The rain and mist swayed in the mountains, and on the steep mountains, a long dragon that could not be seen from the beginning was rolling. () The Zhao army's red battle flag filled the entire mountain. The Zhao army soldiers took off their cowhide boots by the side of the road, dug out the mud in it, put them on again, and continued to trek forward. The war horses galloped in the rain and mist on the way, and from time to time there were cavalry passing by behind, shouting the names of the teams to the soldiers sitting in the forest. The soldiers continued to move forward after resting. Li Chongjiu wore a straw raincoat, sat high on the horse, and advanced with the soldiers in the rain.

The military situation is like fire. In the past few days, the news that Hulao, Yanshi, and Luokoucang were attacked by the Tang Army's South Road Corps were heard, so the Zhao army must speed up to rescue the siege. The fierce offensive of the Tang Army's South Road Army can be said to be beyond his expectations. With the assistance of Li Chongjiu on the two prefectures and troops on the front lines of Luoyang, Hulao and Xingyang, the two counties, county soldiers, township soldiers, and Wang Bo and Meng Haigong assisted the corps, a total of 70,000 to 80,000 troops were still very difficult to deal with. In particular, Li Jing's troops left Wu Pass and plagiarized Hulao's rear route, which made the Zhao army very passive.

However, even if we march through the mountains, the Zhao army was not easy. Most of Henan is now the territory of Li Tang. The Zhao army's reconnaissance cavalry must scatter far away to guard against the Tang army's attack.

However, the Tang army's troops were very afraid of the Zhao army. They just guarded the city and did not have the courage to go out of the city to attack the Zhao army.

In addition to the Tang army soldiers entrenched in various places, there are also many powerful clans along the way. Henan has always been a place where populations have gathered since the Qin and Han Dynasties. For example, Yingchuan and other counties have been large counties with a population of over one million since the Qin Dynasty. The population of Henan counties is far better than that of Guanzhong and Hebei.

During the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the strong clans and surnames in Yingchuan and other counties built their own forts. They closed the doors to isolate them from outside and guard their homes.

When Zhao Jun passed by the territory of these powerful clans and great surnames, he received unexpected welcome.

Li Chongjiu still remembers it now. At that time, the elders of the sect were holding their own war horses. Since the end of the Sui Dynasty, we have been fighting for a long time. I heard that Your Majesty was a benevolent and righteous army, breaking the city without disturbing the people, and not fighting against the people. I am all admired by my elders. I pray that Your Majesty can stay in Henan and save our people from the fire and fire.

Li Chongjiu was so moved when he heard the old man say this. This was the character he had accumulated over the years that finally broke out. The army entered Henan and was treated like this. This was finally no longer an era of origin and looking at the reading.

Ji Chuan poured Lengshui Road at Li Chongjiu. When the famous minister Zhao Guanghan signed Yingchuan County, he had suffered from the local people's high status, liked to argue and had good friends. Therefore, I think the people were welcomed because they were afraid that our army would affect them when they fought against the Tang army, so they came to sell them in advance. It was just a typical common people's wisdom.

Zhang Xuansu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't listen to Brother Ji's sorrowful words. Our army has fought south and north since Hebei, and the military discipline is strict. In terms of people's support, it is no longer inferior to Li Tang. Li Yuan is just the support of the Long family and the noble relatives of Daibei. But Hebei and Henan, most of the people in the world are on our side. Whoever is inferior or heavy is the most important of this, who can seize the world. The heroes of the world have their own answers.

Li Chongjiu nodded happily after hearing this, and immediately comforted the people who were welcomed by the road. He advanced along the way, and the people were greeting him in a constant stream. Li Chongjiu almost thought that Henan was now his territory, not Li Yuan.

Even Ji Chuan had to change his words later, looking at the people of Henan, as long as our army can defend Luoyang this time, Henan will sooner or later be the things in Li Chongjiu's pocket.

By the Yellow River, on the Hulao, heavy rain poured down! Heavy rain washed every corner of Hulao Pass, but could not wash away the mottled and dried blood on the city wall! The soldiers of Zhao stood against the wall, and many soldiers had long gone where the helmets, their faces were as black as smoke and fire. The long sword in their hands had already cut the rolled blades, and the armor was covered with unremoved arrow feathers. Since Hulao Pass was besieged by the Tang army for five days, it has been attacked by the Tang army. The storm and rain attack caused several city walls to fall for a while. If it weren't for the fact that the Zhao army's chief general Luo Shixin killed out with an iron gun and picked out several brave generals of the Tang army. Suddenly, heavy rain poured over, causing the siege of the Tang army to fail, otherwise Hulao Pass would be extremely dangerous. The soldiers of the Tang army looked at the city and were full of helplessness. "Damn it's just a little bit." Li Tang Liangzhou

The general manager Cheng Jiahui said angrily. The soldiers on the Tang army were all exhausted. Although Cheng Jia would ask them to regroup and attack the city after the rain stopped, the soldiers of the Tang army looked at the Hulao City, which had filled countless lives, and sighed. "This is Hulao Pass! There is no such easy to attack." "Yes, these Zhao troops are too tenacious. We all thought they were about to win, so they were driven down from the city." "The 300 dead soldiers of the Huofeng camp were filled in. This battle was too harmful to morale. Can our army launch such a fierce attack again?" The soldiers of the Tang army slowly moved their steps, and the morale in the entire camp was depressed. Cheng Jia was furious when he met this scene and was about to come forward to scold him. At this time, a voice came from the side: "General Liang, let's forget it." Cheng Jiahui heard the voice and turned around.

Head quickly clasped his fists and said, "Li Changshi, I almost broke through the city just now. As long as I come again, the last general can break through the Huzhu." Li Changshi, the chief of the marching, Li Jing, shook his head and said, "No need. The Zhao emperor has already appeared near Kaifeng. If our army does not leave, we will be attacked from both sides." Cheng Jiahui was stunned and said, "Why did the Zhao army come so quickly?" Li Jing said, "It should come. Try to know Sheng Yan's army who was sieging the city in the west, and retreat! There is no need to restrain it now." Speaking of this, Li Jing looked at Huzhu Pass in the heavy rain and said, "Our army has tried its best. Even if we break the Huzhu, it may not be able to reverse the situation, let alone not take it? So it is meaningless. If you add unnecessary casualties, let me give more
