At the beginning of December, in Zezhou City, Shanxi, in a spacious room, in a spacious room, an official sat firmly above, motionless as a mountain, pinching the shelf like those big officials, sipping tea with a natural expression, as if he didn't care, listening to the report of the general.

"Lord Qiyuxuan, according to our spies, Mr. Zuo's father and son lost the first battle, and they lost one or two thousand people at once, and fled to Huaiqing City in embarrassment, and are being besieged in the city by the chaotic army, should we immediately send troops to support and relieve the siege of Huaiqing City?"

It is the Dali Temple Qing Xuanmo who is on the seat, and it has been going crazy, Henan Xuanfu Fan Shangxiao is not performing well, and the bandits are not effective, this is very likely to replace him, and he will be the governor of Henan with the imperial history of the capital, and this time he came to Zezhou, Shanxi, and ruled Zuo Liangyu, Tang Jiuzhou, Li Bei, and Deng Xi is a signal.

At this moment, the general who was reporting was Li Bei, and the other two generals stood on both sides, and as Li Bei's words fell, the three of them looked at Xuan Mo at the same time.

However, Xuan Mo still held the shelf, looking not in a hurry, took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and then asked unhappily: "Deputy General Li, even if General Zuo suffered a defeat, he lost a lot of soldiers. Then, the current Huaiqing City is also guarded by at least about 4,000 officers and soldiers. Based on your experience, will the rebel army be able to break through Huaiqing City? ”

Li Bei was slightly stunned, then reacted and understood what Xuan Mo meant, but still replied honestly: "Hmm... Lord Qiyu, judging from the experience of the last general in fighting with the rebel army in the past, with only seven or eight thousand troops, it is difficult for the rebel army to break through Huaiqing City. ”

As soon as the words fell, as if in order to make his judgment have a basis, Li Bei further added: "Looking at the rebel army's previous attacks on cities in Shaanxi and Shanxi, all of them broke through the city with absolute superiority, nearly ten times the strength of the city defense battalion. ”

Xuan Mo nodded lightly, and then said disapprenously: "So, since Huaiqing City is not in danger of being breached, and General Zuo's life is not in danger, why should we send troops over?" What's more, generals, don't forget, we don't have many troops, and we still have to hold Zezhou. There are four Guangfeng warehouses in the city of Zezhou, which are almost all the food and salary of the army in this area, and there can be no mistakes. ”

Xuan Mo's tone paused, and a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes.

"Moreover, Gao Yingxiang, the anti-thief, dared to attack Guangfengcang's idea, he really didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and he was besieged by us in Magao Mountain, and it didn't take three days to trap him to death. At this time, how can we divide the troops elsewhere? -”

"That's what your lord said!"

Not only Li Bei, but also Tang Jiuzhou and Deng Xi on the side, the three of them echoed and answered in unison.

At the same time, somewhere north of Tianjing Pass, Li Jiajun was walking slowly, heading north, in the direction of Magao Mountain.

At this moment, Li Zicheng rode a horse, following the army slowly, and suddenly, a war horse galloped over, and it was Li Guo who rode a horse galloping over. As soon as he came closer, he couldn't wait to report: "Boss, the rebel armies of the Eight King Kong and the Heavenly Star Hui Dengxiang appeared near us, and at the same time, they also discovered our existence. Moreover, the two of them also want to meet you. ”

Li Zicheng came to the side of the road, tugged on the reins, and after stopping the war horse, he turned his head to look at Li Guo, his brows furrowed slightly, and his face was puzzled, and he asked instead: "Oh... How could the two of them be here? What's the matter with me? ”

"Boss, I don't know." Li Guo shook his head and continued: "As for what they are looking for you, Eight King Kong and Guo Tianxing have specially explained, and they can only find out after meeting you. ”

Li Zicheng pondered for a while, thought for a while, and then said, "Okay, you go and invite the two of them over, and I'll meet them on the small mound in front." ”

"Yes, Boss."

After Li Guo rode away on horseback, Tian Jianxiu rode up at this time, and asked puzzledly: "Boss, seeing that we are about to reach Magao Mountain, why should we make more trouble and meet Guo Tianxing and Eight King Kongs?" The two of them came here, risking being surrounded and suppressed by the heavy soldiers of the official army, it is very likely that there is something difficult to do, so why should we join in? ”

Facing Tian Jianxiu's two questions, Li Zicheng just smiled slightly, revealing a meaningful color, and then ordered: "Jianxiu, pass my order, and the army will camp near the small mound in front." At the same time, the vigilance was strengthened to guard against the whistles of the officers and soldiers. ”

Tian Jianxiu hesitated for a moment, and wanted to say something, but when he saw Li Zicheng's resolute face, he didn't persuade again, agreed, and turned away.

"Yes, Boss."

Soon after, on a mound, 6,000 Li family troops were stationed in the north, the war horses neighed, the military appearance was untidy and mighty, and the scene was extremely spectacular.

At this moment, Li Zicheng and the two stood opposite each other, showing a triangular trend, and the two people opposite were Guo Tianxing and Ba Kong.

"Two leaders, I don't know that Li Zicheng is looking for me so solemnly, mysterious and secretive, I don't know what is going on?"

At this time, Guo Tianxing smiled slightly, and asked instead of answering: "General Li Chuang, you led the army to come here, presumably to relieve the siege of Majiao Mountain and rescue King Chuang, right?" ”

Li Zicheng's eyebrows were raised, but he didn't answer, but Ba King Kong immediately said: "Hui Dengxiang, what's so strange about this?" In the thirty-six battalions, no one knows, no one knows the relationship between General Li Chuang and King Chuang, and if his uncle is in trouble, how can his nephew ignore it? ”

"Two, even if you have something to say, I, Li Zicheng, don't like to beat around the bush very much. Presumably, the two leaders have joined forces to come here, looking for me Li Zicheng, it shouldn't be commonplace, right? Li Zicheng frowned slightly, didn't grind his lips anymore, and went straight to the point.

Hearing this, Hui Dengxiang and Ba King Kong glanced at each other, nodded slightly, and Hui Dengxiang said: "Since Li Chuang is so happy and so direct, it is not easy for the two of us to talk and beat around the corner. ”

"Brother Li, it's like this, I can't hide it, the two of us also know the recent situation of King Chuang, and they are being surrounded by officials and soldiers in Magao Mountain. The reason why I am looking for Your Excellency is to help Your Excellency and break through the siege of the king. ”

Li Zicheng was stunned for a moment, showed a hint of surprise, and said meaningfully: "Two leaders, although I, Li Zicheng, am young, I don't believe that there will be a pie in the world. The two of them took the initiative to help each other, I don't know what the conditions are? If you can, don't mind making a deal and help each other. ”

In an instant, a bright color flashed in the eyes of Guo Tianxing and Eight King Kongs, and the latter even said: "General Li Chuang, I won't tell you anything, the two of us have just entered Zezhou from Huaiqing Mansion in Henan. The reason why he ventured into Shanxi was because the alliance lord Wang used his own distance to help him get out of trouble and get rid of the pursuit of Zhang Zongheng, the governor of Xuanda, and You Shilu, the general soldier of Changping. ”

Li Zicheng showed a sudden expression, and then said: "In this way, the meaning of the two leaders is that they hope to go to the area of Lu'an Mansion with the two of them to rescue the alliance leader from the predicament, yes or no?" ”

Guo Tianxing and Ba King Kong were shocked at the same time, and said secretly: "Li Zicheng is worthy of being a rising star, whether it is in Shaanxi or Shanxi, he is very famous. With this delicate mind and this sensitive reaction, few of the many leaders can compare! ”

Thinking like this in his heart, at the same time, Guo Tianxing immediately replied: "General Li Chuang is right, this is exactly what the two of us meant. ”

After a pause, Guo Tianxing showed emotion on his face, and then said in a deep voice: "My family knows my own family affairs, and I am together with the Eight King Kongs, although we have nearly 40,000 troops, but I know that the combat power of these soldiers is far from being the opponent of Zhang Zongheng and others. If we go to support like this, let alone rescue the Lord of the Wang League, even our people will have to get in. Therefore, as soon as Ba King Kong and I entered General Li Chuang, after discussion, we wanted to unite with Your Excellency's Li Jiajun and go to rescue the leader of the Wang League. ”

Li Zicheng's expression was unwavering, and he didn't say anything about the suggestion of the two, but asked: "Leader Hui, you should also know that there are only 6,000 people in the next time, not even one-fifth of the total strength of the two leaders, and the two leaders are so sure that with the addition of the Li family's army, they can rescue the leader of the Wang League?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Eight King Kong couldn't help but flatter aloud: "Hehe... General Li Chuang, why are you so arrogant? The two of us had just passed by Huaiqing Mansion, but when we heard that Brother Li, with a force of 5,000 troops, dared to shake Zuo Liangyu's 4,000 elites, and even won a big victory, killing more than 1,000 enemies. With the addition of Li Jiajun and the rescue of the leader of the Wang League, it is not an easy task, a piece of cake! ”
