Suizhou City, this is taller and more majestic than any city in the dynasty, the mottled city wall can clearly see the traces of the remaining staggered swords and arrows, from a distance, the whole wall seems to be bright and dark, it looks strange and impermanent, only when the afterglow of the sunset shines down, you can find that the original dark city wall seems to be faintly red, even the sunset in the sky will become a red, it seems to tell the world, everything that happens here.

Whether it is the people in the city, the merchants, or the knights passing through here, whenever they pass by the city gate, they will stop and watch, close their eyes far or near to feel it, as if they can feel the tragedy of the war that year.

It is hard to imagine that this ancient city, which looks like it has experienced thousands of years of wind and rain and a hundred years of war, has only been able to withstand 30 years since its establishment.

In the eleventh year of the Warring States Period, when the news that the Yan State swept the world and flattened the southern countries came back to the north, the Northern Qi, which was originally uniting Liaodong and Beiting to fight inextricably, decisively collected the troops, and will pour half of the country's strength to quickly build Suizhou City in two years to block the Yan State that has become unstoppable。

At that time, Zhao Jing's younger brother Zhao Ying, in the case of absolute military superiority, was stunned to beat the advantage into persistence, nearly two years of siege warfare, but he didn't even touch the city gate, originally wanted to let his younger brother take the Northern Qi, Zhao Jing, who was ranked in the north, had no choice but to urgently summon Li Ting, who was only a hundred miles away from the imperial city of Xishu at that time, to fight in Suizhou City, and Li Ting just waved his hand, and gave up this sky-beating battle to Zhao Ying, carrying the banner of the Li family that had already been declared to Suizhou.

Just when the whole world thought that this sweeping Li family iron cavalry would stare at the siege, but it was only set up camp hundreds of miles away, without the slightest movement, and Wang Zidao, who was originally as stable as Mount Tai in the city, faced the Li family horsemen who had always only cared about the forward and ignored the back, but now his abnormal behavior made Wang Zidao, who was originally as stable as Mount Tai in the city, feel more and more uneasy.

It wasn't until the last news from the east that Wang Zidao understood where his uneasiness came from, it was not the Li family's iron cavalry, nor Li Ting, but Chen Shi, this rumor had never even taken half a step out of the camp, and the Li family's strategists were extremely ruthless.

The spirit cat Yuan Xiaobiao, who led less than 10,000 Li family rangers, made a detour to the southeast line of Liao, and broke through the blockade of the Northern Qi Dynasty, like a civet running into the mountains, colliding everywhere on the traffic arteries between Suizhou City and the cities of Northern Qi, and wandering on the supply lines of Suizhou City.

And Beiting, who was supposed to wait for the opportunity, also suddenly went south at this time, and tacitly cooperated with the Li family to encircle the north and south, and directly grasped the lifeline of the Northern Qi, so that the Northern Qi could not distinguish any reinforcements to help Suizhou, there was no grain and grass, no water source, Chen Shi not only cut off the soldiers' food, but also directly cut off the livelihood of the people in the city.

After struggling to support himself for nearly a year after a lack of water and food, this famous general of the Northern Qi Dynasty, who was the first person in the world, could only choose to open the city gate in a desperate attempt to start a decisive battle. Until they rushed into the city gate, this famous Li family iron horsemen who broke the country and slaughtered countless cities all lost their spirits. Originally, it was sent back to the capital, which should have been a long round of good news, with only a few numbers.

Outside the city, the corpses of the soldiers are everywhere, and the people in the city are eaten by their children, like a dead city.

Therefore, at the beginning of the establishment of the Great Yan Dynasty, the Nanshan Dao method was introduced in the city, the Fu Demon Mansion was set up, and temples were built outside the city to deter the homeless souls.

.....

The weather in early winter was a little foggy and gray.

"Little bad, let's come here, do you say that the prince in the city doesn't know, he is a little wrong with your family!" Murong Lin sat on the frame, holding the carriage, and asked Li Bad, who was sitting on the back of a white horse.

Li Bad yawned in every possible way, and said casually: "I should know, I guess there are a large number of knife and axe players waiting for Zhao Ying to smash the cup, and maybe they will rush out and hack me to death." ”

Murong Lin laughed: "Then you have to be careful, I heard that this King Huai not only raises the killers on the killer list, but even the people on the martial arts list are his guests, and you can't get any bargain with your two efforts." ”

Li Bad just wiped the little tears from the corners of his eyes, and said indifferently: "I'm scared to death, it's a big deal to let Li Zi reason with them, let's run first." ”

As he was talking, there was a sound of horses' hooves behind him, and several cavalrymen riding lightly armored fast horses rushed along the middle of the official road.

Murong Lin had no choice but to separate the front of the car, hurriedly flashed to the side, and squinted at these arrogant and domineering Huainan light riders.

The leading captain just glanced at Li Bad casually, and rushed straight towards the city gate, ignoring Li Huai and the others.

Seeing a few horses go away, Li Bad poked Murong Lin with his elbow and said, "Do you see what is famous?"

Murong Lin shook his head, pointed to the captain who was rushing in front of him and said, "This kid is Zhao Ying's eldest son Zhao Xiong's number one dogleg, his ability is not big or small, and his character is one of the best. ”

Li Bad followed Murong Lin's fingers, looked ahead and said, "What's the matter, are you paying attention to this kind of goods?" After speaking, he looked at Murong Lin with a mocking face, his eyes were ambiguous.

Murong Lin glared at Li Bad angrily, and said: "Zhao Xiong has been inquiring about your itinerary since you came out of the north, and this kid suddenly came out of Suizhou a few days ago, mobilized a battalion of cavalry, and I don't know where to go, and now I will enter the city in your footsteps, you have to be careful, the old Zhao family is familiar with this kind of thing, and if you catch the road thieves and robbers casually, you can say that you are killed by a strong man, although you can't frighten the martial prince, but you can block the mouth of the heavenly immortals." ”

Li Bad smiled softly when he heard this, and said, "Let me ask you, Xiao Linzi, what do you think of the behavior of this small group of cavalry just now?"

Murong Lin just said casually: "Since I went out of Beizhou and fled to the south, I have seen the Huainan cavalry, the Liaodong border army, or the Shu army in Shu, maybe their combat strength is not bad, but compared to our Li family iron cavalry, it is more than a little worse." ”

Li Bad smiled and asked, "What's the difference?"

"One is proud, the other is proud. ”
