After a simple and hot full meal, Wu Qing wiped his mouth, and after talking about the existing army situation in Chuzhou, he mentioned what he saw along the way: along the way, there were not many Zhou soldiers encountered, mainly concentrated in Qingliuguan and Haozhou, especially Haozhou, tens of thousands of Zhou soldiers were besieged and were desperately attacking, and they looked precarious.

In this regard, Lin Feng shook his head lightly and signaled that Haozhou was fine. Although Lin Feng suffered a big loss under Guo Tingwei, the assassin of Haozhou, and left a lot of injuries, but Guan Guo Yan said that he definitely has two brushes, if Lin Feng is asked to choose the most difficult city in Jiangbei and Huainan, in addition to Shouzhou, Haozhou will be the first difficult to attack, especially after he wrote to remind this second generation of officials who are proud on the outside and calm on the inside.

"By the way, my subordinates observed the western camp of the Zhou army and found that the overall security was not too strict, but I was afraid that Guo Wei, the emperor of the Zhou State, had left the barracks and returned to China." Wu Qing reported again.

Lin Feng nodded in agreement with this inference. With the end of the attack and defense of Shouzhou, the Jiangbei and Huainan battles have actually formed a stalemate, Guo Wei left Tokyo City this time, fought in the east and killed in the west, and then marched south, it has been a long time, and it is logical to return to Tokyo City to sit down.

Subsequently, Lin Feng asked a few more details, and asked Wu Qing to take a break and write a secret letter to the King of Qi by himself.

On November 11, Wu Qing hid in the special garbage truck and went out of the city again, hiding in the garbage heap. That night, the head of Shouzhou City suddenly had torches everywhere, and the city head was crowded, and the patrol Zhou soldiers, who had long been accustomed to the calm and quiet state in the city for several days, were like facing a great enemy, and hurriedly reported to Shangguan.

Taking advantage of the chaos for a while, Wu Qing looked at the vacancy of the patrol soldiers under the quasi-city, and quickly disappeared into the darkness.

After that, Wu Qing went west around Anfengtang, then Luzhou and Hezhou, all the way in a hurry, and finally rushed back to Chuzhou City on the night of November 15. Seeing that the defense of the Zhou army in the next city was empty, he slipped to the northeast corner tower of the city wall, let out three birdsongs, and the brothers who had been waiting at the head of the city were taken into the city, and rushed to the Assassin's Mansion to meet the King of Qi.

Li Jingsui met with Wu Qing as soon as possible, and asked how the battle in Shouzhou was.

"Big win! Shouzhou big win! Shouzhou not only did not lose the city defense, but also destroyed more than 50,000 enemies, and its own casualties were only 10,000! Wu Qing hurriedly replied, and under Li Jingsui's questioning, he told the process and details of the offensive and defensive battle.

During the narration, the Minister of Culture and Military Affairs of Chuzhou arrived one after another when he heard the news, and the good news spread quickly, and the group in the study was very excited, and the gloomy atmosphere that had been like this winter haze weather suddenly became much brighter. The account is already very well calculated - the Zhou army has a total of only 200,000, and it has been folded by a quarter under the city of Shouzhou, and at least a quarter must be left to continue to besiege Shouzhou, and it is not so difficult to deal with only 100,000 soldiers left!

Li Jingsui opened the letter and read it carefully.

Slowly, someone noticed Li Jingsui's strange appearance of sometimes being happy and sometimes frowning, and secretly reminded each other, and the study was quiet for a moment.

After reading the letter, Li Jingsui folded the thick more than ten pieces of paper, put it in his arms, looked up and said: "Lord Lin pointed out that after the end of the attack and defense of Shouzhou, Jiangbei and Huainan have entered the stage of strategic stalemate!" As long as we hold on, we will soon be able to usher in the stage of strategic counteroffensive, and victory is just around the corner! ”

The ministers of civil and military affairs were full of joy.

Li Jingsui frowned slightly, motioned for everyone to be quiet, and continued: "But Lord Lin emphasized that entering the stage of stalemate is more difficult than some time ago. ”

Of course, this is what Li Jingsui has tactfully embellished. In the letter, Lin Feng learned the profound lesson of the traitors in the stage of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in later generations, and said it very bluntly and explicitly: In the stage of stalemate, it is the easiest to have an accident! The generals of the Tang Army and the military and political chiefs in various places are uneven, and there must be people who are not firm enough in their thinking, not broad enough in their horizons, unable to see the development trend of the war, unable to withstand the pressure, unable to withstand demagoguery, and are very likely to defect to the enemy! If this is the case in one place, there will be many imitators, and the balance may be broken in an instant, bringing immeasurable consequences to the Tang Dynasty, and it is possible to lose the battle, lose the land, and destroy the country!

Of course, Lin Feng just nodded unceremoniously, and asked King Qi to be the master of what to do.

"Everyone go to prepare early, and go out of the city at noon tomorrow to invite the battle!" King Qi got up and said, and the other civil and military hurriedly took the order, but they were all puzzled, what does this mean? I just said that all parts of the country should hold on, why is Chuzhou preparing to go out of the city to fight now?

Wu Qing, who was at the bottom of the scene, saw that the military discussion was about to disperse, and hurriedly knelt forward and asked King Qi to fulfill his previous promise and allow him to lead the team to the battle. This happened to be the thing that Lin Feng specifically pointed out his support at the end of the letter, and Li Jingsui agreed in front of the generals, and authorized Wu Qing to select five hundred elites in the army and act on his own.

Wu Qing, who had already made up his mind, did not delay for a moment, rushed to the temporary military camp with the warrant of King Qi, and found the life and death brothers of Du Lieutenant Tao Chun, Du Tou Zou Shengping, and Xin Fangge who had gone to the top of Qingliuguan Mountain with him, divided into more than a dozen groups, and went to various military camps in the city to encourage the elite of each army to sign up for the assault team.

On the 16th, in addition to the 327 defenders of the original Qingliu Pass who arrived early, another 146 soldiers arrived in front of the Chuzhou military camp on time.

Just after the announcement, Wu Qing, who had finished counting the number of people, went out directly and shouted: "Four hundred and seventy-three brothers! From today on, we are good brothers who serve the country loyally and live and die together! ”

Tao Chun, Zou Shengping, and Xin Fangge immediately raised their arms and shouted: "Serve the country loyally, life and death go hand in hand!" ”

The uniform shouts immediately cheered everyone at the scene, and also attracted the soldiers who were doing morning exercises in the barracks, and their eyes all drifted to this side.

"First of all, I would like to tell you a piece of good news - Lord Lin Fenglin has personally promised that from this moment on, we will all be included in the Shouzhou Special Forces sequence! In the future, the big and small merits of the Lin adults will be honored as promised according to the special forces treatment! ”

Since the establishment of Lin Feng, the special forces' combat exploits and generous treatment can be said to be known to everyone, and no one knows it! This was indeed great news, and the brothers immediately raised their arms and shouted again!

"I'm sure everyone already knows! Lord Lin Fenglin sat in Shouzhou City and won consecutive battles, and had annihilated at least 50,000 Zhou troops, so that the emperor of the Zhou State who was personally in charge did not dare to mention the siege of the city again, and even hid his face and retreated to Tokyo's nest! Wu Qing smiled and continued to raise his voice, "Everyone should remember that just last year, Lord Lin led thirty brothers to take the Chu State and made a shocking achievement!" This year, he easily recovered the city of Quanzhang, and then recaptured Fuzhou and Chaozhou, and his military achievements are unparalleled! Following a military god like Lord Lin, we will surely become the heroes of the Tang Dynasty that are recited all over the world! ”

The wild shouts and strange roars of the brothers became louder.

"By now, everyone will no longer doubt Lord Lin's wisdom and wisdom, right?" Wu Qing suddenly raised his voice and shouted.

"No!" Tao Chun led the brothers and yelled.

"No, that's right! Before returning from Shouzhou, Lord Lin personally told me, let me tell everyone, don't look at the enemy making trouble now, sooner or later I will make a list with them! What they eat now will surely be spit out twice as much in the future! Wu Qing repeated Lin Feng's original words to him.

These humorous words, which were very much in line with Lin's characteristics, immediately caused even more laughter and strange screams.

Wu Qing jumped to the tethered stone in front of the barracks, raised his arms and shouted: "Lord Lin dominates the world, what is the basis?" It is the wisdom and strategy that is unparalleled in the world, and it is the courage and belief to move forward! Now, you sue me, do you have any confidence that Datang will win the final victory? ”

"Yes!" A flash flood response.

"The wolf roars for thousands of miles to eat meat, and the eagle soars thousands of miles to eat meat! From now on, we must be wolves across the grassland, eagles in the sky, and heroes on the battlefield in the north and south of the Yangtze River! To be a hero in the army admired by the world! Wu Qing shouted at the end. Now, let's give you a morning to go back to the camp for dinner, and gather at the East City Gate at noon! ”

The brothers agreed and left excitedly, and many of the Southern Tang soldiers who came to watch were silent and slowly dispersed.

At noon, the west gate of Chuzhou City, which had been closed for many days, suddenly opened, and the Southern Tang Dynasty forbidden army with bright armor and bright armor fought out of the city under the cover of the bow and crossbow at the head of the city!
