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

"Uncle Fourth, something happened in Linyi County!"

Sun Ying urged his horse to gallop and said breathlessly: "Meng Rang rebelled in Linyi. The situation in Linyi County is critical. Uncle San asked you to go back immediately. He wants to lead his army back to Linyi. Fei County is now an empty city."

Sun Zhian was shocked and asked anxiously: "What's going on in Linyi County?"

Sun Ying took out a letter and handed it to him, "This is the urgent letter from Uncle San!"

Sun Zhian opened the letter and read it quickly. It was Meng Rang's rebellion in Linyi. Linyi city was in chaos and the situation was extremely critical. The eldest brother Sun Xuanya said in the letter that he had led his army back and Fei County was empty. Sun Xuanya was afraid that Fei County would be attacked by sneak attack, so he asked him to give up attacking Mengyin Fort and return to defense immediately.

Sun Ying handed him another arrow of gold to mobilize troops. Sun Zhian felt in a mess. His wife and children were in Linyi County. What should his family do if something happened in Linyi County?

Sun Zhian looked back at the strong and towering Mengyin Fort. He had lost nearly two thousand people, and the castle was still standing tall, leaving some troops to attack the castle without any help.

Sun Zhian was anxious and thought about it and had to give up attacking the castle for the time being. He shouted loudly: "The team gathers and withdraws to Fei County!"

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

It is about eighty miles apart from Mengyin Fort to Fei County, mainly consisting of plains and gentle hills, with forests and rivers crisscrossing, and large areas of wheat fields are distributed among them. As the wheat is about to mature, the golden wheat waves are rising and falling with the wind.

The eighty-mile journey takes a day and a night for Sun Xuanya's army. At dusk, the team came to a hilly area. The hills here were very small, mostly irregularly round, covered with dense woods, with valleys crisscrossing between the hills and roads.

As the sky was getting late, the exhausted soldiers were waiting for Sun Zhian to order the marching to stop and rest on the spot, but Sun Zhian wanted to fly back to Feixian at this time, without any idea of ​​stopping and resting.

General Liu Meng rushed forward and whispered: "Brothers are all very tired, do you want to take a rest?"

Sun Zhian said with a gloomy face: "It's not that you're going to fight. Go back to the city and rest. Let me speed up. You must go to the county town at dawn."

Liu Meng was helpless. It seemed that the general was going to march overnight, so he had to convey the order.

When the soldiers heard that they were going to march overnight, they all complained and complained, so they had to force themselves to march. After about an hour, the army came to a stream. At this time, the sky was already dark and the soldiers were tired and hungry. Many people could not walk around.

When the soldiers saw a stream ahead, they rushed up one after another. The team suddenly became chaotic. Sun Zhian was furious and waved the soldiers, "Go back all!"

At this moment, a wolf-toothed arrow shot out from the dense forest, hitting Sun Zhian's back of the neck. Sun Zhian let out a muffled groan and covered his neck and fell off his horse.

The soldiers did not notice the abnormality of the commander. But Sun Zhian's personal soldiers discovered it. They rushed up desperately. Seeing an arrow shot through the commander's neck, they shouted in horror. "There is an enemy situation."

Before he finished speaking, fires burst into the dense forests on both sides, "Dong!Dong!Dong!Dong!" The drum sounded loudly, and two armies came out from the left and right. The general on the left was like a giant spirit god, holding a large iron spear. It was Yuchi Gong, and the general on the right was immediately hung a horse spear and a archery bow in his hand, but it was Pei Xingyan. It was him who shot Sun Zhian off the horse with one arrow.

The four thousand Sui army shouted and killed the sky, and they rushed to a group of chaotic bandits. The bandits were so scared that they ran away and rushed northwards. They pushed each other and countless people were squeezed to the ground, trampled by the chaotic soldiers, screaming and crying sounded.

The main general Sun Zhian was seriously injured and his life and death was unknown. In this battle, the bandit army was ambushed by the Sui army. The troops were defeated like mountains in chaos. The bodies of the murdered people were piled up in the valley and blood stained the grass red.

At this time, the leader of the Sui army, Zhang Xuan, led two thousand to fight from behind, cut off the bandits' escape route. The bandits were desperate and knelt on the ground and raised their swords to surrender. Countless surrenders were surrendered.

An hour later, the battle gradually stopped, and hundreds of people who fought stubbornly were massacred. Teams of surrendered soldiers surrendered their weapons, took off their armor, and raised their hands and were escorted to the valley by Sui soldiers waiting for disposal.

At this time, a soldier ran forward and whispered to Zhang Xuan. Zhang Xuan quickly walked to a corpse wrapped in a battle flag. The soldier opened the banner and a body shot to death appeared in front of everyone. It was the enemy commander Sun Zhian. He was shot in the throat and soon he died of anger.

"Buried him on the spot." Zhang Xuan said to the soldiers on the left and right.

Chen Xu whispered, "General, his head may be able to ask the court for credit."

"No need, it doesn't matter if you catch Sun Xuanya, no one else is important. Leave him a complete body!"

Zhang Xuan quickly walked towards the valley. At this time, Yuchi Gong stepped forward to report: "The inventory has been completed, and there are only more than 300 escapees, killing 1,600 people, and the remaining 6,000 people were all captured."

Zhang Xuan nodded, "Let your brothers clean the battlefield, hurry up and rest, and return to Fei County after dawn!"

As soon as dawn the next day, the Sui army escorted more than 6,000 prisoners of war back to Fei County.

In Yu County, Wang Bo was woken up by his personal soldiers early in the morning. The soldiers guarding the city sent him good news. The Sui army had all retreated last night. This news made Wang Bo overjoyed and immediately rushed to the city wall.

At the end of the city of Dongcheng, Wang Bo looked at the Sui army camp several miles away. All the Sui army's tents and flags were gone, and there seemed to be no one on the mail tower. This was the state of withdrawal. This shows 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 team of spies rushed over from the Sui army camp and shouted under the city: "King, there is something strange!"

"What's going on?"

"The Sui army does not seem to show signs of garrison."

Wang Bo was stunned, what's going on?

He immediately ordered the city gate to open, and personally led a team of soldiers to the camp of the Sui army three miles away. On the open space three miles away, the Sui army did not build a wall, but directly laid a large tent on the open space.

Wang Bo also discovered something strange. There were no signs of burying the pot and cooking around the camp, nor were there any signs of soldiers spending the night. There were not even many footprints, just as if he had stabbed hundreds of empty tents.

Wang Bo was a little confused. Could it be that the Sui army came to attack him just to shoot him, and then left after showing his face. He has been facing a lot of empty accounts these days?

If this is true, what is the intention of the Sui Army?

Wang Bo felt a bad feeling in his heart, and Sun Xuanya would probably be in trouble.

Just as Zhang Xuan used a trick to eliminate the bandits in Langya County, Wang Shichong had also returned to Qinghe County from Jiangdu. Although Emperor Yang Guang threatened him and did not allow him to loot Qingzhou again, Wang Shichong did not take the threat of the emperor to heart. He was like a hungry leopard leader, who needed a lot of flesh and blood to support his 20,000 subordinates. This was the most important thing for Wang Shichong and the most concerned thing.

But the ambitious Wang Shichong never expected that he had just returned to Qinghe County and was hit by a blow. The hundreds of ships he had collected with great effort were attacked by Zhang Xuan's army, the large ship was stolen, and the small ship was burned.

This news made Wang Shichong unable to say a word for a long time, his eyes were full of anger, and Wang Renze was even more frightened. He had never seen his uncle so angry. He knelt on the ground and lowered his head deeply, and did not dare to take a breath.

Wang Shichong collected ships not just to loot Qingzhou. He originally wanted to lead his army to head north or south along Yongji Canal. The ships were his best tools for transporting food and food, but now Zhang Xuan burned it with a fire, shattering all his plans.

Although Wang Shichong wished he could cut Zhang Xuan into pieces, he had no ship to cross the Yellow River now and was helpless against Zhang Xuan. He could only bury this hatred deeply in his heart. Sooner or later, he would calculate the general account with Zhang Xuan.

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

"Reporting to my uncle, my nephew has been paying attention to this matter. During this period, Yongjiqu has not had a private boat except the official boat."

Wang Renze carefully answered his uncle's question. He also understood in his heart that they had forcibly abducted civilian ships two months ago, which scared the civilian ships. Now they dare not pass by any ships in Qinghe County.

Wang Shichong snorted heavily, "There is no Qinghe County, which does not mean that there are no other counties. I will pass my order and the army gathers in Qinghe County and prepares to go to Xiangguo County and Wu'an County to suppress the bandits."

Wang Renze 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 they are not in their position and do not plan their own affairs, Wang Ren does not understand Wang Shichong's good intentions. If they cannot plunder in Qingzhou for the time being, they can only make the idea of ​​Hebei.
