。 The common people of an agrarian society have a strong endurance. Even in the face of oppression, he behaves very gently. But. Too much oppression inevitably leads to revolt. How many powerful regimes have been in history. In the end, it was all ruined by tyranny. Lesson. The division of the rear car. What's more. Liu Ziqiu's purpose of attacking Wuwei was different from that of the nomadic tribes. If these people have nothing to live on. In the end, the government will need to provide relief. The soldiers walked through several villages and towns. As a result, only a few elderly people who did not want to leave home were found. The old people still have doubts about Liu Ziqiu's army. Dead and alive refused to persuade their fellow villagers to get out of the mountains. But. The soldiers who were working in the fields were in full swing. The fields were soon filled with harvested crops.

Liu Ziqiu watched as a stubble of crops was harvested. Casually asked, "What do you want to do next?"

One of the soldiers replied, "Bring it to the barn." Threshing, raising grain, drying grain."

Liu Ziqiu nodded. "Then don't go quickly."

The soldiers looked at the crops in the fields with embarrassed faces. Said: "Lord. I can't tell whose crops belong to them. Shipping to the grain yard will definitely be confusing. See if it's just piled up in the field. It's up to them to come back and pick it up."

"Help people to the end." Liu Ziqiu waved his hand. Dao." Aren't there still a few old people in the village? They must know which land belongs to which family. Bring them in. Find pen and paper. Write it down."

The old people heard that these soldiers also threshed and dried the grain. It is also necessary to register which grains belong to whom. All were taken aback. They have also lived a long way forward. Such an army do not say that it has ever been seen. I've never heard of it. A few old men believed what the soldiers said. Leave the village to find and summon the villagers home. Then some old men came to the fields. Help the soldiers sort out where the crops belong.

It was busy until dusk. The villagers who had taken refuge in the mountains and forests returned one after another. Look at the piles of grain in the grain field. The people were excited. thanked Liu Ziqiu repeatedly. Ji Rentai said with some regret: "My lord. The timing has been missed. We can't fight Guzang City yet."

"Hit." Liu Ziqiu said with a firm face. Although our goal is Yu culture and . But don't knock out Gu Zang. That's a thorn in our back. So. No matter how much it costs. I also want to conquer Guzang City."

An old man next to him suddenly said, "My lord. You're going to fight Guzang City. Xiaomin is willing to contribute on Tuesday."

Liu Ziqiu smiled and said, "Uncle. Your kindness Liu has a heart. Let's go to war."

Old Man Zhou shook his head. said: "Adults don't know. Xiaomin's son worked as a city gate captain in Guzang City. The mins are willing to go and convince him to open the gates."

Liu Ziqiu hesitated for a long time. Said: "No. It's too dangerous to do that."

Zhou Laohan gritted his teeth and said: "Xiaomin has lived a lot of years. But he also understands the truth that whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world. The final victory will definitely belong to the army that can genuinely help the common people. The little people went to the city. It can also save the dog's life. I hope your grace will grant it."

When carrying food with the soldiers. Zhou Laohan asked these soldiers about their origins. Knowing that these people turned out to be freed slaves. You know that the morale of this army is absolutely high. Feng Xiaoci had already led the troops to leave last night. There must be emptiness in the city of Guzang. It will definitely not stop the attack of this army. After the city was broken. His son was either killed in battle or taken prisoner. It's better to take a dedication to the city.

Liu Ziqiu nodded. Finally agreed to Zhou Laohan's request. said: "Then the soldiers under the command of Liu are grateful to the old man. My husband is going to be careful. If you can't do anything. When trying to get out of the way. Guzang City. Liu didn't pay attention to it. The old man must not give away his life in vain."

Listened to Liu Ziqiu's words. Zhou Laohan was even more determined to convince his son.

After Feng Xiaoci left. Left behind in Guzang City was his only son Feng Jing. Soon after Liu Ziqiu captured Changsong County. The news reached Guzang City. There are still 3,000 horses left in the city of Guzang. Feng Jing didn't dare to move lightly. He sent someone to Zhangye to report to Feng Xiaoci. One side closes four doors. Mobilize the people to defend the city. It's been a whole day. I didn't see any enemy coming. The night is getting deeper. The defenders of Guzang City also slowly relaxed.

Dongmen Lieutenant Zhou often takes off his armor. Just lay down on a low couch. I listened to the soldiers: "The old man is here."

Zhou Chang sat up suddenly. Surprised, he asked, "My father is here. How did he get into town?"

The soldier smiled: "The old man is calling the door under the city. See the little ones. Put a bamboo basket and hang the old man up."

Zhou Chang frowned and said, "But there are other people who know."

The soldier whispered: "Don't worry, my lord. The people on duty today are all henchmen of adults. No one will talk nonsense."

Soon. A soldier lured Zhou Laohan in. Zhou Chang "plopped" and fell to the ground. Kowtowed: "Dad. Is there something wrong with the family? The children are in the military. Don't dare to leave without permission. But my father was frightened."

I often want to come in the week. The cavalry that broke into Wuwei County did not come to attack Guzang City. Apparently went to the four towns and eight villages to loot. The family who lives in the country must have suffered.

"Not bad. Something happened at home. Out of you, such an unfilial son who is good or bad." Zhou Laohan split his head and covered his face, and scolded Zhou Chang all the time. And then said. Lord Liu's army is just outside the city. You hastened to open the gates. Let Master Liu in."

Zhou Chang said blankly: "Which Lord Liu. It's full of bandits from nomadic tribes."

"Phew." Old man Zhou smacked him hard. Dao." Lord Liu is the orthodox of the Great Sui. That's the eldest grandson of the first emperor. You have now opened the gates of the city. It's still too late. Wait until the army has entered the city. When the time comes, don't cause the whole family to suffer with you."

Zhou Laohan is soft and hard grinding. Again and again Chen said the stakes. Zhou Chang is still hesitant.

Suddenly. One of the soldiers ran in. With an anxious face, he said, "My lord. Oh no. The enemy has climbed into the city."

Zhou Changyi was stunned. He said angrily, "What are you doing to eat? Why don't you show jǐng?"

The soldiers wept and mourned. He said, "The brethren have been struck down by him. If he hadn't asked the villain to bring the message to the adult. The villain can't get out."

"With words. What to bring."

The soldiers glanced at Old Zhou who was standing next to him. said, "The man said. Those who know the times are Junjie. The gates of the city were opened. Everything is in order. Otherwise. He will slay down the city. When the time comes, the chickens and dogs will not be left."

Zhou Chang frowned and said, "There are a few of them."

The pro-soldier sighed: "I still want a few people. We're not a rival alone."

Zhou Laohan took the opportunity to persuade again: "Chang'er. What is Feng Xiaoci good for you. The sky is just a gatekeeper. If you dedicate Guzang City. Lord Liu will ensure that you are the Taishou of Wuwei."

"That's true." Zhou Chang is a little excited.

"Lord Liu said it to me personally. There can also be fake. Besides. You don't open the gates. They've already come in."

Zhou Chang finally made up his mind. A few cases said: "Okay. Call all the brethren together. Open the gates. Surrender."

Liu Ziqiu stood at the head of the city. Watch as the city walls slowly open. A smile on his face. Just now, when the defenders of the city put down the bamboo basket and hung Zhou Laohan up. Liu Ziqiu took the opportunity to climb the city on the other side with a flying catch. His original flying catch has been lost under the cliff in the western suburbs of Luoyang. This flying catch was newly made by He Chou according to Liu Ziqiu's description. Because there is no wire rope. It was replaced with a tough fine hemp rope. Although it is not as good as the original flying catch. But in this decade. It's already a great climbing weapon. Of course, he can kill the city. Single-handedly open the gates of the city. But doing so would inevitably alarm the other defenders in the city. It is bound to cause some trouble for the besieging soldiers. So Liu Ziqiu still pinned his hopes on Zhou Laohan. Sure enough, it worked.

Brigades of cavalry swarmed into the city. Horseshoe gusts. Woke up the sleeping soldiers and civilians. Feng Jing didn't have time to put on it. He rushed out of the house with a sword. is bumping into Da stunned and his party to seize the mansion. Da was stunned and didn't know who he was. Hands up and down. Cut Feng Jing into two pieces.

At dawn. The battle of Guzang has finally come to an end. Of the more than 3,000 defenders of the city, 2,500 were taken prisoner. More than 500 others were killed on the spot. The people hid in their homes and were terrified. I'm afraid someone will break through the door. But until noon. There was no movement. Some brave people moved ladders and put them on the courtyard wall, burying them and looking outside. Found the streets in order. Except for the occasional patrolling soldier passing by. There is nothing out of the ordinary.

Life goes on. It's not an idea to stay at home all the time. Some shops have quietly opened their doors. Soon a soldier burst in. The shopkeeper trembled. But the soldiers paid for what they bought. There was no extortion, no extortion, no extortion. One pass ten. Ten to hundred. The people of the city soon knew. It wasn't some nomadic tribe that came into the city. Rather, it was the Great Sui's own army. It's just that these armies and Feng Xiaoci don't support the same emperor. But then again. The military discipline of this army is much better than Feng Xiaoci's army. It's late afternoon. Guzang City has completely returned to normal. It's even more prosperous than in the past.

……

Just when Liu Ziqiu captured Guzang City. Wen Hao and Fan Lihua also laid down Jincheng Pass. This couple is strong in martial arts and has a good art of war. He is the most effective one and a half generals under Liu Ziqiu. Because Fan Lihua has always refused to admit that she is Liu Ziqiu's subordinate. So it can only be counted as half.

It wasn't easy for them to make the call. There have been several tough battles in between. The first battle was the attack on Imjin Pass. Imjin Pass is between Tangshu Mountain and Fenglin Mountain. The terrain is dangerous. Easy to defend and difficult to attack. Imjin guards will be yellowed into always cautious. Every day, you have to go to the rì three poles to open and close the door. The sun is just setting in the west and is about to shut down. You can't get into it at all. There is only one way to attack.

Fortunately, Wen Hao and Fan Lihua led the most good people. It is equipped with large equipment such as trebuchets and ballistas. The trebuchet frantically threw the boulder onto the head of the Imjin Seki Fortress. The ballista nailed iron arrows to the city walls. The brave soldiers of the standing army climbed up on iron arrows and braved the rain of arrows from both sides. More than eight hundred casualties were paid. Only then did the Imjin Pass be captured.

Thenceforth. When attacking the city of Caohan and the city of Great Xia. This army again met with stubborn resistance. Including Jincheng Pass. They were all attacked with real swords and guns. Although the entire army paid fifteen hundred casualties. But morale is still high.

Wen Hao stood at the head of the city at the head of the golden city. Looking at the verdant Bird and Mouse Mountain not far away. asked, "Yu'er. Finally completed the task given by the main bus. Isn't it time to announce the good news to the Lord?"
