On the official road, Li Xin led 10,000 cavalry, beside him was not someone else, but Cheng Biting Jin, and there was also Li Xuanba, who was holding a double hammer, and Li Xin and Li Yuan In the battle, Li Xuanba did not follow Li Xin to come, but sat in Jincheng, this time Li Xin wanted to inspect the northwest, Li Xuanba came

"The front is Honghua, who is Honghua's current guard?" Li Xin stopped suddenly, and the boundary monument on this road showed that one road was to Honghua and the other road was to Pingliang County. Li Xin suddenly stopped his horse and asked Du Ruhui beside him. Now Honghua has fallen into the hands of Liang Shidu, so Li Yuan has been operating in Honghua for so long, and now such a city has fallen into the hands of Liang Shidu, I don't know what kind of reaction Li Yuan will have after hearing it.

"Because Honghua is the key to Liang Shidu's entry into Longxi, and now Liang Shidu's younger brother Liang Luoren is personally stationed, with 20,000 soldiers and horses." Du Ruhui was a scholar of Wu Yingdian University, and his supervisor shifted from political affairs to military affairs, and he knew the military intelligence under Li Xin's command well.

"Liang Luoren, how is this person?" Li Xin suddenly became interested.

"Greedy and lustful, vulgar and wild, hehe, actually, we also got news that Liang Luoren and one of Liang Shidu's concubines had an adulterous affair." Du Ruhui laughed.

"Okay, let's go to Honghua and take Honghua first." Li Xin's eyes rolled, and he said with a smile: "Mr. Du, you can lead five thousand soldiers and horses to Pingliang, and order Lingzhou General Lin Xingcan, Changshi Yang Ze, and Yanzhou Governor Duan Decao to prepare for the attack on Liang Shidu, although we have relatively few soldiers and horses together, but as long as the time is used properly, it may not be impossible to defeat Liang Shidu and seize the foundation of Liang Shidu." ”

"Prime Minister, your five thousand men?" Du Ruhui was a little worried.

"I have Xuanba and Zhijie by my side, the world is so big, can anyone hurt me?" Li Xin said proudly. Among the world's well-known generals, he has already gotten a lot, especially Li Xuanba. He looks stiff and looks like an iceberg, but in fact, he has a lot of respect for himself. Of course. I'm not bad to him.

"Yes." Du Ruhui nodded, Li Xin's 5,000 soldiers and horses are all elite and strong soldiers, plus Li Xuanba, Cheng Yanjin and others are all fierce generals, so there is naturally no problem in guarding Li Xin.

"The order went down and told the brothers to change all the armor on their bodies. Hmph, let's save some of it! The others wore leather armor. Li Xin thought for a while and said, "Let's go and pretend to be robbers." ”

"Yes." Cheng Yanjin is very happy, Li Xin has strict discipline in the army, even Cheng Yanjin does not dare to mess with military discipline, and now Li Xin says that pretending to be a bandit, that means that the next war is at least much better in terms of discipline.

"Pretending to be bandits does not mean that we can kill people casually, we only want to kill those who are unkind to the rich, and take their food, grass and money. This paves the way for us to govern Honghua in the future. Li Xin quickly discouraged Cheng Yanjin's enthusiasm.

"Yes." Cheng Yanjin's face darkened after hearing this, and he hurriedly went down to give the order.

"The prime minister's plan is very wise, I'm afraid that when Liang Luoren heard that five thousand bandits had entered the prison. Troops will definitely come to attack. Du Ruhui saw the purpose of Li Xin's actions.

"Sir, if you have a chance to go back, take Honghua!" Li Xin said with a smile.

"Don't worry, the prime minister, his subordinates will definitely help the prime minister seize Honghua." Du Ruhui arched his hand and said: "It's just that the prime minister is in danger of the safety of the three armies, and he still has to be careful all the way forward." ”

After a period of governance by Li Yuan, Honghua became a famous county in Longyou, but with the departure of Li Yuan, Li Xin and Li Yuan competed for Guanzhong, and Honghua, a big county, became less important in Longyou. This cheapened Liang Shidu, and after the rebellion, he immediately occupied Diaoyin, Honghua, Yan'an and other counties, and proclaimed himself emperor. The country name Liang, Jianyuan "Yonglong". Liang Shidu also worshipped the Turks, became a child emperor himself, sat outside Shuofang, and Honghua let his cousin Liang Luoren guard it.

On this day, Liang Luoren was watching the song and dance in his Taishou Mansion, and his eyes narrowed slightly. His eyes were staring at the singer in the lobby, his eyes were deep, revealing a hint of joy, and on his left and right, there were two beautiful women, with a strong smile on their faces, and the twin peaks on their chests were constantly deformed in Liang Luoren's hands, but the two beautiful women did not dare to have any dissatisfaction. On both sides of the lobby, there are some civil and military subordinates, who are also watching singing and dancing, each holding a beautiful woman in their arms, Liang Shi is rebellious in the end, originally just a place of heroism, killed Shuofang County Cheng Tang Shizong, occupied Shuofang County to rebel. What powerful people could he have under him? In the last years of the Sui Dynasty, those who could be emperors were just strong soldiers and horses, where there were other things. This is true of Master Liang, and so is his cousin.

"General, general, no. Oh no. At this time, outside the lobby, a person dressed as a lieutenant broke in and said loudly: "General, there are thieves attacking the Gou family's compound twenty miles south of the city, and the housekeeper of the Gou family has come to report the news." ”

"Isn't it normal to have thieves? Now the world knows where there are no thieves. Liang Luoren waved his hand indifferently, in Honghua, who is the biggest bandit, not him Liang Luoren, but he suddenly thought of something, looked at the captain and said, "What did you just say, where did you encounter the bandits?" ”

"Twenty miles south of the city." The captain didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said loudly.

"Yes." Liang Luoren suddenly remembered that the concubine he had recruited was the young lady of the Gou family in Twenty Miles, at this time there were bandits attacking the Gou family, if something happened to the Gou family, I was afraid that his backyard would be restless, and the little goblin didn't know what to do.

"Li Zhengbao, how many soldiers and horses does the enemy have to attack Goujiazhuang?" Liang Luoren said loudly.

"There were about a thousand of them, but all cavalry." The lieutenant named Li Zhengbao said loudly.

"A thousand? You are also presumptuous in front of me? Li Zhengbao, leading 5,000 troops, went to exterminate this group of bandits. Liang Luoren suddenly said indifferently. Honghua is relatively close to Longyou, Longyou is Li Xin's territory, and Liang Shi let Liang Luoren garrison Honghua, which is also to defend Li Xin, and there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. In this way, even if Li Xin can't be prevented, at least he can hold on for a while.

"Yes." Li Zhengbao's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly replied, 5,000 men and horses are already one-sixth of Liang Luoren's soldiers and horses, and Li Zhengbao can lead so many soldiers and horses, and there are a few under Liang Luoren's command.

"Wait." Li Zhengbao was about to leave, but saw a general stand up, it was really Feng Duan, a general under Liang Luoren, who was not only Liang Luoren's general, but also his brother in life and death.

"What's wrong. Feng Duan? Liang Luoren frowned and asked.

"Where did this group of bandits come from? It won't be killed from Longyou! General, we have received news that Li Xin is patrolling the northwest with an army of 10,000, and this group of bandits cannot be Li Xin's fakes! If so, we need to be careful. Feng Duan cautiously explained.

"Probably not!" Liang Luoren's face also changed, and he said to Li Zhengbao: "Zhengbao, you go and take a look, see who those guys are, if they are sent by Li Xin, can you fight with them, but return to Honghua immediately, Li Xin is brave, although we have tens of thousands of troops, but we are not necessarily Li Xin's opponent, only by sticking to Honghua is right." A few days ago, Li Yuan sent someone to meet the imperial brother, preparing to unite the imperial brother to attack Liangzhou, he will support our grain, grass, gold, silver and jewelry, let us send troops to deal with Li Xin, and prepare to drag Li Xin. At this time, we can't make extraneous branches and let Li Xin realize that there is a problem in this. ”

"yes, I'll take a look." Li Zhengbao didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly retreated, led five thousand elite foot riders, and killed Goujiazhuang.

When I arrived at Goujiazhuang, I found that Goujiazhuang had become a sea of fire, and all the Gou family members were killed, both old and young. All the food, gold, silver and jewelry have been robbed, and all that remains is ruins. Li Zhengbao's face suddenly turned gloomy and trembled.

"Quick, look and see if anyone survives." Li Zhengbao also thought of the importance of Gou Jiazhuang, now that the Gou family is dead here, he thought that he was going to face Liang Luoren's anger, and suddenly became furious, and shouted at the soldiers around him. There was a sudden chaos around him.

"General, it's a bandit from Longxi, called Caoshangfei." Finally, someone found a person hiding in the dung pit, only to get information from the other party's mouth, and said: "There are more than 200 people brought by Caoshangfei this time, and the others are also bandits from Longxi, all of whom were driven over by the Great Sui, and they can't survive over there, they are going to loot in Honghua, and then go to the grassland, and they are now heading north." ”

"Damn." Li Zhengbao's face was hideous, and he said loudly to the soldiers around him: "Go, tell the general about this, and the rest of the people will follow me to pursue Caoshangfei, only by killing this person, the general will not blame us." Otherwise, we'll have to die. ”

The army rumbled and killed in the north, and it seemed very easy for 5,000 elites to pursue 1,000 bandits, and Li Zhengbao believed that he would soon be able to pursue these bandits.

"General, there's a fork in the road. There are many traces of war horses walking on the side of the road. When Honghua was thirty miles to the east, the roads in front of him suddenly became two, and Li Zhengbao found that there were traces of cavalry galloping on both roads.

Li Zhengbao thought for a while, and said to the soldiers around him: "The enemy is cunning, I am afraid that our division of troops at this time will be taken advantage of by the other party, look at the traces of these war horses, I am afraid that there are more than a thousand people, go, go and report to General Liang, let him send more soldiers and horses, hum, I don't believe that these bandits cannot be exterminated."
