Chapter 59 Chapter Fifty-ninth: The Death of All the Soldiers in Suiyang City Zhang Cong Zhou Fu Kills Lu Qiuxiao

Before Luoyang recovered, Yin Ziqi was still fighting Suiyang to death, costing tens of thousands of lives. It was obvious that Yin Ziqi was crazy. He dispatched more than 100,000 troops to face Suiyang, which only had more than 1,000 people.Zhang Hao, the new prime minister of the imperial court, is the Jiedu envoy of Henan himself, and it is fine if He Lan Jinming does not make a move. Zhang Hao spreads the message to the Jiedu envoys in East Zhejiang, West Zhejiang, Huainan, Beihai, and Lu Qiuxiao, the prefect of Qiao County, and asks them to gather everyone , Rescue Zhang Xun together.

But I don't know what great things this group of people have done under Yang Guozhong, but they are all very arrogant.Especially Lu Qiuxiao, who was the closest, didn't obey orders, didn't want to send troops, and didn't dare to send troops. He was afraid of being flattened by the sea, so he stayed put and waited for Zhang Hao to gather troops from various places to rescue Suiyang.Gathering people from afar to rescue Suiyang was slow. Suiyang had run out of ammunition and food, and countless people died of starvation. Someone proposed to abandon the city and go east to continue fighting.But this completely deviates from the original intention of defending Suiyang. Zhang Xun also knows that the defense will inevitably fall, but he analyzed that judging from the current situation, the bandit army is full and our army has been hungry for such a long time. , will die cleanly.

Zhang Xun encouraged everyone. In ancient times, the princes of the Warring States were in danger, and they all rescued each other. What's more, today are the generals of the Tang Dynasty. I might as well stick to it and wait for rescue! The tea paper was gone, everyone started to eat the war horse, and after eating the war horse, they started to eat the squirrel, and the squirrel was gone... Everyone didn't flee, because everyone knew that when the bandit army captured the city, those children who were born and died fighting could only die worse.If you don't escape, you are going to die.There were still 400 people left in Suiyang City. A few days later, the rebel army had enough to eat and drink, and climbed up the city wall clamoring.Tang soldiers were all plagued by plague and could not fight.

Suiyang City fell just like that, and up to now there has not been half a rescuer.Under the eyes of everyone, Zhang Xun, who was covered in bruises, bowed to the west three times, and roared: "The minister is exhausted, and the whole city cannot be used. There is no way to repay your majesty in life, and death should be a ghost to kill thieves!" Yin Ziqi looked carefully at Zhang Xun, who was tightly tied up in front of him, with one eye, and asked pretending to care, "I heard that every time you fight, your canthus and teeth are broken. Why?" "I can't wait to eat you gang of thieves alive, I can't do it!"

Yin Ziqi nodded, took out a dagger with him, pried open Zhang Xun's mouth with the tip of the knife, lowered his head slightly, and carefully looked at his teeth. Yin Ziqi was surprised that at the age of forty-nine, Zhang Xun had only four teeth left.And these four teeth have cracks, like cracked porcelain.It is said that during the war, Zhang Xun's eyes were cracked and his teeth were broken. He thought it was just everyone talking casually, but it was true. Yin Ziqi sighed.He looked at Zhang Xun, who had no fear on his face, which made him a little scared.He drew out the tip of the knife, turned around and went out, discussing with his subordinates about taking Zhang Xun and others into custody.But many people understood that it was absolutely impossible for Zhang Xun to stay sincerely, and keeping him would only be a disaster.

Yin Ziqi sighed once, he had thirty-six people including Nan Jiyun and Lei Wanchun tied up, pushed them all out and killed them. Zhang Xun, Nan Jiyun, Lei Wanchun and others who stuck to Suiyang for more than ten months died in the end. Meet Zhang Xun again—— Zhang Xun, whose ancestral home is Puzhou, Hedong (Yongji, Shanxi), was born in Dengzhou, Nanyang (Nanyang, Henan). He is well-read, proficient in the art of war, ambitious, and informal.Zhang Xun is seven feet tall and has a beautiful beard. He is tall and mighty, like a god. When he is angry, his beard stretches out, like a lion. Zhang Xun has a superb memory. He can remember all the books in just three times, and he will never forget them all his life.When he meets people once and asks their name, he can firmly remember the other person's name.

Zhang Xun is a man of righteousness and integrity. If he learns that his friends are living in poverty, he will definitely donate money to help.The people he associates with must be heroes.At the end of the Kaiyuan period, Zhang Xun Jinshi Jidi (the third in the country) served as the magistrate of Qinghe County (Qinghe, Hebei) as a prince general. During his tenure, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the assessment was the best.He was generous and righteous, helping those in danger and those in need. People in Qinghe County thought he was a timely rain, and they were happy to mention Zhang Xun.

Later, Zhang Xun was appointed as the decree of Zhenyuan (Luyi, Henan). Zhenyuan has many rich and robbers, and officials known as Huanan Jin are all kinds of evil.When Zhang Xun came to office, he killed Huanan Jin and pardoned the rest of the party. The rest of the party was afraid of Zhang Xun's prestige and accepted the teachings. The defense of Suiyang bought the most precious time for the revival of the Tang Dynasty.Zhang Xun, Xu Yuan, Nan Jiyun, Lei Wanchun... With the strength of a thousand people, they restrained the 200,000 army of bandits. , The world will learn from each other, even if it is defeated, it will be glorious!

Zhang Xun died generously without changing his face. The people of Suiyang are right, if the rebel army captures Suiyang, the rest of the day would be better if you just die.The sent reinforcements still hadn't arrived, because Lu Qiuxiao was leaning on his beard bed, lazily looking at the sunlight shining through the shadow of the trees.Lu Qiuxiao is also considered a poet, because he wrote a heartbreakingly beautiful "Crossing the River at Night", which exudes a sad atmosphere inside and out.Of course, besides writing poetry, he also did a lot of things that made him proud.

For example, he is strict with his subordinates, but tolerant of himself. His so-called subordinate is named Wang Changling, and his poem name is very famous, as if everyone in the world knows it.Lu Qiuxiao was very dissatisfied with this subordinate, so when his subordinate Wang Changling was about to go home to serve the elderly, Lu Qiuxiao was furious and beat Wang Changling to death.Fortunately, when Wang Changling resigned, he was in the Anshi Rebellion, and the court had no time to deal with these trivial matters.Moreover, the imperial court is at the time of employing people, look, Zhang Xun is trapped, shouldn't he be asked to rescue him?

Lu Qiuxiao looked at the reminder letter with hatred. What Zhang Xun?What Suiyang?What is the rapid development of times?What East Zhejiang, West Zhejiang, Huainan, Beihai?Let me die as far away as possible! Lu Qiuxiao had a big game this time, because Prime Minister Zhang Hao finally arrived, and his temporary conscripts finally arrived in Suiyang, but Suiyang had already fallen into the hands of thieves for three days.Lu Qiuxiao... Zhang Hao furiously scolded this person who only knew bad things, and then forced himself to calm down, and asked someone to write him a nice letter, and sent it to Lu Qiuxiao.Lu Qiuxiao who received the letter began to feel a little short of breath and flustered, and came to Zhang Hao with sweaty palms. Then, he died and was beaten to death by Zhang Gao. Although Suiyang is gone, Luoyang is back. Both Li Chu and Huihe arrived in Luoyang. Along the way, they won battles and gave Huihe all their belongings.But Huihe was still very dissatisfied, and wanted to grab some more in Luoyang.Li Chu originally used a perfunctory method, fooling as much as he could, but now that he arrived in Luoyang, Huihe began to boo.Fortunately, the Luoyang elders also knew that Huihe was difficult to serve, so they entered the palace one after another and ran to Li Chu to donate. Please bribe Huihe with ten thousand horses of Luo Jin. Huihe was satisfied, and it was different from sending it to the door and grabbing it, so he readily accepted it. With the recovery of the two capitals, what Li Heng needs to do most now is not to become emperor in Beijing, but to fulfill his promise.He once said that after the recovery of Erjing, he must invite the Supreme Emperor Li Longji back from Chengdu.Li Longji was still in Sichuan, he reflected on his mistakes, asked people to go to Zhang Jiuling's cemetery to burn incense for him, and listened to Li Guinian crying and singing some sad songs. Li Longji said to the envoy sent by Li Heng: "Just let me stay in Jiannan, I won't go back!" Li Heng was shocked. He found Li Mi, because as early as when he first entered Chang'an, Li Mi told Li Heng that the way he hired people was wrong. Li Heng Dawu, wrote a second letter of congratulations. However, Li Longji had just received the first letter, and the first letter was written by Li Heng in his own name, asking Li Longji to come back and preside over the overall situation. As for the second letter, according to Li Mi's suggestion, Li Heng asked the officials to write a congratulatory form, and then expressed that he wanted to fulfill his filial piety and take the Supreme Emperor back to Beijing. After the second group of envoys came back, Li Heng's melancholy heart suddenly became clear, because after seeing the second letter, Li Longji had already decided to return to Beijing. Li Mi is a very smart person, so now, he started to resign again and asked Li Heng to let him go back to the mountain.After countless hard-hearted battles, Li Mi won with eloquence.Li Heng was almost driven mad by Li Mi's torture, so he was released back to the mountain (Hengshan), and the county built a house for him in the mountain, and gave him a third-rank salary (three-rank treatment).Afterwards, when Li Heng entered Beijing, the common people went abroad to welcome him. They danced and shouted long live for twenty miles.When Li Heng moved into the Daming Palace, those officials who joined the bandit army took off their scarves and bare feet (no official uniforms, bare feet), and stood in front of the Hanyuan Hall to repent. Beating one's chest and stamping one's feet, kowtowing one's head and pounding garlic, each uttering different syllables, showing the sincerity of repentance. They are surrounded by sergeants, pointing swords and guns at them (to frighten them), while Lee Hyung makes all the officials stand outside the court to enjoy the scene.Li Longji came. In Wangxian Palace, Li Heng didn't wear a yellow robe, but a purple official uniform to welcome his father.He rode a horse, dismounted from a distance, and rushed over.Walking up to Li Longji, he fell to his knees, hugged Li Longji's leg and began to cry. Li Longji looked around and asked, "Where's the yellow robe?" Someone brought the yellow robe, Li Longji smiled and put it on for Li Heng himself.The people outside surrounded the Wangxian Palace, and some people began to sing folk songs, but they didn't know what they were singing. In short, they cheered and thanked.Li Heng was so happy that he asked people to open the gate of the palace, and let the people enter the palace to meet the emperor.This time, it was considered a fire. The people had the opportunity, and they flocked in. There were more and more people, and there were more than a thousand people in a courtyard. : "I saw the Second Saint again today, I have nothing to hate about death!" The rest said together: "Yes, yes!" Seeing that everyone was so interested, Li Heng invited Li Longji to sit in the main hall, while he waited on him.Li Longji sighed, "I have been the son of heaven for fifty years, but I have not been noble; now I am the father of the son of heaven, I am the noble ear!" He opened the far door to the Daming Palace, the Yuhanyuan Hall, comforted all the officials, and went to the Changdong Hall to thank Jiu The temple owner cried for a long time; today, fortunately, Xingqing Palace lived in Xingqing Palace. Li Heng repeatedly asked to abstain from the East Palace, but the emperor refused (of course he couldn't agree).
