The thing that the court feared the most finally happened.

Emperor Li Shi's original clever plan was all reduced to squinting: Li Cheng was detained by Li Xilie as soon as he arrived at the inn outside Xiangyang City.

Then Li Cheng was taken to the Xiangyang City Schoolyard. Li Xilie stood tall on the altar, with Huaixi soldiers on both sides. Li Cheng was still brave. Although he knew that Li Xilie had rebelled, he wanted to delay time and disrupt the other party's subordinates, he lied to him and said, "The emperor asked me to work hard, why did this?"

Li Xilie on the altar sneered, and several Huaixi soldiers began to search for Li Cheng's body, and soon searched out the seals and texts that the emperor entrusted as the governor of Johor Nan. Huaixi General Dong Shiming read aloud in public.

"Li Xilie, the emperor has 300,000 yuan in Yangdi to reward you, so why do you need to rebel?" Li Cheng, who was held down tightly, accused Li Xilie angrily.

"Now the emperor breaks the rules first. He has been the official before, and he has been rewarded with the imperial court without any effort to get a military soldier, a bow and an arrow. It is all up to our soldiers in Huaining Army to fight bloody battles. I want to win the six states of Liang Chongyi, so the emperor breaks his promise. Don't blame us for being unrighteous!" Li Xilie pressed his sword and stood up to retort.

"The rules in the world are the greatest."

"I came from the north and only knew the rules of Heshuo, but never heard of the rules of the emperor."

"The emperor wants you to recruit envoys for Ziqing. If you destroy Li Na, all the fifteen states of Ziqing will belong to you."

Li Xilie laughed to the sky, "I will destroy Liang Chongyi now, and I will not gain anything at all. If I destroy Li Na later, I will only die without a place to bury him. If you wait for the nonsense, you can only deceive the child."

"The rebels, the imperial Shen Ce army has tens of thousands of elite troops, and has been stationed in Yangdi. Your Majesty also ordered Jia Dan, the governor of Shannan West Road, Cao Wanggao, the governor of Jingnan West Road, Cui Kuan, the governor of Hunan Observation, Li Jian, the governor of Eyue Observation, and Zhang Boyi, the governor of Jiangnan West Road, to surround the surrounding areas. In addition, there is also Gui Guan Liu Yan who is the subordinate to resist. You dare to plot rebellion in the court, which will sooner or later lead to the family destruction disaster!"

But Li Xilie had no fear of repentance at all: "I have obtained Xiangyang and received more than 10,000 elite troops from Liang Chongyi, and then went to Suizhou, passed Nanyang, crossed Fangchengshan, and headed straight to Duji Road; in addition, the troops were led by our general Wu Shaocheng and Wu Shaoyang. From Cai and Xu north, you can attack Ruzhou westward, attack Bian Song eastward, and cut off the grain transportation with Li Na. The emperor of the family asked for more blessings... Kill Li Cheng and sacrifice to the flag."

On the school ground, two eight-sized red door flags of the Huaixi army were waving in the wind, and two door guns were inserted behind them. The Huaining military generals stood with mules and knives on both sides. Li Cheng was taken to the door gun and knelt down, still scolding himself. Li Xilie sat on the Hu bed in front of the tent and asked him: "In the past, you were the commander of Huaixi to promote and demote, and who were in our army who had a close relationship with us?"

"The traitor, all the loyal and righteous people in the world want to eat your flesh. Now your army is my eyewitness, and you will be unable to sleep or eat from now on."

Li Xilie slashed, and several fangs raised their swords and fell. A red light flashed. Li Chengren's head fell to the ground, and blood flew straight to the leopard tail tied to the door gun.

Then the soldiers of Huaixi tied up several people and sent them to Li Xilie.

When Li Xilie saw that it was Yao Zhan, a scholar hired by his shogunate, and Wei Qing, a pharmacist hired by him. "Doctor Wei, you once gave me medicine. No wonder I vomited and had diarrhea after taking it, and almost couldn't afford to get sick."

Seeing that the matter was revealed, Wei Qing cursed: "I hated that I have not put enough poison in it, and I have never poisoned you, a dog thief."

"Kill!" Li Xilie was furious.

After beheading Yao Zhan, Wei Qing and others, Huaixi Army general Dong Shiming bowed to Li Xilie and reminded him: "These two people usually have close relationships with Zhou Zeng and Wang Yu in our army, and the four of them are known as the "Four Young Masters."

"So these four people are all wedges placed by the emperor in my Huaining Army. They have to take the opportunity to poison me. This shows that the emperor of Chang'an is vicious with his intentions - Zhou Zeng, where is Wang Yu?"

Another general under Li Xilie's command, Chen Xianqi, came forward and reported: "The two generals of Zhou, Wang, are following Wu Shaocheng and Wu Shaoyang brothers, and leading the army towards Ruzhou."

So Li Xilie nodded and asked the soldier Han Shuanglu to come forward, "You hold my handbook and lead me ten fakes to the camps of Shaocheng and Shaoyang. After they asked them to get the book, they would kill Zhou Zeng and Wang Yan, and end the emperor's thoughts."

A few days later, the news of the lightning-like fall of Ruzhou reached the capital.

After receiving a letter from Li Xilie, Wu Shaocheng and Wu Shaoyang immediately killed Zhou Zeng and Wang Yan, and then led thousands of elite Huaixi troops to follow the Ru River.

When Li Yuanping, the governor of Ruzhou, heard that the Huaixi Army was coming, he was so scared that he asked Liu Dexin, the Shence Military Headquarters in Yangdi, for help, while urgently hiring civilians to repair the city.

Unexpectedly, Wu Shaoyang and dozens of confidants were directly involved in the civilian team and entered Ruzhou City in a swagger. As soon as Li Yuanping came to inspect the project, he was captured by Wu Shaoyang, tied up on a mule, and rushed out of the city gate.

The soldiers who arrived saw the state soldiers watching the enemy be held hostage like a woman. There were no leaders in the city. Wu Shaocheng led more than a thousand mule troops outside the city and rushed in. Ruzhou City was captured in less than an hour.

Liu Dexin, the Shen Ce Army of Yangdi, did not go to rescue Ruzhou at all because of heavy fog from the sky.

Li Yuanping was then escorted to Dengzhou and Ruzhou in front of Luyang Pass, where the natural barrier between Ruzhou was at the junction of Li Xilie.

"Who are you?" Li Xilie asked.

Li Yuanping looked up and saw the leader of the Huaixi rebels in front of him. He was ugly and rode on a tall mule. The mule was still wearing armor and was embroidered with thunder and fire patterns. At first glance, it looked like a beast and dragon. The Huaixi soldiers were all grinning. They were so scared that they felt a hot flash in their crotch: they couldn't help but urinate.

But he touched his chest again, and Cui Yunhe gave him the little jade ring before leaving, and then he mustered up the courage again, saying that I am Li Yuanping, the other person in Ruzhou.

Li Xilie and the surrounding military general Ya Bing laughed loudly, "You are lying, you should be Li Yuanping's son, right?"

"Don't be rude!" Li Yuanping became furious and jumped three feet high hard, waving his arms as thick as his arms, with a sharp voice.

"I only heard that Li Yuanping, the other person in Ruzhou, has great strategy. Who would have thought that when he saw him today, he would be such a young man. It seems that the relevant person in charge of the dynasty was blind and dared to ask you to reject me!"

"Li Pushe spares his life..." Li Yuanping was angry for only three seconds and knelt down to beg for work. "I would like to offer a plan so that Pushe can go straight to Chang'an."

"Oh? Let's hear it." Li Xilie said half-jokingly.

"Pushe does not need to seize the Eastern Capital, nor does it need to seize the Bian Song Dynasty. You can keep some soldiers in Ruzhou. Yangdi is the Void Army to restrain the court's attention. Pushe himself selected 30,000 elite soldiers, rushed west from the territory of Dengzhou, went up the Danshui River, broke into Wu Pass, entered Shangshan, and then drove Lantian Pass. Now, the court's Jingyuan, Fengxiang's situation is uneasy, and the Shen Ce elite soldiers are all in Heshuo, Central Plains, and Chang'an City is extremely empty and can be obtained at will. This is the old trick of Liu Bang, the Emperor Gaozu of Han, to destroy Qin."

Hearing this plan, Li Xilie also pondered.

Li Yuanping's strategy is actually very vicious.

Although this person is not good at tactics, he is quite good at talking about war on paper and has seized the life gate of the Tang Dynasty today.

Should we directly march into Wuguan to seize Chang'an, or compete with the army loyal to the emperor in the Central Plains?

This choice is in front of Li Xilie.
