Zhao Shan's cheeks twitched.
Jiang Yuhuang is a woman who really needs to be praised. When she faces Jiang Yuhuang alone, she must praise her.
Zhao Shan still said seriously: "Yuhuang, your task is very important, and it affects whether I can successfully eliminate Liu Fuquan. Go quickly, I am waiting for your good news on the front line."
Jiang Yuhuang smiled charmingly and said: "Your Majesty, wait for me and sister Qingxuan to come back, and then I will serve your majesty with sister Fengqing."
After saying that, she bowed and turned around to leave.
"Concubine, please retire!"
Ye Qingxuan also bowed and left.
Only Wei Fengqing was left in the camp. She had a direct lineage in the army. She took the initiative and said: "Your Majesty, I have gone to reorganize the army."
Zhao Shan said: "Go."
After Wei Fengqing withdrew, Zhao Shan stayed alone in the camp, thinking about the next arrangements.
When the sun reached high, the camp came to life, all the prisoners had been cleared away, and the army had been reorganized. Fang Weihu and Li Buyi came together to report that they could set off and further attack Liu Fuquan.
Zhao Shan no longer delayed and ordered the march.
The army entered Chenliu County in Yanzhou. Due to Liu Fuquan's defeat, they retreated all the way to Chenliu County, the seat of Chenliu County. Zhao Shan did not encounter any resistance along the way and advanced smoothly.
When Zhao Shan's army advanced towards Chenliu County, Liu Fuquan, Pan Gang, Yuan Jing and others had already arrived at the county seat.
When Liu Fuquan arrived at the county seat, he first summoned the major tribes in Chenliu County to recruit troops, and then forcibly recruited troops from the common people. In a short period of time, he raised a large amount of food, grass and equipment and made defensive arrangements.
He brought back only more than a thousand soldiers and horses.
After Chen Liu recruited troops, he quickly expanded to 10,000 troops.
In particular, the Chenliu and Zhang family, as the largest family, provided great assistance. The reason for this is that Zhang Tong, the patriarch of the Zhang family, serves as Liu Fuquan's minister of household affairs.
Only with the strong support of local wealthy families could Liu Fuquan gain a foothold in Chenliu and be confident of relying on Chenliu for support.
Otherwise, he would have withdrawn to Changyi County long ago.
In the county town, in the military camp.
Liu Fuquan arranged all the defensive equipment, troops, and sentinels, and arranged for people to notify Zhang Peng, the magistrate of Chenliu County, to discuss the matter.
Not long after, Zhang Peng entered the camp.
Zhang Peng is twenty-three years old this year, not very old. At this age, it is difficult for him to serve as a county magistrate. Not only do you need to have enough family background, you also need to have enough ability.
In the peaceful and prosperous times, it would be almost impossible, because there are too many people waiting to become officials.
Liu Fuquan had just proclaimed himself emperor and lacked talents under his command. He also gave many preferential treatment to the big family, so that Zhang Peng could directly serve as county magistrate.
Zhang Peng prides himself on being the direct descendant of the Zhang family and believes that he has a bright future. He even looks down on Zhao Shan, thinking that Zhao Shan is targeting the big family. Facing Liu Fuquan, he bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Zhang Peng, pays homage to your Majesty."
Liu Fuquan nodded and said, "Zhang Qing, there is no need to be polite. Sit down."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Zhang Peng thanked him and sat down, and said seriously: "Your Majesty summoned me, what's the matter?"
Liu Fuquan said: "I called you here to counter Zhao Shan's incident. All our current preparations are to defend Chenliu County, and there is no means of counterattack. As a member of the Zhang family in Chenliu County, you can't fight back against Zhao Shan." Chenliu County knows everything, do we have a chance to fight back?"
Zhang Peng frowned slightly when he heard this.
Defense is easy!
To counterattack Zhao Shan, sufficient strength is needed. It is almost difficult to do it with the current strength alone.
Zhang Peng shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, we have a small number of troops and it is difficult to handle it. It is said that a clever woman cannot make a meal without rice. Soldiers in the army are rice noodles. Without these soldiers, no matter how many ideas you have, it will be difficult to implement and implement them."
Having said this, Zhang Peng said seriously: "If there are enough foreign aid, it will be easier to counterattack Zhao Shan.
Liu Fuquan shook his head and said: "There is no foreign aid."
After saying this, Liu Fuquan was also very angry. From the very beginning, he arranged for people to contact Yuzhou Qin Feihu, Qingzhou Kong Shentong and Xuzhou Zhao Yue, but to this day there is still no news.
This made Liu Fuquan unhappy.
Everyone is watching on the sidelines. If he fails to hold on first, it will drag everyone down together, and no one will be able to have an easy time.
"Report!"
Just at this moment, a rapid shouting came.
A soldier ran in quickly, looking very anxious.
Liu Fuquan noticed this scene and suddenly became nervous and said, "Is it Zhao Shan's troops who are here?"
"No, it's not!"
The soldiers ran all the way, breathing a little quickly, but they quickly said: "Report to your Majesty, there is an army coming from the west, with a strength of 60,000. There are three banners of Qin, Zhao and Kong in the army, such as Yuzhou, Qingzhou and Reinforcements from Xuzhou. This army hid its whereabouts and suddenly appeared, and no one came to report the news."
Liu Fuquan was also a little surprised.
The three banners of Qin, Zhao and Kong must be related to Qin Feihu, Kong Shentong and Zhao Yue.
But there was no news from the rear.
Liu Fuquan was unsure of the attitudes of the three parties and immediately said: "Let's go to the tower to have a look."
After saying that, Liu Fuquan took Zhang Peng, Yuan Jing and Pan Gang to the west city and waited on the tower.
It didn't take long before a large-scale army emerged outside the city.
Big flags fluttered in the wind and made a hunting sound. When the distance got closer, Liu Fuquan noticed the characters on the flags outside the city. They were indeed Qin, Zhao and Kong, which were the flags of the three forces.
After a while, the army formed a formation outside the city, and a general rode out.
She wore a red robe underneath, armor on the outside, and her hair was in a ponytail. She turned out to be a female general.
The woman looked up at the city tower and said loudly: "Where is Emperor Xia? I am Kong Lingyue, the commander of the coalition forces. I am leading the coalition forces of Yuzhou, Qingzhou and Xuzhou to rush for reinforcements. Please ask Emperor Xia to open the city gate and let the three coalition forces enter the city."
Liu Fuquan took a closer look and didn't have any doubts in his heart. After all, there were 60,000 elites.
Judging by his attire and the team, he is not Zhao Shan’s person.
"Open the city gate!"
Liu Fuquan directly ordered the city gate to be opened.
He did not believe that the three-party coalition forces would dare to do anything to him, otherwise Zhao Shan could attack these people at any time if he captured Yanzhou.
The city gate opened and Kong Lingyue led people into the city.
When the 60,000-strong army entered the city, Liu Fuquan personally went down from the tower to greet them, placed the troops brought by Kong Lingyue, and took Kong Lingyue and the generals from the three parties to sit down in the Chinese army's tent.
Liu Fuquan was always sophisticated and did not rush to ask. He said, "General Kong, you have worked hard all the way. I will immediately arrange for people to bring you wine and meat to help you wash away the dust. We will talk about Zhao Shan's situation while eating. What do you think?"
Kong Lingyue looked cold and waved her hands: "No need, it's more important to talk about business."
Liu Fuquan was rejected, but he didn't care.
He observed Kong Lingyue up close.
The Kong Lingyue in front of her was in her mid-twenties, with an oval face, big eyes, a straight nose, wheat-colored skin, and a clean temperament. She was actually a beautiful woman.
Liu Fuquan's heart moved, and he suddenly found the direction to pursue again.
Kong Lingyue is good!
I just don’t know the relationship between Kong Lingyue and Kong Shentong.
Liu Fuquan calmed down and said, "General Kong wants to talk about business, can you introduce him to me first? Otherwise, I don't even know everyone's situation, how can I communicate with them?"
Kong Lingyue replied: "Emperor Xia, let me talk about myself first. My father Kong Shentong, I am here on behalf of my father."
"The chief general on the Yuzhou side is named Qin Cheng, who is the younger brother of General Qin Feihu. The chief general on the Xuzhou side is named Huang Danqing, and he is a general under the command of King Zhao Yue of Qi."
"Currently, I am the person in charge of military affairs in the army, and everything is subject to my arrangements."
"I came to Chenliu with an army of 60,000 people, and I also want to take over the army under Emperor Xia. All your soldiers, all the food, grass and equipment will be under my control."
Kong Lingyue asked: "What does Emperor Xia want?"
