Yi Song

Chapter 153 Descendants of Tubo Zampu

Cai Jing guessed something was wrong. Liu Guozhang did not return to Nanjing. Instead, he gathered the scattered troops on the south bank of the Bian River. .

"How can you fight a war? I am guerrilla in front, waiting for an opportunity to find an opening for thieves. What about you! Before the battle, look out for the wind and run away.

Straight bitch! What you are facing today is not the Hexi Family's Iron Kites and the Qi Sheng Army, nor the Northern Liao Pishi Army or the Khitan Iron Cavalry. It's just the Huaibei bandit army, a ragtag group that doesn't even have soldiers and armor ready!

Who are you? The Imperial Guards in front of the palace, the best among the best, will run away when they see the ragtag rebel army and thieves. Are you all standing to urinate?

How about you all change your job? The Ministry of Internal Affairs is very short of manpower, so you losers can just become internal servants in the Huangmen. If you're not even worthy of being a man, why do you need that thing? "

Not only killing Xie Xing and others, Liu Guozhang also gathered hundreds of people including the commander, commander, and generals in the big tent, and cursed them bloody.

These more than a hundred people lowered their heads and did not dare to express their anger.

They had no choice but to suffer defeat, but Liu Guozhang and his divine cavalry showed great power, killing nearly a thousand people in the bandit army and capturing the head of the bandit chief Tian Wenbao's nephew.

The Divine Cavalry Army and Guang Jie and other troops were stationed in the same city in Nanjing, with close contacts and mutual trust.

When the troops were gathered together, I heard that the commanders, generals, and team generals below the commander Zeng Feifan were talking about how to follow the commander, how to gallop and shoot, how to rush into the enemy's formation, as if there was no one, among thousands of troops. Take the enemy general's head easily.

The military attaches in each army and battalion have all five tastes in their hearts.

Fear, awe, surprise, joy, shame.

Now they all know that Liu Erlang is indeed brave and good at fighting, and can lead them to victory. This is his ability, his strength in fighting hard!

So Liu Erlang scolded them like his second grandson, but he didn't dare to say a word.

"After some discussion just now, now there are only 5,060 left and right forbidden troops, excluding those who were killed and injured in battle, still capable of fighting. There will no longer be any division between the left and right armies, and they will all be organized into ten battalions for me. Each battalion has five hundred men, and is divided into five capitals and twenty-five teams.

The commander and deputy commander of each battalion, as well as the commander and deputy commander, the list will be issued later. I don't judge by your previous performance, only by your performance in the challenge yesterday.

If you are dissatisfied, say it now and I will send you back to Nanjing. The adaptation is completed and the appointment is issued. If anyone disobeys the military orders, I will march and kill him immediately!

Did you hear that? "

"My subordinates heard it!" everyone responded in unison.

"The brothers who died in the war were transported back to the north bank and buried in a safe place. I will definitely fight for their pension money and food to ensure that their families can support themselves. The injured brothers will be sent back to Nanjing City to be treated by Jinshou.

We were defeated because Kontsev and Xie Xing were useless, because you were incompetent! It has nothing to do with them. They died on the battlefield, which was also my dereliction of duty! I am the general, it is my responsibility, I will never escape!

After the war, I would go to every brother’s home and apologize. Now, what we have to do is to win the battle and comfort their spirits in heaven! "

When everyone heard this, they had mixed feelings. This is the commander worth following.

Liu Guozhang scanned the circle and continued: "After we return, each battalion and each team will register, and all those with night blindness will be selected!"

"Commander, what is night blindness?"

"It's just that you can't see clearly at night."

Everyone looked at each other with various expressions in their eyes, including surprise, worry, and fear.

Liu Erlang is going to attack the bandit army at night!

It's so crazy.

But the military order had not been issued, and they did not dare to ask.

"Okay, let's go back to our bases, appease everyone, and get ready."

"Yes!"

After everyone left, Liu Guozhang called Qi Zhongfu, the tenth general of the flag-bearing team.

"Zhongsuke, you and the people from the assassination department are keeping an eye on them. Whether they are going south or north, I will capture all those who have liaisons with the military."

"Yes!"

"big eyes."

"Brother, I'm here." Zhang Meng stuffed the last bite of Hanjia Bao into his mouth and puffed out his cheeks in response.

"Take a group of cavalry and let's go out of the camp to see the enemy's situation."

"Yes!"

Just after leaving the camp, a small school came to report.

"Controller, General Manager Li is here to visit."

"Manager Li?"

"Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Military and Horsemen of Jingdong South Road, Supervisor of the Military and Horsemen of Yingtianfu Li Zhongjie, General Manager Li."

"Please."

Li Zhongjie was dressed in military uniform, riding a tall horse, and led a group of cavalry retinues, about fifty people, from the shore ferry. Liu Guozhang noticed that behind this man's saddle hung a spear, two riding bows and a four-cylinder quiver. Those two riding bows are different from the standard horn bows, at least one stone or more.

Li Zhongjie's beard is like yellowed steel needles, his slightly blackened face is shiny, he has eagle eyes and a lion's nose, and he has arms and waist like a wasp.

"The envoy of the Commander-in-Chief, please forgive me for visiting unexpectedly."

"Manager Li, I'm going to observe the enemy's situation, would you like to come with me?"

"Okay." Li Zhongjie responded, "We don't need so many people to see the enemy's situation secretly." He ordered more than ten riders and ordered the rest to go into the camp to rest.

The two rode together in front, followed closely by Zhang Meng and Li Zhongjie's personal captains, followed by more than twenty riders.

"Mr. Li, is your age this year?"

"Real deal, forty years old."

"I see that Mr. Li is skilled in martial arts and is excellent in riding and shooting. He is in his prime years. Why is he wasting his time in Nanjing city?"

"That's a good question, Commander. I am a Tibetan general."

"Fan general?"

"Yes. My ancestor is Jisiluo. His original name is Nan Lingwen, and he is a direct descendant of Tubo Zanpu. After my uncle Dong Fei died, his adopted son Aligu from Khotan took over the power and arrogated the title of Lord of Qingtang.

My father was sent to the Hexi family as a hostage when he was young, and my mother was originally the daughter of the chief leader of the Heluochuan Uighur tribe in Suzhou. My father later returned to the Qingtang Dynasty with his family, but gradually became indifferent to Ali, so he took us away to the Song Dynasty. They were hunted down on the way, and their relatives and friends suffered heavy casualties. Fortunately, Grand Master Zhuang Minggong protected him."

"Mr. Zhuang Min?"

"Brother of Zuo Xiangzhang's clan, Duke Zhuang Minzhang, Ambassador of Northwest Pacification."

Oh, Zhang Kai.

"Mr. Li, please continue."

"Not a year after returning to the Song Dynasty, my father and mother died one after another. In the seventeenth year of the next year, I was favored by Zhuang Mingong and took him with me as a leader. In the first year of Yuanfu, I was twenty years old. I accumulated merit and became an official on Huanqing Road. I came out Huluhechuan, participated in the battle of Pingxia City, made a surprise attack on Tiandu Mountain, and captured Simeile Dubu of the Jiaxi Shou Supervisor Army in Hexi Province.

Then, on the order of Zhuang Min Gong, he led his Tibetan cavalry into Shanzi Mountain and attacked the headquarters of the Hexi Jia Zhuoluo Military Supervision Division. He beheaded more than a thousand people and shot and wounded the commander Renduo Baozhong. Unfortunately, he was still allowed to escape. "

Li Zhongjie said slowly, squinting his eyes slightly, and his dark face shone with a glimmer of vicissitudes of life.

"In the third year of Yuanfu, Zhuang Min Gong left the northwest, and I accumulated merit and became the governor. Later, Tong Taiwei joined the Bingxi Army and wanted to take the Fan cavalry under my command for his own use, so he transferred me to Gyeonggi Rong to raise him.

I was originally depressed, but I didn't expect that I was an expert in equestrian skills. In my spare time, I learned how to play polo, played several times with the officials, and fell into the emperor's heart. Later, he said that I was a good Fan Dancer and performed it several times in front of the emperor. I was given many rewards.

While the officials were happy, I requested to return to the Northwest Frontier Army. Yukou agreed, but I didn’t want anyone to say that I looked like a barbarian, was excellent at riding and shooting, and was good at dancing in the barbarian dance, so I shouldn’t be An Lushan of the Song Dynasty. So he was sent to Xijing and Nanjing to grind and survey back and forth. "

Liu Guozhang listened quietly and understood the meaning of Li Zhongjie's words.

"Manager Li, I just lost the battle."

Li Zhongjie laughed, "Did you lose the battle? I don't think so."

"Oh, isn't it a defeat?"

"After this battle, the commander was brave and good at fighting, with clear rewards and punishments, and the whole army knew it. The officers and men in the army were convinced that they were capable of fighting well, with clear rewards and punishments, and led them to win the battle.

More importantly, Kontsev, Xie Xing and their confidants are all dead, and all the obstacles that fettered the controller have been removed, so they can naturally show off their abilities. When I received the notification from the commander that Kontsev and Xie Xing were dead, I immediately left the city and crossed the river to pay homage to the commander. "

"You worship me?"

"Yes, worship the commander."

"You are sure that I can take you back to the northwest."

"Control envoys know how to fight. Northwest, Hedong and Hebei are the places where you can show your talents."

Liu Guozhang turned around and asked, "Do you have a gift?"

Li Zhongjie waved his hand, and the captain of the soldiers stepped forward and handed over two heads.

"These are my eldest sons, Li Xiaochun and Li Dalang. The heads in my hands are the confidants of Koncev who stayed in the city and were responsible for dealing with Bianjing City. Before I left the city, I found an excuse to kill them both, just in time to present them to the ruler. make."

"Everyone calls me Erlang, and Manager Li just calls me Erlang."

"My father once gave me a nickname, Nyingma Dorje Lepa, which means King Kong Shan who rides a yellow-haired lion. It was passed around and became a yellow-haired lion. Later, everyone in the army called me Li Huangshi."

"Brother Huang Shi, we have finally seen the situation of the bandit army and the enemy, and we will attack the enemy camp together at night."

"Okay, let's go with Erlang." Li Zhongjie said enthusiastically.
