Pengcheng County, Qi County.

The remnants of the Jianghuai Army who had retreated from the front line retreated here in a wolf manner.

Fortunately, Qi County Daze is vertical and horizontal, full of hills, the ancient famous Daze Township is here, as well as Suishui, Tuohe River barrier. The Jianghuai army fled into the mountains and forests, trekked through mountains and underwater, and finally got rid of the Zhao army's pursuers. Fortunately, it was close to the Tongji Canal at this time.

Fu Gongyou looked haggard, and when he looked back, his subordinates on the left and right were also wolves, and the soldiers were untidy.

The general on the side said: "Fugong, many of the brothers have not escaped, and many have been scattered, but fortunately, there are many Chinese troops, and there are more than 3,000 brothers in the Shangzhao camp and the Danyang army, and there are more than 1,000 remaining brothers." ”

I heard that there were only 5,000 men and horses left, and the Jianghuai army had never suffered such a major defeat since it raised its troops.

Fu Gongyou said: "It's okay, the front is the Tongji Canal, and after the Tongji Canal is the territory of our Jianghuai Army, there is our Dongyang Water Division in the downstream, and there are also Zhang Shan'an, the head of the Tang Army, in Lujiang." As long as you pass here, you will be safe. ”

Gao Xiang said: "Father-in-law, the Zhao army is too cunning, they are all in front of us, and they are all in front of us, and it is too despicable to intercept our rear army and lone soldiers on the flank. ”

Fu Gongyou said: "Since ancient times, those who seek victory have been unscrupulous. ”

At this time, the former army ordered someone to report: "Marshal, the front will soon be the Tongji Canal!" ”

Fu Gongyou was shocked when he heard this, and immediately led the people forward.

Qi County is a strategic point in Huaixi, a place of transportation, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang revolted here, and the momentum spread to the whole country at once. Since Yang Guang built the Tongji Canal, this city is located next to the Tongji Canal connecting Jiangdu and Luoyang. It became even more prosperous all of a sudden.

Along the canal, there are many prosperous towns and villages that exist because of the river. However, due to the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Du Fuwei got into trouble. Yu Wenhua and the Xiaoguo army plundered north here and went to Qi County. Huaixi was devastated. In the past few years, the Jianghuai army has unified the Jianghuai and stabilized the situation a little, and the canal cities such as Qixian next to the Tongji Canal have suddenly regained a lot of vitality.

When Fu Gongyou came here, the military rations in the army had already been lost under the attack of the Zhao army. Du Fuwei immediately ordered his soldiers to enter the nearby towns and plunder, fill their stomachs, and then cross the Tongji Canal.

But soon the soldiers reported that the town next to Qi County was empty, and the gate of Qi County was closed, and they did not know the situation.

Fu Gongyou was surprised. In such a prosperous place as Qi County, how could there be no one in it? Could it be that he knew that the Jianghuai Army and the Zhao Army had already hid in advance, but in such a big city, even if the people were hiding, they could catch one or two people.

Fu Gongyou didn't dare to delay any longer when he heard this, and ordered his corporal to march and rushed to the edge of the Tongji Canal.

Seeing the wide canal, Fu Gongyou breathed a sigh of relief, but Fu Gongyou immediately appeared on the canal. There wasn't a single ship. This canal is the busiest canal in the world, and thousands of ships pass through it every day when it is not in war, even in times of war. There are also merchants who take advantage of the opportunity to sell for profit, running boats on the river.

How could it be that there was not a single boat, not even a ferry boat to cross the river. The soldiers who searched along the river also returned to report that there was not a single boat in the ten miles up and down the canal. And the towns were empty. The more Fu Gongyou looked at it, the more frightened he became, and he could only bite the bullet at the moment. Lead the men and horses to the downstream direction, hoping to find the sailor who will pick them up.

After walking for a day, in the evening, Fu Gongyou finally looked at the river boat on the canal, and it was his own Danyang sailor.

Hearing the former army's announcement, Fu Gongyou was overjoyed and urged the horse to rush to the river. But when he saw more than a dozen three-story warships floating on the water, his men and horses were shouting on the shore, asking the sailors to bring the warships to the shore.

After a while, the dozen or so warships slowly approached from the opposite shore. But after getting closer, Fu Gongyou was pulling out the cold in his heart. It turned out that these warships had replaced the battle flag of the Jianghuai Army, but erected the banner of the Zhao Army, and the Danyang Navy Division that he trusted actually defected to the Zhao Army at some point.

The cheers of the Jianghuai soldiers on the shore all stopped abruptly, and the soldiers looked at the battleship of Yi Qi blankly, all speechless.

And the ships came up to the shore. On the bow of the ship, you can see the sailors, running to the deck. On the side of the ship stood a division of soldiers, all of whom raised their crossbows and aimed them at the shore. The Jianghuai soldiers on the shore shouted badly when they saw it, and they retreated one after another.

At that moment, the bow sergeant fired arrows at the shore together, and the Jianghuai sergeant hurriedly left the shore. Fu Gongyou is also rushing to the shore at the moment. Although a few people were not injured in this attack, it greatly damaged the morale of the Jianghuai soldiers. Immediately, a group of Jianghuai sergeants left the team in the night.

Fu Gongyou's mood sank to the bottom, but he didn't give up. Instead, he led his men and horses and retreated to a hill next to the canal, where he rested secretly. Fu Gongyou also sent soldiers to cut down the raft, wanting to lead the soldiers to cross the river on the raft under the cover of night.

Night falls, but the canal is brightly lit. The warships of the Dongyang Naval Division, which rebelled against the Zhao army, cruised back and forth on the canal, and the battleships were lit with giant lights, illuminating the water surface red. The soldiers of the Dongyang Navy Division also took small boats and went back and forth on the canal.

Zhao Jun had already thought of the idea of Fu Gongyou to cross the river, and he also sent people to patrol the river at night.

Fu Gongyou was furious when he saw it, and he led his soldiers to hurry overnight, he still had the last hope, and then went downstream to Lujiang County. Zhang Shan'an, the general of the Tang Army, had received help from him when he was a rebel, as long as he could retreat to Lujiang County and take refuge in Zhang Shan'an, he would have a way out.

Fu Gongyou led a night trip along the canal, and in order to catch up with the night road, they all lit torches and trekked.

On the canal, the Dongyang Navy Division caught the movements of the Jianghuai Army of Fugongyou, and the warships were all following the route of the Jianghuai Army. The battleship kept beating gongs and drums, as if to remind Zhao Jun of the location of the Jianghuai Army.

Fu Gongyou was furious when he saw this scene, in the past, these generals of the Dongyang Water Division never looked at them with a straight eye, but now they are in Pingyang, these people are so presumptuous, they are dangling in front of their eyes.

The sound of gongs and drums was beating, which made the Jianghuai troops on the road tremble. After the Dongyang Navy Division defected, there were more Jianghuai soldiers who left the team without permission.

And now many soldiers have no intention of following Fu Gongyou, they are walking, and on the other hand, they take advantage of the general's inattention, and hide in the woodland on the side of the road. Sometimes even the generals deserted with their soldiers.

When it was almost dawn, there were only a few hundred people around Fu Gongyou.
