Under the city of Xuzhou, the Zhao military camp stretched for several miles.

In the early morning, there was smoke burning in the camp of the Zhao army, and a dozen people gathered in an open space near the city wall, with an iron horse bowl on top of the open space and firewood burning below. Looking at the white smoke around the iron horse bowl, and listening to the gurgling sound, the soldiers and soldiers on the side were all drooling.

Chen Asi picked up a wooden spoon and scooped it out and tasted it, nodded and said, "It looks cooked." ”

"I want it!" As soon as a young soldier got up, he was kicked away by the veteran next to him and scolded: "Boss Chen didn't eat, what are you anxious about." ”

"Recruit eggs, get out of the rear, you can lick the bottom of the pot after we finish eating." Laughter and scolding came from the side.

The recruit covered his buttocks, and could only be so aggrieved that he didn't dare to speak out.

Chen Asi didn't say anything, took off his helmet and scooped a few spoonfuls of steaming millet porridge with a spoon and said, "Everyone has it, the porridge is enough." ”

Seeing that Chen Asi finished scooping, the soldiers on the side all went to scoop up the porridge, and several soldiers who scooped up the meat immediately smiled, squatted aside with their helmets in their hands, and snorted and sucked the porridge along the edge of the helmet. Even the recruits, who were kicked at the beginning, got some clear soup and little water, and ate and drank contentedly.

One person said: "This porridge is really happy, and it is more comfortable than eating dumplings at home during the New Year." ”

Another said: "Not yet, although this porridge and rice is a little rough, but we always have a bowl of warm food to eat here, but the Jianghuai army in the city is different, I heard the people of the white army say, a few days ago I caught a tongue, saying that the siege of the city for more than half a month, the city is about to run out of food, and the soldiers guarding the city only have two taels of food a day." ”

"In this way, the Jianghuai army can't eat enough. They still fight with us, and it seems that we don't need to do anything. This Xuzhou City will also surrender without a fight. ”

The recruit Danzi asked: "If this Xuzhou City surrenders, won't we have to attack the city?" ”

One of the veterans shouted, "Don't dare." If we don't have to attack the city, there is no way to kill people, and if we don't kill people, where will we get the merits of war. ”

The recruit said, "But if we attack the city, we will also die." ”

"Damn, dare to talk back!" The veteran kicked it again. The recruit was wearing a helmet containing porridge and was kicked on his body.

Chen Asi couldn't look at it and said, "Don't get it." ”

Listening to the guy's words, the veteran stopped.

The person on the side asked, "Boss Chen, come back." We won't have our share in the siege this time. ”

Chen Asi shook his head and said, "Probably not." ”

Since the army, Chen Asi has been assigned by the battalion, either to escort the baggage, or to take care of the military rations, and rarely goes into battle to fight the enemy head-on.

Chen Asi knew his temperament, and he joined the army to fight, just to eat a bite to eat and support his mother, and he didn't want to fight for his life. Meritorious service awards. He didn't think about it, so he was a soldier for so long, and with the Son of Heaven attacking Luoyang, he crossed the sea to conquer Goguryeo. The other captains are all promoted, and he is still waiting for the captain.

It was not in any way different from his brother. The other party is now a brigade leader, and he can be regarded as a high-ranking official in the Zhao army.

But just go with the flow. After two more years of fighting, I have almost saved up my money. applied to the imperial court to withdraw from the military. Even if you withdraw from the military, you will not be exempt from taxes. But with his savings in the past few years, it is no problem to do anything casually, make a small business, and support his mother. It's just that it's a bit difficult to marry a daughter-in-law.

Who calls him a native of Youjing, everyone says that it is not easy to live in Chang'an, and the same is true of Youjing. He is old Chen in Youjing, even if he is a girl from a small family, he is very married, but it doesn't matter, it's still casual to find a foreigner.

"Who is it?" One of the soldiers roared abruptly, his ass off the ground.

Chen Asi's body was as if he had been bitten by a snake, and he reacted very quickly, and immediately buckled the helmet that was serving the meal just now on the top of his head to protect his head first, and then pulled out the knife. The soldiers on the side also got up one after another, picked up the bows and arrows beside them, and faced the outside of the camp.

"I see you, don't hide, or I'll release the arrow."

At this time, on the trench of the camp, a man gradually stood up, and said with a cower: "Don't let go of the arrows, I'm here to surrender, I can't walk without smelling your porridge!" ”

Looking at the other party's appearance, Chen Asi didn't dare to relax his vigilance and asked, "Just you?" ”

The man said, "I'm not alone, all the brethren, get up." ”

At that moment, many people from near and far got up from the trench, and there were hundreds of people from a distance.

Chen Asi was frightened in a cold sweat, if this Jianghuai army came to sneak attack, where would he die.

Inside the camp of the Zhao Army.

Li Chongjiu and several generals of the Zhao army were discussing military affairs and having dinner at the same time. A large pot of beef was boiling in the tent.

The military rations on the front line of Xuzhou were not very sufficient, Liang County was still in the hands of Li Tang, and its general Cheng Jiahui guarded Kaifeng, cutting off the Bianshui, so that the Tongji Canal was not opened. Therefore, the rations of the Zhao army had to be transported to the front line from the rear through 6 routes. The cow that Li Chongjiu was eating also broke its leg a few days ago when he was packing, so the soldiers killed it and gave Li Chongjiu food.

The beef in the pot was already boiling, and the tent was full of aroma, Li Chongjiu asked a few Jianghuai soldiers kneeling on the ground under the tent: "I heard that there was a fight in the city yesterday?" ”

The soldier was already hungry when he smelled the beef soup, and when he heard Li Chongjiu speak, he nodded again and again: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

Li Chongjiu smiled gently: "Don't be nervous, talk well, come on, scoop a bowl of beef soup for him first." ”

"No!"

On the side, Tingwei scooped a bowl of soup to the other party, and as soon as the other party took the bowl, he couldn't wait to drink it. A bowl is only a moment to the bottom, with this bowl of soup to cushion the stomach, this person is still not full of courage to say: "Begging Your Majesty Xià to give another bowl!" ”

"Presumptuous!" The general of the Zhao army on the side scolded.

Li Chongjiu pressed the table and smiled: "It's okay, this cow is a little old, you have to cook it a little more to make it taste good, if you answer my question honestly, you can eat enough for a while." ”

"No!" The Jianghuai sergeant was overjoyed and bowed down again.

Li Chongjiu asked, "What's your name?" Where are the people? In which year did you vote for the JAC Army? ”

"Returning to His Majesty, a certain name is Gao Yihu, a native of Gaojia Village, Danyang, who killed our party leader five years ago and fled abroad. Later, when I heard that King Wu was recruiting troops in Danyang, I voted for him. Over the years, he has accumulated merit and served as a former lieutenant under General Simon. ”

"The captain is also a general, the general Ximen you are talking about, but Ximen Junyi?"

The man said happily: "I didn't expect that Your Majesty had actually heard the name of General Ximen, yes, it was General Ximen, but it was a pity that General Ximen died at the hands of Fu Gongyou last night." ”

Li Chongjiu said: "So last night's fight in the city was that Fu Gongyou sent troops to kill Ximen Junyi?" ”

"It can also be said that it was done by Fu Gongyou, Your Majesty, after the city learned that Danyang was captured, people were panicked, and Ximen Junyi's wife and children were in Danyang. So he asked Fu Gongyou to break through, but Fu Gongyou refused, and there was a dispute in the court. Afterwards, several people who were disgruntled with Fu Gongyou contacted General Shangximen to carry out a mutiny. ”

"Then General Simon agreed?"

"I don't know the specifics of this general, but I think General Ximen has always been loyal to King Wu, and King Wu was killed by Wang Shibi, although everyone didn't say it on their faces, but they all suspected that Fu Gongyou was manipulating behind his back. Therefore, General Ximen is not for himself, but also for the revenge of King Wu. ”

Li Chongjiu's index finger lightly clasped on the table and said, "Your explanation is reasonable." So General Simon was killed by Fu Gongyou because he failed to admonish him, could it be that the matter was leaked? ”

The man sighed and said: "It's no wonder that General Ximen was careless, one of those people was Fu Gongyou's henchman, he deliberately took this opportunity to test General Ximen, and then contacted the people in the city who opposed Fu Gongyou to rebel together, giving Fu Gongyou a chance to catch them all." ”

"You guessed it?" Zhang Xuansu asked rhetorically on the side.

The man: "Do you still need to guess?" Several generals who contacted General Simon did not cause any incident, and when Fu Gongyou led the Shangzheng camp to kill, General Simon led our brothers to fight alone, and we all shouted that our throats were broken, and no one came to the rescue. In the end, in order not to involve the brothers, General Simon surrendered to Fu Gongyou, and his own life was exchanged for the brothers of our battalion. ”

At this point, the man couldn't help but weep.

Li Chongjiu said with emotion: "I see, that Fu Gongyou was also careless and let you escape?" ”

The man lowered his head and said, "Almost, after Fu Gongyou killed General Ximen, he pretended to tell us that only General Ximen was killed, and the rest will not be investigated." Afterwards, he took a few lieutenants in the camp who were loyal to General Simon and locked them up. Seeing the opportunity, he fled with his brothers, saving his life. ”

"What about the other generals in the city?"

"It's not very clear about this, I heard that the little general Kan Ling was also taken."

Li Chongjiu nodded with satisfaction, and immediately said: "Reward him and a few of his brothers, one person and one bowl of beef!" ”

"Thank you!" Several people were now full of gratitude, and walked out of the tent with bowls.

After these people left, Li Chongjiu said to the generals in the big tent: "There is news from Luoyang, although the Li Tang North Route Army was blocked on the north bank of the Yellow River, but the South Road Army is violent. ”

These two generals are not generals, Zhang Gongjin needless to say, Wang Yaohan is the brother of Wagang general Wang Bodang, although his reputation is not as good as his brother, but he is also a veteran from Wagang.

Hearing Li Chongjiu say this, all the generals were surprised, as Li Tang's main force, the North Road Army was blocked, but the partial division that was not favored before, Li Tang's South Road Army fought so well under the leadership of Li Xiaogong and Li Jing.

Everyone knows that when the Tiger Prison Pass is cut off, Luoyang will fall into death.

Li Chongjiu said with a straight face: "So we can't drag it out in Xuzhou any longer, we must fight a decisive battle, solve the current enemy's rear and draw troops to the east to reinforce Luoyang!" (To be continued......)
