Zhu Changxiao's version of the Sui Dynasty

I saw thousands of Xiaoguo warriors, dressed in hard armor, holding a knife in one hand and a shield in the other, forcibly crossing the Lianshui River, swarming up, shooting bows and arrows, without fear. Seeing that he had reached the middle of the river, Li Jiancheng passed down the military order to go down to the river to meet the enemy, and in an instant, two soldiers waded through the water, and the river was fighting, a fight, and the blood stained the river.

When the fierce battle was few, where was the opponent of the Xiaoguo battalion, the Tang soldiers suffered heavy casualties and retreated. Li Jiancheng saw that Xiaoguo was brave and brave, and ordered the use of a strong crossbow machine.

I saw that the messy grass pile was opened, and dozens of strong crossbow machines came to the fore, turning the string with arrows, "buzzing" and shooting, all of which shot indiscriminately, penetrating the hard armor of the Xiaoguo soldiers, piercing the heart and lungs. Qu Tutong fixed his eyes and saw that there were many casualties in the Xiaoguo battalion, and he could not land on the shore, so he had to order: "Mingjin withdraw the troops!"

Forcibly crossing the Shushui River, Li Jiancheng relied on a strong crossbow machine to shoot back the Xiaoguo camp and defended the river. Qu Tutong lost many soldiers, so he had to withdraw his troops and return to the camp, very depressed. Yao Junsu persuaded: "Li Jiancheng is holding on to the shore, it must be to cover Li Yuan's crossing of the Yellow River, the general must not hesitate, he still needs to attack, and time is not waiting." "

Qu Tutong was also embarrassed in his heart, full of grievances, and said: "Why don't I want to kill the Puzhou ferry, but Li Jiancheng has built a strong crossbow, piercing his heart and armor, even if the Xiaoguo camp crosses strongly, he can't land on the shore, but there are many dead and wounded, what can I do?"

Qu Tugai said on the side: "Brother, why worry, the younger brother will lead the troops to fight in person tomorrow, and he will definitely be able to kill the Lianshui River." "

"Aren't you afraid of that strong crossbow piercing armor?" Qu Tutong asked.

"The eldest brother only needs to prepare more bows and arrows, as long as ten thousand arrows are fired at the same time, the dozens of strong crossbow machines are not enough to worry about. "

Yao Junsu saw that Qu Tugai was full of confidence, and also said: "It makes sense, you might as well give it a try." "

On the next day, Qu Tutong and Qu Tugai brothers went out to fight for the second time, and the soldiers were on the Shushui River, only to see that the Tang soldiers had already been waiting for the crossbow machine, only to listen to the Sui army in the formation of a drum, Xiaoguo in front, the bow shot followed, Qu Tugai pressed the middle of the formation, crossed the river and attacked.

Dozens of strong crossbow machines were turning, the Sui army's second drum sounded, and the archers fired thousands of arrows at the Tang soldiers. At this moment, suddenly dark clouds covered the sun and raindrops fell. Random arrows flew, and Tang Bing ran with his head in his hands.

Qu Tugai saw that the rain had increased, and he was disturbed by the torrential rain, and suddenly the upstream water rippled, and the captain next to him saw that the rain suddenly became heavier, so he shouted: "The general must not go ashore, but I am afraid that there will be a flood falling." "

Before the words fell, I saw the water upstream, pouring down, Qu Tugai hurriedly retreated, several soldiers hurriedly pulled Qu Tugai, and the Sui army behind him saw the big water coming, scrambling to retreat to the shore.

Qu Tugai attacked the Lianshui River, but it happened to be a torrential rain, the water rose rapidly, and many soldiers were drowned, so they had to retreat. It happened that the sky was not beautiful, and for several days, the water was unabated, and everyone was very anxious

There was a dead silence in the big tent of the Chinese army, watching the days pass day by day, Yao Jun said: "Presumably, many of Li Yuan's rebels have crossed the Hexi, and if they delay for too long, they will endanger the Beijing Division, and they must risk their lives to attack." "

Qu Tutong was the main general, his eyebrows were tightly locked, and he had nothing to do, and said: "Risking death to force the crossing, the casualties are very great, as the main general, how can I attack rashly and not pity the soldiers?"

"But once the rebels bypass Fenglingdu and hit the Jingshi, you and I will be burned in all hopes. Yao Jun said.

"yes, I'll go check the water later. "Flexion channel.

Qu Tutong and Qu Tugai brought a few guards, climbed the high slope, and looked from a distance, the water in the upper reaches of the Lianshui River was still turbulent, and the waves on the river surface were endless. Qu Tutong sighed: "Looking at this water potential, it is difficult to cross the river. "

Qu Tugai said: "Yao Junsu said it is easy, how many soldiers have drowned in the two strong attacks? Why don't you find another Lord, brother?".

"Nonsense!" Qu Tu channel: "Qu Tu has received the great favor of the Great Sui, how can he have two ambitions?"

"So what now?".

Qu Tutong looked at the mighty river and said helplessly: "I will personally lead the troops back to Beijing, and you and Yao Junsu will stay in Yongji." With that, Qu Tutong turned around and left the high slope and headed for the camp. Qu Tugai quickly followed and asked: "Brother He Lao will go in person, and the boat and car will be tiring, and the younger brother can lead the troops to rescue the Beijing Division." "

Qu Tu channel: "Let you stay in Yongji, because I am afraid that you will not be strong-minded and turn your back on the enemy, so I let you stay behind." Qu Tugai felt ashamed, so he didn't dare to say more.

Yao Junsu and Qu Tugai stayed in Yongji, and Qu Tutong ordered 20,000 horse infantry troops to return immediately, heading to Fengling Ferry, preparing to withdraw to the south bank of the Yellow River. Seeing that he was about to arrive at Fengling, he suddenly saw a group of men and horses in front of him, more than 1,000 people, blocking the way.

Qu Tutong took a closer look, and the interception soldiers and horses were dressed differently, several officers and soldiers were in different armor, and the weapons were not regular. Qu Tutong suddenly realized that this must be the strong men and men that Li Yuan had just recruited, and he didn't have time to unify his clothes, so he hurriedly sent troops. Now it has crossed the water from other ferries and encountered it in Fengling.

I saw a general at the head, with broad shoulders and a wide waist, big cheeks and round hips, an earthy brown face, a big face and small eyes, a pair of figure-eight broom eyebrows, a garlic nose, a full face of steel hair, wearing black copper armor, a flaming helmet, a black wind horse under the crotch, and a silver nail mace in his hand.

"Where is Qu Tutong going, your grandfather Shi Danai is here!".

Qu Tutong shouted: "Hmph! Shi Danai was furious, brandished a mace and rushed over, Qu Tutong didn't say a word, stepped forward to fight, and the two fought together.

Although Shi Danai's strength is outstanding, but where is Qu Tutong's opponent, six or seven rounds of the battle, Shi Danai almost fell off the horse, the barge horse retreated, Qu Tutong shouted an order, and the soldiers under his command were killed together, and the two armies fought together.

After all, the soldiers and horses led by Shi Danai were just recruited people, and in a moment, they were scattered and defeated by Qu Tutong's Xiaoguo battalion. The Tang soldiers were defeated, and Qu Tutong led his troops to the Fengling Ferry.

Qu Tutong ordered the requisition of civilian boats to cross the Yellow River by boat, and in half a day, most of the men and horses had hurriedly crossed the river. Seeing that 20,000 soldiers had crossed the river, and only some heavy grain and grass were being loaded into the boat, suddenly a burst of sand and dust swept by, and another group of men and horses came in the distance, and the soldiers who followed were also miscellaneous soldiers in different costumes.

The first person, white helmet and white armor, white robe, white frost horse under the crotch, white tasseled snow steel gun in his hand, less than thirty years old, Qu Tutong took a closer look, this person is Li Yuan's son-in-law Chai Shao.

Chai Shao watched from a distance and saw that most of Qu Tutong's men and horses had crossed the river to the south bank, leaving only grain and grass to stay on the north bank. felt that it was the right time, so he ordered the soldiers to kill together and burn the grain and grass.

Qu Tutong saw that the situation was not good, and ordered a few soldiers on the north bank to guard the grain and grass, and single-handedly kill Chai Shao. Qu Tutong turned his back to meet the enemy, holding the heart of death, and the pursuers who killed him turned on his horse, and became a mess. It's really true:

Fengling Ferry Battle Chases, Riding Alone and Walking Bloodily, Fighting Thousands of Horsemen on the Riverside, Alone Blocking Tang Camp at the End.

The south and the north fought and plundered the city, and the east and west attacked the thorns. The lord of Sui has no brave generals, and a husband will be the king.

Another fierce battle, Qu Tutong was covered in six wounds, repelled Chai Shao, and the Sui army on the south bank also had a lot of heavy grain and grass destroyed. Fortunately, most of it was saved. The rest of the baggage then hurried across the river and hurried to the south bank.

Qu Tutong quickly whipped his horse, day and night, and rushed to Tongguan. When they arrived at the Tongguan approach, everyone called for the door in unison, but they did not see the city gate open. After waiting for a while, suddenly many soldiers gathered on the city head, and the city head was the first general, and shouted to Qu Tutong: "The eldest grandson Shunde is here, do you recognize this general?"

Qu Tutong asked, "Where is the thief?" who is shouting at the gate and talking wildly!"

The eldest grandson Shunde said: "Qu Tutong listened, my lord Li Yuan, the god and martial arts, has surrounded Xijing, the general was ordered to take Tongguan first, and wait for General Qu Tu here, the people in the pass have all been submitted, and the general will be surrendered quickly." "

"Phew!" Qu Tutong: "How can I surrender to you, a traitor, as a dignified Sui courtier." "

The eldest grandson Shunde saw that the persuasion could not be successful, so he ordered the arrows to be released, and the Sui army was dispersed by the random arrows, Qu Tutong had to retreat ten miles back and camp, and ordered the soldiers to cut down the trees, build ladders, crash cars, and prepare to attack the city. I won't go into details.

At this time, Yang Yu, the emperor's grandson who stayed in Xijing Daxing, was anxious and uneasy, and dozens of express mails to Jiangdu for help had been sent, but there was no response.

Gu Yi, the deputy envoy left behind, hurriedly came to the palace and said to Yang Yu: "Your Highness, Li Yuan's rebels have surrounded the Jingshi yesterday, and there is no news, so I ask Your Highness to give an order to fight to the death with Li Yuan's rebels." "

Yang Yu asked: "If Qu Tutong and Qu Tugai don't return to the city, who can be the general?"

Gu Yi said: "The Great General Yin Shi Shi can still fight. "

"Quasi-play, quasi-play, I will order the Yin Shishi to go to the city to defend against the enemy. Yang Yu said. The will was handed down, and the Yin Shishi led the Sui army in the city, ascended to the top of the city, and resisted the Tang soldiers.

Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang Guo, opened Yongfeng Cang, gave relief to the people, won the hearts of the people, and recruited as many as 100,000 soldiers. Seeing that it was November and the weather was getting colder, Li Yuan ordered Li Shimin to lead his troops to attack the city from all sides and storm Xijing Daxing.

Only listen to the three horns, the war drums thunder, ten thousand arrows fired together, the head of the city was greatly revitalized, and the shouts were killing and shaking the sky. The Xiaoguo battalion in Xijing Daxing has been blocked out of Tongguan with Qu Tutong, and the city defenders have less than 20,000 people left, becoming a lone army.

Yin Shishi led 20,000 Sui troops to resist desperately, the city head fought fiercely for three days, the Tang soldiers attacked the city day and night, the Sui army was killed and wounded, and the Yin Shishi fought hand-to-hand combat, desperately duel, and died at the head of the city.

The Sui Palace, which had fallen short, was dark and silent, and the emperor's grandson Yang Yu and the deputy envoy Gu Yi were still waiting for news in the palace, when suddenly a little eunuch hurriedly ran to the palace, and Gu Yi asked, "What's the alarm?"

The little eunuch said: "The general of the Yin World Division was killed in battle, and the rebels entered the city, and the big thing was gone. "

"Ah!" Gu Yi was startled, turned to Yang Yu and said, "The Yin World Master is dead, and the minister should repay him with death." "

Before the words fell, another little eunuch hurriedly ran over and said: "The big thing is not good, Xiao Xun and Xiao Yu, the two uncles of the country, opened the east gate of the imperial city and surrendered to the rebels. "

Gu Yi said: "Wei Chen immediately went to the east gate, even if he died in battle, he would face the east and look at the king forever!"

In the fourteenth year of the Great Cause, in November 617, Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang, conquered Daxing and captured the emperor's grandson Yang Yu. Immediately, Li Yuan proclaimed himself king of Tang and proclaimed his grandson Yang Yu as emperor; Daxing changed its name to Chang'an, which was still the national capital, and changed its name to "Yining". He also respected Emperor Yang Guang of Sui as the Emperor Taishang, and Empress Xiao Jun as the Empress Dowager. At this point, Yang Yu became the puppet emperor in Li Yuan's hands, known as Emperor Gong of Sui.

The Beijing division was lost, the fast horse passed the bar, and Qu Tutong had continuously attacked Tongguan, and attacked for several days, and the eldest grandson Shunde worked hard to defend and protect the city gate. A few days later, the news of the enthronement of Yang Yu, the puppet son of heaven, came, and the edict of the king of Tang was obtained, and the eldest grandson Shunde was overjoyed, so he sent an envoy to go.

Qu Tutong saw the arrival of the envoy from Tongguan, and ordered it to be sent to the Chinese military tent, and the envoy said: "Qu Tutong listen, my lord Li Yuan has conquered the Beijing division in November of the 14th year of the Great Cause, and established the emperor's grandson Yang Yu as the emperor, and changed the Yuan Yining. The general was ordered to return to Shun as soon as possible and enter Beijing to meet the new emperor. "

"A bunch of nonsense!" Qu Tutong tore up the edict and ordered the envoy to be beheaded as a sign of loyalty.

As soon as the envoy was beheaded outside the tent, a messenger came from Yongji, and Qu Tutong asked, "How is the battle situation on Yongji's side?"

The messenger said: "General Qiqi, Yongji was annexed by Li Jiancheng three days ago, and General Qu Tugai surrendered. "

"What?" Qu Tutong was shocked and asked, "What happened to Yao Junsu?"

The messenger said: "Yaojun Suning died and did not surrender, so he was beheaded by Qu Tugai and dedicated to Li Jiancheng." As soon as Qu Tutong heard that his own brother had also submitted to Li Yuan, the king of Tang, he immediately sat down in a tiger skin chair and had no idea for a while.

At dawn the next day, the grain and grass judge came to report that the grain and grass would be exhausted, and if Tongguan could not be captured again, the army would be in turmoil. In desperation, Qu Tutong gave the order to attack the city again. 20,000 Sui troops, strong horses, arrayed under Tongguan, arrows and crossbows are ready, cloud ladders are lined up, Qu Tutong is armed with a machete, determined to attack the city in person.

The war drums were beating, and the battle was imminent, and suddenly the eldest grandson Shunde was above the city, waving the flag and shouting: "General Qu Tu, I will have something to say!"

Qu Tutong waved his hand, stopped the war drums, and asked: "I have been favored by the Lord of Sui, and I have been favored by the two masters of the past, and I have been favored by others, and I can flee safely?

I saw that the city gate was wide open, the cavalry was in front, the infantry was behind, and the front of the pass was in formation, and then the eldest grandson Shunde took a few people to ride out of the pass, and the eldest grandson Shunde shouted: "General Qu Tu, who do you see this is?"

Qu Tutong fixed his eyes, one was his younger brother Qu Tugai, and the other was his son Qu Tushou. The two of them sat upright on their horses, and they had already returned to Li Yuan, the king of Tang. The eldest grandson Shunde said: "Xijing has been collected, Yongji has been lost, and the Qutu clan has returned to the Tang Dynasty, this is the general trend of the world, the people's desire, why don't the generals surrender early?"

"No king and no father!" Qu Tutong was furious, and shouted to his subordinates: "Shoot Qu Tugai and Qu Tushou to death with arrows!"

Since ancient times, the history has written loyalty, and it has been looking for thousands of generations.

Dedicated to supporting the Sui foundation, I don't know that I am in Tang Fengyun.
