Li Xun and Gu Yong led 8,000 soldiers to Yingzhou City, and Mao Anfu ordered people to open the city gate and welcome Li Xun and others in.

It was dusk, and the city was littered with corpses, and many soldiers were cleaning up.

Gu Yong asked, "General Mao, how is the battle going?" ”

"With Zheng Chun as the internal response, we are very smooth is to rush into the city, the city defender will not be able to react, we blocked in the house, directly killed, the enemy saw that their own master will be killed, the army is in chaos, has no intention of fighting, under the leadership of its deputy general, led the remnants of the army more than 1,000 people to escape from the north city gate, we killed 2,000 enemies, captured 3,000 enemies, and lost less than 300, which can be described as a complete victory."

Mao Anfu said with a smile, obviously in a very good mood.

Li Xun didn't speak beside him, he held his arms with both hands, his face was a little pale, his lips were blue, his body trembled from time to time, it had been raining for several hours, and the temperature was very low, Li Xun couldn't stand it.

Mao Anfu noticed Li Xun's state and said with concern: "Judge Li, I have already asked people to prepare hot ginger water, and hot water, drink ginger water and take a hot bath later, don't catch the wind cold." ”

Li Xun shook his head: "I'll still hold on, I'll see the general first." ”

Li Xun and others arrived at the Jiedu Embassy and met Huang Xu.

Gu Yong explained what happened in detail.

After hearing this, Huang Qian nodded again and again, and said in admiration: "Zhao Bo'an is really a decisive person, I was originally very worried that your whole army would retreat, in this way, it would give the other party a chance to pursue, but now it seems that I am too worried, with Zhao Bo'an in the army to stabilize the overall situation, Zheng Ze and others did not have this opportunity, but were restrained in Mi County and couldn't move." ”

Li Xun said: "Huang Baichuan led 20,000 troops to come, are we fighting or defending? ”

Huang Zhi pondered for a moment and said, "We have just experienced a big battle, and the soldiers are already exhausted, so we can defend the city on the spot and wait and see what happens. ”

Gu Yong said worriedly: "The battle situation in Hongzhou is critical, why don't we go to the rescue?" ”

Mao Fuan said with a smile on the side: "The general has sent five hundred cavalry, more with war horses and military flags, and thousands of cavalry to Hongzhou, pretending to be posturing, Yang Liecheng learned of this situation, and must have thought that the general would personally lead the army to rescue Liangcheng, and he would definitely withdraw his troops temporarily, and Liangcheng could be temporarily preserved." ”

Huang Qian glanced at everyone and said: "I have arranged a place to live in Jiedu Mansion, you all go to have a good rest, when Huang Baichuan's army arrives, we should look for an opportunity to fight with it, once Huang Baichuan is defeated, Yang Liecheng will definitely not dare to attack Liangcheng again, so he can only withdraw his army and retreat to Ezhou." ”

"Yes!"

The crowd bowed their hands and scattered.

Now there are 10,000 people in Huang Baichuan's hands, although it is only half of the number of Huang Baichuan's army, but the gap between the two sides is no longer absolute, and the initiative is back in his own hands.

In the middle of the night, Huang Baichuan led an army of 20,000 people, and finally rushed to Yingzhou City 20 miles away, set up camp, and sent people to clear the surrounding enemy patrols and horses.

In the camp of the Chinese army, Huang Baichuan stood with his sword in hand, Huang Zhiwen stood aside, and ten meters in front of them, there were more than ten men in black kneeling on one knee.

Huang Baichuan glanced at the soldiers on the side, who had already opened a large box, which was full of gold and silver treasures.

"Ladies and gentlemen, if we can succeed tonight, the treasures in the box will be taken by Ren Er and others, and we will share the wealth."

The men in black looked at the treasures in the box, their faces showed a heavy look of greed, they lowered their heads, and shouted in unison: "I am willing to die for the general in order to become rich." ”

..................

Li Xun drank ginger water, took a hot bath, and most of the chill on his body disappeared, then drank some wine and ate something, and slept under the quilt in a daze.

In the middle of the night, Li Xun felt that his dantian was swollen and was awakened by a burst of urine, so he went outside, found a corner, pulled off his pants, and sprayed it refreshingly.

It rained heavily for several days, and now the rain is finally getting quieter.

Suddenly, there was a slight sound not far away, Li Xun subconsciously turned his head to look, but there was a look of shock on his face, only to see dozens of meters away on the left, in the dark, black shadows swaying, those black shadows, one jump, is three or four meters high, moving quickly on the roof, extremely agile, almost no sound.

"Martial arts master?"

This was the first thought that rose in Li Xun's mind, and then he came to his senses, and hurriedly squatted down, Li Xun faced the wall, and on the left side was a one-person high mountain rock, which just blocked Li Xun's whole figure, so that the other party could not see it.

Li Xun looked nervous, observing the movement not far away through the gap in the rocks, the direction they were moving in was not Huang Xu's residence?

No matter how stupid Li Xun was, he knew the intentions of these people, and they actually infiltrated the Jiedu Mansion and came to assassinate Huang Xun.

When those people walked away, Li Xun hurriedly returned to the bedroom, took the sword and was about to rush to Huang Xuan, after taking a few steps, Li Xun stopped, thinking that those people were quick to reach out, and they were not easy people at first glance, they didn't know martial arts, and it was useless to go, so they rushed out of the house.

Dozens of soldiers were guarding the house, and a leading officer was leaning against the wall, half-squinting.

An arm was heavily placed on the officer's shoulder, the officer was startled, turned around to look, saw that it was Li Xun, and said unhappily: "Judge Li, what do you mean by running here to tease me when it's so late, not sleeping at home?" ”

The officer drove for a few hours, arrived at Yingzhou City, after a big battle, he was already exhausted, and unfortunately he was drawn to the drudgery of the vigil, and he was in a bad mood, and when he saw Li Xun at this time, he thought he was teasing himself, and immediately shouted angrily, extremely dissatisfied.

Li Xun had a calm face and said urgently: "Someone wants to assassinate the general, you should go to the rescue quickly." ”

The officer was stunned and said in disbelief: "How is this possible, there are only a few of you living in the mansion, there are no outsiders, I have been here for half the night, and I haven't seen anyone enter the mansion!" ”

While he was talking, a group of dozens of patrols passed by, and the officer led by saw Li Xun wearing pants and holding a long sword in his hand, with an anxious face, so he raised his hand to let the soldiers behind him stop, walked over by himself, and asked strangely: "What's the matter?" ”

"Captain Zhou, Judge Li said that someone wanted to assassinate the general."

Zhou Duwei looked at Li Xun, who stomped his feet, was very anxious, and shouted: "Lao Tzu is not joking with you, there is really someone who wants to assassinate the general, you don't save it, Lao Tzu will save it himself." ”

Li Xun gritted his teeth and rushed into the mansion reflexively.

Seeing Li Xun's expression, Zhou Duwei's face changed suddenly, he understood that Li Xun would not make such a joke for no reason, could it really be that someone had infiltrated the mansion and wanted to assassinate the general?

"Wang Er, you immediately go to the barracks to find General Jiang and ask him to bring someone here."

Captain Zhou took out the big knife at his waist and yelled, "Others, follow me to save the general." ”
