Mo Yu beheaded Cheng Jiahui without the slightest hesitation. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info firstly, he hated Cheng Jiahui very much, and secondly, he also wanted to show his merit and gain a future for the future.

The Western Liang army was in the city, and the soldiers and civilians of the city were all panicked. Wang Honglie's defeat at [***] Mountain undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to the soldiers and civilians in the city.

The current three words of the king of Xiliang can put great pressure on the opponent, although Wang Shichong has defeated Li Zitong, Du Fuwei, and Shen Faxing in a row, and has achieved a lot of momentum, but compared with Xiao Buyi, the strength is not a little bit worse.

Although Wang Shichong is still unwilling to give up the last chance to fight back, in the eyes of many people, as long as Xiao Buyi is steady and not in a hurry, Wang Shichong's defeat is inevitable.

Since sooner or later it will be defeated, it is obviously better to take refuge early than late.

Because after every battle, the consumption is huge, and after every battle, maybe someone's relatives will die.

Under the control of Wang Shichong and the majesty of Cheng Jiahui, no one dared to rebel, or rather, there was a lack of a leader. There were only a few hundred people who came out of the cell, and after arriving at the county mansion, thousands of people responded, and when they killed Cheng Jiahui, when they arrived at the city gate, it could be said that there were thousands of empty alleys.

Under the light of the city lantern torches, it was as bright as day, and the torrent of soldiers and civilians rushed to the head of the city under the leadership of Zhang Liang and Mo Yu.

There may be people who are reluctant to surrender, and they have already quietly hid aside when they see this momentum.

When Mo Yu ordered the opening of the city, he was in high spirits. But it is impossible to live forever, and he will not forget who is the biggest, Mo Yue said respectfully: "Lord Zhang, I am bold, please General Li enter the city." ”

Ink followed the pace of the eldest brother and said loudly: "I will wait for the courage to invite General Li into the city!" ”

"I'm going to be brave...... Invite General Lee into the city......"

The cheers and shouts spread, and the city was full of excitement and passion, and it was out of control. Countless people joined in the shouts and invited General Li into the city.

Because they know that General Li is Li Jing, Li Jing is the first general under the King of Western Liang, and the King of Western Liang represents the Eastern Capital, the Eastern Capital...... It means peace!

They have been in turmoil for too long, have endured for too long, and have waited too long, and it is this peace that makes them thirsty for it.

The city gate was opened, and everyone poured out of the city in a fanatical mood, and when they saw the Western Liang army in columns, rows and rows, neat and strict, they were all in awe.

Li Jing rode in front, as calm as a mountain. Mo Yue led everyone forward early, knelt down and said, "General Li, I will wait for the surrender and invite General Li to enter the city." ”

Li Jing glanced at Zhang Liang and Zhang Ji approvingly, and the two of them dismounted and saluted, and said in a low voice: "My subordinates are fortunate to live up to their mission." ”

"You're doing a great job." Li Jing said approvingly. Walking over to help Mo Yu and the others, Li Jing said in a deep voice: "[***] The army and people of the city are enlightened and righteous, and they are well-versed in affairs, and the king of Xiliang should be very happy when he knows that you and others have surrendered." Before entering the city, the general and you waited for three chapters of the law, and the murderer died, the wounded person was guilty, and the thief was convicted. This law does not discriminate against everyone, whether it is the army and the people of the city or the army of the Western Liang, they must be strictly observed. ”

The Western Liang army shouted in unison, "Follow General Li's orders." ”

The army cheered, and the sound moved the four fields, and Mo Yu also led people to shout: "General Xie Li." ”

The soldiers and civilians cheered, Li Jing waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Enter the city!" ”

**

Some people are happy, of course, some people are suffering, and many people's happiness is often based on the pain of others.

Xiao Buyi and Wang Shichong are good examples.

Xiao Buyi is not very happy at the moment, but when Wang Shichong is desperately trying to seize some projectile land, Xiao Buyi easily got the Jianghuai army to take refuge.

If Xiao Buyi is asked to explain, of course, it will be very simple, because he has a lot of capital. In his modern theory, it is not easy to earn another dollar with one dollar, but if you have 10,000 yuan, it is too easy to earn one.

Take Liyang and Xia [***], although Xiao Buyi is not as powerful as a bamboo, it is also smooth sailing. When Wang Shichong heard that King Wei was arrested, he really wanted to strangle Xiao Buyi to death.

His life was ruined by Xiao Buyi's hands.

Wang Shichong has already marched to Taihu Lake, besieging Wuxi, and is about to launch an attack on Shen Faxing. In Wang Shichong's opinion, as long as he is given a few months, he can defeat Shen Faxing and take Shen Faxing's territory.

This is not arrogance, this is the conclusion reached by Wang Shichong after many years of fighting. Shen Faxing is cruel and profitable, although he is a big clan in the south of the Yangtze River, but when it comes to using soldiers, compared to him Wang Shichong, it is too far behind!

Wang Shichong only has a few months, but unfortunately, he doesn't even have a few months.

Li Jing and Xiao Buyi undoubtedly calculated it a long time ago, no matter who wins at this time, they will have to launch a general attack.

Wang Shichong drove wolves at the front door, but he didn't expect the tiger to enter the back door, when he was expanding to the south of the Yangtze River, Xiao Buyi was encroaching on his Jiangbei. Wang Shichong knew that something was wrong, and hurried back to Jiangdu from Biling.

When he arrived in Jiangdu, he heard the second bad news, Cheng Jia, the county of [***] City, would be killed, and [***] City had fallen into the hands of Xiao Buyi.

When he heard the news, Wang Shichong was undoubtedly like being knocked on a stick, and he couldn't react for a while.

After Wang Shichong occupied Jiangdu, the first thing he did was to guard the [***] heavy army in the west of Jiangdu, and let Wang Honglie and Yang Gongqing wait for the opportunity to move, plotting Liyang, so that they could go to conquer Shen Faxing on the south bank of the Yangtze River with peace of mind. If Wang Honglie's fiasco was an accident, it was impossible for [***] City to lose in a short period of time.

But the facts will not lie to him, Wang Shichong sat on the imperial throne, his face was pale, the corners of his mouth twitched, and his eyelids kept jumping.

He was cunning, but for a while, his mind was blank.

Yang Gongqing stood in front of Wang Shichong, his face was pale, and he pleaded guilty: "Holy Lord, the guilty minister has a heavy trust, and please give him a death." ”

After Yang Gongqing escaped his surname by luck, he finally rushed back to Jiangdu. At this moment, his face was full of shame and extreme guilt.

A person next to him said angrily: "Saint, Honglie has been defeated, Yang Gongqing has an unshirkable responsibility, and I also ask the Holy Lord to push this person out and behead it to show the public." ”

The man had a horse's face and was furious, it was Wang Shiwei, the king of Chu, who rushed back from Biling with Wang Shichong. Wang Shiwei is Wang Shichong's eldest brother, Wang Honglie is Wang Shiwei's son, and when his son is arrested, Lao Tzu will of course be angry.

Yang Gongqing was even more frightened, knelt down on the ground and said: "Qiqi Sheng, Xiao Buyi used a suspicious tactic, it was I who persuaded the King of Wei to withdraw his troops and temporarily return to [***] City to hold on, but I didn't expect to fall for Xiao Buyi's trick, and the valley was in danger." What the king of Chu said is right, the responsibility for this war crime lies with the last general, and he also asks the saint to punish him heavily. ”

"Someone is coming, ......" Wang Shiwei gave an order, and the soldiers stepped forward.

Wang Shichong was displeased, waved his hand and said, "Stand down!" ”

The soldiers looked at each other, and for a moment they didn't know what to do. Wang Shiwei said angrily: "Holy Lord, if there is no punishment, it is inevitable that the army will be dissatisfied. ”

Wang Shichong frowned and said: "General Yang's withdrawal from [***] City, this and I have the same intentions, even if there is one, it is also my fault. ”

Yang Gongqing almost burst into tears, and choked up: "The last general is incompetent, and he has the trust of the saint." ”

Wang Shiwei threw his sleeves and left, but Wang Shichong got up and helped Yang Gongqing up, and sighed: "Gongqing treats me with sincerity, how can I bear it, for a small mistake, I am heavily responsible for you?" ”

Seeing that Yang Gongqing was grateful, Wang Shichong's eyes showed satisfaction, and it disappeared in an instant, and he hated: "I still underestimated Xiao Buyi!" After he said this, he felt as if he had said this when he was in the Eastern Capital, and he couldn't help but feel a little confused.

He seems to have always underestimated Xiao Buyi.

From the first time he saw Xiao Buyi, he deliberately wooed him, but he was somewhat disdainful, and then he met in Yangzhou and stole the treasure under his nose, and then there was a fiasco in the Eastern Capital.

But he also knew that every time he tried his best. He really didn't want to admit the fact that he didn't underestimate Xiao Buyi, but he was really inferior to Xiao Buyi!

Although many things, in hindsight, are not enough. But in the middle of the duel, he couldn't figure out the key to it. Every time he met Xiao Buyi, he was tied, which could no longer be described as underestimating.

In a duel between masters, one move can be fatal.

Thinking of this, Wang Shichong clenched his fists, and hatred appeared in his eyes. Yang Gongqing hurriedly said: "Holy Lord, Xiao Buyi is extremely cunning, coupled with a scheming Li Jing, the two of them joining forces are really unguardable." ”

"It's useless to talk about the past." Wang Shichong came back to his senses and said with some chagrin: "Right now, our most important task is to know what Xiao Buyi's next move is. ”

Yang Gongqing was full of decadence, and only after a while did he say: "The last general will not dare to speculate without authorization, and he will mess up the mind of the saint." ”

When Wang Shichong heard this, he couldn't help frowning, it's not terrible to lose, but I'm afraid that if I lose my confidence, it will be irreparable. He Wang Shichong has been defeated and fought repeatedly, which is what he has today, but Yang Gongqing was only defeated in the first battle, and he was afraid of Xiao Buyi and Li Jing so much, and he didn't even dare to put forward his opinions, so what was the use of him keeping Yang Gongqing?

Suppressing his displeasure, Wang Shichong looked around at a few people around him, and asked expectantly: "I don't know what suggestions you Aiqing has?" ”

Although Wang Shichong is the emperor, the civil and military officials around him are not sound, and they are even pitiful. After all, he occupies the magpie's nest, and most of Li Zitong's subordinates are scattered, except for his son Wang Xuanying, nephew Wang Xingben, and Wang Tai, what can be used are some of Yang Guang's old ministers who stayed in Jiangdu back then.

And Yu Wenhua and going north, of course, took away some talented people, and the rest of the old ministers, Wang Shichong, also looked down on them. Although he is an emperor, he has few people available at the moment.

Thinking of Xiao Buyi's current large number of soldiers, Wang Shichong couldn't help but feel sad.

Those old ministers were silent, not knowing whether they were planning for Wang Shichong or thinking of a way out for themselves.

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Prince Wang Xuanying stepped forward and said: "Father Qi, if you follow what the child has seen, Xiao Buyi will only receive Liyang, and take [***], although he has many soldiers and generals, but after all, the territory is vast and the mobilization is slow......"

Wang Xuanying talked eloquently, Wang Shichong didn't wait for him to finish, and sighed lightly, "What Wu'er said makes a lot of sense, but that's what I thought at the beginning, so I felt that Gongqing and Honglie should be fine." I didn't expect that it was just a few days of relief, which led to today's situation. The loss of the city, although for Jiangdu, less than one-tenth of the loss, but our western gateway is wide open, Jiangdu fights, and there is no shielding. ”

Wang Shichong was greatly distressed, and everyone was also uneasy, knowing that Wang Shichong would say a word about the current embarrassing situation.

Xijing, Dongdu and Jiangdu are all the land of emperors. Yang Guang's foothold in this life is mostly in these three places. But Xijing has a natural dangerous shield, and the eastern capital is also established in the place of Sisai, which can ensure that the thieves rebel and cannot alarm the Son of Heaven for a while. It is also the place where Yang Guang settled, Jiangdu is much worse, although Jiangdu is located between Huaishui and the Yangtze River, leaning on the Yangtze River, but Jiangdu has no danger to rely on.

Of course, there are other county towns in Jiangdu, but Jiangdu County is leaking on all sides, and Wang Shichong can be said to be in a position of being passively beaten.

The loss of [***] put the entire Jiangdu counties within the attack range of Xiao Buyi, which can be said to be extremely unfavorable.

A person stepped forward and said: "Qiqi Shengshang, Jiangdu is backed by the Yangtze River, in an embarrassing situation, if according to Weichen's suggestion, it is better to move the capital to Jingkou on the south bank of the Yangtze River, with the Yangtze River natural insurance, if you can get Danyang, you can plan a battle." ”

That person's name is Yuan Min, and now he is Wang Shichong's internal history order, and he is an old minister of the Sui Dynasty.

"What the fool said." One shook his head and stepped forward and said, "Holy Lord, Weichen doesn't dare to agree!" ”

When Wang Shichong saw it, it was Wang Tai, the king of Song, and frowned: "Do you have any suggestions?" ”

Wang Taikong is powerful, his blood is strong, and he said solemnly: "I think we have worked hard to take the land of Jiangdu, and I want to rely on the development here to take the land of Jianghuai." At the moment, I can't wait for a slight setback, so I want to give up Yangzhou, where are the soldiers and civilians of the sixteen counties of Jiangdu? Is it enough to move the capital to Jingkou? I don't think so! Although there is a natural danger of the Yangtze River in Jingkou, it can stand by the river, Xiao Buyi is invincible, and the sailor is also unstoppable, if they build a sailor, go south along the river, Jingkou is a lonely city, and they can only sit and wait for death. Therefore, in my opinion, if Xiao Buyi fights, we will fight, and we must not give up every inch of Jiangdu at the moment. The nephew is not talented, and he is willing to lead the troops to fight and fight with Xiao Buyi. ”

Wang Shichong pondered for a long time, and he agreed with what Wang Tai said, except for the last sentence. He has no way to retreat now, if Shen Faxing's territory is occupied by him, then it is still feasible to retreat to Jingkou, but at present, Jiangdu is his lair, give up Jiangdu, Biling County, the supply is insufficient, how can he be accommodated?

"Holy Lord, what King Song said makes a lot of sense, and my nephew has some words, I don't know if I should say it or not?" Wang Xingben stepped forward and said.

Wang Shichong became interested, "But it doesn't hurt to say it." "Wang Xingben and Wang Honglie are brothers, both sons of Wang Shiwei. Wang Honglie is strong, but Wang Xingben is elegant.

"Xiao Buyi and Li Jing's use of soldiers is really strange." Wang Xingben said with a straight face: "Their surprise attack on Honglie was really unexpected. According to what General Yang and I know, the combined strength of Xiao Buyi and Li Jing should not be more than a few thousand, which shows that what the prince said is very reasonable. Although Xiao Buyi's power is strong, his territory is too large, and although he can mobilize millions of soldiers, he has the biggest problem of traveling long distances, and if there is a large army marching, the slow speed is his biggest problem. ”

Wang Shichong nodded and said, "What Xingben said makes a lot of sense, but so what? The implication of his words is that no matter how slow he is, Xiao Buyi really wants to fight, and he can crawl.

"In my opinion, they are relying on nothing more than the world-famous ironclad cavalry. Xiao Buyi established an ironclad cavalry and was invincible, but in order to be elite, there were not many of them. Although the iron cavalry is brave, it is extremely difficult to say that it is extremely difficult to attack the city. At present, there are two places that are attacked by him head-on, one is Jiangdu and the other is Yongfu. Our top priority at the moment is to immediately send troops to aid Yongfu, and then go deep into the ditch and high stronghold, avoid it, and stalemate with Xiao Buyi for a period of time to see the situation. ”

"Is there a chance to win a stalemate?" Neishi made Wonmin dissatisfied.

Wang Xingben smiled slightly, "If we are the only ones in the world who fight Xiao Buyi, we really don't have any chance at all." ”

Wang Shichong's face changed slightly, but he couldn't help but admit that what Wang Xingben said was very right.

Wang Xingben said again: "You must know that Xiao Buyi divides his troops to fight, and he has to face more than just the Huainan Army. All we can do now is to persevere, maybe the Hebei Army and the Xujia Army will have a chance to win, and even Guanzhong may send troops, and then our opportunity will come. Therefore, he must not be allowed to come to the city of Jiangdu, at that time, the people's hearts were lost, and the general trend was really gone. In addition to immediately aiding Vinh Phuc, we must also unite with Shen Faxing to attack Xiao Buyi's territory on the south bank of the Yangtze River, and we can even consider temporarily giving up part of the occupied land. ”

"No way!" Wang Xuanying shook his head and said, "How can you spit out the occupied? To grovel like that, absolutely not. ”

Wang Shichong hesitated for a long time, and then said: "What Xingben said is very reasonable, and the matter of aiding Yongfu will be done by the Minister and Xingben." As for the matter of uniting with Shen Faxing, I will think about it for a few more days before making a decision! Stand aside for now. ”

Everyone listened to the order to retreat, and Wang Shichong sat alone on the imperial throne, looking at the sunset, with a trace of tiredness in his hateful eyes.

**

The soldiers are very fast, and every time Xiao Buyi thinks of this sentence, he has a different understanding. When Wang Shichong and others discussed aiding Yongfu and fighting against Xiao Buyi, Xiao Buyi had already arrived outside Yongfu City.

However, he took hundreds of people and more than 10,000 troops to Vinh Phuc, and it still took another day.

In the late spring, in order to meet Xiao Buyi's requirements, Li Jing asked the army to keep everything simple and only bring two days of rations, which made Xiao Buyi somewhat pressured. Li Jing's meaning is very simple, if Yongfu cannot be taken within two days, then it is necessary to consider withdrawing troops. Or they should not say two days, but they should say that they can't get Yongfu in one day, and they have to think about withdrawing, because they need rations for their return.

No important surname in the army is less than food, and without rations, more than 10,000 troops can collapse in one fell swoop.

Of course, if Yongfu is taken, everything is negotiable, after all, every city has a large amount of grain and grass, which can be fed by war.

Of course, Xiao Buyi understands this, so he also smiled a little bitterly, because only Li Jing will let him do anything, but only Li Jing will implicitly remind him of the crisis in front of him.

Wang Shichong is not a fool, and after losing [***], it is possible to launch a crazy counterattack.

In the current situation, it is not a good idea to go head-to-head. Xiao Buyi looked at Yongfu City in the distance, still pondering.

Although the current situation is urgent, although it is said that the West Mountain is falling, Xiao Buyi is still not in a hurry to attack the city. Because he knows that he will definitely not be able to take the hard attack, let alone a day, even if he is given a month, he will not dare to pat his chest and pack the ticket. Li Jing was right, luring them out was the only way to take the city at the moment.

But how to lure the enemy? It's a conundrum.

Xiao Buyi actually had a plan, but he didn't know whether the opponent could take the bait.

Yongfu City was guarded by two main generals, one was the Lang general Tang Zhijie, and the other was the partial general Liu Yongtong. Tang Zhijie is cautious, and Liu Yongtong is greedy for merit, so Xiao Buyi is looking forward to it that he can take advantage of Liu Yongtong's weakness of greed.

In fact, the operation to take the city has begun this morning.

Although the gates were closed before night, it was not difficult to enter during the day. Before attacking Wang Honglie, Xiao Buyi had ordered ants to infiltrate Yongfu, and they had only one mission, to spread rumors.

Now Xiao Buyi believes that there must be a news spread all over the city that the king of Western Liang has conquered the city of [***], and has marched dozens of miles to the east, forcing the Iron Kip Fort.

The Iron Kip Fort is in the northwest corner of Yongfu City for dozens of miles, and it was originally opposite the horn of Yongfu City.

It is precisely because of hearing this news that the gates of Yongfu City are closed at the moment, and they are cautious, just afraid that the king of Xiliang will take advantage of the chaos to kill.

When Xiao Buyi thought of this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and when he saw that Lu Laosan had arrived in a hurry, he asked, "Are you all ready?" ”

Lu Laosan nodded and said, "Everything is according to the orders of King Xiliang, but this kid is indeed a little difficult to find." Well, it's also more difficult to coax, everyone is a man, so I had to find my mother together, and it took a lot of effort. ”

Xiao Buyi said: "In extraordinary times, do extraordinary things, when the time comes, just make up for their money, remember." ”

Lu Laosan promised, "When will we start acting?" ”

Xiao Buyi said: "In order to hide their whereabouts, the army is still resting dozens of miles away, so I will let them set off on the first shift and arrive on the third watch." You can prepare for the second watch, and when you are close to the third watch, you will start to act. Success or failure is in this move, if this plan can't be done, Tianming will evacuate, and then seek other plans. ”

Lu Laosan grinned, he had already retreated, Xiao Buyi stretched his waist, and said to himself: "Just wait for the third watch." ”

At the time of the third watch, outside Yongfu City, it was very quiet, insects chirping, Xiao Buyi stared at Yongfu City, and got the news that the army had arrived and could launch an attack at any time.

By nightfall, the army could not be seen from the top of the city. But he watched vigilantly the movement under the city. Suddenly, there was a noise outside the city, mixed with the cries of children, the cries of donkeys, and the grunting of carts.

The city soldiers noticed the movement, did not dare to slack off, and went to inform Tang Zhijie and Liu Yongtong early. But the people of the city have already shouted, "Please open the gates of the city quickly, and let me wait to enter the city." ”

The city soldiers were eyeing and ignoring it, and the baby cried for a while, which made people sad. Tang Zhijie and Liu Yongtong came almost at the same time, but they didn't dare to slack off because of the extraordinary moment.

The two of them walked up to the city, and when they saw that the city was in chaos, they couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter?" ”

The city soldiers hurriedly said, "The people from nowhere have come and begged us to open the door." ”

The second general frowned, the noise floated out, and when it reached Xiao Buyi's ears, Xiao Buyi's mouth showed an elusive smile, and he touched the spear on the saddle, in the dark night, like a tiger, waiting for the reaction in the city!.
