Prosperous Tang Dynasty

Chapter 260 The Death of Feng Changqing and Gao Xianzhi ([-])

"The rebels abandoned the city and fled before they were killed. It is precisely because there are always such weak and unfaithful people that the rebels started from Fanyang Youzhou City and killed the Yellow River in a short time!" Feng Chang Qing gritted his teeth, and there was nothing he could do. He couldn't also abandon Shanzhou City to hunt down the Shanzhou prefect who abandoned the city and fled.

Feng Changqing was powerless. If Hebei hadn't lost too quickly, the [-] soldiers he recruited in Luoyang, the eastern capital, didn't have time to do any training. How could he have suffered such a miserable defeat.

Fortunately, when he heard that the 11 Tianwu army led by King Rong Li Wan and Gao Xianzhi had left Tongguan and was about to arrive in Shanzhou, Feng Changqing waited patiently for the arrival of King Rong Li Wan and Gao Xianzhi.

Before Feng Changqing rose to power, he had served under Gao Xianzhi's command, and the two knew each other very well and had a good friendship.The cooperation of the two may be able to overwhelm An Lushan in terms of strategy and command.

Soon, the Tianwu Army led by King Rong and Gao Xianzhi arrived in Shanzhou City, and Feng Changqing personally greeted them.

"Finally I'm looking forward to you." Feng Changqing's old eyes were full of tears. He had fought hard for many days from Xingyang, but he was defeated repeatedly. Feng Changqing was worried all the time about how the rebels would kill him, and how he could resist with only a few hundred remnants of his soldiers.

Gao Xianzhi got off his horse and came in front of Feng Changqing, seeing Feng Changqing's decadent appearance, he didn't have the high-spirited spirit he used to roam the Northwest.

"We lost. We lost all the way from Xingyang, and the eastern capital Luoyang City was also lost." Feng Changqing had a bitter expression on his face.

When Feng Changqing saw the old boss Gao Xianzhi, he couldn't help complaining and reminiscing about the past.

Just when Feng Changqing was about to discuss the battle situation with Gao Xianzhi in detail, Bian Lingcheng, the supervising army, was already dissatisfied.

"A disastrous defeat all the way? Your Majesty raised you trash, so that the rebel army crossed the Yellow River all the way and captured Luoyang, the eastern capital. You are guilty!" Bian Lingcheng said, pointing at Feng Changqing, Vice-questioning insolent appearance.

Feng Changqing frowned and asked.

"Who are you?"

"Your Majesty personally appointed the servant to oversee the army, to supervise you and others to wipe out the rebels!" Bian Lingcheng raised his head and chest, as if he was so honored.

Claiming to be a 'servant'?Isn't that the eunuch!

"Since you are the supervisor appointed by His Majesty, you should do your duty well and don't make yourself look like the commander!" Feng Changqing said angrily.He hates this kind of eunuch who doesn't understand anything, but always looks arrogant and self-righteous.

Gao Xianzhi also snorted coldly at Bian Lingcheng, but in fact he was already dissatisfied with Bian Lingcheng.

In addition to the fact that Bian Lingcheng always gave him blind suggestions along the way, Bian Lingcheng once asked him for bribes in private, implying that as long as he gave enough bribes, he, the supervisor, guaranteed I won't say a word from now on.

That really angered Gao Xianzhi.

Now is the day when the country is in crisis, and the armies are fighting desperately to put down the rebellion!But a mere supervising army actually asked for bribes from him, the deputy marshal who actually commanded the battle at this time!How ridiculous!

Feng Changqing and Gao Xianzhi ignored Bian Lingcheng and entered the discussion hall that Feng Chang had prepared early in the morning.

Staring at the backs of Feng Changqing and Gao Xianzhi, Bian Lingcheng was so angry that his face was contorted.

Gao Xianzhi never gave him face along the way, and now even Feng Changqing, a defeated general who lost his eastern capital Luoyang, dares to run rampant in front of him and embarrass him, both of them deserve to die!

"Changqing has fought bloody battles with the enemy for days and days. The elite of the enemy soldiers is not inferior to the guards of the Northwest Capital, especially the soldiers of the enemy's Hu cavalry, even tigers and wolves. Even the most elite cavalry of the Tang Dynasty may be even worse!" Feng Feng Chang Qing described the elite anti-army under An Lushan.

The barbarians in the grassland are barbaric in nature, and everyone is a born cavalry warrior, extremely fierce.After taking refuge in Anlu Mountain, he was armed by An Lushan with a full set of Tang cavalry equipment. One can imagine its powerful combat effectiveness.

"The enemy is so strong?" Gao Xianzhi was taken aback.

From this point of view, the bitterness of Feng Changqing's repeated defeats is understandable. Even if it were him, Gao Xianzhi would definitely lose to him. There is a silver lining.What's more, before An Lushan rebelled, he was also one of the famous generals of the Tang Dynasty, and his ability to command troops was no worse than that of Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing.

"Nonsense, according to the supervisor, you have been defeated repeatedly and lost the eastern capital of Luoyang. You are incompetent. Now, you are still here to deceive the people and shake the morale of the army. You should die! Report to Your Majesty, punish your crimes!" Bian Lingcheng jumped out again, pointed at Feng Changqing's nose and yelled at Feng Changqing. Buckle up.

"You eunuch, what do you know! I discussed with the marshal and the deputy marshal, and the two marshals haven't spoken yet. When will it be your turn to speak as an eunuch?" Feng Changqing was also angry. After repeated defeats, he felt very sad, and being scolded by someone like Bian Lingcheng who didn't know anything, directly aroused his anger.

"Supervisor be careful!" Gao Xianzhi also gave Bian Lingcheng a dissatisfied look.

"You, you——" Bian Lingcheng was so angry that he felt that Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing had lost face to him again, especially Feng Changqing, who insulted him one by one eunuchs, it was really a great shame.

"Okay! Okay! This supervisor will see how you defeat the rebels!" Bian Lingcheng left the conference hall angrily.

Rong Wang Li Wan looked at each other, but didn't know what to say.

"Uh, let's continue with the deputy marshal and Feng Jie Dushi." Rong Wang Li Wan asked Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing to continue discussing in embarrassment.

Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing looked at each other, they didn't bother to pay attention to the eunuch Bian Lingcheng, and continued to discuss.

"I don't know how the 11 Tianwu Army led by the Marshal and the Deputy Marshal are composed?" This is the question that Feng Changqing is most concerned about. However, the anti-military personnel in Anlu Mountain are elites who have experienced many battles. If the Tianwu Army is not composed of elites, the gap in combat power will still be huge.

"Most of them are ordinary soldiers newly recruited, about [-] are the frontier troops drawn from Shuofang, Longyou, and Hexi, and some are imperial guards guarding the palace." Gao Xianzhi replied.

"In this way, the gap with the enemy is still huge, and it may still be difficult to fight the enemy!" Feng Changqing was very disappointed. Out of the 11 Tianwu army, only [-] are elite frontier soldiers, and the rest are untrained recruits and the 'old soldiers' imperial guards. Feng Changqing has no hope at all.

After all, he has seen the combat performance of the [-] soldiers he recruited in Luoyang, the eastern capital, and he doesn't think that the recruits recruited in Guanzhong will perform better than those recruited in Luoyang, the eastern capital. How many.
