On the high post, Du Ya, who was sitting next to Du Huangsheng, said that I didn't fall for Wu Shaocheng's tricks, and he saw that the elite of the official army were all in Linying, so he sent an elite main force to take advantage of the weakness to take the eastern capital?

"Where the imperial capital of the Eastern Capital is located, if it is captured by Wu Shaocheng's troops, it is not enough for me to die to atone for my sins, please give up crossing the Xiaolu River for the time being and return to the Eastern Capital." Du Adam immediately spoke.

Du Huangshang was very calm, and did not move under the banner and umbrella cover, "This Huaixi mule soldier is walking the mountain trails of Tongbai and Fangcheng, and the number of people will not be large, and they have just arrived in Xiangcheng, and they have not even arrived in Ruzhou yet, what are you talking about seizing the eastern capital?" Staying behind should not be overwhelmed. The top priority is to cross the Xiaolu River and attack Lingyunzha and Yuncheng, which is where the main force of Cai Thief is, don't lose the big because of the small. ”

Seeing that Du Huangshang was holding on to his weight, the state of the entire camp stabilized.

Then Du Huangshang pointed loudly to the winding Xiaolu River on the south side of Longhegang, "All the generals and all the soldiers, those who cross the river first will be rewarded!" ”

Dozens of big drums suddenly shook the earth, Du Huangshang supervised all the officers and soldiers, all advanced to the bank of the Xiaolu River, more than ten miles, saw the shield on the opposite bank, there were Cai thief's camp and banner in turn, so they hesitated to look at each other.

"Today, those who enter will be rewarded, and those who do not enter will be killed." After Du Huangshang finished speaking, he asked the military envoys of each army, holding a pen and paper, to stand and monitor in order, "At sunset, if you still can't patrol, according to the rules that Gao Tang said beforehand, all the military envoys will be demoted to Yuanzhou Sima." ”

At this time, Shenwei General Liu Chang took the lead in turning back and shouting: "The order of the chief is as heavy as Mount Tai, you must obey, Chang crosses the river first." ”

After speaking, Liu Chang rode his horse and jumped into the rolling Xiaoli River, and then whipped hard and moved forward.

"The Divine Mighty Army takes the lead!" Although Zhang Wanfu was seventy years old, he wrapped the felt blanket on his armor, raised the phoenix mouth knife, and followed Liu Chang into the river on horseback.

Linghu Jian also rode his horse into the water, and then the cavalry of the Shenwei Army shouted and cheered back and forth, and entered the Xiaowei River one after another.

The chain effect came, and a young general of the Zhongwu Army, named Wang Pei, also shouted: "My husband's meritorious service is today." Then the first one jumped into the river.

The Loyal Military Festival made Quhuan take the opportunity to motivate the soldiers, "The imperial court raises the army for a thousand days for a while, if it is useless for a long time, how can there be face to the Holy Lord?" ”

So the cavalry of the Loyal Army also crossed the river one after another.

The soldiers and horses of the Longxiang army made Shi Wanqing, and the Zhenyi army made Yanzi Chu to cross the river.

Suddenly, in the sound of drums, hundreds of cavalry of several armies poured into the waves, and all kinds of armored battle flags, like flowers floating in the water, braved the arrows of three or three to trek forward, while the infantry army followed closely behind, rushing towards the opposite bank.

Ding Huaijin, the defender of the Huaixi River of Xiaoluhe, did not dare to make a stubborn resistance at all, but after releasing a string of arrows, he led the guerrillas to retreat into Lingyun Gate in a panic.

"What, Ding Huaijin let the officers and troops cross the Xiaopu River, how can this be reasonable, even if he can't fight, he should inform the other armies to fight to the death, so cowardly, he will not be spared!" Wu Shaocheng, who learned that the official army had successfully crossed the river in Yuncheng, was so angry that he asked Fang Ye, the spear general guarding Lingyunzha, to arrest Ding Huaijin and prepare to punish him.

However, at this time, a huge beacon fire was ignited at the beacon in the south of the city.

Then Wu Shaocheng saw an even more desperate scene:

About a mile away from the enemy platform in the south of the city, countless boats and boats are rolling in with each other, this is the soldiers and horses under the command of Gao Yue, and there are 16,000 people on foot. When the boats were covered with water, adjacent to the shore, like a temporary barrier, then the cavalry first occupied the key place in front, the infantry of the rear ship went first, the infantry of the front ship descended, and then along the Dali River, and began to build a camp in a decent manner.

Wu Shaocheng's head shook directly, and he felt as if something inside was getting bigger and bigger, and it was about to burst out.

At this time, Li Yuanping was also colorless.

"I don't know if there are officials and soldiers ...... Cai" After a long time, Wu Shaocheng asked this sentence weakly.

He guessed correctly, Fan Xichao had 5,000 cavalry, and after conquering Shenqiu, he was really attacking Shangcai along Xiaorushui.

There is a place in Shangcai, the name is called Huiqu, and there is a bridge called Xingqiao in Huiqu, which is erected on the Rushui River, if this place is lost, the passage between Yuncheng and Runan City can be cut off.

That is to say, Wu Shaocheng will have no way to retreat, and must be buried in Yuncheng.

Facing Wu Shaocheng's questioning, Li Yuanping's teeth fought, and his thoughts were violently shaken:

There are two roads, one is to stick to Yuncheng, and the officials and soldiers of all roads have arrived, Yuncheng will soon be surrounded to death, and Wu Shaocheng and him will be unable to fly;

Another is to take advantage of the fact that the official army has not completely surrounded Yuncheng, the light cavalry escaped, ran to Quxing Bridge, and fled back to Runan, but the problem is that this is equivalent to throwing all the elites in Yuncheng, not to mention that the whole family is gone, and the reputation in Huaixi will also be gone, and when it comes to Runan City, it is just from one desperate situation to another, and it will not last long, and it will eventually fall.

At most, it is the difference between dying happily or dying.

Under the sunset, Li Yuanping's face was sallow, and he suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood at Wu Shaocheng.

At this time, he finally felt that in front of the general trend of history, individuals had exhausted their wisdom and cunning, and they were still contemptuous of small existences, and in the end they were still inevitably crushed.

Wu Shaocheng trembled his lips and looked at him.

In the end, Li Yuanping knelt down, held on to the battlement, and admitted in a wailing voice:

"So-and-so has been calculated."

Wu Shaocheng raised his head at the moment and mourned.

"If you die, you are willing to die with your family in Runan City." After crying, Wu Shaocheng lowered his head, held his sword, and said in despair.

Li Yuanping fell limply on the ground, he understood Wu Shaocheng's thoughts, in short, everything was over.

At sunset, Liu Yihuai of the Xuanwu Army also crossed the Xiaoshang River and camped in the northeast of Yuncheng.

And Du Huangshang, who supervised the war, sent his judge, Kong Chaofu, to Yuncheng and asked to see Wu Shaocheng.

Kong Chao's father brought an ultimatum from the imperial court, asking Wu Shaocheng to stop making senseless resistance and surrender quickly.

In addition, Kong Chao's father also negotiated on behalf of Gao Yue that if Wu Shaocheng could send the wife and four children of Yang Yuanqing, the assassin of Xingzhou, out of the city safely, hand them over to him to bring back, and peacefully sacrifice Yuncheng and Runan, then the imperial court would allow Wu Shaocheng and others to go to the guest province in plain clothes, and the ministers of the court would publicly discuss and convict them, and the officials and soldiers would guarantee that they would not harm the people and soldiers of Shenguang Cai.

At this time, Wu Shaocheng, who was sitting on the pu mat, had completely turned into a despicable and cruel beast, he drew his sword and said to Kong Chao's father: "The traitor Gao Yue is the country, framing the important town of the domain, and under the nest of Huaixi, there is the egg of my Wu clan?" Knowing that death is inevitable, I am willing to kill you and Yang Yuanqing's wife and children after killing the angel, and it is not too late to die. ”

Kong Chao's father was shocked, and the Huaixi generals present were also shocked, and many people knelt down and pleaded, saying that Kong Chao's father was a saint and an envoy to the imperial court, and if he was killed, Huaixi was afraid that there would be no rubble in the future.

"Then I won't kill, and I will take you as a hostage, doctor, in exchange for the official army retreating from Yuncheng." Then, despite Kong Chao's father's angry scolding, Wu Shaocheng still let the soldiers on his side tie him up.
