Although Lu Shiheng gave the order, his soldiers still hesitated and did not obey Lu Shiheng's order, seeing that Han Shizhong was about to catch up, Lu Shiheng could only be anxious.

"Hahaha, you have no way out, why don't you surrender together? Stop making senseless resistance! ”

At this time, Han Shizhong had already chased after him, and looking at Zhou Jun who was like a frightened bird, he said with good words.

"No...... Yes...... Fall...... Swear not to surrender ......," Lu Shiheng ordered as he struggled again.

At this moment, suddenly there was a shout of killing, and then someone was heard shouting: "The enemy has been tricked, kill quickly!" ”

I only saw the sound of many arrows breaking through the air, Han Shizhong's face changed, and he saw the flags waving all around, and all kinds of shouts and killings came one after another, Han Shizhong shouted: "It's not good, it's a trick!" ”

Han Shizhong immediately ordered a retreat, but at this time, he saw a female general rushing over from the side, and a big knife in his hand took Han Shizhong directly, how could Han Shizhong be afraid of her, and with a shot back, the two of them collided together.

"What a handsome knife technique!"

Han Shizhong sighed sincerely, but he didn't panic at all, and continued to fight with the future general for a few more rounds.

"Drop! Mu Guiying's skill is detected to be triggered - when she fights, her own strength +4, and if she encounters a very critical situation, she will increase it by an additional 1-2 points. Affected by the women's skills, Mu Guiying's strength is +4, the weapon Fluttering Pear Flower Knife is +1, the mount is stepping on the cloud peach blossom horse force +1, and the current Mu Guiying's strength has been increased to 104."

Han Shizhong found that his marksmanship was really inferior to the woman in front of him, and saw that there was smoke and dust not far away, as if another army was coming, Han Shizhong didn't dare to fight, and swept away Mu Guiying's pear flower gun with one shot, turned around and left.

Mu Guiying didn't give up, and shouted loudly behind Han Shizhong: "The thief will leave, leaving the head!" ”

Ignoring the fact that Mu Guiying had just chased more than a dozen steps, he immediately turned his horse's head and retreated.

Han Shizhong fled for a while, and saw that Mu Guiying's army did not chase after him, and at this time, he suddenly realized that there was something wrong.

Since Mu Guiying surrounded him, why didn't he chase after him when he saw a burst of random arrows? Why are there so many flags waving and shouting around, but there are very few soldiers rushing out? Why is the equipment of this ambush army so far from Wu Liren's army?

After thinking of these doubts, Han Shizhong suddenly reacted, and sighed regretfully: "It must be a bluff, I really fell into a trick!" ”

Indeed, there were only about 1,000 bandits in Mu Guiying's hands, so when she heard that Han Shizhong had broken through Huang County overnight, she had no way to implement the original plan, so she had to think of this emergency plan and save Lu Shiheng's defeated army.

Han Shizhong still wanted to chase again, but now he didn't know where Mu Guiying and the others had fled, and if he continued to chase, he was likely to encounter other garrisons, so he didn't dare to be careless, so he had to withdraw his troops and return to Huangxian first.

At this time, after Lu Shiheng was rescued by Mu Guiying, they rushed to nearby Qucheng County together. On the way, Lu Shiheng finally learned that the person who came to save him turned out to be a bandit on the nearby Yangqiu Mountain. And before, he was also going to encircle and suppress this group of bandits.

And beside Mu Guiying, the leader of the bandits, wasn't it Ji Xiaolan who had reported to him before?

Lu Shiheng understood now, and he also felt deeply sorry for Ji Xiaolan.

Mr. Ji...... It's all ...... Lu didn't listen to you, and ended up where he is now, it's really ...... Ashamed! ”

After speaking, Lu Shiheng couldn't help but cough a few more times.

Mu Guiying urged impatiently: "General Lu, the key issue now is how to retreat from the enemy, and it is useless to talk about anything else!" ”

"I have already sent someone to the plains to beg General Xue Li to send troops to rescue!"

Ji Xiaolan on the side shook his head and said: "Although General Xue can send troops to rescue, but now that the plain has just been captured, if he returns to the army to save him at this time, won't the plain fall into the hands of the enemy again?" Moreover, if you want to recapture Huangxian, it may not be available if there are fewer people, which is definitely not the best policy. ”

Lu Shiheng thought for a while, and then nodded convincingly, "Mr. Ji is talented, Lu didn't expect it, then I'll let people go to Xiapi to ask the lord to come to help!" ”

Mu Guiying smiled and said, "By the time General Lu goes to ask for help, I'm afraid that the entire Donglai County has already fallen into the hands of the enemy!" Ten days ago, Mr. Ji had already sent someone to Xiapi to report the news, and it should have almost arrived at this time! ”

Xiapi.

The person sent by Mu Guiying this time was Zhang Qing, the vegetable gardener, Zhang Qing came to Xiapi, and he didn't know who to look for, so he had a plan and came directly to the Xiapi County Ya, claiming that he wanted to report the case.

When Liu Yong heard that someone had reported the case, he naturally didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly ascended to the hall, looking at Zhang Qing who was kneeling, Liu Yong shouted loudly: "What grievances do the people in the hall have, come quickly!" ”

Zhang Qing took out the letter written by Ji Xiaolan from his arms, held it up, and shouted loudly: "The grass people have a copy of the paper, please take a look at it!" ”

Liu Yong asked people to take it, opened it and looked at it, and couldn't help but change his face, slapped the wood in shock, and shouted: "Dare to trick the people, dare to play tricks on me!" ”

Zhang Qing hurriedly denied: "The grass people don't dare! The grass people came from Qingzhou and were entrusted by a gentleman to report confidential matters! However, the grass people are not familiar with the place, and they don't know where to go to hand over this secret letter to King Zhou, so they can only risk death to hand it over to the master! ”

Liu Yong knew that there was something strange about this, so it was not good to deny it directly, after all, the letter also said that Ji Xiaolan had reported to General Donglai, but Lu Shiheng didn't take it to heart.

"If it is as stated in the letter, this official will naturally not punish you! The matter is urgent, I will take you to see King Zhou! ”

When Wu Liren saw the secret letter handed over by Liu Yong, he couldn't help but be shocked, and at this time he knew that Han Shizhong's previous explosive skill was actually attacking Donglai.

Wu Liren looked at Zhang Qing, because he had already seen that the signature of the secret letter was Ji Yun, and he naturally knew this Ji Xiaolan.

"Strongman, what's your name? What is the relationship between you and Ji Yun? Why did you deliver the letter on his behalf? ”

Zhang Qing didn't dare to look at Wu Liren directly, lowered his head and hurriedly replied: "King Zhou is above, and the grass people are Zhang Qing, in fact, I actually met Mr. Ji by chance, and Mr. Ji was not good at riding horses, so the grass people came to deliver the letter for him." ”

Hearing Zhang Qing's words, Wu Liren hurriedly tested this Zhang Qing's attributes.

"It was detected that Zhang Qing's four-dimensional attributes were 75 in force, 41 in command, 62 in intelligence, and 32 in politics.

It turned out to be Zhang Qing of the vegetable garden, and Sun Erniang's implantation identity was Mu Guiying's subordinate, so it seems that the three people who were born recently all appeared and converged at once, and the Mu Guiying triggered the skill prompted by the system before, that is, Mu Guiying and Han Shizhong were right?

Wu Liren now connected everything at once, and he now guessed that Lu Shiheng must not be Han Shizhong's opponent, and Mu Guiying was only a thief, let alone Han Shizhong and Liang Hongyu's opponent.

Wu Liren hurriedly summoned Jia Xu, Xun You, Chen Jinnan, Wang Shouren and others in the city to discuss the strategy of sending troops to retreat from the enemy.

"If Gongsun Du really sent troops across the sea to attack, then he really killed himself! The subordinates are not talented, and they are willing to raise 10,000 troops to retreat from the Liaodong army! ”

Wang Shouren immediately walked out and asked for his life.

"Actually, this king wants to go to Donglai in person to conquer the Liaodong Army!"

Wu Liren said what he meant, and several strategists were a little incomprehensible, and Chen Jinnan even directly admonished: "King Zhou is the body of a daughter, don't take it lightly!" Before rescuing Puyang, it was full of dangers, and now I have to go to Donglai again, and my subordinates ask King Zhou to put the great cause first, and don't put yourself in danger again! ”

The reason why Wu Liren wanted to go to the crusade was because he admired Han Shizhong and his wife very much, and since they were sent to the door now, Wu Liren naturally wanted to keep them and finally take them for his own use. So he didn't feel comfortable letting anyone else go.

Although Chen Jinnan's words are reasonable, Wu Liren knows in his heart, this Han Shizhong doesn't seem to have any powerful generals, as long as Wu Liren casually brings one or two fierce generals, there will be no problems. Besides, Wu Liren's current state, it is not a problem to single out Han Shizhong.

Li Yuanba, but there is only one.

"This king knows in his heart that there will be no danger this time, but I heard that the general who besieged the city is quite capable, so this king wants to go and personally take it for his own use, so he wants to go to Donglai in person."

Xun You pinched the secret letter in his hand and asked puzzledly: "This letter does not say who the Lord will be, so what is his ability?" How did King Zhou find out? ”

Wu Liren laughed and said: "It was said by the person who just sent the letter, and this king has indeed heard of his name before, so he knows it." ”

Hearing that Wu Liren wanted to collect talents, Chen Jinnan couldn't say anything more, Wang Shouren smiled and said: "Since King Zhou has such an idea, then his subordinates are willing to go with King Zhou to meet this general who can let King Zhou go to collect it in person." ”

In the battle of Puyang, Wu Liren's Shenwei army lost more than half, so this time Wu Liren only brought 3,000 Shenwei troops, and at the same time 10,000 iron-blooded troops, let Pei Yuanqing, Evil Lai and Gao Siji follow the three generals, and at the same time the strategists brought Xun You and Wang Shouren. And Gao Gao, Yuwen Chengdu and others still continue to recuperate. At the same time, Shangguan Wan'er Bi Sheng and others were instructed to prepare another Da Zhou Times, focusing on denouncing the "aggressive behavior" of Gongsun Du of Liaodong, but this newspaper would not be published until a few days after Wu Liren sent troops.

At this time, after Han Shizhong rectified in Huangxian for two days, he sent spies to investigate the garrison situation in the nearby county, and then captured Dongmu, Muping, Changyang and other counties with lightning speed, and after stabilizing the coastal line, he redirected his troops to Qucheng County, where Mu Guiying and others were stationed.

At this time, Lu Shiheng was seriously injured, and he saw that Mu Guiying and Ji Xiaolan were both very capable, so he handed over the people guarding the city to the two of them. Mu Guiying arranged the city defenses while letting people explore Wu Liren's reinforcements; And Ji Xiaolan began to write a notice to calm the people, so that the people should not panic, and it was best to defend the city with the soldiers in the city.

At this time, Han Shizhong's army had already come to Qucheng County, and he looked at the soldiers in the city to know how stupid it was to be scared away by Mu Guiying, but he also saw that Mu Guiying was not an idle person. After some inquiry, I learned that this Mu Guiying was actually born as a bandit, and the bandits under him were trained like soldiers in the army, so Mu Guiying was by no means an idle person. For a while, Han Shizhong actually had a heart of love for talent, so he hit his horse and came to the city, and shouted to the guards in the city: "Please come out and answer the Lord Mu Zhai!" ”

Mu Guiying came to the city wall and said to Han Shizhong under the city: "If General Han wants to attack the city, attack it!" I don't have anything to say to you! ”

Han Shizhong laughed and said: "Master Mu Zhai, you were originally a grass on Yangqiu Mountain, why did you suddenly go to Wu Ming to give your life?" You have such skills, Wu Ming can't use them, why don't you come to vote for my king, when the time comes, Han will inevitably recommend it to the king, and he will definitely be reused at that time, not to mention being treated like this here? Besides, this Qucheng county is small, and your soldiers and horses are insufficient, how can you stop my army of 10,000? Therefore, for the sake of the future of the lord of Mu Zhai and his brothers, it is better to open the city and surrender, than to burn the jade after the city is broken. ”

After listening to this, Mu Guiying couldn't help but laugh and said: "General Han must also be a person who knows the times, look at the princes of the world, the king of Zhou monopolizes the land of the five states, and the name of benevolence is written in the four seas, although he is a bandit, he also wants to invest for a long time!" And Liaodong Gongsun Du, how can he de, the self-proclaimed king of Liaodong is already very bold, and he dares to cross the sea to invade Qingzhou, which is simply self-defeating! I advise you to vote for King Zhou as soon as possible, so as not to follow such an unkind and unwise lord, why should General Han follow it. It's better to join King Zhou with me as soon as possible, this is the right way, how so? ”

Han Shizhong didn't expect Mu Guiying to be so eloquent, and at this time, he even let himself surrender. However, Han Shizhong was not angry, and this result was also expected by him.

"Okay, Lord Mu Zhai, since you say so, then let's divide the battlefield into two ranks!"

After speaking, Han Shizhong waved his hand and shouted: "Siege!" ”

The Liaodong Army immediately launched an attack with Han Shizhong's order, although Han Shizhong did not attack in person, but he supervised the battle by his side. Although Qucheng County was arranged by Mu Guiying, it was still only a small city, and Han Shizhong was confident that it would be captured within three days.

The first day of the attack was over, Mu Guiying looked at the battlefield filled with gunpowder smoke and the many wounded soldiers under him, and began to worry a little about how long he couldn't hold it.

At this time, Sun Erniang came over and said to Mu Guiying: "Owner of the village, in my opinion, if this Qucheng County can't be defended, it won't be guarded, let's go back to our Yangqiu Mountain and have a good time!" Until now, Wu Ming has not sent reinforcements, and eighty percent of them have given up! If we hold on any longer, the casualties of our brothers will be too great! ”

Hearing this, Mu Guiying suddenly realized a problem, and couldn't help but suddenly become happy, and said with a smile: "What Leader Sun said is so right!" There's no need to defend here, pass the order, and the army will withdraw from Qucheng tonight! ”
