Great Sui Dynasty

"Zhijie, are you alright?" Dou Jiande followed Cheng Yaojin's army and retreated.

"Fortunately, they can't chase after them. Although the bushes can hide people, they can't hide much. What's more, they just lit the fire. I didn't expect to use rockets to give us enough time to withdraw safely, but we also lost a lot. It is impossible for those who want to make a surprise attack right now, we can only wait for Zhang Xutuo to come and make plans, only his tens of thousands of elite cavalry in Lu County in Pingchuan can be invincible!" Cheng Yaojin decided to wait for Zhang Xutuo Xu Tuo came to make plans again. At that time, Du Ruhui took advantage of Yang Xuangan's ovulation excuse to gather the troops of several counties around him. He didn't move Zhang Xutuo's tens of thousands of cavalry because he knew that Yang Hao wanted to subdue Zhang Xutuo. In the battle of Licheng, Zhang Xutuo was only short of a form of allegiance to Yang Hao.

"Okay! Order! The army retreats to Ningyang and joins General Zhang's army!" Dou Jiande ordered decisively!According to Feihong's news, Xu Yuanlang's army is gathered in the area of ​​Rencheng, and Ningyang is just not far from Rencheng. First, he can monitor Xu Yuanlang's movements. Can rush over as soon as possible.

"Ningyang City is also an empty shell. At that time, Mr. Du gathered soldiers and horses from several counties in Licheng. Although our strength was greatly increased in a very short period of time, the counties lacked soldiers to guard them. This rebellion It’s also easy to happen, I really don’t know whether it’s good or bad!” Cheng Yaojin looked at Ningyang City, which had a weak defense force, and said, although the focus of Licheng’s work is in Qingzhou, Lu County is not far from Qingzhou, Qingzhou’s Prosperity, as long as they are not blind, they will definitely see it, and since they can see it, they will find ways to learn, so Ningyang is relatively prosperous, just look at the crowds and small vendors walking on the street, but they lack defense. That's why Xu Yuanlang was able to get into trouble so easily.

"Find a place first, settle the troops, and then send people out to investigate the situation, Lao Dou, you go to the county magistrate and tell us that we are going to take over this city." Cheng Yaojin and the others entered Rencheng without much effort, but Show the token and let go. If the rebels pretended to be, the city would have fallen long ago.

Sure enough, for Cheng Yaojin and the others to take over the defense of the city, the magistrate of Rencheng was very eager. He also got the news of Xu Yuanlang's rebellion. He had been worried that the rebels would attack. Now that King Qi's army came, he finally You can feel at ease.

Ren Cheng, Xu Yuanlang Camp

"My lord, I'm back!" Bai Zixi hurried to see Xu Yuanlang after returning.

"Oh? You came back so soon? How's the situation?!" Seeing that Bai Zixi came back in just a day, Xu Yuanlang looked puzzled. Did he lose so soon?

"Your Majesty, the Qingzhou army has been defeated by me, and they have transferred to Ningyang to occupy themselves. The Qingzhou general who claimed to be Cheng Yaojin had a contest with his subordinates. I wonder if the king knows this person?" Bai Zi Xi narrated how he repelled the Qingzhou Army.

"Cheng Yaojin? This king has never heard of him. He only knows that there are Li Jing and Qin Qiong in Qingzhou, as well as Luo Shixin who defeated Shan Xiongxin. When will another Cheng Yaojin come out? It seems that Qingzhou is really not easy to mess with." Xu Yuan Lang heard from Bai Zixi that a little-known general in Qingzhou could draw a tie with his number one general, so if a well-known general came, would he be able to resist it?Although I don't want to start troubles under the noses of the Qingzhou Army, after all, I have been in business for several years, so I am unlucky to think that King Qi will suddenly come.

"Your Majesty is right. This subordinate sees that Cheng Yaojin is rough on the outside, but not simple on the inside, especially after finding out that he has entered our ambush circle and can command calmly. From this, we know that this person is not easy to deal with. , and it seems that he has someone to support him, so it will be even more difficult for us to deal with him." Bai Zixi gave Cheng Yaojin a relatively fair evaluation, and he was very excited to have such an opponent. Maybe this is the reason why heroes cherish each other and swords meet each other. .

"It's hard to fight against the enemy, and it's not always possible to succeed by outsmarting the enemy. I don't want to fight hand-to-hand with the Qingzhou Army." To be honest, Xu Yuanlang really doesn't want to face the current Qingzhou Army, but he has no choice. It made him unwilling to give up the result of years of painstaking efforts, and started an incident in Henan Road. Now he either confronts the tough, or avoids the edge.

"Please order from the king, the subordinates will definitely go through fire and water!" Bai Zixi saw that Xu Yuanlang was a little unconfident, so he spoke to awaken his master's ambition.

"Don't worry, let Gu think about it again." Xu Yuanlang waved his hand and said, meaning that he wanted Bai Zixi to go out, and he had to think about it again. This is a situation where one step is wrong and the whole game is lost. The road is smooth, or it may be a catastrophe, and I can't allow myself to be careless.

Bai Zixi walked out of the big tent with some disappointment. A real man will throw his head and blood while he is still alive.Although he was a little disappointed in his heart, he also knew that he had to take the overall situation into consideration, and he couldn't just satisfy his own desires blindly, otherwise he wouldn't let Cheng Yaojin retreat safely, and would definitely kill them all the way to prevent them from retreating, just like that If the fire cannot be controlled, it will inevitably hurt one's own troops.

The city of Ningyang is already crowded with people, Cheng Yaojin has sent people to take over the defense of the whole city, and now he is waiting for the news of the horse scout ahead and the arrival of Zhang Xutuo.Although Li Jing didn't say how much time he was given to solve Xu Yuanlang's problem, he also knew that he had to solve it as soon as possible, because it was related to the Qingzhou Army and the prince's prestige.So Cheng Yaojin was very anxious, he was putting pressure on himself.

Suddenly, a piece of smoke and dust appeared in Cheng Yaojin's field of vision, and after a while, the roar of the earth began to resound, Cheng Yaojin didn't need to look any further to know that it was Zhang Xutuo who came, except for Zhang Xutuo, there was no one around here. Such an imposing cavalry army.Sure enough, a big banner flying in the air, rushing towards Ningyang City!

"Open the city gate and welcome Zhang Taishou's army!" Cheng Yaojin gave an order, and Ningyang's city gate opened, and he went down to greet him personally, although Zhang Xutuo is not directly affiliated with the prince, and he came this time to cooperate with him. He suppressed Xu Yuanlang's rebellion by himself, but because Zhang Xutuo is a senior figure in the military circle, he deserves to be greeted by Cheng Yaojin in person, even if the prince is here, he will definitely greet him in person.

"I have seen Taishou Zhang, and my lord is here. My old Cheng's heart is settled." Cheng Yaojin said to Zhang Xutuo with a smile. He didn't think about it. He was only in his twenties. , Luo Shixin, calling himself Lao Cheng is fine, but calling himself Lao Cheng in front of Zhang Xutuo feels a little weird, but this can be regarded as resolving the embarrassing situation invisible.After all, Zhang Xutuo was higher than Cheng Yaojin in terms of seniority, age and official position, but this time he was only an assistant, equivalent to a deputy, which made it difficult for the two of them to face.

"General Cheng, you are very polite. General Li said in the letter that General Cheng is a young talent, and it is really extraordinary to see him today." Zhang Xutuo also responded politely.

"Old Cheng, please invite your lord to enter the city first, and we will talk about the rest later." Seeing so many people blocking the gate of the city, making it inconvenient for the common people to enter and exit, Dou Jiande spoke out.

"Alright, sir!" With the addition of Zhang Xutuo's [-] elite cavalry, this crusade army has finally taken shape. In fact, as long as Zhang Xutuo is on the horse, only [-] elite cavalry can sweep Xu Yuanlang's tens of thousands of horsemen. The miscellaneous army, and Li Jing arranged for Cheng Yaojin to be the coach. In fact, he wanted to train soldiers and generals. Everyone knew that this battle was Cheng Yaojin's fame. No one can change the fact that Zhang Xutuo joined Just make sure that fact emerges [-] percent.
