When Chaoyang was born, it brought golden light to the Dongdu City.

In late autumn, there is still a cold feeling in the early morning. The rising sun covered the ten-mile long street with golden hope. Xiao Buyi looked over from afar and felt moved.

After arriving in Dongdu, warmth always flowed from time to time in his somewhat indifferent blood.

It is true that war makes people cold-blooded and there is no mercy on the battlefield. Forgiveness of the enemy is actually cruel to his subordinates, so on the battlefield, Xiao Buyi always spares no effort to defeat and kill his opponent. Sometimes, when others are poked out with a long spear, they can see the other party's survival, fear and panic expression, but he is no longer soft-breaking. Those who block his team must be eliminated, and he has no choice!

But the war also touched him more. He saw too many unknown soldiers' sacrifices, saw more people's speechless thanks, and gained the trust and love of countless people in the Eastern Capital. They may not be able to do anything, but just a waiting can already give Xiao Buyi the motivation to continue fighting.

The soldiers of the people were spontaneous and conscious, which was incomparable to the scale of Yang Guang's entry into the city, but in terms of support, Yang Guang was far from as much as he did.

Yang Guang always sat in the shell and never contacted the so-called grass-roots people, but at this time Xiao Buyi had already dismounted and walked slowly over.

He suddenly realized that seeing King Yue is not in a hurry, and walking through the long street is already the most important thing in his life. Seeing Xiao Buyi dismounted, more people knelt down, and some old men were even crying. Because words could no longer express their gratitude, perhaps only tears in their hearts could express their gratitude.

Xiao Buyi reached out to support a white-haired old man and whispered: "Old man, thank you for your hard work."

The old man was so excited that he burst into tears and said tremblingly: "General Xiao is so serious, what is the hard work for us? In fact, the news of your victory came early. We don't know what to do. All we can do is wait. I hope to see General Xiao at a glance. We want to tell General Xiao. The people of Dongdu are grateful to General Xiao for everything he did for us.

He cried a little in a daze. Xiao Buyi held the old man, looked at the soldiers' gaze, and suddenly sang: "If you want to thank you, I should thank you. If you don't have your support, how could Xiao lead the army to fight? Without your support, returning to Luocang would not be able to save it. Only your selfless support can the soldiers sacrifice their lives. If you want to express gratitude, Xiao would like to thank you... Thank you for building the Great Wall that the soldiers rely on for Dongdu!"

His voice became louder and louder, stirring up in the outer city of Dongdu, and the people burst into tears again. At this time, someone suddenly said softly: "It's just to seek fame!"

Although the man said lightly, he seemed so out of place in this late autumn morning. Many people did not hear clearly. Xiao Buyi's ears were strong. He looked sideways and saw a man with a beard, his eyes were deep, and his expression was full of decadence. He stood there staggeringly, holding a wine gourd in his hand, looking at Xiao Buyi with some disdain.

The man talked to himself, but he didn't expect Xiao Buyi to look over. He was a little stunned and excited. When he saw Xiao Buyi looking away again, he felt a little disappointed.

Xiao Buyi ignored it, but said to the bat beside him: "Steer the person carrying the wine gourd and see where he lives."

The bat nodded and left Xiao Buyi, but Xiao Buyi walked straight along the long street. Along the way, the people gathered more and more. Some burned incense and prayed, and some knelt down to greet him. Xiao Buyi helped him up one by one and said a few words from time to time.

Seeing that the sun was approaching, Xiao Buyi had not walked up to a 2-yard house. The Huya Lang General Shu Zhanwei could not help but shout: "Famous people, General Xiao knows your love, but he still has official duties. I just want to talk about it later. I wonder what you think?"

As soon as Shu Zhanwei's words came out, everyone responded with a loud bang, and they all retreated aside. Xiao Buyi then turned over and rushed to the east city with everyone. Along the way, the people were still endless. Xiao Buyi waved his hand and had already arrived in front of the east city.

In the past, the city gates in Dongcheng were closed, but today is different. Dongcheng had already opened the city gates, with flags waving and colorful flags flying. King Yue and his ministers actually left Dongcheng to greet each other in person. When Xiao Buyi saw it, he dismounted from afar and walked forward quickly. His face was given by others, but he lost his face. King Yue was so kind of courtesy that he gave Xiao Buyi enough face, and of course Xiao Buyi would not have sacrificed King Yue's face.

The two of them bowed to each other and became very polite, so they walked into the East City together. The people were far-sighted and were talking. Some said that the person who could let the King of Yue go out to meet him in person, General Xiao was the first. Some said that General Xiao won every battle and defended the Dongdu with his own strength. The King of Yue was a little lighter. Some talked about the battle in Beim Mountain. I heard that General Xiao was defeated in the moment of crisis, but suddenly there was Huanglong and the Black Dragon appeared to protect the master and defeated the Wagang Army. General Xiao... Maybe he was the true emperor. Although he did not see the situation on the battlefield at that time in person, he said it vividly and seriously. This was originally a crime of beheading, but now the common people know that General Xiao is the largest in Dongdu. It seems that it will be a matter of time before he becomes the emperor. It should be okay to say this.

The speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional. The down-and-out person is mixed in the crowd, drinking wine and just shaking his head. But although he is uninhibited, he also knows that the person who said Xiao Buyi is not at this time is probably the one who was beaten to death by the people in the street!

The people were very angry, and the consequences were very serious. He was just depressed and unsuccessful, so he did not have to fight with them to kill them.

It sounded boring, and the down-and-out man wandered around the inn. The place where he lived was a wing room, which was very narrow and humid. The man sat down and wanted to drink again, but there was no drop of wine in the wine gourd, so he had to get up and drink. The man had already pushed the door and walked in.

This kind of behavior was quite rude, but the guy seemed to be commonplace.

When he saw the down-and-out man, the guy was too lazy to even smile and asked coldly. "Mr. Ma, the boss asked me to ask you, when can I pay for the money for staying in this hotel?"

The depressed and outgoing person showed a embarrassed look, "Please... give me a few more days."

The guy sighed and said, "Mr. Ma, it's been half a month. Our inn will pay the bill every three days. If you don't pay the bill, we will all go to drink the northwest wind."

The down-and-out man reached out and took it in his arms for a while. He couldn't take out one hand. The guy was used to the world and sneered: "Young Master Ma, you don't have to be so artificial every time..." He walked straight to the bed and picked up Mr. Ma's package. Mr. Ma asked in surprise: "My man, what are you doing?"

"Our boss said that we would give Mr. Ma another three days. If we can't take out the money for staying in the store, we will only deal with the luggage for Mr. Ma."

After the guy finished speaking, he turned around and left the room. Mr. Ma wanted to stop him, but he retracted his hand. The guy walked out arrogantly and was about to meet the boss. The boss asked in a low voice, "Have you got the thing?"

The guy compensated with a smile, "Take it, boss, he should have money."

"Of course, how can you drink without money?" The boss smiled and turned around like a treasure with the package.

After hearing this in the room of Mr. Ma, he sighed to the sky. "I didn't expect that Ma Zhou, a man who claimed to be talented, was so down and out!"

He was only worried about self-pity, but he didn't know that the shop owner was carrying the package and turning the room to someone.

The man looked like a bat, but he was wearing an official uniform. The shop owner was so respectful that he didn't dare to offend him. Because he knew that this man was General Xiao's subordinate!

The bat asked, “Can you unpack the package and take a look?”

The shop owner nodded repeatedly. "Of course, this poor man owed me half a month's house money. Don't even ask, it would be a problem to take it away. But the official, we are just an inn and don't know the details of this person. If he commits any crime, it has nothing to do with us."

The store owner was eager to clear his relationship. He thought to General Xiao to ask his subordinates to check the details of this person. Could this person be a traitor?

The bat untied the package and saw that except for a few torn clothes, it was nothing more than manuscripts and the like. After reading it for a while, he couldn't figure it out. He wrapped it up and said, "I'll take it back and take it back in three days. Do you know how to deal with the rest."

The shop owner nodded and bowed, "Official, no problem, go slowly." After sending the bat away, the shop owner asked the shop owner to look at Ma Zhou, for fear that he would be implicated in the inn. However, he thought to himself that Ma Zhou was just poor and looked powerless. General Xiao actually sent someone to investigate, but he didn't know what it was. Liyang City was busy.

Li Jing was in charge of the mansion, just staring at a huge map on the table. The mountains, rivers and rivers on the map were all painted clearly, with a little red mark in the middle, marking the location of Liyang City.

He didn't close his eyes all night, but he didn't look tired at all.

Li Jing was thinking about something with his fingers gently tapping on the pattern on the table. Someone rushed to report, "General Li, County Chief Chen, and Deputy General Qi have conquered Li Yang Cang and expelled the bandits there. Now they are repairing Li Yang Cang as planned to prevent Wagang from attacking."

The one who reports to the public is Fang Wuxuan.

It turned out that since Li Jing advanced south from Taiyuan, he had been stationed in Changping and Hanoi, hidden and unmoved, but he echoed the east capital where Xiao Buyi was and communicated with information.

Although Wagang is growing more and more powerful, it has few plans to cross the river to expand its territory. Although there are thieves who are constantly crossing the river, they dare not leave Luokou Cang. Hanoi guards Meng Shanyi and Changping guards Yin Shanda both guards the city and keep their local peace for the time being.

Li Mi has been working hard to fight with Xiangyang and Dongdu, and has not cared about Changping and Hanoi for a while.

Li Jing entered the two places as the deputy left-behind place in Taiyuan. Meng Shanyi and Yin Shanda were both exhausted and felt that one side was in danger and were extremely anxious. Seeing that Taiyuan's deputy left-behind place came to support and resisted the bandits together, he was overjoyed.

Of course, there are also people who are confused, and doubtfulness is useless. Li Jing has thousands of elite troops and military power is in hand, so no one dares to question it. After occupying Changping and Hanoi, Li Jing seized the time to train troops, and sent the war horses from the mountain villages and grasslands to Changping. Li Jing rushed to practice and waited for a battle. Li Mi was determined to confront Xiao Buyi, but he did not expect that there was a tiger on the other side of the Yellow River. Below the Chongshan Mountain, there was a tiger ready to go.

Xiao Buyi's quick entry into the east was beyond Li Jing's expectations, but this also made Li Jing more convenient for him to act.

Xiao Buyi's Dongdu monopolized the power and was respected by King Yue, the news had long been spread to both sides of the Yellow River. All counties and counties were greatly motivated and saw some hope.

Since Yang Guang went to Jiangnan, King Yue took charge of the Eastern Capital, and Huangfu Wuyi monopolized the power, the East has been worse and worse, and he has no time to take care of other regions. The surrounding counties and counties are all self-protection. Now I heard that Xiao Buyi's turn from defense to attack was not only excited, but even the Sui officials temporarily gave up the idea of ​​surrendering to bandits and determined the situation.

Xiao Buyi had already issued a secret order, asking Meng Shanyi, Yin Shanda and others to obey Li Jing's dispatch. Now that they received the order from Dongdu, the only doubts in their hearts were thrown out of the sky, and they were greatly excited.

After Li Jing received the support of these two people, he secretly recruited soldiers for training. However, he thoroughly studied the defense of Liyang City early, and accelerated the production of siege equipment, and quietly transported it to Jun County, southwest of Liyang City.

Wang Ruxin only knew how to drink and have fun, Yuan Baozang, and Zheng Yi only knew how to defend the city. After hearing the alliance between Wagang and Dou Jiande, he relaxed his mind. He didn't expect that there would be a large number of troops to attack Hanoi, even when he was escaping, he was still thinking about whether Dou Jiande unilaterally broke the contract and came to attack, but he didn't know that Li Jing had planned for a long time.

Li Jing sent the elite cavalry soldiers to Xiao Buyi's command. While waiting for the siege equipment to be fully prepared, he led his troops to Liyang in person. He led his army to go out at night and rushed overnight. At this time, Li Mi was attracted by the movements in the east capital and made every effort to formulate a plan to attack Luoyang. He was stationed in Luokou Cang to prevent Xiao Buyi from sneak attacking. How could he have thought that Xiao Buyi and his surprise attacked from the other side of the Yellow River, and the target was not Luokou Cang, but Liyang Cang in the rear of Wagang!

Soldiers are the most important, and they can win by surprise. Li Jing has always used military force like this! He trained an iron army with strict military discipline, created a miracle, and pressed Li Yang silently!

After Li Jing arrived near Junxian in the middle of the night, he ordered the army to rest for a while. At dawn, he ordered the entire army to rush to Liyang and attack on three sides. However, the eastern sub-city gate was left.

In fact, the army on both sides of the north and south were also feints, which only created pressure on Li Yang's defenders. As for deliberately leaving the city gates in the east, it was also a strategy. If the dog jumped over the wall when he was anxious, the rabbit would bite people even if he was anxious. If they did not give Wagang people a way to survive, they would inevitably have great resistance to the attack. Li Jing left a road for Wagang people to reduce the resistance to the attack.

As Li Jing expected, under the continuous and serial attacks of the siege army, the Wagang people finally collapsed. Yuan Baozang and Zheng Yi took the lead in running away. As soon as the main general left, the Wagang people melted in the ice and snow, and they broke themselves without attack. After Li Jing successfully captured Liyang City, he was not proud and immediately attacked Liyang Cang according to the scheduled plan.

All local plans have been formulated long ago, and what is now required is a strict implementation plan.

This time Li Jing did not go there in person because Li Yang still needed him to take charge. The generals he sent were Chen Xiaoyi and Qi Luo!

Chen Xiaoyi was originally the governor of Yanmen County, but Qi Luo was Fengchengwei of Mayi, and was originally the subordinate of Li Jing. Xiao Buyi was always a solid memory of meeting talented people. When the battle in Yanmen, he recorded Qi Luo, Chen Xiaoyi and Wang Zhibian were quite talented, which made Fang Wuhui invite him. Qi Luo followed without hesitation, and then went to Yanmen to invite Chen Xiaoyi and Wang Zhibian. However, these two people were still a little hesitant about whether to submit to Xiao Buyi, and Qi Luo returned in vain.

But the world was turbulent and uneasy. Yanmen was soon attacked by Liu Wuzhou. Under Liu Wuzhou's heavy troops, Wang Zhibing attacked, but was lured and killed by Liu Wuzhou. Chen Xiaoyi defended Yanmen City, but he felt a little regretful. Xiao Buyi was far away in the Eastern Capital, so of course he had no time to take care of Yanmen. Chen Xiaoyi was betrayed by his subordinate Zhang Lun. He stabbed from the back to the chest and pretended to die. Zhang Lu went out to welcome Liu Wuzhou into the city. Fang Wuhui still refused to give up. He snatched Chen Xiaoyi's body and reported the news to Xiao Buyi. Unexpectedly, Chen Xiaoyi's life should not be lost. Later, he miraculously moved around. Then he left Yanmen with Qi Luo and went south to surrender to Xiao Buyi.

Xiao Buyi was in charge of the Eastern Capital and kept in touch with Li Jing, so he brought Chen Xiaoyi and Qi Luo to Li Jing to dispatch it.

As the governor of Yanmen County, Chen Xiaoyi has rich experience in defending the city and is of course a good job in siege. Qi Luo has also been tested in Mayi and has rich experience. Although Li Jing made a complete plan to attack Li Yang, Chen Xiaoyi and Qi Luo were implemented.

The two lived up to their trust and conquered Liyang City with careful arrangements. Li Jing immediately ordered the two to attack Liyangcang with all their strength in preparation for storage. The two led their troops to attack Liyangcang without stopping, attacking Liyangcang overnight, and expelling the bandits there.

Now Li Jing has been planning for several months, but in just one day and one night, he has seized Liyang City and Liyang Cang, strangling the Yellow River and the Yongji Canal, and putting Wagang into the middle abdomen of Henan, and unable to develop into Hebei and Shandong.

Hearing that Li Yangcang was defeated, Li Jing nodded slowly and said, "Where is Wang Ruxin? Have you sobered up?"

"He woke up long ago, but he actually woke up last night." Fang Wuhui laughed. "He kept asking who caught him last night, which was also funny."

"Bring him to see me." Li Jing said in a deep voice.

It turned out that when Li Jing attacked Li Yang, he had already ambushed people in Li Yang to create civil strife. Yuan Baozang, and Zheng Yi ran for life alone. Wang Ruxin was drunk and did not listen to others' advice and fell asleep. As a result, everyone rushed to escape. When Li Yang City was conquered, they were still sleeping, but Li Jing sent troops to capture him.

When Wang Ruxin was captured, he could not believe that Li Yang was conquered. When he learned that he had become a prisoner under the ranks, he had already woken up from fright and hurriedly asked who had conquered Li Yang City and was about to abandon the darkness and turn to the light.

The soldiers came in with Wang Ruxin. Wang Ruxin's eyes kept rolling. Seeing Li Jing sitting on the main seat, he said in a lost voice: "Is the person on the seat General Li?"

He showed an inexplicable expression on his face, and he only regretted being tied up and could not dance and express his excitement in his heart.

Li Jing was slightly surprised, "Do you know me?"

Wang Ruxin hurriedly said, "I have long admired Li... General Li. At that time, General Li only led hundreds of soldiers to defeat thousands of bandits in Wagang. Shan Xiongxin, Xu Shiji and others returned in vain. At that time, his reputation was passed down. Xu Shiji painted a portrait of Lord Li. When I saw it, I was shocked to be the god of heaven, so I always remember it in my heart. I have been lucky to see it today. If General Li had already said that he would have attacked the city, I would have served it with both hands. Why should the general come and take it?"

Wang Ruxin's words were actually nonsense. He was custody for one night and finally asked who was capturing him. He had already thought about the word of seeking life. Although he was shameless, he felt a little blushed, but when he thought that his life was at stake, what's the harm of enduring humiliation?

"So, is it mine wrong?" Li Jing's face was as deep as water.

Wang Ruxin was startled and his head was shaking like a rattle. "How dare I say that the general is not, but I just want to express my respect for the general."

"Let him loosen his ties." Li Jing ordered.

The soldier carried out the order without hesitation. Wang Ruxin was at a loss for a moment. Li Jing waved his hand and said, "Wang Sima, please sit down and talk."

Wang Ruxin felt that the first effect of flattery was achieved, and he was secretly happy. Half of his butt was stuck on the chair and said modestly: "With a general here, how can I have a seat? It's just that the general told me that I dare not refuse to obey."

"I am not a general, I am the deputy left-behind in Taiyuan." Li Jing pondered.

Wang Ruxin hurriedly changed his words: "It turns out that the left-behind master devoted his entire work to the Great Sui Dynasty, and I admire it. This Liyang City was originally the city of the Great Sui Dynasty. General Li... No, it was Li Liuzhao who took it, it was really a fairy and authentic way."

"But now I am demoted, but I am working for General Xiao Buyi." Li Jing said lightly.

Wang Ruxin's eyes turned sharply and he was planning to make things happen, "That... General Xiao... I have also admired Daming for a long time, Li... It is a blessing for Lord Xiao to do facts under General Xiao. The Great Sui Dynasty is corrupt, and Lord Li is in an uprising, which is really gratifying."

"But I came down to attack Liyang City under the order of the court." Li Jing said again.
To be continued...
