On this day, Wu Ren, Ji Dashao and Tao Xun rarely got together.

There was a rare look of relief on their faces.

They were really busy for a while, and finally delivered the grain and grass to the designated place.

Last time, Governor Lu mentioned in his letter that Pingzhou was going to send troops to attack the East China Sea, and asked them to help solve part of the grain and grass problem, and gave several alternative locations, which they needed to secretly transport grain and grass over.

After they summed it up, they picked a place that everyone thought was good, and then divided the tasks, and each person was responsible for a part.

In order to complete this mission, they are all riveted.

Needless to say, Tao Xun has geographical advantages. After all, the Tao family has been in Qingzhou for many years, and the foundation is still there, and this foundation can radiate to Xuzhou next to it.

As for their Ji family, they are victorious at home, and they have semicolons in Qingzhou, Xuzhou and the East China Sea.

Although the East China Sea became the stronghold of the King of Jin, the Ji branch was abolished, and it was useless, but the rotten ship still had three catties of iron, and it could still be useful if it was pulled.

After Ji Dashao and Tao Xun completed the part they were responsible for, they looked back and saw that Wu Ren had also completed it.

Ji Dashao and Tao Xun: ......

For them, it was the most unexpected.

Tao Xun asked Wu Ren secretly, "You used the relationship of the Hu family?" ”

Ji Dashao was more direct, "You sacrificed hue?" ”

What they are talking about is that the head of the Hu family is a woman, this woman's name is Ding Xiang, known as Ding Shopkeeper, before she married into the Hu family, her husband was gone, and she kept watch.

The Hu family is thin, but they hold eye-catching wealth, which is coveted by relatives.

This woman is good at business and very bold, after she married in, she became the master of the house and supported the Hu family.

After the Pingzhou incident, the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce was put on a list of prohibited transactions by the Dali Imperial Court, and she also deliberately came to the door to seek cooperation.

Ji Dashao and Tao Xun looked at it coldly, and the relationship between the two was a bit unusual.

Wu Ren gave them a blank look, "Don't talk nonsense. ”

It is true that he borrowed Lilac's relationship, but she also took the opportunity to talk about some conditions that were not good to talk about before, and she is by no means the kind of person who will be carried away by feelings.

Tao Xun was quite curious about Wu Ren's thoughts, "Old Wu, what do you think?" ”

Ji Dashao touched his chin and continued, "If I remember correctly, she is two years older than you?" In addition, this shopkeeper is not very outstanding. ”

Lilacs are not the ones that are beautiful.

Hearing this, Wu Ren said lightly, "In this world, smart brains are more effective than beautiful faces. ”

In this troubled era, we must first ensure that we can survive before we can plan for the future.

If it is not in troubled times, but in prosperous times or peaceful times, he can be willful and marry a beautiful wife, at least the offspring he gives birth to are also beautiful.

Hearing this, Ji Dashao gave him a thumbs up, "Transparent, it's still Governor Lu who will train his apprentices." ”

Wu Ren smiled faintly, his master said that reading makes people wise. When he first met before, he could clearly feel the gap between him and Ji Dashao, but later as he improved, this feeling became weaker and weaker. In vain, his master kept sending him books.

Changan

Another six-hundred-mile urgent performance from Sun Ming arrived.

Taiwei Xiao Qun silently handed it to the emperor.

Song Mo took a look, and this time he no longer urged the imperial court to send troops to support, but wrote on the recital that if the imperial court could not support Yanmen and Daijun, he asked to lead troops to withdraw from Yanmen and Daijun, retreat to Xinxing City and Zhongshan City, and defend separately.

This was Sun Ming's helpless solution, and the imperial court reinforcements had not arrived for a long time.

Of the 100,000 soldiers of the Sun family's army, there are still 50,000 of them who still have combat effectiveness, and there are more than 10,000 wounded soldiers.

Of course, Xianbei's losses are also huge.

But Sun Ming just wants to keep some fire for Sun Jiajun now, don't fight it.

Song Mo looked at this twist and turn expressionlessly, his plan to conspire with Xie Zhan to eliminate the two kings was at a critical moment, and no changes would be allowed.

Song Mo coldly ordered, "Tell Sun Ming to keep him, he can't retreat!" ”

Tell yourself in your heart that you have to make a trade-off. Besides, Sun Ming and Pingzhou still have a head and tail, even if the Sun family army is gone in the end, it is not a pity.

……

Yang Yingqin, the general of the Zhenxi Army, received the emperor's order, and was galloping on the official road with 100,000 soldiers and horses, preparing to go north to Yanmen to support Sunjiamen.

The henchman was puzzled, "General, aren't we going to support the Sun family's army?"

Besides, hasn't the imperial court already united the two kings to encircle and suppress the traitor Xie Zhan? Why do you want them to go south to join in the fun? Obviously, the military situation in Yanmen in the north is urgent.

Just obey military orders, these are not for you to ask.

Yang Yingqin looked at the people who wrote on the secret decree and asked him to go to the south to listen to the orders of the other half of the Tiger Mansion, and he knew something strange in his heart.

Southland

Fang Xinkai is a general under the command of King Cheng, and he is also the main general who led 50,000 soldiers and horses in the southwest to encircle and suppress Xie Zhan.

And the general who led the troops on King Jin's side was Zhao Biao.

Fang Xinkai looked at the south gate of Lingnan, and said with a smile to Dong Guowei and Zhao Biao, "This city gate will be broken in less than three days." ”

Dong Guowei and Zhao Biao don't speak, isn't this something that anyone with a discerning eye can see?

Fang Xinkai recommended himself, "General Dong, from tomorrow, how about our army as the vanguard?" ”

As soon as these words came out, who didn't know what his idea was, and he wanted to take the lead.

Dong Guowei didn't speak, but the henchman next to him had something to say, "Why? "Their imperial army and Nandi have been fighting for so long, and when he sees that he is about to win the battle, he wants to come and pick peaches, why?

Fang Xinkai saw that Dong Guowei didn't say anything, and obviously didn't agree with his proposal, and Zhao Biao on the side was even more eye-to-nose and heart-to-heart.

Fang Xinkai returned to his military tent with a calm expression.

At this time, his henchmen hurriedly came in, "General, general, I have good news!" ”

Fang Xinkai was in an unhappy mood, and when he saw his henchman's face happy, he lazily asked casually, "What good news?" ”

"I just learned that there is a path that can bypass the city gate and go straight to the Yellow Dragon."

"What? Tell me what's going on? ”

"This is what a soldier of the Southern Army who played well with me told me before......"

After Fang Xinkai asked clearly, he asked a subordinate to bring someone to quietly verify the authenticity.

They had formed an alliance with Xie Tingshi before, and the armies of the two sides had also cooperated. Then, there are always one or two who hit it off at first sight and had a good time. Now that Nandi is in danger, it is possible for the other party to use this secret path to surrender.

A little later, Fang Xinkai was very happy to learn that the news was true, and he slapped his big palm on the shoulder of his henchman like a fan, "Good guy! Good job! ”

Fang Xinkai asked his subordinates to call.

During this time, he was constantly pacing back and forth in the military tent, and he wondered if he should fight.

Under the command of King Cheng, there are two generals, one is him and the other is Wei Kuang. But Fang Xinkai could feel that King Cheng was obviously more dependent on Wei Kuang.

Fang Xinkai felt that if he made great contributions in this battle to encircle and suppress Xie Zhan, he would definitely be able to surpass Wei Kuang and be valued by King Cheng.

After his subordinates came, he asked his subordinates for their opinions on this matter.

Someone agreed, "General, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if you can capture Xie Zhan alive, wouldn't it be a great achievement?" ”

Fang Xinkai stroked his beard, he thought the same way.

There are also people who disagree, "General, let's fight steadily and steadily, not seeking merit, but seeking no fault." ”

Fang Xinkai didn't think so, the prince had already agreed to recruit An, and in the future, there would be a lot less chance of meritorious service, unless Pingzhou or Xianbei would have the opportunity to make great contributions.

And whether it is a war with Xianbei or Pingzhou, this battle is estimated to be very difficult, and there are few opportunities to make great contributions.

This time it was to beat Xie Zhan, a water dog, a rare opportunity.

"Beware of deception." Subordinate reminders.

Fang Xinkai's henchmen knew that his general was already very moved, so he immediately refuted those who disagreed, "It's too much to worry about joining the army, it's a deception, don't forget that we are an army of 50,000, let's go straight in, even if we face the Chinese army in the south, we don't have to be angry." What does he, Xie Zhan, use to calculate us? ”
