As soon as he spoke, he scared Zhu Chun. The Zheng family jumped. The couple immediately widened their eyes and became a little stupid in an instant.

The two adults were in a daze, still in their dreams. Although they and Zhu Li hadn't seen each other for three years, Zhu Li was only sixteen years old. Have you ever met the sixteen-year-old governor? Anyway, with their knowledge, they must have never seen it before.

Just as they were dizzy and as if they were stepping on the clouds, Zhu Li welcomed the three of them into the camp. After sitting down, she told the whole story. After hearing this, Zhu Chun and Zheng were like sleepwalking. Her son, the silly boy, actually became such a big official, which surprised the two of them.

The two of them are from mud legs. Although Zhu Chun has practiced some small martial arts and has some knowledge, his knowledge cannot withstand the surprise of falling from the sky.

Not to mention the two of them were surprised and proud. Just talking about how could the Budai Monk save Zhu Li's parents?

This monk is not a person who only eats but does not do anything. Since he agreed to Gao Su's request, he naturally would not keep his word. He blackmailed some money from Gao Su and went south towards Chang'an.

He thought of his identity and went to join the coalition forces, but he would definitely not accept it. Since Zhu Li was fighting against the Cao army, he might as well surrender to Zhu Li's opponent army. Just pay close attention to Zhu Li's movements, which may better take care of Zhu Li's safety.

But shortly after he joined the Cao Army, he became a monk again, and his identity was naturally a bit transcendent. When Li Yanzhang betrayed Zhu Li's parents, Zhu Wen planned to get rid of Zhu Li, so he thought that he had the opportunity to cut off the cause and effect. He was originally going to take advantage of Zhu Li's danger to help him.

But he didn't expect that Zhu Li was so fierce that she beat five of them by herself. By the way, she later killed another heavyweight general, and the remaining two were left, and it didn't seem to be his opponent.

In this way, he would not have the chance to save Zhu Li, but he then attacked Zhu Li's parents. With his identity as a grass army and his skills, he naturally could easily capture Zhu Li's parents without any danger.

Zhu Li was very happy to see her parents being rescued and thanked the Budai Monk in all kinds of ways. The monk was not polite and refused everyone. His broken pocket was very magical. No matter how much money was stuffed into it, it disappeared without a trace in an instant, and it was simply a bottomless pit. (In the legend about Budai Monk, there is indeed this statement about his Budai Monk, and it was not fabricated by the author)

It was not suitable for his parents to stay in the army, so Zhu Li wrote to Guo Qizuo, asking him to send someone to take his Alang and A Niang to Shuozhou, and by the way, the little girl Ning'er could also relieve her knot.

With his parents around, Zhu Li will naturally no longer be afraid of Zhu Wen's actions.

The confrontation between Cao Army and the coalition became more and more intense. Zhu Li suggested that Zheng Ting actually demonstrate fatigue tactics against the enemy. In the Cao Army camp, at night, the sleeping Cao Army guards and officers at all levels would be awakened by a sound of gongs and drums. When they organized their men and went to pursue, the coalition soldiers of the initiator had already run away.

Frequently, facing this situation, Zhu Wen divided his subordinates into three waves, taking turns to rest. The resting people stuffed cotton wool into their ears. Even if the sky collapsed outside, they couldn't wake them up, which resolved Zhu Li's fatigue tactics.

As the saying goes, it is impolite to come but not to go back. The coalition forces frequently take action, and the Cao army is not willing to be outdone. The Cao army spreads rumors that Zhu Li was originally a member of the Cao army. Now that he is in the coalition forces, he will sooner or later, and help the Cao army defeat the coalition forces, etc. It is said with a slight slight, which makes people have to doubt the authenticity of this matter, not to mention that the partnership business is difficult to do, let alone some bad things.

The warlords who had lost their pus.

Faced with their rumors, Zhu Li resolved them even more easily. She rode alone to the Cao Army camp to fight, and took on several powerful generals in the Cao Army. The weight of this letter of surrender caused the Cao Army to be self-defeated.

Both sides went back and forth, and their strange plans fell out, with endless means, and they fought in a prosperous and prosperous battle.

Time came October of the first year of Zhonghe.

The coalition soldiers had no success in fighting for a long time. It was almost winter, and no other warlords came to join. In addition, the army was short of food and supplies, Zheng Qi decided to reduce the military pay of the soldiers under his command in half. Of course, he was targeting the Fengxiang Army. After all, each of the governors was an independent military group. Although Zheng Qi was the commander of the camp and the commander of the coalition, he could not control the military and political affairs of other warlords.

Other Jiedushi didn't know about Zheng Ting's decision.

In mid-October, Li Changyan, who was the Sima of Fengxiang Army at that time, used most of his soldiers to dissatisfied with Zheng Ting's attitude of reducing the salary and instigated them to follow him to raise an uprising. A mutiny occurred in Fengxiang's army, and countless guards surrounded the Jiedu camp and forced Zheng Ting to palace.

The incident happened suddenly, Zheng Ting, who was alert to his wrong decision, regretted it, but it was too late to say anything now. The army mutiny. As one of the two most important armies to resist the Cao Army, the Fengxiang Army suddenly lost its role. The original intention of attacking Huang Chao in the south and invading the Chang'an to fight the king was probably because of his decision. When Zheng Ting thought of this, he became discouraged.

He did not want his former subordinates to fight each other because of Li Changyan's provocation. After all, the Fengxiang army was founded by Zheng Ting, and it was all his efforts in his time as Fengxiang Jiedu. With this complicated mood, he asked Li Changyan to swear in public that as long as the other party promised to die in the Southern Conquest Queen, he would give up the position of Jiedu to the other party, and Zheng Ting ran away alone.

It was just a vow, and Li Changyan agreed without hesitation.

After Zhu Li and others learned the truth, the situation was hopeless, and the coalition forces suddenly dropped by nearly half, and the facts could not be saved.

Everyone was still confident about Zheng Ting, but they lacked any respect for the newly released Li Changyan. Li Changyan, who had just become a military governor, would not hold his hot face to touch others' cold butts when he was full of energy. He ignored other military governors. This guy had a very personal personality to lead troops away, and ignored his original promise to Zheng Ting.

The coalition forces disintegrated in Weinan, and Li Changyan led Fengxiang's army back to Fengxiang, while the remaining members of the coalition forces were forced to retreat to Fuping due to the reduction of military strength.

Fuping is Chi County, Guanzhong, with its capital, Yiting City. The city walls are tall and thick, and the city is rich in food and grass. It is indeed the best garrison for the coalition forces to deal with the Cao army at present. (Tang Dynasty counties are divided into levels: Chi, Chi, Ji, Ji, Ji, and Ji, and Wang, tight, upper, middle, middle, and lower ten levels, Chi County is the largest county.)

The Cao Army chased Fuping and saw the tall and open city walls of Yiting, so they had to station outside the city and did not dare to attack rashly. Although Fengxiang's army drove away, there were at least tens of thousands of troops in the city, and the casualties in the siege were too high. Neither Zhu Wen nor Meng Kai were willing to pay this price.

However, they were unwilling, and some were unhappy. Huang Chaoyan ordered Zhu Wen and Meng Kai to drive these royal soldiers out of Guanzhong before the New Year, otherwise he would not sleep well, and for this, he also added tens of thousands of troops to the two.

After Huang Chao's order arrived, the battle of siege broke out. Countless grass troops carried ladders and rushed towards Yiting City with siege rams. All the city walls on all sides were siege cities. The coalition forces on the city walls were also unwilling to be outdone. Fuping was a big county, very rich, and naturally there would be no shortage of food and grass. In the absence of shortage of food and grass, Zhu Wen and Meng Kai actually dared to attack the city, and they were happy to see it.

For a moment

Above the city, thousands of arrows were fired, and oil was rolling. Wood and big stones fell from the sky in a row. The wailing sounds of crying and shouting at my parents, and the noise of charging in an instant resounded through the sky, shaking and shaking all over the world. Some people even had no time to make a sound and were smashed into meat pie.

Zhu Li surrendered and nearly 10,000 infantry gathered together came in handy. Zhou Dewei and Shi Yan took them to the top of the city, honing their will in the blood and fire, tempering their transformation from ordinary farmers to professional soldiers.

To be honest, if you can't fight, Zhu Li definitely doesn't want to fight. They are all the Han people, killing and losing each other. These are the foundations of the Central Plains. Is it easy for a person to live to the battlefield from birth? His parents have worked hard for several years, and some people have completely rushed to the underworld for reincarnation without even a second. All of them have been in vain for one or twenty years of raising them.

However, this battle was not subject to his will. Huang Chao wanted to fight, Cao Jun had to fight, and Zhu Li was forced to defend herself, which was a matter of necessity.

---------------

In August, Zhu Li wrote to Guo Qizuo, asking him to send someone to the army to welcome his parents back to Shuozhou. Guo Qizuo dared not ignore Zhu Li's parents.

He has been carefully selecting the people who went to greet him. Now Gao Yuan is guarding Bitouzhai and Zhang Guiba is guarding Yanmen Pass. These two people are absolutely unable to move. Gao Su is in the expedition to Yinzhou, and his men are already short of their power, and no one can draw them.

Huo Qing and Zhang Guihou went abroad to the frontier, and they didn't know when they would come back every time they went on a war. They were unpredictable and could not find anyone. When ordinary people went, they were worried, so they had to seek help from Fan Yang.

It was already early September when Yuchi Jin received Guo Qizuo's request. And this time the matter was nothing else. Instead, he went to welcome Zhu Li's parents. As Yuchi Jin, who had his heart on Zhu Li, this was a big deal and must not be ignored.

However, she also had her own plans. Since Zhu Li was a stingy wood, she had to put down her arrogant figure and use some methods. It has to be said that women in the Tang Dynasty dared to love and hate, and women were as good as men, and in some aspects it was better than countless men.

She took Mrs. Yuchi to Shanyang first, and after first putting her mother in Zhu Li's governor's mansion, she set off with her two people. Of course, the Yuchi family army was accompanied by the more than a thousand elite troops brought from Hongzhou to the north.

After more than a month of trekking, they had just arrived at the Fuping land, and the scouts reported to her everything that happened to Zhu Li during the period when she went south to serve the king.

Only then did she realize that Fuping was fighting, and the party being beaten was the coalition forces where Zhu Li was located. After carefully analyzing Zhu Li's current situation, she decided to stop and find a hidden place to station it, and closely monitor Fuping's war. Her more than a thousand people said that there were not more or less. At critical moments, she could also serve as a surprise soldier. This was her plan.

However, this waited for nearly a month. From early October to November, Fuping's siege still did not stop, and the Cao Army's reinforcements continued to travel to Fuping, with the momentum of swearing to win Fuping to the death, which made Yuchi Jin worry.

But her more than a thousand people, let alone going to rescue her, it is difficult to rush into the city. Even if she rushed in by chance, how many people could be left at that time, and what role could it play?
