The two armies finally fought against each other on the official road, and Huo Yunsheng felt that his side did not occupy anything, so he found the body of Captain Dou Dayong in the field outside the city, and his head had been cut off.

Huo Yunsheng was furious when he heard the news, Dou Dayong was the first fierce general under him, he had followed him for many years, and he had many military exploits, but he didn't expect to die outside this Jianzhou City inexplicably. In just a few days, he lost two generals one after another, and even he was unfortunately hit by an arrow, and he was really anxious. After Huo Yunsheng dealt with the arrow wound, he summoned his lieutenants and staff to the Chinese military tent to discuss countermeasures.

Hu Qiuren, a subordinate lieutenant, stood up and made a suggestion: "General, my subordinates think that we should withdraw all the soldiers and generals to the east gate, eat the reinforcements of the Weiwang Mansion first, and then consider the problem of attacking the city! Otherwise, we will not be able to deal with the current situation, and it will be dangerous if we are flanked by the front and rear." ”

Hu Qiuren's proposal was supported by most of the lieutenants and staff, but a small number of lieutenants expressed opposition, because once the remaining three gates were withdrawn at the same time, it would be easy to transport supplies from outside the city.

Huo Yunsheng listened to everyone's arguments, and was also a little undecided, and at this moment, a junior colonel came in and reported, "General Qiyu, there is a book that has been passed on by the Yamen Flying Pigeon." Huo Yunsheng hurriedly took the letter and read it, and after reading it, his face was happy.

Captain Hu Qiuren saw Huo Yunsheng's face with joy, and asked with a smile on the side: "General, is there any reinforcement from the Yamen who has been sent by the Economic Strategy?" Huo Yunsheng heard Hu Qiuren say this, his face was different, and what he said in the letter was the same as Hu Qiuren's guess.

Huo Yunsheng laughed and said: "Hu Qiuren, I really didn't see it! You have been in our army for four years, and you have been unknown, and today you can actually guess such a confidential matter, very good, I am going to promote you!" Hu Qiuren was immediately appointed as the captain of the Zhongyi Battalion and asked him to command the thousands of soldiers in the Zhongyi Battalion. The so-called thousands of troops are easy to obtain, and one general is hard to find, which is the case.

Hu Qiuren was overjoyed and stepped forward to thank Huo Yunsheng. Huo Yunsheng learned that the strong general Lin Guanqin had led 5,000 soldiers and horses on the way to Jianzhou, and immediately decided to wait for Lin Guanqin to arrive, and if he did not move the soldiers and horses of the other three gates, he would definitely trap Jianzhou City.

Besides, Jin Chengzhang, who was bold and careful, led the army to march from the fields, bypassed Huo Yunsheng's camp, and went down to the village five miles below the city, but did not enter the city.

The soldiers and civilians in the city knew that there were reinforcements in the Weiwang Mansion again, and their morale was greatly boosted, and Jin Chengzhang's team protected the east gate, and they were not in a hurry to start a war for some reason, waiting for a good opportunity. Shui Ruyue took Zu Qingqiu, the eccentric monk and Shen Xiaoyu and others into the city, Tang Jiusheng saw Shui Ruyue and was overjoyed, only Xiahou Lingyu was slightly sad when he saw Shui Ruyue. The eldest wife who is being married by the media is here, and she has to stand back.

When the eccentric monk and Tang Jiusheng and the others saw Li, they wanted to check the situation of the fat man, who had been unconscious. After checking it, the strange monk determined that the demon art in the fat man was called Soul Snatching Technique, which was an evil art that came from Great Xia and had been extinct in the Central Plains over the years. Therefore, it is normal that you can't see it in ordinary spells and poison books, and it is normal for Xin Zhiping to be helpless about it.

The strange monk took out a small green porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out a red pill from the bottle, about the size of a thumbnail, and gave it to the fat man, after the fat man ate the pill, although he did not wake up, he obviously felt that his complexion was no longer gray, and his face was ruddy.

Tang Jiusheng felt at ease at this time, and hurriedly ordered someone to set up a banquet and feast the eccentric monk.

During the banquet, the strange monk mentioned that this soul-snatching technique had also harmed some Central Plains people a hundred years ago. The Soul Snatching Technique came from a man named Yelu Ankang, who was once the sect master of the Great Xia Kingdom's Poison Master Sect.

The eccentric monk has a way to crack it, but he has to build an altar again, which is a little more troublesome. Tang Jiusheng said with a smile: "You want to build the Dharma altar and go to the back garden of my palace, where the place is big, and there is an ape brother to protect the Dharma, you can't be wrong!"

That night, the strange monk set up an altar in the back garden of the Weiwang Mansion, and did not ask many people to protect the Dharma, only the big white ape sat on the side and watched. The white ape was very psychic, and when he saw the strange monk, he saluted him, and the strange monk's mouth couldn't be closed. One person and one ape chatted like old friends in the back garden for a long time, and laughed at Tang Jiusheng and Shui Ruyue for a long time.

At night, Shui Ruyue and Tang Jiusheng lived in the same room, and the reunion of Xiao Bie was naturally a newlywed, but it was a pity that Tang Jiusheng was holding a big beauty like a flower and jade, but he couldn't do anything, he could only chat, not to mention how aggrieved he was. Although Xiahou Lingyu knew this, when she returned to her room, she still felt sour, how could she know that Shen Xiaoyu's heart next door was also mixed!

Shui Ruyue and Tang Jiusheng were chatting, and suddenly remembered that Yu Desheng, the boss of the Fushun Dart Bureau, was coming, so she asked coquettishly: "Little Senior Brother, you always say that you want to avenge me, then Yu Desheng of the Fushun Dart Bureau, I'm afraid you will forget it!"

Tang Jiusheng remembered this at this time, patted his head, and said apologetically: "Little junior sister, I'm really embarrassed, I've been busy these days, and I've forgotten Yu Desheng outside the clouds! In this way, get up tomorrow morning, I will accompany you to the Fushun Dart Bureau to handle Yu Desheng! As soon as the dart bureau is sealed, the person will also be thrown into prison, and it will be over!"

Shui Ruyue said with a smile: "I'm just talking about laughter, what is the calculation of a little Yu Desheng? Let's solve the siege of Jianzhou first! A good man doesn't suffer the loss in front of him, then Yu Desheng is a good person, I guess that guy heard that you came to Jianzhou, and he has already fled without a trace, you want to arrest him now, how can it be so easy, can he still sit in the dart game and wait for you to catch him?"

Tang Jiusheng deliberately said: "Even if he runs, this king will chase him to the ends of the earth, so that he can know that my Tang Jiusheng's wife is something that no one else can provoke!

Shui Ruyue said with a smile: "You, you are thick-skinned, comfort you a few words, you also take it seriously, hum, such a big thing can be forgotten for me, wait for your Tianxuan Jue to turn five times, see how I punish you!"

Tang Jiusheng also smiled: "Yu Desheng is in the city, I really don't feel at ease, I'm afraid that he will betray the situation of the city's defense to the enemy outside the city, so we must go to visit him tomorrow." The husband and wife laughed for a while, Tang Jiusheng hurriedly let Shui Ruyue rest, Shui Ruyue and three thousand military horses have been on the road these days, and they are tired.

Tang Jiusheng came out of the bedroom, came to find his eldest disciple Zu Qingqiu, and came to Shen Xiaoyu's room. Zu Qingqiu and Shen Xiaoyu live together, so if they want to see Zu Qingqiu, then Shen Xiaoyu has to see them. Tang Jiusheng saw Shen Xiaoyu's somewhat resentful eyes, and he didn't say anything, he just pretended not to see it, and after greeting the two of them, he asked Zu Qingqiu some questions about knife skills, and Zu Qingqiu answered fluently, so Tang Jiusheng was relieved.

After all, Zu Qingqiu is his top disciple, and it is not wrong to be strict with her. At that moment, he called Zu Qingqiu to the courtyard, watched her practice her sword skills in the courtyard, and casually pointed out a few points

Sentence, it seems that although this girl is learning alchemy with eccentric monks these days, she has not slackened her swordsmanship. Tang Jiusheng was very pleased, as long as he worked hard. In fact, no matter how talented a person is, as long as he doesn't practice, it's useless.

Talent and hard work can become a martial arts master, and this has been the case for thousands of years. Tang Jiusheng was a genius himself, so he naturally knew this. Tang Jiusheng didn't sleep, and quietly called Ning Chenggang, Cheng Zifei and Lu Fangping, and asked the three of them to lead a thousand troops and horses out of the city, and ambush them two miles to the left of the Jin Chengzhang camp of the euphorbia, so as to prevent others from robbing the camp, and the three of them took the order and left.

Sure enough, in the middle of the night, Huo Yunsheng's lieutenant Gu Zhuhai was ordered to lead two thousand soldiers and horses to rob the camp, but he didn't expect that Jin Chengzhang had already prepared, and the two sides fought a scuffle, but Ning Chenggang, Cheng Zifei and Lu Fangping led the army to attack in the back, defeating Gu Zhuhai and losing nearly half of his men and horses, Gu Zhuhai could only retreat back with people in a hurry. Jin Chengzhang won a complete victory, and Ning Chenggang and the three moved to the right side.

Huo Yunsheng saw Gu Zhuhai coming back with the remnants of the defeated army dejectedly, knowing that he had been tricked, he scolded angrily, and regardless of the pain of the arrow wound in his left arm, he personally brought two thousand men and horses to rob the camp again. Unexpectedly, he was ambushed again, relying on his spell, Jin Chengzhang recognized him and didn't dare to let people chase him, Huo Yunsheng retreated with all his divisions, and he hated Jin Chengzhang even more in his heart.

At dawn the next day, Ning Chenggang, Cheng Zifei and Lu Fangping said goodbye to Jin Chengzhang and led the army back to the city. At this time, Tang Jiusheng had already taken Shui Ruyue, Shen Xiaoyu, and Zu Qingqiu with dozens of officials to rush to the headquarters of the Fushun Dart Bureau in Jianzhou.

Yu Desheng is a shrewd person, Tang Jiusheng became the king of Wei, sooner or later he will come to Jianzhou, when he investigates the matter of cheating people and money when he was a housekeeper in the Shui family, wouldn't it be a big mistake? Therefore, Yu Desheng transferred the business to Guo Lingming, and he had already run away. Tang Jiusheng and Shui Ruyue only saw Wen Tianlong, the deputy head of the dart bureau, Wen Tianlong saw Tang Jiusheng, he was surprised and happy, and quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Tang Jiusheng smiled and helped him up, and quipped: "Tianlong, we are old people, this king can point to you to make money!" The three people who said laughed, and the three of them talked about the old for a while, Wen Tianlong insisted on inviting Tang Jiusheng to dinner, Tang Jiusheng refused with a smile, saying that there were many things, and he would invite Wen Tianlong to the county guard yamen to eat together another day, anyway, he couldn't leave Jianzhou in a short time, and he would have to ask Wen Dart to find some work to earn money.

Wen Tianlong agreed with a smile, he didn't dare to force Tang Jiusheng to eat, now that Tang Jiusheng was already a prince, how could he climb high with a small dart head in a dart game. Tang Jiusheng and Shui Ruyue failed to meet Yu Desheng, so they couldn't clean him up, and they came in a hurry and returned in defeat. However, Tang Jiusheng was still very happy to see Wen Tianlong, Wen Tianlong was also a local snake in Jianzhou, and he would still be useful in the future.

After returning to the county guard yamen, Tang Jiusheng stood in front of the map of Jianzhou, and Shui Ruyue began to analyze the situation of the enemy army. A man from the guard came in to deliver a secret letter, Tang Jiusheng opened it and was surprised. It turned out that Xiaowei got the news that the Yamen had sent another 5,000 people to reinforce Huo Yunsheng, and he was already on the way to Jianzhou, and he would be able to arrive in no more than three days, so he asked King Wei to take more precautions.

Tang Jiusheng had just sent away this man who was guarding the guard, and he received a secret letter from the guard, it turned out that the thief who had entered Jiannan Road from the Southwest Road had also passed through Luye City and came to Jianzhou. Tang Jiusheng sneered: "It's rare, these birdmen have all gotten together, it's okay, I don't have to go around looking for you, let's just under this Jianzhou City, and we can fight hard with real swords and guns! It's a mule or a horse, we have to take a walk to know!"
