Chapter 21 The war continues (1)

On the city tower, Wang Ji was shocked when he saw Xu Yuan's army suddenly attacked. The Huainan cavalry actually approached quietly in the night. Even though he had been watching here for a long time, he was no longer able to remind him when he found out. Before Wang Ji ordered, the Wei army camp gate opened again, and Wang Chong and Zeng Lie troops left and right to help Xu Yuan.

When Xu Yuan saw Chen Qi coming, he didn't care about the chaos of the army, so he had no choice but to take the sword to fight. He just wanted to quickly repel Chen Qi and then return to the rescue. The deputy generals of the army tried their best to shout, so that the trustees could suppress the team, and the results were even minor in the chaos. They only stabilized the two or three hundred people around and formed a formation to resist. The remaining thousands of Wei troops were killed by the Huainan cavalry and each dispersed.

In a blink of an eye, Chen Qi had already reached Xu Yuan. Thousands of Huainan soldiers who had fled without fighting were also rushed up from all directions, surrounding Xu Yuan and the six hundred people who broke the enemy. Xu Yuan looked angry and shouted, "Rats, eat me!" The big knife in his hand slashed at Chen Qi like a windmill. This knife was used with all his strength, which was more fierce than the previous fight between the two, and was determined to kill the enemy with one blow! Chen Qi had not seen a cowardly expression, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he ignored Xu Yuan's knife and rushed straight over. But he saw Chen Qi lying on the back of the horse, his legs were clamped with the horse's belly, and he pulled the reins with his left hand and let Xu Yuan's big knife pass. When the two horses met, the spear in his right hand was like a poisonous snake spitting a letter from bottom to top and penetrated Xu Yuan's arm.

Seeing Chen Qi's series of actions, Xu Yuan knew something was wrong, so he didn't even take the knife and slashed it in the air. He had a shot on his shoulder. Chen Qi stabbed into the shoulder and snorted and knocked down the horse. Seeing that the main general was dismissed, the personal soldiers behind Xu Yuan fought to death and wanted to steal Xu Yuan back. However, they were outnumbered and killed by Chen Qi's gun.

When Wang Ji saw him in the camp, he could no longer hold back and rushed down the camp to prepare for battle. Wang Chong and Zeng Lie had already approached at this time, and the cavalry in Huainan was less than a thousand, but they were very cunning. Seeing the two armies coming to support, half of them continued to rush to the Wei army that could not escape, and the other half drove away the dispersed Wei army and ran towards the two generals.

Zeng Lie held a spear and took the lead, and picked several deserters who could not escape, as was the same as the infantry behind him. The collapsed Wei army mostly could not escape and died under his own sword. Because of this, he rushed into the Huainan army first. Wang Chong on the other side was unbearable and knew that he could not delay, so he kept shouting: "It's a man who follows me to save General Xu!" The defeated Wei army fled in the dark night. Suddenly, he saw people coming from the front and heard the shouts. Many people felt that Xu Yuan was good at governing the army and turned around to join Wang Chong's team.

Chen Qi's army had only 800 cavalry and 5,000 infantry in front and behind. At this time, he had heard the sound of the Huainan army in the rear. Chen Qi immediately ordered the entire army to let go of the Wei army that was resisting, retreat to resist Wang Chong, and Zeng Lie had two men and waited for the army behind him to come to support him.

Wang Chong and Zeng Lie also saw the enemy people approaching from afar. After rescued the trapped Wei army, they did not dare to entangle too much, so they wanted to retreat to the camp. Suddenly, drums and roars sounded in the Wei camp behind them, and a cavalry rushed out and flew past everyone. The first person's face was like iron, and the solemn and solemn was General Anton Chen Qian. Chen Qian took the lead, and the cavalry followed closely behind him, and four thousand iron cavalry rushed straight into Chen Qi's troops like arrows left.

The second general was very happy when he saw that his army had changed from defense to attack. He turned to look again. Wang Ji was wearing a silver helmet, with an iron spear in his palm, and led the army out of the Wei camp. The second general made a quick decision, and each led the left and right sides of the port area to cooperate with Chen Qian's iron cavalry to attack the enemy formation.

This time, Wang Ji saw that he lost for a while and knew that the enemy army would attack as soon as he arrived. So he arranged something in the camp to let Chen Qian's cavalry open the way, and then led the army to launch the general attack first in order to seize the opportunity.

Chen Qi led his troops to show weakness before, and he made Xu Yuan profit from the loss without any loss. Now he stopped when he saw that the troops from the rear came to pick him up. Seeing that the Wei army was divided into different directions, he was crying in his heart. The head-on battle was only enough for Chen Qian, the thousands of cavalry, to defeat him, not to mention that the two Wei troops who had retreated had turned around and attacked him from left to right, and behind him was Wang Ji's army.

Looking back, the Huainan brigade was not far away. Chen Qi cursed him so slowly. He wanted to retreat a hundred times, but he knew the arrangements of Jiang Ban, so he didn't dare to retreat. He gritted his teeth and said, "I'll order all the troops to arrive later. I'll fight for my own desperately. Who dares to escape and chop off the spot!"

So Chen Qi ordered the deputy general to divide the infantry into two teams, left and right, to fight against Wang Chong and Zeng Lie counties. He brought eight hundred cavalry to resist Chen Qian's 4,000 iron cavalry.

But Chen Qian's army had been raising their energy for a long time and was extremely fast. Before Chen Qi could complete the division of troops, they had already come. In order to lure the enemy, Chen Qi's army threw the torches long ago, and part of the cavalry was not prepared at all. Chen Qian's army was determined to attack quickly, and there was no light. In an instant, the two armies handed over and fought in the darkness.

Fortunately, Wang Chong and Zeng Lie's army brought torches and surrounded them from left and right wings. Chen Qi was unable to divide the troops, and the Huainan army on both sides fought back to death to maintain the defense line. Chen Qi led 800 cavalry in the middle, and more than a thousand infantrymen who had not yet reinforced the wings could block Chen Qian's cavalry. As soon as they were handed over, they were scattered by Chen Qian's cavalry. But two rounds and two corpses were everywhere, leaving only Chen Qi and more than 300 cavalry surrounded.

The Huainan Army was already panicked when they saw the central army being surrounded on both wings. Wang Chong and Zeng Lie charged in person and took the lead in killing the generals. Suddenly, the Huainan Army could no longer resist and the defense line collapsed and fled in all directions.

Chen Qian fought all the way, but he had never heard of Xu Yuan. He was worried and kept shouting: "Where is Ziming?" The soldiers around him were not clear when they heard this.

Chen Qi had a bloody face and could not fight out for several times. There were only more than a hundred people left by his side. He also had several guns on his back. He knew that he would die in this battle. He heard Chen Qian's shouting and replied from afar: "Xu Yuan is here, who can call me!" Chen Qian came to hear the sound, but saw Chen Qi leading dozens of cavalry to clash continuously. A head was tied in front of the horse, but he looked familiar. He looked at it with his eyes. Chen Qian was furious and waved his sword to move forward and took Chen Qi straight.

Suddenly, the cavalry of the Wei army retreated one after another, and a general carried a big axe and surrounded him and shouted loudly: "Bo Changxu, Yang Hu is here!" Chen Qi and others heard the reinforcements arrived and were surprised to join in, and they raised their strength to move towards Yang Hu. At the same time, the Huainan brigade arrived, and tens of thousands of Huainan troops rushed into four groups. Seeing this, Chen Qian hurriedly gathered the troops and asked Zeng Lie and Wang Chong to retreat first. He brought the Iron Cavalry Hall to fight and retreat. Wang Ji's army also stepped forward to respond and took the troops back to the formation.

While Yang Hu sent someone to send Chen Qi and others to the rear army for treatment, he restrained the troops from chasing them and retreated and stood up. The troops seized their positions and set up their formations. A young general under the banner of Jiangzi Da was frowning and said to Yang Hu: "How can I explain to my brother after breaking Chen Qi's troops?"

Yang Hu said: "Who knew that Wang Ji was so difficult. He lost for a while without defending and counterattacking, which made us unable to act according to the plan."

Jiang Zhao was still frowning: "I have to wait for Wang Ji to retreat before he can do it."

Yang Hu looked at the Wei Jun against him and looked back: "I'm afraid it will be difficult to get what you want."

At this point, the horn in the Wei formation sounded again, and the army attacked the Huainan army.

"This old man is so competitive?" Jiang Zhao almost jumped up from his horse when he saw this.

The so-called "repeated and repeated, and then three", declined. In the previous battle, the Wei army was defeated and counterattacked, and went out against the trend, caught Yang Qi off guard and almost died. Now the two armies are in a battle, and their morale is equal. Wang Ji is still not satisfied with his two battles, and he is trying his best to attack.

Jiang Zhao and Yang Hu were also helpless. Jiang Ban divided his troops early, and Jiang Zhao had been commanding the army under the banner of his elder brother. Now that Jiang Ban's surprise attack has not arrived, the two of them were unwilling to fight.

In the Changle Palace in Chengdu, Xu You explained to Liu Chan one by one why he was not good at recruiting palace servants.

"In this way, is it my fault?"

"I dare not, but this time the palace moves are too big, and many people are worried that they will not be able to do it for a long time, so they are unwilling to enter the palace. I am not supervising and willing to be punished." Xu You kept his tone unchanged.

Chen Qi, who arrived after hearing the news, came out of the squad and said, "Your Majesty, now we must solve the urgent problem first. When the palace is stable, we can recruit Xu Tu."

"I want to hear what the sect can do." Liu Chan still had hope for Chen Qi.

"According to my opinion, the old man who was expelled from the palace can be recalled and suspended the crisis of employment in the palace and calmed the public." Chen Qi replied.

More than 20 civil and military officials who arrived with Chen Qi also nodded. Liu Chan suddenly felt that this group of people was hopeless. He valued Chen Qi and his son from many ways, but it did not mean that he would completely delegate power to Chen Qi like Liu Chan. Now it seems that whether Chen Qi or Xu You were recruiting palace servants or appeaseing refugees, he did not work hard, and even ordered Chen Qi to thoroughly investigate the greed of the ink, and there was no news until today.

Although a minister must maintain his power, the emperor is even more so. The ministers are always ministers, and the court always follows Chen Shi's leader, and he obeys the orders and refuses to be implemented. Even if he has the power to issue orders, it will be useless. Thinking of this, he looked at the ministers disappointedly, and Liu Chan kept silent and thought about countermeasures.

The impulse of replacing all the palace personnel was indeed because of his own inadequate thinking, which led to constant grievances in the harem. However, as the head of the country, Chen Fu did not say anything to stop the situation, but instead took the matter of supplementing the personnel afterwards. Did Chen Fu have any plans?

No matter how great the emperor is, the governing the country always relies on such ministers. The country has the interests of the country, and the ministers also have the interests of the ministers. Obtaining their needs from the country is the greatest interests of this group. Liu Chan has been delegating power for a long time, and the ministers have long lost their loyalty. What they are trying to do is to have high officials and generous salaries and have their own personal interests.

In this large dye vat, anyone must follow the crowd. Those who are unique will have been eliminated long ago. Everyone's interests are closely related, so when Chen Wei felt that his power kept slipping away from his fingers, he presided over this action. He first used the affairs of the harem to attack the prestige of His Majesty's clan, including the Zhang family, would be affected.

Therefore, after hearing the news, Zhang Shao felt extremely angry. However, Chen Qi had many followers. His Majesty had previously cleaned the palace and killed a group of people. The people's hearts were already shocked. Although it had a shocking effect, it prompted the remaining people to be more united in order to protect their own interests. Violence can no longer solve this game of reallocating power, but who is Chen Qi's opponent?

Queen Zhang remained silent on the side. It was an exception to be able to stay here to discuss matters. If she was not careful and was attacked by Chen Fu and others, it would cause trouble for His Majesty.

After a while, Liu Chan smiled strangely and said happily: "Come here, bring all the people kneeling outside the palace in to me. It is also said that Hu Ben and Yulin Guards are here."

But Sima Shengzhi took the order. Liu Chan looked at Chen Qi and others with a smile on his face, not knowing what he was thinking.

Chen Qi and others didn't know what Your Majesty wanted to do and why he wanted to summon the guards in the palace. Should he suppress them by force? Chen Qi gave a wink and Xu You said, "What's the guards your Majesty summoned?"

"Can't I call the guards to come?" Liu Chan replied lazily.

"I don't dare..." Xu You was about to continue talking, but Liu Chan shouted: "Since I don't dare, why are you talking about it? Do you still want your permission to do anything I do?"

Xu You was shocked when he heard this, and he didn't dare to say anything when he knelt.
