Chapter 232: Recapture Zhoukou

"Will General Tian return to Beijing? There is also the third brother, he was also named King Lu, can it mean that he is still alive, but he is temporarily under house arrest by the eldest brother? After listening to Shi Pre's analysis, Jiang Wan'er asked with some concern.

Tian Wuji is different from Jiang Huanchu and Jiang Huanyan, he is not a prince, although he is on the wrong side in the battle for the storage position, but if he is willing to give in, it is entirely possible for Jiang Huan Song to give him another chance, after all, Qi Guo can fight Deng Yuanjue, except for Jiang Huanyan, he is the only one. This time he was named An Guogong, which was a signal of goodwill released by Jiang Huan Song.

Jiang Huan Chu shook his head: "It's hard to say whether the third brother is alive or dead for the time being, and the eldest brother named him King Lu, maybe it's just to avoid people's eyes." As for General Tian, don't worry, he is a tough guy with iron bones, and he will never return to Beijing to give in to his eldest brother because he is afraid of power, but for the stability of Daqi, he will not turn his face with his eldest brother, he must have asked to continue to stay in Xiangyang to defend against Deng Yuanjue's attack. ”

Before leaving Beijing, Jiang Huan Chu had entrusted Shi Yizhi to help investigate the situation in the palace, but after such a long time, with Linglong Pavilion's ability, there was no news of Jiang Huanyan, and it could only be said that it was more than lucky.

"That means General Tian won't support us for the time being? Fourth brother, you only have 100,000 troops and four cities in your hands, can you handle it? Jiang Wan'er was still worried about Jiang Huanchu.

Jiang Huan Chu patted her on the shoulder: "Don't worry, General Tian is just showing it to the eldest brother on the surface, don't forget that now my deputy general Tian Kangyou is his nephew, if he really doesn't support me, then he can take all these 100,000 people away." As for whether I can cope with it, it's still no problem in a short time, my eldest brother has just succeeded to the throne, and there are still many things to deal with, so I can't take care of it for the time being. ”

"That's not a way, the eldest brother will only take half a year at most to take out to deal with you, and besides, your opponent is not only the eldest brother, but also the general Deng of the Song Kingdom, he will not let go of this opportunity, and after he takes Zhoukou, the next thing is Xuchang and your Kaifeng, maybe they will temporarily unite." The things that Deng Yuanjue had calculated before left a deep impression on Jiang Wan'er, and every time she thought about it, she had palpitations.

At this time, Jiang Huan Chu stopped talking, as far as the current situation is concerned, his situation is indeed quite dangerous, even if the Tianluo Sect wants to help, it is beyond the reach of the whip, and the power cannot touch Kaifeng as far as for the time being.

"I have a way to fight for the four princes for a while longer." Shi Yu suddenly spoke.

"What's the solution? Mr. Shi, hurry up. Jiang Wan'er asked for her brother.

Shi Yu looked at Ning Buqu: "This matter has to fall on General Ning, it depends on whether General Ning is willing to help?" ”

"Me?" Ning Buqu was a little puzzled, and then reacted again: "Mr. Shi means to let me make trouble for Jiang Huan Song in Yan Land under the banner of reviving Yan Kingdom?" ”

Shi Yu nodded: "Qi and our Tianluo Sect are in-laws, and we also have a lot of cooperation in trade, even now in the mainland, we still have to borrow their Penglai Port and Jiaozhou Port, so it is inconvenient for us to directly send troops to Yandi." But General Ning, you are different, you are a nobleman of Yan Kingdom, and you are deeply loved by the local people, if you are willing to make trouble, we will support you behind it, which is good for the four princes and you. ”

Shi Zhuben didn't want to say this, the so-called inseparable, no matter what, Shi Luosheng is also the son-in-law of Qi State, no matter how good his relationship with him is, he is always an outsider. But seeing that Jiang Wan'er was determined to help Jiang Huanchu, she couldn't bear it for a while and said it.

"Unyielding, are you willing to make trouble?" Jiang Wan'er looked at Ning Bu with anticipation.

Ning Buqu thought for a while and said, "The Tianluo Sect is willing to support me in starting an incident in Yandi, of course I can't ask for it. It's just that I know that Taifu is determined to be in the world, if I am under the banner of reviving the Yan Kingdom, if I succeed in the future, then how can I get along with Taifu? Besides, my father was loyal to the Zhu family, but he was forced to die by their father and son, so I only want to rebuild the Ghost Shadow Gate, and I don't want to revive the Yan Kingdom. Ning Buqu is still the same as before, calling Shi Luo promoted to Taifu.

Shi Yu listened to it but was secretly happy in his heart, what Ning Buqu was worried about was what he had always been worried about. As early as when Shi Luosheng rescued Ning Buqu from Nanjun, he hinted that if Ning Buqu was allowed to lead a force alone in the future, in case the restoration of the country was successful, would he still meet him with his sword soldiers in the future?

Jiang Wan'er was all about her fourth brother, and she didn't think so deeply about Shi Yu, seeing that Ning Bu had the intention of refusing, she hurriedly said: "Don't be busy refusing first, in the past two days, my fourth brother and I are planning to go to Qin State to find Brother Shi, why don't you go with us, and listen to Brother Shi's opinion then, if he doesn't mind you making trouble in Yandi, then why should you mind?" ”

Ning Buqu did not refuse this time: "That's fine, I haven't seen Taifu for a long time, just go with His Highness to meet him, if he agrees with me to start an incident, I will immediately come back to gather the old ministry and fight with Jiang Huan Song." ”

Seeing that a few people had made up their minds, Zu Qingzhi still sent several elders of the Tianluo Sect to protect them along the way, and promised to help the current deputy sect master of the Ghost Shadow Sect to rebuild the sect in Rongcheng during the time that Ning Buqu left.

Just when a few people left for the Qin State, Xiang Chu of Zhoukou City could no longer resist after Deng Wenhao arrived on the battlefield.

"General, Emperor Qi Jiang Wushuang died suddenly, Jiang Huan Chu rushed back to Shangjing to mourn, at this time, I am afraid that the State of Qi will not be able to send reinforcements to support us, relying on our own words, it will be difficult to hold Zhoukou." While Xiang Zhuang was talking, he looked at the dense Song army under the city wall, and rushed up one after another.

Since Deng Yuanjue sent Zhou Yunjing to guard Chaisang, he transferred Deng Wenhao back from Yingchuan and decided to fight to the death with Xiang Chu and Jiang Huan Chu.

Later, when he heard the news of Zhou Yunjing's defeat, Deng Yuanjue, who had planned to admit defeat and retire, suddenly learned that Jiang Wushuang was seriously ill and that Jiang Huanyan and Jiang Huanchu were recalled to Beijing.

"General, our casualties are too great, if we continue to defend like this, when Deng Yuanjue attacks in, we won't even have the strength to organize street battles, so it's better to give up Zhoukou and escort Your Majesty to Xuchang." Chief staff member Huang Guixuan frowned and persuaded.

This is also him, if it were someone else, he wouldn't dare to open this mouth, Zhoukou is the capital of the New Chu State, how can he say that he will give up.

After hearing this, Xiang Chu silently glanced at the generals, and seeing that they were all demoralized, he had to sigh and said: "It's really not the right time for this Jiang Wushuang to die, so let's all go and prepare, and we will break through from the north gate in half an hour." Xiang Yi, you go to the palace to pick up Your Majesty, and his safety will be entrusted to you. ”

The safety of Emperor Chu Xiong Xin was of great importance, and Xiang Chu specially sent Xiang Yi, who had the highest martial arts, to protect him.

Half an hour later, the Chu army opened the north gate, Xiang Zhuang, Yingyue, and Peng Yu led the troops to rush to the front, Xiang Yi followed closely with Xiong Xin, and Xiang Chu took Huang Guixuan to the rear.

Deng Yuanjue was taking Deng Wenhao and Deng Wenjie to attack other city gates, and when he heard the news, he could only look at Xiang Chu's back from a distance.

"Father, I'll lead the soldiers to chase them." Deng Wenhao asked for his life, he was beaten by Xiang Chu in Yingchuan a few months ago, and he was thinking about taking this opportunity to take revenge.

Deng Yuanjue shook his head: "Poor Kou Mo chases, forget it, Wen Jie, I'll give you 30,000 horses, you now take the trail to take Chen Liu and Liang Jun for your father, and return to Zhoukou to garrison as soon as you succeed." Wenhao and I still have to find a way to deal with Xiakou's Qi army. ”

Deng Wenjie took the order and left, Deng Yuanjue and his son entered Zhoukou City, and after pacifying the people, the father and son sat together.

"Father, are you worried about General Zhou's safety? There was news from the front that General Zhou had escaped from Zeng Dong, and his body had not been seen in Wulao Mountain, so I think he should return to Huicheng soon. Deng Wenhao saw that his father was worried, and couldn't help asking.

Deng Yuanjue shook his head: "This time it is really a dangerous victory, if it weren't for Jiang Wushuang's sudden death, our father and son would have been completely defeated in the hands of Jiang Huanyan." This person's use of soldiers is really unpredictable, I asked Yunjing to go back to guard Chaisang, but he was used by him, and captured my two important towns of Chaisang and Shuzhou in a row, in terms of using troops alone, I am not his opponent. ”

"Father actually thinks so highly of him, next time on the battlefield, I will ask for advice." As soon as he heard this, Deng Wenhao was naturally unconvinced. When Deng Yuanjue was fighting Yan, he stayed in Shouchun and only heard a little about Jiang Huanyan's performance on the battlefield of Yan Kingdom. Besides, rumors are such things, of course, advocated by the victorious side, and how much water is in them, and there are a few outsiders who really know.

What's more, in his heart, his father is an existence like a military god, although Jiang Huanyan is also very powerful, but he just occupies the national strength of Qi State.

Deng Yuanjue knew that he was not convinced, but he didn't take it to heart, and smiled: "I don't know if it's your luck or misfortune, I'm afraid you won't have a chance to meet him on the battlefield in the future." ”

Deng Wenhao was puzzled: "Father means that he was placed under house arrest by Jiang Huan and Song after returning to Beijing?" I don't think so, this Jiang Huanyan has never participated in the battle for the storage position, but the relationship with Jiang Huanchu is usually better, but if he can't do it, he will abandon it, you must know that he is the first person in naval warfare, and it is good to keep it for naval warfare in the future. ”

Although Deng Wenhao didn't think he could surpass his father, deep down he still affirmed Jiang Huanyan's way of using troops, especially in naval warfare.

Deng Yuanjue still shook his head: "If Jiang Huan Song is given another chance, of course he will not be willing to use Jiang Huanyan, but unfortunately, Jiang Huanyan at this time is afraid that he has already been killed." ”
