An Ye, the Qi army shuttled back and forth in the battlefield, and the war had come to an end.

There was a faint layer of red floating in the air, and the bloody atmosphere was disgusting.

The corpses were piled up like mountains, and the blood flowed into a small river, flowing slowly down a dirt slope.

Hu Luguang stepped over the sea of corpses and blood, and the soft mud ground watered by blood instantly sank, and a layer of light brown blood oozing from the ground stained the thin soles of his boots.

Hu Luguang's expression at this time was still not tired, and he had not yet recovered from the excitement of the war.

"Zuo Xiang......" Gao Changgong clenched his fists behind him, "The last general has ordered someone to make sure, it is indeed not Yu Wenxian's corpse......"

"Yu Wenxian ran away...... "Hu Luguang's expression was a little complicated, "Attacking from all sides, he can run away, this kid is really as lucky as Yuwentai......"

Hu Luguang waved his hand and said, "Continue to search, send out all the scouts, live to see people, dead to see corpses!" ”

Gao Changgong paused, clasped his fists and said, "Obey!" ”

In fact, they all understand that Yu Wenxian has escaped, and it is unlikely that he will find it again.

In this battle, the Zhou army was defeated, and at least 60,000 or 70,000 Zhou troops scattered and fled.

Yu Wenxian is mixed in these chaotic armies, as long as he himself is unwilling to show up, who can find him?

Gao Changgong can understand Hu Luguang's approach, in this battle, everyone has seen Yu Wenxian's extraordinary ability to command troops, if it weren't for Hu Luguang and Gao Changgong's slightly better skills, then it is still unknown who will have the last laugh in this war.

The move is deadly, and the knife is ruthless.

Yu Wenxian's strategic height was enough for the two to treat him as equals.

If this person is allowed to return to the Northern Zhou Dynasty, then there will definitely be one more great enemy in the future!

Yu Wenxian is alive, and it is difficult for them to be stable after all......

"Order the army to rest in place for a day, and send troops to Dinglong on the second day, we must rush before the old thief of Yuwen Hu has not been arranged, and open the passage east of Dinglong as soon as possible, hurry! ……”

It wasn't until he listened to Gao Changgong's report that Hu Luguang felt relaxed, and then sleepiness surged up like a tide.

He rubbed his brows, tried to banish some of the sleepiness, and then ordered.

After more than a dozen days and nights of planning and layout, even Hu Luguang felt tired, he was no longer young after all......

"Zuo Xiang, wouldn't this be too hasty? We have just defeated Yu Wenxian, and this is the time when the whole army needs to rest......"

Gao Changgong tried to persuade Hu Luguang, but in essence, he still did not agree with Hu Luguang's plan to penetrate Tongzhou from Dinglong and enter Yongzhou.

However, Hu Luguang showed amazing stubbornness in this regard, and showed a stern expression to Gao Changgong for the first time.

"This commander ordered the whole army to rest for one day, and on the second day, send troops to Dinglong!"

The whip was raised, almost pointing at Gao Changgong's nose.

A few days ago, Hu Luguang, who was still talking and laughing with everyone and pointing at his juniors, was like an angry lion at this time, his breathing quietly became heavy, and his eyes were bloodshot.

"What Ben Shuai said is a military order, there is no doubt, you want Ben Shuai to listen to you, unless one day, you become Ben Shuai's superior!

…… Before that, Ben Shuai told you to go east, you can't go west ......! ”

Gao Chang bowed his head respectfully, and Hu Luguang couldn't see his expression.

"Do you know what a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity this is for me?

After this time, the old man may not have a chance to take Yongzhou again......! ”

After a while, Hu Luguang said this, his tone was a little softer, but it was still a little stiff.

"But have you thought about it, Wei Xiaokuan is already doomed to attack the rear of our army and threaten Fenbei, Zuo Xiang led the army to confront Yuwen Hu in the same state, how can he guarantee that he can defeat Yuwen Hu before Wei Xiaokuan captures Fenbei?"

Gao Changgong was not overwhelmed by Hu Lvguang's momentum, and coldly competed with Hu Lvguang, making it hard to believe that this was the humble King of Lanling on weekdays.

Hu Luguang's brows furrowed even deeper, staring at him:

“…… Previously, our army retreated from Yiyang, and Yuwen Hu, the old thief, thought that our army was defeated, so he let Yuwen Xian take advantage of the victory to pursue our army.

The old man expected that Yuwen Hu thought that Yu Wenxian would swallow us up nine times out of ten, and he would definitely send troops from Hezhou, Tongzhou, and Xunzhou to gather in the Dinglong area, and wait for the news of Yuwenxian's defeat of our army to send troops eastward!

The old man defeated Yuwenxian at this time, and attacked Dinglong when Yuwenhu's foothold was not stable, and he could break the Zhou army! ……”

"Zuo Xiang seems to be thinking too simply," Gao Changgong stared into Hu Luguang's eyes, "Yuwen Hu is shrinking in Tongzhou, both the strength and materials are far from being comparable to our army, our army wants to advance eastward, and it is necessary to be the same as the original battle against Yu Wenxian, first prepare for a protracted war, it will not work without sufficient food and grass."

More than half of our army's grain and grass have been lost, and Luoyang is eager to recover the two counties of Heyin, so if you want to continue to get enough money and food, you can only let the military towns in Fenbei support.

But Fenbei is not safe, as long as Wei Xiaokuan sends troops to respond to Yuwen Hu, then our army's grain route will be blocked.

Wei Xiaokuan will definitely not let this money and grain be transported over in full and tail, and what if our army forms a confrontation with Yuwen Hu under the same state? ”

Gao Changgong sighed and said: "Zuo Xiang, the last general can understand your hard work, but what you plan is too big, it is not something that our army can do now, Zuo Xiang still sends troops to Yiyang and Dinglong, and then ......make plans."

"-These are already within the old man's plan, you don't need to say more, I have made up my mind!"

Hu Luguang interrupted him coldly, turned sideways, closed his eyes and stopped looking at him.

A trace of anger flashed in Gao Changgong's eyes, and he said: "Does Zuo Xiang not know the consequences of doing this, or does he deliberately avoid it but insists on going his own way?" ”

"Presumptuous!" Hu Luguang opened his eyes and glared at him angrily, Gao Changgong did not show weakness, and stubbornly stared at Hu Luguang's eyes.

After a long silence, he slowly spoke: "Since you are not willing to follow the old man to Tongzhou, then you can lead your Beida camp of 10,000 people to be stationed in Fenbei." ”

"Beware of Wei Xiaokuan's attack on Fenbei to ensure the transportation of money and grain for the army, if there is a half-point difference in grain and grass, the old man is the only one who asks ......!"

With that, Hu Luguang strode away.

Gao Changgong stood in place, still maintaining the posture of arching his hands, and slowly, he put his hands down.

After a long time, a trace of coolness floated down from the sky, falling on the forehead, slightly cold.

Gao Changgong found that the blue gray sky was covered with tiny rains like cow's hair at some point.

Like needles and cotton, wisps of silk, mourning for a long time.

The rain slowly became heavier, and after a while, the drizzle turned into raindrops the size of rice beans, washing the land.

"General ......" The adjutant general draped a coat over Gao Changgong's shoulders, "Beware of the cold......

Gao Changgong raised his face, letting the raindrops wash over his face, and only after a while did he turn around and take one last look at the camp in the distance.

"Tell me that when the rain ceases tomorrow morning, we will be separated from the army. Let everyone pack up and get ready to go. ”

"Where are we going?" The adjutant asked subconsciously.

Gao Changgong stepped on the blood on the ground with one shallow foot, and said lightly: "Fenbei." ”……

In the boundless wilderness, the mountains loomed in the rain curtain, and countless embarrassed figures shrank forward in the rain curtain.

They wore uniform, not too thin undergarments, some of them with loose armor, and some of them lost their boots.

Apparently this is a group of deserters, and at this time they no longer have the distinction between superior and inferior.

Everyone's spirit seemed to be cooled by the rain, and the whole person walked aimlessly in the rain like a walking corpse.

In the wilderness, not even a tree could be found to keep the rain out, so they were exposed to the canopy, allowing the cold rain to soak their clothes.

Among the deserters, there was a small group of inconspicuous people who did not fit in with this loose group of routs.

Although they are also unkempt, the temperament of these people is obviously different from that of other routs.

Their expressions were not as depressed as the other deserters, and when they walked, they firmly guarded one person in the middle, and some willing soldiers saw it, and secretly wondered in their hearts, thinking that this should be the big man who escaped with the rebellious army.

Yu Wenxian wore the clothes of a small soldier and escaped from Shengtian surrounded by guards.

The rain gradually subsided, and the outline of the township could be faintly seen in front of them, and the rebels who saw it cheered and ran towards it one after another, and then all the deserters quickened their pace.

A strong man with a knife respectfully said to Yu Wenxian, who was dressed as a pawn:

"Your Highness, there is a township not far ahead, let's speed up and take a rest there......"

Yu Wenxian nodded, coughed a few times, an abnormal flush welled up on his pale face, his legs went weak, and he almost fell to the ground.

"Your Highness......!" The guards exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly supported Yu Wenxian, only to see that Yu Wenxian had a tendency to faint and was hot.

"Someone, someone, hurry up and carry His Highness down to the front to find Langzhong!"

"Don't ......!" Yu Wenxian pressed his hand and said, "Help me up, I can still walk......"

"Your Highness......!" The guard's eyes were red, and he shouted anxiously.

Yu Wenxian glanced up at him, his eyes were a little sloppy, and he said weakly:

“…… The Qi army will definitely send scouts to pursue, how can you treat me like this without being conspicuous? Put me down ......! ”

So the guards had no choice but to put him down, and Yu Wenxian shook a few times, but he finally stood firm.

He walked with the support of his guards, and as he went, he commanded: "Most of the defeated troops should be assembled in the city in front ......,

When the evening comes, take my seal, and order them to assemble all the soldiers and horses, count the number of people, and not allow them to run around, and stabilize the situation first......

Ahem...... cough cough cough ......"

Yu Wenxian coughed violently as he spoke.

Seeing this, the guards became more and more anxious, "Your Highness, let's settle down in the neighborhood first, and then talk about this matter when we return to Tongzhou after recuperating from our illness......

"Can't go back to the same state!" Yu Wenxian tried to keep a little clear in his mind, and said, "I can't go back to Tongzhou......

If I don't go back, I may be able to save this life, but if I do, I can't help myself with this life......"

The guards were stunned for a moment, and understood that what Yu Wenxian said was right.

In this defeat, Otsuka Zai will definitely be furious, and he will count all the accounts on Yu Wenxian's head.

But if they don't go back to Tongzhou, where can they go?

So he wondered, "So what do we do?" ”

Yu Wenxian smiled weakly and said, "After gathering the soldiers and horses, we will pick out 20,000 people, and abandon the rest...... Let's go to Fenbei! ……”

"Fenbei?" The guards were puzzled, and said with some concern: "I'm afraid that Otsuka Zai's side will pursue His Royal Highness......"

Yu Wenxian tried hard to pull up a sneering smile and said, "Otsuka Zai...... Heh, in a few days, Otsuka Jae will have to take care of himself, where is the kung fu to take care of me? ”

“…… The reason why I chose to go to Fenbei is because there, there is still a chance for me to turn over......! Hold me ......"

In the rain that gradually stopped, Yu Wenxian staggered forward.

In the Zhaoyang Palace, the candlelight is warm, and the rain is sprinkled on the ground outside the hall.

There was a brocade box lying quietly on the dragon case, and there was a wax pill in the brocade box.

Gao Wei picked up the wax pill and crushed it, revealing a note inside.

"This is the latest news from the front?"

Liu Taozhi knelt down on one knee and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, there is no doubt that as soon as the news is verified, the Jinyi spy sent it with Xinying as soon as the news was verified, which is a few days faster than the fastest military report, absolutely credible!" ”

From Luoyang to Yecheng, it is only three days to rush 800 miles.

Use the letter eagle to pass the book, and it can be arrived in one day.

Gao Wei let out an "um" and broke the note a little nervously.

It was the first war since he came to power, and the impact was far-reaching.

Saying that you are not nervous, that you are not expecting, that is false......

Gao Wei fixed his eyes, slowly stretched his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Very good......!" Stand down......"

This war was of far-reaching significance, not only as an important step in Cushman & Wakefield's establishment of authority, but also as an impact on the war situation in the years that followed.

What he has to do now is to pry the pattern of the world step by step.

But in the final analysis, he still doesn't have full confidence in his heart for this war.

Even though Hu Luguang and Gao Changgong are famous generals in the world, Wei Xiaokuan and Yu Wenxian over there are not fuel-efficient lamps.

Besides, the Northern Zhou came prepared this time, and the troops, money and food were better than the Qi army, and this victory or defeat was really difficult to say.

This time, Hu Luguang is not fighting a tug-of-war with a safe insurance, but a decisive battle with Yu Wenxian's hundreds of thousands of troops, which is beyond the trajectory of history.

If you lose, the consequences will be unpredictable...... But fortunately, it won......

[Fortunately, I won the ......!] 】

Gao Wei was in a very good mood, walked out of the inner hall with his hands behind his back, and when he passed by the cabinet, Zhao Yan was surprised and said, "Your Majesty? ”

In the past, the emperor would never come out if he didn't finish handling government affairs in the inner hall, and if there was something, he would directly summon the ministers and the Privy Council, what happened today?

Gao Wei smiled and raised his hand, signaled for exemption, and said: "Today is shocking, government affairs are busy, Zhao Xiang still has to pay attention to his body, and go back to rest earlier, I am also going to rest, what is the matter, talk to me tomorrow......"

After speaking, he left the Zhaoyang Palace surrounded by a large group of eunuchs and armor soldiers and went to Jiafu Palace.

At this time, Wan'er had just ordered someone to prepare hot soup, but saw Gao Wei stepping in.

"Your Majesty?" The queen looked blankly at her husband, who had returned early.

Gao Wei laughed, came over and hugged Wan'er tightly, and kissed her a few times on her little face.

"Your Majesty, why are you so happy?" Wan'er blushed and pushed Gao Wei away, and glanced at him coquettishly, so many people were watching......

Gao Wei smiled narrowly and pinched her upturned little Yao nose and moved, "...... you guess?"

Wan'er shook her head and shook off his evil hand, "Hmph, don't guess......"

"Not at all ......" ......

Stinging day. The stinging insects woke up, everything recovered, the weather became warmer, and there was gradually spring thunder.

The world is in good luck.
