How could Lu Zhaoci, who was under the city, know what was happening on top of the city? Although it could be judged from some clues transmitted by Fang Xuanling. Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande may have known about this rebellion from within the Tang Dynasty. But it was also

It was just military cooperation. They didn't realize that Yin Mingkong, who hated him to the core, had actually rushed to the far northwest to cause trouble for him.

As for coming to see the topography, it was even more helpless. Li Xiuning thought that just like when he was in Guanzhong, he insisted on coming to see the topography of Qingzhou as a reference. Lu Zhaoci had no choice but to accompany him.

"General, this Yang Wenqian has probably wanted to rebel for a long time. Look at this city wall, its height is almost the same as that of Chang'an City. Do the local counties also require such a high wall?" Li Xiuning raised her small hand.

The horsewhip pointed at the Gyeongju Fortress Wall Road opposite.

"Not bad." Although Lu Zhaoci knew that Li Xiuning's move was suspected of exonerating Li Jiancheng, he had to admit that the height of the Qingzhou city wall was suspected of violating regulations, which also showed from a certain perspective that Yang Wenqian did have

There are signs of rebellion. It's just that this time they borrowed the east wind from Li Jiancheng.

"The defense of Qingzhou city is so strong, how will the general prepare to attack?" Li Xiuning showed a look of worry on his face. If the number is doubled, he will attack, and if he is ten, he will surround him. However, Lu Zhaoci did not have these two points. Not only that, even his subordinates

The soldiers and horses of Yang Wenqian are not as good as Yang Wenqian's army. If he attacks by force, he may not be able to defeat Yang Wenqian, and even his own army will be destroyed.

"Let's see." Lu Zhaoci didn't have any worries on his face. Instead, he sat on his horse and looked at Qingzhou from a distance, as if he was admiring some beautiful scenery.

"Humph, my father asked our army to capture Qingzhou earlier." Seeing Lu Zhaoci's relaxed look, Li Xiuning felt slightly angry in his heart and couldn't help but speak out.

"Let's go! There is nothing interesting in this Qingzhou city." Lu Zhaoci glanced at Qingzhou, but found no loopholes. He sighed slightly in his heart and prepared to withdraw to the camp. After all, this is Qingzhou.

But not in other places, if Yang Wenqian of Qingzhou sends troops to pursue him, he and others will become turtles in the urn. They will not be able to escape even if they want to.

"Why, the brave general is also scared." Li Xiuning sneered. Not only did the war horse under his crotch not return, but it still ran towards the north. Seeing this, Lu Zhaoci had no choice but to follow closely, behind him

The escort soldiers also followed.

In Qingzhou Mansion, Yang Wenqian and Yang Rui were sitting opposite each other. Yang Wenqian had a sad look on his face, but only Yang Rui's eyes were wide open and his face was arrogant, obviously angry that Yang Wenqian had not killed Yin Mingkong just now.

"Da Lang, although Yin Mingkong is related to Lu Zhaoci by marriage, Lu Zhaoci is the culprit of his family's destruction. He will not help Lu Zhaoci." Yang Wengan shook his head and sighed: "Just now someone

I have indeed offended him. This is not good. Lu Zhaoci has led a large army to attack, and he will inevitably have to rely on him in the future, and he will also need to come and go between Wang Shichong. It is not a good thing to offend him at this time!"

"Uncle is worrying too much." Yang Rui smiled nonchalantly and said, "Uncle thinks it's Wang Shichong who wants something from us, or we want something from Wang Shichong!"

"Of course we, Qingzhou, have turned to Wang Shichong for help. Wang Shichong has many soldiers and enough food, and can hold off Li Yuan's army for us. Without their support, Lu Zhaoci will not lead an army of tens of thousands this time, but hundreds of thousands.

The army is here." Yang Wenqian said without thinking.

"No, uncle. You are wrong. It is Wang Shichong who is begging us." Yang Rui showed a look of pride on his face and raised his head and said, "Not only is Wang Shichong begging us, but Dou Jiande is also begging us.

I'm afraid it won't be long before Xiao Mian will also come to beg us. In their eyes, our Qingzhou is the stick that changes the situation in the world, the quagmire that drags down Li Tang's soldiers and horses. If I, Qingzhou, can exist in the world twice a year,

Years are enough to change the general trend of the world, and they have enough time to unite and deal with Li Tang together. So they don't want Qingzhou to be destroyed by Lu Zhaoci like this. As long as my uncle can resist Lu Zhaoci

The first attack will show them the strength of Gyeongju, and their help will come continuously. So, it is not that we are begging them, but they are begging us, not to mention it is a yin and ming empty.

Even if there are ten people like Yin Mingkong, it won’t be a big deal if we kill them. So uncle, don’t worry.”….

"This Yin Mingkong still has some talents." Yang Wenqian showed a trace of thinking on his face, and said thoughtfully: "We did things under Lu Zhaoci at the beginning, and some of his things also spread throughout our Tang Dynasty, faintly

Become the number one person in the military world. Even I am a little scared when I see him. Every move he makes will be pondered by us, and we will study everything in it to see if there is any other meaning. Although we can guarantee that we will not make mistakes,

But sometimes, many opportunities are missed. However, Yin Mingkong is different. Maybe what he said today is true and it is unknown."

"What uncle is talking about is Lu Zhaoci's move to spy on our army's reality just now?" Yang Rui sneered: "Uncle, if you wanted to spy on the reality of our army's camp, would you be so blatant? After all, Lu Zhaoci is also a general, commander in chief.

The three armies, as the prince of the imperial court, will not take his own life seriously? My nephew thought that Lu Zhaoci was trying to force our army out of the city."

"Yes, you think so, and I think so too. But we can't watch Lu Zhaoci wandering around the city? If word of this spreads, it will have a great impact on the morale of our army. Even if we send out hundreds of people,

It's good to deal with it. Even if we are ambushed by the other party, there are only a few hundred people." Yang Wenqian stood up, with a trace of anger flashing in his eyes. He felt a little embarrassed by Lu Zhaoci's actions.

"Commander, Lu Zhaoci has led a dozen people to the north gate." At this time, the soldiers came in and reported: "A few brothers with sharp ears also heard the voice of a woman among the dozen people."

"What? There's a woman?" Yang Rui's eyes lit up. Needless to say, the identity of the woman who could be accompanied by Lu Zhaoci personally.

"Lu Zhaoci is really deceiving people." Yang Wenqian did not take that woman's word into his heart, but was angry at Lu Zhaoci's behavior. In order to block Yang Wenqian's eastward march, Lu Zhaoci's army stationed at the east gate.

Lu Zhaoci actually rushed from the east gate to the north gate, circling a quarter and a half of Qingzhou City. He really did not take the garrison of Qingzhou City into consideration. No wonder Yang Wenqian was very angry.

.

"Uncle, this is a good opportunity! A rare good opportunity, but there are traps in it. We have to pursue it." Yang Rui's eyes lit up and he said loudly.

"Not bad." Yang Wenqian nodded.

"Uncle, who do you think the woman in Lu Zhaoci's team is? Lu Zhaoci is also a general after all. Doesn't he understand that there can't be women in the army? He actually brought a woman with him.

According to my nephew, this Lu Zhaoci is nothing more than running the army." Yang Rui said disdainfully.

"Nonsense." Yang Wengan snorted coldly. A trace of thought appeared on his face and he said: "Dalang didn't say it just now, so I almost forgot. Lu Zhaoci is very strict in governing the army. All merits and demerits are rewarded and punished, and the military morale is high.

He Zire knew that he couldn't bring women with him. As far as I knew, Lu Zhaoci had never brought women with him when he was marching in the army, except for one time when he brought a woman with him, and the status of this woman was very noble. No.

I don’t know if the female family member Lu Zhaoci brought this time is her. If it is her, it would be quite normal."

"Who is uncle talking about?" Yang Rui asked curiously.

"Princess Pingyang." Yang Wenqian snorted coldly: "Only she, the royal princess, would appear next to Lu Zhaoci. It is said that she and Lu Zhaoci loved each other, but because Lu Zhaoci killed Chai Shao that year,

Li Yuan did not marry her, and only she would appear next to Lu Zhaoci. It seems that she must be the one beside Lu Zhaoci."

"Uncle, if it's really her, she's a big fish!" Yang Rui's eyes flashed and he couldn't help but say.

"Yes, if we can catch her, she is indeed a big fish. Dalang, you personally lead the three hundred cavalry to capture Lu Zhaoci." Yang Wenqian's eyes flashed with determination, and he said: "If there is an ambush, I will personally attack.

I will also protect you.”….

"Okay. Nephew, let's go now." Yang Rui laughed loudly and said, "When my nephew catches Princess Pingyang, let her give my nephew a few more sons and humiliate Mr. Li Yuan."

"This Lu Zhaoci is very brave, Da Lang must be careful." Yang Wenqian warned: "If you can't catch it, forget it. As long as we hold Qingzhou and your father is in charge of Lingzhou, the longer it takes, the worse it will be for us.

The more advantageous it is. What we lack is time."

"Don't worry, uncle, my nephew will be back in a moment." Although Yang Rui said so, in fact, he had already made up his mind to capture Lu Zhaoci and Li Xiuning.

Within a moment, the north gate of Qingzhou was seen wide open, and three hundred cavalry, led by Yang Rui, quickly ran out and attacked Lu Zhaoci and others.

"General, there are enemy troops coming." Lu Zhaoci and others were watching the city defense of Qingzhou when they heard the soldiers saying loudly.

At this time, Lu Zhaoci realized that he and others had deviated from the direction of the military camp, and there was a black smoke billowing straight up in the distance. It was obvious that a large group of people were coming to kill them.

"What should we do?" Li Xiuning's face showed a trace of worry. At this time, she couldn't help but regret it. If it weren't for her, how would these people come here? Now, the other party is going to kill her. She is dead.

However, Lu Zhaoci is responsible for the safety of the three armies. Once something happens, half of the army will be destroyed. When Wang Shichong and others get the news, they will launch the most violent attack on Datang, and Datang will be in danger again.

.

"He Bao, quickly protect the general and kill him. I will resist here." At this moment, Li Xiuning's eyes flashed with determination. Lu Zhaoci must not die. Whether it is for personal or official reasons. He Bao is He Panren.

His son is tall and strong, but he has the appearance of a Central Plains man, different from his father.

"Yes." He Baohu's eyes flashed and his eyes focused. Although he understood the consequences of Li Xiuning staying here, he also understood in his heart that the three armies could do without this supervisor, but the three armies could not do without the commander-in-chief Lu Zhaoci.

"What are you doing?" Lu Zhaoci looked at the cold woman next to him and sighed deeply.

"The three armies cannot live without their commander-in-chief." There was a look in Li Xiuning's beautiful eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a hint of coldness. She said coldly: "The reason why I am going to die is not because of anything between you and me.

But because I, the Tang Dynasty, need you. I died for the Tang Dynasty, not for you."

"Of course I know this." A smile appeared at the corner of Lu Zhaoci's mouth. But there was a complicated look in his eyes, and he said lightly: "In that case, I will leave first. Hey, Yuchi Jingde, how did he come here?

?" But he pointed back.

"Where?" Li Xiuning was stunned when he heard the words. He turned around and looked around, only to find that there was no one behind him. He immediately knew that he had been fooled. Just as he was about to tell the difference, he felt a pain in the back of his head. He felt a pain in the back of his head and suddenly lost consciousness.

.

"He Bao, you take the princess and go around the city. I will personally cut off the rear for you. Hey, go and lure them away." Lu Zhaoci took the Fangtian Painted Halberd from the winning hook.

"General." The faces of He Bao and others changed, with tears in their eyes, and they loudly said: "General, you go first, I will wait for you."

"This is a military order and you must not disobey it." Lu Zhaoci looked at the sky calmly and said: "Don't worry, my horse is extremely strong and strong. It is a rare horse with blood. Even if it cannot be defeated, it can still escape.

Come on. Let's go! If we don't leave, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave. He Bao, remember that the princess cannot fall into the hands of the rebels. Even if you die, the princess cannot die."

"Old 2, you and your brothers will protect the general and find reinforcements for your brother." He Bao said after scanning a few guards.

"Brother, let's go quickly. We will defend the general to the death." The remaining guards looked stern and immediately moved their horses slightly to protect Lu Zhaoci in the middle. He Bao also knew that time was urgent and would not leave at this time.

, I’m afraid I can’t leave anymore, and I’m going to implicate the princess, so I might as well go back to the camp early and ask for reinforcements, maybe I can save everyone’s lives, I don’t know.

"Haha, there are only three hundred cavalry, and they dare to take my life, Lu Zhaoci." After He Bao took Li Xiuning away, Lu Zhaoci rode his horse and looked at the original cavalry, laughing loudly.

When the cavalry around him saw this, he couldn't help but feel relieved, and his originally solemn expression became much more relaxed.

"Look at me shooting them." Lu Zhaoci laughed loudly, took a bow and arrow from the side of the horse, opened the bow and shot. Originally, Lu Zhaoci's archery skills were not good, and his accuracy was even worse, but who told him that he was strong.

There was only a sound of teeth grinding, and then a sharp whistle sounded, and a cavalryman who was still a hundred steps away fell down. I was afraid that it was too late. When the dozens of guards around him saw this, they couldn't help cheering.
