But he won the bet, thanks to the escaped general Zhou Zihao. Zhou Zihao was bent on escaping for his life, and ran to Fenglei Town with his head bored, not to mention sending people to the queen of the palace, and he didn't even think about sending a scout horse to the eastern front to deliver the news. Since Zhou Zihao did not send someone to inform the main force of the Eastern Front, he had withdrawn, which directly led to the success of Pang He's child's play. All the departments of the Eastern Front knew that Zhou Zihao's soldiers and horses had been in contact with the main force of the Western Front of the Dingguo Army, although they also sent probes, but it was difficult for these probes to break through the blockade of Yang Zhi's army, even if they broke through the past, they could not observe the battlefield at close range, and no probe horses would be stupid enough to run into the battlefield to see whether the personnel on both sides were true or false, whether they were really dead or fake, if they did that, they would go to ten spies, and they would have to die five pairs. The Eastern Front Tanma kept sending back news, and the news was very consistent, that is, Zhou Zihao's troops resisted to the death, and the fierce battle with the Dingguo Army was in full swing. As soon as they heard that the main force of the Dingguo Army on the Western Front was entangled, the rebel troops on the Eastern Front immediately accelerated the speed of advancing westward, and at the same time, Wu Liang's troops also began to advance from the west to the south, wanting to completely block the road for the Dingguo Army to retreat north.

Tens of thousands of Chai's army gathered in the direction of Fenglei Town in several ways, with a very obvious intention, that is, to take advantage of the delay of Zhou Zihao's troops to encircle on all sides and completely annihilate the main army of the national army on the west road. Chai Yonghao was somewhat puzzled, what kind of person Zhou Zihao was, he knew a little bit, the Queen Mother recruited this cousin into the palace, mainly to use Zhou Zihao to gag other people's mouths, and at the same time win the strong support of the Zhou family. As for Zhou Zihao, the Queen Mother's evaluation of this person is that he is a gentleman, and he can't support the mud on the wall, why does such a person have a bit of courage today? With doubts, Chai Yonghao had to rush to the place of the accident as quickly as possible, at this time several spies rushed to the horse, one of them did not wait for the horse to stop, turned over and landed on the ground, and said, "General, the front soldiers and horses of our department were blocked by Yang Zhi's department, and suffered heavy losses, General Xu asked the general to send reinforcements quickly." ”

Xu Yongning's 4,000 vanguard soldiers and horses had to retreat after being attacked head-on by Yang Zhi's troops, but Xu Yongning's defeat also made Chai Yonghao remove the doubts in his heart. I saw Chai Yonghao raise his eyebrows, and shouted loudly, "Sun Bolin, strictly order all departments to speed up, and in addition, send a message to Wu Liang, ordering Wu Liang to give up the detour and go straight to the rear of the thief army in the south, and be sure to cooperate with our department to encircle the thief soldiers as quickly as possible." ”

Chai Yonghao's appetite is very large, the opportunity is fleeting, if it is properly deployed, this battle can completely annihilate Pang He's main army on the Western Front, plus the main force of soldiers and horses besieged on the Eastern Front, the Dingguo Army will lose more than 40,000 elite soldiers and horses in a short period of time. How many people can be mobilized by the Dingguo Army now, and if it loses more than 40,000 people at once, the risk of forcibly crossing Fenglingdu will be much reduced. Originally, Wu Liang's task was to re-establish the northern defense line step by step, but due to Chai Yonghao's order, Wu Liang had to speed up the march and go directly to the south, and by this time, Pang He's plan had been considered a success. In particular, Yang Zhi's 8,000-strong army intercepted Xu Yongning's reinforcements from the east, and the two sides fought inextricably, and the battle intensified, directly attracting all the soldiers and horses of the Chai clan who were steadily advancing. At this time, the pressure on Yang Zhi was very great, not only to attract the enemy as much as possible, but also to minimize casualties, this battle was not easy to fight at all. Xu Yongning led his troops to retreat five miles, and the whole army retreated back to Fuping Town, Yang Zhi couldn't help but hesitate, so he could only send someone to ask Pang He to see what to do next.

Pang He lives on a high place, has been looking at the entire battlefield, Fan Wenyuan and Guan Sheng's soldiers and horses have "few left", this scene is good, but how much of a role it can play, Pang He did not count in his heart. In the final analysis, this scheme is too low-level, as long as Zhou Zihao and Chai Yonghao exchange news, this trick will be debunked immediately. I hope that the Chai family has not seen through the cats inside, da-da-da, the sound of horses' hooves came, and the spies who were sent to the periphery, and were responsible for monitoring the soldiers and horses of Chai Yonghao's headquarters finally rushed back, "Report, General Pang, Chai Yonghao's vanguard soldiers and horses have been engaged in battle with General Yang's department, and the main army of Chai Yonghao's middle road has accelerated its speed, and it is now only thirty miles away from our department." ”

Huh, Pang He, who had been worried for a long time, finally breathed a long sigh of relief, it was really shit luck, and he actually deceived Chai Yonghao, but the marching speed of Chai Yonghao's troops was a little faster. Before he could think about what to do next, the people sent by Yang Zhi had already arrived, "General Pang, our troops have repelled the vanguard of the rebels, and the enemy general Xu Yongning led his troops to retreat to Fuping Town, General Yang asked for an order, do you want to continue to hold back the vanguard of the thief army?" ”

Pang He did not answer immediately, but carefully calculated, judging from Chai Yonghao's marching speed, he wanted to encircle, with Chai Yonghao's ability, since he moved this kind of thought, I am afraid it is impossible not to consider the north, that is to say, Wu Liang's troops have also begun to run south, maybe it is not far from his own army now. After careful consideration, Pang He still felt that it was time to withdraw, and if he delayed any longer, he was afraid that he would be in danger of being besieged, but by doing so, the time to buy for the army on the Eastern Front would be shortened. I hope that Xiao Yue and Hu Yanzhuo can seize the opportunity and break out of the encirclement in one fell swoop, and he Pang will be able to do so much, "Order Yang Zhi to storm Fuping Town for half an hour, and immediately evacuate north after half an hour, and join up with my main force in Huxinzhai." In addition, after ordering Guan Sheng and Fan Wenyuan, cover the transfer of the army to the north, and all troops and horses immediately abandon Fenglei Town and retreat towards the western camp. ”

Pang He did not hesitate at all, and the order was conveyed, Guan Sheng and Fan Wenyuan immediately made a big banner to increase the pressure in the direction of Fenglei Town, and at the same time secretly ordered all the troops to retreat in turn, and at the same time did not forget to make more smoke and dust in the forest next to them, making a tragic scene of battle. After receiving Pang He's instructions, Yang Zhi immediately ordered a fierce attack on Fuping Town, and the Dingguo Army was attacking like a tide, but it did not penetrate deep into the town, but just so, it had already caused a lot of pressure on the rebels in the town. The people in the town were panicked, and Xu Yongning was worried that he would be broken through all the time, and in the face of wave after wave of attacks by the Dingguo army, more and more soldiers and horses were lost.

Chai Yonghao hurried non-stop, but he still couldn't stop Xu Yongning from asking for help, "Report, General, Fuping Town was attacked by Yang Zhi's troops in turn, General Xu is defending the town, and now he has suffered heavy losses, please support the General quickly." ”

Chai Yonghao frowned, Yang Zhi was bound to win Fuping Town, for fear that Xu Yongning would not be able to hold Fuping Town, Chai Yonghao was anxious, and then ordered the three thousand soldiers and horses who dared to rush to the front of the road to abandon the southern defense line, divert to the north, and go to the aid of Fuping Town first. Under Chai Yonghao's series of mobilizations, the attention of both sides was inevitably focused on the small Fuping Town, which was not a military location, but at this time it became the focus of everyone's attention. Lu Chongze's department gave up blocking the gap in the southern line and directly rushed to the aid of Fuping Town, because Lu Chongze's department was the earliest to move, so it was also closest to Fuping Town, and when he heard that Lu Chongze's soldiers and horses came to support, Yang Zhi couldn't wait for half an hour at all, and directly ordered the whole army to retreat north. Xu Yongning, who was guarding Fuping Town, was confused, he didn't know why the Dingguo Army was attacking like a tide and had obvious advantages, why did he retreat by himself?

At this time, if Xu Yongning can catch up and bite Yang Zhi's army, it will not be so easy for Pang He's main army to withdraw. It's a pity that Xu Yongning's department has been scared, seeing Yang Zhi's department retreating, he didn't dare to chase it out, and when Lu Chong led the troops to arrive, Xu Yongning could only look up to the sky and sigh that he was unlucky. Pang He's army retreated in the direction of Hu Xinzhai, and at this time, the soldiers and horses of the Chai clan were already very close to Fuping Town, and even if Chai Yonghao reacted, it was useless.

In the north, Wu Liang gave up reinforcing the defensive line and advanced the whole army to the south according to Chai Yonghao's orders, but Wu Liang was much more cautious than Chai Yonghao. Wu Liang, as a veteran of the Dingguo Army, can be said to know the generals of the Dingguo Army very well, the Dingguo Army is brave in battle, but he will never act recklessly, then Pang He is also a rare genius, since he dares to lead his troops out of the West Battalion, will he be unprepared and let people easily encircle? Wu Liang still admires Pang He's military talent very much, this person's ability is not under Han Shizhong at all, if you want to copy his back road, it is better to be careful, Wu Liang marched all the way, but did not forget to send spies, in the end, Wu Liang's caution brought great gains to his army. A horse galloped and rushed straight in front of Wu Liang, and immediately the knight was panting and sweating profusely, "General Wu, the big thing is not good, Pang He's army suddenly withdrew to Hu Xinzhai, and now the intention is unknown." ”

"What?" Wu Liang hurriedly reined in the horse, his eyes were full of panic, Pang He suddenly led his troops to retreat to Hu Xinzhai, what was his intention? However, at least one thing is certain, the main army of the Western Front did not think of attacking Fenglei Town at all. Wu Liang quickly figured it out, but after figuring it out, he couldn't help but be afraid for a while. Fortunately, I kept an eye on myself, otherwise I would have suffered a big loss now. Pang He's series of actions is to burn the granary of the Eastern Battalion and raise troops to attack Fenglei Town, but the ultimate goal is to attract attention and rescue the trapped Eastern Front army. If you are earnest to make meritorious contributions and really rush to the south according to Chai Yonghao's orders, according to the normal distance, you should be near Hu Xinzhai now, as long as you lead the troops to the north of Hu Xinzhai, you will just be caught by the main force of the Dingguo Army that has withdrawn to the west camp, and you will inevitably have a head-on attack. Adjusting the tiger to leave the mountain, secretly Chen Cang, and even beating rabbits with grass, Pang He is really difficult. At this time, Wu Liang also had to admire Pang He, such a difficult situation was actually resolved by Pang He.

"Order all departments to immediately withdraw to the east in batches, and rush back to the eastern front as quickly as possible" Wu Liang is not a fool, if he forcibly leads his troops to block the north of Hu Xinzhai, he will definitely be able to delay for a long time, but the consequences of doing so must be disastrous, under a fierce battle, I am afraid that there will be few soldiers and horses left in his hands, and if he really fights head-on, how can he fight Pang He? Wu Liang will not be stupid enough to make wedding dresses for others, the only thing he can do now is to rush back to the Eastern Front, trying to lock up the trapped Dingguo Army on the Eastern Front, as long as he can completely annihilate the main force of the Eastern Front, he Wu Liang will win.

Fortunately, Wu Liang's reaction was fast enough, and at this time, Pang He had already made a plan to cut Wu Liang's army, and when he tried to retreat, he would attack Wu Liang's troops for a while. However, these series of actions were resolved by Wu Liang, Wu Liang led his troops to the east openly, and Pang He could not chase them, as for the result of the main army on the eastern front, they could only rely on themselves.

It is said that when the rebels on the Eastern Front were frequently mobilized, Xiao Yue was not idle, he knew very well in his heart that the rebels frequently transferred troops from the Eastern Front, and it must have been Pang He's side that had moved, so he discussed with Hu Yanzhuo and immediately made the decision to break through. Approaching three o'clock in the afternoon, more than 2,000 soldiers and horses of Wu Song's department suddenly attacked to the north, as if they wanted to tear a road from the east camp, Wu Song's department was very brave, fought for half an hour, and even laid down a large area of the camp south of the east camp, this time the rebels had to deal with it carefully, the four thousand troops stationed in the west were ordered to move closer to the east camp, it was this loosening, Xiao Yue and Hu Yanzhuo seized the opportunity, and immediately forcibly broke through from this gap.

Xiao Yue personally raised his knife and launched a fierce attack on the defense area where Zhu Lancheng was stationed, and Zhu Lancheng's department had nearly 5,000 people, defending the most dangerous heights. Xiao Yue's assault on the most difficult defensive area on the Eastern Front seems a little irrational, but in fact it is the most correct to do so. The high ground where Zhu Lancheng was stationed was very dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but if he really took Zhu Lancheng's defense area in one fell swoop, then there would be no dangerous place to defend within twenty miles to the west. Now that the main forces of the rebels on the Eastern Front are moving to the periphery, if they can take down Zhu Lancheng's defense area, they can quickly tear a hole in the rebels' encirclement. Of course, Zhu Lancheng knew how arduous his task was, and General Chai Yonghao mobilized many soldiers and horses to go to the direction of Fenglei Town, so that only 5,000 people were left on the highlands where 10,000 people were stationed. The most fatal thing is that the Dingguo army was besieged before, and there were two heavily guarded defense lines behind the highlands, but due to the danger in the direction of Fenglei Town, coupled with the fact that the highlands were easy to defend and difficult to attack, I felt that the Dingguo army would not attack the highlands, so the two defense lines in the rear were also removed, that is to say, the highlands defended by him Zhulancheng seemed to be the strongest and most dangerous, but in fact it became the weakest link, difficult to fight, but if you really want to fight down, there will be no resistance behind.

The officers and men of the Dingguo Army all knew that the first battle on the highlands was related to the life and death of more than 10,000 troops, and the time was urgent, and if the highlands could not be captured in the shortest possible time, the hope of more than 10,000 troops to break through would be completely shattered. Therefore, the generals in charge of the offensive all took the lead and personally put on the battle, and even the general Xiao Yue had already charged ahead, who would dare to retreat. Xiao Yue looked over an enemy general, wiped the blood on his face, and said angrily, "Li Hong, Li Hong, send your reserve team up, and remove all the remaining arrows at an angle, you must knock down that mountain, if you can't attack it in half an hour, none of us can leave." ”

Xiao Yue is already red-eyed, he has attacked four times, but every time he has been blocked by the rebels, now as long as he lays down a mountain, he can use the mountain as a root to quickly spread out, take the entire highland, but not a single mountain has been taken. This place is connected to the Nakajo Mountain, which belongs to the branch of the Nakajo Mountain, and the mountains are connected together, and if you break through a little, you can break through the whole line. Under Xiao Yue's order, Hu Yanzhuo, who was in charge of the command, ordered all the remaining more than 700 cavalry to dismount and rush forward with the war horse as a meat shield. In order to take one of the hills, the soldiers of the Eastern Front can be said to be at any cost. Xiao Yue's casualties were not small, and Zhu Lancheng, who was responsible for defending the high ground, was not much better, at this time Zhu Lancheng was covered in blood, and his left arm was also tied, "What about the reinforcements, what about the reinforcements, and then send someone to inform the Queen Mother, Lao Tzu wants reinforcements." ”

While roaring, blood and tears oozed from his eyes, for so many years, he Zhulan had never fought such a tragic battle, and in less than an hour, he had already buried nearly 4,000 soldiers and horses. Zhu Lancheng couldn't understand why the battle was so tragic and the reinforcements just didn't come up. Zhu Lancheng is really wrong to blame Chai Keyan, since he learned that Xiao Yue and Hu Yanzhuo launched a fierce attack on the highlands, he immediately ordered the soldiers and horses on both wings to support Zhu Lancheng, but the soldiers and horses on these two roads were attacked head-on without exception, obviously Xiao Yue had already set up an ambush on the mountain roads on both sides of the highlands, and was waiting for reinforcements to come to the door. In addition, Wu Song did not completely withdraw, and still continued to harass the Dongda Battalion, which made Chai Keyan anxious. At this time, Chai Keyan figured it out, maybe Pang He never thought of attacking Fenglei Town from beginning to end, and burning the granary was a disguise, just to create a false impression that the Dingguo Army was going to do something to the grain and grass. I understood, but it didn't have much effect, and it would take time to redeploy the soldiers and horses that had been transferred out, but the reinforcements had not been able to reach the high ground for a long time, and the situation was getting worse and worse.

Chai Keyan walked around in the tent, there was a thick worry between his eyebrows, the door opened, a wounded soldier cried and rushed in, as soon as he entered the tent, he knelt on the ground, "Woo, Queen Mother, send reinforcements quickly, the enemy attack is too fierce, the brothers have lost more than half, and if there are no reinforcements, the high ground will be lost." ”

The soldier had braved many obstacles to rush out, and with him eleven men had come, and when he had rushed out, he was the only one left. Looking at the soldier who was kneeling on the ground and crying, the anger in Chai Keyan's eyes became stronger and stronger, not at this soldier, let alone at Zhu Lancheng, but at those soldiers and horses who were galloping to help, "Come on, and then order Tian Xingkui, if you can't reach the high ground within half an hour, support Zhu Lancheng, and deal with it by military law." ”

Tian Xingkui is not an ordinary person, he is Tian Xingmao's younger brother, all along, Chai Keyan looks at Tian Xingmao's face, and has a lot of forbearance towards Tian Xingkui, but this time, he really can't help it, because the reinforcements are not available, which is directly related to the highland and his love Zhu Lancheng. The order to urge the attack came again, Tian Xingkui glanced at it, grinned and scolded, "Attack and attack, Lao Tzu doesn't know how to attack, this girl surnamed Chai is really too deceitful, do you want Lao Tzu to die here?" ”

Tian Xingkui relied on his brother's power, and he has always been not very interested in Chai Keyan, besides, this can't all be blamed on him Tian Xingkui, the Dingguo Army blocked so fiercely, completely blocked the narrow intersection, and wanted to break through the past, how simple is it? However, scolding and scolding, Tian Xingkui had to find a way to break through as soon as possible, because the military law was not a joke, and even his brother couldn't protect him. There was no way to be forced, Tian Xingkui began to increase his offensive efforts, but unfortunately, he was a little late in his desperate efforts.

Zhu Lancheng swore to defend the heights, but he could not get reinforcements for a long time, and finally under the repeated attacks of the Dingguo army, the highlands were lost, and the 5,000 soldiers and horses of the department were annihilated, of course, in order to capture the highlands, the Dingguo army also paid nearly 6,000 casualties. Taking the high ground, there will be no hindrance in the large area to the west, Wu Song began to collect troops, and the soldiers and horses who also blocked the rebels on the two wings also withdrew towards the high ground, and at the end of the day, Xiao Yue and Hu Yanzhuo led the remaining 7,000 soldiers and horses to begin to retreat from the high ground, all the way to the west. The more than 14,000 elites trapped in the Eastern Front defense area finally escaped from the ordinary soldiers and horses, which was already a big victory for the Dingguo Army. In the evening, Xiao Yue's troops broke through the blockade of the rebels and returned to the western camp, and at this time, Pang He's main army also withdrew to the camp one after another. Wu Liang's speed was finally slowed down, and he failed to plug the gap in time, as for Chai Yonghao, who was stationed in Hu Xinzhai, his face was already as black as ink, and he thought that he was an elegant person, but he was stunned by Zhou Zihao and crooked his nose.

The gap in the eastern front was opened, and Xiao Yue, who was originally a fish on the chopping board, escaped halfway, and the direction of Fenglei Town also made Pang He's group turn, not to mention besieging the army on the western front, he didn't bite off a piece of Pang He's meat, but his side let the Dingguo army suffer a lot of losses. Zhou Zihao was called to Hu Xinzhai, looking at Zhou Zihao who was safe and sound in front of him, Chai Yonghao actually had an urge to cry, he pointed at Zhou Zihao, and said with a cold smile, "General Zhou, you are really powerful, you don't move a knife or a shot, turn the horse's head and run, that's how you lead the troops to fight?" You have no problem escaping, why don't you even tell Chai the most basic information, do you know that because of your incompetence, nearly 70,000 troops under Pang were fished by Pang and used as monkeys? ”

Being accused for a while, Zhou Zihao felt very innocent, he pouted and replied very reasonably, "General Chai, Zhou never said that he wanted to be a general, it was my cousin and you who forced Zhou to lead the troops." As for delivering the message, what are you kidding, the thieves chased Zhou's butt and beat him, and if he was not careful, he would die, who would have the heart to send you a letter. Besides, Zhou's 4,000-strong army retreated, such a big thing, needless to say, you have been a general for so many years in vain. ”

"I... I..."Chai Yonghao glared, almost fainted, he didn't expect to be beaten upside down, the Queen Mother is wise and wise, how can there be such a superb cousin. This bastard is still clamoring to compare with Zhao Yougong, and he is not worthy of lifting shoes for Zhao Yougong. Chai Yonghao understands, no matter how much reason he talks about this kind of goods, he is also playing the piano to the cow, as for how to deal with Zhou Zihao, let the Queen Mother make an idea, wave his hand, Chai Yonghao said weakly, "Come on, invite General Zhou down, and wait to see the Queen Mother, she will send it down in person." ”

If you were someone else, it is estimated that your face would have turned pale with fright, and if you make such a big mistake, it is estimated that military law will inevitably deal with it, but Zhou Zihao has a relaxed smile on his face, and he is not worried that his life will be in danger.

Chai's siege of the Eastern Front failed, and half of Xiao Yue's troops escaped. However, from the overall situation, due to the successful occupation of the Dongdaying by the Chai clan, the defense line built by the Dingguo army on the south bank of Fenglingdu has collapsed, and the army staying on the south bank of Fenglingdu will face a strong attack by the Chai army several times larger than itself at any time. saved Xiao Yue, but could not reverse the strategic disadvantage at all. Xiao Yue, who had picked up a life, didn't feel a little relaxed, there was a deathly silence in the tent, and everyone's face exuded a thick sadness, because everyone knew that as long as they stayed on the south bank, the danger would not be reduced. As long as the Chai clan completes the repair and launches a fierce attack on the West Battalion, with its current strength, it will not be able to hold it at all, not to mention that the grain and grass left in the West Camp will not be able to support it for too long.

What the soldiers on the south bank should do is ultimately up to the people in the base camp on the north bank to decide. The situation on the south bank has undergone earth-shaking changes, and no one expected that in just a few days, the eastern camp was lost, and nearly 60,000 troops lost more than 20,000 troops, which can be described as heavy losses. The military failure on the south bank, the most reflective is Zhao Yougong, Chai Keyan was able to occupy the East Camp because he held a mysterious fleet in his hands. Thinking about it carefully, it is not strange that the matter of the Zhang family in Jinxi has appeared, over the years, some miscellaneous matters have been handed over to Zhu Lian and Pan Jinlian, especially in the shopping mall, I have never interfered, but I didn't expect this little negligence to cause so much trouble to myself. The Zhang family in western Jin is a famous wealthy family in Hedong, and Zhang Siwei is only forty years old and is already the first person in the Jin Dynasty, so he is obviously a little capable. The measures taken by the Qin Wangfu over the years have really been a bit poisonous, and they have directly offended many of the original wealthy families, in fact, even if the Zhang family does not stand up, I am afraid that there will be other families who stand up, if it is only one Zhang family, can there be such a big hand? Without the support of other wealthy families, I'm afraid the Zhang family wouldn't dare to be so out of line.

But the thing has come out, and the biggest challenge now is what to do? Dongfang Jin, Tuoba Qingyun and others were also thinking of a way, and in the end, Dongfang Jin said with a stern expression, "Judging from the current situation, the defense line on the south bank can no longer be garrisoned, especially the grain and grass in the east camp have been destroyed, and tens of thousands of soldiers on the south bank can't hold out for long." As long as the rebels hold their ground and hold on patiently, within 10 days, the soldiers on the south bank of our army will collapse without a fight. Therefore, it is imperative to do everything possible to withdraw the army on the south bank for repair. In addition, all units should also be on full alert to prevent the rebels from taking advantage of the situation to launch a surprise attack on the north bank. At present, Chai's fleet is docked in the area of Fenglingdu, and it is difficult for our army to withdraw from the river, so his subordinates believe that all ships should be mobilized to the area of Fengxiang Mansion, and Pang He and Xiao Yue are also ordered to retreat to the west and withdraw from the vicinity of Fengxiang Mansion by boat. ”

Dongfang Jin's plan is very perfect, but everyone also knows that it is not so easy to withdraw unharmed, there are so many soldiers and horses of the Chai clan, it is impossible to watch Pang He's army retreat, so he must find a way to bear most of the pressure on Pang He's department. How to help Pang He, no one had any good ideas for a while. Zhao Yougong is really worried about the tens of thousands of soldiers on the south bank, if these tens of thousands of soldiers lose too much, then it will be difficult to continue the next war, his heart is anxious, his throat is blocked, he coughs while holding his chest, Sanniang brings water and puts the prepared medicine on the table, "Official, there will always be a way, at this moment, you must not have an accident." ”

What Sanniang said is not true, at such a critical moment, if Zhao Yougong falls ill again, the morale of the Fenglingdu army will be vented to the end. Lin Chong didn't speak, waiting for Zhao Yougong to take the medicine and look better, before he suggested, "Your Highness, the last general once went to the Fengxiang Mansion Ferry, and the Yellow River in that area is not too wide, and the water flow is not so turbulent. The last general thought, why don't we try to connect with bamboo rafts and build a temporary bamboo raft pontoon bridge? If we can, we can also mobilize all the remaining ships to the area of Fenglingdu, and make the illusion of retreating from Fenglingdu to meet the retreat of the army, as long as the attention of the Chai army is attracted over, the soldiers on the south bank will definitely be able to withdraw to Fengxiang Mansion at the smallest cost. ”

The water level of the Yellow River is very deep, and the current is also very turbulent, even if the water flow in the Fengxiang Mansion area is gentle, but it is very difficult to build a temporary bamboo pontoon bridge from the Yellow River. Zhao Yougong didn't know much about the bamboo pontoon, so he could only put his eyes on others. Tuoba Qingyun thought about it and nodded in agreement, "Official, what General Lin said is a good way, I think this method is very likely to be successful, when I was in the area of Guangnan Road, I have seen those barbarians use bamboo rafts to build bridges, and the bamboo is soaked in sesame oil first, which can completely increase durability, so we might as well try it quietly first." ”

"Well, then this matter will be left to you, you can go back to Chang'an quickly and discuss it with Fenya to see if it is feasible. In addition, all the ships collected before were transferred to Fenglingdu, and they had to use all means to drag the rebels! ”

Zhao Yougong was at a loss, and Chai Keyan, who won a big victory, was also at a loss, because Chai Keyan felt that he could have won a brilliant victory, but the result was a little more flawed, one because of two people, one Zhou Zihao and one Tian Xingkui. Due to Zhou Zihao's incompetence, tens of thousands of troops were played by Pang Hedang, and also due to Tian Xingkui's poor support, the high ground was lost, the general Zhu Lancheng was killed, and the 5,000 army under his command was wiped out. But these two people, Chai Keyan didn't know what to do.

Facing Zhou Zihao, Chai Keyan couldn't wait to stab this so-called cousin to death with a sword, how could there be such a bastard person in the world. But he couldn't kill him, of course, not because of his cousin's identity, he was really forced to be helpless. The Chai family has been in business for many years, and there is the power of Tingyu Pavilion, which can be said to be a big tree with deep roots, but over the years, with the successive wars, huge sums of money, all need baggage, food, etc., and must rely on the support of the Zhou family. Even, in order to block those gossips, he also moved the idea of marrying the Zhou family. At this time, after slaughtering Zhou Zihao, the Zhou family was afraid that they would be separated from themselves, and after hesitating for a long time, Chai Keyan said slowly, "Zhou Zihao is not good for commanding the army, and he will return to Luoyang, and he will not be an official for life." ordered, Tian Xingkui's battle was unfavorable, and Zhu Lancheng's army was annihilated, so he was removed from the post of commander and transferred to the army. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Zihao didn't feel anything, anyway, he originally wanted to be a gentleman, and he had no interest in being an official. However, Tian Xingkui's face is a little black as the bottom of the pot, the military horse division, it sounds good, isn't it just a horse ring, he is dignified and the second head of the Tian family in Guangnan ran to feed the horses, and it must not make people laugh out of their big teeth when it is passed out? Tian Xingkui swallowed his saliva and was about to speak, but Tian Xingmao glared at him, and he didn't dare to say more.

Tian Xingmao was also depressed in his heart, this younger brother was old, why couldn't he tell the priorities, and the lack of support directly led to Xiao Yue's troops escaping, and it was inevitable to deal with it according to common sense military law. Now that he is sparing his life, it can be regarded as the queen mother's face for his Tian Xingmao, and she has been extrajudicial and gracious.

Chai Keyan also has a lot of unhappiness, Zhu Lancheng has been cultivated by himself, and he has been following him for many years, and his ability is stronger than many people, if he didn't trust Zhu Lancheng, he wouldn't let him defend the high ground. But it was such a young leader who killed Tian Xingkui. If Tian Xingkui can lead by example and rush to the front first, it is impossible for the mountain road defended by only 2,000 people to break through, because of Tian Xingkui's incompetence, the high ground was lost, and even Zhu Lancheng lost his life. really wanted to kill Tian Xingkui, but he had to give Tian Xingmao a face. In the final analysis, the Chai clan is too complicated, in this regard, in fact, I envy Zhao Yougong, although the Dingguo Army also has many original border troops, but Zhao Yougong has absolute control. She Chai can speak but can not fully control the forces of all parties, the Chai family has risen too quickly, although it used to control the Tingyu Pavilion, but the impact on the military forces is not great, in that era, it is impossible to blatantly absorb the powerful from all sides, which also leads to today's problems, can not be fully controlled, they have to cooperate with each other, if Tian Xingmao is annoyed, the Tian family's forces withdraw, there is no benefit to the current Chai family, only disadvantage.

glanced at Tian Xingmao, signaling that this Guangnan Haoqiang could educate his younger brother well, and he was also warning Tian Xingmao that if there was a next time, it would not be polite. Tian Xingmao knew this, although Chai Keyan was a woman, she had been in charge of the Yuge Pavilion for many years, and her decision to kill was not weaker than that of a man, and she didn't know how many people died in her hands, and she killed the Thousand-Faced Buddha with her own hands. The reason for the death of the Thousand-Faced Buddha is because this gangster is too ignorant of advancing and retreating, relying on teaching Chai Keyan, he doesn't pay attention to the rules at all, and as a result, he was slaughtered by Chai Keyan himself. There are too many living examples, and he Tian Xingmao doesn't want to follow in the footsteps of the Buddha with a thousand faces. If he wants to turn his face with the Chai family, he Tian Xingmao can naturally protect himself, but if he does that, I am afraid that the power he has been operating for many years will also collapse, and it is impossible to have today, without the help of the Chai family. This time he was able to keep Tian Xingkui, Tian Xingmao felt that it was already very good, he would not be like the Buddha with a thousand faces. Seeing that there was nothing serious, Tian Xingmao came out and said sincerely, "Queen Mother, my brother is incompetent, and the army is so tired that the army suffers heavy losses, and when I go back, my subordinates will be severely punished." ”

Tian Xingmao knew how to advance and retreat, Chai Keyan nodded secretly, and waved his hand to signal that everyone could retreat. Chai Keyan didn't show any dissatisfaction, Tian Xingmao also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thanks to his self-knowledge, if he didn't say this, I'm afraid the woman surnamed Chai would have to think more. After waiting for everyone to retreat, Chai Yonghao walked back, he frowned, his breathing was a little short, obviously he hadn't come out of the previous incident, because the first battle of Fuping Town was too bad, and since he led the troops, he had never fought such a humiliating battle, "Queen Mother, is there something wrong with your handling of Zhou Zihao, the army was mobilized this time, it was completely because of Zhou Zihao's incompetence, this person, not killing is not enough to be the heart of the army." ”

"How can I not know about this queen, but Yonghao, do you know how much grain, grass and bedding we have to rely on the Zhou family to transfer and buy when we march and fight? Without the support of the Zhou family, relying only on our original forces, we could not support tens of thousands of troops to fight year after year, especially in Luoyang, since Yang Wanran entered the Qin Palace in Chang'an, the Yang family withdrew most of the industry from Henan Mansion. The Yang family has deep roots in the Central Plains and has a far-reaching impact, if it weren't for the Zhou family to take over that mess, how could there be so much energy to deal with big things in the future" Chai Keyan said with a bit of bitterness, why didn't she want to slaughter Zhou Zihao, this guy is not enough to succeed and more than to lose, but who has to rely on the Zhou family everywhere? Even if Zhao Yougong is the same, if the second lady of the Zhu family commits something, will Zhao Ling dare to really kill the second lady of the Zhu family? I'm afraid it can't, the Zhu family and the Qin Wangfu broke their bones and connected tendons, without the support of the Zhu family from all sides, I'm afraid there will be a mess in the rear of the Qin family.

Chai Yonghao seems to be able to understand Chai Keyan's helplessness, in fact, over the years, Chai Yonghao has gradually found that Chai Keyan's style of acting has changed a lot, and his methods of doing things seem to be less ruthless than before. When listening to the rain pavilion with the palm of his hand, who dared to disobey the slightest, I was afraid that he would die without a place to be buried. It is said that after the Tian family brothers returned to their residence together, the second Tian Xingkui sat in the chair and scolded and made a noise, "This woman surnamed Chai doesn't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, she can lay the foundation of Nuoda so quickly, can she do it without the help of our Tian family." Hmph, let Lao Tzu feed the horses, what is An's mind, one day, Lao Tzu will push her down to the bed and her. ”

As he spoke, a kind of excited light appeared in Tian Xingkui's eyes, Chai Keyan was cold and arrogant and lonely, rejecting people thousands of miles away, but this did not affect her attractiveness at all, this woman is so beautiful, as long as she is a normal man, there is no one who is not moved. Tian Xingkui believes that other men think the same way as him, and they all want to hug this woman in bed a few times. Tian Xingkui had a sweet dream, but he didn't know that the expression of the eldest brother Tian Xingmao had become very hideous, only to see Tian Xingmao's eyes narrow, raised his hand and threw it on Tian Xingkui's face, and with a crisp sound, Tian Xingkui was directly beaten, his face was hot and painful, Tian Xingkui covered his face, and looked at Tian Xingmao in front of him in disbelief, "Brother, what are you doing, are you crazy?" ”

"Bastard, I think you're crazy, you're living to be a dog? I warn you, starting tomorrow, feed the horses honestly for me, take care of your mouth, if today's words reach Chai Keyan's ears, when the time comes, even if Lao Tzu pays for his life, he will not be able to save you! Hehe, there are a lot of men who want to get Chai Keyan into bed, but most of them have seen Hades, what do you think you have more than others? Tian Xingmao smiled sarcastically, and at the same time there was a lot of helplessness in his heart, he didn't understand, how could he have such a stupid younger brother, if it wasn't for his own brother, he really wanted to throw him into the dung pit. Chai Keyan is such a woman, who is not tempted, I'm afraid that even Chai Yonghao can't calm down, but no one dares to show anything, because this woman is inviolable, if one day, when this woman shows her amorous feelings to someone, then this person is not far from death, of course, except for Zhao Yougong.

Tian Xingkui obviously couldn't understand Tian Xingmao's good intentions, he covered his face and laughed unconvinced, "Hehe, for that woman, you actually beat me, why is she so high, isn't Zhou Zihao's little white face raised by him?" Hey, big brother, do you also have a crush on her, if so, you said it earlier, I won't rob you. ”
