In the afternoon, Lin Zhengbiao received news that the Sui army's vanguard had already reached a hundred miles away, which made him extremely anxious. He could no longer wait, so he hurried to the city wall to discuss countermeasures.

On the top of the city, soldiers were busy carrying various wooden rocks. Tens of thousands of soldiers were deployed everywhere in Yuzhang City. Lu Ping was commanding craftsmen to install trenchers. At this time, soldiers shouted: "The lord is here!"

Lu Ping turned around and saw Lin Zhengbiao and more than a dozen subordinates walking quickly. Lu Ping hurriedly greeted him and bowed, "See lord!"

Lin Zhengbiao waved his hand and asked worriedly: "Is there any news?"

"Reporting to the lord, Bei Zhi is also waiting for the news. Judging from the time, the spy sent by Bei Zhi should have returned."

As soon as the words came, a rapid sound of horse hooves came from afar. Everyone hurriedly leaned over to look down at the city, and saw a soldier running towards the city gate.

"Is it him?" Lin Zhengbiao asked.

Lu Ping nodded and pretended to be puzzled, "It's him, but it should be three people, why are there only one back?"

Soon after, the cavalry entered the city and were led to the top of the city by the soldiers guarding the city. The soldiers knelt down and reported, "Xia Xun meets the lord, and the general!"

"Why are you the only one, and the other two brothers?" Lu Ping asked.

"Report to the general, we met a team of Sui army scouts in the south of Fengcheng County. Two other brothers were unfortunately killed by arrows. Bei Zhi rode two horses and ran away from the pursuit of Sui army scouts."

"Let's stop talking about this, let's talk about the situation of the Sui army. What's going on with their navy?" Lin Zhengbiao asked anxiously.

"Report to the lord, the Sui army's warships have retreated to the Yangtze River. I heard that tens of thousands of Tang troops crossed the river to attack Qichun County and Lujiang County. Hefei was in danger, and the guards asked King Qi for help."

Lin Zhengbiao slapped his forehead and said excitedly: "The sky has eyes!"

Lin Zhengbiao was ecstatic. The Tang army finally sent troops and his foundation could be saved.

Lu Ping hurriedly said: "Lord, the reason why Zhang Xuan did not go north with the navy must be to quickly capture Yuzhang City, wipe out us before returning. We can take advantage of the crisis in Jianghuai. Zhang Xuan's eagerness to withdraw his troops to fight a roundabout battle with him. Defending the city is the worst strategy. We should go away so that they can't catch up and have to withdraw their troops."

"What do you mean, let's withdraw from Yichun County in the south?"

Lu Ping shook his head, "The Sui army has 10,000 cavalry, we can't run away from the cavalry. I mean to go east!"

Lin Zhengbiao suddenly realized, "Go to Poyang County!"

In the morning, he said that he would go to Poyang County and Jiangnan just a joke, but he didn't expect that this joke would come true.

Lu Ping said slowly: "Actually, the lord's suggestion is very correct. The Sui army's warships head north, so that their main force cannot cross the Gan River. We took a cargo ship to Poyang County, but the Sui army could not chase them, so we could only retreat north to deal with the Tang army. Then we can not only recover Poyang County, but also fight to the south of the Yangtze River as the lord said. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. To the small, we can maintain our foundation, look at the big ones, and even achieve hegemony. It depends on whether the lord wants to do a big one?"

Lin Zhengbiao's body was filled with blood. An original joke gradually became reality. He seemed to have seen the day when he ascended the throne and became emperor. The blood began to boil in his blood vessels. He gave an order without hesitation, "Transfer my order, and the whole army immediately packed up and gathered by the river!"

Yuzhang County has always been the territory of the navy and the logistics supply base for the navy. Hundreds of cargo ships were quietly anchored at the Ganshui Wharf. These cargo ships were Lin Zhengwei's property, but now they belong to Lin Zhengbiao. Since the Sui army's vanguard had appeared a hundred miles away, Lin Zhengbiao's 40,000 troops were evacuated very quickly and simply. Under Lu Fei's strong request, each soldier only carried a small amount of dry food on the ship, and all the food, grass and supplies were discarded.

"We are racing against time, and the Sui army is coming soon. Don't let us become the second Meng Dan ghost!" Lu Fei shouted in a hurry.

Thinking of the fate of Meng Dangui and his army, the soldiers were all frightened. Many of them didn't even want their own belongings. They just packed up a little bit of fineness and quickly evacuated with the army.

Teams of soldiers walked towards the cargo ship, and cargo ships loaded with soldiers slowly left the dock and headed to the other side of the Ganjiang River.

At this time, Lu Fei rode to the dock and said to Lin Zhengbiao who was about to board the boat: "Lord, we can't afford the Sui army. I will burn all the food and property in the warehouse."

Lu Fei's suggestion reached Lin Zhengbiao's heart. Of course, he did not want to leave his property and food to the Sui army. Lin Zhengbiao immediately agreed to Lu Fei's plan, "General Lu can lead 3,000 troops to deal with the aftermath. Don't stay for a long time. Be careful that the Sui army will arrive at any time!"

"Don't worry, lord! The man will evacuate in time."

Lu Fei looked at his brother meaningfully again, "Second brother, I'll leave it to you."

"Don't worry, brother! You have to be careful."

Lu Fei turned his horse's head and led 3,000 soldiers from his headquarters to rush to Yuzhang County.

Lu Ping and Lin Zhengbiao boarded the big ship, and the big ship started and headed towards the other side.

A total of three cargo ships were transported by a total of 40,000 troops across the Gan River. When the hundred cargo ships returned, only the last three thousand troops led by Lu Fei were left on the west bank.

At this time, Lu Fei ordered his subordinates to order: "Go and call all the boatmen off the boat, I have something to say to them!"

The 40,000 troops crossed the Gan River and rushed all the way west. They didn't bring much food, each carrying ten kilograms of rice, which could last up to seven or eight days of consumption. However, they did not have supplies after passing the Gan River. After passing the Gan River, they were still in Yuzhang County. After walking for three days, they arrived at Yishui. After passing the Yishui, they entered Poyang County. However, they had to walk for another two days to reach Poyang County, which had grain stocks.

In other words, they will have to go for five days before they can get supplies. They actually don’t carry much food. If they relax a little, they will not eat enough. And there will be no accidents during this period, otherwise they will delay their time and make them insufficient food.

Lin Zhengbiao led the army to walk for two days. At noon that day, the soldiers were a little exhausted, and their physical overdrawn were severely overdrawn. The marching speed was like a snail crawling. Lin Zhengbiao was also exhausted. His war horse kept sniffing, and it was almost impossible.

At this time, Lu Ping stepped forward and advised: "Lord, take a break! There are still many soldiers behind him who have not followed."

"Rest in place!"

Lin Zhengbiao ordered listlessly, and he slipped down from his horse. He lay on the grass and didn't want to move. The soldiers rested on the spot. Generally, five people were in groups, each of whom contributed a handful of rice, and everyone set up a fire to cook.

Lin Zhengbiao drank a sip of water and cursed: "I can't even see a ghost after walking for two days. Where did the people die?"

A personal guard next to him said, "The lord doesn't know that this area is close to Poyang Lake and has a low terrain. Once the Yangtze River rises, the water level of Poyang Lake will also rise and it will be flooded here. Therefore, there is no population in this area. The villages are all south. You can see the villages if you walk fifty or sixty miles south."

"No wonder! How far is this place from Yishui?"

"Reporting to the lord, there are about 120 miles left."

Lin Zhengbiao was overwhelmed. Wouldn't he have to arrive tomorrow? At this time, Lin Zhengbiao looked around and disappeared, and asked, "Where has General Lu been?"

"General Lu seems to be going to pick up the brothers behind him."

"How many people are behind you who haven't kept up?"

"There are about five or six thousand people."

"A bunch of useless food!" Lin Zhengbiao cursed softly.

At this moment, a soldier pointed to the front and shouted, "Look, what is that?"

Everyone looked forward and saw dust flying in front of them, and yellow dust covered the sky and the sun, just like a sandstorm coming. At this time, the earth began to tremble. Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what happened. Suddenly, the soldiers in front began to scream in horror, and countless soldiers rushed towards this side.

"What happened?" Lin Zhengbiao asked angrily.

"Master!"

A personal soldier stumbled and shouted: "Cabin! Sui cavalry are coming!"

Lin Zhengbiao was shocked. Didn’t the Sui army be intercepted in Hexi by Ganshui? How could there be cavalry here?

"Lord, get on your horse!"

The personal guards helped Lin Zhengbiao onto the war horse. At this time, Lin Zhengbiao saw that the overwhelming cavalry were coming from the front and had already entered his army. It was obvious that the Sui army's cavalry was coming very suddenly, which caught his army off guard.

"Lord, you're here to kill the south too!"

When Lin Zhengbiao turned around, he saw a cavalry of thousands of people fighting out of the woods south. It was only two hundred steps away from him. He was the leader of a young general with silver helmet and silver armor. He held a bright silver spear with plum blossoms. The white horse was like a dragon, and the helmet was flying red tassels. The silver spear in his hand was like pear blossoms. Wherever he passed, corpses were everywhere, and they were killed by one shot. The white horse general of the Sui army saw Lin Zhengbiao and urged his horse to come to him.

Lin Zhengbiao was so scared that he turned his horse and fled. With a shout from his personal soldiers, more than a hundred people rushed forward to stop the Sui general who was coming.

This Sui general was Luo Cheng, a white horse and silver spear general. The 30,000 troops led by Zhang Xuan had already set up a net of heaven and earth here, waiting for the thief army to drill into their pockets. Luo Cheng led 3,000 cavalry to ambush in the woods south, which happened to be Lin Zhengbiao's resting place.

Luo Cheng did not know Lin Zhengbiao, but Lin Zhengbiao wore a golden helmet and exposed his extraordinary identity. Luo Cheng urged the horse to come, but was blocked by more than a hundred soldiers. He was furious and stabbed the spear left and right. He killed more than 30 people in just a moment. However, Lin Zhengbiao's personal soldiers were all fearless and refused to give in. They stopped Luo Cheng to death.
