"He Taishou, this batch of grain and grass has been transported to the granary. Now that General Xiang's power is getting bigger and bigger, in a few months, we won't have to be so sneaky in transporting grain. Chen Shaodong's eldest son, Chen Buyun, escorted the grain and grass and reported to Taishou as usual.

Xiang Yi and Huang Guixuan both led their troops to fight Xiakou, and now all the affairs in the city are in charge of Taishou He Shengyu.

"Hard work Chen Gongzi, now that Yingchuan is fighting, it's not convenient for you to transport grain, right? But this is also the last time, General Xiang can take Yingchuan immediately, and in the future, your grain can be sent directly to Zhoukou, and we will have fewer opportunities to deal with it in the future. Recently, the Chu army has won battles, and He Shengyu is also full of joy.

"That's not necessarily, Lord He, you have followed General Xiang for so many years, and now that the new emperor has just ascended the throne, most of the important positions in the court are still vacant, with Lord He's ability and qualifications, not to mention the position of the three princes, even if it is the throne of the prime minister, it is not impossible to fight for it. When you go to Zhoukou, you have to carry the younger generation. Chen Buyun slapped a fart just right.

"Haha, this has to be arranged by General Xiang, if it is really as Chen Gongzi said, I remember the friendship between your father and son for Da Chu, and I will definitely find an opportunity to repay it." He Shengyu smiled even more happily, and even the guards outside the door relaxed their vigilance when they heard their adults laughing so happily.

It was at this time that Ding Jiaxuan, who was standing behind Chen Buyun, suddenly became difficult, rushed to He Shengyu with an arrow step, and choked his throat with his hand.

He Shengyu was shocked by the sudden change, his face was swollen and red, but because his neck was choked, let alone screaming, he even felt difficult to breathe.

"Let you go now, and if you dare to shout, I promise to kill you before your guards come in." Ding Jiaxuan threatened in a low voice.

He Shengyu glanced at the guards in the courtyard and saw that they didn't notice anything unusual in the house, so he had to nod.

Ding Jiaxuan let go of his hand at this time, He Shengyu took a few breaths, and looked at Chen Buyun very puzzled: "What does Chen Gongzi mean by this?" Why do you want to do this to this official? ”

"To tell you the truth, our father and son have always been General Deng's people, and it is his intention to provide you with food and grass. This time, General Xiang made such a big move, and the general had to deal with him in advance. Chen Buyun was a little ashamed, after all, he had deceived others for so many years.

"I see, no wonder General Xiang has always been suspicious of your father and son, if you don't kill me now, do you want me to surrender to the Song Kingdom too?" He Shengyu knew the truth, but he calmed down a lot.

"My lord, do you have any other choice? Whether you surrender or not, Suizhou can't be saved, General Deng's 50,000 light cavalry is ambushed outside the city, just wait for us to send a signal, he will order the siege of the city, and the master of the Heavenly Sword Gate who is ambushed at the city gate will also open the city gate for him. We advise you to surrender only to reduce the casualties of the people. Chen Buyun still hopes to leave He Shengyu alive in his heart.

"What? Deng Yuanjue came back from Yan Kingdom? Isn't his army still in Liuzhou? He Shengyu was shocked.

"It's General Zhou Yunjing in Liuzhou, he is just using General Deng's handsome flag to cover people's eyes, and the general himself came back half a month ago." Chen Buyun did not hide it.

He Shengyu smiled bitterly: "It seems that I have no choice." Well, for the sake of the people in the city, I will give this city to you, and now take me to General Deng. ”

Chen Buyun and Ding Jiaxuan were both happy in their hearts, they thought that they would experience a bloody battle, but they didn't expect to talk about him so smoothly.

"He Taishou, I've always been looking forward to you joining our Great Song Dynasty." After Deng Yuanjue led the army into the city, he saw He Shengyu kneeling on the side of the road to greet him, and hurriedly dismounted to help.

"Xiaguan has long admired the prestige of the general, and how dare he not measure his strength and use his mantis arm as a car. I also hope that the general can not remember the past evil and treat the people in the city kindly. He Shengyu lay on the ground and didn't dare to look up.

"This is natural, the people of Suizhou will also be the people of my Great Song Dynasty in the future, and General Ben should treat everyone equally." Deng Yuanjue lowered his body again to pull He Shengyu.

He Shengyu took the opportunity to hold Deng Yuanjue's right hand, and when he stood up, he didn't know if it was because he knelt for too long, his legs were a little numb, and he didn't stand still, and his body collided directly with Deng Yuanjue.

Deng Yuanjue reacted very quickly, his left hand pressed his body, and he was about to laugh and tease a few words, when he suddenly felt a cold in his chest, and a sharp blade had cut through his clothes and was about to insert it into his chest.

At this moment, Deng Yuanjue raised his right foot and kicked He Shengyu more than ten meters away.

It turned out that He Shengyu deliberately pretended to fall down just now and lured Deng Yuanjue to help him, so as to take the opportunity to insert the sharp blade that had been hidden in his sleeve into his heart, but he didn't expect Deng Yuanjue to react very quickly, and the blade knew that it was wrong when it touched the skin, and hurriedly kicked him away.

"Why? Didn't you promise me to surrender to the general? Chen Buyun panicked in his heart, worried that Deng Yuanjue would be angry with him because of this.

"I have followed General Xiang for many years, and even in his most critical moment, I never thought of surrendering to others, let alone now. If I hadn't known that Suizhou couldn't hold it, I wouldn't have let you into the city, but unfortunately it fell short in the end. He Shengyu fell to the ground and was unable to move again, and the corners of his mouth were still spurting blood out of his mouth when he spoke.

Deng Yuanjue is such a martial artist, He Shengyu is just an ordinary literati, where can he withstand him.

"Block the news externally, don't let Xiang Chu know that Suizhou has been taken by us." After Deng Yuanjue finished the order, he walked directly to the Taishou Mansion, and he didn't even look at He Shengyu on the ground.

"Father, it's better to take advantage of the fact that Chen Buyun's father and son have not been exposed now, and we will use the same method to capture Zhoukou City." Deng Wenjie wants to repeat his old tricks.

Deng Yuanjue shook his head: "No, Zhoukou is not comparable to Suizhou, it is the new capital of Chu State, unless you can capture Chu Emperor Xiong Yi alive, you can't be sure that you can open the city gate if you catch anyone." And Chen Buyun is only responsible for transporting grain and grass, so he will not have the opportunity to meet Xiong Yi at all. ”

"That's a pity, in the future, Xiang Chu knows the process of Suizhou's loss, and they can easily deduce that Chen Buyun's father and son are internal ghosts, and the two of them will not be needed in the future." Deng Wenjie was a little unwilling.

"Their father-son mission has been completed, don't bother them anymore in the future. This time, in order to cover people's eyes, we only brought 50,000 light horsemen out, and it is impossible to fight Zhoukou with this amount of troops, so let's attack Yicheng first. The defenders of Yicheng were all taken to Xiakou by Tian Wuheng, I will give you 25,000 people, you go and take it, remember not to leak the news. Deng Yuanjue decided to relieve the siege of Xiakou first.

"The child takes the command."

The reason why Tian Wuheng dared to leave only 3,000 defenders for Yicheng was because after the alliance between the Qi State and the New Chu State, there were no enemies around it.

When Deng Wenjie led the army to the city, they didn't come to their senses, and thought that Tian Wuheng had withdrawn his troops and returned, until they saw the appearance of the leading generals, they knew that it was the Song army that came to sneak attack.

It's a pity that it's all late, Deng Wenjie in order to keep it secret. The four gates were occupied at the first time, and then a bloody massacre followed, in which none of the 3,000 defenders remained, and all of them were killed.

All this Qi and Chu were still in the dark, and it was not until a month later, when the quartermaster reported to Tian Wuheng that the grain and grass in the army were about to run out, that Tian Wuheng suddenly realized that he had not received news from the direction of Yicheng for a while.

"Send someone back to Yicheng to see, why hasn't the grain and grass been transported yet? Wang Yi, is this too shou not wanting to do it? Tian Wuheng was a little angry.

"The last general sent people back five days ago, but there is still no news, and even the people sent there have lost contact." The quartermaster replied tremblingly.

Tian Wuheng frowned: "Could it be that there is a change in Yicheng, and Xiang Chu led the army to attack us?" ”

Just when he was puzzled, Xiang Yi walked in angrily with someone and stared at Tian Wuheng for a long time without speaking.

"What does General Xiang mean by this, why do you keep staring at me?" Tian Wuheng was a little hairy in his heart.

Xiang Yi watched for a long time, but he didn't notice anything unusual, so he had to tell the truth: "Our army is about to run out of food, and Suizhou has not delivered grain and grass for half a month. I thought you sent someone to attack Suizhou, so I came to test it. ”

Tian Wuheng was shocked and told him about the situation on his side.

"This is impossible, Suizhou and Yicheng have no other armies except for our two armies, what happened?" Xiang Yi thought of many possibilities, but none of them made sense.

"It's not a way for us to sit here and guess, why don't we withdraw our troops and go back first?" Tian Wuheng proposed.

Xiang Yi couldn't think of a better way, so he had to adopt Tian Wuheng's suggestion.

Just when the two armies set up camp and were about to leave, Lei Zhengming suddenly came out of the city with an army of 50,000, and Yue Shouming's army acted together.

Helpless, the two had to order the battle first, but as soon as the two armies came into contact, Lei Zhengming and the two retreated.

When Xiang Yi was about to withdraw again, the Song army came out again. After several repetitions, the officers and men of the two armies of Qi and Chu were exhausted.

"It seems that this Lei Zhengming doesn't plan to let us withdraw, General Tian, how are you going to deal with it?" Xiang Yi came to the Qi army camp in a hurry to discuss with Tian Wuheng.

Tian Wuheng lowered his head and pondered for a while: "It seems that our worries are right, there must be something wrong with Yicheng and Suizhou." ”

Xiang Yi's eyes lit up when he saw the masters of the Tianqi Sect behind Tian Wuheng: "Aren't there still many masters of the Tianqi Sect in your army, it is better to send them back to take a look, they can at least retreat in case of danger." ”

"Elder Chen, then you can take a few people to Yicheng and Suizhou to have a look, no matter what happens there, don't act rashly, come back and report to me as soon as possible." Tian Wuheng said to the person behind him.
