Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law

Chapter 249 King Qin’s army failed and ended

Hearing this, Liang Song suddenly became violent and rushed towards Chen Mo, but soon he felt a huge force pressing on his shoulders, making him kneel directly in front of Chen Mo. , unable to raise his head.

It was a ball of rich purple energy that tightly bound him, but even so, Liang Song still refused to be honest and roared: "Don't even think about it."

"Your whole family is in my hands, do you think you can still resist?"

Chen Mo knelt down and said in Liang Song's ear: "Liang Song, the prefect of Yuzhou, surrendered to General Xuanwei Chen Mo in order to survive, and betrothed his daughter to General Xuanwei as his concubine. Do you think this news has spread? , what will everyone think?"

Liang Song was shocked, and then roared: "Do you think people in the world will believe it?"

"I don't need the world to believe it, I just need to make this happen. In this way, what the world will see is that your daughter was indeed taken as my concubine, and you are still alive. As for your surrender, Not surrendering is no longer that important.”

Finally, Chen Mo gave Liang Song another blow: "Even if the people in the world still don't believe it, they will become suspicious. Tell me, will King Huai still believe you then?"

"Asshole, shameless villain." Liang Song couldn't help but cursed angrily.

Chen Mo stood up and clenched his right hand fiercely. The innate spiritual energy pressing on Liang Song immediately entered Liang Song's body. The next moment, the latter's face changed drastically, like a deflated balloon, and his pupils dilated: " You actually destroyed my Dantian."

"I just don't want you to die, but I don't want to ruin your cultivation."

Chen Mo said calmly: "The dowry you prepared for your daughter is very good, so I will accept it with a smile."

After saying that, Chen Mo waved his hand: "Take him down and take good care of him. Don't let him die."

"promise."

"Traitor, traitor, you will not succeed." Before Liang Song could finish his words, he was dragged down by Chen Mo's soldiers.

"Sun Meng."

"The end will be here."

"You lead the personal troops and Shenwu guards and continue to pursue the enemy. Those who do not surrender will be killed."

Chen Mo ordered.

This ambush caused many Yuzhou troops to escape. Chen Mo was not going to let them go, and they couldn't escape either. The trap guards led by Zhang He and the others should have come from behind, just in time to block all the defeated troops. .

"promise."

Sun Meng quickly retreated and led the personal troops and Shenwu Guards in pursuit.

Chen Mo stayed where he was and led the brave guards to collect the weapons and armor of the soldiers while cleaning the battlefield.

Since ancient times, it has been the victor who cleans the battlefield.

When encountering injured enemy soldiers who were not dead but could not be saved, they would directly kill them with a knife. The wounded soldiers of our own side would be carried back. Those who could be saved would be saved, and those who could not be saved would be left there to die. Finally, they would be recorded in a book, according to Chen Mo's previous decision. Under the military regulations, pensions were issued.

In this battle, according to corpse statistics, the Yuzhou Army lost more than 2,700 people, and currently has more than 3,200 prisoners. According to the prisoners' confessions, there are still 7,000 to 8,000 people at large, but the morale of the army has been weakened and there is no need to worry. .

After cleaning the battlefield, Chen Mo led his soldiers and retreated to Longmen County.

……

And Tianchuan before that.

April 20, the eighth year of Xuanhe.

Xu Guozhong officially began to move the capital, and he and his "pseudo court" troops evacuated Tianchuan in large numbers.

On the way to evacuate, there were densely packed puppet imperial troops everywhere, estimated to be no less than one hundred thousand, and there were also a large number of carriages, horses, baggage, and grain and grass, which were almost packed to the brim.

How could such a large-scale capital move be concealed from the eyes and ears of King Huai, in order to prevent Xu Guozhong from escaping.

King Qin's army increased its strength and pressed into Zhentianmen. On April 21st, Zhentianmen was occupied by King Qin's army.

After occupying Zhentianmen, King Qin's army should have immediately pursued Xu Guozhong's "pseudo imperial army" to prevent Xu Guozhong from moving the capital with the emperor.

But at this time, King Qin's army actually broke out into internal strife.

King Qin's army is composed of multiple forces. Although King Huai's force is the largest, other forces also have their own agendas.

So, when King Qin's army was chasing Xu Guozhong, the Xiliang army among them actually broke away from the alliance army and headed straight towards Tianchuan.

Tianchuan was the capital of the Song Dynasty. There were 180 squares in the city, and there was no curfew. It was known as the city that never sleeps. With a population of more than two million, it was the largest city in the Song Dynasty.

And Tianchuan has been the capital for hundreds of years. How much wealth can be accumulated in these hundreds of years, even Xu Guozhong cannot move all at once.

However, the various forces in King Qin's army were not united in the first place. They sacrificed so much directly and sacrificed so much. Now they finally broke into Zhentian Gate and looked at a city full of gold right in front of them. Can you not be moved? Can you bear it?

So, the Xiliang army took action first.

They entered Tianchuan City on the morning of April 24th. The people of Tianchuan were overjoyed and opened their doors to welcome them. Cheers resounded throughout the city. At this time, the puppet imperial troops had not yet evacuated, and the people threw bricks and stones. , the puppet imperial troops fled for their lives in disgrace and did not dare to fight back.

However, the people of Tianchuan regarded the Xiliang Army as the rebel army to save them, but the nightmare soon came.

This group of Xiliang soldiers entered each house and robbed property and women. In an instant, the entire Tianchuan City seemed to have become a hell on earth, and even thieves took advantage of the troubled waters to fish in troubled waters and committed various crimes.

At this time, the people of Tianchuan all missed the time when Xu Guozhong was still there.

At least at that time, order was still there.

After hearing the news, other forces serving the king's army outside the city clamored to enter the city. King Huai was hesitant and declared to everyone that this was Xu Guozhong's plan to delay their pursuit. Many forces did not believe it. King Huai was helpless and was coerced. Entered Tianchuan.

The King of Huai did not want to plunder the people, but he wanted to appease the forces, so he could only use the name of seeking justice for the people to surround and suppress the Xiliang army.

In the end, the Xiliang army suffered heavy casualties, and less than 10,000 of the 50,000 Xiliang army fled back to Xiliang.

King Huai distributed the property looted by the Xiliang army to various forces, hoping to appease everyone.

However, some forces believed that King Huai behaved unevenly in the distribution, and were dissatisfied with King Chong, the Liang family, the Xiao family, and some forces in Hedong for being too partial.

In fact, this situation has happened more than once. During the previous attack on Hedong, there was a conflict between the two forces over the distribution of grain and grass. However, they were suppressed by King Huai and were fooled by the post-war settlement.

So this time they didn't say anything on the surface, but when King Qin's army continued to pursue Xu Guozhong, three parties directly betrayed the alliance and broke away from King Qin's army, causing the strength of King Qin's army to be reduced.

Later, during the pursuit, Gongsun Yan, the confidant of King Chong, secretly sent his younger brother to take a small road to intercept the puppet imperial army in front of Chu Ce in order to seize the lead. However, he was ambushed by Lu Sheng. Gongsun Yan His younger brother died as a result.

Such behavior wasted the strength of King Qin's army in vain.

On April 30th, two more forces wanted to break away from King Qin's army.

At this time, King Huai finally realized his mistake after being reminded by his staff. He immediately personally appeased and retained the two forces that wanted to leave, and personally contributed money to compensate the forces that had suffered unfair treatment before.

Just when I thought I could make some repairs and continue the crusade, news came that Shan County had been lost and the Tianshi Army was threatening Yangzhou and Huaizhou.

Suddenly, many forces in King Qin's army were shocked. These places were all their home bases.

Now, they no longer have the intention to continue to work hard for the king, and they have left the alliance one after another.

King Huai was also worried about his lair, and after much thought, he led his troops and left the stronghold.

At this point, the mighty King Qin's army ended in failure.
