"What, Mengjin fell?" Wang Shichong's face changed drastically, his eyes were lifeless, looking at Tongguan in the distance, his face full of resentment. He thought that he was also an old and cunning person, but now he fell in love with a twenty-year-old young man.

It's a trick, and it's a fairly simple strategy. Now that Mengjin has fallen, Dong Ke can attack Luoyang and take over Wang Shichong's lair, and West Ke can attack Hongnong Palace, which is the only way for Wang Shichong to return to Luoyang. Once Hong Kong

When the Nongong Palace was captured, not only did Lu Zhaoci gain access to countless armors and grains inside, but more importantly, Wang Shichong could only die trapped between Hongnong Palace and Tongguan. By then, it would be difficult to fly even with wings.

When he thought of this, Wang Shichong's face became even paler.

"This Lu Zhaoci is really the ancestor of traitors. It's so hard to guard against!" Yin Mingkong looked pale. He didn't expect that a person like Lu Zhaoci would come up with such a simple strategy. Now, not only could Tongguan not be captured,

Even his own life is hard to protect. A hundred thousand troops walk so slowly. By the time they pass Hongnong, I am afraid that the Hongnong Palace will have been captured by the opponent.

"Father, we can't wait any longer. If we don't withdraw our troops, we really won't be able to reach Luoyang." Wang Xuanying was full of panic. He had just become the eldest son of Zheng Guogong, and he might become the prince in the future, and he was even more willing to become the prince. He

I don't want to die here.

"Retreat." Wang Shichong gritted his teeth and looked at Guanzhong fiercely. Originally, this time was the best time to advance into Guanzhong. As long as he captured Tongguan, he could attack from both sides with Xue Ju and divide Guanzhong equally, using his own strength.

It has doubled in size out of thin air. Now, I won’t get anything. But on the way back, I have to be careful not to be attacked by others on the way.

It was not until dawn that Qu Tutong discovered that Wang Shichong's 100,000-strong army had been completely withdrawn overnight, leaving only countless supplies and supplies scattered in the camp.

"Wang Shichong fled in a hurry. If we pursue him now, I'm afraid we can win a big victory." Sang Xianhe said at the side.

Qu Tutong couldn't help but look towards Fang Xuanling after hearing this, but saw Fang Xuanling shaking his head and saying: "At this time, it is not the time to eliminate Wang Shichong. The general has said that this Wang Shichong is still useful. Guo Hu

After the prison, there is Li Mi. If I wait until this time to eliminate Wang Shichong and occupy Luoyang, we will have to face the more powerful Li Mi. By then, we will have made enemies on both sides, which is not the behavior of a wise man. It is better to let Wang Shichong and Li Mi

When two tigers fight each other, one of them will be injured, or both will be injured. At that time, it is time for us to attack. His Highness the King of Tang is sitting in Guanzhong, just like the Qin State during the Warring States Period. At the right time, he will surely be able to sweep away

The world." Everyone nodded after hearing this. After returning to the pass, Qu Tutong personally wrote to Li Yuan, asking him to send suitable people to guard Tongguan. While he was in Tongguan, he was cleaning up the pass defenses and strengthening the city walls, while waiting for Lu Zhao to say goodbye.

In front of the Hongnong Palace, there are many black black armors, with murderous intent. The leader is wearing golden armor, holding a long spear in his hand, with a resolute face, looking at the Hongnong Palace in front of him. It is Lu Zhaoci. The Hongnong Palace is magnificent and magnificent.

It was built by Yang Guang back then. Yang Jian thought he was from the Yang family of Hongnong. Later Yang Guang built Hongnong Palace here. Like other palaces across the country, it contained a large amount of grain, grass, weapons and armor. At that time,

Yang Xuangan once attempted to occupy Hongnong Palace and obtain the food and armor in order to make a comeback.

"It's such a pity about the grain and grass inside." Qiu Xinggong showed a trace of regret on his face. Although Yang Guang was cruel, it must be said that he still had a sense of crisis. He built a large number of grain silos across the country as strategic reserves.

These grains were later used by Yang Guang in the decades of the early Tang Dynasty. This shows how powerful the Sui Dynasty's strategic grain reserves were.

"General Qiu, although we have lost this food, we can still seize more in the future. The death squads have made arrangements, so Wang Shichong doesn't have much way to go from here." Lu Zhaoci said calmly.

"Everything has been arranged when we return to the general." Qiu Xinggong nodded and said: "My eldest brother is also ready. But, general, do you really not want to take the opportunity to kill Wang Shichong? This is a good opportunity!

"

"It's not impossible, it's impossible." Lu Zhaoci shook his head and said: "If we capture Luoyang, we will have to fight on two fronts. This is not something our army can bear. However, if we can defeat Wang Shichong for the first time, it will be

We can defeat him for the second time, or even more. This time we are not going to kill many armies, but to break Wang Shichong's heart. When we come next time, Wang Shichong will be afraid when he hears our name, and he will become suspicious. This time

The general wants him to be frightened and fearful."

Although Qiu Xinggong and others did not understand what Lu Zhaoci meant by defeating the enemy, they were still very happy to defeat Wang Shichong.

"Tell brothers, don't throw away any of those armors, especially those hundreds of sets of armors. This general will be useful in the future." Lu Zhaoci ordered.

"The last general takes orders." Qiu Xinggong responded.

"Come on, let's go meet Wang Shichong." Lu Zhaoci gave his horse a hard slap, sat down on his horse, and headed down the mountain. The army soon disappeared into the night.

A moment later, the sound of horse hooves was heard on the mountain road, and Wang Shichong rushed out first. His face was full of dust, and he looked at the safe and sound Hongnong Palace with a hint of joy on his face. There were no enemies in Hongnong Palace.

.

"Prince, the enemy has left. It seems that Lu Zhaoci mainly wanted us to go back to rescue Luoyang." Yin Mingkong sighed and pointed towards the palace wall. Wang Shichong looked over and saw that on the palace wall

The blood stains were still wet, obviously left there not long ago.

"Go, go in." Wang Shichong showed a trace of regret in his eyes. Even if he knew that Lu Zhaoci was just going back to save Luoyang, he had to come back, because Luoyang was his foundation, how could he not save him.

"The water has escaped, the water has escaped." As the night came, a roar suddenly came.

The sound rose up and spread throughout the Hongnong Palace in an instant. In order to rescue Luoyang, Wang Shichong's army marched day and night. They finally rested in the Hongnong Palace. They had fallen asleep long ago. Now they suddenly heard about the fire.

It started to burn, and I was frightened and confused for a while.

"Kill! Leave Wang Shichong alone."

"Capture Wang Shichong alive."

In the midst of the fire, the shouts of killing were earth-shattering, and two large armies were seen coming to kill them from the left and right.

"Father, let's go quickly, we've fallen into a trap." Wang Xuanying, disheveled and with a look of panic on his face, found an ownerless war horse and helped Wang Shichong climb up.

Surrounded by his own soldiers, he rushed outside the palace and killed him.
