Chapter 256: An Unquiet New Year (4)

It's a pity that Wang Shichong didn't know that Wang Wei had broken through the Wagang camp, and he only sent troops this time to deal with Yang Dong's orders, and he didn't want to fight hard with Li Mi in his heart.

He said that he was going to send troops, but he just said casually, where did he know that Wang Biao really took it seriously, he made a joke to Wang Bian, but God played a joke on him, so that he lost the perfect opportunity to break through Li Mi.

"Whew!"

The horn of retreat sounded, and the Sui army retreated like a tide.

"General!"

Wang Wei's lieutenant said anxiously, now that the other troops have retreated, they have fallen into a desperate situation.

Wang Wei laughed miserably, he didn't expect the end of the matter, it turned out to be like this.

"Providence!" Wang Wei roared, the long knife in his hand dripping blood, and looked sadly at the surrounding Wagang soldiers.

In the Spring Festival of the 14th year of the Great Cause, Henan Ambassador Huyalang killed Wang Wei.

"The inner army obeys orders! Hunt down the Sui army! Li Mi was overjoyed, immediately seized the fighter plane, and commanded the internal army he personally formed to pursue and kill the Sui army.

"Yes!"

Cheng Yanjin, Qin Qiong and others will respond.

The Wagang soldiers were pressed and beaten for a long time, and their hearts were extremely aggrieved.

At this moment, when given the opportunity, Li Mi's army, led by Cheng Yanjin and Qin Qiong, pounced on the Sui army like a tiger out of the cage.

Before, when Wang Shichong built the pontoon bridge, the army that built the bridge first attacked first, and the various armies were inconsistent.

At this moment, this hidden danger finally broke out, and in the face of Wagang's crazy counterattack, Wang Shichong's army did not form an effective counterattack.

The Sui army collapsed on all fronts, and a large number of Sui troops fled to the shore of Luoshui, competing to cross the pontoon bridge.

A large number of soldiers crowded in front of the pontoon. Race to cross the bridge.

"Plop!" A soldier had already rushed onto the pontoon bridge, and was hit by the soldier behind him, his feet slipped, and he fell into the water.

At this moment, in the cold winter of Layue, the soldiers of the Sui army were covered with armor again, and the heavy armor on his body made him unable to struggle, and the cold river water instantly numbed his limbs, and a series of bubbles came out, and the soldier quickly disappeared into the cold Luoshui.

However, the soldier's death did not stop the other soldiers. The crowding continued.

"Plop! Thump! ”

One after another, Sui soldiers were squeezed off the pontoon bridge. The icy river soon engulfed these young lives, and these brave soldiers, who did not die on the battlefield, fell into the river and drowned in the retreat.

Wait for the Sui army to cross the river. Thousands of soldiers were swallowed up by the water. Even those who died in battle did not drown as much.

The Wagang army counterattacked in a big way. Crossing Luoshui and breaking through the Sui army camp on the west bank of Luoshui.

Wang Shichong's army was defeated like a mountain, and he was in panic. Immediately flee with the troops.

Wagang pursued for thirty miles, and then Mingjin collected his troops, and captured countless grains and grasses.

"Defeated! Defeated! Wang Shichong's face was pale, and his heart was extremely frightened.

Fifty miles away from Luoyang City, Wang Shichong stopped and gathered nearly 10,000 remnants of the defeated army.

"General! What are we going to do? ”

Wei Ji also escaped, came to Wang Shichong's side, and said in fear.

Wang Shichong was also terrified in his heart, according to the Sui law, the defeated generals would be punished, and they would be dismissed at least and beheaded at worst.

He used to have military power in his hands according to the battle, and he asked for money and food, I am afraid that the little prince has long been dissatisfied with him, and now he has been defeated again, and now if he returns to Luoyang, I am afraid that the little prince will be angry and kill him with a knife.

"Can't go back to Luoyang!" Wang Shichong made a secret decision in his heart.

"General, if we go back to Luoyang now, I'm afraid we will be convicted, why don't we go to Heyang and watch the situation before making plans." Wei Ji suggested.

Wang Shichong's eyes lit up, if he turned to Heyang, secretly observed the situation, and waited for Luoyang Yang Tong's anger to dissipate a little, then there might be room for maneuver.

"If Yang Tong insists on condemning him to be offended, then he will never sit still, it's a big deal to surrender Li Mi, anyway, Li Mi is powerful now." Wang Shichong thought fiercely in his heart.

However, thinking of Yang Guang who was far away in Jiangdu, Wang Shichong couldn't help but feel a little weak in his heart, Yang Guang's long-term prestige made Wang Shichong fearful, and if he surrendered to Li Mi, then he would definitely live under the people, where was he in charge of all the soldiers and horses in Luoyang, and Wang Shichong would not come to this point until the last resort.

"Okay, then turn to Heyang!"

Wang Shichong pondered for a moment and agreed with this idea, the gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, and now he still saves his life.

"The general is wise!" Wei Ji arched his hand.

"But we can't leave like this, General Wei, this general will order you to return to Luoyang now and ask Lord Duan Da for help!" Please ask him to say a few more kind words in the court. Wang Shichong looked at Wei Ji with a smile.

"Ahh The last general ......" Wei Ji's face was full of bitterness, and he didn't expect Wang Shichong to let him go to Luoyang.

"Don't worry, as long as General Ben is in Heyang for a day, you will be safe and sound in Luoyang, the wealth of the General's Mansion is at your disposal, Lord Duan and Ben General have a good relationship, and they will definitely keep you safe, you can rest assured!" Wang Shichong said.

Wei Ji couldn't help but bow his head and slander, you and Duan Da have a bad relationship, it's not that Duan Da is greedy, you joined forces to embezzle several batches of military food and sell it at a high price while there was a shortage of grain in Luoyang.

Wang Shichong saw that Wei Ji was full of reluctance, and added another fire and said: "After the matter is completed, this general will not treat you badly, and Wang Wei's position can be given to you!" ”

Wei Ji's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but move.

At dusk of the New Year, Wang Shichong turned to Heyang.

When the night was full of wind and snow, most of the Sui army broke and fled, and when they arrived at Heyang, there were less than 10,000 people.

At this moment, the news of the defeat has reached Luoyang City.

"What, a great defeat for our army?"

"General Wang Wei died in battle?"

"Seventy thousand dead and wounded?"

…………

After hearing the news, all the ministers of Luoyang City were dumbfounded, originally they were all reunited with their families at home, and they all left their families and rushed to the Luoyang Imperial Palace.

Everyone understands that something big is happening here, and if you are not careful, I am afraid that Luoyang will fall.

"Rubbish, it's all rubbish!" Yang Tong was furious.

For what reason, it was clear that the Sui army had an advantage in military strength, but it was defeated every time.

"Wang Shichong!" Yang Tong gritted his teeth. If Wang Shichong was in front of him, he would like to kill him now, and every time he asked for money and food, he would open his mouth widely, and he would be so vulnerable in battle.

"Wang Shichong has already led his troops to retreat to Heyang." Huangfu Wuyi said expressionlessly.

"Retreat to Heyang?" The ministers were in an uproar, and only Duan Da lowered his head.

"Isn't it that between Luoyang and Wagang, there are no troops to defend it?" Wezin exclaimed.

Yang Tong's face turned pale when he heard this.

It's only been half a year, could it be that the tragedy of the Wagang soldiers besieging Luoyang will be repeated again.

"His Royal Highness King Yue, now is not the time to hold him accountable, now is the time to think about how to resist Li Mi." Duan Da hurriedly said, using Li Mi's army to divert the attention of the ministers.

The ministers were silent for a while. An oppressive atmosphere permeated the palace.

Li Mi had just broken through the Sui army camp on the west bank of Luoshui. was taking advantage of the victory to kill Luoyang, thinking of Li Mi's and 100,000 troops, Luoyang's hundred officials couldn't help but feel numb.

"Why don't you invite General Wang back?" Duan Da cautiously probed, before coming. Wang Shichong's mansion had already sent people to send a large amount of property to Duan Da's mansion. Duan Da, who received a heavy gift, of course, wanted to speak for Wang Shichong.

Yang Tong heard this. Furious, he said: "If it weren't for Wang Shichong's defeat, why would there be the current crisis." ”

"Victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, although General Wang was defeated. But if you are loyal to the country, if you want to be convicted because of defeat, I am afraid that the soldiers will be dissatisfied, and the generals will have no intention of fighting again! Duan Da defended Wang Shichong.

When Yang Tong heard this, he couldn't help but panic in his heart, all the soldiers and horses in Luoyang are under Wang Shichong's control, if Wang Shichong is really punished, I am afraid it will make the generals chill, this moment is the time when Luoyang is in danger, if the army's heart is shaken, I am afraid that Luoyang is really dangerous.

Duan Da saw the hesitation on Yang Tong's face, and his heart was relieved, knowing that most of the things had been successful.

"His Royal Highness King Qiyue, now that Luoyang is the time to employ people, we must not have civil strife at this time, Pei Renji's experience is not far away!" Duan Da continued.

Yang Tong panicked in his heart, of course he knew that Pei Renji did not come to Luokoucang because of the delay, and as a result, he took refuge in Li Mi in fear of crime, if Luoyang insisted on punishing Wang Shichong, it was not feasible for Wang Shichong to take refuge in Li Mi.

Moreover, Wang Shichong did not return to Luoyang, but retreated to Heyang at the expense of the near and far, and I am afraid that he was also afraid of Luoyang's punishment.

"Then in the opinion of Lord Duan, what should this king do?" Yang Tong asked.

At this moment, he also has no master, both hating Wang Shichong's defeat and fearing that Wang Shichong will surrender to Li Mi.

"General Wang's new defeat must be terrified in his heart, if His Royal Highness King Yue sends someone to pardon General Wang's crime of defeat at this moment, General Wang will be grateful to Dade and bravely kill the enemy." Duan Da weaved a beautiful dream for Yang Tong.

Yang Tong looked at the hundred officials at a loss, Yuan Wendu and the others saw that Wang Shichong had a great chance of recovery, of course they didn't mind the icing on the cake, and they suggested using Huairou's method.

Yang Tong's real age was only fifteen years old, and when he saw that all the ministers thought that he had adopted the method of Huairou, he wrote an edict of pardon and asked the guards to send it to Heyang overnight.

Huangfu Wuyi saw that Wang Shichong had escaped again, and sighed in his heart, and suddenly thought of another army in an idea, and said: "His Royal Highness King Qiyue, now Luoyang is newly defeated, and the army is lost, but Xin'an still has a army, which can or may be used by us." ”

"Oh! You mean the Daxing Army led by Pang Yu and Huo Shiju. Yang Tong said when he heard this.

Huangfu Wuyi nodded.

Pang Yu and Huo Shiju were stationed in Xin'an County, although they were nominally under the control of Luoyang City, but their food and supplies were paid by Daxing City, and they usually listened to Xuan and did not listen to the tune, and for a long time, the ministers of Luoyang had forgotten him.

"What the Emperor said is very true." Wei Jin nodded.

At this moment, Luoyang is newly defeated, and now it is good to use the army again, where to find fault with something.

"Order Xin'an and order Pang Yu and Huo Shiju to enter Luoyang." Yang Tong ordered.

"Pang Yu, Huo Shiju and the others only listen to Daxingcheng's orders, I'm afraid we won't be able to move!" Duan Da said with a bitter face.

Yang Tong felt aggrieved for a while, and said unwillingly: "Then send a letter to Daxingcheng and ask the third brother to give an order." ”

This time, he was going to bow his head in front of Yang Yu again. (To be continued......)
