The first snow of the twelfth winter of Yuanhe seems to have come a little earlier and heavier than usual. The snowflakes flying in the sky and the cold wind that was cold to the bones drove all living beings, including the human beings who were the head of all things, back to their lairs, leaving only a white expanse between heaven and earth. However, in this devilish weather where drops of water turned into ice, there was a force of 3,000 people who were braving the wind and snow and struggling to move forward. That's right, they are Tang Sui Deng Jiedu's envoy Li Yu and the warriors under his command.

In order to achieve the effect of taking them by surprise and attacking them unprepared, Li Yu adopted strict secrecy measures for this military operation, and only three people knew about it: Li Yu, Li Hu, and Li Zhongyi. The three thousand soldiers embarked on the journey of death in such a ignorant way, if the dead were not Wu Yuanji, then it must be them!

During the march, Li Yu solemnly announced: the destination of this trip, Caizhou; The purpose of this trip was to capture Wu Yuanji alive. Three thousand soldiers, look at me, I look at you, despair is written all over his cheeks: It's over, it's completely over, just 3,000 people, they want to go deep into the hinterland of the enemy army, that's not meat buns beating dogs! Boss, are you crazy? Got water in your brain? Let the door frame squeeze? Let the donkey kick? By the way, it must have been the ** soup of the Li Hu, definitely!

Despite their doubts, fears, and dissatisfaction, the 3,000 soldiers did not, and they did not dare to stop moving forward, because after all, military law is not child's play, and there is no room for the slightest slackness. What's more, their boss, Tang and Deng Jiedu's envoy Li Yu, are also with them, braving the wind and snow together, facing life and death together, with such a leader, it is worth dying.

The north wind is still roaring, the snowflakes are still dancing wildly, and the cold is like a ruthless killer, taking away one fresh life after another. Perhaps, they were once young and frivolous; Perhaps, they were once magnificent; Perhaps, they were once drunk on the battlefield. Now, they are falling silently one by one, perhaps, they are just too tired and need a good rest; Perhaps, they are just too cold and need the warmth of the earth.

The comrades-in-arms fell one by one, which stimulated the fighting spirit of this team, and with tears in their eyes, they watched the flying snowflakes bury their former comrades-in-arms little by little, and gradually piled up into snow mounds. Turning their heads, they wiped tears from their eyes and continued their arduous trek. Wu Yuanji, your end is coming, for the sake of those dead comrades-in-arms, take your life!

Late at night, Zhang Chai, the military town of Huaixi, the last barrier of Caizhou, is now immersed in sweet dreams. Of course, in their sweet dreams, there should not be such a plot: the three thousand soldiers led by Li Yu were like divine soldiers descending from the sky, and with the wind and snow in the sky, they quietly touched the city wall and entered their military camp. When they woke up from their sleep one by one, they were surprised to find that they had become prisoners of the Tang Army.

After taking Zhang Chai, the tense nerves of the three thousand soldiers relaxed, and they asked one after another to temporarily station in Zhang Chai, and then set off after the wind and snow stopped. But Li Yu replied categorically: "No." Of course, Li Yu is not a very unreasonable person, he told the 3,000 soldiers under his command that now, we have penetrated deep into the hinterland of the enemy's army, and there are enemies in all directions, once our whereabouts are discovered by the enemy, we will be made dumplings, perhaps, only 3,000 people are not enough to stuff people's teeth. If we don't want to make dumplings in Huaixi, we should go all out, take Caizhou, and capture Wu Yuanji alive. In short, either the battle is decided, or the enemy is torn to pieces, which one do you choose? Naturally, the soldiers did not want to be torn to pieces, so they chose to move on. In this way, Li Yu left 500 men to guard Zhangzhai and cut off the bridge to Caizhou; Another 500 men were sent to guard Langshan to monitor the movements of the main force of the rebels, and he personally led 2,000 soldiers to set off overnight and make a long-distance attack on the final destination, Caizhou.

"In the snowflakes of the three thousand worlds", after a short rest, Li Yu and his warriors once again burrowed into the vast snowy night to continue their journey of death. It was the middle of the night, but the wind and snow were tighter. The cold wind is like a knife, the snowflakes are like a sword, a knife, a sword, a sword, and the brand-new banner is cut into strips and pieces. Of course, what is even more cruel is that the wind knife and snow blade endlessly stabbed the bodies of thousands of people and horses, constantly testing the limit of their patience, and constantly people and horses fell, but this time, they did not stop moving forward, because everyone had already made up their minds to die without returning, the wind was sluggish, the snow was cold, and the tragic feelings of the strong man who would never return were filled in the body of every soldier, making them more courageous.

However, Li Yu is not Jing Ke, although he chose to take risks, he firmly believes that the chance of success is very high. Sure enough, Li Yu and his warriors came to the city of Caizhou. From Zhang Chai to Caizhou, they traveled for more than 70 miles, went through difficulties, and finally saw the city wall of Caizhou City. Li Yu was very excited, and the soldiers were also very excited, you know, in more than 30 years, they were the first government army to reach Caizhou.

The walls of Caizhou City are not too high, but they are by no means short enough to jump over. Li Yu ran for a long time, it was impossible to carry siege equipment such as cloud ladders, although his subordinates were brave, they were not legendary martial arts masters, neither had the top light skills such as ladders and cloud verticals, nor could they have wonderful skills such as gecko swimming walls, why did they climb the high and slippery city wall? Don't panic, Li Yu already has a large handful of bamboo in his heart, and his method is very simple and effective, building soil and stones.

But the problem does not seem to be solved, because moving the ground and moving stones is bound to make a lot of noise, once the rebels defending the city are alarmed, the sneak attack will turn into a strong attack, and at that time, it will not be Wu Yuanji who will die, but Li Yu and his warriors, what to do? It didn't matter, Li Yu had already counted all the possibilities, he ordered his subordinates to disturb the poultry who were sleeping overnight, and for a while, the sound of chickens and dogs barking one after another, coupled with the howling north wind, muffled the sound of moving earth and rocks. The old, weak, sick and disabled who guarded the city may have heard the noise of the night terrors of the geese, muttered in a daze, stretched their waists, yawned, turned over by the way, and continued to dream of spring and autumn. Since they love to dream, let them do it, after all, for most of them, it will be the last dream of their lives.

Quietly, Li Yu and his warriors came, waving the dagger in their hands and not taking away a single living mouth. No, Li Yu still left a living mouth, that is, a husband, and the purpose of leaving them is of course to let them continue to fight to repay safety. In this way, the rebels defending the city unknowingly drank Meng Po's ** soup, and they became dead souls under the knife in a daze. After solving the rebels defending the city, thousands of troops, under the leadership of Li Hu, directly killed Wu Yuanji's camp. This time, someone finally escaped the butcher's knife raised by Li Yu, and ran to Wu Yuanji in a hurry, disturbing his dreams.

Wu Yuanji, who woke up from a sweet dream, was still reluctant to leave the warm bed, lying lazily on the bed, impatiently listening to the report of the soldier's anger, and then, Wu Yuanji laughed, laughed. Of course, Wu Yuanji laughed not without a reason, but this reason is a little ridiculous, not because of fear, not because of despair, not because of panic, not because of insanity, but because he didn't believe it at all: Li Yu is a hundred miles away, how can he appear in Caizhou? The noise in the city must have been their own troops, probably coming back to get winter clothes, right?

After a few words of scolding, Wu Yuanji put his head into the quilt again, there was still a period of time before the dawn of the day, and he could just sleep beautifully. But at this moment, the chaotic sound of fighting floated in at an inopportune time and floated into his eardrums, like a thunderbolt, blasting in his ears, blowing up Wu Yuanji's sleepiness without a trace.

Li Yu, you madman, you really appeared in Caizhou! There are only some old, weak, sick and disabled people left in Caizhou today, what can you do to fight with your tiger master? Li Yu, you are too inauthentic! I know I'm running out of time, but no matter what, you want me to have a New Year! Bullying people, too much bullying, rabbits are in a hurry and bite people, not to mention me, a generation of heroes Wu Yuanji! Even if you die, you will have to knock out a few teeth! Moreover, all around me are my people, as long as I can hold out until the reinforcements arrive, it will not be me Wu Yuanji who will die, but you Li Yu. So don't panic, I still have a chance, a lot of chances, as long as I hold on until reinforcements arrive! So, Wu Yuanji hurriedly led the remaining soldiers to hide in the inner city, ready to fight to the death.

Li Yu knew very well that the reason why Wu Yuanji was trapped in the beast was because he still had hope, and this hope was of course reinforcements, and all the nearby reinforcements belonged to Wu Yuanji's good son-in-law, Xiao General Dong Chongzhi. If you don't get rid of Dong Chongqian, you won't be able to deal with Wu Yuanji, and once the time drags on for too long, he and thousands of subordinates may really become dumpling fillings. So, how can we deal with Dong Chongqing? In fact, it is very simple, all it takes is a letter, a letter of persuasion.

After receiving Li Yu's letter of persuasion, Dong Chongzhi hesitated, only hesitated, and immediately rushed to Caizhou alone and fell down in front of Li Yu's horse. Because in that crucial letter, Li Yu had a promise, a promise that made Dong Chongzhen's heart flutter, and it was this promise that completely moved the arrogant Dong Chongzhen, because Li Yu's promise was that he could let him live. I'm sorry, father-in-law, we are gone, either I will accompany you to the Yellow Spring, or you will die, and I will live! Life is so good, I don't want to die yet, so, I have no choice! However, don't worry, after you leave, I will treat your daughter well. In this way, Wu Yuanji's good son-in-law, Wu Yuanji's biggest pillar, the instigator of Wu Yuanji's rebellion, and the obstructor of Wu Yuanji's return to the dynasty, resolutely chose to betray at the critical moment of life and death, just like Wu Yuanji betrayed Chang'an at the beginning, and now, Dong Chongzhi has also betrayed Wu Yuanji.

The arrival of Dong Chongzhi completely destroyed Wu Yuanji's only remaining hope, and also completely destroyed his fighting spirit, the matter has come to this point, resistance is meaningless, Wu Yuanji desperately gave up the knife and gun in his hand. Caizhou is finally completely in the hands of Li Yu, no, it should be said, it is in the hands of Chang'an.
