Zhu Yi, as the imperial envoy of Emperor Liang, took the honor guard given by His Majesty, and entered Pengcheng in high spirits in the stars of Yuan Jingzhong and his entourage.

Outside the hall of Pengcheng, although the monk Yuan was already a seventy-year-old man, he could see that his body was still strong and his spirit was strong, and he personally led a group of civil and military generals to kneel at the door to greet him.

Entering the house, the Yuan monk flattered Zhu Yigao to sit on the throne, Zhu Yi smiled, "Yuan Gong, the guest of honor is different, Zhu Mou never dares to trespass; Moreover, Yuan Gong is in the age of ancient times, and he can still abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and do this righteous act, Zhu admires it very much, this seat, or Yuan Gong is seated. ”

Seeing that Zhu Yi spoke politely, Yuan Fa Monk was also a little more steady.

As soon as he sat down, the monk clapped his hands, and several guards came in with a few large boxes, followed by twenty handsome girls.

In front of Zhu Yi, the monk got up and personally opened the lid of the box one by one—gold bricks, silver ingots, pearls, gems, corals, tortoiseshells...... The rare treasures were dazzling, and Zhu Yi couldn't help but stand up.

Showing these treasures, the monk Yuan asked those girls to step forward and salute Zhu Yi - these girls were obviously carefully dressed, graceful, bright eyes and bright teeth, skin like cream, beautiful and delicious, Zhu Yi's eyes were firmly entangled, and he couldn't move away.

Monk Yuan saw Zhu Yi's reaction completely, and then put on a sneer, and said respectfully, "The old man knows that the imperial envoy is His Majesty's confidant and important minister, and this time he can use Zhu Gong as the imperial envoy, and the old man deeply feels His Majesty's grace." This is a greeting gift, and I hope that the imperial envoy will smile. ”

Zhu Yi took his eyes off the treasures and the girls, and turned to the Yuan monk, "Yuan Gong is really too much courtesy, such a generous gift, so flattered to Zhu!" ”

"It's just a small courtesy, not enough to worry about, and the old man still hopes that Zhu Gong will be in front of His Majesty, and he will have a lot of good words for the old man."

"What does the Yuan Gong want, but it doesn't matter, Zhu Mou made it clear to His Majesty that it became the wish of the Yuan Gong."

"Good, good! Zhu Gong is really a cheerful person! The old man got straight to the point. Yuan monk stroked his palms and said with a smile, "This Xuzhou is the land of the four wars, and now the old decay has taken refuge in the Great Liang, and the Northern Wei Dynasty will definitely not sit idly by, and it will inevitably raise troops to attack; The old man is old and frail, and he is really unable to lead the army to resist, so he just wants to be able to get to Jiankang and recuperate for the rest of his life. Xuzhou - The old man will offer it with both hands, and His Majesty can choose someone promising to take over. ”

Zhu Yi felt that he was really lucky - Monk Yuan actually offered to go to Jiankang! Isn't that what he's here for?

But he still suppressed his ecstasy, and asked in surprise, "Yuan Gong, why is this?" Are you leaving Xuzhou and going to Jiankang? ”

Monk Yuan's face became serious, "What I said just now is indeed the true words of the old man. This Xuzhou will definitely be constantly attacked by the Northern Wei Dynasty, the old man is already seventy and two, and he doesn't want to spend the rest of his life in the constant struggle with the Wei army, so he wants to enjoy himself for a few more years, and finally die on his own bed. But ......"

Yuan Fa Monk changed his words, "The old man doesn't want to end up with a rabbit and a dead dog!" Zhu Gong's status in the Great Liang Dynasty is also heard of, if Zhu Gong can vouch for the old man and achieve this wish, he will definitely be rewarded to Zhu Gong! ”

"Good!" Zhu Yi put on an oath, "Yuan Gong is so well aware of righteousness, how can Zhu not help with all his might." When the army received by my Daliang arrives, Yuan Gong can return to Jiankang with Zhu, and Zhu will show His Majesty Yuan Gong's intentions, and he will ensure that you are prosperous and rich, and spend the rest of your life in peace! ”

"Do you dare to swear?" Monk Yuan asked eagerly.

"Why don't you dare!" Zhu Yi was confident, he knew that with the character of Emperor Liang, as long as the Yuan monk willingly went back with him, he would definitely not cause harm, but would reward him with gifts to show the world His Majesty's benevolence.

The unexpected joy hit his heart strongly - Xuzhou's first merit, and I Zhu Yi won it!

Two days after Zhu Yi arrived in Pengcheng, the army led by King Ye also came outside the city.

But at the same time, the monk Yuan received a military report that the Wei army was about to enter the city.

"It's better to let the Liang army and the Wei army fight first, and let's take a look at the reality of the two sides." Won Kyung-joong suggested to his father.

"Who led the Wei army?" Yuan Dharma Monk asked.

"It is reported that it is Anle Wang Yuanjian." Yuan Jingzhong replied.

"Liang Jun is the leader of Yuanshu, hehe, it seems that they are all relatives of the Yuan family, and they are going to fight in the same room." Yuan Fa Monk grinned, "Yuan Shu, this guy, when he was still in Great Wei before, he always despised the old man, you go and give an order, let the Liang army camp outside the city, and when the Wei army comes, let them go to meet it first." ”

The Liang army followed the order and began to set up camp outside the southern city, completely unaware that the Wei army was quietly approaching.

Yuan Jian got the report of Tanma, of course he understood that such a good opportunity, how could he miss it!

Immediately made a decision - Yuan Jian dispatched all the cavalry in the 30,000 army, a total of 8,000 cavalry, and personally led it to raid the Liang army!

When Yuanjian's iron cavalry rushed to the south of Pengcheng, the camp of the Liang army had not yet been completely set up, and it was a mess, which could be said to be completely defenseless.

This is a great time to show off the assault ability of the Great Wei Iron Cavalry! Yuan Jian immediately gave the order for an assault.

When the Xuzhou soldiers on the city wall found that the Wei army was killing and issued an alarm to the Liang army, what caught the eyes of the panicked Liang army was the dense cavalry holding a long lance wrapped in flying rolling dust, shaking the ground shaking under their feet, and murderously rushing towards themselves!

There was no time to organize an effective defense, and the cavalry had already rushed into the Liang army - led by heavy cavalry equipped with a thousand armor, they were like fierce beasts of steel, and they crashed head-on into the flesh and blood of the Liang army, in front of their iron hooves and spears, the flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the screams and wails were endless......

The heavy cavalry burst through the gap, and the rest of the cavalry quickly split into several groups, like tentacles overflowing with the breath of death, scattered among the Liang army, leaving only countless corpses with severed limbs and broken arms, and a stream formed by the collection of blood......

In the face of the thunderous raid of the Wei army, the Liang army was taken by surprise, and its morale had collapsed, and it was powerless to fight back. They were a flock of panicked sheep, unable to do anything but wail and flee under the fangs and claws of the tigers.

This has become a one-sided killing - 20,000 Liang troops, like straw harvested by a sickle, fell in a pool of blood one after another, even the Xuzhou soldiers who watched the battle on the city wall, in the face of such a scene, they could not help but tremble, and even some soldiers couldn't stand the strong bloody gas that rushed up, and began to vomit violently.

Yuan Fa Seng and Zhu Yi got the news at this time, and they also hurriedly climbed the city wall to watch the battle.

But the sight in front of them immediately plunged them into despair. Zhu Yi has always been pampered, where has he ever seen such a bloody scene, his whole body was weak, he collapsed on the ground, shaking non-stop, and muttered in his mouth, "It's over...... It's over......"

Yuan Dharma Monk never expected that the war would evolve like this. Originally, he also hoped that Liang Jun and Wei Jun would kill each other, and he would be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman, and then leave Xuzhou with peace of mind, but now it seems that he is afraid that he will not be able to leave......

Just when the monk beat his chest, Ye Wang Yuanshu fled to the city gate with thousands of remnants of the defeated army, shouting loudly, begging to open the city gate so that they could enter the city.

Monk Yuan looked at Yuan Shu, hesitated again and again, and finally gave the order to open the door and let them in.

Yuanshu fled into the city, and the Liang army outside the city was even more leaderless, and the only thing they could do was to flee for their lives in all directions; But where can the feet run over the four hooves, the Wei army is not merciless, and pursues and kills vigorously, and outside the south of Pengcheng, corpses are everywhere......

Yuan Shu entered the city and met with Yuan Fa Monk and Zhu Yi.

The three of them were all shocked, and even the salute was trembling.

"His Royal Highness King Ye, why do you ...... Why did you lose...... So...... Miserable, huh? Zhu Yi couldn't speak well, and asked vaguely.

"The Wei army took advantage of our unpreparedness and attacked suddenly; I didn't expect it to come so quickly......" King Ye replied as he gasped.

"How many people do you have left?" Zhu Yi asked again.

"There are probably three or four thousand people who fled into the city with me......

"Of the 20,000 troops, there are only three or four thousand left?" Zhu Yi asked in a crying voice, "Is this ...... How good is that? ”

"Now, we can still hold on to the city." Monk Yuan grabbed Zhu Yi's sleeve in a panic and pleaded eagerly, "Gong Zhu, quickly write a letter asking for help, please send troops to relieve the siege of Pengcheng!" ”

"Pengcheng to Jiankang, this time and again, I'm afraid that far water can't quench the thirst of the near......" Yuanshu lowered his head and sighed.

"That'...... Are we just going to sit back and wait? Monk Yuan sat on the ground with his buttocks slumped, his eyes full of despair.

"Motoki! You incompetent, 20,000 troops, you are about to collapse at the touch of a button, and you will lose your troops! Zhu Yi was in a hurry, and couldn't help gritting his teeth and reprimanding Yuan Shu loudly, "Such a big defeat, I see how you explain it to Your Majesty!" ”

In the face of Zhu Yi's angry rebuke, Yuanshu knew that he was at a loss, so he could only swallow his anger.

"What to do? What should I do......" Zhu Yi was like an ant on a hot pot, constantly spinning, and his whole body was full of restlessness.

"Actually......" Yuanshu whispered to Zhu Yi, "behind our army, there is a group of soldiers and horses led by General Chen." ”

When Zhu Yi heard Yuanshu say this, he stopped spinning. He squinted at Yuanshu and muttered, "Yes, I forgot, Ziyun is still leading the army to follow behind......

Hearing that there were reinforcements behind him, the monk Yuan who was paralyzed on the ground also came to his senses, like grabbing a life-saving straw, he got up with a bone, and asked with bright eyes, "Great, we have been saved, how many reinforcements are there?" ”

Zhu Yi looked at the excited expression on the face of the Yuan monk, and silently turned his face away.

Yuan Shu said hesitantly, "There is also General Chen leading an army ...... behind."

"How many soldiers and horses are there?" Monk Yuan asked expectantly.

"Two Thousand ......"

Yuan Shu's words were like giving Yuan Fa Monk a slap on the head, and he collapsed on the ground again.

"Two thousand...... It's not enough to stuff Wei Jun's teeth......" Yuan Dharma muttered to himself in despair.

"We can only hope for Ziyun......" Zhu Yi lamented, "At this moment, I expect him to be really a peerless general......
