Outside a grass hut in the remote part of Tiankeng Mountain, a senior general of the Zhou army was tied. Tang Cizhong and Zhou Zhang were impressively listed, as well as several brigade-level generals such as Zhou Hui.

Tang Cizhong's face was like ashes, he smiled miserably, and comforted himself in a hoarse voice: "I am not unjustly defeated." ”

He said it to Zhou Zhang and others, who were also tied to him. The people who captured them here were obviously supermen, and there were quite a few of them. Even if they don't win, the other party's superman intervenes in the mortal war, and they are already defeated and invincible.

But where these supermen came from, they couldn't guess. After the other party arrested them, they did not ask questions, nor did they humiliate, nor did they give them water and food, but tied them here to be bitten by ants and mosquitoes, as if they were left to fend for themselves. After four or five days of hunger and thirst, even if everyone is a martial artist with good skills, their lips are chapped and dying at this time.

Zhou Zhang didn't answer, but the conversation was picked up by a person from far and near, "Haha, Manager Tang seems to be unconvinced." Even if our superman doesn't make a move, do you think you have a chance to win?"

The one who answered the phone was Chen Kun, who was in high spirits.

Chen Kun's appearance surprised Zhou Zhang and others. Tang Cizhong's eyes tightened, and he suddenly realized, "I see." ”

Chen Kun looked at Tang Cizhong with a smile, "I have long heard that General Tang is a famous general of the Great Zhou, and his ability to command troops is second only to the Military God Emperor Fu Ying in the Great Zhou. Sure enough, it lives up to its name. I won't talk nonsense, General Tang is willing to serve my Chen State. ”

Tang Cizhong smiled, "The reason why I haven't died until now is because I want to know who is plotting against me." Chen Kun, I expect that the Danxia Gang will die, and you will soon follow in my footsteps. After saying that, luck shattered his heart.

"Danxia Gang, it turned out to be the superman of the Danxia Gang?" Zhou Zhang realized later.

Chen Kun looked at the angry Tang Cizhong with regret, and sighed: "What a loyal martyr, but it's a pity to follow the wrong master." Hehe, whether my Danxia Gang can go to the end, I can't guarantee it. But if you want to say that I will soon follow in your footsteps, General Tang, you can go to the Netherworld to dream. Chen Kun apparently took Tang Cizhong's prophecy as a curse.

"Uncle Zhou, what about you?" Chen Kun turned to Zhou Zhang.

Zhou Zhang stared up at the sky and was silent. Chen Kun also waited patiently and did not rush.

After a while, Zhou Zhang looked back at Chen Kun, "Do you know? Some people in my country have known about your plan for a long time, but unfortunately, no one believes it." ”

Chen Kun was taken aback, "Nanping Marquis Huangfu Ying?"

Zhou Zhang shook his head, "No." Give me saliva to drink first. ”

As soon as Chen Kun beckoned, someone immediately brought a scoop of cold water. Zhou Zhang took a few sips happily and restrainedly while holding the soldier's hand, and breathed a long sigh of relief, "Grandma's, it turns out that the water is better than the wine." Zhou Hui and the others swallowed the saliva that was almost non-existent, envious.

Chen Kun asked in a harmonious voice, "Uncle Wang, can you say it now?" As long as Zhou Zhang said it, it was equivalent to surrendering to Chen Guo. So Chen Kun is looking forward to it. Because Zhou Zhang's surrender is very different from Tang Cizhong's surrender. If Tang Cizhong surrenders, Chen Kun can get a general. And the descent of Zhou Zhang, because of his royal status, can do a lot of articles.

It seemed that a mouthful of water made Zhou Zhang recover a little strength, twisted his neck, and then said slowly: "You come here with your ears." I don't want my subordinates to hear it. ”

Chen Kun was overjoyed, defenseless, and really put his ear close to Zhou Zhang.

Zhou Zhang suddenly stretched out his head and bit hard at Chen Kun's neck.

Chen Kun's reaction was quite fast, and he was surprised that Zhou Zhang's speed of stretching out his head was wrong, so he quickly dodged. The carotid artery dodged and did not let Zhou Zhang bite it, but he was still bitten by Zhou Zhang. screamed in pain, and his fist subconsciously bombarded Zhou Zhang's neck. Click, Zhou Zhang's neck broke in response.

Chen Kun jumped away, not angry. calmly exercised the exercise to stop the bleeding, and then took the hemostatic ointment from the panicked guard, wiped it a little, and left it alone. Danxia Gang's elixir tonifying ointment, the effect of hemostasis and muscle building is famous.

Chen Kun sighed, "Why bother? Uncle Wang is a royal family, I shouldn't have done this too much, it's my fault." But with so many of your men, they will always be willing to surrender. Speaking to the dead, Chen Kun seemed to be very serious.

Except for Tang Cizhong and Zhou Zhang, Chen Kun felt that the rest of the people were not qualified to be persuaded by his efforts, so he directly pulled out his waist knife and pointed at the person on the side, "If you want to surrender, you will speak out and give you three breaths." ”

The man glanced at Chen Kun coldly, tilted his head, and looked at the sky, the northwest sky, where there was a home and a family.

Just after the third breath, Chen Kun slashed the man with a knife

Throat, dodging the blood that spurted out, pointed the knife at the next person again. Sure enough, there are still people who are willing to surrender, and among the seven or eight people, four people are willing to surrender, including Zhou Hui.

After asking the identities of several people who were willing to surrender, Chen Kun killed all three, leaving only Zhou Hui.

Chen Kun said frankly, "General Zhou, if Tang Cizhong is willing to surrender, I will not kill any of you generals, because I will leave him as a thug." It's a pity that Tang Cizhong didn't surrender, and I can't look down on your ability, so I had to wronged them to die. You're a smart man, you should know what I'm keeping you for?"

Zhou Hui nodded, "I don't have Uncle Zhang's prominent status, so naturally I can't be a sign of your conquest of the Zhou royal family." I think my role is probably to cheat. As long as His Royal Highness the Prince of the World spares my life, despite the order, the little one will do everything. ”

Chen Kun laughed, "That's good." patted Zhou Hui on the shoulder, "I like to understand people." He instructed his subordinates to take Zhou Hui down to eat and rest, and did not lock his acupuncture points, not worrying about him escaping at all.

Soldiers are fast. Chen Kun was originally ready to unite with Tianfeng to immediately move his army north, so he summoned all the generals to give orders. But as soon as he explained the purpose of gathering everyone, before he gave the order, the general in charge of the baggage reported, "Lord Steward, Tianfeng has given us limited grain and grass, and for the sake of realism, when the pretend rout is defeated, it is either lost or burned. We have no food. ”

Chen Kun's heart tightened, "Didn't we already have grain in Shannan County?" The first thing Chen Kun did when he arrived here was to order his men to go to a secret place to transport grain. Could it be that the grain convoy has been plundered?

"The grain convoy went, but the place you said was empty, and there was not a grain of grain. There were no guards in sight. ”

A large amount of grain and grass, enough for tens of thousands of troops for half a year, unexpectedly disappeared. Chen Kun suffered a blow to the head, and his eyes were full of gold stars. The soldiers and horses go first before the grain and grass are moved, and how can they fight without food. It was impossible for the baggage officer to dare to deceive him, Chen Kun had to accept the reality, and asked Danxia to help Superman go over to investigate in detail, while meditating. The fighter plane is fleeting, and when Zhou Guo reacts, he will completely lose the first move that he has won so hard.

Chen Kun had no choice but to ask Brother Bai Chao, the head of Tianfeng's Northern Army, to borrow grain. He thought that this was a matter of cooperation between the two families, and Brother Bai Chao would help him no matter what.

However, Brother Bai Chao, who has always been very talkative, unexpectedly refused this time to Chen Kun.

Bai Chaoge's reason was that he didn't have much food, and if he lent it to Chen Kun, the war would only turn into a short-lived battle. Because the Yanhu Lake of Zhou Guo has obviously been looted by the Zhou army, it is difficult for the Tianfeng army and the Chen army to obtain food. Since it can't last, it makes no difference whether you can enter the Yingchou Mountain Pass or not, and it is impossible for Zhou Guo to sit idly by. As soon as the reinforcements of the Zhou State arrived, and if their logistics could not be supplied, they would definitely follow in the footsteps of Tang Cizhong.

In fact, a lot of grain was also captured by the Zhou army, but Bai Chaoge was only willing to give a small part to Chen Kun. There were so many soldiers in the Zhou army, not many were killed, and most of them became prisoners. This place is the Tianfeng Realm, and the captured materials were all taken by Brother Bai Chao. Brother Bai Chao said that the captives still had to eat, and they all starved to death, wouldn't it be in vain to capture so many people.

is reasonable, so that Chen Kun is speechless. The word 'aftermath' made Chen Kun even more frightened, could it be that the grain was robbed by people sent by Tang Cizhong? No matter how anxious Chen Kun was, he had to wait for a while and let the country hurry up to raise grain.

The change in Bai Chaoge's attitude made him not dare to stay in the Tianfeng Realm for a long time, and immediately led the army to retreat to the territory of Shannan County of Chen Guo, which was close to the Yingchou Mountain Pass.

As soon as Chen Kun moved, Brother Bai Chao also moved, and raised troops to march towards the Yingchou Mountain Pass.

This delay gave Zhou Feiyan time. Zhou Feiyan rushed to Yanhu to meet with Lu Tai, and summarized the information they knew, and both of them were sure that something must have happened to the Southern Expeditionary Army. On the one hand, a large number of scouts were sent to step up the investigation, and on the other hand, they hurriedly deployed heavy troops to defend the area of Yingchou Mountain.

Chang Shan did not receive Tang Cizhong's eagle letter, but he received Zhou Feiyan Lutai's eagle letter every day, and the news became worse and worse. Zhou Cang panicked and urgently summoned Ling Shanhe and Sun Shuyang to discuss the matter.

Ling Shanhe saw that Huangfu Ying had not arrived, and arched his hand and said, "Your Highness, didn't you invite the Marquis of Nanping?"

Zhou Cang said embarrassedly: "Isn't she reluctant to go to court?"

Ling Shanhe was a little hateful, and said calmly: "This is not the time to be angry, and His Royal Highness, as a prisoner, should not be angry about it. Let's go, we're going to meet her. Ling Shanhe's heart was actually panicked, but he had to be calm, otherwise, Zhou Cang would be even more at a loss. Ling Shanhe couldn't make the Manchu Dynasty feel that Zhou Cang had no concentration at all.

Several people hurried to the Nanping Marquis Mansion, just as Huangfu Ying walked out quickly, and the two sides happened to meet at the door.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Ling Shanhe, "What are you?"

Huangfu Ying, "What are you?"

Unison.

Zhou Cang hurriedly said: "Auntie, something has happened to the Southern Expeditionary Army. ”

"I know, Feiyan sent me an eagle letter. It's not just the southern expeditionary army, but something happened in the south, haven't you received the eagle letter?"

Zhou Cang and Ling Shanhe were stunned. Huangfu Ying has received the eagle letter, why don't they know?

At this time, the sound of horses' hooves sounded behind him, and a janissary guard caught up, shouting from a distance, "Your Highness, the Zhennan Army is in a hurry." ”

Zhou Cang's personal guards hurriedly turned around to take the eagle letter and quickly handed it over to Zhou Cang.

Zhou Cang opened it and looked at it, his face turned pale, "How is this good?"

Ling Shanhe saw that Zhou Cang was so panicked that he forgot to show them, so he had to take it personally and take the letter directly from Zhou Cang's hand. The letter was sent by Zhou Jie, the commander of the Zhennan Army, saying that the Yuanwu army had openly raided Zhou, and the two sides had already engaged in a battle, with casualties among each other. But the other party came prepared, and the military strength was superior, and he hoped that the eldest brother would order the southern army to rush south immediately to help.

The Zhennan Army was responsible for guarding the border, and the camp was not far from the border, while the garrison of the Zhengnan Army was still some distance from the border.

For the war, Sun Shuyang, Ling Shanhe and others had to admit that Huangfu Ying was superior. In the east, the army was lost, and it was inevitable that Chen's army would go north. There's another big enemy here. Faced with a dilemma, Ling Shanhe and Sun Shuyang had to ask Pope Fu Ying for advice on how to deal with the current predicament.

Huang Fuying turned around and invited them all into the house to discuss.

Huangfu said: "Most of the southern expeditionary army is over, and the whole army is annihilated. If they just lost the battle, Tang Cizhong and Zhou Zhang would not have sent a single eagle letter, and they were not people who could not bear their responsibilities. I really regret that I didn't listen to Yuanfeng's advice and leave a little more behind. Tang Cizhong and Zhou Zhang's defeat was so fast and so clean, which showed that Chen Guo and Tianfeng jointly laid a big trap for them.

Now it's too late to regret it, it's already enemies on three sides, Chen Guo, Tianfeng and Yuan Wu. Yanhu can't be lost, otherwise under the combined attack of Chen Jun and Tianfeng Jun, the Zhenxi Army will also be finished. The strength of our army has gone by one-third, and the Qi land cannot be maintained.

My opinion is that I personally go and help Feiyan. Here, let the Zhengnan Army go south as soon as possible, and together with the Zhennan Army, be sure to keep Yuanwu out of the country. ”

Zhou Cang was anxious: "How can you go? What if the Zhennan Army can't stop the Southern Army? No, no." ”

Ling Shanhe and Sun Shuyang were also resolutely opposed. As the god of war in the Zhou Kingdom, Huangfu Ying has the role of fixing the hearts of the army and the people. Huangfu Ying went to Qidi, not to mention the counties in the south, even the soldiers and civilians of Changshan were not at ease.

Zhou Cang hesitated: "Or I will transfer the western army to the east to help Feiyan." ”

Huangfu said: "Nonsense." How can the Western Army move. Yuanwu belongs to the Wuyuan Dynasty, so you are not afraid that Wuyuan will raise troops to attack?"

The house leak was even rainy, and at this time, there was a letter eagle flying into the Nanping Marquis Mansion. Everyone's hearts are tightening, it won't be that Wu Yuan is really attacking.

Zhou Cang couldn't hold it back, "I, let's call my father out of the customs." ”

The three of them glanced at Zhou Cang, but they didn't make a sound, but waited for the guards to get the eagle letter.

The guards of the Huangfu family took the eagle letter and did not hand it over to Zhou Cang, but habitually handed it to Huangfu Ying.

Huangfu Ying is at home, and he has always been informal, so he opened it directly to see.

Ling Shanhe frowned, feeling that this was too disrespectful to Zhou Cang, Zhou Cang was a prisoner at this time after all, and Huangfu Ying should be treated as a master. Why didn't Zhou Cang see it, and Huang Fuying opened it on his own initiative? This is not in line with the law or reason.

Huang Fuying opened the eagle letter and looked at it, and it changed color.

The letter was written by Gao Yuanfeng, saying that the scouts had detected Chen's movements and saw Wu Mingfu appear near the border, and it was estimated that Chen's army would soon attack the Bohai Sea. At the same time, he expressed his judgment on the possible demise of the Southern Expeditionary Army. In the letter, he once again expounded his point of view, believing that Chen Jun should want to enter the country from the Bohai Sea, and then follow the wilderness north of Yingchou Mountain, horizontally penetrate the junction of Yanhu Lake and Luodu, cut off the passage between Yanhu Lake and Luodu, and attack the back of Lutai Zhou Feiyan, so that Chen Jun and Tianfeng's combined army can easily take Yanhu.

Once the combined forces of Chen and Tianfeng captured Yanhu and Pingchang, they could attack Hexi by advancing westward, completely cutting off the passage between Zhou and Qidi, and besiege Luodu in the north, completely incorporating Qi into their territory.

Gao Yuanfeng couldn't make sense with Zhou Feiyan, so he had to write directly to Emperor Fuying and ask Wang Ting to adjust his strategy.
