Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 398

In mid-April, the peonies in Luoyang are in full bloom.

As the gentle wind blows, Yao, Huang, Wei and Zi bloom one after another. The flowers are like a brocade, and the fragrance fills Luocheng.The green grass is full of weeping willows in the slanting sun, and the Luoshui is more dense and sparkling, which is more like a paradise on earth.

Zhao Ji's face, which had been looking serious and gloomy for half a year, also showed a rare joy.The eunuchs and maids in the court all felt happy when they saw it, at least this would prevent the emperor from being furious at them.As for the reason, they all understood it in their hearts.It's no wonder that the court's actions are gratifying.

Zhao Ji is really happy today.First of all, Tongguan Youbao, but the money and food from Fujian have already arrived in Cangzhou.In this way, Zhao Ji's heart became brisk.Tong Guan then played Hu Yanqing, the commander of the Ping Navy who had made great contributions in protecting the ship. He wanted to keep it for his own use, and use Cangzhou as the base to prepare a navy to prevent Liangshan pirates from raiding the sea.Zhao Ji agreed, and with a swipe of his pen, he called out the commanding officer of the Cangzhou Navy in Yanqing.It can be said that the latter has been promoted to three levels in a row.

Secondly, money and food from Sichuan and Shu were also imported into Guanzhong via Hanzhong and Chencang, and the financial burden on the imperial court was suddenly reduced.Although these money and food are far lower than the amount of wealth tax in previous years, they can also solve the urgent need.

And thanks to Tokyo's several expeditions to Liangshan, the loss of soldiers and generals left the huge capital blank, and the loss of so many soldiers and horses also saved the Zhao and Song courts money.Of course, the so-called pension will be put aside.

In the end, the Western Army's battle against the northern and southern rebels went smoothly. Whether it was Tian Hu or Wang Qing, they were all defeated in front of the Western Army.

He has already received a letter from Tan Zhen, bluntly saying that the success of the Hedong matter is imminent.Knowing the way of teachers and employing soldiers, the Western Army has a strong front, and within half a month, they have overcome the state capitals of Jinzhou and Fenzhou, and the Tianhu bandit army has retreated into Weisheng Prefecture.The traffic between Jiangzhou and Taiyuan is no longer hindered, and it is called Zhao Jilongyan Dayue.

Tan Zhen said again, the North Road suppressed the rebellion and the West Army won all the way, the losses were slight, the soldiers were excited, and the morale was high, and Tian Ni would be wiped out soon.

So Zhao Ji has a big heart.Tan Zhen was promoted to the Privy Council and Deputy Capital on the original official.Taking him as the peace envoy of Hedong, he commanded five thousand horses from the imperial battalion, and went to the front of the Western Army to supervise the battle; he also rewarded the generals and soldiers with silver.Although this Tianhu is not a land thief, he is also the last of the four major bandits. However, he can be destroyed. For Zhao Ji at this moment, and for the Song Dynasty at this time, it is like rain from a long drought, and a good medicine to relieve suffering.

"Come here, declare my will. Officials above the fourth rank in the court will give a feast to Guiren Garden." The latter is named after Guiren Square. Mu, there are peaches and plums in the south.It is not easy to occupy one garden in one square.

In fact, his first generation master was Niu Sengru in the former Tang Dynasty, who was one of the protagonists who stirred up the famous Niu Li party struggle.

There are 120 squares in Luoyang City, and this Guiren Garden can monopolize one square. Niu Sengru is really awesome.With the founding of the Zhao and Song Dynasties, Luoyang, as an important piece of the puzzle on the political map of the Song Dynasty, glowed with new vitality.A large number of veterans and ministers lived here for the elderly, and the abandoned gardens of the Tang Dynasty have changed their colors and restored their former glory.

For example: Fuzheng Park, Huanxi, Lake Garden, Miao Shuai Garden, Zhao Hanwang Garden, Dazi Temple, etc., also like Guiren Garden.

Li Qingzhao's father became famous all over the world for his "Luoyang Famous Garden". "Festivals in the world are about cold food, and Luoyang is the most famous garden in the world." The famous gardens in Luoyang City face each other, with lush forests covering the sky, flowers covering the ground, and winding paths leading to secluded areas.It is indeed the beauty of enjoying peace and happiness, but as Li Gefei said: Is it okay to let go of one's own selfishness and forget about the governance of the world? If you want to retreat and enjoy this happiness, is it okay?The end of the Tang Dynasty is over.

It's just that Li Gefei's words have long been unheard in Luoyang City. Who told him to make a good son-in-law?Moreover, there are many members of the Li family in Zhangqiu who work in the puppet Qi, and they hate the court.

Besides, Tian Bao, Tian Biao and others were defeated in a row. Together with Bian Xiang, Niu Wenzhong and others, they led the defeated army soldiers. Tiger, crying about the loss of the teacher and the land.But before he could take a breath, another urgent report was sent by Hu Jiashan guard Dong Cheng.

This Dong Cheng is a general under Niu Wenzhong's command. He is six feet long and has extraordinary physical strength.

And Hujiashan is the gateway to the West Road of Weisheng Prefecture. Niu Wenzhong was guarding this place himself, but he led troops to Hetianbiao to resist the conquest of the Western Army, so it was guarded by Dong Cheng.

The territory of Weisheng Prefecture is not large, with Wu Township in the north, Qinyuan in the south, and Mianshang County in the southwest is the least important thing. There are Huoshan and Jieshan in front of it, and there is only an exit in the northwest.

The so-called Hujia Mountain is not only the name of a mountain, but also the name of a pass. "Shui Jing·Fen Water Notes": "Houjia water flows from Hujia Mountain in Qi County. There is a long slope, which is called Hujialing. It is the person who Yuehoujia and long drive are called in Liu Xin's "Suichu Fu". Houjia is the name of the place. , is Hu Jia, which can also be said to be Shixing Pass, one of the four passes of Shangdang.

Surrounded by high mountains, this place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it is not convenient because of the vastness of the flat river.

The meteor reports the horse, and the feather book snow flakes also seem to report.Because the Western Army's offensive was very tight, and now they had gone straight to Hujia Mountain, Dong Cheng was guarding the pass, but he was still unable to lift his head due to the stone cannons and arrow crossbows of the Western Army.

Tian Hu was shocked when he heard the news. The situation was lost so quickly that he was at a loss.The civil and military officials at hand discussed that the surrender of the war was uncertain, and there were even some people who wanted to go north to surrender to Liao.With the Western Army gaining power, some people who were forced to surrender to Tian Hu earlier had new ideas.

Tian Hu was furious when he heard the words, and he dismissed all the officials, leaving only a group of confidants to discuss.

Right Prime Minister Bian Xiangqi said: "The Western Army is really powerful, but our army is not easy. This Weisheng Prefecture is surrounded by thousands of mountains. The food and grass can be used for a year. There are still [-] soldiers in the city; there is Wuxiang in the north and Wuxiang in the south. There are two counties in Qinyuan, and there are tens of thousands of people; after that, there is Longde Mansion, the Huguan is in my hands, and the city is strong, so what can the Western Army do? There is enough food and grass, and we can still defend."

Obviously, Bian Xiang didn't know what Tian Hu was planning.In fact, even Tian Biao, Tian Bao, Niu Wenzhong, etc. did not know, they could only feel that the latter seemed to stick to Weisheng Prefecture through Tian Hu's order.That is to say, Fan Quan, who has always stayed in Weisheng State, has something in mind.When he saw the Jin army's repeated defeats and the Song army's strength, he was already timid and wanted to find a way out for himself.Now that Tian Hu told him the details of the incident, his thoughts changed again.Although he deeply hates why this credit was not done by himself, he still has to hold his nose and flatter Uncle Guo in front of Tian Hu.

Seeing Tian Hu at this moment, he was very proud to tell his future plans in front of his confidants. Seeing the joy of the Tian family brothers, Niu Wenzhong, Bian Xiang, Li Tianxi and others, he still had to suppress his jealousy, and said: "It's good to be called Da Wangming!" See. Uncle Wu Guo’s words are naturally wonderful, but it’s a pity that all the heroes in our army have left the east of the river, and they are sparsely populated in Hebei. Prestige..., there will be a big difference in the future."

Everyone knows how to nitpick.Fan Quan's ability is to make this kind of behavior serious.

Tian Hu nodded again and again, "What the head of the country said is very true. If I was driven away by the Western Army and fled to Hebei like a bereaved dog, I would convince the heroes of the Northland. I will do a fight so that everyone in the world will know the heroism of the Hedong hero. .If you kill others, you will be afraid in your dreams. This is how you have some tolerance. Don’t make everyone in the world look at us like nothing.”

A group of reckless men who were all rude, smelled the bravery in Tian Hu's words, and cheered in unison.Immediately effective for everyone.

Tian Hu saw that the morale of his confidants was revived, and they were all single-minded, willing to join him in the fight, and he was also happy.He boasted: "There are thousands of mountains in Weisheng Prefecture. We are not from this place. How can we know the location? When we earn money from the Western Army, we will be famous."

"Then Hebei can be well arranged later." Wu Li sent people back with two pieces of news, one of which was known to Fan Quan, but the other was not known to him.Now hearing that Wu Li not only obtained the defense map of the two roads of Hebei from Liangshanbo, but also came up with such a wonderful method, that heart and soul will be swallowed up by jealousy.

But I can only congratulate him with Tian Hu's confidants, congratulate Tian Hu for his good luck and prosperity, and his death is auspicious.Survive a catastrophe now, and there will be blessings in the future.

The next day, Tian Hu stayed in Weisheng Prefecture with Taiwei Fang Xuedu, and personally led Tian Bao, Tian Biao, Bian Xiang, Li Tianxi, Niu Wenzhong, Qiao Daoqing, Ma Ling and other important generals, dozens of lieutenants, and [-] soldiers to Hujia Mountain. Meet the enemy.

It's not easy for Dong Cheng to look forward to the reinforcements, but Tian Hu leads them personally, and he doesn't know how grateful he is.Seeing Tian Hu crying loudly.

That Li Tianxi was named Minister of the Ministry of War under Tian Hu's command, but in fact he didn't know a lot of characters, he was a man in the green forest like Niu Wenzhong.It's just that it was a bit late when he joined Tian Hu. Hugh said that the Taiwei didn't have a share, and even the privy envoy didn't get it.He had long planned to show his fame before going into battle. Seeing Dong Cheng crying, even though Tian Biao and Tian Bao were repeatedly defeated, knowing that the Western Army was fighting different battles, and not seeing it with their own eyes, they still underestimated it. , Now I am very disdainful.

He immediately spoke and said, "Your Majesty, I would like to send troops to meet with the Western Army."

Tian Hu was also dissatisfied with Dong Cheng's crying like this. How can a hero like a man bleed but not cry, and act like a daughter?At present, at Li Tianxi's request, he ordered five thousand soldiers and horses, with Ma Ling as his assistant, ordered ten generals, and went to the Western Army to call for battle.And he will also watch Li Tianxi.

Dong Cheng looked at Li Tianxi like an idiot with both eyes, and urged Tian Hu not to do it, making Tian Hu feel very upset, so he yelled and retreated. "You talk a lot. Saying such despondent words will disturb the morale of my army and destroy my own prestige."

Such a large army entered the pass of Hujia Mountain from the back of the mountain. When they reached the front of the mountain, they could hear the sound of stone cannon bombardment and the miserable screams of soldiers from a distance.

When a group of people arrived at the Qianshan Pass, Li Tianxi's expression changed drastically, and Tian Hu's mouth opened wide afterward.In front of the formation of the Western Army, there are large shields densely covered like a city wall, with swords, guns and iron axes lined up, and spears and halberds lined up.Like a wall of iron and steel.

There are thirty cannons in front of the formation; when the drums sound, all the cannons are fired.Numerous large stones cover the sky and block out the sun, carrying huge kinetic energy and potential energy, whistling in the wind, and the majesty is impressive.

Every stone hit the stone-built city wall at the Qianshan Pass, and the vibration could be felt visibly. The Guannei building was hit by a cannon and immediately collapsed, with mud flying everywhere and sawdust flying. Unfortunately, people were hit and turned into meat sauce!

What kind of warriors are there to fight with?
With such flying stones, Li Tianxi dared not go out even through the gate, nor could he go out.He stood still for a while, and when he turned around, his face was full of shame, and he knelt down to plead guilty to Tian Hu.

Tian Hu is also sitting on wax.For such a battle, even if he brought all the soldiers and horses from Wuxiang and Qinyuan over, it would be of no avail.

"Masters, how should we deal with the current situation?"
