Late Tang

Facing the golden morning sun, a black flying eagle battle flag rose from the gate tower of Yacheng in Youzhou, hunting and flying in the morning wind, full of chilling spirit.

The black flying eagle battle flag, this is the military flag of the Qin army, and it is the only one in every town in the world.When Guo Chongtao saw this flag raised, he was finally desperate and gave up.After the flying eagle battle flag was raised, two more flags were raised beside it, one big purple flag with the word Qin on it.There is also a red official banner, a huge rectangular banner with a letter to Qin Wangli, Marshal of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Jing, indeed Li Jing is here.

Guo Chongtao had mixed feelings in his heart, and his face was ashen.

Although he is conceited, it does not mean that he is stupid.He is second only to Li Keyong in the Shatuo army.But he himself had to admit that even Li Keyong, the flying tiger, was actually a bit behind Li Jing in commanding the army.Now that he was lured into Youzhou to ambush by Li Jing's tricks, he didn't even have the slightest desire to fight in his heart.

"go!"

Guo Chongtao made a decisive decision without the slightest procrastination.When he met Li Jing, even if it was a fair match, he didn't have the confidence.What's more, Li Kuangwei and Lu Longjun are multiples of him right now, and they fell into the enemy's ambush again, fell into the trick of luring the enemy, and fought away.Now Li Jing is still playing dirty with him, which is equivalent to Li Jing, the lion, beating his rabbit. The rabbit has no other ideas except to run away.

Shatuo's army was extremely fierce. Although they heard that Li Jing was in Youzhou City at this time, although they were panicked, they did not panic and collapsed, and they still maintained a strong quality.Thousands of soldiers and horses immediately turned around and left, rushing to break through.

Li Kuangwei, Wang Sitong, Li Chengyue and other Yiwu and Lu Long generals breathed a sigh of relief at this time. If they continue to fight like this, everyone's old books will be wiped out.Army leaders in troubled times, if they have soldiers in their hands, they are grass head kings.But once the soldiers are gone, everything is gone.They were really worried that Li Jing would make them fight off the Shatuo people.

Just now they were all thinking about getting out of the battle, but when the Shatuo people were about to flee, these Yiwu and Lulong generals had other ideas.Especially the generals of Lulong, Li Quanzhong is going to peel off his skin if he is not dead this time, and it is impossible for the Lulong army in Youzhou to maintain the old state after this.These Lu Long army leaders can only become subordinates of other strong towns, but no one is willing to follow Li Quanzhong, and everyone wants to follow the more promising King of Qin, Li Jing.

At that time, all the generals of the Gao family in Guizhou were defeated and captured and surrendered to Li Jing. At that time, they thought they were unlucky, but now they look at the Gao family under Li Jing's command. They are much stronger.Now, the generals of Lu Long also want to defect to Li Jing.But now, it is a good choice to beat Shatuo's underdogs and use the heads of Shatuo's bandit soldiers as investment capital.

In a flash, Lu Long's generals, who were struggling to support just now, suddenly became bloody, like a mad dog biting the Sha Tuo army, chasing and beating them fiercely.

Guo Chongtao led the army to withdraw quickly, and Wang Sitong, Li Chengyue, and Yuan Xingqin came behind him. Li Kuangwei was not to be outdone at this time.Li Cunxin couldn't resist, and in a blink of an eye, a group of soldiers and horses that fell behind were swallowed up.Guo Chongtao's retreat to the south was unfavorable, so he had to look westward, when suddenly he shouted to kill Da Zhen, three generals of Lu Longjun, Gao Xingjue, Lu Wenjin, and Zhang Juhan blocked his way.

Shatuo's generals fought to the death, and Liu Rengong led his two sons Liu Shouwen and Liu Shouguang to charge in person.

The iron whistle kept ringing, and the arrows came like a shower.

Liu Rengong couldn't rush through, and had no way out.

At this time, soldiers and horses from all walks of life continued to gather and surrounded them.Shatuo's soldiers were tired and exhausted, and they no longer had the strength to fight again.

Liu Rengong, Li Cunxin and others were surrounded, trapped like in an iron bucket, everyone and Guo Chongtao looked at each other, relatively speechless for a moment.

"It's better to surrender." Among the generals, Li Cunxin spoke first, and said to Guo Chongtao in a slightly tentative tone.

Guo Chongtao's face was ashen, but he was speechless.Although he was defeated in this battle, he was defeated by the world-renowned Li Jing, so it was not a loss of his reputation.The battle was fierce just now, and there was no time to think about many things. Now that he thought about it carefully, he became more and more difficult to calm down.

Junduguan had been captured by the Qin army, and Li Siyuan was defeated and fled back to Guizhou.It's too late to regret not listening to Li Siyuan's words now, since he led his troops into the pass, he was already doomed to fail.What surprised him even more was that Li Quanzhong and Li Jing actually united together, but thinking about Li Quanzhong's capture of Lulong before, his relationship with the towns in Hebei has been broken, and now they are almost wiped out by the Yanmen and Chengde towns. It is also normal to take refuge in Li Jing.

What a pot of porridge, Liu Rengong killed Liu Yan and took Lu Long, and Li Quanzhong drove Liu Rengong away.In the end, Li Keyong and Wang Jingchong sent troops to attack Yiwu. What happened in the end?After doing the math, on the surface Chengde Town won Dingzhou, and Li Keyong almost won the entire Yizhou.But in fact, Li Jing was the biggest winner, he won Youzhou with almost no effort.What's more important is that after this chaotic battle, the plan of the four towns in Hebei, Yanmen Town, Khitan and Huainan to attack Li Jing completely failed.

This is the biggest loss!

When all the towns covet Lulong Town, only Li Jing is watching from the other side, but in the end Li Jing is still the biggest beneficiary.

Looking back at this series of incidents now, Guo Chongtao began to believe that this whole incident was a conspiracy.This was Li Jing's conspiracy. He sent assassins to assassinate Liu Yue, commander-in-chief of Lu Longjie, but then stood still, and finally detonated the greed of the towns, using the Lulong Town site as a bait to lure the anti-Li Jing alliance to fight , and then combine the weak and separate the strong.

In the end, Li Jing took down the important town of Youzhou without bloodshed.Moreover, the anti-Li alliance was dismantled, and the four towns in Hebei have now become two and a half towns. Lulong Town has been destroyed. After this battle, Yiwu Town can only become a follower of Li Jing in the future. Li Jing poses a threat.

Chengde Town and Yanmen Town seem to have gained a state this time, but in fact, what they lost was far more than what they gained.

The more Guo Chongtao thought about it, the more he could not help admiring Li Jing.

Amazing, without using a single soldier, only one assassin was used, and in the end, such a result was achieved.

How can such a Li Jing fight against him?

He couldn't help thinking of his master, Li Keyong, who in his opinion was also a hero, a tiger that couldn't be defeated.But looking at it now, although Li Keyong performed well, compared with Li Jing, he lacked a sense of the overall situation and a sense of strategy.If he had Li Jing's overall view, he should have seized the time when Li Jing went south to fight Gao Pian and Huang Chao, and attacked Li Jing with all his strength.But Li Keyong missed this good opportunity. He has been waiting to join forces with other towns. He wants to defeat Li Jing, but he is unwilling to take too much risk.

Also, it's the same thing this time.If Li Ke had been clever, after Li Quanzhong had driven Liu Rengong away, he would not have been able to take Liu Rengong in. Instead, he would have killed Liu Rengong, and then united with other towns to recognize Li Quanzhong's occupation of Lulong Town, and reaffirmed the alliance of the towns, stepping up their efforts. party relationship.Instead of being like a mad dog, seeing the bone of Youzhou, one by one rushed up to bite each other regardless.

After this battle, Guo Chongtao immediately saw the difference between Li Jing and Li Keyong.

Li Keyong has a little strength, but he wants to fight against Tang, he has to attack from left to right, he is extremely arrogant.On the other hand, Li Jing, the current power, the leader of the towns, occupies a corner of the world, but he has always regarded himself as a loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty, showing the appearance of a loyal minister, playing the banner of the Tang Dynasty everywhere.

At this time, Liu Rengong also had various thoughts in his mind, and Li Cunxin's proposal of surrender moved his heart.He is no stranger to Li Jing. He has been Lu Long's envoy and negotiated with Li Jing many times. He has clearly watched Li Jing's rise these years.In this battle, Li Jing captured Youzhou and the military capital.

Although this battle was not that intense, he knew that it was of great significance.After this war, Li Jing took control of Youzhou, occupied Junduguan in the west, Shanhaiguan in the east, Sanguan and Hejian in the south.It can be said that after the Anshi Rebellion, the situation of the separatist side of the Hebei feudal town was completely broken.Li Jing occupies the northern part of Hebei, which can be described as the momentum of Gaowu Jianling, and has the potential to swoop down on Chengde and Wei Bo.What's more, Li Jing not only occupies Youzhou, but also Liaodong, so he has no worries about his back.He occupied Shandong Qingyanxu again, completely forming a semi-encirclement trend to the remaining two towns of Chengde and Weibo.

Everyone can see that the annihilation of Lulong Town has also sounded the alarm for the annexation of the three towns in Hebei by Li Jing.But who can stop it?Wang Jingchong and Han Jian could not, neither could Li Keyong, nor could Khitan and Huang Chao.

Li Cunxin's seemingly simple words have actually fully explained the fact that even Li Keyong's adopted son can see that after this battle, Li Jing is already invincible in the land of Yan, Zhao and Jin.Maybe Li Jing can't completely annex the land of Yan, Zhao and Jin for a while, but this will be an inevitable result.

"General Guo, what do you think of Li Yuhou's proposal?" Liu Rengong asked with a smile.He had no resentment towards surrendering to Li Jing. He defected to Li Keyong in the first place, with the intention of using Li Keyong's hand to fight back to Youzhou one day.But the current situation is very clear, and there is no possibility of reestablishing Youzhou Town.Since this is the case, it is obviously better to follow Li Jing than to follow Li Ke.

Guo Chongtao glanced over Liu Rengong and Li Cunxin, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face.This smile made Li Cunxin and Liu Rengong a little unnatural.Even if Pang wants to surrender, he can't be so impatient, it's a bit too out of status.However, the two don't have any qualifications. After all, the opponent is Li Jing, the Marshal of the Tang Dynasty, His Royal Highness King Qin, who controls the most elite army and the largest military town in the world today.

"It seems that both of you have already made your own choices. If someone objects, you may be stabbed if you turn around, right?" Guo Chongtao said.

Li Cunxin laughed a few times, after all, he is just a boy, although Uighur men are precocious, he is still just a man.Guo Chongtao's words made him a little embarrassed.He had already made up his mind to join Li Jing, if Guo Chongtao refused, he would not mind taking his head and presenting it to Li Jing as a certificate of honor.However, Guo Chongtao still felt a little embarrassed when he said these thoughts in public.

"Let's go! Since this is the case, let's surrender. It can be regarded as a way out for the brothers who followed Yu." Guo Chongtao said slowly, which moved the hearts of the Shatuo soldiers on the side, but Liu Rengong, who was the only one on the side, secretly despised him.It's obvious that I want to surrender, but I still insist on putting on such an appearance, putting gold on my face, shameless, very shameless.He looked at Li Cunxin again, and secretly sighed in his heart, Li Cunxin is still too young.

However, Liu Rengong was not slow. After Guo Chongtao said the words of his willingness to surrender, he immediately shouted to the soldiers and horses surrounded by him: "I am waiting for my willingness to surrender, my willingness to surrender!" (To be continued.)
