Chapter 791 Yuwen has arrived in Chengdu

When Chen Kefu ascended the throne and became emperor, established the Great Chen, changed the Yuan Dynasty and opened the dynasty, and was proud of the great military and civil war. However, there were wars in Hanzhong and wolf smoke everywhere.

Some time ago, Yang Hing from Hanzhong was still in the middle of the good news of winning Hanzhong in the west and Bazhong in the east. After defeating Li Yuan in Hedong, Yang Hing wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to capture Hedong, but was first arranged by Wang Shichong. He first sat on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, and then seized the counties east and south of the river. The Yuwen family in Guanzhong also took the opportunity to seize their retreat and cut off the Yellow River waterway, hoping to repeat his trick to defeat Li Yuan that day...

Unable to advance and retreat, Yang Hao had to lead the army to retreat south of the Yellow River. After retreating from Hedong, he was still a little unwilling to accept it and had to attack Guanzhong again. However, the army's food and grass were not allowed to continue, so Yang Hao sent a letter to Yang Hao, who was entrenched in Bahan and borrowed grain from him. As a result, Yang Hao not only did not borrow food, but also killed his envoy. Yang Hao was furious and simply stopped attacking Guanzhong, but instead led his army to attack Hanzhong, and ordered his two uncles to raise an army from Jiangling to attack Bazhong.

At the beginning, everything was as he expected. The two groups of troops were as powerful as the bamboo, and Yang Hao's troops were completely unstoppable. Not long after, his troops had already captured Hanzhong counties, and the troops arrived directly at Hanzhong. They were approaching the northern gate of Shuzhong. They were only one step away from attacking Jianmen Pass and entering Chengdu. The other army took the water route and attacked Bazhong counties east from the Jialing River, and were even more powerful. Ba County, Badong County, and Baxi County, all counties went down one after another. The army crossed the Micang Mountain of Dabashan, passed Yangping Pass, and captured the East Gate of Shuzhong in one fell swoop. Along the Jialing River, the eastern army could enter the Shuzhong Basin at any time.

In a short time, Yang Hung's two armies defeated Yang Hao's troops one after another, captured Hanzhong and Bazhong's east and west wings of Shuzhong, captured fifteen counties at once, and annihilated tens of thousands of prisoners Yang Hao. After this battle, Yang Hung excitedly told his subordinates that Yang Hao's troops were all local soldiers and generals. It's okay to catch thieves in the local area, but it's useless to fight. As long as they work harder, the entire Bahan Minshu will be completely theirs. Then they will be surrounded by Bahan Minshu. Then they will be connected to the Han River Jingxiang, and they can defend themselves when they advance and retreat. They can seize the Jiangbei Lingnan when they go west. They can take Guanzhong and attack the Central Plains when they go north.

He even claimed that in less than three or five years, they would be able to recapture the two cities of Chang'an, the eastern capital of Luoyang, and revival the Sui Dynasty.

While he was happy, even facing Yang Hao's envoy's proposal to exchange a lot of money and food for Bahan, Yang Ming refused without thinking. Moreover, in order to show the anger of the last time the envoy was killed, Yang Ming even cut off the nose and ears of the envoy Yang Hao and put them back. He also told the envoy that if Yang Hao was willing to cut off his nose and ears, then knelt down and begged him, he could save him from death.

Yang Hao was shocked and angry when he received the news. Facing Yang Hsing's 200,000 east and north troops, he finally wrote two surrender signs in succession to the Nanchen in the east and the Yuwen clan in the west.

Yuwen Chengdu and Shen Faxing came quickly. At this time, both sides regarded Bahan and Shuzhong as the fat meat on their mouths. Each of them came out to attack. Especially Shen Faxing, because he followed Shen Luoyan's suggestion, they took the Jianghan from Henan and caught Yang Qing's remaining troops off guard. The troops of the Southern Chen lingering country swept across Jianghan. In a blink of an eye, all the huge Jianghan cities were planted with the Nanchen flags.

It was raining all night long. At this moment, Yang Hao also gathered nearly 50,000 troops to fight out of Shu. What made Yang Ming even more angry was that Chen Kefu's Hebei army took the opportunity to seize his three counties, Shangluo, Hongnong and Xiyang. After one loss of the three counties, Yang Ming was not only completely surrounded on all sides, but also lost all logistics and food. Even the families of his subordinates were completely trapped in the control of the Southern Chen Army.

The army cannot do without food and grass. In the end, the battle will be fought. If it is surrounded, the army can still break through, but if there is no food and grass, it can hold on in a day. Yang Hsing, who retreated to Dingjun Mountain, was immediately struck by lightning, sighing all day long, but could only face the fact that Shen Faxing, Yuwen Chengdu, Yang Haodong, south and west, surrounded by three sides.

Yang Ming had read the two letters dozens of times in his hand. These days he had to read them several times every day. These two letters were written by his mother, Empress Xiao and Chen Kefu. The content was just to persuade him to surrender to Chen Kefu. When he first received this letter, Chen Faxing only captured his Jianghan counties. At that time, he felt that as long as he tried his best to attack Chengdu, Shuzhong, he would turn around and get back all over Jianghan.

But to now, only the two or three counties in the surrounding area remain, and only the eighty thousand tired soldiers without food or morale were left.

Just as he was sighing, his personal soldiers suddenly came to report that the camp in Panzhong Mountain beside Jushui on the west side was raided by a soldier. General Yu Chaoen led 300 cavalry to the rescue, but was defeated by the other side. Most of the soldiers were killed, and General Yu Chaoen was captured.

Yang Ming was shocked when he heard this news. He had just received a reward from the troops stationed in the west yesterday. He had just fought with Xu's army in Guanzhong and was injured. The two armies retreated twenty miles to get into the camp. Now suddenly a soldier had arrived outside his camp and captured his generals. How could he not be anxious? Moreover, Yu Chaoen was not someone else, but the son of Yu Juluo, the general in his army.

Taking three thousand light cavalry with him, Yang Qing rushed to Panzhong Mountain in person to check. Yu Juluo is still guarding Longmen Mountain in the east. If the old general hears his son being captured, he will know what will happen. At the foot of Panzhong Mountain, hundreds of soldiers' bodies fell to the ground, and none of them survived. After careful inspection, most of the hundreds of dead soldiers died by arrows, and most of them were shot into the fatal places where the arrows hit the chest and head.

On the battlefield, blood stained the ground, and from time to time, there were still a few crows pecking at the soldiers' bodies. When they saw people coming, they were not frightened.

Yang Qing pulled out an arrow from a corpse and watched it carefully, and finally said, "I know who it is."

The personal guard asked, "Who is it?"

Yang Qing threw the arrow to his personal guards: "Yuwen Chengdu has arrived. Look at the horse's hoof prints, it is estimated that the only one who captured General Yu Chaoen's scouts was Yuwen Chengdu, and there are no more than 500 people. Look at these arrows, there are marks of Zuo Yiwei. Zuo Yiwei is the Guard Mansion that Yuwen Shu had been in charge for many years. Even Chen Kefu and Li Shimin came out of Zuo Yiwei's Mansion. Yuwen Shu died and Yuwen Chengdu took over this position. After Yuwen Chengdu claimed to be the emperor and established the pseudo-chao Xu State, he appointed his adopted son Yuwen Chengdu as the General of Zuo Yiwei. Now that the arrow of Zuo Yiwei has arrived, Yuwen Chengdu is probably not far away. The more than 10,000 people guarding Hechi County are probably gone. Hechi and Shunzheng counties seem to have fallen into the hands of Xu Jun. Let's go back immediately, Yuwen Chengdu is coming so quickly."

After nightfall, many remaining soldiers fled from the west one after another, and the general stationed in Hechi returned in a panic. When the 20,000 Sui army returned, less than 10,000 were left.

In Yang Hsiao's imperial tent, he was hanging an arm and titted down and said, "Yuwen Chengdu is indeed powerful. When the first emperor gave him a gold medal of invincible courage, he was indeed brave. Yesterday, he pretended to tie the army with our army, and then agreed to retreat twenty miles each. As a result, he went to send someone to steal the camp. I was prepared, but I counterattacked and killed many soldiers of Xu army. As a result, Xu army fled back to the camp. When I led the army to pursue it, I found that Xu army was defeated and fled in a hurry, and left a lot of food along the way. "

At this point, Tu Wanxu, who was also known as the Eight Tigers of the Northern Frontier, couldn't help but sigh. At that time, he saw Xu Jun's retreat so hard that he was alert and judged that Xu Jun had deliberately fled. When he saw the food along the way and even many cooked foods in the military camp had not come to eat, he felt even more confident. He ordered the soldiers to withdraw from the Xu Jun camp and re-arrange themselves. However, although the Sui army has not yet cut off food, it has been minimizing the supply of food these days recently. The soldiers have been hungry for many days every day.

When they saw so many foods and food, no one would let go. The soldiers rushed to grab food and snatched food, and they were completely confused. Although they kept shouting, the soldiers had already sacrificed their lives at this time. In the words of the soldiers, everyone's fate was almost destined, and at most they could only last a few more days. But since they were about to die sooner or later, everyone would have to be a full devil.

After Tu Wanxu killed several soldiers in a row, he had to helplessly understand that at this time, this strong army that once captured Jiang Han, defeated Li Yuan, and led his troops to seize Hanzhong, which was composed of the original Great Sui imperial guards and Hebei elite soldiers, was on the verge of collapse.

Tu Wanxu's vision as a famous general was indeed very accurate. Not long after the Sui army was in chaos, a Xu army cavalry suddenly arrived and was extremely fast. They broke through the already chaotic Sui army camp, and then before the Sui army could regroup, more Xu army appeared.

Tu Wanxu had fought for many years, but now he is old, but he is in danger of his old age. He is under his command of 20,000 elite Sui army, but he can't even defeat the same number of enemy troops. If he had led 20,000 troops, even 50,000 Turkic light cavalry would not have taken it seriously. At this time, he was defeated by a young general in his thirties in Yuwen Chengdu, so defeated so miserably.

"Your Majesty, this battle is all my crime, and I am willing to be punished." Tu Wanxu said with a low voice.

Yang Hao was about to comfort Tsuwanxu, but his personal guards hurriedly sent a letter from outside. When Yang Hao opened it, he changed his face. The letter was a letter of help from Yu Juluo, who was stationed in Longmen Mountain in the east. Just today, Yang Hao's 50,000 Shu troops left Jiange and broke into Jiameng, Yicheng, Miangu, Yichang, and Jinggu. The soldiers walked on the Jinniu Road and headed straight to the Longmen Shandong Camp. Shen Faxing's army had also crossed Yangping Pass and occupied Qinghua, Tongchuan, and Xicheng County. Now Yang Hao and Shen Faxing have arrived, and the troops are at the foot of Longmen Mountain, with more than 100,000 troops.

Yang Ming was shocked. Yuwen Chengdu had arrived from the west. In a blink of an eye, Yang Hao and Shen Faxing's army arrived again. Three armies arrived together. How could he resist the tens of thousands of remaining soldiers?
