?Southwest of the battlefield, several troops were rescuing Yang Su, who was covered in blood. He was lying on the ground and his pussy had been removed. The left eye was bleeding. He had initially wrapped the wound with gauze, and the other eye was glaring.

"Where is the imperial chariot? Have you captured it!"

"Lord, the imperial chariot has not been captured yet."

"Again attack again, you can't even attack these people. Don't you feel ashamed!!"

A deputy general came and saw Yang Su like this and stopped talking. He looked back at the dust in the south. He still said with a thorn in his mouth: "General Manager! The Zhou army is here, and the cavalry that is heading south is retreating!"

Yang Su clenched his fists when he heard this. He struggled to get up, shook off the hand that was supported by others, looked at Nanfang with his complete right eye, his face turned red and white, and finally turned ashen.

There were two groups of cavalry in the dust, one running in front and the other, as if the one behind was chasing the cavalry in front. He could barely see the flag of the cavalry in the back, and the other party was holding the banner of the word "Zhou".

After looking at the direction of the imperial chariot again, the Zhou people were still stubbornly guarding the imperial chariot. Yang Su looked at his situation unwillingly, opened his mouth slightly, and said from his teeth: "Retreat, order to retreat immediately!!"

Damn it, it's only a little bit short of it, and it's all in vain!

The sound of trumpets sounded, and the Sui cavalry began to retreat, and tried to bring their injured comrades and gallop towards the west. After a while, cavalry came to the south, one in front and one behind, divided into two groups.

The first group was the Sui cavalry who had gone south to pursue the war. They had no intention of fighting, so they bypassed the crowd on the official road and fled north with their own large troops. The latter group of cavalry arrived later, but they were the cavalry of the Zhou State. Most of them continued to pursue, and some came to the imperial chariot.

Looking at the corpses everywhere, the cavalry were speechless, and the corpses scattered in the wilderness were thought to be the one who fled when they were attacked and was chased and killed by the Sui cavalry. This pitiful person can only make people feel pitiful.

The carriages lined up on the official road were covered with corpses. They were the fallen soldiers of the imperial guards, palace guards, palace maids, eunuchs and servants who resisted with carriages.

When we set out from Shaheyi, fresh lives have now turned into cold corpses, which makes people feel terrible when they see them.

Yuchi Jing looked at the miserable scene in front of him and felt a little guilty. His first task was to protect the emperor's safety, so when the Sui army was about to attack the team, he led the emperor to retreat south without hesitation.

In fact, it was just escaping, but it didn't matter. The emperor's safety was the top priority. In contrast, the people in the guard of honor could only act as the grass that blocked the Sui army.

Fortunately, Yuchi Jing led the emperor to retreat south. After the speed increased, the pursuers of the Sui army could not catch up immediately. They walked south along the official road and soon arrived at the banks of Mingshui, leaving half of them to guard the stone bridge to death. Yuchi Jing took the emperor to safely enter Yiyang City.

Yi Yang was the prefecture of Mingzhou, and the troops were garrisoned. When the governor learned that the emperor was attacked by the emperor's ceremonial war, he immediately sent troops north to reinforce. Yuchi Jing settled the emperor and also led the guards to the north.

The Sui cavalry on the north side of Mingshui Bridge were repelled, and they chased them all the way north. They thought the guard of honor had been killed, but they did not expect that many people would survive.

What surprised Yuchi Jing was that the people in the imperial chariot could actually withstand the attack of the Sui army until now. They were all covered in blood, holding various things as weapons, and even stones.

The outer circle of the imperial chariot was covered with corpses, among which the bodies of Sui soldiers wearing armor were particularly eye-catching. Yuchi Jing looked around and found the corpses of many war horses. Many Sui soldiers were caught in arrows on their faces and fell to the ground.

There was another large area of ​​corpses on the open space on the south side of the imperial chariot. Many "blood people" were picking up the corpses, some were carrying people, and some were saving people, looking like they were surviving after a disaster.

Fierce battle, a bloody battle, and the guard of honor left behind were mostly unarmed ordinary people. Yuchi Jing could not imagine how these people survived the raid of the Sui army.

By the way, could it be him...

Yuchi Jing thought of someone, who volunteered to stay and organize defense to buy time for the emperor's retreat. Thinking of the scene at that time, Yuchi Jing had to admire the man's courage.

A group of people came up at the imperial chariot, some of whom were soldiers of the imperial guards and several guards. Yuchi Jing asked about the casualties and sent his men to treat the injured, but what he was most concerned about was Yuwen Wen, the Duke of Xiyang County who stayed to organize defense, and he didn't know how his life and death was.

If that is really the case, although it was a murderous move by the Sui army, the court always had to give Shannan some explanations, and this alone would cause headaches. Yuchi Jing also hoped that the other party would be fine for personal reasons.

It's a good idea to be able to take such responsibility!

A man holding a bow approached. Yuchi Jing remembered that the other party was Yuwen Wen's guard leader, and he didn't remember what his surname was. He saw that his right hand was bleeding, and the bow string was covered with blood. It was supposed to be caused by hard work to pull the bow.

Yuchi Jing asked Yuwen Wen how it was. Zhang Dingfa led him to the imperial chariot and saw everyone busy around. Yuchi Jing stepped forward and took a breath:

A cloth curtain was covered on the ground, and a bloody man lay on the cloth curtain, with his head and hair spreading, his face... covered with blood and wounds everywhere on his body. The man was unconscious, and he looked exactly like Yuwen Wen.

"Quickly, send it back to Yiyang for treatment!"

......

In a yard in Yiyang City, the doctor was in the room for emergency treatment for Yuwen Wen. The Dazhou clan is now unconscious and has many wounds all over his body covered in blood. It looks very scary, but after examination, the doctor found that there were not many fatal injuries.

The arrow wound on the chest is the most dangerous, and it is also a blessing that it is not deeper. Otherwise, it will stab the center of the body. Even if Bian Que is alive, Hua Tuo will be helpless. He pulled the arrow without treatment, which is God's blessing that there will be no major bleeding.

With the help of his assistant, the doctor was busy applying medicine to Yuwen Wen to stop bleeding and treating the wound. Several small stoves were set up outside the room, and several people were busy by the stove. Some were boiling medicine and boiling water, and some people came out of the room. The basin she was carrying was covered with blood-stained gauze.

Seeing these bloody gauze, Yuwen Qiankeng felt dizzy. The eunuch beside him quickly supported him, but he waved his arm and was about to rush inside. He was stopped by the eunuch and begged: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Please stay. Your Majesty is a wealthy person, so you can't enter that ** place!"

"What ** place! Get out of here! Let me go out of here!"

"Your Majesty! Xiyang Gong will definitely be fine! It will definitely be fine!"

Yuwen Qiankeng was stopped by someone and could not move forward. He was very upset. Looking at the small stove lined up next to the room, listening to the movements in the room, his thoughts couldn't help but return to not long ago.

"Your Majesty, the Sui Army is here to kill you. Please leave quickly!"

"Duke Lu, take His Majesty away quickly, I'll cut off the rear!"

"Your Majesty, please leave first, I will cut off the rear for you!"

The words Yuwen Wen said echoed in Yuwen Gankeng's ears, and the other party's firm expression appeared in his mind. The sudden enemy army was about to arrive, but Yuwen Wen could think about him first.

When the Sui army attacked, Yuwen Gankeng sat in the imperial chariot and napped. If Yuwen Wen hadn't suddenly pulled him out of the car, Yuwen Gankeng wouldn't have known that the disaster was about to come.

Yuwen Gankeng had never fought a war, which does not mean that he didn't know anything. He was protected by Yuchi Jing and rode on a horse. As soon as he got up, he looked back and saw that the Sui army had rushed into the queue. He could not leave as long as he was a moment later.

Even so, the Sui army pursued the troops relentlessly, and they rushed all the way and even gradually chased them. If it weren't for the closeness to Yiyang City and the bridge beside Mingshui in the north of the city, if they weren't for the fact that they were close to Yiyang City, there happened to be a bridge beside Mingshui in the north of the city, if they continued to chase them like this, they might be caught up.

Yuwen Gankeng, who survived the disaster, was worried that his clan Yuwen Wen would come. He knew that Yuwen Wen did not leave together but stayed, in order to organize manpower defense, attract the attention of the Sui army, and buy time for his escape.

Then what? Under the attack of the Sui cavalry, he was unable to get involved in the chaos! But even so, he wanted to protect me!

As expected, only your own relatives will truly consider your own safety!!!

When Yuwen Gankeng thought of this, he clenched his fists. He felt the care of his relatives from Yuwen Wen. At that time, if his father and brother were there, it would definitely be like this!

Xiyang Gong, you must survive, there is no need to worry!

He thought of the other two: Zhou Faming and Tian Yilong, these two often came to the palace to tell stories to him, so they kept it in mind. When he came to the yard just now, he saw these two again.

They were all covered in scars and were covered in blood, especially Zhou Faming. Although he had washed his face and changed into clothes, the smell of blood was still very strong. Yu Wen Gankeng felt nauseous when he smelled the smell.

But he was very happy because these two men fought bloody battles with the Sui army like Yu Wen. Thanks to these people's efforts to fight back, they finally repelled the Sui army's attack.

He had never been to the scene, but when he heard the eunuch's understatement, he knew that there were heavy casualties. In addition to responding to Yuwen Wen's call to gather in the imperial chariot, most of the others died under the iron hoof of the Sui army.

'You are all my loyal ministers, so you must give me a reward!' Yuwen Gankeng thought so, but when he saw the door open, the doctor walked out of the room.

"What's the situation with Duke Xiyang? He won't be in trouble, right!"

"Your Majesty, the wound of Xiyang County Duke has been treated without any serious damage."

"Then can I go in and talk to him?"

"Your Majesty, the Duke of Xiyang County is now in a coma and has signs of fever."

"What should I do! You must save his life!"

"Your Majesty, don't worry, your Majesty, you will definitely keep the Duke of Xiyang County safe."

......

In early September, the Emperor of Zhou was attacked fifteen miles north of Yiyang, Mingzhou Prefecture. The attacker was the Sui army that crossed the Taihang Mountains eastward.

In order to cover the retreat of the emperor, Yuwen Wen, the governor of Bazhou, led his entourage to fight bloody battles, attracting most of the Sui army to attack. He led his troops to fight with the Sui army. He was injured in several arrows and was seriously injured and unconscious.

The escorts suffered heavy casualties and corpses were everywhere. Fortunately, the emperor was escorted by the Lord of the Left Palace and Duke of Lu Yuchi Jing, and arrived safely at Yiyang City and escaped the disaster.

This news caused an uproar in Yecheng, and the same bad news came immediately: Jingxing was lost, and the Sui army that attacked the emperor entered the territory of Shandong through this route, and Zhending City had been lost.

But this was not over yet. Emergency military information came one after another. The Sui army traveled through military capital Xing and Puyin Xing and launched an attack on the Youzhou General Administration Office. The Jicheng, Youzhou Prefecture, was besieged by tens of thousands of Sui troops, and the situation was very critical.

The Sui State's surprise attack hit the Zhou State like a stick. Prime Minister Yuchi Jiong summoned an emergency military discussion and mobilized the army to go north to rescue Youzhou, besieged Zhending and block Jingxing Pass.

At the same time, the defense of the remaining roads of Taihang Mountain was strengthened, and the General Administration of Heyang, Xuzhou and Bozhou were ordered to prepare for war.

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that the Sui State's offensive is not only limited to the Youzhou direction, but also a strategy of making a move to the east and attacking the west. The main attack direction should be in the Henan area.
