Chapter 62: King Yama

Shi Wansui and the Sui general crossed by by mistake, and the two sides fought for more than ten rounds of riding battles without seeing a superiority, he was quite amazed that the other party still had such a strong strength at the age of the Mandate of Heaven, and at the same time, he felt that this person was a little familiar.

That's right, it's him! Shi Wansui recognized the other party and immediately shook his distance away, "Xinyi County Gongyong is still not losing back then!" ”

"You are?" When General Sui heard this, he took the horse lance, looked at Shi Wansui carefully, and then asked in surprise: "Long live Jingzhao Shi?" ”

"Exactly."

"You're not" General Sui was a little surprised, and after thinking for a moment, he suddenly said: "You actually voted for Chen Jun!" ”

He looked at Shi Wansui's somewhat ill-fitting uniform, looked at the cavalry chasing after him, and then looked at the noisy Xincai City, nodded slightly and laughed: "I see, why did the Zhou army come here." ”

"Is the prince of Xinyi going to fight our army here?" Shi Wansui spoke, he glanced at the approaching cavalry from the north, and saw that the one with full beard and full tail breathed a sigh of relief and began to 'mediate'.

"Has General Shi done the master?" Sui will cut directly to the main point, it is said that the two sides are incompatible, but at this moment, it is a little out of place to play with their lives, if Fang Cai immediately saw that he knew that the cavalry was the Zhou army, he would not lead the troops to chase and kill, so as not to cause trouble.

"We'll find out later." After Shi Wansui finished speaking, he rode his horse and slowly retreated to show his sincerity, and when Sui Jiang saw this, he also signaled his subordinates to gather away and not to make misleading moves.

There were many cavalry rushing out of the Chen army camp that was burned into a sea of fire, they were all cavalry of the Hulin Army, and now they have successfully completed the arson task, and they will accept it when they see it, and they will surround Shi Wansui and others when they see that they are confronting the Sui army in yellow uniforms.

A group of people rushed out of the barracks, but they were also Sui troops, they were all covered in blood, although there were many of them, they were all infantry, and they approached their own cavalry in the wilderness on foot, and they formed a formation as they marched, and the soldiers with spears surrounded the outermost side and looked well-trained.

Shi Wansui stopped his subordinates to intercept the Sui cavalry, and let it converge with the infantry, and when he saw Yu Wenwen, who arrived later, he greeted him: "Envoy, they are the Sui army." ”

"This official knows!" Yu Wenwen looked at the Sui army and said, Shi Wansui saw this tiger who looked like a tiger with a beard plucked, and said again: "They are the Sui army who came to attack the granary of the Chen army." ”

"I know, huh?" Yu Wenwen came back to his senses, the first priority today is to set fire to the Chen army's granary, they want to set fire to it, and this group of Sui troops who appeared inexplicably are also going to set fire, so if the two armies play with their lives at this moment, it will be cheaper for Chen Jun.

Zhou Faming, who killed the red eye, also came back to his senses, he saw that Yu Wenwen seemed to have regained his senses, and motioned to the subordinates around him not to rush forward to find the Sui army's bad luck, Shi Wansui saw that the boss heard the meaning of his words and hurriedly struck while the iron was hot.

"Envoy, the granary has been burned, the first thing is to retreat with all his body, so that these people can attract Chen Jun's attention"

Yu Wenwen nodded, this strategy is very damaging and cost-effective, the Sui army in front of him came to burn the granary by boat, anyway, the speed of retreat is definitely not as fast as their horses, anyway, there are these birdmen carrying the black cauldron, then there will be a lot less Chen army chasing their own side.

"What does Wednesday mean?" Yu Wenwen decided to find another person to carry the black cauldron of decision-making together, Sui Jun is their sworn enemy, if they let go, they will always be criticized, so they have to 'share the difficulties'.

"Envoy, staying too long will only increase the variables, so I won't bother with them this time." Zhou Faming said, he is not a fool, so he heard Yuwen Wen's voiceover, but he knew that this decision was the most correct, since these Sui troops were here to attack the granary of the Chen army, they were probably some sharp soldiers, although there were many cavalry on their side, but it was completely unnecessary to fight with the other party here and now.

If the other party has nearly a thousand people to eat, casualties are inevitable, but this is not the point, the worst thing is that it is easy to block the back road for Chen Jun, who rushed to hear the news, and then break through and the loss will be greater, but it is also a little unhappy to let the other party go.

"Master Shi seems to know that Sui general?" Zhou Faming asked, just now he vaguely saw the two sides talking, considering that Sui Jun was actually the previous Zhou Jun, maybe this Shi Jun Master really knew each other.

Shi Wansui saw that Yu Wenwen also looked at him, so he nodded and said: "This person was originally the Xinyi County Duke of Zhou State, surnamed Han and Capture Tiger, and the last general was in the army in the past."

Yu Wenwen heard Han Baohu's three words, and he couldn't hear what Shi Wansui said later, so he was chased and almost shot in the head, the horse lance was snatched and the saber was sent flying, and the shame of being forced to make a killer weapon was swept away.

It turned out to be the famous general of the Sui Dynasty, Han Baohu!

Han Baohu, formerly known as Han Baobao, was known for his courage and strategy when he was young, with a good appearance and burly figure, good at reading, it is rumored that he was thirteen years old when he captured a tiger with his bare hands, so he changed his name to Han Baohu, according to the naming rules of the second yuan of later generations, this can be called a strange man.

Han Baohu has made countless military exploits through the Zhou and Sui dynasties, especially as a Sui general who made great contributions when he destroyed Chen, and the Sui book even recorded that he became the king of Yama in the Yin Cao Difu after his death, Yuwen Wen felt that his current level of cavalry combat was acceptable, and it was good luck to survive in front of this strange man who captured the tiger with his bare hands.

I'm going to burn incense when I go back!

"Envoy?" Shi Wansui asked, he was a little worried when he saw Yuwen Wen wandering, the surprise attack was when he left immediately, and it would really not be good if he was entangled with the Sui army for a long time.

"Let's go, after Shi Jun's decision." Yu Wenwen said, now is not the time to sigh cleanly, a group of cavalry rushed out of the direction of Xincai City towards them, but at a glance it was Zhou Fashang and his subordinates.

The Sui army was a little nervous when they saw another group of cavalry coming out, and seeing that they had no intention of fighting, they couldn't help but look at the Zhou army in front of them.

Han Baohu was interested in seeing that the young general was about to lead the troops to retreat, but just now he mistakenly thought that the other party was Chen Jun and pursued him hard, not only almost shot this one off the horse with an arrow, but also grabbed the lance, the other party was beaten in embarrassment, it is said that he should be holding back a belly of fire, but now he can judge the situation.

He felt that most of the young men who were ordinary were strong-blooded, and there were so many cavalry in his hands that he thought that he would give up if he had to fight a vicious battle, but he was young but could endure it, although he was immature in riding and fighting, but his strength was good, and he was barely a piece of material.

"This official is the Great Sui Hezhou Assassin Han Baohu, I don't know who the little general's surname is!" Han Baohu shouted loudly, he felt that the other party could decisively attack Xin Cai and break Chen Jun's attempt to gain a foothold in Jiangbei, and it seemed that he had a good vision to think so.

It is very likely that Chen's army will occupy Xincai and take Jinzhou, and when the time comes, it can threaten both Hezhou of Sui and Qizhou of Zhou to the northeast, and it is not bad to be able to take precautions.

"This official Da Zhou Bazhou stabbed Shi Yu Wenwen." Yuwen Wen is not secretive, this kind of prestige thing is not wanted.

"Yuwen Wen?" Han Baohu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, he knew that the reputation of this Zhou Guozong when he was in Chang'an was not very good, and he seemed to be a rich and noble man who was dissolute, and he thought that the mediocre Yu Wenliang's two sons were not outstanding, but now it seems that there are still some differences with the rumors.

Or let him carry out someone else's plan

"Han Envoy-kun." Yu Wenwen suddenly asked, "I don't know if my nephew Li Langjun can be in the army?" ”

He remembered that he had already decided, if Han Baohu's nephew surnamed Li was in the army, then even if he fought with heavy casualties, he would have to be eaten by this Sui army, but Han Baohu's subsequent answer disappointed Yuwenwen: "My nephew is at ease in Chang'an, what is the matter with Yuwen Envoy?" ”

Han Baohu's nephew surnamed Li is Li Jing, a generation of military gods in the early Tang Dynasty, and Yu Wenwen has evil thoughts to abduct the population, and wants to kidnap this military god seed who should be more than ten years old now.

But now it seems that he thinks too much, according to the practice at this time, all men must be adults when they join the army, that is, they are at least fifteen years old, and it is impossible for Li Jing, who is a minor, to stay away from his parents and run to a place where the war is raging to follow his uncle.

"Go back and tell Yang Jian that the blood debt of dozens of people in the Yuwen Sect will personally ask him for it!" Yu Wenwen let out cruel words, spurred his horse to lead his subordinates to leave and join Zhou Fashang, and Shi Wansui led the troops to break off.

"It is impossible to keep the Yuwen clan's country, don't daydream anymore" Han Baohu thought, looking back at the Chen army's granary, which had burned most of it, he turned his horse and led the troops towards the river.

"Retreat now!" ……

A mountain col, Yu Wenwen and his entourage, who attacked Xin Cai, were resting, and the attack was a complete victory, and the grain and grass of Chen Guo's northward army were burned to the ground, and by the way, Xin Cai City was thrown into a pot of porridge, and Hengzhou Assassin Zhou Fashang also killed the Chen generals who guarded Xin Cai.

"Hezhou Assassin Shi personally led the army to sneak attack, it seems that the persecution of the Hezhou Governor's Mansion by the Xuzhou Army and the Qingzhou Army is not enough." Zhou Fashang pointed to Yutu with a branch and said, the Hezhou Governor's Mansion of the Sui State has now been attacked by the north and the south, and he was able to send troops to attack the Chen Juntun grain office by surprise, which shows that the other party is at ease.

"Yu Zhongwen, the governor of Hezhou in the Sui State, is very capable of fighting, plus this experienced Hezhou assassin Han captures the tiger, I can't really carry the Zhou army in the north and the Chen army in the south." Shi Wansui added a few words.

"Three years ago, this Hezhou was captured by Han Baohu, of course, they were still the generals of the Zhou army at that time." Yu Wenwen nodded, "The grain and grass have been burned, the Chen army is finished now, and the Sui army will be able to concentrate its forces to deal with the Zhou army in the north, it seems that the trend of the battle is unclear." ”

"How did these Sui soldiers come over?" Zhou Faming asked.

"Walk the Thunder Pool." Zhou Fashang said, he pointed the branch to a large circle east of Xincai City, "Leichi is located south of Yongxing, its width from east to west is dozens of miles, plus the waters of other lakes that exceed hundreds of miles, the Sui army can enter the Leichi from the east end to bypass the Chen army besieging Yongxing, and approach Xincai by boat at Leichi." ”

"Chen Jun is stupid and doesn't know how to watch out for the water surface of the thunder pool?" Zhou Faming was a little incredulous, leading the troops to march and fight without being familiar with the terrain and looking for death, he thought that if the Xincai defenders did not pay attention to the direction of the thunder pool, it was really stupid.

"The southern end of Leichi is close to the Yangtze River, so I think it was to carry the boat south into the river in advance, pretending to be a Chen army warship, and the landing camp broke out." Shi Wansui said that he kept an eye on the rampage of the Chen army camp by the riverside and found that the Sui army rushed into the camp from the southeast end of the river.

"What does Chen Jun think, but such an important place is negligent in taking precautions, no wonder the Northern Expedition can't win." Zhou Faming muttered a sentence, completely forgetting that he was still a native of Chen a few years ago, and his father Zhou Jiong also participated in several Northern Expeditions as a general of the Chen army.

"There are few cavalry, poor mobility, and the grain road is too long, and as a result, there are flaws everywhere in front of the cavalry of the Northern Dynasty!" Yu Wenwen began to complain, "Unless you build a fortress all the way to the north and advance step by step, but before that, the court of the Chen State has already gone bankrupt." ”

Solving the problem of why he encountered the unexpected surprise of the Sui army, Yu Wenwen began to be eager to make another big news, and he suggested continuing to pretend to be the Sui army to go to Yongning west of Xincai, along the north bank of the Yangtze River to the west to touch Qikou, and then turn north to give Chen Jun under Qichang a 'surprise'.

"Yuwen envoy, forgive Zhou's bluntness, this strategy is not feasible." Zhou Fashang immediately objected.

"Why?" Yuwen Wen was puzzled, taking advantage of the chaotic period when Chen Jun thought that he was just being attacked by the Sui army, he went to Qikou to burn grain and grass while the iron was hot, day and night, and then stabbed Chen Jun's chrysanthemum outside Qichang City.

Zhou Fashang smiled and didn't say anything, just raised his finger and pointed to the sky, Yu Wenwen looked up and saw that the dark clouds on his head looked like a storm was coming, this season Jiangnan is not only rainy but also often heavy rain.

"Well, let's go back the way we came." Yu Wenwen nodded, today the rabbit meets the tiger is still a future king of Yama, but he has to go back quickly to burn incense to suppress the shock. (To be continued.) )
