The Yellow River, Gudu, Long Bridge Flying Frame.

Jin Ge, iron horse, battle flag flying.

Chen Kedi immediately glanced back at the Yellow River and the rope bridge that were gradually moving away behind him, and slowly lowered the delicate mask on the helmet with his right hand that was shining with a bright horizontal sword, and then with a force of his legs, the spurs on his combat boots stabbed on the belly of the horse.

The fierce and majestic horse was in pain, and with a roar, he opened his hooves and rushed forward with all his might. Behind him, there were two flying black battle flags, on the left was a huge wolf's head banner with hideous wolf fangs, and on the right was a sky wolf embroidered with ribbed wings. The 10,000 vanguard elite light horsemen who had all flown across the Yellow River, under the first wisp of the morning light of the newt, were like wolves and tigers, and under the guidance of the battle flag, they formed a torrent and galloped away with the young commander.

Stepping across the Yellow River, Chen Jun's secret elite soldiers and horses had already entered Longshang.

This time, Chen Jun can be described as a strange soldier and does not take an ordinary path.

The land under the feet belongs to Longshang Diaoyin County, at the end of the Sui Dynasty, it was originally the territory of Liang Shidu, and later Liang Shidu formed an alliance with Liu Wuzhou, but in the end it was annexed by Liu Wuzhou, and this Diaoyin also became Liu Wuzhou's territory. When Liu Wuzhou was defeated and fled from Hedong, Dou Hongxian led a team of Turkic elite soldiers across the river to Hedong to respond.

After Liu Wuzhou fled back to Longshang, in order to prevent Chen's army from following his retreat to Longshang, he also stationed 3,000 armor soldiers in Yanfu City in Hexi. However, in the past thousand years, the river course has changed and is no longer suitable for crossing the river, and ordinary small groups of 100 horsemen and horses can cross, but it is difficult for large troops to sneak in. That's why. The defenders of Yanfu City, stationed eighty miles away on the west bank of the river, never really thought that Chen's army would attack from here.

Longshang and Guanzhong, Longyou, also known as Guanlong since ancient times.

There are Tongguan, Wuguan, Sanguan, Xiaoguan four stops, plus Longshang, Longyou as the basis. It has always been an easy place to defend and difficult to attack.

Historically, according to the relevant middle, there is also the same land of Longshang and Longyou.

However, in the chaotic times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, all the heroes competed for hegemony, and at the beginning Yu Wenhua and Guanzhong, it was a clever intention, plus Liang Shidu, Zhang Changxun, Liu Zihe, Xue Ju and others were also heroes, therefore, although Yuwen was based in Guanzhong. But so far, it has still failed to win the two territories of Longshang and Longyou.

Due to the topography, although there is no Longshang and Longyou in Guanzhong, it can go out of Tongguan and Wuguan, Sanguan to capture the Central Plains, Hedong, and even Hanzhong. However, Longshang and Longyou were blocked by Guanzhong and the Yellow River, and could not directly lead to the Central Plains.

In this way, the result is that Guan Zhongyu Wen's clan has always been on the defensive between Xue Ju and Liu Wuzhou, but Liu Wuzhou occupies the plateau. has always looked down on the Yuwen family, and the center of gravity has always been on the three counties of Shangjun, Beidi, and Anding, which are at the forefront of the Yuwen family. Liu Wuzhou never expected that one day, there would be divine soldiers descending from the sky. It can actually bypass the three major gateways to the east of Guanlong, Tongguan, Wuguan and Xiaoguan. can invade the land of Guanlong without knowing it.

Carrying the rising sun on his back. 10,000 vanguard cavalry are galloping. The flying hooves of the war horses brought up pieces of soil and debris, the earth shook gently, and the golden morning sun rose behind Chen Jun, giving the entire cavalry a layer of golden brilliance.

The large pieces of bright armor on the chests and backs of the soldiers reflected pieces of bright light, making the entire army more brilliant.

Eighty miles away, in a blink of an eye.

The Hou Zhou defenders on Yanfu City had just finished their daily morning exercises, and seven or eight soldiers were standing on the head of the city lazily basking in the sun. Suddenly, an incomparably bright light rushed from the east, and the city wall under his feet was shaking.

A veteran who had participated in several wars rubbed his eyes in disbelief and let out a frightened cry: "Enemy attack! Enemy Attack!! ”

His screams caught the attention of the other nearby defenders, and everyone looked out to see that in the blinding ball of light, the black battle flags loomed, and those who were literate had already recognized the largest of them. Even those who were illiterate recognized the battle flag embroidered with a black eagle at this time.

The black Flying Eagle Battle Flag, that was the military flag of the Chen Dynasty. And the Chen flag, that is the national flag of the Chen Dynasty.

"Bell, bell!" The defenders of the city were all shocked, their faces were like ashes, and the size of the enemy was at least 10,000 people. And the armor is neat, all the cavalry, this is an elite of the Chen army. Although it is not known where this army came from, all the defenders in Yanfu City know that the three thousand old and weak in the city, coupled with this small ruined city, will definitely not be able to block the other party's thunderous blow.

The alarm bell sounded frantically, and the defenders of the four city gates were already desperately closing the city gates and lowering the drawbridge.

Like the autumn wind rolling up the fallen leaves, the 10,000 iron horsemen were like a dark cloud, and soon they were 300 steps away from the city. With a beautiful pause, the neat cavalry of the Chen army had stopped under the city.

"Shoot the arrows, release the arrows!"

The general of the defenders at the head of the city is just a mere captain, and being able to be transferred to such a place as a guard general already shows that this person is either incompetent or unwilling. And looking at his panicked performance now, it has fully demonstrated that he is not only an unsatisfactory general, but also an incompetent officer.

Chen Jun stopped three hundred paces away, and the archers in the city couldn't shoot that far at all, even those few dilapidated Dingyuan crossbows could barely reach the distance.

The soldiers who were also panicked at this time all shot their arrows at once when they heard the officer's order. A few rounds of arrows rained down, but in the open space in front of the empty city gate, a white feather was left, and not even a single hair of Chen Jun was injured.

At this time, the performance of the defenders drew laughter from the cavalry of Chen's army. In the midst of the laughter of the soldiers, a captain carrying a flying eagle battle flag looked like an officer rode forward on horseback, and the captain guarding the city hurriedly shouted and released arrows, but on that horse, Captain Chen galloped, brandished the horse gun in his hand, and in a moment all the seven or eight long arrows that were shot to the side fell to the ground, and then manipulated the war horse to make a wonderful turn at the city gate, leaned forward, and the flying eagle battle flag in his hand was firmly planted on the ground.

After a circle, the knight returned to the banner planted in front of the city gate. Le stopped his horse and shouted towards the city: "Listen to the people in the city, I am under the command of General Chen Kedi, the general of the Great Chen Champion, the Marquis of Dingyuan, and the pioneer general of the expedition to the west. Our general was ordered by the emperor to lead 50,000 vanguards to cross the Yellow River. An army of 100,000 men was coming. If you know each other, you can obediently sacrifice the city, and my general can spare you from dying and keep you rich. Otherwise, after a quarter of an hour, the whole army will attack the city, and after the city is broken, not a single one will be left! ”

The defenders of the city heard that Chen's army had crossed the Yellow River with 50,000 troops. When there were still 100,000 left, I didn't have the heart to think about the truth or falsehood, and my heart was already completely messed up. The lieutenant turned his head to look at the defenders, only to see that they were all full of fear. Morale is gone.

The captain was just a small wealthy landlord in Longshang, and when the Liang division raised troops, he also followed a piece of rebellion, which can be regarded as a meritorious achievement, and mixed up with a large official position. It's a pity that Liang Shidu was later annexed by Liu Wuzhou. Even his subordinates who took Liang Shidu were demoted by Liu Wuzhou from a civil servant to the guard of Yanfu City. A civilian to a military attaché, this is outrageous, not to mention that although his subordinates claim to be three thousand. But in fact, it was all Liang Shidu, Zhang Changxun, Liu Zihe and several other subordinates of the heroes who had seized one side at the beginning, and Liu Wu and Zhou Huo merged their bosses. Break up the trio's subordinates. That's how the 3,000 people stationed here came here. And all of them are old and weak, and they don't even have a serious general.

Before the time limit of a quarter of an hour had expired, the captain at the head of the city had already ordered someone to pick up a white cloth with a spear, raise a white flag and surrender. The rudimentary drawbridge creaked down, and the gates slowly opened.

Chen Kedi was very calm, and did not enter the city immediately, but asked the captain to take all the soldiers and people in the city out of the city to surrender, and then sent a small force into the city to take over the city defense. After confirming that everything was correct, he accepted the surrender of the captain who was already sweating uneasily.

After the surrender, Chen Kedi left a group of 300 people to take over the city defense, and after waiting for the rear army, he took the officers who had just surrendered, and the army set off again, and went straight to the county seat of Diaoyin County.

Fufeng County in the west of Chang'an, Qishan Renshou Palace.

Renshou Palace is a summer palace built by Yang Jian for himself during the opening of the emperor's reign, but since the palace was completed, it is rare to stay once. After Yang Jian and Yang Guang's father and son, Guanzhong was obtained by Yuwen's family. After Yu Wenhua sat as the emperor, unlike Yang Jian and his son, Yang Jian and Yang Guang father and son, no matter what the price behind them was, in fact, these father and son were few people in terms of diligence.

Not to mention the food and clothing, but the day is full of opportunities, but it is a fact. Especially Yang Guang, not only bows to everything, but also likes to inspect the Quartet, and this exquisite Wanshou Palace is even less visited. Now all this is cheap when he was young Yu Wenhua who had the name of Chang'an light and thin son and.

Especially after the recent successful alliance, Yu Wenhua and he was even more elated all day long, and it was a bit of a sudden return to the feeling of more than ten years ago. Excited, he simply left Chang'an these days and moved directly to Renshou Palace in Fufeng County. Although it is already autumn and early winter, it is also a very good enjoyment to take the ministers of the guard to hunt deer and rabbits.

In the hunting ground, Yu Wenhua, who was dressed in military uniform, did not bring his gold-inlaid bow and arrows, but held a slingshot to eject, and as soon as his hand was released, a rabbit that jumped out in front of him fell in response.

King Yuwen of Jin picked up the prey with his toes, rode his horse to Yu Wenhua on the opposite side, and said with a smile: "My father is a good archer, and he will be hit with a bow, and the encirclement will be successful." ”

Yu Wenhua slowly put down the bow and said with a smile: "It ran an extra corner, and your horn blew late just now, so the sergeant who was besieging from the west was one step late." ”

"Father's bullet is not missing, it can't run."

Yu Wenhua shook his head and said to the second son Yu Wencheng, who was not impressed: "The overall situation, our overall situation is set, and there will be no mistakes." If you can't surround it here, no amount of bullets will be useless. You need to practice hunting more, and be familiar with the art of war and scheduling. If you have time to learn the art of war from your third brother in Chengdu, if you can have half of your third brother's skills in the future, I am also pleased. ”

Pulling the bowstring, Yu Wenhua said: "This slingshot of mine was rare in Chang'an City back then, and it was better than me to shoot it, that is, that Li Yuan." It's a pity that although Li Yuan, the old fox, is really powerful, he still didn't have the last laugh in the end. Speaking of which, Li Yuan's sons are indeed very powerful, and our family is a little stronger, but you and your eldest brother are far worse than Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin. ”

Yuwen Chengtoe smiled and said, "Father, if Li Yuan is not dead, he is our henchman's enemy." The sons of Li Yuan's family are really powerful, although Li Yuanba was a little weak back then, but in terms of martial arts alone, he was still above the third brother. That second brother Li Shimin is even more ruthless, he betrayed and betrayed everything, didn't we also suffer a big loss in Taiyuan at the beginning. Li Yuan's father and son are not dead, the Li family is not dead, but our Yuwen clan is difficult to get ahead. However, after all, isn't it still us who have the last laugh, Father, you see, isn't it still us who has the last laugh? ”

Yu Wenhua was a little unimpressed, and sighed: "Daxu? It's just a guanzhong. There was a sense of melancholy in the words.

After several years of raising troops, until now, even Longshang and Longyou have not been able to sweep and win, which has always been a difficult place for Yu Wenhua and his heart. Guan Long, Guan Long, I have to close the middle and can't control Longshang, Longright, after all, it's a big trouble.

"Father, Guanzhong has been in business for several years, and it is solid. As long as Chen Kefu is defeated this time, then not only Hedong will be in his hands, but also Liu Wuzhou and Xue Ju, the two thieves, will not be like the tail of this rabbit, and they will not be able to grow. Yuwen Cheng said with a smile.

"Yes, when will Longshang and Longyou be recovered, and then march into the Central Plains, we have been discussing and preparing for so long, and now we are only waiting for the last opportunity." Yu Wenhua said that there was a smile on his face again, after all, he had waited for so long, and it was finally time for the final harvest, how could he not be happy.

Outside the gate of the hunting ground camp, the prince Yuwen Chengji arrived with a team of guards on horseback, and broke into the camp, and the general of Yulin, Sima Dejiao, shouted sharply behind him: "No one is allowed to lead the army to break into the forbidden garden, the prince please obey the order!" ”

A group of Yulin Army guards blocked Yuwen Chengji's way with spears, and Yuwen Chengji swung his sword to open the spear, and the sound of metal striking echoed in front of the camp.

Sima Dekan said again: "Please dismount the prince!" ”

Yuwen Chengji glared at Sima angrily, but he also knew that this Sima Dekan was Yuan Zuo, who supported his father to raise troops, and he was very respected by the emperor. At that moment, he snorted coldly, and said to the horse: "If you have an urgent matter, you should meet Your Majesty immediately, and ask the general to report on your behalf!" ”……)
