Chapter 718
In the early morning of the second day after Du Fuwei was killed, when Xuzhou City was in turmoil, Zhao Jun's forward had already arrived at Xuzhou City.

In the north of Xuzhou City, the Jianghuai Army Camp, stationed here are 5000 troops of General Du Fuwei Ximen Junyi.In the hazy sky, Zhao Jun's forward scout cavalry had arrived outside Ximen Junyi's camp.Hearing the news of Zhao Jun's attack, Ximen Junyi immediately led a thousand soldiers out of the camp to challenge.

A thousand soldiers of the Jianghuai Army formed a strong formation, and Ximen Junyi with a white horse and silver spear stood in front of the formation, majestic and majestic.

Qin Qiong, the forward general of the Zhao army, has arrived with five hundred cavalry.Qin Qiong was watching the formation on the hillside. Seeing that the Jianghuai army was still standing outside the gate of the camp in front of the unparalleled Zhao Jun, he couldn't help but said: "It seems that the Jianghuai army still has some confidence!"

Wang Xiongdan said: "Ximen Junyi is a veteran of the Jianghuai Army. When he was still a rebel army, the Sui army attacked the camp. Yifu, no, it was King Wu who was seriously injured and couldn't move. Thanks to Ximen Junyi's back Looking at the King of Wu, he fought with guns and fought desperately to break out of the siege. Only then did King Wu escape with his life. This man is a mighty general in the Jianghuai Army, be careful, General!"

"I fight like a titan!" Qin Qiong didn't believe it at the moment, and was about to step forward to fight, when a fast horse came galloping from behind, and said to Qin Qiong: "Wait a minute, General Qin, Your Majesty has a will."

After hearing this, Qin Qiong reined in his horse and asked, "What is the purpose?"

Then he immediately sent an order to the general to report: "General Qin, last night there was a drastic change in Xuzhou City. Du Fuwei was killed by Wang Shibian. Now the city is in chaos. Your Majesty specially ordered you to come down and report to General Qin."

Qin Qiong and Wang Xiongdan all showed shocked expressions.

As the pillar of the Jianghuai army, Du Fuwei was assassinated to death.A look of sadness suddenly appeared in Wang Xiongdan's eyes.

Qin Qiong said: "Du Fuwei is dead, which saves a lot of effort."

The general also said: "Your Majesty has something to say, now that Danyang and Jiangdu have been captured, most of the family members of the generals of the Jianghuai Army have fallen into our hands, and now that the Jianghuai Army is in civil turmoil, we can just take advantage of this opportunity to profit from the chaos." , to persuade the generals of the Jianghuai Army to join us."

After speaking, the general looked at Wang Xiongsheng, the meaning of his words was very obvious.As a general of the Jianghuai Army, Wang Xiongdan has an extraordinary influence in the Jianghuai Army. If the matter of persuading the surrender is not entrusted to him, who else can it be entrusted to.

In front of the gate of the Xuzhou city camp, Ximen Junyi raised his gun and waited in full force. He knew very well what happened in Xuzhou last night. Du Fuwei was kind to him, but now he died inexplicably.Ximen Junyi was full of sadness, but as a former general, seeing Zhao Jun approaching, he should not show weakness because of this and not fight, this would only lower the morale of his own army.

At this time, Zhao Jun's cavalry was on the mountain and did not move out. They just rode their horses down the mountain slowly.After seeing the person who came, Ximen Junyi couldn't help being furious, slapped his horse and pointed his gun and said, "Wang Xiongdan, have you surrendered to the Zhao army? You still have the face to see the brothers!"

Hearing that the other party was Wang Xiongdan, the soldiers of the Jianghuai Army present were in an uproar. Du Fuwei's most trusted general actually surrendered to Zhao Jun.

Hearing this, Wang Xiongdan smiled wryly and said: "Brother Ximen is polite, and I am greedy for life and afraid of death, but now the Jianghuai Army is gone, can't you see it? I heard about the adoptive father last night, and my heart ached so much that I killed the adoptive father. You should know who the real culprit is, so why bother to work for him. Brother Ximen, let me tell you the truth. Now that Danyang has fallen, your wife and children are all in the hands of Zhao Jun. If you want to keep your wife To save my son's life, it is better to find a way out early."

Hearing what Wang Xiongtan said, Ximen Junyi couldn't help being startled, he knew that what Wang Xiongdan said might be true.And Wang Xiongdan pulled his horse forward and shouted to the Jianghuai army soldiers in front: "Brothers, I am Wang Xiongdan, don't fight anymore, Danyang has fallen, and our family is in Danyang. Surrender, you can save your family from worrying about their lives!"

Wang Xiongdan had a long history of prestige in the Jianghuai army, as soon as he said this, the Jianghuai soldiers bowed their heads and commented.

Ximen Junyi looked to the left and right, but seeing that the soldiers didn't want to fight anymore, she couldn't help but looked up to the sky and sighed: "Okay, you Wang Xiongsheng, you dare to move my army!"

Wang Xiongdan lowered his head and did not speak.

Twenty miles north of Xuzhou City, Zhao Jun camped.

The soldiers hurriedly laid out the sheepskin map in front of Li Chongjiu.Li Chongjiu looked down, but saw several eye-catching arrows intersecting each other on the sheepskin map.

Ji Chuan said: "Now that Du Fuwei retreated from Langya County to Xuzhou, he sent his generals Wang Hua and Wenren Suian to retreat to Xiaopei to defend at Pi, forming a corner with Xuzhou. This Wang Shibian Unexpectedly, he gave all his territory as a dowry to the Jianghuai army."

Li Chongjiu nodded and said: "Du Fuwei is courageous, and he is not afraid of angering Li Yuan, but now that he is talking about what he is doing, he has already asked Fu Gongyou to kill him."

"Fu Gongyou was able to do something because we were secretly fueling the flames. He probably thought that if he killed Du Fuwei, our Zhao army would retreat, and then we would live in peace." Zhang Xuansu said with a smile.

Yu Shinan laughed loudly and said: "That's right, I hinted to Fu Gongyou like this, but when did I agree to him again, not to mention that even if I agreed, I can go back on my word."

Speaking of this, Zhang Xuansu and Yu Shinan laughed out loud.

Ji Chuan said: "We didn't kill people with a borrowed knife. This Fu Gongyou has long wanted to kill Du Fuwei. Even if we didn't promise him anything, he would still do it. If you really think that he fell into your plan to kill someone with a borrowed knife, then you can do it too." I underestimate the heroes of the world."

After being reprimanded by Ji Chuan, Yu Shinan resentfully stopped talking.

Li Chongjiu said: "Ji Shilang, don't be so sharp in your words. Yu Aiqing has been planning this matter for a long time."

"No!" Himekawa agreed in a low voice.
Hearing what Li Chongjiu said, Yu Shinan immediately looked a lot better.

Li Chongjiu said: "Although we occupy Jiangdu now and cut off the retreat route of the Jianghuai army, the Tang army must be careful in its actions. Look at Zhang Zhenzhou of Li Tang's Shuzhou, and Zhang Shan'an, the general manager of Hongzhou. These two people are not fuel-efficient. , They are now trying their best to move towards Xuzhou, this is to tear our blockade of Xuzhou."

Hearing what Li Chongjiu said, everyone nodded, and Ji Chuan said, "Your Majesty, we are now joining forces with Song Jingang's army, and Zhang Qingte and Jiang Shanhe are also leading township soldiers from several counties. Not counting Baekje, Silla's reinforcements have reached nearly [-] people. Not only enough to besiege the city, but also to send reinforcements!"

Zhang Xuansu said: "Ji Shilang is right. Not only can we attack Xuzhou, Pengcheng, and Xiapi, but we can also take the family members of the generals of the Jianghuai army from Danyang as hostages, and use this trick to persuade the generals of the Jianghuai army to surrender. Besides, Fu Gongyou's sons and daughters are all in our hands, and we use them as hostages to force Fu Gongyou to submit."

Hearing the words, Ji Chuan said dissatisfiedly: "Zhang Shilang, this is too much. To threaten a wife and daughter is a lowly thing. Our army is a majestic king, how can we do such an act. What's more, Fu Gongyou can kill Du Fuwei is obviously a person that his six relatives do not recognize. When Liu Bang's father was captured by Xiang Yu, and Xiang Yu threatened Liu Bang that he would cook his father, Liu Bang could say something about taking a share of the pie, let alone Fu Gongyou today?"

Yu Shinan said: "Ji Shilang's words are wrong. Even if they can't force Fu Gongyou to surrender, they can disturb his mind."

Li Chongjiu listened to several people's discussions and said: "Threatening Fu Gongyou's sons and daughters may not be successful, but the matter of blackmailing the generals of the Jianghuai Army can be done. Now is not the time to talk about benevolence and righteousness. Luoyang City is being attacked by the Tang army on both sides. Now The most urgent task is to immediately defeat Peng and Xu and reinforce Luoyang!"

Hearing what Li Chongjiu said, the three servants immediately took charge.

Just when the matter of discussion had just been settled, an urgent letter was sent here quickly.

After Li Chongjiu read the letter, he couldn't help being shocked. It turned out that Li Yuan gathered hundreds of boats in Chang'an, carrying grain and grass, and forcibly crossed the natural danger of Sanmenxia. In the army of the North Road Army.

After seeing this news, everyone couldn't help but start to worry about the situation in Luoyang again.The news came through Kuai Ma, it was ten days ago, now ten days have passed, how is the battle going on around Luoyang?
Luoyang Heyang Barracks.

The haze of food shortage hanging over the Tang army's Heyang camp finally disappeared because of the arrival of this grain ship.

Li Jiancheng is full of ambition now, standing on the North Central City, watching the pontoon bridge leading to the opposite bank of Heyang has been completely paved, the next moment his army gets enough rations, they can pass the pontoon bridge, break through the remaining Heyang South City on the south bank, and go straight When the soldiers came to the city of Luoyang, they joined forces with Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian, and the Tang army, and completed the original plan of encircling Luoyang by the north and the south.

Li Jiancheng looked at Qu Tutong and asked, "How about it, have all those annoying Fanqi in Hanoi been expelled?"

Qu Tutong reported to Li Jiancheng: "Reporting to the prince, General Chai Shao has successively captured the territory of Hanoi. The three counties of Huojia, Xinxiang, and Huangwu controlled by the Zhao army have deployed enough troops to guard this area. Now unless these Fanqi put on his wings and flew over, otherwise he would no longer be able to pose a threat to our rear in the future."

"Very well, with Chai Shao here, Gu's rear is as stable as Mount Tai. It's just that he has been wronged. I know that he actually wants to go to Luoyang with all his heart."

Qu Tu channel: "His Royal Highness, General Chai will understand your intentions."

Li Jiancheng nodded and said: "That's good. General Qu Tu will lead his army across the Yellow River tomorrow and arrive at the city of Luoyang. The people of Jifu must be waiting for the day when our army invades Luoyang. Good news, pass it back to Chang'an."

Qu Tu channel: "His Royal Highness, it must be accomplished immediately."

Li Jiancheng laughed and nodded in satisfaction.

When Li Jiancheng was happy, he didn't know that on the lower reaches of the Yellow River, Cheng Mingzhen, the chief of Zhao Jun's navy, led an inland navy with [-] warships and [-] soldiers, approaching Heyang.
