In the twelfth year of the great cause, on a snowy winter day, the cold north wind carried the frost and snow all over the city!

The tall and majestic city is covered with white flags and ice and snow, and the whole world is white. On the city wall, the soldiers dressed in plain clothes were filled with deep sadness and unease. Behind them, red flags embroidered with the word "Sui" were hunting and flying in the icy wind.

Inside the castle guard!

A cry of pain resounded in the sky!

"General Zhang! General Zhang! You have been brave and good at fighting, loyal and strong, honest and honest all your life!

In the seventh year of the Great Cause, you pacified Wang Bo, Sun Xuanya, Hao Xiaode, Pei Changcai, and Shizihe, and broke millions of enemies. In the ninth year of the Great Cause, Guo Fangpre and Qin Junhong besieged Beihai, and it was you who led the elite soldiers to raid and annihilate tens of thousands of enemies. There are also more than 100,000 people with Zuo Xiaoyou to rebel, it was you who forced you to surrender with the 'Eight Winds Battalion', but Zuo Xiaoyou's troops exiled Xie Xiang and other thieves to the wilderness, or you led the lone army to exterminate them one by one. In the tenth year of the great cause, Lu Mingyue led hundreds of thousands of people to rebel, and you defeated the rebels with 10,000 troops and killed countless enemies. In the past few years, you have defeated and exterminated countless small bandits and thieves, such as Lu Xingxing, Shuai Rentai, Huo Xiaohan and other thieves. He fought more than 30 battles with the Wagang rebels, and there was no defeat. ”

"You have experienced as many as 1,000 battles in your life, invincible, invincible, invincible with long knives, but you didn't expect to die tragically at the hands of Zhai Rang and Li Mi, two insidious rats. The general's heroic soul returned, and the Great Sui Optimus Jade Pillar was broken; The general's heroic soul returns, the eastern capital is in a hurry, and the plaintiff in China is in a hurry! ”

The city guards the palace and the mourning hall.

A county wore a linen belt and bowed his head and wept. One of them was a young man in a splendid snowcoat, who was about sixteen or seventeen years old, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and his whole face was like a piece of delicate and flawless jade, revealing the beauty of a woman. He stroked the wooden coffin with his hand and cried loudly.

This is the second grandson of Emperor Yang Guang, Yuzhou Mu, the Eastern Capital Left Behind, and the King of Yue Yang Tong! After the emperor went south to Jiangdu, Yang Tong took charge of the military and political power of Henan Province, and led Yuan Wendu, Wei Jin, Lu Chu, Yang Gongren, Duan Da, Huangfu Wuyi, Pei Renji, Zhang Xutuo and other civil and military forces to suppress the Central Plains bandits and govern the people of Henan Province.

Half a month ago, after the Wagang army led by Zhai Rang entered Xingyang, they sent Wang Bodang to attack Jindi Pass, and the guards went out of the city to meet the battle, but Wang Bodang was defeated and Jindi Pass was lost.

Wagang took Jindi Pass as its base camp and divided its troops to capture Xingyang counties. Zhang Xutuo, the ambassador of Henan Province and the commander of Xingyang, returned to Xingyang from Dongjun, and led an army of 50,000 to fight a decisive battle in Xingyang Dahai Temple. The remnants of Jia Wuben, Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, Pei Xingyan, and Niu Jinda withdrew into Kangcheng.

Although the Wagang army temporarily ceased to move, Zhang Xutuo was killed, which not only caused the Great Sui to lose a world-famous general, but also opened the east gate of Luoyang! And it made Henan counties frustrated. The defenders everywhere were slumped and feared that Wagang was like a tiger and a leopard, and they either retreated to the city or collapsed without a fight.

Pei Renji, the general of the Tiger Prison Guard, fought repeatedly, and although there were small victories, the morale of the Sui army was still low and he was at a loss, but fortunately, the soldiers stabilized. However, three days ago, Liu Changgong, the defender of Guancheng, ignored the blockade of the deputy general Fang Wei, and led 20,000 defenders to fight hastily, but was killed by Xu Shiji, the leader of Wagang, and the whole army was wiped out.

This series of fiascos and bad news has completely ruined the morale of the army that Pei Renjixin has worked so hard to stabilize, and the fugitives who have become formed are everywhere, and the day when the army will fall apart is close at hand.

After Yang Tong led the reinforcements to Kangcheng, he ransomed Zhang Xutuo's body with a large amount of money to appease his subordinates; Worship Zhang Xutuo, show his merits, and collect his heart!

Beside Yang Tong, it was Yang Gongren, who was dignified, calm and calm, looking at Yang Dong who was crying heartbreakingly, and his deep eyes flashed a trace of surprise from time to time.

In the past two months, Yang Tong seems to have completely changed as a person, not only mature and steady, his bearing has changed greatly, but he also led the army to help, if it were not for the person or that person, Yang Gongren would have suspected that King Yue had been dropped.

After hearing Yang Tong's words, a heroic and handsome young general stood up, gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Your Highness, we fought with the Wagang thieves!" ”

"Yes, the general died for us to break off, and I should not be a coward to die in Daning."

"Your Highness, we still have an army of 20,000, and we can fight to the death! I, Qin Qiong, am willing to be a pioneer. ”

"Your Highness, I, Pei Xingyan, am also willing to be a pioneer."

"Your Highness, please order!"

Hearing the endless sound of asking for battle, Yang Tong wiped away the tears on his face.

Yang Gongren's mouth twitched slightly, slowly stood up, and after saluting Zhang Xutuo's coffin and Yang Tong respectively, he turned to face the generals present, and said in a deep voice: "General Zhang, he unfortunately died in battle, the armies are uneasy, and many soldiers even fled back to their hometowns in formation, and now in addition to your 20,000 soldiers, there are only 20,000 Xiaoguo troops in the hands of His Royal Highness, and more than 20,000 defenders in the hands of General Pei Renji, but the Tiger Prison Pass Wagang Bandit Army is heavily besieged, and there is no military assistance at all, Therefore, there are only 40,000 soldiers in Kangcheng who can fight in the entire Henan Province. ”

"Now Wagang is divided into two, and Li Mi besieges the tiger prison; Zhai Rang led his old troops all the way south, if Kangcheng was lost, then the Wagang thieves could bypass the Tiger Prison Pass, enter Yangcheng in the west, and conquer Yique County. ”

Hearing this, the faces of the generals turned pale.

Zhang Xutuo Ping thief countless, with his command of the school famous all over the world, the thieves have no choice but Zhang Xutuo and his subordinates, then to the soldiers' families, Luo Shixin, Niu Jinda's relatives were slaughtered clean, the rest of the soldiers' families were also slaughtered, Yang Guang, who was jealous of Zhang Xutuo, listened to Pei Ju's opinion, and placed all the families of Zhang Xutuo's department in Yique County, Henan County, which made the soldiers have no worries, and secondly, it was also conducive to the supervision of the imperial court.

In the past, the people were most afraid of the locust plague, the overwhelming locusts, they ate all the locusts wherever they flew, and ate them when they saw the green, and when they finished eating and flew away, there would be no one in that place.

And now, the bandits are more powerful and terrifying than the locust plague.

All anti-thieves have one characteristic, that is, they kill people like hemp and loot everywhere. They broke through the county seat, killed officials and rebelled, looted the rich and powerful, and forced the young and strong people to become thieves.

If Yique is lost, the Wagang thieves who hate Zhang Xutuo's part will definitely slaughter the whole county.

In an instant, the hearts of all the soldiers were cold.

"Now General Zhang is gone, but everyone is still there! Moreover, although there are many Wagang thieves, they are actually a rabble that will be defeated in a battle, and they have no combat effectiveness at all. I believe that as long as the generals work together and have the right tactics, it will not be difficult to defeat the Wagang rebels. You've been dealing with the thief army for so many years, don't you know what the thief army is? Yang Gongren said loudly.

Hearing this, Qin Qiong, who was outstanding and imposing, said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, what Lord Yang said is extremely true, once the thief army is defeated, it will run all over the mountains, and its battle is not worth mentioning, and our chances of winning are very high." ”

The generals perked up, looked at each other a few times, and then saluted Yang Tong!

Seeing that the generals recovered from the shadow of defeat, Yang Tong's heart was relieved: since God has let me travel to this troubled world, and with the help of these hundred fierce generals and warriors, it may not be impossible to change .......

However, at this moment, a personal guard suddenly broke in and said quickly: "Your Highness, woe is wrong! ”

Yang Tong's heart jumped suddenly, and he said in a deep voice: "Don't panic, say slowly, what's wrong?" ”

"The camp has been bombed!"

Just three words, like a tsunami, exploded in everyone's hearts.
