Sui and Tang Dynasties: Beginning with Overlord Inheritance

"Whoa."

I don't know how long it took until the dam was repaired again, and the river gradually calmed down.

But many places around are submerged by the river.

Many rebels survived by chance, but they all exhausted their strength because of struggling in the water.

Let alone fighting, he didn't even have the strength to stand up.

"Take prisoners."

Yang Zhao ordered directly.

"promise!"

Xue Shixiong and others took orders and immediately began to capture those prisoners who were still alive.

"Surrender, we surrender!"

These guys thought that the Sui army wanted their lives, so they hurriedly shouted.

"Traitor, damn it!"

The Sui soldiers cursed while punching and kicking.

Finally, they were gathered together and detained in Xindu County nearby.

Yang Zhao was waiting in Xindu County to report relevant matters to the general.

"rustle."

In less than a moment, several footsteps sounded one after another.

Immediately, he saw Xue Shixiong and others, and walked in quickly.

"General Yang Zhao."

Xue Shixiong and the others did not speak, but the joy on their faces was beyond words.

"See your lord."

Xu Maogong, Li Cunxiao and others bowed in salute.

"Exemption."

Yang Zhao waved his hand.

"Our army won a complete victory in this battle. 15 rebels were routed, and more than 6 people were captured alive."

Xue Shixiong reported happily.

Under the condition of equal forces, it is possible to achieve such a big victory, why not be happy?
None of the people present were unhappy.

Brother Hua Gongyi also praised Yang Zhao in his heart.

In a very short time, Yang Zhao was able to come up with this strategy, how can it not be admired?

"It would be great if he was really General Sui."

Xue Shixiong thought to himself.

Now Yang Guang hasn't mentioned anything related to Yang Zhao, so everyone can't be sure.

No matter how much speculation there is, it is only speculation.

"Very well, follow the original plan."

Yang Zhao ordered.

His eyes were on Li Cunxiao.

The latter took a step forward, ready to take orders at any time.

"Cun Xiao, you will take the five thousand backing army with you."

Yang Zhao ordered.

"promise."

Li Cunxiao took the order.

"Five thousand backing army?"

Xue Shixiong hesitated,
This force is small, can it really break through the city from the inside out?

"Cunxiao alone can withstand tens of thousands of troops."

Yang Zhao said lightly.

After hearing this, Xue Shixiong suddenly remembered the scene where Li Cunxiao showed his might.

"The rest, continue to advance towards Li Yang."

Yang Zhao ordered.

"promise."

The crowd responded in unison.

After resting for half an hour, the army continued to head south.

At this time, Li Cunxiao also went straight to Li Yang after putting on makeup.

Yang Xuangan and others have never met Li Cunxiao.

Therefore, it is impossible to recognize each other based on appearance alone.

In order to ensure the truth, Li Cunxiao and the [-] backing army marched almost in a hurry.

He also deliberately made the armor dirty and torn, and looked a little embarrassed.

If it is not for careful observation and speculation, there will be no suspicion at all.

Under the hasty march, it didn't take long for Li Cunxiao to reach the city of Liyang.

"stop!"

The rebels at the head of the city shouted angrily.

"I'm waiting for General Yang Xuanzong to go north to support the soldiers."

Li Cunxiao said.

"Nonsense, General Yang Xuanzong went north to support, why did you turn back halfway?"

The rebels defending the city were somewhat skeptical.

Lu Fang and Xue Liang in the backer army became a little nervous.

If you can't answer, it is very likely that a war will start here.

"We were ambushed by the Sui army."

Li Cunxiao said bluntly.

"what?"

The city guard general was taken aback for a moment.

He hesitated for a long time, but chose to tell Yang Xuangan the news.

The general left quickly to convey the news, and Yang Xuangan and Li Mi hurried to the top of the city, estimating the time needed for half a cup of tea.

"You said you were ambushed?"

Yang Xuangan looked at Li Cunxiao below and asked.

"Yes, there was an ambush in Xindu County. We marched in a hurry and relied on water, and the Sui army used water to attack."

This time it was Lu Fang who answered.

He also deliberately pretended to be terrified, as if it was real.

"My lord, it's probably true."

Li Mi looked serious.

"Da da."

At this moment, a sound of horseshoes sounded.

Immediately afterwards, a fast horse scout was seen, quickly approaching the city.

"Report!"

The scout shouted.

"What's the matter, come quickly!"

Li Mi hurriedly motioned.

"The battle in Youzhou is over, Yuwenshu is defeated, and the Turkic cavalry never showed up."

The scout gasped.

"what?"

Hearing this, Yang Xuangan's complexion changed drastically.

"My lord, quickly open the city gate."

Li Mi urged.

Only then did Yang Xuangan react, and hastily asked someone to open the city gate.

After the city gate was opened, Li Cunxiao and others quickly entered the city.

"It's that easy. Will the intelligence of the rebel army be within Yang Zhao's expectations?"

Lu Fang couldn't help guessing.

"Most likely."

Xue Liang nodded.

It was because of the news that Yang Xuangan and Li Mi's suspicions were completely dispelled.

Then the army entered the city to rest, Yang Xuangan immediately called Li Cunxiao and the scouts who sent the news over.

"Where's Hu Sizheng?"

Yang Xuangan looked at Li Cunxiao and asked.

"General Yang Xuanzong was ambushed at Yongji Canal in Xindu County, so he didn't have time to go deep into Youzhou, so naturally he didn't see General Hu."

Li Cunxiao replied.

"My lord, this subordinate knows the whereabouts of General Hu."

Another scout said with a wry smile.

"Say it!"

Yang Xuan urged.

"General Hu Sizheng has been defeated."

said the scout.

"Bold!"

Yang Xuangan was furious, his eyes widened.

Immediately, he pulled out his saber and placed it on the scout's throat.

The sharp blade shone brightly, and the cold air seemed to be able to cut through the scout's skin.

"What this subordinate said is true, and I am willing to guarantee it with my head."

Scouts insist on intelligence.

"My lord, calm down."

Li Mi advised.

Right now is the time to unite people's hearts, so don't mess around.

After listening to the persuasion, Yang Xuangan took back the saber.

"Under such circumstances, the Sui army may turn defeat into victory, which is too strange."

Li Mi stroked his chin beard and said.

Immediately afterwards, the scout told the situation of the battle in Youzhou.

"Yang Zhao, isn't this person the bandit leader of Wagangzhai? How could he collude with the Sui army?"

Yang Xuan asked puzzledly.

"My lord, it seems that we have been tricked."

Li Mi said in a deep voice.

"What's the meaning of this?"

Yang Xuan asked curiously.

"This expedition is probably a cover. The real purpose is to force out the lord and Yu Wenshu."

Li Mi guessed.

It's no wonder he guessed like this, because what happened in Youzhou seemed to have been arranged in advance.

"What should I do now?"

Yang Xuan felt a little flustered.

"There are experts in the Sui army. They won against Yu Wenshu and wanted to catch us off guard, but it's a pity that the news leaked out."

Li Mi narrowed his eyes and said.
