Chapter 126 Black Crow Army

Gray clouds float past the moonlight, and the cold silver gray gradually converges from the black earth.

In the distance, there were black camps surrounded by long wooden railings. The torches on both sides of the gate were swaying with torches. The figure holding bows and arrows were locked in the movements around. In the camp behind him, there were spots of bonfires burning in the camps everywhere. In the light, the patrolling Shatuo soldiers were bypassing the largest tent in the middle.

Two rows of strong Shatuo soldiers guarded the tent with swords and axes. In the curtain of the tent blew by the night wind, Li Ke held his hands with his back and looked at the generals pointing the map and spoke loudly, probably planning the next march route.

As a group of people defeated by Tang Ting, they lived in the Tatars for a long time and finally had the opportunity to let them go out again. How could they not cherish it?

But I heard that the rebel army in the south had hundreds of thousands of people. Even if it was a mob, it was quite difficult to gather 20,000 tribal soldiers.

"This time, the Jiedu governors besieged the rebels, and even a general in Xuzhou dared to lead troops to support him. How could we be afraid of our 20,000 soldiers!"

The general who spoke was tall, wearing silver locked bronze mirror armor, and a white robe. He was named Shi Jingsi, who was born in the ninth surname of Zhaowu. After following Li Keyong for a long time, he was called the "Eleventh Taibao" in the army and was brave and good at fighting. At this time, he was very disdainful of the Cao army that captured Chang'an.

Shi Jingsi waved his arm and looked at the name of Chang'an on the map, with a thick and heroic voice.

"Then Huang Chao was just an old man who captured Tongguan and Chang'an. However, by luck, the Tang Ting child emperor was even more timid and ran away without even being beaten. Thinking about it, I felt that it was not worth it when I was defeated by the Tang army. At present, there was nothing to say. To enter Chang'an and kill Huang Chao who was so arrogant that he was the emperor, it was considered a slap in the face of the child emperor. What the Shatuo people did, but you can't do it, it's embarrassing!"

There were also many generals in the army in the tent. After experiencing the initial defeat of Yaoerling and hiding in Tatars, they were extremely shocked when they heard that Tang Ting lost Chang'an. The Tang army that defeated them was not considered strong, but it was also a difficult opponent. It was rumored that the Shence army of Chang'an's capital was even more elite among the elite... Why were the emperors beaten by a group of thieves and ran to Shu?

Immediately, everyone turned their eyes to Li Keyong, the only one who had made up his mind in the tent. The latter was staring at the map with his hands on his back. There were two teenagers in the seat behind him, and asked, "Sizhao, Siyuan, what do you two think?"

The two young men had different appearances, both of whom were Li Keyong's adopted sons, who could follow the left and right, and had their own opinions. Among them, the young man named Li Siyuan stood up and bowed, "Reported to his adoptive father, the rebels are powerful, the Tang court is weak, and the governors of all parties are still on the way. If we march quickly and fight with the thieves, it will inevitably lead to siege of thieves and suffer heavy casualties. You might as well postpone the marching and occupy some important places along the way, recruit soldiers and food."

Another young man nodded and stood up to agree: "Yes, adoptive father, preserving his strength is the best. When the governors from all sides gather, we will advance to Chang'an. The governor of Heyang, who was just east of Jin, heard that the thief who surrendered to Chang'an, used him as an excuse to train troops, arrange prisoners, and strengthen himself."

‘Yes.’ Li Ke raised his cloak and sat back behind the long case, raised his hand to let all the generals in front of the map sit back and not to fight Chang'an. In fact, he had been thinking on the way to come and showed his loyalty. The Shatu soldiers in the army who had experienced the crushing defeat in Yaoerling were a bit disgusting. Moreover, the Shatu soldiers were finally gathered together at present. If the casualties were too serious, how would they gain a foothold in the future? The tribe members were afraid that they would not believe him.

"Entertainment Father!"

Some words suddenly rang outside the tent, and the curtain was lifted. A tall young man, dragging the heavy beast-headed bright light armor, walked in, and put a Yu King spear in the corner. When he came to the tent, he clasped his fists heavily, and the shocked armor was ringing.

"Why would you rather send a group of two thousand people to Chang'an to join the gang of thieves first!"

Li Keyong raised his gaze, and in the sight of the generals around him, the young generals looked heroic, with their eyebrows stumbled straight into their temples like swords. His eyes were majestic and his expression was as sharp as a sharp sword.

All the generals in the tent knew each other and were also one of Li Keyong's adopted sons. He was the young county magistrate who captured Feihu County and was captured. His original name was An Jingsi, but now he changed his name to Li Cunxiao!

At first I just felt that I had some martial arts and strength. Now in the past two years, I have been taller than before, and even a brave general like Shi Jingsi is difficult to walk for several rounds in his hands. Often, the weapons are touched and they are knocked out directly, and they fall down from the horse's back.

"My son is unparalleled in the world. Okay, since he is so heroic, then I will give you two thousand soldiers to go to Chang'an to test the thief first. You will know the depth after all the fight!"

Li Ke sat on the chair with a big golden knife and looked at the burning brazier in front of the desk. "After beating the Heyang Jiedushi Zhuge Shuang, no matter what Chang'an or what the thief is, our itinerary remains unchanged..."

His big hand slapped the table.

"——Kill it right!"

Everyone in the tent stood up in a slight 'wail', Jiaye shook, and he clasped his fists and arched: "Here!"

The sky was slightly blue, and the silent camp sounded the trumpet, echoing the lead-blue night. In the burning bonfire, figures emerged from the tent and felt gathered together.

Soon, a rumbling noise echoed, and the horse's hooves trembled on the earth. The armored cavalry pushed down the camp wall. The infantry came from behind and rushed eastward into Heyang.

The Heyang scout who heard the news along the way ran wildly. Zhuge Shuang, the Heyang Jiedushi who received the news, came out of her concubine's room in a dizzy head. She took the information in a panic and made a quick decision... and sent someone to send a letter of surrender.

He was once the governor of Xia Suiyin. Huang Chao attacked Chang'an and decisively rebeled and attached himself to the other party. It is nothing if he rebels back now.

"Although I'm a little unkind, I still talk about friendship."

Standing on the top of the city, watching the "Black Crow Army" holding up long dusty smoke in the wilderness outside the city, he set out to send the news to Chang'an to repay Huang Chao's kindness for supporting him as the governor of Heyang.

Until the sky gradually became brighter, the cavalry took advantage of the space where Zhuge Shuang was going to surrender outside the city and quickly went southwest with this news, taking the mountain path, and working non-stop until three days later, when he arrived at the territory of Chang'an, handed the news to the post station, and then ordered the cavalry to rush to the giant city and the imperial palace behind.

News of unfavorable wars in the west have spread, and several Jiedu governors in the east are still on the road, so they will not be in a hurry if they have time to prepare. However, at this time, Li Keyong, a Shatuo man in the north, led 20,000 troops to the Jin territory quietly. The news that the Heyang Jiedu governor Zhuge Shuang surrendered and returned from the city finally splashed with boiling water.

On the night of receiving the news, Huang Chao cut off several words that violated his censor's head.

"When I got the power, I was as flattered as a dog. Now I know that the Tang army is about to besiege the city, and the dogs are coming to bark again..."

The old man's hair was a little scattered, and he was holding the news of Zhuge Shuang's return in his hand. In a roar, he roared "Ah--" and knocked the lamppost in front of him to the ground.

Then, there were several consecutive sounds of the porcelain breaking, and the emperor's close confidant generals below did not dare to show up.

After a long time, the angry figure stopped, supported the Long Chou's gaze and raised his hand to wave it at them.
