I saw that in the west direction, a team of tens of thousands of thieves rushed into the formation of Li Ying's army from the flank of Li Yingbu like a torrent, and Li Yingbu tore together with Li Yingbu, this sudden appearance of thieves suddenly disrupted the deployment of the Ming army, and the Ming army that was originally ready to charge in the direction of the south gate was hurriedly transferred to deal with the thieves on this flank, so that the Ming army that had rushed to the city became a live target for the thieves at the head of the city due to the lack of follow-up bow and arrow cover, and a large number of casualties were killed and injured in a blink of an eye.

The roar of the guerrilla general Li Ying penetrated the crowd and reached the ears of Xu Liang and the others, who looked at each other. Wu Zhiwang's lips trembled and he exclaimed, "What's going on? Then he hurriedly ordered his pro-soldier battalion general: "Quick, you lead the pro-battalion to pick up General Li Ying and block the flank for him!" ”

The general responded, hurriedly ran out, beckoned, and ordered five hundred soldiers to rush towards the city.

Suddenly, Hong Chengchou's eyes widened angrily, and he pointed to the city and said, "It's too late!" ”

Xu Liang and Wu Zhiwang hurriedly looked at the city, their faces became even whiter, only to see the south gate of the city wide open, and a team of thousands of cavalry rushed out of the city, swept into the front of the two armies, after the cavalry, the black pressure of the foot monster screamed and rushed out of the city.

Li Yingbu was attacked by thieves on both sides, and retreated in defeat, and after a few defeats, it turned into a rout, and countless Ming troops turned their guns and fled. Seeing this, the pro-soldier department of the Governor's Mansion who rushed to the middle of the road turned his horse's head sharply, returned to Governor Wu, and escorted the three of Governor Wu to retreat.

The Battle of the Siege of Pingliang was a failure. The defeat was inexplicable.

Xu Liang retreated to the vicinity of Jingzhou with the pro-military camp of Governor Wu and entered Jingzhou City, and the retreating Ming troops followed into the city. Dai Feng and Xing Zhongshan found Xu Liang in a rage, and asked repeatedly, "What's the matter?" How so? Seeing that the city gate is about to be broken, where are the thieves coming from? ”

Xu Liang spread his hands, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Don't ask me." I don't know. ”

The next day, Governor Wu gathered in Jingzhou County to discuss matters, and his face was as black as a charcoal fire. Xu Liang noticed that He Huchen, the chief soldier of Yansui, had a face almost the same as that of Governor Wu. The cheeks are bulging, and he is not lightly angry.

Governor Wu slapped the desk in front of him loudly, stared at General He and shouted angrily: "He Huchen! The siege was a failure. You are fully responsible! The governor made clear arrangements in advance, and the four armies each attacked one door, and under the attack from all sides, Pingliang City would inevitably be broken in one fell swoop. Why did you He Zongbing make his own assertion and abandon Pingliang to rush to Jingzhou? ”

General He pursed his lips and said in a humming voice: "General Ben has nothing to say, the Governor wants to ask, just go and ask the prince and Commander Ye!" ”

Governor Wu glanced at the prince of Dongchang with his unkind eyes. It fell on Ye Yanqing, the commander of Anton's central guard, and shouted in a deep voice: "General Ye, what's going on, say!" ”

Commander Ye immediately called out to hit the sky, and waved his hand again and again: "The last general is only fighting with General He's troops and rescuing Jingzhou, it is not the last general's idea, and the last general is also acting according to orders." With that, he took his eyes to glance at the prince of Dongchang who was sitting in danger.

When Governor Wu heard this, he stared at the last party. Asked, "Princess?" ”

Wang Tiqian, the head of the Dongchang stall, suddenly jumped up like a dog whose tail had been stepped on, and shouted: "March and fight." But the matter of a few leading generals, our family's stall head of the East Factory, has nothing to do with it! ”

He Huchen said angrily: "Wang Tiqian! General Ben was ordered to attack Pingliang, but you went halfway and insisted on rerouting to help Jingzhou! This is the mistake of the military aircraft and a big mistake! Now, Lord Governor is accountable, how can you push it all out?! ”

When the prince heard this, his sword eyebrows were upside down, and he stared coldly at the angry He Zongbing. The tip of his nose snorted and said, "Chief He!" Our family pursued the descendants of the Wei family by the emperor's order. The remnants of the eunuch party suddenly learned that the fourth young lady Li Ting was attacking Jingzhou City. Our emperor's life is in his body, what's wrong with being in a hurry to encircle and suppress the fourth lady? Besides, the army is in the hands of your General Soldier He, and our General Soldier can ignore it! ”

"You!" He Huchen was so angry that his eyes were split, and he glared at the prince as if he was going to swallow him alive, and laughed angrily: "Okay, good, what a castration, now it's all pushed backwards, and it has become the general's wrong." ”

"Bold!" The prince screamed, "Who are you scolding for castration? ”

"Whoever should be whomever is!" Mr. He was really open-minded, and snorted coldly.

Commander Ye got busy playing a round and said to He Huchen: "General He extinguishes the fire, don't be angry, everyone has something to discuss, it's good to discuss." ”

"Shut up!" He Huchen glared at Commander Ye angrily and scolded: "You are not a good thing!" ”

"You!" Commander Ye was insulted in public, and he was angry, and when he saw that General He was aggressive, he didn't dare to reply, and he was embarrassed for a while.

He Huchen arched his hand towards Wu Zhiwang, the governor of the three sides, and said in a stiff tone: "Your Excellency, the responsibility for the failure of this siege lies with a certain person He. With that, he turned his head and strode out of the county office.

Governor Wu raised his hand and shouted, "General He, where are you going?" ”

Outside the yamen, General He replied: "He is ashamed to discuss with the eunuchs and villains, one step ahead!" With that, he heard the sound of heavy footsteps in the distance.

In the hall, the prince of Dongchang jumped up and scolded at the door: "What does He Huchen mean by this? What is he going to do! Outrageous! ”

Commander Ye hurriedly comforted softly: "Father-in-law is angry, angry, beware of physical ......"

Governor Wu watched the prince jumping and splashing there, disgusted but unable to attack. He looked at the prince for a long time, sighed, and said: "Princess, marching and fighting is a major event for the military aircraft, and the father-in-law must not speak rashly and lightly in the future, and delay the military aircraft." ”

The prince turned his head to look at Governor Wu in surprise, was stunned, sank his face, and said, "What do you mean by this, Lord Governor?" Our family was ordered to run an errand, and that was also the minister of the Qin Mission, could it be that he couldn't command a small local general army? ”

Governor Wu was also angry, and snorted coldly: "This governor is the governor of the three sides, and he controls the military and civil affairs of the three sides. With that, he looked at the remaining generals in the hall.

"Yes, by the Governor's pardon!" The generals gave up.

"Our family is a minister! Our words also represent the emperor's intentions, and you have to listen to them! Seeing this, the prince also put on a majestic posture and shouted majestically. Speaking of patrolling the generals.

The generals sat upright, and no one answered.

"You guys?" Seeing this, the prince was not embarrassed, but he was not annoyed and angry, pointed at Wu Zhiwang, Hong Chengchou and others, and shouted fiercely: "You wait for our family!" ”

With that, the prince snorted and left.

The Governor of the Tang Dynasty suddenly shook his figure and sat down on the chair. Hong Chengchou sat closest to him, and when he saw this, he hurriedly ran over and shouted, "Lord Governor, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that Governor Wu's eyes were closed tightly and his lips were frighteningly blue, he hurriedly shouted: "Come on, Lord Governor is sick and fainted!" ”

The generals in the hall hurriedly surrounded them to check, and then rushed in from outside the hall with four personal soldiers from the governor's palace, carefully carrying Governor Wu out of the county hall and looking for a place for Governor Wu to rest. Hong Chengchou couldn't rest assured and followed.

There were only a few tiger generals and Xu Liang and others left in the hall, and the Qingyang garrison general He Renlong grinned and said: "The eunuch ran away, and the governor is also tired and collapsed, what should we do with the people in the house now?" Do you just wait silly, or do you go back to your own home? Why don't we put together two tables to play horse hanging? I haven't touched the cards for a long time, and my hands are itching tightly......"

No one answered. Commander Ye moved off the chair and walked away as if no one was around.

He Renlong didn't pay attention to himself, so he patted his ass and said to himself: "Come on, it's all gone, let's go too." ”

Then, several generals left. Only Xu Liang and Dai Feng are left in the hall, oh, and Lin Jialuo, the magistrate of Jingzhou. Lin Jialuo is the master's family, even if everyone else is gone, he can't leave, not to mention that there is a top boss, Pingliang and Lord Xu are there.

Xu Liang saw what happened in the hall in his eyes, and saw that a good battle was destroyed in his hands by a Dongchang stall, and he felt sorry in his heart. Thinking of the reason why the thieves went to Tianlong, crossed the sky, Shen Yikui, Wang Zuogui and the fourth lady were able to gather all the troops to take advantage of the weakness to capture Pingliang in one fell swoop, at first it was also because this prince transferred most of the troops of Anton's central guard, and couldn't help but secretly hate this broom-like prince, thinking that he must pay attention to guarding against this dead eunuch in the future.

Lin Jialuo, the magistrate of Jingzhou, stepped forward, arched his hand and smiled at Xu Liang: "Lin Jialuo, the magistrate of Jingzhou, has seen Lord Tongzhi. ”

Xu Liang said with a smile: "Brother Lin, why do you want to see the outside world like this, you and I are old acquaintances, wouldn't it be a part of mentioning the same knowledge?" ”

Lin Zhixian smiled gently, "This is different, my lord is now in the fifth grade, and his status is not the same as in the past, this gift cannot be abolished." ”

Xu Liang smiled and introduced Dai Feng to Lin Jialuo.

Lin Zhixian knew that the guerrilla general Dai Feng must be Xu Liang's confidant, so he refused to slack off and gave gifts again and again. The three of them chatted for a while, Xu Liang yawned, and asked: "Brother Lin, this official has been tired for a day, and his body is tired, but he has to find a place to rest, the governor is in poor health, and it is inconvenient for this official to disturb, and please look at Brother Lin, and report to me in time if there is news." ”

"Yes, don't worry, sir." Lin Zhixian responded.

Xu Liang and Dai Feng went out of Jingzhou County, first went to the Liang military camp to inspect it, and when they saw that there was nothing to do, they found a military tent and prepared to lie down for a while.

I was about to fall asleep in a daze, when I suddenly heard someone outside the tent shouting a report, Xu Liang got up and shouted outside the tent: "What's the matter?" ”

"General, the Governor is awake, please come over." (To be continued)
