Huaishui, a pontoon bridge on the river is burning, the pontoon bridge is connected by a wooden boat side by side, the wooden board can be opened to traffic, it is the passage between the two banks of the Huaishui, but it has been burned at this time.

The wooden boats that make up the pontoon bridge are scattered, some carrying fires, others unharmed, drifting downstream along the river.

The north end of the pontoon bridge, the north bank of Huaishui. The Bozhou army, which failed to seize the bridge, began to collect boats and prepare to force the Huaishui to reach the south bank, there were dozens of soldiers on the south bank, and it was they who burned the pontoon bridge before the Bozhou army crossed the river, but now they want to resist the enemy army who are preparing to force the crossing, the number is not enough, and it is somewhat difficult.

A few miles away on the south bank, in the direction of Qisi City, there are many people rushing towards the river, this is the soldiers and horses stationed in Qisi, always guarding against the enemy from the north.

Qisi is located in the border of Huju Border City, but the location is in the northeast of Gwangju, which happens to become the northeast gateway of Gwangju.

The garrison of Qisi soon rushed to the edge of the Huaishui River, and shouted and cursed the Bozhou army across the river from the other bank, and the Bozhou army did not give up the hope of crossing the river, not only the collected boats were connected into boats, but also divided the troops along the river, as if to find a shallow place to wade across the river.

The Huangzhou army also spread along the riverbank, and the opponent is facing each other, it is spring, it has rained not long ago, the water level of Huaishui has risen slightly, the enemy wants to wade across the river is not easy, but the officers and men of the Huangzhou army do not dare to take it lightly,

After all, Qisi City is a little far away from the riverbank, if the city is by the river, where do they have to work so hard, but Qisi City can't be too close to Huaishui, because this section of the river occasionally has a lot of water.

It is said that during the Warring States Period, the famous minister of Chu State, Uncle Sun Ao, was in the period to think about the water, which greatly reduced the flood, in order to commemorate the uncle Sun Ao who governed the Huaishui flood, there is a temple of Sun Shu Ao in the northwest corner of the city.

In the northwest corner of the city outside the city and on a high ground on the south bank of the Huaishui, there is another temple built by the people, and the people often go to this small temple to worship and pray that Uncle Sun Ao will bless them and not let the land on both sides of the Huaishui be flooded.

At this moment, Jiang Hui hid in the temple of Sun Shu Ao on the south bank of Huaishui, carefully showing his head, observing the movements of the Huangzhou army on the south bank, there were more than ten men behind him, all holding bows and arrows, long knives, and there were a few dead soldiers lying in front of the temple.

This is the sentinel set up here by the defenders of the expectation, with feathered arrows stuck in their bodies, and all of them have lost their breath.

Jiang saw that the soldiers and horses of the Huangzhou army were all on the bank of Huaishui, and there were no soldiers near the temple of Sun Shu Ao where he was, so he retracted his body, turned to the other side of the temple, and motioned to his entourage to cut down a small tree with an axe.

The small tree fell, which meant that there was nothing to do near Sun Shu'ao Temple, and at the same time, the cavalry of the Bozhou Army lurking on the opposite bank of the upper reaches of the small temple began to cross the river.

More than 200 cavalrymen, leading horses to board the bamboo raft that had been temporarily tied, shook the long one, approached the south bank, according to the speed of the river, they arrived at the location of the south bank, which happened to be near the mound where the temple of Sun Shu Ao was located.

Looking at Jiang Hui who crossed the river with the Bozhou army, and then at the Huangzhou army who didn't know about it, he couldn't help but be very happy: I will let you wait for the dog's head for a while, and pay tribute to the spirit of my Jiang clan in the sky!

In the pre-Qin period, there was a Jiang State, and after the Chu State destroyed Jiang, a period of Siyi was set up in the hometown of the Jiang State, and the descendants of the Jiang State who fled met to take Jiang as their surname, so the period of thought is the origin of the surname Jiang.

Thousands of years later, there are a large number of descendants of the Jiang family living in the Qisi area, some of whom are noble and some are low, and Jiang Hui belongs to which of the former: his clan lives in Wubao.

After hundreds of years of dynasties, Jiang Hui's ancestors lived a stable life in the dock fort, and Jiang Hui felt that he and his brothers, as well as his children and grandchildren, would be safe in the future, but the evil spirit came.

Qi and Chen fought for the two Huai, Zhou and Chen fought for the two Huai, and now it was the turn of the Zhou Guoyu Wen clan and the Wei Chi clan to crusade against each other, which also had nothing to do with them.

As a result, the Wei Chi clan suffered defeats, and the Yuwen clan gained a firm foothold in Yuzhou, and then there was a 'sunset king' sitting in Gwangju, sending envoys to ask the Wubao to send protons, pay money and grain, and also send people to help the officials and troops 'rebel'.

The conditions seemed to be fine, and Jiang Hui's father, as the suzerain (Wubao master), had planned to be perfunctory, but found that it could not be perfunctory: the so-called official army not only required them to pay a lot of money and food, but also required many middle-aged men to join the army.

Jiang Hui's father didn't intend to agree to this condition, so he contacted several sect masters (Wubao masters) who were related by marriage, and everyone decided to refuse, because Qi Si was at the junction of the sphere of influence of the Yuchi clan and the Yuwen clan, and everyone thought that this Sunset King would not dare to deceive people too much.

As a result, the other party actually went against the grain and sent troops to slaughter several dock forts!

At the time of the incident, Jiang Hui was dealing with affairs in the city of Zhansi, and when he heard the bad news, he was overwhelmed with grief and indignation, and wanted to take his entourage to fight hard, but the disparity in strength was too great, so he escaped Huaishui and entered the territory of the Bozhou Governor's Mansion to find officials and soldiers to crusade against the rebels and avenge the clansmen.

The official army, of course, is the army of the Wei Chi clan, and the traitor is the army of the Yuwen clan.

Jiang Hui thought that the day of revenge was far away, but he did not expect the official army to make a move soon, and asked him if he would like to be a guide.

Of course, Jiang Hui was willing, and he also introduced the terrain around Qisi to the generals of the official army in detail several times, and this time he volunteered to cross the river as his eyes and ears, taking a huge risk to kill the rebel sentries of Sun Shu's Ao Temple, and guiding the official cavalry to cross the river.

The shouting sounded out, pulling Jiang Hui back to reality from his reverie, and he fixed his eyes on it, only to see the official cavalry who had successfully crossed the river rushing straight to Qisi City, and the Huangzhou army by the river saw this situation and ran back in a hurry.

Seeing that there was no one on the south bank, the Bozhou army on the north bank took the opportunity to cross the river by boat, and the cavalry who had already crossed the river galloped towards the city gate, wanting to take advantage of the emptiness in the city to seize the city, even if they could not take the city, they could also cut off the back road of the enemy army out of the city.

With more than 200 horsemen, they can deal with hundreds or even thousands of scattered formations of infantry-based enemies in the wilderness, and even if they cannot be defeated, they can force the opponent to form a formation to protect themselves, and wait for their main force to cross the river and then join the encirclement.

The gate of the city seemed to be closed, and the Bozhou cavalry who tried to enter the city turned their horses' heads to intercept the Huangzhou army running back, forcing the other party to form a formation in the field, and the main force of the Bozhou army had crossed the river and boarded the south bank and surrounded the Huangzhou army in formation.

Jiang Hui led his entourage to run down the temple of his uncle and grandson, and ran towards the official army, he was very excited, and wanted to see the scene of the annihilation of the Huangzhou army with his own eyes, and the general of the official army said that there were not too many prisoners left in this battle, so he would get many heads to pay tribute to his father, brother and clansmen.

Running and running, the situation changed abruptly, and the direction of Qisi City was dusty, and it seemed that there were many cavalry rushing towards this side, a distance of several miles, and the cavalry could quickly rush there, and the number of the other party should be quite a lot.

The Huangzhou army, which was originally surrounded and cornered, suddenly shouted, approaching the Bozhou army foot soldiers who crossed the river, and the more than 200 Bozhou cavalry rushed towards the enemy cavalry, the two armies collided, and the Bozhou cavalry disappeared in the smoke and dust.

A big victory turned into a big defeat, Jiang Hui was shocked, looked at the river, and then looked at the uncle and grandson temple on the mound, estimated the distance, and decided to run to the river.

He could swim and swim through the Huai Shui even if the water was cold, so he didn't need a boat, just jump into the river before the enemy cavalry rushed, and when Chiang would jump into the river and swim to the center of the river, the battle on the south bank was already clear.

Among the officers and men of the Bozhou army who crossed the Huaishui, those who were not killed had already laid down their arms and surrendered, and some of the soldiers who rushed to the boat to cross the river were partly shot down by the enemy archers, and some rowed to the north bank.

Many small boats suddenly appeared in the upper reaches of the Huai River, most of the men on the boat were dressed in cloth clothes, many of them were holding spears, bows and arrows, iron forks, and fishing nets, looking murderous, and they swam hard in the water to Jiang Hui on the north shore, and suddenly found that there were acquaintances on one of the boats, and the other party also saw him.

Jiang Song, who is about the same age as Jiang Hui, is his distant uncle according to his generation, because he is a distant side branch and a concubine, so Jiang Song's status in the family is very low, and even a servant with a little status in the main family can send this person at will.

Not long ago, Jiang Song became the internal response of the traitor, and together with some other clansmen, he lured the wolf into the house, betrayed the master's house, and became the new suzerain of Wubao.

The enemy was very red when he saw him, Jiang Hui could only flee for his life in the water, but Jiang Song on the boat had to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, seeing that the guy who used to ride on his head and and pee was in front of him, where would Jiang Song let the other party go.

He is a side branch and a concubine, and even his own brother bullied him, not to mention the son-in-law of the high-ranking master, but now that he is running, it is time for revenge.

That year, Jiang Song just accidentally broke one of Jiang Hui's paperweights, and the other party actually asked Jiang Song to drink urine.

Jiang Song remembered the unbearable past, gritted his teeth and raised an iron fork, aimed at Jiang Hui who dived into the water in front of him, he had forked fish in the river, and knew that the aiming position was lower than it looked, so just a fork, and he forked Jiang Hui who was diving in the water.

Blood stained the water red, Jiang Hui forked up, the corners of his mouth were bleeding, and after a few breaths to breathe, Jiang Song spat on his face, and then smiled: "Jiang Hui, you also have today!" ”

On the south bank, Yang Su, who was riding on a horse, watched Jiang Song lead people to clean up the mess by boat, the other party's betrayal of the family was actually despicable, but Jiang Song was bullied too much in the clan on weekdays, and Yang Su could understand that he would lead outsiders to take revenge.

What's more, if you want people to do things with all their hearts, where can you do it without giving some benefits, the soldiers who were deliberately sent to death at the Shusun Ao Temple by the Huaishui River, Yang Su advanced a generous pension in advance.

Yang Su knew that although Jiang Song's betrayal of the clan was filthy, he had the righteous name of supporting the imperial court, so the government wanted to make him the new suzerain.

Even if this matter goes to the Son of Heaven in the future, what will the Son of Heaven, who used to call on the powerful and diligent kings in various places but was given a cold reception, decide what to do, so there is still a need to think about it?

Jiang Song's matter was deliberately spread by Yang Su, and the sect masters of the large and small clans everywhere were afraid that they would not be able to sleep, and those who had a low status in the clan, which one did not want to become the second Jiang Song, and which one would not be ready to move.

This is exactly the effect Yang Su wants.

Although he followed the King of Xiyang to Huainan, Yang Su did not think that he would have no chance to make contributions, but gold would always shine, no matter where he went.

The cavalry approached and reported the battlefield situation to Yang Su, and they spoke with a Hongnong accent, which was completely different from other Yuzhou troops organized and commanded by Yang Su.

Hongnong Yang's family, who had already served the Chang'an court, learned that Yang Su was in the Hanging Gourd and the siege of the Hanging Gourd had been lifted, so he specially sent hundreds of elite tribes to Yuzhou to listen to Yang Su's dispatch.

It happened that Yang Su was sitting in Gwangju with the king of Xiyang, and the king of Xiyang was preparing to 'cause trouble' everywhere, and these parts came in handy.

Yang Su looked at the north bank of the Huai River, and then looked at the soldiers of the Bozhou Army who had gone ashore in a hurry and fled in embarrassment, and couldn't help but smile, today's battle was just the beginning, and he would not be stupid to hold on to the future.

Since the king of Xiyang, who was ordered to sit in Gwangju, took the initiative to attack, then he, who was ordered to guard the period, also had to take the initiative to create more opportunities.

。。。。。。

Huozhou Prefecture governs Yue'an, the flag fluttering at the head of the city has changed its style, a large number of troops are entering the city, Yuwen Wen led people into the heavily guarded state office, and more than a dozen soldiers in the state office are moving their bodies out.

The deceased were all loyal servants of the previous assassin and went with Lord Lang.

And the meritorious people who have contributed to the city are holding the head of the assassin history in the lobby to welcome the arrival of the king of Xiyang.

"You can be right in time, abandon the darkness and turn to the light, the widow is deeply grateful, and I think that after the Son of Heaven sees the concert, he will also be happy."

"Thank you for the king's meritorious service, I am really grateful that a certain criminal can win the king's trust..."

"There is no need to be polite, now that the court is employing people, everyone must continue to make meritorious contributions and assist Wang Shi to pacify the traitors,"

Yu Wenwen's opening remarks reassured everyone, and the other party made a promise that they would make their names reach the heavens, so it would not be in vain for everyone to take the risk of making the city dedicated.

To do the inner should be dedicated to the city, it sounds good for the sake of righteousness, and it is for personal interests to say it directly, but there is nothing to blame for this, Yu Wenwen does not mean to look down on these people.

But except for one person.

This person is an assassin Shi adjutant, and he has an affair with his concubine, and when he learned that the enemy soldiers were approaching the city, he simply betrayed the master for glory, such a despicable act, even if he had a righteous name as a pretense, Yu Wenwen was extremely disgusted with it.

Personally, as a man with a concubine, Yuwen Wen automatically brought into the perspective of the bitter master.

But even so, the benefits that should be given to the other party have to be given, and the other benefits will be cashed out later, and the concubine will naturally be brought home by this person first, not Yuwenwen praising the old king next door, but because if you want to become a big thing, you have to learn to surrender and rebel.

Most people are laymen, what they like is nothing more than wealth, sex, and fame and fortune, and if the water is clear, there is no fish, if Yu Wenwen wants to be a saint, he can't tolerate his subordinates to have the slightest moral flaw, who will defect to him in the end?

"Anyway" the heroes retired, Yuwen Wen summoned the generals to discuss the matter, and the Yin Shishi on the side took advantage of this gap and asked with some worry: "King, Yue'an is only one hundred and forty or fifty miles away from Ruyin in Hezhou, and Chen Jun is bound to win Ruyin, and the lower officials are worried about ....."

"Worried about what? General Shi's headquarters is stationed in Lujiang, which is only one hundred and sixty miles away from Ruyin! ”

"It's not a matter of troops, the lower officials are worried that if the king takes Ruyin, it will lead to the breakdown of the alliance between the two countries, and when the time comes..."

"It doesn't matter, the widow really wants to take down Ruyin, everyone can sit down and talk calmly, and finally reach a consensus."

The Yin Shi Shi only said that Yu Wen Wen had a strange idea, and he should have sat in Gwangju and watched the changes in Huainan, but as a result, he sent troops to eradicate the Haoqiang Wu Fort in various places, and the Yin Shi Shi thought that he would toss for a long time, but the other party had new ideas.

Yuwen Wen led the troops to Yue'an, Huozhou, more than 300 miles east of Gwangju, and it seemed that he wanted to capture Ruyin, a key place in Huainan.

Yin Shishi didn't know if what the other party just said was a joke or the truth, but he knew that things couldn't be so simple, so he tried his best to remind: "King, once our army takes Ruyin first, how can Chen Guo give up, and how can he reach a consensus?" ”

Yuwen Wen smiled when he heard this: "It's okay, we can force a consensus with Chen Guo!" ”
