The letter king Zhao Zhen was once again taken aback by the sudden statements of the two of them. Suddenly, he had been hiding behind everyone, and the silent Yao Da also said, "Subordinates agree."
"Uh." In a blink of an eye, all four counsellors under King Zhaozhen expressed their opinions, and they were completely contrary to King Zhaozhen's own thoughts. King Zhaozhen couldn't help but laughed bitterly. Fortunately, he just didn't express his opinion first, otherwise, This person just lost his hair. Immediately, the letter king Zhao Zhen temporarily pressed down on the crazy thoughts in his heart, and then asked: "Everyone agreed to take the Guiyang Army first. What's the reason for this?"
Fu Xuan looked at each other and laughed, but Yao Da immediately shrank back, as if he had never made a sound. It was Elder Wu who answered the question of Wang Zhaozhen. After all, he was the first to put forward the opinion. Before Wang Zhaozhen, Wang also asked him. Elder Wu bowed to the crowd and said, "Master. The reason why the subordinates believe that the Guiyang Army should be taken first is that the Guiyang Army is stronger than the Wugang Army, and the Guiyang Army controls the Jinghu South Road leading to the east and west. In order to facilitate the control of the throats of the two sides, the Zhao Gou imperial court deployed elite soldiers in the Guiyang Army. On the other hand, the Wugang Army, the majority of the Wugang Army’s forces are ethnic minorities, with the Yao ethnic group the most. However, the Wugang Army is a minority. The generals of the ethnic group have always been at odds with the Han Chinese officers and soldiers, and they believe that General Yang Zaixing, the leader of the Sixth Army under the account of the king’s army, has a high prestige among the minority groups in the Wugang Army. If the Guiyang Army is captured by our army, add General Shang Yang's persuasion to surrender, the land of Wugang Army will be completely surrendered."
Xin Wang Zhao Zhen nodded, and now the Han army of Wugang army and the army of ethnic minorities are in the same situation. As long as the main force of the Guiyang army is defeated, coupled with Yang Zaixing's message, as long as the minority leaders are not fools, they will definitely surrender to the letter king Zhao Zhen.
The letter king, Zhao Zhen, coughed a few times, and said with a serious face: "The advice of a few gentlemen is very reasonable. Then we shall proceed according to this method. There are also generals, since we have set the goal, we have to invite you all. After the general returns, make preparations. Seven days later, we will go out and attack the Guiyang Army."
"Yes." Everyone stood up, bowed to the letter king Zhao Zhen, and shouted in unison.
After dealing with these matters, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen waved his hand and signaled everyone to retreat, but Xin Wang Zhao Zhen didn't care about everyone, turned his head and walked back, and went straight to the study in the backyard. Not long after entering the study, I heard the guard Wang Ji shout outside the study: "Master, Master Yao, please see me."
"Well, let him in." Xin Wang Zhao Zhen's subordinate called "Master Yao", and only Yao Da is alone. For Yao Da's sudden visit, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen didn't feel surprised. His expression naturally responded and he asked Wang Di to bring Yao Da in. Xin Wang Zhao Zhen himself sat directly above the study.
Soon, the door of the study room opened with a creak, and Yao Da took small steps and walked in quickly. Behind Yao Da, Wang Di was standing at the door, not forgetting to close the door of the study. After Yao Da came in, he took two steps forward and bowed down to the faith king Zhao Zhen and shouted: "Subordinates join the lord."
"Yeah." The letter king Zhao Zhen said lightly: "Mr. Yao, I don't know what I entrusted you to do. How are you doing it now?"
The letter king Zhao Zhen did not let Yao Da get up, so Yao Da naturally did not dare to raise his body, so he knelt there and said to the letter king Zhao Zhen: "Return to the lord. The manpower required, his subordinates have asked General Liu Zheng and General Wang Yun to come. Yes. The entire organization has started to operate. Thanks to the Lord’s blessing, the current situation is still very smooth."
"Get up and talk." Xinwang Zhao Zhen still said lightly after sitting down. "Master Xie." After thanking the King of Letters, Yao Da stood up directly from the ground. Although his official robes were covered with dust, he did not dare to take pictures. Instead, he bent down and bowed his head and said to the King of Letters Zhao Zhen, arching his hands: " Lord. We have mastered the strength of the Guiyang Army. At this time, the Guiyang Army’s army has very few battles, so their combat effectiveness may not be very strong."
The seven days of preparation time passed quickly. After thinking about it again and again, Xin Wang Zhaozhen decided to personally lead the troops to preside over the west expedition this time. It's not that I couldn't believe in the abilities of these generals under his own hands. The main reason was that Wang Zhao Zhen had to do some other things, so he had to go personally.
The soldiers and horses of Xinwang Zhaozhen's west expedition are also delineated. As the first general under Xinwang Zhaozhen, General Shan Hongfei is the vanguard of Xinwang Zhaozhen's west expedition. The officers and generals, such as Zhao Yun, Huang Yunfei, and Wang Hu who were not able to participate in the Eastern Expedition last time, also set off with Xin Wang Zhao Zhen. The remaining generals stayed in Wugong Mountain. Wang Zongshi and Wang Lao Er were sent directly to the Linjiang Army Water Village to train the navy. Traveling with him were the Wugong Mountain general Shicheng who surrendered last time and a navy under him.
Lin Yuhu and Elder Wu were sent to Wugong Mountain. Although Longquan Army leader Peng You suffered a defeat in Wugong Mountain last time, according to intelligence, Longquan Army leader Peng You has defeated Jishui's officers and soldiers. With the character of Peng You, leader of the Longquan Army, he might come to Wugong Mountain to avenge him. Besides, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen has to be careful about whether Ying Xuan and Xia Cheng will take the opportunity to send troops to Wugong Mountain, so this Wugong Mountain must be guarded. As for Ji Qianqian, this time she is still serving as a staff officer with the army next to Xinwang Zhaozhen.
After everything was prepared, General Shan Hongfei led the 5,000 pioneers to set off from Chaling City, and the king of faith, Zhao Zhen, led the remaining 20,000 horses to follow.
A day's time from Chaling City, even if it reaches the border of Yongxing City. After General Shan Hongfei marched hurriedly, the first city he would encounter was a small city named Lushui.
Liaoshui’s defending Song Army only had more than 400 people, and even the defending general was an unknown pawn. General Shan Hongfei, the first general of Jinghu North Road, attacked such a city with ease. As soon as he arrived in Lushui, General Shan Hongfei didn't even need to rest, and directly led his troops to attack Lushui City. And the fierce general who defended the city even dared to go out of the city without knowing it, but was slashed by General Shan Hongfei, and all the defenders of Yushui City surrendered. In this way, General Shan Hongfei can also be regarded as a good start for Xin Wang Zhao Zhen's west expedition.
After conquering Lushui City, General Shan Hongfei only took a rest in Badong, and on the same day he marched non-stop towards his next goal, which was the first city to guard the northeast of Guiyang Army--Yongxing City.
After a short rest for one night, early the next morning, General Shan Hongfei led the five thousand vanguards and rushed to the Yongxing City for a battle. Although there were more than a thousand more defenders in Yongxing City than the vanguard of General Shan Hongfei, General Shan Hongfei, who was the number one general on North Jinghu Road, was not at all worried or afraid. I saw General Shan Hongfei dressed in silver-gray armor, a bright red horse under his hip, holding a blue dragon sword in his hands, and carrying a giant iron bow and a barrel of quiver on his back. Zongma walked at the forefront of the Shimen Army, and the two tigers behind them each held a flag with the word "Martial Arts" written on one side and the word "Single" on the other. They were the banner of General Shan Hongfei.
In the city of Yongxing, the guard Jia Shanpeng, who had learned of the enemy’s coming from yesterday, had already led the defenders to the pass early, stroked the beard at his chin, and narrowed his eyes into a slit. , Staring at the figure of General Shan Hongfei in the front of the enemy army.
Looking at the majestic Yongxing City ahead, and the densely packed guards of officials, General Shan Hongfei looked straight ahead and shouted to the messenger behind him: "Beat the drum, call the battle!"
"Who came? Why did you offend me at the border of the Guiyang Army." Jia Shanpeng, who was shutting down, shouted directly at the army that was approaching outside the city.
General Shan Hongfei waved his hand and stopped the army behind him, looking at Jia Shanpeng who was closed, his eyes narrowed, and he shouted: "I am the general Shan Hongfei under the head of Wugong Mountain of Chu Kingdom. You and others are Han Chinese and foreigners. Invading, but sitting back and watching the insurgents take the lead. Now Zhao Gou sees the Golden Soldiers, it's like a dog in the mourning family. Now the Golden Soldiers invade, and the nation is in peril. We are here to calm the troubled army, stabilize the situation, and fight against the gold. I'm a river and mountain." General Shan Hongfei's remarks have been discussed a long time ago. Whether it is right or wrong, they must hold this'together against gold and return me to rivers and mountains! 'It's righteous.
"Wugong Mountain Army? General Shan Hongfei?" The name of General Shan Hongfei, Jia Shanpeng has naturally heard of it, but Jia Shanpeng did not expect that Wugong Mountain would send troops to Guiyang Army. Regarding General Shan Hongfei's statement, Jia Shanpeng couldn't help but feel darkened.
Seeing the Jinbing invasion, Zhao Gou blindly fled, causing many generals to resent. Although Jia Shanpeng didn't quite agree with Zhao Gou's practice of running away blindly, as a courtier, Jia Shanpeng could not go against the will of his superiors.
"General Shan Hongfei? Is that General Shan Hongfei who is the first general on Jinghu Lake Road?" Behind Jia Shanpeng, a middle-aged general suddenly asked. This middle-aged general is also self-confident with a bit of brute force, is arrogant, and is extremely hostile to Jia Shanpeng, who is in charge of the city's military power.
Hearing the words of the middle-aged general was not polite. Although Jia Shanpeng was a little annoyed in his heart, he still resisted not showing it. He just nodded and said in a deep voice: "It should be him. In the Wugong Mountain Army, except for that Apart from General Shan Hongfei, no one dared to pretend to be this name."
"Hahahaha!" Hearing Jia Shanpeng's answer, the middle-aged general immediately laughed up to the sky, with a confident look on his face, and shouted: "Okay! Alright! It is really Shan Hongfei who came here. It's really too good. Well, a certain family has long heard that this general Shan Hongfei is the No. 1 general in Jinghu Lake. The martial arts of a certain family has never been worthy of him. Now there is no way to hell, he actually sent him to the door, how good But here. Come! Let's go out and meet." After that, the middle-aged general turned around and was about to go down. He didn't put Jia Shanpeng's head boss in his eyes at all.
"Ah! No." When Jia Shanpeng heard this, he was shocked and ran to the front of the middle-aged general. He stretched out his hand to stop him and shouted: "Since General Shan Hongfei can have such a big name. Head, must have a certain ability. We are stationed in Yongxing City by the orders of our superiors. We have a heavy responsibility and cannot leave the customs easily. If Yongxing City is lost, then we will have no face to go back."
"Huh." The middle-aged general was displeased with Jia Shanpeng. At this moment, Jia Shanpeng stopped him. The middle-aged general's face sank and he shouted angrily: "Jia Shanpeng. If you are timid and fearful, don't bother me? Not to mention that. Is General Shan Hongfei really capable? Look at the Wugong Mountain Army outside the city. There are only more than 5,000 people. It is not as large as the soldiers in our city. If we don't go out to fight, don't we have to miss the fighter?"
"No." Jia Shanpeng said and refused to agree. Although he had never seen General Shan Hongfei before, judging from the momentum of General Shan Hongfei he just saw, it is definitely not comparable to ordinary generals. Don't look at this middle-aged general with a deep background and usually arrogant, but Jia Shanpeng knows the ability of the middle-aged general very well. He wants to go out and compare with General Shan Hongfei, it is no different from sending him to death.
However, in the presence of the middle-aged general, Jia Shanpeng couldn’t say it straight. He just shook his head and shouted: "Yongxing City is the gateway to the Guiyang Army. We must proceed with caution. I am the defender of Yongxing City. You are just a lieutenant, you You must listen to my orders, or you will violate the military order and be dealt with by military law."
"Jia Shanpeng." The middle-aged general sneered, but he was not afraid of Jia Shanpeng's words and shouted coldly: "Don't move, just use your position to suppress me. Don't forget, I'm here on the order of an adult. Yongxing City. Don’t you remember what the lord’s envoy said to you that day. Even if you are the main general and I am the lieutenant general, I will be in charge of all matters, big and small. Jia Shanpeng. Do you have to violate it now? If you want to ask the sir?"
"You." Although Jia Shanpeng moved out of the military law, it is a pity that the middle-aged general did not buy it and moved out of his superiors. Jia Shanpeng couldn't help it now. The rank of recruits and envoys was much higher than that of him, and it was obvious that the middle-aged general and himself were close to each other in front of the governor. Now if Jia Shanpeng continues to stop the middle-aged general, then the middle-aged general will definitely be advancing slanderously in front of the governor. Jia Shanpeng has fallen out of favor. If he offends the governor again, although Guiyang's army is big, there is no place for him. .
Gritting his teeth, in the end, Jia Shanpeng still chose to compromise, took a deep breath, and sighed: "Since you insist on going out, then I will go to fight together. If you refuse to agree, then even if it’s Master Cishi himself today, I will not agree to let you go out to meet the enemy." This is already Jia Shanpeng's final bottom line. If the middle-aged general still refuses to agree, then Jia Shanpeng will only risk offending the governor to stop the middle-aged general.
To tell the truth, the middle-aged general really didn't want to agree to Jia Shanpeng's request. From the view of the middle-aged general, Jia Shanpeng made it clear that he had to divide his credit. But seeing Jia Shanpeng’s very firm expression, the middle-aged general also knew that it was impossible for Jia Shanpeng to take a step back. The middle-aged general immediately snorted and took a step back. . I can warn you, don’t get in the way of me. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being unsympathetic." Then, the middle-aged general stretched his hand to the side, and his own soldier sent him to the middle-aged general. Weapon, a pair of watermelon hammers. After receiving the double hammers, the middle-aged general also danced with both hands, which was considered a mighty vigor.
The strong wind caused by the pair of watermelon hammers blew on Jia Shanpeng's face, making Jia Shanpeng's expression more gloomy, and his heart was full of disdain. Can it be possible to defeat General Shan Hongfei, who is known as the number one general on North Jinghu Road, with just this brute force? It's a joke. But since he was destined to go out for a battle, Jia Shanpeng's heart was not all scared, at least in Jia Shanpeng's heart, a fighting spirit was beginning to burn. General Shan Hongfei, the first general on Jinghu Lake Road. Let the big knife in my hand, Jia Shanpeng, test the power of your No. 1 general.
At this moment, General Shan Hongfei outside the city is leading the Shimen Army standing on the spot. Although he can't see the scene of the city wall, General Shan Hongfei who has experienced countless battles, relying on intuition, seems to have a feeling. The enemy army is about to leave. Therefore, General Shan Hongfei suppressed the commotion of the Shimen Army behind him, staring at the gate of Yongxing City with a deep voice. Looking into the distance, Shan Hongfei grinned, revealing a big die. In the previous battle, General Shan Hongfei was really not addicted, I hope the defender of Yongxing City will not let him down.
Sure enough, it didn’t take long before I heard a “squeaky yeah” sound from the front. The huge Yongxing city gate slowly opened. Nearly five thousand defenders were led by the guard Jia Shanpeng and the middle-aged general, the lieutenant general. Emerged from the gate of the city and formed a military formation directly in front of the pass. Jia Shanpeng and the middle-aged general rode a tall horse and stood in front of the army. The middle-aged general who was originally a lieutenant should stand behind Jia Shanpeng, but this middle-aged general insisted on taking a step forward and fighting alongside Jia Shanpeng. , And even faintly means more than Jia Shanpeng. Regarding the Yue Li of the middle-aged general, Jia Shanpeng was annoyed in his heart, but he was so helpless that he had not seen anything.
Seeing the enemy's exit, General Shan Hongfei chuckled, and immediately took a few steps forward, shouting: "Zhao Go's rebellious behavior. I'm in vain for Song Jiangshan. You waited quickly to abandon the secret and surrender. Otherwise, my army will be in control. , Kill you and wait for a piece of armor without leaving."
"Bold Shan Hongfei." It was supposed to be Jia Shanpeng stepping forward to reply, but the middle-aged general was one step ahead. He raised a pair of watermelon hammers, pointed at General Shan Hongfei and shouted: "It is clear that you are waiting for rebellion, but you dare It sounds so high-sounding. Don't gossip, let me take you." After that, the middle-aged general clamped his legs, drove his horse, and rushed towards General Shan Hongfei.
Facing the charge of the middle-aged general, General Shan Hongfei remained motionless, with a trace of disdain and sarcasm on his face. The middle-aged general looked at it, and his heart was even more angry, and he couldn't help but yell. He rushed to General Shan Hongfei in one breath, waved his double hammers, and slashed towards General Shan Hongfei’s face, vowing to chop off General Shan Hongfei’s nasty face. pulpy. But until the middle-aged general's hammer fell, General Shan Hongfei still stood motionless, as if he had been cast a centering charm. Seeing this scene, Jia Shanpeng at the back couldn't help but feel astonished. Could this general Shan Hongfei be defeated by the middle-aged general? Is this General Shan Hongfei really just a mere mere name
"Dang." A clear impact sounded, and as the dust gradually dissipated, whether it was the middle-aged general or General Shan Hongfei, the two men and horses were fixed in place, and the middle-aged general was holding both hammers in his hands. Pressed on the head of General Shan Hongfei. And between Shuanghammer and General Shan Hongfei's head, General Shan Hongfei's weapon-Qinglong Broadsword was lying horizontally. Seeing that the blades of the two hammers were only a few inches away from General Shan Hongfei's face door, the middle-aged general could not get the two hammers closer even if he had the strength to feed him.
General Shan Hongfei, who had been bowing his head, slowly raised his head, a cold light flashed from the corner of his eyes, and he saw the middle-aged general suddenly jump in his heart, and an inexplicable sense of fear spread throughout his body. General Shan Hongfei snorted coldly: "You have such a big tone, but you only have this ability?"
