Zhang Xutuo looked at Li Jing, who had always been unapproachable, and his eyes were almost about to erupt with fire, and he angrily reined in Ma Yao and shouted: "Li Jing, if you have the ability, you can share the victory and defeat with the old man in a dignified manner." What kind of hero is it to bewitch people with witchcraft?"

Li Jing shook his head and said with a smile: "Zhang Shuai has been fighting horses for half his life, how can he say such things? With you and me, there is no need to say the words of these radical generals?"

The anger on Zhang Xutuo's face immediately subsided, and he said coldly: "Li Jing, since you trapped the old man, I don't think there will be a lack of means to take the old man's life. Just do it, don't say anything to persuade the old man to surrender!"

Li Jing sighed: "Why is Zhang Shuai so stubborn, you need to know that Yang Guang ......"

Zhang Xutuo interrupted him sharply, and said angrily, "Your Majesty has been responsible for the people of the world, but he has never been responsible for Zhang Xutuo. Today, the old man is just dead, you don't have to say it again, otherwise you will look down on the old man, and the old man will look down on you!"

Li Jing knew that this person's heart was as strong as a golden stone, so he no longer persuaded him, so he had to give up his hand immediately: "Although Li Jing does not agree with Zhang Shuai's foolish loyalty, he has to admire Zhang Shuai's temperament. I hope that in the next life, you and I will not have to meet on the battlefield, and Li Jing will bid farewell to Zhang Shuai. ”

Eight phases of change were hidden in the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array, and Li Jing's mind moved, and Zhang Xutuo's body suddenly turned into a sea of purple-red fire within ten zhang of his body.

Zhang Xutuo let out a long laugh in the flames, as if he didn't feel the pain at all, and in an instant, everyone had turned into ashes.

Li Jing sighed, raised his hand into the sky, there was a thunderclap on the ground, and the eight gate flags disappeared out of thin air, and a large number of unconscious people and horses fell around him, which were the hundred guards of Pei Yuanqing and Zhang Xutuo.

The more than ten pro-soldiers around Li Jing are still unknown. I felt like I had a big dream, and when I woke up, the enemy who rushed to me had fallen to the ground. It wasn't until Li Jing gave the order to "take these people" that they hurriedly stepped forward. They were tied one by one with ropes.

Seeing that Pei Renji, who was gradually suppressed and trapped by his own soldiers, was still trying his best to command the Sui soldiers to resist, Li Jing immediately raised his voice and shouted: "General Pei, Zhang Xutuo is dead, and Ling Lang has also been captured by this commander, why do you have to resist stubbornly and make these soldiers bleed needlessly!"

Pei Renji was shocked and raised his eyes to exchange. Sure enough, Zhang Xutuo could no longer be seen, and his son Pei Yuanqing was unconscious and tied with ropes. Looking at the soldiers around him who instantly fell to the bottom, he sighed with a sad look on his face. Throw your spear on the ground.

Zhang Xutuo's soldiers were defeated and died, Pei Renji's father and son surrendered, and Xingyang was like an undefended army for the Dingshi army, and it was easily captured that day.

After the breakdown. Li Jing is on the list of Anmin. On the one hand, he ordered his disciple Qin Qiong to be the main general, and Wei Chi Gong and Luo Shixin as the deputies, and led 5,000 elite soldiers to attack Luokoucang, which was not far from Xingyang.

Qin Qiong and other three generals led their troops to march at the same time, rushed to Luokoucang before the news of the fall of Xingyang arrived, and took advantage of the laxity of the Sui soldiers on the garrison to suddenly raid and attack Cangcheng in one fell swoop.

Li Jing's army then arrived, inspected 3,000 huge grain cellars, and counted the total amount of grain and rice stored in them exceeded 24 million quintals. Immediately ordered the opening of the warehouse to release grain to help the hungry people in all directions. Due to the tyranny of Yang Guang. The people of the Central Plains have been hungry for a long time, and after hearing the news, they all cheered and rushed to Luokoucang to receive grain and rice, and most of them threw themselves into the command of the Dingshi Army, which made the Dingshi Army swell sharply in a short period of time, and the total number of soldiers and civilians has reached hundreds of thousands.

However, at this time, it also took some time for the Dingshi Army to digest the rapidly expanding territory and population, so it temporarily reined in its troops and temporarily changed to a defensive posture.

When the news was transmitted back to the DPRK, the official in charge hurriedly reported the matter to Yang Guang, but after the recital was submitted, it sank into the sea like a stone and was never heard back. The performer was afraid of delaying the big event, and tried every possible way to find someone to inquire, only to learn that although Yang Guang had seen the recital, he didn't care about it and put it aside, just because all the energy in front of him was focused on another major event - digging the canal and touring Yangzhou in the south.

However, a few days later, the imperial court issued a decree to requisition millions of people and dig a canal to connect the north and south. As soon as this order was issued, countless wolf-like servants broke into the homes of the people to arrest Dingraff, and the dark and filthy things of taking sheep and extorting money during this period can be seen everywhere. When the captured servant arrived at the construction site, he was faced with never-ending heavy labor, and there was not one in ten who could survive the opening of the canal and return to his hometown.

In the process of digging the canal, a group of corrupt officials led by Ma Shumou, the governor of the opening of the river, took the opportunity to deliberately set up the river on the houses and ancestral graves of the wealthy along the way, taking the opportunity to extort a windfall, and those who disobeyed the slightest disobedience were charged with wanton killing.

When the canal was opened, Yang Guang ordered people to plant willows on both sides of the river, and then took a big dragon boat to go south along the river, accompanied by thousands of boats, full of harems, kings, princesses, officials and even monks, nuns and Taoists. On the way to the boat, Yang Guang ordered to recruit 180,000 slender men who pulled the boat, and even more ingeniously recruited thousands of folk beauties, all of whom were dressed in white and pulled their own big dragon boats with ribbons. It is difficult to describe all the extravagant and absurd acts.

This canal made Yang Guang, who was already angry and resentful, completely to the point that the people were pointing to. At this time, Li Jing had completed the integration of various resources in the territory, and personally drafted and issued the second letter of the crusade against Yang Guang, claiming that the only husband of the remnants of the people would not die for a day, and it would be rare for the world to be peaceful for a day, and called on the heroes of the world to raise volunteers and go to Yangzhou to crusade against the tyrant, vowing that only the Dingshi Army would send troops all the way, and the tyrant would never leave Yangzhou alive.

As soon as the text came out, the wind and clouds moved in unison. Regardless of whether they are sincere in doing the right thing for heaven and hanging the people, in short, the righteous armies from all walks of life in the world have responded, and they have all sent elite soldiers and strong generals to Yangzhou, attacking the city and pulling out the village along the way, and fighting with the soldiers and generals left behind in various parts of the Great Sui. All of a sudden, the swords and soldiers of the Great Sui were everywhere, and there was smoke everywhere.

On Wagang Mountain, Li Jing gathered the generals, checked 30,000 horses, and prepared to go south to Yangzhou. He first handed over an arrow to Wei Chigong, and said: "Jingde, this time as a teacher, I still order you to be the vanguard of the front." There is one thing you need to keep in mind, the city passes along this road have been heard clearly, and the other city passes are just fine, only Linyang Pass, Hongni Pass and Dongling Pass are quite tricky. The first of the three passes, Linyang Pass, is known as the 'Four Treasure Generals', not only with superb martial arts, but also with strange treasures. When you arrive at the pass, you can only set up camp, and when the army of the division arrives, you can send troops to see the battle. ”

Wei Chigong has always been in awe of the master, although he didn't think so, but he didn't dare to show contempt on his face, he still honestly stepped forward to take the arrow, bowed down and responded: "The disciple respectfully obeys the teachings of the master. Then he turned around and went out to take orders.

Qin Qiong looked at Wei Chigong's back, and said to Li Jing with some concern: "Master, respect for virtue and his temperament is as fierce as fire, I am afraid that the more you say that the master and apprentice are powerful, the more he will have to fight with him." ”

Li Jing said with a smile: "It's okay, if Jingde fights with the master and apprentice, although he will inevitably suffer some hardships, he will not have to worry about his life." This black guy has been quite arrogant lately, so it's good to take this opportunity to sharpen his temperament. (To be continued......)
