1152 It's not you who came to surprise, but I want to encircle and suppress

In the night, a large number of military cavalry were like black waves, rolling up like the sound of thunder hooves and galloping southward. Under Li Siyuan's personal command, each soldier brought two or three horses and carried food for several days. After crossing the pass, he rushed straight towards Yunzhong City, the Yunzhou capital.

In addition to An Chongba, An Chongjin and others were subject to many restraints in the Wei Dynasty, so they simply wanted to disrupt the current situation and seek greater fame and wealth, as well as Li Cunba, who had always buried his ambition to become emperor... Anyone who was still following Li Siyuan's remaining troops in the Later Tang Dynasty who still followed Li Siyuan, still have the ambition to restore the country. They had been suffering in the deserted land for too long. Whether it was success or failure, this time they should let go!

A large number of cavalrymen were moving in a hurry, and the sky was already bright. Li Siyuan looked over and could vaguely see the outline of the city in the distance. However, he also noticed that there were vague figures surging from the high walls of the city. It seemed that the defenders in the city had also discovered that a large number of cavalry were approaching quickly, so they immediately closed the city gates and were preparing to defend and fight.

The land around Yunzhong City is fertile and the water and grass are abundant, which is also a place for agriculture and herdsmanship. Looking at the high part of the city wall, it is easy to find whether there are any traces of enemy cavalry appearing in the north. In addition to the Hedong surrendered army, the rest of the Ya army in the Datong Army, which was originally led by Ge Congzhou, was the former subordinate of the Yangwu Army, who was originally a famous general of the Wei Dynasty, was as the leader, so it was naturally impossible to easily capture it like An Chongba was an internal agent.

However, Li Siyuan repeatedly shouted orders and still drove the cavalry behind him to rush up the horses. It seemed that he was obviously not going to set up camp under Yunzhong City, and there was a great momentum of breaking through the city wall... After all, according to An Chongba, his son An Huaipu was in the Yunzhou Prefecture Capital. As long as there were large groups of soldiers and horses in the north to attack the city, he would immediately launch a mutiny to control the city gates and support the cavalry to come in.

With the support of the old generals of the Later Tang Dynasty, the gateway opened in the northeast corner of the river, and then the defenders in the city were caught off guard... In just one day, they broke through the Datong Army's vassal capital. Not only could they obtain a large amount of food, fodder, gold and silk, but they could also boost the morale of the troops under their command, and continue to fight against the Wei Dynasty!

However, they continued to urge the horse to rush forward. Li Siyuan found that the gongs and drums were sounded above the top of the Yunzhong City, and the flags were flying. The officers wearing helmets and armor seemed to have already been ready, and they climbed the city wall as if they were flying... They led the brigade of soldiers in a queue, but when they saw the crowds, they soon covered the walls of the village, and were covered with layers of strong bows and hard crossbows.

No... Our army suddenly entered the pass and took the clouds. It was unexpected, but the defenders in the city were still in order and were not panicked at all... Li Siyuan frowned, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt strange. He was about to enter the range of the guards' crossbows on the top of the city. He raised his arms and shouted, ordering his troops to stop immediately.

Originally, he was in a state of high speed, but suddenly he heard that the order to stop charging was passed in front of him, and it was difficult to stop the momentum for a while... Even though the horsemen under Li Siyuan were skillful in riding, they cried and cried together, which also caused the military formation to collapse.

Li Siyuan immediately turned around and looked at An Chongba who was following him, and said in a deep voice:

"General An, have you told the son to pay attention to the movements outside the city. When our army arrives, he will lead his troops to mutiny and immediately grab the city pass... But now the Wei army has already set up defenses on the top of the city, why didn't the son see any movement?"

"this......"

An Chongba looked up at the city in surprise. It was obvious that his son had no movement at the moment, which was beyond his expectations... Just as An Chongba felt an ominous premonition in his heart, he suddenly saw another general appearing above the city wall in the clouds.

Gu Feng

Wu Luan, who was also a surrendered minister of the Later Tang Dynasty, was devoted to the Wei Dynasty. His face was as contoured as a knife, and his appearance was very heroic... At present, he stood on the top of the city, and he clearly occupied one side with Li Siyuan, An Chongba, An Chongjin and others. Wu Luan then looked at the swaying military formation outside the city coldly, and suddenly shouted loudly:

"An Chongba, An Chongjin, Zhang Congbin... You have let down our court's pacification, but still plotted to rebel and rebellion. However, he did not know that Xie Jieshuai had already seen through your conspiracy and intrigue after receiving the secret order from the court! I am following the order of the military. You have long known that you will be moved in the near future. You thought that An Huaipu, the son of An Chongba, would be able to easily seize the Datong military headquarters if he had stayed in Yunzhong City?

All the rebels in Anhuaipu in the city have long been taken down by our army. According to Xie Jieshuai Jun's order, An Chongba and An Chongjin Ruru secretly communicated with the remnants of the Jin people, and supported foreign enemies to attack the vassal states, and understood foreign countries and conspired to rebellion. The rebellion of the main evil and all the accomplices should be punished!"

Wu Luan shouted loudly. The school beside him stepped forward quickly, swung his arms, and threw a bloody head out. Even though the distance was still far, An Chongba immediately realized that the head thrown out by the defenders in the city was probably his own flesh and blood An Huaipu... He felt a heart-wrenching pain, and his body shook a few times on the horse's back, almost falling down... An Chongba's eyes were full of resentment, and he couldn't help but scream:

"Wei Gou killed my son! The hatred of killing his son is irreconcilable!"

Li Siyuan's expression suddenly became very ugly, thinking that An Chongba, An Chongjin, Zhang Congbin, Li Cunba... Since people have made up their minds and wanted to rebel against the Wei Dynasty, they are certainly very clear that this time they will take huge risks and will be extra cautious, for fear of leaking any noise... However, Li Siyuan couldn't figure out how the Wei Dynasty learned that he had secretly communicated with some of the Later Tang generals who were following the Wei Dynasty on the surface!?

Wu Luan, the general guarding Yunzhong City, looked at Li Siyuan's roughly position... Although he was in his original fate, he also served as an official during the reign of Emperor Zhuangzong Li Cunxu.

However, if we continue to follow the official line of history, Wu Luan would have become the judge of the Datong Army's vassal states during the Later Jin Dynasty. However, Shi Jingtang regarded Yelu Deguang as his son and had ceded Yunzhou to the Khitan... But Wu Luan refused to obey the order and still led the generals to resist the guards. He also said, "We are all etiquette people, how can we submit to the barbarians!"... Until Shi Chonggui, the last emperor of the Later Jin Dynasty, who was tough in the Khitan, came to power, he ordered Wu Luan to go to Beizhou to resist the invasion of the northern country. After Wu Luan took office, he was good at pacifying the soldiers and did not accumulate wealth, so he gained the morale of the army, but ultimately he was unable to attack the army personally led by the Khitan king Yelu Deguang, and he jumped into a well to commit suicide and died for his country.

Therefore, Wu Luan was also the kind of Han family who was extremely indignant about the invasion of foreign tribes in the northern border. In the past, the Later Tang Dynasty could resist the Khitan's invasion of the Central Plains, so he was naturally willing to serve the Li family in Hedong, which naturalized the Han and Tang Dynasties. However, the Wei Dynasty destroyed the Later Tang Dynasty and was ultimately invincible... Now, this empire that already dominated the Central Plains is to ensure that the Han people in the Central Plains are not humiliated. Wu Luan is still responsible for the duty of defending the northern border, so he sincerely surrendered...

Since he has become a minister of the Wei Dynasty, he is also most taboo to be half-hearted. Moreover, the Li family in Hedong, which established the Later Tang Dynasty, moved from the northern border to Hedong, and accepted the sinicization of a very deep level and resisted the invasion of foreign ethnic groups. Now Li Siyuan has escaped from the Central Plains to the Great Wall, and then regained the Diyi style and frequently plagued the people of the northern border. Then Wu Luan would only maintain a hostile attitude when he treated him.

After hesitating for a while, Wu Luan shouted loudly in the direction of Li Siyuan:

"Li Zhongshu, although the officials in the past respected you for your bravery and good at fighting, they deserved to be a famous general in the world... But now you and I are no longer the robes for the same lord! Since ancient times, we have succeeded and defeated the king and the enemy, and the Tang Kingdom established by the Li family in Hedong has finally been destroyed... You are still stubborn and led the remnants of the border exile, and now it is just a remnant of the destruction that harms the people of Hedong!

Protecting the country and the people is a duty within our generation, and no matter which country the Wei and Tang dynasties are, the ministers and Li Zhongshu are destined to meet here. In fact, our Majesty, Xie Jie, has already made arrangements. You think that if the traitors who rebel against our dynasty again can easily replace the north, but you don’t know that since you have arrived at the city of Yunzhong, you have actually crashed into a dead end!"
