"Sir, how do you do it? But it doesn't hurt to talk about it. Yang Xuangan's eyes lit up, knowing that Li Mi already had an idea, and asked anxiously.

"Fortunately, our army is only 20,000 horses, and no one knows about the quiet departure tonight. Zhu Denggongzi can be allowed to go to the army to hoard grain in the middle of the night tonight, kill the grain guards, rob the grain mules and horses, and then hide the whole army in the mountains to the south overnight. ”

"This ---" Yang Xuan suddenly hesitated when he heard this, because if he did this, he would completely oppose the kings of the Central Plains, and he would be in absolute isolation.

"Father-in-law, my son and Yang Guang have a grudge against their father, and my father-in-law is also the person Yang Guang will kill. If you can get a way out according to Mr. Wang's words, what else can't you give up? After this battle, Wang Shichong and other kings will inevitably be wiped out, so why should we die here. Zhu Deng said anxiously.

"Brother Xuangan, as the saying goes, "people don't kill the heavens and the earth for themselves", if after tonight, when the kings of tomorrow divide all the grain and grass, you and I can only wait for death. ”

"Good! As long as I and the others are kept, I can't care about the rest. Deng'er, tonight he led 5,000 men to attack the grain depot, and remember not to disturb the kings. After the success of the grain robbery, the grain will be transported to the mountains to the south, and the army will be waiting for you in the mountains for my father and my husband. Yang Xuangan's face sank, and his heart turned to Zhu Deng.

"Father-in-law, Mr. rest assured, he will rob the grain and grass tonight, even if he alarms the kings and people, he is not afraid." Zhu Deng replied sharply.

"Good! There's still some time to prepare. ”

It was late at night, and Du Fuwei did not sleep, but walked back and forth in the tent, and there were two brothers in the tent that he had specially invited to consult.

"Big brother, according to the brother's plan, he simply burned the rebel grain depot first, see how long he can hold on?" Chen Liuer still insisted on his own idea and tried to convince Du Fuwei.

"The younger brother thinks it's better to go back directly to Hanguguan and join the Luzhou army, and he has already left the place of right and wrong." Ruan Fei suggested.

"Tomorrow's military tent meeting, what if so-and-so directly persuades the kings to surrender?" Du Fuwei thought differently from the two brothers, if he could directly persuade the kings to surrender to the lord with his own mouth, it would be the best result, but he just didn't know the bottom in his heart, so he asked the opinions of the two brothers.

"Big brother, why do you still think like this? The younger brother said that this plan didn't work. If the alliance leader Wang Shichong came forward to propose, it was possible. I, the Jianghuai Army, came here to join the alliance to join in the fun, and the people were soft-spoken, how could they say that the kings were invited to surrender and become ministers. Chen Liuer strongly objected.

"Alas! We led the army to come at the behest of the lord, and what we wanted was for us to turn against us at key points and deal a heavy blow to the rebels, so as to boost the morale of the kings. What is the key point? The Luzhou army in Hangu Pass is too far away from here, and if it is a defection and lacks the response of the Luzhou army, the risk is too great. It is better to wait a few more days, and then turn against the army when the food is exhausted. ”

While the three of them were discussing, suddenly the door of the military tent curtain was lifted, and a Chinese military flag came in.

"My lord, you let the little one monitor the movements of the kings, and the other kings have no vision, only Yang Xuangan, the king of Chu in the remote village, has signs of military movement, as if he is preparing to pull out the village and leave."

"Oh! Can you see clearly? Du Fuwei suddenly asked when he heard the news.

"That's right, sir. The fine work lurking in the army of the king of Chu took advantage of the darkness of the night to find out the news from the camp, and the little one personally looked closer, and he was indeed cleaning up the camp, but he didn't know where he was going? Or absconded in the middle of the night. ”

"Humph! It wouldn't hurt if the other anti-kings escaped one or two, but they couldn't let go of Yang Xuangan's father and son. Go and keep watch outside his camp and see where he goes? Du Fuwei commanded sharply, and the flag officer of the Military Intelligence Department immediately went out after answering.

"Big brother, doesn't Yang Xuangan want to go north to the river to find a boat and escape along the river?" Chen Liuer guessed.

"If you can't find a boat, it's in vain, and you won't be able to escape from the hands of the lord." Ruan Fei said.

"Hmmm! What the fourth said is reasonable, and it is useless to flee north. It is possible to go south into the mountains, but there is no way to go in the mountains, and if you go in, you will die. Duvowe looked at the map and whispered, shaking his head from time to time.

At this time, the curtain was lifted again, and the Chinese army that had originally gone out came to report again: "My lord, Yang Xuangan's department really moved, about thousands of cavalry went to the direction of Dazhai, the granary of the army, the horses' hooves were wrapped in thick cloth, and the leader of the army was Zhu Deng, who should go to grab grain at night." ”

"Oh? Now the food in the army of the kings is uniformly allocated by Wang Shichong, and he must have escaped when he went to attack the grain depot. You hurry up and explore to see if Yang Xuangan's brigade has gone south into the mountains? Du Fuwei seemed to have touched the doorway where Yang Xuan was anxious to grab grain. After receiving the order, the Chinese army flag hurriedly ran out of the big tent.

"The third, fourth, you two hurry up and take 1,000 people each to the direction of the grain depot to have a look, if Zhu Deng takes advantage of the night to rob the grain, be sure to block his way, Yang Xuangan wants to flee to the mountains without food, it is also a death."

"Yes." After Chen Liu'er and Ruan Fei responded, they immediately went to the camp to order troops.

Du Fuwei went out of the account, raised his eyes to look in the direction of the rebel grain storage village, and saw that there seemed to be a fire flashing in the grain depot in the distance.

"Quick, don't worry about extinguishing the fire, immediately move the food to the car, if the car is full, each person will carry a bag of food and put it on their own horses, quick!" Zhu Deng was already red-eyed at this time, and eagerly ordered his 5,000 cavalry. Several fires were also accidentally ignited during a sneak attack on the barracks of the garrison of the grain depot, and Zhu Deng didn't care about extinguishing the fire, but only urged the soldiers to carry the grain.

"Little Wangye, more than 300 mules and horses have been filled, and each soldier has a bag of grain immediately. A lieutenant general ran to Zhu Deng's body to report.

"No need, get out of here immediately." After that, Zhu Deng took the lead in rushing out of the grain depot village with a flick of his horse's head, but he encountered a dart man coming. In the dark night, it was impossible to tell which prince's men were blocking the way.

"What a Zhu Deng, he dared to rob food at night, and he wanted to take you to see the alliance leader." The person blocking Zhu Deng's departure was Chen Liuer's army.

"Huh! The nameless general dares to block a certain way and look for death! With that, Zhu Deng stepped forward with a spear, and the two fought in one place in the dark night with the light of the fire.

How could Zhu Deng's martial arts and marksmanship be outstanding, Chen Liu'er was in a hurry after only a few combinations, and could only barely resist, and he was about to be picked off by Zhu Deng's shot.

"Third brother, don't panic, Ruan Fei is here." When Chen Liu'er was in a panic, the fourth Ruan Fei led the army to finally arrive, with a knife and a gun, and the two fought Zhu Deng.

Although the strength of the two of them tried their best to resist, they were still not the opponent of Zhu Deng, who was alone and single-handed, and after more than 30 combinations, the two of them could not resist the enemy, and they only tried their best to block, and they had no power to fight back, so they could only fight and retreat. His 2,000 men and horses were also scattered by Zhu Deng's 5,000 cavalry.

Zhu Deng saw that he had already killed and blocked the enemy, the men and horses of the headquarters had left the grain depot Dazhai, and hundreds of mule carts were driven away by his troops and gradually moved away, Zhu Deng was not in love with the battle, and only stabbed Chen Liuer's war horse with one shot, and the horse immediately fell to the ground and lifted Chen Liuer off the horse. turned around and stabbed Ruan Fei in the left arm again, Ruan Fei shouted and abandoned the gun and fell off the horse, only to dodge Zhu Deng's continuous stabbing shots.

"Humph! I have no enmity against you, spare your two lives, don't rush to catch up, go somebody! Zhu Deng saw that the two generals fell off their horses in an instant, and he was secretly happy in his heart, and saw that the two generals had already gotten up and ran into his own army, so he didn't go to catch up, but after a loud shout, he turned his horse and chased after his own horses. Chen Liuer and Ruan Fei were each injured and did not dare to chase after them.

"Fourth, are you seriously injured? This Zhu Deng kid is very capable, you and my brother really can't stop it, seeing that the direction he fled is to the south, you and I will quickly return to the eldest brother. ”

"Who dares to plunder the army's grain village in the middle of the night?" Just as Chen Liu'er and Ruan Fei were about to leave when they were helped by the pro-army junior colonel on their war horses, a general rushed in the darkness in the distance and asked loudly.

"Which prince's centaur are you? The one who plundered the military grain was Zhu Deng, the son of Yang Xuangan, the king of Chu, and the two of us were the generals of the Shanyang Gong, who came to protect the grain, but they couldn't stop it, and they injured both of my brothers by eating him, and he went to the mountains to the south. ”

"Oh! Sure enough, it is the virtue of Caokou, and a certain Jinan general Tang Long is also. The two of you quickly go back to heal your wounds, and go chase him back. Tang Long led his army to the south and chased straight away.

"Little prince, there is an army chasing after me, and I can't go fast when I wait for the grain truck to be too heavy." Zhu Deng, who was escorting the grain cart behind the military palace, received a report from behind him, and hurriedly turned his horse to stop and look at the black shadow chasing behind. In the moonlight, a general could be faintly seen rushing forward with a knife, chasing and scolding.

Zhu Deng said to the guards: "You wait to escort the grain cart to go first, and the chasing soldiers will resist by a certain person." Looking at the general who was chasing after him, listening to the chatter and scolding in his mouth, Zhu Deng was already on fire.

Seeing that the general was getting closer, Judden Prancing Horse rushed out of the darkness under a tree, and without speaking, he raised his gun and stabbed.

The person chasing was Tang Long, the marshal of Jinan, and at this time he also saw a team of people and horses driving mule carts not far away to the south, Tang Long was anxious to urge the horse to speed up, while scolding in his mouth, completely unguarded, there was a black shadow hidden under the tree on the side of the road.

At this time, Zhu Deng suddenly killed, Tang Long was suddenly startled, and Le Ma stopped urgently. At this time, Zhu Deng's silver spear had already stabbed over, Tang Long held the reins in one hand, and saw the silver spear stabbing again, and immediately hurried, holding the gun in one hand to dial the gun that Zhu Deng stabbed. Unexpectedly, Zhu Deng's shot was a false stab, and when he saw that a gun was coming, Zhu Deng immediately collected the gun and dodged it, and instantly stabbed out a shot. When Tang Long wanted to dial it with one hand again, it was too late, and when he heard the sound of "poof", the silver spear in Zhu Deng's hand had already pierced Tang Long's throat. Tang Long suddenly fell off his horse, and after kicking his feet for a while, he died of anger.

Zhu Deng saw that he had taken down the enemy general with a shot, and he didn't know who this person was, so he came to Tang Longma, grabbed the reins of the horse with one hand, turned around and chased after the team. At this time, the personal guards behind Tang Long rushed to the place where Tang Long had fallen off his horse. But when he saw that the Lord was dead, he stopped chasing him, and took up the body of the Lord and returned to the camp to report the funeral.

After dawn, Wang Shichong came to the grain village to check. I saw a lot of grain sprinkled on the ground, and the people who guarded the grain were all him, and most of the soldiers in Luoyang were dead. The kings behind him couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh when they saw that the grain village was robbed, and they had nothing to say.

Back to the big tent of the Chinese army, the kings sat down separately. Du Fuwei was angry at this time, and he also came to the tent with the injured two generals.

"Alliance leader, last night, in order to prevent Yang Xuangan's rebellious army from looting and storing grain, two generals under a certain command were injured by Zhu Deng, and my father has to have an explanation." After Du Fuwei sat down, he sharply questioned Wang Shichong.

"Duke Shanyang, the king of Chu turned his back and robbed the public grain privately, and the leader of this alliance did not expect it. Now only sincere unity can survive this catastrophe! Wang Shichong said with an embarrassed face, it was he who first advocated the introduction of Yang Xuangan of Red Peach Mountain into the anti-Sui army, but it was this Yang Xuangan who fled first without wanting to leave, and he also robbed some of the grain, which directly disturbed the hearts of the kings, and now the kings in the tent are panicking and suspicious of each other.

"Woo woo woo--- alliance leader, last night our army commander Tang Long went to chase Zhu Deng, I didn't want to die under Zhu Deng's thief's gun, and now the body is stored in our army's tent, and the alliance leader also needs to give my Jinan army an explanation." Tang Xian, deputy marshal of the Jinan Army, cried and read.

"Dog RD Zhu Deng, it's really hateful, it's okay to grab food, but also to hurt people, if it falls into the hands of a certain family, he will have to be dismantled to relieve his hatred." Meng Haigong shouted and scolded.

"Okay, don't scold the matter at this point, in order to prevent this incident from happening again, the leader of this alliance has decided to divide the existing grain according to the number of kings' men and horses, and let the kings keep it. Fortunately, there was not much food that was robbed last night, and the food you received could last for a few days. It's just that we are surrounded here, and sooner or later we will run out of food, and we still need to discuss how to solve the difficulty! Wang Shichong said helplessly.

As soon as they asked about the solution to the dilemma, the anti-kings of all the families were suddenly dumbfounded, looking at each other, and their faces were full of purple swelling, and there was only a sigh.

"Alliance leader, now that Yang Xuangan's troops have entered the Huashan Mountain Range in the south with grain, I think I want to enter the dense forest and high mountains to explore a road to Shangluo in the south, and our army can also follow and get out of this besieged predicament." Liu Wuzhou, the king of Dingyang, proposed to the kings and generals. As soon as the voice fell, it was recognized by several anti-kings. Only Du Fuwei laughed secretly in his heart, and the two generals behind him couldn't help but sneer.

"It's not proper, Yang Xuan has few touching people, and he grabbed food, maybe he can get out of the dense forest, but my army has more food and less food, who can guarantee that he can get out of the mountain in a few days? According to a certain point of view, it is the right way to take advantage of this to fight back at Hangu Pass. Lin Shihong, the king of Yucheng in Songzhou, proposed.

"King Yucheng, what if the food is exhausted and the Hangu Pass cannot be breached?" Xiangzhou White Emperor Gao Tan Saint asked.

"I think the king of Yucheng has no enmity with that Yang Guang, and this is to go to Hanguguan to surrender, right?" Meng Haigong, the king of Song Yi in Caozhou, said with a sneering yin and yang.

"You! Hum! If you can't fight, it's better to fall quickly than starve to death, and this king wants to send you down, what will you do? Lin Shihong yelled at Meng Haigong.

"Cangchang ----" There was a crisp sound of pulling the knife out of the sheath, and a female general jumped up beside Meng Haigong, pointed at Lin Shihong with a knife, and said: "If you dare to say anything again, the old lady will make him a ghost under the knife." ”

"Hey! Don't be arguing, Ma Niangniang, please take a seat. Instead of waiting for death here, it is better to return to Hangu Pass, where it is also an earthen wall, far less than the high wall of Tongguan City and the firearms near the pass, how about I wait to fight a dozen together? Wang Shichong had no choice but to obey Lin Shihong's opinion at this time.

"That's it! If you don't have a good plan to get out, it's better to go to Hangu Pass, and if you rush out, you will have the opportunity to fight King Jin again. Shen Faxing, the king of Ruyang, echoed Wang Shichong's statement.

When the kings heard this, they had no choice but to nod their heads and acquiesce, and there was no objection.

"Good! Everyone immediately returned to the camp to start the soldiers, and in the afternoon, the whole army pulled out the camp and returned to Hangu Pass. ”
