"What happened?" Sun Zhian rushed forward and asked loudly.

"Fourth uncle, something happened in Linyi County!"

Sun Ying urged Ma to rush forward and panted and said: "Meng Rang rebelled in Linyi, the situation in Linyi County is critical, the third uncle asked you to go back immediately, he will lead the army back to Linyi, Fei County is now an empty city." ”

Sun Zhi'an was shocked and asked urgently: "What's going on in Linyi County?" ”

Sun Ying took out a letter and handed it to him, "This is an urgent letter from the third uncle!" ”

Sun Zhi'an opened the letter and hurriedly read it, it was Meng Rang who rebelled in Linyi, Linyi City was in chaos, the situation was extremely critical, the eldest brother Sun Xuanya said in the letter that he had led the army back, Fei County was empty, Sun Xuanya was afraid that Fei County would be attacked, so he gave up attacking Mengyin Fort and immediately returned to defense.

Sun Ying handed him another golden arrow to transfer troops, Sun Zhixin was in a mess, his wife and children were in Linyi County, if something happened in Linyi County, what should his family do?

Sun Zhi'an looked back at the sturdy and towering Mengyin Castle, he had lost nearly 2,000 men, the castle was still standing majestically, and it was useless to leave some troops to attack the castle.

Sun Zhi'an was so anxious that he could only give up attacking the castle for the time being, and he shouted loudly: "The team is assembled and withdrawn to Fei County!" ”

When the soldiers of the thief army heard that they would no longer attack Mengyin Fort, they all breathed a sigh of relief and began to assemble from all directions, and half an hour later, Sun Zhi'an led the army to rush to Fei County.

It is about 80 miles from Mengyinbao to Fei County, mainly plains and gentle hills, full of forests, rivers and rivers, and there are large wheat fields in between, and the wheat is about to ripen, and the golden wheat waves are undulating with the wind.

The eighty-mile journey required a day and a night for Sun Xuanya's army, and at dusk, the team came to a hilly area, where the hills were very small. Most of them are irregular in shape, covered in dense woods, with hills and valleys and roads leading in all directions.

Seeing that it was getting late, the exhausted soldiers were waiting for Sun Zhi'an to give the order to stop the march and rest on the spot. But Sun Zhian couldn't wait to fly back to Fei County at this time, and he didn't have the slightest idea of stopping to rest.

General Liu Meng rushed forward and said in a low voice: "The brothers are very tired, do you want to take a break." ”

Sun Zhian said with a gloomy face: "It's not going to war, go back to the city and rest, speed up for me, you must go to the county seat at dawn." ”

Liu Meng was helpless, it seemed that the main general was going to march overnight. He had no choice but to relay the order.

When the soldiers heard that they were going to march overnight, they immediately complained and complained, so they had to march in spirit, and after walking for about an hour, the army came to a stream, and by this time it was already dark, and the soldiers were tired and hungry. Many people can't walk fast.

When the soldiers saw a stream ahead, they immediately rushed up. The team was suddenly in chaos, Sun Zhian was furious, and whipped the soldiers violently, "Go back!" ”

At this moment, a wolf's tooth arrow whizzed out from the dense forest, hitting Sun Zhi'an in the back of the neck. Sun Zhian snorted, clutched his neck and fell off the horse.

The soldiers did not notice the abnormality of the commander, but Sun Zhi'an's own soldiers did, and they rushed up desperately and saw an arrow piercing the commander's neck. Immediately shouted in horror, "There is an enemy-"

Before the words fell, the flames in the dense forest on both sides were everywhere, 'Boom! Boom! Boom! The drum sounded loudly, and the two armies came out from the left and right, the general on the left was like a giant spirit god, holding a big iron spear, it was Yu Chigong, and the general on the right immediately hung a horse lance, holding an eagle bow, but it was Pei Xingyan, who shot Sun Zhi'an off the horse with an arrow just now.

The four thousand Sui soldiers shouted and killed the sky, and killed the chaotic group of thieves together, the thieves were so frightened that their souls were scattered, and they rushed north in fear, they pushed each other, countless people were squeezed to the ground, trampled by the chaotic army, and the screams and cries rang out in one piece.

The main general, Sun Zhi'an, was seriously wounded, his life and death unknown, this army of thieves was ambushed by the Sui army, and the army was defeated in the chaos, the corpses of the killed were piled up in the valley, and the grass was stained red with blood.

At this time, Zhang Xuan, the main general of the Sui army, led two thousand to kill from behind, cutting off the escape and retreat of the thieves.

An hour later, the fighting gradually stopped, hundreds of people who resisted stubbornly were slaughtered, and groups of surrendered soldiers surrendered their weapons, took off their armor, and were escorted by Sui soldiers to the valley to wait for disposal.

At this time, a soldier ran forward and whispered a few words to Zhang Xuan, Zhang Xuan walked quickly to a corpse wrapped in a battle flag, the soldier opened the flag cloth, and a corpse that was shot to death appeared in front of everyone, it was the enemy commander Sun Zhi'an, he was shot in the throat, and soon died.

"Bury him on the spot." Jang Xuan said to the soldiers on the left and right.

Chen Xu reminded in a low voice on the side, "General, his head may be able to ask for merit to the imperial court." ”

"No need, catch Sun Xuanya, the others don't matter, leave him a whole corpse!"

Zhang Xuan walked quickly towards the valley, and at this time, Wei Chigong stepped forward and reported: "The count has been completed, only more than 300 people escaped, 1,600 people were killed, and the remaining 6,000 people were all captured. ”

Zhang Xuan nodded, "Let the brothers clean up the battlefield, and then seize the time to rest, and return to Fei County after dawn!" ”

At dawn the next day, the Sui army escorted more than 6,000 prisoners of war back to Fei County

In Yuyu County, Wang Bo was woken up by his own soldiers early in the morning, and the soldiers defending the city sent him good news that the Sui army had all retreated last night, which made Wang Bo overjoyed and immediately rushed to the city wall.

At the head of Dongcheng City, Wang Bo looked at the Sui army camp a few miles away, all the camp tents and flags of the Sui army were gone, and the sentry tower seemed to be empty, which was the state of the withdrawn army, which showed that Sun Xuanya took action on the eastern front and attacked Mengyin Fort or Dong'an County, and the Sui army was forced to retreat.

At this time, a group of spies rushed from the Sui army camp and shouted under the city: "King, something is strange! ”

"What's going on?"

"There seems to be no sign of a garrison in the Sui army."

Wang Bo was stunned, what's going on?

He immediately ordered the city gate to be opened, and he personally led a team of soldiers to run to the Sui army's camping place three miles away.

Wang Bo also found something strange, there was no sign of burying pots for cooking around the camp, and there were no traces of soldiers spending the night, not even many footprints, as if hundreds of empty tents had been pierced.

Wang Bo was a little confused in his heart, could it be that the Sui army came to attack him just with a false shot, showed his face and left, and he has been facing a bunch of empty accounts in the past few days?

If this is the case, what is the intention of the Sui army?

Wang Bo had a bad feeling in his heart, Sun Xuanya's side was afraid that it would be more auspicious

At the same time that Zhang Xuan used a plan to exterminate the bandits in Langya County, Wang Shichong had also returned to Qinghe County from Jiangdu, although Yang Guang, the Son of Heaven, threatened him and did not allow him to rob Qingzhou again, but Wang Shichong did not take the threat of the Son of Heaven to heart, he was like a hungry leopard leader, and he needed a lot of flesh and blood to feed his 20,000 subordinates, which was the most important thing for Wang Shichong and what he was most concerned about.

But Wang Shichong, who was full of ambition, could not have imagined that as soon as he returned to Qinghe County, he was hit head-on, and the hundreds of ships he had painstakingly collected were attacked by Zhang Xuan's army, the big ships were snatched away, and the small boats were burned.

This news made Wang Shichong unable to say a word for a long time, his eyes were burning with anger, and Wang Ren was even more frightened, he had never seen his uncle so angry, he knelt on the ground and bowed his head deeply, and he didn't dare to take a breath.

Wang Shichong didn't just collect ships to loot Qingzhou, he originally wanted to lead his army north or south along the Yongji Canal, and the ships were his best tool for transporting food and supplies, but now Zhang Xuan burned them down, so that his plans were all shattered.

Although Wang Shichong is eager to cut Zhang Xuan with a thousand knives, he has no boat to cross the Yellow River now, and he is helpless against Zhang Xuan, so he can only bury this hatred deep in his heart, and sooner or later, he will settle accounts with Zhang Xuan.

After a while, Wang Shichong asked in a hoarse voice, "Are there still ships coming and going on the Yongji Canal?" ”

"Back to my uncle, my nephew has been paying attention to this matter, and during this time, Yongjiqu has not had a private boat except for the official ship."

Wang Ren cautiously answered his uncle's question, and he also knew in his heart that in the past two months, they had forcibly seized civilian boats, which frightened civilian boats, and now they did not dare to have any more ships transit through Qinghe County.

Wang Shichong snorted heavily, "Qinghe County does not have it, it does not mean that other counties do not, pass on my order, all the armies will assemble in Qinghe County, and prepare to go to Xiangguo County and Wu'an County to suppress bandits." ”

Wang Ren was stunned for a moment, Dou Jiande and Gao Shida were both in the north and east, but his uncle went to the opposite south and west to suppress bandits, why is this?

If he is not in his position and does not seek his own government, Wang Ren does not understand Wang Shichong's good intentions, if they can't go to Qingzhou to plunder for the time being, then they can only fight the idea of Hebei.

Although rabbits don't eat the grass next to the nest, he Wang Shichong is not a rabbit, he is a carnivorous leopard. (To be continued.) )
