(2-in-1)

At dawn, the rebels in the Dongguan Mountain valley began to concentrate and evacuate towards the mouth of the northern valley. In order not to arouse the suspicion of **, the tents, materials, carriages and horses in the valley camp are not moved, so as not to attract the attention of ** because the movement is too large. Even the thousands of soldiers and horses stationed on the two southeastern hills to monitor the movements did not inform them, just to avoid arousing suspicion.

When approaching the mouth of the North Valley, in order to be cautious, An Qingxu sent a small group of soldiers and horses to go out of the valley mouth first to test. Soon after, they came with the news that there was really not a single cavalry soldier outside the valley mouth in the north. ** The 10,000 cavalry who had been besieged here had all been withdrawn last night.

An Qingxu was overjoyed and immediately ordered a quick evacuation. Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses rushed out of the valley from the mouth of the North Valley, and half an hour later, when the eastern dew dawned, An Qingxu's more than 30,000 soldiers and horses were already on the undulating mountains five miles away from the North Mountain of Dongguan Mountain.

An Qingxu's mood is not to mention how happy he is, looking at the quiet movement in the valley behind, it is obvious that this evacuation operation ** did not notice. Thinking that they were dying around an empty valley at the moment, An Qingxu couldn't stop feeling proud. In view of the fact that he was not out of danger at this moment, An Qingxu did not dare to stop for a while, and ordered the soldiers and horses to hurry north. This golden cicada's strategy of getting out of the shell will eventually be discovered, to ensure that you leave this place far away before being discovered, it is best to reach the bank of the Huai River in the north by starry night, so that you can cross the Huai River to the north and block the pursuit of the ** cavalry with the big river.

An hour later, when the morning sun was rising, the rebel brigade was already thirty miles away from Chuzhou City, and dozens of miles north was Zhaoyi County, which belonged to Shouzhou, and Shouzhou was located on the bank of Huaishui, and arrived at Zhaoyi County to show that it was not far from Shouzhou. An Qingxu had a wishful thinking in his heart, and today's sleepless march would also rush to the Huaishui at night, and then collect boats to cross the river. Thinking that he would be able to break away from the pursuit of the cavalry of the Shence Army and arrive at a safe place in Huaibei tonight, An Qingxu was very excited. Who would have thought that a few days ago, he was still trapped in a dead place, at the end of his rope. But now there is a bright future. can only say that he is blessed by heaven, and the national spirit of Dayan is not exhausted. After arriving at the land of Huaibei, he can capture a few cities, re-recruit soldiers and horses, expand his military reserves, and make a comeback. In short, everything will take on a new look.

In An Qingxu's agitated imagination, the army unknowingly arrived at a flat land. The terrain is flat, which is very different from the hilly terrain to the south. This is a good sign, as the change in the landscape heralds closer to the north. Both sides of the Huai River are plains, which means that from this moment on, they are getting closer and closer to the Huai River. Looking at the green plain field, An Qingxu was in a good mood, and suddenly he remembered a poem he didn't know where he heard it, so he read it casually.

"Leaving the grass on the plain, one year old and one withered. Wildfires burn inexhaustibly, and spring breezes blow and regenerate. Haha, aren't we just the wildfires that can't be burned and ushered in a new situation? ”

One of the accompanying ministers frowned and reminded him: "Your Majesty, this poem you sang is a poem written by that Wang Yuan. He is the enemy of our Great Yan Kingdom. ”

"Hahaha, this guy's poems are well written, I don't know when I read them, but I actually wrote them down, it's really weird. That's it, I don't read it. However, this Wang Yuan found out that our golden cicada was out of its shell today, and he didn't know what it would look like. Unfortunately, I couldn't see him angry. An Qingxu laughed.

The ministers who followed on the side all laughed.

"The most angry he vomited blood and died." There is humanity.

"He is angry and can't be humane, so he will let his whole family stay widowed with his wife and concubine." There is also a narrow-minded humanity.

The crowd burst into laughter again.

Just when the monarchs and ministers of the Great Yan Kingdom were looking up and laughing, ridiculing Wang Yuan to their heart's content. Suddenly, the rebel front army in front stopped its advance. An Qingxu scolded angrily and sent someone to question the former army general. Soon after, more than a dozen former army generals rushed in, with a look of panic on their faces.

"Your Majesty, it's not good."

"How?" An Qingxu was taken aback, he couldn't stand the fright now.

"A large group of cavalry in front blocked the way, yes...... It's the cavalry of the Shence Army. The rebel generals uttered the thunderbolt news in trembling voices.

"Your Majesty, there is a ** cavalry behind."

"Your Majesty, there are ** cavalry on the left flank."

"Your Majesty, there is ** cavalry on the right flank."

Before An Qingxu could react, the leading generals of the left and right armies who came out of breath arrived one after another, and reported the bad news one by one.

An Qingxu's mind was buzzing, and it went blank in an instant.

"The spirit-like still recites Wang Yuan's poems, and mocks that Wang Yuan behind his back. It's good now, it's really summoned people to summon spirits. This time, it's all over. A minister's low complaining words came into An Qingxu's ears, An Qingxu was dizzy, but he couldn't care about these words for a long time.

……

These cavalry were the 10,000 main cavalry led by Liu Jun. Two thousand Kunlun Nu heavy cavalry corps were in front, three thousand cavalry on the left and right sides were ambushed on the flanks, and in the rear were two thousand elite cavalry led by Liu Jun himself.

Everything last night was a ploy designed by Liu Jun, and last night when Liu Jun learned that two An Qingxu's personal attendants had fled to the army, Liu Jun immediately interrogated the two. Under Liu Jun's coercion and temptation, the two chamberlains had to act according to Liu Jun's script. The words they said to An Qingxu were all made up stories, and they were all designed lines, which were carefully designed to trick An Qingxu into believing it, so as to frame Yan Zhuang and lure An Qingxu to escape from the North Valley.

I have to say that Ye Dezhang and Yang Dehao are two good actors, and once they entered the play, they almost believed what they said. It is said that these eunuchs have a special ability, although they have something less than normal people, but they have given them other abilities. In particular, the personal attendants who served by the emperor's side have developed the special ability of slapping horses and squirting and lying and talking. This is actually very easy to understand, their companions are like tigers, they have to worry about their lives all the time, and they have to practice a set of lying without blushing, and talking like facts in order to survive, and although Ye Dezhang and Yang Dehao are unknown in history, they are undoubtedly the best among them.

The two good actors also used all their strengths in order to survive, and the whole process can be called flawless, even if there are some small flaws, but with An Qingxu's IQ, it is impossible to find it at all. For example, why did Liu Jun leave them to serve him defenselessly, and why did Yan Zhuang only offer the condition of being able to escape safely in exchange for making a deal with **, but did not directly ask for Cheng Cheng ** in exchange for high-ranking officials. These are all flaws, but An Qingxu has no doubts at all. He couldn't have imagined such depth and detail. Speaking of which, some details are actually not perfectly designed by Liu Jun, but these two good actors play freely, making the whole plan much smoother and more reasonable.

An Qingxu's sneaking out of the North Valley with his army was all under Liu Jun's control, and as soon as the rebels moved, Liu Jun's cavalry arrived thirty miles away and waited for them. The reason why he chose to wait for An Qingxu thirty miles away was not a special arrangement, just because the terrain here was flat and conducive to cavalry charges. In view of the constraints of minimizing casualties, Liu Jun could not fight in the hills and mountains near the left of Chuzhou, which was not conducive to the cavalry's play, nothing more.

Liu Jun was not afraid that An Qingxu would not go to the ambush site, because he led two thousand cavalry to follow the rebels far away, and once they changed direction, he would lead the cavalry to appear and drive them to the ambush site. Fortunately, An Qingxu's rebels barely let Liu Jun spend a little more strength and brains, and went straight to the north and directly entered this ambush place.

"Give the order, attack."

Riding on a snow-white high-headed horse, Liu Jun, who was dressed in silver armor, raised the spear in his hand and ordered in a deep voice.

"Bang bang bang." Three red fireworks rose into the sky, and under the blue sky and white clouds, they were very brilliant and colorful. At the same time, the cavalry formations of the Shence Army in the east, west, and north also fired fireworks in response, which was the signal to attack at the same time.

Two thousand Kunlun Nu heavy armored cavalry rushed from the front like a sea tide, and the tall and big-skinned, black-skinned Kunlun Nu with a fierce face gave people a great visual impact, not to mention that they were heavy cavalry wearing heavy armor and holding heavy blades.

The rebel soldiers and horses, who were already demoralized, could not withstand such a ferocious impact, and as soon as the Kunlun Nu heavy armor soldiers rushed into the front line of the rebels, it was a one-sided trampling and massacre. No matter how many rebels there are, how can they resist this torrent of steel.

With the three elite cavalry from the east, west and south charging from the rear and both flanks, the more than 30,000 rebels were almost crushed at the touch of a button, and there was no resistance at all. After suffering repeated blows, the rebel soldiers and horses, who had been terrified all day long, still had the heart to resist the fierce cavalry charge. originally thought that he had escaped from life, but now he is back in the dead place, and this psychological gap has made everyone have no fighting spirit.

The battle went on so fast that shortly after the wolf-like cavalry rushed into the enemy line, and without even encountering any decent resistance, the rebel soldiers abandoned their blades and began to scatter and flee all over the mountains. In an instant, it became a one-sided slaughter and hunt.

How could the footsteps of the infantry outrun the cavalry, they were constantly being chased by the cavalry, the Mo knife shone in the sunlight with a dazzling white light, and every time the slash was made, the rebel soldiers were cut in two. Many rebel soldiers lay on the ground with their hands raised and begged for mercy, which was the most effective way to save their lives, because any rebel soldier standing or running would not escape the fate of being hunted down.

An Qingxu stood in the middle of the rebels in a daze, he was so shocked by the situation in front of him that he was speechless. His mind was buzzing and blank. He didn't know what he was going to do at the moment. How did you suddenly fall headlong into the encirclement of the rebels?

"Your Majesty, run away, if you don't escape, it's all over." An old minister shouted tremblingly.

"Yes, yes, yes, someone, escort. Escort me out of here. An Qingxu shouted.

"Come on, protect Your Majesty and evacuate. General Qian, get off your horse and give your horse to your majesty to ride. Oops! General Qian, what do you do? You bastard. One of the ministers shouted.

Qian Kun, the general of the forbidden army who was in charge of protecting An Qingxu, rode away without looking back, ignoring the minister's shouts. At this time, horses are fate, and the whole army is only a few hundred horses, and if they are given to Your Majesty, then will they have to die?

"Rebel minister, rebel minister, Qian Kun, I want to punish your whole clan. You disloyal and unrighteous rebel. An Qingxu beat his chest and scolded.

"Your Majesty, get on the horse, don't worry about Qian Kun at this time, the minister will escort you away." Liu Qian, the commander of the Thousand Guards of the Forbidden Army, shouted from the side. He had some horses to be brought to his side.

"Okay, okay, Liu Qian, it's still your loyalty. After I got out of trouble, I promoted you to the general of the forbidden army and made you a marquis. An Qingxu said.

"Your Majesty, don't worry about the future, get on your horse and leave, the enemy has already rushed over." Liu Qian urged repeatedly.

"Good, good." An Qingxu hurriedly got on the horse, and did not forget to turn back to find Ye Dezhang and Yang Dehao said: "How is Dezhangde?" Where did they go? ”

Ye Dezhang and Yang Dehao have long disappeared, and as soon as the war began, the two secretly disappeared.

"Leave them alone. Come on. Brothers, escort Your Majesty to the northeast. Liu Qian shouted, and whipped An Qingxu's buttocks. An Qingxu's horse flew out, An Qingxu almost fell off the horse, and hurriedly crouched on the horse's back and grabbed the horse's mane tightly with both hands.

Behind him, five or six hundred guards on horseback followed An Qingxu and Liu Qian and galloped away in the northeast direction.

Liu Jun rushed to kill the rebels with a silver spear, and a silver spear flew up and down to kill countless enemies. In front of him, two figures, one tall and one short, were squatting in the grass, and Liu Jun rose up to kill and stabbed with a spear.

"Spare your life, General Liu, it's us, it's us. Hey, I can see General Liu. ”

Liu Jun looked fixedly, and it turned out that it was Ye Dezhang and Yang Dehao who were squatting on the ground. Liu Jun laughed and said, "It turned out to be the two of you." ”

"General. The two of us have made meritorious contributions, we can do things exactly according to the general's orders, and look at the situation now, everything is as the general wishes. Ye Dezhang hurriedly came to Liu Jun's horse head and shouted.

"Hahaha, yes, well done, I'll reward you again. What about An Qingxu? Where is he? Why did you leave him and run away? Liu Jun said with a smile.

"My General Liu, seeing the ambush, doesn't Your Majesty understand that we have deceived him? Aren't we looking for death if we stay with him? So the two of us slipped away. They're right there in the grove, No, that's it. Ye Dezhang pointed into the distance.

Liu Jun nodded and said, "Okay, let's kill the past and capture An Qingxu alive." Come, give them two horses to ride. Ye Dezhang, we don't know An Qingxu, you two will identify it for me to prevent him from slipping away in disguise and taking advantage of the chaos. ”

"Yes, do as you are told." Ye Dezhang and Yang Dehao agreed repeatedly. Someone brought two horses to the two, and the two turned over and followed Liu Jun, who led hundreds of personal guards and cavalry all the way to the distant grove.

When he was halfway through the rush, Ye Dezhang pointed to the front and shouted, "General Liu, they ran away." Take a look. The one in yellow is An Qingxu. They're going to run. ”

Liu Jun saw it really and shouted: "Chase." Hundreds of cavalry galloped down from the flanks where the rebels had gathered.

An Qingxu rode on a horse and fled with his head buried in his head, and in a panic, he did not forget to look back, and found that there were enemy troops chasing after him, so he lay on the back of the horse and cried with a sad face: "Why did they chase it, how did they find out?" ”

"Your Majesty, what are you still wearing a dragon robe at this time? Doesn't that give them a goal? Liu Qian sighed.

"Yes, yes, you said yes. I got rid of this Raush. An Qingxu ignored the bumps, took off his yellow robe three times and two times, and threw the group bar on the grass. The cavalry behind galloped past, their horseshoe trampling the yellow robe into the muddy water.

The pursuers in the rear were getting closer and closer, and An Qingxu asked again with a sad face: "Why are they still chasing after them." ”

Liu Qian said: "Presumably, it was the golden crown on His Majesty's head that attracted their attention. Or Your Majesty will throw away the golden crown as well. ”

"Good, good." An Qingxu didn't think about it, reached out and tore off the purple gold crown on his head and threw it on the ground, this pull, his long hair fluttered down, and he was blown wildly by the wind, and the whole person was like a madman.

However, all this still failed to make the ** cavalry behind retreat, they still chased after them on flying horses, and they had reached a hundred paces behind them.

"Your Majesty, fight the horse, hurry up, you are too slow. Everyone who is dragging down can't run fast. Liu Qian shouted anxiously.

"I don't want to, I haven't practiced horseback riding much. I knew that today, I used to practice horseback riding. An Qingxu said with a sad face.

Liu Qian sighed, speechless. He knew that he couldn't escape today, and with An Qingxu's burden, he couldn't escape the pursuit of the enemy no matter what.

"Your Majesty, it seems that you can only fight hard, and the minister can only serve Your Majesty with death. There's no escape. Liu Qian shouted.

"What, do you want to fight? Have you ever beaten it? An Qingxu shouted in a trembling voice.

Liu Qian didn't answer, slammed the reins of the horse, and the war horse stood up with a long roar in the sky, turned a few times and stopped. Hundreds of janissaries also stood still. Liu Qian said in a loud voice: "Brothers, we can't get out today, let's fight to the death." Left and right is a death, killing one counts as one. Your Majesty, if you don't want to be captured, the minister can give you a ride at the risk of a big taboo, so as not to teach Your Majesty to be humiliated by the Tang people. ”

An Qingxu's face turned pale, and he saw Liu Qian's hand touching the hilt of the sword,
