Only God is left

Jin'an Village was besieged for several months. Gao Xingzhou and Fu Yanqing led several cavalry to fight, but they were outnumbered and failed.The food is exhausted, the dung is peeled off to feed the horses, the horses eat each other, their tails and manes are bald, and when they die, the soldiers share the food, but no reinforcements arrive.Zhang Jingda has a strong personality, and he was called "Zhang Shengtie" at the time. Yang Guangyuan and An Shenqi urged Jingda to surrender to Khitan. Jingda said: "I have received the kindness of Mingzong and today's superiors. I am a marshal and defeated the army. The crime is serious. What's more Surrender the enemy! Now the reinforcements are arriving at dusk, and we should wait for them. If we are exhausted, the army will behead me and bring them out to surrender. It is not too late to ask for blessings." Guang Yuanmu examines Qi Wanting to kill Jingda, Shen Qi couldn't bear it.Gao Xingzhou knew that Guangyuan wanted to respect Da, and he would often lead strong men to ride on their tails to defend him. Jing Da didn't know why, and said to people, "What do you mean by Xing Zhou's heels every time?" Xing Zhou dared not follow.Every day, the generals gather in the recruiting envoy camp.

Jiazi, before Gao Xingzhou and Fu Yanqing arrived, Guangyuan took advantage of his unpreparedness, beheaded Jingda, and commanded all the generals to surrender to Khitan.

……

The Lord Khitan had heard the names of the generals before, and they all consoled them, and gave them fur hats, and said as a joke: "You are also a big villain, and you don't eat thousands of war horses with salt and cheese!" Guangyuan and the others felt ashamed.The Lord of Khitan praised Zhang Jingda for his loyalty, and ordered him to be buried and sacrificed. He said to his subordinates and the generals of the Jin Dynasty, "Ru Cao is a minister, and you should serve and respect Da." At that time, there were still nearly five thousand horses in the Jin'an village, and fifty thousand armored staff. , the Khitan took it back to their country, and learned that the general of the Tang Dynasty was awarded the emperor (Shi Jingtang), saying: "The master is the one who encourages things." The commander of the horse army made Kang Sili die in anger.

...........................

Fu Yanqing was indignant about the surrender of the village, but he could not control it. Yang Guangyuan deliberately picked a season when he and Gao Xingzhou were away, and forced to cook raw rice and wait for them to put their names on the list.At this moment, if he doesn't obey, he will have to commit suicide or be killed by someone, or he will just ride away alone, but these are all actions of no benefit.When the generals were about to surrender, he stood behind silently with his head bowed, not wanting Shi Jingtang to stretch his neck and look straight at him. When he secretly thought something was wrong, he realized that Shi Jingtang was looking for Gao Xingzhou.

After Zhao Dejun escaped from the battlefield and was rejected by Khitan, he entered Youzhou City and closed the door.When Shi Jingtang went south, he originally had the idea that one less battle would be a one-time battle. At this time, he didn't want to forcefully attack the city. He wanted Gao Xingzhou, who was born in Youzhou, to persuade Zhao Dejun to surrender.

Gao Xingzhou's face was naturally very ugly when he received this kind of "entrustment", but he actually went as ordered.

...............................

Zhao Dejun and Zhao Yanshou headed south to Luzhou, and the Tang defeated soldiers followed them a little bit, and they returned Lu Long Qingqi, then commander-in-chief of the game, back to Yuyang.The emperor sent Zhaoyi Jiedu envoy Gao Xingzhou to return the food. When he went to the city, he saw Dejun and his son on the city. Xingzhou said: "Servant and Dawang Xiangqu, dare not give advice! There is no fighting millet in the city, so it is better to meet the car and drive quickly. "In Jiaxu, the emperor and the Khitan master went to Luzhou. Dejun and his son greeted him at Gaohe. The Khitan master comforted him. The father and son worshiped the emperor on the head of the horse, and said: "Farewell to the future?" The emperor didn't care, and he didn't say anything .

……

Li Congke's reign was short, and he did not do any great good or bad governance.At the critical moment when the northern soldiers approached, people in Luoyang fled to plan for refuge. The door officials wanted to prohibit the people from entering and leaving. Overwhelmed.

Only the devil knows why Li Congke has always been negative towards the Hedong military affairs. The brave generals who once followed Zhuangzong Mingzong to fight on the two rivers now have no fighting spirit. ***.The concubine Wang Dowager, who was serving Emperor Mingzong, persuaded Empress Dowager Cao to take refuge and wait for Shi Jingtang to enter Beijing. Empress Dowager Cao refused to obey and died, so she took Mingzong's youngest son Li Congyi to hide in the stadium.Sure enough, as she expected, Shi Jingtang did not embarrass the two of them after he entered Beijing, and it can be considered that he has won the favor of his father-in-law.

After Shi Jingtang entered Beijing, he ordered Liu Zhiyuan to deploy all the troops in the capital to strictly enforce the law.When Shi Jingtang was still outside the city, all the generals came up to welcome him, and it was already a matter of course by now.And Li's wife did not burn down the palace after all, and there was nothing to mess with in the city.As long as the soldiers don't take the lead in looting the city, there will be no strongmen and bullies who dare to take advantage of the water.So within a few days, all the civilian husbands who escaped from the city came back. For a while, except that the people sitting in the palace changed their surnames and changed their dynasty, everything seemed to be the same as before.

In [-] A.D., Shi Jingtang proclaimed himself emperor, the country name was Jin, and the year name was Tianfu.

It seems that because of the Youzhou incident, the Jin Lord was very relieved of Gao Xingzhou, and routinely kept him in Beijing for a while before sending him back to his vassal.

Before Gao Xingzhou returned to Luzhou, Fu Yanqing saw him again. Seeing that he was walking towards the Dongcheng temple, Fu Yanqing casually said that he did not know that he was a follower of the Shi clan.

Gao Xingzhou shook his head with a smile, "No, I'm going to the temple to pick up my son."

Fu Yanqing's eyes widened instantly: "You brought your son to Luoyang?"

"Zhuojing passed away early, leaving only one son. He has no one to take care of him in Yuan County, so I have always taken him with him."

——Then why don't you remarry?Fu Yanqing still didn't ask this question.Thinking that there was nothing wrong with him, and also curious about his son, Fu Yanqing went with Gao Xingzhou.Not long after I entered the courtyard and informed the monks, a child who was only ten years old turned in from the back hall.Fu Yanqing was a little surprised, he thought that according to Gao Xingzhou's age, his son would be at least seventeen or eighty-nine.

"Daddy."

The child's facial features are extremely attractive and lovely, and his eyes are the same as his father's, which are also bright brown with golden hair.Gao Xingzhou showed an undisguised warmth in an instant, he bent down and hugged the child with a smile: "De'er, have you taken care of yourself?"

"I'm fine, I just miss daddy, is daddy okay?"

Gao Xingzhou put his hands on the child's shoulders, and looked into his eyes with a soft and warm smile: "—I'm fine too, and I miss you very much."

Fu Yanqing watched from the side, unable to take his gaze away from Gao Xingzhou, not knowing what it was like in his heart.He is not good, Fu Yanqing thought to himself, no one in Jin'an Village is good.Not only did they almost die in the north, even if they survived by chance, they would not swallow their anger—Kang Sili who died suddenly in the army was the former subordinate of Li Sizhao who served Zhaoyi, and Li Keyong was a veteran who served under his account when he was in command of Hedong.After Li Congke ascended the throne, he was left out because he did not respond positively. When the situation was critical, he was rushed to the north. When he was about to arrive, he received the news that Yang Guangyuan had killed Zhang Jingda and surrendered his army. The old general was so angry that he died immediately. In the army - they are also Li's former generals, afterwards they found out that Shi Jingtang's father served Khitan in order to borrow troops, who can swallow this breath?

Not minding Fu Yanqing who was standing beside him, Gao Xingzhou lowered his head and kissed the child on the forehead: "De'er, I love you very, very much."

Fu Yanqing's eyes were straightened: God, that's the only word he could think of: God.

The child only saw Fu Yanqing when he looked up, and hurriedly restrained his face and saluted him, with a respectful and generous manner, Fu Yanqing couldn't help but boasted to Gao Xingzhou: "Young Master Ling is really smart."

Without being polite, Gao Xingzhou replied with a smile: "Yes, he is a good boy." Then he asked Fu Yanqing: "Have all the sons of Guanhou's family become officials?"

Fu Yanqing immediately frowned: "Those brats in my family? Every time I see them, I feel dizzy. My greatest hope for them is that I won't be as famous as Zhaoyi's servant without dying!"*

Gao Xingzhou smiled: "The sixth son of the Li family is still in Luzhou, so you can accumulate some virtue."

When Fu Yanqing looked at him, his heart moved, and he said abruptly: "I will see you tomorrow, I don't know when, why don't we find a place to have a drink in the city and get together, after all, we are colleagues."

Gao Xingzhou looked at him and smiled, and actually agreed.
