Chapter 749

Yu Wen and the army's adventure and sneak attack on Donghai County made Zhang Xuan realize that the situation in the Central Plains was about to change drastically. He changed his plan to go to Jiangdu and returned to Qingzhou immediately.

On the way, he issued several orders in succession, mobilizing a hundred thousand troops, including 30,000 cavalry, to march into the Central Plains.

Pei Xingyan led 30,000 cavalry to Xiapi County, Luo Shixin led 50,000 Qingzhou troops to march from Qi County to Dongping County, preparing to cooperate with Pei Xingyan's cavalry to attack the Wagang army in Liang County, and to the north, Wei Wentong led 10,000 troops to prepare to cross the Yellow River and enter Xingyang County, Li Jing led 10,000 troops from Ji County to enter Dong County, and directly drove the Wagang army's nest.

The Sui army set up a net of heaven and earth, and was determined to win the Central Plains, but Zhang Xuan did not forget Wang Shichong. When Zhang Xuan arrived in Lu County, he sent someone to send a letter to Wang Shichong, inviting Wang Shichong to hunt the Wagang Army together.

Although he can destroy Zhai Rang and Yu Wenji with his own strength, from a political perspective, he cannot turn against Wang Shichong now. He needs to join forces with Wang Shichong to deal with Li Yuan, rather than letting Li Yuan and Wang Shichong join forces to deal with him.

Sharing the interests of the Central Plains with Wang Shichong is a necessary political compromise.

Of course, if Wang Shichong refuses to accept his plan, the battle between the two sides will be inevitable.

The news of Yuwen Zhi and the destruction of the entire army finally reached Pengcheng County. Yu Wenhe was in great panic. He ordered his personal soldiers to block all the news and secretly executed more than a dozen soldiers who fled back to prevent the spread of the news.

At that time, Yu Wenhe led a 100,000 army to leave Jiangdu and head north. The escape and war reduced his army day by day. With the destruction of the 6,000 troops in Xiapi County, Yu Wenhe only had 13,000 troops left, including his two thousand personal soldiers.

In the temporary palace, Yu Wenhua and his imperial study were like an ant on a hot pan, paced back and forth with his hands on his back, and kept looking back and forth, "Why haven't General Shang come yet? Send someone to urge him again!"

After a while, a guard reported at the door: "Your Majesty, General Shang is here!"

Yu Wenji hurriedly said, "Let him in!"

After a moment, General Shang quickly walked into the imperial study room and knelt down on one knee to salute, "I'm going to see Your Majesty!"

Master and apprentice Shang was the confidant Taibao trained by Yuwen Shu, ranking third. At present, Yuwen Chengdu served as the General of Zuotun Guard in Luoyang. Wei Wentong surrendered to Zhang Xuan and was highly valued. The other Taibaos died or fled. Only Master and apprentice Shang followed Yu Wenji loyally. Yu Wenji also trusted him very much and named him General Longxiang and Prince Chenliu. The last more than 10,000 troops were commanded by Master and apprentice Shang.

"Do you know that General Yuwen has completely destroyed General Shang?"

Master Shang nodded silently, "I have heard of it a little."

"If I decide to fight the Wagang Army to the death, do you agree?"

"I will firmly implement your orders."

Yu Wenji sat down slowly, and after a while he was stunned, he asked again: "How much food does the army have?"

"Report to your Majesty, you can support it for about six days."

Yu Wenhua and then retreated from the Imperial Study Room, and then lowered their voices and said to Master Shang: "I plan to secretly retreat to Dongping County, but I need the general's cover. You can lead your army to attack the Wagang Army with all your strength. If you are unfortunately defeated, you can go to Juye County, Dongping County to find me. Do you still remember that manor?"

Master Shang nodded, "I visited him ten years ago, and I still remember the location of the manor."

"Okay! The news of General Yuwen's entire army being destroyed may not be blocked. You will immediately lead the army to Xiaoxian County and launch an attack after dark to cover my evacuation."

"According to the orders of humble duties, lead the army immediately, please be careful with the lord."

Master Shang bowed and left. Yu Weng made up his mind. He immediately ordered: "Come on, put on my armor."

As night fell, an army of 2,000 people escorted more than 1,000 large carts quietly left the city. Most of the more than 1,000 carts were rich from Yu Wenhua and the wealth brought from Jiangdu, as well as more than 100 concubines from Yu Wenhua and the civil and military ministers and hundreds of other palace maids and eunuchs, Yu Wenhua didn't care about it and let them die.

Yu Wenji was wearing a golden helmet and a golden armor, and rode on a white tall horse. He turned around and took a last look at Pengcheng County under the night sky. He then rushed the horse to run north without any nostalgia surrounded by dozens of cavalrymen.

Just one hour after Yu Wen and his team left, a 30,000-strong Sui cavalry rushed to Pengcheng County. Pei Xingyan ordered the army to enter Pengcheng County to rest, and he himself led 10,000 cavalry to continue chasing Yu Wencheng.

The large chariot escorted by Yu Wenji's army rushed north along the Heshui River. Since the war horses of the army turned into military rations, two thousand soldiers could only follow the chariots, which made the marching speed of the team very slow. The soldiers were very silent. No one spoke, and only the rustling footsteps and the sound of wheels of the chariots were heard.

These two thousand soldiers were dead soldiers left by Yuwen Shu. They were very loyal to Yu Wen Shu. They enjoyed the best treatment, without fighting, had sufficient military rations and excellent equipment. However, at this time, Yu Wen Shu had reached the end of his journey, and the morale of this army also became very sluggish.

Yu Wenji's destination is a large manor located in Juye County, Dongping County. It is also a large manor left by Yu Wenshu. It covers an area of ​​5,000 hectares and is close to Juyeze. There are tens of thousands of stones of grain and hundreds of marquis in the manor. At present, Yu Wenji's brother Yu Wenji hid in that manor with his wife and children. Yu Wenji's wife is Princess Nanyang, the daughter of former emperor Yang Guang. She did not follow her mother to the Northern Sui Dynasty, but hid in Dongping County with her husband and son.

The team had just walked less than thirty miles, and suddenly there was a rumbling sound of thunder behind him. The earth was trembling. When the soldiers looked back, everyone was so scared that they were out of their minds. They saw the dust in the night sky in the south covering the sky and a black line ran towards this side under the rolling clouds.

Yu Wenhuaji's face was pale and his voice was trembling, saying, "Stop it! Hold it!"

At this time, the concubines in the carts screamed in fear, and a soldier shouted: "Your Majesty, here we are here!"

When Yu Wenhe turned around, he was almost scared to fall off his war horse. Hundreds of steps away, a cavalry of more than 2,000 people was running towards him, with a momentum like thunder. The cavalry waving their sharp swords and sharp spears, and powerful murderous aura swept over.

While the soldiers were panic, Yu Wenji suddenly pulled his war horse and ran westward, with dozens of cavalry guards following closely. This action caught the soldiers off guard, and he abandoned the army and the chariot.

The lord's escape made the soldiers desperate, and he ran away one after another, but they could not compare with the speed of the cavalry. The Sui army's cavalry was divided into two groups, half of which controlled the carriage and the coachman, and half led by Pei Xingyan to chase and kill the fleeing soldiers.

The deserter was caught up by the cavalry for a moment, and the war horses were rushing wildly. The cavalry waved their swords and chopped and killed without mercy. Yu Wenji's sailors fell one after another. For a moment, blood splattered everywhere, people's heads rolled, and screams resounded throughout the field.

Yu Wenji's mount is one of Yang Guang's collection of BMWs, called Red Arrow, which is a top-quality sweat-blooded BMW. It runs like a red arrow with extremely fast speed. It rushed out more than 300 steps in an instant and left the guards behind far away.

But Yu Wenji only ran less than two miles away. Two ambushed cavalry suddenly broke out in front, and a hundred cavalrymen in front surrounded him. His golden helmet and golden armor were the most conspicuous target.

Another cavalry intercepted Yu Wenji's cavalry guards. The guards were killed one after another, and in the end, only Yu Wenji and one person were left. Dozens of war spears pointed at his body from front, back and left and right. Yu Wenji could no longer bear the extreme fright. His eyes turned dark and he fell off the ground and fainted.

At this time, Pei Xingyan urged his horse to come. He glanced at Yu Wenji on the ground and asked, "What's wrong with him?"

A school captain reported: "General, we did not kill him, he fainted from scaring."

"Useless stuff!"

Pei Xingyan cursed, then ordered: "Strip off his armor and throw it into the prison cart, and escort it to Zhongdu with the big cart."

Pei Xingyan looked at Yu Wenhua and BMW. Although he was very moved, such a treasure must be presented to the King of Qi. He had to bear the pain of giving up his love and ordered the soldiers to take the Red Arrow BMW away.

At this time, Pei Xingyan had already received news that Yu Wen and the last army sent were surrounded by the Wagang army in Xiao County. Both sides were fighting fiercely in Xiao County, but the Wagang army was very likely to divide their troops to chase Yu Wenji, and he had to deal with it immediately.

Pei Xingyan sent three thousand cavalry to escort the big chariot and Yu Wenhua to Lujun. He led the seven thousand cavalry to turn to another branch in the southeast direction. The branch was very narrow and the cavalry could not let go of the Mercedes. They had to slow down, but they ran for only a few miles and came towards them.

The leader's scout reported to Pei Xingyan: "General, the Wagang Army's pursuit has reached twenty miles away, about 10,000 people are running towards us along the official road."

Pei Xingyan looked at the surrounding terrain and saw a forest of several miles a mile away, less than fifty steps from the official road. He ordered: "Tell me my order, the army will go to the forest to ambush the pursuit of the Wagang Army!"
