On the city of Hefei, Yangkan looked at the Northern Qin army besieging the city on all sides, and Yangkan at this moment had nothing to do.

The news of the shocking change in the DPRK and China has reached Hefei, Xiao Heng died of illness, Xiao Luan succeeded to the throne, and then Lu Cao cut off the supply of grain and grass to Hefei.

Zhao Youzhi then led his army to besiege Hefei City.

"We have been fighting with the prince and the prince for a long time, and now the government has changed, Xiao Luan has usurped the throne, and Lu Ke wants to completely bury us here with the hands of the Qin army." At this time, Yangkan and the confidant generals of the Huainan Army were in the city to analyze the situation.

"This Lu Ke is really a villain, this kind of behavior is no different from betraying the country. For the sake of their own rights, the party is the same and different. The generals of the Huainan Army were all indignant.

"Generals, what are we doing right now?" Yang Kan interrupted the grumbling of the generals, but urgently needed a countermeasure.

Now there are still 60,000 elite soldiers in Hefei City, but the grain and grass are seriously insufficient, and it is impossible for the imperial court to send additional reinforcements.

"General Yang, we have no choice at the moment, if we are trapped in the lonely city of Hefei, we will die sooner or later, but if we abandon the city and return to the south bank, Lu Ke will definitely not let us go." At this time, a general stood up and said.

Yang Kan glanced at him and knew that this person's name was Liu Renye, who was Wei Ran's newly promoted Huainan general, and then asked, "General Liu has a clever plan?" ”

"The last general felt that it was not worth it to die in Hefei for his life. For now, there are only two paths we can take. The first way, surrender to Northern Qin. ”

As soon as Liu Renye's words came out, the people in the palace were suddenly excited, and many generals almost flipped the table, but all the generals disagreed.

"Is General Liu joking? We don't share the sky with Northern Qin, how can we surrender to Northern Qin? Yang Kan said angrily.

Liu Renye didn't care, and then said: "The second road, now the embankment on Hefei City is still there, connecting the east and west, we will kill it at night, and then seize the embankment, lead the army to cross the river, and then go to Guangling." ”

Yang Kan nodded slightly, but said again: "Why did you go to Guangling?" ”

"Guangling, Zhongli and Huaiyin, the land of Southern Xuzhou is still under the control of our dynasty. Huaiyin Zhongli defense line by the son of the great Sima personally guarded, we crossed the Feishui, and the Guangling army to make peace, Guangling is the fief of the county duke, we occupy Guangling City can coerce Jiankang. If the prince and the county prince raise an army to build a healthy army, we can echo each other in Guangling. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Renye glanced at the generals in the mansion, and then whispered: "If Xiao Ju and the county prince are not able to cause trouble, we occupy the land of Southern Xuzhou, and we will have bargaining chips with the north and the south." ”

All the generals were also pondering at this time, and Yang Kan was even more embarrassed: "Isn't this like a separation?" ”

"General Yang, Lu Cao wants to put us to death, if there is enough grain and grass, we are enough to hold on to Hefei to change, but now there is not enough grain and grass. How can our army hold on? Taking advantage of the fact that the north and the south are now defenseless, it is the best policy for our army to abandon Hefei and seize Guangling. ”

The expressions of everyone in the general's mansion were cloudy, and all the soldiers couldn't make up their minds, and finally focused their eyes on Yangkan.

After seeing this, Yangkan then sighed: "I, Yangkan, the people and ministers are all done, according to what General Liu said, you go back to assemble the troops, stay until dark, and attack the embankment at night." After capturing the dike, General Chen arranged for the man to break the levee and then destroy it. ”

In the Northern Qin military camp, Zhao Youzhi also received the latest news from the Southern Qi, and then summoned Yu Wenzhi and said: "Now that Xiao Ju and Wei Ran have fled from Jiankang to Jiangling, the civil strife in the Southern Dynasty is coming. ”

"Although Wei Ran is outstanding in civil and military affairs, the elite are all in Hefei. I am afraid that it will not be possible to rely on the soldiers of Gangneung alone. Yuwen calmly analyzed at this moment, and then said: "A soldier just said that there was an abnormality in the Hefei City Tower, and I just wanted to find a horse." ”

"Anomalies?" Zhao Youzhi pondered after hearing this: "Yangkan already knows that Hefei is a lonely city and it is definitely difficult to defend, do they want to break through in the direction of Jiangling to join Wei Ran?" ”

Zhao Youzhi then got up, looked at the map, frowned tightly and kept silent.

Yuwen Zhi didn't dare to say much when he saw this, but he also began to analyze the intentions of the Yangkan army in his mind.

"If Yangkan doesn't want to sit still, he will lead the army to break through, and if the 60,000 elites want to forcibly break through, we can't stop them all. But they also didn't have ships to cross the river, so the best way to do it was to break through in the direction of Jiangling, and then let Wei Ran lead the army to respond. Yuwenzhi saw that Zhao Youzhi had been silent, so he said his conclusion.

"It makes sense, but such a part will definitely lose a lot, and Yangkan is not like such a person." Then Zhao Youzhi looked at one place and suddenly shouted: "Will they cross the Feishui and go to Guangling?" ”

At this moment, a soldier hurriedly rushed in and shouted: "Report to the general, Hefei City suddenly caught fire, and then the city gate was opened, many people scattered and fled, and the Hefei army was killed from the east gate." ”

"What!" Zhao Youzhi was shocked when he heard this, and then shouted: "General Yuwen, quickly lead the army to the Feishui embankment, and you must not let Yangkan occupy the embankment." ”

Yuwen Zhi did not hesitate after hearing this, and immediately organized his army to Feishui.

At this time, Yang Kan led his army to storm the Northern Qin military camp near the embankment, and he had set fire to Hefei City before, and then drove the frightened people out of the south gate and north gate, and then his army came out from the east gate.

This plan was really ingenious, the Northern Qin army panicked for a while, and the Hefei defenders rushed out of the encirclement without encountering too many obstacles. But if you want to cross the fertile water, the 20,000 troops in front of you are really in the way.

Yangkan knew that now was not the time to hesitate, so he took the lead and led the army to repeatedly rush and kill, and the morale of the Huainan army was high, and they fought to the death. The Northern Qin defenders were then at a disadvantage and could not resist, and the formation gradually collapsed.

Liu Renye took the lead at this time, leading his guards to rush all the way to the embankment, cutting down the banner of the Qin army.

When Yuwenzhi arrived, he was still a step slower after all, and at this time, Yangkan had already retreated from the embankment to the east bank, and Yuwenzhi hurriedly waved his army to attack.

The Huainan army resisted bravely, but the Huainan army, which was at an absolute disadvantage in numbers, gradually could not support it, and Chen Kuan, the general of the Huainan army, saw this, so he no longer hesitated and shouted: "Send someone to tell General Yang, don't think about it so much, you must quickly destroy the embankment." ”

After saying this, Chen Kuan asked people to form a formation with chariots near the embankment, set up strong bows and crossbows, and shouted: "Don't worry about us, form a formation first, brothers, now there is no way to retreat, and now we can only cover the retreat of the army by holding on to this place." ”

After listening to Chen Kuan's song, no one spoke, but supported Chen Kuan's decision with practical actions.

Looking at the Qi army, which is gaining momentum more and more, Yu Wenzhi is also anxious.

After getting the news, Yangkan looked at the embankment and the Huainan army on the other bank, and was reluctant to order the destruction of the embankment.

Liu Renye couldn't care so much at this time, and hurriedly said to the soldiers: "Don't hurry up and destroy the embankment." ”

The soldiers did not dare to act rashly at this time, but looked at Yangkan. Seeing this, Yangkan had no choice but to tearfully ask the soldiers to start destroying the embankment.

Yuwen Zhi saw that the Qi army on the other side had begun to destroy the embankment, so Chen Kuan shouted on the other side: "If you lead your troops to surrender now, you can still be spared." ”

The only response to Yuwenzhi was a more violent resistance from the Qi army, and the battle continued until dawn, when Chen Kuan breathed a sigh of relief as the embankment was destroyed, and by this time the Qi army had already left more than 10,000 corpses on the west bank.

Chen Kuan looked at the hundreds of people around him, as well as the chariot array behind him, and then smiled sadly, thinking that Yuwen Zhi's army had made the final charge.

On the other side, watching the subordinates around Chen Kuan fall one by one, he couldn't help but feel like a knife.

The Huainan army, who had already crossed the river, was also grief-stricken when they saw Pao Ze being slaughtered on the other bank, and suddenly the sound of crying was flowing in the fat water.

Yu Wenzhi looked at Chen Kuan, who was dead in front of him, and also sighed slightly, and then asked, "What is the situation of Hefei City?" ”

"General Qiyu, our army has successfully occupied Hefei City. But the city of Hefei was burned down by fire, and seven or eight out of ten houses were destroyed, and now the city is home to the people. ”

After hearing this, Yuwen Zhi couldn't help but say: "We all misread Yangkan, and we always thought he was an honest man." I didn't expect to act like this. ”
