Wen Hao's words just now were ambiguous. Li Jian did persuade him to stay in Changsong for another night, but the purpose was to ask Old Lady Li to persuade him to serve the Li family. And these words fell into the ears of Mrs. Li, but it meant another layer, it was clear that Li Jian and Wen Hao had already colluded and forced the Li family to tie up the other party's chariot. This is simply contrary to Li Jian's original intention. But Mrs. Li didn't know what was going on, and his face became more and more ugly.

Li Jian is also a smart person, knowing that he can't tell clearly even if he is full of mouths now, Suo Xìng was ruthless, took the initiative to carry this black cauldron, and said: "Old lady, Yu culture and difficult to become a big weapon, General Wen They are protecting the orthodoxy of the Great Sui, our Li family must not stay out of it!" The child thought that the Li family should try their best to help General Wen capture Xiangwu City and capture Yu Wenhua. Please think twice! ”

Wen Hao's original intention was to hope that the Li family would stay out of the matter, so as to cut off one of Yu Wenhua's strong reinforcements, but he didn't expect Li Jian to say such a thing, so he couldn't help but be overjoyed, patted his chest and said: "Mr. Li, my lord has always had clear grievances. Although there is no help from the Li family, Xiangwu is also in the pocket of my family. If the Li family can take the initiative to help Wen take Xiangwu City, although Wen does not dare to make any promises, but with the behavior of my father-in-law, he will definitely not treat the Li family badly! ”

Old lady Li already knew that Wen Hao was not a person who could call the shots, and if Wen Hao made a wish casually, it would be insincere. Now that Wen Hao said this, Mrs. Li believed it a little, and said in a deep voice: "It's okay to ask my Li family to help, but the old man also has a condition." ”

Wen Hao was overjoyed and said, "Old gentleman, please speak!" ”

Old lady Li stroked her long beard under her chin, and said solemnly: "The Li family only arranges for generals and men to enter the city, and does not participate in the capture of Yu Wenhua and Emperor Yang Yu. ”

This is exactly where Old Lady Li's jīng is clear. He can help Wen Hao deal with Yu Wenhua today, and he may help someone else to deal with Wen Hao's lord in the future. Most of the people in the top position are suspicious, and once they leave the impression of capriciousness on Wen Hao's lord, the Li family's future rìzi is afraid that it will be even more difficult. Old lady Li seems to have put forward a condition, but in fact, he just wants to show an attitude that their Li family will not intervene too much in the struggle for power between the DPRK and China.

Wen Hao couldn't hear the words of Old Lady Li, but his purpose was only to enter Xiangwu City smoothly. It was already an unexpected joy that the Li family could arrange for his people to enter the city, and he still had something unwilling to agree, so he immediately waved his hand and said, "Old Mr. Li, don't worry, as long as I wait to enter the city, the Li family does not need the help of the children of the Li family to fight." ”

Old Lady Li nodded and said, "Since the old man is determined to help the general, how can he stand by and watch." Without further ado, the old man took the first step to prepare. Jian'er, you stay here, General Yinwen enters the city from the west gate of Xiangwu! ”

People are old and become jīng, and Mrs. Li will not really tie the Li family to Liu Ziqiu's chariot with a few words, not to mention that he still doesn't know who Liu Ziqiu is. He arranged it this way, and first got himself out of danger. On the other hand, mobilize the Li family's private soldiers. If Wen Hao's army was really as strong as they had shown, he would naturally be the icing on the cake. If Wen Hao's 3,000 cavalry were vulnerable, he would have no choice but to fight back. When the time comes, he can also claim to be a plan in front of Yu Wenhua, and quote Wen Hao and others to take the bait.

Wen Hao's department had already been assembled, but there was nothing to prepare, and with an order, the army rose up and marched towards Xiangwu. It's just that there is still a lot of grain and grass in the army, but the speed is not fast for a while, and when you arrive at the west gate of Xiangwu City, the city gate has been opened, and the sky is already bright.

From afar, a group of soldiers greeted them, and one of them arched his hand and asked, "Where is Lord Li?" ”

Li Jiance immediately stepped forward and saluted: "General Cheng, it's hard work!" ”

This General Cheng is a captain of Ximen, and his wife is a member of the Li family in Longxi, who has been funded by the Li family for a long time, and can be regarded as half of the Li family. Today, Captain Cheng was on duty at the city gate, so Mrs. Li let them enter the city through the west gate, just because there was this Captain Cheng who could respond internally. However, there are some secrets that these peripheral children of the Li family can know. Captain Cheng looked at the hundreds of grain trucks, shook his head again and again, and said, "Brother Li, it's not the junior brother who is talking nonsense. The little emperor is stationed in Xiangwu, and our Li family has not reaped any benefits. And he sent them so much grain and grass, and he was careful that he was in vain. ”

Yu Wenhua and the army of the first series fell into a stalemate with Yang Xuangan in the two counties of Beidi and Fufeng, and even fell behind, which is already an open secret among the defenders of Xiangwu City, not to mention that Captain Cheng knows, even many ordinary soldiers know it.

Li Jian didn't dare to say more, so he snorted and said, "It's not something we can ask about." Brother Cheng, just guard your door. ”

The two of them exchanged a few more pleasantries, and the enlarged team entered the city. The soldiers guarding the door felt strange and asked, "General Cheng, are these all from the Li family?" Why haven't most people seen it in small ways? ”

Xiangwu is the county seat of Longxi, and the entire Longxi belongs to the territory of the Li family, and some of these soldiers under Captain Cheng belong to the Li family, even if they do not belong to the Li family, most of them are related to the Li family. Seeing that these people were tight-faced, and there were many foreign faces, the soldiers were inevitably suspicious.

Captain Cheng then understood why Mrs. Li sent someone to inform him to come to pick him up. If it is an ordinary Li family sending grain into the city, it can be above board. On the territory of Longxi, who dares to fight the idea of the Li family's grain team, and why does he need to respond? It turned out that there was a problem with this food team. Regardless of whether there was a problem with the grain team, he didn't dare to disobey Old Lady Li's order, so he lowered his face and shouted: "Stand up to your post, what do you do with so many idle things!" ”

The army entered the city, Wen Hao whistled, and the army was immediately divided into three teams, one team went to the palace, one team went to the Longxi Palace, and one team went to the east gate. The two thousand soldiers dressed as soldiers also drew their knives and guns from under the grain cart and rushed to the north and south gates respectively. In fact, the guards at the north gate are also the children of the Li family, but Mrs. Li refuses to show all the hole cards, and Wen Hao can only treat them as Yu Wenhua's subordinates.

Wen Hao had a long lance in his hand, and personally led an army to kill the mansion. According to the information provided by Li Jian, Yu Wenhua is in the government at the moment, so there are heavy soldiers around the palace. It's just that Yu Wenhua didn't expect that someone would enter the city from the west, and the government guards were defenseless at all. When Wen Hao's army arrived outside the mansion, Yu Wenhua got the report and hurriedly sent troops to resist.

The first to lead the troops to arrive was Yu Wenhua and his general Chen Botu. Chen Botu was on the school field at that time, preparing to reinforce Fufeng County, which was unfavorable in the war, and immediately led 5,000 men and horses to return to the Longxi Mansion to aid the Longxi Mansion when he got the news, and he was bumping into Wen Hao and his party.

Chen Botu relied on his martial arts again, and even deceived Wen Hao into having few soldiers, so he rushed over on his horse first. Wen Hao greeted each other, the two horses intersected, and the two fought together. After about seven or eight rounds of fighting, Wen Hao sold a flaw and set the horse aside. Chen Botu does not suspect fraud, and he is very stabbed. Unexpectedly, Wen Hao took out his saber and slashed it away, cutting the long lance in Chen Botu's hand in two. Chen Botu didn't expect Wen Hao's saber to be so sharp, so he was taken aback and left. Wen Hao's horse was fast, he caught up from behind, his hand fell, stabbed Chen Botu under the horse, and another lance resulted in his life.

The Lord will die, and the remnant will be in chaos. Deputy General Zhao Xingshu killed a number of retreating soldiers one after another, which barely stopped the chaos, but Wen Hao had already waved his army to kill in front of him. Zhao Xingshu shouted and ordered the soldiers to step forward. In the street battles, the cavalry could not be spread, and the characteristics of the cavalry could not be brought into play. Zhao Xingshu's subordinates were all infantry, and many of them were armed with long lances, which was suitable for restraining cavalry in street battles. Chen Botu is dead, and if he can defeat this team of enemies who have appeared out of nowhere, he can replace Chen Botu in Yu Wenhua and his subordinates.

However, he was taken aback by the strength of the cavalry on the other side. Instead of using their bows and arrows, as he had imagined, the cavalrymen drew their slender sabers. The first 100 cavalry rushed into the advance formation, slashing left and right. Although cavalry kept falling from their horses, the remaining cavalry were still not afraid of death, and they fought their way through the infantry formation. Wen Hao pointed a long lance in his left hand, and brandished a saber in his right hand, slashing all the way over. Zhao Xingshu couldn't resist and fled in defeat.

At this moment, Old Lady Li was sitting in a carriage outside Xiangwu City, listening to his subordinates report on the progress of the battle in the city. Hearing that Wen Hao defeated Yu Wenhua and 5,000 men and horses with only 1,000 cavalry, and killed Yu Wenhua and his general Chen Botu, he couldn't help but secretly rejoice. This group of men and horses is really good at fighting, even without the help of the Li family, it is a matter of early time for such a strong army to defeat Yu Wenhua. If Li Jian hadn't made contact with this army of unknown origin in time, his Li family might have been included in Yu Wenhua's party, and at that time, the Li family might usher in a bloody storm.

Old Lady Li waved her hand and ordered: "Tell the people in the Li family in the army and let them lead their troops to surrender!" ”

For the people of the Li family, the orders of the head of the family were far greater than the decrees of the imperial court. As soon as Old Lady Li's order was issued, and before it reached the city, news came that Wen Hao's army had captured the four gates, and the children of the Li family guarding the north gate had died in the chaos.

Old lady Li sighed and had nothing to say. It is precisely because of his two ends that he helped Wen Hao, but also didn't want to offend Yu Wenhua too much, which caused such consequences. Wen Hao's army was too brave, and Yu Wenhua and the more than 10,000 defenders in the city collapsed in the blink of an eye. Old lady Li did not make a decisive choice, and ruined the lives of many children of the Li family in vain. Of course, these things can only rot in his stomach and will never be said.

Suddenly, news came that Wen Hao had already attacked the Xiangwu City Mansion.

It has only been half an hour since Mrs. Li asked Wen Hao's military horses to enter the city. Old Lady Li's heart was shocked, and she asked repeatedly, "What about Yu Wenhua?" ”
