Chapter 335
Qingzhou was broken and Du Chong died.The entire East Jingdong Road can be said to be a mess.Who made Zheng Ma just a defensive envoy? Even though the government in Denglai and Denglai sold his face, he was not justified by Du Chong after all.

So Weizhou was destroyed without attack, and all the local officials fled eastward before Liangshanbo's army arrived.

In just a few days, the forward troops stayed at Liangshan in Zizhou, but now the forwards have gone straight to Ye County.This is the place where Laizhou is governed.

The East Route Army is in full swing, and the South Route Army has also made good progress.Yang Zhi sent Suo Chao to attack Haizhou City.This Haizhou became Lianyungang City in later generations and was affiliated with Huainan East Road.After Yang Zhi transferred from the Huaiyang army to Yizhou, he went north along the Yishui River, but unexpectedly a Haizhou army was killed behind him.The leaders of the army were Yang Wen and Xiang Yuanzhen who had surrendered Xuzhou without a fight, so the two sides faced off in Tancheng Township.

This Tancheng used to be a county government in the previous dynasty, and its establishment should have started in the Tan Kingdom more than 2000 years ago.During the Han Dynasty, Tancheng was once the seat of counties, counties and Xuzhou Governor's Department.In the first year of Zhenguan, the province entered Xiapi, which was called Tancheng and Township. "Tancheng" as the name of the administrative district first appeared here.When Yuanhejian (806-820) restored the county, it was named Tancheng County after the township.Then the province entered Yizhou so far.

Although it is gone as an administrative unit, the city left over from ancient times is still there.It was the first line of defense for the soldiers and horses of Yizhou Prefecture to block the Liangshan Army.At the same time, Yanzhou's officers and soldiers Minyong also began to enter Xuzhou, intending to cut off Yang Zhijun's transportation line.They dare not enter Jeju Prefecture, but dare to come to Xuzhou to find a sense of existence.The reinforcements from Mizhou were also gathered in Yizhou and stationed in Tancheng. In addition to the Huainan reinforcements from Shanghai, it can be said that what Yang Zhi faced was the only remaining army from the old Zhao family in the area from Huainan to the southern part of Qilu. The horse is gone.

Yang Wen and Xiang Yuanzhen knew that the morale of their soldiers and horses was not high, and there were many fierce generals in Liangshanbo, so they didn't dare to call for a battle for fear of damaging their vigor, so they just raised their troops to fight.However, the officers and soldiers in Huainan were really unbearable, and even the remnants of Yang Xiang and his men were terrified.In the first battle, with three trumpet cannons, the Liangshan army pressed directly from the middle, and the left and right wings flew together.It's a very simple tactic, but Liangshan's soldiers are strong, their morale is strong, and their fighting spirit is high.Hearing the sound of the order, they charged forward in a dark manner.Although the officers and soldiers were not in chaos, they lost three points first.Waiting for the left and right wings of the Liangshan army to catch up, the golden drum behind them shook.Deng Fei led a group of cavalry to attack the back of the Huainan army. The Huainan army was attacked from the front, the rear, the left, and the left.

Fortunately, soldiers from Yizhou Prefecture and Mizhou Prefecture arrived, so Yang Zhi had to call back some soldiers and horses. The iron cavalry led by Deng Fei only rushed for a while, then retreated to a high ground, alerting the northern army.

As a result, the Huainan officers and soldiers who were forced on three sides here, like running water with a hole in their mouth, all broke up to the south.

The Liangshan people only chased and killed them for a while, and then called Jin to withdraw the army.

The Huainan troops led by Yang Xiang retreated into the stronghold one after another, losing one-fifth of their numbers.I was very depressed.After discussing with the two generals, they led their troops to move north along Mushui for ten miles, and stationed their camp at the southeast corner of Tancheng, far away as a corner.

The Huainan army suffered a defeat, and their morale was even lower. They also stayed together in the camp for the next few days. Yang Wen and Xiang Yuan led the soldiers to dig trenches and build fortifications all day long.For five or seven days in a row, there was no movement in the Liangshan barracks.

Yang Wen sent someone to inquire, and reported to Yang Zhi that three large camps had been built there, and the gates of the camps were closed all day long, and they just kept devouring the carts and horses that came behind to carry the grain and fodder.This had to make Yang Wen think about whether the Yanzhou Army's actions were effective.Then send people to inquire about the food escorts, they are all old and weak soldiers.We are still transporting captives backwards.

Not long after, Xiang Yuanzhen came to the big tent to discuss matters and said, "Your distant brother is closed in and can't leave the camp. He's so anxious! He has to carry grain all day long. Is he trying to make money from us?" Yang Wen laughed and said, "You Now that the old man understands it, why should we pay attention to him? Since he wants to make us go to war, he must be impatient. I'll wait for a few more days to hold on and see what he does? I can't guess that in three days, Yang Zhi will lead the rebels to challenge him. , just ignore him in everything." Xiang Yuanzhen said: "If he uses a small team to challenge, he is afraid of tricks. If an entire army attacks, we must not miss the opportunity." Yang Wen laughed.

They also told them to guess right, the next day in Yang Zhi camp, Qin Ming and Luan Tingyu brought about 500 troops and came outside the camp to challenge.Yang Wen and Xiang Yuanzhen just don't agree.If they are close, they will only shoot flying rocks and random arrows.The Liangshan soldiers and horses did not make any effort, so they went away after a while of shouting.Seeing this, Yang Wen felt more and more that Liangshan soldiers were impatient to defend now, and only sent troops to lead the battle, how could they come out so easily.He also specially sent people to report the friendly forces in Tancheng.The latter also deeply agrees.

This stalemate lasted for three more days, but a flying horse came to report and delivered a message.There are 4000 troops on the road, under the banner of Suo Chao, the vanguard of Liangshanbo, who have crossed Mushui and are heading southeast. Now they have reached the border of Quyang Town and are only fifty miles away from Haizhou.

When Yang Wen heard about it, he was taken aback, and immediately summoned Xiang Yuanzhen to the tent for a meeting.When Xiang Yuanzhen heard that there was a group of troops heading east from Liangshan, apparently to attack Haizhou, he looked at Yang Wen and was silent.This is Yang Zhi's powerful technique. They stared at Liang Shanjun day and night, and none of them dared to relax. They didn't know when and where they would send out a troop.

Yang Wen slapped his hands on the table and said: "What a vicious strategy. Liangshan bandits always marched and liked to pretend to be officers and soldiers to avoid trouble along the way, but this time he played the Liangshan banner clearly. He must have expected that the area around Haizhou was empty, but deliberately Let us know. If we don't return to rescue, the food and grass will be cut off, not to mention that many soldiers' families are also in Haizhou, and they will have no intention of fighting. But if we return to rescue, Yang Zhi will take the opportunity to attack Yizhou. "Speaking, with his hands behind his back, he paced up and down in front of the tent, sometimes raising his head and looking at the sky for a long time.

Xiang Yuanzhen couldn't help asking: "Then it's too late to save them now." The family is only fifty or sixty miles away from Haizhou, and they are still hundreds of miles away from Haizhou.

A few days later, Suo Chao returned victorious and captured the Zhizhou and Tuiguan of Haizhou, but the judge escaped one step earlier.Push these two people in front of the Huainan army camp, and the news of Haizhou's fall can no longer be concealed.The morale of the Huainan army was so low that Yang Zhi led his troops to storm the Huainan army camp that night. At any rate, there were more than 1 soldiers and horses in the Huainan army, but the Huainan army was as fragile as an egg hit by a stone.It collapsed immediately, vulnerable to a single blow.

In the rebellion, Yang Zhi followed Yang Wen closely, "Find the horse, shoot me an arrow—"

The blue-faced beast has its own ruthlessness. When Yang Wen jumped off the frightened horse and was surrounded by Yang Zhi and his men, he really wanted to ask Yang Zhi: "How much do you hate me?" Me?" At the beginning, it wasn't that he didn't think about supporting Yang Zhi, it was that Yang Zhi himself rejected the opportunity to serve in the Western Army, which made Yang Wen very angry at the time.He even thought that Yang Zhi was greedy for life and afraid of death, so the trouble was very unpleasant.Coupled with the historical origin of the side branch and the direct line, it is a passerby from now on.

But even passers-by, they all have the same surname Yang.With broken bones and tendons still attached, is it necessary for Yang Zhi to pursue him so relentlessly and even ask others to shoot arrows at him?
Classmate Yang Wen put his hand on his back and pulled it hard. After a muffled groan, he threw two bloody arrows on the ground.From beginning to end, his right hand never put down the spear.Looking at Yang Zhi, his eyes were shining fiercely.

But the green-faced beast had a smile on his face: "Don't think that Sajia is harming you. Letting you go is really harming your life." For a veteran of Yang Wen's level, even if he loses the battle, he can't kill him with a single blow. Beheaded, or shelved and no longer used.With the current situation of the old Zhao family, Yang Wen would inevitably have to wear armor again and go into battle after escaping back, but he would no longer have the title of Jiedushi on his head.

In Yang Zhi's view, this is what really hurt him.Not everyone wanted him to be so merciful, if the random arrows just now hadn't been aimed at the horse, Yang Wen would have been caught as a target.

"Let's just capture him with nothing to do, and be a prisoner obediently. If you don't mind, kill him again and ruin your life." Yang Zhi's tone was very proud.But a basin of cold water was poured on the angry Yang Wen's head, and while he was still thinking, seven or eight scratching hooks had already been thrown.The soldiers exerted their strength together, don't say that the stumbling tiger is already half a hundred years old and still injured, even when he was young, he definitely could not match the strength of seven or eight healthy soldiers in the army.At that moment, he was dragged to the ground, and the surrounding soldiers rushed up and captured him.

When Yang Wen was bandaged by the military doctor and sent to a military tent, he saw his old friend Xiang Yuanzhen.The latter is also disgraced, but has never been injured.Xiang Yuanzhen looked at Yang Wen and snorted angrily: "Your brother is really thorough, he dug a good trap on the road." He just fell into the trap.Yang Wen smiled awkwardly.

It's true that Xiang Yuanzhen was furious, but his anger was more artificial, and he was looking for a topic to be happy.Compared with the brothers Sun Li and Sun Xin in Dongping Mansion, and Mrs. Gu, they are nothing compared to the big witch.

"Dog thief, dog thief. The Great Song Dynasty is ruined in the hands of his generation." Sun Li's beard was furious, like an angry lion locked in a cage, he felt his whole body It's about to explode, but I can't do anything to my enemy.

Mrs. Gu sneered coldly from the side: "It's all in this situation, uncle still cares about Song Jiangshan very much. The emperor in Tokyo city will not pity us at all."

How could Sister-in-law Gu not be angry? She was a big bug. If she had a gentle and pleasant temper, how could she get such a nickname?

"To this day, the government and us are already enemies. If that's the case, why not take refuge in Liang Shanbo? Could it be that Uncle really wants to be loyal to the court?"

Mrs. Gu's shouting made Sun Li smile miserably, Yuzhong, he is a fool. "Your brother and sister are joking. I have already become a thief who cheated on Liangshanbo, so how can a thief go to be loyal to the court?"

"Everything in the past is done."

"This Liangshanbo has treated us very politely for a few days. The master of Lu Village is extremely benevolent and righteous, but if he can tolerate us, he will do the hard work of dogs and horses in the future, and he will have no regrets in life or death."
