Datang New Order

ps: Thank you for your tip.

In the middle of the night, under the city of Wuxiang, a group of soldiers was calling the city at the south gate.The officers on duty did not dare to be negligent, and quickly reported to Li Shaohong, the patrolling city leader.Li Shaohong was resting at the base of the city, so he went up to the city immediately after hearing the news. When he came up to have a look, he saw nearly a hundred soldiers waiting outside the south gate, holding lamp balls and torches.

"Whose soldiers?" Li Shaohong asked.

The officer on duty at the south gate hurriedly reported, "His Highness King Han's soldier is An Jia Erlang."

Li Shaohong lay on the battlements and looked down, and saw that the leader was An Chonghui's younger brother, An Chongmeng. His heart tensed up, and he opened his mouth and asked, "An Erlang? It's Li Shaohong, why did he come home exhausted at night?"

An Zhongmeng raised his head and said loudly: "General Li, the battle ahead is very tense, His Royal Highness King Han asked someone to come quickly for help, please open the city quickly!"

Li Shaohong asked the officer on duty to put down the sling, and went down the tower. When he came to the city gate, he saw An Chongmeng rushing in with the soldiers.Li Shaohong asked: "An Erlang, is the war not going well?"

An Zhongmeng urged the soldiers to enter the city, and said: "General Li, the Yan army is fierce and stubborn, and the battle is not easy to fight. Xiao Yazi defeated Shideng Shanxi and was captured by the enemy."

Li Shaohong was shocked: "Xiao Yazi was captured? How could this be?" No wonder Li Shaohong was surprised. Li Congke enjoys the name of "Little Yazi" and bravely chased "General Yazi" Li Cunxu in the old Hedong Army, and was defeated. It's not surprising, Li Shaohong has heard of it before, but with Li Congke's ability, he still has the ability to lead an elite soldier to kill a bloody path among thousands of troops, why was he captured by the enemy?

An Chongmeng didn't answer, but asked consecutively: "Where are King Zheng and King Jin now? Are they resting? I want to meet the two Highnesses immediately!"

Li Shaohong wondered: "An Er, did you see the two Highnesses on the way?"

An Zhongmeng was stunned: "What?... Are the two Highnesses here?"

Li Shaohong said suspiciously: "Your Highnesses led the army south in person a few days ago, you should have seen it on the way..." He suddenly became suspicious, and felt that An Zhongmeng's face was a little strange under the light of the torch, and then looked at the people who entered the city. These more than a hundred sergeants didn't seem to be entering the city, but they were approaching the brothers who were guarding the city gate.So he couldn't help putting his hand on the scabbard, and asked, "An'er, which way did you go when you came back?"

A sergeant behind An Chongmeng rushed to Li Shaohong in a few steps, stood beside An Chongmeng and smiled: "Li Shaohong, do you still know a certain family?"

Li Shaohong took a closer look, and suddenly it was like five thunderbolts, this person is not Li Cunxu but who is it!

Before Li Shaohong could speak, Li Cunxu yelled: "Do it!" A knife slashed like lightning, Li Shaohong's head flew up, and blood danced all over the sky from his bare neck.

Following Li Cunxu's order.More than a hundred soldiers who entered the city rushed to both sides, and hacked to death more than a dozen defenders guarding the gate.By virtue of this, a hundred soldiers of the army divided into two groups, all the way followed An Chongmeng to climb the city along the corridor, and killed towards the tower; all the way followed Li Cunxu to rush inward, towards the north gate.Wuxiang City is small, with only two city gates, the north and the south. After taking the north gate, Wuxiang City can be in the palm of your hand.

An Chongmeng led his soldiers to the south gate.Disperse the defenders caught off guard, and then shake the torch from side to side on the gate tower.Between the heels, a long dragon like a river of lights appeared from a distance, and quickly approached Wuxiang.Not long after.The shouts of killing shook the sky, Li Xiaoxi was the first to lead the army into the city.

Li Cunxu quickly came to the north gate with dozens of personal guards. At this moment, earth-shattering shouts came from the direction of the south gate, and the officers and soldiers guarding the north gate were all looking to the south suspiciously.I saw dozens of sergeants rushing over viciously.The officer shouted: "Stop! The north gate is closed at night, no trespassing allowed! Which army are you from?..."

Without saying a word, Li Cunxu threw his head at the officer and chopped it off.The officer was already prepared, and immediately drew his knife to resist.When the blades intersected, the ear-piercing metal clanging sound burst out, splashing sparks in all directions.The officer's right arm was sore and numb under the blow of the knife, and he tried to swing the knife to receive the attack, but he couldn't pull it up anyway.

Li Cunxu is very talented. He can open a stone bow at the age of 11. Now it is no problem to open a bow with four stones. Since the death of Li Cunxiao and Kang Junli, Li Cunxu is the most brave in the Hedong Army. How can an ordinary officer be his opponent? Under his fierce force, his whole body felt numb and weak.

The second knife slashed like lightning, and the officer only had time to blink his eyelids before he was split into two ends obliquely.Only then did the two sergeants behind him rush forward and slash at Li Cunxu with their knives.Li Cunxu flipped his left hand over, grabbed the arm of a man holding a knife, and pulled it with his waist and abdomen, and the sergeant came out of his hand, and fell for more than a foot, and he couldn't turn himself up.

Li Cunxu took advantage of the momentum to avoid another sergeant's saber light, and slapped the sergeant's abdomen directly with the horizontal knife in his right hand. At the same time, he kicked forward, rushed up against the sergeant, and drove him behind. The five or six people who came over pushed and fell to the ground one after another.

The main general showed his might, and Li Cunxu's personal guards rushed up like tigers, killing the defenders at the north gate in the blink of an eye.The sound of clappers sounded from the top of the city tower, and hundreds of defenders went down the corridor to the city, trying to take back the north gate, but Li Cunxu killed three of them in a row.

A defender recognized Li Cunxu a long time ago and exclaimed, "It's General Yazi!"

The general guarding the north gate is Li Sizhao's general Tang Li. Tang Li also saw Li Cunxu's face clearly, and couldn't help being horrified. He said in panic, "Quick! Quick! Shoot the arrow! Quick..."

A team of archers picked their bows and drew the strings. A dense rain of arrows shot at Li Cunxu, but was blocked by Li Cunxu's personal guards with shields.Li Cunxu shouted: "Come on!" The shield formation pressed towards Tang Li, and Li Cunxu raised his knife behind him, laughing loudly: "If you were not behind you, Tang, how dare Li Sizhao commit treason? Take your dog's life, take your life quickly!"

Tang Li's face was ashen, he cursed at the sergeant and stepped forward to resist.But Li Cunxu had a fierce reputation, and ordinary soldiers had already heard of him like a thunderbolt. Seeing him killing people like cutting grass, how could he dare to come up to die?

Tang Li turned around and wanted to run, but was blocked by the crowd behind him. Li Cunxu jumped out of the shield formation, strode into the crowd, and lifted Tang Li out like a chicken, and threw his hands upside down. To pieces, to die!

Li Cunxu stood in the crowd of defenders, holding a knife in one arm, pointed around, and said with a sneer, "This is Li Yazi, who has regained Wu Township today, who else dares to try the edge of a certain knife!"

Under Li Cunxu's persuasive gaze, the defenders threw down their weapons one by one, knelt down on one knee, and said one after another: "General Yazi, I'm willing to surrender!"

Not long after taking the North Gate, Li Xiaoxi sent someone to invite Li Cunxu, saying that Zhang Gui, the governor of Xizhou, had been captured.

After Li Cunxu arranged the defense of the north gate, he rushed to the Wuxiang county government office. Li Xiaoxi, Guo Chongtao, Ji Wenyun, Zhang Jingshao, Jie Muli, An Chongmeng and others had already arrived. There was one person in the seat who had just been persuaded by Guo Chongtao to surrender. Zhang Gui.

Zhang Gui was blocked by Li Xiaoxi in the county government office, before even the silk sash of his armor was fastened, he was tied up firmly by the Youyan security guards who rushed in.He is different from Li Shaohong and Tang Li. Li Shaohong and Tang Li were very excited about the independence of the three kings, but he did not want the split of the east of the river from the bottom of his heart. On the day when Li Cunxu fled from Jinyang to Luzhou, he was blocked by Zhang Gui's army. If Zhang Gui hadn't released him, Li Cunxu might not have escaped.

Therefore, when Guo Chongtao saw that it was Zhang Gui who had been captured, he begged Li Xiaoxi to release him, and personally persuaded Zhang Gui to surrender, and Zhang Gui agreed immediately.

When Zhang Gui saw Li Cunxu, he knelt down and saluted immediately: "Your Highness... Zhang... a sinner..."

Li Cunxu supported him with both hands: "Inspector Zhang, please hurry up. There is no need to mention the past, no wonder Inspector Zhang... Besides, without Inspector Zhang's noble hand, I would not be alive today. In the future, Inspector Zhang does not need to be called XX." Your Highness, I have asked the King of Yan to resign from the rank of the King of Jin."

Regardless of Zhang Gui's mixed feelings, Li Xiaoxi immediately reported the military situation when he saw that everyone was present, and Zhang Gui who was seated filled up everything that was unclear.

It turns out that after Li Congke was defeated and captured, Li Siyuan withdrew his army to Shiyu. The news spread to Wuxiang, which deeply depressed Li Sizhao and Zhou Dewei.They suggested to Li Siyuan that they hoped that Li Siyuan would withdraw to Wuxiang and wait and see the situation in Gaoping before he could think about it.But Li Siyuan still hoped that An Zhong would dispatch a surprise army to save the battle, so he was not willing to raise his troops to retreat, so he rejected the proposals of Li Sizhao and Zhou Dewei for various reasons, and made his situation more dangerous, and even simply said that he had died. Bitten by the enemy, it is impossible to withdraw.

Li Sizhao was very angry and wanted to stop the supply to Li Siyuan and force him to evacuate Shiyu, but Zhou Dewei, who was equally angry but still rational, stopped him.

According to Zhou Dewei, the reason why Hedong is in trouble now is because of the suspicion of old Jin Wang Li Keyong, but the actions of the three are not blameless.Regardless of who is right and who is wrong, the world is in chaos today, after all, Li Siyuan and the two of them are from the same clan of Hedong. If they want to gain a foothold in this troubled world, they must protect and help each other, and work together with one heart and one mind. ?

Zhou Dewei suggested that instead of just watching Li Siyuan's defeat in Xiangyuan, since Li Siyuan's situation is not good, he should simply go to support, not only to support, but also to provide strong support.What Zhou Dewei meant was to simply concentrate all the main force and storm Luzhou, taking advantage of the stalemate of the Yan army's main force in Gaoping, to take the entire Luzhou in one go.Fukouxing, the main road leading to Hebei, was blocked in Luzhou. When Liang Wang wanted to attack Hebei, he had to watch the faces of the three brothers, so that he could straighten up in front of Liang Wang.

In the end, Li Sizhao was persuaded by Zhou Dewei to go to Shiyu with all his elite troops, leaving Zhang Gui, Li Shaohong and Tang Li to guard Wuxiang.This is what happened in the past, and it is also the main reason why Li Xiaoxi and Li Cunxu were able to capture Wuxiang so easily.

The capture of Wuxiang meant that the entire Allied Army of the Three Kings was wrapped between Wuxiang and Xiangyuan. The situation of the Yan army was very good. Now it depends on how to eat up more than 5 people in the next step.

In this regard, Guo Chongtao made a suggestion to close Wu Township to prevent military intelligence from leaking out!Afterwards, several plans were included, and the plan was so big that it was beyond imagination!

But such a big plan is obviously not something that can be decided by these few people in Wu Township, so Li Xiaoxi sent someone back from the Zhuozhang River Valley Trail to report to Zhou Kan, the temporary commander in chief of the Luzhou battlefield. (to be continued..)
