Less than thirty miles south of Shuning County, in a lush forest, Bi Yuewu was lying under a tree. Even now, he still can't figure out what happened.
How could the main force of the Left Army attack the Suzhou Camp?
According to the deployment, the Suzhou Battalion attacked Shuning City. Ji Shuibao led the main force of the left army to contain the Taihu Army in Xixia Mountain on the flanks. He himself led more than 2,000 troops and horses to attract part of the defenders outside the south city. The plan was
It can be said to be perfect.
With the strength of the Suzhou Battalion, if they attack Shuning City with all their strength, it will only take three days at most, and they will definitely be able to break through the city.
When the troops were divided for this purpose, he brought three days' rations with him, determined to stay outside the southern city.
When the Suzhou Battalion attacked the city, he also sent spies to pay attention to the movements in the North City. He had originally received a report that the Suzhou Battalion stormed Shuning City. The battle was fierce and he would not lose. Bi Yuewu was still full of confidence, but suddenly he got
According to reports, the left army suddenly attacked the flank of the Suzhou Battalion. The Suzhou Battalion was caught off guard and quickly withdrew its troops. The fierce fighting in Beicheng suddenly stopped in an instant.
When Bi Yuewu received the military report, he felt it was incredible.
He really didn't understand what went wrong with Wen Rengui to attack Suzhou Camp at the critical moment.
He wanted to go to Wen Rengui personally to question him, but he knew in his heart that if he really went to find Wen Rengui, he would probably fall into a trap. Since Wen Rengui attacked the Suzhou Camp, he was a traitor.
He was afraid that Wen Rengui would kill him immediately.
He was caught off guard and immediately ordered a retreat of fifteen miles. After waiting for a day, he received news that the Taihu Army had sneaked into Funiu Mountain, ambush on the mountain, and attacked the left army front and back, almost annihilating the Suzhou Battalion.
When Wen Rengui got the news, he was like thunder.
The Suzhou Battalion was completely wiped out?
How can this be?
That was the strongest soldier of the Suzhou Queen Mother Association, and how could he be annihilated by a bunch of idiots?
He was more than ten miles outside the south city, and Funiu Mountain was more than twenty miles outside the north city. They were forty miles apart. When the battle of Funiu Mountain happened, Wen Rengui had not yet understood the situation clearly and did not dare to
He acted rashly, and after he figured out what was going on, the Battle of Funiu Mountain was over.
Both the Zuo Army and the Suzhou Battalion suffered heavy casualties. The Suzhou Battalion cavalry was under heavy siege. Although they fought hard and killed countless Zuo Army soldiers, they were eventually exhausted by the nearly 10,000 Zuo Army soldiers. In the end, only a few of the 600 cavalrymen were killed.
Ten knights rushed out in a bloody battle, and almost the entire army was wiped out.
The infantry of the Suzhou Battalion suffered heavy casualties under the joint attack of the Taihu Army and the Neiku Cavalry, and were either killed or captured.
On the other hand, when the two thousand followers of the Queen Mother who came with the Suzhou Battalion realized that something was not right, many of the soldiers immediately dispersed. Some brave ones even pretended to be soldiers of the left army and actually attacked the Suzhou Battalion's cavalry.
In the Battle of Funiu Mountain, the Suzhou Battalion was defeated miserably. After receiving the news before dawn, Bi Yuewu knew that a disaster was coming, so he retreated again and hid in this dense forest.
There is a vast plain outside the south city, and the only thing that can serve as a barrier is this lush forest.
The two thousand men and horses were all infantry, and they carried three days of rations when they were divided. I thought that Shuning City would be destroyed after three days, but now it seems that this is Wen Rengui's trick. Bi lying under the tree
Yuewu's eyes were straightened, and his fists were clenched, wishing he could cut Wen Rengui into pieces with a thousand knives.
He betrayed the Queen Mother Society!
I will cut him into pieces!
But Bi Yuewu also understood that he only had 2,000 men at hand, and he could not be Wen Rengui's opponent in any case, not to mention Wen Rengui's rebellion on the battlefield.

With the help of the defenders in the city and the Taihu Army, even if Wen Rengui only had his original troops, they were all the remnants of the Qingzhou Army that came from Qingzhou. The combat effectiveness of these people was by no means comparable to that of the two thousand good men under his command.
, seeking revenge on Wen Rengui at this time is just asking for death.
The rations in hand lasted less than two days, and the continuous withdrawal of troops had already made his soldiers aware that the war situation was unfavorable. Bi Yuewu really didn't know where to go for a while.
"General Xing, there are troops coming...!" A man came to report in a hurry.
Bi Yuewu sat up suddenly and asked: "Who is it?"
"It's General Jingmu Anxing who is coming here with his troops and horses." The visitor reported, "Jingmu Anxing is outside the forest, calling for General Xing to meet him."
Bi Yuewu took the knife smoothly, with a gloomy face, and quickly walked out of the forest. When he saw Yu Wen Chengchao from a distance, anger burned in his heart, and he rushed towards Yu Wen Chengchao like a cheetah.
Yuwen Chengchao had many soldiers and horses behind him, but he stayed far behind.
"You traitor, I will kill you." Bi Yuewu rushed forward and slashed at Yu Wen Chengchao with his sword. Yu Wen Chengchao remained calm and only waited for the sword to hit him before dodging sideways. Bi Yuewu did not stop.
Without stopping, he swung the knife with his backhand and slashed at him again.
Yu Wen Chengchao did not dodge this time. Instead, he tilted his body slightly and reached out with his right hand. Not only did he easily avoid Bi Yuewu's knife, he actually grabbed Bi Yuewu's wrist.
Bi Yuewu only felt that his wrists seemed to be bound by iron hoops, and his face changed color. He was very surprised. Yu Wencheng looked indifferent and said calmly: "You are no match for me." He exerted force on his hand and pushed back.
Yuewu took a few steps back.
"Jing Muyan, you bunch of traitors.
"Bi Yuewu raised his knife and pointed it at Yuwen Chengchao: "Where is Ji Shui Leopard? Let him come out, I will chop him down."
"Jishui Bao abandoned darkness and turned to light, and has been praised by the princess." Yu Wen Chengchao put one hand behind his back and said with a faint smile: "Bi Yuewu, for the sake of our acquaintance, I will come to save you personally."
"Save me?" Bi Yuewu was startled.
Yuwen Chengchao said slowly: "I have found out your details very clearly. When you were bullied by corrupt officials and your family was ruined, you killed your enemies and were wanted by the government. You happened to meet General Zuo Shen and resolutely joined the Queen Mother Association. You
The original intention of joining the Queen Mother Association was not only to hate corrupt officials, but also because there was really no way out. Am I right?"
"so what?"
"The Suzhou Battalion has been defeated." Yuwen Chengchao looked into Bi Yuewu's eyes and said, "The Ji Shui Leopard suddenly woke up and abandoned the darkness for the light. Therefore, the Zuo Army no longer serves the Queen Mother Association. These people under your command are already alone.
"
"Even if there is only one soldier left, we will fight to the end." Bi Yuewu's eyes were filled with fire: "I am not like you who cheat and betray the Queen Mother Society."
Yuwen Chengchao smiled and said: "Fight to the end? Do you really think those people under your command will follow you to fight to the end?"
Bi Yuewu was startled, and Yu Wen Chengchao sighed: "Bi Yuewu, you have not done any evil in the years since you joined the Queen Mother Association, and you are an upright person. Therefore, the princess has an order. As long as you are willing to surrender, the princess can forget the blame. Your subordinates
If these soldiers are willing to go home, the princess will provide them with money, and if they are willing to stay, the princess will also make other arrangements to ensure that they have enough food and clothing."
"I will never surrender!"
"I know you will say that." Yuwen Chengchao smiled and said: "I will give you a chance. Since you want to fight, then go over and bring out your soldiers and horses, and we will have a bloody battle."
Bi Yuewu gritted his teeth as he looked at the dark army of soldiers and horses behind Yuwen Cheng.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
At this moment, he saw a flying horse coming from the rear army formation. Bi Yuewu frowned. Only when the man rode over did he see clearly that there was a young man on the horse.
The young man rode up to Yu Wen Chengchao, got off his horse, and asked Yu Wen Chengchao: "Master, is this Bi Yuewu?" He looked at Bi Yuewu.
"Exactly." Yuwen Cheng nodded and said to Bi Yuewu: "This is Qin Xiaoqin Shaoqing. What he said can represent the princess."
Qin Xiao led the princess into the city, fought a bloody battle alone, and captured Kui Mulang alive. This matter had already been spread, so Bi Yuewu naturally knew that he was a little surprised to see that the young man in front of him was Qin Xiao.
"If I told you that Suzhou City had been captured during the Battle of Funiu Mountain last night, you would not believe it." Qin Xiao stared at Bi Yuewu and said with a smile: "If I told you that the Queen Mother Society has been cornered,
You definitely don’t believe it either. But if I tell you that I can kill every one of your two thousand men, you can’t help but believe it.”
He was smiling, but the words he spoke sent chills down the spine.
"You can't go back to Suzhou City." Qin Xiao didn't wait for Bi Yuewu to say more, and continued: "Go south, which is Hangzhou. If you go to Hangzhou with two thousand troops, the Hangzhou camp will eat it in one bite. Now you only have no
If you have enough food for two days, I don’t need to beat you. I just need to surround you and your people will starve to death."
The corners of Bi Yuewu's eyes twitched, knowing that what Qin Xiao said was true.
Since the other party was able to wipe out the entire Suzhou camp, how much more so with the mere 2,000 people under his command?
Bi Yuewu's hand holding the knife tightened, but then relaxed.
There were no reinforcements coming to rescue him, and he didn't know where he was going. Bi Yuewu was at a loss at this moment.
"From the beginning, you were just a tool to be used." Qin Xiao said calmly: "The Jiangnan family wants to use you to stabilize their wealth in Jiangnan. They don't rise up for the sake of the people of the world. You, Bi Yuewu, can't do anything.
You are a pawn in their hands. I heard that your family was ruined by corrupt officials, and now you are being used by the Jiangnan family to lead a group of people to protect their interests. I really don't know if you are too stupid or too naive."
Bi Yuewu said angrily: "I am not serving the Qian family."
"But in fact, you are being used by them." Qin Xiao sneered: "Originally, you gathered people to cause chaos, so I didn't need to waste words with you here. But the eldest son felt that you were not a great evil person, so he begged the princess to give you
You have a chance, and the princess is generous, so she allows us to come and lobby. The opportunity has been given to you, and it is your business how you choose. If you insist on it, it will only be a sword-fight." After a pause, he sighed:
"Those people behind you are all ordinary people, with wives, children, and children. If you let them die here because of your persistence, even if you die, I am afraid you will not be able to live in peace."
Bi Yuewu couldn't help but look towards Maolin, only to see his group of people looking here blankly. Many of them didn't even have serious weapons in their hands, only holding a wooden stick.
If a team wants to have a decisive battle with its opponent, it is completely seeking death.
Yuwen Chengchao also sighed: "Bi Yuewu, after this incident, Jiangnan will change. The princess will clean up the officials and let the people live a good life." He stretched out his hand: "Follow me to see the princess, and the princess will forget the past. You
You come from a poor background, don’t bring those behind you into the abyss.”
Bi Yuewu looked up at the sky. After a long while, he sighed and said: "What they choose is their business. I will never bend the knee to the government." He threw away the big knife in his hand, turned around, and walked eastward, in the forest.
The soldiers were all at a loss, and Bi Yuewu didn't even look back. Yuwen Chengchao and Qin Xiao watched him drift away until they were no longer seen.
