In the woods.
Yuan Mujue's eyes were cold and his expression was indifferent.
His ears heard the whizzing of arrows like rain.
In my mind, I have already begun to think about how to explain to Cen Wei for a while.
Not long after.
After rounds of arrow rain.
None of Wang Xuba's soldiers and horses outside could stand and speak.
Yuan Mujue waved his hand gently, and the trusted soldiers beside him stepped out and killed all the Hupanshan bandits who were still struggling on the ground.
"General, the end of the matter has been taken care of... However, Nie Shixiong has lost track of him."
After a while.
A deputy general walked up to Yuan Mujue and reported in a low voice.
"Send a group of soldiers and horses to look for...others nearby, and return with me to the Langtou Mountain stronghold."
After hearing this.
Yuan Mujue frowned slightly and said immediately.
"yes!"
All the soldiers handed over their hands, and then followed Yuan Mujue's order and followed the plan.
…
Stop gossiping.
Not for a while.
Yuan Mujue led his troops back to the vicinity of Langtou Mountain.
at the same time.
Cen Wei, Feng Ding, and Ma Duan also led their troops back to the mountains.
The two groups of people met at the foot of the mountain.
When Yuan Mujue saw Cen Wei, he immediately smiled bitterly, bowed his hands, and apologized, saying: "The last general failed in the battle, which led to the king's defeat. Please punish me!"
Cen Wei patted Yuan Mujue on the shoulder and said: "This is the king's use of powerful soldiers, it has nothing to do with my dear brother!"
When Yuan Mujue heard this, his eyes became hot and he was about to kneel to the ground, but Cen Wei held him back.
At this time.
Yuan Mujue changed the topic and asked Cen Wei: "Brother, I wonder how the battle is going on your side?"
Cen Wei sighed and said, "Although I defeated Gao Junya all the way, it was just a miserable victory!"
turn out to be.
This Cen Wei army fought against Gao Junya.
He took advantage of the darkness and crashed into Gao Junya's camp.
At first, it was smooth sailing.
But when Gao Junya, Wei Kuo, and Wei Tongfang reacted and organized troops to compete, the heroes of Langtou Mountain fell into a bitter battle.
first.
Feng Ding's arm injury has not healed, and his marksmanship is naturally not as good as it was in his prime.
He bumped into Wei Kuo, and after twelve or three rounds of fighting, he couldn't resist anymore. When he turned to run away, Cen Wei arrived in person and fought with Wei Kuo.
And the other side.
Ma Duan slapped his horse and danced his sword. When he met Wei Tongfang, they fought twice. They fought for thirty or forty rounds in the dark, with no winner or loser.
When both sides were fighting to the depths.
Na Cen Wei appeared like a ghost with a big sword, killing him for about fifty rounds, until Wei Kuo couldn't resist, he made a feint, turned around and fled back.
Taking advantage of Wei Kuo's defeat.
Cen Wei led his army forward and ran directly into Gao Junya's central army, preparing to capture the thief first and capture the king first.
Wei Kuo and Wei Tongfang, seeing that their generals were in danger, retreated in an attempt to support the Chinese army.
As soon as they retreated, the defensive formation in front was immediately dispersed by Cen Wei.
Gao Junya had no choice but to retreat with his troops and horses, all the way back to Wang Junke's camp and meet up with him.
Seeing Gao Junya's retreat, Cen Wei was afraid that Wang Jun might have been prepared. In addition, his own soldiers suffered heavy casualties, so he offered gold to withdraw his troops and retreated to Langtou Mountain.
Since then.
Cen Wei and others stuck to the stronghold, while intensifying the construction of fortifications, and at the same time compiling a letter and sending it to Shan Xiong's office in Erxianzhuang, asking him to come and make a decision.
…
The words are divided into two parts.
Let's talk about Gao Junya's troops.
Return to Wang Junke's camp.
The two generals met.
Gao Junya said: "General Wang, I am very ashamed of this defeat. It was my fault in using my troops carelessly!"
Wang Junke waved his hand and said: "It's not up to Gao Changshi. The soldiers and horses of Langtoushan are really powerful. Even I didn't expect it."
Gao Junya sighed and said: "For the current plan, if I lead my troops back to Youzhou, I'm afraid I will be blamed by Dingbei Hou. I would like to ask General Wang to tell me how to deal with it now!"
Wang Junke said: "If we continue to encircle Langtou Mountain, I'm afraid the gains outweigh the losses... Just now our army defeated the bandits who attacked the camp from behind. After strict interrogation, we found out that they were soldiers and horses of King Xuba of Hupanshan Mountain, so now I I have a plan."
Hearing this, Gao Junya was slightly startled, and then asked: "What's the point?"
Wang Junke said: "In the battle just now, our army killed Wang Junke's generals and captured countless armors and flags from the bandits... How about taking the Tiger Pan Mountain directly, raiding their lair, and borrowing the heads of the bandits from the Tiger Pan Mountain. We use the gold and silver treasures in his fortress as a royal bar and send them to Luoyang... In this way, we can both make contributions and make up for the emperor's mistakes. Isn't this the best of both worlds?"
"This matter..."
Gao Junya frowned slightly when he heard this. After thinking for a while, he nodded slightly.
"In this case, let's go to Hupan Mountain without further delay, take a short rest?"
Wang Junke looked at Gao Junya and said.
"Okay! Everything is at the command of General Wang!"
Gao Junya nodded and said to Wang Junke.
…
"Ha ha ha ha!"
A few days later.
Youzhou City.
In the residence of Dingbei Hou.
Wang Ke couldn't help laughing as he took the military report sent by Wang Junke.
"Husband, why are you so happy?"
Hear Wang Ke's laughter.
Shi Hongluan, Zhang Chuchen, and Madam 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 has sent an official document. He and Gao Junya defeated Hupanshan, killed Taoist Xuanming, and confiscated gold and silver treasures totaling 80,000 taels of silver. Therefore, I'm very happy."
actually.
There is one thing that he has not told his ladies clearly - that is, Yuan Mujue has quietly returned with fifty thousand taels of imperial bars and has already sent them to Wang Ke's treasury.
In addition to the 80,000 taels confiscated by Hupanshan, the total is 130,000 taels.
after.
Wang Ke sent his general Yuan Tong with 5,000 cavalry to escort 100,000 Liang Huanggang westward and sent them to Luoyang, the eastern capital.
After this, Wang Ke made a net profit of 30,000 taels of silver, and was able to recruit many soldiers and build many 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.
Some days ago.
He mobilized troops and horses generously to prepare to suppress the bandits in Hebei and Shandong.
But so many days have passed.
No good news was ever sent to the palace.
And today.
Dingbeihou, who silently guarded the border for the Sui Dynasty, suddenly sent a good news. At the same time, he also sent the heads of the giant bandit king Xuba and his fierce general Zhen Zhai'er.
Such an incident made Yang Guang unhappy.
then.
Yang Guang said loudly: "Here comes someone!"
"I pay my respects to Your Majesty!"
After a while.
Pei Yun, a close minister, walked over quickly, prostrated himself on the ground, and said.
"In accordance with my decree, I will give Dingbei Hou one hundred sets of golden armor, one hundred brocade robes and five hundred fine horses, and send them to Youzhou City in recognition of his efforts in defeating thieves!"
Yang Guang waved his hand and said to Pei Yun.
"I obey the decree!"
Pei Yun said respectfully.
"Hahaha! My Sui Dynasty has loyal ministers like Wang Yanzhong, so why worry about not being able to prosper!"
After Pei Yun retreated, Yang Guang burst out laughing again.
Tap tap tap!
Tap tap tap!
Tap tap tap!
However.
Right now.
A rush of footsteps came from outside the hall.
Not long after.
The veteran Su Wei came to Yang Guang holding an official document.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that Su Wei looked a little panicked, Yang Guang asked casually.
"Your Majesty, there are changes in Jiangnan!"
Su Wei held the official document with both hands and said to Yang Guang.
"Has something changed in Jiangnan?"
Upon hearing this.
Yang Guang's face darkened.
He took the official document and unfolded it, his face suddenly turned ashen——
turn out to be.
This official document clearly stated: "Li Zitong took advantage of Yang Xuangan's northward movement and sent his son Li Feng to join Wu Yunzhao, Wu Tianxi and Xiong Kuohai. They led the navy and swept across the Yangtze River. They had captured five prefectures and counties. The situation was very critical! "
