The snow outside was still falling, and it was unknown when it would stop. The candlelight in the temple hall of Yangping County was swaying, and everyone had their own thoughts. Huang Chang fell into thinking, while Geng Yan looked at the fifth reunion and wanted to know how he would decide.

Seeing Geng Chun begging, Wu Lun said solemnly: "Borrowing troops? Is Boshan the following official or as a friend?"

What I mean is that if you are a lower-ranking official, it means doing business. If you are a friend, it should be a different matter.

Geng Chun raised his head: "This moment, I am a friend."

"good."

Wu Lun smiled and said to Geng Chun: "Zi Lu has a word, and he shares his carriage, horses, clothes, light furs and furs with his friends, and he has no regrets. Since the meeting with Chang'anlang Office, you and I have known each other for five years, Boshan has helped me a lot. You and I can share hardships and wealth. Now Boshan is in trouble, how can I sit back and see? Please take back the word "borrow" from Boshan!"

"Boyu." Seeing the fifth reunion agreeing, Geng Chun's heart fell to the ground. He did not read the fifth reunion wrongly and did not get on the wrong ship.

Wu Lun did not make excuses and delayed, and immediately asked: "How many soldiers do you need to break the siege of Dingtao?"

This statement made Geng Chun's gratitude choke in his throat.

Dong Xian’s army of the Liangshan Red Eyebrows is not the fifth floor of Hebei. Wu Banners can compare with the red eyebrows, which is the main force of the Red Eyebrows who defeated General Gengshi and the 100,000 royal division two months ago! Now Dong Xian calls himself a general, gathering 50,000 to 60,000 to rush to Jiping. How many people do you need to defeat this Red Eyebrow with high morale and strong combat power?

Even if Geng Chunsun, Wu, and Bai Qi possessed him, he would have to at least 10,000 to compete with Chimei, but he couldn't even make up the fifth reunion himself.

Then let's get a discount, five thousand? If so, the only main force of the fifth reunion is Zhu Tufeng, who insists that Wei Cheng do his best to sacrifice himself for others. Not to mention that the officials should not do this, as a friend, it is difficult to speak.

Xiao is Geng Chun who is smart and intelligent at first, but how to solve the difficulties of Ding Tao is also helpless.

Bluffing? The fox pretends to be a tiger's power? Dong Xian just exposes the imperial tiger's cloth, so how can he borrow the power? On the contrary, the counties in Qingyan are afraid of red eyebrows like tigers. Even if Geng Chun has the ability to pretend that the court's 100,000 troops are here, are you afraid of Dong Xian?

Seeing Geng Chun pondering, Huang Chang, who had always been good at thinking about the best, took the opportunity to say, "Lord, the lower officials think that Dingtao cannot be saved."

Geng Yan became angry when he heard this and scolded him: "You are just going to stop, do you understand military affairs?"

"I don't understand military affairs, but I understand the situation."

The dwarf stretched out his short hand and said the reason with a stern look: "Wei Cheng and Dingtao are more than 500 miles apart, and they are more than a month away. The distance water cannot save the nearby fire. This is one of them."

"Even if the Wei soldiers come out with all their might, in the twelfth month of winter, five hundred miles to seek profit, the soldiers will suffer severe losses, the crossbow cannot be opened, the armor and armor will be cold, and the combat power will be greatly reduced. How can we fight against the tens of thousands of red eyebrows who are waiting for labor? If you are not careful, you will lose your troops outside. This is the second thing."

"Also, although Chi Zhaoping's tribe of the Red Eyebrow of the Great River has withdrawn, it still lingers on the other side, wandering around Qingyan and Yanzhou, carrying green and strong everywhere. She also made people publicize that if the Yuancheng is destroyed and the imperial temple is burned, the river will return to its original position, and the people who are suffering from the disaster downstream believe it. Chi Zhaoping also joined forces with the other Red Eyebrows of the Taishan County, Chengtouzilu and others, and the troops are becoming increasingly powerful and their forces are no less than Dong Xian. The only thing that can stop her is the surging river water, but as cold as today, the river may be frozen at any time!"

"The strong enemy is on the side, how can I have the strength to save Dingtao? This is the third one!"

Huang Changchang bowed: "Therefore, the officials in the lower office thought that this matter was to use Mount Tai to surpass the North Sea, which was impossible!"

Huang Chang performed extraordinaryly today, and every sentence was reasonable, and even Geng Chun had nothing to say. This was also the reason why he had previously advised Di Ren to ignore his neighbor Qinghe County for help.

But once it is related to your blood relatives, you will never be able to be calm and reasonable. People are influenced by emotions. Even if you know that they cannot do it, you must do it!

Geng Yan also got up and said, "Da Yin, the uncle of Cheng was back with two thousand defeated soldiers and strengthened the Wei territory. Now that Geng is in trouble, why not give us two thousand soldiers?"

This is why the young man couldn't speak anymore. Geng Chun then stopped Geng Yan and bowed to the fifth reunion: "I also know that the strong enemy in Wei is around me, so I only asked Bo Yu to give me two thousand militiamen. This vacancy will be made up by my disciples."

The Geng family of Julu is a large family of Songzi. They only have guests, but they can get two thousand. Geng Chun will immediately send someone to ask his younger brother Geng Zhi and Geng Su to take them all to the south. This is to tear down the north wall and repair the south wall.

Wu Lun was worried that Geng Chun wanted to die with his father, but seeing that he didn't look like him, he asked him what he had.

Geng Chun stated his plan: "I don't expect to defeat the red eyebrows by one or ten. I just want to go to the vicinity of Dingtao to see if I have the chance to pick up my father and return to Hebei."

"The reason why I wish to get militia rather than Gengshi's army is that, they had just been defeated by Chimei, because they were afraid that they would be enemies with Dong Xian and fled as soon as they crossed the river."

"If I were to take militia disguised as Red Eyebrows and rushed to Dingtao, the branches of Red Eyebrows are not subordinate to each other and have no banners, who knows who I am? When I arrived at Dingtao City, there might be a chance to rescue my father."

Geng Chun said at the end: "As for the earth-ding Tao... if you abandon the land, you will abandon the land. It would be better if you don't do the 2,000 stones from the court!"

This made the fifth reunion feel much more at ease. It seemed that Geng Chun was not confused. This strategy was feasible, but he still shook his head and said, "Two thousand young people!"

"Bozhao." Di Wulun looked at Xiao Geng, who was a little dissatisfied and contemptuous of his failure to make decisions for a long time: "Take a cavalry and cross the river with Boshan to the south. If you can rescue Mr. Geng, you can get out of danger at any time!"

"promise!"

Geng Yan was immediately happy, his attitude changed drastically, and he hurried out of the city with Geng Chun to mobilize troops. Geng Chun was even more moved and only bowed his head to the fifth reunion.

After the two left, Huang Chang was worried and followed the fifth reunion and said, "Lord, think twice."

"Two thousand militias, plus almost all cavalry, will be the weakest time in Wei territory in the next month."

How can I not know the fifth relationship? Even though Geng Chun promised that his private soldiers would all go south to help, the power would still be greatly damaged in the short term.

But if you want to achieve great things in Hebei, the Geng family is indispensable. Both Big Geng and Xiao Geng are rare talents for generals and ministers.

He had no high-ranking family, and was even burdened by the character of this "Da Xin loyal minister", and did not even have a good name to attract talent. He could promise wealth to a poor family like Huang Chang, but he could only rely on hardships to show true love for Geng's uncle and nephew who had nothing to lack.

Don't ask them what they can do for you.

First ask what you can do for them.

If you want to take it, you must give it first.

However, after Geng Yan left the city, he only said to Cong Shu: "I used to look down on the fifth man. I felt that even if he acted like a polite and a genius, he had too many thoughts and no aura of a hero."

"But now the fifth man ignored his safety and helped him with all his might, but I admire him a little."

"No," Geng Chun looked back and looked at the fifth reunion who was far away from the city wall, and was grateful: "Boyu can share wealth and happiness with my family, and can also share hardships! But Geng also owe this great favor."

He returned to his old style and smiled, "It seems that I, Geng Chun, really have to hand it over to Boyu for the rest of my life, and I will use this seven-foot body to pay for it!"

...

At the beginning of the twelfth lunar month of the fourth year of Dihuang, Yan You woke up from his sickbed again in Wancheng, Nanyang. He felt cold all over his body. Dou Rong hurriedly came over with hot medicine.

"Mr. Yan."

Speaking of last month's Battle of Little Chang'an, although Dou Rong took the lead in the thick fog and defeated Green Forest, the one who finally decided to take the game was Yan You, who went north with light equipment, stabbed the Han soldiers to the rear and defeated him.

However, Yan You's illness was not cured in autumn, and he forced his troops to march in the late winter. The soldiers were tired, and the old general almost gave his life. After the battle, he was lifted off the drum cart. He never left his sleeping bed or medicine again. After seeing this, the doctors in Wancheng shook their heads and said that it was not easy for Yan You to survive until now. If he could survive the winter, he might still survive, but he would never be able to fight with his troops.

Yan You didn't drink medicine. After waking up, he asked anxiously: "Duke Zhou, what's going on in the war?"

Dou Rong sighed: "Lu Lin and Han soldiers have retreated to the south of the Tang River. Although thousands of people have been killed and injured, Liu Bosheng's brothers and the Lu Lin Zhuqus have not been captured."

Yan You couldn't understand: "It was a big collapse, why did he let those people escape successfully?"

Dou Rong complained: "Zhen Dayin did not follow me to pursue the main force of the Han army. He had many soldiers, but he focused on 'recovering lost land' and was concerned about the gains and losses of a city and a pool. He also indulged the soldiers and slaughtered the Xinye, Jiyang Haoyou, who was affiliated with the Liu family in Chongling, dirtying the Deng family's house, capturing the Yin family's family, and liquidating the powerful who had provided food and fodder to Liu Bosheng."

Dou Rong was actually unwilling to pursue and fight hard. He faced the Han soldiers and Lulin who fought alone in the trapped beasts. The two of them lost the opportunity to destroy Lulin in one fell swoop.

In addition, the people in Xinye and other places were also plundered and retaliated by the officers and soldiers, but now they forced all the people who were originally waiting and watching to the opposite side. Although the Han soldiers and Lulin were defeated, after the defeat, there were more people who voted for them. Now they have gained a foothold south of Tanghe and confronted the officers and soldiers.

The biggest problem for the government army is now, so Dou Rong hopes that Yan You will improve soon.

But don't say that Yan You is sick now, even if he is not sick, he is helpless. His Majesty the Emperor likes to check and balance power, and Zhen Fu has formed a self-contained line and is not under his command. In addition, Yan You and Dou Rong's soldiers were swept by malaria, and there were many losses to go north. Now there are not a few thousand left. Instead, there are not many county soldiers recruited by Zhen Fu again. The food and armored soldiers rely on the provisions of the former county.

He is the master and he is a guest. Dou Rong must be polite and discuss everything with Zhen Fu, but this person is stubborn and difficult to work with.

Then Dou Rong visited Yan You and learned that Zhen Fu was making a fuss again: he was going to send all 64 men, women, young and old Li family arrested after capturing the Li family fort, along with hundreds of people arrested by Xinye Yin family who were arrested after submission to Chang'an!

Dou Rong was puzzled: "We have not won completely yet, why should we rush to send prisoners to the court?"

"Duke Zhou is so ignorant of Your Majesty." Zhen Fu had his own theory: "Duke Yan omitted the green forest and sent forward to the front team. The news that Liu Bosheng, the Chongling, called himself a general, reached Chang'an, and Your Majesty was quite furious!"

As powerful as the Red Eyebrow thief, although he defeated the king's army, he did not raise any slogans and flags. However, the Liu family in Chongling is different. He holds the flames of Han flag, and the slogan is to restore the Han Dynasty!

The Eastern thieves are just bandits, but the Southern thieves are clear-cut and want to overthrow the new house!

Wang Mang then issued an edict saying: "Therefore, Liu Bosheng, the son of the Hou of Chongling, Han, married his clan and his clan, rebelled against his clan. If anyone could capture this person, he would be named a son, with a fief of thousands of households, and a treasure of five million!

Although Liu Bosheng was mentioned for free and made a wave of publicity, it also shows how much Wang Mang valued the war here.

As a family of heroes who helped Wang Mang get to power, Zhen Fu really knew the emperor very well: "Your Majesty is eager to govern and likes things to be done quickly. It is because he has not yet won a complete victory that he should immediately send Liu Bosheng's marriage and party members to Chang'an so that the emperor can know that we have already won a great victory and success is imminent!"

Let the emperor feel that everything is under control, so as to avoid Wang Mang's worries and fears, and then change the generals at the last minute.

This made sense, and Dou Rong had no reason to dissuade him, so he could only look at hundreds of Li clans, Yin clans and captured Chongling children on the road in the wind and snow.

The head of the Yin family sighed deeply that the rebellious son Yin Shi insisted on following Liu Bosheng to cause trouble for the whole family, and he also married Liu. Now the wealth and wealth savings of several generations have been exhausted in one go. I only hope that in the face of his own voluntary surrender, he will be able to be forgiven when he is in Chang'an. Even if the whole family becomes a slave, he will not have to suffer the disaster of the clan's destruction.

Dou Rong shook his head: "If I had known today, why would I have been rebelling?"

Although he was also observing the situation in the world, Duke Zhou of Dou was definitely not a man of the first place.

The rich and prosperous family, the leisurely women, have now become prisoners. The man is tired of walking with ropes and complains, while the woman is still sitting on a firewood cart and has to rest, but she is not wrapped in thick fur, and is trembling with cold.

It's a pity that the Yin family was Lihua, who was only eighteen years old. In the past, she just opened the phoenix mirror and combed her hair lazily, and was lazy and silent. Last month, she was hired by Liu Xiu's good media, but she encountered the troubled war in this troubled era. The Han soldiers were defeated and the whole family was captured.

After the old father surrendered, the whole family was fortunately under the sword and saw, as the spoils to be presented to the Shoucheng Room, they were not humiliated, but they were still in danger.

I could only force my eyebrows to spread, mess up my cicada's hair and ride on the bike. When I looked back, my eyes were full of confusion and fear.

Ren Guang, who came north with Yan You, stood aside, and suddenly pointed to the captive team heading north and said to Dou Rong: "Liu Bosheng's brother, Uncle Liu Wen's fiancée, Yin, is also among them."

"Uncle Liu Wen?" Dou Rong thought about this person carefully. He had indeed been a minor official in Yan Youjun for several days, but later he committed a crime and ran away. Now it seems that he had known that his brother wanted to rebel, and the fifth reunion seemed to have some friendship with this person.

Dou Rong looked at Ren Guang: "What does Boqing mean?"

Ren Guang reminded Dou Rong: "Do we want to do something good and keep a kindness?"

Do you think the future victory or defeat is difficult to predict? Indeed, although it is better than military affairs, the defeated Han soldiers and Green Forest still have a steady stream of people who have joined them. With the efforts of Zhen Fu and the Wang Army, those who were still watching found that they had no way to survive, but they didn't have to fight to the death.

Even if you can win once or twice, can you continue to win the government army with fewer battles?

Dou Rong shook his head: "Liu Bosheng's other brother Liu Zhong died at the hands of our army. In the battle of Xiao Chang'an, countless people died in Chongling's children. How could this grudge be eliminated by a woman?"

"Let her go!"

Dou Rong felt distressed: "She at least knew that she was going to be relieved. But I, originally wanted to go to Hexi to take refuge, but was confused and forced to become a loyal minister of the court. I wanted to get off the boat but couldn't. I really didn't know what to do, and where would I die in the future!"

"In this world, no one can protect himself!"
