Ji Wen was speechless when he heard Geng Li's words, it was indeed he who ordered Ma Hua to attack Mengzhou City, but who would have thought that the Western Route Army, which had retreated to the previous city, would dare to take the initiative? And if 20,000 people are sent at once, aren't they afraid that the martial kingdom will attack the last city? And that Zhang Shumo, when did he run to Qinghua City, he didn't know at all, what the people under him were eating!

Thinking of this, Ji Wen finally had a reason to be angry, and he kicked Geng Li: "Then what are you doing to eat?" Zhang Shumo, more than 10,000 people slipped from under your noses to Qinghua City, and you didn't even notice it? Are they all rice buckets? ”

Geng Li hurriedly pleaded guilty: "My subordinates are derelict in their duties, and I ask the general to punish them!" ”

"Punish you for having a fart, hurry up and send someone to take Qinghua City back for me!" Ji Wen roared angrily.

Yang Xue heard it all in her ears on the side, thinking that Zhang Shumo would lead the lone army to go deeper, at this time, if Ji Wen sent an army to block Zhang Shumo's way, then Zhang Shumo would probably be more than lucky! So Yang Xue hurriedly said: "General, slow down!" The concubine has something to say. ”

Ji Wen knew that Yang Xue was a little clever, and since she wanted to speak, she must have something in mind, so she asked, "What is the clever plan for Concubine Ai?" ”

"General, the sneak attack on Thanh Hoa City is obviously a premeditated action of the other side. Zhang Shumo is scheming, and now he sends troops over to maybe fall into his ambush. According to the concubine, the top priority now is to stabilize Xu Liangcheng! Xu Liangcheng is the head of a county, located between Thanh Hoa, Mengzhou and Xiuwuzhi, is an important center connecting the three cities, only 10,000 people to guard it is a little empty, once lost, the consequences are unimaginable. ”

Yang Xue didn't know much about military affairs, but in order to stop Ji Wen from sending troops, she had to talk nonsense.

Ji Wen listened thoughtfully, and after a while, he said: "Concubine Ai's words reminded me, Zhang Shumo must have thought that I would send someone to recapture Qinghua City, so I must take precautions." And I just didn't care about Qinghua City, Zhang Shumo took 10,000 people to Qinghua City, there were definitely not many people left in the big tea castle, I immediately sent troops to serve the big tea castle! ”

"General!" Yang Xue hurriedly called Ji Wen: "Doesn't the general care about Xu Liangcheng?" ”

"Isn't Xu Liang guarded by 10,000 people? If it really doesn't work, let Ma Hua give up Mengzhou City and protect Xu Liang with all his might, I don't believe that 30,000 people can't hold a city! ”

Yang Xue was also anxious when she heard this, and took Ji Wen's hand and said, "General, the original city army is unreliable!" Since we invaded Huaiguo, all the victories were fought by the Jincheng army. You sent Shao Qin to attack a cottage of 5,000 people and returned defeated, so Xu Liangcheng must not expect the original city army to defend it! ”

After listening to Yang Xue's words, Ji Wen instantly felt that his face had been restored: "What Concubine Ai said is very true, according to the order of this king, it is clear that the entire Xuliang County can be occupied, but I never thought that the combat strength of the original city army was so weak, and even suffered defeats, so that our army was so embarrassed." So this time, this king personally led the troops to attack the big tea castle, and the soldiers made tricks, Zhang Shumo and they must have been surprised! ”

"But ......"

"It's nothing, this king will gather soldiers and horses and prepare to go out of the city!" Ji Wen directly interrupted Yang Xue's words and left with Geng Li.

Seeing this, Yang Xue immediately went out to Leizi's shop.

At this time, in Qinghua City, Jiao Qiang and Zhang Jun were discussing the next step in the county office, and Zhang Yan walked in with a little disappointment: "General Jiao, Daddy, Zhang Shumo took people away, let me tell you before he leaves, Ji Wen will definitely fight back, don't think about dividing troops to capture Xu Liangcheng." He also asked us to take Jingguo's grain and grass to recruit troops and horses, and prepare for long-term battles. ”

The two couldn't help frowning when they heard this, originally the two planned to ask Zhang Yan to call Zhang Shumo to discuss together, but they didn't expect him to leave directly.

Jiao Qiang sighed: "It seems that Zhang Shumo doesn't plan to cooperate with us for a long time, this surprise attack on Qinghua City, he is probably also to attract Ji Wen's troops, so as to relieve the pressure on his side." ”

Zhang Jun smashed his mouth: "It's hard to say, although Zhang Shumo is young, it is not simple. He can bring Pang Yuan under his command, and the city government is definitely above you and me. ”

Jiao Qiang smiled slightly after hearing this: "I remembered what the old general said, and Pan Feng, the second son of General Pan Yang, also defected to Zhang Shumo. Pan Feng is timid by nature and his martial arts are average, but he didn't expect to be famous on Zhang Shumo's side. It is said that when he was fighting with Jingguo, he killed Chai Meng and retreated Ji Wen's 50,000 army. Now the people of Jingguo are scared when they see him. ”

Zhang Yan said regretfully on the side: "If the second prince didn't force Zhang Shumo at that time, he should still be serving in the General's Mansion now." ”

On the other side, Zhang Shumo was riding a horse and suddenly sneezed, and then joked: "I think it should be those people in Qinghua City who are talking bad about me." ”

Pang Yuan smiled: "Childe helped them, will they still say bad things about Childe?" ”

"I think they're complimenting Gongzi about the same." Pan Feng also said with a smile.

The three of them chatted about some interesting things in the army, and before they knew it, they had arrived at the junction of Qinghua and Xiuwuzhi. Zhang Shumo couldn't help frowning: "We've all gone so far, and we haven't met Ji Wen's army, isn't Ji Wen going to recapture Qinghua City?" ”

"They can't be scared, right?" Pan Feng guessed.

Zhang Shumo's two eyebrows were twisted together, and suddenly he patted his thigh: "Not good!" Ji Wen may lead his troops to fight the big tea castle, let's speed up! ”

In the big tea castle, Liu naturally received the news from Lei Zi and immediately invited Jiang Bin into the city to discuss countermeasures. This time, Ji Wen came to attack the city with an army of 40,000, and the two did not dare to be sloppy in the slightest.

Due to the large strength of the enemy's army, both of them felt that they could not divide their troops, so they let more than 10,000 troops from the North Route also enter the city. At the same time, Liu naturally learned the lesson of defending the city last time, and ordered people to prepare a large amount of fire oil to burn the enemy's ladder. This time, the Wu Xiu Army and the Northern Route Army were well prepared, and the soldiers were ready to fight the Jingguo army.

After a day of waiting, Ji Wen finally came to the Big Tea Castle with his people. Ji Wen ordered people to set up camp for a short rest, and two hours later, Ji Wen led the army to the city of Dachabao.

"Liu Nature, you untrustworthy dog thief, why did you kill our teacher after we paid the ransom!" Ji Wen scolded justifiably.

Liu naturally expected that Ji Wen would come to this hand, and replied directly: "The prince is really a noble man who forgets things, obviously you gave me money and asked me to kill Zhou Gang, why did you forget it so quickly?" ”

"You're spewing blood! Zhou Guoshi is a veteran of the Three Dynasties of Jingguo, how could I hurt his life? Not only do you not believe in your words, but you are full of nonsense, and today I will make you die a bad death! ”

After listening to Ji Wen's words, Liu naturally showed a sneer on his face, and Ji Wen saw that Liu naturally did not laugh angrily, and his heart was faintly uneasy.

After a while, Wu Xiujun walked out with a prisoner, and Liu naturally said with a smile: "Ji Wen, you see who this is!" ”
