In the southeast of Xuzhou City, Tong Yuanwei's troops were stationed on the east side of Dalong Lake.

He and Guan Ming had agreed to fight Xuzhou together, but after leading the army out, he only followed Guan Ming and asked Guan Ming to fight first.

But what I said was very nice, saying that I wanted to prevent Shandong soldiers from attacking the rear for Guan Ming.

After setting up camp, there was Dalong Lake to the west and Yellow River to the north. If there was any case, you could retreat south to Huai'an. Tong Yuanwei had all the advantages of the territory. Without any worries, he began to sing in the camp every night, waiting for Guan Ming and Wang Xiao to lose both.

This night boy Yuanwei also held a banquet in the camp, and the tent was arranged magnificently. The literati and scholars who followed the army gathered together with famous girls and beautiful girls.

Tong Yuanwei's big sword and golden sword sat on his head, with beauties on each side, and from time to time he drank a bite of leather cups from their mouths, laughing.

"Brother, I don't want to sleep in the open here, it's so cold at night."

"I will take you to Xuzhou for a few days." Tong Yuanwei patted his concubine with his big hand, and was full of energy.

The next guest officials raised their glasses to praise them.

However, one of the people looked puzzled and asked, "Brother, but the student was not in a hurry to see Guan Ming's offensive. He was probably afraid of Wang Xiao."

"So what?" Tong Yuanwei sneered and waved his hand casually.

A Mu Liao hurriedly stood up and whispered: "The latest news is that Xuzhou City is indeed empty in defense. Wang Xiao was seriously injured and wanted to cover up his eyes, but he accidentally exposed his injuries. This Xuzhou is already a thing in his uncle's bag!"

Everyone was filled with joy again.

Tong Yuanwei spoke without hesitation and said loudly: "In the battle of Taierzhuang, Wang Xiao defeated Guan Ming with two thousand people. I thought that this kid was so capable, it would be impossible for me to vote for him in the future. What if I say, whoever can make me happy and my brothers will follow whoever I follow, is that right?"

"Yes, my uncle loves soldiers like his sons, we can't suffer any loss when we follow him."

"Hahaha." Tong Yuanwei waved his hand and said, "This time I came, I originally wanted to see with my own eyes whether Wang Xiao is really so capable, but the situation is different now. This kid is about to die, so let Guan Ming fight to the death with him. Let's eat Xuzhou City again, and everyone will have an extra territory to pay for the salary in the future. Are you happy?!"

"Boye wise."

"I have made up my mind. This time I come here without any retreat!"

Amid the cheers, Tong Yuanwei raised the jade cup on the table and drank the wine in one gulp, making the atmosphere at the banquet even more festive.

After drinking for three rounds, Tong Yuanwei was also very excited in such an atmosphere.

Although he was a general, he thought he knew some poetry and songs very well. It was a common practice to write a few poems at a banquet. At this time, he was drunk and asked people to take the pen and ink, and wrote a poem in one go, laughing and giving it to everyone to circulate.

"Good poems! Boye's literary talent is unparalleled in the world..."

"In the past, students heard that Wang Xiao could fight and write poems. Today, when I read Bo Ye's poem, I realized that Bo Ye was both civil and military, and Wang Xiao was not as good as the match..."

Amidst the praise, the poem was passed down to Tong Yushi.

Although Tong Yushi's surname was Tong, he had no relatives with Tong Yuanwei. His father was a great scholar of the Chu Dynasty and served as the Minister of Rites in his early years.

At that time, Tong Yuanwei was still a military general in a short time. Because he had the same surname as Mr. Tong, he cursed and recognized him as his uncle. It was also because of the great kindness of the Tong family that Tong Yuanwei gradually emerged.

After the death of the old Shangshu, Tong Yushi had nowhere to settle down in the chaos of war, so he had to join Tong Yuanwei's disciple.

After holding this piece of paper and looking at the poem above, Tong Yushi's eyebrows couldn't help but tremble.

"The heroes of Huai Zuo will hold a long sword and will immediately rest assured the people and the horses will be immortals. The beauty loves me, and her little feet are thin on my shoulders."

After seeing this, Tong Yushi sighed in his heart.

What is it about, can it be called poetry even if it is not a mess?

It’s okay to write something unsightly on weekdays. How can people not worry about the current situation?

I just ate wine and had fun all day long. What should I do in the future? I dare to come and beat Wang Xiao...

Tong Yushi was afraid that he would not be able to fight. He only reads Tong Yuanwei's poem, and then compared Wang Xiao's poem, he felt that his future was bleak.

At this time, the tent had already become quiet, and everyone was furious to flatter Mr. Wang. What's the matter of suddenly stopping when you arrived at your Tong Yushi?

Tong Yushi felt everyone's eyes look and felt frightened.

What should I do? Otherwise, I would say, "My uncle is so well written, and the students are stunned."

But if you still don’t persuade Master at this time, you’re afraid that the disaster will come in the future...

Tong Yushi thought about it and bowed his hands to Tong Yuanwei and smiled: "Brother, this... seems not the time to write poetry now?"

In a word, the smile on Tong Yuanwei's face instantly frozen.

The whole tent was quiet.

Tong Yushi felt a murderous aura pressing down, making people feel cold on his back.

He knew that Tong Yuanwei was cruel and tyrannical, and was shocked. He tried to calm himself down and thought that he wouldn't be so unhappy. No matter how unhappy you are, my family has great kindness to you. Today I just advise you...

The next moment, Tong Yuanwei laughed.

"Yu Shi, you are too boring. If you don't want to drink and write poems, go out. Don't wipe out my happiness here."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. When Tong Yushi was driven out, the atmosphere became warmer again.

However, after a while, a soldier suddenly came in and reported loudly: "Report! Tong Yushi wanted to contact Wang Xiao secretly, but was discovered by us. He fled and fled, and had been killed by us!"

Tong Yuanwei was furious and threw the cup to the ground, yelling: "What a damn Tong Yushi, I've taken him in so long, how dare I betray me?! Drag his body out and cut it into pieces!"

"yes!"

Everyone in the tent felt a chill, and they heard Tong Yuanwei ask, "What are you thinking? Are you sad for the traitor?"

Everyone burst into laughter.

"My uncle misunderstood. I'm so happy to see Mr. kill the traitor. I'm so happy! So happy..."

~~

The next day.

"Just as a person like Guan Ming and Tong Yuanwei deserve to be the opponent of the Duke?"

Zhang Duan sneered, with a little disdain on his face, and spread his hands and let the maid Xia'er tidy up her robes.

Xia'er puzzled and asked, "The young master has always kept a distance from the Duke of China, but why do you admire it so much now?"

"You won't understand." Zhang Duan said lightly.

Unfortunately, there are not many people who know about it except yourself.

The Duke pretended to be seriously injured and could not be in charge of the magistrate, deliberately attracted the troops from Jiangbei to attack, and would probably defeat them soon.

This time he opposed Zuo Mingjing and offended the Duke, but he was able to keep his promise and let someone warn him, and he also understood the meaning.

"Do you think I can't get up?"

——I will give you a chance. In the future, either you will do your best or I will do you.

This sentence is a warning, a win-win, and a trust, revealing strong confidence. How sophisticated?

Haha, Guan Ming, Tong Yuanwei? It's ridiculous.

I am so smart that I am even suppressed by the Duke of the State when I take action. I dare to show off even if I have a good fortune?

Zhang Duan thought about this and picked up the sweet potatoes on the table and ate them while walking.

Of course he wouldn't have paid attention to etiquette like this before, but now it's different... Now there must be Jinyiwei staring at him secretly and he has to act diligently.

The Duke gave him a chance, but he only gave him one chance.

——By the way, the Duke of the State really covets Zuo Mingjing, and I can see from these recent events.

...

On this day, Zhang Duan was still very confident and believed in his own judgment.

However, as time passed day by day, his confidence disappeared little by little.

Xuzhou City seems to be really going to be defeated by Guan Ming and Tong Yuanwei…

Five days later, Zhang Duan stood on the streets of the inner city, watching the arrows in the air scattering like rain on the top of the city, and murmured: "It's impossible... Why? Why didn't the Duke defeat them? Are there any plans?"

The other party has many people and power. If you want to win, you should do your best as soon as possible.

The longer it drags on, the harder it is to fight against the crowd...

Five days later, another five days, and Zhang Duan has begun to doubt his judgment.

"Don't the Duke really can't afford to be seriously injured? Pei Min was just scaring me? Is he really can't get up?"

It would be too late if you don't take action! What are you waiting for...

After three days, Xuzhou City was already shaking.

Zhang Duan returned from the city wall with a tired look on his face and fell to the ground.

"It's over, Xuzhou will definitely not be able to defend it. Good you Wang Xiao, you are afraid you will be seriously injured and die, right?! I was going to serve the King of Qi, but you scared me again..."

~~

Kaifeng City.

In a boudoir, Mao Xiang was wearing a dress, and his handsome face was filled with a faint sense of loneliness.

A woman on the couch also turned over, put on a gauze dress, walked behind him, and wrapped her arms around his waist.

"Young Master." She called out softly, her eyes were filled with love, and she lowered her eyebrows and said softly: "I want to take off the cage and choose someone to follow. Only the young master can be entrusted for life."
