Qi Feng didn't commit suicide first, he decided to recuperate here first, and then serve the country after his injuries were healed.

******

Let's talk about Xu Zhihao.

After the Wu army took Huainan and Yancheng, he led 150,000 Wu troops, and he marched in the direction of Xuzhou.

Xu Zhihao wants to take Xuzhou quickly.

Xuzhou was one of the Kyushu prefectures at that time, and Xuzhou at that time managed all of what is now Shandong and some areas in northern Jiangsu.

If Xuzhou is occupied by the Wu army again, the Wu army will be just around the corner if the Wu army wants to take the whole of Shandong.

Because Xuzhou is a state-level city, it has a lot of grain and soldiers.

Xuzhou, which has a lot of grain and soldiers, is going to be occupied, and other small cities can still stand fighting?

At that time, Xuzhou was similar to the current capital of Shandong Province.

******

However, on the way to Xuzhou with Xu Zhihao's 150,000 troops, something happened in his team.

That night, Xu Zhihao was leading an army of 150,000 in the direction of Xuzhou, who knew that something would happen at this time.

Xu Zhihao is still leaving at night?

Didn't Xu Zhihao want to take Xuzhou with lightning speed?

So he's going to be fast.

Xu Zhihao only rested in the middle of the night, and he still marched in the first half of the night.

******

Just talk about this night.

That night, Xu Zhihao was on the march when a cold arrow suddenly flew from a tree on the side of the road.

With a "snap", the cold arrow was shooting at Xu Tianshun's throat.

Xu Tianshun was transferred off the horse at that time.

At that time, Xu Zhihao's men and horses were chaotic.

Xu Tianshun is one of the best martial arts figures in Xu Zhihao's people, he fell off the horse with an arrow, and he was able to return it.

Xu Zhihao's men and horses saw that there was a sudden accident, and they all stopped.

******

After Xu Zhihao's men were a little confused for a while, Xu Zhihao ordered his subordinates: "Catch the assassin!" ”

As soon as Xu Zhihao gave the order, countless Wu soldiers rushed to the direction of the arrow.

After a while, the Assassin was caught.

The assassins were two.

Two Assassins were in a tree by the side of the road. There were so many Wu soldiers who arrested him, but they couldn't catch him.

After the assassins were caught, everyone looked at the two assassins, and everyone almost crooked their noses: those two assassins were Du Chong and Cui Kai, who had just surrendered and asked them to capture Qi Feng's sister Qi Qing and then disappeared.

******

Xu Zhihao saw that it was Du Chong and Cui Kai, so he interrogated Du Chong and Cui Kai: "What a Du Chong and Cui Kai who don't know death, some time ago, Benxiang caught you, Benxiang was kind enough to spare you from dying, and now you don't know how to die!" ”

Du Chong and Cui Kai are quite heroes.

Du Chong and Cui Kai scolded: "Wu dog." We are the courtiers of the Tang Dynasty, how can we yield to you, Wu dog! ”

was so angry that Xu Zhihao slapped the table.

Xu Zhihao instructed his subordinates: "Escort these two things down first, and when the war with Li Tang officially begins, let the heads of the two of them sacrifice the flag!" ”

Du Chong and Cui Kai were escorted down.

******

Then, Xu Zhihao took everyone to see Xu Tianshun's injury.

At this time, Xu Tianshun had already been carried to a place for treatment.

Xu Zhihao and everyone took a look: Xu Tianshun's injuries were serious enough, and Xu Tianshun was unconscious.

Xu Zhihao asked the doctor who treated Xu Tianshun's injury: "How is General Xu's injury?" ”

The doctor shook his head.

The doctor said, "It's hard to say right now. ”

Xu Zhihao said: "Du Chong and Cui Kai are two things. I should have killed them all now! ”

******

It's a disaster.

At this time, a spy suddenly reported: "Report! The prime minister learned that Li Tang had a group of people heading in the direction of Huainan! ”

"What?"

Xu Zhihao was taken aback.

Xu Zhihao said: "Li Tang's reinforcements came so quickly! ”

After Xu Zhihao heard the news. He immediately asked people to inform Xu Tianci, who was rushing to Xuzhou, and asked him not to rush to Xuzhou first, and asked him to return to the army immediately to prepare to defend Huainan.

******

At this time, someone persuaded Xu Zhihao: "The current form is not good for us!" General Xu Tianshun Xu was wounded. Xu Tianci General Xu also let the matter drag on, should we still go to Xuzhou? ”

Xu Zhihao said: "Take! I don't believe that I can't take a Xuzhou with only 10,000 people with 150,000 horses!"

Xu Zhihao led the team to Xuzhou.

******

How is Xuzhou now?

Now Xuzhou has just heard the news that Huainan and Yancheng have been lost.

Guarding Xuzhou is Li Cunqing, the brother of Emperor Li Tang and Li Cunqing.

As mentioned above, it was Li Cunmei, the third brother of Emperor Li Tang, who guarded Xuzhou before. Later, Li Cunmei committed an accident, he asked the emperor Li Cunqiao to kill, and later the one who guarded Xuzhou was replaced by Li Cunqing.

Li Cunqing is a person. He is also a very good person, and he also loves the people.

However, his experience is too inadequate.

Li Cun is sure that in terms of experience, he can't even compare to Tang Xing who guards Huainan, and he can't compare to Qi Feng who guards Yancheng.

Li Cunqing is too young, he is only in his twenties this year.

******

At this time, the reports from Huainan and Yancheng arrived:

"Report! Report to Prince Li that the big thing is not good, Huainan has been occupied by the Wu army! ”

"Report! Report to Prince Li that the big thing is not good, Yancheng has been occupied by the Wu army! ”

The two detectives were like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and they threw the "thunderbolt" over.

As soon as Li Cunqing heard these two news, he almost fainted at that time.

Huainan and Yancheng were handed over to him by the emperor and let him manage, Huainan and Yancheng were lost, how to explain to the emperor?

******

At this time, Li Cun was really anxious, he was anxious about how to recapture Huainan and Yancheng, which had been lost, it was really a disaster, and at this time suddenly two more reports came:

"Report! reported to Li Wangye that the big thing was not good, and Xu Zhihao, the prime minister of Wu State, led 150,000 Wu troops from Yancheng to our Xuzhou! ”

"Report! Report to Prince Li, the big thing is not good, Xu Tianci, the general of Wu State, led an army of 50,000 to our Xuzhou to kill! ”

When Li Cunqing heard this, he was so anxious that he almost jumped up.

Now there are only 10,000 horses in Xuzhou City, and 200,000 troops are suddenly coming, can he not be in a hurry?

******

Let's talk about Li Cunqing.

When Li Cunqing heard that Wu's 200,000 troops were coming, he hurriedly ordered: "Order the troops!" ”

Li Cun really wanted to recapture Huainan and Yancheng to the death.

Soon, the people were ordered.

After the people were ordered, Li Cuncheng was going to lead the people and horses out.

******

At this time, Sima Chengcheng, the deputy general of Xuzhou, persuaded Li Cunqing: "Lord Li, in my opinion, it is better for you not to go to war." ”

Li Cunqing said: "Why? ”

Sima Cheng said: "There are too many Wu troops. The Wu army had more than 200,000. We only have 10,000 soldiers. If you go out, you don't want to take advantage. ”

Li Cunqing said: "What do you know? ”

Sima Cheng said: "In my humble opinion, now you should immediately repair a letter and go to Luoyang to report an emergency, and then prepare to defend the city." ”

Li Cunqing said: "Tell me your humble opinion. Why can you only defend and not fight? ”

"...... this?"

Sima Chengxin said: Why do you talk like that, Lord Wang? "Humble opinion" is that I am humble, how can you say that?

Li Cun really doesn't care about that.

Sima Cheng said: "I said it just now. Because there are too many thieves, if we fight, we won't be able to beat him at all. If we keep it, although we have few people, we can also guard him for ten or eight days. As soon as our reinforcements arrive, it's not too late for us to fight him again. ”

Li Cunqing said: "How can this be reasonable! As a courtier, if you eat the emperor's grain, you should swear to repay the emperor's kindness! If you dare to disturb the hearts of the army again, I will kill you! ”

******

Li Cunzhi resolutely went to war, and he missed Xuzhou in a hurry. (To be continued.) )
