As the so-called tree fell and scattered, the first battle of Bishan was lost, Pei Renji, Zu Junyan and others were captured, and the Wagang army that was rampant in the world fell apart in an instant.

Subsequently, Wang Shichong took advantage of the victory to pursue and prepare to besiege Yanshi, but he did not expect that as soon as the army arrived at Yanshi City, the Wagang army surrendered the city. Pei Xingyan, Cheng Yanjin and others were recuperating in the city, and they had no power to resist and were captured by Wang Shichong.

After taking the Yanshi, Wang Shichong continued to lead the army to chase and kill Li Mi. He knows very well that Li Mi is clever and prestigious, as long as he is given a little respite, he can make a comeback and resurrect from the ashes. Moreover, he still has his hole cards that are not lit.

Li Mi originally planned to wait for Wang Shichong to cross Luoshui halfway and attack the Jianghuai army, but he didn't expect that the Wagang army was panicked, and many people secretly defected to Wang Shichong. It was not until the Jianghuai army crossed Luoshui and was less than ten miles away from the Wagang army that Li Mi got the news and fled in a hurry.

After experiencing several betrayals, Li Mi did not dare to return to Luokou Cangcheng and headed towards the Tiger Prison Pass. Li Mi's decision this time saved his life, because as soon as he left on his front foot, Bing Yuanzhen dedicated Luokou Cangcheng to Wang Shichong.

Bing Yuanzhen is Wang Shichong's hole card, and Li Mi's escape route is also what Bing Yuanzhen sent to tell Wang Shichong.

After listening to the people's story, Li Xuanba's face remained calm, he already knew these news before, but there were some details that the spies could not find out.

"Alas, if Duke Wei loses the battle, he will definitely be unwilling, the court and Wagang don't know how long they will fight, and it is not us people who will suffer?" Some people sighed. They were the people near Xingyang, or were they used to call Li Mi the Duke of Wei.

"Thank you for informing me." Li Xuanba politely thanked him. It happened that Li Qifu and the old man in the tea shop came back, so Li Xuanba asked Liang Xiao to leave two white coins and get on the horse. It's not that Li Xuanba is stingy. Because once more money is given, the old man will become dangerous.

What happened in Luoyang City, Li Xuanba felt that it was impossible for ordinary people to know, so he didn't ask more.

"Childe, the villain was a little confused just now, Li Mi helped the Northern Sui eradicate Yu Wenhua, which can be regarded as avenging the first emperor. Why did King Zhao still crusade against Li Mi? Leaving the tea shop, Liang Xiao was puzzled: "If the Wagang army is contained, the strength of the Northern Sui Imperial Court should not be afraid of the Tang Dynasty." ”

"Li Mi is a fierce tiger. He was injured in the fight with Yu Culture, but the injured tiger is still not a cat. Li Xuanba had something on his mind and replied casually: "Do you think he will really surrender to Yang Gao?" Zhai Rang's body was not yet fully decomposed. With the characters of Yang Gao and Wang Shichong. Where can Luoyang accommodate him. ”

Li Mi thought that he would be able to gain the trust of the Northern Sui court by defeating Yu Wenhua, but in fact, when he fantasized about entering Luoyang, Wang Shichong had already reorganized his army and could give him a fatal blow at any time.

"I really didn't expect that King Zhao would be so vicious at such a young age." Liang Xiao was stunned and said, "Fortunately, the son left Luoyang. Otherwise, you will definitely be wronged. ”

Li Xuanba shook his head and smiled, but did not answer. Then he lowered his head and seriously thought about the relationship between Yang Gao and Wang Shichong.

If he is not mistaken, in history, Wang Shichong should have set up Yang Dong, and then fought a decisive battle with Li Mi, could it be that Yang Dong was replaced by Yang Gao, and Wang Shichong became so honest? Or does Wang Shichong feel that now is not the time to stand on his own?

I really couldn't think clearly, Li Xuanba didn't bother to think about it, he looked up into the distance, and he missed the means of transportation that traveled thousands of miles or even tens of thousands of miles a day

Having spent too much time in Jiangdu, Li Xuanba was accustomed to a stable life, so when he left Donghai County farther away, he began to become unaccustomed to it, especially when they had to pass through Wagang's original sphere of influence.

In the troubled times, it turns out that there are really people who will starve to death! There are really some people who will eat it!

Li Xuanba and others walked all the way to the edge of the Yellow River and saw too much purgatory on earth.

May was the season of green grass and lush foliage, but when the group walked to Lu County, they found that they could not find a complete tree, and the surrounding villages, except for some old people waiting for death, could not see half of the young strong men at all.

Li Xuanba thought that this was already the worst scene, but when he continued to walk north, he realized that he was thinking too much.

The remains of a child were randomly thrown on the side of the road, and there was not even a handful of dirt on their bodies, and the blood and internal organs were on the side, staining a small piece of land red.

Not far away, a young girl was unclothed, except for her head, the flesh on her body had been eaten clean, her eyes were wide, and she didn't know what kind of despair and disbelief she had experienced before she died.

Walking a few dozen steps to the north, there was a pile of torn clothes, and next to the clothes, there were ashes from the fire, who dared to imagine what was roasting on it before the fire was extinguished?

Passing through a village, entering a room, there are two corpses hugging each other on a bed made of wooden planks, their bodies have rotted and emitted a foul smell, mosquitoes and flies are flying around the room leisurely, and white insects are crawling on the corpses.

In another room, the body of an old man lay on the edge of the bed, his hand reaching for the head of the bed with a cane, making a final struggle before dying.

A few hundred steps outside the village, a large pit was dug and the bones in the pit were scattered, some of them were already charred black, and some of them had not even changed their clothes. On the way from the village to the big pit, several corpses were thrown horizontally, presumably because the villagers did not have the strength to carry them into the pit.

Li Xuanba has killed many people, but he is still shocked by the picture he saw.

The tender hands of children, the jade feet of young girls, and the knife marks on the skinny old man all depict a tragic cannibalistic scene.

There was no food, no poultry, just the death gas that permeated everywhere.

The fire ignited, burning the village to ashes, Li Xuanba solemnly watched the fire grow and rode forward.

Li Xuanba was surprisingly silent, and Liang Xiao's face was also very pale, and it wasn't until everyone was far away from the village that they couldn't suppress the tumbling in their stomachs and kept throwing up.

"Let's sleep in the wild from now on." After Li Xuanba finished speaking, he thought of the previous picture again and retched. Liang Xiao and the others nodded silently, the scene in the village had a greater impact on them.

The wilderness is also unstable, there are often dozens of thieves haunted, no one is born a thief, and those who fall into the grass are pitiful.

Li Xuanba will not hand over the mount under his crotch, the weapon in his hand, and the dry food in the package because these people are pitiful, the thieves want to survive, and Li Xuanba They don't want to die, so they can only let those poor people die.

At this time, before the Yellow River has been crossed, such a tragic situation has already occurred, who knows what will happen to the north bank of the Yellow River?

Li Mi was defeated, did Yang Gao of Luoyang and Xu Shiji of Liyang care about the lives of the people? (To be continued.) )
