In the first year of Wei Jianming (three years of Liangzhong Datong), in mid-May, Gao Huanbing went out of the letter capital, 20,000 horses and horses, crossed the Taihang Mountain from Jingcheng, and entered the Jin. At this time, it is three hundred and fifty miles away from Jinyang City.

Along the road, you can see the rebels of the six towns everywhere, or occupy the state city, or according to the mountains. The main forces of Guyin Douling Bufan and Poliu Han Chang are far away in the west and north of Jinyang City, and the scale of these rebels encountered on the way is not large, and the Jizhou army lineup is so grand and neat from a distance, most of them flee in the wind.

According to the reason, the soldiers are fast, it seems that these small groups of rebels along the way are really just scabies, don't pay attention to it at all, the Jizhou army should go all out to Jinyang. As a result, Gao Huan gave an order, as if he regarded these scattered rebels as the number one enemy, and the Jizhou army was careful and thorough, and worked tirelessly to clean them up one by one. Among the captured captives, all those who led the uprising, or those who committed the most heinous crimes, were killed, and the rest were tied with long ropes, so that one shot moved east to Hebei.

If Gao Huan wants to clear the back road in order to consolidate the grain road, it is reasonable, but in this way, the speed of travel will inevitably be greatly delayed. A whole month passed, until the middle of June, the Jizhou army was still three hundred and fifty miles away from the Jinyang City--- there was no other, the Jizhou army passed through the well, should have moved forward due west, but it was suddenly north and south, and had been jumping up and down in Leping County (County Zhi Leping, now Xiyang County, Jinzhong City, Shanxi Province).

He Lou Wulan, the governor of Wuyi County, Jizhou, muttered: "Envoy, this... But what are the plans? ”

"What's the hurry?" Gao Huan smiled: "Although Er Zhuzhao wants to save him, he might as well let Sudouling Bufan cut a few layers of skin from him first." ”

He Lou Wulan's eyes lit up: "Makes sense!" Makes sense! ”

。。。。。。

"Where did Gao Huan go?" In Jinyang City, Erzhu Zhao, who had been holding on for a long time, was already overwhelmed, and was roaring in front of the hall at this time.

The subordinate with a sad face took out one letter after another, and there was always a thick waft, and replied tremblingly: "This... These are the battle reports of the high envoys. The subordinates carefully looked at it, and on May 24, the Jizhou army exterminated more than 500 traitors in Shiai (now east of Yuxian County, Yangquan City, Shanxi Province); On the 29th, four thieves' villages were burned in Lianjian Mountain; On the fourth day of the first month of June, he killed the bandits in the Tiger Ditch and wiped out all his troops; On the ninth day of the sixth month, the army turned to the southeast. . . In this way, most of the Jizhou army was near Leping City at this time. ”

"What a mess! Isn't this a knife used to kill chickens? Er Zhuzhao couldn't cry or laugh: "What the hell is Gao Huan doing?" Going around in circles, still spinning in place for a long time? ”

"The high envoy Jun said that the mountains and rivers in Jindi are dangerous, and the bridges and plank roads are mostly destroyed by thieves, and the Jizhou army can only exterminate the thieves along the way first, so as to secure the back road; I have to open mountains and build bridges from time to time, so there are many delays. . . . ”

"That's it, don't talk about it anymore!" Er Zhuzhao was dizzy when he heard this, he was already impatient, waved his hand, and shouted: "Send fast horses again, urge Gao Huan to come to Jinyang quickly!" ”

As soon as the words fell, three or five generals broke in outside, all with blood on their heads and faces, and when they saw Er Zhu Zhao, they fell to their knees and cried: "King! Things are not good, the thief handsome Douling Bufan personally came to the front of the battle to beat the drum, the thief army offensive intensified, and the northwest corner of the city wall has collapsed a large area. . . ”

"What?" Erzhu Zhao was shocked.

"It's not the only one..." Another humanitarian: "Xizuo sent a message desperately, saying that the thief will break the six Han Changzheng to gather troops and horses, and will make a detour to Yuci (now Jinzhong City, Shanxi Province) within a day or two." This... This is the back road to copy my Jinyang! ”

"This..." Er Zhu Zhao's face turned pale, his fingers trembled, and his mouth muttered even more: "Jinyang may be difficult to defend, if I teach the thief to cut off my back road... Is it not that you will die without a place to be buried? ”

As soon as he thought of this, Er Zhuzhao no longer hesitated, jumped up and shouted: "Let the whole army prepare early, as soon as the thieves retreat, open the south gate tonight and evacuate Jinyang!" ”

A cadre of generals thought that they were also scared of the Xirong people, and they applauded when they heard the words. Only the subordinate asked blankly: "King, where are you going to retreat after leaving Jinyang?" ”

"Idiot! Naturally, I went to Leping County! Erzhu Zhao was angry: "If Gao Huan doesn't come to see me, can't I still see him?" ”
