The adventurous sneak attack on Donghai County by Yu Wenhua and his army made Zhang Xuan realize that the situation in the Central Plains was about to change dramatically, and he changed his plan to go to Jiangdu and immediately returned to Qingzhou.

On the way, he issued several orders in a row, mobilizing 100,000 troops, including 30,000 cavalry, to march into the Central Plains.

Pei Xingyan led 30,000 cavalry to enter Xiapi County, Luo Shixin led 50,000 Qingzhou troops from Qi County to Dongping County, preparing to cooperate with Pei Xingyan's cavalry to attack the Wagang army of Liang County, and in the north, Wei Wentong led 10,000 troops to prepare to cross the Yellow River into Xingyang County, and Li Jing led 10,000 troops from Ji County into Dongjun, directly ending the nest of the Wagang army.

The Sui army laid a net of heaven and earth, and it was inevitable to win the Central Plains, but Zhang Xuan did not forget Wang Shichong, and when Zhang Xuan arrived in Lu County, he sent someone to send a letter to Wang Shichong, inviting Wang Shichong to hunt the Wagang army together.

Although he can destroy Zhai Rang and Yu Wenhe by his own strength, from a political point of view, he can't turn his face with Wang Shichong now, he needs to join forces with Wang Shichong to deal with Li Yuan, not let Li Yuan and Wang Shichong join forces to deal with him.

Sharing the interests of the Central Plains with Wang Shichong is a politically necessary compromise.

Of course, if Wang Shichong refuses to accept his plan, then the battle between the two sides in the Central Plains will be inevitable

The news of the destruction of Yu Wenzhi and the whole army finally reached Pengcheng County, and Yu Wenhua fell into a great panic, and he ordered his own soldiers to block all news and secretly execute more than a dozen soldiers who had fled back to prevent the spread of the news.

At the beginning, Yu Wenhua and led an army of 100,000 to leave Jiangdu and go north, but his army was reduced day by day due to escape and war, and with the destruction of the 6,000 troops in Xiapi County, Yu Wenhua and only 13,000 troops remained, including his 2,000 personal soldiers.

In the temporary palace, Yu Wenhua was like an ant on a hot pot, pacing back and forth in his imperial study with his hands in his hands, and kept turning back and asking, "Why hasn't General Shang come yet?" Send someone to urge again! ”

After a while, the guards reported at the door: "Your Majesty, General Shang is here!" ”

Yu Wenhua hurriedly said: "Let him come in!" ”

After a moment, the general Shang Shifu walked into the imperial study quickly, knelt down on one knee and saluted, "Weichen see Your Majesty!" ”

Shang master and apprentice is Yu Wenshu single-handedly cultivated henchman Taibao, ranked third, currently Yuwen Chengdu in Luoyang as Zuotun Wei general, Wei Wentong surrendered Zhang Xuan also reused, the rest of the Taibao or died or fled, only Shang master and apprentice still loyally follow Yu Wenhua and, Yu Wenhua and also trust him very much, named him Long Xiang general, Chen Liujun King, the last more than 10,000 troops will be commanded by Shang Shifu.

"General Yuwen has been wiped out by the whole army, does General Shang know?"

Master Shang nodded silently, "Wechen has heard a little. ”

"If I decide to fight to the death with the Wagang Army, do you approve of it?"

"Your Majesty's order, Weichen will resolutely carry it out."

Yu Wenhua slowly sat down, was stunned for a while, and then asked, "How much food does the army still have?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, I can support it for about six days."

Yu Wenhua immediately dismissed everyone in the imperial study, and then lowered his voice and said to Master Shang: "I plan to secretly retreat north to Dongping County, but I need the cover of the general, you can lead the army to attack the Wagang Army with all your strength, if you are unfortunately defeated, you can go to Juye County, Dongping County to find me, you have been to that manor, remember?" ”

Master Shang nodded, "I went there ten years ago, and I still remember the location of that manor." ”

"That's good! I'm afraid that the news of the annihilation of General Yuwen's entire army will be blocked, so you immediately lead your army to Xiao County, and launch an attack after dark to cover my evacuation. ”

"Obey the order, immediately lead the army to set off, please be careful yourself."

Master Shang and his apprentice bowed and left, Yu Wenhua made up his mind, and he immediately ordered: "Come on, put armor on me." ”

As soon as night fell, an army of 2,000 people escorted more than 1,000 carts out of the city quietly, most of the more than 1,000 carriages were Yu Wenhua and the wealth brought out from Jiangdu, and there were more than 100 Yu Wenhua's concubines, as for the civil and military ministers and hundreds of other palace maids and eunuchs, Yu Wenhua didn't care, let them fend for themselves.

Yu Wenhua wore a golden helmet and gold armor, riding on a white high-headed horse, he looked back at Pengcheng County at night for the last time, and then urged the horse to run north without hesitation surrounded by dozens of cavalry.

Just an hour after Yu Wenhua and the team left, a 30,000-strong Sui cavalry slaughtered Pengcheng County, Pei Xingyan ordered the army to advance to Pengcheng County to rest, and he himself personally led 10,000 cavalry to continue to chase Yu Wenhua.

The cart escorted by Yu Wenhua's army marched north along the river, because the army's horses had become military rations, and the two thousand soldiers could only follow the cart on foot, which made the march of the team very slow, and the soldiers were very silent, no one spoke, only the rustling footsteps and the sound of the cart wheeling.

These two thousand soldiers are the dead soldiers left by Yu Wenshu, and they are very loyal to Yu Wenhua, they enjoy the best treatment, they don't have to fight, they have sufficient military rations, and they also have sophisticated equipment, but at this time, Yu Wenhua has reached the end of the road, and the morale of this army has become very low.

Yu Wenhua's destination is a large manor located in Juye County, Dongping County, that is also a large manor left by Yu Wenshu, covering an area of 5,000 hectares, close to Ju Yeze, there are tens of thousands of stone grain and hundreds of Zhuang Ding in the manor, at present, Yu Wenhua's brother Yu Wenshi and his wife and children are hiding in that manor, Yu Wenshi and his wife is the daughter of the former emperor Yang Guang Nanyang Princess, she did not follow her mother to the Northern Sui, but followed her husband and son to hide in Dongping County.

The team had only gone less than thirty miles, when there was a sudden rumbling thunder behind them, the earth was trembling, and the soldiers looked back, and everyone was so frightened that they saw that the dust in the night sky to the south covered the sky and the sun, and a black line was rushing towards this side under the rolling dust clouds.

Yu Wenhua's face turned pale, and he ordered in a trembling voice: "Resist me!" Resist! ”

At this time, the concubines in several large cars screamed in fright, and some soldiers shouted: "Your Majesty, the front is also here!" ”

Yu Wenhua turned around, almost frightened to fall off the horse, only to see hundreds of steps away, a cavalry of more than 2,000 people was rushing towards him, the momentum was like thunder, the cavalry brandished snowy knives and sharp war lances, and a powerful murderous aura swept over.

When the soldiers were in a panic, Yu Wenhua suddenly drew his horse and fled westward, followed closely by dozens of cavalry guards, this move caught the soldiers off guard, and he was tantamount to abandoning the army and the cart.

The flight of the lord made the soldiers desperate, and he also ran away, but they could not compare with the speed of the cavalry, and the cavalry of the Sui army divided into two routes, half to control the cart and the coachman, and half to chase and kill the fleeing soldiers under the leadership of Pei Xingyan.

The deserter was caught up by the cavalry in a moment, the war horse was wild, the cavalry brandished the war knife, slashed and killed mercilessly, Yu Wenhua and the sailors fell down one after another, and for a time blood splashed, human heads rolled, and screams resounded throughout the field,

Yu Wenhua's mount is one of Yang Guang's collection of BMWs, called Red Arrow, is a superb sweat and blood BMW, running like a red arrow, extremely fast, instantly rushed out of more than 300 steps, leaving the guards behind far away.

But Yu Wenhua only ran out of less than two miles, and suddenly two ambushed cavalry suddenly killed in front, and a hundred cavalry in front surrounded him, and his golden helmet and golden armor were the most conspicuous targets.

The other cavalry intercepted Yu Wenhua's cavalry guards, the guards were killed one after another, and in the end, only Yu Wenhua and one person remained, dozens of war lances pointed at his body left and right, Yu Wenhua could no longer bear the extreme fright, his eyes were dark, he fell from his horse to the ground, and fainted.

At this time, Pei Xingyan urged the horse to run, he glanced at Yu Wenhua on the ground, and asked, "What's the matter with him?" ”

A lieutenant reported: "General Qiyu, we didn't kill him, it was he who fainted with fright." ”

"Useless stuff!"

Pei Xingyan scolded, and then ordered: "Strip off his armor and put him in the prisoner car, and escort him to Zhongdu with the cart." ”

Pei Xingyan looked at Yu Wenhua's BMW, although he was very moved, but such a treasure must be dedicated to the King of Qi, he had to endure the pain of cutting his love, and ordered the soldiers to take the Red Arrow BMW away.

At this time, Pei Xingyan had already received the news that Yu Wenhua and the last army sent by him were surrounded by the Wagang army in Xiao County, and the two sides were fighting fiercely in Xiao County, but the Wagang army was very likely to divide their troops to chase Yu Wenhua, and he had to deal with it immediately.

Pei Xingyan sent 3,000 cavalry to escort the cart and Yu Wenhua to Lu County, while he led 7,000 cavalry to turn to another branch road in the southeast, which was so narrow that the cavalry could not let go of the gallop, so they had to slow down, but they only ran a few miles before two scouts came to them.

The scout at the head reported to Pei Xingyan: "General, the Wagang army has reached twenty miles away, and there are about 10,000 people, who are rushing towards us along the official road. ”

Pei Xingyan looked at the surrounding terrain, and saw that there was a forest within a radius of several miles away, less than fifty steps away from the official road, and he commanded: "Pass my order, the army will go to the woods to ambush, and prepare to ambush the pursuing soldiers of the Wagang army!" ”

Seven thousand horsemen turned around and ran into the woods. (To be continued.) )
