"What? Rovo's defeat? How can it be? It's not for you to stick to the camp, why are you defeated in just a few days? ”

Under the city of Shuzhou, the rebel camp.

Hearing Luo Mingqing say that he and Luo Fuzi's 8,000 army were defeated by the 7,000 Tiance army, Qian Neng felt incredible. He also heard about the Tiance Army, but it was a newly formed unit that had never fought any battles, and the person in charge of commanding the Tiance Army was only a 15-year-old child, although he was a prince, he couldn't get rid of the fact that he was a child.

Although Qian Neng did not have much hope that Luo Fuzi and Luo Chaoqing's troops would defeat the Tiance army, he ordered the two armies to be stationed at the junction of Shuzhou and Wenjiang, and the two battalions were horns of each other, even if they couldn't be defeated, the defense was always okay.

Moreover, the two armies are not far apart, as long as the Tiance army attacks one of them, the other side will be pinned down by sending troops. According to the idea of his staff, the Tiance Army should not take the two battalions so quickly. Originally, according to his idea, it was to let the two departments contain the imperial court reinforcements, and then he would do his best to take Shuzhou City here, and then merge the two armies to defeat the imperial army together.

"It was Luo Fuzi who thought that King Shou was young, so he designed an ambush for a wave of Tiance troops and asked our troops to cooperate. I thought it was feasible, so I agreed, but when our army went to cooperate with the Luo Fuzi Division, it was attacked by the Tiance Army and suffered heavy losses.

As for Luo Fuzi's side, I don't know how it was defeated by the Tiance army, except for a few people who escaped, it can be said that the whole army was wiped out. ”

Although Luo Mingqing and Luo Fuzi are of the same clan, Luo Fuzi is dead, and in order to get rid of the responsibility, he naturally puts all the responsibility on the dead Luo Fuzi. This seems unkind, but in Luo Mingqing's opinion, the other party's death can save him from punishment, and the other party's death can be regarded as a bit of value.

"This Luo Fuzi is simply misleading me!" Qian Neng was very angry, and slammed his fist into the table, shaking everything on it to the ground.

The defeat of Luo Fuzi had a great impact on Qianneng. It's not that I feel sorry for the 8,000 people under Luo Fuzi and Luo Mingqing, after all, they are not his own troops, and he is not too distressed. But the two of them were defeated, and he had to face the Tiance army and the officials and troops in Shuzhou City, even if Luo Mingqing fled back with nearly a thousand people, it didn't play much role in relieving his pressure.

Originally, at the beginning of the attack on Shuzhou, Qianneng once had 35,000 troops in his hands, in addition to the 17,000 people in the four divisions such as Luo Fuzi, there were 18,000 people in the headquarters, including more than 6,000 people with armor, and the strength increased greatly.

However, the high walls of Shuzhou City are thick, and the troops of Qianneng also lack siege weapons, and the defense of Shuzhou City is tight, and the resistance is stubborn. In a few days, they lost nearly 6,000 people, resulting in only more than 12,000 people in his own army, and the strength was not strong.

Han Qiu and Juhu Seng were also sent by him to defend Xinjin, and they couldn't rush to his aid here.

"Lord Assassin Shi, in the current situation, we can't hesitate, we must make plans as soon as possible, if we can't solve this situation, our army will be in danger." The generals below were a little anxious.

"Ben Thorn also knows, but what is the best way now?" Qian Neng also regrets it a little now, can't he just take Qiongzhou to be his assassin history, why do you want to come to Shuzhou, it's okay now, it's difficult to ride a tiger, and it is possible to be annihilated by the imperial army.

Thinking that he hadn't been a stabbing for a few days, and his ass hadn't been hot yet, was he just driven away by the ashes? Thinking of Guo Qi, who has already occupied Yazhou, when he went to join him at that time, would the other party still be very polite to him?

"Sima Zhang, what is your best plan?" Qian Neng, who had no clue, could only turn his attention for help to Zhang Rong, a staff member he trusted very much.

He has today, and the other party is also plotting by his side, so after he proclaimed himself the history of assassination, he appointed him as Sima and was responsible for assisting him. The other party is quite talented, and he can also pay more attention to the other party, and the other party knows all major things and participates in decision-making.

Zhang Rong frowned slightly, pondered for a while before saying, "My lord, if you want to change the current predicament, there are two plans. The first is to transfer troops from Qiongzhou, we still have tens of thousands of troops in Qiongzhou, if we are transferred, we have more than 20,000 people in our hands, enough to deal with the official army reinforcements, as long as the official army reinforcements are defeated, Shuzhou can be taken. ”

"But Gao Renhou is attacking Xinjin, I heard that this person is more capable of fighting. He has tens of thousands of troops in his hands, Xinjin's troops are not necessarily his opponents, if Xinjin is lost, Gao Renhou is very likely to enter Qiongzhou and cut off the back road of our army. Qian Neng worried, "What is Zhang Sima's second suggestion?" ”

Zhang Rong hesitated for a while before slowly spit out two words, "Withdraw the troops." ”

"Withdrawal?" Qian Neng thought that he had misheard.

"Yes, it's the withdrawal." Zhang Rong nodded, "If we don't mobilize the army in Qiongzhou, we will have no advantage in facing the reinforcements of the official army in the city and outside, and we may even be joined by the official army inside and outside." Withdraw to Qiongzhou, we can defend Qiongzhou, and then ask Guo Qi for help, so that we can hold Qiongzhou, and then force the imperial court to recognize us. Only in this way will we have a way to live. ”

"But will Guo Qi come to reinforce us?" There is some uncertainty about the ability.

"He will come, we are defeated, and he will be the next one to be eliminated by the officers and soldiers. We are in a relationship of dead lips and teeth, and it is impossible for him not to see it. Zhang Rong affirmed.

"What if I bring in reinforcements from Qiongzhou? Is it possible to defeat the Tiance Army? Qian Neng asked suddenly.

"This... Zhang Rong hesitated a little, "My lord, this may be big, but we must defeat the Tiance Army before Gao Renhou takes Xinjin, otherwise it will be a catastrophe." ”

"Then let Juhu Seng and Han Qiu stick to Xinjin and drag Gao Renhou. If I don't take Shuzhou, I won't be reconciled. Qian Neng said in a deep voice, his face a little hideous.

"If the adults insist on this, then they must first drag the Tiance army, and it is best to send thousands of soldiers and horses to the north, set up camp ten miles away from the Tiance army, and confront the Tiance army, only defending, not taking the initiative to attack.

Then wait for our reinforcements to arrive. When the time comes, whether to attack the Tiance Army or Shuzhou, we can choose depending on the situation. However, who to send to confront the Tiance Army needs to be decided by adults. Zhang Rong said what he thought was a better way, but he actually still hoped that Qianneng would withdraw the army, but looking at Qianneng's posture, he didn't want to withdraw the army so soon.

There is the example of Huang Chao, and the ambition in Qianneng is also aroused, who doesn't want to sit on the supreme emperor's throne.

"Who will be sent to guard against the Tiance Army?" When he was talking to himself, Qian Neng was also looking at the number of capable subordinates below, this person must be brave, and obey his orders, can only defend, can not attack without authorization, everything is waiting for reinforcements to arrive.

In the end, Qian Neng shifted his gaze to a man who was about 30 years old and his appearance was not good-looking, "General Yue, how about you lead the men and horses of your headquarters to confront the Tiance Army?" It must be according to what Zhang Sima said, it is not allowed to attack without authorization, and only needs to defend. ”

I saw that the man known as General Yue, wearing a somewhat worn Mingguang armor, stood up and arched his hand, "Obey the order." ”

This person's name is Yue Changxu, who was originally a town general in Qiongzhou, and he is strong in martial arts. At that time, Qianneng started an incident, and after capturing Huojing County, the then Qiongzhou Assassin sent troops to exterminate him, and Yue Changxu was one of the town generals, leading a thousand troops to attack Huojing County first, which left a deep impression on Qianneng, of course, a bad impression.

After the defeat of Huojing, Qianneng fled in a hurry, and then quickly made a comeback, and was taken refuge by Zhang Rong, a powerful staff member in front of him. Soon, under Zhang Rong's planning, Qianneng quickly captured Anren County, and ambushed the official army on the way to the reinforcements of the official army, and Yue Changxu was among them at that time.

Although surrounded, Yue Changxu was still very tenacious, killing dozens of his subordinates, originally Qian Neng wanted to shoot the other party, Zhang Rong persuaded Qian Neng to capture it alive, and then persuade the other party to surrender. Because although there were many people under Qianneng at that time, there was a lack of generals, and Yue Changxu was exactly the person who lacked Qianneng.

Of course, Yue Changxu was captured in the end, but he did not surrender, because even after conquering Qiongzhou, Qianneng's troops were still like bandits, burning, killing, and abusing them, and Yue Changxu naturally did not want to be loyal to such troops. Later, Qian Neng made up his mind to clean up the discipline, coupled with Zhang Rong's persuasion, Yue Changxu finally surrendered, and then he was reused by Qian Neng.

Of course, in the later battles, Yue Changxu did not disappoint Qianneng, whether it was attacking Dayi or defeating Yang Xingqian, Yue Changxu's performance was very good, so he was reused.

However, Zhang Rong was a little uneasy, but he didn't know where the uneasiness came from.
