Chen Qingzhi led 30,000 defeated troops, set out from Gongxian County, and marched north day and night.After passing through Xingyang, he was discovered by the Tang general Yuan Tianmu and sent troops to attack his rear.Chen Baipao was furious, personally beating the drum to cheer, morale was greatly boosted, and before the drum stopped, the brave Jin army climbed the city wall and conquered Xingyang.Before and after the battle, the Xingyang army reported to the capital, and the white-robed army exposed its whereabouts.At the same time, the Jin army plundered grain and grass supplies from the city, and did not linger on patrol, and continued to advance lightly.The capital received the military report, and the ministers were shocked.Seeing that the soldiers were coming, the empress personally drafted an edict and quickly went to the front-line military camp to transfer troops and defend Gyeonggi.However, Chen Qingzhi's attack was too sudden and too fast, and he came back to his senses at this time, and the reinforcements had no time to come back.A day later, the white-robed army broke through the tiger prison again, annihilated 20,000 defenders, and replenished grain and grass again.At this time, most of their thousand-mile run has been completed, and they are getting closer and closer to Chang'an.The Northern Tang Dynasty is in danger.The people in the capital were panicked and turbulent.Some courtiers have already begun to admonish the emperor to abandon the city and flee north, temporarily avoiding the edge of Chen Baipao.The empress was furious, reprimanded the ministers, and secretly ordered Wu'an Hou Du Ruhui to go to Longxi, and urgently dispatched his own troops to defend against the enemy.However, the military report sent back by Du Ruhui surprised her.Wang Jian led the Youzhou rebels to attack Longxi, and with the cooperation of King Yong Gaozhan, they fought fiercely with Xiao Tieyu's pro-army for several days, and both sides suffered heavy losses.The battle situation was extremely anxious, and the 70,000 pro-army troops were too busy to take care of themselves, and they could no longer get out, so they quickly rushed to the capital.In this way, at the most critical moment, even the hidden back hand can not be used.The empress was completely flustered, not as calm as before, and she realized that the greatest crisis was coming.Not only did there be a rebellion in the southern battlefield, but the rebels also took the initiative to attack Longxi, and there was too much information here.Obviously, Wang Jian knew about the existence of that secret pro-army, and leaving the front line to go north was by no means a temporary idea, but a premeditated plan.The mutiny turned out to be the Youzhou Army again.They have been stationed in the north for many years, and if they hide their antipathy and wait for the time to move, they are very likely to collude with Beihai.In front of him, Tu Poor Dagger saw that since Wang Wei had entangled the private army set up for Beihai, then Beihai would also make a big move.At this juncture, there is a white-robed army in the south to attack Chang'an, if Beihai rises up again and takes advantage of the weakness, then, the Northern Tang Dynasty has no troops to defend, and it will face the crisis of annihilation.The situation is imminent, what to do The most trusted minister around the empress is only Yuan Benxi.In the face of the biggest chaos since the beginning of the dynasty, she can only count on this countryman who has been sick for many years to stand up and give advice for her to keep the throne and the country.Yuan Benxi was calm-headed and immediately helped her clear her chaotic thoughts.He believes that the most difficult trouble at present is the menacing Chen Qingzhi.If you don't block him, hold the capital first, and worry that the rebels in Beihai will be redundant.The problem is that it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.The Beihai Road is far away, even though the momentum is large, you can slowly try it, but the white robe is close at hand, and the defense of the capital is very weak, and the troops are stretched, I am afraid it will be difficult to suppress the sharp spirit of the white robe army all the way.At this time, the empress felt lucky, fortunately she didn't let Ren Zhen take the entire tiger guard away, and left 20,000 horses to garrison in the Tiger Hill Fortress.It is most suitable for this elite to face the white robe, but the odds of victory are difficult to predict.Chen Qingzhi is known as the god of war, and he has been on the battlefield all his life, except for the recent loss to Ren Zhen, he has no defeat.In the face of such a powerful opponent, who should be sent to sit in Tiger Hill in order to hold the last line of defense This battle is directly related to the survival of the capital, and there is no room for loss, which means that in addition to Ren Zhen, there must be someone who seeks a victory from the undefeated white robe.This is an extremely difficult task.Yuan Benxi sat in front of the empress and was silent for a long time before finally standing up and saying a word gloomily.I'll do it anyway.Who can match Chen Qingzhi's self-appointed Tianxing After his death, looking at the current Northern Tang Dynasty, it seems that there is only one answer left.The national warrior fights in white robes.The empress stared at the thin Yuan Benxi, her eyes were ruddy.Yuan Benxi has been exhausted all the year round, his mind is overdepleted, and he has been sick for many years, and his condition is getting worse, especially in the past six months, his old state has become more and more obvious, and he no longer has the former look.When he was seriously ill, he had to go into battle in person to face the strongest opponent, and he didn't know if he could regain his strength.The opponent is a white robe, and he is not sure of victory.But the building was about to fall, and he had to stand up and turn the tide.In the early morning of the next day, in the misty white fog, a generation of countrymen left Chang'an.The good name of Guoshi did not originally belong to Yuanbenxi.His predecessor was also a powerful man.He crisscrossed the six northern countries, lobbied the heroes, and with his three-inch tongue, he successfully provoked the five countries to attack the Tang Dynasty and opened the curtain of the late Spring and Autumn War.When Liao Rushen showed his skills, Yuan Benxi was still just a fledgling offspring, playing the role of a think tank and strategist by Ren Tianxing's side, and he did not have too much fame.The king was defeated, the smoke of the chaotic war dissipated, and later the north was unified, and Liao Rushen, a scholar of the Spring and Autumn Period, withdrew from the historical stage and was imprisoned in Xiling Taoshan.Yuan Benxi came from behind, took the line of the empress, and gradually emerged, successively eradicating Ren Tianxing and other heroes, leading the way.The name of the countryman changed hands from there.Now, Chen Baipao attacked alone, Yuan Benxi personally faced the battle, and the two heroes confronted each other, attracting everyone's attention, but no one knew that in Chang'an City, the previous generation of national soldiers had been dormant for a long time and was about to move.After the Battle of Xiegu, Liao Rushen came to the capital one step earlier than Ren Zhen and was honored as a guest by Wu Jiusi, the king of Liang.For this Spring and Autumn Demon Leader, King Liang is like a teacher and obedient to his words.A few months ago, King Liang invited Ren Zhen to a banquet and tried to take him into wings, which was Liao Rushen's idea.It's a pity that King Liang was too stupid to understand his intentions, and refused to let go of the prince's prestige, which was ultimately self-defeating.Chapter 222 He was very angry, regretted that he didn't know anyone, and he wanted to abandon King Liang and go.But he re-emerged this time, in order to display his talents and ambitions, and he wanted to stir up the situation, but he couldn't find a master worthy of assistance, so he had to live in the palace of King Liang and wait for the time to move.Today, after hearing the news from the palace, he was keenly aware that the opportunity to emerge had arrived.In troubled times, he is an old hero, and what he likes most is to fish in troubled waters in troubled times and show his clever means.He sent someone to call King Liang into his house.King Liang saw that he was rarely invited, and rushed over happily, and said happily: "I haven't seen you for a few days, what does the old gentleman have to say" Liao Rushen sat at the table, drooped his eyelids, and said: "The prince thinks that your vision and courage are better than that of King Yong" King Liang was stunned, sat down next to him, and replied lightly: "Other people's words, I dare not boast, compared with Gao Zhan's stupid pig, this king is far better than him" In order to compete for the position of prince, he has always regarded Gao Zhan as an enemy, and secretly sent people to belittle and damage Gao Zhan's image.In his eyes, Gao Zhan is stupid and unworthy of being compared to him.Liao Rushen glanced at him and sneered slightly: "The prince probably doesn't know yet, according to the secret report of my subordinates, Gao Zhan colluded with the Youzhou army and is fighting fiercely with the private army raised by His Majesty.As for you, I'm afraid you don't even know about the existence of a private army. ”King Liang's face changed suddenly.He really didn't know that the empress still had a private army.Liao Rushen saw it in his eyes and said indifferently: "If you are determined to be in the Ninth Five-Year Plan, you can't continue to mess around like this."
If nothing else, you have to show me how good you are better than Gao Zhan. ”King Liang suddenly got up, shook his way to the ground, and said humbly: "Xiao Wang's ambition and determination, please don't doubt it.You know, in the past few years, I have also recuperated and recruited some dead soldiers, and I have never wasted my time.Since the situation has changed, I implore Mr. to teach me" Liao Rushen was noncommittal and continued: "Chen Qingzhi of the Southern Jin Dynasty is coming, and Yuan Benxi has already gone to Tiger Hill.As for Xiao Tieyu, he was also left in Longxi by Gao Zhan, and he couldn't get out.Now that the capital is empty, it's your time to show your strengths. ”King Liang raised his eyebrows, raised his head and said tentatively: "You mean, let me lead people to sneak into the palace and take the opportunity" Before he finished speaking, Liao Rushen couldn't listen anymore, slapped the table, and his anger was exposed, "It's stupid to know how many troops you have in total, just rely on a few hundred dead soldiers, and you also want to break into the palace and kill the king, can you fight the Snow Shadow Guard, can you win Yan Yuan" He hated, how did he pick this waste, he knew that today, he would definitely choose to follow Gao Zhan, maybe, at this time, the capital has already been captured.King Liang came to his senses and said stupidly: "It's this king who is stupid and failed to understand your deep meaning, please give me detailed advice, I will definitely listen to you." ”Liao Rushen's anger did not subside, and he said with a straight face: "The matter of killing the king, I advise you not to always put it in your head."
Your first priority is to control a troop of troops.If you have soldiers in your hands, you can wait for the opportunity to start an incident" King Liang seemed to understand, "Which branch do you want me to control" Liao Rushen frowned, "Xiao Tieyu is not here, Yuan Benxi is not there, in Chang'an City in front of you, you are the closest person to Your Majesty."
You should take the initiative to enter the palace to ask for help, assume the responsibility of the royal family, and strive to control the forbidden army and the Snow Shadow Guard" The empress is suspicious, always worried that the government and the opposition will not be satisfied, and will try to usurp power and seize the throne, and there are few henchmen who really trust.Liao Rushen is right, blood is thicker than water, in such a situation, she can only rely on her mother's family and her only brother.King Liang suddenly realized that he wanted him to control the capital.Liao Rushen squinted his eyes and said faintly: "Yuan Benxi is weak and sick, and the rivers are declining, I know this."
The countryman is in a white robe, the two tigers fight, there will be casualties, and when Tiger Hill will divide the victory and defeat, our opportunity will come" King Liang remembered for a long time, and this time he did not rashly express his position, and quietly listened to his teachings.Liao Rushen looked outside the house and said with emotion: "Although there is infighting, we are all Tang people after all, and we have to stick to the position of the north and the south."
Once Yuan Benxi couldn't hold on, the old man had no choice but to take over the tiger guard and fight with the white robe.He's been living here for months, waiting for today
