Luo Zhaoyun led the army to the expedition, approaching Xiping County, the news quickly spread back to Huangshui City, Xiliang King Li Liang heard that Luo Cheng personally led the troops to kill, immediately a little panicked, urgently convened a court meeting, to seek countermeasures to control the enemy.

Li Liang saw that Wen Chenwu's future was almost over, and he couldn't wait to ask: "Luo Cheng has sent troops, the first target is actually my Xiping County, according to his marching speed, he can reach Linqiang City in two or three days, do you have a good way to break the enemy?" ”

"Luo Cheng sent troops to attack?"

"It's Luo Cheng, it's not easy to do."

The so-called Wenchen military generals, most of them are some small officials, Lang generals, wealthy chiefs in the northwest, etc., when Luo Cheng led his troops through Xiping County, using this as a base, when attacking Tuyuhun, they just looked at his figure from afar, and were not qualified to go forward to speak, this psychological disparity in status, so that everyone was still a little afraid of him.

Seeing the fluctuation of people's hearts, the crown prince Li Boyu immediately stood up and said: "Father, the son thinks that he should immediately transfer troops and make every effort to defend against Luo Cheng's attack, even if Linqiang City can't be kept, there is also the pass of Tulou Mountain, which was set up to defend Tuyuhun back then, and within a hundred years, it blocked hundreds of attacks by Tuyuhun, and never lost. ”

"The minister seconded the words of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." An Xiuren stood up and said.

"The minister also seconded it!" Many people stood up and agreed with Li Boyu's suggestion to use natural danger to block Luo Cheng's advance.

Li Liang nodded and said, "If Luo Cheng can retreat in the face of difficulties and change the target to Xue Ju, it will be of great benefit to us and others." ”

The ministers were relieved, and they all thought that with the natural danger, blocking the attack of Luo Cheng's army, and with the guarantee, even if Linqiang City was broken, it would not endanger Huangshui City.

The next day, Pei Renji, who was in the Tiger Prison Pass, secretly mobilized manpower to prepare to deal with Xiao Huaijing's mutiny.

After all, Xiao Huaijing was born as a literati, and he was not sensitive enough to the dispatch and killing atmosphere in the army, until dusk, when he gathered some military attaches and was about to attack the general's mansion, he suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps, horses' hooves, and bows and arrows outside his mansion.

Pei Xingyan took a few generals to outflank Xiao Huaijing's mansion and wiped out all the generals and soldiers inside.

"Pei Xingyan, your father and son are so bold that they dare to secretly communicate with the Wagang Army and plot rebellion."

"Shut up, Xiao Huaijing, the master has endured you for a long time, this time you are looking for your own death, instigating some military attaches to try to be unfavorable to the general, and want to mutiny Tiger Prison, today, I will follow the military law, take you into custody, etc., and those who dare to resist will be killed." Pei Xingyan drank loudly, full of youthful domineering.

"Kill it!" Xiao Huaijing already knew about Pei Renji's father and son's collaboration with the enemy, and saw that the situation could not be improved, so he could only flee with blood.

"Kill-" The two generals beside Xiao Huaijing rushed out with hundreds of people to kill, but many people were killed by rounds of cold arrows, and then, Pei Xingyan held a horse lance and personally led people to fight in close quarters, extremely brave, and after a while, he calmed down the chaos and captured Xiao Huaijing.

"Your father and son must not die well!" Xiao Huaijing was reduced to a prisoner, pressed to the ground by the soldiers, embarrassed, and his face was full of anger.

Pei Xingyan pulled out his sword, stared at Xiao Huaijing coldly, and directly slashed it down with a sword, cut his throat, and killed the prison soldier.

"Come and raid the house, and the rest of the party will not let go." Pei Xingyan shouted the order, and the thousand-person team behind him rushed into the mansion to search and slaughter, and did not let go of the net.

An hour later, Pei Renji held a gathering that night, said his decision to surrender to Chengwagang, and then asked his subordinate Wu to choose to stay.

"Let's work together, you have made a lot of contributions under my Pei Renji, and now I am forced by Xiao Huaijing's thief to no longer be loyal to the court, and can only take refuge in the Wagang Army, it's not that I, Pei Renji, is disloyal, but the minister is in charge, the faint king has no virtue, the world is in chaos, and the good birds choose trees to perch, Pei has to consider for the family and many soldiers, and then stick to it like this, and perish with the Great Sui, it is meaningless, it is better to follow the new master, make meritorious contributions, and create a new dynasty." What Pei Renji said was sincere, which infected the generals in the hall, and most of them agreed to stay and follow Pei Renji to surrender together.

As long as a few generals hesitate, because their families and clansmen are in Luoyang, if they follow the rebellion, it is likely that their families will be killed.

A few people stood up, knelt down and bowed: "Please General Pei let me wait for a way to live and return to Luoyang, where there is our family, and we can't follow General Pei." ”

"People have their own aspirations and different circumstances, and I, Pei Renji, will never force it." Pei Renji asked these generals to take off their armor, and then sent guards to escort them out of the Tiger Prison Pass, out of the mountain city from the west gate, and fled to Luoyang.

Pei Renji looked at the remaining generals, nodded slightly, and said: "Early tomorrow morning, Kaesong will accept the Wagang Army into the Tiger Prison Pass, and your official positions will continue to be retained, according to the agreement between Li Mi and General Ben, everyone will still serve under my command, but the banner will be replaced, and we will no longer be the army of the imperial court in the future." ”

That night, Pei Renji found Li Xuanying again and told him about the situation, Li Xuanying received an accurate answer, and was also very happy, especially knowing that Pei Renji had cleared all Xiao Huaijing's men and horses in the Tiger Prison Pass, and the rest belonged to Pei Renji's side, he was even more satisfied.

Li Mi had fallen asleep late at night, but he was awakened by this urgent and important information, and after learning the news, he laughed three times, unable to hide the ecstasy in his heart, and the Tiger Prison Pass was easily taken, and he got Pei Renji's father and son, the two fierce generals, tens of thousands of elite soldiers of the imperial court, which had a great help to his grand cause.

"Someone, notify me, the five more will gather, this king has something important to announce!" After Li Mi gave the order, he was excited, and he no longer felt sleepy, so he pulled Li Xuanying into the inner tent to drink and have fun.
