In the early morning, on the wall of Luokoucang, Wei Wentong was silently staring into the distance. He had just received a letter from Shan Xiong. In the letter, Shan Xiongxin told him that the emperor was killed by Yu Wen and in Jiangdu. The Great Sui Dynasty had already died in name only and advised him to surrender to Wagang and not let the brave soldiers die.

This news shocked Wei Wentong because he was the general of the Yuwen family, ranking second in the Thirteenth Taibao. Yu Wenhua and once were his master. His former master actually killed the throne, which made him feel more humiliated than others. He regretted that he had served the Yuwen family.

At this time, Deputy General Zhou Yan slowly walked to him. After a long time, he asked in a low voice: "Do we still need to guard Luokoucang?"

Wei Wentong had a firm expression and nodded slowly and said, "As long as I am the general of the Sui Dynasty for one day, I will defend the entire day and will never surrender to the Wagang bandits!"

"But we only have two thousand people left, at least half of the soldiers were injured. It would be difficult to resist the Wagang Army's massive siege. Otherwise, we would ask King Xun for help."

Wei Wentong's superior was Yang Qing, the prefect of Xingyang, who led 20,000 troops to control Xingyang County, but allowed the Wagang army to come and go in Xingyang County and also allowed the Wagang army to besiege Luokoucang. Wei Wentong had asked him for help three times, but he never sent troops to support the critical Luokoucang.

Wei Wentong smiled bitterly, "Do you think it's meaningful to ask him for help?"

Zhou Yan whispered: "He clearly colluded with the Wagang Army, and was still the prince of the Sui Dynasty. He had never seen such a shameless and honest person."

"If he hadn't had he secretly colluded with Wagang, how could Zhang Xutuo die? Forget it, let's not talk about him anymore. I'll be disgusted when I talk about him."

At this time, two cavalry scouts rushed from a distance and shouted under the city: "General, the Wagang army has retreated!"

Wei Wentong and Zhou Yan looked at each other, and both of them showed surprise. It was strange that why did the Wagang Army retreat?

Wei Wentong thought for a while and said, "Go and have a look!"

He led more than 20 soldiers out of the city. He ran towards the Wagang Army camp and crossed a low mountain ridge. The Wagang Army camp, which was originally stationed by the river, was gone and countless pieces of junk items were left behind. The ground was messy, which made Wei Wentong unable to understand. As long as the Wagang Army attacked for a few more days, he would not be able to defend Luokoucang. At this critical moment, the Wagang Army actually retreated, and his intuition told Wei Wentong that there must be something strange about it.

At this moment, the sound of drums came faintly from afar. Wei Wentong immediately turned over and looked east with his hand curtain. He saw an army of more than 10,000 people moving towards this side.

"General, it seems to be the Sui army!" a soldier shouted.

Wei Wentong also saw clearly that the leading flag was the Huanglong flag of the Sui army. He immediately said to a cavalry scout, "Go and see who is here?"

The cavalry urged the horses to run away. Soon after, they drove back and reported to Wei Wentong: "General, it was King Xun who led his army."

Wei Wentong frowned. How could it be Yang Qing coming? Is Yang Qing coming related to Wagang's withdrawal?

But no matter what, Yang Qing was his boss. Although Wei Wentong really didn't want to see him, he had to see him. He had to bite the bullet and come to Yang Qing's battle horse, knelt down on one knee and said, "I haven't brought Wei Wentong to His Highness Xun!"

Yang Qing smiled and said gently: "I know General Wei will definitely blame me for not sending troops to help."

"I dare not do it in a humble position!"

"To be honest, I have no choice. Zhai Rang personally led tens of thousands of troops to stare at me. Once I led my army out of the city, Zhai Rang would encircle my entire army, but I still sent troops, so Shan Xiongxin was afraid of being attacked from both sides and had to retreat."

Wei Wentong secretly scolded Yang Qing for being shameless. Zhai Rang was clearly in Liang County, and the 100,000 Wagang Army was besieging Luokoucang. He was staring at Xingyang County. Although the Wagang Army retreated, it definitely had nothing to do with Yang Qing, and there must be another reason.

Wei Wentong was speechless, Yang Qing laughed dryly again and asked him, "How many troops do Wei Wentong have?"

"A little over two thousand?"

"Oh! There are only two thousand people. If the Wagang army attacks again, can you guarantee that you can defend Luokoucang?"

"I can't guarantee a low position."

Yang Qing nodded, "I can't guarantee that Luokoucang is my first granary of the Sui Dynasty. Its strategic significance is extremely important and it must not fall into the hands of the thieves. I just worried that you can't defend Luokoucang, so I personally led the army to come. From now on, Luokoucang will be taken over."

"What should I do if I am a humble position?" Wei Wentong said anxiously.

Yang Qing glanced at him, "You go to guard Yangwu County! That is the gate of Xingyang County, and its strategic location is also very important. There are no defenders there, so you can take your army over and go now."

Wei Wentong couldn't say a word, and he tried to defend Luokoucang for more than a month, and most of his soldiers were killed or injured. Yang Qing snatched away his credit with just one sentence, which was extremely shameless.

Yang Qing saw the dissatisfaction in Wei Wentong's heart and his face sank, "What, are you planning to disobey my military order?"

Wei Wentong restrained his grief and anger and stood up and said, "I will leave now!"

He ignored Yang Qing and stood up and ran towards Luokoucang. Yang Qing looked at his back and snorted coldly, "I don't know what to lift!"

Half an hour later, Wei Wentong led two thousand soldiers to leave Luokoucang and headed towards Yangwu County. He also figured it out that the remaining two thousand soldiers were all struggling from the God of Death. In any case, they could no longer be killed.

Just half a day after Wei Wentong led his army to leave, the Minister of War, Wei Jin and Duan Da, the General of Right Guard, led an army of 30,000 to Luokoucang.

Yang Qing went out of the city to greet him, and bowed with a smile: "We are looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally we have come to reinforcements. Welcome Shangshu Wei and Xiangguo Duan to come to help Luokoucang."

Wei Jin is the son of Wei Xiaokuan, a famous general of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. He is about fifty years old. He is burly and thin. He has a square face and dark skin, and looks very capable.

Wei Jin was the third person in the Wei family in Jingzhao. He was upright and highly prestigious among the Guanzhong gentry. He was a Confucian general. He was not only outstanding in literary talent, but also able to lead troops to fight. He served as the Minister of the Civil Affairs Department for seven years and was called the Wei Civil Affairs Department.

Wei Jin is a very serious person. He doesn't like to joke. He has a stern face all day long, and is not very cunning. He does not hide his disgust for Yang Qing and asks coldly: "I heard that Luokoucang is stationed by Wei Wentong. Where are the others?"

Yang Qing was secretly annoyed and still pretended to be calm and said, "General Wei was the garrison of Luokoucang before the attack on Wagang. However, after the Wagang army came, I was worried that he had too few troops and could not defend Luokoucang, so I transferred him to defend Xingyang County. Luokoucang has always been my guard. I personally went to supervise the battle and led the army to retreat the Wagang army to attack countless times and kill tens of thousands of enemies. Does Secretary Wei have any questions?"

"Is that so? Why is the situation I have grasped a little different from what His Highness Xun said?"
