After his father led his army across the bridge, Cui Teng's first order to the guards was not to disturb his sleep. Anyway, his brother Cui Sheng was in charge of the army in Baiqiao Town, so he didn't need to come forward.??{?[

But I couldn't sleep all the time, and I got tired of it all night. After dawn, Cui Teng called the guards in, drank and gambled together, and finally found some fun.

Mr. Cui's wine and gambling products are average. Several guards had already understood this, so they tried their best to give in and try every means to make wine. This move was successful. Before it was dark, Cui Teng fell asleep. The guards sighed and took away the scattered silver on the table. Mr. Cui's gambling products were not good, but they didn't care about the money. Afterwards, they never asked where the silver was going.

When the drums outside were like thunder, Cui Teng jumped up suddenly, ran twice, shouted "guards" in his mouth, put on his boots, rushed out of the room, and was stunned for a moment. The entire Baiqiao Town was already in chaos, and the soldiers ran around like flies. The drums came from outside the town, mixed with shouts and horse hooves, as if tens of thousands of people were attacking at the same time.

Before Cui Teng's drunkenness could pass, he staggered forward and fell forward, and grabbed a guard's arm, "What's going on? The Huns are coming?"

The guard shook his head blankly, "It's not the Huns, but the Northern Army. It's said that the Northern Army's Grand Sima has come, and we want to surrender."

"Campus Hou is here?" Cui Teng was surprised.

The guards don't know how to answer.

Baiqiao Town is not big, and the Northern Army outside has rushed to the edge of the town and is confronting the defenders and colliding. It has not yet fought directly, but the shouts are louder.

"Look for my brother!" Cui Teng could only come up with this solution, and ran away, with several guards following closely behind. Their responsibilities were not only to protect Mr. Cui, but also to make him happy and monitor his whereabouts.

The eldest son Cui Sheng was ordered by his father to stay in Baiqiao Town, and was summoning all the generals to discuss countermeasures.

"How come the Northern Army said that it was just a turn of the enemy? Isn't the champion Hou competing for the position in the capital? Why did he come here?" Cui Sheng was also at a loss.

Fortunately, there was a veteran who stayed to assist him. Although the matter was urgent, he had already figured out the general facts, "The Grand Sima of the Northern Army was not the champion Hou, but the Jue Hou. It is said that he was appointed by the emperor..."

"Mr. Juehou? For no reason, he is not... How many people are there in the Northern Army? How many of us are? Can we defend it?" Cui Sheng gave a series of questions. As the head coach, he had no opinion at all and had no idea about the number of soldiers under his command.

"The Northern Army is likely to have received support, and the number of people is probably no less than 10,000, and the Southern Army has 40,000..."

"We have the advantage, we will definitely win." Cui Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.

"The Southern Army has 40,000 people stationed in different camps, and there are only 3,000 people in Baiqiao Town."

"Ah?" Cui Sheng's face suddenly changed. Three thousand to ten thousand, but there was no chance of winning at all. "Hurry up and cross the bridge to chase my father. Is it still too late?"

"General, don't worry. Although there are not many 3,000 people in the Southern Army, it is enough to resist for a while. I have sent people to various battalions to dispatch troops. I can arrive at the fastest hour. Before dawn, at least 10,000 people can gather. The longer I persist, the more beneficial it is to the Southern Army."

"It makes sense, you did a good job and sent someone to inform my father?"

"Sent."

"Okay, you made a contribution."

"It is the commander's merit to defend Baiqiao Town, and the last general is just ordered to do things." The veteran general not only knows how to fight, but also knows the way of becoming an official.

Cui Sheng smiled and said, "Well, keep it, be sure to keep it."

The shouts outside suddenly became louder, and Cui Sheng's face changed, "What's going on?"

The old general didn't understand. Just as he was about to send someone out to check the situation, an officer ran in panic, "No, no, the Northern Army entered the town and had occupied the White Bridge."

When Baiqiao lost, he even lost the passage to chase the main force of the Northern Army. Cui Sheng almost fell off his chair, slapped the table, and said furiously at the old general: "Have you arranged everything? How could Baiqiao be lost?"

The old general blushed, "I, I... will go out and have a look..."

A louder voice came from outside, even louder than the shouts of the two armies in the south and north, "Surrender! Surrender! General Cui has an order, the Southern Army surrender! All surrender! Welcome the Grand Sima of the Northern Army!"

This time it was Cui Sheng's turn to blush. He recognized the voice, which was clearly his younger brother Cui Teng, and he couldn't help but feel angry, "Who released him?"

Cui Sheng took the lead in rushing out, and the other generals followed behind, thinking that things were going to be bad. It would be fine if it was just a sneak attack by the Northern Army. The commander's younger brother blatantly encouraged surrender, which would be difficult.

Baiqiao Town is just a main street. Cui Sheng watched a large number of Northern Army cavalry rushing towards Baiqiao, only a few dozen steps away from him. Some Northern Army were divided into several teams, galloping across the town, and separating and surrounding the Southern Army.

Cui Sheng was stunned, and the old general behind him said, "General Cui, Baiqiao Town has been lost, so please move quickly."

"How can I cross the river without a white bridge?" Cui Sheng was like an insect. The only light source he could see was the main force of the Southern Army led by his father. The river was not wide, but it had just thawed and there was water and ice, so he would definitely not be able to get through it.

"It's not that I cross the river, go to other camps, and I still have time to dispatch troops and take back Baiqiao Town."

Cui Sheng then realized, "Go away!"

Cui Sheng had only fifteen or sixteen people around him, and he protected him to find horses and prepared to walk around the edge of the town to another military camp.

Mr. Cui rode out on a horse, blocked the road ahead, and shouted happily: "Brother, where are you going? Brother and brother-in-law are not here."

As soon as he saw his younger brother, Cui Sheng got angry and strode towards him, "The bastard who was scattered inside and outside, he lost Baiqiao Town. Let's see how you go to see your father!"

"Jenhou is his family. How can he lose Baiqiao Town? Besides, you are the head coach. If you want to say that you will take responsibility when you meet your father, it is you."

Cui Sheng's eyes were red, and he drew his sword to chase his younger brother, but he only had two legs, Cui Teng rode a horse, turned around and ran. After a few steps, he stopped and turned around and said, "Brother, aren't you here really? He hurt me, even if my father doesn't say anything, mother and Laojun..."

Cui Sheng caught up quickly, and Cui Teng hurriedly ran away again.

As the two brothers got closer and closer to the main street, more than a dozen generals and guards looked at each other, all looking at the old general.

The old general was in a dilemma. The correct way was to leave the commander behind and go to other camps to mobilize troops. Perhaps he had a chance to retake the town, but in that case, he had to bear the crime of abandoning the commander. Even if Cui Sheng was rescued, it would be difficult to explain clearly afterwards.

"Oh, General Cui is here... Let's share the joys and sorrows." The old general took the lead and went to chase the Cui brothers.

When Cui Sheng realized that there were already soldiers from the Northern Army in front, behind and on the left and right. The Northern Army was busy occupying the White Bridge. Before he noticed him, Cui Sheng turned around in his place, and once again gained the upper hand in his heart. He said to the old general who was chasing him: "Why did you come here? Do you have any other way?"

The old general said helplessly: "Since Juehou led his troops to attack the Southern Army, then ask him why he was betrayed."

"Yes, question him... won't anger him, right? When he was breaking the Iron City, his opponents were ruthless."

"Uh... General Cui's sister is Mrs. Juenhou. Juenhou should always take into account some family affection if he doesn't look at the monk's face."

"The Grand Sima of the Northern Army has arrived!" Cui Teng's cry came.

Cui Sheng looked up and saw a group of cavalry holding torches, surrounded by a man, rushing towards him, coughing twice, trying to stay calm, thinking about how to question him later.

The old general watched the Northern Army come and go, and quickly found the exact number. It turned out that the thousands of people stationed outside were not supported by the strange troops. He felt very regretful. If he was more determined, he would not give up the vital places with just the 3,000 southern troops in the town.

The old general glanced at the coach Cui Sheng beside him, sighed secretly, and finally gave in.

Han Ruzi prepared a complete offensive plan, feinting the attack from the front and attacking Baiqiao from the flank. As a result, Cui Teng's few shouts made his plan useless.

The rumors in the capital had already made the soldiers of the Southern Army panic all day long. The Northern Army suddenly turned against each other, which made everyone confused and their morale depressed. Everyone recognized the second son of Cui. As soon as he shouted to surrender, the three thousand soldiers immediately put down their weapons, which would save them from a tragic battle.

Cui Teng rode a horse next to Juanhou and kept explaining: "Brother-in-law, it's not that I don't inform you, but my father was too nervous. He treated me as a prisoner and sent six guards to guard it day and night... No matter what, it's my fault that I didn't fulfill my promise, but I persuaded the Southern Army to surrender, can I make up for my merits?"

"Well, I remember you for your merit." Han Ruzi appeared to be cold and seemed not to take Cui Teng seriously. In fact, she was just dealing with it carefully. If she was too cold, Cui Teng would be angry and could do anything. If she was too close, Cui Teng would be in trouble. Han Ruzi chose a subtle middle attitude to barely tame the donkey temper of Mr. Cui.

Cui Teng cheered, "When I saw the offensive posture of the Northern Army, I felt it was like your style. I didn't expect you to be the Grand Sima of the Northern Army. What will you do next? Go to fight the Huns? I missed it last time, and I will definitely keep up this time. No, let's go to the capital, and it's lively there..."

Han Ruzi ignored him and rode a horse to Cui Sheng and others.

Cai Xinghai stepped forward, "The Grand Marshal of the Northern Army is here, and you are all bowing."

The soldiers of the Southern Army around had become prisoners, and the Northern Army officially occupied the entire Baiqiao Town. Cui Sheng looked ashamed. He forgot about the question he had thought about and hesitated for a while before he said: "The Grand Sima of the Northern Army is the champion marquis, no... no..."

"Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager personally passed the imperial edict and appointed Juan Hou as the Grand Marshal of the Northern Army." Cai Xinghaidao.

"No, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor died. My father led the Southern Army to quell the rebellion. How could there be an imperial edict?"

Cai Xinghai was about to speak, when Han Ruzi slapped forward, looked down at Cui Sheng who was standing on the ground, and said, "The Grand Tutor has an imperial edict in his hand, why can I not? Cui Sheng, don't waste my time."

Cui Sheng's face turned pale. Cui Hong received an imperial edict for dismissal. Cui Sheng was one of the few insiders. He began to believe that Jue Hou really had an imperial edict. He was panicked and his legs were bent involuntarily. Finally, he knelt on the ground. Once he knelt, the other generals knelt down and surrendered without hesitation.

Han Ruzi didn't have any special feelings, but Cui Teng next to him was full of passion. Looking at Juehou, a crazy thought suddenly popped up in his heart: his brother-in-law should be the emperor. (To be continued.)8
