Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law.

Chapter 496 Zuo Lianglun: Mr. Hou replied to the letter
"咴"

I saw Tuoba Zhu parked on the road with one man and one horse holding guns.

Cui Shuang and Song Shiming reined in their horses, stepped back a little, and looked at Tuoba Zhu from a distance.

"I am Tuoba Zhu, Prince of Jinxia. General Song, do you dare to come over and fight with me?" Tuoba Zhu held a gun and invited the two to fight.

"He is Tuoba Zhu."

Hearing this, Cui Shuang and Song Shiming looked at each other with surprise on their faces, and then backed away a little.

They didn't know Tuoba Zhu, but they had heard of him from Chen Mo's mouth.

I heard that this person is also a top-grade warrior.

"No wonder it scares me."

Song Shiming whispered, he was not a fool, how could he go to fight Tuoba Zhu and instead retreat to a distance that he thought was safe.

"You are a coward who doesn't even have the courage to fight with me." Tuoba Zhu said coldly after being silent for a while.

Cui Shuang started talking: "So you are the pig prince that the Marquis mentioned. The Marquis said that if you surrender with courtesy, you will still retain your title of Marquis."

This man is so shameless.

"The brave guards are clearing out the remaining enemies, and the Marquis is behind them," Shao Jinneng said.

After cursing, Cui Shuang reined in his horse and retreated, fearing that Tuoba Zhu would rush over and kill him in anger.

Just when he didn't know what to say.

Tuoba Zhu: "..."

Tuoba's expression changed drastically, but he did not rush over or say anything.

"I am a vulgar person, and I can't understand etiquette with you bastards." Cui Shuang said loudly.

"I'll report to the Marquis." Cui Shuang said.

"Run away, Tuoba, the queen of the palace, we are no match for him." Cui Shuang replied, and then asked: "What's going on inside? Where is the Marquis?"

Tuobazhu's eyes narrowed slightly, his expression uncertain.

Through the mouth of Jin Xia, who was captured before, they also learned that Tuoba Zhu came up with the idea of ​​letting the people of Yaoer City participate in the war.

However, before Cui Shuang finished speaking, he scolded him with an unpleasant voice: "The Pig Prince is as timid as a mouse. He doesn't even have the courage to face my Marquis. He only does some animal behavior that takes advantage of the people. He is so shameless. It would be easy to kill you, but you should be stripped of your skin and cramped, and then cut into eight pieces and soaked in the cesspit..."

"I really don't dare to fight you." Cui Shuang nodded in agreement.

I don't know how long it took, Tuoba Zhu held his telescope, and after observing the billowing dust and smoke rising behind Cui Shuang and the others, he put down his telescope. Tuoba Zhu stopped staying, turned his horse's head, and fled in the direction of Yingcheng.

He stood here alone, watching Cui Shuang and the others.

Tuoba Zhu frowned: "I heard that the Song Dynasty is a country of etiquette. Since you are a general of the Song Dynasty, why are your words so vulgar and rude?"

Cui Shuang added: "But if we say you are a timid coward, so are you, Prince Pig. If you are brave, my Marquis will be here soon. Do you dare to fight with my Marquis?"

Although it had already been understood that it was Tuoba Zhu, not "Tuoba Zhu", Cui Shuang said this deliberately to humiliate the other party.

"Where are the people?" What followed were the heroic cavalry guards led by Shao Jinneng.

……

Chen Mo soon learned about Tuoba Zhu's escape.

There was nothing he could do about it, he was the only top-grade warrior in the army, and he would definitely be in the front. If he went to Jishi Ridge to ambush, the east gate of Bingcheng might not be able to be broken.

"It doesn't matter. The Eastern Route Army in the north has been almost completely wiped out. He definitely doesn't dare to stay in Youzhou anymore. The overall situation in the north has been decided. Let's keep him alive for the time being. There will always be a chance for liquidation in the future."

As he spoke, Chen Mo patted Cui Shuang on the shoulder and said loudly: "We have come all the way from Qingzhou, traveling day and night, traveling thousands of miles, sleeping in the open air, just to regain the lost land of the Song Dynasty and drive out the foreigners. Now, The overall situation has been decided, and there will be something like you in the glorious history of the future." Hearing this, Cui Shuang and others showed excitement.

Leaving one's name in history is no less powerful than conferring a title of nobility or becoming a prime minister.

Chen Mo didn't say any more, and ordered the generals: "Have a good rest tonight, refresh yourself, and rush to Yingcheng tomorrow."

"promise."

……

Shuofei County, Yuzhou.

In the early morning, the white fish belly spits out from the east. Although Yuzhou is in the south, there is also a lot of coldness at this time, and a layer of frost forms on the ground.

Chen Jun inside the city and Yue Jun outside the city began to have breakfast.

Before Chen Mo went to the front line, he was on guard against Longyou, so there were defense lines inside and outside the city of Shuofei County.

After Yue Ruyan agreed to Zuo Lianglun's proposal, Zuo Lianglun made the decision for Chen Mo and took Yue Ruyan and the others in.

But after all, Chen Mo's letter had not yet been sent back. Zuo Lianglun did not let the Yue army enter the city, but arranged them on the defense line outside the city.

In order to express his sincerity, Zuo Lianglun released the entire Yuezhi clan into the city and arranged for people to be sent to Linzhou to settle down.

Just when Chen Jun and Yue Jun were having breakfast.

Not far outside the city, there was the sound of uniform, thunder-like steps.

On the watchtower set up outside the city, Soldier Yue observed a large number of Jinxia troops not far away, rushing towards Shuofei County.

Jin Xiajun is coming.

"General, the Jinxia barbarians are here." The soldier reported to Yue Ruyan.

Yue Ruyan looked at the city behind her.

On top of the city, Zuo Lianglun looked at Li Yunzhang.

Although Zuo Lianglun was the prefect of Yuzhou, Yuzhou was separated from military and political affairs, and Li Yunzhang, who was stationed in Shuofei County, was in charge of the united front.

"When the Marquis passed by Yuzhou, he sent me a message, ordering me to hold on no matter what happens. If you really can't hold on, you can retreat to Linzhou and ask Master Geng for advice." Li Yunzhang handed over to Chen Mo. It was given to him and told Zuo Lianglun.

Zuo Lianglun thought for a while and said: "Now we have top-grade warriors in Shuofei County. If we stick to it, we will definitely be able to hold it."

Li Yunzhang nodded: "Let's see how these barbarians act."

Soon, Jin Xia launched an attack.

From morning to night, they took turns attacking like a wheel battle.

Shuofei County's defense had long been strengthened, and even without the use of clay bombs, it still repelled the Jinxia Army's attack.

But Li Yunzhang also understood that today's battle was a test by Jin Xiajun.

"Sir, the flying pigeon is delivering the message." At this moment, Yuzhou Captain held a piece of paper in his hand and delivered it to Zuo Lianglun.

Zuo Lianglun took the paper, unfolded it, lowered his eyes and took a closer look, and then raised a smile at the corner of his mouth. He noticed Li Yunzhang's sideways glance, and immediately gave the paper to him and said with a smile: "General Li, should I invite General Yue?" Madam went into town for a drink."

Soon, Yue Ruyan was invited into the city by Zuo Lianglun.

Yue Ruyan did not take off her armor and boldly entered the banquet hall prepared by Zuo Lianglun.

Looking at the fine wine and food prepared in the hall, Yue Ruyan raised her eyebrows lightly and said coldly: "Master Zuo has something good to share with me."

Zuo Lianglun smiled and nodded, saying, "That's right. Mr. Hou replied."
