Liang Du raised his arms and called himself the General of Jin Zhengdong. Gaoli's imperial guard followed him to the death, and the rebellion quickly swept through Longyou.
They plundered Longyou's grain for food, robbed people of their axes and used them as weapons, and installed them with wooden handles one foot long.
The first to arrive on the battlefield was Anxi general Liu Ning. He followed Ma Qiu to attack Liangzhou last year and was defeated. He stationed troops in Anding and was thinking about how to make a contribution when he happened to encounter a rebellion by the Gaoli Imperial Guards.
The two armies faced each other, and when they saw that the other side was in rags, only the two or three thousand men in the front were carrying big axes, and the people in the back had only sharpened sticks, Liu Ning laughed loudly, "A ragtag group of people dared to use their arms as chariots, and God used this skill." Give it to me!"
The soldiers in armor behind them also looked contemptuous, pointing at the opposite side, laughing and cursing, not even bothering to set up their formation.
The Gaoli guards on the opposite side were horribly silent.
This silence was regarded as fear by Liu Ning. He waved his hand casually, "Kill all the armies for me!"
A cavalry force of two thousand men rushed out from the left wing, and a thousand soldiers from the right wing advanced with swords and shields.
The storm is rising.
Liang Du stood in front of the formation, looking at the enemy troops sweeping down from the north. His heart was surging. At this moment, he just wanted to fight happily. The sky was dark and the earth was dark, the heads were rolling, and the officials of Yecheng were daring. Trembling.
"Come!" Liang Du pointed his huge ax in the sky, roaring loudly, his hair flying wildly, as if he was crazy.
"Fight back to Yedu!" The soldiers behind them roared and roared, venting the anger and resentment in their hearts. Tens of thousands of people shared the same belief, and even the earth shook.
hold head high--
The violent momentum caused the cavalry and horses to stand upright and not dare to move forward.
Uh-huh-huh...
The war horse under Liu Ning's crotch actually slowly retreated.
There seemed to be a chill between heaven and earth, running straight up the spine of his back.
After half a lifetime of fighting, I have experienced not a hundred but dozens of fierce battles, but I have never felt as cold as today without fighting.
However, what shocked him even more was that these two or three thousand axemen were actually coming towards him to kill him.
"Kill back to Yedu!" More than a dozen rebel generals held axes in front of them, their eyes were blood red...
In the east hall of Taiwu Hall in Yecheng.
The trustworthy Taiwei Zhang Ju said: "The Duke of Yan has military strategy, and the Duke of Pengcheng has the virtues. It is your majesty's choice."
Shi Xuan and Shi Tao died, and Yan Gong Shi Bin was the most talented among Shi Hu's disciples. He once put down the rebellion in Guanzhong.
Pengcheng Gongshi was a man of good ethics and music, and his reputation has always been good.
Shi Hu was also hesitant.
General Rong Zhao, Zhang Jack, said: "Mother and daughter-in-law of Yan are despicable, and they have done something wrong. Pengcheng and his mother-in-law thought that the prince was deposed, and now they have established her. I am afraid that she will hold grudges about the past, so your majesty should think carefully about it."
The mothers of both of them had stains. Shi Bin was pacifying Guanzhong, but he was cruel, arrogant and domineering, which made the chickens and dogs in Guanzhong uneasy. It was Shi Hu who personally issued an edict to remove him from his official position and transfer him back to Yecheng.
Shi Zun's mother was the deposed former queen Zheng Yingtao. She was a dancer trained by the Zheng family. She gave birth to another son, Shi Sui, who was called an ogre and once threatened to kill Shi Hu.
Seeing Shi Hu's hesitation, Zhang Jack continued to speak his mind and said, "Your Majesty will establish a prince again, but his mother is motivated by advocating lowliness, so he will bring trouble and chaos. Now it is better to choose a mother who is noble and has a filial son."
Although this sentence does not mention anyone by name, the person with the highest status in Shihu's harem is undoubtedly the former Princess Liu of Zhao Anding.
At the same time, he also stepped on Zheng Yingying secretly.
Shi Hu was also psychologically affected by the two rebellious sons. Shi Suo wanted to kill him, and Shi Xuan also wanted to kill him, as if whoever ascended to the position of prince would be incompatible with him.
He let out a long sigh and said: "I want to wash my intestines with three husks of pure ash, but I will give birth to an evil son who will kill his father when he is twenty years old! Shi Shifang is ten years old now. When he turns twenty, I will be old."
At this moment, Shi Hu felt that he could live for at least ten years...
"What do you think, Sikong and Taiwei?" After expressing his feelings, Shi Hu did not forget to ask his two confidants for their opinions.
Zhang Jack and Zhang Ju are from the same clan, and Zhang Ju and Li Nong have a close relationship. The three of them actually wear the same pair of trousers.
"I second the proposal!" Li Nong and Zhang Ju raised their hands at the same time.
After settling the matter of establishing the crown prince, Shi Hu's face was flushed and he was in much better spirits. "Well, the crown prince has been decided, so my enthronement ceremony should be held as soon as possible."
It has always been Shi Hu's long-cherished wish to become the emperor. After waiting for so many years, Shi Hu has no patience anymore.
Although the King of Heaven is also "Your Majesty", he is still one step away from the throne of emperor.
Zhang Jack cupped his hands and said, "We are already making urgent preparations. In one month, His Majesty will be able to ascend the throne."
Shi Hu slowly got up from the bed, "It's too slow. I will ascend the throne in ten days."
The three of them looked at each other, but they could only nod in agreement.
At this moment, someone shouted outside the palace: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from Chang'an. Gaoli's Imperial Guards in the East Palace rebelled and defeated Anxi General Liu Ning. He then broke down the defense and coerced Yongzhou Governor Zhang Mao. He captured the county and killed the chief. Officials, two thousand stones, drove eastward, and more than 100,000 people supported Hu and Jin, heading straight for Chang'an. King Leping led 50,000 elite troops to fight... They were defeated by the bandit army and returned with heavy casualties. Chang'an fell..."
With a "bang" sound, Shi Hu sat down on the hospital bed and suddenly felt the sky was dark and the earth was dark.
The fall of Chang'an meant that Guanzhong was lost.
After years of constant defeats, Shi Hu was already beyond his capabilities.
It has been less than three months since the Gaoli Guards were assigned to the present, and the situation has taken a turn for the worse.
Li Nong asked anxiously: "Should the rebel army stay in Chang'an or march eastward?"
Staying in Chang'an will cause far-reaching disasters, which means that Guanzhong is no longer owned by Jie and Zhao. Sima Xun of Hanzhong has been keeping an eye on Guanzhong. Liang Du is known as the General of Jin Zhengdong and is likely to get the support of Jiangdong.
If we go eastward, we will be in trouble. Disaster is imminent.
Today's situation in Jie Zhao is very delicate. There is Qianyan in the northeast, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty is also preparing for the Northern Expedition. There are also various hidden dangers internally.
"After a few days of reorganization, the bandit army marched eastward again, claiming to fight back to Yedu."
There was silence in the hall.
Maybe it was the cold weather in winter, or maybe the incense burner in the palace was not working well, but everyone just felt a chill coming over them.
The original Gaoli Imperial Guard had only 10,000 people, all of whom were Jie people. They were brave and fierce. They followed Shi Xuande in the east and west and made countless military exploits. Later, they were expanded by Shi Xuan to 40,000 people.
Jicheng was defeated miserably, and Jie Zhao lost most of his elite troops. They have not recovered their strength for ten years.
Then Ma Qiu was defeated at the hands of Xie Ai three times, and his morale dropped to the bottom. Ma Qiu's still elite army of 100,000 remained in Jincheng.
At this time, Liang Du rebelled, which was like a knife stabbing Shi Hu in the heart.
It seems that there are still 150,000 troops in Yecheng, but they are strong on the outside and capable on the inside.
The most elite force in Hebei is Deng Heng, the general who conquered the east and is stationed in Le'an. He has an army of 50,000, but this force is resisting the former Yan Pingdi general Murong Ba.
Even if Shi Hu had a hundred courages, he would not dare to mobilize this army.
"King of Heaven!" Li Nong supported Shi Hu in front of the mountain and patted his back gently.
Among the people present, only Li Nong could be so close to Shi Hu.
Zhang Jackal on the side gave him a strange look.
Shi Hu sobered up a lot at this time and said, "Let Sikong Li Nong be the Commander-in-Chief and carry out military operations. He will command General Zhang Hedu of the Guards, General Shi Min and General Zhang Liang to lead an army of 100,000 to fight against the thieves!"
