And in Tongguan City, there are also corpses all over the place. As the last general of the Daqi New Dynasty and the guardian to the east of Gyeonggi, the guardian of Tongguan Ma Weizhi and his many generals; he just fell to the former Shaanxi Observatory, and now the general of the Daqi Xiaowei, the Ministry of War is on the left. The servant Wang Chongying took the sword from the "reinforcement" brought by Shanzhou in Hezhong Town.

Afterwards, a military general who took refuge in the local area as an internal correspondent cautiously asked for instructions:

"Zuo Bing, no, Lian Shuai is on the top, what should we do next

"Naturally, business as usual, you don't even have to change the banner..."

However, Wang Chongying said without hesitation, who had long been involved in the case:

"This...and why?"

However, the generals on the left and right became more confused.

"Naturally continue to watch it change..."

However, Wang Chongying said with a slightly energetic eyebrows:

"Since the gateway to the east of Gyeonggi and even Guannei is in my hand, the exchanges between Kanto and Kansai are not a word of my generation? If so, why should I rush to do something right away? Don't talk about Chang'an. If you win, you have to rely on and tolerate our generation. Isn’t it already invincible?"

He suddenly remembered that before he was let go, he was crying and swearing forgiveness and vowing to live, as well as the meaningful eyes and expressions from the prime minister Zheng Tian; could it be that all of this is in the calculation and expectation of the other party Among them? But at this point no matter what, he couldn't look back anymore. Even if his younger brother Hezhong Jiedu made Wang Chongrong personally lead the troops, it was the same.

At the same time, in Fenzhou, in the hinterland of Hedong Road, Wang Chongrong was also immediately looking at the banner of Jiexiu City in a draped Hezhong Jiedu. He is not unfamiliar with this city. Just a few months ago, when he led a large army into the northern capital of Taiyuan Mansion, he also temporarily stopped stationed in this small city.

Then continue from here, and successively sank Pingyao, Qixian, Wenshui, and Qincheng. They also slaughtered the dangerous terrain in the mountains, but the local clans who resisted to the end, one of the branches of the Wang family of Qixian. The entrenched Zhang Nanbao. This is also the place where Taizong captured Song Jingang, the remnant of the Hebei Army, after the Battle of Bobi, the founding country of the dynasty.

However, this dangerous and large fortress rising from the mountain certainly protected the many wealthy families who avoided disasters among the many insurgents and bandits. However, they did not have the ability to withstand the Hezhong Army, and the Yuanshan Camp, which was formed by the Shanpeng children, took advantage of the night-climbing sneak attack; therefore, there were eleven families, including the Wang Clan of Jiexiu, with thousands of people regardless of age. Was completely killed. The only remaining women were also sold by the camp.

Suddenly the local tremor, although a large number of stray bandits and mountain huts came to join and gather in the river army, vying to be the forerunner and guide; but it also caused widespread panic among the local wealthy surnames, and they rushed to the family. Fleeing to Taiyuan Mansion with the old and the young. Therefore, before the troops came to Taiyuan Mansion, the Hezhong Army had to face only the remaining defenders and spontaneous soil regiments along the way.

However, it was clear that they were a little bit happy too early. And the Hezhong army, which was like a broken bamboo, inevitably ignored some local signs with arrogance and complacency. As a result, it suddenly appeared around Taiyuan in the open terrain (Jinzhong Plain). The Hezhong Army suffered a big loss first.

Guo Zhang, the vanguard of the Hezhong Majun, was killed or captured on the spot, and all the 5,000 light soldiers that had arrived under the northern capital were wiped out. Then these triumphal troops who had gained power chased after defeat and retreated all the way, and hit the original formation where Wang Chongrong was. Then they set up a fortress on the Hulishui River where Qixian County and Pingyao were handed over, and they failed to gain the upper hand in more than a dozen games.

Then after the news of this defeat and setback spread, the situation along the way occupied by the Hezhong Army also took a turn for the worse; those tutu groups and soldiers who had fallen under the wind also surrendered and rebelled. Therefore, under the crisis that both the rear road and the food road were in danger of being cut off, Wang Chongrong could only burn down the carts and horses that he could not take away, and led his troops to retreat with hatred.

However, in front of the Daibei Fan Cavaliers who are good at rushing and looting, it is not a simple thing to want to retreat calmly all over the body. Wang Chongrong personally led the tooth soldiers, Shaking Mountain, and Feiba to be the queens of the palace and fought and walked. After falling down all the way, he was able to retreat into the narrow Fenshui River valley.

Then under the Hidden Spring Mountain, relying on the terrain of "the stone cliff is extremely dangerous, the wall is solid and the sky is solid"; he used the former Jinzhou soldiers who retreated first as a response and ambush, and fought back against the Shatuo chasers. Mi Cunzhuang, the governor of the Nine Houses of Sager, captured the Lanchi Governor of Liuhuzhou in search of eight laurels. . . .

(The so-called Saga Jiufu is to resettle Li Tehu, headed by the nine surnames of Zhaowu, who moved to the east, and set up nine Chengbangfu soldiers under the name of the Lingzhou Dudufu. Then they will be dispatched in proportion to the military government. The so-called Liuhu Prefecture refers to the Lu, Li, Han, Sai, Yi, and Qi 6 regions set up between the Ling and Xia states in the early Tang Dynasty (now Ningxia, northern Shaan and southern Ikezhao League in Inner Mongolia). A Hurenzhou is also the main vassal force after the rise of Shatuo)

However, when Wang Chongrong wanted to use this as a turning point to counterattack the Sha Tuo soldiers and horses in Taiyuan Mansion once again, another accident occurred in Jiexiu City, which was a grain platform a few miles away. As the former Jiexiu County magistrate Li Wancheng, he suddenly took the city's surname Jiading to kill the deputy envoy of the Hezhong Food Institute, Wang Chongrong's wife and brother Zhang Faliu, and rejected most of the Hezhong army outside the city.

At this time, the winter has come to snow, and the morale and patience of the army will be exhausted. Under the threat of the heavy snow blocking the mountain and blocking the road, Wang Chongrong had no choice but to comply with the inner voice, and then continued to dismiss the teacher and retreated all the way back to the Yindiguan that he originally occupied. After the beginning of the spring, a new round of offensive will be reorganized.

However, after he met the messenger who came to seek the covenant with Heyang Zhuge Shuang, it was not until he had already missed the best opportunity. Because, just as he countered the Shatuo soldiers and horses, the Shatuo people who divided their troops into the land of the Shangdang were also attacked by the Chengde army and the Heyang army at the same time, and the Youzhou Li Keju who invaded Daibei. , Shatuo's army, who had just entered the northern capital and had an unsteady foothold, was so-called as having no time to deal with it.

Therefore, Wang Chongrong was more concerned about the fact that he had seized the land of dozens of counties in the Fen, Shi, and Bi prefectures from Hedong Town, compared with the enlistment/assistance messengers sent by Tongguan. In order to consolidate the control and authority of the Hezhong Army in the local area, he did not hesitate to kill him in the hope of purging the local old gens. Coupled with the previous slaughter of clothes in Zhang Nanbao, he further confirmed his status among the scholars in disguise The name "Thief handsome" and "Cool poison".

For this reason, chaos was once caused in the Hezhong Army. The officials headed by Jinzhou Governor Shi Wang Shifeng actually wanted to assassinate him at the banquet, but in the end he was beheaded by the tooth general Chang Xingru himself. However, the riots and liquidation caused by this have made the Hezhong Army even more innocent. Therefore, he only sent three thousand new pawns led by his cousin Wang Guan to symbolically enter the Tongzhou Xieshou.

Then the man and horse led by Wang Guan, together with several other reinforcements from the Kanto area who borrowed the Hangu Road, entered Guanzhong like a stone sinking, and there was no news. And Wang Chongrong, who had been in the army for a whole winter, couldn't wait to embark on the journey north when the ice and snow had just melted;

And this time he secretly formed an alliance with him in an attempt to advance and retreat together, in addition to the Heyang Army from Zhuge Shuang, Huaizhou, as well as the newly appointed commander Wang Rong, who is eager to establish military merits and authority, and his subordinates to become the German army; Li Keju, who attacked the city on his own initiative, and the four-way army attacked Hedong. How long could those Shatuo people resist

But now in Wang Chongrong’s view, the rugged ox-horn flags and bucktail flags that originally had the characteristics of Shatuo on the head of Jiexiu City have been replaced with more central-earth characteristics, and the corresponding flags have also become The word "Li" is a big fight, as if laughing at them outsiders in the trembling wind out of thin air.

Although Wang Chongrong’s current opponent is still from the Shatuo forces between the mountains of Daibei and the grasslands outside the Great Wall, he met again after a winter dormant forehead, only to find that the other party seemed to have changed their surnames from top to bottom. The Han family. For example, the former sage Zhu Xieyi was renamed Li Keyong in an imposing manner, and the heir of the clan of this dynasty, Cao Wang, became his own.

The generals of the Fan Hus under his command also changed their names and surnames in every way. These Fans outside the Great Wall who didn't even know their ancestors were just like the Han family who had become a serious Han family overnight. For example, Li Tehu, a general named Jian Hu Ji, changed his name to Shi Shaoyong; and one of his fake sons, Miao Jilie, was renamed Li Siyuan, and An Jingsi was renamed Li Cunxiao. . All of them have become branches of my Datang clan.

What's even more outrageous is that their activities of masquerading as monkeys and pretending to be surnames have also been publicly recognized by the local family of Qixian and Jinyang, the head of the five surnames and seven hopes, the main branch of the Taiyuan Wang clan, and the head of the local family. And endorsement; even grandly in the name of the newly formed Beidu Liusi, they traced their origins to some of the heroes of the dynasty who were naturalized at the time of the founding of the dynasty.

Seeing that the wild Hu outside the Great Wall actually colludes with the Beidu clan, is there anything more ridiculous than this in the world? Of course, after careful argumentation, the family background of Wang Chongrong brothers is not considered high. From his great grandfathers, he was a refugee from Hedong who was seeking life around Xiechi, and then from his grandparents and fathers, he became one of the leaders of these Yan Ding and Yafu.

Then with the continuous battles between the Tang court and the vassal towns, they also applied for the army and gained fame; and even gathered their wealth and tribes with this. And his father was an official to the Hezhong Cavalry, inspecting the school's Yanzhou Provincial Governor, and he began to become one of the generations of military households and young generals in the Hezhong area; and Wang Chongrong’s generation simply seized the opportunity, gathered crowds to rush and overthrow The imperial court's handsome, grandly pushed himself into the back position.

In his early years, he wanted to join the Wang family, but was turned away from the old things. But in any case, he was a dignified native of Tang Dynasty, and he was born in the pretending clan of Zhu Xieyi Sheng who looked down on Zhu Xieyi, but was born in chieftain Bian Pangfan. Therefore, this time he also played the original and clear source, cutting off the banner of stealing the northern capital. (End of this chapter)
