Chapter 314 Yang Guang: My grandson is just as good at fighting as I am.
As a fierce general under Lü Xiao, he naturally knew Pei Yuanqing's name; it was well-known.
At the beginning, he won a series of victories and kept letting Shan Xiongxin take credit, intentionally suppressing Pei Yuanqing, not wanting him to stand out, and not wanting Lü Xiao's men to gain merit.
But at this moment, there's no time to worry about that; winning is the priority.
"Yes……"
Pei Yuanqing said irritably, his voice full of reluctance, as he slowly moved forward on his horse.
At first, he did want to kill the enemy, but later he was suppressed by Yang You and left out. He felt disgusted for a long time and was filled with anger.
He's furious right now, so how could he be willing to go on stage?
He's not Yang You's dog, so why should he be summoned and dismissed at will?
When Pei Yuanqing went to the battlefield in a fit of anger, Xue Rengao retreated and refused to fight him.
Subsequently, Xue Ju dispatched new generals to the field, one after another, in a series of rotating battles.
They neither fought Pei Yuanqing to a draw nor risked their lives for him.
They would only fight for a few rounds before retreating, then switch to another fighter, constantly depleting the opponent's stamina.
In the ensuing back and forth, Pei Yuanqing also killed several enemy generals.
But his physical strength was also constantly being depleted.
"Good, well done!"
Upon seeing this, Yang You shouted excitedly, his face full of excitement, and clapped his hands in approval.
As expected of someone who can follow Lü Xiao, he is incredibly capable, many times stronger than Shan Xiongxin.
After today's great victory over Xue Ju, he will certainly reward Pei Yuanqing handsomely and generously.
If we can recruit him and make him our own, we can gain a right-hand man, which will give us more confidence in fighting against Lü Xiao in the future.
"Your Highness, the enemy is deliberately trying to wear down General Pei's strength."
Zhang Xutuo immediately sensed Xue Ju's intention, rode up to Yang You's side, and whispered something.
A relentless battle like this would be too much for even an iron man, let alone Pei Yuanqing.
If the fighting continues like this, Pei Yuanqing will be exhausted, and if Xue Rengao steps in again, it will be dangerous.
"I see that General Pei is getting braver and braver in battle."
After several rounds, another enemy general fell to Pei Yuanqing's hammer.
Yang You didn't take it seriously and didn't pay any attention to Zhang Xutuo's words.
All he saw was Pei Yuanqing winning, killing people, and making contributions; he didn't see any signs of physical exhaustion.
"But his stamina is also being depleted. Next, Xue Rengao should go into battle. Let's switch people to fight the enemy and let General Pei rest for a while."
Zhang Xutuo urged him again, his tone becoming more urgent.
"It's alright. General Pei is a fierce general of our Great Sui Dynasty. Why should we fear Xue Rengao?"
Yang You waved his hand dismissively, his gaze still fixed on Pei Yuanqing on the battlefield.
He couldn't tell that Pei Yuanqing had any physical exhaustion; wasn't he as energetic and active as ever on the battlefield?
One hammer blow at a time, how satisfying is that?
As Zhang Xutuo said, after Pei Yuanqing killed another enemy general, Xue Rengao charged out from the formation.
The twelve-foot-long golden spear gleamed coldly, its imposing presence like a rainbow.
After resting for a while, his strength had been fully restored, and he was full of energy, like a tiger descending the mountain.
A twelve-foot-long golden spear swung out with the force of a thousand pounds, accompanied by a whistling wind, heading straight for Pei Yuanqing's face.
Pei Yuanqing took the spear head-on, exerting force with both arms, and met it with his silver hammer, the sound of metal clashing was deafening.
Then, Pei Yuanqing swung his hammers in retaliation, each hammer moving like the wind, faster and heavier than the last.
However, Xue Rengao only defended and did not attack, giving him no chance to confront him head-on.
Back and forth they went, Pei Yuanqing gained the upper hand, his silver hammer forcing Xue Rengao to retreat repeatedly, seemingly holding an absolute advantage.
However, his stamina was being rapidly depleted by wave after wave of fierce attacks.
As Zhang Xutuo watched this scene, the worry in his eyes grew heavier and heavier.
He had fought a lifetime of wars and had seen far too many scenes like this.
On the surface, they have the upper hand, but in reality, they have already fallen into the other party's trap.
"Sound the retreat."
Seeing that the time was almost up, Xue Ju immediately ordered a retreat.
His voice wasn't loud, but it carried a confident ease, as if everything was under his control.
Upon hearing the retreat signal, Xue Rengao glanced at Pei Yuanqing, chuckled, and left without looking back.
The laughter was full of disdain and contempt.
I'll let you be smug for now, but in a few days, it will be your death day.
On the front lines of the Sui army, shouts rang out.
The soldiers brandished their weapons, cheered, and were in high spirits.
Winning the battle and driving away the enemy general is a great joy.
"Withdraw the troops and return to the main camp to celebrate our victory!"
Yang You waved his hand and addressed the group of soldiers, his face full of smugness, his mouth practically stretched to his ears.
In today's battle, Pei Yuanqing displayed his divine might, killing several generals and forcing Xue Ju to sound the retreat.
What a magnificent sight!
How exhilarating!
"Your Highness, now that our army has won, we should immediately attack Jincheng, pursue our victory, and capture the city in one fell swoop."
Zhang Xutuo urged him again, riding up to Yang You's side, lowering his voice and speaking urgently.
Xue Ju had a firm grasp on Yang You's personality; he clearly suffered a defeat on purpose, hoping to make Yang You careless.
Now is the best time to attack; this opportunity must not be missed, for it will not come again.
"General, you may not know this, but I am waiting for those barbarian thieves to come and die."
Yang You casually explained, looking confident and not taking Zhang Xutuo's words to heart at all.
This Xu Tuo said about the wheel battle, and that Pei Yuanqing would lose, but what happened?
All wrong!
Pei Yuanqing not only did not lose, but also killed several generals, causing Xue Ju to flee in disarray.
Even a seasoned veteran, he had no ambition whatsoever, was cowardly as a mouse, and timid and hesitant.
He gave the kingdoms of the Western Regions some time to come and die.
When the time comes, we will wipe them out in one fell swoop, saving us the trouble of sending troops to conquer them again in the future.
He wanted to make these rulers of the Western Regions bow down again, just like in the Eastern Capital, kneeling on the ground shouting "Long live the Emperor!" and kowtowing repeatedly.
"Your Highness, you mustn't do this..."
Before Zhang Xutuo could finish speaking, Yang You had already left with his men, leaving him only with a triumphant silhouette.
At this moment, Zhang Xutuo's back was soaked with cold sweat, a large area of it was wet.
Yang You was extremely arrogant and disdainful of everyone, and he would not listen to any advice.
Xue Ju, on the other hand, meticulously planned and dug a pit for Yang You to fall into.
Yang You will suffer this great loss sooner or later, and by then it will be too late for regrets.
Upon returning to his camp, Yang You immediately wrote a letter and had it sent to Luoyang.
He wrote several pages with great fluency and ease.
He emphasized how smoothly the Northwest campaign went and how helpless Xue Ju was under the siege of Jincheng.
How brave Pei Yuanqing was, how capable Shan Xiongxin was, and how he himself planned and strategized.
In short, the battle reports were all positive, with not a single negative word.
Before long, the rebels will be completely quelled, and we will return in triumph to the Eastern Capital.
The fast horse traveled day and night without stopping, and soon arrived in the Eastern Capital.
Yang Guang was overjoyed when he saw the battle report, and he couldn't stop smiling.
His grandson is really something else; he's just like him, with the same flair he had in his youth.
He has won so many battles at such a young age, one victory after another.
The one who inherits his throne in the future will surely be a wise and capable ruler, even more outstanding than him.
