After summoning the generals and arranged military affairs, it was already the second day. Although Cao Bin was not tired, he still forced himself to lie on the bed with his clothes. If he wanted to maintain his energy, he would have to have a good rest. These days, he has been chasing Dai Yue all the way, and the other party was in a mess, but Cao Bin was also exhausted both physically and mentally.

Fortunately, it's finally over.

Finally, I can't compare to when I was young. I thought that the more I was before the war, the calmer I was, and I could fall asleep when I fell down, and I could get on the horse when I woke up. Now, I want to sleep and can't fall asleep.

The current situation is difficult.

This is Cao Bin’s most real feeling.

The third highman entered Chang'an, and everything seemed to be going well, but the overall situation worsened. The brothers suffered internal strife, but what they lost was Daliang's strength. As one of Zhu Wen's confidant generals, Cao Bin was heartbroken about Zhu Wen's death.

No one expected Zhu Youyu to do this fierce move, which also allowed Jing Xiang's painstaking and smooth transition plan to die. Cao Bin thought that if Zhu Youzhen took a step back, the situation would be better, but after thinking about it for a while, he finally shook his head and rejected this idea.

If you don’t talk about others, Xu Fu will never agree.

Even if you are yourself, how can you tolerate a father-killer who will be on the throne of Chang'an?

If you can take down Gunhai, or you can still take a breath. Cao Xuan lost the balance, which was expected. The balance was hanging out and it was difficult to defend. Now Cao Xuan took the initiative to give up the balance, preserved his strength and retreated into Xuanwu. He joined forces with Zhu Chi to finally stabilize the situation in the Central Plains. Gunhai fell into his hands. In addition, Wuning, Huainan and Daliang still had an advantage in the Central Plains. Although it was in a passive state compared to the Tang army in the north, at least it could form a stalemate. If the situation in the south was opened up next, there was still great potential.

If you defend the land of Henan, defend it in Luoyang, Chang'an and others, fight against the Tang army, and concentrate your efforts to manage the south, you may still have a try.

Cao Bin, who was lying on the bed, was really thinking, and all kinds of thoughts came one after another. It was not until the fourth hour that he fell asleep in a daze.

At the fifth update, he woke up suddenly. Although he still felt tired and exhausted, Cao Bin still stood up and put on his clothes.

In the camp, smoke from cooking was curling up.

It was late in the winter, and the fire broke out at the fifth o'clock in the morning to make meals. When the soldiers had a full meal, it was brighter.

Countless smoke from cooking stoves steeped up, and Wei was spectacular. In contrast, although the city of Gunzhou was brightly lit, it was full of death. Cao Bin was extremely excited for a moment.

Dai Chao was indeed a master of his time, but Dai Yue was more talented than his brother, but he could only be called an ordinary person. Facing this person, Cao Bin was in his heart.

After breakfast and full of clothes, when the personal soldiers brought the war horses, there was a roar of drums and horns in the entire camp. The soldiers of the battalion lined up one by one, pouring out from each camp one by one, and heading towards the city of Gunzhou according to the military arrangements last night.

When it was dawn, tens of thousands of troops had arrived at the city of Gunzhou. After staring at the top of the city for a while, Cao Bin pointed to the whip in front of him, shook his fingers in front, and said in a deep voice: "Assiege!"

Countless war drums sounded, and amid the shouts, thousands of recruited surrendered troops, as pioneers, slowly advanced forward. Behind them were the elite Liang army commanded by Jiang Qi, who served as both the supervisory team and the reinforcements for the second wave of strong attacks.

There was also a loud drum sound above the city wall, and countless soldiers rushed to the city wall, waiting for the battle.

Fifty miles away from Gunzhou City, a long convoy was trekking hard on the road. This was the logistics supplies transportation of Liang's army. Cao Bin followed Daiyue and Gunhai in Shenzhou. The logistics supply line was getting longer and longer. The food transported from Wuning could not catch up with Cao Bin's pace. More food could only be raised on the spot.

The so-called on-site raising is of course a forced plunder and looting in the surrounding villages.

If the army has no food, the morale of the army will naturally be unstable. As the general official who raises grain, Zhou Bang commanded the next army about 2,000 soldiers, which was really vicious. Wherever he passed, the food tanks of the people in all towns and eight miles were scraped clean. The looted things were not just food, but as long as it could enter, they would be swept away completely. Even clothes and cotton wool were also needed. In such weather, soldiers were also needed to keep the cold. If they resisted, they would be immediately equipped with a knife and an axe.

As for the food and clothing that these ordinary people were robbed in such a severe winter, how to fill their stomachs and keep the cold, it was naturally not within Zhou Bang's consideration. He only had to understand that if he could not send these things to Cao Bin's army on time, what would be waiting for him would inevitably be severe punishment by military law.

As a former surrendered general of the Wuning Army, he was not Cao Bin's direct line. Cao Bin would not hesitate if he chopped his head.

Until now, he did a very good job, and Cao Bin was extremely satisfied with him, which made Zhou Bang very happy. When the battle was over, he might be able to rise again. Although his surname was Zhou, he was different from Zhou Qun. Zhou Qun had a great power in Wuning. After surrendering, he was also valued by Zhu Youzhen. As a soldier, he really had nothing to rely on except for military merits.

The road is muddy and difficult to move forward. After all, I have walked thousands of troops in front of me. No matter how good the road is, it will not look like now. From time to time, cars will fall into the mud and no matter how difficult it is to move forward, countless carriages and strong men will be blocked and difficult to move forward.

Waving the whip, he whipped heavily into a man's vest. A large piece of clothing that was already thin was suddenly pulled away, and a blood mark appeared on the man's backbone. The man groaned and knelt on one knee in the muddy ground.

"Pull it out, pull it out!" Zhou Bang shouted angrily and stepped forward. He whipped several whips one by one, whipping the merchants around the car that were stuck in the mud.

He couldn't find more big livestock, so he relied on human power to drag these cars. These mud legs were all bad bones. If they didn't punish them severely, they would dare to cheat you. Sometimes they would even deliberately trap the car into the mud so that they could have a good rest.

Sure enough, after being beaten up, several men yelled and gritted their teeth, shouted and dragged the car out.

Seeing all this, Zhou Bang smiled proudly.

It turns out that you can't beat it.

"Go away, I can't get to the barracks before dark today, and everyone has no food to eat!" he shouted.

Poor these tycoons who were forced to come, they only have one meal a day. If they are deducted again, they will be so heavy that they will die on the road tomorrow.

Seeing the stagnant convoy continue to move forward, Zhou Bang nodded with satisfaction, turned over the horse, took out a skin bag from the edge of the saddle bridge, raised his head and took a sip. It was naturally not clear water, but filled with wine.

This mission is still very good. While raising enough food and grass for the army, he also made a fortune. When the war ended, he bought land in Gunhai. After the war, Gunzhou would inevitably have a depressed industry and depreciated land. At this time, people like him were buying land locally, and those local people could only be flattered and could definitely take advantage of it.

It won’t take long to become a landlord like Zhou Qun.

Zhou Bang thought so.

"General Zhou, General Zhou!" A personal soldier next to him suddenly screamed.

Zhou Bang turned his head and glanced at the other party, but at the moment he turned his head, his eyes could no longer turn. A team of cavalry suddenly jumped on the horizon in the distance, and behind the cavalry, more dense soldiers emerged.

Cao Bin's army is ahead, where did this army come from?

Zhou Bang had just turned this thought in his mind, but his eyes had already seen the flying military flag opposite him. In an instant, he felt cold all over.

That was Tang Jun.

A sense of absurdity suddenly surged into my heart. How could the Tang army appear behind Gunzhou City? He wiped his eyes hard, hoping that he would be confused by his eyes.

Where is it so blurry? The enemy in the distance has begun to accelerate the charge, especially the more than a thousand cavalry in front, which is very close to him.

The sound of horse hooves and shouts are clearly heard.

With a snap, the wine bag in his hand fell to the ground, the wine flowed out, and the fragrance of wine was everywhere.

Thousands of civilians were in a mess in an instant, and they had already thrown away the ropes they were lying on their shoulders, and ran away to the distance.

"Don't run, don't run, circle the car, circle it, form a formation!" Zhou Bang drew out the knife, waved the knife and chopped several civilians passing by to the ground.

But his grain transport team was too long, and thousands of civilians continued for several miles, so where could he control it?

The civilians exploded like flies, and even the soldiers responsible for escorting were fleeing far away.

The Tang army cavalry roared over, but did not directly attack the storm of the civilians and soldiers. Instead, they walked around from both sides from a distance, and after a moment, they blocked the way of these people.

"Surrender to avoid death!"

"Surrender on the knees!"

The Tang cavalry rode their horses and howled. The civilians stopped roaring and immediately knelt down on the spot, raised their hands, while the Liang soldiers who were wrapped in conjunction continued to run away regardless of the situation. But in a blink of an eye, these people were caught by the Tang cavalry, stabbed by swords and guns, and killed them one by one.

Zhou Bang ran very fast.

But the people chasing him faster.

This Liang army escorted food and grass, basically consisted of auxiliary troops, with very few horses, which made the cavalry escaped extremely conspicuous and became the direct target of the Tang army's attack.

The sound of hooves behind him was approaching. Zhou Bang took his time to look back. Seeing a Tang army general flying like flying, the long spear in his hand flashed, and his soul was so loud that he couldn't help but burst into tears. He heard the sound of the wind. He waved the horizontal knife in his hand and slashed back hard. With a sound, his arm shook violently, and his hand lightened. The horizontal knife disappeared. Then he felt cold in his heart and knocked off the horse.

General Tang pulled his horse back and spitted his saddle, looked at the corpse in front of him coldly, and spat: "What's the matter?"
