Xiao County, the former county magistrate's mansion.

In the yard, Shi Pu frowned and lay on a bench. He was waiting for his maid, closing his eyes to rest.

The tooth general Guo Shaobin came hurriedly and bowed: "Master, the guards recruited by Pengcheng have arrived."

"Hmm" Pu suddenly opened his eyes and felt energetic. He waved his hand to signal the maid to stop kneading, sat up, and spoke, "How many people?"

"This is the first batch, with a total of 5,000 guards. Now rice seedlings are about to be raised, and the people are busy working. Even if we work hard from multiple parties, we have to have only these people."

"However, it may be better after the grains enter the warehouse and the transplanting of rice seedlings are over. It should not be difficult to recruit another 5,000 people." Guo Shaobin glanced at Shi Pu's face and explained carefully.

When Shi Pu heard this, his excited expression disappeared again, but his slightly frown stretched out and said solemnly: "Is there any news from Li Keyong and Zhu Wen?"

"As well," Guo Shaobin did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly said: "Li Keyong and others, with the Hedong Army as the main force, the Bianzhou Army and the Chenzhou Army as the two wings, took the initiative to attack Shangcai. Although Huang Chao can barely resist, he has suffered heavy losses. I am afraid he will not last long."

"Okay." This news made Shi Pu very energetic. He immediately stood up and continued to ask: "Did Huang Chao recruit any recruitment and return to help?"

Shi Pu asked Li Keyong and Zhu Wen's news, and Guo Shaobin guessed what he was thinking, but his ideals were full and reality was destined to be skinny. He saw him hesitating for a moment before saying, "It should be, but Shang Rang's army still has not moved, as if he was concerned about the abnormal movements in the direction of Yucheng."

"Yucheng?" Shi Pu was puzzled. What happened to Yucheng?

"Yucheng was occupied by a Hedong army. According to the news from the scout, this is a Yue cavalry of nearly 10,000 Shatuo people; if you still don't move, you will be raided by this cavalry once you move. Not only will Huang Chao not be able to increase his troops, but he himself may be left to the halfway." Guo Shaobin explained patiently.

"Bang, chuck" Pu suddenly heard this news, suddenly burst out, swept the tea set on the small table, he saw his face red, his chest fluttering violently, and he said furiously: "Bastard, the one-eyed dragon cannot die well, how dare he harm me like this."

No wonder he was so sad and angry. His enemy Han Zhi had already achieved great success, but he himself was trapped in Xiaoxian and could not move.

If reinforcements Huang Chao were allowed to leave, he could take the opportunity to raise an army to attack Han Zhi; even if he did not fight Han Zhi and returned to Pengcheng to make plans, it would be much better than staying here and being beaten passively.

But man's calculations are not as good as God's calculations. It is because Li Keyong lurked an ambush in Songzhou, which made Shang Rang dare not move lightly. Shang Rang could not move, and he did not dare to move.

"Where is Liu Zhijun, what are he doing?" After gasping for a while, Shi Pu finally suppressed his anger and turned to care about Liu Zhijun.

Chen Fan is foolish, and now there are only less than two thousand soldiers left, so he can't count on them at all, but Liu Zhijun can still look forward to it.

Looking at Shi Pu who was so angry that he was not satisfied, Guo Shaobin dared not hide it and immediately said: "General Liu is still entrenched by the Yellow River. Since Han Zhi led his troops there, the south bank of the Yellow River has become a three-legged tripod."

"Three-party confrontation?"

"Yes, no one dares to act rashly in confrontation between the three parties, and General Liu is the weakest and dares not act rashly." Guo Shaobin excused Liu Zhijun for a moment.

For Liu Zhijun, Li Xi is the enemy and Han Zhi is also the enemy. The three sides confront each other, Liu

Zhijun has the weakest military force and is easily targeted. He should have secretly withdrawn to Xiaoxian, but he has not, and he is still stuck in place and his attitude is hard to understand.

Such a move can easily arouse Shi Pu's suspicion. At this moment, Guo Shaobin, facing Shi Pu's inquiry, did not mention Liu Zhijun's ambiguous attitude, and what was not an excuse?

However, Guo Shaobin did not mention it. If Shi Pu thought of some possibilities, he could not blame others. Shi Pu could certainly have certain abilities to become a warlord.

He just thought for a while, his face changed colors like a marquee. After a long time, he said half-heartedly: "At this troublesome time, I hope he won't let me down. But it's fine, in this era, I have seen more ungrateful times, and I don't have more than him."

Guo Shaobin was silent when he heard this. He knew that Shi Pu was afraid of Liu Zhijun, but he didn't expect Shi Pu to look at the other party like this. What is Liu Zhijun in his eyes? Is it a leisure chess? What about himself?

However, he was destined to be able to hold this doubt in his heart and bowed again: "Master, how should we deal with the current situation?"

Shi Pu thought about it, and seemed helpless, and waved his hand and said, "Continue to train troops. Now we can only wait for news from Shangcai. No matter what the situation of Shangcai's battle is, this difficult bone that can still be solved by relying on us."

Shi Pu seemed to have plans, as long as Huang Chao was defeated, he would take the opportunity to attack Shangrang immediately. If he could annex Shangrang's troops, he would not worry about not being able to deal with Han Zhi.

——————————————

On the banks of the Yellow River, Xu Weijun camp.

Han Zhi reorganized the Insurgency Army and Cao Army, and renamed it Xu Weijun. This new army has now advanced to the bank of the Yellow River.

More than ten days have passed, and Li Hanzhi and Yang Shihou surrendered one after another. Whether it is the guards of the Grass Army or the soldiers of the Influence, they have been completely integrated into the new group, and the army's combat power has begun to be achieved.

Han Zhi was in charge of military discipline and had strict military disciplines. He was rewarded when advancing, and punished when he escaped. He even made the ground horses, chariots and horses, soldiers and chariots, soldiers and armors, and they were all happy and shared hardships.

The generals were divided into ritual generals, benevolent generals, strict generals, brave generals, trust generals, and use them according to the situation. In just ten days, the generals were created to create a "soldiers unite" momentum, and the soldiers were already in the form of a father-son soldier. The guards under their command seemed to be full of hope for their future.

In the military tent, Zhu Li sat in the upper head in the middle, with Han Zhi, Yang Zaixing, Li Hanzhi and others sitting on the left and right. Zhu Li said directly: "With our current military strength, if we want to defeat Li Xi, it will definitely not be worth the loss. Although we are all old soldiers, we are still short of getting along with each other. If you want to defeat Li Xi, you may as well propose it and discuss it together."

"Li Xi is a rat, the general needs to allow me three thousand Yue cavalry, and Yang will kill his head and offer it to the general." Yang Zaixing was very proud and asked for his orders with great confidence.

"Hmph" Before Yang Zaixing finished speaking, Li Hanzhi snorted coldly and bowed even more fiercely: "As long as the general gives his subordinates two thousand Yue cavalry, his subordinates will not kill Li Xi, he will kill his subordinates."

Since Li Hanzhi surrendered, he has not only been dissatisfied with Han Zhi, but also has a tit-for-tat confrontation with Yang Zaixing, and has the attitude of continuing the unfinished appointment again.

"Everyone retreats, Li Xi's elite troops are firm and the village is stable. How do you kill him?" Zhu Li was a little angry. Will these two bastards die if they don't fight for a day? They are not afraid of bragging.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Li sighed a little. Yang Zaixing originally had many

A good husband, as Zhu Li's only relative, even though he likes to show off his power and gossip, he will not talk nonsense. Now he has changed, alas.

Zhu Li glanced at Li Hanzhi, and Yang Zaixing's fierce fighting was all inspired by this person.

Li Hanzhi surrendered, and in order to avoid accidents, Zhu Li awarded him the title of a general of the Tooth Soldier. Now, Yang Zaixing seemed to feel the threat and started to confront Li Hanzhi.

When the two saw Zhu Li with an unhappy expression, they looked at each other, snorted coldly, and turned their heads together.

"Li Xi is Huang Chao's general, and he must have many elite troops under his command. Our army has been newly established and its combat power has not been determined. We must not be careless. We cannot confront each other head-on in this battle, but we can only take it smart." Zhu Li set the tone with a straight face.

As soon as he finished speaking, Han Zhi spoke, "General, we might as well make another bluff. Although it may not be possible to wipe out Li Xi, it is not difficult to defeat him."

Han Zhi was talking about the old god, but when he heard his voice, Li Hanzhi's face turned dark again. He turned his head, glanced at Han Zhi unkindly, and moved away quickly.

This guy was obviously still resentful of Han Zhi's fear of him. His reputation was ruined by Han Zhi's life. How could he have no grudges at all?

Han Zhi promised him a good future, but now?

Although Zhu Li gave him the title of a general of Tooth Soldiers, does Zhu Li have Tooth Soldiers now?

Even if there are only seven or eight temporary dentist soldiers, he is a big tooth general, but he is actually not much better than a commander alone. Is this what Han Zhi said about a good future?

From a member of the army who commanded tens of thousands of troops, he suddenly became a commander with a bareback. It would be strange if he was not depressed.

Now even the partial general Yang Shihou is better than him. Since Yang Shihou surrendered, he has been appointed as a partial general by Zhu Li, leading nearly 10,000 people, which makes him salivate and envious.

Although he was depressed, he was also very helpless. Yang Shihou was defeated by Zhu Li on the front, and the other party also saw through Zhu Li's confusing words. The ability he showed was naturally several times better than Li Hanzhi.

He was scared to the point of being in a battle before he could win. How could he compete with Yang Shihou?

However, no matter how depressed Zhu Li was, their primary goal now was to defeat Li Xi and clean up all the miscellaneous fish in Xuzhou first.

Han Zhi's words were exactly what he wanted. He immediately asked after hearing this, "How do you plan to bluff?"

Seeing that Zhu Li's interest was aroused, Han Zhi did not dare to neglect and hurriedly said, "The general can lead one to attack Li Xi from the front, with real swords and guns; his subordinates and several other generals each led one, each with a flag, with horses and horses, and those who had no horses, could ride donkeys, mules, and oxen confiscated, hiding in the dark, shaking the flag, running wildly, shouting, pretending to be tens of thousands of troops moving together, and cooperating with the general's appearance of encircling on three sides, it would definitely scare Li Xi away."

"Will Li Xi not doubt it? After all, how could we have so many troops shortly after we formed an army?" Zhu Li frowned and questioned.
