Liu Qi glanced at the silk book in wonder, and saw that the head of Han Li, which was full of pages, suddenly became bigger, and he didn't dare to take it, so he had to pretend to get up and salute back and asked, "Sir, where did you start with this?" ”

Liu Hong smiled and explained: "Zhao Taishou asked for merit for the thief leader Xu Xi Fufa, but Liu Jiyu listened to the villain's slander and deliberately erased it, and only sealed the title of Marquis of Zhao Taishou Guannei and the vacant title of the miscellaneous general of the lord Gong Dang Kou, but the lord is not in Yizhou, and it is this name that is missing!" ”

Liu Qi nodded again and again, he was already extremely satisfied with the position of general, general! What a prestige!

"Zhao Taishou has ordered the elite starry night to come to help, and the letter tells him that the whole army is acting according to the orders of the lord, and the lord leads the army to sweep away the rebellion of the thieves in one fell swoop, and it will definitely be famous in the sea, and the corporal of the world is still not eager to do it?"

Senior brother is really interesting enough, Liu Qi can't help but be grateful to Zhao Zhen for his strong support.

Hey, it would be nice if my sister was here!

As if he saw Zhao Ci's shy eyes looking at him, he shouted "General!" full of admiration. Liu Qi's heart was as sweet as pouring a whole jar of honey.

Uh, where do you want to go, no, no, that's a nephew, a nephew! Liu Qi held his chin in his hand, his eyes fluttered, and his heart had already flown back to Jiangzhou City, until Liu Hong called several times before he came back to his senses, and his old face turned red and hurriedly stopped his evil thoughts.

Coughing a few times, Liu Qi hurriedly changed the topic, and asked carefully about the details of the enemy and us, and the information he got from Liu Hong's mouth was much more detailed than what the low-ranking officers of the navy said, but there was not much good news, and Liu Qi couldn't help but worry.

In a word, the defenders can barely hold on to the rebellion and not be breached, and if they want to defeat the rebels and recapture Yufu, they can only hope that reinforcements will arrive as soon as possible, and only God knows when the rebellion will be completely quelled.

Senior brother Zhao Zhen, where is the situation Liu Qi knows best, but now the main force of the county Zhongguan Army is in the south of Yongning to collect the old and weak women and children abandoned by the Xu Xi Department of the Yellow Turban Army, that is tens of thousands of people, even if you let 10,000 sheep drive back to Jiangzhou, it is not possible to do it in ten days and a half months, let alone people?

It is already October now, and the temperature in this era is much colder than in the 21 st century, and tens of thousands of people have to eat and wear, and they are scattered and resettled in various counties along the way.

Therefore, it is unlikely that the number of reinforcements will exceed 3,000, and with the defenders in the city who can pass the combat strength, the total number is only 15,000 at most, and the number is still at an absolute disadvantage.

The key is that the low-quality rebels are not afraid of head-on confrontation, and three for one can be regarded as the rebels taking advantage, and due to the limitations of the mountainous terrain, the cavalry and the navy cannot play much of a role, and the archers who used to be robbers and yellow turbans are now difficult to show their faces except when defending the city, and it is difficult for the superiority of the officers and soldiers to have much impact on the situation.

If you can't think of a good way, then in the end, you have to rely on other reinforcements to get back the disadvantage of numbers after arriving at Qu Ren, and fight back little by little step by step, in that case, first of all, Liu Qi's dream of becoming famous in a war will not be done, and Liu Zhang will not give Liu Qi, who was born in the Li family, this opportunity.

What's more important is that after the rebellion is quelled, the leadership of Guling will be reshuffled, and then it will definitely be a situation where all forces divide Guling, but the rulers will definitely be inclined to Liu Zhang, so the materials and soldiers secretly provided by Zhao Zhen will not be able to go east through Guling, otherwise Liu Zhang will naturally think that Zhao Zhen is against him, and Yongning will have no peace.

If the key to the east gate of Yizhou is controlled by hostile people, it is tantamount to jamming Liu Qi's neck!

But the difference in strength is in front of them, the generals in the city are more than willing but not enough, and the art of war is not Liu Hong's forte, and he has always been passive defense, fighting with the rebels.

Although Liu Qi is familiar with countless classic battles in ancient and modern China and foreign countries, after all, there is a big difference between imagination and reality, and now when he first arrived, Liu Qi only saw a real battle between the two armies in Jiangzhou City, or hid in a safe place at night and watched from afar, so it can be imagined how limited his understanding of the war of this era is.

If you pretend to be smart, you will expose your ignorance and make others look down on you, and you thought that you would not be afraid of thieves attacking with your back to Jiancheng, so Zhao Zhen saw a joke.

So Liu Qi just kept thinking about it in his head, but he didn't say half a word in his mouth, he didn't understand, but there were professionals around him!

"Mr. Ji Xiu, please come with me, I will introduce Mr. to a good general who is not born in the world, and this person is about to collapse in the rebel army in a few days!" Liu Qi pulled Liu Hong and walked to Gao Hong's military camp, and he had twelve points of confidence in Gan Ning.

What disappointed Liu Qi was that Liu Hong didn't seem to be enthusiastic about Gan Ning after the meeting, although the words were not leaky, Liu Qi obviously felt that Liu Hong's attitude was lukewarm.

There was a commotion in the direction of the city gate in the distance, and the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded on the street, Liu Hong left under the pretext of being busy with official business, and met Wei Bin when he left, it seems that the two have met, although they have only talked a few words, but they have a feeling of closeness that is completely different from Fang Cai.

Liu Qi is very troubled, the class concept of the scholars in this era is deep-rooted, obviously if it weren't for Gan Ning to save Liu Qi's life, his disgraceful history of being a water thief definitely made Liu Hong disdain to associate with him.

This is not a good phenomenon, it is not terrible to have a strong enemy outside, but a strong fortress is the easiest to attack from the inside!

Gan Ning could see that Liu Qi respected Liu Hong very much, so it was rare to lower his posture and deliberately make friends, but unfortunately the other party only dealt with him on the surface, but in his heart he looked like he was rejecting people.

After sending Liu Hong away, Gan Ning felt depressed in his chest, and he didn't even know how to face Liu Qi, so he returned to the tent alone to ponder.

How long can Liu Qi's attention to himself be maintained? If you don't get the approval of other people around Liu Qi, you will be confined to infighting all day long, when will you be able to show your ambitions?

Gan Ning was so anxious at the moment that he couldn't immediately order his troops and horses to go out of the city, wipe out the rebels in one fell swoop, and then go straight to that vast and vibrant land to show his talents!

It's a pity that the defenders in the city can't command a single soldier by themselves, and all they have is Guan Zhao and a dozen people under him.

Sizzle, suddenly Gan Ning took a deep breath, as if he had grasped some inspiration, and his eyes suddenly revealed a hint of fierceness!

Who said a dozen people can't do anything!

"Brother Xingba!" The curtain was suddenly lifted, and Liu Qi came in embarrassed, and was startled when he saw Gan Ning's unkind face.

Liu Qi hesitated for a long time and didn't express his intentions, in fact, he didn't know what to say, Liu Hong's words and demeanor did not have any rudeness, what did others think in their hearts, who could control it?

In the end, Liu Qi also felt very bored, so he had to pat Gan Ning's shoulder and smiled: "Ha, Brother Xingba, I am already General Dangkou now, I can also write a concert to ask for a reward for you!" ”

"Oh? That's a great way to congratulate! Gan Ning understood that Liu Qi was here to comfort himself, his heart warmed, and he was even more surprised to learn that Liu Qi was actually named a general, so he hurriedly got up and bowed his hand and said, "Gan Ning greets the general!" ”

Liu Qi hurriedly grabbed Gan Ning and pressed him back to the seat and said with a smile: "I don't want to be separated from Brother Xingba for this false name, I must not do this in the future!" ”

Afraid of continuing to entangle in etiquette, Liu Qi quickly changed the topic: "Well, the situation in the city is not as optimistic as it seems, I have an idea to ask Brother Xingba, let's see if it is feasible?" ”

Gan Ning was informal, although he was grateful in his heart, he didn't have half a sentence of nonsense in his mouth: "I want to hear it in detail." ”

In the big tent of the Chinese army in the center of the county town, Zheng Xiong, who has always said that he can't get sick, walks around steadily, cursing loudly from time to time, and his voice is like a flood of bells, where is there a trace of sickness?

The generals of the city stood in two rows at the foot of the stairs, all with solemn faces, and from time to time they glanced at their comrades beside them, and their eyes could not hide their horror.

The situation of the battle was shocked, the rebels attacked the ferry regardless of casualties, this time it was completely different, under the attack of the naval army and the defenders who attacked in the city, the rebels did not break up and flee as before, the casualties were slightly larger, the battle was extremely tenacious, and the defenders who finally attacked had to retreat into the city because the number was too small and more than half of the casualties, and the sailors who were unable to support themselves had to abandon the ferry and retreat westward.

No wonder General Zheng is in a hurry, Qu Ren has now become a lonely city, who can still sit firmly in Diaoyutai if the retreat is cut off?

Zheng Xiong sat down angrily, raised his hand and pointed to Gao Hong, who was kneeling at the bottom of the steps, and did not scold for a long time, because the defeat in this battle is really no wonder Gao Hong, before the rebels repeatedly attacked the ferry, the defenders took advantage of the geographical advantage to attack back and forth, the rebels were loose and weak-willed, and the casualties were one or two achievements The army's heart was shaken and the rout was triggered.

And this time the rebels are extremely tenacious, nearly half of the casualties are still not retreating, Zheng Xiong roughly guessed the reason in his heart, it is very likely that Wuwei Zhonglang, who was captured with Yufu and Zhao Wei, surrendered Liang Feng to the rebels!

At that time, Liu Yan was able to quickly gain a foothold in Yizhou, undoubtedly relying on exchanging political interests with the big clans in various counties of Yizhou to gain their support, but if he did not have the backing of thousands of elite Dongzhou soldiers, even a small landlord would not buy his account.

The Dongzhou soldiers have good combat power, there is no shortage of good generals who can recruit good soldiers, this Liang Feng is one of the best, Liu Zhang sent 3,000 Dongzhou soldiers to Guling, of course, mainly to push the arrogant Zhao Wei away from the political center and find an excuse, but Liu Zhang was not confused to take military affairs as a child's play, if it were not for Liang Feng's ability to suddenly grasp the overall situation, Liu Zhang would not have handed over the door of Yizhou to him with confidence.

Zheng Xiong really couldn't think of anyone in Guling County, except for Liang Feng, who was known for his strict military training, who had the ability to make a plate of scattered rebels look new in such a short period of time.

If it is really Liang Feng, it is not surprising that Gao Hong lost, and the number of rebels is several times that of Gao Hong, and the current change of generals by the enemy is a taboo for soldiers, Zheng Xiong is not old enough to do such a thing as a relative and a hater.

"The rebels are numerous, it is not your sin, get up. Quickly replenish the soldiers and horses, and in the coming day, you should be brave enough to kill the enemy before the snow is shameful. Zheng Xiong waved his hand helplessly, Gao Hong agreed, got up silently with a face full of shame, and retreated.

Zheng Xiong looked at the generals under the steps with anticipation, but unfortunately everyone didn't dare to take his gaze.

Just when Zheng Xiong was helpless, the guards came in to report: "General Yu, Changshi Liu Hong asks to see!" ”
