At the beginning of February of the third year of Fengtian, the news of the death of the Khitan Shengjia Khan came back to Chang'an, Xie Yun ran to Changle Gate with a sad look to "mourn", and announced that the hundred officials "abolished the dynasty for three days", but the heart was happy, the Shengjia Khan died, there were a lot of things to be solved within the Khitan, and he couldn't take care of Zhan Zimiao for a while, lost the help of the Khitan, Xu Yang's team was powerless, and the whole Liang was in danger.

Xu Yang under the urging of Zhan Zihao, finally decided to pour the strength of the whole army and fight to the death with Xie Ronghua, but when he marched and set up defenses, he found that Xie Ronghua's previous seemingly inconsequential transfer trapped his army to death, just ten days ago, Wei issued a decree to establish a new Taizhou, "Taizhou" under the jurisdiction of six counties: Anyi, Jishan, Wanquan, Yishi, Fenyin, Longmen, in these places, they sent soldiers and horses to garrison the defense, Xu Yang did not understand what he wanted to do before, but now when he wants to transfer troops, he found the doorway, These places consolidated the rear of the two "nails" of Aolong Fort and Jiangzhou, and established defensive depth, making him unable to go south, and completely cut off contact with Xia County, and now his army has become a lone army.

Xu Yang looked at the military map in his hand, his face turned green, but before he could think of a way to deal with it, another bad news had come, a scout rushed into the tent in a panic, and shouted: "Marshal, marshal, something is wrong." ”

Xu Yang's expression tightened, he stood up and said, "What happened?" ”

"Nanjiabao has been lost, and the grain route in our rear has been copied by the Wei army." The scout shouted, almost crying.

Xu Yang took a step back in shock, and said angrily: "The terrain of Nanjiabao is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is heavily guarded, how can it be lost, haven't you discovered the whereabouts of the Wei army?" How did he get deeper? ”

"Marshal, I don't know, the news from the front, the Wei army appeared suddenly, our army was caught off guard and did not hold it." The scout panicked.

"Who led the troops?" Xu Yang suppressed his anger and said, all the generals of the Wei army are strictly guarded, how can there be fish that slip through the net.

"It's Yan King Xie Lingzhen." The scout replied.

"Xie Lingzhen?" Xu Yang couldn't believe it, a sixteen-year-old boy, he had never taken him seriously, he didn't expect Xie Ronghua to trust him with such an important task, and what embarrassed him even more was that he actually succeeded.

Xu Yang was furious, a mouthful of blood gushed out, and the deputy general on the side supported him and said hurriedly: "Marshal." ”

Xu Yang waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "I can't imagine that there is no decisive battle yet, I have already lost, the grain road has been cut off, what am I going to do to fight Xie Ronghua now." He closed his eyes and ordered in a deep voice, "Tell me to go down and prepare to withdraw my troops." ”

On February 14, Xu Yang began to withdraw his troops, and he arranged the team of the palace in an orderly manner, just wanting to preserve the last strength of the Liang army, but he didn't expect that Xie Ronghua had no intention of letting him go at all.

As soon as Xu Yang began to withdraw his troops, Xie Ronghua personally led the elite pursuit, and the team he left behind was quickly defeated, Xie Ronghua led the troops to pursue without stopping, and fought fiercely with the dozen or so large and small troops left by Xu Yang, and finally joined forces with the army of King Yong'an in the Gaobiling of Lingshinan.

King Yong'an was originally captured in Xia County, but after Lu Mao was beheaded, Xia County was not so stable, plus there were Geng Qing's old people inside, and they quickly rescued King Yong'an, and after Xie Ronghua rescued him, he secretly sent him to lead the army here.

Seeing that Xie Ronghua was still going to lead the army in pursuit, Xie Qingxuan couldn't help but stop him, and said hurriedly: "Marshal, we have rushed so many roads and annihilated so many enemies in a few days, it is enough!" Xie Qingxuan earnestly persuaded, "You haven't eaten and rested for two days and two nights, and the soldiers who came with the army have not eaten like you, and they are so tired that they are exhausted, the marshal should stay here, and wait for the grain and grass and infantry in the rear to keep up, and then it's not too late to leave." ”

Xie Ronghua shook his head on horseback, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Qingxuan, Xu Yang is now exhausted, and the army will be defeated at the next moment, if I let him go at this moment, when he brings the troops into Jinyang and gives him time to breathe, it will be more difficult for us to take it, don't forget, how long did it take General Wen to capture Hedong City, not to mention Jinyang, as for me and the team behind me, Brother Qingxuan don't have to worry, I have spent so much effort on the Xiaowei Army, this bit of suffering is nothing to them at all, Brother Qingxuan, don't worry, we will definitely win." “

Xie Qingxuan looked at his imminent gaze, and couldn't help but get out of the way, Xie Ronghua took Xiao Weijun and quickly disappeared from his gaze.

Xu Yang's army was also near Lingshi, and under Xie Ronghua's frantic pursuit, he had no time to set up defenses, so he had to send troops to meet the battle.

On the evening of the 16th, after a series of vicious battles, Xie Ronghua finally succeeded in defeating Xu Yang, capturing tens of thousands, and obtaining a thousand loads, Xu Yang also became a ghost under the sword.

After two days without food, three days without unloading their armor, even if they were iron men, they were tired enough, and after the camp was set up, the grain and grass had not been delivered for a long time, so they could only rely on themselves and find some game to satisfy their hunger.

It's just that I don't know if the war and bloody atmosphere here are too heavy or for some other reason, there are few prey, the soldiers finished finishing the only prey and distributed it to the soldiers one by one, Yun Yifan held a bowl of rabbit meat, handed it to Xie Ronghua, and said softly: "Marshal, eat something." ”

Xie Ronghua glanced at the bowl full of rabbit meat, and wondered, "Why are there so many?" Didn't they hit anything? ”

"We didn't get anything, and we can't let the marshal go hungry, otherwise who will lead us to victory." Yun Yifan said with a smile.

Xie Ronghua didn't take the bowl of rabbit meat, he smiled and said: "Our army is a whole, even if I am a marshal, I can't be treated specially, but I can't be full, but there are soldiers who haven't even tasted the taste of meat, let's divide this meat." ”

"Marshal!" Yun Yifan's eyes moved, Xie Ronghua patted him on the shoulder, stood up, walked towards the soldiers around the bonfire cauldron, and laughed: "Do you still have this broth, let me taste it too." ”

The soldiers turned their heads when they heard the sound and said with a smile: "Yes, yes." "Rushing to serve him soup, a happy scene.

Yun Yifan looked at them, and finally believed that with Xie Ronghua, he would definitely be able to do a lot, because this person had to make him admire and admire.

The next day, Xie Ronghua did not stop to rest, he continued to march with the army, and finally arrived at Nanjiabao before the sun went down, but the army in Nanjiabao did not seem to believe that they were Wei troops, or the army led by Xie Ronghua himself, because it was impossible to be so fast, they sent people to find Xie Lingzhen, while cautiously guarding, for fear that this was the enemy's trick to lure the army.

Xie Ronghua saw that Xie Lingzhen had managed the army in a good way at a young age, and he was relieved, he sighed, took off his helmet, and wiped the mud on his face because of the hurry, revealing that handsome but tired face, his figure stood tall in the afterglow of the sunset, like a god descending, Xie Lingzhen just walked out, and said in surprise: "Second brother." The defenders saw his face at this time, too, and cheered loudly in extreme ecstasy, deafeningly deafening.
