Chongxi [rebirth]

One hundred thousand Xuanjia troops rushed to the border between Jizhou and Jiali Prefecture. When the rebel army on the border of Jiali Prefecture found out, the Xuanjia Army was less than two hundred miles away from them.

The spies were so frightened that they ran back to the camp to report: "King Yong'an, King Yong'an has brought someone to call!"

A trembling and sharp voice came from a long distance away, causing a commotion among the soldiers in the camp.

The king of Dongshan's face darkened, and he gave a low drink to calm down the uneasy soldiers temporarily, and immediately notified the other kings to go to the tent to discuss matters.

The spies came galloping all the way, startled and tired, and collapsed directly on the ground after entering the tent.

"Are you sure it's King Yong'an?" King Zhongshan lifted him up, his eyes were bigger than a copper bell.

"Indeed, I'm sure. They're all wearing black armor, and it's as dark as a cloud. There are countless numbers," the spies stammered, "They still carry black flags."

The Xuanjia Army got its name because of the black armor and the gold-lettered "Qi" flag on a black background?When the Xuanjia army moved, it was like a black cloud pressing down on the city. The timid ones would be scared out of their wits just by seeing the blackness from a distance.

The same is true for today's spies.

They fought all the way, and the Beizhao army they encountered were all soft-footed shrimps, and they would disperse after a few hits. Have you ever seen such an imposing army?

Those Xuanjia troops were wearing black armor, carrying big flags, and ran towards the border of Jizhou in a neat square formation. The sound of horseshoes and footsteps was like rumbling thunder, and even the ground was trembling. Far away, it seemed as if he could feel the murderous aura on his skin.

"What should I do?" Seeing him trembling all over, King Zhongshan sent him out, and said in a circle: "Before we even started, King Yong'an brought people to call. It must be our Chen Bing Jizhou border that caused Yong'an If the king is not happy, I will say that this battle cannot be won! How about taking Jiali Prefecture and becoming a local emperor? Good!"

He babbled and complained from time to time. Before the battle started, he was already planning to run away: "Why don't we run away quickly." He calculated quickly, with a heartache on his face: "There are a lot of sows in the pigsty. The pigs are about to give birth, so I’m afraid it won’t work if I take them for my life.”

Dongshan King heard that he was already planning what to bring for his escape there, his eyes twitched, and he said in a gloomy voice: "Brother, we ran away before we met face to face, how can we gain power in the army in the future, you? This Zhongshan King Where is the majesty?!"

"If you don't have it, you don't have it!" King Zhongshan snorted, a tall and burly man, but he was quite cowardly: "No one would have the guts to fight Yong'an King. Go back and raise pigs, at least you can save your life."

He muttered: "Besides, I don't want to be the King of Zhongshan for this Lao Shizi."

Probably influenced by his words, the expressions of Xishan King and Nanshan King also became hesitant: "Big brother is not unreasonable, the Xuanjia army is famous? Hehe, don't say that we have lost the first opportunity now, even if we took the first ? There may not be a chance of success in a surprise attack. It is also possible to avoid the limelight for a while."

The King of Xishan looked at the dumb gourd again: "Fifth, what do you think?"

Beishan King, who was always like a saw-mouthed gourd, groaned for a while, then murmured: "But where can we escape? I heard from outside that King Yong'an will probably be the emperor in the future. When he is free, he will come sooner or later." hit us..."

"Fifth Brother is right." Dongshan King glanced at him appreciatively, but he didn't expect this dull Beishan King to have some courage.

As a result, Beishan King waited for him to finish speaking, and then slowly continued: "Otherwise, let's surrender. Doesn't the imperial court have some kind of reassurance?"

Dongshan King: "..."

Damn, a bunch of gutless wimps!

"This is a good idea." King Zhongshan thumped the table when he heard the words: "If you let King Yong'an handle it? Let's recruit him, maybe he can still be an official."

King Nanshan was hesitant by King Xishan and did not speak, but he was obviously a little moved.

On the contrary, King Dongshan looked at the expressions of these people, guessing that they had no courage to face the enemy head-on, he gritted his teeth secretly, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

In just an hour, the dark Xuanjia army arrived at the border of Jizhou, set up camp, and faced them across a boundary line.

The news that King Yong'an came with the Xuanjia army quickly spread among the rebel army, many of them?

"King Yong'an is here? Shall we fight or not?"

"It's not nonsense to ask, let you hit you? Go?"

"How dare I? One Xihuang man can kill ten of me, but one Xuanjia army can kill ten Xihuang people. Isn't this going to die..."

All kinds of voices like this are not rare in the army. King Beishan walked around and heard the voice of not fighting even louder, and he immediately felt relieved.

There are a lot of rebels, but they are all composed of ordinary people. It can only be said that the defenders in these places are too useless to be able to fight in California.Really? The Xuanjia Army is not afraid of fighting, but there is really no need for such internal friction.It is best to be able to subdue others without fighting.

Taking advantage of no one's attention, after sending a letter to Zhu Lie who had just arrived, King Beishan was going to talk to King Zhongshan.

But as soon as he approached King Zhongshan's camp, he heard arguing inside.

The other voice was obviously that of King Dongshan.

Among the several leaders of the rebel army, only King Dongshan is a scholar, and he is also the most ambitious.However, the Zhongshan King he assisted was a reckless man who had no ambitions and devoted himself to raising pigs. Usually, Zhongshan King still listened to him and fought wherever he pointed.But now that he met the Xuanjia Army, King Zhongshan was obviously not completely stupid, and had a disagreement with him.

The quarrel in the tent was suppressed deliberately, but Beishan Wang was born as a secret guard, with excellent hearing, he could hear their quarrel clearly.

King Dongshan wanted King Zhongshan to send troops to attack at night, but King Zhongshan was obviously unwilling to let the soldiers in his hands go to death, let alone stroke the tiger's beard. No matter how eloquent the opponent was, he refused to agree.

After lobbying for a long time to no avail, Dongshan King's voice was filled with repressed ruthlessness, but he still smiled on his face: "Forget it, let's not talk about it. I was in a hurry, so don't be angry with me, big brother. Since big brother If you refuse, I won’t mention it in the future, and the Xuanjia Army will see what they do.”

King Beishan, who was hidden in the dark, heard King Zhongshan say, "It's good for the second brother to figure it out", and then there was the sound of cups clashing.

The two are drinking.

With a flash in his eyes, he counted silently. When he reached the tenth number, he heard a dull sound of falling to the ground from inside.Then I saw King Dongshan come out of the tent with a smile on his mouth, and told the guards not far away: "King Zhongshan drank too much wine. Don't bother him tonight."

As he spoke, he took out a token, ordered a few people, and said, "You guys follow me."

After he left, King Beishan sneaked into the tent to check, and saw King Zhongshan lying face down on the table, motionless.He stretched out his hand to test his breath, but luckily he was still alive, he must have been drugged.

He simply ignored it, and left the tent in a flash to report to Zhu Lie in the forest.

After receiving the letter, Zhu Lie chuckled, and said to the subordinates who followed him, "Look, there are people who can't wait to find death just after arriving. It just so happens that Grandpa will kill him to warn the monkeys."

After talking about a series of arrangements, I just waited for Dongshan King to lead a surprise attack at night.

Dongshan King was not stupid, he was not prepared to face the enemy head-on, but had the idea of ​​taking people to burn food and grass in the middle of the night.Once the food and grass in the rear are burned, the Chinese army will be in chaos. If he takes the opportunity to attack again, the chances of winning will be much greater.As long as the first battle is won and morale is boosted, the kings of Nanshan and Xishan who are like grass on the wall will definitely be moved by his proposal.

It's a pity that his strategy was used in the wrong place.

In the middle of the night, when Wan Lai is silent?A team carried kerosene and went around quietly to the rear where grain and grass were stored. Just as they were about to dump the kerosene, a knife was hung across their necks.

The people who intercepted them were wearing black armor, all of them were vicious, and they were obviously waiting for them here long ago.

All the insurgents burning food and grass were arrested, and the leading young general said: "Raise a few fires and make them bigger."

……

The King of Dongshan, who led people to ambush, looked at the raging fire and panic shouts in the opposite camp, curled his mouth, waited until the time was almost up, and ordered: "Kill!"

King Zhongshan is not here, and the soldiers brought this time are more convinced of him.After hearing his order, he rushed to the encampment of the Xuanjia army, which was in flames, without hesitation.

Dongshan Wangyin watched with a smile on his face from the dark place, but after a while, his smile could not be maintained - in the flames, countless well-trained Xuanjia soldiers rushed out from all directions and chased him down. The people and horses brought surrounded him.

Because this time he transferred troops privately, he brought less than 5000 troops.But thinking that it was a surprise attack to burn food and grass, five thousand would be enough.Who knew that as soon as they met, they were surrounded.

The other side obviously came prepared.

King Dongshan was startled, and was about to lead the others to retreat, when he saw a tall man walking towards his hiding place with a knife on his shoulders, and said with a smile, "You? .”

After speaking, without waiting for Dongshan King's reaction, he ordered all the people to be taken down.

The raid of 5000 people was taken down just like a joke.Those insurgents wanted to fight out at first, but when they found out that even King Dongshan had been captured, they completely lost their morale and surrendered without hesitation.

"Tie them up, and push them all to the front of the formation early in the morning." Zhu Lie patted Dongshan King's thin body with the back of his knife, and smiled maliciously: "This one is hanging on the flagpole. Tell me On the other side, as long as they surrender, they will not be killed."

Early the next morning, King Zhongshan, who was poured with medicine, was woken up by splashing water. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw King Beishan's face in front of his eyes, and said in a muffled voice: "King Dongshan led 5000 people to raid the Xuanjia Army and captured them." .”

"????" King Zhongshan looked at him blankly and shocked: "What??"

The King of Nanshan snorted: "The King of Dongshan led people to sneak attack in the middle of the night behind our backs, but was arrested. Now the opposite side is beating gongs and drums to ask us to surrender. If we don't surrender, we will take him and those 5000 people to sacrifice the flag."

King Zhongshan: "..."

He stretched out his hand to feel around himself, but he didn't find the token, so he spat: "Grandma's, the second brother stole my token." He was so anxious that he said, "I said I can't fight!"

He looked at the other three and asked, "What do you think?"

King Beishan said hesitantly: "I can't beat it, or I will surrender."

The king of Nanshan and the king of Xishan were obviously unwilling, but they were afraid of death, so they did not speak for a long time.

Seeing their abnormality, King Zhongshan simply said: "Then Lao Wu and I took people to surrender." After speaking, he took Beishan Wang's shoulders and walked away, obviously intending to surrender.

The king of Xishan and the king of Nanshan looked at each other, thinking that the most capable king of Zhongshan had surrendered, and they might not be able to get any better if they persisted, so they chased after them one after another.

***

"That's how they all surrendered?" Ye Yunting looked at Zhu Lie's letter sent back by Saker Falcon. Besides being amused, he also felt a little emotional: "Just like this, they can all come to the border of Jizhou." It is enough to prove that Beizhao's other How many are the guards in the states and counties? Incompetent, how many? Greedy for life and afraid of death.

"I'm used to living a happy life, these defenders have long since lost their blood." Li Fengqi curled his lips: "Let them live a happy life for a few more days."

If it falls into his hands in the future, none of these trash can escape.

The 30 rebel army was not a small number. Zhu Lie led people to recruit the rebel army. On the Jizhou side, after confirming that the border was stable and there were no worries, Li Fengqi ordered people to send a letter of condemnation, targeting Li Zong.

The call-to-action first lists the meritorious deeds of King Yong'an, and then changes the topic, mentioning the revenge of the former emperor who killed his brother and seized the throne.

These days, the secrets of the royal family being smothered, rotten, and stinking have spread all over the states and counties.But rumors are just rumors after all, although most of them say it on their lips, they still know in their hearts that it is not true.

But this denunciation document admitted the life experience of King Yong'an - he was the posthumous son of the former prince Li Xun.

If the first emperor hadn't killed his brother to seize the throne, King Yong'an would have been the heir of Beizhao Jiangshan.At that time, the first emperor not only murdered his eldest brother in a rebellious manner, but even viciously spared his elder sister-in-law who was giving birth.Fortunately, the old Yong'an Wang Zhiyi took the initiative to save the posthumous son of the former prince.

As soon as the call to action came out.The world is outraged.

The common people thought that the evil deeds done by the first emperor were enough, but when the life experience of King Yong'an was revealed, they knew that there could be more heinous things in this world.

For a while, countless literati and scholars wrote articles to criticize, and there were countless curses from the common people in the market.

In the streets and alleys of Shangjing, words such as "faint emperor", "unrighteous position", and "abdication" were written with blood-red cinnabar. Some people drew portraits and pasted them on the wall with the name of the former emperor Li Gan written on it. ? Taboo, being spit full of thick phlegm by pedestrians.The imperial guards checked the traitors over and over again, but these people testified to each other, and no one admitted that they did it themselves.Because of the lessons learned from the past, they dare not arrest people easily. They can only send more people to patrol around to clean up the "dirty" in the streets and alleys.

However, they clean it up during the day, and someone will post it quietly at night.

All of a sudden, the former emperor and even the present, everyone in the capital was screaming and beating, and almost became a gutter mouse that no one wanted to see.
