Chapter 371: Capture Longxi

Longxi, next to the Longshan trail, Li Xin smiled and fiddled with the holy decree in his hand, on which was the acting king Yang Yu canonized Li Jing and Pei Renji in the name of Yang Guang, of course, Li Xin cared about the arrangement that the acting king Yang Yu gave him, and led 10,000 troops to Longxi, Li Xin suddenly laughed, Yang Yu or Wei Xuan and others were really naΓ―ve, thinking that there were still people listening to him.

The world is in turmoil, as long as Li Yuan dares to go south, Li Xin will dare to go east, fight for Guanzhong, and then reign for the world, this is Li Xin's established goal, no one can change this plan, even if it is the acting king.

"Governor, urgent information from the commander." There was a thin young man walking outside the big tent, only a pair of eyes flashed with fine light, and there was a faint hint of viciousness, it was Shen Qianqiu's deputy, called Ji Gang, who used to be a military supervision envoy, and was appointed by Li Xin as Shen Qianqiu's deputy, and was the deputy commander.

"What's going on with Li Yuan?" Li Xin took the information, opened it and looked at it, his face was stunned, and then he asked.

"I'm afraid it's not good over there, according to the brothers, the Turks have already been killed, Liu Wuzhou, Liang Shidu and others have already declared themselves to the Turks, and the Turkic Shibi Khan has led an army of more than 100,000 to Taiyuan, Li Yuan is afraid that he will suffer a big loss this time." Ji Gang said with some schadenfreude.

"Don't worry, the Turks can't help Li Yuan, there are many treasures and beauties in Jinyang Palace, Li Yuan has rough skin and thick flesh, he will definitely beg the Turks for mercy, the Turks are here for money and population, Li Yuan will satisfy them, and even give more, the Turkic cavalry is quite powerful, if you give some money, you can let the Turks help you fight, and it is not impossible to learn from us." Li Xin said indifferently. In history, he remembered that Li Yuan once surrendered under the banner of the Turks, in order to cater to the Turks. Li Yuan's father and son emptied the treasury of Taiyuan and Daxing successively in order to satisfy the greed of the Turks.

"Li Yuan is also famous, it's really shameless." Ji Gang said disdainfully. Hiring Hu people to expand their territory for themselves is the exclusive means of the northwest, after all, the Han people in the northwest are scarce, the Hu people are numerous, and Li Xin has a lot of money, so he has this capital and conditions, but Li Xin spends his own money, and Li Yuan spends the money of the imperial court. It is the people's fat and people's ointment of the imperial court.

"Pass the order, set off early tomorrow morning, quickly capture the city in front, and go to Longxi, since the acting king ordered us to enter Longxi, then we will enter Longxi!" Li Xin said indifferently, he had been waiting for a long time, and he knew that since the Turks had already killed Jinyang. Then it was time for Li Yuan to go south.

"Yes." Ji Gang's face was overjoyed, he finally didn't have to hide in the ravine anymore, and he could finally kill him.

Early the next morning, Li Xin personally led an army of 20,000 to rush out of the Longshan Trail. Chao Longxi killed him, because there was a holy decree of the king, and Li Xin's soldiers and horses were extremely powerful, no one dared to stop him. Li Xin's army was released into the city, but in two or three days, the county seat of Xiangwu County, Longxi City, appeared in front of Li Xin's army.

And Xiangwu County has long been in chaos. Zhao Kuangsheng, the Taishou of Longxi, hurriedly summoned the whole county, as well as Li Huaixiu of the Li family, to discuss how to deal with Li Xin's army.

"Li Xin's wolf ambition actually dared to attack Longxi, this is a rebellion, and Li Xin must not be allowed to enter the city." Li Huaixiu's voice came out in the mansion, his old face was flushed, full of anger, but there was a faint trace of panic in his eyes. Li Xin is Li Yuan's enemy, if he is allowed to occupy Longyou, the Li family in Longxi will face a catastrophe, although the Li family's money is mostly to support Li Yuan, but the Li family's grain and grass are hoarded in the granary, Li Huaixiu is not sure, Li Xin will not deal with the Li family. Therefore, he resolutely opposed Li Xin's entry into Longxi.

"But he has orders from the king! The acting king sits in the capital division, although it is not a holy decree, but it is almost the same as a holy decree. Uncle Juncheng rolled his eyes, shook his head and said.

"He is a disorder, how can we listen to him." Li Huaixiu snorted and glared at Uncle Wang, and said: "Li Xin's wolf ambition, who can't see the size of the world, if he is allowed to occupy Longyou, how many roads is our place from Jingshi, the next one is Tianshui, and then the land of Sanfu, and he will soon be able to enter Guanzhong." ”

"Humph! I heard that Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang Guo, had killed two generals, Gao Junya and Wang Wei. If you talk about rebellion, I'm afraid Tang Guogong's problem is the biggest! Uncle Wang said disdainfully: "Governor Li Xin came to Longyou on the order of the acting king, he was ordered by the holy decree, and we did not let him enter Longxi, so what are we, disobeying the will of the acting king?" Then we are rebels and thieves. ”

"Hmph, the acting king is just the acting king, not the emperor, Li Xin himself is the governor of the Western Regions, not the Taishou of Longxi, how can he be stationed in Longxi?" Li Huaixiu retorted loudly: "Lord Zhao, what do you say? ”

Zhao Kuangsheng's face changed, and finally sighed: "Although so, but Li Xin has 20,000 soldiers and horses, how many of us are in Longxi?" I'm afraid it's not Li Xin's opponent! Li believes in the edict of the acting king, and we oppose the edict of the acting king. Zhao Kuangsheng was also very helpless.

"Lord Zhao, the Tang Kingdom Guild remembers you." Li Huaixiu looked at Zhao Kuangsheng in a low voice and said, "Lord Zhao, do you think we still have a way out?" ”

Zhao Kuangsheng's face changed when he heard this, he suddenly remembered that his nephew had married Li Yuan's daughter, and he and Li Yuan were also in-laws, as soon as he thought of this, Zhao Kuangsheng suddenly looked at Wang Shuzhi with complicated eyes, Wang Shuzhi is a county prince, and he has a very good relationship with him, assisting him in governing Longyou, but now he can only be sorry for his friend.

"Lord Taishou, Li Xin has 20,000 troops, and my Longxi can't resist Li Xin's army." Uncle Wang still dissuaded.

"My Li family is willing to send 2,000 elite soldiers." Li Huaixiu's face was hideous, and he looked at Uncle Wang viciously and said: "Longxi City is not only a Li family, but also other families, and everyone is united, and there are more than 10,000 elites, plus the government soldiers, it is enough to resist Li Xin's army." ”

Zhao Kuangsheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and after thinking about it carefully, it was really possible, Longyou was a military town, and the city was strong, if there were tens of thousands of troops holding it, it might not be impossible to block Li Xin under the city.

"You guys, like chickens and dogs, actually want to stick to the city and block the soldiers and horses of the Grand Governor? Lord Zhao, since you have made a decision, then Longyou doesn't need me as a person, I will go home, as for killing or chopping, listen to it. Uncle Wang glanced at Zhao Kuangsheng and Li Huaixiu with disdain, turned around and walked out of the mansion.

"Damn." Li Huaixiu looked at Wang Shuzhi who walked out slowly, his eyes flickered, and he wanted to kill the other party.

"Forget it, what can he do as a scholar? For now, it is better to gather everyone and gather soldiers and horses, Li Xin is about to arrive, so don't make any extraneous branches. Uncle Zhi is still some people in Longyou. Zhao Kuangsheng saw Li Huaixiu's thoughts and said lightly. After all, he was his subordinate, and although he left him, Zhao Kuangsheng still didn't want Li Huaixiu to kill him.

"Then it's cheaper for him." Li Huaixiu glared at Uncle Wang viciously, and said, "I'm going to gather everyone, hehe, in Longyou, there is nothing that my Li family can't do." ”

It is true that as Li Huaixiu said, in Longxi, there is indeed nothing that his Li family can't do. However, in one day, Li Huaixiu gathered nearly 10,000 military forces in Longyou, mostly private soldiers, family members, etc., Li Huaixiu opened the Longxi treasury, distributed all kinds of weapons, and in one day, these family members were armed to participate in the defense of Longyou City. With the participation of nearly 10,000 people, Zhao Kuangsheng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and he felt that he had the confidence to resist Li Xin.

It's just that to Zhao Kuang's surprise, Li Xin did not lead the army to attack Longxi, but stayed under the city, and Li Xin did not make any moves for a day, and Zhao Kuangsheng suddenly felt a little uneasy. It's just that although Zhao Kuangsheng and the others were surprised and uneasy, they didn't dare to forcibly attack Li Xin, everyone knew that Li Xin's martial arts were very powerful, not comparable to Zhao Kuangsheng and others.

In the evening, a cavalry rushed out of Li Xin's camp, the cavalry was very loud, shouting loudly under the city, which probably means that Li Xin was ordered by the king to sit in Longyou, Zhao Kuangsheng refused to enter the city, conspired to rebel, and asked the soldiers to open the city gate, otherwise it would be the nine clans of Zhulian Yunyun. It's a pity that some of the soldiers in Longxi City are the children of the family, and some of them are the government soldiers of Longxi, but they are under the control of Zhao Kuangsheng, and no one dares to move.

"Li Xinji's skills are poor!" Li Huaixiu looked at Li Xin's army under the city and immediately burst out laughing.

"Not bad." Zhao Kuangsheng nodded, but he didn't speak, and he was still a little worried in his heart. However, after the cavalry shouted under the city for a while, he roared away, and there was no movement again, and Zhao Kuangsheng was much more relieved.

At night, Longxi City fell into silence, and although Li Xin's army was outside during the day, it did not launch any attack, and his heart was much more stable, and many people fell asleep.

Suddenly, a loud noise came from the north gate, followed by the shouting of killing, the north gate was on fire, some people shouted the words of disarming and not killing, countless cavalry entered the city from the north gate, but it was Li Xin's army that killed in. The Longxi garrison itself is just a government soldier, although a lot of people were added later, but it is also a family private soldier is composed of family members, discipline is scattered, where is the opponent of Li Xin's army, when it encounters a sudden attack, there is no chance to react, let the Zhengxi army enter the city.

"What's going on?" Zhao Kuangsheng suddenly got up from the little concubine's bed, looked at the firelight in the distance, and suddenly turned pale with fright and didn't know what to do. How did he know that before Li Xin went to Longshan Trail, he ordered Jinyiwei and Zhongnan Eighteen Cavalry to enter Longxi and wait for his arrival again. The soldiers and horses of Longxi were caught off guard, and Li Xin was allowed to attack Longxi City in an instant, and Longxi fell. (To be continued......)
