"This general, may I ask which general you are under?"

Yuan Wuben, who was being pushed forward, stopped in front of Li Xian, raised his head and asked very seriously.Li Xian, who was sitting on a big black horse and chewing a piece of fluffy grass, glanced at him, and asked lightly, "Do you know that this is meaningful?"

Yuan Wuben nodded and said solemnly: "I just want to know the name of the general. The general came back from Liaodong for thousands of miles. Calculated, even if he had wings and flew, he shouldn't have arrived so quickly. Such a marching speed made me Admiration. I have no other intentions, I just want to know if all the imperial army has returned?"

Li Xian smiled slightly and said: "You are still loyal, you have become a prisoner and you are still worried about your master Yang Xuangan."

Yuan Wuben shook his head and sighed: "There is nothing to worry about. The commander-in-chief now has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and Han Xiangguo has 10 troops to help. Even if the imperial army came back from Liaodong, they would be exhausted. Very big. In the final outcome of this battle, I still think the commander-in-chief will win! Moreover, the reason why I ask this question is not because of worry, but just out of curiosity. When did the imperial army return from Liaodong? General How long did it take to get from Liaodong to Liyang?"

Li Xian squinted at Yuan Wuben and said with a smile, "You have confidence in Yang Xuangan."

He leaned down, looked into Yuan Wuben's eyes and said: "It is estimated that the troops of the Sui court have just passed the Liaoshui River, and the fastest will arrive at Zhuojun. Don't worry, Yang Xuangan still has a few days left. Time to live. As for you, if you are willing to honestly cooperate with me to transport the food out, I will not kill you. After I lead the army to leave, you can continue to recruit troops and buy horses to defend Liyang. To Yang Xuangan's ears, you are still the sheriff, and you can pretend nothing happened."

Yuan Wuben's face changed suddenly, and then he smiled miserably and said: "Even if Yuan is now a prisoner and a defeated general, you don't have to mock me like this, General."

Li Xian asked with a smile: "How can I ridicule you?"

Yuan Wuben looked at the cavalrymen beside Li Xian and said, "Could it be that the general really thinks that I don't know the livery of the soldiers of the Sui Dynasty? Could it be that the general really thinks that Yuan is an idiot?"

Li Xian pointed to the big banner behind him and said, "You still haven't looked carefully."

"Yanyun Village?"

Yuan Wuben's eyes froze, and his face became even more ugly.That's right, that's not the fierce red battle flag of the Sui Dynasty. This big flag is black, with three big red characters on it, Yanyun Village.It can be seen from this flag that it is indeed a team of people on the green forest road.However, what Yuan Wu couldn't figure out was that even if the county soldiers didn't have the standard equipment of the Sui government soldiers, how could a cottage on a green forest road have five thousand elite cavalry and tens of thousands of well-prepared and well-trained infantry?

"That's right, it's Yanyun Village."

Li Xian smiled proudly and said, "The ones who defeated you were not the people of the Sui Dynasty, but the people of my Yanyun Village."

For some reason, Yuan Wuben suddenly felt relieved.It stands to reason that if he was defeated by the elite troops of the Sui Dynasty, he would have nothing to regret.Then he should be unwilling to be defeated by a green forest rebel army.However, Yuan Wuben's mood at this time is much more relaxed than before, maybe...he knows that if he loses to the troops of the Great Sui Dynasty, he will only die.As for the rebels who lost to Green Forest Road, just as the black armor general said, if he cooperates well, he might still be able to save the lives of the young and old.

"Yanyun Village... Yanyun..."

Yuan Wuben's eyes widened suddenly, looking at Li Xian like a monster.

"Could it be...the legend about Yan Yun on the Liaodong battlefield last year...is it true?"

He subconsciously asked Li Xian.

Li Xian smiled and said, "The rumors about Yanyun in Liaodong are true, but... Yanyun is fake."

"What do you mean, General?"

Yuan Wuben asked.

Li Xian shook his head and stopped talking, and urged the horse to go forward.Yuan Wu stood in front of the Liyang city gate with a good knowledge of current affairs, and personally shouted loudly for Yuan Yong to open the city gate.Seeing that his father was caught by the thieves, Yuan Yong had to order the city gate to be opened.After entering Liyang City, Li Xian left 2000 troops to guard the city gate, climbed up the city wall and drove out all the guards of Liyang Army.Xiong Kuohai personally led [-] heavy armored infantry to guard the city gate, while Tie Liaolang rushed into the city with [-] elite cavalry and arrested Yuan Wuben's wife and family members.

Yuan Yong looked at his father who was tied up like a rice dumpling with a gray face, wanting to cry but no tears.He glanced at the men and horses entering the city, and asked in a low voice: "Father, they didn't make things difficult for you, the imperial court...why did the imperial court's men and horses come back so quickly?"

Yuan Wuben hurriedly said: "Heart is upright, you listen to Weifu, don't resist, they are not the people of the imperial court!"

He lowered his voice and said: "These thieves are only here to rob food and grass, as long as they have enough food and grass, they will leave. You order the soldiers not to resist, no matter how much food the thieves bring out, don't stop them!"

"Not a member of the imperial court?"

Yuan Yong asked in surprise.

"no!"

Yuan Wuben said word by word: "It is estimated that your mother and our clansmen have also been captured by the thieves. They did not start a massacre. Obviously they did not want to confront our Marshal Yang. It is estimated that they had no choice but to attack Li Yang because they were in a hurry. City. Now on both sides of the Yellow River, the heroes of Lvlin Road are being contacted by Mi Gong to assist the commander. Since these people dare to show their banners, it shows that they are strong and not afraid of other heroes, but they are not strong enough to fight the commander. the point."

"It can be seen that they act in a very orderly manner, obviously they don't want to do anything wrong. Moreover, the leader of the thieves also said before that they left after taking the food and grass. After they withdraw, I will still be the governor of Liyang County. I think that person is talking We are trustworthy, so we must not stop it, so as not to arouse the murderous intent of those thieves."

Yuan Yong nodded quickly and said: "My child has written it down!"

Just as he was talking, Li Xian came over on a big black horse, pointed at Yuan Wuben and said, "Untie the lord Fujun."

Two soldiers came up to untie the rope on Yuan Wu himself, Yuan Wu bent his muscles and clasped his fists to Li Xian, "Thank you, General, for not hurting the people of Liyang."

Li Xian smiled and said: "The people have no hatred against me, so what can I do for the people? My lord, please lead the way. I am still in a hurry to transport food out of the city."

……

……

From June 24th, the Liyang Warehouse began to deliver grain continuously.The carriage brought by Li Xian himself is obviously not enough, even if all the carriages in Liyang City are added up to transport grain to Juye Ze non-stop, it is nothing to the huge Liyang warehouse, and Li Xian is not too A lot of time was wasted in Liyang, and he estimated that in ten days at most, the fastest troops of the Tai Sui's government soldiers would arrive soon.

Fortunately, there are not enough carriages, Liyang is still next to the river, and there are plenty of boats in Liyang City.In just three days, Li Xian's men and horses collected hundreds of large ships. Li Xian asked the soldiers to wear the uniforms of the Sui government soldiers to escort the grain ships. It can directly enter Juyeze Water Park.Going by water is much faster than going by land.

Although the waterway has to pass through several important towns such as Puyang and Linhuang, the grain ships carrying the flag of the Sui Dynasty were escorted by soldiers wearing the uniforms of the Sui army, and no one in the cities passing by along the way doubted the grain. Where to go.Besides, Yang Xuangan rebelled, the adults in these cities were all huddled in the city and dared not come out, and the green forest bandits along the road did not dare to fight against the soldiers of the Sui Dynasty, so the food transportation was extremely smooth.

From June 24th to July [-]rd, Li Xian stayed in Liyang City to supervise the transportation of grain and grass.In nine days, the food shipped from the Liyang warehouse is enough to feed Ju Yeze's current people for ten years.Calculating that the troops of the Sui court were about to arrive, Li Xian ordered the shipment of the last batch of grain and grass, and then took the troops back to Juyeze by land.

Yuan Wuben was very happy, really happy. He had never seen such a bandit who kept his word. After the food was delivered enough, the people in Yanyun Village withdrew from Liyang. In addition to buying peace with Wan Guan's money, the people in Yanyun Village did not harass the people.And although those rich households pooled money to buy Ping An, they felt distressed, but at any rate, the 20 rich people were not in vain.

After the troops from Yanyunzhai were mobilized, Yuan Wuben immediately sent someone to Yang Xuangan's army to deliver a letter saying that Liyang City was besieged by bandits and lost some food and grass. defeated the bandits.The letter was very general, and did not mention the specific date of the battle, nor did it mention that it was the rebel army that attacked Liyang City.Then Yuan Wuben recruited troops again, preparing to stick to Li Yang, even if someone came to borrow food, he did not intend to go out of the city to fight.After this battle, he fully realized the weakness of his Li Yang Army, compared with the troops of Yanyun Village, they were simply vulnerable.

It's just that the people in the Liyang warehouse were scattered, and after a few days, he recruited a team of less than 5000 people. Counting the remaining people in Liyang City, the total number is just over 1.

Yuan Wuben and Yuan Wuzhen summed up the experience of this defeat and decided not to send food to Yang Xuangan's army for the time being.Wait until the men and horses grow stronger, after all, they don't have many soldiers and horses to use right now.The two also clasped their hands tightly and agreed to supervise each other. No matter what tricks the enemy uses next time, they will never go out of the city to fight. Although 1 horses are not many, they can barely cope with defending the city.

Yuan Wu didn't expect that the experience he summed up by himself would cause so much trouble for the troops who later attacked Li Yang.And Wu Benlang, the general Chen Leng who led the army galloping here, originally used the trick of luring the enemy to lure Yuan Wuben out of Liyang City, and defeated the Liyang Army in one fell swoop in the field.The location was at the foot of the big mountain. He ambushed his troops in the dense forest, and then sent troops to lure Yuan Wuben out of the city to fight. This is how he defeated Yuan Wuben in history. Unfortunately... Yuan Wuben is no longer fooled this time.Li Xian arrived ten days earlier than Chen Ling, taking away the victory that should have belonged to him.
