At the entrance of the valley, a group of men and horses saw someone fleeing from the valley. The leader of the general spat and cursed: "Brothers, kill all these bastards. I have caused them to run so far. I will chop them all down today..."

Under the leadership of Tan Zhen, this group of normally majestic men from the Ministry of War were defeated three times in three battles. They would be embarrassed if they returned home. Now that they have encountered a defeated general, where can they find a way to survive? Each one of them is holding a knife and a gun, and all of them are fighting.

They rushed out from the slopes on both sides of the valley, cut off Xue Dounan's team in the middle, surrounded them and killed them.

Xue Dounan was frightened, and rushed out of the valley without caring about his brothers behind him. The officers and soldiers behind him were holding on to their horses, wishing they had wings on their ribs.

How could the men and horses of the Ministry of War be willing to give up? They chased away like maggots in the tarsal bones.

"Attack the city quickly and in one go..." Tan Zhen ordered.

The two lieutenants, Li Yunfei and Zhang Haocun, who were originally following Tan Zhen, realized after this battle that Tan Zhen had lured the enemy deep into the enemy's territory and was preparing for the attack step by step in order to lure the snake out of its hole and strike directly above seven inches. Now Tan Zhen has given the order not to

If they dare not listen, the remaining soldiers in the valley ignore them, each leading eight thousand men and horses out of the valley and heading towards Chuzhou City.

But it is said that Xue Dounan rushed towards Chuzhou City. When he came, there were 30,000 troops, but only 2,000 were left in the city. Now he brought out less than 3,000. Everyone was exhausted, and it was already extremely difficult to organize an attack again. The distance was so great

Chuzhou City was only a few miles away, but the sound of horse hooves behind them could be heard in the sky, and the smoke and dust billowing out that covered the sky. However, it was Li Yunfei and Zhang Haocun who led the soldiers and horses to rush over.

"General, abandon the city quickly and go to Luzhou. Marshal Shi is in Luzhou..." Pan Jun added.

"It's because I listened to you and other trash that we were defeated. When we get to Luzhou, General Shi has to kill us and others." Xue Dounan can neither advance nor retreat.

Pan Jun said: "General Shi didn't know about this battle. He made plans on the way. One hundred thousand troops turned around to attack the city. It is reasonable for us to be defeated. The general made a quick decision. If it were later, it would be too late..."

"Fuck, let's go to Luzhou..." Xue Dounan led the troops and horses towards Luzhou.

The defenders on the city gate saw Xue Dounan leading his troops and horses towards the southwest. Pan Jun was following him, but Han Ming's troops and horses were not seen. They still knew in their hearts that the overall situation had been decided. The flags behind them were waving, but it was Li and Zhang who were wearing clothes.

They were all dressed up as officers and soldiers of the Xia Dynasty, and defending Chuzhou was nothing more than hitting the stone with an egg and simply opening the city gate.

Li Yunfei and Zhang Haocun chased for another ten miles, then turned back and entered the city, waiting for Tan Zhen. Here they submitted a battle report, and they rushed six hundred miles to the Chinese army. However, Tan Zhen guarded Chuzhou, making Luzhou a difficult situation.

Beast fight.

However, when they arrived at Jinling City, the edict had not yet been conveyed, yet another scout presented the battle report, but it was the message from Si Xingfang.

Fang La had just sat down and threw the battle report down the hall: "Xue Dounan is a piece of trash. Chuzhou City was impregnable. It was destroyed in five days. It's trash, trash..."

Everyone in the court was shocked. Two cities were lost in one day. After this battle, Luzhou turned into an isolated city.

Lu Qinghou had just said the countermeasures, but other than such changes, he was also shocked. In anger, he hurriedly said: "Shenggong, please calm down.

With the military in mind, Luzhou cannot be lost again. I am willing to go to Luzhou and issue a military order, vowing to live and die with Luzhou."

"No, Holy Duke, if the military advisor goes to Luzhou, then Jinling..."

"That's right, military advisor, you must not act on impulse or mess up the rules..."

"It's okay to have Marshal Deng and other ministers here to make suggestions for the Holy Duke. But once Luzhou is lost, Jinling will bear the brunt. This is not okay..." Lu Qinghou knelt on the ground and said.

Deng Yuanjue frowned: "The words of the military advisor are serious. This is not the time to talk about these things. Holy Duke, I have a plan. I don't know whether to talk about it or not?"

Although Fang La was in a rage, everyone in the audience had already explained the matter very clearly. Now that there was a step, he naturally wanted to come down. He put his hands behind his back and said, "Let's talk."

Deng Yuanjue said: "Fang Jie, who is guarding Qinzhou, can be transferred back to assist in the defense of Jinling on the left, and Fangmao can go to Jiujiang to ensure the food and grass in the rear, prepare for a long-term battle, and send an imperial envoy to Luzhou to ensure that Luzhou is safe.

"

After Deng Yuanjue finished speaking, he returned to his position. After a long time, Fang La turned around and said, "The military advisor is stationed in Jinling to coordinate military affairs. Marshal Deng's opinion is very far-sighted. This is what we should do. This imperial envoy must have a certain level of authority."

Prestige is the key, I wonder who among you dear friends can take on this important responsibility?"

Except for Lu Qinghou, who was going to Luzhou just now, and Deng Yuanjue, who was making suggestions, no one in the hall responded. Behind the silence was everyone's attitude towards this battle.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to go." It was a woman's voice that spoke. Apart from Ning Buhui, who else is there in this court?

"Wei Chen believes that it is most appropriate for Master Ning to go." Zhang Jian, who was behind him, came out and cupped his hands and said: "Zhujian Villa is extremely powerful. There is no room for loss in this battle. On the other hand, there is only Master Ning in the court.

Only the Sword Forging Villa can shoulder this great responsibility."

Deng Yuanjue also nodded slightly, but Lu Qinghou closed his eyes tightly and remained silent.

Fang La frowned, but when he heard Ning Buhui said again: "I'm informing the Holy Duke to go to Luzhou. One is to go to support. I have 30,000 men at Zhujian Villa to garrison Qingyang. I can assist in the defense of Luzhou.

If you retreat, you can defend Fanyang Lake; secondly, I

Regarding the relationship with Ningshan Prefecture, as long as I go there, I will have a way to get them to transfer to Luzhou. In this way, the pressure on Jinling can be reduced. Shenggong can plan from it, and it is not impossible to come out from the southwest to attack the enemy.

Break it."

Fang La thought for a long time and finally nodded: "In that case, only you can take on this important responsibility..."

"Wang Ren, I order you to be the deputy general and command 20,000 troops to assist Ning Buhui. Everything will be based on Ning Buhui's decision. A total of 50,000 troops will go to Qingyang." Fang La said again.

Wang Ren walked out of the queue and said yes, but there was a lot of reluctance in his heart.

"Thank you Shenggong..."

"Tomorrow we will set off for the expedition. All civil and military officials will follow me at the south gate to see off General Ning. This battle will be a complete victory." Fang La waved his dragon robe and without giving anyone time to refute, he headed towards the back hall.

And went.

Everyone shouted long live before they dispersed.

Lu Qinghou and Ning Buhui walked at the end, and the two of them, one old and one young, slowly walked out of the hall.

"You don't have to stand out. You and I both know that this business is full of dangers." Lu Qinghou was the first to speak. He had always treated Ning Buhui as his own child, otherwise he would not have met Ning Buhui when he first came to Jinling.

At that time, I tried my best to defy all opinions.

Ning Buhui smiled bitterly and said: "If I don't stand up, who can? Everyone knows that I am from Ningshan Mansion. This time, it is to prove to me and to the military advisor. If you don't succeed, you will be benevolent."

Lu Qinghou said: "In this world, sometimes you just have to look away. When I was a child, I was beaten to the head with a piece of meat. When I grew up, I realized that it was really ridiculous. You are still young, and you don't necessarily have to get some things.

Sometimes losing is also a kind of gain.”

Ning Buhui didn't understand what Lu Qinghou meant. Maybe he could only understand the meaning if he lived to this age.

"Buhui took note of it." Ning Buhui nodded.

"You are on good terms with the princess. I believe she should know about it by now. Let's say goodbye to her properly." Lu Qinghou sighed.
