Looking at the Tang army retreating like a tide, Yao Junsu's tense expression suddenly relaxed, he leaned on the battlements, turned his head to look in the direction of Jiangdu, and sighed.

The soldiers of the Sui army who originally won the battle fell into silence after cheering for a while, everyone was powerless to clean up the battlefield, everyone was either tired and exhausted or looked preoccupied, I don't know, I thought the Sui army had lost the battle!

Wang Xingben's armor was stained with blood, and his helmet was stained with brains, he dragged a mace with almost a bare iron rod left in his hand, walked to Yao Junsu's side, and shouted excitedly: "General, the Tang army has retreated, and we have won!" We won! ”

Hearing this, Yao Jun saw that his subordinates were cleaning the battlefield everywhere, and there was no one around, so he sighed in a low voice: "What's the use of winning this battle?" The world's major events are so decadent, I'm afraid I'm going to lose the whole country! ”

Wang Xingben's face was stunned, and he asked, "General, what does this mean, general?" ”

"Alas~!" Yao Junsu sighed, he didn't want to complain about the government, so he had to turn around and say: "Do you know why I still want to kill Li Yuan's son-in-law today, knowing that the enemy will be Li Yuan's son-in-law?" ”

Wang Xingben replied: "Capture the thief and capture the king first, if you can capture and kill the enemy general on the battlefield, it is enough to turn the tide of the battle and lay the chance for victory!" Didn't what the general did to deter the enemy and strengthen the morale of our army? ”

Yao Junsu smiled bitterly: "This is only part of the reason, I killed that Zhao Cijing, not only to show the determination of the general to swear allegiance to the Great Sui, but also to leave a way out for you!" ”

Wang Xingben was puzzled and asked, "Leave a way out for us?" Under the dullness, I hope the general will make it clear! ”

Yao Junsu hooked his mouth and said: "Now, the entire Hedong region is under the control of Li Tang, and my Puban has become an isolated city. Moreover, we can't wait for reinforcements, the eastern capital is now surrounded by Li Mi's thief army, and it is impossible to have spare strength to rescue us! I don't know what happened now, I haven't seen the Holy Face for a long time! ”

"Xingben, you and I are my own brothers, I will only say this to you alone. To be honest, I am very pessimistic about the future of the Great Sui! In the past few years, the situation of the Great Sui has taken a sharp turn for the worse, wars are everywhere, princes are everywhere, and the territory that the imperial court can control is already a handful! ”

"I am a guard of the Jin Palace, these years, thanks to the grace of the saint, I have the status of Yao Junsu today, I am for the saint, for the Great Sui, except for a death, there is nothing to repay! Now, Pusaka's food is enough to eat for a year and a half, when all these grains are eaten, the general trend of the world will gradually become clear, if, the Great Sui will eventually lose the world, the destiny of heaven has returned, I Yaojun should be self-determined to be foolish and loyal, you should also take my head to find a good way out! ”

Hearing this, Wang Xingben's face changed, and he hurriedly said, "General, what are these words!?" You and I are brothers, how can we use your head to ask for merit and reward from the enemy! It's impossible! ”

Yao Junsu smiled miserably and said: "Xingben, you have followed me for many years, between you and me, the name and I are really brothers, you should know that what I said is my heart, you should listen to it!" The geographical location of Pusaka is very important, and the Tang Army is bound to win Pusaka! What's more, if I kill Mrs. Li's son-in-law today, he will not allow me, and when the time comes, you will take my head and surrender, not only will you be spared death, but you will even be able to increase your rank and become a knight! ”

Wang Xingben flatly refused: "General, what do you think of me!?" I'd rather die than do this kind of thing! ”

"Alas~!" Yao Junsu sighed and said, "If you don't do it, someone will do it, and I won't blame you!" When the time comes, I hope that you, Wang Xingben, will not learn from me to act against the sky, even if you go home to farm! ”

Wang Xingben said firmly: "If my brother kills my brother, I will kill him!" ”

"Alas~!"

Twenty miles outside Puban City, the Tang Army camp.

Since the last time Zhao Cijing died in battle, Dugu Huaien was severely reprimanded by Li Yuan, forcing Dugu Huaien to carry out several large-scale attacks, but it was still with little success and no success.

At night, the Dugu Huai'en tent of the Chinese army was still brightly lit, and the big and small generals sat together, but they all frowned and did not say a word.

Dugu Huaien has been in a very bad mood recently, and Zhao Cijing's death, coupled with the delay in taking Puban City, has made his political future more and more bleak. He walked around the big tent irritably, and said hatefully: "Everyone, are we helpless in the face of a small Kasaka? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's heads shrugged and became more and more depressed.

Seeing this, Dugu Huaien became more and more angry, and scolded: "Aren't your usual cowhides blowing very big? Didn't you say that you were very good at fighting!? What's wrong, dumb today!? Tell you, if you can't take Pusaka, Li Yuan wants to cure my crimes, and Lao Tzu will cure you first! ”

Seeing this, Tang Jian, the pseudo-Tang Zhongshu Shilang, the scattered cavalry Chang Shi, and the Duke of Jinchang County, Tang Jian, had to withstand the anger of Dugu Huai'en, and stepped forward and suggested: "Dugu Shangshu, the only plan for today, we must not be in a hurry, now Yao Junsu also knows his own situation, and there is some confusion and panic in his heart, we still have to focus on the inside, spend more time, and let them collapse by themselves!" ”

"What do you mean?" Dugu Huaien asked.

Tang Jian smiled slightly, pinched his chin lightly, and said: "The biggest obstacle to our attack on Pusaka is this Yao Junsu, and the reason why this person is so stubborn is completely out of loyalty to the saint personally, as long as we pretend to spread the news of the saint's murder in Jiangdu, the whole army will wear linen and filial piety, Yao Junsu will definitely believe it, and his faith will collapse!" And most of the family members of the generals in the city are people from Guanzhong or Bingzhou, Dugu Shangshu only needs to repair a book, and ask the Tang King to send a new force to bring their families here, so that under the coercion and temptation, internal and external attacks, the hearts of the people in the city will inevitably be uneven, and our opportunity will come! ”

Hearing this, Dugu Huaien was overjoyed, and laughed and said: "Wei Shilang's plan is wonderful!" Okay, just do what you want! I think it must be Jiang Guogong to go back to Beijing to ask for his life! You know your original subordinates well, and you are familiar with the battle situation on the front line, it is only fitting for you to go back and ask King Tang for your life! ”

Seeing that Dugu Huaien blocked the words in one mouthful, Qu Tutong hooked his mouth, and had no choice but to say: "So, without further ado, then I'll leave overnight!" ”
