., update the latest chapters as soon as possible!
Su Chen returned to the house and saw a carriage parked at the door. A familiar figure in a robe seemed to have come from afar. He was standing in the yard talking to Peng Jingjing and others. It seemed that he had just arrived.
This figure and voice are none other than Liu Mo Nong.
She was placed on the island to guard her home. Until the last time she sent someone to pick up Yang Ling'er and Han Xizai, Su Chen also sent someone out to sea to pick up Liu Monong.
"Mo Nong!"
When the woman heard the shout, she suddenly turned around, revealing her beautiful face, it was Liu Monong.
She has shoulder-length hair, a fair face, very soft and clear eyes, glossy red lips, a delicate and slightly cold face, and a sweet smile.
"Ms. sir!"
Liu Monong rushed over and threw himself into Su Chen's arms. They hadn't seen him for half a year, but Liu Monong missed him very much.
"Just come back!"
Su Chen smiled slightly and put his arm around Liu Mo Nong's slim waist, his heart filled with affection.
Everyone entered the hall together, and all the girls gathered together. Bai Susu, Peng Jingjing, and Zhou Jiamin were all gathered here.
These confidantes are the true love in Su Chen's heart, and they can live together after taking them over.
In the evening, the girls and Su Chen had a reunion dinner of hot pot and talked about what happened after they parted until very late.
That night, Su Chen stayed in Liu Monong's room to comfort her from her lovesickness.
Three days later, the new Wu court made military arrangements. Lu Chaoqun led 50,000 troops northward to accept the surrenders of Suzhou, Huzhou and other places, and then garrisoned Runzhou to guard against Jinling Ferry.
Su Chen led 50,000 elite soldiers and marched to Shezhou in Li Tang territory to the west. At the same time, Su Chen had compiled a letter and secretly sent it to Lu Jiang in Shezhou.
At this time, Shezhou was besieged by Pan Mei's army, which was constantly attacking and was close to running out of food.
Lu Jiang and Tao Ze have been here for two months, launching a joint resistance between the army and the people, resulting in heavy casualties.
"Now the army is short of food. We only have half a month's worth of food. What should we do?" Tao Ze said worriedly.
Lu Jiang sighed: "Continue to fight for food from the people, leave a few days of rations for the people, and then let go of some old and weak women and children, leaving the strong men to guard the city. In this way, the people will not be overrun and starved to death, and the city can be preserved as much as possible.
The strength of the defenders."
Tao Ze heard what he said and it made sense, so he had no choice but to do this.
At this moment, I suddenly received a report from the general who was guarding the city. Several cavalrymen broke into the joint camp of the Song Army and arrived at the city. They were pulled into the city by the soldiers guarding the city gate and temporarily guarded them. Those few people claimed to have brought a secret message.
, to be presented to General Lu Jiang.
Lu Jiang frowned, full of doubts. Who else could write a secret letter to him at this time? Could it be the prefects and generals of other prefectures in the Southern Tang Dynasty that had not fallen?
"Bring the people."
Lu Jiang interrogated him personally in the lobby of the General's Mansion.
Soon, several warriors were brought over and knelt in the lobby.
"Who sent you to deliver the letter?"
"General Lu will know after reading the letter!" The man untied the letter and presented it to him.
After Lu Jiang's bodyguard checked that the letter was not poisoned, he forwarded it to Lu Jiang.
Opening the letter, Lu Jiang saw familiar handwriting, and the content above surprised him even more. It turned out to be a secret letter written by Su Chen to him.
Su Chen wrote in his heart that the Kingdom of Wu has been restored. He is currently a marquis in the Kingdom of Wu and serves as a general. Han Xizai and others have also been re-employed in the Kingdom of Wu. Now that the Kingdom of Wu Yue has been replaced by the Kingdom of Wu, he plans to send troops.
Invading the old areas of the Southern Tang Dynasty, they were all incorporated into the territory of the State of Wu, and the Song army was expelled.
Lu Jiang was shocked when she saw the letter, and then she was overjoyed and laughed loudly.
"Master Su is not dead yet. He is still a general in the Kingdom of Wu. He is about to lead his troops to the old land of Li and Tang Dynasties. That's great. We are saved."
After Lu Jiang read the letter, she handed it to Tao Ze, who was very excited after reading it.
Because Tao Ze's ancestor was the governor of the Yang Wu regime, he had been in contact with the restoration forces in the past few years. Now that he saw that Yang Wu finally succeeded in restoring the country, he was also very happy.
"Master Su wrote a plan in the letter, we just need to act according to the plan." Lu Jiang smiled slightly, trusting Su Chen very much.
"We will hold on for a day tomorrow and break out the next day?"
"Yes, we will break out of the encirclement in the early morning of the next day and rush northeast to the Wu Kingdom. In the Heiyun Ridge area, Su Chen has sent vanguard troops to ambush and respond. By then, we can encircle and suppress Pan Mei's army."
"That's very good!" Tao Ze laughed loudly and agreed with this plan.
The next day, the Song army continued to attack the city, and the Shezhou defenders resisted to the death. Both sides suffered casualties.
But Pan Mei remained indifferent, knowing that the city was already short of food and Shezhou could not hold on for long.
In the early morning of the next day, at dawn, Lu Jiang and Tao Ze led more than 10,000 troops and horses, broke out from the east gate, rushed through the Song army's camp, and headed toward the northeast.
The general of the Song Army quickly reported the news to Pan Mei.
"Lu Jiang, Tao Ze has led his troops to break through? Order your troops immediately to hunt down this deserter!"
Pan Mei left his deputy general Li Hanqiong to lead troops into the city to occupy Shezhou. He personally led 50,000 troops to pursue Lu Jiang and Tao Ze's troops, intending to annihilate the rebel army in one go.
The pursuit lasted for about two days and one night. At dusk, as they passed through the Heiyun Ridge area, suddenly arrows shot into the sky. Then drums shook the sky, and arrows shot like rain at the Song army.
The Song army was ambushed and stopped advancing.
In an instant, several groups of soldiers and horses attacked the Song army from different directions.
Peng Jingjing, Jing Hong, Taishi Zhao, Hu Chengxian, Lin Juyi, and Bao Zhifei each had 5,000 troops. They fought out from the front, rear, left, and right, with the cavalry in the lead and the infantry behind. They were armed with sharp new Wu knives and attacked Duan.
intercepted the Song army.
At this time, many parts of the Song Army's team were cut off and unable to be connected. The sky had darkened and the melee began.
When Lu Jiang and Tao Ze heard the sound of fighting, they turned around and rushed back to block the Song Army's vanguard.
Just like this, for ten miles in Heiyun Ridge, there was the sound of fighting.
"No, I fell into a trap!"
Pan Mei was shocked. She couldn't imagine where the soldiers and horses came from, so she could only order the troops to withdraw and fight while moving.
It has to be said that Pan Mei was a famous general in the Northern Song Dynasty. Even if he retreated, he had a certain plan and was not defeated immediately. At least 20,000 of his troops were saved and they retreated back without disrupting the formation.
It's just that the 30,000 troops in front are already surrounded by the enemy, cut apart layer by layer, and cannot be commanded.
Victory or defeat is a common thing for a military strategist. Pan Mei felt that as long as she brought back 20,000 main troops and returned to Shezhou to regroup, she could still stabilize her footing.
At this moment, the sound of a gong suddenly came to mind.
Su Chen personally led 20,000 elite troops and waited for Pan Mei's withdrawal in a mountain forest. At this time, he happened to rush out to block Pan Mei's retreat.
"Kill, capture Pan Mei alive!"
Under Su Chen's command, there was a burst of fierce shooting of bows and arrows, and then 20,000 elite Shence troops roared out and had a head-on confrontation with the Song army's main force, the Forbidden Army.
Happy May Day to everyone!
