On the wall of Qichun County, Zhang Xuan stood at the northmost city with his hands behind his back. Looking at Qishui more than ten miles away, he could clearly see the official road on the east bank of Qishui. Although the distance was far away, with his supernatural vision, Zhang Xuan could still see Du Fuwei's army marching northward quickly on the official road.

Zhang Xuan couldn't help but smile a faint smile, and he slowly said to Fang Xuanling beside him: "Du Fuwei is a decisive and brave man, but the overall strategic situation is still far from being too far away and his wisdom is not enough. In the chaotic times of the end of the Sui Dynasty, such a person might be able to make trouble in the whole region, but now the world is peaceful and people are determined. He still wants to take the path of rebellion, so how can he not be beaten to death?"

Fang Xuanling also smiled and said, "Your Highness has a far-sighted vision, a lofty experience, and a heroes compete for hegemony. The tide of history has eliminated the heroes who have dominated one by one, but Du Fuwei still has to go against the times. The way of heaven cannot tolerate it. Apart from sacrificing his remaining body, I can't imagine what else he will end up with."

Zhang Xuan said coldly: "You can inform General Xu to prepare. Du Fuwei's road will end here, but Du Fuwei's play will continue to be performed, and it will be lively and let the monarch and ministers in Chang'an enjoy it!"

"I understand that General Xu is ready, just wait for Du Fuwei to enter his pocket."

Zhang Xuan nodded. He no longer cared about Du Fuwei's life or death. He was considering the strategic deception he had deployed. This time, he wanted to completely fall into the pit of the Eastern Expedition.

Lujiang County is located in the northeast of Qichun County, and Tong'an County is directly east. Since Tong'an County is a mountainous area to the west, transportation is very inconvenient. Even if soldiers can cross mountains and ridges, mule carts carrying food cannot pass. Therefore, Du Fuwei did not consider robbing Tong'an County, but directly killed Lujiang County.

Three days later, Du Fuwei led his army through Duozhi Mountain and entered Huoshan County, Lujiang County. The area is open, with gentle hills, but sparsely populated. The population of Lujiang County is mainly concentrated around Chaohu Lake and near Hefei in the north. Huoshan County is close to Dabie Mountain. Although the terrain is gentle, the water source is not large, so the population is relatively small.

Du Fuwei led his army northward and fled many people, but also captured many strong men, so that his troops could always remain at about 4,500. Although the troops were not large, Du Fuwei knew that as long as his army entered the Chaohu Plain, his army would quickly expand to tens of thousands.

Du Fuwei rode on his horse and looked around. He saw towering mountains in the distance, and undulating low hills near him, with forests distributed on the hills.

Although the soldiers were exhausted, Du Fuwei still wanted to go to Nanping Town in front to rest. He ordered: "Start up the marching speed and go to Nanping Town in front to rest!"

When the soldiers heard that there was a small town ahead, they all tried to get energetic and rushed forward faster.

A quarter of an hour later, thousands of teams arrived in Nanping Town, a small town with hundreds of families. Because it was located in a critical mass of transportation, the business was very prosperous, and it was quite famous in Lujiang County. But what disappointed Du Fuwei was that the town was empty and everyone ran away. Except for a dozen wild dogs, there was no living creature.

At this time, all the soldiers came to Du Fu's prestige. Although they ran away, the things seemed to be there, and maybe there was still oil and water to catch. Du Fuwei himself was exhausted. Seeing that it was almost dusk, he waved his hand and said, "Go to town to rest, and set off tomorrow morning!"

When the order was issued, thousands of soldiers rushed towards the town, kicked open the doors, rushed into the house and began to rummage the boxes and cabinets. This seemed to be the convention of this army. No one would believe Du Fuwei's promise of future generations to enjoy wealth. Most of these soldiers were gangsters. Each of them had their own thoughts, but they were similar. They grabbed wealth in the shortest possible time, especially gold and silver, and other easy to carry treasures.

Du Fuwei also knew very well that at the beginning of the uprising, satisfying the soldiers' desire for wealth was the only way to establish an army. He could only wait until he slowly controlled the army and improve military discipline. Now he could only let it go.

Du Fuwei was also exhausted. He and several personal soldiers walked into a mansion and lived in a large mansion.

At this time, behind a hill three miles away in the town, an endless cavalry had been waiting for a long time. This was the main force of 30,000 cavalry led by Xu Shiji. The three generals Luo Cheng, Sun Changle and Mai Mengcai led 10,000 cavalry each. Their target was not Du Fuwei, but the Tang army in Jiangxia. However, at this time, they used a slaughter knife to kill chickens. They wanted to wipe out Du Fuwei's army and would not allow him to rage in the Jianghuai River.

Xu Shiji immediately looked at the Nanping Town at the foot of the mountain on the hill. He could see groups of bandits looting the property of each family in the town. Many soldiers had bagged bags and caught a lot of property.

A sharp murderous intent flashed in Xu Shiji's eyes and ordered coldly: "Transfer my order, and the army will surround Nanping Town!"

Thirty thousand cavalry quickly launched, and teams of cavalry rushed west like a torrent. They rushed from all directions to Du Fuwei's army, who was immersed in the pleasure of looting.

Du Fuwei had just had supper and was about to rest and fall asleep. At this moment, a soldier stumbled and ran over, and when he entered the door, he shouted: "General, retreat quickly, the Sui cavalry are coming!"

Du Fuwei stood up, stepped forward and grabbed the soldiers who reported the news and asked, "What's going on?"

"The Sui cavalry and tens of thousands of Sui cavalry came from all directions and were about to surround us."

Du Fuwei seemed to be struck by lightning. He finally realized that he had entered the trap of the Sui army, and Li Yuan gave him a false information.

"Li Yuan harmed me!"

Du Fuwei shouted and rushed into the yard to turn over the horse. More than 20 personal soldiers also boarded the horse. Du Fuwei waved his big sword and said, "Run out with me!"

Du Fuwei no longer cared about other soldiers. It was the king to save his life first. As soon as he rushed out of the gate, he saw Han Huang riding a horse and running towards him. "General, the northwest corner has not been surrounded yet, so break through from the northwest corner!"

Du Fuwei was in a mess. He almost instinctively followed Han Huang to the northwest corner. There was a forest in the northwest corner. There was about a thousand Sui cavalrymen coming from both sides of the forest, one on the left and one on the right.

Han Huang shouted: "Run over!"

Du Fuwei whipped violently, and the war horse suddenly accelerated. He rushed into the woods as the Sui army cavalry closed. He was scared and sweated in the cold, burying his head in the woods. He didn't know how long it took, but Han Huang grabbed his war horse from behind.

The war horse finally stopped slowly, Du Fuwei calmed down a little. When he turned around, he realized that except for Han Huang, no one of the personal soldiers behind him had followed and were all stopped by the Sui cavalry, which made him feel sad.

Han Huang comforted him and said, "General, keep the green mountains here, and you are not afraid of no firewood. As long as the general is safe and sound, there will always be a chance to make a comeback."

"You said it well, but now I don't even know what to do." Du Fuwei sighed.

"Or why should the general return to Jiangxia first?" Han Huang asked tentatively.

Du Fuwei pondered for a moment and said, "Go to Hefei first. I still have some power in Lujiang County and Liyang County. That is my last hope."

Speaking of this, Du Fuwei took out a note and handed it to Han Huang, "We'd better take action separately. You go to Wujiang County, Liyang County and find a man named Jiang according to this address. He is my confidant in advance who entered Liyang County. There are 300 people on his side, so he will take all his hands to see me immediately."

"Then where should I find the general?"

Du Fuwei hesitated for a moment and said slowly: "I will hide in Siding Mountain, which is another foundation for me. If you tell him that I am in Siding Mountain, he will know how to find me."

"I understand."

Han Huang suddenly pointed to the east, "General, the Sui army is here!"

Du Fuwei was shocked and looked back quickly, but suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest. He slowly turned around and saw a dagger piercing deep into his chest. He raised his head and looked at Han Huang in surprise. Han Huang said coldly: "The reason I saved you is just to know how many forces you have hidden in Lujiang County?"

After saying that, he waved his dagger and Du Fuwei felt his neck tearing, and he knew nothing.

A quarter of an hour later, Han Huang appeared at the entrance of Nanping Town with Du Fuwei's head. At this time, Nanping Town was already in a sea of ​​fire. The Sui army set fire to the town, and the escaped thieves were shot to death by arrows, and all the unavoidable thieves were buried in the sea of ​​fire.

Han Huang had just appeared at the entrance of the town, and hundreds of Sui cavalry immediately surrounded him. They looked at the person in front of them in surprise, and there was actually a head in their hands.
