Chen Xiaoyi said worriedly, "Although Chen Pojun and Chen Shen did not collude with each other, Chen Pojun is not much better than Li Yuan. They are just rioters who control the government and ignore His Majesty's imperial power. (Update the latest chapter of this book) How can we help him? Isn't that helping the evil? "

"No, although Chen Pojun controls the government affairs, he is still a minister of the Great Sui Dynasty. And now the princes and grandsons from all over the world are the orthodox people. Now the Holy Emperor is single and weak in Beijing, and it is precisely when our ministers are needed to assist His Majesty and help His Majesty re-control the government affairs. If even I give up, what hope does the Great Sui Dynasty have? I believe that General Qu and other loyal and righteous ministers of the court are all in this mind."

Chen Xiaoyi thought about it and felt that this was the only way. Although there were other princes, the situation of other princes was similar. In addition, other forces were relatively weak. If the power was too weak and they could not even unify the Central Plains, then what's the use of them even if they assisted them? After thinking about it, it was a good idea to submit to Beijing. I hope that in the end, the Emperor of Sui could re-enforce the government, unify the Central Plains, and restore the prosperous times in the world.

The two agreed and summoned another credible person, and Ying Yanglang general Wang Xingben discussed it together.

After the agreement was reached, Yao Junsu summoned Wang Bianzhi, "Now Liu Wuzhou is in chaos, gathering tens of thousands of troops, and he is at a loss. Although Yanmen is strong, there are many damages when the Turks siege the city last time, and it has not been repaired yet. If Liu Ni attacks the city, he is afraid that it will be difficult to protect him. Therefore, the only way is to send troops to Xixing Pass to the entrance of Xixing Pass and rely on natural danger to resist the enemy outside Yanmen. Then send fast horses to Taiyuan and bring reinforcements to the King of Tang to help. In this way, as long as Xixing Pass persists for one or two days, the reinforcements of the King of Tang will arrive. You can immediately counterattack Mayi, completely defeat Liu Wuzhou, and recover Mayi County."

Wang Zhibing did not doubt that he was there, and immediately mobilized five thousand soldiers and horses as planned and marched quickly to the Xixing Pass. He also transferred Yingyanglang general Wang Xingben to lead 1,000 soldiers and horses to defend the loess road from Mayi to Yanmen. He ordered him to station at Tucheng to exit the east of the road.

That night, Liu Wuzhou rushed to the border of Yanmen, but in the dark, he ordered his subordinate Jin Ke to lead five thousand men to bluff their flags, set off more torches, and pretend to be a large army. However, he led 10,000 troops to go south quickly and cross the Loess Road. He was led by Wang Xingben, the guard general of Tucheng, to enter Yanmen.

Liu Wuzhou and Wang Xingben joined forces, and Wang Xingben was the leader of the front-drive. He stopped the flag and did not rush to the flag, and detoured directly behind Wang Zhibian, Xixingguan.

Chen Xiaoyi, the prefect of Yanmen, came to Xixing Pass under the banner and said that Yao was afraid that he would not have enough troops, so he ordered him to lead his troops to reinforce. Wang Zhibing did not doubt that he had him, so he opened the door and let him enter the pass. Chen Xiaoyi took the opportunity to snatch the door. Then Liu Wuzhou and Wang Xingben's army arrived and set fire to the sky.

When Liu Wu and Zhou general Jin Ke saw the fire, he immediately led 5,000 subordinates to attack Guancheng in the west to control the troops in Guanzhong.

The Xixing Pass was stained with yellow sand again. Two armies fought in the dark. Although Wang Zhibian was brave, he was outnumbered. He was also deceived by Chen Xiaoyi to open the city gate. When the battle was dawn, he gradually couldn't resist it. He snatched the door and retreated to Yanmen City.

When he returned to Yanmen City, before he could call the gate, he had already seen the changes in the flags on the city. The big Chen-word flag was already erected. { 《》.Shou.Fa} It turned out that Yao Junsu sent a school to Lingqiu Pass east of Yanmen yesterday, and used military orders to transfer the troops guarding the gate, and placed five thousand soldiers and horses from Wang Xinggong who had traveled across Feihu Pass in Hebei into Hedong. At this time, Wang Rengong had already arrived in Yanmen City before dawn.

Wang Zhibing cursed under the city, and Yao Junsu stood on the city gate tower and whispered loudly, "I am a minister of Sui, and I am willing to serve the monarch-killer Li Ni!"

The king was furious and was sieging the city, but he heard a shout of killing behind him, and a team of cavalry arrived. The first general was as black as charcoal, but he was extremely burly. The big spear in his hand was even more shiny. From a distance, he knew it was not an ordinary person.

The general of the cavalry came to lightly, and a loud roar was like thunder, "Wang family, don't be rampant, take the spear of Grandpa Yuchi, the vanguard of the family, first." But it was Yuchi Gong, the vanguard of the camp in the west, who led his troops to kill him.

Wang Zhibian was furious and flew into battle, leading his army to cover up the killing. After a few rounds of battle, he gradually felt helpless. During the battle, he suddenly heard another sound of soldiers behind him.

Looking back quickly, he saw that Liu Wuzhou, Wang Xingben and Chen Xiaoyi had arrived from the northwest direction.

There were nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses coming from the west. Liu Wuzhou and Wang Xingben were both veterans in the army. After leading the troops, they did not rush to kill the generals. The face was filled with drums and horns, and the entire team had begun to gather together hundreds of steps away.

The messengers carried red and blue flags on their backs and horses, and rode war horses in the array, constantly conveying the military orders of the generals loudly. More than 10,000 people, including the soldiers from Mayi, the servants of Liu Wuzhou, as well as the recruited rangers, soldiers, village soldiers, and Yanmen. So many soldiers gathered together were no different from those of the mob.

Wang Xingben and others only ordered a dense infantry phalanx, with more than 30 phalanxes each with a raft of thirty phalanxes, with each formation of thousands of people. At this time, there were eighteen phalanxes arranged in the northwest of Yanmen City, with shields in front of them as walls and spears as pricks, and a small number of crossbowmen archers in the center. On the left and right wings of the phalanxes, there were a small number of cavalry soldiers led by Liu Wuzhou to press the formation.

The soldiers scattered into sand, and when they gathered, they formed a army. Even the most metropolis, as long as they had enough armor, weapons and equipment, they were commanded by experienced generals, and arranged troops. Then the square formation formed by superior forces was unrivaled. The ten square formations slowly moved forward. Although the advance was slow, the momentum that had not yet been triggered made Wang Zhibian, who was fighting with the cavalry of Yuchi Gong at Yanmen City, felt heavy pressure.

Wang Zhibian was entangled by Yuchi Gong's light cavalry. Seeing so many infantry advance in line up behind him, he knew it was hard to defeat him. He looked up at the high Yanmen City and turned his eyes to a hint of loss. Without hesitation, he led his army to break south with an order.

The vanguard of Yuchi Gong's troops, the vanguard of Yuchi Gong, was always entangled behind him. Once the troops were behind, they were immediately swallowed up by these flying cavalrymen. Wang Zhibing fought and fled, but could not escape for several miles.

Suddenly, another army horse broke out by the Hutuo River in front of him. A big Chen character flashed in the wind, and a Luo character was on the side. A young general was wearing bright armor and immediately shouted. "Wang Zhibian left, Grandpa Luo is here!"

"Shoot the arrow!"

Luo Lin did not slap forward, but waved his horse's spear, and the Liaodong cavalry who were blocking him instantly fired arrows. More than a thousand crossbow arrows fell like rain, and Wang Zhibian's front army immediately fell down a large number of soldiers.

Wang Zhibing looked at the Liaodong army in front of him, which was only the remaining troops in front of him. He couldn't have the idea of ​​breaking through the past. His face was as blue as he was, and he led the army to the east with a hatred. As soon as he crossed a slope, he saw several flags waving on the hillside. The flag of the general was still named Chen. The general was named Zhang. The troops intercepted here were Sima Zhang Jin, the Liaodong army's expedition to the west camp.

Seeing Wang Zhi's army coming in a mess, Zhang Jin said nothing. The rain of arrows came like locusts.

Wang Zhibian turned his direction, but heard a series of shouts and killing sounds coming from behind him. In the high smoke and dust, there were large banners with Chen-like characters appearing and waving in the wind. Wang Zhibian sighed, and his more than 2,000 remaining soldiers had been surrounded by all sides.

Yesterday, during the day, I marched from Yanmen County to Xixing Pass. At night, it was a night of battle until dawn. After breaking through, I marched and fled to Yanmen City. However, I unexpectedly fought one after another. The soldiers under my subordinates were hungry and hungry. They were even more afraid and desperate.

More than 2,000 remaining soldiers no longer broke through and formed a large circular formation to defend on the spot.

The Liaodong Army, Yanmen and Mayi soldiers gradually surrounded them, and in the end more than 20,000 soldiers surrounded two thousand people.

Under the tall banner of Chen, Wang Rengong, with a white beard, had a rosy face, without any sign of fatigue. This was his battle to return to Hedong. So he had to fight beautifully. In fact, although Wang Zhibian was also a powerful general of the Sui Dynasty, Wang Rengong was not afraid of him.

If it weren't for the few soldiers and horses that entered Hedong, he would have wiped out all the soldiers and horses under Yanmen City. Along the way, they divided the soldiers into several units to intercept them, but they were just to minimize their casualties. On the other hand, they were also to minimize the morale of the soldiers and horses of the Wang army. After the final defeat and retreat, the soldiers and horses of the Wang army had no fighting spirit. At this time, they would not run away again.

Wang Rengong wanted this effect. For him now, although this raid on Hedong and relied on successive planning, he was able to finally capture the two counties of Mayi and Yanmen so quickly. But in terms of things, he knew that before the spring of next year, Hebei would not be likely to increase troops to Hedong again.

After fighting this battle, he had to face the counterattack and revenge of Li Yuan from Taiyuan, so he had to strengthen the strength of the Liaodong Army as soon as possible. The thousands of remaining soldiers of Wang Zhibian had already been scheduled to be incorporated by him, so he did not want to hurt others and wipe out the entire army.

"General Wang, I am all generals of the Sui Dynasty. Why are you a thief today? If General Wang can wake up, then I will definitely report to Your Highness and Your Highness Chen in the court, so that you will still be a general of the Sui Dynasty and will not lose your glory and wealth. But he is obsessed with and will devote his life to the ministers who kill the monarch. Then don't blame me for not remembering the friendship of his comrades on the battlefield in the past."

"What else can you do if you succeed and defeat the enemy?" Wang Zhibing threw down the weapons in his hand and dismounted and surrendered.

The more than 2,000 remaining soldiers formed into a round formation felt a sense of relief when they saw the general surrender. Everyone understood that if they continued to fight, they would inevitably end up with the entire army.

Seeing Wang Zhibian surrender, Wang Rengong, Liu Wuzhou, Yao Junsu and others were all relieved.

After Wang Zhibing surrendered, there was no resistance in Yanmen. Within one day, Yanmen County had all the Liaodong Army.

The Liaodong Army only sent 5,000 troops into Hedong, and within a few days it had captured the two counties of Mayi and Yanmen. Nearly 10,000 prisoners of the Tang army were annihilated. This result made everyone even forget the more than 100,000 Hedong Army in the hands of Li Yuan, Taiyuan to the south.

Yanmen, Mayi, and Liaodong Army combined troops to form the Xixing camp. Wang Rengong was the marshal, Liu Wuzhou, and Wang Xingben was the deputy commander. In other local civil affairs officials, Liu Wuzhou was appointed as the Taiyuan Remain and the prefect of Mayi, and the ambassador of Shanxi, Hedong. Yao Junsu was appointed as the deputy left-behind in Taiyuan and the deputy envoy of Shanxi Remaining. Chen Xiaoyi was also appointed as the deputy left-behind in Taiyuan and the prefect of Yanmen.

Wang Rengong was not only the marshal of the army, but also in civil affairs, he also had the position of the supervisory ambassador of Hedong and Shanxi, which also allowed him to restrain and supervise local officials such as Liu Wuzhou. In this way, although these officials in Hedong are still ulterior motives, they are at least nominally under the rule of the Beijing court controlled by the Liaodong Army.

Wang Rengong's troops were the vanguard army, and they were asked to open a bridgehead and advance to the base so that the army would arrive next year and the court would completely control Hedong.

"Everyone, I will report the victory to the court immediately. I will also ask Lord Liu, Lord Yao and Lord Chen, three parents, to post notices and notify all counties and towns. I also ask the generals to restrain our subordinates. We will only take the official land, supplies, grain and grass, open warehouses and release grain. As for the people, do not disturb them. Now everyone is a general of the court officials and local parents, so we must not let the people complain about the court. Everything in the future must be followed by the laws and regulations of the court."

Yao Junsu nodded with a smile, "Please rest assured, since we are an official, we will naturally benefit the people. Next, we will clean up the local area, rectify and rectify, appease the people, and eliminate bandits. These are all our duties, and we will do our best."

Everyone was convinced by Wang Rengong's words. Everyone was from officials, not bandits. They deeply understood that if they wanted to accomplish great things, they could not rob. At present, everyone divided their responsibilities, calmed the people, recruited soldiers, trained soldiers, and suppressed bandits.

Liu Wu fought in Mayi, Yao Junsu and Chen Xiaoyi reversed Yanmen, and the two counties of Yanmen in Mayi were lost. The news quickly reached Taiyuan, which immediately shocked Li Yuan and others. No one expected that the two counties on Taiyuan were thrown away so quickly.

Before everyone could come back to their senses, another heavier news came. The two counties of Yanmen in Mayi were lost because all this was promoted by the Liaodong Army. Even the Liaodong Army had sent veteran Wang Rengong to take charge and led 5,000 troops into Hedong. Liu Wuzhou, Yao Junsu, Chen Xiaoyi and others all dared to rebel after they surrendered to the Liaodong Army.

Li Yuan and others knew that the Liaodong army entered Hedong, so they did not dare to be careless. They began to summon troops and prepare to go north to fight with the Liaodong army and recapture the two counties of Yanmen of Mayi. But on the third day, when Li Shimin ordered 50,000 troops and horses to go north, several more news came to Taiyuan.
