When Meng Bochang died violently under the city of Suizhou, Yang Hao was eating wine and listening to songs in the Linzhou Thorn Mansion hundreds of miles away.

The women of Linzhou are beautiful, and Shi Xiong's meat is also fragrant, but Yang Hao's heart is not a taste at the moment, the purpose of his trip is to persuade Shi Xiong to send troops to attack Lanzhou, Hedong, of course, it is not really an attack, just a posture, make a show, Lanzhou is the northwest gate of Taiyuan, the distance between the two places is only three hundred miles, Taiyuan Mansion is the root of Hedong, the city is high and deep, the population is large, and there are heavy troops, and it is not an overnight thing to take Taiyuan.

Hedong has nearly 100,000 troops, although twice defeated in their own hands, but the strength can not be underestimated, half of the 100,000 army is under the fortified city, Yang Hao has less than 20,000 troops in his hands, and it is far away from the base of the away battle, the victory or defeat is really unpredictable, the best way to win is to design the troops stationed around Taiyuan to disperse, and then choose its weak points, one by one annihilation, and so on to exhaust the elite of Hedong, and then take Taiyuan is as easy as a hand,

Shi Xiong sent Yang Hao to attack Hedong, he persuaded: "Although Hedong is strong and strong, it does not pose any threat to you and me. ”

Yang Hao could not tell him about the Uighurs' plans, so he could only falsely say that Dong Bacheng was reorganizing his army and showing signs of going north again, and Shi Xiong said: "If he dares to raise troops to the north again, I will personally raise an army and fight him to the death in Hedong, and never die." ”

Speaking of this, Yang Hao knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he was also discouraged, and the banquet broke up unhappily, Yang Hao didn't immediately say to leave, although Shi Xiong was unwilling to send troops to help him capture Hedong, but also expressed his determination to advance and retreat with him, if he left at this moment, wouldn't he even be a brother, Yang Hao smiled strongly, and returned to the guest house with a singer in one hand.

After frolicking with the two singers for a while, Yang Hao sent the two back under the pretext of being tired.

Zhang Lang adjusted the footwashing water and was about to serve Yang Hao to wash his feet, when Yang Hao suddenly jumped up and said, "Prepare the horse and go to Xiaochang'an." ”

Zhang Lang didn't understand why Yang Hao changed his mind again, and asked, "Does General Shi want to explain over there?" ”

"No need, leave someone behind, and if he comes to ask and tell him tomorrow morning, he will say that I have an urgent matter, and I don't have time to say goodbye to him in person."

Midnight, Little Chang'an,

Li Changlin, the commander of the Breaking Wave Battalion, had just finished inspecting the camp and lay down, when he suddenly heard Yang Hao arrive at the judgment hall, and hurriedly got up from the quilt to meet him, and saw that Yang Hao, Zhang Lang and others were neatly dressed and armored, and said with some trepidation: "The last general is tired of his duties, please forgive the general." ”

Yang Hao said with a smile: "You sleep alone, but your subordinates still keep their eyes open and don't dare to slack off, this is the ability to be a general." ”

Not long ago, Li Changlin went out with Zhuang Yunqing to conquer the Quze Department in the northwest of Helan Mountain, and swept thousands of people in the Quze Department with a battalion of men and horses. ”

Li Changlin replied: "Excluding the two sentinels who rushed to Suizhou, there are still more than 600 people left. ”

Yang Hao nodded and said: "Leave a sentry to guard the city, and the rest of the men and horses will immediately go south to seize Yulin Town and stand by." ”

Li Changlin didn't say a word, got up and said, "My subordinates will go and prepare." Then he asked, "Who will defend the city here?" ”

Yulin Town is under the jurisdiction of Suizhou, the defenders are 120 people, Li Changlin effortlessly attacked the big camp in the town, captured 120 garrisons, the sky is just Ma Ma Liang, the south of the town opened a group of people, it is the Xia Sui Army Zhao Yong, Zhao Yong was also born in the ghost army, and then followed Meng Bochangtun in Yinzhou, and Xiao Chang'an across the desert, Li Changlin had joined forces with him to suppress the horse bandits, so he was also an acquaintance,

Zhao Yong rode to the city alone, bowed his hand and said: "A certain person came to take Yulin Town on the order of Marshal Meng, and now the general is the first to get it, let the last general go back and explain how to explain, please see how to hand over the city to the last general for the sake of the alliance between the two families, and the last general will not be grateful." ”

Li Changlin replied politely: "I was ordered by General Yang to seize the town to help the war, and Yulin Town is also equivalent to being in the hands of General Yang Dashuai Meng. ”

Zhao Yong scolded when he heard this: "Despicable villain, Meng Dashuai has been killed by you, and you are still acting here, it is really disgusting." Zhao Yong turned his horse back to his team, and Xia Suijun opened his posture and began to attack the city.

There are earthen walls around Yulin Town, the wall is not high, but it is still more than enough to deal with the horse team, Li Changlin can't hold out, Zhao Yongyuan rushed to kill several waves and couldn't break the city, so he retreated and camped five miles,

Wu Mei, the supervisor of the Breaking Wave Battalion, heard that Meng Bochang was dead, and thought to himself: "Li Changlin was originally a ghost army, and was later subdued by Meng Bochang, so he has today's wealth, he has always been grateful for Meng Bochang's old feelings, if he defects at this critical juncture, he must affect me." ”

So he sent someone to Yang Hao to secretly report that Meng Bochang was dead, and on the other hand, he found Wu Chenlu, the head of the second sentry post, to discuss, Wu Chenlu and Wu Mei had no relatives and no reason, but Wu Mei insisted on climbing relatives with him on the grounds of the same surname and the same clan, Wu Chenlu heard Wu Mei's tone was suspected that Li Changlin was going to rebel, so he said angrily: "General Li is loyal to the adult, how can he do something rebellious." ”

Seeing that he was not speaking well, Umei hurriedly changed his words: "I don't suspect that he is going to rebel, but I am afraid that those who do not know the truth will coerce him to do foolish things, so I take precautions and have no other intentions. ”

Wu Chenlu didn't want to stiffen with him, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "What does the Lord of the Overseer want the last general to do, just give orders." ”

Wu Mei said: "Before General Li set out on the expedition, he left the guards in Xiaochang'an, and there were only three or five guards by his side, so you immediately allocated thirty people to the Chinese army to prevent someone from coercing General Li to make it difficult." The words were above board, Wu Chenlu could only agree, and when he went out, Wu Mei added: "If there is any change, report me immediately." ”

After listening to Zhao Yong's words, Li Changlin also had doubts in his heart, so he called his cronie Li Yue to the tent, and was asking him to inquire about it, when there was a sudden noise outside the tent, only to see thirty soldiers break into the big tent of the Chinese army, lined up in front of the tent, Wu Chenlu walked into the Chinese army tent alone, Li Yue panicked, pulled out a knife to block his way, Li Changlin asked: "What are you doing." Wu Chenlu knelt down on one knee and said, "The prison army suspects that the general intends to rebel, and orders me to monitor the general's every move in the name of protection." ”

Li Changlin snorted coldly and said, "Since you are asked to monitor, you are obedient, why bother to tell me again." ”

Wu Chenlu said with tears in his eyes: "The lowly post is a person who deserves to be convicted and killed, but fortunately, General Meng did not give up to get to where he is today, how can he see that the general is in trouble and not say a word." Li Changlin picked up Wu Chenlu and sighed: "I am loyal, but I was suspected by a traitor, if you hadn't given up your life to repay me, I was almost killed by him, but Lord Yang has nothing to be sorry for me, how can I bear to leave." ”

Wu Chenlu said: "The difference between the general's words, if it weren't for the intention of the above, how could Wu Mei dare to move this evil thought, if the general doesn't make a decision early, he is only afraid that he will die and have no place to be buried." ”

Li Yue also persuaded: "Wumei is a shameless villain, on the day of Zhuang Yunqing's birthday, he used pure gold to create a longevity peach risk, only today, when the west expedition to Quze, the general cut the pass and seized the land and made great contributions, Zhuang Yunqing as the commander but repeatedly made mistakes, his heart has long been resentful, although the general is loyal, but it is inevitable that he will be framed by the villain, for the sake of today's plan to leave here first, and then make plans." ”

Li Changlin sighed, and then opened the door with Wu Chenlu and Li Yue overnight and fled south.

Wumei learned that Li Changlin absconded, his heart was terrified, abandoned the city and went north, before the trip did not know the sentinels, at dawn, the outposts found that the unified army, the prison army had fled without a trace, a moment of chaos, Zhao Yong took advantage of the situation to attack the city, the dragons in the city were leaderless, and they were suddenly defeated, Zhao Yong chased and killed dozens of miles, beheaded more than 100 people,

Wumei rushed all the way back to Xiaochang'an, Yang Hao was shocked when he learned of Meng Bochang's death, but he didn't believe it very much in his heart, and was about to send someone to verify, but he saw Li Wei also hurrying over.

After the death of Meng Bochang, the various departments of the Xia Sui army elected Lian Yong as the commander, surrounded the Suizhou city, attacked day and night, the city of Suizhou was high and deep, although the number of Xia Sui's army was large, but there was no siege weapon, Zhang Bozhong defended with danger, safe and sound for a while, Lian Yong then spread everywhere, and asked the army to gallop to Suizhou in the starry night to avenge the commander, Zhang Bozhong knew that Suizhou would be broken sooner or later, and did not dare to give up without authorization, so he sent Li Weixing to Xiao Chang'an at night to ask Yang Hao for instructions,

Yang Hao urgently ordered the Flying Tiger Battalion, which was rushing to Xiaochang'an, to turn to attack Xiazhou, the Xiaocai Battalion to attack Yinzhou, the Tiger Battalion to attack Youzhou, the Leopard Battalion to aid Suizhou, and the Leopard Battalion to rush to Suizhou, and the Capture Battalion and the Fengya Battalion to go south to station in Xiaochang'an, and ordered Li Wei to order Zhang Bozhong to hold on and wait for help.

Zhang Bozhong saw Yang Hao's secret order, and was silent, Fang Litian asked Li Wei: "My lord can explain what Wu Cao should do if he can't defend the city." ”

Li Wei shook his head and said, "This adult didn't say it. ”

Fang Litian rubbed his hands and said, "This person knows too much, if he is allowed to fall into the hands of others, he will have endless troubles in the future." ”

Zhang Bozhong ordered Li Wei: "Bring him to me immediately." ”

……

Suizhou Terracotta Embassy,

Thirteen Niang, who was wearing heavy makeup, twisted her waist and swung her hips and walked to the back door, behind her Wu Cao men dressed as women lowered their heads and followed closely, before anyone arrived, the incense smelled first, and the soldiers guarding the door all widened their eyes, everyone knew that Thirteen Niang was the new soldier and horse envoy Wu Cao's woman, but no one regarded her as a serious person, all of them were gluttonous, staring at her like flies,

Thirteen Niang doesn't care about these, with a thin waist and fat buttocks, swinging more happily,

Wu Chang stopped her and asked with a grin, "Where is Madame?" ”

Thirteen Niang glanced at him: "Where am I going, do you care?" ”

Wu Chang touched a nail, which caused everyone to laugh, Wu Chang's face was a little unbearable, so he said officially: "There is an order from the peak, no one is allowed to go out without a waist card, you better go back." ”

"I have an adult's warrant." Thirteen Niang smiled, took out a note with body fragrance from the bandeau, and handed it to Wu Chang, Wu Chang hurriedly picked up the handkerchief and sniffed it under his nose, and his heart was drunk for a while, he didn't know how to read, pretended to glance at it, and returned the note to Thirteen Niang, and said with some embarrassment: "You don't have a token, so I am very embarrassed." As he spoke, he held up Thirteen Niang's soft little hand, put it under his nose and sniffed greedily,

Thirteen Niang sneered and asked, "My hands are not fragrant." ”

All the soldiers coaxed together: "Incense, incense, really fragrant." ”

Wu Chang dispersed the crowd aggressively, and said to Thirteen Niang: "That's it, since there is a warrant from Master Wu, I will make an exception." Thirteen Niang smiled, Qianqianyu fingered on Wu Chang's face, and said in a soft greasy voice: "The general's great kindness, Thirteen Niang will never forget it in her life." ”

Wu Chang was touched by her and was itchy and unbearable, and wanted to catch her hand, but was lightly dodged by Thirteen Niang, wanted to hug her waist, and was pushed away by Thirteen Niang, he was annoyed in his heart, and suddenly saw Wu Cao's eyes flickering behind Thirteen Niang, and his appearance was suspicious, so he shouted: "Who is she, why did she dodge when she saw me." ”

Thirteen Niang's face changed, she hurriedly dragged his hand, and said in a coquettish voice: "She is my rough girl, who came to carry my luggage for me, when you see you, the general, can you not dodge if you are afraid." ”

When Thirteen Niang spoke, her body was close to Wu Chang, and her soft chest touched Wu Chang's hand several times,

Wu Chang swallowed greedily and said to Wu Cao in a cold voice, "You can go." ”
