The good news of Lingshui County came faster than expected.

Deng Jian and others went from Chushan to Lingshui on the afternoon of the seventh day of October, and arrived outside Lingshui County at noon the next day.

At that time, Liu Yu was leading 5,000 men and horses to attack the city.

Ten artillery pieces, already fired two rounds.

The city wall of Lingshui County has blown up several gaps.

The 5,000 defenders in Lingshui County were all terrified by the artillery.

If it weren't for the 2,000 soldiers and horses left behind by Tu San, after the war in Chuzhou, they would have been at the forefront this time, and I am afraid that the defenders would have collapsed long ago.

The leader of these two thousand men and horses is none other than Wei Hai.

As a fierce general under the command of the third apprentice, in the past two months, Wei Hai relied on the exploits of the siege of Chuzhou to regain the weight of the apprentice step by step.

The 2,000 people left behind this time will defend the lord.

Old man Wei brought his old wife, young sons, and young daughters to move to Chuzhou, which also showed the Wei family's greatest support and submission to the third apprentice.

The impact of the previous Chuzhou change seems to have disappeared.

In the face of a firearm like an artifact, Wei Hai was not afraid, but he did not flinch.

He knew that maybe success or failure was here.

Under the command of the three disciples, Chen Dazhi's family cannot be dominant.

Lift up the warriors.

Zheng Ji Naxing can replace Wei Jiang as the commander of the pro-army battalion, but it cannot replace Wei Han's general.

Guarding Lingshui, their brothers' position in the Bozhou army will be stable, and they will make up for the brothers' mistakes in May.

But the deafening sound of artillery and the falling city wall all made Wei Hu look forward.

He looked at his brother next to him and thought to himself.

There is no need for both brothers to fold here, it is enough to have one of them.

But he knew that if he directly asked his younger brother to avoid it, his younger brother would definitely refuse.

He was thinking about what reason to use to persuade his younger brother to leave, when he heard his younger brother say in ecstasy: "Big brother, there are reinforcements from the Chuzhou Army."

Life and death are a matter of life and death, and all unhappiness is new.

At this moment, Wei Jiang regarded the Chuzhou Army as a relative in his heart, and he was also grateful to the gods and Buddhas in his heart.

Huge military flags, waving in the wind.

The black characters of Douda have the word "Chu" written on them.

All the way to the smoke and dust, a large army of people and horses, came to Lingshui County.

The soldiers defending the city saw not one or two.

There were the owners of the horse village and Huo Bao who came to pay tribute before, and the Bozhou army knew that the Chuzhou army was a friendly army.

"Reinforcements are coming!"

"Are they also back, the third master?"

"Haha, let these bastards be proud, how can they be proud now?"

The guard's heart settled.

On the Lingshui city wall, there were not only one or two guards who died in artillery fire, but also many soldiers who were injured and disabled, wailing and crying.

Everyone cursed Liu Er's ruthlessness.

After the artillery bombardment, no one would think that he was the second son of Marshal Liu and the young master of the Bozhou army, but they only thought that he was a traitor and mortal enemy of the Bozhou army, and he must be destroyed.

Liu Er was originally supervising the battle next to the artillery carriage, with 5,000 men and horses and 10 artillery pieces, and he was confident about taking Lingshui.

In order to be happy in his heart and wash away the shame of running out in panic, he didn't even use any means to capture the city, but directly attacked the city.

Lingshui is not important, what matters is General Han.

Even if the soldiers and civilians in the city are slaughtered, if you win General Han, it will be a victory.

As for whether General Han will not be interesting and avoid talking about it, Liu Er is not worried.

It's not hard to speak alone.

It's just that the tenacity of the defenders of Lingshui County is an accident.

Two rounds of artillery went out, and Liu Er was distressed.

He was hesitating whether to make the third round of artillery when the Chuzhou army arrived

On the eighth night of October, Chuzhou got good news.

Deng ordered a hundred strong crossbows to shoot at Liu Erzhong's army.

Liu Er's crossbow arrow pierced through his body and died.

Subsequently, the Chuzhou army and the defenders of Lingshui County, who went out of the city to fight, joined forces and annihilated 5,000 Bozhou rebels.

Liu Biao and Han Xishan were both shocked.

Eighty miles from Chushan to Lingshui County, but the Chuzhou army did not only walk these eighty miles, but still came from Jinling before.

Even if it was a new force before, plus these eighty miles, it was also crying.

Deng Jian did not rest, and directly led the troops to the outside of Lingshui City.

Annihilation!

Huo Bao is the owner of the horse village glanced at each other.

That's weird again.

Liu Er is the leader of the rebels, but he is not a military general.

Deng Jiang really went to Lingshui County, so why did he kill people?

Liu Er really deserves to die, but he has no grudges against the Chuzhou army.

Directly capture Liu Er alive and hand it over to Apprentice San, and you can still get a favor.

Deng Jian's move is more like "killing people" before the dialogue between Apprentice San and Liu Er.

It seems that the mines in Lingshui are more valuable than expected.

Huo Puma's eyes were full of excitement.

The Chuzhou army was also not rich.

In the land of the five state capitals, there are more than 100,000 soldiers, and it is also an astonishing amount of money to chew every day.

This point is best known to the owner of the horse village who is in charge of logistics and Huo Bao, who has estimated it in his heart.

Along with the Chuzhou military success, Zheng Ji also came.

Zheng Ji took the order of the third disciple and sent a message to Liu Biao and Han Xishan, asking the two to go to Chuzhou with Mrs. Han and others.

Liu Biao returned it, but Han Xishan was unhappy.

promised to let Lingshui go, so you don't have to be in such a hurry, right?

Even if it is to avoid suspicion, there is no such way to avoid suspicion.

Tu San's move was nothing more than a dismount, deliberately suppressing the Liu and Han families.

What did he want to do?

Could it be that he deliberately embarrassed the two families and forced the two families to rebel?

In that case, just take advantage of the presence of the Chuzhou army to clean up the two forces, and the three of them will be able to dominate and truly control the Bozhou army.

After making up for it, Han Xishan didn't dare to move, suppressed his unhappiness, and took the order.

The two of them went to straighten out the soldiers and horses, so that they could set off for Chuzhou tomorrow morning.

Zheng Ji looked at Han Xishan's back, and his face was a little strange.

Seeing this, Huo Bao's heart moved and asked, "Third Brother Zheng, what's wrong?" But has the Han family changed? ”

Zheng Ji nodded and sighed: "General Han must be Liu Er's brute if he is gone, I am afraid that General Han will come forward to defend the city and ask someone to kill General Han first."

Huo Bao was silent.

It seems that Deng Jiao has accurate information, so he will take advantage of the fire to rob, and he will take the first step to call people to extinguish.

Looking at the reaction of Tu San and Liu Biao, Han Xishan and others, he obviously didn't know about Lingshui County.

The insiders are Marshal Liu and General Han, and half of them are Liu Er.

That's fine, just like that, Lingshui County was collected.

It's really unkind to uncover this matter now.

After ordering someone to rectify the soldiers, Liu Biao went to see Mrs. Han and said that he would move to Chuzhou tomorrow morning.

Mrs. Han was dark right now, and she didn't rest well last night.

She looked at Liu Biao in a daze, and said in a hoarse voice, "What happened to Lingshui?" ”

Is Liu Er taking Lingshui, and the third disciple wants her as a hostage?

Or has Lingshui been calmed?

Mrs. Han only felt out of breath, looking at Liu Biao, her eyes turned black for a while.

Liu Biao was silent and said: "The siege of Lingshui has been lifted, and the third master promised to hand over Lingshui County to the Chuzhou Army as a condition for this request for help, and the Chuzhou Army has already entered Lingshui!" ”

Mrs. Han's mouth moved, and she said in an inaudible voice, "What about the bastard?" Killed by the apprentices? ”

Liu Biao.

Hope was born in Mrs. Han's eyes.

Han Biao said bluntly: "At noon today, General Deng led people to attack the 5,000 Bozhou rebels, and together with the defenders of Lingshui County, they annihilated the 5,000 rebels!" ”

"Annihilation? And that bastard? ”

Mrs. Han's voice was a little erratic.

Liu Biao nodded: "It seems to be General Deng's practice of fighting wars, leaving no prisoners of war"

With 2,000 rebels annihilated on the seventh day of the first lunar month, Liu Biao did not doubt the authenticity of this rumor.

Mrs. Han's expression was wooden, like a clay sculpture.

Seeing this, Liu Biao sighed in his heart and walked out.

Liu Erniang came out of a moment and said with a crying voice: "Mother, they really killed the second brother, they should kill us when they turn around, woo what Bozhou rebels, it makes no sense that the Bozhou army is father's, and the second brother's son inherits his father's business, why did he become a Bozhou rebel?" There are really rebels, and he killed the third brother in vain, and then came to kill the second brother."

"Shut up!"

Mrs. Han clutched her chest and scolded: "If you want to live well, just be a dumb person and keep your mouth open, you will really die!" ”

Liu Erniang was frightened, covered her mouth, and whispered: "Isn't there still an eldest sister?" Isn't she boasting of being kind-hearted, can she really let the disciples harm us? ”

Mrs. Han sneered, "Why can't you? With you, she will always be the eldest daughter without you, she is the only eldest lady in the Bozhou Army! ”

"Humph! I'll just say, in the end, it's a little woman, and she still has the style of the eldest lady, pretending to be virtuous, and she is cunning inside! ”

Liu Erniang muttered.

Liu stood at the door, lowered his eyes, and turned back to the east wing.

Scorpion looked at his daughter and was very helpless: "It's not worth feeling sorry for others"

Liu smiled bitterly with tears, where are the irrelevant people?

It was her sister, and she had grown up with her.

That was her respected mother-in-law, and she was also sincerely nurtured.

Everything has changed.

The ninth day of October.

Early in the morning, more than 3,000 Bozhou troops marched from Chuzhou and went to Chuzhou with Mrs. Han, Liu and others.

The owner of the horse village took Huo Bao, Wang Duwei, Bi Zhizhou and others, and personally sent the Bozhou army to the outside of the city.

From Chuzhou to Chuzhou for more than 100 miles, the march takes two to three days.

The owner of the horse village directly ordered Wang Duwei to transfer thirty truckloads of grain to the Bozhou army for consumption.

In addition, there was a cart of fine grain, which was prepared for Mrs. Han, Liu and others.

When the owner of the horse village ordered someone to hand over the grain to Liu Biao, he was embarrassed: "Chuzhou was a big disaster last year, and the first half of the year was also a natural disaster**, and the warehouse was scarce, so I could only temporarily transfer these."

The owner of the horse village is reluctant to Liu Biao in his heart.

Who made Liu Biao look like a national character face and suburbs, not pants, but also a good face.

It was these grains that he sent sincerely.

Compared with Huo Hu, who is tall and black, Liu Biao, who is dignified in front of him, is his ideal son-in-law.

Besides, after getting such a big bargain as apprentice three, I was more comfortable to send out 10,000 catties of food.

Liu Biao was flattered and thanked him again and again.

I heard that in the Chuzhou army, in addition to Huo Wu's brother-in-law, the owner of the horse village has the best relationship with the apprentices.

Liu Biao was grateful, but also relieved.

The Chuzhou army has grown into a behemoth, and it is beyond the Bozhou army to compete.

The two sides have a friendly relationship and are each other's horns, which is also the way to preserve this troubled era.
