Chapter 506 How can there still be Mr. Wei's bearing and demeanor who guide the country
Chapter 506
Twenty thousand elite cavalrymen, facing these disorganized soldiers with no morale, pursued them for ten miles, stopped as expected, and slowly retreated to the outside of Luokou Cang City.
There were about 15,000 remaining defeated generals outside the city. At this moment, they were dejected and were taken into custody by Jiangdu Army infantry and taken to the east of Luokou Cang City.
There is an abandoned military camp there, which has been slightly repaired and is perfect for guarding these prisoners of war.
Seeing that the war has been decided, Jiangdu's army is gathering the remaining defeated generals in Wagang Village.
Xi Ding, whose armor was stained with blood and was panting, led his generals quickly down the city wall, and the gate of Luokou Cangcheng slowly opened.
"The last general has decided to meet with Yang Liushou, the last general and a group of brothers, as well as the people of Luokou Cangcheng. I would like to thank Yang Liushou for his life-saving grace."
Yang Qian, who had already dismounted his horse and was standing on the high platform, looking around, quickly got off the high platform.
I got up from Xiding and looked at these generals. Many of them were already wearing honors, which showed how dangerous the situation was.
Yang Qian couldn't help but sigh with relief.
"Xi Lang will be exempted from the gift. Please get up quickly. Fortunately, we caught up in time. Luokou Cangcheng will be worry-free."
"In addition, I am on my way to assist the Eastern Capital this time, and will station troops in Luokou Cangcheng."
Yang Qian spoke very calmly, but there was no official document or order, but he just said that, and the elite Jiangdu army was heading towards the wide open gate of Luokou Cangcheng.
Facing this Dongdu left-behind, Xi Ding could do more besides burying his head in response.
"No! I wonder what Yang Dongdu has done for the general?"
"General Xi Lang, you and the soldiers under your command have worked hard enough. From today on, you will take a break.
Five days later, please invite General Xi Lang to lead his troops to my tent to listen to orders."
"No!" Xi Ding also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was just a small general. Since the Dongdu stayed behind like this, he did not violate Dongdu's orders.

In Dongdu, the 13-year-old Yue King Yang Tong looked bewildered at a group of distinguished dignitaries who were at least old enough to be his grandfather, and started spitting and scolding them.
What they denounced was the new Dongdu stay-at-home who came to rescue Dongdu under the imperial edict of their imperial grandfather Yang Guang.
He believed that Yang Qian was narrow-minded and unruly, and regarded His Royal Highness the King of Yue's orders as if they were nothing.
He even drove back all the supervisory troops sent by His Highness the King of Yue. Such behavior was truly arrogant in the extreme.
"…Therefore, I would like to ask Your Highness to write to Your Majesty, requesting Your Majesty to issue an order to reprimand Yang Qian and seize his military power in order to rectify the country's laws."
"General Duan, do you really want to do this?" However, the thirteen-year-old Yang Tong couldn't help but hesitate.
Grandpa Huang had even sent someone to write a letter home, telling himself that Yang Qian was his most trustworthy minister.
You have to trust yourself and use him seriously. With him around, there will be no danger in Dongdu.
But now, all the ministers in the dynasty looked ferocious, as if they all wanted to get rid of Yang Qian quickly.
"Your Highness, you are the grandson of the emperor, the bloodline of Prince Yuande, and the future unification of the Sui Dynasty will inevitably fall into your hands, but Yang Qian relies on being your majesty's favorite."
"He is so domineering before he reaches Dongdu. If he enters Dongdu, I really don't know where he will put us."
"Yes, your highness, I think that Yang Dongdu is not allowed to enter the east capital. Your highness may not know that the Jiangdu army is extremely fierce and has extraordinary combat power."
"However, they only listened to Yang Qian's orders. Now, your Majesty's troops from the Eastern Capital have moved to the south of the Yangtze River and taken away most of the elites."
"And we were attacked by Wagangzhai one after another and lost troops and generals. If Yang Qian takes control of the Eastern Capital, I will worry that the guest is strong and the host is weak."
"At this critical moment, if Yang Liubei has any malicious intentions, the Eastern Capital may change hands. And the safety of His Highness and the Sui Dynasty are also at stake..."
After the close eunuch beside him whispered in Yang Tong's ear, facing so many noble dignitaries, Yang Tong, the king of Yue, who was only thirteen years old, nodded.
"Since General Duan and Yuantaifu both think this should be the case, then let's do it."
Duan Da secretly breathed a sigh of relief, resigned as King of Yue, and had just returned to his yamen. He received a military report that Luokou Cangcheng was attacked by an army led by Li Mi personally.
Yang Qian led the Jiangdu army to the rescue, defeated Li Mi and captured more than 10,000 enemies. After that, he did not continue to the east capital, but stationed his troops in Luokou Cangcheng.
Upon hearing the news, Duan Da breathed a sigh of relief and shook the military report.
"What about the casualties of Jiangdu's army? Was it a tragic victory or..."
"The general won a great victory. Li Mi and even his flag were captured by the Jiangdu Army. The Jiangdu Army did not seem to suffer many casualties..."
Duan Da, who had just breathed a sigh of relief because Luokou Cangcheng was saved, looked even more ugly.
Since the Wagangzhai bandit army came to Dongdu, they have almost won consecutive battles without any defeat.
Your Majesty left behind elite troops to guard the Eastern Capital, but suffered heavy losses. Even he himself suffered several defeats.
As a result, as soon as Yang Qian arrived, he actually defeated Li Mi and saved Luokou Cang, which was almost lost.
As the saying goes, people are more irritating than others. Duan Da felt more and more that he, Yuan Wendu and others were right to reject Yang Qian's strategy outside Dongdu City.
Duan Da suppressed the military report and quickly sent people to summon familiar officials to discuss how to deal with it.

"My nephew?" During this period, Han Shi'e, who had been pretending to be a servant of Shan's army and had not shown up, couldn't help but bulge his eyes after hearing Shan Xiong's letter.
"Except for your nephew, who else in the world dares to call Jiangdu Jun Yang?"
Shan Xiongzhong was so happy that he filled a bowl of wine and handed it to his relative who had the same temperament as him.
Shan Xiongxin sat down on the side, picked up a bowl of wine, drained it in big gulps, and smiled coldly.
"Li Mi has suffered eight bad lucks today, ever since he killed brother Zhai and his family."
"Brothers are very upset. It's just because of Li Mi's great power and ruthless methods that we have to entrust him to Xu Snake."
"This time to seize Luokou warehouse, he made it clear that he wanted to make a big deal, so that he could offer some benefits to unite people's hearts."
"First, we defeated the imperial reinforcements from the Eastern Capital, and then we were able to eat up the Luokou granary that stored tens of millions of grains."
"As a result, when your nephew led the Jiangdu army, tsk tsk tsk... Wang Bodang took almost all of that boy's belongings with him, and Li Mi was no better. He escaped smoothly."
"Where can I still see the slightest trace of Wei Gong's magnanimity and demeanor that guided the country?"
"Today alone, several groups of people escaped in the chaos. It's a pity that old bastard Li Mi is keeping an eye on our brothers."
"Do you want me to go see my little nephew?" Han Shi'er, who had gone through a huge change in life and death, finally became much calmer.
At this moment, after draining the wine in the glass, he asked Shan Xiongxin and Shan Xiongzhong in a low voice.
"We can give this a try." Before Shan Xiongxin finished speaking, Shan Xiongzhong slowly shook his head.
