Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

"These are all mine...Of course, they are also ours!" Chen Ying smiled slightly and told Guo Luo, "Hurry up and count and see how much money there is!"

Guo Luo excitedly said: "I understand, humble!"

After a day and night of counting statistics, the figures came out.There are a total of 25 taels of silver, 13 taels of gold, 600 catties of brass, and more than [-] pearls. In addition, there are countless valuable things such as silk, jade, porcelain, and mahogany furniture.

Chen Ying rushed to Guo Luo and said, "Hurry up and transport these belongings to Changqing forest, don't stop for a moment!"

Guo Luo expressed his understanding.

Guo Luo collected the carts in Xingyang City. Of course, Guo Luo was also very smart. He didn't transport these belongings directly out of Xingyang. After all, it would take hundreds of carts to transport these riches. It is absolutely very difficult to conceal them of.

Although the Zheng family had suffered heavy losses, the Zheng family could not do anything to Chen Ying now, but once the trouble came in front of the Crown Princess Zheng Guanyin, Chen Ying explained for a while.

Chen Ying was afraid of trouble, so when Guo Luo transported his belongings, he put two big boxes underneath, spread straw or reed mats on top of the big boxes, and put the mutilated corpses on top of them. These carts transporting corpses, Slowly leaving Xingyang City, but no one dared to approach the cart containing the "corpse".

……

Xingyang was defeated, Liu Jintang was killed in battle, Liu Xiyao committed suicide, and when the news that nearly 2 troops under his command had been wiped out reached Dou Jiande's hands, Dou Jiande's hands trembled involuntarily, and he overturned the boiling tea until the tea soup scalded him. Awow yelled.

After a while, Dou Jiande forced himself to calm down, rushed to the sand table, looked at the sand table, gasping for air, not knowing whether Dou Jiande was hot or frightened.

He is not afraid of losing Xingyang, and the loss of [-] troops is not fatal. The most troublesome thing is how he will tell Liu Heita about this.With Liu Heitai's protective nature, once he learns that Chen Ying killed his nephew and cousin, Liu Heitai may go crazy immediately.

Thinking of this, Dou Jiande's temples throbbed, his blood pressure soared, his breathing became heavier and heavier, his teeth became more and more itchy, and his eyes became more and more red. He really wanted to chop Chen Ying with a knife.

At this time, another news came.This news is definitely bad news for Dou Jiande.

Because Li Jiancheng came to Hedong.

PS: I feel a little unwell. I have been fighting too hard recently, and my body is a bit overwhelmed. Let's take a break first!

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"Li Jiancheng has come to Hedong!" For Dou Jiande, this is absolutely bad news that couldn't be worse.Even if Li Jiancheng led the Xue Wanche Division of the Jingzhou Army and the Yang Wen Division of the Qingzhou Army, the two cadres together only had more than 1 troops, but they put great pressure on Dou Jiande.

If in later generations, if you want to say who is better between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin brothers, nine out of ten people will say that Li Shimin is better without hesitation. However, in the eyes of Dou Jiande, ten Li Shimin can't compare with one Li Jiancheng.Historians commented that Li Jiancheng was as calm as still water; Li Shimin was as fierce as fire.

Li Shimin, who was as anxious as fire, lost one to Xueju, two to Li Mi, three to Song Jingang, and four to Liu Heita in the military.According to historical records, when Li Shimin first fought against Xue Ju, Li Shimin suffered from malaria and was sick in the barracks. He entrusted the military power to Liu Wenjing and Yin Kaishan, and asked them not to send troops easily. But the two did not obey their orders and sent troops privately. As a result, they were attacked by Xue Ju in Qianshuiyuan and were defeated. The death rate of the soldiers was as high as five or six out of ten, and many generals were captured.Li Shimin had to lead the remnant soldiers back to Chang'an, causing "turmoil in the capital" (the beginning of this book)

In this big defeat, Li Shimin, no matter whether he was sick or not, the responsibility for the defeat of the arrogant soldiers cannot be shirked.Besides, with Li Shimin's strict rule of the army, and Liu Wenjing serving as his deputy for a long time, is there any reason for disobeying the general's order and sending troops without authorization?Moreover, in this battle, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Hou Junji, Duan Zhixuan and other key members of Li Shimin's direct lineage all participated. With their loyalty to Li Shimin, without Li Shimin's approval, Liu Wenjing and Yin Kaishan would not be able to transfer a single soldier. move.

Li Shimin's much-vaunted defeat of Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang by Hedong Dao was actually the result of Gaozu Li Yuan's personal conquest.At that time, Li Shimin not only had no achievements, but also lost the battle, and was removed from the post of Taiwei.Li Shimin sent his troops out to loot and slaughter the city, which made him notorious.When suppressing Liu Heita's rebels in Hebei and Shandong, he was almost captured alive by Liu Heita's rebels.

In the end, the prince Li Jiancheng's kindness and power went hand in hand. The prince "knowledges the release of the prisoners, releases their families, comforts them and sends them away, and the hearts of the people are determined."In one fell swoop, the rebel forces in Shandong and Hebei have been suppressed for many years.In the seventh year of Wude, Emperor Gaozu ordered Li Jiancheng to go out of Qinzhou, and Li Shimin to go out of Bingzhou to attack the Turks.As a result, Li Jiancheng won a big victory, while Li Shimin was defeated by the Turks and lost Bingzhou. Zhang Jin died in battle, was scolded by Gaozu, and Li Yuanji replaced Li Shimin's Shandaoxingtai.

Many people don't understand the historical facts, and wantonly boast that "Qin King Li Shimin conquered the Tang Dynasty..." In fact, there are historical materials to prove that half of the Tang Dynasty was brought down by Zhaojun Wang Li Xiaogong, and Li Xiaogong swept the south of the Yangtze River like a blanket.Shandong was surrendered by Li Shentong, and Lingzhou and Hexi Nineteen Prefectures were brought down by Li Daozong.After careful calculation, apart from the contradictions and loopholes in the Battle of Mangshan and the Battle of Hulaoguan, Li Shimin's military achievements can be counted on the fingers.However, after the Xuanwumen Incident, the military genius Zhaojun Wang Li Xiaogong was also put under house arrest by Li Shimin.

Dou Jiande certainly didn't know the whitewashing of Li Shimin in later history books, but he knew that Li Jiancheng of Tang Dynasty was very powerful. Charged into the battle, took the lead in battle and made outstanding achievements.Li Jiancheng took the lead in breaking through Chang'an, laying the military foundation for the Tang capital to command the world.Historian He Mufeng said: "As the eldest son of Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng made outstanding contributions when the Tang Empire was not established. It can be said that if Li Yuan had not completed the construction, it would be difficult to become the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. That is to say, only with Li Jiancheng The later Tang Empire."

Dou Jiande asked with a gloomy face, "Where is Li Jiancheng now?"

Ling Jing thought for a while and said, "Li Jiancheng crossed the Yellow River in Yuqiang, Longmen, and now he has arrived at Baibi. However, his soldiers did not stop. Instead, he unexpectedly turned to the north. After passing through Jiangzhou, he did not seem to stop, and continued to go north. Look at the posture, he wants to be stationed in Jinzhou (Linfen today)!"

Dou Jiande stared at the sand table, looked at the topography of Jinzhou and murmured, "Do you think Li Jiancheng will give up the land of three states in the south of Jinzhou?"

"It's absolutely impossible!" Ling Jing shook his head and said, "At this moment, Li Jiancheng has no choice at all. He can only win. He can't afford to lose. Once he loses, his position as the crown prince will be shaken!"

"Yeah, Li Jiancheng can't afford to be defeated! But I can't afford to be defeated either!" Dou Jiande tapped the sand table and pointed at the city of Jinzhou: "I have already guessed Li Jiancheng's purpose. Jinnan all the way to the north, kill to Hebei!"

The Taihang Mountains stretch for thousands of miles, with hundreds of mountains interconnected, thousands of peaks towering, and thousands of ravines deep.At the same time, Shanxi and Hebei were divided into two worlds. However, the ancient Chinese ancestors successively opened up Xing paths in the thousands of miles of Taihang Mountains to connect the east and the west. The most famous ones are Jundu Xing, Puyin Xing, Feihu Xing, Jingxing, and Fu. Kouxing, Baixing, Taihangxing, Zhiguanxing, etc., known as Taihang Baxing in ancient times, are the eight throat passages through which the three provinces of Shanxi, Hebei and Henan crossed Taihang Mountain in ancient times. They are important military passes on the border of the three provinces.

Ling Jing exclaimed, "Li Jiancheng wants to take Baixing?"

"It's possible!" Dou Jiande said with deep eyes, "Nowadays Hebei is empty, even if Li Jiancheng leads a mere [-] troops, he can turn Hebei upside down."

Ling Jing thought for a while and said: "That's what he said, but he thought that Baixing is not easy. Baixing has three thousand guards. It is not easy to defeat Li Jiancheng, but it is also very difficult for Li Jiancheng to break through Baixing."

Dou Jiande smiled slightly and said, "As the enemy changes, so do we. Don't they want to attack Hebei? Then we will snatch Li Yuan's lair!"

……

In Xingyang, on the third day after Chen Ying occupied Xingyang City, a group of about three or four hundred cavalry Xia Jun cavalry appeared outside Xingyang City. Without Chen Ying's order, Luo Shixin and Zhang Shigui respectively led the hooked and spear cavalry to outflank the city, but the opponent But he retreated quickly, but he didn't run away. After running a certain distance, he stopped on his horse and waited. As soon as Luo Shixin and Zhang Shigui's troops walked back, they chased after him again.

The scouts of the Xia army cavalry are light cavalry. If they fight a decisive battle with the hooked and sickle lancers, the same number of hooked and sickle lancers can torture them to death. It is a pity that these Xia army cavalry are very smart. They played with Chen Ying The trick of "the enemy advances and we retreat, and the enemy retreats and we harass" does not mean to fight recklessly with the cavalry of the Tang army.Of course, this is mainly because the number of Xia Army cavalry is too small, and the Tang Army cavalry in Xingyang City has more than 6000 people, which is twenty or thirty times their Xia Army cavalry.

It was dusk, Luo Shixin rode back to the city, and Zhang Shigui had already set up an ambush ten miles away from the city, but this time the cavalry of the Xia army did not come after him, making the ambush seem like nothing. As soon as night fell, Luo Shixin and Zhang Shigui entered the city together, and Chen Ying reported the situation of the battle.

Chen Yingdao: "The enemy has become cautious."

Luo Shixin said angrily: "They're all a bunch of cowards, they're so useless!"

"No!" Chen Ying shook his head and said, "It is the most correct way for them not to confront our Sickle Lancers. They are not looking for opportunities with us at the moment, they just want to find out where we are going. Dou Jiande must be very worried at this time. Let us now abandon Xingyang and cross the Yellow River to the north."

"What does the general mean?" Zhang Shigui asked: "We don't need to pay attention to them?"

"No!" Chen Yingdao: "Since Dou Jiande is so worried, you might as well scare him! At dawn tomorrow, the whole army will disperse, search for warships everywhere, cut down wood to build rafts, and make a posture that they are ready to cross the Yellow River at any time. Tomorrow three o'clock will be assembled immediately, all the way to the west, to kill Luoyang!"

When Luo Shixin and Zhang Shigui came out of the Xingyang government office where Chen Ying stayed, it was already close to Zishi.Luo Shixin and Zhang Shigui separated, one of them was stationed in the south city of Xingyang, and the other was stationed outside the north city.

Just when Luo Shixin led the cavalry guards and was about to pass through the northern city, he suddenly heard mournful cries from a private house on the side of the street, and a young woman who was not too old shouted: "My lady, Ladies, don't be too hard on yourself, come quickly, help me!"

When Luo Shixin heard this, he identified the direction and ran away following the sound, followed by Luo Shixin's personal guards, and came to an inconspicuous courtyard. Luo Shixin pointed at the door, raised his foot and hit it.

The door panel, which was nearly two fingers thick, couldn't bear Luo Shixin's heavy foot at all, and the door panel cracked at the sound.

Through the flickering candlelight, Luo Shixin saw a white silk hanging from the beam of the room. A woman in a green skirt wrapped her neck in the white silk. An inexplicably fourteen or fifteen-year-old maid-like woman was holding the woman legs, howling.

Luo Shixin broke into the door suddenly, frightened the servant girl and fell to the ground, rolled her eyes and passed out.

Luo Shixin didn't have time to believe it carefully, so he swiped his gun.The sharp spear blade cut off the white silk without hesitation, and the woman who lost the restraint of the white silk fell from the air.

Luo Shixin hurriedly put his arms around the woman in Ruqun to prevent her from falling from the beam and hurting the ground. When the guards saw that there was only one maid and one servant in the house, they gave Luo Shixin a look that any man could understand and left the house one after another.

Looking at the two unconscious women, Luo Shixin, a man who had slept on the mountain of corpses, bathed in blood, and could not let him blink because of his army, felt awkward at this moment.

Looking at the shocking strangle marks on the woman's neck, Luo Shixin couldn't help but look at the woman's face, and was fascinated by it for a while.It's not that Luo Shixin has never seen beautiful women, like Li Daozhen, Li Xiuning, including Hongxiu, Lvzhu, even Gao Wenjin and Xu Erniang, they all look good.

Li Xiuning is graceful and luxurious, and her beauty is so gorgeous that people dare not look directly at her.Li Daozhen is heroic and valiant, Xu Erniang's little family is Biyu, sisters Hongxiu and Lvzhu are like porcelain dolls.As for Laner, she is the little girl next door.However, among the women Luo Shixin had seen, none of them could be compared with the woman in his arms.

I don't know how long it took before the little girl woke up slowly. She looked at Luo Shixin and asked timidly, "General, are you the general of Datang?"

This call finally pulled Luo Shixin out of his fantasy, Luo Shixin couldn't help but blushed, nodded and said: "I am Luo Shixin, General Xuanwei of the Great Tang Dynasty, what's wrong with your wife, you want to commit suicide?"

The little maid looked at the woman in Luo Shixin's arms and shook her head.Of course it wasn't that she didn't know, but she didn't dare to say it.

Luo Shixin also felt that it was inappropriate for him to hold such a woman. After much deliberation, he finally gently handed the woman to the servant girl.
