The sky in the north is gloomy and the wind is like a roar.

Under the thick city walls of Ji County, the yellow Yan-like flag was as beautiful as mountains and seas. Under the banner, there were crowds of people. Countless soldiers wearing torn clothes and yellow turbans all raised their heads and stared at the top of the city.

"break!"

"break!"

Countless warriors were raised, and at the intersection of everyone's eyes, a huge stone bullet cut through the sky.

The city wall was shaken and shaking, a burst of gray smoke and dust rushed up, and the cheers of thousands of soldiers in the city shook thousands of miles!

Under the southern city, more than a dozen catapults exerted force together, and the machine squeaked and the wooden arms made a squeaking sound. The tip of the cannon bounced straight from the wooden frame, and a huge stone bullet whistled through the air, and with a bang, it hit the high wall. The city wall still shook on it, and the fragments of the stone bullet splashed quickly to all sides. A defender on the city wall was unlucky and was directly penetrated by gravel and killed on the city wall.

The king of heaven, King Xubaxiong stood on the platform, behind him, lined up to the foot of the mountain in the distance, and looked at the plains with his army. When a real man was alive, he would be worth his life. Seeing this scene, Wang Xuba was immediately full of confidence, and suddenly drew his sword and slashed towards the sky!

Dongdongdongdongdongdong!

The war drums were beating and golden spears danced. The thousands of old and weak soldiers filled with trenches under the city wall were half dead and injured, but they paved a way for Wang Xuba to lead directly to the city wall. Under the yellow Yan banner, countless big men drank a bowl of wine to see him off, and choked, smashed the porcelain bowl under their hands, then raised the steel knife in their hands and surged up the city wall like waves. The three armies moved, and the soldiers did not return forever, and immediately rushed down the city like a terrifying wave.

The defenders on the city began to fight back. The city walls were densely filled with Sui soldiers holding huge oars, with iron armor, and their eyes were cold under the head, looking at the thief soldiers under the city who were like ants attached to the city.

Stone casting, bows and arrows, and rolling oil, fell from the city without any money, and the defenders' counterattack was very fierce. Especially the stone casting carts that defended the city were fighting against the stone casting carts on the side of the siege. Each huge rock fell, and a piece of dust was rolled up on the ground, and then blood was oozing out from the stone. At the dense crowd of siege soldiers who could not move away, they could only be covered with flesh and blood under the attack of the stone bullets.

Not enough, 9 is not enough! The king pulled out his sword and kept asking his son to come forward to attack the city.

A general succeeded and had thousands of bones tickled and could not conquer Ji County. Where did the food for tens of thousands of troops come from during the winter?

If you cannot conquer Jixian, the countless weapons and armored soldiers in the city that conquered Liao were left to the shelves?

"Capture Jixian, everyone eats meat!" Wang Xu drew his sword and shouted. The soldiers of the three armies immediately started to move. The cold wind of Han Che did not freeze the hands and feet of the soldiers. They threw the Baotou headscarf and rushed to the city wall bravely.

Wang Xu narrowed his eyes and walked back and forth with his sword. He had been in charge for two and a half years. The surrendered officials of the Sui Dynasty flattered him as a commoner. Yes, a cowherd, who has held more than 100,000 troops in his hand today, what does a real man have to ask for?

Wang Xuba put a helmet on the hilt of his sword, and his gaze suddenly rose. He stared at the city wall, and the sky with low lead clouds hanging down. Now Gao Shida and Zhang Jin said they were dead. Now, I am the only one left among the rebel kings in Hebei. If he doesn't stand up and climb up and shout, who can replace him? But if he wants to recruit subordinates, he must have food, no food, grass, and armor. Why should others vote for you?

But it would be different to be able to capture Jixian. However, with its food, grass and weapons, it would be easier to recruit more than 100,000 elite troops, and then it would sweep over Hebei. What would Li Mi be like at that time? If one day, I could become the emperor, one for myself, two for the sake of success, and three for the sake of the people in the future, and not be oppressed by corrupt officials, even a cowherd can marry a wife.

"Kill, kill, boys. Beat our drum!" Wang Xuba drew his sword again and shouted. The drummers on the central army responded to the scene and beat the drums in his hands more vigorously. The shouts and sounds of killing and drums on all sides had long left him unable to hear anything.

call!

A huge rock in the city was thrown up high in the air, as if throwing it with his hands. Wang Xuba looked at the huge rock but was stunned. The black shadow on his forehead suddenly became bigger and bigger. Wang Xuba seemed to have understood something for a while, and immediately ran away.

boom!

The huge rock fell to the ground, and the central general collapsed.

December, 12th year of Daye.

Although it is winter at this moment, Yangzhou is nourishing people. Although the tiny smell is flying, it does not have the bitter and cold taste of the north. In the Yangzhou Palace, the craftsmen in the garden in the imperial garden cut flowers with colorful silk early and inserted them on the branches to make the shape of hundreds of flowers flourishing in winter, decorating the entire imperial garden with extra beauty.

Yu Shiji took the memorial in his hand and walked through the corridor of the Yulin soldiers. From a distance, he saw that Emperor Yang Guang of Sui was wearing a yellow dragon robe, facing the water and holding a fishing rod in the palace.

The eunuch on the side whispered to Yu Shiji, saying, "After seeing the memorials sent by Xue Shixiong and Yang Yichen, Long Yan was very happy. He was much better than the mood. He also made an exception and ate an extra bowl of jade pear porridge. Now he has been drying for half an hour. In a while, you can pick up more happy things and talk to His Majesty."

"Thank you, Eunuch Liu."

After Yu Shiji thanked him, the two of them stopped talking and turned around a corner of the door. After the guards checked their identities, Yu Shiji silently walked behind Yang Guang, bowed to Yang Guang and whispered: "Greetings to Your Majesty."

Yang Guang had already had the ground dragon on both sides, so it was warm and not cold at all. Yang Guang pulled away the fishing rod and said with a smile: "Yu Qing, sit here quickly, and say softly, my fish will be scared away. How do you think I will punish you?"

Yu Shiji pretended to be aggrieved and said, "No matter how your Majesty punishes you, the empress will accept it. Isn't it the thunder and rain that is the kindness of the Lord?"

Yang Guang laughed and said, "You can say it nicely. I am very energetic today. I haven't seen the sun for a long time. Come and fish, and I can be content with it. Yu Qing, do you know how to fish?"

Yu Shiji kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, I know a little about fishing, but I am not very proficient in it. But I heard that Jiang Ziya and Yan Ziling are both masters of fishing."

Yang Guang was very satisfied with Yu Shiji's calm flattery. He took the memorial at hand and knocked on Jinxian Guan on the top of Yu Shiji's head, saying, "You can speak, you have read the memorial too. Yang Qing and Xue Qing did a great job in the north. I feel very relieved. Now several anti-kings in Hebei have been wiped out, and the remaining ones are not enough. How do you think you should reward the meritorious ministers?"

Yu Shiji looked at the memorials around Yang Guang and knew it. In fact, he was coming for this matter. Someone had paid a lot of money to say hello to him early and asked him to say a word or two in front of the imperial court.

Yu Shiji was based on his professional qualities of taking money and eliminating disasters, saying: "Yang Yichen successively destroyed Ge Qian, Zhang Jin said, "Gao Shida, so he must be rewarded. Now the thieves around Hebei are small forces, and although there are many, they will not become a climate. There are no need to worry. Yang Yichen almost wiped out the thieves and had heavy troops outside the stable for a long time. It is very inappropriate, but he has to be guarded."

After Yang Guang held his hands in his arms, Yang Xuangan and Huo Sizheng's rebellion immediately floated in front of him. Yang Guangshen said with consent, "Yu Qing is considerate for me, what do you think about Yu Qing?"

"Your Majesty, I think Yang Yichen's military power can be removed, and the return to the court will be given a new title. Another general will lead the entire Hebei army to continue to wipe out the remaining bandits."

Yang Guang nodded and said, "It's great. This not only completes the righteousness of our monarch and ministers, but also saves my worries. Then you draft an order for me, be appointed as the Minister of Rites of Yang Yichen, return to the court to give him a title, and then take the Left Guard General Duan Da to wipe out the remaining bandits in Hebei."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Yu Shiji showed joy in secret.

Fanyang County is covered with heavy snow. Now Li Chongjiu's army is stationed in Shanggu, and Yanmen counties are spending the winter. While preparing for the war, Li Chongjiu also summarized various intelligences in recent times and planned the next plan.

Wang Xuba led an army of more than 100,000 to attack Zhuojun and seize grain for the winter. As a result, under the high walls and strong city of Zhuojun and Xue Shixiong's defence, Wang Xuba accidentally fell into a stone and died. Later, the army retreated, and Wei Daoer, the general nicknamed Li Shanfei, replaced Wang Xuba in charge of the entire army and temporarily rested in Shenze.

When Li Chongjiu learned about this, he thought that since the eleventh year of great cause, the three anti-kings in Hebei, Gao Shida and Zhang Jin, said that Wang Xuba had all died in battle. After these three people died in battle, the Hebei rebel army was really in a state of being headless.

Later, when Li Chongjiu heard that Yang Yichen had left, Emperor Yang of Sui ordered Duan Da to replace Yang Yichen's military power. Duan Da was just a brave but unscheming general. He led officers and soldiers to fight against the rebels many times, but they were defeated and were called Duan Lao by the rebels. Because he was not good at fighting, Yang Yichen took over the military power. Now that Duan Da is back in power, Li Chongjiu thought that the rebels in Hebei must have set off firecrackers at the moment, and applauded.

Together, these two news stories mean that the Hebei government army and the anti-kings were all disrupted. Gao Shida and Zhang Jin said that although Wang Xuba and the other three died, there were still 200,000 to 300,000 left. If Emperor Yang of Sui thought he was resting at ease, he would be very wrong.

Li Chongjiu thought that the three rebel kings in Hebei are dead now, and there is no leader. Yang Yichen was taken away from his post and replaced by an incompetent Duan Da. This is exactly the opportunity for Li Mi to go north to seize the capital. The opportunity is really granted by God. If he doesn't take it out of date, Li Mi missed the opportunity. However, Li Chongjiu guessed that Li Mi was still holding his troops now, and probably because of indecision between going south or north.

Li Chongjiu is too lazy to remind Li Mi now. This is granted by God. If you don’t take it out of date, you will suffer. Instead of this, Li Chongjiu might as well take the opportunity to absorb it yourself, annex the remaining troops of the Hebei Rebel Army and strengthen its power. Wang Xubaxin died, and now Wei Daoer has become the new master. At this time of change, Song Jingang’s attitude towards the new master is what Li Chongjiu is concerned about now.
