Under the protection of Su Thick Legs, Zhu Dadian started the mode of fleeing violently, marched rapidly for many days, fled along the Yangtze River to the vicinity of Nanjing, and was preparing to collect ships to cross the Yangtze River to Nanjing to move rescue troops, but he did not expect that the speed of the Liukou was very fast, and the news that Chuzhou was broken immediately came. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Chuzhou is also the jurisdiction of the governor of Fengyang, less than a hundred miles away from Nanjing, if not across the Yangtze River, you can reach Nanjing from morning to evening.

Zhu Dadian and the others are even closer to Chuzhou, less than sixty miles away, if they let the Liukou discover their traces and invite a large army to besiege them, I am afraid that there will be more than one bad luck.

After Zhu Dadian heard the news that Chuzhou had also fallen, he almost fainted on the spot. His own Caoyun Governor and Governor of Fengyang has lost most of his jurisdiction before he takes office, and now even the last fig leaf of Chuzhou has been lost, and his career is afraid that it will come to an end. It is expected that the emperor will not tolerate a governor who has not yet officially taken office and has successively "lost his state and county" to continue to work.

He said to Su Rough Legs: "Hezhou and Chuzhou have fallen one after another, I, the governor and governor, am afraid that I will do it, if I lose the city and lose the land and cause the Liukou to advance eastward smoothly, and then covet Nanjing, not to mention the official position, my life will not be guaranteed, and my fate may be the same as the former Fengyang Governor Yang Yipeng, Caishikou will be beheaded." Take advantage of the fact that the rogues have not yet come, you can take the men and horses across the river to Nanjing, there are hundreds of thousands of troops there, and it is not a problem to deal with tens of thousands of rogues, so you don't have to worry about my dying people. ”

Su Thick Legs widened his eyes, and said loudly: "Making, what do you say?" If your subordinates are such ruthless and unrighteous people, they will leave you alone on the day the city is broken. Since there are more than 100,000 troops in Nanjing, we will cross the river to Nanjing to move the rescue troops, borrow troops to recover the lost territory, as long as the city is lost and regained, the emperor will not blame you. ”

Zhu Dadian was very moved by his righteousness, but when he heard that he was going to Nanjing to move the rescue troops, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Chutu, you are still too young." It is possible to hide in Nanjing City to protect yourself, but it is impossible to move in from the city to rescue soldiers. Although the number of guards and battalions in Nanjing was large, it was impossible for them to go out of the city to fight, and their only task was to protect the city of Nanjing. Something went wrong in Nanjing, and no one could afford it. ”

Su Thick Legs was a little puzzled: "Could it be that the officials and lords in Nanjing let the rogue kill people and set fire under their noses?" ”

Zhu Dadian looked at the south from afar and sighed: "In fact, even if the old soldiers in Nanjing go out of the city, they may not be able to beat the Liukou, Cao Wenzhao has a lot of experience in beating the Liukou, but he is still in Henan, and the water far away can't quench the thirst, and the only hope now is that the general army of Xia will arrive quickly." ”

sighed and sighed, it was time to run away, Su Thick Legs commanded the standard battalion to collect boats along the coast and prepare to cross the Yangtze River.

The roof leak happened to rain overnight, and something worse happened.

When preparing to cross the river, more than 100 rangers of Liukou met with the standard battalion cavalry on the periphery, and there was a conflict, and the standard battalion cavalry beat the other party away by virtue of the advantage of numbers, and the cavalry Qian always proudly asked Zhu Dadian for credit. Su on the side stomped his feet and said, "Why don't you annihilate the other party?" Letting them go now is sure to attract more rogues, and it's bad now. ”

Cavalry President Qianzong was furious, angrily pointed at Su Thick Leg and scolded: "Su Qianzong, you rely on the trust of the control platform, from Shandong to Anhui, all the way to command, I have been patient with you for a long time, now that I have beaten away the enemy, I still have to talk nonsense, it is too deceitful!" ”

The cavalry and the infantry were originally not subordinate to each other, but Zhu Dadian trusted Su Thick Leg very much, and invisibly this standard battalion infantry Qian Zong was one head higher than the cavalry Qianzong, this cavalry Qian Zong had been resentful for a long time, and at this time he couldn't help but erupt.

Su Bushy Legs talked about things, and did not mean to belittle the other party, he was angry when he heard this, and was about to roll up his sleeves and step forward, but was stopped by Zhu Dadian.

Zhu Dadian played a round in the middle: "It's all your own family, don't hurt the harmony." "If it were in normal times, the generals under his command spoke like this, implying that he would have ordered punishment a long time ago, and now that the tiger has fallen to Pingyang, he has to test these people for protection on the way to escape, so he has to knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.

After all, Zhu Dadian is still the governor and governor, and the right attendant of the military department is a member of the third grade, Yu Wei is still there, and the cavalry commander does not dare to make a mistake even if he is dissatisfied, so he gets off the donkey and throws down a sentence, "For the sake of the table, I won't worry about you today." He turned and walked away.

It turned out that Su's judgment was correct. Half an hour later, dust rose from the north, hooves rumbled, and a cavalry quickly approached, and one of the first people shouted from afar: "Liu Wenxiu, the righteous son of the Eighth King, is here, and the dog officer in front quickly dismounts and dies!" ”

Seeing that Su was said by Su Rough Legs, and the reinforcements of the Liukou really came, the cavalry Qian couldn't hold back on his face, and hugged his fists to ask Zhu Dadian for battle: "I have heard for a long time that Zhang Xianzhong's gang has four righteous sons, all of whom are brave and good at fighting, and I will go to meet this Liu Wenxiu today, and please order the infantry to press the formation in the rear." ”

Zhu Dadian's face was as usual, and he nodded and said, "Go ahead, if you cut the head of the thief before the battle, Ben Fu will ask for credit for you." ”

The cavalry commander looked happy and took the order.

Liu Wenxiu only brought about 800 cavalry, perhaps because after learning the news of Zhu Dadian, he was afraid that this big fish would escape, so he came in a hurry. The cavalry of the standard battalion was originally 1,500 cavalry, but some of them were left behind on the way to escape, and there were about 1,000 cavalry left. The strength of the two sides is equal, and the standard battalion still has a slight upper hand, which is also the confidence of the cavalry Qianzong to dare to challenge the other party.

He shouted, "Brothers, cutting this down is a great achievement, and everyone has a share!" ”

The cavalry of the standard battalion urged the horses and roared to meet them. Liu Wenxiu, who was on the other side, didn't talk nonsense, and led eight hundred horsemen to pounce like a tiger descending the mountain, and the two sides collided fiercely.

Su Thick Leg was about to summon the remaining more than 700 standard battalion soldiers to come forward to help, but was stopped by Zhu Dadian.

"Take this opportunity to cross the river as soon as possible, we must not miss the opportunity."

Su Thick Legs was stunned when he heard this, although he had an opinion on this cavalry Qian, but one yard is one yard, and he still has to be consistent with the outside world when he meets the Liukou, but he didn't expect the governor to open his mouth and run first.

"Why are you still stunned? Let's go. Zhu Dadian saw that he was stunned and urged.

He has long heard that Zhang Xianzhong's four righteous sons are brave, if you talk about the personal courage of the general and the flag, the first to recommend this Liu Wenxiu, the cavalry of the standard camp is just a ragtag army in the hands of the general soldiers of Shandong, and the physical consumption is great all the way to escape, how can you beat the opponent who is full of physical strength and vigorous tigers? If you hesitate, wait until Liu Wenxiu's victory to entangle the infantry of Su Thick Legs with the mobility advantage of cavalry, and then come to an army of Liukou, you will die on the bank of the Yangtze River today.

If you don't leave now, when will you stay?
