Yang Yinglong anxiously walked around the new palace, and kept muttering: "What should I do?" Now what? ”

At this time, Sun Shitai also walked in, and Yang Yinglong hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Mr. Sun, you can be regarded as here!" I just got the news that the imperial court has made a resolution to allow Wang Jiguang, the governor of Sichuan, to mobilize troops and horses to encircle and suppress me! What a good thing that is! ”

Now Wang Jiguang hasn't even gotten the news, but Yang Yinglong has already known the news in advance! Sun Shitai was not surprised at all, because many of the Banzhou Yang's relationship networks were actually managed by him, so he knew the power of the Banzhou Yang family, and almost after this decision came out of the center, it was basically much faster than the official channels to Yang Yinglong's hands!

So Sun Shitai didn't panic at all, and said to Yang Yinglong with a smile: "Chitose doesn't need to panic, at this time, the Sichuan Political Envoy Department should not have gotten the news, so we still have time to calmly arrange and deal with it." ”

When Yang Yinglong heard this, his face was suddenly full of question marks: "Calmly arrange to deal with it?" What to furnish? What to deal with? Sun Shitai was also a little puzzled when he heard this: "Of course, it is to arrange the army to deal with the invading Dayan army, what else can it be?" ”

Yang Yinglong glared out, he looked at Sun Shitai in a daze, Sun Shitai also looked at Yang Yinglong in shock: "Chitose, don't you mean to surrender?" ”

Nonsense! Yang Yinglong is actually thinking about how to surrender more decently and keep everything he has now! Who's as good as you? Actually want to rebel against the army of the imperial court?

Yang Yinglong is really a little confused now, he has read books, so the difference between him and Tian Jiucheng is that Tian Jiucheng has only read a little bit of books, and even most of them are Taiping Yaoshu, while Yang Yinglong has read a lot of books!

He's a standard Han man! It's just that he has the identity of a toast............ It is precisely because of this that Tian Jiucheng didn't realize that the Yan army was completely crushing them until Mamian Mountain was breached! The previous hundred victories were just an illusion, not that the Yan army was weak, nor that the White Lotus army was strong, but that it was caused by various reasons!

The more ignorant you are, the more confident you are, the more you learn, the more you are in awe!

So Yang Yinglong knew in his heart that he was not Dayan's opponent at all! The territory is vast, there are many soldiers, and how many capable people swear allegiance to the death!

The current Dayan is fully capable of hanging up all the known forces in the world and beating them until they call Dad!

How can he, a little toast, be arrogant in front of Dayan? So Yang Yinglong hesitated and was anxious just now, just thinking about how to eliminate the anger of the imperial court, but Sun Shitai gave him this!

Listening to the meaning, it seems that I still have to do a fight with Dayan!

Sun Shitai helplessly looked at Yang Yinglong, who shook his head and turned around to leave, and hurriedly chased after him: "Your idea is right, but you ignored one point." ”

Yang Yinglong looked at Sun Shitai: "What? Sun Shitai stretched out his finger and said, "You didn't make Dayan feel troubled!" ”

Yang Yinglong stopped and looked at Sun Shitai with interest: "I want to hear it in detail." Sun Shitai cleared his throat and said: "20,000 soldiers and horses are just a drop in the bucket for the imperial court!" It's not Dayan's limit, or even that Dayan's battle is just for testing! ”

Sun Shitai's eyes narrowed slightly: "The imperial court is testing your strength as a reference for the next policy attitude towards Banzhou!" ”

Yang Yinglong rubbed his chin and thought when he heard this: "You mean to say that the imperial court wants to beat me now, just to test me, not really to kill me?" ”

Sun Shitai smiled: "Exactly! If the imperial court really wants to exterminate a Tusi, it will not only send 20,000 people! 20,000 people, too uncertain! ”

Yang Yinglong groaned: "What is that gentleman going to do?" Sun Shitai said softly: "For today's plan, the only way to make the court realize that we are not easy to mess with!" Then the imperial court will naturally change its strategic attitude towards us! ”

Yang Yinglong couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this: "Let the court think that we are not easy to mess with?" Mr. Sun, you laughed............ "It makes Dayan feel uncomfortable, not to mention the distance, I'm afraid there is no nearby............

Sun Shitai smiled: "You are joking!" Chitose, the strong don't have to kill all the weak who disobey him, if the weak man still has a knife in his hand that can stab him, it is even less worthless! ”

Yang Yinglong nodded thoughtfully: "What do you mean is that it's not really tearing up with Dayan, but making Dayan feel that there is no need to beat me?" ”

Sun Shitai nodded and said, "Chitose is wise!" The current Dayan has just finished the counterinsurgency in Sichuan and Shaanxi, and this time it is estimated that Dayan's losses are not small, not to mention that Dayan is now waiting for money up and down, at this time, Dayan may not have the heart to meddle in the affairs of the southwest again! ”

Yang Yinglong frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "However, if we kill the officers and soldiers, I'm afraid the imperial court won't give up with us?" ”

Sun Shitai smiled and said: "Even if the imperial court can't swallow this breath anymore, when the losses of a war with us outweigh the benefits, the imperial court may have to swallow this breath hard!" ”

Yang Yinglong was still a little hesitant when he heard this, so Sun Shitai sighed and said: "Actually, this matter is not so simple to end, I'm afraid we will also have to pay some price, at the very least, to get back the face of the imperial court." ”

Yang Yinglong said curiously when he heard this: "What price?" Sun Shitai thought for a moment and said: "I'm afraid that this matter will have to negotiate with the imperial court according to our results at that time, and try to control the price within an acceptable range." ”

Yang Yinglong was silent for a moment when he heard this, and then nodded slowly and said: "Since Mr. said so, then I also believe Sir, and I will personally order troops to meet the enemy in a while!" ”

Sun Shitai bowed slightly and said: "I recommend myself under Maosui, and I am willing to personally lead a team of soldiers to attack Loushan Pass!" As long as Loushan Pass is taken, then no matter how many troops come, it will only be a local chicken! ”

Yang Yinglong nodded slowly and said: "Then it's decided, as for the specific strategic deployment, I will arrange it when the Sichuan Xingdu Division has any thoughts about me!" ”

"Chitose Wise!"

…………

"My lord, the front is Loushan Pass, and when we pass Loushan Pass, the front is Banzhou, and at that time it will be Yang Yinglong's territory."

Wang Jiguang rode on his horse, listened to the guidance of Wang Zhihan, the secretary of the Sichuan Xingdu Division on the side, looked at the Loushan Pass between the green mountains in the distance, and nodded secretly: "Break through the pass as soon as possible, the imperial court's will this time is to exterminate as soon as possible, I hope to be able to capture Hailongtun within half a month, the battle situation on the Sichuan and Shaanxi side is unknown, only in this way can the imperial court continue to support us, otherwise ............"

Wang Jiguang sighed, and Wang Zhihan could only say helplessly: "We don't know much about the strength of the Banzhou native soldiers, so we can only fight and try it first, and the last general can only say that we will do our best!" ”

Wang Jiguang nodded, and was about to speak, when he heard a scout in front of him come over and say, "Report to your lord!" Report to the General! In front, Mu Zhao, the guard of Loushan Pass, personally came to surrender to the pass! ”

Wang Jiguang and Wang Zhihan glanced at each other, and Wang Jiguang muttered: "Could it be that this Mu Zhao is afraid when he sees the majesty of my army?" ”

Wang Zhihan nodded and said: "Even so, adults should still be careful, most of these rebels like to use tricks to surrender, but the last general also thinks that Banzhou Tusi probably doesn't want to tear his face with the imperial court." ”

Wang Jiguang nodded secretly and said, "Anyway, let's go over and have a look." Wang Zhihan nodded and stretched out his hand and said, "My lord, please!" ”

Wang Jiguang rode forward first, and sure enough, he saw a person rushing over with only a few entourages with a smile, and after walking nearby, he turned over and dismounted and knelt down on one knee and said: "The sin general Mu Zhao has seen the adult!" Checkmate! ”

Wang Jiguang stepped forward and said, "Who are you?" So what's going on? Mu Zhao hurriedly said: "The sin general is the general of the native soldiers under the command of Yang Yinglong, the Tusi of the Banzhou Xuanwei Division, and my master only hesitated slightly, but he didn't expect to incur a crusade by the imperial army!" What a misunderstanding! Misunderstanding! ”

Wang Jiguang and Wang Zhihan glanced at each other, Wang Jiguang snorted coldly and scolded Mu Zhao: "Misunderstanding? This official repeatedly ordered Yang Yinglong to come and suffer! He repeatedly didn't come, which is also a misunderstanding? ”

Mu Zhao nodded again and again: "The adult is menacing, my master is inevitably a little worried, so he is a little hesitant, who knows, but these days, the adult actually led troops to attack!" I'm really scared and cold! All are terrified! ”

Mu Zhao raised his head and said: "Therefore, my master specially ordered me to wait for the adults here, and I must explain it clearly to the adults, so that the adults know that we are still good people under the rule of Dayan, and there is no intention of rebellion!" Please also take a break from the wrath of the thunder, I am a little Banzhou, and I really can't afford it! I am afraid that the people below are not sensible and offend adults, so the early life and crime will be waiting here to welcome, to explain the reason, and to invite the adults to enter the customs, and so on to my Hailongtun, will be put in the wine to bear the guilt! ”

Wang Jiguang was silent when he heard this, and he was still hesitant in his heart, Wang Zhihan also thought for a moment and stepped forward and said: "My lord, this person's words may be somewhat credible, but it is really deceitful, I am waiting for 10,000 troops here, what can he do if his small Loushan Pass is only a few soldiers and horses?" ”

Wang Jiguang actually believed it a little, after all, there are not many ruthless people who dare to grit their teeth and carry it to the end when they see the Great Yan expedition, and Yang Yinglong is not a ruthless person who fights endlessly, does he really dare to go against the imperial army?

Thinking like this, Wang Jiguang made up his mind and said: "Since you have repented so sincerely, it is not impossible for this official and the court to give you this opportunity, as long as Yang Yinglong is willing to go back to Chengdu with this official to accept the investigation, why bother to use swords?" ”

In fact, the imperial court itself is hesitant about whether the southwest Tusi will use troops, so it will only send 20,000 people, and the attitude of the imperial court must have an impact on Wang Jiguang, so it is better not to fight, of course, not to fight!

Wang Jiguang must have thought the same way at this time, so he breathed a sigh of relief and felt that things might not have room for change!

Mu Zhao also hurriedly nodded yes, and then stretched out his hand to Wang Jiguang and said, "My lord, please!" The Sin General will immediately call them to switch it off and ask the Imperial Court Heavenly Army to pass! ”

Saying that, Mu Zhao went to Loushan Pass, and then the gate of Loushan Pass slowly opened, at this time, both Wang Jiguang and Wang Zhihan, who was a soldier, relaxed, thinking that Yang Yinglong was really going to surrender.

The imperial army slowly walked through the Loushan Pass, and when the imperial army was close to two-thirds of the way over, Mu Zhao, who was standing on the city wall, suddenly bent the corners of his mouth, and shouted a little coldly: "Close the city gate!" ”

Wang Jiguang and Wang Zhihan below were shocked, and when they looked back, they saw that the gate of Loushan Pass was slammed shut! Blocked the remaining three or four thousand soldiers from the pass!

Wang Zhihan reacted very quickly, and immediately shouted: "It's not good! Hit the trick! Get ready for battle! Who knew that before the words fell, he heard the sound of shouting and killing all around!

The remaining 6,000 people were surrounded by the Tu Corps that rushed out of nowhere! And Mu Zhao on Loushan Pass also ordered to release arrows at the soldiers who were locked up outside the pass!

The soldiers who were locked up outside the customs were not commanded by the generals, and the middle and lower-level officers could not be suppressed at all, so they scattered and fled, and suddenly suffered heavy casualties!

And Wang Zhihan, Wang Jiguang and others in the pass are also not doing well, and the native soldiers who rushed out from all sides killed them by surprise, and they were still quite flustered under the hasty defense!

Wang Jiguang was furious, and scolded Mu Zhao and the others, but Wang Zhihan forcibly calmed down, and then pulled Wang Jiguang and said, "My lord! Now is not the time to talk about that! Let's withdraw! ”

Wang Jiguang also calmed down after being emotional for a while: "General Wang, please organize the soldiers to break through!" Let's go and join General Guo Cheng on the North Road! ”

When Wang Zhihan heard this, he hurriedly ordered the soldiers to break through to the north, but how easy was it to say? Where is it good to get out of being surrounded by so many people?

When Wang Jiguang and the others broke out of the encirclement, when they checked the people around them, they found that the losses were no longer tragic! More than 12,000 people, and in the end, it is estimated that less than 7,000 remained! Wang Jiguang looked up to the sky and sighed, this time it is not good to estimate that his position as governor should be done!

At this time, Loushan in the distance was closed, and a man in a gray scribe's robe also walked out slowly, it was Sun Shitai!

Mu Zhao stepped forward and said to Sun Shitai: "Mr. Sun, everything has been done according to your instructions, this time it is conservatively estimated that the army of the imperial court will have to kill or wound six or seven thousand people!" ”

Sun Shitai smiled slightly, as if he didn't care at all, and said: "It's useless to say this, the general should hurry up and take people to pursue the soldiers and horses on the North Road, and everything will be done according to the plan." ”

When Mu Zhao heard this, he hurriedly surrendered his hand and said yes, and then ordered the native soldiers, and hurriedly rushed to the north to chase the remnants of Wang Jiguang and others!

At this time, Wang Jiguang and others also successfully joined the soldiers and horses of the North Road, Guo Cheng also heard about the defeat of the Chinese army by Yang Yinglong's people at this time, and when he was surprised, Wang Jiguang and others had already led thousands of remnants to vote for him!

Guo Cheng hurriedly led people to follow Wang Jiguang and others to the handsome tent, Wang Zhihan was a little ashamed and said to Guo Cheng: "Brother Guo! It's all because I didn't command properly, and the 10,000 imperial army actually ............ Alas! ”

Guo Cheng hurriedly comforted Wang Zhihan and said: "Anti-thief and treacherous, it has nothing to do with Brother Wang, that is, whoever is in that situation will have this result." ”

Wang Jiguang also sighed and said: "In the final analysis, it is the last order of the official, and it has little to do with General Wang, and all the blame is naturally borne by the official." ”

Wang Jiguang frowned slightly and looked at Guo Chengdao: "But now is not the time to discuss whose guilt is responsible, when we come, we must have brought the guards of Loushan Pass, they have no reason not to pursue us, and the general has to prepare early!" ”

Guo Cheng perked up when he heard this, and hurriedly nodded yes, at this time, the scouts below also sent back news that there were indeed signs of chasing soldiers in the direction of Loushan Pass, and after Wang Jiguang and them left, they did send chasing soldiers!

When Guo Cheng heard this, he hurriedly ordered people to prepare to meet the enemy, and even said to Wang Jiguang: "Don't worry, my lord, the general will be properly arranged here, and the Loushan guard will not know that we have not yet joined the battlefield. ”

When Wang Jiguang heard this, he could only pray that Guo Cheng could rely on some genealogy, and he could really catch the pursuers off guard............

Who knew that everyone had been in ambush in place for a long time, and from noon to when the sun was about to set, they didn't see a single shadow of the enemy!

Wang Jiguang, Guo Cheng and others hurriedly sent scouts to investigate again, if the enemy army did not pursue, they would first converge the remnants and march into the army! Who wants to squat in this ravine for the night?

Just when Guo Cheng was about to let him out to scout and investigate, a grizzled man hurriedly ran in, and as soon as he came in, he knelt on the ground and cried bitterly: "General Guo! Come and save us on the West Road! We are surrounded by 10,000 native soldiers! I really can't break through! My brothers did their best to get me out for help! One step later, I'm afraid that the soldiers and horses of the West Road will be completely annihilated! ”

"What did you say!"

The three of them stood up in shock, and then Guo Cheng angrily slammed the table: "Hey! The thieves are cunning, and we are waiting for the enemy's voice to attack the west! ”

Wang Jiguang and Wang Zhihan both sat back weakly, and the 20,000 army had actually killed and injured most of them so far! This kind of record is a bit ugly to say! If this is passed back, they will definitely not have any good fruit to eat!

At that moment, Guo Cheng's face was gloomy for a long time, and he hurriedly collected the remnants, gathered enough about seven or eight thousand people, and hurried to the rescue of the Western Route Army!

At this time, Cao Xibin, the leader of the Western Route Army and the deputy chief soldier of the Sichuan Xingdu Division, was already secretly scolding his mother! I just got the news that the South Route Army had fled to the North Road after being surrendered, and I was just about to take the opportunity to change the route and attack Loushan Pass!

He thought that the guards of Loushan Pass would inevitably Wang Jiguang them, and when Loushan Pass was empty, wouldn't it be the time for a sneak attack?

Who would have thought that people would want to go with him! He wanted to attack the west, but he didn't expect people to be the same! On the surface, he pursued Wang Jiguang, but secretly he came to his Western Route Army! The two sides actually bumped together!
