Huiji is the capital of Yuezhou, and it is also the nest of Fu Gongyou, and it is also the residence of Fu Gongyou's henchman, the secretary of the Song Army, the ambassador of the Southeast Province, and the governor of Yuezhou, Zuo Youxian. Here are 50,000 Jianghuai elites who are loyal to Fu Gongyou. This place is more than 300 miles away from Danyang City, and is located in the area of Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province in later generations.

In the evening, the distress messenger sent by Fu Gongyou, after several days of overnight travel, finally arrived at Huiji City and met Fu Gongyou's henchman Zuo Youxian.

The messenger cried to Zuo Youxian: "Your subordinates implore Lord Shangshu to send rescue troops to rescue Danyang as soon as possible." His Majesty is now in the lonely city of Danyang, and the situation is critical. When the minister left Danyang, the Tang army was already about to surround Danyang City, a full 200,000 Tang Dynasty elites, and His Majesty in the city only had 80,000 people, and most of these 80,000 people were Du Fuwei's cronies, and only 8,000 people were loyal to His Majesty. His Majesty is in critical condition. Lord Wangshangshu sent rescue soldiers to rescue him early. ”

Hearing that the situation in Danyang City was so critical, Zuo Youxian was also very anxious in his heart, and he ordered: "Beat the drum and gather the generals, prepare to send troops to Danyang, and King Qin will rescue you." ”

After gathering the generals' drums, the generals in Huiji City came to Zuo Youxian's tent together.

Zuo Youxian sat on the handsome seat and said to the generals: "Your Majesty is trapped in Danyang City, and now you have sent a messenger to ask us to save King Qin. Everyone is His Majesty's confidants, everyone talks about how to save it? How many soldiers and horses were sent to the rescue? How long does it take to prepare for the soldiers and horses to be ready? ”

Chen Zhengtong, the confidant general of Fu Gongyou and the deputy governor of Yuezhou, stood up and said, "My lord, what else is there to discuss? The situation is so critical, of course, the 50,000 Jianghuai elites have all been pulled out, and in terms of time, of course, the sooner the better, at this time, Your Majesty is the most important. ”

The other generals also chimed in: "What the deputy governor said is very true, and it should be so." Your Majesty is in danger, the situation in the lonely city of Danyang is dangerous, and at this time, you should really pull out all of them, and King Qin will save you. ”

Zuo Youxian looked at the generals with unified opinions, and said after a moment: "That's good, all the 50,000 Jianghuai elites will be pulled, and tomorrow morning, the troops will be sent to Danyang, and King Qin will rescue them." ”

All the generals bowed together and saluted, "I will obey your lordship's orders." ”

After the generals left, the Jianghuai army camp stationed in Huiji Mountain suddenly became lively, and the troops were gathered one by one, without the sound of the trumpets and drums of the evening drill, and the military tents covering the mountain had all been pulled up, the armored war horses had been neatly equipped, fed and brushed, and the horses' hooves had all been wrapped in three layers of coarse cloth and neatly arranged in the school military field; The knights checked their swords and bows under their horses; In addition to the masks and food bags, the hoplites' full armor was already on their bodies, and they were busy checking each other, tidying up the loose parts that made a slight noise; The thick smoke drifted in the wind, and the aroma of a large pot of stewed meat filled the barracks.

On the second day, the sky had just dawned, and Zuo Youxian, the secretary of the Song Army, the ambassador of the Southeast Province, and the governor of Yuezhou, wore a crown on his head, wore a python robe, pedaled his boots, and rode a flower-maned horse to the Jianghuai army camp stationed in Huiji Mountain.

Zuo Youxian entered the handsome camp and just sat down. Chen Zhengtong, the deputy governor of Yuezhou, reported to Zuo You Xianyu: "The army is ready to stop, please give the order to start." ”

Zuo Youxian picked up the arrow from the order barrel and was about to give the order to the whole army to pull out.

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves outside the big tent was abnormal. Zuo Youxian was still groaning, and there was an urgent report outside the camp gate: "General Xunjiang is urgent..."

As soon as the words fell, I saw a person stumbling into the camp, and after seeing Zuo Youxian, he howled and cried: "My lord, something is wrong..."

The tent was stunned. Zuo Youxian was very irritable, and shouted angrily: "Defeated, what's the big deal?" Say. ”

"Report to your lordship." The man choked up and said, "A large number of our ships suddenly appeared on the river, and these ships belong to my Danyang Navy." The Danyang Navy was defeated, and His Majesty in Danyang City may have encountered an accident. ”

The huge military tent suddenly fell silent.

In the deathly silence, Zuo Youxian was at a loss, and he secretly said in his heart: "Could it be that the Tang army is so powerful that it defeated my Danyang naval army so quickly and broke through Danyang City." Danyang City, surrounded by water on three sides, the naval army accounts for eighty percent of the Danyang garrison, the naval army is defeated, what will happen to Your Majesty? Will it escape? Huiji is the foundation of His Majesty, I can't act rashly, I must guard the last foundation for Your Majesty. With Huiji, His Majesty who escaped will have the capital to make a comeback. ”

Thinking of this, he slowly put down the hand holding the arrow, and put the arrow back into the barrel.

At the same time, the Fugongyou forces in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River also saw the defeated Danyang naval warships on the Yangtze River. Everyone stood firm and sent scouts to Danyang to inquire about the news.

Under the city of Danyang, on the vast plain under the cover of night, the Tang army shouted horses neighing, torches were in the sky, drums shouted and killed the earth shook the earth, and the lights on the head of Danyang City were also continuous, and the Tang army and the Jianghuai army supported the army of Fu Gongyou were fighting to the death. Both sides were steaming with blood, their eyes were red, they shouted hoarsely, and they both waved their knives and guns fiercely like dumb people, slashing and slashing fiercely. All the bows and arrows were soaked in blood, and the arrows that were shot out fluttered in the air like drunks. The swords had been cut to pieces of iron, and they didn't bother to replace them. Everyone was killed in the dark, and the blood penetrated the armor, and then everyone simply dropped off their armor, shirtless, and slashed with their heads! But within a moment, they all turned into bloody people, and even Bai Sensen's two rows of teeth became blood-red.

On the high platform under the city, Li Jing said to Li Xiaogong: "Danyang is elite, famous all over the world, and when I see it today, it really deserves its name." In Danyang City, there are only 8,000 Danyang elites who support Fu Gongyou. However, these 8,000 people actually stopped the 200,000 elites of our Datang Dynasty from attacking day and night for more than ten days, and their combat effectiveness and tenacity could really shock the whole world. ”

Li Xiaogong said: "These eight thousand Danyang elites are indeed powerful, but after more than ten days of fighting, they should not have much left." Li Xuan's strategy of abandoning the ship should have been effective, otherwise Fu Gongyou's henchmen and generals should have appeared under Danyang City at this time. Without the 8,000 people who support themselves, there will be no Fu Gongyou in Danyang City, and the reinforcements will not arrive for a long time. ”

At this point, he turned to the herald and ordered, "Order the army to stop the attack and leave a gap in the southeast." ”

Li Ji asked: "Metropolitan Governor, leave a gap?" ”

Li Xiaogong replied: "Yes, leave a gap." Tonight, when Fu Gongyou saw the gap, he would definitely flee from Danyang City overnight. Let Li Daozong lead 10,000 elite soldiers to set up an ambush five miles southeast of the gap, and my 50,000 cavalry of the Tang Dynasty will also prepare in advance tonight, ready to hunt down and kill the traitor Fu Gongyou at any time. ”

Li Ji asked again: "Set up an ambush five miles southeast of the gap?" The Governor thought that Fu Gongyou would run southeast. ”

Li Xiaogong replied affirmatively: "Huiji, the old nest of Fu Gongyou." He's going to run away. ”
