In Yang Xuangan's camp, Yang Xuangan was sitting alone in the tent reading a book. At this time, a soldier rushed to the scene, "Reported to Duke Chu, Yuwen Shu's army was coming to the camp, fifteen miles away."

"It's really here!"

Yang Xuangan smiled. As he expected, he immediately stood up and ordered: "Tell me my order, and the three armies lined up!"

With the sound of the war drums of dong! dong! dong!, groups of fully armed soldiers rushed out of the camp. They were already ready and were waiting for the sound of the gathering snare drums to ring.

A hundred thousand troops quickly lined up on the field in front of the camp. To the east was the dark Ba ​​River. It flowed quietly to the north under the night sky. On the west bank of the Ba River, the entire field was illuminated by torches as daytime, and the hundred thousand troops stretched for several miles.

Yang Xuangan immediately waited quietly for the arrival of Yuwen Shu's army in front of the team. At this time, the sound of snare drums coming from afar, a black army came from afar, and also lit torches, like a giant dragon burning on its head. Gradually, the giant dragon shortened and gathered, and formed a formation two miles away from Yang Xuangan's army.

This is the so-called bluff. Both sides understand in their hearts that it is impossible to fight. A large-scale army like this is just a random killing. It is hard to distinguish between the enemy and the final victory or defeat.

The two sides confronted quietly on the field, waiting for the dawn to come. After an hour, the east sky turned white and the light was clear. The moment of the war was about to come.

At this time, Yang Xuangan rode out his horse, waved his long spear and shouted: "Yuwen Shu came out and answered!"

Yuwen Shu did not come out. At this time, he didn't want to pay attention to Yang Xuangan. He was standing under the banner and was closely observing Yang Xuangan's army. What surprised him was that this army was different from the mob two years ago. Its armor was bright and its military appearance was neat. There was no situation where swords, guns, sticks and sticks were mixed together.

When Yang Xuan felt that Yuwen Shu had not come out, he sneered. He turned around and waved his hand, "Pull it out!"

I saw a wooden frame coming out of the army, two meters high, with a wooden wheel below, slowly pushing forward. A person was tied in a large shape on the wooden frame, with a man on the upper body, which was Yu Wenji. A horizontal knife was pressed on his neck. As long as the other party had a slight movement, he would cut it down with one knife.

"Father, save me!" Yu Wenji shouted.

Yuwen Shu's eyes suddenly widened. Hasn't his son been released? Why is it still in Yang Xuangan's hands? He was very anxious and didn't care about revealing the secret. He urged the horse to rush out and pointed at Yang Xuangan and cursed: "Yang Xuangan, you are traitorous and dare to deceive me!"

Yang Xuangan laughed, "Yuwen Shu, it's just your fault that you are careless. I have already let him go, but your people don't like him. In order to ensure the safety of the son, I had to invite him back again."

Yuwen Shu was so angry that her eyes were blew out of fire, and she said with hatred: "What do you want?"

Yang Xuangan waved his long spear and said coldly: "It's very simple. Ask your army to put down your weapons, I will release the son, otherwise the head of others will fall to the ground!"

Yuwen Shu turned around and looked at the army, with fifty thousand eyes staring at him. A general's eyes were full of suspicion. At this time, Yuwen Shu was like a beast forced into a corner, choosing between obedience and dying struggle.

"Yang Xuangan, don't bully people too much!" Yuwen Shu roared hysterically.

Yang Xuangan took a few steps back and waved his hand. The soldier on the wooden frame raised his sword high and pointed it at Yu Wenji's neck. Yu Wenji was so scared that he cried, "Don't kill me! Father, save the child!"

Yuwen Shu stared at his son's crying face. He seemed to have grown ten years old all of a sudden. He turned around and ordered: "Tell the whole army to put down his weapons."

The commander's orders were passed one after another, and some soldiers were thrown to the ground. More than a dozen Yuwen Shu's confidant generals shouted orders, "Drop down the weapons!"

More and more soldiers put down their weapons, and the morale of Yuwen Shu's army was sluggish. When Yang Xuan saw the opportunity approached, he turned around and shouted: "Kill!"

Yang Xuangan waited for this opportunity for two years. The 100,000 troops suddenly launched and rushed towards Yuwen Shu's army. Yang Xuangan took the lead, and the war horses rushed towards Yuwen Shu like lightning. "Old thief, come with your life!"

Yuwen Shu was so scared that he turned around and fled. Although Yuwen Shu had been fighting on the battlefield for many years, he was an old man over 60 years old after all. He was a little slow. He could hear the sound of assassination behind him. He was extremely panicked and pulled the knife backwards. Yang Xuangan took a long spear and flew his horizontal sword into the sky. His arms were strong and he shouted loudly, "Kill!"

The sharp spear tip pierced his armor and pierced into Yuwen Shu's back heart. The spear tip came out from his chest. Yuwen Shu screamed and died immediately. A generation of treacherous hero died, dead at Yang Xuangan's hands.

Yang Xuangan raised Yuwen Shu's body high and shouted, "Yuwen Shu has been given the title!"

His army shouted, "Yuwen Shu is dead! Yuwen Shu is dead!"

The commander was killed, the morale of the Sui army was dispersed, and they had no intention of resisting. At this time, Yang Xuanjing led the army from behind, and the two armies attacked each other. The Sui army was defeated. Yang Xuangan's army chased for dozens of miles, and more than 20,000 people were killed. The corpses were everywhere, and countless soldiers knelt on the ground to surrender.

Yang Xuangan was extremely proud and laughed to the sky, but at this moment, a Sui army suddenly came from behind. The leading general was the veteran Qu Tutong. He led 20,000 troops to support Yuwen Shu, and ambushed the troops in the forest several miles away behind Yang Xuangan's army.

He experienced the old Taoist, and when he saw that Yuwen Shu had been threatened, he endured the battle until Yuwen Shu was killed and the Sui army was defeated. Yang Xuangan's rear army had no chance of defense and suddenly came out.

Yang Xuangan's rear army still had more than 20,000 people. They were already immersed in the joy of victory at this time and had no defense. Qu Tutong led his army to come from behind. Yang Xuangan's rear army was caught off guard and was in chaos. After only a moment of persistence, the army collapsed. Yang Xuangan fled east in panic, and Qu Tutong led his army to chase them all the way. Yang Xuangan's army, who had just won a complete victory, could not organize resistance and was killed and defeated. They rushed to escape, trampled on each other, and suffered heavy casualties.

In order to redeem his sins, Chen Ling, the general of Yuwen Shu, led thousands of defeated troops to counterattack. In cooperation with Qu Tutong's charge, the two armies strangled Yang Xuangan's army, killing Yang Xuangan's army, causing Yang Xuangan's army to accumulate corpses, and blood stained the Ba River. Yang Xuangan was extremely frightened and fled back to Chang'an City with only thousands of remaining troops.

Qu Tutong did not know Yang Xuangan's military strength in Chang'an. He had a small force and insufficient military rations, so he did not dare to stay in Guanzhong for a long time, so he led his army to retreat to Pujin Pass.

In this battle, Yang Xuangan won first and then lost, and the 150,000 army lost more than 80,000 people. However, the Sui army also suffered heavy casualties. The commander Yuwen Shu was killed and the 50,000 army was almost wiped out. Qu Tutong rectified his troops afterwards. Yuwen Shu's remnants only recovered less than 10,000 people, and the rest of the army either died or took the opportunity to flee.

Qu Tutong later learned that there were only 20,000 defenders in Chang'an City, which made him lose a great opportunity to retake Chang'an City. This made him quite upset. However, the opportunity was lost and irreversible. Qu Tutong, on the one hand, defended Pujin Pass, and on the other hand, sent people to Luoyang for help. At the same time, he asked the rescued Yu Wenhua and Jiangdu to report the news, and Yuwen Shu was killed, which was a major event.

Mayi County. The prefect Wang Rengong has been in a good mood these days. He received an imperial edict and ordered him to serve as the Tongguan of Ye County before the end of January. Although Tongguan is nominally half a level lower than the prefect, Tongguan has the right to transfer troops to suppress bandits, and all people, money and property are allocated by him, and in fact, the prefect has been undermined.

He was able to leave the frontier and re-enter the Central Plains, and had a place to use his skills. This made Wang Rengong feel particularly happy. After calculating that he was only half a month away from taking office, Wang Rengong began to pack up and prepare to set off.

That morning, Wang Rengong came to the county government office to handle official duties as usual and was preparing to submit documents. When he heard the noise and roars from a distance, Wang Rengong frowned. He walked a few steps, hid behind the corner and looked up at the front of the county government office to observe the situation.

I saw that there were crowds of people in front of the county yamen. Tens of thousands of hungry people who came from all over Mayi County were crowded in front of the county yamen, begging the prefect to release grain for disaster relief. Last year, the 400,000 Turkic troops crossed the border. The grain fields in Mayi County were destroyed and the severe drought was severe. The grain harvest in Mayi County was reduced by 70%. Now, when the weather was in trouble, famine began to spread, and hungry people rushed into Shanyang County and begged for relief from the government.

Wang Rengong was confused that there were more than 30,000 stones of food in the granary, but the emperor had a strict order. After the transfer order was issued and within one month before handing over with the new prefect, food was not allowed to be released for disaster relief. This was to prevent the use of disaster relief to cover up corruption.

"Prince, what should I do?" asked a follower.

Wang Rengong should not release food at this time. In three days, the new prefect will arrive. Let the new prefect do disaster relief. He does not want to cause trouble at this time, which will anger the emperor and destroy the opportunity that he had finally arrived.

In fact, Wang Rengong just wanted to go back to the county government office to get a document. He thought about it and could climb over the wall from his residence to the county government office. He turned around and left, "Come with me!"

More than a dozen follower guards returned to the mansion and walked to the door. He glanced at the guard strangely and asked, "Where is Liu Wuzhou, didn't you see him in the morning? Where did others go?"

The guards all shook their heads, wondering where Liu Zhengwei went? Wang Rengong was unintentionally asking, turned around and entered the mansion, walked quickly towards the back house. When he walked into the back house, there was a short wall more than one person in front of him, which separated the county yamen and the county yamen into two. More than a dozen soldiers ran to take the ladder. At this time, Wang Rengong saw a red skirt flashing at the door of his inner house.

He was surprised in his heart and quickly walked into the yard gate. When he turned his head, he saw a little maid hiding at the door, looking at him in horror.

Wang Rengong squatted down in front of the little maid, looked at her for a while, and asked her: "What's wrong?"

The little maid was extremely frightened and stammered, unable to say a word. Suddenly, a low laughter came from the room. It was the laughter of her concubine Atuan. Wang Rengong suddenly turned his head, looked into the room, slowly stood up, and walked towards the room step by step. The little maid turned her head and ran away in fear.

Wang Rengong had already heard A Tuan's moans coming from the room, "Good man...... use force!"

His face began to swell into purple, and his woman was actually stealing a man. Wang Rengong poked the paper on the door and looked into the room. His lungs almost exploded and kicked the door open.

On the bed where he had just slept, the personal captain Liu Wuzhou pressed against a woman naked, and the woman was also shining with brilliance, covering her upper and lower boundlessness. She was his concubine Atuan.

"Go to die!"

Wang Rengong roared angrily, drew his sword and stabbed Liu Wuzhou.
