Early in the morning, on the wall of Luokoucang, Wei Wentong was silently watching into the distance, he had just received a letter from Shan Xiongxin to him, in which Shan Xiongxin told him that the Son of Heaven had been killed by Yu Culture and killed in Jiangdu, and the Great Sui had already existed in name only, and persuaded him to surrender Wagang and not let the heroic soldiers die anymore.

This news shocked Wei Wentong deeply, because he was the general of the Yuwen family, ranked second in the Thirteenth Taibao, Yu Wenhua was his master, and his former master actually killed the king and usurped the throne, which made him feel more ashamed than others, and he regretted that he had served the Yuwen family.

At this time, the deputy general Zhou Yan slowly walked to his side, and after a long time, he asked in a low voice: "Do we still have to guard Luokoucang?" ”

Wei Wentong looked resolute, nodded slowly, and said: "As long as I am a Sui general for one day, I will defend to the end for one day, and I will never surrender to the Wagang bandits!" ”

"But we only have 2,000 people left, and at least half of the soldiers are wounded, I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist the large-scale siege of the Wagang army, or we will ask King Xun for help."

Wei Wentong's boss is Yang Qing, the king of Xingyang Taishouxun, Yang Qing led 20,000 troops to sit in Xingyang County, but let the Wagang army come and go in Xingyang County, and also let the Wagang army besiege Luokoucang, Wei Wentong has asked him for help three times, but he has never sent a single soldier to support Luokoucang, which is in a critical situation.

Wei Wentong smiled bitterly, "Do you think it makes sense to ask him for help?" ”

Zhou Yan scolded in a low voice: "He is clearly in collusion with the Wagang Army, and he is still the prince of the Great Sui, and he has never seen such a shameless person." ”

"If it weren't for the secret collusion between him and Wagang, how could Zhang Xutuo die? Forget it, don't talk about him, I'll be disgusted when I talk about him. ”

At this time, two cavalry scouts rushed from a distance and shouted under the city: "General. The Wagang Army has retreated! ”

Wei Wentong and Zhou Yan glanced at each other, both of them showed surprise, very strange, how could the Wagang Army retreat?

Wei Wentong thought for a while and said, "Go and have a look!" ”

He led more than two dozen soldiers out of the city, ran towards the Wagang army camp, and climbed over a low mountain beam. The Wagang army camp originally stationed by the river has disappeared, leaving countless tattered items and messing all over the ground, which makes Wei Wentong unable to figure it out, as long as the Wagang army attacks for a few more days, he will not be able to hold Luokoucang, at this critical moment, the Wagang army actually retreated, and his intuition told Wei Wentong. There must be something strange in this.

At this moment, there was a faint sound of drums in the distance, Wei Wentong immediately turned on his horse, took a closer look to the east with the curtain, and saw an army of more than 10,000 people marching towards this side.

"General, it seems to be the Sui army!" A soldier shouted.

Wei Wentong also saw clearly that the banner headed by the Sui army was the Yellow Dragon Banner, and he immediately ordered a cavalry scout: "Go and see who is coming?" ”

The cavalry urged the horses to gallop away. After a short time, he galloped back and reported to Wei Wentong: "General." It was King Xun who came with his army. ”

Wei Wentong's brows furrowed, how could it be that Yang Qing came, does Yang Qing's arrival have anything to do with the withdrawal of the army from Wagang?

But in any case, Yang Qing is his boss, although Wei Wentong really doesn't want to see him, but he can't help it. He had no choice but to come to Yang Qing's war horse, knelt down on one knee and hugged his fists and said, "Wei Wentong has not been seen by His Royal Highness King Xun!" ”

Yang Qing smiled all over his face and said gently: "I know that General Wei will definitely complain that I refuse to send troops to help. ”

"Don't dare!"

"To be honest, I have no choice, Zhai Rang personally led tens of thousands of troops to stare at me. As soon as I led the army out of the city, Zhai Rang would surround my whole army, but I still sent troops, so Shan Xiongxin was afraid of being attacked by the enemy on his back and had to retreat. ”

Wei Wentong secretly scolded Yang Qing for being shameless, Zhai Rang was obviously in Liang County, and the 100,000 Wagang troops were besieging Luokoucang, where to stare at what Xingyang County, although the Wagang army retreated, it had absolutely nothing to do with Yang Qing, there must be another reason.

Wei Wentong was silent, Yang Qing laughed dryly twice, and asked him, "How many troops does Wei Wentong have?" ”

"In your early 2000s?"

"Oh! There are only 2,000 people, if the Wagang army comes to attack again, can you guarantee that you can hold Luokoucang? ”

"I can't guarantee it."

Yang Qing nodded, "I don't dare to guarantee you, Luokoucang is the first granary of my Great Sui, and its strategic significance is extremely important, and it must not fall into the hands of the thief army, I am just worried that you will not be able to hold Luokoucang, so I personally led the army to come, from now on, Luokoucang will be taken over by me." ”

"What about the lowly position?" Wei Wentong said urgently.

Yang Qing glanced at him, "You go and garrison Yangwu County!" That's the gate of Xingyang County, and the strategic location is also very important, so there are no defenders there, so you can go with your own army and go now. ”

Wei Wentong couldn't say a word, he desperately guarded Luokoucang for more than a month, and most of his soldiers were killed and wounded, Yang Qing snatched his credit with such a sentence, which was extremely shameless.

Yang Qing saw the dissatisfaction in Wei Wentong's heart, and his face sank, "What, are you planning to disobey my military order?" ”

Wei Wentong restrained his grief and indignation, got up and said, "Let's go!" ”

He no longer ignored Yang Qing, got up and ran towards Luokoucang, Yang Qing looked at his back, and snorted coldly, "I don't know what to lift!" ”

Half an hour later, Wei Wentong led two thousand soldiers to leave Luokoucang and head in the direction of Yangwu County, he also figured it out, the remaining two thousand soldiers were all struggling out of the hands of death, no matter what, they couldn't be let die anymore,

Half a day after Wei Wentong led his army away, the military department Shangshu, the right guard general Wei Jin and Duan Da led an army of 30,000 to Luokoucang.

Yang Qing personally went out of the city to greet him, and said with a smile: "We are looking forward to the stars and the moon, and we are finally looking forward to the reinforcements, and welcome Wei Shangshu and Duan Xiangguo to come to the aid of Luokoucang." ”

Wei Jin is the son of Wei Xiaokuan, a famous general of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, about fifty years old, burly, thin, with a long square face, dark skin, and looks very capable.

Wei Jin is the third person in the Jingzhao Wei family, upright, very prestigious in the Guan sergeant clan, he is a Confucian general, both outstanding literary talent, but also able to lead troops to fight, he has been a long-term civil servant for seven years, known as Wei Minbu.

Wei Jin is a very serious person, he doesn't like to joke, he keeps a straight face all day long, and he is happy and angry, the city is not deep, he did not hide his disgust for Yang Qing, and asked coldly: "I heard that Luokoucang is garrisoned by Wei Wentong, where are the others?" ”

Yang Qing was secretly annoyed in his heart, and still pretended to be calm and said: "General Wei was the general of Luokoucang before the siege of Wagang, but after the Wagang army came, I was worried that he had too few troops and could not hold Luokoucang, so I transferred him to guard Xingyang County. ”

"Really? Why is the situation I have a little different from what His Royal Highness King Xun said? ”

Duan Da next to him hurriedly haha: "General Wei is the general of His Royal Highness King Xun, since the main general is here, there is no need to ask about the situation of the general, let's discuss how to break the tile gang!" (To be continued.) )
