At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Gao Bufan shook his head, and said earnestly: "It's not that my luck is against the sky, but that you have gone astray, and so is your father, who is too keen on playing tricks and tricks, thinking that he can manipulate everyone in the world , and do things unscrupulously, without any bottom line, in the end they will only betray their relatives and be spurned by the world. It must be known that the benevolent is invincible, and the one who wins the hearts of the people wins the world. of?"

Li Xuanba coughed lightly twice and said: "Brother Changqing has not yet won the world, and he preached to his subordinates as a victor, it is too early to say."

After Li Xuanba finished speaking, he twisted his neck, and made a soft "bang", and then his bones cracked like popping beans, and his whole body "swelled" several times at a speed visible to the naked eye. The skinny figure suddenly became stronger, and even the height increased by half a head. Although the cheeks still looked thin, the energy of the whole person changed drastically, and there was no trace of exhaustion. look?

Both Chai Shao and Ma Sanbao were stunned, but Gao Bufan was not surprised at all, because his internal skills have reached their level, and his body's flexibility is far beyond that of ordinary people. It is actually not difficult to change his body shape for a short time.

"Is this the real you?" Gao Bufan asked.

Li Xuanba clenched his right hand to his lips and coughed lightly twice, then asked, "Brother Changqing, you haven't been disappointed, have you?"

Gao Bufan shook his head: "Actually, I still like your original appearance. Although you are ruined, you are unyielding. You are proud of the snow and frost, which makes you heartbroken. However, when Li Tang's officials go to court, I am afraid that they don't want to see you sitting on the dragon chair. The one above is sick and wilting like a skeleton, well, your face is still thin, with a little bit of flesh missing."

Li Xuanba smiled lightly and said: "As long as I kill you, I will have no worries, my heart will become fat naturally, and the flesh on my face will grow." After speaking, a black light flashed in his hand, and he suddenly had a short blade.

Gao Bufan sighed and said: "Could it be that brother Xuan Ba ​​thought that if you kill me, you can win the world?"

Li Xuanba said confidently: "Except Brother Changqing, who else is qualified to compete with me for the world?"

Gao Bufan stood with his sword horizontally, like standing on the edge of a mountain, looking at him with awe-inspiring aura and power, he seemed to be no different than the bearded man, Li Xuanba couldn't help being even more startled when he saw this.

Li Shentong has [-] Tang troops under his command, confronting Li Jing across the Yellow River. With the help of natural dangers, he could barely support it. However, when Tongguan was broken, Pei Xingyan led [-] Qi troops to cross the Weihe River and come from the rear. How could Li Shentong stand up? , and the [-] Tang army under his command was still a remnant army with low morale, so there was no need to fight at all, and the whole line was defeated as soon as it came into contact.

Gao Bufan's figure hardly stopped, he jumped between the houses, and flew up to the West Tower of Tongguan City after a dozen or so rises, but Li Xuanba had disappeared into the darkness outside the tower.

In the past, Gao Bufan felt that Li Xuanba's speed was unbelievably fast, but now, in his eyes, Li Xuanba's speed was much slower. He cut off one of Li Xuanba's sleeves after only a dozen moves. piece.

A cold light flashed in Li Xuanba's eyes, he laughed loudly and said, "Brother Changqing, don't you think you are too selfish?"

There is no doubt that Gao Bufan has indeed become stronger. Since he reconciled with Yang Qingruo and Bai Yunshang respectively, he has not only made up for the shortcomings in his skills, but his strength has also improved by leaps and bounds. It is not a problem to travel thousands of miles in the next year.

Gao Bufan's figure flashed repeatedly, as if he was strolling in a garden, he drew out the long knife, and slashed out with a single stroke. The piercing light of the knife pierced the sky like lightning, forcing Li Xuanba back instantly.

Gao Bufan shook his head and said: "No, don't get me wrong, I mean that you, Li Xuanba, are not qualified to be compared with me. You, Li Xuanba, are at best an excellent killer, and you are still far behind me."

Gao Bufan said earnestly: "It's not that I, Gao Changqing, am self-righteous. I'm just stating a fact. Daqi Jiangshan was brought down by me alone. The army is strong, the country is powerful, the generals are like clouds, the advisers are like stars, and they are all loyal to me, even if I die in battle. Now, they will still shed their blood for Da Qi Jiangshan. And you Li Xuanba, even if Li Tang Jiangshan is temporarily stolen by you, how many civil and military men in the Manchu Dynasty will sincerely loyal to you, even if it is the Shuiyue Tower under the mirror Killer, I'm afraid he won't give up on you.

Gao Bufan let out a long cry, raised his breath and lightened his body, and chased after him, but two men in black wearing grimace masks rushed out from the side, blocking his way.

Soon, the news of the fall of Tongguan spread. The entire Guanzhong was shaken, and Chang'an City, which was the epicenter, was even more boiling. People with conditions fled with their families and mouths, because the Qi army was about to approach the city soon. A sword has no eyes, once a war breaks out, how many people will die in the city.

Li Shentong led more than [-] remnants of the army and hurriedly retreated to the Chaoyi, while Li Jing took the opportunity to lead the army across the Yellow River and galloped across the Weibei Plain. , approaching Xianyang.

The last time he narrowly escaped death in the treasure cave under the cliff of Lingyun Temple, he saved his life by relying on the medicine woman's same life Gu. After that, he practiced hard while recuperating his injuries. With the help of Yao Nu, his cultivation has improved a lot, so just now he was full of confidence, thinking that he could kill Gao Bufan, but when they fought against each other suddenly, Li Xuanba was shocked to find that Gao Bufan's strength had also become stronger Not only is he stronger, but he is not even a little bit stronger, he might already be comparable to Zhang Zhongjian, the bearded man.

Ever since, with a wave of his hand, Gao Bufan dispatched Chai Shao as a vanguard officer and led 2 troops to attack Weinan, and sent Pei Xingyan to lead an army of [-] to cross the Wei River to the north to attack Li Shentong who was stationed on the Yellow River.

At this time, the direction of the east gate of Tongguan was full of flames. Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji, Pei Xingyan, Cheng Yaojin, Liu Heita and others had already led the army into the pass and quickly controlled the gate.

Li Xuanba quickly withdrew from Zhangxu, with a flash of shock in his eyes. The last time he and Gao Bufan fought was in the treasure cave under the cliff of Lingyun Temple. At that time, his strength was almost the same as that of Gao Bufan. , who will win and who will lose is still unknown, but the current Gao Bufan is not crazy, but his strength seems to be much stronger than before, and the progress is so great that it is really surprising.

I am the well-deserved founding hero of the country, you, Li Xuanba, are at best a killer, a thief who steals the country, why should you be compared with me. "

Both Ma Sanbao and Chai Shao couldn't help blurting out: "Good!"

Li Xuanba lowered his eyes with a gloomy expression. Although Gao Bufan's words did not contain dirty words, they scolded him bloody.

Gao Bufan held back his breath in a hurry, waved his sleeves and flicked the powder repeatedly, creating a gust of wind to disperse the powder, and then jumped onto the roof, and saw a figure galloping quickly to the west of Guancheng under the night.

As a result, Tongguan, the east gate of Guanzhong, fell into Gao Bufan's hands without bloodshed. Qinchuan also lost its last barrier for eight hundred miles, and was completely exposed to the front of the Qi army. Baili is Li Tang's capital—Chang'an.

Gao Bufan frowned and glanced at the darkness outside the city, and instead of continuing to chase, he turned around and returned by the same way.

At this moment, Gao Bufan's fighting spirit was high, as soon as he took a step, he slashed out with a knife, and fought fiercely with Li Xuanba.

Naturally, Gao Bufan couldn't wait for it. Although Chai Shao's talent is average, he has a special status. He can use this to set a benchmark to show his generosity and generosity, and at the same time expose Li Xuanba's crimes. It kills two birds with one stone. Why not do it? ?

"Go away!" Gao Bufan slashed out with two sabers, as fast as flint and lightning, the two men in black screamed in horror, blood splashed, and they fell to the ground with their weapons, and they were caught in a second. up.

Li Xuanba became more and more frightened as he battled, suddenly he raised his hand and released a cloud of red powder, he jumped through the roof and jumped up.

"Brother Changqing has a sharp tongue, but whether it's a killer or a thief, I, Li Xuanba, always only ask about the result, not the process. As long as Brother Changqing dies here tonight, the victory will eventually belong to me." With a movement of Li Xuanba's figure, he was already in front of Gao Bufan, and stabbed several times in an instant.

In addition, after Gao Bufan occupied Tongguan, he did not attack Chang'an immediately. Instead, he buried Princess Li Xiuning of Pingyang with generous gifts, and made Chai Shao the Duke of Julu County. Chang'an.

At this point, Chai Shao could only turn to Gao Qi with all his heart. He and Ma Sanbao personally came forward to appease Tang Jun, so it didn't take half an hour for Tang Jun in Tongguan City to put down their weapons and surrender, and the remaining few stubborn loyalists left. Xiguanmen fled, but Gao Bufan didn't give orders to stop them and let them escape.

And Gao Bufan's move of dispatching Chai Shao as the vanguard also received miraculous results. Wherever he passed, local counties and counties asked to surrender one after another. In ten days, the five counties of Huayin, Zhengxian, Weinan, Xinfeng, and Lantian All in the bag.

On the second day of August in the third year of Daqi Tianbao, Qi Zhu Gao Changqing personally led [-] Qi troops to Daxing, which was Li Tang's capital—Chang'an.

Ten days later, Li Jing captured Xianyang City, led his army across the Weihe River to the south, and joined forces with Gao Bufan at the foot of Chang'an City. More than [-] troops gathered.

At the same time, the battle in the Bashu area was coming to an end. The news came that the Qi army was galloping through the Guanzhong. Li Xiyu, the general manager of the Li Tang Shu Han Road march, immediately gave up resistance and led all his subordinates to surrender. Qin Shubao completely occupied the Shu land.

Xu Shiji immediately ordered an all-out attack on Hanzhong. Li Xiaogong lost Chang'an's logistical support and was unable to support himself. In the end, he ran out of ammunition and food under the powerful offensive of the Qi army. , Bashu and Hanzhong areas were completely pacified.
