Lai Hu'er was trapped in Nanshan County, Shanggu County. There were only a handful of troops that the imperial court could mobilize in Hebei. Almost everyone could not imagine who else could rescue Lai Hu'er except King Qin An's Far Eastern Army.
But neither Yang Guang nor the various aristocratic families wanted Wang Junlin's Far East Army to leave Fanyang County even half a step, so even if he saw Lai Hu'er being surrounded by tens of thousands of Wang Xuba's rebels, Yang Guang
There is still no intention to issue an order for Wang Junlin to send troops.
On the second day when Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty and the princes of the imperial court were furious, they ordered all the soldiers in Shanggu County to go to support Lai to protect the children. Wang Xuba's 50,000 elite soldiers sent 20,000 to make a detour and sneak attack on the city of Shanggu County. With the cooperation of internal officials,
, suddenly the city gate opened in the middle of the night, and 20,000 elite soldiers who were wandering near the county town disguised as refugees quickly entered the city.
There were originally two thousand county soldiers left in the city, but the county guard fled from another city gate with his entourage in panic, so the two thousand county soldiers offered little resistance and fled in all directions through the other three city gates.
Shanggu County and two county towns have fallen into the hands of Wang Xuba, which is equivalent to the loss of half of the county. Even after the Boling Army led by Huer is eliminated in the future, Wang Xuba can easily occupy the entire Shanggu County and become a
Following Liu Wuzhou, Liang Shidu, Du Fuwei, and Fu Gong'er, he was the fifth rebel to occupy a county. Of course, in the eyes of the court, there was Wang Junlin.
Therefore, when the news that Wang Xuba easily captured Shanggu County while being surrounded by Hu'er reached Luoyang, it was undoubtedly a shocking news to Sui Emperor Yang Guang of Luoyang City and the various aristocratic families who controlled the imperial court.
In fact, for Lai Hu'er, Shanggu County City fell into the hands of Wang Xuba. Judging from the terrain, he was truly surrounded by Wang Xuba's 50,000 elite soldiers and 100,000 rogue bandits.

Since the beginning of April, affected by the Bohai monsoon, Fanyang County has ushered in the rainy season. It has been drizzling for several days. The entire Fanyang County has been shrouded in water smoke, rain and mist, and the new willow branches on the riverside are green and bright.
, Wang Junlin was admiring the rain in the pavilion beside a small lake in the palace, while looking at the latest information that Shen Guoer had just sent over. Shen Guoer, Yang Kongchan, and Xiang Xiang were waiting on the stone table.
The scarlet green thin shirt is so bright and moving, it seems that the green color of the rivers and mountains is not as pleasant as the three girls.
A convoy, escorted by five hundred elite soldiers, entered Fanyang County in a hurry. Looking at the five hundred elite soldiers with tall heads and horses and bright armor, they were clearly the elite soldiers of Luoyang protecting Kyoto.
Almost at the same time that the convoy entered the city, Wang Junlin had also received the news. He smiled playfully and said: "The emperor sent Pei Shiju over and asked Yuan Qing to escort him with five hundred elite soldiers. Could it be that he was afraid that I would not be able to drive the imperial envoy out?"
After burning incense, the imperial envoy team from Luoyang arrived outside the palace of Prince Qin'an. Not long after, a servant came to report: "Your Majesty, the imperial envoy sent from Luoyang came with an imperial edict. Let Your Majesty go and receive the edict!"
Yang Kongchan sneered: "Your Majesty, the emperor and those people in Luoyang don't want your Majesty to kneel down to receive the order."
Wang Junlin smiled and said: "The emperor and the people in Luoyang had good intentions in letting Pei Shiju and Yuan Qing deliver the edict. Think about it, if I don't disrespect the imperial edict and the imperial envoy, after the news spreads, people in the world will think that even the famous people
Now that the Poison King has rebelled, the Sui Dynasty may be in danger of falling apart immediately. Therefore, the proper procedures and etiquette for receiving orders must still be in place."
Xiang Xiang smiled and said: "I have already asked the people below to prepare."
Wang Junlin praised: "You girl is getting smarter and smarter."
Xiang Xiang glanced at Yang Kongchan and Shen Guoer proudly, then pouted and protested: "I'm not young anymore, I'm nineteen years old. If Master hadn't said that we can only get married and have children when we are twenty-one. At the best time, I feel ashamed to see anyone."
The master in Xiang Xiang's mouth is of course Nie Xiaoyu. Whether it is Xiang Xiang, Luo Shixin, Li Yuanba, or Shen Guoer, what Nie Xiaoyu says is the truth most of the time. Even if it is incompatible with the worldly concepts or even shocking, there is no doubt about it.
Of course Wang Junlin knew why the imperial envoy came all the way to Fanyang County with the imperial edict.
Lai Hu'er led the Boling Army to retreat to Baihe County, Shanggu County, and was completely alone. Yang Guang directly sent an imperial envoy to Fanyang County with the imperial edict, which showed that in the eyes of Yang Guang and Luoyang's gang, the situation in Shanggu County had become corrupt. The stage where he had to be asked to send troops.
Shen Guoer suddenly said: "There is news from Luoyang that Pei Shiju has a lot of bargaining chips to ask the prince to send troops. How about the prince deliberately delays for a few days to put some pressure on Pei Shiju and let him take out all the benefits he should give."
"How long can I hold on to protect my children?" Wang Junlin thought for a moment and asked.
"With my ability to protect children, I captured another county seat. Although I was surrounded, I could hold on for half a month without any problem." Shen Guoer quickly answered.
Wang Junlin thought for a while, nodded, and ordered: "Guo'er, go see Pei Yuanqing and Pei Shiju, and tell them that I will go on inspection in Yancheng. I don't know when I will come back, and ask them to stay in the side courtyard of Fuzhong..."
Shen Guoer agreed and went to convey the arrangements. Yang Kongchan raised his hand to hold his hair. Mei Lai glanced at Wang Junlin with her bright eyes before saying, "The emperor and those people in Luoyang must have thought that as soon as the prince sends troops, Wang Xu will be defeated." Ba leads 150,000 rebels and can be wiped out easily!"
"What do you think the emperor will use to ask me to send troops?" Wang Junlin looked at Yang Kongchan and said with a smile.
"I guess the emperor doesn't dare to give any extra titles, and will also try to prevent the prince from taking control of Shanggu County after killing Wang Xuba." Yang Kongchan glanced at Wang Junlin, dissatisfied that Wang Junlin was testing her intelligence. .
Xiang Xiang saw that Yang Kongchan was looking at Wang Junlin with a subtle hint of seduction, and said unhappily: "That's not necessarily true. If the emperor is a smart man, he should recognize the reality. As long as the prince sends troops to Gu County, he will not retreat easily. I I guess they sent a strong Shanggu County Sheriff to control the prince..."
"Who else in the Sui Dynasty can be strong in front of the prince now?" Yang Kongchan smiled and said, "If you don't believe it, let's make a bet?"
"Let's bet." Xiang Xiang's eyes flashed with confidence, and she agreed to the bet without hesitation.
Xiang Xiang was so confident that Yang Kongchan hesitated a little. However, seeing Xiang Xiang deliberately showing contempt in his eyes, he said without any sign of weakness: "Okay, let's just say this. If I lose, I will buy something in the county last month." I will give you this girl my mansion as a dowry, but if you lose, you will call me aunt when you see me in the future."
