In the stockade of the She ethnic group in Minzhou, Liu Renye was tied to a pillar by five flowers.

Look at the men and women in national costumes in front of you. Liu Renye realized that they were not Zhou Xun's subordinates, but the local ethnic tribes of Minzhou.

Liu Renye shouted loudly there, but no one paid attention to him.

At this time, a man with five big and three rough men walked up to Liu Renye and asked him to open his mouth, Liu Renye just said: "Let go of me, I am an official soldier, not a traitor." ”

The man laughed heartily: "How could the official army come over so quickly, there was also a man named Feng Gan a while ago, who claimed to be an official soldier and deceived the city gate." Hurry up and drink this bowl of wine and go on your way. ”

Liu Renye really wanted to cry at this time, so he could only say: "I led the infantry to cross the mountains and mountains from the small road, you quickly let me go, and I still have to go to relieve the siege of Fuzhou." ”

The hearty man didn't pay attention to him, but said to the woman who tied Liu Renye up: "Sister, what should you do with this guy?" ”

"What else can I do if I kill you?" The woman glanced back at Liu Renye, and then said: "Remember, the person who kidnapped you is called Lei Duoer, don't go down and don't know who you lost." ”

At this moment, someone ran into the lobby and said: "Patriarch, our big village is surrounded, and Quanzhou Taishou Zhong is going to be outside the village, saying that he wants to see the patriarch." ”

"If this bell is also our clansman, is it a traitor?" An old man on the main throne said suspiciously, Lei Zhonglan is the surname of the She family, and Zhong Yao is the Taishou of Quanzhou and the patriarch of the Zhong clan.

Lei Ming hesitated for a moment, but still walked outside the stockade, and saw that many officers and soldiers had gathered at the door, Lei Ming shouted: "Old Zhong, what do you want to bring so many soldiers and horses." ”

Zhong Yao saw the thunder coming out, and immediately stepped forward and said, "Old Lei, have you captured a general in the stockade?" ”

Lei Ming didn't speak after hearing this, Zhong Yao hurriedly said: "Don't deny it, you are good at darts with double knives, who else can it be if it is not your daughter Lei Duoer, hurry up and let the person go, that is the general of my country's expedition to the south." ”

"Old Zhong, are you joking with me, this is the hinterland of Minzhou, how did he bring his troops in, wasn't the road blocked by Zhou Xun?" Lei Ming looked at Zhong Yao cautiously

Zhong Yao was sweating urgently at the moment, and hurriedly said: "They came from the mountains in eastern Zhejiang, and they took a small road, so don't hesitate to let people go." ”

After speaking, regardless of Lei Ming's obstruction, he was about to enter the stockade, Lei Ming glanced at Zhong Yao, and then asked people to put Zhong Yao in.

Zhong was about to approach the main village, and at a glance he saw a young general tied to a stone pillar with five flowers, and hurriedly drank: "Don't let the people go quickly." ”

Lei Duoer was about to ask a question, Lei Ming waved his hand, and everyone put Liu Renye down.

Liu Renye moved his muscles and bones, but he was not annoyed, but said to Lei Duoer: "The girl is very skilled. ”

"It's that you're too weak." Redor sneered.

Liu Renye just smiled faintly, and then said to Zhong Yao: "This must be Zhong Taishou, what is the situation in Minzhou now?" ”

It turned out that after Liu Renye was kidnapped, Liu Rengui looked for people everywhere to investigate, and at first the local people did not believe that they were officials and soldiers, so no one spoke.

In desperation, Liu Rengui had no choice but to go to Quanzhou and find Zhong Yao. After Zhong Yao listened to the narration, he knew that it was Lei Duoer who captured people, so he hurriedly brought people to Lei's Dazhai.

At this time, the 30,000 Huainan army was stationed on the edge of the woods, and they did not commit any crimes to the people, and also convinced the people that they were indeed not thieves, so they transported a lot of grain and grass to the Huainan army, otherwise many people would have starved to death.

Zhong Yao said at this moment: "The siege of Minzhou has been lifted, Lord Zang has led troops to attack Yongjia County, I found out the news, Zhou Xun has gone west to Guangzhou, I don't know what they are doing." ”

"Fortunately, the general's life is great, in the past, the Lei clan caught a prisoner, but he would be executed soon, and today it is really God blessed." Zhong Yao sighed.

After making such a big fuss, Lei Duoer couldn't help blushing, and then picked up a bowl of wine to salute Liu Renye.

Liu Renye didn't shirk either, and said after drinking it all: "It's okay, it's normal to be careful at this critical juncture." It's good that I'm thick, otherwise this dart would have cost me half my life. ”

Liu Renye then walked out of Dazhai and ordered the soldiers to return to the camp to rest first, and not to plunder the people.

Liu Renye returned to the village and said to Zhong Yao: "I came to Minzhou to quell the rebellion on the orders of His Majesty, and now Minzhou is no longer hindered, but the army can not return in vain, I am willing to go to pursue Zhou Xun, and I hope that Zhong Taishou can borrow thousands of my cavalry." ”

After hearing this, Lei Ming said: "Since it was our Lei clan that delayed General Liu, I asked Lei Hu to lead three thousand cavalry to assist General Liu." ”

Lei Hu was the hearty man at the beginning, and he laughed when he heard this, and he didn't object.

Instead, Lei Duoer said coquettishly: "Dad, let me go together." ”

Lei Ming thought for a moment, then agreed.

Liu Renye then returned to the Huainan military camp, personally led a thousand cavalry and Lei's 3,000 cavalry as the vanguard, and Liu Renye led the infantry as the Chinese army, approaching in the direction of Guangzhou.

Wei Ran had secretly arrived in Gaoyao City at this moment, hiding in Zhang Dashuai's mansion.

Wei Ran was resting in the room, while Zhang Da was standing aside.

For some reason, even if Wei Ran is now bedridden, Zhang Da feels a mountain of pressure, and the whole person looks quite nervous.

Seeing this, Wei Ran asked Yuan Shu to move a chair for Zhang Da, but Zhang Da didn't even dare to shout, and finally sat down with reluctance.

Wei Ran nodded, and then asked, "What is the situation in Panyu, has Xiao Shi left Panyu?" ”

"Back to the Duke of Qin, Xiao Shi has already led the army to leave Panyu, and the latest news that the last general will get, Xiao Shi's army has begun to attack Yuzhang."

Seeing that Wei Ran had not spoken, Zhang Da thought that Wei Ran was worried about the battle on the front line, and said with relief: "Duke Qin, rest assured, Your Majesty is driving the expedition in person, and our army has an advantage in strength, and the front will definitely be fine." ”

Wei Ran just shook his head: "There must be no obstacle ahead, this duke is just thinking about how to attack Panyu." Panyu City is high and deep, if it is a direct attack, it will inevitably lose troops. ”

Zhang Da was just a city-defending general, and he didn't have much good strategy for attacking the city, so Wei Ran chose to come to Gaoyao in person to command the war.

"What is the direction of Jiaozhou? What kind of action does Xiao Che make? Now Jiaozhou should be filled with biogas, and the road should be cut off. Wei Ran suddenly asked about the situation in Jiaozhou.

"Duke Qin, Xiao Che's soldiers have been snooping recently, but they haven't seen the army, Xiao Che doesn't have many soldiers and horses, slang, the Yue people have always been disobedient to the rule, so Xiao Che has very few soldiers available."

Hearing the slang clan, Wei Ran's eyes suddenly lit up, and then said, "Is there a way to get in touch with the slang clan?" ”

Zhang Da pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Gao wants to have a merchant to deal with the slang clan, what does Duke Qin want?" ”

Wei Ran smiled, and then said: "The slang people have great influence in Jiaozhou, if they can get the support of the slang people, they may be able to take Jiaozhou directly." General Zhang first asked the businessmen to be invited, and the prince had something to ask. ”

On the front line of Yuzhang, after Xiao Shi conquered Yuzhang, he gave Du Wenyu additional troops to attack Xiangzhou.

After resisting for more than 20 days, Xiao Yi chose to withdraw from Xiangzhou at night and rushed to Baling and Xiao Ju along the waterway.

At this time, Xiao Ju had already led a large army to Baling County and blocked the waterway.

Yuan Huzhi led the army to fight a battle with the Xiao Zhi troops on the front line, and returned victorious.

Xiao Zhi heard that Xiao Ju personally led the army, and he was also uneasy for a while.

Fan Hong was also worried, Xiao Ju personally led the army, the momentum of the officers and soldiers was like a rainbow, and his soldiers were quite afraid.

Xiao Shi then ordered Du Wenyu to lead the army back to Yuzhang, and the two sides joined forces.

"General Du, have all the Xiangzhou scholars been subdued?"

"King, the Xiangzhou Shi clan has surrendered, but before Xiao Yi left, not only did he take most of the grain with him, but he also burned everything that he couldn't take away. I also looted the wealth of the Shi clan, although I took Xiangzhou, but I didn't get the materials I wanted. Du Wenyu was also quite unwilling at the moment.

The first aspect of the capture of Xiangzhou was to cut off the connection between the north and the south, and the second aspect was to reward the army for the grain and wealth of Xiangzhou.

Xiao Shi felt that he had fallen into a trap at this moment, because he had encountered the same situation in Yuzhang.

And now the Yuzhang Shi clan and the Xiangzhou Shi clan, in addition to providing manpower support, basically can't provide other support, and even have to feed the Yu Zhang and Xiangzhou Shi clan.

Fortunately, the people are okay, Xiao Yi did not move the people's hoarding of grain wealth, if Xiao Zhi chooses to rob the people, then it will inevitably cause fierce resistance from the local people.

Now that he wants to feed the people in Guangzhou and Luling with the power of the four places, Xiao Shi feels that he has no time to spend on Xiao Ju.

After Yuan Huzhi won a victory, he did not continue to attack, but camped on the opposite bank of Xiao Shi.

Xiao Yi had already rushed to Baling by water at this time, and met Xiao Ju in the camp of Xiao Ju.

"Your Majesty, Weichen has carried or burned all the grain and grass in Xiangzhou, and at the same time looted all the grain, iron and wealth in the hands of the Shi clan, and now the Shi clan in Xiangzhou is an empty shelf like the Yu Zhang Shi clan, but there are tens of thousands of mouths that need to eat."

After listening to Xiao Yi's words, Xiao Ju couldn't help laughing, and then asked Xiao Yi to give him a seat.

"King Xiang has done an extremely beautiful job, and now that I have the upper hand, Xiao Zhi has no other way unless he fights to the death. Where is Gong Qin now? Why didn't you come with King Xiang? Xiao Ju saw that there was no one around, and then began to inquire about Wei Ran's situation.

When he learned that Wei Ran had gone to Gaoyao and was about to attack Panyu, Xiao Ju couldn't help but sigh: "Qin Gong is really my unparalleled national warrior of the Great Qi, and he will be in danger in such a situation. ”

"Your Majesty, Duke Qin asked Weichen to take the words, don't leak the news that he is not dead. After the peace of Xiao Zhi, there will be people who are ready to move. Xiao Yi suddenly reminded at this moment.

Xiao Ju heard this. His face changed slightly, of course he knew what Wei Ran was referring to, there was a vacuum of rights, and there would definitely be people trying to get the rights.

Xiao Ju sighed: "Uncle Huang, you also know that half of my current throne was obtained by Duke Qin for me. The Duke of Qin let me personally conquer this time, but also to establish supreme prestige in the army, otherwise the wise and martial like the first emperor would be trapped in this Fangtai city after all. ”

Xiao Yi didn't dare to answer at this time, Xiao Ju's words were full of too many deep meanings, and he really didn't want to mix too much.

Xiao Ju also reacted at this moment, and he lost his words. So he said embarrassedly: "Uncle Huang should go down and rest first, I am a little tired." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister still has something to do."

After getting Xiao Ju's approval, Xiao Yi then said: "Qin Gong has recruited a staff member, named Cui Huan, who is the Cui clan of Qinghe in the Northern Dynasty, this person has great talent, this person has been brought to the camp by Wei Chen, and I hope Your Majesty will see him." ”
