Zhang Xutuo led 20,000 elite soldiers to travel day and night, went up the canal, and quietly arrived at Fangshan.
After arriving at Fangshan, Zhang Xutuo was not in a hurry to march, but first sent troops to strangle Fangshan to prevent thieves from attacking Luokoucang.
Although he was anxious, he was not in a hurry, and years of fighting had taught him that courage can keep you alive, but impulsiveness can only kill you.
In the recklessness, every heroic generation, there are more capable people hiding in it, Zhang Xutuo knows that Zhai Rang, Li Mi can attack the Jindi Pass is not something to be taken lightly, now the thieves gather 100,000, he is only 20,000 elite soldiers, although he is not afraid at all, he can ask for careful action.
Fangshan is in the south of Yanshi Tiger Prison, and Yanshi and Tiger Prison form a triangle, and Luokoucang is in the triangle.
Most of the grain in the south of the Yangtze River is hoarded here, Luokou warehouse is the largest warehouse in the world, bandits can gather so quickly, Xingyang warehouse grain and grass is sufficient is an element, Zhang Xutuo thought of this, has decided to win steadily, this Luokou warehouse, can no longer let the bandits take away.
Xingyang City is east of Fangshan Tiger Prison, Fangshan, Tiger Prison, plus Xingyang City, and the trend of the triangle, thinking of this, Zhang Xutuo's spirit is slightly invigorated, the high wall of the Tiger Prison City is thick, the terrain is extremely concise, the soldiers are full of food, and now there is Pei Renji to guard, so that he has no worries, if there is a strange soldier at this time Thinking of this, Zhang Xutuo frowned slightly, and his eyes fell on the three generals around him from afar.
Luo Shixin, Qin Shubao, and Cheng Yanjin were all silent, and they were also looking into the distance, with silent expressions It is rare for them to be so silent, Zhang Xutuo was a little embarrassed, and said in his heart that these three people were fighting with him and were loyal, but if they continued to fight like this, they were all a little tired, let alone them.
Tiredness does not come from the body.
It's a deep sorrow in my bones.
Yang Guang does not change his policy of governing the country, this is destined to be an unwinnable war, what if he wins, Zhang Xutuo thought of this, his expression was somewhat trance-like "General, there's a spy ahead to report back."
Luo Shixin said loudly.
As soon as he rode from afar, the soldiers immediately flew off their horses and said loudly: "General Zhang, the military situation ahead is here." ” The spy submits the paperwork.
Zhang Xutuo opened his eyes and frowned, and Luo Shixin asked on the side, "General, what's wrong?"
Zhang Xutuo handed the document to Luo Shixin and sighed lightly, "There are three more counties in Xingyang County, and now in Xingyang, in addition to Xingyang City, most of the other counties have been conquered, and Xingyang is already a lonely city."
Bandits are rampant, and they even haunt the Tiger Prison.
The robbers in Henan are mostly attached to Wagang this time, and the momentum is huge.
According to the military situation at the front, there are Wang Deren, Peng Xiaocai, Meng Rang and others who are attached to make trouble, and the bandits are now more out of the front than us.
The momentum is louder and not to be underestimated. ” Luo Shixin frowned when he heard this, Wang Deren, Peng Xiaocai and Meng Rang mentioned by Zhang Xutuo were all former opponents, and they also had tens of thousands of troops to disrupt the Central Plains.
Although the three of them are not sharp now, they are all giant thieves who are making trouble, and now they are all attached to Wagang, and the land is indeed a headache.
Seeing that Zhang Xutuo was worried, Luo Shixin comforted: "The general doesn't have to worry, Xingyang."
The soldiers of the two cities of the Tiger Prison are well fed, as long as they defend quietly, the thieves must not be helpless. ” Zhang Xutuo muttered: "What I'm worried about is not this, but Xingyang is full of bandits, and most of our troops can't act in secret, but we are afraid that the bandits will flee again and cannot be eradicated."
Uncle Bao, bite the gold, what are your clever plans?"
In the past, when discussing military aircraft, Qin Shubao and Cheng Yanjin responded positively.
Today's military information came, but the two were a little absent-minded.
Hearing Zhang Xutuo's inquiry, Qin Shubao and Cheng Yanjin walked over, both shaking their heads, and Qin Shubao said, "General."
This time the bandits were in great shape.
It also occupies the Xingyang warehouse, and the grain and grass are worry-free.
We are not to be underestimated.
According to Fang Shan, follow the old routine to attack, and the thieves can be defeated. ” Cheng Yanjin also nodded, "The thieves are numerous, but the troops are not strong, and they can't resist the impact of the Great Sui elite soldiers, and I also think it's best to win steadily." ” Zhang Xutuo nodded, "Shubao, bite the gold, what you said coincides with what I think."
It's just that now the thieves are numerous, and the front is sharp, and it can't be measured by common sense, although the soldiers are good, but the losses are big" "What does the general think," the three of them asked in unison.
Zhang Xutuo said in a deep voice: "Xingyang, Fangshan, and Tiger Prison are in a triangular trend, and Xingze is behind Xingyang.
Although the thieves were strong, they did not dare to move the tiger prison for the time being, so they could only plunder near Xingyang, disperse one day earlier, and the people would be out of fire and water one day earlier.
According to my thoughts, if one person can go straight to the Tiger Prison, lead the elite soldiers there out of the city with two thousand light horses, go down the Yellow River, occupy Xingze with strange soldiers, and form a front and rear attack with us, and quickly charge behind the bandits besieging Xingyang, the enemy soldiers will panic and will be defeated. ” All three nodded, but they were all silent.
Zhang Xutuo's face was even more bitter, and he muttered: "Only one general needs to lead thousands of elite soldiers, who is worthy of this task?"
The three generals were still silent, and Zhang Xutuo was also silent.
The mountain breeze is blowing, quite cold, and the marching banner is waving in the wind, and there is a word on it, which looks like it is also lonely.
Fangshan, where 20,000 troops were stationed, suddenly became silent, and the soldiers stationed in the distance did not look at Zhang Xutuo and the others, but looked at the northeast direction with some sadness.
There, after crossing the plains, and crossing the rivers, and breaking through the bandits, they came to the place where they dreamed of it.
Zhang Xutuo brought 20,000 elite soldiers this time, almost all of them were the elite soldiers who accompanied him to the east and west.
Most of these soldiers are from Qi County, who have followed Zhang Xutuo for many years, experienced a hundred battles, and shared life and death, and have seen almost any scene.
They are not afraid of life and death, bloody bandits, they used to just protect their families and relatives, but now, their relatives are too far away.
Zhang Xutuo was silent, the three generals were silent, and the soldiers were also silent, but Zhang Xutuo was not the only one who was in the mood.
A sense of sadness welled up in his heart, which he had encountered before.
When attacking the Supreme King, there were many thieves, and the Sui army ran out of food and could not support it for a few days.

Even if you fight the goblin soldiers, if you don't have food and grass, you will definitely not be able to support it for a few days.
Zhang Xutuo, a famous general of the Great Sui, knows better than anyone that sending troops lies in the right way.
Win by chance.
At that time, he thought about it, pretended to evacuate, and led the thieves to attack, but he left people to attack to burn the grain and grass of the Supreme King.
But his plan was good, and he asked who was going.
None of the generals responded.
Later, Qin Shubao and Luo Shixin finally stood up, led the elite soldiers to attack, and met Li Jing again, and finally defeated the thieves of the Supreme King.
The three generals are all people he trusts very much, and he can't fail to hear the meaning of his words, Zhang Xutuo thought of this, and sighed lightly, "Who is it?"
Sweeping his gaze, Qin Shubao looked away.
Luo Shixin hung his head.
"If the general doesn't think I'm rude, I can go to the Tiger Prison and ask for troops."
Cheng Yanjin said suddenly.
Zhang Xutuo was slightly happy, but more sad, he didn't blame Qin Shubao and Luo Shixin, he suddenly felt guilty about them in his heart.
"Biting gold is thick and fine, and it can be a big responsibility."
Zhang Xutuo lifted his spirits, "The old man will write a letter by hand."
Biting the gold light cavalry to the tiger prison to lead the troops down the Yellow River, detour to Xingze, if it goes well, we can flank and besiege the thieves of Xingyang in four days" Zhang Xutuo squatted down, first drew the detailed deployment on the ground, and then went back to the tent to write a letter to deliver Cheng Biting Jin, and said with a smile: "Biting Jin, you shoulder a heavy responsibility, if this matter is successful, you should take the first credit." ” Cheng Yanjin laughed.
"I don't want to take credit, I just want to go back to my hometown as soon as possible after quelling the bandits earlier."
After he said this, he turned over his horse and galloped towards the direction of the Northern Tiger Prison, Zhang Xutuo looked at his back silently until he disappeared.
Baodu looked at himself, and when he saw Zhang Xutuo turning around, he looked away.
Zhang Xutuo asked strangely, "Are you all in trouble?"
Qin Shubao shook his head, but Luo Shixin asked, "General Zhang, even if you defeat Zhai Rang and Li Mi in Wagang, what can you do?"
Zhang Xutuo was slightly stunned.
It seems that this issue has never been considered.
After a long time, he said: "I just said that bandits are bandits."
Burning, killing, plundering, and doing everything, we are the soldiers of the Great Sui, and we should keep the people peaceful. ” Luo Shixin still wanted to say something, but finally changed the topic, "General, let's eat." ” Zhang Xutuo nodded, and ordered to go down to bury the pot to cook, and when the rice was cooked, Zhang Xutuo went to patrol the camp first, and saw the soldiers in a group of three and a group of five eating silently, and randomly found a group of people to come over and squatted down.
When all the soldiers saw that it was Zhang Xutuo, they stood up one after another and said in a low voice: "General" Zhang Xutuo waved his hand to let the soldiers continue to eat, took a rice bowl casually, shoveled the rice by himself, picked up the chopsticks made of tree branches, and picked up the rice with everyone.
The soldiers looked at Zhang Xutuo with admiration and respect in their eyes.
If Zhang Xutuo removed the armor and mingled among them, he would really be no different from the old peasant.
Zhang Xutuo is extremely famous, but he is really good for these soldiers.
Eating with everyone is also commonplace, and it is natural.
The soldiers regarded Zhang Xutuo as a general, as a friend, as a father, and as a brother who shared life and death Zhang Xutuo ate half a bowl of rice, and saw that there was a soldier next to him who was quite young, and he only ate a few bites of a bowl of rice, and asked softly, "Why don't you eat?"
The soldier was taken aback, and took a big gulp of food, but he ate it too quickly, and the rice choked in his throat again, and coughed repeatedly, and the rice in his mouth sprayed all over the ground.
Everyone else looked at the soldier, not afraid, but somewhat silent.
Zhang Xutuo walked over and gently patted him on the back, the soldier was flattered, put down his rice bowl, and finally stopped coughing, but his face was flushed, "General" Halfway through his words, he stretched out his chopsticks to pick up the rice grains on the ground, and they were delivered to his mouth one by one, and there was only recognition in the eyes of others, and there was no surprise.
Zhang Xutuo actually reached out and picked up a grain of rice on the ground with chopsticks, put it in his mouth, and chewed it slowly.
The soldier wanted to cough again, but finally held back and said, "General, I've eaten this." ” Zhang Xutuo smiled, "It's okay, you're very good, you know that this grain can't be wasted."
After he finished speaking, his eyes were cloudy, and a smile appeared on his sad face, "You are all good." ” The eyes of the soldiers were also full of tears, you look at me, I look at you, and I look at Zhang Xutuo, excited and inexplicable Zhang Xutuo slowly stood up, nodded, and turned around to leave.
A soldier suddenly shouted, "General, can I ask you a word?"
"You say."
Zhang Xutuo turned around and looked at the soldier like a father, full of encouragement.
"We have been away from our hometown for too long, when will we turn back" The soldier was full of courage, and when he saw Zhang Xutuo's very tolerant gaze, he couldn't speak, "I really want to go home, and I miss my relatives very much." ” He said a few words.
I used all my strength, but there were already tears in my eyes.
The soldiers on the side were also silent, some looked at Zhang Xutuo, some looked at the soldiers who spoke, some hung their heads, and some had cold tears flowing silently on their faces.
They follow Zhang Xutuo and are invincible, but after all, they are also human beings and have feelings.
Missing their helpless parents, their long-awaited wives, and their children waiting to be fed, the soldiers spoke the hearts of too many people here.

Zhang Xutuo didn't blame, just sighed lightly, "The old man is sorry for you" The soldier was shocked and fell to his knees with a clatter.
Knocked on the ground, "General, I'm not dissatisfied, you haven't been sorry for us."
If you hadn't opened a warehouse to release grain, the people of Qi County didn't know how much they would starve to death, our land life, our family's life was given by the general, the general's great kindness, we will never forget."
"The great kindness of the general, we will never forget."
The soldiers around him fell to their knees.
Said in unison.
With tears in his eyes, Zhang Xutuo reached out to help the soldiers, one by one, as if he was looking at his own children.
Qi Jun opened the warehouse to release grain, and when this word flashed in Zhang Xutuo's mind, it felt very far away, but it was like it was in front of him.
That year, Yang Guang went on an expedition to Goryeo, and Qi County was originally extremely taxed, but it was also a famine, and grain and rice were expensive.
Or even for the same amount of copper coins.
The people gnawed tree bark, ate grass roots, and lived and died, Zhang Xutuo couldn't wait to explain the situation to Yang Guang, and the people couldn't wait either.
Zhang Xutuo did not wait for Yang Guang's holy decree.
It has been decided to open a warehouse and release grain.
The officials of Qi County all knew that the saint was extremely suspicious, and the crime of opening a position without permission was equivalent to complicity in rebellion.
They all advised Zhang Xutuo not to act rashly, so as not to provoke the disaster of death.
Zhang Xutuo said in front of the officials of Qi County, the saint is too far away, if he asks for an order, he will come and go, and he doesn't know how many people will starve to death.
If the saint blames him, the old man bears it on his shoulders, and it is not a pity to die.
It is precisely because of Zhang Xutuo's persistence and treatment that countless people of Qi County were saved from starvation, and because Zhang Xutuo fought bravely and defended the rear of Yang Guang's expedition to Goryeo, after Yang Guang knew about it, instead of blaming, he appeased and rewarded Zhang Xutuo.
Most of these soldiers are in Qi County, and their parents, brothers and sisters are alive because of this, and they are naturally grateful to Zhang Xutuo, and the rice that the soldiers coughed and spewed out was too funny to pick up and eat in the eyes of ordinary people, but how to know that these grains of rice were really more valuable than gold in the minds of the soldiers.
Zhang Xutuo helped all the soldiers up one by one, and sighed: "We have indeed been away for a long time, and it is normal for you to care about your family. ” Everyone said in unison: "General Xie" Although Zhang Xutuo is old, his waist is still straight, but his expression is even more sad, and the corners of his mouth are stained with grains of rice, and he swallows it gently, feeling full of bitterness "Zhang Xutuo is going to fight with Zhai Rang and Li Mikai."
Xiao Buyi looked at the slightly yellow leaves on the tree, and said softly: "I heard that this time the tile gang is huge, and it is extraordinary, but I am afraid that there will be another tragedy." ” "This is a good thing, we occupy Xiangyang City, although the traffic is cut off now, but the news will reach Yang Guangdi's ears one day, if Zhang Xutuo has time, he will not come to beat you.
But now, we have some buffer time.
Pei Beiren was beside Xiao Buyidi, whispering softly.
Xiao Buyi's face was a little sad, "No matter what, I always respect Zhang Xutuo and don't want to be his enemy." ” "Even if he wants to kill you," Pei Bei asked softly.
Xiao Buyi smiled bitterly: "If he wants to kill me, I will plan to kill him, this is a matter of course."
But in hindsight, I thought about it, he didn't see what he did wrong, and I thought I was doing well, but the fault was only wrong, we had different positions, and we were born at the wrong time, otherwise I might be very good friends with him, and I like to make friends with people like him. ” Pei Bei said on the side: "But if he wants to kill you, I will kill him, but it's a pity that I can't kill him, but it's a pity that I don't have Miss Pei's strength, if she comes to the layout, it is not impossible to kill Zhang Xutuo."
But Zhang Xutuo is a pillar of the Great Sui, how could Miss Pei kill him?"
In a few simple words, Pei Bei said categorically, Xiao Buyi was full of emotion, and gently held her hand, "We don't need to do it now, Zhang Xutuo is already the enemy of the bandits all over the world, I don't want you to take risks."
Besides, in this world, no matter how high the martial arts are.
It's no match for people's ingenuity, I don't know how Zhang Xutuo can lose" Xiao Buyi had doubts in his tone, but Pei Bei didn't pay attention to his deeper meaning, nodded and said: "I also hope that it is Zhang Xutuo who loses, after all, if Wagang wins, Zhang Xutuo will be defeated, Xingyang will be defeated, Jiangnan and Dongdu Dao will be sealed, and Yang Guangren will be in Jiangnan, but he can't turn back at all."
He was trapped in Jiangnan.
The chaos in the world has been completed, and he has no power to return to the sky, but Zhang Xutuo may not necessarily lose" The corners of Xiao Buyi's mouth sneered, "Zhang Xutuo's win or loss is none of our business, even if he wins Wagang, he is too far away from Xiangyang to take care of us." ” "Then you asked Xu Shiji to go to Wagang at the beginning.
Are you already ready to let Zhai let you let Zhai Rang go, have you taken into account the current situation and you know that Zhang Xutuo is going to kill you, so you have already prepared to let Zhai Rang and Li Mi contain and trap Zhang Xutuo, but you can have enough time to show up, otherwise Zhang Xutuo will keep chasing you, and you won't have time to show at all.
Pei Bei said suddenly, her expression a little strange.
Xiao Buyi smiled bitterly: "You can't help but think that I am too terrible, how can I think about it so long-term, if I am like that, I am no different from God, I am just because good people have good rewards." ” Pei Bei looked into the distance.
He said softly: "It is a reason that good people have good rewards, but more importantly, because you are a heavenly machine, of course, heavenly machine thinks more than anyone else." ” Xiao Buyi was silent, many people tacitly knew about the matter of Tianji, but they rarely took the initiative to mention this matter to Xiao Buyi like Pei Bei.
Xiao Buyi pondered for a long time, "Belle, I really don't know how to explain it to you" Pei Bei laughed, "Brother Xiao, you don't have to explain.
I know you always have a reason for what you do.
Although I say that you are too mother-in-law, maybe I just like your mother-in-law, life is so wonderful that it is often impossible to explain.
I don't care who you are, I just know.
All my life.
Won't be separated from you again, except" Speaking of which.
Pei Bei stopped talking, quickly turned her head to look at Xiao Buyi, and saw that he was also looking at herself, and said with a shy smile: "Don't talk about the world, it's okay to talk about the wind and snow."
"How to talk" "Play the harp to the cow."
Both of them laughed, rarely relaxed and happy.

Xiao Buyi and Pei Bei are dressed in casual clothes at the moment, traveling side by side in Xiangyang, enjoying a rare warm time.
The fiery summer passed quietly, and the strong murderous aura of the Great Sui Central Plains brought a slight chill to the whole summer.
The golden autumn looks refreshing and pleasant, full of harvest joy, the people of Xiangyang City rushed to tell each other, now Xiangyang City has a good general, and the county guard re-promulgated the Juntian order, rent and Yong, and this year the tax is all exempt, which in the minds of the people, General Xiao is even more powerful than the emperor.
In fact, many people don't believe it, but they don't want to disbelieve it, when the bandits come, they burn, kill, and plunder, and the people are not happy.
The harvest is already not good, and if the government urges it again, it is estimated that too many people will have to take risks and join the ranks of bandits.
But the emperor didn't speak for too long, General Xiao announced that all taxes were exempted, and the county guard also complied, and began to gather the people again, and sent envoys to plough cattle and divide the land according to the head, and the people in the streets and alleys cheered, as if they were celebrating a festival.
Everyone was carnival, but they didn't notice that it was the person around them who gave them happiness, Xiao Buyi now felt that he was actually very happy.
Under the blue sky, white clouds were drifting, and Xiao Buyi and Pei Bei had been walking for a while.
The two of them don't talk much, they both enjoy this feeling of tranquility, and only those who have walked in the bloody wind know the preciousness of this tranquility.
With a faint sigh, Pei Bei suddenly said, "Brother Xiao, how long have we not walked side by side like this?"
Xiao Buyi turned her head to look at her white jade-like cheeks, Pei Bei didn't look back, but her face was flushed with a faint redness.
The longer she and Xiao Buyi stayed there, the more obvious the shyness became.
Xiao Buyi suddenly laughed, "You have been with Qiaoxi for a long time, and her shyness seems to have been transmitted to you." ” Pei Bei gritted her teeth lightly, wanting to stare at Xiao Buyi, but she didn't have the courage she had at the beginning, she also felt that she had changed a lot, "No woman likes to think about fighting and killing all day long, Brother Xiao, remember, you said you wanted to marry me" Xiao Buyi did not hesitate, "Yes, I said that I would marry you, and I would marry you when we meet again, but" "But I didn't agree" Pei Bei smiled: "Actually, I have a hundred willingness, a thousand willingness" When she said this, her face was flushed, and there was shame in her eyes, Xiao Buyi almost couldn't believe that she was the Bei Pei who was surprising in the grassland and was competing with Lishan Fei.
"I know what Brother Xiao said, I will definitely fulfill it, but I still didn't promise you right away, do you know why" Without waiting for Xiao Buyi to answer, Pei Bei had already said faintly: "Because I think it's unfair to anyone, especially to Qiaoxi and Sister Meng Chen."
Brother Xiao, I know, I met you late, and you are also difficult to let go of them, I have been hesitating, I feel that I have robbed other people's things, precious things" "Do you compare me to something," Xiao Buyi laughed.
"You are not a thing," Pei Bei regained her cunning, her eyes were full of smiles, "In my heart, you are Brother Xiao who will always be with me, life and death will never give up, and you will never be separated."
She had actually said these words many times in her heart, and this time she said it, naturally, Xiao Buyi was full of emotion, and Pei Bei said: "If it was in the past, I didn't feel guilty about robbing you over, but I've been with you for a long time, and I've been with Sister Qiaoxi for a long time, and it's a cruel and selfish thing for me to snatch you over now, so I'm going to wait, and wait for you to marry us together, which makes me less sorry for Qiaoxi, Brother Xiao, promise me, okay":
