Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!

Liu Xiu said with a smile: "Xie Shangshu doesn't have to be in such a hurry, you can rest in Zhencheng for a few more days." ”

Xie bowed and said: "The military situation is urgent, changing rapidly, and the subordinate does not dare to delay the time and delay the fighter!" ”

Liu Xiu kept a few more words, and then stopped persuading. Xie bowed and got up and said goodbye to Liu Xiu.

After Xie bowed and left, Liu Xiu also left the Chinese military tent and returned to his camp tent.

In Liu Xiu's tent, Guo Shengtong, who was newly married to Liu Xiu, was there, and Xu Xiling, who came to Zhencheng with Xie Gong, was also there. Seeing Liu Xiu approaching from outside, Guo Shengtong and Xu Xiling, who were sitting at the table drinking tea, stood up together.

The former said, "Husband! The latter said, "My lord! ”

It seems that Guo Shengtong and Xu Xiling already know each other, and Liu Xiu waved his hand to the two of them and motioned for both of them to sit.

Guo Sheng returned to the cubicle at the end of the tent with great interest. After Liu Xiu sat down, he immediately asked, "Xiling, why did you come to Zhencheng?" But what happened to Che Ying's side? ”

Xu Xiling smiled and said softly: "Don't worry, Senior Sister and Mrs. Shi are all right, and nothing has changed." ”

Liu Xiu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. Xu Xiling continued: "When Xiling heard that Xie Gong led the army into Hebei, he wanted to find out what kind of person Xie Gong was, so he mixed into Xie Gong's team in the name of the lord's family. ”

I see! Xie Wendong smiled and asked, "Is there a gain?" ”

Xu Xiling said: "Xie bows to be a person, quite upright, and does things uprightly, but he is loyal to Liu Xuan and has no second thoughts. ”

Liu Xiu listened carefully, and Xu Xiling's analysis of Xie Gong was similar to his judgment. Xu Xiling continued: "There are still ......"

"What else?"

"Mrs. Xie bow, quite scheming, and extremely smart, is a strange woman! If it weren't a woman, it would be above bowing! ”

This is something that Liu Xiu doesn't know. Although Xie Gong came to Zhencheng this time with his wife, Liu Xiu and Xie Gong's wife had never met at all, so they naturally couldn't judge her as a person.

Xu Xiling has been by Liu Xiu's side for so long, and Liu Xiu naturally knows her very well.

Don't look at Xu Xiling's softness and weakness on weekdays, she is polite to everyone, but she is actually a high-minded and arrogant girl, and she can be praised like this, and this lady who wants to bow down must be outstanding.

"Just a woman, it shouldn't be a concern."

"Xie bowed and listened to his wife." Xu Xiling reminded.

Liu Xiu nodded, knew it in her heart, and said with a smile: "If it is really as Xiling said, I would like to meet her." ”

Xu Xiling smiled first, then restrained his smile, and said, "Xiling came to Zhencheng this time, and he didn't plan to go back." ”

Liu Xiu said: "That's fine! Shengtong has no companion in the army, and Xiling can just accompany her. ”

He originally planned to send Guo Shengtong to Lunu, the county seat of Zhongshan County, but Guo Shengtong insisted on refusing and insisted on staying in the army and accompanying him.

Guo Shengtong is indeed very virtuous, after marrying him, he did not put forward any non-points, only in this matter, his attitude is very persistent.

Deng Yu and Zhu You also persuaded him, now Guo Shengtong is his wife, and his identity is extraordinary, and here in Hebei is in chaos, Liu Xiu still has a bounty of 100,000 households issued by Wang Lang hanging above his head.

If Guo Shengtong is left alone in Lunu, it is indeed inappropriate and unsafe.

After thinking about it repeatedly, Liu Xiu felt that what Deng Yu and Zhu You said was not unreasonable, so he left Guo Shengtong in the barracks.

With Liu Xiu's approval, Xu Xiling showed joy on his face and said to Liu Xiu: "Xiling, thank you, lord!" ”

After Xu Xiling left, Guo Shengtong walked out of the compartment inside, she draped a fur coat over Liu Xiu's shoulder, and asked curiously, "Miss Xiling is Ah Xiu's subordinate?" ”

In private, Guo Shengtong also called Liu Xiu by his nickname. Liu Xiuxiao asked, "What?" Not quite like that? ”

Guo Shengtong blushed and muttered in a low voice: "The concubine still thinks that Miss Xiling is Ah Xiu's concubine." ”

Liu Xiu looked up and smiled, took Guo Shengtong's hand, pulled her into his arms, and said, "Xiling has done a lot of things for me, and he can be called my right-hand man!" ”

Guo Shengtong leaned his head on Liu Xiu's chest and answered softly, while his two small hands wrapped around his waist.

On the third day of his farewell and departure, the 120,000 army led by Liu Xiu set off from Zhencheng and began to move south.

The 120,000-strong army, with great momentum, went all the way south, drove straight in, and the towns they passed did not dare to resist, and they all returned to obedience.

At present, the counties here in Hebei are basically all grass on the wall, which side is windy and which side is down.

When Wang Lang was strong, people naturally submitted to Wang Lang, and when Liu Xiu was strong, people immediately abandoned Wang Lang and returned to Liu Xiu instead.

For the towns that returned to Shun along the way, Liu Xiu basically used a strategy, did not make any punishments, and mainly appeased.

As long as you don't resist, as long as you are willing to surrender the city, you can be blamed for what you have done in the past. Liu Xiu's magnanimity made even fewer local officials who desperately wanted to resist Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiujun first passed through Lixiang, then arrived at Daluze, crossed Daluze, and then continued south, which was Julu City.

At this time, Liu Xiujun's investigation reports were like a marquee, going in and out of his own barracks, and the battle reports from the front were continuously transmitted back to the army.

There are too many reports sent back, and it is impossible to hand over each one of them to Liu Xiu for review, as the period in charge of intelligence, it must be screened and summarized first.

This workload is not small, and one person in the Choshi period is almost busy from morning to night, tired and dizzy.

Seeing that his burden alone was too heavy, Liu Xiu temporarily transferred Feng Yi over. With Feng Yi's help, Choshi's burden was reduced a lot, at least he had time to rest, eat, and sleep.

On this day, Liu Xiujun camped on the south bank of the mainland. The camp has not yet been settled, Choshi received an important piece of information, he took the report and went to Liu Xiu as soon as possible.

This battle report came back from the vicinity of Julu City, recording that Li Yu and Zhang Shen under Wang Lang led an army of 200,000 to arrive in Julu City, and are now deploying in and around Julu City.

Li Yu and Zhang Shen were both core figures in Wang Lang's court, the former was the Great Sima and the latter was the Great General. These two led an army of 200,000 and stationed in Julu City, and it was obvious that Wang Lang planned to fight Liu Xiubu to the death in Julu City.

After reading this information, Liu Xiu frowned slightly and asked, "What is the current situation in Julu City?" ”

Choshi said: "It is reported that there is a large amount of grain and grass and hoarding of city defense materials in the city, and in addition, Li Yu and Zhang Shen have also arranged three camps around Julu City to form a joint defense trend with Julu City!" ”

Liu Xiu asked, "Is there a picture?" ”

Choshi said, "The drawings haven't been sent back yet, and they should arrive soon." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Yi took the map of the city defense of Julu City that had just been transmitted back to the military camp and entered the Chinese military tent and handed it to Liu Xiu.

The three camps around Julu City are triangular in shape, surrounding Julu City. No matter which camp is attacked, Julu City and the other two camps can send reinforcements as soon as possible.

If you avoid these three camps and directly attack Julu City, in the process of attacking the city, the back and even the two wings of the attacking side will be attacked by the enemy at any time.

After Liu Xiu saw the drawing, he handed it over to the generals in the Chinese army tent to circulate.

After seeing it, people's faces became solemn, no matter what Li Yu and Zhang Shen came from, their deployment in Julu City was still unique.

The three outer camps and the central giant deer city are interlocking, forming a horn trend with each other, attacking and retreating, and it is not suitable to deal with.

Deng Yu frowned and said: "With such a defense, and 200,000 troops garrisoned, it is difficult for our army to forcibly capture Julu City. ”

He said it quite politely, with 120,000, fighting 200,000, and it was still a tough battle, there was no hope of winning at all, not to mention that the defense of Julu City was so exquisite. The generals lowered their heads and were silent in thought. Liu Xiu glanced around at everyone and said: "Julu City is the northern gateway of Handan, Wang Langjun will focus on defending Julu City, and will set up heavy troops to defend Julu City, which we have long expected

Middle. I still have the original idea, go directly around Julu City, and go straight to Guangping City, the county town of Quang Binh! Before the general could speak, Choshi said, "My lord, it has been reported that the grain in Quang Binh County has almost been requisitioned, and many of the people in Quang Binh County have moved to other places. Even if our army bypasses Julu City and successfully takes Guangping City

, I'm afraid, all I get is an empty city, and it is impossible to have food, grass and supplies in the city. ”

Liu Xiu took a deep breath and said: "I have already said that I will solve the matter of grain and grass, now everyone just needs to tell me that without considering grain and grass, it is not feasible to bypass Julu City and take Guangping City directly!" ”

People got up and left their seats one after another, standing around the map in the center of the Chinese military tent, and carefully examined it.

Deng Yu looked at the map with deep eyes, pondered for a long time, and slowly said: "The last general thinks that the lord's strategy is feasible, but the key depends on when Xie Gongjun can arrive in Handan!" ”

The 30,000 soldiers and horses under Xie Bow launched an attack from the Sili area to Handan, and the distance between the two was much closer than that of Liu Xiu's side.

Moreover, from Sili to Handan, the road is smooth, there is no water, there is no mountain, and Wang Lang has deployed the main army in Julu City and Handan City, and there will be no too strong soldiers and horses to block the advance of Xie Gong's army.

Thinking about it, Xie Gong's troops will soon arrive in Handan.

In fact, it is. The 30,000 troops led by Xie Gong almost did not go through a decent confrontation, and advanced all the way to the outside of Handan City.

Looking at Handan City, which was close at hand, Xie Bow was overjoyed and ordered his soldiers to launch a fierce attack on Handan City.

He originally thought that Wang Lang's main army was pinned down by Liu Xiu to Julu City, and Handan City was empty, but as soon as he handed it over, Xie Bow suddenly found that it was not the case at all.

In Handan City, there are many defenders, at least no less than 100,000 people, and 30,000 soldiers are attacking Handan City, which is garrisoned by 100,000 troops.

Just as Xie Bow was stubbornly directing the army to storm Handan, a soldier came to him and handed him a strip of cloth.

Xie bowed and unfolded the cloth strip to take a look, and it was written in Juanxiu's handwriting: Handan City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are many defenders in the city, if you continue to attack, there is a danger of annihilation!

As for the handwriting on the note, Xie Bow is very familiar, and it is from his wife's handwriting.

Looking at the note sent by Mrs. Ba, Xie bowed and gritted his back molars, and then looked at Handan City, which was close at hand, but had caused heavy casualties to his own soldiers, he sighed faintly, and ordered the left and right, Mingjin to withdraw the troops.

Xie Bow's army came quickly, fought quickly, and collected quickly. Just for the time of this meeting, the soldiers who besieged the city had already paid more than 2,000 casualties. Although he ordered the withdrawal of his troops, he did not lead his army to leave Handan, but camped outside the city of Handan, and was still eyeing Handan City.
