No matter how Yang Wanshi has three heads and six arms, he is unable to defeat the young and heroic King of Yue Yang Tong. Fortunately, Yang Gongren's Dongdu garrison army had limited troops, while Li Dan and Wei Jin were determined to protect the Xijing garrison army that could not bear to fight again. As for Dugu Wudu and Liu Xu, they had no idea of ​​losing their lives. Therefore, although Yang Tong was full of energy, Fan Zigai and Wei Wensheng were also indomitable, but they could not control the army and could only follow the pace of Yang Gongren and Li Dan, and could not take advantage of this opportunity to quickly expand the results of the battle. "《》" ()

Jialan took the Northwest Spirit Cavalry Youge on the flank battlefield, waiting for an opportunity to kill the rebel commander, but the Golden Wolf Head's protective gear was too dazzling, and the Blood Eagle Battle Flag was too silly. Yang Xuanting, Yang Xuanzong and Li Zixiong and other senior rebel commanders all died at the hands of these Sharp Fruit Soldiers. Imagine who dared to try the danger with his own life?

Yang Xuangan was in good command and timely deployment and adjustment. His generals were also calm in the face of danger. On the one hand, they used heavy troops to block Yu Wen Shu's attack, and on the other hand, they quickly supported Yang Wanshi on the flank and tried their best to stabilize the battle formation so that they could retreat calmly after dark.

At this time, if Lai Hu'er commanded the navy to enter the battlefield and attacked the other flank of the rebels, forming a three-way attack, Yang Xuangan would undoubtedly be defeated.

However, Yuwen Shu and Lai Hu'er both obeyed the emperor, and both sides were uncontrollable. The emperor has not issued an order to clarify who will fully command the war against the rebellion. Therefore, at this critical moment, Yuwen Shu did not ask Lai Hu'er to follow up on the attack, and Lai Hu'er pretended not to know and would rather miss the opportunity to fight than take the initiative to join the war.

Perhaps, this is because the two parties belong to different aristocratic groups and have many conflicts. Or perhaps it is because Yuwen Shu had other ideas, such as not wanting Lai Hu'er, Zhou Fashang and others in Jiangzuo took advantage of it, and Lai Hu'er might not want to show off the scourge of the Guanlong people to intensify the conflict between the two major aristocratic groups.

The fighter's opportunity is fleeting.

Yang Xuangan blocked Yuwen Shu on the front. He blocked Yang Tong on the flank and successfully stabilized his position. However, his spirit was already weak and his morale was insufficient. Both sides fought to the point.

The red sun sets westward, and the time of Shen will pass.

Yang Xuangan held a horse spear in his hand and led the soldiers. He rushed bravely with his personal guards. The soldiers of the army were inspired by the commander's courage and fearlessness. The sound of killing shocked the sky and swallowed the tiger's aura.

Yuwen Shu could not get support from Lai Hu'er and was at a disadvantage in terms of military strength. In addition, the soldiers were exhausted and the morale of the army was depressed. Under the opponent's storm-like attack, he gradually couldn't support it and had to slowly retreat.

At this moment, a sudden change broke out on the flanking battlefield, and Yang Wanshi's handsome flag suddenly fell down. For a moment, everyone looked sideways and was panicked.

Yang Gongren did not hesitate and ordered the fight drum to be beaten and charge. Cui Baode and Fei Yao each brought elite troops and whistled up. The "" () blocker () was invincible.

Wei Wensheng's movements were faster. He led his personal guards to sweep towards the enemy like a whirlwind. The battle flags flying high were shouting at the top of his lungs, and the earth-shaking drums and whistles of the soldiers in Xijing were excited, like a broken river, roaring all the way, invincible.

Yang Wanshi died, dying under his own impulse.

Jialan led the Northwest Spirit Cavalry to attack his battle formation again and again, threatened his central army, disrupted his command, and finally angered him. Regardless of dissuasion, he personally commanded the two brigades of knights to rush towards the Northwest Spirit Cavalry.

His original intention was to cut off the Northwest Spirit Cavalry in the middle and then divide and kill them. However, most of the Northwest Spirit Cavalry were born as "sand horse thieves". Not only did they have a lot of experience in the battle, but they were more cunning and cunning. The more they were on the battlefield where swords and swords were at risk, the more they showed this characteristic to the fullest. At any time, they could not speculate on their offensive and defensive skills with common sense. As a result, Yang Wanshi fell into a trap. As soon as he appeared, the Northwest Spirit Cavalry was like a group of "hungry wolves" who smelled the smell of blood. A crazy attack, the rest of the wings surrounded Yang Wanshi in a blink of an eye. For a moment, the swords and spears were all gone, and arrows were fired, and there were even snow mastiffs like lightning ghosts.

Although Yang Wanshi's personal guards were escorting their own guards, the two nearby infantry corps were also brave enough to attack and kill. However, all the Northwest Wolfs were one of the tenths. The Golden Wolf Head took the head of the general from a million troops, and how could any prey escape if they were targeted by them? Yang Wanshi was not afraid. When he was young, he joined the army and followed his father Yang Su to the north to fight. He was also a fierce general who had killed thousands of troops. He thought that with his own force, he could still kill the Northwest Wolf. However, the consequences of underestimating the enemy were too serious. When he was chopped down to the ground by the Golden Wolf Head who was coming towards him, he was slapped in the throat with his claws, and when he was chopped off his head by a bloody long knife falling from the sky, he realized that his force was so unbearable.

As soon as Yang Wanshi died, the rebels on the flanking battlefield lost command, and their morale was fatal and severely damaged. The stalemate was immediately broken, and Yang Tong rushed his army to attack, with an unstoppable momentum.

However, Yuwen Shu did not decisively order a counterattack and allowed the fighter to pass by. Perhaps it was because dusk had arrived and the fierce battle was difficult to continue, or perhaps it was because of the worry that his army was exhausted, or there were many other reasons that were difficult to say. In short, Yuwen Shu ordered the withdrawal of the troops.

Yang Xuangan took this opportunity to mobilize troops and once again blocked Yang Tong's attack. At the moment when the flanks were about to collapse, he barely stabilized his position.

When Yang Gongren saw that Yuwen Shu and Qu Tutong were withdrawing from the battle, Lai Hu'er still kept his troops. He knew that today's battle had ended, so he suggested that Yang Tongming Jin take over the army.

That night, Yang Xuangan was immersed in grief, while Yang Jishan, Hu Shitan, Zhao Huaiyi, Wang Zhongbo, Yuan Wuben and others were fiercely arguing about the decision-making process.

In fact, Yang Xuangan had already made the decision to enter Guanxi west on the 20th. The reason for the Battle of Poling was that Yuwen Shu and Lai Huer came too quickly, and Wang Zhongbo failed to defend the Beim Mountain defense line, which led to the main force having to suspend retreat and act as if he was fighting with Yuwen Shu and Lai Huer to fight to the death. As long as they could repel or severely damage the enemy, the army could get rid of the pursuers and advance west quickly.

However, today's fierce battle failed to achieve the expected goals. Not only did it not severely damage the enemy, but it was hit hard and its morale was hit. At this time, if we entered Guanxi according to the established strategy, Yuwen Shu and Lai Hu'er would definitely follow closely. Then once the army was blocked from Tongguan and trapped on the front line of Wushan, it would be attacked from both sides and the big thing would be gone.

Is the army confident of taking Tongguan in the shortest time? Obviously no one has confidence. If Li Mi's suggestion was adopted at the beginning and sent a partial army to seize Tongguan first, how could he fall into a dilemma at this moment? However, this cannot be said, it is meaningless. Everyone has the responsibility and cannot blame Yang Xuangan.

Since there are many difficulties in advancing west, and even seeking death, it is better to continue fighting in Dongdu and wait for reinforcements from all over Henan to swarm. Then you can attack the enemy from front to back. At that time, you have the advantage in military strength and have two major power warehouses in Huiluo and Luokou. On the contrary, the enemy's troops are insufficient. There is insufficient food and grass weapons, and they show their disadvantages and have a great chance of defeating the decisive battle. If the Dongdu wins the decisive battle, will Guanxi be at your fingertips?

At this moment, Li Mi's letter arrived.

Li Mi predicted that the expected results of the Battle of Poling would not be achieved. He was very dissatisfied with Yang Xuangan's decision to suspend his retreat. He told Yang Xuangan that time was too tight at present, and time directly determined the victory or defeat. Since the army decided to advance westward, don't hesitate. He should advance west very decisively and resolutely, and even if Yuwen Shu and Lai Huer followed the army, there should be no hesitation or panic. As long as the army enters the line of Wushan, it can use favorable terrain to block the enemy, so that the minimum force can be used to block and delay pursuers. And the main force can be sent to attack Tongguan, and Tongguan will definitely win.

Yang Xuangan has suffered a blow and is exhausted both physically and mentally. His severe frustration makes him no longer confident and even doubt his wisdom. Li Mi has made no choice but to analyze and judge the situation and have a very accurate and forward-looking attitude. This makes Yang Xuangan unwilling and depressed, and involuntarily develop a certain degree of trust in the suggestions he has offered by Li Mi.

Yang Xuangan thought for a long time and asked a question to those who doubted the strategy of advancing west, "How many government soldiers are there in the reinforcements in Henan? Do you have the strength to defeat Yuwen Shu and Lai Hu'er?"

The strength of the army is not in the number of people, but in the combat effectiveness of the soldiers. The strength of the 10,000 government soldiers and 10,000 farmers holding weapons is not comparable at all. Yang Xuangan attacked the 40,000 Xijing army with more than 100,000 troops, but after fighting for more than half a month, he did not completely wipe out the Xijing garrison army. This is the fundamental reason.

Yang Jishan, Wang Zhongbo and other commanders in the army were speechless.

Yang Xuangan asked again, "If this is the case, Li Yuan, the left-behind Honghua, was leading the Northwest Army to guard Xijing. Then, even if someone enters Guanxi, can he occupy Guanlong as he wishes?"

Everyone was shocked and looked at each other speechlessly. Everyone was fighting fiercely in the eastern capital, but they forgot about the Northwest Army thousands of miles away. The current commander of the Northwest Army is Li Yuan. Li Yuan was able to control the Northwest Army instead of Yuan Hongsi, which obviously won the trust of the emperor. It can be seen that he obeyed the emperor. If the emperor ordered him to defend Xijing, the result could be imagined.

However, the situation in the northwest is very serious now. Under the planning of Yang Xuangan, Li Mi and others, the emperor's Western Expedition was slightly eroded by the coveted northwest captives. Therefore, unless they had no choice, the emperor would not dispatch the Northwest Army to guard Xijing. Therefore, if he wanted to successfully enter Guanxi, the army must go day and night and must first take Xijing to seize the opportunity. Otherwise, even if he entered Guanxi, he would eventually get nothing.

On the 23rd, Yang Xuangan led his army across the river and arrived at Xin'an via Cijian Road. He walked for more than 100 miles.

Yang Xuangan gave up Jinyong City, returned to Luocang, and evacuated all his troops from Dongdu.

On the same day, the Minister of Civil Affairs and the Minister of Civil Affairs and the Remaining of the Eastern Capital, the Minister of Justice and the Remaining of the Western Capital, Wen Sheng, the General of the Left Guard, Yuwen Shu, the Commander of the Navy, the General of the Right Guard, Lai Huer, the Deputy Commander of the Navy, Zhou Fashang, the General of the Right Guard, Qu Tutong, the General of the Right Guard, Li Dan, the Yin of the Jingzhao, Wei Jin, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Yang Gongren, the Chief of the Ministry of Personnel, Cui Jie, the Chief of the Prince of Yue, and the Chief of the Heyang Dugu Wudu, the Chief of the Henei County Magistrate Liu Xu and others gathered in the King of Yue to discuss the major plan of rebellion.

Li Dan, Wei Jin, Yang Gongren, Dugu Wudu, Liu Xu and others advocated the pursuit immediately and must annihilate Yang Xuangan from Tongguan and the front line of Wushan.

Yuwen Shu, Lai Hu'er, Zhou Fashang, Qu Tutong and others start from a military perspective, and combine many factors such as terrain, morale, physical strength, food, grass and weapons. It is recommended to rest for three or two days, make preparations in all aspects, and then start a pursuit. A hasty attack. If you accidentally fall into the trap of a trait, you will suffer, which will not help suppress the rebellion.

King Yang Tong of Yue was the most respected, and in name he had the greatest power, so he had to make the final decision.

Yang Tong pondered for a long time, and suddenly left the table on the pretext of noticing and turned into a detached tent.

There was only one person in the side tent, and suddenly it was the Imperial Army Captain Jialan.
