Song Dynasty

Chapter 181 Yu Fu (Part [-])
Lu Benzhong comforted: "General, Wang Shen has been besieging Qichun and not fighting, but today there is such a commotion, there must be ghosts involved."

"Is there a ghost?" Kong Yanzhou stared at him with triangular eyes: "What ghost?"

"This shows that Wang Shen is also in a hurry, otherwise he would not use the most elite troops in his hands. However, although his main field battle is powerful, he has never attacked a city before, so he needs to be familiar with it first." Lu Benzhong analyzed: "You say Could it be that General Zhang Yong, General Cao Cheng and the leaders of the rebel armies gathered together to attack Huangzhou again?"

In fact, Lu Benzhong himself did not believe this. Zhang Yong and Cao Cheng had lost so badly before, and the three armies were already frightened. How could it be possible to regroup so quickly?
He was just wondering: what the hell is this Wang Shen doing?

I thought to myself: "Never mind him, anyway, I have nothing to lose by picking some nice words to say."

In fact, Lu Benzhong didn't know that Wang Shen sent troops to show off his force in front of the Shuixi Gate today and practiced his troops, purely to let the main force get acquainted with the siege tactics.The commander of the Sizhou army is good at field battles, but he is an amateur in the tough battles. Now it is easy to deal with those rogues. In the future, if the Northern Expedition happens, there will be countless strong cities in both Henan and Hebei.The Jin army is not a rogue. Once they can't win, the wind will be tight, and they will definitely stick to the city and wait for help.

In the future, the Sizhou army will inevitably gnaw over one city after another. It is better to be familiar with siege warfare earlier than to learn and use it again.

"That's right, that must be the case. Zhang Yong, Cao Cheng, and Li Hong, they're fighting back again."

Now, not only Kong Yanzhou, but also the other officers and men were filled with joy.

At this moment, a guard ran in holding up a small bamboo tube with two ends sealed with wax: "Master, Master, Anlu is flying a pigeon to pass the letter."

Inspired by Lu Benzhong and Wang Shen's communication with pigeons before, when Kong Yanzhou sent a messenger to Zhang Yong and Cao Cheng for help, he also asked him to bring old Lu's pigeons with him.

Kong Yanzhou took the bamboo tube, pinched open the wax seal and took out a piece of paper full of petite characters, took a look at it, and laughed wildly: "Haha, haha, it's finally here, it's here!"

The laughter is inexplicable.

Liu Fu hurriedly moved his head over: "General, what is written in the letter?"

Kong Yanzhou squeezed the letter, and said with a smile: "Everyone, the letter said that Zhang Yong, Cao Cheng, Li Hong, Shang Yuan and other eight leaders have used up all the soldiers and horses in their hands, a total of [-]. The two groups went to Huangzhou day and night. The letter said, Zhang Yong asked me to wait for half a month, no matter what, I will drag the Sizhou army here, and only wait for their army to arrive, and then go out to kill the generals in the center and wipe out the enemy in one fell swoop. Jun. Hehe, little Wang Shen, you are at the end of your rope, how long can you go on rampant now?"

"Great, great!" Everyone cheered in unison, and some people had tears in their eyes.

Kong Yanzhou: "Don't be idle, go up to the city wall immediately, and repair the city wall and equipment that were beaten up by the Sizhou army earlier."

"Yes." Everyone happily retreated.

Only Kong Yanzhou and Lu Benzhong were left in a hall of Nuo Da, and the candlelight was flickering.

Lu Benzhong stroked his beard smartly: "Congratulations to General Kong, we should also make plans early to see how to play the strategy of the next flowering of the center... ah!"

Before he could finish his sentence, he heard a "slap" and slapped him across the face.

Poor Lu Benzhong is a well-known celebrity in the world, and he is also a handsome and handsome man on weekdays.Kong Yanzhou's hand was so heavy that his nose bleeds and his face was swollen.

His body was turned half a circle by this huge force, and then he sat down on the ground, and spit out two big teeth with a "pooh".

Lu Benzhong yelled in fright: "General Kong, what are you doing, spare your life, spare your life!"

"Poor coward, you're still a famous person, straight to your mother! Congratulations, congratulations to your mother!" Kong Yanzhou was so angry that his eyes were red, and he threw the note he was holding onto Lu Benzhong's face : "Look for yourself, I'm going to be doomed, I'm really going to be doomed this time!"

This cry was like the wailing of a wild dog in the wasteland before it died, and it made people tremble in their hearts.

Lu Benzhong quickly unfolded the note, and was startled when he saw it: "It turns out that... the general just... lied to everyone..."

There are not many words on the note. It probably means that after Wang Shen beheaded 1 horses from Cao Chengjun and Yang Zaixing's troops in Huanggang last time, the troops from all walks of life did not dare to stay in Huangzhou and fled back to Anlu in a hurry.

After seeing the messenger Kong Yanzhou sent to ask for help, Zhang Yong also felt that Wang Shen nailed in Huangzhou was a huge threat to everyone.This battle will be fought sooner or later, and it cannot be avoided.It is better to take advantage of the Sizhou Army's return to Qichun and organize the rebel army to launch a military operation again.

However, as soon as Zhang Yong mentioned this matter, all the family members resisted and refused to send troops. Anyway, it was just one sentence, you go to the hard bones, and I will eat the meat. Dead friends don't die.

Not only that, there were also conflicts between the leaders of the various clans over territory, population, money and food.Zhang Yong and Cao Bing are many generals with strong strength, so naturally no one dares to provoke them.But among the other six leaders, Shang Yuan and Li Hong only have more than ten thousand troops, and the other four have thousands of remnant troops each, and every day they think about expanding their strength.

And the easiest way to expand your strength is to annex your companions who are similar in strength to your own. In the recent period, several leaders have begun to rub against each other, and they have already spoken about bloodshed, and it is hard to say when they will fight.

Zhang Yong saw that something was wrong. As the leader of a group of so-called rebel armies, he dealt with the various armies all day to make peace, and made his head dizzy like a struggle.In this way, the matter of attacking Huangzhou Wang Shen and saving Kong Yanzhou from fire and water is naturally out of the question.

"Nonsense, if you don't lie to them, what else can I say, saying that the reinforcements won't come, and I'm going to die?" Kong Yanzhou stared at Lu Benzhong with red eyes: "As long as there is a little bit of news about this matter, my military spirit will be broken." It’s hard to deal with it. Lao Shacai, it was your idea to let Lao Tzu stick to Qichun, and invite Zhang Yong and Cao Cheng to come to Jingchu. You killed Lao Tzu. Tell me, how should I treat you today? "

Whether Kong Yanzhou is dead or alive, Lu Benzhong doesn't care, as long as he can save his own life.But seeing the despair in his eyes at this moment, old man Lu was startled, and secretly cried out: "No, this Kong surnamed is cruel, I'm afraid I won't be able to walk out of here today."

He hurriedly shouted: "General Kong, what you said is deceitful. It was your intention to defend Qichun at the beginning. If it wasn't for the old man's idea to lure the two leaders Zhang and Cao over, Wang Shen would have no time to attack the city. I'm afraid that Qichun will be ruined by him long ago. If you don't thank the old man, how can you blame me?"

Kong Yanzhou grinned grimly: "I'm going to be finished now, but I can't control so much, I have to tear you up old man today to vent my anger." As he spoke, he drew out the knife with a clang, and forced towards Lu Benzhong step by step.
