Chen Kuan led 10,000 soldiers and horses and led Xiang Xiaoyu to rescue Suizhou. Murong Ling also took Meng Wuwu, the grain and grass officer, and 10,000 horses to go south to Wuchang.

Before the four people left the city, they gathered in the suburbs for a while. Chen Kuan looked at the three of them and sighed: "Everyone, today's emperor is no longer the King of Han in the past. I hope you will be careful in your words and deeds in the future to avoid disaster.

!”

"Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. Anyone who becomes an emperor will do this. This is the emperor!" Murong Ling smiled lightly, feeling relieved.

"Otherwise, King Han is originally a kind-hearted man. Since he made friends with the people in the academy, he has learned some imperial power skills. Now I will not go there unless called upon to do so, so as not to be recorded as a crime, which will cause disaster in the future.

And the whole family!" Xiang Xiaoyu pointed out the problem directly.

"Why are you thinking so much? The world has not yet been decided. It is just a small court. No matter how stupid the emperor is, he will not do the trick of killing birds, hiding cunning rabbits and killing lackeys at this time." Meng Crow thought very openly, and planned

Mouth is happy.

"You don't have a long memory. Just because you don't have it now doesn't mean you won't have it in the future. By the way, I don't know what kind of errands Li Xiaofei has been assigned these days. If you meet him, remind him!" Chen Kuan hated Meng Wuwu.

Iron cannot be transformed into steel, so he gave everyone another instruction.

"Stupid people have stupid blessings, don't worry about them." Meng Wuwu answered so quickly that Murong Ling didn't have time to answer.

Murong Ling coughed: "Let's go, we say goodbye today, I don't know when we will meet again! Take care, both of you!"

Murong Ling and Meng Wuwu bowed to Chen Kuan and Xiaoyu, and Chen Kuan returned the bow to Xiaoyu: "Take care, and hope to see you in peace in the future!"

The two armies here went east and south respectively. He Wuji from Zhu Yaoshi's side surrounded Suizhou, digging soil and ditches every day, and sending troops everywhere to collect grain. In the end, it became a grain grab, and countless people were forced to flee.

On Wang Tiezhu's side, he attacked Chenzhou for dozens of days but failed to capture it. After all the soldiers had gold and silver, they refused to attack the city desperately, so they had to temporarily retreat to Tanzhou and garrison there.

The envoys sent by He Wuji to Wang Tiezhu's army collected Wang Tiezhu's gold and silver and ate wine and meat, but they failed to complete their mission. They were worried that they would be punished if they returned to He Wuji's army, so they simply went eastward along the river to Jinling.

When several people gathered together on the road, it was better to report to Zhu Yaoshi that the two marshals were at odds and that Wang Tiezhu had the intention to become the king himself. The gold and silver he brought would be the evidence. In this way, Zhu Yaoshi would be rewarded and would be exempted from punishment.

Several people reported to Pharmacist Zhu that He Wuji was trapped in Suizhou, and that Wang Tiezhu supported his troops and won people's hearts with his own dignity. Zhu Pharmacist refused to believe it at first, so several people took out the gold and silver from their bags: "Your Majesty, Wang Tiezhu forced me to give him gold and silver."

We, we really didn’t dare to accept it, but we were afraid of being silenced by him, so we had to collect the gold and silver and come back to beg His Majesty to die!”

When Pharmacist Zhu saw the gold and silver all over the ground, he became suspicious: "Did you know that falsely accusing Marshal You is a capital crime! Apart from gold and silver, what other evidence is there?"

Several people had already gathered together on the road, and then replied: "I am not afraid of death, but I am afraid of dying in vain. Marshal Wang has long made peace with Liang Jun privately, and wants to occupy the south of the Yangtze River and establish himself as king. The emperor can give him an order within one month.

If he captures Chenzhou, Wuchang and other places, he will most likely pretend to be defeated."

Pharmacist Zhu paused for a while: "You guys go down, you can enjoy the gold and silver, I have my own sense of discretion!"

Several people took the gold and silver and went back. Zhu Yaoshi summoned his soldiers: "Go and send an order to Wang Tiezhu, ordering him to capture Chenzhou Wuchang within one month. If he cannot capture it, I will personally conquer it! Then send someone to urge Prime Minister Qiu

Go ahead and order him to recruit 200,000 troops and move to Hebei to garrison within half a month!"

actually

The lies of these people could not have deceived Zhu Yaoshi in the past. However, there was an incident in the north and the recruitment of troops in Huaibei was still ineffective. Zhu Yaoshi was so upset that he did not think deeply about the reason.

Qiu Xingzhi was also in a hurry, and many of the conscripted soldiers fled. It was not that Qiu Xingzhi was harsh and cruel, but that the place Zhu Yaoshi had conquered before, in order to win people's hearts, divided the land between the rich and the poor, so that everyone had money and land.

None of them were willing to serve as soldiers. In addition, they missed the farming season, so most of them took their money and fled west or north. It took Qiu Xingzhi a month to gather less than 30,000 old and weak soldiers.

Zhu Yaoshi's order reached Tanzhou. After hearing this, Wang Tiezhu felt it was difficult, but he had to obey, so he knelt down to receive the edict, ordered his troops and horses, and headed north to attack Wuchang.

They advised Wang Tiezhu: "The emperor must be suspicious of the marshal by issuing such an edict. The marshal should make plans early, otherwise he will definitely be punished in the future."

"The marshal has been making great progress all the way. Now that the emperor is issuing an edict to blame, someone must be slandering him."

"Marshal, in ancient times, for all the famous generals who have made great achievements, in the end, the emperor will not reward them, they can only kill them. You have to be careful."

Wang Tiezhu was so irritated by the crowd's persuasion that he wanted to beat these people to death, but they were all relatives from the same village who followed him, so he scolded him: "I have followed the emperor for many years, and the emperor always treats his ministers with clear rewards and punishments.

The emperor will never kill heroes, so shut up! If you continue to talk nonsense like this, don't blame me, the king, for being unkind!"

They sighed and retreated, leaving Wang Tiezhu to continue arranging the march and formation.

When Wang Tiezhu's army arrived at Wuchang City, Murong Ling was already waiting at the city gate with a thousand ghost sheep cavalry.

When Wang Tiezhu saw Murong Ling's handsome features, he thought he was a young master from an aristocratic family. He raised his hammer and shouted with a smile: "Young master from which family are you? Don't you know my reputation as Wang Tiezhu! I think you are young and I can't bear to kill you. Please get off your horse quickly."

Surrender, lest my hammers spill blood!"

Murong Ling did not answer, but drew out his long sword and stood it upright. Meng Wuwu shouted from the top of the city: "Wang Tiezhu, your reputation is too great, so God sent the living King of Hell to collect you today. If you are willing to dismount and surrender, I will let him

I’ll cut you less!”

Wang Tiezhu pointed at Meng Crow: "You fat man, don't be so arrogant, wait until I come to the city and pull out your tongue!"

Not to be outdone, Meng Wuwu said: "You ugly monster, don't be so arrogant, wait until the king of hell comes to catch you and crawl under my crotch three times!"

Wang Tiezhu stopped answering and ran towards Murong Ling with his hammers straightened. The armored cavalry around him also pressed forward like a city wall.

Murong Ling brandished his sword and rushed straight towards Wang Tiezhu. Many of the ghost sheep cavalry around him scattered to both sides. Seeing this, Wang Tiezhu's armored cavalry also separated from the two wings to chase Liang Jun's cavalry.

Wang Tiezhu knew that Murong Ling dared to use his sword to counterattack, so he was somewhat overweight, so he clenched his two hammers and prepared to strike with one blow, knocking Murong Ling's hammer to the ground.

Wang Tiezhu smashed a pair of iron hammers, blood spattered everywhere, and Murong Ling's horse's head was smashed to pieces. Murong Ling put the copper hammer on his toes and jumped up with his knife to chop it down diagonally. Wang Tiezhu turned to one side and took back the copper hammer in his hand with his left hand, just in time to hit Murong Ling.

long knife.

A crisp sound of impact was heard, and Murong Ling jumped over Wang Tiezhu's head and stabbed Wang Tiezhu in the back with a backhand knife. Wang Tiezhu bent down and blocked the bronze hammer in his right hand backwards, just in time to touch the tip of Murong Ling's knife.

Murong Ling retracted his knife and cut open Wang Tiezhu's horse from the back.

Wang Tiezhu had no choice but to abandon his horse and jump down to fight with Murong Ling.

One is extremely dexterous, flashing, turning, and jumping around with his killing moves, and the other is extremely powerful.

Be able to handle both offense and defense with ease.

Meng Crow at the top of the city looked worried for a while: "Murong, can you do it? If you can't beat me back, don't be crushed to death. I don't have the ability to collect your body!"

Murong Ling ignored it and continued to look for opportunities to kill Wang Tiezhu, but Wang Tiezhu used his double hammers as shields and blocked all of Murong Ling's moves.

However, Wang Tiezhu's armored cavalry did not make smooth progress. A group of scattered ghost sheep cavalry led Wang Tiezhu's left and right armored cavalry for dozens of miles. The armored cavalry horses were sweating and panting. Murong Ling's cavalry saw the armored cavalry stop and go.

He walked back, and then rushed from behind and fired arrows to harass. The ghost sheep cavalry who stayed beside Murong Ling used wooden prongs and big clubs to knock the armored cavalry off their horses. Although they did not kill a few people, some of them were knocked off their horses.

It was difficult for the armored cavalry to mount their horses again and they became heavy armored infantry.

These armored cavalry were unable to catch up, and they were constantly harassed when they tried to leave. Gradually, the horses began to lose their support, but after all, there were so many people and they had longbows that the Ghost Sheep Cavalry did not force themselves on them.

These ghost sheep cavalry who had diverted the enemy troops took a shortcut back to the battlefield and joined the cavalry around Murong Ling, gradually taking the initiative on the battlefield.

Fortunately, none of Wang Tiezhu's men were cowards. Seeing the battlefield begin to reverse, the dismounted soldiers rushed towards Murong Ling and stood in front of Wang Tiezhu: "Marshal, hurry up!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Wang Tiezhu took advantage of everyone to fight with Murong Ling, so he found a horse and led the remaining armored cavalry to attack the Ghost Sheep Cavalry with copper hammers.

The Ghost Yangqi were all strong men, but they were no match for Wang Tiezhu, so they were knocked off their horses one after another.

After Murong Ling killed a group of soldiers who were pestering him, he saw that the Ghost Sheep Cavalry had killed nearly a hundred people, so he shouted: "Retreat! Retreat quickly!"

After receiving Murong Ling's general order, Guiyangqi quickly left the battlefield and fled. Murong Ling grabbed a horse and went to pursue Wang Tiezhu, but nearly a thousand people had gathered around Wang Tiezhu, making it impossible to get close.

Seeing that the Ghost Sheep Cavalry had left the battlefield, Meng Crow ordered the defenders on the city to fire crossbows at Wang Tiezhu's army. Dozens of spears were shot out at once, pinning nearly a hundred armored cavalry to the ground.

At this time, Wang Tiezhu's military morale began to waver, so he ordered a retreat.

When Murong Ling saw Wang Tiezhu withdrawing his troops, he quickly gathered the ghost sheep and rode back to the city.

Seeing Murong Ling return to the city, Meng Crow hurriedly surrounded Murong Ling and looked at her carefully: "Murong, Murong, I never thought you would be here today. If I, Lao Meng, hadn't fired the crossbow in time to kill them, I'm afraid you wouldn't have been able to come back.

"

Murong Ling took a deep breath: "Thank you, I did meet my opponent today. This person is born with divine power and quick reflexes, and he can actually tie me!"

Meng Wuwu patted Murong Ling on the shoulder: "Don't be discouraged. The cavalry you led is not bad. Facing such monsters, it is rare to be able to disperse their army!"

Murong Ling looked at the remaining more than 700 ghost sheep riders: "Brothers, I underestimated the enemy, causing so many of you to die!"

The Guiyangqi were silent and did not respond, with tears on their faces. After all, since their formation, they have always beaten others very badly, but today they were beaten to death by one person. Hundreds of people were beaten to death. They were both angry and scared. After all,

If you want to take revenge, you can only think about it. Even masters like Murong Ling can't get the upper hand, so what can they do.

When Murong Ling saw that everyone was silent, he stood up and walked over: "From now on, everyone is guarding the city. No one except me should go out to fight! If the city is broken, you should rush out through the west gate and escape for your lives. I will hold the enemy back!"
