Suzhou Prefecture, Yanqiao County.

There were also many burnt siege wreckages around the east and south sides of the city, and the bodies of some soldiers who had no time to collect were piled up in one place. Yang Xingmi's command of the Yashi War Department set up camp and had previously carried out several rounds of attempted siege battles. Although it was inevitable that there would be a certain amount of casualties, it also severely hit the morale of the Liang army who was defending the city.

After all, Pang Shigu and Guo Yan, two Liang generals, were killed in battle, and 50,000 troops were easily defeated by the enemy, which was really unexpected. Yang Xingmi was aggressive and his generals took advantage of the situation to counterattack immediately. Now they are defending Suzhou, and the Liang army in the two states of Haozhou are struggling to resist the enemy's fierce attack.

In addition to Liu Wei, Tao Ya and other generals, who were in charge of the lord Jun's order, Yu Jiangdong led his troops to guard against the neighboring Qian Liu's forces. Yang Xingmi's generals gathered Li Shenfu, Tian Feng, Zhou Ben, Wang Maozhang, Mi Zhicheng... and even Li Hou, who was in charge of Heiyundu, who was the best at fighting and fighting, came together. In the Liang army guarding Suzhou and Haozhou, only Gao Jichang, who was promoted and reused by Zhu Wen, was in charge of military affairs. Of course, he also resisted the fierce attack of the enemy troops under Yang Xingmi's command.

Since you can't beat it, then don't fight it.

When the news that Zhongli, the Haozhou capital, had been broken by the enemy, reached Yanqiao County, suddenly one day, the city gate was quietly opened to the west of the city. Teams of Liang army rushed out and marched towards the west. It seemed that they had planned to abandon the city and intended to retreat to the hinterland controlled by the Liang army as soon as possible.

"Hurry! Let me be quick! Since the thief Yang Xingmi has taken Haozhou, the enemy troops will probably go north soon. If Suzhou Hanqiao is surrounded by all sides, it will be too late for us to run away again!"

A general of Liang Jun urged his horse to scold him, wishing to escape from the danger immediately. He looked like a tiger's head, a swallow's forehead, a kite's shoulders, and a jackal's eyes. He looked both majestic and ferocious. His appearance was quite unique. The Liang Jiang's eyebrows were mixed with some philosophical and cunning, and it seemed that he was often calculating.

And a member of the family was about to move forward, and hesitated:

"General Gao... After all, King Liang ordered us to defend the accommodation to the two states of Hao. Although Yang Xingmi attacked fiercely and the enemy was in great force... But if our army retreated so easily, King Liang would blame him... So what should we do?"

Originally transferred by Zhu Wen, he was in charge of guarding the original military vassal states and robbed him. Gao Jichang, who was in charge of the military affairs of Suzhou and Haozhou, was in charge of Xu and Si, and glared at the military affairs of Suzhou and Haozhou when he heard this, raised his whip, pointed at the tooth and scolded him:

"You know what's the matter! Now the lord personally leads the army to fight against Li Tianqu, and he also has to distribute troops to Hebei to fight with Li Keyong Nashatuhan. Pang Shigu's foolish and stupid bird was not helpful. The 50,000 troops under his command were easily defeated. Where can reinforcements be able to rush to our Hao and the two states in time?

This is called "Fake a False Crime", just like Guan Pu's arrangement of flowers to make money. Knowing that the five gods were blocking their eyes and leaving their backs, no matter how they bet, they would lose. As soon as they took them off the gambling table, they would take the bad luck. Otherwise, my family would have to be in there for no reason!

I will deal with it on my side, and you are worried about a bird? What kind of friendship do I have with my lord? Bianzhou Qilang (Zhu Wen's adopted son Zhu Yourang's original surname is Li, and he is used to being called Li Qilang) is my adopted father. The lord is my adopted father's adoptive father, and that is my own grandfather! He should know my difficulties, but if he abandons the land, he will lose. How could he bear to severely punish my righteous grandson?"

The one who was scolded can only be said to be true, while Gao Jichang regarded himself as Zhu Wen's grandson. It seemed that he was not ashamed of him, but also very proud. He asked himself that he could probably guess Zhu Wen's taboos. Now his lord is also overwhelmed by confronting Li Tianqu. Now that he abandoned the city and retreated to the west in order to preserve his strength, he would not have been severely punished by Zhu Wen.

Li Tianqu naturally knew that Gao Jichang was very good at catering to the best and was very good at judging people's hearts. Among the separatist regimes of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, other founding monarchs had to constantly annex the surrounding forces to conquer Zhu Wen. Only this "Gao Laizi" relied on flattery to please Zhu Wen. He was suspicious and often executed treacherous heroes who were unable to do things, so he came to Jingnan as a military governor. Then he turned against the Later Tang to surrender to the King of Nanping, and his territory had almost never been moved...

Other monarchs who ruled the ruler conquered the world with his own talent and great strategy, while Gao Jichang's territory was all based on his sharp mouth and repeated means of persuasiveness.

At this time, Gao Jichang pinched the teeth and Sifu for a moment, but saw that the teeth were still stunned on the spot. He immediately swung the whip and waved it at him again, and then cursed:

"A stupid bird! What a stupid? Retreat, retreat quickly!"

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

The 50,000 troops that captured Xuzhou were killed and defeated. The two generals Pang Shigu and Guo Yan were killed, and even Su and Haozhou were lost to the White Horse in Huazhou. A violent sound suddenly sounded in the hall where Li Tianqu was stationed. Zhu Wen was furious and was about to kick the handsome boy who was standing in front of him!

"First, Ding Hui rebelled... He was so grateful to Gu for his past appreciation and promotion! One day... Gu would have to peel off your traitor, cramp, and crush your bones and ashes! Li Tianqu, Li Tianqu... Gu took you into Zheng and Hua Erzhou, but you attacked Songzhou under my rule, and made an effort to merge Jeju and Huizhou. He incited Yang Xingmi to become your helper, and then seized my Suzhou and Hao Erzhou, and now even Shigu..."

Zhu Wen was chanting anger, and his teeth were clattering with hatred. Hearing the bad news of his direct confidant Pang Shigu's death, Zhu Wen was furious and couldn't help feeling a little relieved, because he felt a little sad because of the death of the old subordinate...

Gu's most trusted ministers are Jingxiang, and Pang Shigu. Jingxiang is just a civil servant, who is in charge of Bianliang and is in charge of civil affairs in various towns. Now Shigu is dead... Even though the generals gather in the tent, who else can be fully trusted like Gu Shigu?

Zhu Wen is indeed not at the moment in his mind to hold Gao Jichang, who was abandoned by Suzhou, and he got angry, but he suddenly woke up. When has he been so angry for many years? Li Tianqu is more difficult to deal with than expected, and he must be more calm and not act voluntarily.

Zhu Wen's mood quickly calmed down, thinking that since Yang Xingmi also chose to be an enemy of his own forces, the secret chess against him seemed to have to be used in advance... But now the west is going to distribute troops to guard Wang Jian who occupied Shu, and the north is also working with Wei Bo and Chengde towns to fight against the Jin army of Li Keyong, the east is going to fight against Li Tianqu's army. At present, it is really not appropriate to send troops to the southeast to try to invade Xu Si and Jianghuai states...

Zhu Wen sat back on the handsome chair again. He thought for a moment, suddenly laughed in a dark voice and muttered:

"Ziqing Army Wang Shifan, it turns out that you, a child, also want to be enemies with me..."

After ten days, under the rule of the Ziqing Army's vassal states, and in the four counties of Yangxin, Shanghe, Yanci and Putai, located north of the Yellow River (later belonging to Binzhou City, Shandong Province), suddenly 30,000 Liang troops entered the country through the Wei Bo Army territory.

Zhu Youning, the nephew of Zhu Wen, was appointed as the commander of the victory commander of the Xuanwu Army's yameni army, and quickly swept the defenders of Ziqing counties and cooperated with the army to take advantage of the situation to besiege Yancicheng, the capital of Dizhou. Zhu Youning continued to lead his troops south and still wanted to invade other prefectures under the rule of Ziqing Army.

After hearing the news, the Jiedushi Wang Shifan hurriedly dispatched generals to lead their troops to attack him, but was killed and defeated. The Liang army, led by Zhu Youning, seized thousands of horses and beheaded thousands of times. The subsequent battles were also winning consecutive battles. The Wei Bo army cooperated to deliver ships. Zhu Youning then rushed across the river, and the troops headed toward Qingzhou, the vassal capital of Ziqing Army.
