Yang Chong read the information when he was in the Ministry of War, Feng Xiaoci, Lu Yu, Hou Mo Chen Yi were the three heroes under Li Jing's account that year, Feng Xiaoci and Lu Yu were brave and good at fighting, Hou Mo Chen Yi was good at strategy, and the 30,000 elite soldiers under the account of Yang Liang, the king of Han, could not defeat Li Jing's 5,000 people. Such a person has a kind of relationship of life and death, it is not surprising that Lu Yu and Feng Xiaoci are connected, Yang Chong thought for a while and asked: "Did Bai Yu explain, when he accepted the armor, the other party said what to do next?" ”

"Got it." Bai Litao was a little excited and said: "The weapon that Wei Chixiao went to pick up with was next to Bai Yu at that time, I heard it really well, Feng Xiaoci will go to Bai Thorn Yuan to meet Bai Yu early tomorrow morning, and he asked Bai Yu to send three or four hundred people to change into armor and stand by." General Xie thought that Bai Yu's subordinates were pretending to be us to do bad things and to frame us, so they were ready to kill Feng Xiaoci in one fell swoop, and they had already gathered the army. ”

Yang Chong turned around and asked Yang Yanwu, the person in charge of the farm: "What's the situation with Wuwei?" ”

Yang Yanwu is Yang Wu, when Tianqi began to lay out, according to Yang Chong's instructions, let Yang Yanwu go to Changsong County to buy land to live in, and specifically investigate the situation in Wuwei and Jincheng. Yang Yanwu replied: "Homecoming, Feng Xiaoci has already taken control of Wuwei County, but Yuan Hongsi seems to be only under house arrest, and the army and government have not made any big moves. However, dozens of people from the Hongnong Yang clan fled to Huining, led by Yang Qu, who found Gaobei and asked for war horses and weapons, saying how many they wanted. ”

It is an open secret that Gaobei carried out business in Huining, and Yang Chong muttered: "War horses and weapons, as many as you want, it shows that Yang Qu still has people in his hands, and is ready to carry out a big operation in Wuwei, the most likely is to rescue Yuan Hongsi, and then force Yuan Hongsi to rebel together." We have to help them, and when we finish eating, we will go to meet Xie Yingdeng, Yanwu, you send someone to send a message to Gao Bei, and ask him to ask Yang Qu to meet tomorrow night. ”

Xie Yingdeng, Ling Jing and others were overjoyed to see that Yang Chong was unhindered, and immediately arranged for the next day's events after complaining about their experiences, and laid a net around the White Thorn Plain. The white thorn plain is on the edge of the desert, on one side is the undulating sand dunes, vast, the sand is rolling, the scene is magnificent and magnificent; On the other side is the green wasteland, although there are no towering trees, but relying on the water system of the White Thorn Lake, white thorns and other plants are everywhere, the water and grass are luxuriant, and the wind blows, which is refreshing.

On the surface, the White Thorn Plain is an open terrain and is not a suitable place for ambushes, but this area is a place where the Turks often hang out, so there is room for operation. When Suo Yanshou rushed out of the desert with three thousand cavalry dressed as Turks, he still frightened Feng Xiaoci; Feng Xiaoci asked his two thousand horsemen to line up against the desert, and hurriedly waved the flag to ask Baiyu's horse thieves to approach and fight side by side, but was attacked by Wei Chixiao and Bai Litao from the side, and three hundred crossbows fired a salvo, knocking down half of the cavalry.

The remaining more than 1,000 horsemen followed Feng Xiaoci and wanted to retreat, but they were defeated by Suo Yanshou and others on both sides, and finally escaped westward from the deserted area, first ambushed by giant crossbows, and then Xie Yingdeng and Luo Shixin ambushed them. Feng Xiaoci is worthy of being a veteran general on the battlefield, holding a horse lance to rush left and right, and still commanding the army to break through when it is critical, but when the 3,000 cavalry behind him arrived, he was finally defeated, and died on the battlefield, and the 2,000 people in his department were wiped out.

Searching Feng Xiaoci's body, two letters were found, one was given to Feng Xiaoci by Wei Xuan, asking Feng Xiaoci to carefully inspect Longyou and Hexi, and make sure that Yang Chong could not return to Yiwu alive, and that the exiled Hongnong Yang people should also be killed; The other letter was written by Pei Ju from Qinghai, asking Feng Xiaoci to find someone to pretend to be Yang Chong's subordinates to burn and loot in Hexi, and after taking Yuan Honghei, he justifiably sent troops to Yiwu County, and attacked Yu Zhongwen's army from east to west, taking advantage of Yang Chong's whereabouts to be unknown, uprooting Yang Chong's forces.

Yang Chong smiled helplessly, those who can participate in the game are experts, they can design themselves, others can also design, Wei Xuan is only loyal to Emperor Yang Guang of Sui, Pei Ju is really a good opponent as written in the history books. Feng Xiaoci sought out Bai Yu to complete the task of the two, one pretending to be Yiwujun, and the other was to create an accident to kill the exiled prisoner; For the same reason, Feng Xiaoci did not burn the two letters, but carried them with him, because he wanted to keep them as evidence, so as not to take the blame after an accident in the future.

After reading the letter, Ling Jing secretly called it a fluke, turned around and seized the time to interrogate the prisoners, and learned that the talisman that Feng Xiaoci carried at any time was a talisman that could mobilize the troops of the ten counties in the west of the Longyou River, and immediately had an idea, suggesting that Yang Chong take advantage of the news to attack a city, and choose one of the three big cities of Jincheng, Wuwei, and Zhangye.

Yang Chong immediately said: "Zhangye." Wuwei is the base camp of Yuan Hongsi, taking Jincheng is equivalent to opening the way for Yuan Hongsi, Zhangye is in the right position, not too far from Yiwu, and Wuwei in the east to block the attack of Chang'an, which can buy us time. Bailitao, tie up all the captives and stay here, let them break the rope and escape, you take someone to send two hundred horses and those carts of equipment to Yang Qu, and then rush to Zhangye with Gaobei, and the others will set off immediately after resting, and pass through Wuwei at night. ”

Ling Jing turned his head to look, Xie Yingdeng had already commanded people to peel off two thousand sets of Mingguang armor and put them on, the Mingguang armor of the Longyou Army was to protect the head with a hood, and there were ear guards on both sides of the hood that rolled upward, and there were two pieces of breastplate on the left and right, with a longitudinal armor in the center, and a round guard on the left and right; The shoulders are covered with shawls, and the arms are covered with arm guards; Waist tie, there are two knee skirts under the belt to protect the thighs, and the calves are also wrapped with "hanging legs", the armor structure is very complete, and only a few troops such as Yuwen Chengdu can compare with Yang Chongjun.

Wuwei is now in chaos, the county fort began to close all the gates by the evening, there were no patrolling cavalry on the road at all, Yang Chong opened the way with two thousand cavalry who changed the Mingguang armor, and five thousand people passed through Wuwei County without paying attention at all. Tanma learned that Zhangye was too protective of the emperor Fu Juan, in order to respond to Feng Xiaoci, led 10,000 horse infantry troops to camp in Shandan County; After the army bypassed Shandan County, Yang Chong immediately asked Xie Yingdeng to lead two thousand modified soldiers to deceive Zhangye City, and he ambushed him halfway.

The defenders of Zhangye really hit the plan, and when they received the talisman, they opened the city gate, found that something was wrong, and immediately lit the fire for help; On the way back to Zhangye City, the 10,000 horses of Zhangye Taishou Huangfu were ambushed by 3,000 horsemen and killed. Huang Fu Huang collected 5,000 people to re-array, Luo Shixin rode out of the battle alone, and even picked up eleven generals under Huang Fu Juan, Suo Yanshou took advantage of the strong wind to blow, urging the army to follow the wind to attack, and ended the battle in less than an hour, Huang Fu Huang only led 300 horsemen to escape from the battlefield.

Seeing the banners waving above and below the city, Yang Chong breathed a sigh of relief, and Zhang Ye got it.
