Under the leadership of these people, the defeated soldiers gradually retreated, Yang Lian didn't know what they said to the soldiers, it didn't matter, the important thing was that they retreated. Yang Lian was still riding on the standing horse, and slowly approached the city, he was alone, and Wei Kuangfu didn't feel much of a threat, but he didn't understand the scene that happened just now.

"Yang Lian, the general of the Shenwu Army, Marquis Yu, came to ask to see the assassin on the orders of Deputy Envoy Li and Gao Tongjun." Yang Lian shouted.

Wei Kuangfu's heart moved, and asked, "Yang General Yu Hou, Deputy Envoy Li is okay?" ”

"Vice Li makes everything well." Yang Lian looked at the city and said with a smile: "Don't you want me to go in?" ”

Wei Kuangfu patted his head and said with a smile: "Look at my fool." So saying, he commanded the soldiers, "Quickly, open the gates." ”

The city gate opened, the suspension bridge was also lowered, and Yang Lian rode his horse in, at this time, the dust rolled up from the rear, and the sound of horses' hooves was quite amazing. Wei Kuangfu was startled, did anyone come to attack Changzhou again? We have to close the gates quickly.

Yang Lian looked back and said busily: "Don't panic when you stab history, it's Chen Keyan." ”

"Chen Keyan?" Wei Kuangfu was stunned for a moment, and said, "I said that he went there, and it turned out that he was with General Yang." "Between the words, there was a change. Although the Tang army was defeated, Yang Lian made a meritorious contribution and returned to Jinling, His Majesty will inevitably be rewarded, and maybe he will be given a command or even a higher official position.

Yang Lian said with a smile: "The history of the assassination has tormented me, I am just a small general Yu Hou, where can I be called a general." ”

"Today is not a general, tomorrow is a general. General Yang is anxious for justice and righteousness, and this time he solved a problem for the people of Changzhou, and he thanked the general here. He said, giving a sincere salute.

Yang Lian nodded and said, "It's all thanks to Your Majesty Hongfu." ”

Wei Kuangfu was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and said, "Yes, it is Your Majesty Hongfu." ”

While the two were talking, Chen Keyan led his troops to rush over, and when he saw Yang Lian, he breathed a sigh of relief. First of all, he gave a salute to the Wei Kuang Fu: "The history of the thorn." He looked at Yang Lian again and said, "What's the matter with the defeated soldiers?" ”

"Someone was secretly causing trouble, and the man killed himself, leaving no clues. However, I suspect that it may be the Wu Yue people who are making trouble from it. Yang Lian said.

He stroked his beard and said, "It's really possible. Although there have been no major conflicts on the border between the two countries in recent years, all kinds of small actions are continuous, and Qian Wenfeng has been able to guard Suzhou for so many years, and he is by no means a person who has lost his name.

Yang Lian arched his hand and said, "Assassin Shi, just now in order to appease the defeated soldiers, I promised that Changzhou City would provide enough food and tents, which needs to depend on the Assassin History." ”

Wei Kuangfu thought for a while, and said: "Although the imperial court has its own arrangements and needs to be reported, but at this time, it is extraordinary, so I will make the decision and first take out 3,000 stone of grain and 1,000 tents from the Changzhou treasury." More, it takes a little time. ”

Yang Lian calculated, the defeated soldiers should not exceed six thousand, and these grains were enough for everyone to eat for a while, and he was busy at the moment: "Thank you for the assassination." ”

"General Yang is polite, I am prepared. Send another five hundred soldiers after you. As he spoke, he turned around and made arrangements.

The efficiency of the Kuangfu was very fast, and in less than an hour, the food and tents were all loaded into the car, and the Kuangfu asked Chen Keyan to follow Yang Lian to deliver the food and tents. Just walked out of the city gate, not far away, Lin Renzhao and Chen Tie escorted Li Zhenggu, Gao Shensi, and Zhu Kuangye.

Yang Lian hurriedly went up, saluted the three of them, and said, "Deputy Envoy Li, Gao Tongjun, Zhu Tongjun." ”

Gao Shensi narrowed his eyes, looked at him, and said with a reluctant smile: "Yang Lian, you seem to be reckless, but in fact, you have been prepared for a long time, and this matter is very beautiful." ”

Li Zhenggu breathed a sigh of relief, he originally thought that the defeat of the army and the rebellion were almost ironclad, but he didn't expect to be resolved by Yang Lian, and everyone was able to enter Changzhou calmly, even if His Majesty wanted to punish him in the future, the responsibility would not be so great. I couldn't help but look at Yang Lian again, thinking that this person with the same name as the old prince of the previous dynasty actually had some ability, so he arched his hand at the moment, and unexpectedly saluted Yang Lian, and said: "Yang Lian, you have made a great contribution this time, I will definitely report to Your Majesty." ”

Wei Kuangfu was behind Yang Lian and said with a smile: "Originally, the army was besieging the city, and I have already asked people to quickly report to Your Majesty. Now that the rout has retreated, I have already asked people to tell Your Majesty such good news. ”

Li Zhenggu snorted a little dissatisfied, the movement of this Kuang Fu was too fast, but it had become an established fact, and Li Zhenggu was helpless.

Yang Lian briefly told the matter, Zhu Kuangye looked at Yang Lian, his eyes couldn't help but light up, this person is too bold, and judging from his description, it seems that he already has doubts about the defeat of the army, so he risked his life and captured the person who fanned the flames alone. Whatever he thought at the time, at least the goal was achieved. Zhu Kuangye pursed his lips, thinking of his conflict with Chen Decheng and Lei Zhen, and suddenly felt that this person was a little different.

Yang Lian bowed and said, "Deputy Envoy Li, this is not the time to speak at this time, please enter Changzhou first, arrange to stay, and then let the doctor check it." I'm going to go to the army, but I don't want them to have any more thoughts. ”

Although Zhu Kuangye was tired, he was slightly injured, and when he heard this, he hurriedly said: "Yang General Yuhou, let me accompany you in this line, no matter what, I am always the commander of the Tianxiong Army." ”

Gao Shensi nodded and said, "That's fine." As he spoke, he took out a token from his arms, handed it to Yang Lian, and said, "The future is long, this token may be a little useful." ”

Yang Lian took it and saw that it was the token of the Shenwu Army, and he hurriedly thanked him. Seeing Li Zhenggu and Gao Shensi enter Changzhou City, Yang Lian patted his horse and walked towards the north of the city. Behind him, 500 soldiers were fully armed, and temporarily hired men pushed small carts and rushed to the garrison camp.

Zhu Kuangye followed behind, wanting to talk to Yang Lian, but he didn't know where to start, after all, a few days ago, he was very dissatisfied with Yang Lian, but now, Yang Lian can be regarded as saving his life, which makes him feel very complicated.

The defeated army retreated to a place ten miles outside the city of Changzhou, where it was a flat land, which was very suitable for camping. Although the army has just been defeated, it is a forbidden army after all, and there is still a certain amount of discipline, especially after Yang Lian promised food, several commanders who were lucky enough to not die were organized, and the Tianxiong Army and the Shenwu Army each divided a piece of territory, and they were all stationed on the spot according to the command. If the commander dies in battle, he will be temporarily replaced by the head of the capital, and if the head of the capital dies in battle, he will be temporarily replaced by the marquis of Yu, and if the marquis of Yu is killed in battle, he will be temporarily replaced by a person of high moral integrity.

Seeing this scene, Yang Lian narrowed his eyes, this is the quality that a soldier of the forbidden army should have, some time ago, in addition to the anxiety after the defeat and panic, there were also people fanning the flames, which caused this consequence, but fortunately, it was seen through in time and did not cause a catastrophe.

As soon as Yang Lian appeared, a sharp-eyed soldier saw that a person who looked like a commander ran over, and when he saw Zhu Kuangye, he hurriedly saluted and said: "The lowly Wang Chenghai has seen the unified army. ”

"The king commands the disrespectful." Zhu Kuangye said, glanced at the soldiers, sighed, and said, "How many brothers are there?" ”

"It's still counting, but the loss should be more than 30%." Wang Chenghai said.

Zhu Kuangye shook his head slightly, Sancheng, this amount is already a lot. Zhu Kuangye followed Wang Chenghai to comfort the soldiers of the Tianxiong Army, and Yang Lian also went to the Shenwu Army's garrison with food and tents.

Yang Lian told everyone about Gao Xiansi's situation, and when he heard that Gao Xiansi was not dead, some people were happy, and some people were silent. This battle is really lost, which is unwilling.

When Yang Lian was chatting with Yao Feng and Li Ping, the food had been unloaded from the cart, and the hungry soldiers immediately buried the pot to cook. In addition to giving 3,000 stone of grain, he also let people drive more than a dozen sheep, kill and slaughter them, and wash them, and in less than half an hour, the camp in the garrison was filled with fragrance.

Yang Lian was also hungry, so he had a meal with everyone, and he secretly told Yao Feng and Li Ping that this time the defeated army rebelled, and someone fanned the flames, and it was almost certain that Wu Yue people were obstructing it. Although everyone has settled down now, I am afraid that the bad intentions of Wu Yue people will not die, and they must be careful.

Yao Feng and Li Ping nodded one after another, saying that they would always pay attention to it and not let Wu Yueren succeed. After waiting for another half an hour, it was getting dark, and the specific number of each battalion was also reported, the Shenwu Army and the Tianxiong Army lost thirty percent of their troops, and Yang Lian's command made Zhou Hongzuo's whereabouts unknown, and he didn't know whether he died in battle or went elsewhere. The commanders of the other few killed two and seriously wounded one, and the Shenwu army suffered a lot of losses from top to bottom. The Tianxiong Army is similar, but their commander Zhu Kuangye is not in a big problem, as long as the number is replenished, it will be a majestic Tianxiong Army again.

And the Shenwu Army Gao Zhensi was injured and half of his arm was gone, and he may have to return to his hometown from now on. I don't know who will do this position as the commander of the Shenwu Army in the future. After chatting for a while, Yang Lian asked everyone to load the seriously injured soldiers who needed special treatment into the cart, and prepared to bring them back to the city to arrange for people to be properly treated.

Back in Changzhou, under the treatment of the doctor, Gao Shensi has changed to good herbal medicine, and his life is saved, but his arm is gone, which is also a blessing in misfortune.

Yang Lian was also sleepy, and his body had reached his limit, so he returned to the room prepared for him by Wei Kuangfu and fell asleep. I don't know how long he slept this night, but when he woke up, he felt very hungry. As soon as I got up, I found that the dirty clothes on my body had been changed and my body had been wiped. I think I was asleep and was cleaned. Yang Lian shook his head, thinking to himself that this first time was gone?

Walking out of the door, there were two soldiers at the door, who were dozing off with their heads down, Yang Lian just walked out, woke up alone, saw that it was Yang Lian, and said busily: "Jiang Yuhou, you finally woke up?" ”

Yang Lian looked at the sky, the sky was full of stars, and couldn't help asking, "When is it?" ”

The soldier replied, "It's ugly." ”

"Just slept like that?" Yang Lian was stunned.

"For a while, Marquis Yu slept for a day and a night. But I was anxious about the history of thorns, and I found a few doctors to come and see, and they all said that Marquis Yu was overworked, and it would be good to sleep. The soldier said.

"I see." Yang Lian smiled bitterly, he couldn't imagine that he had slept for so long, and said, "I'm hungry, do I have anything to eat?" ”

"Yes, the history of the assassination has made the subordinates always prepared." The soldier said, asked Yang Lian to wait for a while, and hurried away.
