Zhu Wen's face sank, and he said, "For the sake of the love between you and me who fought side by side in the past, I will let you go today, Xie Tong, take your 20,000 horses, and roll as far as you want, otherwise don't blame Lao Tzu for being ruthless!"

Xie Tong's face became very ugly, and only then did he know how powerful Zhu Wen was, he thought that what he was hiding was seamless, which one was all looked at by Zhu Wen, from this point of view, his scouts were still far away, and he said calmly, "What if I don't leave!"

Zhu Wen snorted coldly: "Do you think that I am the waste of Shi Jingtang, you have only 20,000 horses, and you want to make any ripples, aren't you currently stationed in the southwest of Luanchuan County, and I am not afraid to tell you, Luanchuan County has 20,000 garrisons, can you storm it? To the south, it is Lu Li's 30,000 army, do you think you can make a difference? Now as long as I raise my arms and release the arrows, your men and horses will immediately fall into the siege!"

Xie Tong's back was cold when he heard this, he didn't know which link was wrong, but Zhu Wen knew his route well, obviously it was not nonsense, it seemed that he was still too careless, and he really underestimated the enemy by entering the encirclement of the enemy army so swaggeringly.

Thinking of this, Xie Tong hugged his fists and said, "Okay, Xie will lead you to this love, one day, if General Zhu falls into my hands, I will definitely let you go and leave." ”

With that, Xie Tong turned around and left his camp without looking back.

In the camp, Zhu Wen saw Xie Tong walking away, he breathed a long sigh of relief, a trace of blood slowly seeped out from the corner of his mouth, just now he tried his best to restrain himself, seeing Xie Tong leaving, he finally couldn't control it, the strong backlash of the Qingyu Sword made him suffer a lot of internal injuries, in the face of this legendary double treasure unity, it was difficult for him to think of a way to crack it for a while, and in desperation, he allowed Xie Tong to leave, but unfortunately Xie Tong would never know about it.

Xie Tong left Zhu Wen's camp, and his internal strength recovered a lot, and he immediately raised his true qi and rushed forward. He needed to return to the camp immediately and plan for the retreat.

As soon as he walked not far away, he found a figure hidden in the woods in front of him, there is no doubt that this person was the Wuzhiting who had left before, Xie Tong smiled dumbly, he didn't expect this kid to be so righteous.

Wu Zhiting saw Xie Tong and said excitedly, "You're finally back, hey, Zhu Wen is too terrible." The little brother doesn't know what to do, whether to move the rescuers or wait for you here, it's like six gods without a master. Hey, big brother, you're so good, you actually beat him and escaped!"

He uttered a lot in one breath, already incoherent.

Xie Tong said, "Right now is not the place to speak, go back with me!"

The two of them galloped back to the resting place in a hurry.

When they arrived at the resting place, they all gathered at the bottom of the hill to wait for them, and their hearts were filled with joy when they saw the two of them return together.

Huo Zixin sneered and said, "What's the matter, Lao Tzu is not wrong! Wu Xiaozi must have gone to find Zhu Wen to be unlucky, hey, it is a miracle that he can come back alive." ”

Xie Tong turned over and dismounted, and said, "Pass my order, and the whole army will set off immediately and return to Tongguan!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was surprised, they had just arrived here with all their hard work, why did they have to go back in a hurry!

Huo Zixin was puzzled, "Xie boy, what happened?

Xie Tong said, "It's too late to explain, let's go, Zhu Wen has already laid a net, just waiting for us to get in!"

After everyone heard this, they all knew that things were not good, so they dared to stay, and Lao Lai didn't ask much, so he personally took someone to wake everyone up, and after everyone packed up, they began to evacuate.

Xie Tong didn't dare to return the same way, for fear that Zhu Wen would intercept him, but led the army to continue south, making a big circle, but in the future, he returned to Tongguan.

After returning to Tongguan, surprisingly, Yuwen Yishuo did not show much surprise, but looked at Xie Tong and the soldiers who returned in vain very normally.

Xie Tong couldn't help but secretly admire Yuwen Yishuo's foresight, he seemed to have long been aware of the results of Xie Tong's expedition, the enemy was indeed very powerful, and it was not something they could deal with, and their best strategy was to wait and see what Yuwen Yishuo proposed.

Seeing Yuwen staring at him, Xie Tong became embarrassed and said, "Brother Yuwen is high, junior brother admires!"

Yuwen Yishuo laughed and said, "I made a bet with the soldiers before to see how long my brother can return!"

Xie Tong said, "What is the result?"

Yuwen Yishuo said, "The result is that we all guessed wrong? I estimate that my brother will at least have to suffer a little to understand the current situation and gap, I didn't expect my brother to come back so quickly! And he was unharmed." ”

Xie Tong said, "It's a shame to say, people always have to encounter difficulties before they know how to turn back, although the brothers led by the younger brother were unharmed, but on the whole, they suffered a big loss, and the little brother was scared away by others for the first time in his life, which was simply a shame and a big shame", and then he said what happened to meet with Zhu Wen.

Yuwen took a long breath after hearing this, and said, "Zhu Wen is really extraordinary, just looking at his arrangement, you can know that he is not an idle person."

Lao Lai said, "Yes, it depends on whether Sima Xiangru can retreat from the difficulties and take into account the overall situation." ”

Yuwen Yishuo pondered for a moment and said, "Sima Xiangru and Song Wenyuan are in the same army, and the number of people does not account for much of a disadvantage, and it should last for a while."

Lao Lai said, "Brother Yuwen, maybe you overestimate them too much, these two people have a straw package, even if the situation is due to Huangchao, they may not be able to please, let alone a disadvantage! It depends on whether they can give up Luoyang and retreat to Tongguan instead, so as to retain the vitality of the Tang Empire." ”

Xie Tong suddenly said, "No, with their personalities, they will not give up resistance and take the overall situation into account." Retreating to the Guannai, for the saints, is a great shame, they not only lose their future, and will be deprived of the title, and Sima Xuan will not agree to them to do so, as I expected, they should be to defend Luoyang, waiting for Sima Xuan's reinforcements, if there is no Sima Xuan's reinforcements, but also to wait for the vitality to be exhausted, retreat to the Guannei, so that you can avoid the punishment of the saint, the second is to protect yourself, and will also fall a reputation of stubborn resistance to the end, it is really killing two birds with one stone. ”

Slap, Yuwen slapped his palm on the table fiercely, and said angrily, "It's simply unreasonable, isn't this ignoring the people of the country? ”

Huo Zixin said faintly, "This may be what Huang Chao or Zhu Wen want to see the most! The more dead and wounded, the greater their chances of winning the world." ”

Yuwen said, "I will never let this kind of thing happen, come and prepare horses!"

Xie Tong stood up and said, "Brother Yuwen, don't be impatient, this kind of thing can't be rushed, what are you going to do! This is meaningless, and if you send troops to the rescue, it is in the arms of Zhu Wen, they do not fight Luoyang, it is intended to destroy our living force, it is a bottomless pit, no matter how many people go, it is difficult to save Luoyang's defeat, use your method, fight to the death with the enemy in Tongguan, is the key to victory, defend according to the danger, and wipe them out under the walls of Tongguan, is the best choice. ”

Yuwen Yishuo frowned and stopped speaking. After a long time, he said, "Pass the order, Tongguan is under martial law, and no one is allowed to leave the city without my hand." ”

As this order was conveyed, Xie Tong knew that he had completely abandoned a large area east of Tongguan, unless a large army came from Chang'an, otherwise it would be a battle in the short term, and Yuwen Yishuo would not worry about the life or death of the Luoyang army.

For a few days, there was news from Luoyang that Sima Xiangru commanded the army to completely abandon the stronghold outside Luoyang City, and instead retreated to the city, only on the road leading to Tongguan in the west, and arranged heavy troops, which seemed to be completely in line with Xie Tong's guess, and he had left a way to retreat.

And Huang Chao also symbolically sent troops to fight for a while, under Sima Xiangru's stubborn defense, the road to Tongguan was not blocked, but the loss of the external stronghold has made Sima Xiangru fall into passivity, although there is still a way to retreat in the west, but Yuwen Yishuo's retreat, has made Sima Xiangru into a dead end.

Huang Chao did not rush to attack the city, but surrounded Luoyang City.

Xie Tong and others saw clearly, this was clearly Zhu Wen's trick, he was consuming the Tang army's only remaining fighting spirit, it is no exaggeration to say that Guanwai is already the world of the righteous army, they swept the Central Plains with the momentum of the wind and clouds, although Luoyang has not yet been captured, but it is already their meal.

The righteous army surrounded but did not fight, which made the Tang army very puzzled, but Xie Tong and others knew that this was not to let the tiger return to the mountain, but to encircle the point to send reinforcements, and the enemy army looked at Sima Xiangru's abacus very carefully, and also took advantage of this weakness, but how could Xie Tong and others be fooled, the army could not be closed, and it seemed that they had given up outside the pass.

Six or seven days passed in a row, and on this day, Xie Tong and others were discussing military affairs, and the scouts suddenly came to report that the holy decree of Chang'an had come.

Xie Tong and Lao Lai hurriedly avoided it.

Yuwen Yishuo hurriedly greeted him, and a eunuch said sharply, "Yuwen Yishuo, take the order!" Fengtian carrier, the emperor said, ordering Tongguan City to guard Yuwen Yishuo immediately out of the city to meet the enemy, and the generals Sima Xiangru and Song Wenyuan fought side by side, and must exterminate the thieves under Luoyang City. ”

Yuwen Yishuo was directly stunned on the spot, and the eunuch saw that he was stunned, and said unhappily, "General Yuwen, take the order!"

Yuwen bowed three times, took the holy decree with both hands, and was already at a loss.

The eunuch Xi Gonggong continued: "I don't know when General Yuwen will send troops to Tongguan!"

Yuwen Yishuo said coldly, "Dare to ask Gonggong Xi, does the Holy Lord know about the war on the front line?"

Father-in-law Xi's face sank, and he said, "What is General Yuwen talking about, the saint works hard for the country, how can he not know the situation on the front line, so he specially sent me to deliver the decree."

Yuwen Yishuo continued, "Please also ask your father-in-law to inform the saint, please ask the saint to draw up a new holy decree, and Sima Xiangru and Song Wenyuan will retreat to the pass, defend according to the danger, and retreat from the strong enemy!"

"Presumptuous", Xi Gonggong said sharply, "Yuwen Yishuo, you are so bold, you dare to defy the holy decree."

Yuwen Yishuo said humbly, "Xi Gonggong, how dare I defy the holy decree, I just want to use my father-in-law's mouth to convey some information." At present, the enemy army is strong, the limelight is flourishing, our army and the enemy are fighting hard, it is really unwise, and Luoyang is not enough grain and grass, it is difficult to maintain, a battle can not be won, morale will be very low, therefore, I suggest that we withdraw to the Guannei, and then try to counterattack in the future. ”

"Bold", Father-in-law Xi was finally furious, and said, "Okay, you Yuwen Yishuo, on the surface, you seem to be brave and good at fighting, but it turns out that you are a timid straw bag, and you are frightened by the enemy?

Yuwen Yishuo said, "Xi Gonggong, the outside world rumors about what I am like, I don't care about it at all, but marching and fighting is not something that can be solved by bravery and charge, there are many routines to speak of, so rashly fighting, there is no chance of winning at all, my idea is to win the battle, what's the harm in enduring it for a while!"

"It's the opposite, it's the opposite", Xigong said angrily, "Yuwen Yishuo, you actually resisted the decree and rebelled? ”

Xie Tong saw it clearly, this Xi Gonggong is the real straw bag, he doesn't know anything about military affairs, and he still points fingers, which is worth it.

There were more than ten people brought by Xigonggong, and they immediately surrounded Yuwen Yishuo, and Xigong said, "Tie me up."

Yuwen stood arrogantly in the center of the crowd and snorted coldly, "With just a little bit of you, how can you catch me?" ”

As soon as the words fell, a large group of people immediately poured out of the courtyard, surrounded these people brought by Gonggong Xi, and all the spears were aimed at them.

When did Gonggong Xi see this kind of scene, he was already frightened, and he trembled and said, "Yuwen Yishuo, what are you going to do." ”

Yuwen Yishuo said coldly, "Don't do anything, I just want to remind my father-in-law that I will be outside, and the king's order will not be affected, as long as I can win the battle, the others will disdain it." ”

Father-in-law Xi didn't dare to speak, this soldier rioted, no one could stop it, how dare he make a mistake, and hurriedly said, "Okay, since that's the case, my father-in-law won't disturb the general's office, and he will leave!"

Xie Tong said in his heart that if he let him leave, it would be okay, he returned to the imperial court, and it was strange not to slander Yuwen Yishuo, in this case, it would definitely be unfavorable for Yuwen Yishuo, thinking of this, he was not hiding it, and immediately walked quickly into the courtyard, shouting "Slow!"

Father-in-law Xi looked in the direction of the voice, and when he saw the speaker's face clearly, his face was already pale with fright, he pointed at Xie Tong, and couldn't say a word.

He had seen Xie Tong, and he knew Xie Tong's identity, and now that Xie Tong appeared here, how could he not be surprised.

Xie Tong walked in front of Yuwen Yishuo and said with a smile, "Brother Yuwen, it is rare for Gonggong Xi to come to Tongguan once, and he was ordered to pass on the decree, so it is reasonable for you to invite Gonggong Xi to have a meal and walk, and enter the friendship of the landlord."

Yuwen understood it and said, "What the virtuous brother said is very true, I actually forgot about this matter, come on, prepare wine and food, and treat your father-in-law!" (To be continued.) )
