Xingyang.

The fierce attack has not been able to break through the Tiger Prison Pass for a long time, but the officers and troops from all walks of life have gradually surrounded it.

Yang Xuangan, the emperor of Chu, held a pre-imperial meeting in the camp under the Tiger Prison.

In addition to his marshal Li Zixiong, there was also Li Mi, the left servant who had just returned from Hebei. In order to appease Li Mi, as soon as Yang Xuangan saw Li Mi, he crowned him as a lieutenant and a scholar.

"Let's discuss it with all the secretaries."

Yang Xuangan was wearing armor, because he ascended the throne in a hurry, the emperor not only did not have the capital nor the palace, and the jade seal and the emperor's crown naturally did not come to prepare, and these things were not casually made, so Yang Xuangan, the emperor, has not even worn a dragon robe for a day.

The first to speak was Li Zixiong.

Although he led the army to attack Xingyang Pass and was repeatedly defeated, Yang Xuangan still trusted him very much, and probably there was no one available except him.

"Your Majesty, now that the reinforcements of the Tiger Prison Pass are coming, our army has been defeated, and we can't stay under this fortified city for a long time, it is better to go straight to the Guanzhong, open the granary to revitalize the poor, and the three assistants can be directed. According to the treasury, the east is fighting for the world, and it is also the business of the overlord. ”

At this time, even Li Zixiong, the coach, didn't dare to say that he would continue to fight the tiger prison.

Entering the Guanzhong in the west, this was originally the middle of the three strategies that Li Mi had set for Yang Xuangan, but Yang Xuangan did not agree at the beginning, so he chose a strategy to attack Luoyang.

At this time, the original strategy of attacking Zhuojun to block Yang Guang naturally did not work, and the next strategy of attacking Luoyang was even more useless, and there was only this one way left.

So everyone said it was a good plan.

Li Mi looked at these people and sighed in his heart.

"Your Majesty, now that Yuan Hongsi has a strong army in Longyou, he can claim the opposite and send an envoy to welcome the public, so he can enter the customs and give it to the public."

Although Li Mi was extremely disappointed in Yang Xuan, everyone was a grasshopper on a rope, and he could only help with ideas. His idea was very simple, in fact, it was the same as the routine of the last Liyang rebellion. Last time, Luo Cheng rebelled in Donglai, and they wanted to go to quell the rebellion as an excuse to recruit soldiers and horses.

And this time, Li Mi said, we can make a rumor, let's say that Longyou's Yuan Hongsi rebelled and sent someone to pick us up. In this way, it can also alleviate the problem of low morale of our military today. Then we can bypass the Tiger Prison Pass, go to the southwest, we don't go to the Tiger Prison and don't go to Tongguan, let's go to Nanyang and Wuguan, and enter the pass through Lantian. When we get there, we can also pretend to be the officials and soldiers who went to Pinglong Youyuan Hongsi to rebel, deceive the military pass, and then take Chang'an directly.

Yang Xuan felt that the officers and soldiers of Wuguan must be so easy to deceive, but at this time, he just wanted to deceive himself first and anesthetize himself. Otherwise, what will happen next?

No one said that they wanted to break the tiger prison and occupy Luoyang.

The encirclement has been formed, and all they want now is to break the encirclement and make a thousand-mile breakthrough. If you can escape into Guanzhong by luck, it is naturally the best, but it really can't be done, and you can't stay here and wait for death.

However, this plan is indeed feasible, provided that it can be successfully killed all the way to Wuguan, and then break through this Xiongguan to enter the Guanzhong.

I don't dare to say that I can really break through Daxing, at least I can survive and add some time.

Li Mi didn't forget to remind Yang Xuangan.

If you want this plan to be implemented smoothly, there is only one point, that is, fast, the world's martial arts, only fast and unbroken. The same is true in war, where officers and soldiers cannot be given time to give feedback and exchange information.

We must use the fastest speed, without dragging mud and water to Wuguan, and then break through the pass into the pass, while all the armies are still in Xingyang here to encircle, let's avoid the real and break through the pass.

Yang Xuangan also followed the advice at this time.

So that night, at the second watch, Yang Xuangan quietly retreated with the whole army, in order to buy a little more time, he even ordered that all the camp materials should not be brought, and even many of the old family members who defected to him did not bring it.

Yang Xuangan's escape speed was still very fast, he and Li Mi's two armies converged, each with only about 30,000 people fled south, along the canal first south, and then along Caishui into Huaiyang County, bypassing Wei Wensheng's army who rushed to Xuchang, ran to Runan and Nanyang, fled into Shannan through the Nanyang Basin, and went straight to Wuguan.

I have to say that this move is really unexpected by officials and soldiers from all walks of life.

Yang Xuangan ran all night, Xingyang closed only to find that they ran in the middle of the night, Zhang Xutuo and Pei Renji discussed, to prevent Yang Xuangan from doing tricks, so Pei Renji led 10,000 troops out of the city to chase, Zhang Xutuo continued to guard the tiger prison.

Pei Renji had few soldiers and didn't dare to chase too close, so he hung all the way behind and chased slowly.

Over there, Wei Wensheng had just rushed to Xuchang with 60,000 soldiers and horses, but he received news that Yang Xuangan had actually run away from their south.

So Wei Wensheng had to take the soldiers and horses to join Pei Renji and chase after him.

At the beginning, Wei Wensheng and Pei Renji were not sure that Yang Xuangan was going to Wuguan, and they always thought that he was more likely to bypass the tiger prison and kill in Luoyang.

So along the way, the left and right were blocked, and the result was wrong, but Yang Xuangan successfully entered Nanyang.

At this time, it is already too late to chase again.

Entering the Nanyang Basin, many rebels were reluctant to run anymore at this time. Along the way, every county is a county, every county is a county, no siege is not broken, only know how to run, and there is not much food for speed.

Along the way, the rebels had almost eaten enough food, and the rations began to be reduced in the past few days, and most of the rebels did not have enough to eat.

Therefore, when they arrived at Nanyang City, many generals made speeches to Yang Xuangan, saying that Nanyang was empty, and there was a lot of food, and it was easy to attack. Nanyang is a large basin, here has always been a very rich place, it is not wrong to say that there is a lot of grain, and it is not wrong that Nanyang is empty, because Wei Wensheng passed near Nanyang and also summoned the soldiers who defended the city from here.

Some people also told Yang Xuangan that after Nanyang, and then go west, but it is all dangerous mountains and bad waters, if you can't open the martial arts, you have to attack hard, if there is no food in the army, the soldiers are tired, how to attack the city?

Therefore, first take advantage of the emptiness of Nanyang, let's break through Nanyang, have a good meal, loot by the way, and boost the morale of the army, and then let's go to attack Wuguan.

Yang Xuangan thought left and right, and felt that it was indeed such a reason, how could there be a war without food, so he agreed.

Li Mi led the rear army, heard the news and hurried to see Yang Xuangan, and persuaded us before, but we said that we wanted to be fast and fast, and we wanted to deceive Wuguan, let's fight Nanyang here, didn't Wuguan know at once that we were coming? How else to deceive? Besides, Wei Wensheng and Pei Renji have been chasing after each other, although they misjudged and thought that we would go to Luoyang, so they ran north to block, but now they know that we are going to Wuguan, and they must be coming with all their might, we are still here to fight Nanyang at this time, and when their army arrives, we will not be able to hold the pass, retreat and have nothing to defend, and the public will disperse, how can we be self-sufficient?

After hearing this, Yang Xuan felt that this was also very reasonable.

But after hesitating for a long time, Yang Xuangan still decided to attack the city, "The army must not be without food, and if there is no food, it will collapse itself, and wait for me to take Nanyang and seize the grain in the city first." ”

There are indeed not many soldiers in Nanyang City, but Nanyang is also a big city, and Taishou is still the clan of the Yang family. He guarded Nanyang, he was more active than anyone else, and if someone else's city was broken, he could still descend Yang Xuangan, could he descend? Besides, who doesn't know that Yang Xuangan is going to finish.

So he organized the defense of the city with all his might, and Yang Xuangan stormed for three days, but he didn't capture it.

And these precious three days allowed Wei Wensheng and Pei Renji to finally arrive.

On the one hand, there were 60,000 rebels who had no food, and on the other hand, there were 70,000 officers and soldiers who were finally catching up with the rebels, and the two armies fought unceremoniously under Nanyang City.

There is no suspense, although Yang Xuangan is fierce, his 60,000 soldiers are not comparable to Wei Wensheng and Pei Renji's 70,000 officers and soldiers, not to mention that the whole army is hungry and tired.

Ten battles in one day, ten battles and ten defeats.

Yang Xuangan's army was defeated for a hundred miles, and the 60,000 people dispersed in one day, only more than ten horsemen fled in embarrassment, and Li Mi, Li Zimi, and others were all defeated and scattered in the melee!
