For the Tang army's comprehensive westward retreat, Yang Yuanqing always led 20,000 cavalry to follow and monitor, and the 20,000 Sui cavalry was like a group of wolves following their prey, waiting for the opportunity to attack, but the 80,000 Tang army was also aware of the Sui army's tailgating, they adopted a group march, deployed heavy troops in front and rear, and slowly withdrew to the northwest in the middle, not giving the Sui army a chance.

At noon that day, in a pine forest in the south of Hongnong County, 20,000 Sui cavalry gathered in the forest to rest, while Yang Yuanqing sat on a big stone and listened to Luo Shixin's report, Luo Shixin and Cheng Yanjin led more than 1,000 people from Yingchuan County to Hongnong County overnight.

Although they participated in the encirclement and suppression of the Tang army in Xiangyang under Li Jing, they initially received orders to attack the Tiger Prison Pass alone, and in the institutional process of the Sui army, he had to come back to hand over the order.

They handed over the order of the Tiger Prison Pass, but Yang Yuanqing was more interested in the battle between Luo Shixin and Li Xuanba, he also knew the ranking of the top ten fierce generals in the world, this ranking has been interested since he was a child, although he is not the eighteen heroes in the world, but the ten fierce generals are not much worse, but Yuwen Chengdu and Xue Ju are dead, and now there are actually only eight fierce generals.

"I heard that Li Xuan's hegemony is infinitely powerful, a pair of sledgehammers has the courage of ten thousand people, and there has never been a three-hammer general under him, is it really that powerful?"

Luo Shixin rushed all night, wanting to report to Yang Yuanqing the gains and losses of the Tiger Prison Pass, as well as some details of the battle of Yingchuan County, but Yang Yuanqing didn't seem to be interested in these, but was interested in the battle between him and Li Xuanba, which made Luo Shixin smile bitterly in confidence, so he had to say: "Back to the general manager, then Li Xuanba is indeed very powerful, although he was defeated last time, but he really competed, and he was inferior to himself for five rounds." ”

"Then if I fight him. How many rounds do you think you can beat? Yang Yuanqing asked with a smile again.

Luo Shixin sighed. "The chief is in charge of the soldiers of the Great Sui, and he dominates the world, how can he be compared to Li Xuanba and his reckless man. Wouldn't it be a humiliation for the ruler to compare himself with him? ”

Yang Yuanqing smiled, "Okay." Let's talk about it casually, just as a joke. ”

Next to him, Cheng Jin grinned and said: "Then how can Lei Gong'er be the opponent of the general manager, the general manager's sky-breaking spear can end his life within three moves, how can the ranking of the Tang people be counted?" ”

"Not really!"

Luo Shixin is a serious person, and he sighed and said: "Li Xuanba is not only powerful and fierce, but also has ingenious tricks, and the subtleties are very exquisite. It's not a brave man, and if the manager were to fight him, I would probably be able to support ten rounds. But if you always use arrows. That's hard to say. ”

Next to him, Yang Wei bit his lip and asked, "General Luo, I heard that you got a sledgehammer from Li Xuanba." Is it still there? ”

Yang Wei is also the one who makes the hammer, and he has been yearning for Li Xuanba's martial arts for a long time, but he is more or less unconvinced in his heart, Luo Shixin nodded, turned around and ordered a soldier, "Bring that hammer!" ”

In a moment, two soldiers came over with a big thunder hammer and put it in front of everyone, Yang Wei stepped forward to take a closer look at the sledgehammer, he suddenly gasped, it was more than two laps bigger than his hammer, and his pair of hammers added up to only eighty catties, but this hammer weighed one hundred and twenty catties.

Yang Wei struggled with his arms, slowly lifted the hammer, although he could pick up the sledgehammer, but it was impossible for him to dance the sledgehammer, he had to shake his head and put the sledgehammer down, sighing, "I am worthy of being the number one general in the world, I am too far behind." ”

Yang Yuanqing knew that Yang Wei's strength was because he was tall and fat, and his strength was born, not acquired, Yang Wei's martial arts did not break through at all, if he broke through, then his use of strength would be different. Yang Yuanqing was also quite interested in this handle, he stepped forward, held the hammer handle in his right hand, shook it slightly, and had a bottom in his heart, and with a slight struggle with one arm, he actually carried the sledgehammer lightly, and swung two hammer strokes with one arm, and slammed it to a small tree next to him, only to listen to 'click!' With a bang, the tree was broken in two.

"Good hammer method!"

Cheng Yanjin applauded loudly on the side, Yang Wei's eyes widened, he realized that the martial arts of himself and Yang Yuanqing were not a little bit different, even Luo Shixin was taken aback, he had tried this big sleep more than once, and he could also lift it, but if Yang Yuanqing was so light and free, he thought he couldn't do it, could it be that he was so different from his senior brother's martial arts?

Yang Yuanqing put the sledgehammer in front of Luo Shixin, and when he saw that he was surprised, he smiled and said, "What, didn't you expect it?" ”

Luo Shixin shook his head, "It's unbelievable, I can't do it at all." ”

Yang Yuanqing laughed, "That's why Master said, your understanding of strength is not as good as mine, in fact, swinging this sledgehammer is as hard as I am, but I am dancing with the power trend of the hammer itself, but I don't let it get out of control, my strength is not to swing this sledgehammer, but to control its trend, let it follow my command to fight itself, the key is to grasp this 'degree', so that you can do four or two thousand pounds, understand?" ”

Luo Shixin and Yang Yuanqing's martial arts originated from the same vein, Yang Yuanqing dialed it like this, he finally suddenly realized, and suddenly had a sense of enlightenment, he already knew how to use his power.

When Yang Yuanqing saw his surprised expression, he knew that he had already comprehended, but this was only a comprehension, and if he wanted to completely control the power, he still needed to put in a lot of hard work.

Yang Yuanqing patted him on the shoulder and said: "Actually, you are not weaker than Li Xuanba, he just exerts his human potential to the limit, as long as you can master the power of this hammer, then you can defeat him on the battlefield, then the number one fierce man in the world will be you Luo Shixin, not Li Xuanba." ”

Luo Shi's confidence fluctuated, and he slowly shook his head, "If I can beat him, I will only be the second in the world." ”

Yang Yuanqing smiled slightly, "Okay, let's not talk about this, let's talk about how to deal with Li Yuanji." ”……

Li Yuanji's 30,000 new troops were stationed west of Shaanxi County, and at the time of the initial dispatch, they were commanded by Chang He, Li Jiancheng's confidant and chief general of Imjin Pass, but in the militaristic meeting that decided to withdraw the troops, Li Jiancheng took responsibility for the strategic decision-making mistakes for his father Li Yuan.

In return, Li Yuan agreed to Li Jiancheng's second request, and ordered Li Yuanji to be the chief general of the reinforcements on the West Road, and led 30,000 new troops to Shaanxi County to contain the Sui army from the North Road.

Although Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin were at odds, strategically, he still carried out the orders of his father Li Yuan, ordering the general Chang He to advance the land of the troops from Ruxiang County to the east for a hundred miles and reach the area of Hanguguan in Shaanxi County.

In this way, Li Shimin's army of 80,000 was in the west and Chang He's army of 30,000 was in the north, forming a strategic horn situation, which directly posed a threat to the Sui army, suppressing Yang Yuanqing in Yiyang County, and unable to launch an offensive against the Tang army.

However, with the arrival of Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, the Tang army stationed in Shaanxi County also began to slowly retreat westward, and Li Yuanji did not reach a tacit understanding with Li Shimin, and they each carried out the will of the imperial court to withdraw troops.

Even Li Yuanji did not have the idea of cooperating with Li Shimin and the Sui army at all, he resolutely opposed sending troops to support Li Shimin, and only agreed to lend him the new army under pressure from his brother.

If Li Jiancheng, out of a kind of face and identity, would hypocritically politely say a few words when he met Li Shimin, then Li Yuanji was cold to Li Shimin, and he was not pretending.

Li Yuanji has been a withdrawn person since he was a child, with a cruel personality, likes to do his own thing, and does not listen to people's advice, but since experiencing the Tongguan incident, Li Yuanji has also kept a low profile a lot and learned to be silent and forbearing.

But this does not mean that he has become rational and mature from now on, on the contrary, his heart has become more and more cold, his cruelty and tyranny are brought by his bones, and when he can no longer use rough methods to vent his inner anxiety and cruelty, it will be shown from the other side, and he will become more vicious and cold.

He was as silent as a snake, rarely spoke, no one knew what he was thinking, not even his closest personal soldiers, who could not understand his thoughts, and went through each day with trepidation, and every night when he went to bed would rejoice that he had lived another day.

Li Yuanji's army also carried a large amount of baggage, marched slowly, and when it was dark, the team arrived at the town of Chousang.

Li Yuanji immediately ordered the army to be stationed on the spot, and his personal soldiers knew that the king of Qi had his deep meaning in the town, and there was no need to order, more than 20 personal soldiers immediately went out of the camp to the town to find mature and beautiful women.

Since he was a child, Li Yuanji's mother, Queen Dou, didn't like him very much, and left him to be raised by a nursing mother, it is this congenital psychological deficiency that he has a special fondness for mature young women, which is a desire for maternal love in his heart.

Perhaps because of the excessive hormone secretion in the body, Li Yuanji has a strong desire for women, and he had his first woman at the age of twelve, and then he was out of control, always like a beast in heat.

His lust made his father Li Yuan a little dislike him, although Li Yuan was also extremely lustful, he hoped that his sons would be clean.

Under the persuasion of his eldest brother Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji was still relatively forbearant in Chang'an, trying not to expose his bad deeds, but as he left Chang'an, especially during the war, his desire for women in his bones was unabashedly revealed.

Chousang Town is a big town, about 300 households, there are several big families in the town, one of them surnamed Wu is a famous family in Chousang Town, the head of the family Wu Zhenqing was the Northern Zhou Dynasty Ministry of Rites Shangshu, the family is very rich, the mansion is dozens of acres, and five sons live together.

During this time, the army west of Luoyang came and went frequently, and Wu Zhenqing was also used to it, and he didn't care about the comings and goings of the army, and still lived his life peacefully.

But Lin wanted to be quiet and the wind did not stop, and at night, a great shame befell the Wu family, and dozens of personal soldiers of Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, rushed into the Wu house......
