On the martial arts field, an army is training hard, the flag armor is clear, the soldiers are fierce, and it looks like a mighty army.Li Xiaomin rode a tall horse, standing in the center of the martial arts arena, looking at his subordinates so bravely, he couldn't help but secretly admire and be gratified.This army was composed of the able-bodied men he carefully selected from the Imperial Forest Army, named the Evil Suppression Army, and arranged a large number of training tasks for them, vowing to train them into the most elite and brave army of our time.Although he was not a soldier in his previous life, he at least saw a lot of people who went back to the past to build an army, and knew that in this era of cold weapons, the most important training method was to increase the physical strength of soldiers, so the soldiers under him had to carry heavy loads and run dozens of miles every day before they were allowed to come back to eat, otherwise, they would be punished.Receiving such cruel treatment, the soldiers suffered unspeakably.Fortunately, Li Xiaomin was willing to spend money, asked for a lot of military expenses from the military department, and put a lot of effort into the food, so that the soldiers had meat to eat every day, and also invited a few special chefs from the palace, so that the soldiers could also taste the delicacies made in the palace dining room.It was not easy for soldiers to be able to eat enough every day, in an era when many people could not even eat enough.Moreover, Li Xiaomin has never been in arrears of military salaries, and compared with other troops, he is already a rare benevolent commander.Sometimes, Li Xiaomin also personally led the team and ran dozens of miles on the road.If he was in his previous life, he would definitely not be able to support it, but now that he is practicing immortal martial arts, running dozens of miles is simply pediatric for him.The soldiers saw that although the main general was young, the speed of running was fast, and Li Xiaomin also intentionally or unintentionally showed a few swordsmanship and defeated the warriors in the army, so all the soldiers respected him, and the training tasks he arranged were also well executed.After a period of time, the soldiers have greatly increased their individual strength, and they have been raised as strong as cattle by good food, and they train martial arts every day, and the knife and marksmanship used are all figured out by Li Xiaomin and the two ghost generals, which are both simple and powerful, and are the most suitable for use on the battlefield.In order not to show his cowardice on the battlefield, Li Xiaomin also made up a lot of military knowledge in this era, and he also immersed himself in reading a few military books, and also invited retired veterans of the battlefield to humbly ask for advice.For the sake of his modesty and studiousness and the heavy gifts he gave, those old gentlemen who exerted their spare energy were also willing to teach him everything they knew.As for what can't be taught, he can only wait for him to understand it himself on the battlefield in the future.Now, Li Xiaomin rode a horse and stood on the field, looking at thousands of strong men, with uniform movements, roaring in unison and swinging his knife and slashing, the momentum was like thunder, and he couldn't help nodding secretly, looking forward to the day when he could lead them into battle to kill the enemy, so that the world would know the bravery of his army.There is the so-called "wish come true", Li Xiaomin stepped on such shit luck today.Just as he was fantasizing, he saw a small yellow door running into the martial arts arena panting, announcing that he would go to the palace to meet Queen Zhou.According to the little eunuch, there were thieves and thieves who were in trouble, and Empress Zhou intended to send him on the expedition.Li Xiaomin was pleasantly surprised, threw a silver ingot to the little eunuch, patted the horse to gallop in the martial arts, and went straight to the court.On the Jinluan Palace, hundreds of civil and military officials stood solemnly.The peerless Empress of the Tang Dynasty, sitting behind the bead curtain, lightly opened her lips, and asked in a coquettish voice: "Everyone, there are thieves in Yongzhou, killing Yongzhou Taishou, gathering people to occupy Yongzhou City, how should the imperial court deal with it, and how should the people of the Qing family "The mighty general Qin Yuan heard the voice, and arched his hand upwards: "Queen Qiyu, the old minister is willing to lead a group of soldiers and horses to go to the conquest, and he will definitely kill all the thieves and retake Yongzhou" The hundred officials were in a commotion, looking at the old general with a white beard, and sighed that he was really not old with a sword, at such an age, It's still ambitious.Empress Zhou shook her head and said: "The old general is loyal to the country, and the world knows it.It's just that the general is old after all, and the saddle horse is tired, I'm afraid it's not good for the body.If you want to solicit, you have to choose another general. ”As soon as Qin Yuan heard this, he made a difficulty, and most of his powerful subordinates and nephews led their troops to the border of Chen to guard against the attacks of Northern Zhao and Chen State.In the current Jinling City, it is not easy to find a general who can fight.Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh at the changes in the world, the subordinates were fierce at the beginning, but now there will be no one to use them, which is really a pity.Zhou Tai, the left prime minister, stood out of the queue and arched his hand upwards and said: "The old minister will definitely wipe out the liukou in one fell swoop: Li Xiaomin, the real person of Lingxiu, the captain of the commander, the commander of the water school, his subordinates are brave and good at fighting, and Jinling is well-known."
If he is ordered to lead the army and send troops to Yongzhou, he will definitely be able to break the thieves in one fell swoop and restore my Tang Heshan "The hundred officials were a little surprised when they heard it.Although Li Xiaomin is very saintly, he is only a teenager after all, and there is nothing else to show except for knowing the immortal law.Zhou Tai insisted on promoting him to lead the army, which meant that he was a little flexible, and he was already speculating whether Empress Zhou was cultivating cronies to seize military power.And Zhou Tai is the head of the hundred officials, and there are many disciples of his subordinates in the court, so he is naturally the only one who looks forward, and he has come out to protect Li Xiaomin, claiming to see his subordinates running around the city every day, and when he exercises, the shouts spread all over the four fields, and his bravery is fierce, and his fame is spread in all directions, and he is really a young hero.If he leads the army to go out, he will inevitably return in a few days.The right minister Qian Song came out of the class and said: "Queen Qiyu, that little man is a eunuch, how can he lead a large army and he has no experience in commanding the army, if he is ordered to go on the expedition, I am afraid that the army will not be satisfied, please let the queen know" Zhou Tai said abruptly: "Then according to the meaning of the right minister, how should it be" Qian Song smiled and said: "The minister guarantees one person: Qian Wulin, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, is skilled in bows and horses, and has the courage of ten thousand people. ”Zhou Tai shook his head and said: "Although General Qian is superior in martial arts, he is reckless and has not gone through the battle formation, so Mao Ran let him lead the troops into battle, but he is afraid of disadvantages." ”Qian Song sneered: "Qian Wulin has not been in the battle formation, is that little eunuch a long-term practice battle formation, but a lowly minion, if he is allowed to command the army, I am afraid that the world will laugh at me No one in the Tang Dynasty" Li Xiaomin had already arrived outside the main hall at this time, using his extraordinary hearing, pricking up his ears to eavesdrop on the movements inside, and when he heard Qian Song say this, he couldn't help but be furious, thinking: "What an old horseman, dare to say that I am a lowly slave, just like your grandson, it is not a good thing" Zhou Tai and Qian Song, as the left and right ministers, had a dispute, and the disciples, There were also many officials in the court, and they all came forward to support their favor and quarreled with each other.For a while, there were many arguments in the court, and the noise gradually became louder.Only the military generals led by Qin Yuan stood in the middle of the two sides, very embarrassed, and only sighed that there were no generals who could fight in the DPRK now, and they could not compare them with the candidates proposed by the two ministers, and they could only watch the opportunity to show their faces in this war be lost to people from other forces.Li Xiaomin listened to it outside the hall, and wondered in his heart: "Zhou Tai and I don't have any relatives, why do you help me so much Although he is my cheap grandfather-in-law, but he himself doesn't know the close friendship between me and his granddaughter, I know, it was Queen Zhou who instructed her old father to do this, no wonder these days she often calls me to ask long and short questions, and gives me some delicious snacks, praising me for being honest and willing to work, it turns out that she wants to win me over Is it because I have taken a fancy to the military power in my hands, Or the immortal arts they know It seems that they really don't know anyone who knows immortal arts, without the backing of the mage of the Guishan faction, even if they are in a high position, they will be a little worried" Knowing his own value, Li Xiaomin had a big heart, and thought in his heart: "Since I am so important, then I directly said that I want to marry her daughter, and she should not refuse sternly" was thinking, and suddenly heard the big eunuch standing in the court raise his voice to stop the noise of the officials, and Queen Zhou said in a clear voice: "Since the two phases can't make a decision, it is better to announce that Li Xiaomin and Qian Wulin go to the palace, When I looked at it in the hall, the two of them thought about how "the two phases are all from each other, and they both nodded yes."
A eunuch walked out of the palace gate and shouted loudly: "The queen has a life, Xuan Li Xiaomin and Qian Wulin go to the palace" Li Xiaomin has been guarding the door of the palace, and when he heard the sound, he walked in, passed through the passage between the hundred officials, walked to the front of the jade steps, turned over and bowed down, and silently recited in his heart: "Mother-in-law, your daughter serves me so comfortably, and it is also appropriate to bow to you."
Now I haven't seen her for so many days, I really miss her, when, should I let Li Bai come back from the Soviet Union, comfort and comfort Princess Zhenping" was thinking wildly, but listening to the jade seat, the beauty behind the bead curtain asked with a smile: "Li Xiaomin, this palace ordered you to lead the evil army, how did you do" Li Xiaomin kowtowed at the foot of the jade steps: "Qi Niangniang, the ministers receive the grace of the gods, and often think about serving every day, and now they lead the soldiers every day, strictly practice, and let them look at the sky every day and bow, and miss the virtue of Your Majesty and Niangniang in their hearts, In this life, I will be loyal to the imperial court, go to the soup and fight the fire, and I will not give up" Queen Zhou smiled slightly, and said softly: "Yongzhou thieves are in turmoil, Zhou Cheng Baobao will raise you to go to suppress the thieves, are you willing to go" Li Xiaomin hurriedly kowtowed: "The ministers are sparse and shallow, without the battle array, thanks to the sponsorship of Zhou Xiangye, they will do their best, and then die, and they will not go to kill all the thieves, and they will not return to the court" Queen Zhou nodded with a smile, and was about to speak, but she heard a burst of footsteps outside the door, a burly strong man, wearing heavy armor, stepping on heavy steps, Strode into the temple.Coming to Li Xiaomin's side, the strong man turned over and bowed down, and said in a humming voice: "The last general Qian Wulin, knock to see the queen's mother" Queen Zhou said the previous words again, and asked: "If you are sent to lead the army to go out, can you have the confidence to exterminate the thief" Qian Wulin was originally the nephew of the Qian family, Qian Song and Li Xiong worked hard to seize such an important official position as the commander of the Imperial Forest Army in their hands and appointed him to serve it, and now it has given him a great opportunity for meritorious promotion.
Behead all the thieves and take them back to report back to the emperor" Empress Zhou frowned slightly and muttered: "This matter must be considered in the long run.You get up and speak first. ”Li Xiaomin stood up and dared to peek at the beautiful woman behind the curtain, but he could only see the seductive aura of the sexy and delicate body covered by the queen's dress, and the others couldn't be seen clearly, so he couldn't help but feel a little regretful.Turning his head to look at Qian Wulin's tower-like body, with hostile eyes, Li Xiaomin smiled slightly, bowed upwards and said: "Niangniang, the villain is willing to compete with General Qian to win or lose, if the villain loses, voluntarily bow his head and admit defeat, this is a heavy task, the villain has no shame to lead, I am willing to give up to General Qian, congratulations to him on playing triumphant and returning as soon as possible." ”Qian Wulin was stunned, he couldn't imagine that this thin little eunuch would dare to argue with him, and he couldn't help but fall in the middle of it.Although it is not a victory, he also replied loudly: "Queen, the last general is willing to compete with this little eunuch to determine the victory, whoever wins, who will hang the seal of the Southern Expedition" Qian Song's officials, heard the sound of great joy, they know that Qian Wulin is brave, the ability to fight thousands of troops, just by the figure, it is enough to crush this immeasurable little eunuch, and they immediately echoed it, the Tao is a competition of martial arts, this is a good way to choose a commander.The generals under Qin Yuan's subordinates were also very interested.Seeing that this little eunuch was so bold and dared to challenge the burly commander of the Royal Forest Army, he couldn't help but get excited, fanning the flames on the side, just wanting to watch a good show of martial arts competition.Zhou Tai was silent.Zhou Tai twisted his white beard in his hand, looked at Li Xiaomin intently, and thought in his heart, since he was willing to say this, there must be a chance of victory.And he has immortal arts, and he may have a miraculous skill to win, but it is not known, so he nodded and agreed: "The competition is handsome, this matter is feasible, please ask the queen to make an order, move the martial arts field, and order the second general to compete on the spot to set the superiority." ”Empress Zhou nodded in agreement: "It's okay."
Swing and go to the martial arts arena" Hundreds of civil and military officials, guards and soldiers, escorting Feng Yuan, came to the side of the martial arts arena in a mighty way.Someone led the horse, presented a bow and arrow, and let the two generals compete in archery.Qian Wulin is skilled in arching and horses, how can he be afraid of competing with a eunuch, but he despises it in his heart, he compares arrows with a eunuch, and weakens his own name, he flies on the horse, gallops on the horse, and holds a carved bow like a full moon, but when he sees the sharp arrow breaking through the air, a cold light crosses in the air, and falls far away to the target in the center of the martial arts arena.This arrow hits the heart.The drummer next to the target beat the drum fiercely, and some soldiers shouted loudly: "General Qian's arrow, right in the red heart" Qian Wulin was in high spirits, patting his horse and galloping back and forth on the side of the martial arts arena, the arrows in his hands were not missing, an arrow was shot on the red heart, ten arrows in a row, all of them missed, and the ten targets arranged in the center of the martial arts arena were lined up in a row, which looked amazing.On the sidelines of the martial arts performance, there was thunderous cheers.The officers and soldiers of the Imperial Forest who came with Qian Wulin applauded loudly, and the officials of Qian Song's family also laughed and looked at Li Xiaomin, just to see what kind of ability this little eunuch had and could shoot better than Qian Wulin.At this time, Li Xiaomin had no confidence at all.These days, he only cares about practicing martial arts and immortal techniques, or he is cultivating immortal power on Qin Yuan, Concubine Chen, Concubine Xiao Shu and a few princesses and palace maids, who has ever practiced archery.But so many people were watching, although it was stage fright, they had to slap their horses hard, take out an arrow from the quiver, put it on the bow and pull it full, looked at the target from a distance, and shot out.As soon as the arrow was shot, Li Xiaomin immediately knew that something was wrong.This arrow, however, was shot a little high.If it is calculated according to common sense, I am afraid that most of them will miss the target.Li Xiaomin blushed, waiting to make a fool of himself, and suddenly a red shadow flashed in his eyes, but he saw a slender figure, jumping out of his arms, his body was like lightning, chasing the sharp arrow, not Yueniang, but who Li Xiaomin was in good spirits, watching Yueniang catch up with the arrow like lightning, and flicked the arrow with his slender hand, the arrow immediately drooped slightly, and under the continuous guidance of Yueniang, it shot at the bull's-eye, and shot the arrow that Qian Wulin had nailed there into two sections.Outside the field, there was thunderous cheering.The soldiers of the evil suppression army who followed him to shout and cheer all shouted loudly in celebration, and felt that there was light on their faces.With Yueniang's help, Li Xiaomin was determined, sat proudly on the horse, held a carved bow, and smiled slightly, showing his chic young nature.His hand steadily pulled out the carved bow, the long arrow was on the string, Li Xiaomin looked at the target, let go lightly, and shot the second arrow.Yueniang had already flown back to his side, flying out with the arrow, constantly reaching out in the air to pluck the arrow, so that the arrow flew in the right direction.This arrow, as expected, was also the middle of the red heart, and the old arrow firmly nailed to it was split into two and dropped under the target.With these two arrows at the bottom, Li Xiaomin completely relieved his mind and began to gallop on the horse, making all kinds of fancy movements on the horse, such as fishing for the moon in the sea, reflexive archery, and even hiding in the stirrups.Although the rate of fire between the arrows was not very fast, they could all shoot smoothly to the target, and all the ten arrows shot by Qian Wulin in front of him were shot and fell.Outside the school grounds, the troops were already hoarse with cheers.Even the civil and military officials were shocked, this young man could have such skills at such a young age.Could it be that in addition to serving his master in the palace, he has to take time to hide and practice archery every day Yueniang flew around in the air, tired and sweaty, and consumed a lot of spiritual power, so he couldn't help but roll his eyes together, and glared at this master who only cared about being handsome.After Li Xiaomin shot ten arrows, his hand waved in the air, patted her green silk cloud temples without others seeing it, touched her breasts, smiled and patted the horse back, came to Feng Yuan, dismounted and bowed down, and said with a smile: "The minister has finished shooting, how to compete next, please show Niangniang" Queen Zhou smiled happily, lightly opened her lips, and said indifferently: "You can go and choose a hand-picked blade, and compete with General Qian to try kung fu immediately" Li Xiaomin kowtowed to receive the order, and got on the horse to choose the blade.He has also learned all eighteen kinds of weapons, and he has also fought many times with the two ghost generals.In this battle, it is quite difficult to think about what blade to choose.Looking at the martial arts arena from afar, Qian Wulin was already holding a commonly used big knife in his hand, and the horizontal knife was immediately waiting on the spot.His face was full of murderous light, as if he wanted to choose someone to devour.Li Xiaomin saw that he used a knife, he didn't want to choose the same again, seeing that he was now wearing a white robe, he patted his horse and went to the weapon rack, took a bright silver gun, shook a spear in the air, and felt very good, so he slapped his horse and galloped to the martial arts arena, came to Qian Wulin, and said with a smile: "General Qian, the young general came to ask for advice, and I hope that the general's subordinates will show mercy" Qian Wulin, who was dressed in black armor, snorted, full of contempt for this eunuch-born general, and he lost the arrow just now, which made him very ashamed, and he didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, With a wave of his hand, he raised his knife and slashed it down.Li Xiaomin saw that his knife was heavy, and immediately raised his gun to meet him, the sword and gun intersected, and there was a loud noise, and the two of them collided vigorously, and the two of them shook on the horse, and then the horse dodged, concentrating on the enemy.Li Xiaomin is better, this kind of strength is far worse than the two ghost generals, just now it was out of inadvertence, and he didn't use all his strength to equal Qian Wulin.Qian Wulin was shocked in his heart, the power of his knife just now was extremely fierce, even if he was a fierce general in the Imperial Forest Army, it was difficult to take it, this little eunuch was thin, and he could block his angry blow, it seems that his skills should not be underestimated.With a vigilance in his heart, Qian Wulin took away his heart to despise the enemy, raised his big knife, and slashed at Li Xiaomin with a knife.Li Xiaomin dealt with it calmly, and only used three or four points of strength, so he blocked the big knife as much as possible, and occasionally counterattacked with one or two shots, which could also make Qian Wulin busy and tired of coping.The more Qian Wulin fought, the more frightened he became, knowing that he had encountered a strong enemy, this thin and handsome little eunuch like a woman, but it was more tricky than the fierce generals he had encountered in his life, he was afraid that he would be defeated here today, and he would lose face and lose face.Li Xiaomin fought well, and the silver spear stabbed out, like a white dragon out of a hole, entangled with the light of the big knife, although Qian Wulin was fierce, he couldn't suppress his marksmanship.On the sidelines of the martial arts exercise, hundreds of officials and troops were all stunned.I saw two generals on the field, each with their own skills, the tip of the knife and the tip of the gun, and the cold light filled the sky, enveloping the two generals.In the end, I gradually couldn't see the tricks of the second general, and I saw that the cold air was overwhelming.There are only two generals, one white and one black, shouting and shouting in the cold light, fighting fiercely, murderous, and thrilling to watch.Suddenly, there was a roar on the martial arts field, but I saw that the extremely heavy big knife flew up in the air, crossed a long arc in the air, and landed more than ten steps away, the blade was heavily inserted into the ground, and the handle of the knife kept shaking in the air, making a low sound.Looking at the second general again, he had already stopped, and the handsome young man in a white robe, holding a bright silver spear in his hand, the tip of the spear was shining cold, and it was against the throat of the black-armored general, obviously having won.Qian Wulin's face was flushed, he was ashamed and angry, and he glared at Li Xiaomin fiercely with a pair of violent eyes, hating to tear him to pieces.It's just that his life is hanging in the hands of others now, although he is furious, he doesn't dare to make a mistake.Li Xiaomin slowly withdrew his spear, hung it on the horse's neck, and said with a smile: "General Qian, I have conceded" Qian Wulin snorted, replied shamelessly, and heard the cheers on the sidelines, all of them were Li Xiaomin's subordinates.Looking back at the frightened and depressed expressions of his subordinates, Qian Wulin was ashamed, and he only hated to find a crack in the ground and hide in it.Empress Zhou was delighted to see it, nodded and smiled: "Xiao Minzi is really brave, and it is not in vain that the palace has cultivated him."
Now that the victory and defeat have been divided, let Li Xiaomin hang the seal and go on the expedition" Qian Song listened to it on the side, and was not convinced.Today's matter, it is obvious that Queen Zhou and Zhou Tai are bullying, not letting the general go to battle, but sending a small eunuch to fight, where to say, it can't be said, the current argument is reasonable, the Tao is that Li Xiaomin has never been in the battle array, and he led the army steeply, but he is afraid that he will miss the fighter plane and delay the national affairs.Zhou Tai saw that Li Xiaomin had won, and it was when he was in high spirits, how could he allow him to quibble like this, and argue with him at the moment.The two quarreled and argued, causing officials from both factions to join the quarrel.Empress Zhou saw that they were arguing, so she had to look at Qin Yuan and asked: "Old General Qin, according to Qing's intentions, who should be sent to the expedition" The two Zhou and Qin families are now closer, just because Li Xiong has already caught up with the Yinshan faction, which makes the two families who know the power of the immortal family feel threatened, so they have to temporarily join forces to fight against the Qian family.Now that the generals of Qin Yuan's subordinates are not in Jinling, it stands to reason that Qin Yuan has to sell his favor to the Zhou family.What's more, although Li Xiaomin has been deeply cultivated by Empress Zhou recently, he is already vaguely regarded as a member of the Zhou Tai faction, and he is still the godbrother of Qin Yuan's granddaughter.Qin Yuan took a step, bowed his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Since Niangniang asked about the old minister, the minister had no choice but to raise the virtuous and not avoid his relatives: the minister Bao raised one person, but the concubine Qin of the dynasty, although she was a daughter, she went out with the army since she was a child, and she has experienced many battles.And skilled in martial arts, no less than a general in the army, more than ten years ago, he personally fought with the enemy general in front of the old minister, and killed the enemy general under the horse.If she commands the troops, she will definitely be able to break the enemy in one fell swoop and sweep away the thieves" The officials of the two factions next to him were waiting for him to come out to speak, and they couldn't help but be surprised that he would push his daughter into battle.Speaking of the trend of female generals fighting, it has also been around for a long time in the Southern Tang Dynasty.The wife of Li Zhihao, the first Tang Emperor of that year, was also born in a family of military generals, and after becoming the queen, she often presided over government affairs.There was a general who disobeyed the women's rule and supported the army to rebel, at that time Li Zhihao was sick and could not go out, his queen actually led the army in person, beheaded the rebel general and came back, so that Li Zhihao was pleasantly surprised and admired, the Tao is a generation of female heroes, which is enough to make men ashamed.Since then, the status of women in the Southern Tang Dynasty has been much higher, at least in the royal family, women are also highly valued, and the queen's concubines have led the army to fight and wipe out the rebels, and there have been several times in three hundred years.Compared to other countries, it is much different.This time, Qin Yuan's recommendation of his daughter to fight was not too shocking.Those generals were excited, although they did not have the qualifications and ability to lead the army, but it was also a good thing to be able to nominate the concubines of their own faction to fight, they all clamored on the side, desperately saying good things for Qin Guifei, and the officials of the other two factions were not convinced, and the three factions were arguing at the moment, and they could hardly hear who said what.Empress Zhou frowned slightly, raised her jade hand lightly, and the big eunuch who was waiting by Feng Yuan understood, and said loudly: "The silent queen mother is here, don't disturb Feng Jia" The voices of the officials gradually lowered, returned to calm, raised their eyes to look at Queen Zhou, and waited for her ruling.Empress Zhou groaned slightly, and under the eyes of everyone, she should not be too partial to the little people, so she said indifferently: "Since General Qin recommended it, I ordered Qin Guifei to hang up the seal and go on the expedition, with General Li as the deputy marshal, leading the evil army and serving as the vanguard." ”Zhou Tai watched from the side, glanced at Queen Zhou, and knew in his heart: Although Xiao Minzi is outstanding in martial arts and immortals, he is too young to convince the public after all, and he only hates that there are no outstanding military talents on his side.In particular, his attainments in the immortal law are very important to his own side, and whether he can seize the military power is secondary.It is better to send Qin Yuan's daughter to take command of the expedition, sell face to Qin Yuan, and the two families join forces to fight against the Qian family and the Xiuzhen Dao Sect behind them.Seeing such a scene, Xiao Minzi couldn't help but be grateful to Queen Zhou for her kindness, and such an arrangement could be regarded as satisfactory.Zhou Tai made up his mind, bowed upward, and said: "What the queen said is extremely true, and the minister has no objection." ”The officials of his faction, together with the generals, preached that the queen was fair and reasonable, and everyone was convinced.Seeing this scene, Qian Song knew that the two families joined forces, and he couldn't please him for the time being, so he could only grit his teeth and endure it, but there was a smile on his face, and he bowed his head to say that he was willing to obey the queen's arrangement.In this way, Li Xiaomin became the deputy commander of the Southern Expedition to quell the rebellion, although he did not get the position of commander, but when he first joined the army, he was able to take on this great task, which can be regarded as an unexpected joy.
��Tens of thousands of rebels guarded the entire city like iron barrels, bent on holding off the army of the imperial court and waiting for reinforcements to arrive.Last month, Song Dajiang, the bandit leader who had been leading his subordinates to entrench in Panshan Lake, led his army to raid and attack Yongzhou City on a large scale.The people outside the city, who were already oppressed by corrupt officials and cool officials, rose up one after another, rebelled from thieves, and attacked Yongzhou City with the thief army.The guards of Yongzhou, although greedy and cruel, are good at fighting, the subordinate soldiers rob the people from never ambiguous, and they refuse to show weakness in the war, and Song Dajiang has a fierce fight, taking advantage of the weak sneak attack, and killed Song Dajiang overnight, but was killed by his subordinate deputy general Lin Kui led the reinforcements for a while, hacked to death the Yongzhou guard on the spot, killed the guards, and captured Yongzhou City.Song Dajiang is dead, and the leaders of his subordinates have no leader, competing with each other for the position of leader, and they have no intention of enterprising.Therefore, the Tang Dynasty was given a chance to breathe, and an army of thieves was sent to quell the chaos.Seeing the current enemy, the leaders did not dare to compete for power, and they all served Hong Sanniang, the widow of Song Dajiang, known as the Great Shun Dynasty, and worked together to prepare to resist the imperial army.Hong Sanniang was recruiting soldiers and horses in the south at this time, and was leading the army to Yongzhou.Yongzhou City, now occupied by the thief leader Lin Kui, with 100,000 soldiers, most of whom are newly gathered homeless people.The rich families in the city were all robbed, and their wives and daughters were dragged into military prostitution, and the men were naturally killed, lest they have any more revenge plans.The new homeless people who came to the army, seeing that the veterans were robbing happily, couldn't help but be greedy, so they went to rob the families in Yongzhou City who had a little bit of family background, and naturally they also reaped a lot of benefits, but let those who were robbed, die, flee, and the women were also arrested and then sold, so that the new homeless people who joined the army also made a lot of money.On the streets of the city, there were corpses everywhere, or Lin Kui didn't look good, and he was afraid of the plague, so he ordered someone to take them outside the city to bury them.The buried soldiers didn't bother to do anything, so they dug a mass grave casually, filled the corpses inside, covered them with some soil, and settled the matter.Yongzhou City has experienced this catastrophe, and it is a bleak scene.The people outside the city, but they all came to Yongzhou, just because they were forced to live by corrupt officials in their hometowns.Although the Dashun army robbed civilians, they did not rob the poor, just because the poor could not rob anything even if they robbed.Therefore, those poor people rushed to join the army, and then they could justifiably rob the rich.Yongzhou City was heavily guarded, nervous for several days, and finally got the news that the imperial army was led by the daughter of the general Qin Yuan, and the concubine of Qin Guifei of the dynasty, a total of more than 100,000 people, were being mobilized from all over the country, and they were coming to Yongzhou.And Qin Guifei herself, led an elite army of 50,000 people from Jinling to the south, and gradually forced towards Yongzhou.As soon as the soldiers and horses from the states to fight against the thieves are gathered, they will attack.Hearing this news, there was a fierce debate within the Dashun army in Yongzhou City.The generals led by Zhu Yanda strongly advocated that they should take advantage of the fact that the enemy army had not gathered, and move their troops north to meet the main force led by Qin Guifei.If she can defeat the enemy army in one fell swoop and capture and kill Qin Guifei, all the soldiers and horses in the court will definitely panic, and the morale and prestige of the Dashun army can also be greatly increased, and it will not be difficult to wave the army north to capture Jinling in the future.The other faction was led by Lin Kui's trusted general Hong Beitong, insisting that Qin Guifei was originally the daughter of the famous general Qin Yuan, although she was not famous, she was a tiger girl after all, and she should not be taken lightly.Since he was appointed as the commander by the imperial court, he must have extraordinary ability, and Mao Ran led the army north to meet the attack, if there was a defeat, it would mess up the morale of the army.It is better to stick to Yongzhou, and as soon as Hong Sanniang's reinforcements arrive, they can join forces with the outside and break the enemy army in one fell swoop.The two factions quarreled all day long, and Lin Kui couldn't make a decision.finally made up his mind: give Zhu Yan 30,000 horses to meet Qin Guifei's elite troops, and the rest of the people will stick to Yongzhou for backup.Zhu Yanda is not afraid of lack of people, anyway, a small half of the soldiers he brought are elite, but most of the 70,000 soldiers who stayed in Yongzhou are newly recruited and have little combat effectiveness.At the moment, he was high-spirited, leading the army north, and he only wanted to break the enemy army wholeheartedly, and it was best to catch Qin Guifei and rape her, so that her poor mud legs could also taste the noble jade body of the imperial concubine
