After another group of rebels roared, Wang Junkuo put away his bow and returned to his side.

"Zhang Shuai, we have to get out of here."

"Where are you going?"

Zhang Xutuo's expression was dejected, he had many wounds all over his body, although they were all bandaged, but there was still a trace of blood oozing from the belt. He can't even ride a horse now. It had been another sleepless night, and he was now sore and tired.

He couldn't remember how many days he had been asleep, and even if he was a little better now, he would often pass out.

"Isn't there any news from Daihai Temple yet?" Zhang Xutuo still can't forget his subordinates.

"Nope." Wang Junkuo couldn't bear to tell him the truth, couldn't bear to say that Jia Wuben put on his clothes and armor to lure the thief army in order to let him leave, and couldn't bear to tell him that 10,000 Henan soldiers had been wiped out, more than 5,000 were killed in battle, and the rest surrendered to the rebels in despair.

Such news will definitely be a huge blow to Zhang Xutuo.

"Where is this?" Zhang Xutuo turned his head to look around, but he didn't see it.

"This is Dong'e County in Jibei County, the hometown of our Luo Shuai's sworn brother, General Cheng Yanjin."

"The thieves have already appeared in Jibei?" Zhang Xutuo was surprised.

"Yes, I met Zhang Shuai who was chased and killed in Xingyang before, and we took you east after killing the pursuers, but the thieves kept chasing after us. During this time, the Wei thieves swept all the way and had already connected several counties, and now they have broken through Dongjun, Jiyin, and Dongping, and the forward scouts have all entered Jibei. ”

"How powerful are the thieves?"

Zhang Xutuo never expected that after his defeat in Xingyang Daihai Temple, he would actually make most of Henan fall into the hands of thieves.

"Send me to Lu County, Jibei, I'm going there to gather soldiers and horses."

"It's useless, now Henan is in chaos, all along the canal have been captured by thieves, and although Qi County, Jibei and other places have not yet been broken, but countless bandits and hungry people have taken the opportunity to rise, and now there is chaos everywhere, and even many officials, government soldiers, and county soldiers have joined them, even if you are in good health now, you are powerless to return to the sky, not to mention that your current body can't even ride a horse, how to talk about suppressing bandits."

Zhang Xutuo was silent.

From these words, he could already guess the fate of his old brother Jia Wuben and the others.

"You tell me the truth, the result of the battle of Daihai Temple, tell the truth."

Wang Junkuo, who was carrying a bow, looked at the old handsome, sighed, and finally told the situation truthfully.

"Why hasn't Luoyang, the eastern capital, sent troops? Just let Li Mi be so arrogant? Let him occupy Xingluocang, let him occupy the Tiger Prison? ”

"Because of the treacherous appearance, the emperor in the Luoyang Palace, now he doesn't even know about the great victory of Dai Bei Ma Yi, and he doesn't even know that Shi Bi was stabbed to death by our Luo Shuai, and he also thinks that Shi Bi returned to the Monan Khan Court with the Turkic cavalry."

"Luo Cheng killed Shibi?"

Zhang Xutuo was surprised, he had just learned such amazing news.

"Yes, in the Battle of Mayi, Luo Shuai led the border army of the four towns to confront the Shibi army in Mayi for more than a month, and finally defeated the Shibi 100,000 army in the Pinglu Valley near the partial head village, and then forced the surrender of 50,000 Turkic troops in the side pass village, Shibi was personally killed by my Luo Shuai, he took 300,000 horsemen to the south, and none of the prisoners who died and surrendered escaped the Great Wall."

"Well done." Zhang Xutuo was amazed by his protégé Luo Cheng.

It's just that he doesn't understand, why doesn't the emperor even know about this?

"Yu Shiji and the others have completely kept the emperor in the dark now, and now that they have cut off the news, the emperor doesn't know the outside situation at all. Just like Li Mi fought under Yanshi City before, the emperor didn't know Li Mi's true strength at all, and thought that he was just fighting a little as before, so he only let Zhang Shuai lead 10,000 tired Qinwang troops to fight, and after he was defeated, Luoyang didn't tell the emperor the truth. ”

"Just after the fifteenth day of the first month, Yu Shiji and other four traitorous ministers coaxed the emperor to leave Luoyang, led the Xiaoguo army and hundreds of officials to Guanzhong Daxing, I heard that the holy driver will not stay in Daxing for a long time, will soon go out of Wuguan, and then go to Xiangyang and then go down the Yangtze River, along the east of the river to patrol the south of the Yangtze River, and finally go to Jiangdu."

Zhang Xutuo didn't know what to say anymore.

"The saint is also the hero, why is he completely kept in the dark by the four traitors now?"

He didn't understand, these things were so unbelievable, but they were completely true.

That side is only more than 100 miles away from Luoyang, and Li Mi's rebels have already captured several key points in Xingluocang, Hujiaoguan, and Xingyang City. Not only did it seize the largest granary around Luoyang, but it even cut off the canal's transportation to Beijing. But the emperor didn't know all this, Yu Shiji and others were not thinking about how to recover the lost territory and crusade against the rebels at this time, but they were thinking about taking the emperor to escape from Luoyang to Jiangnan.

"Even if the east is unstable, you can retreat into Guanzhong, why go to Jiangdu?"

Wang Junkuo told the old marshal, "Because now the canal is cut off by the rebels, and when the former Qin Wang, there was a mutiny caused by the Longyou soldiers asking for rewards, and finally 10,000 people were killed." Now there is chaos on the right side of Longyou, especially many Qiang tribes, who have directly rebelled. So now the situation in Guanzhong is not good, firstly, the grain of Guandong cannot enter the customs, and secondly, Longyou and Qinghai are very chaotic, so Yu Shiji and others want to coax the emperor to patrol the south of the Yangtze River, in fact, they want to avoid going to the Jiangdu, compared to it, the situation over there is better, although there are some rebellions, but the rebellion in Jiangnan is not strong. ”

"Why is there no one in the court to persuade the emperor, and no one is there anyone to tell this truth?"

"It's useless, it's like Ma Yi's victory, Luo Shuai has also won several times, but this good news is all stuck in the four traitors. In addition, now that the emperor has returned from Hedong, he has stayed in the harem all day long, and he is no longer in the court, and his affairs are handed over to the four traitors. Except for the four traitors, ordinary officials could not see the emperor's face. ”

"There was an official before when the emperor went out hunting, desperately stopped in front of the imperial horse, but was dragged down by the treacherous minister, the emperor didn't even pay attention to him, and then the loyal official died suddenly in the prison of Dali Temple, since then, the hundred officials can not see the emperor, even if they do, it is estimated that no one wants to do the song of the horse again."

Zhang Xutuo was a little unable to digest these terrible news for a while.

"Zhang Shuai, the situation in Henan is no longer possible, we are now trying to find a way to take you to Donglai, and from there we will take a boat to Liaodong."

"Donglai has come to Hu'er to sit in the town, there is also one of the eight capital prefectures, there are 12,000 soldiers and horses, we don't need to go to Liaodong, we can stay and fight for thieves together."

"Zhang Shuai, the last time General Lai Hu'er led his troops to serve the queen, he has stayed in Donglai and has not returned, now Donglai is empty, I am worried that the rebels will fight all the way, and Donglai will be difficult to be stable."

"Until the last resort, you can't just give up Henan." Zhang Xutuo gritted his teeth and said.
