The standard-bearer knew that the order to withdraw the army was issued, and the Daei army, which was fighting hard with the soldiers of the town army, was stunned at first, and then could only give up the matter in front of him and withdraw quickly.

Fan Wenzhong's side was also confused by the scene of the Darong army.

At first, I thought it was a suspicious soldier, but his face was still solemn and he maintained a defensive posture, but looking at the Darong army that was withdrawing one after another, it seemed that the Darong army was really withdrawing, and that kind of doubt existed in the minds of Fan Wenzhong and Xie Cang.

With Fan Wenzhong's understanding of the Cook technique, the sudden withdrawal of troops at the current critical moment is definitely not the so-called kindness, there must be some bigger scheme, or something is wrong.

This doubt did not last long, and after about half an hour, a piece of news came as quickly as the wind.

The strange army led by Su Qi'an, with the elite of the five cities, burned down the general granary in the rear of Kukeshu in one fell swoop.

This news, Fan Wenzhong confirmed to his subordinates several times, and after getting it true, Fan Wenzhong laughed loudly.

There was an unconcealable relief in the laughter.

This big battle has been fought for a month, and it can be said that they have been in a passive situation, even if there is any good news, they have only successfully resisted the attack of the Cook Shu army, as for taking the initiative, they dare not think about it.

But at this time, Su Qi'an brought him such a surprise.

With about 2,000 men and horses, he dared to go deep alone and burn down the general granary of Cookshu, if this news was not confirmed, Fan Wenzhong would not dare to believe it at all.

"Hahaha, this Xiao Su, the courage is not ordinary, it has brought us such great good news, I think that the withdrawal of the Kukeshu this time, most of it is also Xiao Su's trouble, we can be safe for the time being, and we have to thank him, when this war is over, the old man will personally give him the first credit."

"Old Fan, please wait for the future, the most important thing now is to figure out Mr. Su's location, after all, Mr. Su only has two thousand people, and he is alone, I think he should have become a thorn in the flesh of Cook's eyes at this time."

"The top priority is to get Mr. out as soon as possible."

Being Xie Cang so little, Fan Wenzhong nodded and said, "Xie Doll is right, this matter is that the old man is too happy and negligent." ”

Looking at his subordinates, "Can the observation desk receive Mr. Su's letter?" ”

The subordinate hurriedly took out a letter scroll from his body and handed it over, and Fan Wenzhong took it.

With a wave of his hand, only him and Xie Cang were left on the field, and the letter scroll was opened, and the two of them swept their eyes, looking at the letter scroll's gaze, which kept changing.

There was amazement, admiration, and finally admiration.

On the letter, although the battle was not described in detail, the reaction of the other side's withdrawal was enough to see the danger of this long drive.

Su Qi'an only informed him in the letter that he was still safe, but he did not plan to return.

What Su Qi'an means is that he is out of the town, and he will be of greater help to Zhenjuncheng, and he has no plans to return to the city yet.

The two of them still agree with Su Qi'an's statement, as long as Su Qi'an does not return to the city for a day, he continues to wander behind the Cook army.

Cook Shu had to be distracted, and divided his troops to deal with him, so that the pressure on Zhenjuncheng was reduced a lot.

But Su Qi'an's situation is very dangerous, which is equivalent to dancing on the tip of a knife.

Fan Wenzhong sighed, "In this battle, Mr. Su has made great efforts, so let's leave the troops of the Nine Cities to pay close attention to the situation in the rear of the Cook Shu army, and once there is a trace of Xiao Su, he will do his best to respond at all costs." ”

"If possible, the old man will also lead the soldiers of the military city to fully assist."

As soon as these words came out, Xie Cang's face was deeply moved.

Because Fan Wenzhong's words are not only full support for Su Qi'an, but also invisibly undermined the Ningzhou defensive front, and it is very likely that the imperial court will be held accountable for this matter.

Xie Cang's shock naturally couldn't escape Fan Wenzhong's eyes, he chuckled, looked into the distance, and said softly.

"Hehe, Xiao Xie, the old man has been fighting this battle for decades, since he took over Ningzhou, he said in his heart that he was aggrieved enough."

"Today, through Xiao Su's incident, the old man also figured out one thing, fighting a war, where is the so-called conformism, or that sentence, there will be no foreign military orders."

"The transfer of Jiucheng has touched the bottom line of the imperial court before, I think I'm afraid that at this time, the ministers in the imperial court have a lot of dissatisfaction with me, and they are probably discussing how to get me."

"It doesn't matter, the old man is also old, if this battle can be won, as Xiao Su thought, the old man and I are accompanying you little dolls, in the hot blood, what is it."

Fan Wenzhong stood on the city tower, the cold wind blew, blowing his white hair into chaos, it looked like the twilight of a veteran, but in Xie Cang's opinion, this was the generation of famous generals who crisscrossed the battlefield and terrified countless enemies, Fan Wenzhong.

Xie Cang didn't say anything, took a step back, stretched out his hand to Fan Wenzhong and bowed solemnly, and said loudly, "Junior, everything is as Fan Lao wants!" ”

Fan Wenzhong was right, not long after Kukeshu withdrew his troops, in the court, there was a lot of trouble about his mobilization of the troops of the Nine Cities and the destruction of the defensive front of Ningzhou.

The two sides were divided into two factions, one faction impeached Pham Van Chung with the firm impeachment of the civilian imperial history, and demanded that Pham Van Chung immediately return to Beijing for investigation.

The other faction, led by Zhao Guogong, asked to wait until the end of the war to let Fan Wenzhong return to Beijing to investigate.

As for the supporters, there is one who does not, and the other princes are centrists and do not say a word.

Just when the two sides were arguing, the most prestigious Chu State openly said, "How long the battle of Ningzhou lasts is all supported by Fan Wenzhong, and it is taboo to change generals in battle, and it is not advisable." ”

However, in order to stop the mouth of the civil official Yushi, the Duke of Chu suggested sending someone to the town of Juncheng to investigate, and everything would be determined after the end of the war.

When Chao Tianzi nodded and finally made a decision, he sent the supervisor Wang Xian to the town of Juncheng to investigate.

When this matter was reported back to Zhenjuncheng, Xie Cang's face was obviously very ugly, and he seemed to be very disgusted with this so-called Wang Xian.

Xie Cang was a little puzzled, "Old Fan, what's going on, why did you send this bastard to town the military city, isn't this a deliberate troublemaker?" ”

"I must ask about this, this is a bit too bullying."

Xie Cang looked angry, but was quickly stopped by Fan Wenzhong, who shook his head and said.

"Xie Doll, don't make trouble at this time, I think Brother Chu also has his troubles, now there are too many people in the court who want to bring him down, what Brother Chu can do is only to try to balance, maybe even he can't think of it, it is this Wang Xian who came to the town of Juncheng."

"Old Fan, what do you mean Your Majesty..."Xie Cang seemed to think of something, and as soon as he spoke, Fan Wenzhong frowned and made a boo at Xie Cang.

"Xie Doll, some things are not as simple as you seem on the surface, that person's mind is not something we can guess, what we can do now is to sit and wait for the arrival of the prison Wang Xian."

"Don't worry, the old man has been galloping on the battlefield for so many years, and he has never seen any wind and waves, and a eunuch wants to bring down the old man, and the old man has lived for so long in vain."

……

The words were divided into two ends, Su Qi'an burned the granary, and finally achieved the effect he wanted to see.

Kukshu finally withdrew, although temporarily, but at least it relieved the pressure on the town and the military city.

And Su Qi'an, who set fire to the general granary, quickly retreated as fast as he could.

After walking for about forty or fifty miles, as before, it was buried by the yellow sand again, quietly lurking.

As for the Darong army that pursued them, even if they had the intention to pursue, they were entangled by the elite of the five cities.

Not only that, on the second day after the successful burning of the main granary, the reinforcements from the five cities, about 30,000 people, who were ready to support at any time, directly launched an attack on the Daei army patrolling near the main granary.

This is a real surprise, the five cities support the army, dare to be so bold, is to value the emptiness of Cook's postoperative side.

With less than 10,000 troops left behind, there are more than 30,000 people, and if they can't win the battle, they will be blind.

However, this unequal war did not last long, and in less than half a day, Liu Shengming led 30,000 horses and horses to come back to help.

Liu Shengming is worthy of being a talent valued by Cookcraft, and he does have some means in terms of fighting.

It didn't take half a day to repel the reinforcements from the five cities, if it wasn't for the timely withdrawal of the reinforcements from the five cities, maybe they would really be surrounded by Liu Shengming.

This is not what Su Qi'an wants to see, but fortunately, these people have carried out Su Qi'an's orders thoroughly, and if they hesitate for a while, they will definitely be in big trouble.

These reinforcements were able to resolutely implement Su Qi'an's orders without perfunctory, not only because of Su Qi'an's command, but more importantly, Su Qi'an's identity after the so-called royal family that was not mentioned.

Here, Su Qi'an really knew how easy it was to use this royal identity after King Yongchuan.

He directly revealed his identity, and in cooperation with the people around him admired Su Qi'an's tactical command, these reinforcements from the five cities, each obeyed Su Qi'an's orders.

This is the identity of the royal family, from the princes and princes of the country to the common people, when they see the Su Liang royal family, even if it is a performance, they have to give some face.

In Da Liang, as long as the emperor's surname is Su, the identity of the Su Liang royal family is a human being.

Of course, there is a major premise for this kind of privileged identity, that is, you must have a certain strength and ability.

If you are like Su Qi'an, who was still a poor and talented talent at the beginning, if you want nothing, this identity can only be exchanged for endless ridicule.

And now Su Qi'an, the identity of Su Liang's royal family, is the biggest stepping stone to help him climb up.

To put it bluntly, it is gilding, this method Su Qi'an understands quite well, in his previous life, this is called marketing.

The return defense of the five-city reinforcements can be regarded as completing the task assigned by Su Qi'an, and the next thing to do is to change to the five-city reinforcements to harass Liu Shengming back and forth.

But Su Qi'an and the others have a bolder plan, that plan is what Su Qi'an has always wanted to do, and once it is done, it will definitely reverse the passive situation of the war in Ningzhou.
