After Li Jing took control of Wagang Mountain, he first used an essay to criticize Yang Guang, which caused a stir in the world, causing heroes from all over the world to come to the mountain to surrender. The popularity was unprecedented among the numerous anti-Sui rebel armies. With the surge in power, some people inevitably asked Li Jing to proclaim himself king and emperor like the leaders of various rebel armies. Regardless of whether it was true or not, everyone wanted to be a founding father to add some glory. Li Jing, however, had already made up his mind. He sternly refused to claim the title of king or emperor. Instead, he named himself the "Generalissimo of Dingshi Anmin", and his men were named "Dingshi Army". They spent every day on Wagang Mountain to build up troops and gather grass and collect grain. . Although Yang Guang was arrogant, wanton, and immoral after taking the throne, he always cared about matters related to Li Jing. After learning that Li Jing had gone to Wagang Mountain, he successively ordered several troops from nearby Wagang Mountain to go and suppress them, but they were all defeated by Li Jing. Li Jing and the Dingshi Army were in vain. reputation. When Yang Guangma was furious and was preparing to recruit Zhang Xutuo, his most trusted general, to send troops, Li Jing took action one step ahead of him. He sent his recent disciple Wei Chigong as the vanguard and led 3,000 elite soldiers to attack the troops guarding the way out of Wagang Mountain. Jindi Pass. Although Yu Chigong was a fledgling general, he was extremely brave. At Jindi Pass, he used a snake spear eight feet long and a steel whip to defeat five people, including Hua Gongyi, the chief general of Jindi Pass. All the famous generals were killed in front of the formation, and they quickly took down this dangerous pass. After Li Jing captured Jindi Pass, he personally led 30,000 Dingshi army commanders and drove straight in, aiming directly at Xingyang. When the battle report reached the court, Yang Guang could not help but be shocked. He quickly ordered Zhang Xutuo to rush to Xingyang to stop the rebels, and at the same time he dispatched the famous general Pei Renji to lead 20,000 troops to assist in the battle. After Zhang Xutuo and Pei Renji joined forces. Li Jing also led the Dingshi army to the foot of Xingyang City and set up camp ten miles away from the city. This night. Qin Qiong, who was originally assigned to the general manager of Qingzhou to take care of the child, but was later seconded to his subordinate by Zhang Xutuo, was having secret conversations with his adopted brother Luo Shixin in the room. Luo Shixin is not of high stature. His shoulders, arms and legs are quite thick, his face is dark, and his eyes are one big and one small. He asked a little anxiously: "Brother, since we brothers became sworn sworn brothers, we have said Master to the left and Master to the right. Now the Master is outside the city, why don't you bring your little brother to pay homage?" Qin Qiong smiled Said: "Brother, don't be anxious. Brother Yu has already made a plan in his mind. Tomorrow will be the time for the battle between the two armies. Then you and I will pretend to be in battle, apologize to the commander in front of the battle, and then throw ourselves directly into the master's battle. That¡¯s it.¡± Luo Shixin applauded and said with a smile: ¡°That¡¯s the best. Brother, you have already said that the master is like a god. I will pay my respects when I see him. But since we want to serve the master, should we offer a contribution? As a courtesy? The commander-in-chief treats our brother well, so we can't attack him. However, the Pei family and his son have no such friendship with us, especially Pei San, who is usually very high-minded, but his younger brother has long thought that he is not good enough. It's not pleasing to the eye. It's better to" "No!" Qin Qiong said decisively, "The Pei family and his son are also generals under the commander-in-chief. What's the difference between us plotting against them and plotting against the commander-in-chief all these years? I have made some meritorious deeds, which is enough to repay the favor of the general manager and the commander. I will explain my reasons to the commander in front of the formation tomorrow, and leave happily. In the future, everyone will be their own master, and they can also fight in front of the formation in an upright manner. Feel at ease." Luo Shixin's face turned red. Just as he was about to say something, a chuckle suddenly came from outside the window. One person lowered his voice and praised: "What a Qin Shubao. It's better to be famous than to meet him. Meeting is worse than being famous!" Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin were shocked at the same time. They jumped up together, grabbed their weapons and rushed out. The two closed windows suddenly opened to the left and right, and a figure flew in lightly and landed on the ground. He waved his hands to the two brothers who were at war with each other in the room and said, "Brother Qin, don't be alarmed. Don't you know your younger brother Hou Junji?" " When Qin Qiong looked intently, he saw that the person who came was lean, with a thin waist and long arms shaped like an ape. It was Hou Junji, who was known as the "Little White Ape" in the world. This person is a disciple of Xu Hongke, his master's friend. He also brought gifts to congratulate his mother on her birthday, and he has a close friendship with me. "It turns out to be Brother Hou. I didn't know you were here" Hou Junji chuckled and said, "To be fair to Brother Qin, my younger brother is now serving under his respected master, Marshal Li, as the commander of a small scout battalion. This night I came to Xingyang on the orders of the marshal to deliver a letter to Brother Qin." After that, he took out a letter from his bag and presented it to Qin Qiong with both hands respectfully. Hearing that it was a letter from Master, Qin Qiong did not dare to neglect it. He bowed his hands to the letter and then took it with both hands. After opening it and reading it, a look of emotion appeared on his face. Early the next morning, Zhang Xutuo ordered Pei Renji to stay and guard the city after ordering the generals in the commander's office. Then he personally led his generals and 3,000 troops to fight out of Xingyang and formed a formation behind the city. Dingshijun thatHe also found out the news early. At almost the same time, Li Jing also led a group of generals and 3,000 troops out of the camp gate and formed an array opposite the Sui army. After the two formations faced each other, Zhang Xutuo rode his horse forward and shouted sternly at the opposite side: "Where is Li Jing? Come out and answer!" Upon hearing this, Li Jing ordered the generals to hold their positions, raised his mount and came to the front of the formation, and walked towards Zhang Xutuo. He cupped his hands and said, "I've heard about Zhang Shuai's name for a long time. It's a pity that we have only one side. It's a blessing to meet in front of the battle today." Zhang Xutuo looked at Li Jing for a while and saw that although he was young, he had a deep demeanor. Yuan is as immovable as a mountain. Among the famous officials and generals I have seen in my life, no one can compare with it. He also knew Li Jing's experience back then, and he couldn't help but feel sad when he thought that because of the late emperor's inexplicable dream, such an outstanding figure was forced into the opposing camp of the Sui Dynasty. Thinking of this, his voice couldn't help but soften a little: "Li Jing, I know that you have accepted some grievances in the early years, but now you should not openly raise your voice to cause chaos. If you lead the people to surrender, I am willing to use this I will plead with His Majesty on your behalf to protect your life. Are you willing to abandon the dark side and surrender to the bright side?" Li Jing shook his head and smiled: "Does Commander Zhang think that Li Jing rebelled against the Sui Dynasty just to avenge himself? I thought I was a serious threat and wanted to kill him. After I escaped with my life, I just went into exile in the rivers and lakes. The reason why I didn't raise an army to fight against the Sui Dynasty until today was really because I was ignorant of the king in Wagang. Instead of proclaiming himself emperor, he only named his voluntary soldiers the "Dingshi Army" and took the title of "Generalissimo Dingshi Anmin", just to seek justice for the people of this world who have been tortured by the late emperor! " "Zhang Xutuo is arrogant! He had been loyal to Yang Guang all his life. When he heard Li Jing's words, he was furious. He turned around and called, "Which general will capture this traitor for me?" "I'll come too!" Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin in the formation looked at each other. One on the left and one on the right took the lead in taking action. (To be continued) Chapter 340: Xingyang Storm:
