Qingzhou, Waiguo.

Shortly after the brutal battle, countless corpses were strewn among the undulating hills. The stiff torsos were tangled with each other, and the severed arms were still clutching knives and guns.

The uncooled blood soaked the dry sand, forming countless tiny streams that converged into the depression and slowly sank into the reddish-brown earth.

On a hill outside the city, more than 1,000 thieves surrounded a black and red banner. The timely rain Song Jiang looked at Qingzhou City, and the high-spirited pleasure in his heart was difficult to express in words.

He led people to defeat the thunderbolt fire Qin Ming and besieged Qingzhou Mansion!

On this day, Qin Ming, who was besieged by Yan Shun and the three of them, rode straight into Qingzhou City in the twilight, bringing bad news about the defeat of the Qingzhou army.

The generals stationed in Qingzhou, Zhu Biao and Wu Kui, were taken aback when they heard the news, and hurriedly reported to Murong Yanda. Murong Yanda urgently recruited his henchmen to discuss countermeasures in the Taishou Mansion.

Murong Yanda leaned sideways on the Hu bed in the main seat. He is about forty years old, with an elegant demeanor, and he is worthy of being a relative of the emperor.

However, perhaps he was shocked by the news of the rout of Qin Ming's army, and his mental state was very bad at the moment. In the dim light, his drooping skin appeared loose and dull, filled with the decadent smell of the waning sun.

Murong Yanda reached out and gently pressed his forehead, sighing in distress. In the past few years, Shandong has risen together, and Qingzhou has also had some turmoil. If the Qingzhou official army is defeated again, the forces of the two sides will be out of balance, and there will be no more opponents in the entire Qingzhou army.

In such a situation, what should be done? I'm afraid my sister won't be able to protect herself!

It's a pity that Murong Yanda is a feudal official, and he has to rely on women in case of trouble.

"Huang Xin, you report the military situation first." Murong Yanda cheered up and said.

Huang Xin, the fierce-looking Zhen Sanshan, bowed down and said, "Tell the Taishou, my lords!" On the sixth day of the first month of this month, our army encircled and suppressed the rebels in Erlongshan, and there were victories and defeats against each other, with more than 400 soldiers killed and 200 enemies killed. ”

Saying that, Huang Xin said cautiously: "Since I learned that Qingzhou was besieged, the Qin commander and the last general Starry Night came to help. Surrounded by a large army of the enemy, they fought and left, and 300 soldiers were killed in the battle and 500 were scattered. When the end of the day will gather the men and horses, there will only be more than 1,000 remnants left in Qingzhou! ”

"At present, the main forces of Song Jiang of Baihu Mountain and Yanshun of Qingfeng Mountain are eyeing outside the city, and Chao Gai of Erlong Mountain also met yesterday, and the soldiers are very sharp and difficult to resist."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the council hall immediately became in an uproar.

Murong Yanda couldn't help but feel very irritated when he saw the panic of these cronies and subordinates. He barely maintained his composure and asked, "Everyone, General Huang has made the situation very clear, what do you think?" ”

Several people in the hall looked at each other, and they didn't want to be the first to speak. Zhou Liang, the chief bookkeeper, has always been deeply trusted by Murong Yanda, and he twisted for a long time, seeing that no one came forward, so he had to cough dryly and said: "My lord, the thieves are very powerful now...... There are less than 10,000 soldiers and horses in Qingzhou City, and many of them are old and weak...... I'm afraid it's hard to beat ......."

This is a battle, and Murong Yanda has a greasy taste.

After Zhou Liang spoke, someone shouted: "Qin Ming lost his teacher and humiliated the country, and he should be investigated for the crime of defeating the army!" ”

Before the man could finish speaking, a cup of hot tea had been poured on his face.

"What gibberish! Say no more! Murong Yanda sneered: "On weekdays, you have more ghost ideas than anyone else, such as scraping the land, selling slaves, robbing merchants, and cultivating goods...... Am I raising you shitch for nothing! ”

Murong Yanda's pretentiousness made Qin Ming and Huang Xinxin, who were kneeling on the ground, feel a lot more at ease.

Qin Ming even had the heart to die. "The grace of the adult not to kill, Qin Ming will not forget until he dies!"

At this time, the thunderbolt fire has long been thunderbolted, and the armor is abandoned, and it is embarrassing!

Zhu Biao was a newcomer, and he had to express his position at this time, and hurriedly bowed down to speak: "Please calm your anger, adults treat me kindly, although we are not enough to repay us!" However, the overthrow of the army is not the crime of one person under the control of Qin, and we will make a plan later! ”

Zhu Biao is notorious, Qin Ming didn't want to see him, but at this time, when he saw him pleading for himself, he also hugged his fists.

Murong Yanda glanced at Zhu Biao and said, "Then, in General Zhu's opinion, how should I behave?" ”

Zhu Biao saw Murong Yanda asking, and said in a deep voice: "The bandits are powerful, and our army has few generals, and I am afraid that fighting against them will be a disastrous victory." According to the humble opinion of the job, it is better to give priority to appeasement, and Xu makes long-term plans. ”

When Murong Yanda heard this, he still couldn't make up his mind. These thieves kill people without counting, attacking the state and plundering the government, how can the court tolerate it!

Another person flashed out of the ranks, but Shi Xian was sentenced: "What General Zhu Biao said is not urgent, I have a plan, I can retreat the thief!" ”

"Tell me about it!" Murong Yanda was happy with the color.

Shi Xian saw that Murong Yan was upset, and said generously: "Dengzhou is too guarded by Uncle Zhang, and the soldiers under the command of Uncle Zhang are strong and brave, and there is a lot of money and food. The strength is extremely strong, and it is really the mainstay of my Great Song Dynasty. I have heard that Lord Zhang and Mrs. Zhang have an old relationship, just a messenger and a letter, and Mrs. Zhang will come to the rescue. Although he is not talented, he is willing to rush to Dengzhou to ask for reinforcements for adults and put down the rebels! ”

Zhu Biao was stepping aside, and couldn't help but be angry when he heard it: This guy has the face to say that I can't help it! How did you get the right idea?

Dengzhou is four or five hundred miles away from here, and there is Jishui running through it, can it be reached in a day or two?

After thinking about it in a blink of an eye, it suddenly dawned on me: Okay, you are Shi Xian, you are a fraud to send a letter, trying to escape!

These civil officials have a bad stomach! Thinking about it, Zhu Biao was still silent.

Murong Yanda also said, I am the imperial prince, Zhang Shuye is loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, and if he asks for help, he will definitely come.

Thinking of this, Murong Yanda hurriedly said: "It's a trick to go to Dengzhou for help, but!" This thief outside the city, how can he resist some time! ”

Zhu Biao said here: "The city of Qingzhou is tall, and the officers and soldiers in the city still have the strength to fight, so they can defend the city." ”

Huang Xin also took the initiative to say: "The last general can lead the troops to be stationed outside the city, and form a corner with the city, and divide the enemy's attention!" ”

Qin Ming plucked up his courage and shouted in a straight voice: "My lord! Although the servant is incompetent, he still has a loyal and courageous heart, and he is willing to take this position! ”

Murong Yanda was also complacent when he saw that he had worked hard for a moment and had received the help of three fierce generals.

So he ordered: "Three generals, loyalty is commendable!" After the enemy is retreated, the official should report to the court. ”

"In that case! ordered Huang Xin to lead his troops out of the city to fight against the battle, and blocked the anti-thieves from entering. Zhu Biao inspected the city defense and practiced sergeants. Qin Ming and rest for a day, and defend the city together tomorrow! ”

"!!" A group of people agreed in unison.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Waiting for Qin Ming, Huang Xin and others to retreat, Murong Yanda kept Zhu Biao, Wu Kui, and Ma Qi.

Murong Yanda first looked at Zhu Biao and said bluntly: "You are also skilled in soldiers and horses these days, and you must not hand over the military power when Qin Ming goes back!" ”

Murong Yanda made up his mind to cultivate Zhu Biao and took measures against Qin Ming.

Then Murong Yanda looked at Wu Kui and asked, "It's been three days since Qingfeng Village sent the order, why haven't you seen Liu Gao and Hua Rong come to reinforce the army?" ”

Wu Kui didn't know that the herald and Liu Gao had died in Qingfeng Town, and he couldn't say why at this time.

Zhu Biaonian was respectful to himself in Wu Kui, and took the initiative to relieve him and said: "Calculate the time, just in these days, maybe there will be reinforcements outside the city tomorrow!" ”

Murong Yanda nodded, and then asked Ma Qi: "You will act after Qin Ming's expedition to Erlong Mountain and the order to return to Qingzhou, and tell me in detail about 1510!" ”

Ma Qi was overjoyed, You Guan was crippled, this was not his chance! Worry about it in your heart, add oil and vinegar, and talk about it!
