In the next few days, although Wen Zhong led his troops to Beihai City several times to challenge, the Beihai side has always hung up the anti-battle card. Although Wen Zhong tried to attack the city several times, he would be stopped at every critical moment, and for a while, Wen Zhong had magical powers, leading an army of 200,000, but he was helpless to take this Beihai. And at this time, the news of the rebellion of Hou Suhu in Jizhou also reached Beihai.

After getting the news that Hou Su of Jizhou raised troops against Shang, Beihai Hou Yuan Futong was naturally overjoyed - although in the past few days, because of the help of the pharmacist and Maitreya, Beihai has been defended without danger every time under Wen Zhong's attack, but it is impossible to say that in the face of Wen Zhong, Yuan Futong has no pressure. Now that Su Hu has raised troops against business, he can help him share some of the pressure in that aspect, how can he not like it?

And some people like it, and some people are naturally worried. After getting the news that Su Hu raised troops against Shang, Wen Zhong was naturally worried - the geographical location of Jizhou was too critical, and it was just on his retreat, if Su Hu sent a strange army to cut off the connection between him and Chaoge, then his 200,000 army would probably be trapped in Beihai. Therefore, after hesitating again and again, Wen Zhong directly gave up the attack on Beihai and retreated to the Guzhu Kingdom in the southeast of Beihai.

The two princes of the Guzhu Kingdom, Bo Yi and Shu Qi, are now in important positions in the Song Dynasty - these two princes of the Guzhu Kingdom are the protagonists of the story of the brothers who will be sung through the ages, knocking on horses, not eating Zhou Li, hiding in Shouyang, picking roses and eating, and starving to death in Shouyang. And it was precisely because of the loyalty of the Guzhu Kingdom to the Great Merchants that Wen Zhong dared to retreat to Guzhu, preparing to wait for Chaoge to quell the rebellion in Jizhou and open up the connection between Chaoge and Beihai before conquest of Beihai. And Beihai didn't want to take Wen Zhong from the beginning, they just wanted to drag it from the beginning, so they were naturally happy to see Wen Zhong retreat to the Lonely Bamboo Country.

Not to mention that Wen Zhong retreated to Guzhu because of the news of the rebellion of Hou Suhu in Jizhou, but said that on the Jizhou side, not long after Wen Zhong retreated to Guzhu, the 50,000 Chaoge army commanded by Lu Xiong had also arrived in Jizhou. It's just that when he arrived at the city of Jizhou, Lu Xiong was surprised to find that there was already an army stationed under the city of Jizhou, looking at the banner, it should be the army of Beibohou Chonghou Hu.

Seeing this, Lu Xiong couldn't help but wonder why the army of Beibohou Chonghou Hu appeared here.

Because the real person in charge of this trip of 50,000 troops is Ye Xuan, although Ye Xuan didn't care about anything along the way, but when he encountered such a critical matter, Lu Xiong still decided to report to Ye Xuan first. Therefore, after ordering the army to camp first, Lu Xiong came directly to Ye Xuan's camp. Seeing Lu Xiong coming, the sergeant guarding outside the camp tent hurriedly announced: "Military division, General Lu Xiong asks to see." Because Zishou really didn't know what position to arrange for Ye Xuan, in the end, Ye Xuan took the idea and directly got a military advisor out.

Hearing the sergeant's announcement, Ye Xuan motioned for Lu Xiong to come in.

Looking at Lu Xiong, who walked into the big tent in a hurry, Ye Xuan smiled slightly: "What makes the general so anxious?"

Bowing to Ye Xuan with a fist, Lu Xiong said: "Military advisor, the spies in front have found the army of Beibohou Chonghou Hu under the city of Jizhou. The last general didn't know the intention of the Northern Bohou and didn't dare to make an assertion, so he came to consult the military advisor. ”

Hearing Lu Xiong say this, Ye Xuan shook his head: "What's so hard to guess about this? Chonghou Hu is a person, and many people know his character. Not to mention his cruelty and greed, he is also cowardly as a mouse. This time he sent troops to Jizhou, most likely because he heard that Su Hu had rebelled, and Su Hu belonged to him, a subordinate of the Northern Bohou, so he was afraid that he would also be blamed for Su Hu's affairs, so he was eager to recruit Su Hu to show himself so as to avoid punishment. If you don't believe me, I'll accompany you to the Chinese military tent and wait, you watch, it is estimated that he will send someone to explain the situation soon. ”

Hearing Ye Xuan's name call Zishou, Lu Xiong could only pretend not to hear it, and it happened that Ye Xuan said that he was going to the Zhongjun tent and waiting for Chonghou Hu to send someone, so Lu Xiong hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Military advisor, please." ”

Seeing this, Ye Xuan smiled slightly, and he didn't break it. took the lead in walking out of the big tent and towards the Zhongjun tent, followed by Lu Xiong.

When he arrived at the big tent of the Chinese army, Lu Xiong said: "Military advisor, please take a seat." ”

Ye Xuan was not polite, he walked directly to the main seat and sat down, after seeing Ye Xuan sit down, Lu Xiong hurriedly asked people to make tea, and then sat down with him, waiting for the arrival of the envoy of Chonghou Hu that Ye Xuan said.

In fact, it didn't take long to wait, after the tea was brewed, before a cup of tea was drunk, a sergeant came to pass the ceremony, saying that someone outside the camp claimed to be the envoy of the Northern Bohou Chonghou Hu who came to ask for a meeting.

Hearing this, Lu Xiong was stunned for a moment, and then hugged his fist at Ye Xuan with admiration on his face and said: "The military advisor is clever, and the general will admire it." ”

Ye Xuan just smiled incomprehensibly—he wouldn't say that there was such a thing as Chonghou Tiger and Su Hu in history.

"Let the messenger in. ”

The soldier took the order, and not long after, he led a sturdy young man in.

The young man entered the Zhongjun tent, glanced at Ye Xuan, who was sitting on the main seat, and said with his fists clenched: "Chongying Biao, the son of the Northern Bohou, has seen General Lu. ”

Hearing this, Ye Xuan's face was embarrassed, and Lu Xiong, who was sitting on Ye Xuan's left hand, also looked embarrassed, and hurriedly came forward to explain: "The little marquis is mistaken, this is Ye Junshi, on the order of the king, the commander-in-chief of this expedition against the traitor Su Hu." This general is Lu Xiong, Tian is the coach of this time. ”

Hearing Lu Xiong say this, Chongying Biao also looked embarrassed, but in this way, he also understood that Ye Xuan, the military advisor, was the person in charge of this army.

Apologetically hugged his fist at Lu Xiong and Ye Xuan, Chongying Biao said: "General Lu and Ye Junshi forgive me, because Ying Biao looked at the banner of General Lu in the camp, and Ye Junshi sat on the main seat, so I misunderstood the identity of the two, and I hope the two will forgive me." ”

Shaking his head slightly, Ye Xuan said lightly: "It's okay, the little marquis doesn't have to worry about it." I don't know what is the important matter for the little marquis to come to our army?"

Hearing Ye Xuan's question, Chongying Biao thought of the purpose of coming this time, and hurriedly said: "Back to Ye Junshi, it is the so-called matter of eating the king and being loyal to the king." At present, this traitor Su Hu is deeply favored by the emperor, but he does not know that he is loyal to the monarch and patriotic, but he does that rebellious thing, and his father, as a northern marquis, naturally hates these traitors, so after getting the news, he personally commanded the army to quell the rebellion of Su Hu. But as soon as our army arrived in Jizhou, before we could fight with the traitor Su Hu, we saw that the heavenly soldiers had arrived, so my father asked me to ask Ye Junshi and General Lu not to send troops. Let my father go to crusade against Su Hu, a traitor, and contribute to my big business. ”
