Chastity Layman 2

Chapter 352

The north wind howled, and the sky was full of snow.

There is a vast expanse of whiteness between the sky and the earth.

The Wuding River had already become a glacier, and Duan Decao, the governor of Yanzhou, led the cavalry of Li Zihe, the forward general of Youwuwei, along the glacial river valley, through the thousands of ravines in northern Shaanxi, and across the Hengshan Mountains.

At the foot of the Great Wall.

At the confluence of Wushui River and Yulin River in the upper reaches of Wuding River, under Rulin City in Yinzhou.

The glacier has been stained red with blood.

Under the city of Yinzhou, there were broken arrows and guns everywhere, and the flags of Daliang State and Turkic people were mixed together.

Datang's knights are cleaning the battlefield.

A strong smell of blood soared into the sky, and carrion crows hovered in the vast sky.

This is a sudden battle, but also a battle without any suspense.

Duan Decao, the governor of Yanzhou, was the son of Duan Shao, the three war gods of the Northern Qi Dynasty. Since Wude, he has been in Yanzhou for a long time, defeated Liang Shidu many times, and became Liang Shidu's old enemy.

Li Zihe, formerly known as Guo Zihe, was originally Zuo Yiwei of the Sui Dynasty. He was exiled to Yulin for his crimes. At the end of his great career, there was a famine in the county.Guo Zihe and 18 daredevils captured Juncheng Wangcai, listed his crimes of not comforting the people, beheaded him to open a warehouse to release grain to relieve the victims, and claimed to be the King of Yongle, with two thousand cavalry behind him. Serving the Turks in the north, Shibi Khan once canonized Guo Zihe as the Pingyang Emperor, but Li Zihe dared not accept it, so he was awarded the title of Wulishe.

In the last years of Daye, Guo Zihe was a separatist leader in the northern border who professed his vassal to the Turks like Liang Shidu, Liu Wuzhou, and Gao Kaidao.

Li Tang made Chang'an the capital, and Guo Zihe surrendered to Chang'an, which angered the Turks, so Guo Lehe led all his troops to evacuate from Shengzhou, and was moved to Yanzhou by Zhaonan. Duke of the State, General Youwuwei.

The two generals, Duan and Li, are both veterans in the northwest of Jiuzhen. This time, they raided Yinzhou in a snowstorm. They did not encounter too many obstacles at the foot of Yinzhou City, which is said to be guarding the Wuding River and controlling the pass of the Great Wall.

The fighting started early in the morning.

Li Zihe led his headquarters to challenge at the city of Shengzhou first. Li Zhengbao, the guard in the city, ignored the objections of other generals and insisted on sending troops to fight.

Li Zhengbao ordered the slaughter of sheep and cattle for cooking, and at the same time sent troops to fight, saying that they would come back for breakfast after victory.

So Liu Cheng led three thousand troops out of the city to meet Li Zihe.

Who knew that as soon as Liu Cheng left the city, Li Zhengbao ordered the city gates to be closed, and then launched a mutiny in the city. It turned out that this Li Zhengbao had already been secretly instigated by the Zhen Fusi, and he wanted to surrender to Tang for a long time.

Liang Shidu was born in Shuofang, Xiazhou. His family is a local wealthy family, known as the family of governors. For six generations of the family, there have been more than a dozen governors.Liang Shidu's father, Liang Ding, was a local rich man. His father died young and was adopted by his uncle Liang Pi, who became his fourth son. His family name was Liang Xuanmo.

Liang Bi's grandfather, Liang Yue, was the governor of Sanzhou in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and his father, Liang Mao, was the governor of Zhouzhou in the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Because of Liang Bi's status in the Sui Dynasty, six of his eight sons, including Liang Shidu, served as governors, and Liang Shidu also became a general of Yingyang because of him.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Liang Shi was dismissed and returned home, so he made friends with local tyrants and bandits, killed officials and rebelled, and surrendered to the Turks. Wait for the county to win.

The Turkic Khan bestowed the wolf-headed banner and named the Dadu Vija Khan.

Liang Shidu is the emperor, and the country name is Liang.

The Liang divisions in the north all conquered Lingwu, but they were all defeated by the Tang Dynasty. They lured the Turks into the invaders several times, willing to be the vanguard, but they did not gain any benefits.

He often listened to slander and killed his generals if he acted.

Everyone is at risk.

When Datang defeated Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande, Liu Heitai, etc., everyone knew that Liang Shidu's Daliang Kingdom was only a few days away.

Many people abandoned Liang and defected to the Tang Dynasty, and some planned a mutiny and killed Liang Shidu in order to defect to the Tang Dynasty. For example, Shi Liumin, the former governor of Xia, and Sima Chengcheng planned a mutiny, but they led the troops to defect to the Tang Dynasty. Liu Min was named Yanzhou by the Tang Dynasty. Governor.

Not long ago, Liu Rucheng, the commander-in-chief of Jihu, also conspired to defect to the Tang Dynasty, but he was killed because of his rebellion, which aroused everyone's uneasiness.

The generals like Li Zhengbao were actually planning a retreat early on.

This time Li Zihe led the army, how could he really fight the Tang army.

After tricking Liu Cheng, who was obsessed with Liang, out of the city, he immediately led his cronies to eliminate the rest of the loyal Liang people in the city, and then raised the banner of the Tang Dynasty on the top of the city.

Liu Cheng was tricked out of the city. In front were Tang Jun Guo Zi and Bu Jingqi, and behind him was Li Zhengbao who had rejected him from the city.

The morale of Liu Bu fell to the bottom in an instant.

Li Zihe took advantage of the situation and led his troops to launch a fierce attack, most of his subordinates were old troops brought from Shengzhou, Hu Fengsheng from the northern frontier was more martial, all of them were good at riding and shooting.

Li Zhengbao was still shooting arrows at Liu Chengbu from the city.

For a while, the abdomen was attacked.

Liu Chengbu was completely suppressed.

Li Zihe's department attacked fiercely, but Liu Cheng's department had no intention of fighting, and the battle almost turned into a one-sided massacre.

Countless corpses were left by the Wuding River outside Rulin City.

The Turkic cavalry that Liu Cheng brought out of the city were not spared either.

On the hillside on the south bank of the Wuding River.

Duan Decao, governor of Yanzhou, looked at the battlefield immediately under the banner of the Tang army.

Qin Yong, who was dressed in bright armor, stood shoulder to shoulder with him.

"Unexpectedly, Duke Yi was far away in Hetao, but he was able to turn the guard of Yinzhou City against him. It's really amazing."

Duan Decao has been guarding the Northland since Wude. He led his troops to take back Yanzhou and Suizhou from Liang Shidu, but he still failed to take Yinzhou.

Liang Shidu firmly guarded Yinzhou, so he also guarded the Great Wall. Relying on the danger of mountains and rivers, Shuofang was preserved.

Yinzhou is too dangerous. The Wuding River Valley is a channel that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

But now, Qin Lang is strategizing and winning a decisive victory thousands of miles away.

When he met Qin Yong in Yanzhou, he didn't quite believe in Qin Lang's plan, but Qin Yong also brought a letter from Qin Qiong, the governor of Lingzhou and Pingzhang, so Duan Decao had to give it a try.

Who would have thought that Yinzhou, which had been attempted countless times in the past, could be taken so easily.

"Li Youwu's team is very strong." Qin Yong said with a smile.

"After all, it's the border of the Northland. Martial arts are popular, rangers are willful, and they are really good at riding and shooting." Duan Decao said, when Li Zihe gave up Shengzhou and moved to Yanzhou, he has been stationed in the old Yanzhou city. Quite special, in fact, Duan Decao doesn't like this team very much.

"Yi Guogong intends to transfer Li Youwu back to Shengzhou, no, this is indeed a soldier capable of fighting." Duan Decao said.

Qin Yong looked at the Yinzhou city, "Mr. Duan, the city gate has been opened, please enter!"

Looking at the wide open Yinzhou City, Duan Decao was in a complicated mood. He had thought about countless scenarios of attacking Yinzhou, but he never expected that he had guarded Yanzhou for many years, and in the end it was Qin Lang's trick to get in. Yinzhou.

He knew very well that Qin Lang was the main contributor to breaking Yinzhou.

Qin Yong was also secretly looking at Duan Decao. Duan Decao's father, Duan Shao, was a famous general in the Northern Qi Dynasty. He earned the title of Duke and Marquis for his sons.

After his death, even his two sons became kings.

Duan Decao, the governor of Yanzhou, is still a low-ranking official. Although the Duan family was not as prosperous as it once was in the Tang Dynasty, it was still very powerful.After all, the Duan family was once a dignitary in the Northern Qi Dynasty, so there is still some distance between them and the Guanlong Group.

Qin Lang once said to Qin Yong that the Duan family can win them over. They are not from the Guanlong Group, so there is no need to be afraid.

"What is Duke Yi's next plan?"

Duan Decao turned around and asked Qin Yong.

"This time we will deal with Master Liang at once, and Yinzhou will come down immediately, so Duke Yi will arrive soon."

"Duke Yi is coming?"

"Duke Yi will definitely come to take a look at the grand event of destroying beams."

Master Liang Slayer is a great achievement, of course Qin Lang will not miss it, this is an extremely rare military achievement, and Datang is the most important military achievement.

On the other hand, the traditional route from Shengzhou to Shuofang all passes through Yinzhou City.

"Mr. Yi is so sure that he can win Liang Shidu?" Duan Decao was still a little skeptical. Liang Shidu actually had some skills. Although the biggest reliance was the support of the Turkic people, if he didn't have some skills, it would be impossible to hold on. Until now, become the last anti-king.

He, Duan Decao, has been fighting Liang Shidu for nearly ten years, but he still can't destroy Liang Shidu.

"Mr. Duan, although my Duke Yi is young, how long has it been since he went to Hetao? How much has changed there now?"

Duan Decao stopped talking.

Yes, he has been in Yanzhou for ten years, so what? With the support of the court, he attacked Liang Shidu many times, but he still couldn't destroy Liang Shidu. It is true that Qin Lang was young, but he also acted boldly. Not long after, the three surrendered cities were built, and the soldiers were stationed in front of Shanyu's platform in Jieli.

This veteran is tall and strong, his iron clothes are a bit worn out, his burqa is not so colorful, and even the saddle of his mount is not carved with silver or lacquer, but the horse lance in his hand is a precious lance, simple and unsophisticated. Ma Chan's sharp blade was cold, exuding a murderous aura.

"Okay, I'll wait for Duke Yi in Yinzhou City!"

Riding into Yinzhou City, Li Zhengbao led his troops to surrender.

Duan Decao did not immediately accept these people's request to surrender, but said to Qin Yong who was beside him, "This is Yi Guogong's righteous brother, Qi Guogong's adopted son, and he is also an important member of the imperial court's Fusi, so he will be replaced by General Qin." Lord Yi, accept the surrender!"

The sound of hoofs came.

A cavalry came from the north.

"Is it the soldiers of Liang Shidu, or the Turks?"

Qin Yong smiled, "It must be Duke Yi himself!"

Duan Decao, Li Zhengbao and the others doubted, how could Qin Lang come so fast, he came just after taking down Yinzhou City?
But when the men and horses approached, they saw that it was indeed the banner of the deputy governor of the Yanran Governor's Mansion, and the brigade of light cavalry escorted a young general to appear on a strong horse.

Qin Yong stepped forward.

"Zhen Fu Si Qin Yong, pay homage to Duke Yi!"

Duan Decao, Li Zhengbao, Li Zihe and other generals finally believed that it was Qin Lang who came, but looking at the young man who jumped off the horse, they still couldn't believe it. They had never seen Qin Lang before, but Hearing Qin Lang's name, but seeing it with his own eyes, he was still extremely surprised, this Duke Yi was too young.
