Lei Tong had no choice, between life and death, almost instinctively, he barely raised the war knife in his hand, so that the power of life and peace was intended to carry it head-on. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In an instant, the two war knives collided violently.

Under the shock of the mad knife, Lei Tong only felt endless strength, which instantly poured into his body, ruthlessly impacting his internal organs, and spurting out a stream of bloody arrows when he opened his mouth.

"The strength of this traitor is so strong......

When Lei Tong was shocked and painful, the potter who rode by roared violently, and the second knife had been slashed out obliquely.

It was another god and ghost, with the force of the sky and the earth cracking, and the electric slash came.

Lei Tong, whose internal organs had been severely damaged, didn't even have a chance to take a breath, so he had to do his best to block it with a knife.

Throat!

The heavy knife slammed down, like the strength of Mount Tai's top, and the war knife that Lei Tong was raised high collapsed in an instant, and the blade directly cut into his shoulder armor.

"Ahh

The potter didn't give him a chance to breathe at all, and as soon as the sword was retracted, the third knife had already slashed sideways like thunder.

The first two moves had already caused Lei Tong's body to suffer heavy damage, and with this third sword, he had no time to return the knife to block it.

Burst!

A blood light flashed, and the human head of Lei Tong had already flown into the air with the blood.

With only three moves, the pottery merchant easily killed the Shu general Lei Tong.

"Happy, killed, haha-" The potter was still killed, laughed wildly, dragged the blood-stained knife, and then killed the Shu pawns who broke down and fled.

Rolling all the way, killing all the way, no one can stop it.

At this time, Hou Yi, who had previously been defeated and led Li Yan to take the bait, also led his soldiers and horses to fight back, and the three soldiers and horses joined forces to wantonly strangle the enemy.

The potter killed dozens of people in a row, and then he was happy, put away his sword and reined in his horse, standing proudly, and his eagle eyes swept over the bloody battlefield.

Looking at his soldiers, no one could stop them, killing the Shu people, and the potter's blood-stained face couldn't help laughing.

"Today's battle is very happy, even if you can't completely destroy the Shu army, it's enough to give Gou Jian a terrifying gift, hehe......"

After the emotion, the potter took a few deep breaths, recovered his strength, and continued to gallop his horse, killing wantonly.

The Wei army swept through like a tide, killing the Shu army into a river of blood, killing more than half of the dead and wounded, and the road from east to west was full of the corpses of the Shu soldiers.

Li Yan was lucky, fortunately, he escaped fast enough, grabbed the Wei army before the interception, and desperately fought out of the valley.

Li Yan escaped from Ascension by luck, counted the battle losses of his soldiers, and there were nearly 5,000 soldiers, all of whom were killed and wounded in the valley and died under the ambush of the Wei army.

Even Li Yan himself was covered in red and hung with colors, and suffered several knife wounds and arrow wounds.

"It's hateful, I didn't expect this pottery thief to be such a traitor, I was still counting on breaking him and making me famous all over the world, but how could I think of being ...... by him"

The more Li Yan thought about it, the more angry he became, and the more he thought about it, the more annoyed and ashamed he became, and at this time, the sound of killing in the direction of Gukou shook the sky, and the blood mist rolled in, but it was the Wei army who chased him out from Gukou and wanted to kill him completely.

Li Yan's spirit that had just calmed down immediately became nervous again, and he didn't care about recalling the pain of defeat, so he hurriedly whipped his horsewhip wildly, and fled all the way to Jiangzhou City with less than 5,000 defeated troops.

The Wei army pursued all the way, and chased for nearly 20 miles, and when they reached the city of Jiangzhou, the pottery merchants collected their troops and returned to the camp.

The day after the victory, the potters led a victorious army, calmly entered Jiangzhou in the west, and forced the city to go down.

In the evening of the next day, the Wei army had completed its encampment on the front line of Jiangzhou, and formed an offensive posture against this first important town in eastern Shu.

At this time, Li Yan, although there were still 5,000 soldiers and horses under his command, was completely frightened by the pottery merchants, even if the number of troops was still equivalent to the Wei army, but he no longer dared to send a soldier out of the city, he could only watch the Wei army approaching, and calmly went down in front of the city.

"It was my carelessness that fell for the trick of the pottery thief, and it seems that at this point, I can only ask the king for help......"

Looking at the Wei army in front of the city, Li Yan could only sigh secretly, and immediately sent a messenger to Nanzhong to move rescue troops to Liu Zhang.

……

Nanzhong, Juti City.

At this moment, nearly 60,000 soldiers of the Shu army were all immersed in cheers, as if victory had arrived.

Victory is indeed only one step away from them.

Because, just this morning, the barbarian king Meng Shu, who had been besieged for nearly ten days, finally ran out of grain and grass, and in desperation, he sent a messenger to ask Gou Jian to surrender.

Meng was asked to surrender, which meant that the battle of Pingnan came to an end immediately and ended with a complete victory for Shu.

This also means that these tens of thousands of Shu soldiers can finally return north to fight against the invasion of Wei and defend their homeland.

Such good news can not make the Shu army uplifted and excited.

In Zhuti City, in the lobby of the palace, the atmosphere is diametrically opposed to that outside the city, and it is as silent as death.

On the throne, Gou Jian Tie sat there stiffly with a blue face, staring at the urgent battle report on the desk, and there was anger and surprise flowing in his eyebrows.

His fists clenched, his bones gurgling, showing the anger in his heart.

Under the stairs, whether it is a rising star like Fa Zheng, or Huang Quan and Zhang Ren, such old ministers and heavy generals, they don't dare to take a breath, and they are all silent.

"Li Yan, Li Yan, you really make this king ......" Gou Jian gritted his teeth and sighed, the words were unfinished, but the disappointment was obvious.

The battle report was sent urgently from Jiangzhou, about how Li Yan was in the potter's plan to lure the enemy, how to defeat the potter, and how to defeat the potter, and the defeat report of 5,000 soldiers.

You must know that Li Yan, like Fa Zheng, has been promoted and reused by Gou Jian in recent years, and like Meng Da, they both belong to the talents of the Shaozhuang faction.

Gou Jian thinks that he has a good eye for the British, and has great expectations for these rookies, who would have thought that Meng Da was defeated and captured in the past, and now Li Yan, who has high hopes, was defeated, and Gou Jian's self-confidence could not be deeply hit.

At this moment, he had even begun to doubt his ability to recognize people.

He wanted to scold Li Yan very much, but when the words came to his lips, he finally endured it, after all, Li Yan was still guarding Jiangzhou, and it was still useful to him, and being too reproachful at this time would make Li Yan feel uneasy.

Secretly sighed and scolded for a while, Gou Jian barely calmed down his anger, swept all the civil and military forces, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "I don't want the Tao thief to be such a traitor, Li Yan was also defeated by it, and the second general Wu Lanlei and Tong also died in the battle for the country. ”

Gou Jian's expectant eyes looked at the ministers, hoping that they could give him advice and solve problems in time.

At the bottom of the stairs, everyone was silent.

Gou Jian frowned, his expression was displeased, his eyes shot at Fa Zheng, and he said in a deep voice: "Xiaozhi, this Li Yan was recommended by you to defend Jiangzhou, but now he has lost his troops and made Jiangzhou in danger, don't you have anything to say?" ”

Fa Zheng's face changed slightly, and his sunken eyes suddenly flashed a little embarrassed.

Meng Da and Li Yan are all companions of his Shaozhuang faction, Meng Da surrendered to Wei and lost Fa Zheng's face, Li Yan personally went to defend Jiangzhou, but he also suffered a big defeat, which really made Fa Zheng's face be pumped to the point of crackling, a little unbearable.

Forcibly suppressing the embarrassment, Fa Zheng took a light breath, but said lightly: "Li Yan's defeat is indeed due to his contempt for the pottery merchants, but he managed to save the defeat of five thousand soldiers, and the main army of the pottery thieves cannot gather in Jiangzhou for a while, and Jiangzhou is still safe now." ”

These words made Gou Jian's face look a little better, but he nodded slightly: "According to filial piety, what should this king do now." ”

"The minister is still the same sentence, although Meng Huo has decided to surrender, but before he really comes to surrender, we must not transfer a large army, and continue to put enough pressure on Meng Huo so that he will not dare to regret it."

Fa Zheng's answer was categorical, and the words changed, but he said: "As for Jiangzhou, with 5,000 soldiers and horses alone, it is indeed a bit of a big support, and the minister thinks that the king might as well send a general to send 25,000 soldiers and horses to Jiangzhou to increase the defense, and the combined army of 30,000 troops is enough to deal with the return of our army to the north." ”

Fa Zheng's words were reasonable and well-founded, and he had to convince Gou Jian, and the original annoyance and anxiety were also swept away at this time.

"Well, filial piety is straightforward, Meng Shu's surrender is imminent, and he really can't be a teacher at this time, otherwise the battle of the Southern Expedition will fall short."

Gou Jian nodded slightly, thinking deeply, but asked again: "Then according to filial piety, who should this king send to strengthen Jiangzhou?" ”

Fa Zheng glanced back at the generals, and stopped talking for a while, but Gou Jian's question stumped him.

If it was possible, of course, he wanted to recommend the people of his Shaozhuang faction to go to the army to save Jiangzhou.

It's just that most of the people in their faction are civil ministers, and those who can lead troops to fight, except for Meng Da is Li Yan, but unfortunately these two people are not angry.

At this time, Fa Zheng couldn't think of anyone to send to save Jiangzhou.

Just when he hesitated, the next general strode out of the column and said angrily: "King, the last general is willing to lead the army to strengthen Jiangzhou." ”

Gou Jian raised his eyes and swept his eyes, and a happy color suddenly appeared on his face, the general who asked for the battle was Zhang Ren, the first general in Shuzhong.

You must know that this Zhang Ren is a famous general who has become famous in his father's time, and it can be said that he has made great contributions to the Liu family.

Gou Jian knows that Zhang Ren is not only good at commanding troops, but also super strong in martial arts, above the veterans Yan Yan and Li Yan, he is the first general of martial arts in Shuzhong.

Gou Jian immediately laughed and patted the case: "Okay, with General Zhang going to aid Jiangzhou, what is the king worried about!" This king will appoint you as the governor of Jiangzhou, lead 25,000 soldiers and horses to take over the defense of Jiangzhou, and defend Jiangzhou for this king! ”

"Don't worry, the king is at ease, there is an end, and the pottery thief doesn't want to get involved in Jiangzhou!" Zhang Ren was full of confidence and accepted the order.

That night, Zhang Ren led more than 20,000 Shu troops to the north and rushed to Jiangzhou under the stars.

……

Outside the city of Jiangzhou, the Wei army camp.

Groups of follow-up troops of the Wei army are entering the camp one after another, and the follow-up troops of more than 20,000 people brought by Cao Shen have made the number of Wei troops outside Jiangzhou jump to 30,000.

This is just the beginning, there are still hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses behind, and they are still on the way.

This is almost the speed of the Wei army's march, the slowest one, but this is also no way, who makes the Shu Road difficult, and the follow-up main force cannot be like the former army under the command of the pottery merchants, all of them are advancing lightly, and the speed is naturally greatly slowed down.

In the king's tent, the aroma of wine is overflowing, the fragrance of meat is permeating, and the potters have just given Cao Shen them the wind, and they are still unsatisfied.

After a while, the curtain was lifted, and the fragrant wind blew on the face, which lifted the spirit of the potter, and when he looked up, he saw two stunning faces of the national color and natural fragrance, which had come into view.

It's big and small Joe.

In order to get the "majestic" and "durable" attributes of Xiao Qiao, the potter must let her marry him voluntarily, since he wants the family to be willing, of course, he must take it at any time to cultivate feelings.

The reason why the potter invited her sisters to join the army in Shu this time was to invite them to visit the "scenery of Shu" and enjoy the mountains and rivers.

Of course, the big and small Qiao sisters knew that this King of Wei was interested in the two of them, even if they were unwilling, but the pottery merchants invited them with courtesy, and did not force them like Sun Ce, so they naturally did not refuse, so they had to follow the army all the way to Shuzhong.

"The maidens meet the king." Big and small Qiao sisters, a gift.

The potter smiled, brushed his hand and said, "The two young ladies are exempt, come here, watch and sit." ”

The two sisters sat down side by side, Da Qiao was shy and embarrassed to speak easily, but Xiao Qiao asked directly: "Wang, it's so late, is there anything you want to do with calling our sisters?" ”

The potter drank a glass of wine and said with a smile: "This king is in a very good mood, and he has a banquet to eat wine in this tent, and he suddenly thought that there is no wine and no fun, which is really boring, so he remembered that the two young ladies are said to be proficient in music and rhythm, so they want to invite the two young ladies to come and play a song, which is to help the king." ”

"It was just a request for us to perform......

This thought invariably flashed through Xiao Qiao's mind, and the two of them glanced at each other, and they both secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Qiao smiled lightly: "Since the king is happy, my sister plays a song for the king, what's the matter, I don't know what musical instruments the king has here?" ”

"I don't know what instruments the two young ladies are good at?" The potter asked with a smile.

"The folk girl is good at playing the piano." Little Joe replied without thinking.

"Come on, bring the piano." The potter flicked his hands and looked at Da Qiao with a smile again, "What kind of musical instrument is Miss Da Qiao good at?" ”

Da Qiao thought for a while and replied softly: "The folk girl will blow Xiao." ”
