Chapter 467 General Pingxi

The Minister of Honglu Temple never expected to encounter a basin of cold water. He wanted to show his merit, but instead he was scolded, not to mention how depressed he felt.

I left the palace in despair.

At this time, Li Jing had gone to the Anbei Protectorate. Li Chengdao ordered Li Jing to immediately take over Wang Xuance's army and take over all Tianzhu surrender regulations.

In order not to dishearten the soldiers, he appointed Wang Xuance as General Pingxi and served under Li Jing.

Compared with the history, when Wang Xuance defeated Tianzhu and only had a free official, it was much better.

Li Chengdao was generous because Wang Xuance was indeed a talent.

After Li Jing received the order, he rushed to Tianzhu immediately.

Wang Xuance besieged Tali City, and based on past experience, he left the southern gate behind.

In desperation, King Harsha left only 30,000 men to guard the tower, and was strictly ordered not to leave the city to fight with the Tang army.

He led his army back to Qunu from the south gate to quell the chaos.

In his heart, the throne is still the most important thing.

Wang Xuance knew that King Haris had left and immediately ordered Fan Xian to attack the city.

Tianzhu's soldiers had long since lost their fighting spirit. Within a day, Wang Yong broke through a gap. Fan Xian led the army to expand the results. He captured Tali in just one day and captured tens of thousands of people.

Wang Xuance sat down at the General's Mansion in Tali City, and the fast horse from the Anbei Protector's Mansion arrived.

"The imperial edict has arrived!"

Hearing that an imperial decree had arrived, many Tang Dynasty captains gathered in front of the general's mansion to hear His Majesty's imperial decree at this critical moment.

Wang Xuance rushed out of the mansion and said, "Long live your Majesty!"

The imperial edict was for Wang Xuance alone. Fan Xian and Jiang Shiren were not even qualified to attend, so they could only stand at a distance, feeling extremely excited.

All the soldiers worked hard to attack for this moment.

"By the destiny of heaven, the emperor summons the sun: Wang Xuance deeply understands my wishes, is loyal to the millions of subjects of the Tang Dynasty, is brave and good at fighting, and has great strength. He is specially named General Pingxi and serves the Anbei Protectorate. I hereby express my gratitude!"

"Long live my emperor! Long live my emperor! Long live my emperor!"

Wang Xuance took the imperial edict with both hands, and the envoy of the Duhu Mansion then took a military order and handed it to him, saying: "This is what Li Duhu gave you, my subordinates, please retire!"

Wang Xuance held the imperial edict and placed it in the middle of the hall for worship. He then bowed to it several times and then opened the military order of the Protectorate.

Wang Xuance was made a general. He was his deputy but he was still a minor official in Honglu Temple. It was said that now he was not even qualified to serve Wang Xuance. He felt a little lonely and said to Wang Xuance: "This military order is another reward from the Protectorate!"

Fan Xian said: "We defeated Tianzhu with three thousand troops, Li Duhu will not turn a blind eye!"

Wang Xuance knew the mentality of these two people and comforted him: "Even if the Protectorate ignores these two adults, I, the general, will still report to Heaven!"

The two of them felt a little relieved.

After all, if you have made such a great contribution, how can you feel comfortable without being promoted?

Wang Xuance opened the military order, and there was no reward. He only asked him to hand over military power, and the army was on standby at Tali.

Wang Xuance murmured: "Li Duhu may be coming!"

Jiang Shiren said: "What's going on? They come to pick the fruits we sow?"

"Bold! Is this what you can say? If the superiors hear it, I will first punish you for talking nonsense about government affairs!"

Jiang Shiren waved his sleeves and went out angrily, but he did not dare to contradict him. He would have to rely on him for his future career.

Wang Xuance ordered three thousand troops to defend Tali City, waiting for the Anbei Protectorate to send someone to take over, or for the Protectorate to come in person.

Within three days, military reports came one after another. It turned out that when King Haris returned to Qunv City, he discovered that the coup was all fake and was Wang Xuance's alienation plan. Knowing that he had fallen into the Han's trick, he was furious. Then he learned that the city captured by the Tang army was undefended, so he mobilized his troops to take it back. In this way, Tali was an isolated city.

Originally, Tianzhu was defeated, but it seemed that Tianzhu was resurrected.

After King Harsha captured the lost city, he continued to lead more than 200,000 troops to attack Tali City.

Wang Xuance sat in the tower, unable to move, because he no longer had the right to command these three thousand people, and the military order from the Protectorate clearly told him to stay put.

He could only watch everything happen.

Seeing King Harsha approaching Tali, Wang Xuance had no choice but to passively prepare for defense.

"General Wang, the general will not accept your orders. We cannot be passively beaten like this. Please give the order, general. Let us fight out of the city and capture King Harsha alive!"

Wang Xuance also knew the seriousness of the matter, but he did not dare to disobey military orders. He could only sit and sigh, but did not dare to give orders.

The emperor's words can exhaust thousands of troops to death!

While Fan Xian, Jiang Shiren and others were complaining, sentries suddenly came to report that 300,000 Tang troops appeared in the Nile River area, and they were the Long Banner of the Anbei Protectorate.

Wang Xuance stood up in surprise and said loudly: "Master Li Duhu must have arrived in person. The court has not given up on us, nor has it left us alone! Master Li is here!"

The generals suddenly became excited. The 300,000 troops were already the entire strength of the Anbei Protectorate. Of course, it was only the Protector Li Jing who came here that had this strength.

Wang Xuance looked excited: "Let's explore again!"

The next day, the sentry came to report that the army was only three days away. King Harsha's army was retreating, and there were signs of retreating from Qunu. Moreover, all the surrounding cities that had not been captured, or those previously captured, had fallen to Li. The hand of an adult.

Wang Xuance was overjoyed and ordered the entire army to perform tooth sacrifices.

Li Jing led the order and personally led an army of 300,000 people. The front army was led by Li Ji with 100,000 horses, all equipped with the most advanced equipment in the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, the 100,000 people in the front army were all cavalry.

He personally led 200,000 troops to follow suit.

The people of Tianzhu have never seen this momentum before, and they know what an army is in the world. This is not at the same level as the Tang army that came before.

Li Ji led his army all the way forward. Everywhere he went, everyone opened their doors and surrendered. He didn't waste a single soldier or a decent battle. He just picked up the city along the way.

Ten thousand soldiers were stationed in each city to pacify the people, and there was no offense in autumn.

This speed was even faster, and they soon reached the foot of Tali City. The army camped thirty miles away from Tali City.

Wang Xuance took Jiang Shiren and Fan Xian to meet Li Ji in the camp.

Fan Xian was Li Ji's favorite general, and he was also an acquaintance with Wang Xuance, so naturally he could not avoid a few pleasantries.

"General Li, why do I think His Majesty seems dissatisfied with this Western Expedition?"

Li Ji smiled and said: "Heaven's heart is unpredictable. We ministers should just follow orders. We must not guess the king's heart. General Wang will also join the court in the future, so we must pay attention to this aspect."

Wang Xuance said: "I made a mistake. I hope General Li will give me more advice in the future!"

Li Jidao: "I'll lend you three thousand people. Don't mention this in front of the Protector again!"

Wang Xuance asked curiously: "Has General Li been punished for this matter again?"

Li Ji waved his hand and said, "Don't mention it, don't mention it!"

Listening to his tone, Wang Xuance had a rough guess in his mind. It was obvious that Li Jing was very dissatisfied with the borrowing of troops!

Wang Xuance never knew that Li Chengdao had spoken before him, so he never understood why Li Jing and His Majesty didn't care about his great achievements.

The title of general may also be for the sake of these three thousand soldiers who sacrificed their lives to recognize their merits.

Three days later, Li Jing led his army to join the generals.
