Lin Feng didn't think much of the news that the northern army was moving south, which moved his cronies at all, since ancient times, the siege of the city was "ten sieges, five attacks, and multiple battles," even if 200,000 people came in the next week, it was less than four times the total number of defenders in Shouzhou, plus the people of the whole city, what was there to be afraid of?!

Lin Feng groaned slightly, went back to the study and wrote a few urgent letters, handed them to Zhao Tianba to arrange for the soldiers to be delivered to the target as soon as possible, and led a group of brothers to inspect the defense work again.

At this moment, the forward team of the 160,000 army of Hou Zhou had just arrived at the boundary of Chenzhou.

The morning before, the Later Zhou Emperor Guo Wei held a brief expedition at the south gate of Kaifeng, Tokyo, to worship the Zhongshu Shilang and Pingzhangshi Li Gu for the Huainan Road camp before the deployment of the army, on behalf of himself to lead the army of the southern expedition, and at the same time divided the twelve generals of the camp to unify the army.

Li Gu, who took over the handsome seal, immediately made overall arrangements for the whole army to go south: the whole army was divided into three parts: the vanguard, the middle army, and the rear army, each army was five miles apart, and the daily march was eighty miles, and the meals were cooked and camped regularly! During the march, strictly abide by the "seven prohibitions and fifty-four beheadings", and those who dare to violate it will not be spared! The general of the camp and the inner temple knew that Li Chongjin was the vanguard officer, and led 10,000 forbidden troops and 10,000 returned to the German army, and opened the way in front of the head.

As soon as these orders came out, the dissatisfaction of the bigwigs in the army, including the Jiedu envoy, the deputy envoy of Jiedu, and the general in the army, almost erupted: Not to mention that a sour and rotten literati was made to be the commander of the unified army, this person is still dead to pick out the dogmas in the ancient books, but this is in our Great Zhou land, can we be so cautious and careful? Isn't this taking off your pants and farting?!

Complaining is complaining, but the first order of the new official must be listened to, and the bigwigs from all walks of life have to gather their subordinates and line up to march.

On the evening of the 21st, the army camped for the first time, and the dissatisfaction of the bigwigs who accompanied the Chinese army was even greater: Li Gu and Chenzhou stabbed Shi Xianggong and Defense Shi Yao Yuanfu in a hurry, and actually led a group of pen and knife officials in the tent to check the situation of each army responsible for each section of the camp one by one, and pointed out on the spot that several places were not tightly tied enough.

At this moment, not only the bigwigs involved felt very faceless, but even those soldiers were very angry: Lao Tzu ran away for a day with all kinds of things on his back, and you officials sat on the horses and were excellent, but at this moment they were still trying to toss Lao Tzu! This is a plain, where can I find so many thick woods for walls?

Angry, these soldiers can only cheer up and continue to rebuild the wall.

On the morning of the 22nd, the marshal Li Gu sent part of his army to requisition ships and sailors from Chenzhou and nearby Bozhou, and all of them went south with the army, and the march of the army was even slower.

Li Chongjin took the lead and couldn't stand it.

Li Chongjin, who was 27 years old, rushed to the Chinese army in a column, and on the grounds that Zhao Kuangyin, the head of the eastern and western classes of the forbidden army, warned that there were still special soldiers of the Southern Tang Dynasty in the territory and needed the help of troops, he proposed to take the first step and lead some of the pioneers to kill the border of the Huai River directly, so as to control the north bank of the Huai River as soon as possible.

Li Chongjin is the nephew of the current saint Guo Wei and the son of the eldest princess of Fuqing! His reasons are also sufficient, Li Gu really has no way to refute it directly, and as soon as he nodded, Li Chongjin seized the opportunity, turned around, and led three thousand cavalry to open the way.

In the evening of the same day, Lin Feng, who had finished inspecting the various lines of defense, turned back to the Thorn Shi Mansion, but the first thing he saw was the strange and playful looks of a group of cronies, Wu Qiao ran over and whispered, "Miss Zhou is here!" ”

What Miss Zhou? When Lin Feng was a little puzzled, he saw people he would never have imagined: one was Shu Ya, who did not go north to Shouzhou with him, and the other was Emperor Zhou E, who was thinking day and night, and a Situ Mansion guard followed behind Xiaomei and Xiaocui.

Shu Ya saw Lin Feng from a distance, knelt on the ground with a "plop", pressed her forehead tightly to the ground, and trembled all over her body without speaking.

Lin Feng glanced at him, took Emperor Zhou E, who was full of haggard expression, into his arms, and said pityingly, "Why are you here?" Worked hard along the way, right? ”

Emperor Zhou E's eyes were already full of tears, and he hugged Lin Feng tightly regardless of it.

Lin Feng patted her on the back gently, turned his head to Shu Ya and said, "Zizheng, get up!" You know, I don't like people kneeling. ”

The teacher shouted my word! Shu Ya's body trembled even more violently, she raised her head, her face was full of tears, and she cried: "Teacher, I'm sorry for you!" ”

Emperor Zhou E also raised his little face, stared at Lin Feng and said, "Brother Lin, I was able to sneak out to find you this time, it was from Shu Ya that I learned that Brother Han and Brother Shi had resigned and came to Shouzhou, so I made up my mind to leave home." Along the way, thanks to Shuya's care! Fang's guards caught up with us halfway. ”

Lin Feng sighed, went over to help Shu Ya, and said earnestly: "Zizheng, don't leave again if you come." ”

"Teacher, I'm not leaving, I'm not leaving!" Shu Ya was recognized by Lin Feng, and ecstasy surged to her face, crying with joy.

Lin Feng punched him the shoulder and reprimanded: "Remember, people have times when they make mistakes and are inconsiderate, as long as they wake up." Raise your head and let's get through the difficulties in front of us together! ”

Shu Ya quickly raised her head, wiped away the tears on her face, and nodded again and again.

Lin Feng walked up to Emperor Zhou E again, took her hands, and said softly, "Sister, you shouldn't come again!" The Battle of Shouzhou is about to begin, and all of us are about to become trapped beasts! ”

Emperor Zhou E shook his hands away, took a step back, widened his eyes and said, "Brother Lin, you are eccentric!" ”

Lin Feng was puzzled: "How do you say this?" ”

Emperor Zhou E crossed his waist with one hand, pointed to Shi Xubai and Han Xizai who were snickering next to him, and said in a coquettish voice: "I asked, when Brother Shi and Brother Han came to you, you greeted you with a smile and a warm welcome!" Now that I'm here, you'll only blame me, am I not as good as two big brothers? ”

Lin Feng smiled bitterly, can this be compared? You went back to be a "hostage" in front of the emperor, but now you have sneaked over, what do you let the emperor think, what do you let that group of ministers think, what do you let Lord Zhou Zong Zhou think?

Emperor Zhou E's face was straight, he walked over and grabbed Lin Feng's hands, and said solemnly: "Brother Lin, if you don't refuse the people of Shouzhou to go to the national disaster together, and if you don't refuse Brother Shi and Brother Han to face life and death together, you can't refuse my request!" From now on, I will also join Zhang Jiao and Luo Yufeng's medical team and do my best for the big war! ”

"Well said, sure enough, it's women who don't let you shave your eyebrows!" Han Xizai, who was next to him, applauded vigorously and praised him.

Zhou Ehuang's little face immediately turned red, and he shook Lin Feng's hands away, and the person dodged behind him.

Lin Feng was immediately proud, damn, I am not even afraid of the crime of abducting Li Congqian, the king of Ji, and I am afraid that my lover will defect to mere trivial things? On the other hand, this is actually a very good time to encourage the people of the city!

He grabbed Zhou Ehuang's waist with one hand and Han Xizai's shoulder with the other, and said loudly: "My beloved people are here!" My trusted brothers are all here, too! From now on, let's let the things in the north who don't know whether they are alive or dead see how powerful our Shouzhou is! ”

"Whew!" Feng Jingyun and the other brothers also cheered and laughed.

That night, Lin Feng held an emergency military meeting again and discussed with a group of cadres until late.
