Less than half of the remaining troops were brought, and most of them were wounded.

Let's talk about Li Zitong first, when he passed through Yangzhou with less than [-] Fengming troops.

Suddenly, shouts of killing were heard everywhere, and countless Sui troops rushed out from the left and right.

Li Zitong, who was already exhausted, froze on the spot.

In the end, it was Wu Yunzhao and Wu Tianxi who endured their injuries and took him out.

It's just a pity that Mao Wenshen died directly in the chaos.

In the final Fengming army, only two brothers Li Zitong and Wu Yunzhao remained.

Li Zitong wanted to cry but had no tears, he never thought that he would end up like this.

Xiao Mian on the other side is not much better.

When he entered the southern part of Jingzhou, when he was under his own power, he was ambushed by the Sui army headed by Zhang Xutuo.

That is Zhang Xutuo, one of the famous generals of the Sui Dynasty.

During the chaos, Xiao Xian lost an arm, and Cen Wenwen was stabbed blind.

The three accompanying generals were all killed in battle, and the remaining 3 troops were also annexed.

Only two or three hundred people survived, leading Xiao Xian into the forest.

By the time they returned to South County, no one knew how many days had passed.

The worst was undoubtedly Zhu Can, who didn't know that Nanyang had been breached.

When he returned to Nanyang, Luo Cheng led his troops out of the city and killed Zhu Can with a single shot.

He is using the corpse to let the people of Nanyang vent their anger.

The rest of the rebels were either completely annihilated when they were ambushed by the Sui army, or none survived.

Many small forces were completely wiped out in the process.

After this battle, the rebel army was severely injured, and it may be difficult to recover in ten years.

......

Chang'an Daxing Palace, Daxing Palace.

Routine meeting.

All civil and military personnel gathered in the court hall early in the morning.

And all of them had solemn faces, which made the atmosphere of the court very depressing.

Yang Zhao walked in from the side door of the main hall.

"Your Majesty, see Your Highness."

All civil and military salutes.

"Exemption."

Yang Zhao sat on his special futon and said calmly.

"Your Highness, I heard that His Majesty was ambushed in Siping Mountain, please send troops to support him immediately."

Su Wei was the first to go out.

The Siping Mountain battle ended so quickly that Chang'an only received the news that the rebels were besieging Siping Mountain.

Yang Zhao remained silent, and calmly looked at the civil and military people below.

"Your Highness, the matter is urgent, please make a decision immediately."

After that, Pei Yun also stood up.

The rest of the civil and military officials in the court also echoed.

Everyone has the same opinion on sending troops to rescue the army going south.

Now these civil and military people also know that there is a change in the rebel army, and they are rushing to the south.

And there are quite a few troops dispatched.

"Don't worry, everyone, just wait and see."

Yang Zhao pondered.

Upon hearing this, everyone was dumbfounded.

What time is it, and we have to wait and see?

With 70 rebels besieging Siping Mountain, it may not be long before Siping Mountain will be breached.

After all, the army going south is only 40, and the gap in strength between the two armies is not small.

"Your Highness, if you delay for a moment, Your Majesty will be in more danger."

Su Wei said with sweat profusely.

Yang Zhao remained unmoved, even though the rest of the civil and military forces followed suit.

After a long time, the hall suddenly fell into a deathly silence.

"Your Highness doesn't want to usurp the throne, does he?"

Seeing Yang Zhao who was unmoved at all, this idea suddenly popped up in the hearts of all the civil and military personnel.

Otherwise, how could Yang Zhao remain unmoved?

"rustle..."

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps.

Then I saw Li Cunxiao, Shan Xiongxin and others in armor walking in.

"See Your Highness."

After the two came in, they bowed to Yang Zhao.

"Ah."

Yang Zhao nodded and motioned for the two to report directly.

The faces of Su Wei and others changed, because no one knew about Li Cunxiao and others sending troops.

They all believed that Yang Zhao probably wanted to usurp the throne, otherwise why would he have sent his cronies to send troops privately?

Chapter 164 Wang Shichong's guess, could it be that the prince had expected it?

The atmosphere in the court hall suddenly became dignified.

No one knows what happened.

"Say it directly."

Yang Zhao said lightly.

"promise."

Li Cunxiao took the order.

They came back in a hurry after the Siping Mountain World War I.

"The army going south was ambushed by rebels in Siping Mountain, with a total of 70 people."

Reported by Li Cunxiaohui.

Hearing this, all the civil and military personnel present gasped.

The rebel army with a strength of 70 is quite large, and the army going south is only 40.

And it was still ambushed, the situation can be imagined.

Su Wei, Pei Yun and others are ready to go out and persuade Yang Zhao to send troops to rescue again.

"But the last general has successfully defeated the rebels according to His Highness's instructions, causing them a lot of losses."

Li Cunxiao continued.

As soon as these words came out, Su Wei and the others, who were about to open their mouths to speak, immediately swallowed the words.

"what?"

All the civil and military personnel present exclaimed in unison.

The rebel ambush with 70 troops was quickly resolved, and the losses were heavy.

"This..."

Many civil and military officials looked at each other in blank dismay, unable to believe the news.

"Beheaded and captured the rebels, more than 30 people."

Shan Xiongxin then reported.

"hiss..."

Everyone in the court gasped when they heard this number.

A total of 70 rebels can still wipe out 30 people. How exaggerated is this?

For a while, there was a lot of discussion in the court, and some people even suspected that the news was true or false.

"What about Your Majesty?"

Yang Zhao asked.

"This is His Majesty's order."

Li Cunxiao directly submitted the handbook.

Yang Zhao took it and handed it to Su Wei, motioning him to read it out.

Su Wei took the handwriting and read it in front of all civil and military personnel.

When he read it out, his expression was very strange.

Because the First World War in Sipingshan was over, Yang Guang would continue to go south and hand over the government affairs to Yang Zhao.

If there is no special seal for the emperor, Su Wei must doubt the authenticity of the handbook.

After reading it, Su Wei showed it to the rest of the civil servants.

In fact, Yang Zhao entrusted Su Wei to read it to prevent these civil and military people from thinking too much.

"Your Highness, what is going on?"

After digesting the news, Su Wei hurriedly asked.

This back and forth has completely confused them.

It is true that Yang Guang went south, and Yang Zhao indeed arranged for people to go south with the army going south.

It shows that Yang Zhao knew about the rebels' actions in advance. Isn't this using Yang Guang as a bait?

It's just this guess, Su Wei and the others couldn't believe it.

"Everyone."

Yang Zhao stood up and walked to the center of the court hall.

He told all about Siping Mountain this time.

After listening to it, all the civil and military people below were shocked and couldn't believe what they had just heard.

Yang Zhaozhen used Yang Guang as a bait to create the layout of Siping Mountain.

One can imagine how dangerous it is.

"Your Highness, this matter..."

Su Wei hesitated.

He wanted to say that Yang Zhao's move was a little outrageous, but he swallowed it back.

Facts have proved that the battle of Sipingshan was successful, and Yang Guang also agreed to the matter.

"It's a pity that taking such a big risk only wiped out 30 rebels."
