Chapter 358

"Your Majesty, Yangzhou surrendered without a fight, and has been captured by Wang Jing..."

At this time, a person came in a hurry, opened the tent and came in, speaking in a hurried voice.

Chen Baxian was startled, "Surrender without a fight? Is what you said true?"

The person who came in to report the news was Chun Yuliang, an important minister under Chen Baxian's command. He was also a talent with few literary and military skills under Chen Jun's command.

Chun Yuliang said: "The news came from the spies from Yangzhou at a high speed, there can be no fake news!"

Wu Mingche stood up when he heard the words, and said in a deep voice: "Since Yangzhou has fallen into the hands of the Huai army, then our army should mobilize the whole army to attack Yang Guang and destroy the Sui army in front of us first!"

Chen Ba pondered for a while.

If possible, he would like to send someone to negotiate a peace with Yang Guang, and join hands with the other party to deal with the Huai army.It's just that he thought about it seriously in his heart and rejected the idea.

It is true that Yang Guang has an army of 30, but Yangzhou City has been taken by the Huai army, and his family members of the 30 army have fallen into the hands of Wang Jing.The morale of the army cannot be guaranteed.

And even if he can join hands with Yang Guang to defeat the Huai army and regain Yangzhou, the next moment, he will turn against the Sui army...

"In the land of Yangzhou, many princes are peeping. My military strength is still not comparable to these princes, and I have crossed the river to the north, and my foundation is shallow. At this time, the foundation should be stabilized..."

Chen Baxian's thoughts raced.

As the founding monarch of Nanchen, he has an outstanding military vision, and he can see that the land of Yangzhou has become a hot spot for Huaidong princes to entangle and fight, which is very troublesome.Waiting for idle forces to mix in it, it is necessary to shed a layer of skin.

And he had just retreated from Jiangnan and entered Liuhe, and his foundation was not yet solid. He would not have good results if he rashly confronted the Huaidong princes, especially Wang Jing.

Instead of this, it is better to accept it as soon as it is good, plunder Yangzhou's youth, grain and grass materials and return them to Liuhe, with Tongshan as the boundary in the east, and then expand westward.

Liuhe is not where the king's business is, it is best to occupy Luzhou, so that he can live and work in peace!
Every one of the princes and heroes who can leave their names in history and establish a career is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and the same is true for Chen Baxian.

He calculated the strength of the Huai army and himself.

Then he made up his mind and said: "Tong Zhao is right, this is a great opportunity, don't miss it, pass on the order, I will lead the army to send out troops, and fight the Sui army!"

"Siming, you lead people to spread the news of Yangzhou City to boost the morale of our army!"

Wu Mingche and Chun Yuliang took orders one after another.

In addition to their two generals, Chen Jun also had two fierce generals, Xiao Moke and Zhou Tiehu, who were personally leading their soldiers to attack and kill Yang Yichen of the Sui Army.

After Yang Guangyu's personal conquest, the morale of the Sui army did not increase much, but with Yang Yichen, Lai Huer and others' military formation methods, there were still 30 elite troops, slightly better than Chen Jun.

However, after the news that Yangzhou city was broken came.

The tables are bound to flip.

On November [-]st, Chen Baxian personally led the army to launch a general attack on the Sui army. Before the attack, he sent people to publicize the news that the city of Yangzhou was broken and the Sui army's retreat was cut off.

The morale of the Sui army's 30 troops suddenly collapsed.

Sometimes, when the morale of an elite army collapses, even the elite will become a mob.

kill!

Shocking shouts of killing rose into the sky in the wilderness. The Chen army was like a broken bamboo, breaking through the camps of the Sui army one after another. Yang Yichen and Lai Huer personally came to the front of the battle to supervise the battle, but the defeat was still irreversible.

Inside the big tent of the Sui Army.

Yang Guang's face was livid, and his sharp eyes swept across the faces of the courtiers on the left and right sides. Among them, Duan Wenzhen's beard and hair were a little gray and his expression was gloomy, while Pei Ju and Yu Shiji frowned.

Everyone in the big tent could hear the faint shouts of killing coming from outside.

"My dear friends, the matter has come to this, do you have a good plan?"

Yang Guang couldn't bear it anymore, and asked in a deep voice.

Duan Wenzhen's face was bitter, his lips trembled, and he wanted to speak, but he didn't speak in the end.

Sui Jun's current fate has nothing to do with him.

He really didn't expect that the fortified defense line around him could not hold back the Huai army's soldiers and horses, and let the Huai army's soldiers approach the city without even a big battle.

When the Huai army started digging the river, he knew that the situation was not good, and planned to persuade Yang Guang to retreat.

But Yang Guang felt that he was in charge of the conquest, and I had the advantage. He could defeat Chen Ba in one fell swoop, and then withdraw his troops back to Yangzhou in no time...

Unfortunately, he overestimated himself and underestimated Chen Baxian.

Even if he marched personally and used Sui Ting's national luck, he would not be able to defeat the enemy for a while.

Now that the city of Yangzhou has been destroyed, Sui Ting's strength has dropped to the bottom. No matter how Yang Guang wants to use the national fortune to suppress the enemy, he will be unable to do so.

In any case, he was the one who suggested that Yang Guangyu drive himself to conquer.

Therefore, Duan Wenzhen is responsible for the current situation, that is, the Sui army is facing a crisis, and it is not suitable to demote officials to pursue accountability, otherwise Duan Wenzhen would have been withdrawn by the secretly furious Yang Guang.

Sui Ting's current situation is critical, Yang Guang's trust in Duan Wenzhen at the beginning has long since disappeared, leaving only disgust and anger.

Seeing this, Pei Ju secretly sighed.

He stood up and said, "Your Majesty, there is only one way to retreat right now. After leaving 20 soldiers and horses, His Majesty will select the elite and leave immediately..."

In the big tent, after Pei Ju finished speaking, there was a sudden silence.

Yang Guang's eyes were burning, and he immediately shouted: "Leave, where else can I go at this time? I am the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, and I will go on a personal expedition. How can I abandon the army and run away in embarrassment?"

Pei Ju and Yu Shiji looked at each other, and they could see the helplessness in each other's eyes.

Yang Guang loves face, and there is a kind of unyielding in his bones. Unlike other kings of subjugation, he is not afraid of death.

However, it is not waiting for Yang Guang to show his staunch and unyielding.

There was a shocking roar outside.

Then the sky-shattering cheers roared like ocean waves.

"Your Majesty, General Lai Huer died in battle, Xiao Moke led his troops to break through the camp, and has already rushed into the camp..."

The complexions of Yang Guang, Pei Ju, Yu Shiji and others changed instantly.

……

November [-]rd.

Yangzhou Guiyan Palace, more than a dozen beautiful maids stood in a palace, waiting for the call from the palace.

At this time, a eunuch came quickly, walked to the front of the hall and whispered to a palace maid.

Then the maid hesitated for a moment, moved her lotus steps lightly, and entered the hall.

"Your Majesty, there is an important military report outside the palace..."

The palace maid glanced into the palace, her pretty face flushed immediately, and she hurriedly reported.

In the censer in the hall, wisps of ambergris were like straight lines, curling upwards, and on top of the slump, Wang Jing was lying reclined in casual clothes, and the place where he touched his hands was full of nephrite fragrance.

Xiao Yun's body was covered with a light gauze, and with a slight movement, the jade-like whiteness was revealed.

Her face was rosy, like the most beautiful peony in the world, it was completely different from the slightly bleak expression at the beginning.

When the maid came in.

She buried her cheeks in her arms, looking up a little embarrassed.

Wang Jing looked as usual, and stood up, and the maid hurriedly stepped forward to put a robe on him.

"What important military situation?"

Wang Jing came to the gate of the palace and asked in a deep voice.

The eunuch who came to report immediately bowed down, very respectful, and said: "According to the report from the Military Intelligence Department, the 30 troops led by Yang Guang were defeated by Chen Baxian..."

Inside the palace, Empress Xiao's mental strength was not weak, and she keenly heard the voices from outside.

Her delicate body trembled slightly, her expression slightly sad.
