Chapter 385 Guangrao City

Li Jiancheng is worthy of being a descendant of the Li family, and he has not failed Li Yuan's trust.The 10,000-strong army resisted the attack of [-]+ troops from Liu Heita and Wang Xuanying. After five days of fierce fighting, corpses littered the field.

Just when Li Jiancheng felt that he couldn't hold it, and Liu Heitai also felt that he couldn't hold it.The Tiance general of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, the bravest descendant of the Li family, has arrived.How could Liu Heitai, who had fought with Li Jiancheng for five days and five nights, be Li Er's opponent.

The cavalry charged only once, and Liu Heita and Wang Xuanying were routed.There are cavalrymen chasing and killing the fleeing rebels everywhere, and they are very experienced in chasing and killing Li Er.Those sent out were all light cavalry, light and elegant holding longbows.Shoot with a bow when you are far away, and shoot with a horizontal knife when you are close.

Liu Heita is worthy of a generation of heroes, and he was able to gather a team under such a disastrous defeat.But every time they were scattered by Li Er's cavalry, first in Guantao, then in Maozhou.Finally, beside the Yongji Canal, Liu Heitai, who had nowhere to go, launched a final counterattack.

In this battle, Li Er took the lead and led the Xuanjia army to charge first.Brandishing a horse lance and rampaging in the army formation, Liu Heita's soldiers were driven into the water.The ice in early winter is not very strong, and if you step on a piece, it will soon collapse.When one person falls into the water, it immediately becomes a group of people fall into the water.

The river water in December is icy cold, and it takes less than a cup of tea to take away all the warmth of the human body.After a night of frost, the river was frozen again.It's just that on the ice, an arm or a thigh will suddenly appear.The person facing the sky was exposed to the sun, and his face was covered with frost flowers.

Crows don't eat this kind of hard frozen food.The scene inside the glacier is like hell under the sun.Li Er looked at that face very carefully, with a somewhat helpless expression.This guy was supposed to be sent to Chang'an to be hacked to death, but now he was frozen to death in Yongji Canal.It only tortured the time of a stick of incense, which is cheap for this guy.

"Cut him out of the ice, cut off his head and send him to Chang'an." Li Er was in no mood to see Wang Xuanying's body anymore, and now he was going to Shandong.Li Jiancheng, who was almost disabled, took Li Yuanji to Hebei to chase and wipe out the remnants of the enemy, while Li Er was going to Shandong.It is destined to be a massacre to eliminate the anti-Tang forces in the open or in the dark.Li Er was a little depressed about the enemy who had no resistance.In his opinion, he should go to Hebei to chase and kill Liu Heita, who was fleeing far away.

He quietly called Liu Hongji over, and the people from Wagang wanted to follow him to Shandong.This old guy is very evil, and he is the most suitable for this job.

"Bring a thousand cavalry, no matter what method you use. Before the prince, catch Liu Heita and send it to Gu." Li Er's order was very simple, light cavalry pursued.Liu Heita now has less than a hundred cavalry, and it is not difficult to catch them.

"Here!" Liu Hongji promised, and led his men to pursue Liu Heita who had fled back to his lair.

"Brother, Raoyang City is in front of us. This is our place, why don't we go to the city to get some food." The dust covered his face, making it impossible to recognize that this is Liu Shishan, who is known as the most handsome man in Hebei.

"Zhuge Dewei is a man of prey, because he was a local tyrant at the beginning. That's why he became the governor of Raoyang. Now our brother is in trouble. There is no guarantee that this guy will not turn against him!" Liu Heita looked at Rao in the distance Yang Cheng said helplessly.

The expansion of power is too fast, and the result is that they have to rely on some local tyrants.Because only they can effectively manage the place.Zhuge Dewei is such a person, and Zhuge has risen here for more than 300 years.In Raoyang, even if other people are appointed, Zhuge Dewei will definitely be the one behind the scenes.

When the military power is high-handed, these tyrants all bow their heads and obey their ears.Ren Liu Heitai can take whatever he wants, but now there are only more than 100 people around Huluo Pingyang.In this case, Liu Heitai had no idea what Zhuge Dewei would do.Although we are tired and weary, there is an urgent need for repairs.But he still didn't dare to take half a step into Guangrao City, for fear that once he entered, he would never be able to get out again.

"But brother...! Brothers can't hold it anymore!" Liu Shishan looked back at the cavalry who were about to fall off their horses. These were the most loyal guards for their brothers.The others fled without a trace as early as halfway.

Liu Heita looked at Guangrao City and still didn't speak, he really didn't know what to do.It's okay if you fight hard to death, but if you are captured alive, you will suffer a great crime.At that time, it will really be impossible to survive but not to die.

"How about I go into the city and ask Zhuge Dewei for some food, and some horse food for the war horse?" Liu Shishan asked tentatively seeing that Liu Heita was silent.People can tighten their belts, but war horses run endlessly every day.If there is no more horse feed to feed, it is likely to be exhausted to death.

Liu Heitai was about to agree when he suddenly saw the gate of Raoyang City open.A group of cavalry in bright armor galloped out of the city, and Liu Heita's heart tightened suddenly. "Array!" Liu Shishan roared, and the cavalry behind him immediately formed a frontal formation.Although his face was covered with dust, his eyes were full of fighting spirit.

The cavalry galloped quickly to a place within a stone's throw of Liu Heita, and the leading general reined in his horse.Liu Heitai glanced at the opposite side, the leader was none other than the Raoyang Inspector Zhuge Dewei appointed by him.There was a mass of darkness behind him, and it was estimated that there were five or six hundred cavalrymen.All of them have bright armors and hold horses in their hands.It is far from being comparable to these disgraced soldiers with wounds all over their bodies.

If Zhuge Dewei launches an attack now, he will end up dying.Liu Heitai took a deep breath, and slowly drew out the horizontal knife.Even if you die, you have to fight hard to die.Absolutely cannot be captured alive, live like a dog.People should live with dignity!

"Is the king ahead?" Unexpectedly by Liu Heitai, Zhuge Dewei turned over and got off his horse.Without taking anyone with him, he walked towards Liu Heita's team by himself.

"Brother Dewei, stay safe and sound!" Liu Heita hesitated for a moment, but still tightly gripped the handle of the knife.

"Sure enough, it's the king, Zhuge Dewei will not be forgiven for waiting to welcome you!" Walking in front of Liu Heita's horse, Zhuge Dewei knelt down and paid respects.This surprised Liu Heitai, even before.Zhuge Dewei had never paid a visit to worship before, so today he was defeated like a mountain.He actually gave such a big gift!

"Brother Dewei! What are you doing!" Liu Heita quickly got off his horse and helped Zhuge Dewei up.

"I heard that Your Majesty was defeated by Duobaocang, and my subordinates were about to organize a team to respond. However, news came that the Majesty was defeated by Yongji Canal again. The subordinates suffered from having no soldiers in their hands, and could not help our Lord kill the enemy on the battlefield. For the past few days, I have been selling money to recruit soldiers and horses, and I am preparing to welcome the Lord into the city. Today, the Lord has indeed arrived in Raoyang, which is really an eye-opener. It can make Dewei, goodbye, Lord!" Zhuge Dewei said, not knowing what to say The words hit a nerve.He actually started to cry loudly, the tears fell one by one and two by one, and after a while everyone was crying to the point of paralysis.

Liu Heitai threw away the horizontal saber and hugged the collapsed Zhuge Dewei. It is worth dying to have such a subordinate.Liu Heitai even felt a little guilty, just now he suspected that Zhuge Dewei had come to kill him.

"Your Majesty has traveled far and wide, and I will go to the city with my subordinates to recuperate." Zhuge Dewei saw Liu Heitai's face full of dust and dust, and then saw the weak look of the soldiers behind him.Immediately took Liu Heita's hand and dragged him into the city.

Seeing Zhuge Dewei's performance, Liu Heitai's vigilance has already gone beyond the sky.Now someone told him that Zhuge Dewei wanted to kill Liu Heita.He'd chop up that man and feed it to the dogs right away!
Following Zhuge Dewei into the city, Zhuge Dewei gave up his mansion.Served by two beautiful maidservants, Liu Heita took a hot bath.After rubbing a ball of mud on his body, the two maidservants replaced it with seven or eight loofah pieces.Only then did Liu Heita get a little cleaner.

He was in no mood to do anything with his thinly clad maid in his arms, and hadn't eaten much for three days.Already so hungry that he was so hungry that he was so soaked in hot water that he was sweating profusely all over his body.There were some pastries on the table, and I ate them up in two or three bites.He wanted to ask the maid to bring some more, but saw the maid holding clean clothes.Respectfully ask him to put it on, and then go to the banquet of Lord Inspector.

When he went out, he saw Liu Shishan coming out of another room.The courtyard is full of soldiers, even though they are in the city.The hands of these people still did not leave the handle of the knife.The maidservants walking back and forth all walked with their legs crossed.I am afraid that if I am not careful, I will offend these military masters.

"Let the brothers go to rest. They are exhausted after driving all the way. Zhuge Dewei's character is fairly trustworthy, so they all go to eat and then sleep. If you want to kill someone, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future." Seeing the appearance of Zhuge's servant, Liu Hei With a big wave of his hand, he told the soldiers to go down to rest.These people, like myself, hadn't eaten anything for three days.Now is the time for them to take a good rest. Those who can still follow him are the most loyal subordinates.It will be of great use in the future, so what's the matter with suffering along with yourself.

The guards immediately followed the steward to the kitchen, even the most loyal ones had to eat.Moreover, there seemed to be nothing wrong with Zhuge's family.

The servants took Liu Heita and Liu Shishan to the main hall, where Zhuge Dewei was already waiting.A few cold dishes were placed on the table, waiting for the brothers to take their seats.

"Dulwich, you have a heart."

"The lord has been working hard for many days, and it is natural for the subordinates to clean up the dust for the lord. Please take the seat, my lord!" Zhuge Dewei let Liu Heita take the main seat, and Liu Shishan took the second seat.Sit by yourself and accompany you!

As soon as the two brothers sat down, the servants brought the dishes.Seeing the dishes, Liu Heita and Liu Shishan frowned.They are all exquisite styles, and there is not much in the huge plate.But I can't say anything, Zhuge Dewei is enough to curry favor if he can serve sliced ​​lotus root in winter.

"Your Majesty just encounters occasional setbacks, so don't worry about small things. The people of Hebei, as well as the generals, still think about His Majesty. The subordinates offer a toast to His Majesty and drink it!" Zhuge Dewei picked up the wine glass before eating two mouthfuls of food. Toast.

Those two words brought back Liu Heitai's sadness, how many good brothers were buried in the icy water of Yongji Canal.When I wanted to attack Li Jiancheng by myself, I had an army of 10,000+ behind me.But now... there are only a hundred people.The defeat in this battle was too miserable.Li Tang was really strong, so strong that Liu Heita felt that he had no chance of winning.

When I'm in a bad mood, I just drink one cup after another.Zhuge Dewei next to him continued to persuade him, and at first he drank by himself.Later, he took his younger brother Liu Shiyi to drink together, and the wine was so sad, let alone the jejunum.For three days, there is not much food in my stomach.I only ate a few mouthfuls of food, but drank two jars of wine.Even a large number of people can't stand this drinking method.

After finishing another glass of old wine, Liu Heita put his head on the table.The cup and plate "cracked" all over the floor, and Liu Shiyi fell on his head.Spray out like a whale!

This sleep was drowsy, and when I opened my eyes, I saw a candle.The head was dizzy, and the brain and the skull seemed to be separated.Don't dare to move, as long as you move, the world will spin.There seemed to be a fire in my stomach, and smoke was rising from my throat.I felt as if my whole body was on fire, and I didn't know what was wrong with my stomach.The fire is burning, and I can't wait to take it out and wash it.

When I tried to speak, there seemed to be something stuck in my mouth.When the body moved, there was a "squeak" sound.Opening his eyes and looking down, Liu Heikai's soul was blown away.He was actually tied tightly by a chain, and he couldn't speak a word when he wanted to speak.His mouth was tightly stuffed with a ball of sackcloth, for fear that he would spit it out and strangle him.

As the candles dimmed, Zhuge Dewei's figure appeared in front of his eyes.The light came from behind, making Zhuge Dewei's face very gloomy.

"What does your Majesty want to do? Don't look at me like that. Brother, I can't do anything. Many people rely on me for food. As the head of the family, I have to find a way for them. Don't worry, I will not kill you, nor will I It will harm you. You are the guarantee of our Zhuge family's wealth now, and it is too late to protect you, how can I harm you." Zhuge Dewei smiled so darkly that the corners of Liu Heitai's eyes were about to burst.

I thought I had met a sincere subordinate, but now it was like this.This is even more sad than killing him directly outside Guangrao City.His body was arched on the bed like a maggot, and the iron chains on his body were ripped off.If possible, Liu Heita would like to kill this scum with a human face and a beast heart.

"Don't be so excited. The reason for taking all this effort is because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty wants to live, and you have to go back to Chang'an to act like a baby. There is no living Liu Heitai before the dead Liu Heitai. My lord, the wealth of thousands of people in the Zhuge family rests on you. Just calm down, even if you are born with supernatural powers, you will not be able to break free from this chain." Zhuge Dewei smiled like a night owl, Liu Heitai's nostrils " Hang Chi" "Hang Chi" panting heavily.

"Patriarch, everything has been dealt with cleanly. All one hundred and three people were killed, and that Liu Shiyi smashed a mouth full of teeth. Don't be afraid that he will bite his tongue." A man in black came over and reported to Zhuge Dewei. Liu Heitai immediately jumped like a fish.
