Su Yi and Niu Heng scrambled to tell Zhang Shumo about it, wanting to please Zhou Gang. Zhou Gang was also amazed after hearing this: "A kid who is less than the age of the weak crown can actually make the Northwest Army deflated one after another, so this Zhang Shumo is also a talent, and the old man wants to see him!" ”

Niu Heng hurriedly said when he heard this: "My father is a county order under Zhang Shumo, if the adult wants to see Zhang Shumo, the villain is willing to take the lead." ”

"No need!" Zhou Gang despised Niu Heng: "Zhang Shumo may really have some skills, but it is not worth mentioning compared to my Jingguo army." In less than two days, my Jingguo army will sweep through the northwest, am I still afraid that I won't be able to see Zhang Shumo? ”

Niu Heng felt empty when he heard this, people didn't even pay attention to chapter books and ink, what kind of thing was he? It seems that if you want to survive, you can't rely on others alone. Thinking of this, Niu Heng said again: "The Jingguo army is invincible, the villain has lived in the northwest since he was a child, and he is willing to be the guide of the army, and serve the Jingguo army before and after the saddle!" ”

Zhou Gang smiled slightly: "I don't need a guide for the Jingguo army, but for the sake of your piety, I'll give you a chance to let you see the divine power of my Jingguo army!" ”

Su Yi saw that Niu Heng had escaped death and hurriedly said: "My lord, I am also willing to be the guide of Jingguo and take a look at the divine power of the army!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the people present burst into laughter, and Ji Wen said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Huaiguo is full of people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, why worry that my army is invincible?" ”

Zhou Gang also smiled and said, "It's enough for the guide to ask for one, you'd better think about what else you can do?" ”

Su Yi said without thinking about it: "I am General Zhenxi, and the entire Northwest Army has to listen to me." If you leave me, I can let the people of Xu Liang and Mengzhou surrender directly, and I can also let the 30,000 troops of the Western Route Army surrender, and then you can dominate the northwest without spending a single soldier! ”

Zhou Gang nodded with satisfaction: "Sounds very good, okay, I'll give you a chance, if they don't surrender by then, you will die a miserable death!" ”

Su Yi couldn't help but shudder when he heard this, he didn't have confidence in his heart about whether people would surrender for him. So he comforted himself tremblingly: "It's okay, my mother is still in Xu Liangcheng, she will definitely not let herself die!" ”

Zhou Gang didn't pay attention to the two of them anymore, but said to his subordinates: "Pass my order, everyone will repair in place for two days, and then attack Xu Liangcheng!" ”

In Xiuwuzhi City, Zhang Shumo was discussing the issue of taxation with Cai Zhi, when Lu Li hurried in: "Gongzi is not good, I just came to report from the scout, saying that an army of tens of thousands of people is approaching us, judging from the banner, it should be the Northern Route Army!" ”

"The Northern Route Army?" Zhang Shumo immediately frowned when he heard this: "They don't resist the Jingguo army in Dieling, why are they coming to us?" Unless......" Speaking of this, Zhang Shumo immediately jumped up: "Not good! It must be that the Dieling Pass was lost, and the Northern Route Army was defeated and fled! Come on, follow me and see! ”

After speaking, Zhang Shumo led a group of people out of the city.

didn't go far, Zhang Shumo and his party met a man and a horse, and the person who came was Jiang Bin! After Jiang Bin left Qinghua City, he caught up with Han Jia, and then the two of them came to Xiu Wuzhi together to join Zhang Shumo. In order not to let Zhang Shumo misunderstand, the two of them camped fifty miles outside the city with a large army, and then Jiang Bin alone came to explain the situation to Zhang Shumo.

"Zhang Gongzi meets again!" Jiang Bin arched his hand towards Zhang Shumo.

Zhang Shumo asked unceremoniously: "Jingguo people called?" Thanh Hoa City lost? ”

Jiang Bin nodded ashamedly: "Jingguo broke through the Dieling Pass, and Liu Ye died in battle." In order to preserve his strength, Peng Mao asked me to come to Gongzi and wait. Jiang Bin has always felt guilty about abandoning the city and fleeing.

As soon as Zhang Shumo heard a buzzing sound in his head, the situation in the northwest was difficult to control, and he had to let his father know the news.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shumo asked Jiang Bin again: "How many people are there in Jingguo?" How many men do you have left? ”

Jiang Bin thought for a while and said, "We still have about fifteen thousand people, led by me and General Han Jia. As for the number of Jingguo's army, I don't know very well, they sent 150,000 troops, and after the battle of Dieling Pass, they had at most 1230,000 horses. ”

Zhang Shumo couldn't help but rub his temples when he heard this: Even if Jingguo only has 100,000 horses left, there are only more than 20,000 people on his side, plus less than 80,000 men and horses of the North Route Army and the West Route Army, they are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers. Moreover, the Jingguo cavalry is powerful, fighting on this great plain, both in combat power and mobility are much stronger than the infantry, it seems that this time you have to ask the black iron cavalry to help!

Thinking of this, Zhang Shumo immediately said to Jiang Bin: "You guys set up the camp in the southeast of Xiuwuzhi City, so that we can take care of each other on both sides." When you are settled, let's discuss a strategy for retreating from the enemy together. ”

After Jiang Bin heard this, he immediately did what Zhang Shumo instructed. Then Zhang Shumo and the others returned to the city and gathered officials of all sizes to discuss how to deal with the invasion of Jingguo.

"Childe, this northern route army is not easy to control, you let them settle in our southeast, in case the Jingguo army comes to attack the city, they suddenly counterattack, we will be attacked by the enemy!" Niu Wen said what he thought.

Zhang Shumo thought for a while and asked Pang Yuan, "How is Han Jia?" ”

"Han Jia's martial arts are ordinary, but he has some strategies. However, he was loyal to Liu Ye, and since Liu Ye died at the hands of Jingguoren, Han Jia should not rebel. It's just that he may not really work for Childe! Pang Yuan analyzed.

Zhang Shumo nodded: "It's so good, it's just that Jingguo is powerful, and we alone can't compete with it, and only by uniting others can we have hope." Brother Lu, I'll fix a copy of the book later, please send it to Qinyang City, I'm afraid that only Zhang Lu's strength can compete with Jingguo at the moment. ”

Lu Li received the order, and Zhang Shumo looked at the others again: "But the road from here to Qinyang City is long, in order to avoid us being defeated by Jingguo before Zhang Lu's army arrives, we must unite with the Western Route Army." I don't know who wants to go to Xu Liang as a lobbyist? ”

As soon as these words came out, the lobby fell into silence, and Zhang Shumo felt that there were too few people under him! There will be no Pang and Pan, and they are both generals; The strategists are even more pitiful, and the Niu family is okay to manage the city, but the advice is still a little worse. If Chen Lin, Qin Sheng and the others were here, they would not be so stretched.

At this moment, Cai Zhi stood up: "I'm willing to give it a try." ”

Zhang Shumo sighed: "Lord Cai and Xu Liangcheng's people have not dealt with each other, I'm afraid it will be difficult to succeed." ”

Cai Zhi smiled: "Please rest assured, I have a relationship with Su Han's wife and Liang Jia, and I may be able to start a role." And who of Childe's subordinates has dealt with them? You can't let Childe go by himself, right? ”
