Pang Xun did not wait for Liu Xuan, but waited for Zhu Youzhen's department from Dahuangshan to win. Nearly 20,000 soldiers were defeated, and Pang Xun only took more than 1,000 relatives to flee back to Xuzhou City in embarrassment.

The gate of Xuzhou is closed, and the lights are bright above the city.

Seeing Liu Xuan standing at the head of the city with his whole body armor, Pang Xun couldn't help but be overjoyed, it must be Liu Xuan who found out that the situation was not good, and retreated to Xuzhou City first, although he didn't save himself and made people unhappy, but at this time, for Xuzhou City, Liu Xuan's neat thousands of soldiers and horses became a lifesaver.

Dai Yue will come to save himself, relying on Xuzhou City, it is no problem to hold on for a few days.

He jumped forward, looked up at the head of the city, and shouted: "Liu Xuan, I am Pang Xun, open the city gate quickly." ”

Liu Xuan's laughter came from the head of the city, and with a wave of his hand, the drawbridge was not lowered, the city gate was not opened, but a large rain of arrows shot down.

The Wuning army under the city was stunned.

Pang Xun was also stunned for a moment.

But right away, he reacted.

"Liu Xuan, I treat you well, and you betrayed me?" Pang Xun roared angrily, regardless of life and death, he approached the horse towards the city, and bluffed a group of guards to quickly hold their shields and come over to cover him firmly.

"Pang Shuai, husband and wife are originally birds in the same forest, and they fly separately when the disaster comes, and the husband and wife are still like this, let alone us!" Liu Xuan didn't shy away from anything, and said bluntly: "We don't want to accompany Pang Shuai to the funeral, so we can only choose another master." ”

Liu Xuan said it so bluntly, Pang Xun couldn't say anything. glanced at the city with hatred, beat the horse and ran into the distance, the city was no longer able to enter, and if he didn't leave, he was caught up by Zhu Youzhen and Cao Bin, but he was afraid that he would die under the city.

"Brother Liu, why don't you shoot him to death under the city with random arrows, wouldn't this be another great achievement?" Zhou Qun looked at Liu Xuan puzzled and said.

Liu Xuan shook his head: "As Pang Xun said, he treats me well, in fact. I betrayed him, it's not a thing anymore, but people always ask for a future, I'm not just one person, but a big family. Not killing him with my own hands is my bottom line. ”

Zhou Qun laughed: "Brother Liu is right, anyway, Pang Xun can't escape a dead word this time, it doesn't matter where he dies or who he dies in." ”

Zhu Youzhen did not rush to Xuzhou City overnight, but let Liu Xuan and Zhou Qun wait in vain for a night, until the next day, Zhu Youzhen was late, and saw Zhu Youzhen's banner coming from a distance, and the gate of Xuzhou City was immediately opened.

"Sin General Liu Xuan, I have seen the Third Highness!" Although Liu Xuan was wearing armor, he didn't even wear a knife, knelt in front of Zhu Youzhen's horse, and kowtowed vigorously.

Zhu Youzhen turned over and dismounted, hurriedly walked in front of Liu Xuan, and helped him up as soon as he bent over: "General Liu has made a great contribution to me, why do you want to say that you are guilty?" From now on, you will be the general of my beam. Xuzhou is newly determined, and General Liu still needs to worry about this defense! ”

Liu Xuan was stunned, he thought that as soon as Zhu Youzhen arrived, he would definitely send his own people to take over Xuzhou City in order to make sure that everything was safe, this was also common sense, he didn't have any resistance, but he didn't expect Zhu Youzhen to say a word, and he actually let him be responsible for the defense of the entire Xuzhou City.

"The last general must do his best, and dare not slack off in the slightest!" Liu Xuan knelt on one knee, no matter what, he was really a little heartbroken by Zhu Youzhen's bearing now

Zhu Youzhen laughed and picked up Liu Xuan, took off the single knife from his waist, and handed it to Liu Xuan's hand, "This knife has been with me for many years, and now it is given to General Liu." ”

Looking at Liu Xuan, who was hanging a single knife for himself, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, at this moment, he felt that he would really sell his life to the Third Highness in front of him in the future.

Although Liu Xuan was in charge of the defense, the thousands of Xuanwu troops led by Cao Bin still followed Zhu Youzhen into the city.

At this moment, Jiang Qi was stationed in Dahuangshan, and Zhou Zhen directly drove to Kuishan.

A day later, Tian Guofeng and Chen Fu returned with their troops, and Tian Guofeng was holding a bloody human head in his hand, which made Liu Xuan, who welcomed the return of the two above the city, can't help but shudder.

It was Pang Xun's head.

The fleeing Marshal of Wuning still did not escape Zhu Youzhen's pursuit, looking at those dead eyes, Liu Xuan always felt that he had been staring at him.

The once luxurious Marshal Mansion of Pang Xun has now changed owners. Zhu Youzhen stood on top of the festival hall, looked at the map of the whole territory of Wuning, and looked at Cao Bin and Tian Guofeng, Chen Fu and others with emotion: "After more than half a year of hard work, I finally have a territory that truly belongs to me." ”

Tian Guofeng nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, this is like when I was a bandit in the past, I was in danger, and I was driven everywhere by the officers and soldiers, and it was not until I gained a firm foothold on Mount Tai that I felt steady." Your Highness, you should be down-to-earth now, right? ”

Chen Fu pulled him violently, Tian Guofeng might as well be pulled, but he was pulled aside, and turned around and glared at Chen Fu angrily: "What, did I say something wrong?" ”

Zhu Youzhen laughed: "It's not rough to say, but Guofeng, I'm different from you, and now I'm just a little at ease, and I have a long way to go." Now, what do you want to do most? You are a great hero, I promise you whatever you want! A big house, gold and silver treasures, or beautiful women? ”

"Of course I want both!" Tian Guofeng grinned and said: "But what I want most is that His Royal Highness can transfer an army to me immediately, and I want to train them well immediately, this time I watched General Cao and Pang Xun fight against horses and horses, and I found that I was still close to counting!" ”

"Okay, okay, no problem!" Zhu Youzhen was overjoyed: "The thousands of people you trained in Qingzhou earlier will be returned to you, and you will be allowed to requisition some horses to gather 10,000 people." When the matter in front of you is over, you will go to Pei County to be stationed and where to train the troops. ”

"Your Highness, how can you transfer the second child of my family to be the county commander of Pei County, if I go to Pei County, it will definitely use the income of Pei County to support the army, and the third child and I are not good at making money!" Tian Guofeng said.

"Think beautifully!" This time it was not only Zhu Youzhen, but even Cao Bin laughed. "Xu Xiang is doing a very good job in Tai'an now, and he is already the king of a mansion, follow me, how can there be a reason for officials to become smaller and smaller. Next, I will definitely transfer him to Wuning, but how can I overkill him and let him be a county magistrate? ”

"The cost of my army?"

"Then you can rest assured!" Zhu Youzhen said lightly: "Li Ze's way of controlling the army, I have studied it quite a lot in the past few years, and in the future, I will allocate all the military expenses, you just need to train the soldiers well." Take a good rest for a few months, and then follow me to the world next year. ”

"That's a good idea!" Tian Guofeng was happy again: "As long as I have money to support the army, I don't care where the money comes from, but I can worry a lot less!" ”

After looking around the entire hall, Zhu Youzhen looked at Shi Hong and said, "What about Pang Xun's family?" ”

Shi Hong said: "When we didn't come yet, we were all killed. ”

"Liu Xuan did it?" Zhu Youzhen frowned.

Shi Hong shook his head: "It's Zhou Qun." ”

Zhu Youzhen's face was a little uncertain.

Shi Hong smiled slightly and said: "Your Highness, Zhou Qun has indeed used too much force in this matter, but this person can still use it, just use it carefully." ”

Zhu Youzhen sighed: "I actually hate such a person, but Liu Xuan, it seems that he can't choose clearly, but it can be more reassuring." Sometimes, it is too ruthless and unjust, and it is also chilling. ”

"When the water is clear, there are no fish, and there is no way to investigate, and His Highness's subordinates also need such people. Especially Wu Ning has just fallen into our hands, there must be both pacification and harshness, this harsh thing, you might as well let Zhou Qun do it. ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded: "I'm going to transfer Xu Xiang to come to Wuning to serve as the chief historian and be responsible for the civil affairs of the entire Wuning, Zhou Qun, let him be a don't drive and take care of the judiciary!" ”

"Xu wants to come to Wuning, what should Tai'an do?" Cao Bin asked.

"Tai'an is a hot potato!" Zhu Youzhen thought for a while and said, "Now that we have a place to live, Tai'an, let's slowly hand it over to Cao Xuan." The order was sent to Liu Xinda, asking him to seize the time to train a new army in Tai'an, and after the spring of next year, Tai'an as a whole would be handed over to Cao Xuan, and Liu Xinda would be stationed in Xuanwu. Next, our target is the south, which is Huai'an and Eyue. ”

"Liu Xinda Xuanwu, I'm afraid it will cause a backlash from some people!" Shi Hong whispered. "There will inevitably be opposition in the court."

"It doesn't matter, leave these things to my third uncle to deal with!" Zhu Youzhen smiled: "As long as Xuanwu doesn't object after staying, what others say is in vain, it's really not good, so let the third uncle take Liu Xinda into it." ”

A few looked at each other, and they all laughed.

Although there is Wuning, but Xuanwu can control it, it has the most powerful backing, and furthermore, Xuanwu plus Wuning has formed a de facto encirclement of Gunhai, directly cutting off the connection between Gunhai and Chang'an Luoyang and other places.

"Iron striking will eventually need its own hardness, the next thing we have to do is to run Wuning well, train the soldiers well, and after the spring sowing next year, we will go south." Zhu Youzhen waved his hand and said: "Gentlemen, do your own thing, work hard!" You will not fail me, and I will not fail you. ”

"I am willing to serve the three highnesses!" Several people in the lobby clasped their fists and saluted.

Outside the lobby, there was a sound of rapid footsteps, and an officer hurriedly entered, bowed down and said: "Your Highness, General Liu Xuan's office of the city defense department sent someone to report that an army has approached Xuzhou City." ”

"I think it's Gon Haidaiyue, and I'm finally here!" Zhu Youzhen smiled and said: "Now that the overall situation has been decided, does he still want to see if he can take advantage of it?" Let's go, let's go and meet this Uncle Dai Shi together! ”
