Xue Shixiong saw that he could no longer resist it, and ordered loudly: "Withdraw!" Fall back! Then he took his sons and ran away; Cheng Yanjin was in hot pursuit. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Seeing that Cheng Biting Jin's horse was fast, and it was difficult for them to escape, Xue Wanshu suddenly reined in the war horse and roared: "Father and younger brother, go quickly!" Stop this thief! ”

Xue Shixiong was shocked, turned his head to look at this usually cowardly eldest son, his eyes were red, and tears welled up.

It is a pain in his heart that the son is not like the father, and he has always disliked this son, and he is beaten and scolded on weekdays; But the more this happened, the more Xue Wanshu was submissive, which made him even more angry. I didn't expect that at today's critical juncture, he was the first to stand up.

"Shu'er!" Xue Shixiong burst into tears; Xue Wanshu trembled when he heard this long-ago and familiar name, and two lines of hot tears blurred his eyes. "Kill!" Xue Wanshu gritted his teeth, roared and urged the horse wheel knife to meet Cheng Yanjin.

Where would Cheng Biting Jin put him in his eyes, with a swing of the big axe, he slashed it first. Who knew that Xue Wanshu did not dodge or dodge, and with a loud shout, the golden knife continued to cut down.

Cheng Yanjin scolded secretly, reined in the war horse, and raised his axe to parry. Hearing a sound, Xue Wanshu's golden knife almost flew out; I don't care about it, and continue to slash like crazy.

Cheng Biting Jin was furious, one horse and three axes were as fast as lightning, Xue Wanshu couldn't parry anymore, and the big knife in his hand was chopped away by Cheng Biting Jin's axe; He was almost cut too. This Xue Wanshu still didn't give up, shouted, and then the two horses made a mistake in the stirrup, drew out the sword and jumped up and stabbed.

Cheng Biting Jin scolded: "Crazy! The big axe was reversed, and with a bang, the sword in Xue Wanshu's hand shattered into several pieces, splashing everywhere; Then the axe didn't stop at all, and the back of the axe slammed heavily into Xue Wanshu's chest.

As if he had been hit by a battering ram, Xue Wanshu spurted a mouthful of blood and flew upside down. Then he fell down the cliff in a flash. His head was hitting a rock, and 10,000 peach blossoms were blooming.

Lao Cheng glanced at him and said, "It's a pity! "Look for Xue Shixiong and the others again, they have already run far away. Lao Cheng knew that it would be difficult to catch up again, so he had to go back.

Xue Wanshu was being suppressed by Dongfang Yumei and had no power to fight back, and saw her eldest brother die tragically; exclaimed: "Big brother! As a result, his brain slipped and he was stabbed in the shoulder by Dongfang Yumei, and then turned over and fell off the horse. Liangshan's soldiers had already caught up with him and tied him up strongly.

Besides, Xue Shixiong and Tang Bi gathered the remnants of the defeated army, and they also got a total of more than 30,000 people, and then quickly fled like Jinan City.

When they fled to the city of Jinan, they saw that the city gate was closed, and the city was empty and there was no one in sight. Tang Bi scolded secretly and urged him to step forward and shouted: "The soldiers in the city listen! A certain is Jinan Thorn Shi Tang Wall! Hurry up and let us in! ”

As soon as his words fell, there were shouts of murder in the city; Then the dragon flag of the Sui Dynasty was thrown down from above; A mighty army stood at the head of the city. One by one, they bent their bows and arrows and pointed at Tang Bi.

The first member of the general is majestic, with a pale golden complexion; Wearing a familiar bronze helmet and wearing Tang Ni armor, it is Qin Qiong, the army chief of Liangshan.

It turned out that Qin Qiong, in accordance with Li Jing's orders, disguised himself as the Sui army in the name of coming back to urge food, defrauded Jinan City, and controlled all the people who drove Shangguan Rong and others; Waiting for Tang Bi to come back.

When Tang Bi saw that Jinan was lost, he was distressed and almost fell off his horse; He yelled: "Siege! Take Jinan back for me! As soon as his soldiers rushed upward, they were shot back by a rain of arrows.

Tang Bi continued to charge, but was stopped by Xue Shixiong. Tang Bi was very dissatisfied and said, "Brother Xue, there are not many people in Qin Qiong!" Our 30,000 people are fully able to bring Jinan down! As long as we attract all the enemies here. I assure you that the big families in the city will definitely respond to us. ”

Xue Shixiong smiled bitterly and said, "Lord Tang, the number of enemies is not much, and they can't defend it thoroughly!" But look at us. We don't even have the simplest ladder, how can we climb up Jinan City, which is several feet high? ”

Tang Bi was stunned and shouted, "Then why don't you hurry up and cut down trees to build a ladder?" This time, even Xue Wanche pouted. Xue Shixiong said: "Lord Tang, behind us are the pursuers of Liangshan, where is there time to build ladders!" Let's go! I don't have the face to go to Henan again, let's hurry back to Zhuozhou to gather soldiers and horses; Then let's take revenge for today! ”

Tang Bi sighed, there was no choice but to follow Xue Shixiong and the others step by step, bypassing Jinan City and returning to Zhuozhou.

Cheng Yanjin arranged for him to enter Jinan City, and then let Ling Jing come to Jinan from Jeju, and Jeju was temporarily handed over to Cen Xiangzhi for management.

Then Cheng Biting Jin ordered Niu Tong to be the head of the West Road and Xiong Kuohai, and led 10,000 people to Gaotang to sit in the town to meet the thieves Kou Sun Anzu and Zhang Chengjin in Texas; In the end, Zhang Shigui was left to assist Ling Jing here.

Because of receiving a message, Cheng Yanjin had to end the first expansion, silently digest the territory in his hand, and then take people back to Liangshan.

At this time, Zhang Ding, who went to sea for the first time, had returned victorious! The Pioneer withstood the test of the sea, and when the other ships were damaged to varying degrees, only the Pioneer returned unharmed.

During this months-long trip, Zhang Ding and others experienced the Wa Kingdom in the East, to the Ryukyus, to Siam in the South China Sea, and other countries. This trip not only brought back a large number of rare specialties from these places, but also opened the eyes of Zhang Ding and others, and they took their eyes away from the Central Plains hegemony.

Cheng Yanjin held a grand welcome ceremony for Zhang Ding and them, at which Zhang Ding and others presented some special products that everyone had never seen, which made the people of Liangshan exclaim.

But the next day, before Zhang Ding had time to rest, Cheng Yanjin took him to Dengzhou, and they met Lai Cheng and Zhou Shaoji, who were waiting here.

When they heard that they were going to send troops to attack Goguryeo, these people were very excited, and they shouted loudly one by one. Cheng Yanjin decided that Liangshan would send 10,000 sailors, 10,000 infantry troops, plus 10,000 Dengzhou sailors, and 20,000 Dengzhou elite soldiers, for a total of 50,000 people to go to Goguryeo.

At the same time, he sent a letter to Luo Song and Luo Jian in Youzhou, asking them to attack Liaodong by land and contain the Goguryeo army.

This time, the chief manager of the expedition to Goguryeo was Cheng Yanjin, the chief of the naval army Zhang Ding and Zhang Zhongjian, and the deputy commanders Zhou Shaoji, Lu Xingxing and Lu Mingyue. Qin Qiong, Qin Shubao, the general of the army, Lai Quan, the deputy general Lai Quan, the general Duan Zhixuan, Liang Shitai, Han Shige, Dongfang Yumei, Zhang Chuchen and others accompanied him. Counselor Li Jing, Military Aircraft Division; Cen Wenwen, the director of logistics scheduling, accompanied him.

In February of the following year, the Liangshan army had been revised, and Cheng Biting Jin slaughtered cattle and sheep to sacrifice his ancestors and Sheji; Then all the soldiers marched in line, and the slaughtered cattle and sheep had to turn around in the queue left and right, called "martyrdom", and announced that "those who do not need to die will be killed".

Commander Qin Qiong personally poured the blood of the animals on the weapons, called "provocation", and symbolically poured a little blood on the flags, war drums, gold duos, and weapons used in the war. After the sacrifice, the cattle and sheep were cooked, that is, "gizzard meat", and distributed to the soldiers to enjoy.

Then the governor Du Ruhui sent a letter to the heavens, announcing that the king of Goguryeo, Gao Yuan, was cruel and unkind, and did not respect the courtesy; Raise the army to ask for it. Then Cheng bit Jindeng, and the people waited for the battleship to kill Goguryeo.

After Luo Song and Luo Jian arrived in Youzhou, they asked Luo Yi to go to the north to guard; Luo Yi thought that there was no other place to settle them, so he agreed to the request of the two and gave them 10,000 horses to go to Liaodong to guard.

This year, three more heroes came to defect, namely Tang Bi and Xue Wanjun, who were defeated in Shandong, and Xue Wanche.

It turned out that Xue Shixiong returned to Hebei with the remnants of the defeated army, wanting to regroup the army and go out to suppress the bandits again. His return made the originally excited Hebei rebels jump again; There is a hero named Dou Jiande, who has been farming for generations, has served as a lieutenant governor, is still a hero, and is respected by the township; Because he witnessed the tyranny of the Sui Dynasty, he led more than 200 people to join the righteous army of Gaoshida in Hebei, and his family was also killed, and only the youngest daughter Dou Xianniang survived because she was outcast.

Gao Shida found that Dou Jiande was witty and brave, so he appointed him as a soldier and was in charge of all the soldiers and horses; In the past few years, they eliminated Wei Dao'er and other Hebei rebels, and their prestige was greatly shaken, and they became the leaders of the Hebei rebels.

Dou Jiande just sang a bitter trick with Gao Shida, and deceived the trust of Guo Xun, who stayed in Zhuozhou, with the method of fake surrender; Then he wiped out Guo Xun's team in one fell swoop, and got more than 1,000 war horses, countless heavy weapons and armor. When they were in high spirits, they heard that Xue Shixiong, the old county guard, had returned.

When Gao Shida and others heard that Xue Shixiong had returned, they were frightened and panicked, some advocated escaping, and some advocated surrender; No one dared to fight.

Dou Jiande planned to attack Xue Shixiong's team; At that time, they were more than 100 miles away from Xue Shixiong. He personally led a death squad of 280 men to go first, and let the others follow and agreed: to attack them when they arrived at Xueying, and if it was already dawn when they arrived, they would surrender.

Everyone else thinks they can't walk more than 140 miles in one night; all want to resign themselves to fate and gamble with him; If you can't do it, surrender.

As a result, Dou Jiande led the army to a place less than a mile away from Xue Ying, and the sky was about to brighten, Dou Jiande was confused and discussed the surrender with everyone. At this time, the north wind was howling, the clouds were thick, and there was almost no one on the other side.

Dou Jiande yelled: "Help me this day!" So he led his army into Xue's camp and attacked them. When the others saw that this god really had help, they entered the Sui camp one by one in high spirits.

Xue Shixiong was unprepared for this attack, and for a time the barracks were in chaos, the soldiers all jumped over the fence and fled, and Xue Shixiong could not stop even killing several people.

He had no choice but to flee back to Zhuojun under the protection of several sons and Tang Bi and dozens of cavalry on the left and right. Not long after returning to Zhuo County, Xue Shixiong was ashamed and angry, fell ill and died.
