After the sudden death of the old king of Cuizhu Kingdom, Tian Long's coalition army led the two countries to take advantage of the danger to give him a painful blow, but after the victory of capturing Gucheng, he was defeated by Prime Minister Miao in Zizhu Valley, and he was captured alive by the army of Cuizhu Kingdom. Su Claw fled to Gucheng in embarrassment, and Guan Tong, the chief soldier of Gucheng City, was an old subordinate of Marshal Tian Long, and he went out to fight with Tian Long for many years. Guan Zongbing understood the severity of the current situation, his own soldiers defending the city were only more than 3,000 people, and Marshal Tian Long's main force had been wiped out. Prime Minister Miao Wen will definitely lead their victorious army and rush towards Gucheng. With the current strength of the coalition army, fighting hard with the army of the Cuizhu Kingdom is no different from hitting a stone with an egg. Guan Tong's general army hurriedly sent people to the imperial court to report the battle situation to King Shusheng, asking for urgent support, and led the defenders to the Xuantan River Valley to prevent the Cuizhu Kingdom army led by Prime Minister Miao from coming to recover Gucheng. Guan Tong thought that if the army of the Cuizhu Kingdom was waiting for the city to sit in the city, it would be better to seize the time to stop them from entanglement outside the city, once the army of the Cuizhu Kingdom descended from the river valley to the valley city, it would be difficult for the rescuers sent by the scholar king to enter the city gate, which would cause a great disadvantage to the city.

After the scholar king learned of the situation, he immediately felt that the situation was very critical, Marshal Tian Long was the backbone of his kingdom, and his own royal sister Princess Yuping married Tian Long, and now the top priority is to quickly unite with the beast king of the Linshi country again to organize the alliance to go to the river valley to help. Do everything possible to rescue the captured Marshal Tian Long. After deliberation, it was decided that this time the scholar king and the beast king would personally lead the army. The King of the Beasts is a brave and unscrupulous man. When he heard that the coalition forces had suffered a crushing defeat, he flew into a rage. The elite forces of his kingdom's army led him as the vanguard to the Xuantan River Valley.

Prime Minister Miao and the young king, the protector of the queen mother, led the victorious army to rush in the direction of Gucheng. Prime Minister Miao Cheng is good at analyzing the development of the military situation, and he understands that the enemy coalition forces will definitely not stop there, and they will organize more important military forces to deal with it as quickly as possible. In particular, Tian Long, the commander of the coalition forces, was captured alive in his own barracks. The scholar king will definitely find a way to come to the rescue. When the army of the Cuizhu Kingdom marched to a place three kilometers away from Gucheng in the valley area, Guan Tong had already led the defenders of Gucheng to form a blocking force on the road leading to Gucheng. I saw General Su Claw, who had just been defeated and fled, riding a horse, holding a big sword, his eyes wide with anger, ready to fight with the army of the Cuizhu Kingdom. Because he did not know the situation of the enemy army, Prime Minister Miao ordered the army to stop, line up in formation, and prepare to send a capable soldier to engage Su Claw. At this time, General Guan Xiong, the commander of the former Valley City, did not wait for Prime Minister Miao to speak, so he drove his horse, brandished his spear, and rushed directly to fight with Su Claw. Although Su Claw is a tiger general, Guan Xiong is not an idle person. On the avenue of the river valley, the two generals fought desperately, because General Guan wanted to avenge the defeat of the Gucheng soldiers, only to see his spear straight into the vital point of Su Claw rushing to kill, Su Claw picked his big knife, at first only had the power to parry, but did not fight back. The horses of the two generals spun back and forth on the battlefield, and the fierce neighing of the horses resounded throughout the valley. Slowly, because Su Claw's martial arts cultivation was above Guan Xiong's, General Guan gradually fell into disadvantage. But the sober-minded General Su Claw knew that before the rescue army of the Kingdom Alliance Army arrived, the only way to hold off the army of the Cuizhu Kingdom was to wait outside Gucheng. If Guan Xiong can be defeated in a short period of time, and then the thousands of soldiers led by Guan Tong will enter the army of the Cuizhu Kingdom with tens of thousands of soldiers, then they will be outnumbered, and they will soon be defeated again, so that the army of the Cuizhu Kingdom will rush out and enter the empty defense of the valley city, then they will take the lead to gain a strategic advantage, and even if the kingdom alliance arrives to win as soon as possible, it will be a very hot thing.

So Su Claw continued to fight with Guan Xiong here, and the two fought for about two hours. Prime Minister Miao Cheng, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, observed that if Guan Xiong wanted to defeat Su Claw, it was impossible, and Prime Minister Miao Cheng knew Su Claw's intentions very well, and it would be bad for Guan Xiong to drag it out like this, and it would not be good for the progress of the war of the kingdom's army. Prime Minister Miao ordered the soldiers to withdraw their troops, and General Guan, who was already out of breath, turned his horse's head and retreated with a false shot. Su Claw didn't chase and kill. Continue to block the avenue to prevent the Cuizhu Kingdom army from rushing over.

At this time, I saw that the dust was flying in the direction of Gucheng, and the war horses were neighing, and the Beast King, who was the vanguard of the coalition army, had led the army to chase after him. Prime Minister Miao Cheng found that the opportunity to reach Gucheng and attack the city first had been lost. The Beast King's rescue army had arrived, and it would not be wise to rush again. Therefore, Prime Minister Miao simply ordered the kingdom's army to camp in the river valley, preparing to fight a tough battle with the enemy army here. After the army of the Beast King came, due to the fatigue of the march, he also remained stationary for the time being, and set up camp in the river valley opposite where the army of the Cuizhu Kingdom was stationed.

King Scholar led an army to follow, and King Scholar's army directly entered the empty valley city, because in order to block the army of the Cuizhu Kingdom that came all the way, the general army defending the city and the fleeing Su Claw almost poured the entire city's troops into the river valley. The most important thing for King Scholar to come this time is to rescue Tian Long, the king of the kingdom, from the military camp of the Cuizhu Kingdom. After leaving a part of the soldiers behind the king to arrange the defense of the valley city, he immediately rushed to the river valley with his soldiers and horses to meet the king of the beasts, preparing to take measures to rescue Tian Long.

The scholar king was a scholar, well-read poetry and books, and proficient in the art of war. He advocates the skillful use of the art of war, the gods are elusive, the soldiers do not cut blood, and even surrender without a fight. He knew that if he wanted to rescue Tian Long and take the hard method of attacking, he would force Miao Wen and the Queen Mother of Cuizhu Kingdom to jump over the wall in a hurry. At present, in order to achieve the purpose of bargaining, the scholar king guesses that the Cuizhu Kingdom will not let Tian Long suffer for the time being. The Beast King was a rude man, and he clamored to lead his army to fight the Bamboo Kingdom's army, because he always believed that with his good strength, he would be able to kill the soldiers of the Bamboo Kingdom. The scholar king stopped him. In order to stabilize him, King Scholar warned him that he had a way to rescue Tian Long first, and then defeat the Cuizhu Kingdom, capture the Queen Mother of the Cuizhu Kingdom, and reward him for entertainment. The staff of the Beast King suggested to him that he should do what the Scholar King had arranged, because he would take a strong attack without a plan to maximize the defeat of the Cuizhu Kingdom, but even if they were defeated, they would have a way to return to the dynasty. Once the Queen Mother retreats to the court, it will be very difficult for the Beast King to capture her.

The armies of both sides stood still and were stationed in the valley facing each other. The scholar king saves people's hearts. In the middle of the night when the soldiers of the military camps on both sides were resting, taking advantage of the night, he led Ye Changfei and a few other entourages to the high ground of the river valley to observe the movements of the enemy around them. The scholar king found that it was the Xuantan River Valley in the autumn harvest season, and the rice fields in the entire valley were growing very well, and the golden ears of rice hung on the rice grass, pressing the rice rice very low and very low. The army of the Tsuizhu Kingdom was stationed in a valley surrounded by rice paddies. The view is very beautiful in the moonlight. The seasonal drought during this period has torn cracks in the rice paddies of the river valley. King Scholar suddenly noticed the imprudentness of Prime Minister Miao Wen's garrison, how to break the enemy and rescue Tian Long, King Scholar had his own strategy.

When the scholar returned to the camp, he asked his generals to strengthen their defenses only during the day, and that no one should attack without his orders. He first assigned Ye Changfei to enter the military camp of the Cuizhu Kingdom alone in the middle of the night at dawn, and used his ability to be haunted at night and fly the eaves and spine, and found out the place where Tian Long was imprisoned. Then some soldiers were arranged to prepare torches and prepare for action at night.

When it was dark, the two armies were not fighting, and the soldiers all went into the camp to rest, and only the soldiers of the night watch to watch the movements of their respective enemy forces. The scholar king arranged for dozens of elite soldiers to lurk in the front barracks with unlit torches, waiting for orders. When the wind picked up at night in the valley, King Scholar immediately ordered the soldiers lurking in the barracks to light torches, rush into the barracks of the Cuizhu Kingdom, and throw torches one after another in the rice fields around their barracks. Because of the dry weather, the rice is ripe, and the rice fields are burning at the sight of the fire. Coupled with the help of the wind in the river valley at night, the military camp of the Cuizhu Kingdom was surrounded by fire in a short time. Prime Minister Miao Cheng found that the military camp was on fire, and knew that he had fallen for the dangerous plan of the scholar king, so he immediately organized the soldiers to put out the fire, and suddenly the military camp of the Cuizhu Kingdom was in chaos. Taking advantage of this opportunity, King Scholar ordered Guan Tong and Ye Changfei to rush straight to the camp where Tian Long was being held with dozens of elite soldiers. The soldiers of the Cuizhu Kingdom only cared about fighting the fire and had no time to care about transferring Tian Long, so in this way, Ye Changfei and Guan Tong rescued Tian Long from the enemy without much effort.

Because the scholar king feared that his army would suffer fire if it penetrated deep into the valley, he did not order his soldiers to take advantage of this opportunity to fight in the enemy camp. After rescuing Tian Long, in order to let the army of the Cuizhu Kingdom extinguish the fire and save the river grain production, so that his army could gain something after winning the battlefield, King Shusheng simply ordered all the soldiers to retreat to Gucheng. Close the gates of the city and do not go out.

Without the pursuit of the enemy army, Prime Minister Miao Cheng organized his soldiers to extinguish the fire that started from the rice fields. The barracks were burned to the ground. In order to reorganize, Prime Minister Miao ordered the army to retreat two or three kilometers directly and re-encamp.
