    ps: Thanks to Dan Danyan for the tip.  Late at night, under Wuxiang City, a group of sergeants were calling the city at the south gate.  The officers on duty did not dare to neglect and quickly reported to the patrolling general Li Shaohong.  Li Shaohong was resting at the foot of the city. After hearing the news, he immediately went to the city. When he came up, he saw nearly a hundred sergeants waiting outside the south gate with lanterns and torches.  "Whose soldiers?" Li Shaohong asked.  The officer on duty at the south gate quickly reported: "His Royal Highness the King of Han's soldiers are the Erlang of the An family." Li Shaohong lay on the battlements and looked down, and saw that the leader was none other than An Chongjie's younger brother An Chongmeng, and his heart tightened.  , opened his mouth and asked: "An Erlang? This is Li Shaohong, why did he come back at night?" An Chongmeng raised his head and said loudly: "General Li, the battle ahead is very tight. His Highness the King of Han asked me to come quickly for help. Please hurry up.  "Open the city!" Li Shaohong asked the officer on duty to put down the sling, and then went down the tower. When he came to the city gate, he saw An Chongmeng and the sergeants swarming in.  Li Shaohong asked: "An Erlang, is the war not going well?" An Chongmeng urged the sergeants to enter the city and said: "General Li, the Yan army is fierce and stubborn, and the battle is not easy to fight. Xiaoyazi defeated Shi Deng Shanxi and was defeated.  The enemy captured him." Li Shaohong was shocked: "Xiao Yazi was captured? How could it be so?" Li Shaohong was not surprised. Li Congke was known as "Xiao Yazi" and was brave enough to pursue "Yazi" in the old Hedong Army.  "General Li Cunxu, it is not surprising that he was defeated. Li Shaohong had heard about it before, but with Li Congke's ability, he still had the ability to lead his troops to fight a bloody path among thousands of troops. Why was he captured by the enemy?"  An Chongmeng did not answer, but asked Lian Sheng: "Where are Prince Zheng and Prince Jin now? Have they rested? I want to meet the two highnesses immediately!" Li Shaohong asked curiously: "An Er, you didn't see the two highnesses on the way?"  An Zhongmeng was stunned: "What? Your Highnesses are not here?" Li Shaohong asked doubtfully: "Your Highnesses personally led the army south a few days ago. You should have seen them on the way" He suddenly became suspicious, and then  I felt that An Zhongmeng's face looked a little strange under the light of the torch. Looking at the more than a hundred sergeants entering the city, it seemed that they were not entering the city, but were approaching the brothers guarding the city gate.  So he couldn't help but put his hand on the scabbard and asked: "An Er, which way did you take when you came back?" A sergeant behind An Chongmeng rushed to Li Shaohong in a few steps, stood next to An Chongmeng and smiled: "Li Shaohong  , Do you know a certain family?" Li Shaohong took a closer look and was suddenly struck by lightning. Who is this person if it's not Li Cunxu?  Before Li Shaohong could open his mouth, Li Cunxu shouted: "Do it!" The sword struck down like lightning, Li Shaohong's head flew up, and blood danced all over the sky from his bare neck.  Following Li Cunxu¡¯s order.  More than a hundred sergeants who entered the city rushed to both sides and hacked to death all the more than ten defenders guarding the gate.  By then, a hundred soldiers divided into two groups, followed An Chongmeng along the corridor to climb the city, and fought towards the tower; they followed Li Cunxu and rushed inward to the north gate.  Wuxiang City is small, with only two gates in the north and south. After capturing the north gate, Wuxiang City can be controlled.  After An Chongmeng led his sergeants to the south gate.  He dispersed the defenders who were caught off guard, and then held a torch and swung it from side to side on the city gate tower.  Between the heels, a long dragon like a river of lights emerged from the distance and quickly approached Wu Xiang.  It didn't take long.  The shouts of killing shook the sky, and Li Xiaoxi took the lead and led the army into the city.  Li Cunxu quickly came to the north gate with dozens of personal guards. At this moment, earth-shattering shouts were heard from the south gate. The officers and soldiers guarding the north gate were looking to the south in confusion.  I saw dozens of sergeants rushing towards me viciously.  The officer shouted: "Stop! The north gate is closed at night, no trespassing! Which army are you from?" Li Cunxu didn't say a word, and chopped off the officer with his head.  The officer was already prepared and immediately drew his sword to resist.  The blades met, and a harsh metallic sound erupted, sending sparks flying everywhere.  After the blow, the officer's right arm was sore and numb. He tried to swing the sword again, but he couldn't muster the energy.  Li Cunxu was extremely talented. He could shoot a one-stone bow at the age of eleven. Now he could shoot a four-stone bow. After the deaths of Li Cunxiao and Kang Junli, Li Cunxu ranked first in martial arts among the Hedong Army. How could an ordinary officer be his opponent?  , under his fierce strength, my whole body felt numb and weak.  The second knife came at him as fast as thunder. The officer only had time to blink his eyelids before he was slashed into two ends.  The two sergeants behind him rushed in front of him and slashed at Li Cunxu with their swords.  Li Cunxu flipped his left hand, grabbed the knife-holding arm of the man, and pushed hard on his waist and abdomen. The sergeant was thrown out of his hand and flew more than ten feet away, unable to get up.  Li Cunxu took advantage of the situation and turned to avoid the sword of another sergeant. He struck the sword directly into the soldier's abdomen with his right hand. At the same time, he kicked forward and rushed up against the soldier, chasing him behind him.  The five or six people who came over were pushed and fell to the ground. ?The general showed his power, and Li Cunxu's personal guards rushed forward like tigers, killing the defenders at the north gate in the blink of an eye.  There was a bang on the city tower, and hundreds of defenders walked down the corridor to the city, trying to recapture the north gate, but Li Cunxu killed three people in a row.  Some of the defenders had recognized Li Cunxu and exclaimed: "It's General Yazi!" The general guarding the north gate was Li Sizhao's general Tang Li. Tang Li also saw Li Cunxu's face clearly and couldn't help but be inexplicably horrified, uttering words of panic.  The voice said: "Quick! Quick! Release the arrow! Quick" A group of archers picked up their bows and buckled the strings. A dense rain of arrows shot at Li Cunxu, but they were blocked by Li Cunxu's bodyguards with a shield formation.  Li Cunxu shouted: "Charge!" The shield formation pressed in the direction of Tang Li. Li Cunxu raised his sword behind him and laughed loudly: "Tang, if you hadn't been behind with your tongue like a locust, how could Li Sizhao dare to commit betrayal today?"  I'll take your life now!" Tang Li's face turned pale as he shouted at the sergeant and stepped forward to resist.  But Li Cunxu had a reputation for being vicious, and ordinary soldiers were already aware of it. Now they saw that he was killing people like a piece of grass, so they dared not come forward to die, so they all ducked to both sides, exposing Tang Li.  Tang Li turned around and wanted to run, but was blocked by the crowd behind him. Li Cunxu jumped out of the shield formation, strode into the crowd with long strides, lifted Tang Li out like a chicken, and slapped him with both hands. Tang Li choked his head on the ground, and his skull was broken.  All broken, dead!  Li Cunxu stood in the crowd of defenders, holding a knife in one arm, pointing around, and sneered: "I am Li Yazi. I have regained Wuxiang today. Who else dares to try my blade!" Under Li Cunxu's threatening gaze,  In the middle, the defenders dropped their weapons one by one, knelt down on one knee, and said one after another: "General Yazi, I am willing to surrender!" Not long after taking the North Gate, Li Xiaoxi sent someone to invite Li Cunxu, saying that he had caught him  Zhang Gui, the governor of Xizhou.  Li Cunxu arranged the defense of the north gate and rushed to the Wuxiang County Government Office. Li Xiaoxi, Guo Chongtao, Ji Wenyun, Zhang Jingshao, Jie Muli, An Chongmeng and others had already arrived. There was another person sitting there, but he had just been persuaded to surrender by Guo Chongtao.  Zhang Gui.  Zhang Gui was blocked by Li Xiaoxi in the county government office. Before she even had the silk ribbons on her armor tied, she was tied up tightly by the Youyan security forces who rushed in.  He was different from Li Shaohong and Tang Li. Li Shaohong and Tang Li were very happy for the independence of the three kings, but from the bottom of his heart, he did not want Hedong to split. On that day, Li Cunxu was blocked by Zhang Gui's troops when he fled from Jinyang to Luzhou.  , if Zhang Gui had not released him, Li Cunxu would probably not have been able to escape.  Therefore, when Guo Chongtao saw that he had captured Zhang Gui, he begged Li Xiaoxi to release him and personally persuaded Zhang Gui to surrender. Zhang Gui immediately agreed.  As soon as Zhang Gui saw Li Cunxu, he immediately knelt down and saluted: "Your HighnessZhangsinner" Li Cunxu supported him with both hands: "Prince Zhang, please get up quickly. There is no need to mention the past. No wonder Governor Zhang  Furthermore, without the noble support of Governor Zhang, I would not be alive today. From now on, Governor Zhang would not have to call me 'His Royal Highness'.  When everyone arrived, they immediately reported the military situation. If there was any unclear information, Zhang Gui, who was sitting there, made up for it one by one.  It turns out that after Li Congke was defeated and captured, Li Siyuan reduced his military strength in Shiyu. The news spread to Wuxiang, which made Li Sizhao and Zhou Dewei deeply depressed.  They suggested to Li Siyuan that they hope that Li Siyuan would withdraw to Wuxiang and watch the battle at Gaoping before making any other decisions.  However, Li Siyuan was still hoping that An Zhong would send out surprise troops to save the war, but he would not raise his troops to retreat, so he rejected Li Sizhao and Zhou Dewei's proposals for various reasons, and made his situation even more dangerous, even saying that it was already over.  Once bitten by the enemy, there is no way to retreat.  Li Sizhao was very angry and wanted to stop supplying Li Siyuan and force him to evacuate Shiyu, but was stopped by Zhou Dewei, who was equally angry but not irrational.  According to Zhou Dewei, the reason why Hedong has reached this stage is because of the suspicion of the old Jin King Li Keyong, but the actions of the three are not blameless.  No matter who is right or wrong, as the world is in chaos, Li Siyuan and the two of them are from the Hedong line after all. If they want to stand in this troubled world, they must protect and help each other and work together. Otherwise, how will they deal with the oppression of King Liang after Yan is destroyed?  ?  Zhou Dewei suggested that we should not just watch Li Siyuan's defeat in Xiangyuan. Since Li Siyuan's situation is not good, we should simply go to support him, not only to support him, but also to support him vigorously.  What Zhou Dewei meant was to simply concentrate all the main forces, storm Luzhou, and take advantage of the stalemate between the main forces of the Yan army in Gaoping to capture the entire Luzhou with one blow.  Luzhou blocked Fukouxing, the main road leading to Hebei. When King Liang wanted to attack Hebei, he had to look at the faces of the three brothers, so that they could stand upright in front of King Liang.  In the end, Li Sizhao was persuaded by Zhou Dewei to mobilize the main force of his elite troops and headed towards Shiyu, leaving Zhang Gui, Li Shaohong and Tang Li to guard Wuxiang.  This is what happened in the past, and it is also the main reason why Li Xiaoxi and Li Cunxu were able to capture Wuxiang so easily.    The capture of Wuxiang means that the entire Three Kings coalition army is wrapped between Wuxiang and Xiangyuan. The situation of the Yan army can be said to be excellent. Now it depends on how to eat more than 50,000 people in the next step.  In this regard, Guo Chongtao made a suggestion: seal off Wuxiang to prevent military information from being leaked!  Later, it also included several plans, and the plot was so big that it was beyond imagination!  But such a big plan was obviously not something that the few people in Wuxiang could decide, so Li Xiaoxi sent people to quickly return from the Zhuozhang Valley Trail and report to Zhou Kan, the interim commander-in-chief of the Luzhou battlefield.
