On the edge of the forest about 100 miles in Vang Vieng County, a fat hare came from the bushes, jumped through the grass, and finally stopped next to a green grass, pricked up its ears to listen carefully to the movement in the forest, and after confirming that there was no danger, it quickly nibbled on the tender grass beside its mouth.

The hare ate happily, but did not see that not far to its left, a pair of green eyes were already staring at it, and a large mouth showing two canine teeth under the eyes was drooling, and the owner of the eyes and the big mouth belonged to a gray wolf weighing dozens of pounds, and this gray ruthless was slowly approaching the hare under the cover of the bushes.

Just as the gray wolf was about to leap up and pounce on the hare, the ears of the two animals were strengthened at the same time, and the hare quickly burrowed into the bushes, and the gray wolf glanced at the bushes where the hare had disappeared with reluctant eyes, and also put away his tail, and turned away.

There was a rustling sound in the dense forest in the distance, and dozens of ragged men stumbled into shape, all of them carrying single knives and bows and arrows, and their bodies still smelled of blood, no wonder both hare and gray wolf turned around and left.

It was a dense jungle with few pedestrians, and the people who walked in front of the group sometimes had to use a single knife to open the way and cut down the bushes that stood in front of them, which was a very physically demanding labor, and the people in front had to exchange after a short while, and when the people stepped out of the jungle and saw the bright sky outside, many of them were tired and sat on the grass.

"Get up, get up." The leader was furious and kicked his foot at the man who was sitting on the ground

"My lord, let's take a break. We have been in the mountains for two days. It's just too tiring. One of the kicked men pleaded.

The leader stopped, seeing that everyone was really unable to hurry anymore, so he reluctantly said, "Okay." After resting for half an hour, we must rush immediately, we must pass the news that Yuwen has come to Vang Vieng and the valley has been lost to His Highness as soon as possible, otherwise if His Highness makes a mistake, we will not be able to escape the guilt of death. ”

These people are Yang Shi and others, two thousand rebels in the valley of Wanrong County. Two days ago, Yang Shi suddenly found that several cavalry came to the valley, and when he came into contact with him, he realized that Yuwen himself was there, and the two sides immediately fought, and in terms of numbers, Yang Shi still had more than a hundred people, but Yang Shidi's people and horses were all government soldiers with little experience, and Yuwen's team were all experienced in a hundred battles. At the beginning of the battle, it was one-sided, and after a short time, the government soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and some government soldiers simply dropped their weapons and begged for mercy.

Yang Shi was helpless. I had to give up guarding the valley and withdraw from the back mountain with the rest of the people. was chased and killed by Yuwen again, and in the end, there were only about 20 people left around Yang Shi, all of whom were the original guards around the prince, and as for the hundreds of soldiers, the whole army was wiped out.

……

Yang Yong took the guards to temporarily live in the nearest county county, Zhang Xu, Liang Shiyan, Yuwencheng and others rebelled, as well as Yuwen, Zhang Bin, Yuan Kai and others can be involved in the news, Yang Yong has sent a fast horse to the court, Wanrong County Yan, Fan two imperial historians were also raided, their home is in Wanrong, and Yuwen made a good deal, although there is no evidence that they participated in the rebellion for the time being, but they can't get rid of suspicion, and the position of the imperial history must not be done.

Yang County Ling Ji Dun these days can be said to be a mixed blessing, happy nature in this encirclement and suppression of Liang Shiyan action, he has a lot of credit, and was praised by the prince himself, the worry is that the county soldiers have too many casualties, and they urgently need a large sum of money to pay for compensation, but the final place to encircle and suppress Liang Shiyan is near Yang County, and the material replenishment of soldiers and horses from all walks of life will come from Yang County, and soon the county treasury that is not rich will be taken out, although now the government soldiers in each county are being repatriated one after another, It's just that in the future, where will he come up with the money to pay the bereavement benefits to the wounded and wounded soldiers?

If there is no pension, the soldiers in the county are gathered at present, and no one dares to make trouble, if the prince leaves, the other soldiers are also disbanded, and the families of the dead and injured make trouble, so how can it be good?

On this day, when the county magistrate was thinking about whether he was looking for an opportunity to tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince whether he could allocate money and property from the court to compensate the families of the dead and wounded soldiers or reduce the money and food of the dead and wounded soldiers for several years, a government soldier hurriedly walked into the county government and shouted: "My lord, it's not good, it's the opposite, it's the opposite." ”

Ji Dun was taken aback when he heard this, and grabbed the government soldier: "The prince is here, who dares to rebel?" They don't want to die. He never forgot the families of the hundreds of casualties, and thought that the families of those soldiers would dare to make trouble.

"Shangdang County, Shangdang County

On the contrary, Yuwen's army has occupied Hedong Mansion, and the entire Hedong Mansion has fallen into Yuwen's hands, and now he is leading tens of thousands of horses to press over to the sun. ”

"What, tens of thousands of horses?" Ji Dun was frightened, all the men and horses in Hedong County were gathered more than 10,000 people, and the regular army of Yuwen's Hussar General's Mansion was only 500 people, where did the tens of thousands come from, wouldn't that Yang be also very dangerous.

He was stunned for a while before he remembered to inform the prince, but when he walked to the place where Yang Yong lived, he found that the prince had already known the news, Li Shun of Fenzhou Rashi, Lingquan of Linjin County, and Lu Mulin, Duan Da, Qu Tutong and other generals beside the prince were all present, but he was the latest to come to the county order.

Ji Dun secretly complained, Yuwen was the opposite, the prince was sending people to recover the demobilized army, even if there was nothing to do in Yangyang, it was really unable to support more than 10,000 troops. It's just that the prince and everyone are thinking about how to deal with Yuwen's army, but he can't say anything, so he has to stand aside quietly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Yuwen rebelled, how should I deal with it?"

—

"Back to His Royal Highness, I didn't lead the people of my headquarters to meet Yuwen." It was Li Shun of Fenzhou who asked for the order, he heard that the prince was surrounded, and he was almost half frightened to death, but he hurriedly led the army to arrive, Liang Shiyan had already run, and it was easy to hear that Liang Shiyan was surrounded, and when he led the army to rush to the front, Liang Shiyan actually took the initiative to surrender, and his two thousand men and horses did not even move the sword soldiers, and naturally there was no merit, and now when he heard Yuwen's rebellion, he suddenly thought that the time for meritorious service had come, and he couldn't wait to ask for his life.

"Li Aiqing, Tanma returns, Yuwen has tens of thousands of horses, can you be sure of victory?"

"Your Highness, rest assured, the so-called tens of thousands of horses are most of the exaggerated words of anti-thieves, even if there are really tens of thousands of horses, it is just Yuwen driving good people, why be afraid?"

Li Shun replied with a big grin, without putting Yuwen in his eyes at all, in his opinion, Yuwen can be regarded as elite at most 500 people in the headquarters, and the rest are at most full, although Hezhong County has sent elite soldiers, however, the elite government soldiers have been transferred here in advance, Yuwen wants to coerce tens of thousands of horses in a short time, I am afraid that most of them are old and weak.

Yang Yong knew that since Yuwen had taken Wanrong County, he would definitely rescue the two thousand elite soldiers in the valley, and if Shangdang County had a secret arrangement, I am afraid that it would be possible for him to gather five thousand elite soldiers below.

Yang Yong shook his head: "Li Aiqing doesn't know, Yuwen's rebellion was premeditated, and he secretly accumulated troops, not all of them were to drive the good into the coward, so don't be careless." ”

At present, Li Shun's 2,000 men and horses are the most elite and unified, and if these 2,000 people are lost, although there are still seven or eight thousand soldiers, it will not help, and Hedong County will fall completely. Yang Yong couldn't take these 2,000 people to take risks.

Hearing this, Li Shun stopped talking, and the Linjin County Commander said tremblingly: "The thieves are huge, why don't Your Highness issue an edict ordering the people of the nearby states to encircle and suppress Yuwen." ”

"Well, the palace has issued edicts to Bingzhou, Rongzhou, Jianzhou, and the city, ordering them to send troops quickly, but the distant water does not quench the thirst of the near, and now Yuwen is approaching Yangyang, let's talk about how to deal with Yuwen's offensive first."

"Your Highness, Weichen has something to say." Giton gritted his teeth and stood up.

"It turned out to be a county order, please tell me if you have something."

"Weichen thinks it's better to abandon the city." Gilton said it tremblingly.

"Abandon the city?" As soon as Ji Dun's words were finished, everyone immediately thought that Ji Dun was crazy, and they buzzed about it, the officials have the responsibility to defend the land, and Ji Dun, as the county magistrate, said this in front of the prince, so he didn't want to die.

"Oh? Tell us your reasoning? Yang Yong was not as angry as others expected, the so-called strategic shift Yang Yong has seen a lot in later generations, and naturally he will not be pushed out and beheaded because Ji Dun said that he would abandon the city.

Ji Dun saw that he had spoken, so he simply let it go, and spoke a lot more neatly: "Your Highness, the small walls of Yangcheng are low, and they can't accommodate many people and horses at all, and most of the 10,000 troops must be stationed outside the city, if Yuwen's men and horses arrive, these people have no protection at all, and it is easy to be divided and surrounded by Yuwen, and then save or not, if you save it, it is possible that all the horses will fall into it, if you don't save it, once the army outside is wiped out by Yuwen, it will not be able to hold it at all, not to mention that the treasury of Yangcheng is empty, and it will be a few days, The army is about to starve. ”
