Hexi.
Lanzhou west is not far from the official road.
Li Tai got out of the carriage with a pale face.
"My nephew visits my aunt."
Li Xiuning nodded at the fat man, and Li Ke and Li You also came to pay their respects.
The three brothers looked at the countless light horses behind Li Xiuning, and they all secretly swallowed their saliva.
Those who come are not good, and those who are good do not come.
Li Tai took a few steps forward with courage, "I don't know why my aunt appeared here" "I'm here for you" Li Xiuning said to her nephew, she didn't hate Chubby.
This nephew is chubby, but actually has a very sweet mouth.
Only this time, it's not about personal feelings.
"Qingque, my aunt is here to invite you to Qinghai Lake.
The scenery over there is beautiful, much better than the messy Hankyung now. ” "Thank you aunt for your kindness, but now that His Majesty has summoned me back to Beijing to face the saint, I dare not delay.
Why don't I wait until I see Your Majesty, and then I have time to accompany my aunt to play, or maybe my aunt can go back to Beijing with us. ” Li Xiuning shook his head.
"Qingque, my aunt has a heart, how can you refuse.
You see, my aunt came to invite you three brothers, but she brought tens of thousands of cavalry.
Under the city of Lanzhou, there are still more than 10,000 people.
There are more people waiting for you by Qinghai Lake. ” "Auntie, why bother."
Li Taiwan said helplessly.
"Let's go."
Li Xiuning didn't say anything more and turned the horse's head.
The cavalry surrounded them.
Liu Shili held the handle of the saber tightly in his hand, but he didn't dare to pull it out at all.
With 1,000 riders against 10,000 riders, this has no chance of winning at all, especially now that there are still three princes here, which one of them is out of the pool, and he is finished.
Li Tai weighed it for a long time, and finally found that he didn't have the slightest chance at all.
In the end, Liu Shili could only give an order and give up resistance.
The 1,000 cavalry of the forbidden army were disarmed on the spot, and their horses were confiscated, so they could only march around the cavalry on foot.
Under the city of Lanzhou.
Su Dingfang and Cheng Yanjin were chatting with a smile.
"This Lanzhou City is quite tightly defended."
"Indeed, there are still two brushes in this thorn history."
More than 10,000 cavalry under the command of the two surrounded the city of Lanzhou, and the Lanzhou Thorn Shi in the city turned pale.
Although Lanzhou is an important town in Hexi, its status is not as good as that of Liangzhou.
Liangzhou City is the capital of Hexi Province, and there are more soldiers there.
Moreover, the imperial court military system, the government military system is the mainstay, although there are many military governments around Lanzhou, but the government soldiers are usually on duty guards, guards, in this Lanzhou city, there are few soldiers in peacetime.
This time, Cheng Yanjin and Su Dingfang came too quickly, and they attacked with light horses.
There was no time to warn along the way, when he learned the news, he hurriedly reported to the governor's office of the right army in Chang'an, and asked for the transfer of troops to defend, but before the troops were transferred, Cheng Yanjin and Su Dingfang had already killed one south and one north.
"Envoy, will they attack the city?"
Cheng Yanjin and Su Dingfang are all famous generals of the Tang Dynasty, and both of them are also crowned kings with military merits, one is the king of Lujun and the other is the king of Jiangjun.
The king who was crowned with the merits of King Qin at the beginning has now become a rebel general.
Lanzhou Thorn Shi was in a heavy mood.
He estimated that the two of them really wanted to attack the city, but they were afraid that Lanzhou City would not be able to defend it at all.
A whining horn sounded.
Another team arrived from the west.
There are also tens of thousands of light riders.
When the horses approached, a captain recognized the banner of the horses through the binoculars.

"It's the eldest princess, the eldest princess of Pingyang."
Another famous figure, the only female general in the Tang Dynasty, and the only female hero to enter the Lingyan Pavilion. is still the Tang clan, the eldest princess of the royal family, but now, she has led troops to this Lanzhou city.
Under the city.
Cheng Yanjin and Su Dingfang greeted him.
"The eldest princess came out, and she really succeeded."
Cheng Biting Jin, I looked at the three young princes with nervous expressions and said.
Li Xiuning looked at Lanzhou City.
"How is it now?"
"Eldest princess, the history of Lanzhou City is quite powerful, the city is very tightly guarded, and there are some rules.
We didn't rush to attack. ” Li Xiuning turned to Li Tai and said, "Please ask His Royal Highness the King of Qin to write a letter to the assassin in the city, explain the situation, and let him open the city." ” Li Tai looked at Li Xiuning, and then looked at Cheng Biting Jin and Su Dingfang.
"What if you don't want to write?"
Su Dingfang smiled.
"Actually, I think there is no difference between catching three princes and catching two princes in hand, King Qin, are you right?"
Li Tai's face turned pale, "Bring a pen." ” When the letter was written, Su Lie rode his horse to the city, tied the letter to an arrow and shot it into the city.
On the city.
The letter was delivered to the assassin.
After reading it, Thorn Shi almost fainted.
"It's over, the three princes have been kidnapped by the rebels."
"If the rebels say that if we don't open the city and surrender, they will kill Qin Wangtai in an hour until we surrender, otherwise we will kill the three princes."
"Envoy, what now?"
Thorn Shi's beard trembled, he was a civil servant, facing the siege of 20,000 cavalry, there were only a thousand soldiers in the city, and it was not easy to be calm until now.
"Wait."
It's going to be dark.
At dusk, the sky is full of red clouds in the west.
In the afterglow of the setting sun, another army arrived.
However, the follow-up infantry of Subi and Tuyuhun led by Qingluan and Murong Fuyun arrived.
There are 30,000 horses.
Coupled with the 20,000 light cavalry under the city, there are already 50,000 troops under the city of Lanzhou.
"Subi and Tuyuhun are also here, and even Queen Qingluan and Khan Murong Fuyun are here.
It's over, and it's powerless. ” Seeing that Lanzhou City had been besieged, Thorn Shi sighed in despair at the moment.
It is impossible to rely on the more than 1,000 soldiers and horses in the city and the people in the city to defend against the attack of 50,000 rebels.
"Envoy, otherwise, let's open the city, and the people will not be miserable."
"You go outside the city and talk to the eldest princess."
Thorn history to the one who offered to surrender to humanity.
"Me" "Well, tell the eldest princess a few of my requests.
First, the eldest princess must restrain the rebels and not disturb the people after entering the city.
Second, the eldest princess must treat the three princes well and not hurt them.
If the eldest princess can do these two things, she can open the city gate. ” The man was reluctantly taken off the city wall, and trembling to see the eldest princess in arms.
"I can grant you these two requests.
You go and reply to the assassin now, and let him open the city. ” "The eldest princess counts when she speaks" "Although a certain woman is a woman, she also knows what a gentleman says, and it is difficult to chase a horse, and he will never break his word."
Before the last ray of light on the horizon faded, Lanzhou Thorn Shi reluctantly ordered the city gate to be opened.
The eldest princess of Pingyang, Cheng Yanjin and Su Dingfang led their troops into the city together.
The military discipline is very good, and he has no offense with Minqiuhao.
The eldest princess of Pingyang also had the Subi army and the Tuyuhun army stationed outside the city.
For the meat, vegetables and grain for military needs, they are also purchased at market prices, and what is taken out is not the treasure money and gold coupons that have become waste paper, but real money, silver and copper coins.

These actions have won great welcome from the people in Lanzhou.
Lanzhou Thorn Shi helplessly held the Thorn Shi Yin in front of the yamen to greet Pingyang.
"Li Yuanjun has done a good job, you can continue to do Lanzhou Thorn History."
Li Tingshi asked, "What does the eldest princess want?"
"Dharma protector," Binh Duong replied.
Thorn Shi sighed, and agreed to stay in Assassin Shi.
Regarding the current civil war in the court, on the one hand, he supported the emperor and believed that the crown prince should not betray his father with his son.
But on the other hand, he also saw the chaos in the Central Plains now, and thought that the policies of the emperor and the imperial court were indeed inappropriate.
He was also confused about this chaos.
But since the eldest princess was able to restrain the soldiers from committing no offense with Minqiu, he had nothing to say.
Lanzhou Thorn History Yamen.
Pingyang discussed with Su Lie, Cheng Yanjin, Qingluan and Murong Fuyun.
"Successfully taking Lanzhou, the soldiers are bloodless, and it is an unexpected surprise.
Next, let's just march into Chang'an," Murong Fuyun said.
Binh Duong opposed.
"Chang'an is the Xijing of the Tang Dynasty, with strong defense, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
And we are still far from Chang'an, the imperial court must have been mobilizing troops and horses to intercept it, if we really want to march into Chang'an, it can only be a hard and bloody battle, I don't want to see this situation. ” "It's better to turn around Liangzhou."
Cheng bites the golden road.
"I also support Weiliangzhou."
Su Dingfang agreed.
Liangzhou is the capital of Hexi Province and has always been an important town in the northwest.
If Liangzhou can be taken and Lanzhou can be controlled, the entire Hexi Road will be swept away.
There is also an important significance of taking Hexi, that is, the territory of Su Dingfang in the north of Wolf Mountain, the territory of Pingyang, and the territory of Zhang Chao, which can be connected with the forces of Cheng Yanjin and Qingluan in Longyou Qinghai and Murong Fuyun.
"I agree to besiege Liangzhou, but the siege is okay, not forcible and not stormed."
Binh Duong made a request.
She is willing to raise troops to support Li Chao, and she is also willing to attack the city and seize land, but she is not willing to kill and injure many people in the civil war.
"It's okay" Li Xiuning said again, "I plan to write a letter to Your Majesty to persuade Your Majesty to negotiate peace." ” "How is it possible to negotiate peace" Cheng bit Jin Dao, and the water that was spilled out could not be taken back.
Now that the prince has raised troops, they have also raised troops, and this matter cannot end peacefully.
Either, in the end the emperor abdicated, or the crown prince and they were defeated.
There were no other results.
"Let Your Majesty abdicate, if Your Majesty abdicates, he can still be the emperor."
Su Lie said.
However, everyone also knows in their hearts that persuading the emperor to abdicate now has no effect.
Li Shimin could not accept this threat, and he still had a great advantage.
Hunan, Xiaojiang.
The army led by Li Ji is getting closer and closer to Wuling.
His offensive line was also basically exposed.
"Marshal, the scout returns, Zhang Chao has transferred Zhang Zhongjian from Guizhou to lead 20,000 soldiers and horses to reinforce Hezhou, and now Zhang Zhongjian is the chief general of Hezhou."
"Zhang Zhongjian, Cui Yan, 50,000 soldiers and horses guarding Hezhou."
Li Ji shook his head.
Time was too hurried, and many of his plans were too late to be launched, and the original plan to feint on Guizhou and Shaozhou was not implemented.
Now, he had to storm Hezhou.
"Haven't our 30,000 rear army completed the assembly yet," Li Ji asked with a frown.
"Tanzhou has only gathered 8,000, and more than 20,000 are still on the way."
"Don't wait, let those 8,000 people come over immediately."

"Grain and Grass Arrows" "Still on the way."
"What about our artillery?"
"Still on the way" Li Ji was furious, "Immediately urge, ten days later, I will launch an attack, when the time comes, I will see that the military rations, grass and arrows, as well as artillery are all in place, if there is a delay, the military law will severely punish it." t1706231537:
