Chapter 146

Gao Chong, who returned to the palace, had an uncontrollable premonition in his heart, he, the emperor of the Song Dynasty, would not be in office for long, and it might only be a matter of a few days. It is to indulge in wine and indulge in pleasure when he returns to the palace, and there is quite a posture of breaking jars and breaking them.

However, what Gao Chong never expected was that the defeat came so quickly, that night, when he was still indulging in Gentle Township, there were sounds of killing outside, listening to the sound, it came from the south of the city, and at this time he was still wondering in his heart, wasn't the 20,000 border troops stationed outside the north of the city?

Then, there was chaos in the palace, and all kinds of eunuchs and palace ladies panicked, saying that General Ling Xiao Ling had entered the city, and Gao Chong was going to die!

Just when Gao Chong was furious and scolded his subordinates, his mind was dizzy, and he fainted. When he woke up again, he was already in a cage, shackled, and the back of his neck ached, presumably because he had been hit in the neck before he passed out.

In the palace of Qi State, on the Jinluan Palace, Ling Xiao and the deputy general Gao Yao were wearing armor and taking their own soldiers, standing on the palace, surrounding a map of the capital, looking down, and one by one the heralds went in and out of the palace, passing orders back and forth.

"Report! Returning to the general, General Zhang has led his troops and horses to capture Kuli Street in the south of the city, leaving 500 soldiers and horses to guard, leading his troops to the north, chasing and defeating the forbidden army, and at this time he has arrived at Lishui Street. A herald walked up to Ling Xiao and bowed to his fists.

"Well, yes, let him continue, and if there is a situation, report it at any time." Ling Xiao nodded.

"Yes!" The herald took the order and left.

"Report! Inform the general that General Li has led his headquarters to capture the granary in the west of the city, personally led 5,000 men and horses to defend the town, and his deputy general Tian He led the remaining 5,000 men and horses to attack and kill the rest of the rout! "The last herald had just left, and another herald came to report.

"General Li is always heavy and has done a good job." Ling Xiao commented, and then said, "Go back." If there is a situation, please feel free to report it. ”

"Yes!"

"Report! Reporting to the general, General Wei attacked the armory of the forbidden army, encountered an ambush by the enemy general Li Yun, suffered heavy casualties, and asked for support. ”

"Gao Yao." Ling Xiao drank the order with one hand.

"The last general!"

"You let Jiang Xin lead 5,000 men and horses to support Wei Wu. At the same time, the order was sent to all the troops in the city who could draw their hands to send at least 1,000 men and horses to the armory! As for the enemy general Li Yun, try to capture him alive! Also, put Gao Chong on the board and tell him to persuade him to surrender! ”

"The last general obeys!" Gao Yao then went down to dispatch troops, and after a while, the order was delivered, and he returned to Ling Xiao's side, and looked at the map on the table, where the black and white sons were fighting in the city, although the white sons representing the border army of Longcheng had the upper hand, but the black sons representing the forbidden army were also very tenacious and indomitable.

"This General Li, who guards the city, really has some ability!" Looking at the stalemate of the battle, Gao Yao couldn't help but sigh: "If it weren't for the people's hearts and minds, the general trend of Gao Chong has gone, and we are using a plan to open the gate of the southern city, if we attack the capital and the two armies face each other, I am afraid that not only will it not be able to take it in a short time, but also the casualties will be very heavy." ”

"After all, it's someone who has followed Zhou Yu and learned some things." Ling Xiao commented lightly, "It's a pity that I followed the wrong person." ”

The Art of War: Know yourself and your opponent and win all battles!

Long before they came, Ling Xiao and the others had done all the information that needed to be done. After all, he has been in the Qi State for several years, and he is not only in charge of the border army of Longcheng and the management of Longcheng's government affairs, but also an intelligence agency with sharp ears and eyes is also indispensable.

Gao Yao listened to Ling Xiao's words, recalled the past, and couldn't help but sigh: "Hey, since General Zhou was demoted to Taigu County, many generals in the army have been demoted, recalled, and heroes are lonely. The Qi Kingdom has today, and everything started when the King of Qi disregarded the will of the people and deposed General Zhou Yu. ”

Gao Yao was a soldier from the King of Qi when he started his career, although he was a member of the King of Qi's line, he also admired Zhou Yu very much, and he was also very emotional about the scene of General Li at this time. I just hope that he can understand the current affairs, not be too stubborn, and submit to surrender! Come to think of it, even his lord Gao Chong was captured, he shouldn't be so stubborn that he still resists, right?

It's a pity, to everyone's surprise, this Li Yun is such an unreasonable stubbornness!

Then, because of Li Yun's stubborn resistance, this street battle lasted for a whole night, and finally the forbidden army led by Li Yun was finally defeated and captured due to being outnumbered.

As a result, the capital of Qi State, including the imperial palace, fell into the hands of Ling Xiao.

Afterwards, Ling Xiao convened all the generals in the army and held a meeting, one was to settle the battle exploits and clean up the battle situation, and the other was to discuss the battlefield process and summarize the gains and losses.

Although everyone present was a veteran of the battlefield, under Ling Xiao's initiative, they still held this meeting very seriously, summing up their own achievements and losses in the battlefield, and seeing what shortcomings needed to be improved, and whether others had any advantages that were worth learning from.

Just like General Ling Xiao said, study hard and make progress every day!

"This Li Yun is indeed a tiger general. If we hadn't used deception early on, saying that we had sent 20,000 troops, but in fact 200,000 had come, and the vanguard alone would have had 60,000, I am afraid that it would be difficult to defeat the capital. ”

"60,000 horses, 10,000 guards the 30,000 Qingzhou army, 20,000 people marched all the way to the north of the city, set up camp, confuse the enemy, attract attention, the remaining 30,000 people detoured to the south of the city, took advantage of the night to come outside the south of the city, and the agreed inner and outer should be together, open the city gate, kill in, a good trick to hide from the sky and cross the sea!"

"It's also thanks to the moonlight these days, it's not pitch black, so people can't walk at night, and it's not the full moon, so that people can see the clues in the distance at a glance."

"Of course, the best thing is that the general has sneaked into the city with more than a dozen elites a few days before the arrival of the army, hiding in the shadows, until the agreed time, the inside and the outside should be united, attack the city, and finally enter the palace with a single sword, and capture Gao Chong, the dog thief!"

"This is also Gao Chong's subordinates, and the investigation is not careful enough. Only one Li Yun has some ability, but he is a good hand at marching and fighting, and he can't picket traitors and meticulous work. ”

"Yes! And being able to catch Gao Chong in the palace is also a great general's martial arts, and he has internal guidance, and there are no real masters around Gao Chong, so he can succeed. When the general said this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, no matter how powerful he was, what could he do? After all, they can't beat those martial arts masters! Sure enough, within ten feet, everyone is the enemy country! No wonder the founding ancestors of the previous dynasties were all peerless masters! Otherwise, there are peerless masters guarding you!

The former king of Qi, Hong Lei, was actually too persecuted because his paranoia was too serious, because his younger brother rebelled and implicated the masters who were around him to protect him, but he killed them all without asking questions. Otherwise, if Gao Chong and the queen wanted to murder him, it would still be very difficult.

"This Li Yun is too brainless. When the other forbidden troops saw that Gao Chong was captured, and we were a powerful army with high morale, they immediately disarmed and surrendered, but he was the only one who had to focus on the master, with 10,000 horses and horses in his headquarters, fighting to the death, and finally thanking himself! It's a pity, this tiger general! ”

"Yes! There are hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops, and in the end, only one coach Li Yun is fighting alone, hey! ”

At the meeting, the generals shared their views and opinions on the battle, and there were many discussions. As the coach, Ling Xiao seemed to be silent, just listening quietly, occasionally commenting a few words, but they were all to the point, and his words were precise and penetrating.

Finally, at the end of the meeting, Ling Xiao talked about the rewards for meritorious deeds, and all the generals present received their respective rewards, which were fair and reasonable, and no one could have any objections. Acting fairly and justly can convince everyone, which is one of the points that Ling Xiao admires the most in the army.

"Well, this battle is over. Now it's time to turn to another issue that we have to face. Speaking of this, Ling Xiao paused slightly and said, "What should we do with those local troops who are coming?" ”
