Pei Lin is cowardly by nature and has no talent for generals; What he thought about was how to keep Jinyang from losing, so he ordered the people of Yutai Erzhou to enter the castle, and burned their savings to resist Liu Wuzhou; But it made the people uneasy, and the people's minds were confused. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Lu Chongmao, a common man in Xia County, took the opportunity to rebel and responded to Liu Wuzhou, and Wang Xingben, a general of the Sui Dynasty, also took the opportunity to rebel and dedicated Huzhou to Liu Wuzhou; Since then, there is no more land for Li Tang to the east of Jinyang.

Song Jingang and Pei Lin began to confront each other in Jinyang, but Liu Wuzhou led the remaining 100,000 troops to Weize Pass. Wei Ze Pass is the Niangzi Pass of later generations, and the current garrison here is Pingyang Princess Li Xiuning.

When Li Xiuning heard that Liu Wuzhou's 50,000 troops were coming to attack, he was frightened; Although this Wei Ze Pass is dangerous, he only has 5,000 men and horses under his command, how can he stop the enemy's 50,000 troops.

Li Xiuning asked people to rectify the city defense, and at the same time sent people to fly horses to Jinyang and Chang'an to report emergencies. Due to the lack of military strength in the pass, the situation in Niangzi Pass is very dangerous. Faced with an army several times her size, Princess Pingyang was anxious, pacing anxiously on the castle tower to think of ideas, while looking far away, waiting for reinforcements to arrive.

Suddenly, she accidentally saw the grain in the field in the distance, and she suddenly became wise and calculated.

Li Xiuning quickly returned to his residence, and then gathered 5,000 women's troops and asked them and the soldiers and civilians in the city to harvest rice immediately; Then set up a pot and boil rice soup with new rice. Everyone didn't know what was going on, but the boss had an order, and they all hurried to follow it.

After the rice soup was boiled, Princess Pingyang ordered her subordinates to mix the urine of humans and animals, and poured all of them from the gate into the ravine in front of the gate in the night.

The next day, the ravine in front of the Reed Ze Pass was overflowing with rice soup, and after the enemy sentry found it, they suspected it to be horse urine and hurriedly reported it to Liu Wuzhou.

After Liu Wuzhou was defeated by Chai Shao, he became more and more cautious, he listened to the report of the sentry, went out of the tent to watch, only to see the banner on the tower of the Weize Pass, the soldiers and civilians shouted to the sky, the war drums were beating, and he mistakenly judged that the enemy's reinforcements had arrived, because he was afraid of being ambushed, he did not directly lead the troops to attack the city, but retreated ten miles to set up camp and continue to inquire about the news.

At this time, because the battle between Wagang and Wang Shichong around the newly built Jin Yong City broke out again, Cheng Zhijie led two thousand guards to escort the bows and arrows and blades to detour through Hebei and enter Shanxi.

"Demon King, the front is Wei Zeguan, it is said that Chai Shao's brother's wife is stationed, shall we go and visit." The double whip that has been acting as a caravan guard and escorting the caravan of the Great Demon Kingdom will cover the golden city and the iron rod to cover the ox to report.

Cheng Zhijie laughed and said, "Okay! Weize Pass is the only way to enter Shanxi, why don't we go and say hello? ”

Before his words fell, the sentry Pegasus came to report, and Weize Pass was under martial law, strictly prohibiting pedestrians from entering and leaving, as if he was fighting.

Cheng Zhijie and the others looked at each other, didn't Li Tang fight with Xue Ju in Guanzhong? Why is Shanxi also fighting, and the flames of war have burned to Weize Pass, is this Shanxi lost?

"It's better to come early than to come at a good time, let's go up and have a look." Everyone agreed, and followed him to the front of the Reed Ze Pass.

Li Xiuning knew that the suspicious soldier's plan was deceived for a while, but he couldn't be deceived for a lifetime; Sooner or later, Liu Wuzhou will see through it and come back again. And Li Tang is now facing a two-front battle, and the war is erosive, and the entire Shanxi has lost most of it; There will be no reinforcements at all.

Without reinforcements, it would be impossible for her to hold the Reed Pass, and if she took the opportunity to retreat, she would be able to save her life. But this is equivalent to exposing Hedong and Guanzhong to the enemy's iron hooves, and Liu Wuzhou may attack Li Tang's hinterland at any time.

Just when she was worried, a general of the women's army came in and reported: "A team of people came from behind Guancheng, led by a person named Cheng Zhijie, who asked to see the county lord. ”

Happiness came too suddenly, and Li Xiuning was almost stunned by a huge surprise; She rose to her feet, and in her haste brought the table down. "Quick, come with me!"

"Fifth brother, didn't you fall from the sky? Why did they suddenly come to our Weize Pass? ”

Cheng Zhijie laughed and said, "Why do you all say that I fell from the sky?" How badly did I have to fall? It's almost a portrait! ”

"Poof!" Li Xiuning and her own soldiers all laughed. Cheng Zhijie said: "We are here to escort bows and crossbows and arrows to you." At the right time, I learned that you were at war, so I came over to take a look, how about it? Is it still timely? ”

"In time, so timely! What a timely rain! On the other side, Liu Wuzhou, Liang Shidu, and the Turks brought 50,000 troops to attack, while I only had 5,000 men, and I was worried about how to defend? Fifth brother, you're here! ”

Cheng Zhijie said with a smile: "Brother and sister, don't worry, Liu Wuzhou is a guy who sells his head in my eyes; Just watch how I clean him up! Let's stop catching up here, let's go into the customs. ”

Li Xiuning agreed twice, led the way in front and let them into Weize Pass. The arrival of Cheng Zhijie and others greatly enhanced the morale of the military and civilians in Weizeguan; It's not that there are so many of them, and it's not that everyone knows how good they can fight, it's mainly that the carts of bows and crossbows give everyone courage.

Coming to the hall of Wei Zeguan, Li Xiuning sat down with everyone, and she saw Yang Jier beside Cheng Zhijie at a glance. Yang Jier's beauty made the county lord who didn't let the woman shave her eyebrows also stunned, and said with a smile: "There are always beautiful women around the fifth brother; Where did this guy come from? ”

Cheng Zhijie's face darkened and said, "What is a lie?" Your five sisters-in-law and I are truly in love, okay? Besides, this Yang Jier is the princess of the Great Sui Dynasty; People have a soft spot for your brother Li Shimin; I snatched it from Yu Wenhuaji's hands; Someone sent him away. ”

Li Xiuning heard it and said repeatedly: "How can the second brother He De actually make Her Royal Highness the princess fall in love with him." Don't worry! The second brother is leading troops to fight with Xue Ju, you can live with me with peace of mind, and when the battle is over, I will send you to Chang'an to reunite with him. ”

Yang Ji'er blushed and said, "Thank you, sister" and lowered her head and said nothing; Li Xiuning arranged for female soldiers to take her down.

"Fifth brother, although we have 7,000 people with your men, we have 7,000 people, and some of the young people from the people of Weize Pass are only 8,000 at most, which is still quite different from the enemy. Is there anything you can do to help me defend the Reed Pass? ”

Cheng Zhijie said with a smile: "The way to use soldiers is to attack the heart." This attack is to chill the enemy's courage, and the other is to strengthen one's own will. After a while, we will transport all the bows and crossbows to the city tower, so that the soldiers and civilians of Weize Pass can see our strength.

In addition, Liu Wuzhou is like a rogue, going from place to place and grabbing one place, his reputation is not very good, we have to publicize this matter to everyone's ears; Let them know that it is impossible to escape or surrender; Strengthen their faith.

For the enemy, we have to make the illusion that reinforcements have arrived, and let people go out of the city to challenge the battle and kill the enemy's general; Fears the enemy. ”

Li Xiuning said: "Okay! I'll arrange these; The fifth brother's talent is several times better than mine; Please command this battle! ”

Cheng Zhijie shook his head and said, "It's better to come younger brothers and sisters!" My battlefield is not here. My plan was for me to lead a thousand men out of the Reed Pass and sneak around behind the enemy; When the battle situation was anxious, he attacked the enemy's camp and defeated Liu Wuzhou's army in one fell swoop. ”

Li Xiuning: "No, fifth brother, this is too dangerous!" The enemy has an army of 50,000 and you only have 1,000 men, how can you do this? ”

Cheng Zhijie said with a smile: "Brother and sister, don't persuade anymore, although I have few people, but it's just a sneak attack and not the main battlefield." You only have 7,000 men and you have to hold off the enemy's 50,000 troops, and that's the real danger.

This time, I'm just waiting for Liang Shitai to go out; Blue Sky Bi and Jincheng Niugai are all left for you to help you protect the Reed Ze Pass.

Tianbi, you must listen to General Li's orders here, if you dare to disobey, I will not spare you when you come back. ”

Lan Tianbi nodded and said, "Brother, don't worry, I will be obedient." ”

"Well, Jincheng and Niu Gai, haven't you two always wanted to go to the battlefield? Now here's your chance, put on a good show. ”

"Demon King, don't worry! You must not lose face. ”

Cheng Zhijie explained to them, and led a thousand men and horses with Liang Shitai to secretly go out of Weize Pass and hide in the mountains next to them.

Liu Wuzhou hesitated for several days, and finally decided to come back to see what was going on; He led Liang Shidu and the Turkic army back to the front of the Reed Pass again.

The reeds are still densely packed, but the yellow rice soup in the mountain stream is gone. Only then did Liu Wuzhou know about the plan and led the army to attack Weize Pass.

When they heard that Wei Zeguan was Li Yuan's daughter Li Xiuning led 5,000 women's troops to guard it, he sent a general to challenge him in front of the pass.

Who knew that Wei Zeguan actually closed the door wide, and then rushed out of a team of 500 people from inside; The first general was tall and round, with a large waist and a large axe of 300 pounds in his hand.

Liu Wuzhou and Liang Shi were almost so frightened that they didn't fall off their horses; How could this killing god be in the Reed Ze Pass? Could it be that the soldiers and horses of the Great Demon Kingdom have arrived? When they raised their eyes like the city to watch, they saw the cold light shining, and the military flag of the Great Demon Kingdom was faintly waving.

The two were so shocked that they forgot to send troops and send generals; The blue sky on the opposite side went out of the city to face the battle, but no one was angry, and the wow-wah shouted: "Listen to the thieves on the other side!" Your Uncle Lan is here! That one dares to fight! ”

This sound was really like a thunderbolt, which frightened Liu Wuzhou's coalition troops and retreated again and again. Liu Wuzhou's face was also very ugly, he looked at Wang Lun, the general next to him, and asked him to go out to face the enemy.

Wang Lun was so frightened that he almost ran out of urine, but the prince didn't dare to disobey, so he yelled to strengthen himself and rushed up.

"A certain family on the other side is Wang Lun under the account of King Dingyang, and he will be killed quickly!"

Lan Tianbi glared at Wang Lun, and he was so frightened that he trembled; Lan Tian Bihaha laughed and said, "The guts rats also rushed to die." After a certain blue sky, don't report the wrong name when you see Lord Yama; Axe! As he spoke, he picked up the big axe and cut it.
