Chapter 1113: The Legend of the Tiger Brigade in the Sky (Part 2)
As late as the night of the day when the city was broken, several troops had sprung from the north city, and the gates of the west city quietly opened, and then joined the north suburbs to form a place; under the cover of snowflakes that were swaying all over the sky, they were completely integrated into the night.
Surrounded by a group of knights covered with snowflakes and appearing white and strong, Li Ke, the King of Jin from the small court of the Later Tang Dynasty, looked at the last time without any hesitation at Taiyuan City, which was shrouded in the night behind him, and left it behind without hesitation.
His judgment was indeed correct. After all, the Taiping thieves attacked Beidu City with all their strength, they no longer had much energy to continue blocking and blocking it. The three cities outside the Beidu City had a total of eleven water and land gates; after all, this was a Juyi City with a circumference of dozens of miles.
When he heard about the Tang people in the city in Jinyang Palace, they all gathered to resist and clear the Shatuo tribes, and saw the riots in the city with their own eyes on the top of the city, he had no hope of defending the ultimate goal of Beidu City and defeating the enemy.
That is, Li Siyuan, the adopted son whom he entrusted with important tasks, may still believe that he used the huge structure of Beidu and the city defense preparations, and turned it into a dead place for the thief army to shed all their blood, and even exhausted his spirit and retreated. He also had some unrealistic luck.
Because his experience at the city of Weizhou had already taught him a profound enough lesson. Therefore, although he kept proclaiming and practicing after entering Hedong, he wanted to be loyal and serve the Tang Dynasty without distinguishing each other; but while he was openly pardoned the military and civilians of Weizhou back then, he also took advantage of the relocation of his clan to regain his breath.
After all, what he could rely on and trust as his team was the tribes who migrated from the north; as for the people and officials in the Tang Dynasty, they were just herds of sheep, horses and animals that provided money, grain, wealth, and corvee. It was still unrealistic to expect them to work hard for their great cause.
But at least with the continued persistence of Li Siyuan and others, as well as the civil and military officials of the court who were left behind and the Yulin soldiers he built, as uninformed bait and cover, he was able to take several major relatives who were redesigned on the carriage and sneak out in a light and simple manner.
However, as a corresponding price, Li Keyong only brought out the main concubine Liu and the second concubine Cao, as well as several older sons who could ride on their own. As for the remaining other concubines and a group of young children, they could only sacrifice themselves to cover up their needs.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that Cao was the biological mother of the eldest son Li Cunxu, he wouldn't even want to take him on the way. With this nervous mood, he walked northward with a starry night and dawn until dawn, and had already arrived at Yangqu City, more than fifty miles away in Taiyuan.
Here, Li Cunxu, the eldest son who led another elite troops, led by the Hall and Feihu Camp, took the lead to fight the front station and also came out after hearing the news. He presented the prepared mutton soup hot cakes and a warm baked residence to Li Keyong and others who had fallen frost and snow all the way.
However, after greeting and serving the two mothers, Li Cunxu turned his head, looked at Li Keyong, who had not taken off his armor and was soaked by charcoal fire before he could take off his armor. He just kept swallowing the voraciously, and his cheeks were covered with oil stains and residue. He said, "
"Father, are there really no hope in Beidu?"
“So what?”
However, Li Keyong just threw down a sheep bone stick that he had gnawed, took another big sip of wine and said squeak:
"I and you Azu (Li Guochang, Zhu Xie Chixin) were defeated by Yaoerling and their troops were dispersed. When they avoided Yinbei, there were only dozens of cavalry following each other;"
"It's only been more than a year, and by storing and winning over heroes from outside the world, it will be a dominant situation when the time comes."
"Now the lonely Three Thousand Crow Army is still intact, and your Flying Tiger Camp and Hall are all, and there are more than 10,000 defenders inside and outside Yanmen. The situation is far better than before."
"I just dare to ask my father, are we really going to surrender to the Yan thief Li Keju? He made his father run away from the frontier, and later he harmed his grandfather (Li Guochang) and seized his ancestral land..."
Li Cunxu couldn't help asking:
"Then how do you think the Lone King led his troops back from Yanmen?"
Li Keyong twitched his face slightly, and asked in a burning look:
"I not only want to send him to the Xiong Pass of Yanmen, but also to accompany him to a Taiping thief in the Beidu City and even a whole Hedong Town? Next, my son will need to lead the light cavalry to Yanmen to take over the situation first in case there are people in the local area."
"After all, your eldest mother and Ah Mother were already a little overwhelmed by the fatigue of the journey. So I would take the others to Xinzhou (now Xin County, Shanxi) to recuperate for two days, and then make preparations for the terrain according to the terrain..."
When the young Li Cunxu heard this, his eyes flashed a few times, and finally turned into a certain firm color, and then he left with his chest and politely. Soon after, he led a team of thousands of cavalry composed of the Crow Army, the Flying Tiger Camp and the Hall to gallop north.
When the sky shrouded in the intermittent wind and snow again showed bright whiteness, Li Cunxu, who had passed Xinzhou's Dingxiang, Xiurong, Tang Lin and other cities, officially arrived in Daizhou.
At noon, the river valley between the Dong (Jing) Xingguan, Yanmen Pass, Loufan Pass and other mountains, and the ancient Great Wall and the pass were almost tied to each other, and the Yanmen (now Dai County, Shanxi) was standing between the torrential waters and the sand rivers, and it was presented to them.
When he sent someone to show the flags from Li Keyong, he was soon opened by the defenders who emerged from the wall and welcomed into Yanmen City. As a key place for many years, the pattern of Yanmen City tends to be a military block, and it is full of the stiffness and iron-blooded atmosphere of war and war.
The group led by Li Cunxu quickly crossed the streets that were cleared out of the snow, and the street blocks and posts that could be seen from time to time, and were introduced into the small tooth city that was once used as the Deanbeixing Office.
However, when Li Cunxu, who entered the hall, walked through the archways and portals, leaving behind a group of entourages and guards, and finally stepped into the hall with a few relatives to give orders;
Then, in the last curtain raised, the voices and heat coming to his face, Li Cunxu was stunned. Because the subordinates of the generals gathered in this hall were much more than he expected and expected, and there were dozens of people.
However, the next moment, his deputy had already rushed forward and walked to the middle of the upper head. He raised a golden arrow and handwritten letter to announce loudly in response to the eyes of these generals who gathered over and raised a golden arrow and handwritten letter:
"According to the order of the King of Jin, the crown prince took over the important elements of Yanmen and served as the generals on the northern expedition. All the generals were not allowed to disobey, and those who were disobedient would be killed."
However, the next moment, the generals in the hall did not immediately give the order. Instead, hesitated and hesitant to look at each other, one of the white-haired veterans started to speak out:
"Dare you dare to ask the prince, but you want to plot against the Yan thief and switch?"
"Why do you say this?"
Li Cunxu looked closely and saw that he was the commander of the Feiteng Army, one of the Yanmen defenders and Guo Shaogu, who was also a former hereditary general of the North. His face changed slightly:
"Just to stop the battle for the time being and to fight the enemy coming from the south with all your might."
But he was a young man with limited scheming after all, and this fleeting subtle change had already fallen into the eyes of those who were interested; Guo Shaogu continued to ask:
"Why dare you ask the prince, have you ever thought about how we should be able to call ourselves after Yanmen changes its place?"
"Don't speculate on the king's order indiscriminately, and don't call me like this..."
This is when Li Cunxu has smelled some subtle meaning and cannot help but take two steps back:
"Qilang, you have reached this point. Do you still have to cover up your father?"
At this time, another voice sounded among the generals.
"you!!!"
Li Cunxu couldn't help but look at the other party inexplicably; because the second elder brother Li Sizhao (Han Jintong), who should have died in the battle of Linfen, suddenly appeared in the blank space that the generals took the initiative to give out.
"I was defeated by the king's order, and I should have been in Linfen to show my ambitions; however, all the things I saw after I escaped and returned by luck made me no longer want to commit suicide..."
Li Sizhao (Han Jintong) asked back with a deep pain:
"In the current situation, I just want to ask, since Hedong and North are no longer up to date; where is everyone's way out?"
"Don't tell me that after the switch welcomes the Yan army, you and your father can certainly lead the troops to escape from a foreign land, but do we, the native soldiers, accept the murder and rampage of the Yan thieves?"
Hearing this sentence, many generals present couldn't help but look angry and excited. After all, most of them were ravaged by the Yan army in Daibei. Now, even the family members who had returned to Hedong with the King of Jin were unable to be preserved, so how could they be willing to sit and wait for death?
"Do you want to give in to the thief?"
Li Cunxu suddenly calmed down and firmly held the hilt in his hand. It was given to him by his father after he was twelve years old. It is said that it was from the Hongming treasure sword secretly made by the Li Tang royal family.
"I just want to find a way out for these local soldiers in the country."
Li Sizhao (Han Jintong) did not hesitate:
"At least, I have figured out one thing these days. No matter how harsh the Taiping Army treats famous tribes and dislikes the old dynasty, they are the legitimate Chinese descendants;"
"It's better than a foreign origin who claims to be the descendant of the State Chaozong, but never regards the people of the Tang family as pigs, dogs, sheep and horses, and can easily abandon their mortal enemies!"
"A graceful bastard..."
