After receiving Chu Pei and getting two or three thousand remnants, the combat power of the soldiers and horses under Yang Ping'an has been greatly improved, but Yang Ping'an is not so complacent that he will take these soldiers and horses to attack [***] to the point of eradicating Shi Siming, he knows very well that even if the two sides do not consider factors such as city defense in the wilderness, he will not be able to win Shi Siming.

However, this place is very close to Guabu, and there are a large number of Zhou troops stationed there, which can be used.

So Yang Ping'an took the map, and after a careful observation, he decided to lead a surprise army to attack Guabu.

"Big brother, no."

"Horse, I can't help it."

Chu Pei and the four people were shocked when they heard this, and they stopped it in a loud voice, Guabu is close to the north bank of the Yangtze River, and it is one of the ferries for the Zhou army to go ashore.

"Who said I was going to attack Guabu."

Among the four people, the first to understand was Kong Haoxia: "My lord, could it be that you want to attack [***] because of the Zhou army of Guabu." ”

Shi Siming is in [***] right now, only by luring the Guabu Zhou army and causing the two tigers to fight, Yang Ping'an will have a chance to kill Shi Siming.

Although Kong Haoxia is young, his ability to lead troops is far beyond his age, and through these contacts, Yang Ping'an has already seen that if this person has no background and is too young, he is afraid that he would have been promoted long ago.

This person can be reused.

Kong Haoxia said Yang Ping'an's intentions, and the other three suddenly realized, but Rao was like this, and they also opposed Yang Ping'an's move, because it was too dangerous.

If there are fewer Zhou troops, it is equivalent to sending military merits to Shi Siming, but if it is too much, it is likely that he will be stuck in the melon step and will not be able to get out.

"Big brother, let me come, I don't have any other skills, but I have some experience in attracting enemy troops." It was An Lushan who spoke, and he undertook a similar task when attacking [***].

In the end, under the persuasion of several people and An Lushan's self-recommendation, Yang Ping'an finally handed over this most dangerous task to him, when An Lushan picked out three thousand cavalry and prepared to set off, even Yang Guozhong, who had been at odds with him, was a little embarrassed.

"Fat man, you must be careful, if you can come back alive, I promise that in the future, I will show mercy in the future."

"You dare to be merciless, watch out for my fists." An Lushan slapped Yang Guozhong on the shoulder twice, and let Yang Ping'an hug his fist, "Big brother, I'll go." ”

"Okay." Yang Ping'an nodded, his expression was solemn, and he lowered his voice, "No matter what success or failure, you must come back alive, remember." ”

Shi Siming, who recovered [***], was quite happy in his heart, and at the same time regretted a little, he had known that [***] had become an empty city, and he had known that Yang Ping'an had not fled back to Yangzhou but came to [***], why did he bother to make such a thing in Tianchang County.

However, he never regrets doing things, the surname Chu does not know how to lift, even Xiao Taishi dares to offend, kill and kill, and at the moment it does not cost a soldier to recover [***], he is busy playing military merits.

His soldiers were not idle, and they looted and plundered everything in the city, and he himself was no exception.

More than half of the looted property of his soldiers had to be handed over to him, and he didn't care if they had made him angry and angry and whether the bitter lords in the city would sue him in the future.

War, it was meant to be dead, since the Zhou army was able to send a soldier to assassinate General Chu in Tianchang, he could naturally slaughter the city in [***], and he didn't do such a thing as killing good and risking merit.

In the city, with the arrival of Shi Siming's army, a bloody storm was set off, and the people in the city were miserable.

Shi Siming feels good about himself, since he captured Tianchang, he has found that his luck is getting better and better, not only found Yang Ping'an's traces, but also picked up [***] This big bargain for nothing.

The only thing that made him a little entangled was whether he caught Yang Ping'an.

In his opinion, this is just a small problem, he knows very well that Yang Ping'an is now between [***] and Guabu, either return to [***] to be killed, or flee to Guabu to surrender to the Zhou army, no matter which Yang Ping'an chooses, he will be removed from Datang, not only his shame can be snowed, but the revenge of Xiao Teng, the son of Xiao Taishi, can also be avenged.

In the past few days, in addition to insulting young and beautiful women, Shi Siming and Xiao Dingmou are discussing with Li Linfu how to force Yang Ping'an into a dead end.

In the past, Xiao Dingmou looked down on Li Linfu very much, but now the latter's impression in his heart has changed greatly, especially after arriving at [***], Li Linfu is not close to women, which makes him even more surprised.

Xiao Ding's purpose in Yangzhou Shi Siming's army was only one, to get rid of Yang Ping'an, this was not Xiao Taishi's order, but his cousin Xiao Teng's trust, in fact, he was also very curious, he didn't understand why his uncle changed his surname, and suddenly stopped dealing with Yang Ping'an.

Could it be that my uncle forgot that Yang Ping'an might threaten the candidate for the prince?

The Xiao family knows very well that no matter how long the glory of Taishi Xiao lasts, it will be sad for a hundred years, and the son of Concubine Xiao will be able to continue to be prosperous.

Yang Rui's heirs are thin, and now there are only two, one is from the noble concubine Su Min, and the other is from Concubine Xiao Shu, the former occupies the name of the eldest son, and the latter also has family background, and it is difficult to distinguish between the two sides in the palace.

And depending on the situation, Yang Rui is not currently considering the matter of establishing an heir, otherwise he would not have established a queen by now, just in case, the Xiao family must continue to expand their own power, and then the opportunity of the Tang and Zhou wars to expand the power of the Xiao family's heirs in the army, Xiao Dingmou is only one of the heirs of the Xiao family who came to the army to gild, and he is also the only one who accepted Xiao Teng's entrustment.

Changfeng Valley did not block Yang Ping'an but encountered Zhou General Kou Xiong, which greatly disappointed Xiao Dingmou, when he thought that Yang Ping'an had fled back to Yangzhou, his heart was once lost to the extreme, thinking that he had no chance to eradicate Yang Ping'an.

But now it's different, they occupy [***] and lock Yang Ping'an between [***] and Guabu, Yang Ping'an has become a turtle in the urn and has no way to escape.

What he has to do now is to agree on a plan as soon as possible to annihilate Yang Ping'an's subordinates, and the province has many nights and dreams.

Shi Siming had already sent a lookout to find the hiding place of Yang Ping'an's soldiers and horses, but Yang Ping'an seemed to have disappeared, and he could not find his traces for many consecutive days, but at the junction of Guabu and [***], a sentry came to report, saying that a Tang army of thousands of people fled back from Guabu, and a large number of Zhou troops were in hot pursuit.

I couldn't find out where this Tang army came from, but I saw the word "An" embroidered on the big banner in the army.

"'An', it can't be the dead fat man of An Lushan." Li Linfu put forward his judgment for the first time, and immediately pulled Xiao Dingmou and Shi Siming's thoughts back from the fog.

Shi Siming slapped his thigh: "That's right, it must be that dead fat man, Yang Ping'an's guy has no king, and only he dares to directly promote a subordinate as a general, son, let's finally find that guy." ”

Xiao Dingmou was not as excited as Shi Siming, his brows were slightly furrowed and he pondered for a moment, and asked: "An Lushan fled back from Guabu, what about Yang Ping'an, could it be that he really went to Guabu, did he die in Guabu or surrendered to the Zhou army." ”

They couldn't judge this question, but soon the answer was sent to them, and An Lushan led the remnants of the army to flee to the city of [***].

"Who dares to occupy [***], don't you know that this [***] city was brought down by my eldest brother."

An Lushan shouted and scolded under the city, and Shi Siming took Li Linfu to appear at the head of the city: "Dead fat man, what is your eldest brother, Lao Tzu Shi Siming, this [***] city was recovered by Lao Tzu, you dare to shout under the city, don't you think your life is long." ”

"It was you." An Lushan seemed to recognize Shi Siming, "You bastard, you dare to be greedy for my eldest brother's credit, you wait, my eldest brother will come back, and you will look good." ”

After scolding, An Lushan turned his horse's head and wanted to lead the troops away, Li Linfu saw this and hurriedly shouted: "Fatty, where is the eldest brother, why don't you stay by the eldest brother's side." ”

"Phew, big brother is also called by your shameless villain." Seeing Li Linfu, An Lushan's anger didn't come to one place, "Did you betray your eldest brother, otherwise how could that bastard appear here." ”

"You don't have to worry about my affairs, you just need to tell me where my eldest brother is, you don't care about my eldest brother's surname, but I care, my eldest brother has the grace of my life, how can I not take revenge, you can say quickly, is the eldest brother trapped in Guabu."

"You don't cry in this cat, do you think I'll be deceived by you, I'll go to Tianchang to move troops, and I will rescue my eldest brother."

This fat man really didn't have a bright brain, Shi Siming's heart moved, and he immediately understood that Yang Ping'an was surrounded by the Zhou army, probably because he wanted to be discovered by the Zhou army when he returned to Yangzhou from Guabu, and An Lushan wanted to move the rescue troops when he broke out of the encirclement.

Thinking of this, Shi Siming immediately spoke: "Fatty, the horse is really trapped by Zhou Jun, you speak quickly, if you kill the horse's surname if you are late, I will ask your head for the crime." ”

Seeing that An Lushan was a little stunned, he continued: "That's right, this general is at odds with the horse, but the brother is still able to resist his insults, this general is actually the kind of person who does not distinguish between right and wrong, you say it quickly, and this general will lead the troops to rescue." ”

An Lushan was moved by what he said, and hesitated for a moment and said, "Do you dare to go out of the city alone to meet me." ”

"Why don't you dare?" Shi Siming, who was wearing armor, immediately got off the city and rode out of the city alone to see An Lushan, who saw that he was so calm and deceived by him, and after a few words on the side, he immediately told the truth.

Yang Ping'an really wanted to lead the troops to receive Guabu and Baisha, and then return to Yangzhou through Changfeng Valley, but he didn't expect that the Zhou army in Guabu was extremely vigilant, and they were discovered as soon as they stepped into the territory of Guabu.

The two sides fought three battles, and finally Yang Ping'an's soldiers and horses were defeated due to factors such as the lack of training of the rushed army, and finally Yang Ping'an led nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses to be trapped on a hill, and An Lushan led thousands of cavalry to fight out of the siege and wanted to move troops to rescue.

The Zhou army wanted to completely annihilate Yang Ping'an's troops, so they pursued An Lushan until it was close to [***].

"General Shi, you are really willing to lead troops to save my eldest brother." After saying all this, An Lushan looked at Shi Siming expectantly, waiting for the other party's reply.
