Chapter Twenty-Seven: Swords and Soldiers

Although Song Ji was angry a lot, he was still extremely angry in his heart, he was expecting his two sons to share some of the burden for himself, but he never thought that King Jin'an, who was the eldest son, would run away from the battle.

Song Ji came to the Jin'an Palace, only to see that the queen Qin Mu, the concubine Qi Ningyu and others all looked solemn, Qin Mu's face even had tears, Song Ji suppressed his displeasure, and asked the imperial doctor he brought to personally check Song Xiao's pulse and check his physical injuries.

Seeing the constant change in the imperial doctor's face, Song Ji felt that the problem seemed to be a little serious, and he couldn't help but ask, "What is the situation?" ”

The imperial physician put down Song Xiao's wrist and said a little timidly: "Your Majesty, the knife wound suffered by King Jin'an was not fatal, but due to the loss of a lot of blood, his body was deficient in blood and his pulse was weak, and the other ......" The imperial doctor seemed to stop talking.

"Say it quickly."

"In addition, the minister is a little puzzled, why the wound of King Jin'an has not completely stopped bleeding until now."

"What?" Song Ji was a little shocked.

"The minister checked the injury of King Jin'an, and the wound itself was not fatal, but so far, there are still symptoms of bleeding, and the wound is infected."

"What are you doing to eat, people have brought it back, why don't you find someone to heal?" Song Ji said angrily to Qin Mu and the others.

"Your Majesty, this Xiao'er has been using the prescription prescribed by the imperial doctor in the palace, and the concubine doesn't know how to use medical skills, so how can you know the truth in this." Qin Mu said sadly.

"The imperial doctors in the palace are all one in a million, Xiao'er's injury will stop the bleeding, this can't be done, what are you eating?" Song Ji yelled at the accompanying imperial doctor.

"Your Majesty is angry, the imperial doctor in the palace really shouldn't make this mistake, the minister is brave, can you take a look at King Jin'an's prescription?" The doctor didn't want to take care of this on his own, so he had to check the prescription to find out why.

The palace maid brought Song Xiao's prescription and medicine residue, the imperial doctor first looked at the prescription, and then inspected the medicine residue, and suddenly realized, and then said in panic: "Your Majesty, this medicine ......."

"Say!"

The imperial doctor suddenly knelt on the ground and said tremblingly: "I'm afraid that someone has done this medicine." ”

"You made it clear to me." Song Ji was a little angry.

"It stands to reason that in addition to this kind of injury, the prince should be bandaged with hemostatic herbs such as thistle, supplemented by astragalus, white peony, Chuanqiong and other drugs to replenish qi and nourish blood, from this recipe, not only is there a lack of qi and blood nourishing medicine, but there are also foreign bodies such as cinnamon, it is really incomprehensible, how is this not like the prescription prescribed by the imperial doctor in the palace?"

"It's just audacious, where did this recipe come from?" Song Ji asked.

Qin Yong and the others were very frightened, so they all looked at Zhang Zhaoyi.

Zhang Zhaoyi suddenly knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, this ......"

"Who are you?"

"Your Majesty, this is Zhang Zhaoyi, the guard in the minister's mansion, in order to protect the king of Jin'an, the minister sent him to follow the prince south, and this recipe was also taken from him."

"Zhang Zhaoyi? I ask you, is it your prescription? ”

"Your Majesty, the grass people don't know medical skills, where can they prescribe prescriptions, this prescription is ....." Zhang Zhao also wanted to speak and stopped.

"You give me an explanation today, you still have a chance to live, if you can't tell me why, I will divide your five horses."

"Your Majesty spared his life, the day to the south in a hurry, and the king of Jin'an insisted on low-key acts, so did not bring the palace doctor with him, and later in Yuzhou was attacked by the rebels, reinforcements were delayed, the prince personally went into battle, unexpectedly seriously injured, under the encouragement of the prince, the soldiers repelled the rebels, at this time the king of Changning appeared with a large army, the grass people were anxious about the injury of the king of Jin'an, so they asked the king of Changning to borrow him in the account of the doctor, this prescription was prescribed by the doctor, the grass people thought that this was the prescription prescribed by the doctor when there was no problem, and then the prince returned to Tai'an, The grass people still use this recipe to grab the medicine, but who knows......" Zhang Zhao also kept lying on the ground and said.

Song Ji's face changed greatly, he couldn't imagine that this ridiculous recipe could no longer be ridiculous actually came from the imperial doctor in the tent of King Changning, he slowed down, and retreated from the palace maids, entourage, Qin Mu, Qi Ningyu and others, and then said seriously: "Zhang Zhaoyi, what you said today is very important, if there is half a lie, do you know the consequences?" ”

Zhang Zhao also kept bowing to the ground and said firmly: "Your Majesty, when there are many people in the Japanese army, it can be proved that this recipe was opened, and the handwriting is here, so it can't be faked." ”

"What's his name?"

"It seems to be called Cui Cheng."

"Someone, go and call the Imperial Doctor's order and Huang Chengxiao."

summoned the order of the Imperial Physician to come, naturally to ask him to verify whether there was a person named Cui Cheng in the Imperial Physician's Department, and in addition, whether he was with the Changning Wang Army, Song Ji got the answer was naturally yes.

And Huang Chengxiao naturally confirmed Zhang Zhaoyi's statement.

Things have developed so far, Song Xiao, the king of Jin'an, only then did he understand what Qin Yong meant, and although Qi Ningyu didn't know the following text, she also faintly sensed Qin Yong's intentions, she couldn't help but be happy, King Changning and King Jin'an were afraid that they wouldn't be able to stop if they didn't see each other this time.

Song Ji's life is naturally not good, on the one hand, his two sons are fighting openly and secretly, on the other hand, the north abandons and suddenly goes south, Molanguan is afraid that it will not last a few days, for the government, he has not cared about it for many years, so he has almost no idea how to use people at this moment, what is even more annoying is that Dali Temple secretly went to check the imperial doctor named Cui Cheng, and found countless gold in the house, and there are many certifications that confirm that he often visits the palace of Changning, which is nothing more than the fact that the king of Changning borrowed the hand of this imperial doctor to secretly frame the king of Jin'an, What should I do now, thinking about it, I still have to call Qin Yong to discuss countermeasures.

"Your Majesty has already verified?" Qin Yong asked knowingly.

Song Ji waved his hand weakly and said: "This Cui Cheng's family members are not all in Tai'an, I must have planned it a long time, I can't imagine it, I am bent on avoiding the matter of Lichu, but there are so many incidents, you can tell me, what should I do?" ”

As for the truth of the matter, Qin Yong naturally knows better than anyone else, the struggle for the crown has never been a matter of one or two days, at the beginning, his countermeasure was just to bite Lu Shoufu and reduce his troops, so as to suppress Song Yao's forces, but Cheng Jinshang suddenly made a rebellion, and the rebels everywhere followed suit, and the imperial court's control over the local area suddenly became extremely weak, and this Lu Shoufu ushered in a respite, until now he is almost openly against the imperial court, but he has been a minister for decades, and his understanding of the forces of the imperial court is far more transparent than ordinary people. This time it was not a whim to suddenly suggest that the emperor let the two princes go south, and his purpose was no longer just to let Lu Shoufu send some troops, what he ultimately wanted was to take this opportunity to completely defeat Song Yao, and as for whether Cheng Jinshang chose to fight Song Yao or Song Xiao, he each thought of a way, if Cheng Jinshang attacked Song Yao first, then let Song Xiao take Yuzhou, and find an opportunity to attack Song Yao, of course, if Cheng Jinshang attacked Song Xiao first, it would naturally be the current situation, so no matter what, this time, He didn't even plan to make Song Yao feel better.

"Your Majesty, now that the truth is revealed, it is really incomprehensible that King Changning is doing this, but now that he is far away in Yuzhou, and he has a heavy army, he must not be impulsive." Qin Yong deliberately said with a worried face.

"So what do you say?"

"Since the King of Changning first sent someone back to Tai'an to say that the King of Jin'an escaped with a fraudulent injury, he naturally hoped that His Majesty would snub the King of Jin'an, and even, even put the King of Jin'an to death, in order not to alarm the King of Changning and prevent the Yuzhou Mutiny, Your Majesty will not care about the affairs of the King of Jin'an these days, and now the imperial doctor has re-diagnosed and treated the King of Jin'an, and there is no danger to his life, General Huang still has tens of thousands of people near Yuzhou, and the King of Changning does not dare to act rashly, and when the situation in Yuzhou is stable, His Majesty will recall it to Tai'an with another edict, and then it will not be too late to deal with it, just......”

"Something to say."

"These young King Changning are naturally not idle in the palace, and the minister is worried that His Majesty will find out about King Changning's deception by someone, and then King Changning will openly rebel with the help of Lu Shoufu, what should he do?"

"I gave him ten dares!" Song Ji was furious.

"Your Majesty is angry, having said that, Lu Shoufu's strength in Bozhou cannot be underestimated, and it has been secretly rooted for many years, and its strength is far beyond the understanding of the imperial court, if it can really solve the problem so easily, this Lu Shoufu will not be so arrogant, and openly disobey the imperial court."

Song Jichang sighed, he really had no choice, slowed down, and said, "The prime minister doesn't seem to be worried, is there any idea?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister has an idea, but it still needs Your Majesty's approval."

"Say it."

"Lu Shoufu has great achievements in war, and his prestige in the army is extremely high, if he makes trouble, the consequences are unpredictable, looking at the abyss, now the only one who can compete with him is General Ran Mingli." Qin Yong said slowly.

"Ran Mingli? Where is he now? This Song Ji couldn't remember where Ran Mingli was for a while.

"Your Majesty, General Ran has been garrisoning Jingzhou for many years."

"Oh, yes, yes, but isn't General Ran going to guard Wei Rong?"

"Wei Rong is in civil strife, the second son's ancestor is thinking of seizing power, and he still relies on His Majesty to make him king."

"Yes, the military department did report on the battle a few days ago, but why didn't Wei Rong send an envoy here?"

"As soon as the civil strife has subsided, it will naturally take some time."

"Well, in that case, I will transfer Ran Mingli back to Gyeonggi to defend it, and in addition, the other generals of Gyeonggi Guard will not be able to move." Although Song Ji was confused, he still knew the importance of this Gyeonggi Guard to Taean City.

"That's natural, Gyeonggi is important, and it shouldn't be changed too much."

"This has been done in advance, but what about the northern border, how long can Molan Pass be guarded?"

"The ambition of abandoning the wolf son in the north, this time the sudden army is overwhelming, the situation is indeed not optimistic, but there are still nearly 200,000 troops in Tongzhou, and the military department has issued an order, and the garrisons from all over the country will immediately support Molan Pass, the cornerstone of my Dayuan for hundreds of years, how can the little barbarian clan easily move?"

"Spread my will, Molan Pass must be guarded, if it is lost, this guard will not have to come back alive."

Qin Yong naturally nodded in agreement, but in fact, he didn't have a bottom in his heart, but in his opinion, the most important thing at the moment was not the border defense, but the power of the imperial city, Song Yao's matter, at present, his goal has almost been achieved.

Song Yao was very close to Yuzhou, but he couldn't get in, in front of him were tens of thousands of Yunwei led by Tao Chenmo, the two sides had been deadlocked for many days, although there was no fighting, but no one dared to take it lightly.

Song Yao was looking forward to the defenders of Yuzhou coming to respond, but he only received the news that Yuzhou was besieged, and like Lu Wenzhao, although he didn't want to fight Cheng Jinshang so soon, but now the two armies are only ten miles apart, no matter what, a tough battle is inevitable.

Lu Wenting followed Liang Pingchuan to levy Yunyang, although he did not directly fight with Tao Chenmo, but he had seen him confront Liang Yunbi, he knew what the person in front of him meant to him and to King Changning, so at this time, he also suggested that King Changning should not act rashly.

But waiting is not a way, the purpose of Song Yao, the king of Changning, is to get Yuzhou, and now it is impossible for a Tao Chen to break his thoughts, so after waiting for a few days, he decided to test the temptation.

And at this time, Lu Wenzhao was eager to try, because he had already heard that this Tao Chenmo was very powerful, and since he saw him today, he might as well go and meet him.

Lu Wenting knew that this battle was inevitable, so he didn't stop it, but repeatedly told him to be careful.

Lu Wenzhao came to the front of the battle on his horse and asked Tao Chenmo to fight.

At this time, Li Xiu stood up, and Tao Chenmo was naturally willing to let him try.

didn't wait for Tao Chenmo to come, Lu Wenzhao was very dissatisfied and unwilling to fight Li Xiu.

Li Xiu smiled: "If you can't even pass my level, you are not worthy of fighting General Tao." ”

"Okay, since your kid took the initiative to send it to the door, grandpa will let you see it." After saying that, he rushed towards Li Xiu with the Huoyun long knife.

Although Li Xiu is only fighting in Qianzhou most of the time, but his martial arts are very human, Lu Wenzhao and Lu Wenting are collectively known as the Bozhou Twins, and they are naturally not general, so there is no temptation for these two people to fight, every move is a kill, Lu Wenting never imagined that this Tao Chenmo had such a good hand, this battle is much more difficult than imagined, Tao Chenmo did not care too much about the situation on the field at the moment, he was thinking about another thing, now the king of Changning was blocked by himself outside the city of Yuzhou, Will this Lu Shoufu take the risk of sending troops to the rescue, now Bozhou's military strength is far stronger than Yuzhou, if Lu Shoufu takes the initiative to attack, then Yuzhou is afraid that it will not be able to be saved, how to break this situation now? At the moment when Tao Chenmo was thinking, the two on the field had fought for dozens of rounds, and neither side was bargaining, Lu Wenzhao's Huoyun Knife was as imposing as a rainbow, and Li Xiu's Water Moon Painting Halberd was also full of energy, Lu Wenzhao never expected that a nobody under Tao Chenmo would have such ability, and he would be a little impatient after more than ten rounds, but he was a battle-hardened person, although he was a little impatient, but his body was not messed up, and he had to reposition Yunwei's combat power in his heart. It seems that this Cheng Jinshang is really not an ordinary reckless thief, he was really careless just now.

Seeing that it was difficult to solve on the field, Tao Chenmo ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops, although Lu Wenzhao and Li Xiu both wanted to divide the victory, but there was no need to fight to the death even if the order was issued, not to mention that the coming day was long, and there would be opportunities in the future, Li Xiu retreated, and Lu Wenzhao did not chase again.

"Why didn't the general let me fight him?" Li Xiu asked a little puzzled.

"If you fight like this, you've already won." Tao Chenmo said with a smile.

"I haven't seen a victory."

"What they want is Yuzhou, now they can't even pass your level, they will be in a hurry, on the battlefield, it's not your life or death that is called victory, sometimes people's hearts fall, that's really losing, in comparison, we have more time, so if Lu Wenzhao doesn't win you, he loses." Tao Chenmo said.

Sure enough, Lu Wenzhao, who returned to the camp, was very annoyed, he wanted to take this opportunity to show off his prestige and let Yun Wei be three points timid, but he would have thought that he would fight for a long time without a win.

"Wen Zhao doesn't have to be annoyed, even Old General Liang didn't get a bargain in Yunyang back then, and now the situation is nothing to us." Lu Wenting comforted.

"Big brother, you really didn't fight with this Tao Chenmo back then?"

"I was recalled by the imperial court before I had a chance, I told you that even Brother Liang Yunbi was defeated at his hands, so you have to be careful when dealing with him."

"If I lose in the hands of Tao Chenmo today, then I have to think better, but I haven't even won a nobody under him, do you think it's angry?" Lu Wenzhao was still a little unhappy.

"Who's fighting you?"

"Self-proclaimed Li Xiu."

"This Li Xiu is not a nobody, judging from your fight with him, this Li Xiu must be the Li Xiu in the Dayuan Tongzhou Army back then, after he was demoted to Qianzhou, he served under Yang Mingzhen, Chu Chunan requisitioned Qianzhou, and was almost captured by him, you should have figured it out now, right?"

"I remembered when you said this, there is such a person, big brother, it seems that this Tao Chen's expedition to Qianzhou is not just as simple as destroying Yang Mingzhen, he regularly recruited a capable person under Yang Mingzhen."

"Yes, the old general Liang Pingchuan was full of praise for this Tao Chenmo, and now it seems that this person is indeed worthy of his name, and we have met a real opponent."

"So what's the case now? Yuzhou is close at hand, but this Zhong Jie can't shrink out, and when the king enters the city, he will be chopped up and fed to the dogs. King Changning asked.

"Don't be impatient, this Zhong Jie is Qin Xiang's person, he won't help us unless necessary." Lu Wenting said.

"But this king can't just spend it, right?"

"The prince is a little restless, a little rest, and he will meet this Tao Chenmo when he is humble." Lu Wenting said.

And at this moment, Cheng Jinshang is also racking his brains thinking about how to drive the Bozhou army out of Yuzhou, at first everyone just thought that the two kings of the southern expedition had their own ghosts, and they couldn't become a climate, where did they think that this king of Changning was determined to Yuzhou, this bureau is not unbreakable, the problem is that Yunyang only has more than 200,000 troops, if Lu Shoufu sends troops to help and take the opportunity to eat Yuzhou, Yunyang's troops are obviously not enough. At this time, Qu Hongsleeve proposed to recruit Chen Zhengang from Yunzhou to go to Yuzhou to support Tao Chenmo, in order to prevent Lu Shoufu from suddenly increasing his troops.

Cheng Jinshang and Tao Chenmo are not wrong, Lu Wenting has always advocated that Cheng Jinshang should be restricted before he is completely strong, so he is naturally very eager to take Yuzhou, Tao Chenmo is in front, there is no other shortcut, then only from Bozhou to find a way, so he repaired a letter and urgently sent it to the Bozhou General's Mansion, asking Lu Shoufu to take the opportunity to send troops to gnaw the hard bone of Yuzhou, so as to completely limit Cheng Jinshang's power in the south.

Afterwards, he decided to go to the meeting with Tao Chenmo.

This time, Tao Chenmo did not let Li Xiu and others fight, but personally went out to face Lu Wenting.

"General Tao, long time no see." Lu Wenting said.

"General Lu, don't come unharmed."

"Last time, I didn't have a chance to fight with you, and today I'm afraid I will inevitably have to ask for advice." Lu Wenting said.

Tao Chenmo smiled slightly, and said slowly: "In the battle of Yunyang, although Brother Cheng Yanwu was defeated in your hands, he was full of praise for you afterwards, so he also wanted to fight General Lu very much. ”

Speaking of Cheng Yanwu, Tao Chenmo couldn't help but feel a little sad, Lu Wenting seemed to recall the past, when Yunyang Tianying Guan was in the first battle, although they were opponents on the field, but the two of them were convinced by each other, more like confidants, Lu Wenting won but didn't work, he preferred interesting opponents.

"I heard that Cheng Yan's brother died on the battlefield, it's a pity, I also wanted to have the opportunity to learn from him again, alas." Lu Wenting couldn't help but feel a little sad, they are all men on the battlefield, except for the soldiers themselves, others can't experience this kind of sadness at all, today's killing of the Quartet may be in a different place tomorrow, this is a life that cannot be escaped on the battlefield.

"Cheng Yan's eldest brother died a heroic death in order to protect Yunyang, and we also took Yang Mingzhen and the entire Qianzhou as a gift for him, so at the moment, no matter who it is, it can't endanger Yunyang, and King Changning is no exception." Tao Chen said fixedly.

"But can you hold it?"

"It's man-made."

"Then I have to take it? Don't forget, reinforcements from Bozhou are ready to arrive, and I don't want to see what happened to Brother Cheng Yan happen to you again. ”

"General Lu, you think too simply, Qin Xiang has been staring at Bozhou for many years, at this moment, if General Lu still dares to divide troops to rescue, Qin Yong will give an order, Bozhou will be available at his fingertips, otherwise why do you think he tried his best to ask your Bozhou army to follow the king of Changning south?" Tao Chenmo didn't know if Qin Yong thought so, but it didn't matter, the important thing was to create a crisis for Lu Wenting, so that he didn't dare to ask for help from Yuzhou easily.

This sentence really worked, Lu Wenting never thought about this matter, originally King Jin'an was injured and hurriedly returned to Tai'an, he had doubts in his heart, and now that Tao Chenmo said this, he was naturally more worried in his heart, but he quickly regained his calm, he didn't want Tao Chenmo to see through his thoughts.

"It's useless to talk too much, you and I should be superior." With that, he carried his weapon and killed him.

Tao Chenmo patted the horse to greet each other, the two of them killed together, only to see the knife light, dust rolling, iron ping-pong, horses' hooves were chaotic, the people on the sidelines were worried, Lu Wenzhao was even more intent, the two of you come and go, more than 100 rounds passed quickly, Tao Chenmo killed faster and faster, guns were like rain, Lu Wenting parried more and more difficult, he knew the subtlety of Tong Shuai Lihua's marksmanship, although he tried his best, he was finally picked off the horse by Tao Chenmo, Lu Wenzhao immediately got on the horse and moved forward, he was afraid that Tao Chenmo would hurt his eldest brother, but Tao Chenmo did not go further, Instead, he put away his offensive and said: "Yuzhou must not be ceded to the King of Changning, General Lu, you should think more about Bozhou, at the moment your biggest enemy is not us, but the imperial court." Then he turned and left.

Lu Wenzhao arrived, helped Lu Wenting up, and checked carefully, but fortunately he was only slightly injured and there was no major problem, so he was relieved.

"Are you alright, big brother?"

"It's fine."

"This Tao Chenmo is really powerful, even the eldest brother can't beat him."

"Brother Liang Yunbi can't win against him, and it's naturally difficult for me to win."

"Then why did the big brother come to challenge?"

"Just wanted to test his attitude."

"So what now?"

"He doesn't want to hurt me, he's right, we should guard against Qin Yong."

"What the hell is going on?"

"Wen Zhao, we naturally can't give up this Yuzhou, you immediately arrange a fast horse, I want to write to my father."

"Didn't the eldest brother just send it out?"

"Tao Chenmo said that if Bozhou divides the army again, Qin Xiang will definitely take the opportunity to take Bozhou, his words cannot be fully believed, but he can't not believe it, Qin Xiang is afraid of Bozhou for a day or two, I need to write another letter, as for what my father wants to do, it is all up to his old man."

"Okay, I'll go."

This time, Tao Chenmo won completely, he not only defeated Lu Wenting, but more importantly, he distracted Lu Wenting, Lu Wenting returned to the tent, and told the king of Changning the conversation with Tao Chenmo completely, and the king of Changning also felt that Tao Chenmo made sense, and at this time, Lu Wenting also said the doubts in his heart when the king of Jin'an returned to Tai'an, this king of Changning began to feel that something was wrong, he hurriedly asked people to get in touch with Tai'an as soon as possible, to inquire about the situation in the palace, now is the critical time to fight for the prince, one wrong step, It is likely that it will never be recovered.

Although the defenders of Yuzhou did not go out of the city, but there was news to the military camp of the king of Changning, the news was not received by the king of Changning, nor Lu Wenting, Lu Wenzhao, but the strategist Jiao Lian Song on Lu Wenzhao's house, he originally received the order to try to prevent the Bozhou army from fighting directly with the Yunyang army, but now the situation has changed, the news has become "wait and see", the shorter the message, the deeper the meaning, of course, except for his own people, others will not understand.

If the battle in Yuzhou is just a breeze, then Tongzhou Molan Pass is a shower, the north abandoned 200,000 troops like mercury, unstoppable, although there is a natural danger to defend, but after all, there are less than 80,000 defenders, day after day siege, Molan Pass has been precarious, this is the first time that Tulan Bingmu succeeded to the throne of the north to attack the abyss itself, this battle is to test the border defense of the abyss, and the other is to release the wildness of the people who have been sealed for many years. On the contrary, the Dayuan army has long been different from what it used to be, and its combat power has been greatly reduced, only to hear a loud bang, Mo Languan closed the door and fell to the ground, Tulan Gurou took the lead, the scimitar in his hand was as light as a willow leaf, but the place where he passed was like mowing grass mustard, the Dayuan soldiers had no power to resist, and Tulan Boxiu was also able to kill, but he always took care of his county lord, for fear that she would encounter any trouble.

Two hours passed, the Molan Pass was completely taken, the army of the North Abandon was all stationed, for a time, the chickens and dogs in the city jumped, the people raced to flee, the suppressed North Abandon soldiers began to lose control in the city for many years, sometimes there were soldiers to plunder the people, adulterous women The news came to the barracks, the general Tulan Wukao first opened one eye and closed one eye, it was secretly acquiesced, Turan Gurou was very angry after hearing this, and ordered that all those who burned and killed the looters would not be spared, this time, many soldiers were not convinced, saying that the Han people had oppressed them for hundreds of years, and the feng shui took turns, Now it's time to repay, but then she found Wu Kao first to ask for reason, Wu Kao first tactfully pleaded with Turan Gurou, saying that the soldiers are working hard to attack the city, and they should be rewarded, Tulan Gurou was furious, because she always remembered Qiu Xinzhi's advice or request to Tulan Bing Muti, if you want to fight for the world, you must have a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, and a single person is weak, but the people of the world are the masters of all things, they can be respected by people, and they can also instantly make people become prisoners of the order, if they don't treat the people well, there is no way to talk about fighting for the world. Wu Kao Xian didn't like Qiu Xinzhi's rhetoric very much, so he was very dissatisfied with Tulan Gurou's decision, so he hoped that Tulan Boxiu would help him say a few words, but Tulan Boxiu had always been loyal to Tulan Bingmu, so he naturally didn't want to offend Tulan Gurou, and Tulan Wukao was very angry.

When Tulan Gurou heard that Tulan Wukao was dissatisfied, she was even more annoyed, and called Tulan Wukao to the tent first, and asked, "How many kings are there in Beiqi?" ”

"County Lord, there is naturally only one king in the north."

"Who is it?"

"Naturally, it's the elder brother of the county lord."

"Does what the king says count?"

"Of course it counts."

"Before going south, Brother Wang and Mr. Qiu explained many times that no matter how many enemies they killed in order to attack the city and plunder the village, they must not hurt the people in the slightest, and the soldiers are not unaware of what they are doing, but not only do you not stop it, but you have to intercede for them, is this considered listening to the king?" Turan asked softly.

Turan knew the seriousness of the matter before he knew it, and immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty.

"Let me ask you again, are all women just playthings in the eyes of the general?"

Wu Kao was frightened first, and his body was already lying lower, because he knew that the person asking the question in front of him was a woman, and she was also the county lord of Beiqi, so he hurriedly said: "There is a saying among the Han people that women do not let their eyebrows be bearded, and they dare not have this idea. ”

"Then why do you condone the rape of the women of the city by your men?"

"Humble duty, humble duty is only because I feel that the soldiers are working hard to attack the city and need to be rewarded, and the Han people have oppressed us for many years, and there are many grievances in our hearts, so we have made a big mistake, the county lord forgives the crime, as for those soldiers who violate the military order, the county lord will deal with it according to the law."

"Wu Kaoxian, your fault is not only to disobey the king's military orders, but also to discuss your intentions in private, you are the general of my northern abandonment, if you dare to question Brother Wang, what do your soldiers think?"

"The county lord spared his life, he was quick to do his job, he never thought of such a consequence, he was favored by the first king, and he had no second heart for me to abandon the royal court in the north, and he knew that he was wrong, so please punish the county lord." Wu Kaoxian's face was already covered with beads of sweat.

"I have the right to say that when what you say is true, you are just quick for a while, so I can treat this matter as if it didn't happen to you in private, but you are a general, and you know how to deal with soldiers who violate military orders."

"The county lord is lenient, the county lord can rest assured, he must remember the teachings of the county lord in his humble position, and he will never make the same mistake again in the future. Wu Kao Xian said with sincere fear.

Tulan's bones softened a lot, helped Wu Kaoxian, and said softly: "General, what the prince wants is the whole world, not a city, you are the pillar of my north, you must not make any mistakes, otherwise who is charging for my people and attacking the city?" ”

"County Lord, don't worry, you will be strict with military discipline in the future, and I will ensure that I will live up to the high expectations of the county lord and the prince."

"Okay, then you can take care of the business."

Turan Wukao first came out of Turan Gurou's camp, he was already sweating profusely, he was a good hand at attacking the city, of course, he was also a rough man, where would he think of what Turan Gurou said, especially at the beginning, he put himself on a charge against his will, which scared him a lot, so although he was reluctant, after coming down, he still beheaded all the nearly 100 soldiers who had burned and looted before according to Turan Gurou's intentions, so that the situation in the city was eased.

According to Qiu Xinzhi's plan, the siege of the northern abandonment army is not to take it for itself, at least not to move forward, its main purpose is to test the border defense of Dayuan, the second is to seize armaments and materials, and third, it is to use the advantage of the northern abandonment cavalry to eliminate as many living forces as possible in Dayuan, after all, compared to the northern border defense of Dayuan, there are nearly 500,000 people, and it is not the time to fight hard with it. Therefore, the Northern Abandon Army did not stay too long after capturing the Melan Pass, but continued to wave its army south and kill in the direction of Youzhou.

In fact, Qiu Xinzhi's understanding of Dayuan is not bad at all, Molan Pass was lost, and General Yunlu of Tongzhou knew that he could not escape the blame, so in order to save his life, almost all the troops in Tongzhou were mobilized to begin to encircle and suppress the North Abandon Army, at the same time, Qin Yong ordered that some of the defenders of Anzhou and Chuzhou also began to assemble in Tongzhou, so that after the battle of Molan Pass, the remaining more than 160,000 North Abandon Army became a little thin.

At this time, Lu Shoufu also received a letter from Lu Wenting, and he had two choices, one was to give up Yuzhou and keep the foundation of Bozhou; The second is to bet that Qin Yong will not dare to make a move on Bozhou, and he will divide his troops in Yuzhou, so as to expand his territory. Bozhou and Chongqing are directly bordered by Zhongzhou Tai'an, in contrast, Bozhou has much advantages over Yuzhou in terms of both Ding staff and materials, if Yuzhou unfortunately loses the foundation of Bozhou, it is likely that the gains outweigh the losses, so after thinking about it, he replied to Lu Wenting, the war in Yuzhou alone with 100,000 troops, can be taken will be taken, can not be taken will be withdrawn.

Receiving a letter from Lu Shoufu, Lu Wenting was somewhat disappointed, he actually believed that Qin Yong would not be so risky to do something to Bozhou, but since his father had his own plans, he had to comply, at present, he had 100,000 troops in his hands, and there were more than 40,000 Dayuan defenders in Yuzhou City, but these people have not moved so far, presumably they are naturally unwilling to become the king of Changning, so they can't have too much hope for them. On the other hand, Tao Chenmo on the opposite side has more than 80,000 people in his hands, and Wang Jinyi's 40,000 army under the city of Yuzhou.

At this moment, King Changning, Lu Wenzhao and Lu Wenting have exactly the same thoughts, they all want to take the opportunity to take Yuzhou, this is a rare opportunity, and if they want to send troops to Yuzhou in the future, I am afraid that they will never be able to pass the imperial court.

Lu Wenzhao and Lu Wenting are both promising generals who are famous in the abyss, when the two brothers joined forces to fight Xianzhen without the power to fight back, and since then the Lu family has established the Lu family's immortal family business in Bozhou and even the entire Dayuan, so although the situation is difficult at the moment, they are determined to face the difficulties, since they have no certainty of victory, then Tao Chenmo is naturally the same, so it is better to fight life and death, make up your mind, then do it.

Although it has entered autumn, but at this time Yuzhou is already very hot, the southbound Bozhou army has long been unable to endure such a bad weather, they also want to leave this ghost place earlier, so with the order of the king of Changning, the Bozhou army rushed to Tao Chenmo's position like a flood, Tao Chenmo had already prepared, the order flag waved, Li Xiu, Ji Heqing each led a group and Tao Chenmo into three phalanxes separated, the Bozhou army saw that the other party suddenly separated a little overwhelmed, but the horn sounded, and had to move forward, no matter which team he had, he could just confront the enemy, so that, the Bozhou Army fought on its own, which was also something that Lu Wenting and Lu Wenzhao did not expect beforehand.

The three armies of Yunwei formed a phalanx, took care of each other, advanced and retreated, in terms of soldiers, the Bozhou army was not much more, plus the Bozhou army was eager to win, some were in a hurry, and the formation of Tao Chenmo was mobilized, the offensive of the Bozhou army began to become a little chaotic, and in less than half an hour, the offensive of the Bozhou army was completely reduced, and Tao Chenmo took Yunwei to move forward steadily and began to squeeze the space of the Bozhou army.

Anyone is like this, the momentum at the beginning was repulsed, and it will become depressed in a short period of time, the Bozhou army has become more disorganized at the moment due to the suppression of the offensive, it was originally an attack, but now it has become a retreat, an hour has passed, the fatigue of the Bozhou army has been revealed, and it has begun to be a little ineffective.

Lu Wenting saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly beckoned Lu Wenzhao to retreat, after all, unlike half of the grass bandits, the Bozhou army retreated quickly and did not completely mess up. Seeing Lu Wenting retreating, Tao Chenmo ordered to stop the attack and solidify the formation on the spot, so he repelled the Bozhou army for ten miles, his formation was steady and steady, and it was not suitable for pursuit, and Tao Chenmo did not want to swallow the 100,000 Bozhou army in one gulp, he knew that it was unrealistic, and his main purpose was to make Lu Wenting retreat.

Single-handedly before the battle, Lu Wenzhao and Lu Wenting didn't get any bargains, they set up a formation to attack, and they didn't advance but retreated, which made them very depressed, he was not the king of Changning, and he was so angry that he had nothing to say at this moment.

At this time, Lu Wenting couldn't help but think of Liang Pingchuan, the days of following Liang Pingchuan made him learn that the two armies were facing each other, and he couldn't just see what was in front of him, and he couldn't just see the front of the general, although there was no other way to drag down Tao Chenmo, but Tao Chenmo did not take the opportunity to attack to make him understand that in fact, Tao Chenmo also had some concerns, since this is the case, then he will be reorganized, Tao Chenmo can set up a formation, then he can also set up a formation, after this battle, his own damage must be more than Tao Chenmo, and now the strength is completely equal, Then come one-on-one, use the formation to attack the formation, and fight who is more resilient, he informed Lu Wenzhao and King Changning of his thoughts, and the two had no other way, so they naturally agreed.

Wang Jinyi, who was in a hurry under the city of Yuzhou before, heard the good news ahead, and the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, and after thinking for a while, he began to order people to shout the slogan "The king of Changning is defeated and retreated, and Zhong Mingcheng is surrendered" outside the city, shouting round after round. This is to make the defenders in Yuzhou City give up the idea of rescuing the king of Changning, and the second is to declare to them the strength of Yunwei and psychologically disintegrate the other party, in addition, Wang Jinyi specially ordered people to move some stoves not far from the city, and began to make a fire to cook under the nose of the defenders of Yuzhou, and make some spicy and delicious side dishes, so that the defenders in the city drooled, absent-minded, and did not know what medicine he bought in the gourd.

An Yingdong didn't expect Yun Wei to show his advantage so quickly, and after so much time, he didn't see Bozhou increase his troops, it seems that Lu Shoufu didn't want to take Yuzhou from the beginning, on the contrary, Yun Wei was determined not to let the imperial court or Lu Shoufu get involved in Yuzhou, and at this time, he received a message from Yunyang, the content was "abandon Chongqing and enter the Prime Minister's Mansion", and the later payment was "Yufeng", An Yingdong already had the bottom in his heart, and as far as the current situation is concerned, once Tao Chenmo repelled King Changning, Coupled with Wang Jinyi's series of offensive strategies outside the city, it was only a matter of time before Yuzhou fell, so it naturally made sense for Shangfeng to make this decision at this moment, what he had to do now was how to retreat without giving Qin Yong the truth.

Lu Wenting, who had eaten a trench, began to reorganize his soldiers and horses, and after fully resting, he planned to attack Tao Chenmo again, this time he did not plan to rush forward, but was ready to fight hard with Tao Chenmo, but at this time, he got a very unfavorable news for himself, that is, Yunyang reinforcements arrived.

And he was also surprised by Wang Jinyi and Tao Chenmo, they almost took away most of the troops in Yunyang, never thought that the process Jinshang could also send tens of thousands of reinforcements for them, when he saw Chen Zhengang, Wang Jinyi understood everything, this Chen Zhengang was personally recruited by him, so the relationship between the two is naturally good, after a little greeting, Wang Jinyi specially arranged more than 40,000 reinforcements from Yunzhou to go around outside the city of Yuzhou, the purpose is to completely crush the will of the defenders of Yuzhou, this circumambulation, the effect is very obvious, Most of the defenders of Yuzhou retreated in their hearts, where did they still have the heart to defend the city. After that, Wang Jinyi secretly arranged for Chen Zhengang to lead the army to aid Tao Chenmo.

Seeing the arrival of the other party's reinforcements, Lu Wenting's plan to fight hard with Tao Chenmo had to be shelved, the Bozhou army was defeated for a while, and the morale was already affected a lot, but now seeing the arrival of the other party's reinforcements, the morale fell again, and Lu Wenting and Lu Wenzhao had to re-examine the situation in front of them. Now there is no point in fighting with Tao Chenmo again, not only can he not take Yuzhou, but also bury the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers in vain, after thinking about it, the two decided to withdraw their troops, although the king of Changning is unwilling, but he is not a reckless man, and the current situation does not allow him to have a second choice.

In this way, the complicated situation in Yuzhou began to become clear because of Tao Chenmo's offensive plan and Lu Shoufu's indecision, Yunwei completely controlled the overall situation of Yuzhou, and the Bozhou army had to leave in a huff.

The Bozhou army retreated, Tao Chenmo and Wang Jin Yibing were united, the defenders of Yuzhou knew that the general trend had gone, and there was a lot of cowardice, Zhong Jie was a little flustered, did he want to fall into the hands of Cheng Jinshang again, An Yingdong was relatively calm, first, it was inevitable that the city of Yuzhou would be broken, and secondly, Shangfeng also happened to give up Yuzhou's order, and he was more concerned about how to retreat.

"Oh, I said sir, why don't you care at all, I'm going to fall into Cheng Jinshang's hands again, last time he let me go, and this time I'm afraid it's not so easy."

"But what I mean is that you want to fall into the hands of Cheng Jinshang again."

"What?" Zhong Jie couldn't believe his ears.

"Don't worry, the old man will accompany you, and Cheng Jinshang will definitely let us go."

"How so?"

"I have my own arrangements for this, you don't have to think about the rest." An Yingdong is confident.

According to An Yingdong's meaning, when Tao Chenmo and Wang Jinyi and Chen Zhengang attacked the city, Zhong Jie personally led the soldiers to guard the city gate, and the result naturally did not need to be said, the defenders of Yuzhou, who had already lost all their will to fight, naturally could not withstand the onslaught of Yunwei, and in less than two hours, Yuzhou Nanjimen and Linjiangmen fell one after another, Yunwei rushed in, and Tao Chenmo and Wang Jinyi returned to Yuzhou.

At this time, Lu Wenting, who had already arrived in Bozhou, suddenly led his army south and went straight to Yinzhou after the king of Changning and Lu Wenzhao discussed, he never planned to return empty-handed, on the contrary, he knew that the overall situation of Yuzhou had been decided, since he could not get involved in Yuzhou, then he would take Yinzhou.

There was no general's mansion in Yinzhou, only more than 20,000 state troops and various rebel forces, where could they withstand the rampage of nearly 100,000 troops, and soon, half of Yinzhou fell into the hands of the Bozhou army.

This change made Tao Chenmo unexpected, his focus has always been in Yuzhou, where did he think that Lu Wenting suddenly switched to Yinzhou. Yinzhou is located east of Yuzhou and south of Bozhou, if Lu Shoufu controls Yinzhou, he will contain Yunwei from the flank in the future, and Yunwei's northward advance will always be difficult to solve his worries. On the side of the couch, how can others be allowed to sleep soundly, after Tao Chenmo and Wang Jinyi agreed, it was decided that Wang Jinyi would lead 100,000 troops from Yuzhou Nanjiang to Yinzhou, not necessarily to say that Lu Wenting drove out of Yinzhou, but at least he could not completely control the gateway of Yuzhou, and then spread the news to Yunyang.

After receiving the report of Tao Chen's last battle, Cheng Jinshang was also very shocked, it seems that the Bozhou Twins are really worthy of the name, and they are advancing by retreating, which is a high move, but now that the battle situation is like this, there is no other way, since Yuzhou has been won, then move to Yuzhou first, and then think about it in the long run.
