12. Soldiers out of the pot

The emperor thought to himself, he didn't expect that the senior year of high school really treated the cultivation of Fengtian City as a major event. Well, although I could not leave the palace, the important town of Fengtian is a key place connecting Jingzhao, Fengxiang and Jingyuan. In the past, Xifan attacked many times, and fierce battles often broke out around Fengtian, so it was a good thing to turn the fortress into it, so he issued an edict to ensure this matter.

The left and right lieutenant colonels were then appointed as prisoners, and then selected hundreds of "old craftsmen" and accompanied by the two thousand Shence soldiers, they stepped forward to Gao Yue and drove westward from Chang'an City. In addition, in order to speed up the project progress, hundreds of male prisoners who were imprisoned were also assigned to the generals to serve as prisoners, and the group of people rushed to Fengtian to do the work of building a city.

Privately, Gao Yue quickly wrote a letter to Liu De's room where he was traveling in Yuanzhou, asking him to withdraw two or three hundred people from the camp and the city to come to Fengtian City to "help".

In fact, these people need to learn techniques such as burning bricks, burning pottery, and carpentry from the senior craftsmen who are going to work as supervisors.

After the arrangement was made, Gao Yue officially resigned from the capital and went to Fengtian City as the envoy of the Yingcheng City.

In front of his saddle, the horse was Wei Tuotian, An Lao Hu, and a few servants assigned by the court.

At this time, the street scene of Chang'an City was very different from when he came to the winter festival.

There were several yards around Shengpingfang, to the Imperial City and the direction of Daming Palace, and all the streets were crowded with countless people, and the crying was shaking. Their purpose was to surround the prime ministers and to get back the money, rice and grain that were collected by Jingzhao Prefecture and Duzhisi. It is said that Lu Qi was riding a horse when he went to court to accept confessions from the people, but later there were too many people coming to confession, and soon there were extreme behaviors against him. The people's anger became more and more powerful. It is said that many people had bricks and stones hidden in their arms and were ready to attack Prime Minister Lu at any time. These days, Lu Qi hid out of the house during the day and went out at night before the fourth hour, and quietly went out of the house to wait in Guangzhaifang. As soon as the gate of the Daming Palace opened, he went in.

Gao Yue saw that on the streets, there were angry and desperate people on one side, but on the other side, there were government officials who continued to plunder.

Jingzhao Shaoyin and the county magistrates of the Wannian County of Chang'an all rode horses and carriages, took their books and arrived at the cabin. The people broke into the door and robbed money and food at will. The whole situation was extremely chaotic. Many people who could not survive were desperate and rushed into the Shence army like a tide, accepting Bai Zhizhen's recruitment to avoid Jingzhao Mansion.

"It's really a mess." Gao Yue thought to himself.

But the emperors in the Ming Palace were becoming more and more confident in the victory of the war to reduce the vassals.

Since the beginning of winter, although Prime Minister Yang Yan has died, good news that has excited Li Shi has been heard from all battlefields.

First of all, the news came from the news that Li Zhengji died of a carbuncle on his back. At first, Li Shi couldn't believe it, but soon Li Feng, the governor of Xuzhou in Ziqingfang Town (Li Zhengji's uncle), sent a soldier to tell the emperor: Li Zhengji is indeed dead, and his son Li Na planned to attack the imperial court. I, Li Feng, would be willing to give up Xuzhou anyway.

The soldier named Wang Zhixing. I don’t know what method he used. A total of 2,640 miles from Xuzhou to the capital was 2,640 miles. He took five days and five nights to arrive and told the emperor: “Li Bing, the governor of Xuzhou, and Wang She, the governor of Haizhou, and the Ma Wantong of Yizhou, are willing to return the land of the three states to Your Majesty.”

The emperor was overjoyed and hurriedly appointed Li Wu as the inspector of Xu, Hai and Yi, and the chief censor of the prosecutor.

Wang Zhixing then asked the emperor that General Li Na's army had withdrawn from Songzhou and joined forces with Wei Bo's general Xindu Chongqing (this double surname Xindu), and turned around and began to siege Xuzhou. The military situation was urgent.

"Don't worry, I will immediately send the Shence-Taodu military commander Qu Huan, Xuanwu Army Liu Qia, Yongping Army Li Cheng, and another five thousand Shuofang cavalry to return to the commander Li Mian to help Xuzhou!"

At the same time, after the rain stopped, Li Xilie of Huaixi began to go up the Han River and approach Xiangyang. Liang Chongyi did not dare to go south to attack Jiangling Prefecture. Faced with the powerful forces of the Huaining Army, he retreated step by step.

When Liu Changqing, the governor of Suizhou, heard that Li Xilie was leading the army, he was extremely happy and mobilized the people of Suizhou to come to the east of Han to welcome the reward. He also wrote a poem to praise Li Xilie's achievements in "asking for guilt on Xiangyang":

I dare not lie down in Huainan and come to the Han general camp.

He received a resignation and looked at the left axe, and helped him to move forward.

The well tax is a happy quail clothes, and the pot is a slurry and the crane's hair is welcome.

The water returns to the bank and breaks the shore, and the beacon reaches the lonely city.

The thousand cavalry return in the evening, and the autumn wind combines the five soldiers.

Kong Zhang was talented and his letter was completed sooner or later.

Of course, what the emperor was most concerned about was the rebellion of Hengji and Weibo towns in Heshuo.

Xiangzhou, the southernmost tip of Hebei Road, has high clouds, and the vast Huan River is moving east-west, slowly flowing from the north of Anyang City. Tian Yue's troops are connected to the camp between the Huan River and Anyang City. On the opposite side, they are Li Baozhen, Ma Sui and Li Sheng, with a total of 60,000 troops, and they are also located in the camps for more than ten miles, and the sound of drums and horns are endless.

On the top of Anyang City, Tian Yue was anxious and frightened. He looked at the formation of the imperial government troops, paced back and forth, constantly asking questions such as "whether the Chengde army had reinforcements" and "whether the Pinglu army had reinforcements."

Because in the previous battle in Linming City, Tian Yue, who did not listen to Xing Caojun's advice, lost nearly half of his elite troops. For a time, Wei Bo Tianxiong's father and son died, countless:

Since Ma Sui returned to Taiyuan, Hedong, he quickly ignited 20,000 elite infantry cavalry and met with Li Sheng's Shence Pioneer Camp and Li Baozhen's Zhao Yi Army. Then Ma Sui used a plan to write a letter to Tian Yue first, begging Wei Bo to withdraw his troops and stop the battle. He would ask the Holy Lord to pardon Li Weiyue from the court.

However, Tian Yue refused to listen, but instead thought Ma Sui was afraid, so he ordered to continue to attack Linming City.

During this period, Ma Sui, Li Baozhen and Li Sheng quickly passed through Hukou Pass and approached Linming.

At the same time, Zhang Qi, the garrison of the Linming City, led his subordinates to fight bloody battles and killed countless soldiers of Wei who were attacking the city. However, the casualties in the city were also very heavy. After the food began to be exhausted, the soldiers of the defenders began to waver. Some people were afraid that the court reinforcements would not stop, so they began to surrender.

At this time, Zhang Qi called out his little daughter, put on red clothes and jewelry, and took her to the soldiers, saying that I had nothing to reward you now, so he sold my daughter to someone who still has money in the city as a concubine, and exchanged some money to give you some good food, so that he could protect the city.

Seeing the general like this, the soldiers of Linming City bowed and cried bitterly, saying that we would fight to the death to defend the city and would never surrender!

Then everyone came up with a plan to make a kite with the words "Linming is as dangerous as eggs, Ma Hedong (Shu), Li Zhaoyi (Baozhen) to save us." Then they tied it on the long line and took advantage of the east wind to make it fly out of the city's siege. Tian Yue was shocked when he saw the kite and hurriedly gathered those who were good at shooting in the army, and they fired arrows to try to shoot it down. However, as the will of heaven, the kite flew straight out of the siege and finally fell into the Ma Sui camp.

Seeing the words for help on the kite, the three generals thought it was not delayed, so they rushed straight to Linming City.
