On the west bank of the river, near the pontoon bridge, the prime minister of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, the general of Tianzhu, and the king of Qi Gao Huan howled against the river and wept bitterly.

It turned out that the big guy fled in a hurry, and many people were scattered, and there was no trace at this time. However, the exact news came, Jizhou Assassin Shi, General Wei, and Wuwei County Duke Duan Rong could not escape, and they were already killed in the chaos last night.

Duan Rong is Gao Huan's brother-in-law, and the two are also small and affectionate. Similar to Dou Tai, Duan Rong has always been Gao Huan's right-hand man who relies on Xinzhong the most. I don't want to lose Dou Tai in the previous Xiaoguan defeat, and this time I killed Duan Rong in the Shayuan Battle, Gao Huan thought of this, he was already sad, and then looked up, the mountains and fields in his eyes were full of Eastern Army routs, all of them were grizzled, all of them were running in panic, and there were those who fled in a hurry, so they had to step on the pontoon bridge, and they actually pushed the comrades who were blocking the front down the river, just to be able to escape faster...

At the beginning, the strength of the whole country was raised, and the vast army of 200,000 people came, and I thought that I would be able to pacify Kansai with one drum, but once the army was defeated, it was so down. . . The more Gao Huan thought about it, the more bitter he became, and he couldn't help but feel sad, and cried on the spot. Whimpered and whimpered, and he was crying.

While he was crying, suddenly someone on the side said fiercely: "King! The black thief thought he had won, and at this time he was in a hurry to pursue and kill the rout of our army, and the rear would be defenseless. Why don't I lead the army to the south secretly, cross the Wei River, and then go straight to the west and take Chang'an. In this way, you may be able to win Chang'an City in one drum, and the momentum of victory and defeat will be reversed immediately! ”

Gao Huan was stunned, and when he turned his head to look, it was Hou Jing who was talking.

Hou Jing didn't speak, just said this, Gao Huan couldn't help but open his eyes, just swept away, and his chest was churning endlessly, the so-called "anger does not hit one place" is also.

It turned out that Shayuan was defeated, all the departments suffered heavy losses, and the establishment was completely wiped out, but this Hou Jing Department, at this time, looked at the neat personnel and almost no damage--- needless to say, it is natural that this guy hid behind during the battle and did not work hard, and when he escaped, he took the lead, so he had to do so.

Gao Huan was extremely angry, and the horsewhip in his hand was almost raised and pumped over, and after thinking about it, his own new defeat, the sum of the armies on his side was less than half of Hou Jing's command, in case he really provoked this lame, but he didn't want to give birth to another kind of disaster... So I had to give up.

In fact, Hou Jing's advice inevitably had no chance of success, but Gao Huan just smiled coldly, shook his head and said: "That's it, the 200,000 army has never made any contributions, you are only 20,000 people here, what can you do?" Hurry up and get out. ”

At that moment, the army did not hesitate, and rushed to the pontoon bridge. Gao Huan was leaving, and he looked back hatefully, knowing that he didn't know when he would have the opportunity to set foot in the west of the river again, he was depressed, but there was no solution...

。。。。。。

Gao Huan finally crossed the river and arrived at the east of the river, and Murong Shaozong, who was stationed here, hurried to greet him.

The two will be peaceful, and the army will be boosted. There were also shouts in the army, saying that they wanted to regain their strength and then go back to the west bank.

Gao Huan hesitated for a while, he really couldn't make up his mind, and he thought that there were still many defeated troops still stranded on the west bank, so he ordered him to temporarily stay near Pusaka on the east bank of the river, wait and see what happens, and then make plans.

Unexpectedly, the house leak happened to be raining, and in the middle of the night, most of it was because of the remnants of the defeated army that fled back, and Puhan Dazhai actually blew up the camp! Many barracks were lit on fire, and everywhere there were people shouting and running barefoot...

It is also said that "disaster is not a single line", the courage of the Western Army is really too big, and it is actually Yuwentai who sneaks across the pontoon bridge in the dark--- it is Yuwentai who led an army to raid in person, and Pei Guo led the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to come together, just like two dragons, crashed into the already chaotic Eastern Army Village, set fire to kill people everywhere, and stirred up the world and the world.

Dazhai has become a living hell, the fire is burning with knives, and the eastern army is all running around in a frenzy, falling into each other's hands, and the casualties are getting worse. Whether it is Hou Jing or Murong Shaozong, no one can suppress it, this moment is just to protect Gao Huan and desperately squeeze out of danger. However, the camp was so chaotic that for a while the sect was blocked inside and couldn't break out, seeing the Western army chasing behind him, it was difficult for him to move forward.

At the critical moment, Xue Guyan stepped forward and led a diehard to return to the retrograde, sacrificing his life. Hou Jing was also ruthless at this time, and he slashed at the front with a knife, no matter which one he was blocking in front, one shot down counted.

Xue Gu fought and left, and in one day, he actually cut fifteen swords, and there was no scar on his body, so he reluctantly forced the Western Army back. Gao Huan and the others escaped alive, and the road was miserable and miserable, and they retreated to Jinyang in embarrassment.

The western army fought repeatedly, and at this moment it was also tired, and Yuwentai also knew that the Jinyang city was really where Gao Huan was fundamental, and he must not advance hastily, and he would triumph at the moment and no longer chase eastward.

Yu Wentai ran to find Pei Guo again, and the two of them were combined, feeling that Gao Huan had really broken his muscles and bones this time, and he was powerless to fight back in a short time. The two then made up their minds not to return to Guanzhong for the time being, but instead went out in all directions, attacking cities everywhere on the land of Hedong, vowing to turn the ground in Guanzhong into a large rear.

At the beginning, the two of them had made bold claims to seize the land east of the river, and they were aggrieved for several years, and so far they finally had to fulfill it.

。。。。。。

In the Prime Minister's Mansion of Jinyang City, Gao Cheng, the prince who learned of the defeat on the front line, had rushed from Yecheng to see Gao Huan.

The father and son did not stage a scene of hugging and crying, at this time Gao Huan's mood had calmed down greatly, and he told the story of the Western Expedition.

During this period, many omissions were obviously caused by Gao Huan's mistakes in using troops, but he deliberately avoided talking about them. Gao Cheng listened quietly and didn't break it.

When it was said that Shayuan was defeated later and the remnants of the Eastern Army retreated to the west bank of the river, Gao Cheng couldn't help but interject: "What did Ye Ye do at that time, Hou Jing's plan to sneak attack Chang'an?" This may be an opportunity for reversal ... ”

"Cheng'er is still young... Gao Huan patted the thin shoulder of the eldest son and sneered: "Hou lame, this person... If he really captures Chang'an, he can command Guanzhong... Hmph, do you think he will come back to Kanto obediently? Guanzhong went to a Yuwen black thief, but he wanted one more lame man, what good would it do me? ”

Gao Cheng suddenly realized, hating and cursing Hou Jing endlessly. After scolding for a moment, he suddenly remembered something, then raised his head and arched his hand: "yes yes! When the son was in Yecheng, he saw that the officials were greedy and extravagant, and the people were disgusted with it, and they all said, "The world is no longer high, and the king used to be in Hebei when he was clear and clear." This is really sad! ”

Gao Huan sighed and said leisurely: "My son... What do you think? ”

"If today's Qingming is no longer the same as before, it is precisely because the court and the Chinese are all like Hou Jing's generation, arrogant and lawless! The child is about to ask his father to return to Ye by order, and he must punish corruption and violence, and eliminate the government and the opposition! ”

"Hey... Gao Huan sighed again: "No, no... ”

Gao Cheng froze: "This... But why? ”

"Our army has been newly defeated, and its vitality has been greatly damaged, so I am afraid that the country will be unstable." Gao Huan said quietly: "This defeat, I estimate that many people inside and outside the government and the opposition will be blind. The black thief in the west inevitably had to send someone to Kanto to divide around, and there was that Xiao Lao'er in Jiangdong who prided himself on being orthodox... At this time, once I am severely punished and the law is severe, I am afraid that the military attachés will run away to Guanzhong, and the scholars and doctors will have to go south to Jiangdong, which... And how to do it. ”

"This..." Gao Cheng scratched his head and scratched his ears, obviously very unwilling, but he had no plan to deal with it.

"My son ... Just bear with me for now. ”

。。。。。。

Soon, all the units of the Eastern Army returned to their own towns, and Gao Huan issued an order from the Prime Minister's Mansion to let the Yecheng Imperial Court issue an edict and grant amnesty to the world.

This time, the soldiers and the wounded were all compensated, and Duan Rong was even posthumously crowned king. The rest of the generals were also rewarded, and even most of the officials in the Yecheng court also received some rewards. Although Gao Huan's move was a bit of a cover-up, he temporarily calmed the hearts of the Eastern Wei people.

Only Hou Jing is one, Gao Huan not only hated his bad ideas so that he couldn't burn Luhai, but also angry that he refused to use his life during the war and only focused on self-preservation, so there was no reward at all. This is still Gao Huan's jealousy of Hou Jing who has been running Yuzhou for a long time, and his command has long been self-contained, otherwise, I am afraid that he will take Hou Jing and go straight to the knife.

Hou Jing was also not angry, so he went to bewitch Peng Le: "Ah Le bravely crowned the whole army, and fought until the intestines flowed, so that the western thieves retreated, and the result was only one level, and the feud did not increase by half a point." And the father and son of Hu Lujin are just doing some verbal work, but they have to double the feudal estate, increase the official and promote the knighthood... King Gao's time is inevitably a little unfair! ”

After hearing this, Peng Le was really unhappy and slandered Gao Huan.

These are all afterwords, not pressed.
