Guo Huaiyi stayed at Zhou Pingchang's house for one night.
The next morning, Zhou Pingchang sent people to look for Wu Xian, Guo Huaiyi's steward. At this time, someone came to report that the army had attacked again last night. Wei Wang Liu Jinrong personally led his troops to reinforce, but he has not returned yet. Zhou Pingchang felt that Liu Jinrong was a bit too reckless in doing this and did not discuss it with him in advance.
At this time, Guo Huaiyi standing aside was very worried about Wu Xian's safety. Zhou Pingchang told Guo Huaiyi not to worry that he had already sent people to find him.
Although Zhou Pingchang has sent people to look for it, it would be more dangerous for Wu Xian to go with Liu Jinrong for reinforcements, but it is useless to worry now. Guo Huaiyi just hopes that nothing will happen to Wu Xian.
It is not easy to find one person among tens of thousands of people. Besides, the management of the rebels is relatively chaotic, so it is even harder to find someone. Guo Huaiyi had to wait slowly at Zhou Pingchang's house.
A few days passed and Wu Xian was still not found. Guo Huaiyi became more and more anxious day by day. At this time, someone came to report to Zhou Pingchang that "the king is back." When Zhou Pingchang heard that Wei Wang Liu Jinrong was back, he rushed to see him.
As for finding people, Zhou Pingchang told Guo Huaiyi not to worry too much. Wu Xian might be among the reinforcements brought back by King Liu Jinrong of Wei. Guo Huaiyi had no choice but to continue waiting.
King Wei Liu Jinrong was sitting in the hall. At this time, the courtiers standing below the hall looked a little downcast. Liu Jinrong led 50,000 troops to reinforce this time, but very few came back. Jiangyan County now only has 20,000 defenders. The rebels were completely defeated this time.
Because of Li Yong's meritorious service in this rescue, he was named the new General of Zhenbei by Wei King Liu Jinrong. Liu Jinrong also rewarded Li Yong with a lot of gold and silver jewelry. Li Yong was not very happy about this, thinking that the rebels would be defeated now. There is no point in doing this!
Zhou Pingchang was a little absent-minded when he returned home. Guo Huaiyi asked him what was going on. Zhou Pingchang said, "It's finished...the rebels are going to be finished." After hearing this, Guo Huaiyi's heart suddenly "thumped". Guo Huaiyi was not worried that the rebels were going to be finished. But he was worried about whether Wu Xian could come back alive.
Fortunately, Wu Xian was found in the end, but the imperial court's 100,000 troops had heavily surrounded Jiangyan County. Guo Huaiyi was now trapped in Jiangyan County and could not get out.
Wu Xian felt very guilty when he saw that Guo Huaiyi was in danger because he saved himself. Guo Huaiyi could only comfort him not to blame himself too much. This matter was not his fault.
The imperial soldiers and horses implemented a strategy of not fighting against the rebels. Wang Shijie was going to let the rebels in Jiangyan County run out of ammunition and food. It would be much easier to fight again at that time.
Surrounded by the army, the rebels have less and less food. Now the rebels can only eat two meals a day. Ordinary soldiers like Chen Haoyuan only have one bowl of gruel per meal. Senior generals like Li Yong can only eat two meals a day. They were given two steamed buns, and each time they would take out one steamed bun and give half of it to each of Chen Haoyuan and Fang Qi.
King Wei Liu Jinrong summoned all his men. Liu Jinrong informed everyone that the rebels would break out in a few days. Now only a breakout would have a chance of survival. Liu Jinrong rewarded everyone with a lot of jewels and asked everyone to work together to tide over the difficulties.
The next day, Liu Jinrong privately called Shangshu Ling Qiao Tai and military advisor Zhou Pingchang together. Liu Jinrong told them that he was going to escape with them.
As early as the first time the rebels were defeated by Wang Shijie, Liu Jinrong knew that he was no match, so he ordered people to secretly dig a secret passage outside the city in Jiangyan County in case of emergency.
Liu Jinrong has always regarded Zhou Pingchang and Qiao Tai as his confidants, so he only called them together to escape this time. At this time, everyone has nothing to say. If you can run, then run.
However, Zhou Pingchang also wanted to go back and take his friend Guo Huaiyi with him, but Liu Jinrong rejected his request and said that the matter was done in secret and no one else could know about it.
Liu Jinrong also told everyone not to go back since they were here to avoid leaking the news. At this time, Zhou Pingchang was also helpless and could only hope that Guo Huaiyi would be a good person and have his own destiny.
Zhou Pingchang was secretly summoned by Wei King Liu Jinrong in the morning. Guo Huaiyi happened to be present at the time, but Zhou Pingchang did not come back until the second day. Guo Huaiyi felt something was wrong.
On this day, Wei King Liu Jinrong ordered his people to take out the remaining grain, let everyone have a good meal, and then announced to everyone that they would break out of the siege in the evening. The rebels were about to break out. Zhou Pingchang did not return home. Guo Huaiyi felt that Zhou Pingchang should be He would not come back, so Guo Huaiyi took Wu Xian outside.
On the way, Guo Huaiyi met Wang Hu again. Wang Hu asked Guo Huaiyi where he was going. Wang Hu's question stopped Guo Huaiyi. Now the rebels are about to break through. Zhou Pingchang still hasn't come back. Jiangyan County is surrounded and can't get out. Guo Huaiyi doesn't know where to go now.
Guo Huaiyi told Wang Hu that he didn't know where to go. Wang Hu thought that the rebels would break through, but Mr. Guo actually said he didn't know where to go.
Then Wang Hu said: Since you don’t know where to go, sir, why don’t you come with us? Guo Huaiyi asked Wang Hu if this was good? Wang Hu said that it was already this time and there was nothing wrong with it. In the end, Wang Hu pulled Guo Huaiyi and Wu Xian to go with him.
In the afternoon, the rebels in the city began to gather towards the south gate. The rebels were preparing to break out from the south gate at night. The convoy headed by Wei Wang Liu Jinrong had already set off, followed closely by the carriage of the prince Liu Zixing, followed by military advisor Zhou Pingchang and Shangshu Ling. In Qiao Tai's carriage, the last two carriages were occupied by Liu Jinrong's two most beloved concubines.
The attentive Guo Huaiyi noticed that the ruts of the four carriages in the front of the convoy were relatively shallow, while the ruts of the carriages of the two concubines at the back were deeper. Guo Huaiyi felt that there was something wrong with the carriage marks. Could it be that the four big men in the front were not as heavy as the women behind them?
There is also the fact that Zhou Pingchang has not returned home since he was privately summoned by Wei King Liu Jinrong. Until now, the rebels are about to break out and there is no news. Guo Huaiyi has always felt that something is wrong about this.
Judging from these two things, Guo Huaiyi guessed that there should be no one in the four carriages in front. Liu Jinrong and others should have escaped from other places long ago. Thinking of this, Guo Huaiyi felt even more worried and didn't know what to do next.
Wang Hu saw that Guo Huaiyi seemed to have something on his mind, so he asked, "Did Mr. Guo encounter any troubles?"
Since Wang Hu asked Guo Huaiyi, he told Wang Hu his guess. Wang Hu was quite shocked after hearing this.
Wang Hu felt that how could the king leave everyone and run away? At this time, the king should share the joys and sorrows with everyone! It can be said that Wang Hu admires Guo Huaiyi very much, so he still believes what Guo Huaiyi said just now?
Li Hu thought that this matter was not trivial, so he had to tell his boss Li Yong immediately. When Li Yong was the captain of thousands of soldiers, Li Hu was a commander under him. Now Li Yong is the general of Zhenbei. Li Hu has also been promoted. Arriving at Centurion.
Guo Huaiyi told Li Hu that even if he said this, Li Yong might not believe it. Li Hu felt that what Guo Huaiyi said was reasonable.
Li Hu has a very good relationship with Chen Haoyuan in private, and Chen Haoyuan is very smart and a good person. Chen Haoyuan is still very influential in Li Yong's team. Li Yong will basically listen to Chen Haoyuan's suggestions, so Li Hu Prepare to tell Chen Haoyuan about this first.
