Chapter 1335 Why the Rebels Are Still Still Proclaimed Emperor(1/2)
Yan Dong's status in the Tang Dynasty was not high.
Northern Xinjiang, Southern Xinjiang, Western Xinjiang, and finally Eastern Xinjiang.
Eastern Xinjiang does not face many enemies, not even as much as Western Xinjiang. Western Xinjiang at least has the task of defending against the barbarians and the Luoluo Kingdom.
Shi Gongming has been in charge of Eastern Xinjiang for many years and has been thinking of ways to transfer him, even to Western Xinjiang!
But every time his memorial came to Chang'an, there was no response.
Later, he also figured out that since no one was willing to take over Eastern Xinjiang, it would be a good idea for me to become a local emperor here.
He is secretly managing his own power and observing changes in the world.
The emperor only knows how to fight for power and gain, and only knows how to play political tricks, while the world is in dire straits.
The Tang Dynasty is going to be in chaos!
Shi Gongming made this judgment and then began to make preparations. Shi Zhongtang rebelled, and Shi Gongming was secretly happy. He felt that even if the court could suppress Shi Zhongtang, its strength would be damaged. In this way, his chances
Here it comes.
But what he didn't expect was that the army in the court was beaten into dogs by Shi Zhongtang.
Shi Zhongtang invaded Guanzhong with overwhelming force, and the emperor abandoned Chang'an and fled. This series of changes shocked Shi Gongming.
He found that he was wrong.
If I had known that the army in the DPRK was so corrupt, I should have taken the lead in raising troops.
He regretted it endlessly and then raised an army.
But now he is not in a hurry, he is waiting for the Northern Xinjiang Army to move south.
For this reason, he regarded Daizhou as a whetstone. While constantly sharpening his subordinates, he also used it to observe the situation.
After the Battle of Daozhou, the situation gradually became clearer, and everyone knew that there would be a battle between the Southern Xinjiang Army and the Northern Xinjiang Army.
He noticed that the atmosphere of the war was getting stronger and stronger.
He originally wanted to continue watching the battle, but Shi Zhongtang sent an envoy and asked him to attack Lizhou using the north as a bargaining chip.
Okay! I'm tempted.
Therefore, Shi Gongming promised to defeat Daizhou in five days.
On the fifth day, he did not make a random promise, but it was well-founded. The Daizhou defenders had already suffered heavy casualties, and many of the people on the city wall were strong at this moment.
Secondly, the walls of Daizhou City were in disrepair for a long time and showed signs of collapse during many attacks.
The defenders were weak and the city walls were crumbling.
In this situation, five days, he said, was a long term. Four days at most.
For this reason, he sent out scouts widely to guard against surprise attacks by the Northern Xinjiang Army.
But just when he was full of confidence and was about to break the city, the rebellion flag suddenly appeared in his sight.
"This is impossible!"
Shi Gongming lost his composure and roared: "The scouts failed in their duties!" But Shi Jian realized something was wrong, "Yeah, there are a lot less scouts." Even in a surprise attack, it would be unimaginably difficult to wipe out all the scouts.
You have to use a large army, and the army must surround you from all sides, otherwise you won't be able to surround and annihilate those fox-like cunning scouts.
Shi Gongming sent out a wide range of scouts, and the number was estimated to be in the thousands, but at this moment only a hundred or so escaped.
Damn it, where are the others?
An idea popped into my mind.
"They came from the mountains!" General Qin Ying said.
There are very long mountains near Daizhou. Only by coming from the mountains can we avoid most of the scouts.
"Why don't we know there is a passage in the mountain?" Shi Jian said in disbelief, "Aye, I have asked many times, and the people and hunters all said there is no passage."
Shi Gongming's lips moved.
Just because, in the eyes of the people, we are rebels! And what the King of Qin is holding high is the banner of rebellion! Opposite that banner, we explain the traitors! "Line up!"
Qin Ying shouted.
At the top of the city, the rebels retreated like a tide.
The defenders looked at the approaching Northern Xinjiang Army with tears in their eyes. "They are all Qingqi." Wang Shu looked at the big flag greedily, "The King of Qin is here, your Majesty, we are saved!"
"But that's the Yang Ni that Your Majesty is talking about!" Zhang Lin supported the city with both hands and looked at the reinforcements greedily.
"Your Majesty, you said it before"
But that was, after all, the rebellion that Emperor Jinkou Yuyan talked about.
Thinking of what Zhang Lin had said before, Wang Shu felt that the envoy's future was worrying.
After the defenders narrowly escaped death, they obviously thought about this problem. Damn it!
The envoy had previously called the emperor an old dog.
In full view of everyone, Zhang Lin raised his sword and shouted: "Your Highness, a thousand years old!"
What?! His Highness Chitose!?
Is he determined to join the King of Qin? Zhang Lin glanced at Wang Shu.
Wang Shu raised his arms without hesitation and shouted, "Your Highness, a thousand years old!" Zhang Lin's eyes swept over the defenders.
Countless arms are raised high.
Everyone shouted happily: "Your Highness, Chitose!"
A sergeant cursed: "I don't want to endure it for a long time. That old dog doesn't look like an emperor."
"I just want to follow King Qin to relieve my anger!"
"Daizhou has become an isolated city for a long time. The world is so big, but no one has even looked at it. I have long regarded myself as a dead person, but I didn't expect it! At this time, His Highness the King of Qin came in person. After a few words, I will do this
This life belongs to His Highness!"
"Qian Laoer, what if His Highness orders you to attack His Majesty?" someone teased.
Qian Laoer said seriously: "Then I will kill that old dog!"
The rebels want to switch from a siege state to a defensive state, which takes time.
"Array up!"
Shi Gongming urged his men to turn to the formation, and looked back from time to time to glance at the retreating army.
"Hurry up!" Shi Gongming shouted. "The Northern Xinjiang Army is approaching!"
Li Xuan personally led the army, led by Orion, through the mountains, and suddenly appeared on the side of Daizhou.
This time, the Yandong rebels were caught off guard.
Even though the men and horses were exhausted, Li Xuan shouted without hesitation: "Assault!"
The rebel formation is in chaos, this is the best time.
He wanted to charge into the formation himself, but in front of him, dozens of generous bodies blocked him tightly. Let alone charging into the formation, even if there was a rain of arrows in front of him, it would not hurt him at all.
Yunshan monks came one after another, followed by metaphysics disciples. I seem to be disliked!
Li Xuan resisted the urge to roll his eyes.
Ning Yayun rode to his side, and then Lin Feibao appeared on the other side.
Damn it!
You didn't even give me a chance to take action! Li Xuan was desperate.
But the rebels were obviously more desperate. "Form up!" the generals roared.
But how can formation switching be so easy?
Moreover, the Yandong Army had never experienced a major battle. As the Northern Xinjiang Army continued to approach, the soldiers were a little panicked and their formation became increasingly chaotic.
"Aye, the momentum is wrong!" The unruly Shi Jian said: "I will lead a team of people to counterattack."
Behind him, a group of cavalry had been assembled and on standby. Everyone was looking at Shi Gongming.
He spoke slowly, "Stop the Northern Xinjiang Army with one unit, and retreat, the big army!"
What?
Shi Jian said in disbelief: "Aye, the Northern Xinjiang Army only has more than 10,000 cavalry!"
"Withdraw!" Shi Gongming waved his hand.
Before he finished speaking, the Northern Xinjiang Army came up.
A group of people in front of them fell on their backs, and then a group of cavalry sharply broke through the formation of the Yandong rebels.
The already loose formation suddenly fell into chaos.
Immediately, the following Northern Xinjiang cavalry continued to expand the breakthrough. Shi Jian's face turned pale, and only at this moment did he know that Shi Gongming's judgment was absolutely correct.
To be continued...
