"How? What do you generals say? When Luo Qian heard that Zhao Xun had replied, he hurriedly asked.

Wang Hao said with a smile: "My family said that as long as Du Shuai does not forget the gift of ten thousand horses, he can delay time for Du Shuai." ”

"I don't dare to forget, I can write down the agreement. It's just that how did General Zhao delay Zuo Long Xiangwei's attack? ”

"Zuo Longxiang is here, although the grain, grass, and armor are complete, but the siege equipment needs to be provided by my general, and it will be slowly delayed when the time comes. Although Du Shuai can rest assured, there will never be a fork. Besides, under the rule of the Xiaoguo Army, there are many handsome spies, as for the situation, you will know. Wang Hao Zhengse said.

"Then thank you General Zhao, this gift of ten thousand horses, I will never forget it." Luo Qian also said with a straight face.

Subsequently, Luo Gan retracted his subordinates and abandoned the ordinary cities, leaving only four cities high and thick.

At the junction of Weizhou Mansion and the northern part of Pingzhou Mansion, 50,000 Zuo Long Xiangwei camped here.

"Brother Xue, the atmosphere in the camp is a little weird!" Qin Daolin frowned and said.

Xue Qinglan said lightly: "Didn't you expect this situation a long time ago?" ”

"Alas...... What do you think General Lee, the current situation ......"

Xue Qinglan sneered: "Do you want the general to be captured?" This time it is not to be dismissed, let alone to be punished, but to bring the general to death. ”

"If we embrace ......"

"No, that's a rebellion, we don't have the same advantage as the Xiaoguo Army, the Xiaoguo Army can not be afraid of the imperial court's holy decree, that's because the people under the rule of the Xiaoguo Army only have the Xiaoguo Army in their eyes and no court, and more importantly, their army is grown by a private army and is raised by themselves. The local civil official system is Zhao Xun's people, and more importantly, in our north is the Xiaoguo Army, in the west is Cao Gang and Youlong Xiangwei, and in the south is the land of the imperial court. ”

"The general is still ......"

"The general has no intention of succeeding or winning!"

Qin Daolin said a little depressedly: "Why? Also, are we going to stay here? Ignore the Great General? Although...... But the general has been kind to us for several years! ”

Xue Qinglan suddenly said, "Do you know that the Xiaoguo Army sent someone to contact our Zuo Long Xiangwei? ”

"You know, what's going on?"

"Without the general's consent, the Xiaoguo army will aggressively approach and win over Zuo Long Xiangwei?"

Qin Daolin was stunned for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "You mean, this thing is allowed by the great general?" That's right, without the general's words, the Xiaoguo Army would not be so presumptuous. Even we are aware of it, and it is impossible for the general not to know it. Wait a minute...... The general and Zhao Xun are at odds with each other...... Worry allowed the Xiaoguo army to win over the soldiers of the subordinate army...... Could it be ......" As he spoke, Qin Daolin's face changed a few times.

"The general doesn't want us to get involved, let alone join Cao Gang. In the past, among the Right Dragon Guard, many officers transferred from the Left Guard were suppressed by Cao Gang. ”

"You mean, the general wants us to be transferred to Zhao Xun of the Xiaoguo Army? It can't be, right? We are the guards, and the free court is in charge of the transfer arrangement, and the Xiaoguo army can't incorporate us into its command, right? No matter how bold Zhao Xun is, he doesn't dare to do this! Qin Daolin shook his head and said.

Xue Qinglan said with a smile: "So we were sent to Haizhou Mansion to attack the Yan Army, and at the same time, if necessary, we must also respond to the general and provide a handle for the Xiaoguo Army." Okay, let's not talk about this for now, let's talk about the handling of the Yan army in the south of Haizhou Mansion first, no matter what, this can be regarded as washing away the shame of us retreating without a fight. ”

"Siege ...... But we didn't have siege engines with us. ”

"There may not be a need for siege equipment, the Jin Ya army in these five cities has long been in the hands of the Xiaoguo army, do you think the Xiaoguo army really dare not cross the line because of the Haizhou Mansion's lack of invitation and obstruction? When did the mouth of the canyon do things so well? The officials of Haizhou Mansion have such courage to dare to go against the Xiaoguo Army? ”

"Qi Qi two generals, Captain Luo of the Xiaoguo Army asks to see you!" The doorman reported by the guard.

"Looks like it's time for us to act." Xue Qinglan said with a smile.

The little yellow gate of the imperial court finally arrived in Youzhou City, and the decree was announced, under the pretext of colluding with the Yan army and allowing the Yan army to occupy the Yan State capital. Li Huaiyuan was deprived of the post of governor of Youzhou and general Zuo Longxiangwei, and escorted him back to Chang'an to await trial. Zuo Longxiangwei was temporarily led by two generals, and the governor of Youzhou was filled by Situ Yun, who arrived with Xiaohuangmen.

However, the holy decree that came down like the power of heaven in the past has lost its effect in the Youzhou Governor's Mansion today. Xiao Huangmen and Situ Yun were beheaded on the spot, and then they played with the joint names of the lieutenants of the six prefectures of Youzhou, the envoys of soldiers and horses, and other officials, saying that the traitorous villain in the court was in charge, framed Zhongliang, and refused to be called. Then, the accompanying more than 100 Praetorian Guards were expelled from Youzhou, and bluntly said that they wanted to clear the monarch's side and kill the traitors.

It was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, shaking Youzhou up and down dizzy. Wealthy families in various state capitals fled one after another, and except for a small number of people who went south, most of them moved their families to the rule of Xiaoguo Army.

After killing the Xiao Huangmen, Li Huaiyuan immediately took over the Youzhou Prefectures and let the Mansions obey the order. Before the imperial court could react, Cao Gang, the general of Zhenbei, scolded Li Huaiyuan for having no imperial court and intending to rebel, and said that he would listen to the edict at any time and march east to quell the rebellion. At the same time, he called on Zhao Xun, the general of Yunlu, to cut off the retreat route of Zuo Long Xiangwei and let him wait for the arrangement of the imperial court.

Zhao Xun did not make any bold statements, but the Xiaoguo army mobilized one after another and deployed at the junction of the Xiaoguo army and the south. And Li Huaiyuan also mobilized the government army in a big way, most of which moved westward, preparing to confront Cao Gang.

Immediately afterwards, Zuo Longxiangwei, who was far away in Haizhou Mansion besieging the Jin Yan army, also echoed Li Huaiyuan, bluntly saying that the court was treacherous and refused to obey the holy decree. Zuo Longxiangwei's entire army was even ready to withdraw to the south of Youzhou, in line with Li Huaiyuan, but was intercepted by the Xiaoguo army. Under the appeasement of the two generals, Zuo Long Xiangwei decided to defeat the army first, and then talk about other things.

Li Huaiyuan's actions spread to Chang'an City, and the court was in an uproar, is this another state rebellion? When scolding Li Huaiyuan for the crime of rebellion, he also discussed how to deal with the affairs of Youzhou. The existing rebellion in Xuzhou, followed by the rebellion in Liangzhou, and now the same is true in Youzhou in the north, which is really shaking the world. Many courtiers mentioned that Li Huaiyuan was restored to his status as the governor, to appease Li Huaiyuan's heart, and to wait for Liangzhou and Xuzhou to settle the situation before making plans. But under the strength of the left minister Situ Lei, he resolutely exterminated Li Huaiyuan.

In May, the imperial court issued an edict declaring Li Huaiyuan a rebellious minister and ordering the six prefectures to resist Li Huaiyuan's rule. At the same time, the edict ordered General Zhenbei to be a rebellious general and put down the rebellion against Youzhou.

"It seems that Situ Lei and the imperial court are guarding against us and don't want us to go to war." Zhao Xun said to everyone in the hall with a smile.

Situ Liang said: "After Cao Gang returned from defeat, at that time, the imperial court still begged us to go south to quell the rebellion. ”

"Although we are not given an edict now, we must also be prepared. Pei Yi, are we enough reserve officers to train? ”

Pei Yi now also knew Zhao Xun's plans and plans, and said with a wry smile: "There is still a lot of scarcity, as long as there are not enough talents on the ruling side such as the county order and the government Yin, those auxiliary adjutants will be trained a lot by then." ”

"It doesn't matter, there are still many honest and aspiring officials in the six governments, but they are suppressed by their superiors and colleagues, and they will also be used by us."

"Logistics Division, the materials, grain and grass for the army must be prepared properly, and we must not be negligent."

Zhang Jun, director of the Logistics Department, said: "The general can rest assured, Yiqiē has already been prepared. ”

"The Eagle Eye Division and the Shadow Division have increased their efforts to woo officials from various provinces, and after they go south, they will do their best to use them."

Lecheng, where the army of the Yan Dynasty is located.

"Lord Dushuai, now you can rest assured, the Zuo Long Xiangwei outside the city has no intention of fighting again, they have now become rebellious subordinates, the retreat has been cut off, and the army's spirit has collapsed."

Luo Qian naturally knew about the big events in Youzhou, and was originally worried that Zhao Xun would not be able to delay Zuo Long Xiangwei's siege, but now, it was obvious that Zuo Long Xiangwei had no intention of attacking the city.

"General Zhao is doing things, Luo is at ease, even if you reply to your general, I Luo Qian will not forget our agreement, and in the future, ten thousand horses will be given."

Wang Hao smiled and said, "Okay, then wait for the news of Du Shuai's return to China." ”

Jianfeng City, one of the four cities occupied by the Yan army. After Zuo Longxiangwei besieged the city, the Jin army in the city was on guard day and night, and in order to prevent changes in the people in the city, the Jin army would expel most of the young people from the city. After the Youzhou incident, seeing that Zuo Longxiangwei was also involved, and there was no intention of attacking the city, the city relaxed a little.

The night is like ink, and I can't see my fingers.

The order of the city gate of the west city of the Yan army, today's commander, Zhe Fangzheng is leading dozens of soldiers to inspect and under the city gate, because there is no change in the city, so there is no serious matter. On the walls, the flaming mutton fat torches could only illuminate the space around a dozen paces away. In such a dark night, you can't see anything a few dozen steps away.

Suddenly, on the city wall, a soldier suddenly shouted, "What man...... Belch! ”

"Woo Woo ......"

Sharp arrows swept through the night sky, piercing the throats of several soldiers on the city walls, and the terrible howl came to an abrupt end. Immediately afterward, another rain of arrows appeared, covering the guards guarding the city gate.

Shocked, Zhefang used his scimitar to shoot several arrows in succession, then pulled out the torch on his side and threw it vigorously.

"Bang ......"

The torch hit the ground and burst into a sparkling spark, and by the light of the fire, Zhefang was horrified to find that countless black figures were rushing from the opposite side, and most of these black shadows were wearing the armor of the Left Dragon Guard outside the city.

"Not good! Enemy attack! Zhefang was taken aback and let out a long howl.

"Go forth, both of you, and report to the city, brethren in the city, at once! Come with me, rest of the brethren, and stop them, and they will open the gates. ”

Seeing that he was discovered, Zuo Longxiangwei, who was killing towards the city gate, also shouted: "Kill! Open the gates and welcome the brothers into the city! ”

"Woo woo woo ......" On the city wall, the soldiers hurriedly blew the horn.

Zhefang led dozens of soldiers and bravely faced the black enemy army in front of him. Prepare to delay the arrival of the army for reinforcements.

Not far beyond the city gate, countless soldiers hurried towards the city gate, waiting for the city gate to open.

Not far from the east city, is the camp of the guards of the city, heard the sound of the horn, more than 600 soldiers and soldiers woke up from their sleep, quickly put on leather armor, brought weapons, quickly turned over and got on their horses, and rode towards the city gate......

In the blink of an eye, dozens of soldiers led by Zhefang faced the enemy army on the black ground. Zuo Long Xiangwei, is it really them? How could they be in the city?

"Drink!"

Zhefang shouted, and with a knife in his hand, he slashed to death a left dragon guard in front of him, and the hot blood splashed Zhefang's head and face in an instant, and when the heavy smell of blood entered his nose, his expression immediately became hideous, and his bright black eyes had become red under the light of the fire.

He knew that he wouldn't be able to live today, because there were more than 500 Zuo Longxiang guards in front of him.

"Hoho ......"

Zhefang looked sideways, and several soldiers beside him were all slashed by several long knives from the other party. The cold light flickered, and in the muffled sound, the skulls and blood overflowed, and there were not many soldiers left with him.

Seeing this, Zhefang also knew that he was going to die in the hands of Zuo Long Xiangwei today, but he didn't understand why Zuo Long Xiangwei was in the city.

"Kill! I'm fighting with you! Seeing that the last of his subordinates was beheaded, Tetsukata's eyes turned red, and the scimitar in his hand was raised high, ready to slash the enemy army that had killed his subordinates.

"Boom!"

"The light of the fireflies is also worthy of competing with the bright moon?"

A fierce sound of gold and iron sounded, Zhefang suddenly felt that his arms were sore, the scimitar in his hand had long been unable to hold it, and after flying away, an indifferent voice sounded in his ears, and the next moment, a faint cold light swept across his neck, and Zhefang felt that he was floating up......

Suddenly, Tetsufang was horrified to find that his body was still on the ground, the body that had lost its head, and the blood gushed out from the severed neck like a fountain, and the next moment, a suffocating cold accompanied by a deep darkness struck and completely swallowed Tetsukata's consciousness.

"Go and open the gates! Put rockets! The rest of the people will follow me against the Evil Army. ”

"Obey, Captain!"

Immediately, dozens of people rushed into the city gate, lowered the latch, and opened the gate.
