Chen Baisong no longer knows how many heads he has cut off. He has fought so many battles, but not once, like now, his body and face are all the blood of the enemy—and his own.

He led a leading team when Zhao Pusheng led his army to retreat like a sharp knife.

My ears are full of the howls of soldiers, both enemies and own.

And the army led by Zhu Yuanzhang also rushed over at this time.

Zhao Pusheng is obviously in a mess. Half of their people have entered the city. Now that the city gate has not been closed, Zhao Pusheng’s soldiers are still rushing in. They don’t know how many people are behind, they can only hear the same. Crying.

"Close the city gate." Zhao Pusheng clenched his teeth, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and now he was standing on the city wall, and he knew what choice he was facing. Once the city gate was closed, the enemy could not rush. Come in, but the soldiers who are close to 50,000 are no longer the combat power he can use.

Without closing the city gate, he has no confidence in defeating them in Hanyang City, not to mention that once the enemy enters Hanyang City, Hanyang City is not an empty city. It has people and their court.

The staff said to him: "General, you can't close the city gate! Once the city gate is closed, we will lose nearly 50,000 people. Without these 50,000 people, we will hold on for a while, what should we do?"

Zhao Pusheng asked him: "Then what else do you say? Go out of the city to fight now? They are blocking the gate of the city, and the 50,000 people are blocking the gate. We are rushing out now, and the sheep will enter the tiger's mouth."

The staff shut up.

Closing the city gate can at least protect Hanyang City now, and then we will deploy troops from other places.

The staff closed their eyes, a little hopeless.

Originally, nearly half of Hanyang's soldiers were taken away because of Ni Wenjun's rebellion, and now another 50,000 people have been lost.

How to fight next?He didn't have a clue.

Chen Baisong looked at the slowly closing city gate and took the reins.

They only have cavalry who can rush in at this time, but the gate of Hanyang City is opened and closed on the wall. Even if they rush in, they cannot prevent the gate from closing. Once the gate is closed, if they are in the city, Can't escape death.

So the only way now is to watch the city gate close in front of them.

Zhao Pusheng was really willing to miss it.

Chen Baisong was standing on the hillside, and Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting on a rock not far from him. Both of them described embarrassed, sweat and blood all over, flies around them, and the smell was not very good. In contrast, Robben's The situation is much better. He doesn't need to rush forward with Chen Baisong and the others, so he is dry at the moment, and the hat he wears is not even crooked.

"Don't worry, Zhao Pusheng will be attacked by a group if he goes back. He lost 50,000 people without a fight. Now Hanyang can lead few soldiers, they have to take care of Ni Wenjun." Luo Ben was there, "Ding Pulang and Fu Youde are not as good as Zhao Pusheng."

Lin Yuanzheng and Li Congrong in the back were lying on the grass with Li Congrong, and they were also talking about Hanyang.

"I thought Ni Wenjun would rebel and Hanyang would be chaotic. I didn't expect that they would be loyal to Xu Shouhui." Li Congrong didn't understand that Xu Shouhui had no real power in his hands. What was the point of following Xu Shouhui?Why not start anew?

Lin Yuan asked: "You think they don't follow Xu Shouhui and surrender to Ni Wenjun. How will Ni Wenjun treat them? Will there be high officials and generous? Ni Wenjun can be regarded as kind by not killing them."

Li Congrong did not understand.

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "It's like if someone in my hand turns against me at this time, will you follow him or follow me?"

Li Congrong didn't even think about it: "I will kill him."

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "That's because the two of us met at the end of the Wei Mo, the friendship is naturally different, Xu Shouhui's hands, naturally there are people like this, but these people have no real power, and those with real power can't go to Ni Wenjun, this is what Why is Ni Wenjun now in a dilemma."

No one in Hanyang City would meet with Ni Wenjun.

No army elsewhere is willing to support Ni Wenjun.

If they did not come, Ni Wenjun should have been defeated by now.

In Lin Yuan’s memory, Ni Wenjun’s uprising and downfall were very miserable. After his failure, he went to Chen Youliang for support, but Chen Youliang killed him, incorporated his army, and then replaced Ni Wenjun and became Xu Shouhui’s side. The important minister also replaced Ni Wenjun in holding power.

From then on, Chen Youliang stood on the stage of troubled times, he will become stronger and stronger, and eventually become a behemoth.

Lin Yuan wanted to cut off Chen Youliang's path from the root. He could not wait for Ni Wenjun's army and would never see Ni Wenjun again.

In Gaoyou City, Jiang Gui is dining with his family. Since he became the Zhizhou of Taizhou, his quality of life has been rising, and the power in his hands has also increased, but none of this has made him take it lightly. Jiang Gui knows his skills well. , If it weren't for Lin Yuan who didn't have the right person at the time, he wouldn't be the Zhizhou.

He will never forget what Lin Yuan said to him.

Without him, Lin Yuan still had countless people available in his hands.

He is not unique and irreplaceable.

But he has a friendship with Lin Yuan, so Lin Yuan gave him the opportunity, as long as he can do what he deserves, even if he is greedy, as long as there is not much greed and greed does not affect him to do practical things, Lin Yuan will not move him. .

Jiang Gui's wife looked at her husband's expression and asked with concern: "But what happened? Why is her expression so bad?"

Jiang Gui smiled, with a reluctant smile: "I haven't slept well these days."

During this period of time, he has been having nightmares. At first he dreamed that he had died in Wucheng. When the migrants broke in, they had nowhere to escape. They could only hide at home, hoping for the migrants to leave, but this was obviously Hopefully, they were discovered. The refugees killed his parents in front of him and insulted his wife.

And he was cut off by them in the end.

Later, the dream slowly changed. He dreamed of Gaoyou in the flames, and he heard someone talking about an enemy attack.

With a raging fire surrounding him in his dream, he sent people to Yang Zian for help, and personally took Gaoyou's soldiers to the city gate.

He hadn't dreamed of the end yet, and he didn't know what happened in the end.

But this dream gave him a warning. Jiang Gui believed in the gods. He believed that the dream was a message from the gods to people.

But he is still hesitating, does he need to write to Yang Zian in advance so that Yang Zian can bring people to Gaoyou?

Gaoyou has salt, and the robbers and bandits around are staring at Gaoyou, and the court seems to have not given up on Gaoyou.

Jiang Gui is ready to believe in himself once.

After he had eaten, he went to the study and wrote a letter to Yang Zian who was in Changzhou at this time.

In the Changzhou barracks, Yang Zian is reading the book of war. Since he became a general, the book of war is no longer a luxury for him. As long as he shows what he wants, someone will take what he wants. Sent to him.

But he has no interest in anything other than military books.

He did not marry a wife, nor a concubine, and stayed with the soldiers in the barracks all day long.

The soldiers convinced him that he was able to fight and also said that the soldiers said "Useless as scholars" and seemed to hate scholars to the extreme, but they could not say such things in front of Yang Zian.

The soldiers were preparing Yang Zian's bedding, and he whispered, "I don't know what the Nan Bodhisattva is doing now."

The soldier sighed: "Where is the reason for the Nan Bodhisattva to conquer himself? If the Nan Bodhisattva has anything good or bad, they should all apologize with death."

Yang Zi'an was taken aback and said with a smile: "Be at ease, they all died in the battle, and the South Bodhisattva is fine."

Yang Zian lowered his eyes. I don’t know when he stopped calling Lin Yuan the fourth younger brother. Unlike Li Congrong, he sometimes confuses the names. He clearly knows his position. He doesn’t want to one day. It will also be in a different place.

But sometimes, Yang Zian can't help thinking.

How does Lin Yuan feel?When he found that no one around him dared to tell the truth, no one dared to look into his eyes, and everyone was looking forward to benefit from him, how would he feel?

Yang Zian smiled.

He and Lin Yuan have gone farther and farther, and the emperor and his ministers have always gone from one to the other.

And Lin Yuan was not a weak person. When he was alive, he would never allow anyone to climb on his head.

Yang Zian knew what he wanted to do.

He will never make friends with civil servants all his life, nor will he touch things that he shouldn't touch.

He will follow Lin Yuan closely, what Lin Yuan has to do is what he has to do.

In this way, he can stay in this position for a long time, and when everything is about to settle, he will get married, and learn from Li Congrong to marry a daughter of a small family and continue his blood.

Just when Yang Zian was about to fall asleep, the messenger arrived.

He was sitting on the edge of the bed in his shirt, and he laughed dumbfounded after reading the letter handed over by his soldiers.

"What are these?" Yang Zian looked at it again and found that Jiang Gui was really not joking, he was asking for help seriously.

Just because of a dream?

Yang Zian laughed. He looked at Jiang Gui's writing. He thought the enemy would attack Gaoyou.

"Forget it, he is timid." Yang Zian said with a smile, "If you ask someone to bring 10,000 people over, you should give him a reassurance, but he will be responsible for everything."

However, the raid in Jiang Guimeng should be serious. After all, Taizhou itself had 30,000 garrisons. Originally there were 100,000 troops, but most of them were taken away by Lin Yuan. Now the most powerful force is Changzhou, which is guarded by Yang Zian.

Therefore, Yang Zian's pressure on his shoulders is also great, and his capable people have been assigned to different counties and cities.

Once a problem arises, he will lead troops to support him. What Yang Zi'an didn't expect was that Jiang Gui would come and find work for him.

The reason for looking for something was just because of a dream.

Yang Zianchong said: "Let Zhang Jiuliu come to see me tomorrow morning."

The soldier was startled: "His brother is now the captain of the ten thousand captain, but the general still wants to use him? What luck is it with their Zhang brother?"

I really envy him!
