As soon as Wang Shichong's words fell, he saw Yang Guang's gaze at him becoming fierce, but when he blinked his eyes and looked again, Yang Guang's expression was very flat.

He suspected that he had been dazzled just now.

Yang Guang remembered that half an hour ago, Wang Shichong swore to him that "Luokou can't be lost", but now he came to tell him that Luokou couldn't hold it, and he wanted to cut off Wang Shichong's head to vent his hatred.

But Pei Yun and they are right, at present, only Wang Shichong can keep the Eastern Capital, and Wang Shichong cannot die.

Taking a deep breath, Yang Guang got up: "Let's go." ”

"Want to go? There are no doors. ”

As soon as he reached the door, a feather arrow flew through the air and plunged into Yang Guang's left shoulder.

It turned out that Shan Xiongxin sneaked into the commander's mansion with the internal army at some point, and he stood above the courtyard gate with a big bow in his hand.

The crowd was shocked and hurriedly defended.

"Escort, escort."

Wang Shichong, Pei Qiantong and others quickly drew their knives to protect Yang Guang.

Sima Dejiao helped Yang Guang to retreat to the side corridor in time, and the archers were in place, and they shot feather arrows with their bows full.

Under the fierce arrow array attack, Shan Xiongxin and the internal army were unable to move forward for a while, and the Xiaoguo army got a little respite and quickly escorted Yang Guang away.

The Wagang army's offensive was fiercer than any before, and the Xiaoguo army lost the opportunity and resisted for three hours, then retreated one after another, and finally withdrew from Luokou City.

Pei Renji and Shan Xiongxin led the army in pursuit and pursued them until Luoshui.

Wang Shichong watched the Wagang army board the pontoon bridge, chased after him, and hurriedly ordered: "Cut down the pontoon bridge." ”

Someone said, "But not all of our people have come." ”

"It's too late, cut."

Wang Shichong said, rushed to the pontoon bridge, raised the big knife in his hand and slashed down, while stabbing, the pontoon bridge fell into the water, and the people on the bridge fell into the river one after another.

Seeing this, the others gritted their teeth and cut off the remaining pontoons.

"Ahh

The screams came and went, including the Sui army that had not landed halfway, and the Wagang army who caught up with the pontoon bridge, and they all fell into the water with the pontoon bridge and were washed away by the flowing water.

"Quick, pass the imperial doctor to your majesty to heal your wounds."

When Yang Guang came, he brought three imperial doctors with him, and only two were left at this time.

The imperial doctor stepped forward to check Yang Guang's wound, "The arrow went into two inches, but fortunately, it didn't hurt the bones, and there was no worry about life." ”

"Your Majesty, bear with me, and the minister will pull out the arrow for you now."

Yang Guang nodded.

The two imperial doctors glanced at each other, one was ready to draw arrows, and the other was preparing cloth towels and medicinal powder.

"Poof.....

Blood spurted out along with the arrow, and the imperial physician hurriedly covered it with a cloth towel.

"Hmm~"

Yang Guang gritted his teeth, he didn't want to be vulnerable, but the sudden pain still made him snort.

"Your Majesty bear with me, and the minister will apply medicine to you immediately."

A quarter of an hour later, Yang Guang's wound was finally treated, and he looked at Wang Shichong and other generals in front of him, and there was a feeling of dizziness in front of him.

Pei Qiantong saw that Yang Guang's face was very bad, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you are injured, it is better to go back to Luoyang as soon as possible to recuperate, and leave it to us here."

"You can rest assured, we will definitely hold on and prevent the Wagang rebels from entering the Eastern Capital."

Wang Shichong lost the battle, he was ashamed in his heart, and he didn't dare to look at Yang Guang, but he also expressed his loyalty: "Your Majesty..... Although the minister can't keep Luokou, don't worry, I will definitely be able to keep the eastern capital. ”

A wry smile crossed the corner of Yang Guang's mouth, and he said with difficulty: "Wang Shichong...... and Sima Dejia stayed here..... Blocking Li Mi..... Pei Qiantong followed me back to Luoyang. ”

Wang Shichong personally selected 5,000 elite Xiaoguo troops to escort Yang Guang back to Luoyang, and then counted the battlefield, and there were still 400,000 left of 500,000 horses.

In this war, the Sui army suffered heavy losses.

Wang Shichong and the generals sat in the big tent with solemn expressions, and the atmosphere in the tent was very heavy.

The battle for Luokou was too difficult to fight, and it seemed that they could only do their best to keep the eastern capital.

After being silent for a while, Liu Changgong walked in from outside: "Marshal, I have visited these days, and it is not our people who killed Zhai Rang Zhai Hong's brothers. ”

"Not our people?" Wang Shichong's eyes lit up: "You mean, it was the Wagang rebels who killed Zhai Rang and Zhai Hong?" ”

Pang Yu shouted: "It's not our people on the battlefield, it's the Wagang rebels, who else can there be besides them?"

"It turns out that the big boss of Wagangzhai died of his own manslaughter, and it is really ridiculous for this to be spread."

After speaking, Pang Yu laughed.

"It doesn't have to be manslaughter."

Pang Yu's laughter stopped, and he looked at Sima Deji: "What do you mean by this?" ”

Sima Dejiao rubbed his chin and said in a deep voice: "Zhai Rang is the big boss of Wagangzhai, but then it was Li Mi who took power, no matter whether Zhai Rang really gave up power or not, there must be contradictions within Wagangzhai."

"Even if Zhai Rang doesn't want to be the emperor, his subordinates may not think so.

"Wagangzhai has actually been hiding a worry, that is, the struggle for the rights of Li Mi and Zhai Rang, and what happened that day is likely to be Wagang infighting."

The crowd was thoughtful.

Huo Shiju patted his thigh: "He's yes, it's a pity that there is no evidence, we still have to carry this black cauldron." ”

"Nope." Sima Dejiao suddenly stood up, and said to everyone with shining eyes: "Without evidence, we can also get rid of this black cauldron." ”

Wang Shichong asked curiously: "How to shake off?" ”

Sima Dejiao raised the corners of his lips and replied confidently: "We can find a way to spread the news to the Wagang rebels, just say that Zhai Rang and Zhai Hong's family did not die at the hands of the Sui army, but at the hands of Li Mi.

"It was Li Mi who was afraid that his position would be unstable, so he took advantage of the chaos to kill Zhai Rang.

"In this way, the morale of the Wagang army will inevitably be weakened, and at that time, it will be much easier for us to attack again."

"Bang pap...."Wang Shichong clapped his hands and applauded: "Good idea, rumors are the most bluffing, even if some people don't believe it at first, and there are more people who say it, they will believe it." ”

The others nodded in agreement.

Wang Shicheng immediately selected soldiers who were good at hiding and sneaked into Luokou City while swimming in the river at night.

After a few days, everyone in Luokou City was discussing the rumors that Li Mi killed Zhai Rang, and many people looked at Li Mi with a nose and eyes.

Li Mi didn't know at first, but after inquiring about the reason, he was so angry that he dropped his cup: "Who is so hateful and spreading rumors?" ”

Chai Xiaohe and the others stood with their eyes down, silent.

Naturally, the rumors didn't come from them, but there were many mixed people at that time, no matter how well Cai Jiande covered it up, someone would always see it.

Pei Renji said: "My lord, no matter who passed it on, there is no point in pursuing it now, we should think about how to appease the army now." ”

Yes, I'm dizzy.

Li Mi sat down again and silently calmed down his anger, "Chai Xiaohe, you go and make arrangements, I will have a banquet for the old people of Wagangzhai tonight." ”

That night, Shan Xiongxin, Wang Ruxin, Jia Xiong and other Zhai Rang old ministers came to the banquet with anxiety.

After three rounds of drinking, Li Mi raised his wine glass and said to everyone: "Recently, there is a rumor circulating in the army. ”

When the main topic came, Shan Xiongxin and others felt a pang in their hearts, sat upright, and made an attitude of listening carefully.....
