"Pavilion Master, a group of people have come down the mountain, claiming to be the representatives of the Thirteen Roads Anti-King, and they want to meet you, Pavilion Master!"

Liu Zhi put down the book in his hand, picked up the pen and took out a note, wrote a few words on it, and then put it into a cyan bag, put it in the tray on the side, and said to the attendant: "You go out and give this bag to them, just say that I already know their intentions, and the content of this bag is that they want to know the answer to the question, but you also have to tell them that they owe me this favor in Langya Pavilion, and they will pay it back in the future!" ”

The attendant picked up the tray and went, Liu Zhi picked up the book on the table again, and began to read it seriously. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

After getting the clever plan of the Langya Pavilion Lord, the Thirteen Roads Anti-King no longer attacked the Sui army, and they also set up a large camp not far from the Sui army camp, practicing battle formations and tactics day and night, and posing as if they were going to attack at any time.

In this way, the Sui army was a little confused, and the Sui army was divided into two factions, one was the Xiaoguo army mastered by Yu Wenshu, and the other was the Hedong army led by Pei Renji.

The canal is divided into two sides, one east and one west, in order to protect the safety of the dragon boat, the Sui army divided the army into two, the east side is Yuwenshu's Xiaoguo army, the west is Pei Renji's Hedong army, in which Pei Renji's number is far less than Yuwenshu's army, and the quality and equipment of the soldiers of the Hedong army are not as good as the Xiaoguo army, so the Sui army is strong in the east and weak in the west, the Sui army in the east has a strong offensive ability, and the Sui army in the west only has the power of self-protection, no ability to attack.

And the Thirteenth Road Anti-King observed this weakness of the Sui army at the beginning, so he transferred the main force to the west, leaving only a small number of suspicious soldiers in the east to confuse the Sui army, and the internal disputes within the Sui army were not small, Yuwenshu was unwilling to send troops to help Pei Renji defend, and Yang Guang did not want to switch positions between the Xiaoguo army and the Hedong army, so he put a weak army on his flank, let him protect his own safety, so that the Sui army lost the ability to take the initiative to fight, due to insufficient troops, The Sui army in Hexi had no way to take the initiative to launch an attack on the Thirteenth Route Anti-King.

Pei Renji has been feeling very strange these days, the thirteen anti-kings obviously have a great advantage in strength relative to themselves, but they neither attack nor want to retreat, the Sui army is following the dragon boat fleet to advance, and this fleet has to rely on the pull of 50,000 slender men, so it can only travel about twenty or thirty miles a day, so the Sui army basically set up a large camp for twenty or thirty miles, protecting the flank of the fleet at any time, and the anti-king army actually maintained a pace, and the Sui army camped They also camped, and continued to practice after campingThe shouts of killing in the army could be heard for miles away, but they were not seen.

For three days in a row, the anti-king army was like this, and according to the spies, they were still building siege equipment, and it seemed that they wanted to attack the camp of the Sui army? This made Pei Renji a little worried, and he also sent people to quickly build the city defense equipment, and also made a large number of rejecting horses, and put these things outside the camp every time he set up camp to prevent the enemy from sneaking up at night.

Pei Renji already smelled the slightest hint of conspiracy, the enemy army did not move for three days, it seemed that he was preparing to attack, but he found a strange phenomenon, in the past, the anti-king army was five sentinels a day, at least five waves of sentinels would be dispatched to inquire about intelligence, and they would even venture close to test the reaction of the Sui army, and test where the Sui army's defense was flawed and where the defense was very tight.

In the past few days, there were only three waves of patrols sent by the anti-king army left in one day, and these sentries did not dare to approach, but they just looked at the camp of the Sui army from a distance, and there were no tentative movements.

The so-called abnormality is a demon, the anti-king army obviously has a numerical advantage, and it looks like it is about to attack, why are they still so cautious? What's so strange here?

Pei Renji thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't figure it out, but he was cautious, such a thing seemed inconspicuous, but if there was really a conspiracy in it, it might be related to the whole game, the so-called bad move, losing the whole game, he didn't want to lose in this move.

It can be seen from the abnormal behavior of the anti-king army that the army in their camp should have left, and the remaining army is just deliberately pretending to be a large army by their side.

And when the army leaves, they will definitely have a goal, and where will this goal be?

Pei Renji stared at the map for a long time, and marked several locations on the map, Shanyang, Lianshui, Anyi, Gaoyou and Jiangdu, their positions at this time have left Shanyang and are rushing to the direction of Gaoyou, and there is only one Anyi County in the middle, although this Anyi County is a fulcrum along the way, but it is not on the side of the canal, because it is not important, so the only important places are Shanyang, Gaoyou and Jiangdu.

Jiangdu is Yangzhou, Shanyang They have left, the importance at this time is not great, the other party will not use troops here, and Gaoyou has been taken by the Sui army not long ago, and there is no news coming these days, so it is speculated that only Jiangdu is left in the remaining places.

Pei Renji was taken aback by his speculation, the defenders of Jiangdu were only 20,000 people, more than half of them were recruits, and it seemed that Jiangdu had really not sent back news for several days, was it really captured by the anti-kings?

Thinking of this, Pei Renji was frightened into a cold sweat, he hurriedly boarded the dragon boat and reported the news to Emperor Yang, Yang Guang didn't believe it after hearing it, Yangzhou City was well defended, and there were 20,000 troops, even if it was attacked, there was no problem at all in resisting it for ten days and half a month, and they didn't receive news from Yangzhou, so this was just a speculation by Pei Renji!

Although Emperor Yang of Sui didn't believe it, it didn't mean that he didn't pay attention to it, the destination of his trip was Yangzhou, if something happened to Yangzhou, then his men and horses would be trapped on the canal and couldn't move.

After thinking of this layer, Emperor Yang immediately sent an order, let people rush to Yangzhou, to see the situation in Yangzhou, just in case, he also ordered Yuwen Chengdu to lead 30,000 Xiaoguo troops to immediately set off to reinforce, if Yangzhou is fine, it is the best, and once Yangzhou has something, the Sui army will attack with all its strength, repel the attacking anti-king army or recapture Yangzhou City from their hands!

At this time, the Song Hao Department stationed in Yangzhou City has found itself surrounded by enemy troops, and the anti-king army has suddenly sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and they have surrounded Yangzhou City, not only cutting off Yangzhou from the outside world by land, but also by water, Yangzhou has become a lonely city!
