On April 25, 2018, the 9th year of Daye, the Great Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang went to Huaiyuan Town in western Liaoning again. On the second day, the army conquered Liao began to attack fiercely, defeating the troops of the Goguryeo general Yizhi Wenqing, and killed the Liaoshui River. In this battle, more than 10,000 people from Goguryeo were killed, and Yizhi Wenqing was seriously injured and retreated back to Liaodong City. On April 27, Yang Guang's imperial lord crossed the Liaoshui River, and the army once again besieged Liaodong City.

On April 29, Yang Guang ordered the marshal Yuwen Shu and the Supreme General Yang Yichen to lead the army to attack Pyongyang from the northern route. He also sent the Zuo Guanglu Grand Duke, the Zuo Wuwei General Wang Rengong to lead the army to attack Xincheng, and Yang Guang led his own army to besiege Liaodong City. In this eastern expedition, Yang Guang came to find his face, so he ordered that if the Goguryeo people surrendered again, they would ignore them and attack the city with all their might.

Although Goguryeo won a battle last year, its national strength was far from comparable to that of the Great Sui Dynasty. The Great Sui Dynasty lost 300,000 elite troops, and Emperor Daye issued an order to recruit Xiaoguo. The army in the Eastern Expedition was still as large as one million people. However, Goguryeo was in war last year, and there were not many food, and it also lost a lot of people, so although they were step by step, they were still defeated one after another.

Yuwen Shu and Yang Yichen led the army southward and won consecutive battles. The general Lai Huer led the navy and landed in a landing, defeating the Goguryeo coalition forces in one battle and killing tens of thousands of enemies.

King Gao Yuan of Goguryeo was frightened and sent people to Liaodong to seek surrender.

This time, Yang Guang refused and ordered the army to continue the fierce attack, vowing to capture Pyongyang and capture Gao Yuanyi alive to avenge his previous shame. The Sui army stepped up the attack, but the Liaodong city was blocked by the Goguryeo themselves, as if it was an iron barrel, and it was still difficult to conquer for a while.

Just when the Sui army was invading Goguryeo on the battlefield in Liaodong, King Bo of Zhishi, who was also unwilling to accept his failure, united several green forest heroes north of the Yellow River, Sun Xuanya, Hao Jiande and others, gathered more than 100,000 troops to cross the river and head south again, swearing to kill Zhang Xutuo to take revenge.

At this time, Li Xian's Yanyun Village elite cavalry had already returned to Juyeze.

In the dilapidated temple in the dilapidated village on the border of Dongping County, several beggars were huddling together and tremblingly to keep warm. Suddenly, they saw a few big men in black walking in from outside the temple. The same outfits of these people, black soap boots, and a cold face. Each of them had a horizontal knife hanging by their waists, looking very ferocious.

When several beggars saw the men in black entering the dilapidated temple, they were so scared that they shivered even more.

The strong man in black in the head walked into the temple and glanced slowly, then his eyes stopped on the youngest beggar. His eyes were as cold as the wind in February in the north, as if he could cut a person's skin like a knife. The beggar who was only fourteen years old was startled and subconsciously shrank back and leaned into the arms of the oldest beggar.

"Don't be afraid, children, they are all officials, and they will not be as knowledgeable as people like us."

The old beggar slapped the young beggar's back and said.

He raised his head and smiled humbly, "Several officials, what are you doing in this dirty place? What are you doing when you are a villain who can serve? You can ask."

Although he was a beggar, he was old enough and had experienced enough things. So when he saw the men in black coming in and looking at something, he vaguely guessed what these people were looking for. The man in black in black was a man in his thirties. He seemed to have never expected that an old beggar who seemed to die at any time could have such insight.

"Have you ever seen a very thin person, about fifty years old, not tall, with triangular eyes?"

The man in black spoke very kindly, but the cold aura on his body made the beggars very uncomfortable.

"No, you know, people like us dare not walk around casually, they just wait for death in this dilapidated temple."

The old beggar said a lie that he didn't believe even himself because of panic. Who would believe it if he didn't go out to walk? How could the beggar not go out to beg for food? It was just that this was a lie full of loopholes. The man in black was not angry, but nodded and said seriously: "Yes, you, a dishonest person like you, naturally, can't go out to walk around at will, otherwise... they will really die."

The old beggar's hand shook, and half of the cold and hard steamed bun fell to the ground.

The man in black walked forward a few steps, slowly squatted down and picked up the steamed bun, picked it up and put it on his nose to smell it, and then used the steamed bun to hit a broken wooden fish not far away. The sound was very dull, and the steamed bun was fine, and a lot of broken wooden residues of the wooden fish fell off.

"Can this be eaten?"

The man in black asked with a smile.

The old beggar swallowed with difficulty and smiled bitterly. The young beggar shrank back hard again, as if he was afraid of the big man's eyes in front of him.

The man in black took out a greasy paper bag from the package behind him, took out a greasy chicken leg and handed it to the young beggar: "Do you want to eat it?"

The young man was so scared that he shivered, and swallowed and spitted hard like the old beggar. However, the old beggar was worried and afraid, and he really wanted to eat the chicken leg. He turned his head and looked at the old beggar, who shook his head gently at him. The young beggar was disappointed, but he shook his head firmly.

"I really don't want to eat it?"

The man in black smiled and then threw the chicken leg into a corner. He took out a cloth and wiped his hands, then stood up and said to the young man, "If you picked up the chicken leg just now, I might not kill you, but would ask you sincerely where the dirty leather armor on you came from. And..."

The man in black pointed to the boy's boots and said, "Where did this boots come from?"

Although the boots were already dirty, you could still vaguely see the dim golden threads on them.

"It's a pity that you refused to pick up the chicken leg, so I had to kill him first."

The man in black pointed to the old beggar and said, "If you still refuse to say it, then I will kill others again. There are six people here in total. If you still refuse to say it after I kill five people, then I have to take you back. Take you back, not because I feel kind-hearted and feel that you are young, but because I don't have to give up the torture instruments on hand now. Even if I force confession, it's just to cut off your ten fingers and ten toes one by one, then cut your ears and noses, and pluck your eyes. I think people like you must have a hard mouth, so I should take them back and use all the thirty-six kinds of torture instruments in my hand."

He smiled and said gently: "Okay, I still have some patience now. I'll ask you again, should you eat that chicken leg or wait for me to kill someone?"

The young beggar was so scared that he trembled all over and kowtowed suddenly. He kowtowed very hard, and blood was flowing from his forehead in a few seconds. Blood flowed down his dirty face one by one, looking particularly eye-catching. But even so, he still didn't say a word begging for mercy.

The man in black was slightly stunned, and then sighed: "So he is really a hero."

He pointed to the old beggar and said, "Behead his legs first."

The two men in black behind him nodded, and walked over and pulled the horizontal knife out of their waists. The old beggar's face was as pale as paper, and he knelt down and begged with a plop: "I said, don't force him, he is a mute!"

The man in black was stunned and then smiled mockingly.

"There is something like this..."

...

...

"Dead?"

Li Xian looked at Chen Que'er in surprise and asked, "Why... I died so easily?"

Chen Qu'er smiled and put a dirty leather armor that could not be seen in its original color, and a pair of boots that were scraped with a knife and exposed traces of gold thread in front of Li Xian. The leather armor was very thick, so the beggars gave the leather armor to the young beggar Yuhan. They had never seen gold and silver, so naturally they didn't know that if the boots were sold, they could at least get a full meal for ten days. Of course, if they were taken out to sell, they would be beaten up as thieves.

"I have found someone to identify the leather armor and boots. Zhang Jincheng is really miserable. He escaped from Daishan with great difficulty. He thought he had suffered a lot along the way, but unfortunately he died at the hands of those beggars. It's ridiculous. According to the old beggar, Zhang Jincheng did say that when he arrived at the ruined temple that day, he said that he was Zhang Jincheng. He wanted to use the ruined temple as a gathering hall, and he also accepted the beggars as his subordinates, and promised the food women to give them. Unfortunately, because he stole the beggar's broken cushion and the little beggar's hard steamed buns, he was beaten to death by the beggar."

"Is it beaten to death? Just because of a broken cushion? Half a hard steamed bun?"

Li Xian blinked and felt that the story was absurd. In his memory, Zhang Jin said that he died only in the twelve years of Daye. At that time, his team also grew to the peak and conquered Pingen, Wu'an, Julu and Qinghe. Because of underestimating the enemy, he was defeated by Yang Yichen, a famous general of the Sui Dynasty, and fled to Qinghe County with his remaining soldiers and was captured by Yang Shanhui, the governor of Qinghe County, and was beheaded in public.

It's only nine years since the Great Availability, and Zhang Jin said he had died three years ago.

Will it cause any chain reaction?

This is the first thing Li Xian considered.

"I dug out Zhang Jincheng's body behind the dilapidated temple. Because the weather has not yet warmed up, although the body has risen, I can still recognize the appearance. In order to be safe, after I came back, I asked the person left by Juyezawa to identify the boots, so it is certain that Zhang Jincheng is really dead."

Chen Que'er said with some disappointment.

Li Xian was also a little disappointed, disappointed that a Green Lin Dahao who should have been brilliant died so frustrated, disappointed that the first opponent he chose did not cause any difficulties for him, disappointed that he died so easily, simple and cowardly, which makes people sigh.

"Zhang Jincheng's subordinates were defeated by us in Daishan, killing more than 5,000 people, and the rest escaped. I have sent someone to let the news that Zhang Jincheng was killed by us. I guess the defeated soldiers will be honest for a long time. They either find a place to hide or return to their hometown to make a living."

Chen Que'er said: "The Flying Tiger Secret Spy has left some in Lu County. If there is any trouble, the news will be sent back soon."

"After Wang Bo fled back to the north of the Yellow River, he contacted Sun Xuanya, Hao Jiande and others who were familiar with him on the Green Forest Road, and gathered more than 100,000 people again. Now he has crossed the Yellow River. Zhang Xutuo led Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin to lead more than 20,000 Qi County official troops to meet him, and it is estimated that it will not take long to fight."

Li Xian nodded, looked at the dirty boots in front of him and frowned slightly: "Take this thing out first, it's so smelly."

Chen Que'er smiled and said, "I brought it all the way, and I endured it."

Li Xian smiled and said, "Then you can take it back and smell the fragrant wine, and endure it for another three to five years."

Chen Que'er took the boots and leather armor and ordered his subordinates to bury them.

"We can just focus on the matters of Qi County. There is no need to get involved. I asked you to focus on Li Yang. Is there any news?"

"The grain was transported from the waterway to the outside, but most of it was not transported to western Liaoning!"

Chen Que'er smiled and said, "I really didn't expect that the son of Duke Yang Su of Chu wanted to rebel! Yang Xuangan made great achievements for both Yang Jian and Yang Guang, and Yang Xuangan was also valued by Yang Guang. I can't figure it out. Who rebelled, it shouldn't be him rebelling!"

Li Xian nodded with a smile: "Honor Chu... how can he compare to the emperor? When people are at the foot of the mountain, they will see the beautiful scenery on the mountainside. When they reach the foot of the mountain, they will feel the magnificent scenery on the top of the mountain. When they reach the top of the mountain, they will wonder... Is the scenery in the sky more beautiful?"
