Chapter 56

On June 22, the rain was even heavier.

Many mountain torrents and mudslides broke out in the territory of Guangdong and Guangxi.

This is the 23rd day after Guangzhou was surrounded. There are serious casualties and no response from the documents asking for help from the surrounding areas.

There is news that even though he had received an order to assist in defense of Guangzhou, the governor of Yingzhou Su Jian and the governor of Guangdong Cavalry and Infantry Zhang Zhong were in the process of repair after Yu Qingyuan met and had no intention of entering Guangzhou.

The troops in Guangdong and Guangxi were already useless. To put it bluntly, Su Jian and Zhang Zhong had only 4,000 gangs. They did not flee at this time of disaster. They were relatively conscientious in the Qingyuan generation. At least due to the ambiguity of location and distance, the troops of Nong Zhigao, who had been surrounded by Guangzhou for a long time but were unable to break.

"Two bastards, Zhao Ping'an and Lu Shijie! They can really watch these countless parents and children be ravaged by the war!"

In the heavy rain, the new Guangzhou magistrate Wei Guan, who was appointed in danger, started crying directly on the top of the city wall, but the tears were mixed by the heavy rain.

As more and more soldiers and civilians die in offensive and defensive battles, their morale, bows and arrows, and food supplies are getting smaller and smaller.

It is said that Su Jian and Zhang Zhong's 4,000 troops were watching in Qingyuan. In addition to being cowardly, some people also said that it was because of the fact that the Minister of War Fang Cheng, Zhao Ping'an, suggested that they should not come to die.

What if Su Jian and Zhang Zhong come at this time, they will have no substantial effect except to defeat the war and form a larger group of deserters to hurt the fugitive people and affect the morale of Guangzhou?

As for now, there is no way to do anything except waiting for Di Qing's army.

But some people have told me that even if Di Qing marched quickly and could enter Guangdong in July, he would only detour. The real decisive battle will be at least winter, or even next year!

"How long can Guangzhou last?"

Wei Guan grabbed the collar of the Guangzhou governor and questioned.

“At most, one month!”

This is also an optimistic estimate. Because of the Kangzhou battle, Zhao Shidan awakened the fighting spirit of many Song people, and Nong Zhigao's actions became increasingly unpopular.

"well!"

Wei Guan, the magistrate, stamped his feet and said, "Zhao Ping'an is now leading the most elite troops in Guangdong and Guangxi, but he has not fought a decisive battle with Nong Zhizhong, who is only 3,000 people, and has not entered Guangzhou. What is the reason?"

Guangzhou governor Peng Yuye smiled smirked: "What else can it be? Once you defeat Nong Zhizhong's troops, he will face Nong Zhigao's main force, and there will be no excuse to delay. It should have been intentional."

...

The Guangnan Camp is now very large, only thirty miles away from Liuzhou. After stationing, its camp continued for several miles.

Even the Southern Army, which was full of momentum, was frightened by this situation. From Liuzhou, people kept sending people to Guangzhou's Nongzhigao's troops to send letters to ask for help: praying to send reinforcements to kill this increasingly inflated army!

As for Nong Zhizhong's tribe, it was once again left far behind.

People in Guangnan camp thought that Zhao Ping'an had become a habit of escaping, but they didn't expect that they would suddenly make a decisive battle and deployment thirty miles outside Liuzhou.

"Is the decisive battle going to happen?"

The conditions are still very hard now, and the tent is far from enough. In the heavy rain in the open air, a little girl shrank in her mother's arms and asked tremblingly.

She was still young and didn't even understand what war was. She just seemed to have heard people say "the decisive battle is coming". Once she won, she could rebuild her home in Liuzhou without having to escape in a wandering way.

"The decisive battle is coming!"

Whether women, children, or the elderly, they are talking about it, as if they have been looking forward to it for a long time.

At first, the news of the blockade was not even mentioned, but now everyone is talking about it. Compared with the Nong Zhizhong army that was unwilling to look up to at the time, the Guangnan camp has really formed an absolute advantageous force.

The elite troops of the warhead alone reached 7,000, so the decisive battle was about to happen...

The big tent of the business.

Lu Shijie carried a cup of hot water to warm his hands, took a sip, and stared at the fire again.

The Fan brothers, who were soaked all over, walked in and reported together: "My husband, everything is normal in the camp, and everyone is very motivated."

Fan Er suddenly said in tears: "We're finally here, are we going to have a decisive battle?"

"The decisive battle is coming."

Lu Shijie nodded slightly at the fire.

Fan Da asked: "I wonder if it will be difficult to fight in Liuzhou? What will the Nong Zhizhong tribe who is pursuing behind the scenes?"

Lu Shijie shook his head indifferently: "It is not difficult to fight in Liuzhou. As for the Nong Zhizhong tribe, the endless roundabout spirit has been lost. After seven battles and seven defeats, his people were unable to stand up to the marching and ran away. Now there are only two thousand people, which is no longer a scallion in our eyes. And he is used to us to escape. Seeing that we suddenly camp here, we will hesitate. Zhao Ping'an said that he would never dare to move. Once he dares to move, it means he is anxious, so he will eat him."

The Fan brothers couldn't help but look at each other, and it sounded like something was wrong.

Fan Er asked: "I don't see you, where did he go at this decisive battle?"

Lu Shijie said: "He has left long ago."

This scared Fan Dafan Er to the point of jumping up, "This decisive battle is imminent, how can you lose Zhao Gong? Can you fight without him?"

Lu Shijie looked strange, "Who said we were going to fight?"

The Fan brothers looked at each other and exclaimed: "Can they..."

But I didn't dare to continue talking, for fear of leaking the secret.

Lu Shijie said: "It's no secret until now, it's a decisive battle! Zhao Ping'an had already brought fourteen elite camps to Guangzhou as early as 19 days ago."

"Guangzhou!"

The Fan brothers exclaimed in surprise.

Lu Shijie smiled bitterly: "I was scared by him at that time, but there was no way, this is Zhao Ping'an."

"When you think he is steady, he is cautious, he thinks he can only run, he said that the time has finally come to a ripe place for so long. Everyone is used to the Guangnan camp that dares not fight Nong Zhizhong now. His 3,500 elite troops have formed a surprise attack, and the odds of surprise attacks on Guangzhou are rising infinitely."

"Including this official, I thought he didn't even dare to fight Nong Zhizhong. In fact, we were all wrong. He was called long-term. He looked down on eating Nong Zhizhong's profit. What he wanted was the expectation difference, which was large enough and crazy enough!"

Hearing this, the Fan brothers felt relieved and laughed: "Okay, we brothers don't understand either, but it sounds like gambling. Anyway, when Mr. Zhao is placing bets, just follow me."

Say that.

In fact, Lu Shijie was the one who was most worried about. After all, it was Guangzhou, and it was the main force of Nong Zhigao. Once there was a mistake, the rest of them became stupid.

On the contrary, in the years of escaping, suffering is a bit of pain. Lu Shijie was full of confidence from beginning to end, knowing that scholars could always run away.

There is also joy in suffering. During the war, many orphans and children were collected and taught to read. If they were naughty, they would hang up and beat them, and those who were good were praised as beans. This was quite interesting.

But now looking at the heavy rain and lightning in the world, Lu Shijie was full of worries, and I wonder what the dog-headed military advisor was like...

"I heard that Mr. Zhao is nervously deploying the battle in Liuzhou. Once we win, we don't have to be displaced. Many people will have a home again."

The entire camp was full of conversations, and the children were happy to ask questions, and the adults answered with only a few knowledge.

Overall, people were full of confidence, and they had been looking forward to this decisive battle for too long.

"Is the decisive battle going to happen?"

"The decisive battle is coming!"
