Liang Xun's worries hit Pei Renji's heart, Xintai County is his logistics center, if Xintai County is lost, his army will be dangerous in Langya County, he would rather not fight Liyu County, never lose Xintai County, he pondered for a moment, and said to Luo Zhenyu: "General Luo is willing to lead the army to rescue Xintai County?" ”

Luo Zhenyu thought for a while and said, "There is a suggestion for the humble position, I don't know if the marshal can accept it?" ”

"Tell me about it!"

"Qiqi Marshal, Guo Huan's troops must be arranged by Wang Bo, and their target must be Xintai County, but Wang Bo must hope that Dashuai will divide his troops to save Xintai County, so that Wang Bo will have the opportunity to defeat each of them."

Pei Renji nodded, Luo Zhenyu was right, this was indeed a ploy arranged by Wang Bo, a very vicious plan, and he asked again: "What about in your opinion?" ”

"The humble post suggests that the marshal should not divide the troops, and the whole army will slowly retreat back to Xintai County, and there is an opportunity to attack Liyu County, but the marshal must first protect himself."

Luo Zhenyu's suggestion is completely consistent with Pei Renji's idea, their grain route is no longer guaranteed, if they don't withdraw the army, they won't be able to support it for long, and it is the best policy to withdraw to Xintai County first.

Pei Renji sighed, "You're right, we should retreat with the whole army, although it's a little ugly on the face, but now is not the time to take care of face, and we have to notify Zhang Xuan about this matter." ”

Liang Xun next to him was a little worried: "If the whole army retreats, I am worried that the withdrawal is too slow, Guo Huan's side is already attacking Xintai County." ”

Luo Zhenyu hurriedly said: "If you are worried about this, I have a way." ”

"What can General Luo do?" Bae In-ki asked.

"Marshal Qiyu, Guo Huan was originally also a Sui army, and he was also a subordinate of the lowly position, we have a very good personal relationship, and the lowly position is willing to persuade Guo Huan, even if he refuses to surrender. At least he can be persuaded to leave a way back for himself, not to really attack Xintai County, and then the marshal will send another 2,000 troops to the north to strengthen the defense of Xintai County, so that it will be foolproof. ”

Pei Renji hesitated, "This is too dangerous for General Luo!" ”

Luo Zhenyu laughed. "I have a life-saving grace for Guo Huan, he won't kill me, please rest assured, the boss will be fine."

Pei Renji finally agreed, took out a command arrow and handed it to him, "With this order arrow, you can persuade Guo Huan on my behalf, and if the situation is not good, inform me immediately." ”

"The lowly office understands that the situation is urgent. Humble duty is now the departure. ”

"General Luo be careful all the way!"

Luo Zhenyu saluted Pei Renji with a fist, and rushed north with two henchmen, Pei Renji kept looking at their backs and went away, Liang Xun asked: "Will the marshal send troops north now?" ”

Pei Renji is an extremely cautious person, he will not make a decision on major issues like Zhang Xuan, this matter is very important, he needs to think about it carefully before making a decision, he shook his head and said, "Go back first." Make up your mind! ”

Xintai County is currently guarded by 2,000 troops led by Sima Jia Runfu, who is about 30 years old. He was five short and fat, and looked like the shopkeeper of an inn or a wine store.

But in fact, Jia Runfu is from a famous family in Qi County, and the Jia family in Qi County is also a famous family and an official eunuch for generations. Jia Runfu's grandfather Jia Zhiyuan was the Taishou of Qi County in the Northern Qi Dynasty, and his father Jia Wuben has been an official in the Qi County Military Mansion, and is still the most senior official in the Flying Eagle Army, and his mother is the daughter of the Yan family of Qi County, because of such a strong capital. Jia Runfu was eventually appointed by Zhang Xutuo as the Sima of the Flying Eagle Army.

Although he is a child of a family, Jia Runfu himself is also extremely shrewd and capable, and manages the logistics of the Flying Eagle Army in an orderly manner, but in the past two days, he has been very worried about this battle.

Yesterday he sent 500 people to escort the grain convoy south, but there were actually only 1,500 people in the city, although there were still a few thousand surrendered soldiers, but they were not completely converted, and Jia Runfu did not dare to use these surrendered troops to defend the city for the time being.

At night, Jia Runfu stood at the head of Nancheng, looking at the direction of Liyu County from afar, he was personally not optimistic about this southern expedition, he felt that Pei Renji was a little eager to take credit, and launched the battle of Langya County prematurely.

They should wait for Yang Yichen to destroy Meng Haigong, and the two armies will jointly attack Langya County, this is the way to win, they are not familiar with Langya County, and the vast mountainous area in the north of Langya is not suitable for the southern expedition, and it is difficult to guarantee logistics alone.

Jia Runfu and Fang Xuanling have a very good relationship, Fang Xuanling went to Beihai County to find a job or a letter of recommendation written by him, Jia Runfu is personally more optimistic about Zhang Xuan, Zhang Xuan has both Zhang Xutuo's courage and good fighting, and Zhang Xutuo does not have the political acumen, can get along well with the family, Jia Runfu privately told his father that if Zhang Xuan comes to be the general guard of Qi County, it will definitely make Qi County go further.

Just as he was thinking about it, a soldier suddenly shouted: "Sima, it seems that there is an army coming ahead!" ”

Jia Runfu was startled, and hurriedly took a closer look at the city, only to see an army coming in the distance, which could be seen more clearly in the moonlight, about 2,000 people, and the general was vaguely familiar.

After a while, the army arrived in front of him, and Jia Runfu recognized the leader of the general, who was Luo Zhenyu, and the soldiers behind him were all wearing the armor of the Sui army, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Is it General Luo?" Jia Runfu asked loudly.

"It turns out that Jasma is at the head of the city, what a coincidence."

Luo Zhenyu under the city said loudly: "Because the Lu County bandit Guo Huan attacked the grain delivery team, the marshal was worried that Xintai County would be lost, so he ordered me to quickly lead the army to support Xintai County. ”

Jia Runfu was taken aback, "Has the grain delivery convoy been attacked?" ”

"It's miserable, most of the five hundred brothers died, the grain carts and grain were all burned, and the commander was ready to withdraw and come back."

Luo Zhenyu said eagerly: "It's not safe outside, please open the door quickly!" ”

Jia Runfu was just about to give the order to open the city gate, when his mind suddenly changed, and he asked, "Does General Luo have a commander's arrow?" ”

He has an extra heart, so it's better to ask more.

Luo Zhenyu secretly screamed a fluke, fortunately Pei Renji gave him a command arrow, he hurriedly took out the order arrow and shouted: "This is the commander's order arrow, please Sima take a look!" ”

A copper basket was thrown under the city, he put the arrow in the basket, the copper basket was pulled back, and the soldier presented the arrow to Jia Runfu, Jia Runfu looked at it, and then ordered: "Open the city!" ”

The drawbridge was lowered, and the city gate was slowly opened, at this time, Luo Zhenyu was already impatient, urging the horse to rush into the city gate, and the soldiers behind him ran desperately towards the city gate.

This made Jia Runfu stunned, why is Luo Zhenyu so anxious? At this moment, the soldier pointed to the distance and shouted, "Sima, there is another army behind you." ”

Jia Runfu also saw it, and thousands of troops appeared behind him, but obviously it was not the enemy army chasing Luo Zhenyu, but wearing the same military uniform, Luo Zhenyu did not bring two thousand people over at all.

He suddenly felt that something was wrong in his heart, and immediately shouted: "Close the city gate!" ”

But it was too late, and one of the generals drew his sword and shouted, "Sons, follow me in!" ”

The soldiers under the city shouted in unison, "Kill! ”

Thousands of soldiers rushed towards the city gates, which could no longer be closed, when a terrible scream came from the city.

"Sima, the thieves have entered the city, go quickly!"

More than a dozen soldiers rushed over, carrying Jia Runfu to the north city, at this time the south city gate was a mess, hundreds of Sui troops desperately arrived at the thief army to kill, but the thief army was strong, could not resist at all, they were killed and retreated.

At this time, Luo Zhenyu finally showed his hideous face, wielding a knife to kill in the Sui army, where did he really surrender Pei Renji, his so-called surrender was a carefully arranged strategy by Wang Bo, that is, to lure Pei Renji south, they would seize Xintai County again, completely cut off Pei Renji's grain and grass logistics, and lose the baggage of the rear army, Pei Renji will be defeated.

At this time, the north gate of the city had been opened, and the Sui army was still fighting hard with the thief army, and the north gate was saved. ”

More than 1,000 Sui troops could not resist the attack of the thief army, and at this time, the premeditated surrender army also began to rebel, they rushed into the Sui army camp, snatched the weapons in the warehouse, and joined Luo Zhenyu's team to launch a fierce attack on the Sui army.

The Sui army suffered heavy casualties from the enemy, and the remaining hundreds of Sui troops could not resist the attack of nearly 10,000 thieves, and quickly retreated to the north city gate.

"Let's go!"

Jia Runfu, who was waiting at the north city gate, roared loudly, and more than 100 soldiers around him used bows and arrows to resist the thief army attacking from the side, and hundreds of Sui soldiers rushed out of the north city gate, followed by Jia Runfu and fled in the direction of Lu County in panic.

At this point, Xintai County fell, and tens of thousands of stone grains and countless weapons and baggage all fell into the hands of the thief army.

With the fall of Xintai County, the situation in Langya County began to reverse rapidly, and Guo Huan immediately led 3,000 thieves to attack Dong'an County according to Wang Bo's deployment.

Once Dong'an County was captured, not only did Zhang Xuan's back road be cut off, but the gates of Beihai County and Qi County were also opened, and the situation became extremely grim. (To be continued......)
