Cannon Fodder Collection [Comprehensive]

Speaking of Song Shidao rescued Fu Junyu, but in order not to be humiliated and to reveal more information, Fu Junyu used a unique skill that Fu Cailin learned from the eminent monk in Tianzhu, that is, the turtle's breath method.

After using this method, a person enters a state of suspended animation, but cannot wake up on his own. Except for the eminent monk from Tianzhu, only Fu Cailin can wake her up.

It's just that Fu Cailin is far away in Korea.

So Song Shidao volunteered to escort Fu Junyu to Korea.

It took several months to return, but Song Shidao didn't think it was a big deal. Apart from making up for his regrets, he thought it just allowed him to avoid the disputes of the Song clan, even though when his family was fighting for the world, he It doesn't look too good to leave like this, but Song Shidao has made up his mind to go.

Lin Ning supported his approach and asked his fleet to escort him.

Lin Ning also believed that Song Shidao's temporary departure from the political whirlpool would do more good than harm.She would never force them to sacrifice more for the family, just like she knew that her eldest sister, Song Yuhua, did not like disputes, so she never bothered her with political affairs.What's more, Song Shidao's avoidance of disputes in this way also prevents others from making a fuss about him, and it can also make Lin Ninghui less worried.

Back to the present, the time has come to the spring of the third year of Tianyuan.

Li Tang captured Li Gui, who ruled the Hexi Corridor area, and killed Li Mi who had entered the pass to surrender.

As for why?

It is said that after Li Mi descended to the Tang Dynasty, because he was not taken seriously, he was unwilling to plan to sentence the Tang Dynasty. After the conspiracy was revealed, he was beheaded by the Tang Dynasty.This matter seems to be something that Li Mi can do, but the inside story is not easy to tell.

In any case, the trend of Li Tang's external expansion continues unabated.

Lin Ning, however, knew very well that under such a grand occasion as Li Tang, there was an undercurrent that could not be concealed.The biggest contradiction among them is Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin. As the prince, Li Jiancheng has never been as prestigious as Qin Wang Li Shimin. Many people say that the reason why Li Jiancheng became the prince is because he is the eldest son.

Li Jiancheng couldn't bear it.

Li Shimin can't back down either.

Li Yuan was even more indecisive, and he would make a decision when he couldn't, so that his brothers fought hard.Unlike Lin Ning's Song Que who doesn't care about political affairs, Song Yuhua and Song Shidao are not interested in government affairs, and there are many talents around them, not to mention completely working together, but so far no one has become a pig teammate.

The situation is very good.

At the end of February in the third year of Tianyuan, Wang Shichong's palace supervisor surrendered to Song Dynasty.

On the first day of March, Lin Ning led the army northward.

Wang Shichong knew before that that he was the next target of the Song Army, and he thought he was ready to fight, not to mention that Luoyang was his territory, and he had a solid advantage, so this might be a tug of war.

But he didn't want to know when Song Jun had fought a tug-of-war, and his generals had gradually become alienated from him.

Therefore, when the Song army went north, the guards from all over the Zheng State surrendered without a fight.

In March, General Guo Qing surrendered at Guanzhou, Wei Lu surrendered at Xingyang, Wang Yaohan surrendered at Bianzhou;

In April, Tian Zan surrendered with 25 prefectures, and Shi Derui surrendered with seven prefectures;

At the end of April, Zhang Gongjin surrendered with his subordinate Zhengzhou.

In less than two months, all the counties and counties around Luoyang fell into the hands of the Song army, and Luoyang seemed to be an isolated city.

Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, Wang Shichong came forward to seek peace. The two sides negotiated outside Luoyang City across Luoshui, but the negotiation broke down in the end.

At this time, there were already complaints in Luoyang City. It turned out that Wang Shichong saw that people's hearts were lax and that generals from all walks of life surrendered one after another. In order to control Luoyang, he adopted torture. When he went out to fight, he detained his relatives in the palace as hostages. This kind of behavior would only make Wang Shichong even more disappointed, and the rebellious mood in Luoyang became even higher. peak.

This made Luoyang City fall from the inside.

Lin Ning, who was supposed to be in charge of the Song army to continue the siege, entered Luoyang City openly.

In the palace, Wang Shichong is still struggling with the trapped beasts, and is determined to seek help from Li Tang or Dou Jiande.Once Luoyang falls, either Li Tang or Dou Jiande will be the next target to be attacked by the Song army. Neither of them will be willing to see the Song army be invincible and drive northward.

It's just that whether Song Jun fights back or Song Jun wins, it won't be of much benefit to Wang Shichong himself.If it was the former, Wang Shichong would only be left with Luoyang at that time. Wouldn't it be better for Li Tang or Dou Jiande to take the opportunity to annex him; if it was the latter, then Luoyang would not be left behind.

However, in the case of the former, no matter Song Jun, Li Tang, or Dou Jiande's Xia Jun will be exhausted by then, and he may be able to gain a little respite for himself.In any case, Wang Shichong has no better way, he can only take a slant.

Wang Shichong was about to send envoys out of the city to ask for help, but a clear voice suddenly sounded: "To show my sincerity, I think His Majesty should choose someone who is closer to him."

Wang Shichong: "Who!"

Lin Ningshi suddenly showed his real body and took off his hood: "We haven't seen each other for a few days, and King Zheng has forgotten Gu's voice?"

Wang Shichong was shocked: "How did you get in?"

"Come on! Escort!"

It's a pity that the guards in the hall seemed to be deaf, they didn't move, and even the masters arranged in the dark didn't respond.

Lin Ning exclaimed in a fake way: "You still can't see the situation clearly."

Wang Shichong: "!!"

Wang Shichong finally reacted: "What do you want?"

Lin Ning regretted: "Why don't you keep shouting? I still have to say, 'You screamed and broke your throat, but no one came to save you'."

Wang Shichong: "..."

Lin Ning came back seriously, but didn't talk nonsense with Wang Shichong any more.Soon Wang Shichong was taken down, but Lin Ning did not declare that Luoyang City was broken. After all, she controlled more than half of the gang forces in Luoyang City, and there were many corruptions in the court. It is not difficult to take Luoyang City in one fell swoop. , and there is no need to negotiate peace with Wang Shichong beside Luoshui.

So now that she spends so much time and energy, she naturally has other purposes.

As mentioned earlier, Zhao Deyan, the "magic commander" of the "Evil King" Shi Zhixuan, who ranks second only to the "Empress of Yin" Zhu Yuyan among the eight masters of the Demon Sect, is the favorite minister of East Turkic Jieli Khan and the military advisor of East Turkic.His purpose is to make the Middle-earth as chaotic as possible. It is better to be divided into pieces and fight endlessly. Then he naturally does not want to see a single family dominate.

But the current situation is that the Song army has the meaning of being the only one, not to mention Cihang Jingzhai's assistance, the right way to help, and it is only a matter of time before they rule the world.

Zhao Deyan and East Turk were unwilling to see such a situation, so they changed their strategy and wanted to make Liang Shidu, who was already attached to them, and Liu Wuzhou, as well as Li Tang, who had received their assistance to defeat Guanzhong, turn to Lin Ning. Song Jun led by him.

Liang Shidu and Liu Wuzhou had no objections.

Li Shimin on Li Tang's side strongly objected, thinking that this was drinking poison to quench thirst, but Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng agreed.

Let's not talk about what Li Jiancheng thinks, but let's talk about Li Yuan.

Li Mi once commented on Li Yuan, saying that he was just a womanizer.Although this evaluation is not so objective, it also hits the truth to a certain extent. Li Yuan really has no resistance to beauty.Before him was Yin Defei, Yin Zuwen's daughter, and Bai Qing'er who fled from Xiangyang City to Chang'an, and Li Yuan also coveted Dong Shuni's beauty.

And regardless of Concubine Yin De or Bai Qing'er, they are all members of the Demon Sect.

There are other members of the Demon Sect beside Li Yuan. No matter how the Demon Sect splits, they still prefer to see Li Yuan controlled by them rule the world, rather than Prince Ning, who is supported by Cihang Jingzhai, becoming an empress.

Momen wants to injure the Song army as hard as possible, so the princess Ning will bear the brunt of it.

It's not like they didn't send people to assassinate them before, but all the assassins they sent never returned, so let's see the truth on the battlefield.What's more, for Zhao Deyan of East Turkic, apart from sending some Turkic troops, whether he succeeded in beheading the princess or not, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages for him.

Of course, it is best to behead the princess on the horse.

Lin Ning is actually not too unfamiliar with the tactic of "beating the master to death with random punches".

When she was in Jingling, she was surrounded by the Jianghuai army and the four bandits.

The difference is that there are much more "random punches" this time than last time.

Even Xi Ying, the fourth "Tianjun" among the eight masters of the Demon Sect, came to intervene.

Xi Ying did a lot of evil in his early years, and even killed the wife and children of the "tyrant sword" Yue Shan. Later, he was chased and killed by Song Que, and fled to the Western Regions for many years without daring to show his face.

This time, Xi Ying appeared in Bashu and went to Dashi Temple to find the eminent monk Dade who was his mortal enemy. Unexpectedly, the Dharma had passed away before. In the temple, he would kill all the strangers within a ten-mile radius. The monk had no choice but to abandon the temple and leave in order to avoid harming the innocent villagers nearby.

Xi Ying's comeback was not originally linked by Lin Ning to the current battle situation.

No, it should be said that Lin Ning was not aware of Zhao Deyan's conspiracy at the beginning.

No, strictly speaking, Lin Ning was not so clear about it, only vaguely aware of it, and it was the information sent by Kou Zhong that confirmed her speculation.

Yes, he overheard others plotting again.

This kind of thing is not new, but Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling have highlighted the attribute of always overhearing the plots and schemes of important people, which makes people dissatisfied.After eavesdropping on this information, Kou Zhong quietly sent it to Lin Ning. The relationship between the two of them is still good, especially Song Shidao, who almost became their stepfather and helped rescue their aunt (Fu Junyu). , and wanted to be their step-uncle, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were so moved by such infatuation.

Well--

Furthermore, even if there is no Kou Zhong, there will be Xu Ziling.

After Xu Ziling practiced the formula of longevity, he became pure-hearted and ascetic, but he was moved by Shi Feixuan.

No matter how you look at it, it seems that Lin Ning obtained vital information through his nepotism.Later, Lin Ning also confirmed this information through various secret lines, and then got the news that "Tianjun" Xi Ying was killing people in Bashu.

When Xi Ying was defeated and left the Central Plains, it was said that he violated the taboo in Song Que's "Heavenly Sword" because of the "Heaven" in "Tianjun".Now Song Que only has the role of being more powerful and domineering, but he doesn't want Xi Ying to come back and do evil in Bashu. No matter how you look at it, it looks like he deliberately lured Song Que to the door.

Xi Xiying is really difficult to deal with, and the three major forces in Bashu have nothing to do with him.

Ke Xiying is so confident, it is obvious that he is not alone.

Or there are people from the Demon Sect behind him, or Zhu Yuyan, Shi Zhixuan, or Zhao Deyan, they want to use this to trap Song Que, or even kill Song Que altogether.If Lin Ning could cooperate with Luoyang from afar, the defeat or death of Lin Ning, the princess, would undoubtedly be a huge blow to the Song Army.

Lin Ning pursed his lips.

And just before Lin Ning wanted to do something, Song Que sent a message to make her be careful and at ease.

It seems that the old man also knew that Xi Ying's comeback was deceitful, Lin Ning thought so when he passed Song Que's letter to Song Zhi, and sighed on his face: "If I, Aye, don't show off my power, do you think he is a sick cat?"

Song Zhi: "..."

Lin Ning blinked: "Second uncle, do you think I'm wrong? That sick tiger?"

Song Zhi: "...There is something you say in front of your Aye."

Lin Ning laughed loudly: "Second Uncle, you are confused, I have no seeds."

Song Zhi: "..."

He often has the illusion that his niece is more like a nephew than his nephew, and when he sees her wearing women's clothes, he feels a little awkward, what a pit!

Then again, Lin Ning felt that since she was surrounded by powerful enemies, if she didn't fight back, she would really be regarded as a fish on the cutting board.So after closing the door and catching Wang Shichong, Lin Ning stiffened Li Daitao and got a fake Wang Shichong to pretend that she hadn't broken through Luoyang yet.

He also sent envoys to seek help from Li Yuan and Dou Jiande.

Li Yuan has Dong Shuni on his side, and Wang Shichong's nephew Wang Wan on Dou Jiande's side.

Li Yuan already had intentions here, and after half a month, he sent someone to express his willingness to help.

Dou Jiande's side was much later. Although he knew that he and Wang Shichong were closely related, he still had a strong enemy Li Tang on his side. If he sent troops to assist Wang Shichong and weakened his military strength, it would not be worth the loss if Li Tang took advantage of him.

Liu Bin, a member of Dou Jiande's Zhongshushe, analyzed that Wang Shichong had intended to marry Li Tang, so this time Wang Shichong was in trouble, he would inevitably ask Li Tang for help.Wang Shichong's thinking like this must be because he didn't want to defeat the Song army in the end, but end up being annexed by our country or Tang.

The state of Song came out in full force this time, and the battle line was stretched. The situation in the state of Zheng became more and more urgent day by day, but the siege of the state of Song did not relax.If we don't send troops and only Li Tang sends troops to help, then Li Tang and Wang Shichong should cooperate internally and externally, and they should be [-] to [-]% sure that the Song army will be defeated. At that time, Li Tang's reputation will definitely increase, and our country's position will become embarrassing.

If we send troops, the alliance of the Three Kingdoms will definitely defeat the Song army and let them retreat to the south of the Yellow River.At that time, we, Li Tang and the Song Army will form a situation where the three kingdoms stand at the same time. At that time, whether we are in war or peace, we will not be as embarrassed as we are now.

Dou Jiande listened.

It just depends on how Li Tang reacted, and waited for half a month to see Li Tang send troops to Luoyang.

Dou Jiande then sent an envoy to report to Wang Shichong of Luoyang, saying that he was willing to send troops to rescue.

In June, Li Tang left the customs led by Li Jiancheng.

In the same month, Dou Jiande personally led the troops to the south.

Li Tang has been famous for a long time, and so is Dou Jiande's Xia army, which is even more victorious than Li Tang.The men and horses of the two countries came fiercely, and the result was that Xu Yuanlang, who had already surrendered to the Song army, rebelled against the Song Dynasty, and brought all his troops to join Dou Jiande;

When Li Tang's side reached Mingzhou, Cao Dan, the guard of Mingzhou, opened the city gate.Mingzhou has not yet been defeated by the Song army, but the general Cao Dan is Wang Shichong's old general. He did this in response to Wang Shichong's order, asking Li Tang's reinforcements to rush to Luoyang faster.

Xu Yuanlang's rebellion against the Song Dynasty, as well as Cao Dan's surrender without a fight and his ardent cooperation undoubtedly strengthened the momentum of Dou Jiande and Li Tang's reinforcements.

Li Yuan was very happy in Chang'an, dissatisfied with the stubbornness of his second son Li Shimin. After all, among his sons, Li Shimin was still the one who was better at leading troops to fight.But after thinking about it, Li Jiancheng must be able to make a contribution this time, and then he can balance the power of the two sons.

And Li Yuan was not very satisfied yet, he also intended to take advantage of the time when the Song army was dealing with the remaining troops of Xia Jun, Li Tang Jun and Wang Shichong, to send troops to the south and cross the Yellow River to attack Huayin directly. It is far away from Xiangyang, the capital of the Song Army.

In Li Yuan's perception, the Song army would be defeated this time, and their granddaughter would be taken care of by Turkic masters, so his idea may not be unfeasible if he strikes while the iron is hot.

Thinking of this, he thought of his second son Li Shimin who had been scolded by him severely, and Li Shimin had to lead the troops to go south.

Lin Ning, who was worried about death by many parties, not only had the masters of the Song Clan beside her at the moment, but the Jing Nian Zen School also sent eminent monks to protect her in secret.

Concubine Shixuan was not there, but Concubine Shixuan was in Bashu at the moment, and persuaded Xu Ziling to join her in getting rid of "Tianjun" Xi Ying, a wicked member of the evil sect.

By the way, the conspiracy of the Demon Gate was thwarted.

Lin Ning didn't have to worry about what would happen to Aye Song Que, but now that Shi Feixuan is intervening, she doesn't have to worry, all her attention needs to be on the battlefield.

In July, Dou Jiande approached Hulao Pass.

At this time, Lin Ning was guarding Hulao Pass, and Dou Jiande sent a secret envoy to agree with Wang Shichong to attack from inside and outside.

Little did they know that the Wang Shichong who was talking to him was not the original Wang Shichong, and Lin Ning had sent another navy to bypass the Shandong Peninsula from the sea and land behind Dou Jiande before guarding the Hulao Pass, which not only cut off Dou Jiande's food transportation The team captured his general Zhang Qingte, captured thousands of soldiers, and cut off Dou Jiande's connection with the rear.

Another 5000 people marched towards Mingzhou in the name of Wang Shichong's younger brother Wang Shibian, and joined Li Tang's reinforcements.Li Tang's reinforcements sent troops from Mingzhou, and the Song army had to fight on three fronts, at least for Dou Jiande.

So when Dou Jiande first learned that the Song army entrenched at Hulao Pass was going south, as if to help Mingzhou, and then received a signal from Wang Shichong to cooperate with the inside and outside, such a double guarantee really inspired Dou Jiande's army.

On the east bank of Sishui, they set up a formation for more than [-] miles, intending to fight the Song army decisively.

After fighting back and forth several times, Dou Jiande's army on his side was exhausted and discouraged because of successive defeats. At this time, the vigorous Song army rushed out unexpectedly. The number far exceeded Dou Jiande's imagination, and it was even more elite.

In the end, Dou Jiande was captured alive.

The Xia army he brought also collapsed, and finally surrendered.

So far, it was Li Tang who was besieged on three sides. There was Song army in front, Song army in back, and Song army beside him. Moreover, Cao Dan had sincerely surrendered to Song. Voting to Li Tang in Mingzhou was just a trick to lure the enemy into deep That's all, and there are also five thousand elite soldiers disguised as Wang Shichong's younger brother.

So that when the fight broke out, Li Tang's army was a little confused, and couldn't tell which one was his own and which was the enemy.

The Turkic masters who came to help out were also very confused, this is completely different from what they said!

Lin Ning's side is ruining Gula, and Shi Feixuan has also made plans on Bashu's side.Xu Ziling disguised himself as Yueshan, and came out to hook up the "Tianjun" banquet. In addition, Xu Ziling also got in touch with "Fat Jia" Anlong, a member of the Demon Sect, and You Niaojuan.Among the two, An Long quietly took refuge in Lin Ning, on the condition that he would protect him, and it would be even better if he could kill the "evil king" Shi Zhixuan.

You Niaojuan has a personal feud with Xi Ying.

The three fought against the enemy together, and finally broke Xi Ying's Ziqi Tianluo and killed him.

At the same time, the intelligence from Bashu also said that Houhou and Zhu Yuyan had been in Bashu.

It seems that Xi Ying's appearance this time was invited by Zhu Yuyan.

Lin Ning took a look at the information when she was facing the enemy, and she couldn't help sighing: "I have no choice but to."

Song Zhi looked indifferent.

But Lin Ning didn't let him go: "Second Uncle, how about I tell Houhou where Yang Gong's treasure house is?"

Song Zhi blurted out: "You're such a fool!"

Song Zhi: "..."

Song Zhi came to his senses, and Lin Ning inferred that Yang Gong's treasure house was not hidden from him, so the old man knew that Yang Gong's treasure house was in Chang'an, and Chang'an is now Li Tang's imperial capital.

Furthermore, the people in the Demon Sect worked so hard for Duke Yang's treasury, not only for the food, grass, gold and silver in Duke Yang's treasury, but also for the legendary relic of the evil emperor.

Now if the secret of Duke Yang's treasure house is revealed, not only Chang'an will become the target of public criticism, but the people in the Demon Sect will definitely flock to it, and the Demon Sect is not united, and there will be a lot of internal strife at that time.

This is killing two birds with one stone.

Song Zhi coughed twice: "Second Uncle misunderstood you."

Lin Ning accepted it calmly: "It's good that you know."

Song Zhi: "..." It's a good deal, but it's a good one.

Lin Ning said abruptly: "It is said that Bi Xiuxin and Shi Zhixuan's daughter Shi Qingxuan are now living in Bashu, is that true?"

Song Zhi nodded: "That's right."

Song Zhi asked puzzled again: "Why did you suddenly think of this?"

Lin Ning shrugged: "You said why I suddenly remembered it, then I just had a whim—oh, hey, why did you do it!"

Song Zhi withdrew his shaking hand and sneered twice: "I can't help it!"

Lin Ning: "..."

The author has something to say: Ning Mei: I am skinny/scumbag and I am proud.

White Queen: Oh?

Ning Mei: I'm just talking (counseling)
