Chen Qingzhi led the white-robed army into the territory of Jiujiang and arrived in Lingbi County, at this time Jiujiang was already full of smoke, and Lingbi County had been occupied by the rebel army. The pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info said that it was a rebel army, but it was formed by the common people who rebelled against Yuan Shu.

When Chen Qingzhi's soldiers and horses arrived in Lingbi, it was almost dark, and the soldiers and horses were stationed outside the city, at this time, the rebel army of Lingbi developed Chen Qingzhi's soldiers and horses were not under the banner of Yuan Jun, so a few people came to inquire about the news, and asked in front of the white-robed military camp: "Where are you soldiers and horses?"

It is said that the Yanzhou soldiers and the Jiangdong army did not commit any offense against the people, so these rebels dared to come up and ask.

Chen Qingzhi got the news, and under the protection of Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin, he came out of the camp to meet several leaders of the rebel army and said: "I am Chen Qingzhi, the general of Qingzhou, and I came to exterminate Yuan Shu on the order of Kong Assassin Shi!"

Several rebels were overjoyed, they were just ordinary people, they didn't understand the political struggle, they only heard that they were here to fight Yuan Shu, that is, they were friends, they were friendly troops.

"It turned out to be the rebel army in Qingzhou, Qingzhou is far away, and you have also come to suppress the thieves?"

Chen Qingzhi said: "Yuan Shu usurped the emperor, scourge the people of Huainan, it is already a crime that deserves death, my Qingzhou is deeply favored by the emperor, attacking Yuan thief, although thousands of miles without resignation!"

"Good! Well said, it is incumbent on Yuan Shu to attack! The leaders of the rebel army clapped their hands one by one, and before they knew it, Chen Qingzhi was already familiar with these people.

Chen Qingzhi also inquired about the situation in Jiujiang, although these were just a rabble of ordinary people, but they were locals, and soon Chen Qingzhi figured out the situation in Huainan today.

Shouchun Yuan Shu spent all day drinking, and now that the north and south lines are defeated, Yuan Shu has recruited tens of thousands of strong men in Shouchun to prepare to protect his safety. And Shouchun's original army was 10,000, commanded by the general Chen Ji.

And Zhao Kuangyin in the north, who has captured the Lu State, Chen State and Liang State in Xuzhou, is now in the territory of Peiguo, which is adjacent to Jiujiang, relying on Zhang Xun to resist with more than 10,000 remnants.

And Sun Ce's Jiangdong soldiers have also attacked the north of Lujiang County, Liang Gang and Li Feng's second generals, Liang Gang has been killed by Sun Ce, and only Li Feng is left with more than 10,000 remnants of the army.

Chen Qingzhi frowned and said: "The situation is really not optimistic, now that Zhao Kuangyin and Sun Ce's soldiers and horses have approached Jiujiang, they have not lost many soldiers and horses to deal with the Yuan army, if they know that I am attacking Shouchun, they will be able to free up soldiers and horses to intercept me."

And the leaders of the rebel army asked: "General Chen, where did you get the grain and grass supplies for your labor expedition?"

Chen Qingzhi shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I went on this expedition only to destroy Yuan and rescue the people of Huainan, and I am ready to be Mo Yu Huainan." As long as you can destroy Yuan, whether you can go back or not, you will be left to fate! ”

After that, Chen Qingzhi arched his hand and said: "I still have to discuss the strategy of attacking Shouchun, so I won't say more!"

Chen Qingzhi, Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin and others returned to the camp, Luo Shixin looked at Chen Qingzhi, wanted to speak and stopped, and finally said: "General, are you really not sure to take us back?" Didn't you come here and say that there was a way to solve the problem of grain and grass? How can you say that you are left to fate? ”

Chen Qingzhi said with a smile: "There will be grain and grass, isn't Ben already solving this matter?" Someone will bring it to us later! ”

"Send food, who will send me and us?" Luo Shixin wondered.

Qin Qiong's eyes lit up and said, "The general is saying that those rebel troops will give us grain and grass?"

"In this march, I have taken benevolence and righteousness as the foundation of my life, and preached to the people of Jiujiang and the rebel army the spirit of our army to regard death as home! These people are eager for our army to destroy Yuan Shu, and they have admiration for our army. Chen Qingzhi asked rhetorically.

"It turns out that the general said to those rebels that it was for food and grass!" Qin Qiong suddenly realized.

Before the words fell, a soldier came to report: "General, those volunteers are here to send food!"

Qin Qiong Luo Shixin was overjoyed, Chen Qingzhi took the two out of the camp again, only to see that outside the camp, the Lingbi Righteous Army was holding several carts of grain and grass, seeing Chen Qingzhi, they bent down and saluted one by one, and shouted: "General Gaoyi, for the sake of my Huainan people, we have nothing to do, only to raise some grain and grass to support the general!" I hope the general will definitely destroy the Yuan thief! ”

"The general is heading west, we have sent someone to inform the rebels along the way, general, you are born and died for our Huainan, and our Huainan people have nothing to repay, so we will raise grain and grass for you!"

"If I have a weapon, I will follow you to fight Yuan Shu!"

These rebellious civilians only drove away the Yuan soldiers in the city, not a military organization. Only a few of the chieftains had knives and guns, while the common people used hoes, harpoons, and most of them used wooden sticks and other weapons.

Although the truckloads of grain and grass in front of him are not much, they are only enough for hundreds of people to hold out for a few days, but if the people and rebels in the entire Jiujiang are like this, it is enough to support Chen Qingzhi's soldiers and horses.

Chen Qingzhi thanked the leader of the righteous army and returned to the camp, and Luo Shixin said happily: "The general is really a god, this can be expected, so we don't have to worry about food and grass on this trip."

Chen Qingzhi nodded and said: "That's what I said, but don't forget how our grain and grass came from, and we take benevolence and righteousness as the foundation of our life, so this trip must let the soldiers do not commit any crimes, and the gains from the attack on Yuan Shu will also be given to the people of Jiujiang in the future."

"It's the general!" The two of them surrendered their orders and went down to proclaim military discipline and restrain the soldiers.

On the second day, Chen Qingzhi led the army to set off and continued to march westward, and at this time, the people of the righteous army from all walks of life only came to Qingzhou and kept the army, they regarded death as home, and they were bent on destroying Yuan Shu for the people of Huainan, but they had no grain and grass, and Chen Qingyi passed by at will, and was greeted by the people and the righteous army.

And the white-robed army did not save food and grass, and those who ate enough every day had to meet the upcoming battle with abundant physical strength.

And at this time, Yuan Shu finally learned the news of the Qingzhou soldiers and horses in Shouchun, and in the Shouchun Palace, Yuan Shu was furious: "It's all the opposite, and Qingzhou Kong Rong also dares to send troops to bully Yu I?" Who is willing to send troops to exterminate the soldiers and horses of Qingzhou? ”

Chen Ji immediately surrendered his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the last general is willing to lead 3,000 troops to suppress it!"

"Your Majesty, Qingzhou soldiers and horses have defeated the Yellow Turban first and then Yuan Shao over the years, and they can't be underestimated. General Chen only brought 3,000 soldiers and horses, I am afraid that he is not an opponent, not to mention that the people in the city are restless now, if he sends troops to attack, the defense in the city is empty, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to protect the longevity. Yan Xiang hurriedly said.

Yuan Shu's strategists Yang Hong, Yan Xiang, and Yuan Lian, Yuan Shu's defeat in the past six months, and his strength was in jeopardy, Yang Hong continued to advise, and the persuasion was fruitless, and finally died of depression. Now only Yan Xiang is left under Yuan Shu's command.

Yuan Shu sneered: "The Yellow Turban Army is just a rabble, and Yuan Shao is just a subordinate of my Yuan family, and I am not worthy of lifting shoes, where can I be compared with my army?" Chen Ji, you will lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to fight the Qingzhou army, let the princes and the people in the city see how easy it is for me to bully the country! ”

"No!" Chen Ji was overjoyed, surrendered his orders, and led 3,000 soldiers and horses out of the city.

Chen Ji went all the way to the east, stopped after walking only a few dozen miles, and gathered his henchmen and said: "Yuan Shu's defeat is imminent, even if we defeat the Qingzhou soldiers, Sun Zhao's soldiers and horses are about to enter Jiujiang, and we will not be able to escape death at that time, it is better to go and take refuge in other princes!"

When all the subordinates heard this, they all nodded in agreement, and after following Yuan Shu, there was only one way to die, so they asked, "Who are we going to seek refuge in?"

"Now there are two roads in the north and south, only Sun Jian and Zhao Kuangyin's people, Sun Jian was under the command of the lord at the beginning, we offended him, we went to the north and had no good fruit to eat, so we went to the north to seek refuge in Zhao Kuangyin!" Chen Ji groaned.

"Okay, let's go to Zhao Kuangyin!"

So Chen Ji took 3,000 soldiers and horses, and before he could fight Chen Qingzhi, he fled and went to seek refuge with Zhao Kuangyin. And Yuan Shu was still in the dark, waiting for Chen Ji's good news.

And Chen Qingzhi marched westward, and the defenders of each city surrendered, and Chen Qingzhi was able to come to Shouchun City unimpeded. After Chen Qingzhi's soldiers and horses took the cities, they distributed the grain and grass in the city to the people, and distributed the ordnance to the righteous army, and the righteous army of people with lofty ideals also followed Chen Qingzhi's road to the west, until the time of Shouchun City, Chen Qingzhi's 8,000 soldiers and horses were a lot, and they also developed and grew, followed by nearly 10,000 righteous troops who got weapons and armor!

Chen Qingzhi's soldiers and horses were encamped under Shouchun City, at this time Yuan Shu finally couldn't sit still, what about Chen Ji? Even if you lose, there should be a letter, right?

Yuan Shu came to the city in a panic and saw the white-robed army under the city, and there were nearly 10,000 rebels behind him.

"I and Qingzhou Kong melt into the water and don't violate the river water, how dare Er Qingzhou violate me to become a country?" Yuan Shu shouted.

"Yuan Shu, you are perverse, arrogant to the emperor, make Huainan angry and resentful, the world's soldiers and horses, and everyone is responsible for exterminating you, where do you want any reason?" Chen Qingzhi fought back.

Yuan Shu looked at Chen Qingzhi's white-robed army, and there were no siege equipment, and he still had tens of thousands of young men and seven thousand soldiers and horses in Shouchun City, and he was not afraid of Qingzhou soldiers and horses attacking. Yuan Shu breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I'm not afraid of the wind flashing my tongue, my Shouchun is here, if you have the ability, come in!" Ha ha! ”

Yuan Shu said and turned to leave. And Chen Qingzhi's army also camped under the city.

That night, Chen Qingzhi and several people sat together, and Luo Shixin said: "General, tomorrow I will send someone to build a ladder and trebuchet, give me three days, and I will definitely win Shouchun."

Qin Qiong shook his head and said, "Shouchun City is strong and profound, it's not so easy to fight!"

Chen Qingzhi sat in front of the desk and sneered: "Although Shouchun City is tall, there are tens of thousands of my troops in the city, as if it has been taken by our army, why do you need to attack?"

Qin Qiong was startled and said, "What? Do you have tens of thousands of my troops in the city? Where did it come from? ”

"Naturally, they turned around!" Chen Qingzhi shook his head and smiled, picked up a pen to write, and soon wrote a letter, handed it to Qin Qiong and said: "Copy this letter in 10,000 copies, shoot it into the city, and break it without a fight!"
