I, Yang Guo's son, abducted Zhang Sanfeng and traversed countless worlds.

Yuwen Chengdu was knocked off his horse and had to use his phoenix-wing gilded halberd to thrust into the ground, only then did he manage to hold himself together and not roll down the mountain.

"puff!"

Before he could steady himself, a mouthful of blood spurted out like a fountain.

"Haha, die!"

Pei Yuanqing shouted loudly and hit him on the head with his hammer.

But here we can see the inconvenience of short weapons. Normal short-handled hammers are usually two feet and five inches long. Pei Yuanqing's hammer is heavy and large, but it is no more than four feet. He is on a tall horse and cannot reach Yuwen Chengdu.

Even though Yuwen Chengdu was more than ten feet tall, he only had to lower his head slightly and the wind from the hammer would pass over his head without any hindrance.

Instead, Yuwen Chengdu took advantage of the moment when the horse passed by, picked up the gilded phoenix-wing halberd, and smashed it into the hind leg of the horse under Pei Yuanqing's crotch.

The horse neighed loudly all of a sudden, and kept sitting down on the ground.

No matter how strong Pei Yuanqing was, he could only force the horse to stand up, but he could not let the horse continue to run.

He was so angry that he jumped off the back of the tiger and was ready to fight Yuwen Chengdu on foot with his two hammers in hand.

But Yuwen Chengdu was no fool, and had already taken this opportunity to mount his horse. His red charcoal dragon horse was even faster than Pei Yuanqing's horse on flat ground. Although it was a mountain road, Yuwen Chengdu did not go deep into it, but only searched and killed the remaining Wagang soldiers on the gentle slopes and in areas with sparse jungles.

Therefore, Yuwen Chengdu urged his horse to run away in a trail of red smoke. When Pei Yuanqing turned around and wanted to walk forward to kill Yuwen Chengdu, he had already run down the mountain.

"Damn it! Cowardly bastard!" Pei Yuanqing smashed two trees with one hammer, and made a dent in the ground with another hammer. But no matter how angry he was, he could only be furious in the end.

Even though Yuwen Chengdu was injured, the impact of the 400-jin phoenix-wing gilded halberd was still several thousand jin. Fortunately, the ground-grabbing tiger was agile and missed a slight angle, otherwise the whole horse leg would have been cut off.

Even so, the bones were completely broken. This BMW horse could no longer pull a cart and could only be used to pull a mill.

In Zhuadihu's current state, even if Pei Yuanqing couldn't catch Yuwen Chengdu, he couldn't rush down and kill some court officials and soldiers.

After all, ordinary horses cannot withstand his 300-pound hammer and a full set of armor.

A camel can carry people, but it is difficult for it to sprint. How can a horse that can't run rush into a crowd of people and want to kill people?
It’s good enough if we are not surrounded and killed by others.

When Pei Yuanqing returned to Siping Mountain, he found that everyone was looking at him with strange smiles.

"What's going on?" Pei Yuanqing pulled Shan Xiongxin over and asked.

"Yang Jian sent a fast horse to deliver a message, saying that our Wagang had no moral principles, ambushed and attacked Yuwen Chengdu, and let him escape." Shan Xiongxin sighed, "Now our Wagang has been isolated by all the rebel kings and has become a laughing stock."

"Damn it!" Pei Yuanqing touched the hammer, and countless sparks flew out. He pointed at the rebels and cursed: "How dare you say that to my face! You are just a coward who can only gossip behind my back!"

"Hey, what's there to be afraid of? You sneaked out and planned to launch a surprise attack to steal the credit. Are you brave enough now?"

Jinan rebel king Tang Bi jumped out and sneered: "Aren't you capable, Pei Yuanqing? Do you have the guts to fight Yuwen Chengdu one-on-one? You attacked him by surprise and let him escape. He saw through your evil plan, and you still have the nerve to curse him in the street. You have no shame!"

"You fucking bastard..." Pei Yuanqing clenched the hammer tightly, blood oozing from his eyes, and was about to kill Tang Bi on the spot.

"What are you doing? Are you so angry that you want to kill someone to silence him?" Tang Bi was not afraid at all:
"Come if you have the ability. The leader said that for your unorganized and undisciplined behavior, it is already a courtesy to you not to drive you off Siping Mountain. Don't refuse the courtesy, or you will be killed by the three fierce generals. You might as well die in Yuwen Chengdu's hands during the sneak attack!"

"Ah!!" Pei Yuanqing roared, not knowing where to vent all his strength. He threw down the hammer and turned to enter the general's tent.

"Military Advisor Xu, Lord Xu Mao, what did you say when you arranged for me to go there? Why has it turned out like this now?" Pei Yuanqing grabbed Lord Xu Mao's collar and questioned him, spitting all over his face.

"Hey, stay calm, you have achieved your purpose, right?"

Xu Maogong was calm, and even had time to wipe his face with his hands. "Yuwen Chengdu was injured by you, and the morale of the imperial army was greatly dampened. The only thing that made our Wagang famous and established the first merit was ruined by others. Think about it carefully, is this the case?"

"Eh? Eh... Eh?" Pei Yuanqing said in circles, "Don't tell me, really don't tell me. Eh, but what's going on?"

"Public opinion war."

Xu Maogong was released, and he heaved a sigh of relief. "Many things in this world are not won by fighting, but by talking. People have two skins, and they are all about it anyway.

Originally, you had made the first contribution and severely damaged Yuwen Chengdu, but the other side said that you had betrayed the troops and launched a shameless sneak attack. Although this is true, it is obviously not what we want to see. With a powerful enemy at hand, how can we care about these details? "

"You're right! These bastards, who can beat Yuwen Chengdu except me? And now you're talking to me about whether it's a sneak attack or not!" Pei Yuanqing said viciously.

"Yes. So this isn't your fault, and strictly speaking it isn't my fault either. It's just that the idiots on Siping Mountain fell for someone else's counter-espionage scheme."

Xu Maogong clapped his hands and said, "There is a master on the other side."

"What master?"

Shan Xiongxin and Wang Junke walked in.

"A master like me." Xu Maogong pulled the map over and said, "You can see how he plotted against me."

Pei Yuanqing, Shan Xiongxin, and Wang Junke all looked at each other in astonishment: "Ah? What are you looking at?"

"Alas." Xu Maogong sighed, "Yang Jian's troops are now hanging behind Yang Guang's ship, which should be behind Yuwen Chengdu. How can he know what happened to Yuwen Chengdu in front of him, and send a message along the way in advance, so that everyone knows about it?"

"Ah, no, they are gods?" Pei Yuanqing said in surprise.

"Is there a traitor in our team?" Shan Xiongxin seemed smarter than Pei Yuanqing, but not much smarter.

"I'm convinced." Xu Maogong didn't bother to explain Pei Yuanqing's stupid question, but said to Shan Xiongxin: "It's only been a few days. What kind of traitor could move so quickly, without being discovered by the people on the mountain, to give the letter to Yang Jian and then have Yang Jian send it back?"

"Then tell me what's going on!" Not to mention Pei Yuanqing, even Shan Xiongxin and Wang Junke wanted to beat Xu Maogong up.

Dog charlatan, bah!
"How did I figure out that Yuwen Chengdu and Yang Jian were allied?"

Xu Maogong swiped his hand on the map, "Look at the map. I calculated it based on their marching speed, marching route, and power comparison. So if I can calculate it, if the enemy has this brain, they can naturally reverse it." "You can also deduce this?" Shan Xiongxin expressed his disbelief, "If you calculate the marching efficiency, how can you calculate our ambush in advance?"

"It's very simple, because they know I'm here." Xu Maogong said confidently.

"They knew I was here, so they would definitely come up with a surprise plan to attack them halfway across the river, and take the initiative to attack them in order to blunt their edge. So they sacrificed Yuwen Chengdu to plot against me."

"Just brag." Shan Xiongxin's face was full of disbelief. "The leader of the rebels on Siping Mountain is the Hou Tu army. Even Xiao Pei was defeated by two fierce generals of the Hou Tu army. To put it bluntly, Xiao Pei, don't be upset. In the eyes of outsiders, Xiao Pei is not the strongest general in Siping Mountain. Do you admit this?"

"Yeah." Pei Yuanqing nodded grimly, "Sooner or later, I will fight back."

It can be seen that although he admitted it, he was not convinced.

It doesn’t matter whether you accept it or not, just admit it.

Shan Xiongxin spread his hands towards Xu Maogong, "If they wanted to ambush Yuwen Chengdu, it would be Liang Shitai, Xiong Kuohai and others who would go. How could they send Pei Yuanqing? But you can't command the three of them. What makes you say that they are plotting against you?"

"Huh, so, they sent people to injure Yuwen Chengdu first. We have powerful generals here, but doesn't Yang Jian have any?"

Xu Maogong snorted coldly, "It's not that I look down on Xiao Pei, but even if you rush down from the mountain, you can't beat Yuwen Chengdu. According to your description, his counterattack at the end is obvious. He must have been injured first and deliberately released as bait."

"Are you saying that Yuwen Chengdu has schemed against me?" Pei Yuanqing widened his eyes.

"That's not the case. How could Yuwen Chengdu, with his brain, have calculated you who was arranged by me? He himself didn't know about it."

"How cruel! He even plots against his own people?" Wang Junke gasped.

"You're wrong again. He doesn't deserve to be tricked by people of our intelligence." Xu Maogong shook his feather fan. "It was the man behind Yang Jian who used Yuwen Chengdu as a pawn to fight me. Obviously, I didn't anticipate this man in advance, and I was ambushed by him and lost."

"I see... Wait a minute?" Pei Yuanqing suddenly realized, "So I am also a pawn in your plan?"

"Hey, Xiao Pei, just be content. It's great to be a chess piece. Otherwise, what advantages do you have?"

Xu Maogong said: "Look, you can't beat Luo Shixin, Xiong Kuohai, and Liang Shitai here, and you can't beat Yuwen Chengdu in the court. Yang Jian has a strong man who can hurt Yuwen Chengdu. I heard that the Longxi Li family will arrive in the next two days, and Li Yuan's son has a son named Li Yuanba..."

Xu Maogong patted Pei Yuanqing on the shoulder and left with a sympathetic look on his face.

Then Shan Xiongxin and Wang Junke patted him on the shoulders one by one and made a gesture of encouragement.

Pei Yuanqing looked melancholy in the tent. No, I can’t even use my martial arts skills now?
"Hey, Chengdu, you..."

Yang Guang went to visit the seriously injured Yuwen Chengdu. The boy was now lying on the bed, his face pale, and it looked like he wouldn't live for many days, which made Yang Guang feel heartbroken.

On the one hand, he cursed Yuwen Chengdu as a waste in his heart, but on the other hand, he felt a little panicked.

Now he has no one else to use except Yuwen Chengdu.

Although troops were urgently dispatched from various checkpoints, the army could not march very fast. Only a few days had passed and he didn't even know whether his orders had reached those generals.

There is really no one available, and the rebels are right in front of us.

"Damn it!" Yang Guang waved his sleeves and smashed all the porcelain on the table. "Do I really have to go and make peace with that old thief?"

"Your Majesty, we should ask for peace." Yu Wenzhi said beside him, "He is your biological father. It is not shameful to ask for his family back after he is beaten."

Not only Yang Guang could no longer bear to see Yuwen Chengdu suffer repeated defeats, but Yuwen Huaji could no longer bear to see this useless emperor who repeatedly made stupid moves and caused his own son to be seriously injured.

Sometimes he really thought, why not just put it on and stab this dog emperor to death?
But thinking of the father's army under the boat, and the powerful generals who could easily injure his son, he did not dare to act rashly.

But he did not have the courage to kill the king directly. As Yu Wenzhi's patience had reached a critical point, he still dared to make a few sarcastic remarks.

In Yu Wenzhi's opinion, Yang Guang was simply angry, but Yang Guang couldn't leave his family now anyway, so he would probably be unable to let his rage end.

Unexpectedly, Yang Guang was not even angry. He leaned back in his chair and waved his hand, saying, "Ask for peace. Let my father and the others take over."

"Compromise so easily?" Yu Wenzhi was somewhat surprised.

"What else? When swords and guns are raised, people will die. If we don't let them die, will I die? Or do you, the Yuwen family, want to be loyal to the country?" Yang Guang waved his hand: "Go, deliver the letter, and then send me off the boat."

Yu Wenzhi thought to himself that you really understand your father, you are indeed father and son. You knew that Yang Jian would definitely not board the ship to "audience" with your Majesty the Emperor, and you had already made plans to get off the ship in advance.

While Yang Guang was looking for a way to retreat, Siping Mountain was also very lively.

Li Yuan finally arrived.

"Hey, there are so many people." Li Yuanba looked around curiously while carrying his hammer: "Are they all here to welcome me?"

"Brother, you should eat more and talk less. We are in someone else's territory and it is not easy to take action." Li Shimin warned in a low voice.

Li Yuanba was going to rebel. When Li Shimin said this, his voice did not lower but instead became two pitches higher: "Who said that? Why don't you fight now? Who wants to fight me? I'll beat him to death!"

"Hehe, kid, aren't you a little too arrogant?" Unlike Pei Yuanqing, although Pei Yuanqing is also a young general, he is at least eighteen or nineteen years old and looks like an adult.

Li Yuanba was just a little boy and no one took him seriously. The sledgehammer in his hand was once again treated as a piece of paper by the generals of the Siping Mountain rebel king.

"Your two brothers had us beat them like gourds before. With your immature character, why don't you try to hit me with a hammer..."

"puff!"

Li Yuanba was still wasting time talking to him. He was just not very smart. He had never heard of anyone making such a request in his life. He satisfied the rebel king on the spot and smashed his head back into his chest with a hammer.

Blood splattered.

"It's not fun. You're such a noob, your head won't stand a beating." Li Yuanba shook his head. (End of this chapter)
