Qian Neng was mentally prepared, but his legs were still weak. He slowly walked to Wang Zhongbi's side, propped up the armrest of the Grand Master's chair and sat down. He turned to look at Wang Zhongbi and said with an ugly face, "Then what should we do now?"

In his heart, he had already scolded Wang Zhongbi bloody. If Xiong Wu was here, how could such a situation happen.

Withholding food and wages, withholding food and wages.

This is the result of exploiting soldiers.

But he didn't dare to fall out with Wang Zhongbi, and the more embarrassing the situation became, the less he dared. Only Wang Zhongbi could fight.

"There is no other way. The road has been cut off. Even if I gather all the soldiers and attack Wang County and Pinghai County, I am afraid I will not be able to break the city. I will not be able to save Cao Ting and Hu Chong."

"Now I can only hope that these two people can persist for a while and buy me time."

"While I was sending people to recover the defeated soldiers, I was also deploying troops and generals."

After that, Wang Zhongbi asked someone to take a silk map, open it, put it on the coffee table, pointed to the remaining four cities on the map, and Shanhaiguan and said: "I have been defeated, and the morale of the army must have begun to turmoil."

"Cao Ting and Hu Chong will be defeated sooner or later. This will leave us with only over 50,000 troops."

"We abandoned other cities and concentrated our troops on Ke County, Ling County, and Shanhaiguan. These three strongholds formed a line. Maintain the retreat route and stabilize the morale of the army."

"There are more than 20,000 elite soldiers in Ke County, 20,000 elite soldiers in Ling County, and 10,000 elite soldiers in Shanhaiguan. In addition, you immediately send people to ask for help from the court to increase the strength of Shanhaiguan. If you have no choice, you can only abandon the entire Nanhai Prefecture and guard Shanhaiguan."

Wang Zhongbi's rotten ship still has three pounds of iron. This layout is to shrink defenses, increase troops, and increase one's own military morale.

There are many people. It’s safe.

Maintain retreat and food routes.

Qian Neng didn't quite understand, he just felt like his head was buzzing. There was still a battle ahead, but Cao Ting and Hu Chong were abandoned?

Of the six county towns in Nanhai Prefecture, only two are left?

This success or failure is too great.

"Is this really the only way to go? Can't the two generals Cao Ting and Hu Chong rescue one or two?" Qian Neng raised his head and asked with difficulty.

"I can't save him anyway. If you dare to save him, I will give you 10,000 elite soldiers. Go ahead and save him." Wang Zhongbi sneered and said.

Qian Neng suddenly had nothing to say and asked me to go. Isn’t this feeding meat to tigers?

He stood up with an ugly face and went to do his business according to Wang Zhongbi's words.

Immediately, Wang Zhongbi began to issue general orders, and everyone retreated according to the plan. For a time, the entire Nanhai Mansion was in a state of trembling.

.........

morning.

The sun was scorching, there was no wind, and it was very hot and muggy. Wu Nian led his soldiers along the road and finally reached Wanghai Mountain.

"Hey!" Wu Nian tightened the reins of his horse, stopped his horse, and looked up in the direction of Wanghai Mountain. There were a series of camps at the foot of the mountain, guarding the road.

This place is a good place. When Feng Chong captured this place, he had the foundation of Guangchuan Mansion. A smile appeared on his face, and he galloped again and arrived in front of the camp gate.

Zhang Jin and Liu Wu led ten thousand households under their respective command and lined up in two rows to welcome Wu Nian. Everyone was very excited.

Nothing makes them happier than Wu Nian being alive.

"Brother, I didn't expect you to be alive. I thought." Zhang Jin didn't hold back and didn't call the general. Instead, he stepped forward and gave Wu Nian, who had just gotten off his horse, a big bear hug.

The two met on Phoenix Mountain, and after a lot of twists and turns, they rolled up their sleeves and started doing big things together. They have been doing this for many years.

Come in the wind and go out in the fire. This journey is really not easy.

Zhang Jin is a tough guy, but his eyes are red.

These are real brothers.

Wu Nian felt moved and ashamed at the same time. He hugged Zhang Jin and said loudly: "Brother, I have made you worry. But I promise, your worry will not be in vain. This Nanhai Mansion belongs to us."

"I firmly believe it." Zhang Jin nodded heavily and said loudly.

After the two brothers hugged each other for a while, they let go of each other. Wu Nian came to Liu Wu, stretched out his right fist, and punched his chest.

Liu Wu's eyes turned slightly red, and he took a deep breath to stop the tears that were about to burst out.

"That's the end of reminiscing about old times. Brothers." Wu Nian held his head high, looked at the thousands of households in front of him, and said loudly: "I believe you are ready. Send troops immediately to attack Huping County."

"yes."

Zhang Jin, Liu Wu and the thousands of households present responded in unison. Immediately, they sent out a large army, pulled out the heavy baggage vehicles that had been prepared, surrounded Wu Nian, and headed for Huping County.

Huping City.

This city has been managed by Zhang Jin for a long time, but before Zhang Jin left, he took away or destroyed many defensive materials, making the city's defense relatively weak.

There were many common people and officials who left with Zhang Jin. They would rather follow the "dead" General Fu Han in Wu Nian than follow the Chu State.

As a result, this city has a very small population and is deserted.

But the soldiers on the city were in high spirits and heavily guarded.

On the city gate, a banner with the word "Chu" swayed in the breeze.

"Da da da!!!!" There was a rapid sound of horse hooves, and then five fast horses galloped over and stopped in front of the city. The knights on the horses fought with the defenders on the city before successfully entering the city.

.

Soon after, in a large house in the city, Cao Ting summoned his generals and sat together to discuss.

"There is news from the front. Wu Nian is not dead, and has arrived at Wanghai Mountain in person. Liu Wu and Zhang Jin's elite soldiers from ten thousand households have been gathered together, and they are heading straight for our Huping County."

"Our rear areas, Wang County and Pinghai County, are occupied by the cavalry led by Feng Chong. Now we are surrounded by vicious tigers in advance and hungry wolves in retreat. Do you have a way to get out of trouble? Or defend the city?"

Cao Ting's face was extremely ugly and he said in a deep voice.

His official position is that of guerrilla general, which is on the same level as Guan Jinhan. However, there is a certain gap between the two sides in terms of ability and force.

Now he was so disorganized that he could hardly think.

Special code. Isn’t it agreed upon? Isn’t it agreed upon that Wu Nian is dead? Isn’t it agreed upon that the civil and military forces of the Fu Han General’s Palace will have a head-on confrontation with the Meng Yuan people, and we will take advantage of the situation in the rear to seize the Guangchuan Palace?

Not as promised.

Is this victory easy to achieve?

In the blink of an eye, it turned into this?

Cao Ting tightly grasped the armrests of the Grand Master's chair with both hands, and veins popped out on the backs of his hands.

And the generals under his command were not much better. All their expressions changed drastically and they were frightened.

The room fell into despair for a moment.

At this moment, a man stood up generously and said loudly: "Generals. Generals. There is an idiom, which is called the burning cauldron and the sinking of the boat. There is also an idiom, which is called a last-ditch battle."

"Although things are urgent and critical now, it is not yet certain that he will die. Who does Wu Nian mean to him? In his early years, he was just a small flag officer, leading three hundred elite soldiers to start his own business."

"I'm not afraid of him. Please let me recruit eight hundred warriors in the city, all wearing double armor and holding spears. When Wu Nian's army approaches the city and his footing is unstable, he goes out to kill the enemy. The general leads his elite troops in the city, waiting for an opportunity.

As long as we have Han Xin and Xiang Yu's determination, it will not be difficult to defeat Wu Nian."

This person has a Chinese-character face, a tall and majestic figure, and is not angry or majestic. His voice is loud, sonorous and powerful, and his momentum is extraordinary.
