Early in the morning, when Qiao Chongliang, who was on the road overnight, rushed to Zhang Yuanyuan's camp outside the east gate of Anshu County with two hundred cavalry and three hundred foot soldiers, Zhang Yuanyuan was still dreaming of the woman who had been captured from the road. Now that the four gates of Anshu City are besieged, the officers and soldiers in the city have absolutely no courage to come out and die, life is short, why not have fun in time? So Zhang Yuanyuan is relieved to sleep with a bold woman.

When Zhang Yuanyuan's personal soldier Zhang Dade stood outside the tent and loudly informed Zhang Yuanyuan that the owner of the second village wanted to see him, Zhang Yuanyuan was sleeping like a pig's head. Zhang Yuanyuan, who was sleeping with a woman in his arms but was woken up by the sound of the soldiers, was very angry, and before he could hear what the soldiers were saying, he was very impatient and scolded in the warm bed: "Damn, are you screwed up? Who is this early in the morning? Do you want people to sleep well?"

Zhang Dade, a personal soldier, hurriedly replied loudly outside the camp tent: "Qiqi Dazhai master, it is the second village master who is here, and the second village master asks to see him!" Zhang Yuanyuan, who was sleeping lazily, was frightened, isn't Qiao Chongliang, the second village master, in the old camp of Jiejia Mountain? What is he doing here? Could it be that there is an enemy who knows that Jiejia Mountain is empty, and the raid is to understand Jiashan, and Qiao Chongliang came here to ask for help?

Zhang Yuanyuan's drowsiness disappeared immediately, and he immediately said loudly: "Call him in!" As he spoke, he hurriedly got dressed and got up from the bed. As soon as Zhang Yuanyuan put on his pants and shirt, Qiao Chongliang said outside the tent to see the master of the big village, and entered the camp tent as soon as the curtain was lifted. Qiao Chongliang entered the big tent, but he turned a blind eye to the bewitching woman on Zhang Yuanyuan's bed, and bowed very respectfully to Zhang Yuanyuan.

Zhang Yuanyuan saw that Qiao Chongliang, a dusty thinker, had arrived, and hurriedly said with a smile on his face: "Yo, the second master, why are you here? What's the matter, something is going on at home?"

Qiao Chongliang sat on the brocade pier and shook his head, "Big boss, there is nothing going on at home, I was afraid that something would happen to you, so I came quickly." I heard that you suffered a defeat outside Yujiang City?"

Zhang Yuanyuan's face flushed, he smiled a little embarrassedly, waved his hand, and said in a hi voice, "Chongliang, don't mention it, damn it, Lao Tzu brought six thousand elite soldiers to Yujiang City, thinking that he could easily defeat Xie Pengcheng, who thought that there was a madman named Wang Changlong, who also rushed to Yujiang with three thousand soldiers and horses from the Weiwang Mansion, I was still on the march, this madman commanded his men and horses to attack me, this person is too crazy to fight, and he is very desperate, plus Xie Pengcheng helped him, but let him defeat me!"

Qiao Chongliang smiled bitterly: "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and no one can always win, besides, he has a calculation or no intention, so it is normal for us to lose! It's just that after you lose, why don't you retreat dozens of miles to the village, repair it, regroup and fight again, but you directly give up Yujiang and think about coming to fight Anshu City? This Anshu City is the location of Weiwang's Mansion, but it is not so easy to fight!"

Zhang Yuanyuan said: "Our army is all elite soldiers, has always been victorious and undefeated, how did I think that in Yujiang suffered such a big loss, killed hundreds of people, injured thousands, a battle will be lost spirit, I originally wanted to take the opportunity to relieve the siege of Luye, then I thought about it, Wei Wangfu is not sure what kind of moth, don't go and hit the scheme, suddenly remembered that the envoy of the Jiannan Wangfu said before, gather a few teams to attack Anshu, I just thought about taking them to Anshu to try their luck, if you can break Anshu City in time, but also out of this evil breath!"

Qiao Chongliang sneered: "Just rely on Ji Tianda, He Yongjiang, and a few of their rice buckets, with a gang of rabble, they can take Anshu County? It is absolutely impossible! Niu Mandi is using them as cannon fodder, let them drag the Weiwang Mansion here, and prevent the Weiwang Mansion from coming out, fortunately, Jianzhou can take Tang Jiusheng! I heard that tens of thousands of thieves from the southwest road have also gone to Jianzhou, and it must be the men and horses of Pingxi Wang Yinquan, who have come to help the cattle all over the land!"

When Zhang Yuanyuan heard this news that surprised him, he couldn't help laughing, and the fat on his face trembled, "Chongliang, thanks to you for bringing this good news, since this is the case, then Tang Jiusheng is not dead? ”

Qiao Chongliang shook his head, took the hot tea bowl from Zhang Yuanyuan's personal soldier Zhang Dade, took a sip, and then said: "Lord Dazhai, according to my judgment, Tang Jiusheng can destroy the cattle all over the land, but the cattle all over the land can't destroy Tang Jiusheng." Don't look at the help of Yin Quan in Niu Mandi now, it is also a blind toss, he has been running in Jiannan Road for more than ten years, it can be said that the people of Jiannan have lost their hearts, and the people will grit their teeth when they mention his name, and they can't wait to die with him! Let's mess with him, there is absolutely no future!"

Zhang Yuanyuan was surprised: "Now I'm afraid that there are 20,000 or 30,000 people under the city of Jianzhou, and there are more than 10,000 people under the city of Anshu County, close to 20,000 people, this is not enough to overthrow Tang Jiusheng? You still don't know the character of the man who is full of cows, if we really annoy him, it won't look good, and he will definitely give us little shoes to wear in the future!"

Qiao Chongliang sneered: "Dazhai master, I'm afraid that I can't wait for that day, Niu Mandi will be finished first! He is now looking for these bandits to attack the city, but they are just a group of bandits with their own ghosts, if they really want to meet each other, they will be instigated first! We can't follow them to get into trouble, we have to stand still and wait and see what happens, we can defeat the soldiers and horses of Weiwangfu, but in the end we have to accept the recruitment of Weiwangfu, and we have to do this is the best way out." ”

Zhang Yuanyuan glared at his fat eyes that had narrowed, "Chongliang, you said this, I still don't understand!"

Qiao Chongliang took another sip of tea, put the tea bowl back on the desk, and asked unhurriedly: "Lord Dazhai, then let me ask you, with our current strength, even if our eight thousand elite soldiers are not damaged, can we dominate in a county, can we be the king and hegemon in Jiannan Dao, can we be the king and hegemon in the Great Shang Country?"

Zhang Yuanyuan thought for a while, "If it is only in one county, maybe it can be called the king and hegemon, if the Wei Wangfu or the Jingluo Yamen mobilize heavy troops, most of us will suffer, as for the entire Great Shang Kingdom, then don't think about it, this little bit of soldiers and horses is really not enough to do anything!"

Qiao Chongliang clapped his hands and smiled: "The master of Dazhai is wise! Do you think, with our current strength, give us a county town, we may be able to play, give a Jiannan Dao, I am afraid we will not be able to do it, and give us the entire Dashang will be even more impossible, not only the problem of troops, now let you sit on the dragon chair of that Yong'an City, do you know how to manage a huge country?"

Zhang Yuanyuan shook his head, "I, of course, I can't manage a country, let alone sit in Yong'an City to manage a country, as long as I leave you, I can't manage a county!" Zhang Yuanyuan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he laughed, "Chongliang, I understand what you mean! You mean that we can't do it, and Niu Mandi is not much stronger than us! He relies on his subordinates to make do with these gangsters in Jiannan Road, and if he wants to fight for the world, it is a big dream!"

Qiao Chongliang nodded and smiled: "Master Dazhai, you understand what I mean, you see, we want to fight for the world, there is no door, there are not enough soldiers and horses, and there are not enough talents! You only have me as a think tank, and I am just a talent who is not in the first place, although I have a few more exams, I am very likely to be in the exam, but it is estimated that it will be the end, and it is impossible to pass the Jinshi." You said that you became the emperor and I came to be the prime minister, and my talent was completely insufficient. If you change people, you may not be at ease, so you have to do what you can, and wear as big a hat as you have a head!"

Zhang Yuanyuan smacked his lips, "Oh, Chongliang, I still don't understand, you said that this cow is full of people and the people of the king of Pingxi have surrounded Jianzhou, and the king of Wei is in the city with wings and it is difficult to fly, why can't the cow be full of land? As long as Tang Jiusheng is killed on the Jianzhou side, and we take Anshu County here, won't it all be done! What else is there to fear?"

Qiao Chongliang cocked Erlang's legs, clasped his arms in front of his chest, and sneered: "Lord of the Great Village, do you really think that those men and horses outside Jianzhou City can recapture Jianzhou? Don't forget, that Wei Wang Tang Jiusheng won Jianzhou with 3,000 soldiers and horses! If I and Niu Mandi change positions, I won't give Tang Jiusheng 3,000 soldiers and horses a chance to take Jianzhou, and I won't sit back and wait for Tang Jiusheng to go to Jianzhou to get rid of Ye Tengjiao before I think of doing it!"

Zhang Yuanyuan's curiosity came up, and he asked with a smile: "Lao Tzu still doesn't believe it, then the court will seal a Wei king, what else can you do as a strategic envoy?"

Qiao Chongliang said proudly: "Since I have long had the ambition to become a hero, I will not sit back and watch the imperial court seal a Wei Wang slowly encroach on me on my fiefdom, anyway, sooner or later, then hurry up or not, I'm afraid that when the Wei King is still on the road, I will already send someone to get rid of him, and I can still let him walk comfortably to the fief? Since the two sides have reached the point where you live and die, that is, you die, I live!"

Zhang Yuanyuan shook his head and smiled: "Chongliang, if you sit here and talk about empty words, how easy it is, you don't want to think about it, who in the entire rivers and lakes doesn't know that King Wei's martial arts are strong, how can he be assassinated so easily?"

Qiao Chongliang laughed and said: "If the assassination can't be done, it will be killed, no matter how powerful King Wei is, I can't kill him by giving up thousands of elite soldiers? Besides, have you seen our Niu Wang Ye do it? He sat back and watched King Wei come to the way of the sword, and when he arrived at the fiefdom, he watched the king of Wei lead his troops out to suppress the bandits, and then recruited thousands of bandits, and initially established his prestige in the south of the sword. What are we doing at this time? We didn't do anything, just sat back and watched! When Tang Jiusheng got Ye Tengjiao's head, he was in a hurry! Do you say this is the vision that a person who does great things should have?"

Zhang Yuanyuan was speechless for a moment, and slapped his thigh after a while, "Oh, if you don't analyze it for me, I really can't think of these twists and turns!

Qiao Chongliang said with a smile: "Just like us, occupying Jiejia Mountain and claiming to be the king, it wasn't that the cattle didn't want to eat us before, he had that strength, but as an army raised by the imperial court, that."

There is a fixed number of troops! He can only raise his own dignity, and even collude with us people in order to have enough troops in the event of an incident in the future! However, when the imperial court guards the king and controls Jiannandao, he should clearly see that the imperial court has already decided to attack Jiannandao! What is there to hesitate about at this time? If you die or not, why not fight?"

Zhang Yuanyuan nodded, thought for a while and asked in a low voice: "Well, what you said makes sense, but even if he gets Tang Jiusheng, the officials of Jiannan Dao may not obey him!"

Qiao Chongliang stretched out the fingers of his left hand, and counted with his hand: "We have eight counties in Jiannan, and I summoned the county guards to Luye City to report on their work, is there anything wrong with them? Originally, Jiannandao was under his rule, and it was enough to replace all those disobedient county guards and county orders with their own people! As for those ordinary people, as long as they have something to eat, they will not rise up!"

Zhang Yuanyuan laughed, clapped his hands and said, "Oh, Chongliang, I can't think of this." I really don't see that you can have such a bad idea! That's right, if you do it like this, the officials will definitely get this thing done!"

Qiao Chongliang said: "But our Niu Wangye now wants to be a prince, he just watched King Wei do a good job in the government affairs of Anshu County, the people of Anshu also settled down, and the people in Jianzhou County saw hope, so he ran to Anshu to sue Ye Tengjiao! But our Mr. Niu actually sat there indifferently and watched, until the Ma family in Changshi Town sent him a letter informing him that the people of Wei Wangfu had arrested Ma Dashao, and he realized that the problem was serious, and then he remembered to resist! Isn't this confused? What did you do earlier? ”

Zhang Yuanyuan said: "Then you see, there is no chance for the cattle all over the ground?"

Qiao Chongliang said: "Now, it's late." Jianzhou has been taken by King Wei, Anshu is also difficult for us to take, Yujiang is also occupied by King Wei's people, and now Jiangzhou, Huzhou, Xuantong, and Lianshan have also declared their allegiance to the imperial court and obeyed King Wei. The eight counties of Jiannan, with the exception of Luye City and Songshan County, which are under Niu Mandi's own rule, have all changed hands! How do you say this battle will be fought now?"

Zhang Yuanyuan still didn't want to believe that Niu Mandi couldn't do it, and asked again: "But the king of Pingxi has sent tens of thousands of horses and horses to help him, and the two of them can't get Tang Jiusheng together?"

Qiao Chongliang's mouth was dry, so he simply put down Erlang's legs, took another sip of tea, and then said: "Do you think, King Pingxi didn't lead his own troops to personally kill Jiannan? That's because King Pingxi's soldiers and horses are not enough to rebel now! Even if the two of them team up to take Jiannan, they will definitely lose their troops! Moreover, King Pingxi is obviously unwilling to put himself in at this time, so he let his subordinates pretend to be thieves and enter Jiannan Road! More than 10,000 soldiers and horses may be enough to fight a county town, and it is a drop in the bucket in the entire Jiannan! Now that King Wei himself is in Jianzhou again, how can King Wei's Mansion not do everything to protect Jianzhou?"

Zhang Yuanyuan smiled reluctantly: "Even if the Weiwang Mansion wants to protect Jianzhou, then Jianzhou doesn't mean that it is foolproof, at least Jianzhou was also a descendant of cattle all over the land before, in case someone in the city opens the city gate without permission, it is not known who will kill the deer!"

Qiao Chongliang was tired of sitting down, stood up, paced in the camp tent, and said slowly: "King Wei will never give Niu Man's men and horses any chance, since he can take Jianzhou with lightning speed, he must have already taken countermeasures, how can he use people who are not at ease to guard the city gate? I heard that Niu Mandi's fierce generals Ning Chenggang, Hou Jingxian and others have surrendered to King Wei, or surrender with soldiers, is it possible that when Jianzhou cannot be attacked for a long time and the food and grass are scarce, the soldiers outside the city will not surrender?"

Zhang Yuanyuan, who originally had illusions about the cows, was cold by Qiao Chongliang's words. Zhang Yuanyuan swallowed his saliva with difficulty, "Chongliang, listening to your analysis, it seems that there is no drama all over the ground." It seems that I have to plan early, but I just went over and surrendered to Tang Jiusheng, how could he attach importance to us?"

Qiao Chongliang said helplessly: "I originally thought that we would defeat Xie Pengcheng under Yujiang City, and then negotiate with the Wei Wangfu that there are indeed capable people in the Wei Wangfu, and our information is not timely." Otherwise, if we intercept the reinforcements of the Weiwang Mansion on the road, and don't give him a chance to rendezvous with Xie Pengcheng, how can we lose? Generally speaking, Niu Mandi has smashed a handful of cards that are okay, think about it carefully, some things are that people are not as good as heaven! There is no future with Niu Mandi!"

Zhang Yuanyuan turned his head and looked at the bewitching woman who had been robbed from the road on his bed, and suddenly he had no sexual interest. Zhang Yuanyuan scolded fiercely: "Damn, I thought that I could do a great job with Niu Mandi, who would have thought that his vision was not as good as my second master! I should have known that I should have let him let you do it! Forget it, I will listen to you, I will stand still outside this Anshu City!"
