Su Jun's envoy saw Lu Cong and offered tribute, expressed his willingness to obey Emperor Wen's orders, and asked Lu Cong to send troops to help.

Lu Cong learned that Ning Ze occupied the five counties of Hanzhou and already owned the two states, and marched to Yuanzhou, so he hurriedly convened the civil and military forces to discuss the matter.

The military advisor Guang Yixi said: "Ning Ze occupies Hanzhou, and the threat is very great! If you let it go, then Chengzhou and Yuanzhou will also be in danger!"

"It's just that Zhou Yi is eyeing from behind, how to deal with it?" Lu Cong asked.

Guang Yixi replied: "If the two tigers fight, there will be an injury." If Ning Ze takes advantage of the situation, it will not be beneficial to our army or Zhou Hydroxy, presumably Zhou Hydrate can also understand! Only one person who can speak the Tao can convince Zhou Hydroxy. ”

"Who wants to go to Miliang and persuade Zhou Zhuo to make a temporary truce?" Lu Cong looked around at the ministers.

Taiwei Sun Ran stood up and arched his hand and said, "The minister is willing to go to Miliang!"

So Lu Cong sent Sun Ran as an envoy to Yunzhou.

Knowing that Lu Cong's envoy was visiting, Zhou Xuan asked left and right: "Lu Cong and I are incompatible, why did you suddenly send an envoy to meet you?"

The strategist Li Shun said: "Presumably for the sake of Ning Ze! Now that Ning Ze has captured Hanzhou, he has the land of Erzhou, and he has peeped into Cheng and Yuan, this is a big trouble! Lu Cong and Ning Ze are close at hand, how can they sit idly by? Now that the envoy has come, he should ask for a truce and concentrate on dealing with Ning Ze. ”

"How should I deal with it?" Zhou asked.

Situ Wangyu said: "Ning Ze has obtained the two states of Jin and Han, and its momentum is unstoppable. If you get Cheng and Yuan Erzhou again, it will be more difficult to deal with than Lu Cong, so you can't sit idly by!"

"Do you want to join forces with Lu Cong?" Zhou Xuan frowned, "How can we join forces with the puppet emperor when we assist Your Majesty?"

"Prime Minister," Wang Yu said, "there is no need to join forces with Lu Cong. Sandpiper and clam compete for fishermen and profits, Lu Cong and Ning Ze face each other, our army has no worries, and can take the opportunity to send troops to Bian Zhou. While selling Lu Cong's face and easing the situation between the two sides, he made the puppet emperor Liu De and Liu Yuanxiang fight, and he didn't suffer a loss!"

"Prime Minister, what Situ said is very true!" Li Shun persuaded.

Zhou Xuan invited Emperor Shun to ascend to the palace and met with Lu Cong's envoy.

Sun Ran entered the main hall and saluted respectfully, explaining his intention.

Emperor Shun Liu Xian looked at Zhou Xuan: "What does the prime minister think?"

Zhou Yi replied: "The minister thinks that he can temporarily suspend the army!"

Emperor Shun immediately nodded and said to Sun Ran: "In this case, Gu agreed to a truce. Both sides retreated their troops!"

I didn't expect it to go so well, Sun Ran thanked him.

went back to report to Lu Cong, who immediately ordered the withdrawal of the army, and at the same time asked Emperor Wen to issue an edict condemning Liu Yuanxiang for attacking the imperial court officials without authorization and occupying Hanzhou privately. demanded that Liu Yuanxiang immediately return Hanzhou and plead guilty to the imperial court.

Liu Yuanxiang was in Huajun and was both surprised and delighted to learn that Ning Ze had captured the five counties of Hanzhou.

After Ouyang Chun escorted Zheng Mian to arrive, Liu Yuanxiang named Zheng Mian as the general of Zhennan and gave him a heavy reward. According to Ning Ze's suggestion, Zheng Mian was retained in the General's Mansion in Huajun.

Lu Cong's envoy arrived in Huajun and brought Emperor Wen's edict.

Liu Yuanxiang was shocked, arranged for the envoy to stay at the post station, and hurriedly asked: "Now that Emperor Wen wants me to return Hanzhou to the Zheng family on the grounds that our army has captured Hanzhou, how can I ask the court to plead guilty?"

Chu Meiren said: "When Zheng Mian arrives, we have already written to the imperial court to allow him to inherit Zheng Fu's position. When the other party saw that our army was occupying Hanzhou, he thought that it was a threat, and no matter what the lord did, it would be inevitable that there would be a battle! Presumably, Lu Cong and Zhou Yi would temporarily reconcile and destroy our Jinzhou first!"

"The soldiers will block, and the water will cover it!" Mi Yan said, "If Lu Cong dares to send troops to come, the last general will personally lead the troops to take it down!"

"Lu Cong and Zhou Kui fought before, and they had no time to look east. Liu Yuanxiang said, "His subordinates are full of talents, and they should not be underestimated! Besides, Lu Cong made Emperor Wen ask me for the blame, and if he wants to disobey his orders, his name is not right." ”

"Lord!" After Ouyang Chun joined the camp, he became much more active, "As long as our army does not recognize Emperor Wen, the other party will not be able to take advantage of it in name! Not to mention that the military advisor created a secret newspaper and periodical, which is just the right use." A document can be issued to each state to ask Emperor Shun for Zheng Mian to inherit the land of Hanzhou. In this way, Emperor Wen has no position to accuse our army. Secondly, it can be publicized that Emperor Wen's name is not right, and in order to seek the world, he and Emperor Shun will kill each other. is now plotting against Jinzhou, and he is fighting his sister with his younger brother. ”

Liu Yuanxiang's eyes lit up: "Mr. Ouyang is really resourceful, so he will follow Mr.'s plan!"

So he used the secret agents arranged by Ning Ze to dispatch again and release official documents to various states and counties.

When Lu Cong learned this, he frowned and said: "The other party's meticulous work is all over the sixteen states, and official documents are posted everywhere, which is really a headache!"

The military advisor Guang Yixi said: "This is a small road, don't pay attention to it! Your Majesty has already issued an edict, but the other party refuses to ask for guilt, and sending troops to conquer is justified! As long as you break through Jinzhou and take Liu Yuanxiang, if Ning Ze surrenders, then Jin and Han will start; if Ning Ze does not surrender, then call on the world's heroes to attack him with the crime of rebellion. ”

So Lu Cong ordered the general Fu Lizhe to lead 100,000 troops to Jiyang, and the military advisor Guang Yixi went out with the army.

At the same time, the generals Han Chong and Han Chao were dispatched to lead 50,000 troops to attack Yuetai and Jilan County respectively.

Liu Yuanxiang asked how to deal with it, and Ouyang Chun took the initiative to ask for orders: "If the lord can hand over the command of the three counties of Dan, Jilan, and Yuetai to the lower officials, he will definitely be able to repel the enemy army!"

"Really?" Liu Yuanxiang was a little worried, after all, she was not like Ning Ze, who could see the attribute value. In my heart, I still hope that Chu Meiren and Mi Yan will go on the expedition, because they are relatively familiar with their abilities and trust.

Ouyang Chun arched his hand and said: "I am willing to make a military order! If you can't retreat from the enemy, you can cut off the official!"

Thinking about it carefully, when Ning Ze wrote the letter, he still admired Ouyang Chun quite a lot. Liu Yuanxiang thought about it and chose to believe: "That being the case, the palace has appointed Mr. Ouyang as the deputy military division and the general of Zhengxi, and temporarily leads the military power of the three counties of Dan, Jilan, and Yuetai. I hope that Mr. Ouyang will live up to his trust!"

"The subordinate officer receives the order!"

"The last general, please go on the expedition!" Mi Yan stood up.

Liu Yuanxiang was about to agree, but Ouyang Chun said: "General Mi, as the main guard, should be headed by the main public security." For matters on the front line, the lower officials can ask General Wei Yiwei, Liang Zhonglang, and Ling Zun to assist. ”

Liu Yuanxiang nodded when he heard this: "General Mi, what Mr. Ouyang said is very true! Since he is a guard general, he still stays by his side in this palace." If the front line can't resist it, ask the general to support it. ”

Mi Yan could only give up.

Ouyang Chun set off with his troops and quickly rushed to Danjun.

Lu Cong and Zhou Yi temporarily ceased fighting, and the news of sending troops to Jinzhou soon reached Ning Ze's ears.

He was about to join Dewey when he was surprised by the news and wanted to return to his division immediately.

However, he soon received a flying pigeon message from Liu Yuanxiang: "The matter of Jinzhou has been entrusted to Mr. Ouyang, there is no need to worry!"

Ning Ze breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that Ouyang Chun was ordered to lead the military power of the three counties of Dan, Jilan, and Yuetai, and was responsible for dealing with Lu Cong's army.

After all, Ouyang Chun is a superb civil official, and he is proficient in the art of war, compared with the characters in the Three Kingdoms, at least at the level of Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi, and Zhou Yu. With him in charge, I believe that the Golden State border will not be so easy to break.

It was a bit surprising that Zhou Xuan and Lu Chong had fought to this extent, and they could choose a truce so quickly.

However, they expanded too quickly and made them feel threatened, and it was understandable that this would happen.

Fortunately, Zhou Xuan couldn't come over, and there were several states in between, so it was easy to have a misunderstanding with Lu Cong if he really wanted to send troops. So what you have to face is Lu Cong, as well as Shi Chubai, the Xizhou assassin who followed Lu Cong.

Zhou Xuan will probably take this opportunity to quickly annex the surrounding princes and expand his power. It was up to him to fly over to stop it.

Ouyang Chun was responsible for resisting Lu Cong's army, in order to let himself have no worries.

Then what I have to do is to take Dewey as soon as possible and occupy Chengzhou first.

If Ouyang Chun can easily deal with it at the border, he will take advantage of the situation to attack Yuanzhou, and if there is a crisis on the border of Jinzhou, he will quickly rush north to help, and neither will be delayed. Or, simply besiege Wei to rescue Zhao and attack Bashui County. There are ways to give Lu Cong a headache.

Sure enough, after receiving Lu Cong's order, Shi Chubai, the assassin of Xizhou, immediately sent troops to Yuanzhou to support Su Jun.

When Chu Bai's army arrived at the battlefield, he immediately joined forces with Su Jun and attacked Dewey.

Dewey led his troops into battle, repelling the enemy several times.

However, Chu Bai's soldiers were wide, and no matter how powerful Dewey was, he couldn't withstand the wheel battle, and with Su Jun's assistance, he finally chose to retreat to Miao County.

Chu Bai and Su Jun fought all the way to Miao County, surrounded the city and attacked fiercely.

Dewey held out and engaged in fierce attacks and defenses with the enemy.

Just at the moment of the stalemate, the Ning Ze army in the rear finally appeared, quickly entered the battlefield, and killed the enemy army.

Dewey was overjoyed, opened the city gate and led the troops to rush out, and joined forces with Ning Ze.

The soldiers and horses of the four routes fought fiercely in the Miao County Plain, and each suffered casualties.

Chu Bai and Su Jun temporarily retreated for ten miles and set up camp.

Ning Ze and Dewey were stationed in place and met to discuss the strategy of retreating from the enemy.

"Ning Zhonglang, I heard that Lu Cong's army has invaded Jinzhou?" Dewey was a little worried, in case Ning Ze had to retreat, in the face of Chu Bai and Su Jun's two lines of soldiers and horses, his own troops seemed to be unable to hold on.

Ning Ze saw through his thoughts, so he smiled and said, "The general doesn't need to worry! The rear is solid, and Lu Chongxiu succeeded." You and I just need to join forces to repel Chu Bai and Su Jun!"

"That's good!" Dewey breathed a sigh of relief, "It's just that Chu Bai and Su Jun occupy a favorable location, and the supply of troops and materials is rapid, and they have a good understanding of the terrain here, so it's not easy to deal with!

"Chu Bai is really difficult to deal with. Ning Ze nodded, "In today's battle, I found that the other party's soldiers were quite brave, no wonder they were able to annex Longshou County." ”

"Does Ning Zhonglang have a strategy to break the enemy?" asked Dewey.

"It's not difficult to break Chu Bai!" Ning Ze thought for a while and said with a smile, "Just sell a flaw, and you can lure it to the bait." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"The general only needs to do this, and tomorrow he will break the enemy army!" Ning Ze whispered in his ear.

Dewey was skeptical.

The next day, Ning Ze sent Wang Wei to cooperate with Dewey, and the generals led the army to advance, leaving him in the rear.

Chu Bai had to return the horse and said to Su Jun: "Dewey and Ghost Face led the troops here, and Ning Ze stayed in the rear alone, and there was no general by his side. If a surprise army strikes, it will be captured in one fell swoop!"

"Take Ning Ze, the enemy army is leaderless, and it will definitely be defeated!" Su Jun's eyes lit up.
