Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Yu Wenxin was shocked to hear the news in the city that Li Yuanji had abandoned the army and fled, and that Liu Zhenghui was defeated and captured. He almost spat out a mouthful of blood.  Although he guessed what kind of trouble Li Yuanji would pull, he really didn't expect that Li Yuanji would be so crazy and willing to abandon the army and run away.

    At this time, the main force of Jinyang was lost, and the Sui army was approaching the city and was in danger.

    Zhao Wenke and others had no choice but to go to Yu Wenxin's house and ask Yu Wenxin to come out and take charge of the overall situation.  Yu Wenxin couldn't care less about his hatred for Li Yuanji. If they couldn't defend the city now, they would all die.

    On the one hand, Yu Wenxin ordered Zhao Wenke to strengthen the defense and strictly guard the city. On the other hand, he recruited the brave men in the city and sent them to the top of the city to defend the city.  He also recruited the major families in the city and asked them to contribute their talents.  Everyone followed Tang Gong to rebel. Once the Sui army entered the city, they would not be spared.

    Li Yuan was able to successfully raise an army in Jinyang without the support of the major families in Taiyuan. His brother-in-law Wang Yu was from the Qixian branch of the Wang family in Taiyuan.  Many families in Hedong had objections to Huang Mingyuan's method of killing the Lu family, so they actively helped Li Yuan resist the Sui army.

    But this does not make Jinyang City really impregnable.

    Huang Mingyuan has been in Hedong for many years. When he was in Hedong to quell Yang Liang's rebellion, he was kind to many families.  In particular, Feng Deyi, Fan Zigai and others massacred everyone in Hedong, which was in stark contrast to Huang Mingyuan's generosity, so Huang Mingyuan is often remembered by the people of Hedong.

    Li Yuan is a rebel. Although he has the support of aristocratic families, he cannot escape the name of thief.  Therefore, there is not much difference in influence and popular support between the two sides in Hedong.

    Zhang Wenyuan and Liu Yunfang surrounded Jinyang City. They did not attack the city directly, but waited for civil strife to occur.

    Jinyang City is a majestic city in the north. It has always been the military core to resist the barbarians in the north. The city is high and the pond is deep.  If you want to break the city, it will not be easy even if there are not many defenders in the city.

    The two men came to the city, forming more of a pressure on Jinyang City.  With this power, the Sui army's personnel in the city began to move around.

    Liu Yingxing, Sima of the Right Third Army.

    Liu Yingxing was one of the first generals to defect to Li Yuan, so although he was of low origin, he was promoted from a Yingyang Sima to a Sima of the unified army, but he did not have independent military power.

    But Liu Yingxing also has a hidden identity.  In the third year of Renshou, he served as the chief of fire under Dugu Lan. Later, he followed Dugu Lan to participate in the campaign against Yang Liang's rebellion. He was appreciated by Huang Mingyuan and was awarded the title of commander-in-chief.  Later, Huang Mingyuan left a large number of people in Hedong to fill the vacancies. Liu Yingxing was also awarded the Sima of the Chariot and Cavalry Prefecture, and later he was transferred to the Sima of Yingyang.

    Originally, there were not many possibilities for his life footprint. Being an eagle and general for the rest of his life might be his limit.  But he didn't expect that more than half a month ago, someone actually found him, saying that he was from Hebei and was sent by Duke Wei.

    Liu Yingxing was a little surprised. He was appreciated by Duke Wei at first, but not many people knew about it.  Moreover, he had not contacted Wei Gong for many years, and Wei Gong still remembered him as a nobody.

    When the other party explained his intention, Liu Yingxing quickly decided to turn to Wei Gong.  Because Liu Yingxing had been in the army for many years and met countless people, only Wei Gong was a real hero.

    Under the instruction of Beidou personnel, after Liu Yingxing secretly turned to Huang Mingyuan, he spread various news and gave great assistance to the Sui army.

    This time when the Sui army besieged the city, someone sent a message to Liu Yingxing, asking him to wait for the opportunity and persuade Zhao Wenke to defect.

    Since Li Yuanji abandoned his army and Liu Zhenghui was defeated and captured, the highest ranking military commander in the city was Zhao Wenke.  Yu Wenxin had no one to use. He was a civil servant and had no knowledge of military strategy, so he had to leave the defense of Jinyang to Zhao Wenke.

    Zhao Wenke was also a Sima of the Yingyang Prefecture, but he had always been on good terms with Li Yuan, so he became the commander-in-chief of the army.

    Liu Yingxing has known Zhao Wenke for a long time and knows who his superior is.  Zhao Wenke is a shrewd man, and he is good at protecting himself wisely. He seems to be loyal and simple, but he is a traitor and loyal, and he is not a person who will fight to the death.

    So he came to Zhao Wenke's army and said deliberately: "General, I heard that Lord Gu Zang abandoned his army and fled. You said that we would defend the country for his Li family, but they themselves ran away. What's the matter?"

    After hearing this, Zhao Wenke¡¯s expression changed several times, and then he said: ¡°Don¡¯t say this kind of thing outside, so as not to let others listen.¡±

    When Liu Yingxing heard this, he knew that Zhao Wenke was also dissatisfied, so he deliberately said: "General, don't worry, I won't say much to anyone except the general." After saying that, Liu Yingxing added, "General, it's not that I don't know how powerful it is, it's just that I don't know how to be powerful.  , This is really embarrassing, how could anyone do such a thing, they really treat us all like dogs."

    "That's Duke Tang's son."

    "But because of this, shouldn't he be able to hold on to the city? Otherwise, even the Li family doesn't care about Jinyang City. WeWhat's the point of being an unjust ghost for nothing?  If he really dies in Jinyang City, will his Li family support our wife and children?  "

    Zhao Wenke was a little silent.

    At this time Liu Yingxing said again: "General, do you think Jinyang can be defended?"

    "Why, do you think Jinyang can't be defended?"

    Liu Yingxing smiled and said with some embarrassment: "The Sui army is besieging the city in a large scale outside the city, but we are short of troops in the city. In addition, the morale of both sides is high and low. I am really worried."

    Zhao Wenke nodded.

    "This battle is not easy to fight."

    "I heard that the commander-in-chief of the Sui army was the Marquis of Xihe. He followed Duke Wei in the northern expedition against the Turks and the eastward expedition against Goguryeo. His military exploits were outstanding and rare in the world. The soldiers under his command were also elite soldiers who conquered Goguryeo and defeated the Turks."

    Hearing this, Zhao Wenke¡¯s face turned even darker.

    Zhao Wenke is not very familiar with Zhang Wenyuan¡¯s record.  But Zhang Wenyuan once served as the prefect of Changping County, and everyone had heard about how he regained power in Changping County from the aristocratic family.  Now that he heard Liu Yingxing's words, he felt that this battle was even more difficult to win.

    "Do you have any idea?"

    Liu Yingxing came to Zhao Wenke and whispered: "General, you have also seen that all the elite troops in Jinyang were taken away by Duke Tang, and the rest were destroyed by Duke Gu. Now there are only a group of old and weak people left in the city.  Sick and disabled. If we hold on, it will definitely mean death. This aunt Zanggong can give up Jinyang and escape without permission, why should we stay in Jinyang and hold on? Why don't we also take the opportunity to lead our troops and escape?"

    Zhao Wenke squinted his eyes, unable to see any change on his face.

    "If we leave, where will we go in the future? The reputation of running away from battle is not good."

    "General, we have soldiers in our hands, so we can't go anywhere. To put it bluntly, why did Duke Tang rebel in Jinyang? Isn't it because we have soldiers in our hands? Why can't we if he can?"

    Zhao Wenke shook his head and said, "How can I compare with Mr. Tang?"

    Liu Yingxing said flatteringly: "General, you don't have to be so down on yourself. Before the rebellion, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty was only the head of a pavilion in Surabaya, far away from Xiang Yu. But once he transformed into a dragon, no one can compare with him."

    Zhao Wenke lowered his head in thought and said nothing, but countless ambitions arose in his heart.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
