Chapter 156: Choice

"The soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, Liu Biao shouldn't understand this truth, why did he send troops so quickly?" Li Yan's face was puzzled.

Su Zhe sneered: "Who knows, maybe Liu Biao was so humiliated by me and became angry, or maybe they didn't take me seriously, thinking that they could quickly destroy me." ”

Li Yan nodded: "The lord is reasonable, if Liu Biao comes with enough grain and grass, we may still be a little jealous, now he is eager to send troops, he must only bring a few days of grain and grass, as long as we consume until he runs out of food, we will win this battle." ”

Su Zhe also smiled: "Fortunately, we have thought it through, and we have been secretly reinforcing the defense of Xinye City in advance, so let's let Liu Biao taste the taste of the city under the broken halberd in Xinye City." ”

At that moment, Su Zhe issued an order, ordering Li Yan to order the troops to prepare to meet the enemy, and ordered someone to inform Gan Ning that once the grain and grass were escorted back to Wancheng, he would immediately return to the division and come to Xinye to rendezvous.

"Liu Biao, the pastor of Yizhou, should not take action in person, I don't know who will lead the enemy?" Su Zhe asked again.

Hu Che'er arched his hand and said: "My lord, the commander of the Jingzhou Army is Cai Mao's house." ”

Cai Mao......

There was a trace of contempt in Su Zhe's eyes, if it was Wen Ping, Huang Zhong and other generals to lead the army, or even Huang Zu to lead the army, Su Zhe might still be afraid of three points, and when he heard that it was Cai Mao who commanded the army, he was relieved.

Suddenly, he thought of Cai Shu, and couldn't help but frown slightly.

Although Cai Shu did not hesitate to break with the family for herself, Cai Mao is her uncle after all, the so-called blood is thicker than water, and now she wants to fight her uncle to the death, and I don't know how she will feel.

Thinking of this, Su Zhe immediately went down to the city and rode straight to the county capital.

Entering the county mansion, I walked into the attic room in the backyard, but I saw Cai Shu sitting there idly, embroidering something, even being a female celebrity, she didn't purse her lips and smile.

"What are you doing, smiling so happily." Su Zhe didn't say hello and walked in with a smile.

Cai Shu was startled, hurriedly hid the embroidery in her hand behind her, and pouted and complained: "Why don't you come in and say a word, it's like a ghost, scared to death." ”

"I saw you embroidering, so I didn't bother you." Su Zhe glanced behind her and said curiously, "What are you embroidering, let me see." ”

"There's nothing embroidered, there's nothing to see." A hint of blush appeared on Cai Shu's face, and she looked a little shy.

Su Zhe's eyes rolled, and he suddenly pointed in the direction of the window and shouted, "There is a thief."

"There are thieves, where? Where? Cai Shu was taken aback and turned her head to look at it anxiously.

Su Zhe smiled, took advantage of her distraction, reached out to the back of her waist, and touched the hidden embroidery.

It's a sachet.

And there is also an embroidered word "Zhe" on it, which is undoubtedly embroidered for him.

"So you're embroidering a sachet for me." Su Zhe raised his hand.

Cai Shu reacted at this time, her little face suddenly flushed, and she complained angrily: "Okay, you are so cunning, you actually lied to me, give it back to me." ”

"It's something to give me anyway, I'll see if there's anything wrong." Su Zhe deliberately teased her and held it high so that she couldn't grab it.

"Who said it was embroidered for you?" Cai Shu didn't admit it, and jumped up and down to get it back.

Su Zhe pointed to the words on it and said with a smile: "There is my 'Zhe' character on it, it is not embroidered for me, who else can it be." ”

In this way, Cai Shu has no way to deny it.

She starry eyes, and she didn't grab it anymore, and suddenly reached out and pinched Su Zhe's arm fiercely.

"Ouch, it hurts! Hurt! Let go. Su Zhe didn't expect her to come to the "trick", he was caught off guard, and he grinned when he was pinched.

Cai Shu pinched even harder, and said proudly: "If you don't give it back to me, you won't give it back." ”

"Here, I can't give it, take it." Su Zhe hurriedly stretched out his hand and threw the sachet back to her.

Cai Shu took it, then let go, and immediately hid behind him again, no longer showing it to him.

Su Zhe pretended to be bitter, covered his arms, and muttered complaints.

Cai Shu couldn't help but apologize again, stepped forward and gently rubbed it for him, and muttered: "Who asked you to rob me of something, when I finish embroidering, I will naturally give it to you, what are you anxious about, does it hurt or not." ”

She has a daughter's family, how much strength can she have, Su Zhe is just deliberately pretending to be in pain and teasing her.

Seeing her distressed look, Su Zhe couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, and felt that this wayward eldest lady also had a careful and gentle side.

"Okay, I don't hurt anymore." Su Zhe's tone suddenly became serious.

Cai Shu saw him like this, but became uneasy, and said: "You are not sitting in the city, and you suddenly come to see me, do you have something to say to me." ”

"Liu Biao has sent troops, and the commander is your uncle Cai Mao."

Cai Shu was silent, her starry eyes gradually dimmed, her eyes changed uncertainly, and it could be seen that she was still in a very complicated mood about the upcoming confrontation between Su Zhe and her uncle.

"If you kill and capture my uncle alive, what will you do to him?" Cai Shu raised her head and looked at him and asked.

Su Zhe didn't answer, but asked rhetorically: "If I lose and Cai Mao captures me alive, do you think he will treat me." ”

Cai Shu's body trembled and fell silent again.

Of course she knew that Cai Mao and they couldn't wait to break Su Zhe's body into pieces, this time she not only stabbed Liu Qi, but also eloped with Su Zhe, losing Cai Mao's face, and making Liu Biao also suffer a huge shame, Cai Mao was afraid that even she would not let her go, and how could she let Su Zhe live.

"Between me and Liu Biao, and your uncle, it is a war where you either die or I live, this war is related to the life and death of thousands of people, and personal emotions are really insignificant......"

Su Zhe sighed with emotion and told Cai Shu his answer euphemistically.

Cai Shu's heart was shocked, and she couldn't help but recall the scene when Cai Mao forced him to marry Liu Qi.

In Cai Mao's eyes, her emotions are insignificant at all, and everything must be subordinated to the so-called family interests.

It's the same as this war.

After being silent for a long time, the sadness in Cai Shu's eyes faded, she took a light breath and said lightly: "I have made a choice between my family and you from the moment I stabbed Liu Qi, what do you want, just let it go out and do it, don't care about my feelings." ”

Su Zhe's heart was moved again, and he was moved by Cai Shu's affection again, so he hugged her into his arms, just hugged her, and everything was silent.

Cai Shu also wrapped her arms around Su Zhe's waist, her face pressed tightly against his chest, and a little rare relief appeared on her pretty face.

The mood gradually calmed down, Su Zhe suddenly remembered something, and praised it: "Seriously, you are really ruthless, you even stabbed that Liu Qi, and he is unlucky, fortunately the person you like is me, otherwise maybe I will be the one who was stabbed." ”

"Hmph, if you dare to treat me badly in the future, I will definitely stab you, you can be careful." Cai Shu snorted, and made a prickly gesture with her palm.

Su Zhe shuddered and couldn't help sighing: "It seems that in order to survive, I can't treat you badly in the future." ”

"You're smart." Cai Shu smiled proudly.

"I'm still curious, where did you stab Liu Qi with that knife?"

"This, why are you asking so much, anyway, I'm just stabbing him."

"Where's the stab on him?"

"I forgot."

"I'll go, I can forget it!"

"What do you mean I'm going?"

"Oh, well, let's talk about something else."

……

Two days later, the 40,000 Jingzhou army arrived in the south of Xinye City and forced the city to be subordinated.

The camp was completed, and in the afternoon of the same day, the sound of gongs and assemblies in the Jingzhou camp resounded throughout the camp.

Cai Mao gave an order, and 40,000 Jingzhou troops went out and assembled towards the south gate of Xinye.

In a short time, the 40,000 Jingzhou troops had completed the formation, and they were mighty, forming a threatening trend.

In front of the Le Ma formation, Cai Mao raised his head and looked into the distance, and the hateful banner of the word "Su" was dangling in front of him.

When Xinye Castle heard this, he vaguely heard the sound of the warning gong, and saw thousands of Soviet troops hurriedly climbing the city wall and sweeping away, the number of which was about 2,000.

"Sure enough, as I expected, the Su thief thought that he had robbed me of the grain and grass in Fancheng, and we couldn't send troops immediately, but I never expected that I would lead the army to kill me so soon, but I only left two thousand soldiers and horses in Xinye, hum."

Looking at the Soviet army at a disadvantage, the corners of Cai Mao's mouth rose slightly, and a mocking look rekindled on his face.

In my mind, in the battle a few days ago, Su Zhe suddenly attacked, killing him and fleeing, snatching her niece's humiliating picture, resurfaced in front of him.

The anger in his chest was ignited in an instant.

"Break Xinye first, then take Wancheng, behead Su Zhe as soon as possible, and go to the lord to make up for it......"

Taking a deep breath, Cai Mao slowly pulled out his sword, pointed fiercely at the south gate of Xinye, and shouted: "Pass my order, the whole army will attack, raze Xinye City to the ground, and kill all the traitors!" ”

Knock knock!

The order was issued, and the sound of the war drums of slaughter sounded like thunder, breaking the silence of the confrontation.

In the front military formation, the vanguard Wenpin raised his sword, rode out, and the Jingzhou army formations behind him, like black clouds, advanced towards the south gate of Xinye.

The Jingzhou Army began to attack, and the momentum was immense.

At the head of the south gate of Xinye, Su Zhe, who was wearing armor and holding a sword, stood quietly, facing the surging Jingzhou army, with no fear on his face, and no trace of waves in his eyes.

That confident and calm momentum is like an overwhelming enemy in front of him, in his eyes, he is just as vulnerable as a chicken, a tile and a dog.

"The lord is really like a god, Cai Mao thought that our main force was not in Xinye, and he was in a hurry to attack the city without waiting for a clear investigation, and he obviously didn't know the reality of our army." Li Yan sighed.

A sarcastic smile appeared on Su Zhe's young face, his face suddenly burst out proudly, he drew his sword, and said sharply: "Cai Mao is proud of his strong soldiers and horses, and he dares to underestimate us, you will fight side by side with me, let him taste what it is like to kick the iron plate!" ”

Along the left and right of the city, the blood of the soldiers was ignited in an instant, and the fighting spirit was great, and they clenched their swords and guns one after another, eager to fight.

A bloody battle is just around the corner.
