Zhang Gui and Zang Hong rushed for several days in a row, like divine soldiers descending from the sky to appear in Luling.

Luling Taishou Wang Fang didn't notice the danger at all at this time, and it wasn't until Zhang Gui appeared in Luling that Wang Fang reacted.

The elite of Luling were basically sent to the front line by Wang Fang, and those who remained in Luling were all recruits and were still in training.

After Gao Xiaoshun, who was hidden in the Luling army, got the news, he sent a person to Zhang Gui Zanghong's camp overnight.

The two sides should cooperate inside and outside, Gao Xiaoshun took hundreds of people, and opened the gate of Luling County at night, and Luling City was broken in an instant.

Wang Fang was still holding his concubine in the house at this time, and suddenly heard that the official army had entered the city, and he hurried out of the house before he had time to change his clothes.

"I was coerced by Xiao Zhi, and it was not my intention to rebel." Wang Fang shouted repeatedly.

But Zhang Gui was unmoved, and then Wang Fang shouted again: "My uncle is Shangshu Youcheng Wang Di." ”

As soon as Zhang Gui heard that his subordinates let go of Wang Fang, Wang Fang thought that his cousin's name had played a role, and then said: "If you let me go, I will definitely let my uncle add officials to all the knights." ”

"You mean, Wang Yi also participated in the rebellion?" Zhang Gui asked rhetorically.

When Wang Fang heard this, he quickly denied it.

But Zhang Gui no longer listened to Wang Fang's explanation, and said to Zang Hong: "General Zang, you also heard it, this person said that his rebellion was Wang Yi's acquiescence. ”

Zang Hong was a little confused at the moment, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Gao Xiaoshun said at this time: "I found a correspondence with Wang Di in his mansion. Although there was no explicit mention of rebellion, it was not discouraged. ”

When Zhang Gui heard this, he sneered and said; "Now that the human and material evidence are all there, the people who come will first release the king into custody, and ask him to find out how to plot with Wang Di, so that His Majesty will be notified to prevent Wang Di from making trouble with this thief."

After Wang Fang was taken into custody, Zhang Gui said: "Now that Luling County has been conquered, I have ordered the army to cut off the grain route between Guangzhou and Yuzhang, and I have asked the high-ranking Zhang Da to be notified to cut off the grain route to Xiangzhou. ”

Zang Hong just nodded slightly, obviously not able to recover from Zhang Gui's operation just now.

Wei Ran had already personally led his troops to attack Qingyuan County at this moment.

Qingyuan County is located between Panyu and Shaozhou, so Xiao Shi did not have many soldiers and horses left here, only 5,000 soldiers.

After Wei Ran arrived in Qingyuan, he also launched an attack on Qingyuan at night, and after a night, the city of Qingyuan was broken, and then Wei Ran led his soldiers straight to Shaozhou.

Along the way, Wei Ran saw that the population of Guangzhou was withering and the people were struggling to make a living, and after careful questioning, he learned that Xiao Shi did not hesitate to plunder the people in order to raise military rations, resulting in the people having no food, and there was a scene of cannibalism.

In desperation, Wei Ran ordered the soldiers to take out food and distribute it to the local people, and the local people were grateful, Wei Ran asked the displaced people to settle in Qingyuan, and then sent a message to Zhang Da quickly, asking him to allocate food to Qingyuan County for the people to eat.

Wei Ran then heard that there was a lot of grain in the gate valve in Guangzhou, so he led someone to knock on the door of the gate valve family.

This time, Wei Ran was quite polite, just borrowing grain, not directly checking it as before.

The gate valve family was reluctant to cooperate at first, and then Wei Ran said: "This father is Wei Ran, have you ever heard of my name?" How much grain and grass you give Xiao Shi must also be handed over to my father. ”

It may be because Wei Ran's murderous name has spread all over the world, although the family gate lord is unwilling, he still gives the grain to Wei Ran, and Wei Ran then distributes the grain to the local people.

Therefore, the official army had a very good reputation in the hearts of the people, and it was not long before someone led the way and brought Wei Ran's army to Shaozhou.

Wei Ran took advantage of Shaozhou's unpreparedness and directly attacked Shaozhou, and the two sides fought fiercely at the south gate.

The resistance of the defenders of Shaozhou was quite stubborn, and Wei Ran was difficult to overcome in a short period of time.

At this moment, the people who were relieved by Wei Ran volunteered to be the vanguard, and the Shaozhou soldiers couldn't bear to do it when they saw this.

Many of the people under the city wall were former clansmen or villagers, and the battlefield in Shaozhou was unprecedentedly quiet for a while.

In the end, Wei Ran personally came forward and persuaded the Shaozhou guards to surrender, and Shaozhou was recovered.

At this point, Zhou Xun's plan has basically failed, and now he can only be trapped in Panyu City.

Xiao Shi is also in a dilemma, and now he is trapped in Yuzhang, and there are not enough troops to divide troops to rescue Xiangzhou, which is being attacked by Zhang Gui.

On Yuzhang City, Xiao Zhi looked at the information sent back by the spies in the rear, and could only hug and cry with Fan Hong.

The ambition of the pre-January uprising is completely gone. At this moment, Xiao Shi regretted it very much, did not follow Fan Hong's advice, and united Zhou Xun to attack Minzhou, and slowly followed with the southern land as the foundation.

Thinking that Wei Ran was not there, and the imperial army was leaderless, he thought that Xiao Ju actually drove the expedition in person, and from that moment on, he was greeted only by defeat.

That night, Xiao Shi was sleeping in his room when he suddenly heard something unusual outside the door

Xiao Shi, who was extremely vigilant, hurriedly got up, and just as he was about to go to the room to wear a sword, several soldiers rushed into Xiao Shi's room, captured Xiao Shi, and then left the city overnight and went to Xiao Ju's camp.

Xiao Ju was already asleep at this time, and suddenly heard that Xiao Ju was captured, Xiao Ju couldn't believe it for a while, and went directly to the camp, and saw Xiao Ju kneeling on the ground, Xiao Ju laughed.

Xiao Shi has gray hair in a few days, and the vicissitudes of life between his eyebrows have been revealed, and he just bowed his head and said nothing after seeing Xiao Ju.

Xiao Ju asked, "Who kidnapped him?" ”

Cui He said at this time: "It was the city sergeant clan who jointly tied Xiao Shi here. ”

Xiao Ju sneered when he heard this, and said: "This group of wall grass, also seeing that Xiao Zhi is gone, wants to take credit for it." ”

But this also makes it difficult for Xiao Ju, after all, the other party captured the enemy chief alive to atone for his crimes, although Xiao Ju hated it, but he was helpless.

If it is still punished according to the crime of treason, if there is such a matter in the future, where will the scholars dare to surrender.

If the reward is still given, I am afraid that the Northern Dynasty will also open the city and surrender in the future.

Xiao Ju looked at Xiao Shi coldly and said, "Can the imperial uncle be guilty?" ”

"If you become a king or lose a king, I just want to die quickly." Xiao Shi was still quite backbone at this time.

Xiao Ju only smiled slightly when he heard this, and then asked Xiao Shi to load him into the prisoner car.

At dawn the next day, Xiao Ju led the army to the city of Yuzhang, and Yuzhang surrendered. Xiao Shi was put in a prison car and paraded through the streets.

The people of Yuzhang threw all kinds of sundries on Xiao Shi's face.

Xiao Shi was only bent on dying quickly at this time, but Xiao Ju would not easily do what he wanted, and was preparing to have Xiao Shi taken to Guangzhou.

At this time, Xiao Ju got the news that Luling County had been conquered by Zhang Gui, and Xiangzhou was also within reach.

It was only at this moment that Xiao Ju understood why the Shi clan would defect and capture Xiao Shi at night, the back road had been cut off, and they could not move forward, so they acted like this when they were desperate.

Liu Renye and Lei Duoer led their troops from Quanzhou to attack Guangzhou.

However, along the way, it was found that most of the villages had been destroyed and the people were displaced.

Lei Duoer was suddenly angry, their clan lived in Minzhou, and they had extremely deep feelings for Minzhou.

Wherever Lei Duoer went, the people who caught the rebels in Zhou Xun would definitely not survive.

Liu Renye hurriedly asked people to transfer grain from Fuzhou, Quanzhou, Yongjia and other places to comfort the victims.

When Zhou Xun appeased the hearts of Panyu and was about to send someone to negotiate with Xiao Zhi, he found that the road ahead had been cut off by the official army, and Wei Ran had already led his troops into Shaozhou.

At the same time, Zhou Xun got the news that Liu Renye had already led troops from the east and was approaching Panyu in a few days.

When Zhou Xun heard that the person who captured Qingyuan County was Wei Ran, Zhou Xun was shocked and hurriedly said, "Isn't Wei Ran already dead?" ”

But the spy said, "My lord, I don't know the details. However, some people from the family said that Wei Ran personally led troops to ask for food from the family, and what he said should be true. ”

Hearing the news that Wei Ran was still alive, Zhou Xun didn't know whether to be happy or worried.

The enemy who killed his father is close at hand. There is a chance that you can take revenge with your own hands.

But if Wei Ran is not dead, then how many chances does he have to defeat Wei Ran?

Zhou Ke said at this time: "Childe, now we have no way to retreat, Wei Ran took advantage of our attack on Panyu to attack Qingyuan and Shaozhou, that is, to cut off the exchanges between us and Xiao Shi, now Liu Renye is coming from the east, and the west is garrisoned by the high-ranking Zhang Da. Our army came by land, and now we either stick to Panyu, or we quickly abandon Panyu and withdraw to the island by sea in an attempt to make a comeback. ”

Zhou Xun sat on the ground, pondered for a long time, and gritted his teeth and said: "Even if we can escape by luck this time, we will be as anxious as a lost dog, and we will fight to the death with Wei Ran under this Panyu City." ”
