The soldiers' transformation from chaos to order is only a fleeting moment, and the bandits' transformation from planning to panic is also a matter of moments. The change in the middle is just because of a Xiao Buyi.

Tongyuan Market is in flames, the people are panicked, and the soldiers are headless like flies, the key is the lack of people who stabilize the morale of the army. The bandits deliberately came under the planning to encircle the eastern capital in all directions, and the inside and outside should be combined, and for a time the eastern capital was full of soldiers. Although Shu Zhanwei is brave, he is just a general, but he lacks fame, he can't fight, and he is led by the nose by the cunning Meng Rang, and he makes a mess of Tongyuan City. But Meng Rang never dreamed that he could hide from the first year of junior high school, but he couldn't hide from the fifteenth. At the beginning, he hid from Pei Xingyan's army, but now he is in the hands of Xiao Buyi, who has died.

When the robbers saw that the Lord was about to die, they were in a sign of chaos. Some people urged their horses to come and take revenge, and some people tried to flee for their lives...... Xiao Buyi was on the horse, but he just shouted, stretched his might and urged the horse to come, the soldiers galloped over, and the people no longer fled and gathered in this direction.

Their parents, wives and children are in the Eastern Capital, and they must not allow bandits to run rampant. Xiao Buyi's words made them find the root of the struggle for their lives.

Xiao Buyi was on the horse, full of pride, and when he saw Shu Zhanwei coming, he stretched out his hand and shouted: "Bring the bow and arrow." ”

Shu Zhanwei did not hesitate, threw a longbow and two quivers, Xiao Buyi reached out and grabbed them, hung the quiver on the saddle, reached out and grabbed them, and had already drawn out four long arrows.

Two bandits rode forward, neighing and roaring like wild beasts, wielding a saber and a spear in their hands.

Xiao Buyi's legs were clamped, the horse neighed forward, he immediately pulled his bow and arrows, and shouted: "The rats are killed!" He shouted together, the bow was like a full moon, and the arrow went to a shooting star. There was a loud 'snort', and the long arrow pierced the bandit's throat and went out. A fountain of blood erupted from the necks of the two bandits, and they turned over and fell off their horses. Xiao Buyi's other two arrows were taken by the two robbers who fled for their lives, and the two of them never dreamed that disaster would fall from the sky, and they didn't have the idea of dodging, but they were pierced through the back by a long arrow and fell to the ground.

"Follow me." At this moment, in addition to stretching his might, Xiao Buyi had gathered dozens of officers and soldiers and ordinary people, and when he saw that everyone was gathering more and more, he urged the horse forward. His method of bowing and four arrows is miraculous, killing people is neat and shocking, just like the demeanor of the bearded guest back then, the officers and soldiers of the people are as respectful as heavens, and the crowd is excited, but the bandits are like ghosts, and they are frightened.

But after all, the bandits who dared to enter the eastern capital to loot were all outlaws, and they would not be afraid easily, and several people rushed up with a roar, but the target was Xiao Buyi. Shu Zhanwei shouted: "Protect General Xiao!" Some soldiers had already stepped forward to resist with guns, but Xiao Buyi ignored the bandits who were close to him, and four arrows flew out in turn, shooting four bandits from afar.

When the people saw Xiao Buyi on the horse, he was calm and peerless, and in an instant, he had already killed the bandit leader Meng Rang and shot eight bandits, and they couldn't help shouting in unison, "General Xiao!" ”

With the people shouting in unison, Xiao Buyi's long arrow shot again, and in an instant, four more bandits fell to the ground.

He shot an arrow to kill people like killing chickens, and the robbers saw it from afar, and finally showed a frightened look, they could fight hard, but when they encountered such an invincible person, they still didn't want to die.

"General Xiao...... General Xiao Da...... Kill! ”

The shouts of the people spread earth-shatteringly, and Xiao Buyi's heart was boiling at that moment, and he shot four more arrows, and hit four more people!

"General Xiao...... General Xiao Da...... Kill again! ”

At that moment, the people of Dongdu who gathered from all directions seemed to be burning, shouting hoarsely, and following with fire-breathing eyes, although they were bare-handed, they felt unstoppable behind Xiao Buyi!

There were hundreds of bandits, who were originally galloping across the country and could not be resisted, but the people and soldiers followed behind Xiao Buyi, and they had become a human wall.

Xiao Buyi shot two more rounds in an instant, shooting and killing twenty-four bandits, and the people who followed him were already boiling with emotion, and their fighting spirit was high, and they roared: "General Xiao...... General Xiao Da...... Kill, kill, kill!! ”

The people poured up, and the bandits couldn't help but retreat, although the number was still similar, but the momentum was far behind, and they found that the people who had always thought it was fish and meat were angry, like a volcanic earthquake, irresistible.

The soldiers were also enthusiastic, and they had already killed the bandits who rushed in, and the bandits who rushed to Xiao Buyi had not even reached Xiao Buyi's side.

Xiao Buyi wanted to kill again, but when he took the feather arrow again, he found that the long arrow was gone.

His shooting method is domineering and incoherent, but it is also extremely wasteful to use, Shu Zhanwei is not good at bows and arrows, although he brought bows and arrows, but the two bags of long arrows only contained twenty-four long arrows, Xiao Buyi killed twenty-four bandits in a row, just used up.

Seeing the people roaring, Xiao Buyi stretched out his hand and pointed forward, and shouted: "Protect the family and defend the country, the true colors of a man ......"

He drank out of his inner strength, although the scene was extremely chaotic, everyone heard it clearly, and the people were quiet for a moment, but Xiao Buyi had already shouted: "Dongdu Erlang, show your true colors, it's time for the rats to see your anger!" Rush over and kill them without leaving a piece of armor behind! ”

Before his voice fell, Shu Zhanwei had already followed and shouted: "General Xiao has an order, rush!" ”

Shu Zhanwei rushed out first, the officers and soldiers rushed out, and the people also rushed out. The roaring crowd turned into ferocious beasts, and rushed towards the bandits like a stormy wave, leaving Xiao Buyi to the end.

The soldiers and civilians gathered more and more, stabbing with guns, slashing with knives, using fists, biting with teeth, and some even rushed up with a flower pot and beat them, and the robbers were already surrounded by a lot in a moment, howling and screaming for help. They never dreamed that the meek people would resist more ferociously than tigers, and more vicious than jackals!

But where will the angry crowd show mercy, pick up something casually, slap it with a wooden plank, beat it with an iron rod, and step on it with their feet, and hundreds of bandits are surrounded by it, miserable, and running around.

Xiao Buyi looked at the surging and angry people and knew that he didn't need to do it himself.

Assassinating Meng Rang, shooting bandits, and killing twenty-five people in a row, he rarely had such a big killing, but it didn't make him feel the slightest tiredness, on the contrary, the essence in his body flowed, and he was eager to try. Knowing that this anger cannot be extinguished at this moment, it must continue to burn, burning through Tongyuan City, burning the Eastern Capital, and burning all over the Central Plains.

He must not give up halfway, he has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, and he must become bigger and stronger. Suddenly I thought of something, turned my head to look in the direction of the flower garden, only to see scattered petals, full of loneliness, only fragrant as before. After the woman in black killed the two, she didn't move again, and there was a pot of Luoyang red in front of her, but it was intact.

She stood in front of Luoyang Hong, the bewitching firelight, the delicate beauty of Luoyang Red could not be stopped, and she was indifferent in her bones. She is indifferent to the pride and passion in front of her, and even in her opinion, some people's lives can't even resist a pot of Luoyang red!

There was no time to ponder the thoughts of the woman in black, Xiao Buyi knew that he had to move on. Hundreds of bandits who were once as fierce as tigers have turned into street rats, and everyone shouts and beats them. The world is like this, the ugliness is just a lack of a person who stands up, moaning, begging for mercy, and cries for help fill the ears, and the blood is more than Luoyang Hong, but the bandits are slowly decreasing, thin, until the last bandit was beaten by the people and broke his tendons, Shu Zhanwei breathed a long sigh of relief, and looked back and said: "General Xiao...... What else do we have to do? ”

When Xiao Buyi was encircling and suppressing the bandits, he still noticed that the bandits did not pour in from all directions, which showed that Wagang had not yet reached the time to attack with all his strength at the moment. Meng Rang can come, but it is just a temptation or a gap to enter. Thinking of this, Xiao Buyi shouted, "Go to the rescue of Shangchunmen first." ”

He urged the horse to take the lead, without fear, and the people and officers and soldiers followed behind in a clamorous, and the crowd was surging. Passing through Tongyuan City, passing by various neighborhoods, more and more people poured in, and more and more officers and soldiers rushed to hear the news, with only one goal, to follow General Xiao Da, and to drive the bandits out of the Eastern Capital in the future, protect their homes, and protect their families!

**

When Xiao Buyi relied on his prestige and ability to encourage the officers and soldiers of the people of the Eastern Capital, Li Yuan, who was thousands of miles away, was also making major decisions in his life.

Zhu Wen had already informed the counties near Jinyang before the rebellion, which was originally a premeditated action.

For this operation, Li Yuan has been preparing for several years. When he was in the Eastern Capital, he still wanted to save his life, and he never thought of any imperial greatness. But after arriving in Taiyuan, he began to prepare for a retreat, and his ambition swelled carefully. Of course, no one wants to be the emperor from the beginning, Li Yuan also seeks self-preservation first, then looks at development, and then decides the way forward. He was in power in Yang Guang for more than ten years, and spent a lot of time in Shanxi. First in the north of the building as a guard, then became the ambassador of Hedong, and now it has become Taiyuan to stay behind. He had been thinking about this land for so many years, and he couldn't be more familiar with it.

He rebelled here, and he knew the bottom of his heart.

Since he issued a document announcing the expulsion of bandits and the stability of the Sui Dynasty, all the secret connections have been put on the table, and countless old valve forces are vying to cling to each other, and he treats these people politely, and these people of course have a heart to rely on him, hoping to protect the peace of the family in the troubled times, and seek development in the momentum.

Although people like Li Mi are powerful, none of these people are optimistic that he can win the world. The reason is very simple, no one believes that the mud legs can represent the interests of the scholars, just like the scholars despise the mud legs forever. Tang Guogong was born in Valve, and Shanxi is quite prestigious, which is a good object for them to rely on.

The Wen brothers are also the old home of the valve with this idea. The Wen clan was a Kwantung clan, and it was very prestigious during the Northern Zhou and Northern Qi dynasties. There are three Wen brothers, Wen Daya, Wen Dalin, and Wen Dayou! In addition to Wen Dalin, who is now far away in Youzhou, Wen Daya and Wen Dayou are all in Taiyuan. These three brothers are all well-educated people in Taiyuan, and Xue Daoheng, the internal history waiter who made a poem about the empty beam and the Yan Ni, said that these three brothers are all talented! However, Xue Daoheng was killed because of his talent, and the three brothers have been depressed, but this does not prevent Li Yuan from paying attention to them.

In addition to Wen Daya and Wen Dayou, Pei Lian, Liu Hongji, Yin Kaishan, Liu Zhenghui, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin were also present at the meeting.

This meeting can be said to be the first military meeting of the Li Yuan uprising. After successfully eradicating the deputy left-behind Wang Wei and the subordinate general Wang Kangda, and squeezing out Li Jing, Li Yuan knew that the matter was urgent at the moment, and it would change later.

But everything he has been planning for years has been going on, and the rest is just going to be done step by step.

Pei Lin has always been unknown, but this time he is the first, not because he has outstanding military exploits, but because he supported Li Yuan with 9 million pieces of Jinyang Palace rice, 50,000 pieces of miscellaneous colors, and 400,000 pieces of armor, which undoubtedly gave Li Yuan the most powerful support! Of course, Li Yuan's reuse of Pei Lin in addition to personal friendship, there is also a very key reason, Pei's is the big lord of Hedong, the rise of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Pei's is indispensable, Li Yuan wooed Pei Lian, of course, in his heart also hopes that he will occupy the Kanto region, enter Guanzhong, and be able to repeat the old tricks.

These people who participated in the first military meeting were all Li Yuan's confidants, but there was no Liu Wenjing.

Liu Wenjing has actually always made great contributions, at least he has been instigating Li Shimin to rebel, and he approached Li Yuan through Li Shimin, and dispatched the Turks who came forward to win over, not only so that Li Yuan did not have to worry about the northern Xinjiang for the time being, but also sought Ma Yuan for him, and it can be said that the plot is a great credit. But for Liu Wenjing, Li Yuan has an indescribable feeling in his heart, the most important point is that Liu Wenjing's origin is unknown, every time Li Yuan thinks of this, he has a feeling of being like a wolf, but he still needs Liu Wenjing, plus his son Li Shimin and Liu Wenjing have a very good relationship, so they are respectful to him on the surface.

Happy things aside, everything that should be said in this meeting has been said, and there is only one theme, that is, how to take Xihe County! Li Yuan ordered Liu Zhenghui and others to issue a document in various counties along the way, but Gao Deru, the county leader of Xihe County, did not obey, cut off the ear of the person who issued the document, and scolded Li Yuan for being a chaotic minister and thief, Gao Deru and Li Yuan have always been at odds, these were already expected by Li Yuan, Xihe County is nearly two hundred miles southwest of Taiyuan, and it is the main road for him to go south, of course, it must be opened up first!

And this battle Li Yuan is bound to win, because it has a great impact on the morale of the army going south, although it is stable, but it lacks the experience of commanding soldiers and generals, not to mention the people, who are eager to advance, and his own capital in the world is not enough for him to squander. Brothers in battle, fathers and sons in battle, now is the time to start honing them, but at the moment they can only ask for it in name, but they must not risk commanding, if they are defeated, the consequences will be serious. Thinking of this, his eyes fell on Wen Dayou and Yin Kaishan, and Li Yuan said in a deep voice: "Dayou, this march is very important, we don't have many soldiers and horses, and the soldiers led by the people of the world are really the capital of the world in the future." They are young and inexperienced. For matters in the army, please also ask the eldest brother and the Kaishan brother to mention more......"

Wen Dayou and Yin Kaishan stood up and saluted, "Duke Tang has a life, and we should do our best." ”

Li Yuan's eyes fell on Liu Hongji again, and said sincerely: "General Liu is brave and invincible, and he is the main general in this battle, so I hope to wake up more and the people of the world." ”

Liu Hongji stood up and said: "Tang Gong has won the award, Liu should do his best." ”

Li Yuan saw that the three of them were respectful to him, and he was a little relieved, so he looked at Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin and said: "Jiancheng and Shimin, you two are young and don't know how to lead troops to fight, although you are the nominal and deputy commanders, this battle must obey Mr. Wen's command, and the specific rules will be determined by Mr. Yin. ”

He was not angry and arrogant in his words, Li Shimin pouted a little, but Li Jiancheng knelt down first and said: "The child should obey what his father said, and he should obey the orders of several gentlemen." ”

"Shimin, what about you?" Li Yuan asked uneasily.

Li Shimin had no choice but to follow and said: "The child not only obeys what his father says, but also obeys the orders of several gentlemen, and even more so the orders of the eldest brother. ”

Everyone laughed, and the slightly tense atmosphere disappeared without a trace. Li Yuan waited until everyone left, then gathered the two sons alone in a room, and said earnestly: "Jiancheng, Shimin, this matter is very important, and even related to the foundation of Guanzhong, you must be cautious and not impatient." This is the time for you to establish your prestige and fame, and you want to do it for yourself. ”

Li Jiancheng nodded yes, Li Shimin also put away his hippie smile, and suddenly said: "Dad, why hasn't my sister come back, haven't you sent someone to inform you again?" ”

Li Yuan frowned, "It's indeed a little strange, Yuan Ji said that the jade will not be turned around, I can only ask the old servant to inform again, but now the old servant has no news, which is really worrying." ”

Li Jiancheng said worriedly: "Cai Yu and Chai Shao are both good helpers of Dad, Dad is in trouble now, I'm afraid that the news will soon arrive in the Eastern Capital, I'm just afraid that if they don't leave, there will be a disaster of death!" ”

Li Yuan was worried, and couldn't think of any way for a while, Li Shimin frowned and said, "Dad, I said I would go in person, but you won't let me." Li Yuan waved his hand irritably and said: "This unfilial daughter, I have the right to not have this daughter!" ”

"But besides jade mining, there are other people ......," Li Jiancheng said worriedly.

Li Shimin said suddenly: "Dad, it's urgent now, please allow me to let Shi Wanbao go and inform him, if there is really something, he can help." ”

Li Yuan sighed lightly, "Now it can only be like this, Shimin, you can do it immediately." ”

**

At this time, Xiao Buyi had already hit Xining Gate from Shangchun Gate, and then to Hui'an Gate, which were the city gates in the northeast corner of the Eastern Capital.

Shangchun Gate, Xining Gate are the main roads of the outer city, vertical and horizontal, and the inner palace relationship is not small, known as heavy guards, the city defense is very large-scale, bandits are eager to attack and can not enter. When Xiao Buyi led the soldiers and people to support, there was thunder.

There were already soldiers guarding the city gate who came to ask for instructions, and Huangfu Wuyi did not put Xiao Buyi in his eyes, but in the eyes of the generals, the one who could stand up and resist the bandits at the crisis in the eastern capital was the real general!

In fact, they also know Xiao Buyi's prestige, but Xiao Buyi has not shown up since he entered the Eastern Capital, which can't help but make them murmur in their hearts. But at this time, when he saw Xiao Buyi with soldiers and people to support, and heard that they would annihilate the bandits who entered the city, Xiao Buyi personally killed the giant thief Meng Rang, and couldn't help but be greatly excited and admired. Some generals had already asked Xiao Buyi to go to the city to inspect the enemy's situation. Xiao Buyi climbed to the top of the city and looked up, only to see that although there were many bandits outside, there were not too many siege tools, and his heart was a little calm, knowing that it was just a test of Wagang. When he was guarding Xiangyang, he also studied the method of defending the city with Xu Shiji and others.

Now he is the largest in the outer city, and because he personally fought against bandits, the Sui soldiers who defended the city also obeyed him.

When Xiao Buyi arrived at Hui'anmen, he found that the defense here was the most lax, just a gap in the earthen wall, but Meng Rang's cavalry went straight in from here, and most of them wanted to kill from here, but they didn't expect to die in Xiao Buyi's hands.

Xiao Buyi instructed the people to temporarily block this exit with bricks and soil, prohibiting entry and exit, and temporarily suspended the heart for a while, and asked the soldiers to spread thorns and iron thorns on the passage, and ordered hundreds of soldiers to guard it, in case of any danger, beat the drum to call the police. He also knew that this kind of measure was really rough, and all the defenses in the eastern capital were concentrated in the inner city, and this kind of defense could be stopped for a while, but not for a lifetime. But the people all know that this is related to their own surname, and they are all brave to bear the land. The hearts of the people are united, Mount Tai moves, and soon all the orders are fulfilled.

Whether it was soldiers, generals or ordinary people, they all looked at Xiao Buyi, and Shu Zhanwei asked first: "General Xiao, what are we going to do now?" ”

He added a big character to the title of General Xiao, otherwise it was not enough to show respect in his heart. This is also because Xiao Buyi is still young, otherwise he would be called General Xiao. Along the way, he only saw Xiao Buyi's neatness in cutting thieves, his calmness, his decisiveness in commanding, and the five-body surrender that he had long admired. Why didn't the imperial court use such a general as Xindao, if General Xiao went out, how could the 30,000 elite soldiers in the eastern capital lose their hands? They don't know about the competition for fame and fortune in the court, but Shu Zhanwei just understands that here is his father, wife, and children, and here his brothers and sisters, and the East cannot be lost, and the hope of the East Capital is on Xiao Buyi!

Xiao Buyi saw the soldiers and people in front of him, and when he looked at the past, the end of the long street was crowded with people, and he sighed in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Sons and daughters of the Eastern Capital, you have worked hard. ”

He didn't have any big slogans, just a simple sentence, and the people of Dongdu burst into tears, and replied like a landslide and tsunami: "General Xiao...... Great work. "The people's eyes are the brightest, and whoever stands up in the most urgent time in the Eastern Capital will always be remembered.

Xiao Buyi rarely made this kind of demagogic speech, and he didn't know what to say for a while, and when the aftermath stopped, he sighed lightly: "Today, the bandits ......"

Before he finished speaking, some soldiers shouted, "General Xiao, there is an urgent military situation!" ”

Xiao Buyi was slightly stunned, and said in his heart when did he have the right to make a promise, and the soldiers actually came to him to report the military situation? The people automatically dodged a road, and some soldiers rushed over, knelt down on one knee and said: "General Xiao, Huiluocang has been occupied by Wagang!" The soldiers urgently entered the inner city to report, but I came here to inform General Xiao and ask the general to decide! Xiao Buyi was secretly awe-inspiring, his heart was really unstoppable now, all the things of Li Mi seemed to be urgent, but they were in order, pressing layer by layer, if he didn't use the troops of the Eastern Capital to consume his power, the consequences would be worrying.

The people were in an uproar, and Shu Zhanwei hurriedly said: "General, the big thing is not good, returning to Luocang is the lifeblood of the Eastern Capital, this warehouse is lost, and the Eastern Capital is less than a month's worth of rations, how can it be kept?" General Xiao decides! ”

He knelt down on one knee, his eyes were full of earnestness, in his mind, Xiao Buyi was already the savior of the Eastern Capital, and he just hoped that he could think of a way.

Shu Zhanwei knelt down, and all the soldiers knelt down and shouted: "Please General Xiao make a decision to save the Eastern Capital!" ”

Then the soldiers knelt down in an uproar and shouted, "Please General Xiao save the Eastern Capital!" ”

Xiao Buyi said in his heart, I am not a god, how can I conjure food? Knowing what to say at this time, he pondered for a moment before saying: "The top priority at the moment is to protect the eastern capital and recapture Luocang......"

"Please General Xiao send troops to recapture Luocang." Shu Zhanwei said loudly.

The soldiers of the common people followed: "Please General Xiao send troops to recapture Luocang!" The sound was overwhelming, shocking the Eastern Capital.

Xiao Buyi smiled bitterly: "Actually, I am leading you and others today, it is no longer in line with the rules of the imperial court, if you want to send troops, I am only afraid that I will be powerless......"

Suddenly, a common man jumped up, it was the guy from the teahouse, he followed all the way, and only then did he come out at this moment. rushed over and knelt down and said: "General Xiao, Zhang Xiaoniu is just a gangster in the market, his family was killed by bandits, and he knows the suffering of the people after the bandits entered the Eastern Capital!" I know that Zhang Xiaoniu is soft-spoken, and I know that General Xiao can't send troops, mostly because of the annihilation of the ministers. Zhang Xiaoniu has no other skills, only a head and a lot of blood. Cut it down, and after eighteen years, he will still be a man! If you dare to say such a thing today, it will be worth dying immediately! General Xiao, I am willing to follow you to fight the bandits left and right, and do my best to make a modest effort. Now I will go and kneel in front of the inner city and beg the king of Yue to let General Xiao lead the troops, if you want to kill or chop, let him go. ”

After he said this, he suddenly stood up, and was about to turn around and rush out of the crowd, but was grabbed by Xiao Buyi.

Xiao Buyi's eyes were bright, and he said with tears: "I want to go, I'll go with you!" ”

He just said a bland sentence, Zhang Xiaoniu heard it, but tears flowed down, and he choked up: "Okay, General Xie!" ”

When the people heard the answer between the two, they couldn't help but be moved, and after a moment of silence, Shu Zhanwei took two steps forward and saluted: "Huyalang will stretch his strength and is willing to invite troops with General Xiao!" ”

"Good!" Xiao Buyi patted him on the shoulder and shouted in a deep voice: "It's all a man!" ”

"General Hu Benlang is in charge of the dust, and he is willing to go with General Xiao to ask for troops." Another soldier stepped forward and shouted in a deep voice.

"Zhe Chong Lang will be willing to follow Han Zhen!"

"Xiongwu Lang will Mu Liangxiong with his wishes!"

"Cui Wangsong of the Cui family in the eastern capital is willing to follow the ......", "Gao Jiagao Menglong in the eastern capital is willing to follow the ......", "Longfeng Teahouse Li Gui is willing to follow the ......"

For a while, there were generals, soldiers, scholars, and ordinary people, and the people from afar also shouted, "The people of the Eastern Capital are willing to invite troops with General Xiao!" ”

Thousands of shouts, shaking the world, Xiao Buyi burst into tears, and said loudly: "Okay, let's go and ask for soldiers, and then beat Wagang to his mother!" ”

Xiao Buyi walked forward alone, and the people of the Eastern Capital followed in a mighty way, converging into a torrent and moving forward, irresistible! ――
