"Qingqi?" Xia Cheng stroked his beard, frowning and said: "If it's just Qingqi, there shouldn't be much danger. After all, cavalry is not good for siege. As long as our city can be guarded carefully. , Then it is considered that Qingqi has attacked the official army, so there should be a big problem."
Zhang Huaxuan also nodded in agreement with Xia Cheng's words, and said, "My lord is right. If Zhao Yan really sends Qingqi to invade Fuzhou and Xinzhou, then he should be just for the purpose of sneak attack. Of course, all this is just for the purpose of attacking. Guess, it is not entirely certain that Zhao Yan will send Qingqi out. For safety reasons, I believe that some people should be sent to Fuzhou for defense. Well, my lord, let General Yang Lin and General Wang Kang go to the official army for defense. In addition, Master Zhang Sailiang can be made to accompany the army to the official army."
Since he was already elected as the commander of the army by everyone, Zhang Huaxuan also started to arrange it with his own will. After all, Hongzhou and Fuzhou are the territory of Xia Cheng, and other rebels are not easy to intervene in the fighting there. Therefore, Zhang Huaxuan thought twice and decided to send out the two generals under Xia Cheng. The enemy would have deceived Xiahou Dun. Wang Kang was deceived, and Zhang Huaxuan suggested that Zhang Sailiang, who could not be less resourceful than himself, should also follow him, so as to be foolproof.
There is nothing wrong with Zhang Huaxuan’s plan. Xia Cheng and the others also nodded in agreement, but Peng You looked at Xia Cheng in surprise, and said: "The Wang Kang mentioned by Master Zhang just now is the son of Wang De? It turns out that he really is. Surrendered to your account."
Xia Cheng smiled faintly, but said triumphantly: "Wang Kang was framed by Zhao Yan and went to my account. Brother Shoucheng and I have a lot of fate. Of course, I have to take care of brother Wang De's heirs. ."
Hearing what Xia Cheng said, Peng You stopped talking again, feeling very jealous. Peng You had already learned about the battle between Wang Kang and Wang Xiong in Jiangling through Zhang Wenxin. That was a general no less than Wang Xiong. It just fell into Xia Cheng's hands. You know, what Peng You lacks most now is a powerful general who is the enemy of ten thousand people.
"Report--."
In the chamber of the Jianchang Military Official's Mansion, Xia Jiajun generals Yang Lin and Wang Kang, who were stationed here by Xia Cheng's orders, were now surrounding a map carefully studying the deployment of the official army.
At this time, a soldier ran in, shouting and shouting, and fisted to Yang Lin and Wang Kang, saying: "General Yang Lin, General Wang, Nan Fung Urgent! Discover the enemy's situation."
"Nanfeng?" Yang Lin's brows couldn't help but frowned, and he quickly looked down on the map, and soon found this place at the junction of the official army and Jiangling Mansion. Pointed at the small spot marked Nanfeng on the map with his finger, and said in a deep voice, "Master Zhang did not make a mistake in his judgment. Zhao Jun really sent troops to Fuzhou."
And Wang Kang had already taken the military information from the soldier, opened it directly, and raised his head and said: "Well. Everything is just as Master Zhang guessed. The enemy troops that appeared in Nanfeng were all cavalry. It seems that Zhao Yanjun’s Qingqi is not wrong. General Yang Lin, let’s set out to rescue Nanfeng immediately."
"Don't worry." Yang Lin also took the military situation in Wang Kang's hand and looked at it carefully, and said: "Nanfeng's defenders should be only a few hundred people. Even if we rush now, we will definitely not be able to keep up with the rescue of Nanfeng. According to According to the military situation, Qingqi should have just broken through the border of our defense. Nanfeng should not be their ultimate goal. We have to plan carefully before we can act. Come on! Go and invite Master Zhang." The last sentence, Yang Lin shouted to the soldiers guarding outside the door.
"No, I already know." Before the soldier left, another voice came from outside the door, but Zhang Sailiang walked in from outside the door. Before that, Zhang Sailiang was dealing with some military affairs on the other side of the official government mansion. He had already learned about the military information sent from Nanfeng, so he hurried over.
Everyone is acquaintance, and there is no need to be polite, Yang Lin immediately asked: "Master Zhang. Zhao Jun has started to act, and it must be Qingqi. How should our army respond?"
Zhang Sailiang also nodded, walked quickly to Yang Lin and Wang Kang, looked down at the map, and then said: "General Yang Lin, if it is really a light cavalry, we shouldn't worry about it. Cavalry is not good for attacking the city. , A small city like Nanfeng may be able to be taken by the enemy, but other important cities, Qingqi will never be able to conquer under normal circumstances. What we have to consider now is how to eliminate this army. It will consume Zhao Yanjun's strength. "
"Is there a way for Master Zhang?" Wang Kang on the side listened more and more excited. How could Wang Kang forget his father-killing hatred? Had it not been for Xia Cheng and Yang Lin who had been pressing on it for a long time, he would have ran to look for it. Zhao Yan got revenge. Now that Zhao Yan's important army is here, Wang Kang can't wait to lead his troops to destroy this army now, and then see how Zhao Yan regrets it. Just thinking about it, Wang Kang is full of pleasure.
"Yeah." Of course, Zhang Sailiang could guess what was in Wang Kang's heart. He nodded, then lowered his head and swiped on the map, and said, "Please look at the general. There is no important city in the open area north of Nanfeng County. In other words, if Zhao Jun wants to continue to attack the official army, he has only one goal, that is, there is only a small county. And this small county is so close to the Jianchang army, our army has no time to arrange one before the other party attacks this small county. Trap. When the time comes, just wait for the other party to come to drill." After speaking, Zhang Sailiang also drew a circle around the location of this small county on the map.
Yang Lin touched the beard on his chin, and said in a deep voice, "Master Zhang. If the other party does not come to attack this small county town? Instead, we continue to attack east of Nanfeng, aren't we in vain? "
"Impossible." Zhang Sailiang shook his head and said, "The nearest important city to the east of Nanfeng is the Shao Wujun. From Nanfeng to Shao Wujun, even the Qingqi who is known for speed takes a day. And there is no place in the middle. The Shaowu Army is a big city, and if the enemy only has cavalry, it is absolutely impossible to capture the Shaowu Army."
"Moreover, we can retake Nanfeng from the south, and the enemy will really be trapped in the official army by then. The generals of Zhao Jun will not be so stupid as to put his army in such a state of annihilation. On the contrary, this small county is closer to the border between the two armies, and the risk taken is much smaller. If I were the commander of Qingqi, I would also choose to attack this small county."
"Yeah." Yang Lin lowered his head and thought. This is the same reason. According to the intelligence, Qingqi's leaders are Zhao Yun and Wang Hu. Both of them are well-known wise generals. Of course, they would not make such mistakes. After figuring this out, Yang Lin nodded and said, "Okay! Just as Mr. Zhang said, we will send troops to the small county town. Humph! If you are prepared, even if your opponent is that Qingqi, I have the confidence It swallowed it. General Wang Kang. I heard that you had a fight with Wang Hu back then. How about? How confident are you facing your old opponent?"
"General Yang Lin, don't worry." Yang Lin mentioned Wang Hu, and Wang Kang immediately remembered the scenes at Nanzhai, Jiangling. His eyes immediately turned red, and he said, "If it wasn't for the critical situation, I would have the confidence to rule that king. The tiger will be slashed under the horse. This time I am not only going to kill Wang Hu, but also Zhao Yun. After I get rid of Qingqi, I have to rush to Xianning and kill all the generals under Zhao Yan. "At the end, Wang Kang looked a little crazy.
Seeing Wang Kang's appearance, Yang Lin and Zhang Sailiang only shook their heads. They understood Wang Kang's feelings in their hearts. It was normal for a person to have blood and blood in his heart. This time, let Wang Kang take a good vent. Immediately, Yang Lin issued a military order to collect all the soldiers and horses stationed in the Jianchang Army and set off to this small county town, preparing to ambush the light cavalry of the King's Army.
However, Zhang Sailiang's plan is indeed very good, but the reality does not develop according to Zhang Sailiang's expectations. After lying in ambush outside this small county for three days, he did not wait for Qingqi to come, but instead waited for another expedited military report.
"What! Linchuan met the enemy?" Yang Lin almost didn't jump up when he heard the messenger's words, his eyes widened, and he looked at the messenger incredulously, even wondering if there was a problem with his ears.
And Zhang Sailiang, who was next to him, ran to the messenger with a face full of surprise, and he couldn't even care about maintaining his usual demeanor. It's just that Zhang Sailiang's face is getting worse and worse, and in the end, it has become pale.
He turned his head somewhat mechanically and said to Yang Lin: "General Yang Lin, that's right, the military newspaper from Linchuan showed a cavalry team of tens of thousands of horses outside the city. Calculated by time, I'm afraid now. Linchuan City has been lost."
"Asshole!" Until now, Yang Lin couldn't understand that these people were completely fooled by the other party. Linchuan City is located in the north of Nanfeng, a bit farther than the Shao Wujun. But none of them thought that the light cavalry would change direction and attack Linchuan City. Linchuan's defenders were not even as good as Nanfeng, so it was naturally impossible to stop Qingqi's attack. More importantly, once Linchuan is lost, all cities in Fuzhou and Xinzhou, the large tracts to the north and east of Linchuan, are in danger.
Immediately, Yang Lin shouted: "No! You can't let the enemy continue to be so arrogant. Send orders! Immediately raise troops and go to rescue Linchuan."
"General Yang Lin, no!" Zhang Sailiang saw that Yang Lin also lost his usual calmness, and hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded: "Linchuan is definitely not going to be kept. It doesn't make much sense for us to rush to rescue Linchuan now. It is better to rush immediately To Guixi. Once Linchuan is lost, several cities in the northeast of Guixi are likely to be attacked by the enemy. Only by garrisoning in Guixi and rushing to various places can we ensure that the hinterland of the official army will not be attacked by the enemy."
While talking, Zhang Sailiang opened the map that had been prepared long ago in the big tent. On the map, the northeast of Linchuan is Guixi City, and there are many cities around Guixi City, and in the center of these cities is Guixi. Zhang Sailiang's intention was to station the army in Guixi, so that all the cities around Guixi could be covered by the army's protection.
Taking a deep breath, Yang Lin also slowly calmed down, and began to study the map according to what Zhang Sailiang said. On the contrary, Wang Kang who was on the side was a little impatient, and hurriedly shouted, "How? How? Master Zhang. How should we fight? Or, let's go to Wugong Mountain."
"No." Zhang Sailiang hurriedly shouted and said, "It is absolutely impossible to do this. Our troops are all infantrymen, and they are inferior to Qingqi in mobility. If they venture into Wugong Mountain and are cut off by the opponent, there is only A dead end."
Yang Lin thought for a while, and said in a deep voice, "Master Zhang is right. The lord's meaning is to let us hold Fuzhou. Maybe this is the enemy deliberately trying to lure us away. Good! Master Zhang, Just as you said. Let’s go to Guixi. I hope we won’t make a mistake again this time."
"Uh." Hearing Yang Lin's last words, Zhang Sailiang couldn't help but stunned, but he couldn't guarantee Yang Lin because Zhang Sailiang could no longer see through the enemy's goal. The attack on Linchuan was indeed unexpected by Zhang Sailiang, but it was meaningless at all. Although Linchuan is a big city in Fuzhou, it does not have much strategic significance and should not have any impact on the overall situation. Could it be that the enemy has any plot that he hasn't seen clearly
Thinking of this, Zhang Sailiang couldn't help but shudder, wanting to remind Yang Lin aloud, but he didn't know how to tell Yang Lin, after all, everything was just a flash of thought. Hopefully, everything is just my own illusion.
It's just that Zhang Sailiang's worst idea has been fulfilled. When Yang Lin led the army and just rushed to Guixi, he received a military report that the small county where they had been stationed was breached.
Yang Lin and the others rushed to defend Guixi, but they didn't expect Qingqi to turn around again to hit the small county. After getting this military report, Yang Lin and the others were all stupid.
This time even Wang Kang could see that the enemy was clearly leading them by the nose and running around. Now that the officers and army have lost three cities in a row, Yang Lin has never seen the enemy's face, and the three of Yang Lin have never fought such an aggrieved battle.
Angry to angry, but the small county still has to be saved, this small county is too close to the Jianchang Army. Now that all the soldiers and horses in the Jianchang Army have been mobilized by Yang Lin, if the enemy ran to attack the Jianchang Army at this time, they would definitely not be able to stop the enemy's attack. In desperation, Yang Lin could only mention the army that had just been stationed in Guixi and rushed to the small county.
At the same time, in this small county seat, Qingqi, which had just captured the small county seat, was already busy in the county seat. According to the military order issued by Zhao Yun, the officers and men of Qingqi had already begun to move the materials in the warehouses of the small county town, and those who could not move were gathered together by the officers and men to be burned. In the county office in the middle of the county seat, Qingqi's generals such as Zhao Yun were chatting and laughing.
Zhang Long, the general who surrendered with the officers and soldiers back then, laughed and said, "Mother. I have fought for so many years, and I really haven't fought so easily. In a muddle-headed manner, we won three cities. Hahahaha. General Zhao, your trick is really wonderful."
"Haha." Zhao Yun, who was sitting in the first place, smiled and shook his head and said: "This tactic was not invented by me, but the lord told me. You forgot the secret letter sent by the lord's military order. Is it? There is this tactic taught to me by the lord. The lord is really powerful. This guerrilla tactic is the most suitable tactic for our light cavalry." Zhao Yun couldn't help but glance at the tactics taught by Wang Zhao Zhen. Shine.
"Tsk tusk." Zhang Long also said with a smile on his face: "This method is good, of course it is good, but it is too easy to win. It didn't take much effort to even conquer three enemy cities. Then the Zhizhou in Linchuan can even fight. If you don’t fight, you will surrender. It’s really boring."
"Yes! Yes!" The other general next to Zhang Long also nodded again and again, turned his head to look at Zhao Yun, and said expectantly: "General Zhao, since Xia's soldiers and horses were deceived to Guixi by us. Go over there, why don't we just attack the Jianchang Army. The capture of the Jianchang Army means that the Jianchang Army, the main city of Fuzhou, was completely taken by us. This is a great achievement!" This general is so. Upon a suggestion, other generals also nodded and said yes. They were all generals who surrendered from the official army back then. Naturally, they were looking forward to seizing a large number of territories, and finally supporting Lixin Wang Qiansui as the emperor's orthodoxy.
