Inside the woods.

Yuan Mujue's eyes were cold, and his face was indifferent.

He listened to the whizzing arrows rain down in his ears.

In his mind, he had already begun to ponder the excuse of how to explain to Cen Wei for a while.

Not much.

After a rain of arrows.

Outside, Wang Suba's soldiers and horses were no longer able to stand and speak.

Yuan Mujue waved his hand gently, and the cronies and soldiers on his side stepped out and killed all the Hupan Mountain bandits who were still struggling on the ground.

"General, the tail of the hand has been dealt with...... However, Nie Shixiong lost his trace. ”

A moment later.

An adjutant general walked to Yuan Mujue's side and whispered.

"Send a troop of troops and horses to look for ...... in the vicinity The others will return to the Wolf's Head Mountain Cottage with me. ”

Listened to this.

Yuan Mujue frowned slightly, and then said.

"Yes!"

A group of soldiers surrendered their hands together, and then followed Yuan Mujue's orders and acted according to the plan.

……

No further ado.

Not for a while.

Yuan Mujue led his troops and horses back to the left side of Wolf's Head Mountain.

Meanwhile.

Na Cen Wei, Feng Ding, and Ma Duan also led the soldiers and horses back to the mountains.

The two groups met at the foot of the mountain.

When Yuan Mujue saw Cen Wei, he immediately smiled bitterly, bowed his hand, and apologized: "The last general lost his strength in battle, resulting in the defeat of Wang Xu's troops and horses, and please punish the eldest brother!"

Cen Wei patted Yuan Mujue on the shoulder and said, "This is a powerful soldier for Wang Jun, and it is not a matter of virtuous brothers!"

When Yuan Mujue heard this, his eyes were hot, and he was about to kneel on the ground immediately, but he was pulled by Cen Wei.

Then.

Yuan Mujue changed his words and asked Cen Wei, "Big brother, I don't know how the battle situation is on your side?"

Cen Wei sighed and said, "Although we have won all the way to Gao Junya, it is just a miserable victory!"

Originally.

This Cen Wei fought against Gao Junya with a group of soldiers and horses.

He took advantage of the night to crash into Gao Junya's camp.

At first, it was quite smooth.

But when Gao Junya, Wei Kuo, and Wei Tongfang reacted and organized soldiers and horses to compete, the heroes of Wolf's Head Mountain fell into a bitter battle.

First of all.

Feng Ding's arm injury has not healed, and his marksmanship is naturally inferior to that of his heyday.

He bumped into Wei Kuo, fought for twelve or thirteen rounds, and then couldn't resist, and when he turned to flee, Cen Wei personally arrived and fought with Wei Kuo.

And the other side.

Ma Duan slapped the horse and danced the knife, met Wei Tongfang, fought twice, and fought for thirty or forty rounds in the dark night, regardless of victory or defeat.

When both sides are killed in the depths.

That Cen Wei was haunted by a big sword, and after fifty rounds, Wei Kuo couldn't resist it, so he made a false move, turned around and walked backwards.

took the opportunity of Wei Kuo's defeat and left.

Cen Wei led the army to rush forward and directly crashed into Gao Junya's Chinese army, preparing to capture the king first.

Wei Kuo and Wei Tongfang on both sides, seeing the danger of their own commanders, retreated one after another, trying to support the Chinese army.

And as soon as they retreated, the defensive formation in front was suddenly scattered by Cen Wei.

Gao Junya had no choice but to retreat with his soldiers and horses, and retreated all the way to Wang Junke's camp and joined him.

Cen Wei saw Gao Junya retreating, and he was afraid that Wang Jun would be prepared, and his corporal suffered a lot of losses, so he also withdrew his troops and retreated to Wolf's Head Mountain.

Since then.

Cen Wei and the others stuck to the cottage, stepping up the construction of fortifications on the one hand, and repairing a book on the other hand, and sent it to Shan Xiongxin in Erxian Village, so that he could come to make a decision.

……

The words are divided into two ends.

Let's talk about Gao Junya's soldiers.

Retreat to the king's camp.

The two lords will meet.

Gao Junya said: "General Wang, I am very ashamed of the defeat this time, but I am also a mistake in using my troops carelessly!"

Wang Junke waved his hand and said: "This matter is not a long history, the soldiers and horses of Wolf Head Mountain are really powerful, even I didn't expect it."

Gao Junya sighed and said: "For today's plan, if you lead the soldiers and horses back to Youzhou, I am afraid that you will be blamed by the Marquis of Dingbei, how to deal with it now, and ask General Wang to show me!"

Wang Junke said: "If you continue to encircle and suppress Wolf's Head Mountain, I'm afraid the gains outweigh the losses...... Just now, our army broke through the thieves who attacked the camp behind the rear, and under strict interrogation, I knew that it was the soldiers and horses of the king of Hupan Mountain, so I have a plan now. ”

When Gao Junya heard this, she was slightly stunned, and then asked, "What's the matter?"

Wang Junke said: "In the first battle, our army killed the generals under Wang Junke, and captured countless banners of thieves...... It is better to take Hupan Mountain directly, raid his lair, borrow the head of the Hupan Mountain thief, and the gold and silver treasures in his cottage, as the imperial bar, and send them to Luoyang...... In this way, we can not only make a contribution, but also make up for the fault of the emperor, isn't it the best of both worlds? ”

"This matter ......"

When Gao Junya heard this, her brows furrowed slightly, and after a slight groan, she nodded slightly.

"In that case, let's take a break without further ado, and then go to Hupan Mountain?"

Wang Junke looked at Gao Junya and said.

"Good! Everything is under the orders of General Wang! ”

Gao Junya nodded and said to Wang Junke.

……

"Hahahaha!"

A few days later.

Youzhou City.

Among the Dingbei Hou Mansions.

Wang Ke couldn't help laughing when he took the military report sent by Wang Junke.

"Husband, why are you so happy?"

Wang Ke's laughter was heard.

Shi Hongluan, Zhang Chuchen, and Mrs. Black and White came in together, gathered around him, and asked.

Wang Ke picked up the military newspaper and said to the four ladies: "Just now Wang Junke sent an official document, he and Gao Junya broke through Hupan Mountain, killed Xuanming Dao people, and confiscated a total of 80,000 taels of gold and silver treasures, so I am very happy."

In fact.

There is one thing he hasn't told his ladies - that is, Yuan Mujue has quietly transported 50,000 taels of imperial bars back, and it has been sent to Wang Ke's treasury.

plus the 80,000 taels confiscated by Hupan Mountain, a total of 130,000 taels.

Afterwards.

Wang Ke sent his general Yuan Tong, led 5,000 iron cavalry, escorted 100,000 taels of imperial bars to the west, and sent them to Luoyang, the eastern capital.

As soon as this came out, Wang Ke made a net profit of 30,000 taels of silver, and he was able to recruit a lot of soldiers and horses and build a lot of weapons.

……

Another few days passed.

Daxing City.

In the inner courtyard of the palace.

Yang Guang looked at the official document that Wang Ke sent to his hand, and his face also showed joy.

A few days ago.

He mobilized his troops and horses with a large amount of money, and prepared to suppress the thieves in Hebei and Shandong.

But after so many days.

No good news ever arrived at the palace.

And today.

The Marquis of Dingbei, who was silently stationed at the border pass for the Great Sui Dynasty, suddenly sent good news, and also sent the heads of the giant king Suba and his fierce general Zhen Zhai'er.

Such an incident couldn't help but make Yang Guang unhappy.

Thereupon.

Yang Guanglang said: "Someone!"

"Wechen greets Your Majesty!"

A moment later.

Pei Yun, a close minister, walked quickly, bowed to the ground, and said.

"Spread my will, give Dingbei Hou a hundred sets of gold armor, a hundred brocade robes, and five hundred horses and horses, and send them to Youzhou City to commend his merits in begging thieves!"

Yang Guang waved his hand and said to Pei Yun.

"Obey the order!"

Pei Yun said respectfully.

"Hahaha! My Great Sui, with a loyal minister like Wang Yanzhong, why not be prosperous! ”

After Pei Yun retreated, Yang Guang laughed again.

Stomp, stomp!

Stomp, stomp!

Stomp, stomp!

However.

Right now.

A rush of footsteps came from outside the main hall.

Not much.

The old minister Su Wei came to Yang Guang with an official document in his hand.

"What's wrong?"

Yang Guang saw that Su Wei looked a little panicked, so he asked casually.

"Your Majesty, there is a change in Jiangnan!"

Su Wei held the official document in both hands and said to Yang Guang.

"Has Jiangnan changed?"

As soon as I heard this.

Yang Guang's face sank.

He took the official document, unfolded it, and his face suddenly turned blue-

Originally.

This official document reads: "Li Zitong took advantage of Yang Xuangan to go north, sent his son Li Feng to join Wu Yunzhao, Wu Tianxi, and Xiongkuohai, led the naval army, swept the Yangtze River, and has captured five prefectures and counties, and the situation is very critical!"
