The two returned to the camp in the south of the city, and surprisingly, Yi Wudaugh was waiting for them in front of the tent.

The haze in Xie Tong's heart was swept away, and he rushed forward excitedly, holding Yi Wuxing's hand tightly, and said, "Big brother."

Yi Wuxing was gray-faced, but his expression was as usual, he was able to move freely, and he seemed to be recovering well, he said with a smile, "Lao Tzu has been looking forward to your return for so many days, and there is finally news, ha! This feeling is so good, you are not here, Lao Tzu's life has faded out of the birds!"

Xie Tong said, "Are you still fading out of the birds, waiting for Lao Tzu to come back and abuse you?"

San'er laughed at the same time.

Lai Kezhong also stepped forward, and the two clasped their big hands tightly.

Yi Wudaunt said, "Let's go, go back to the camp first, Lao Tzu has prepared wine, let's have a good drink, and by the way, tell me about your colorful trip to Jiangnan."

The three of them walked into the camp side by side, and the wine and food prepared by Yi Wuxing could hardly be called sumptuous, only two jars of wine and some vegetarian dishes, and nothing else.

Yi Wuxing looked at the slightly shabby wine and food, and said with a wry smile, "There are so many things in the camp, hey, it's good to have wine."

Xie Tong ignored Yi Wudaunt's words, he picked up a jar of wine, patted off the seal, and a smell of inferior wine came to the surface, but he didn't have the slightest sense of pickiness, held the wine jar, directly poured a big sip, and said, "Good wine!"

Yi Wuxing scolded with a smile, "You can't lie, but the army is trapped here, and the grain and grass are unsustainable, and it is extremely difficult to have these two jars of wine."

Xie Tong felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart, and said, "Could it be that our army has reached such a point where it has run out of ammunition and food?"

Yi Wuxing took out a large bowl and poured wine for the two of them. "After Zhu Wen recaptured the Great Wall of Heaven, he adopted a strategy of encircling the Tang army but not fighting. slowly eroded Tang Jun's fighting spirit, but this bullshit prince listened to the words of Ke Xu Cheng. Waiting for Sima Xiangru to come to help, I missed the opportunity to break through, now, hey!

The three of them picked up the bowl at the same time and drank it all.

Lai Kezhong asked, "Didn't Sima Xiangru even send troops to rescue?"

Xie Tong didn't wait for Yi Wudaunt to speak, and said with a contemptuous smile, "Brother Lai still doesn't understand Sima Xiangru, how can he be Zhu Wen's opponent, according to the junior brother's conjecture, it must be in the name of Li Zhaorun, the king of Huai." Let the Eastern Route Army insist more, wait for reinforcements, and then wave the flag over there and shout, and sit back and watch the destruction of the Eastern Route Army?" he turned his head to Yi Wudaunt and said with a smile, "How about it, the little brother guessed accurately!"

Yi Wuxing poured three bowls of wine again, and said, "Although it is not hit, it is not far away!" Sima Xiangru sent 30,000 infantry from Yingzhou to the east, preparing to rescue the Great Wall of Heaven, but he was ambushed by Zhu Wen to send reinforcements. The 30,000-strong army returned with a crushing defeat, and since then, not a single soldier has been sent, as the virtuous brother said. has been waving the flag and shouting in Yingzhou, that is, not going south to attack the city, nor going east to rescue. There are more than 100,000 troops watching from the sidelines. ”

Xie Tong knew that Zhu Wen was like a god, but he didn't expect it to be so terrifying. It seems that the overall situation of the entire battlefield is under his control, and victory or defeat is only a matter of time for him. And the outcome seems to have been predicted.

Xie Tong said, "Big brother doesn't have to be so pessimistic, these are all matters decided by the big guys, and we little generals are still better to have wine today and get drunk today!"

He raised the big bowl and drank it first, although the taste of this inferior liquor was not good, Xie Tong was still full of sweetness in his mouth, he needed this feeling so much.

Yi Wuxing drank a big bowl, wiped his mouth, and said, "Tell me about your going south!

Xie Tong smiled, and all the things that were about to go south came out, and the thrilling taste even made him feel scared when he recalled it, and Yi Wuxing listened to it with relish.

After Xie Tong finished speaking, Yi Wudauntless beat his chest and said, "Hey, if Lao Tzu is not injured, he should have such a chance, it is really rare in life!"

The three of them were chatting, Wang Daoxun suddenly opened the curtain and entered, Xie Tong looked at his face, seemed to be not very happy, and hurriedly said, "My lord, come and have a drink!"

Wang Daoxun was not polite, he walked straight to the table, picked up the bowl is a sip, Chang breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "When I was in Luoyang before, Lao Tzu drank this kind of wine, damn, don't talk about drinking, I didn't even look at it, and now this thing has become a treasure in the army, it is estimated that the prince will snatch it when he sees it."

He rarely explodes foully, and now it seems that it should be forced by the situation, and it is already a blessing that he can not starve to death.

Xie Tong poured him a bowl of wine.

Wang Daoxun was not in a hurry to drink, and continued, "Virtuous nephew, to be honest, the old man never thought that you would have such brilliant results, but it is a pity that my Tang Empire is intolerant, so that you have been wronged, you can rest assured, as long as you break through this time, the old man will definitely explain the facts to the saint and give you justice." ”

The three of them were shocked at the same time, "Are you going to break through?"

Wang Daoxun sighed and said, "Actually, he should have broken through a long time ago, Sima Xiangru was like this one who had suffered a thousand knives, leading the army to watch there, and if he didn't save him, the old man couldn't wait for him anymore, and if it went on like this, the 100,000 army would probably starve to death here." This time, the old man and Lord Liao tried their best to admonish, and finally won the consent of the prince, and the army has decided to break through and move closer to the middle route army! ”

Xie Tong was stunned for a moment, and already understood what Wang Daoxun meant, I am afraid that Ke Xucheng has used some tricks, either to let him lead the troops to charge, or to be the queen of the palace, in short, it is not a good thing.

Wang Daoxun said, "The prince appointed you to command an army of 30,000 as the general of the breakthrough vanguard army, and set off after dusk tomorrow to attack the Great Wall of Heaven."

Lai Kezhong said: "So fast?"

Xie Tong smiled bitterly, "I knew this was the case, I'm afraid it was Ke Xu Cheng's suggestion!"

The old man also thinks that you can take on this important responsibility, and it can be said that the lives of the 100,000 army are all in your hands, and success or failure is here. ”

Lai Kezhong said, "My lord, since this battle is so important, why don't you send more troops, only 30,000 horses want to break through Zhu Wen's defense line, isn't it tantamount to a fool's dream!"

Wang Daoxun said helplessly: "This is also a helpless move, trapped in Yangzhou for more than a month, Kexucheng organized several breakthroughs, trying to recapture the Great Wall of Heaven, but helplessly returned with failure, heavy losses, the army can fight not much, but also take into account the attack on both sides of the southwest, can be drawn out of so many people! These people are also the elite of the whole army!"

Xie Tong couldn't help but sigh, at the beginning of the southern expedition, the three armies marched together, and the mighty and mighty were not majestic, and now only two months later, the middle route army was beaten to the ground, and the more than 100,000 troops on the east road were trapped in Yangzhou, which was very different from the initial majesty, and he also felt the huge pressure, if he failed to break through this time, there was no other way out except to surrender Huangchao. Thinking of relying on the surrender of the Yellow Nest to survive, Xie Tong was very unhappy in his heart, and he secretly made up his mind that even if he died, he would not bow to the enemy.

Thinking of this, he said firmly, "My lord, can the general put forward some conditions?"

Wang Daoxun stroked his beard and said with a smile, "The old man guessed that you would have this flowery intestine, so let's say! As long as it is not too excessive, the old man will promise you!"

Xie Tong said, "It's not an excessive condition, among the 30,000 horses, I want Big Brother Yi and Big Brother Lai to go out together, and prepare 100 carriages." ”。

Wang Daoxun was puzzled: "The first condition, the old man understands, why do you want so many carriages?"

Xie Tong said, "Please don't ask too much, the end will have its own wonderful use."

Wang Daoxun knew that Xie Tong would have a follow-up move, and said with a smile: "Okay, this matter is not difficult! The old man will go to the prince to discuss, and see off the army at noon tomorrow." ”

Xie Tong and the three of them led an army of 30,000 along the north gate of Yangzhou City and marched to the Great Wall of Heaven, which was the second time Xie Tong was ordered to attack this war-torn city. Thinking of the ferocity of the first fierce battle, he still sighed.

After walking for a day and a night, it was less than a hundred miles away from the Great Wall of Heaven, and Yi Wuxing finally couldn't help but say, "Thank you, boy, what are the hundred carriages for!"

Xie Tong looked at his embarrassed appearance, and couldn't help but smile, "The junior brother burned the military rations of Huangchao in Wuxi and Hangzhou, the amount is very large, presumably there must be a shortage of grain and grass in the Huangchao army, if my army has grain and grass that slips under their eyelids, if it were you, what would you do?"

Lai Kezhong interjected, "It's Lai, and it's mine from my territory." ”

The three of them laughed at the same time, and Xie Tong said, "It takes skill to rob grain, if we can ambush the enemy's grain robbing troops, the chances of capturing Tianchang will be much greater."

Yi Wudaunt said seriously, "This is impossible, the enemy will be stupid enough not to defend the city, and all rush over to grab your military rations, so that you can pick up a cheap price for nothing?"

Xie Tong said suspiciously, "It's hard to say, the key is whether the prey makes you excited, if you see hundreds of carts of grain and grass, and 10,000 soldiers guarding it, will you have a covetous heart." ”

Lai Kezhong slapped his thigh and said, "Your kid is really yin enough, but how can you make the enemy believe it!"

Xie Tong said, "The key lies in the truth and falsehood, Brother Lai, you lead 10,000 horses and escort 100,000 truckloads of grain and grass from the west of the Great Wall of Heaven sixty miles to the south, remember to let the enemy find your whereabouts, the speed of the march should be slow, I and Brother Yi each lead 10,000 horses, one of the men and horses to support you to ambush the enemy, one sees the opportunity to act, do not annihilate the enemy army in this battle." ”

Lai Kezhong smiled: "I hope you can come over in time."

The army was divided into three routes, Lai Kezhong took his grain cart to the west of Tiancheng City, and Yi Wuxing led his 10,000 horses, kept a distance of thirty miles, and followed behind Lai Kezhong.

Xie Tong was relaxed, he took the remaining 10,000 horses into the south side of the Great Wall, and raised the banner in a big battle, with a posture of attacking the Great Wall. But Xie Tong was not in a hurry to attack the city, the news he got earlier, there are 50,000 defenders on the Great Wall of Heaven, 10,000 are stationed in the east, and two hundred miles west of the Great Wall of Heaven is Zhu Wen's right army, with 50,000 troops, these 100,000 horses are the key force to cut off the middle route army and the east route army, and the number is also several times that of Xie Tong's breakthrough force.
