Xiao He lowered his head slightly, and a glint flashed in his eyes: "My subordinates are far less talented than King Linlang. I just feel that King Linlang has already thought of this plan, and is just testing whether anyone will come out to challenge it."
Li Chong glanced at Xiao He with satisfaction: "Okay, you have the power to follow the dragon..."
After the words fell, Li Chong ordered to cross the river.
All the boats and driftwood prepared in advance covered the river.
Fortunately, the Yellow River is not too wide and the current is not too fast. Apart from the disorganized team, we still successfully crossed the Yellow River.
After crossing the shore, everyone quickly set up camp and organized the army.
Because many of them came under coercion, after crossing the Yellow River, they knew the odds were against them. They all wanted to meet Li Chong, hoping that he would give up. They were living well now, there was no need to fight, and there was still time to retreat.
Li Chong turned a blind eye to these and took Xiao He alone to discuss matters in the camp.
During the discussion, a temporary general outside the door whispered: "King Linlang, there is a letter!"
"Letter?" Li Chong was slightly startled: "Bring it in."
"yes."
The letter was opened, and Li Chong's eyes widened slightly.
[Don’t wade in the water, stop and retreat, otherwise you will perish! ——Li Yunxiao]
Li Chong looked at these words and couldn't help but breathe heavier.
"Li Yunxiao... Huh! Someone dares to use the name of the Imperial Master to delay the war. It's ridiculous!"
boom!
With a jolt of internal energy, Li Chong shattered the paper.
The general who delivered the letter had his throat rolled: "King Linlang, then... if that letter is..."
Snapped!
Li Chong put his hand on the general and said in a cold tone: "Our actions are all based on loyalty. If I say the letter is fake, then it is fake. Do you understand?"
"Yes... my subordinates know."
Li Chong watched the general turn around, a cold light flashed, and the next moment, the general's body was separated.
Then Li Chong looked at Xiao He with cold eyes.
Xiao He quickly raised his hands and knelt on the ground: "That letter is fake. The other subordinates didn't see anything and don't know anything!"
Li Chong said in a cold tone: "You are a talent, follow me in the future."
Xiao He thanked him profusely: "Thank you, King Linlang! My subordinates have no obligation to refuse even if they go to the mountains of swords and the sea of fire!"
Li Chong nodded with satisfaction and fell into the discussion again.
....
Here in Jeju.
Now the person appointed as the governor is the prince-in-law of the dynasty, Xue Shao's brother, Xue Yi
Because of Princess Taiping, Xue Shao became in-laws with the royal family. In addition, Xue Yi was the son of Princess Chengyang and the grandson of Taizong.
He had long disliked Wu Meiniang, because Wu Meiniang and Li Zhi tried their best to prevent Taiping from choosing his own consort.
Because Taiping fell in love with Xue Shao's handsome appearance, and Wu Meiniang felt that the Xue family was not worthy of Taiping. The most important thing was that there was already a Xue Rengui named Xue who became a general.
Although the two families are not related, there is no need for another consort named Xue, so I strongly oppose it.
Even though Princess Taiping finally couldn't bear it and whispered in her ear to agree, she almost forced Xue Shao to divorce his original wife.
With so many things happening, how could he not have a grudge against Wu Meiniang?
Although Xue Shao and Princess Taiping are very affectionate now, every time he goes to see them, he can always hear Xue Shao talking about the past and is always wary of Wu Meiniang.
Therefore, he also joined this plan, with the emperor's orders and clans from all four sides coming together, what's so scary?
So while he gathered his troops and spent a lot of money to find Jianghu knights to join him, he went to the gathering place to build up his momentum and finally captured Luoyang!
Along the way, the revolters all incited the people passing by the city.
But unfortunately, no one from the people responded.
Ordinary people just need enough food and clothing, so who would have no time to participate in this internal fight?
Moreover, Wu Meiniang had a good impression on them. She distributed food to provide disaster relief, visited temples to pray for blessings, and many people took a look at her from a distance.
What's more, when people in some villages saw the sudden appearance of large troops, they thought they were bandits and traitors, and all the people in eight villages ten miles away disappeared.
There are only a few old, young, women and children left. How can they listen to their righteousness?
In this regard, everyone also expressed helplessness, and some even felt that the world was too peaceful. If there was chaos, the army could definitely be expanded.
One day later.
Li Chong got up early to train the recruited people and let them warm up.
But looking at their messy movements, he really had nowhere to vent his anger.
But raising an army to revolt is all about morale. If you blindly belittle them, they will not be promoted. You can only show a little prestige and let them know that they are capable!
So, he took these five thousand soldiers and horses to attack Wushui County!
Five thousand soldiers and horses is a good idea, with the old and the weak accounting for a quarter, but Wushui City is not big, just a small place.
There were even fewer soldiers guarding the city, only a few hundred.
At noon, Li Chong directly ordered to fight!
The five thousand soldiers did not fire a shot or an arrow. They were more victorious than the less. Just standing there almost made the people in the city give up resistance.
They didn't even use ladders. Several warriors pierced the wall directly with their spears, stepped on the spears and climbed to the city gate.
It's not that the hundreds of guarding soldiers didn't resist. Although the city is small, there are wives, children, and children behind them. If they don't fight hard, how can they kneel down and beg for mercy?
The siege lasted for two hours, and the number of wounded and killed increased more and more.
Almost all the people and men in the city began to join the battle to help out. They took out sticks, hoes, hunting bows and arrows, and some even had muskets, and even dung forks, and threw them all down.
As he continued to fight, the movements of Li Chong's soldiers all slowed down.
On the walls were common people, just like them.
Why did the two armies fight? What grudge do they have? What is there to fight in this battle?
This question appears in more and more people's minds.
Gradually, those who were charging forward at first ended up holding their swords wildly, and even took out their muskets and hit the wall with all their strength.
In this way, about a stick of incense passed, and no casualties appeared.
Li Chong glanced at the red sun on the horizon. It was going to be dusk soon. They had been surrounding such a small city for nearly three hours and failed to capture it. He was extremely angry!
Of course he could see that someone was not doing anything, but he couldn't say anything at this time. He could only pick up the sword and go into battle himself, and he was determined to win this place!
If a small county town cannot be captured for a long time, where is the dignity and prestige? Where is the morale! ?
If we retreat in despair now and attack with this kind of morale, how can we do anything better?
At the critical moment, Xiao He caught him and devised a plan to let more than a dozen people sneak onto the city wall from elsewhere, sneak in with warriors, and then attack his own soldiers.
Sure enough, as soon as this move came out, it directly aroused the fire between both parties!
What followed was a one-sided battle, and the city was unable to withstand the impact of thousands of troops.
But even so, no one in the city knelt down. Although Li Chong in front of him was the king of hell, but the people behind him were not safe, it would be better to sacrifice his life for the court now and leave a good reputation!
Thinking of this, the people in the city also became bloody, determined to fight to the end!
At this moment, a fast horse suddenly galloped in the distance, and then this figure stepped on the horse, stepping on people's heads along the way, and used Qinggong to step onto the city wall!
This sudden scene made both parties stop in confusion.
I saw the person coming, wearing a brocade suit, holding a flag with a big "good" written on it.
"I am a bad guy named Tianmanxing! I was ordered by the commander to come and stop the fight!"
