"Zhai Rang, Li Mi, have strengthened the attack on Wang Shichong??"

Chen Fuliang was unusually surprised and puzzled, and his first reaction was to suspect that his unscrupulous father-in-law was secretly playing tricks and running to lie about the military situation again, but after careful questioning, he listened to Wang Shichong's envoy's detailed report on the Banzhu battle situation, and Chen Fuliang realized that he had wronged his father-in-law this time, the reason is that the envoy's report does not seem to be fake, and the second is that although Wang Shichong is bold, thick-skinned, and black-hearted, he should not have the courage to fake the official document in black and white, leaving a death certificate that is enough to kill his head. om

After thinking for a while, Chen Fuliang summoned Ma Sanbao, who was in charge of scout affairs, and asked Ma Sanbao about the recent military situation of the Tiger Prison Pass, Ma Sanbao replied truthfully: "Stay behind, since the second day after the end of the Battle of Shilibao, the thief army has narrowed the scope of the scouts, even during the day, the scout sentry rarely leaves the five miles of the Tiger Prison Pass, and at night it is basically a sentry under the city, and our scouts have news just now to report, when they touched the sentry under the Tiger Prison Pass, Seeing that the scout horses of the thief army were using ropes to go up and down the city wall, the last general suspected that the Wagang thieves might have blocked the west gate of the Tiger Prison from the inside. ”

"Blocked the city gates?" Chen Fu's conscience was even more puzzled, and he doubted the true intention of the enemy's move, and then asked, "What about our internal line?" Is there any news to send? ”

Ma Sanbao shook his head and said no, Chen Fuliang was also a little worried, I don't know if Mulan can't send the news out of the Tiger Prison, or if he has already been suspected, but he can't judge, so he can only order Ma Sanbao to try to grab his tongue and make a confession. Ma Sanbao took the order and left, and Wang Shichong's envoy over there urged: "Chen Liushou, our Wang Liushou please look at the feelings of Weng Son-in-law, and do your best to attack the west of Hujiao Pass, our army in Pengcheng suffered a lot of losses some time ago, and the army is also very tired, it is no problem to deal with the thief army, but it is too difficult to deal with the main force of the thief army." ”

"I know that your losses are great, but my losses are even greater, and now it is difficult for me to storm the Tiger Prison."

Chen Fuliang shook his head and said a rare truth, although the Sui army won the battle of Shilibao, the army losses were definitely not small, and most of the casualties were the main soldiers, in fact, they also hurt their vitality, and they did not have the strength to attack the tiger prison head-on for the time being. So after thinking about it, Chen Fuliang instructed Wang Shichong's envoy again: "Go back and tell your father-in-law, please rest assured that I will definitely attack as much as possible to share the pressure for him." Tell him again, he is under great pressure, I know that if the main force of the thief army really attacks him, he can act at the opportunity, but remember one thing, you must not give up the Banzhu camp, you must nail me firmly there! ”

Wang Shichong's messenger agreed, and orally reported the news that Li Mi transferred troops from Liyangcang to the south to attack Wang Shichong, and also truthfully reported that the news had not yet been confirmed.

"Strange? Could it be that Li Mi persuaded Zhai Rang to continue fighting? Really attack Wang Shichong with all his might, beat Wang Shichong away, and then take the safest road to Banzhu and Jindiguan to return to Liyangcang? Although this may be the biggest, why did Li Mi deliberately spread this news in the army, and what was the purpose of this traitor? Bluffing, taking advance as retreat, pretending to attack Wang Shichong with all his might, taking the opportunity to abandon the Tiger Prison Pass, and directly cross the Yellow River to the north to reduce the losses of being chased and killed by me? If that's the case, Mulan will definitely try to send me the news, and it will be difficult to hide the eyes of the Wen County government in the north? ”

Thinking about this thought, in the evening, Ma Sanbao took a prisoner of the Wagang Army to Chen Fuliang, saying that it took a lot of effort to catch it, Chen Fuliang comforted the captive with kind words, and inquired about the situation in the Guanzhong of the Tiger Prison Pass, only then did he know that Ma Sanbao's analysis was correct, the Wagang Army had indeed blocked the west gate of the Tiger Prison Pass with earth and stones, and the captives confessed that Zhai Rang and Li Mi did threaten to attack Wang Shichong with all their strength in the army, and there were indeed rumors that Li Mi had mobilized the Liyangcang garrison to attack Wang Shichong, The confession is basically the same as Wang Shichong's report.

In the case of unclear enemy situation, Chen Fuliang simply increased the scope of reconnaissance, sent scouts to cross the Yellow River north, and went to the north bank of the Yellow River in the area of Tiger Prison Pass to investigate the movements of the thief army, and sent people to contact Meng Shanyi, the commander of Hanoi, and asked Hanoi to provide intelligence help to detect whether a large number of enemies appeared in Hanoi County, and then Chen Fuliang could only wait for the response from all sides, while hoping that Mulan would send news to help him grasp the enemy's movements.

Li Mi is also worthy of being the first ruthless character who can deceive Chen Fuliang on the battlefield, Chen Fuliang's expectation has not yet received the echo, the next morning, Zhai Li thief army has a new move, Li Mi general Fang Xianbo led an army to escort a large number of military baggage, through the sea temple directly to the thief army control zhì Xingze County, Pengcheng Sui army scouts found the news, flew to Wang Shichong, but Wang Shichong was afraid that this was Li Mi's trick to lure the enemy, did not dare to make a move, watched as the quartermaster baggage was sent from under his nose into Xingze City.

On the third day, another thief army marched from the Tiger Prison Pass to Xingze, the number was quite large, and the army was mixed with female dependents, the old and weak, the scout flew to report to Wang Shichong, Wang Shichong once suspected that the Zhai and Li coalition forces wanted to really retreat, bypassing Banzhu and crossing the river from Xingze, wanting to attack and intercept, but they were still afraid that this was Li Mi's trick to lure the enemy, and knew that no matter how much such an enemy killed, Li Mi and Zhai Rang would not feel distressed, so they did not dare to act rashly. As a result, the scout quickly reported that the first thief army was in the mountains and forests around the Great Sea Temple, and Wang Shichong was glad that he had made a wise decision, and he did not dare to send troops, so he just sent a messenger to report the matter to Chen Fuliang again.

On the afternoon of the same day, the Pengcheng Sui army and the Li thief army built a pontoon bridge in the area of Xingze, Wang Shichong received the news that it was already night, and found out that the second batch of thieves had arrived in Xingze, Wang Shichong was very puzzled, and doubted Li Mi's true intentions, and hurriedly sent scouts to investigate the ambush arranged by the thief army in the area of Dahai Temple, but the result was nothing.

In the evening of the same day, the scouts sent by Chen Fuliang to reconnoiter north of the Yellow River finally returned to Luokoucang, and to Chen Fuliang's great surprise, only nine of the 20 scouts sent across the Yellow River returned, and the surviving scouts reported that they were ambushed by the thieves in the north of the Tiger Prison Pass, and they could not find out the specific movements of the thieves. It can be confirmed that there is a large number of people moving around, but the exact circumstances are unknown.

The distance is too far, and the middle is stuck in the throat by the Tiger Prison Pass, and the intelligence traffic is too inconvenient, Wang Shichong suspected that the Zhai Li thief army was preparing to retreat through Xingze in Banzhu, but Chen Fuliang suspected that the Zhai Li thief army was preparing to directly cross the Yellow River north to escape, and under the misjudgment, Chen Fuliang in addition to sending people to contact Wang Shichong by water 6 and asking Wang Shichong to strengthen the reconnaissance of the Yellow River ferry east of the Tiger Prison Pass, and then immediately began to prepare the ferry and arrange for the Sui army in the eastern capital to cross the water and pursue the matter.

In the early morning of the next day, the messenger sent by Chen Fuliang from the waterway was lucky to get rid of the pursuit of the Wagang army patrol boat, and successfully delivered Chen Fuliang's letter to Wang Shichong, and also reported to Wang Shichong that when he was in Tongguò Tiger Pass, both sides of the Yellow River in the Niuzhukou area were now in flames. As a result, this situation also completely confused Wang Shichong's command and judgment, Wang Shichong broke his head and didn't understand what Li Mi wanted to do, let alone judge which road Zhai Li thief army wanted to take and retreat, and fell into a dilemma.

Li Mi was obviously determined to confuse the judgment and command of the Sui army, and when Wang Shichong was worried about the diametrically opposite judgment of himself and Chen Fuliang, the scout suddenly came to report that the Zhai Li thief army had sent troops to the east again, this time in a grain cart full of grain bags, and it was still a short road from the Tiger Prison Pass to the Dahai Temple in Xingze. Wang Shichong hesitated again and again when he heard the report, in order to judge the enemy's situation, and because he was greedy for precious food, Wang Shichong finally ordered troops to intercept it, and personally led the army out of the camp to ambush on the road that the thief army must pass to transport grain.

Even Wang Shichong himself didn't expect that this time the grain robbery would be so smooth, his ambush soldiers had just been killed from both sides, the thief army of the grain had already screamed and abandoned the car and left, Wang Shichong was overjoyed, but when the soldiers happily opened the grain bag, they screamed and reported that the bag was full of mud, Wang Shichong immediately understood the plan, and quickly ordered to retreat back to the camp, at the same time, the thief army who abandoned the grain and left before had also turned around and killed, and the mountains and forests were full of war drums and shouting to kill, Wang Shichong's army was panicked and scrambled to flee for his life, you pushed me, and the team was in chaos, Although the grain army of Zhai Li's thief army was a second-line army, it still chased Wang Shichong's ass and beat it fiercely, and won a lot of gains.

When Wang Shichong finally showed that the combat effectiveness of the chasing soldiers was not strong, and there was no figure in the mountains and forests except for the war drums shouting and killing, it was too late, and the Pengcheng Sui army camp had already lit up the wolf smoke in an emergency, and three wolf smoke were lit one after another, and at the same time, there was also a herald flying report, saying that the Zhai Li thief army suddenly sent troops and killed Wang Shichong's camp from the water 6 two roads, and a large number of thieves who had arrived in Xingze before also killed from the downstream of the Tongji Canal, and attacked Wang Shichong's camp in three ways, Wang Shichong wanted to cry without tears, and he dared to ignore the fleshy foot chasing soldiers behind, One is just rushing back to the camp to rescue.

Li Mi's long-planned preparations for this attack were very sufficient, and before leaving, he directly told the army to prepare to retreat, if Wang Shichong was not pulled out of the nail, no one would want to go back to Liyang Cang to have a full meal! Under the excitement of the army, the attack of Zhai Li thief army was very fierce, Zhai asked Li Mi to personally lead the army to take 6 roads, Xu Shichang led the army to take the waterway, and before transporting the baggage and protecting the family members to Xingze Fang Xianbo and Hao Xiaode and other departments, all of them were competing for the first, all with their lives, around Wang Shichong's camp rushed and beat fiercely, vowing not to break Wang Shichong's camp and never withdraw troops.

If Wang Shichong himself still stayed in the camp with the main force, then Li Mi's three-way pinching offensive was fierce again, and Wang Shichong's army, who was good at formation and defensive warfare, was also very sure that it would be able to hold the camp, but unfortunately, Wang Shichong was stunned by Li Mi's series of feints, and this time he personally led the troops out to rob the grain, and did not stay in the camp to command, and finally when the wolf bèi fled back to the vicinity of the camp, he was attacked by the elite Zhai and Li coalition forces, and when Li Mi was pleasantly surprised to see that he had deceived Wang Shichong this time, Immediately suspend the attack on Wang Shichong's camp, wave the whole army to besiege Wang Shichong, and say nothing to give Wang Shichong a chance to return to the camp to breathe.

This is a fierce battle full of accidents, Wang Shichong did not expect that Li Mi would use fake grain to lure the snake out of the hole, nor did he expect that Li Mi would attack his camp in three ways, Li Mi only planned to weaken Wang Shichong's strength, so that he did not dare to stop the retreat of the army, did not expect Wang Shichong, the old fox, to personally go out of the camp to rob the grain, the command of both sides were a little hasty and chaotic, but after all, the situation was more favorable to the Zhai and Li coalition army, Wang Shichong rushed to meet the battle left and right and could not advance into the camp, but there were more and more enemies around him, Wang Shiyun and Yang Wei, who stayed in the camp, were afraid that Wang Shichong would lose, so they hurriedly sent troops to respond, and an unexpected melee also started outside Wang Shichong's camp.

If it weren't for the fact that Chen Fuliang had already severely damaged the Zhai Li coalition army in the Battle of Shilipu, the main force of the Zhai Li thief army was tired and injured too much, and it would be difficult for Wang Shichong to escape for his life in this battle, but this was enough, Wang Shiyun and Yang Wei and others would have spent a lot of effort to finally take Wang Shichong back to the camp, but the Zhai and Li coalition forces still took advantage of the situation to kill the Sui army camp, Wang Shichong desperately restrained the army to resist desperately, but he still couldn't stop the Zhai Li thief army from killing people everywhere in his camp and setting fires, burning his military tent camp, Fortunately, Wang Shichong's greedy nature of life and fear of death played a role at this moment, and the Pengcheng Sui army still had a stronger Chinese army camp to defend, and Wang Shichong himself was quite able to make a decision on the spot, and when he saw that the outer camp was difficult to defend, he immediately ordered to retreat to the Chinese army camp to defend it, determined to save his capital first.

Li Mi is also a person who knows how to make trade-offs, seeing that Wang Shichong led the remnants of the army to defend the camp of the Chinese army, knowing that gnawing this iron bone must break a lot of teeth, he also immediately adjusted his tactics, deliberately released the south road for Wang Shichong to escape, so that the army only stormed the east, west, and north, but unfortunately Li Mi's siege was missing a book to let Wang Shichong get out, but Wang Shichong, who was suspicious by nature, suspected that this was Li Mi's second lure of the snake out of the hole, not only refused to be fooled, but also commanded the army to resist desperately, As a result, the fierce battle lasted from the afternoon to the third watch in the middle of the night, and the Zhai and Li thieves never managed to enter the camp of the Sui army, and Wang Shichong never broke through from the road deliberately given by Li Mi.

Both sides were exhausted, and both sides were beaten to the point that the corpses were piling up, and the blood was flowing like a river, and finally seeing that Wang Shichong could not be driven away, Li Mi gritted his teeth, and finally accepted Zhai Rang's almost begging request, and ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops and lead the army back to the Tiger Prison Guandong Camp to rest - if he continued to fight, Chen Fuliang's lack of virtue would definitely come and take advantage of the fire to rob. And Wang Shichong's army, whose strength was greatly damaged, did not dare to send troops to pursue, and watched the exhausted Zhai Li thief army retreat.

On the way back to Shihu Prison, because of the successful destruction of most of the Sui army camps, the soldiers of the Zhai and Li coalition forces, who were almost tired and paralyzed, were constantly cheering, and no matter how much blood was on their faces, they were still smiling, but Li Mi's face was so heavy that he almost came out of the water, and he shook his head several times and lamented, "Both defeats, both defeats, the original intention was to consume part of Wang Shichong's strength, so that he would not dare to intercept us, I really didn't expect it to become like this, it would have turned into an unexpected decisive battle, I knew that Wang Shichong would be deceived out, I should have brought more reserves." ”

"Forget it, just win." Zhai Rang wiped the blood on his face and said comfortingly: "Although we failed to take Wang Gouguan's camp this time, and we suffered more casualties, we at least hit Wang Gouguan's vitality, and when we led the army to retreat next, he didn't dare to send troops to intercept it even if he had the courage to do so." ”

"Yes, we have hit Wang Shichong's vitality hard, but our vitality has also been hit hard." Li Mi smiled bitterly, shook his head, sighed, and then said: "Dongjun Gong, there is not much time left for us, tomorrow we will have a day off, and the day after tomorrow will retreat according to the original plan, otherwise, once Chen Yingliang Dog Officer transfers fresh troops from the rear to participate in the battle, our tired army will not be able to stop it." ”

Zhai Rang, of course, accepted Li Mi's Jianyì, and let the army rest for a day, and in the evening of the next day, Zhai Rang finally announced the decision to abandon the pass and retreat in public, but he was still very careful not to announce the retreat plan in public, in order to keep it secret, he called the main generals to his room alone, explained the order of retreat alone, and asked the generals to keep it strictly confidential, and not to disclose it to anyone until the last moment.

Li Mi and Zhai Rang's arrangement finally had an effect, although Mulan, who brought her own dry food to Chen Fuliang as a traitor, knew that she was going to abandon the pass and retreat the next day, but she didn't know the specific retreat plan, and because Zhai Rang suddenly ordered Xu Shichang to take over the city defense west of the Tiger Pass, Mulan couldn't even help Zhang Kai get out of the customs and report the news, so as a last resort, Mulan had to retreat and make another arrangement for Zhang Kai............

On the second day of the seventh month of the thirteenth year of the Great Cause, after fighting exhausted with the Sui army of the Eastern Capital and the Sui army of Pengcheng, the Zhai Li thief army, who was greatly injured, finally hated and gave up the Tiger Prison Pass, and abandoned the pass under the leadership of Zhai Rang and Li Mi, and retreated to Dongjun through Xingze. However, it was stubbornly blocked by Xu Shixian, the general of the Wagang Army, and the Sui army of the Eastern Capital, who was also exhausted, was at a loss under the Tiger Prison Guanjian City, and tried to use a light ladder to climb the city several times, but was killed and retreated by Xu Shiyun.

After nightfall, Xu Shiyun abandoned the Tiger Prison Pass as originally planned, led the palace army of only about 800 people out of the pass to the east, and retreated along the Yellow River in a small boat hidden in the reeds.

Of course, it was not for nothing, after the Sui army entered the city, Zhang Kai, who was ordered to hide in a hidden place in the city, ran out, and after identifying himself, he was able to see Chen Fuliang quickly, and presented the two letters to Chen Fuliang, Chen Fuliang took the letter and looked at it, and saw that a letter was written with Mulan's signature, so he opened it first, and saw that the content of the letter explained that in addition to explaining the reason why the news could not be informed in advance this time, there was also Mulan said that he must avenge Zhang Xutuo, and punished the two enemies of Zhai Rang and Li Mi, and was willing to continue to act as a traitor for Chen Fuliang, agreed on the secret code for the next contact, so that Mulan could distinguish the authenticity of the messenger sent by Chen Fuliang to contact her.

The second letter was not signed, and when Chen Fuliang opened it, he saw that there were only a few short sentences in the letter, and the full text was as follows: "Liar! Why did you lie to me in the first place? It hurt me to marry someone else by mistake, you remember it for me! However, my current husband is very kind to me, and I thank you. ”

"Good for you? So why have you been married for more than half a year, and you haven't been pregnant yet? Chen Fuliang muttered: "If you want to have a child, don't you have to ask me for help?" But I don't have a chance this time, next time, I'll help you next time. ”

After muttering, Chen Fuliang slowly packed the two letters, hid them in his sleeves, and when he looked up at the towering Tiger Prison Pass, Chen Fuliang showed a bitter smile and muttered: "Finally, I still got it back, although I took it very reluctantly, and I took it a little anticlimactic, but it doesn't matter, when you come back, I can get out of Luokoucang, and I can free my hands to deal with more powerful enemies." It's a good thing, and it's a good thing. "The stubborn resistance of Xu Shiyun, the general behind the palace of the Wagang Army, and the equally exhausted Sui army of the Eastern Capital were at a loss under the Tiger Prison Guanjian City, and tried to use a light flying ladder to climb the city several times, but they were all killed and retreated by Xu Shiyun.

After nightfall, Xu Shiyun abandoned the Tiger Prison Pass as originally planned, led the palace army of only about 800 people out of the pass to the east, and retreated along the Yellow River in a small boat hidden in the reeds.
