On the one hand, because of the climate, from last winter to the present, it has rained very little in Hebei, and the people are not living, and the second aspect is Yang Guang's Eastern Crusade, although there is no tax increase, but the conscription, military endowment, etc. have increased a lot. Yang Guang's conscription made many people flee in the land of Hebei, but many fat girls' land could only be abandoned there, and no one went to cultivate it.

At this time, on the official road to Luoyang, a pair of soldiers and horses were walking slowly, and the soldiers and horses were very majestic, and even the pace was the same when walking. On the banner headed by the leader, there is not only the dragon flag of the Great Sui, but also a banner with the word "Li". In front of the army, there was a person holding the Fang Tian Painting Halberd, heroic and majestic, who was not Li Xin.

"General, natural disasters and man-made disasters have caused many more bandits, and the last general has found a lot of bandits along the way. It's a pity that the military situation is urgent, otherwise, the last general will definitely lead his troops to exterminate it, so as not to harm the common people. Yan said loudly.

"His Majesty the Emperor used the people's power indiscriminately, so there is today's thing." Li Xin shook his head and said. In the face of this situation, Li Xin can't say anything, really speaking, now he is also cultivating his own private forces, he is also a conspirator, a careerist, thinking that it is to seize the country from the hands of the Great Sui. Unlike others, now he is only hiding in the Great Sui army, or serving the Great Sui court, and by the way, he is even strangling those who rebel. He is no different from those Sun Anzu, Zhang Jincheng and the like.

"It's a pity that these fertile fields are there!" Yan Sù sighed in a low voice.

"What's up ahead?" Li Xin did not answer Yan Sù's words, although Yang Guang's abuse of people's power was one aspect, but the real source of chaos was the family, the family hid a large number of people, which reduced the taxes of the imperial court, and the family had a great influence, and once it conflicted with the imperial power, they would threaten the imperial power. Just like now, if those bandits did not have the support of one or two families behind them, how could they escape the strangulation of the Great Sui soldiers and horses.

It is precisely because of the family's appeasement policy that there will be chaos in Hebei. These families are bloodsuckers attached to the imperial power, and if you don't pay attention to it, the imperial power will be subverted and swayed by the family.

"General, there is Wuyi in front." Yan Sù hurriedly said: "Wuyi is a big county, presumably we can replenish some grain and grass from Shiping." ”

"General, Wuyi was attacked by a group of bandits." At this time, there was a sound of horses' hooves, but it was the sentry who was released who rushed back and passed the news from the front to Li Xin. In the land of Hebei, although Li Xin also has more than 10,000 soldiers and horses around him, there are more bandits, and if they are united, even Li Xin can only escape.

"Let's go, go over and take a look, since we have met, we will destroy it." Li Xin said indifferently. In troubled times, talents are of little use, only military merit is the foundation of survival and the source of their own strength.

Wuyi County, as a county-level city, the city wall is not tall, but Wuyi's water resources are relatively rich, the climate is mild, around the Fuyang River, there are countless fertile fields, it is a traditional agricultural county, and the grain output is very large, which also makes Wuyi become a well-known granary nearby, so that the surrounding thieves often come to wreak havoc in Wuyi County.

However, Wuyi people are not simple characters, Hebei is more heroic, in Wuyi County, the most famous is the Su family father and son, father Su Yong, son Su Dingfang are rare heroes in the state and county. There are many bandits in Hebei, Su Yong led more than 1,000 people in his hometown to help the state and county resist the invasion of bandits, and his son Su Dingfang is even more brave, and the father and son are also famous in the countryside.

At this moment, the attack on Wuyi is the general Zhou Liang under the command of the thief Zhang Jincheng, who is also a native of Wuyi, speaking of which, it has a little relationship with Su Yong's father and son, this Zhou Liang used to be just a ranger, and he did a lot of things like stealing chickens and touching dogs, and later after being taught a lesson by Su Yong, he fled from Wuyi and joined Zhang Jincheng's team, he also had a little courage, and was valued by Zhang Jincheng, promoted to general, led 10,000 soldiers, and prepared to attack Wuyi and seize Wuyi's grain and grass.

"Dingfang, Zhou Liang is from Wuyi, he knows the reality of Wuyi, this time I came to attack, our army is small, I am afraid that there will be more than one luck, my father wants you to break out of the encirclement, go to find reinforcements, and ask him to save us." Su Yong looked at the dense chaos army under the city and said with some worry.

"Father, His Majesty the Emperor has drawn all the reinforcements from Hebei to clean up, where is there any army, I heard that Yang Xuan of Liyang is disgusted, even if there is an army, they will only defend Liyang's army, how can they care about the life or death of my Wuyi." Su Dingfang is young, although he was born very ordinary, but he only has a pair of eyes, which are shining, as if they are flames, and he looks extremely brave. How did he not know that his father was asking him to find reinforcements, but he actually wanted to let himself break out of the siege and not end up with a broken city and be killed. You must know that once Wuyi County is breached, other people may still be able to survive, but the father and son of the Su family, who have an enmity with Zhou Liang, will definitely not end well.

At this time, the earth shook, smoke and dust rose in the distance, and from a distance, a pair of black shadows appeared in the sky, and countless cavalry could be faintly seen rushing to kill.

"Father, our reinforcements are coming." Su Dingfang's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but say, "I don't know who led it, but I actually came here at this time." At this time, they found the enemy camp under the city in chaos, as if they had discovered something terrible.

"Father, let's kill together." Su Dingfang was ready to lead the army to rush out.

"General Xiao Su, slow down, what if this is the enemy's strategy to lure the enemy?" The Wuyi County Commander strode over from a distance, and he also saw the chaos under the city.

"Lord Zhang, please rest assured, there are cavalry in the distance, although there are a lot of thieves, but the cavalry can not be formed overnight, Su Yong can conclude that the person who comes must be a reinforcement sent by the imperial court." Su Yong said happily.

"Then we have to be cautious, after the overall situation is decided, it is not too late to rush and kill, since there are so many cavalry in the imperial court reinforcements, it must be easy to eliminate Zhou Liang." Zhang Xianling hesitated for a moment, Fang shook his head and said: "We have few people, once we send soldiers and horses, there are thieves who take the opportunity to attack, how about it?" ”

Su Dingfang was still about to refute, but when he saw his father shaking his head, he could only put the dissatisfaction in his heart in his heart, standing on the city wall, and watching the chaotic battle under the city. This can be said not to be described by chaotic warfare, it can be said to be a killing, Su Dingfang saw the general headed by him, holding the Fang Tian painting halberd, rushing in the army, there is almost no enemy under his hands, and the soldiers of his army are also extremely brave, cooperate with each other, have a reasonable division of labor, and quickly kill the enemy in front of him. Zhou Liang didn't have time to resist at all, and was scattered by the army. In just an hour, more than 10,000 troops were routed by reinforcements and fled in all directions. The siege of Wuyi was easily lifted, and Su Dingfang's heart shook when he saw it, and he was extremely envious, eager to join this army and gallop across the field.
