The fierce battle soon ended, and the brigade led by Nguyen Vu, the king of Zhendong, completely annihilated the cavalry of the Red Turban Army that came to stop them.

Ruan Wu, who was holding the blood-dripping Fang Tian painting halberd, heard Ma Yuanqi's exclamation behind him: "Lord Wang, look at it!" ”。

Ruan Wu looked up and saw that wolf smoke was billowing from the city tower not far away, which was a warning to Pingzhou. Ruan Wu gritted his teeth hatefully and said: "From now on, when you meet a god and kill a god, you meet a Buddha*, but anyone who prevents our army from going to Pingzhou Qinwang to save the driver will be punished as a rebel, and there will be no mercy!" ”。

Ma Yuanqi nodded again and again: "What the prince said is reasonable!" The soldiers are fast, without further ado, let's go! ”。

Guan Yu, who was checking the progress of the construction of the warship at the dock, looked back and saw two wonderful people with ruddy faces and smiling faces, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, strode forward, and asked happily, "Why are you here?" ”。

Nie Yunniang and Chen Ling'er looked at each other and smiled, both of them were shy, and lowered their heads slightly.

If it weren't for the bright sun shining above his head and the large number of soldiers around, Guan Yu couldn't wait to immediately pounce and hug the two of them into his arms at the same time.

Nie Yunniang took the lead in breaking the short-term embarrassment, bowed her head and hugged her fists and said: "General Guan, the last general is on the orders of the Holy Lord and Dazai, and I am here to help you suppress the bandits." ”

Guan Yu pretended to puff up his chest and nodded solemnly.

Chen Ling'er blinked a pair of beautiful eyes, opened her mouth slightly, stared at the tall warship that had begun to take shape in surprise, and couldn't help but ask: "This is the warship used to suppress bandits?" So tall, so majestic! ”。

General Guan endured a few endurances before he didn't reach out to scratch her little nose in front of everyone.

He turned his face to Yao Taihe and said, "General Yao, I'll leave it to you here, keep an eye on it, especially the various connections must be tightly seamless, and every drop of water will not leak to ensure that nothing goes wrong." ”

On the way back to the camp, Guan Yu, who was riding on a horse, turned around with concern and said to Yun Niang: "Is your illness cured?" I have enough soldiers and horses here, you don't need to come again, just wait for the battleship to be completed, our army will destroy the thieves and kill them! ”。

Chen Ling'er, who was on the left horse, whispered: "Sister Yun has already recovered, isn't it worrying about you to come non-stop?" You bad guy who doesn't know what to do. ”

Hearing this, Nie Yunniang's face "soared", as if covered with a layer of transparent red silk, she glanced at Chen Ling'er speechlessly, and lowered her head shyly.

Guan Yu turned around with a smile and asked in a low voice, "What about you?" Did you miss me? ”。

Chen Ling'er smiled "poof", her face seemed to be smeared with a layer of rouge, white and red, she bit her lower lip lightly, and glared at Guan Yu with complicated eyes, and finally couldn't stand his smiling scoundrel look, and slowly lowered her head.

Guan Yu sat up straight with a smile, and said loudly: "After you return to the camp, you will take a bath and change your clothes, and wash the dust of this daily rush, and you don't have to worry about the suppression of bandits at all." The general ordered some people to catch some live fish and shrimp in this lake, and invited you to have a good meal in the evening, and treat you well. As he spoke, he lifted the reins of his horse, and the "panther" spread its hooves and rushed to the front with a brisk step.

Nie Yunniang and Ling'er were both slightly stunned, and when they tasted General Guan's extraneous voice, the two of them were more embarrassed on their faces, and they invariably spat lightly at his back. They both raised their whips lightly, and the two war horses under their crotches also neighed happily, racing to turn their hooves and blaze their palms and gallop after them.

Liu Qian, the new emperor of Great Chu, and Dazai Shi Tiangong both stood on top of the high Pingzhou City Tower, their faces gloomy and their brows furrowed.

Under the city is a crowded crowd of Qingzhou soldiers and horses. Holding Fang Tian's halberd in his hand, the smug Zhendong King Ruan Wu raised his head and smiled: "I have seen two elder brothers, and the third brother is so polite." Please give the order of the two brothers to open the city gate as soon as possible, so that I can wait for my brothers to be reunited. ”

Liu Qian sighed heavily with embarrassment on his face, and said loudly: "Third brother, why are you suffering? You and my brothers were born and died together, like brothers and sisters. What can't you sit down and deliberate about? But you have to bring a large team of men and horses to the city, is this to force the palace? ”。

Ruan Wu laughed and said, "Brother is not strange, and the younger brother is also in love." Hearing that his brother was held hostage by wicked people, the younger brother risked his life to lead the army to King Qin's rescue. Please ask my brother to order someone to open the city gate quickly, and I can go back with confidence when I see that you are indeed safe and sound! ”。

Shi Tiangong, who had long been unbearable on the side, stretched out his hand and pointed at Ruan Wu and shouted: "Bold Ruan Wu, when I saw His Majesty the Great Chu Emperor, instead of dismounting and bowing, he was full of nonsense!" What did King Qin say to save the driver, how could the royal brother have been coerced? However, you left the defense area privately, left your post without permission, and led the army to surge, do you know that this is a major crime of rebellion against the Nine Clans?! In the early stage, I wrote a good word to persuade you, but you failed to get lost! What a pain! ”。

Ruan Wu's face changed immediately, and he snorted coldly in his nose and replied, "Second brother, you don't need to scare me!" The fifth and sixth elders all led a large army to fight abroad, and the distant water could not quench the thirst of the near. There are only 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers and horses in Pingzhou City, you can open your eyes and look at the people and horses behind me, today I have the final say! If you know the times, quickly open the city gates, and read the love of the brothers in the past, I can guarantee your personal safety, otherwise, when my army storms and kills the city, don't blame me for turning my face and being ruthless! ”。

Seeing that Liu Qian and Shi Tiangong on the city tower stopped talking, they both hid their figures. After waiting for a stick of incense, the city gate of Pingzhou did not move.

Ma Yuanqi lightly lifted the reins of the horse, stepped forward, and whispered to Ruan Wu: "Lord Wang, you must not delay at this time, you have fallen for their delaying tactics. Just don't do it and force the siege! ”。

Ruan Wu gritted his teeth with a pale face and nodded, raised the Fang Tian Painting Halberd in his hand high and shouted loudly: "The three armies obeyed the order and immediately set up artillery to attack the city, but those who resist will be killed!" ”。

With Ruan Wu's order, there was a roar of artillery fire. On the city tower and at the city gate, the smoke of gunpowder billowed and the rubble flew sideways. Before the smoke cleared, these Qingzhou soldiers and horses simultaneously let out an earth-shattering shouting and killing sound, and the foot soldiers in the front row shouldered the ladder and held a big shield, screaming and rushing up.

Behind the battlements on the castle tower, a row of crossbowmen suddenly stood up, everyone held the bow in their hands like a full moon, and the tip of the arrow pointed directly at the dense crowd of ants under the city. With a shrill whistling of arrows tearing through the air, many of the city's soldiers fell to the ground.

In the meeting hall of the former Red Turban Army in the city, Liu Qian sat there with a sad face, sighing, and gritting his teeth. Dazai Ishitengong sat aside with a lonely expression, bowing his head and saying nothing.

Liu Qian glanced at Shi Tiangong with resentment in his eyes, and asked, "Second brother, you said that this third brother didn't have any warning in advance, why did he suddenly rebel?" It is also strange that the widows were overjoyed after their own army exterminated the hussar camp, and they were eager to overthrow Daqi, which caused the emptiness of our Pingzhou City and gave others an opportunity! ”。

Shi Tian's archer stroked his long hair, sighed lightly, and said: "A few days ago, Weichen sent fast horses overnight to inform the fifth and sixth brothers respectively, so that they can return to help as soon as possible at all costs!" Your Majesty, I was shocked today: the most unpredictable thing in this world is the human heart, which has to be guarded against but cannot be prevented! ”。

Liu Qian nodded again and again with deep sympathy: "Yes, it's just that there are too few defenders in this city, I don't know if the fifth and sixth brothers can return to help in time before the city is broken?" ”。

Shi Tiangong thought for a moment, got up and walked two steps, knelt on the ground in front of Liu Qian, bowed three times and bowed nine times and then raised his head and said: "Holy Lord, in case Pingzhou City is broken by the rebels before the two brothers return to help, the minister suggests that Your Majesty should make compromises, no matter what rude demands the rebels make, they must be accepted, just try to delay the time." Wanwang takes care of the dragon's body, leaving Qingshan without fear of no firewood, and after the two brothers lead the troops back, they will settle the new accounts and old accounts together! According to Wei Chen's estimate, Ruan Wu is afraid that the soldiers under the fifth and sixth children are strong and strong, and the number is huge, and at the same time, he wants to block the mouth of the world, and he will never dare to take your life in the short term."

Liu Qian's two eyes rolled in his sockets a few times, clenched his steel teeth, and nodded heavily with a blue face.

When night fell, in the military camp of Tang Wannian, the king of Pingnan, hundreds of miles away, the smoke of the war during the day had already dissipated, and the soldiers dragged their tiredness and gradually fell asleep.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, the lights are dim. Tang Wannian, the king of Pingnan, did not sit behind the tall handsome case, but sat cross-legged in front of a small square table below, on which a pot of wine and two dishes were placed. Opposite him sat an old man with a white beard, this person was named Fan Jin, and he was the number one strategist in the army who was deeply trusted by Tang Wannian.

Tang Wannian raised his hand to pick up the wine jug and poured wine into the cup in front of the two, Fan Jin hurriedly raised his wrist, held the cup in front of him, and nodded his head to express his gratitude.

Putting down the wine jug, Tang Wannian raised his head and frowned and said: "Military advisor, not long ago, I received a generous gift from the third brother Zhendong King Ruan Wu, and the envoy said that my third brother will make some big moves recently, and I hope that I will help you, and at least I can stand by and watch without interference." I just received a letter of help from the second brother who sent a fast horse, and my third brother actually sent troops to Pingzhou, under the banner of King Qin's rescue, and surrounded the city of Pingzhou like an iron bucket! Faced with such a situation, what should this king do? ”。

Fan Jin on the other side was startled, reached out and grabbed the wine glass and dried it regardless of it, then his eyes widened, wiped the wine droplets spilled on his beard and asked: "What are your plans in your heart, you might as well talk to you first, and then give advice to the prince." ”

Tang Wannian was slightly stunned, and he also picked up the cup on the table at any time, and said with a wry smile: "If this king has made up his mind, he still asks you what to do?" ”。

Fan Jin's eyes flashed, and he smiled unceremoniously and said, "Lord Wang, you received a letter from Shi Dazai asking for help, but sitting here and drinking with him in a hurry has already exposed your true thoughts. Lord Wang, do you want to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, no one will be offended, and wait until they both lose and then sit back and reap the benefits of the fisherman, right? ”。

Tang Wannian, the king of Pingnan, smiled slightly, did not answer, but slowly tasted the taste of the wine in the cup.

Fan Jin suddenly stood up on the case, jumped to his feet and shouted: "Lord Wang, you are confused!" Judging the situation, the situation in front of you is not only a severe test for the prince, but also a great opportunity, how can you sit idly by and let it go down the drain?! ”。

Tang Wannian raised his head in surprise, unable to figure out what kind of medicine this Fan Jin was selling in his throat. He hurriedly waved his hand and said, "The military advisor will sit down first, I don't know what the military advisor thinks?" Tang is willing to hear the details. ”
