Li Xiujing was ordered to lead the Shence Army from Chang'an to Linming and Zhou Sui to join the other three armies. As soon as the news of the rebellion in the three towns was received, the imperial court urgently ordered Zhang Alao, the commander of the Yiwu Army, and Dugubo, the commander of the Youzhou Jieduli Hou, to join forces to conquer Hengzhou and attack Li Weiyue, the commander of the Chengde Festival.

As soon as Commander Wei Bojie received the news, he immediately ordered his troops to rescue Cheng De and then ordered his troops to march to Xingzhou. Then he sent general Yang Chaoyi to garrison Lujiazhai northwest of Handan City, hoping to cut off Zhaoyi's army's food route. He personally led tens of thousands of troops and marched up to surround Linming and Xingzhou.

Lin and Xing were the fortresses leading to Heshuo from the imperial court. Once the two lands fell into Wei Bo's hands, the imperial court wanted to attack the three towns. You can only cross the Taihang Mountains or enter from the south of the Yellow River. The cost of both was too high, so we received requests for help from the defenders of the two places. The imperial court first ordered the Hedong Army, Heyang Army and Zhaoyi Army to march east from Huguan, and also sent the Shence Army to set off from Chang'an.

Therefore, the Shence Army marched in a hurry all the way, and finally arrived in Handan after more than half a month. Entered Zhou Sui's camp.

In order to delay time, Zhou Sui sent a letter to Wei Bojie commander Tian Min before rushing to Linming. The good words to persuade them to cease the war were actually to make them mistakenly think that the court was afraid of them, so that they would not be on guard.

Li Xiujing, Zhou and Wang met each other. The three of them walked together to the sand table in the middle.

"Linming has been trapped for a long time. The only plan for now is to attack Yang Chaoyi in the northwest of Linming City and force Tian Min to lead his army to rescue." Zhou Sui looked solemn.

Looking at the sand table in front of her, Li Xiujing frowned. Along the way, he already knew everything about Linming's situation. Tian Min could not attack Linming for a long time, and the city was running out of ammunition and food. Zhou Sui's idea was to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao, forcing Tian Min to support Yang Chaoyi. In this way, the crisis in Linming will be resolved.

After thinking for a moment, Li Xiujing said: "I'm afraid Tian Min has been sending people to keep an eye on the court's movements. The Shence Army has just arrived, taking advantage of the fact that the other party has not yet known our true and false intentions. The last general is willing to lead his army to attack Yang Chaoyi."

"General Li is really a young talent. I really want you to lead the army to attack Yang Chaoyi. But no matter what, let's take a rest first and set off again tomorrow morning." Zhou Sui showed appreciation and reached out to pat Li Xiujing's shoulder. .

Knowing that Zhou Sui was considering this, Shence's army marched in a hurry and was tired. If you don't get a good rest, your combat effectiveness may be affected. Li Xiujing did not reject this suggestion and ordered Feng Yuanxian to send an order for the sergeants to camp and rest and wait for Zhou Sui's dispatch.

The war is urgent. Although it was difficult for Zhou Sui to hold a banquet, he still asked the fireman to serve Li Xiujing with good wine and food.

At dawn the next day, Li Xiujing personally led 4,000 Shence troops to attack Yang Chaoyi's camp. At the same time, Zhou Sui sent his generals to Shuanggang, ready to intercept Tian Min's reinforcements at any time. He and Wang Baozhen stayed behind, waiting to rush to Linming or Li Xiujing to help.

The Shence Army was stationed thirty miles away from Yang Chaoyi.

In the big tent, Li Xiujing was looking at the map. He had discussed it with Zhou Sui last night. The place where Yang Chaoyi is now stationed is where Emperor Taizong of this dynasty fought. Although the terrain is not high, the surrounding environment is quite dangerous, and a direct attack by force is obviously not feasible. But the only drawback is that the campsites where they are located are all fenced.

"General, when will we take action?" He Liang came in from outside and asked.

Hearing this, Li Xiujing put down her pen and asked, "How are the sesame oils that I asked you to prepare?"

"Everything is ready. Just waiting for your order, General!"

"When it gets dark, let's give Yang Chaoyi a gift." Li Xiujing said with a smile.

That night. Li Xiujing ordered all the men and horses in the camp. The sergeants were all paid, their titles were high, and their horses were reined in. He then ordered the sergeants to push a train filled with sesame oil and slowly approach Yang Chaoyi's camp.

Take the sound of the night owl as a signal. Taking advantage of the darkness, the sergeants lit the hay on the train and pushed the train hard. I saw the train carrying fierce fire rushing towards Yang Chaoyi's camp.

The sound of drums in the middle corner of Yang camp started. Apparently the other side's patrol has discovered the enemy's situation and is beating drums to notify the sergeants in the camp to prepare to meet the enemy. But the sound of the horn drum was obviously unorganized.

Li Xiujing immediately waved his sword horizontally. Using the fire as a cover and taking advantage of the enemy's chaos, he led his troops into the enemy camp. Thick smoke, accompanied by the smell of linseed oil, burned throughout the camp.

The sound of flags and drums became less clear under the cover of thick smoke, and the only sound that fell in my ears was the cry of killing. The opponent doesn't seem to have many troops, but they all seem to be cavalry.

Yang Chaoyi had also led his troops out of the tent and looked around. In the thick smoke, he could only vaguely see the blurry figure of the other party. Just as he was thinking, an arrow flying from a distance had penetrated the throat of the lieutenant beside him.

With no time to think about it, Yang Chaoyi had no choice but to rush his horse to meet the enemy. However, under the thick smoke, it is difficult to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. In a moment of inadvertence, the sergeant beside him was penetrated by a horse that came from nowhere.

On the one hand, Yang Chaoyi responded to the battle with the officers and soldiers, and on the other hand, he searched for the enemy's general among the troops. It was obvious that both sides were caught in the thick smoke, but compared to the chaos on their own side, the other side was orderly and stable, and they were able to cooperate with each other amidst the vague sound of horns and drums. It was obviously the result of the master's command.

The plan for now is to take the opportunity to kill the enemy general. He is leading an army to break out.

I heard military orders to change formations sounded in the Yang camp. The pair of phoenix eyes under the hood were filled with a chill. Li Xiujing's eyes fell on the moving figures in the distance.

Yang Chaoyi's camp is backed by a steep cliff, with shrubs and rocks on both sides. There is only one easy road ahead in the night. The opponent is probably thinking of killing him now so that he can lead the crowd to break out.

With a cold cry, Li Xiujing tightened the reins with her slender fingers and issued a military order. His eyes were as sharp as a hawk that had caught its prey.

Since the other party wants to leave, he might as well give them a big one.

Sensing an opening in the formation of the army, Yang Chaoyi's eyes also fell on the flying cloak not far away. A young face came into his eyes. Judging by the clothes, he must be the commander in chief of the army this time.

Yang Chaoyi drew out his saber and pointed forward, "Follow me to break out of the encirclement and kill the enemy's leader, and advance to three levels in a row."

Seeing that the opponent was still one shot away from her, Li Xiujing tightened her grip on the horse in her hand and clamped her legs around the horse's belly. The soldiers waved their swords to meet the enemy, their cold blades splashed with blood, and their swords and swords clashed. Yang Chaoyi's troops were torn apart again.

Looking at the man guarded by the crowd, Li Xiujing pierced through Wei Bojun who was blocking the way in front. Without any hesitation, he mechanically beheaded the enemy general.

The same was true for the Shence soldiers who followed him. The rising and falling of the blades were filled with blood. Underneath the wailing sounds were young and lively faces, some of which had not yet had time to raise their swords to greet them. He had already been chopped down by the knife, and the blood spattered from his neck was still hot.

Swords and swords clash, and the war is fierce. Yang Chaoyi fought his way through Li Xiujing's offensive and almost died under the horse's beam several times. But he could see a pair of blazing and cold eyes on the young and handsome face under the hood.

Yang Chaoyi finally met the commander-in-chief of the army.

At the moment when Changsha penetrated his body, he asked his question.

"who are you?"

"Shence Li Xiujing."
