After muttering for a while, Lu Qiming was ready to accept reality. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Loyal and good people can't be said, whoever is the head of the army in these years can be good, then don't want to mix in this world, at most he has a little conscience.

Lu Qiming believes that Huaiyou will definitely not only have Zhuang Yongsheng, although it is not clear what the relationship between Yu Mingzhen and Huaiyou is, or whether Yu Mingzhen is secretly communicating with Huaiyou, but he feels that this possibility is very high.

Yu Mingzhen is currently the weakest in his troops, but he controls the two states of Sihai, no matter who controls Xuzhou, he is bound to no longer be able to keep the two states of Sihai, so it should be the wisest choice to serve Huaiyou at this time.

And what about yourself?

Now to the right?

Lu Qiming was a little moved, but if Yu Mingzhen had already joined Huaiyou, or had reached some tacit understanding with Huaiyou, wouldn't it be too late for him to serve now?

The meaning of being one step later is different, unless you have a more proactive action.

"Yongsheng, then tell me, what does your lord want me to do?" Now that he had made up his mind, Lu Qiming stopped going around in circles and asked directly.

Lu Qiming's straightforwardness made Zhuang Yongsheng a little nervous.

Of course, the king's plan is to pull Lu Qiming in, but this is based on the premise that Lu Qiming is determined to invest in the Huaiyou army, and now he is not sure whether Lu Qiming has made up his mind, in case the other party just lies to coax himself, set up his own plan, and then give himself a black hand, his own death is small, and he will become a sinner.

But Lu Qiming asked like this, if he still kept it secret, I am afraid that it would make the other party suspicious, and there would be trouble, but he would be a little more self-conscious.

Zhuang Yongsheng's hesitation made Lu Qiming suddenly understand the other party's embarrassment, Lu Qiming laughed, "Yongsheng, are you still a little worried?"

"General, it's not a doubt, in fact, everyone can see clearly, this Xuzhou belongs, the rule of the Shi family in Xuzhou is no longer sustainable, and the three families who can have the strength to enter Xuzhou are nothing more than three, Huaiyou, Caizhou, and Daliang. Zhuang Yongsheng looked rude, but his mind turned quickly, and his tone became calm, "If Caizhou talks about the foundation, it will definitely be better than Huaiyou, especially after its annexation of Yingbo, its strength has risen to a higher level, and it already has a faint momentum of a strong domain, but Caizhou has a flaw, especially for us generals, it is particularly fatal." ”

"Oh?" Lu Qiming's mind moved slightly.

"The general can also see that those who can stand out in the Caizhou army are either outstanding sons of the Yuan family, or Xue, Zhao and later the children of the He family, they don't pay much attention to the kind of children who don't have a family foundation, or don't believe too much, don't hide it from the general, Huaiyou observes the envoy's government to push Wang Miaowang, who is the son of the Wang family of Heshuo Chengde, and has not been able to be reused in Caizhou, so it is even more difficult to get into Huaiyou, which shows the prevalence of this mentality in Caizhou, so it is even more difficult to get into the eyes of a small family like us, and it is a general. ”

Zhuang Yongsheng's words made Lu Qiming unable to answer.

He was still a little hesitant, just wanted to hear the arrangement of Huaiyou's side, if he wanted to take too much risk, maybe he would have to think about it, but Zhuang Yongsheng's words hit the biggest worry in his heart.

The Lu family is not from a big family, and as Zhuang Yongsheng said, Caizhou attaches great importance to the talents cultivated locally, in addition to the Yuan family, Xue, Zhao, He and other surnames are all closely attached to the Yuan family, and they are all families whose loyalty has been absolutely recognized.

This also means that if anyone wants to serve Caizhou, they may have to endure a cold reception for a long time, and even their own troops may be absorbed by the other party, which is simply unacceptable to many generals who regard military power as their life.

After turning his mind, Lu Qiming finally made up his mind.

Look at the system in the Huaiyou Army, from the local system of Huzhou to the Daliang system and the Shouzhou system, and now the Luzhou system and even the Huaibei system are faintly formed, like Gu Hua has also joined the Huaiyou Army? And Yu Mingzhen and the guy in front of him, aren't they all Huaibei systems?

"The Caizhou army is now powerful, but as the saying goes, the end of the strong crossbow can not wear Lu Min, the Caizhou army even under the Yingbo two states, but it has not been able to live like Huaiyou to live the recognition of the local gentry, their rule in the Yingbo two states is not stable at all, want to put their hands into Xuzhou, I am afraid that the heart is more than enough and the strength is insufficient. Zhuang Yongsheng also gave full play to his resourcefulness and adaptability at this time, "Under such circumstances, does the general think that the Caizhou army can draw strength to seek Xuzhou?"

"Let's talk about Daliang, we in Huaibei have been fighting with Daliang for many years, and look at how many times Daliang has taken the initiative to attack in recent years? No, not once! Slow as a turtle and stupid as a pig, how can it become a great cause? If it can be maintained until now, Daliang is already an outlier, and the future will not belong to Daliang! The battle of Xuzhou may be known within a month, and Daliang may not even have completed the mobilization of the army. ”

A series of analyses made Lu Qiming's opinion of Zhuang Yongsheng also very surprised, no wonder Jiang Feng dared to let this guy come north so boldly, this adaptability and courage will require some people to compare, no wonder Ryazan can give him the position of commander of the Ya Army.

"Okay, Yongsheng, there is no need to say more, I just want to ask, what does Huaiyou need to do. ”

"Have you figured it out?"

"Could it be that Yongsheng still thinks that he can be with the rats of the City Fox Society?"

"Okay, the general is heroic! Please rest assured, the general will not regret today's decision in the future!" Zhuang Yongsheng laughed loudly.

Jiao Xuan's defeat made Yao Chengtai shocked and angry.

He had already specifically told Jiao Yi to detour farther to achieve a surprise attack, but he didn't expect the result to be like this.

If it was defeated but achieved the goal of destroying the enemy's baggage equipment, Yao Chengtai could also accept it, but the result was the opposite, the other party used these magic weapons to give Jiao Xuan's cavalry an extremely sharp blow.

Now is no longer the time to hold Jiao Yi responsible, after reassuring the other party, he asked the other party to go down to rest, Yao Chengtai knew that this battle might not be avoidable.

The Caizhou army has already given a clear response and will give full support to its side, and the news from Pengcheng's side that the tooth army of the Jiedu envoy is preparing and will soon come south along the post road to help, so although Yao Chengtai is angry in his heart, he is not afraid of this battle.

It's just that he is choosing to take the initiative to go out of the city to face the battle, or to defend the city on the spot, Yao Chengtai is still a little undecided.

The fact that the Huaiyou Army's magic equipment is extremely sharp has been confirmed, if it can exert such power in the field wave battle, Yao Chengtai is very worried that if he sticks to Qi County, will he face the Huaiyou Army's more fierce and violent magic equipment attack, in that case, I am afraid it will be even worse.

But now if he wants to take the initiative to attack the Huaiyou Army, Yao Chengtai is not too sure, he is already a little short of troops, and Jiao Qian has scrapped the cavalry of this army, and Yao Chengtai is even more bottomless in his heart.

Defending the city can delay time, in exchange for reinforcements from Pengcheng and Caizhou, no matter which side it is, it can relieve its own pressure, and when the time comes, it will not be too late to counterattack after converging the reinforcements of the Yajun and Shang Yunxi of the Jiedu envoy.

Yao Chengtai didn't realize that he himself had unknowingly put himself in the position of a weakling.

Jiao Xuan's surprise battle was hit by the opponent's counterattack, which made his mentality reversed.

Before, he always thought that the Huai Right Army was just a rabble, relying on good luck and some inferior tricks to get to this point, and really encountered a tough battle, that is, the local chicken and tile dog, but he didn't expect to teach himself a lesson immediately.

Now he has even lost confidence in taking the initiative to meet the attack, although he is inferior to the Huaiyou Army in terms of total strength, but the other party is tired of the division, and he is a little stunned in a battle.

Anyway, just defend the city and fight, as long as you can defend until the reinforcements arrive, then there will be a chance to teach Huaiyou a good lesson to these guys who don't know the height of the sky.

"Bang!", the middle door was pushed open heavily, and the sound of hurried and chaotic footsteps came in from outside, which made Yao Chengtai's heart burn, and he just wanted to teach him a hard lesson to see that the guy who was not long-eyed wanted to come to find a military stick to serve and rescue.

"Dashuai, Dashuai, it's not good!"

It was Yao Chengtai's personal guard who stumbled in, his face was pale, as if he had seen a ghost, and he even walked a little unsteadily.

"The sky is falling?!" Yao Chengtai viciously squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth.

"Marshal, it's not good, I just received a report from the city gate guard, the bridge was suddenly attacked by the enemy's navy, and now the situation is extremely dangerous,......"

Yao Chengtai's head suddenly "buzzed", and his feet subconsciously softened.

Jiang Feng, who was so vicious, actually played such a trick in front of him, and fiercely stuck the knife in his soft underbelly, so that he couldn't even breathe in pain.

Once the bridge is lost, the grain of Qi County can be supplied for ten days at most, and the military spirit will be dispersed without fighting, not to mention facing the Huaiyou army in the front.

Yao Chengtai subconsciously ordered the army stationed in Qi County to immediately return to the aid of Tongqiao, and it was necessary to recapture Tongqiao!

But what about this side?

The army has withdrawn the northern aid, can Qi County still defend it?

After settling down, Yao Chengtai said in a deep voice: "How many enemy troops have attacked the bridge?"

"Commander, I don't know, but I heard that the messenger said that dozens of ships suddenly attacked when they landed on the shore, and there were people in Tongqiao Town who set fire to the town, causing chaos among the people in the town, so the situation was in chaos, and he didn't know exactly how many enemies were attacking, and it was not clear whether there were enemy troops on land. ”
