Chapter 501

The emperor looked at the rebels retreating like the tide and breathed a long sigh of relief. His face was more and more relieved and pleased: "I've been worried before. I'm afraid... I'm afraid I can't wait for this day. Let Li Yuanshan have done harm to the three people in the Northwest for three years. I'm sorry, but I didn't leave it to the crown prince. I'm stealing God's time now. It's worth a lot of pride to steal one more day."

"Your Majesty has stopped taking medicine these days, and your body is getting better and better day by day."

Su Buwei hung his head and said.

The emperor smiled: "Didn't I say that although the northwest is poor and desolate, and the climate is cold, it is clean here. I remember reading the documents of the household department in recent years. In the Sui Dynasty, the number of people in the three roads in the northwest who died of various diseases and plagues is the least, and there are almost no diseases and disasters. When the plague was rampant in the south of the Yangtze River more than 20 years ago, many rich families came to the northwest to take refuge. In fact, this place is very beautiful Good. Medicine... I won't take it any more and I won't read the memorial anymore. Since I'm enjoying the stolen time, it's a sin to spend all my time on it. I've made many decisions over the years. This decision is not against my heart and is most worthy of myself. "

He stretched out his hand and asked Su Buwei to help him stand up: "go back. The smell of blood has floated over. I don't want to smell it. The victory or defeat has been divided. There's no need to watch it any more."

"Your Majesty, Hou Wenji is back."

Su Buwei said low.

"Let him go directly to Jin Shixiong. He has almost understood the details of the rebels over the past year. Even if the trouble in the northwest is leveled, Hou Wenji will stay in the Northwest for a while to help Jin Shixiong clean up the three roads in the northwest. He has more hands than anyone in arresting people and handling cases."

"Your Majesty has lost him?"

"Gone, he knows why I didn't see him. Over the past year, he has been thinking purely about working for me. If I don't make it clear, it doesn't mean I don't know. Let him take care of himself. Don't mistake himself because he is smart."

"The maidservant will send someone to tell him."

"Well"

The Emperor gave a sound and walked back slowly. He looked around at the scenery and smiled all the time. But Su Buwei knew that no one could really touch the emperor's mind. When he smiled, he might not be in a good mood.

After Shi Lei led his men to escape, the former rebel army collapsed first, and the rebel soldiers who lost their command bumped around like flies with their heads off. Although Li Yuanshan used the arrow array to stop the defeat from attacking the array, because all the arrangements of the Sui army were aimed at his previous tactics and were controlled by others, the collapse still spread uncontrollably. The two wings were destroyed one after another The Sui army was defeated and general Zhou Dingguo died in the chaos. Prince Yi Li yuankuo, who despised the enemy, rushed forward and was trapped by the Sui army. His personal soldiers protected him, rushed left and right, and managed to break out of the siege. But when he looked up, he found that he had bumped into the middle army of the Sui army. After being trapped again, he had to kneel down and surrender.

After the heavy cavalry was blocked, the defeat of the rebels could no longer be reversed.

Under the protection of about 60000 or 70000 infantry, Li Yuanshan retreated to Xiping city and fought while walking. At the beginning, Jin Shixiong's men and horses died in the hands of youxiaowei on the ground of Manchu flag. At this time, how could Jin Shixiong easily let Li Yuanshan go? He rolled forward with the Chinese army brigade himself and didn't care about the rebels who knelt down and surrendered all the way.

Later, Li Yuanshan's people ran in front, followed by the Sui army, the rebels behind the Sui army, and the Sui army behind the rebels. The distance from the decisive battle to Xiping city was only 20 miles, which was a mess. The people and horses of both sides were entangled together, but there were few more fights, and they all focused on running forward.

General Yang Youzhi took the Sui army to clean up the mess behind him. He was more than ten miles away from Jin Shixiong's men.

In order to hold back the pursuers behind, Li Yuanshan constantly abandoned one after another. Later, he ordered him to stay to stop Jin Shixiong's team. After understanding his situation, he simply didn't even fight. He threw his weapons aside and squatted on the ground. As expected, the Sui army led by Jin Shixiong didn't care about them and still bit Li Yuanshan's rear team.

Yang Youzhi, who gathered the prisoners with more than 30000 people, later had to ask the emperor to send people to help him. The prisoners gathered were more than 100000, and his team was a little busy.

Seeing that it was getting closer and closer to Xiping City, Li Yuanshan kept urging the team to accelerate. The infantry company ran for 20 miles in fear and was already exhausted. When finally saw Xiping City, many people cried excitedly.

"Who will guard the city when you leave the city?"

Li Yuanshan asked song Qian about the meeting.

Song Qian hurriedly said, "when I left the city, I handed over thousands of people and horses guarding the city to general Lei Tai."

Li Yuanshan didn't remember this man in his impression, but it's nothing to think about it. His team expanded too fast. Don't mention a general with thousands of people, even a general with tens of thousands of rebels. Li Yuanshan also didn't remember his appearance and name.

"Send someone to let him open the gate!"

Li Yuanshan said loudly.

"Ah?"

Song Qian was stunned for a moment, and then responded: "no... when he left the city, he told him that he must not close the gate!"

Hearing this sentence, Li Yuanshan's face suddenly turned white. He fiercely reined in the war horse and looked up at the wall. He didn't notice before. At this time, after looking carefully, he found that there was no trace of the garrison in Xiping city!

"No, the thunder platform abandoned the city and escaped!"

Song Qian's face changed greatly and hurriedly ordered, "he must have escaped from the north gate, and then asked people to close the south gate for fear of being found. Your majesty... It was my minister's negligence. I didn't expect that this Lei Tai would abandon the city and flee."

"There's no time to pay attention to these. Maybe the gate hasn't resisted. Send someone to push it!"

His own soldiers immediately rushed towards the city gate with a team of people, and at this time, the Sui army behind them was less than a mile away from them. Hundreds of rebel soldiers rushed to the city gate. They worked together to push the city gate. Then they found that the city gate was not dead, and a burst of cheers broke out. Li Yuanshan breathed a long sigh of relief and urged the war horse to take people into the city immediately.

……

……

After the city gate was opened, the empty street immediately appeared in front of the people. Where can we see the shadow of the soldiers left behind in Xiping city. The rebel flags were lost everywhere, as well as clothes, armor and weapons. I think they were discarded by the rebels guarding the city when they fled. They dare not wear rebel uniforms and armor, nor dare they escape with weapons. They should be afraid of being caught by the Imperial Army in the future.

"I......"

Li Yuanshan opened his mouth and didn't know what to say. When he entered the city, he looked at the empty city and felt a pain in his heart. This feeling of betrayal was like a knife cutting back and forth in his heart. First Shi Lei fled, and then all the rebels left behind in Xiping City ran away. At this time, Li Yuanshan had the illusion of waking up from a dream. The events of the previous years are vivid, but they suddenly become untrue like a spring and autumn dream.

"Get into town"

Song Qian would urge the rebels behind him to hurry into the city. He could not allow everyone to come in. The last soldiers had been stuck by the Sui army. If they were waiting for them, they could only put the Sui army into Xiping.

The hundred and ten people in the advanced city pushed open the gate and made way for the road. The cavalry protecting Li Yuanshan immediately swarmed in. About four or five hundred people came in. Li Yuanshan ordered the archers to hurry up to the wall to defend. Just then, a loud noise came from the city gate, followed by wails and curses.

Li Yuanshan immediately looked back and his pupils contracted in an instant!

Somehow, the Qianjin gate on the city gate suddenly came down. The heavy stone gate blocked the city gate hole in an instant. The soldiers who had no time to dodge were pressed below and turned into meat and mud in an instant. The rebels outside couldn't get in and began to shout and curse wildly, while the people in the city were shocked and pale at what had happened.

At this time, a big flag was erected on the city wall and shook open in the wind. The big Sui characters on the strong red war flag made people tremble. With the big flag, countless soldiers appeared on the city wall, and they had opened their bowstrings and aligned with hundreds of rebels in the city.

When Li Yuanshan saw this scene, he felt his heart stopped beating.

Song Qian would be so frightened that he cried out, but he couldn't hold it and fell off the horse's back.

The soldiers on the city wall were wearing leather armor of the Sui Dynasty and holding a hard bow in their hands. They were full and waited for an order. At this time, the rebels gathered near the city gate all had a feeling of being stared at by the God of death. No one doubts that as long as the soldiers loosen their bowstrings, the chains of death will pull them into hell.

"Your Majesty, rush to the city and out of the north gate!"

Song Qian, who fell to the ground, would struggle to stand up and shout, because his voice became hoarse and ugly. But just before he could react after he shouted Li Yuanshan, a large group of cavalry suddenly poured out of the streets of the city and soon gathered around to block the rebels near the city gate.

When they saw the cavalry appear, all the rebels were scared to death.

Those cavalry were not wearing the uniform and armor of the Sui army, and many even wore bare arms. They held a one and a half meter long saber in their hands, and the big black braid at the back of their heads showed their identity.

"Barbarians in northern Liaoning!"

Someone fell to the ground in fear and threw the horizontal knife in his hand aside.

The cavalry in northern Liaoning stopped their horses and formed a semicircular array to block all the rebels. Behind the rebels were sealed by the Qianjin gate. In front of them were the barbarians of northern Liao who killed people without blinking. The city wall was the Sui army already in full battle. No matter how you look, there was no way to live.

Li Yuanshan didn't find a figure he knew in the northern Liao cavalry opposite. He turned to look at the wall, and then saw a strange young man under the fierce red flag. The man stood there with no weapon in his hand. Although he was dozens of meters away, Li Yuanshan still felt the cold in his eyes, which was the murderous spirit that the young man did not hide or suppress.

Li Yuanshan didn't know why the Sui army on the city wall and the barbarians in the northern Liao suddenly appeared, but just because of the emergence of the cold horse in the northern Liao, he immediately guessed the origin of these people. Only in the Sui army on langrushan can there be cavalry in the northern Liao Dynasty.

But Xiping city and langrushan are thousands of miles apart. Why do these people suddenly appear here?!

"Put down your weapons!"

The archers on the wall shouted loudly. The rebels looked at each other and didn't know who lost the weapons first. Then everyone threw the weapons far away for fear of provoking the attack of those archers.

Li Yuanshan watched the young man in black walk slowly down from the city wall, but he couldn't find any impression in his mind. He doesn't have the slightest sense of familiarity with the young man. This man must have never appeared in his past life, but why is the chill in his eyes so strong? That's hate. Li Yuanshan felt cold on his back.

"Who are you?"

He looked at the young man and asked.

"A pawn of fan gubian army"

The handsome young man replied seriously, but Li Yuanshan didn't react for a moment. A few seconds later, he was suddenly surprised, and then subconsciously pulled the horse back a few steps.

"Solution?!"

The young man nodded: "I didn't expect you to remember the name. It's very good... Very good... Especially good. Otherwise, I have to explain who I am, trouble."
