Yanshi goes down the Luoshui water, and can reach Luokoucang without saying it, Luokoucang is also known as Xingluocang, which is located in the east of Gongxian County.

The geographical location of Luokoucang is extremely concise, from Luoshui upstream, can go up to the eastern capital, from the Yellow River upstream, can go to Tongguan and Dasui Xijing. It can reach the estuary of Shandong along the river, and also communicates with the Grand Canal, connecting north and south.

The Great Sui hoarded the grain transported from the south of the Yangtze River here, which could ensure that the grain and grass of the two capitals were worry-free.

Because Luokou warehouse is the first granary in the world, it has always had heavy soldiers, and there are thousands of guards in Cangcheng Pingli.

In addition, Luokoucang is close to the tiger prison in the east and Yanshi in the west, the two cities are high and thick, the soldiers are good and the food is sufficient, and they are guarding Luokoucang with horns, but few bandits dare to come.

Of course, there are not a few people who have the idea of fighting Luokoucang, but it's a pity that they are weak.

Xiao Buyi's march stopped at Luokou Cang for a whole day, replenished grain and grass, and continued to move forward.

Since the Yanshi went out again, the three armies have been much less unruly, Xiao Buyi beheaded the Weifu soldiers Song Meng, Qian Gui, and the news of the staff scolding the general Di Hongyuan has already come in the three armies, and everyone is awe-inspiring.

Originally, these elite soldiers of the Weifu were all supported by the court, and they were different from ordinary government soldiers, they had some arrogant habits, and it was common to be arrogant and provocative, and they thought that following General Xiao to suppress bandits was nothing more than a tour of the mountains and rivers, but now I found out that things are by no means so simple.

But the biggest headache for the soldiers was not Xiao Buyi, but Wei Zheng.

Since Wei Zheng became a prisoner, the requirements for soldiers are almost harsh. Of course, harshness is relative, and in Wei Zheng's opinion, military regulations are very ordinary, but when applied to these soldiers, they have become shackles, and they can't help but complain.

However, Wei Zheng is selfless and ruthless, and for these soldiers of the Wei Mansion, Wei Zheng is a completely unfamiliar face, and there is no human affection to talk about.

Xiao Buyi did not praise Wei Zheng, let alone belittle, but just listened to Wei Zheng's advice, checked and checked one by one, and after confirming that it was correct, he was severely punished.

Wei Zheng saw that Xiao Buyi would never engage in favoritism and fraud, shield his subordinates, and treat the internal army equally, so he couldn't help but increase his confidence in governing the army and felt that he had a place to play. However, he is just fair, never arrogant, although the person who was punished is slanderous, it can be seen that others are the same, there is a lot less resentment, and others are frightened when they see it, so they naturally restrain a lot of bad habits.

In this way, Xiao Buyi had an effective helper to govern the army, but he saved a lot of trouble, and from Yanshi to Luokoucang, the team was disciplined, and it was much better than when he left the eastern capital.

Xiao Buyi was secretly proud, and said in his heart that he may not have mastered the key to leading the army, but he has already mastered the trick of being a leader, it doesn't matter if he can't do things, it's good to have subordinates who can do things. Although Wei Zheng has a bad temper and a stubborn surname, he never slaps him around, and always seems to be in arrears, but Xiao Buyi knows that he has the ability and can help him do things, which is enough.

All the brothers, including Sun Shaofang, all threw themselves to the ground for Xiao Buyi's admiration for the five bodies, and the heart said that the boss had good martial arts, but he still had the wisdom to know people, and he just found a secretary of the Yanshi to govern the army, and he was actually in order. Xu Shiji also admired when he saw it, he kept following Xiao Buyi around, paying close attention, only to find that his performance was really surprising. He seems to be careless in his work, but he often takes precautions and rarely makes mistakes. He marched unhurriedly, not in a hurry or impatiently, maybe his ability to lead the army was still far inferior to Li Jing, but the 20,000 elites arrived in Wagang this time, and he was afraid that Zhai Rang and the others would not be able to resist it.

Zhai Rang is kind to Xu Shiji, although he was angry with Zhai Hong, but after all, he still has feelings for Wagang, thinking that if Zhai Rang dies in the hands of Xiao Buyi, it will inevitably be uneasy, day and night just to think of a way to get the best of both worlds.

Xiao Buyi's army left Luokoucang and went straight to the Tiger Prison.

The tiger prison is tall and majestic, the city wall is thick, after the tiger prison pass is Xingyang, after crossing the canal, it is the tile gang where Zhai Rang and others are located.

The city guard of the Tiger Prison is Pei Renji, the general of the Tiger Prison, but he is Pei Xingyan's father, who is under the command of the general Zhang Xutuo, and guards the fortress town.

Pei Renji was surprised when he saw his son coming with Xiao Buyi, and when others were not paying attention, he pulled his son aside and asked in a low voice, "Okay, why are you with General Xiao?" ”

Hearing his son finish telling the cause and effect, Pei Renji frowned and said, "Okay, why don't you understand the hard work of being a father." ”

"Dad, I know you have good intentions." Pei Xingyan said in a deep voice: "But the boy learns martial arts, when he is famous and famous, he makes meritorious contributions, and he does not hesitate to do anything about the horse leather shroud, you let me follow General Pang to guard the Yanshi, although the surname is worry-free, but the child's heart is not happy." ”

Pei Renji sighed, "It's a good thing that my son is ambitious, but you must know that now that the foundation has not changed, it will be difficult to eradicate the bandits, even if you are like General Zhang, what can you do, it is not in vain, and you even have the worry of your life?" ”

Pei Xingyan shook his head and said: "Father's words are different, although General Zhang is difficult to get rid of the bandits, he has established a prestige and is admired by thousands of people." If you live like a mustard for a lifetime, what's the point of dying well? ”

Pei Renji looked at his son for a long time, and then sighed: "As a father, there is only one son, you, you can do it yourself." ”

Although Xiao Buyi marched slowly, but after arriving at the Tiger Prison, Wei Chigong had not yet arrived, and there was no news from Zhang Xutuo's people, all the generals asked Xiao Buyi to plan to come out, Xiao Buyi thought for a long time, and issued an order: "All the troops are encamped outside the Tiger Prison City, waiting for the opportunity." ”

**Eastern Capital, Houde Palace.

Yang Guang frowned, a little irritable.

Pei Yun, Yu Shiji, Su Wei and other ministers were all there, and Wei Wensheng was the first to report: "Shengshang, the military situation in the Tiger Prison has turned around, General Xiao has already marched to the Tiger Prison, and he is waiting for the opportunity, and there is no news on both sides of General Zhang and Wei Chigong. ”

Yang Guang didn't care about Xiao Buyi's Eastern Expedition, but just said 'um' and was absent-minded.

Su Wei stepped forward and said: "Holy Lord, the old minister thinks that the conquest of bandits is not urgent, and it is the fundamental way to appease the people and concentrate on production." ”

Yang Guang said irritably: "Pacify and appease, you know how to persuade me to appease, but who will appease me?" I have repeatedly exempted from taxes, but is it not enough to appease those who are distracted? ”

Su Wei frowned secretly, "Holy Lord, I only heard that the bandits were haunted in Changbai Mountain, but now they are close to the water, and the rents and servants in various places are becoming scarce, which shows that most of the bandits are ordinary people who farm......"

"That's enough." Yang Guang slapped the table angrily and said: "They dare to rebel, do you think I don't dare to kill?" Retire! ”

Su Wei stepped back tremblingly and shook his head secretly. Pei Yun and Yu Shiji were both shocked and didn't dare to say more. Three months after the death of the fake Chen Xuanhua, Yang Guang was devastated. But after thinking of Chen Xuanhua's return to the yang again, Yang Guang was really excited for a few days, but he was also excited for a few days. After Xiao Buyi led the army out of the Eastern Capital, Yang Guang and other Chen Xuanhua's news gradually became irritable, and he returned to his usual violent surname.

Seeing Su Wei shaking his head, Yang Guang shouted angrily: "What are you shaking your head for, but you think what I said is wrong?" ”

Su Wei didn't wait for an answer, Yuwen Shu hurriedly came from outside the hall, Yang Guang temporarily let Su Wei go, stood up from the dragon chair, and asked nervously: "Yuwen Aiqing, how is the matter going, can the two Dao Masters find the key person?" ”

Yu Wenshu wiped his sweat and panted and said, "Holy Lord, I found it." ”

Everyone was stunned, in the past, Yuwenshu said that he did his best, but it was just a delay, where did he think that he would find someone to return Yang for Chen Xuanhua, Pei Yun and Yu Shiji were all coldly watching, I don't know what Yuwenshu is famous this time.

Yang Guangxi walked a few steps and held Yu Wenshu's hand and said, "Where is it?" ”

Yuwen looked at the ministers, and stopped talking. Yang Guang understood very well at this moment, and waved his hand: "You all stand down." ”

Su Wei and the others withdrew from the Houde Palace, and Yuwen Shu said: "Daoist Huan has been searching in the Eastern Capital for a long time, only to find that there is a person who barely meets the calculated proposition, but it is still the same. ”

Yang Guang frowned and said, "If you have something to say, just say it, as long as I can do it, I won't refuse." ”

Yuwen Shu's face showed embarrassment, "It's better for the Holy Lord to let the two Dao Elders come to narrate, it will be more clear." ”

Yang Guang promised, a moment of effort, two Taoists entered the hall, the left hand is not young, the crane hair is childish, the right hand is only a year old, the expression is kind, and the demeanor is calm.

Both of them are dressed as Taoists, and they are fairy and bone-like, which makes people feel quite dusty when they see it.

Yang Guang looked at the elder Daoist and asked, "Daoist Huan, I heard General Yuwen say that you have found the person you need?" ”

Daoist Huan made a gesture and saluted: "Qiqi Shengshang, Poor Dao and Daoist Xu calculated for seven days and seven nights, and then calculated that this person should be on General Yuwen's body." ”

Yang Guang was stunned, and in an instant he held Yuwen Shu's hand again, and said with a smile: "In that case, what are you waiting for, isn't Yuwen Aiqing not wanting to help me?" ”

Yu Wenshu could only say: "Saint, you listen to Daoist Huan, if you need the old minister, the old minister will go to the soup and go to the fire, and he will not give up, even if he gives up his surname, what can he do?" But it's not that simple. ”

Yang Guang's enthusiasm diminished, and he said worriedly: "Then what else do you need?" Last time, Yuan Daochang told fortunes and returned to Yang, and it didn't seem to be troublesome. ”

His hot and cold expression made the Taoist surnamed Xu next to him look at him, and an imperceptible mockery flashed in his eyes.

Daoist Huan said, "Holy Lord, please also ask this Daoist Xu to explain to you." ”

Xu Daochang said with a straight face: "Last time, Yuan Daochang's calculation was not bad, and the practice was good, but he ignored one point, resulting in a lack of yang energy, which damaged Mrs. Chen's life." Mrs. Chen's incense and jade loss this time have a lot to do with the simplicity of the method. ”

Yang Guang heard that what he said also made sense, and muttered: "I see, no wonder Xuanhua and I only get together for a few months to separate, is this also fate?" ”

Xu Daochang nodded and said, "Holy Lord, it is true. That's why I said that this time we must not act in a hurry, the second return is far more difficult than the first time, if Mrs. Chen dies again, then the Daluo Immortal will not be able to save. ”

"What Xu Daochang said is very true, but how to do it?" Yang Guang asked shamelessly for the first time.

Xu Daochang said: "I have discussed with Daoist Huan for a long time, maybe it will take a long time this time, and it will not be a one-time effort, and I ask the Holy Lord to be patient." ”

Yang Guang frowned and said, "How long will it take, will it take three years and five years?" ”

Xu Daochang shook his head and said, "That's not necessary, if the Holy Lord does it according to the method we are waiting for, it will be completed by the end of the year." ”

Yang Guang finally smiled a little, "At the end of the year, I can wait, Xu Daochang can tell me everything that needs to be done in detail." ”

Xu Daochang coughed lightly and said: "This method is actually not difficult, that is, it is necessary for the saint to take the dragon boat to go down to the south of the Yangtze River in person, and give Mrs. Chen enough dragon yang qi to bury her bones, and then you need the saint to stay in the south of the Yangtze River, full of yang energy, and the amount of charm and spirit dare not disturb, at that time, the poor Dao will tell the saint in detail everything that needs to be done, and at the end of the year, Mrs. Chen will definitely return to the yang again and appear in front of the saint." ”

Yu Wenshu's face changed slightly when he heard this, but Yang Guang didn't care about anything else, just muttered, "Do you want me to go to Jiangnan?" Okay, I'll go to Gangnam right away! ”

**Xu and Huan just walked out of the Houde Palace, and Yuwenshu had already rushed over and pulled them into the sedan chair to turn back to Yuwen's mansion.

The three of them were silent along the way, but when the three of them were alone, Yu Wenshu couldn't wait to ask, "Daochang Xu, how do you say that you can return to Yang at the end of the year, where can I find a Chen Xuanhua to dedicate to the saint?" ”

Xu Daochang sighed and said: "General Yuwen Shao'an is not impatient, if you believe my words, you should not be suspicious, if you are suspicious, it is better for you to ask Gao Ming." ”

Yuwen Shu grabbed Xu Daochang and said embarrassedly: "Xu Daochang plans to be released, please tell the old man, and don't let the old man worry and be scared all night." ”

Xu Daochang said a few words in Yuwenshu's ear, and Yuwenshu was somewhat skeptical, "What Xu Daochang said is true?" ”

Xu Daochang smiled and said: "General Yuwen, you and I are in the same boat, it is not beneficial for each other if the boat capsizes, so we should be honest with each other." ”

Yu Wenshu nodded and said, "That's what you said, but the two Dao Masters, you will also go down to Jiangnan with the Holy Master, right?" ”

Xu and Huan nodded, "That's nature." ”

When the two people left, Yuwenshu ordered his subordinates to follow, and not to let the two out of the eastern capital.

He finally found himself cocooned and bound himself, when Chen Xuanhua sent it to the door, he had been planning for a long time, and he didn't find anything bad for him, so he offered it to the saint, but he never dreamed that Chen Xuanhua would die. Now Yang Guang misses Chen Xuanhua and wants to go crazy, and he is also forced by Yang Guang to jump into the river, although he always feels that Xu and Huan may not be able to succeed, but the dead horse is regarded as a live horse doctor, and he can only take one step at a time.

Xu Daochang walked out of the Yuwen Mansion and returned to the Dao Training Workshop.

The Taoists here are all ghostly, the smoke in the workshop is filled, the last time the fire burned Angata to death, these Taoists did not care, but intensified, and made the ghost spirit, black smoke miasma.

Xu Daochang turned around where he lived, although it was spacious, but the furnishings were simple, and when he opened the door, he smiled and said: "What's the fun of drinking alone, Pushan Gong, I'll have a drink with you." ”

The person who drank the wine had a sharp angle on his forehead, his eyes were black and white, and he seemed to despise the people in the world, and when he heard Xu Daochang's question, he raised his head and smiled: "Hong Ke, your courage is also rare." ”

The person who drank was Pushan Gong Li Mi!

Xu Hongke smiled and said: "If you talk about the courage of the hero, which one is comparable to Pushan Gong, if you are looking for you today, how do you know that you will arrive in the Eastern Capital unknowingly?" ”

Li Mi smiled, but his smile was lonely, "How are things going?" ”

Xu Hongke sat down, "According to our plan, there is great hope of success." I used the matter of returning Yang to coax Yang Guang, persuaded him to go south, and then dragged him for another year and a half, according to the current situation of the Great Sui, if Yang Guang does not sit in the eastern capital, the world will not be in chaos, at that time Pushan Righteousness Banner is held high, I think he will be able to make a great difference. ”

Li Mi raised his glass and smiled: "I didn't expect that Dum Jun would be so easy to deceive, although Yang Guang is ambitious and talented, but after all, he still has some brains, and it is not surprising that he is so easy to fall into a scheme." ”

Xu Hongke had a drink with him, but shook his head, "Pushan Gong's words are wrong, this opportunity is really difficult to wait, we have waited for several years to wait, how can we seize it?" Now that Yang Guanglian has been hit, he has long been sharpened off his edges and corners, his will is depressed, and he doesn't think about politics, so he only pins his hopes on Chen Xuanhua. If he had done this a few years earlier, he would have cut off his head. But if you want to deceive him, Pei Mingcui is also difficult to do by his side. Now that Pei Mingcui is gone, I dare to let it go, otherwise I wouldn't dare to appear in the Eastern Capital. This woman's wit and intelligence are really outstanding, our tricks can fool Yang Guang, the faint king, and Yu Wenshu's minister, but we definitely can't fool Pei Mingcui. ”

He said it for sure, but there was also a hint of amazement, but Li Mi smiled and said: "Even if she is witty and smart, what can she do, isn't she disheartened and lazy to leave the Eastern Capital?" The most powerful thing in this world is not martial arts, but the timing of the mind, Pei Mingcui wants to act against the sky, and in the end he will only end up sad. Yang Guang has countless capable people, but he self-destructs the Great Wall, can't listen to the opinions of his subordinates, the country collapses, who will complain? ”

Xu Hongke nodded and sighed, took a sip of wine before saying: "Pushan Gong, according to Yang Guang's infatuation, I think I will go down to the south of the Yangtze River in a few days, and there will be no owner in the Central Plains, so there must be chaos, but I don't know what Pushan Gong's plans are for the next step?" ”

Li Mi smiled and said: "Just wait for Yang Guang to go south, that's when I will show my strength." Wagang has quite a prestige in the Central Plains, and I would like to go and see it. ”

Xu Hongke nodded, "Pushan Gong, I'm just afraid that Zhai Rang's qi is too small to tolerate you." ”

Li Mi smiled: "I have my own plans. ”

Xu Hongke didn't ask much, and the two drank a few glasses again, and Li Mi suddenly asked, "What do you think of Xiao Buyi?" ”

Xu Hongke pondered for a long time before saying, "Unfathomable. ”

Li Mi raised his eyebrows, "Even you can't see his depth?" ”

Xu Hongke shook his head and said: "Pushan Gong, he said that the world is in chaos, if you are chasing the Central Plains, there are few people who can fight against you, but if Xiao Buyi is not dead, it will definitely be a big trouble for you." I met him in Ma Yi at the beginning, and he was really nothing at that time. Pei Mingcui came out for him and made a lot of money for him, but not only did I look away, I don't think even Pei Mingcui could have imagined that in just a few years, Xiao Buyi already had monstrous rights. The most powerful thing about this son is also forbearance, and Pushan Gong, no one can guess what he is thinking, he has always done things in a decent manner, even the shocking prophecy of the previous paragraph can be resolved silently, and it is by no means a simple character. ”

"Shocking prophecy?" Li Mi clenched the wine glass in his hand, "But Maitreya was born, is the cloth dominant?" ”

Xu Hongke nodded and hesitated: "Pushan Gong, now everyone says that Luoshui's attack on the driving was done by Taiping Dao, and Taiping Dao is building momentum for Xiao Buyi, could it be that Tianji should really be on Xiao Buyi's body?" ”

Li Mi clenched his palm, and the 'click' sound, and the wine glass turned into powder, which showed the power of his palm.

"Heavenly Machine? What is Heavenly Machine? If there is really a heavenly opportunity, if you really know the heavenly opportunity, why has the Taiping Dao never been carried forward for hundreds of years, but it is said to be gradually declining, and even five buckets of rice, Maoshan Sect can step on their heads, in my opinion, it is just a trick. ”

Xu Hongke smiled bitterly: "What Pushan Gong said also makes sense. However, it is an indisputable fact that Xiao Buyi is now sharp, he and Zhang Xutuo are not weak, I heard that now Xiao Buyi has sent troops to suppress bandits, if he is in the same place with Zhang Xutuo, I am only afraid that Pushan Gong will not be able to get along. ”

Li Mi let go of his palm and let the powder of the wine glass slide down, but his mood had calmed down.

"What's so hard about defeating the two of them?"

Xu Hongke was shocked, "I don't know what good plan Pushan Gong has?" Xiao Buyi broke through Lishan with thousands of people, and Pushan Gong didn't want to underestimate the enemy. ”

Li Mi said abruptly: "Xiao Buyi's foundation lies in Yang Guang, and the power is also in Yang Guang, Pei Mingcui plays a role in checking and balancing it, and now that Pei Mingcui is gone, Xiao Buyi's status in Yang Guang's mind is not so reliable." Yang Guang has always been suspicious, how can he ignore the four words of Buyi's heroism, as long as you and I spread rumors in the Eastern Capital, I think Yang Guang will be suspicious in a few days. Zhang Xutuo, Xiao Buyi's division of troops is difficult to deal with, if they are in one place, one mountain will not accommodate two tigers, I am only afraid that Yang Guang will have a suspicious heart attack, and Zhang Xutuo will soon eradicate Xiao Buyi! Xiao Buyi is by no means a person who sits still and waits to be killed, the two tigers fight, there will be an injury, when the time comes, why is it difficult to fight them again? ”

Xu Hongke was silent for a long time, "Pushan Gong knows a little, it is really extraordinary, but Zhang Xutuo is quite talented, coupled with his martial arts, I am afraid that he is the only one who wins, do you have a way to deal with him?" ”

"I don't know who is left yet, and it's useless to think about it." A sly smile appeared at the corner of Li Mi's mouth, he stood up and patted Xu Hongke's shoulder, "Hongke, the affairs of the Eastern Capital will be handled by you, and one day I will say that if I win the world, I should share it with you." ”

Xu Hongke shook his head and said: "I don't dare to say anything to share the world, I just ask Pushan Gong to promote my Taoism." ”

Li Mi nodded to leave, and Xu Hongke asked, "Where is Pushan Gong going?" Li Mi smiled and said: "I'm going to find Zhai Rang, I hope he won't be beaten by Xiao Buyi!" ”

**On an official road leading from Jindi Pass to Dongjun, the car is sparkling.

Hundreds of soldiers with bright armor marched in the direction of Dongjun with dozens of carts, the carts were full, although they were covered with black cloth, but everyone knew that there were good things inside.

Now that it has passed the early summer, the water of the Yellow River flows happily, and the artemisia grass beside the official road is also crazy to grow, the breeze is blowing, rippling like blue waves, but I don't know how many desolate monsters are hidden under the blue waves.

The official road is not a flat river, the terrain is rugged and undulating, and the soldiers who escort the baggage have entered a canyon.

The walls on both sides of the canyon stand thousands of miles, and the confrontation comes out, and the terrain is quite treacherous.

The officers and soldiers just moved forward, slowly entering the valley mouth, led by the generals with a horizontal lance in their hands, majestic, with dozens of horsemen in front of the road, and the soldiers behind protected the baggage, cautious.

"Zhai Dangjia, do you want to rob it?" One person looked at the baggage that entered the valley and swallowed his saliva, the man had a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, but it was Jia Xiong. The person he asked was Zhai Hong, the second master of the cottage.

Zhai Hong touched his head, this is a habit he has developed in the past year, because every time he robs, he thinks of Xiao Buyi's shiny single knife, and he feels a little cold in the back of his head.

"Of course robbing, they are only a few hundred, we have nearly a thousand people, the right time and place are all here for us, if you don't rob, you will be a turtle bastard!"

"But Big Brother Shan didn't come, if there is hard stubble among the officers and soldiers, I'm just afraid that we won't be able to deal with it." Jia Xiong muttered.

Zhai Hong snorted coldly, "Shan Xiongxin has always been dissatisfied with me because I forced Xu Shiji away, and I have long seen him unpleasant, Jia Xiong, are you with me or with him?" ”

"Of course, it's to follow the second master." Jia Xiong accompanied the smiling face.

Zhai Hong sneered: "I'll let Shan Xiongxin and Wang Bodang take a look, without them, I, Zhai Hong, am also a good man." Put stones! ”

With his shout, the big stone halfway up the mountain rumbled down the mountain, and in the dust, Zhai Hong Huo Ran stood up, raised a single knife in his hand, the sun was shining, full of pride, "Brothers, rush!" ”.
