The light suddenly moved in Li Yuan's eyes. At this moment, he suddenly felt the urge to hug this woman regardless of ignorance.

Five days.

It's enough to let Liu Bang have another gamble.

December 1st, morning.

After the rectification, Liu Bang's army once again set off a clarion call for attack. This time, Liu Bang, who had no intrigue within the coalition, decided to take a gamble.

In Xingyang City.

Under the efficient operation system, the emergency mobilization order was issued in an orderly manner, and 7,000 soldiers gathered under Li Yuan's command again.

These soldiers were divided into three levels. The first level was Li Yuan's personal military camp and the former guests of Li's mansion. Although their number was only 400, they were the essence of the guards in the city. This elite soldier would become the key to the victory or defeat of the war. The second level had more than 2,700 soldiers, mainly including the original officials and soldiers, the former surrendered soldiers of Zhao Ben's army, and some servants of the large households; the third level was also the largest number, and the young and strong women in Xingyang City organized by Fan Jia, Guan Yue and Hou Xi. These auxiliary soldiers were mainly responsible for the transportation of the city's baggage. Of course, when the troops were tight, they would also be sent to Chengheng to fight the enemy.

North Gate.

Among Li Yuan's personal soldiers, there were a few strange faces. In addition to Li Bi, there were also several former guests of the Li Mansion who were selected.

Li Si was the prime minister of Qin for more than ten years. When the family was at its peak, there were more than a thousand guests. Cao Da, famous as Xin, was from Shangcai, and was the same family as Li. He was called Cao Da because of his eldest family.

Speaking of Cao Da's ancestor Wu Gong Cao Sheng, he was the king of Cao State in the Spring and Autumn Period, and participated in the alliance and war convened by the then overlord Jin State many times. He can be regarded as a generation of kings and princes revived by Cao State. After Cao Sheng, Cao State became worse and worse and eventually destroyed by Song State. Cao Xin and his branch moved from the ancient Cao State in Dingtao to the Shangcha area, which has been around for five generations.

By Cao Xin's generation, the Cao family was no different from ordinary civilians. The only thing that could represent the glory of the past was that most of the men in the Cao family were powerful and strong, and they did not disappoint their ancestor Wu Gong. Cao Xin had no outstanding talents for five years in the Li Mansion, but he was loyal and did not leave at first sight like other snobs.

Cao Xin was tall and strong, but he was simple in his mind. When he was young, he relied on a pair of iron fists. When he was strong, he relied on his strength as a guest. This time, after seeing that Ying Yushu really had no intention of leading the Li family to regain his mind, Cao Xin followed Li Bi to join Li Yuan. For him, Li Yuan and the Li family still had a slight connection, so his move would not be a betrayal.

The war drums roared.

The city wall made of bluestone caused a trembling sound. In just two years, this important town experienced more bloody storms than ever before. Under the protection of the solid city wall, the military and civilians in the city succeeded again and again to repel the enemy who came to loot. This time, they were also full of confidence.

In just one month, Xingyang City issued two conscript orders. When Zhao Ben was in power, the decision to force conscripted made people angry. Now, Li Yuan's same order had the same purpose, but the result was completely different. Zhao Ben's rebellious actions made him lose the support of the elders of Xingyang, and Li Yuan's army caused almost no major damage to the city during the more than ten days of occupying Xingyang.

This is also due to the implementation of a series of civil affairs measures by Li Yuan, and the strong support of officials such as Fan Jia, Guan Yue, Hu Zhuang, and Zhang Fu.

If the city is there, wealth is there and no one can deprive it of it at will.

If the city is trapped, both people and money will be destroyed, and Liu Bang's soldiers can burn, kill, loot at will.
