Chapter 182: Try it and find out
Due to the urgency of time, Zhang Shumo no longer hesitated, and immediately wrote two letters, so that the two of them could leave immediately. One was handed over to Lu Li for him to take to Qinyang City, and the other was handed over to Cai Zhi for him to take to Xu Liangcheng.
After the two left, Zhang Shumo ordered Pang Yuan and Pan Feng to take the soldiers to dig a horse pit outside Xiuwuzhi City, and tried every means to limit the advantage of Jingguo's army.
When everything was arranged, Zhang Shumo came to the city gate tower to see the busy soldiers, and Lou Zaiying didn't know when he came behind him: "Are you worried about Jingguo's affairs?" ”
Zhang Shumo nodded: "This time Jingguo is menacing, once there is any mistake, I am afraid that Huaiguo will cease to exist in the future!" ”
"Didn't you already write to Zhang Lu? If reinforcements arrive, I believe we will still have the strength to fight with Jingguo! ”
Zhang Shumo couldn't help but sigh: "Although I wrote a letter, it is still unknown how many reinforcements Zhang Lu can send!" Since Jingguo already knows that I am pregnant with civil strife, I believe that other countries also know about it, so Zhang Lu has to face more enemies than us. ”
Lou Zaiying also realized the seriousness of the situation when she heard this: "In this way, isn't our current situation precarious? In case Zhang Lu can't send reinforcements, then what are we going to do? ”
Zhang Shumo smiled bitterly: "Now we can only hope that Wuguo will choose to stand by, and then the Western Route Army agrees to unite with us and fight against the Jingguo army together." Maybe we can't win the other side head-on, but we can fight a tug-of-war with them, Jingguo's army is numerous, and the supply line is long, and they will definitely not be able to consume it after a long time. ”
Lou Zaiying plucked up his courage and grabbed Zhang Shumo's hand: "Don't worry, husband, I believe we will win!" ”
Zhang Shumo smiled and stroked Lou Zaiying's hair: "It's just a pity that Liu Ye died on the battlefield and couldn't avenge his father-in-law with his own hands." ”
Thinking of her family, Lou Zaiying was a little lonely, but she immediately raised her head again: "Compared with the national hatred, what is the family hatred?" Since Liu Ye also sacrificed his life for the country, this account will be written off. ”
The two stood on the city wall all afternoon, and only returned home in the evening. At this time, Lou Guang and Wang Hu were still practicing swordsmanship with Liu Tiantian, and these two people seemed to regard Liu Tiantian as their master.
Naturally, because of his personality, Liu rarely cares about political affairs. But this time he couldn't help but ask: "I saw many soldiers go outside the city in the afternoon, why did something happen?" ”
Zhang Shumo thought about it and told him: "The people of Jingguo are calling, Liu Ye has been killed in battle, and now the army of Jingguo is stationed in Qinghua City, I think it won't be long before I come to find trouble with us!" ”
When Wang Hu heard this, he said excitedly: "Isn't there a war going on?" Great, I've learned so many Heavenly Sword Techniques, it's time to try the power! ”
Liu naturally flicked the back of Wang Hu's head: "Go, go, adults talk, children don't intervene!" ”
Wang Hu pursed his lips and stepped aside, but Zhang Shumo asked Liu Tiantian rhetorically, "Why did you suddenly care about these things today?" Don't bother? ”
Liu naturally smiled: "I should do something for you to teach them to practice swords all day these days, otherwise you should say that I have a leisurely meal, and I will go to help you find out the situation of the Jingguo army tonight!" ”
When Zhang Shumo heard this, he happily patted Liu Tiantian's shoulder: "Great, help me find out how many people they have, and it's best to find out how much grain and grass they have." ”
Liu naturally nodded: "Without further ado, I'll pack up my things and set off immediately!" ”
As soon as it was dawn on the second day, Liu naturally had already arrived at Qinghua City. At this time, the Jingguo soldiers in Qinghua City had already begun to pack their things and seemed to be preparing to leave.
Liu naturally searched on the rooftop, and finally found Zhou Gang's room. So he lifted the roof tiles and jumped into the house.
"Who?" Zhou Gang had already woken up, and when he heard the movement, he asked instinctively.
Liu naturally arched his hand towards Zhou Gang: "Senior brother, don't come to harm!" ”
Zhou Gang looked at Liu Tiantian cautiously when he heard this, but Liu Tianzhi said with a smile: "Senior brother doesn't remember me?" We met last time Master took me on a tour to Jingguo. ”
Hearing this, Zhou Gang relaxed: "At that time, you were only eight or nine years old, and you looked completely different from what you look now, how can senior brother remember it?" By the way, how did you find this place? ”
"I'm here for you! When Master took me to this place, he concluded that there would be a new king here, and in order to find this person, Master exhausted Yang Shou to refine the Yin and Yang Cup, but fortunately, I have already found that person. Liu naturally said.
Zhou Gang was taken aback when he heard this: "Master is dead? But soon Zhou Gang regained his composure: "It seems that the master values this person very much." What does this have to do with you looking for me? ”
"That person's name is Zhang Shumo, and he is here at the moment!"
Zhou Gang laughed when he heard this: "You came to let me let him live?" ”
Liu naturally shook his head: "No, I'm here to tell you that he will definitely defeat you, if you don't want to die in a foreign country, go back to Jingguo as soon as possible!" ”
"Hahaha! Brother, you are too arrogant! I have heard of Zhang Shumo, although he has such achievements at a young age, he is indeed outstanding. But he's not in the mood yet, so it's a bit of a shame to say that he can beat me! Zhou Gang had a smile on his face, but there was a trace of apprehension in his heart, the person who the master was looking for after exhausting his longevity would definitely have something extraordinary, and he had to be more careful.
Liu naturally said coldly: "Senior brother, you'll know if you try it!" ”
After speaking, Liu naturally jumped on the beam of the house, and then he couldn't help asking: "Senior brother, I will go to your military camp for a turn later, senior brother will not send someone to chase and kill me, right?" ”
Zhou Gang showed a smile: "I'm just a national teacher, and I can't do things in the army." If you are discovered, someone will chase you! ”
Liu naturally nodded and turned to leave. The meaning of Zhou Gang's words is already obvious, from now on, the two of them don't have to take care of the feelings of their brothers anymore!
In a short time, it was already dawn. Jingguo's army was ready to go, and with Ji Wen's order, the army marched towards Xu Liangcheng!
At the same time, Cai Zhi has come to Xu Liangcheng. Since the refugees who escaped from Qinghua City had already spread the news of the arrival of Jingguo's army to Xu Liang, now in addition to Su Han's wife and Liang Jia, Jiao Qiang, the general of the Western Route Army, also arrived with military horses. Cai Zhizheng stood at the foot of the hall and presented Zhang Shumo's letter to the three of them.
After reading the letter in turn, Liang Jia took the lead and said: "Madam, at the moment, I am afraid that only by uniting with Zhang Shumo can we have a slight chance of winning, otherwise we will not be the opponent of Jingguo's more than 100,000 troops with our own strength!" General Jiao, what do you say? ”
Jiao Qiang looked at Cai Zhi, and then said: "Jiao heard that Zhang Shumo is a scheming and very insidious person, and I hate this kind of person the most in my life." It's just that in the current situation, I'm afraid there is only one way! ”
Mrs. Su's eyes were rosy, and she said indignantly: "Yi'er was imprisoned in Qinghua City, and it was all caused by Zhang Shumo, how can I swallow this breath if you join forces with him?" ”
