Today's northern Hebei is already blooming everywhere, and various major wars have been staged one after another.

The collision between dozens of armies rendered this place in full swing, and the shadow of the army could be seen almost everywhere.

In a big brawl like this, Yang Ming barely received much useful military information, everyone was fighting, and it was a question of whether the rangers sent out to report the war could come back, and northern Hebei was in chaos.

Tu Wanxu hit Changle County, it was not very smooth, this is not to blame him, Changle County is the capital of Xindu County, Xindu County was the capital of Jizhou during the Kaihuang period, although the city defense is not as good as Jinyang, but it is not much worse.

Yang Jian completely destroyed Yecheng, the capital of the old Qi, burned it to rubble, and set the capital of Hebei in Xindu, so Changle County spent a lot of money to build a city defense, and the most terrible thing is that the defense system of Changle County was planned and built by Gao Gong and Yu Wenkai.

Yang Rui's good friend Wei Yuancheng's father, Wei Yuancheng, used to sit here, and later Yujuluo.

An army of 60,000 troops attacked the city for 11 days before it could be considered to have eaten the surrounding forts, and surrounded it from the west, south, and east, leaving an opening in the north.

So now, there is only one left to attack the county seat.

Filling the moat and attacking the city wall was the last resort, but Tu Wanxu couldn't be happy, because he had been dragged on for too long, and he had realized that Gao Shida's reinforcements could be killed back at any time.

Therefore, he ordered the left and right lieutenant generals Hong Jing and Chang Xu to lead 10,000 men each, and lined up five miles away from the east and west flanks of the Chinese army to guard against attacking the camp.

"I asked from the mouth of a thief, the guard general of Changle is not surnamed Han, surnamed Gao, called Gao Shunde, is the son of Gao Renya, the king of the old Qi Anle," the son Tu Wanliao said.

On Tu Wanxu's side, he caught a lot of prisoners and asked the name of the guard, and they all said that they were surnamed Han, but Tu Wanxu felt that it was impossible, because the enemy's defense of the city was very orderly, and he was by no means nameless.

"Gao Renya?" Tu Wanxu looked at the staff beside him suspiciously.

Ling Huxi explained: "Because this person has a secret disease, he was not killed after the destruction of the country, and he was exempted from migrating to Shu together with Gao Renying, the king of Gaoping. ”

The brothers of Gao Wei, the queen of Qi, except for Gao Renying and Gao Renya, were all killed by Yuwen Yong in Chang'an.

Gao Renya is because of a dark disease, what is a dark disease? It is a condition that cannot speak due to physical defects or diseases, and it is a mute, and for the disabled, many dynasties will still take care of it.

As for why Gao Renying didn't die, the historical records call it mental frivolity, which does not mean that he is arrogant and arrogant, debauched, but mentally a little wrong, and he can be regarded as a disabled person.

In the Kaihuang period, in order to subdue the hearts of the people in the world, Yang Guang issued an edict to Gao Renying, Xiao Cong, and Chen Shubao to represent the old Qi, the old Liang, and the old Chen, and repair their own sect sacrifices.

"It turned out to be from a famous family, no wonder it was so stable," Tu Wanxu sighed: "The Bohai Gao clan is disturbing Hebei, and the crime should be punished." ”

Ling Fox sighed and said: "The official document urged by the prince is three times a day, and if we can't beat it again, I'm afraid we will have to bear the charge." ”

Tu Wanxu shook his head with a wry smile and said nothing.

In fact, he knew very well in his heart that it was necessary for the prince to urge him, although the prince knew that he was difficult and understood him in his heart, but he would not understand it on the surface.

If he can't beat him, he will be guilty, yes, it's not my fault, but it's mine.

My subordinates are all Wagang rebels, different from when they fought in Liaodong, there is not a single heavy siege equipment, if it weren't for the prince allotted them some weapons, some people still have sticks in their hands.

There is only one advantage left, and there is only one advantage left, but he bumped into an old Qi remnant who is very good at defending the city.

The march of the army, the grain and grass army, will only be in one place, that is, the main force under the command of the main general, behind the buttocks.

Because the grain and grass are too important, all the main generals will be firmly in their own hands, just like Yang Ming, all the military supplies of the army are with him, where is missing, report the number, he will allocate it as appropriate.

The same goes for Gao Shida, his military baggage, just behind his ass, is escorted by his own son Goldman Sachs.

Gao Shenghui, formerly known as Gao Hui, did not have the word Sheng, because their branch was a side branch and could not be typeset with the main branch, but after Gao Shida rebelled, he wanted this power with the clan.

It is equivalent to saying that Gao Shida and Gao Gong are of the same generation, and his son Gao Shenghui and Gao Shengdao are of the same generation.

In order to unite the three main branches of the Gao family, the family tree was rebuilt under the auspices of Gao Gong, and the three branches were changed to the same characters.

If Xu Shiji wants to burn the grain and grass of the 100,000 rebels, he has to find Gao Shida, and Gao Shida's Chinese army must be in the middle, so he needs to break through many obstacles to find it.

The light cavalry of 1,000 men had only been on the road for four days, and they were pursued by various shots on the way, and 200 were killed and wounded.

Don't talk about the dead, and the injured Xu Shiji won't care, just let them find a way to go back.

Eight hundred strong men stumbled, jumping sideways from side to side in the enemy's ranks, running back and forth, not knowing how many long detours.

Where there are villages, there must be rebels, who do not even have a place to shelter from the wind and rain, they sleep in the open air, march hard, and lose dozens of people because of disease.

What Xuan Ting gave him this time, if it weren't for Hedong Qu, these guards would have been able to kill Xu Shiji.

They have already seen that following this Xu military general this time is doing an errand with his head pinned to his waist.

This night, they rested in a barren mountain and a broken temple, and wanted to light a fire to keep warm, but they were stopped by Xu Shiji.

"Ignition will expose us, so bear with us."

Pei Sheng suddenly frowned and said, "I said general, until now, you haven't told the brothers what are we going to do this time?" You are also the crown prince's hand, and we are the prince's people, what can't you say to us? ”

As soon as he took the lead, several other brigade commanders also complained.

Xu Shiji said with a smile: "It is inconvenient to inform you of the major military situation, and I ask for your understanding." ”

If I tell you, you will not do it.

Pei Jiu said: "We are His Highness's private army, the most elite, to serve His Highness, we can do any hard errands, but you have to let us have a number in our hearts." ”

He is talking nonsense, they are the earliest team of the prince, one by one, and they don't take a little-known person like Xu Shiji in their eyes at all.

Are you a general? My surname is Pei.

Xu Shiji is very cautious, he will not show his bottom, just smiled: "Since you are all mentally prepared, then just do what I order, if you don't obey it, you will have your own military law." ”

Pei Sheng smiled: "You don't have to scare us with military law, you should know that the prince protects the short, our relationship with the prince is not comparable to you." ”

Xu Shiji said expressionlessly: "The prince is strict in governing the army, you also know, Huainan Gong has arrangements for you before leaving, so that you can listen to me, but everyone doesn't seem to take this sentence to heart." ”

"But it didn't let you abandon your robe," Pei Sheng said angrily: "The brothers are all the Hedong disciples of His Highness, His Highness cherishes him like a son, and when he comes to you, he doesn't take our lives seriously, I said Xu Shiji, believe it or not, I killed you." ”

Xu Shiji raised his hand and loosened his placket, and said lightly: "My head is here, you just have to take it, but if you delay the prince's major event, even if we die, it will be difficult to atone for his sins." ”

At this time, Pei Xing, who had been sitting in the corner and did not speak, raised his hand and said, "Okay, okay, let's go out together, it's a robe, everyone is angry, don't fight in the nest." ”

He is the second son of Pei Zhong, the leader of Pei Shuying's personal guards, and the leader of this group of Hedong soldiers.

Xu Shiji can't suppress these people, and the elite has a disadvantage, that is, it is not easy to manage.

"Second brother, something is wrong with us coming out all the way, running around, no goal, I don't know what to do, the brothers are not afraid of death, they are afraid of death," Pei Sheng looked at Pei Xingdao.

Pei Xing touched the hometown soil hanging on his waist, and said: "Since we are carrying this handful of soil, our brothers don't care about life and death, General Xu Jun can talk about it, I can guarantee that no one dares to make a mistake." ”

Xu Shiji knows the origin of the other party, this kid's Pei was given the surname by Pei Ju, and he is a retainer of the Pei family.

When will these people play with their lives? When protecting the crown prince, this is called a well-deserved death, but at other times, he may not be willing to die.

Xu Shiji spoke to Pei Xing, and he was still polite: "Vice General Pei only needs to know, I will wait for this time to come out, Xu Cheng will not be defeated, I don't want this head, but things must be done, I am also the prince's hand, I am an unknown junior, I was courteous by the prince, and I was able to serve the country, although it is difficult to repay my death." ”

The others were about to refute, but Pei Xing raised his hand to stop them: "Okay, since you say so, I won't ask any questions, after all, we are our own people, how to arrange it tomorrow, you can talk to the brothers." ”

Xu Shiji nodded, took out a worn-out map from his arms, and began to compare.

In fact, he is also weak-hearted, and he is really afraid that people will slaughter him.

The prince's people are a tough group and can do anything, after all, his level and qualifications are too shallow to suppress these people.

But Xu Shiji's mouth is really strict, in fact, if he says it, Pei Xing and they will do the same, elite, what they do is what others can't do.

In this way, two days later, there were only more than six hundred people left, and the current position was only forty or fifty miles away from Changle County, but they determined the location of Gao Shida's main force.

"I see, you're going to burn their baggage?" Pei Xing finally came to his senses.

Pei Sheng snorted coldly: "I thought it was the assassination of Gao Shida, you are really strict." ”

Xu Shiji sat on the horse and said with a smile: "If you go east from this, within more than ten miles, there will be rebels with grain and grass, and the brothers have prepared the oil." ”

Pei Xing smiled heartily: "Although you look down on our brothers a little, but your prudence is still admirable, how do you say that?" Those who have thunder in their chests and face like a peaceful lake can worship the general, if they succeed this time, Xu Jun will inevitably rise to prominence. ”

"Then I have to come back alive," Xu Shiji arched his hand to everyone: "This time I have arrived here with you through all obstacles, and there is only one last battle left, and I am willing to go to life and death with you." ”

Pei Xing raised his whip and laughed: "Hedong Erlang, let's follow General Xu to attack the camp." ”

Six hundred men followed the path and at great speed, touched the army behind the palace of Gaoshida.
