Qu Zhen held her waist knife in her hand and looked coldly at the two generals in front of her who were holding their necks.

Just because he is Cui Ang's confidant, can he ignore himself?

They were just two commanders. How dare they refute themselves in front of so many generals?

Looking at Liu Zheng's expression, he looked like he was trying his best not to laugh.

He laughed at himself in his mind.

The fire in my heart was rising one by one, and I couldn't help but think of Yelumin's words.

Why can't I be the king?

This thought circled over and over in his mind.

With a choking sound, he pulled out his knife and stared at the two commanders.

"I ask you again, can Fancheng be captured before the sun sets?"

"No!" the two generals said in unison.

As Cui Ang's trusted general, they didn't believe that Qu Zhen would dare to do anything to them.

But this time, they made a big mistake.

At this moment, even the generals on the side were aware of Qu Zhen's murderous intent. Liu Zheng, who was suppressing a smile, was also looking at Qu Zhen with some curiosity, as if he realized that he had misjudged some people.

The next moment, the cold light flashed,

The knife in Qu Zhen's hand drew a shining curve, passing over the necks of the two commanders. The two heads flew up immediately, and blood spurted out like water. Qu Zhen did not dodge, but unexpectedly

Just let the two holes of blood splash on his body.

Deathly silence.

Even Liu Zheng also narrowed his eyes.

Everyone thought that Qu Zhen might kill someone by marching today, but what they didn't expect was that Qu Zhen actually killed someone with her own hands.

Qu Zhen, who looked like a bloody man, held a bloody knife and glanced at the faces of the generals with squinting eyes. Everyone present, except Liu Zheng and a supervisor sent by Yelu Min, all the others hung their heads.

head.

Qu Zhenhan called the names of the two people, and the two officers hurriedly stepped out of the queue, their voices trembling when they responded.

Still the same problem.

"Can we capture Fancheng before sunset?"

"Yes!" This time, the two officers did not hesitate at all.

"Very good, time is precious. You can go on the attack now. Give me whatever weapons you want, support you want, how much silver bounty you want, how much silver bounty you want. I only want one result, and that is before sunset. I

Stand on Fancheng!" Qu Zhen shouted.

The two officers hurried away.

Qu Zhen put on a smile again and looked at Liu Zheng.

But his face, which was spattered with blood, looked particularly ferocious when he smiled.

"Liu Zhi sent an envoy, and the commander-in-chief gave me a death order, but I had no choice. I think that Lu Wenhuan would not just watch Fancheng fall. He would probably find a way to rescue Fan Wenshun. Above the river,

I’m afraid we’ll have to trouble the Zhizhi envoys to isolate them. Of course, it would be better if the Zhizhe envoys are willing to launch an attack on Xiangyang City at the same time.”

Liu Zheng laughed and said: "Don't worry, General Qu. I guarantee that not a single soldier in Xiangyang City will cross the river to support Fan City. As for attacking, it is not impossible. We can also take action from Xiangyang Water Gate.

.”

"If so, thank you very much!" Qu Zhen said with cupped hands.

"Farewell!" Liu Zheng stood up, returned the courtesy, and strode away.

On the river surface, many warships under Liu Zheng's command were traveling to and from the war. From time to time, some slightly larger warships would approach Xiangyang City, and the ballistas mounted on the ships would roar and fire at the city.

On top of the city, powerful crossbows and stone cannons also immediately fired back.

However, compared to these flexible warships, the counterattack above the city was far from accurate. Apart from causing waves one after another in the water, the damage caused was very limited.

Such harassment attacks are extremely disgusting to the defenders.

Although you know that he has little use, you still have to be careful all the time, because you don't know when he will become real. Once you let them find a loophole and suddenly use their strength, they are likely to fall into passivity.

.

"Dad, I just discovered today that Qu Zhen is not as cowardly and incompetent as the rumors say!" Liu Qing's mind was still spinning the scene where Qu Zhen had just swung a knife to kill someone.

Humph! Liu Zheng sneered twice. How can a truly cowardly and incompetent person sit in the position he is in today?

"No matter who you are dealing with, never make a conclusion based on the rumors you heard or the first impression, because sometimes such conclusions are very likely to be completely different, and once the judgment is wrong, it will cause irreversible losses."

Liu Zhengdao.

"Yes, my son remembers it. But Qu Zhen's attack today may have opened a deep rift between him and Cui Ang. If Qu Zhen is not at odds with Cui Ang, we will have more opportunities!" Liu Shu was a little confused.

Happy. "It's just that my son can't understand why Qu Zhen dared to fall out with Cui Ang?"

"Why? There is a high probability that he has joined Qin Min." Liu Zheng said: "Is there any secret about the grievances between Qin Min and Cui Ang? Qu Zhen is putting herself on the gambling table."

Liu Qing suddenly understood: "If the Queen wins the next battle, will Qu Zhen take the throne? Dad, then we should make a good friend with this person."

Liu Zheng said calmly: "It doesn't matter if we make friends, but there is no need to curry favor. The foundation of our existence is the hundreds of warships and tens of thousands of naval soldiers in our hands. Ships in the south and horses in the north, and cavalry in the Liao Dynasty

It's awesome, but on the water, it's just that. They want to capture Xiangyang, but they also want to control the thousands of miles of Han River, and then use this as a basis to train the navy to prepare for a large-scale attack on the south in the future."

"But I see that Yelumin is not very warm to you, dad!" Liu Xi was a little dissatisfied.

Liu Zheng laughed loudly: "You, is it possible that he respects me by greeting me with a smile? It's a joke, he even calls Qu Zhen brothers, does he respect Qu Zhen? In Yelumin's opinion, Qu Zhen, but

It is a knife that can help him avenge, and I am his future partner! At your age, you can understand these things in a short time, just watch and learn!"

"Yes!" Although he was a little unconvinced, Liu Shu still had to listen to what I said.

"Now that things have come to an end, I can tell you something!" Liu Zheng said: "If I had not defected to the Liao Kingdom, then Yelumin's attack on Xiangfan would have been a joke. But if I surrendered, they would have great confidence.

.Do you know why I surrendered to Liao?"

"Because the Song Dynasty has died. Although those people in the south are also heroes, they are leaderless and will not be able to achieve greatness after all!" Liu Shu said.

"This is just one of the reasons. Another reason is that the Empress of Daliao personally wrote a letter to me!" Liu Zheng said calmly.

Liu Xi was delighted: "Is it possible that the Queen has made you a king?"

"Shallow!" Liu Zheng glanced at his son: "Cui Ang and the others are trying to get a prince. They are trying to gain fame. What's the use! The queen told me that if I vote, I will be the naval commander of Daliao in the future.

, all the navies in the world are trained and commanded by me. This is the real thing."

"Then this time the Liao Kingdom is fighting internally, can the Empress win?"

"I don't know, but the tone in her letter seems to be very confident."

"Although I don't like a woman in power bossing me around, but after hearing what you said, I really hope that he wins!" Liu Dai said with a smile. "You are right, compared to a man who is not a king but a king.

, If you can take command of the entire Daliao Navy, that would be truly majestic!"

As they were talking, the sound of rapid horse hooves was heard in their ears. The two looked up and saw several cavalry galloping on the shore not far away, waving to them while galloping.

"Get to the shore!" Liu Zheng ordered.

The people galloping on the shore are not ordinary people, but Yelumin's Shan army.

Something happened!

"General Liu, the commander-in-chief has received an urgent report. The enemy's reinforcements are approaching by land and water. About five thousand land troops have arrived at Lushan Gate. There are more than a hundred naval warships that have arrived at Chitanpu. The commander-in-chief has dispatched

General Sun Pu led his troops to Lushan Gate to intercept, and asked General Liu to lead the navy to intercept the enemy's navy. The enemy must not be able to reach Xiangfan even with a single soldier, otherwise the war will have another setback."

Liu Zheng was slightly stunned: "Where is the navy from? Doesn't Jiang Zhihe from Jinghu Road have any idea? His broken boats are just collecting taxes and beating water bandits. Do you want to come and fight with me?"

"It's not the Jinghu Navy. According to reports, the Jinghu Navy was only responsible for transporting troops and horses this time. After the enemy's land division took a boat down the river to land, the Jinghu Navy had already turned back. Those who really came to Xiangyang to support the operation were

It’s the army on the Guizhou Road and the Wujiang Navy.”

"Wujiang Navy?" Liu Zheng blinked, and it took him a long time to react.

"It's Xiao Erlang Xiao Cheng!"

"I heard the commander-in-chief said the same thing!" The messenger nodded.

Fancheng is already in danger.

Qu Zhen killed two generals with one sword, and for the generals under his command, the deterrent effect was extremely obvious.

No matter whose confidants they are, Qu Zhen's world belongs to Qu Zhen on the front line now, and he obviously has the support of Ye Lumin. To go against him at this time is to seek death.

So when the attack was launched again, the intensity immediately jumped to a higher level than before. With the furious attacks again and again, Fancheng's outer city fell first, and defender Fan Wenshun led the remaining troops.

They retreated to the inner city, fortified themselves layer by layer, and prepared for a street battle.

Lu Wenhuan's heart was as sharp as a knife. If this continued, Fan Wenshun would no longer be able to support him before nightfall.

But at this moment, Lu Wenhuan suddenly discovered something.

The enemy warships on the river, as if they had received some order, began to gather together, and then sailed toward the southeast one by one. As these warships left, the river suddenly became clear.
To be continued...
