Today's Pingzhou, under the attack of several major anti-kings, seems to have formed a situation of four parts of the world.

Zhao Tong occupied the western part of Tianzhu City, and his command was as high as 100,000 people.

In the south, it was occupied by a man named Wan Hai, who also had 100,000 men and horses, and set himself up as king.

The east was occupied by Zheng Heping.

As for the north, it was occupied by a figure named Guangliang.

Today's people, the original intention of the uprising was just to let everyone under their command have enough to eat, and not to starve and freeze.

But as their power grows, they don't seem to be satisfied with their current appetites, and what they do is already contrary to the original intention of the uprising.

Whenever they captured a city, county, or village, they were able to burn, kill, and loot, which made the rest of the people of Pingzhou panic.

At this moment, outside the city.

A group of mighty men and horses are already approaching the city, and the person leading the army is Zhao Tong.

Three days have passed since Zhao Tong led the army here, and in these three days, the army under Zhao Tong has launched no less than five large and small attacks on Sucheng.

But after all, Sucheng is the first of the three major cities and counties in Pingzhou, and the defenders in the city are as high as 50,000.

"Castle master, this is not the way to go on, the enemy's firepower is too strong, if we continue like this, even if we finally take this city, I am afraid that we will lose a lot of brothers."

In front of Zhao Tong, a middle-aged man in a white robe who was about thirty-four years old frowned and said.

At this moment, Zhao Tong's face was also extremely gloomy, looking at his brother who was constantly falling under the enemy's arrows, Zhao Tong was furious.

"Castle Master, it's not good!"

At this moment, a young man came hurriedly on horseback, and before anyone arrived, his slightly panicked voice was the first to reach the ears of Zhao Tong and the others.

"What's going on?"

When the person approached, Zhao Tong immediately asked.

"Castle Master! There is news that in order to suppress the Pingzhou Rebellion, the imperial court has sent an army of 50,000 troops, led by the eighth prince Li Chengwen, into Pingzhou, and is now coming here! ”

Hearing this, Zhao Tong and the middle-aged man in white shirts couldn't help but change their faces.

They had thought that the imperial court would react, but they did not expect it to come so quickly.

"What a panic! Isn't it an army of 50,000, we have a gang of 100,000, and how can we fear them! ”

After coming back to his senses, Zhao Tong immediately shouted angrily, as if he didn't pay attention to the army sent by the imperial court at all.

During this period of time, they flew to the Emperor's Castle as a bamboo, conquering several counties in a row, and even in the end, the defenders of those counties learned that they were coming to attack the city, and they lost their armor and fled in embarrassment, which also added a lot of arrogance to Zhao Tong.

"Castle master, don't be careless! The soldiers and horses of the imperial court are not comparable to the defenders of these counties, and besides, we only brought out 50,000 people in this attack on Sucheng. Once the imperial army arrives here and joins forces with the defenders of Sucheng, we will be in a dilemma. ”

The middle-aged man frowned slightly and said.

"The military advisor doesn't need to worry, what can the imperial court soldiers and horses do, they may have forgotten that this is Pingzhou! It is simply a fool's dream to try to suppress us with only 50,000 horses. ”

"Before coming to Sucheng, the lord of this castle has sent people to contact Wanhai, and expressed our willingness to form an alliance with them, once our two sides form an alliance, not to mention the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, this entire Pingzhou will be in our pocket!"

Now Zhao Tong is no longer satisfied with the castle lord of the Flying Emperor Castle at all, he wants to unite Wanhai to disintegrate the forces of the other two heavenly kings, and then find a way to solve Wanhai.

He wants to be the king of this Pingzhou.

But after hearing this, the middle-aged man's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

"Castle master, with all due respect, this Wanhai is not a simple character, it is better for the castle lord to be careful."

The middle-aged man didn't understand Zhao Tong's ambitions, but this Wan Hai was indeed not a simple person as he said.

"Brother Huang, don't worry, one Wanhai is not to worry about, as long as Zheng Heping and Guangliang can be resolved, the lord of this fort is free to deal with Wanhai."

After speaking, Zhao Tong glanced at the direction of the Sucheng city wall, and then waved his hand and said, "Pass the order to go down and withdraw the army!" The matter of attacking Sucheng was solved first, and the soldiers and horses of the imperial court were talking. ”

Under Zhao Tong's order, the army that was still conquering Sucheng began to withdraw one after another.

……

In a dense forest less than fifty kilometers from the city.

Li Chengwen led an army of 50,000 to stay here and set up camp.

Under the report of the spies, Li Chengwen already knew that the enemy troops attacking Sucheng had gradually withdrawn, so there was no need for him to lead the army to support at this moment.

In the makeshift tent, Li Chengwen looked at the map in front of him and was silent for a long time.

On the map, there are dense red markers, and these marks represent the cities and counties that have now been conquered by the rebels.

Li Chengwen never thought that in such a short period of time, Pingzhou would completely fall, which made Li Chengwen a little overwhelmed.

"Report!"

At this moment, a general hurriedly ran into the camp tent, and then half-knelt in front of Li Chengwen.

"Your Highness Qiqi, the prince of Beiliang asks to see you!"

"Chu Mo? Hurry, please! ”

When Li Chengwen heard this, he hurriedly spoke up.

Not long after, under the leadership of the general, Chu Mo soon came to the camp tent.

"You're pretty fast."

Seeing Li Chengwen, Chu Mo said with a smile.

"What is the current situation in Pingzhou?" Li Chengwen asked.

"As you can see, Pingzhou has completely fallen. How many soldiers and horses did the imperial court send this time? ”

"Fifty thousand!"

Hearing this, Chu Mo's brows couldn't help frowning.

With only 50,000 soldiers and horses, you want to suppress the Pingzhou Rebellion?

Isn't that a joke? Since Li Deyi handed over this matter to Li Chengwen, Chu Mo naturally understood Li Deyi's expectations for Li Chengwen, but this 50,000 army was really difficult for Chu Mo to accept.

"I knew it would be like this, don't worry, after you go back, I will also go back to Liangzhou, and the 20,000 Northern Liang Army has already gone straight to Pingzhou under the leadership of Yu Zixuan and Shen Qiu."

Hearing this, Li Chengwen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Chu Mo, do you have a strategy?"

Chu Mo smiled indifferently and slowly walked to the side and sat down.

"What do you think?"

Chu Mo asked rhetorically.

"No matter what, these rebels are always the people of my Dawu Dynasty, and we ......"

Before Li Chengwen could finish speaking, Chu Modang understood and waved his hand to interrupt it.

"Suppression is the bottom, and the attack is the top. Pacification is supplemented, and subduing the people's hearts is the main thing. ”

"That's the best way!"
