Chapter 531: Xingyang
"Let's go!"
After Gu Sheng got the information he needed, he made Yuwen invincible with a knife, and then shook off the blood beads on the knife, turned around after putting the knife back into the sheath, patted Xu Ziling, who was still in place, and walked towards the horse.
Xu Ziling followed his footsteps in a daze, the whole Rao was in a state of confusion, looking uncertain, and it seemed that he had not yet fully accepted the incident just now.
"Think I'm too cruel!"
Gu Sheng tied the two pieces of luggage to his horse, and Xu Ziling's horse was kicked by Yuwen Invincible, and he was out of breath by now.
Xu Ziling didn't answer, maybe silence is the best answer, he didn't resent Gu Sheng for killing Yuwen Invincible, after all, Yuwen Invincible killed his mount, in his eyes, this enemy was not as good as his horse, so what if he killed him.
But what he couldn't accept was Gu Sheng's methods for Yuwen Invincible, such torture and questioning, looking at Yuwen Invincible's hideous and painful face, he felt fear. Gu Sheng like this is really strange in his eyes.
"Ling, this is a troubled era, if you want to get ahead in the troubled times, you have to do this!"
Gu Sheng said a little helplessly: "Yuwen Valve and we are already like fire and water, either they are finished, or we are killed." Once they track it down all the way, they can't even escape from Sister Wu and Su Su.
We can die, but what about them! Yuwen will easily let them go, and you haven't seen what the Sui soldiers and dog thieves did to women. ”
Xu Ziling couldn't help but have a picture in his mind, along the way, they had seen a lot of fleeing Sui soldiers, soldiers and bandits in troubled times, these guys who were no longer humane, burned, killed, plundered and did countless evil things all the way.
This court is no longer saved, from top to bottom, from son to officers and soldiers, they are constantly digging out the foundation of the court, under this environment, there are too few officers and soldiers of the Sui court who can stick to their kindness. At least, most of what they encountered along the way was wandering among beasts.
"I see!"
Xu Ziling finally accepted Gu Sheng's method, and his face looked a little better.
Gu Sheng saw that Xu Ziling's face was still a little pale, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't think about it, I know that you are not so able to accept this kind of thing, this kind of truth, leave it to me in the future!"
"Don't worry about me, I can do it!"
Xu Ziling barely squeezed out a smile, and also reached out to pat Gu Sheng's shoulder, but he didn't know if he was really okay, or if he was still forcing himself, but no matter which one it was, at least, Xu Ziling had grown a lot after this incident.
......
The fall of Xingyang is actually one of the turning points related to the rise and fall of the Great Sui, and it is also the starting point of Li Mi's struggle for hegemony.
Li Mi joined Wagangzhai in the twelfth year of the Great Cause, and was welcomed by the big dragon leader Zhai Rang as the second leader under him, taking advantage of the momentum of the Wagang Army and Zhai Rang, and relying on his immortal martial arts, he subdued the nearby rebel army and different forces, and strengthened the strength of the Wagang Army by multiple.
At the same time, it is clear that the Achilles heel of the Wagang Army's development has always been the Achilles' heel of the Wagang Army, which is not enough to supply the needs.
In October, the Wagang army attacked on a large scale, first capturing the outer counties of Xingyang, and directly chasing Xingyang City.
Yang Guang attached great importance to this, and sent Zhang Xutuo, the number one general at that time, to arrest the ambassador of the twelve counties of Henan Province to defend Xingyang, and led 20,000 elite soldiers to meet the battle.
Zhang Xutuo is famous for his 'wind' marksmanship in both the court and the martial arts, known as the first gunner of contemporary times.
This battle is Li Mi's battle of fame under the overlord, he overrode public opinion, set a strategy, ask Zhai Rang to lead the main force to confront it head-on, and he and the four powerful men, Wang Bodang, Zu Junyan, Shen Luoyan, Xu Shiji led more than 1,000 good hands, ambushed in the dense forest north of the Great Sea Temple.
The result of this battle was naturally a defeat for the Sui soldiers, and Li Mi personally shot and killed Zhang Xutuo. This battle made Li Mi famous, and he became the most prestigious figure in the Wagang Army, faintly above the big dragon leader Zhai Rang.
This great victory established the foundation of the Wagang Army and severely damaged the prestige of the Sui Army. But I don't know why, the Wagang army actually died down when it should have taken advantage of the victory to pursue, and even the Pushan Gongying and Zhai Rang's Dalongtou Mansion once reached the point of meeting each other.
This change was something that no one expected, and everyone knew very well that Li Mi and Zhai Rang would divide one by one sooner or later, but no one expected that the contradiction would intensify so quickly, and even affect Wagang's strategy of taking advantage of the victory.
However, both of them are also contemporary heroes, and when external pressure still exists and neither is sure of the final word, both can only take a step back.
In this situation, Zhai Rang had no choice but to let Li Mi lead an army by himself, known as the Pushan Public Camp. And Li Mi also chose to stop and give most of the results of the war to Zhai Rang's henchmen to take over, giving up most of the fruits.
Li Mi was born in a noble family and was enshrined for generations, so he inherited the title of Duke of Pushan, so he established the Pushan Gongye in this name. This person is extremely ambitious, not only to get Xingyang, but also to seek to seize Xingluocang.
Xingluocang was the largest granary in the Sui Dynasty, so Yang Guang attached great importance to it and sent Hu Benlang to march Liu Wengong with 25,000 cavalry from the eastern capital Luoyang in an attempt to recover the decline.
He also made Pei Renji attack the flank of the Wagang army from the tiger prison, hoping to use these two armies to contain Li Mi. At the same time, Yang Guang sent his powerful subordinate Wang Shichong to Luokou to confront Li Mizuo.
When Gu Sheng and the two came to Xingyang, the armies of the two sides were in a stalemate, and the situation was about to break out.
When Gu Sheng and the others came to Xingyang, the city defense pass was extremely strict, and looking at the pass from afar, one by one Wagang troops wearing cyan military uniforms were interrogating the flow of people.
Gu Sheng heard the Wagang army calling from afar, "Anyone who enters and leaves the city must have a pass issued by the ancestral army division." ”
"Zhong Shao, it seems that this still needs some kind of pass or something, what should I do!"
Xu Ziling bumped Gu Sheng's elbow, the expression on his face was tangled, this is not Yangzhou, and they are not some kind of local snakes, they have really never encountered such a situation.
"It's fine!"
Gu Sheng glanced at it a few times, and suddenly his eyes lit up, staring at a convoy and glancing at it a few times, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Is the dog hooked up now!
"Zhong Shao!"
Xu Ziling saw that Gu Sheng didn't react for a long time, reached out and shook it in front of his eyes, Gu Sheng pushed him angrily, "It's okay!"
Xu Ziling withdrew his hand, and saw Gu Sheng hooking his fingers at him, as if he meant to let him lean over, and he didn't suspect him, so he leaned his ear over.
"So, so, we can ...... like this"
Gu Sheng lowered his voice and whispered in Xu Ziling's ear, gesturing while he was gesturing, Xu Ziling's eyes gradually lit up, and the two of them finally smiled at each other, squeezing their eyebrows.
