Late Tang

(Please recommend tickets, please reward!)

In Lulong Town, the army is shut down.

Guo Chongtao has now become the most dazzling new star in the Shatuo Army. This was originally a young Han boy newly recruited by Li Kexiu. After capturing Wuzhou with [-] soldiers, Li Keyong gave him more soldiers.Then, this arrogant guy really used only [-] Shatuo troops to attack the city and break the county all the way. Arrived at the front of the Northwest Fortress of Youzhou.

This result surprised even Li Keyong, with one eye shining brightly.

He really had a discerning eye. At the beginning, he only thought that the young Han general under his younger brother Li Kexiu's account was very arrogant and somewhat anti-Tang pre-Tang conceit.This time he gave Guo Chongtao 1 horses, originally because he wanted Guo Chongtao to suffer a bit in front of the Youzhou Army, to frustrate his spirit, and to use him better.Unexpectedly, he really has the capital of arrogance. In a short period of time, he has defeated the four armies of Youzhou in a row, captured the four states, and killed the army.

Youzhou Town is not a weak town. Li Keyong also fought against Youzhou back then. He had been neighbors with Lu Long in Daibei for many years, so he didn't know the details of Youzhou.Although Lulong Town has changed coaches repeatedly in the past few years, internal fighting has continued, resulting in a sharp drop in strength, and Li Jing's several times of robbery by fire, the strength of Youzhou Town has dropped sharply, but the thin camel is bigger than the horse, no matter how weak it is. Youzhou Town is also an old feudal town, but now under the attack of 1 young generals like Guo Chongtao, it has lost four states in a row.

Li Ke used special reorganization of the Tielin Army, with Guo Chongtao as the Tielin Army envoy.For a while, Guo Chongtao and Li Siyuan, the commander of Hengchong, immediately had the same status. In addition, Li Sizhao led the Yier Army, Kang Junli led the Yaer Army, and Liu Shi led the Women's Army. Yi's commander-in-chief, his status has skyrocketed, and he has become the core general under Li Keyong's command.

After capturing the four prefectures, Li Ke used his army to storm the military pass, but the military pass was extremely dangerous. Ke Yong continued to attack for half a month, and both sides lost more than [-] troops each, but they still couldn't go down.

Before the defeat of the four armies in front of the mountain, they brought all the money and food for the population of the four prefectures back to the pass. Although Li Keyong won the four prefectures, he had no food or grass.So he sent his uncle Li Youjin back to Datong to ask Chen Jingsi for food and payment, while continuing to attack.

"Commander, the deputy commander is back." Outside the tent, the guards reported loudly.

Li Keyong, who was studying how to break through the Military Capital Pass in front of the map, hurriedly said, "Please call for the deputy commander."

Li Youjin came all the way from Datong, travel-laden, and after entering the tent, he quickly picked up the water glass and drank water.

"Uncle, how is this trip going? How much food and wages do you want?" Since entering the fortress, Zheng Congyu, the commander of the camp, has only given him thousands of guan, grain and thousands of stones like a beggar.The consumption during this period was entirely due to the food and grass that Li Ke brought from the north of Yinshan Mountain.Up to now, the four states have been won but no food and grass have been obtained. Li Ke is running out of food and grass, and urgently needs to be supplemented with food and grass.

Li Youjin put down his cup, took a few breaths, and his face was a little unhappy.

"Uncle is incompetent, and he failed to bring back even a grain of food."

Li Youjin went to ask for food and pay, but Chen Jingsi, the Shatuo supervisor, didn't have any food.The grain and grass are all in Taiyuan, and the grain and grass in Datong City belong to the Datong Army.No matter how Li Youjin explained that there was an urgent need for food and grass, the Datong Army and the Taiyuan Army refused to provide food.Even if Chen Jingsi stepped forward, there was no result.

"Didn't uncle explain to them that a certain has taken over as the commander of the camp in the west of Hebei?"

"Those damned Han Chinese only recognize Zheng Congxuan and Xinxuan, and don't care about our life and death at all. They bluntly said that without the warrants of Zheng Gong and Xin Shuai, they would not give us a grain of food." Li Youjin said bitterly. .

Speaking of which, both Datong and Taiyuan were the main force for the imperial court to put down the Chaos in Daibei Shatuo.The fight between Sha Tuo and the Second Town has lasted for almost two years, with countless casualties, and the old enemies on both sides are not small.Now that Shatuo returned to Daibei, they have already made them unhappy, but now that the original enemy has become their boss again, no one is worried.

The territory of Daibei had already been occupied by the various tribes of the Datong Army, and these people were very worried that Li Keyong would take back the territory of Daibei again.Li Ke used this time to get food from them, but of course it was impossible.

"Commander, at most we only have ten days' food left. If there is no more food and grass, our tens of thousands of troops will collapse without a fight." Li Kexiu, who was in charge of logistics, said worriedly at this time.

Li Keyong's face was cloudy and uncertain. He didn't expect that he worked hard here for Datang, paid tens of thousands of soldiers casualties, and captured the land of the four states of the rebel army, but the towns of the imperial court refused even a little food and grass. Supply, actually want to sit and watch Li Ke starve to death here with tens of thousands of big sticks.

All of a sudden, anger rose in his heart, and a single eye flashed with hatred.

"What should we do now?"

All the generals looked at Li Keyong.

Li Keyong clenched his fists, raised his head, and looked at Guo Chongtao, Li Siyuan, and Kang Junli, "Can you capture the military capital within ten days?"

He knew that there was a large amount of food and grass accumulated in the military capital pass. If the military capital pass could be captured, the problem of food for the entire army would be solved.

However, Kang Junli shook his head. Facing the military capital guarded by almost [-] soldiers and horses at this time, it is simply delusional to want to break through the pass within ten days.

Li Siyuan also shook his head, trying to break through the military capital to get food, this idea is too risky.Once the pass cannot be broken through within ten days, Nashatuo's army will really collapse without a fight.

Even Guo Chongtao, who has always been arrogant, lowered his head and avoided Li Keyong's expectant gaze.Although he is arrogant, it is based on his control over the target, not blindly arrogant and arrogant.

"Report to the emperor and report the crimes of Zheng Congxun and Xinxun." Li Youjin said.

Mrs. Liu, who had been silent by the side, shook her head and said softly: "The sky is high and the emperor is far away. Right now, the emperor himself is a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, so he can't care about us. What's more, even if the emperor ordered Hedong, The second town of Datong gave us food and grass, but it is far from quenching our thirst, we only have food for ten days, and we will never last until then."

"It's better to withdraw our troops back outside the Great Wall and stop working for the Li family." Someone suggested.

Li Keyong finally got the opportunity to return to the Central Plains, so he was willing to leave in such a desperate way at this time.

Kang Junli had killed Duan Wenchu ​​in Yunzhou and Li Keyong had turned against Tang. At this time, when his surname was the same, he simply shouted: "Just turn against his mother, I see that Li Tang will not have a few days to live. The world is against you!" Wang Siqi, why should we give our lives to Li Tang again."

"Inverted."

"Inverted!"

A group of domineering Shatuo generals shouted one after another, this time they rebelled against the Tang Dynasty, but they received a lot of indifference and anger.To quell the chaos in the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty only paid a thousand guanqian and a thousand stone meters. As the saying goes, the emperor did not send hungry soldiers.Now the emperor not only wants them to work hard, but also doesn't even give them food money. How can there be such a thing in the world.

Li Keyong didn't speak, but his face was as gloomy as water, and one single eye was already flickering again and again.

Mrs. Liu said with some concern: "The commander-in-chief must think clearly about the consequences. If he rebels, if Li Tang is not destroyed, then there will be no place for me, Shatuo, in the Central Plains."

Guo Chongtao sneered at the side and said: "I don't think there is anything to worry about. Now Li Tang has lost his power, and the world is against the king everywhere. Don't talk about the Four Towns of Hebei and Huangchao, just talk about Zhongwu and Hezhong. Isn't that the same? Let's talk about that The two generals, Li Jing and Gao Pian, who are known as the twin jades of the Tang Dynasty, still care about Li Tang's life and death. A certain person thinks that Datong and the towns of Hedong, Zhenwu, and Tiande are heading south, and that Hedong is empty. This is our opportunity to succeed. As long as we turn around and go directly to Weizhou, then we can go straight to Daizhou, Xinzhou, and Nanke. Attacking Taiyuan, the north can take Datong, and when the time comes to occupy the north again, with the prestige of the general and the courage of Shatuo, we will be able to achieve great things."

Li Keyong's heart was greatly moved when he heard that, Zheng Congxuan, Xinxuan, and Yu Juan had all led their troops to the south, and at this time, Hedong was really empty in the north.

It's just that Li Keyong has matured a lot after his first failure against Tang Dynasty.Although faced with such a good opportunity, he did not make a decision right away, but carefully analyzed it in his mind for a long time.

In the current situation, he has only two options, or retreat beyond the Great Wall.Either send troops to Wei Dai and seize Dai Bei.

"Commander, there is an urgent report from the Hebei army. Li Jing led [-] cavalry and [-] infantry light soldiers to the south, and has already entered Cangzhou, Yichang Town. The soldiers and horses of the four towns of Chengde, Weibo, Yiwu, and Lulong are all being mobilized." A scout reports urgently.

Hearing this news, Li Ke was shocked.

Guo Chongtao said on the side: "Li Jing is going south, and the four towns seem to join forces to strangle Li Jing. Someone thinks that now is the time for us to replace the North with all our strength, and Youzhou is unable to restore the four prefectures of Gui Confucianism and Xinwu."

Li Jing's dispatch of troops to the south made Li Keyong finally make up his mind.

"It was Tang Shi who was unrighteous to me first, so don't blame me, Li Keyong, for being unkind." After gritting his teeth coldly, Li Keyong glanced at the generals, "Shatuo is rebellious!"

"Inverted!"

"Inverted!"

"Inverted!"

.......

There were bursts of thunderous roars, and Li Ke used the second to fight against Datang.

"Order, Guo Chongtao leads the Tielin Army and [-] troops to attack Tiancheng Army City and Qingsai Army City!"

"Order, Li Siyuan led his headquarters to Hengdu and [-] soldiers to attack Weizhou Anbian City and Hengye Army City."

"Order, Li Sizhao led his righteous army and [-] soldiers to attack Weizhou City and Feihu City."

"Order, Kang Junli led the Ya'er Army and [-] soldiers and horses to attack the counties of Fanzhi and Yanmen in Daizhou."

Li Keyong issued orders one after another, bestowing soldiers with talismans, ordering the four generals under his command to lead their elites to attack Wei and Dai prefectures.And Li Keyong will personally lead the remaining [-] people with the Liu family to personally attack Yunzhou, Datong Town.

Mrs. Liu stood aside, watching her husband's series of military orders, and remained silent.Although she also thinks this is an opportunity, in fact, she doesn't want her husband to turn against Tang again in her heart. She hopes to accompany Li Keyong outside the Yinshan Mountains, herding cattle and sheep, blue sky and white clouds.

It's a pity that this man has a tiger in his heart, and now the tiger has come out of the cage! (To be continued.)
