Chapter 747 Rebellion Ping 6 In fact, Xue Fengxian could not attack the city, because the military order given to him by Guo Ziyi was to besiege but not attack, and wait for the army to come to help.
Xue Fengxian was anxiously waiting for Guo Ziyi's army to arrive while feinting and scolding for the past two days, he was actually more worried that the main force of the Hedong rebels, that is, Li Huaixian's department, would come to Mozhou City to rescue Shi Chaoyi before Guo Ziyi.
If that time comes, Xue Fengxian's 10,000 people will be in danger.
Retreat and can't retreat, because this represents the dignity of the Tang Dynasty and the Tang Emperor, and they can only fight to the death.
Li Huaixian's command claimed to have 100,000 male soldiers, plus Shi Chaoyi's 50,000 troops, fighting against this 150,000 army alone, Xue Fengxian felt that it could only be a dead end.
Therefore, Shi Chaoyi actually didn't take the Tang army outside the city too seriously, he sent countless scouts at the moment, anxiously waiting for the rescue of Li Huaixian's army.
Li Huaixian and Li Guangbi have been facing off in the periphery of Xiangzhou for a long time, according to the convention, Li Huaixian's 100,000 Hedong army is strong and strong, and Li Guangbi is a newly defeated general, and the number is smaller than that of the Hedong army.
Shi Chaoyi estimated that Li Huaixian would arrive in Mozhou in a few days to rescue.
Not only Shi Chaoyi thought so, but most of the supporters of the civil and military generals under his command also thought so, so although these people evacuated Luoyang and defeated Mozhou, they still spent all day drinking and singing and dancing in Mozhou.
Although Luoyang was abandoned, for these pseudo-Yan vassals, there was really no sense of shame about losing Kyoto, and the left and right were just a rebel regime, and wherever they went, the core magnates were the capital.
As long as he joins forces with Li Huaixian and retreats to Hedong, it is a century-old foundation that will be fixed, and he can fight against the Li Tang court for many years.
If Li Huaixian really waved his army south, Shi Chaoyi's life would be saved.
And the puppet Yan regime can survive for many years.
But the crux of the matter is that Shi Chaoyi didn't know that Li Huaixian had reached some kind of psychological consensus with Li Guangbi, and Li Huaixian was slow to move, not because it was very difficult to defeat Li Guangbi's troops, but because he was waiting for the news of Shi Chaoyi's defeat.
Shi Chaoyi's military report of fleeing from Luoyang and fleeing to Mozhou had already reached Li Huaixian's army, but Li Huaixian felt that the heat was not yet yet, he had to wait a little longer, if Mozhou was lost again, Shi Chaoyi's soldiers were defeated or fled, he would raise troops to surrender to Li Guangbi and strive for a brighter future for the Li Tang court.
Like Tian Chenghei, Li Huaixian is also a person with great political ambitions.
What he values is not whether the puppet Yan regime can be preserved, but whether his family's interests can be guaranteed.
If he can obtain greater benefits by surrendering to the Li Tang court, what can he hesitate to do What's more, Li Huaixian weighed it again and again, feeling that the puppet Yan regime has completely lost the strength and opportunity to compete with the Li Tang court after Shi Siming's death, and sooner or later it will be defeated, so it is better to surrender to Li Tang at a critical point in time and strive for greater bargaining chips.
If Shi Chaoyi knew Li Huaixian's true thoughts, I am afraid that he would abandon Mozhou as soon as possible and flee to Hedong in a hurry, and he would no longer care about the danger of being embattled.
In the evening, in the city of Mozhou, there was a dead silence.
You can only see people shuttling back and forth with panicked rebel soldiers, and the people and merchants in the city either flee the city in advance, or hide in their homes and shut up, and a dead air permeates the sky above the city.
But in the Mozhou Taishou Yamen, it is a different lively scene.
The lights are bright, the sheng song and swallow dance, the flowery singer's crisp chest is half exposed, and Shi Chaoyi is wearing a thick fur, resisting the heavy cold of the late autumn in the north, and he is holding a large cup of wine in his hand, many Fan Yang rebels stepped forward to toast him in turn, and many people even smiled and took the time to pinch the plump chest of the beautiful maid who was massaging and serving Shi Chaoyi, causing the maid to let out a sharp scream.
There was a certain breath floating in the entire Taishou Yamen, the unbridled laughter, the ambiguous chuckle, and the maidservant's desire to refuse and welcome the coquettish laughter, mixed with the strong smell of sweat, permeated in the air, Kong Sheng stood quietly behind the shadow of the corridor pillars, his face calm.
The flying machine that carried him had been dispersed into an invisible energy light cluster in some way that he couldn't understand and returned to the Heavenly Eye Mark at the center of his eyebrows, and as soon as his mind moved, this mysterious condensed world energy would instantly erupt and recombine and condense into an invisible flying machine, leaving him without a trace.
This is the unconventional method that Kong Sheng wants to take.
He knew that as long as Shi Chaoyi died, the rebels would be fluctuating in people's hearts and would be defeated without a fight.
As long as the news of Shi Chaoyi's death spreads, Li Huaixian of Xiangzhou will inevitably surrender as soon as possible, which means that this protracted rebellion will be completely ended.
Henan, Hebei, and Hedong were all recovered by the official army.
Kong Sheng lost patience, the direction of this history has changed in detail because of the arrival of this traverser, and Shi Chaoyi, who was originally hanged and beheaded by Li Huaixian, is destined to die at Kong Sheng's hands.
And the rebellion, which was supposed to continue until next year, was also put to rest half a year ahead of schedule.
Kong Sheng didn't move, he stood silently behind the unnoticed corridor, a smile of indifference and disdain on the corner of his mouth.
This group of pseudo-Yan masters and servants who were at the end of their rope did not perceive the crisis at all, but carried out endless singing and dancing, and after drinking wine in the middle of the night, they hugged the beautiful women and found a place to have fun, and Shi Chaoyi even hugged the two singers next to him and did it in the hall.
Kong Sheng still didn't make a move, he was waiting for an ideal moment.
He shook his head, and an invisible energy spurted out from the center of his eyebrows, which immediately enveloped his whole body, and then he swaggered out of the Yamen of the Taishou Mansion in Mozhou, and walked back and forth in the city.
From dawn to the afternoon of the next day, he traveled to almost every corner of Mozhou City, and he even went up to the city tower to check on the rebels' defense of the city.
The morale of the rebels was actually worse than he imagined.
Even these soldiers who nested on the city tower had no intention of defending the city, either hiding under the battlements in groups to drink, or looking at the direction of Luoyang or Xiangzhou in a daze with numb eyes.
Three o'clock in the afternoon.
The smoke and dust in the sky rolled up from the direction of Luoyang, and the sound of galloping horses' hooves shook the earth, which of course also alarmed the soldiers of Shi Chaoyi's rebel army defending the city.
Many soldiers looked over in a panic, and saw flags waving in the distance, obviously the officials and soldiers of the Li Tang court had arrived.
And Kong Sheng didn't need to look to know that it was Guo Ziyi's main army that arrived in Mozhou.
Guo Ziyi's military horses marched day and night, while Kong Sheng's troops, in the process of marching step by step, detoured Zhengzhou, so naturally they had to come one or two days late.
"The Tang army is coming, the Tang army is coming" The chaotic alarm sound shook the whole city, and the soldiers who called the police ran into the yamen of the Taishou Mansion with panicked faces, waking up Shi Chaoyi and his ministers and generals who were sleeping soundly after drinking.
The rebel general Xue Song stood bare-chested at the entrance of the hall, and his anger was high: "Bastard, what are you shouting to alarm my lord, your life is not guaranteed" Xue Song drank wine in the middle of the night and played with two beautiful singers, his head was dizzy and his legs were weak, he was recuperating, and was suddenly woken up by the panicked and shrill alarm sound of the soldiers, naturally he was angry.

But he immediately broke out in a cold sweat, came back to his senses, and roared with a solemn gaze: "What did you say, the official army is coming, is it Kong Sheng or Guo Ziyi?"
The soldiers were terrified: "Back to General Xue, I don't know if it's Guo Ziyi or the soldiers and horses of Kong Sheng, the king of Jiangning County."
"Go check the order, the whole army will defend the city" Xue Song turned his head and rushed into the hall.
Shi Chaoyi was holding a plump singer in his arms, and his head was resting on the lap of another singer, the three of them were almost defenseless, and the scene was extremely dirty.
If it was in normal times, he wouldn't dare to break in if he wanted Xue Song's life, but today's situation is special, the official army arrived before Li Huaixian's reinforcements, which almost determined the fate of the rebel army in the city, where can he take care of this Kong Sheng stood outside the hall, and after a while, he heard Shi Chaoyi's angry and panicked roar from the hall, and immediately saw Xue Song crawling out.
Xue Song hurriedly rushed into his residence, dressed neatly, and rushed out of the Yamen of the Taishou Mansion with his weapons, and led the army to defend the city with Zhang Zhongzhi, another confidant general under Shi Chaoyi, ready to rely on the city defense and wait for the official army to wait for help.
Shi Chaoyi didn't expect the official army to come so quickly, let alone that Li Huaixian would still be delayed.
What's more, he originally thought that the official army would repair in Luoyang for a period of time after winning Luoyang, and after slowly recovering all parts of Henan, he would attack Mozhou and Hedong Hebei, but he didn't expect that the main force of the official army would go straight to him.
This caught Shi Chaoyi off guard, and panicked to an extreme in his heart.
He hurriedly put on his armor and sword in hand, and hurried out of the hall.
Outside the hall, more than 100 rebel guards were on standby.
Shi Chaoyi was about to order to leave the mansion and go to the city tower to personally command the defense of the city, but suddenly saw a familiar figure slowly appear in the brilliant sunshine that made him feel nightmarish.
Kong Sheng's handsome and solemn face seemed to be hazy and clear in the water, and the smile on the corner of Kong Sheng's mouth gradually enlarged in Shi Chaoyi's pupils.
Shi Chaoyi was stunned, and he was even more creepy, he stayed on the spot for a while, shocked and speechless.
And the surrounding Shi Chaoyi guards were even more dumbfounded, and were shocked on the spot by Kong Sheng's ghostly appearance out of thin air.
For a moment, Shi Chaoyi was shocked, subconsciously took two steps back, drew his sword out of the sheath and roared: "You are a human being and a ghost Kong Sheng's child, you dare to appear in front of me, it is simply a way to kill yourself, come to someone, take Kong Sheng down to me" oshow7 t1706231537:
