For the first time in the world, the White Pole Soldiers made a great deal of relentless assault, greatly increasing the number of casualties among the rebels.

Fortunately, Qu'a City was very close, and when it was close to the range of the archers in the city, Chen Gong decisively ordered to stop the charge.

In this battle, Jiang Weifang lost seven or eight hundred people, and Qin Liangyufang only lost more than one hundred. Being at a disadvantage alone, Jiang Wei had no choice but to use his own only 3,000 soldiers and horses to shake Qin Liangyu's 10,000 people and five generals, and it was normal for this result to occur.

This is still due to Jiang Wei's high command, otherwise the loss would be much higher.

Retreating to Qu'a City, Jiang Wei immediately arranged defenses. After this defeat, Jiang Wei realized that there was a big gap between his side and the Han soldiers in terms of the number of soldiers and the strength of the generals, and defending the city was the best choice.

After everything was arranged, Jiang Wei returned directly to the county office.

"Bring the prefectural order here!" Jiang Wei ordered directly.

Although he broke through Qu'a City, Jiang Wei did not kill Taishou, he knew that there was a place to get Taishou.

Not long after, the prefectural order was brought.

The county order, who had been under house arrest for several days, was suddenly released, thinking that his life would be at risk, and hurriedly said: "Don't kill me, I am willing to do whatever you ask me to do!" ”

Jiang Wei was defeated, and he didn't have the heart to say more to him, so he said directly: "Now that the enemy is present, we don't have enough troops, and we need people to defend the city. ”

The county commander said, I wish you were all wiped out. But he didn't dare to say this.

The county order, who couldn't help himself, reluctantly agreed to Jiang Wei's request.

With a county order taking the lead in conscription, the resistance of the common people will be much smaller.

In the next few days, Qin Liangyu led his troops to attack the city several times, and both sides were damaged. Following Chen Gong's advice, Qin Liangyu ordered a siege on three sides, no longer in a hurry to attack.

And just like that, a few days passed. The two sides remain at a stalemate.

Since it is infantry, the speed is not fast. After a few days, Liu Yuan and his entourage arrived at Hujiazhuang.

When the daughter and son-in-law came home, of course the old man was happy and held a banquet to welcome him.

During the banquet, Liu Yuan briefly introduced the current situation in Wu County and stated the purpose of the trip.

"Want to invite Teacher Luan and the Zhu brothers out of the mountain? Before, because of Sanniang's marriage, we had some unhappiness with Zhujiazhuang, otherwise it would not be a matter to ask them to help. It's a bit hard to do right now. The virtuous son-in-law is the Taishou of Wu County, and we belong to the jurisdiction of Jiujiang County, and you can't recruit troops here. But it doesn't matter, I don't want to show this old face, and I want to help my son-in-law. "Hu Lao Dao.

"Father-in-law Lao is worried, there is no need to rush this matter for a moment. I'll go with you when it's convenient for you. Liu Yuandao.

"The situation in Wu County is so chaotic that it can't be delayed. After eating, I will take you and your wife to Zhujiazhuang. "Hu Lao clapper.

An hour later, Hu Lao took Liu Yuan and his wife into Zhujiazhuang and walked straight to Zhu Lao's residence.

"Old man Hu, now that your son-in-law is developed, what are you still doing here?" The voice of the elder came from inside the house.

"I'm here to give you a prosperous life." Hu Lao said as he entered the house, and Liu Yuan and his wife followed.

Zhu Lao hadn't seen Liu Yuan, but when he saw Hu Sanniang, he guessed it. His eyes widened, and he said, "I don't know if Lord Wu Jun Taishou came to the cold house, what advice do you have?" ”

Liu Yuan heard that Zhu Lao's tone was flat, so he didn't reply, this time it mainly depends on Lao Taishan.

"We've been friends for decades, what's the matter, don't give me any good looks?" Hu Lao Dao.

"You don't give me face, and you still want my good face?" I wish the old man not to eat the old one.

"What? The wealth sent to the door, don't want it? Hu Lao asked deliberately.

Zhu Lao saw that Hu Lao came with Liu Yuan, and he had already guessed their purpose for four or five points. At this time, he knew that Hu Lao had something to say, so he didn't say much.

Old fox! Hu Lao slandered in his heart.

There's no way, there are requests for people, don't think about face.

Hu Lao told Zhu Lao the general situation of the matter.

Zhu Lao heard this and sneered: "It turned out that it was begged for us, Old Man Hu, you are so thick-skinned!" ”

"We need your help, but it's not gratuitous, son-in-law, you show Zhu Lao our sincerity." Hu Lao Dao.

"I wish you a good day, this time, Zhujiazhuang does not need to send troops, just a few generals. As soon as the military generals of Zhujiazhuang came under my command, I directly gave them the position of minister and commanded 1,000 people. As long as Qu'a's rebellion can be suppressed, I will apply for the title of Wupin General for them, and I will do my best to facilitate this matter. Liu Yuandao.

You must know that although Zhujiazhuang is strong, it is still a common people. The minister's attraction to them is still great. Liu Yuan believed that Zhu Lao would not be rash and would seriously consider his own opinions.

Sure enough, Zhu Lao did not immediately refuse.

"Who do you need?" He asked.

"We would like to invite Teacher Luan and your son-in-law to come out." Liu Yuandao.

Luan Tingyu is what Liu Yuan desperately needs. But for Zhujiazhuang, Luan Tingyu is an outsider after all. Zhu Lao definitely hopes that his son can become a minister or a general of Wupin. Therefore, of course, Liu Yuan had to invite them together. Moreover, the three heroes of the Zhu family are all second-level top generals, and they can also give Liu Yuan a lot of help.

"I know what you mean, I'll think about it. Come on, take the old man to rest. Zhu Lao didn't say more, and sent the guests off directly.

Several people walked out of Zhu Lao's residence and walked towards the guest room.

"Sanniang, are you here?" A voice came, slightly hesitant.

The three of them raised their eyes and saw that it was Zhu Biao.

Hu Sanniang and Zhu Biao looked at each other. The two of them who have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, at this time, they don't know what to say.

After a while, Zhu Biao reacted first and said, "Brother Hu Lao, Sanniang, and Liu Yuan, why are you here?" ”

Zhu Biao's attitude was still very kind, and Liu Yuan's heart moved slightly.

Hu Sanniang told Zhu Biao about the matter.

"It's okay with this, I'll go talk to my father." Zhu Biao actually promised.

I didn't care about the previous suspicions at all, and agreed so easily. For this broad-minded man, Liu Yuan couldn't help but have a trace of admiration. After that, he was a little embarrassed.

snatched Hu Sanniang from such a man, and Liu Yuan also felt a little guilty in his heart. How to make up for it? Liu Yuan suddenly remembered that Gu Daaxe's sister was more attractive than Hu Sanniang, and she was also from Jiangmen and had certain martial arts. So, why not introduce his sister to Zhu Biao?

It's a doable thing. Gu Daaxe's younger sister is now almost fifteen years old. Of course, Gu Daaxe's house is on the outskirts of Luoyang, far away from Jiujiang County, Yangzhou. So whether this thing can be done or not is not certain. However, Liu Yuan had already decided to send someone to ask Gu Daaxe and his mother what they meant, and whether he was willing to marry his sister and daughter so far.
