Liu Chuan said: "The war in Anyang is tight, and you don't know what to do?"

Zhang Shuwen said: "At this time, we can only take advantage of the Jin army's inattention, quietly withdraw the army, and help General Norton!"

Liu Chuan said: "Mr. Zhang, we have won many victories in the previous period, and our morale is good, why can't we storm it? If we capture Jinling, we will be able to save Liu Chengzhi and solve the danger of Anyang." ”

Zhang Shuwen said: "Today's spies came to report that the Jin army has been led by Liu Xingshen, this person is scheming, and he must not make a mistake!"

Liu Chuan shouted angrily and said: "In recent days, it has been rumored that Mr. wants to support the army and respect himself, I still don't think so, General Norton is in this crisis, can we be indifferent." If you really have this idea, you must ask me about the long sword in my hand!"

Zhang Shuwen sighed and said, "General Liu insists on this, and I can't either, can I divide 200,000 troops and put them in charge as a reserve?"

Liu Chuan knew that Zhang Shuwen was quite powerful in the army, and he did not dare to make a mistake, so he led 300,000 elite soldiers and planned to attack the Jin army.

On the same day, Liu Chuan led 300,000 soldiers and horses to launch a strong attack on Liu's camp.

The Great Jin army resisted for about a quarter of an hour, then could not hold on and retreated to the rear.

Liu Chuan was overjoyed, and secretly blamed Zhang Shuwen for being cowardly, so he led the troops to chase after him.

Liu Shiingshen led the troops, fighting and retreating, and gradually lost support. After retreating to the Purple Mountain, Liu Chuan was overjoyed, knowing that it would be more unfavorable for the Jin army to retreat on the mountain, so he pursued it closely.

Who knew that the woods on the mountain were quite dense, and after Liu's troops retreated into the mountain, there was no trace. After a while, they found countless rockets shooting at them. It turned out that Liu Xingshen set up an ambush here, taking advantage of the autumn dryness, and attacked with rockets.

Yanagawa was shocked and sent troops to retreat, only to find that the circuit had been blocked. The fire burned on the mountain for two hours, and none of the 300,000 Geshu troops escaped, and Liuchuan did not descend, but was also burned alive.

At this time, Zhang Shuwen had already received the battle report, and led the remnants of 200,000 troops to flee to Yangjiang Province.

At this time, Liu Chengzhi's department was repaired outside Anyang City. Norton's main force had been annihilated, and only 200,000 people had fled.

Liu Chengzhi had received two gold medals from Shangguan Yunquan before, but it was really impossible to withdraw at that time, and the battle report he got from the spies in the past few days knew that Liu Xingshen had defeated Liuchuan's department, so he was also relieved.

At this time, I heard another messenger coming from outside. After Liu Chengzhi was contacted, he opened the letter, only to see that it was stamped with Liu Yunqing's official seal, and the letter read: "Chengzhi is like a good brother: I learned that my brother used his troops like a god, defeated Norton's main force, and captured a city in Anyang, my brother is very happy! I hope that my brother will continue to show his talents and enter the whole province of Yangjiang." However, in recent days, Yangjiang has been flooding, and the soldiers under my brother have been less than 400,000 after the first battle of Wuyi. Brother: Liu Yunqing. ”

When Liu Chengzhi saw the letter, he couldn't help but feel depressed, because continuing to attack at this time would undoubtedly give the Geshu army a devastating blow, but it could not be refused, after all, it was His Highness's order. So he told the messenger that he would return to Jinling in the near future.

Two days later, Liu Chengzhi returned to Jinling. This time, Liu Yunguan did not go out of the city to greet him, Liu Chengzhi handed over the tiger talisman in accordance with the practice of the Great Jin Dynasty, and went to the Jinling City Lord's Mansion to meet Shangguan Yunguan.

When Shangguan Yunguan saw Yun Li, he was still very enthusiastic, hurriedly asked him to sit down, and then ordered his subordinates to serve tea.

Shangguan Yun said: "Brother Chengzhixian, you defeated the main force of the Geshu army this time and captured Anyang City, laying the foundation for the further conquest of Yangjiang Province, brother wants to remember your first merit!"

Liu Chengzhi said: "Your Highness is polite, Yun Li made a mistake in this march and almost made a big mistake, and he came to accept the guilt!"

Shangguan Yunquan didn't speak at this time, stood up and turned his back to Liu Chengzhi, his face gradually became gloomy, and said faintly: "I don't know what mistake Brother Xian thinks he has made?"

Liu Chengzhi was shocked when he saw this, and he hurriedly stood up, bent down and saluted: "The division was too hasty, and the enemy situation was not discovered, which caused Jinling City to almost be captured!"

Shangguan Yunjing said again: "Is there anything else?"

Liu Chengzhi said: "After receiving the gold medal from Jinling, I didn't return in time to help, just because I was staggered with the Geshu army at that time, and I couldn't get out, so I ask Your Highness to surrender!"

Shangguan Yunquan turned around, helped Liu Chengzhi up, and said: "Brother Xian, now there have been rumors in Jinling City that you support the army and respect yourself, I don't believe it! You and I have known each other since childhood, and at the same time are officials in the court, I understand your heart!"

Liu Chengzhi said: "Your Highness, at this time, the threat of the Geshu army has been removed, I don't need to lead the troops all the time, I am willing to hand over all the military power!"

Shangguan Yun said: "Let's discuss this matter again!"

The next day, Jinling City, above the court.

The Great Sima Wang Hanchen came out and said: "Your Highness, the lower officials want to impeach the great general Liu Chengzhi!"

Shangguan Yunjing closed his eyes slightly and did not speak.

Wang Hanchen continued: "The general supported his own troops, knew that the defense of Jinling City was weak, and that there would be a catastrophe in the autumn, so he insisted on sending troops to Yangjiang Province, resulting in the loss of 900,000 people in our army. And when Jinling was besieged, he repeatedly took back the gold medal of the division, but he still turned a deaf ear, and asked who His Highness was, and what was the Great Jin Dynasty?"

"The minister seconded the proposal!", "The minister seconded the proposal!", and at this time, five or six more officials came out to reconsider.

Wang Hanchen continued: "The general's crime is unforgivable, and he should be stripped of his official position and sent to prison!"

Liu Chengzhi was silent, and several of his old subordinates were speechless.

At this time, Liu Xingshen came out and said: "Your Highness, when you are in troubled times today, it is the time to employ people, and you should be sent lightly to Your Highness!"

At this time, Sun Qingqi and other old departments in Jiangnan also came out one after another, asking for a light hair!

Shangguan Yun saw that the situation in front of him was unclear, so he said: "In this way, I will deprive General Liu Chengzhi of his post and return to his house to reflect!"

Liu Chengzhi stepped out and said, "Your Highness Xie!"

Liu Yunqing continued: "Although our army encountered difficulties this time, it still received the first credit for attacking Yangjiang, which should be attributed to General Liu Chengzhi!"

"This seat has always had clear rewards and punishments, and His Majesty has already made a will to marry the Ninth Princess Shangguan Ruyun to General Liu!"

"The Mandate of Heaven obeys orders!"

At this time, the Heavenly Mandate Officer came out and said, "The subordinates are here!"

Shangguan Yun said: "You calculate the destiny of heaven well, pick a time to spend in the month, and complete the marriage of General Liu and the Ninth Princess!"

After the Heavenly Mandate Officer received the order, Liu Chengzhi came out and said: "Thank you Your Highness for your arrangement! Your subordinates have nothing to repay but to concentrate on government affairs and share worries for the country!"

Shangguan Yunjing smiled slightly, and said: "Brother Chengzhixian, don't be polite, go home to recuperate in the near future, and when the time comes, I want to have a drink with you when the time comes!"

Liu Chengzhi hurriedly said: "But listen to His Highness's arrangement!"

Ten days have passed, and Liu Chengzhi is reading a book at home.

Shangguan Ruyun came to Liu's Mansion quietly, and walked directly into the gate without letting anyone report.

Liu's mansion is quite large, a gate is a courtyard, the rockery in the courtyard is in rows, there is a gravel paved path in the center, and both sides of the road are full of plum blossoms.

At this time, the flowers are in full bloom and smell extremely fragrant. As far as the eye can see, there are light colors everywhere.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and the plum blossoms all fell in one direction. There is a living room inside, hidden in the rockery plum blossoms, revealing red brick walls and pale gray roof tiles, which seems to be quiet and has a kind of paradise flavor.

Although Liu Chengzhi was studying in the study, his ear power was unusual, and he had already heard Shangguan Ruyun's footsteps, so he was waiting for her at the door.

Shangguan Ruyun said angrily: "You monkey spirit monkey spirit, I originally wanted to surprise you, but I can't hide anything from you!" After that, he took out a box and handed it to Liu Chengzhi.

Liu Chengzhi then remembered that today was the third day of the twelfth lunar month, his birthday.

Liu Chengzhi said: "I'm going to get married in three days, why do you have to come to see me again?"

Shangguan Ruyun smiled slightly and said, "A big wedding is a big wedding, and your birthday is your birthday, these are two different things!"

After saying that, he looked at Liu Chengzhi, and a blush appeared on his face.
