Sleepy, tired, and afraid, these are the three remaining feelings Yang Guang has now. From yesterday to now, he has spent almost one day on horseback. Except for a short rest in Dongyang Post, he has been running for life.

How did things turn out like this? Is God going to destroy me, Yang Guang?

According to the original plan, Yang Guang rushed from Dongyangyi to Zhengcheng, Huazhou Prefecture, east, and wanted to enter the city before the rebellious Yanzhou army, summoned the army to defend the city and stabilize the position, but an accident occurred halfway.

Passing by Shidi River, the Shidiyu defenders were defeated and were chased by Zhou troops who rushed out of the valley. The opponent's troops actually had no advantage, and I don't know what was wrong. Seeing Yang Guang and his group of cavalrymen, they actually came here to kill.

Yang Guang rushed to Zhengcheng, but had no time to get involved with these people. He distributed some cavalry support and continued to rush forward. As a result, the Zhou cavalry was very cruel. Not only did he break through the interception, but he also disrupted his own team.

Mad dog, a group of mad dogs!

This is Yang Guang’s first impression of these Zhou cavalry and his only impression. The leading general Zhou was like a mad dog, with almost no three-way general in front of him. The horse spear in the hands of others was like a flesh bone, making this person crazy.

He seized several spears, and a cavalry took the lead and led the Zhou cavalry to disperse the Sui army. The infantry that followed first defeated the Shitiyu defenders again, and then charged towards them with spears.

The infantry actually charged on foot at the cavalry, mad dogs, a group of mad dogs!

The situation was chaotic and Yang Guang was at a loss. Fortunately, Yu Qing commanded the cavalry and commanded the group of mad dogs. Before they blocked the stone bridge, they escorted Yang Guang through the stone dike.

The sudden Zhou army blocked Yang Guang's itinerary and waited for them to arrive in the western suburbs of Zhengcheng: the rebel cavalry in Yanzhou had arrived outside the city.

The defenders of Zhengcheng closed the city gate, while the Yanzhou cavalry wandered outside the city. Yang Guang had no chance to enter the city. Yu Qing gritted his teeth to protect Yang Guang and broke through the opponent's interception, walked around the city, and advanced towards Huayin east of Zhengcheng.

If you can't enter Zhengcheng, you can do it if you go to Huayin, but there are still a group of mad dogs behind you. Both sides ran away and chased after you, and they spent a whole night.

The defeat at Baqiao occurred at noon. From then on to the early morning of the next day, Yang Guang and his group had already rode for more than 200 miles. If they hadn't changed their horses in Dongyangyi, the mount would have been unable to bear it.

The cavalry traveled 300 miles day and night, and won a great victory in the attack on the enemy. Yang Guang had heard of this kind of battle with his father. He didn't feel anything at that time, but when he spent more than half a day and ran 200 miles, he knew what it meant.

Tired, sleepy, heavy eyelids, almost unable to spread, confused consciousness, tiredness, and want to sleep. The horse riding time was too long, and the whole body was almost broken, and there was nothing that was not uncomfortable.

And those cavalry that galloped 300 miles a day and night had to fight in this state and eventually defeat the enemy.

It’s easy to say, but hard to do!

"Your Highness, please hold on! Now that our army has passed Huayin, Dingcheng is ahead, and not far from Weikou Guangtongcang, not far from Tongguan!"

"Dingcheng? I remember that when I came, I passed by Dingcheng, with one city on the road. I thought I could summon the defenders..."

"Your Highness! The soldiers of Dingcheng may not be too late. Instead of staying in Dingcheng, it is better to go to Tongguan!"

The Dingcheng mentioned by Yu Qingze is located nine miles east of Huayin, and twenty-six miles northeast is Guangtongcang, Weikou. It is only a few miles from Guangtongcang to Tongguan to the southeast.

From Huayin to Tongguan, less than forty miles, as long as you complete the remaining distance, you can safely arrive at Tongguan. This escape journey, which is nearly 300 miles away, will be successfully concluded.

When Yang Guang thought of this, he looked back at Huayin City in the morning light. When he came, the Huayin City Gate had not opened yet. Although there were fewer pursuers behind him, it was still too risky to turn back, so it would be better to go to Tongguan.

A building appeared on the south side of the road. Yang Guang only felt that it looked familiar. As the distance got closer and closer, he suddenly remembered: This is the Xiyue Temple.

His father Yang Jian ascended the throne and became emperor. He once led his ministers here to worship the gods of Mount Hua and pray for peace and prosperity in the country. Yang Guang, who had just been named King of Jin, also came here with the emperor's ceremonial guard.

Time passes, parents and brothers are no longer in the world, and the family and country are on the verge of breaking. Young dreams are about to die before they even begin.

In a trance, I had already passed the Xiyue Temple and continued to move eastward. As soon as I walked out for several miles, the cavalry in front suddenly fell to the ground. When people were raising their horses and neighing in chaos, many people rushed out of the road.

Everyone was wearing armor and croakers, holding spears or bows and arrows. Many cavalry rushed out from both sides of the woods not far away, and shouts rang out: "The Great Zhou Heavenly Soldiers are here, and they will not be killed after surrendering!"

.....

Dozens of cavalry galloped past, chasing twice as many cavalry, and they headed towards Huayin City, stirring up smoke and dust all the way. When the dust dissipated, more than ten people walked through the deep woods and ran towards the Xiyue Temple not far away.

"Your Highness, there are horses in the temple. Although they are just for transportation, they are at least useful. While Zhou soldiers were led away, we should hurry to Tongguan."

"well..."

Yang Guang was still in shock. Until now, he still couldn't figure out why he encountered a mist here.

He ran eastward from Baqiao. He was going to Zhengcheng, but he wanted to enter Huayin, but he ran to Tongguan because he couldn't. He didn't know that he would come here at first, so how could Zhou Bing know that he could stop him here?

"Your Highness, this must be the rebellious Yanzhou army divided its troops to block the road and intercepted the official army messenger who went to Tongguan to report the news, intending to delay time, just to meet our army."

Yu Qing was a little lucky that the other party set up an ambush here to intercept him, but he was lucky that he had many cavalrymen on his side and was not attacked by the other party in one go.

The two sides fought together, and Yu Qingze wanted to protect Yang Guang and break through, but because there were too many enemies in front of him, he simply turned around and ran back, using a golden trick to escape from the shell halfway.

A small number of people protected Yang Guang from the horse and turned into the woods halfway and hid in Xiyue Temple. The others led the pursuers to run towards Huayin. When the pursuers left, they rode on the horses from Xiyue Temple to continue their journey.

There were cavalry chasing Huayin City on the official road outside. Yang Guang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the horse's hooves. If it weren't for Yu Qing's wiseness, he might have been lost in the chaos.

If you survive a disaster, you will have good fortune. Yang Guang felt that after so many setbacks within a day, it must be God's test for him. Now that he turns bad luck into good fortune, he will definitely work in time.

There are less than forty miles left. When you return to Tongguan, you don’t have to panic like a broken dog.

Today's shame, I will repay you twice the future!

When he arrived at the main entrance of Xiyue Temple, several servants were in a daze. Before he could close the door, he was pointed at by a knife: "Don't say anything!"

The group entered the temple and waited for the main gate to close. Yang Guang breathed a sigh of relief. He was about to ask Yu Qing how to act next, but he heard the sound of a pipa coming. Looking along the sound, he saw several people having fun in the corner of the courtyard.

It seemed that some husband was traveling with friends here. Yu Qing was afraid that the other party would reveal his whereabouts and was about to signal the entourage to take action, but he saw a group of soldiers rushing out from around him, holding weapons to surround them.

The sound of the pipa stopped, and one person said, "Liu Langjun is also proficient in pipa. I have a song. I wonder if Liu Langjun has ever heard it?"

"Liu listened attentively."

The man took the pipa and started to play and sing on his own. The tone was strange, and the lyrics were very sad:
