    Yang Xuangan's troops left in a hurry. By the time they were discovered in Hongnong City, the rebels had already gone far away.

    Gao Nie led 500 cavalrymen to pursue them, and killed nearly a thousand people before returning.

    In the afternoon when Yang Xuangan retreated, Huang Mingyuan drove his troops to Hongnong City.  I was also very happy to hear that Gao Nie and Yang Zhiji held Yang Xuangan in Hongnong City for two days and wiped out thousands of enemies.

    Yang Xuangan was delayed in Hongnong City for two days, which gave the Sui army in the direction of Tongguan enough time to prepare for war.  It would be impossible for the rebels to capture Tongguan by surprise.

    As soon as Huang Mingyuan arrived at Hongnong City, Yang Zhiji wanted to hand over all the military power in Hongnong to Huang Mingyuan. There was always a tall man who could reach the sky. Yang Zhiji was as eager as throwing a hot potato.

    Huang Mingyuan is really not familiar with this King Cai.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????: There are not many people in the capital who have anything to do with him.  However, after listening to Gao Nie's narration about Yang Zhiji's performance in the past two days, this gentle and gentle prince seemed a little timid and weak, but he was very decisive and perseverant when faced with major events.

    Huang Mingyuan was also surprised. He didn't expect that King Cai was good at pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger.

    " However, Huang Mingyuan doesn't intend to investigate the other party's details too much. The two have different identities, so naturally they cannot have much contact.  Come to think of it, Yang Zhiji didn't make many waves in history, which means that most of the time the other party's hiding was just for self-protection, and there was no need for him to break through the protective film on the other party's body.

    Huang Mingyuan did not stay in Hongnong City for long, but continued to lead his troops to pursue Yang Xuangan westward, and Gao Nie also went with his men, leaving only the devastated Hongnong City, which Yang Zhiji had to repair by himself.

    At this time, Yang Xuangan fled west to Jingshan (today's Lingbao West, Henan Province, also known as Fu Busan), with only 20,000 people left in his army.

    Seeing that the men and horses were exhausted and the morale of the army was in turmoil, Yang Xuangan knew that he could no longer retreat. If he continued like this, he would have to flee before reaching Tongguan. Now they needed a victory to boost the morale of the army.

    Yang Xuangan then summoned Li Zixiong and his brothers Yang Xuanzang and Yang Jishan to come to the Central Army to discuss the matter.

    Everyone was silent after hearing what Yang Xuangan said.  In fact, it is a rare thing for this group of remnant soldiers to be able to hold on to this point and not collapse despite repeated defeats.

    Hearing Yang Xuangan's words, Li Zixiong immediately said: "What Mr. Chu said is true. Our army must have an exciting victory to inspire the soldiers of the three armies. Otherwise, how can we fight again if the hearts of the people are scattered."

    Yang Xuanzang and Yang Jishan also had to admit that the current army may collapse at any time, and they must win a victory before they can continue.

    "Brother, do you have any good ideas?"

    Yang Xuangan looked at the three of them and said: "Going west from Jingshan Mountain is the final road from Luoyang to Tongguan. On both sides of Jingshan Mountain, the official road is blocked, which is a good place for an ambush. Moreover, on Jingshan Mountain, there are lush vegetation, which can also hide troops.  . Our army is in Jingshan, how about an ambush battle?"

    Everyone looked at the terrain of Jingshan Mountain and had to admit that this was the best place for an ambush.

    Yang Xuangan made full use of the terrain characteristics, set up several layers of fences, and set up three ambushes.  He named his third brother Yang Xuanzong as the "first volt"; Yang Jishan as the "second volt"; and Li Zixiong as the "three volts".  Each ambush contains three thousand troops, and the total ambush consists of nine thousand men. These nine thousand ambush men are all the last elite soldiers in the army.

    Yang Xuangan arranged to wait until the Sui army passed the end of the mountain road and entered the ambush range of the three ambushes. Taking the flag raised by the Chinese army as a signal, the three ambushes launched concurrently and attacked from head to tail. No one of the cavalry could escape.

    Three ambushes were set up in front, while Yang Xuangan's camp was stationed in Yangping Town behind the mountain (today's Yangping Town, Lingbao City, Henan Province). When the ambush was launched, Yang Xuangan led the Chinese army to attack the front of the Sui army.

    Yang Xuangan¡¯s design is not ingenious, it can be said to be as strict as an iron barrel.

    After Yang Xuangan issued the order to the generals, everyone was full of expectations. The current situation could no longer tolerate their defeat, and they had to win this battle.

    This is the rebels' last hope.

    Huang Mingyuan led his army in pursuit all the way to Jingshan Mountain. Huang Mingyuan looked around. There were many peaks and dense trees, but he saw Jingshan Mountain towering high among them. Except for an official road in the middle, there was no other path to find.

    The scouts made an investigation and reported that no soldiers were found. Only birds flew in and occasionally made a few joyous noises, breaking the silence.

    The mountainous area in western Henan to the west of Luoyang has been known as Weihanzhigu since ancient times and is a natural barrier in Guanzhong.  This dangerous area is surrounded by natural chasms. During the Warring States Period, various countries fought over it repeatedly, making it a battleground for military strategists.

    Huang Mingyuan ordered the three armies to be extra vigilant and beware of ambushes.

      Xi Ding saw that Huang Mingyuan was so cautious, so he stepped forward and said, "Mr. Wei, Yang Xuangan is at the end of his rope and is on the run. He still dares to ambush us here. Where did he get the courage?"

    "Be prepared!"

    Huang Mingyuan said: "Although Yang Xuangan has been defeated repeatedly, he is not someone who can be underestimated. The more this time is, the more important it is to prevent the other party from jumping over the wall."

    Huang Mingyuan ordered Xi Jue to lead 3,000 cavalry as the vanguard, pass the Jingshan official road first, and then meet the main force of the Chinese army.

    The army entered the official road in the mountains, formed a long snake, and filed forward.  After walking for a while, the road began to go uphill continuously. After all Xi Jue's troops passed Jingshan Mountain, there was still no sign of an ambush.

    Huang Mingyuan also doubted whether he was worrying too much.

    But at this time, Huang Mingyuan vaguely felt that there was a problem, but he didn't know where the problem lay.

    "In such a dangerous place, if it were me, I would probably take the opportunity to set up an ambush here. If I were to win, I would be able to severely damage the enemy's army."

    At this moment, a rebel spy came from the former army report, sneaking out from nowhere.  Xi Jue ordered someone to send him back to the Central Army. This man turned out to be Yang Xuangan's confidant Wei Fusi, who came here to surrender to the Sui army.

    Wei Fusi was captured by the rebels before, so he surrendered to the thieves.  Yang Xuangan entrusted him with important tasks, but Wei Fusi was not really loyal to Yang Xuangan.  After all, Wei Fusi came from a big family and looked down on Yang Xuangan's rebels at all.  Moreover, he could also see that Yang Xuangan was just at the end of his game and was not really planning for him.

    Yang Xuangan was defeated repeatedly in battles and fled all the way, fearing that he was about to die.  Wei Fusi knew very well that Yang Xuangan was trapped in Hongnong and could not move away at all. Even if the battle was winnable, it would probably only shorten the time for his demise.  Countless soldiers and horses from the imperial court are coming here, and it is only time for Yang Xuangan to perish.

    Yang Xuangan was about to die, but Wei Fusi did not want to be buried with him.

    Wei Fusi knew very well that although he was forced to do nothing, after all, he had been a thief. If he was captured by the Sui army, he would definitely not end well. Therefore, he could only protect himself by achieving great achievements.

    Last night Yang Xuangan arranged military affairs, and Wei Fusi, as a core figure, also learned about it.  After hearing this, he was overjoyed and made up his mind to use the military information as a pledge to surrender to the Sui army and change his background.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
