[Sorry! I just rushed home. 】

The Wagang Army deployed several scout teams near Pengcheng County, closely monitoring every move of the Xu Army in Pengcheng County, when Shang Shitu led 10,000 troops to Xiao County, immediately there were scouts sent pigeon letters back to Xiao County to report, at the beginning of the night, when Yu Wenhua and led two thousand troops to escort more than 1,000 carts to the north, this important information was also fed back to the Wagang Army of Xiao County at the fastest speed.

Zhai Rang's initial purpose in intercepting Yu Wenhua was to seize the wealth he took away from Jiangdu, but he fell into a bloody battle for half a year, which made Zhai Rang's army suffer extremely heavy losses, at this time he heard that Yu Wenhua was going to flee north with wealth, how could he let Yu Wenhua go, Zhai Rang immediately ordered the general Zhang Tong'er to lead 10,000 troops to chase Yu Wenhua.

In the night, there was a mixed sound of running on the official road, and a well-equipped soldier was running along the official road, which was a branch road, leading from Xiao County to Liuxian, the distance was about one hundred and fifty miles, and it was about eighty miles away from the main official road in the north of Pengcheng County.

This area is a plain area, with overgrown bushes on both sides of the official road, and in the distance there are dense woods, large areas of bare farmland, rats and snakes, and jagged weeds.

Zhang Tong'er looked at the surrounding terrain, there were too many woods here, and it was easy to be ambushed, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"Where is this?" Zhang Tong'er asked loudly.

A soldier familiar with the situation replied: "General, there is the confluence of official roads in front, and there are about three miles ahead. ”

Zhang Tong'er was about to send soldiers to investigate the surroundings, when someone suddenly shouted: "General! ”

Zhang Tong'er reined in the war horse, only to see a cavalryman running behind him, who seemed to be the personal guard next to the lord, "What's the matter?" Zhang Tong'er greeted him.

The cavalry held up an arrow and said, "The lord asked the general to withdraw to Xiao County immediately!" ”

Zhang Tong'er was stunned, "Why?" ”

"Just after you left, news came from Pengcheng County that the main cavalry of the Sui army was also heading north, and the general was likely to meet it."

Zhang Tong'er was taken aback, the main force of the Sui cavalry had 30,000 people, and they only had 10,000 people, if they encountered, they would inevitably be the fate of the entire army.

Zhang Tong'er shouted urgently: "Retreat!" Retreat now! ”

10,000 troops were running and marching, and at the sound of the order, the soldiers began to slow down, and many of them hesitated and turned and retreated.

At this time, Pei Xingyan's army was ambushed a mile away, under the bright moonlight, he could see the other party's movement clearly, Pei Xingyan saw that the enemy army had retreated, he knew that the other party had noticed something, Pei Xingyan immediately made a decision, pulled out his war knife and shouted: "Pursuit!" “

Seven thousand cavalry suddenly slaughtered from the woods, like a flash flood, rushed up the official road, and swept towards the Wagang army a mile away

At the same time that the cavalry of the Sui army ambushed the Wagang army, the battle of Xiao County gradually came to an end, Yu Wenhua's army was ambushed by the 60,000 Wagang army, the Xu army was killed and wounded, and Shang Shifu killed a bloody road, leading dozens of people to flee to the northwest, so far, Yu Wenhua and the Xiaoguo army brought out from Jiangdu were all wiped out.

Although he completely annihilated Yu Wenhua's army, Zhai Rang was not happy at all, and even became angry, he killed and injured more than 100,000 people, but the final fruits of victory were taken away by Zhang Xuan, wealth was taken away, Yu Wenhua and his brothers were captured by the Sui army, the people of the world must think that the extermination of the traitor Yu Wenhua and Zhang Xuan's credit has nothing to do with him Zhai Rang, which makes Zhai Rang how can he not be angry.

Zhai Rang's roar came from time to time in the room, the guards were frightened, and no one dared to persuade Zhai Rang, at this time, Shan Xiongxin walked into the courtyard quickly, but happened to see a food plate thrown out of the room, and the dishes and wine jugs fell to the ground.

"Get out! Get out! Zhai Rang's roar came from the room, and a guard stumbled out.

Shan Xiongxin frowned, how could the lord be so out of shape, he Shan Xiongxin could be like thunder, how could he lose his temper casually as the lord, this would make the soldiers feel cold!

Shan Xiongxin slowly walked to the door and said in a deep voice: "Lord, it's me!" ”

The roaring inside suddenly stopped, and after a while, I heard Zhai Rang sigh deeply, "Come in!" ”

Shan Xiongxin walked into the room, only to see Zhai Rang sitting on the couch, holding his face with both hands, looking very tired and helpless, Shan Xiongxin looked at him quietly for a moment and said: "Lord, the main force of the Sui cavalry has gathered." ”

"Oh! When is the message. ”

"That's the information from the flying pigeons in Pengcheng County just now."

"What do you think we should do?" Zhai Rang asked in frustration.

"Lord, I also resent the Sui army, but the reality is here, we are not the opponent of the Sui cavalry, we must evacuate, and we must evacuate quickly."

Zhai Rang slowly crumpled a piece of paper on the table, and let go of his hand again, at this moment, there was a sound of hurried footsteps in the courtyard, and only one soldier was terrified: "King, it's not good!" ”

Shan Xiongxin turned around, hurriedly walked to the door, and asked, "But something happened to General Zhang?" ”

At this time, Shan Xiongxin was most worried about the thing, Zhang Tong'er was afraid that he would encounter the Sui cavalry, and the soldier nodded, "Flee back a few wounded soldiers, saying that they were ambushed by the enemy cavalry, the whole army was annihilated, and General Zhang also died in the chaos." ”

As soon as Shan Xiongxin turned around, he saw Zhai Rang standing behind him, holding the door frame with one hand, his face was pale, and his eyes showed a look of fear. The herald ordered the army to immediately retreat to Liang County. ”

Half an hour later, the 60,000 Wagang army left Xiao County, and retreated quickly to the west, even the 50,000 stone grain in stock was not taken away, and at this time, nearly 30,000 Sui cavalry were thirty miles away, Pei Xingyan had already received the news that the Wagang army was retreating westward, but he did not pursue, this was the order of the commander Zhang Xuan, let the Wagang army leave, and it was not yet the time for a decisive battle with the Wagang army.

Two days later, the Wagang army returned to Liang County, and the 200,000 Wagang army went east to conquer Yuwenhe, and finally only more than 60,000 people returned

Luoyang, in Wang Shichong's palace of King Zheng, Wang Shichong and several henchmen gathered in the study to discuss a letter sent by Zhang Xuan, the content of the letter made Wang Shichong very nervous, and even proposed to hunt the Wagang army together.

Wang Shichong has been waiting for Zhai Rang and Yu Culture for most of the year, and he can easily get the benefits of the fisherman, Zhang Xuan has also considered it, Zhang Xuan is fighting with Goguryeo, he should have no time to take care of the Central Plains, compared to Zhang Xuan, Wang Shichong is more worried about Jianghuai Du Fuwei.

But the situation has developed to the side that he fears the most, and Zhang Xuan has decided to take action against the Wagang army.

Of course, Wang Shichong knew that Zhang Xuan's so-called joint hunt for the Wagang Army was actually proposing to share the Central Plains, and he originally wanted to dominate the Central Plains, but now his hope of dominating the Central Plains has been shattered.

"Let's talk about it! What are we going to do? Wang Shichong sighed and said to everyone.

The ministers in the room were silent, no one wanted to speak first, everyone knew that Wang Shichong had his own ideas, and if his thoughts did not match Wang Shichong, he would be killed.

Wang Shichong saw that no one would speak, so he glared at everyone fiercely and said to Duan Da: "Duan Gong will say it first!" ”

Duan Da trembled all over, and only after half a sound did he swallow and say, "I suspect that Zhang Xuan has already sent troops at the same time as he wrote this letter. ”

"Is there any basis for this?" Wang Shichong asked a little impatiently, he was afraid that Zhang Xuan had already sent troops before him, and he hated to hear this kind of assertion.

"There is no evidence for the humble position, but it is inferred from common sense that the humble position feels that Zhang Xuan will not miss the opportunity."

Wang Shichong's heart became more and more annoyed, at this time, Wang Shichong's eldest son Wang Xuanying hurriedly walked into the room and whispered a few words in Wang Shichong's ear, Wang Shichong's eyes widened, and he asked for a while: "Is this true?" ”

"It's an eagle letter from Pengcheng County, it should be true."

Everyone looked at Wang Shichong in confusion, Wang Shichong was already anxious to stand up, walked out quickly, and ignored everyone, Guo Wenyi hurriedly asked Wang Xuanying: "May I ask the prince, what happened?" Why is King Zheng so out of shape? ”

Wang Xuanying sighed, "I just received the news from Pengcheng County that Yu Wenji's Cointreau was completely annihilated by the Wagang army, but the Northern Sui army took action and captured Yu Wenhua, and the Wagang army was forced to retreat to Liang County. ”

Everyone looked at each other, no wonder King Zheng was so out of shape, the Wagang army retreated westward, which meant that Xuzhou fell into the hands of Zhang Xuan.

On the morning of the same day, Wang Shichong sent a letter back to Zhang Xuan, saying that in response to King Qi's suggestion, the two sides would hunt down the Wagang bandit Zhai Rang.

The 100,000 Wang Shichong troops who had been gathering momentum for a long time were divided into three routes, all the way to Xingyang Taishou Yang Qing as the governor of the left capital, led an army of 20,000 from Xingyang County to kill the East County, and all the way ordered the general of Zuotunwei Yuwen Chengdu to lead an army of 30,000 to Xiangcheng County in the south, and be sure to take Xiangcheng, Xiyang, Nanyang, Shuyang and Huai'an and other five counties, Wang Shichong left his eldest son Wang Xuan to guard Luoyang, and he personally led an army of 50,000 to Liang County.

The battle of the Wagang Army has been fought on the land of the Central Plains.
