Zhou Yafu gathered the nearby garrison, and finally more than 100,000 men and horses, according to Deng Gong's suggestion, stationed in Changyi City, northeast of Huaiyang, dug deep trenches and built high barriers, according to the defense of the city, after all the city defenses were arranged, he sat in the barracks and looked at the map, looking at Suiyang, the capital of Liang State, and suddenly shouted as if he thought of something: "Come on, Changshi can be?"

"In. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Send a war report to the emperor immediately, Taiwei has sent Luan Bu to rescue Qi according to His Majesty's requirements, Li sent to attack Zhao, Dou Ying is guarding Xingyang, Taiwei personally led 100,000 soldiers and horses to guard Changyi to monitor Wu Chu's camp, waiting for an opportunity to attack, in view of the Wu Chu coalition army is fierce, and now the victory or defeat of the march is unpredictable, so according to Shouchangyi to kill the rebels, but Liang State Suiyang is surrounded by rebels, attracting most of the siege of Wu and Chu coalition forces, my Changyi army and horses are now assisting like moths to the fire, Suiyang is firm, the city is high and the water is deep, it will be able to resist the rebels for several months, Taiwei has his own method of using soldiers, and will not rescue Suiyang for the time being, please let Your Majesty know, and send another 3,000 men and horses to block Tian Lubo from the Yangtze River to kill the past Wu army, please rest assured, resolutely blocking the rebels thousands of miles away from Chang'an. ”

When Liu Qi received this battle report, he also received a secret performance from Feng Jing, the guard of Yanmen County, first reported that Yanmen led the counties to keep an eye on the movements of the Xiongnu army, and strictly prevent the Xiongnu from taking advantage of the fire to rob during the domestic **** period, and detailed the internal information that Shi Lao got in the Wu-Chu coalition army, as well as the deployment of the Wu Chu army, and confirmed Tian Lubo's surprise attack, Liu Qi said with a smile: "The news is timely, it all depends on Zhou Yafu, pass the decree, and reconfirm Zhou Yafu's absolute command of the army. ”

"No. The holy decree was sent directly to the military camps, and after gaining the emperor's trust, Zhou Yafu's spirit immediately doubled, and he felt that the army that was not as strong as Wu Chu's army also felt that his infinite strength had increased.

At this time, the door official came to report: "The envoy of the Liang State asks to see you." ”

"Please. ”

The envoy of the Liang State bowed when he entered the door and said: "Tai Lieutenant, you can receive the letter of help from King Liang of the previous envoys, please send troops to save Suiyang quickly, I am afraid that it will be captured by the Wu and Chu coalition forces if it is too late, here is the urgent letter of King Liang." ”

Zhou Yafu took the book, put it on the case without looking at it, and asked, "Is there food and water in Suiyang?"

"Captain Bao, there is plenty of food and water, but the soldiers defending the city have suffered heavy casualties, and when I came, I had already repelled many attacks by the Wu-Chu coalition army, and now it has reached the point of danger. ”

"Okay, you hurry back and tell King Liang, let him hold on to Suiyang, fight to the last man, you can defeat the Wu Chu coalition army, I will go to the rescue when it is time to rescue." ”

"This, this, this, Taiwei, you have to figure it out, King Liang is His Majesty's own brother, I am so reinstated, I'm afraid you will get into trouble. ”

"What Your Majesty's own brother, there are only the generals and lieutenants who defend the city here, if they don't obey my orders, they will be killed. ”

"Okay, good, good, captain, you're amazing, I'll go back to my life immediately, hum. The envoy of Liang left Changyi in an atmosphere and returned to King Liang.

The Wu Chu coalition army continuously eliminated the 50,000 Liang troops outside Suiyang City, surrounded Suiyang, and Liu Wu, the king of Liang, was restless in the palace, and at this time, the Liang envoy sent out returned to the city in embarrassment, Liu Wu saw it and grabbed the messenger's clothes with his hands and lifted it up and asked: "What did Zhou Yafu say, when will the reinforcements come?"

"Report to the king, I have handed over your distress letter to the captain, but the captain ordered the king to defend Suiyang, even if there is only one person left. ”

"The king asks you when he will send the rescuers?"

"The king, he didn't give an answer, and the captain said that now is not the time to come to save Suiyang. ”

"Fart, bastard, what a Zhou Yafu, do you have to wait until this king dies in battle, wait until I get out alive, there is Zhou Yafu good-looking. Liu Wu said this and eagerly continued, "Han Anguo is here?"

"The minister is here. ”

"This king ordered you and Zhang Yu to lead the defenders, and resolutely block the Wu and Chu coalition forces outside the city, whether this king is dead or alive depends on the two of you. ”

"The ministers will do their best to fight for their lives to defend Suiyang, but the reinforcements from the Taiwei side still have to ask the king to take care of them. ”

When Liu Wu heard this, he shouted: "Someone come, send a messenger to tell Zhou Yafu and ask him to send reinforcements quickly." ”

"No. The messenger took the order and ran out, and then ran to Changyi under the cover of the general, and got the same answer from Zhou Yafu, so many times, so that Liu Wu was angry, and eagerly wrote a report to Zhou Yafu to see death and not save the song and sent it to the emperor, Liu Qi read it and put it aside disapprovingly and said: "Returning to the decree, the king of Liang should obey the dispatch of the Taiwei, guard Suiyang, and make contributions to the success of the rebellion." ”

Liu Wu was very angry when he received the emperor's reply, and when he heard that the Wu and Chu coalition forces were attacking more and more tightly, his heart suddenly ignited with anger, okay, you are all bullying me, so he led the guards to the gate of the city, and saw Han Anguo and Zhang Yu under the command of a sweaty man, suddenly a section of the wall collapsed, Han Anguo and Zhang Yu shouted: "Resist me, resolutely not let the rebels enter the city." ”

Liu Wu saw a handful of rebels coming in from the gap in the collapsed city wall, and Liu Wu, who was angry, rode a fast horse and held a long sword to meet him, shouting: "Charge me, destroy the rebels." ”

Han Anguo and Zhang Yu saw that King Liang had also killed him, and he suddenly came to the spirit, and the soldiers below also increased their momentum, and killed the rebels who broke into the city in one go, Han Anguo immediately transferred soldiers to repair the city wall, such a scene appeared many times in a few days, and were all experienced Han Anguo and Zhang Yu turned the danger into a disaster, and after a long time, someone in Suiyang City came up with the idea to break through, and the army's heart was shaken, Liu Wu immediately swore and said: "This king resolutely does not break through, and swears to live and die with Suiyang, we have the ability to defend Suiyang." ”

"We support the king and swear to live and die with Suiyang!" The soldiers and civilians of the whole city also echoed when they saw King Liang's determination, and the military power was shocked for a while, and Suiyang seemed to have become an impregnable wall overnight.

Wu Wang Liu Bi felt extremely annoyed, and attacked for more than two months, Suiyang was close in front of him but seemed to be far away in the sky, and suddenly remembered that Shi Lao and they were coming, and shouted outside the tent: "Shi Lao Zhonglang is here." ”

Shi Lao picked up the curtain and walked into the handsome tent and said, "King, the minister is here." ”

"Old Shi, tell me, when you were in the ancient city, you should know about the war of our Han Dynasty, right?"

"There are many references to it in the historical sources. ”

"Then this Suiyang City in front of me, can my Wu Chu coalition army capture it?"

"Does the king listen to the truth or is it a lie?"

"Nonsense, of course it's true. ”

"History records that it was not captured. ”

Liu Bi held his breath and asked, "Then what was the result?"

The Wu-Chu coalition army turned around and attacked Zhou Yafu's army and was defeated by Zhou Yafu. ”

"Oh, how can my hundreds of thousands of troops fail, even if I go to attack Changyi now, how can Zhou Yafu's 100,000 sheep-like army be the opponent of my fierce Wu-Chu coalition army, hehehe. ”

"Don't be careless, it's better to make use of your strengths and avoid your weaknesses as soon as possible, otherwise you still can't escape the laws of history. ”

"Hmph, it seems that we should adopt General Huan's suggestion to quickly march to the western mountains and give full play to the advantages of our infantry. ”

"The king is wise. ”

"Okay, I'll besiege Suiyang one last time. King Wu then shouted: "Inform the King of Chu to attack Suiyang early tomorrow morning." ”

"No. The herald quickly informed the Wu-Chu coalition army.

At this time, a guest of King Wu named Zhou Qiu asked to see Liu Bi, and Liu Bi said: "Zhou Qiu, do you have something to do with this king?"

"King, now all your guests have been promoted to generals, lieutenants and other positions, but I Zhou Qiu is incompetent, I have not made an inch, but I am not far behind, I just ask the king to give me a Han Festival, I will pull up a new team for the king, open up a new battlefield, and open up a new situation for the current war. ”

Liu Bi frowned and pondered for a long time, thinking that a Han Festival would not waste any manpower and financial resources on me, give him a show of what tricks he can play, so he said: "Zhou Qiu, then the king will make you a Han envoy and open up a new battlefield." ”

"Thank you for your kindness, and Zhou Qiu will live up to the king's trust. Zhou Qiu withdrew from the big tent with the Han Festival awarded by Liu Wei to implement his grand plan.

Putting aside Liu Bi and Zhou Qiu for the time being, Zhang Jiayang led three thousand ironclad cavalry to the southeast of Huainan, after more than ten days of rapid marching, a big river appeared in front, Zhang Jiayang asked the guide in the team: "What kind of river is this river?"

"Report to the commander, it's Huaishui, and after Huaishui, it should be Huainan. ”

"When I arrived, the meteor scout horse quickly crossed the Huaishui to check the situation ahead, and the order was passed down, and the team rested on the spot, and we must be ready for battle to prevent Tian Lubo's troops from blocking it. ”

"No. ”

Zhang Jiayang listened to the voice of the herald one after another and the horse moving south, and suddenly felt a lot of majesty, thinking that it is no wonder that everyone wants to be a general, this kind of feeling of responding to a hundred calls is something that others can't experience.

After an hour, Tanma quickly came to Zhang Jiayang and said, "Report to the commander, a large number of Wu troops have been found in the south of Huaishui, and they are advancing in the direction of Huainan Kingdom. ”

"Oh, how many centaurs?"

"There were about 3,000 cavalrymen and 10,000 infantry. ”

"What, there are so many people from Wu Jun?" Zhang Jiayang asked suspiciously.

"The little one saw it with his own eyes, and he didn't dare to lie. ”

"It seems that this Tian Lubo has started to play yin. Zhang Jiayang muttered to himself.

"What?" said the soldier in return, inexplicably.

Zhang Jiayang immediately realized that this Han army didn't understand this, so he smiled and said: "It's nothing, you have made a great contribution, hurry up and return to the team." ”

"No. ”

It turned out that Tian Lubo was with the three thousand cavalry given by the king of Wu down the river, due to the drought of the Yangtze River, the walking was not smooth, so he abandoned the boat and rode to Huainan to advance, and encountered a lot of small local rebel forces on the way, all willing to serve the king of Wu, Tian Lubo received them one by one, only to pick more than 10,000 elite people, which gave Tian Lubo a lot of courage, on the mighty to occupy Huainan, Lujiang, Hengshan countries, I heard that the king of Huainan wanted to participate in the rebellion, but now under the control of the prime minister of Huainan, so the first target of the attack was selected as Huainan.

The Han army's 3,000 men and horses encountered Tian Lubo's 10,000-person army, and Zhang Jiayang was worried for a while, and fell into a dilemma, thinking about the history that Shi Lao told, Wu King Liu Bi did not agree to Tian Lubo's march plan at all, and now the facts are in front of his eyes, and he has become the commander of this matter by mistake, how to deal with it, will he be wiped out by Tian Lubo's army, there are no ready-made historical facts for reference, especially for Zhang Jiayang, who has never led troops to fight, I don't know what to do.
