There was no big locust tree on the east bank of Surabaya, and in the end, Chen Yi and Kong Rong could only be wronged and hanged on the big gate.

The Taishan army captured 3,200 Lu soldiers in this war, and all the generals and officials were selected from the middle, and all the generals and officials above were executed, and the rest were returned to the countryside. In addition, there are sixty people who have martial arts, and they basically want to continue to be soldiers and eat food, so they chose to join the Taishan Army. After all, people like them have no land at home, and they continue to play with knives and fight hard when they leave the army, so where is it the same?

After the army had eaten well on the east bank of Surabaya, they burned down the camp and returned to Bingbo County.

On the seventh day of the first month of March, the Taishan army, which had been repaired for half a day, was launched. On the eighth day of the first month of March, the Taishan army cavalry followed the sentinel to guide through the boundary of Cheng County and Juping County. These two counties are the middle two counties from Bo County to Lu County. The Taishan army passed through the county, and did not cause much movement in the two counties.

Finally, on the 10th day of the first month of March, the Taishan army finally arrived at the west bank of Wenshui after two days of slow marching, and Bo County was on the other side of Wenshui.

During the two-day march, Rao was not light at normal speed. But no one complained, compared to victory and continuing to live, suffering has never been the pain point of these poor people in the Taishan Army.

Taishanjun found a guide nearby and made a detour from the mouth of the Wenshui River, where the waterway was the most first, and there was a pontoon bridge that was built to make it an ideal ferry.

When the Taishan army flew across the Jin Bridge, the fleet of Jibei Kingdom docked on the Wenshui River had already found it, after all, thousands of war horses galloped, and it was impossible to find it if you didn't want to.

Then the fleet issued a warning sound, informing the battalion in the distance, and suddenly the Jibei soldiers by the Wenshui were busy again, vigilantly looking at the cavalry with the banner of "Chong".

Although the Jibei soldiers found reinforcements, Zhang Chong didn't care anymore, because the priority of victory and defeat had already been decided.

The soldiers behind Zhang Chong blew the sound of the snail, which was a batch of conch specially made by Zhang Chong, specially used as his own troop rally. When the Taishan army heard this trumpet, they must have known that Qu Kui was coming.

Sure enough, when the sound of the conch sounded in the east of Wenshui, soon the place two miles away also remembered the sound of trumpets and drums, which was Ding Sheng, Dian Wei, and Guo Liang.

After that, Zhang Chong walked forward and looked at the camp of the Jibei National Army in front of him.

Zhang Chong has already discovered that the morale of this wave of soldiers is not high, there are few flags, traces of the aftermath of the war can be seen everywhere, and there are still corpses on the battlefield in the southeast that no one has to hide, which will provoke many flies and insects, and the stench is overwhelming.

These are the corpses of the right lieutenant of Jibei Guo. Three days ago, they were forced to fight a big battle with the Taishan army, but the result was all here, and no one has cleaned it up until now. It's not that this is the east bank of Wenshui, and after a long time of development, the corpses of these people have already entered the mouths of jackals, tigers and leopards.

The battle that day was also embarrassing. After Yi'er and others took Zhang Rong, they really planned to quit. But because of Ding Sheng's arrogance and arrogance, he didn't intend to let them go at all. These right captains, who were also thieves, could only lead their subordinates to attack Ding Sheng's troops.

Their intention is to beat these Taishan thieves hard, so they don't dare to look down on them anymore, and they will honestly sit down and talk to them. Moreover, in their hearts, they also wanted to beat Ding Sheng, that is, to avenge the Golden Fat Ministry that was attacked by Ding Sheng before.

It is also true, Xinkui did not hesitate to take the troops to attack Ding Shengbu and really took the lead. At that time, Zhao Rong, the general of the Taishan Army, who was the leader of the platoon, was directly slashed three times and was seriously injured and dying. But soon, the Dian Wei Department and Guo Liang's Department came up, and the tripartite encirclement directly trapped the Right Colonel's Lieutenant Department.

Originally, there were a few kneeling and surrendering, but they were directly cut down by the furious Ding Sheng. The rest of the Jibei soldiers knew that there was no way back, and they all fought to the death. In the end, they were killed by Ding Sheng, but the three divisions also suffered heavy losses and were unable to attack.

But what's even worse is the Jibei side, they still have combat power now, that is, the three divisions of Captain Zhou Feng, the left captain, and 1,000 soldiers. After the Seven-Day War, the troops on the east bank of Wenshui had been recalled by the Chinese army battalion. In the next three days, Jibei did not send a single soldier.

In fact, in the past three days, there has been a great split between the two choices of holding on to the reinforcements and withdrawing the troops.

Dai Qi, who presided over the military meeting on behalf of Chen Qi, the minister of Jibei, advocated holding on to the army, and Li Chen, the chief general of the Chinese army, also agreed with Dai Qi's opinion, they believed that there were still 1,000 old soldiers on the Snake Hill side, and they could also recruit another 2,000 soldiers from each family, and when the time came, they could gather another 4,000 troops along the Wenshui south. With this military situation, the victory or defeat is unknown.

But Zhou Feng, the last powerful faction in the camp, disagreed, and he said to the two very realistically:

"Jibei is a small country, sparsely populated, with a total of only 40,000 households and no more than 200,000 mouths. The original collection of 4,000 troops was already 1 ding from 10 households, and if another 3,000 were to be levied, it would really be to submerge Jibei Kingdom. ”

You must know that those who serve as soldiers to fight must be strong laborers, and Jibei may be less than 50,000 young and middle-aged people, plus most of the young and middle-aged people are vassals of the wealthy clan will not be recruited, that is to say, if this wave of Jibei Kingdom dies another 4,000, the scale of 8,000 deaths before and after, can make the entire Jibei country countryside no longer young and strong. And to know that the livelihood of a household can be counted on these young people? They're all dying here, and their families won't be able to live.

Although Zhou Feng was born in a proud family, he still couldn't bear to let his township party be consumed like this. But the more crucial factor that made him oppose it was that he felt it was not worth it. The reason why Dai Qi and Li Chen still want to fight, although they didn't say it explicitly, but Zhou Feng knew it as soon as he guessed, it was nothing more than because the two of them were the direct commanders of this defeat, so they went back like this, and it was not clear whether their lives could be met, but the future was definitely gone, so it was better to gamble now, ask for troops in the rear, and fight again.

This is the same as a gambler who plays a game, the person who loses all his money will never think of stopping there, but will borrow money and continue gambling, thinking of turning it over.

Zhou Feng can understand the thoughts of the two, but I'm sorry, he can't accompany the two to gamble. The thousand soldiers under him are his belongings, and the power of his Zhou family is there. And why risk it with the two.

In the end, neither side could convince anyone, and it could only reach a stalemate. Zhou Feng is the most powerful faction in the battalion, and if he doesn't agree to send troops, then he can't do it. And Dai Qi was entrusted by Chen Qi in danger, and there was great righteousness, he didn't say that he would withdraw the army, and Zhou Feng didn't dare to pull the troops back.

But the three-day stalemate finally ended with the news of the arrival of the Tarzan Bandit cavalry.

Dai Qi and Li Chen no longer said anything about sticking to and waiting for help, and now they have reached the point where they can live or not, so don't think about the reversal.

They were all smart people, and when they learned that the Taishan army was from the west to pass Wenshui, they guessed that the Lu soldiers in the west were probably gone. Originally, they also planned to send someone to contact Lu Guobing, wanting them to go east and directly attack the Fenggao stronghold of the Taishan thieves, but they hadn't sent anyone yet, and Lu Guobing couldn't count on it.

There is no way, then you can only retreat. Fortunately, their fleet is on the water, and as long as they get on the boat, they are safe.

So when Zhang Chong sounded the horn of summoning troops, the camp of Jibei was also preparing to retreat. They sent Chen Qi, the seriously ill minister of Jibei, to the infantry and began to organize the retreat of the army.

In order for this retreat to be successful, there is a necessary condition, that is, there must be a broken rear force. There is no broken rear force in front to block the enemy's attack, and if you want to retreat in an orderly manner, it is a dream.

But no one wants to do it after a break, because it's not only dangerous but also demanding. The danger is easy to understand, after all, if you can break it, you will definitely not leave many soldiers for you. Isn't it dangerous to resist the enemy's soldiers with weak soldiers? But this job is also particularly testing, imagine, when your robe has been safe, you are still on the battlefield precarious, do you want to run? Will you be resentful, why should you give others the opportunity to live, and stay and die?

Therefore, the troops after the general break are either non-descendants who are not treated by the main general, or they are strong troops who are good at guarding. Moreover, once you do a break, then I'm sorry, all the tasks will be handed over to you in the future. This is the two masters who do not bother with one thing.

Therefore, when retreating, it was necessary to choose the troops after the break, and all the generals set their eyes on Zhou Feng, because he fully met the conditions of the break, and he was not welcomed if he had the strength.

But Zhou Feng is also strong in his heart, so many people are staring at him, he can be as if nothing has happened, motionless, just don't say anything. Because he knows that time is on the side of a powerful man like him.

Sure enough, Dai Qi, who couldn't wait the most, took the initiative to propose and draw funds to decide who would be the queen of the palace. Li Chen and Zhou Feng took a bamboo chip from him, and whoever was short would be in charge of the palace. Li Chen had no problem, and Zhou Feng couldn't refuse clearly, so he decided to make a decision.

The final result is not unexpected, it is Zhou Feng.

Looking at the short chip in his hand, although Zhou Feng didn't know what trick Dai Qi was playing, he knew that he had been tricked. But to this extent, he can only swallow this hatred and only keep it in his heart.

Zhou Feng has two generals under him, Liu Yan and Pan Wei. One is his subordinate general, and the other is his brother-in-law. In the end, he chose Ai Jiang as the queen team, not because he loved his brother-in-law so much, but because he understood that if this person's temperament was broken, none of them would be able to live. On the contrary, it was Liu Yan, who could be trusted the most, and handed over the task to him after the break, which was right.

Sometimes things are often like this, you are abandoned not necessarily because you are incompetent, on the contrary, it is precisely because you are capable and trustworthy that you will be used as an outcast.

Because those who have the ability are called outcasts, and those who are not capable are called Feizi.

In this way, the soldiers of Jibei opened the camp gate in the direction of Wenshui in the west, and the first to come out was 500 chariots, and they pushed 50 chariots to line up along the Daqi to the ferry.

Then a general with the banner of "Liu" built fortifications based on these cars, and wanted to build a compound road with this, so that Daqi could be directly connected to Wenshui Ferry.

At the same time, the southeast "Ding", "Dian" and "Guo" three departments also came in a hurry, in the sun, the first soldier was full of morale, obviously the three days of repair and the arrival of Qu Kui, so that they were full of fighting spirit again.

A great war broke out.
