The strongest emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Chapter 853
"Your Majesty, just now I led the troops to Suoyang City, and I was going to meet Su Baotong for a while. But I didn't expect that the gates of Suoyang City are now wide open, and there is not even a Xiliang soldier on the city wall." Xue Rengui said to Li Zhi said.

"The gates of Suoyang City are so wide open, which song did Su Baotong sing? Could it be that he is going to imitate Zhuge Liang and play an empty city plan with us?" Li Zhi said.

"Your Majesty, I feel that Su Baotong is not trying to plan the city. He is planning to lure the Emperor into the city. If I guess correctly, there must be spies from the Xiliang soldiers lurking in the dream."

"It's even possible that after our army enters the city, Su Baotong will lead his troops to fight back. I'm afraid the emperor will be trapped in Suoyang City." Xu Mao said openly.

"Now we have a hundred red cannons and tens of thousands of hand grenades. Are you afraid that Su Baotong will not be able to complete the encirclement?" Cheng Yaojin said disdainfully.

"Cheng Yaojin is right. Today is no longer the time when Sanjiangyuehucheng. Now that we have these advanced weapons in our hands, we are not afraid of him besieging the city."

"However, if someone destroys the city, it's something worth worrying about." Yu Chigong said.

"Why don't we just follow Li Tai's way and send people into Suoyang City to make sure that he doesn't leave behind. Then we'll see what else he can do." Cheng Yaojin said.

"Your Majesty, I think our army can directly cross Shuyangcheng, and then go directly to Hanjiang Pass. Set up camp outside Hanjiang Pass, so that we won't be afraid of what Su Baotong will do." Xue Xiantu said.

"It's absolutely impossible. If this is the case, I'm afraid our army will be attacked by the enemy. When Su Baotong leads his troops back to Fangsuoyang City, then I will do what I want." Xu Mao said openly.

"Your Majesty, I think what Lu Guogong said is very reasonable. Let me send two troops into Suoyang City first, and let him go to Suoyang City first." Xue Rengui said to Li Zhi.

"Since Brother Xue has decided, let's do it according to Brother Xue's method." Li Zhi nodded and said.

Seeing that Li Zhi agreed, Xue Rengui said to Zhou Qing and Xue Xiantu: "You two each bring 1 people into Suoyang City. Be sure to clean up Suoyang City before sunset tomorrow."

"Marshal, don't worry, I'll take care of it at the end. Make sure that the emperor and Marshal will stay in Suoyang City before sunset tomorrow." Zhou Qing and Xue Xiantu got up and said.

……

"Brothers, Suoyang City is ahead. From now on, we will carry out a carpet search of Suoyang City. Don't let go of any room or any place where people can hide." Zhou Qing ordered.

Immediately, [-] Tang troops entered Suoyang City and carried out a brutal massacre in Suoyang City.All of a sudden, Suoyang City was turned upside down.

Su Baotong, who was thirty miles outside Luoyang city, naturally also received the news.He was so angry that he gritted his teeth, stomped his feet and beat his chest.

"Damn the barbarians of the Tang Dynasty, they are so inhumane. Not only did they slaughter the soldiers and civilians in Sanguan, but they also slaughtered the people in Lianyang City." Su Baotong roared.

Su Baotong never expected that Tang Jun would do things so decisively.Originally, Su Baotong believed that Jiepai Pass, Jinxia Pass, and Jietian Pass had all resisted tenaciously.

That's why the Tang army massacred the city, but Suoyang City didn't make any resistance.It stands to reason that the Tang army had no reason to massacre the city.But now it is not as he expected.

"The Generalissimo doesn't need to be angry. Since ancient times, Daoyi will be successful, as long as he can trap the emperor of the Tang Dynasty in Suoyang City. It doesn't matter if those people died."

"Moreover, this incident will arouse the hatred of the people of Xiliang towards the Tang army, and completely eliminate the voices of opposition in the country. So the general thinks this is a good thing." He Zongxian said to Su Baotong.

"It's useless to talk about anything else now. I can only wait for the Tang army to enter the city, and I will lead troops to besiege Suoyang City. To avenge the fathers and villagers of Suoyang City." Su Baotong said helplessly.

"It is estimated that the Tang army will enter the city tomorrow afternoon, but the wood needed by our army has not yet been felled. It may affect the Marshal's plan." He Zongxian said.

"What are you eating? The commander-in-chief has repeatedly emphasized that it must be completed before sunset today. Why are you still procrastinating?" Su Baotong said angrily.

"Reporting to Marshal, it's not that the last general's supervision is not effective, but that the number required by the Marshal is too large. There is some shortage of manpower." The general in charge of cutting down trees said to Su Baotong.

"Marshal, why don't you send two more troops to cut down enough wood as soon as possible. After all, it's time to wait." Tie Ban Taoist said.

This Su Bao is accompanied by a monk under his command, Monk Feibo and Taoist Tieban.Although these two are dressed as monks, they are both ruthless and merciless.

"Since this is the case, send another 2 troops to cut down trees. You must be well prepared before tomorrow's dark. Otherwise, I will behead you." Su Baotong nodded and said.

……

The Tang army started killing in Suoyang City, and it was naturally impossible for the common people to be stabbed with their heads stretched out.Rebellion is also indispensable.

But how can these people who have no power to restrain the chickens be the opponents of these wolves and tigers of the Tang army.In the end, he had no choice but to abandon his family and business and go to Hanjiang Pass.

Even so, the Tang army spent two days and one night in Suoyang City, massacring [-] Xiliang people.In the end, the entire Suoyang City was cleaned up.

Now that Suoyang City has been cleaned up, Xue Rengui protected Li Zhi and entered Suoyang City.However, for the sake of safety, Xue Rengui ordered people to transport fifty red cannons to the city wall.

At the same time, Xue Rengui was also planning to send scouts to investigate within tens of miles of Suoyang City.This is to ensure that there are no ambushes near Suoyang City.

But a wise man must have one thing to worry about, and Xue Rengui has not had time to send out scouts.Su Baotong started to do it here.

Su Baotong led the Xiliang soldiers hidden in the surroundings towards Suoyang City through the night.It only took one night to complete the siege of Suoyang City.

But since Su Baotong knew about the red cannon, he naturally didn't dare to set up a joint camp under the city.So Su Baotong lined up a battalion ten miles away from Suoyang City.

Millions of Xiliang soldiers surrounded Suoyang city overnight.But Xue Rengui in the city knew nothing about it.

Early the next morning, before Xue Rengui had time to send scouts, Zhou Qing, who was in charge of guarding the city wall last night, came to report.It is said that the Xiliang Army is now forming a company battalion ten miles away from Suoyang City.From a distance, the number of people is no less than one million.

Xue Rengui couldn't help but gasped, so he hurriedly led people to the city wall to check.Standing on the city wall, you can see the Xiliang soldiers camp in the distance.

"Zhou Qing, what are you doing to eat? You've let someone set up a camp under your nose. You won't find out until dawn." Xue Rengui roared to Zhou Qing.

"Marshal, it's the first month of the month. At night, you can't see your fingers, and the other party has set up a coalition camp ten miles away. That's why the general didn't find out." Zhou Qing lowered his head and said to Xue Rengui.
