"Filial piety! Filial piety! Yang Zhong's voice was so high that it pulled Pei Guo back from his reverie.

Pei Guo was agitated and blurted out: "Very... What's the matter? Brother Zhong has something to do? ”

"What can I do? Is there something wrong with you? ”

"I... It's okay too. Pei Guo is in his heart, in fact, he has been relieved, but he is on the journey, and he can't help but recall the past in the desert, and he thinks of the blood in Songdian, that one is like a jade shadow, how many times have he gone back and forth to deeply burn his heart, since today to the north, in this life... Should I never see him again? When I think about this, I can't help but be stunned.

"It's okay." Yang Zhong thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Xiaokuan, you said, now that Zhu Rongquan is leaning towards Great Wei, Ah Dou Ni and others have always done things under his command, presumably at this time, they must also be soaring?" He was looking for a conversation and deliberately interrupted, lest Pei Guo always be distracted.

"What do you mean?" Pei Guo frowned: "Are you going to vote for them?" Shaking his head again and again: "You and I are still members of the Liang Army, although I don't know what the future holds, at this time, I can't do such a thing." ”

"Not really." Yang Zhong laughed: "Xiaokuan is a backbone, but I, Yang Zhong, also have my own arrogance, how can I be that repeated person for no reason?" ”

Yang Zhong paused, and then said, "I'm just lamenting the impermanence of the world. Do you think, at the beginning, the two of me threw themselves into the beam, probably because of your uncle Yuan Minggong, and because of the great power of Yuan Yuan, at that time, Adou Ni was just nesting in Xiurong River and looking up to people, so you and I felt that it was not bad to try our luck in the south. I don't want a few years to pass, although Yuan Minggong has passed away, Yuan Yuan is also a blade for you, and A Dou mud is a few of them, hehe, most of them have already swam in the sea and the eagle is flying in the clouds. ”

Pei Guo looked at the north and said leisurely: "Isn't it a good thing that he has a good future?" ”

"I'm only worried that one day, when my brothers reunite, it will be on the battlefield...

"Later, let's talk about it later... Pei Guo was a little excited.

Yang Zhong provoked this small talk, originally hoping that Pei Guo would cheer up, and he didn't want to talk about it, seeing that Pei Guo was about to be "depressed" again, he couldn't help but be a little anxious, and said with a sneer: "Maybe it's just that I'm too worried." Thinking that Zhu Rong has already retreated to Jinyang, I am afraid that there are thousands of miles away from here. If you want me to say, our army only has this little number of people, and most of them can't even reach Luoyang, let alone Jinyang, how can they bump into Adou Ni and him? ”

Pei Guowan smiled: "Yes." ”

。。。。。。

Seven thousand white-robed troops came out of Wuyang, marched due north, and arrived at Gongcheng (now Suixi County, Huaibei City, Anhui Province) within a day or two.

Gongcheng, a small county, the city is low and shallow, and there are few defenders. Chen Qingzhi ordered 7,000 white-robed troops to go out, and Pei Guo, Yang Zhong, Song Jingxiu, and Yu Tianshu each attacked four gates, and the defenders of Gongcheng couldn't hold it at all. With only one sprint, the Liang army had already landed in the city, and after a while, they won the city.

In this battle, the white-robed army suffered less than two hands, which can be described as a small test of the knife.

It traveled further northwest and reached Xiayi (now Xiayi County, Shangqiu City, Henan Province).

This city is also short and in disrepair, and the fewer the defenders, seeing the white-robed army coming like a dragon, gathering like clouds, the eyeballs are about to fall out. The soldiers at the head of the city were clamoring endlessly, and their arms were folded, making it clear that they would not defend the city.

The guard was helpless, so he had to open the door to dedicate the city, and also found a step for himself: "This is not the attack of the Liang army, it is actually the king of Beihai who raises the banner of righteousness, Zhuerzhu, and avenges the revenge of Heyin." I am a loyal minister of the Wei family, and I should welcome the king of Beihai into the city, and follow the king to take Luoyang directly, and restore my dynasty to Gang Sheji! The righteousness on his face was awe-inspiring.

The guards were so happy that they responded one after another: "They are all surnamed Yuan, who is the emperor is not the same?" ”

When Yuan Hao heard this, he was overjoyed, and went to the city to reward the "righteous army" and sealed many official positions, and the guard general was even promoted to six or seven levels in one go, and he was so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut.

The gentry in the city, who were trembling and trembling, heard that it was the king of Beihai Yuanhao, who was relieved a lot, so he took his family to "meet", and took the initiative to donate money and food, saying: "The king is here, and the Great Wei Zhongxing is hopeful!" "It turns out that the slaughter of Erzhurong Heyin is chilling to the families of the world.

Yuan Hao's heart was agitated, he intuitively felt that the destiny was in his body, he spoke much louder, and when he walked, he was very angry.

In the white-robed army, a group of generals felt quite angry, and looked for Chen Qingzhi to speak: "Obviously, it is the power of my army, and the Wei people have to surrender, why in a blink of an eye, it seems that it has all become the credit of his Yuanhao?" ”

"Isn't that good?" Chen Qingyi smiled: "Our army has few suspects, and since we have entered the Wei realm, it is also a problem to supply. It's rare that he has the ability to recruit soldiers and horses, and there are people who come up to send money and food, such a wonderful thing, hehe, don't want it in vain. ”

"Money and food are just that, those so-called soldiers and horses are all rabble, what is the use?"

"No matter how bad it is, it is also manpower, but also people's hearts. I entered Wei alone, and His Majesty didn't plan to send any more help, so I was pointing to this Yuan Hao to do something. Now it seems that this man has some hope in the Northland, but it has relieved me a lot. ”

"This Yuan Hao wants to be the emperor of Wei, but it's not easy to match." Someone admonished: "Just won a small Xiayi, he has been awarded the title of official Xu Jue, and he is very happy." In the future, if he is really called bigger, I have few soldiers, and I am lonely in the north, I am afraid that I will not be able to control this fang... ”

Chen Qingzhi said: "Carefully speaking, this time is really not a northern expedition, our army is originally a guest army, and it is to send Yuan Hao back to Wei." If he becomes bigger, it is in line with His Majesty's strategy of razing and razing, so why should you and I worry? ”

Everyone nodded, thoughtfully.

Chen Qingzhi laughed again: "Although people have no long-term worries, they must have near-term worries, but you also have too many worries?" At present, our army has only arrived in Xiayi, and if you want to enter Luo, you don't know how many cities and forts are lying in front of you. Small towns and small forts are not counted, and there are only big cities and towns with Suiyang (Liangguo County, now Shangqiu City, Henan Province. This Liang country is not the other Liang country, it is actually the name of Wei County), Kaocheng (now Shangqiu Minquan County, Henan Province), Daliang (now Kaifeng City, Henan Province), Xingyang (now Xingyang, Zhengzhou City, Henan Province), tsk, plus the Tiger Prison Xiongguan is the road... If you want me to say, instead of worrying about the difficulty of controlling Yuanhao, it is better to think more about how to attack the city and overcome the pass, which is the right reason. ”

"What the envoy said is very true!"

。。。。。。

The white-robed army made rapid progress, easily taking the two counties of Haocheng and Xiayi within ten days, and arrived in the southeast of Suiyang, an important town in Henan.

But it seems to confirm what Yang Zhong said, "most of the time you can't get to Luoyang", the sky suddenly falls goose feathers and heavy snow, and it goes on for days until thousands of miles are white, the roads are covered, and cars and horses are impassable.

Chen Qingzhi sighed leisurely: "This winter is cold and windy, and the snow is extremely heavy, I am afraid that before the beginning of spring, there is no way to move forward." ”

Yuan Hao's face was disappointed, but he was also an old man, how could he not distinguish the situation?

So the 7,000 white-robed troops returned to the division and retreated.
