Early the next morning, Liu Xuan led his troops south. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

When the army went south, it began to spread the news of Zhong Jun and Chen Deng's defeat.

The news that Chen Deng was imprisoned by vowing to die also spread.

The news first reached Ju County.

Prime Minister's Office.

Minister Xiao Jianduan sat on the main seat, his face sinking like water.

Below, Zhou Li, the county magistrate of Juxian County, and Pang Jiang, a staff member, sat down separately.

Xiao Jian said in a deep voice: "News came back from the front, Chen Deng's three thousand Danyang soldiers were defeated, and the thousands of soldiers led by Zhong Jun were all defeated and captured. Now Liu Xuan has led the army south and went straight to Ju County. You say, "What should I do?" ”

Pang Jiang said: "Minister of State, Chen Dengnai is a famous man in Xuzhou, and the three thousand Danyang soldiers he led are the elite of the elite. Even Chen Deng was defeated, and if we raise troops to meet the battle, it will definitely not be possible to win. In the following opinion, there are now two things to do. ”

Xiao Jian asked, "What two things?" ”

Pang Jiang replied: "First, mobilize all the soldiers in Ju County and prepare for defense; Second, immediately send troops south and ask the state pastor to send troops to rescue. ”

Xiao Jian looked at Zhou Li and asked, "Zhou County Order, what do you think?" ”

Zhou Li said: "Prime Minister, I also agree with Mr. Pang's suggestion, at present, we have no choice at all." In the current situation, this is the only way to do. ”

Xiao Jian nodded and said, "It seems that you can only defend it." ”

After a pause, Xiao Jian said: "Pang Jiang, you immediately write a letter to write down the situation of this battle, and then send it to Xiapi urgently, and ask Lord Zhou Mu to send troops to rescue." ”

"Yes!"

Pang Jiang nodded, turned around and went down.

Xiao Jian looked at Zhou Li again and said, "Zhou County Order, Liu Xuan is going south, this battle will definitely be fought." Once the war starts, food and equipment are the top priority. From now on, you start preparing for this. ”

"Yes, the humble duty will be done immediately."

Zhou Li surrendered and hurriedly left.

Xiao Jian sat alone in the hall and couldn't help but sigh lightly.

The current situation can only be done to obey the destiny of heaven.

About half an hour later, a cavalryman quickly left Ju County, one person rode two horses, and went directly south. The cavalryman ran almost day and night, and when one horse ran away, he continued to run on another horse. After arriving at the post station, he changed into two horses and headed south.

This way, almost without stopping.

There is very little time to rest along the way, and if you are hungry, you will eat some dry food.

In a short time, he entered the territory of Xiapi County.

"Da! Da! ”

The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and the soldiers who delivered the message had come to the outside of Xiapi City.

"Urgent, Langya urgent!"

The soldier roared loudly as he ran.

At this time, the soldier's voice was slightly hoarse. As his horses approached the gates, the soldiers who were stationed there gave way, allowing the messengers to enter the city. When the messenger arrived outside the governor's mansion, someone immediately greeted him, took the letter from the messenger, and then arranged for the messenger to go down and rest.

Tao Qian was taking a nap, but he was also woken up, so he hurriedly came to the study.

After receiving the news of Langya Kingdom, Tao Qian read it, his face was pale, and there was a trace of horror in his eyes.

Defeated!

Chen Deng was defeated and captured.

The army of Langya was completely annihilated.

Tao Qian's hand holding the letter was trembling slightly, and his face, which was covered with age spots, looked even more pale and weak. Tao Qian made small moves against Donglai County several times, and he didn't take Liu Xuan in his eyes.

I don't want to, this time I actually hit the iron plate.

Chen Deng was defeated, who could resist Liu Xuan.

"Whew! Call!! ”

Tao Qian's breathing became short, and his mood fluctuated a little. But after all, he is a person who has gone through ups and downs and has been in officialdom for decades, and he quickly adjusted his mood and calmed himself down.

"Someone!"

Tao Qian ordered.

The butler walked in and bowed.

Tao Qian instructed: "Please invite the eldest prince, the second prince, Cao Bao, Chen Qi, Wang Lang, Zhao Yu, and Zhen Rong to discuss the matter." ”

"No!"

When the butler heard this, he turned around and went down to give orders.

After a short time, the potter and Tao Ying came to the study first.

The potter looked dissatisfied, and said: "Father, my son is writing poems with Xuzhou celebrities, and you are calling your son now, isn't it embarrassing for your son?" ”

Tao Ying also nodded and said, "Father, my son fell in love with a good horse yesterday. I made an appointment to go today, no, my son was just going to go, and you called your son here, which is really disappointing. ”

"Bastard!"

Tao Qian listened to the words of his two sons, and was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.

By this time, it was disappointing that his two sons still had a good time.

Tao Shang said: "Father, what's wrong?" ”

Tao Ying looked strange, and also looked at Tao Qian, looking puzzled.

Tao Qian looked at his son who was not angry, sighed, and said, "Liu Xuan defeated the army of Langya State, captured Chen Deng, and is now heading towards Ju County. Xiao Jian, the minister of Langya, sent a letter asking for support. ”

Brush!

When the potter and Tao Ying heard this, their faces changed greatly.

Although the two of them don't like government affairs, they also know the seriousness of this matter.

"Step! Trample! ”

There was a sound of footsteps, and outside the study, a group of people walked in. Chen Jue was at the forefront, followed by Cao Bao, Di Rong, Wang Lang and Zhao Yu. Everyone saluted Tao Qian and sat down in the study.

Tao Qian's expression was solemn, and he said slowly: "This official invited you here because of the war in Langya Kingdom. As soon as I got the news, the army under the command of Zhong Jun, the commander of Langya State, was wiped out. Chen Deng and 3,000 Danyang soldiers were also defeated by Liu Xuan. In this battle, Chen Deng and Zhong Jun were captured. At present, Liu Xuan sent troops to the south and went straight to Ju County. Xiao Jian sent someone to deliver a message, asking for support. ”

After Tao Qian said this, his complexion changed greatly.

Everyone's hearts sank.

Liu Xuan's southward movement means that Xiapi will also fall into crisis.

At this moment, Chen Qi is also sitting on pins and needles. After all, his son was defeated. Chen Qi took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and said, "My lord, I don't know how my son's life and death are?" ”

Tao Qian said: "He was captured by Liu Xuan, but Chen Dengning did not surrender. Now, Liu Xuan has not killed Chen Deng. ”

When Chen Qi heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief.

It's good that you're not dead.

Chen Qi said: "Your Excellency invited us here, are you planning to send troops to meet the battle?" ”

Tao Qian shook his head and said, "Whether to face the battle or not, we have to discuss it again." This is what the ruler has called you together for. ”

When everyone heard this, their expressions were quite solemn.

Chen Deng is well known in Xuzhou and is known for his outstanding talent.

Even Chen Deng was defeated, let alone them?

Zhao Yu opened his mouth and said, "My lord, I think I deserve to fight. Liu Xuan is so strong, he is killing now, if we don't fight, will we ask for peace? If we seek peace, how do people in the world view adults? In the next force to fight a battle. I am the elite of Danyang in Xuzhou, and I have always been the elite of the world, so why not be afraid of Liu Xuan. ”
