Although the reinforcements brought by Chen Miao to Guanshuo were only 10,000 troops, they still greatly boosted the morale of the non-commissioned officers of the Guanshuo army.

And for Kunyang County, this is not a good thing.

No, at the request of Guan Shuo before, Chen Miao and his general Zhu Yu led the 10,000 troops to deliberately turn around in Kunyang County, and then stationed in Guanshuo's camp, which was obviously a demonstration to Kunyang: We have reinforcements!

A moment ago, the black tiger thief on the southern city wall of Kunyang urgently informed Zhao Yu of the news.

Zhao Yu didn't dare to take it lightly, and immediately came to the city wall, ascending to look at the newly emerged rebel army in the distance.

When Zhao Yu looked into the distance, Liu Tu explained on the side: "It is a rebel army under the banner of 'Jiangxia', which is different from the rebel army under the banner of 'Changsha' under Guan Shuo before......"

Before the words fell, Sun Xiu, a partial general of the Nanyang Army, added with a sneer: "This new rebel army deliberately approached Kunyang, so that I could see his banner clearly, and it was clearly a demonstration against us." ”

Zhao Yu nodded thoughtfully, and then his heart moved, and he turned his head to look at Xu Bai and Wang Ping, who were standing behind Liu Tu at the moment.

Seeing that the two of them wanted to speak a few times and stopped, Zhao Yu deliberately smiled and said, "Xu Bai, do you two have anything to say?" ”

Coldly hearing Zhao Yu's inquiry, Xu Bai and Wang Ping were shocked.

"Sure enough, he already knew the details of the two of us......

Xu Bai thought secretly in his heart.

It turned out that about the fact that the details of the two of them had already been discovered by the high-level of Black Tiger Village, Ishihara had already told Xu Bai and Wang Ping, so that Xu Bai and Wang Ping did not have to worry about it anymore.

Therefore, Xu Bai and Wang Ping are no longer worried that Zhou Hu and others will be unfavorable to them at this moment, and the reason why the two of them want to stop talking is mainly because they are afraid of Liu Tu - after their temptation, the boss who is not thin on them obviously does not know the identity of their 'traitors'.

Therefore, Xu Bai and the others are also very worried about how this boss who is not thin on them will view them after the details of the two of them are exposed.

After hesitating for a moment, Xu Bai considered his words and said: "Regarding this 'Jiangxia rebel army', I have talked to Shi Yuan and Shi Zhutou...... This rebel army should be the rebel army in the south of Jiangxia, and it is also the rebel army that fought with Shi Zhutou back then......"

Seeing Xu Bai's cautious appearance, although Zhao Yu felt funny, he didn't reveal it, nodded and asked, "What is the strength of the generals and soldiers?" ”

Xu Bai hugged his fists and replied: "The commander of the Jiangxia rebel army is named Chen Miao, according to legend, he is a native of Chen County, Chen County, and Chen Taishi, the father-in-law of General Han Yan, is from the same county town, so General Han Yan hates Chen Miao deeply and thinks that Chen Miao has insulted the reputation of Chen Taishi. As for talent...... This Chen Miao is very amazing, I ...... back then I said that Shi Zhutou had learned about it when he was in Jiangxia, and this Chen Miao and General Han Yan fought countless times, although there were fewer victories and more defeats, but General Han Yan was never able to capture the southern part of Jiangxia County, on the one hand, it was because of the help of the rebels in Changsha and Yuzhang, on the other hand, Chen Miao's talent was also a big reason. ”

"How does it compare to the Changsha rebels?" Zhao Yu asked.

Xu Bai shook his head and said, "I have never compared...... Shi Zhutou didn't mention it, but in my opinion, the Jiangxia rebels have always fought against General Han Yan's Jiangxia army, and they should be more experienced than the Changsha army, especially their generals. ”

"Hmm." Zhao Yu nodded slightly.

He naturally would not doubt Xu Bai's judgment, after all, Xu Bai had also fought against Jiangxia rebels in Jiangxia, and his judgment was naturally more grounded than that of their group.

But what puzzled Zhao Yu was that this Jiangxia rebel army would appear here? As far as he knew, the Jiangxia rebels should be in Runan County.

Is it the reinforcements that Guan Shuo invited?

It shouldn't be, although Guan Shuo has repeatedly attacked Kunyang, but the problem is that Guan Shuo has not used two armies from beginning to end, one in Zhanshui and the other on the south bank of the Shahe River.

If the number of troops is really insufficient, Guan Shuo has no reason to go near and far, and does not use the troops on the south bank of Zhanshui and Shahe River, but invites Jiangxia rebels from Runan County all the way, and only invites 10,000 or 20,000 troops.

Unless......

"Unless the Jiangxia rebels were invited from Runan County, there were actually more than that, and a large part of them were sent to other places...... Xuchang!'

Zhao Yu frowned, realizing that the situation was getting worse and worse.

Prior to this, he knew that there was an army under Guan Shuo's command attacking Xuchang, and the general who led the army seemed to be called Xiang Xuan.

I received a letter from Chen Zu a few days ago, and it seems that the situation on Xuchang's side is not optimistic, and Cao Suo, the county lieutenant, has also suffered a defeat.

In all fairness, Zhao Yu didn't care about the life or death of Xuchang, including the life or death of Li Min, the warden of Yingchuan County—and even hoped that the local rebels would help him 'change' a Yingchuan county guard, and change someone who could focus on the overall situation, not like that Li Min, who held on to his bad deeds of 'burning and robbing officials', and refused to issue a document of forgiveness.

But at the same time, Zhao Yu also understood that once Xuchang fell, the situation of his Yingchuan County would be even more unfavorable.

I don't know if the time comes, the three counties of Kunyang, Xiangcheng, and Runan will be surrounded by rebels.

But Zhao Yu can't do anything about this, don't say that he has no spare strength, even if he has spare strength, he will not save Xuchang - to save Xuchang, it is better to save Xiangcheng and Runan County, after all, in these two counties, his black tiger thief has sown the seeds of 'friendship', if his guess is correct, Xiangcheng and Runan two counties will soon move closer to him Kunyang, and the three counties will huddle together to keep warm and prevent them from being broken by the rebels one by one.

While Zhao Yu was pondering, Liu Tu was asking Xu Bai in a whisper: "Are you two very close to Shi Yuan?" Didn't I tell you both, stay away from him? ”

As one of Liu Tu's henchmen, Xu Bai certainly knew that the boss had a prejudice against Ishihara, and the reason was that Ishihara had killed many Black Tiger Thieves at the beginning - this was also the reason why he didn't dare to let Liu Tu know the details of the two of them.

Zhou Hu is a person with a lot of strength and knows how to focus on the overall situation, and the boss in front of him who treats them well is obviously not a person with a lot of energy.

He picked up the nice words and explained: "Boss, that Ishihara has long been submitted to the great leader, and that's why we are close to him. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Liu Tu looked confused. Girls are small

From the side, Wang Ping hurriedly said: "If this is not the case, then why was Ishihara promoted to a military marquis by the big chief?" ”

"Oh......"

Liu Tu was silent, and Xu Bai and Wang Ping also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, in the camp of Guanshuo, he and Chen Miao were discussing the countermeasures to capture Kunyang.

Unlike Guan Shuo, Chen Miao has never advocated 'strong attack', but advocates 'outwitting', which is related to his previous experience in commanding battles - after all, his opponent is Han Yan, one of the five tigers of Chen Gate, that Han Yan has both courage and strategy, training soldiers, and commanding battles.

It was this experience that made Chen Miao develop the habit of 'outwitting', instead of blindly attacking.

Moreover, he did not want his reinforcement of Guan Shuo's 10,000 troops to be needlessly consumed in siege warfare.

Fortunately, Guan Shuo is not a reckless man who blindly attacks, and in the case of repeatedly attacking Kunyang, he is also considering other methods, and now he is just taking it out to discuss with Chen Miao: "I also have some thoughts about this." …… On the west side of Kunyang, there is a group of refugees hiding in Zhushan, and its leader is said to be Wu Zhi, the county governor of Suiping County, if I can persuade him, let him defect to Kunyang, as our internal response, or can join forces with the outside to capture Kunyang. The question is...... Na Wu Zhi never responded positively. ”

After learning about the situation, Chen Miao pondered deeply: "It's up to me to persuade Wu Zhi to take a look." ”

Guan Shuo glanced at Chen Miao, and although his face was surprised, he still nodded: "Okay!" ”

To convince Wu Zhi, you must first meet him face to face.

Guan Shuo meant that he could use the refugees caught by the Green Forest Thieves during this time as bait to force Na Wu Zhi to come to the barracks to meet them, but Chen Miao had other ideas: "If you want to persuade, you must naturally have sincerity, I will go to see Na Wu Zhi." ”

At Chen Miao's insistence, Guan Shuo let him go.

As a result, Guan Shuo immediately ordered Zhang Tai, Xiang Hu and others to release 500 refugees, and through the mouths of these people, conveyed the meaning of 'appointment' to Wu Zhi, the leader of the refugees.

After learning of the rebels' intentions, Wu Zhi, the former county governor of Suiping County, hesitated for a long time, and finally met with the envoy sent by Guan Shuo.

And this envoy is Chen Miao, who pretended to be an envoy under Guan Shuo.

Wu Zhi didn't know that this Chen Miao was the commander of Jiangxia Yishi, and he simply thought that he was an envoy under Guan Shuo's command, and when he saw the latter, he said indignantly: "Guan Shuo connived at the people who repeatedly persecuted me by the Green Forest Thieves, even if we had fled to the mountains, and now, he still wants us to be used by him?" ”

Chen Miao Zhengse said: "The dead are certainly worthy of regret, but as the leader of the people, the county lieutenant Wu should consider the living more than the dead...... Now that the cold winter is coming, Kunyang disregards his reputation and emphasizes utilitarianism, refuses to accept the refugees under the command of Wu County Lieutenant, and leaves you helpless in the mountains. Considering that the cold winter is approaching, I don't know how many people will die of cold and starvation. However, if the county lieutenant of Wu County is willing to help Guan Shuai capture Kunyang, after the city is broken, Guan Shuai promises to allow everyone to move to Kunyang City and distribute food. In addition, Guan Shuai also promised that he would restrain the Green Forest Thieves and would not persecute you again. ”

Wu Zhi was silent when he said this.

After all, as Chen Miao said, Kunyang's attitude towards his group of refugees is indeed not good.

If you want to say that those people in Kunyang are in the worst situation, it is not the Kunyang people who have been repeatedly attacked by the rebels, nor the Changsha army that has lost troops in Kunyang, but this group of refugees under the leadership of Wu Zhi, while resisting the looting of the green forest thieves, while trying to find a way to get food in the mountains.

Considering that the cold winter is coming, as Chen Miao said, Wu Zhi is also having a headache about this.

Defect to the rebels......

In all fairness, Wu Zhi did not trust Guan Shuo and the Changsha Army under his command.

He shook his head and said: "The promise conveyed by your envoy really moved Wu's heart, but whether Guan Shuai's promise is credible is debatable...... I will never forget that it was that Guan Shuai who connived at the Green Forest Thieves to persecute the innocent people under my command......"

Hearing this, Chen Miao revealed his identity.

He said with a smile: "As the righteous teacher of Jiangxia, I guarantee that Guan Qushuai's promise will be fulfilled!" ”

“……”

Wu Zhi's eyes widened in surprise.

He never thought that the messenger in front of him would be the commander of Jiangxia Yishi?

"You...... Your Excellency is really ......."

"Of course, the name of Qu Shuai, even Guan Shuai can't be impersonated." Chen Miao smiled and spread his hands: "Chen came in person, can County Lieutenant Wu see our sincerity?" ”

Wu Zhi took a deep look at Chen Miao, and the shock in his eyes gradually dissipated.

"Please let me ...... Think about it. ”

"Okay."

After pondering for a full moment, Wu Zhi let out a long breath, and said to Chen Miao: "Okay, I will help you wait to win Kunyang, and as a condition, ......"

"As a condition, you can settle down in Kunyang County and get enough food." Chen Miao answered with a smile.

"A word?"

"It's a deal!"
