Yuanlang miscalculated a little bit, Zhang Zhenzhou's troops were absolutely not satisfied and only attacked the North City. In Xiao Buyi's eyes, he should have ended long ago.

The King of Xiliang has an order and will kill Xu Yuanlang!

When the King of Xiliang issued a killing order, Zhang Zhenzhou would use twelve points of force to execute it. Sometimes, killing one person is even more difficult than breaking the city. Xu Yuanlang is cunning and has excellent martial arts skills, so it is not easy to kill him.

Although Liu Shiche vowed that he would definitely be able to bring Xu Yuanlang's head with his accomplices, Zhang Zhenzhou did not put the bet entirely on him. Zhang Zhenzhou did not believe that Liu Shiche would do his best, he just liked to act steadily.

It is better to seek oneself than to seek others. Never put your hopes in the hands of others. This is Zhang Zhenzhou's principle of doing things. Zhang Zhenzhou may not be as good as Li Jing, or as good as Xiao Buyi, but Zhang Zhenzhou has an advantage that few people can match, that is, his failure to seek luck.

He will never output the battle that should be won!

Zhang Zhenzhou's killing situation is not in the city, but outside the city.

The main attack in the north of the city, the army was built in heavy defenses in the west, and there were ambushes in the south and east of the city. Zhang Zhenzhou and Cheng Yaojin had studied for a long time. Xu Yuanlang had lost his military spirit after Liu Shiche's rebellion, and no one would follow him. The two also knew that Xu Yuanlang had always had a relationship with the King of Liaodong. Zhang Zhenzhou judged that as long as Xu Yuanlang did not die, he would probably flee east and turn north. Cheng Yaojin agreed and set up an ambush in the east early.

Xu Yuanlang plunged into Cheng Yaojin's ambush circle, and it was already a huge difficulty to get out.

Xu Yuanlang had only a dozen people followed, but Cheng Yaojin's ambush here could be caught even dozens of tigers. Xu Yuanlang was caught, and the soldiers rushed, and the father and son separated and separated the soldiers.

Although Gu Zhong was brave, he stabbed guns from all directions, and they were irresistible. After killing several soldiers, he was shot several times and killed them with a loud shout, but he still stood still.

Xu Yuanlang has been shrouded in deep sorrow. Gu Zhong is his subordinate and a person in the Tao. His feelings for Gu Zhongdi are hard to express. Gu Zhongdi's death, coupled with himself and his son, does it mean that Taiping Dao has finally come to an end today?

He was unwilling to give up, and he broke his spear. He pulled out his single sword again. He broke his single sword again. He could only use his fist and his fist to blood! He suffered many injuries, but he still fought like a trapped beast and a tiger. He didn't want to give up. But although his martial arts skills were high, how could he kill and retreat like a tide and endless soldiers?

Xu Chang was already scared and his legs were weak.

He is a member of the Fire Sect. He has been under the protection of his father all his life. Although he has been fighting for so long, he can be said to be in danger. At this time, all directions are suddenly filled with enemies of swords and guns. He relies on the terrain to resist. He is already covered in blood and sweat. He shouted: "Dad to save me!"

In the city, Xu Yuanlang saved him once. In this world, Daddy kept patching his mistakes and had no complaints. At the last moment, he was still asking for help from Daddy.

Many people still think of their parents when they are in the last resort when they are strong.

There was blood and tears in Xu Yuanlang's eyes, and he had no choice. Looking at the distant moon in front of the forest, Cheng Yaojin looked away in distantly. Xu Yuanlang suddenly shouted angrily, jumped high, and actually stepped on a long spear and iron shield, and rushed towards Cheng Yaojin!

Only by catching Cheng Yaojin can you live and yourself and your son!

This idea made Xu Yuanlang burst out with all his potential.

His martial arts were not bad, but suddenly, like lightning and thunder, the soldiers actually let him break out of the siege. At this time, it was Xu Yuanlang's best chance to break out! As long as he dived into the darkness, his hope of escaping would be much greater.

But he doesn't want to leave, he can't leave, and he won't leave!

Because his son is still trapped, because his son is still waiting for him to save him. He has only this son. Even if he escapes his life and dies, what hope does he have to live?

So he didn't choose to escape, so he chose to capture Cheng Yaojin.

At a distance of more than ten feet, he ran wildly, and the wind cut his face, like an assassin who had gone before Yishui and never returned! He did not pay attention. The soldiers behind him did not pursue him, and began to retreat and disperse. He did not notice that dozens of soldiers rushed out from behind Cheng Yaojin, holding something like a crossbow in his hands.

There is only Cheng Yaojin in his eyes.

In fact, even if he noticed these things and knew that there was a trap in front of him, he had no choice. Heroes and heroes had something in common, that is, they could only walk the path they chose in the end!

Even if that's a dead end!

When Cheng Yaojin saw Xu Yuanlang rushing, he didn't move. His face turned cold as ice. He waved the axe in his hand and clearly spit out a word, "Cum!"

There were more than a dozen crossbow machines and hundreds of iron arrows, and the target was one person. With a slight sound of "kick", in an instant, a sound of breaking through the air that shocked the distant mountains and forests.

Xu Chang's eyes were red and he screamed: "Dad!"

The moonlight at that moment seemed to be red, and the cold wind at that moment was particularly bitter.

Dozens of arrows in Xu Yuanlang's body were already beaten into a sieve. After the iron arrows, Xu Yuanlang felt the coldness of the military force, the deep coldness of his son's call sounded far away. At the last moment when he slowly fell to the ground, a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He struggled for a lifetime, with victory and defeat rising and falling, like duckweed in the water. In the end, it was just a waste...

**

Seeing his father's tragic death, Xu Chang lost the courage to fight in the end. He fell down stumblingly. When he saw a spear coming, he rolled hard and shouted: "Wait, I have a secret!"

The spear stopped in front of him, and the sword light disappeared. The soldier looked coldly at the last alive enemy without saying a word.

The general has an order, and he will never kill Xu Chang before Xu Yuanlang dies! Even if you don’t have to kill Xu, you can just trap him.

And the rest of the people will be killed without any worries.

If it weren't for the general's words, ten Xu Changs would have been killed long ago.

This itself is also a strategy. When capturing a beast, some hunters like to catch the weak cubs so that the beasts cannot leave immediately. This is how they have the opportunity to catch the ferocious beasts. Cheng Yaojin's move is exactly the same.

The horse slowly came forward, Cheng Yaojin waved his hand and the soldiers tied Xu Chang up in big flowers. The meaning of binding was of course not to kill for the time being. If he cut it with one knife, there would be no need to be such a problem.

When Xu Chang thought of this, he felt relieved. When his father died, he definitely hoped that he would live well. Xu Chang thought so. No matter how wronged he was, he would have to live. He lost his fighting spirit and was at the critical moment of life and death. For some reason, his desire to survive became stronger.

Instructing the soldiers to retreat, Cheng Yaojin asked softly, "What secret do you have to tell me?"

It’s not a mistake to listen to some secrets. Everyone has a curiosity. Cheng Yaojin has made up his mind. After hearing the secret, he killed Xu Chang with an axe. The King of Xiliang has an order and will kill Xu Yuanlang, but he doesn’t want to cause more trouble. Xu Yuanlang must die. Of course, Xu Chang is like a mustard of grass and can be dealt with at will.

Those who die in chaos will have different opinions about surrendering and killing, and Cheng Yaojin has a deep understanding of this.

Xu Chang's mind

Bai, what secret does he have to exchange for his life? He seems to have nothing!

"I am from the Fire Sect of Taiping Dao, and my father is from the General's Sect!"

Cheng Yaojin sighed, "The remnants of Taiping, I'm not willing to die." He had already waved his axe and wanted to chop it down with an axe. Xu Chang shouted anxiously: "Luo Shixin is also a member of the general!"

Xu Chang was already mentally collapsed, and this kind of immortality was even more terrifying than dying immediately. The more anxious Cheng Yaojin was, the more precious he felt that life was. He did not expect that his secret would cause death to kill him. In desperation, he spoke without saying anything and even told Luo Shixin's secret again.

In Xu Chang's heart, this was not a secret at all, but he had nothing to say. But the iron axe with a flashing cold light stopped in mid-air, and after a while, it slowly fell.

Cheng Yaojin's eyes showed a deep look, "Do you say Luo Shixin is a member of the Taiping Dao General?" He suddenly realized and felt a moment ago. He betrayed Zhang Xutuo because he could not see a way out and did not want to die with Zhang Xutuo. Then he left. Qin Shubao betrayed Zhang Xutuo because he was deceived by Li Mi in order to seek his mother's life. However, Cheng Yaojin had never understood why Luo Shixin betrayed and why he was heartbroken after betrayal, but now, he seemed to understand something.

"General Cheng..." Xu Chang racked his brains and couldn't think of any bargaining chips to survive. He had long forgotten the revenge of killing his father, and only thought about how he could survive. Seeing that Cheng Yaojin was very interested in Luo Shixin, he remembered that they were once accomplices. Without waiting for Cheng Yaojin's order, he had already poured beans into bamboo tubes, and he told him about seeing Luo Shixin.

Cheng Yaojin finally nodded, "I won't kill you."

Xu Chang said hurriedly: "General Cheng, you are really my reborn parents."

When Cheng Yaojin saw Xu Chang bowing and felt a little disgusted, he thought of himself and sighed in his heart, feeling that Xu Chang was also understandable.

After pondering for a moment, Cheng Yaojin said: "You are going to survive now, and the decision is not up to me."

Xu Chang said in a daze: "Who is that?"

Cheng Yaojin said in a deep voice: "If you want to survive, just tell us what happened today to the King of Xiliang. Remember, to tell the truth, whether the King of Xiliang can spare your life depends on your luck."

Xu Chang nodded repeatedly, and Cheng Yaojin asked his subordinates to send Xu Chang to the Eastern Capital. Xu Chang had been frightened and frightened. He left so far, and he could still hear his begging.

Cheng Yaojin walked to Xu Yuanlang and saw that he was full of anger and blood had flowed out, but his fists were still tight and his bones were hard. He sighed softly: "This is also a man, but unfortunately he doesn't know the current affairs. The person came, cut off his head and sent it to Dongdu, and his body... will be buried."

As he turned over the horse, Cheng Yaojin rode his horse back and couldn't help but look back. The waning moon was in the sky, and the distant sky was deep and hopeless. It seemed to have painted the last sad stroke for Xu Yuanlang's death...

…

Xiao Buyi was in Dongdu and immediately received the news of Xu Yuanlang's death, and also spread the news throughout the court.

The Dongdu celebrated, and the people ran around and told each other, and were ecstatic.

The King of Xiliang led them to win another battle. They only hoped that the war would end soon and the unification would be restored as soon as possible. Whether it was aristocratic, upstart, merchants or the people, they all hoped that the Kaihuang rule of Emperor Wen would come again.

Xiao Buyi likes to write down bad news, and he also wants to exaggerate the good news. Xiao Buyi likes to create momentum and also likes to take advantage of the situation. He is more accustomed to following the trend.

Although Li Mi died early, Xiao Buyi never let the people of Dongdu relax their vigilance. He wanted the people of Dongdu to know that the King of Xiliang is their hope for peace, and he also wanted the people of Dongdu to know that the war has not ended yet, and everyone must do their best. He also hoped that these people knew that peace was difficult and that what was not easy to obtain would be cherished!

He will fight with Guanzhong now!

Although Xu Yuanlang is not as powerful as Li Mi and Dou Jiande, he is a bandit. He has been fighting with the imperial court for many years, and this time he was executed is a great pleasure.

Xiao Buyi hung his head on the city gate for three days to serve as a warning to you. The most important point of this victory was that after Xu Yuanlang's death, there were no more people in Shandong to resist the expansion of the Western Liang Iron Cavalry.

Originally, after Dou Jiande destroyed Meng Haigong, he had already obtained most of the land in Shandong, but after Dou Jiande's water game failed, it completely retreated, and reached the north of the Yellow River, and only Li Yang was temporarily used as the front line to defend Xiao Buyi. In this way, Xu Yuanlang in Shandong was already alone. Xiao Buyi, who took advantage of the internal strife in Rencheng, easily ambushed Xu Yuanlang, and the Xu family army collapsed in an instant. Although Langya still had the power of the Xu family army, Xu Yuanlang died and Xu Chang was captured. The enemy had no leader. The ones fled and the ones surrendered.

Xiao Buyi immediately ordered Zhang Zhenzhou and Cheng Yaojin to advance eastward, and to regain Lu County, Langya, Beihai, Gaomi and other counties as soon as possible, eliminate the remnants of resistance, and appease the people there.

This time, his power was to expand to Donglai County, the easternmost territory of the Great Sui Dynasty. Since then, all the territory of the Great Sui Dynasty, except for Hebei, Guanzhong and Wang Shichong from Jiangdu, and Shen Faxing from Huainan, have been criticized by him!

When playing chess game today, he is still missing a triangle. His field is unprecedentedly powerful at this moment. Yang Guang's willful and chaotic country has been calmed down one by one by one by him.

Wang Shichong and Shen Faxing were no longer afraid. It would be a matter of time before Li Jing was in charge and dealing with them. If Hebei could be settled again, Xiao Buyi would completely form a siege against Guanzhong.

From the perspective of terrain, Guanzhong and Hebei can be said to be a four-blocked area, but the shielding of the four-blocked area in Hebei is much weaker than that of Guanzhong.

There are Qinling Mountains in the south, Longshan Mountains, Luliang Mountains and other shields in the north. There are Longshan Mountains in the west and Yellow Rivers in the east. It can be said to be a natural defense place. Li Yuan can use the least force to do the biggest things. However, the Si Pass in Hebei is the Taihang Mountains to the west, the seas to the east, the Yanshan Mountains to the north, and the hills to the south.

These natural defenses are much inferior to Guanzhong. Not to mention that Yanshan was originally Luo Yi's defense line, not the barrier of the Hebei army. Just talking about Shandong's recovery, the areas in the south of Hebei can be said to be under the attack of Xiao Buyi. Xiao Buyi is currently in a stalemate with Dou Jiande in Liyang. If Li Yang is broken, the Xiliang army can join forces with Shandong's army, and march straight into Hebei and attack the Hebei army in a comprehensive manner.

It’s not that Dou Jiande didn’t know that Shandong is important to Hebei, but he was helpless to give up. The simplest reason is that he didn’t have so many people to guard him. Compared with the millions of soldiers in Dongdu, the more than 100,000 troops left in his hands can be said to be pitiful.

Xiao Buyi did not suddenly launch a heavy army to attack Hebei in full swing. In addition to lacking time, there is another very important reason. He wanted to drag the Guanzhong army out of Guanzhong and fight decisively in Hebei.

Dou Jiande is at the end of his strength, but the Hebei army's confidence in defending their homes to the death cannot be slighted. Xiao Buyi does not want to fight for both losses, so that Li Yuan can reap the benefits of the fisherman. He knows that Yang Shanhui and Pei Ju are in the Hebei army, so he is even happier. Pei Ju and Yang Shanhui are indeed amazing, but these two people will never be with Dou Jiande.

.Dou Jiande took them in, undoubtedly to be a scam with the tiger. He now needs to fight and then take them seriously.

The terrain of Guanzhong is dangerous, but it is poor and poor. Long-term consumption is definitely not as good as Xiao Buyi's mountains and rivers. Xiao Buyi and Li Jing judged that Li Yuan was cunning and would never sit and watch Xiao Buyi take over Hebei, and form a turtle in Guanzhong. Now is the best opportunity to enter Guanzhong, and Li Yuan will never miss it.

Xiao Buyi gave Li Yuan this opportunity.

While giving others a chance, you are actually giving yourself a chance!

In the decisive battle of Hebei, we must first consume the living power of the Tang army to the greatest extent, just like dealing with Dou Jiande. Then we will fight against Hedong and Guanzhong, and we will beat the world in one fell swoop. This is the unified strategy set by Xiao Buyi, Li Jing and Xu Shiji from the beginning.

Although he had ordered all the land in Shandong to be captured, heavy troops besieged Liyang, and was ready to attack Hebei at any time, Xiao Buyi still lacked an opportunity. Without the opportunity, he could only wait in order to avoid too much consumption, but he never expected that the opportunity would be a trivial little man.
