Yang Su glanced at Li Mi and said decisively: "You don't have to worry about this matter. You go down immediately to prepare and take away as much food and grass as possible from Liyang City."
After a pause, Yang Su added: "In addition, one hundred thousand rogue bandits are left to guard Liyang City. We only take away 30,000 elites. At dawn tomorrow, we will leave directly to Luoyang, together with Li Zixiong's 60,000 elites and 40,000 elites in Luoyang City.
Surrender the army and assume a posture that will surely capture Luoyang."
Li Mi's heart trembled, and he quickly said: "I humbly obey my orders."
…
…
Ever since the city of Luoyang was besieged by the rebels, Yang Jian, the prince of the Sui Dynasty, had been living in panic. At first, he was running back and forth between the military camp and the city wall, but he soon discovered that he could not help at all.
, and the large number of wounded soldiers and corpses above and below the city made him feel disgusted, so he simply did not go to the city, but stayed in the East Palace to drink away his sorrows.
He was now filled with despair. He had finally become a prince and had passed the biggest hurdle towards his dream of becoming an emperor, but now everything was about to be completely shattered.
If the old thief Yang Su breaks through Luoyang City, he will definitely not let himself live. So at this time, he was terrified and helpless.
"Your Highness!"
At noon, Yang Jian was drinking and having fun with a group of beautiful maids who had been forcibly summoned from the palace. A woman's voice came from outside the door: "I have something to say to Your Highness."
Yang Jian was a little dizzy after drinking, and ignored who it was. He lay on the soft couch, with a maid feeding him wine, four maids beating his legs and pinching his arms, and in front of him were more than a dozen maids dancing for him. But he
At this time, he didn't have much thought for enjoyment. He drank sip after sip of boring wine, and then stared at the dancer in a daze, his heart still struggling in the boundless darkness.
"Your Highness, it's me!" The woman who spoke sighed and walked in from outside.
Yang Jian's body trembled, and he suddenly got up from the soft couch. He looked at the woman who walked in, with a look of deep dependence and deep admiration. He waved his hand to the palace maids and said, "All of you, please step aside!"
A group of palace maids glanced at the woman who came in, and retreated with some jealousy.
"Your Highness, Luoyang City is not that easy to be broken. You can't be decadent anymore." The woman gently sat next to Yang Jian, took the wine glass from Yang Jian's hand, and put it aside.
"Lingyun, is it true that Luoyang City will not be captured? Then Yang Su is the number one person in our Sui army. I heard that since the founding of the Sui Dynasty, he has never suffered a defeat. Now those who I sent to suppress the rebellion
The bastards led their people to surrender to Yang Su one after another, and Yang Su had an army of three hundred thousand!" Yang Jian looked extremely heavy and sighed repeatedly.
That's right, the person who came was none other than Bai Lingyun, who had a very mysterious origin next to Yang Jian.
"Your Highness, General Qu and Mr. Su Ge just sent people over to deliver the latest information. The reinforcements sent by Your Majesty have arrived." Bai Lingyun said happily.
"Lingyun! Are you telling the truth? Have the reinforcements sent by the emperor arrived? Which general brought them here? The city was surrounded by rebels. How did Su Ge Lao and General Qu get the news?
"Yang Jian said ecstatically.
Bai Lingyun held Yang Jian in her arms as she always did, and said softly: "Your Highness, here is Wang Junlin. Yang Su has already fought several times with Wang Junlin's men near Liyang City. I heard that Yang Su eats
If we suffer a big loss, I'm afraid Wang Junlin will lead his men to Luoyang soon."
"It's Wang Junlin, a thief. No wonder Yang Su suffered a big loss." Yang Xian was pleasantly surprised and thought of all the grudges between himself and Wang Junlin, filled with incomparable resentment.
Bai Lingyun's eyes flashed and she said: "Your Highness, Wang Junlin, this thief deserves to die, but now that he appears with an army, he will definitely help Your Highness deal with the rebels outside the city. You must know that Yang Su has never been defeated by Wang Junlin.
I suffered too much loss."
Yang Jian sighed, his expression gradually relaxed, and said: "That's right, the old thief Yang Su's son and two grandsons were killed by Wang Junlin, and that thief Wang Junlin has always had great powers, so Yang Su will most likely be defeated. Then we will
What to do now?”
Bai Lingyun immediately said: "Your Highness, Yang Su should have surrendered at the last moment of the defeat. He has a mortal enemy with Wang Junlin, so he will definitely not surrender to Wang Junlin, but to His Highness. If His Highness can make good use of this opportunity,
With this opportunity, most of Wang Junlin's achievements in countering the rebellion can be taken from His Highness. This will not only offset His Highness's previous fault of forcing some of the noble family members to surrender to Yang Su, but will also completely consolidate His Highness's position in His Majesty's heart.
He took the position of the East Palace."
Yang Jian suddenly said excitedly: "Lingyun, please tell me quickly, what should I do to seize most of Wang Junlin's great achievements in suppressing the rebellion?"
Bai Lingyun looked solemn and said: "This matter is actually simple to say. As long as His Highness goes out of the city to accept Yang Su's surrender in person, the moment Yang Su kneels at His Highness's feet, in full view of the public, everyone will only say that he is Your Highness.
Let Yang Su surrender and destroy the rebels."
Yang Jian had no doubt about the intentions of Bai Lingyun's words. He hugged Bai Lingyun tightly in his arms with joy and said affectionately: "You are the only one in the world who is good to me. You are better to me than your father and mother."
It’s even better.”
As he spoke, Yang Jian's breathing gradually became faster, his eyes were full of lust, and he couldn't help but began to take off Lingyun's clothes crazily, stripping off the latter's clothes in twos and twos, and an extremely beautiful body like white jade appeared in front of her.
In front of Yang Jian, the latter let out a seductive moan and murmured: "Your Highness..."
Yang Jian took off his clothes as quickly as possible and threw himself on Bai Lingyun...

Wang Junlin rested for a day at the mountain pass. After learning that Yang Su was directly leading the elite back to Luoyang, he abandoned Liyang City and led the army straight to Luoyang.
On the same day, he led his army to Heyang Ferry and confronted a rebel army left here by Yang Su across the river.
The small naval warships led by Huang Dongqiu sailed upstream. The vanguard had already reached Chanyuan and jumped over Liyang. Cooperating with the army led by Wang Junlin, they easily built a pontoon bridge and crossed the Yellow River, defeating the enemy on the other side of the river. The next step was to
Crossing the Henan River and advancing southward, the troops were directed towards Luoyang.
After the battle with Li Mi a few days ago, Wang Junlin was very clear about the combat power of Yang Su's elite and the rogue bandits. He was very confident about the trip to Luoyang. Now he was worried that Yang Su would abandon Luoyang and directly
If you lead the army to retreat, the fight will be protracted.
In any case, Yang Su has been defeated. Together with the rogue bandits and elites, he mobilized nearly 200,000 troops. He failed to defeat the Far Eastern Army led by Wang Junlin as expected, and also caused the rogue bandits under his command to lose more than 100,000 people, and other rogue bandits even more
They were discouraged, and the most important thing was the loss of more than 30,000 elite soldiers.
In Wang Junlin's view, as long as he leads people to capture Jijun not far away and Hulao Pass and Xingyang City on the east side of Luoyang, Yang Su will undoubtedly be defeated. It is just a siege battle. Even if they attack the city
A sharp weapon, but there will still be many casualties.
Therefore, Wang Junlin did not want to give the enemy more time to prepare, so he accelerated towards Jijun along the way.
Yang Su sent Li Mi and Wang Bodang to lead 20,000 cavalry and 70,000 bandits to ambush on the road in an attempt to surprise Wang Junlin. However, they were discovered by spies from the Military Intelligence Agency in advance and were almost bitten by Wang Junlin's men.
The two sides fought seven times in a day, and bloodstains spread from Tongshan, thirty miles away, to the county guarded by Jijun. Li Mi and Wang Bodang tried to lead people to retreat into the county and hold on. Unexpectedly, some experts from the Military Intelligence Bureau had already sneaked into the city.
A sneak attack opened the city gate, and Wang Junlin led the army to rush into the city. The two sides fought in the streets. Li Mi and Wang Bodang were defeated again and had to retreat to Ji County Ferry.
Wang Junlin was unyielding when he gained the upper hand. On the one hand, he sent troops and horses to capture the two small towns of Chaoge and Suixing. On the other hand, he personally led a large army to pursue the enemy. The two sides fought for the third time at the ferry of Ji County. Li Mi imitated the ancients and formed an array with his back against the water, hoping that his soldiers would be killed.
They understand the principle of risking death to survive, but the bandits who have experienced several consecutive defeats are unwilling to die. As soon as the two sides fight, they flee along the river bank.
In an instant, all the elite troops around Li Mi and Wang Bodang were scattered by the bandits. They could not organize effective resistance at all, so they had to lead the elite troops to retreat.
After crossing the branch of the Yellow River, Li Mi and Wang Bodang led the army to rush all the way, abandoning the three cities of Lingchang, Suanzao and Yuanwu that were not easy to defend, and gathered all the soldiers and horses on the south bank to join Xingyang and Gu Jue.
It was just that they had just established a foothold in Xingyang City, and Wang Junlin led his army to catch up again. The two sides had another fierce battle under Xingyang City. When the outcome was hard to decide, Wang Junlin relied on the sharpness of grenades and crossbows and the powerful combat power.
, forcefully captured the east and north city gates, forcing Li Mi and Wang Bodang to abandon the city and lead the remaining soldiers towards Hulao Pass.
Hulao Pass is the last barrier on the east side of Luoyang. Without this pass, Wang Junlin can lead his army to look directly at Luoyang, the capital.
Li Mi was so anxious that he sent a message to all the bandits and bandits near Luoyang who had surrendered to Yang Su to come and help in the battle. However, these bandits had already been killed by Wang Junlin, and they were afraid of Wang Junlin's evil reputation and did not dare to bring anyone to help in the fight.
.
Li Mi thought that the situation at hand was developing completely according to the dangerous plan of Duke Chu. However, considering the danger of that plan, he still wanted to consume and even defeat Wang Junlin as much as possible on the battlefield, but he did not wait for him and Wang Bodang to discuss how to defend Hulao.
Pass, Wang Junlin asked Shen Guoer to sneak into Hulao Pass at night and secretly met with Yu Rou, the son of Yu Shiji, who had surrendered to Yang Su before. The latter suddenly surrendered to the enemy in the middle of the night and opened the gate of Hulao Pass in the middle of the night.
Li Mi and Wang Bodang were caught off guard and hurriedly led their men to flee towards Luoyang. In this way, Hulao Pass, known as the most powerful pass in the world, was captured by Wang Junlin with almost no effort.
After capturing Hulao Pass, Wang Junlin did not rush to lead the army to Luoyang City. Instead, he waited for news from Luoyang City while letting the army rest and recuperate.
These days, the soldiers of the Far East Army traveled thousands of miles by water and land, and then fought for more than a month, with little rest in between. The men and horses were exhausted, and their bodies and spirits were too much. They had become
