    Chapter two hundred and sixty-ninth, lesions (below)

    Before Shao Chengbi left the capital, Li Jianting asked Fengquan to pack his bags for him. Shao Chengbi actually didn't have anything to pack, he only brought a knife.

    Fengquan washed Shao Chengbi's hair, and then tied Shao Chengbi's bun in front of the bronze mirror. Shao Chengbi's gray hair is very rough, he said: "Go into battle to kill the enemy, don't keep it long, cut it off."

    Fengquan asked the little eunuch to bring a razor to cut Shao Chengbi's hair short.

    "The emperor asked you to see him off," Shao Chengbi's voice was hoarse, not so bad that he couldn't speak, but his voice was completely ruined, "It's God's grace."

    The razor made a soft slicing sound, and Fuquan replied with a blank expression, "Father is right."

    "There will be no time left here," Shao Chengbi looked at Fengquan in the mirror, "You and my father and son will never see each other again."

    "Father uses his troops calmly and will not be defeated," Feng Quan carefully cut his hair. "Besides, all the firearms in the Spring Spring Camp belong to my father, enough for Shen Zechuan to eat a pot."

    "He inherited Taifu," Shao Chengbi said, "is a hero."

    "Although Taifu is able to strategize and win," the white hair fell to the ground rustling, Fengquan wiped the blade with his thumb, and Shao Chengbi's neck was just a stone's throw away, "but he suffers from the disease that smart people have, and is conceited. ."

    Shao Chengbi's blind eye moved laboriously.

    Feng Quan put away the razor, quickly pulled up his hair, and fixed it for Shao Chengbi.

    Shao Chengbi sat quietly, the setting sun pierced through the window and drew a line between him and Fengquan. Xianchen floated, and Shao Chengbi said, "In the next life, I will be your son."

    Fengquan was silent for a while, then replied, "Let me go."

    It took half a month for Que to draft the oath, and the yamen all over the place posted the oath, and saw that in addition to Shen Wei's defeat, there were also charges of Shen Zechuan supporting the army to stand on his own, gathering the party and conspiracy.

    "The imperial court is benevolent to the Shen family, but the remnants of the Shen family have taken over the mountain as the king, intending to rebel!" The yamen clerk smashed the gong and shouted to the illiterate people, "He is now gathering rogues and approaching Dancheng, he is a chaotic minister, he is Rebel! The capital will patrol the city from now on, and a curfew will be imposed.

    The capital's army is well-armed, running in the big and small markets all day long. The most rumored teahouses and restaurants are all closed, and anyone who gathers in groups will be arrested and jailed for defamation. In an instant, people were panicked, and the most prosperous Donglong Street was no longer melodious.

    "When the Empress ascended the throne, there was neither a jade ultimatum nor a Zhu Zhuo." Gao Zhongxiong stepped on a stone and held up an article. The sun was shining, and his face was covered in sweat, "On the basis of Xue Xiuzhuo's words alone, it is difficult to trust her! If she is really the direct descendant of King Qin Pulse, may I ask where is the cinnabar seal? Prince Qin’s heir is withered, if there is a direct daughter, how can she be allowed to live in the people?”

    "Since Taizu ascended the throne, Dazhou has experienced twenty-one kings. In hundreds of years, there has not been such an indistinct emperor! Are you kneeling today whether it is the king of the Li family or a minister of the Xue family!" Gao Zhongxiong wiped his sweat. , with a gloomy tone, "Yongyi is in chaos, the Xiande army is defeated, and the Li family has been captured by a family, and he has long been helpless and unable to protect himself!"

    * * *

    The footsteps of the office compound were hurried, and the candlelight of Mingli Hall did not go out all night.

    "The urgent delivery store reports that King Donglie is going to send troops." The transfer of troops and horses is not a trivial matter, Chen Zhen has been here for four days, eating and sleeping in the courtyard, "but there is no military report, when will he be dispatched and when will he be dispatched? Well, we don't know either."

    "The food is collected. If you can't wait, it won't be delayed. Give the fire card and give it to her again. If Qi Zhuyin doesn't move, give it to Qi Shiyu!" , the Beiyuan school field will definitely withdraw troops and return to the rescue, and Shao Chengbi will be able to fight. However, with more than a dozen pens in the imperial court, Gao Zhongxiong still has the upper hand. Is there no one in the Hanlin Imperial Academy?!"

    Yuan Fu was angry, the hall was silent for a moment, and all the officials standing under the eaves with their hands down were silent.

    Li Jianting's life experience was already in doubt. At the beginning, he said that he was the daughter of the King of Qin, and the daughter of the King of Qin should also have a jade letter. When Xue Xiuzhuo confirmed the identity of the prince, he showed the handwriting of Li Jianheng, Emperor Tianchen, and the bright yellow satin-faced book was covered with a jade seal.

    Now that Zhongbo killed Li Jianting, it is definitely not from the blood of the Li family. Although private discussion of state affairs is strictly prohibited in various places, all kinds of rumors have been gathering for a long time. What's more, there are speculations about the Empress and Xue Xiuzhuo.

    "This battle is difficult," Cen Yu said, "I'd better go and urge King Donglie again."

    * * *

    Shao Chengbi bumped up the city wall. From here, couldn't see Izuku, only the continuous camp of the Dunzhou garrison. Tantaihu obeyed Shen Zechuan's orders, and approached Dancheng as the two sides scolded more and more fiercely.

    "Tantai Tiger was originally Xiao Chiye's general, but he was transferred to Zhongbo by Xiao Chiye and started to guard Dunzhou. The Duanzhou of Shen Zechuan can be defended, thanks to Tantai Tiger." The official following Shao Chengbi was right It was the official who went to Qidong to deliver the fire card that day. He was the son of Shao Chengbi's old department, and his name was Xu Yu.

    Shao Chengbi moved his lame leg, approached the wall, and said, "What is the relationship between this person and Tantai Long?"

    "It's Tantai Long's younger brother."

    "Tantailong is calm, if he inherits his brother's temperament," Shao Chengbi looked at the vast sky and the twilight filled the air, "I'm afraid he won't take it lightly."

    "Shen Zechuan's six states are all playing the card of benevolence and righteousness," Xu Yu said, "At this moment, the banners of 'Li's unkindness' and 'Fujun's righteousness' are used as banners, so naturally they dare not let the Tantai Tiger attack the city, so as not to convince people. But what Xiaguan looked at the Dunzhou garrison meant to block the city gate, consume the granary of Dan City, and force the governor to open the door."

    "The treasury is empty and the military supplies are scarce. It is indeed a good strategy to besiege the city and force it to surrender." Shao Chengbi walked along the wall, "How about the Tantai tiger governing the army?"

    Xu Yu looked out of the city, thought for a while, and replied, "Loose and unrestrained."

    * * *

    Tantaihu eats in the camp, and since he arrived at the Beiyuan campus, Yu Xiaozai has been eating and living with him. It was getting dark now, and Tantai Hu asked, "Is there anything unusual about the night patrol?"

    Liu Kong stood at the entrance of the tent and replied, "Everything is fine. General, when Shao Chengbi heard the general's reputation, he was so frightened that he didn't even dare to leave the city gate."

    "I heard that Shao Chengbi is a lame man," Tantai Hu said, "I don't know if he would dare to fight with us."

    "They want to defend the city." When Yu Xiaozai was present, Liu Kong was cautious in his words and deeds, and only said, "If the mansion has an order, I will report it to the general immediately, and the general can rest."

    There were many mosquitoes in the camp, so the tent was put down. Yu Xiao soaked his feet in hot water again and asked Tantai Hu in a low voice, "I see this man is smart and smart, why didn't I see him during the last inspection?"

    "I didn't promote him at that time," Tantai Hu said. "He was a hard worker, and his family was a Dengzhou farmer. Xiande had Biansha cavalry slaughtered for four years, and he had been with the Fanzhou bandits for a while. , and later cast into my army, it can be regarded as a reformation."

    Yu Xiao became more concerned, and thought about things while wiping his feet.

    At night, they slept in separate beds, and Tantai's tiger roared into the sky. Who knew that when it was ugly, he would have a stomach ache. Tantai Hu originally thought it was because the food was not clean, and his face turned pale from the pain.

    Liu Kong, who was outside the account, said eagerly, "General! Brothers all have diarrhea!"

    Tantaihu clutched his stomach, opened the curtain with his shoes, and heard the moaning everywhere in the camp, and the hut was crowded with people. His expression darkened a little, and he said, "Send the military doctor first, and then send someone to report the news to Ibaraki immediately!"

    Yu Xiao Zai was half asleep, and got up after listening to the movement. He walked out while putting on his clothes, and said in surprise, "What's wrong?!"

    "Someone poisoned—"

    Before Liu Kong could finish speaking, there was a sound of vomiting next to him, and all the soldiers began to vomit. With such similar symptoms, is it not poisoning? Tantai Hu was shocked, and knew that the army had hidden fine works.

    "Quickly spread the word about the military doctor!" Tantai Hu said in a hurry.

    * * *

    Xu Yu fell asleep, and when he heard the report from the sentry, he called Shao Chengbi before he could wash up. He led Shao Chengbi to the city gate and said, "Governor, the garrison is in chaos!"

    Shao Chengbi saw the bright lights in the distance and heard human voices.

    Xu Yu was overjoyed: "Reported from the outpost, the garrison didn't know what to eat. The whole army suffered stomach damage and vomited and diarrhoea. The Tantai Tiger was as anxious as ants on a hot pot at the moment."

    Shao Chengbi was cautious and said, "Is the situation true? If it is a trick to lure troops, I'm afraid there will be an ambush."

    "Tantai Hu also had a stomach ache, and the camp collapsed. It doesn't look like a fake. Besides, Zhongbo has no help, he will never use 20,000 garrison troops to play." Once we win this battle, when we are triumphant, I can wait for the grievances to be washed away!"

    Shao Chengbi's breathing was slightly heavy, he was still hesitating against the wall. The soldiers at the bottom hurried up the steps and clasped their fists at Shao Chengbi: "The Governor, rush to shop the fire card - King Donglie has sent troops!"

    Shao Chengbi squinted her eyes, and laughed loudly in the firelight, she turned around abruptly, and said, "God help me, lead the horse!"

    * * *

    Tantai Hu was also vomiting and diarrhoea, and his calf was shaking. There were not enough military doctors, and the erected shed was full of soldiers, and even Liu Kong vomited several times.

    "Has the news gone?" Tantai Hu asked with a pale face.

    Yu Xiao patted his leg again and said, "I know!"

    At this moment, Xio said that he was lined up, even if it was difficult to form a standing team. Tantaihu extinguished half of the torches in the camp, disguised as usual. But his eyelids jumped, and he always felt that something was going on tonight.

    Liu Kong said to Tantai Hu, "It's my own people who transport the military rations, and there will be no mistakes on the road. We've eaten rice noodles for a month and it's fine, but something went wrong tonight..."

    Tantaihu gritted his teeth and said, "There must be some fine work by the army in the army."

    Although Yu Xiaozai tried his best to break the topic, but now, he is the only one in the entire camp who is okay. Cold sweat oozes from his back, already thinking about what the other party is going to do. His mind was racing, his expression remained the same, and he only said: "Don't be in a mess right now, in case—"

    In case he hadn't finished speaking, he heard the sound of hoofs galloping towards the west of the camp. The soldiers on the watchtower beat drums and sounded the alarm, and the word "enemy attack" instantly swept the entire battalion.

    Liu Kong said "Ah" in a panic, "General!"

    Tantai Hu suddenly stood up, his chest heaving, then he picked up the soldiers who were in better condition and shouted, "Line up!"

    The Du army used light cavalry as the vanguard, which could not only make surprise attacks, but also spy on the real situation. If the Dunzhou garrison was setting up a position to lure the enemy, they could retreat immediately.

    The light cavalry of the army rushed to the west, and the drums on the watchtower were about to smash. Tantaihu raised his arm and shouted violently, "Archer!"

    The Dunzhou garrison had to deal with the Biansha cavalry from time to time. In order to deal with the Biansha cavalry, Tantai Hu changed the bow used by the army from the big bow to the strong bow used by the Libei iron cavalry. The effect of several battles was extraordinary, but at this moment , but there are very few soldiers who can draw the bow.

    The bow and arrow failed to consume the light cavalry, and the opponent already knew the weakness of the Dunzhou garrison. The infantry in the rear charged quickly with shields, and the armor shone in the moonlight. This was the most sophisticated equipment of the eight major battalions.

    The wooden fences in the camp were knocked to pieces, and the garrison was too late to run. Tantai Tiger drew his sword to fight, and before he could wait for the infantry of the capital army, the light cavalry rushed in front of him. He smelled the smell of gunpowder, and his heart was cold, and he rolled on the spot.

    The copper fire gun exploded immediately, and sparks flew everywhere.

    Tantaihu hugged his head and avoided it, but his arms were aching. He rolled his arms and gasped.

    "Those who are willing to surrender tonight are of great grace, and the imperial court will not hold you accountable for your heinous crimes." Shao Chengbi beat his horse into the camp, "The 300,000 Qidong garrison has passed the Heavenly Concubine's Que, and Shen's rebellion has failed and has been trapped in the Jedi, the old man advises Everyone, get back to your sincerity as soon as possible!"
