Wang Junke is also an arrogant lord, he snorted coldly and said, "Yes, it is your master Wang, who are you?" Even if I know my name, I will not get off my horse and receive it. ”

Baye Gang laughed and said, "Wang Xuan, others are afraid of you, but I, Baye Gang, have never put you in my eyes. Hugh go, eat me with a knife! After saying that, he grabbed the war horse between his feet, rushed up, and raised his knife to cut it off on his head.

Wang Jun was not in a hurry, and the Qinglong Glaive Knife in his hand swept upwards to frame his big sword. "Dang", the two of them collided hard and tried each other's level; Du secretly frowned and said, "This guy has a lot of strength." ”

Wang Junke snorted coldly and drew his knife to change the style; The green dragon knife in his hand danced like a green cloud, flying up and down, and the knife did not leave Ba Yegang's neck.

Ba Ye screamed violently, and the big knife was like a thunderbolt, slashing at Wang Junke's top door.

The two fought evenly, and they fought for forty or fifty rounds without a win; However, in the end, Wang Jun was clever and slowly gained the upper hand. Ba Ye was cowardly and knew that he couldn't win against Wang Junke, so he had to turn his horse and run. Wang Jun can chase after him.

Baye Gang secretly sneered, suddenly turned around, and shouted: "Go! "Whoosh!" A sharp arrow went straight to Wang Junke.

Wang Jun was shocked, and hurriedly separated the sharp arrow with the big knife in his hand; Then a horse was not chasing. It was also Baye who was unlucky, he only cared about shooting Wang Junke, and did not pay attention to his feet, and the war horse stumbled and fell to the ground with a plop; He was thrown a few feet away and fell unconscious.

Wang Junke laughed when he saw it, and the flying horse stepped forward and took the life of Ba Yegang. When Zheng Jun saw that the generals had been killed, he ran to the city with a hula. Wang Jun could not miss the opportunity, and the big knife chased after him in one fell swoop.

The soldiers in the city couldn't close the city gate if they wanted to, and no one restrained them anyway, so they all turned around and fled. Wang Junke successfully took Yuyuan County.

The news of the capture of Yuyuan County was spread to Luokou along with the rout; When Wei Yin, the general of Luokou, heard this, he was afraid that Wang Shichong would blame him, so he hurriedly led an army of 20,000 to the rescue.

Yuyuan Mountain, the mountain road is dangerous, the twelve winding roads, nearly returning, so it is said: Yuyuan. To get from Luokou to Yuyuan County, you must pass through Yuyuankou. Legend has it that the mouth of the Yuan Yuan was chiseled by Yu in ancient times, and the terrain here is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Wang Junke seized Yuyuan County and did not stay in the county for long, so he led the army to Yuyuankou.

As soon as Wei Yin led the army to Yuyuankou, he was ambushed by Wang Junke. For a time, arrows fell like rain on the top of the mountain, and boulders were like thunder, killing Zheng Jun with heavy casualties.

Wei Yin was commanding the troops to resist with Fang Tianhalberd in his hand; Suddenly, I saw a person rushing down the hillside. This person's face is like a heavy jujube, with a beautiful beard and a hanging chest, a green dragon knife in his palm, a jujube red horse in his crotch, and a master's dragon helmet and gold chain mail; Covered with a parrot green robe, it seems that Guan Yunchang has been reborn.

Wei Yin had just been stunned, and Wang Junke had already arrived in front of his horse; The broadsword in his hand was raised sharply, and his shoulder was slashed down.

Wei Yin was too late to hide, and was split into two pieces by Wang Junke with a scream; Blood spurted wildly, and all the internal organs flowed out.

Zheng Jun saw that he was even more chaotic, and he screamed and fled in all directions. Wang Junke snorted coldly and led the army to chase and kill along the road, killing countless enemies. After killing Wei Yin's army, they continued to march east into the city.

Huang Junhan went straight to Luokou with the remaining 5,000 people. In the middle of the night, three watches; They were dressed in tatters, claiming to be Heyang's army, and came to Luokou in a panic.

Wei Yin took away 20,000 troops at once, and now Luokou's military strength is tight. When the adjutant general Zhu Fu heard that his army had arrived, he hurriedly went to the city gate to check.

The army outside was so miserable, with crooked helmets and disheveled clothes; It's like begging along the street. Wang Biao, the deputy general of Heyang, who had already surrendered, stepped forward and shouted: "Is General Wei here?" I am Wang Biao, the deputy general of Heyang, and I have come to ask to see General Wei, please pass it on my behalf. ”

Zhu Fu didn't know Wang Biao, so he turned his head and asked the soldiers next to him, and someone had already recognized him and said: "General Zhu, this person is Wang Biao, but General Wei is very favorable." ”

Only then did Zhu Fu breathe a sigh of relief, and ordered someone to open the gate of Luokou City, and he himself went out of the city to greet him. As soon as he arrived at the city gate, he saw Wang Biao rushing over with people.

"Welcome General Wang." As soon as Zhu Fu said a word, he suddenly found that Wang Biao's face was wrong. Just when he was wondering, a big man came out behind Wang Biao. This person raised the big knife in his hand, and he slashed it down, slashing Zhu Fu, who was caught off guard, under the horse.

Wang Biao's face was hideous, and he yelled: "Kill!" As he spoke, he rushed forward, and the steel gun shook and stabbed several Zheng soldiers to death one after another.

"Oh no! Wang Biao rebelled, and General Zhu died! Run, everybody! With a shout of peace, Zheng Jun dispersed in a hurry. Huang Junhan successfully occupied Luokoucang.

After Huang Junhan occupied Luokou, he took advantage of the fact that the enemy had not yet reacted, opened the barrage in Luoshui and released the ships of the Great Demon Kingdom.

Huang Junhan gave an order and told the surrounding people that whoever could load as much grain as he could put into the boat could share as much grain as he could. So Luokou was full of people, and the surrounding people came to help carry the grain.

Even so, it took ten days for the grain in Luokoucang to be transported. The people everywhere got the food and left happily; The grain and grass that Wang Shichong has collected in recent years are gone.

Wang Junke's army came to Guancheng, and the news that he had killed Luo Hai, Baye Gang, and Wei Yin had already arrived; In addition, the news that Luokou was breached, and the grain and grass were looted by the Tang army also came.

Now there is a mourning in Henan, and everyone is not optimistic about Zheng Guo, thinking that it will be destroyed in the near future.

Guo Qing, the county guard of Guancheng, heard that Wang Junke was leading a large army; Gather your generals to discuss how to resist. Guo Qing saw that the generals bowed their heads one by one and were silent, lifeless; He lamented and said: "Heaven wants to kill me, not because of war." I intend to surrender Kaejo and have a future; What do you think? ”

The generals' eyes lit up, they all raised their heads, hesitated for a moment, and one by one clasped their fists and arched their hands: "The last general is willing to obey the orders of the county guard!" ”

The next day, Guo Qing led his generals and colonels to go out of the city empty-handed; Surrender to Wang Junke. Wang Jun was overjoyed and came out to greet him in person, and then they entered the city hand in hand.

After Wang Shichong returned to Luoyang, he ordered all his elite soldiers to take Luoyang and prepare to defend the eastern capital. Most of the elite soldiers in more than a dozen prefectures and counties in Henan were removed by him at once, and the troops in the hands of those stationed generals were overstretched, and the rest were all old and weak soldiers, and they couldn't stop the attack of the Tang Dynasty in the west.

At this time, Wang Shichong no longer trusted generals with foreign surnames; He sent his three nephews, Wang Honglie, the king of Wei, to guard Xiangyang, Wang Xingben, the king of Jing, to guard the tiger prison, and Wang Tai, the king of Song, to guard Huaizhou.

The two elder brothers, Wang Shiyun, the king of Qi, were in charge of the southern city of Luoyang, Wang Shiwei, the king of Chu, guarded the treasure city of Luoyang, the crown prince Wang Xuanying guarded the tiger prison, Wang Xuanshu, the king of Han, guarded the city of Hanjia, and the king of Lu guarded the city of Yaoyi.

Wang Shichong personally commanded the combat army, Yang Gongqing, the general of the left auxiliary, commanded the cavalry of the 28th Prefecture of Zuo Longxiang, the right guerrilla general Guo Shancai commanded the infantry of the 28th Prefecture of the Inner Army, and the general of the hussars, Shan Xiongxin, commanded the infantry of the 28th Prefecture of the Foreign Army, totaling 150,000 people, to guard against the attack of the Tang Dynasty.

These children of their own family will not rebel, but they are also not skilled in military affairs, and they have differences with generals everywhere. These people relied on the fact that they were royal relatives, wantonly excluded dissidents, and whoever disobeyed would be called a rebel and did not raid their homes. The generals complained; Everyone is looking for another way.

First, in mid-September, Wang Shichong's Xianzhou governor Tian Zan led 25 states to surrender to the Tang Dynasty. Soon, Xiangyang, an important town in Shannan, was also cut off by the Tang army, and lost contact with Wang Shichong. On October 15, Wang Shichong's general, Zhang Zhenzhou, led his troops to join the Tang Dynasty.

At the end of October, Wang Shichong's governor of Guanzhou, Yang Qing, also surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and his wife, the daughter of Wang Shichong's brother, committed suicide by Yangyao. Then there were Rongzhou Assassin Shi Wei Lu, Yangcheng Ling Wang Xiong, and Bianzhou Assassin Wang Yaohan came to surrender successively.

On December 3, Wang Shichong's Xu and Bo and other eleven states surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. On December 13, Xu Yi, Wang Shichong's governor of Suizhou, dedicated the state city to the Tang Dynasty. Soon, Cheng Jiahui, the governor of Liangzhou, led his troops to surrender to the Tang Dynasty.

Wang Xuanying, the prince of Dazheng, was originally ordered to guard the tiger prison and led the army to be stationed between Song and Bian, and he saw that the surrounding states had annexed the Tang Dynasty, so he was very afraid and led the army back to Luoyang, the eastern capital.

Wang Shichong received the news that Daoluokou was attacked and all the grain and grass were robbed by the enemy, and sure enough, like Cheng Zhijie, he hit his head on the table with regret. He had to go out of the city to fight Li Shimin to the death, wanting to break the encirclement of the Tang Dynasty in one fell swoop.

Wang Shichong led an army of 50,000 to set up a formation in Qingcheng Palace in the south of the eastern capital, and Li Shimin saw the situation, so he led the army to set up a formation in the western suburbs of the eastern capital. The two armies marched mightily and approached both sides of the Luoshui River from opposite directions.

Wang Shichong was at the forefront of the whole army. "King Qin of the Tang Kingdom, listen!" He shouted to Li Shimin across the river, "After the fall of the Sui Dynasty, the Tang State was proclaimed emperor in Guanzhong, and the Zheng State was proclaimed emperor in Henan. ”

Li Shimin sent the hussar general Yu Wenshi and replaced him to reply: "Now that all the four seas have been attached to my Tang Dynasty, only you obstruct the prestige and education of my Tang Dynasty, and our army will come for this!" ”

"Wouldn't it be better for our two sides to make a truce and make peace!" Wang Shichong appealed.

Yu Wenshi relayed: "The King of Qin said that I came to destroy Luoyang on the order of the Tang Emperor. Zheng Guo will not be destroyed, and he will never quit the army. ”

Across Luoshui, the flags of both parties are fluttering, waiting for the other party to make the first move, and they will strike later; But neither of them wanted to take the initiative to cross the river and attack the other. They remained at a stalemate until the evening, when each side returned with their own troops.

The generals of the Tang army came up one after another to ask for battle, wanting to survive Luoshui and fight to the death with the enemy.
