The resolution to cut off the main food route of the rebels was finalized. Fan Zigai and Huangfu Wuyi, who were loyal to Emperor Yang of Sui, arranged tactical plans overnight, designated a special person to be responsible for scout affairs, and arranged a large number of scouts to disguise themselves as ordinary people to leave the city overnight and go outside the city to monitor the traffic between Jinyong City and the Mangshan battlefield, and did not give the rebels any chance to secretly smuggle food and grass.

Because of his contribution to analyzing the enemy's grain transport situation, Liu Changgong, who had been in the limelight twice, once again caught a fugitive who cooperated with the National Army to attack the rebels' grain transport team. The task of destroying roads and bridges was assigned to Helanyi, another Huben Lang general of the Right Martial Guard. At the same time, the task of establishing a beacon tower was also handed over to Helanyi. Fan Zigai only gave Helanyi a one-day arrangement of beacon towers in order to quickly convey the enemy situation and gain preparation time for Luoyang troops to send troops to rob grain.

The most difficult task of robbing grain was of course to Chen Yingliang and the national army. In order to save time and facilitate the fight, Fan Zigai, who regarded power as his life, gave Liu Changgong and Chen Yingliang the right to fight independently for the first time, allowing Liu Changgong and Chen Yingliang to lead their troops out of the city from any Luoyang city gate at any time without asking for instructions and to attack the rebel grain transport team at any time. There is no need to obtain Fan Zigai's consent as before, and they have entrusted enough trust to Liu Changgong and Chen Yingliang.

The next morning, after a night of rest in Luoyang City, Pang Yu, sent by Wei Xuan, took Fan Zigai back and left resentfully. He did not listen to the explanations of Huangfu Wuyi, Lu Chu and others, and refused to believe that Chen Yingliang's strategy of cutting off the enemy's food route could really work. He arbitrarily determined that the Luoyang army was afraid of the enemy and was ungrateful and did not dare to support the unintentional defeated Daxing reinforcements. He hated Chen Yingliang and the Wubaba Chen Yingliang also hated him half to death.

If Pang Yu had left for an hour late, something might not have happened later, because less than an hour after Pang Yu left, when Chen Yingliang was still handing out a lot of rewards to the soldiers of the National Army, Anxi Gate and Shangchun Gate in Luoyang sent people to report to Chen Yingliang at the same time, saying that he saw wolf smoke rising outside the city. It was very likely that the Sui army scout had discovered the rebel ration team. Chen Yingliang was not vague and immediately stopped issuing rewards and ordered the soldiers to prepare immediately.

After the Servant Army was ready to go to war, another fast horse rushed directly into the Servant Army camp, bringing news to Chen Yingliang that he had indeed discovered the rebel grain transport team set out from Jinyong City. Chen Yingliang was not vague. He sent someone to report to Liu Changgong and asked him to lead the rear army to the battlefield to reinforce as soon as possible. While leading the 800 Servant Army out of the camp from Anxi Gate without hesitation, he trotted to the north to intercept the road.

It is also God destined to let Chen Yingliang show off again. When Chen Yingliang led the National Army to the official road north of Luoyang, about 3,000 rebels and a large number of civilians, carrying thousands of grain trucks of large and small, just walked west from the direction of Jinyong City. Chen Yingliang did not hesitate and immediately pointed a sword. The eight hundred National Army immediately rushed forward like a chicken blood, howling and rushing straight forward.

The army of service that had killed his own team in the city of Jinyong the day before appeared, and the rebels escorted the food and grass had long been scattered. When the army of service was shouting and shouting, the three thousand rebels were all without fighting spirit from top to bottom, and they threw down the food and grass vehicles, and rushed to escape. The civilians who drove the car and carried the loads fled all over the mountains and fields. More than 20,000 stones of precious military rations were easily seized by Chen Yingliang. The war was so smooth and rapid that when Liu Changgong brought the rear army to the scene, there was no sign of a rebel soldier at the scene.

General Liu won such a great contribution without any effort

Of course, the army was so happy that they couldn't even close their mouths. The army of the service was all smiling happily. Chen Yingliang had no time to celebrate the victory with the soldiers. He only personally interrogated several rebel soldiers who sprained their ankles while running away and were captured by the service army. "Are you going to take your food and grass to where you are? In addition to your grain team, is there any other grain transport team in Jinyong City?"

Unfortunately, the rebel soldiers were as low as those of the Sui army scouts in Luoyang. They were all questioned and didn't know anything about Chen Yingliang. They just kowtowed and begged for mercy. There was no useful information to Chen Yingliang. Chen Yingliang had no choice but to change his words and asked, "Then do you have a deadline for transporting grain? That's your general. Have you ordered you to transport grain to your destination before?"

"General, what is the destination?" a rebel soldier asked timidly.

"It's so tired." Chen Yingliang slapped his forehead and shouted: "It's Yang Xuangan's place, and his destination is Yang Xuangan's camp. Have your general ordered you to transport the food to Yang Xuangan before when?"

"Yes, yes." Several rebel soldiers kowtowed quickly and rushed to answer: "General Yang told us that within tomorrow, we must transport the food and grass to the Chu Gong camp, and transport it in advance to get rewards. If you are late, you will be punished. General Yang will be punished, and we will be punished, and we will be punished too!"

"In the future?!" Chen Yingliang was overjoyed, clenched his fist and blurted out: "That's great. Yang Xuangan did not have enough food or grass. Otherwise, Jinyong City would not be so anxious to deliver food!"

Basically confirming that his judgment and analysis were correct. Chen Yingliang was happy and was also secretly worried. Because no matter how correct the tactical strategy in Luoyang was, Wei Xuan needed to cooperate with this tactic to work. If Wei Xuan did not listen to Fan Zigai's kind advice, refused to adopt the tactic of perseverance against consumption, and insisted on sending troops to fight, then no matter how hard the enemy's food route was cut off, it would be useless. - Chen Yingliang, who is familiar with the world, could see that Pang Yu sent by Wei Xuan was very dissatisfied with him, and it was very likely that he would be very powerful when he returned to Wei Xuan.

f4 talks badly about himself.

Taking this into consideration, after returning to the city for the third triumphant return, Chen Yingliang immediately came to Fan Zigai for a visit and reported his concerns directly to Fan Zigai. As a result, Fan Zigai smiled bitterly after hearing this, and said, "You are worried that Wei Wensheng will not listen to my advice. I am more worried than you. Although I and Wei Wensheng are a little friendly, I know that the old guy has a stubborn temper. It is difficult for others to talk to him except the emperor, so he may not listen to the letters and suggestions I gave him."

"Sir, what should we do?" Chen Yingliang asked worriedly: "If Wei Shangshu insisted on not being able to fight against the waste, he must immediately send troops to fight Yang Ni's main force. If there is any accident, no matter how we lose food, it will be useless."

Fan Zigai thought for a moment and quickly said, "Tonight I will send Wei Wensheng another letter to tell him your achievements and the harvest of robbery, and advise him again. If he still refuses to listen, then I will have no choice."

"Is this useful?" Chen Yingliang was still very worried, but he couldn't think of any way to make Wei Xuan firmly implement his tactical strategy, so he had to let Fan Zigai take a chance. At the same time, Chen Yingliang secretly comforted himself with a very unconscience, "I'm afraid of a ball! No matter how bad Wei Xuan loses, it's up to me? If that old guy doesn't want to listen to my good ideas, he'd better die in the battlefield to avoid resentment in the future! If that old guy has a beautiful and unmarried granddaughter, I will take care of his granddaughter for him in the future, which is worthy of him."

…………

Chen Yingliang, who had been in good luck after coming to Luoyang, seemed to have absorbed all the luck of the people around him. This time was no exception. With the intentional indulgence of the rebels, Pang Yu successfully brought Fan Zigai's letter back to Wei Xuan's camp and brought the news that Luoyang defenders had "ungrateful" refused to help to Wei Xuan. Wei Xuan, who was already worried about the successive defeats, was furious and did not look at the content of Fan Zigai's letter. As soon as he heard Pang Yu's introduction, he slapped the table and roared, "Fan Huazong, you old old guy! I have come to save you hundreds of miles, and you are just repaying me like this?"

Pang Yu did not dare to offend Fan Zigai, who was deeply trusted by Emperor Yang of Sui, so he quickly launched a scapegoat, "Wei Liushou, in fact, Fan Liushou planned to send troops to cooperate with us to attack Yang's rebels, but there happened to be a minor official in the recording room named Chen Yingliang who was present. He slandered and encouraged Fan Liushou not to send troops to meet us, and proposed a strategy to cut off the treacherous food channels. Fan Liushou then changed his mind and refused to agree to send troops to help us quell the rebellion."

"A small official named Chen Yingliang?" Wei Xuan was stunned and thought to himself, why did I seem to have heard of this name? Then Wei Xuan said in confusion: "No, I know that stubbornness is stubborn, but he is still unambiguous in major affairs of the court. He has always been reliable in doing things. How could he listen to a small official's nonsense for no reason?"

"That little official just made some achievements and was right next to Fan Liushou at that time." Pang Yu then briefly introduced the situation at that time. Naturally, he had to add fuel to the fire during this period. He pushed all the crimes of Luoyang's army's refusal to rescue Wei Xuan's army on Chen Yingliang, who he absolutely dared to offend, and intentionally or unintentionally concealed Chen Yingliang's incisive analysis of the battle situation, and described Chen Yingliang's rational analysis as speculation out of thin air and nonsense.

After being fanned by Pang Yu, Wei Xuan was in an extremely bad mood and was even more angry. He then opened Fan Zigai's handwritten letter to watch. However, after carefully reading the content of the letter, Wei Xuan calmed down a little - after all, in the Liaodong War in the first year, when Emperor Yang of Sui was blindly commanded and led to a complete defeat, Wei Xuan's team was the one with the least losses.

"Fan Huazong's suggestion actually makes sense. If Yang Ni's rebels' food is really insufficient, he cut off Yang Ni's food route in Luoyang. In a few days, I will win the opportunity to turn defeat into victory." Wei Xuan thought in his mind, and at the same time warned himself, "Don't be careless. Fan Huazong has a way of managing politics and the people, but it is not possible in war. Yang Ni's power is becoming more and more intense because he is unable to suppress the rebellion, which makes Yang Ni more and more rampant. The tactics he proposed..."

After hesitation, Wei Xuan once

I plan to take a few days off to see the effect of Luoyang's army cutting off the main force of the rebels - anyway, the Daxing reinforcements had just been defeated for a while, and their morale was very low and they were tired from afar, so it was just the time to rest. So Wei Xuan did not rush to order the battle, but just ordered the army to step up the construction of camps, do a good job in camp defense, and prepare to be invincible first. But...,

"The guard stays behind, the guard stays behind, and there is some movement in the thief camp at the foot of the mountain!"

But no one expected that the next morning, the abnormal movements at the rebel camp at the foot of the mountain disrupted Wei Xuan's plan. After receiving the report from the sentry, Wei Xuan personally led the generals to the tent, climbed up to a high place and observed the movements in the rebel camp. As a result, Wei Xuan and others were shocked that a very large rebel convoy was slowly driving into the rebel camp. The car was full of sacks full of food. The grain bags were moved into the back camp of the rebel camp, and soon piled up into a small hill. At the same time, smoke was constantly cooking in the rebel camp, and rebel soldiers squatting on the ground and gnawing steamed buns were everywhere!

Seeing this scene, Wei Xuan was of course shocked and angry, and his generals were also whispering, all worried about the sufficient food and supplies of the main force of the rebels. However, Pang Yu shouted loudly from the side, "This is the effect of the Luoyang army cutting off the rebel's food route, this is the Luoyang army's trick to break the enemy. It's a good cut, it's a good cut!"

It was also coincidental that at this moment, the messenger sent by Fan Zigai came to Wei Xuan's army camp and brought the second letter from Fan Zigai to Wei Xuan. After reading the news that Fan Zigai had successfully robbed the grain, Wei Xuan was furious and regardless of his identity, he grabbed the messenger Luoyang to the high platform, pointed to the rebel camp at the foot of the mountain and shouted, "You have cut off Yang Ni's food route? Have you robbed Yang Ni's 20,000 stones of food? Where did these traitors' food at the foot of the mountain come from?"

The Luoyang messenger was stunned and said for a while: "How is it possible? We have clearly cut off the Yang Niqi Road? Yesterday I saw with my own eyes that Chen Jishi and the others were carrying the seized traitor military ration back to the city? Where did Yang Xuangan's traitor's traitor come from?"

"Where did Yang Ni's food come from?!" Wei Xuan was completely furious and roared: "You ask me, who will I go? What exactly do you Dongdu army do for food? Yang Ni's army transported so much food, but you will know nothing about it!"

"The guards stayed at the guard. Even if the subordinates have a hundred courages, they would not dare to lie to you!" The Luoyang messenger quickly knelt down on his knees to Wei Xuan, who was as domineering and dictatorial as Fan Zigai, and said with a sad face: "Chen Jishi and the others really robbed Yang's 20,000 hu of military rations at noon yesterday! Maybe, maybe..."

"By the way." The messenger quickly added: "Maybe our scouts found that this grain transport team was not good at our Dongdu scouts. Fan Liushou had killed dozens of scouts who reported military information and missed military information during this period. They were all useless scouts who did not find Yang's rebels and a grain transport team, which made Yang's army successfully transport grain."

"Your Dongdu army is probably not just the incompetent scouts, right? It should be all the money?!" Wei Xuan roared angrily, "Go back and tell old man Fan Zigai that he dare not attack Yang's rebels. He will do whatever he wants. He will not fight. I will fight by myself! He will order the entire army to stop strengthening the camp and start preparing for war immediately. The entire army will be dispatched tomorrow morning and go down the mountain to fight the Yang's rebels to the death!"

…………

At the same time, the rebel camps such as Yang Xuangan and Yang Xuanting were also observing the movement of Wei Xuan camp on the mountain with fear. They were all worried and nervous. Only the military advisor Li Mi looked as usual and comforted Yang Xuangan with a smile: "Don't worry, Chu Gong, don't worry, tomorrow at the latest, the old man Wei Xuan will definitely go down the mountain to fight to the decisive battle. I know the temper of Wei Xuan, the old man, is the most anxious and likes to take risks. However, in order to seize the time, even dare to walk on a dangerous road like Wu Handao. Seeing us transporting grain into the camp, can we not be in a hurry to fight with us?"

"I hope so." Yang Xuan sighed and said, "If the old thief Wei Xuan refuses to go down the mountain to fight tomorrow and continues to hold on the danger, then we will have great trouble."

After saying that, Yang Xuangan added to his stomach, "Because we will have to lose food the day after tomorrow!"

"Don't worry, the young master is sure that the old thief Wei Xuan knows it\u78

34 My clever plan." Li Mi smiled confidently and quickly added, "But Luoyang has to be more careful. The Luoyang army can actually guess that our food and grass are not much, and send troops to cut off our food route and attack us. It is difficult to guarantee that my clever plan cannot be seen. Fortunately, the scouts of the Luoyang army are not good. Our army should strengthen the scout war again and not let the two old thieves Fan Zigai and Wei Xuan contact at will."

"Okay." Yang Xuangan nodded and immediately ordered Yang Xuanting to arrange to strengthen the scout war and do all his strength to cut off the contact between the Wei Xuan army and the Luoyang defenders. Then Yang Xuangan gritted his teeth and said, "Those dog thieves in filial robes will kill my family and cut off my main food route. If this revenge is not avenged, I will not be able to relieve my hatred! When I break the old thief Wei Xuan, I will go back to the army to settle the score with them!"

"That's natural." Li Mi smiled and agreed, and then said in her heart: "However, I'm very curious about the main generals of the white-robed soldiers. I heard that it was a young man named Chen. Where did this kid come out and train a group of new recruits who have never been on the battlefield so well?"
