Of course, Shi Cong could not be so confident that he thought Shi Hu did not dare to kill him. On the contrary, he felt that he had made a big mistake this time. If he went to see Shi Hu directly without any preparation, he would definitely die, so he was reluctant to enter the meeting.

However, as the country's middle and middle army got closer, the left naval army had even sailed into WoShui, which was only three or five days away from Qiaocheng. This was because the Huainan army had disturbed too much before, which made the dredging missions upstream of WoShui very poorly completed. In addition, there was not enough labor boatmen and cattle, horses and animals, which delayed the boat trip.

If Shi Cong wants to survive this disaster, he hopes that the greatest thing is the King of Pengcheng, Shikan, who is in charge of Xu Fang. He and Shikan are both from the rest of the Qihuo family in southern Henan and have similar backgrounds. Although they also have competitive relationships, they have no big grudges.

Shi Kan and the King of Zhongshan are not harmonious. Once Shi Cong is taken by the King of Zhongshan, Shi Kan will face a crisis of losing his lips and cold teeth. Therefore, in this regard, Shi Kan is still very likely to help. Xu Fang is an important town in Huai, and Shi Kan is also the most beloved general of the generals of the begging for life. Once he is willing to make a statement and protect Shi Cong, even if the King of Zhongshan is dissatisfied, he must be concerned.

However, the envoy sent to Xuzhou has not returned for a long time, so Shi Cong naturally had no way to know Shi Kan's attitude. However, the army of the country is getting closer and closer. Although there are still tens of thousands of tribes in the town of Qiaocheng, Shi Cong also understands that it is impossible to resist the conscript of the King of Zhongshan with this. If he can't even retreat in Qiaocheng, it is very likely that the tribes will rebel and tie him out of the city and present him to the King of Zhongshan!

So in desperation, Shi Cong could only leave the town quietly and did not even dare to reveal his whereabouts to his subordinates. But his destination was not where the Wanqiu Central Army was located, but on the vortex where the left commander Guo Ao was located.

Guo Ao was a little surprised by Shi Cong's visit, but he was soon replaced by anger. His army along the Wo Water, echoing the garrison in Pengcheng, Xuzhou, focused on attacking Matou, Luojian and recapturing Xuyi, attacked both directions with Huaiyin, and retreated the Jin army's Xuzhou army to Guangling.

On this marching route, Qiaocheng is the most important supply location on the way. It can be said that the large amount of manpower, animal power and various kinds of resources prepared by Shi Cong in Qiaocheng were mostly prepared for Guo Ao's army. Therefore, when Cheng's father was attacked and Shi Cong was defeated, Guo Ao was the one who was most affected.

Because of his disagreement with the King of Zhongshan, when the Luoyang army set off, Guo Ao received less resources. He originally thought that he could get a supplement in Qiaocheng halfway, so he did not fight with the King of Zhongshan. As a result, Shi Cong made the situation like this, and Guo Ao's troops were useless, which was extremely miserable.

So after seeing Shi Cong, the culprit, you can imagine how Guo Ao feels.

"You still have the face to see me? The army was defeated and humiliated, so you can be worthy of the Lord's trust and trust!"

When he saw Shi Cong, Guo Ao was so angry that he suddenly turned black and slapped the table and scolded him.

When Shi Cong heard this reprimand, his face became even more desolate and had no confidence to refute. He just lowered his head and said, "As for a moment, no matter how Pushe punishes him, the last generals are willing to accept it. I only ask Pushe to care about his old friendship and give him a little help, and I will live my life. Although Qiao City is located, although it is destroyed, the armored soldiers are not damaged, and tens of thousands of brave soldiers are all serving Pushe!"

"The king of Zhongshan has been summoned many times, but you don't even come in. Is this a guilty attitude? There are tens of thousands of soldiers in Qiaocheng, and the father of a mere city cannot guard it. I am brave enough to speak out? What's the use of me to accept it!"

Guo Ao was even more angry when he heard this. Although there was a lot of indignation in his words, Shi Cong's statement still made him slightly moved.

"Although the last general was ashamed to use his words to pretend to be himself, he was afraid that the army would not distinguish between the enemy and the realities, he could only argue with shame. This defeat was not a crime of war, and the Southern Army was definitely not a mediocre person. Although the general of the army, the Nanshi Chen Weizhou, was not well-known in China, was a long-standing Wangzong of Wuxiang. Sima avoided the Jiangbei and still had to help him to establish Jiangdong. Chen Weizhou was rich in strange plans, quickened by the current situation, good at making clear decisions, and advanced and retreating. The person was deeply relied on Sima, and his army was also brave and heavy. The last general underestimated the enemy, so he suffered this disaster. Although Pushe came to control the crowd, he should not underestimate this person..."

"Why did this battle fail? Let me tell you in detail."

Although Shi Cong suffered such defeat, Guo Ao did not completely underestimate him. After all, this person made many contributions in his early years. He performed well in destroying the evil of Zhao of Han and defeated the Zu family in southern Henan. He was not a mediocre person. He listened to his strong words and praised the young commander of the Southern Army. Although he could not avoid the factor of shirking his faults, Guo Ao did not completely ignore it, so he asked seriously.

Shi Cong immediately talked about the beginning and end of Chengfu's battle in detail, of course, some of the reasons why he was worried about the future and neglected to be alert. But even if he put aside these, Chengfu's battle was enough to show that the Huainan Army was indeed a brave army. Whether it was equipped with heavy cavalry and heavy cavalry breaking through several times, or the light cavalry broke into the camp of Chengfu, and finally, in the end, the fierce battle in Wowan, in addition to the proper military input and ingenious tactical coordination, it also needed to be equipped with sufficient execution and combat power to achieve such a great victory.

Guo Ao listened carefully. Although he subconsciously gave the courage of the Southern People as Shi Cong said, after listening, he also felt that this Huainan Jin army was indeed a strong brigade army. Earlier, these Zhao generals were optimistic about this battle, thinking that the Southern People were vulnerable, and it seemed that they underestimated the enemy.

You should know that Shi Cong's central army was not like a scattered soldier in counties and states. In addition to many brave and war-friendly Chinese people, the background was also the old soldiers who were begging for the early years. Even in the early years, the master planned to exert all the national power to destroy Liu Yao in the west, and deliberately recalled the old soldiers in southern Henan, Xuzhou and other countries to dare to fight the final battle, so he had a considerable level of combat effectiveness.

Guo Ao's troops are already full of old subordinates of the Hebei Qihuo Army, so they also have a clear understanding of the combat effectiveness of Shi Cong's troops. The opponent can still achieve success under such a strong army, which shows that it is definitely not a weak person.

Although he had many resentment towards Shi Cong before, he was now a bad thing for Guo Ao. Although he did not have the lofty ambitions of Zhongshan King, he was also well aware of the principle that only by strong soldiers and strong horses could speak hard. Shi Cong chose to surrender to him, which was much better than being captured and killed by Zhongshan King and taking away all his people. In addition to his journey to the south and making achievements, he was originally ordered by the Lord to control the Zhongshan King.

"No matter what, you will be blamed for your defeat this time. Even if you ask me for help, I can only temporarily guarantee that the general will not be killed before the war, and give you a chance to make meritorious service. As for how the Lord will deal with you after this battle, I can't decide in one sentence."

After pondering for a while, Guo Ao made a statement and said.

When Shi Cong heard this, his face was overjoyed. He was now extremely distressed. After his defeat, his army was disintegrated and his hidden wealth was stolen. He could not even leave his people and live in seclusion as a rich man. At present, Guo Ao is willing to save his life, which is the best result for him.

However, he was happy, but he still couldn't let go of the matter that Pengcheng Wang Shikan ignored him, so he said again: "The King of Pengcheng is in charge of Xu Fang. If he could advance bravely, Chengfu would not be defeated!"

"The King of Pengcheng was ordered by the king, and this is not something you and I can decide. This defeat is still your fault. Now the army on the left is useless. You should spread the troops in the wild and take food to make a supplement to the army. If you miss the military period, not only will you be punished with multiple crimes, but I will not even be able to escape the blame!"

After hearing this, Guo Ao frowned and scolded him, not allowing Shi Cong to worry about the affairs of King Shikan, Pengcheng.

Guo Ao accepted Shi Cong here, but he could not ignore the place of the King of Zhongshan. So he asked Shi Cong to have more details of the battle, and asked someone to record the notes and send these enemy situations to the King of Zhongshan. At the end of the letter, he also stated that Shi Cong was indeed a serious crime, but now it is the time to use people, so he temporarily stayed in the army. When all the armies all went south to meet on the banks of the river, he sent Shi Cong to carry the thorns and take the crime.

When Shi Hu received this letter, he realized that Shi Cong had defected to Guo Ao, and he was furious. Although the army advanced together and the commanders from all walks of life were also determined, he was the real commander of the army. Moreover, capturing Shi Cong was not only for the sake of the Ming army's laws, but also for the tens of thousands of troops under Shi Cong's command. As a result, Guo Ao is now captured in his arms!

In a rage, Shi Hu cut off the brothers and feet of the envoy of Guo Ao and released the person, which was a complete tear-off with Guo Ao. If it weren't for the southern expedition, he would have even led his troops to break Guo Ao's camp and slaughtered him!

Guo Ao did not expect Shi Hu to react so fiercely, and he couldn't help but feel a little regretful for a moment. After all, although the Lord was wary of the King of Zhongshan, he did not completely abandon it. Instead, he treated Zhou Gong in the court. He forced Shi Cong to take on his affairs, so he completely offended the King of Zhongshan. It was a bit of a loss. But at this point, even if he handed over Shi Cong again, he might not be able to save it. He could only go all the way to the end and refuse to hand it over.

"The two armies have not yet fought and their troops have already fought. It is really not a good thing. After all, it is still a country that is built by a tyrant, with a lack of rules and regulations, and the imperial edict is unclear!"

Zu Yue has had a lot of spare time recently and summoned Xin Bin to see him. When talking about the current disputes between the various units of the slave army, he couldn't help but feel gloating.

Xin Bin also echoed from the side: "Zhao Lord is also using something that is not human this time. The Zhongshan King is too powerful, which makes the generals all feel palpitations and dare not approach. Not being able to unite with the masses is not a good choice to take charge of the army."

"That's right. The King of Zhongshan dares to do this, but he still has his confidence. Now, the old soldiers of the Zhongshan King are already over 10,000, and tens of thousands of troops have been added to the army. Taobao, the right side, is also the minions of the man. There are many other Hu people who are only worshipped by the strong. Although Guo Ao is an old man from Lord Zhao, he still has not been able to win glory with the King of Zhongshan King. Zi Chong might as well watch quietly. There will be a fierce battle when he arrives in Huai in the future. The King of Zhongshan has accumulated a long resentment and wants to establish his authority with the lives of the people of Huainan."

Speaking of this, Zu Yue looked at Xin Bin and said with a smile: "I am a good friend in the village near Zuojin. I want to invite him into the army for a little protection to avoid the harm of the army. Can Zi Chong do it later and send out his confidants to help me recall the people?"

Xin Bin was in a difficult situation to leave the camp, and after hearing this, he immediately said, "Since my grandfather has given me some advice, I should pick up your friend in person!"

"This is just a trivial matter, and there is no need to work hard for the children. Besides, my entry and exit order is only three or five people, so it won't work if there are too many people."

Zu Yue laughed, then wrote a letter of reminiscence to Xin Bin. After explaining the address, he sighed: "If I hadn't helped myself, I wouldn't want to bother Zi Chong. At present, the two countries are fighting, and it is a chaotic situation outside the army. Even brave men may not be able to go back and forth safely. If Zi Chong's subordinates are trapped outside, I will also apologize to you!"
