Xu Huabiao left Micheng County.

Follow the official road all the way to the east.

After walking for three days, I came to the foot of Chen Liucheng.

As one of the few cities that can be counted in Yanzhou, there is no Chen left.

Whether it is Jibei, PY, or Chen, they are much bigger than Chen Liu.

But in the past two years, this place, which was originally only a small county town, has developed very well.

This is naturally not because of the white thorn who asked for help in Micheng County.

At this moment, Chen Liucheng's small gate was closed.

A tense atmosphere has come to my face.

"What's going on? Why don't you open the city gates in broad daylight? ”

Xu Huabiao jumped off his horse, led the horse, and came to the end of the line lined up outside the city gate.

In an effort to calm down, ask the person standing at the end of the line.

"Back to my lord, I don't know."

The one who was lining up there obediently, looking like a farmer farming nearby, replied with a little trepidation.

“…… I'm not a lord. Xu Huabiao glanced at the horse he was holding a little embarrassed, "Then can you still go to the city today?" ”

"The gates will be open for an hour, and everyone will be waiting."

"Only one hour a day?"

"Yes, that's been it since the day before yesterday."

"Well, thank you."

Xu Huabiao didn't say much.

He could see that the peasants in line were afraid of themselves.

Moreover, there is no knowledge of anything.

After waiting quietly for a quarter of an hour, the gates opened.

Following the long line, Xu Huabiao moved forward little by little.

After a while, it was his turn to enter the city.

"Stop! Who are you? ”

Just when Xu Huabiao was about to lead the horse into the city, the guards at the gate stopped him with the spears in their hands.

led the horse into the city, at first glance, it was not an ordinary person, and it was normal to be checked.

"In Xia Jinyang, Xu Huabiao." Xu Huabiao took the shelf and said to the guards with a calm face, "I'm here to visit Lord Shen Changmin." ”

“…… Lord Shen? The guards were stunned by Xu Huabiao's words.

"Exactly. If you have time to help me send a message to Lord Shen, then I will thank you. Xu Huabiao smiled and nodded.

"Wait a minute, gentleman." A man who was supposed to be the head of the guard next to him nodded, turned around, and glanced at the person behind him, who ran straight into the city.

Soon.

"Isn't this Mr. Xu!! You're finally back!! ”

"Lord Shen, don't come unharmed!" Xu Huabiao smiled and nodded.

The two of them shook slightly.

The literati will naturally not hug or anything like a military general.

And by Shen Changmin's side, followed by a woman.

It's beautiful.

Xu Huabiao is a very familiar beauty.

"This is Zheng Xiuyan and Master Zheng?" Xu Huabiao smiled and saluted her.

"I have heard Mr. Xu's name for a long time, I couldn't go to the Tiger Prison before, and I have always been a regret about it, and I finally got to see Mr. today." Zheng Xiuyan had a big smile on her face.

"Mr. Xu, please come with me."

Shen Changmin smiled and nodded, and then led Xu Huabiao all the way to a house that looked like a yamen, but Xu Huabiao didn't know whether it was a government or a county government.

The three of them sat down.

Xu Huabiao's eyes basically fell on Zheng Xiuyan.

No way......

"Mr. Xu, is this from Luoyang?"

Zheng Xiuyan was a little uncomfortable when Xu Huabiao looked at her.

She suddenly remembered that she had heard about Seo Hwa-biao from General Kim Tae-yeon.

This man is not very likable...... It seems that what Kim Taeyeon said is true.

"Yes. I came with General Kim Jong Kook. ”

Xu Huabiao nodded openly.

And as soon as his words came out, the originally warm atmosphere in the room instantly dropped to freezing.

Be quiet.

"So, Mr. Xu is friend or foe this time?" Zheng Xiuyan glanced at Shen Changmin, who was embarrassed next to her, and said.

"I didn't expect to be your enemy."

"If you come to Yanzhou with Kim Jong Kook, you should know that it is inevitable to be an enemy of us, right?"

"What's wrong with coming to Yanzhou? Yanzhou, when was General Li's? The history of Yanzhou is Baek Changsu, not Li Xiuman. Xu Huabiao said with a smile.

"But it will be after all." Shen Changmin took over, "Mr. Xu is a smart person, so we won't talk clichés, you brought Jin Zhongguo to Yanzhou like this......"

"Kim Jong Kook is just an ordinary general." Xu Huabiao said lightly, "What he needs is a place where he can settle down." In fact, I don't think he necessarily wanted to fight to the death with General Li Xiuman. ”

"Within one state, it is impossible to fit General Li and General Jin at the same time."

"Lord Li Xiuman led troops to Xuzhou this time, will he come back?"

Xu Huabiao looked at Shen Changmin lightly.

Be quiet.

"Although General Li Xiuman claimed to me that he only wanted to engrave the name of a general of Zhengxi on his tombstone, I know very well that if you don't say that this is just a Yanzhou and a Chenliu city, it is a ......."

"Mr. Xu, please be cautious." Zheng Xiuyan's expression became a little ugly, "This world, after all, is still Your Majesty's world." ”

"Of course. At the beginning, in order to save His Majesty from fire and water, I also pursued Jiang Hudong with General Li. Xu Huabiao said lightly.

The atmosphere was awkward.

If it is really a matter of honoring the order, then neither Shen Changmin nor Li Xiuman is qualified to stop Baek Changsu from luring Kim Jong Kingdom into Yanzhou.

After all, they are the Yanzhou assassins with serious seals.

"So, don't say it's useless." Xu Huabiao waved his hand, "Jin Zhongguo has no ambitions, he just wants a place where he can drink, eat and eat meat, and have nothing to do with his soldiers." ”

"Then why does it have to be Yanzhou?" Shen Changmin still couldn't understand.

"Because Yanzhou is located in the Central Plains."

“…… The Central Plains is the four states of Hebei!! ”

"It's too far away from the imperial capital, maybe he thinks it's not the Central Plains."

“……”

"East of PY, Juancheng County, where General Kim Jong Kook wants, is there. So, he's going to take someone to PY next. Xu Huabiao said lightly, "The one who wants to bring someone to Chen Liu, it is Bai Changzhu." ”

"Juancheng? You're kidding!! ”

Hearing Xu Huabiao's words, Zheng Xiuyan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed absurdly.

"Why?"

"General Li Xiuman's family is now in Juancheng!!"

“…… So it seems that this battle is indispensable? ”

Xu Huabiao sighed softly.

The atmosphere was completely frozen.

"But you're going to kick Baek Chang-so out of PY?" Shen Changmin changed the topic a little awkwardly.

"He let it out himself." Xu Huabiao corrected it.

Even though this statement is false.

"What did he make? The current Juancheng is under the control of General Kwon Po-ah. Zheng Xiuyan snorted.

“…… So he didn't ask for PY, he just said that he wanted Chen Liu. ”

"But it's impossible for us to leave Chenliu!" Zheng Xiuyan looked serious.

"If I were you, leave." Xu Huabiao shook his head, "That's why I'm here today, not Kim Jong Kook." ”

"Humph!"

"Listen to me! You're just so anxious. Xu Huabiao complained about Zheng Xiuyan, "I'm really doing this for your good!" How many people are there now? Even if Li Xiuman's family is in Juancheng, most of your other family members are still here, right? It's going to be a fight, those soldiers ......"

"Then where do you want us to leave Chenliu? You also have to occupy Juancheng! ”

"I don't believe you don't have one or two counties with tighter controls nearby." Xu Huabiao said with a smile, "What can you do if you transfer the grain and grass that can be taken away, as well as the families of the soldiers, and leave an empty Chen for Bai Changzhu?" ”

"Then we might as well leave him an open space to fight to the end!"

"Can you not be so anxious!" Xu Huabiao glared at Zheng Xiuyan, "You and Jin Zhongguo's people are fighting here, turning Chen Liu into an empty city, who will benefit?" ”

Be quiet.

"I can buy you three days to transfer supplies and people." Xu Huabiao raised three fingers, "Otherwise, you can't give General Li Xiuman anything left." Believe me, I have seen your defenders just now, and in front of the wolf-like trapped cavalry, the families of those soldiers are afraid of ......"

"The Admiralty Congress will do something to the families of the soldiers?"

"Kim Jong Kook won't, but do you think Baek Chang so will?" Xu Huabiao smiled.

“…… But if we lose Chen Liu, General Li Xiuman will not spare us easily. Shen Changmin smiled bitterly.

"And I have a suggestion for you?"

"Mr. Xu, please advise."

"If I were you, I would choose to go south, to Yuzhou, Xu County."

Xu Huabiao stretched out his hand and pointed to the guide.
