Let Xu Shiji act as his own bodyguard? Li Xuanba didn't even think about it, because this was too wasteful of Xu Shiji's talent.

Wang Fubao led a thousand cavalry to take the lead, and Xu Shiji followed Li Xuanba closely, as if he really regarded himself as an entourage.

"General Xu, you should know what you should do most at this time." When the army was being integrated, Li Xuanba looked at the more than 2,500 horsemen in formation, and said without a head: "Although Wagang has been defeated, there are still many counties and counties that have not surrendered to the Northern Sui, and you should go to your hometown instead of accompanying your father." ”

"Lord Zhou Guogong can trust the general?" Xu Shiji's expression moved slightly, and he said calmly: "My lord has only known Shiji for more than ten days, you let me go, aren't you worried that Shiji will never return?" ”

"My father can defeat you twice, and naturally he can defeat you a third time, so what's there to worry about?" Li Xuanba said casually: "Besides, Ling Zun and the general's relatives are still in the river, if the general abandons them, my father can only think that he is blind." ”

Using relatives as a threat is not a fair and honest thing, but Li Xuanba just said it so naturally.

Thinking that he had indeed not won against Li Xuanba, Xu Shiji was speechless for a while, and arched his hand: "Lord Zhou Guogong, General Wang and Mr. Li are not by your side, if the last general also leaves, who will be responsible for the safety of your lordship?" ”

Under Li Xuanba's edict, the eldest grandson Wuji, Liang Xiao and Xiao Xiaowei and others have already led some soldiers and horses to Jiangdu.

"Naturally, it's them." Li Xuanba pointed at Li Jiuzhi, Li Qijian and others, and said with a smile: "With them, the general doesn't have to worry." ”

Xu Shiji inexplicably felt that Li Xuanba's smile was a little cold, obviously it was a hot summer, but Li Xuanba's smile made him feel like he was in a cold winter. He followed Li Xuanba's finger and looked at Li Qijian and the others. He wanted to feel some warmth from their young faces, but all he saw was a terrifying cold look.

Li Jiuzhi's face was very dark, so Xu Shiji didn't look at him, and even so, he could guess what he would see.

Facing thousands of troops. Xu Shiji has never been frightened, but today, he has a feeling of being frightened, riding on Chiyan, Xu Shiji is like sitting on pins and needles.

Without thinking too much, Xu Shiji instinctively thought that he should listen to Li Xuanba's orders, so he surrendered his hand and led more than a dozen relatives to ride horses away.

With Xu Shiji's ability. Li Xuanba knew that he didn't need to say anything, in fact, he really didn't say anything.

"Childe, everything is ready." Li Jiuzhi had a black face and rode to Li Xuanba's side.

Li Xuanba looked at Li Jiuzhi's face darker than in Huairong, and narrowed his eyes: "Let's go!" ”

Sitting on the land of several counties and commanding hundreds of thousands of troops, Zhu Cang was not happy during this time.

There is no food. Isn't it time to eat people? Women and children are of no use on the battlefield and waste food. Caught and cooked and eaten, it's a matter of course, right? Human flesh tastes so good, how can anyone object to themselves because of this?

"Your Majesty, a large number of cavalry were found near Nanyang Town, and they were raided and killed when they encountered the officers and soldiers of the imperial court." While Zhu Cang was sitting on the dragon chair thinking, an official ran to the hall tremblingly. He bowed to the ground and said: "According to investigation, those cavalry are the elite division under the command of King Xia, led by the enemy general Wang Fubao himself. ”

"Sent by Dou Jiande?" Zhu Cang came back to his senses, took an arm from the hand of the concubine beside him, and gnawed indifferently. said: "How many people are on the other side?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, there are about more than a thousand horsemen." The official didn't dare to raise his head, and replied in a trembling voice.

"King Xia is really a good person, knowing that I lack a war horse, he took the initiative to send it, how can I not laugh at it?" Zhu Cang laughed loudly and said viciously: "I ordered you to personally lead an army of 10,000 to Nanyang, be sure to kill Wang Fubao, and don't hurt my battle, otherwise, you should know what I will do!" ”

The official's face was as pale as earth, but he didn't dare to beg for mercy, so he could only agree obediently. His relatives were all imprisoned by Zhu Cang, and if he couldn't kill Wang Fubao and bring those war horses back to Guanxian County, then his relatives would be reduced to Zhu Cang and the courtiers.

Thinking that Zhu Cang was eating the meat of his young grandson in his hands, the official's stomach turned upside down, and after leaving the palace, he hurriedly ran to a remote corner and vomited.

The guards guarding outside the hall saw the appearance of the official, and their dull faces showed a trace of curiosity, thinking: Lord Zhong has eaten so much human flesh, how can he vomit when he sees His Majesty eating people?

Of Zhu Cang's 100,000 troops, only more than 30,000 remained in Guanxian County, and the others went to various places to exterminate the rebels, and now they have been taken away by the official 10,000 people, and Guanxian's defense is obviously much weaker.

Under the tyranny, Guanxian was uninhabited during the day, and at night, it was even more crowded.

A flash of fire lit up in the city, billowing smoke into the sky!

More than 2,000 cavalry suddenly appeared outside the city like a ghost, and the soldiers defending the city had no time to react, so they were cut down to the ground by their comrades.

The city gate slowly opened, and Li Xuanba led the cavalry to rush directly in, without encountering any resistance along the way, because someone helped them clear a road. More than 100 soldiers held long knives and watched with excitement as 2,500 iron horsemen passed in front of them, with relieved expressions on their faces.

"Ang Lee, get on the horse!" Li Jiuzhi was riding on a horse, and he was still holding an unmanned war horse in his hand, he walked up to the young man led by him and urged.

"Brothers, close the gates, and your vengeance will soon be avenged!" Li An turned over and said to the people standing on the ground: "Over there in the Jialou Palace, don't go, so as not to be injured by mistake!" After speaking, he chased Li Jiuzhi away.

"That person called him Ang Lee just now?" After a long time, someone reacted: "Isn't his name Cui An?" ”

The sound of horses' hooves alarmed the sleeping soldiers, and the military camp in Dongcheng was suddenly in chaos, they put on their armor haphazardly, picked up their weapons, and rushed out of the tent, waiting for orders. They knew how cruel Zhu Cang was, and they didn't dare to take a step late.

"There are traitors attacking the Jialou Palace, soldiers, hurry up and go with the general to escort you!" A general rode to Dongcheng and shouted: "Escapees, kill!" After speaking, he took the lead out of Dongcheng.

Zhu Cang can live to this day, of course, there are people who are loyal to him, the general was so anxious, just out of the east city gate, several sharp arrows appeared in the dark night, shot him into a hedgehog, and rolled off the horse. Frightened, the horse neighed and ran back to the eastern city.

"Zhu Cang is brutal and immoral, the Duke of Zhou of the Southern Sui Dynasty received the mandate of heaven to take his life, and if you dare to take a step in Dongcheng, don't blame the sky for not sparing you!" When the soldiers of Dongcheng saw that the general had been killed, they were already terrified, and when they heard someone shouting in the night, they fell to their knees and cried and begged the heavens to save their wives and children.

Li Lin breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the only dozen soldiers around him, and secretly said that Li An's words really worked.

There will be no problems here in Dongcheng for the time being, Li Lin set his eyes on Jialou Palace again, he stood outside the palace, but he could clearly hear the sound of fighting and crying from the palace! (To be continued.) )
