The Yangzhou army just fought a big battle with the Chinese army sailors led by Xiao Yushu, and even Zhang Huai was wounded. If it weren't for Di Xia and the Changyun Army who set fire to twenty sea dragon boats, broke into the flank of the Chinese Army's naval division with a suicidal attack, and disrupted Xiao Yushu's position and tore through the hole to rescue the Pingjiang Army, the consequences would be unimaginable. Even so, the Changyun Army lost 3,000 people, and in a short period of time, it had no strength to fight again, and withdrew from the stage of competition in advance.

The terrible thing is that although Xiao Yushu won, he did not chase after him, he fought steadily, the purpose was to block the Yangzhou army in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and prevent them from joining forces with the Jingzhou army, which was a strategic victory. When the main force of the Chinese army defeated the Jingzhou army, the Yangzhou army could only be captured with no resistance.

Therefore, he knew that the pursuit might expand the results of the battle, but the pursuit might also fall into Zhang Huai's trap, so he resolutely rejected the request of his subordinates, and on the grounds of "poor Kou Mo chasing", he gathered his troops and firmly held Liangshanzhou.

“…… Xiao Yushu is only cautious in using troops, not seeking victory in every battle, first based on undefeated, and then patiently looking for fighters, waiting for the enemy to show flaws, and then concentrating forces to break it. Zhang Huai received an arrow in the shoulder, but fortunately he was not poisoned, and the injury was not too serious, and he woke up with medicine, and said with a pale face: "On the contrary, we must pass through Liangshan Prefecture as soon as possible, and join Jingzhou outside Jinling City......

The cabin was crowded with lieutenants of various departments of the Pingjiang Army, and everyone had heavy faces, not that they were afraid of heavy casualties, and it was impossible to fight without dying, not to mention that Yangzhou was constantly transporting troops and grain to Jingkou, and the newly built warships were also being delivered in large quantities.

What they are afraid of is Xiao Yushu!

Xiao Yushu rose to prominence due to the White Thief Rebellion, defeated the sharp-edged Chiba, and established a great reputation. After that, he was idle at home, no official and no position, and the two sides fought many times during this time, and the Pingjiang army suffered a lot, but it can be seen that there is no vain under the fame, and no one dares to underestimate him.

The generals looked at each other, Xiao Yushu was like a dragon in the river, one man was a prisoner, no one could come up with a good plan, and they all looked at Zhang Huai with blank eyes.

Although he lost more than he won against Xiao Yushu, everyone's trust in Zhang Huai is increasing day by day. Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, Xiao Yushu is so powerful, if he changes someone else as the main general, I am afraid that the Pingjiang army will have already lost its armor and will be defeated, Zhang Huai can defeat without chaos, and the command is moderate, everyone sees it in their hearts, and they are also very respectful, how to fight this battle, and they have to listen to Zhang Huai's orders.

Zhang Huai supported the sick body and summoned the generals to give a lecture, just to dispel the fear in their hearts and re-boost their morale, and said: "Xiao Yushu is victorious, but if you lose, you will lose in this stable word, I have a plan to break the thief, just wait for the new warship to arrive in Beijing, I will definitely be able to capture Xiao Yushu alive and avenge the dead brothers...... Return to your headquarters, and appease your soldiers, and do not be discouraged by a temporary defeat. The general trend is in me, victory is expected, do you understand? ”

"Understood!"

Everyone responded in unison, Zhang Huai's composure made their sluggish momentum recover a lot again, and at this moment, the soldiers walked in quickly and said, "The general invited the military commander to participate in the meeting of the front of the scene, and the herald is waiting outside the hatch......

Zhang Huai knew that something important must have happened, so he didn't dare to slack off, reluctantly stayed, pushed away the soldiers who came to help him in a hurry, and said in a deep voice: "Take the official robe and change your clothes!" ”

The Qinglong Fighting Ship is heavily guarded, with two steps and one post, three steps and one sentry, and anyone who enters must go to the weapon and search his body, and then he can visit An Xiulin. As soon as Zhang Huai entered the cabin door, An Xiulin's soft and concerned inquiry immediately sounded in his ears, and said, "Jingyi, is the injury better?" ”

Zhang Huai was about to pay homage, but An Xiulin had turned out from behind the main seat, held the back of his hand, and personally sent him to the seat, and said with a slight apology: "You were injured by an arrow, and you should have rested, but there was a sudden emergency, and you had to trouble Jingyi to cross the boat to discuss......"

Zhang Huai was moved, sat up straight, and said, "Does the general look at me like I'm injured?" A slight injury, not in the way, annoying the general's concern, the festival is panicked. ”

"It's okay, it's okay!" An Xiulin patted him on the shoulder, turned to the main seat and sat down, looked at Xie Xiwen, and said, "Everyone is here, let's start!" ”

Xie Xiwen first reported the losses in the last battle, as well as the follow-up supply situation in Yangzhou, and put forward the next battle plan and alternative plans. Zhang Huai listened quietly, did not make a sound, he knew that today was not for these things, the real topic was in the end, sure enough, after everyone finished discussing, Xie Xiwen ordered the others to retreat first, leaving only Zhu Li, Zhang Huai, Di Xia, Wei Buqu and a few other people in the cabin, and fifty troops were arranged outside the cabin, and there were no idlers within twenty steps around.

"The third brother summoned me to Jiangning to meet ......"

Rao is already mentally prepared, Zhang Huai was still dizzy by this sentence, and when he reacted again, he heard An Xiulin say: "...... I decided to set off immediately, with Zhu Li in charge of military affairs, assisted by Di Xia and Zhang Huai, and all war matters were carried out by the three of them through consultation, and Zhu Li had the right to make arbitrary decisions on the spot, and there was no need to ask for instructions. Everyone else is in his own right, and he must not slack off......"

Coming out of the cabin and seeing that there was no one around, Zhang Huai asked in a low voice, "Sima, why didn't you advise the general just now?" ”

Zhu Li smiled: "When brothers meet, we are all outsiders, how can we persuade us to come?" ”

Zhang Huai faintly worried, and said: "I'm afraid that between brothers, it may not be as harmonious as neighbors......"

"Jing Yi is cautious!" Zhu Li's sharp eyes swept the surroundings, pulled him down the gangway, and when he reached a hidden place, he reprimanded: "Shiyun 'walks alone, is there no one else?'" It's not as good as my father', the foolish people still know the relatives of brothers, far better than others, how can we, as courtiers, be separated from the flesh and blood of the heavenly family? ”

Since the Spring and Autumn Period, have there been fewer brothers killing each other? Just looking at the An clan today, there are already several siblings who died in the hands of An Xiuming, who dares to guarantee that King Jiangxia does not have the same mind?

Sudden conscription, it's really strange!

However, Zhang Huai would never contradict Zhu Li, and said respectfully: "The third uncle taught a lesson!" ”

Zhu Li stroked his long hair, squinted his eyes, and said, "What's more...... Even if you want to cross the river and tear down the bridge, now is far from the time, the king of Jiangxia is a dragon and a phoenix, Yan Wan is extremely intelligent, and he will not do such a stupid thing of digging his own grave! ”

The whereabouts of the King of Linchuan are naturally top secret, that night, Xie Xiwen entered the main cabin as usual, Xu Shunhua appeared as usual, and some people even heard her complaining that the King of Linchuan drank and disregarded his body - this is the norm in the back house of the hussar general, after all, the general is afraid of the inside, and the world knows it.

Tsing Yi small hat, pretending to be an ordinary merchant, An Xiulin was being carried on his back by Zhu Wuchen, and Xu You went to Jiangning by land, in order to avoid the war zone and densely populated villages and towns, he deliberately took a long detour, but there were two little grandmasters with him, and the footsteps were much faster than normal people, even the horseback riding was similar.

After a night of rapid travel, when the sky was bright and he had seen the city wall of Jiangning, Guo Mian arranged the car to wait on the left side of the road early, let An Xiulin sit in the car, entered the city unimpeded, and went straight to the temporary residence of the palace. When he saw An Xiuruo's corpse with his own eyes, An Xiulin, who had learned from Xu You on the way, was still in pain, Xu You looked at people with God, and knew that he was not faking, but really sad. The three generations of the An family have been widowed, and there are benevolent and righteous people like An Xiulin, but they are also an outlier.

finally waited for him to stop his tears, but he sat still, as if the three souls had lost their six souls. Guo Mian motioned for Xu You to come to the outer room, and said unceremoniously: "When the day is changed, how can you imitate the woman crying and crying?" I have no one in Linchuan, and the king of Jiangxia is far away! It is a helpless move to serve him as the master today, and Shichiro should make a plan as soon as possible in the future......"

Xu You said: "Emperor Daxing, Yao Yan, Lord Xianliang, and Yuan Yu, Lord Wei, these three are all wise masters who are majestic and strategic, and swallow mountains and rivers, but the chaos in Jiangdong is like this, the decline of Guanzhong is imminent, and the smoke in the north is everywhere, how is the Ming Lord?" The common people are devastated, and it is because of the Lord of the Ming Dynasty. The king of Linchuan may not be as good as these three people, but he knows how to make good use of people, and listens to benevolence, as the master of people, in my opinion, it is enough! ”

Guo Mian shook his head and didn't say anything. The two returned to the room, An Xiulin finally got rid of his sad emotions, looked at Xu You with teary eyes, and said: "Seventh brother, my brother's heart is in turmoil, and I have no idea, what do you say next, I will do it!" ”

Xu You said softly: "Brother-in-law, His Royal Highness was poisoned for six days, and this revenge will be avenged, but now I can't leak the news, there is a hard battle ahead, and I can't withstand any waves." My thoughts, this is ......."

Listening to Xu You's bold plan, An Xiulin's expression changed, he hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, just do it!" But, will Yan Wan agree? ”

Xu You said lightly: "He sacrificed the song to poison the King of Jiangxia, even if he didn't know it in advance, he couldn't get out of it." If he didn't make meritorious deeds, why did his brother-in-law spare his life? ”

Yan Wan was not tied, there was no stuffed cloth in her mouth, and she had all the food and use, except that she could only move around the house, she was no different from ordinary people. Guo Mian disdained to torture him, it was a cowardly act, although he was a eunuch, he was more like a hero than most men in this world.

Seeing Xu You push the door in, he was not surprised, sat still, and sneered: "Guo Laogou invited you to be a lobbyist?" ”

Xu You frowned and said, "I thought that he was a smart man who joined the army, and his tongue was fast, faster than other people's knives?" People are swordsmen, I am fish and meat, since I want to live, I will be more obedient, Guo Gong will not kill you, it is his big belly that can tolerate it, but if you seek death by yourself, even I can't save you! Why don't I leave first, and then we will talk when I have figured out this in the army? ”

"Guo Mian doesn't dare to kill me!"

Yan Wan's tone softened, Xu You was right, the matter had come to this, what was the use of getting a little cheap on his tongue, he stood up, bowed his hand, and said, "Kill me, Your Highness...... 's death can no longer be concealed, let alone explained to the Jingzhou army, once the change occurs, it will be taken advantage of by Jinling, and the rebellion will be abandoned......"

Xu You sneered: "I missed the idea of joining the army, without Butcher Zhang, can I still eat hairy pigs?" Tan Xiaozu and I have old friends, it is not difficult to convince him to support, with Tan Xiaozu, even if someone in the army wants to make trouble, it is only a disease of scabies, and it can be determined. However, I pity your talents, and it is a pity to die, so I decided to give you another chance, and as for whether you accept it or not, it is up to you to ......"

The only death through the ages, Yan Wan wanted to seek death, and on the night of King Jiangxia's death, he committed suicide by hanging himself, and the reason why he was surviving was that he wanted to bargain and try his best to get more benefits. In this way, things have become simpler, since he doesn't want to die, he has no other choice but to accept Xu You's proposal and conspire with them to play a scene.

This may be the most important drama in the world since the birth of a hundred operas in the Han Dynasty!
