Yang Su ordered the three armies, stored grain and grass, pickled horse meat, and continued northward, because the army was caught by surprise by the rebels, crossed Jinzhou, and entered the land of Fenzhou. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the third year of the emperor's reign, Emperor Wen abolished the county level in the administrative region, and changed the three-level state, county, and county that had been implemented for 400 years to the two-level system of prefectures and counties, with six or seven counties in each prefecture; After Emperor Yang of Sui ascended the throne, in the third year of the Great Cause, the state was changed to a county, and since then it has become a county and county system.

The imperial army and horses crossed the Yellow River, successively passed through Puzhou, Jinzhou, and arrived in Fenzhou, if you look at the geographical map of the Great Sui not long after, it should be Hedong County, Jiang County, and Linfen County.

Zhao Zikai's army, which was stationed in Fenzhou, had only 50,000 horses, and Queen Cang retreated, but was severely damaged by an ambush that suddenly arrived at Yujuluo's army along the way.

That Yujuluo, who is also a fierce general with the courage of ten thousand people, leads the army strictly, is proficient in the art of war, is good at fighting ruthless battles, throws 8,000 men and horses, and is divided into four roads to attack the army of 40,000 or 50,000, and the momentum is still excessive.

Zhao Zikai's army, where did he encounter such a brave elite division, and on the way to retreat, there was a panicked and passive situation, and after a while, it was intercepted by thousands of people and horses, as if amputated, and began to rout.

"Sons! Kill the past—"

Yu Juluo held a big knife weighing dozens of pounds, and between opening and closing, he cut off people's heads, as powerful as a knife cutting a watermelon.

The surrounding rebel soldiers were frightened to avoid when they saw that he had heavy pupils, a burly body, a murderous aura, and a voice like a bell, like a killing god.

After a long day of fighting, tens of thousands of troops were defeated, and Yujuluo pursued with thousands of troops, covering and killing tens of thousands of enemies all the way.

At this point, only the remnants of the 100,000 army commanded by Zhao Zikai were defeated and fled.

When this news reached Yang Su, the three armies were excited and immediately captured Xiangling, Linfen, Yangxian, Huoyi and other cities, and the defenders here had no intention of resisting at all, and surrendered to meet the imperial army.

The problem of replenishing grain, grass, and military resources was immediately solved.

The next state is Jiezhou, Zhao Zikai, Pei Wenan and others are stationed outside Jiezhou, and at the same time send people to quickly spread the news of the defeat to Yang Liang in the rear.

The border between Jiezhou and Bingzhou, under the Yinquan Mountain, 80,000 troops are encamped, stretching for ten miles, and the sound is mighty.

Inside the manager's tent.

When Yang Liang received the latest battle situation, his face was pale, and he trembled with anger, and he successively sent two groups of nearly 200,000 soldiers and horses, but there were only less than 30,000 remnants left.

He sat on a tiger skin chair, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, his hands were a little shaky, and he realized that his great momentum was about to go.

There were 300,000 troops before, strong and strong, and the momentum was violent, and he didn't take the imperial army in his eyes, but he only felt that if he waved his army south, he would be able to sweep away all obstacles and successfully occupy the Beijing Division, and then he seized the imperial power and ascended the throne as the emperor.

It's a pity that it backfired, the ideal was very plump, the reality was very skinny, almost a defeat, and the three battles ended in a rout, so how did the soldiers have the courage to face the attacking imperial forbidden army?

Before the war started, Yang Liang felt that his momentum was weakened and his confidence was insufficient.

"General Xiao, among the three armies, you are the only one who has experienced a hundred battles, and you have been famous in Nanchen Hehe, and you are a hundred victorious generals, in this case, how should you deal with the enemy?"

Although Xiao Maha knew in his heart that he couldn't do it, he still wanted to do his best, and he gave his hand and said: "The last general feels that the current situation is not favorable to our army, once it is held, I am afraid that the momentum will decline even more.

Before the war, His Royal Highness can take the stage to point the generals, make a heavy promise, encourage and reward all the soldiers, and once they win, they will be promoted and rewarded, so that there will be brave men under the heavy reward, and there will still be a chance to fight! ”

Yang Liang heard this, hesitated, in fact, he was a little afraid of Yang Su, after all, the latter's prestige, he had heard of it when he was in Beijing, he was a prince before, and he was favored by Emperor Wen of Sui, and he didn't put Yang Su in his eyes at all, but now that he is hostile, he has no protection from his father, and he is still a little stunned in the face of such a fierce and invincible hero.

But Yang Liang had no other strategy, and when he asked other people, the reply he got was that he had to fight last, if he couldn't defeat the imperial army head-on, then they would all go to a dead end.

This is different from the troubled times, you can stick to it, a few years of fierce war, now it is the prosperous era, the unification of the Great Sui, the order is out of the court, Yang Liang took advantage of the death of the first emperor, the new monarch just ascended the throne when the rebellion was launched, under the guise of the Qing monarch's side, there is an opportunity, but if it is not quickly taken, but blocked, living in a place, soon after the court is running normally, the people's hearts, their rebels will be surrounded and suppressed by all sides, there is no chance of victory.

"Okay, this time, we can only take General Xiao as the commander, Wang Shizong and Zhao Zikai as the deputy commanders, leading the army to meet the enemy, and success or failure is here."

Xiao Maha's face was solemn, and he arched his hand and said: "The veteran has done his best, and he is dead, please retreat to Jinyang City in Bingzhou to wait for news." ”

Yang Liang nodded, silent, he had not personally experienced the battlefield fighting, and he was not familiar with the actual combat in the territory, at this time he had a fear of the imperial army, and he also had plans to retreat and merge with the state. (To be continued.) )
