On the east battlefield of Baqiao, the Zhou and Sui army fought fiercely for a morning, and there was still no sign of a victory or defeat as it was almost noon. King Yang Guang of Jin looked at the battlefield from the Central Military Office, feeling extremely anxious.

It has been several days since Guangtongcang was attacked. Even if he tried his best to cover it up, it would not stop the news from spreading throughout the military camp. The supply of food and grass in the army has begun to become tight. Only by striving hard can you have a chance to survive.

Before the food was cut off, the grain from Taicang was supported, and then the grain reserves from nearby prefectures and counties were mobilized to provide support. This was the only way to rescue the emergency. Of course, there was another way to withdraw the troops, but Yang Guang was unwilling to accept it.

The army is coming to Chang'an City, this is the last opportunity. Once the Zhou army gains a foothold in Chang'an, the situation will worsen.

The hub between Shu, Longyou, Hedong and Luozhou is Guanzhong. Without this hub, these places will basically fall into a situation of fighting each other and will easily be defeated one by one by the Zhou army.

What's more, people's hearts disperse before that.

Unable to recover Chang'an, Yang Guang knew that even if he succeeded to the throne, it would be difficult for him to convince the public. He could not even take it down even if he surrounded Chang'an with so many soldiers. No one would believe that he could hold on to the Sui Kingdom.

So even though Yu Qing advised him to withdraw his troops today, Yang Guang stubbornly insisted on attacking for another day. He felt that he might be able to break through Baqiao today, arrive at the eastern suburbs of Chang'an, and then take Chang'an before the food is exhausted.

Now it seems that it is just a dream.

"Your Highness, this is the case, and we must withdraw our troops."

"Mr. Pengcheng, can you use a trick of fraud?"

Yang Guang was lucky, but Yu Qing did not give him any hope: "The subordinates were afraid that the deception would turn into real defeat. The generals of each department had ulterior motives, so maybe they would have a fake act."

"The Dugu General Manager led the Yanzhou Army near Tongzhou. I thought that the Zhou army who attacked Guangtongcang would not be able to hide for long. The back road was safe. Then the officials sent by Gu to collect grain would definitely be able to transport the grain from Hedong. Can't we really wait for a few more days?"

"Your Highness, the pros and cons have been analyzed clearly in the previous discussion. It is useless to have a drop in the bucket. It is easy for the enemy to take advantage of the unstable morale of the army. If you don't leave, you will not be able to leave."

Yu Qing could understand Yang Guang's mood, but he had to adapt to the situation when marching and fighting. The viper stubborn man cut off his arm. If he couldn't bear to let go, then he would be finished, not to mention that he felt that the Sui Kingdom still had a chance.

The current situation is definitely not good for the Sui Kingdom, but as long as you have troops and territory, as long as you win a few battles and stabilize your position and survive for a few years, waiting for the internal strife between the Yuwen family and the Yuchi family of Zhou Kingdom, the opportunity to rekindle will come.

Will these two companies fight? Sure.

Since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, it is impossible for powerful ministers and emperors to live in harmony. Sooner or later, the two sides will decide the outcome. Yang Jian, who was assisting the government, was appointed as the emperor. Even if the old man Yuchi who also assisted the government, could not accept the government, his son would definitely do it.

The fisherman is profitable when fighting against cranes and clams. Although the hope is slim, it is also an opportunity for Yu Qing. Therefore, no matter how you want to preserve your strength, if you don’t have soldiers, you will not be qualified to compete for the world.

Seeing that Yang Guang seemed to be moved, Yu Qing continued to make suggestions. The main force of the official army retreated from Huazhou, with Pujin and Luozhou there. On the one hand, he could get food and grass support from Hedong, and on the other hand, he could work with King Yang Jun of Qin to overcome difficulties.

Advance can attack, retreat can defend, and Bingzhou army must never withdraw from Guanzhong. The Jingzhou army, the Bingzhou army, and the Yuanzhou army only retreat appropriately and eat in nearby prefectures and counties. After a while, I can wait to recover before I can draw it.

Although the Zhou army in Chang'an had Taicang, it could not withstand consumption.

It is spring now, and it is said that spring plowing should be plowing in spring, but because the war has been delayed, it is impossible to plow and sow seeds in time. It has become a fact that Chang'an and its surrounding areas have failed to harvest or even lost harvest this year.

Zhou Jun relied on the fine Wuguan Road to transport food and grass, but in fact, it could not relieve intimate thirst.

More than two hundred years ago, Huan Wen of the Eastern Jin Dynasty attacked the Former Qin Dynasty and walked into Guanzhong on Wuguan Road. He was outside Chang'an City. However, the Qin army occupied Chang'an and did not leave. He still strengthened the walls and cleared the fields to harvest all the wheat around him. The Jin army with a force of more than 40,000 could only retreat back to the south of the mountain because they could not provide military rations.

Yu Qing suggested using the word "drag" method, which would prevent the consumption of the Zhou army from Guanzhong and could not support the other party's food. This strategy was helpless, but it was already the most effective measure that can be taken at present.

There is Taicang in Chang'an City, so it is certainly no problem to supply the Zhou army alone, but tens of thousands of people have to eat. If the other party dares not open a warehouse to provide assistance, it will inevitably lose the people's hearts. If it is provided, it will not last for several months.

Relying on the Wuguan Road to transport food and grass from Shannan, not only was the waste of people and money, but the number was limited. As long as the Sui Kingdom resisted Luozhou and the Hedong line, the Zhou army in Guanzhong would not be able to consume sooner or later.

Even if Yuwen Liang mobilized many troops from Shannan to reinforce, it would be useless, because Guanzhong did not have so much food supply, and he would not be able to stay for a long time. The Sui army's food and grass supply was relatively simple.

"I understand what Gong Pengcheng said, but...ah."

"Your Highness, please cheer up. In the past, the Western Wei Dynasty fought against the Eastern Wei in Guanzhong, and the strength was very different, but she still laughed to the end. She relied on being perseverant and making fewer mistakes, but the other party kept making mistakes."

Yu Qingze has discussed this strategy with Jing, Feng and the former third general manager. He originally wanted to withdraw the siege today, but King Yang Guang of Jin hoped to "attack another day". Now it seems that he really has no hope of taking Chang'an.

"Your Highness, the matter has come to this point. Please order the gold to be mobilized. If you continue to fight, it will only increase casualties and will be of no help."

"good..."

Before he finished speaking, a messenger ran over and was about to report immediately. Seeing the silence of the generals at the scene, Yu Qing waved to him and whisper, and his face changed as he listened.

Although he pretended to be calm, cold sweat still emerged. After the messenger retreated, Yu Qing immediately said to Yang Guang: "Your Highness, it's not appropriate to go further. Please order the Jin to withdraw the troops immediately!"

"Ah? OK..."

Although Yang Guang didn't know what happened, he felt that something big must have happened. He just ordered the sacrificial king to withdraw his troops, but he heard the noise on the other side of the battlefield.

The horns were continuous like a tide, and countless flags appeared in the Zhou army's formation. It should be reinforcements sent from Chang'an. On the leading flag, the gold-plated word "Yuwen" was clearly visible.

"Is it because Yu Wenliang came to supervise the formation?" Yang Guang murmured to himself, then he looked happy: "Does he want to decide the outcome? It's just right, Pengcheng..."

"Your Highness, withdraw your troops immediately!"

Yu Qing didn't care about etiquette and grabbed Yang Guang and wanted to leave. Seeing that the other party was stubborn, he ignored so much and said, "Dugu Kai has rebelled! He occupied the Wu Township of Tongzhou Prefecture, and Pujin controlled it. It would be too late if he didn't leave!"

When the surrounding generals changed their expressions, Dugu Kai, the general manager of Yanzhou who led his army south to reinforce, rebelled and occupied Wuxiang and Pujin, which meant that the army's retreat was cut off!

"Ah? Why, why..." Yang Guang couldn't believe it when he heard this. Before he could finish "How," the Zhou army on the opposite side burst into a tide of shouting: "Tongzhou is trapped, the backbone is broken, and the battle is in front of the formation is today!"

The shouts were shocking, very neat, and tens of thousands of people shouted in unison, as if they were ready. The soldiers of the Sui army gradually began to hesitate.

A moment later, the right wing of the Sui army formation suddenly became turbulent, as if someone was killing each other. A moment later, a deputy general stumbled to report that a general led the battle and surrendered to the Zhou army.

The commotion continued, not only the right wing, but also the left wing began to stir up. Yu Qing didn't care about so much, and pulled Yang Guang and ran back and looked back at Zhou Jun who was cheering. He was extremely sad and angry.

Why is this happening!

The Zhou army that burned Guangtong Cang was like a python in a winding mountain. It was like a python that caught the gap and rushed out of the Qinling Mountains and rushed towards its prey. It bit the Sui army's waist and eyes. It was thought it was just a blow, but it actually had a second blow.

How did they tell Dugu Kai to rebel? How could this be possible?
