Xinfeng, the former headquarters of the Sui army, has now been occupied by the Zhou army. The Sui army was defeated too quickly and many of the supplies were not taken away. They hurriedly set off a fire, but they were caught by the Zhou army without burning much.

The defeat was like a mountain of defeat. Many Sui soldiers turned against each other under the leadership of the chief general. The defeated Sui soldiers first fled to Weinan. However, the Weinan guards "always" opened the door to surrender, and the Sui infantry was beaten up in one fell swoop, and the remaining cavalry fled to Zhengcheng, Huazhou Prefecture.

However, Yanzhou cavalry attacked him outside the outskirts of Zhengcheng, and many Sui soldiers either surrendered or fled around the city.

The Sui army, which was facing Chang'an, scattered like birds and beasts within half a day. In the west of Chang'an, the Jingzhou army in the northern suburbs, saw that the situation was not good, and the Yuanzhou army left the camp and immediately withdrew its troops, and the siege of Chang'an was lifted.

In Guanzhong, no Sui army can confront the Zhou army.

"What crime do you have for abandoning the darkness and turning to the light? I should report it to the court, don't worry."

"Thank you, Shangshu Ling!"

In the big tent, a group of "lost lambs" were "complaining" to the commander of the Zhou army, Yu Wen Liang, Duke of Qi. He said that he was deceived by Yang Nimeng and got on the pirate ship. Now that he sees the king's army returning to Guanzhong again, he naturally wants to abandon the darkness and turn his merits to atone for his sins.

Yuwen Liang's full official title is Shannan Road Daxingtai Shangshu Ling. On weekdays, others call him "Daxingtai" orally, but in formal occasions, they have to call him "Shangshu Ling".

Recruiting surrender and accepting rebellion is a strategy he must adopt after entering Guanzhong. Although the fence-bearers in front of him may not be very loyal to the Great Zhou, since they are willing to "anyway", they will refuse everyone.

Recovering lost land is only the first step, and there is still a long way to go. Yuwen Liang has to make plans for the future.

"Duke Qi, the Sui army is now in panic like a loser. Do not pursue the enemy. Our army must not underestimate the enemy and advance rashly, so as not to take advantage of the other party. The current plan is to defend Chang'an and stabilize the surrounding areas."

Liang Shiyan decided to focus on stability. The current situation is beneficial to Zhou State, so there is no need to rush to expand the results of the war. As long as the situation in Chang'an and Guanzhong is stabilized, the Sui State will be unable to make a comeback.

"Mr. Hui said it makes sense. After the news of the great victory in Yu and Luo, the Sui State will inevitably be in chaos. If you attack with all your strength, you will definitely destroy it!"

"During this period, let the soldiers have a good rest, then prepare for war, and then make a concerted effort to recover the mountains and rivers!"

Yuwen Liang looked at the people in the tent, and was full of heroism. After six years of dormant, he finally waited until today. The power of Yuwen's family is recovering and he must not let others get involved in the Great Zhou Dynasty!

Everyone was discussing military affairs. A message came outside to report that Duke Zhu led his troops back and asked for a visit outside the camp. The Yanzhou general manager Dugu Kai was also accompanied by Dugu Kai.

"Let them in!"

Yuwen Liang was overjoyed, Yuwen Wen burned Guangtong Cang and said that he would surrender to Yanzhou Army to take over Wuxiang in Tongzhou and make great contributions to defeating the Sui Army. Now it is time to show off his son and nephew.

Liang Shiyan and others have heard of Yuwen Wen's achievements and know that he has made great contributions. He heard that the Duke of Zhu is only twenty-one or twenty years old, and he can't help but feel curious.

What exactly does the legendary one-legged bronze man look like?

A moment later, several people walked into the tent. The leader was young and covered in armor. He was the "nephew" of Duke Qi Yuwen Liang and Duke Zhu Yuwen Wen.

Everyone looked carefully and found that this person was nothing special. Of course, it was useless to lead troops to fight and just give birth to a good face. He had to be a good record, and this person's record was excellent.

There are only three adults left in the Yuwen clan. Duke Qi and the prince are more reliable than the original Yuwen clans. This Yuwen Huangzhou is also good. If you don’t say anything else, you can at least fight.

Liang Shiyan looked at him for a moment and was quite interested in Yuwen Erlang, who was nicknamed the one-legged bronze man. He had a good news and knew that this person had good political achievements in Huangzhou.

Although it is too early to say that he is both literary and martial, Yuwen Wen reminded him of his old friend, who was also a member of the Zhou royal family.

He looked at the two behind Yuwen Wen again. He recognized both of them. The older one was Dugu Kai, the general manager of Yanzhou, and the younger one was his eldest son Dugu Lingyun.

"The lower-ranking official Huangzhou General Manager Yuwen Wen, please refer to the Shangshu Ling!!"

"Sinner Official/Sinner Dugu Kai/Dugu Lingyun, see Shangshu Ling!"

The three of them were wearing armor, but the form of salute was different. Yuwen Wen bent down to salute, while Dugu Kai and his son wanted to kneel down, but before they could kneel down, they were ordered by Yuwen Liang to help him.

"Why are you not etiquette? Dugu General Manager abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, what is the crime?"

He walked up, patted Dugu Kai on the shoulder and laughed: "When I was in Qinzhou in the past, I and General Dugu often hunted, but I haven't seen each other for many years. I wonder if it's good now?"

"Thank you, Shangshu Ling, for your concern, everything is in good condition in the family of the criminal officials."

"What crime is not a crime? Don't mention it again!" Yu Wenliang signaled to move Hu bed from left to right, and let Dugu Kai sit down with others. "Thanks to General Dugu, he took down Wuxiang in Tongzhou and disrupted the morale of the Sui army!"

"The criminal official... the subordinate official is willing to do his best to help the royal army recover the rivers and mountains as soon as possible!"

"well!"

At that time, Dugu Xin, the Zhuguo of the Western Wei Dynasty, stationed troops in Qinzhou. Yuwen Tai's nephew, Yuwen Dao, was appointed as the governor of Qinzhou and was responsible for surveillance. Yuwen Dao's son Yuwen Liang, and Dugu Kai, the son of Dugu Xin's subordinate Dugu Xin, had some friendship.

Yuwen Liang greeted the "old acquaintance". Yuwen Wen watched silently. When he was so familiar with his uncle and nephew (father and son), there was no need to be polite. After Yuwen Liang finished the motions, he spoke:

"Thank you, thanks to the assistance of Dugu General Manager, not only got rid of the pursuers and took over Wuxiang, but also sent cavalry to harass Zhengcheng and Huayin. Dugu General Manager also assisted the officials in setting up an ambush in Huayin and intercepting the defeated Sui army."

"Okay! Dugu General Manager is loyal to his country, and I will definitely report it to the court!"

By directly endorsing his letter, Yuwen Wen fulfilled his promise, which laid the most powerful foundation for the safe landing of Dugu and his son. Yuwen Liang made a promise in front of everyone, which also relieved Dugu and his son.

He is not the kind of bad-hearted second-generation official who is a broker. He turns around and cheats when he gets the benefits. As for another great achievement, it is not the time to talk about it now.

After the military discussion ended, the generals dispersed. Dugu Kai's heart fell to the ground. While there was no one around, he pulled his son and asked, "What was going on in Xiyue Temple that day?"

"Father, haven't the child said it many times? Yang Guang pretended to be Han Xiaoye, the second son of Han Sengshou. Duke Zhu neither knew that Han Sengshou had only one son, nor did he recognize Yang Guang, the King of Jin."

"Later, when talking about the jade pendant, Yang Guang looked nervous. It was the child who came back to his senses first..."

"So you don't know if you've been trapped!"

"Ah? Who got the trap?"

"You...ah!"

Dugu Kai was sorry that his son caught King Yang Guang of Jin at the Xiyue Temple that day. He, as a father, was naturally overjoyed. With this great contribution, they had guaranteed it in the Zhou Kingdom, but after thinking about it carefully, there was something strange about it.

"Do you think Duke Zhu is a fool?"

“Not like.”

"Not like it? I think you look like it! He talked about the jade pendant for no reason, what do you think it is for?"

"for what?"

Dugu Kai poked his son's forehead with his finger: "Duke Zhu sat on Yang Guang's left side, and he must have seen the pattern of the jade pendant first. He didn't question it but added to the topic of the jade pendant. He gave this credit to you, fool!"

"Ah? Why?"

Dugu Lingyun was stunned when he heard this. When he captured Yang Guang that day, he always felt something was wrong. He just thought about it and couldn't figure it out. Now that his father said this, he couldn't help but be confused when he thought about the scene at that time.

"Why? You think with your own elm head!"

After Dugu Kai continued to move forward, he felt something was strange. Yuwen Wen asked his son to win over, but it was so obscure that it was really confusing.

Capturing the enemy king alive can be given up such great achievements. It is a waste to use it to win people's hearts. What exactly are you trying to do?

"Father, since Yang Guang has been brought here, why didn't Duke Zhu take him into the tent and show it to the public, and still ask us to keep our mouths tight?"

"Can't figure it out?"

"The boy can't figure it out."
