After all, Li Sheng is a representative of the imperial court, and when he saw Ma Sui's anger, he opened his words to persuade: "A year ago, Li Zhaoyi was appointed as the observer of Xing, Ci, and Huanzhou, and these three states should have been his, and Wang Wujun, the general sent by Li Weiyue, is attacking Zhaozhou Kang Rizhi (Kang Ben is the assassin of the Chengde army in Zhaozhou, and now he is in the imperial court anyway), Zhaozhou is only seventy miles away from Xingzhou, Li Zhaoyi's duty is to have concerns. ”

But Ma Sui still refused to give up, so Li Sheng could only express his position for the time being, saying that he was willing to go to the imperial court after the victory and subsidize the taxes of several states in Hezhong to the Hedong Jiedu envoy.

Only then did Ma Sui's tone loosen a little, and he said to Li Sheng sincerely: "It's not that the contemptible husband is calculating, but when he went out to war, the contemptible husband scattered all his family wealth and gave the soldiers as a reward, such as Xing, Xu, and Cizhou's Zhaoyi Army, which was given to Li Ashi's Zhaoyi army, I am afraid it will chill the hearts of my Hedong soldiers." ”

Li Sheng hurriedly clenched his fists and said: "Your Majesty is in the capital, day and night, I hope that the three of us will unite sincerely, cut off Wei Bo's rebellion as soon as possible, and return to the dynasty in triumph." When the time comes, don't say that there are only three states, that is, five states and ten states, can Your Majesty still be stingy? Sheng immediately went to the imperial court, please first allocate 50,000 yuan to the branch secretary and distribute it to the soldiers in Hedong. ”

Hearing this, Ma Sui was overjoyed, so together with Li Sheng, he visited Li Baozhen's camp and asked Li Keqi to march together and fight a decisive battle with Tian Yue.

And Li Baozhen, who stayed by the Dan furnace, saw that Ma Sui came to see him openly, and he was embarrassed to refuse, so he said that everything was under Wei Bo's orders.

Soon, Tian Yue at the head of Anyang City saw that in the camp of the imperial court officials, the soldiers were busy back and forth, cutting and carrying wood, and began to build bridges on the Huanshui River, "Don't you want to cross the bridge to attack us?" ”

The bridge-building project of the official army was progressing rapidly, and Tian Yue saw within a few days that a total of three pontoon bridges were erected at intervals on the Huanshui River.

happened to face Li Sheng and Li Baozhen. Ma Sui's camp.

Every day that followed, all three armies sent their cavalry over the bridge to provoke and insult the Wei Bo camp.

Wei Bo's generals asked Tian Yue whether to fight or not, Tian Yue just said that the wall did not move, and said, "According to the news of the scouts, Ma Sui went south from Linhao, hundreds of miles deep into Ci and Xiang, and the food in the camp was only ten days left, and the follow-up grain and clothes were not continued, so Ma Sui and others were in a hurry, you should not fall into the trap, as long as you can't hold out, in another ten days, the official army will definitely retreat." ”

The days went on and on, and at last on the tenth day, there was a sudden sign of noise and roaring in the camp of the officers and soldiers.

Tian Yue, who heard the news, hurriedly climbed the horse wall of Anyang City with Tian Xu, and clearly saw that in the official barracks opposite Huanshui, soldiers and horses were running in disorder, and they were very noisy.

"Under the section!" As soon as several generals shouted out, Tian Yue raised his hand and said that he would arrange it as soon as possible and not delay the fighter, "Ma Sui finally couldn't hold back and exposed his flaws because he ran out of food." Passing my order, the army immediately went out of the city, Wei Bo's children in the center, Ziqing's children in the east, and Chengde's children in the west, each facing the official army on a bridge, and after the drum was beaten, they rushed across the bridge together to attack the official army barracks. ”

"Whoa!"

As a result, when Wei Bo's army marched vigorously and went out of the city before dawn to line up, several beacons suddenly shouted on the watchtower of the Anyang city wall - they saw that on the other side of the river at this moment, the 20,000 elite cavalry of the Ma Sui army held Songming in unison, lined up along the river bank to form a fire dragon, and quickly drove eastward.

And I didn't see the movements of Li Baozhen and Li Shengjun.

"Ma Sui is going to smash my Wei Mansion City......"

"Under the festival, do you also have to go east, the defenders of Weifu City are only three thousand now!"

"Don't panic." Tian Yue clenched the whip and shouted, then he raised the tip of the whip high, and the tip pierced into the white misty morning glow of the fish's belly, the winter wind on both sides of the river under it was cold, the water was covered with gray-white broken ice, and the grass was invincible back and forth, and then the tip of the whip was chopped down, pointing to the opposite bank: "Forcibly cross the water, burn the opponent's camp and baggage, Ma Sui can do nothing!" ”

"Wow, ahhhh Tens of thousands of Wei Bo, Chengde and Ziqing rebels all raised their banners, and the men and horses surged like a frenzy, rumbling towards the direction of the three bridges.

Tian Yue rode a horse and galloped left and right to the deafening sound of drums:

Cheng De's army was the least numerous, and crossed the West Bridge first;

Then more than 10,000 Lu troops from Ziqing Ping crossed the East Bridge;

The 30,000 Wei Bo army is also almost all of Tian Yue's family background, and more than 10,000 people in the former army have also crossed the middle bridge one after another.

By noon, the wind was even stronger, Wei Bo's army had all crossed the river, and the official and military barracks were connected for several miles in front of him, Tian Yue saw that he was in the upper hand, so he ordered the whole army to set fire!

For a time, the rebels lit fires everywhere, burned the grass and fields, and rushed down the wind, and the fire quickly spread to the official barracks, burning it into a sea of fire.

After the camp, Li Sheng led thousands of Shence troops to fight against the battle, and the soldiers of the Chengde army and the Pinglu army rushed up like a wild bee, and the crossbow arrows of both sides flew staggeredly, and then the long stabbing like a forest stabbed together, and it was difficult to solve for a while.

"Where's Ma Sui!" Tian Yue is most concerned about this issue.

Then the tooth soldier beside him pointed to the east of the battlefield where the fireworks were flying, about five or six miles, "That's the Ma Sui Army." ”

Tian Yue saw it kindly, Ma Suijun had stopped continuing to go east, and began to turn around the formation, but he did not come to save Li Sheng and his own camp, as if he was hesitating.

Tian Yue, who captured the fighters, arranged for the reinforcements of Chengde and Pinglu to fight against Li Sheng's Shence army, and he commanded 30,000 Wei Bo elites, while wantonly setting fires, and pounced on the array of Ma Sui's army.

"I'll set fire to it too!" Ma Sui ordered.

After the Hedong soldiers got the order, they all put down the pine in their hands, set fire to the grass under their feet, and the whole army retreated while burning until all the boundaries of more than 100 steps in front of the formation were burned into a wall of fire.

At this time, Wei Bo's army forcibly traveled five or six miles, and when they arrived in front of the Ma Sui army's array, they were already short of men and horses, sweating like rain, and at this time, the front of the Ma Sui army's array had been burned into a white ground by their own side - Wei Bo's army's fire was also quickly extinguished on this white land, and it could not be burned any longer.

After the smoke cleared, the tired Wei Bojun couldn't help but be frightened when he saw that the infantry of the Hedong Army on the opposite side was in the center, the cavalry and horses and chariots were arranged on both wings, the equipment was well-armed, and the formation was strict.

The forward of the Hedong Army is a brave man with a long knife in his hand, who is waiting for work and preparing to go.

"Don't panic, don't panic......" Tian Yue realized that he had been tricked, so he and Tian Xu shouted to prohibit the soldiers from fighting.

But this had no effect, and one after another, Wei Bo's army had already left the team and began to flee in the opposite direction.

Suddenly, three pontoon bridges on the Huanshui River caught fire and burned down: Ma Sui had arranged for more than 100 cavalrymen to hide in the grass on the riverbank, but after seeing that the rebels had all crossed the river, they all got up, climbed over their horses, held fire and wood, and lit the pontoon bridge.

"The rebels' retreat has been lost, all of you are moving forward together, killing Tian Yue without leaving a piece of armor!" Ma Sui's eyes widened in anger, and he raised the gavel with his own hands, and beat the drum of the decisive battle of the army.
