However, it was said that Han Jian escaped from Fangcheng Pass with Xu Huaiyu, and ran out for fifty miles in one breath before stopping.

Until now, Xu Huaiyu hadn't woken up from the earth-shattering explosion, and if Han Jian hadn't needed a shield, he would have run away.

Han Jian pulled Xu Huaiyu and said: "General Huaiyu, the enemy is big, let's avoid the edge for the time being, and go back to Kaifeng to make a decision." ”

Han Jian was about to cry.

His more than 10,000 people and horses are only left with this little bit of personal soldiers around him, where do they dare to go to Fangcheng Pass to provoke that killing star.

"Fangcheng should be Zhou Wu, it's really amazing, Xu admires it."

Xu Huaiyu squeezed out a few words from between his teeth.

Look at this little bit of people on the side, sigh in my heart, although I am not convinced, but defeat is defeat, and now I don't go back to Kaifeng to ask for sin, what else to do? !

"Let's go, go to Kaifeng."

This line of thousands of people, put away the big and the flag, they were embarrassed to come out, and went to Kaifeng in a gray way.

When they arrived at the county seat of Yexian, they repaired it slightly, and rushed all the way north along the main road, they were too afraid that the pursuers of Nanyang would catch up.

There is a distance of 80 miles from Yexian to Xiangcheng, and there is a need to cross the 滍 (zhì) water in the middle, and if they march in peacetime, they can walk for three or four days, but now, they can arrive in two days.

Entering Xiangcheng, Han Jian and Xu Huaiyu were relieved.

The defeated soldiers were all depressed, where was the momentum of the Bianjun.

After a day of repair, they did not dare to stay for a long time and continued to walk towards the north.

There are more than 300 miles from Xiangcheng to Kaifeng, passing by Xuzhou Governor's Society and Bianzhou Weishi in the middle.

Among them, Changshe is the state city of Xuzhou, and it is also a big city.

When he arrived at Changshe, Han Jian didn't dare to leave anymore. You think, nearly 20,000 troops were wiped out, what a defeat is this?!

If King Liang is angry, where is his life?

"General Huaiyu, we can't go any further."

"Why is that?"

"Hey, General Huaiyu, why don't you understand. The two of us are the generals of the defeated army, and we are so defeated, how can we explain to King Liang? ”

"Uh, that's it......"

In Xu Huaiyu's mind, above the battle array, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and there is no victorious general in the world, just go back and confess the guilt.

But Han Jian didn't dare to think so.

He was originally a descendant, and he was valued by King Liang, so he let himself take the lead, but who knew that it was a big defeat, and those colleagues who looked at him unpleasantly had long been waiting to grab the handle, and now this handle is not ready-made!

"I think it's better to find someone to dredge the joint ...... first"

"Uh, and I still need to unblock the joints?"

Xu Huaiyu had never done such a thing.

Han Jian had already thought of a countermeasure, as long as he grabbed Xu Huaiyu as a shield, he would be able to worry free.

"General Huaiyu, I know that you are a righteous gentleman, but we can't be unguarded against villains."

"Uh......"

When Xu Huaiyu was pondering who the villain was, Han Jian began to come up with ideas again.

"General Huaiyu, let's seal a secret letter for Jing Xiang first, and let him help with one or two, how about it?"

"Is that good?"

"In this way, King Liang can blame us less."

Xu Huaiyu has won more and lost less over the years, this time it was really too embarrassing, and he lost too badly, and he was fooled by Han Jianyi, so he moved his mind to go through the back door.

The two of them wrote two letters at the same time.

One is for King Liang, and one is for Jing Xiang to be passed on from generation to generation, and one is for Jing Xiang.

In the letter, Han Jian wrote:

"Gong Jing is working for His Royal Highness to keep secrets, and we have no complaints when we are out on horseback."

"However, in the battle of Fangchengguan, the ten thousand troops were not afraid of death, attacking the critical place, and the sudden change occurred, Nanyang actually had the ability of ghosts and gods, the sky collapsed and the earth cracked, and the bones were gone."

"Jian and Huaiyu share life and death together, and they are lucky to survive in critical moments."

"Although we are still glorious in defeat, we will not be discouraged after repeated defeats and battles."

"I am now stationed in Changshe to raise food and grass for the army to prepare for war."

"I hope to respect the truth of His Royal Highness King Liang, share the same hatred and hatred, and go to the national disaster together."

After flickering, he asked the soldiers to quickly deliver the message and open the seal, and at the same time brought a package of jewelry.

During this time, Zhu Wen was recuperating in Kaifeng and was getting better day by day.

Jing Xiang and Li Zhen are both Zhu Wen's advisers, and they can be regarded as left and right hands.

It's just that Zhu Wen trusts and relies on Jingxiang more.

Jing Xiang finished handling official business at the government office and just entered the house.

The servants came to report that there was a confidential letter from the front-line army.

Jing Xiang was stunned.

According to the rules, these military planes were to be handled by the government office, and very few of them sent letters to their homes.

"What about people?"

"I'm still waiting in the foyer."

"Let him in."

After a short time, a dusty sergeant walked in.

"Where are you from?"

Jing Xiang'an sat on the couch, looked at the visitor and asked.

"Lord Qiqi, on the orders of my family's marshal, I will meet my lord."

"Is there a letter?"

"Yes."

The sergeant unwrapped the package and handed it to the servant.

Jing Xiang saw the sergeant unwrapping the package, and his heart was stunned.

The servant checked it with his hand, and the package was extremely heavy.

When he opened the package, the jewels and jade were shining brightly, and two letters were placed in the middle.

One of them reads "His Royal Highness King Liang Qi", and the other letter reads "Respect for the Father-in-law".

When he opened it, Jing Xiang's heart tightened.

It turned out that Fang Chengguan suffered a defeat.

On Zhu Wen's side, there were two great strategists.

One is Jing Xiang and the other is Li Zhen.

The two are in competition in front of Zhu Wen, and they can be said to be opponents.

However, over the years, Jing Xiang has been stabilizing Li Zhen.

Ke Jingxiang understands that without the support of the martial arts under his subordinates, he will be overtaken by Li Zhen sooner or later.

On weekdays, there is also a secret communication between Jing Xiang and the generals.

Han Jian, who descended to a person, was just a horse bone bought by King Liang for people to see.

At the beginning, Jing Xiang persuaded King Liang to gather people's hearts, otherwise where would Han Jian have a good life now?!

He doesn't pay much attention to Han Jianzhi, what he values is Xu Huaiyu.

That is the core martial artist who has followed King Liang since he was a child, and he is deeply valued by King Liang. If you can win this person over, you will be under one person and above ten thousand people in the Liang Wangfu.

Looking at the jewels in the package, he smiled slightly.

"Tell Han Jieshuai and General Xu to let them raise food and grass soldiers at the Changshe with peace of mind, and choose the opportunity to fight again."

One sentence sent the sergeant away.

After thinking about it, he went to the palace with another letter.

said that Zhu Wen, the king of Liang, was getting better under the service of his daughters-in-law during this time.

Just as he was laughing with several daughters-in-law, someone came to report and asked to see him.

Jing Xiang was the old man when he first arrived in Xuanwu, and he relied on important ministers, and he must have something important to see.

As soon as Jing Xiang came in, he saluted King Liang.

"How do you have time to come to me?"

"My lord, I have something important to see."

"What?"

"The battle in Nanyang."

"Oh?"

Zhu Wen sat up straight, looked at Jing Xiang, and waited for the following.

"Li Yu in Nanyang has the guidance of a master, although our army fought hard for several days, it was attacked by the enemy, and now Han Jian and Xu Huaiyu are raising grain and grass in Changshe to prepare for another battle."

"Oh? What did you say? ”

"Our army is preparing for war in Changshe."

Hiss~~~

"The Nanyang Army is so powerful?"

"It's just a trick."

"Hmmm......"

Zhu Wen went from surprise to calm, and the change was so fast that he was indeed very human.

This thing is strange, if the battle is reported directly, Zhu Wen will not kill their heads, and he will have to be severely punished. After reversing black and white, Zhu Wen's thinking shifted to the next strategy.

Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, can Zhu Wen understand this truth? He himself has been defeated many times, and it doesn't matter if he is defeated, just do it again.

"What do you think of Nanyang Raiders?"

"Lord, it has now entered March, and it is the spring ploughing season. If I have already entered Nanyang, I can continue to fight and destroy, and now that I am blocked, we can wait for spring ploughing and then send troops to break through in one fell swoop. ”

"Well, that's right."

Zhu Wen also knew that he couldn't fight all year round, and he also needed food.

Now that spring ploughing is imminent, first plant the grain, free up your hands, and then gather troops to break it in one fell swoop.

"Let Han Jian return to Chenzhou, supervise production, and wait for the edict after the summer."

"Huaiyu will go back to Qizhou first."

"Yes."

However, he said that Li Zhen had to report the defeat of Fang Chengguan and lost his troops, and he was very annoyed. was about to go to the Liang Wangfu to report the situation, but heard that the Liang Wangfu had issued an edict.

As soon as he heard the content, he knew that he was one step too late.

This Jingxiang is against himself everywhere, and sooner or later we have to distinguish between high and low.

He drank the ginger tea in one gulp, raised his glass several times to break the glass to relieve his anger, and withdrew his hand several times, he was really reluctant.

This is a gift from King Liang, and he treasures it.

Han Jian and Xu Huaiyu were flustered in the long society.

Although the soldiers conveyed Jing Xiang's words, they did not see the last edict of King Liang, and there was no spectrum in their hearts.

A few days later, King Liang's edict arrived.

Han Jian laughed when he saw the order.

If you don't die, you will have a blessing.

He hurriedly said goodbye to Xu Huaiyu, packed his bags, and went east to Chenzhou.

Taking advantage of King Liang's good mood now, he should go back to his old nest to avoid the limelight.

originally wanted to take advantage of King De's absence to go to Nanyang to get a vote, but the only thing he lost was his trousers, where did he dare to go to Nanyang to scratch the tiger's whiskers.

Xu Huaiyu saw the edict and packed up his men and left.

He was not convinced, hum, when the time comes, he will definitely go to Nanyang again, and he will meet that Zhou Wu well.
