Ranking Pass History: Inventory of the Top Ten Great Players in History

Zhang Xun remained silent, his eyes flashed again and again, as if he was thinking about a problem that caused him great pain.Finally, he seemed to make up his mind, staring at Xu Yuan with piercing eyes, and said loudly,
"Xu Gong, although Yangcheng is small, it is related to the survival of the entire Tang Dynasty. Now that the court has not been able to free up, we have to stick to it for at least two more months."

Xu Yuan smiled wryly,
"Don't say stick to it for another two months, even if you stick to it for another year, I believe General Zhang can do it. But there must be a prerequisite, the soldiers must have something to eat."

People are iron rice is steel.

No matter how brave Yang soldiers are, if they have nothing to eat, they will starve for three or four days, and they will definitely be so hungry that they can't even lift their weapons.

Zhang Xun's voice suddenly revealed an extremely depressing sadness.

"If this city is lost, the Tang Dynasty will perish at the hands of the Hulu. If this city is not lost, the Tang Dynasty will still have a time to rejuvenate. In this case, we will use all the people in Yangcheng as sacrifices, and then stick to the two sides for the Tang Dynasty." months."

Both Xu Yuan and Nan Jiyun were smart people, and they both recognized the subtext of Zhang Xun's words.Xu Yuan turned pale in shock, and said sharply,

"General Zhang, we must not do this kind of behavior. In that case, what is the difference between us and the ogre king Zhu Can? We will leave an eternal infamy in history."

Nan Jiyun was born in the green forest and has seen countless cruel things, but he has never eaten anyone.Of course, he didn't want to eat people after becoming an officer and soldier of the Tang Dynasty.

He also expressed his objection to Zhang Xun.

With tears in his eyes, Zhang Xun said in a very low voice,
"Why don't I understand what you are saying? But besides this last resort, do we have a second way?
Wherever the rebels went, corpses littered the fields and blood flowed like rivers.Once they are allowed to kill Yangzhou Jinling and other places, there will be more than millions of dead people? "

Xu Yuan said in a low voice,

"The people of Jinling are human beings, and the people of Yangyang are also human beings. We absolutely cannot do this."

Zhang Xunpai said,

"I have made up my mind. All the infamy will be borne by me alone. I will go to the back office now and kill the concubines and maids for the food of the soldiers tonight. Starting tomorrow, I will kill the common people and pay the soldiers."

Zhang Xun, with red eyes, walked towards the back office with a knife in his hand.At this moment, Li Hao suddenly appeared in front of Zhang Xun out of thin air, blocking his way.

Zhang Xun didn't know Li Hao, and thought he was an assassin sent by Yin Ziqi, so he swung his knife and slashed.

Li Hao clamped the blade with only two fingers.Zhang Xun took it back with all his strength, but he couldn't get an inch of it.

"Where did the dog come from? Give me Nanba one knife."

Seeing that Zhang Xun was in danger, Nan Jiyun immediately drew his waist knife and rushed over with lightning speed.

Li Hao shattered Zhang Xun's waist knife with a jerk of his finger, then raised his hand again, and clamped Nan Jiyun's blade again.With a slight shake, Nan Jiyun's long knife also turned into pieces.

Nan Jiyun guarded Zhang Xun behind him, looked at Li Hao with the eyes of a monster, and asked loudly,
"Are you a god or a ghost?"

As the number one hero in Tang Green Forest, Nan Jiyun is very confident in his martial arts.

With a knife in hand, even if Qin Qiong and Yuchi Jingde come back to life, they may not be able to hold him.

But in the hands of someone else, his hundred-smelting steel knife turned into tofu, and it shattered when shaken.This kind of kung fu obviously surpassed Nan Jiyun's cognition.

Li Hao smiled lightly,
"Nan Baxiu is going to panic. Of course I am human."

"Your Excellency's martial arts are so advanced, but you came to help me defend Suiyang City?"

Seeing that Li Hao was not malicious, Zhang Xun immediately walked up to Nan Jiyun and clasped his fists together.

"If your Excellency is willing to help me, Zhang Xun will be very grateful. I will also play the role of the emperor to show your merits."

Xu Yuan also came over and also saluted Li Hao.

Li Hao hurriedly returned the salute to Zhang Xu Ergong, and then said in a deep voice,

"The first reason I came here is to help the people of Yang, and the second is to save the fame of General Zhang."

Speaking of this, Li Hao stared at Zhang Xun with eyes like a sharp sword, and said loudly,
"General Zhang don't talk for now, let me tell you about Yang's future.

When Tang Jun, who was protecting the people, suddenly turned into an ogre, the desperate Yang people committed suicide one after another.Some soldiers could not accept this kind of behavior, and also raised their knives to kill themselves.

In this way, the rations and soldiers you imagined are greatly reduced.Two months later, when Yangcheng was broken, there were only [-] disabled soldiers left in the city.

Only three days after Yangcheng was broken, reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty arrived and killed Yin Ziqi.You have also become heroes chased by the court, and built temples for you, offering sacrifices to you every year. "

"The rebels are finally wiped out?"

The three of them were all happy when they heard this.At this time, they didn't have time to think about why Li Hao knew the future.

Zhang Xun laughed and said,

"The people of Yang did not sacrifice in vain."

Li Hao shook his head, "Of course the sacrifice was in vain. Because these people who were eaten were not built a temple to worship."

Zhang Xun's face darkened, his mouth moved, and he wanted to say something, but finally held back.

Li Hao knew what Zhang Xun was thinking, he just wanted to say that the people of Li, no matter how much they sacrificed, they were not eligible to be built a temple to worship.Zhang Xun's thoughts are not surprising at all, and may even represent the thoughts of the vast majority of people.

After all, this is the Tang Dynasty, not the twentieth century when "the people are regarded as heroes".

Li Hao did not intend to change Zhang Xun's worldview.He went on to say,
"Let me tell you about the future of the Tang Dynasty: In a few months, the new emperor Li Heng will send Huihe cavalry to take back Luoyang. The methods of Huihe cavalry are more cruel than the rebels.

The rebels occupy Luoyang City twice, and although the people of Luoyang have suffered a lot of crimes, at least they can survive.However, the Huihe cavalry burned, killed and looted in Luoyang City, doing everything.

Do you know why the Huihe cavalry are so arrogant?

Because Li Heng asked them to send troops under the condition that "the land will be returned to the Tang Dynasty, and all the children's treasures will be returned to the Huihe". "

Having said that, Li Hao paused and looked at the expressions of Zhang Xun, Xu Yuan and Nan Jiyun.

Zhang Xun and Xu Yuan looked sad, while Nan Jiyun looked angry.

"General Zhang must understand that the new emperor Li Heng's thoughts are exactly the same as yours.

You sacrificed the people of Yang, trying to protect the water transportation of the entire Jianghuai River.Li Heng used Luoyang people as sacrifices, trying to keep the entire Tang Dynasty.

On the surface, you have succeeded.But in essence, you all failed.

Because of your actions, the Tang Dynasty completely lost the hearts of the people.Especially the people in Henan, Hebei and Shandong would rather take shelter under the wings of the rebels than accept the rule of the court.

Datang has actually existed in name only.

With the support of the common people, the generals of the rebel army who were named Jiedushi all became local emperors who ceded land and defended themselves.Until the demise of the Tang Dynasty, the imperial court failed to restore the real rule over these three places.

For more than 100 years, more than one emperor of the Tang Dynasty tried to attack the Heshuo Fanzhen, but always inexplicably went wrong at the threshold of the imminent victory, causing the rebels to come back to life.

General Zhang, do you know why this is? "
