Chapter 383 (1/2)

They had previously attacked Shule, kuizi, Yanqi, Xizhou and Yizhou in the western region. These areas originally inherited the culture of the Tang Dynasty. Even if all local residents are Hu people, they also believe in Buddhism, mixed with Taoism and fire worship.

However, Huihe Khan ordered all people in these areas to convert to green religion and destroyed temples of Buddhism, fire worship and other religions. With its fanatical religious belief, it began to move eastward. The first state to bear the brunt is the SHAGUA two states in Yumen pass.

The Guiyi army has been in Chengping for a long time these years, and it is not as sharp and powerful as the yichaogong in the past. Therefore, in the face of the Huihe offensive, they can only guard the city and dare not go out to fight in the city.

So he sent the letter of request for help to Liangzhou and asked Zhao Hui to help send troops to resist. The two states of SHAGUA are located in several of the most prosperous oases on the Silk Road, and their geographical location is very important.

Naturally, Zhao Hui could not sit idly by. He led the rescue of elite troops first, and issued an order to many warlords under his command, including Wei Ran.

Wei Ran knew the importance of the two states of SHAGUA, which directly related to the safety of the Silk Road, so he did not hesitate to call troops immediately.

This time, 8000 cavalry are still the main force. Starting from guide, they meet with Zhao Xuanqing in Shanzhou. The total number of cavalry on both sides exceeds 20000. After passing through Liangzhou, go through the Qilian Mountains, enter Suzhou and Ganzhou, win over the local warlord Longjia soldiers and horses in Ganzhou, gather up to 30000 cavalry, and then meet Zhao Hui in Guazhou, gather all field forces and launch a decisive battle against the main force of Huihe.

……

In Xiangyang, where Li Chengye entered in winter, he highlighted the strange soldiers in the snowy season. When everyone did not expect, he broke through the two fortresses where the Huangchao army stored military grain and burned its military grain.

Hundreds of thousands of troops in Huangchao collapsed, and the passers-by were chased and killed by Li Chengye and fled to the south. In addition to the main camp, tens of thousands of people fled successfully, hundreds of thousands of troops almost collapsed.

Li Chengye wanted to continue to pursue and kill. When the North was stable, he wiped out the Yellow nest at one fell swoop. However, Zuo Shence's army did not pay wages, and suffered heavy casualties in the northern and southern wars.

Coupled with acclimatization, the sergeants were infected with many diseases and had no morale. They had to retreat to Jiangling for a rest and collect money and food to reward the sergeants.

In Chang'an City, on the eve of the Spring Festival, it was another scene. Dark clouds covered the Daming Palace. Although the lights in the palace were bright, it could not hide a gloomy atmosphere.

Zhang Zhen, together with his sworn enemy Tian Lingzi, went to the emperor's study and persuaded him for a common reason. The purpose was to kill Li Chengye!

”No! Everyone knows that the Marquis of Li county is the pillar of the Tang Dynasty. If I kill him, who dares to work for the Tang Dynasty! Besides, if you kill him, who can help me calm down, it's up to you? ”

The emperor looked at Zhang Zhen, the defeated general, with a sarcastic look in his eyes.

Zhang Zhenxin was angry, but there was no expression on his face.

”Your Majesty, when the former Emperor was there, Li Chengye was loyal. But after the previous Shence mutiny, only Li Chengye can control these arrogant soldiers and valiant generals. In addition, his son Li Dingguo openly destroys peace and relatives and establishes his own vassal town. Do you dare to say that he is loyal? ”

Tian Lingzi looked at Zhang Zhen, hesitated and said, ”Your Majesty, the right Shence army can't be driven. The last time the left Shence mutiny, the right Shence army was vulnerable. It's enough to know that they are just a bunch of wine bags and rice bags.

Now the Zuo Shence army, the most capable of fighting in the court and more and more disobedient to the orders of the court, ignored the officials sent by the court and looted places many times. Such an army is no different from the tooth soldiers in the border town.

They only serve Li Chengye. It would be easy for Li Chengye to lead these proud soldiers into Beijing, control the lives of all civil and military officials in the court, and then control the whole Daming Palace. Your majesty, can you rest assured? ”
