At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 370
In the mid-autumn of August, the frosty forest was stained, the Luoshui River flowed eastward, and the autumn wind blew through the half-person-high decaying grass beside the road, making a soft rustling sound, which added a bit of loneliness to this autumn morning, but soon, A rush of hoofbeats broke the loneliness of this autumn morning.

The sound of horseshoes became louder and louder, but amid the dust, a cavalry group of about two hundred people came out from the corner of the official road, and a big green horse was in front of it. Immediately riding a man with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, with a long knife on his back and a quiver hanging, he is full of heroic spirit. His body follows the ups and downs of the horse and gallops fast. His movements are vigorous and light, which is pleasing to the eye.

This man is none other than Gao Bufan, General of the Yingyang Mansion in Zhuo County of Jin Dynasty, and behind him are Yuchi Jingde and other two hundred Yingyang Mansion soldiers!
It is said that Yang Xuangan abandoned Luoyang and led his army westward to capture Guanzhong. When he reached Hongnong County, he tried to attack Hongnong Palace to obtain supplies. Because there was a lot of food in Hongnong Palace, he failed to break through for three consecutive days. At this time, Qu Tutong, Yuwenshu, and Laihuer all led their troops to chase after them. Yang Xuangan had no choice but to fight and retreat. The rebel army assembled by Wan improvised disappeared immediately, and Yang Xuangan fled to Shangluo with only a small number of remnants.

This means that this vigorous mutiny uprising has completely failed. It took only a short period of two months from the start to the end. Now, Yang Xuangan himself has become a bereaved dog, a great contribution that everyone covets.

To be honest, Gao Bufan was not interested in this great achievement, but Yue Wang Yang Yu sent him to grab this credit with good intentions, so he had to leave Luoyang with Yuchi Jingde and others to follow the trail all the way.

It is said that Yuchi Jingde was ordered by Yang Qingruo to stay at Linqingguan before, and immediately led two hundred horses to Luoyang to report to the new boss Gao Bufan after Luoyang was rescued, so he was under Gao Bufan's command during this time.

Besides, Gao Bufan and the others rode their horses all the way and entered Shangluo County in the afternoon. I have to say that they were really lucky, and they found a remnant rebel soldier not long after.

There was no need for Gao Bufan to make a move, Yuchi Jingde and others chased them down like a wolf, and in the blink of an eye, they killed the remnants of the rebels who only had 50 people. They killed 15 people on the spot and captured 31 people alive. people!
"Report to General Gao Lang, this subordinate seems to have caught a big fish!" Yuchi Jingde rode over and threw a prisoner in front of Gao Bufan's horse.

Gao Bufan took a closer look, hey, it's really a narrow road to enemies, this person turned out to be Han Shi'e, he couldn't help but smiled and said: "It turned out to be Han Langjiang, it seems that you and I are indeed destined!"

Han Shi'e's complexion was gray, and he described it as a mess, but he was quite stubborn, and said coldly: "The winner is the king, and the loser, since Han is in your hands, you can kill him as you like."

Gao Bufan shook his head and said: "Why did I kill you, take you back, and the emperor will deal with you."

Han Shi'er couldn't help shaking when he heard the words, secretly regretting that he didn't commit suicide just now, and now that he was arrested, he might suffer a lot of pain and torture in vain, it would be better to kill himself.

"Do you know where Yang Xuangan is?" Gao Bufan asked.

Han Shi'e said coldly: "I don't know, even if I knew, I wouldn't tell you!"

"That's a pity, if you can reveal the whereabouts of Yang Xuangan, maybe the emperor will be able to take a lighter punishment and avoid death!" Gao Bufan said to himself.

Han Shi'e heard a glimmer of hope in his eyes, and blurted out, "Really?"

A trace of disdain flashed in Yuchi Jingde's eyes, this guy was pretty stubborn just now, but he was scared after hearing the saying that he could survive, and Ganqing is also a ghost who is afraid of death.

Gao Bufan shrugged his shoulders and said: "The emperor's holy will is unpredictable, I can't guarantee it, but what is certain is that at least he can die more happily, maybe the family members can also be pardoned!"

Han Shi'e looked miserable, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Chu Guogong is from Hongnong Huayin!"

Gao Bufan's heart moved, and he waved someone to tie Han Shi'e down. Yuchi Jingde said with a little joy: "General Gao Lang, will Yang Xuangan run back to his hometown?"

Gao Bufan nodded: "It's possible!"

Yuchi Jingde immediately gritted his fists and said, "Then what are you waiting for, let's go!"

"Yes, it's not too late!" Brigade Marshal Zhang Duo also said.

Gao Bufan naturally understands that the two are eager to make meritorious deeds, after all, they are wearing the body of guilt, the more credits they make, the safer it is, if they can catch Yang Xuangan, they might be able to be promoted.

Ever since, everyone hastily cleaned up the battlefield and rushed towards Huayin County.

As the sun was setting and it was getting dark, Gao Bufan and others were galloping on horseback when they suddenly saw dust flying in front of them. Taking a closer look, it turned out that a Sui army and a rebel army were fighting fiercely, and the Sui army clearly had the upper hand.

The number of rebels was around 60 people, but they were well-equipped, and their combat power should not be underestimated at all. Although they were surrounded by more than twice as many Sui soldiers, they still fought hard and did not lose the wind at all. One of them was shining The big bald head is especially prominent, the sword in his hand is as light as a drill, and he even killed several Sui soldiers in a row while advancing and retreating!

"It's Ma Xingkong!" Yuchi Jingde blurted out, and said pleasantly: "Ma Xingkong is a member of Yang Xuangan. These rebels are well-equipped and powerful. They are most likely Yang Xuangan's personal soldiers!"

Everyone couldn't help but cheer up. Yang Xuangan's personal soldiers are here, does it mean that Yang Xuangan is also among them?
Gao Bufan's eyesight is so sharp, even though it is dark at the moment and the battlefield is chaotic, he can still see clearly, Yang Xuangan is not among them, but another big person accidentally entered his line of sight, this person has a sharp forehead, impressively upright It's Li Mi!
There was a strange flash in Gao Bufan's eyes, and while he was hesitating, Yuchi Jingde and the others could not help but flatter and kill him!
The two parties who were fighting fiercely in the forest suddenly saw a cavalry approaching, they were all startled, and immediately retreated!

In order to avoid any misunderstanding, Gao Bufan immediately raised his voice and shouted: "Master Gao Bufan of Zhuojun Yingyang Mansion is here!"

The general of the Sui army was visibly stunned, and immediately stepped forward on his horse and said loudly: "It turns out that it is General Gao Lang, and my subordinate is Liu Wuzhou, the school lieutenant under Lord Wang Rengong's command!"

Gao Bufan fixed his eyes and saw that the Sui general was holding a long black stick. It was indeed Liu Wuzhou. He had fought side by side in Goguryeo before, but he was recruited by Wang Rengong. Meet here.

"It turned out to be Brother Liu, let's talk together later!" Gao Bufan jumped up and rushed towards Li Mi.

Annoyance flashed across Liu Wuzhou's eyes, but in the end he didn't dare to compete with Gao Bufan, and he couldn't. After all, Gao Bufan led cavalry!
