Yuwentai soon received the news of the Shangdang war in Tongguan, but the situation was a little different, Er Zhuzhao was surrounded in Shangdang City and could not converge south, and according to the latest intelligence, Gao Huan's main force was still in Handan, so according to the previous agreement with Er Zhuzhao, he could now immediately send troops to attack Luoyang.

But he smelled something wrong, it stands to reason that most of Gao Huan's troops are currently in Handan, and there is no reason to take the initiative to attack the party's Er Zhu Zhao, could it be that Gao Huan's grandson is playing some tricks? He has fallen into his trap many times, and this time Yuwentai wants to solve Gao Huan at once, so he has to be cautious everywhere.

"Report to the General, our spies are back." The soldiers outside the door interrupted Yu Wentai's musings. His eyes lit up, and he secretly said in his heart: I'm finally back. Half a month ago, he scattered more than a dozen scout spies in disguise to enter Sizhou and other places, and he didn't hear back for a long time, originally thinking that they had all been arrested or killed, but now someone finally came back to report the news.

"Bring someone up, I'll take care of it myself." Yu Wentai concealed his excitement and told his men to withdraw, he wanted to meet the scout alone.

A short man with sharp-beaked monkey cheeks, dressed in tattered clothes and a beggar's head, was brought in, and when he saw Yuwentai, he bowed down and said, "Meet General Yuwen." ”

"Hurry up and talk, why are you dressed like this?" Yu Wentai was very curious about his dress, did he have to pretend to be a beggar to spy on intelligence? Something else can't work?

"Back to the general's words, the villain did it as a last resort. Recently, the Janissaries in Luoyang suddenly launched a carpet search for the surrounding area, and several of my brothers were arrested, and the villain could only disguise himself as a beggar to ask for food all the way back. Sure enough, he was loyal, and Yuwentai admired his wit very much.

"How's the situation in Luoyang?" Let's talk about the key point, this is what Yuwentai is most concerned about now.

The scout sat down and took a breath and said: "General Hui, now the forbidden army in Luoyang is moving frequently, as if there is some big move, all those who enter Luoyang from Hangu Pass to the east are strictly investigated, and the surrounding counties are also full of secret posts and sentry boxes, and the troops in the county are on guard. The scout took a sip and continued: "The brothers who came back from Xiangzhou all said that the main force of the Qi army in Handan seems to have withdrawn. ”

Yuwentai was taken aback when he heard this, Xie Sichun asked his cronies to tell him two days ago that Gao Huan's troops were in Handan, why did they disappear in a blink of an eye? This Xie Sichun what intelligence network. So Yuwentai stepped forward and said to the scout with a smile: "You have worked hard all the way, nothing major happened, right?" ”

The scout was a little flattered and said, "Thank you for the general's concern, the villain is safe all the way, and nothing big has happened." ”

"Hmph, you are a Gao Huan undercover agent, you dare to lie to me! Someone tied me up! Yuwentai turned his face faster than a book, and immediately outside the door, two guards and warriors stepped forward and knocked the scout to the ground.

The scout looked confused and hurriedly asked, "What do you mean, general?" The villain is wronged. ”

"Dare to say that you are wronged, do you think I don't know about you being bought by Gao Huan? If you don't recruit from the truth, why don't I let you taste the punishment of our prison? He looked at the scout with a sinister expression.

This kid is really scared now, the two of them were talking and laughing just now, why did this Yuwentai turn his face immediately, did he say something wrong? No, there will be no problem with the information that I have obtained through a lot of hard work. But how could Yu Wentai doubt himself? Did someone make a small report?

Seeing that the scout looked aggrieved, Yuwentai continued to probe, he pulled out his sword with a snort, put it on the scout's neck, and said coldly: "If you don't tell the truth, I will kill you with one sword!" ”

"What the villain said is true, general, you know it." The scouts were now about to die, and they looked at Yu Wentai in horror and fear, desperately trying to avoid the blade around their necks.

It doesn't look like acting. Is he really telling the truth? Yu Wentai thought to himself. This was originally to scam the scout to see if he was bribed by Gao Huan to spread false news. It seems to be true.

Yu Wentai then turned into a kind smile again, and said to the scout: "Since this is the case, I will believe you, take it down and rest well, and this general will reward you well later." The scout was dragged out by the two guards samurai, thinking to himself that this Yuwentai was really a psychopathic madman.

It's over, what is Gao Huan doing here, if his big army is really not in Handan, then where should he be at this time? What is his purpose? What ulterior plans does he have?

Generally speaking, only the darker the heart, the more insidious others will think. Some people say that recent college graduates are the easiest to be deceived, I can only sympathize with you buddy, which shows that you have met more bad people than them, you have to reflect on why there are some people with bad morals around you who are cheating you.

Yu Wentai was scratching his ears and thinking about Gao Huan's matter, and the messenger outside the door said: "General, there is a messenger from Luoyang who asks to see you." ”

Yuwentai was very puzzled when he heard it, there are still people from Luoyang who want to see me? Who is it? So he asked the sergeant to bring the man who came.

The person who came was none other than the emperor's confidant, Xie Jindou, the chief eunuch of the inner palace, who took the emperor's secret edict to see Yuwentai.

"Are you ......?" Yuwentai sat on the high seat and looked at Xie Jindou condescendingly. I saw Xie Jindou, who was dressed gorgeously, smiled slightly and said, "I want to see General Erzhu." On the orders of the emperor, there is something important to discuss with him. "It seems that I look down on Yuwentai, a little pawn.

Yu Wentai also smiled, and then said: "The general is far away in Chang'an, you have something important to tell me the same." ”

"Who are you? Can you make major decisions instead of the general? "Xie Jindou has been in the deep palace all the year round, he has seen all kinds of people, and the dry and thin person in front of him looks a little heroic, but at most he is a general, what can he decide? He came to find Erzhu Tianguang with the emperor's order, so he naturally looked down on Yuwentai.

Yu Wentai smiled, who is this, pretending to be a big-tailed wolf in front of me, believe it or not, I will clean your hair? Why is this guy white and beardless? Is it a eunuch? It seems that it is also well maintained, but it is a little old, otherwise it is a good seedling of old glass.

Yuwentai secretly laughed at Xie Jindou in his heart, but he said seriously: "I am Yuwentai, the general under General Erzhu, I don't have time to talk to you like this, if you have something to say, let it go quickly." The look of impatience on his face was palpable.

"You are General Yuwen of Zuoding Guanlong? Disrespectful and disrespectful. Xie Jindou immediately changed his attitude towards Yuwentai one hundred and eighty degrees as if he had suddenly come to his senses, and he was very respectful.

What does this mean, the old glass has taken a fancy to me? Lao Tzu is not good at Longyang. Yuwentai wanted to vomit when he thought about the picture of Xie Jindou and himself stripped naked and hugged together.

"Dare to ask who the gentleman is?" Yuwentai also became very polite at the moment, after all, he came by the emperor's order.

"Xie Jindou, the head of the slave family's internal ban, is also." Yuwentai felt that when he said this, he was full of anger, he was very disgusted but couldn't be seen, he felt quite uncomfortable, and when he wrote it, Xia Li bowed his hand and said: "It turned out to be the big red man Xie Gonggong in front of the emperor, and he has admired him for a long time." Hurry up, please take a seat. ”

The two sat down, and after the attendant served tea and withdrew, Xie Jindou lowered his voice and approached Yuwentai, and said with a mysterious face: "There is an edict written by the emperor here in the slave family, and General Erzhu should immediately lead the army into Luoyang to escort him." With that, he took out a sealed letter from his bosom and handed it to Yu Wentai.

Yuwentai was very disgusted when he saw the old glass leaning over, and wanted to hide away, but as soon as he heard that he had the emperor's secret letter in his hand, he immediately put his face up, and the two faces were about to collide together.

Yu Wentai took the secret letter and opened it and read it silently, while Xie Jindou was drinking tea on the side.

It turned out that the emperor couldn't stand the growing "ambition" of the Gao Huan group and wanted to get out of their control, so he wanted Erzhu Tianguang to bring the army into Luoyang to escort him.

This is a good thing, originally Erzhu Tianguang and Yuwentai felt that they had no trump card in their hands, and they felt that they had to do everything against their wishes, and they were completely controlled by others. Later, Er Zhuzhao set up an emperor himself to alleviate the passive situation, but the court of Jinyang was a puppet regime in the eyes of many people, and few were really willing to accept the order.

Now if the official emperor of Luoyang turned out to come over, it would be a send-off for Yuwentai and them, and the treasure of the world would finally reach their hands after a circle.

If Yu Wentai was still afraid to act rashly because the whereabouts of Gao Huan's main force were unknown a moment ago, then now the emperor's edict is like a huge magic force pushing them to march to Luoyang, and the sooner the better, compared to supporting Er Zhu Zhao, the benefits they bring by taking the emperor in their own hands will be greater.

Yu Wentai wrote to Erzhu Tianguang on the one hand, and on the other hand, he lit up the people and prepared to go out.

Gao Huan led the army of his headquarters back to Luoyang three days later, because He Basheng and Er Zhuzhao had already fought inextricably in the Shangdang and could not be separated. So at this moment, Gao Huan in Luoyang has only one goal: to kill Yuwentai, as long as he dares to come out.

But Yuwentai really came out, and he still led 100,000 horse infantry troops to kill out of Tongguan.

Wolf smoke is billowing and knives and guns are everywhere. Gao Huan rode on the frog treasure horse, put his hand on the pergola, and looked at the Yuwentai army opposite. Nearly 200,000 troops were all arrayed in Hengnong on the edge of the Yellow River, facing each other.

Gao Huan posed in the Crane Wing Formation, while Yuwentai was corresponding to the Fish Scale Formation, one was to break through with an impact, and the other wanted to defend and counterattack. The sun was blazing on the battlefield, and there was not even a little wind in the quiet, and the men and horses on both sides looked at each other silently more than 200 meters away. There was no sign of anyone making the first move.

I saw that the outermost left and right armies of Yuwentai's lineup were dominated by cavalry, protecting both sides, and the middle was lined up with infantry and archers, arranged into a small phalanx, with three rows of sword and shield soldiers in the front, and elite escort troops behind them. The entire army is like an iron pass guarding the main general in the middle: Yuwentai.

Gao Huan's side is leading his personal guards to stand at the forefront as a vanguard death squad, and on both sides are the Left Banner Army Horse Army and the Right Banner Army Infantry Army, all of which are all elite troops that Gao Huan can gather. Gao Huan wants to fight hard with Yuwentai this time, with the mentality that either you die or I die, of course, he also knows that in Sizhou, his own territory, he still takes advantage of the landlord.

In terms of the number of people on both sides, the forces of the two sides are equal, but in terms of quality, Gao Huan's troops are a lot worse, and Gao Huan's own personal guards and a few regular troops go out, and the others are rabble temporarily transferred from nearby counties and other states and counties, and it is a bit difficult to face the Yuwentai army that is recuperating in Guanzhong.

But sometimes the element of luck is also very high in this kind of thing, for example, now a strong wind suddenly rises, and the people who are blowing dust in the sky can't open their eyes, but the goddess of luck seems to be beginning to favor Gao Huan, they are standing against the wind, and the impact is far less than the opposite side of the front facing the wind Yuwentai army.

Gao Huan seized the opportunity, raised his whip on his horse and shouted: "Soldiers, the brothers who fought with me today are all nobles who will be honored as generals tomorrow, listen to my orders, and the whole army will attack!" Kill! After that, the first prancing horse came out of the battle with a gun, and the crowd behind him rushed towards the Yuwentai army like a flood wave, and the war drums behind him rumbled through the sky, mixed with the shouting and killing like a march of the dead, how many people will die here today, and how many families will be separated and ruined.

Gao Huan secretly thought in his heart that this was the inevitable price to be paid for human progress, and it was time for someone to come out and end all this after hundreds of years of melee, but on this road to the end after a lot of hardships, there must be various costs. Fighting and dying in war is the saddest thing in the world, but there is nothing to be done.
