Chapter 550

Wang Xuanying had a calculating look on his face, thinking that the city was sophisticated, but Shen Yue at the side showed a disappointed look.

"The Hulao pass is going to be lost, and he has to borrow a knife to kill people. Such a prince is really incompetent. With this man's strength, even if Lord Zheng can sustain the Tang army's offensive and defend Luoyang this time, Zheng Guo's family fortune will be in danger sooner or later. This person is defeated."

Thinking of this, Shen Yue showed disdain for Wang Xuanying.

At this moment, a soldier of the Zheng army came to report: "Fifty miles west of Hulao Pass, the flags of the generals Li Junxian and Chai Shao of the Tang Army were found!"

When Wang Xuanying heard Li Junxian's name, his countenance changed immediately. The previous scene where he was defeated by the other party had already frightened him out of his wits.Wang Xuanying asked, "How many troops does the Tang army have?"

"This humble job is still being investigated."

"Trash!" Wang Xuanying kicked over the soldiers who risked their lives to complain.

Dai Zhou said: "Li Junxian is the deputy chief of the Tang army's horse army, and his subordinates should be the elite cavalry of the Tang army, while Chai Shao is the general under Li Shimin's command, and he is the chief of the army. I estimate that Chai Shao has the least number of Tang troops. More than 3000. Including Li Junxian's horse army, the strength of the Tang army is probably between [-] and [-], or even more."

Wang Xuanying's countenance changed immediately and he said, "Why are there so many?"

Immediately, another person came in and reported: "His Royal Highness, the Prince of Qi has an envoy!"

"Wang Bo? What is this grass bandit doing here?" Wang Xuanying thought that the Tang army was away, and he was flustered. In the future, he would not have time to think about the purpose of Wang Bo sending envoys here at this time.

"I didn't have time to see him, so I sent him away immediately."

"No." The soldier ran away immediately.

Wang Xuanying looked at the crowd and said: "Hurry up and discuss a plan with me, how to break the siege of the tiger prison, raise soldiers for a thousand days, and use them for a while, now is the time when the crown prince wants to use you, you have to do it no matter what." Find a way for me."

Everyone is helpless, as the saying goes, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. There are only two thousand remnant soldiers in Hulao Pass. How can they resist Li Tang's elite soldiers, such famous generals as Li Junxian and Chai Shao.

At this moment, a soldier from the east of the city came to report, saying: "His Royal Highness, Wang Bo's men and horses were found in the east of the city, less than ten miles away from the city."

Wang Xuanying was shocked when he heard the words, and said: "What, why did I only find out when I got so close."

The soldier said: "Our scouts are all monitoring the direction to the west of Chenggao Road, but to the east of Chenggao Road, there are no brothers watching at all."

"What is Wang Bo, a grassroots bandit, doing here at this time? Is he also going to attack the tiger prison?"

Wang Xuanying looked at Dai Zhou and asked quickly: "Dai Changshi, what strategy do you have to retreat from the enemy? If Wang Bo, the thief, and Li Tang attack together, how can we hold Hulao City? No, how can we hold it? "

Dai Zhou said, "Your Highness, don't panic, I don't think Wang Bo and Li Tang are in the same group."

"How do you know?" Wang Xuanying asked.

Dai Zhou said, "I heard that Wang Bo took refuge in Zhao Guo."

Shen Yue immediately said: "But Wang Bo also heard that Li Tang was surrendered before."

"Then is Wang Bo from Zhao State or Li Tang?" Wang Xuanying walked back and forth anxiously.

Wang Xingben said softly beside him: "His Royal Highness, will you find Wang Bo's envoy and ask?"

Wang Xuanying stopped abruptly and said, "Quick, has the envoy Wang Bo left? Find him quickly, no, please come here."

Wang Bo's envoy was a young general about 20 years old. When Wang Xuanying saw his envoy, although he was flustered, he still put on a calm expression of Prince Zheng and said: "I am Prince Zheng, and your king is in charge. What is the intention of leading the army to approach the Hulao?"

The young general said: "See Your Royal Highness, my lord was ordered by the king of Zhao to lead 1 horses to help the tiger prison, so as to resist the Tang army! Please also let the prince let my lord's army enter the city and take a rest to relieve the long-distance road Tired."

Shen Yue said solemnly from the side: "Hulao Pass is an important place of Zheng State, how could you enter the city if you want to?"

General Wang Jun said: "If you don't enter the city, if the Tang army attacks the city from the west, our army can only watch from the sidelines."

Hearing this, Wang Xuanying said in a calm tone: "That's not okay, I can't let foreign troops in and out of Hulao City at will, but your army has come from a long way, so you might as well stay under the city first, and wait until you need your assistance."

Wang Xuanying originally thought that if he said this, the other party would be furious, but how did he know that the young general showed a slightly relieved expression.

"Since it is so respectful, it is better to obey orders, and everything will be done according to the wishes of His Royal Highness."

The other party agreed suddenly, but Wang Xuanying was greatly surprised and froze there.Wang Xuanying asked, "What is Wang Bo's intention? Did they really agree to stay outside the city and not enter the city, or did they have other plans?"

Shen Yue took a step forward and said, "Wang Bo is a capricious person, His Royal Highness, you must not trust him."

Wang Xuanying nodded and said: "Shen Sima is right, it's better to be careful, order the east gate to be closed immediately, and no common people can come in or out."

Seeing Wang Xuanying's appearance like this, Shen Yue smiled slightly, and immediately took the opportunity to leave.

Shen Yue rode a horse out of Wang Xuanying's mansion and rode on. On the streets of Hulaoguan City, dozens of wounded soldiers of the Zheng army were thrown on the ground unattended, wailing.The rest of Zheng Jun's soldiers seemed to be blind, ignoring Yu Paoze's plea, and walked straight past.

Shen Yue also knew that it was because of Wang Xuanying's incompetent command that Zheng Jun was defeated and the morale of the soldiers was extremely low.To rely on such soldiers to defend Hulao Pass and resist Li Tang's elite soldiers is like a dream.

Shen Yue's family lives in a house in the south of the city, and his wife is still a hostage in Luoyang, so there are only a few personal soldiers around him.

But when Shen Yue arrived at the house, as soon as she opened the door, several people rushed up and asked, "How is Sima? Did Wang Xuan fall into the trap?"

Shen Yue nodded, rolled up her sleeves, and said confidently: "Li and Tang's army is about to attack, and this idiot Wang Xuanying has no way to deal with it. The tiger prison is doomed, and Wang Shichong is exhausted."

Several people nodded, and one person said: "Damn it, I have been waiting for this day for a long time, Wang Shichong is a thief."

Shen Yue nodded and said: "Wang Shichong, the villain who killed the king and usurped the throne, will have his retribution today. I, Shen Yue, a good man, stooped to become a thief, and endured the humiliation to wait for today, just to let Wang Shichong be the head."

Shen Yue came from the Wu Xing Shen family, a noble family in the south of the Yangtze River. His ancestor was Shen Junli, a famous minister of the Southern Chen Dynasty. Shen Yue didn't have the slightest affection for Wang Shichong, a great warlord who used violence to oppress the world and rose to power.Right now, the Tang army has not yet entered the Hulao, he has long since surrendered to Li Tang secretly like other Zheng officials, and is willing to respond internally.

"However, things changed a bit. Li Chongjiu sent Wang Bo to lead an army of [-] to reinforce Hulao."

"What? Wang Bo's [-] troops?" Everyone showed surprise.

Shen Yue put her hand down and said: "Be safe and don't be impatient. From Wang Bo's envoy's attitude, I have already seen that Wang Bo will not work so hard for Li Chongjiu. His subordinates heard that they can be stationed in the east of the city. After the battle with Li Tang in the west of the city, his expression showed joy, obviously we can guess Wang Bo's current attitude."

Everyone relaxed, and one of them said: "However, with Wang Bo's 1 troops, it is a variable after all. You must know that there are still a thousand elite Zhao Jun in the west of the city."

Shen Yue said: "I know, so it depends on whether we can achieve great success, are you afraid?"

Several people said together: "I have been following you through life and death for many years, and I have already ignored life and death."

"Okay!" Shen Yue said happily: "When the Tang army is attacking the city, we will go to the west gate and open the city gate to let the Tang army enter the city. Don't worry, everyone. It is your great achievement if this is achieved. If it is not successful, your family is also small. Someone will take care of you, don't worry."

Everyone looked at each other and said immediately: "Nuo, I will go through fire and water, and I will not say anything."

To the east of Hulao City, soldiers of Wang Bo's army, wearing red scarves and leather armour, were marching on Chenggao Avenue.In the cold winter, many soldiers even wore straw sandals, and their jackets were torn.

The faces of many soldiers were also bruised and purple from the cold. They only drank a bowl of half-dried corn porridge in the morning, and now they are already so hungry that their chests stick to their backs.

Yu Shinan rode his horse and went with the army, but seeing the appearance of Wang Bo's soldiers, and comparing it with Wang Bo's words that day, he knew that although Wang Bo's words were a bit exaggerated, they were true.

Wang Bo was optimistic, and said to Yu Shinan: "The scene at this moment is much better than when I was chased by Zhang Xutuo and ran all over the mountain. At that time, there were only dozens of brothers left by my side, and even war horses could not stand. Kill them and eat them, how can there be tens of thousands of horses today."

The generals of the Wang Jun on the side also boasted: "Don't look at our brothers, it's the same now, when there is a fight, it's screaming, we Shandong people are not afraid of death when we fight."

Yu Shinan could only laugh when he heard this. Wang Bo's exorbitant asking price before dispatching troops, and this 180-degree turn made him a little confused.

However, Wang Bo has indeed tried his best to advance troops in the past few days, and Yu Shinan has seen it.

"Brother Gao is back."

Someone shouted in front, this is the return of the generals from the Hulao Pass, and told Wang Bo and Yu Shinan that Prince Zheng would only allow Wang Bo's soldiers to camp in the east of the city, and would not allow them to enter the city.

Hearing this sentence, the joy on Wang Bo's face flashed, but he shouted: "What kind of words are these? We came all the way to help Wang Shichong, a son of a bitch, but he turned us away. It made me angry Now, go directly to Hulao Pass."

When Wang Bo said this, the generals and soldiers under him also booed.

Hearing Wang Bojun's up and down, Yu Shinan quickly said: "How can this be possible."

Wang Bo smiled when he heard this, showing a smile that was sold out.

But at this moment, on Chenggao Road east of Hulao Pass, Tang Junyi was advancing towards Hulao Pass.But seeing that the Tang army has a well-organized lineup and flying flags, it can be seen that it is a master of a hundred battles.

Generals Li Junxian and Chai Shaozheng led the elite troops of the Tang army to approach Hulaoguan.
