Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

The sky in the north was overcast, and the wind roared.

Under the high and thick city wall of Jixian County, the yellow swallow flag is like a mountain and a sea, and under the flag, there are crowds. Countless soldiers dressed in rags and wearing yellow scarves raised their heads and looked at the city.

"Broken!"

"Broken!"

Countless soldiers were raised, and where everyone's eyes met, huge stone bullets pierced the sky.

Rumble! Rumble!

The city wall was shaken, crumbling, a burst of gray smoke and dust rose up, and the cheers of thousands of soldiers under the city shook thousands of miles!

Under the southern city, more than a dozen trebuchets worked together, and the sound of the machine sounded, and the wooden arms creaked. The cannon tip bounced straight off the wooden frame, and a huge stone projectile whizzed through the air, slamming into the ground and smashing against the high wall. The walls shook for a moment, and the fragments of stone bullets splattered rapidly in all directions. One of the defenders on the city wall was unlucky, and was killed directly on the city wall by rubble.

The king of the heavens, King Suba, stood on a high platform, and behind him the soldiers lined up in a row to the foot of the distant mountain, and looked at the plain with his army. In the lifetime of the eldest husband, it is not in vain to be able to carry a million soldiers, Wang Suba saw this scene and was immediately full of ambition, drew his sword together, and slashed up to the sky!

Knock knock!

The drums of war beat and the jingo danced. Half of the thousands of old and weak soldiers who filled the trenches under the city walls were dead and wounded, but they paved a way for Wang Suba to reach the city walls. Under the yellow Yanzi flag, after drinking a bowl of send-off wine, countless big men choked the ground, smashed the porcelain bowl at the bottom of their hands, and then raised the steel knife in their hands and surged towards the city wall like a wave. The three armies moved, and the soldiers never returned, and suddenly rushed towards the city like a monstrous wave.

The defenders of the city began to counterattack. The city wall is densely packed with Sui soldiers holding huge oars, with iron armor, and their eyes under their head pockets are all cold, looking at the thieves under the city like ants attached to the city.

Stones, bows and arrows, and boiling oil were thrown down from the city without money, and the defenders fought back fiercely. In particular, the catapults of the defenders defending the city collided with the catapults of the besieging side, and every boulder fell, and a cloud of dust rolled up on the ground, and then blood oozed out from under the stones. For the besiegers who can't turn around in a dense way, they can only be flesh and blood under the attack of stone bullets.

Inadequate! Still not enough! Wang Su wielded his sword and kept sending his sons forward to attack the city.

One will succeed in ten thousand bones, and Jixian County will not be able to capture, where will the food for the winter of tens of thousands of troops come from.

If you can't capture Jixian County, the countless weapons and armor battles in the city will not be shelved.

"Hit Jixian County, everyone eats meat!" Wang Xu drew his sword and shouted, and suddenly the soldiers of the three armies moved, and the cold wind did not freeze the hands and feet of the soldiers, they threw away their headscarves and rushed up the city wall.

Wang Suba squinted his eyes and walked back and forth with his sword. It has been two and a half years since he started the incident, and the officials who surrendered in the Sui Dynasty flattered him for rising up in cloth, yes, a cattle herding baby, to this day he has an army of more than 100,000 people, what else does the husband ask for.

Wang Xuba put a helmet on the hilt of his sword, his eyes suddenly rose, he stared at the city wall, the lead cloud hanging low in the sky, and thought, now Gao Shida, Zhang Jin said that he is dead, and now among the anti-kings of Hebei, there is only one left, if this person does not stand up and shout, who else can replace him. But if you want to recruit subordinates, you must have food, and if you don't have food, grass, and soldiers, why should others vote for you?

But if you can capture Jixian County, it will be different, you can rely on its grain and grass weapons to recruit more than 100,000 elite soldiers, and then sweep the land of Hebei, which is as easy as a hand. At that time, Li Mi was nothing, if one day, I could become the emperor, one for myself, the second for getting ahead, and the third for the common people to no longer live a hard life in the future, not to be oppressed by corrupt officials and corrupt officials, even if it is a cowherd baby, I can marry a wife.

"Kill, kill, sons. Beat our drums! Wang Xuba drew his sword again and shouted, and the drummers on all sides of the Chinese army also responded to the situation and beat the drums in their hands harder. The shouts and drums on all sides had long since made him unable to hear anything, whew!

A boulder in the city was thrown high in the air as if it had been thrown by hand. Wang Xuba looked at the boulder but was stunned, and the black shadow on his forehead suddenly became bigger and bigger. Wang Xu paused for a moment and seemed to understand something, and immediately pulled out his legs and ran.

Rumble!

The boulder fell to the ground, and the Chinese army collapsed with a bang.

The twelfth year of the Great Cause, December.

Although it is winter at the moment, the land of Yangzhou raises people, although the snow is flying, but there is no bitter cold in the north. In the Yangzhou Palace, the craftsmen in the garden of the Imperial Garden will cut the flowers with colored silk early and insert them on the branches of the trees to make a hundred flowers flourish in winter, and decorate the entire Imperial Garden with extraordinary beauty.

Yu Shiji walked through the corridor full of Yulin soldiers with a fold in his hand, and saw from a distance that Emperor Yang Guangzheng of the Sui Dynasty was wearing a yellow dragon robe, in the palace, facing the water and fishing.

The eunuch on the side whispered to Yu Shiji, and said: "Today, after Your Majesty watched Xue Shixiong and Yang Yichen sent the folds, Long Yan Dayue, this is not a lot better, and he also made an exception to eat an extra bowl of jade pear porridge, and now he has been basking in the sun for half an hour. After a while, you will pick up more happy things and talk to your majesty more. ”

"Thank you, Grandpa Liu."

After Yu Shiji thanked him, the two stopped talking, turned a corner door, and after the guards checked their identities, Yu Shiji silently walked behind Yang Guang, bowed to Yang Guang and whispered, "Meet Your Majesty." ”

Yang Guang had already passed the earth dragon left and right, so it was warm and dry, not cold at all. Yang Guang put away the fishing rod and said with a smile: "Yu Qing sit down quickly, no matter how softly you speak, my fish will also scare you away." How do you say I'm going to punish you? ”

Yu Shiji pretended to be aggrieved and said: "No matter how your majesty is punished, Weichen has received it, isn't it said that the thunder and rain are Jun's grace?" ”

Yang Guang laughed and said: "As far as you can say it, I am in good spirits today, I haven't seen the sun for a long time, and I can be considered leisurely when I come to fish." Yu Qing, do you know how to fish? ”

Yu Shiji kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, and the way of fishing, the minister knows a little bit about it, and he is not very proficient, but I heard that Jiang Ziya and Yan Ziling are both masters of fishing." ”

Yang Guang was very satisfied with Yu Shiji's quiet sycophant, took the recital at hand, knocked on the Jinxian crown on Yu Shiji's head, and said: "As far as you can speak, you have also watched the recital, Yang Qing, Xue Qing has done a very good job in the north, I am very relieved, now several anti-kings in Hebei have been exterminated, and the rest is not enough to trouble, how do you say to reward a meritorious man?" ”

Yu Shiji glanced at Yang Guang's side, and knew in his heart, in fact, he was here for this matter, and someone had already paid a lot of money to greet him early, asking him to say a word or two in front of the palace.

Yu Shiji is in line with the professionalism of taking people's money and eliminating disasters from people, and said: "Yang Yichen has successively cut off Geqian, Zhang Jin said, Gao Shida, this must be rewarded. Now the thieves around Hebei are all small forces, although there are many but in the end can not become a climate, do not worry, Yang Yichen almost did his best to eliminate the thieves, and has a heavy army outside the capital for a long time, which is very inappropriate, but has to be guarded against. ”

After Yang Guang put his hands on his shoulders, Yang Xuan's feeling at the moment that Hu Si's political conspiracy against him suddenly floated in front of him. Yang Guangshen said thoughtfully: "Yu Qing is thoughtful for me, so what do you think Yu Qing should do?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thought that Yang Yichen could be relieved of military power, returned to the dynasty and sealed, and then a general led the whole army of Hebei to continue to exterminate the remnants of the bandits."

Yang Guang nodded, and said: "Very good, this not only fulfills the righteousness of our monarchs and ministers, but also avoids my worries, then you draw up a decree for me, worship Yang Yichen as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, return to the dynasty to be sealed, and then the left guard general Duan Da will replace Yang Yichen and exterminate the remnants of Hebei bandits." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Yu Shiji secretly showed joy.

Fanyang County is covered with heavy snow, and now Li Chongjiu's army is camped in Shanggu, and Yanmen County is spending the winter. When Li Chongjiu was vigorously fighting his troops, he also summarized the information from all aspects of the near future and planned his next step.

Wang Suba led an army of more than 100,000 to the north to attack Zhuojun and seize grain for the winter. As a result, under the high walls of Zhuojun and Xue Shixiong's stubborn defense, Wang Xuba accidentally died of a stone. After that, the army retreated, and Wei Dao'er, a general nicknamed Lishan Fei, succeeded Wang Xuba in charge of the whole army, and temporarily rested in Shenze.

When he learned of this, Li Chongjiu said that since the eleventh year of this great cause, the three major anti-kings in Hebei, Gao Shida and Zhang Jin, said that Wang Xuba had all died in battle. And after these three people died in battle, the Hebei Righteous Army really fell into a situation where the dragons were leaderless.

Later, after Li Chongjiu heard that Yang Yichen was gone, Emperor Yang of Sui ordered Duan Da to take over Yang Yichen's military power. Duan Da is just a brave and unscrupulous general, who led the officers and soldiers to fight with the rebel army many times before, but they were all defeated, and he was called Duan Mu by the rebel army. Because he was unfavorable in battle, he was replaced by Yang Yichen. Now that Duan Da is back in power, Li Chongjiu thinks that those rebels in Hebei must be setting off firecrackers right now, and he applauded.

Taken together, these two pieces of news show that the official army of Hebei and the old pattern of anti-king are all disrupted. Gao Shida, Zhang Jin said that although Wang Xuba and the three of them died, there were still two or three hundred thousand remaining subordinates of these three people, if Emperor Yang of Sui thought that he would be at ease, it would be a big mistake.

Li Chongjiu pondered that now the three major anti-kings in Hebei are all dead, the dragons are leaderless, Yang Yichen has been deprived of his position, and he has been replaced by an incompetent Duan Da. This is a good time for Li Mi to go north to seize Hebei. The right opportunity can really be said to be granted by God, and if it is outdated, Li Mi will miss the opportunity. However, Li Chongjiu guessed that Li Mi was not moving now, and it was estimated that he was also indecisive between going south or north.

Li Chongjiu didn't bother to remind Li Mi of anything now, this was granted by God, and if he didn't take it out of date, he would suffer from it. Rather than this, Li Chongjiu might as well take the opportunity to absorb it himself, annex the rest of the Hebei Righteous Army, and expand his power. Wang Xuba is newly dead, and now Wei Dao'er has become the new master, at the time of this change, what is Song Jingang's attitude towards the new master, this is what Li Chongjiu is concerned about now.

Note 1: In the New Tang Dynasty Book Dou Jiande's biography, the Shanggu Thief King must pull out his self-named "Mantian King", and he was killed in battle with his soldiers. Under it, Wei Dao'er "Lishan Fei", the wall is deep, and there are 100,000 people. Jiande took it by scheming and had its land.
