Chapter 061: Who can help you?

Summer is gone and autumn is coming.

Originally in the later generations of Chenzhou Wanqiu, Huaiyang, Zhoukou City, Henan Province, was still very hot in midsummer. It was like a burning flame baking beside him. After a fierce battle in the hot and steaming climate, Li Tianqu and others couldn't help but drink water in big mouthfuls.

In the late Tang Dynasty, although there was a technology to use saltpeter to melt into water to absorb heat and freeze water, merchants in the market sold ice. However, the cold water in the cellars in the city was not as good as the Song Dynasty, when the people were more prosperous, was mostly only for consumption by nobles and wealthy families. This was an important time when the army and soldiers under his command needed to unite. Li Tianqu naturally had to share the joys and sorrows with his soldiers, and did not care about the luxury of cooling off and relieve fatigue. He just tried his best to maintain his physical strength and energy every day.

After every fierce battle, Li Tianqu, who had never removed his armor from time to time, felt very uncomfortable all day long. Sometimes he could not help but take off his armor and take off his clothes that had been completely soaked by sweat for a few times. He took the well water in the city and put it on his body and poured it on his body. Then he changed clothes that could at least block the heat of the armor metal that was hot, and could barely relieve his fatigue.

As for Wang Yanzhang, An Renyi, Zhang Hu, Jie Qing... and even the city guards who have resisted the battle to this day, the situation is probably the same.

Not only for the hard work of physical strength, Li Tianqu's nerves have been tense over the years, and he must maintain a high concentration in every battle. Even with the strong city defense, he can still deal with the enemy outside the city, but since he knows that the army that is fighting with him is led by the three commanders of the Zhang Guiba brothers, and even the most likely even more difficult-to-provoke figures, any carelessness will probably capture a fatal flaw...

It is absolutely impossible to think about relying on the familiar memory of the historical wars and the idea of ​​following the general trend to get a bargain.

Although the battle to defend Wanqiu has been hard to maintain and fight to the death, it has finally survived the summer. When it comes to the cool autumn wind, at least there is no need to suffer from the hot summer when fighting.

However, the atmosphere among the soldiers of the various troops became increasingly tense. Jie Qing regulated the coming and going of the civilians, and everyone's expression became more and more serious. Many wounded soldiers wrapped in blood and white cloth gathered under the shed. Although the injuries were extremely serious and could not support the battle, they were carried into the city, and no one was wailing at the foot of the city wall. However, most of the wounded soldiers looked numb on their faces, and they could not get off the line of fire. When the anti-military troops outside the city rushed to the city again, they had to support themselves and stand up, and still use their bodies and flesh to block the enemy troops that were constantly rushing to death...

On this day, Li Tianqu, Wang Yanzhang and others leaned against the wall of the city gate tower to rest. Wang Yanzhang, who had been walking in a dragon and tiger steps some time ago, often maintaining a high fighting spirit, could not help but show a little fatigue on his face. His face was serious and obviously he knew that the war to defend Chenzhou was not only still anxious, but also the test he faced would become more and more serious.

"I originally thought that Wanqiu, Chenzhou, could not capture it for a long time, and the thieves had to retreat after a few months. Hey! In this way, I really lost the bet I made with Brother Li, but who would have thought that the thieves were so persistent that Huang Chao's donkey bird really had to waste it with us!"

Hearing Wang Yanzhang's sudden silence, Li Tianqu smiled faintly and replied: "Although Huang Chao had moved to the world before, he would hardly be exhausted due to a city wall for a long time, but now he regards himself as an emperor. The war is too serious, but he heard that he built the Eight Immortal Camp and the Official Residence of the Officials in Chenzhou, and set up a show, and his mind is no longer comparable to the bandit leader at that time...

Chenzhou is between Bianzhou and Caizhou. Since Qin Zongquan of Caizhou has surrendered, he has taken Chenzhou and his troops are directed to Bianzhou. In this way, Chen's land is relied on. If he can defeat Huang Chao's former subordinates in one fell swoop, but now he has turned against Zhu Quanzhong, a main official army against the rebel army, he will surely shock the other vassal commanders who are already the first to rat.

Connect several military prefectures into one area. This area belongs to the hinterland of the Central Plains, with convenient water and land transportation. It is a place that military strategists must fight for. There is no day or day, and there is no two masters in the people. I believe Huang Chao would not want to escape far to Shandong. The Jianghuai area endures to nourish its vitality and still wants to fight back to Guanzhong as soon as possible... What's more......"

While speaking, Li Tianqu pointed to his head and said with a wry smile: "What's more, Meng Kai is Huang Chao's confidant and beloved general, and his friendship is very close. But the guy's head was cut off by me. Huang Chao was extremely angry and would have to wipe out another reason for Chenzhou... I'm afraid he would also want to capture me and avenge his brothers for his revenge."

Wang Yanzhang nodded when he heard this. He was a general who charged and fought. He was not good at analyzing the current situation and commenting on current affairs. Over the years, Wang Yanzhang has also become accustomed to listening to Li Tianqu’s major events and comments on some famous figures in the world. As the exchanges between them deepened, Wang Yanzhang became increasingly acknowledged Li Tianqu’s views, believing that he was really far-sighted and had the ability to achieve something in this world.

Of course, from the perspective of later generations, the reasons why many famous biographies in history, those characters who were originally between the lines or in historical film and television works that were only played by people in historical films and television works are also topics that later generations of history enthusiasts discuss on the Internet.

Li Tianqu, a time traveler, saw a lot of comments about people involved in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms periods. Not only today, many of the remarks he made when he talked to Wang Yanzhang were actually purely hindsighted. However, in this era, many of the words seemed to be foresight, but they were insightful insights that were incisive...

While Li Tianqu was talking to Wang Yanzhang, he saw Zhao Chang. Zhao Chang led a group of soldiers to the city gate tower. They immediately stood up to greet him. Without too much greeting, Zhao Qian quickly gave his purpose:

Now Chenzhou has been besieged for a long time, not only has the food, fodder and the equipment to defend the city been consumed, but the city gate guarded by Li Tianqu is the most obvious. The enemy's offensive is orderly and fierce, and the number of soldiers guarding the city is reduced... The situation is getting worse and worse, so he has to send a cavalry to break out and immediately report urgent help to the neighboring vassal states.

"Originally, Chenzhou was in the territory of Zhongwu Army, and the Jiedushi Zhou Ji had not sent any reinforcements... The situation is now dangerous and urgent, and he was so angry that he could not just protect himself, and it was time to rescue him; there was also Shi Pu, the governor of the Jiedushi army who led Xu, Si, Hao, and Suzhou. Although his position was not right (Pu was originally a general of Xuzhou, but because of the mutiny of the soldiers, he expelled the former Jiedushi, and recommended Shi Pu as the queen, and was granted the title of Jiedushi by the court, who had to accept the status quo)... But he had always tried his best to lead troops to fight against the Chaozi tribe. If he went to ask for help, he would be able to help him to defeat the Chaozi tribe, and he could also help him.

As for the first-class achievements in the battle to recover Chang'an, Li Keyong, and the Hedong Jieduan, who was appointed as the prosecutor Sikong and the subordinate of the Secretariat of the Central Secretariat, Li Keyong, recruited Shatuo's army with his father Li Guochang. Although he had a disobedient attitude towards the court, it was only a pity that Gao Pian, the governor of Huainan, had the most outstanding achievements in fighting against the Chao bandits. Although he was guarding Yangzhou and had more than 100,000 troops, he had a feud with the court and only cared for the separatist rule. He was no longer the Luo Diao Shishi, who had pacified Nanzhao, Zhenan, and chased the Chao bandits several times, and made up for the country's chaos... Li Keyong had great achievements in Pingchao's thieves, and was very utilitarian. Although the journey to Hedong was long, he must have sent troops to defeat the bandits and compete for the court to add the bandits."

Zhao Lu analyzed the situation of various vassal states around Chenzhou and even the vassal states that could be rescued. He paused slightly, and then said a long voice: "If you say that you are also dependent on Chenzhou and have no match for the Chau Thief, you must not be able to sit idly by the dangerous situation in Chenzhou, and you can also be called a strong supporter... Of course, there is Zhu Quanzhong, the governor of the Xuanwu Army who returned to the camp and regained the capital Chang'an."
