The next day, Liu Jiankuan and his Yuyi spacecraft arrived early as expected. Unfortunately, the Yang Zhan family no longer had the good mood of yesterday.

At Jiading Wharf, Yang Zhan told Jing Xin with a sullen face, "Hurry up and send more manpower to Yazhou to defend, and let Hao Mengxuan be alert. In the place that has just been recovered, every inch of land must be fought for."

Lan Lan pushed him anxiously, "Let's go quickly, I don't know if Xuzhou can be saved!"

Seeing Kuan Da, he asked, "What happened to Xuzhou?"

Lan Lan flew onto the boat and shouted angrily: "We were sneak attacked by Zhang Kewang!"

It turned out that the King of Shu tried every means to reunite Yang Zhan's family, but the noise was so great that spies from the Great Western Army found out about it and reported it to Lao Long Live.

Lao Long live was overjoyed: "With such a God-given opportunity, I will definitely avenge you! Hopefully, I will give you 50,000 soldiers and rush to Xuzhou at starry night. I can capture the city of Xuzhou while he is not prepared."

Wenxiu volunteered: "Xuzhou was lost in the hands of the boy, so let the boy go with his brother!"

Zhang Xianzhong, the old man, said angrily: "The defeated general still has the nerve to ask for a fight? Let me guard Chengdu!"

Zhang Kewang agreed and led 50,000 cavalry through the hinterland of Daxi. They marched quickly in the bright moonlight and soon reached the border of Xuzhou.

Zhang Kewang is the most brave and skilled general in Zhang Xianzhong's army, and his prestige is second only to him. Although Dingguo and Nengqi are both enemies of ten thousand people, they are not as cunning as Wang Wang. Although Wenxiu is also proficient in the art of war, he is not as ruthless as Wang Wang.

During this long-distance attack, Zhang Kewang regained the same feeling as when he was fighting guerrillas. He neatly eliminated the defenders along the way and reached the gates of Xuzhou City.

Without waiting for a reaction on the city wall, he launched a devastating attack. He knew that if he could not capture Xuzhou in one fell swoop and allow Yang Zhan and his wife to arrive in time, he would be in danger.

The deputy general who defended the city was Chen Biao, who had been with Yang Zhan for more than ten years. Chen Biao acted calmly, so Lan Lan entrusted Xuzhou's defense to him. However, Zhang Kewang's attack was fierce and he would not give up until he achieved his goal.

The artillery shells on the city wall were heavily bombarded, causing heavy casualties to the Daxi army, but they could not stop Zhang Kewang's attack. In less than two hours, the flag of Shu on the top of the city was replaced by the Daxi flag.

The Daxi cavalry roared into the city, but Chen Biao could not resist the enemy, so he led his men and horses out of the city.

Zhang Kewang had already prevented him from leaving the city to join Yang Zhan and blocking the Minjiang River channel. Chen Biao had no choice but to retreat towards Zunyi.

After Yang Zhan passed Jianwei, he already knew that Xuzhou had been lost. Jian Kuan was left behind to recruit troops and horses in Jianwei, and he and Lan Lan rushed overland to join Chen Biao.

Along the way, Yang Zhan had a black face and said nothing.

Lan Lan lost Xuzhou and was already very angry. Judging from his expression, she must be blaming herself and becoming furious. She clapped her horse forward and stopped in front of Yang Zhan's horse.

Yang Zhan was unprepared and reined in the horse in a hurry. The bay-red horse couldn't stop its legs and straightened up with a long neigh.

Yang Zhan said angrily: "What are you doing?"

Lan Lan said with a cold face: "Victory and defeat are common matters for military officers, why should you let me see your face! I have my own way to take back the city I lost without bothering the general! Please go back to Meizhou!"

"

Yang Zhan couldn't laugh or cry, "This is a national event, how can we allow couples to get angry? In the eyes of a general like you, it is just the loss of a city. In the hearts of the King of Shu and me, this is a breach of trust by the people! We promised to protect them

Ping An, now they have fallen into the clutches of Zhang Xianzhong. We must fight for every inch of territory, and we must race against time. Leave it to you to take it back, how long will it take? Ten days and a half, can you do it? Stop being so impulsive!"

Lan Lan realized that she was wrong, raised her riding whip, and went ahead. Yang Zhan shook his head and sighed: "You can't change your bad temper!" and chased after him.

They finally caught up with Chen Biao in Renhuai Tucheng. Chen Biao led 20,000 Xuzhou defenders to fight and retreat, but was closely pursued by the Daxi Army. When he retreated to Renhuai, he only had more than 10,000 troops.

Seeing the general and the governor, Chen Biao cried loudly: "We can't defend the city without risking our lives. The enemy's attack is really fierce!"

Yang Zhan comforted him: "Fortunately, you brought out these people. Don't run away anymore. The farther you run away, the more ground you will lose. Don't stay in this earth city. We can't harm the people of Renhuai. Hurry up and enter the mountain canyon."

Hide, gather your team, and fight back again!"

Chen Biao said: "Our original idea was to fight and retreat in the direction of Zunyi. General Wang Xiang, who was guarding Zunyi, might send reinforcements and then counterattack back."

Lan Land said: "Did you ask him for help?"

"Please, he also replied and said he would send someone."

"You have retreated to Renhuai and he has not come, which means he will not come. When the Daxi Army destroys you, he will come out."

"Isn't General Wang Xiang our ally?"

Yang Zhandao: "He has never surrendered to the King of Shu. He only recognized the Nanming Dynasty. Unfortunately, the Hongguang Dynasty has been destroyed. Now it is the Longwu Dynasty established by the Tang King Zhu Yujian. He can't curry favor with him and has great intentions of establishing an independent dynasty. He has both

He is afraid that we will seize his territory, and he is also eager for Zhang Xianzhong to defeat us so that he can take the opportunity to expand his territory. Fortunately, you have not retreated to the ground in Zunyi. He must have made preparations there. Anyone who enters will be dead!"

Lan Lan immediately arranged for all troops to withdraw into the mountains and valleys, clearing the way for the Daxi Army to continue pursuing in the direction of Zunyi.

This is a large valley. There is a large bamboo forest at the bottom of the valley, stretching as far as the eye can see. Both sides are lush and full of miscellaneous trees.

Lan Lan had an idea and said to Yang Zhan: "We might as well fight an ambush here. Only by severely injuring the enemy can we reverse the situation and counterattack!"

Yang Zhan commended, and Lan Lan arranged his troops in formation. More than 10,000 men and horses were quietly lurking in the bushes, with their pockets tucked in, waiting for the Great Western Army.

The leader of the Daxi pursuers was Feng Shuangli, who had beaten Chen Biao along the way, which was enough. When we got here, we could see high mountains and deep valleys, bamboo forests and groves in the distance. How could we prevent the Shu army, which was being chased in a panic, from setting up an ambush?

When the time came for the Shu army to take revenge, the 20,000 troops led by Feng Shuangli were severely beaten as soon as they entered the canyon. Only a few thousand of them escaped with him.

It wouldn't have been so miserable originally, because Feng Shuangli was immediately frightened when he met Yang Zhanfu. He never dreamed that Yang Zhan was waiting for him here.

Feng Shuangli fled desperately, while Yang Zhan led his men and horses in pursuit. The situation was completely reversed, and the previously lost territory was regained in the hands of the Shu Kingdom.

Just as he was about to catch up to Xuzhou City, Yang Zhan reined in his horse. He said to Lan Lan: "When we go to hunt tigers this time, there must be jackals behind us to covet the land of Shu. Didn't you say before that you would take it back personally?

Xuzhou City? Jian Kuan must have gathered a good team in Jianwei. You can bring 10,000 horses to join him. You two brothers must recapture Xuzhou City within ten days."

"And you?"

"I will lead five thousand troops to Yongning to put an end to Wang Xiang's idea of ​​taking advantage of the situation. When you take Xuzhou City, I will return to Jiading from there."

"How can we defeat Wang Xiang with five thousand troops?"
