Let’s look back at the situation in Luoyang. Yang Xuangan stayed in Jinyong City, Luokoucang and Hulao Pass still played some role. Qu Tutong, the main army of the Great Sui Dynasty led by Huer and Yuwen Shu are no longer elite or capable of fighting. It is not easy to break through the Yellow River and take down natural dangers like Hulao Pass. No matter what, you have to waste some time in siege - at least you have to waste some time preparing ships and siege weapons?

What's even more troublesome is that the rebels who guard these dangerously important places have no way to retreat. Whether it is Gu Jue and Han Shiye who guard Hulao Pass, Zheng Yan who guards Luokoucang, Zhou Zhong and Pei Shuang who guards Jinyong City, they all understand one thing very well, that is, even if they put down their weapons and surrender, Emperor Yang of Sui would definitely not spare them. In order to clear the suspicion, they must kill them and save their other children with their own hands! So even when Yang Xuangan was regarded as an abandoned son, these rebel generals who unfortunately stood in the wrong team could only bite the bullet and execute the orders left by Yang Xuangan, and stick to the dangerously important places on the battlefield in Luoyang, so as to buy time for Yang Xuangan's main force to capture Guanzhong, and then retreat to Guanzhong to enjoy happiness after Yang Xuangan succeeds.

In this way, the main forces of the Sui Dynasty led by Qu Tutong and Lai Huer and others had to waste some precious time anyway. Among them, Qu Tutong and Yuwen Shu were better, at least with the restraint of the Eastern Capital defenders. The rebels in Jinyong City did not dare to send troops to block their team from crossing the river, so that after Qu Tutong had recruited enough ferries, he easily crossed the Yellow River in Mengjin and quickly approached the city of Jinyong City. Relying on Fan Zigai's attack weapons prepared for the rain, he immediately launched an siege. Then the main force of the Zuo Yigu led by Yuwen Shu easily crossed the river and met with Qu Tutong.

Lai Hu'er was in a bad luck. Not only did he get a tired army without a chance to rest, but he also had too far from Luoyang to get help from Fan Zigai's materials. He could only gather supplies on the spot to temporarily build siege weapons. These alone would waste four days. Then, although the soldiers of the Great Sui Right Guard under Lai Hu'er took only half of the day to capture Hulao Pass, he was very regretful that he could not wipe out the Guanzhong defenders. The rebel general Gu Jue and Han Shiye successfully escaped from Guancheng together and led a few defeated generals to Luokoucang to meet with the rebel Zheng Yan and Zhou Zhong's troops.

Almost at the same time, Pei Hongce's real nephew Pei Shuang could not withstand the fierce attacks of Qu Tutong and Yuwen Shu. Without hope of running west, Pei Shuang simply fled to Luokoucang with a few close friends, and met with brothers and brothers in distress such as Zheng Yan, Zhou Zhong and Han Shiyan, and temporarily survived.

Logically speaking, since Hulao Pass and Jinyong City have been taken down, Qu Tutong, Yuwen Shu and Lai Huer and other powerful Sui people can ignore Luokou Cang for the time being and go westward to pursue the main force of the rebels. But at this moment, the playboys such as Zheng Yan, Zhou Zhong, Pei Shuang and Han Shiyan did something extremely magical - they actually sent envoys to contact Fan Zigai and asked Fan Zigai to pardon their lives as a condition in exchange for their peaceful transfer to Luokou Cang. Otherwise, they would burn Luokou Cang with fire and die together with Luokou Cang, the most important granary of the Sui Dynasty!

By the way, the importance of Luokou Warehouse to the Sui Dynasty. There are 3,000 grain bins in Luokou Warehouse, each of which can store 8,000 dan of grain. In history, Luokou Warehouse suffered several disasters. First, Yang Xuangan took the Luokou Warehouse and opened the warehouse to release grain, allowing the people to take grain, and the self-army to use it at will. Then Zhai Rang and Li Mi took the Luokou Warehouse again, opened the warehouse to release grain again, allowing hundreds of thousands of people to take grain at will. Then Wang Shichong ruined the Luokou Warehouse again, and supported his main army for nearly two years with the remaining grain reserves of Luokou Warehouse - but even so, the archaeological teams in later generations were in \u6

1000

More than 500,000 kilograms of carbonized millet were found in the ruins of d1b. The amount of grain stored in Luokou Cang is so terrifying that it is naturally self-evident.

Of course, Fan Zigai would not agree to the requests of playboys such as Zheng Yan and Pei Shuang - he did not dare to agree. None of the great Sui heroes such as Qu Tutong, Yuwen Shu and Lai Huer dared to make this decision for Emperor Yang of Sui. At the same time, in order to be on the safe side, they did not give Zheng Yan and other powerful children time to burn grain crazy. The main forces of the Sui army had to immediately move to Luokou Cang, wasting an already extremely precious time to regain Luokou Cang and collect the remnants of the rebels hiding in the Cang City.

Fortunately, the distance between Luokoucang was not too far. It was only a daytime to send troops from Hulao Pass and Jinyong City. At the same time, the twenty-mile wall of Cangcheng also gave the Sui army enough room for breakthrough. From the departure to the end of the battle, the three Sui army easily broke through Luokoucang, wiped out the rebels in Cangcheng, and captured the powerful children of Zheng Yan and Pei Shuang who threatened to burn the granary but did not have any substantial actions, completely clearing the remnants of the rebels around Luoyang.

The Great Sui army flag was floating in the huge Cang City. The soldiers of the Great Sui army were running back and forth, searching and killing rebel soldiers in Cang City. Before the war was completely over, the three commanders of the Sui army, Qu Tutong, Yuwen Shu and Lai Hu'er, had gathered in the Guancheng official hall that had just been recaptured, and interrogated the newly captured playboys such as Zheng Yan, Zhou Zhong and Han Shiyan.

The result of the meeting was of course Zheng Yan, Zhou Zhong, Han Shiyan and other playboys immediately knelt on their knees, kowtowing desperately, and begging several uncles to spare their lives. Qu Tutong and Yuwen Shu, who had no scum in the family, were not involved in their affairs and were relaxed and relaxed. Lai Hu'er had a dark face and shouted: "Where is that little beast Laiyuan? Who knows!"

"I know, I know!" Pei Shuang kowtowed quickly and cried, "Report to uncle Lai Yuan brothers, he went to Guanzhong with Yang Ni's main force. Uncle Lai, my nephew is also a meritorious report and expose.\u5

2000

427? When you arrive in front of the emperor, uncle, you must ask for love for your nephew. Your nephew is confused, and your nephew is confused for a moment. Then he got on the Yang rebel thief's ship!"

Of course, Lai Hu'er ignored Pei Shuang's crying and begging, but he punched it hard on the table and roared with a dark face: "Little beast! When I catch you, I will see how I deal with you! If I don't cut off your head with my own hands and go to the emperor to apologize, I will be sorry to the emperor and the Sui court!"

Qu Tutong, Yuwen Shu and Lai Hu'er had no big grudges, and naturally they had no intention of putting in the wrong. They advised together: "Duke Rong, don't be so angry. It's not worth it to get angry. This time, Yang Ni rebelled, and there were dozens of officials who were bullied by Yang Ni. The son was just one of them. He was neither the main culprit nor did he do much evil. His Majesty the Emperor would definitely not involve you. He might also give him a favor and reduce his crimes to the son."

"Yes, the emperor is wise and wise, and never implicates innocent people. You should be willing to let go of a hundred things," said Duke Rong, the deputy and friend of the Weiwei Shaoqing, who was standing behind Yuwen Shu, and also comforted him, pointing to Zheng Yan and said, "For example, Zheng Yan, the traitor of Dali Temple, Zheng Yanguo, was not implicated by him. After receiving this rebellion of Zheng Yan, the rebel traitor of Zheng Yan, the emperor, not only did not pursue the responsibility of Zheng Siqing's involvement, but also refused Zheng Siqing's voluntary resignation and continued to stay in the camp to listen. The emperor's wise and wise man is here, what else can Duke Rong be worried about?"

The law did not blame the public. This time, there were more than 40 powerful children who followed Yang Xuangan's rebellion. Even Pei Ju, the great hero in front of Emperor Yang of Sui, was implicated. In the deepest part of his heart, Lai Hu'er was not too worried about being cheated by his unlucky son, but Lai Hu'er had to say anything about it. After slamming the table hard, Lai Hu'er shouted again: "The more wise and kind the Emperor is, the more we ministers are, we should serve the emperor diligently and cautiously. This time, I not only have to apologize for the crime, but also ask Your Majesty to kill all these traitors, and not keep any of them!"

"Uncle, please spare my life! Uncle, please spare my life! I'm just confused for a while, just confused for a while!" Several playboys screamed and cried louder. The sad and miserable expression of slaughtering pigs was like even the people with a heart of iron. Unfortunately, the few people present were colder and harder than iron, and they completely ignored this.

While crying, several people hurried in outside the hall. The leader was a medium-sized person in his forties, but Chen Yingliang had a distant uncle Pei Hongce who had been bent for seventeen or eighteen times. Then, without waiting for Pei Hongce to talk to the three fierce men of the Sui Dynasty, Pei Shuang, who was tied up like a rice dumpling, had already struggled to kowtow to Pei Hongce, and cried loudly: "Uncle, I know I'm wrong. Uncle, you save me, you save me, you're yours..."

"Get out!" Pei Hongce kicked over the nephew of the unfilial clan without hesitation, bowed to Yuwen Shu and others and said, "Three generals, Fan Liushou sent officials to inform you. The news I just received was that on the morning of two days ago, the Daxing army led by the Wei Xuanwei Liushou was defeated by the main force of the Yang rebels on the battlefield in Mianchi. The reinforcements sent by our eastern capital Luoyang were also defeated and forced to retreat to Hongnong. The army of the Daxing Zuowu Guard was almost wiped out, and only a few troops retreated to the Mianchi City to defend."

Although they had no hope for Wei Xuan to stop Yang Xuangan's main force, after learning the news, they came to Hu'er, Yuwen Shu and Qu Tutong's three generals still looked gloomy. At that moment, Yuwen Shu, who was most favored by Emperor Yang of Sui, spoke, "How could he be defeated so quickly? He didn't even defend it for a day? What's the situation where the Wei stayed behind now, and what about the main force of Yang's rebels?"

"Wei Liuwang was stubborn and insisted on a decisive battle with Yang's rebels, but he was easily defeated by the main force of the rebels with a large number of powers."

Pei Hongce kicked away again and came to him to kowtow and beg for mercy. Then he replied bitterly: "Retreat the Tonggong doctor in Mianchi City, Huo Siwan, good news. The guard should be protected by Liu Changgong's team of our right martial guard in Dongdu. The specific situation has not been confirmed yet. Only Yang Xuangan is rebellious.

2000

d3c personally led a large number of main teams to pursue the attack. Huswanshan and Pang Yu and others were still on the battlefield in Mianchi because the rebels were still on the battlefield and the road was blocked. They didn't send a fast horse to the east to war until the morning of yesterday. So we also received news of the Wei Liushou's defeat again late last night."

Yuwen Shu's face became even more ugly. After a little calculation, Yuwen Shu turned to Huer and Qu Tutong and said, "Two generals, military situation is like fire. I think we can't delay any more. We should leave a small number of troops to clean the battlefield. We should immediately gather the troops of the left and right guards and the right Wuhou. We must withdraw back to Luoyang today and rest for a night. We will immediately advance westward to pursue Yang Ni's main force tomorrow. What do the two generals think?"

"General Yuwen said very much, so it should be like this." Lai Huer and Qu Tutong nodded together and replied.

Neither Qu Tutong nor Lai Hu'er had any objection, so Yuwen Shu immediately issued an order, deciding to leave only two thousand left guard infantrymen to clean up the battlefield of Luokoucang. The other troops immediately gathered to set off. The three army's messengers clasped their fists and sang promises together, and immediately ran out to pass on the order.

Taking advantage of the military assembly, Pei Hongce finally turned his attention to the scum among the powerful and powerful children of the Sui army captured by the Sui army, and then stayed on Han Shiye, who was almost forty years old. He wanted to ask, but immediately warned himself, "Calm down, let Hu'er and Yuwen Shu are here, and speak directly. If you are not careful, you will backfire and in turn create trouble."

After a little more calculation, Pei Hongce simply made a slight attack, turned to Yuwen Shu, Lai Huer and others and bowed and said, "The three generals don't have to worry too much. To be honest, Chen Yingliang, the secretary of the lower official Zanzhi Mansion, has led the National Army to Hongnong in advance. With Chen Yingliang's boy, I thought that Yang's rebels would not be so easy to break into Guanzhong."

"What does Duke Li mean?" Yuwen Shu and Lai Huer, who had never heard of Chen Yingliang's name, were a little curious.

"Chen Yingliang? The National Army?" Qu Tutong, who was the first to return to the battlefield in Luoyang, had some impression and asked, "Duke Li, the National Army should be the white-robed soldier who was very god-produced in the ranks of traits? And Chen Yingliang should also be the legendary little Chen Qingzhi in the ranks of traits? I heard that this kid once led a few hundred people to raid Yang Nitun's grain land among tens of thousands of traits. After burning Yang Nitun's grain, he broke out of the siege without any damage. Really, fake? Is this kid so powerful?"

"What? He led hundreds of people to raid the granary among tens of thousands of enemy troops, and then broke out of the siege without any injuries?" Yuwen Shu and Lai Hu'er were both shocked and exclaimed: "Is it possible? Even the elites under our command could not do this?"

"Duke Li, are you sure you are not joking?" Yuwen Shu's deputy Yun Dingxing screamed in the loudest, "Are they all the heavenly soldiers and generals? Can they fight so beautifully?"

"The three generals, Yun Shaoqing, are they true or false? You'd better ask these scums of the Great Sui Dynasty." Pei Hongce pointed to Han Shiyan and Pei Shuang and smiled and said, "They are all parties involved, and they know the situation at that time best. If they say it out of their mouths, you should be able to believe it more easily."

The extremely curious Yuwen Shu and Lai Huer and others couldn't wait to ask. In order to please Yuwen Shu and others, several playboys tried their best to make a living, and of course they rushed to report on their own initiative, and truthfully introduced the situation of the service army they knew to Yuwen Shu and others. Of course, there were many exaggerated and boasted, and they praised Chen Yingliang and the service army as rare in the sky and no underground. Among them, Han Shiye also said: "Although the criminals were far away in Xingyang at that time and had never seen Xiao Chen Qingzhi, they also knew that this Xiao Chen Qingzhi was extremely powerful. They always fought with a few enemies, and they beat Yang's rebels to the point of being disguised. They also knew that Yang Xuangan's rebels did not dare to besiege Mianchi at that time, because Xiao Chen Qingzhi led the white-robed soldiers to burn his food and grass. Yang Xuangan's rebels were afraid of losing their food, so they were forced to retreat to Jinyong City..."

"Just call me Xiao Chen Qingzhi? It seems that you have never heard of Chen Yingliang's name before." Pei Hongce, who had been paying attention to Han Shiye's expression, nodded slightly, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and said intimately: "Okay! Although I don't know why, we Wenxi Pei can support Yingliang's virtuous nephew\uff0

15c2

c Since the death of General Pei Heng of Zuo Jinwu, we heard that Pei has never had a capable person in the army. After finally having a Pei Renji, he has not been promoted. It is time to support a reliable general immediately."

Pei Hongce was still secretly happy in his heart, but Yuwen Shu and others were already overjoyed. Yuwen Shu slapped the table and said, "Okay! I didn't expect that such young heroes would emerge in the Dongdu army! It seems that we are pursuing Yang Xuangan's thieves this time, so we should not have to worry too much about the thieves taking the lead in capturing Tongguan!"

"It should be like this." Pei Hongce had some confidence in his distant nephew and answered confidently: "It's not that the servant boasted. As long as the servant's distant nephew can retreat to Tongguan first, Yang Xuangan's rebel traitors can have more troops, and Ying Liang's virtuous nephew can use Tongguan natural danger to block the rebels' progress in the west, and persist until the three generals lead their troops to surround Yang's rebel traits!"

"Duke Li, if your nephew really can persevere until we surround the Yang rebels!" Yuwen Shu slapped the table again without hesitation and shouted: "Then you nephew should not bend your talent in your Zanzhi Mansion, come to my Zuo Yigu! I will protect him as a tiger-toothed general!"

"If my nephew likes the Right Wu Hou Guard, I can also recommend him as the Huya Lang General." Qu Tutong smiled slowly and said: "Leading four regiments of troops is like entering a deserted land among tens of thousands of rebels. Among the important generals of the Right Wu Hou, no one can do this."

"A seventeen-year-old boy is really that powerful?" Lai Hu'er was still a little suspicious and said, "If Chen Yingliang's record is true, then he is worthy of a tiger-fanged general when he enters my right guard."

Yun Dingxing, who was ambitious, was also very moved. Unfortunately, he was only a civil servant now. Even if he was moved, he could not ask Pei Hongce for someone. He could only smile and say, "In this way, we can pin our hopes on Duke Li's nephew. As long as he can block Yang Ni's main force's advance westward and persist until our army sieges the main force of the rebels, then needless to say, the first official to submit a letter to ask His Majesty for him!"

Pei Hongce smiled and bowed to thank him, and said in his heart: "Nephew, my uncle has blown away the bull for you. The rest depends on your own. As long as you can block Yang Nixijin, your glorious future will be guaranteed for you!"
