Geng Ruji said: " I'm also telling the truth, my thoughts are the same as yours, it's General Zhang Shuijiao who wants to leave, and now I also want him to stay, I am now going to the court, and I also ask Zhang Congzhe to play, try to keep Zhang Shuijiao's department here, but Cui Guiyuan took the first step, he first reported to the military department and the cabinet department, saying that it is not possible to do it without Liao soldiers, and first blocked our mouth, plus General Zhang is his old department, this lawsuit is fought there, Cui Guiyuan is reasonable, and you don't know, the most taboo thing in the court is that the military generals do not listen to the order, Cui Guiyuan this time a big hat buckled on General Zhang's head, saying that the sect leader Zhang did not listen to the order, Now if General Zhang Shujiao doesn't listen to Cui Guiyuan, I don't know how he will be embarrassed afterwards. ”

Wu Chuanyu said: "You also know how the current situation in Tai'an came about, if he leaves, won't Tai'an return to its original state?"

Geng Ruji said: "How do I not know, first Zhang Shujiao and you came to relieve the siege of Tai'an, and then in the past six months, the militia has attacked five times, the first two times want to attack the city, and the last three times want to destroy the spring ploughing, all of which were jointly defeated by General Zhang Shujiao and the coalition army of your department, so that King Xiao Ming did not dare to divide his troops to come, if General Zhang left, I am afraid that King Xiao Ming will divide his troops to fight again." ”

Wu Chuanyu said: "The militia came to attack Tai'an five times, at most tens of thousands of people at a time, all of them were defeated by our army, in addition to our unity, it is our army and General Zhang's infantry and cavalry cooperation, if there is no General Zhang, our department can only defend the city, and then all the old Baiwa outside Tai'an City can only flee to the mountains, your efforts in the past half a year, I am afraid that it will be in vain, don't you know." ”

Geng Ruji was silent.

Wu Chuanyu said again: "Our department and General Zhang have jointly defeated the militia several times, and King Xiao Ming also knows that the division of troops is invincible, but he does not dare to come with the whole army, do you know why?"

Geng Ruji said: "Naturally, I am worried about the combined combat power of the two armies. ”

Wu Chuanyu said: "No, as long as King Xiao Ming mobilizes the whole army, he will fight Tai'an like this time, I don't dare to say anything else, but the Baiwa outside Tai'an City will either flee again, or be driven by the prince to attack the city, or pour into the city." ”

After all, Geng Ruji is a literati from the scientific field, and he naturally knows more about martial arts than Wu Chuanyu, who fights all day long, and said: "Then why didn't King Xiao Ming come to fight us, let us recruit back Baiwa, and start farming from the new." ”

Wu Chuanyu said: "Because I know him, I know what the idea of Se Gongzi is, his material reserves are not rich, this half a year his materials are only enough to carry out a big military operation, either to attack Licheng, or to attack Tai'an, the city wall is high and the city is not easy to attack, but it is rich in materials, there are more than 500,000 stone grains, and thousands of large households, King Xiao Ming has laid down Licheng, you can get rich supplies, but to fight Tai'an, even if you fight, you can't get so much military resources, armor, Grain and grass, compared with the two, he will naturally go to Licheng, his idea is to attack Licheng first, after getting supplies from Licheng, he will have supplies, with materials, he will attack Tai'an again, and then they may capture Tai'an City. ”

Geng Ruji said: "So the reason why he didn't come to fight Tai'an with the whole army was also from the material and logistical considerations, right?"

Wu Chuanyu said: " Although he has more than half a year of reserves, but it is only enough for him to attack the whole army once, if he is the whole army to attack Tai'an, then the first chance of winning is only sixty percent, in fact, even if he wins, his materials for half a year are all used up, and the next action will be weak, and I estimate that he knows that Cui Guiyuan will transfer Zhang Shujiao back when he attacks Licheng, and then we have no soldiers, he will divide a soldier to fight again, I am not so confident that I can thwart their division of troops, 10,000 steps back, even if he does not divide the army, after the city is defeated, and then come to fight Tai'an, I estimate that when he comes to fight Tai'an, it is just the time of the autumn harvest in Tai'an Mansion, and then he will come to collect the grain you have worked so hard to plantand envelop all the hundred dolls you have gathered into his army, and all your efforts will be made for him at that time."

When Geng Ruji heard this, the color on his face also changed, and he said: "It's just that this time I go back, the main thing is what Zhang Shu taught himself, and I don't have a way, I will play the book again, and strive for it once, there is only so much I can do." ”

Wu Chuanyu said: "Why don't you say this to Boss Zhang Congzhe, presumably Boss Zhang's words are more useful, if Lord Zhang's words don't work, then we have to gather most of the Baiwa into the city, and collect grain and grass in the city." ”

Geng Ruji said: "Do you think Master Zhang didn't say it? It's just that General Zhang wants to leave by himself, but what is the way, but I just saw General Zhang talking to Lord Fang, and I want to ask Lord Sun to transfer troops to save Licheng together, maybe Lord Fang also means this." ”

Since Wu Chuanyu and Zhang Jiayu have won several big victories, Fang Yuanhua Fang Juren has become the training minister of the five products, and the day of resurrection is just around the corner. Zhang Jiayu's top boss, Wu Chuanyu is now also known as a commander, and Zhang Jiayu has become a garrison officer, which is all set up temporarily, according to what Fang Juren said, after quelling the chaos, he will be officially appointed, and now Wu Chuanyu plans to take a look at what Master Fang Yuanhua says, if Fang Yuanhua is confused to the point of sending troops to save Licheng, Wu Chuanyu secretly plans in his heart, and then pull Zhang Jiayu, and the two of them said to Fang Juren together.

Wu Chuanyu walked out of Geng Ruji's official residence, and went to Fang Yuanhua's official residence, he walked more than a mile in the city, and saw that the faces of the hundred babies in the city were red and red, and their spirits were much better, and there were more pedestrians on the road, not like a desert more than half a year ago, so he said in his heart: "I always have some merits, and when I calm this war, I will take Ming Toma, and the two of them will go back to their hometown in Hubei together, plant many grapes at home, and watch the sunrise and sunset every day, and there is nothing else to ask for in this life." Thinking of this, a force rose in my heart, and I thought: "Although that child is not mine, I can't be harsh, I must teach him well, let him be an upright person." After thinking about it, he arrived at the door of Fang Yuanhua's training yamen.

It was Fang Yinghu who guarded the door, Wu Chuanyu stepped forward, Fang Yinghu saw Wu Chuanyu coming, and subconsciously stood up straight, Wu Chuanyu was quite popular in the army, and the general sergeants also believed in Wu Chuanyu.

Wu Chuanyu asked Fang Yinghu, "Is General Zhang Shujiao inside?" Now a few horses are tied to the side, and it seems that they are Liao soldiers. Fang Yinghu said: "Yes, I just went in just now." Wu Chuanyu stuffed the weapon in his hand into Fang Yinghu's hand, you can't bring weapons when you enter this training yamen, although maybe Zhang Shujiao doesn't have to abide by it, but as Fang Yuanhua's subordinate, he still has to untie his weapon.

After the lobby, I saw Zhang Jiayu rubbing his hands, standing at the door of the second hall, looking at the hall from time to time, and the voice of Fang Yuanhua of Zhang Shujiao came from inside.

Wu Chuanyu wanted to go in, but Zhang Jiayu grabbed him and shouted, "Don't go, don't worry, Master Fang will not follow Zhang Shujiao to Licheng." Wu Chuanyu stopped, stood outside with Zhang Jiayu, and listened to the words coming from inside.

Zhang Shujiao: "Are you a loyal minister?"

Fang Yuanhua: "Loyalty to the country is naturally my duty. ”

Zhang Shujiao: "Then why don't you send troops, the soldiers under Wu Chuanyu and Zhang Jiayu are all first-class combat power, with them, it is not impossible for Licheng to turn defeat into victory?"

Fang Yuanhua: "The matter of sending troops should also be considered in the long run, the grain and grass logistics are not good, and the official cannot send troops." ”

Zhang Shujiao: "I just asked one of your captains, and he said that you have enough food and grass. ”

Fang Yuanhua: "What does a small soldier know? This official did not tell the truth in order to maintain the morale of the army, but in fact, there is already a lot of food and grass. ”

Zhang Shujiao: "Licheng is a provincial city, and it cannot be lost." ”

Fang Yuanhua: "This official will consider it." ”

Zhang Shujiao: "You just want to preserve your strength." ”

Fang Yuan turned into anger and said, "This official is a civil official, do you want to use force to control literature?"

Zhang Shujiao pointed his finger at Fang Yuanhua and said: "Ben will immediately bring the children of the headquarters to help." ”

Fang Yuanhua: "Don't send it." ”

Wu Chuanyu and Zhang Jiayu stood in the courtyard, and saw Zhang Shujiao with Zhang Chengzhong and Zhang Chengzhi coming out of the gate, Zhang Shujiao's face was full of anger when he came out, Wu Chuanyu stepped forward and wanted to say something, and then Zhang Chengzhong quietly waved his hand, signaling not to say more, Wu Chuanyu had to go down.

Wu Chuanyu said to Zhang Jiayu: "What can I do now? He is going, but there is more than one bad luck, you must know that this time the exile army is more than 100,000, and although his more than 2,000 soldiers and horses are elite, he is afraid that he will not be able to do it." ”

Zhang Jiayu sighed and said: "Zhang Shujiao doesn't fantasize about reconciling with Cui Guiyuan this time, he thinks that he can exchange Cui Guiyuan's forgiveness after returning this time, this is a dream, he has just been transferred from Liaodong, I don't know Cui Guiyuan's temperament, there was a guerrilla in the past who just pushed Cui Guiyuan with a mouth, and Cui Guiyuan beheaded the whole guerrilla family, how could a person like him understand Zhang Shujiao." ”

Wu Chuanyu said: "There is no one to talk to him?"

Zhang Jiayu said: "Zhang Chengzhong said it a few times, he was scolded, and Master Zhang Congzhe also came to the door to say, but Zhang Shujiao didn't listen, he was determined to go to the fire pit." ”

The two were speechless.

Wu Chuanyu didn't sleep well that night, thinking about it all night, he went up to the city tower early the next morning, and saw the Liao soldiers outside the city began to assemble, a team of Liao soldiers and knights pulled their horses, lined up outside the city, Zhang Shujiao's banner was faintly waving in the morning fog, Wu Chuanyu watched Zhang Shujiao get on the horse, took his own righteous sons, and rode his horse to the north.

In the thunderous hooves, the Liao soldiers finally embarked on the road to the north to aid Licheng.

Wu Chuanyu sighed, and was about to go downstairs, when he saw Fang Yuanhua's sister, Miss Fang Liping, with the support of several mothers-in-law, went upstairs, followed by Fang Yinglong, and a guard of the killer team, Wu Chuanyu flashed to the side and ran away, and now Yuanhua moved most of the people in Fangjiazhuang to Tai'an City, and Fang Liping and a group of women and children naturally followed up in the city.

Fang Liping saw Wu Chuanyu at the edge of the city, stepped forward, and asked Wu Chuanyu in a low voice: "Is it that the Liao soldiers are gone, and this Tai'an will be in danger." Wu Chuanyu stared at Fang Yinglong behind him, expecting that Fang Yinglong must be talking nonsense, the most important thing now is to appease people's hearts, don't let the city become chaotic, Fang Yinglong said nonsense like this, Wu Chuanyu naturally felt a little unhappy in his heart.

The sound of the Liao soldiers riding horses and running outside the city was ringing, and Wu Chuanyu said: "Miss, don't worry, our army fought a big victory a few days ago, annihilating the thief's head over the Tianliang Department, after this battle, King Xiao Ming did not dare to divide his troops to come, this Tai'an was safe before King Xiao Ming broke through Licheng." ”

Fang Liping said with a smile: "The concubine is waiting for the woman's family, and she has no knowledge, but it makes the commander laugh, but the commander only brought 200 people to attack the 100,000 militia a few days ago, but it is too dangerous, so that the younger siblings are worried at home." ”

Wu Chuanyu said: "A few days ago, I only fought that battle, just to deter King Xiao Ming, so that he didn't dare to come, not really to attack the Wandering Militia Brigade, Miss don't worry, even if the little one doesn't spare his life, he won't take the life of the sergeant to take the risk." ”

Fang Liping said: "The commander hasn't returned home for half a month, so let's go back and take a look at my younger siblings." Wu Chuanyu's face flushed, now he is going back to see Shui Mingyun, but now Shui Mingyu is a little lukewarm to him, it seems that he is in a bad mood, Wu Chuanyu doesn't know what he did wrong, but the women who probably have a body are not in a good mood, and they don't care, thinking that they can see Shui Mingyun, Wu Chuanyu saluted, and said: "The little one will go back and look down on it." Thinking of seeing Shui Mingto, a smile finally appeared on his face that had been wrinkled for a long time.

Wu Chuanyu went down the city wall, his steps were in a hurry, but Fang Liping's face behind him was a little unnatural.

Watching Wu Chuanyu go back to find Shui Mingfu, the dragon mother on the side whispered: "Miss, you can also see that this lady of the martial arts commander, the heart is not in him, the old body has seen a woman all his life, this eyesight is absolutely not wrong, this lady is just dealing with the military commander, but her mind is on others." ”

Fang Liping shook her head and said: "I can see it too, it's just that the commander of the martial arts doesn't know it, don't tell him, if you tell him, he will definitely not believe it, maybe he will blame you and others, you can't be bored with yourself." Mother Long and the others below all nodded yes.

Wu Chuanyu, who had just run down the city wall, turned a corner and entered the alley, at this time he did not have his own soldiers to follow, he didn't want Shui Mingfu to see the murderous soldiers, and Wu Chuanyu was also confident in his skills.

A black shadow jumped down from the beam of the house, jumped behind Wu Chuanyu, patted Wu Chuanyu on the head, and then jumped into the house, his body was so fast that it seemed to be a shadow.

Wu Chuanyu was shocked, if he wanted his own life just now, wouldn't it be very easy? Could it be that the assassin is coming, thinking of this, Wu Chuanyu jumped off the horse, drew his knife, and shouted: "It's that one, please come out and see it." ”

A figure wearing a green cloth robe appeared in front of Wu Chuanyu, this person was wearing a Fan Yang hat, and his face could not be seen clearly, Wu Chuanyu raised the knife in his hand, and said loudly: "It's that good man, and report his name." ”

The man took off the Fan Yang hat on his head, and when Wu Chuanyu saw it, he was overjoyed and said, "Uncle Master, how did you get here." ”

Three days later, in the morning, Geng Ruji and Zhang Congzhe were both in the hall, which was the second hall of the government office, and below were many security chiefs, village elders, and some village leaders. ”

Geng Ruji looked at the people below and said, then coughed and said: "Everyone sees, Licheng asked for help, General Zhang had to go back to Licheng, and now there is a major force missing here, although there was just a victory a few days ago, but in order to ensure that the army of displaced people could not come in, Lord Zhang and Lord Sun, after discussing with the official and others, decided to implement a plan, this plan requires everyone's cooperation, and the time is extremely strong." ”

A villager below stood up and said, "Dare to ask the adults, what do you want the people to do?"

Geng Ruji said calmly: "This official wants you to move all the dingkou, women and children, livestock and other things into the city. ”
