The battle lasted from morning to dusk. There was no winner between the two sides, and both sides suffered injuries.

Qin Hu felt that if the fight between them continued like this, the emperor would starve to death in Liaodong.

But in his eagerness, he really had no way to break the city, so he felt very sad.

If the Taiyuan army was not so strong, it might be better. Yang Xuanting might relax his vigilance and give him an opportunity, but Li Yuanji is not easy to mess with either.

But Li Yuanji refused to attack the city. If this continues, it will be difficult to determine the winner. What should we do?

If Qin Hu directly ordered an attack on the city, what he was most afraid of was that the Li brothers would take his retreat and kill each other. Judging from their virtues, they should be able to do such a thing.

At this time, a scout came to report that there was a group of local warriors from Jizhou who had defected to General Qin. The leader was named Wei Zheng.

Qin Hu was immediately overjoyed and ran out of the camp to greet him.

"Little Marquis!" From a distance, Wei Zheng saw Qin Hu running out with his full beard and full shadow. Tears filled his eyes and his voice trembled as he spoke.

"Brother Wei!" Qin Hu ran over and gave Wei Zheng a hug.

"Little Marquis, you are really not dead. This is great. Some time ago, the brothers thought you had passed away. This is good, this is good." Wei Zheng wiped his tears and said, "I will say

Well, the young Marquis is a great man of his generation, so why would his life not be so short-lived? Well, that’s great.”

"Brother Wei, hurry up and talk inside. Your team -"

Qin Hu took a look and saw that there were two thousand people behind Wei Zheng. Few of them were wearing armor. Everyone, including Wei Zheng, was dusty and dusty.

"Oh, thanks to this gentleman."

Wei Zheng pulled a tall middle-aged man from the side and said with a smile: "This is Mr. Su Yong. He is from Wuyi in Jizhou. His hometown is not far from here. His family is quite wealthy. Last year, Zhang Jin said that he was raging and the government was unable to conquer it."

, he and his son Su Lie spent their family wealth and gathered thousands of township party members to protect the country and the people, and defeated Zhang Jincheng several times."

"There is also this little brother, his name is Su Lie. He is the son of Mr. Su. He is a young hero, brave and good at fighting. Zhang Jin said that since then, he has not dared to cross the border of Wuyi County. He is loved by the local clans and tribes.

.”

Qin Hu took a quick look and saw a handsome white-robed young man sitting on a white horse next to Su Yong. He was sixteen or seventeen years old and half a head taller than him. He was holding a spear, his eyes were bright, and his white horse was like a dragon. He was majestic.

, really like Changshan Zhao Zilong.

When the white-robed young man saw Qin Hu, he quickly got off his horse, knelt on the ground and bowed his head: "Su Lie, please bow down to your benefactor, may the young marquis be blessed with peace and prosperity."

"Please get up, your name is Su Lie, can you defeat Zhang Jincheng?"

"Su Lie, Su Dingfang!" Su Dingfang sighed and said, "It's a pity that I have few soldiers and couldn't kill the murderous demon Zhang Jincheng. I let him run away. Fortunately, he was killed by General Zhang Xutuo later."

Qin Hu held Su Dingfang's wrist tightly and said to himself, God is really helping me!

Su Lie Su Dingfang, Qin Hu remembered that when he was young, he once led two hundred cavalry to raid the golden tent of Tuque Khan. Because he captured Jieli Khan alive, he was named the Zhonglang General of the Left Guard Army.

Later, he stayed in this position until he was 64 years old, and never had the chance to lead an army on an expedition.

The reason may lie with Li Jing. After Li Jing captured Jieli Khan alive, he was impeached by Changsun Wuji, who accused him of committing plunder and was criticized by Li Shimin.

Su Dingfang was involved in this matter because he was Li Jing's vanguard officer. Later, he was frozen.

Of course, Su Dingfang once followed Dou Jiande and Liu Heitai for a long time, which may be the main reason why he remained unknown in the first half of his life.

However, gold always shines. At the age of 64, Su Dingfang took charge of his own work. He destroyed the Liaodong Kingdom and captured the masters of the three kingdoms including the Western Tuque Kingdom alive. He opened up thousands of miles of territory and created the most vast territory of the Tang Empire.

"Brother Dingfang, Mr. Su, please come in quickly. I was worried just now. It will be better if you come."

Qin Hu was overjoyed. He didn't expect to meet Su Dingfang here.

Su Dingfang was a dusty pearl. No one gave him a chance in the first half of his life. Otherwise, he would have been a young and successful hero, no worse than any of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion.

When they arrived at the handsome tent, Qin Hu personally poured water for them: "Brother Wei, I have always missed you. I know that you are providing disaster relief in Hebei and Shandong, but I just can't find you."

"Come, come, let's drink tea, drink tea."

Su Yong and Su Dingfang felt extremely comfortable when they saw that such a big man as Qin Hu was so courteous to a corporal and spoke in such a down-to-earth manner.

"My incident was so weird to mention. I didn't know how it happened at the time. When my head got hot, I fought for my life with the robbers and never mentioned it again." Qin Hu said with a self-deprecating smile.

"The young Marquis did the right thing. If it were me, I would fight with him. A true man acts with no regrets. The young Marquis has saved so many people with his own efforts. He is the hero that I, Su Lie, admire."

Su Dingfang's eyes were warm and he said enthusiastically.

Wei Zheng witnessed what happened at that time with his own eyes, so of course he had already told them about it.

"It just makes people who care about me worry." Qin Hu licked his lips: "Brother Wei, you came at the right time. I have a difficult problem now. You should all know it, right?"

Wei Zheng slapped his thigh: "That's why I came here. We were originally going north to fight Yang Gongqing, but we turned around halfway and here you are."

"How do you say that?" Qin Hu's eyes were bright and generous.

"You were wrong from the beginning." Wei Zheng said eagerly: "You shouldn't have come here. This Youzhou City is not so easy to win. On the contrary, Yang Xuangan in the Eastern Capital can easily be defeated."

Qin Hu took a sip of tea and said puzzledly: "Yang Xuangan has an army of 300,000 people, and I heard that he is very popular among the people. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to chew this bone for a while, so I rushed here."

Wei Zheng wiped his mouth: "This is because you don't understand the situation. If you understood the situation, you would never make such a mistake. Yang Xuangan's people are all refugees from Hebei and Shandong. In the hearts of these people, you, the little Marquis

With such a great reputation, they will never fight you."

"Secondly, the reason why Yang Xuangan has won many battles is because the officers and soldiers did not work hard. If the elite soldiers arrived, the mob would immediately fall apart."

"Thirdly, Yang Xuangan's counselors Li Mi, Li Zixiong, and Wei Fusi each have their own agendas and are fighting openly and secretly. He himself is indecisive and swaying from side to side. As long as we use some alienation tactics, we can easily defeat him!"

"But the opportunity has been missed." Qin Huwan said regretfully.

Wei Zheng said sternly: "It was a mistake. It would be better to go back now. Yang Xuangan could not dream that we would return from Youzhou even if he dreamed about it all his life. We set off overnight and moved forward quickly. We only need 5,000 troops. After landing,

, launch an attack immediately, break through his flanks, and within ten days, the rebels will be captured alive!"
