The nineteenth year of the founding of the Great Qin Dynasty, September 18.

An important town in the southeast of Yizhou, the White Emperor City.

Above the city, two high-ranking officials, surrounded by soldiers, looked at the densely built enemy camp not far from the city, and frowned.

One of them said in a deep voice: "Brother Deng is saying that the Yizhou Navy Division mutinied collectively, and General Pei escaped with a group of cronies, and now his life and death are uncertain?" ”

Another person smiled bitterly and said: "That's true, after receiving the secret letter sent by General Pei, this official immediately wrote to Yang Shuai for help, but for more than half a month, Yizhou did not send a single soldier!" Some time ago, Rihuan Xuan led the barbarian soldiers to attack the city, and with the Xiangyang soldiers, the lower officials were barely able to hold on. The Yizhou sailors who had mutinied in recent days also participated in the siege. The destruction of Xiangyang City was imminent, and the official had to take refuge with the people in the city to take refuge here and harass Brother Xu. It's a pity that in a hurry, there are still many people who don't have time to leave with the army, and now they must have fallen into the hands of the Southern Barbarians! ”

It turned out that one of them was Xiangyang Taishou Deng Li, and the other was Xu Yujie, the Taishou of White Emperor City!

Xiangyang had fallen to the Eastern Jin Dynasty a few days earlier, and Deng Li took some of the people of Xiangyang to flee into Yizhou before the city was broken, and only settled down in the White Emperor City. At the same time, Huan Xuan integrated the Yizhou Water Division, with as many as 170,000 troops! After conquering Xiangyang, he took advantage of the victory to pursue, and now he has also entered Yizhou and chased to the White Emperor City. It was only because of the exhaustion of the soldiers and horses that he did not immediately attack the city, but set up camp outside the city.

Deng Li tossed and turned, and when he arrived at the White Emperor City, he was exhausted, and he collapsed and slept for three whole days without saying a word. As soon as I woke up today, I found Xu Yujie and went up to the city wall to observe the enemy's situation.

Obviously, Xu Yujie heard the strong resentment in Deng Li's words, which was not only for Yang An, but also for the entire Yizhou. Whoever insists on not being able to help for a month will probably be like this. Xu Yujie explained: "Brother Deng misunderstood, Yang Shuai is not unwilling to send troops to support Xiangyang, but... Yizhou is too busy to take care of itself, and he really can't spare extra troops to go to Jingzhou! ”

"How is that possible?" Deng Li raised his eyebrows and said: "Although the lower official is an official in Jingzhou, he also knows the details of Yizhou, don't forget, when the imperial court was in Shu, my uncle was the boss!" Yizhou has an army of more than 200,000 troops, and 70,000 sailors are sent out to fight, and there are at least more than 100,000 people left in Yizhou, how can they not draw troops! ”

Xu Yujie was abrupt, and said to Deng Li in a deep voice: "Brother Deng may not know that the imperial court... Defeated! ”

"Brother Xu, are you joking?" Deng Li was shocked.

Xu Yujie smiled bitterly and nodded: "It's true, the news I got half a month ago was that the imperial court suffered a defeat in Weishui and was broken by hundreds of thousands of troops by the Nanban. Now that the Shouyang Palace has fallen into the hands of the Southern Barbarians, His Majesty has withdrawn to Xiangcheng to station. ”

Deng Li was shocked in his heart, and said in a trembling voice: "The million-strong army of the imperial court, with the divine martial arts of His Majesty and the virtue of the imperial court, how can it be defeated by the Southern Barbarians!" ”

As for why the imperial court was defeated, Xu Yujie did not explain, in fact, the news they got was also very confused, they only knew the situation on the front line of Weishui, but they didn't know why the situation became like this. At that time, Yang Shuai had allocated another 100,000 soldiers and horses, and was about to be sent to Xiangyang to support Brother Deng, but suddenly got the news of the defeat of the imperial court. In desperation, Yang Shuai had to order the 100,000 soldiers and horses to divert to Yongzhou to Xiangcheng to escort them. Now in Yizhou, except for the guards of the cities, there are less than 50,000 horses left. 30,000 are stationed in this White Emperor City, and the remaining 20,000 are under Yang Shuai's account, just in case. I really can't spare manpower to support Brother Deng. ”

Deng Li was infinitely sad and angry at this moment, both sad for the defeat of the imperial court and angry at Yizhou, and asked: "Yang Shuai is the most important thing about the society, and I, Deng, have nothing to say." But even if this is the case, can't you send someone to the ward, why let this official wait in Xiangyang for more than half a month! ”

Xu Yujie was silent for a long time before he said: "Just with the group of gentry in Xiangyang who have never suffered hardships, those thousands of guards, if they know the news that the imperial court is defeated and the lonely city is helpless, how can it last so long?" ”

Deng Li was stunned for a moment, buried his head, and said with a wry smile after a while: "That's true, Yang Shuai didn't do anything wrong, it was the official who made a mistake." ”

The guards are not the same as the regular army, they are more equivalent to the first-class urban management police of later generations, and the combat effectiveness is low.

Xiangyang itself has no army to garrison, and with thousands of guards and a group of gentry, it can hold on for more than half a month under the attack of 100,000 barbarian soldiers.

Because Xiangyang belongs to Daqin and belongs to the invincible Daqin, Xiangyang is backed by more than 100,000 troops in Yizhou. The Great Qin Dynasty has never been defeated for decades, so everyone in Xiangyang is full of fighting spirit, firmly believing that the Nanban is just a clown who jumps off the beam, so he can hold on for so long. If Xiangyang knew in advance that the imperial court was defeated and that there were no reinforcements in Yizhou, then the morale of the people would collapse, and the plan would not be able to hold on for more than half a month.

Strategically speaking, Yang An's approach was not wrong, in a sense, he regarded Deng Li and others as outcasts, but this move successfully bought Yizhou more than half a month of preparation time. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the garrisons in Yizhou to gather so calmly in the important town of Baidi City and arrange defenses under Yang An. Deng Li figured this out, and his resentment towards Yang An was completely eliminated, and he knew that if he were his uncle Deng Qiang, he would also make such a choice!

Deng Li asked again: "Since the imperial court was defeated in Shouyang, and Xiangcheng is not known, you can't count on the imperial court to support Yizhou." Although this White Emperor City is guarded by a large army, there are only 30,000 people, but there are 170,000 barbarian soldiers under the city, I don't know what Brother Xu's plan is? ”

Xu Yujie shook his head and said, "What can I plan?" A few days ago, Yang Shuai was reported, and this evening, Yang Shuai can arrive in the White Emperor City. At that time, everything will be arranged by Yang Shuai. ”

This White Emperor City is the only place for Jingzhou to Yizhou, and now Jingzhou has fallen into the hands of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the White Emperor City is the gateway to Yizhou, which cannot be lost. After Yang An received Xu Yujie's report, he was afraid that 30,000 people would not be enough to resist Huan Xuan's army, so he simply took the remaining 20,000 people and hurried to the White Emperor City, preparing to sit in charge in person. This time it can be said that he hollowed out the entire Yizhou family fund, and the soldiers made dangerous moves. If the White Emperor City can't hold it, then Yizhou will be unable to escape.

At the same time, outside the White Emperor City, the Eastern Jin Dynasty military camp.

Huan Xuan waited outside the big tent of the Chinese army for a long time, and a petite maid raised her head and came out, and said arrogantly: "Your Highness has agreed to meet Lord Huan, Lord Huan, please come in." ”

"Thank you, girl." Huan Xuan bowed his hand slightly to the maidservant, and then stepped into the tent.

The decoration in the big tent is extremely gorgeous and extravagant, a big chair is covered with a white tiger skin blanket, and the beautiful princess Sima Zhihua of the Eastern Jin Dynasty lies lazily on the big chair, playing with a jade pendant in her hand, and does not look at Huan Xuan who has entered the account.

Huan Xuan didn't dare to approach, and knelt down ten steps away from the big chair: "Weichen Huan Xuan, knock on Her Royal Highness the Princess, Your Royal Highness Chitose Chitose Chitose." ”

didn't get a response, Huan Xuan knew that this was Sima Zhihua deliberately drying him, and secretly cursed in his heart.

A month ago, the beautiful princess's cousin had been extremely gentle and deferential to him, screaming from cousin to cousin and holding his arm at every turn. Huan Xuan even suspected that if he had asked this cousin to sleep at that time, she would probably not be unhappy.

However, since more than half a month ago, after the news of the imperial court's defeat of the tyrannical Qin in Weishui came, this princess cousin was like a different person, and gradually treated him with no false colors, and the rules became bigger and bigger.

Of course, Huan Xuan knew why, when the imperial court was in danger, his Huan clan supported the army, and Sima Zhihua also counted on relying on the Huan clan to support the Jin family, which was naturally obedient; Now, the situation is different, no one would have imagined that the imperial court would actually win the violent Qin! Now that the prestige of the imperial court is shocked, Sima Zhihua has naturally become Her Royal Highness the high-ranking princess of the Great Jin Dynasty, and he looks down on him as a little Huan. Even because of the forced laughter at the beginning, now he has to double the humiliation and revenge.

The so-called help to Huan Xuan cut off the land of Shu According to Shu, Sima Zhihua naturally did not mention it, and now she has taken over the control of the 170,000 army. plans to use the soldiers of the Huan clan to do things for the Eastern Jin Dynasty court, and capture Yizhou to expand the territory of the Great Jin Dynasty.

Huan Xuan was annoyed that he hadn't seen his cousin's true colors as an actor until now, turning his face was faster than turning a book, and he knew that he should have let her sleep before he got rid of his hatred! It's a pity that now that the imperial court has returned victorious, where does the Huan family dare to have the slightest disrespect for Sima Zhihua, these things can only be thought about in their hearts.

After a long time, Sima Zhihua said lazily: "Lord Huan, just say something." ”

Huan Xuan came to report the military situation, and he reported the information he had found to Sima Zhihua 1510, and he had to ask to see him every day to report the military situation, which was also one of the rules set by Sima Zhihua.

Sima Zhihua listened, thought about it, and said lightly: "Thirty thousand, even if Yang An comes, it will be less than fifty thousand, so there is nothing to be afraid of." Command the army to start storming the White Emperor City tomorrow. That's it, go down. ”

Sima Zhihua waved his hand, as if driving a slave away, for Huan Xuan to retreat.

"Attack strongly, feel my Huan's soldiers, you don't feel distressed to use them! If the court is defeated, it would be great, Lao Tzu will let you cry under me every night. ”

Huan Xuan was furious in his heart, but he didn't dare to refute, so he responded to the order and respectfully retreated.

In the evening, Yang An arrived at the White Emperor City, and Xu Yujie and Deng Li led people out of the city to greet them. The White Emperor City is called the city, it is really a pass, the mountains and mountains are steep and steep around the left and right, the front and back passes, outside the front door is the army of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Yang An with soldiers and horses is from the back door into the city.

"I'll wait to participate in Yang Shuai!"

"The situation is critical, you don't have to be polite!" Yang An waved his hand to flatten everyone, today he was wearing chain iron armor, with a handsome middle-aged appearance, and he was extremely majestic.

The army brought by Yang An ordered to enter the city, and the army slowly entered, but at this moment, he saw a horse galloping out of the army and going in the other direction! Yang An saw the fiery red figure on the horseback clearly, "Yang Shiyi, when did you blend into the army?" Sneaking into a barracks without permission is a felony. ”

The man on horseback turned his head sideways, and although he was wearing armor, he could not hide his long fiery red hair. It's not Yang Shiyi, who is it. She smiled sadly: "Daddy, don't hide it from your daughter anymore." The imperial court was defeated, the Yizhou sailors also rebelled, and Sheng Qin's life and death were uncertain, right? ”

This sudden scene attracted the attention of everyone present, and nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses waiting to enter the city looked at the father and daughter sideways.

Yang An's voice was fierce, and he reprimanded angrily: "National affairs, it's not your turn to worry about it, where are you going?" Don't mess around, come back quickly. ”

Tears fell from the corners of Yang Shiyi's eyes, and she said firmly: "Daddy, I'm going to find Pei Shengqin." ”

"Drive!"

Yang Shiyi didn't look over, rode his horse and galloped, looking in that direction, it was clear that he wanted to avoid the White Emperor City and go around to Jingzhou.

"You girl, what are you crazy about, hurry up and come back to me!"

"Poetic, stop, don't go any further. The Southern Barbarians are full of troops, and they will definitely let the extra men and horses patrol and blockade near the White Emperor City, and you will definitely not be able to get around it. ”

"Daddy will try to rescue Sheng Qin, Daddy promises! Poetry come back soon, Daddy only has you as a daughter! ”

No matter how Yang An shouted, Yang Shiyi seemed to be deaf, and he only looked away in the direction of dusk.

Deng Li smashed his mouth and muttered: "I can't think of it, I can't imagine it, my little Pei brother is still a love saint." ”

"Brother Deng, what did you say?" Xu Yujie asked suspiciously.

"Oh, I said that Miss Yang's personality is really strong."

"Yes, the tiger father has no dog girl!"

The two Taishou here were whispering, and Yang An's call over there was unsuccessful, and he finally lowered his head in despair, and the whole person seemed to have suddenly aged more than ten years.

After a while, Yang An seriously swept a trace of fierceness, and said solemnly: "Order, the army is repaired, and tomorrow take the initiative to go out to invite the barbarian soldiers." Within three days, it is necessary to contain all the brute soldiers, and not let the brute soldiers have any spare strength. ”
