Chapter 190: The Fall of Yicheng
Xiao Moheng actually didn't laugh angrily, he snorted lightly and shook his head, Liu Ji's thoughts he really didn't know much about, it was nothing more than being confident that he had been fighting for half his life, and he knew military strategy, and he was not worthy of commanding him. However, when he did this, Xiao Moheng fell into the arms, and he was worried that he couldn't find a chance to cure Liu Ji.
"Qin Xin, pass on Shangzhi!" After Xiao Moheng finished thinking, he commanded.
"Yes!" Qin Xin immediately retreated after receiving the order.
After a while, Shang Zhi came in armor, he strode in, and said respectfully, "Your Highness! Although Shang Zhi was born in the Shi Bing Military Mansion, since Xiao Moheng transferred him to the Beifu Army, he followed Xiao Moheng wholeheartedly, and only obeyed his orders.
At this time, Xiao Moheng was facing away from the tent, looking at the map, and when he saw him coming, he turned around and said: "General Shang, there is a general under Beihe, called Zhang Tai, I heard that there is an unworthy courage of ten thousand people, do you dare to face him?" ”
Shang Zhi did not hesitate to arch his hand and said: "Your Highness, Shang Zhi's Iron Spine Snake Spear has not met an opponent for a long time, whether he is inappropriate or inappropriate, Shang Zhi is not afraid!" ”
"Okay, the general is so daring, this king appreciates, lead 10,000 soldiers and horses with you, and go to the Linfu area in the starry night to meet Zhang Tai!" Xiao Moheng walked down the hall as he spoke, stood in front of him, and said softly: "After you get to the side, you ambush on the side first, and I will let Tao Yiran block Zhang Tai's retreat," Xiao Moheng's clear eyes flashed a trace of fierceness, "Remember, after Liu Ji's army is defeated, when Zhang Tai is unprepared, you and Tao Yiran will attack Zhang Tai, and make sure that his iron cavalry will not return!" ”
When Xiao Moheng said the last few words, his voice was extremely slight. There was no wave on his face.
Hearing this, Shang Zhi glanced up at Xiao Moheng, and said in a low and firm voice: "The last general understands!" Although he had some doubts in his heart, wondering why Xiao Moheng would wait for Liu Ji's defeat before going to battle, but Xiao Moheng said so, he did so, and he had to carry out the master's orders without hesitation, which was the only thing that his subordinates should do.
"Then the army will be sent immediately!" Shang-Chi continued.
"Okay, that's the hard general!" Xiao Moheng smiled.
"The last general will retire first!" Shang Zhi said goodbye and bowed again, and withdrew.
Not long after Shang Zhi went out, Qin Xin came to report. said that Yan Sui asked to see.
Xiao Moheng snorted with a smile. Said: "Pass! ”
Xiao Moheng then leaned on the table and looked at the book that had just been dropped on the desk.
Yan Sui, who was in the dust, stepped into the hall quickly, and said again and again: "Your Highness... Your Highness, Yan Sui harassed His Highness in the middle of the night. It really shouldn't be. But there's one thing. Yan Sui wants to ask His Highness! ”
Xiao Moheng looked up and saw Yan Sui's anxious face, so he pretended to be puzzled and said, "What's wrong with Lord Yan?" What happened? Sit down and talk to me! ”
Yan Sui made a gesture and said, "Thank you, Your Highness!" Then he leaned on the lower side of Xiao Moheng. Sit down.
"Your Highness, I just heard that Beihe sent Zhang Tai in the direction of Linfu, Your Highness, Yan said bluntly, General Liu is not Zhang Tai's opponent!" Yan Sui arched his hand towards Xiao Moheng, his face was embarrassed, since he joined the army, Xiao Moheng asked him to be responsible for the dispatch of military food and equipment, but he is Pei Yun's henchman, and Liu Ji is Pei Yun's brother-in-law, he must ensure Liu Ji's safety.
"Lord Yan, it seems that you are quite familiar with the generals of the Yan Army!" Xiao Moheng smiled lightly,
Yan Sui smiled bitterly, obviously Xiao Moheng's focus was different from him, "Don't hide it from Your Highness, Yan Sui originally had the ambition of the Northern Expedition, and when he was serving in Jingzhou, he also knew a lot about the military situation of the Yan army, so he knew a little bit about it." ”
"That's very good, from tomorrow, Lord Yan will not only have military rations, but also please give advice to this king!" Xiao Moheng looked at him with admiration on his face, and said sincerely,
Yan Sui immediately got up and bowed when he heard this, "Thank you Your Highness for your appreciation, Yan will definitely do your best!" ”
"Haha... Yan-sama, please take a seat! Xiao Moheng looked at Yan Sui with deep meaning, he didn't know Yan Sui's intention, so he said sincerely: "Lord Yan's intention, this king already knows, just before the Lord came, I had asked General Shangzhi to help General Liu break the enemy!" ”
Yan Sui's face was overjoyed, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Your Highness is wise!" ”
Xiao Moheng immediately said without a trace: "When General Liu was on the verge of frustration, I also instructed him some strategies to defend against the enemy, I believe that with the two generals here, the frustration must be worry-free!" ”
Yan Sui smiled bitterly in his heart, he knew Liu Ji's temper, I am afraid that he will not listen to Xiao Moheng's command, thinking about it like this, I am afraid that it will be difficult to determine the outcome of the frustration. But Xiao Moheng can do this, which is already very good.
"Your Highness is strategizing, Yan Sui admires!"
"Haha, Lord Yan is polite, come, let's have a drink!" Xiao Moheng raised his glass to him,
"Your Highness!" Yan Sui hurriedly replied.
Yan Sui was afraid of disturbing Xiao Moheng's rest, so after drinking a glass of wine, he retired.
Just as Xiao Moheng was about to rest, the raiding army had arrived in the area of Tongbai Mountain after three days and three nights, and Fei Lian, Lian Cheng'an and Shangguan Xian led 25,000 soldiers and horses to hide in the mountains. And Jiang Mei also joined the three of them when the army arrived at Tongbai Mountain.
At this moment, in a makeshift tent, Jiang Mei was watching a map of Nanyang with Fei Lian and Lian Cheng'an by the lamp.
Shangguan Xian, who had just spied on the military from outside, saw that the three of them were discussing how to send troops to Nanyang as soon as he entered the tent.
Shangguan Xian walked over, took a sip of water hurriedly, and said, "Miss, just now I saw a large group of military horses passing through the valley on the side of Tongbai Mountain and Nanyang, heading in the direction of Xincai County!" ”
Fei Lian and Lian Cheng'an immediately looked up at him, and then they also looked at Jiang Mei and said worriedly: "Miss, this can't be Beihe's ambush, right?" ”
Jiang Mei, who had been looking down at the map, only looked up at her three favorite generals at this moment, and showed a smile, "Of course it is, who else can it be if it's not Beihe?" But they didn't go to Xincai at all, but to Shouchun! Jiang Mei's eyes flashed coldly, and there was a smug smile on the corner of her mouth.
"Huh? Isn't Shouchun dangerous? The troops of Yuzhou and Jiangzhou are in Jingling, where is the remaining strength to resist the attack of Beihe? Lian Cheng'an said loudly, since the three of them converged, the previous youthful spirit seemed to have returned, so he shouted. Fei Lian, Lian Cheng'an and Shangguan Xian were a group of young generals trained by Jiang Mei herself, a few years ago. They were sent to different places to lurk, and now that the three of them were finally united, naturally that kind of high-spirited spirit was even greater.
The three of them all looked at the calm master with a worried face, "Miss....we have to think of something!" ”
"You don't have to worry, I already knew that Beihe was good at raiding, if I wasn't prepared, wouldn't all these years of hard work be in vain?" Jiang Mei glanced at the three of them, and said unhurriedly: "Your Highness has long ordered the soldiers and horses of Yuzhou to stand by in the area of Shouchun, and the guard of Shouchun is Deng Rui, although Deng Rui only went to Shouchun at the beginning of the year. But he is a calm and strategic general. With him, Shouchun is worry-free. "She was in the Nanyang area two days ago, and she had already gained insight into Beihe's use of troops.
"I see! That's great! Shangguan Xian put his mind at ease, he thought to himself that he could also attack Nanyang wholeheartedly. After all, the last time they captured Changsha and Baling, they were all fighting their own people. It's not fun. This time it was different, he came to kill Yan Kou, and he had already mustered up the strength to fight Yan in his heart. So I asked Gao Chi to make it clear to Jiang Mei again and again, so that I could get together with my brother many years ago today.
"Fei Lian, you immediately send a message to His Highness the Seventh Highness, inform him that Beihe will attack Shouchun, and then fly the pigeon to pass the book to Shi Yu, so that they can prepare for the battle!" Jiang Mei instructed while putting away the map.
"Understood, I'll do it!" With that, Fei Lian turned around and walked out of the tent.
Only Jiang Mei, Lian Cheng'an and Shangguan Xian were left in the house. Jiang Mei looked at the two of them and seemed to smile, "When you were in Plum Blossom Valley, the relationship between the two of you was the best, and now you haven't seen each other for many years, haven't you been unfamiliar?" Jiang Mei deliberately joked.
"Haha!" The two looked at each other and smiled, so one put one on the other's shoulders, "Of course not, when I first saw Cheng'an, the joyful scenes of my youth also appeared in front of me, Cheng'an was very naughty at that time, except for Miss and Sister Yunzhao, there was no way to cure him" Shangguan Xian said that the three of them laughed again,
After laughing, Lian Chengan looked at Jiang Mei warmly and asked, "Miss, after we recover the Central Plains, shall we return to Plum Blossom Valley?" ”
"Okay, okay, let's all go back to Plum Blossom Valley, and eat, drink and be merry like before, so happy!" Shangguan Xian also smiled and agreed.
"Well, when I think I'm alone in Yidu and Jiangling, I will always think of our days in Plum Blossom Valley," Lian Cheng'an immediately knocked Shangguan Xian and said, "You are better than me, at least there is Brother Gao Chi by your side"
Immediately, the two of you said a word, and I said a word, and they were so unhappy.
Jiang Mei looked at the two of them with a smile, and she was really sad in her heart, I'm afraid that all this will not end so easily, after the North is settled in the Central Plains, there is still the court's deceit, the side of the couch, and Bashu is sleeping, and appeasing the world, etc., etc., the day when things will never end, and since they took that step, I am afraid that there will be no turning back, and Plum Blossom Valley may never go back, even if it is close at the moment, but they still don't have time to take a look at the elders and mothers-in-law who live in seclusion. However, how could Jiang Mei bear to break their bright and quiet dreams?
"What are you two laughing at? Laugh so much! Fei Lian, who had just finished his errand, lifted the curtain and entered.
"Oh, we're talking about someone who gets angry at every turn, and puffs out his cheeks and ignores people!" Shangguan Xian quipped.
"Haha..."
"Haha...."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Mei and Lian Chengan were laughing happily, and seeing that they were so happy, Fei Lian himself laughed too.
"No matter how easy I am, it's better than someone who doesn't dare to ride a horse!" Fei Lian is not easy to provoke, so he rubbed it into Liancheng'an's sore spot again.
"Hmph, that's a thing of the past, I'm pretty good at riding now!" Lianchengan is not to be outdone,
"Oh? Is it? Then tomorrow we will compete to see who can get to Nanyang earlier! Fei Lian said nonchalantly.
"Forget it... Forget it, Cheng'an, surrender! None of us can compare to Fei Lian on horseback, who calls someone a flying general! Shangguan Xianlang said with a smile.
After saying that, everyone burst into laughter again.
"Alright, alright, you've laughed enough, it's time to get down to business!" Jiang Mei saw that she had seen enough of the excitement, so she shook her head and said.
When the three of them saw that Jiang Mei had begun to arrange for the march, they immediately quieted down.
"Beihe has sent 30,000 soldiers and horses from Guangchang and Nanyang to Shouchun, so Nanyang City now only has 20,000 horses, and 50,000 is difficult for us to shake, but 20,000 can still think of a way." Jiang Mei pondered, her expression unimpressed.
"The Yan army marches day and night, two days later you can arrive at Shouchun, Shouchun battle ends, we can attack Nanyang, Cheng'an, tomorrow you take your men and horses to quietly rush to the east of Nanyang City, after noon at night, but see the city gate fire, then attack from the northeast, cut off the retreat of Nanyang soldiers!"
"Understood!"
"The two of you will follow me through the main gate of Nanyang City!" Jiang Mei said to Fei Lian and Shangguan Xian.
"Okay!"
"Our three brothers must do a good job and kill Nanyang City without leaving a piece of armor!" Liancheng Anhao said angrily.
"That is, who called us the Three Musketeers? Haha..."Even Cheng'an laughed heartily.
Fei Lian is a little longer than the two of them, in the end they are not as unreserved as the two of them, and now seeing that the two of them are full of pride, the narrow Danfeng eyes are also smiling, but his smile makes people feel charming.
"Fei Lian, you better wear a mask, otherwise... I'm worried that the army's morale is unstable," Lian Chengan joked as he looked at Fei Lian's evil face while laughing.
Shangguan Xian also giggled.
Fei Lian glanced at the two of them and put on the mask speechlessly.
"Okay, okay, you should act, you should prepare, Miss Ben is tired!" Jiang Mei leaned on the bed, holding her head with one hand, and said helplessly.
"Haha... Okay, then the young lady should rest quickly! After Shangguan Xian finished speaking, the three of them saluted and went out.
After the three of them left, Jiang Mei was still not in a hurry to sleep, "I don't know how to let Jiuzhu and Yue Hua do it?" Jiang Mei said secretly in her heart, "Yicheng doesn't know what's going on, it should be taken soon, right?" Jiang Mei sighed, no matter what, she firmly believes in Beihe's strength and ability, and can draw a force to Shouchun at this time, which shows his meticulous and bold thinking. Thinking about it, Jiang Mei gradually fell asleep.
Sure enough, early the next morning, Liu Xuan scolded the battle under Yicheng City again, Ling Heng couldn't bear it anymore, so he took 10,000 horses out of the city to face the battle. A spear made by Ling Heng, and a single broadsword made by Liu Xuan, both armies were waiting for the battle, beating drums and cheering, watching their respective generals fight fiercely in front of the battle.
The two fought fiercely for dozens of back and forth, but still did not distinguish the winner or loser, Ling Heng secretly said in his heart: "This Liu Xuanguo is worthy of being a forward general, he is really brave!" ”
Liu Xuan was also secretly frightened, Ling Heng really deserved his reputation, although he fought with Ling Heng several times, but he had never been as full of posture as today, he promised to take Yicheng within five days in front of the military advisor, if he didn't defeat Ling Heng today, what face would he have to go back to face the boss? Liu Xuan secretly made up his mind, shook up his spirits, and tried to take down Ling Heng.
Then the two of them clamped the horse's belly hard, and rushed towards each other like electricity. At this time, the drumming of the Yan army roared like thunder, like the momentum of black clouds crushing the city. Ling Heng was not afraid, and stabbed Liu Xuan with his spear. Liu Xuan first dodged, brushed himself past Ling Heng's horse, then glared and inhaled, immediately turned the horse's head, and when Ling Heng was not paying attention, he ran towards Ling Heng, lifted the big knife and slashed violently. Ling Heng instantly sensed the coolness in his back, and instantly blocked it with his spear, because he couldn't resist Liu Xuan's attack, he fled back to his army. (To be continued......)
