This night was extremely long for Zhu Cang, because from the moment the ironclad soldiers rushed to the camp, he was tormented, like sitting on pins and needles.

This night was also extremely short for Zhu Cang, from the moment he was hit by the arrow and fell into the river, his life seemed to have come to an end.

Sharp arrows pierced through his vest, pierced out of his foreheart, and blood was like a fountain, how could he not die?

Zhu Cang flew up from his horse, and the moment he landed on the Han River, the bandits saw it clearly, and immediately the volley jumped into the air, and the moment the dragon was in the air, the group of thieves was shocked. Zhu Cang is both the leader and the devil in their hearts, he eats human flesh, and it is cruel to use women and children as military food, but it is because of cruelty that all living beings are afraid, and they feel that even the devil is nothing more than that, and the devil is naturally invincible, so he follows. But even this devil-like character can't withstand the blow of the gods.

The general in the air is like a swimming dragon, and the power of shooting an arrow is already very similar to Zhang Xutuo, very similar to the Zhang Xutuo who fought all over the north and south of the river, invincible in martial arts, and invincible in battle!

Who is this person? This person is Xiao Buyi? This person is Xiao Buyi, the general of the right Xiaowei of the Great Sui who broke through the banks of the Yellow River, blocked the Turks, attacked the mountains and flies, broke the tile gang, and shocked the Huaibei bandits?

Xiao Buyi himself may not know that what he has done in the past two years is very legendary, and it has been passed down by the people of the north and south to trade, and it has long been passed on like a god, and his prestige is no less than that of Zhang Xutuo.

This battle to chase Zhu Cang is nothing, but in the eyes of these many people, killing Zhu Cang with one arrow is really the act of the gods.

When all the thieves were in shock, Xiao Buyi had already fallen on the horse, galloped to the side of the bridge, flew up again, fell to the side of the bridge, shouted, the long knife was put away as soon as it came out, and the wooden bridge had collapsed!

The group of thieves on the bridge screamed loudly, and they had fallen towards the Han River with the collapsed wooden bridge, and they fell into the water with a bang, and they were submerged by the water of the Han River in an instant.

The thieves by the river shouted, and said to themselves, "Oh my mother, how is this a person?" The many people were on the bridge, and the wooden bridge was all safe, and this man stomped on the wooden bridge, and King Kong was reborn like this.

Everyone fled for their lives, but Xiao Buyi stopped chasing, turned over on his horse, and stared at the surging Han River, his eyes were complicated.

The wooden bridge was a little shabby, but it was by no means something he could stomp on with one kick, but the steel knife he held was unusually sharp, and it was half a foot longer than an ordinary waist knife. In addition, he has been diligent in cultivating Yi Jian for a long time, and his strength is so strong that he broke the wooden bridge by stepping on it.

However, he was extremely fast, and everyone only saw his powerful kick, but they ignored his long knife, and on the way to flee for their lives, Xiao Buyi was left with the impression that Xiao Buyi was like a god.

Xiao Buyi's long knife was made of Qi Wugong cloth and secretly transported from the grassland.

Although it is not a peerless sword, it can be called a rare blade in this era.

Qi Wugongbu is worthy of being a master craftsman, not only making sharp blades, but also taking into account the characteristics of cavalry, casting this unique elongated saber, which is immediately wielded sharply, even if it is a horse fight, it is not bad.

Xiao Buyi originally had a treasure knife, which was taken from the hands of Gao Junya in Taiyuan City, and later when he was chased and killed by Zhang Xutuo, the treasure knife was broken.

This night was also very tragic for him, he and Xu Shiji, after Zhou Muru detected the enemy's situation and turned around, he noticed that the enemy's rear camp was empty, and the defense was useless, Xu Shiji quickly formulated an attack strategy, but waited for two days.

According to Xu Shiji's point of view, it was extremely difficult for Zhu Cang to conquer Xiangyang City, but he attacked a little more, and when Xiao Buyi went to relieve the siege, the people of Xiangyang City would be more grateful to Xiao Buyi, and the resistance he encountered in obtaining Xiangyang City would be smaller. Besides, Zhu Cang's group of thieves were tired from fighting for a long time, and they were all one point more sure of conquering them in one go.

Xu Shiji's reason is extremely simple and thorough, but Zhou Muru does not agree with it, and he is not happy, but he still listens to Xiao Buyi's opinion, he hopes that Xiao Buyi can save Xiangyang immediately as before, but Xiao Buyi respects Xu Shiji's arrangement.

Xiao Buyi knew Zhou Muru's dissatisfaction, but he was helpless.

He already knew the ruthlessness of the battlefield, since the general went to the battlefield, either you died or I died, and there was absolutely no human affection to talk about. What Xu Shiji did was for the sake of his Xiao Buyi, which is understandable.

Of course, you can also be humane on the battlefield, but the most direct consequence is at the cost of heavy losses to your men.

In troubled times, any human favor is less important than the strength you have in your hands.

Xiao Buyi also wanted to relieve Xiangyang Yu as soon as possible, but he couldn't easily bet with the power he had accumulated.

He does things secretly, and now after Li Jing's training, he can use only more than 1,000 soldiers, these soldiers are the foundation of his survival in the troubled times, of course, he is not willing to be easily damaged.

Xu Shiji analyzed the general trend of the world for Xiao Buyi, and set the strategy of seizing Xiangyang, taking Jiangnan, and marching into the Central Plains. When Xiao Buyi and Li Jing were together, Li Jing had already analyzed the strength of the bandits in the world for him.

Although there are tens of thousands of bandits at every turn, most of them are rabble, and many people put down their hoes and pick up guns, and put down spatulas to hold knives. Although Xiao Buyi only has thousands of people in his hands, there are more than 1,000 cavalry, well-equipped, and when they are all in one place, it is already a very amazing strength.

Now that the Central Plains is full of smoke, frequent battles, and the Turkic trade channel is cut off, it is extremely difficult to find a good horse and a war horse. If Xiao Buyi wants to become bigger, no matter his background, strength, and prestige are indispensable, most of the bandits are from peasant families, although they are disturbing the country of the Great Sui, but if they really fight for the world, in all fairness, even Li Jing does not recognize that they will win the world.

In this era, after all, the concept of the family is extremely heavy, Li Shanfei, Zhai Rang, Li Zitong, Du Fuwei, Zhu Cang and others are from low backgrounds in the eyes of everyone, but they are still bandits, they are not really destined to be the sons of heaven, and they are not favored by the high-ranking men of the gate lord clan, even if they overthrow the Great Sui and support the new master, they must find a person who can represent their interests, these mud legs are certainly not their favorite objects.

But Xiao Buyi is also a choice for the gate lord clan Gaomen. First of all, his prestige is unparalleled for a while, and once again his identity is also a declining nobleman, coupled with Yuan Lan's secret indulgence and propaganda, he is surnamed Xiao, a descendant of Xiliang, which is enough for the gate lord clan to consider supporting it.

But the above is still far from enough, he must have his own strength, taking Xiangyang is a very important step for him, and there is no room for loss.

Staring at the rolling waters of the Han River, Xiao Buyi knew that he had changed a lot, and if it was in the past, he might have let the bandits flee for their lives, although they followed cannibalism and did all kinds of evil. But now, whether it is to establish prestige or to eliminate evil, he must kick this foot. The water of the Han River is constantly flowing, and some of the bandits on the river swim to both banks, and some sink to the bottom of the river, and the ups and downs are like Xiao Buyi's mood at the moment.

A horse galloped over, but it was Hu Biao who arrived quickly, he has always been Sun Shaofang's subordinate, and now he is born and died with Xiao Buyi, although he is silent, but he can be regarded as a friend of life and death.

"General Xiao, General Xu, please act according to the plan, General Pei and Sun Qinwei have already followed Dou Zhong to deceive the city gate, and asked General Xiao to join forces with General Xu earlier."

Xiao Buyi pondered for a moment, got on his horse and waved his gun, and galloped first, and when the three hundred soldiers saw Xiao Buyi's order, they followed behind him, not in a hurry.

Hu Biao looked at Xiao Buyi with admiration, and didn't dare to say anything more.

Xiao Buyi secretly thought about the plan set by Xu Shiji, but he was only uneasy.

So far, the plan can only be said to have taken the first step, and the expulsion of the bandit Zhu Cang is the first step to enter Xiangyang, and whether or not Zhu Cang can be shot is not a matter of the plan. Xu Shiji attacked, Xiao Buyi responded, and Pei Xingyan took the Yiyang sergeant to make a suspicious plan near Hanshui. expelled the bandit Zhu Cang, and then the second step was Dou Zhong to deceive and open the city gate, of course, Dou Zhong was not necessarily willing, Pei Xingyan has been watching Dou Zhong, not abandoning or leaving, Pei Xingyan and Sun Shaofang, and most of the guards with strong martial arts are around Dou Zhong, just waiting to enter the city, or let all the soldiers enter the city, or wait for the opportunity to kill Dou Yi and seize Xiangyang City, as long as the city gate is opened, the inside and outside should be combined, Xiangyang City can be said to be at your fingertips. Although Dou Yi is benevolent and righteous, he is incapable of occupying a good place, and sometimes he is also synonymous with fat, everyone is staring at this benevolence and righteousness, Zhu Cang is drooling, and Xu Shiji is no exception.

But after all, this is inconsistent with Xiao Buyi's original surname, but except for Zhou Muru, Pei Xingyan, Sun Shaofang, Xu Shiji, and Pei Bei, including Pei Bei, Xiao Buyi saw that everyone was looking forward to it, so he didn't object, he knew that he had been slowly assimilated by this era.

When I arrived near the south gate of Xiangyang City, I saw a mountain of corpses and bones, and there were dead flags and dead horses everywhere, broken guns and broken knives, which was quite desolate. Xu Shiji led the troops to wait far away, and when he saw Xiao Buyi coming, he said in a low voice: "Boss Xiao, there are cheers in the city, and they all have a good impression of the reinforcements. Dou Yi has already opened the city gate, Shaofang Xingyan followed in, relying on Xingyan's skills, plus a group of guards, it shouldn't be a problem. ”

Xiao Buyi just nodded and sighed softly, but Xu Shiji smiled, turned his head to stare at the city gate, and secretly thought that Pei Bei was right, Xiao Buyi's mother-in-law, the benevolence of women, sometimes the competition for the world is like this, bad people have to be killed, and good people have to be killed. What he did to Zhang Jin was heartbreaking, but when he heard that Dou Yi had a benevolent name, he hesitated. However, he still proceeds from the general trend, and it is not easy to have this attitude now.

Originally, you could choose one between attacking the city and being invited into the city, but Xu Shiji, for the sake of safety, still stood still and prepared to let Dou Yi invite him to the city.

Although what Xu Shiji said was affirmative, he was not very sure after all, he just stared at the city gate, just waiting for Pei Xingyan to open the city gate and rush in if they didn't talk properly!

The name of benevolence and righteousness kills people, Xu Shiji said secretly.

As for Dou Zhong, Xu Shiji doesn't have to worry about him changing his hexagram in battle, some people are born timid and afraid of death, no matter what, they can't be changed.

**

Pei Xingyan had already arrived in the city at this time, and when he arrived at the county guard's mansion, some officials hugged him, but he was not prestigious.

However, the general of this line is still Dou Zhong, and Pei Xingyan can only be regarded as an entourage. After Xu Shiji attacked Zhu Cang, Pei Xingyan took Sun Shaofang and a group of guards, ostensibly escorting Dou Zhong, but escorting Dou Zhong to open the city gate.

Dou Yi didn't seem suspicious at all, and came out to greet a group of officials in the city, and took everyone to the county guard's mansion.

On both sides of the road, the people cheered and warmly welcomed the arrival of reinforcements.

The gloomy clouds and mist of a few days ago have disappeared, just now the yellow dragon is rolling, the reinforcements are coming, and the farts and urine flow of Zhu Cang have long been spread by word of mouth among the people.

But who the reinforcements are, many people don't know, some of the people know Dou Zhong, saying that it is too shou Dou Yi's brother, sure enough, there are no dogs in the gate, Dou Yi is honest and honest, and his younger brother is also mighty and majestic. didn't know that Dou Zhong was timid and afraid of death, and he didn't have any honesty and integrity, and Dou Yi didn't look like a mother at all.

Dou Zhong raised his head with his chest straight, really accepting the cheers of the people like a hero, but he inadvertently squinted at Pei Xingyan's iron-plated face, and beat a drum in his heart. He had vaguely guessed what Pei Xingyan was going to do, but the cowardice in his heart made him dare not warn, and a few days ago, Pei Xingyan poured him a few pills, saying what it was called the Pill of Breaking the Intestines and Splitting the Liver, and he was scared just by hearing the name, not to mention eating it in his stomach. His stomach has always had a faint pain these days, and he is afraid that he will die of poison, and he does not dare to act rashly.

Dou Yi's face was full of smiles, and when he arrived at the county guard's mansion, without waiting for anything to say, Kong Shao'an had already suggested: "Lord County Guard, I saw that the elite soldiers brought by the virtuous brother are still stationed outside the city, they have come from afar, and their hard work is high, the county guard should invite them to the city for a while." ”

Dou Zhong's heart skipped another beat, he just wanted to shout out, this was luring the wolf into the room.

But when the words came to his lips, he actually became, "What Master Kong said is very true, and the eldest brother needs to invite the elite soldiers to the city to entertain them." ”

Dou Yi sat down slowly, frowned lightly, and said in a deep voice: "Fourth brother, you and I both know the roots, and I don't know how much weight you have." I don't know where the elite soldiers come from, this kind of strength, I'm afraid that even if General Zhang comes, it will not be too much. ”

Dou Zhong's mouth opened a few times, and he coughed: "This is, this is ......"

Pei Xingyan clenched his fists, and Sun Shaofang glanced at each other, both of them seeing the murderous aura in each other's eyes.

Although this Dou Yi is just a civilian official, and he can't lead troops, his shrewdness is obviously much stronger than Dou Zhong, if he sees the flaws and insists on not letting everyone enter the city, the two can only strike first, hold Dou Yi hostage, and force them to open the city.

Fortunately, Dou Yi didn't seem suspicious, and he was also a civilian official by his side, but he stopped all the captains out of the door. The two of them estimated the situation, conceited their martial arts, and then looked at the manpower in the hall, and felt that they could catch Dou Yi before he escaped, but they were not in a hurry to strike first.

Kong Shao'an looked at Dou Zhong with a strange look, "Lord Dou, don't you even know which elite soldier is?" ”

He was just joking, laughing good-naturedly, and so were the officials around him. The bandits subsided, and everyone relaxed a little, no matter which way the elite soldiers were in their hearts, it was better than Zhu Cang.

Dou Yi also laughed, "What's wrong with the fourth brother's throat, in fact, I know which elite soldier is!" ”

Everyone was surprised, but Dou Yi's eyes had already fallen on Pei Xingyan's body, and he said softly: "This general must be surnamed Pei, Lingzun Pei Renji guards the tiger prison and guards the lifeline of the Great Sui, the tiger father has no dogs, General Pei and General Xiao went east to break the tile gang, hit the supreme king, prestigious, brave and invincible, Zhu Cang is of course also vulnerable to the two generals." ”

**

Dou Yi's voice landed, and the crowd was terrified, Pei Xingyan's expression remained unchanged, but he breathed a long sigh of relief. In his memory, he has never met Dou Yi, Dou Yi knows him, so he has failed?

After thinking about it, I felt that something was wrong, Xiao Buyi was a wanted criminal, presumably all the counties and counties along the Huaishui had issued graphic wanted documents, but he had already asked in Yiyang County, there was absolutely no him Pei Xingyan on the picture and text wanted, Xu Shiji and Xiao Buyi were relieved to let him enter the city, but how did Dou Yi recognize him?

Pei Xingyan's expression did not move, but Kong Shaoan was surprised: "Your Excellency is General Pei Xingyan?" ”

Dou Yi laughed, "General Pei doesn't want to repay his kindness, most of the time, even after the siege of Xiangyang is lifted, he just wants to leave without leaving his name, but since the old man knows, then you can't leave categorically." ”

Pei Xingyan pondered his words, guarded in his heart, but smiled on his face, "Dou Jun guards his eyesight." ”

Sun Shaofang looked around, only afraid that there would be county lieutenants around him to attack, and since he was recognized, he would capture Dou Yi first.

Hearing Pei Xingyan's admission, Dou Yi was a little surprised: "So General Xiao is outside the city?" ”

The officials twitched slightly, or excited, or admired, or uneasy, or questioned, and their expressions varied...... Dou Zhong's face was bitter, and he secretly shouted badly, for Xiao Buyi, but also for himself, he remembered that this wanted document was transmitted to Xiangyang by him, Xiao Buyi's handling was very secretive, no one knew why Xiao Buyi was convicted, and he was more inexplicable about the wanted him, but he had to obey the holy decree.

Pei Xingyan has been thinking, how would Xu Shiji answer if he was here? He wanted to take action to restrain Dou Yi, but there was no hostility in his attitude.

"General Xiao is outside the city, so what?" Pei Xingyan finally said.

Dou Yi sighed lightly, "Since General Xiao is outside the city, of course the old man has to go to greet him in person, is there anyone who will object?" ”

All the officials shook their heads and said, "General Xiao is famous and came to rescue Xiangyang City in person, of course no one will object to taking him into the city." ”

"Is General Xiao here, that's great, with General Xiao here, forgive the bandits for not daring to come here again."

Some people muttered, secretly thinking that Xiao Buyi no longer seemed to be a general, and he seemed to have an awkward quarrel with the saint. However, now that the traffic is cut off and bandits are rampant, many things cannot be confirmed, so they can only make promises.

Dou Yi took Pei Xingyan's hand and stood up, and said with a smile: "Since there is no objection, please also ask General Pei to take me to see General Xiao, Xiangyang City is guarded by General Xiao, and the people of Xiangyang are worry-free." ”

Pei Xingyan stood up slowly, and without waiting for a step, a voice shouted: "I object." ”

Immediately followed by the sound of kicking footsteps, a person in front of the hall, holding the hilt of a knife, followed by dozens of guards, all staring at each other, with solemn faces.

All the officials knew that the person in front of the hall was called Shangguan Zong, who was originally a captain in Xiangyang City, and he was usually unknown, but he didn't expect to bring troops out today, and he couldn't help but look at each other.

Dou Yi frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Shangguan Zong, what are you going to do, don't you want to rebel?" ”

Shangguan Zong sneered: "I'm just afraid that it's Lord Dou who wants to rebel, right?" ”

Kong Shaoan reprimanded: "Captain Shangguan, why did you say this? General Xiao is famous, and now that he has solved the predicament of Xiangyang, Lord Dou just wants to take him into the city, is this also a rebellion? It's a ridiculous joke! ”

All the masters, Guang Cao, and Gong Cao all shouted: "Shangguan Zong, quickly tell the guards to retreat, you are just a captain, you actually waved a knife at the county guard, what kind of system do you want, do you want to rebel?" ”

These people reprimanded one after another, but they didn't dare to step forward, they were all civilian officials, and Shangguan was followed by dozens of guards, which stumped the officials.

Shangguan Zong sneered, stretched out his hand and pointed at Kong Shao'an and said: "Master Kong, as the imperial court inspector of the imperial history, you were originally inspecting the rebellion of various counties and counties, don't you know that Xiao Buyi was originally a prisoner of the imperial court?" Dou Yi deliberately ignored Xiao Buyi's charges, and openly went to welcome the Qin prisoners into the city, which is no different from rebellion. ”

Kong Shao'an was surprised: "General Xiao is a prisoner of the imperial court, why don't I know?" ”

Some of the officials were clear, some were confused, and they were all silent, not knowing which side to believe. But at this time, you can't take a wrong step, otherwise it will easily cause death.

Shangguan Zong sneered: "It's understandable that Lord Kong doesn't know, because Lord Dou has already blocked this news, so you don't know." Xiao Buyi was ordered to suppress the bandits in Xiapi, but he plotted to rebel, and General Zhang hunted and killed, but let him slip through the net. The wanted official document has long been issued to all counties and counties, and Lord Dou has already received the official document, but it has been kept secret. At that time, I felt that Lord Dou had a problem, so I kept paying attention to it, but Zhu Cang came to attack soon after, so I put this matter aside. Today, Lord Dou asked the school captain to stay outside the door, but he took the deceived officials to pick up Xiao Buyi and enter the city, it goes without saying that his heart can be punished. ”

The officials looked at each other, all uneasy.

You must know that in the counties of the Sui Dynasty, except for the county guard, the county officer, the county lieutenant, and the county commander were appointed by the officials, the rest of the Guangcao, the main book, Gong Cao, Xi Cao and others were all appointed by the county guard or the county commander himself.

This is the only thing that Dou Zhong can buy and sell officials and cronyism.

Dou Yi is the county guard of Xiangyang City, and the officials in this hall are basically appointed by him, and he can be regarded as a cronie. But the Great Sui was afraid of the rebellion of the hundred officials, so the school captain's office and the county guards were self-contained, and they controlled each other, the county guards were under the control of the Ministry of Officials, but the school captain was under the control of the Ministry of War, but Kong Shao'an's supervision of the imperial history was subordinate to the Imperial History Observatory, and the departments were different, and they were also set up to supervise the mistakes of the hundred officials and guard against rebellion. Dou Zhong, as the county guard of Yiyang County, originally had the most rights, and he was in collusion with the soldiers of the foreign government, buying and selling officials, but he was bought by Xiao Buyi and Yuan Lan to buy the captain of the foreign army, which was a success in one fell swoop, but now that Shangguan is in charge of the elite soldiers of the foreign government, even Dou Yi is helpless to take him.

If it is really according to what Shangguan Zong said, Dou Yi is indeed suspected of rebellion, and the officials are worried in their hearts, but they are grateful for Dou Yi's promotion, but they are in a hurry but there is no way.

Shangguan Zong saw that everyone was silent, quite proud, sneered, took out the holy decree from his bosom and said: "The holy purpose is to accept the decree of all officials." ”

Some of the officials knelt down, and some stood and looked around, but Dou Yi stood still, his eyes rolled, and he glanced at Pei Xingyan, secretly anxious.

Shangguan Zong saw that Dou Yi did not kneel, shook his head and said: "Dou Yi, it seems that you are determined to rebel, and it doesn't matter if you kneel or not." The holy decree said that the captain and the official had a secret decree to monitor the officials in Xiangyang, and they could act cheaply, and if there was a rebellion, they should be killed. ”

After receiving the holy decree, Shangguan snorted coldly: "Dou Yi, you still don't admit your guilt now?" ”

Seeing Pei Xingyan's calmness, Dou Yi felt a little relieved, and said in a deep voice: "If you say the holy will, the holy will, I still have a secret will." ”

He stretched out his hand and took it out of his arms, and actually took out the same secret decree as Shangguan Zong, and unfolded it and read: "The holy decree says, the county guard Dou Yi has a secret decree and monitors the guards of the Xiangyang Foreign Mansion, but he can act cheaply, and if there is a rebellion, he should be killed." Shangguan Zong, Xiangyang City has expelled the bandits, and all kinds of waste are waiting to be revived, I think you are now holding the officials hostage and committing chaos, and your heart can be punished! ”

Everyone was surprised, Dou Yi's secret decree was almost the same as Shangguan Zong, but it was just a different name, and they didn't know which one was right.

Shangguan Zong laughed angrily and said, "Okay, you Dou Yi, now you have another charge of forging the holy decree." ”

Dou Yi turned his head to look at Pei Xingyan and said, "General Pei, who do you say is right and which is wrong?" ”

Pei Xingyan has been watching coldly, no matter how he looks at it, he looks like he is going to rebel, not like he is playing with Shangguan Zong. Could it be that Boss Xiao is really so prestigious, even the county guards of Xiangyang have the heart to join him?

But it's a good decision now, after all, Dou Yi wants to welcome Xiao Buyi into the city, and he will join forces with Dou Yi first.

"In the end, I know exactly who is right and who is wrong." Pei Xingyan said hesitantly: "General Xiao's military achievements are impressive, his prestige is far and wide, it is inevitable that there will be small malicious slander, Shangguan Zong, you are guilty of rebellion, the county guard is tolerant, but I can't spare you." ”

Before he finished speaking, he had already strode forward, and in an instant, he was in front of Shangguan Column, and the blades in the hands of the guards were nothing.

Although Shangguan Zong also knew Pei Xingyan's prestige, he always felt that it was inevitable that it would be untrue to spread falsehoods. Although he suspected Dou Yi of the opposite, he didn't expect that he was going to meet Xiao Buyi soon, and secretly thought that Xiao Buyi's elite soldiers would enter the city, and the general trend would be gone. In a hurry, he recruited dozens of loyal guards, and asked people to transfer troops, just wanting to capture Dou Yiqun's officials, control the situation in Xiangyang City, and keep Xiao Buyi out. But he never dreamed that under Pei Xing's prestige, his martial arts were also so strong, and his heart was awe-inspiring, and he shouted loudly and pulled out his knife to cut it.

His sword is powerful, and his martial arts are really not bad, but he didn't expect Pei Xingyan to avoid his knife just by slightly sideways. Shangguan Zong didn't wait to make another move, he was already grabbed by Pei Xingyan's wrist, but with a twist, Shangguan Zong couldn't hold back his strength and turned his body upside down.

Pei Xingyan made a move like electricity, grabbed Shangguan Zong's waist in an instant, and with a hey, raised Shangguan Zong, and then fell, and his knees followed out.

only heard the sound of 'click', Shangguan Zong screamed miserably, his spine had been broken into two, blood spurted out, the faces of the officials changed greatly, and a few of them were crumbling, and they looked like they were about to faint.

Pei Xingyan waved his hand, and Shangguan Zong, who was broken in two, had already flown out, and all the guards saw Shangguan Zong's move, and they all stepped forward, where did they think that the battle would end so quickly, some people couldn't dodge and were smashed to the ground, and when they saw Shangguan Zong dead, their eyes were still wide open, and they were all screaming in fear.

Two of them were slightly taller, bypassing Shangguan Zong's corpse and slashing at him with a knife.

Pei Xingyan had already snatched Shangguan Zong's single knife in his hand, and 'Dangdang' held two knives, and he would cut it with his backhand.

He shot violently and quickly, the two of them didn't have time to dodge, they had already been cut down to the ground by him, some of the guards had stopped, and another person rushed up without knowing whether he was alive or dead, Pei Xingyan roared, and the single knife came out again, with a 'bang' sound, the person was not in a hurry to dodge, he was cut from the right shoulder to the left rib, half of his body flew out, and the intestines of Bai Huahua flew out with red blood, but the lower half was slowly planted.

The guards stopped in shock, and the frightened ones retreated again and again, and some of the timid ones had vomited, and the master of the book had fainted and fell to the ground, unconscious. Those who didn't faint also wanted to vomit, this kind of tragic cruelty is really something that many people have only seen in their lives, and the smell of blood came, and everyone was worried. Dou Zhong had already fallen to the ground, but he was glad in his heart, secretly thinking that these people killed people without blinking, and it was definitely not a lie. It's good that I obey their orders, otherwise I will probably end up with Shangguan.

Sun Shaofang had already taken more than a dozen personal guards to control the four corners of the hall, on the one hand, he joined hands with Pei Xingyan, but on the other hand, he was afraid that the officials would escape. He had seen Pei Xingyan's fierceness a long time ago, but he didn't think it was strange, but he just sighed that it was no wonder that Xiao Buyi had to go to Pei Xingyan even if he was in danger, and this Pei Xingyan was just somewhere else, but this kind of means is rarely reached.

Pei Xingyan knew that at this moment, he should make a decision and kill people, if it caused a mutiny by the guards, it would probably be difficult to clean up.

He was thick and fine, and his attack was extremely ruthless, but he just wanted to capture the guards, and he was splashed with blood, and he didn't wipe it, and said in a deep voice: "Shangguan has committed rebellion and conspiracy to rebel, and he has been ambushed." Lord Dou knew that you were blindly obedient, and he abandoned his weapons and surrendered, and he would not be held accountable. ”

Dou Yi also held back the shock in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "General Pei is right, as long as you put down your blade, this official will definitely not be held accountable for the crime of rebellion." ”

When the guards saw that Shangguan Zong was dead, they were all out of proportion, and when they heard this, they threw down their swords and said: "Lord Dou, I will listen to Shangguan Zong's bewitchment for a while, and under blind obedience, I also ask your lord to forgive me." ”

Footsteps sounded outside, and another person rushed in with troops, and the officers knew that it was Captain Qin Mingyang, and they were shocked when they saw that there were hundreds of people behind him.

Qin Mingyang rushed in, and without waiting for anything to say, he suddenly glanced at Shangguan Zong on the ground, and his face changed greatly.

Dou Yi said in a deep voice: "Captain Qin, Shangguan has committed a rebellion and falsely preached the holy decree, and has been killed by General Pei on the spot, do you know that he conspired to rebel and came to protect him?" ”

Qin Mingyang's eyes rolled, and he arched his hand and said: "Lord Dou is right, the lower officials heard that the upper officials rebelled, so they summoned the soldiers to rush to arrive, but fortunately, the adults are fine." ”

Pei Xingyan retreated to Dou Yi's side, "Lord Dou, the bandits have been driven out, the rebellion has been quelled, and Lord Dou is also invited to welcome General Xiao into the city and appease the people of Xiangyang." ”

Dou Yi smiled and said, "That's exactly how it should be." ”

**

Xiao Buyi and Xu Shiji were both waiting outside the city, and they were only uneasy in their hearts.

Hard attack and clever capture are two different strategies, there are gains and losses, Xu Shiji chose to take advantage of or take care of Xiao Buyi's emotions, but now he regrets a little that he didn't rush in when he opened the city.

Up to now, there has been no movement in the city, and no one knows what happened to Pei Xingyan and Sun Shaofang.

Although I know that the two of them are not bad at martial arts, after all, they are other people's territory, and it is not so easy to make waves.

"There is movement at the gates." Xiao Buyi said suddenly.

Xu Shiji's spirits perked up, he raised his eyes to look over, and saw the city gate 'creaking' open, and was about to wave his troops forward, Xiao Buyi stretched out his hand to hold it, and said in a low voice: "Wait a minute." ”

The city gate opened, and the officials poured out, and the first person was Dou Yi, and next to him was Pei Xingyan, who was covered in blood, Sun Shaofang. Dou Yi smiled and shouted, "General Xiao is here?" ”

Xu Shiji said in a low voice: "Oops......"

Xiao Buyi's eyes were sharp, and he had already seen Pei Xingyan nodding his head, and said in a low voice: "Shiji, don't be in a hurry to do it, just adapt to the situation." ”

He rode out first, jumped off the horse, and slowly walked in front of Dou Yi, "Lord Dou, Xiao Buyi is here." ”

Dou Yi took two steps forward, gave a deep salute, and said respectfully: "The incompetence of the lower officials caused the bandits to besiege Xiangyang, and General Xiao saved the people of Xiangyang City from fire and water. He also asked General Xiao to lead the army into Xiangyang to ensure the peace of the people in Xiangyang City, and the officials were grateful. ”

Not only was Xiao Buyi stunned, but even Xu Shiji was a little surprised, and the result of his heart was very different from what the two expected.

Pei Xingyan said on the side: "Lord Dou is sincere, there are guards in the city who rebelled, and they want to cooperate with Zhu Cangli, and I have joined forces with Lord Dou to quell the rebellion, and I also ask General Xiao to see that Lord Dou is sincerely invited to enter Xiangyang City." ”

Dou Yi looked back, and all the officials said in unison: "Please also ask General Xiao to think about the people and enter Xiangyang City!" ”

Xu Shiji was surprised and delighted, he couldn't understand how Pei Xingyan was so capable, and under consideration, Xiao Buyi led the troops into the city, and when he could control the overall situation, he said on the side: "General Xiao, Xiangyang's father is full of fists, and I ask General Xiao not to shirk." ”

Xiao Buyi was also confused, but said with a smile: "It's better to be so respectful than to obey your fate." ”

Everyone got on their horses and entered the city, and the people had already rubbed shoulders and cheered loudly, "Welcome General Xiao to Xiangyang City and keep one side safe!" ”

The cheers were endless, and everyone's faces were full of elation, some knew Xiao Buyi's name, some didn't know what he knew in an instant, and more knew that General Xiao only broke Zhu Cang with more than a thousand troops, and he was here, and the people finally had a while. The people don't care how much, they only think about Ansheng's life, where to care who will be the emperor and who will manage Xiangyang!

Dou Yi looked at the elation of the people, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but Kong Shaoan was a little panicked, and always felt that something was wrong.

Xiao Buyi suddenly glanced at him in surprise, "This is Brother Shao An?" ”

Kong Shaoan was stunned, "Lord Xiao still knows me. ”

Xiao Buyi said with a smile: "Of course I know, when I saw Brother Shao An speaking up in the restaurant, I felt admiration. Later, I have been acquainted with Brother Shinan, but I will never see Brother Shao An again, which is a pity, but I didn't expect to see you again today, and I am happy to live my life. ”

Kong Shao'an's uneasiness gradually disappeared, his heart was warm, and he said with a smile: "General Xiao has won the award, at the beginning, General Xiao climbed the tower and said that the lower officials admired it for a long time, and later the lower officials were lucky enough to be appreciated by the saints, and they supervised the imperial history, and they have been serving in the south, and they have no chance to return to the Eastern Capital, but they also miss General Xiao a lot." ”

Xiao Buyi also said with a smile: "In this case, I should wait for a few glasses today." ”

"Definitely, definitely."

Xiao Buyi first won over his old friend in a few words, and said in his heart that it was okay to attack Xiangyang City, if he managed Xiangyang, he would have to rely on these people, this Dou Yi was also smart, he only said what he was in charge, it was not a rebellion, he had to be smarter, learn from the ancients what to accumulate grain, build a high wall, and slowly become the king, the word "master" is really wonderful.

But Xiao Buyi felt that he still had to be wary of Dou Yi, after all, it would inevitably make people suspicious if it was too smooth, but now that his reputation was rising, as long as he dealt with it carefully, it would be fine. The biggest headache is that the news of his occupation of Xiangyang spreads, and the Sui army will definitely come to attack, so he must prepare early, but Yang Guangren is in Yangzhou, which is far away, and he has enough time to prepare...... His thoughts flashed, but there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves behind him, and everyone turned around and saw a post official coming quickly, and said loudly: "Lord Dou, eight hundred miles of official documents." ”

Dou Yi took the official document, just glanced at it, his face changed slightly, he stretched out his hand and handed it to Xiao Buyi, and said softly: "General Xiao, the Jindi Pass has been broken, Zhai Rang, Li Mi led the Wagang people to connect the counties of Xingyang, Xingyang is in an emergency, and I ask General Xiao to decide." ”

Xiao Buyi was overjoyed in his heart, and he and Xu Shiji glanced at each other, not angry, but saw the joy in each other's eyes.

Jindi Pass is closer to the eastern capital than Xiangyang, Zhang Xutuo wants to fight, but also to fight with Wagang first, although the group of thieves in the past is a rebellion, but after all, they can't attack the city and pull out the village, but now Zhai Rang broke the Jindi Pass, Xiao Buyi took Xiangyang is a signal, which means that this Great Sui, finally the world is in chaos!
