Chapter 494
For the local people, the change of sky in Liyang City has become commonplace.

In the eighth year of Daye, Yang Xuangan rebelled here, curbing Yang Guang's second eastward expedition to Goguryeo.

Later, Li Mi and Xu Shiji captured the city, and Liyang City became the base camp of the Wagang Army in Hebei.Later, Yu Wenhua and Beishang wanted to seize Liyang Cang, where they fought against Li Mi.

The common people experienced a burst of fear again, although Yu Wenhuaji did not capture Li Yang, but the common people were already displaced.

But two years later, Li Mi surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and Liyang City was occupied by Yu Wenhuaji again.

The people in Liyang City are all suffering.

Now Liyang City is occupied by Zhao Jun, and the king's banner is changed at the top of the city, the common people are a little worried, but they have always heard that Zhao Jun's military discipline is very good.After Zhao Jun entered the city, he did not disturb the people at all, and the soldiers and the people did not commit any crimes.

Seeing Zhao Jun's strict military discipline, the common people were all glad that the day of suffering had finally passed.But at this time, news came out from the city that Li Shentong and Wang Bo's armies had already outflanked them, and Liyang City was about to face another big battle.

This time the common people panicked, not only the big households in the city, but even the common people flocked towards the gate of the city.

The hearts of the people in the city were unstable, and the common people dragged their families with them, and they all crowded behind the gate of the north city, knocking on the gate and asking the defenders on the city to let them out of the city.

There was a lot of crying and shouting in the city, the gate of the city had already been closed, and the soldiers held guns in front of the gate.

Just as the army and the people faced off, a car surrounded by dozens of cavalry arrived at the North Street of Liyang City.

When the common people saw the armored cavalry with iron masks, they all shuddered and did not dare to step forward, and retreated to both sides of the street.

But when the car came between the crowd, the curtain of the car was opened, and a young man in his 20s wearing military uniform got out of the car.All of a sudden, the originally noisy street quieted down.

But there was only a pause in the silence, and immediately a commoner in his early thirties stepped forward and bowed, saying: "This is Zhao Hong, the local teacher, how dare you ask your official?"

Zhao Hong saw that the other party was very young, but he had such an exquisite car driver, and he also had iron-armored cavalry guards. He thought he was a son of a noble family in Zhao State, who was in a high position by virtue of the family's strength.

The young man looked at him and said gently, "It turned out to be Mr. Zhao."

Zhao Hong saw that he was bowing, and the other party should have returned the salute, but this young man just stood there casually, without any intention of returning the salute, and couldn't help but feel annoyed at his arrogance.

Zhao Hong couldn't help feeling angry in his heart. He thought that even if he was a child of an aristocratic family, he shouldn't be so arrogant. Then he said again: "I don't know what your surname is? Qinghe Cui, Fan Yanglu, or Zhaojun Li?"

Fang Yan said: "It's not, it's Li Chongjiu alone."

Zhao Hong's face froze when he heard the word Li Chongjiu. Everyone knew that this King Zhao was weakly crowned Marquis, but he had been the lord of Youzhou for five or six years, but he didn't expect to be so young.

Zhao Hong asked again: "You are really Li..."

Zhao Hong quickly swallowed the latter two words and called the Venerable by his name, which is disrespectful.

The other party smiled, looked at the people and said: "Li Chongjiu is not a superhuman person, so there is no need to impersonate him."

Cold sweat dripped from Zhao Hong's forehead. He wanted to bow down, but suddenly his knees became stiff. At this time, scholars still have a strong character, and they don't bow down to others except the emperor.

Zhao Hong bowed again, and said loudly: "Greetings to King Zhao, King Zhao is a thousand years old!"

All the people in the street heard that Li Chongjiu was here, and they all shouted that King Zhao is a thousand years old.

Li Chongjiu asked: "Why are you so anxious to go out, so that you are blocked in front of the city gate?"

At this moment, Zhao Hong's heart was in a state of panic, and he said, "I heard that Wang Bo, who kills people without batting an eyelid, and Li Tang's army are going to attack Liyang City. Therefore, I wanted to leave Liyang City as soon as possible, but I didn't expect to run into Zhao Wang's imperial chariot, it is really a serious crime, I will go back later."

After hearing what Zhao Hong said, some people agreed to return to their residences, while others stopped and looked at the city gate lingeringly.

Li Chongjiu looked at the expressions of the people, and said loudly: "Mr. Zhao, what a big crime you are talking about. It is my responsibility, Mr. Li, to make the people unable to live in peace.

Hearing what Li Chongjiu said, all the common people stopped moving, and someone in the crowd suddenly said: "King Zhao is so generous, why don't you open the city gate and let us go."

Li Chongjiu said: "If you don't open the city gate, you are worried that someone will come out and tell the enemy what is going on under the city. Once the enemy retreats, you will open the city gate again and let everyone be free."

At this time, another person said: "The king of Zhao said it lightly. If the city is broken, we and the people will suffer from the chaos of the army. How can the king of Zhao protect us?"

When Li Chongjiu saw someone fighting against him, he knew in his heart that it was either Li Tang or Li Shentong sent to infiltrate the city as a spy, how could ordinary people have the courage to question him.If they were really let out of the city, Li Shentong and Wang Bo would know the details of the city.Li Chongjiu gave the guards a wink, and they knew how to immediately search for the person who spoke.

Standing on the car, Li Chongjiu said loudly to all the people: "The city will not be broken! Gu dare to guarantee it here."

"It's empty talk!"

Li Chongjiu looked in the direction of the person speaking, and said: "Gu is the lord of a country. Compared with Your Excellency, this life is more important, you can also know. I am not afraid of death. I am sitting in the city, and you have What are you afraid of?"

With this sentence, the people who refuted below stopped making a sound.

Li Chongjiu said: "All the people are the people of Liyang City. I know that our Han people are all resettled and resettled. If it wasn't for the suffering of the war, why bother to move away? This is lonely, isn't it? Liyang was captured , so as to disturb the people, but the [-] cavalry marching south alone is to end this troubled world."

Speaking of this, Li Chongjiu paused for a moment, and said: "The man just said nothing, but I am here alone, and I promise to all the people that as long as I, Li Chongjiu, become King Zhao for one day, the people of Liyang City will have three years. , all may not be expropriated, not transferred, not rented, not enlisted.”
"Is what King Zhao said true?" An old man with white hair and a vicissitudes of life was holding a baby in his arms, and looked at Li Chongjiu with trembling eyes.

Li Chongjiu said: "You are not joking."

The old man had a reassuring smile on his face when he heard the words, and said: "The year before last when Xu Jun broke the city, my daughter-in-law was dragged into the barracks by Xu Jun and never came back. My son was arrested again and disappeared in Wei County. As long as I am an old man and this miserable baby, if it were not for the chaos of war, how could the old man take his two-year-old grandson out of the city? Now that King Zhao said this, the old man is relieved. I will take my grandson home now .”

After speaking, the old man took a step first, and the people behind him all turned their heads when they saw it.

"Fucking mother, go home!"

"Going home, I wonder if the door is locked?"

"Don't tell me when you leave, don't you take those two broken items with you? Why are you still thinking about them?"

"Oh, a broken home is worth a million dollars."

Li Chongjiu looked at the bustling backs of the people silently. At this moment, the guards said: "The spy has been caught. Will the king interrogate him?"

Li Chongjiu said: "Pry their mouths open for me to see whether it is Wang Bo or Li Shentong."

The white horse crosses the river.

After the turbid waves cleared, Liyang Ferry, where Liyang City was located, was on the other side.

Looking from Baimadu, there are only a few water boats on Liyangdu, and there is no sign of heavily guarded troops.

Wang Bo was standing at the Baima Ferry, in a good mood, pointing his whip at the surging Yellow River confidently, and said with a smile to the left and right: "Li Shentong actually sent someone to ask me to send troops, I don't even know that Wang Bo is now, It actually has such a heavy weight in their eyes."

The general at the side said: "Master, Li Shentong's price is not bad, you can get a vote."

Wang Bo smiled and said: "You don't understand, Yu Wenhuaji is our big customer, and Li Shentong is also our big customer. Both sides are bidding for me to attack Li Chongjiu and take Li Yangcang. I, Wang Bo, will not They traded at a loss, and they promised benefits all over the sky, but we waited on the ground for a long time, and we didn't see a coin or two dropped in the air."

"Before seeing the real money, why should we brothers go all out?"

All the generals laughed when they heard this, and said that the head of the family was really cautious, and the brothers felt inferior.

Wang Bo immediately asked: "Has the news that our army is going to attack Liyang City been released?"

A man dressed as a scribe said with a smile: "If you go back to the manager, you should have been released a long time ago. My [-] army, plus Li Tang's [-], came from left and right. Liyang City is already panicked. This strategy of attacking the heart is really clever."

Wang Bo sneered and said: "Li Shentong, Yu Wenhuaji are all idiots, if I capture Liyang Cang one day, with the food and grass in the city that can't be eaten up for decades, why should I look at Li Shentong, Yu Wenhuaji and others?" face."

The scribe said: "Does the general manager want to recruit troops in Liyang?"

Wang Boyan said: "Why not?"
