Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 479
Xingyang, Hulao Pass.

Zhang Xutuo and Pei Renji had already gathered 2 people at Hulao Pass in Xingyang. Thanks to the implementation of the standing battalion plan that Luo Cheng made before, it was able to go so smoothly.Otherwise, it is not easy to quickly recruit a battle-ready soldier in a hurry.

On the one hand, he ordered the whole army to be prepared and the defense to be strengthened.

On the one hand, he ordered all the counties in Henan to be on strict vigilance, so that the officers and soldiers of the counties should stick to the city and not easily go out of the city to fight in waves.

At the same time, the two sent more scouts to scout the horses, scouting from all sides, and paying close attention to the movements of the rebels.

Pei Hongce returned to Hulao Pass with dozens of cavalry.

When he left, he was very energetic and energetic, but when he came back, he immediately looked like a defeated rooster.As soon as he returned to Hulao Pass, he immediately wanted to go back to Luoyang through the pass.

Zhang Xutuo sent someone to stop him.

"According to the order to arrest Ambassador Zhang, starting immediately, all government soldiers, county soldiers, and village braves will be temporarily recruited to participate in the suppression of the chaos. Juncheng Pei, you and your subordinates have been urgently called up and cannot leave."

Pei Hongce was furious.

"I am the counter-insurgency general appointed by Dongdu to stay behind. Now I want to return to Dongdu. Who dares to stop me?"

"I'm sorry, this is Ambassador Pei's military order. All the twelve counties in Henan must obey the order."

"I'm leaving."

"Now is wartime, this is a military order, those who disobey the military order can be executed according to the military law, beheaded!"

As soon as the word "cut" came out, dozens of gate guard soldiers surrounded him with spears.

Pei Hongce still yelled to get out of the way.

Until Jia Wuben arrived with a team of soldiers.

"Take it for me!" Jia Wuben's position was far inferior to Pei Hongce's, but he was Zhang Xutuo's personal guard general, and he didn't care about Pei Hongce's official position.

"Presumptuous!" Pei Hongce was furious.

But Jia Wuben didn't care about it, he just kicked him up and kicked him to the ground.

"A county magistrate, do you really think you are so great? The two ambassadors Zhang and Pei told you not to underestimate the enemy, but what about you? It's good now. After losing the battle and losing all the troops, you want to escape?"

"Tie him up and take him to Zhang Shuai to listen to Hou Faluo."

A group of soldiers stepped forward and arrested Pei Hongce, who had been kicked like a shit, tied him up and escorted him to Zhang Xutuo.

The prefect's government office.

Zhang Xutuo stared at Pei Hongce with an ugly expression.

"Eight thousand easts are elite, and you defeated them all?"

"The generals don't obey orders." Pei Hongce made excuses for his failure.

"The generals don't listen to the command? A chief general lost his eight thousand soldiers in one day, and he was defeated by two thousand rebels. Now he has the face to escape alone? After returning, he still refuses to go to Xingyang Participate in the refusal to defend the bandits, where is your courage, and what is your duty?"

"I want to go back to the Eastern Capital!"

"Bastard, you are now in Xingyang, so you need to listen to my military order to arrest the ambassador of the twelve counties in Henan. Why do you come and leave whenever you want?"

"If you don't obey the military order, ignore the laws and regulations, come here, push this person out to me, behead him, hang his head above the city of Xingyang Pass to show the public, and warn the soldiers! Anyone who dares to escape or surrender to the bandit will be beheaded! "

As soon as Zhang Xutuo gave an order, several personal soldiers came up immediately, and they dragged him down like a dead dog regardless of how much Pei Hongce scolded.

After a while, Pei Hongce's head came up.

Pei Renji remained silent.

"Pei Gong, now the bandits are powerful and arrogant, and people in Henan are in a state of panic. This Pei Hongce is disturbing our army's morale and destroying our morale. If you don't kill him, it will not be enough to stabilize the morale of the army."

"Understood, but it doesn't matter if you kill him. If the higher-ups really want to investigate, you and Mr. Zhang will bear it together."

Pei Renji smiled wryly, "I never thought that Pei Hongce would be so incompetent that all eight thousand elites would be wiped out in one fell swoop."

"The most troublesome thing is those sons of nobles and nobles, all of whom have fallen into the hands of thieves. I'm afraid we won't be able to escape the responsibility by then." Zhang Xutuo sighed.

"Who would have expected that Yang Xuangan would rebel." Pei Renji never dared to think about it before.

"Report!"

Yang Xuangan led [-] thieves to camp [-] miles outside the pass, and sent Yang Gongdao, Wei Fusi and others to persuade them to surrender.

Hearing this, the two couldn't help but look at each other even more.

"Who else is here to persuade you to surrender?"

The person gave their names, but they were all the famous second generation of Kyoto, each of them was from a wealthy family. How could these people become thieves after the defeat?
"Damn it, you've insulted your ancestors." Pei Renji scolded.

Zhang Xutuo just shook his head, "Perhaps they are also helpless, after all they were defeated and captured, so just leave them alone."

"Send someone to Luoyang to report."

Wei Fusi and more than [-] nobles of the clan spent a long time in Hulao to persuade them to surrender, but no one paid any attention to them.

Over there Yang Xuanting said to the eldest brother, "Brother, there are not many of these people who sincerely surrender."

"I don't know, but it doesn't matter if you don't really mean it. At least they are standing in our camp now. Everyone in Xingyang Pass and Luoyang City knows that they are standing on our side. Countless people have also seen that there are many famous nobles standing in front of us." On our side, what is this? This is public opinion and guidance. When we succeed in the future, they will naturally turn to us completely."

"But if we lose, they will definitely bite us too."

Yang Xuangan didn't take it seriously.

"If you really lose, then don't care about the flood. A man, if you don't fight, how can you treat yourself. At the time, my father was forced to dare not take medicine and died of illness. I couldn't do it. Fight back and die."

This is what Yang Xuangan didn't understand about his father the most back then. In his opinion, his father's literary and martial arts strategy was incomparable.But such a powerful person, because of Yang Guang's few words, even refused to take medicine, let himself die of illness, this is too useless.

"Report!"

"To the Bawang, there is a man outside the camp who claims to be Li Zixiong to vote, saying that he is an old friend of the general."

"Li Zixiong? Please!"

When he heard that Li Zixiong had arrived, Yang Xuan was overjoyed.

"No, I'll go to greet you in person."

Yang Xuangan rushed out of the camp in person, "Uncle Shi!"

Li Zixiong came from Bohai County. He was the grandson of Li Boben, an admonishing doctor in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the son of Li Taozhi, the governor of Yizhou in the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

Speaking of which, this Li Zixiong is also a character. He had a bold personality and great ambitions when he was young. When he was an adult, he joined the army to pacify the Northern Qi Dynasty. He was appointed as the commander-in-chief for his meritorious service. male.After the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, he served as a general of hussars. In the ninth year of Kaihuang, he also participated in the pacification of Chen State, and was promoted to a general because of his meritorious service.

When Yang Guang succeeded to the throne and Yang Liang rebelled, he followed Yang Su in conquests and became a general and governor of Lianzhou. Later, he was promoted to the governor of Youzhou for his meritorious service in suppressing the chaos, and then returned to the court as Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

It's just that Yang Zixiong's mouth is not very good, and he often says the wrong things, just because of his bad mouth, he says the wrong things, and he has ups and downs in his life.

Three times he was dismissed as a civilian.
