    Logically speaking, since Pei Wen'an's troops were heading south, Yang Liang should have directed his resources towards Pei Wen'an so that he could successfully invade Guanzhong.  But the strife within Jinyang is far beyond imagination.

    The victory of the westward advancing faction was actually the defeat of the northern occupying faction.

    Seeing that Pei Wen'an had achieved remarkable results, the northern faction actually slandered Pei Wen'an to Yang Liang, saying that he had an affair with his cousin Pei Ju and intended to surrender to Guanzhong.  Although Yang Liang trusted Pei Wen'an, the three of them became a tiger, and everyone's words were worth their weight in gold. Seeing that what everyone said had their noses and eyes, Yang Liang also began to have doubts about Pei Wen'an.

    At this time, Princess Yang Liang¡¯s brother Doulu Yu, the chief administrator of the Han Dynasty Palace, came to Yang Liang for advice.  Douluyu was the second son of Douluji, the Duke of Chu State in Shangzhu State, and the nephew of Doulutong, the consort of Princess Changle, Yang Jian's sister-in-law. He once accompanied Zhao Zhongqing in the Northern Expedition.  He originally opposed Yang Liang's rebellion, but after refusing to listen to Ku's advice, he quickly changed sides and became a rebel.

    At this time, seeing that Pei Wen'an was victorious all the way, he took the opportunity to comment on whether Pei Wen'an's victory was Yang Guang's strategy to lure the enemy deeper.  After all, the imperial court was powerful, and there were good generals like Huang Mingyuan. Once Pei Wen'an went deep into the army alone, he was likely to fall into the big net laid by Yang Guang, so he advised Yang Liang to postpone the invasion and secure the east of the river.

    At this time, Yang Liang fell into the old habit of being indecisive again. Although Pei Wen'an, Wang Yu and others advised him that Guanzhong's troops were insufficient, no one knew what the real situation was.  What Dou Lu Yu said was exactly what Yang Liang wanted, and Yang Liang was ready to accept it as soon as possible.

    Yang Liang then sent a letter to Pei Wen'an, asking him to postpone the offensive.

    Pei Wen'an was in a state of turmoil at this time, looking at everything with disdain. When he saw Yang Liang's letter, his lungs were about to burst with anger.  However, he could not disobey Yang Liang's will, so Pei Wen'an deliberately concealed Yang Liang's orders from the generals in an attempt to cross the river first and capture Pujin Pass, thus creating an established fact that the troops were pressing into the pass.

    Pei Wen'an, who was so eager, had no time to repair, so he ordered He Shangui to be the vanguard to cross the river and advance westward.

    In fact, Pei Wen'an was not ready to cross the river at this time, and the provisions and boats were not fully prepared, which was the result of rushing to the ducks.

    In this battle, Dugu Lan led his troops to make a surprise attack. If Pei Wen'an relied on his large number of troops and fought a fierce stalemate with Dugu Lan regardless of casualties, Dugu Lan, who had few troops, would have no choice but to withdraw to Pujin Pass.  Pei Wen'an has never fought in a tough battle, but only does administrative and staff work in the army.  Therefore, some people who talked on paper panicked when they saw the Sui army's large cavalry reinforcements arriving. Not only did they not fight desperately, they also mistakenly issued an order to withdraw, resulting in heavy losses for the entire army and the loss of all the results.

    In fact, after Pei Wen'an's defeat, he could never stand on the west bank of the Yellow River again.

    Huang Mingyuan walked for more than four days from Chang'an to Pujinguan, a distance of three hundred miles, mainly to get familiar with the army.  On the afternoon of August 3, Huang Mingyuan led the main force of the Chinese army to Pujin Pass.

    At this time, two full days have passed since the battle that day.

    On the first day, Pei Wen'an was newly defeated and did not know the details of the Sui army on the opposite side, so he did not dare to launch an attack rashly.  Early on the morning of the third day, Pei Wen'an found out through spies that the Sui reinforcements on the opposite side were only a few thousand people, so he couldn't sit still.  In order to seek a quick victory, Pei Wen'an immediately organized his troops to attack, and ordered He Shangui and Ruru Tianbao to lead 20,000 people each to tentatively cross the river, and he led the main force to follow.

    Dugulan used his cavalry to defend himself on foot on the west bank of the river. The Sui army was all cavalry and came and went quickly for support.  In order to take advantage of the large number of Han king's rebels, Pei Wen'an ordered the team of boats to cross the river to extend their formation and connect it from north to south for hundreds of miles, trying to take advantage of the numerical advantage to cross the river.

    Sure enough, after the rebels of the King of Han crossed the river, they attacked in unison, covering the sky and the earth.  Above the river, there are Han rebels everywhere.

    But Dugu Lan only had 8,000 cavalry under his command, and he was surrounded by enemies on all sides. The rebels had to take care of the rebels crossing the river at every point, so they could not take care of each other in front and behind, and could only defend passively.  It didn't take long for several units of the Han rebels to successfully cross the river and begin to build a beachhead.

    Dugu Lan saw more and more Han rebels crossing the river. If he waited for the opponent to establish a forward defensive position, the battle would be lost.

    At this time, Yao Junsu suggested that passive defense would be difficult to defeat the enemy, and that the cavalry should take advantage of its speed and attack proactively.

    After hearing this, Dugu Lan agreed very much, and ordered Yao Junsu and Yang Wanxiang to lead 500 elite cavalry and charge directly into the enemy's formation, trying to defeat the opponent's footing.

    Yao Junsu and Yang Wanxiang were both fierce generals, and they had participated in the Northern Expedition. Seeing that the opponent was facing the enemy's back, they relied on the speed of their horses. They suddenly came out and charged back and forth. They turned the opponent upside down and killed him until he couldn't stand.  Stay in position.

    However, there are too many rebels after all, and the two of them can only act as firefighters.

    After the two sides fought for more than two hours, Jing Yuanheng and his troops arrived and joined the battlefield, effectively supporting Dugu Lan.  At this time, the morale of the Sui army was high.In the formation, Dugu Lan asked Jing Yuanheng to lead his troops to take over the defense line, while Dugu Lan led his cavalry to fight out.

    At this time, Jing Yuanheng formed a crossbow formation at the rear, firing thousands of arrows, and countless rockets hit the rebel warships of the King of Han.

    The fire was raging and affected the troops on the shore. Pei Wen'an's troops suffered heavy losses. Around late afternoon, Zhou Fashang also led his troops to arrive, and the Sui army gained momentum.  Pei Wen'an had no choice but to order the army to withdraw to the west bank of the river.

    In this battle, the rebels of the King of Han lost more than 10,000 people and destroyed more than 200 large and small warships, further reducing their morale.

    Pei Wen'an, a scholar who paid full tuition for his own growth, felt a little afraid in his heart.

    After Huang Ming led his troops to Pujin Pass, they saw the fire still burning and corpses everywhere.  Dugu Lan successfully bought enough time for the main army to arrive, and Huang Mingyuan encouraged him again and again.

    Dugu Lan¡¯s father, Dugu Shan, died early. As the second son, his status in the family was not prominent.  Four years ago, he was just a small general. He followed Huang Mingyuan and made several meritorious deeds. Today, at less than 40 years old, he is the second youngest general in the court, with a bright future.  Therefore, he is also very grateful to Huang Mingyuan, and he is one of the few friends of Huang Mingyuan in the Guanlong family.

    Huang Mingyuan arrived at Pujing Pass and took over all power. He ordered Zhou Fashang and Jing Yuanheng to use Pujing Pass as the boundary to garrison in the north and south along the Yellow River respectively, and to hold the troops of Dugulan and Xiaoguo Army into a fist and wait.  Pei Wen'an showed his flaws.

    Huang Mingyuan also ordered his soldiers to set up an additional tent and an additional cauldron for each group, pretending to have more soldiers than a general.  Huang Mingyuan even ordered Cui Peng's troops from the rear army to enter Pujin Pass under different banners every day, and then sneak out quietly at night.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    Pei Wen'an on the other side saw the Sui army gathering more and more, and was shocked. How could the Sui army be so powerful, with such a mountainous and sea-like momentum? There must not be as many as 100,000 people.  The generals of other armies were even more frightened. They were frightened by the banners that the Sui army rushed to every day, just like the grass and trees were all soldiers.

    At this time, Pei Wen'an also felt fear in his heart.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
