Chapter 33 Encirclement of Chenzhou 1

Pi Rixiu, a bachelor of Hanlin of Daqi, died generously in the flames because of the loss of the capital, which moved Cui Yu. After Tang Bing captured Cui Xuan, if he got the treasure, he immediately sent him to Yang Fuguang's place to invite meritorious service and reward.

Yang Fuguang looked at Cui Qian and said with a treacherous smile: "Cui University scholar, I didn't expect us to meet on such an occasion!"

Cui Xuan held his head high and said coldly, "What did you say today in the hands of Yang Fuguang?! Let's do it. Isn't it just killing anti-Tang Yishi? Call the knife and axe, and sacrifice your life for Daqi, which is the greatest blessing in Cui Yu's life!"

Yang Fuguang gritted his teeth and pretended to be kind: "Cui University scholar was born in a noble family and full of experience. Why did he bend himself to be a thief? If you write a letter of repentance now, then I, Yang, will think nothing has happened! It not only saved your life, but also reported to the court to let you continue to be a high-ranking official of the Tang Dynasty! How about it? Think about it! The opportunity is right in front of you, and it depends on whether you can seize it?!"

Cui Wei spat at Yang Fuguang: "Bah! Shameless Yang Gou, you are just a watchdog of Li Tang, a castrated beast! Who is qualified to talk to the officials of the Daqi Ministry?! When I talk to you, I will blush for you!"

Yang Fuguang listened and became angry: "Well, you Cui Xuan, a sour scribe, dares to insult Tang Dutong! I let you scold! I let you scold! Come on, cut off the tongue of the traitor Cui Xuan, drag it out of the door, and divide the body of five horses. Don't set up a grave for him and throw it directly into the wild!"

Poor Cui Xuan, a servant of the official department of the great Qi Dynasty, died tragically at the hands of Yang Fuguang, the eunuch.

Yang Fuguang sent envoys to report the victory to Li Yan of Tang Xizong, and hundreds of officials from the court came to Li Yan to congratulate him on the victory. Li Yan issued an edict, appointing Wang Hui, the left-behind in Daming Palace, and Tian Cong to deal with it, and guard Chang'an.

Soon, the Li Tang court appointed Zhu Mei, Li Keyong and Dongfang Kui as Tongping and appointed Wang Chongying as the governor of Shaanxi. He also established the Baosai Army in Yanzhou and appointed Sima and Li Xiaogong, the governor of the Baoda March and Yanzhou, as jiedushi.

When Meng Kai led the first army of Daqi to pass through Caizhou, Qin Zongquan, the governor of Li Tang and Caizhou, did not measure his strength and led the troops to fight. He was defeated by the Daqi army.

Qin Zongquan was so scared that he huddled in Caizhou City and dared not come out. Meng Kai ordered to attack Caizhou City. After only a long time, Qin Zongquan saw that the generals of Daqi could be used to fighting and expected that he could not defend the city, so he wrote a letter and sent a messenger to Meng Kai, claiming that he was a minister to Daqi, and his soldiers and horses were willing to obey the dispatch of the Daqi court.

After discussing with the generals, Meng Kai decided to accept Qin Zongquan's request for surrender. Meng Kai ordered Qin Zongquan to drive his troops out of the city and accept the adaptation.

Qin Zongquan did not dare to disobey and did it completely according to Meng Kai's requirements.

Meng Kai was overjoyed and wrote a military letter to briefly describe the surrender of Qin Zongquan. Send his own soldiers with military letters to Lantian Pass and submit them to Huang Chao, the emperor of the Qi Dynasty.

Huang Chao finished reading the letter and frowned.

Cao Min walked to Huang Chao and saw that Huang Chao was worried. Cao Min couldn't help asking, "Your Majesty, look sad. Is Meng Kai's first army defeated?"

Huang Chao shook his head gently: "Madam, Meng Kai has captured Caizhou, and Qin Zongquan surrendered to Daqi. This was a good thing, but I saw Meng Kai's proud attitude in the letter, and I was afraid that he would underestimate the enemy before attacking Chenzhou! You know, the soldier said, "The proud soldier will be defeated!" This is an iron law that is not easy for thousands of years!"

After listening to Huang Chao's words, Cao Min felt the seriousness of the situation. She quickly said, "Your Majesty, write a letter quickly and send a quick horse to Caizhou! Let Meng Kai rest more days in Caizhou and be ready to attack Chenzhou!"

Huang Chao sighed: "Why don't I want to do this? But according to Meng Kai's nature, ten * are on the way to attack Chenzhou! Alas, I can only try my best. Order the three armies to leave a few soldiers and horses to garrison at Lantian Pass, continue to monitor the Tang army, and the rest of the soldiers and horses rise up and march to Caizhou! We must fully cooperate with the First Army of Daqi to take Chenzhou!"
