Lu Weiyi sat in the tent all night, and after feeling deeply isolated, he decided to lead the army to defend Tongling City, and at the same time sent envoys to ask for help from Hui'an Mansion.

A letter asking for help rushed from Chizhou Pegasus to Hui'an Mansion, and Zhang Dezhong immediately ordered someone to send it to Lu Yuan outside the city.

When Lu Yuan saw the letter asking for help, he immediately terminated his trip to the countryside, secretly returned to Hui'an Mansion, sent a letter to Qin Quan, and ordered him to rescue him at the opportunity, but the main thing is to save himself, and the rescue is secondary, so forget it if he can't save it.

Soon, Qin Quan's reply arrived, and he proposed another plan, Lu Yuan pondered for a long time, and instructed the guards around him: "Xiao Wu, go and ask General Qin to come over." ”

"Yes." The personal guard Xiao Wu replied.

……

Two days later, Hui'an Province bordered Xuanzhou.

In the tent of the forbidden army of the Tang State, a routine meeting was going on, and one of Fu Wen's officers was a little dissatisfied: "General, how long are we going to stay in this ghost place?" Neither let Hui'an Mansion nor return to Jinling Mansion, what does Your Majesty think? ”

Fu Wen reprimanded: "Hugh is too much, what a soldier has to do is to obey, and then let Ben Shuai hear this kind of words, and never spare it." ”

The general snorted secretly and said no more.

At the end of the meeting, Fu Wen returned to the tent to rest, picked up the letter he had just arrived at this morning and read it, and when he learned that his youngest son could walk, a faint smile appeared on his simple face.

At this moment, there was a loud drum noise outside, and Fu Wen hurriedly ran out of the camp tent, only to hear a personal soldier report: "General, there is an enemy attacking the camp!" ”

"Is it Wu Yuejun?" Fu Wen exclaimed.

"No, it's the Hui'an Army!"

After hearing the three words of Hui'an Army, Fu Wen felt a little heavy, if he first arrived in Hui'an Mansion and encountered the Hui'an Army attacking the camp, he would never have such a big pressure, and it was likely that the whole army would fight back, but after hearing so many battle reports of the Hui'an Army, he also felt a little jealous in his heart.

"Order, order all armies to rush out of the encirclement and assemble near Pingyang Lake!"

"Yes!"

After a scuffle, Fu Wen led the army to rush out of the encirclement, and soon, all the troops and horses came, but all were damaged, when he learned that the number of Hui'an troops was more than 15,000 people, Fu Wen was secretly frightened, and was glad that the order to retreat just now was very correct.

At present, the Tang army has been stationed here for so long, and its spirit has been lost early, and the number is only 15,000 people, and if you fight against the Hui'an army with a similar number, the victory rate is very low.

After thinking about it for a long time, he issued another military order, and the whole army retreated to Ningguo County, joined the defenders there, and then looked for an opportunity to fight with the opponent's main force.

In Xuanzhou, Jingde County.

Since there were no defenders, the Hui'an army easily occupied this small county town and rode in the county with the team, Qin Quan frowned and said, "Sister, why did you deliberately leave a gap yesterday to let the Tang army escape?" ”

Qin You said: "Our army's combat strength is not as good as the Tang army, if it continues to stalemate at that time, it is likely to suffer heavy casualties, the Tang army's manpower and material resources are above ours, and it is much easier to recruit troops than us, we need to be careful with our calculations." ”

"But as long as you take that forbidden army, it is equivalent to taking Xuanzhou, even if you have heavy casualties, you can recruit troops in Xuanzhou to replenish the soldiers." Qin Quan retorted.

Qin Youyu glared at him and said, "I know that you are still thinking about General Yu's defeat of Muzhou, before they were defeated, they thought about how to defend it, but we couldn't hold it at all, if the Tang army came to attack, how could the newly recruited soldiers resist their tiger and wolf army?" ”

Qin Quan sighed, still feeling a little pity, and said: "Then I'm going to Chizhou, you be careful, hurry back to Jixi City, you have too few cavalry, it won't be good if the Tang army raids." ”

"You go, I'll go back after I move some of the people from the nearby counties to Hui'an Mansion. By the way, when you go to rescue Chizhou, you don't have to march too fast. ”

"I know the measure, if I don't wait for the Ning Guojun and the Tang Army to be almost consumed, I won't appear there." Qin Quan said coldly.

The plan he proposed to Lu Yuan was to join forces with Qin Youyu's Northern Route Army, first inflict heavy losses on the Northern Tang Army, eliminate the northern threat, and then go to Chizhou to rescue, in case the Tang Army would attack Hui'an Mansion with the Northern Tang Army after destroying Chizhou.

However, the combat strength of the Tang army was stronger than expected, and they could only repel the Tang army in the end, and did not achieve the expected combat effect, but after this victory, the morale of the Tang army in the north was greatly reduced, and the threat to Hui'an Mansion was much smaller.

Jinling Mansion.

When Tang Emperor Li Jing received the news that Fu Wen's army had been attacked, he was playing a game of poetry solitaire with his concubine in the back garden.

After reading this military report, his good mood in the morning was completely destroyed, Hui'an Mansion dared to take the initiative to attack the Tang Army in Xuanzhou, although the forbidden army only lost more than 3,000 people, not as much as Chizhou's losses, but the problem is that he is negotiating peace with Hui'an Mansion, and the other party actually attacked without scruples, just like a barbarian army.

The other party's behavior reminded him of the army of the northern regime, they were an army of barbarians, who fought without rules, but they were very powerful.

Although Li Jing despised them in his heart, he was also very jealous of such an army, so he ordered Fu Wen's army to stick to Ningguo City and not take the initiative to attack again.

According to Fu Wen's report, Hui'an Mansion may also send troops to aid Chizhou, so Li Jing ordered Li Jingda to take Tongling as soon as possible, and at the same time let Xu Shilian of Hui'an Mansion come back, this trip is no longer meaningless.

After the envoy of the Tang State was recalled, the envoy of Chizhou asked for a meeting again, still urging the Hui'an government to send reinforcements to support Chizhou, and Lu Yuan personally received the envoy from Chizhou.

In the study.

After seeing that somewhat familiar face, Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself who this is, how can he look so familiar.

"Brother Lu, I haven't seen you for a long time." Zheng Xing said with a smile.

"You are?"

"I'm Zheng Xing! Brother Lu shouldn't have forgotten me! Zheng Xing smiled reluctantly, he didn't believe that Lu Yuan would forget himself, it was estimated that he did it on purpose, so as to humiliate himself.

"It turned out to be Brother Zheng!"

Lu Yuan finally remembered that although he didn't like this person, he was an acquaintance after all, and when he saw him, he remembered the embarrassment when he first came to this world, which made people feel emotional.

Seeing that Lu Yuan's attitude had improved, Zheng Xing smiled a little more: "It's good that Brother Lu hasn't forgotten, but I miss the days when I was in Xiao Lefang with Brother Lu very much." ”

It wasn't me who intersected with you during that time, Lu Yuan secretly complained.

"Brother Zheng is okay lately?" He casually said a word of concern.

Who knew that Zheng Xing was moved to whimper after hearing this, and he choked up: "Brother Lu, you are really a gentleman who does not forget his old feelings, I really hope to devote myself to your command, devote all my learning, and assist you in achieving great things." ”

"......" Lu Yuan was silent, I don't know what kind of goods you kid is? You have also learned, you have entered the officialdom of Hui'an Mansion, but I am afraid that the entire officialdom will be polluted.

He was thinking about rejecting him with the new imperial examination, but he heard Zheng Xing crying: "It's a pity that my family members are all detained by Lu Weiyi, if I abandon them and join Brother Lu, won't I become an unkind and unrighteous person?" ”

Speaking of this, he peeked at Lu Yuan out of the corner of his eye, observing his reaction.

Lu Yuan keenly noticed Zheng Xing's thoughts, he seemed to really want to abandon his family and join himself, but he was afraid that he would think he was an unrighteous and unfilial person, so he made a temptation.

Lu Yuan said awe-inspiringly: "I know that people like Brother Zheng will never do that kind of thing that is inferior to animals, and this is what I admire most about Brother Zheng." ”

Zheng Xingchang sighed and said: "Alas, I have nothing else, but I attach more importance to the word filial piety, Brother Lu has won the award, but I think that I can't do things under Brother Lu, but I want to help Lu Weiyi, and my brother is really a little sad." ”

This person is really invincible, Lu Yuan really doesn't want to talk to him anymore, so he changed the topic and said: "Since Brother Zheng came to lobby in person, I will never refuse this reinforcement, and Brother Zheng will let Lu Jieshuai rest assured after he goes back!" ”

"Thank you so much, Brother Lu." Zheng Xing saw that he couldn't take refuge in Hui'an Mansion, so it was good if he could complete the task and improve his status in the Ning State Army.

"But I have one condition." Lu Yuan's voice sank.

"Brother Lu, please say, as long as you are not too embarrassed, I believe that Lu Jieshuai will not refuse."

"I hope to get back the bones of General Wang Meng, and his wife and children also want Lu Jieshuai to be sent to Hui'an Mansion." Lu Yuan said in a deep voice.

Zheng Xing was stunned for a moment, he thought that Lu Yuan would take the opportunity to ask for some materials and other benefits, he smiled and said, "I believe that Lu Jieshuai will not refuse this matter." ”

A few days later, Wang Meng's body was sent to Hui'an Mansion, and Lu Yuan personally held a funeral for him, and properly placed Wang Meng's wife and children.
