The city head is hunting by fire, more than 100 torches will shine on the city wall as if it is day, Xingyang Taishou Wei Lu is a native of Guanzhong, his parents, wife and children are in Chang'an, and it is for this reason that he was persuaded by Li Xiaoji to surrender, and he also planned to organize 30,000 people to support the battle of Luoyang.

Wei Lu took the arrow from a soldier, looked at it for a long time, the arrow had four golden words on it, he had not seen the military order of the king of Qin, and he was puzzled, and then there was a sound of footsteps behind him, and Li Xiaoji, the king of Yong'an in the Tang Dynasty, walked over quickly.

Li Xiaoji is the nephew of Tang Emperor Li Yuan, about thirty years old, fat and big, a big nose like an eggplant hanging on his face, he was ordered by Li Yuan to rebel against the officials of the Central Plains counties, but the harvest is not very big, except for Xingyang Taishou Wei Lu and Puyang Taishou Du Youcai was rebelled by him, the rest of the Taishou are ambiguous, ambiguous attitude, he is ready to return to Chang'an to restore his life, today is just in Guancheng County.

"What's going on?" Lee Hyo-gi stepped forward and asked.

Taishou Wei Lu hurriedly handed him the order arrow, "It was the King of Qin who sent an army to meet us, this is their order arrow." ”

Li Xiaoji took the arrow and sneered, he was a prince faction, and he had no good impression of King Qin, and more importantly, he came to the Central Plains on the secret order of Li Yuan, and no one in the court knew about it except the prince, how did Li Shimin know, could it be that his Tang Feng found out about his secret activities in the Central Plains?

Even if he knew his activities in the Central Plains, if he wanted to answer him, he had to have the cooperation of the Holy Decree, relying on a single arrow was not convincing, especially if he was the prince's person, Li Shimin would not rashly send troops to assist, this was not his style of doing things.

Thinking of this, Li Xiaoji faintly guessed in his heart that this was not the Tang army, it was very likely that Wang Shichong's army came to deceive the city, he hurriedly glanced at Wei Lu, Wei Lu understood, turned around and waved his hand, and more than a hundred soldiers immediately opened their bows and arrows and slowly approached the battlements.

Li Xiaoji said loudly again: "Since it is the army of King Qin. Then please talk to us about it, your chief. ”

Luo Shixin didn't know that the other party had seen through it, so he urged him to step forward and said: "Luo Song, the commander under the King of Xiaqin, has been ordered to come to help, please open the city gate quickly!" ”

As soon as his voice fell, Li Xiaoji, the head of the city, shouted, "Do it!" ”

More than 100 archers stepped forward at the same time, opened their bows and shot fast, and more than 100 cold arrows were intensively fired at Luo Shixin. Luo Shixin was taken aback. It was too late to pick up a gun, too late to raise a shield, and he reacted extremely quickly. With a shake of his body, he got under the horse's belly, and dozens of arrows hit his warhorse. The war horse neighed miserably and fell with a bang.

When Luo Shixin's war horse fell, the Sui cavalry reacted, rushed up and released arrows, arrows were like a torrential rain, several soldiers at the head of the city could not dodge, were shot in the forehead, screaming and falling on their backs. More than a dozen soldiers covered Wei Lu and Li Xiaoji and withdrew to the city.

At this time, more than a dozen soldiers have rescued Luo Shixin, Luo Shixin's war horse has died, this war horse is Lu Mingyue's mount, after being captured by the Sui army, Zhang Xutuo rewarded Luo Shixin, is a strong horse. After following Luo Shixin for many years, Luo Shixin couldn't help but feel like a knife when he saw his beloved horse killed, and pointed to the city and scolded: "Old horseman, I won't kill you." Swear not to be a man! ”

He turned over and mounted another horse, and used another horse to carry his great iron spear. Once he was recognized by the other party, he could no longer fight the idea of managing the city and county, and waved his hand, "Let's go!" ”

The Sui army quickly withdrew from Guancheng County and rushed to Xingyang County in the northwest.

Xingyang County is not far from Guancheng County, only eighty miles apart, at dawn, the cavalry arrived in Xingyang County, a thousand Sui soldiers galloped for a day and a night, already exhausted, Luo Shixin ordered the soldiers to rest in a small forest.

At this time, it was the middle of June, the weather was extremely hot, it was only early in the morning, the sun had just come out, the ground was already like a fire, some clouds were not clouds, like fog and not fog gray gas floated low in the air, making people feel like they were in a steamer, almost out of breath.

Fortunately, there was a small river beside the woods, and the soldiers and the horses drank water, washed themselves, and cooled down a little, and the soldiers ate a little indiscriminately, and fed the horses, and many fell to sleep soundly.

Luo Shixin couldn't sleep, he put a wet towel around his neck to dispel the heat, sat on a big stone and was stunned, the frustration of Guancheng County made him very depressed, he had never been defeated since he entered Sui, this time the plan was actually seen through, which made him feel embarrassed on his face.

At this time, Cheng Yanjin sat down beside him and handed him a piece of Hu Cake, "Eat!" Lamb filling, very deliciously cooked. ”

Luo Shixin didn't want to eat, and shook his head, "I'm not hungry!" ”

At this moment, the rag on Cheng's bite Jin's nose has been removed, and his face has been washed, although he is not heroic, but he is also radiant and beaming, he saw that Luo Shixin did not answer, so he was polite, and devoured it.

Luo Shixin glanced at him, a little strange in his heart, he was beaten by himself, and the deception city also failed, I don't know what he has to be happy about, "You seem to be in a good mood?" ”

Cheng Yanjin's mouth was stuffed, and he said vaguely: "I'm not like you, but I didn't take a broken city, so I'm worried, what's the big deal, even if you are defeated, as long as your life is still there, you should drink to celebrate, what's the point of being competitive, as long as you can eat and drink well, and save your life, that is the blessing of cultivation in the previous life." ”

Luo Shixin nodded, in fact, Cheng Biting Jin also made sense, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and when he saw it, he was relieved.

"Alright! You lead the brothers to rest in the woods, and I will take some people to Xingyang County. ”

Cheng Yanjin stuffed the last piece of bread into his mouth, got up and said: "I admit that commanding thousands of troops and horses to fight is not as good as you, but I am not as good as you when you are abducted and abducted, if you pretend to be a businessman last night, don't alarm Taishou, and you will successfully capture the city, look at me, I will teach you how to take Xingyang City." ”

Luo Shixin remembered that the manager specially made Cheng Yanjin his deputy general, just to give full play to his expertise in surprise attacks, so he nodded, "Okay!" Good luck on your journey. ”

Cheng gritted his golden mouth, "I also wish me a smooth journey, I lost my teeth with soreness, I didn't take the punch last night, I didn't take it to heart when I was beaten, do you still have a pain in your hand?" ”

Luo Shixin laughed, "Get out!" It's best if you're caught stripped naked by the prefectural order. ”

Cheng Yanjin laughed, "Lao Tzu went to strip the county lady's clothes naked, see if he listens or not!" ”

He turned around and walked away triumphantly, Luo Shi's confidence suddenly improved, he touched his stomach, turned back and asked his soldiers, "Is there anything else to eat?" Bring me some. ”……

Xingyang County is a middle county, the population is less than 1,000 households, the city is also a little dilapidated because of years of war, the city wall can be seen everywhere to collapse gaps, early in the morning, the city gate is crowded with farmers who enter the city to sell vegetables, noisy into a ball.

Although a big battle is breaking out in Luoyang, more than 200 miles away, Xingyang County is quiet and unaffected, and more than a dozen soldiers defending the city have become lazy and unfocused due to the hot weather, especially the peasants who have entered the city have no oil and water to fish, so the soldiers don't care, let them go in and out.

At this time, a group of horses came in the distance, there were more than a dozen horse dealers rushing, towards the city gate, the soldiers immediately cheered up, the head of the horse dealer is a strong man with a black face with green, at a glance you know that it is a ringing horse with grass falling in the mountains, but this is nothing, more than seventy percent of the young and strong men in the Central Plains have fallen into the grass, including these soldiers guarding the city.

"Where did the horse merchants come from?" The team defending the city is very polite, in the Central Plains, horse dealers are generally fierce people, not easy to mess with, everyone is seeking money, why bother asking for trouble.

Cheng Yanjin went south and north, experienced, he is not like Luo Shixin, he actually wants to alarm Taishou when he sneaks into the city, he knows that it is more reliable to deal with small people, Cheng Yanjin casually threw a bag of copper coins to the team, "The old rules, tea money plus wine money, nothing more." ”

The team was taking the cloth bag, and there were ten pounds of money in the heavy weight, and he was suddenly overjoyed, how could he make it difficult for such an acquaintance, he hurriedly waved his hand, "Put it into the city!" ”

Cheng Yanjin led his subordinates to drive a group of horses, and entered the county seat in a grand manner, and his subordinates were very admired, they couldn't enter the city with so much effort last night, and they came in so easily today, or General Cheng is powerful.

Cheng Yanjin said to everyone triumphantly: "You have to be tactful in doing things, these soldiers are just to support their families, he doesn't care who you are, as long as you give money, what can't you do?" In the future, you have to learn a little, don't be stupid like Lao Luo who entered the city in the middle of the night, and pretended to be Tang Jun, isn't that making trouble for yourself? ”

The soldiers were in great admiration, and one asked: "So where are we going now?" ”

Cheng Yanjin snorted, "Of course go to the county order, can we still slaughter the city with a dozen of us?" ”

"But where is the prefectural order?"

Cheng Biting Jin almost wanted to kick the questioner to death, he took more than a dozen people, came directly to the county office, did not go to the back house, went up the steps of the main gate, raised the drumstick and slammed it, the drum sounded, accompanied by Cheng Biting Jin shouted: "Wronged!" ”

Xingyang County Commander is called Wang Xiong, he was sitting in the official room drinking tea, suddenly heard someone beating drums and shouting grievances, and he didn't care about drinking tea, he came to the lobby in a panic, sat down under the high hanging mirror, and said sharply: "Who shouted injustice, bring it up!" ”

Two officials brought in more than a dozen horse dealers, "Report to the county order, it is these people who cry out for grievances." ”

When the county commander Wang Xiong saw that the person who came didn't kneel, he slapped the shocked wood hard, "Boldly Diao the people, see that this official dares not to kneel?" ”

Cheng Yanjin laughed, "I couldn't find you, so I beat the drum and called you!" ”

He stepped forward a few steps, grabbed the placket of the county order's clothes, dragged him off the couch, and his subordinates also moved together, taking over the county clerk and the main book next to him at the same time.

The sudden change stunned dozens of officials around, they had never seen this kind of complaint, some people wanted to run, but were knocked over by Cheng Yanjin's men, the county commander was frightened, and asked hard: "Who are you, you dare to bully this official, do you want to rebel?" ”

As soon as the county commander's voice fell, a snowy dagger pressed against his throat, and Cheng Biting Jin said coldly: "Lao Tzu is the demon king of Wagangzhai mixed world, come to your county to borrow some food!" ”……
