"Brother, Cui Busheng came to Xia Ju's camp in Liaozhong, and Lu Zhaoci lived in the red lower claws of dry pine trees. Just as he was preparing to rest, Lu Zhaoying said softly outside the tent.

"Master Cui Ren? Please come in!" Lu Zhaoci's expression changed and he said softly.

After a while, the tent was rolled up, and a bit of cold air entered the tent. Lu Zhaoci couldn't help but waved his hand, pointed at Mazar in front of him and said, "Sir, please sit down. Mr. Lei came all night, and Zhaoci was very sorry.

"

"General, you don't have to be like this. Even if the general doesn't hurry, my subordinates will come back tonight." Cui Renshi laughed.

"Oh, it seems that there must be good news there, sir." Lu Zhaoci raised his head, with a hint of joy on his face. His eyes couldn't help but stare at Cui Renshi. This Chai family is not terrible, even if he joins Li Shimin's command, it will be the same.

But what annoyed and disturbed him the most was the Chai family's killers. Although the Chai family's killers had never been seen since the first failure, Lu Zhaoci did not dare to take it lightly. The last thing these aristocratic families lacked was patience.

"When Pei Ji heard that the Chai family had returned to the service of the King of Qin, his old face turned pale in surprise. He also did not want Li Jiancheng to be defeated by the King of Qin. What's more, several big families joined forces to destroy the Chai family. All Chai families in Li Tang's territory

The Pei family will inherit all the property of Li and Tang. He will also give 30% of the property other than Li Tang. How could he not accept such a big gift? Now the general can rest assured."

"Yes!" Lu Zhaoci also nodded, and the look he looked at Cui Renshi changed again. In any case, this Chai family is also one of the Guanlong family. If Cui Renshi can explain it so simply, or

Either the news was false, or there was some ulterior motive between the two people. Of course Lu Zhaoci believed the latter. If there were no benefits, Master Cui Ren would not do such a thing.

I just don’t know what Cui will gain from it.

"I heard that King Shui'an was captured?" Master Cui Ren suddenly asked.

"You also know?" Lu Zhaoci looked at Master Cui Ren in surprise.

"How could you not know about such a big thing? It has been spread all over the place on the way here." Cui Renshi showed a mysterious smile on his lips and said: "They all say that Li Xiaoji is incompetent, and he was attacked from both sides. He deserves to be captured.

"Originally, we planned to rescue King Yong'an in Meiliangchuan. Unfortunately, Yuchi Gong was too skilled in martial arts. At the last moment, he threatened King Yong'an. In desperation, we had to let him go. I don't know if Your Majesty will blame him.

." Lu Zhaoci's voice was low, his head slightly lowered, but his eyes lightly glanced at Master Cui Ren.

Cui Renshi stroked his beard and said, "Even if your Majesty doesn't believe you, he will still believe what Tang Jian said. In fact, among the clansmen of the Tang Dynasty, the most powerful one is Li Daozong, the king of Rencheng, and Li Xiaogong, the king of Zhaojun, is the most capable.

The remaining sixteen county princes were just show-offs." In the early Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan conferred the title of Li Daozong, Li Xiaogong and other eighteen people as county princes.

"Now the King of Rencheng is making jade and following the command of King Qin. As for King Zhao, he is facing off against Xiao Rui at the moment. The two generals of the clan have different reactions! When King Zhao attacked Bashu, he attacked Bashu for more than thirty consecutive times.

This city is beyond the reach of ordinary people." Lu Zhaoci said calmly, his words filled with a hint of inexplicable emotion.

"I heard that there was a man named Li Jing under the general's command in the past. He left the capital a few days ago and was used to deal with Xiao Mian." Cui Renshi's eyes flashed with coldness.

"The pharmacist is a magnanimous gentleman and a pure soldier." Lu Zhaoci said with a smile: "If it comes to marching and fighting, he must be in high spirits, but he doesn't care about other fame and wealth."

"That's a pity." Cui Renshi lowered his head and said.

"Forget it. The most important thing now, sir, is to unite with Pei Ji and concentrate on dealing with the Chai family! If the Chai family is not destroyed, the general will be uneasy." Lu Zhaoci waved his hand and said: "Tomorrow I will go north to guerrilla Liu Wuzhou.

Dajun. Please leave this matter to sir."

"How are you going to deal with Lu Chongmao, general?" Cui Renshi stared at Lu Zhaoci and said.

"Behead him. If you don't kill him, how can you deal with His Majesty?" Lu Zhaoci's mouth showed a hint of bitterness.

road.

"That's fine. However, my subordinates thought that after the general captured Xia County, he immediately sent Lu Chongmao's head to Paibi so that the King of Qin could send people to take over Xia County. In this way, the general would have enough time and energy to deal with Liu Wuzhou

Yes." Cui Renshi said with a hint of sinister smile in his mouth: "If the general doesn't have time, I would like to go out on the general's behalf."

"Why, do you want to meet His Highness the King of Qin?" Lu Zhaoci said with a smile, "That's alright! I'll just trouble you, sir. I don't know what King Yong'an thinks. Does such a dilapidated city wall need any siege equipment?"

.

"So he was captured." Cui Renshi smiled.

The next day, Lu Zhaoci commanded an army to besiege Xia County. He ordered people to surround the four gates and attack desperately. The city defense of Xia County was not good at all, and there were only more than a thousand defenders in the city. They were no match for Lu Zhaoci's army. There were only two people.

Within an hour, they were captured. Lu Chongmao was captured alive by Lu Zhaoying. After Lu Zhao resigned, he ordered Cui Renshi to send him to Paibi in person.

Under the city of Paibi, with a joint camp of dozens of miles, the big word "Song" on the big poison of the Chinese army shows that this is exactly the deployment of Song Jinwang of Dingyang's army. Song Jinwang is a good soldier and has deep knowledge of the army.

With the trust of Liu Wuzhou, Ding Yang's army gave all the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses to Song and Jinwang. Although he knew that Li Tang's army was divided into two groups, he also knew that the main force of the other party must be fighting for the bi. As long as he defeated Li Tang's main force

, could he completely pacify Shanxi and capture Guanzhong. Therefore, he only divided his troops with Wang Xingben, Yu Chigong and others, while he faced off with Li Shimin to take the jade.

"What? Lu Chongmao was killed." In the camp, Song Jinwang looked livid as he looked at Tan Ma in front of him.

"Come back to the commander, General Lu's head has been hung on the tower." The spy looked frightened and knelt on the ground uneasily.

"Humph, Li Shimin, if you kill one of my generals, I will kill one of your kings." Song Jinwang looked ferocious and said coldly: "Pull that Li Xiaoji out and behead him, show him to the public, and let Li Shimin also

Take a look, kid." After a while, he saw a human head hanging above the camp gate of Ding Yang Jun. It was none other than Li Xiaoji.

"Hey, if I had known this, I shouldn't have hung Lu Chongmao's head on the city tower, which would have harmed the life of King Yong'an. How will I explain to my father after this court appearance?" Li Shimin glanced at Changsun Wuji dissatisfied.

At a glance, it was obvious that this idea came from Changsun Wuji.

"Humph, there is nothing we can do about this. Who is Lu Chongmao? He is a rebel. Since he is a rebel, he must be severely punished." Changsun Wuji snorted coldly: "If it were possible, I would like to massacre the entire Xia County. It's a pity.

It is not His Highness who is going to war."

"This move is for the sake of Heavenly Harmony and cannot be done." Gao Shilian waved his hands repeatedly.

"It would be better to ridicule Qi Yu like this in the 08 Shanxun book" to intimidate those who have different intentions to forget. Now in Shanxi, the professional swordsman is especially the sixth middle school. Here, the strength of our army is far inferior to Liu Wuzhou, and I don't know

How many people are hiding in the dark to plot against us? Waiting for our defeat, waiting to join Liu Wuzhou's side, if we don't impose the death penalty, how can we deter those His Highness Xiao? I thought that the eldest son, Sun Wuji, should be massacred with soldiers, with a twinkle in his eyes.

Hanguang said: "How can a woman be allowed to be kind on the battlefield? If His Highness the King of Qin does not want to suffer such a bad reputation, I am willing to bear it."

"If you wish to go to Xia County again, the Hou Junji will gather more and more people." Lu Zhaoci captured Xia County and killed Lu Chongmao to save his fault. Your Highness must not fall behind, otherwise it will be difficult to explain Du Ruhui's deep feelings to the emperor.

sighed.

"In that case, you should go to Hou Junji." Li Shimin's eyes lit up and he immediately made a decision. That was to massacre the city. This was also the first massacre of a city since the founding of the Tang Dynasty.

"The last general ordered Hou Junji to look happy. He led his flying tiger cavalry and attacked Xia County.

,

Under the city of Huoyi, Liu Wu gathered three thousand elite soldiers here, but he was helpless. The walls of the city of Huoyi were mottled, pitted, and stained with blood. The moat under the city was full of blood red, and the city walls were covered in blood.

Broken limbs and broken arms were everywhere. It was winter now and the weather was cold. Otherwise, the plague would have started early at this time.

Where is Huoyi? It has been changed to Luzhou. Who is the governor of Luzhou? He is the biological father of General Lu Zhaoci of Li Tang Dynasty. The property of the Lu family in Hedong is here, as well as the Zhang family in Hedong and so on.

All the noble families gathered in Huoyi City. As long as Huoyi is conquered, not only can they get the food and grass that Dingyang's army urgently needs, but more importantly, if they can capture Lu Changqing, they can force Lu Zhaoci to surrender. Otherwise, Li Yuan will not

He would appoint Sheng Zhaoci as the general. It is a pity that until now, Huoyi City is still standing in front of him, and his 30,000 troops have lost nearly 5,000 troops. But now it is better. Lu Zhao

The 20,000-strong army led by Ci finally reached Shanxi. Di Renzhan defeated Yuchi Gong and Xunxiang's 3,000-strong army. Yuchigong and Xunxiang fled to Tianyao with only dozens of horses; in the second battle,

They captured Xia County in less than two hours, killed Lu Chongmao, and ensured the safety of Li Shimin's flanks. What worried Liu Wuzhou even more was that after Lu Zhaoci captured Xia County, the 20,000-strong army disappeared without a trace.

No matter how Tanma inquired, there was no trace of the army, which made Liu Wuzhou very worried. God knows where Lu Zhaoci went...

He couldn't find Lu Zhaoci. It was no wonder that his scouts were incompetent. He could only blame himself. Liu Wu and Zhou's army attacked Xiujun Paibi from Mayi, almost crossing the entire Shanxi Province. Even though there was a lot of food and grass in Jinyang Palace,

But it was also consumed a lot by Li Yuan, and the roads along the way were even difficult to travel. The snow in the Queshu Valley was very deep, making it difficult to transport food and grass. As a result, Liu Wuzhou's army of hundreds of thousands was short of food and grass. In desperation, Liu Wuzhou

He had no choice but to give an order. The troops under his command foraged for food on the spot and searched for food and grass everywhere. As a result, not only the poor people were unlucky, but also some wealthy families suffered, which was almost as bad as when Pei Ji searched the mountains. It just so happened that at this time,

I heard that Lu Zhaoci and Li Shimin led an army into Shanxi. These aristocratic families turned to Li Tang's arms.

Grandpa Taizu's experience at that time was that only by relying on the masses can victory be achieved. How could Liu Wuzhou achieve victory if he was separated from the masses of the people? Without the support of the masses of the people, they suddenly became blind in their chariots. Where could they find any information? More

Because they don’t know the behavior of Lu Zhaoci’s army

Already.

On the official road in Puzhou, Yu Chigong's face was gloomy, and his old partner Xunxiang's face was not good-looking. Behind him, more than 10,000 troops were meandering on the official road. They walked to Puzhou to support Wang Xingben. Puzhou was repairing

The southwest of the county is a battleground for military strategists. Li Shimin sent Li Daozong, the king of Rencheng, to attack Puzhou. Once Puzhou was captured, the entire southwest of Shanxi would not be owned by Dingyang's army. Therefore, he knew that the other party had already occupied Xia County.

, connecting Yi County, Xia County, and Jinzhou. But Song Jinwang would not give up on the nails behind Li Tang. That's why Wei Chi Jingde was asked to come to support Puzhou.

"Where are we?" Yuchi Gong asked the guide after calling him.

"If we go back to the general, Anyi is ahead." The guide said carefully.

"Jingde, this Lu Zhaoci is elusive. Don't get ambushed at this time." Xun Xiang glanced around carefully.

"Humph, this Lu Zhaoci is nothing more than that. At the foot of Tangwang Mountain, it was just a sneak attack. If our army hadn't been on its way back and was unprepared, how could we have been hindered by him? Look! If he didn't come this time

That’s all, if he comes, I, Big Lao Hei, will let him come and go, and let him taste the power of my Big Lao Hei’s steel whip.”

"Haha, uh! You really hit the mark." Xun Xiang seemed to have his throat touched, his eyes widened. At some point, a group of cavalry appeared just a stone's throw away, led by two people.

, one person is holding Fang Tian's painted halberd, with a handsome face, and there is a big flag behind him, with the words "Zhao Guogong, General Lu of the Zhenjun" written on it. I am afraid this person is Lu Zhaoci, and beside him. Because of this,

The man with dark complexion, leopard eyes and black cheeks was none other than Lu Zhaoying, who had fought Yuchi Gong for dozens of rounds last time.

"Let's start with Yuchi Jingde. Lu has been waiting here for a long time. Lu Zhaoci laughed and said. Where is Shanxi and where is Hedong? It is the hometown of the Lu family, although the Golden Eagle Hall is now besieged in Huoyi.

, but there are branches of the Golden Eagle Hall all over the cities in the east of the river, and the Lu family has countless shops, and they all serve as the eyes and ears of the Lu family. Now that Lu Zhaoci has led the army here, there is no reason to use it. Yuchi Gong's army has just been dispatched.

He got the news and waited in Anyi early.

"Are you Lu Zhaoci?" Yuchi Gong's expression changed. He didn't expect Lu Zhaoci to appear here. Judging from his appearance, it was obvious that he had been waiting for a long time.

"Yes, Lu Zhaoci laughed loudly and said: "Jingde, Liu Wuzhou's army is now short of food and grass. The defeat is not far away. General, why don't you abandon the secret and surrender to the light, submit to my lord, and Lu will protect you from wealth and honor for life, how about it?"

"Humph, you talk too much nonsense. You should let me, Da Laohei, try to see if your martial arts skills are as good as your mouth." Yuchi Gong's expression changed. He rushed forward with his horse and the long spear in his hand.

He stabbed Lu Zhaoci, and behind him, Xunxiang led his troops and horses to follow closely, and also came to kill the Tang army. In an instant, the official road was filled with shouts of killing. If you want to know what happened next, please, please
