Since Tian Shen led the army to hurriedly march west, he encountered Li Shenfu's army here, but Li Shenfu saw that the enemy was outnumbered but set up a large village to hold on, and never fought with Tian Yan.

Tian Yan has always been very jealous of Li Shenfu, which is why he did not hesitate to lead the army after hearing that Wang Tan and Wang Jian were defeated. But at this time, Li Shenfu defended himself according to the village, and Tian Yan had no choice but to confront him here.

However, a few days later, Yang Wu led his army south, and the news that the target was directly aimed at Xuanzhou made him have to lead his army back again.

Fortunately, the news found by the scouts showed that Yang Wu's Huainan army was not large, only more than 10,000 people, which made him breathe a sigh of relief. After all, Wuhu also has to leave troops to defend it, and looking at all the generals under his command, no one is Li Shenfu's opponent under the same conditions, so he can only leave more troops to block Li Shenfu.

After some consideration, Tian Yan decided to let his generals Guo Xingzong, Wang Tan, and Wang Jian lead 20,000 troops to confront Li Shenfu, and he himself led 20,000 troops to fight Yang Wu.

To say that Huainan has the most advantage compared with other feudal forces in the south, it is not that there are more troops and larger territory, but that Huainan has a group of famous generals who can fight well.

If a famous general wants to be trained, he needs to fight constantly, and only in continuous fighting can he experience a famous future.

At the beginning, Yang Xingmi fought with Qin Yan, Bi Shiduo, Sun Ru and other forces in order to compete for Huainan, especially with Sun Ru's repeated vicious battles, Huainan generals were defeated in successive battles, and they were a little numb after defeat, but it was precisely because of this that Huainan's generals were fully trained, and later many people became famous generals who could take charge of one side alone.

Although Tai Meng was a little greedy for money, he did have something outstanding in leading the army to fight, and his simple plan made Tian Yan obediently scheming, mistakenly thinking that Yang Wu did not have many troops, and only brought 20,000 people to fight.

On the third day of April, in Guangde County, the sun was in the sky.

When Tian Yan led an army of 20,000 to Guangde County to meet Yang Wu's army head-on, and lined up to prepare for battle, he was surprised to find that the Huainan army on the opposite side was not only more than 10,000 people as reported by the scouts before, but doubled to more than 20,000 people, and the strength was even more than the army brought by Tian Yan.

At this time, Tian Yan had long lost the vigor he had when he rebelled. Before the rebellion, he united with Zhu Yanshou and An Renyi, thinking that he could take advantage of Li Shenfu's westward crusade against Du Hong to attack Shengzhou, but he didn't expect that the first battle after the rebellion hit the nail, and then the naval army led by Wang Tan and the two was defeated by Li Shenfu in Jiyangji. The successive defeats made him realize that rebellion was not as easy as he thought.

And those generals under Tian Yan's command also lost the self-confidence they had at this time, if they weren't afraid that surrender would be liquidated by Yang Xingmi, I was afraid that some of these generals would have been unable to help but surrender.

At this time, seeing that Yang Wu's army on the opposite side was twice as large as they had known in advance, the morale of the generals couldn't help but drop greatly. And when the soldiers saw that the opposite army was in good order and the military was at its peak, they were also a little commotion.

At this moment, dozens of cavalry rushed out of the Huainan army's formation, and this group of men and horses stopped when they reached about a stone's throw in front of the Xuanzhou army's formation.

The general at the head looked extremely young, with silver armor and white robes, and was quite dignified, it was Yang Wu. When he arrived in front of the battle, he raised an edict in his hand and shouted: "The king's edict, the generals of Xuanzhou will receive the edict!" ”

The generals in the Xuanzhou army couldn't help but look at each other, they were already rebel generals at this time, and what they created was Yang Xingmi's rebellion, but now Yang Xingmi sent someone to give them an edict, but what did they mean?

"Could it be that I heard it wrong?" The generals thought to themselves, but no one answered.

Seeing that no one on the other side dared to answer, Yang Wu shouted loudly again: "The generals of Xuanzhou have served under the king for many years in the past, and they have been favored by the king. Now that the king has an edict, why don't the generals dismount and listen? ”

There was silence in front of the two phalanxes, only the echo of the words "why don't you get off the horse and listen" kept coming, and the generals of Xuanzhou knew that they had not heard it wrong just now, and they couldn't help but ponder.

After a while, one of the generals turned over and dismounted, bowed to the ground and said: "The last general is commonplace, listen to the king's edict!" ”

Then, another general dismounted and bowed down: "The last general, Tan Gang, listen to the king's edict!" ”

As these two people took the lead, the rest of the Xuanzhou generals also dismounted and bowed down: "The last general will listen to the king's edict!" ”

This is Yang Xingmi's might, and it is the power he has fought in the past 20 years! Even if these generals have raised troops to rebel, they will still dismount and bow after hearing Yang Xingmi's edict.

Those Xuanzhou soldiers saw that their generals had bowed down, and they also knelt down, and for a while, only Tian Yan was the only one in the Xuanzhou army, his face was terrifyingly dark, and he hated to look at Sikong Guan, who was the first to take the lead in worshipping, and his heart was annoyed.

On the other side, Yang Wu didn't care how dark Tian Yan's face was, he saw that the rest of the Xuanzhou generals had already dismounted and bowed, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly unfolded the edict and read it.

"Liao Tianyun, when you were eighteen years old, you were caught by Sun Ru's army, and you almost made rations for Sun Ru's thief army, and it was the king's army that saved you. Later, you joined the army and became the king's bodyguard, and later, you were promoted to captain at the age of 20, promoted to battalion commander at the age of 23, and became the head of the capital at the age of 26. Are you not ashamed that you do not want to repay the service now, but help the thief? ”

Liao Tianyun slammed his head on the ground, hid his face and wept, not daring to answer.

Yang Wu continued to read: "Liu Zong, when you were young, you were poor, and your family almost starved to death, but it was the king's army that helped you survive. Later......"

Yang Wu pointed out the resumes of these generals one by one, explained the kindness they received at the beginning, and said that these generals were ashamed.

Yang Wu said again: "The ancients ate the king's lu, and the matter of loyalty to the king, the king treated you well, and now you don't think about returning, but you are either deceived by others, or held hostage by others, so that you help thieves to cause trouble, and fight with my king." Now that he is not returning quickly, with the generosity of the king, he will definitely not be guilty of the past! Wait for yourself! ”

After that, Yang Wu stopped speaking, and returned to his own phalanx, but the Xuanzhou army on the opposite side suddenly became noisy.

Yang Wu just read all the information collected by Fan Yu's long sword, maybe some of the generals present were not read by name, and some of the generals who read their names were not present, but the sentence "With the generosity of the king, I will definitely not blame the past" made these generals firmly remember.

Yang Xingmi's generosity is well-known, and his reputation is excellent, since he said that he is not to blame for the past, then he will really not blame the past, and he will never settle accounts again.

These generals were originally a little optimistic about the future of the rebellion because of the successive defeats, but now that they have been assured that they will not be blamed as long as they surrender, some of the generals are immediately shaken.

Of course, now in front of the two armies, Tian Yan's gloomy and terrifying face was staring at them, making them shudder, so although their hearts were a little shaken, no one dared to surrender on the spot under Tian Yan's prestige.

However, it is certain that their morale will decline further, and in the next engagement, these generals are afraid that they will not fight so desperately again.
