Chapter 942 The Battle of Weishui (2)

It was deep, and Yu Wenshi still tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. The concubine Yang sat up in her clothes, raised her slender hands to help him gently rub her shoulders and back. Yu Wenshi looked back in the dark and looked at the beautiful Yang, who had the status of the Sui Dynasty royal family. Although this concubine was not only noble, but also beautiful, it could not make up for the depression in his heart.

When he was young, he was able to marry Princess Nanyang because his father Yuwen Shu was Yang Guang's confidant. I don't know how many people envied this kind of favor. Moreover, although Princess Nanyang was the daughter of the emperor, she was extremely virtuous and filial to his father and considerate to him. In addition, she gave birth to a son for him, which made him love Princess Nanyang.

But such a good princess wife was snatched away by the damn Chen Kefu. When Princess Nanyang took her son to the palace to see Princess Izumi, she was mistakenly regarded as Princess Izumi and tied up to Liaodong by Chen Pojun's subordinates, and never returned.

Several years have passed, and my wife's whereabouts have been found out. It was a good thing two years ago. Although Princess Nanyang was trapped in Hebei, she still had hope. But now, he has heard more than once that her wife Princess Nanyang has become a concubine in Chen Pojun's harem. Even he heard that even his son Zen Master Yuwen now recognizes the thief Chen Pojun as his father.

The hatred of robbing your wife and son!

Although he was named King of Qin of Daxu State, he knew that there were still many people who were laughing at him behind his back.

"King, the King of Han in Linjin Pass urgently reported!"

Suddenly, a burst of rapid footsteps came, and the captain of the guards whispered outside the door.

"What an urgent matter is it that even a report is delivered in the middle of the night?"

Yu Wenshi couldn't sleep at first. At this time, he heard this and simply put on his clothes. When he went out, he saw the guards leading an acquaintance to wait outside.

"Yuan Li, why are you? You are not in Linjin, why are you here to do?"

Yuan Li looked embarrassed, covered in mud, and even wore a Taoist suit, making a Taoist outfit. As soon as he saw Yu Wen Shiji, he immediately shouted: "Master, great things are not good, and it is extremely dangerous to be in the face of the world. Please send troops immediately. If it is too late, I am afraid it will be too late."

"You tell me in detail, what's wrong with Linjin?" Yu Wenshi also felt a little worried.

"The Chen army suddenly emerged from somewhere. Yesterday, they captured Fengyi City and rushed to attack Linjin Pass. Fortunately, the King of Han was well-instructed and the soldiers used their lives to temporarily block the Chen thief. However, although they blocked for a while, the Chen thief was fierce and afraid that it would be difficult to defend for a long time. The King of Han ordered the King to break through and report. Please send troops to rescue the King quickly!" Yuan Li cried, with a full expression of worry.

"What? Feng Yi has been lost?" Yu Wen Shiji felt dizzy and almost fainted. Feng Yi is one of the important towns in Guanzhong. Why was such a big city suddenly lost? He didn't even send a warning before. "Where did Chen Jun come from? Who led it, and how many people are there?"

"There are not many people, about 10,000, and there are 5,000 female soldiers, according to the banner. It was Chen Pojun who personally led it!"

"Chen Pojun, it's this damn Chen Pojun again!" When Yu Wenshi heard that it was Chen Pojun, he was already gritting his teeth in anger, wishing to suck blood and knock on the marrow, and eat meat on the skin.

"How could the 15th soldiers suddenly capture Feng Yi? Is Yang Qiantong a dead man? What about the five thousand soldiers under his command? What's more, there are two thousand palace guards in Changchun Palace, and all these seven thousand people are dead? Even if the seven thousand pigs are killed, they will hum a few times before they are killed. They will run around to give everyone a warning!"

Yuan Li secretly raised his sleeve and wiped the spit on his face, and said softly: "It's all the damn He Ruolong and He Ruodong brothers. The two thieves not only surrendered to the enemy in front of Xiao Guan, but also defeated our army, causing the King of Jin to commit suicide. This time he also led the way himself. He knew our army's defense and found someone to convince the old subordinates in Fengyi City, and cooperated inside and outside, secretly opened the city gate and let the Chen army enter the city, which made our army lose Fengyi under the precaution."

"King, Chen Pojun has always been extremely arrogant. He only has 10,000 people in his hand, but he dares to go deep into Guanzhong alone. What's more, he brought five thousand female soldiers, and he really doesn't know how to live or die. King, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Since he has no way to hell, he will break in, we will fulfill him. The King of Han is now guarding Pujin Pass City, and Chen Pojun will never be able to take it for a while. As long as the King of Qin sends troops to rescue him, he will be surrounded on both sides, attacking inside and outside, and capturing Chen Pojun alive. As long as Chen Pojun is captured alive, not only can Pujin Pass be resolved, but the deadlock in Lantian King in Changwu City can be established. It's hard to say that we can take this opportunity to capture the entire Guanlong in one fell swoop!"

Yu Wenshi was moved.

He gritted his teeth in hatred towards Chen Pojun. The hatred of taking his wife was no longer greater than this.

After pondering for a moment, he nodded and said, "Okay, I will immediately lead 15,000 troops to reinforce Pujin. I will ask the Zuo Xiaogu General Jing Yuanheng to stay in Tongguan. With General Jing and 15 elite troops, I can protect you from worry."

Yuan Li turned his eyes and said, "In order to be sure, it is better for the king to bring more troops. According to the last general, there are not many enemy troops outside Tongguan, so it is better to bring 20,000 troops away and leave 10,000 troops to guard Tongguan. In addition, it is best to send fast horses to Chang'an, so that Your Majesty can also transfer 10,000 or 20,000 troops to Linjin Pass. Although Chen Po's army has few soldiers, this person should not be underestimated. Lion fights rabbits and must do all his strength. Not to mention that Pujin is the eastern gate of Guanzhong, even Fengyi is also an important town in Xuguo. You must not make any mistakes and be able to retake quickly."

Yu Wenshi thought about it, nodded in agreement, and ordered that the general of Zuo Xiaogu, Jing Wuheng, led 10,000 troops to guard Tongguan. He led 20,000 troops to reinforce Pujin, and also selected three generals Liang Yuanli, Zhang Jun and Cui Shi to accompany the army. He immediately sent an urgent messenger to Chang'an, asking the emperor to send a military force to reinforce, be sure to regain Fengyi and capture Chen Pojun alive.

Guanzhong, also known as the 800-li Qinchuan in ancient times, Tongguan is the gateway to Guanzhong. The Yellow River passes south through the Loess Plateau and encounters the Huashan Mountains that run east and west near Tongguan. Then it turns eastward, and moves from north to south to east and east. Tongguan is located on the south bank of the Yellow River that just turned, and is next to the steep Yellow River bank in the north and the Huashan Mountains in the south. It is the only intersection to enter the Guanzhong Plain along the south bank of the Yellow River.

By crossing the western end of the Zhongtiao Mountain Range on the north bank of the Yellow River, entering the Hedong Plain, you can cross the Yellow River to the west.

In short, after crossing the Yellow River from Tongguan north, you must go north through the Zhongtiao Mountain Range, walk more than a hundred miles of steep mountain roads, and enter the Hedong Plain to reach the east bank of Puyangjin Ferry.

The Yellow River is more dangerous than the Tongguan. The Yellow River is different from the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. The middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River have a large water supply, wide river surface, and all the thousands of miles of shorelines can be transitioned. There are many tributaries on both sides of the river, and large warships can be gathered, and tens of thousands of troops can rush to land on a boat. There are only a small number of ferries at the Yellow River ferry, and at most hundreds of people can cross at a time. If there are thousands of enemy defenders on the other side, the hundreds of people who have crossed will be killed by the defenders in an instant.

The Chen army had previously built a suspension bridge upstream, which was a surprise soldier who was not taking ordinary roads. However, this suspension bridge connects Hedong and Longshang, which poses no great threat to Guanzhong. However, now the Chen army attacks Pujin, Yu Wenhui is very nervous. Once Chen Kefu takes Pujin, it will be equivalent to opening up the Qin and Jin passage. At that time, there will be a continuous stream of Chen army entering Guanzhong from then on and stepping onto the land of Guanzhong. Tongguan, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, will no longer be useful to the Chen army.

The Wei River flows through the Guanzhong Plain and east-west, at the bend of the Yellow River near Tongguan, it merges into the Yellow River to go east. The Wei River is different from the Yellow River. The Yellow River is fast, with mostly cliffs on both sides, and only a few ferry crossings can be transitioned; the Wei River flows slowly and the two sides are flat, and floating bridges can be built everywhere. Once the Chen army opened the Puyang passage and the army crossed west, there was no obstacle to going south at that time. Crossing the Wei River, going east and knocking behind Tongguan, and going west and going straight to Chang'an.

Pujin's role was no less than Tongguan. Yu Wenshi and his troops rushed to help Pujin, but not long after Chen Pojun took his wife and his son. He knew very well that the Chen army had previously flew bridges to connect Longshang, which had already changed the situation in Guanzhong. If the Chen army was allowed to open the passage between Guanzhong and Hedong, then Xu State would definitely destroy the country.

He must save him if he attacks him. Although Chen Pojun's move is bold, he has to save him. However, in his heart, he also has a faint expectation. He hopes that this time, he can not only solve the danger in Pujin, but also defeat Chen Pojun in one fell swoop, and it is best to capture him alive.

The 20,000 troops set out overnight and walked along the Wei River.

Tongguan travels west along the Wei River, and it takes more than 30 miles to reach the intersection of the Wei River and the Luo River. Here, the southern bank of Wei is the Guangfeng Cang, one of the six major warehouses of the Sui Dynasty. Here, you can cross the river north and go straight to Fengyi along the Luo River.

"Report!"

A scout flew over and fell off his horse when he rolled his saddle.

"Report to the King, a Chen army was found outside Chaoban City in Weibei, with about 3,000 people attacking Chaoban!"

Yuan Li hurriedly stepped forward and said, "King, as far as the last general is concerned, Chen thieves want to take down Chaoban first, and then cross the Wei River to attack Guangfeng Warehouse. There is a lot of grain stored in Guangfeng Warehouse, which has always been Tongguan and the capital granary. If they are burned by the thief, they will suffer great losses."

At this time, the sky was getting dark and it was not clear. Yu Wen and his soldiers were not tired. They drew their swords to the north and shouted: "Cross the river immediately and kill the thief Chen!"

There is only a floating bridge connecting the Wei River here, but Yu Wenshi was already impatient, for fear that the three thousand Chen troops in Chaoshang would escape after a while. He hurriedly urged the soldiers to cross the river, followed by five thousand cavalrymen and then 10,55-infantry soldiers. Twenty thousand soldiers surrounded a floating bridge and squeezed into a dense sea of ​​people.

"Hurry up, speed up! Don't let Chen Zhe get out!"

The wind roars, the horse roars, and the people are in full swing!
