Using four thousand cavalry from afar to attack the Wagang Army, which totaled more than 300,000 people. Only a madman would do this. Not only Wang Xuba, Guo Fang and others who later joined the Boling Army were shocked by Li Xu's order.
Stunned, even Zhang Jiang and Zhou Daniu, the old subordinates who had followed Li Xu for many years, suspected that their coach had not thought deeply when issuing the order. But after seeing Li Xu's confident smile, everyone still carried it out to the letter.
One early morning two days after this order, they, led by a guide who had raised a lot of money, attacked the lair of Wagang Army General Li Gongyi, defeated him, and beheaded nearly 5,000 people.
"Daniu, Ming Jin withdraws his troops, and asks Zhang Jiang and Wang Junkuo to withdraw as soon as possible, and Guo Duwei, shoot a letter into the village on the top of the mountain, and order the old, weak, sick and disabled in the village to open their doors and surrender! Tell them that if within an hour
If you don't open the gate of the village, I will set the mountain on fire!" Li Xu leaned over and grabbed a handful of hay to wipe the blood off the black knife, and shouted an order. At this moment, his figure looked very burly, and the morning sunlight shone through his helmet.
The light shines obliquely, and the whole body is reflected as if there is a layer of mist lingering on the black armor.
"Yes!" Zhou Daniu and Guo Fang immediately got on their horses and went to carry out their respective tasks. No matter how dissatisfied they were with Li Xu's "chaos" before the war, at this time, in addition to admiration, they also admired the generals who thought Li Xu's actions were too much.
Crazy, the Wagang Army also did not expect that General Li would dare to attack them rashly before getting in touch with other officers and soldiers.
The unlucky Wagang thief Li Gongyi's lair had been raided by Li Xu last time. However, this man was very nostalgic. The re-established old camp was only separated from the original old camp by a hill. The Boling Army found him easily under the leadership of the guide.
’s nest and instantly destroyed its four fortresses at the foot of the mountain.
When the news reached the mountain, Thief Li didn't believe that the person who came was Li Xu. He cursed and led thousands of sleepy elites down the mountain for revenge. The two sides once again decided the winner within a stick of incense. Li Gongyi left the old, weak, sick and disabled in his lair.
With gold and silver so soft, they were abandoned. The "best soldiers in hundreds of battles" under his command were either killed by the formation, or abandoned their weapons and surrendered. Less than one tenth of them slipped through the net.
"Why don't you allow me to chase Li Gongyi? Are you still planning to surrender him?" After a while, Wang Junkuo ran back with a long-handled sword more than half a foot wide. While breathing, he asked him more and more questions.
The more I like fighting under Li Xu, it is as intoxicating as drinking. Either I don't take action, or I kill with one strike, without any sloppiness.
"He is very familiar with the terrain in this area. If he is determined to escape, we will not be able to catch up with him. Besides, we have to leave someone to report to Li Mi, tell him that the brothers are coming, and let him wait carefully!" Li Xu laughed!
laugh, explain
The wind in early spring is still a bit cold, but it makes people very energetic. Everywhere in the fields, there are cavalry driving away captives. They proudly hold their horizontal swords, and each person has two or three minions in front of their horses.
Their shoulders were as broad as theirs, and their stature was as tall as theirs, but they were all dejected and did not dare to look them in the eye.
"Tell Li Mi that we are coming? The general said that he wants to tell Li Mi that we are coming!" Wang Junkuo was so angry at Li Xu's words that he waved his knife and shouted loudly to the brothers who were gathering back one after another, "I'm coming!" "I'm coming!"
I'm going to chop off Li Laizi's other leg!" Countless horizontal knives stretched into the air, reflecting countless rays of bright sunlight.
"Junkuo, I'll give you a task!" Li Xu smiled and ordered
"No matter what the wind or rain, I will never say goodbye!" Wang Junkuo held a knife in both hands and sat upright on the horse.
"Take your brothers and go with Guo Fang to search Li Gongyi's lair to keep the prisoners as coolies, move all the captured materials back to Yongqiu, and then set fire to this stockade. I want to watch from twenty miles away.
Come here to the thick smoke!" Li Xu nodded and ordered with great trust
"My lord ordered me to take advantage of others. I've done this before! I'm good at it!" Wang Junkuo opened his mouth and smiled like a child who just picked up a candy man.
"It's not about taking advantage of others. Since the gold and silver in the village are so valuable, we will leave all the rice, grains and other things that are difficult to take away with the brothers and distribute them directly to the refugees in Yongqiu City." Li Xu smiled and added
"Use Li Gongyi's capital to build momentum for us, okay, I promise to do a great job!" Wang Junkuo put away his smile and solemnly promised, "If we fight two more battles like this, the people's hearts will all return to the general." He thought to himself, and at the same time
Command yourself to keep these methods firmly in mind
"General Wang, take your three hundred brothers and head northwest immediately, along the canal, and build up as much momentum as you can." Li Xu watched Wang Junkuo leave, and then turned to another capable subordinate, "When you encounter a small group of Wagang troops,
If you encounter a large group of Wagang troops, you will quickly retreat to Yongqiu City and wait for my next order in the city!" "The general will understand!" Wang Xuba took the command arrow from the flag officer.
Turning to leave, he had already learned from local officials that he had been promoted to the rank of General Yingyang by the imperial court. This was the largest official family of the old Wang family in the past three hundred years. Men, women, old and young, they would definitely look at him more than others in the future.
When he proclaimed himself King of Yan, he envied him a lot. Wang Xuba was a man who knew how to be grateful. He understood that without Li Xu, he would not have everything he has now, so no matter what the other party ordered, he would carry it out to the letter.
"Soon Shubao and Shixin will hear the news that I have led people to Yongqiu!" Seeing Wang Xuba leading people away, Li Xu smiled and wanted to leave the days of fighting side by side with Qin and Luo.
He has a lot of memories, so he very much hopes to join hands with his two friends again. If the battle near Luoyang can be successfully ended, he also plans to send a letter to the court, recommending Qin Shubao and Luo Shixin to his command as generals. Both of them are capable of acting alone.
With their talents, the strength of the Boling Army will become much stronger.
"Is Lang Jun going to send a message to Xingyang so that everyone can be prepared?" At some point, Erya ran to Li Xu's side and asked in a low voice.
"Why are you running here? Be careful of getting hurt!" Li Xu was startled and asked in surprise
"I like to see you look awesome!" Erya could hear the eagerness in her husband's words. She rolled her eyes slightly and replied with a smile. To cover up her bulging belly, she wrapped another brocade robe around her leather armor.
The bright brocade color reflects the satisfied smile, which looks very charming.
"What's there to see? Go back to camp quickly. The battlefield is in a mess, and your body isn't as bright as before!" Li Xu had no choice but to turn his scolding tone to begging, "The days ahead are long, and you won't be tired of looking at them."
When the time comes, I’ll send someone to take you back and stop making trouble here!”
"I'm not making trouble, I want our children to see how you command Ruoding!" Erya put away her smile, her face full of solemnity. "In the future, he will be like you, holding a spear in an army..." Home is together.

"I hope he never touches a knife in this life!" Li Xu sighed softly and replied
The two stood side by side, watching the soldiers slowly move closer to the central army. Some brothers already knew Erya's identity, and ran past her with a smile, their eyes full of envy and admiration. Some brothers were still unclear, but saw a
The guard in brocade robes immediately stood beside his general. He couldn't help but take a few more glances, and thought to himself: "This guard is so delicate, how come he looks like a girl..."
"When I followed my father to rob the house, I was looking forward to the day when I would lead a team and attack immediately!" Seeing that Xuzi no longer chased him away, Shi Lan smiled and whispered, "So
Although my martial arts skills are not as good as those of Qi'er, I have put in a lot of effort, and ordinary people may not be my opponents!"
"I wonder who almost couldn't sit in the saddle a few months ago?!" Li Xu smiled and shook his head, not believing his wife's boast at all.
"Hasn't it been a long time since I got on my horse?" Erya blushed and said angrily, "Don't laugh at me, I'm telling the truth!"
"Okay, the truth, the truth!" Li Xu laughed again and replied helplessly.
"It's true, Langjun, don't believe it!" Erya put away her smile again and solemnly explained, "I not only learned how to ride a horse, how to use a sword, but also how to lead a group of people. Every time I conquered a fort,
My father would teach me step by step how to allocate the lottery, saying that only by letting everyone who contributes have the lottery can we win people's hearts together, otherwise the team won't last long with just a few big words!"
"Yes, we either have the same heart or the same interests, otherwise it will be difficult for everyone to work together!" Although Li Xu has killed many bandits in recent years, he does not have much contempt for the enemy. After thinking about it, he followed Erya's words.
answer
"Do you think General Qin Shubao and you are of the same mind or have the same interests?" Shi Lan quickly turned to the topic and asked in a low voice.
"The three of us..." Li Xu was a little annoyed, and his voice suddenly rose. But only halfway through his words, he realized that he had lost his composure, and suppressed his anger and changed his tone to a calm one.
He, Qin Shubao, and Luo Shixin were close friends in life and death. But after so many years of fighting, what did Qin and Luo get? For a moment, he remembered Luo Shixin's angry look after the Battle of Yanmen Pass. He had been promoted from general to general.
General, but Qin and Luo's official positions have always been limited to the fourth-grade local military positions. This result is unfair, indeed very unfair.
"The two of them will definitely come to join me!" After a while, Li Xu answered with an extremely certain tone. He thought he should be very sure of this, but deep down, he felt vaguely very uneasy, like walking alone.
On the road at night, a vicious wolf stared at my throat. I felt very panicked and lonely.
He was very familiar with this uneasy feeling. Li Xu remembered that it happened once when he first faced Ashina Choyu on the grassland, and experienced it the second time when he faced Yuwen Shu under Xingyang City.
Now, it appeared for the third time, much stronger than the first two times! But except for the cheerful soldiers, there was no stranger
He frowned and placed his palm on the handle of the knife warily.
