Xiangwu in Longxi County, Hou Mo and Chen Chong's troops drove in one after another, because most of Qinzhou's territory except Tianshui had fallen at this moment, so it seemed impossible to establish a defensive line in the state to resist Yang Zhong at this moment. His younger brothers www.biquge.info, Hou Mo Chen Qiong and Hou Mo Chen Kai, are still stuck in Tianshui City waiting for rescue at the moment, and he must find a way to untie the siege of Tianshui as soon as possible.

Yang Jian's subordinates Yang Su and Murong Yan were stationed in Xinxing City, not far from Longxi, as the vanguard army of Qizhou, and the army was about more than 5,000 people. Hou Mo Chen Chong plans to start from here first. Xinxing City is an earthen city, with a radius of only five or six miles, and there are not many residents in the city, but in the face of the strong enemy Hou Mo Chen Chong, Yang Su discussed with Murong Yan and decided to divide the army into two roads, Yang Su led 3,000 people to defend in the city, and Murong Yan led more than 2,000 people to camp in Caoqiu Mountain outside the city.

In order to confuse the enemy army, Murong Yan specially built empty camps in many places above and below the mountain, and only a dozen people were sent to each camp to erect flags inside, tie scarecrows, and disguise themselves as a large number of troops. Hou Mo Chen Chong's general Dou Luguang is a Qiang people, good at horse warfare, and he is not good at siege, so he took the initiative to ask Hou Mo Chen Chong to attack Murong Yan in Caoqiu Mountain.

Hou Mo Chen Chong sent him 5,000 men to attack Murong Yan. Dou Luguang arrived near Caoqiu Mountain in the evening of the same day, wanting to challenge Murong Yan's troops again the next day, so he set up camp and sent someone to send Murong Yan a war letter, asking him to fight him at the foot of the mountain early the next morning. Murong Yanxin said that the enemy army is new, and it is a good opportunity for us to sneak attack, so why not take advantage of the night to rob the camp and kill Dou Luguang if you are at ease.

That night, Murong Yan led two thousand horse infantry troops to sneak in front of Dou Luguang's camp, and a bang sounded, and he raised his knife and took the lead in rushing in. As soon as I arrived in the camp, I found that there was no one inside, and I didn't want to suddenly kill a team of men and horses behind the camp, and the leading general was Dou Luguang, I saw that he was invincible in the crowd, and all the sergeants under him were disrupted by the sudden attack.

Dou Luguang was like a fierce god in the enemy's army, and there were countless generals and soldiers who were killed by him, Murong Yan hurriedly beckoned his subordinates to retreat, and when Dou Luguang saw this, he was willing to let him go, and he commanded his men and horses to press up and want to annihilate Murong Yan's troops in one fell swoop. The two sides fought at the gate of the camp, and Murong Yan shouted loudly on the horse: "Don't worry about weapons and equipment, retreat quickly!" "Say it, I'll be the first to run away. When his generals saw that they were invincible, they threw away their armor and fled.

Dou Luguang waved his army and was about to catch up, when suddenly a group of swords and axes in front of him guarded three rows of archers, and saw a young general standing majestically on the side and shouted: "Release the arrow!" Dou Luguang didn't expect that there was Murong Yan's back hand here, only to see that after a rain of arrows, his sergeants fell to the ground one after another with arrows, and countless casualties were killed. The general on the side said loudly: "General, let's withdraw, it seems that we can't catch this Murong Yan today." ”

Looking at the subordinates who were wailing everywhere, Dou Luguang was very discouraged and said: "Mom, count him Murong Xiaoer running fast, otherwise he will have to ask him to confess here tonight." All retreated. With his order, his subordinates retreated one after another to avoid the rain of arrows. After the archers on the other side repelled their pursuit, they didn't seem to have any intention of fighting, and they also disappeared into the night, and this night Murong Yan and Dou Luguang were victorious and defeated.

In the next day, Dou Luguang took a short rest and led his troops to challenge at the foot of Caoqiu Mountain, but Murong Yan just didn't face the battle in the camp, and his generals asked to fight, and they were ashamed of last night. At this time, Yang Su sent someone to inform Murong Yan that they didn't have to go to war, they just needed to defend the camp, and they would naturally retreat if they couldn't get the enemy's food and grass, Murong Yan had a battle last night, firstly, he was greatly injured by his vitality, and his subordinates were killed and wounded by nearly seven or eight hundred people, and secondly, he was a little jealous of Dou Luguang, and he was afraid that he would be ambushed by him again.

Dou Luguang asked people to challenge and scold the street for three days in a row, but there was no reaction from the other side. Seeing that there is not much grain and grass for himself, he plans to find a city to borrow some grain first, saying that it is borrowing is actually robbing, at this moment Qinzhou is full of flags, Dou Luguang feels that these wall grasses are damned, if you don't rob them, who will rob them, no matter how you say it, you will bring people to fight Yang Zhong, and you have much more backbone than them.

There is a small town called Wuyang downstream of Xinxing City, which is said to be dominated by animal husbandry, and it is all sheep and cattle. This is undoubtedly a piece of fat meat for Dou Luguang, who lacks food and clothing, mutton can be eaten, and sheepskin can be made into military clothes and sold for money. So he planned to bypass Xinxing City to sack Wuyang. Because Murong Yan and Yang Su were both in a state of strict defense and would not take the initiative to go out of the city to attack their own troops, Dou Luguang and his party arrived at Wuyang very easily.

The original defenders of Wuyang had already fled when they heard the news, leaving only more than 600 people in the city, Dou Luguang was not Hou Mo Chen Chong after all, he did not slaughter these aborigines, but just issued an announcement asking them to sacrifice their livestock ****, no one dared to disobey the order, and they all took out their own cattle and sheep to reward Dou Luguang's army.

Yang Su's only Dou Luguang's troops all crossed their own cities to Wuyang, so they wanted Murong Yan to lead troops to encircle and suppress, but Murong Yan did not dare to attack without authorization at the moment, he said to Yang Su that he could exchange positions with him, defend the emerging city by himself, and let Yang Su lead people to attack Wuyang. But after all, his position was higher than that of Murong Yan, so he gave Murong Yan an order as a commander to lead the army to attack.

When the two were blaming each other, who knew that Dou Luguang had actually come back, not only did his party not decrease, but the nearby soldiers and civilians heard that Hou Mo Chen Chong's army had arrived, and they all joined the ranks of resisting Yang Zhong's troops, and Dou Luguang's troops suddenly grew from the original 5,000 men and horses to more than 10,000, which even he did not expect.

Of course, not everyone in Qinzhou supports the return of Hou Mo Chen Chong, for example, the wealthy families in the state who have been suppressed by Hou Mo Chen Chong before, Cao Hui Palace in Ayang City, upstream of the Wating River, and the second family of Qinzhou who is dissatisfied with Hou Mo Chen's family, Xue Yusheng, who is entrenched in the Longcheng and Anrong areas of Luoyang County. These two are the opposition forces that have taken the lead in disagreeing.

Yang Zhong's base camp is located in Shanggua City, which is not far from Tianshui City, for Cao Hui Palace and Xue Yusheng, he has already sent people to cage them, and the first to respond is Cao Hui Palace, he has long wanted to come out of Ayang, where birds don't, and now with Yang Zhong's care, he can go south along the Wating River and directly reach Tianshui City to help Yang Zhong encircle this city. As for Xue Yusheng, he didn't say anything for a long time.

In Longcheng City, Xue Yusheng's house. At this moment, he was nervously discussing the battle on the front line with his generals, when suddenly the guards came to report that an old man had come to see him. Who would come to him at this time, and with this curiosity, he asked the guards to invite the old man in. As soon as the man entered the door, Xue Yusheng smiled, it turned out to be Cao Hui Palace. The two of them can be described as old acquaintances and rivals. But I don't know why Cao Huigong sent it to the door by himself today. (To be continued.) )
