From the 12th to the 15th, for a full four days, the rebels launched a continuous tug-of-war with Nanyang.

The Nanyang side still adopted Zhou Hu's tactics of 'day vigil and night attack', tending to defend and conserve physical strength during the day, and did not hesitate to lose its position for this, and at night it cooperated with the brigade wolf to launch a counterattack and regain the lost territory.

To tell the truth, the rebels did not try to hold their positions at night, but as Chen Miao believed, this battle has been fought so far, the average strength and battlefield experience of the Kunyang guards, and the fact that they are getting closer and closer to the rebel soldiers, considering that during the night battle, the rebel soldiers are in the Ming and the Kunyang guards are in the dark, even if the rebel soldiers know that the Kunyang guards will launch a counterattack tonight, it is difficult to resist.

After all, a long night was a long night, and there were many streets and alleys captured by the rebels, and no one knew exactly when and where the group of Kunyang soldiers would launch a counterattack.

Of course, the most important thing is that the morale of the rebels is generally low.

From the beginning of September to the seventh day of October, the more than 30,000 rebel soldiers under Guan Shuo's command attacked Kunyang for nearly a month, and the rebel soldiers who had lost their troops many times were eager to end the battle immediately.

I finally survived until the seventh day of October, and finally laid the south city wall, thinking that the Kunyang people in the city were finally going to end this time, and as a result, the Kunyang people launched a street battle in the city.

From the 8th of October to the 15th of October, the two sides engaged in a seven-day street battle, and the rebels once occupied four-fifths of the southern half of the city, or even more than that, but they were never able to cross the 'East Street' and 'West Street', which seemed to be like a moat.

Again and again, the rebel soldiers were finally beaten back by the Kunyang guards, and each side occupied half of the southern half of the city, facing each other from the position.

Unlike the Kunyang guards who wanted to defend Kunyang and their hometown, the rebel soldiers gradually began to get tired of this senseless tug-of-war, and they gradually lost the confidence to capture Kunyang, so that in the daytime attack, the offensive of the rebel soldiers became weaker and weaker.

"It won't go on like this."

As one of the commanding generals of the front, Qu general Cao Wu found the general Zhu Yu and reported to the latter all kinds of unfavorable signs in the army.

He said to Zhu Yan: "...... The soldiers were tired of repeatedly fighting with the Kunyang people for positions, and more and more soldiers began to complain, complaining about rations, about the weather, about the thin clothes on their bodies...... Many soldiers have lost confidence in capturing Kunyang. ”

“……”

Zhu Yu listened silently.

Because in fact, I don't know that Cao Wu complained to him, like Luo Yu, Zou Wei and other generals who fought on the front line, they all told him about the increasingly bad situation one after another, but what can Zhu Yu do?

He is a 'guest general', and he is the guest army who followed his Jiangxia Yishi Qu Shuai Chen Miao to assist the Changsha Yi Division, and Guan Shuo, the Qu Shuai of the Changsha Yi Division, is the real commander of this battle, as long as Guan Shuo does not change his mind, they can only work here.

At this moment, the only thing Zhu Wei could do was to appease Cao Wu, Luo Yu, Zou Wei and other generals with good words, and at the same time secretly pray that Chen Miao, the commander of his Jiangxia Righteous Army, could persuade Guan Shuo to end this battle as soon as possible.

How to end this battle, and whether to negotiate with that Zhou Hu for this reason, Zhu Yan has not thought about it carefully, but he can be sure of one thing, that is, this damn battle is really not suitable to be fought again.

At the same time, in the South City Gate Tower in Kunyang, Chen Miao was persuading Guan Shuo.

Out of respect for Guan Shuo, Chen Miao did not advise for the first three days, until today, the fourth day, he felt that he could no longer let Guan Shuo continue, so he retreated and communicated with Guan Shuo alone.

“…… From the twelfth day to the present, three full days have passed, and today is the fourth day, and the soldiers of our righteous division have not yet attacked East Street and West Street, and cannot effectively threaten Kunyang's soldiers...... The reason for this, on the one hand, is that Kunyang is getting stronger and stronger, and the belief that they want to defend their hometown has always kept their morale at a stable level, plus that Zhou Hu ...... So far, Zhou Hu has not made a single mistake, but has used his wisdom to gain partial advantages again and again, which in turn has boosted the morale of Kunyang's guards...... On the other hand, the soldiers of our righteous division began to get tired of repeated tug-of-wars, coupled with rations, weather and other reasons, and their morale generally declined...... I think it's time to end this fight. ”

"The end? How does it end? ”

Guan Shuo turned his head to look at Chen Miao, and asked seemingly calmly, "Did you send someone to surrender to that Zhou Hu?" ”

As soon as he heard this sarcastic remark, Chen Miao knew that Guan Shuo had a thick anger in his heart.

As Chen Miao guessed, in view of the terrible war in the past few days, Guan Shuo suppressed the fire in his belly, he just took into account Chen Miao's identity so that he did not have a seizure, if he was someone else, I am afraid he would have been scolded by this time.

After glancing viciously at the map in front of him, Guan Shuo said in a deep voice: "I am going to transfer Tian Xu back and order him to attack the western city wall......"

"Are you crazy?"

Chen Miao glanced at Guan Shuo in amazement, his brows furrowed.

It is undeniable that although the battle in Kunyang was very bad, there are still two fully organized and stable morale armies under Guan Shuo at this moment, that is, the armies of the generals Tian Xu and Zhai Shang - the former is deployed in Zhanshui, and the latter is deployed on the south bank of the Shahe River, which was previously reserved for the purpose of clamping down on Ye County.

What Chen Miao didn't expect was that under the unfavorable situation of the war, Guan Shuo actually began to fight the idea of these two armies.

Tian Xu and Zhai Shang's armies, is that easy to mobilize?

Tian Xu's army was transferred, wasn't the Zhanshui area occupied by Ye County? 8090 Chinese

Based on the previous cooperative relationship between Ye County and Kunyang, after Ye County occupied Zhanshui, he would definitely try to rescue Kunyang and interfere with his righteous division's attack on Kunyang, and the situation was obviously worse than now.

Just when he was about to persuade Guan Shuo, he heard Guan Shuo say in an unhappy tone: "Didn't you want to persuade me to withdraw to Dingling?" If I withdraw to Dingling, Tianxu, who is garrisoned in Zhanshui at this moment, will inevitably retreat, in that case, why can't I let him retreat in advance and participate in the attack on Kunyang to make a final attempt? ”

Hearing this, Chen Miao was surprised and angry.

Surprisingly, even at this time, Guan Shuo still retained the last shred of reason and calmness, at least not making major mistakes strategically.

Fortunately, even if he gave up part of the strategy, Guan Shuo still wanted to capture Kunyang.

Just when Chen Miao was about to persuade, Guan Shuo said in a deep voice again: "Zimian, I must capture Kunyang!" …… Kunyang is not a heavy county, it is just an ordinary county seat in Yingchuan County, if my righteous teacher is defeated in such a county town, not only will my Changsha righteous teacher not be able to raise his head in the future, but also damage the prestige of other righteous teachers......"

“……”

Chen Miao frowned slightly, but he didn't refute anything.

Because Guan Shuo is right, compared with the actual damage of the defeat to Kunyang, the key lies in the damage to reputation.

In fact, there are far from so many, but once the news of '100,000 Changsha righteous teachers frustrated in the small county of Kunyang' spreads, it will inevitably greatly damage the morale of the righteous teachers from all walks of life in the world, and even the court of the Jin State will use this matter to encourage its own army - you must know that in a small county of Kunyang's size, the entire Jin Kingdom has not three hundred but two hundred.

Is there a way to stop the battle of Kunyang immediately and save the face of the righteous teacher?

Yes!

Rebel against Zhou Hu!

As long as they can turn against Zhou Hu and ask Zhou Hu to take Kunyang to the camp of their righteous teacher, all problems can be solved.

"Are you sure to plot against Zhou Hu?"

Guan Shuo looked at Chen Miao with a strange expression.

Don't look at Guan Shuo's gritted teeth hatefully at that Zhou Hu, eager to swallow the other party alive, but if Chen Miao can rebel against that Zhou Hu now, he will immediately promote that Zhou Hu to be a 'fake handsome', so that the latter can reach the height of 'under one person and above ten thousand people' among his Changsha righteous teachers - hatred is hate, but Guan Shuo still has this reason.

The question is, how can this battle be fought so far, how can there be a chance to rebel against that Zhou Hu?

Sure enough, under Guan Shuo's stunned gaze, Chen Miao's face showed a little sneer, shook his head and said, "There is no ......"

After that, he immediately said: "Even if you are not sure that you will immediately rebel against Zhou Hu, you and I can try to negotiate with him, that Zhou Hu is just a bandit leader in Kunyang, if he is not forced to be tight, there is no reason for him to stand on the side of the Jin Kingdom and be the enemy of my righteous teacher......"

Hearing the sentence 'it's tightened', Guan Shuo's face sank slightly.

Although Chen Miao didn't say it explicitly, Guan Shuo still felt a little harsh, because it is no exaggeration to say that it was he who forced Zhou Hu to the opposite side of his righteous teacher, on the contrary, if he could agree to Zhou Hu's conditions and divide Kunyang, Runan, and Xiangcheng counties as each other's territory, Zhou Hu would most likely remain neutral.

It's a pity that he underestimated the bandit leader too much, and he also underestimated Kunyang County too much.

Guan Shuo's face flashed with a burst of innocence, and his heart struggled repeatedly between reason and resentment, and after a long time, he finally had the upper hand with reason, shook his head and said, "Zhou Hu...... I won't negotiate with you or me. ”

"Yes!"

Chen Miao shook his head and said, "Because my righteous master is still pinching his Kunyang lifeline......

Guan Shuo's heart moved slightly: "You mean ......?"

Chen Miao didn't sell his son either, and said in a low voice when he heard the words: "You and I can use 'no offense against Kunyangqiu when withdrawing the army' to force Zhou Hu to agree to negotiate with you and me." …… In fact, you also know that what Zhou Hu is most afraid of right now is that before we withdraw to Dingling, we will take revenge on Kunyang......"

Guan Shuo was thoughtful, but there were still a few concerns on his face.

Seeing this, Chen Miao seemed to have guessed his thoughts, and said with a chuckle: "It's better to do this, you continue to plan to attack Kunyang, and I will try to negotiate with that Zhou Hu, if I can persuade him to stop being an enemy of my righteous teacher, you will stop attacking Kunyang, what do you think?" ”

Guan Shuo pondered for a long time, and finally nodded slightly.

"Two days...... I'll give you two days. ”

"Okay."
