The infantry under the city saw that the city gate was still closed, and Liu Wuzhou's soldiers were strong and strong, they couldn't resist, so they simply put down their weapons and surrendered to Liu Wuzhou.

Liu Zhenghui saw it, and his heart was full of compassion, and Jinyang was in danger.

"Everyone listened to the order and swore to defend Jinyang City."

However, as soon as Liu Zhenghui's order was issued, there was a burst of shouts of killing in the city.

He looked out and saw that Liu Wuzhou's people had come from the west.

Liu Dewei also saw it, and he was shocked: "Who opened the West City Gate?" ”

A small soldier hurriedly ran over: "Oh no, Xue Shen and other gentry led people to tie up the soldiers guarding the gate, opened the west city gate, and the rebels entered the city." ”

"Rush!"

There was an earth-shattering shout outside the city, Liu Zhenghui and Liu Dewei hurriedly looked down, and the main army led by Liu Wuzhou had also rushed to the city gate and was attacking the north city gate.

"Come down with me and kill the enemy." Liu Zhenghui held a spear in his hand and rushed down from the city.

Others followed.

However, the city of Jinyang was full of old and infirm people, and they could not resist Liu Wuzhou's army at all.

Soon, Jinyang fell, and Liu Zhenghui, Liu Dewei and others were all captured.

Soon after, Wang Xingben, the old general of the Sui Dynasty, raised the banner of righteousness according to Pusaka and attached himself to Liu Wuzhou.

At this point, most of the prefectures and counties in the north were under the control of Liu Wuzhou, and the Tang army was left with only a corner of the southwest of Jin Province west of the Yellow River.

------------

Liu Wuzhou in the north is constantly attacking the city, and Dou Jiande in Hebei is not idle.

After Li Shentong led the army to flee to Liyang, Dou Jiande personally led the army to pursue Liyang and launched a fierce attack.

"General, what should I do? We can't resist it. ”

Zhang Liang retreated from the battlefield, came to the city wall, and asked Li Shiyun for help.

Li Shixian's expression was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Let the brothers hold on a little longer, I have asked people to go to Henan and Shandong to transfer troops, and they will arrive soon." ”

His Majesty asked him to take charge of the armies of Henan and Shandong, and when he learned that Dou Jiande was chasing Li Shen in the direction of Liyang, he had already ordered people to mobilize the armies of Henan and Shandong.

Just hold out for a few more days and reinforcements will arrive.

Unexpectedly, the next day, the person sent to transfer troops returned.

"General, the reinforcements of Guo Xiaoke, the assassin of Songzhou, were ambushed by Wang Shichong and couldn't get out of ......"

"General, Shandong's reinforcements were intercepted by Liu Heimin......"

The armies of Henan and Shandong were all intercepted, and Li Shixian's face changed greatly.

Li Shentong was also on the city wall, and when he heard the words of the little soldier, he was frightened in his heart, and said to Li Shiyun: "The reinforcements from Chang'an have not arrived so soon, you should find a way." ”

At this moment, the soldiers under Zhang Liang's hands came in a panic: "General, it's not good, we can't resist it." ”

Before the words fell, a loud noise came from below, and the Xia army broke through the city gate.

Li Shiyun picked up his weapon and rushed down: "Swear to defend Liyang to the death." ”

Li Shentong was flustered and didn't dare to go down, so he only ordered his guards: "Come near and protect me." ”

"Kill......"

The sound of fighting moved from outside the city to the city, and the soldiers and civilians of Liyang were still resisting stubbornly, especially Li Shiyun rushing to the forefront, dancing with weapons in his hands.

It didn't take long for a lot of Xia soldiers to pile up on the ground around him.

Zhang Liang was near him, and the weapons in his hands kept dancing, killing people until they were numb.

Gradually, the movements of the Tang soldiers became more and more sluggish, until finally they could not swing their weapons and were killed by the enemy.

Li Shiyun also gradually felt struggling, so he ordered in a loud voice: "Withdraw." ”

When the words fell, he exerted his strength violently, killed the surrounding Xia Jun in one go, turned over his horse, and ran towards another city gate.

Zhang Liang immediately followed, and many cavalrymen also took the opportunity to kill them.

At this point, Liyang fell, and Li Shichang and Zhang Liang escaped from Liyang with hundreds of cavalry.

Dou Jiande ordered the battlefield to be counted and the Tang officials in the city were arrested.

"Lord, I caught Li Shentong, the king of Huai'an in the Tang Dynasty, and Princess Tong'an...... There is also the father of Li Shiyun, the head of Liyang, Li Gai. Cao Zhan said happily to Dou Jiande.

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Dou Jiande's face, and he finally took Liyang back from the Tang army.

......

Li Shixian, Zhang Liang and others fled all the way out of the city, until a river appeared in front of them, and Li Shiyun suddenly stopped his horse.

"Phew~"

Zhang Liang followed the horse and stopped it, jumped off the horse, and said to Li Shiyun: "General, let's cross the river quickly, otherwise they will catch up." ”

The cavalry dismounted and prepared to cross the river.

But Li Shiyun didn't move, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly said: "My father is still in Liyang, and I am ready to go back." ”

The movements in everyone's hands were shocked.

At this time, when you return to Liyang, it is surrender......

"That's my father, and I can't abandon him." Li Shiyun's face showed sadness.

After a pause, he said again: "However, you don't have any relatives in Liyang, you can go and go to Songzhou to find Guo Tingshi." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Liang turned over and said with a firm gaze: "Since Wagangzhai, I have been following the general, and wherever the general goes, I will go." ”

Li Shiyun was moved in his heart, but persuaded him: "You don't have to do this......

"No, I'm going to follow you." Zhang Liang's attitude was very resolute.

When the others saw this, they followed: "I will follow the general, and wherever the general goes, I will go." ”

Li Shiyun's eyes were red with emotion: "Thank you brothers for your trust......"

So, Li Shiyun led them back to Liyang.

Seeing Li Shiyun coming, Dou Jiande was very happy, and immediately ordered Li Shichang to be released, and said to him: "I have long heard that you are chivalrous and courageous, graceful and strategic.

"Now that you are under my command, I will not treat you badly, from today on, you are still the governor of Liyang, guarding Liyang."

Li Shiyun lowered his head, hid the emotion in his eyes, and respectfully thanked him: "Thank you, Lord, the minister will definitely not live up to your trust." ”

"The Lord can't ......" Liu Ya opened her mouth to persuade, but was swallowed into her stomach by Dou Jiande's eyes.

Dou Jiande glanced at everyone and said majestically: "This matter is so decided, there is no need to discuss it again." ”

In front of Li Shixian, everyone didn't say anything, but after Li Shiyun left, everyone seemed to explode and spoke one after another.

"Lord, Li Shiyun is a general of the Tang Dynasty, and such an important city as Liyang cannot be handed over to him."

"Yes, Lord, even if you want to show your leniency, you can arrange other official positions for Li Shixian, and you don't have to arrange the official position of Liyang Governor."

"Lord, you let Li Shichang rule Liyang, Liyang will definitely fall into the hands of Li Yuan again, please think twice."

"Please think twice about ...... Lord"

The ministers knelt on the ground to persuade him, hoping that Dou Jiande would change his mind.

However, Dou Jiande was unmoved, he said: "Li Shiyun is a talent, such a person is the most offensive and cannot be forced by force."

"If I do this, he will be moved in his heart and will serve me wholeheartedly in the future.

"I have made up my mind on this matter, and you don't need to say it again."

Seeing Dou Jiande's resolute attitude, Yu Shinan thought about it and said, "If the Lord insists on letting Li Shiyun take charge of Liyang, we have no opinion.

"However, Liyangcang is in our own hands.

"Also, Li Shiyun's father can't stay in Liyang, we have to take it away."

When Cao Zhan and the others heard this, their eyes lit up, if this was the case, they would have no opinion.

"Yu Shilang is right, if the Lord insists on this, Li Gai must remain in our hands as a hostage.

"Also, Princess Tong'an and King Huai'an can't stay......"
