To the east of Weinan, Dongyang Post, a large number of cavalry were staying here. King Yang Guang of Jin and others were having a meal at the post station. The trembling post chief was waiting aside, and he didn't dare to leave.

When Baqiao was defeated, Yang Guang ran wildly, and fled east under the escort of the cavalry. He passed Xinfeng Camp without stopping, and then went to Weinan, and arranged for the generals to guard the city and then continued to go east.

The pursuers were gradually left behind and arrived at Dongyang Post east of Weinan, and the Zhou army was gone.

It was noon when Baqiao was defeated. Everyone came here with empty stomachs and ate the food offered by the Yicheng. Fortunately, Yang Guang has not yet come back to his senses.

He had never led troops to fight a major war before. He had a chief military officer and Sima served him. This great defeat can be said to be the first major setback in his life.

The defeat was so slapped that Yang Guangxiang was very proud of himself. He felt that he was slapped in the face in public but could not fight back or even avoid him. He could only humiliate others in full view of the public.

After defeat, Yang Guang was defeated, and he had so many troops under his command, but he collapsed by himself in the middle of the battle, hahahaha!

There seemed to be whispers in his ears. Yang Guang only felt that everyone was ridiculing him, his mind was filled with the ridicule of others. He wanted to cry loudly, but his self-esteem did not allow him to do so.

I really want to find a crack in the ground or find a place to hide, and never ask about the world.

The food and cheese paddles placed on the table did not move at all. Yang Guang clenched his fists and looked at the food case in a daze. Yu Qingze, who was beside him, saw this and quickly stepped forward to persuade him: "Your Highness, fill your stomach first, your health is important."

"But..."

"Your Highness, don't worry, your highness has already made plans."

Yu Qing asked others to avoid him and asked Yang Guang to listen to his analysis while eating. Yang Erlang was so indifferent, just what he meant: a young man had no backbone, so he would naturally obey his words, so that his talents could be displayed to the greatest extent.

The current situation is first of all, stop loss, and defending the "Zheng" in Huazhou Prefecture is the key. Weinan is too close to Chang'an and is easily surrounded and can only be a victim of the Zhou army stagnant in Chang'an.

Yu Qing suggested that Yang Guang gathered the defeated troops to defend Zhengcheng, and at the same time conveyed the news of the defeat and the facts to Luozhou and Hedong, and asked King Yang Jun of Qin and Hedong Prefecture to organize military reinforcements.

"Your Highness must defend Huazhou. No matter how bad it is, he must defend Tongguan. He must have a place to stand in Guanzhong to wait for the changes in the current situation."

"What is the change of the situation?"

"Your Highness, those rebel generals defected to the Zhou army. Not to mention how much effort they will be put into the future, food alone can give Zhou army a headache..."

Yu Qing continued to analyze the large granary in Guanzhong, one is Taicang in Chang'an, and the other is Guangtong Cang in Weikou. Now that the food stored in Guangtong Cang is over, there is only Taicang left, and only the stored grain there can support the military consumption.

There were already many Zhou troops entering the pass, and now the number of rebel Sui troops has doubled. The daily expenses of so many soldiers are not a joke. The Sui army was worried about the problem of food cuts a few days ago, and it was now the Zhou army's turn to have a headache.

In addition to the army, there are also people. The household registration in Chang'an is 100,000. Although the people will have food stored at home, it will not be too much. Without the import of foreign grain, the grain production in Guanzhong alone is far from enough.

As long as the Sui army defended Huazhou, the retreating Jing and the two original armies were guarding Longyou, the Sui army in Shu was very likely to advance to Guanzhong, so the Zhou army in Guanzhong had to divide its troops to guard various passes. In addition to the surrendered Sui army, the logistical pressure would inevitably increase dramatically.

In the Taicang City of Chang'an, there are so many troops to support the people of Chang'an, and the burden must be very high. Therefore, the Zhou army had to rely on Wuguan Road to transport food from Shannan. However, this was just that the distance water could not save the nearby fire. Not to mention anything else, the loss on the road was enough.

Yu Qingze's idea was to try his best to confront the Zhou army in Guanzhong. If he missed the spring plowing Guanzhong, he might not have lost his harvest in autumn, and a great famine would inevitably break out.

Without food, the people and soldiers cannot be raised, so the Zhou army can still stay in Guanzhong?

"Pengcheng Gong, our army is afraid that we can't wait for autumn in the current situation. Once Luozhou falls, the Zhou army advances westward...ah."

"What if Yuchi Jiong sat in the mountain to watch the tiger fight?"

Yang Guang was stunned when he heard this and frowned. Yu Qingze's words pointed out a problem, that is, there may be an internal strife in Zhou State, but is this possible?

"It's possible, of course, the officials cannot guarantee that it will happen. Even if the chance of occurrence is small, it may be possible."

Yu Qingze came to this point. The political situation of Zhou State was somewhat subtle, and there may not be no cracks between the Prime Minister Yuchi Jing and the royal family member Yuwen Liang.

The Zhou army is also different from the Zhou army in Shannan and other places. The army that invaded Chang'an was the Zhou army in Shannan, and the commander was Yu Wen Liang, Duke of Qi, who was one of the few troops in the Zhou royal family that could be completely controlled.

If this army is over, then for Yuchi, I'm afraid it's a good idea to achieve it?

"Mr. Pengcheng said that Yuchi Jiong might stand by and watch, let Yuwen Liang maintain his hard work in Guanzhong, and he would not rush to help him?"

Yang Guang's eyes lit up, and Yu Qingze's guess made him see a glimmer of hope. Although it was slim, it was also a hope and a hope for a turnaround.

"I can only say that there is a chance that it will happen. The subordinates are not sure that it will happen, but as long as this is possible, it will be your highness's reliance on turning the situation around!"

The fisherman is profitable when the crane and clam fight, and Yu Qing feels that if he becomes Yuchi Jiong, who is in charge of power, then there will be a very poisonous plan to deal with Yu Wen Liang: take advantage of the situation.

Taking advantage of Yu Wen Liang's presence in Guanzhong, he sent people to Shannan to seize power in the name of the court. At that time, Yu Wen Liang was in a dilemma. Maybe he would be defeated and killed in Guanzhong after struggling for several months, and the Yuwen royal family would be completely destroyed.

Of course, this kind of behavior is too shameful and will make the world look at it. What is more safe is to watch it from the wall.

Maintain the current front line and prevent the Sui army in Luozhou or Hedong from having the spare energy to return to Guanzhong, and let Yuwen Liang's Shannan Zhou army consume in Guanzhong and Sui army. After a few months, the food supply could not be provided, so they could only return to Shannan.

The Zhou army in Shannan retreated, and the Sui army in Guanzhong was seriously injured, and the food was not enough. The Sui army in Luozhou and Hedong were almost exhausted. Then Yuchi Jiong could make efforts to let the generals of the Yuchi family lead the Zhou army to break Luoyang and enter Guanzhong.

The same is about regaining the rivers and mountains, the recovery of the Yuwen family and the recovery of the Yuchi family are two different situations.

If Yuwen Liang leads the recapture of Guanzhong, then the power of the royal family will greatly increase, which is not good news for powerful officials.

If the generals of the Yuchi family attacked Guanzhong, then Yuwen Liang's power would be limited to Shannan. Even if the Zhou Kingdom unifies the north of the Yangtze River, the Yuwen family would gradually decline and would no longer be able to turn the world back.

When Yang Jian usurped power, Yuchi Jiong raised the banner of Zhou. If Guanzhong was recaptured, then the country of Zhou was protected by Yuchi Jiong, and he also recovered it. He could be granted the king with such great achievements.

Yuchi Jiong, who is in power but is old, can follow Cao Cao's story to be Emperor Wu of Wei, let his son become Emperor Wen of Wei, and eventually become the treasure of Yuchi's family.

Those with a little bit of mind can see this subtle situation from the current political situation of Zhou State, while Yu Qing puts his hopes on the fact that the internal strife occurred in Zhou State.

"Yuchi Jiong is the nephew of Zhou Taizu. Maybe he would think about friendship and not kill the Yuwen family, but he himself has a son, grandson and clan members, so it is impossible not to ignore the interests of the Yuchi family."

"So it is very likely that the generals of the Yuchi family will watch the wall and deliberately delay the war to weaken Yuwen Liang. Although the chance may not be high, as long as Zhou Ting's assistance is not timely, our army will have a chance."

Yu Qingze was very sensible, and Yang Guang nodded in his ears. The haze in his heart had dissipated, and he had finished eating and drinking without realizing it.

There is hope but slim. First, the Sui army in Guanzhong should stop the decline and avoid the Chang'an Zhou army taking advantage of the victory to expand the results; secondly, at least defend Tongguan and not let Luozhou be attacked from both sides;

Finally, I pray that the Zhou court will watch the wall and do not fully support the Zhou army in Guanzhong.

Three unknown factors lead to a very low chance of turning the tables in the end, but Yang Guang is still very excited because at least he still has a chance. Just as a drowning man caught a life-saving straw, his mentality instantly changed.

"Your Highness, the most urgent thing is..."

Before Yu Qingze finished speaking, someone came in to report that news came from Huazhou Prefecture Office that the rebel Yanzhou army had already moved south from Tongzhou Wuxiang to Xingdejin at the Weishui Ferry Crossing. It seemed that they were going to attack Zhengcheng, the capital of Huazhou Prefecture.
