Tian Yulong, who was sitting in Cangwu City, immediately wrote to Xiao Daocheng after learning the news of Shi Luosheng's annihilation, and put all the responsibility for the previous defeats on Shi Luosheng. said that he disobeyed his general order and acted without authorization, and the last time he pursued Chu General Lin Peiyuan, the second prince Xiao Yu was ambushed, and he is still unconscious. And this time, he sent troops to attack Yulin City without authorization, resulting in the annihilation of the whole army, and now the defenders of Cangwu City are seriously insufficient, so he asked Xiao Daocheng to send another reinforcement army over.

Xiao Daocheng was furious after seeing the chapter, and scolded Shi Luosheng for misleading the country. Fortunately, Deng Yuanjue had already repelled Gao Kegong at this time, and Xiao Daocheng ordered Deng Yuanjue to rescue Cangwu City.

The crown prince Xiao Yan and the third prince Xiao Che were both skeptical about the news of Shi Luosheng's death in battle, and asked Xiao Daocheng to let him also bring a force to rescue Cangwu. In the end, Xiao Daocheng only agreed to Xiao Che to go to Cangwu with 20,000 forbidden troops. As for Xiao Yan, because he was a prince, he couldn't easily leave the capital during the war, so he was not agreed by Xiao Daocheng.

Neither Li Peifu nor Tian Yulong thought that Shi Luosheng would send 2,000 people for Wang Lun to take away before the sneak attack on Yulin, Li Peifu said to the outside world that the whole army was annihilated, thinking that Shi Luosheng only had 3,000 people, and Tian Yulong heard that the whole army was annihilated, thinking that all the 5,000 people of Shi Luosheng were killed in battle.

At this time, Wang Lun was leading 2,000 people to detour north of Yuyang, and on the way, he also heard the news that Shi Luosheng's entire army was annihilated, but Wang Lun firmly believed that the two were not dead. According to the agreement with Shi Luosheng in advance, Wang Lun sent people to Deng Yuanjue and the crown prince Xiao Yan respectively, explaining to them that Tian Yulong was to put the responsibility for his defeat on Shi Luosheng, so that Shi Luosheng took the risk of taking 5,000 people to attack Yulin City, and at the same time, Tian Yulong betrayed his whereabouts to the Qin army in order to put Shi Luosheng to death, which finally led to the annihilation of Shi Luosheng's entire army.

After Deng Yuanjue, who was far away in Yuzhou, received Xiao Daocheng's order to let him rescue Cangwu, he didn't believe what Tian Yulong said at all, he knew Shi Luosheng too well, even if Shi Luosheng didn't agree with Tian Yulong's tactics, he would never disobey the order on the spot and act without authorization.

Later, Wang Lun's letter was also delivered, Deng Yuanjue was even more furious after reading it, and the eldest prince Xiao Yin has also been by Deng Yuanjue's side, saying: "General, Xiao Yu has always been by Tian Taiwei's side, Tian Taiwei did such a betrayal of loyalty, Xiao Yu can't be ignorant, I didn't expect that my younger brother would do this kind of thing in order to evade responsibility, it's too chilling." Unlike Deng Yuanjue, Xiao Yin was thinking about how to drag his younger brother into the water together.

Deng Yuanjue didn't have time to consider whether Xiao Yu was also involved in this matter at this time, so he hurriedly ordered 10,000 cavalry to rush to rescue Cangwu overnight, and the remaining 40,000 infantry were led by Xiao Yin to Cangwu City, and the garrison of Yuzhou City was still in charge of Wu Teng.

After learning that Yulin City was almost successfully attacked by Shi Luosheng, Wan Hailong asked Lin Peiyuan for another 10,000 people, besieged Cangwu City, and organized people to attack in turn day and night, not daring to let another person escape.

In the past few days, all the young people in Cangwu City who can be mobilized have been mobilized, because Li Peifu delayed for a few days before announcing the news of Shi Luosheng's defeat, causing Tian Yulong not to dare to ask Xiao Daocheng for reinforcements before he was sure that Shi Luosheng was dead. Just after a few days, Cangwu City will not be able to hold it, and just now Dai Tuo sent someone to tell him that he could hold it until noon tomorrow at most, so that he could prepare for a breakthrough.

"Lord Qiyu, the second prince has woken up." A voice interrupted Tian Yulong's thoughts.

"Your Highness, you have finally woken up, you have been in a coma for half a month, and you are worried about the death of the old minister." After hearing that Xiao Yu was awake, Tian Yulong immediately came to Xiao Yu's side.

Xiao Yu opened his eyes and glanced at Tian Yulong, and asked softly, "Let Taiwei worry, what about Taifu?" ”

Tian Yulong's heart tightened, and he asked everyone in the room to retreat, and said: "Taifu led troops to attack Yulin City a few days ago, but Li Peifu saw through it, and the whole army has been wiped out, and Taifu has also died. ”

Xiao Yu was shocked: "What? Taifu is dead? He saved me twice, and before I could thank him, why did he die? Captain, tell me what happened, how could he attack Yulin City? There's no chance of winning at all. Although Xiao Yu is not proficient in military affairs, he also knows that Shi Luosheng will never attack Yulin by himself.

Tian Yulong hesitated whether to tell Xiao Yu about his betrayal of Shi Luosheng, thought about it again, and finally chose to tell Xiao Yu everything.

Xiao Yu's eyes darkened after hearing this, and he asked weakly, "Why?" Why are you doing this? Taifu risked his life to save me twice, and he also saved you once. ”

Hearing Xiao Yu's questioning, Tian Yulong's long-suppressed anger suddenly exploded, and he roared, "Why? Your Highness, why are you asking me? I'm not doing it all for you. Who is he, that is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and it is General Deng's person, whether he supports the Crown Prince or the Great Prince, he is a threat to you. On this expedition, the eldest prince followed Deng Yuanjue to defeat the Chu army in a row, and Gao Kegong, who was killed, hugged his head and ran away, but what about us? We were killed by Li Peifu, and we didn't let Shi Luosheng take responsibility at this time, should we bear it ourselves? You must know that if you lose the battle this time, you will never think about getting involved in military power again in the future, and you will never think about competing with the eldest prince and the crown prince for the throne. ”

Xiao Yu still couldn't accept the fact that Shi Luosheng was dead, and said coldly: "Taiwei, are you really all for me?" Isn't there a point for yourself? ”

Xiao Yu's words made the atmosphere in the room awkward all of a sudden, Tian Yulong stared at Xiao Yu with anger on his face and did not speak, and Xiao Yu also looked at Tian Yulong coldly. The two were originally a firm alliance, Tian Yulong supported Xiao Yu in his bid for the throne, and Xiao Yu would also give Tian Yulong a rich reward after his success. But the defeat of this war against Qin meant that Xiao Yu would be completely disqualified from competing for the crown prince, and Tian Yulong would also be held accountable for his poor command, the common interests pursued by the two no longer existed, and a huge rift appeared in the alliance relationship at this moment.

"Report, Wan Hailong has launched a general attack, General Dai asked his subordinates to tell His Highness and Lord Taiwei that Cangwu City is about to be unable to hold it, so let the two of them hurry to the south gate and prepare to abandon the city and break out." A voice broke the silence in the room.

Tian Yulong calmed down and said to Xiao Yu: "Shi Luosheng is dead, there is no point in discussing this anymore, Cangwu can't hold it, you can't be a prisoner as the second prince of the Great Song Dynasty, we have to kill it." ”

Dai Tuo selected two soldiers with a similar figure to Tian Yulong and Xiao Yu from the army, changed into the clothes of the two, and killed them from the West Gate.

Wan Hailong saw from a distance that the three of them were about to break through from the West Gate, and hurriedly transferred all the troops to the West Gate. At this time, Tian Yulong and Xiao Yu quietly escaped from the south gate under the leadership of a deputy general.

Wan Hailong, who originally wanted to capture Xiao Yu and Tian Yulong alive, was already mad and scolded: "Dai Tuo, you actually played with me to tune the tiger away from the mountain, I must break your body into ten thousand pieces." ”

Dai Tuo looked around and saw that he was the only one left, and said with a smile: "Wan Hailong, the second prince and Taiwei Tian have already gone away, and it is too late for you to chase after you now." As for me, hehe, it's impossible for you to capture me alive. After saying that, he drew his sword and killed himself.

Although each is its own master, Dai Tuo's last loyal act also made Wan Hailong admire it in his heart. Wan Hailong jumped off his horse and gave a military salute to Dai Tuo's corpse, ordered his subordinates to bury him, and at the same time reported to Li Peifu that Cangwu City had been taken and invited him to come here.

Before his death, Dai Tuo still left 5,000 people for Xiao Yu and Tian Yulong, and the two fled all the way to Cangyi County before stopping, wanting to build a second line of defense here while waiting for reinforcements from the imperial court.
