Chapter 495 Invincible

Chen Qingzhi led the white-robed army soldiers and horses into Jiujiang and arrived in Lingbi County. At this time, Jiujiang was already full of wars and Lingbi County had been occupied by the rebels.It is said that it is an uprising army, but it is formed by the common people who resisted Yuan Shu's forces.

When Chen Qingzhi's soldiers and horses arrived in Lingbi, it was almost dark, and the soldiers and horses were stationed outside the city. At this time, Lingbi's uprising army was developing. Pao Jun asked before the camp: "Where are you soldiers and horses?"

It is said that the Yanzhou soldiers and the Jiangdong Army did not commit any crimes against the common people, so these rebels dared to come up and ask.

When Chen Qingzhi got the news, he came out of the camp under the protection of Qin Qiong Luo Shixin, met several leaders of the rebel army, and said, "I am Chen Qingzhi, the general of Qingzhou, and I came to destroy Yuan Shu under the order of the governor of Kong!"

The rebels were overjoyed, they were just ordinary people, they didn't understand political struggle, they only heard that they were here to fight Yuan Shu, they were friends, they were friendly troops.

"It turned out to be the rebel army from Qingzhou. Qingzhou is far away, and you also came to suppress the thieves?"

Chen Qingzhi said conveniently: "Yuan Shu presumptuously proclaimed himself emperor and harmed the people of Huainan. He deserves death. I, Qingzhou, have been greatly favored by the emperor. I will attack Yuan's bandits even though they are thousands of miles away!"

"Good! Well said, it is imperative to attack Yuan Shu!" The leaders of the rebel army clapped their hands and praised them one by one, and Chen Qingzhi had become familiar with these people before he knew it.

Chen Qingzhi also inquired about the situation in Jiujiang. Although these were just mobs made up of common people, they were locals. Soon Chen Qingzhi figured out the current situation in Huainan.

In Shouchun, Yuan Shu spent a lot of time, and now the north and south were defeated. Yuan Shu recruited tens of thousands of strong men in Shouchun to protect his safety.Shouchun originally had [-] troops, commanded by general Chen Ji.

In the north, Zhao Kuangyin had already captured Lu, Chen, and Liang in Xuzhou, and now they are in Pei, which is adjacent to Jiujiang, relying on Zhang Xun to bring more than 1 remnants to resist.

And Sun Ce's Jiangdong soldiers had also attacked to the north of Lujiang County. The second general Liang Gang and Li Feng, Liang Gang had been beheaded by Sun Ce, leaving only Li Feng with more than ten thousand remnants stationed.

Chen Qingzhi frowned and said: "The situation is really not optimistic. Zhao Kuangyin and Sun Ce's troops are approaching Jiujiang now. They didn't lose many troops when they dealt with Yuan Jun. If they know that I am attacking Shouchun, they will definitely spare troops to stop them. I."

And the leaders of the rebel army asked: "General Chen, where did you get the food and supplies for your expedition?"

Chen Qingzhi shook his head with a wry smile and said: "I went out this time only to destroy Yuan and save the people in Huainan, and I am ready to go beyond Huainan. As long as I can destroy Yuan, I will leave it to fate if I can go back!"

After finishing speaking, Chen Qingzhi cupped his hands and said, "I still want to discuss the strategy of attacking Shouchun, so I won't say more!"

Chen Qingzhi, Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin and others returned to the camp. Luo Shixin looked at Chen Qingzhi, hesitated to speak, and finally said: "General, you are really not sure to take us back? Didn't you come to say that you have a way to deal with food and grass? Is it a problem? Why do you say that you have resigned yourself to fate?"

Chen Qingzhi smiled and said: "There will be food and grass, isn't the general already solving this matter? Someone will bring it to us later!"

"Send food, who will send us food?" Luo Shixin asked doubtfully.

Qin Qiong's eyes lit up and said: "The general is saying that those rebels will give us food and grass?"

"In this march, I have made benevolence and righteousness the foundation of my life, and I have preached to the people of Jiujiang and the rebel army that our army regards death as home! These people are eager for our army to destroy Yuan Shu, and they admire our army. Our army?" Chen Qingzhi asked back.

"It turns out that the general said to those rebels that it was for food and grass!" Qin Qiong suddenly realized.

Before the words were finished, some soldiers came to report: "General, those volunteer soldiers have brought food!"

Qin Qiong Luo Shixin was overjoyed, and Chen Qingzhi led the two of them out of the camp again, only to see outside the camp, the Lingbi Rebel Army was holding several carriages of grain and grass, and when they saw Chen Qingzhi, they all bowed down and saluted, shouting: "General Gao Yi, for my sake The people of Huainan regard death as their home, we have no use but to raise some food and grass to support the general! I hope the general will definitely destroy the Yuan thief!"

"General, we have sent people to inform the rebels along the way. General, you have died for us in Huainan. The people of Huainan have nothing to repay you, so let's raise food and grass for you!"

"If I have weapons, I will fight Yuan Shu with you!"

These uprising people just drove away the Yuan soldiers in the city, not a military organization.Only a few leaders have knives and guns, while ordinary people use hoes, harpoons, and most of them use sticks and other weapons.

Although the few carts of food and grass in front of us are not much, they are only enough for hundreds of people to last for a few days, but if the whole Jiujiang people's rebel army is like this, it is enough to support Chen Qingzhi's soldiers and horses.

Chen Qingzhi thanked the leader of the rebel army and returned to the camp. Luo Shixin said happily: "The general is really amazing. This can be expected. In this way, we don't have to worry about food and grass during this trip."

Chen Qingzhi nodded and said: "That's what I said, but don't forget how our food and grass come from, and benevolence and righteousness are the foundation of our life, so this trip must make sure that the soldiers will not commit any crimes, and all the gains from attacking Yuan Shu will be given to us in the future." The people of Jiujiang."

"It's the general!" The two took the order with hands in their hands, and went down to announce military discipline and restrain the soldiers.

On the second day, Chen Qingzhi led the army to set off and continue to march westward. At this time, only Qingzhou came from all the rebels. They regarded death as home and devoted themselves to destroying Yuan Shu for the people of Huainan. The common people were greeted by the rebels who ate pots of pulp.

And the white-robed army didn't save food and grass, they ate enough every day, and had to use their physical strength to cope with the upcoming battle.

At this time, Yuan Shu finally heard the news of Qingzhou's soldiers and horses in Shouchun. In Shouchun Palace, Yuan Shu was furious: "It's all the same, and Kong Rong in Qingzhou dares to send troops to humiliate me? Who wants to send troops to me?" I wiped out Qingzhou soldiers and horses?"

Chen Ji immediately cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the last general is willing to lead three thousand troops to suppress them!"

"Your Majesty, you can't. Qingzhou's soldiers and horses have defeated the Yellow Turban and Yuan Shao after these years. General Chen only has [-] soldiers and horses, so he may not be an opponent. What's more, the people in the city are restless now. If they send troops to attack, the city's defenses will be empty. , I'm afraid that longevity will not be guaranteed." Yan Xiang said hastily.

Yuan Shu's advisors, Yang Hong, Yan Xiang, and Yuan Huan, had been defeated in the past six months, and their strength was in jeopardy. Yang Hong kept persuading him, but to no avail, and finally died of depression. Seeing that Yuan Shu's defeat was imminent, Yuan Huan also fled Shouchun. , missing.Now Yan Xiang is the only one left under Yuan Shu's command.

Yuan Shu sneered and said, "The Yellow Turban Army is no more than a mob, and Yuan Shao is no more than a servant of my Yuan family. He is not worthy to carry my shoes. How can he be compared with my army? Chen Ji, you will lead three thousand troops to fight against the Qingzhou Army. Let the princes and the people in the city take a look, how can I be so easy to bully when I become a country!"

"Promise!" Chen Ji was overjoyed and accepted the order, leading three thousand soldiers and horses out of the city.

Chen Ji went all the way to the east, stopped after only a few tens of miles, called his confidantes and said: "Yuan Shu's defeat is imminent, so what if we defeat Qingzhou soldiers, Sun Zhao's troops will soon enter Jiujiang, and we will not escape death at that time. Why don't you go and seek refuge with other princes!"

When all the subordinates heard this, they all nodded in agreement, since following Yuan Shu was only a dead end, they asked, "Who are we going to rely on?"

"Now there are only Sun Jian and Zhao Kuangyin's troops on the north and south routes. Back then, Sun Jian was under the lord's command. We offended him. We went to the north without any good fruit to eat, so let's go to the north and join Zhao Kuangyin!" Chen Ji mused.

"Okay, let's go and seek refuge with Zhao Kuangyin!"

So Chen Ji took three thousand soldiers and horses, and fled before fighting Chen Qingzhi, and went to seek refuge with Zhao Kuangyin.But Yuan Shu was still in the dark, waiting wholeheartedly for Chen Ji's good news.

As Chen Qingzhi marched westward, the defenders in each city surrendered in anticipation, and Chen Qingzhi was able to come to Shouchun City unimpeded.After Chen Qingzhi's soldiers and horses captured the cities, they distributed the food and grass in the city to the people, and distributed the weapons to the rebels. There are quite a few soldiers and horses, and they are still growing, followed by nearly ten thousand rebels who have obtained weapons and armor!
Chen Qingzhi's soldiers and horses set up camp under Shouchun City. At this time, Yuan Shu finally couldn't sit still. Where is Chen Ji?Even if you lose, there should be a letter coming, right?

Yuan Shu panicked and came to the top of the city. He saw the white-robed army below the city, and there were nearly ten thousand rebels behind.

"I and Kong Rong of Qingzhou don't invade the river, how dare Qingzhou invade me and become a country?" Yuan Shu shouted.

"Yuan Shu, you acted in the opposite direction, arrogating yourself as the emperor, and making Huainan angry and resentful. Everyone in the world is responsible for your extermination. What reason do you have?" Chen Qingzhi countered.

Yuan Shu looked at Chen Qingzhi's white-robed army, and he didn't have any siege equipment, but he still had tens of thousands of young men in Shouchun City, with seven thousand soldiers and horses, so he was not afraid of Qingzhou soldiers and horses attacking.Yuan Shu breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm not afraid that Feng Da will flash his tongue. I, Shouchun, are here. Call in if you have the ability! Haha!"

After Yuan Shu finished speaking, he turned and left.And Chen Qingzhi's army also set up camp under the city.

Sitting together that night, Chen Qingzhi and Luo Shi said: "General, tomorrow I will send people to build ladders and trebuchets. Give me three days, and I will definitely win Shouchun."

Qin Qiong shook her head and said: "Shouchun City is strong and deep, it's not so easy to take down!"

Sitting in front of the case, Chen Qingzhi said with a sneer: "Although Shouchun City is tall and big, there are tens of thousands of my troops in the city, and it seems that our army has already captured it. Why do we need to attack?"

Qin Qiong was taken aback and said, "What? I have tens of thousands of troops in the city? Where did they come from?"

"Naturally, they turned back!" Chen Qingzhi shook his head and smiled, picked up a pen to write, and soon wrote a letter, handed it to Qin Qiong and said: "Copy ten thousand copies of this letter, shoot it into the city, and in a few days, Shouchun will destroy it without a fight." !"
