Xiao Buyi stood with his bow and back to the sun, making people unable to see his face clearly, and the sun shone on the armor on his body, glowing with a faint golden light, shrouding his whole person in a golden halo, making people even more awe-inspired.

Standing on the sheep intestine path of Heifengling, the mountain wind is gusting, but he is like a mountain stone, if it is not for the fluttering clothes, Zhai Rang almost thinks that he is a stone.

But Zhai let know that Xiao Buyi is not a stone, he is an extremely terrible enemy.

Xiao Buyi's own martial arts are strong, and if he can mobilize thousands of troops, he is almost another Zhang Xutuo.

When Zhai Rang thought of Zhang Xutuo's three words, his eyelids couldn't help jumping.

The mountain wind was cold and cold, blowing on Zhai Rang's body, and it was cold all over his body. Zhai Rang remembered that he didn't wear much. Since he was caught from bed by Wang Dangren, he didn't have time to think too much, and now he only wears shoes and a robe, and he has really rarely been so embarrassed in the past few years.

In the past, even if Zhang Xutuo came to fight, he couldn't beat him, and he could escape calmly, this Xiao Buyi in front of him, I heard that he was the youngest general in the Great Sui, it seems that Huang Mao has not retreated, but he was so tired and embarrassed that he was now taking his surname is more like a breeze!

"General Xiao, you and I have never had any grudges or hatreds, I don't know why we are struggling with each other today? You burned my camp and killed my men, and with your current merits, you can go to the court to receive your merits. Zhai Rang smiled bitterly: "As the saying goes, it's not too good to kill people......

"Your head isn't on the ground right now." Xiao Buyi said with a smile.

"If I can get General Xiao to let go of my men behind me, what's the matter?" Zhai Rang glanced at the deep valley and said in a deep voice: "As long as General Xiao likes it, I can jump from here." ”

"It's none of my business whether you jump or not, but I don't like you jumping." Xiao Buyi was unmoved, "You go back now, you can be captured, and everyone can live." ”

"The owner of the village, don't be verbose with him, it's a big deal to die together."

Shan Xiongxin shouted behind Zhai Rang, he was not tired of fighting all the way, although Fang Cai and Xiao Buyi fought three arrows, but the line of life and death was really unprecedentedly dangerous, at this moment standing on the rock wall, I only felt that I was covered in sweat, and I had no strength to fight, but the bones were still hard, and I didn't want to beg for mercy.

"I heard General Xiao's words," Zhai Rang hesitated, "If we really give up resisting, can you spare but not kill?" ”

"Zhai Rang, I and you are also worry-free. However, eating the king, sharing worries with the king, and not removing the tile gang, it is really a big trouble for the court, I don't want to kill you, but I want to escort you back to the capital to be decided by the saint. As for your surname, that's not for me to decide. ”

When Zhai Rang heard this, he sighed and said, "Since General Xiao has spoken, how dare Zhai Rang disobey, and everyone will retreat." ”

Shan Xiongxin was stunned, and wanted to say more, but Zhai Rang turned around, and said with tears in his old eyes: "Xiongxin, the old man is incompetent, let Wagang lose his troops, if you can exchange the old man's surname for the life of you, death will be considered blind." ”

Shan Xiongxin sighed, the hero was short of breath, and he didn't say much.

All the subordinates were also silent, even if Zhai Mosheng's blood was strong, he was terrified when he saw Xiao Buyi's long arrow attacking. Xiao Buyi's martial arts are strong, and he occupies a favorable location, so everyone can't rush up, so if the stalemate continues, there is only a dead end. Since Zhai Rang said that he would not resist, there was no need for everyone to work hard.

Because the Wagang group of thieves is just to come together, and if they don't get together, they will disperse, gather for profit, and they can't talk about dominating the world, Zhai Rang doesn't even have this idea, although everyone has been in Wagang for a long time, if they are captured, except for Zhai Rang and the famous generals, the rest of the people will not necessarily die.

All the people turned around happily, but it was also fast, Zhai asked people to lower their voices behind Shan Xiongxin, "Xiongxin, how are you injured?" Seeing that Shan Xiongxin didn't answer, Zhai Rang smiled bitterly: "After a while, please ask Xiongxin to escape for his life, and I will be spared, because it can only drag you down." Zhang Tong'er died, Zhiluo's life and death are unknown, Yuan Zhen and Confucianism do not know their whereabouts, as the owner of the village, I lead people like this, what face do I have to live in the world? ”

Shan Xiongxin turned his back to Zhai Rang, making it difficult to see his expression, and finally said after a while: "Xiao Buyi is really powerful, since he forced us to return, how can he not wait under the mountain with heavy troops?" Wagang was raided by this person with his troops, and he was defeated, Xiongxin believed in this life, what was the use of escaping? ”

**Although Shan Xiongxin was defeated, he guessed that he was not bad, and when everyone walked down from the Black Wind Ridge, they found that there were soldiers of the Great Sui everywhere, and the armor was strong and powerful.

Zhai Rang was secretly frightened, these elite soldiers were fierce, obviously prepared, but he was completely unaware of it, and he didn't even believe it when his subordinates reported it, and he couldn't complain about others when he was caught. But the most surprising thing to him was that the Sui army was even more familiar with the terrain of Wagang than him, how could this be? Of course, he didn't know that it was his eldest brother who betrayed Wagang, otherwise he would have strangled Zhai Hong to death a long time ago.

All the way, the Sui soldiers came to report the news, and none of the Wagang Bazhai were spared, and they were broken by the Sui soldiers one by one.

This was not Zhai Rang's expectation, but Wang Ruxin was also caught, which surprised Zhai Rang.

When the brothers and sisters got together, they asked, only to know that Fang Xuanzao did not go to report the news at all, Wang Ruxin was defeated and captured, and Bing Yuanzhen sacrificed his life to fight his way out of the encirclement, and he didn't know his whereabouts. Zhai Rang frowned secretly, and said in his heart that this outsider is not trustworthy, Fang Xuanzao is not a good post official, but he is a plague god, and Yang Xuangan's rebellion led to Yang Xuangan's defeat, and he also wiped out the entire army of Wagang. He no longer ran for his life, his brain cleared up, and he recalled what Fang Xuanzao said at the beginning, it was mostly a failure, and he couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh. Wang Ruxin was originally depressed, but when he heard that Zhai Rang had asked Fang Xuanzao to report the news, he even scolded this kid for his unrighteousness.

Zhai Rang didn't even have the heart to scold, looking around, there were all Wagang people under the Sui soldiers' swords and guns, all of them were panicked, and their faces were colorless.

Today, Wagang can almost be said to be wiped out, among the five tigers in Wagang, Xu Shiji has long been missing, Zhang Tonger was killed, Bing Yuanzhen was defeated and fled, Chen Zhiluo was seriously injured, Shan Xiongxin was captured, and the rest such as Wang Dangren, Wang Ruxin, Zhai Mosheng including him, the big boss was all captured, and Zhai Mowu was most likely to be spared, fortunately, his daughter Zhai Wushuang was spared by hunting, thinking of Zhai Rang here, he couldn't help but be grief-stricken, and just wanted to cry.

The Wagang army gave up resistance, and the Sui army stopped the slaughter, doing the same thing as Zhang Xutuo, burning down the cottage and evacuating Wagang.

Zhai Rang was escorted out of Wagang, only to find that the Sui army was vast and disciplined, and he was even more shocked, feeling that Xiao Buyi was simply unfathomable.

After Xiao Buyi returned to the camp, he felt that Zhang Xutuo's headache was because a group of bandits really couldn't deal with it, so he brainstormed and summoned all the generals to discuss it first.

But there are different opinions, but no one has given a suitable advice.

Just because the thieves in addition to Zhai Rang some leaders, there are also a lot of remnants who surrendered, but most of them are village people, if these are transported back to the eastern capital, unless they are killed, otherwise it will not be solved, and the saint will not only be happy to see many thieves, maybe he will be angry, then it will be useless but wrong. Xiao Buyi had a headache when he heard this, and only then did he realize the difficulty of doing things for Yang Guang. Some generals suggested that it would be better to kill these thieves in a pit that would be the most clean. Xiao Buyi was taken aback when he heard this suggestion, and asked if he had handled it like this before? The soldiers either nodded, or shook their heads, or were dazed, but they all admired Xiao Buyi's surprise army to conquer Wagang, and some said that Xiao Buyi was a general of conquest, so he naturally did what he wanted, and he could manage a lot!

Xiao Buyi didn't have a clue, first encouraged everyone to fight bravely, and then ordered in public to let the marching office record the merits of the generals one by one, and not bury anyone's credits, but he was busy for a while. When the generals saw that this lord was so enthusiastic and bowed down to everything, they were all grateful in their hearts, and felt that although the general was young, it was not bad to follow him.

Xiao Buyi was busy until late at night, so he could rest a little, and finally knew that it was not so easy to be a good general.

When the second day dawned, Xiao Buyi first went to Wei Zheng and continued to discuss the disposal of the bandits.

Wei Zheng had a way to deal with this complicated situation, and replied: "General Xiao, I think it is better to only capture the head of the thief, and the rest of the thieves are not as good as sending them back to the countryside to farm." ”

"It's as simple as that?" Xiao Buyi was a little surprised.

Wei Zheng sighed lightly: "General Hui, in fact, except for a few of these bandits, most of them are forced by the people to become thieves, if they can live in peace, most of them still don't want to be thieves." With General Zhang's ability, he can't get rid of the crusade in the east and west, and he can't bear to do it. I heard that the original Ministry of Civil Affairs Shangshu Fan Zigai suppressed the bandits is the village dock burned, and the thieves are all pitted, which aroused the resentment of the people, the more thieves are suppressed, and he himself was punished by the saint for this, and General Zhang only defeated the bandits and burned their base, although the bandits could not be quelled in the end, but the power is said to be high, and the wisdom and inferiority here, I think with General Xiao's wisdom, it should be defensible. ”

When Xiao Buyi heard what Wei Zheng said, he realized that the bandits were also very knowledgeable, and they were not just chasing and fighting. Of course, he also knew that Yang Guangyi said that if he did not change his policy of governing the country, this bandit could not be exterminated after all, and the current conquest would not cure the symptoms. Even if he kills Zhai Rang, what can he do, and there will be no more Li Rang and Zhang Rang?

"In that case, how about Mr. Wei please dispose of the surrendered thieves according to our discussion?" Xiao Buyi asked.

Wei Zheng nodded, "Where is the responsibility of the subordinates, do your best." ”

Seeing Wei Zheng get up and pay the account, Xiao Buyi felt that this Wei Zheng was not so old-fashioned as he seemed on the surface, maybe it took many years of unwillfulness to develop his cynical surname, and he got along with him for a long time, and found that this person did things with a clear sense of right and wrong, and it was indeed not bad.

When Wei Zheng walked to the front of the tent, he suddenly stopped and said, "General Xiao, my subordinates have something to inquire about. ”

"Please."

"My subordinates heard the general say yesterday that they want to distribute all the money and goods obtained from the bandits to the sergeants in the army?"

"That's true."

"It's not in line with military regulations." Wei Zheng said in a deep voice: "The subordinates are the supervising troops, and they have the right to remind the general of the violations. ”

Xiao Buyi thought for a while, stood up, and walked to Wei Zheng's side. Wei Zheng was not afraid, just looking at Xiao Buyi. He now understands that Xiao Buyi is not only powerful, but also seems to have high martial arts, and if he wants to die, he will have absolutely no room to resist.

Xiao Buyi stretched out his hand and patted Wei Zheng's shoulder, "Old Wei, what you said makes sense, but I also have difficulties." ”

When Wei Zheng heard his old Wei's title, he couldn't cry or laugh, and didn't correct his title, but he still said with a straight face: "I don't know what difficulties the general has?" ”

Xiao Buyi took Wei Zheng's hand, stretched out his hand to open the curtain, all the soldiers saw Xiao Buyi out of the tent, they were all respectful, Xiao Buyi let everyone be exempt, took Wei Zheng to the tents of the camps, pointed to the soldiers who came and went: "What do you say they and I are for?" ”

Wei Zheng said after a while: "Protect the family and defend the country." ”

Xiao Buyi smiled bitterly: "It stands to reason that I say so, but everyone knows a lot of things. They fought bloodily, of course, for the country, and for the sake of promotion, but more of them were just for the wives and children at home. This expedition, although it was a surprise attack, but my Great Sui soldiers also died a lot, but the court's pension has always been late, and the last time I went south with a personal guard, it took a long time for him to be compensated, not to mention an ordinary soldier? If their basic expectations are not satisfied, how can they fight bravely next time? Rewarding them was just to ensure the success of the next battle, and there was no other idea. ”

"But if that's the case, what's the use of me supervising the army?" Wei Zheng frowned. He knew that Xiao Buyi meant that he had no other ideas, that is, he was not buying people's hearts, but in fact, Xiao Buyi's move made all his soldiers and generals grateful, and he was suspected of buying people's hearts.

Xiao Buyi was not annoyed, but thought for a while, and suddenly said: "It's better to put it another way, this time the right to advance the reward to the generals, and wait for the court to reward it, how do you deal with it like this?" ”

"Advance?" Wei Zheng was stunned and said, "There is still such a thing in the army? ”

Xiao Buyi laughed, "The law is not human, Lao Wei, only this once, not as an example." There's someone looking for me over there, so I'll go first. ”

He made an excuse to turn around and leave, and found that Wei Chigong was standing not far away, and pulled him into the tent, Wei Zheng wanted to summon him, but when he saw that he was gone, he shook his head and left.

**Xiao Buyi arrived in the tent, and then he took a long breath and said: "With this Wei Zheng, you really have to be careful in doing things." ”

Wei Chigong said with a smile: "Although it is not pleasant to do things, if there are more such people in Da Sui, why is it so embarrassing?" ”

Xiao Buyi said with a smile: "What Brother Jingde said makes a lot of sense......

"Now you are the general, and I am the deputy, this title ......" Wei Chi Jingde stopped when he wanted to speak.

Xiao Buyi shook his head, "Brother Jingde, a man who stands up to the sky, how can he be obsessed with small sections?" Marching and fighting, in order to establish prestige, it is important to call the general, but you and I have a very close personal relationship, and now we only talk about personal friendship, regardless of anything else. Without Brother Jingde's teaching of swordsmanship, there would be no general today. ”

A kind smile appeared at the corner of Wei Chigong's mouth, "I thought that people who became generals would always be a little different, but I didn't expect that Buyi would be the same as back then." ”

Xiao Buyi said with a smile: "By the way, Brother Jingde, since you arrived in the Tiger Prison, I have been studying with you about conquering Wagang, but I have no leisure to catch up. Although the vanguard of this trip is indispensable, if it were not for Brother Jingde's command, he might not be able to conquer Wagang so easily. ”

"It's just my duty, and if I didn't have your topographic map, I wouldn't be able to go so smoothly. By the way, what are you going to do with the thieves who surrendered? ”

Hearing Xiao Buyi discuss with Wei Zheng, Wei Chi Jingde was silent for a moment before saying, "I see." ”

Xiao Buyi felt that Wei Chi Jingde had something to say, and was puzzled: "Brother Jingde, is there a better way?" ”

Wei Chi Jingde turned his head to look outside the tent and said lightly: "I know that many generals suppress bandits and quell the rebellion to appease the bandit leaders, and most of the rest are dismissed. It's just that Wagang is really shocked by the Central Plains, Buyi, you attacked like this, but you have established your prestige in one fell swoop, and if you want to appease the bandits like them, most of them will not work. ”

Xiao Buyi understood what Wei Chigong meant, and asked tentatively, "I don't know how Brother Jingde feels about doing things under General Xue?" ”

"General Xue is old." Wei Chigong sighed.

"Then if Brother Jingde fights side by side with me in the future, I don't know what to do?"

Wei Chigong turned his head to look at Xiao Buyi, and said after a while: "I remember that my brother used to be a businessman?" ”

"People always change." Xiao Buyi's smile is undiminished, and his feelings are sincere.

Wei Chigong pondered for a long time before he said, "How about asking Buyi to let me think about it for a few days?" ”

Xiao Buyi nodded, "That's fine." ”

always felt that Wei Chigong was hiding something, Xiao Buyi didn't ask, chatted with him for a few words, and there was a humane outside the tent: "General Xiao, someone from General Zhang's side came to see him, and now he is waiting in the Chinese military tent." ”

Xiao Buyi heard that it was Sun Shaofang's voice, and stood up and said, "Brother Jingde, I'll deal with some things first." ”

When Wei Chigong saw Xiao Buyi leaving, he sighed lightly and muttered to himself: "Buyi is very righteous towards me, but Lord Liu is kind to me, how can I push back this invitation?" ”

**Xiao Buyi didn't know Wei Chigong's thoughts, but he never made it difficult for others.

Wei Chigong is a famous general and a fierce general, this time he attacked Wagang, he commanded the soldiers with ease, Xiao Buyi is lacking such talents, since they meet again, they don't want to miss it again. However, Wei Chigong seems to have a big difficulty, and Xiao Buyi is not in a hurry, just ask slowly in the future.

This attack on Wagang was originally the idea of the imperial court, and it was originally intended for Zhang Xutuo and Xiao Buyi to join forces to eradicate Wagang. However, Zhang Xutuo did not come for a long time, Xiao Buyi waited until Wei Chigong, and began to deploy in advance, and after catching Zhai Hong's terrain of Wagang, Xiao Buyi and the generals discussed, and felt that it was not too late, and if it was late, there would be changes, so he no longer waited for Zhang Xutuo, and went straight to take Wagang.

Facts have proved that his decision is correct, all what Zhai Hong said is the truth, and Xiao Buyi and others already know the distribution of Wagang's strength, so they can succeed in one blow. Now that Zhang Xutuo has sent someone to contact, there is no longer much use, but when he thinks that the famous Zhang Xutuo is close to the left, Xiao Buyi still can't help but surge his blood, and wants to see what kind of heroism this person is?

When I came to the Chinese military tent, I saw a person sitting in the corner, wearing a felt hat, although he was a servant of the wind and dust, but his bearing was calm, but his face was sallow, and it was Qin Shubao who had a one-sided relationship.

"Brother Qin is here, I don't welcome you from afar, please forgive me." Xiao Buyi took a few steps forward.

Qin Shubao stood up slowly, and said, "Where did General Xiao say come from, the end will be late, but I have to ask the general for forgiveness." ”

"Brother Qin has been delaying his troops for a long time, so there must be some delay?" Xiao Buyi said with concern: "I don't know if General Zhang is close to the left?" ”

Qin Shubao shook his head and said, "Don't dare to hide General Xiao, now I am the only one who is here under General Zhang's account." ”

Seeing Xiao Buyi's astonishment, Qin Shubao smiled bitterly and said: "Actually, after General Zhang received the holy decree, he felt that joining forces with General Xiao was really a happy life, and he had also heard of General Xiao for a long time, and he wanted to see it very much. ”

Xiao Buyi didn't expect that he was so famous, even Zhang Xutuo had heard of it, and said humbly: "General Zhang loves it." ”

Qin Shubao pondered for a moment before saying, "It's just that when General Zhang led his troops from Qi County, there was an accident on the way. The Holy Authority came again, saying that he wanted to tour the south of the Yangtze River, just because he wanted to see General Zhang, so that General Zhang should not be in a hurry to suppress the bandits, and turned around halfway to Liang County to wait for the ......"

"The Holy Governor is cruising Jiangnan?" Xiao Buyi frowned and said, "Could it be that he is no longer in the Eastern Capital?" ”

Qin Shubao looked at Xiao Buyi's expression, "General Xiao doesn't know?" ”

Xiao Buyi shook his head, "I'm just begging for thieves, but I don't know about it." However, it is a pity to miss General Zhang. ”

He said that he didn't know, but his mind was flying, the secret road from Qi County to Liang County, if it was down the canal, but through Wagang, presumably Zhang Xutuo felt urgent, so he rode a horse and took a shortcut. It's just that Yang Guang suddenly went to Jiangnan for what, and what did he want to see Zhang Xutuo for? He didn't know that Yang Guang went to Jiangnan in order to return Yang to Chen Xuanhua, but he was uneasy, and secretly said that Jiangnan was far away from the Central Plains. The strategic location of the Central Plains of the Eastern Capital United Front is extremely important, and it is really unwise for Yang Guang to go to the south of the Yangtze River without concentrating on suppressing bandits and quelling the chaos. Saying that the Great Sui will decline is really a helpless thing.

When Qin Shubao heard about the thief, he showed admiration, "I heard that General Xiao broke through Lishan and flew 100,000 with thousands of soldiers, and now he has conquered Wagang in one fell swoop and captured Zhai Rang, which is really an immortal achievement." General Xiao became famous in one fell swoop, and the world shook, and his prestige was really no longer for General Zhang. ”

"Brother Qin has won the award." Xiao Buyi thought about his thoughts and responded casually.

Seeing Xiao Buyi's perfunctory, Qin Shubao thought that Xiao Buyi felt that Zhang Xutuo was sluggish, and he was displeased.

Regarding Xiao Buyi's current achievements, Qin Shubao was also stunned. When he first went to the Eastern Capital to ask for help, he saw Xiao Buyi, and Xiao Buyi at that time was just a servant Shaoqing.

But the rapid rise of this person's position is really rare in the Great Sui. Qin Shubao is conceited that his martial arts are not bad, and he is brave in battle, but he is said to be a partial general under Zhang Xutuo, but Xiao Buyi quietly takes the position of a general, which inevitably makes him sigh. When he heard that Xiao Buyi defeated Lishan Fei, he felt somewhat exaggerated, but he saw with his own eyes that Xiao Buyi once again captured the Wagang group of thieves, and he carried a light weight, so he knew that Xiao Buyi was by no means idle.

Xiao Buyi became famous at a young age and made great contributions, although Zhang Xutuo was not out of the door, most of them would make Xiao Buyi dissatisfied. Thinking of this, Qin Shubao arched his hand and said: "General Xiao, General Zhang is only afraid that General Xiao will wait for a long time, so I asked me to come to report and explain, since the news has been brought, Shubao still has other matters, and this will be transferred back to Qi County." ”

"Brother Qin won't stay a few more days?" Xiao Buyi was a little stunned.

Qin Shubao shook his head, and said goodbye again, Xiao Buyi was not good to stay, so he had to send him out of the camp, Qin Shubao got on the horse, wanted to say something, and finally just said: "General Xiao take care." ”

Xiao Buyi saw that he rode away and finally disappeared, if he was lost, he thought in his heart, Qin Shubao seemed to have something on his mind, he and himself had not seen each other for a long time, and they were even more separated.

**Xiao Buyi, who turned around the camp, just sat and stood for a moment, then thought of something, got up and went to a camp.

The tent was quite simple, and there was a man sitting upright, holding a book in his hand, but he was looking at it in a daze.

Hearing the sound of the curtain, the man woke up and saw Xiao Buyi coming in, his face showed an unnatural color, put down the book, got up and said, "It turned out to be General Xiao." ”

That person's expression was less elegant and uninhibited, and his brows were slightly locked, and it was Xu Shiji.

Xiao Buyi beckoned Xu Shiji to sit down, "Why is Brother Xu so polite?" I don't know what Brother Xu has been busy with lately? ”

Xu Shiji raised the book in his hand and said: "It's just to study some art of war, which is quite boring." I haven't congratulated General Xiao on breaking through Wagang and capturing many people in Wagang. ”

Although he tried his best to be calm, his tone was somewhat excited, but Xiao Buyi laughed, "Brother Xu really knows the meaning of the strings, has he already guessed my intention here?" ”

Xu Shiji was stunned, "What is Brother Xiao's intention?" ”

Xiao Buyi's eyes were scorching, staring at Xu Shiji's face, "Since Brother Xu has time, I want Brother Xu to help and escort the Wagang group to the Eastern Capital, I don't know what Brother Xu wants?" ”
