Xu Yuanlang's army actually didn't have much road from Meng Haigong, one was in Xie Ji, the other was in Dayi, and the distance was only a hundred miles, but the two suffered the same, Xu Yuanlang was also attacked by Luo Shixin.

However, unlike Meng Haigong, Xu Yuanlang still insisted for a long time, after all, it was close to Dongping, Xu Yuanlang was still very familiar with this area, Luo Shixin's army was killed, Xu Yuanlang was ready, a part of the cavalry was in front, infantry was behind, bows and arrows were fired, in a short period of time, it was really difficult for Luo Shixin to break through Xu Yuanlang's defense.

But soon, this situation was broken, and more than a thousand remnants of soldiers rushed over from behind, led by a banner with the word "Meng", and it was Meng Haigong who escaped at this time.

"Damn." Xu Yuanlang looked at Meng Haigong's rout and killed, his face was much gloomy, and he couldn't help but curse secretly, but he still ordered someone to let Meng Haigong in, at least, Meng Haigong still has more than 1,000 people around him, and he can also help him resist one or two.

"Brother Xu, Emperor Tang personally led the army to kill, and mine, my soldiers and horses were scattered by him." Meng Haigong's armor was crooked, and he said loudly: "There are many soldiers and horses, and they have been killed together, and I have no way to resist it at all." ”

"How does Li Xin know where we are?" Xu Yuanlang said loudly: "Is Jinyiwei really powerful? Isn't it amazing to know where we are? ”

"What does Brother Xu suspect?" Meng Haigong said loudly.

"There must be someone who doesn't let us live, it's Xu Shiji's guy, our soldiers and horses have more than 100,000 people, if Xu Shiji destroys you and me, more than 100,000 people and horses in Shandong will fall into his hands." Xu Yuanlang gritted his teeth and said.

"So what now?" Meng Haigong said cautiously: "It's better for us to retreat now and go back to our own territory." Let Li Xin and Li Yuan fight, Shandong will still be our Shandong. ”

"If you want to escape at this moment, I'm afraid you and I will be destroyed by the two of us before we get to the place." Xu Yuanlang glanced at the distance, and saw that Luo Shixin's army had stopped in the distance, without attacking or retreating, he couldn't help but say, "Will Li Xin's soldiers and horses catch up?" ”

"Probably not!" Meng Haigong hesitated for a while. said: "I brought more than 1,000 soldiers from my side, and the rest of the soldiers can hold out for a while." ”

"No, Li Xin will definitely kill us, this is a trap, Li Xin just wants to swallow us." Xu Yuanlang is cunning by nature, otherwise, he would not have been able to occupy Yanzhou, and when Meng Haigong killed, he knew that something was wrong. Said loudly: "Retreat slowly." If Luo Shixin takes the opportunity to attack, we will abandon the infantry and lead the cavalry to break through. Stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood. ”

As soon as Xu Yuanlang's words fell, the earth shook, Xu Yuanlang looked over, but saw that Luo Shixin began to attack. He was about to order the army to resist, but when he saw Meng Haigong looking behind him with horrified eyes, he turned around. I saw a group of cavalry rushing behind me, and the cavalry roared. The person at the head holds the Fang Tian painting halberd, and his posture is heroic.

"Tang Emperor Li Xin." Xu Yuanlang couldn't help but recite a word in his mouth, and glanced at Meng Haigong with a hint of frustration in his expression, and in a moment, both of them fell into the front and back attacks.

"Yes, let's go. is to fall, just wait for Brother Xu's decision. Meng Haigong sighed, his subordinates were in disarray, and in the battle just now, his subordinates were frightened by Li Xin's ferocity. At this time, it is almost impossible to let yourself and others fight together.

"Withdraw, get out of here quickly, Li Xin's soldiers and horses are tens of thousands." Xu Yuanlang thought about it, and said loudly: "If he attacks on a large scale, I will definitely surrender him, but he is only tens of thousands of horses, and he is not our opponent at all, surrender him now, sooner or later he will die at the hands of Li Yuanji and Xu Shiji, it is better to leave here quickly, and let Xu Shiji send troops to besiege Li Xin." ”

There were 10,000 troops around him, but they were not as good as Li Xin's tens of thousands of troops, and they were all cavalry, and the two of them didn't even have a chance to resist at the moment, so they turned around and left, and under the escort of their own soldiers, they looked for a gap and quickly fled.

The war disappeared in just half an hour, Luo Shixin looked at the captured soldiers, his face showed a trace of disdain, came to Li Xin's horse, arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, Xu Yuanlang and Meng Haigongzhong have escaped in the chaos, and the last general is incompetent and has not caught the two. ”

"Forget it, if you don't kill them, Xu Shiji will kill them too." Li Xin said indifferently: "Xu Shiji himself asked me to weaken the strength of the two, and it is better to defeat them now, Xu Shiji will also use the excuse to kill them." Hehe, Xu Shiji is a good idea, wanting to make me and the warlords in Shandong lose both, but I am not so easy to use. ”

"Your Majesty, we are all cavalry, and most of these captives are infantry, if we bring them all, I am afraid it will affect the pace of our march." Luo Shixin looked at the captives in the distance, frowned slightly and said.

"Let them all go! Tell them that I will go home and not be enemies of our army in the future, and if I become enemies of our army again, I will definitely kill them. Li Xin rolled his eyes and waved his hand and said.

Luo Shixin was about to say something, but seeing that Li Xin had already made a decision, he naturally did not dare to object. Ordered people to collect all the armor and other things on these guys' bodies, and then let these guys go.

"Your Majesty, these guys are all bandits, if they are released, I am afraid that they will be a disaster for their neighbors in the future!" The army was on the road again, and Luo Shixin finally said.

"Our character is for the disaster of Shandong, let me tell you, Li Jiancheng's army has entered the plains, about to cross the Yellow River, to deal with me, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin are different, Li Jiancheng still has the people in his heart, once he finds that the chaotic army is raging in Shandong, his first reaction is not to pursue me, but to think about how to deal with these bandits." Li Xin said indifferently.

is also Li Yuan's son, but Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin are indeed two kinds of people, one has the people in his heart and has the style of Confucian elders, and the other has the world in his heart. If Li Shimin had come, Li Xin would never have treated these captives like this.

After Xu Yuanlang and Meng Haigong, who abandoned the army, fled more than ten miles away, they saw that Li Xin did not catch up, and they were suddenly relieved, and the two of them found a place, sorted out the soldiers and horses, and then sat together.

"Brother Meng, now you and I are grasshoppers on a rope." Xu Yuanlang sat on the ground and said with a gloomy face: "What should you do with the current situation?" ”

"I want to go back to Caozhou to recruit troops, Xu Shiji, I have decided not to go back." Meng Haigong snorted coldly and said, "Is it really the credit of Jinyiwei that Li Xin found our position so quickly this time?" I don't think so. ”

"Are you suspicious of Xu Shiji?" Xu Yuanlang asked with some surprise.

"I can see it this time, whether it is Xu Shiji, Li Xin, or Li Yuan, these people are all uneasy and kind, thinking of annexing us, Shandong is a fragrant bait, and they will not give up." Meng Haigong snorted coldly and said: "You remember, when I came, I secretly looked for Xu Shiji and wanted to return my 20,000 army, but Xu Shiji said that he would suppress Li Xin, and the speed of the 20,000 army was slow, so I couldn't reach Gaoping before Li Xin, so I led 10,000 people here." ”

"I also looked for Xu Shiji." Xu Yuanlang's face changed, and his face showed embarrassment, however, he asked Xu Shiji to get his soldiers and horses back, not to resist Li Xin, but to seize territory, he wanted to seize the territory around Yanzhou while Meng Haigong and others had not yet reacted. But he was rejected by Xu Shiji.

At first, he thought that Xu Shiji saw his thoughts, but now it seems that Xu Shiji didn't see his thoughts at all, or even if he saw it, he didn't care about anything, what he needed was not only Li Xin's head, but more importantly, the heads of himself and others, as well as the hundreds of thousands of troops in Shandong, this is what Xu Shiji wants.

"Damn, Xu Shiji's big eyes, I'm afraid he already had this calculation." Meng Haigong was furious after hearing this, and said loudly: "Brother Xu, what should I do now?" ”

"What else can I do? What I'm worried about now is that if I return to Yanzhou, whether Xu Shiji can let us go, I am really confused, I shouldn't have handed over the soldiers and horses to him for training in the first place, these soldiers have become elites, but they don't listen to us anymore. Xu Yuanlang said viciously: "It's really urgent for us, so go to submit to Li Xin, at least we can save our lives." ”

"Can we still submit to Li Xin now?" Meng Haigong shook his head and said, "Maybe you can, but I can't, my brother was killed by him." It is better to take refuge in Li Xin. Do you think Li Xin can escape the land of Shandong this time? ”

"I'm afraid it's hard." Xu Yuanlang said disdainfully: "It seems that although there are a lot of 60,000 troops, neither Xu Shiji nor Li Yuanji are simple characters in the back, and Li Yuan will not let go of this opportunity, don't look at Li Xin's invincibility now, but he is only driven eastward, and the east is the sea, tsk, can he fly over?" He has just ascended the throne, and his son has not yet grown up. Once Li Xin is killed, tsk, Guanzhong Datang may collapse in an instant, I think this world, in the end, it is Li Yuan, the old fox. ”

"Yes! I'm afraid Li Xin didn't expect that Xu Shiji and Li Yuanji would come to this trick and slowly trap Li Xin, if Li Yuan sent troops again, tsk, Li Xin would be unable to fly. Meng Haigong patted his thigh and said, "However, it seems that we only have one way." ”

"That is to go to Xu Shiji, buy horse bones, as the first person to submit to Li Zhao, Xu Shiji will definitely not treat you and me badly." Xu Yuanlang suddenly thought of this question and said loudly.

"Let's go, go find him." Meng Haigong also stood up. (To be continued......)
