The 20,000 army was divided into three armies, the front, the middle and the rear, marching mightily, and the commander Sima Dejiao was in the middle of the army.

"With 20,000 people chasing your 200 deserters, you will know that this matter is wrong with a little brain, but it is ridiculous that Dugu Valve and Yu Shiji and Pei Yi are two traitors, and they only want to bring down Yuwen Valve with an account book, and they don't know that the catastrophe is coming."

Long Tao stood on a hill, pointed to the Chinese army that was passing under the mountain, and smiled at Dou Xian: "Looking at the direction of their march, Sima Dejiao should be preparing to control the garrison outside the city first, and then return to the imperial city." ”

Dou Xian smiled wryly, and asked tremblingly: "Yan, Master Yan, do we really want to go down to see Sima Deji?" That, that's 20,000 Xiaoguo Army! Once you go, you will really be caught in the middle of thousands of troops! ”

"Don't worry, I'm not going to ask for Sima Deji's life, I'm just talking to him a few words, if he knows each other, he won't make a move." Long Tao looked at Dou Xian, shook his head and smiled: "Forget it, you just wait for me here, you don't have to risk going down with me." After speaking, he rushed down the mountain and ran towards Sima Deji's handsome banner.

When he was still fifty zhang away from the army halfway up the hill, Long Tao was discovered.

The procession stopped at the foot of the mountain, and a young general shouted, "Who is coming?" The Royal Forest Army is on business, and the idle people are waiting to stay away as soon as possible! ”

Long Tao did not stop at his feet, and said with a long smile: "Yan Kuan asks to see General Sima!" ”

When the general heard the name of the word, his face changed slightly, and he shouted: "Array! Shoot the arrows! Lawfully kill on sight! ”

Hundreds of arrows shot out from the bottom of the mountain, densely packed, and the dragon sped forward, and the arrows fell behind him.

"Drink!"

The front row let out a uniform cheer, and when Long Tao ran to a distance of ten zhang, more than a hundred spears were thrown at the same time, smashing at him head-on.

Long Tao swung the dragon slaying knife and slashed down the spear that had been shot in front of him, and his speed did not slow down.

The spearmen in the front row quickly retreated, and the two back rows of sword and shield men stepped up, forming a tight formation, ready to fight in close quarters.

Long Tao nodded secretly, worthy of the Great Sui Xiaoguo Army, not only well-trained, but also not chaotic when the formation changed, and the soldiers were expressionless, without fear or fear, as if they were a group of killing machines that had been tempered thousands of times.

He didn't intend to kill, he pointed to the ground on tiptoe, jumped up violently, and rushed straight to Sima Dejiao, who was sitting in the middle of the team and sitting on his horse.

The two generals flew up from Mashan and met Long Tao with a knife and an axe.

Long Tao swung out a knife, and the two of them broke their swords and axes, followed by a heel fight, and came to the top of Sima Dejiao.

Sima Dejiao is worthy of being the second only master of Wang Shichong among the generals of the Sui family, he is not surprised, and the spear in his hand stabs at Long Tao quickly, the tip of the spear trembles, and countless spear flowers are conjured, which is unpredictable and unstoppable.

Long Tao secretly shouted hello, and had the intention to use force to subdue him, put away the dragon slaying knife, and faced thousands of gun shadows with his bare hands, and grabbed the head of the gun accurately, and his true qi gushed out.

Sima Dejiao suddenly saw the huge dragon slaying knife disappear out of thin air, and was slightly startled, and when the head of the spear was caught by Long Tao, his face finally changed slightly, and his internal strength spit out, facing the true qi that Long Tao attacked along the body of the spear.

As soon as the internal strength of the two parties came into contact, Sima Dejiao knew that his skills were far below Long Tao, and he was shocked in his heart, but he moved very quickly and changed his moves quickly, and immediately pulled the spear back, and then let go of it, not fighting hard with Long Tao, he pulled him in front of him, and at the same time took out the long sword at his waist and slashed at Long Tao.

Long Tao seemed to know that he had this move, his left hand flicked his fingers, Sima Dejiao's long sword flew out of his hand, and his right hand took advantage of his pull, and he grabbed Sima Dejiao's shoulder, and spit out his internal strength.

Sima Dejiao's body was sore, his complexion changed greatly, and his heart turned into a storm: he would capture himself alive within two moves, and this true martial arts of Yan Kuan was afraid that it had reached the level of the three great grandmasters! It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that he is taking advantage of the sword in vain, but it seems that this is not the case at all.

Long Tao put his toes on the horse's back a little, grabbed Sima Dejiao and soared into the air, and fell back to the hillside.

The time between the two was actually very short, and in the eyes of many soldiers, it seemed that Long Tao rose up, turned around Sima Dejiao's head, and then grabbed him and flew back.

The commander was captured, and the soldiers didn't know what to do, and looked at the two young generals, waiting for them to give orders.

Long Tao said with a smile: "Don't be surprised, Yan is just looking for General Sima to say a few words, and he will definitely let him come back safely later." With that, he pulled him and hurried up the mountain.

"Dou Xian! How did you end up here? After Sima Dejiao saw Dou Xian at the top of the mountain, he asked in surprise.

"Isn't General Sima's mission this time to hunt down General Dou?" Long Tao smiled and asked, "Why is General Sima only surprised when he sees General Dou?" ”

Sima Dejiao glanced at Long Tao deeply, clenched his fists and asked, "What does Your Excellency want?" With Your Excellency's peerless martial arts, there is nothing to help you with, could it be that you caught me just to see this Dou Xian? ”

Long Tao smiled and suddenly asked, "What does General Sima think of Yu Wenhua and this person?" ”

Sima Dejiao was stunned for a moment, not understanding why he suddenly turned to Yu Wenhua and his body, and replied: "Lord Yuwen is a famous family, no matter his life and martial arts, he can be regarded as a first-class person. ”

"Could this man be a master worthy of your assistance?"

Sima Dejiao's face changed suddenly, he hung his head and was silent, his eyes wandered, obviously his heart was shocked, because listening to Long Tao's tone, he obviously knew everything about their plot.

"General Sima doesn't need to panic." Long Tao smiled and said: "You want to kill that faint king, this is a happy event celebrated by the whole world, and it is too late to be happy, so naturally it will not destroy your plan." ”

Although Long Tao is determined to win Sima Deji's Xiaoguo army, he will not carry out a major plan to subdue him here and now, he must let Yu Wenhua complete the great cause of killing the monarch, so as to continue to promote the plot.

If you want to subdue the Xiaoguo Army, it is not enough to subdue a Sima Dejiao, as well as the generals at all levels under his command, Long Tao already has a comprehensive plan in his heart for this matter.

Sima De looked up in amazement and asked, "Then what does Your Excellency mean?" ”

Long Tao smiled and said: "I just want to remind General Sima that Yu Wenhua is suspicious and indecisive, after you are done, you must beware of this person and pay attention to preserving your strength, because maybe we will cooperate in the future." ”

Sima Dejiao's eyes froze, and he said in a deep voice: "Could it be that Your Excellency also has the intention of competing for the world?" ”

Long Tao smiled lightly: "Fang is up and down today, why can't Yan also get a piece of the pie?" Hehe, General Sima, today's words are all here, what you are planning is already on the bow and has to be sent, please continue to lead the army forward, Yan wishes you success and a faint hand! As for General Dou, he has joined my Bamboo Flower Gang, and General Sima looks at Yan on a certain face, as if he has never seen him? ”

Sima Dejiao glanced at Dou Xian, nodded and said, "Two of you, please!" ”

Long Tao laughed, took Dou Xian, and went down the mountain from the other side.

That night, the fire in the imperial city burned half of the sky, and the news of Yang Guang's killing came out, and the city of Jiangdu was suddenly in chaos.

Some people are afraid to find a place to hide, while others set off firecrackers to celebrate.

There were rebels who took the opportunity to rape and plunder everywhere, and there were also young and strong mobs who formed groups and roamed the streets, killing Sui soldiers when they saw them.

More people formed a huge crowd to storm the city gate and flee Jiangdu.

The world is turned upside down, there is no order, and Yu culture cannot be controlled at all.

Long Tao was naturally not interested in seeing how he cleaned up the mess, as soon as Yang Guang died, he immediately went north and joined Yun Yuzhen and others at a stronghold of the Giant Kun Gang in Hongze Lake.

"The faint king is dead!"

When the people heard the news he had brought, they cheered up.

Long Tao continued to ask, "How are we prepared?" ”

Yun Yu Zhenxi said: "Chen Gong has transformed twenty flywheel warships, I have tried it with Uncle Zhi, the flexibility and maneuverability of the ship is indeed unprecedented, and it will definitely be an invincible warship across the rivers and seas in the future!" ”

Bu Tianzhi asked in a deep voice: "The faint monarch is dead, how is Yan Ye going to start an incident?" ”

Long Tao said lightly: "I have a careful plan, and I will bring Sima Dejia's 20,000 Xiaoguo army over as our capital for the incident." ”

Bu Tianzhi said movingly: "Yan Ye really has unpredictable opportunities! I thought that we would occupy the mountain and establish a village first, and then rely on the strength of our Giant Kun Gang and the name of Yan Ye's divine sword to gradually expand our power, but I never thought that Yan Ye would make such a big move! ”

Yun Yu really looked at Long Tao with bright eyes, with a look of admiration.

Long Tao continued: "In order to take over this army of 20,000 people, we need enough ships to carry soldiers and food and grass. ”

Bu Tianzhi frowned and said, "The largest ship in our hands can carry four hundred troops, but there are more than a dozen such large ships, which is obviously not enough to carry twenty thousand people. ”

Long Tao took out the thousand taels of gold that he had recently won back by the Shuangxiu Gongzi, and said happily: "If it is only used to cross the river and transport grain and grass, it is enough!" Our top priority at the moment is to purchase grain and grass, and second, to send people to closely follow and monitor the movements of Yu Culture and the army, and I want to keep track of their whereabouts anytime and anywhere! ”

Yun Yuzhen smiled coquettishly and said sweetly: "Brother Kuan, don't worry, Yuzhen will do these two things for you!" Knowing that you will recruit troops and horses, last time you had 2,000 taels of gold, we had already taken out a part of it and put a lot of grain and grass, plus this 1,000 taels, it was enough to prepare half a year's grain and grass for 20,000 people. ”

Long Tao thought, half a year is enough.

Because he not only had to take down the 20,000 Xiaoguo army, but also snatched the 2,000 cars of treasures from Yu Wenhua as his future military salary.
