When Wei Wentong saw Luo Shixin causing a big disaster, he shouted: "Go and save the censor!"

The soldiers rushed forward and blocked several officials from the imperial edicts. In the chaos, Wei Wentong whispered to Luo Shixin in a low voice: "General Luo is about to escape, otherwise I can't explain it."

Luo Shixin wiped away his tears, hugged his master's body and turned over to the horse, shouting: "Run out with me!"

More than 500 cavalrymen and more than a dozen Zhang Xutuo's personal soldiers boarded the horse and followed Luo Shixin out of Hulao Pass. Wei Wentong stabbed himself in the thigh with a backhand sword. He half-kneeled on the ground and shouted: "Catch Luo Shixin and don't let him run away."

The drums were like thunder, and amid the shouts, hundreds of cavalrymen left.

Wei Wentong sighed long. This is the cruel reality. His military achievements in a hundred battles will never be as good as those in the officialdom. Unfortunately, the pillars and beams of the Sui Dynasty collapsed like this. He was extremely helpless and had to order people to help the official in the barracks and rest.

Luo Shixin buried Zhang Xutuo in a valley outside Hulao Pass and planted another tree as a sign. He knelt in front of the grave and cried, and then he rushed towards Beihai County with his sad cavalry.

On the Yellow River in Dongjun, more than a hundred grain transport ships were slowly heading west. This was an emergency grain transported from Beihai County to prepare to give Zhang Xutuo's army.

The food and grass were escorted by 300 soldiers, but they did not know that Zhang Xutuo's army had been defeated three days ago. Not only did Zhang Xutuo's army be defeated, but Yang Qing's army also retreated to Xingyang County, Pei Renji's eastern front army retreated to Jiyin County, and the Wagang army made a comeback and occupied all the East County.

The fleet was walking against the current, and hundreds of trainers on the shore pulled the fleet. The fleet was very slow. At this moment, more than a dozen fast ships sailed out of a river bay and rushed to the front of the ship for a moment. They blocked the fleet's way two hundred steps away.

The Sui soldiers on the fleet suddenly became nervous, and they all set their bows and arrows, aiming the tips of the arrows at the dozen uninvited guests.

At this time, the boatmen on the shore also exclaimed, and thousands of troops rushed out of the woods and blocked the way. The boatmen were so scared that they knelt down and begged for mercy. A big flag with the words "Wagang" was written on it flying towards the river wind.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Sui Army Captain who was escorting military rations quickly shouted: "Change immediately!"

"Captain, it's too late." The soldier behind shouted.

The captain turned around and saw hundreds of small boats sailing out from behind, loaded with Wagang soldiers, blocking their retreat, and dozens of large boats sailing in front of them, blocking the waterway.

At this time, a clutch came towards him, leading a young general wearing a silver helmet, holding a bright silver spear in his hand, tall and burly, and particularly heroic.

He pointed at a spear and shouted sternly: "Where is the Sui army?"

The Sui Army Captain suddenly had a glimmer of hope in his heart. He waved his hand to stop the soldiers who wanted to shoot arrows, and also said loudly: "We are the army of Qingzhou. We are transporting grain here under the order of General Zhang, and are not here to fight with you!"

This young general is Xu Shiji, the commander of the Wagang Army. In the past two days, the Wagang Army is fully restoring the control of Dongjun, and the navy has also begun to flow out again. They have hid hundreds of ships in the Yellow River waters north of Wagang Mountain. Xu Shiji led the navy into the Yellow River for the first time, but he did not expect to meet a fleet sent by Zhang Xuan to deliver food.

Xu Shiji said in surprise: "Is it Zhang Xuan's army?"

"That's right!"

Xu Shiji was really embarrassed. When the heroes came to Beijing, Zhang Xuan secretly expressed his intention to recruit him. Although he did not agree, he did not want to offend Zhang Xuan and cut off his own way of retreat.

Especially when Zhang Xuan returned to Qingzhou, he did not want to provoke this powerful enemy for the Wagang army.

Xu Shiji pondered for a moment and asked, "You are giving Zhang Xutuo food."

"this……"

The Sui Army Captain didn't know how to answer for a moment. Zhang Xutuo and the Wagang Army were fighting, and giving food to Zhang Xutuo was not a fight for the Wagang Army?

Xu Shiji saw the lieutenant's embarrassment and said lightly: "Zhang Xutuo's army has been defeated by us, and the other Sui army has also been withdrawn. You can leave too! I won't make things difficult for you, but I hope I won't let me meet you again next time."

Xu Shiji turned around and ordered: "Get out a way and let them go."

The Sui Army Captain did not expect that the other party would let them go, and quickly bowed and said, "May I ask the general's name!"

Xu Shiji smiled, "Please tell your general, Xu Shiji said hello to him."

"Thank you!"

The captain shouted: "The fleet turned around!"

More than a hundred grain transport ships slowly turned around, and they no longer needed a boatman and drove eastward along the water.

In April of the 12th year of Daye, the Wagang Army took advantage of the internal discord of the Sui army to defeat Zhang Xutuo's army. Zhang Xutuo died in grief and anger, and the situation in the Central Plains changed drastically.

Yang Guang immediately ordered Pei Renji to be the commander of Dongjun, take over Zhang Xutuo's remnants, and at the same time replaced Zhang Xutuo's position, and together with Yang Qing, he was responsible for extermination of the Wagang bandits. Yang Guang also ordered Xiao Huairang to be the supervisor of the 12 counties in Henan to monitor the every move of Zhang Xuan, Pei Renji and Yang Qing.

After Zhang Xutuo died, the Wagang army completely removed the troubles of his confidants. Zhai Rangzhi was so proud that he did not take Yang Qing and Pei Renji's army to heart and began to consider his great achievements. But at this moment, disharmonious voices began to appear inside the Wagang army.

In the Wagang Juyi Hall, Zhai Hong whispered to his brother Zhai Rang: "I haven't said these words before, because I'm afraid of affecting the soldiers of the Wagang Army and affecting the unity of the upper and lower levels. But now that Zhang Xutuo is dead, some words can be said openly. I think it's necessary for our Wagang Army to purify them."

"What does big brother mean?"

"I refer to the Guanlong nobles!"

Although Zhai Hong was not convenient to name his name, he dug out the foundation for Li Jiancheng's existence from the root.

"Dou Qing is dead, Yuan Min is also killed, Wuchuan Association is disbanded, Guanlong nobles are already finished, what influence do they have in the Sui Dynasty? But we regard them as guests of honor, let them have an army, and split our Wagang army. Does that person named Li hold you as his lord? No! He has been independent and poached many loyal brothers. I said Erlang, our Wagang army can no longer be divided, and there are no two tigers in one mountain, so that the brothers can understand that there is only one king in the Wagang army."

Zhai Rang lowered his head and said nothing. Zhai Hong knew his brother very well. He knew that his brother had been persuaded. He encouraged him again: "I heard about one thing. Xu Shiji caught the grain ship sent by Zhang Xuan to support Zhang Xutuo, and actually let the grain ship go. Does Erlang know about this?"

Zhai Rang was stunned, "When did this happen?"

"This happened yesterday. I heard that Xu Shiji reported to the second king, but the second king said lightly that he would not be an example. The matter was over. The commander of the Wagang Army, who had been in trouble for a long time, didn't know about this?"

Zhai Rang was immediately furious. Will such an important thing be left unresolved if he doesn't report it to him?

"Come Xu Shiji to see me!"

Zhai Hong knew that he had succeeded in provocation, so he didn't have to stay here anymore, so he stood up and said goodbye. Zhai Rang's anger was not gone, and his brother's words really touched him.

Yes! The Guanlong nobles have declined, so why do they still regard the Guanlong nobles as guests of honor? Especially in a mountain, the two tigers have even hurt his self-esteem. At present, the second in command is becoming increasingly powerful and can compete with him.

More importantly, he didn't know many things. It was not that the second leader deliberately concealed them, but that the matter came to him. He naturally thought it was over and believed that it was useless to report it. This made Zhai Rang really unbearable. Today, Xu Shiji's incident directly stirred up his most sensitive nerves.

Soon, Xu Shiji hurried over and bowed and said, "I'm here to see you brother!"

Zhai Rang sat at the table and drank a sip of tea, and said lukewarmly: "Sanlang, I want to ask you something."

Although Zhai Rang was very angry, Xu Shiji was a veteran of the Wagang Army after all, and he had a deep connection in the army, so he couldn't slap the table and scold him, so he had to restrain his anger.

Xu Shiji quickly smiled and said, "If you have anything to do, just ask."

"I heard that you met Zhang Xuan's grain ship. Is this happening?"

Xu Shiji's heart was thrilled. This matter really fermented. The second leader didn't care about letting go, but it was probably difficult for the master to pass on it.

"It's true?" Xu Shiji said with a tough bullet.

"Bang!"
