Two years ago, he was the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and was removed from office because he said the wrong thing when receiving the messenger of the official tribute. When asked about the origin of the Silla national crown system, the Silla envoy said, "Where are there any gentlemen in the great country who do not know the skin and hatred?" Li Zixiong said, "The Central Plains are rude, so I sought it from the four barbarians." The envoy said, "Since I came here, I have not seen any rude except what you said just now." The Censorate was dismissed because Li Zixiong was impeached by him because of his speech.

Before the Eastern Expedition, Yang Guang recruited Xiaoguo. He originally asked Li Zixiong to organize and command. He immediately commanded the six armies and purged the six armies. Yang Guang was very happy. Later, because he was slandered by him because of something wrong with Yuwen Shu, he was given the position of General of the Guard of the Guard. He was awarded the position of General of Zuowuhou. However, after a few days, he was removed from office again because of the report of Yuwen Shu beating him.

After resigning from his post, he returned to his hometown in Bohai County.

But unexpectedly, because Yang Xuangan raised an army this time, the emperor remembered that Li Zixiong had a very good relationship with Yang Su and his son, so he sent an envoy to detain him. This angered Li Zixiong. He was so old that he had no intention of rebellion, but this man was sitting at home, and disaster came from heaven.

In anger, he simply killed the envoy and ran to Xingyang to join Yang Xuangan.

Didn’t you say I would rebel? Then I would really rebel!

Wei Fusi and others were forced to surrender, but Li Zixiong really came to surrender, so Yang Xuangan was extremely enthusiastic about him. Moreover, compared to Wei Fusi and other second generations, Li Zixiong was a veteran.

He was born in a general, started fighting since he was young, fought until his age, fought hundreds of thousands of times in his life, served as the local governor, served as the general of Youzhou, and was also the general of the twelve guards. Everything was outstanding.

Moreover, there are many old friends in the army. Why is Yang Xuangan not happy when such an old general comes to join us?

After meeting, Yang Xuangan took Li Zixiong's hand into the central army's tent and directly appointed him as the marshal, asking him to command 100,000 troops in the middle for him.

"Uncle Shi, now two generals Zhang Xutuo and Pei Renji are blocking the way at Xingyang Pass. I wonder if there is a way to break through?" Yang Xuangan asked.

Li Zixiong is old, but only Li Jingyu and Wen Shu are the first generation.

Although he is old, he is still strong, tall, with a red face, and his hands are like a palm-leaf fan.

Sitting there, no hurry or slow down.

"Zhang Xutuo and Pei Renji were both your father's subordinates back then, and they all fought with me and I have fought with me. I can be called my old subordinates. But don't expect these two people to come and fight. If you want to fight Luoyang, you must first break the Hulao. The Hulao Pass is dangerous, but it doesn't mean it cannot be broken."

"I dare to ask what strategy?"

"If we are well prepared, there are naturally various ways, but now we are in a hurry and don't have time to siege the city for a long time, so there is only one way, that is, to attack hard. While there are not many defenders gathered in Xingyang Pass, we will attack hard and fight hard."

"Fight hard?"

Yang Xuangan frowned. He originally hoped that Li Zixiong had a better solution, and this forced attack was not a good solution.

"Don't worry, when fighting, it's impossible to fight by tricks all the time. This hard fight is the main tactic. If you can't get around, you have to fight hard."

"Then please ask Uncle Shi to command."

Li Zixiong waved his hand, "It's not enough to fight hard. I suggest that we attack Hulao on one hand, and send a number of troops to attack Henan counties everywhere, and even to the south of Jianghuai Mountain. On the one hand, it will prevent all places from coming to help Hulao, and on the other hand, it will take the opportunity to light fires everywhere. Nowadays, the people of the Central Plains are complaining about the eastern expedition. As long as the fire is on fire, countless people will inevitably respond, and we will become more powerful by then. Maybe, the roads that can be opened to Luoyang or Guanzhong may not be necessary."

With the right combination, the odd victory.

The best and strange complement each other.

This is indeed a proposal from a veteran. It is indeed much more experienced than Yang Xuangan's previous plan. Although he also went out to three groups, Li Mi was going to block Yang Guang and Wang Bo was going to block Luo Cheng. However, Li Zitong suggested to attack Henan, Jianghuai, Shannan and other places. This was not defense, but active attack.

That day.

Yang Xuangan solemnly introduced Li Zixiong to the 100,000 anti-army army, and set up an altar, and appointed Li Zixiong as the marshal, and ordered him to lead the army. At the same time, he sent out his four brothers, and each of them was ordered to harass the cities in the canal, Huaihe River and other river basins, burning the war to a wider place to awaken more dissatisfied people and the powerful people in those places.

As soon as Li Zixiong arrived, and when he was appointed as the commander, he also brought dozens of noble children including Wei Fusi to the platform. For a moment, the situation felt very good.

It seems that half of Luoyang's nobles have come to vote.

The rebellion that was originally a bit cold has become prosperous again.

As soon as Li Zitong came to power, he spent three days rectifying the 100,000 anti-army troops under Xingyang Pass. It was a thunderous and the army was in a state of great success.

As a result, the powerful people from all over the country came to join in again. In just a few days, tens of thousands of people came.

Three days later.

Li Zitong formally led his troops to attack Hulao Pass.

Hulao was named after King Mu of Zhou. This pass is connected to Songyue in the south and the Yellow River in the north. The mountains and rivers are intertwined, making it a natural danger. It has the momentum of "one man should be a pass, but tens of thousands of men cannot open", and it is a place that military strategists in history must fight for and is the eastern gate of Luoyang.

Liu Bang and Xiang Yu once fought for Guancheng here. During the Three Kingdoms, the eighteen princes attacked Dong Zhuo, and the three Yings fought against Lu Bu here.

Anyone who can be called a key pass will inevitably be very difficult to attack.

Although Li Zixiong is a veteran, time is in a hurry and has no other choice, so he can only force himself to fight.

After all, Yang Xuangan said frankly that he wanted troops to enter Luoyang, so he could only attack.

The horn sounds.

Li Zixiong personally urged the troops to attack in turn.

The rebels had good morale. They continued to attack on the same day, and for ten hours, each rebel army took turns to fight.

But after ten hours of attack, they failed to make any progress until midnight. However, the rebels were killed or injured, but Li Zixiong didn't care at all.

True is not in charge of the army.

I took two hours of rest.

After dawn, Li Zixiong ordered the attack again to start the city.

At this time, the rebels were no longer strong. After all, even if they attacked one day, they took turns to attack, but there were many casualties and injuries, so the rebels were still a little afraid.

At this time, Yang Xuanting personally asked to lead his troops to attack the city.

"Okay, please cheer for the second general!"

Yang Xuanting is very fierce. Yang Xuangan has seven brothers and more than ten cousins. They are all fierce. But in terms of courage, it is naturally Yang Xuangan, but in terms of fierceness, it is Yang Xuanting.

He brought the selected suicide squad, each of whom drank a bowl of water and wine to gain courage. He drank all the wine, broke the bowl, then held a shield and started rushing towards Guancheng.

Yang Xuan held the shield in his left hand, held a knife in his mouth, and struggled to thrust the ladder.

He was about to climb to the top of the city, and suddenly a crossbow arrow shot. Yang Xuan raised his shield gear, but he was on the ladder and was inconvenient to dodge, especially Zhang Da was snatching the crossbow and hitting him from one side of the city.

The crossbow arrow pierced through the leather shield and penetrated directly into Yang Xuanting's chest.
