Zhai Rang had also heard of Li Mi's name, and said repeatedly: "Pushan Gong is here?" Hurry up, please! ”

When Li Mi stepped into the hall, he felt that the atmosphere in the hall was a little depressing, and couldn't help laughing: "What difficulties did the big boss encounter?" ”

Zhai Rang was a rough man and didn't have any scheming, so he said honestly: "Don't dare to hide from Pushan Gong, Zhang Xutuo is too pressing!" ”

Li Mi smiled and said: "Zhang Xutuo is brave and strategic, so there is no need to worry. Li has a plan to capture Zhang Xutuo! ”

Standing under Zhai Rang, the first person said unhappily: "My 50,000 troops in Wagang have been killed and scattered by Zhang Xutuo, what virtue do you have, dare to speak out like this!" ”

Li Mi was not angry, and asked, "Who dare to ask the general?" ”

The man said in a thick voice: "A certain Naiwagang general Shan Xiongxin is also!" ”

Li Mi bowed his head and said: "It turned out to be General Shan, and Li Mou has heard the name of General for a long time." If you want to break Zhang Xutuo, you should borrow the power of the general! ”

A white-robed general on the other side arched his hand and asked, "Dare to ask Mr. Li what will be done?" ”

Li Mi said unhurriedly: "Who is this general?" ”

The white-robed general's attitude was much more humble than Shan Xiongxin's, and he bowed down and said, "Under Wang Bodang!" ”

During the time that Li Mi was under Yang Xuangan, he also knew a lot about the situation of the heroes in the world, and couldn't help laughing: "The name of General Wang's divine shooting, Li has also heard of it. There are brave generals such as General Shan and General Wang under the command of the big boss, so why worry about Zhang Xutuo not breaking! Why did Li Yuan send Zhang Xutuo to attack Wagang? It's just to relieve the siege of Xingyang. According to Li's opinion, Wagangzhai is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Zhang Xutuo's subordinates have few troops, so it is impossible to capture it. ”

Shan Xiongxin said coldly: "Isn't this nonsense? If he can't attack it, will we be trapped in the village! ”

Zhai Rang heard that Li Mi had something to say, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Xiongxin, please listen to Mr. Li." ”

Li Mi didn't mind, smiled and continued: "Zhang Xutuo naturally doesn't like to attack. As long as the big boss leads an army to continue to attack Xingyang, he will inevitably follow. There is a sea temple in the north of Xingyang, and there are many dense forests behind the temple. Li led the troops to ambush in the forest, waiting for Zhang Xutuo's army and horses to assault, and hit him together, Zhang Xutuo could be captured! ”

Zhai let himself have no opinions, and didn't think much about it, stroked his palm and said, "Okay!" Just according to Mr. Lee! ”

After Zhang Xutuo defeated the vanguard of Wagangzhai, the soldiers were extremely tired, but in order to complete the task assigned by the holy decree, he repeatedly urged his subordinates to speed up. Suddenly, a scout came to report that Wagangzhai had attacked Xingyang all the way.

Xingyang is the gateway to the east of Luoyang, and if Xingyang is lost, Luoyang will be in danger. Zhang Xutuo gritted his teeth and ordered: "Quick, to the west!" ”

Qin Shubao hurriedly persuaded: "General, since the Wagang army is attacking Xingyang, the village must be empty, it is better to storm the Wagang village!" ”

Zhang Xutuo shook his head and said, "The casualties of the assault are too great, and the officers and men in the army can't afford to lose them. Chasing to the west, maybe he can join forces with Lord Yang in Xingyang to completely annihilate this Wagang army, and also give the soldiers a chance to breathe. ”

In fact, Zhang Xutuo's words also make sense, but these have long fallen into Li Mi's calculations.

Zhang Xutuo personally led a large army to chase and kill, and when he arrived outside Xingyang City, it was already dark, and the soldiers were hungry and thirsty.

Luo Shixin persuaded: "General, set up camp here first, and then go tomorrow at dawn!" ”

Zhang Xutuo sighed and said, "Saving soldiers is like fighting fire, how can you and I be allowed to rest?" Tell the brethren to cheer up and chase after you overnight! ”

It's a pity that his army has not undergone the same hard training as the Western Navy, and his army does not have emergency foods such as fried noodles and dried meat that can replenish energy at any time and have comprehensive nutrition, and the reason why the soldiers follow him to kill the enemy desperately is all because of his personality cult. The cult of personality has a limited effect, and the long-term fatigue of fighting has made the soldiers faintly resentful. It's just that Zhang Xutuo and the soldiers ate and lived together, and the charge was also at the front, so the soldiers barely supported it. But people are iron and rice are steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panic. The pace of the advance of the hungry soldiers slowed down significantly.

Seeing a dense forest in front of him, suddenly shouts of killing rang out, and countless ambushes poured in from all directions, and torches illuminated the surroundings as bright as day. For a time, the flying arrows were like locusts, and most of the Sui army, which was caught off guard, was killed and wounded in a blink of an eye. Zhang Xutuo's subordinates were already on the verge of collapse, and this ambush finally became the last straw that overwhelmed them. Many soldiers gave up resistance and surrendered.

Qin Shubao knew that the general trend was gone, rushed to Zhang Xutuo, and said loudly: "General, go quickly!" The last general fought to the death to fight a bloody way for the general! ”

At this time, the Wagang army on all sides was getting closer and closer, but they were already surrounded in the heart. Zhang Xutuo looked around, and there were only more than 30 horsemen left around him, including two love generals, Qin Shubao and Luo Shixin.

Zhang Xutuo couldn't help but look up to the sky and sighed: "Zhang has the trust of the saint, and he has no shame to see the first emperor Yu Jiuquan again!" After Zhang's death, you will ruin Zhang's face! ”

Qin Shubao was shocked: "Stay in the green mountains, why worry about no firewood!" Qin and General Luo have one gun each, and they will definitely protect the general to fight their way out of the encirclement! ”

Zhang Xutuo smiled miserably and said: "The Great Sui Qi is about to run out, and Zhang has been fighting for several years, and he is also tired. You wait, let Zhang go with peace of mind! ”

Luo Shixin held the spear in his hand and said nothing. The surrounding Wagang army was already getting closer and closer, and countless arrows were shining with a little cold light.

Zhang Xutuo suddenly shouted, blood spurted out from his mouth and nose, and he fell on his back, and he actually died of his heart.

"General!" Qin Shubao cried bitterly, turned over and fell to the ground!

At this time, a person in the Wagang army suddenly came out of the crowd and said loudly: "General Zhang is dead, General Qin and General Luo still ask for condolences." As the saying goes, those who know the times are the best. Even General Zhang already knew that the Sui room was exhausted, why didn't the two generals join the Ming Lord as soon as possible? ”

Luo Shixin suddenly abandoned the spear, turned over and dismounted, and said, "Luo Shixin is willing to surrender!" ”

Qin Shubao couldn't help but be angry and said: "Luo Shixin, the general's bones are not cold, you dare to ......"

The man in the Wagang army said with a straight face: "General Qin is loyal and righteous, and Li admires it." If General Qin is willing to submit to my Wagang, I Wagang is willing to bury General Zhang and bring filial piety for General Zhang for three days. ”

Luo Shixin also persuaded on the side: "Uncle Bao, come down!" ”

Qin Shubao let out a long sigh and finally fell to the ground.

Li Mi offered a plan to kill Zhang Xutuo in one fell swoop, captured Xingyang City, and killed Yang Qing, the Taishou of Xingyang, and Wagangzhai became famous for a while. When the news reached Luoyang, Li Yuan was shocked and hurriedly transferred the 50,000 troops deployed in Hongnong County to Bishui Pass, east of Luoyang. The plan to attack Tongguan in the west had to be suspended. This is Luoyang's geographical weakness in the land of four wars.

However, a few days later, there was another report of defeat in Jiangdu. Li Jiancheng's army of 50,000 was defeated by the Changshan army outside Jiangdu in one fell swoop, and only fled back with more than 40 horsemen, and even Li Jiancheng almost became a prisoner of the Changshan army. The Changshan Army tended to move northward, successively capturing Huainan, Ruyin, Runan, Huai'an, and Huaiyang counties, and the pressure on the south of Luoyang increased sharply.

Li Yuan hurriedly reduced his troops, and at the same time issued conscription orders to various places. At this moment, a team of envoys came to Luoyang from Chang'an.

Ten days after Liu Ziqiu occupied Chang'an, Empress Xiao arrived in Chang'an with Yang Qi and Yang Yu. Also arriving at the same time were Lin Qiaoer and Jin Xiaohu. A day later, Zhao Ling, Liu Yu, Jiang Yu and other civil and military officers also appeared in Chang'an City, and even Li Changshan and Li Changfeng, the two old men of the Li family in Longxi, arrived.

The Li family is a big family, and when Yang Jian ordered the construction of Chang'an City, they also bought a house in the city. When Yang Xuangan occupied Chang'an, he didn't dare to invade the property of these big families too much, and the Li family's house was still well preserved, but the house slaves didn't know where they had fled, and some fine softness was also swept away. However, the Li family has a big business, and these losses are not taken into account. The purpose of their visit to Chang'an was to fight for some interests for the Li family in the court, after all, in the course of Liu Ziqiu's expedition, the Li family also provided many conveniences. Giving is for reward, and now that Liu Ziqiu has captured Chang'an, it is time for them to ask for a return. It's just that Liu Ziqiu is busy with official business, and he hasn't had time to meet them for a while.

These days, Liu Ziqiu did not go deep into the palace except for occasionally climbing the tower of Xuanwu Gate. However, Yang Lanyue often ran to Miyagi. She has now become the master of the palace, naturally no one dares to embarrass her anymore, and she has changed into gorgeous clothes again, but after this ordeal, the little girl has matured a lot, and she often holds a ball that has been broken and leaking in her hand, but she did not pester Liu Ziqiu to make another one.

When Empress Xiao arrived in Chang'an, Liu Ziqiu took Yang Lanyue to stand on top of the palace. Seeing Yang Lanyue pitifully holding the broken leather ball, Liu Ziqiu felt a little pity and comforted: "Let's go, I'll take you to see your mother first." When your Aunt Lin arrives, I'll ask her to help you make a new ball. ”

"No, I'm going to ask for the old one." Yang Lanyue shook her head stubbornly, but still followed Liu Ziqiu down the city tower.

Empress Xiao's chariot has long lost the scenery when she traveled with Yang Guang, that is, an extremely ordinary carriage. The road was bumpy, and Queen Xiao was already tired and had a sore back, and her face was much haggard. Returning to Chang'an, looking at the Beijing master who had been absent for two years through the car curtain, Empress Xiao was full of emotion in her heart, and couldn't help but shed two lines of tears. Suddenly, I heard a ** voice outside the car saying: "Qi Niangniang, Princess Lanyue asks to see!" ”

In fact, Empress Xiao has no authority at all now, and she can't be the master of seeing anyone. However, it is much better in the hands of Liu Ziqiu than in the hands of Yu Wenhua, at least she still has some dignity, and the people around her are obsessed with the courtesy of a monarch and a minister.

"Wan'er! Where is Wan'er! Hearing that Princess Lanyue asked to see her, Queen Xiao, who had always been in a calm mood, suddenly became excited.
