760th Northbound

In a small tavern in the city of Xiangyang, under the dim lights, the shopkeeper looked with fear at the three officials sitting there drinking not far away.Master Guan is not Master Guan. Master Guan is faithful, but Master Guan is not necessarily so.Not to mention whether you will be given money for eating or drinking, just saying whether you can serve him well is enough to make the shopkeeper feel uneasy.

The current officials in the city are not those officials from the time of Daliang Kingdom, but officials from Datang.

For these gentlemen who have just entered the city, the shopkeeper dare not offend them.No one knows if a carelessness will cause disasters. In this messy world, it is very normal for soldiers to kill people.Killing a few little people like them with no background and no power is as simple and easy as crushing a few ants.

The food and wine were the best, and the shopkeeper specially watched the chefs cook each dish one by one.He was afraid that the boy would spit into the dishes in a moment of excitement. If the three officials found out, who knew if he would implicate the three clans?

Fortunately, it doesn't look like those three are bullying.

In the view of the shopkeeper, the most friendly and kind-hearted of the three people is the fat man.Aside from being honest and honest in appearance, he looks innocent and clean, so he hasn't killed anyone.As for that skinny guy, forget it, a person like that is greedy for money and lustful at first glance.What worries him the most is that guy with a bad face, isn't there an old saying... There are no good people with a bad face.

As if sensing the unkind look in the shopkeeper's eyes, the pale-faced man turned his head and took a look this way.The shopkeeper shrank his neck in fright, not daring to look at him.

"Good people don't live long, and disasters last thousands of years."

After taking a sip of wine, the slightly drunk fat man looked at the white face and said with emotion: "I just can't figure it out, you were hiding in Li Shimin's army, why didn't you get shot to death by a cold arrow in the chaos army? It's so unfair in the sky. What. The bastard has turned into stone, you are still alive..."

"You expect me to die?"

The white-faced Wu Bushan asked the fat man with a glance.

"I've been looking forward to it for a day or two. Since the last time you used the will of the lord to force me to take money out, I regularly burn three sticks of incense in front of the Buddha every day. Walking and wrestling, it hurts to urinate, and when you are in bed with a woman, you will urinate in the blink of an eye. It is more vicious to have a son without a fart-hole, but I am not ashamed to beg the Buddha to show his spirit."

"Buddha is really giving you face, nothing works."

Wu Bushan said with a smile.

Wan Yulou sighed: "So, you are a disaster."

"Fatty, if you don't stay in Nanya, you have to go to Xiangyang City to scare me."

Wu Bushan took a sip of wine and said, "How much do you miss me?"

The skinny Wang Qinian spit out the wine, wiped the wine off his clothes and said, "It's disgusting."

Wan Yulou shook her proud chest and said frightfully: "My lord transferred me here. If you have something to do, you can go to the lord and go to prison. Also, you said why are you so cheap, and I said that it is okay to invite Lao Wang to drink." Please, why are you running here so fast?"

"The bitch has wine to drink, and the bitch has meat to eat."

Wu Bushan said: "What's the matter, I just ate and drank, what can you do?"

"Shameless!"

Wan Yulou pulled Wang Qinian and said, "Have you ever seen someone more shameless than him?"

Wang Qinian gnawed on a chicken leg and said without raising his head, "I met one, and he said he would buy me a drink today."

Wan Yulou snorted, and cursed bitterly: "A pair of sluts."

Wang Qinian smiled: "Fatty, my lord has called you back in case I need it, and be careful not to leave Li Shimin. But you don't seem to have done a good job. It's still my lord who got rid of the serious trouble. If I was there , how can you shrink back like you? Even if you are alone, I can single-handedly knock Li Shimin to the ground."

"It's really interesting to blow it from the mouth of an unreliable person."

Wu Bushan said solemnly: "I don't even dare to think about what virtue it is for you to charge forward alone. Are monkeys riding horses?"

"ri-Your uncle!"

Wang Qinian cursed.

"My uncle is still farming in his hometown. He is in his sixties and is healthy and strong. If you really want to, I will show you the way and tell you how to get there. I will pay for the money."

Wan Yulou shuddered: "Don't talk about it, I can imagine what kind of scene it was when you just said it. Your 60-year-old uncle took a hoe, weeded the grass, and licked Wang Qinian... too **** *Stimulated."

"brute!"

Wu Bushan and Wang Qinian cursed in unison.

"drink wine"

Wan Yulou smiled triumphantly: "After drinking, I still have work to do."

"Do you still dare to drink when you have official business?"

Wang Qinian asked.

"It's not a big deal. I've been dealing with dead people all day these days. I brought a few people who had seen Yu Chigong before tossing around in the pile of dead bodies. It's been several days. I feel so disgusted that I want to die."

"Yu Chigong?"

Wu Bushan was startled for a moment, and couldn't help sighing: "That guy is a man!"

At this time, in a corner of the Yanyun army camp.A lame man wearing Yanyun Army uniform limped to the door of the tent, looked around and then got in.His face was injured, and a scar from the center of his eyebrows to the corner of his mouth made him look extraordinarily hideous.He was so thin that people would shudder when they saw him, as ugly as a skeleton.

After entering the door, the cripple lay down in his place, closed his eyes and meditated.

"Cripple, haven't you remembered which battalion you are in?"

asked the soldier who was in the same tent with him.

The cripple shook his head and said nothing.

"Poor guy, I don't even know who I am. But it's luck. After you return to the teacher, you can go home to take care of yourselves. With your injuries, the court will not give you less money."

The cripple grinned, as if enjoying himself.

……

……

In the imperial palace in Xiangyang City, the lights in the imperial study room were always on.His Royal Highness King Yan lived in the palace after celebrating his victory, and lived and ate in the imperial study.But everyone knows that it won't take long for the army to move out.This year's Spring Festival, I'm afraid it will pass halfway through the march.

The battle reports of the battle in Hebei will be sent every day. Due to the severe cold in the middle of winter, the Yanyun army attacking Hebei basically stopped advancing and defended the counties that had already been occupied.Dou Jiande sits on a vast territory in Hebei, and this battle cannot be completed in a short time.

This year's winter seems to be extraordinarily cold, and the decisive battle will probably be delayed until next year's spring.

There was nothing to do in Chang'an, Du Ruhui was discussing with the people below about government affairs.Nothing major happened, and with Du Ruhui's talent, there would be no mistakes.In addition, Cheng Mingzhen is a mature and prudent man, sitting in the capital with Du Ruhui, Wen and Wu, there is nothing to worry about.

What Li Xian is most concerned about now is the battle situation on the grassland.

Liu Hongji had been out of the northern part of the Great Wall with his people for a while, and Li Xian could trust Liu Hongji's affairs, and the news from the Military Inspection Department recently said that Luo Yi had already left the customs with a heavy horse.

But this is precisely because of the changes that may have been caused by the incidents on the grassland. Luo Yi sent troops outside the Great Wall, and the defenders in Zhuo County must have insufficient troops... If Dou Jiande took the opportunity to go north, the situation in Hebei would become complicated again.In addition to those Goguryeo people who don't know how to die...staying here in Xiangyang City for one more day may have an impact on the future battle situation.

Li Xian is in a hurry.

So he killed hundreds of officials from the emperor to the officials of Daliang Kingdom in one go. Speaking of which, Li Xian was at the gate of Xiangyang City on the day he entered Xiangyang City, and his slightly arrogant behavior was also intentional.At that time, he didn't glance at Xiao Xian, nor did he glance at Liang Guo's surrendered officials. The expressions on the faces of those surrendered officials were all under the observation of the military guard in secret.

Sometimes the reason for killing is very simple, that is, it is better to kill the wrong than to let go.

If you want to establish a new order in one place, the best way is to completely overthrow the original order.As for the rest of the Liang Kingdom that has not yet been conquered, Li Xian has already made plans.

Putting down the secret report from the military inspection office in his hand, Li Xian looked at Li Xiaogong who was sitting on a chair not far away, who seemed a little restrained.

"You have Jing cavalry under your command, so you have to call them alone."

Li Xian didn't intend to use any euphemistic way to say it, but said bluntly: "Gu wants to lead the army northward, and the cavalry is heavy. I won't take all of them away. I will leave you with 5 cavalry. Li Shimin and Liang Jun's surrender plan 2 people will be given to you. If you can subdue these soldiers, I will leave you another [-] infantry. These [-] soldiers were selected from the original defenders of Chang'an. You used to be the defender of Chang'an. They are all your old subordinates, and you can use them easily."

"Ten thousand cavalry and seventy thousand infantry."

Li Xian looked at Li Xiaogong and said: "Gu will give you 8 horses, and you will rest in Xiangyang City for two months. After the new year, the southern lands that have not yet been pacified will be handed over to you. When Gu ends the matter in Hebei, if you have the strength If you don’t have enough, I will send you troops. In addition, Niu Jinda is less than five hundred miles away, and he is training recruits. If the battle is tight, you can ask Niu Jinda to lead the army to support.”

"The minister obeys the order."

Li Xiaogong bowed his head and said.

"The folk customs of the land of Jingxiang are tough, please appease the Lord."

Li Xian thought for a while and ordered: "Killing people alone in Xiangyang City is a last resort, but you calm down the south, use more comfort and less killing. The people in the south are not like the people in the north. It is more useful to benefit them than to use weapons. How to fight, how to fight, you decide for yourself, I just explain a few words."

"The minister will not disgrace the mission."

"I can't believe
