Soldiers on a dangerous road.

November 11, early morning.

In the bad weather after the snow, Li Yuan unexpectedly marched more than ten miles from Pingyin to Xingyang Water Gate before dawn. Subsequently, Li Yuan's fleet, with the acquiescence of the general who defended the city, entered Xingyang City from the waterway, and its process was fast and capable, leaving the Liu soldiers who could not react in a daze.

This time, Li Yuan was caught off guard by Liu Bang. Some time ago, Li Yuan's training in Pingyin confused Liu Bang and his advisers, only with more than 300 soldiers, and after arriving in Pingyin, they scattered into the mountains and forests and never appeared again, so that Liu Bang, Li Shiqi, Cao Shen and others judged that Li Yuan was just going to Pingyin to train soldiers, at most it was to harass Liu Jun's rear. Unexpectedly, Li Yuan dared to enter Xingyang City at the risk of being besieged and annihilated.

Night, ugly time.

Under the response of Guan Yue, Hou Xi and others, Li Yuan joined up with the anti-Zhao Liliang who had secretly gathered in the city, and the combined strength reached more than 1,700 people. Among them, Li Yuan's more than 360 personal soldiers are undoubtedly the main force, and the other troops, Ying Yushu gathered more than 200 guests and protégés of the Li family dormant in the city, these people dispersed automatically after Li Si was imprisoned and Li You died in battle, it seems that they have abandoned the Li family, but in fact they are an elite soldier hidden by the Li family. Their overall combat capability may not be strong, but in terms of individual combat, they are all good hands.

In addition, some of the officials under Fan Jia and Guan Yue are barely usable, but it is not excluded that there are Zhao Ben among these people, and if they take on important tasks, accidents are likely to happen.

After patient lobbying, Hou Xi, Hu Zhuang, and He Ping gathered a group of about 100 young people among the people of Junyi, and although this team seemed a little insignificant, it was the most reliable Liliang of Li Yuan in the city.

Yin time

After the initial integration, Li Yuanqin led 300 elite soldiers to the county governor's mansion to carry out the beheading operation, and the other group of people led by Gu Yun went to the Peony Tower to arrest Wang Ming, another main arrest target, and the situation in Xingyang changed.

――。

The Governor's Mansion.

There are more than 1,500 people stationed under the main force under Zhao Ben, this army is well-equipped and fully armed, which is the key to Zhao Ben's control of Xingyang City.

The style of the old Zhao family has always been a dead friend, not a poor one. Zhao Gao is like this, and so is Zhao Ben. It's a pity that when Zhao Ben thought that everyone else was cannon fodder, he didn't think that cannon fodder was also a time to resist.

These days, Zhao Ben's sleep has not been good, during the day, he has to face Liu Bang's army outside the city, and he has to deal with the county government that is almost paralyzed and unable to work, so that his whole person's spirit is extremely poor, even if the house tries to adjust the diet, it will not be able to relieve Zhao Ben.

On this day, Zhao Ben had just returned from the study to the concubine's bedroom and lay down, when he heard someone outside calling incessantly, and the voice was an old official from the county governor's mansion.

"Old Wei, didn't you see that Lord County Lieutenant just fell asleep?" Zhao Ben's concubine had a face full of spring, opened the door with a reluctant face, and muttered outside. She couldn't help but be unhappy, just now, she used her slender jade hand to make the thing that Zhao Ben stepped on hard, and was about to lead the gun into the port, but she was disturbed and vented.

"Oh, Lord Lieutenant, something is wrong, there will be a big change in the city." The old thief Wei Zhutou held on to the doorpost, stumbled, and cried out with panic on his face.

Lao Wei is greedy for money, and he is an agent arranged by Zhao Ben to order Fan Jia in Xingyang County, there is such an eyeliner, Zhao Ben takes care of Xingyang's one-acre and three-point land very strongly, this time, Fan Jia just made a move, and Lao Wei hurriedly ran over to report the news.

"What is the big change, is it that the thief Liu outside has entered the city?" Zhao Ben got up in his clothes and asked with a somewhat impatient expression, Fan Jia has no army under his hands, and he can't make a name for himself if he wants to make trouble.

Lao Wei is a person who is greedy for money, and he often panicked about some untrue information a few days ago, gambled after receiving the money, and then told Zhao Ben when he finished spent, if it wasn't for Zhao Ben who really couldn't find the right person, this old Wei was afraid that he would have kicked him away.

"No, no. Yes, yes! Lao Wei took the reward several times, and when he saw Zhao Ben, he was a little weak-hearted, his words stammered, and his eyes couldn't help staring at the half-naked beautiful girl behind Zhao Ben, and he didn't talk for a long time.

"What the hell is going on? Say it. Zhao Ben stared at Lao Wei with disdain, grabbed his neck and asked loudly. Whoever finally fell asleep, and was about to be disturbed when he was about to hug his concubine and have a high taste, where is this mood.

"There are people in the city who rebel, it's Fan County's order." Lao Wei was stuck in his throat by Zhao Ben, and he almost couldn't breathe, and finally held back such a life-saving sentence.

"What, Fan Jia rebelled, does he want to die?" Zhao Ben sneered, how capable Fan Jia is, others don't know, he Zhao Ben is clear, Fan Jia is just a literati and a writer, and it is okay to make some small moves, if he leads troops to fight, ten Fan Jia is not his opponent Zhao Ben.

"There are other people, Guan Gongcao, Chen Zongzheng, and the people who guard the mansion of Li County, and many soldiers who came out of nowhere-!" Old Wei shouted anxiously.

Zhao Ben was stunned: "The people of Li Youfu, as well as foreign soldiers, you are telling the truth!" ”

Lao Wei nodded and said: "The subordinates don't dare to panic, it was said by a cronie of Fan County's order." ”

"In this case, come here, order people with me, and copy the county order mansion and Li Youfu-." Zhao Ben's expression perked up, after waiting for so many days, he finally had such a dignified excuse to take Li Youfu, this is good news, as long as you can find something in the Li Mansion, or it doesn't matter if you can't find it, as long as there are witnesses and physical evidence, when the time comes, Prime Minister Xianyang's confession can be completed.

――。

Xingyang Long Street.

Two teams with almost the same purpose met unexpectedly, leading the Zhao army was Zhao Xin, the military marquis of the county governor's mansion, Zhao Ben's brother, but Zhao Xin, who was in the posture of a man, was promoted for only a little more than a month, and his military position was only a chief in charge of baggage.

Compared with the field troops, the commander of the baggage battalion has more oil and water, and the combat capability is the opposite.

This time, Zhao Xin faced an elite army like a wolf and a tiger.

Li Yuan took the lead in rushing in front, with a bronze long sword in hand, and several brave armorers under Zhao Xin had just opened the frame, and were scattered by Li Yuan's army.

Like a boat breaking the waves.

It only took Li Yuan a moment to kill Zhao Xin, who was stunned and frightened.
