subvert the late Tang Dynasty

Chapter 160 The Battle of Guangling

Zhang Xiong hurriedly sent a horse to report to Yang Xingmi. Yang Xingmi knew that the opportunity had come, so he asked Zhang Xiong to cooperate with Bi Shiduo boldly and report to Yang Xingmi at any time.

Bi Shiduo assembled 4000 people from Gaoyou and Huaikou, and rushed to Guangling City, Yangzhou. Along the way, he encouraged soldiers and civilians from all over the country, claiming to kill Lu Yongzhi, Zhang Shouyi and others, and eliminate the traitors.The army and civilians along the way responded one after another. When they arrived at the foot of Guangling City, there were already more than 4000 troops, but they were all chaotic, most of them were mobs, and there was not much combat power at all. The main force was still [-] troops from Gaoyou and Huaikou.

Lu Yongzhi also had nearly 2 troops in Guangling City, and he was not afraid of Bi Shiduo's mob at all.

Bi Shiduo wanted to meet Jiedu envoy Gao Pian outside the city. After all, Gao Pian was still the Huainan Jiedu envoy in name. Although Lu Yongzhi and others were powerful, they could not fully control Huainan. Although Gao Pian was almost under house arrest, He is not powerless, after all, he was once the God of War in the Tang Dynasty, the ever-victorious general who had never been defeated, and the king of Bohai County who shocked the world.

Gao Pian's prestige in the army is still relatively high. Although he has been deprived of power in the past two years, he still cannot be replaced by ordinary people, and of course Lu Yongzhi can't.

Gao Pian wanted to contact Bi Shiduo outside the city, but he couldn't escape because he was surrounded by Lu Yongzhi's cronies. The battle is evenly matched, and it is foolish to try to rush out with martial arts.

However, although most people in Guangling City obey Lu Yongzhi, some people are loyal to Gao Pian, and Lu Yongzhi can only use Gao Pian's name to command them.And these people didn't even know that Gao Pian was under house arrest, and they all thought that Gao Pian was obsessed with refining various elixirs to the point of becoming obsessed.

But now Bi Shiduo sent people from outside the city to sneak into the city and spread the news that Gao Pian had been placed under house arrest by Lu Yongzhi. The defenders in the city were skeptical and wanted to see Gao Pian.

How could Lu Yongzhi allow these people to see Gao Pian?Of course, they were all in the way, and they were rejected with one sentence. The king of Bohai County is retreating to make alchemy, and it is at a critical moment. No one can disturb, and those who disobey the order will be killed on the spot!In fact, in this way, the generals already thought that the news that Gao Pian was under house arrest was true.

There was a rift between some generals loyal to Gao Pian in the city and the majority of the army that Lu Yongzhi had brought over, and then there was a conflict, which eventually became ineffective. , There was the sound of people shouting and neighing everywhere, and some rogues and others also took the opportunity to rob property and gold and silver in various shops in the city, killing and injuring countless people.

But those who were loyal to Gao Pian were a minority after all, and they were killed within half a day.Rows of bloody heads were hung on the city wall. These people were the elite defenders of Huainan City. They did not die in the hands of the enemy, but died in the hands of their own people. Many generals who remained neutral could not stand it any longer. up.

At this time, Bi Shiduo also led the troops to attack the city. There was a battle in the city and the losses were not small. Now Bi Shiduo attacked the city again, which made Lu Yongzhi flustered.Lu Yongzhi hastily ordered people to ask for help from the states and counties, and asked the states and counties to send troops to encircle and suppress Bi Shiduo, but these people have long hated Lu Yongzhi to the bone, so how could they send troops to rescue him?

After finally persevering until the next day, a group of men and horses rushed over from a distance. Lu Yongzhi thought it was reinforcements coming, and was overjoyed. He was about to open the city gate to kill Bi Shiduo, and he was caught off guard.But it was discovered that these troops joined forces with Bi Shiduo and joined the ranks of attacking the city.It was only then that Lu Yongzhi noticed that this group of people was fighting under the banner of "Xuanzhou Observer Qin", and he couldn't help cursing inwardly, Qin Yan, this kid also came to make trouble, but he was angry when he was angry, and the battle should still be fought, but I definitely dare not go out of the city.

To put it bluntly, Lu Yongzhi is not a talent who can divide one side at all. It is okay to ask him to play some clever tricks and plot tricks. The rest of his skills are to make money and rob women.It's not bad to be able to be in Guangling for two or three years like him, how can he stay for a long time?

On the same day, the guard at the south gate of Guangling was persuaded by Bi Shiduo to open the city gate and let Bi Shiduo's men and horses enter the city. Seeing that the situation was over, Lu Yongzhi could only take the gold and silver and fled in a hurry.

After Bi Shiduo entered the city, he killed all of Lu Yongzhi's cronies, and those soldiers took the opportunity to loot them again in the city, grabbing buckets full of them.When Bi Shiduo met Gao Pian, he treated Gao Pian very politely. Zheng Hanzhang wanted Bi Shiduo to simply imprison Gao Pian and let Bi Shiduo occupy Huainan.But Bi Shiduo has promised to let Qin Yan be the envoy after defeating Guangling. Now that Qin Yan has entered the city, Qin Yan himself has a lot of troops in Xuanzhou. In terms of military strength, Bi Shiduo is not his opponent. The city is surrendered.

Qin Yan still imprisoned Gao Pian, appointed himself a Jiedu envoy, and went to the court, saying that Gao Pian was old and fatuous, and asked him to sit in Huainan.
