Chapter Fifty-Six: Out Again

"This Brother Song," Wei Xun clenched his fists and said to Song Jingxiu, "On the way here, I heard Yanran say that you have cleaned up Xu Jin well." Then I have to compete with you, Brother Song, don't shirk! ”

"What do you mean by tidying up...... Yanran, you're talking nonsense! Xu Jin was obviously in a hurry.

"Oh, Wei Xun, you too, what are you doing here?" Yan Ran pouted and said, "Shouldn't you do the right thing first?" ”

"Ahh Wei Xun looked suddenly enlightened, "Yes, yes, yes!" I almost got down to business! Wei Xun said eagerly to Song Jingxiu, "Brother Song, I'll tell Brother Ziyun about the business first, and you will definitely compete with me later!" ”

"Okay!" Song Jingxiu clasped his hands to his chest and said with a smile, "When you finish talking to Ziyun, I will definitely accompany you to fight!" ”

"Brother Song is refreshing!" Wei Xun clasped his fists at Song Jingxiu and praised him, and then turned to Chen Qingzhi.

"Brother Ziyun, you originally proposed to build a weir in Huaishui, but now it is the rainy season, and the weir in Huaishui has been completed. General Xiahou Kang has received His Majesty's order and is ready for battle. And the eldest brother was also awarded the title of General Zhenwei by His Majesty, and was ready to lead the army to support. ”

"Well, it seems that the battle on the front line of Shouyang has come to the final decisive battle." Chen Qingzhi nodded and said.

"And most importantly! His Majesty appointed Ye Wang Yuanshu as the general of Zhenbei and led the army to the front line of Shouyang, to join forces with Xiahou and besiege Shouyang. After King Ye received the order, he made a request to His Majesty! ”

"What requirements?" Chen Qingzhi asked curiously.

"Uh-huh...... Wei Xun pretended to clear his throat, and then deliberately said slowly, "King Ye said to Your Majesty, last time in Xuzhou, thanks to General Chen Qingzhi, so many of them can come back alive to see Your Majesty again, this expedition, I hope Your Majesty can still let General Chen Qingzhi follow his command." ”

"King Ye asked for war for us?" Hearing Wei Xun's words, Chen Qingzhi couldn't hide his excitement, and his eyes shone with joy.

"His Royal Highness King Ye is also a person of affection and righteousness." Yan Ran interjected, "When he came to visit me before, he often said that this life was saved by Brother Chen, and he always hoped to do something for Brother Chen to repay him. ”

"King Ye's kindness, Qingzhi must be remembered in his heart!" Chen Qing's heart was surging, he clasped his fists into the air with both hands, and said sonorously.

"So, I'm here today to inform everyone, hurry up and get ready, it is estimated that in just these two days, the paperwork for King Ye's transfer of troops will be back!" Wei Xun said proudly.

The news brought by Wei Xun made everyone excited, and they couldn't help but get up.

Wei Xun turned around abruptly and said to Song Jingxiu, "Brother Song, I'm done with business, I'm pressed for time, I have to rush back to Big Brother's army tomorrow, let's start the competition now!" ”

"But it's raining outside......"

"Isn't there a war when it's raining?" Wei Xun interrupted Song Jingxiu's words, and took the lead in walking out of the big tent and coming outside.

Song Jingxiu saw that Wei Xun's attitude was resolute, so he didn't postpone it anymore, he took out two wooden sticks for practice from the weapon rack in the tent, and also walked out of the big tent.

"I don't know what Brother Wei's usual weapon is?" Song Jingxiu asked.

"Snake spear! Brother Song, what about you? ”

"I'm using a saber." Song Jingxiu said, throwing a wooden stick to Wei Xun, "Let's use this instead." ”

In the drizzle, the two opened their stance.

Everyone else was watching the battle at the gate of the big tent. Before the fight started, Xu Jin shouted at Song Jingxiu a little nervously, "Brother Song, you can't show mercy to your subordinates, you still have to go all out like when you competed with me!" ”

Hearing Xu Jin's words, Wei Xun laughed, "Xu Jin, are you afraid that I will win Brother Song, or if it will be a tie, you can't hold it on your face, right?" ”

"Can you win Brother Song?" Xu Jin said-for-tat, "Just a few moments of yours, I'm afraid it's not enough to show Brother Song!" ”

"Don't worry!" Song Jingxiu spoke, "Since it is a contest, of course we should go all out, otherwise, it will not damage the reputation of the martial artists." ”

"Good!" Wei Xun and Xu Jin almost shouted in unison about Song Jingxiu's words.

"Don't keep drenching like this, let's get started!" Yu Tianshu shouted loudly.

Wei Xun took the lead in attacking, and the two immediately got entangled together.

The splash of water added to the fierceness of the competition.

Hui Ze leaned against Xu Jin beside him with his arm, "Look, Wei Xun's skills have grown a lot!" ”

"We haven't grown the same way, could it be that he is better than us?" Xu Jin replied disappreciatively.

"You are the same as Wei Xun," Hui Ze smiled helplessly and shook his head, "They are both competitive and do not admit defeat." ”

I don't know if Song Jingxiu did it on purpose, or because of his strength, in the process of coming and going with Wei Xun, Song Jingxiu picked up Wei Xun's wooden stick and won the battle, and the round used was almost the same as the original battle with Xu Jin.

Wei Xun was convinced, and said to Song Jingxiu, "Brother Song is amazing, Wei Xun is willing to bow down, I hope that there will be a chance in the future, and we can compete again!" ”

"Admit it, Brother Wei." Song Jingxiu responded with a smile and clenched his fists.

"Now it seems that at least Wei Xun is quite sensible." Hui Ze said to Xu Jin with a smile.

That night, Chen Qingzhi held a banquet in the big tent to entertain Wei Xun and Yanran.

The camp had not been so lively for a long time, and under the instruction of Chen Qingzhi, Chen Sibao distributed wine and meat to the soldiers. On this disturbing rainy night, the whole camp was very lively, and the laughter continued......

Early the next morning, Wei Xun and Yanran held oil paper umbrellas again and said goodbye and left. After Wei Xun sent Yanran back to Jiankang, he had to rush back to Wei Fang's army immediately.

After Wei let them go, Chen Qingzhi also immediately started and began to prepare for the battle.

Now these 5,000 people and horses have more grain and grass to carry, and Chen Sibao has already ordered dozens of baggage trucks, which will come in handy at this time.

The soldiers wiped their armor clean, repaired the damaged places, sharpened their swords and guns, and were ready to set off at any time.

Only two days later, King Ye's messenger came.

According to King Ye's instructions, Chen Qingzhi immediately gathered his soldiers and set off for Health to join King Ye's army.

When he arrived in Jiankang, King Ye's 20,000-strong army had been completed and was stationed outside the city, waiting for Chen Qingzhi's arrival.

After Chen Qingzhi led the army to King Ye's camp, he immediately went to King Ye's military tent to resume his life.

King Ye was sitting upright in the tent, and when he saw Chen Qingzhi coming, he hurriedly got up to greet him.

After the two greeted each other, King Ye said, "On this expedition, Xiao Wang is going to have General Lao Chen again." ”

"What did His Royal Highness King Ye say, and I would like to thank you for asking for my life in front of Your Majesty." Chen Qingzhi sincerely thanked.

"It is an honor for Xiao Wang to be able to walk with General Chen. Besides, with General Chen here, Xiao Wang's heart is also steady. ”

"Thank you for the attention of His Royal Highness King Ye, and I will do my best to help King Ye return to the dynasty with victory!"

"Okay, okay, with General Chen's words, Xiao Wang has no worries."

"I don't know what the current situation is in Shouyang?" After a polite exchange, Chen Qingzhi began to inquire about the situation on the battlefield.

"The method of building the weir was a great success! In the rainy season, the Huai water rose sharply, and now the entire Shouyang City is almost flooded. According to the information that came back, Shouyang has run out of food, and some people even cannibalize their children......"

"In every war, it is always the people who suffer the most...... Chen Qingzhi couldn't help but sigh in a low voice when he heard this.

"There is no way to do this, who let us be born in troubled times...... King Ye also sighed, "But now General Xiahou Kang is already leading the army to dredge the clear stream, and when the stagnant water recedes, he will join our army to surround Shouyang." Therefore, we must rush to the front line in Shouyang as soon as possible. ”

"Is there no movement on the Northern Wei side?" Chen Qingzhi continued to ask.

"Now it is Li Xian, who is guarding Shouyang, and he will definitely ask the court for help. But now the area around Shouyang has become a vast ocean, and even if the Wei army wants to rescue, their war horses cannot gallop on the water. ”

"Well, the northerners are not accustomed to water warfare, and this is the advantage of our army. But Shouyang is also an important place, and the Wei army will never sit idly by. ”

"Your Majesty should have considered it, so he sent General Wei Fang to lead the army and go to help General Xiahou Kang, which shows that Your Majesty is bound to win Shouyang this time."

"If nothing else, we will definitely be able to win Shouyang this time!"

"Okay, then we'll leave early tomorrow morning and rush over as soon as possible so as not to delay the fighter."

After a night's rest, in the hazy smoke and rain of the early morning, King Ye and Chen Qingzhi led the army and drove in the direction of Shouyang.

At the same time, Wei Fang, with Wei Xun and his own troops, was also marching towards Shouyang.

And now Shouyang is a country. The rainy season brings not only graceful beauty and melancholy, but also unspeakable waterlogging.

Within a radius of dozens of miles, no matter the houses, fields, livestock, poultry, even the elderly, the weak, women and children, were all flooded by the merciless waterlogging, and the rain that disturbed the sky still fell without a trace of mercy......

Swollen bodies of blistering bodies floated everywhere on the water, both domestic and human......

It's a water hell!

Xiahou Kang commanded his soldiers, and was dredging the clear stream and the large and small rivers in this area day and night. They want to rush to release the flooded Shouyang, and then take it in one fell swoop.

And Liang Jun didn't dare to be careless at all, everyone knew that after such a flood, it would be easy for a plague to occur. Xiahou set up a cauldron on the position of the Liang army and boiled the medicinal soup to drive away the plague, not only the soldiers wanted to drink it, but the nearby people were also required to come to receive the medicinal soup every day.

What Daliang needs is a Shouyang for governance, not a dead land.

Xiahou Kang also had to make sure that before taking Shouyang, his soldiers would not fall on the disease.

In the face of the aggressiveness of the Liang army, the Northern Wei Dynasty did not sit still, they dispatched troops, prepared to send troops, and waited for the Liang army to drain the waterlogging, and then waved their troops to aid Shouyang.

Several armies converged towards the same goal.

In this year's rainy season, a bloody battle is about to start here, and I don't know how many soldiers will be buried here......
