The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 309 A Blockbuster

An army of 5000 was assembled quickly. Zhu Can left 5000 people to guard Nanyang City, and personally led 5000 people into Xiyang County. More than [-] troops followed the official road where the Tang army escaped. With the luggage discarded by the Tang army, Zhu Can felt that the complete annihilation of the Tang army was just around the corner.

"They only have 3 people, and our [-] army can wipe them out in one fell swoop! Let me hunt them down."

Tang Jun threw away his armor and armor, and lured Zhu Can to chase after him. This made Zhu Can's army extremely excited. At dusk, they had already chased and killed them to the vicinity of Junyang County.

In the Danshui, a convoy of hundreds of people was walking slowly, and a captain at the head hurriedly urged.

"Captain, why hasn't Zhu Can come?" a soldier asked in a low voice.

"Who knows, anyway, we can just walk slowly in the river according to the plan." The captain said nonchalantly.

"Here."

When the convoy slowly reached the opposite bank, there was a shout of killing from behind. After the captain turned his head and looked around, he saw tens of thousands of troops suddenly coming from the east, and Zhu Can in the front kept roaring loudly. Said: "Kill!!!"

"Captain, the one who sent you to death is here"

"Give up all supplies, withdraw!" The captain chopped off a carriage with a knife, a box rolled to the ground and money was scattered all over the ground, and then led everyone westward.

"My lord, it's all money." At this time, a lieutenant shouted excitedly, and saw hundreds of boxes opened one by one, and there were either gold or boxes of coins inside.

Zhu Can's eyes showed surprise, he grabbed a gold bar, took a hard bite, and laughed loudly: "This time I got rich."

"My lord, there are more than a hundred boxes full of money here. Why are there so few guards, and they flee without fighting. Aren't they afraid of military law?" A deputy general suddenly worried.

Zhu Can immediately realized that this was indeed a problem, but after looking at the more than one hundred boxes of money in front of him, he immediately looked greedily and said: "It doesn't matter, first carry the box to Junyang City, and then chase after Tang Jun."

"Here."

At this moment, a soldier reported: "Your Majesty, more than [-] famous Tang troops entered Nanyang City, Lu Congdian and Yan Minchu surrendered, and Nanyang City fell!"

Zhu Can turned pale with fright. All his possessions were hoarded in Nanyang City. If Nanyang fell, his army would disperse because of the loss of supplies. Zhu Can had realized that he had been tricked, and he hurriedly ordered: "Take these boxes with you. , Withdraw troops immediately!"

"Here!"

Zhu Can's soldiers immediately got into the carriage, waved their whips and began to turn around, and then they reached the center of the river. The speed of the horses slowed down, their footsteps seemed to be weak, and some even fell directly into the river.

"What's going on?" Zhu Can asked in surprise.

"General, these horses have been poisoned, why don't you give up the money!" The lieutenant looked anxious.

"You bastard, how can you easily throw away the wealth you have obtained, and change horses immediately." Zhu Can ordered.

On a high mountain on the opposite bank, Li Xiaogong in silver armor was holding his sword in his hand, watching tens of thousands of people messing up in the Danshui, he laughed loudly: "It's so greedy, I'm looking for death."

Before the words fell, only a loud rumbling sound came from upstream.

"Your Majesty, it's not good!" The lieutenant general's face turned ashen.

"Go!" Niu Can was frightened out of his wits, hit his horse and fled to the opposite bank.

I saw that the wave was coming very fast, like a galloping horse, and it was rushing forward in an instant. Wherever it passed, Niu Chan's army was instantly sucked in.

The raging flood swept in, and in the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of troops disappeared without a trace.

Seeing the water gradually slow down, Li Xiaogong heaved a sigh of relief. This time, he spent a lot of money in order to annihilate this devil army in one fell swoop. Thinking of the scene of destruction just now, even Li Xiaogong was afraid for a while.

"General... General. Is this the end for more than 5 people?" A partial general swallowed, startled by the scene in front of him.

"Wrong! They are not human beings, but a group of devils and beasts who eat human flesh for pleasure." After Li Xiaogong said this, his eyes were cold. If he did it again, he would do the same thing.

"Quick, run." Zhu Can was trembling all over. Beside him, there were less than [-] soldiers and horses left, all of them were drenched. life nostalgia

"kill!"

At this moment, tens of thousands of Tang troops were killed in the forest, and the sound of rumbling war drums suddenly sounded from the front, back, left, and right sides of Niu Can's army.

If it was before, Zhu Can could still resist, but now there are only a few thousand soldiers who are frightened and stupid. Zhu Can's army was defeated in less than a while, but surrounded by Tang army regiments, the soldiers had nowhere to escape, and there were countless surrenders. .

Zhu can led hundreds of people to fight a bloody road northward, and went to Wang Shichong.After Li Daozong handed over the weapons of Zhu Can's army, he hunted them down in one go.

Generally, after a civil war is won, the captives will not be tortured and killed, but Zhu Can and his men are not human beings, but a group of inhuman madmen. They attack the city, kill people, eat human flesh, and then attack the city, kill people, Cannibalism!Over the years, they have annihilated their humanity in such a continuous cycle. Such people should be put to death early. It is really cheap for them to be drowned and shot.

Li Xiaogong asked Li Daozong to lead an army of [-] to Funiu Mountain at the junction of Xiyang and Nanyang to prevent Wang Shichong from going south. After sending a good news to Fangling, he immediately led an army of [-] to Xiangyang County.

The fierce offensive of the Tang army completely broke the balance in the south. First, Zhu Can made a plan in Xiyang Danshui, and the main force was drowned by Li Xiaogong. Then Li Daozong ambushed Wang Qianshou who was trying to seize Xiyang in Funiu Mountain.

Wang Qianshou is Wang Shichong's nephew. He led an army of [-] to Hongnong. After receiving Wang Shichong's order, he sent troops out of Zhuyang Pass to attack Neixiang County in Xiyang. Li Daozong divided the [-] army into ten teams and ordered the two teams to ambush On the north bank of Xishui, one team was lurking near Zhuyang Pass, and three teams were sent to form on the south bank of Xishui.Wang Qianshou saw that there were few soldiers in the Tang Dynasty, and felt that the Tang Army was being crushed and beaten by the Sui Army, so he underestimated its combat ability.Li Daozong first fought with Zheng Jun.When the two sides were stalemate, ambushes on both sides of Xishui rushed out, and arrows flew across the enemy's formation.Zheng Jun was defeated by Tang Jun and fled.Wang Qianshou undressed and absconded, saved his life, and rushed back to Zhuyang Pass, where he was killed into Zhuyang Pass. Li Daozong rectified and surrendered more than [-] soldiers.

……

The Wensi Hall of Ziwei Palace was in a mess, with torn maps and overturned shelves everywhere, as well as scattered arrows all over the place, and there were even gaps cut by knives on the desk, all of which showed that Wang Shichong was furious.

More than a dozen eunuchs carefully packed the things on the ground. After a while, Wang Shichong said in a cold voice: "I will go to King Zhao and call to see me!"

Zhao Wang is Wang Renze. When encountering important events, the first thing he thinks of is this nephew.

Wang Shichong sat down and waved his hands, and said to the eunuchs like chasing flies, "Get lost!"

A group of eunuchs retreated quickly. Wang Shichong's rage came from Zhu Can. This guy didn't come to Luoyang when he presented the letter of surrender. He only wanted to surrender himself after the defeat, which led to the complete fall of Xijiang and Nanyang in the south; Another reason is Wang Qianshou's disastrous defeat. Not only did the [-] troops disappear, but Zhu Yangguan also fell, which meant that the south gate of Hongnong was opened and all of this was caused by that bastard Zhu Can.

When Wang Shichong thought of his unexpected disasters, loss of soldiers and generals, and loss of fortresses, why didn't he become furious and furious?

However, Wang Shichong has gradually calmed down at this time. Although he does not want to accept these losses, he has to face reality.

The territory he occupies has no danger to defend. Li Yuan can fight Wang Shichong with all his strength, but Wang Shichong must take care of all directions. This is also the reason why Wang Shichong does not want to fight Li Yuan decisively. Now he has too few troops in his hands, not even as good as Li Yuan A small amount, because even though Li Yuan lost Guanzhong, he has dozens of counties in Bashu, and there has been no war, and he can build an army of one million casually. This background is not something Wang Shichong can contend with alone.

Wang Shizhuo immediately wrote a letter, called a soldier to come in, handed the letter to him and said: "Go to Liang County, give this letter to Li Mi, and tell Li Mi that Li Yuan is powerful, not our side." The forces can deal with it, I hope he can recognize the situation, and don't end up with Li Yuan."

"Here!"

The soldier took the letter and hurried away. Wang Shichong waited a moment, then frowned and asked, "Why hasn't King Zhao arrived yet?"

"Report to Your Majesty, King Zhao is waiting outside the hall!"

"Ask him to come in?"

Not long after, Wang Renze hurried in, bowed and saluted: "See Your Majesty!"

"sit!"

"Thank you for sitting!" Wang Ren quickly glanced at the untidy mess in the hall. He understood the reason why Wang Shichong was in a bad mood at this time, and he also knew why Wang Shichong wanted to find him.

Wang Shichong said: "You should also know what happened in the south. I want to ask your opinion on how to deal with that bastard Zhu Can."

Wang Ren was silent for a while, and frowned, "Your Majesty, when Zhu Can had a little strength, he was arrogant and conceited. He was named Jiang Zheng, but he actually did his own way. Now he has lost a lot and has no way out, so he came to the Holy Majesty. It can be seen that this person It’s not that I sincerely surrendered to Da Zheng, and this person is worthless now, I hope to kill this man-eating devil king, and never let him tarnish my Da Zheng’s innocence.”

Wang Shichong sighed, "I want to kill him too, but I still want to use him to control Jing Xiang. I can't kill Zhu Can at this time, but I want to use him again."

Wang Ren understood that Wang Shichong did not want to kill Zhu Can, because when Wang Shichong was still an official in the Sui Dynasty, when he was ordered to suppress the rebellion, he condoned the Jianghuai army to burn, kill and loot, and slaughtered nearly 10 surrendered people in Jiangnan. The reason why they followed the Sui Dynasty to do this is nothing more than to retain the people.Wang Shichong was a cruel person in his heart, and what he valued was Zhu Can's cruelty. Now all over Jingxiang were afraid of Zhu Can, as long as Zhu Can led his troops to the south, wherever he went, the counties would surely surrender.

Although he understood what Wang Shichong meant, he still said, "Killing Zhu Can won't win the hearts of the Jingxiang people more? Besides, Zhu Can's reputation is too bad, I'm worried that it will affect the Holy Majesty. If the people compare the Holy Majesty to him What should I do?"

"It's okay, after you use Zhu Can, it's not too late to kill him. Don't mention this matter again." Wang Shichong said nonchalantly.

"Here!"

Wang Renze reluctantly agreed, but he always felt something was wrong.Now Luoyang has finally gained some popular support. If Zhu Can is appointed as the ogre king, I am afraid that not only will he not be able to scare the people of Jingzhou, but it will also make people in Luoyang fluctuate. Big mistake.But Wang Shichong has made up his mind, so what about him?
