"Your Majesty, Yangzhou surrendered without a fight and has been captured by Wang Jing..."
At this time, a man came in a hurry, opened the tent and came in, speaking in a rapid voice.
Chen Baxian looked shocked, "Surrender without a fight? Are you telling the truth?"
The person who came in to report the news was Chun Yuliang, an important minister under Chen Baxian. He was also a talented man with both literary and military skills under Chen Jun. He was not only good at leading troops, but also quite skillful in governing.
Chun Yuliang said: "This news came from the spies at high speed from Yangzhou. It cannot be false!"
Wu Mingche stood up after hearing this and said in a deep voice: "Since Yangzhou has fallen into the hands of the Huai army, our entire army should be dispatched to attack Yang Guang and destroy the Sui army in front of us first!"
Chen Ba pondered for a moment.
If possible, he would like to send people to negotiate peace with Yang Guang and join forces with him to deal with the Huai army. But he thought about it seriously and rejected the idea.
It is true that Yang Guang had an army of 300,000 people, but Yangzhou City had been captured by the Huai Army, and his 300,000 army and family members all fell into the hands of Wang Jing. Military morale cannot be guaranteed.
And even if he can join forces with Yang Guang to defeat the Huai army and reoccupy Yangzhou, the next moment, he will turn against the Sui army...
"In the land of Yangzhou, many princes are peering at me. The troops in my hand are not comparable to these princes. Moreover, when I cross the river and go north, my foundation is shallow. It is time to strengthen my foundation..."
Chen Baxian's thoughts were racing.
As the founding monarch of Nanchen, he had outstanding military and strategic vision. He could see that the land of Yangzhou had become the eye of the storm for the Huaidong princes to fight and fight, which was very troublesome. When other forces are mixed in, it is inevitable to shed a layer of skin.
And he had just retreated from Jiangnan and entered Liuhe, and his foundation was not yet solid. He would not have a good result if he rashly confronted the Huaidong princes, especially Wang Jing.
Instead of doing this, it is better to accept the situation as soon as possible, plunder the young people, grain and grass supplies in Yangzhou and return to Liuhe, with Tongshan as the boundary in the east, and then expand westward together.
Liuhe is not where the king's business is. It is best to occupy Luzhou, so that he can settle down and live his life!
The princes and heroes who can leave their names in history and establish some achievements are not fuel-efficient lamps, and the same is true for Chen Baxian.
He calculated the strength and weakness of the Huai army and himself.
Then he made up his mind and said: "Tong Zhao is right, God-given opportunity, don't miss it, pass on the order, I will personally lead the army to send troops to fight the Sui army decisively!"
"Si Ming, lead people to spread the news about Yangzhou City and boost the morale of our army!"
Wu Mingche and Chun Yuliang took orders one after another.
In addition to their two generals, the Chen Army also had two fierce generals, Xiao Moke and Zhou Tiehu. They were personally leading their soldiers to attack and kill Yang Yichen of the Sui Army.
After Yang Guang Yujia's personal expedition, the Sui army's morale did not increase much. However, with the formation skills of Yang Yichen, Lai Hu'er and others, there were still 300,000 elite troops, which was slightly better than Chen's army.
However, after the news of the destruction of Yangzhou City came.
The tables will definitely turn.
On November 1, Chen Baxian personally led the army to launch a general attack on the Sui army. Before the attack, he sent people to publicize the news that the city of Yangzhou was broken and the Sui army's retreat was cut off.
The morale of the Sui army's 300,000 troops suddenly collapsed.
Sometimes, when the morale of an elite army collapses, even the elite will turn into a mob.
kill!
Shocking shouts of killing rose into the sky in the wilderness. Chen's army was overwhelmingly powerful and continuously attacked the Sui army's camps. Yang Yichen and Lai Hu'er personally came to the front of the formation to supervise the battle, but they still could not save the defeat.
Inside the Sui army's tent.
Yang Guang's face was livid, and his sharp eyes swept over the faces of the courtiers on the left and right sides. Among them, Duan Wenzhen's beard and hair were a little white, and his expression was dejected. Pei Ju and Yu Shiji frowned.
Everyone in the big tent could hear the faint shouts of killing coming from outside.
"My dear friends, now that the matter has come to this, do you have any good plans?"
Yang Guang couldn't bear his anger and asked in a deep voice.
Duan Wenzhen's face was bitter, his lips trembled, and he wanted to speak, but in the end he did not speak.
The Sui army's current end was inseparable from him.
He really didn't expect that the apparently impregnable defense lines around him could not stop the Huai army's soldiers and horses, and they allowed the Huai army to approach the city without even a big battle.
When the Huai army began to dig the river channel, he knew that the situation was not good and was ready to persuade Yang Guang to withdraw his troops.
But Yang Guang felt that I had the advantage of being the commander of the army, and he could defeat Chen Ba in one fell swoop, and then withdraw his troops back to Yangzhou soon...
It's a pity that he overestimated himself and underestimated Chen Baxian.
Even if he went on a personal expedition and used Sui Ting's national fortune, he would not be able to defeat the enemy for a while.
Now that the city of Yangzhou has been destroyed, Sui Ting's vitality has dropped to the bottom. Yang Guang can no longer use the national destiny to suppress the enemy.
In any case, he was the one who suggested that Yang Guang Yujia personally fight.
Therefore, Duan Wenzhen must be responsible for the current situation, that is, the Sui army is facing a crisis and is not suitable for demotion and accountability. Otherwise, Duan Wenzhen would have been withdrawn by the secretly angry Yang Guang.
Sui Ting's current situation is critical. Yang Guang's original trust in Duan Wenzhen has long been gone, leaving only disgust and anger.
Pei Ju sighed secretly when he saw this.
He stood up and said: "Your Majesty, there is only one way to retreat now. After leaving 200,000 troops and horses, Your Majesty will select the elite and leave immediately..."
In the big tent, after Pei Ju finished speaking, there was silence.
Yang Guang's eyes were filled with fire, and he immediately shouted: "Leave, where can I go now? I am the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, and I am leading the expedition myself. How can I abandon the army and run around in embarrassment?"
Pei Ju and Yu Shiji looked at each other and could see the helplessness in each other's eyes.
Yang Guang loves face and has a strong and unyielding nature. Unlike other kings who have subjugated their country, he is not afraid of death.
However, this did not wait for Yang Guang to show his unyielding strength.
There was a shocking roar outside.
Then the thundering cheers came roaring like ocean waves.
"Your Majesty, the general who came to protect his son died in battle. Xiao Moke led his troops to break through the camp and has already rushed into the camp..."
The expressions of Yang Guang, Pei Ju, Yu Shiji and others changed instantly.
…
November 3rd.
In Guiyan Palace in Yangzhou, more than a dozen beautiful maids stood in a palace, waiting for the call from the palace.
At this time, a eunuch came quickly, walked to the front of the palace and whispered to a palace maid.
Then the palace maid hesitated for a moment, moved her lotus steps lightly, and entered the palace.
"Your Majesty, there is an important military report outside the palace..."
The palace maid glanced into the palace, her pretty face suddenly turned red, and she quickly reported the news.
In the incense burner in the hall, wisps of ambergris rise like straight lines. On top of the soft body, Wang Jing is lying down in casual clothes. Wherever he touches it, the warm fragrance of nephrite is everywhere.
Xiao Yun's body was covered with gauze, and with a slight movement, her jade-like whiteness was revealed.
Her face was rosy, like the most beautiful peony in the world, which was completely different from the slightly cold look she had at the beginning.
When the palace maid comes in.
She buried her cheeks in her arms, looking up a little embarrassed.
Wang Jing looked as usual and stood up. The palace maid quickly stepped forward and put a robe on him.
"What important military information?"
Wang Jing came to the palace gate and asked in a deep voice.
The eunuch who came to report immediately bowed down and said with great respect: "According to the report from the Military Intelligence Department, the 300,000-strong army led by Yang Guang was defeated by Chen Baxian..."
In the palace, Queen Xiao's mental strength was not weak, and she could hear the sounds outside keenly.
Her delicate body trembled slightly, her expression slightly gloomy.
