Su Waner, who was sitting in the imperial study, looked very unhappy.
She calculated that in order to break the situation, the civilian thieves would probably invade Muyun Prefecture. However, she could not figure out that Zuo Shiren, who was a hundred and eighty thousand miles away from Shu Prefecture, actually cooperated with Shu Prefecture and led 50,000 naval troops to Pandu.
Go up the river.
Zhang Qi, the old general of Zhuliang, died in battle. For her, there was not much emotional change. At most, it was a pity that tens of thousands of Cangzhou elites were intercepted. The army was defeated and fewer than 20,000 people fled back to Cangzhou.
"Queen, what should we do?" Yuan An no longer cared about arresting Gong E, and paced anxiously in the imperial study.
"Your Majesty, don't be anxious. The Cangzhou River bank has been fortified, and Zuo Shiren cannot attack."
"What about Muyun Prefecture? I've heard that the commoner thief has defeated Tong Du's 30,000 navy, and even Tong Du was killed in the battle. He led troops into Mu Yun Prefecture and surrounded Yun Du.
city!"
"It's not a pity that most of those 30,000 people are composed of rebel troops." Su Waner paused and raised her gorgeous face, "However, what your Majesty just said is not wrong. We should send a reinforcement army."
"But Queen... I have less than 50,000 troops left in Cangzhou. What if I send them out and the King of Lingzhou suddenly attacks?"
"Your Majesty is wrong." Su Waner stood up, put a dragon robe on Yuan An, and gently shook his hand, "There are many aristocratic families in Cangzhou, and almost every aristocratic family has many soldiers. Your Majesty can draw up a plan
It is decreed that these aristocratic families gather their soldiers, at least 30,000 in number, to fight against the national calamity together."
"Together we will face the national crisis..."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I, Cangzhou, have now reached a critical stage of survival."
Yuan An was still unsure. If it weren't for these royalist families, he wouldn't be where he is today. He didn't want to touch the interests of these families.
"Your Majesty, Zhang Qi, the head of the Zhang family, sacrificed his life for the country, which can be an example. Your Majesty said in the imperial edict that whoever has the greatest contribution in suppressing the rebellion will be the one to fill the vacancy of general in the pillar. In addition,
Then promote him to the title of Marquis."
"Queen, I, I need to think about it..."
Su Waner sighed, "Your Majesty, it won't be long before Yuncheng is broken and Zuo Shiren and the civilian thieves attack Cangzhou, your Majesty's empire will be robbed by the rebels."
"They dare!" Yuan An looked angry and gritted his teeth, "Just as the queen said, my Yuan family has reached a critical stage of survival. I will personally issue an order to let these aristocratic families enter the palace and urge them to
They sent troops to attack the civilian thieves! Together they faced the national calamity!"
"Your Majesty is indeed a wise king, the master of the great resurgence of the great era."
Hearing this sentence, Yuan An became happy again.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, reinforcements from Liangzhou will be here soon."
…
It did not go as Demon Empress Su wished. At this moment, Dong Wen was riding on his horse and looked around, his teeth itching with hatred for a moment.
In the past, Shuzhou would have dared not stay away from Yuguan. But this time, the Shuzhou army that sent out troops to intercept actually blocked the buffer zone 200 miles away from Yuguan.
Using various guerrilla tactics, they continued to drag down the Liangzhou army.
"Who is the general?" Dong Wen said in a cold voice.
"My lord, the general from Shuzhou, Wen, is still stationed in Bailu County. I heard that he is a new general who has defected to Shuzhou. His name seems to be Chao Yi."
"Chao's surname? The wolf tribe of Yanmen Beiguan?"
"Probably so."
Dong Wen frowned. After wiping out the Bingzhou royal family, such die-hard loyalists to the Bingzhou king were afraid of raising tigers, so he had no intention of recruiting them under his command, so he sent people to eliminate them early.
But for some reason, the thousands of wolf tribe troops at Yanmen North Pass seemed to have escaped from Bingzhou safely.
"Send the order and inform each battalion to choose flat terrain and march carefully."
Liangqi's focus is on charging and fighting. The flatter the terrain, the greater the advantage Liangqi can exert.
…
In a wasteland outside Shuzhou, Chao Yi, dressed in armor, silently looked at the map in his hand. His Shu king said that this mission was very simple and difficult.
All it takes is to stop Liangzhou's reinforcements, which is a great achievement. Of course, this interception must not let the Liang people's army get too close to Shuzhou.
"Brother Chai, what do you think?"
Chai Zong, who was beside him, was silent and spoke.
"After these 30,000 Liangqi, the Liang people should have other armies. My lord has said that the area near Shuzhou is more hostile than Liangzhou."
"This is natural. If not for this, Liangzhou would not surrender to the Cangzhou royal family."
"It's just an alliance of two dogs. You and I can work together and turn the world upside down."
After speaking, Chai Zong and Chao Yi, each riding on a horse, looked at each other and clasped their fists. From ancient times to the present, heroes cherish heroes, which has always been the most passionate scene.
Just like them, just like their subordinates, the Shu soldiers Langying, Ke people, and Xiaer rebels were also following behind.
"Xiao Xiaoyao takes it for granted."
In the mist of dusk, the Shu army of more than 20,000 people was shrouded in twilight after only a short while.
The wind and sand howled endlessly. With the chill of the night, it seemed to be getting more and more violent.
They did not march at night. After letting the army set up camp, Dong Wen raised his head, his face becoming increasingly gloomy. Along the way, the speed of the march was constantly slowed down by the Shu people.
Anyone who is not a fool should understand by now that the purpose of these Shu people is to isolate the entire Liangzhou from the war in Muyun Province.
"Dong Yuan, hurry up and mobilize 20,000 Liangqi."
A middle-aged general stepped out and nodded immediately. His name was Dong Yuan. After the situation in Liangzhou changed, he was the first to surrender to Dong Wen as a member of his own clan, and was appreciated. Some time ago, he had been serving as a counselor in Liangzhou City.
After San Zhang died, Dong Wen transferred him to his side, probably because there were not enough generals.
Only after Dong Yuan left did Dong Wen raise his head coldly and look around at the sky around him.
If there is nothing wrong, relying on the cover of night, those damn Shu people will most likely come to steal the camp and tire out the troops.
Not long after, when Dong Yuan mobilized the army, Dong Wen got on his horse and ran towards the north with 20,000 light cavalry.
What he wanted to do was very simple. The cavalry was mobile and the terrain was flat. After a circuitous route to the south, when the Shu people approached the camp, they rushed into formation and killed them.
…
"Pull the string fully and shoot the fire arrow!"
Riding a war horse, Chao Yi led the wolf camp, spread out the array in a row, and shot fire arrows all over the sky towards the Liang army camp.
Like falling meteors, they were constantly thrown to the Liangren camp. Even though the accuracy was not good enough, the dense fire arrows fell and eventually started a fire.
The noise and the sound of running water could be heard for a while. Outside the Liangren camp, the soldiers who were shooting back with their bows also raised their bows in anger and fired volleys in the direction of the Wolf camp.
Everyone has casualties.
Chao Yi did not hesitate at all, and led the Wolf Camp to prepare to withdraw his troops.
But at this moment, the rumble of horse hooves suddenly came from all around. Under the dim night, as far as the eye could see, there were figures on horseback everywhere, approaching to surround them.
"Retreat to the south." Chao Yi frowned.
He had always understood that the King of Liangzhou was not a fool. When he was tired of dealing with it, he would definitely find a way to completely surround and kill their intercepted Shu army.
But no matter what, his original mission was to fight to the death. Of course, even if he stole the camp this time, he had already left a way out.
Raising the white tassel gun, Chao Yi's face showed a cold light.
A general from Liangzhou, riding a fast horse, roared at the Pegasus and hurriedly raised his knife to chop him.
"Sichuan dog, accept your fate!"
Chao Yi turned around in anger, with a "clang" sound from his white tassel spear, blocking the enemy's machete, and then stretched out his other hand to pick up the Liangzhou general who had delivered the goods to his door, holding it high with one hand, and then crushed his throat.
, throw it forward hard.
The corpses thrown out also tripped two or three Liang people riding down.
"Wolf Camp, come with me to break out of the encirclement and suppression!"
Thousands of people riding in the Shuzhou Wolf Camp took advantage of the enemy's encirclement to attack Chao Yi.
Under the darkness of night, two armies, one in front and one behind, were killed in the white moonlight under the pavement and in the swirling dust, until people fell off their horses and screamed in agony.
