Song Gao guarded Huairou and posted a notice to appease the people.

On this day, someone suddenly came to report, saying that the Taishou of Wolf Mountain County had sent an envoy to come.

Song Gao was a little puzzled, he had done a good job in the construction of city defense, and felt that there would be soldiers and horses from Langshan County at any time, but who expected that what he was waiting for was not the army, but a messenger.

Could it be that the other party lost Huairou County, but didn't want to take it back?

Although he was puzzled, he ordered the messenger to be summoned.

Coming to the official office and sitting down, the envoy entered the main hall and came to Song Gao to salute respectfully: "Qin Pei, the advisor of the Weijiang Guard of Langshan County, was ordered to come to meet the general! The general is the confidant of the lieutenant general of the Dianjun army, and he is deeply trusted by the lieutenant general, and he has heard of the great name for a long time, and it is really fortunate to be able to see it today!"

This person is very good at talking, and Song Gao is happy to hear it: "Your Excellency is here as a messenger today, what are you doing?"

Qin Pei replied: "Fuzun has heard of Ning Zhonglang's name for a long time, but unfortunately he can't see each other in Jinzhou. Ning Zhonglang participated in the coalition to exterminate the Liang Yi ant thieves and made great contributions. Later, he assisted Princess Yuanxi to pacify the lands of Jin, Han and Cheng, and made great contributions to Dacheng. I also heard that Ning Zhonglang was proficient in spells and could not do what others could not, and the government admired him! Today, I learned that Ning Zhonglang's soldiers and horses had come to Jiangzhou, and I couldn't help but be overjoyed. Such a good opportunity, the Fuzun did not want to miss it, so he ordered to bring a thousand gold, countless silk and silk, a number of grain, grass and war horses, and came to pay a visit!"

"Oh?" Song Gao was a little surprised, "Wei Taishou is quite polite?

Qin Pei replied: "The government respects Mu Ning Zhonglang, and he has long had the same intentions, but he has the heavy responsibility of the people of Wolf Mountain, so he doesn't dare to leave lightly." Now that Ning Zhonglang has come to Jiangzhou, the mansion is overjoyed and ordered to come down to offer the city. Bring the Wolf Mountain County Taishou, the official seal, and the tiger talisman in the city, and ask the general to take over the city!"

As he spoke, he instructed his subordinates to bring boxes of gold and silver, and at the same time presented the official seal and tiger talisman.

Song Gao was surprised, he really didn't expect Wolf Mountain County to take the initiative to surrender and sacrifice the city: "This, this is not a joke, right?"

"I don't dare to deceive the general!" Qin Pei replied, "Fuzun sincerely belongs to him, and wants to join Ning Zhonglang's command to jointly maintain Dacheng!"

"Okay, good!" Song Gao couldn't help but get up and go over to take Qin Pei's hand, "It's really good! Quick, sit with General Ben." Come on, change a good banquet on ......the table! What was your name?"

Qin Peixin said, you don't remember my name in your feelings, so he replied with a smile: "In Xia Qin Pei, he is a strategist by the side of the mansion!"

"Mr. Qin, good, good!" Song Gao laughed, "Mr. is here well!, but Ning Zhonglang is not in Jiangzhou, and he is dealing with Sun Yi right now!"

"Ning Zhonglang has won a hundred battles, how can Sun Yi's cowardly bag be his opponent?" Qin Pei immediately complimented, "When Zhonglang takes Liangzhou, he can enter Jiangzhou in one go." I have admired Zhonglang for a long time, and I look forward to seeing Zhonglang Huyan as soon as possible!"

"Hahaha!" Song Gao was very happy, pulled Qin Pei and laughed and said, "You and Wei Taishou are both smart people, and they are very discerning! Today's choice is very correct, when I see Zhonglang, I will recommend him in person!"

"Thank you, General! By the way, please accept the official seal tiger talisman!"

"At the moment, Ning Zhonglang is still in Liangzhou, and he won't be able to come for a while. Song Gao said, "Our army occupies Huairou, and your Wolf Mountain County takes the initiative to sacrifice the city, will it attract soldiers and horses from all counties in Jiangzhou? When he comes to Jiangzhou in the middle of the day, he will definitely be rewarded for his meritorious deeds!"

The news that Weijiang took the initiative to surrender to Cheng was soon transmitted to Ning Ze through the flying pigeon book.

Ning Ze was leading troops to attack Yiyang, and he was very surprised to see this news.

Dewey and Song Gao encountered wind and waves at sea and deviated from their course as a result, which was originally a bad thing.

Unexpectedly, the two of them went to Jiangzhou, and quickly took Huairou County, and took advantage of the road to advance from the west to the east to attack Shouyang.

Forget it, what people didn't expect was that Langshan County was too guarded to take the initiative to send people to surrender because Huairou County was occupied.

Originally, he had no intention of Jiangzhou, and inexplicably occupied two cities.

Sure enough, Song Gao's luck made people have nothing to say. Bad things become good things, and you can still make such a contribution!

Cheng Wan led the army to fight against Chu Bai, and forced Chu Bai to retreat with two rebel generals.

Song Gao may have inadvertently relieved Chu Bai's pressure, and if Cheng Wan learned that Huairou and Wolf Mountain were occupied, he would definitely withdraw his troops to help.

Facing the rebel general's forces alone, Chu Bai would greatly reduce the pressure.

Of course, even if Chu Bai's pressure suddenly decreased, it would still be difficult to eliminate the two major rebel generals in a short period of time, and it would have no impact on his plan.

He immediately wrote a letter to Song Gao, asking him to win over local civil and military officials, and use the policies of Jinzhou to help the people and improve the people's morale. At the same time, the city defense was strengthened, and Cheng Wan's movements were closely investigated. If Cheng Wan withdraws his troops to help, or other Jiangzhou counties send troops to attack, contact him in time.

Although it was obtained by accident, Ning Ze of the two cities was reluctant to let it out, and it seemed that he wanted to break through Yiyang and Ning'an as soon as possible, and unite several other soldiers and horses to defeat Sun Yi and successfully take Liangzhou.

Once Liangzhou is occupied, it can be connected with Huairou and Wolf Mountain, Cheng Wan dares to send troops, and he will enter Jiangzhou and take this territory together.

The army rushed all the way to Yiyang City.

Passing through the county seat of Duwu, he encountered resistance from the county soldiers in the city.

It's just that the other side has no way to deal with the Futu army, and the field battle is lost and retreats into the city to hold on.

Ning Ze did not take the county soldiers in his eyes, and ordered to besiege Duwu County and send people to persuade him to surrender.

Duwu County ordered Yan Tao to have nothing to do, and asked how to defend the city.

The civil and military around him were frowning and had nothing to do.

Some civilian officials suggested surrendering, because the county soldiers couldn't stop Ning Ze's army at all, and if the other party forcibly attacked the city, they would be able to break into the city in an instant.

Yan Tao was very entangled, he didn't want to surrender, after all, he was embarrassed. But it's not like losing your life, especially if there is a family that may be implicated. So he ordered to strengthen the defense, be wary of Ning Ze's night attack, and go back to think about it for a night.

It is not only the county magistrate Yan Tao who is also worried, but also the civil and military officials in the county.

Yan Tao's strategist Chu Hong returned home, and his mind frequently wandered during meal time, and he kept sighing.

His wife, Cao, asked him why he was like this.

Chu Hong explained the matter carefully.

Cao persuaded him not to think too much, and if he couldn't stand it, he persuaded the county order to surrender, anyway, Dacheng is now in chaos, who really defends the country? What reputation is vain, and saving his life is the most important thing.

After dinner, Chu Hong, accompanied by Cao's, the husband and wife went to the backyard to relax.

There was a burst of laughter in my ears, and it turned out to be my daughter playing.

Chu Hong was in a bad mood, so he walked over and reprimanded: "At such an age, you are not sensible, you only know how to play, what kind of system has you become?"

"Daddy!" Chu Hong's daughter hurriedly came over to say goodbye, and there were several other girls of the same age beside her.

Most of these girls are Chu Hong's daughters' personal maids, and only one is Chu Hong's niece.

His daughter is called Chu Yu, and he is accompanied by his niece Chu Wenxiu. Chu Wenxiu died because his parents were infected with the epidemic, so he took refuge in Chu Hong.

Seeing him reprimanding Chu Yu, Chu Wenxiu hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Second uncle, don't blame my sister, it's Wenxiu who wants to play." ”

"You don't have to speak for her," Chu Hong knows his daughter very well, "As an eldest sister, you are not as sensible as you! ”

Chu Yu grimaced at his father, and when he saw him, he hurriedly lowered his head and pretended that nothing had happened.

Chu Hong actually saw this scene, he was really helpless, and couldn't help but sigh deeply.

Chu Wenxiu observed Chu Hong's face, so he asked curiously, "Why is the second uncle sighing?"

"It's okay!" Chu Hong sighed, "My daughter's family, don't ask so much." Accompany your sister back to the room quickly, don't be wild anymore. ”

Chu Yu turned around to slip away, but Chu Wenxiu opened his mouth and asked: "Presumably, the soldiers and horses of Jinzhou outside the city are too strong, and they are worried that they will not be able to hold the city?"

"How do you know?" Chu Hong was a little surprised.

"During the day, there are people in the house chatting, and my niece hears a few words. Chu Wenxiu replied, "It is said that the soldiers and horses of Jinzhou are attacking, and they are all floating slaughter troops, and it is difficult to resist if they are invulnerable." ”

But think about it, it's impossible to hide such a big thing. Chu Hong sighed: "This matter has nothing to do with you, hurry up and accompany my sister back to the room to rest." ”

"Second uncle," Chu Wenxiu said, "although I have never seen the Futu armor, most of the armor has the same appearance. Although the armor is invulnerable, it may not be impossible to break it! The armor is mostly used to protect the body and head and protect the lives of soldiers. During the battle, the soldiers of the two armies attacked each other in the upper and middle sections, rarely targeting the lower part of the body. It is expected that the Futu armor cannot protect the feet, or it can be ordered to transform the long hook by the craftsmen in the city, and the two armies will take down the plate against each other, or it can be broken!"

"Girls' families, don't talk too much! War is not child's play. Chu Hong frowned, "Accompany your sister back to the room to rest!"

"Yes!" Chu Wenxiu bowed his head respectfully and left with Chu Yupian.

When Chu Wenxiu left, Chu Hong thought carefully, and his eyebrows gradually loosened.

"Master, if our county town is breached...... Cao is a little worried, after all, after the city is broken, he is afraid that the enemy army will burn and loot in the city. If the daughter is captured, it will be even worse.

"Fighting is a man's business, women don't have to talk too much!" Chu Hong frowned, "You also go down to rest, I need to think about it." ”

"Yes......" Cao had no choice but to return to the backyard with worries.

Chu Hong quickly went to the study and took out the pen and paper, recalling Chu Wenxiu's words just now.

Although he felt that women should not talk too much, he felt that Chu Wenxiu's words made some sense.

On the paper, he first drew the appearance of the floating armor in his memory, then carefully observed, and then drew the long hook that Chu Wenxiu said, and kept making comparisons.

It wasn't until late that he put down his pen and paper, hurriedly left his mansion, and went to the county commander's house.

Knowing that Chu Hong was visiting late at night, the county commander Yan Tao received him in the living room, and asked suspiciously: "Mr. is coming here at this moment, could it be that he has thought of a strategy to break the enemy?"

"County Zun!" Chu Hong hurriedly took out the drawings that he had drawn countless times, and finally perfected them, and said excitedly, "The Futu Army may not be unbreakable, if you can win a battle, you can improve morale, maybe you can hold the county seat, and wait for reinforcements!"
