Ding Baiying bowed to Li Daozong. At this time, he also knew the urgency of the situation, so he took a shortcut and rushed towards Li Junxian's place with the Jin Yiwei beside him. He saw the corpses of many thieves along the way. He thought that this was used to delay Li Junxian. Envious.
"The Xiao family won't just send 2000 people here, they must have other plans."
Li Wenhao sat at the entrance of the valley and thought hard, but now he didn't receive any news from the outside world, and he didn't dare to go out, fearing that the people here would be robbed, so he had to wait so hard.
"Your Highness, there is news that the Xiao family has rebelled."
"Inverted?"
Li Wenhao received the news from Xinying, which is unique in Jinyiwei, and opened it, his brows directly wrinkled into a word of Sichuan.
The Xiao family, a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River, united with the major wealthy families, and held together on the grounds of the imperial court's persecution and unreasonable expropriation of money and food. Based on several cities in Huainan and the Yangtze River, the country was built.
Dingdu, Nanlanling.
The patriarch of the Xiao clan took the title of emperor himself, and made Xiao Yu the king of Lanling.
Claiming to have a land and water army of 20, it blocked the Yangtze River and Li Tang to rule the river.
"Ha ha!"
"Looks like they're at the end of their rope."
Li Wenhao casually put aside the secret letter. These wealthy families in Jiangnan would not fight against Datang if they had a way. Now Li Wenhao is going to force them into the grave. Together, pull up a wave of snobbery.
However, doesn't this just give Li Wenhao a chance to win Jiangnan in one battle?
In the past, Li Wenhao was worried about the lack of evidence, and killing these powerful families without authorization would lead to indiscriminate killing, but now, it is these people who give the opportunity.
"Use your letter eagle to send an order to Li Junxian, let him no matter what, before dark, bring the owl ghost army to me."
"Yes!"
Duan Zhixi led the order to answer the letter, but just a few steps away, another letter eagle landed on his shoulder.
"Your Highness, retreat quickly. The Xiao family intends to lure [-] troops out of Nanlanling and surround us here, intending to trap us in this valley."
"One hundred thousand?"
"It seems that the government of the Tang Dynasty really should be rectified. If there is no city guard to participate, where will the Xiao family go to get an army of [-]?"
……
On the other hand, in the Xiao family's mansion, the Xiao family's palace has not yet started construction at this time, so the family mansion can only be used as the palace. The patriarch of the Xiao family, Xiao is sitting on the throne, and is having a fierce battle with the patriarchs of the other families. discussion.
This so-called Jianguo is nothing more than a grassroots team, nothing more than wanting to preserve its own interests.
"Brother Xiao, I think we should first focus on the tens of thousands of troops marching south from the Tang Dynasty. Only with them can we really feel like a thorn in our back and a thorn in our throat."
"A mere Li Wenhao, no matter how powerful he is, he can stir up such a storm, it's not worth our army to go there."
The patriarch of the Zhao clan said that the reason why he wanted to deal with Li Daozong's army first was also very simple, because Li Daozong was about to hit his house soon.
When Li Daozong breaks the city, the result can be imagined.
I am afraid that there will be no living person in their family other than him, and the wealth accumulated for hundreds of years will also become a fantasy. If he is still a prince at that time, I am afraid that Xiao Ze will be the first to kill him.
"Then, brother Zhao, you take 3 people back to garrison the city, and I will take people to take the Tang prince first. If Li Tang comes to attack in the future, we will also have some bargaining chips in our hands."
"All right!"
The patriarch of the Zhao clan nodded, this was already Xiao Ze's biggest concession to him.
In the evening of that day, two torrents of iron cavalry arrived in front of the valley one after another. The first to arrive was Li Junxian's owl ghost army, while the so-called big beam cavalry led by Xiao Ze came later.
Jiangnan's cavalry sounds like a joke.
"Xiao Ze, can't help it?"
Li Wenhao didn't pay much attention to Xiao Ze's tens of thousands of troops. Among the motley army, some were wearing coarse linen clothes and holding swords, some were wearing city guard armor and holding spears.
Li Wenhao, who is not afraid of even grassland cavalry, would take these chickens and dogs in his eyes?
"It's really you, Li Tang, who bullied me Jiangnan too much. The so-called officials forced the people to rebel. I, Jiangnan, rebelled today. It is a bright and sunny day for our people in Jiangnan."
Xiao Ze gritted his teeth and said, since ancient times, since ancient times, reasoning and characters have been the first to start an army. Look at Cao Mengde, who used to beg Dong for the princes, and made a fake call. Even when his grandfather Li Yuan proclaimed himself emperor, he also erected a memorial archway. There is nothing wrong with this thing. Yes, nothing more than to put a fig leaf on his face.
Li Wenhao stood the spear by his side, took out a purple-gold ribbon in his arms, tied his hair behind his head, and suddenly raised his head and smiled at Xiao Ze, "Xiao Ze, I heard that you don't know the cold seasons in the south of the Yangtze River? "
PS: Today's update has been delivered.
Then friends, pay attention to your health. I have seen several friends say that they have a cold.
Chapter 203
Whoa!
Li Wenhao held up the spear in his hand, and the owl ghost army behind him quickly assumed a charging posture.
Xiao Ze has lived in the south for a long time. When did he see such a mighty and majestic cavalry army?Just like Li Wenhao has never seen a decent navy in the north in his life. In ancient times, the types of troops were really restricted by region.
"I have 1 elite troops under my command, and you rely on this [-] cavalry army, and you still want to kill me here?"
Xiao Ze shook his head disdainfully. If it was a plain area, he would definitely run away without looking back, but look, look, here are hills and mountains.
Let alone [-] cavalry charging, it would be too much to charge [-] cavalry in one wave.
"You don't know what a strong army is!"
Li Wenhao shook his head disdainfully towards Xiao.
I saw that the owl ghost army behind immediately dismounted more than half of them, then picked up the javelins on their backs, fired at the enemy in front, took out the round shield hanging on their thighs, and dismounted in an instant These thousands of cavalry have become well-trained infantry.
"Protect Your Majesty, I'll kill him!"
After the rain of javelins, a man rushed out from the enemy line. This man was wearing a luxurious battle armor, holding a long knife like Qinglong Yanyue knife in his hand, and the blade pointed at Li Wenhao.
"Prince Li Tang, remember the one who beheaded you, King Lanling of Daliang, Xiao Yuanxi."
"Xiao Yuanxi? I thought you were Gao Changgong..."
Li Wenhao curled his lips in disdain, even though he was dressed in blue and didn't even wear armor, what was he afraid of?
Returning to King Lanling...
Even if Gao Changgong is here, can Li Wenhao make a fool of him?
"Everyone, follow me..."
Bang!
Just as Li Wenhao was about to steer the horse and charge out, Xiong Zhan beside him rushed up impatiently, and then...
It was another stick, and even the knife and the man were smashed into two pieces.
"rush!"
Li Wenhao charged with three thousand cavalry, and behind him Li Junxian commanded thousands of dismounted people to form an indestructible infantry phalanx and followed behind Li Wenhao.
In such a narrow terrain, there are indeed great restrictions on cavalry, but if the cavalry is allowed to speed up, that is another matter.
Just like now.
Li Wenhao and Xiong Zhan pierced straight into the enemy's formation like two arrows. Xiao Ze never thought that there are really people in this world who can treat tens of thousands of troops as nothing, and there are really people like the overlord of Chu .
Xiao Ze, who hadn't even taken the position of emperor, felt a little regretful at this moment.
He didn't regret turning against Li Tang, but he regretted that he was the emperor of a country, so why would he join in the fun when he had nothing to do?
It is said that the son of a daughter will not be the emperor, and he has not even decided on the candidate for the crown prince yet.
"Xiao Ze, I don't know if the front of my army has ever made you terrified?"
"Hmph! No matter how poor my Xiao family is, I am still an orthodox Han. Unlike you, Li Tang, who recognizes a thief as your father and has the blood of a barbarian. What qualifications do you, Li Tang, have to hold the power of the world?"
Xiao Ze saw Li Wenhao rushing more and more fiercely, and began to verbally attack the morale of Li Wenhao's subordinates.
The most fundamental reason why Jiangnan people look down on northerners is that after the Jin Dynasty got dressed up and went south, everyone thought that the Han people in the north were not orthodox, and everyone thought that Jiangnan was still the place where the Han family flourished.
But after these dynasties, Jiangnan has not produced a Chu overlord who can calm the world.
Might be really out of luck.
"You still have the nerve to say it. At the beginning of Lu Chen in the Central Plains, you and other aristocratic families occupied high positions. You didn't want to serve the court, comfort the people, and calm the world. Instead, you encouraged the court to move south. How are you different from that traitor?"
"If you didn't wait, why would the world be in such chaos today? The land of the Central Plains is ten rooms and nine empty spaces"
"This world has been in chaos for hundreds of years, and it is inextricably linked with you moths who don't want to repay you. Today, this has become the talk of your self-proclaimed magnanimity. It is really a big joke in the world."
"Xiao Ze, let me put my words aside today. Since I, Li Wenhao, have gone to the south of the Yangtze River, none of the wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River can survive alone. They have to bow their heads or behead them. You and I are immortal, so let's fight!"
Hearing Li Wenhao's words, Xiao Ze felt terrified. In the final analysis, this misty life in the south of the Yangtze River has wiped out his blood, and he has been addicted to the richness of fireworks, so there is no ambition to compete for world hegemony.
Since ancient times, Jiangnan has been a land of wealth and wealth, with the world's largest granary, and the natural danger of the Yangtze River. It is not an exaggeration to call it a land of dragon prosperity.
But looking at China for thousands of years, apart from Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, only Zhu Yuanzhang came out later.
In the final analysis, this kind of luxurious life is too exhausting.
If you don’t believe me, look at the banks of the Qinhuai River and the Dongting Painted Boats. Isn’t that one of the best Hero Tombs?
"This kid is so brave?"
Xiao Ze was in the distance, watching Li Wenhao open and close on the battlefield, as if he had entered the land of no one, and he had lost the courage to stay here.
In his mind, even if he was defeated in the end, Li Tang could somehow keep him alive like a rich dog, but that was after he surrendered in defeat. If he died now, it would be in vain.
And what made him feel even more chilling was the ghost army who dismounted and fought on foot.
They are like that machine without emotion.
The people in the first row held a horizontal knife in one hand and a shield in the other, while the people in the back row held spears, forming a hedgehog-like army formation, rolling towards them little by little.
Although the speed is not as fast as the cavalry, but the victory is steady. Every step forward, they will stick to where they are, and then swing their knives, shields, and guns, and move forward again.
"Report! Your Majesty, King Qu'a was defeated, King Qu'a was destroyed, King Qu'a's family was killed, and the 3 people brought by King Qu'a were ambushed by Li Daozong, and all of them died in battle. In Ah’s Urn City.”
"what!"
Xiao Ze almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.
3 people, a full 3 people, and they were all dead after only one day.
And Li Daozong was so ruthless that he lured them into the Wengcheng and shot them all without leaving a single one alive.
"Brother Zhao, you died so miserable!"
