The face changed rapidly and everyone was thrilling to watch./First/Posted

It was not until Li Jing flew out and Li Xuanba broke through the roof and escaped, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and decided that Li Jing had won. Although Li Jing could not kill Li Xuanba, he at least drove Li Xuanba away and did not let his plan succeed.

But after Li Xuanba rushed to the roof, although he disappeared, there was still a 'ping-pong-pong' sound in the room.

Everyone was confused and frightened, not knowing who Li Xuanba was fighting with.

However, the sound of the sound was not long, and it fell silent in a flash. Everyone was puzzled, but they knew that the overall situation had been settled. A great battle in the county magistrate's mansion, Lei Shimeng and Dong Jingzhen were injured, but they killed Zhang Xiu, Song Zixian and repelled Li Xuanba. This was also a blessing in disgrace.

When Dong Jingzhen heard Li Jing say it was a pity, she stepped forward embarrassedly and said, "General Li, I think that although Li Xuanba escaped, the trick did not succeed. We have already won this battle." He still doesn't understand this situation, but he understands that Li Jing will arrive early and just wait for Li Xuanba. He wants to be in the dark, but he can't even deal with Zhang Zhu, and he is nervous.

Li Jing turned his head and asked, "General Dong Lang, how serious is he injured?"

When Dong Jingzhen heard the concern in Li Jing's tone, she hurriedly raised her chest, "It's okay!"

Li Jing sighed and said, "Li Xuanba is cunning. Although I guessed the place where he started, I couldn't find his people. If I want to kill him, I could only attract him. Li Tang never gave up buying people's hearts. Xiangyang City is located in a concise place, and it should be their focus on buying people's hearts. I was afraid of alarming the enemy and turning around in advance, so I only talked to Lord Dou and Zhou Muru."

Everyone said, "It is indeed difficult to find such a person. General Li is cautious and should do this." Everyone said intimately that Dou Yi was the hero. After Xu Shiji left, Dou Yi always defended Xiangyang. Zhou Muru was Xiao Buyi's brother to death. It was normal for Li Jing to trust these two people.

Li Jing looked at Lei Shimeng and Dong Jingzhen apologetically and said, "But this caused the two generals to be injured. It is not my original wish. If you are dissatisfied, just blame me.

”

Dong Jingzhen hurriedly knelt on one knee. Lei Shinn struggled and smiled, "General Li's words are bad. He is doing things in order to be safe and do things in a thorough manner. Why is there any wonder? Not to mention that he was just injured today. Even if he died, he can be considered loyal to the country. What regrets is there? Lord Dou didn't take advantage of the crossbow when I fought with that Song Zixian, which saved my life." He knew something. That was when he intercepted Song Zixian, Dou would have a better chance.

Dou shook his head and said, "I saw him rushing towards him with a fierce look. Although General Li had a brilliant plan to protect him, he was already scared. If he had to stop him, he would be killed by him even if there was a crossbow box."

Everyone laughed. I knew that Dou Yi was humble and still was so hot. Dou Yi was calm and sophisticated just now. He was definitely not afraid of himself.

Li Jing knew that Dou Yi was still not at the right time. Otherwise, he would have hurt Song Zixian no matter how much he said. However, Dou was a civil official after all. He was praised for his performance today.

Dou asked, "General Li, then Zheng Wenxiu..."

Everyone looked at Li Jing and waited for the answer. Li Jing said, "Li Xuanba is not only a masterpiece, but also good at disguising. His disguising method is very clever. From Langshan when he pretended to be Yang Shanhui, he gave Dou Jiande a fatal blow. He was prepared for a long time in the battle between Langshan, but it was chaotic and quarreled with many parties. At the moment, Xiangyang is very familiar with everyone, and he will have flaws if he is not careful. According to my speculation, he probably has not been a few days since he disguised as Zheng Wenxiu this time, and his voice and appearance are afraid that others will be seen. So when Zhang Xiu captured him, he played a play with Zhang Xiu, covering his face with blood and his voice was hoarse, just to conceal his true identity to meet Lord Dou."

Dong Jingzhen said ashamedly: "The last general is extremely incompetent, but he can't even notice it."

Li Jing shook his head and said, "He carefully planned and every step was disturbing. Don't say that you didn't know, even if I was temporarily alert. Besides... If General Dong Lang didn't lead him into the mansion, my plan would not be implemented."

Everyone was secretly shocked when they thought of the twists and turns.

During the silence, a soldier came in and said, "Report to General Li, Zheng Wenxiu's body was dug out from the garden on Zheng Wenxiu's mansion."

Everyone was shocked again, everyone was in danger. Li Jing saw their horror and comforted him: "Don't worry, Li Xuanba's martial arts skills are not bad, but how can he continue to kill people in the world? What's more... he is injured, and there are more important things to do. I'm just afraid that he will leave Xiangyang soon..."

Kong Shaoan walked over tremblingly, "Is there anything more important than seizing Xiangyang?"

Li Jing said: "Li Xuanba has been operating behind the scenes, but he can't wait to take action during this period... There should be a hidden story." Li Jing said this, and no longer spoke, and everyone asked. Another soldier came, his body was covered in blood, and he knelt on one knee and said: "I am incompetent and did not capture Li Xuanba. However... he did not come out of the gap on the roof, and his subordinates were short of staff..."

"This guy is cunning, and escaping has nothing to do with you." Li Jing stretched out his hand to help the soldiers up and ordered: "Strictly search for Li Xuanba's whereabouts. Let the soldiers in the southwest corner of Xiangyang City be prepared for strict defense. No matter what, he cannot be allowed to go to the southwest to report the news." When the soldiers retreated, Li Jing explained: "Li Xuanba's martial arts are very good, so it is not easy to kill him. I had already set up a crossbowman at the exit of the county magistrate's mansion to prevent him from escaping, but he still escaped from the roof. In fact, I also set up a defense on the roof, just to be afraid that he would not have many people, and there was a big net. I just shot the roof. If he ran away from the entrance of the cave, he would probably have been covered in the net at this moment. Unfortunately, this guy was really intrigued and rushed out from the other end and escaped my trap, which is regrettable. According to the news, the Tang soldiers should have approached the southwest of Xiangyang and accumulated strength to rush into the city."

Only then did everyone understand what Li Jing meant to say just now, and he felt really regretful. Li Jing had tried his best to kill Li Xuanba, but Li Xuanba was extraordinary and still let him escape.

Dou Yi said: "I forgive Li Xuanba for being alone when he was injured. It is difficult to achieve success. The most urgent task at the moment is to eliminate the cavalry outside Xiangyang and guard the city closely."

Li Jing nodded and said, "What Master Dou said is good, but I have arrangements for the city defense. Li Xuanba's plan failed, and those people retreated without fighting. But since they are here, they must be entertained."

"Did General Li already have troops to deal with them?" Kong Shaoan asked.

Li Jing nodded and said, "No, I'm afraid the fight has started now."

After hearing Li Jing's explanation, everyone admired Li Jing very much. They thought that no matter how complicated the matter was, it would be orderly and clearly in the order. Everyone was surprised and happy. Dou remembered something and asked, "What's wrong with Shen Faxing?"

Li Jing was invincible in his troops to fight, but in front of Shen Faxing, he seemed to have been stagnant, which made everyone somewhat confused. You must know that Shen Faxing was nothing, but Li Jing has not been able to stop for a long time, which makes people a little strange.

Li Jingdao

Faxing lost his power and had few supporters, and there was not enough. I have never attacked him. Once he was exhausted, it was only a matter of collapse. On the other hand, he was paralyzing Li Xuanba and Li Yuan to accumulate strength for the next attack. I was waiting for Li Xuanba in Xiangyang, and I was waiting for the spring season, and it happened to send troops!"

Everyone asked, "Where is the next goal?"

Li Jing no longer conceals, "Wuguan!"

Everyone was shocked and asked again, "When will the troops be sent?"

Li Jing said lightly: "We have sent troops! Now the navy has transported food, grass and supplies to the north along the waterway, and most of it has arrived in Xiyang at this moment!"

**

Early spring is cold, and the night is long. Before this night passes, the battle between wits and power is almost over in Xiangyang City. The shortcomings are that Li Xuanba escapes, but the news has not yet reached outside Xiangyang City.

As Li Xuanba said, thousands of cavalry had already moved south to Xiangyang.

No matter how brave Li Xuanba is, without the cooperation of Li Tang's elite soldiers, he will not be able to control Xiangyang no matter what, no matter how he is, he will not be able to control the world!

The people who led the troops on this trip were for Li Jiancheng's three generals, named Murong Xiaoqian, Wang Huaiwen and He Baliang. All three were brave generals under Li Jiancheng who were good at fighting. Following the instructions of Li Jiancheng, they only prepared food for three days, and then went out to attack Xiangcheng County, but took the way south. While the defenders in Xiyang and Nanyang were closed to prepare for war, they passed the two counties and first arrived at Digucheng, the northwest corner of Xiangyang City, and within another day, they continued south to near Jingshan.

According to the order, they rushed north while the dusk was in the middle of the night and arrived at the southwest corner of Xiangyang.

Now that we march, we strive to make the route unpredictable and the direction is difficult to grasp. Even if the opponent knows it, he will not be able to guard against it.

When the three generals get the order, they must be taken back by the internal supporter after the third update, wait for an opportunity to enter the city and control Xiangyang.

This order is actually a bit unclear, but the three generals strictly enforced it, because the prince said that one word is the only one who has made a word. How to do it after entering the city has been discussed. In fact, as long as the leader is controlled, the city of Xiangyang can be stable. Of course, it is difficult to control it for a long time with these three generals and thousands of cavalry, but the three generals are not worried, because when the three generals set off from Jingshan to take Xiangyang, Li Fengci also led more than 10,000 cavalry infantry out of Wuguan and headed straight to Xiangyang!

Li Fengci and Li Boyi are both outstanding members of the Li Tang royal family. These two are both literary and military, and can be said to be with Li Xiaogong, Li Daoxuan, Li Daozong and others for a while.

Li Xiaogong was blind, Li Daoxuan died early, Li Daozong and Li Shimin are now fighting against the Western Liang army in Yishui. Among the Li Tang royal family, the young generation is outstanding but rarely comes to power, only Li Fengci and Li Boyi are left.

It’s not that Li Yuan doesn’t value these two people, but that these two people are also taking on extremely important tasks.

The four gates of Guanlong are closest to the territory of Xiao Buyi. Tongguan is natural passes, with heavy troops, and it is difficult for the enemy to break. However, Wuguan is far inferior to Tongguan in terms of terrain or pass. This is an extremely weak area in the Qinling Mountains, and it is considered a side gate to enter Guanzhong. At that time, whether it was Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang or Huan Wen of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, they all drove straight from here to advance to the vital points of the enemy. After passing Wuguan, it was the pass, and to the west of the pass was Languan. These three passes were located on the lower city of the mountain, and the guarding area was the most important shield for the Western Capital.

You should know that after passing the three passes, you have already arrived at Bashang. At that time, Xijing was almost naked in front of the opponent. Li Yuan knew very well that the three passes were important, so he sent King Xiang Li Shenfu to guard Lan Pass, King Shannan Li Shuliang, King Zheng Li Deliang to guard the pass, King Xihe Li Fengci, and King Longxi Li Boyi to guard Wu Pass.

You should know that invading Hedong, Li Yuan sent Li Shentong, the King of Yongkang to fight against Hebei, and sent three generals, Li Shimin, Li Xiaoji, and Li Daozong, to guard the side gate of Wuguan, but used these many close friends, which shows Li Yuan's attention to this place.

However, from this we can also see the strength of the family, and Li Yuan valued his relatives.

Although the Li family has experienced many hardships, they are still full of talents and the world is looking at each other.

Li Fengci and Li Boyi have always guarded Wu Pass and are in peace with the Western Liang army. This time, they attacked Xiangyang, and Li Boyi stayed at Wu Pass. Li Fengci led his army south and saw that Li Yuan was sure to win the battle.

All links are in full swing. As long as these troops enter Xiangyang, Li Jiancheng will immediately lead his troops south, abandon hundreds of miles outside Tongguan, and fight in Jingxiang.

In this way, Li Tang has a vast sea and no need to stick to the eastern capital, but it should be a new situation in another place.

But everything is based on the must-take Xiangyang, but to this day, Xiangyang is still silent and silent.

The three generals were already feeling uneasy, but they could only wait. They were like monsters hidden in the dark, looking quietly at Xiangyang City in the distance, not knowing when they would wait.

Suddenly, Wang Huaiwen said: "Look."

The other two generals looked up and saw the fire on the top of the city, which seemed very eye-catching in the dark night. Wang Huaiwen said excitedly: "Success, go quickly." He rode his horse to move forward, and Murong Xiaoqian whispered: "Wait!"

"What are you waiting for?" Wang Huaiwen asked in confusion.

"The fire is wrong." Hebaliang said: "In addition to the fire we agreed on, there are also special fireworks!"

"Maybe fireworks cannot be set off inside?" Wang Huaiwen said: "The opportunity should not be missed, and you will never come again! If there is no civil strife in the city, why is it going? Since there is chaos, we can take the opportunity to seize the city!"

"What if it's a trap?" Murong Xiaoqian asked coldly.

Wang Huaiwen was stunned, "You mean, they lure us to go? Then... the inner responder failed?"

Li Yuan had been planning for a long time to capture Xiangyang. The three generals also traveled a long distance for this battle, but they could not enter the gate. You can imagine how depressed he felt.

Seeing that the other two generals were still hesitating, Wang Huaiwen said: "The prince and the emperor attach great importance to this matter. How can the inner person easily fail? If we hesitate and miss the opportunity, then if the prince starts to blame after the turn, which one should we blame?"

Murong Xiaoqian, as the leader of the march, shook his head when he heard this, and said, "General Wang is such a bad word. I think we should do things safely. If we just want to shirk responsibility, how can we do things? It is obvious that the signal of the agreement is wrong and there are already problems. If we still fly into the flames, then the opponent is not responsible."

Wang Huaiwen was both ashamed and angry, and He Baliang said, "Why should we send a few people to find out the news first and then make a decision?" While the three of them were discussing, a flying cavalry arrived in the east and said anxiously: "Three generals, the big things are not good. There are heavy troops coming to the east, and the number is unknown."

Before Feiqi finished speaking, the three generals heard the rumbling sound of the east. Although it seemed to be far away, it was also thrilling. In the city of Xiangyang, the city gate suddenly opened wide, and soldiers shouted and rushed out. In the quiet night, it made people feel terrified.

The three generals saw soldiers coming out of Xiangyang City, and they had already heard of the matter, and their faces changed. Murong Xiaoqian immediately said, "There are enemies in the east and the city soldiers in the north. If you want to lose things, the Xiangyang soldiers will attack. We are outnumbered, so it is better to retreat west and turn north to Xiyang to meet with the King of Xihe, and make plans."

this

Both of them were united. Seeing the situation was urgent, the other two generals said, "This plan was very good. The three men's rear army turned into front army and retreated quickly.

The Tang army's battles were far from comparable to bandits. Although they were attacked, they were still panicked and unrest. The cavalry rode their horses and even threw their hooves behind them.

Li Jing slowly rode out of the city, and dust and smoke from the east were everywhere, and more than a hundred war horses rushed over. One leader was Chen Xiaoyi. Behind the more than a hundred horses, they were dragging dead branches and rotten trees, and they were all in a huge momentum. It turned out that the Eastern cavalry was just a trick of doubting the army, and there were only a thousand people coming out of Xiangyang City. The three generals of the Tang army were unclear in the night, and the enemy was so scared that they fled in panic.

Seeing Li Jing in front, Chen Xiaoyi immediately bowed and said, "Report to General, the Tang army fled west, Zhang Liang was waiting for robbery and killing on the west road. The food and supplies have been transferred along the waterway to Nanxiang. Up to now, the Jianghuai army has 20,000 land and land, and the Jingxiang army has all reached the designated location. The latest news from Lord Zhang that he sent 20,000 Xiliang army, led by Guo Xiaoke and Zhang Gongjin, and will also arrive in Nanxiang as soon as possible and cooperate with General Li's local operations!"

Li Jing showed a faint smile on his face, "I feel very relieved that Lord Zhang Zhenzhou is doing things safely. With Zhang Gongjin and Guo Xiaoke help me, I can accomplish great things."

Zhang Gongjin, Guo Xiaoke, Zhang Liang, Chen Xiaoyi and others were all promoted by Li Jing. Now he has a great reputation on the battlefield, especially Zhang Gongjin. When the battle in Hedong was fought, the Tang army was afraid. Zhang Zhenzhou transferred these two people to come, and he really supported Li Jing with all his strength.

Chen Xiaoyi was a little worried and said, "Will Li Jiancheng take advantage of the situation by taking out the people in the valley?"

Li Jing said: "Mr. Zhang is good at using the regular soldiers. Besides, Dongdu will soon be able to replenish troops. Although Li Jiancheng and Qu Tutong are not bad, they do not occupy any land. As long as Lord Zhang sticks to it, they will have no choice but to deal with Lord Zhang. What's more, Li Jiancheng will probably not be able to fight for too long."

Chen Xiaoyi was puzzled, "Why is this?"

Li Jing said lightly: "Now Li Tang sent troops on three sides and was defeated by Hebei. Although the three groups of troops were sent, the strength of Guanzhong was greatly damaged. Their limited troops still had to deal with the Liang Shidu. If there were a large army to take Xijing directly, what would you say Li Jiancheng would?"

"We should return to help." Chen Xiaoyi said immediately.

Li Jing smiled slightly, "Yes, Li Yuan bullied my two brothers for too long, and now, we finally turn the other way!"
