Chapter 156 Dreaming of Her

In the heart of the Central Plains, Lü Bocheng hadn't slept well for a few days. Read М

For some reason, the war was obviously very favorable to them these days. Wang Hu was surrounded by them and was almost out of food. As long as they surrounded him for a few more days and narrowed the scope, Chang'an would surely fall without a fight.

In the past few days, the army from top to bottom was waiting for Wang Hu to destroy himself.

He could finally breathe a sigh of relief. But for some reason, he had dreams every night these days, and the wife he had thrown in Fengting Town would always appear in his dreams. In the dream, the wife always looked at him with a face full of accusations.

In the dream, she seemed to be in pain and seemed to be suffering. He seemed to hear her say that she was so scared and she was waiting for him to save her.

For several nights, Lü Bocheng woke up from his dreams. After waking up, thinking about the unexpected events that Su Qingmei might encounter, his heart was like grass growing. He thought about her situation in a mess.

Now that the Central Plains is so chaotic, I don't know if my family is okay, and I don't know if she is okay.

He wants to take Chang'an back quickly!

When he takes Chang'an back, he will ask for a long vacation from Shang Feng, and he will go back to his hometown to see her.

Lü Bocheng turned his thoughts for his wife into full fighting power. The two armies of Cui Sheng and Mu Congke have been besieging the Qi army for several months, and finally victory is in sight.

Lü Bocheng led the troops gathered by Zhu Panzhen to the capital. Mu Congke led the Hedong Mansion and the Tuotuo clan to attack Chang'an from the north. Wang Hu personally led the army to fight at Weiqiao.

The Shuo Dynasty's official army and the Qi army fought three times a day, and the battle was extremely fierce.

Lü Bocheng, Cui Sheng, and Mu Congke all signed a life-and-death agreement in front of the Shuo Emperor, vowing not to return until Chang'an was taken. Influenced by the main general, the soldiers under him were also full of fighting power. They won many victories.

The Qi army led by Wang Hu suffered consecutive defeats. Seeing that Wang Hu was defeated, many other vassal states that were swaying with the wind also took the opportunity to attack Wang Hu.

The Qi army was defeated.

Wang Hu fought hard but failed, and evacuated Chang'an overnight. At this time, he still had 150,000 soldiers and horses. While evacuating, he ordered Wu Yan to lead 50,000 troops to continue to meet the enemy.

However, Wu Yan was also beaten by the Shuo army and retreated repeatedly. So he asked Wang Hu, who had fled to Caizhou, for help.

Wang Hu sent Meng Kai to support him. However, Meng Kai had a grudge against Wu Yan and delayed sending troops. On Wu Yan's side, he waited and waited, but Meng Kai's reinforcements did not come. He saw that his remaining troops were about to be annihilated by the Shuo army.

Wu Yan gritted his teeth and turned around to surrender to the Shuo Emperor with the remnants.

Cui Sheng and Mu Congke both told the Shuo Emperor that this person was not useful.

But Emperor Shuo had been overwhelmed by the successive victories, and he might have wanted to set an example for other Qi generals and many vassal states that were still wavering. He not only gave Wu Yan a Chinese name "Quanzhong", but also appointed him as the deputy envoy of Henan Zhongxingying.

Later, seeing that he had won two more battles, he was so happy that he appointed him as the governor of Xuanwu Army and gave him the whole of Henan.

Wu Quanzhong, after gaining Henan, expanded his power rapidly. He also gained the generals and soldiers who surrendered from Qi, and gradually became as powerful as Mu Congke, the governor of Hedong, and Cui Sheng, the governor of Fengxiang Prefecture.

Under the attack of the three armies, Wang Hu withdrew from Chang'an and fled to Chenzhou with his brave general Meng Kai and the remaining troops.

During the retreat, the Qi army abandoned the baggage and precious goods on both sides of the road to delay the pursuit of the Shuo army.

Most of the Shuo army soldiers were just ordinary people. Who would not want and be jealous of the precious goods abandoned on the roadside?

So along the way, the soldiers rushed to pick up the property, picking up and picking up, making a mess. The Qi army led by Wang Hu was no longer pursued, and Wang Hu was finally able to reorganize his army and leave.

As for Emperor Shuo, he probably didn't think much of Wang Hu and the tens of thousands of people he had left. When he heard that Wang Hu had withdrawn from Chang'an, he immediately ordered the camp to be moved. He was anxious to return to the capital Chang'an with a group of concubines and close ministers.

After entering the palace, he sat on the throne again, waved his hand, conferred titles on meritorious ministers, held a banquet for guests, and drank wine with everyone.

Lu Bocheng was also promoted to the fourth rank of Zhongwu General.

Wu Quanzhong was even more honored. This man was a little inflated. After receiving the reward, he held a banquet for guests at home, and also invited Cui Sheng and Mu Congke.

Cui Sheng and Mu Congke also readily agreed. There are good wine and food, free to eat once, don't want it? So they all led their subordinates to the Wu family for a banquet.

During the banquet, Mu Congke was drunk or something, and he also became arrogant.

He danced and shouted at Wu Quanzhong, calling him a traitor and a traitor. He was just a surrendered general and was not worthy of being on the same level with him. His subordinates couldn't even pull him down in time.

Wu Quanzhong felt a surge of blood.

His identity as a surrendered general was embarrassing, so he wanted to use this opportunity to hold a banquet and show his brotherly love with his colleagues. Unexpectedly, this idiot Mu Congke pretended to be crazy and called him a traitor.

Could Wu Quanzhong tolerate this?

There were so many girls looking at him during the banquet. Was his face meant to be stepped on?

He kept his anger until Mu Congke led his people back to Hedong Prefecture.

One night, Mu Congke led his people to stay in an inn. In the middle of the night, he was sleeping soundly with his concubine in his arms, and Wu Quanzhong sent someone to quietly set a fire in the inn, hoping to burn him to death in the inn.

Unexpectedly, Mu Congke was so lucky that it rained heavily just after the fire started, which put out the flames that Wu Quanzhong had just started. He escaped.

And this arson case on a rainy night also caused the feud between Mu and Wu.

It also caused Cui Sheng and Lu Bocheng to suffer many setbacks later.

Emperor Shuo returned to the court and slept in the palace with dragons and phoenixes for a few days with his concubines, and then began to settle accounts.

Those who had previously defected to the Qi army were appointed as the inspector and the governor by the Qi emperor. Naturally, they hid with their troops because they were so highly valued.

They began to hide in the deep mountains and forests. They were afraid that they would be punished by Emperor Shuo if they were caught.

A wild team also fled with the Qi army.

When they passed Renzhou, they found that Renzhou was unexpectedly more prosperous than some prefectures. So they stayed in Renzhou to replenish their energy for a few days.

Later, they were discovered and reported, and were expelled by the Renzhou governor appointed by Yang Bixin, the governor of Jiangxi Province, so they continued to flee with the team.

On the way, any valuables and beautiful women were also taken away. There were many bachelors in the team.

Su Qing'an was so unlucky that they were put in a sack.

When she woke up, her head was still dizzy and she vomited when she shook. She suspected that she had a concussion.

When she recovered, she was anxious to find Xiaobao. She found that Xiaobao was sleeping soundly beside her, and she breathed a sigh of relief. It's good to have her son.

As long as you are here, I am not afraid of anything.

Su Qingmei untied the safety traction rope from her and Xiaobao's hands. She was very grateful for it. If it weren't for this traction rope that no one could see, Xiaobao might have been thrown away halfway.

Su Qingmei looked around and saw that she and Xiaobao were being locked up in a wooden house with some messy firewood piled in the house. I don't know if it was a woodshed. The door was closed, with only a small window, and a few rays of sunlight were coming in through it.

Su Qingmei got up and walked to the window, leaning on the window frame and looking out.
