"General, many ordinary people have gathered at the gate of the city, and they are all clamoring to leave Jinyang." At this time, a city gate captain broke in, looked flustered, and said loudly.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of horses' hooves outside, and he saw more than a dozen captains rushing over, Li Ji recognized that these people were all captains of the city gate, and they all looked flustered, Li Ji suddenly smiled bitterly, obviously, these people are here for the affairs of those ordinary people. He and You Junda glanced at each other, and the corners of their mouths showed bitterness.

Li Xin has only released a river from Jinqu now, which has caused such an impact, and if the floods of the Fen River and Jinshui are released again, I really don't know what will happen!

"Fist withdrawal is the most powerful deterrent." You Junda said in a low voice.

Li Ji suddenly realized that Li Xin Fenshui and Jinshui came to deter Jinyang, not only to deter him Li Ji, but more importantly, to deter the people in the city, those ignorant people don't care about the real situation of Jinyang, they only know that one Jinqu makes their lives inconvenient, and some people are almost drowned. If Jinshui and Fenshui are released again, I am afraid that the people of the entire Jinyang City will be drowned.

Li Xin not only deterred Li Ji himself, but also used these people to deter Li Ji, forced Li Ji to open the city gate, released the people, and retained the vitality of Jinyang, and more importantly, shook the heart of the Jinyang army.

"It's better to let our army also make up the people of the city, and after leaving the city, take the opportunity to counterattack Li Xin's camp." You Junda said suddenly.

Li Ji's face moved, and he was about to speak, when a captain next to him smiled bitterly: "General, Li Xin has sent a lot of scribes to sit outside the city gate. Whoever goes out of the city, I am afraid, will have to register there. ”

"And this kind of thing?" Li Ji's eyes suddenly showed anger, this Li Xinming was ready to shake Li Ji's military heart, making Li Ji feel as uncomfortable as eating a fly.

"Let them out!" You Junda suddenly sighed and said: "General, we are also dead if we stay here, and the last general hopes that after death, someone can remember our bravery, and it cannot be said that we caused the people of Jinyang to be drowned in order to survive for ourselves, maybe Li Xin is in this mind." He wants to flood Jinyang, but he doesn't want to put this notoriety on him, so he will force us. What a hypocritical and cunning guy. You Junda looked bitter, obviously he wanted to be a **, but he wanted to set up an archway, and he couldn't say how disgusting. You Junda didn't have any way.

Li Ji nodded, didn't Li Xin think so? If Jinyang is drowned in the future, with countless casualties, others will not say Li Xin. can only say how Li Ji is, all the blame will be pointed at himself.

"Release." Li Ji sighed in his heart and said, "General You, you can also go." Li Xin and I are mortal enemies, you can surrender, but I can't. Li Ji was bitter for a while, thinking that he had longed to become a generation of famous generals since he was a child. Feng Wife Yinzi, everything is as he expected, return to Li Mi. was named the county duke, and now he is even more named the national duke, but unfortunately, he made a wrong step back then, and now everything has become a thing of the past.

"Jinyang can't be defended, how about going to Taiyuan City?" You Junda was silent for a while before speaking.

"Although Taiyuan is good, but it is a new city, it is not as deep as Jinyang City, Li Xin's attack on Taiyuan may take effort, but it will definitely not be able to resist the other party's time, in fact, I am most worried about the soldiers in the city, most of these soldiers are Jinyang people, we let their families leave, do these soldiers still have the heart to fight for us?" Li Jichang sighed.

"There are 50,000 soldiers in the city, and 20,000 of them are Jinyang locals. Their family left Jinyang, where did they still have the heart to fight for the general? You Junda nodded and said.

"General, why don't you move the soldiers' families to Taiyuan City, now that the Jinshui has been drained, you can cross the bridge, and you will be able to reach Taiyuan City soon, the general will guard Taiyuan, and the soldiers will definitely fight bravely for the sake of their families." A lieutenant suddenly said when he heard this, but found that the robe on the side was looking at him with angry eyes, and he immediately understood something, and quickly lowered his head and stopped talking.

"That's one way to do it." You Junda's eyes lit up, and he said: "Outside the city, I don't know how Li Xin will treat these people, it is better to enter Taiyuan City, they are all the families of the soldiers, and we will naturally treat these people well, so that the soldiers can resist Li Xin with peace of mind, at least there are no worries." ”

"Then implement it, let the families of the soldiers go to Taiyuan." Li Ji patted his thigh and said, he looked at the captain with approving eyes, if it weren't for this guy, I'm afraid he would still think of such a vicious strategy, in this way, not only can he keep his reputation, so that the people of the world have no way to say anything, but more importantly, it can make the soldiers resist Li Xin's attack with peace of mind and keep Jinyang City.

Outside the city, Li Xin personally led everyone to a place of peace, more than a dozen tables were placed outside the city, a few cases were placed on a lot of books, and more than a dozen big signs, the signs were written "Wushanfang", "Wubenfang" and other place names, each place name has many rosters, these are the credit of Jinyiwei, can take out all the rosters in Jinyang City, so that when these Jinyang people come out, they have reported their location, so that Li Ji can also prevent people from sending people out to make trouble.

"Li Ji still knows what is going on, if he doesn't release all these people, I will not hesitate to dig up the embankment, let Jinshui and Fenshui all rush into Jinyang City, and let him die without a place to be buried. All the charges will fall on Li Ji. Li Xin said with a slight expression.

"Your Majesty is acting in a conspiracy, even if Li Ji knows, there is no way to solve this matter." Fang Xuanling also smiled: "If he doesn't open the city gate, without our action, the people in the city will kill him." ”

"The people in the city have come out, and the minister heard that many of the admiring defenders are locals, and his own family members have come out, so the minister doesn't believe that these soldiers still have the heart to continue fighting." Shen Qianqiu said gloomily.

"What if we get all these people to Taiyuan City?" Su Dingfang asked with a cold face.

"As long as you're not around, even if it's in Taiyuan City." Li Xin explained with a smile: "At present, there is no solution to the situation, unless Li Ji can release all the soldiers from Jinyang, but in this way, he can't bear the risk of reducing his troops." ”

"In fact, no one wants this kind of thing to happen, but for the sake of the world, it is also a last resort." Li Xin pointed to Jinyang City in the distance, only to see Jinyang City slowly open, there were already many people who left Jinyang City, these people looked flustered, dragged their families with their mouths, and came out of the city, these people used to be Li Yuan's loyal courtiers, but now, Li Yuan is clearly showing that the general trend has gone, Jinyang will fall into the hands of Li Xin at any time, these people at this time, they have also abandoned Li Yuan, after all, their lives are important.

"Arrange them according to the fang market, so as to avoid Li Ji's soldiers and spies among these people." Li Xin looked at the people walking in the distance, and said with a somewhat solemn face. The more you get to the end, the more you have to be careful.

"Your Majesty, Li Ji is now in an unsolvable situation, and now he can only die or surrender in front of him." Su Dingfang hesitated for a while and said, "Your Majesty, are you waiting for these people to come out and continue to flood Taiyuan?" Wei Chigong and the others looked at Li Xin after hearing this, obviously they also wanted to know the news.

"What does Ling Qing think?" Li Xin didn't answer, but looked at Ling Jing and said.

"If you don't surrender at this time, that is a person who is loyal to Li Yuan, such a person will not surrender until the last moment, and the minister thinks that he can flood Jinyang." Ling Jing said without thinking: "In the past, Your Majesty was still worried about the problems of these ordinary people, but now that these ordinary people have come out, there is no such worry. The minister suggested that he could use the water potential to attack the Jinyang city wall as he did with the Jinyang Water Gate, believing that the effect of the water potential could destroy the foundation of Jinyang City. ”

Su Dingfang and the others nodded, they didn't understand Li Xin's way of attacking the water gate at first, but the water gate was smashed by several huge logs, making the Jinyang water gate open.

"Wait, wait." Li Xin looked at the people of Jinyang who were swarming out, shook his head and said, "These people have come out, we have to provide grain and grass." However, this grain and grass are not given for free, let them work. Pile up the mound of earth, pile up the mound outside Jinyang City, and then set up a cannon without conscience, if Li Ji does not return to obedience, he will bombard him with cannons, if he does not return to obedience, he will directly waterproof, I will flood Jinyang, and it is a big deal to build another Jinyang. ”

Li Xin's face was fierce, looking at Jinyang, Li Ji was the target he would kill, and more importantly, Li Shimin was no longer good now, he was definitely not his opponent, what he was most worried about was that if Li Ji took refuge in the Turks and used more than 100,000 Turkic cavalry, it would be a catastrophe for the emerging Tang Dynasty. If it weren't for a Shen Ruyan, he would still be able to surrender if he couldn't figure it out, but unfortunately it was impossible now.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Li Ji may have a certain heart of death, but Li Ji is like this, what about You Junda?" Ling Jing said in a low voice: "You Junda is from Wagangzhai, and later returned to Wang Shichong, and then to Li Shimin, seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, nothing more than this, the minister thought that such a person would never let himself die in Jinyang." It's better to send someone to say that my Datang is like the sun, Your Majesty is wise and martial, and maybe you can make it submit to my Datang. ”?

"Qianqiu, send someone to contact You Junda and see if you can make him submit to my Tang Dynasty, and I will not hesitate to reward him." Li Xin nodded and said. (To be continued.) )
