Chapter 946
Just when Lin Renzhao was in a dilemma and could not advance or retreat, the envoy sent by Liu Bian arrived in Xuzhou.

Lin Renzhao and others will be overjoyed to learn that Liu Bian has successfully wiped out Liu Bei and is now returning to Qingzhou with Qingzhou soldiers and horses, and is heading to Xuzhou for support.

The originally hesitant heart was also firmed up. With Liu Bian bringing a large army to help, let alone conquering a county, it would not be a problem to conquer the entire Xuzhou.

The county where Lin Renzhao and Zhao Guangyi are rectifying at this moment is Langya.

The famous Zhuge Liang is from Langya County. Langya County is in the north of Xuzhou. If Langya County is captured, not only can it attack other counties and counties in Xuzhou to the south, but it can also attack Yanzhou to the west. The geographical location is very important to attack Yanzhou in three directions: east, west, and north.

It can be said that taking Langya down, Liu Bian was [-]% easier to defeat Zhao Guangyi.

Zhao Guangyi also knew this truth very well, and he refused to give up an inch of ground. He led his troops to attack the Han army led by Lin Renzhao, trying to expel them back to Qingzhou in the shortest possible time.

Langya Battlefield is located in the middle of Langya, Ju County.

A month ago, Lin Renzhao took advantage of the time when Zhao Guangyi led his troops back to Yanzhou, and his troops entered Langya and attacked Juxian County in the central part of Langya.

But because Zhao Guangyi led his troops back to Xuzhou soon, Lin Renzhao had no choice but to shrink his troops to Ju County.

Lin Renzhao, Tai Shici, Tang Bin, Li Shuwen, Zhou Chu and others will lead 2 troops in the city.And Yang Zaixing, Zhang Xutuo, Li Wenzhong, Qi Jiguang and other generals led more than [-] people to camp outside the city, and they competed with Lin Renzhao's soldiers and horses in Ju County.

Yang Zaixing is famous, and now he is like a god of war in the Xuzhou army. Even if Zhao Guangyi has [-] troops, he dare not attack.

Such a situation reached a stalemate for a while.

But fortunately at this moment Liu Bian has led reinforcements and is rushing towards Langya.

Among them are Chen Qingzhi's 9 Qingzhou soldiers and horses, with Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, Wen Yang and other generals under his command.There are also the elite headquarters brought by Liu Bian from Luoyang. There are generals Dianwei, Yang Miaozhen, Yang Yansi and others under his command, plus Yu Chigong's Xuanjia elite, a total of nearly [-] horses.

The 9-strong horse marched southward, and the scouts sent by Zhao Guangyi naturally learned of the situation. His scouts rushed all the way, returned to the camp outside the city of Ju County, and reported to Zhao Guangyi.

When Zhao Guangyi got the news, his face turned pale with fright.

Now there are only [-] Han troops in Ju County, and he can't defeat them. Now Liu Bian has brought [-] troops over, how can he fight?
Knowing that Liu Bian led a large group of soldiers and horses to help, Zhao Guangyi immediately summoned the generals to come to discuss matters.

"Unexpectedly, Liu Bei was wiped out by Liu Bian in just two or three months. Now he leads Chen Qingzhi's Qingzhou soldiers and horses back to Qingzhou. There are more than [-] people in total. They came straight to Ju County in a mighty way, aiming at Xuzhou. The terrain around Ju County is flat and there is no danger to defend, so I decided to avoid Liu Bian's attack and retreat to the south of Langya, which is the hill!" Zhao Guangyi said to the generals.

Now in Zhao Guangyi's army, there are Li Jilong, Xia Luqi, Hu Yanzan, Yu Jin, Xu Chu from Yanzhou, Jing Si and other generals, and Shi Wansui who has just recovered from serious injuries.

In addition, Zhao Guangyi also brought the counselor Zhao Pu by his side to give advice.

Just as Zhao Pu was about to speak, Xu Chu said in a low voice: "So what if Liu Bian is here, Xuzhou is our base camp, they have a geographical advantage, and they have a lot of people, so we have nothing to fear."

Xu Chu, however, was deeply concerned about Zhao Kuangyin's death. Although he surrendered to Zhao Guangyi in order to protect Zhao Kuangyin's heirs, he didn't like Zhao Guangyi very much.Even if what Zhao Guangyi said was reasonable, Xu Chu would still sing the opposite, not to mention that Zhao Guangyi was timid before fighting, and Xu Chu looked down on him even more.

"What do you know? Back then I led a hundred thousand troops to storm Gaomi, and even suffered a great loss from the Han army. Yang Zaixing alone was not easy to deal with, and the Han army had generals who came from other directions to supplement their strength. Now Liu Bian is even more powerful. Lead the troops to the south. If I don't retreat, I will be defeated by him, and Xuzhou will be lost, so it is better to go south in advance to prevent Liu Bian from attacking Xuzhou."

Zhao Guangyi first reprimanded Xu Chu, and then said: "If you are really capable, then challenge Yang Zaixing. If you can defeat him, I will not retreat."

Zhao Guangyi also found Xu Chu disliked, so he wanted to use Yang Zaixing's hand to teach Xu Chu a lesson.

"Hmph, challenge is a challenge. I, Xu Chu, stand upright. I'm afraid he won't succeed?" Xu Chu snorted coldly, but left the camp with a machete.

"Zhongkang, don't be impulsive!"

"Come back soon!"

Seeing this situation, all the generals rushed to pull him away, but Xu Chu was also stubborn, and he was so provoked by Zhao Guangyi, he would not turn his head back.

"My lord, General Xu Chu has such a temper. Don't be as knowledgeable as he is. Now is the time to employ people. General Xu Chu is skilled in martial arts, so we can't let him go." Zhao Pu hurriedly cupped his hands to persuade him, for fear that Zhao Guangyi would murder Xu Chu .

"Hmph, Xu Chu is arrogant, he doesn't take me seriously, let's see what he can do today!" Zhao Guangyi said and followed him out of the camp.But he didn't intend to kill Xu Chu, after all, he didn't have many generals under him.

Xu Chu carried the iron machete, straddled his horse and left the camp, heading straight for the city of Ju County.

Seeing that they couldn't hold back, all the generals hurriedly brought a troop over to raid the formation for Xu Chu.

Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Pu watched from behind.

When Xu Chu came to the city of Ju County, he shouted, "I am Xu Chu, General of Yanzhou. Yang Zaixing dares to come out and fight me?"

But it is said that Yang Zaixing was brought to camp outside the city. The Han army established a camp outside the city, and the soldiers and horses in the city formed horns and took care of each other.

There are Yang Zaixing, Qi Jiguang, Li Wenzhong, Zhang Xutuo, Yue Yun and other generals in the camp outside the city.

The generals got the news and led a cavalry out of the camp. Lin Renzhao also led the generals to the top of the city.

"Why are you shouting, your grandfather is here!" Yang Zaixing urged the horse out of the camp, seeing Xu Chu looking at the top of the wall and calling his name, he couldn't help being a little funny.

Xu Chu turned around, seeing Yang Zaixing making fun of him, he couldn't help feeling ashamed and annoyed, and said coldly, "Yang Zaixing, do you dare to fight me?"

"Why don't you dare?" Yang Zaixing snorted coldly and wanted to urge him to fight immediately.

On the side, Yue Yun quickly grabbed Yang Zaixing's reins, and said: "Uncle Yang, the Yanzhou soldiers and horses you have killed these days are all timid, why don't you let me go into battle, I will lead the army out, but I haven't fought a single fight!"

Yang Zaixing saw that it was Yue Yun who asked to fight, and thought: "Yue Yun is young, but his martial arts are no longer inferior to mine. If he defeats Yanzhou general Xu Chu, he will definitely be able to deter Yanzhou soldiers and horses, but the effect is better than mine."

Thinking of this, Yang Zaixing nodded, and said in a deep voice, "You will fight against Xu Chu, but be careful, this man's saber skills are very sharp!"
