Ma Sui beat the drum with his own hands, the Hedong army took 5,000 long swordsmen as the pioneer, the foot cavalry, archers, and chariots followed, and the blade was in the direction, Wei Bojun ambushed the corpse like hemp, Tian Yue and Tian Xu were shocked, and they no longer had the courage to fight to the death, just holding the horse's neck, mixed in the tide of defeat, rushing left and right, and couldn't find where to live.

In the direction of the barracks, the Shence army under the command of Li Sheng also bravely moved forward, and successively defeated the Chengde army and the Pinglu army in front of them, and now all the rebels were congested, and saw that the three pontoon bridges were burned by Ma Sui's ambush and cavalry, and they could only cry for their fathers and mothers, all of them were crowded on the edge of the river, and were cut down and beheaded by the officers and soldiers of the Hedong Army and the Shence Army who came in rows.

The horn sounded - Li Baozhen rode a horse, led 20,000 elite Zhaoyi troops, and killed from the ambush in the oblique thorn, before the battle, Li Baozhen had just taken fifty gold pills, and his face was as ruddy as a cloud, and he shouted under the banner of Shuai: "Catch up, shoot all the rebels to death with bows and arrows." ”

At the same time, Li Baozhen's eyes rolled, and he called Jia Lin, the general under his command: "The sheepskin bindings we prepared in advance can come in handy now, you take three thousand fine horses, don't go all the way, cross the Huanshui, remember to follow Tian Yue's banner, most of him is going to flee back to Weizhou." Remember, once Tian Yue is caught, he will be killed in a hurry, so the first credit for quelling the rebellion is the Zhaoyi Army! ”

At the edge of the river, the Zhaoyi army approached in a column, countless bows and crossbows swung, and rows of powerful arrows shot out in turn—the rebel soldiers who jumped into the icy water to escape were screaming miserably, their necks and backs were constantly hit by arrows, and the dead and wounded who were full of arrow feathers were stacked up, floating and sinking with the ice, and the dirty blood and muddy water were mixed together, exuding a compelling fishy smell.

Somewhere in a shallow stream, Jia Lin, who was ordered by Li Baozhen, led three thousand cavalry of the Zhaoyi Army, and all the horse's legs were tied with sheepskin to resist the cold.

Tian Yue didn't care about gathering the fleeing team at all, he took off all his armor, lay down on the saddle of his mount, and waded through the water with difficulty, Tian Xu's horse was shot, so he stepped into the waist-deep ice water, and he followed Tian Yue's mount by the tail, and almost didn't freeze to death.

After going to the other side, the two cousins only took a few hundred cronies and tooth soldiers, collected some defeated soldiers along the way, gathered thousands of people, and really fled directly to the east and to Wei Mansion.

Jalin's 2,000 horsemen were armed with torches, and they chased after them like lightning without unsaddling.

The rebels of Weibo, Ziqing, and Hengji who were abandoned by Tian Yue, totaling more than 30,000 people, most of them were killed in Huanshui, and the corpses were in the river.

Soon, when he was counting the captures, when he learned that Li Baozhen had sent Jia Lin to pursue Tian Yue again, Ma Sui was furious: "Li Ashi has started to fight for merit again!" Then he asked Li Ziliang and other generals to also enter the boundary of Weizhou, but not on the same road as Li Baozhen, "Li Ashi will go to Wei County, and we will go to Neihuang!" ”

On the southwest road of Weifu City, the mountains and forests on both sides are towering, Tian Yue and Tian Xu are embarrassed, with the defeated army day and night, all the way is the wind and cranes fleeing here, and then through here, you will see the old river embankment in the south of Fucheng, winding for several miles, across the riverbed that has dried up, and on the other side is the "Royal River" of Yongji Canal, the sound of water rumbles.

"I'm Tian Yue, open the door quickly!" Tian Yue rode his horse and galloped to the gate of Guo in the south of Weifu City, raising his hand and shouting.

At this time, on the horse surface of the city wall, the torches were raised together - the generals Li Changchun and Fu Lingqi who stayed in the Wei Mansion were behind the battlements of the women's wall, and they saw Tian Yue and Tian Xu under the city, but shouted: "Tian Shangshu should be in Huanshui at this moment, you are a fake!" ”

It turned out that Fu Lingqi had already had the intention of returning to the imperial court at this moment, so he took advantage of Tian Yue's army to lead the army to go on the expedition, and quietly persuaded Li Changchun, who was left behind, to occupy the entire Weifu City anyway, and at this time, the city gate was closed, and Tian Yue, who was defeated and left, could not be let in.

Tian Yue immediately knew that Fu and Li were backwater, and at this moment, there were pieces of torches on the side of the old river embankment, and the sound of horses' hooves came - Jia Lin's chasing horse was not far away, and if he wanted the other party to catch up, he would be finished.

So Tian Yue jumped off the horse crying, and together with more than a thousand defeated soldiers beside him, knelt down under the Nanguo city wall, and shouted: "I am really Tian Yue!" Huanshui was defeated, and the 30,000 Wei Bo disciples turned into war ghosts, even if I wasn't allowed in, I had to let the families of the soldiers of the Wei Mansion know! ”

The cries of the defeated soldiers were terrible, and soon the entire inner and outer cities of the Wei Mansion were heard, "Huanshui is defeated, and there are not more than one of the ten Wei Bo's children who return!" ”

In the whole Weibo Town, the soldiers and their families and relatives were tightly hugged, and behind a rebel was a family that resisted the imperial court - hearing this bad news, tens of thousands of soldiers' families in the city shook the sky, and rushed to the Nanguo city gate, kneeling densely all over the street, begging Li Changchun to open the city gate and let Tian Yue in.

The outside is the defeated soldiers, the inside is the family, and the middle is separated by the city wall and the gate, Li Changchun stood on the city tower, and began to waver and hesitate, but Fu Lingqi decided to persuade Li Changchun, he pointed to the fire on the side of the old river embankment: "That must be the official cavalry chasing Tian Rebellion, as long as you wait for another hour, the general will achieve an immortal great cause!" ”

Li Changchun looked here and there, sweating.

And all the way to Jia Lin under the Weifu City, seeing that the walls of Weifu City in the distance were full of torches, and there were shouts everywhere, he felt frightened in his heart, and did not dare to move forward hastily, so he ordered the cavalry under his command to retreat two miles to the camp at Weidian.

Almost at the same time, the Hedong Army led by Ma Sui arrived at Pingyi in the southwest of Weifu City, which was only more than 20 miles away from Tian Yue, "Don't go forward, let me set up camp!" Ma Sui dismounted and stepped into the Buddhist temple in Pingyi.

At this time, several cavalrymen sent by Jia Lin came, knelt in front of Ma Sui, and "Please shoot the servants and join forces to enter the Wei Mansion." ”

Ma Sui sneered and said, "Please report back to Li Zhaoyi - my Hedong soldiers have pursued here, people are sleepy and horses are tired, and we can continue to open after eating in this Buddhist temple!" ”

In this way, on this night, 20,000 Hedong soldiers camped around the Buddhist temple in Pingyi, lit fires, fed war horses, and did not advance half a step.

The opportunity to capture Tian Yue slipped away like this.

In peacetime, the mood of the people in the Wei Mansion became more intense, and the fearful Li Changchun could not see the pursuing officers and soldiers, and could not stand Tian Yue's coercion and temptation, so he finally did not listen to Fu Lingqi and opened the gate of Nanguo City.

Tian Yue and Tian Xu rushed in, the first thing was to close the city gate, send troops to defend it, and then grabbed Li Changchun and Fu Lingqi and tied them to the wooden stake in the courtyard of the military mansion. ”

Li Changchun only cared about pounding the wooden stake on the back of his head, and repeatedly shouted regret and remorse.

Seventy-nine-year-old Fu Lingqi scolded Li Changchun for being confused, and angrily reprimanded Tian Yue: "We are all members of the imperial court, how can we be in the same league with you and the rest of An Shi?" If you want to say rebellion, you Tian Yue are. ”

"Dig out their hearts and feed them to the dogs!" Tian Yue waved his hand and ordered Tian Xu beside him through gritted teeth.
