Tang Dynasty: Starting from Kou Zhong, the heavens rise!

"It's just that Li Xiuning overestimated himself and underestimated me."

"Li Clan wants to be in charge of Guanzhong, but don't I want to?"

"This commander established a cavalry force in Jingling County, went north to Nanyang, followed the old Shangluo route, entered Guanzhong, and captured Chang'an."

"I want to see whether Li Clan is one foot taller, or this handsome devil is one foot taller."

Kou Zhong's confident voice sounded throughout the lobby, making people awe-inspiring, and Wanwan's beautiful eyes were filled with brilliance.

The passionate young master Hou Xibai even clapped his hands and applauded: "Young Commander, this plan is a great kindness!"

Everyone knows that the eight hundred miles of fertile fields in Guanzhong are the foundation of the king's hegemony. If they go out, they will compete in the Central Plains and dominate the world. Moreover, there is a natural barrier in Hangu Pass, which separates the two capitals.

People from the Central Plains have always taken the Hangu Pass to enter Guanzhong. Taking the big river as the criterion, Hangu Pass is east of Hangu Pass, and Hedong County and Hongnong County are divided into the south and north.

Li Clan lives in Jinyang, Taiyuan County. If he wants to enter Guanzhong and seize Hedong and Hongnong counties, knocking at Hangu Pass is the best choice.

But there is not only one important way to enter Guanzhong. In history, there is another way, which is the one taken by Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty.

Pass through Nanyang, take Shangluo, knock Wuguan, then enter Lantian and reach Guanzhong.

Although this road into the pass is not wider than the one at Hangu Pass, it is sparsely populated and hidden.

Moreover, for Shaoshuai's army, they can even move on land and water in parallel, with the navy passing through Luoshui to Shangluo, and the cavalry passing through Nanyang to Wuguan, a two-pronged attack.

"Brother Hou!"

"This is the Black Bird Order. With this order, you can command Jingling's [-]-strong army."

"There are only two forces in Jingling, one is Pegasus Ranch, and the other is Domination Villa."

"Fang Zetao, the owner of Domination Villa, calls himself the General Manager of Jingling. He has four generals and more than ten thousand soldiers under his command."

"You go to Jingling, destroy the Domination Villa, and control the entire county. The Pegasus Ranch will not be moved for the time being. We will discuss it when I come back."

"In addition, there is a man named Xu Xingzhi in Domination Villa, who must be recruited into the army."

Immediately, Kou Zhong took out a simple token from his arms and threw it to Hou Xibai.

"Yes!"

Hou Xibai's heart was filled with excitement and he immediately accepted the order.

When he first joined the army, he was able to control 5000 people. Kou Zhong's behavior was so domineering that he directly won Hou Xibai's favor and respect.

"You can recuperate here for a while, or..."

"I will go with you to Xingyang."

Before Kou Zhong could finish speaking, Wanwan blocked his mouth with one sentence.

"Uh, good."

Kou Zhong was stunned for a moment, then nodded in response.

In his impression, Wanwan was only weak due to lack of zhenqi. Now that he was nourished by his zhenqi, she had recovered more than half of her strength. At least there was no big problem in traveling, so he simply agreed.

On the contrary, Hou Xibai on the side looked at Wanwan and Kou Zhong getting along with a smile in his eyes.

..........

In October of the 12th year of Daye, Xingyang County.

Under the leadership of Zhai Rang, the Wagang Army successively captured Jindi Pass and most of the county towns in the county, and advanced towards Xingyang City with great momentum.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty ordered Zhang Xutuo to guard Xingyang and led more than [-] elite Sui troops to attack Zhai Rang. Zhai Rang wanted to retreat, but under Li Mi's persuasion, he united his troops to confront him. The two sides fought dozens of times, with no distinction between superior and inferior. , showing a confrontational situation.

Outside Xingyang City, the Wagang Army's ten-mile company camp was vast and boundless.

"Pushan County Duke Li Mi leads the troops well, is brave and good at fighting, and he truly deserves his reputation."

"In a few months, a scattered rebel army was integrated into a powerful army, which defeated the Sui army one after another."

"If this continues, the Wagang Army is very likely to seize the entire Xingyang County and Xingluocang, thus becoming the most powerful force in the Central Plains..."

Looking around, Li Xiuning looked at the neat and orderly Wagang army, and gleams appeared in his beautiful eyes one after another.

"Xiu Ning."

"We have already met Zhai Rang. Li Mi is just the second in command, so what if he agrees to send troops?"

Li Shentong asked with some confusion.

Nowadays, Zhai Rang is still in charge of the Wagang Army, and it is known all over the world that Zhai Rang single-handedly created the name of the First Rebel Army.

There are countless heroes in Wagang's army, and none of them came for Zhai Rang's name.

Zhai Rang was unwilling to send troops to rescue Du Fuwei, so what if Li Mi agreed?

However, Li Xiuning just shook his head and said meaningfully: "Uncle doesn't know something."

"Although Li Mi is only a latecomer, as the Wagang Army gradually grows, his prestige has faintly surpassed Zhai Rang's."

"Moreover, Xu Shiji and his wife, Shan Xiongxin, Wang Bodang, Wei Zheng and others all support Li Mi, and a dramatic change in the Wagang Army is ahead of us."

"Even if we can't persuade Li Mi to send troops, making friends with Li Mi will be beneficial to the future development of our Li family."

"Miss Li, please come this way!"

Just as Li Xiuning was speaking, a deputy general came forward and invited him.

Li Xiuning followed him and entered a grand tent, inside which sat an elegant middle-aged man.

"Li Xiuning has met the second master!"

Immediately, Li Xiuning stepped forward and saluted.

"Brother Shude and I have known each other since we were young, and we call you Xiuning in an exaggerated way."

"I already know your purpose of coming. It's just a matter decided by the master. I can't object to it."

"Everyone who has come from afar, please take a seat, please!"

Li Mi raised his wine glass with a gentle expression and paid tribute to the man in the clan.

"Please!"

Li Xiuning frowned slightly, sat down on the right side, drank a glass in return, and said: "The second head of the family is from Guanlong, so he has something to do with me, the Li clan."

"Now that all the heroes in the world have risen together, the Hunjun has settled in Jiangdu with the intention of clearing obstacles. Therefore, Du Fuwei's danger comes from the Xiaoguo Army."

"The Jianghuai River is rich, and it is between the Central Plains and Jiangnan. Without the buffer of the Jianghuai River, the Central Plains will face the southern military front."

"The Jiangzuo Shaoshuai Army and the Xiangchu Liang Army are eyeing it, and even more ambitious are Shen Faxing of Piling County and Liu Yuanjin of Wu County."

"Once Du Fuwei is defeated, and the Sui army defeats Fu Gongyou again, Jianghuai will be unstoppable to the people of Jiangnan."

"At that time, there will be Sui troops in front of the Wagang Army and pursuers behind them. How can they develop?"

"Furthermore, the Wagang Army is the foundation that the second master won back. How can the great cause go wrong because of others' ignorance."

"This matter..."

Li Mi's face moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something.

However, suddenly there was a cry of killing outside the tent.

"kill!"

"Destroy Li Clan's cavalry!"

"Brothers, come on!"

A large number of Wagang soldiers appeared out of nowhere and swarmed around Li Xiuning's escort.

The 5.4 escorting Li Xiuning this time was none other than Xuan Jia Jingqi. There were 500 of them, and they mounted their horses and galloped forward, invincible.

But they faced thousands of Wagang soldiers. They were unable to defeat the four-handed soldiers with two fists. They were all set on fire and suffered heavy losses.

"What does the second master mean?"

Seeing this, Li Xiuning's pretty face suddenly changed color, and she stood up to question Li Mi.

Boom! ! !

Li Shentong beside her instantly burst into aura.

The grandmaster's later cultivation was clearly visible, and the entire tent was blown away. All the Wagang soldiers who came up from all directions were knocked away and fell to the ground dead.

Blood instantly stained the camp red, and corpses were everywhere.

what?

Li Mi couldn't sit still anymore. He was only a late-stage master. If they really wanted to fight, the two of them would be evenly matched at most.

But it was indeed not Li Mi's intention to surround and kill Li Xiuning. The Guanlong clan and the clan were all one body. If word spread, how would Li Mi behave?

"Bastard!"

"What are you doing?"

In anger, Li Mi quickly spoke up and shouted angrily.

The soldiers around Wagang stopped what they were doing and were a little at a loss.

"The Li family peeked into the secrets of my Wagang Army, so I ordered their execution. I think the second master won't mind!"

suddenly.

A charming voice came from behind the Wagang Army soldiers.

A girl in red clothes, with hair tied up and a gold hairpin on her temples, walked out slowly, with a hint of domineering in her figure.

Even Li Mi's lips twitched when he saw her. This woman was Zhai Jiao, the only daughter of Zhai Rang, the head of the Wagang Army. She was unruly and willful, talented and intelligent, and could not be offended by anyone in the army.

But Li Mi never expected that Zhai Jiao would kill Li Xiuning. Why? .

Chapter 57: Kou Zhong came to Wagang, but he said that the young commander was unparalleled in the world!

"Interesting, so interesting!"

A melodious voice came from a distance, attracting everyone's attention.

Then there was the sound of horse hooves, and dust was seen in the distance. A group of figures wearing goose hats and red flying fish uniforms stood out like flames.

In an instant, he entered the Wagang military camp and appeared in front of Li Mi, Zhai Jiao, Li Xiuning and others.

"Hahaha!"

Kou Zhong, who was riding a black horse in front of him, laughed loudly, his arrogant and wanton attitude catching everyone's attention.

Wearing a black brocade dress with gold threads and a purple gold crown on his head, his face was as sharp as a knife. His aggressive eyes swept over everyone one by one, and the huge pressure was as suppressing as Mount Tai. The breathing of everyone present made them feel a little tight in their chests.

Even late-stage masters like Li Mi and Li Shentong felt uncomfortable with it. This was the tyranny of Young Marshal Kou Zhong!

"The young marshal came from afar, and it was really a mistake of my Wagang's lack of etiquette to accept him at a distance."

"My little girl is young and pampered. Wherever she offends, I still hope Haihan!"

At this time, an eight-foot figure appeared in the camp. The middle-aged man with eyes like red phoenixes, eyebrows like lying silkworms, dark skin, a broad forehead and a flat roof, plump skin and armor, looked towards Kou Zhong with a warm face. Say hello.

"Big boss!"

"father!"

Li Mi and Zhai Jiao quickly stepped forward and called softly.

Li Xiuning, Li Shentong and others also recognized that the person who came was none other than Zhai Rang, the head of the Wagang Army.

"Master Zhai has great eyesight."

"I came to Xingyang today, but I took the liberty of disturbing the Wagang Army."

"I wonder if we will be lucky enough to meet the heroes of Wagang?"

Kou Zhong smiled slightly and said calmly.

"It is my great fortune, Wagang, that the young marshal and Miss Wanwan can come to Xingyang. It is natural that they should hold a banquet."

"Jiaojiao, go and hold a banquet in person and invite the generals to the big tent."

Zhai Rang asked his daughter to make arrangements without saying a word.

"Yes, Dad!"
