In the early morning, when Qiao Chongliang, who had been traveling all night, arrived at Zhang Yuanyuan's tent outside the east gate of Anshu County with two hundred cavalry and three hundred infantry, Zhang Yuanyuan was still dreaming sweetly with his arms around the woman kidnapped from the road. Now Anshu

The four gates of the city were besieged, and the officers and soldiers in the city would never have the guts to come out and die. Life is short, why not enjoy yourself in time? So Zhang Yuanyuan felt safe and bold to sleep with women.

When Zhang Yuanyuan's personal soldier Zhang Dade stood outside the tent and loudly informed Zhang Yuanyuan that the second village master was asking for an audience, Zhang Yuanyuan was sleeping like a pig's head. Zhang Yuanyuan was sleeping with a woman in his arms when he was awakened by the soldier's announcement. He was very angry and even

Not hearing what the soldier was saying, he impatiently cursed in the warm bed: "Damn it, are you screwed? Who is this so early in the morning? I can't let anyone sleep well."

?”

The soldier Zhang Dade hurriedly replied loudly outside the camp: "To report to the leader of the big village, it is the master of the second village who is here. The master of the second village wants to see you!" Zhang Yuanyuan, who was sleeping in, was frightened. The leader of the second village, Qiao Chongliang, was not in the old camp of Jiejiashan Mountain.

What? What is he doing here? Could it be that an enemy knew that Jiejia Mountain was empty and raided Jiejia Mountain? Could it be that Qiao Chongliang came here to ask for help?

Zhang Yuanyuan's drowsiness disappeared immediately, and he shouted loudly: "Ask him to come in!" As he said this, he quickly put on his clothes and climbed out of bed. As soon as Zhang Yuanyuan put on his pants and top, Qiao Chongliang said outside the tent, "See the big brother."

The leader of the village raised the curtain and entered the tent. Qiao Chongliang entered the tent, but turned a blind eye to the charming woman on Zhang Yuanyuan's bed, and bowed respectfully to Zhang Yuanyuan.

When Zhang Yuanyuan saw Qiao Chongliang, a think tank with a dusty face, arriving, he quickly said with a smile on his face: "Hey, second boss, why are you here? What's the matter, something happened at home?" As he said this, he asked Qiao Chongliang to sit down, and called the soldiers to make tea.

.

Qiao Chongliang sat on the golden pier and shook his head, "Master, there is nothing going on at home. I was afraid that something might happen to you, so I came here quickly. I heard that you were defeated outside Yujiang City?"

Zhang Yuanyuan blushed, smiled awkwardly, waved his hand, and shouted, "Chongliang, don't mention it. Damn it, I brought 6,000 elite soldiers to the gate of Yujiang City. I thought it was okay.

I defeated Xie Pengcheng easily, but I never expected that a madman named Wang Changlong rushed to Yujiang with three thousand troops from Prince Wei's palace. While I was still on the march, this madman commanded the troops to attack me. This man is too crazy to fight.

, and he was very life-threatening, and Xie Pengcheng helped him, so he defeated me!"

Qiao Chongliang smiled bitterly and said: "Victory and defeat are common things in military affairs. No one can win all the time. Besides, he did it with calculations in his mind and without intention. It is normal for us to lose! But after you lost, why didn't you retreat a few dozen miles to the stronghold to repair and regroup?"

If we fight again, we will give up Yujiang and think about attacking Anshu City again? This Anshu City is where Prince Wei’s Mansion is located, so it’s not that easy to fight!”

Zhang Yuanyuan said: "Our army is all elite soldiers and has always been victorious. Who would have thought that we suffered such a big loss in Yujiang, with eight or nine hundred people killed and thousands injured. We lost all our energy in one battle."

I originally wanted to take the opportunity to break the siege of Luye, but then I thought about it, maybe the Wei Prince's Palace was up to something else, and I fell into another trap if I didn't go. I suddenly remembered that the special envoy from the Jiannan Palace had said that several teams should be gathered to attack An.

Shu, I just thought of taking them to Anshu to try their luck. If they do well, I can break Anshu City and let out this bad breath!"

Qiao Chongliang sneered: "With just Ji Tianda, He Yongjiang and a few other people, can they take down Anshu County with a bunch of rabble? Absolutely impossible! Niu Mandi just uses them as cannon fodder and lets them stay here.

Fortunately, Jianzhou was able to capture Tang Jiusheng after holding back Prince Wei's Mansion and preventing him from leaving! I heard that tens of thousands of bandits came from the Southwest Road and also rushed to Jianzhou. They must be the men of Pingxi King Yin Quan, who came to help Niu

All over the floor!”

When Zhang Yuanyuan heard this unexpected news, he couldn't help laughing, and the fat on his face trembled, "Chongliang, thank you for bringing this good news. If this is the case, then isn't Tang Jiu Sheng doomed? We will just

There is no need to be a leader and a rat, just follow these guys and conquer Anshu. Even if we have made a great contribution here in Niumandi, we won't suffer any losses when the enfeoffment is divided in the future."

Qiao Chongliang shook his head, took the hot tea bowl from Zhang Yuanyuan's personal soldier Zhang Dade, took a sip, and then said: "Master of Dazhai, according to my judgment, Tang Jiu Sheng can destroy the land full of cattle, but the land full of cattle cannot destroy Tang Jiu Sheng.

Don't look at the fact that Niu Mandi now has Yin Quan's help, it's just a fool's errand. Niu Mandi has been operating in Jiannan Road for more than ten years, and it can be said that he has lost all the hearts of the people in Jiannan. The people gnashed their teeth when his name was mentioned, and they wished they could fight with him.

We will die together! If we hang out with him, there will be absolutely no future!"

Zhang Yuanyuan said in surprise: "There are probably 20,000 to 30,000 people under Jianzhou City now, all of whom are all over the place, and there are more than 10,000 and close to 20,000 people under Anshu County City. Isn't this enough to overthrow Tang Jiusheng? I just want to

I'm afraid that if we start too late, all the credit will be taken away by others. You still don't know the character of Niu Mandi? He is determined to retaliate. If we really piss him off, it won't look good. He will definitely give us little shoes in the future.

wear!"

Qiao Chongliang sneered: "Master of Dazhai, I'm afraid that before that day comes, Niu Mandi will be dead first! These bandits he has brought to attack the city are just a bunch of bandits with their own agendas. We really want to fight with each other."

, I’m scared now! We can’t follow them into trouble, we have to stand still and wait and see what happens. We can defeat Prince Wei’s troops, but in the end we have to accept Prince Wei’s recruitment. This is the best way out for us.”

Zhang Yuanyuan glared at his fat and narrowed eyes, "Chongliang, I still don't understand what you said!"

Qiao Chongliang took another sip of tea, put the tea bowl back on the table, and asked calmly: "Master of the Dazhai, let me ask you, with our current strength, even if our eight thousand elite soldiers are not injured, can we

Can you dominate a county? Can you dominate Jiannan Road? Can you dominate the Great Shang Kingdom?"

Zhang Yuanyuan thought for a while, "If it is just in one county, maybe it can be king and hegemony, or at least it can compete with the officers and soldiers. It is hard to say in the entire Jiannan Road. If the Palace of the Prince of Wei or the Yamen of the Strategic Envoy mobilize heavy troops,

We will probably suffer a loss, and as for the entire Great Shang Kingdom, there is no need to think about it, these few troops and horses are really not enough to do anything!"

Qiao Chongliang clapped his hands and said with a smile: "The leader of Dazhai is wise! You think, with our current strength, if you give us a county, we may be able to play around, but if you give us Jiannan Road, we may not be able to do what we do. If you give us the entire Dachang

That’s even worse. It’s not just a matter of military strength. Now I’m letting you sit on the dragon’s throne in Yong’an City. Do you know how to manage a huge country?”

Zhang Yuanyuan shook his head, "Me? Of course I can't manage a country, let alone sitting in Yong'an City to manage a country. As long as I leave you, I can't manage a county!" Zhang Yuanyuan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he laughed, "

Chongliang, I understand what you mean! What you mean is that we are not good enough, and Niu Mandi is not much better than us! He can make do with just hanging around in Jiannan Road with these people under his command. If he wants to conquer the world, it is just a big dream!

"

Qiao Chongliang nodded and smiled: "Master of Dazhai, you understand what I mean. You see, if we want to fight for the world, we don't have any doors, not enough soldiers and horses, and not enough talents! You only have a think tank like me, and I

But I am just a poor scholar. Although after a few more exams, I am very likely to pass the exam, but it is probably the end, and it is impossible to pass the exam. You said you became the emperor, and I will be the prime minister. With my status

Your talent is completely insufficient. If you change someone else, you may not be at ease, so you have to act according to your ability and wear as big a hat as your head has!"

Zhang Yuanyuan smacked his lips, "Oh, Chongliang, I still don't understand. You said that the troops of King Ping Xi have surrounded Jianzhou, and that King Wei is unable to fly in the city. Why can't the land of cattle win?

?As long as Jianzhou kills Tang Jiusheng and we take Anshu County here, everything will be settled! What else is there to be afraid of?"

Qiao Chongliang crossed his legs, folded his arms in front of his chest, and sneered: "Master of Dazhai, do you really think those people outside Jianzhou City can retake Jianzhou? Don't forget that the Wei Wang Tang Jiusheng relied on three thousand soldiers

The horse captured Jianzhou! If Niu Mandi and I had changed places, I would not have given Tang Jiusheng the chance to capture Jianzhou with three thousand soldiers and horses, and I would not have waited for Tang Jiusheng to go to Jianzhou and kill Ye Tengjiao before I thought of taking action!"

Zhang Yuanyuan's curiosity aroused, and he asked with a smile: "I still don't believe it, so if the imperial court appoints the King of Guards, what else can you, a military officer, do?"

Qiao Chongliang said proudly: "Since I have long had the ambition to rule the roost, I will not sit back and watch the imperial court appoint a king of Wei to slowly encroach on my territory. Anyway, sooner or later, I will take action. So sooner rather than later, I am afraid that the king of Wei will

I had already sent people to get rid of him while he was still on the road. How can I still let him walk to the land comfortably? Since both parties have reached the point of life and death, then you will die and I will live!"

Zhang Yuanyuan shook his head and said with a smile: "Chongliang, how easy it would be to sit here and talk big words. Don't you think about it. Is there anyone in the world who doesn't know that King Wei is so powerful in martial arts? How could he be assassinated so easily?"

Qiao Chongliang laughed loudly and said: "If assassination doesn't work, then kill him openly. No matter how powerful King Wei is, I can't kill him with thousands of elite soldiers? Besides, have you ever seen our Niu Wangye take action? He just sat back and watched King Wei come to Kendo.

, arrived at the fiefdom, and watched helplessly as King Wei led his troops to suppress the bandits, and recruited thousands of bandits, initially establishing prestige in Jiannan Road. What was our Ox King doing at this time? He did nothing, just sat there and watched.

! Only when Tang Jiusheng got Ye Tengjiao on his head did he become anxious! Do you think this is the vision that a person who does big things should have? "

Zhang Yuanyuan was immediately speechless. After a while, he slapped his thigh and said, "Oh, if you don't analyze it for me, I really can't think of all these twists and turns! It's up to you scholars to see far!"

Qiao Chongliang said with a smile: "Just like us, we occupied Jiejia Mountain and became the king. Before, the land was full of cattle and didn't want to eat us. He has that strength, but as an army raised by the imperial court, then

There is a quota! He just wants to support the bandits and respect themselves, and even colludes with us people in order to have enough troops when there is an uprising in the future! But when the imperial court enfeoffed the King of Guards to control Jiannan Road, it should be clear that the imperial court had already

We have decided to attack Jiannan Road! What is there to hesitate at this time? If you rebel, you will die, if you don’t rebel, you will die, so why not give it a try?"

Zhang Yuanyuan nodded, thought for a while and then asked in a low voice: "Well, what you said makes sense, but even if he manages Tang Jiusheng, the officials of Jiannan Road may not be convinced by him!"

Qiao Chongliang stretched out the fingers of his left hand, counted them with his hands and said: "We have eight counties in Jiannan. I summon the county guards to Luye City to report their duties. Is there anything wrong with it? When these county guards arrive in Luye City, as long as they are not my men,

, I detained him and replaced him with my people to take over the counties. The military attache did the same. Originally, Jiannan Road was under his rule. He replaced all the disobedient county guards and magistrates with his own.

Just people! As for the common people, as long as they have food to eat, they won’t rise up!"

Zhang Yuanyuan burst into laughter, clapped his hands and said: "Oh, Chongliang, I never thought of this. I really didn't realize that you could have such a bad idea! That's right, if you do it like this, the official business will definitely be solved.

Got it!"

Qiao Chongliang said: "But our Lord Niu now wants to be a prince. Back then, he watched helplessly as King Wei managed the government affairs of Anshu County well, and the people of Anshu became settled. The people as far away as Jianzhou County also

Seeing hope, he went to Anshu to sue Ye Tengjiao! But our Mr. Niu actually sat there and watched indifferently, until the Ma family in Changshi Town sent him a letter, informing the people of Prince Wei’s Mansion that he had been arrested

It was only after he killed Young Master Ma that he realized the seriousness of the problem, and then he thought of resisting! Isn't this stupid? What have you done before? "

Zhang Yuanyuan said: "Then you think Niu Mandi has no chance?"

Qiao Chongliang said: "It's too late now. Jianzhou has been captured by King Wei. It's difficult for us to capture Anshu. Yujiang has also been captured by King Wei's people. Now Jiangzhou, Huzhou, Xuantong, and Lianshan

The four regions also declared their allegiance to the imperial court and obeyed King Wei's orders. The eight counties in Jiannan, except for Luye City under Niu Mandi's own rule and Songshan County, which is his direct descendant, have all changed hands! How can we fight this war now?"

Zhang Yuanyuan still didn't want to believe that Niu Mandi was going to die, and asked again: "But King Pingxi has sent tens of thousands of troops to help him. How can two people work together to handle Tang Jiusheng? I don't believe it!"

Qiao Chongliang's mouth went dry as he spoke, so he simply put Erlang's legs down, took another sip of tea, and then said: "Think about it, King Pingxi didn't lead his own troops to commit suicide in Jiannan, right? That's because King Pingxi's soldiers and horses are now

Raising an army to rebel is not enough! Even if the two of them team up to capture Jiannan, they will definitely lose their troops! Moreover, King Pingxi is obviously unwilling to get himself involved at this time, so he asked his subordinates to pretend to be thieves and break into Jiannan.

South Road! More than ten thousand soldiers and horses may be enough to attack one county, but it will be a drop in the bucket in the entire Jiannan! Now that King Wei himself is in Jianzhou, how can the Palace of King Wei not do everything possible to protect Jianzhou?"

Zhang Yuanyuan forced a smile and said: "Even if Prince Wei wants to protect Jianzhou, it doesn't mean that Jianzhou is foolproof. At least before, Jianzhou was also a direct descendant of Niu Mandi. If someone in the city secretly opens the city gate, it's still unclear who will be killed.

!”

Qiao Chongliang was tired from sitting, stood up, walked around the tent, and said slowly: "King Wei will never give any chance to the men and horses on the ground, since he can seize the sword with lightning speed.

The state must have taken countermeasures in advance, so how could he use untrustworthy people to guard the city gate? I heard that Niu Mandi's fierce generals Ning Chenggang, Hou Jingxian and others surrendered to King Wei, but he still took them with him

If the soldiers surrendered, wouldn’t the soldiers outside the city surrender when Jianzhou cannot be conquered for a long time and when food and grass are low?”

Zhang Yuanyuan, who originally still had illusions about Niu Mandi, felt his hands and feet go cold due to Qiao Chongliang's words. Zhang Yuanyuan swallowed hard and said, "Chongliang, listening to your analysis, it seems that Niu Mandi has nothing to do. It seems that there is nothing left for Niu Mandi.

I have to make plans early, but if I just go over and surrender to Tang Jiusheng, how can he take us seriously?"

Qiao Chongliang said helplessly: "I originally thought that we would have an advantage after defeating Xie Pengcheng under Yujiang City and then negotiate with Prince Wei's Mansion, but I never expected that we would lose in the first battle at Yujiang City. This shows that there are indeed capable people in Prince Wei's Mansion, and

Our intelligence was not timely. Otherwise, if we intercepted the reinforcements from Prince Wei on the road and did not give him a chance to meet with Xie Pengcheng, how could we lose? In general, Niu Mandi played a pretty good hand

Damn it, if you think about it carefully, some things are just not as good as God’s decision! There is no future for following cattle all over the land!”

Zhang Yuanyuan turned around and looked at the charming woman on his bed who had been robbed from the road. Suddenly, he lost all sexual interest. Zhang Yuanyuan cursed fiercely: "Damn it, I thought I could do a great career by following Niu Mandi. Who knows?
Chapter completed!
