On the first day of June, Qu'a County Magistrate Ji You led a group of villagers to take up affairs, expelled more than a thousand guards from Liyang, burned down floating bridges, isolated the north and south roads, and returned to the king's throne.

Zhang Jian was shocked when he asked, and sent Honghui to lead his side troops to Qu'a to quell the chaos. However, Honghui failed to fight several times in the north of Qu'a County, so he could only stay near to sweep the four directions to avoid further corruption in the situation.

On June 5, Shen Zhezi led his troops across Shangrongqu to invite Zhang Jian to fight, but Zhang Jian retreated without fighting and retreated to the northwest of Lianhu Lake, digging ditches and flooding the fields, blocking the Dongyang Army's pursuit. In desperation, the Dongyang Army could only station in the northeast of Lianhu Lake, collecting bamboo and wood to build rafts to prepare to cross the lake to destroy the thieves.

Because the north of Qua County was flat and there was no danger to rely on, after temporarily forcing the retreat of Honghui troops, Ji You led more than 2,000 rebels from the villages to retreat to the camp of Yunyang Mountain. At the same time, he sent a cavalry to the four fields to convey the manifesto of Jingkou Xingtai to fight against rebellion, and called on the villagers to take righteousness to kill the thieves.

After a few days of busyness, Ji You Rong Jia was there on this day. After visiting the camp, he returned to his residence in the camp. His family told him that the Dongyang Army was coming outside the camp.

Ji You have been waiting for further news from Shen Zhezi these days. After hearing this, he was unable to get rid of his armor, so he immediately let him go and then hurried out.

The Dongyang Army came this time, with a total of hundreds of people. Although the identity was checked, in case, the defenders led them to the open space outside the camp for a brief rest. Not long after, Ji You hurried over and saw so many Dongyang soldiers sitting on the ground. Just as they were about to speak, one of them had grown up, raised his hood, revealing a handsome and handsome face, looking at Ji You and laughed: "Ji Langjun, don't be fine!"

"dimension……"

Ji You saw the man's face clearly and was full of surprise, and then he couldn't help but smile. He hurried forward and grabbed the other person's wrist, walked side by side into the camp tent, then pointed at the other person with a look of surprise and said, "Weizhou, why are you here in person?"

Shen Zhezi took off his big hood and sat opposite Jiyou in soft armor. After looking up and down, he smiled and said, "As a matter of fact, men are the ones who are murderers. You have lost your elegance and weakness in literature. Now that you have practiced through hard work, you have a bit of Ji's style!"

"You kid, come to pretend to be an elder in front of me again! I can't help but make some things here with Shen Jun's command, defeating the thief's head, and his reputation has already caused a sensation in Jiangdong!"

Ji You laughed and scolded, "My close friends reunite, and after going through hardships, they have not fallen into military affairs, but have achieved their own achievements. You can imagine the joy in Ji You's heart.

He moved to the opposite side of Shen Zhezi and carefully looked at the close friend he met with the general. Although his appearance had not changed, he thought of what Shen Zhezi had done during the past period, under the familiar face, a kind of awe-inspiring momentum seemed to be quietly growing.

After his mood calmed down, Ji You said solemnly: "Now that Qu'a is not counted in Yan Qing, Weizhou, you still have the responsibility to command the army, so why do you come here lightly? Could it be that your troops have defeated Honghui and are about to enter Qu'a?"

When he saw Ji You’s nothing, Shen Zhezi felt relieved. His teacher now only had this little blood left, and Shen Zhezi was worried about putting Ji You behind the enemy. But he also knew that Ji You had a lot of desire to create something and was unwilling to live with others for a long time. Seeing Ji You’s obvious maturity, Shen Zhezi was also very pleased.

"It's okay, the previous victory was a big victory, and the soldiers were only trying their best. I was just a spectator in the army. Although I left, there would be no problem in the army who knew the military and was a serious soldier."

Shen Zhezi was not so naive that he showed off his merits in front of his friends. After hearing this, he smiled and waved his hand and said, "Our army is still looking at Zhang Jian's army across the lake from the lake. Although they have not fought each other, they are not easy to move. Here, Qu A can only temporarily rely on the villagers to maintain the situation."

"There are not too many soldiers here in Qu'a. Now all the families in the county are united and swear to not be with the rebels. There are only a thousand soldiers in Honghui, and their resources are scarce, and they cannot be attacked or besieged, which is not enough to cause trouble."

Ji You was not worried about the situation here in Qu A. Honghui was not strong enough. Ji You’s biggest reliance was due to his long-term arrangement with Shen Zhezi earlier. His military and armor were not scarce. The villagers gathered together bravely, and even if they could not enter the country, they would be more than enough to stick to this village.

After several earlier correspondences, Shen Zhezi was not unfamiliar with the current situation here. Although the Honghui tribe was still cruising outside the county, the tribes had already been in conflict with each other, and most of the Honghui tribes were kidnapped by Zhang Jian, and he was also imprisoned by Zhang Jian in the army.

This time, he was lucky to be released because of the Qu A Incident. After getting rid of Zhang Jian's control, not to mention the previous old grudges between them, Honghui did not dare to act rashly for his own safety alone. Although he had a fight with Qu A Yiyong these days, he was about to retreat at once, and he was full of desire to preserve his own strength.

These days, Honghui led his people to wander among the countryside, hoping to plunder and take some of the villagers as a supplement. However, after being ambushed by Shen Zhezi several times, he was completely settled down and stationed in an abandoned manor. He turned a blind eye to foreign affairs and only listened to the sound of the wind.

Earlier, Shen Zhezi came to Qu'a, and even passed by Honghui Camp. He turned a blind eye to this person and strictly restrained the soldiers from pursuing him. He was completely scared.

Having said that, it is not a matter of nothing at this moment. In addition, Ji You also knows that Shen Zhezi has a clear purpose in everything he does. If he goes privately, it is impossible to just visit him. So he asked again: "Wei Zhou, you are here in Lijun, but you have a good plan to defeat the enemy?"

After hearing this, Shen Zhezi couldn't help but sigh and said, "Zhang Jian is worthy of being a brave and good general. It was a lucky thing to defeat him earlier. He was blocking the road. A few days ago, I invited me to fight several times, but I was gently removed by this person. I was as cunning as a wolf, and I couldn't catch him, but I would be sluggish and retaliated."

Shen Zhezi said this, but it was not a false statement. There were many generals in his army, and his troops were superior, surrounding and blocking them, but Zhang Jian was always away from the siege, and the cunning and prudence revealed was really a headache.

Such distress is really determined by the unique terrain of Jiangdong. Shen Zhezi's troops did not have large-scale cavalry, only a few more than 300 cavalry were used as scout rangers. Although the navy had many boats, it was too dependent, so Zhang Jian could hardly get closer to the large water flow main road. If it was a small water flow, it would not be able to give full play to the advantages of the navy.

Of course, this is because Zhang Jian does not have any strategic locations that must be defended. His existence itself is enough to cause great trouble to the Dongyang Army. He cannot catch up and cannot encircle and annihilate it, but if he ignores it, he will jump out and bite it again.

Hearing Shen Zhezi's complaints, Ji You nodded in agreement: "Zhang Jian is indeed a great man. I have had many contacts with him during the past period. This person is not only brave, but also quick to observe things. Unlike those brave generals who are slightly inferior, they have their own opinions on the current situation."

Shen Zhezi was not very interested in what Zhang Jian was. If he was just the hardships in front of him, he would not have no choice but to deal with Zhang Jian. Zhang Jian's army had more than 4,000, not some bandits who were not large-scale. While using a strong wall to clear the fields, he cut off his supplies, and while making arrangements for key points, he would dispatch the siege on the battlefield and chase them into the poor alley.

However, the purpose of Shen Zhezi's troops this time is not to annihilate many enemy groups and obtain many great victory. It is indeed his idea that Zhang Jian hopes to restrain his main force in this area and not reinforce others. If he really makes up his mind to encircle and annihilate Zhang Jian here, not to mention mobilizing more troops, just seeing the other party is so cunning and cautious, once he realizes that something is wrong, he will also add many variables to the battle situation.

"Weizhou, can you try to attract and persuade Zhang Jian?"

Since the enemy cannot be eliminated, it may be an option to convert it into a friendly army. After thinking for a while, Ji You said that after Zhang Jian returned from defeat, he would intervene in the internal conflict and merge with the business department, and then come to thank him.

"At that time, Zhang Jian's words were quite strange, and he praised Wei Zhou, and his implications were quite thought-provoking. But at that time, I was afraid that his words would deceive me, or that he would find out my will before punishing me, so I didn't dare to follow his words."

After repeating the words Zhang Jian had talked with him at that time, Ji You said again: "But it is also possible that this is his true confession. If he really wants to return to the king's throne, it is not necessary to use it for himself. Anyway, it is difficult to fight now. Although the hope is slim, there will be no loss when you try it."

After hearing this, Shen Zhezi was a little surprised. Jiyou's judgment and choice at that time seemed to be correct in Shen Zhezi's opinion. Zhang Jian returned from a big defeat. Although the merger and business department added some strength, his vigilance must be extremely high. It is normal to use words to deceive Jiyou. However, if Zhang Jian was so arrogant, he would inevitably be a little overly optimistic.

Zhang Jian's defeat was indeed a heavy blow to him, but if it were placed in the entire battle situation, it was not very serious. After all, Li Yang still controlled the capital, and the situation was much better than when the army was raised at the beginning of the year. In such a bad situation at the beginning of the year, Zhang Jian did not betray Su Jun but followed the army. At present, it is naturally impossible to surrender so simply.

Seeing that Shen Zhezi was pondering, Ji You volunteered to say, "If Wei Zhou had this idea, I would like to convince Zhang Jian to do it. Not only did I do my best, but I just couldn't bear to see the blood of the sword and the life wasted."

Ji You really appreciated Zhang Jian in his heart and felt sorry for him. With this person's courage and talent, it would be a matter of time before his background, and it would be a matter of time to make achievements. If he really died in such a turmoil, it would be too a pity.

Although he had no hope of surrendering Zhang Jian, he saw that Ji You were so enthusiastic, so Shen Zhezi couldn't refuse directly. After pondering for a moment, he smiled and said, "I can trust you to say this to Literature. But even if you want to recruit persuasion, it is not now. Now we have one more important thing to do. When we succeed, if you want to go to Literature, your chances of winning will increase a lot."

"What big thing to do?"

"From the west to the capital, regain Jiankang!"

Shen Zhezi said in a deep voice, this was his main purpose for the light cavalry to come to Qu'a, and it was also a major event he had been planning before Su Jun rose up!
