"Li Qianha of Yan'an Mansion, I am Po Han Wu, do you still recognize me?"
On the first day of July, the eighth year of the reign of Emperor Xuanhe of the Song Dynasty, Han Shizhong's loud voice suddenly rang out outside the closed Yan'an City!
This majestic and famous city guarding the land of northern Shaanxi is now surrounded by "white soldiers" who are like divine soldiers descending from the sky.
But after all, Yan'an Mansion is the location of the road city of Fuyan Road, one of the five roads along the border of Shaanxi Province. Since the rise of Xixia, this city has been on war preparedness, and it will not be taken by Zhao Kai's troops in a surprise attack. .
In fact, after the Suide Army was defrauded by Han Shizhong (Han Shizhong was originally from Yan'an, and he had a group of fellow villagers under his command, many of whom were Suide men, it was really easy to mix up the city, and Suide Army City was not a road city after all. , the defense is not that strict), Yan'an Prefecture has already been warned.
Although Zhang Shen of Fuyan Road and Li Yongqi, the commander of Fuyan Road soldiers and horses, were too anxious to recall the archers from the camp field from the frontier fortress facing Xixia, and most of the imperial troops on Fuyan Road were transferred to King Qin or to defend Beijing. Zhaofu. But in and around Yan'an Prefecture, there are still many Yingwu families that can be mobilized - everyone in the imperial examination family can make a fuss, and of course everyone in the Yingwu family can fight.
Therefore, Zhang Shen and Li Yongqi gathered three to four thousand defenders into Yan'an City to set up defenses in a very short period of time.
And Yan'an Fucheng is a fortified city that has been repaired and built again - if you come to Yan'an to be a pacification official, you can't open up new territories, and you can't do some basic construction of building cities and fortifications?
So this Yan'an city is really difficult to conquer!
But Han Shizhong is also very good at using tricks to attack people's hearts!
Moreover, he is a member of the Yan'an Prefecture, and he is a fellow villager with Li Yongqi, the commander of the Yan'an Prefecture's soldiers and horses guarding the city (Li Yongqi is from Suide, close to the Yan'an Prefecture), and he is an old acquaintance... and now he is "familiar".
Therefore, he was not busy attacking the city. Instead, under the cover of a temporary vehicle converted into a shield car, he approached the north gate of Yan'an Fucheng and began to fool Li Yongqi at the top of the city.
"Po Han Wu, you are not a good official of the Song Dynasty, why did you become a rebel?" Li Yongqi, a tall and sturdy Suide man, saw more than ten thousand "white soldiers" coming with Han Shizhong from a distance, and he became angry Don’t come here!
This is rebellion!
Moreover, this group of rebels also captured Li Yongqi’s hometown Suide Army! Although Li Yongqi's wife and children are all in Yan'an, his family belongs to a large Suide Army family... His ancestors are from the Li Tang royal family, and he is a descendant of Li Shimin! Before the fall of the Tang Dynasty, our ancestors moved to northern Shaanxi and thrived in Suide for more than a hundred years. They have become a large and prosperous family.
Now that everything is in the hands of the "rebels", what do you want him to do? They are all descendants of Li Shimin, don’t you want them all? Can Li Shimin's spirit in heaven agree?
"Li Qianji, who do you think is a rebel?" Han Shizhong, who was wronged, shouted at the top of his lungs, "I, Han Wu, followed His Highness King Yun in Hebei to fight against the Jin Dynasty and protect the country. In every battle, we must fight for the first place... .Fight all the way from Daming Mansion to Yanmen Mountain! The number of gold thieves who died under my Pohan's five swords was not even one hundred but eighty (divided by ten, it's almost the same). How could I be a rebel?"
Li Yongqi snorted: "You have rebelled with King Yun, aren't you a rebel?"
"Is King Yun rebelling?" Han Shizhong shouted, "Old Li, are you confused? King Yun is the third son of the former emperor. The second brother above him died long ago, so he is actually the second son. Now the former emperor and the prince are gone. , what else is he rebelling against? Who is he rebelling against?"
"Who said the prince is gone? The prince has already ascended the throne in Yingtian Mansion!"
"Nonsense!" Han Shizhong was so anxious that he yelled, "Old Li, you were fucking deceived... The prince has passed away a long time ago!
The current emperor in Yingtian Mansion is King Kang, the ninth son of the late emperor... He and Dazai Zhang Bangchang went on a mission to Jinying, so they were not drowned by the flood of the Yellow River. Later, the gold thief made King Kang the emperor and sent him and Zhang Bangchang to Yingtian Mansion.
But because King Kang was the ninth son, he was afraid that the people in the world would not accept him, so he acted in the name of the prince! Lao Li, you can't be deceived... Lao Li, think about it, if the prince is really still here, why doesn't he come to Shaanxi? Why not go to Luoyang?
There are also tens of thousands of soldiers from Wang Qin's Xi army in Heyin and Xingyang, and there are also soldiers from Wang Jidao (Wang Yuan) and Taiwei Wang in Huaizhou and Mengzhou. The prince would be safe if he had these two troops. Why didn't he march westward? Why not come to Shaanxi to recruit troops? "
After hearing what Han Shizhong said, Li Yongqi also felt that the matter was suspicious!
If Kaifeng Mansion is lost, we should retreat to Luoyang and Chang'an!
What are you going to Yingtian Mansion for?
If Kaifeng Mansion cannot hold it, can Yingtian Mansion still hold it? Totally impossible!
So Yingtian Mansion is a temporary place to stay... It is impossible to run west from Yingtian Mansion. To the west is Kaifeng Mansion!
If you want to run, you can only run southeast to Jiangdu (Yangzhou). This is clearly the path of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty!
Can the prince be so confused? It's simply impossible... So the official in power in Yingtian Mansion is probably not the prince, but King Kang Zhao Gou!
The court in Yingtian Mansion is most likely a puppet of the Jin people...
While thinking about it, the "soldiers in white" outside the city suddenly cheered, and their shouts were earth-shattering.
"Long live my emperor! Long live! Long live..."
It turns out that it was Zhao Kai who arrived at Yan'an City! He arrived quickly enough, almost at the same time as Han Shizhong.
Li Yongqi quickly looked closely and saw two long white flags erected in the military formation behind Han Shizhong. Are there any words on the flags?
It is written...
"The mountains and rivers are about to reach the land of China, and the sun and moon reopen the Great Song Dynasty!"
Someone has already read it out. This man is a young warrior of seventeen or eighteen years old. Although he is young, he is tall and strong, with a tiger-like head and thick eyebrows and big eyes. You can tell at a glance that he is a general.
This young man's name is Li Shifu, and he is Li Yongqi's eldest son. He is only seventeen years old this year, but he has already joined the army and joined the army with his father.
Just as Li Shifu finished reciting the couplet, Han Shizhong's voice came again.
"Old Li, our new emperor is here! He is different from the officials before the Song Dynasty. He came to Shaanxi to make Chang'an his capital, to restore the military system of the government, to Guanlong as his base, and to work with us. Shaanxi's 300,000 warriors share the world together!
This is the official family of our Shaanxi warriors! If we don’t protect him, who else can we protect? "
yes!
If not him, who else can he protect?
The group of fighting men following Li Yongqi all agreed with this. Who among these young men in Shaanxi doesn’t look up to the powerful Tang Dynasty?
That was the glorious era of their Shaanxi people!
How good it is that Guan Long is the foundation!
Isn't it better to rely on your true ability to kill people than to make a fuss? They can't write essays as well as the scholars from the southeast, and they are just as good at killing people!
But no one dared to say this, they just looked at Li Shifu.
Li Shifu was not afraid that his father would annihilate his relatives out of justice, so he said to his father Li Yongqi: "Dad, what that man said makes sense... Those who just arrived from outside the city are probably our real official family. We should still Let’s open the city to welcome you!”
The fighting men on one side all nodded.
The officials outside the city must be real!
Good days are coming for everyone!
"What do children know?" Li Yongqi glared at his son, "We can decide whether to open the city or not? This decision must be made by Commander Zhang!"
Envoy Zhang Shuai was Zhang Shen, the pacification envoy of Yanyan Road. Zhao Kai's army suddenly arrived, which surprised him and made him feel extremely angry - you Zhao Kai, if you want to fight for the throne, go and restore Kaifeng Mansion! If you take down Kaifeng Mansion, who in the world will not recognize you? Why did you come to Shaanxi?
And what's even more outrageous is that he also came to Yan'an in northern Shaanxi... Is this the place where the right man should come?
When he was sulking in his yamen, a cry of long live came from outside, and then Li Yongqi led a group of fighting men.
Seeing Li Yongqi, Zhang Shen was startled and said repeatedly: "Li Qianjie, why are you here? Could it be that the city has been broken by the traitor Zhao Kai... no, it was by His Highness King Yun?" ?”
Li Yongqi shook his head.
Zhang Shen breathed out, "The city was not broken?"
But Li Yongqi said seriously: "Commander, it's not His Royal Highness King Yun who is here, but the official family! It's the official family who just ascended the throne in Taiyuan!"
The fighting men on one side all followed suit.
"Yes! That's a real official!"
"The official name of Yingtian Mansion is fake. He is not the original prince, but the ninth son of the late emperor, Prince Kang, pretending to be the prince!"
"Commander, let's go quickly to welcome the officials into the city!"
"Yes, this is the skill of following the dragon!"
"With this great achievement, the commander-in-chief will definitely be able to become the father-in-law..."
"You, you..." Zhang Shen already knew that the general trend was unavoidable, no, the general trend was very manageable!
So he snorted coldly and said: "Don't talk nonsense... I'll see if the official family outside the city is real or fake. I'll see for myself. When I was an official in Kaifeng Mansion, I and His Highness King Yun were... Old acquaintances!”
It turned out to be an old acquaintance!
But Zhang Shen still almost didn't recognize Zhao Kai... The handsome king who was elegant, elegant and suave back then was now dark and thin, with an unshaven beard and red eyes. At a glance, you can tell that he has tried his best to reopen the Song Dynasty, to save the world, and to avenge his father and brother!
There was such an official family in the Song Dynasty, so why worry about it not being able to flourish again?
Thinking of this, Zhang Shen's eyes sore and tears came down, and then he burst into tears in front of Zhao Kai's horse.
"Guan Jia, my minister Zhang Shen has finally come to you... When you come, the Song Dynasty will be saved, and Shaanxi will be saved. It is true that God will not destroy the Song Dynasty, and God will not lose the people of Shaanxi!" "
When he cried, the soldiers of the Western Army and the elders of northern Shaanxi who followed him out of the city all cried bitterly and shouted long live Zhao Kai.
When Zhao Kai saw this scene, he also shed tears and said to Zhang Shen: "Zhang Qing, you are the pillar of the country. It's a pity that my father can't use it in a big way. Otherwise, why would we have today's disaster?" He then said to Li Yongqi, "Li Qian governs , I heard from a good minister that your family has been loyal for generations and has done a great job in protecting northern Shaanxi for the imperial court... I must reuse you!"
