Chapter 39 Burning Post 2

Xie Tong made a plan because Zhu Wen asked how to deal with Li Ke's arrogant performance at the banquet: "General Zhu, you are a ambitious commander of Fangzhen. In Xie's opinion, on your road to king's hegemony, you will inevitably encounter many obstacles, especially Li Keyong, who has been the king of the north, will definitely not defend himself in Bei'an. When the time is ripe, Li Ke will inevitably lead his troops to the Central Plains to compete with the princes for hegemony. Tonight, Li Ke stayed at Yuanyi, which is a good opportunity from God! General Zhu cut off this person and his party members on your territory while Li Ke is tired of people and seeking you, and will never suffer in the future! It's not too late to remove this stumbling block for you to dominate the heroes in the future. General Zhu, please make a decision as soon as possible!"

Zhu Wen listened to Xie Tong's words and really came to his heart. Zhu Wen thought that he had 100,000 fine armor and could completely dominate one side. This time, Li Ke ran to Bianzhou with this tiger, which is equivalent to entering my Zhu Asan's forest. When will I, Zhu Asan, not deal with you as a one-eyed dragon at this time?

Zhu Wen thought about it and said decisively, "Brothers, I think Li Tang is full of wounds and is not angry. No matter what, it is impossible to restore the prosperous atmosphere. It's hard enough for you to follow Zhu Asan's southern expedition to the north! In order to end this life as soon as possible and live a glorious and rich life, Zhu Asan will take you to do this ticket tonight! Mobilize the elite soldiers in Bianzhou City, surround Shangyuanyi, and kill all Li Ke's party! Would you like to do it?!"

"Do it!"

All the generals spoke in one voice.

Zhu Wen's eyes showed murderousness: "Okay! It's worthy of Zhu Asan's life and death brother! Shatuo soldiers are brave and good at fighting. Li Ke uses these 500 people and horses, which is equivalent to our 5,000 people and horses, so they can't besiege Shangyuanyi. They should not only fight hard, but also be wise. What can we do to solve the soldiers and horses used by Li Ke in one fell swoop?

Yang Yanhong said, "I think we can take advantage of the current dry weather to besiege Shangyuanyi and let Li Ke's elite soldiers be buried in the sea of fire!"

The generals listened and agreed with Yang Yanhong's approach.

Pang Shigu shouted, "Brother, order it. We all listen to you!"

Zhu Wensi thought for a moment and issued a combat order: "Each department connected the carriage and fenced it with trees to block the main road! Then set fire! Burn Shangyuanyi to the flat ground! The specific arrangements are as follows: Zhu Zhen and Pang Shigu led 3,000 troops to block Shangyuanyi East Road; Uncle Cong and Li Hui led 3,000 troops to set up an ambush in the south of Shangyuanyi; Ge Congzhou and Huo Cun led 3,000 troops to intercept the Shatuo army from the west of Shangyuanyi; Ding Hui and Wang Wu led 3,000 troops to set up an ambush in the north of Shangyuanyi. I, Yanhong and Xie Tong led 3,000 soldiers and coordinated the four soldiers. This 15,000 man and horse want to surround Shangyuanyi with an iron barrel similarly. Even if Li Keyong has three heads and six arms, he can't escape the trap! Hahahaha! Li Keyi, you are going to die tonight!"

After Li Ke brought the dancer Xiao Yuan to Shangyuanyi, he entered the room and fell asleep with Xiao Yuan in his arms. Seeing this, Xue Zhiqin was very anxious. He quickly called the bodyguard Guo Jingbaa and ordered, "Jingbaa, General Li drank too much tonight and was drunk. When I left the Bianzhou government office with General Li, I saw that Zhu Wen's face was unhappy, and there seemed to be a trace of murderousness between his eyebrows! So tonight you must be vigilant and guard General Li. When you find the abnormal situation outside, immediately wake up General Li! I'm in the next room. The horses are in the backyard, and you have to send your own soldiers to guard them. If Zhu Wen leads troops to attack and our horses are captured, we will all have to lose our lives in Shangyuanyi. Do you understand?

Guo Jingqi replied loudly, "General Xue, please rest assured that even if Jingqi is worried, he should protect General Li's safety!" Because General Li is the patron saint of our Shatuo people. To protect General Li is to protect the Shatuo tribe!"

Tianjiao Ergu, the fire suddenly hit the sky around Shangyuanyi, thick smoke rolling, and killing sounds everywhere. These people arranged by Zhu Wen launched an attack on Shangyuanyi at the same time!

Guo Jingshu noticed it at the first time of the raid by the Tongzhou army. He quickly ordered his own soldiers to rush out of Shangyuanyi and fight with the Tongzhou soldiers. Then he walked into Li Ke's room, put out the candles, helped Li Ke hide under the bed, watered Li Ke's face with cold water, and slowly told him the disaster.

Li Ke was shocked and began to open his eyes and pull the bow and arrow. Xue Zhiqin also came to Li Keyong's side at this time and ordered Sha Tuo soldiers to open their bows and shoot arrows at the Tongzhou soldiers who rushed to Yuanyi and set fire. After a while, hundreds of fellow state soldiers fell around Shangyuanyi.

Xue Zhiqin shouted, "Brother Ke Yong, the first attack of the same state soldiers was repulsed by us! Now that there are not many arrows in our arrow pot, we must rush out of Shangyuanyi immediately!"

Li Ke scolded, "Zhu Asan, you are raised! How dare you harm me when I'm drunk? If I rush out of Shangyuanyi tonight, he will take troops to Tongzhou every day, destroy all your soldiers and horses, and dismember your Zhu'a three horses! Brothers Shatuo, let me rush out and kill Shangyuanyi!"

Little Yuan rushed to Li Keyong's side, grabbed Li Ke's legs and cried, "General Li, take the slave family together!" If you don't take me away, Zhu Wen won't let me go!"

Li Ke showed his fierce eyes: "Well, you bitch, how dare you lie to me! You must know that Zhu Asan's troops will attack Shangyuanyi tonight! Damn, I'll kill you first!"

Xiao Yuan was frightened: "No, General Li, I really didn't know it would be like this! General Li, take me away, even if I go to the ends of the earth, the slave family will always follow you!"

Li Ke couldn't help saying that he cut Xiao Yuan with a sword. The poor and beautiful Xiao Yuan suddenly became the ghost under the sword!

Chen Jingsi walked to Li Keyan and said loudly, "Keyong, you led the army south to help the Tang Dynasty because of my persuasion! Jingsi is ashamed of what happened tonight! You and General Xue led the troops to rush forward, and I will break the back! As long as someone rushes out of Bianzhou City, he must report to His Majesty about Zhu Asan's attack on Shangyuanyi tonight! You can't take this Zhu Asan cheap! He is so lawless!"

Li Ke listened, nodded, held Chen Jingsi's hand tightly, and said emotionally, "Jingsi, it's rare that you trust me so much. You are my most trusted Han Chinese! The situation is critical, and I won't argue with you. Just do as you say!"

Under the command of Li Keyong, Shatuo's soldiers began to break through to the south of Shangyuanyi. In order to confuse Zhu Wen, Chen Jingsi and Guo Jingba took some Shatuo soldiers to break out to the west. They were surrounded by Ge Congzhou and Huo Cun's corps. After a fierce battle, Chen Jingsi and Guo Jingba's Shatuo soldiers and horses were destroyed, and Chen Jingsi Guo Jingbah also died in the battle.

Li Keyong and Xue Zhiqin broke out to the south. Because the fire was too big, thick smoke and fire rushed from all sides and killed several times, but it was difficult to get out of the siege.

Uncle Cong and Li Hui took the same state soldiers and horses to kill Li Keyong and Xue Zhiqin's breakthrough point!

Uncle Keng shouted, "Li Keyi, your martial arts skills are unrivaled, but you will definitely not be able to run away from Shangyuanyi tonight. Get off the horse and surrender, hahaha!"

Li Ke gritted his teeth, opened his bow and shot an arrow at Uncle Cong, and an arrow shot at Uncle Cong's helmet.

Uncle Zong was furious: "One-eyed dragon, dozens of people, do you still want to resist my thousands of soldiers? Brothers, rush and kill all these Shatuo barbarians!"

At this time, Xue Zhiqin came to Li Keyong's side and said desperately, "Brother Keyong, we have been fighting for many years, which can be said to be heroic and invincible. Doesn't God bless us and want us to die in Shangyuanyi?"

Li Ke looked up to the sky and sighed: "It's a pity that Li Ke didn't listen to my beloved wife's words and strayed into Bianzhou and fell into Zhu Asan! Now there are only dozens of personal soldiers around. There is a fire outside, and the soldiers from the same state are surrounded by iron barrels. Is it going to kill me, Shatuo?

Suddenly, lightning and thunder, the sky and the earth were dark, and it rained heavily! The fire suddenly disappeared!

Li Ke shouted wildly, "Brother Shato, God has come to help us! Kill it!"

Li Keyong and Xue Zhiqin, with dozens of Shatuo soldiers, broke through the wall and rushed south in the light of lightning. Uncle Cong and Li Hui ordered the Tongzhou soldiers to guard the bridge and try their best to block it.

Li Ke roared, * rouge horse, raised the tiger halberd, flew in with a horse, overturned more than a dozen state soldiers one after another, and killed them from the bridge. Xue Zhiqin patted the horse and danced the horse and followed with Shatuo soldiers. After a bloody battle, Li Keyong and Xue Zhiqin finally rushed out of the siege, boarded the south gate of Bianzhou City, tied their bodies with ropes and slipped down to escape. At this time, only a few Shatuo soldiers were followed. Other soldiers and horses of Shatuo are not in the city.

Yang Yanhong said to Zhu Quanzhong, "The Hu people in the north ride horses when there is an emergency. When we see a horseman, we shoot him." That night, Yang Yanhong happened to appear in front of Zhu Quanzhong on horseback. Zhu Quanzhong immediately shot an arrow and shot Yang Yanhong to death.

After Li Keyong and Xue Zhiqin returned to the southern camp in Bianzhou, they told Liu Danhua and Shatuo about their escape. The generals of Shatuo shouted that they would lead troops into Bianzhou City to avenge this.

Li Danhua said, "This revenge should not be rushed! If we want to enter Bianzhou and run away Zhu Asan, on the surface, we will win, but in fact, we will lose even worse!"

Li Ke was very surprised: "Danhua, what do you say?"

Liu Danhua said, "Keye, you fight against the thieves for the country and relieve the urgent needs of all the officers and soldiers in the east. This time, Zhu Asan's group was unkind and plotted to kill you. You should go to the court. If you lead people to attack him without authorization, then who in the world can distinguish the right and wrong of this matter? And that will make Zhu Asan have something to say.

Li Ke listened and thought for a while. He listened to Liu Danhua's words and set out for Jinyang. Before leaving, Li Ke wrote a letter to blame Zhu Wen and asked Zhu Wen to catch the arsonist.

After reading the letter used by Li Ke, Zhu Wen felt embarrassed. I replied and lied that the chaos the night before yesterday. I really don't know that it was planned by the envoy sent by the court and Yang Yanhong. Since Yang Yanhong has been executed, I can only ask you to observe and forgive me.

Soon, Li Ke arrived near Xuzhou with his troops and borrowed food from Zhou Wei. Zhou Wei did not lend it to the Shatuo army on the pretext of food shortage. Li Ke had no choice but to plunder, and then cross the north of the Yellow River and return to Jinyang.

After Li Keyong returned to Jinyang, he immediately wrote a memorial, reported Zhu Wen's behavior to Li Yan, and asked the court to treat Zhu Wen's crime. Li Yan looked at it and said no for a long time, so he asked the ministers for advice. The ministers looked at each other and no one said anything.
