Just when Yuwen Chengdu gathered the troops of Xu Guo and arrived in Changwu, Xue Ju of Longyou was also making the biggest gamble of his life at this time!

After pretending to surrender to the Chen Dynasty, Xue Ju welcomed back his two sons, Xue Rengao and Xue Renyue. Subsequently, Xue raised the troops of the whole country and really poured out the country, and the remaining 80,000 troops of Western Qin were all assembled, and then attacked Liu Wuzhou's old nest Lingwu.

Xue Ju personally took command, drove the expedition in person, and rode 40,000 horses each. Prince Rengao was the deputy marshal, and King Renyue of Jin was the vanguard general. Shangshu ordered Hao Ying to be the chief of the march, the general Chang Zhongju as the marching Sima, and the general Zong Luohu as the deputy vanguard. All the rest of the civil and military forces also followed, and Xue Ju even brought his wife and concubines with him.

Obviously, for Xue Ju, this time, if he doesn't succeed, he will become a benevolent. If you lose the bet, you won't even want your hometown, and you will have to go into exile in the Saiwai grassland. In fact, Western Qin is indeed a foreign strong cadre at this time, and in the previous Western Qin in the many years of battle with Guanzhong, almost also lost more and won less, although it occupied a geographical advantage, and Liu Wuzhou secretly worked together to suppress Yu Wenhua, but it is a fact that Longxi is barren. After many years of continuous wars, although Xue Ju's father and son fought fiercely, it was indeed not a matter to govern the government, coupled with the congenital weakness of Longshang, the Western Qin State had already reached the edge. The battle of Jitou Mountain, coupled with the total of 50,000 soldiers killed in Chang'an, was the last straw that pressed the camel.

In this raid on Liu Wuzhou, Xue Ju brought all the soldiers who could fight, and all the food that could be eaten.

But that last of the grain. It's only two months.

Either. took Lingwu, destroyed Liu Wuzhou, robbed Liu Wuzhou's grain territory, and salted fish turned over. Either die on the battlefield or starve to death on the Loess Plateau.

However, not many people know the true situation of the Western Qin army, and most of the Western Qin soldiers who followed the emperor on the expedition were highly motivated and determined to win.

Xue Ju's first battle against Liu Wuzhou was a beautiful victory.

The crown prince Xue Rengao personally led 10,000 light horsemen and flew to attack Lingwu.

Xue Rengao had previously done it against Yuwen Chengtoe. The defeat and capture of the army can be described as the greatest shame for him. This time he was put back by Chen Jun, and he always held a fire in his heart. After obtaining the right to lead the troops, he immediately led 10,000 light cavalry to attack Lingwu County.

The first battle. The 10,000 light cavalry was just a charge, and Xue Rengao had rushed into the city before the defenders of Mingsha City could come and close the city gates. Liao Liao, the defender of the small city of Mingsha County, couldn't stop a peerless general like Xue Rengao at all.

However, in the time of a pillar of incense, Xue Rengao had already slaughtered all the people in the city who could see it, and then left a ruined and bloody city to leave.

Mingsha, Feng'an, Huile.

Within half a day, Xue Rengao broke three cities in Lingwu County in a row.

Then when Hou Zhou Tanma just rushed back to Lingwu City to report the news, he was killed. Liu Wuzhou personally went to the city to command the defense, but Xue Rengao didn't see that Liu Wuzhou was fine, and when he saw him, he was even more angry. In the first battle of Jitou Mountain, the Xue Rengao brothers and the Western Qin army always rushed to the forefront. Liu Wuzhou was in charge of commanding the Zhou army of the rear army that day. But at the critical time, the Zhou army was unable to keep up with the support several times, which made Xue Rengao fall into the siege of the Xu army several times.

Finally, after the reinforcements of the Xu army arrived, the Xue Rengao brothers fought bloodily with the Qin army, but Liu Wuzhou, who was supposed to come forward to meet the breakthrough, abandoned the army and fled. If it weren't for Liu Wuzhou, Xue Rengao was confident that with 50,000 troops in hand, even if he couldn't defeat Yuwen Chengtoe, he would never have lost his entire army, and even the humiliating experience of being captured by the enemy.

A former ally, now an enemy.

Enemies meet. Extraordinarily red eyes.

With a horizontal sword, Xue Rengao took off his heavy armor and howled and climbed the ladder to the city wall shirtless. During this period, he was pushed down from the city three times, but each time he was answered by the prince's guards below, and then rushed to the city again with a howl.

Under Xue Rengao's desperate killing. The morale of the Qin army was high, and the siege lasted only half a day. At dusk, when it was dark, Lingwu City had already been breached. Liu Wuzhou once again escaped from the battle, taking advantage of the chaos, Liu Wuzhou took a small number of soldiers and horses to fly to the northeast.

Liu Wuzhou fled in front, and Xue Rengao chased behind. Leaving behind the Lingwu he had just taken, Xue Rengao followed closely with three thousand light horsemen.

That night, Liu Wuzhou fled into Hongjing City, and Xue Rengao was then killed. Liu Wu Zhou resisted the city in the middle of the night, and then fled out of the city with his guards at dawn.

Liu Wuzhou fled along the Yellow River into Huaiyuan, and Xue Rengao arrived like a shadow. After resisting like this for a long time, Huaiyuan was broken, and Liu Wuzhou fled again.

Crossing the Yellow River and crossing Helan Mountain, Liu Wuzhou was chased like a lost dog and fled in a hurry. The last one got into the vast Gobi and fled all the way to the east.

Three days later, Liu Wuzhou, who had only half a life left, walked out of the Gobi and fled to Wuyuan County.

However, before he could take a breath, Xue Rengao, who was only carrying less than 3,000 people by his side, appeared again. This time, Liu Wuzhou didn't even resist, and directly changed his horse and fled out of the city.

Yongfeng, Jiuyuan, Wuyuan, Feng'an, Woye, Datong.

I have to say that Liu Wuzhou's fighting may not be considered first-class, but his ability to escape can definitely be regarded as first-class. Although he almost fell into the hands of Xue Rengao several times, every time Xue Rengao saw that he was about to catch Liu Wuzhou, he was always a little bit behind.

In the end, the two sides chased and fled, and fled until they reached Yulin City.

Seeing that Xue Rengao had the intention of not giving up if he was caught, Liu Wuzhou almost collapsed. Standing on the Yuguan Pass by the Yellow River, he looked around blankly, but found that the loyal subordinates who followed him at the end were actually less than a hundred people.

And all the way from Lingwu in the west to this Yuguan, but suddenly found that there was no way to escape.

At the beginning, he seized the territory of Liang Shidu and other allied brothers, and once owned most of the territory of Longshang and Hedong, with more than ten counties and hundreds of counties. But now, the east of Yuguan is the Yellow River, and after crossing the Yellow River, it is already the east of the river that belongs to Chen Pojun. To the south, there are Diaoyin, Shuofang counties. It was also his territory originally, but now, Chen Pojun's banner is now planted there.

The world is so big that there is no place for him for a while.

Seeing that there was smoke and dust in the west again, Xue Rengao, who was asking for his life, chased down again. Liu Wuzhou was never willing to fall into the hands of Xue Rengao, the father and son of the Xue family were more brutal than the other, and Xue Rengao could be said to be the most brutal of the three fathers and sons of the Xue family. Killing people is not enough, but it can fall into his hands, and then he will know that death is actually a kind of relief.

Peeling the skin and removing the bones, peeling the skin and cramping, what kind of Ling Chi is broken, and the methods used by Xue Rengao, are really nothing. If it falls into the hands of Xue Rengao, it will really be impossible to survive and die. In the end, it will be roasted and fried by him, cooked alive, and eaten by others.

The smoke and dust were getting closer and closer, and Liu Wuzhou could even see the bitter hatred under Xue Rengao's cold eyes.

Hum.

For some reason, Liu Wuzhou actually smiled at this time. For no reason, he suddenly remembered the days when he was in Mayi.

At that time, he was just a lieutenant and a subordinate of Wang Rengong. At that time, he always relied on being a wealthy family in Mayi, and he always felt that he was the second in the world. Even a general like Wang Rengong was not in his eyes, and when Wang Rengong went to Luoyang to gather, he secretly cheated with Wang Rengong's concubine.

Now that I think about it, if it weren't for Wang Rengong who met Chen Pojun in Luoyang and never returned, I believe he might have died in the hands of the man who is now praised as one of the ten marshals of Da Chen.

Later, Wang Rengong left, and Li Shimin came. He followed Li Shimin's men, although he also wanted to serve the Li family, but that damn Li Er always looked at him. He was born and died for him several times, but Li Shimin treated him as nothing.

Think about it, he can finally come to this day, it seems that Chen Pojun is one of the key people. If he hadn't sent someone to instigate Li Yuan's rebellion, maybe he would still be a small general now, and maybe he would have died in the chaos of the last days. Maybe like that Chai Shao, Li Xiaogong and others, he is now a member of Chen Jiang.

Damn Chen Pojun, all this may have been expected by him. Otherwise, why would Chen Pojun's ability not be able to see his plan. This damn Chen Pojun, he is the informant behind the scenes, and he Liu Wuzhou is just the puppet in his hands. He is like a chess piece in Chen Pojun's hand, although he feels that he is unparalleled in the world, in fact, everything is just walking according to the chessboard drawn by the world.

Did Chen Pojun also expect today's ending?

Hero's End! Liu Wuzhou immediately remembered this word in his head, but he couldn't help but think, can he, Liu Wuzhou, be considered a hero? What will future generations say? How will the history books be written? Rebels and thieves, rebels and thieves?

Damn, it's just a matter of success and defeat after all.

Raising his wrist, the long sword was already on his neck, but in the end, he couldn't give up his heart after a few stretches of his hand.

The number of souls who died at his hands under this sword has long been unknown, and he has never hesitated. But now, when it was his turn, he hesitated and was timid. If you are cruel to others, it is better to be ruthless to yourself after all. "Alas!" Bells!

Liu Wuzhou threw down the sword in his hand in a dejected manner, with a self-deprecating sneer, laughing at himself that he didn't even have the courage to commit suicide in the end.

"Bang!"

Xue Rengao stepped on top of Yuguan with a long sword in his hand, but the last thing he saw was not Liu Wuzhou kneeling in front of him begging for mercy, nor did he see Liu Wuzhou finally raise his sword in despair and kill himself. He only came to see the familiar figure jumping into the Yellow River with a log in his arms. The whole person was floating and sinking in the yellow and turbid river, and finally gradually turned into a small black dot until it disappeared.

"Phew!" Xue Rengao's face was as pale as ice, and it wasn't until a long time later that he spit out a mouthful of phlegm at the Yellow River, with indescribable contempt in his eyes. rs
