Late Tang

The wound was burning with pain. .

Pain, incomparable pain, even though the best doctor in Bianzhou City has cleaned and bandaged all the wounds for him, and gave him a glass of painkilling medicinal wine, but all the time, he still feels as if there are countless ants biting the wound.He felt as if he was going to die, could die at any moment.

Since he left Xiao County in Xuzhou to join the army, he has fought north and south over the years and was often injured.But no matter how hard he was in the past, he had never suffered such a serious injury.In other words, I have never suffered such humiliation, nor have I tasted such pain.After waking up, he kept coming over, asking one thing after another, in order to relieve the pain and the humiliation in his heart.

After making such thorough preparations, even Li Keyong's one-eyed wolf was beheaded on the spot by him. Who would have expected that in the end, he would lose all his credit and capsize in the gutter.If it weren't for the guards of the Golden Spear City who used their bodies to resist the arrows for him, I'm afraid he would have followed in Li Ya'er's footsteps.

His face was ferocious and his eyes were fierce, like a wounded wild animal.

"how?"

There was a deep groove of blood on Zhu Zhen's face, and her complexion was also ugly.He panted and replied: "The loss is huge, those Sha Tuo dogs are still attacking the city!"

This is indeed a moment of shame for all Liang Jun, because of their carelessness, they were reversed at a critical moment.It's all the blame on that damned An Jinquan, who would have thought that such a sinister guy would actually betray King Liang's trust.What surprised them even more was that when the Hedong Army in the camp learned that Li Keyong was dead, most of the generals in Hedong were captured, and even when An Jinquanlian's own brother fell into the hands of Liang Jun. , even dare to fight back, and can make a counterattack plan in such a short period of time, and quickly implement it.

I lost Jingzhou carelessly.

The [-] Bian army and the [-] Jin army fought a chaotic battle outside the city of Bianzhou. As a result, the confident Bian army who was imagining that it was about to annex the [-] elite troops from Hedong suffered a fatal blow.Those Hedong troops were all mad. They pretended to surrender, tricked the Bian army into approaching, and let down their vigilance. Then the crossbowmen suddenly attacked and shot King Liang off his horse.Immediately afterwards, [-] Hedong cavalry rushed out of the camp and rushed to the Bian army formation.

The moment Li Keyong was killed, many Bianjun couldn't help but have such thoughts. It turned out that Li Yaer, the flying tiger, was nothing more than that.

But when the cavalry of the Black Crow Army and Yi'er Army rushed out and tens of thousands of horses galloped like a frenzy, many Bian troops finally understood that the Shatuo cavalry had no worthless soldiers under their reputation.

Zhu Wen was shot off his horse, King Liang's banner was cut down, and the entire Bian Army camp quickly collapsed.They were stunned by the Shatuo people, defeated, and fled all the way to Bianzhou City.

Twenty miles away, fighting in the dark, the maddened Hedong Army actually beat the Bian Army like a bereaved dog.Twenty miles away, there are at least ten thousand Bianjun soldiers lying on the road.

The Bian army fled all the way to the city of Bianzhou, but the Jin army still refused to let them go.They actually just chased after each other like that, without any siege equipment, and relying on that momentum, they let them take advantage of the chaos in Bianzhou City and rushed into Luocheng in Bianzhou.

If Zhu Zhen hadn't personally rushed forward with a team of Bian army elites to block this momentum, Bianzhou City might have been captured by the Hedong army.

The scuffle has lasted all night, and dawn has arrived, and the offensives of both sides have finally slowed down.

Right now, Zhu Zhen personally commanded the Bian army to defend Yacheng and began to reorganize its troops, while the Jin army has fully occupied Luocheng and is currently sweeping bloody by the court.All Bian troops who failed to withdraw into the inner city were collected and killed.Even ordinary people began to be killed by mistake.Later, after the frenzied Jin army completely occupied the outer city, it simply started a more tragic wash of the city. Raiding, looting, annihilating the Communists, arson, and the prosperous Luocheng of Bianzhou instantly became a hell on earth.

Zhu Wenqi's lips trembled after waking up from a coma. He never expected that things would turn out like this.Li Ke was dead, and those Jin troops were so ruthless, injuring him so hard.

"Destroy all those generals from the east of the river to the city wall, and behead all of them for public display!"

Zhu Zhen was a little embarrassed, he said cautiously: "During the chaotic battle last night, the prisoners of those generals in Hedong were basically taken back by the Jin army. The remaining few, we have already killed in the chaos."

Hearing that the Hedong generals had been rescued, Zhu Wen became more and more annoyed.

He let the wind dry his eyes, and he became hard-hearted. He finally understood Li Keyong's feelings when he fought against Li Jing. After repeated defeats, everyone in the world laughed at him.

"Immediately send people to the various military towns to dispatch troops. Damn Shatuo dogs, I will not let them go. I will smash their corpses into thousands of pieces and smash their bones into ashes." Although Zhu Wen was angry, his mind became more and more serious. calm down.After suffering such a big loss last night, he has calmed down now.There are still nearly [-] Shatuo elites outside, but in Bianzhou City, with all the Liang troops at this time, there are only less than [-] left.Although he is confident that he can defeat the Jin army outside with these tens of thousands of horses.

But Zhu Wen had to think about going further, the Jin army had obviously gone mad, especially when they occupied the outer city of Bianzhou, at this time, using the army in Bianzhou city to fight the Jin army might be a melee in the streets , Such battles consume the most troops.Moreover, if it is really defeated, Bianzhou City is probably finished.In addition, he had to consider another problem. Yang Fuguang had already abandoned him, and he had to guard against the thief Yang who was not far away from him.In addition to Li Jing in the east, there is only a river across.If he and the Hedong army fight here and lose both sides, no matter whether it is Yang Fuguang or Li Jing, they may come to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

After calming down, Zhu Wen had already figured it out, and he couldn't rush to fight the Jin army in Bianzhou.As a result, the Bian army was defeated yesterday, and its morale has plummeted today.Secondly, he had to keep this elite army.The best way is to stick to the inner city, and then dispatch troops from Bian, Zheng, Xu and other places to deal with this Jin army.When he thought about it, Li Keyong was dead, and these Hedong troops went crazy for a while, but they couldn't think that they could take Xuanwu from him with 2 troops.Sooner or later, they will still leave by themselves.Since he couldn't eat the Jin army, he might as well let them leave.Now, the biggest enemy in his eyes is not the [-] Jin troops, but Yang Fuguang and Li Jing who planned all this behind the scenes.Those Jin troops are nothing more than a group of wild wolves who have lost their first wolf.

Although he kept telling himself to restrain himself and calm down, Zhu Wen still felt angry and heartbroken.

"Go and invite Vice Marshal Gao to come over immediately. I have something important to discuss." Li Keyong almost hit the geese with the geese pecking at his eyes. Whether it's Yang Fuguang or Li Jing, he can't deal with it alone. Understand.Now that he had boarded Tian Lingzi's boat, he had to rely on Tian Lingzi's strength now.

In Luocheng, Bianzhou, in a luxurious mansion.

A group of generals of the Jin army gathered together, and they did not have the slightest joy of capturing the outer city of Bianzhou, nor did they have the joy of beheading more than [-] Bian dogs.In the hall at this time, the atmosphere was gloomy, and everyone was plain.

A pair of extremely valuable golden nanmu coffin was placed in the middle, inside which contained Li Keyong's head.Since Li Keyong's body was still in the hands of the Bian army, the Jin army had to tie a body with paper and sew it together with the head.An Jinquan is the host of the funeral, and he is also the chief general of the more than [-] Jin troops.

In front of the coffin, the Cao family who joined the army this time took Li Cunxu to criticize Ma Daixiao and knelt in front of the coffin. On one side, there were Li Kexiu, Li Kening and other Li Keyong brothers, as well as Li Cunxian, Li Sien, Li Siben and others. Li Keyong's adopted sons who were still wrapped in gauze.The guards of the mourning hall are the soldiers of the Yier Army, and they all belong to Li Keyong's adopted sons in name.

After the memorial ceremony was completed, An Jinquan asked Mrs. Cao to take Li Cunxu to the seat, and then took out a black box.

Li Cunxu is the third son of Li Keyong, also a bastard.This time Li Keyong went south, bringing with him his three sons, Li Luoluo, Li Tingluan, and Li Cunxu.The eldest Li Luoluo is seven years old, Li Tingluan is six years old, and Li Cunxu is four years old.Originally, Li Keyong was worried that it would be unsafe for his children to stay in Taiyuan, and secondly, he wanted his sons to experience war earlier, so as to cultivate their bravery.When he entered the city today, he brought Li Luoluo and Li Tingluan into the city, leaving the youngest Li Cunxu behind.Originally, Li Cunxu wanted to take him with him, but when he was in prison, he complained of a stomachache, so he stayed.Who knows, this parting will become a farewell forever.

Li Keyong was killed in Bianzhou, as were Li Luoluo and Li Tingluan.

Right now, Li Cunxu is Li Keyong's only son.

Before that, An Jinquan had discussed with brothers Li Kexiu, Li Cunzhang, Li Sien and other righteous brothers.An Jinquan meant that he originally wanted to choose Li Kexiu to replace Li Keyong.However, Li Kexiu is not Li Keyong's brother, but the son of Li Keyong's uncle.Although Li Kening and Li Kerou are Li Keyong's brothers, they have little prestige in the army and they are not very old.In terms of seniority, Li Kexiu is older than them, in terms of prestige, he is not as good as Li Kexiu, but in terms of blood, he is not as good as Li Keyong's son Li Cunxu.

In the end, it was Li Kexiu who made the decision, thinking that the position of Lord Shatuo should be inherited by Li Cunxu.Although Li Kening was secretly dissatisfied, he saw that everyone agreed, and he was in the enemy's territory at this time, so he did not object in the end.

Now, four-year-old Li Cunxu is sitting on the commander-in-chief of the Lord of Shatuo, looking at the uncles and foster brothers with some strangeness.

"Young master, King Jin was murdered by the despicable Zhu Wen, you know that?" An Jinquan looked at Li Cunxu and asked.

"Murdered means that father will never get up from that coffin again?" Li Cunxu asked with some childish words.

An Jinquan nodded, and he held up the black box and presented it to Li Cunxu.

He said with a very solemn expression: "King Jin was murdered by Zhu A San, and he was shot with dozens of arrows. Before he died, King Jin pulled three arrows from his body, and asked me to put these three arrows together with the last words to the young master. Paraphrase." Saying that, An Jinquan took out the first arrow from it, which was still stained with purple and black blood. "This arrow was taken from King Jin's chest. King Jin asked me to give this arrow to you for safekeeping. This arrow is King Jin's will for you to crusade against Zhu Wen and conquer Bianzhou. "

Li Cunxu was a little nervous and frightened by An Jinquan's serious face and tone, and took the arrow carefully.An Jinquan put away the arrow and didn't give it to him right away. "The young master took this arrow and swore to King Jin's body that in the future, he will crusade against Zhu Wen and conquer Bianzhou!"

"I swear, he will attack Zhu Wen and conquer Bianzhou in the future."

An Jinquan nodded, and took out a second arrow: "This arrow hit King Jin's abdomen. King Jin asked you to save some arrows, and swore that he would definitely conquer Daibei and take back Yunshuo." The foundation of the Shatuo tribe."

"I swear, he will conquer Daibei one day and take back the foundation of Shatuo."

An Jinquan looked at Li Cunxu's serious look, nodded in relief, and took out the last blood-stained arrow, "This arrow once hit King Jin's leg, and King Jin asked you to swear by this arrow, For the rest of your life, you must defeat Li Jing, the sworn enemy of the Shatuo Clan!"

"I swear, for the rest of my life, I will definitely defeat Shatuo's enemy, Li Jing!"

An Jinquan packed the three arrows in a silk quiver and solemnly handed them over to Li Cunxu for safekeeping. "Keep these three arrows well. After returning to Hedong, put these three arrows in the family temple. When the young master fulfills his oath and leads the army to go out, he will take these three arrows with him. After he is done, he will send them back home. In the temple, to comfort King Jin's spirit in heaven."

Li Cunxu took the arrow with a half understanding, and held it tightly in his arms.

After finishing these, An Jinquan took out the imitation Shatuo crown used by Li Ke and put it on Li Cunxu's head.

At this moment, the position of patriarch of the Shatuo clan was transferred from Li Keyong to four-year-old Li Cunxu.Although this is just a newly weaned child, in the eyes of the generals, this is also the most suitable heir.Otherwise, if it were anyone else, they would probably be dissatisfied with each other.But the current Shatuo can no longer stand the infighting.

According to the agreement, Li Cunxu inherited the title of Jiedu envoy of Hedong and king of Jin. Although this still needs the permission of the imperial court, no one thinks that the imperial court will disagree.After Li Cunxu's position was established, and after an internal agreement among the generals of Shatuo, it was decided that Li Kexiu would be the deputy governor of Hedong Township, Li Cunzhang would be the marching commander, and An Jinquan would be the marching judge. Take over by other surviving generals.Although An Jinquan's position is not high, he has become the de facto decision maker of the more than 1 soldiers and horses, and has also served as the commander of the Black Crow Army.

Although Li Cunzhang has high qualifications for An Jinquan, he has no objection to this.He looked at An Jinquan, who looked like a general, and asked worriedly: "The swine fever in Gouyue is now huddled in Yacheng, and can't avoid the battle. Although we have won the outer city, it is very difficult to take Yacheng again." Difficult. Should we consider withdrawing to Hedong first?"

An Jinquan shook his head: "Now is the time to avenge King Jin, how can we retreat lightly."

"But we go deep alone, there are only more than [-] people, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with swine fever."

"Don't worry, general, a messenger sent a messenger to Wulao last night to tell King Yang about the situation here, and ask him to send troops to Xuanwu to avenge King Jin. As long as we continue to surround Zhu Ahsan here, it won't take long He said, as soon as King Yang's soldiers and horses arrive at the Eastern Capital, the heads of Master Zhu'a's three items will be taken to pay homage in front of King Jin's spirit!" An Jinquan gritted his teeth. (To be continued.)
