On the battlefield in the east of Baqiao, the two armies of Zhou and Sui fought fiercely for a morning, and there was still no clue of victory or defeat when it was close to noon, and Yang Guang, the king of Jin, overlooked the battlefield in the middle of the army, and his heart was full of anxiety. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It has been a few days since the attack on Guangtongcang, and even if he tried his best to cover it up, he couldn't stop the news from spreading throughout the barracks, and the supply of food and grass in the army had begun to be tight, and only by fighting hard could he have a chance to survive.

Attacking Chang'an before the grain is cut off, there is Taicang's grain on top, and then mobilizing the grain storage support of neighboring states and counties, this is the only way to save the emergency, of course, there is another way is to withdraw the army, but Yang Guang is not reconciled.

The army is under the city of Chang'an, this is the last chance, once the Zhou army is allowed to gain a foothold in Chang'an, the situation will deteriorate.

The hub between Shudi, Longyou, Hedong, and Luozhou is Guanzhong, without this hub, these places will basically fall into a situation of fighting for themselves, and they are easy to be broken by the Zhou army one by one.

Not to mention that before that, people's hearts were scattered.

failed to recover Chang'an, Yang Guang knew that even if he succeeded to the throne as emperor, it would be difficult to convince the public, and he couldn't take Chang'an with so many soldiers, and no one would believe that he could hold up the Sui State.

So even if Yu Qing persuaded him to withdraw his troops today, Yang Guang stubbornly insisted on attacking for another day, he felt that he might be able to break through Baqiao today, reach the eastern suburbs of Chang'an, and then take Chang'an before the food ran out.

Now it seems that it was just a dream.

"Your Highness, the matter has come to this, and the troops must be withdrawn."

"Peng Chenggong, can you use a trick to defeat?"

Yang Guang was lucky, but Yu Qing didn't give him any hope: "The lower officials are afraid that the fraud will become a real defeat, and the generals of the various departments have ghosts in their hearts, maybe they will do a fake show,"

"The Dugu Governor is near Tongzhou with the Yanzhou army, and the Zhou army who wants to attack Guangtongcang can't hide for long, and the back road is safe, so the officials sent by Dugu to collect grain will definitely be able to transport the grain from Hedong, can't they really wait a few more days?"

"Your Highness, the pros and cons have been analyzed very clearly in the previous meeting, a drop in the bucket will not help, the unstable morale of the army is easy to be taken advantage of by the enemy, and if you don't leave, you won't be able to leave."

Yu Qing can understand Yang Guang's mood, but when the army marches and fights, he has to adapt to the situation, the pit viper stings the strong man and breaks his wrist, if he is reluctant to do it, then the whole person will be finished, not to mention that he thinks that the Sui State still has a chance.

Now the situation is definitely unfavorable to the Sui State, but as long as there are soldiers in hand and territory, then as long as you win a few battles to stabilize your position, and wait for a few years for Zhou Guoyu Wen and Wei Chi to fight among themselves, then the opportunity for a resurgence will come.

Will these two fight? Definitely.

Since the Wei and Jin dynasties, it has been impossible for the ministers and the emperor to coexist harmoniously, and sooner or later the two sides will have to fight the winner, Yang Jian, who is an auxiliary government, is called the emperor by Zen, and even if the old man who is also an auxiliary minister will not receive Zen, his son will inevitably be.

Cranes and mussels compete for the benefit of fishermen, although the hope is very slim, but it is also an opportunity for Yu Qingze, so no matter what, to preserve the strength, if there are no soldiers in hand, then you are not qualified to compete in the world.

Seeing that Yang Guang seemed to be moved, Yu Qing continued to suggest that the main force of the official army should retreat from Huazhou, where it would be backed by Pujin and Luozhou, so that he could get grain and grass support from Hedong, and second, he could join hands with Yang Jun, the king of Qin, to tide over the difficulties.

The advance can be attacked, the retreat can be defended, and the state army must not withdraw from Guanzhong, and the Jingzhou army, the Fengzhou army, and the Yuanzhou army can only retreat appropriately, eat in the nearby states and counties, and wait until this period is slowed down and then Xu Tuzhi.

And although the Zhou army in Chang'an had Taicang, it could not withstand consumption.

It is now spring, it is said that spring ploughing should be carried out, but because of the delay of the war, spring ploughing and sowing cannot be done in time, and Chang'an and its surrounding areas have failed to harvest or even failed to harvest this year.

The Zhou army relied on the thin Wuguan Road to transport grain and grass, but in fact, it was far from being able to quench the thirst of the near.

More than 200 years ago, the Eastern Jin Dynasty Huanwen Northern Expedition to Qin, took the Wuguan Road into Guanzhong, and the soldiers came outside the city of Chang'an, but the Qin army did not come out of Chang'an, and also harvested all the wheat around the wall, and the Jin army with more than 40,000 troops could only retreat to Shannan because the military rations could not be helped.

Yu Qing suggested using the word "drag" to confront the Zhou army in Guanzhong, and consumed the other party's food to the point that it could not be supported, such a strategy was very helpless, but it was already the most effective measure that could be taken at present.

There is Taicang in Chang'an City, of course there is no problem just to supply the Zhou army, but tens of thousands of people also have to eat, if the other party dares not to open a warehouse to receive help, then it will inevitably lose the hearts of the people, if it is help, it will not last for a few months.

Relying on Wuguan Road to transport grain and grass from Shannan, not to mention the loss of labor and money, the quantity is also limited, as long as the Sui State resists the Luozhou and Hedong lines, the Zhou army in Guanzhong will not be able to consume sooner or later.

Even if Yu Wenliang mobilized more troops from Shannan to come for reinforcements, it was useless, because Guanzhong did not have so much food supply, and it would not be long before he came, while the Sui army's food and grass supply was relatively simple.

"Peng Chenggong understands what he said, it's just... Alas. ”

"Your Highness, please cheer up, in the past, the Western Wei Dynasty relied on the land of Guanzhong to confront the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and there was a huge difference in strength, but he still had the last laugh, relying on perseverance, he made fewer mistakes, but the other party kept making mistakes."

This strategy, Yu Qing has already discussed with the three chiefs of Jing, Feng and Yuan, and originally wanted to withdraw the siege today, but Yang Guang, the king of Jin, hoped to "attack one more day", and now it seems that there is really no hope of taking Chang'an.

"Your Highness, the matter has come to this point, please order Mingjin, if you continue to fight, it will only increase casualties, and it will not help."

"Good..."

Before he finished speaking, a herald ran over, and he was about to report immediately, but when he saw the silence of all the generals at the scene, Yu Qing beckoned him to whisper when he approached, and his face changed as he listened.

Although he pretended to be calm, cold sweat still broke out involuntarily, and when the herald retreated, Yu Qing immediately said to Yang Guang: "Your Highness, without further ado, please immediately order Mingjin to withdraw the troops!" ”

"Huh? Good..."

Although Yang Guang didn't know what was going on, he also felt that something big must have happened in his heart, and he had just ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops, but he heard the noise on the other side of the battlefield.

The horn is like a tide, and countless flags appear in the large array of the Zhou army, which should be the reinforcements sent from the direction of Chang'an.

"Could it be that Yu Wenliang came to supervise the formation?" Yang Guang muttered to himself, and then his face was happy: "Does he want to fight the winner?" Just in time, Pengcheng..."

"Your Highness, withdraw your troops immediately!"

Yu Qing didn't care about the number of courtesies, grabbed Yang Guang to leave, and saw that the other party's stubborn temper came up, he didn't care about it so much, and said: "Dugu Kai is the opposite!" Occupy Zhiwu Township, Tongzhou Prefecture, Pujin is controlled by it, and it will be too late if you don't leave! ”

When the surrounding generals heard this, their faces changed, and Dugu Kai, the governor of Yanzhou, who led the army south to reinforce, actually rebelled and occupied Wuxiang and Pujin, which meant that the back road of the army was cut off!

"Huh? Yang Guangyan couldn't believe it when he heard this, and before he could finish his "how how", the Zhou army on the opposite side broke out with a tidal shout: "Tongzhou is falling, the back road is broken, and the front is defecting, just today!" ”

The shouting shook the sky, very neat, tens of thousands of people shouted in unison, it seemed that they had been prepared, and the soldiers of the Sui army listened to it in their ears, and gradually began to hesitate.

A moment later, the right flank of the Sui army's large array suddenly stirred, as if someone was killing each other, and a moment later an adjutant general stumbled and ran to report, saying that some generals had defected in front of the formation and voted for the Zhou army.

The commotion continued, not only the right wing, but even the left wing began to stir, Yu Qing didn't care so much, pulled Yang Guang and ran back, looking back at the cheering Zhou Jun, he was full of grief and indignation in his heart.

Why is this happening!

The Zhou army that burned the Guangtong warehouse, like a python in the mountains, saw the gap out of the Qinling Mountains and pounced on the prey, biting the Sui army's waist and eye fiercely, thinking that it was just a blow, but there was a second blow.

What did they say about Dugu Kai's rebellion? How is this possible?

The granary was burned and can be recovered, but the back road is broken, and the general trend is gone! (To be continued.) )
