Datang New Order

ps: Thank you Brother Eagle Zhou for your reward!

By the time the escaped King Liang of Gaoping and a group of more than a hundred people arrived at the foot of Taiyue Mountain, it was already dawn.The king of Liang was sick and couldn't bear the hardships, so he had to stop at a hidden hill.After eating some food, everyone felt exhausted physically and mentally, and soon fell asleep.

Only Li Zhen looked up at the dark sky and couldn't fall asleep.When he went to Luzhou, he saw the mighty Yan army with his own eyes. Compared with his current situation, he felt powerless in his heart.The more he thought about the future, the more he felt that the road ahead was bleak and hopeless.Not to mention that he is still under siege by the Yan army and cannot escape, even if he escapes back to Bianzhou, what can he do?

Yuan Cong's Qin army and Tingzidu, Zhu Youning's Jianwu army, Shi Shucong's Baoda army, Zhang Guihou's Zhen army, Zhang Cunjing's guard army, and Zhu Yougong's Longwu army were all defeated. Kang Huaiying's Baoyi army , Yang Shihou's Wuning Army, and He Delun's Huazhou Army were also abandoned, and the period of destruction is not far away. When they return to Bianzhou, who else can King Liang rely on?

Is it by relying on the town soldiers who have rushed to level up the states?Or Ge Congzhou, whose military power has surpassed the master and whose loyalty is unknown?Henan is rich and has a large population. Li Zhen believes that as long as Liang Wang regains his foothold after returning to Bianzhou, it will not be difficult to organize hundreds of thousands of troops again. How much combat power can the gathered army have?Is it worthy of a blow from the Yan army?

After discussing with Han Yanhui, Li Zhen already knew that his dream of being a "lord of the Wei country" had been shattered. He was at war with heaven and man in his heart, and he was thinking about leaving Luzhou repeatedly during his escape from Gaoping. What he said: "Han is short of a helper. If Li Guanjian is interested, no matter whether King Liang surrenders or fights, he can find someone after the war here is over. Someone is willing to talk about one or two before King Yan... ..."

Look at Yan Jun, how grand he is!Tell Li Zhen clearly.Whether it's a surrender or a war, it doesn't matter if you insist on resisting. After the battle, you can consider helping me, I don't care!

Should he continue to be loyal to the King of Liang and repay the kindness of King Liang for his kindness, or should he live for his ambition and choose a good tree?Li Zhen deliberated over and over again, finally exhaled deeply the stale breath that was stuck in his heart, and finally made up his mind.

After the sky brightened, King Liang developed hysteria in his lethargy.He kept murmuring unintelligible words, and several guards leaned over to their ears, and with great difficulty, they could discern what King Liang meant—that King Liang was thirsty and wanted to drink honey water.

I walked in a hurry last night, where would I think of bringing honey water?The guards looked at each other, not knowing what to do.Jing Xiang was awakened, he hurried over to ask, sighed for a moment, and ordered the guards to directly feed the king of Liang with water.He only lied to King Liang that it was honey water.

He couldn't stay here for long, so Jing Xiang ordered to set off immediately, but after searching, Li Zhen was missing.Another sergeant said that one of the horses was missing.Both Kang Huaiying and Shi Shucong were furious, gnashing their teeth and wanted to go back to chase Li Zhen back, while Jing Xiang stared blankly at the way he came.After saying "everyone has his own ambition", he stopped the two of them and urged them to get on the road as soon as possible.His eyes were full of desolation.

When King Liang was carried into Taiyue Mountain in a coma, Li Zhen rushed back to Gaoping.

At present, more than 20 people of the allied forces of the princes are still besieged in the narrow area in Gaoping and the Changping passage to the north. The food and fodder can only be used for one month, and the failure is a foregone conclusion.What Li Zhen wanted to do was to "dedicate" the entire army intact to King Yan, thinking of it as a qualification for promotion.Li Zhen was full of ambitions in his chest, he didn't want his talent and learning to be useless, and he went to be buried with Liang Wang in vain.

Under King Liang's command, the most important generals are those who die, those who want to surrender, and those who flee. Now the most powerful people are He Delun and Yang Shihou. There are more than [-] people.The rest are military leaders, large and small, ranging from several thousand at most to a few hundred at least. They were originally part of Kang Huaiying and Shi Shucong, but Kang Huaiying and Shi Shucong fled with the king of Liang. People have no ownership.

In addition, there are nearly 3 people from the troops of Wang Zongji of the Shu Army and Li Shenfu of the Wu Army. However, these two armies sat by and watched their friendly troops fall during the Bohequan Battle, which was disliked by the two armies. Never mind.

Li Zhen dispatched a team of swordsmen and hid them in the Gaoping county government office, so he recruited He Delun and Yang Shihou, and said bluntly: "In the battle of Bohequan, the army suffered heavy losses, and all the powerful troops were too weak to fight. There is really not enough food and fodder. It has been exhausted, not enough for more than a month, and the failure of the Northern Expedition is a foregone conclusion. Your Highness has avoided the West Mountain (Taiyue Mountain is located in the west of Gaoping), and plans to go to Bianzhou to revive the flag and drums. I will entrust Li to handle the military affairs during this period. Please The two generals have come to discuss and stop."

Liang Wang avoided the West Mountain, and the grain and fodder were not enough for more than a month, these two news rang in the ears of He Delun and Yang Shihou, they were so shocked that their faces turned pale.After a long time, the two asked in unison: "But what strategy will His Highness decide when he leaves?"

Li Zhendao: "When a certain returned from Luzhou, Yan Jun said that within seven days, all armies must abandon their armor, otherwise they will attack..." Shaking his head, he continued: "Actually, it doesn't take seven days, they only need to consume In the last month, we all had to starve to death... His Highness means that he needs seven days, we delay here for seven days, and then we can surrender to the Yan army."

The seven-day period was Li Zhen's idea. After all, King Liang was kind to him. Li Zhen hoped to set aside seven days for King Liang, which could be regarded as an act of repaying his kindness and worthy of his conscience.After saying these words, Li Zhen raised the teacup and slowly sipped the tea. At the same time, he carefully observed the faces of He Delun and Yang Shihou. Once the two insisted on fighting to the death, they would smash the cups and cut them into pieces.

In fact, Li Zhen was overwhelmed, the previous arrangements were completely redundant.Hearing what Li Zhen said, He Delun and Yang Shihou immediately lost the confidence to continue.

What He Delun thought repeatedly in his mind was that His Highness avoided Xishan, took away Kang Huaiying, Shi Shucong and Jingxiang, but didn't take me with him, didn't even notify him, it was in vain for me to fight for him for many years.The more he thought about it, the colder He Delun felt, and at the same time he felt a little resentful and dissatisfied.

Yang Shihou was once betrayed by the general. He served as a soldier under Li Hanzhi in his early years, but was sent away directly by Li Hanzhi, so his ability to bear it is much stronger than He Delun.What he was thinking about was that since he wanted to surrender, he had to make some contributions and try to make a good impression in front of His Royal Highness King Yan. After pondering for some reason, he immediately said, "But it's up to Li Xun to make the decision, and Yang has no objection. It's just that On the side of the Shu army and Wu army, in order to prevent accidents, do you need Yang to send troops to encircle and suppress?"

Li Zhen showed approval, but he didn't answer Yang Shihou immediately, he turned his head to stare at He Delun, waiting for He Delun's reply.Yang Shihou was quick-witted, and immediately put his hand on the handle of the knife quietly. If He Delun had any objections, he would kill them directly - this is a great contribution!

It's a pity that He Delun didn't follow Master Yang's intentions, he shook his head, nodded again, and said sadly: "The general situation is like this, what else can He say... Forget it, let's surrender, so that the brothers can leave a way out."

Only then did Li Zhen heave a sigh of relief, so he said: "This time when I entered Yan, Li was thinking about it. If I just surrender here, I don't have much status. Take it down, it can also be used as a gift."

Yang Shihou replied in a deep voice: "What Li Jianan said is very true, so I will mobilize troops and horses, and the two thieves, Wang and Li, will definitely not be able to get away!"

He Delun was still in a state of confusion, and Li Zhen yelled: "General He, this important matter cannot be ignored!" Then he came to his senses, and said shamelessly: "It's He's fault, isn't he, I'm working hard for His Highness , Your Highness actually ignored it, a certain feeling in my heart..."

Li Zhen and Yang Shihou were completely silent.

In fact, at this time, Wang Zongji and Li Shenfu had already had peace talks with the Yan army, but the two of them believed that they were guest armies. You need to be more confident, so in the process of negotiating with Han Yanhui, the conditions offered were too high, and they couldn't reach an agreement.

The condition of Wang Zongji and Li Shenfu was that the Yan army would allow him to return to the country without being blocked. For this reason, they were willing to fight back and stab Liang Jun in the stomach and waist.How could Han Yanhui agree to such a condition?Regardless of whether Shu Jun and Wu Jun are willing to serve as internal responses, Yan Jun does not need it at all.

Therefore, the negotiation has been procrastinating for several days, and it has not been able to satisfy both parties. Han Yanhui upholds the attitude that there is nothing to do, while Wang Suan and Li Shenfu want to wait and see, but they are destined not to wait for Han Yanhui The day of compromise has come.

At Choushi on December [-]rd, the sergeants in the camp of the Shu-Wu coalition army located in the inner temple village of Changping Passage were asleep. On the hanging buckets of the north and south gates of the village, the sergeants on duty were alarmed by some movement at the same time.A moment later, a group of sergeants came out of the dark night, suddenly shouted, and rushed towards the gate of the village.

The sergeants on duty quickly shook the alarm bell to spread the warning message throughout the barracks, but they themselves were pierced by several arrows through their necks and fell down the bucket.The Shu-Wu Allied Forces were awakened by the alarm and rushed out of the camp, but most of the sergeants were in a panic and couldn't figure out the situation, running around like headless chickens.

The first batch of battalion soldiers dispatched by He Delun and Yang Shihou were all capable of night vision. After they opened the gate of the village, they immediately sent a signal to the rear. The Ning army rushed into the camp of the Shu-Wu Allied Army from the north and the south, and a massacre began.

At dawn, all [-] Shu-Wu allied forces were slaughtered, tens of thousands were beheaded, and the rest surrendered.Both Wang Zongji and Li Shenfu died under the knife, and were later identified by soldiers of the Shu-Wu coalition army, and their heads were captured by Liang Jun.

Li Zhen, He Delun, and Yang Shihou finally breathed a sigh of relief after destroying the Shu-Wu Allied Forces. With this "Certificate of Fame" in hand, they can be regarded as saving a little capital for promotion.

After cleaning the battlefield, the three gathered the rest of the Liang army's large and small army leaders to gather in the Gaoping county government office to discuss surrendering to the Yan army.There were more than a dozen brave army chiefs shouting "Fight to the death without end", and they were beheaded on the spot by the knives and axes pouring out of the hall, and the ground was stained red with blood.The rest were overwhelmed by Li Zhen and others' harsh tactics, and seeing that the general situation was over, they had no choice but to respond in unison.So they went back to camp, rectified their troops and horses, and prepared to surrender.
