Xing is the place where the mountains are interrupted. There are eight Xings in Taihang, which are the eight passages from Shanxi to Henan and Hebei.
Jingxing has been an important military base since ancient times and is the first thoroughfare connecting Taiyuan County to Hebei Hengshan County. Hengshan County is in the Shijiazhuang area.
Qiao Zhongkui chose to leave here, which was also arranged by Yu Juluo. Currently, Yu Juluo was stationed in Zanhuang County, and there was no problem for the time being, so he arranged for Qiao Zhongkui and Shi Huaiyi to quickly insert themselves into Zhao County from the south to the north, and they were in Mayi County.
The bandit army formed an encirclement.
Among them, Shi Huaiyi allocated 2,000 men and marched directly to Xindu County, hoping to cut off Gao Yingnian's retreat.
The three groups of rebels are led by Gao Yingnian. If they can kill each other quickly, the remaining two groups of rebels will be in chaos.
In Mayi County, 37-year-old Gao Yingnian was discussing military affairs with his staff.
The reason why they waited in Mayi and did not attack Yukuluo to the west was because they did not have siege equipment and were worried about excessive losses. Secondly, Yukura did not attack again, indicating that they were probably waiting for reinforcements.
"It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. If the government troops on the canal are mobilized to suppress us from east to west, we will be attacked from both sides. The situation will be very unfavorable for me."
The person who said this was Wang Shan, whose real name was Cui Xiumin. He pointed to the map on the ground and said: "We have lost the opportunity. Yu Juluo is too cunning and avoids the battle. Now we have been in Gaoyi for seven days and if we don't retreat,
There is a risk of being surrounded."
Gao Yingnian sighed: "It's a pity to withdraw at this time. We almost caught him at that time."
Cui Xiumin said: "The letter said that Yujuluo has mobilized the people in the city and begun to build the city. Our army has no equipment. If the losses are too heavy during the siege, there is a risk of counterattack. Although the general has ordered Hu Lushan
We must attack the canal garrison to attract the Sui army and buy us time, but now that the time has passed, our army should withdraw from Zhao County immediately and retreat to Xindu."
Another man named Guo Huai said: "The only person who is afraid of Hebei is Yu Juluo. If he can be killed, Zhao County will have it at his fingertips."
"I'm afraid the reinforcements are almost here," Fan Tong said:
"On my way from the capital, I heard that Shi Wansui's eldest son, Shi Huaiyi, had gone to join the party. King Qin made this arrangement, I'm afraid it was for Hebei. I also asked about it when I was in the capital. Although his name was not obvious, he was actually
Shangcai, and Qiao Zhongkui, had to fight against Gao Kai in seven days. They were both subordinates of the King of Qin, and the deployment of Shanxi was also arranged by the King of Qin. If we capture Zhao County, we will directly threaten Shanxi.
The current situation is not the right time to provoke King Qin."
This Fan Tong was one of Gao Yue's followers. He was born in the fourth room of the northern ancestor of the Lu family in Fan Yang. His father died at the hands of Yang Su, and his grandfather was the governor of Juzhou in the old Qi Dynasty and died at the hands of Yuwen Yong.
"Yang Ming raised his ears, Ping Hanwang had Yang Su, and destroying Tuguhun had Gao Qiu. These two people have contributed. Now that both of them are gone, how terrible can he be?" Guo Huai laughed.
"You can't say that," Gao Yingnian said in a deep voice: "There are no empty warriors under the famous reputation. Yang Ming has a very high prestige in the army. It can be seen that his reputation is not in vain. Now Yu Juluo is actively avoiding the battle, probably just to contain us and wait for him.
Reinforcements arrive and the decisive battle begins again."
After Gao Yingnian pondered for a while, he said: "It is already a risk for our army to go deep into Zhao County alone. Now that we cannot fight quickly, we need to retreat quickly. Xindu is a fortified city, so we should retreat temporarily and speed up the recruitment of people on the canal. Wait for our strength
Only then can we plan for the funeral."
"Is there no news from King Pingyang yet?" Fan Tong asked.
Gao Yingnian smiled and said: "Don't count on those people. The condition for Gao Yuan to send troops is that the defenders of Zhuo County go south. If Yuan Hongsi does not move, Goguryeo will not send troops, but their supplies will be sent through the Bohai Sea and the river."
, so now we must capture these two places as soon as possible, and Yu Juluo will not need to worry about him for the time being."
After that, Gao Yingnian stood up and said: "Send my general's order and the army will immediately return north and return to Xindu."
In Hejian County, Yang Wanshi ran to the canal, and after discussing with the hussar general Wei Fengnian, he temporarily allocated two thousand people and went straight to Hejian County. As a result, he ran into the rebel army in the Changlu County area. No one was prepared.
Start fighting.
This battle was quite tragic because the place where the two armies collided was in a mountain canyon area. Due to the terrain, whoever retreated first would be unlucky.
Yang Wanshi learned the tricks of his father Yang Su and personally supervised the troops in the rear. Anyone who retreated would be directly beheaded.
He Ruomi was killing in front, and he was killing in the back.
He is not good at suppressing thieves, but is good at killing his own people, but that's what happened. Instead, he directly defeated the Horomi tribe with inferior troops.
He Ruomi's subordinates were originally composed of a group of rioters. Once they encounter the regular army, once they are defeated, the river will burst its banks and it will be out of control.
He originally thought that the defeat was certain and his fate would be decided here. However, He Ruomi found that the Sui army's rear area was in chaos and countless rebels fled from the direction of the canal.
So he became energetic and took advantage of the chaos to lead 300 cavalry and retreat to Hejian County.
This time Yang Wanshi originally took the risk of deploying troops from the canal. First of all, he did not have the right to do so, because the current troops on the canal were all under the control of King Qi and Yan Bi, so he did not have the right to mobilize troops.
The last time the people in Hejian County were in rebellion, Yuan Hongsi was very reluctant to send troops and looked unhappy.
So Yan Pi gave Yang Wanshi a trick. If there was another civil unrest, he would be transferred from the canal, but not too many. He could only transfer the guards of your Hejian Prefecture, that is, Wei Fengnian's department.
Because everyone knows that Yang Wanshi has a strong backing, when he is questioned in the future, there will be someone in the court to speak for him, and as long as he can successfully suppress the rebellion, no one will pay too much attention to the crime of secretly deploying troops.
Seeing that He Ruomi was about to be captured by himself, there was another turmoil on the canal, so Yang Wanshi began to lead his army to suppress it, and the blood flowed like a river.
The fleeing civilians had the hardest tools in their hands, which were shovels and pickaxes, and they had no leader. How could they defeat the regular army? After several encounters, although many people still escaped, the riots were temporarily suppressed.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Yang Wanshi ordered the bodies to be counted and buried on the spot.
In this battle, about four thousand civilians died under the sword of the Sui army.
Yang Wansi sat on a stone with a gray face, looked at the direction in which He Ruomi fled, and sighed bitterly:
"What is this called? What is this called?"
Wei Fengnian stood aside and said in a deep voice: "What to do next? My people no longer dare to transfer away, but they can't take it back to Hejian County and kill He Ruomi. The prefect still can't explain to the court."
Yang Wanshi smiled bitterly and said: "It's not my fault, but in the future my crime will definitely be serious. If Zhuojun doesn't send troops and the canal can't be adjusted, why should I hit the city gate in the river with my head?"
"In the current situation, the prefect has no choice but to go south to the Bohai Sea and find Gao Sachao to see if Bohai can recruit some troops," Wei Fengnian said.
Yang Wanshi shook his head: "No, let's not say that there are no troops in the Bohai Sea. To send troops from the Bohai Sea, they must cross the canal. Once those civilians see it, they will definitely guess that something is going on in the west. I am afraid that they will run further west and increase the power of the thieves.
, that He Ruomi is the best at deceiving people, fearing that the people will be used by thieves."
Wei Fengnian said: "Then what else can the prefect do?"
"I'll just stay in Changlu County. He Ruomi won't dare to come here in the short term anyway," Yang Wanshi stood up and said, "If you do more, you will make more mistakes, if you do less, you will make less mistakes. You can't count on me to counter the rebellion, and I didn't start the trouble."
Get up."
He Ruomi's mission was to seduce Zhuojun's army to go south, but it was a pity that the other party did not take the bait.
Hu Lu's good deeds were to provide cover for Gao Yingnian, so as to attract the main force of the Sui army and provide Gao Yingnian with the opportunity to destroy Yu Juluo.
Now that the plan failed, Gao Yingnian had to retreat. As soon as he retreated, Yujuluo immediately followed up and sent troops to notify Qiao Zhongkui and Shi Huaiyi to change their strategy. The three groups of troops began to gather in the direction of Xindu County.
Gao Yingnian had also detected the danger, so he abandoned Xindu County, joined forces with Hulu Shanye, and headed straight for Bohai County.
Goguryeo's support came from the sea. He Ruomi suffered heavy losses and was no longer able to march toward the coast, so Gao Yingnian had to capture Bohai County.
The county governor, Gao Shengdao, is having the biggest headache right now because the Bohai Sea has been in chaos for a long time.
Problems have arisen in every county. Who knows that this is the hometown of the Gao family? Even though his surname is Gao, they are not the same.
The magistrate of Rao'an County was killed by the county captain. He had lost control of Rao'an. Even the capital of Yangxin County, the city was in chaos every day. If you say there is no mole, who would believe it?
Therefore, Gao Shengdao has now connected the whole family to the county government office, and no one dares to leave.
"As soon as Rao An is lost, our access to the canal will be cut off. For the current plan, I'm afraid we can only ask for help from Zhang Xutuo of Qi County," said the county prime minister Gao Chu.
In Bohai, there are too many people with high surnames, both among the nobles and among the people.
Gao Shengdao frowned and said, "I'm just afraid that Zhang Xutuo won't send troops. He looks at the four counties of Wuyang, Qinghe, Pingyuan, and Bohai alone. He can save one end, but not the other."
"Then send a few more people. As long as troops can be sent from the other side of the canal, Rao Yang can get it back soon," Gao Chu said.
Gao Sachs sighed: "The canal right now, from south to north, is already full of dangers. It's like a fire dragon being suppressed by the military government. How long it can be suppressed is still unknown. If the government soldiers are transferred, this fire will be
It is running around, and it is unpredictable where and how it will be burned, so we cannot ask for help from the canal, we can only seek ways to protect ourselves and see what the court will do next."
"Don't count on the imperial court at this time," Gao Chu raised his voice and said:
"The current situation was brought about by the imperial court. There is no news about the letter you wrote to the King of Qin. It can be seen that the two kings of Qin and Qi have regarded the canal as a decisive battleground. One is in charge of human life, and the other pretends to be deaf and mute, treating the people as
They are stupid dogs and regard all people as nothing more than grass. Neither of them can hope for anything."
Gao Shengdao frowned and said: "How are your words any different from treason? Stop saying it and be careful about being overheard."
Gao Chu suddenly stood up and said solemnly: "Dugu Gong has made great contributions to the livelihood of the people. The prefect is also a person who cares about the people. With this in mind, my humble position will not harm you. Please forgive me for offending."
After saying that, Gao Chu clapped his hands, and a group of government officials rushed into the lobby instantly.
When Goldman Sachs saw this, his face was ashen and he murmured:
