Chapter 7 Liuzhou Rage surge

Let's say that the Huang Chao Northern Expedition left Guangzhou and killed Jiangnan. After several great victories, the Tang army broke his courage and the Qi army occupied most of the south of the Yangtze River, which shocked the four directions.

Lu Jingren was very happy to receive the good news from Huang Chao in Lianzhou. At this time, Lu Jingren's illness had recovered, and he decided to go south to Guangzhou to run Lingnan well and build a solid rear base for Daqi.

Lu Jingren discussed the march into Guangzhou with the generals in the Lianzhou government. A personal soldier came in and reported: "Master Luzhai, Liuzhou urgent report!"

Liuzhou? Isn't this the territory guarded by Li Tang and Dong Yue in Liuzhou? How could an emergency report be sent to me?" Lu Jingren asked.

The soldiers replied, "Chen Yanqian, Dong Yue's general, decided to rise up against the Tang Dynasty, but he only had more than a thousand soldiers, so he sent his deputy general Li Zhou to move here to ask for reinforcements. Li Zhou is now waiting outside."

"Li Zhou, please come in and talk!" Lu Jingren ordered.

After a while, Li Zhou came in and met Lu Jingren and the rest of the generals. Li Zhou talked about moving rescuers, just as his own soldiers said.

Lu Jingren pondered for a long time and said, "Brother Li Zhou, you came really in time. I was going to lead the main force south to Guangzhou to deal with Lingnan's military and political affairs. Now General Chen Yanqian is determined to oppose the Tang Dynasty and stand on the side of Daqi. We warmly welcome him. I will send Huang Xingcun and Yang Jingbiao to lead 10,000 troops to Liuzhou to help Chen Yanqian rise up against the Tang Dynasty and kill the dog officer Dong Yue!"

"Dong Yue is cruel and unkind. We have wanted to get rid of him for a long time, but because of his weak military strength, he did not dare to move lightly. We admire the lord of Luzhai and are willing to fight against the Tang Dynasty together under the leadership of the lord of Luzhai!" Li Zhou said excitedly.

Lu Jingren smiled modestly and said, "Brother Li Zhou, you have changed. Now take Huang Xingcun and Yang Jingbiao to Liuzhou. I wish you a smooth occupation of Liuzhou!"

It was late at night. In Liuzhou City, Chen Yanqian discussed the war against the Tang Dynasty with his cronies in his house. Chen Yanqian's eyes were clear, his face was firm, and his words were sonorous and powerful: "Brothers, Dong Yue is tyrannical. We have wanted to get rid of this thief for a long time. A few days ago, I sent Li Zhou to Lianzhou and asked General Lu Jingren to send reinforcements to work with us inside and abroad to take Liuzhou!"

When everyone heard this, they rubbed their hands and expressed their support for Chen Yanqian's uprising against the Tang Dynasty and joined the Daqi Uprising Army.

Chen Yanqian was overjoyed and continued to say, "General Lu Jingren has dispatched 10,000 soldiers and horses, led by Huang Xingcun and Yang Jingbiao, to Liuzhou, and has come to the city!" Li Zhou sent someone to sneak into the city last night and told me. Tomorrow, the Qi army will start to attack the East City, and we will kill the defenders and enlarge the Qi army into the city!"

Early the next morning, Huang Xingcun and Yang Jingbiao commanded the soldiers and horses to launch a fierce attack on the east city of Liuzhou. The volunteers went down the mountain like tigers, skillfully set up ladders and climbed to the top of the city. The arrows of the rebels made the Tang army unable to raise their heads.

Dong Yue was shocked and ordered the generals Hou Sang and Di Brown to lead their troops to Dongcheng to resist the attack of the Qi army. Dong Yue was born as a general and also personally went to Dongcheng to command the Tang army. Chen Yanqian was a general of Dong Yue. Naturally, he also followed Dong Yue to the east city of Liuzhou.

Dong Yue stood at the head of the city and kept shouting: "Other town generals are afraid of Huang Chao. I, Dong Yue, am not afraid! What's more, I'm not afraid of the reinforcements of Lu Jingren. Brothers of the Tang Dynasty, beat me hard and must guard Liuzhou! With my Dong Yue, Liuzhou will never be lost!"

As soon as Dong Yue's words fell, Chen Yanqian held the elephant nose ancient moon knife and suddenly walked behind Dong Yue's back and aimed at Dong Yue's neck and violently split it down! Before Dong Yue understood what was going on, he shouted, his neck blood splashed, fell to the ground, his limbs pedalled for a while, and died of breath.

Chen Yanqian took a step forward, cut off Dong Yue's head with a knife, picked it on the elephant nose ancient moon knife, and sounded like a bell: "Dong Yue is tyrannical and has been killed by me. Chen Yanqian is against Tang today! If you are willing to do it with me, open the gate together to welcome the Qi army in!"

When Dong Yue's own soldiers saw that Dong Yue was killed by Chen Yanqian, they couldn't help but be terrmented. After listening to Chen Yanqian's words, some of them put down their weapons and surrendered to Chen Yanqian. Chen Yanqian ordered to open the gate and let Huang Xingcun and Yang Jingbiao in.

Li Zhouma was the first to swing the six-edged water mill steel whip and entered the city. Huang Xingcun and Yang Jingbiao commanded the troops and horses to rush into Liuzhou City like a tide. Tang soldiers surrendered without escaping and disintegrated.

Hou Sang and Di Brown saw that the general situation had gone, so they had to take the remnants and fled to Yongzhou.

Huang Xingcun and Chen Yanqian ordered the people to open warehouses and release grain, and the military and the people were very happy. Since then, Liuzhou City has become one of the command centers of Daqi in southern Xinjiang. Daqi's influence in southern Xinjiang continues to expand, as if it is in the sky.
