The good eldest son, Murong Nobunaga, was Li Siyuan's son-in-law. Li Siyuan's fifteenth daughter, Princess Yongle, could enter the palace at any time and was called a good daughter-in-law by Zhang Zhang.

Li Siyuan's only bloodline, Li Congyi, was Zhang Gao's adopted son and always accompanied him. Zhang Gao's adopted daughter married Li Siyuan's grandson Zhao Kuangzan.

Ugh! It's really messy.

But chaos returned to chaos, Zhang Yan took over Daibei, and the bond between Hedong warriors lies in this somewhat messy relationship.

So Shi Hongzhao called several Taiyuan soldiers. Not only did Li Shousi give fluent answers about the local dialect and the situation in Taiyuan, but several of them even recognized who Li Shousi was.

After all, although Li Rong did not become a general, he also served as the commander of the inner palace and the commander of Konghe in the Later Tang Dynasty.

The birthplaces and resumes of both parties revealed that Shi Hongzhao, a native of Yingze, Zhengzhou, was not as good as Li Shousi, whose roots were Hongmiao Zheng.

Now that he had no doubts anymore, Shi Hongzhao rewarded Li Shousi with two pieces of brocade and asked him to carry the brocade up the mountain and report to Li Rong. Li Rong immediately threw down more than a hundred pieces of weapons and armor from the mountain to show his sincerity.

Shi Hongzhao felt more relieved, seeing that the speed of the Zhang River had begun to slow down, so he ordered his brother Shi Wen to leave 1,500 men to guard the fortress, while he personally led the remaining 3,500 men down the Zhang River.

Attack the Hexi soldiers trapped in shallow water.

Shi Hongzhao also ordered Shi Wen to just stick to the fort and not open the gate, but to still maintain a certain degree of vigilance against Li Rong.

However, Li Rong was even more clever. He trapped the hands and feet of dozens of soldiers and ordered them to kneel on the hillside to once again show his sincerity.

When Shi Wen saw that Li Rong first gave away the hostages, then threw away the weapons and armor, and finally tied up the Hexi soldiers for him to see, Shi Wen had already lost his vigilance and felt that his brother was too worried.

....

It was only April at this time, and the weather was still very cold. Huang Yingda's thousands of Uighurs had been soaking in the water all night, and they were already unable to hold on.

The terrain in the mountain where Zhang Zhaojun camped was limited, and it was impossible to put everyone ashore. Even to resist the Hedong Army's attack, people still needed to form formations in the water.

Guo Wei saw this and released the water in the middle of the night. As he expected, Huang Yingda's 1,500 men were washed away by the water all night. They would be at their limit until dawn and could not form an array in the water at all.

So he only needed to kill these more than a thousand people to easily trap Zhang Zhaojun, and then force the Zhou army to wade into the water to rescue him.

But when Guo Wei personally led Bai Zairong, Shi Hongzhao, Li Chongjin, Wang Jingchong and other generals with ten thousand soldiers to cross the water to attack, they had to sigh after seeing the situation.

It turned out that those wading into the water opposite him were not Huang Yingda's Uighur followers, but Zhang Zhaojun's more than a thousand Zuo Jinwu guards.

In Guo Wei's opinion, these must be the extremely proud soldiers of the Zhou Kingdom. Instead of shrinking, they gave up the clean land to Huang Yingda's tribe. He stood in the water and formed an array, lit a few firewood, and took out medicinal materials to treat colds.

, brewing medicine for the Uighur followers.

Zhang Zhaojun looked at the banner of the Hedong Army in the distance, his head burning with anger. This was the first time he had suffered such a big loss.

This fierce general of the Yuan Cong faction stood in the water with a hard bow in his hand and shouted angrily, "The bandits from Hedong think that our horses can't do it and they can easily defeat me on foot.

Humph! How can Xia Chong talk about ice? Let them see the power of my Hexi heroes."

The soldiers of Zuojinwu Guards responded with a bang and their morale was high.

Huang Yingda, who was repairing at a high place, listened to the noise outside and shouted unusually calmly to the commander who was drinking medicine.

"We were originally here to support Zuo Jinwu Guards, but now we have dragged them down. This is our shame!

Only blood can wash away the great disgrace I have suffered today. I, Huang Yingda, am sorry for you. After a good rest, I will fight to the death and see you all again in the underworld."

The entire Uighur Yi Cong, more than a thousand people, blushed with shame. The Ganzhou Uighurs were the life-and-death enemies of the Han'er in the Uighur Yi army. This time, the two battalions of the Uighur Yi Cong were actually Zhang Yan who risked being called a woman.

He took the risk out of benevolence and insisted on saving it.

Now that they have not made any achievements and are dragging down friendly forces, everyone wants to rush out immediately to avenge their previous humiliation.

At the fortress on the mountain, Li Rong sent Li Shousi down again to inform Shi Wen, saying that Li Rong would personally take dozens of prisoners of the Hexi soldiers to visit him, and was also willing to give Shi Wen ten cloth-covered iron armor collars as a meeting gift. Shi Wen would definitely not come.

reject.

As soon as Li Shousi left, Li Rong summoned the officers above the military squadron.

"Four of the five thieves from the east of the river have been eliminated. Our enemies are outnumbered. Although they are strong as a fortress, they are not strong enough to defend them. This is a God-given opportunity!

If we can capture it in one fell swoop, seize its boats, and use our rafts to attack the backs of the bandits from the east of the river, it will be a great achievement.

Can our Yicheng Army become a Yicheng Town or even a Yicheng Guard? Can we bless our descendants? It all depends on this one blow!

A certain Li Rong only keeps heroes and warriors. Cowards and cowards can stay here!"

After hearing this, all the officers of the Yicheng Army gathered around Li Rong and replied in a low voice: "I am willing to follow the soldiers and horses to win eternal wealth!"

....

Although Zhang Yan from Yecheng did not know that Guo Wei had released Zhang Shui and left Huang Yingda in a state of embarrassment, he had quickly adopted Murong Nobunaga's advice.

As soon as daybreak, Zhang Gao immediately ordered Yan Jin to march 15,000 troops westward to the mouth of Hezhang Valley, repel Guo Wei's army, and rescue Zhang Zhaojun, Huang Yingda and others.

Zhang Gao even left his trusted generals Zhang Zhaozhong and Zhang Zhaojiu, as well as seven hundred infantry soldiers in Hanshan, to Yan Jin.

Moreover, Zhang Gao asked Yan Jin to display all his ceremonial guards, including yellow umbrellas, large banners, Sanchen flags, etc., making Guo Wei think that he personally led the army to relieve the siege. Yecheng was temporarily guarded by He Fujin.

Among the troops still in Xiangzhou, Zhang Jian ordered Feng Hui and Luo Shande to lead an army of 20,000 troops and immediately stationed in Yecheng. The gold and silver coins were also left here. After Guo Wei returned to Fuyang, he immediately blew up Fuyang City.

He then ordered Fan Quan to lead an infantry of 10,000 horses and take the 150 cyclone cannons from the Shenji Battalion, and leave Weizhou along the Yongji Canal to Beizhou, thinking that the troops were suspicious and pretending to support Fu Yanqing.

After making these arrangements, Zhang Hao personally mobilized the left and right Yulin Guards, the left and right Longxiang Guards, the right Jinwu Guards, the right Qianniu Guards, and the Forbidden Army's 17,000 good cavalry and archers, as well as 6,000 elite righteous followers, for a total of 23,000 thousand.

Leading 21 generals including Murong Nobunaga, Li Cunhui, Bai Congxin, Zhang Zhaojie, Fanshun, Wang Tongxin, Zhang Cheng, Zhao Yanjin, Zhao Kuangyin, Murong Yanzhao, Wang Shenqi, Wang Quanbin, Feng Jiye, He Jijun, Hou Renbao, Zhang Xibao, etc., elite Get out.

It was up to him, the emperor, to personally go into battle, sneak through the battlefield before Liu Zhiyuan besieged Beizhou, and give his good nephew and uncle Yelu Ruan a surprise first.
