Chapter 178: A bad news and a good news

Tao Wuming wanted to go out on his own, but he still had to earn a favor from himself.

These ancestral Lao Yin Bi...

Chu Xujun gathered up the smoky green embroidered lotus cloak on his body: "...How can you force others to do something difficult? I wonder if this friend of yours has a disciple or two? A famous teacher gives birth to a great disciple, maybe he can save us from this crisis?"

This is to ask, is Chu Liang qualified as Tao Wuming's disciple?

"If there is a disciple who can study with him for ten or eight years, he may be able to go to war for the master, but this friend of mine has been hiding around for these years and has not had time to raise such a great disciple. It is a pity." Tao Wuming shook his head.

Chu Xujun stopped talking. Even if Chu Liang could do it, she didn't want Chu Liang to lose his life easily again.

I agreed to Tao Wuming, should I give this SSR to Zhu Qi?

She also wanted to stay and help Wei Ling defend the city.

At the moment, none of the villains around Wei Ling have been singled out. Tao Wuming is as smart as a demon. With him by Wei Ling's side, Chu Xujun feels more at ease.

If that doesn't work, take both of them with you.

"Mr. Tao, it's getting late, why not rest at Chu's house. I'll come back tomorrow for advice."

Tao Wuming looked at Meiwa, whose face was as dark as water. She had probably made up her mind, but she didn't know what it was.

King Li invited him, and even though he needed three visits, he arrived at the door of Chu Xujun's house, and she was still so reserved.

Tao Wuming: "If this is the case, I will disturb the eldest lady."

The man in plain clothes felt at ease under the care of wheat and lived in the guest house of Qingyi House.

**********

Chu Xujun had a very restless sleep that night, tossing and turning.

The panda cub next to the bed was making a fuss all night long.

Ximei, who was keeping vigil at night, got up with two big black circles under her eyes.

In the early morning of that day, the carrier pigeon from Jeju did not come, and the people sent along the road to inquire about the two Chu brothers had no news either.

There are so many roads to choose from from Zhongzhou to Jeju. Chu Xujun has sent people. Whether they can find the Chu brothers is a problem. Even if they are found, how to persuade the two brothers who are so decisive to rush back is even more difficult.

Chu Xujun regretted a little. She originally planned to use the Phoenix Tower to gradually establish her own information network.

The reason is simple. No matter what kind of battle you fight, information is always the most important.

The so-called fight between the rich and the poor is also about the information gap.

To give a simple example, when the real estate market has not yet started, some people get the news first, and those who have the ability directly start buying real estate. Those with less ability can also buy a few units. When the real estate market picks up, these first movers will be the winners.

If there is any news about the collapse of the real estate market, those people will withdraw early, and the losses will be almost nothing. If similar situations happen several times, they will gradually become the few people at the top of the pyramid.

Chu Xujun knew the plot of the original book and had an information gap, but she missed the details and still put her loved ones in trouble.

The Xu family, who are related to the Yin family, also received the news today. Xu Qingqing came over early in the morning and said, "I heard from my father that King Li's army made a preemptive strike and arrived at the Yucheng downstairs. They have been shouting and cursing for three days and three nights. The Jeju army held firm and did not send anyone to fight.

. Come to think of it, there aren’t enough manpower in the city.”

Chu Xujun: "Where is Zhu Qi? It doesn't mean that he has arrived in Jeju."

"Zhu's Ye army is guarding Liangshui Pass, but they are not good at water warfare."

Our country has a vast territory and rich resources. In ancient times, most battlefields in the Central Plains relied on the power of the mother Yellow River. Once it expanded, there would be worries about crossing the river.

The straw boat borrowed arrows and the fire burned Red Cliff is an example.

Furthermore, Lao Zhu, the later emperor who truly made his fortune from scratch, was defeated miserably in his early battle with Chen Youliang because he had no comparable ship.

This caused a shadow in Lao Zhu's heart. After he became emperor, the ships in the southeast became bigger and bigger, and then there was the story of the eunuch Ma Sanbao-Zheng Chenggong's voyage to the West.

The Zhu family sent troops to Huizhou, which was famous for its dangerous mountains and strange rocks. It was normal for him to fall down if he was not good at water fighting.

King Li lost

After Tao Wuming, it was because of the guidance of some expert that he seized Ye Jun's weak point.

According to the path of the previous life, King Li waited until Zhu Qi and Yin Yue got married, and after marrying his wife in Zhongzhou, he got 150,000 troops, and successfully captured Jeju via the road, before he launched a large force and vowed to capture the Ye army.

At the same time, news came that the Xirong, in collusion with the Huns, and a mighty army of 200,000, were aggressively attacking Yancheng in Jizhou.

If Zhu Qi abandoned Jeju to resist the invasion from the west, he would undoubtedly hand over the throne to King Li who was one step away from Jingzhou.

But if he ignores foreign enemies, he will completely lose the support of the people and have no chance of becoming the world leader.

King Li has already lost public opinion, so he doesn't need to care.

But Zhu Qi raised his troops out of "benevolence" and under the banner of "Qingjun side", he could not let the Xirong and the Xiongnu trample on the people.

At this time, Wei Ling led the Zhongzhou Army to stand up and led an army of 150,000 to Yancheng, Jizhou, promising Zhu Qi to defend the city to the death.

It seems that there are 150,000 vs. 200,000, but the Xirong Huns are good at cavalry, but Wei Ling only leads 15,000 cavalry, which is a huge disparity in strength.

Wei Ling acted with determination to die.

Because of his actions, Ye's army was greatly encouraged, and he defeated King Li with all his strength.

When they transferred to Jizhou and rushed to help Wei Ling, they discovered that they were a step too late.

They rushed to drive the Xirong and the Xiongnu out of Jizhou, but they only had time to collect the corpses of Wei Ling and the Zhongzhou army.

Everyone knows that it was the sacrifice of Wei Ling's Zhongzhou Army that brought about Zhu Qi's new dynasty.

But this time, King Li took the initiative and suppressed Zhu Qi, who was not powerful enough, in Jeju.

The Ye army's idea was to go up through Jeju. From scratch, the entire 200,000-strong army that had fought many battles was here, but they were stuck at Liangshui Pass.

No matter which step we take, the people on one side of Jeju will suffer...

Zhu Qi was once again in a dilemma.

At this time, even if they were married to Yin Yue and had the support of 50,000 Jeju city guards, they combined could not withstand the 300,000 troops of King Li, the 400,000 troops of the Changzhou Han family's 50,000 sailors and 50,000 city guards.

The difference is a full 150,000, and the only possibility is that the 150,000 troops who have not yet reached an agreement with Zhongzhou can come to the rescue.

Wei Ling entered the palace, and there was no news all day and night.

Recently, Prince Zhen has become old and sick frequently, so his son, Zhao Xin, comes out to take a walk.

Father Xu also went to the palace to investigate.

Chu Xujun came to Qingyi's house and was still drinking tea with Tao Wuming.

She is waiting.

But actually she didn't know what she was waiting for.

At this time, a familiar young man limped back, covered in rags and dirt: "Female master, Ah He is back. Woo hoo hoo..."

"You need someone to support him. Don't cry in a hurry. Take a deep breath and speak clearly." Chu Xujun stood up and said calmly.

The boy did as he was told. He couldn't kneel down or sit down. After taking a deep breath, he found his own words: "The third and fourth young masters were taken away..."

"Where?"

"At the junction of Yuanshui and Huanshui. Not only them, there are also many people going from Zhongzhou to Jeju, especially the nobles who are riding horses and cars. There is not even a boat, and they are all captured by the sailors. Fourth Young Master

Bury me and ask me to come back to report the news, wuwu... I'm late when I come back, young lady, please go and save them."

Two guys who go out and jump over the tower to deliver food directly.

Chu Xujun asked someone to carry the boy down: "Let Mr. Bai come over and treat him well. Tell me if you think of anything else."

The room was silent.

This is very bad news.

At this time, another person came outside the door.

It was Li Kai, the bodyguard next to Wei Ling. He was always straightforward: "Madam, the general asked me to tell you that the witness that Butler Lin had planted earlier showed up today."

finally.
