Chapter 148: The Zhu brothers appeared

Speaking of the back, although Guo Dazhong knew that he was wrong to blame Sun Dingshi, he didn't have the heart to think about it so much, because he was already frightened, hurriedly knelt down on his knees, and distinguished: "General, it's not that his subordinates are incompetent, his subordinates have begun to set up carrier pigeons in various places according to the general's opinion, but carrier pigeons have not yet been popularized." Moreover, it needs to be fixed in a fixed location, and it needs to be personally surveyed by spies before sending it over. Ignorance still needs to be verified, so it's too late! ”

Li Cunhuan frowned a little distressedly, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, are there any other wars about Qizhou?" If you haven't verified it, say it! ”

"Yes!" Guo Dazhong hurriedly answered, half-closed his eyes, and after a while, he spoke: "Ge Congzhou has not done anything since he broke through the three camps. However, the subordinates of this news don't know whether it's true or not, after all, Ge Congzhou should now take advantage of the victory to pursue. ”

"Well, this news should be true, although Wang Shifan has suffered a big loss, his foundation is still there, and he still has nearly 40,000 horses in his hands. In addition, the Qingzhou soldiers are good at bows and crossbows, if it weren't for the loss of the enemy before, I'm afraid that Ge Congzhou would still be wandering outside Wang Shifan's camp now. Li Cunhuan nodded slightly and muttered. However, it may also be fake, you can send someone to verify this news! ”

"Yes!" Guo Dazhong wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, and continued to speak: "According to the news from Yunzhou, Zhu Xuan has decided to send troops and set off with an army of 10,000 four days ago, but his speed is not fast, and it is estimated that he is also afraid of being copied by Zhu Wen. ”

Li Cunhuan nodded noncommittally, and then Guo Dazhong said a few more news that did not have much impact. Li Cunhuan waved his hand and signaled that Guo Dazhong could go down.

Closing his eyes and pondering for a long time, Han Yanhui suddenly exclaimed.

Li Cunhuan opened his eyes and looked at Han Yanhui with some dissatisfaction, Han Yanhui was not afraid, he was not afraid of Li Cunhuan like others. Don't look at Li Cunhuan, although he is sometimes very majestic, he is just a twenty-year-old boy in the end, and he is still no different from ordinary people in ordinary life.

Li Cunhuan smiled a little helplessly, and said, "What are you exclaiming, this kid!" ”

Han Yanhui waved the letter paper in front of Li Cunhuan, pointed to a place and said, "That Wang Shifan is really generous!" is willing to cede Dizhou (now Huimin County, Shandong), which is a fertile Shangzhou! It is also an important strategic location, and he is ceding the land in the lower reaches of the Yellow River to you! Then in the future, Pinglu will have to face Lu Long's attack, and there will be less of the Yellow River, and only the Jishui moat will remain! He Wang Shifan is really decisive enough! Phew! Phew! A strong man's broken wrist is really not something that ordinary people can do! ”

When Li Cunhuan heard this, he said with a smile: "Others are so wise! It's okay if you don't admire it. You kid is gloating! ”

"That's not schadenfreude, I'm happy! And I'm glad for you! When Han Yanhui heard this, he responded dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to be too presumptuous, and restrained the color on his face.

Li Cunhuan is still a little helpless about this smart and rebellious 'secretary', sometimes Li Cunhuan laughs at himself for being too talented? Actually indulge this guy so much.

On 21 February, spring plowing in Qingzhou had come to an end, but the war had just begun. The brothers Zhu Xuan and Zhu Jin brought 20,000 troops plus nearly 40,000 Qingzhou soldiers in the hands of Wang Shifan, and they had already achieved an overwhelming advantage in terms of troops. More important is the elite soldiers and horses in the hands of Zhu Xuan and Zhu Jin brothers.

The soldiers and horses of the brothers Zhu Xuan and Zhu Jin are different from the Qingzhou soldiers, and they have been fighting for years from the Huangchao Uprising to the present. first Huang Chao, then Qin Zongquan, and finally Zhu Wen now. After more than ten years of campaigning, although the soldiers under the two brothers were prepared to be in tatters, the fierce momentum was not possessed by the Qingzhou soldiers.

Ge Congzhou saw the brothers Zhu Xuan and Zhu Jin who were slowly pressing up, and did not take a hard approach, but let the army slowly withdraw from the camp that had been occupied and return to the camp he had set up.

The arrival of Zhu Xuan and Zhu Jin greatly boosted the morale of the Qingzhou soldiers, and the next day the Qingzhou soldiers fought in the field with the Bianbing soldiers. But who is Ge Congzhou? may not be able to defeat the opposing coalition army, but he made up his mind to entangle the other party, and as a result, a day of fierce fighting, in the end, no one was helpless, and there were casualties on each other. However, overall, it was the brothers Zhu Xuan and Zhu Jin who had the upper hand, after all, they had the advantage in strength. Although the casualties on both sides were about the same, the strength of the coalition side was twice that of Ge Congzhou.

The next day, Ge Congzhou strictly guarded the camp, and not a single soldier was killed, and Ren Na Zhu Xuan and Zhu Jin greeted the eighteenth generation of his ancestors' female surnames. is not a single soldier, so that the Zhu brothers are helpless.

After a day of scolding and fighting, the coalition troops were also tired, and when it was dusk, they collected their troops and returned to the camp.

The sky slowly darkened, and when the sky slowly turned into a silent night, suddenly a horse galloped out of the night, and saw that he was in a hurry, pulling an empty horse with one hand, and whipping the horse with the other, and from time to time he glanced vigilantly in all directions.

Suddenly, the war horse neighed in pain, and suddenly the horse stumbled its front hooves, and the knight exclaimed, accompanied by the war horse falling to the ground. In the half-man-high barren grass, a dozen or so people suddenly poured out, all armed with large swords and spears. If someone looks closely at this time, they will also find a black tripwire between the wild grass on both sides.

…………

"Hah! Ha! Ha! Ge Manzi knows that he is scared this time! Zhu Xuan laughed and raised the letter in his hand.

Zhu Jin and Wang Shifan took the letter in Zhu Xuan's hand at the same time, and the two heads came together to read it carefully, it turned out to be Ge Congzhou's letter to Zhu Wen asking for help, the handwriting in the book was very sloppy, and it was obviously very anxious.

The letter not only said that today's war was at a disadvantage, but also said that there were only 10 days of food left in the army. even threatened that if Zhu Wen did not come to the rescue, he Ge Congzhou would surrender to Zhu Xuan and Zhu Jin with an army of 30,000. If Zhu Wen dared to kill his parents, he would have killed Zhu Wen's son Zhu Hanbin from Zhou.

Zhu Jin patted his thigh and laughed after seeing it, and at the same time did not forget to send someone to order to intercept Ge Congzhou's back road to prevent Ge Congzhou from breaking through, then there would be less chance to retaliate against this sworn enemy!

Wang Shifan wondered, why was Ge Congzhou so polite when he spoke? You must know that if you want to count loyalty, Ge Congzhou is definitely one of the best under Zhu Wen.

…………

"Has the letter been intercepted?" Ge Congzhou asked expressionlessly.

"It has been intercepted, and it is estimated that the two pigs (Zhu) are now smirking in the big tent of the Chinese army!" The corners of Gong Yue's mouth showed a touch of triumphant response.

"Hmm!" Ge Congzhou's serious face couldn't help but show a smug smile.
