Lu Xuanbo was supported by two soldiers and staggered in, his hair was scattered, and there were several cuts in the leather armor he was wearing, his face was pale and bloodless, his lips were dry, and his eyes lost their lustre, but he was still very firm.

Zhao Junsheng hurriedly greeted him: "Old Lu, why did you get like this?" Li Bao, hurry up and get some food, and call the medical officer to treat Lao Lu's injuries! ”

"Good!" Li Bao promised to turn around and run.

Zhao Junsheng helped Lu Xuanbo to the table and sat down, Lu Xuanbo saw that there was still uneaten wine and meat on the table, he immediately grabbed the wine jug and poured it into his mouth, it seemed that he was really thirsty, until he drank most of the pot of wine, he took a breath, and regardless of the cold burning of the leftovers on the table, he grabbed it and stuffed it into his mouth.

Zhao Junsheng and Gao Xu were extremely shocked when they saw it, this was the first time they had seen Lu Xuanbo so embarrassed, Zhao Junsheng remembered that Lu Xuanbo had never been so embarrassed when he was chased and killed by assassins sent by Liu Yilong, the emperor of the Southern Dynasty.

Li Bao quickly brought food, wine and food and put them on the table, and Lu Xuanbo was not polite, and stuffed it into his mouth as if no one was around.

The medical officer rushed over, and the two soldiers took off his tattered leather armor that was covered with dried blood stains, and the medical officer cleaned his wounds, and said to Zhao Junsheng while doing the operation: "Fortunately, these wounds stopped bleeding in time, otherwise he would have died a long time ago!" ”

When Lu Xuanbo had eaten and drunk enough, the medical officer had already dealt with his wounds, and when he left, he also explained: "My subordinates have left some ointments, and they must be changed once a day, and they must not be wet with water before the wound scars heal, otherwise it will be troublesome if it suppurates!" ”

After the medical officer left, Lu Xuanbo put on his clothes and hugged his fists at Zhao Junsheng and said: "Young master, the young lady is in big trouble, the young master must lead the troops to set off overnight to rescue, I am afraid that something big will happen later!" ”

Zhao Junsheng hurriedly said: "You say slowly, don't worry, what happened?" ”

Lu Xuanbo immediately told Hua Mulan and the 3,000 men of the Right Wing Army what had happened in Pinggang City in the past few days.

Although Zhao Junsheng was very anxious after hearing this, he still asked: "Where did the more than 4,000 soldiers and horses that he suddenly brought come from?" As far as we know, there are only more than 1,000 defenders in each county of Jiyang County, how can there be so many more soldiers and horses? ”

Lu Xuanbo said: "The news we got was from Bai Tan, the news is outdated, there are 5,000 soldiers and horses in Yangwu, and the general of the army is called Yao Zhao, it is Yao Zhao who suddenly appears with the troops, and the young lady's army will be defeated and have to retreat to Luming Mountain!" ”

Zhao Junsheng frowned and said: "Yao Zhao left Yangwu to fight Mulan's right wing army, I'm afraid he had planned it a long time ago, but he left with so many soldiers and horses, isn't he afraid that Heduoluo will break through Yangwu and end his nest?" ”

Lu Xuanbo shook his head, he didn't know the situation on Yang Wu and Hedoluo's side.

Gao Xu clenched his fists beside him and said, "General, the last general thinks that since Yao Zhao dares to do this, he must have no fear!" Either he has a way to stop Hedoro's attack, or ······ He Duoluo deliberately slowed down the pace of the march to make time for Yao Zhao to deal with General Hua, after all, He Duoluo will repay him, he can do this kind of thing! ”

Zhao Junsheng told himself in his heart that if it was the first case, it would be fine, and if it was the second case, he secretly swore that he would never let go of Hedoro.

After thinking for a while, Zhao Junsheng instructed Li Bao: "Go and call Chang Kun!" ”

Soon Chang Kun was called over by Li Bao, and he saluted Zhao Junsheng: "Chang Kun, thanks to you these days, otherwise we would not have rushed to Fancheng so quickly and without hindrance, and it was also because of your arrangement that Fan Guiting led the army to surrender, and we got Fancheng without a single soldier, you have the greatest credit, and you will be promoted to be a tooth general!" ”

Chang Kun clenched his fists and said: "This is a matter of subordination, thank you for the general's help!" ”

Zhao Junsheng nodded and asked, "I want to send someone to Yangwu to inquire about the news, this person must be familiar with the local situation, and be able to adapt to various emergencies, is there such a person among the people you know?" ”

Chang Kun thought for a while and said: "There is such a person, his name is He Yong, he was previously the head of the Duzhi in the Lulongsai garrison, who was specifically responsible for military procurement, and he is familiar with Pingzhou and Bingzhou, has a wide range of contacts, and is sleek, but I don't know if the general dares to use it?" ”

"Where is he now?"

"It's in the army, and it's been incorporated into one building with those surrendered troops!"

Zhao Junsheng immediately said: "Li Bao, go and bring He Yong over!" ”

When Li Bao brought He Yong over, Zhao Junsheng personally inspected this person and found that this person had no loyalty to Yan Guo, so Zhao Junsheng promoted him to quartermaster adjutant and sent a few people to protect him and go to Yangwu to find out the news, He Yong actually didn't want to serve Zhao Junsheng, but he learned that Chang Kun recommended him to Zhao Junsheng, so he agreed, he couldn't trust others, but he trusted Chang Kun.

After He Yong was protected by several personal soldiers sent by Zhao Junsheng and set off to Yangwu overnight, Zhao Junsheng ordered Li Bao: "Order the whole army, make a fire to cook tomorrow, and return to Pinggang at the end of the day!" ”

"Yes!" Li Bao agreed.

Lu Xuanbo was a little anxious: "General, the young lady can't be dragged on there, the danger of dragging it out for a day will greatly increase, and it will increase a lot of variables!" ”

Zhao Junsheng sighed: "You think I don't know? Do you think I'm willing to put off all night? At this point, I can't wait to leave and fly over! But the army needs to prepare dry food, water and some other military supplies, so you can't go on the road without anything, right? It takes time to prepare all these things, you know? ”

Lu Xuanbo stopped talking, and Zhao Junsheng said to him: "Your body has not recovered yet, I will ask someone to prepare a side room for you, you rest early, and I will send someone to call you tomorrow."

"It's good!" Lu Xuanbo obeyed Zhao Junsheng's arrangement.

Wei Chi Yandong was then called over by Zhao Junsheng and said to him: "Wei Chi, you just received a military order, right?" ”

"Yes, General!"

Zhao Junsheng said: "There is some trouble on the side of General Hua of the Right Chamber, she and her soldiers and horses were besieged in Luming Mountain by the calculation of the Yan army, I had to lead the troops to relieve the siege, but Fancheng can't be left behind, so I want you to bring a building to stay and guard Fancheng, are you sure to use only one building to maintain the stability of Fancheng?" ”

Wei Chi Yandong said: "This city is mixed with Hu and Han, as well as Kumoxi and Khitans, the composition of the inhabitants is too complicated, and the number of troops in each building is too small, and the last general asks the general to allow me to requisition the family guards of the rich merchants and big clans in the city!" ”

Zhao Junsheng thought about it for a while and agreed: "Yes, but we must pay attention to the way we do things, at this stage, everything is based on stability, try not to conflict with the local clans, our rule needs their cooperation!" ”

"Don't worry, the general understands!"

Sending away Lieutenant Chi Yandong, Zhao Junsheng said to Gao Xu: "My Youzhou army still has the task of sweeping the area north of Pingfan City, and now it seems that this task can only be solved by letting you take our 4,000 men and horses." Remember, you have to act in the name of the Youzhou Army, so as not to cause trouble! ”

"In addition, after sweeping away the Yan army forces in the northern region, try not to conflict with Kumo Xi further north, now let's not make enemies everywhere!"

Gao Xu clenched his fists and agreed: "The last general understands!" ”

Although the army will have to wait until tomorrow to set off together, Zhao Junsheng must know the news from Pinggang City and Hua Mulan in advance, Lu Xuanbo has been a day since he set off and rushed here, who knows what happened in this day, a scout was sent to Pinggang City by Zhao Junsheng overnight.

At dawn the next day, Zhao Junsheng set off back to Pinggang City with the well-fed, well-fed and prepared Youzhou Army, accompanied by Fan Guiting, a partial general who had just surrendered, and his 800 generals.

Starting from the morning, the Youzhou army did not stop marching, and hurried at the fastest marching speed, only resting twice on the way, each time only a quarter of an hour, until late at night, after traveling nearly two hundred miles, and finally arrived at the outskirts of Pinggang City.

The scout who was sent here to investigate first contacted the army, and a scout reported to Zhao Junsheng the news of Pinggang City, "General, we have found out that there is no army stationed in Pinggang City so far, only the officials sent by the Taishou Mansion and the county government and more than 100 people organized by the major families in the city, and 200 young men selected from the people are guarding the city gate and maintaining order in the city."

"General Hua and the Right Wing Army are still besieged in Luming Mountain, but they are short of water and food, and hundreds of horses have starved to death, and the generals of the Right Wing Army have killed more than 1,000 people in these two days, leaving only more than 1,000 people, but they are tired······"

After listening to the scout's report, Zhao Junsheng learned that Mulan was still safe and sound, and he felt a little relieved and asked, "Is there anyone from Yangwu who has come to contact you?" ”

The scout replied, "Yes, the other party said that a man named He Yong sent him, and he is waiting not far away to report to the general!" ”

"Go and call him!"

The people sent by He Yong quickly came over to salute Zhao Junsheng, he himself was Zhao Junsheng's personal soldier, "General, the situation on the Yangwu side has been clarified, Yangwu City now only has two hundred defenders, and Yangwu City has sent eight hundred people to block Hedoro's men and horses at the stone gate!" ”

Zhao Junsheng sensed that something was wrong and asked, "When did this happen?" ”

"Two days ago!"

Everything is clear, Yao Zhao has to deal with Mulan and her right wing army, and He Duoluo is the culprit who fuels the trouble!

Zhao Junsheng shook his head after hearing this: "Obviously, Hedoluo's army is deliberately delaying time when it is marching, it only takes four days to arrive from Baitan to Yangwu City, Hedoluo took five days to walk to Shimengou, our army spies have probed, although Shimengou is dangerous, but if Hedoro wants to attack with all his might, it only takes one day to capture, and now it is almost three days to fight, he wants to borrow the hand of the Yan army to get rid of General Hua and them!" ”

Bai Jinguang asked, "General, what should I do now?" Did the army camp on the spot, or rushed to Luming Mountain overnight to attack the Yan army Yao Zhao? ”

Zhao Junsheng thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "No!" Li Bao, take the pro-soldier team and prepare the climbing tools to attack Pinggang City overnight, I will give you an hour, and after an hour, the general will lead the troops into the city! ”
