"Your Majesty, the minister has sent someone to investigate, and the enemy general's name is Zhao Kuangyin. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" Ma Chao replied.

Zhao Kuangyin!

When this thunderous name sounded in his ears, the potter's figure was suddenly shocked, and everything suddenly realized.

After the previous victory, Zhao Kuangyin was summoned and defaulted to Jiaozhou, and the potter guessed that he would most likely defect to the Taiping army.

But he didn't expect that Zhao Kuangyin would appear so early, just like Shi Qian, before the likes of Dugu Jialuo and Yang Zaixing, who were summoned before them, happened to appear in Bushan City, and saved the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom at a critical moment.

What kind of character is Zhao Kuangyin, the founding king of the Song Dynasty, one of the four emperors, and the strongest general in the world before he became the emperor.

In addition to force, his commandery, his resourcefulness, and his political ability, which is not the existence of Ma Chao.

Ma Chao was defeated under his hands, and it can be said that he was not wronged at all.

"What kind of bird is Zhao Kuangyin, is he so powerful?" Wei Chigong looked contemptuous and shouted disdainfully.

"Silly charcoal, Zhao Kuangyin's strength is ten times that of you, fortunately, the person who bumped into him this time was not you, but Ma Chao, otherwise maybe you would have lost your life......"

The pottery merchant secretly thought in his heart, but he didn't say it explicitly, after all, apart from him, who would have thought that this Zhao Kuangyin's strength was so strong that they couldn't believe it.

"Da Kai, do you know Zhao Kuangyin?" After sighing, the potter's eyes looked at Shi Dakai.

Shi Dakai's eyes also had a little surprise, but he arched his hand and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister only remembers that this Zhao Kuangyin was originally just a pawn, and later after making many military exploits, he was promoted to a general, and he originally followed the army of Hong thieves to invade Jingzhou, but because of a trivial incident offended Yang Xiuqing, he was demoted back to Jiaozhou. ”

After listening to Shi Dakai's explanation, the potter had to sigh again, the setting of this system elf is really sophisticated, even the details of Zhao Kuangyin offending Yang Xiuqing can be designed, and it is implanted extremely real.

"Your Majesty, what should we do now?" Mu Guiying interrupted the potter's thoughts.

The pottery merchant retracted his thoughts, took a light breath, and the heroic face ignited the emperor's domineering self-confidence, raised his whip and pointed to the west, and said proudly: "Just one Zhao Kuangyin, even if he has the ability, he can't save the life of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, send an order to the army, go straight to Bushan, whoever dares to block my soldiers, will destroy me!" ”

The self-confidence of the potter infected the soldiers of the three armies, and the haze caused by Ma Chao's small defeat was swept away.

The soldiers of the Great Wei continued to march towards Bushan City with fierce fighting spirit.

The self-confidence of the potter, knowing where his self-confidence is, with Zhao Kuangyin's strength, if he is the king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the potter will really be a little jealous.

It's a pity that no matter how strong Zhao Kuangyin is, he is just a young general under Hong Xiuquan after all, even Wei Changhui is not as good as this kind of goods, no soldiers, no power, no status, even if he has great ability, the potter does not believe that he can defy the sky.

At that moment, the potter did not hesitate, rode his horse and whipped, led an army of 100,000, and marched westward.

Two days later, the potter led an army of foot cavalry and arrived at the foot of Bushan City.

The army camped in the east of the city, and the company camped for seven or eight miles, and the camp was endless, and the momentum was huge.

At this time, the 40,000 reinforcements sent by Hong Xiuquan had also arrived in Bushan City, and joined Zhao Kuangyin's troops with more than 45,000 troops.

In the face of the enemy's reinforcement, the potter knew that he could not act rashly, and after the camp was completed, he was not in a hurry to attack the city immediately, while asking the soldiers to rest for a while, and on the other hand, he sent Shi Qian, relying on his talent for flying eaves and walls, to sneak into the city of Bushan to spy on the enemy's reality.

……

Bushan Castle, the lobby of the military palace.

Xiao Chaogui and Wei Changhui sat on the top side of the table, looking down at the military general kneeling in front of the steps.

Although Wei Changhui is named the King of the West, he is higher than Xiao Chaogui, the Northern King, in terms of ranking, but because Wei Changhui's qualifications and military exploits are not as good as Xiao Chaogui, his reputation is far from reaching the realm of Shi Dakai in this position back then, so his two kings are actually equal.

"You are Zhao Kuangyin, the general of Bushan?" Wei Changhui narrowed his eyes and glanced at the kneeling general.

"It's the last general." Zhao Kuangyin's answer was neither humble nor arrogant.

Xiao Chaogui then asked: "You are the Zhao Kuangyin who defeated the Wei demon general Ma Chao twice?" ”

"Indeed, he is the last general." Zhao Kuangyin is still neither humble nor arrogant.

Xiao Chaogui and Wei Changhui glanced at each other, and their eyes invariably swept up with suspicion, as if they didn't believe that such an inconspicuous little character in front of them could defeat the general of Wei, Xiliang Jinma Chao.

You know, that's Ma Chao, even Yang Xiuqing was submerged under the iron cavalry under his command, and even his two kings were extremely jealous.

Wei Changhui said again: "Then tell me, how did you defeat Ma Chao twice?" ”

Zhao Kuangyin was not in a hurry, and truthfully explained how he designed to ambush Ma Chao, and how he took advantage of Ma Chao's unstable camp to attack Wei Ying at night and win.

After listening to his report, Xiao Chaogui and Wei Changhui were suspicious, and the two glanced at each other again, and there was a trace of jealousy in their eyebrows.

Obviously, this Zhao Kuangyin is a piece of gold buried in the sand, and now it has revealed its head, if it is important to the king of heaven in time, he will be able to show his strengths, and then he is afraid that he will have to chase after the two of them.

They sensed threatened.

"You get up first." Wei Changhui didn't commend Zhao Kuangyin either, but just flicked his hands.

Zhao Kuangyin remained silent, slowly stood up, and stood calmly at the foot of the steps, his expression was calm, and he couldn't see the joy and anger in his heart.

"Now that the 100,000 army of Wei Demon has arrived at Bushan City, what do you think of defending the city?" Xiao Chaogui asked in a condescending tone.

Zhao Kuangyin said without hesitation: "The last general thinks that if we want to hold Bushan City, we must concentrate our forces. ”

"What kind of concentration method, you can talk about it." Wei Changhui motioned for him to continue.

Zhao Kuangyin came to the map and gestured: "Two highnesses, please see, the terrain of Bushan City is near the water in the north and the mountains in the west, and the terrain on both sides is not wide, which is not conducive to the development of the enemy's forces. ”

After a pause, Zhao Kuangyin continued: "The last general thinks that we can deploy 5,000 soldiers and horses at the west gate and the north gate as a precaution, and then deploy 10,000 soldiers and horses at the east gate and the south gate as the main defensive direction, and the remaining nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses can be used as a reserve. ”

Zhao Kuangyin sprinkled his words, with clear organization and clear tactics, and analyzed the pros and cons of the direction of the enemy and us clearly, which couldn't help but make Xiao Chaogui and Wei Changhui look at him more and more.

The jealousy in the eyes of the two of them became more and more intense.

Wei Changhui's eyes rolled a few times, and then he brushed his hand and said: "Okay, what do you think this king and the king of the north will consider, we will take over the city defense of this Bushan City, as for you, this king has given you an important task, which is to quickly go to the rear to escort the grain and grass." ”

As soon as this military order was given, Zhao Kuangyin, who was originally calm, couldn't help but be stunned.

He thought that he was the general of Bushan City, and he was most familiar with the city defense of Bushan City, and he had defeated Ma Chao twice before, so the two kings did not praise themselves, at least they should leave him behind as their right-hand man to assist him in defending the city.

Who would have expected that Wei Changhui would send him to escort grain and grass.

"King Bei, this kind of thing like escorting grain and grass can be left to others to do, and the last general can stay in Bushan and assist the two highnesses to fight against the Wei demon." Zhao Kuangyin finally "dared to object".

Wei Changhui frowned, and said unhappily: "The art of war has not moved, the grain and grass go first, this king is a talent, so he will hand over such an important errand as grain transportation to you, why, are you still unwilling?" ”

"That's not it, the last general is just a ......" Zhao Kuangyin didn't know how to explain for a while.

He wanted to stay and defend Bushan, of course, there were also selfish considerations, you must know that Bushan City is now the last barrier of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, if you can participate in this battle to defend the city, and finally succeed in defending the city, it will be equivalent to a great achievement.

With great merit in hand, it is naturally indispensable to be promoted to the king, how can Zhao Kuangyin not be interested in glory, wealth, fame and fortune.

Wei Changhui didn't give him a chance to speak, looked at Xiao Chaogui and asked, "King Bei, do you have any objections to the appointment and dismissal of Zhao Kuangyin by this king?" ”

Xiao Chaogui nodded without thinking about it: "King Xi's arrangement is very wise, it is to make the best use of people's talents, and use Zhao Kuangyin's strengths, this king has no objections." ”

"Did you hear that?" Wei Changhui glanced at Zhao Kuangyin again, "This is the joint decision of this king and the king of the north, Zhao Kuangyin, do you still want to disobey the order." ”

Zhao Kuangyin had nothing to say now, and he also understood it thoroughly, it turned out that these two princes were afraid of their own abilities, and they were afraid that he would stay here and steal their limelight, so he used such an idle errand to justifiably take him away, so that he couldn't say anything.

"The last general...... The last general commanded. Zhao Kuangyin sighed secretly in his heart, he didn't dare to disobey his orders, so he had to silently accept his resignation.

Zhao Kuangyin retreated, and the two of them were left in the lobby, and after dealing with others, it was time to fight with each other.

Wei Changhui said first: "Then what Zhao Kuangyin said just now is indeed feasible, so let's follow what he said, arrange 5,000 soldiers and horses at the north and west gates, as for the remaining 35,000 soldiers and horses, don't divide any reserves, just because I led 20,000 to guard the south gate, and you led 15,000 to guard the east gate, what does the king of the north think?" ”

Xiao Chaogui frowned suddenly, and immediately objected: "Why do you lead 20,000 troops from the King of the West, and this king can only lead 15,000 troops?" ”

"Isn't it just 5,000 soldiers and horses, what's there to worry about?" Wei Changhui smiled and said: "If the Wei Demon is the main attack on your east gate at that time, this king will send 10,000 soldiers and horses to the east gate, and it will be the same if you call it." ”

Xiao Chaogui snorted coldly: "Since they are all the same, why not directly command 20,000 troops by this king, you must know that the east gate is facing the Wei Demon camp, and the possibility of being used by Wei Demon as the main attack direction is greater than that of the South Gate, wouldn't it be more reasonable to allocate troops in this way." ”

"What's this......" Wei Changhui was asked for a while, wanting to take advantage of 5,000 more people, but he couldn't find a reason to refute it.

Xiao Chaogui sank his face and said with a flick of his hand: "Since the King of the West, you are so reluctant to give up the five thousand soldiers and horses, then let's simply change one, you come to guard the east gate, and this king guards the south gate." ”

Wei Changhui's figure shook slightly, and he secretly thought in his heart: "What he said is right, the East Gate is indeed the most likely to be attacked by Wei Demon, and the ability to use troops surnamed Xiao is indeed stronger than me, for the sake of 5,000 soldiers and horses, let me take the risk to defend the East Gate, this deal can't be done......"

Thinking of this, Wei Changhui's eyes rolled, and he smiled and said: "The king of the north is reasonable, since this is the case, you will command 20,000 soldiers and horses to guard the east gate, and this king will lead 15,000 people to guard the south gate." ”

Xiao Chaogui was satisfied, and the two reached an agreement on the division of troops, and agreed that if the situation of the gate they were guarding was critical, the other party must divide their troops and horses to help.

After deciding on the plan to defend the city, the two kings didn't have anything to say, and each walked out with their sleeves up.

But no one noticed that under the roof of the lobby, a tile had been lifted in half, and a pair of mouse-like squinting eyes had peeked through the gap to see everything that was happening in the lobby clearly.

"Almost everything that should have been heard has been overheard, so hurry up and report to Your Majesty." A sneer rose at the corner of Shi Qian's mouth, and he flew off the roof, quietly disappearing like a ghost.
