Chapter 1021: East Becomes West 14

The horizontal knife draped all over his body strode into the room, and with a playful smile in his eyes, he glanced at Tian Yuanyuan, who was paralyzed like mud, and bowed his hand to Bai Yucheng: "If you go back to the waiting master, our department has completely blocked Linzi City, from now on, Linzi City can only enter, not out, and I guarantee that the news here in Linzi will not be transmitted out at all."

"Okay, but don't be careless, in addition to blocking the city gates, scatter all the cavalry in your hands to patrol outside the city, but if there is any suspicion, you can cut it first." Bai Yu Cheng Dao.

"Understood!" Horizontal Knife answered loudly, turned and walked out the door.

Bai Yucheng turned around, walked to Tian Yuanyuan and sat down, "Tian Gongzi, as long as you are willing to cooperate, I can guarantee the lives of you and everyone in your family, I think you also know that the king of my family is not a person who devours and kills, like Tian Xiangye, who caused so much loss in the Yan Kingdom back then, and now it is just fishing in Dayan Lake. Tian Gongzi is still young, and in the future, after my Han dominates the world, with the ability of the eldest son, there may not be no chance to be a leader again."

Tian Yuanyuan eased up a little, and when he heard Bai Yucheng's words, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Opportunity? Probably like my father, I will fish on the shores of Dayan Lake for the rest of my life!"

"Sometimes it's a blessing to be able to fish quietly → a lifetime!" Bai Yucheng smiled: "How many people still dream of living this kind of life but can't get it!"

"What do you want me to do?" Tian Yuanyuan has a weak tunnel.

"Tian Gongzi, since I sued you and my true identity, I believe what I am going to do, you must know." Bai Yucheng walked to the window with a smile, pushed open the window, and looked in the direction of the palace, "At this time, I think that the King of Qi has also fallen into our hands."

Zhangjiadian, the defense area of the Chu army led by the flat soil. Isolated by Meng Chong's Nanye in the flat soil of the Qi country and the Qi people reached a deal, he guarded Zhangjiadian for the Qi people, and the Qi people provided him with enough food and grass and ordnance, these months, the two sides have cooperated happily, the flat soil people were born, grew up in the mountains since childhood, and later became a county captain, the main job is to go up the mountain to suppress bandits, and is quite familiar with mountain warfare, which is also when the Bian Yang led the troops to attack here, for the Qi army is almost a dozen and a quasi, three times five divided by two will occupy Zhangjiadian. Now it was his turn to guard, and he used all his strength to fight in the mountains, laying down a tight defense system, and firmly blocking the attack on Zhangjiadian by Meng Bushu.

Of course, Bian Yang also knew very well that Meng Chong did not exert all his strength in his direction, because at this time, Linyi, the reinforcements of the Chu State, were constantly arriving somewhere. After General Qu Wan has gathered all his troops, the counteroffensive will begin, and he will be able to attack Zhangjiadian District at that time.

The form is excellent, not a small good, but a big good. For the next counteroffensive, Bian Yang has been asking Linzi for all kinds of supplies under various pretexts in the past few months, and every batch of these supplies will be detained and hidden by him in various forms, and his troops are scattered in various dangerous passes in the mountains, and as soon as the grain and grass supplies arrive, they are immediately dispersed to various troops, and thousands of grain and grass have turned into trickles, and they disappeared without a trace in a few days, and even the officials of Qi State who are specially set up here to supervise have not discovered the strangeness.

Bian Yang knew very well that when their Chu army began to counterattack, his honeymoon period with the Grand Prince of Qi Guotian would be over, and Meng Chong on the opposite side was obviously not the kind of army that would collapse in one fight, so he had to reserve as much grain and grass as possible.

The Han army has been attacking, which gives Bian Yang the best opportunity and excuse to ask Linzi for food and grass, and Linzi will continue to transport supplies all the way here as long as the fighting continues here.

Bian Yang takes Ice Cave Bend as the base camp of the whole army, and it is also where his Chinese army is located, where more than 5,000 of the most elite troops of Bian Yang are stationed, and with Ice Cave Bay as the fulcrum, two defense lines extend out, one is the defense line composed of Songziping, Niukou and Gongjiaping three fortresses, and the other is composed of three fortresses of Xiping, Marsheyan and Banqiaogou, and the two defense lines are just like a pair of pincers, which are fanned out, with the help of the danger of the terrain, to attack the Han army. In addition to the defenders of these cantonments, Bian Yang has formed a special force mainly composed of people, over the mountains and mountains, out of nowhere, specializing in attacking the Han army's troops, this small army walks the mountains and climbs the rocks like walking on the ground, no matter how steep the mountains can not stop them, so that the Han army has a great headache.

Recently, the Han army suddenly reversed the previous normal, the attack on the flat soil defense line suddenly intensified, Meng Chong's general Zheng Xiaoyang transferred Huang Zhan's division and Ding Wei's division, respectively, to the two lines of defense launched a fierce attack, this time is very different from the past, the Han army is not afraid of casualties, forward and one after another, the front of the two defense lines of Gongjiaping and Banqiaogou has been in danger. Huang Zhan and Ding Wei were both extremely famous generals in the Han army. Huang Zhan is the son of Huang Desheng, a former general in western Liaoning, and has always had a deep friendship with Gao Yuan, while Ding Wei is Gao Yuan's personal guard, and he is extremely brave in battle. The two men joined forces to attack, which made Pyongyang feel a lot of pressure. It's like dominoes, if you fall the first one, you're afraid you'll fall one after the other.

What made Bianyang even more headache was that after suffering the losses of his own small mountain troops that specialized in raiding one after another, Zheng Xiaoyang also transferred such a group of mountain masters in the whole army to form a small detachment, and the special combat team of Bianyang was on the bar, and the two sides launched a strangulation of each other in the boundless mountains and forests.

The most direct consequence of the failure of the special operation was that the interconnection between the two lines of defense was cut off by the small detachments of the Han army, and the situation in which they could support each other in the past was lost, and they had to fight separately.

The situation on the front line was dangerous, and Bian Yang could no longer sit still in the ice cave bend, so he personally went to Banqiaogou, where the form was most critical, to direct the operation. After he left, the camp of the Chinese army in the ice cave bend was commanded by Tang Wan, the deputy general of the Chu army who stayed behind.

Although there is no ice cave in the ice cave bay, there is a huge cave here, deeply embedded in the belly of the mountain, and the big tent of the Chinese army in the flat soil is located in this cave, the cave is enough to hold thousands of people, part of the inside is set up as a barracks, and the other part is used as a warehouse, the location is hidden and dangerous, there is only one road that can barely allow a carriage to pass through the guò into the cave, both sides are full of lofty mountains, and the flat soil has arranged many positions on both sides, making the defense here almost impeccable. Zheng Xiaoyang's special squad tried to attack here several times, but all of them were in vain, and they lost a lot of manpower in vain.

Dragon's footsteps hurried into a small cave, although the cave was dry, but there was no sunlight all year round, and it was a little cold, and the small cave was covered with a layer of animal skin, and it was soft and whirring when stepped on it. The cave wall is in an excellent position, at the top of the cave, there is a one-meter-long gap, from which the light shines in, so that the cave can be illuminated naturally without lighting torches, and above this gap, a huge protruding rock is just blocking it, and it can also protect the small cave from the wind and rain.

This small cave is the place where Pyongsu Phong Yang convened the generals to discuss the meeting. There are wooden stakes in the cave to build a simple table and bench, and on the wall of the cave, large iron nails are nailed into them, and a lot of weapons and armor are hung.

After Bian Yang went to Banqiaogou, Tang Wan temporarily took his place here to deal with everything. Long Ke is the special envoy sent here by Linzi of Qi State to coordinate the Chu army and Linzi, and the most important task is to get batches of supplies from Linzi and then stare at the other party to send them to the troops, and also to monitor whether the army in Bianyang is really fighting hard.

Up to now, Long Ke was still very satisfied with the appearance of the Chu army, and Bian Yang was very good at mountain warfare, at least now he ensured the safety of Zhangjiadian, intercepted the Han army outside Zhangjiadian, and ensured the safety of Linzi in one direction.

Now, though, Runk is a little worried. For the first time since arriving here, he left Ice Cave Bay and personally went to the front line to direct the battle, which shows that the battle ahead is already very tight.

"General Don." Long Ke greeted Tang Wan warmly. Tang Wan, who was bowing his head to review the official documents, looked up and saw Long Ke, and a smile appeared on his face, for Long Ke, whether it was flat soil or he, they were all very polite, and their own military rations and ordnance materials were still on him.

"Why did Lord Long have time to come to me today?" Tang Wan smiled: "What? I'm not going to hunt today, I'm still waiting to eat your chicken!"

Long Ke waved his hand, "There is no time today, didn't General Bian Yang ask for a new batch of supplies a few days ago. Today I got the news that the supplies are almost arriving, and this time I have made a lot of efforts, a total of 100 truckloads of food, and 100 truckloads of other ordnance, and 100,000 arrows alone have been transported this time!"

"So much?" Tang Wan couldn't help but be surprised and delighted, "Why is Tian Dagongzi generous this time?" In the past, it was very picky, and every time we had to ask for it desperately, we would ship some of it."

"The eldest prince has always been very generous." Long Ke said with some dissatisfaction: "Your army is short of food and clothing in Zhangjiadian, can you worry about ordnance?"

"It's me who lost my word!" Tang Wan smiled: "But I won't thank the eldest prince, because this is what our Chu people exchanged for their lives, and everyone just took what they needed."

"That being said, after all, the two of us have to cooperate sincerely now!" Long Kedao.

"That's, why is the eldest prince so willing this time?" Tang Wan said with a smile.

"It's not the situation that forces it!" Long Ke sighed: "It's not just Banqiaogou, Gongjiaping is tight, those squads of the Han army are even more annoying, according to the news from Linzi, outside Linzi City, the shadow of these Han army squads has been seen, they have attacked several villages and killed a lot of people!" The eldest prince is worried that there will be fewer escorts, and these ordnance, grain and grass will be attacked by them, so he can only send more manpower, but if he sends more manpower, if he transports less, wouldn't it be another loss-making deal, so he simply transported more at a time, so that for a long time, there will be no need to transport grain to Zhangjiadian, and the opponent will have no gaps to take advantage of."

"The eldest prince's thoughts are really thorough." Tang Wan nodded and said, "It should have been like this a long time ago." (To be continued......)
