What the court feared most finally happened.

Emperor Li Shi's original clever plan was all reduced to a squib: as soon as Li Cheng arrived at the pavilion outside Xiangyang City, he was detained by Li Xilie.

Then Li Cheng was taken to the school field of Xiangyang City, Li Xilie sat high on the altar, both sides were full of wolf-like Huaixi soldiers, Li Cheng finally still had the courage, although he knew that Li Xilie had rebelled, but he still wanted to delay time and disrupt the other party's subordinates, so he deceived him and said: "The Son of Heaven commissioned me to work as a teacher, why is this so?" ”

Li Xilie on the altar sneered, and several Huaixi soldiers began to search Li Cheng's body, and soon searched for the seal and document that the emperor entrusted him to be the envoy of the Xinshan Nanjie Du, and the Huaixi general Dong Shiming read it aloud in public.

"Li Xilie, the Son of Heaven has 300,000 yuan in Yang Zhai to reward you and others, why rebel?" Li Cheng, who was held down, angrily accused Li Xilie.

"Now it is the Son of Heaven who breaks the rules first, obviously he was awarded back by the official before, and it doesn't cost a soldier or a soldier to take Xiangyang from the imperial court, a bow and an arrow, all relying on my Huaining soldiers to fight bloodily, I just want to win Liang Chongyi's six states, so the Son of Heaven broke his promise, don't blame me for being unjust!" Li Xilie pressed his sword and got up and retorted.

"The rules of the world, the rules of the Son of Heaven are the greatest."

"The contemptible husband was born in the north, and he only knows that there are rules of Heshuo, but he has never heard of the rules of the Son of Heaven."

"The Son of Heaven wants you to recruit envoys for Ziqing, if you destroy Li Na, all the fifteen states of Ziqing will belong to you."

Li Xilie looked up to the sky and laughed, "I will destroy Liang Chongyi now, and I will not gain anything, and if I destroy Li Na in the future, I will only die without a place to be buried, and you can only deceive a three-foot child." ”

"Traitors, tens of thousands of elites of the imperial court's Shence army have been stationed in Yangzhai; His Majesty also ordered Jia Tan, the envoy of Shannan West Daojiedu, Cao Wanggao, the Hunan observation envoy Cui Kuan, the Eyue observation envoy Li Jian, and Zhang Boyi of Jiangnan West Dao, a total of 100,000 soldiers, to surround the surroundings. ”

But Li Xilie did not have any fear of repentance at all: "I have won Xiangyang, and I have more than 10,000 elite troops from Liang Chongyi, and then I went down to Suizhou, crossed Nanyang, and Yuefang Chengshan, and approached Dugi Road; In addition, the soldiers and horses on the road are led by my generals Wu Shaocheng and Wu Shaoyang, and from Cai and Xu to the north, you can attack Ruzhou to the west, and you can attack Biansong to the east, and Li Na to connect with the troops to cut off the Cao Yun, and the son of the Ru family asks for more blessings...... Kill Li Cheng and sacrifice the flag. ”

On the school field, the Huaixi army's two red flags of eight sizes were waving in the wind, two door guns were inserted behind them, and the Huaining army generals on both sides were standing with mules and knives, Li Cheng was escorted to the door gun and knelt down, still scolding himself, Li Xilie sat on the bed in front of the camp tent, and asked him: "In the past, you were the envoy of Huaixi, and who in our army had a close past?" ”

"Traitor, all the loyal and righteous people in the world don't want to eat your flesh, and now your army is my eyeliner for development, and you will have trouble sleeping and eating from now on."

Li Xilie slashed his hand, several tooth soldiers raised their knives and fell, the red light flashed, Li Chengren's head fell to the ground, blood flew straight up, splashing on the leopard's tail tied to the door gun.

Then the Huaixi soldiers tied up several people and sent them to Li Xilie.

Li Xilie saw that it was Yao Zhan, a scribe hired by his shogunate, and Wei Qing, a pharmacist, "Doctor Wei, you once gave me medicine, no wonder I vomited and diarrhea after eating, and I was almost bedridden." ”

When Wei Qing saw that the matter was revealed, he scolded: "I haven't had enough poison to hate me, and I haven't poisoned you, a dog thief." ”

"Kill!" Lee Hee-yeol was furious.

After beheading Yao Zhan, Wei Qing and others, the Huaixi Army General Dong Shiming bowed down and reminded Li Xilie: "These two people have a close relationship with Zhou Zeng and Wang Jue in our army on weekdays, and the four of them are known as the 'Four Sons'. ”

"So these four people are all wedges planted by the emperor in my Huaining army, and they want to take the opportunity to poison me, which shows that the Son of Heaven of Chang'an is malicious - where are Zhou Zeng and Wang Jue now?"

Chen Xianqi, another general under Li Xilie's command, stepped forward and said: "The second generals of Zhou and Wang are following Wu Shaocheng and Wu Shaoyang brothers to lead the army to Ruzhou. ”

So Li Xilie nodded, and called Han Shuanglu, the tooth soldier, to step forward, "You take my handwritten book, lead me ten fake sons, and gallop to the camp of Shaocheng and Shaoyang, and after they get the book, they will behead Zhou Zeng and Wang Jue, and the emperor's thoughts will be eliminated." ”

A few days later, the news of the lightning fall of Ruzhou reached the capital.

After Wu Shaocheng and Wu Shaoyang received Li Xilie's letter, they immediately killed Zhou Zeng and Wang Jue, and then led thousands of Huaixi elites up the Rushui.

When Li Yuanping, the governor of Ruzhou, heard that the Huaixi army was coming, he was so frightened that he asked for help from Liu Dexin's Shence military headquarters in Yangzhai, and urgently hired people to repair the city.

How to think that Wu Shaoyang directly mixed into the ranks of the people with dozens of henchmen, and swaggered into Ruzhou City, Li Yuanping just came to inspect the project, he was caught by Wu Shaoyang, tied to a mule, and galloped out of the city gate.

The state soldiers who rushed to see that Beijia was held hostage by the enemy like a woman, the dragons in the city were leaderless, and Wu Shaocheng led more than a thousand mule troops outside the city to break in, and Ruzhou City was captured in less than an hour.

And Liu Dexin's Shence army in Yangzhai did not go to the rescue of Ruzhou at all because of the heavy fog falling from the sky.

Li Yuanping was then escorted to the Tianwei Luyang Pass at the junction of Dengzhou and Ruzhou, which coincided with Li Xilie, who was leading the main force here.

"Who are you?" Lee Hee-yeol asked.

Li Yuanping looked up, only to see the leader of the Huaixi rebels in front of him, with an ugly face, riding on a tall mule, the mule was still wearing armor, and it was embroidered with a thunder and fire pattern, at first glance, it looked like a fierce beast and a dragon, and there were Huaixi soldiers with grinning teeth around him.

But he touched his chest again, and Cui Yunhe gave him the little jade ring before leaving, so he plucked up his courage again, and said I am Ruzhou, don't drive Li Yuanping.

Li Xilie and the surrounding generals laughed, "You are lying, you should be Li Yuanping's son, right?" ”

"Hugh is rude!" Li Yuanping became furious, jumped up three feet high, waved his arm as thick as a child's arm, and his voice was sharp.

"I only heard that Ruzhou Don't drive Li Yuanping has a deep strategy, who wants to see it today, it is such a contemptuous person, when the court is related to the broadcast, it seems that he is blind, dare to ask you to refuse me!"

"Li Servant Shoot spare his life...... Li Yuanping was angry for only three seconds, and then knelt down and begged, "The servant is willing to offer a strategy, so that the servant can directly take Chang'an." ”

"Oh? Let's hear it. Li Xiyeol said half-jokingly.

"Servant shooting does not need to seize the eastern capital, nor do you need to capture the Biansong Dynasty, but leave some soldiers to die in Ruzhou, Yang Zhai as a virtual soldier, contain the attention of the imperial court, the servant shoots his own simple selection of 30,000 elite soldiers, from the Dengzhou boundary to the west of the rapid advance, tracing the Danshui upstream, breaking the Wu Pass, entering the business in the mountains, and then dialing the Lantian Pass, now the imperial court Jingyuan, Fengxiang is uneasy, the elite of the gods are in Heshuo, the Central Plains, Chang'an City is extremely empty, at your fingertips, this is the Han Gaozu Liu Bang to destroy the Qin old trick."

Hearing this plan, Li Xilie also groaned.

Li Yuanping's strategy is actually very vicious.

Although this tactics are not good, he is quite good at talking on paper, and he has choked the life of the current Tang Dynasty.

Will it directly march into Wuguan to seize Chang'an, or will it compete with the Zhudao army loyal to the emperor in the Central Plains?

This choice is in front of Lee Hee-yeol.
