When the morning sun was born, it brought a golden light to the eastern capital.

In late autumn, the morning is still cold. The morning sun paved the ten-mile long street with golden hope, and Xiao Buyi looked at it from afar, and his heart was moved.

After arriving in the Eastern Capital, his somewhat indifferent blood always flowed with warmth from time to time.

It is true that war is cold-blooded, and there is no mercy on the battlefield. Forgiveness for the enemy is actually cruelty to his own subordinates, so on the battlefield, Xiao Buyi always spares no effort to defeat and kill the opponent. Sometimes, when others are on horses, when the spear is poked out, you can see the other party's expressions of survival, fear, and panic, but he has not relented. Those who stand in the way of his team must be eradicated, he has no choice!

But the war also touched him more, he saw more unknown soldiers forgetting their lives and deaths, saw more people without words of gratitude, and won the trust and love of countless people in the Eastern Capital, they may not be able to do anything, but just a wait, which can already give Xiao Buyi the motivation to fight.

The soldiers of the people are all spontaneous and conscious, which is not the same as the scale of Yang Guang's entry into the city, but when it comes to support, Yang Guang is far behind.

Yang Guang always sat in the shell and never touched the so-called grass people, but at this time, Xiao Buyi had already dismounted and walked over slowly.

He suddenly found that seeing King Yue was not in a hurry, and seeing Lu Chu was not in a hurry, walking over from the long street was already the most important thing in his life.

Seeing Xiao Buyi dismount, more people knelt down, and even some old people were already crying bitterly, because words could no longer express the gratitude in their hearts, perhaps only the tears in their hearts could express their gratitude.

Xiao Buyi stretched out his hand to pick up a white-haired old man, and said softly: "Old man, you have worked hard. ”

The old man burst into tears with excitement, and said in a trembling voice: "General Xiao's words are serious, what kind of hard work we have." In fact, the news of your victory came early, we don't know what to do, all we can do is wait, hoping to see General Xiao. We want to tell General Xiao that the people of the Eastern Capital are grateful to General Xiao and to General Xiao for everything he has done for us......"

He was a little silent, Xiao Buyi supported the old man, looked at the eyes of the soldiers, and suddenly raised his voice: "If you want to thank you, it should be me who thanks you." If there is no support from you, how can Xiao lead the army to the battle, if there is no support from you, it will not be possible to return to Luocang, only with your selfless support, the soldiers can give up their lives and forget death, to say gratitude, Xiao wants to thank you...... Thank you for casting the Great Wall that soldiers rely on for the Eastern Capital! ”

The louder he spoke, the louder he became, stirring in the outer city of the Eastern Capital, and the people burst into tears again, when someone suddenly whispered: "It's just a fame and reputation!" ”

**

Although the man said lightly, it was so out of place in the early morning of late autumn that many people did not hear it clearly, Xiao Buyi had strong ears, and when he squinted, he saw a person with a stubble beard, his eyes were deep, and his expression was full of decadence. He stood there swaying, still carrying a wine gourd in his hand, looking at Xiao Buyi with some disdain.

The man was talking to himself, but he didn't expect Xiao Buyi to look over, slightly stunned, mixed with some excitement, and when he saw Xiao Buyi, he looked away again, somewhat lost.

Xiao Buyi didn't pay attention to it, but said to the bat beside him: "Follow the man who carried the wine gourd and see where he lives." ”

The bat nodded and left Xiao Buyi, but Xiao Buyi walked straight along the long street. Along the way, the people gathered more and more, there were incense burners and prayers, some knelt down to greet each other, Xiao Buyi helped them up one by one, and said a few words from time to time.

Seeing that Xiao Buyi hadn't even walked a square or two, the Huya Lang general next to him finally couldn't help but say loudly: "Father, fellow villagers, General Xiao knows your love, but he still has official business, please talk about it later, I don't know what you think?" ”

As soon as Shu Zhanwei's words came out, everyone responded violently, and they all dodged and retreated to the side, Xiao Buyi turned over and got on the horse, and galloped towards Dongcheng with everyone. Along the way, the people are still endless, and Xiao Buyi waved his hand, but he had already arrived in front of Dongcheng.

In the past, the city gate of the east city was closed, but now it is different from the past, the east city has long been opened, the flag is displayed, the colorful flag is fluttering, the king of Yue and the ministers actually go out of the east city to greet each other personally. When Xiao Buyi saw it, he dismounted from a distance and stepped forward quickly.

The face is given by others, but the face is lost by himself, King Yue is so courteous, he gives Xiao Buyi enough face, of course Xiao Buyi will not cut King Yue's face.

The two of them saluted each other, and they were polite, and then they walked into the east city hand in hand, and the people saw it from afar, and they were all talking. Some people say that the king of Yue can personally go out of the east city to greet him, but General Xiao is the first. Some people say that General Xiao won all battles and defended the eastern capital by himself, and King Yue's courtesy was still lighter. Some talked about the battle of Beibi Mountain, and heard that General Xiao was about to lose at the moment of crisis, but suddenly Huanglong and Heilong appeared to protect the lord and defeated the Wagang army, this General Xiao ...... Maybe it's the real thing. Although he did not personally see the situation on the battlefield at that time, he said it vividly and vividly. Originally, this kind of talk was a crime of beheading, but now the common people know that General Xiao is now the largest in the Eastern Capital, and it seems that it is a matter of time before he becomes the emperor, so it should be okay to say this.

The speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional, and the down-and-out man mingled with the crowd, pouring wine in a sip and just shaking his head. But although he was downcast and uninhibited, he also knew that it was not Xiao Buyi who said it at this time, and most of them were beaten to death by the people on the street!

The people were very angry, and the consequences were very serious, and he was just depressed, and he couldn't fight with them.

It sounds boring, and the down-and-out people are swaying around the inn. The man sat down and tried to drink, but there was not a drop of wine in the gourd, so he got up and asked for a drink, and the man had pushed the door and walked in.

Originally, this kind of behavior was quite rude, but the guy seemed to be commonplace.

Seeing the down-and-out person, the guy didn't even bother to offer a smile, and asked coldly, "Ma Gongzi, the boss asked me to ask you, when will the money for this stay in the hotel be paid?" ”

The down-and-out man looked embarrassed, "Please...... A few more grace days. ”

The guy sighed and said: "Ma Gongzi, it's been half a month, our inn is settled every three days, if you don't pay the bill, we all have to drink the northwest wind." ”

The destitute man stretched out his hand and took it out of his bosom for a long time, but he could not take it out with one hand. Seeing the world, the man sneered: "Ma Gongzi, you don't have to be so pretentious every time...... He walked straight to the bed and picked up Ma Gongzi's package. Ma Gongzi was surprised and asked, "Man, what are you doing?" ”

"Our boss said that we will give Ma Gongzi another three days, if we can't come up with the money for the hotel, we will only handle the luggage for Ma Gongzi."

After the guy finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the room, and Ma Gongzi wanted to stop him, but he retracted his hand. The guy walked out proudly and ran into the boss, who asked in a low voice, "Did you get the thing?" ”

The guy smiled, "Take it, boss, he should have money." ”

"It should be, how can you still drink without money?" The boss smiled, holding the package like a baby.

Ma Gongzi listened to it in his room, and sighed to the sky, "I didn't expect that my Ma Zhou prides himself on being talented, but he is so down!" ”

He only cared about feeling sorry for himself, but he didn't know that the shopkeeper took the package back to the room, but handed it over to a person.

The man looked like a bat, but he was wearing an official uniform, and the shopkeeper didn't dare to offend when he saw Bi Gong, because he knew that this person was General Xiao's subordinate!

The bat asked, "Can you unwrap the package and see?" ”

The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly, "Of course, this poor ghost owes me half a month's house money, don't talk about it, even if you take it, it's not a problem." But sir, we are just an inn, and we don't know the details of this person, if he has anything to do with the crime department, it has nothing to do with us. ”

The shopkeeper was anxious to clear up his relationship, and secretly thought that General Xiao asked his subordinates to check the details of this person, could this person be some kind of evil destroyer?

The bat unwrapped the package, and saw that it was nothing more than manuscripts except for a few torn clothes, and he couldn't get the essentials for a long time. He wrapped it up and said, "I'll take it back and take a look, and send it back in three days." The rest, you know how to deal with it. ”

The shopkeeper nodded and said, "Official, there's no problem, you go slowly." "Sent the bat away, the shopkeeper asked a guy to keep an eye on that Ma Zhou, but he was afraid that he would run away and affect the inn, but he thought in his heart, this Ma Zhou is just poor and sour, and it seems that he is powerless, General Xiao actually sent someone to investigate, but he doesn't know what the origin is?

**

In the early morning, when Luoyang was boiling, Liyang City was busy.

Li Jing sat in the mansion, just staring at a huge map on the table. The mountains and rivers on the map are all drawn clearly, and there is a little red mark in the middle, which is marked with the location of Liyang City.

He hadn't closed his eyes all night, but he didn't look tired.

Fingers lightly tapped the pattern on the table, and Li Jing pondered something. Someone hurriedly rushed to report, "General Li, Chen Juncheng and Vice General Qi have conquered Liyangcang and expelled the bandits there, and are now repairing Liyangcang as planned." In case Wagang comes to attack. ”

The person who is gifted is Fang Wuregret.

It turned out that after Li Jing went south from Taiyuan, he had been stationed in Changping and Hanoi, hiding and not moving, but echoing with Xiao Buyi's eastern capital and exchanging information.

Although Wagang is a powerful force, it has few plans to cross the river to expand its territory, and although there are thieves who continue to cross the river to disturb them, they dare not leave Luokoucang. Hanoi Tong Shou Meng Shanyi and Chang Binh Tong Shou Yin Shanda are all sticking to the city and ensuring local peace for a while.

Li Mi has always tried his best to fight against Xiangyang and Dongdu, and he can't take care of Changping and Hanoi for a while.

Li Jing entered the two places as the deputy left-behind guard of Taiyuan, Meng Shanyi and Yin Shanda were both haggard, only felt that one side was not safe, and was very anxious.

Of course, there are also people who have doubts, but doubts are useless, Li Jing is thousands of elites, and the military power is in hand, no one dares to question it. After occupying Changping and Hanoi, Li Jing seized the time to train his troops, and the war horses from the cottages and grasslands were endlessly transported to Changping. Li Mi was bent on a duel with Xiao Buyi, but he didn't expect that on the other side of the Yellow River, there was already a tiger ready to attack under the mountain.

Xiao Buyi's rapid entry into the Dongdu was beyond Li Jing's expectations, but this also made it more convenient for Li Jing to act.

Xiao Buyi monopolized the power in the east, and after being respected by the king of Yue, the news had already spread to both sides of the Yellow River, and all the counties were in high spirits, and they saw hope to some extent.

Since Yang Guang went down to the south of the Yangtze River, the king of Yue took charge of the eastern capital, and the emperor Fu Wuyi monopolized the power, the eastern capital is not as good as the other, and there is no time to take care of other regions, and the surrounding counties are mainly self-preservation.

Xiao Buyi had already issued a secret order, asking Meng Shanyi, Yin Shanda and others to obey Li Jing's dispatch, and now they got the instructions from Dongdu, and the only doubts in their hearts were thrown out of the clouds, and they were greatly excited.

After Li Jing received the support of these two, he secretly recruited soldiers for training, but he thoroughly studied the defense of Liyang City early, stepped up the production of siege equipment, and quietly transported it to Jun County, southwest of Liyang City.

Wang Ruxin only knows how to drink and have fun, Yuan Baobao and Zheng Yi only know how to defend the city, after hearing the alliance between Wagang and Dou Jiande, he relaxed his mind, where did he think that Hanoi, which had not moved, would send a large army to attack, even if he fled for his life, he was still thinking about whether Dou Jiande unilaterally broke the contract to attack, but he didn't know that Li Jing had been planning for a long time.

Li Jing transported the iron cavalry elite soldiers to Xiao Buyi's command, and when the siege equipment was ready, he led the soldiers and horses to Liyang in person, he led the army day and night, and rushed overnight, at this time Li Mi was attracted by the movement of the eastern capital, and made every effort to make a plan to attack Luoyang, and guarded Luokoucang with heavy troops to prevent Xiao Buyi from sneaking attack, where could he have thought that Xiao Buyi and strange soldiers attacked from the other side of the Yellow River, and the target was not Luokoucang, but Liyangcang, the rear of Wagang!

The soldiers are fast and surprisingly victorious, Li Jing has always been like this with soldiers! He trained an iron army with strict military discipline and created a miracle, silently pressing on Liyang!

After Li Jing arrived near Jun County in the middle of the night, he ordered the army to rest for a while, and at dawn ordered the whole army to rush to Liyang and attack on three sides, but left the eastern city gate.

In fact, the armies on the north and south sides also feint, just to create pressure on the defenders of Liyang, and as for the eastern city gate, it is also a ploy to deliberately set aside not to fight. The dog is anxious to jump over the wall, the rabbit is anxious to bite people, if they don't give the Wagang people a way to live, they fight to the death, and it will inevitably cause great resistance to the siege, Li Jing left a way for the Wagang people, just to reduce the resistance of the siege.

As Li Jing expected, under the non-stop and serial attack of the siege army, the Wagang people finally collapsed, Yuan Baobao and Zheng Yi took the lead in fleeing for their lives, and the main general left, the ice and snow of the Wagang people melted, and they were self-defeating, and Li Jing successfully took Liyang City, but he was not complacent, and immediately went to attack Liyang Cang according to the predetermined plan.

All the plans have been in place a long time ago, and what is needed now is a strict execution plan.

This time, Li Jing didn't go in person, because Liyang still needed him to sit in town, and the generals he sent were Chen Xiaoyi and Qi Luo!

Chen Xiaoyi was originally a Yanmen Juncheng, but Qi Luo was a Fengcheng lieutenant of Ma Yi, and he was originally Li Jing's subordinate. Xiao Buyi has a firm memory of meeting talented people, and when he fought in Yanmen, he recorded that Qi Luo, Chen Xiaoyi and Wang Zhibian were quite talented, which made Fang Wuregret to invite. Qi Luo followed without hesitation, and then went to Yanmen to invite Chen Xiaoyi and Wang Zhibian. It's just that the two of them are still a little hesitant about whether to join Xiao Buyi, and Qi Luo returned in vain.

But the world was turbulent, Yanmen was soon attacked by Liu Wuzhou, under the heavy attack of Liu Wuzhou, Wang Zhizhi attacked the troops, but was booby-trapped by Liu Wuzhou, Chen Xiaoyi stuck to Yanmen City, but there was some remorse. Xiao Buyi is far away in the eastern capital, of course, he has no time to take care of Yanmen. Chen Xiaoyi was betrayed by his subordinate Zhang Lun, stabbed from the back to the chest, faked his death, Zhang Lun went out to welcome Liu Wuzhou into the city, Fang had no regrets but still did not give up, snatched Chen Xiaoyi's body out, and told Xiao Buyi the news of this side. Unexpectedly, Chen Xiaoyi's life should not be extinguished, and then he miraculously turned around, so he and Qi Luo left Yanmen and went south to seek refuge in Xiao Buyi.

Xiao Buyi sat in the eastern capital and kept in touch with Li Jing, so he assigned Chen Xiaoyi and Qi Luo to Li Jing to dispatch.

Chen Xiaoyi, as a county commander of Yanmen, certainly has rich experience in defending the city, and of course he is also good at attacking the city, and Qi Luo has also been tested in Mayi and has rich experience. Although this attack on Liyang was fully formulated by Li Jing, it was Chen Xiaoyi and Qi Luo who carried it out.

The two lived up to the trust, and under the careful arrangement, they conquered Liyang City, Li Jing immediately ordered the two to attack Liyang Cang with all their strength to prepare for storage, and the two led troops to attack non-stop, attacked Liyang Cang overnight, and expelled the bandits there.

Now Li Jing has been plotting for several months, but he has seized Liyang City and Liyang Cang in only one day and one night, strangled the main roads of the Yellow River and Yongji Canal, and pinned Wagang in the middle of Henan, unable to develop to Hebei and Shandong.

Hearing that Li Yangcang was defeated, Li Jing nodded slowly and said, "What about Wang Ruxin?" Did you wake up? ”

"I woke up a long time ago, and I actually woke up last night." Fang Wuregret laughed, "He kept asking who caught him last night, and it was also funny. ”

"Bring him to me." Li Jing said in a deep voice.

It turned out that when Li Jing attacked Liyang, he had already set fire to Liyang in an ambush, and Yuan Baobao and Zheng Yi fled for their lives alone. Wang Ruxin was drunk, and he didn't listen to the persuasion of others, so he fell asleep soundly. As a result, everyone scrambled to flee for their lives, and when Liyang City was overcome, they were still asleep, but they were caught by Li Jing's troops.

When Wang Ruxin was captured, he couldn't believe that Liyang was defeated, and when he learned that he had really become a prisoner of the subordinates, he had already woken up in fright, and hurriedly asked who had conquered Liyang City, ready to abandon the darkness and turn to the light.

The soldiers escorted Wang Ruxin in, Wang Ruxin's eyes kept rolling, and when he saw Li Jing sitting on the main seat, he lost his voice and said: "The person on the seat is General Li?" ”

He had an inexplicable expression of excitement on his face, he only hated being tied up with five flowers, and he couldn't dance to express the excitement in his heart.

Li Jing was slightly stunned, "Do you know me?" ”

Wang Ruxin hurriedly said: "We have already treated Li ...... The general admired for a long time. At the beginning, General Li only led hundreds of soldiers to destroy thousands of bandits in Wagang, so that Shan Xiongxin, Xu Shiji and others returned in vain. At the beginning, Xu Shiji painted a portrait of Master Li, and when I saw it, I was shocked that I was a god, and I always remembered it in my heart. I can see it today, and I am really fortunate to have three lives. If General Li had said that he would have attacked the city, he would have offered it with both hands, so why would General Lao come and take it? ”

Wang Ruxin's words were actually nonsense, he was in detention for one night, and finally asked who captured him, and he had already thought of the wording to survive. Although he said it shamelessly, he felt a little blushing, but when he thought that his surname was at stake, what did it matter if he endured humiliation?

"So, that's my mistake?" Li Jing's face sank like water.

Wang Ruxin was startled, and his head shook like a rattle, "How dare I say that the general is not, it's just that I want to say that I respect the general." ”

"Untie him." Li Jing commanded.

The soldiers did not hesitate to carry out the order, Wang Ruxin was at a loss for a while, Li Jing waved his hand and said, "Wang Sima, please sit down." ”

Wang Ruxin felt that the first results of the sycophant shoot were successful, and he was overjoyed, half of his butt was on the chair, and he said modestly: "There is a general here, and there is no seat for us." It's just that the general commanded, and he didn't dare to disobey. ”

"I'm not a general, I'm the deputy left-behind guard of Taiyuan." Li Jing groaned.

Wang Ruxin hurriedly changed his words and said: "It turns out that the left-behind adults have done their best for the Great Sui, and we admire it. This Liyang City was originally the city of the Great Sui, General Li ...... No, it was Li who stayed behind to take it, which is really fair. ”

"But I'm being demoted now, but I'm doing things for General Xiao Buyi." Li Jing said lightly.

Wang Ruxin's eyes rolled sharply, calculating the relationship, "That...... General Shaw...... I've also admired the name for a long time, Li ...... It is fortunate that the Lord did the truth under General Xiao, the Great Sui is corrupt, and Lord Li is revolting, which is really gratifying. ”

"But I came down to attack Liyang City on the orders of the imperial court." Li Jing said again.

Wang Ruxin's head hurt a little, and he couldn't understand the complicated relationship between them, and finally said: "Liyang was originally an ownerless thing, and the virtuous lived in it, and Master Li was a virtuous person." ”

"Actually, I have admired Zhai Dangjia for a long time." Li Jing finally smiled a little.

Wang Ruxin said secretly, you will never take the Liyang of Wagang as a congratulatory gift to join Wagang, seeing that Li Jing was silent, Wang Ruxin could only say: "Zhai Da is in charge...... This fame is also there. ”

"Fame is a good thing, but if you use fame to do evil, it is not tolerated." Li Jing's face was gloomy again.

Wang Ruxin said: "Actually, I was also forced...... Checkmate...... Please give me a chance. ”

Li Jingchang sighed, "Now that Wagang is in turmoil, General Xiao is worried. When he uprooted Wagang, it was actually a good intention for Wagang. ”

"That's ...... Is that. Wang Ruxin could only nod.

"General Xiao once met the owner of Zhai Rang, but in fact, he was also forced to be helpless." Li Jing said again: "He just wants to ask Wang Sima to convey a word to the master of Zhai Village......

When Wang Ruxin heard that he had the intention of releasing him, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Lord Li, please say, I will do my best to tell him." ”

Li Jing pondered for a moment, "The smoke is everywhere here, of course, there is also the reason for the smoke, now the people are thinking of peace, General Xiao has an order, if Zhai Dangjia can persuade Wagang to abandon the dark and surrender to the light, and return to General Xiao, he can avoid death." ”

Wang Ruxin blinked, "That's all?" ”

Li Jing nodded and said, "Yes, that's it, I hope Wang Sima will convey it." Without regrets, he took someone to send Wang Sima out of the city and gave him a horse. ”

Wang Ru believed that Rao was deceitful, and it was also unexpected, but he didn't dare to cause more trouble, so he didn't ask much.

Fang Wuregret was stunned, obviously he didn't expect Li Jing to let Wang Ruxin go easily, but he still obeyed the order and escorted Wang Ruxin out of the city. Wang Ruxin rode on a horse, like falling into the fog, Rao experienced strong winds and waves, but it was the first time to escape death like this.

Out of the city, convinced that no one was following him, Wang Ruxin urged the horse to gallop wildly, and went in the direction of the Yellow River crossing.

Fang Wuregret sent Wang Ruxin out of the city, and after turning around, he asked a little puzzled: "General Li, do you want to chase him back?" ”

"Who are you chasing?" Li Jing asked casually, still staring at the map on the desktop, but this time the map was changed, there was a red dot on it, but it was marked with the word Xijing!

"Wang Ruxin, if you don't chase it, I'm afraid you won't be able to catch up." Fang Wuregret only thought that Li Jing was playing a game of cat and mouse.

Li Jing finally raised his head and smiled, "Wang Ruxin is spineless, capricious, and untrustworthy. It is much more useful to let him go than to kill him. Wang Ruxin turned back to Wagang this time, and I believe that in the near future, there will be a good show. ”

Fang Wuregret blinked, as if he understood or not, a herald walked into the mansion quickly, handed over the document and said, "General, there is a military situation." ”

Li Jing took the military document and looked at it, his brows furrowed slightly, and the top of the military document read, "Li Yuan's army has crossed the Yellow River and is stationed in Weibei, so he will go south to cross Weishui and take Xijing!" ’

Li Jing accepted the paperwork, his eyes fell on the map on the table, and muttered to himself: "If it were me, I should divide the army into three routes, fight the wind, Kexinfeng should be stationed on the ba, and take Yongfeng, although Li Yuan is hypocritical, but he is scheming and calculating, and he is not bad at using troops, it should be the same, right?" ”

**

Li Yuan finally raised his eyebrows at this time.

In fact, since his departure from the Bird Valley, his march has been smooth.

Shanxi this place, he is really familiar with it can no longer be familiar, the efforts of the past few years have not been in vain, and most of the counties and counties along the south of Taiyuan are responding to Yuncong.

From only 30,000 troops at the beginning, to more than 100,000 troops now, and they are constantly growing, which shows that he Li Yuan is deeply popular.

Every time he thought of this, Li Yuan felt a little proud in his heart, but when he thought of Dongdu, his heart was like a thorn. He actually has news on the side of the Eastern Capital, although he has no plans to make enemies with Xiao Buyi for the time being, but this does not prevent him from listening to Xiao Buyi's news.

He knew that the real enemy in his life was not Xijing in front of him, but Xiao Buyi who sat in the eastern capital!

The current relationship between him and Xiao Buyi is simpler, just like many old husbands and wives who have been together for many years, boring but having to maintain a little warmth, because there are too many factors in reality, and years of reason and entanglement make them unable to turn their faces immediately. But if you really turn your face, it will be more difficult than covering the water and recovering it!

If the two face off immediately, they will lose both, let the fisherman benefit, and finally lose the capital to compete for the world at the same time. For this, Li Yuan understands, and what Li Yuan knows better is that Xiao Buyi must also understand.

He and Xiao Buyi have actually been racing against the speed of expansion, maintaining a delicate balance.

Xiao Buyi's intentions have now been revealed, he tried his best to solve the big trouble in his heart, Li Mi, based on Xiangyang and Dongdu to plot the world, and his early goal has been half successful. Of course, his Li Yuan's purpose is to rely on his own years of accumulation, occupy Guanzhong, and then plot the world according to Guanzhong.

Now he has a psychological advantage that the four dynasties of Zhou, Qin, Han, and Sui all prospered because of Guanzhong, and he, Li Yuan, may also prosper because of this.

Xiao Buyi seized the time, saw the seams, and always occupied the most favorable situation at the most critical time, but he, Li Yuan, wanted to seize the geographical advantage, and occupied the most favorable terrain with the land of Sisai. As for Hema, that is the capital that the two have been trying their best to win, and it is directly related to the outcome of the duel between the two in the future.

In the past few months, he has sealed thousands of official positions, but he is not worried, and he will talk about it later. Now whether it is a bandit or a Sui official, he Li Yuan Kuangfu Sui Room is welcomed with both hands, looking at the south bank of Weishui, where Xijing is located, Li Yuan sighed lightly, occupying Xijing, it seems that it is only a matter of time.

It's just that there is Qu Tutong in the east of the river to guard, Tongguan is also in the hands of the Sui army, he detoured to cross the river, this battle must be won, conquer Xijing, Qu Tutong is not afraid, but if it is lost, it is attacked by Xijing, Tongguan and Hedong three roads, and the army is in danger.

As for the prophecy of Taiping Dao, he Li Yuan should be a fart, because Taiping Dao always likes to do some ambiguous things and launch the so-called mysterious heavenly machine, but in his Li Yuan's eyes, it is funny.

If the heavenly machine is really accurate, the Taiping Dao has been very prosperous in the past four hundred years, how can it be in decline today? However, every time he thought of the prophecy that the Li family should be the Son of Heaven, Li Yuan was shocked.

Everyone in front of the tent was very excited, Li Yuan's eyes swept over everyone's faces, coughed lightly, and the big tent was silent, waiting for the general to speak.

The discussion has been decided, and Li Yuan is now officially announcing the news of the march.

"Now our army crosses the Yellow River from Longmen and Hukou bypass, morale is flourishing, and countless righteous troops have come to attach, which shows that our benevolent and righteous army has won the trust of the people of the world. After that, Hancheng, Fengyi, Chaoyi and other counties came to surrender, which showed that our army won the hearts of the people......"

Everyone nodded, knowing which Sun Taishou was. Sun Taishou is Sun Hua, in fact, he was originally the strongest bandit in Guanzhong, and after knowing that Li Yuan went south, he personally crossed the Yellow River to meet Li Yuan and asked to be the vanguard, which greatly encouraged people. Li Yuan knew that Sun Hua was secretly sent by Li Shimin to say that he would surrender, and he came to rely on him to encourage the army. He named Sun Hua Feng Yi Taishou, and the meritorious people under him could be awarded official positions by Sun Hua, which greatly touched the group of thieves in Guanzhong, and thus recruited many bandits to join.

Shimin and Jiancheng are their right-hand men, Li Yuan thought with relief.

"Now that our army is in full swing, we should seek victory with one drum and go to the side of Qingjun in Chang'an to save the common people." Li Yuan said awe-inspiringly: "Li Jiancheng, the governor of the left leading army, listens to the order. ”

"The subordinates are here." Li Jiancheng paced out calmly. The brutality of war has also led to the rapid growth of those who have been caught in it. Li Jiancheng has always followed his father's side, and he can be regarded as having been in contact with the battle, so he did not panic. In the process of advancing all the way south, he commanded Ruoding when he took the Xihe, attacked Huoyi, Xiajiang County and other battles, and unswervingly implemented the strategy formulated by Li Yuan, and already had the style of a general, which was even praised by Li Yuan.

"I ordered you to lead your troops all the way across the Weishui River to take Yongfeng Cang, this move is very important, do you know?"

Li Jiancheng said in a deep voice: "My subordinates know that if they take Yongfeng Cang, not only will the army have food guaranteed, but they will also be able to guard against the soldiers of the East and the Sui army from fleeing eastward, killing three birds with one stone." ”

Li Yuan nodded with satisfaction, he deliberately asked like this, just to establish Li Jiancheng's position in the minds of his subordinates.

"Now that you know, I will order you to be the mainstay, supplemented by Liu Sima, Wang Tongjun, and Chen Changshi, and take 20,000 elite soldiers to take Yongfeng Cang, and this battle will be won but not defeated, do you understand?" Liu Sima is Liu Wenjing, Wang Tongjun is Wang Changhuan, Chen Changshi is Chen Yanshou, all three of them are experienced and experienced in combat, except for Liu Wenjing, they can be regarded as Li Yuan's investigation for a long time. With them assisting Li Jiancheng to guard the border pass, Li Yuan had already thought about it carefully.

Li Jiancheng nodded firmly and said: "The child understands, if you don't conquer Yongfengcang, come back and see you!" ”

Li Yuan nodded, but he didn't think that Li Jiancheng was praising Haikou, and even had some praise. In fact, this battle was won without sending troops, and he had already received a secret letter from Huayin Ling Li Xiaochang, wanting to surrender with Yongfengcang. Li Jiancheng's soldiers were actually mainly to fight against Qu Tutong and Tongguan's troops, but he said these to Jiancheng, but he couldn't say them to others for the time being, because saying them would have a less shocking effect, and it would make Li Jiancheng's promise much weaker.

Li Jiancheng's military order was written, and everyone admired it again, mixed with excitement, and sent troops to win!

"Li Shimin, the governor of the right leading army, listens to the order." Li Yuan shouted again.

Li Shimin walked out slowly, "My subordinates are here." "He, like his eldest brother, has also experienced several battles, especially when attacking Huoyi, he fought hard to take the lead, and now he is less impetuous and more calm.

"I ordered you to be the mainstay, supplemented by Yin Changshi, Tang Sima, and Liu Tongjun, and led the troops all the way southwest to take Jingyang, and after taking Jingyang, let Liu Tongjun divide his troops all the way to Fufeng, if he wins, stand by in place, and when my father leads the army to conquer Xinfeng and garrison Bashang, we will attack Xijing in three ways, and we must not violate." Yin Changshi is Yin Kaishan, Tang Sima is Tang Jian, and Liu Tongjun is Liu Hongji. What Li Yuan is most worried about is Li Shimin's impetuous and rapid advance, which is a taboo for soldiers, and there is no accident with the assistance of Yin Kaishan and Tang Jian, two experienced and important ministers. As for hitting the wind, with Liu Hongji, a brave general, it should be fine.

Li Shimin didn't say much this time, but said respectfully: "Subordinates listen to orders, do their best, and live up to the general's trust." ”

Li Yuan breathed a long sigh of relief, he had also planned this battle for a long time, and it was just expected that taking Yongfeng, Hitting Fufeng, and Ke Xinfeng was the most important three moves to capture Xijing. In addition to attacking the city along the way, gradually establishing the prestige of his second son is also something he has to consider.

Li Shimin walked out of the tent, a trace of pride surged in his heart, all the way south made him feel a lot more open, at least the depressing life in the past is gone, their Li family can do their own things!

Before he turned the camp, a person came out and grabbed Li Shimin's hand. Li Shimin was surprised and delighted, and laughed: "Wuji, are you here?" I'm thinking about you, what's going on with my sister? ”

The person who came out of the tent was the eldest grandson Wuji, he was full of spring breeze, and he was also excited to see Li Shimin.

They have been friends since childhood, and the eldest grandson's family has always secretly made suggestions for the Li family, and they have also contributed to the uprising. The eldest grandson Wuji and the eldest grandson Shunde went to the eastern capital to rescue the Li family's family, but after the matter was completed, they went to Sizhuyuan in the south of Xijing.

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Sister Ling, everything is going well, but I came here today to recommend someone to you." ”

"Who is it?" Li Shimin asked curiously, "The person you fancy is definitely not a mediocre talent." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji smiled and said: "Not only is it not a mediocre talent, but in my opinion, there is also a talent of Zhang Liang." ”

"Okay, you're a Mowgli, tell me quickly, which one is it?" Li Shimin couldn't wait.

After the eldest grandson Wuji chuckled, he said word for word: "This person is called, Fang, Xuan, and Ling!" ”
