"Marshal, we've been tricked, let the soldiers withdraw quickly!" Deputy Marshal Xu Wenzhen was shocked.

Liu Renzhan shook his head: "If Ming Jin is now, the army will inevitably be in chaos, and the order will be sent to the soldiers to form a formation on the spot." ”

Immediately a herald gave the order.

Liu Renzhan looked at Xu Wenzhen: "Later, I will bring a phalanx of spears to fight head-on with the enemy's heavy cavalry, and you will lead the left and right flanks to retreat in an orderly manner." ”

"Dashuai, we have the advantage in numbers, and we may not be able to fight!" Xu Wenzhen's eyes were red.

"Our army is all infantry, now the formation is chaotic, and the enemy is a powerful Zhou cavalry, the defeat is decided, and there is no chance."

Speaking of this, he stared at Xu Wenzhen tightly, and said word by word: "Listen, you must evacuate with the left and right flanks before the enemy light cavalry surrounds you, I will set up an ambush on Qiyangpo twenty miles away, you just need to evacuate there and be safe." ”

"Then you ......"

"On the battlefield, don't be a mother-in-law, the most important thing now is to take the sons and daughters back to Shouzhou alive, and then tell Your Majesty the military situation and ask him to transfer King Yan to Shouzhou to garrison, understand?"

"The Admiral understands." Xu Wenzhen's voice choked.

"Go ahead." Liu Renzhan patted him on the shoulder.

After speaking, he led the phalanx of spears and rushed forward.

Xu Wenzhen did not dare to delay, ordered the left and right flanks to retreat, and finally, before the enemy's light cavalry encircled, he successfully withdrew from the battle circle.

However, Liu Renzhan's spear array and infantry phalanx were surrounded by enemy legions in the middle.

Xu Wenzhen didn't look much and led the army to retreat to the rear, but fortunately, the enemy light cavalry was busy dividing the surrounded Liu Renzhan and did not pursue his fleeing army.

"Vice Marshal, are we just going to leave the marshal there?" On the way to retreat, a bearded general couldn't help but roar.

"This is the order of the commander, are you willing to do this?" Xu Wenzhen roared louder than him.

"But ......"

Just then, a scout Pegasus arrived.

"Deputy marshal, our military camp tent has been captured by the cavalry of the Zhou army!" The scout rolls over and dismounts.

"How is this possible? Where did they come from? Xu Wenzhen was incredulous.

The bearded general swallowed his saliva: "Deputy marshal, do you think they will turn over from Mangdang Mountain?" ”

"It's impossible, it's difficult to even turn people over, not to mention that they still have to take horses, it's impossible to give them a day and a night!" Xu Wenzhen retorted loudly.

Wait!

Suddenly, an astonishing thought flashed through Xu Wenzhen's mind, and he asked the scout urgently, "How many enemy troops are there?" ”

"Only two thousand horsemen."

"Our battalion has 10,000 defenders, how can it be captured by 2,000 cavalry?" Another broad-faced general exclaimed.

Several other generals also spoke out, suspecting that the information was false, and the appearance of 2,000 cavalry was not normal, not to mention that these 2,000 cavalry also defeated a large camp of 10,000 defenders.

Xu Wenzhen thought that there was no problem with the intelligence, he had already understood how the enemy army appeared, and he might not be able to turn it over in one day and one night, but in five days and five nights, it was enough for two thousand cavalry to cross Mangdang Mountain.

The small-scale tentative attempts of the Zhou army at the beginning were fake, and they planned to attack the Tang army camp from the beginning.

Thinking of this, Xu Wenzhen ignored the opposition of the generals and ordered to take the trail and return to Shouzhou.

Just half an hour after he left, a Zhou army roared and went to the Tang army camp, the commander of the army was Wang Xianqi, the victory of the battle in Hulu Valley was decided, he immediately dispatched 10,000 cavalry, and went to the enemy's base camp.

Because Zhao Kuangyin, the marshal of the Zhou army, was there, he liked to take the lead every time he fought, although it greatly encouraged the momentum of his soldiers, but it suffered the generals under Zhao Kuangyin.

They couldn't persuade them, so they could only let the coach come to Hu, and they could only do their best to protect the safety of the coach.

A few days later, the news of the Battle of Zhoukou spread all over the world, and Zhao Kuangyin led the army of Zhou to defeat Liu Renzhan's troops in Zhoukou, Yingzhou.

In order to cover the retreat of the troops, Liu Renzhan took the initiative to stay and break the queen, but was captured by the Zhou army and died on hunger strike in prison.

Then, Zhao Kuangyin took advantage of the victory to pursue, successively defeated the Tang Kingdom of Guangzhou, Haozhou, and encountered some resistance when attacking Shouzhou, but in the end Shouzhou City was still broken by him, and Xu Wenzhen was killed in battle.

The whole country of Tang was shaken, and Li Jing, who received Xu Wenzhen's suggestion, finally stopped hesitating and urgently transferred Li Hongyi back to Jinling to discuss the strategy of retreating from the enemy.

At the same time, in the south, the state of Fujian, which had the land of five states, was also in a huge crisis.

……

Min State, Li Ziqian's Mansion.

Standing on the corridor with his hands in his hands, Li Ziqian looked in the direction of his hometown in the north, and his heart was full of sadness.

Since Chen Hongjin lost to Tang Bian, Li Ziqian thought that staying in the service would restore trust in him, but who knew that he reused Chen Hongjin even more, and became more and more indifferent to himself.

Li Ziqian suddenly found that staying in the effect became unfamiliar.

More than a month ago, the emperor of the Han State sent a letter, asking to stay Congxiao to go to the emperor's number, Liu Congxiao did not listen to his dissuasion, ignored the warning, and soon after, the Han State blatantly invaded the Fujian State, and Liu Congxiao had to give up attacking Wu Yue and return to the division to deal with the Han army.

Fortunately, the Qing Yuan army was still brave, and under the leadership of Chen Hongjin and Wang Baoshan, they won one victory after another, and the Han State had to suspend the offensive.

Liu Congxiao and other generals of the Fujian State believed that the crisis had passed, but Li Ziqian knew that the Fujian State had actually reached the most dangerous moment.

It's a pity that Liucongxiao has lost trust in him, and even if he wants to stop it, he can't do it.

He didn't know that the reason why he fell into his current situation was that he was framed by others, and there were two people who framed him, one of whom was Chen Hongjin, who had always been dissatisfied with him.

Another person, from Hangzhou, was named Li Xingfu.

In fact, Li Xingfu did not intend to target Li Ziqian, after he left Hangzhou, he planned to choose another good land to restore the country.

So he came to Fuzhou and took refuge as a descendant of Li Tang.

In order to quickly gain a foothold in Fujian, he decided to step on someone to take the position, and this person must be very influential and status, so that he can step on it.

In the end, he chose Li Ziqian.

However, it was not easy to step on his position, and at first he was ready to directly frame Li Ziqian for colluding with Wu Guo, but Cheng Yuanshan and Changsun Wen both objected.

Changsun Wen proposed a plan, he thought that he could first investigate whether Li Ziqian had any enemies in Fujian, and if so, he could collude with his enemies to frame Li Ziqian together.

This investigation was very fruitful, and Li Ziqian's enemies turned out to be more than they imagined, so they found Li Ziqian's most powerful enemy, Chen Hongjin, and the two sides hit it off and jointly planned a conspiracy against Li Ziqian.

The conspiracy is like this: Li Ziqian was persuaded by his fellow villager Zhang Dezhong to secretly defect to Wu State.

The reason why Li Ziqian persuaded him not to attack Wu Yueguo was the meaning of King Wu, and Lu Yuan, the king of Wu, did not want to work hard to conquer Hangzhou, but it turned out to be cheaper to stay in Hangzhou, so he ordered Li Ziqian to dissuade him from sending troops.

But it's useless to just talk about it, you still need evidence.

Chen Hongjin sent someone to Kaihua Li Ziqian's house, stole the letter between him and Zhang Dezhong, and asked the master to use Zhang Dezhong's handwriting to forge a letter between the two.

Reasonable inference, coupled with the letter as evidence, and Li Xingfu as a witness, Liu Congxiao finally became suspicious of Li Ziqian.

In particular, he felt that Li Ziqian was originally from Hui'an Mansion, and he was kidnapped by himself, but now that Lu Yuan is powerful, it is reasonable for Li Ziqian to take refuge in him.

In this way, Li Ziqian was snubbed, although he was still the prime minister, he had no real power.

Li Xingfu was reused and was named a servant.

……

The Imperial Palace of the Min Kingdom.

In the Qingde Palace, Li Xingfu is playing against Liucongxiao.

Li Xingfu fell down and said, "Your Majesty, do you know why Lu Yuan, the king of Wu, has been able to get to this point?" ”

"Is there any particular reason?" Stay with the effect followed by a son.

Li Xingfu stretched out three fingers: "In less than three years, he has changed from a small county order to the current lord of Wu, does Your Majesty think this is normal?" ”

"I heard that Feng Yanting raised him." Stay with your hand to support your chin.

Li Xingfu fell into a son, shook his head and smiled: "Feng Yanting's strength was inherited by Lu Weiyi, and Lu Yuan didn't get anything. ”

"Oh? So how did he get to where he is today? ”

"Has Your Majesty heard of Yufeng Village?"

"I think I've heard it mentioned." Liu Congxiao was secretly funny, he sent Xuanfei to be a thief in Hui'an Mansion at the beginning, just for Yufeng Village, how could he not have heard of it.

"Yufengzhai is the power of the minister, and in a place like Yufengzhai, there are many ministers under him."

"What do you mean?"

Li Xingfu said word by word: "Lu Yuan was actually raised by the minister, but it is a pity that he betrayed the minister later." ”

Liu Congxiao was slightly startled, then shook his head and smiled, obviously not convinced.

"Your Majesty, do you know how Lu Yuan conquered Hangzhou?" Li Xingfu said lightly.

"I don't know." Liu's voice became more eager, something he had always wanted to know.

"When Lu Yuan attacked Hangzhou, someone sacrificed the city gate, and that person's name was Xue Cheng, who was one of the eight generals under the minister."

Liu Congxiao stared at Li Xingfu's eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Didn't you deceive Yu Me?" ”

"Your Majesty can send someone to investigate." Li Xingfu was calm.

"Even if what you said is true, now that Lu Yuan no longer listens to you, what can you do for me?"

"The minister can help His Majesty get Tang Bian!"

Liu Congxiao stood up suddenly: "You should know that there is no joke in front of you, right?" ”

"The minister knows very well, the truth is not hidden, Tang Bian's father is loyal to Li Tang, and once asked him to assist me, but unfortunately this person is too inflexible, the minister has gone to him several times, but he is unwilling to submit to me. However, he is a dutiful person, and as long as he calculates properly, there is still hope. Li Xingfu raised his head and looked at each other.

After pondering for a moment, he sat down: "I will send someone to investigate these things, I want to know one thing now." ”

"Your Majesty, please speak."

What do you want? "Stay with the effect and the eyes are sharp.

Li Xingfu bowed his head and arched his hand: "After Your Majesty rules the world, I hope that Your Majesty can crown me as the King of Tang and give me a fief for me to govern." ”

"Yes, I promise you." Stay with a smile slightly.

After that, the two played silently and said nothing, and in the end, Li Xingfu lost half of his son.

After Li Xingfu retreated, the chief eunuch who stayed by his side bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, this person has wolf ambitions, and he must not be guarded against. ”

"It doesn't matter, as long as he is useful, I am not afraid of wolf ambitions, I am afraid of snakes and rats." Stay with a smile on your beard.

After a pause, his expression became more serious: "Dehai, you send someone to Wenzhou to check on Tang Bian's father's situation, and then send someone to Hangzhou to check the information that Lu Yuan has conquered Hangzhou." ”

"Yes." The old eunuch took the order and left.
