Chapter 623: Rivalry

Zeng Xianyi is the old man of Yuyang County, and he is also the old minister of the Jiang family, not only is he old, but his merits are unparalleled, otherwise he would not be able to become Jiang Dawei's personal commander, but he is such a person, and finally gave Jiang Dawei a fatal blow, if it were not for him, it would be difficult for Jiang Xinliang to successfully seize the power of Yuyang County from his father, I have to say that the good fate of Jiang Xinliang's deceased mother left him a great help.

Now Zeng Xianyi is stationed in An, with 3,000 elites under his command, and is the best equipped and strongest combat effectiveness among the soldiers of Yuyang County, and the transaction with the opposite Xinhui Zhengdong Army has made An Lu accumulate a large number of various military equipment and war horses.

But in the past five days, Zeng Xianyi has noticed that things are very abnormal, there are fewer and fewer businessmen from Xinhui, and as of today, there is no one, and the post road that used to flow endlessly suddenly became cold.

Yuyang and the Eastern Army are not friends, at best it is just a relationship of mutual use, mutual exchange, let themselves continue to be stronger, this is the essence of the transaction between the two sides, not conflict, but also do not want some people who are watching on the side to benefit.

But this sudden situation made Zeng Xianyi smell a familiar smell, war.

The smell of war is so strong, but Zeng Xianyi is a little confused, did the Eastern Army smell something? Jiang Xinliang and Zhao Ren's conspiracy, Zeng Xianyi didn't know, although he didn't think so, but since he was in charge of Jiang Xinliang, it didn't matter, whether it was Yan Guo or Zhao Guo, as long as Jiang Xinliang had to keep his position, it would be for him. It's all the same. But now it seems that the Eastern Army has obviously discovered something, and the current frame is preparing to block the young master's plan?

But it shouldn't! Zeng Xianyi was a little puzzled, the grievances between the Eastern Army and the Yan Imperial Court are well known, at the moment, the Yan State did not attack the Eastern Army, and even tolerated a little in some aspects, just because the Eastern Army is now at war with Donghu, and Donghu is good. Whether it is the Eastern Army, they are all the great enemies of the Yan Imperial Court, and the two guys who are vicious dogs in the eyes of the Yan Imperial Court bite each other, of course they can't intervene at this time, in their opinion, it is best for both sides to bite all over the body.

If Yuyang County breaks away from Yan State, it will definitely be a fatal blow to Yan State, and this kind of thing happens. For Gao Yuan, he should be happy to see it, and he should know very well that if Yan Guo is allowed to slowly accumulate strength. When his war with Donghu ended, no matter whether he won or lost, Yan would attack him.

Although he was puzzled, Zeng Xianyi still had to brace himself to deal with this matter. While reporting what happened in the new meeting to Jiang Xinliang in Yuyang County. On the one hand, he began to deploy troops and prepare to deal with the unforeseen situation.

On the third day, what Zeng Xianyi was worried about finally arrived.

this day. A cavalry of the Eastern Army stationed in Xinhui suddenly inserted into the rear of Anlu's side, and defeated a sentry of Yuyang County soldiers stationed in Qixingtai in the first battle, and captured Qixingtai, at the same time, another group of foot soldiers also crossed Mengshan, suddenly attacked from the trail, and took Majiadian in one fell swoop.

The two Eastern Expeditionary Army moved quickly, and before Zeng Xianyi could fully react, he had blocked his back road, and Zeng Xianyi, who was shocked and angry, was preparing to arrange a counterattack to recapture Qixingtai and Majiadian, and in front of him, a force of up to 5,000 people suddenly appeared in the Eastern Army, and the soldiers were approaching An Lu. And the commander turned out to be Ye Zhen, the supreme commander of the Eastern Army in Hejian County.

As soon as Zeng Xian arrived at this time, he finally fully understood that all the young master's calculations had fallen into the eyes of the other party, no matter what the considerations of the Eastern Army were, it was obvious that they did not agree with the young master's move, and the army pressed the border, maybe it would really fight, maybe it was a kind of coercion.

Withdraw all the troops scattered outside to Anlu City, close the city gate, prepare for the battle, and send many messengers back to Yuyang County to warn the young master, since the Eastern Army has known the young master's plan, then the Yan Imperial Court should also know that this matter must be launched in advance, otherwise something big will definitely happen.

The Eastern Army arrived near Anlu City, set up camp, but there was no sign of attack, Zeng Xianyi didn't even see the other party's battalion has large siege equipment, although Anlu is only a county town, the city wall is neither high nor dangerous, and it is not solid, but since Zeng Xianyi was stationed here, he still tried his best to transform the city wall, the body of the city wall can not be changed, but it can work the layout of the defense, the current Anlu City, not to say that it is impregnable, but it is definitely a hedgehog that can pierce people, What's more, the 3,000 Yuyang soldiers under his command are the elite of the elite, these 3,000 people, almost every one of them has participated in the big battle between the Yan State and the Zhao State in the past few years.

Soldiers who have been on the battlefield, soldiers who have killed people and seen blood, are completely different from ordinary soldiers.

But what made Zeng Xianyi unable to let go was that where the Eastern Army was stationed like this, trapped itself in Anlu City, but had no intention of attacking.

I don't know if the messenger sent out can arrive safely, can I remind Gongzi that there is a big problem with the plan, since the Eastern Army has been launched, it must be an endless stream of back-ups, although I can't see why the other party wants to trap themselves here, but obviously, they don't let themselves have the opportunity to meddle in the next thing.

Zeng Xianyi probably couldn't imagine that the Eastern Army had no rear hand, and the target of the Eastern Army was An Lu and the three thousand elites under Zeng Xianyi, and the so-called rear hand was all the arrangements of Tan Feng in Yuyang County. If Jiang Xinliang hadn't colluded with the Zhao people, Tan Feng would not have launched it so quickly, but when Tan Feng noticed that the Zhao people were interfering in Yuyang County, he had to come in advance to harvest the crops he had been raising for two years, although they were not particularly mature.

"Are you saying that Tan Feng already knows about the matter between us and is about to do something to me?" Looking at the envoy of Zhao who was sitting opposite, with a tired look on his face, Jiang Xinliang's face was very unsightly.

"It's not that it's going to be done, it's already happening." The envoy of Zhao State said heavily: "Taiwei can confirm this, so Jiang Junshou must act immediately, and there can be no further delay." ”

"But Zeng Xianyi's troops are still in Anlu, and before he is transferred back, there is still a risk in this matter!" Jiang Xinliang said hesitantly.

"There's no time." The envoy shook his head resolutely, "Zeng Xianyi is in Anlu, and the opposite side is the Eastern Army, they must have also sniffed the smell, will they let Zeng Xianyi get out lightly?" Without these 3,000 troops, it is nothing, as long as you can control Yuyang County smoothly, it will be a victory for Jiang Junshou. ”

"Why did the captain leave?"

"There's a big incident in Handan, and the captain must go back!" The envoy was vague, Zhao Zhuo was assassinated, and Zhao's civil strife was imminent, and the envoy didn't want Jiang Xinliang to know about it, and he had two minds, so that this matter was rampant. "General Zhou Changshou is Taiwei's old subordinate, Taiwei is about to leave when he teaches the opportunity, General Zhou has mobilized a large army from the whole city, ready to join forces with the general to deal with the possible difference, although the county guard can rest assured, Tan Feng's troops can be transferred, and there are only 5,000 standing troops and 10,000 Jiuyuan soldiers stationed in Jiuyuan County, so what Jiang Junshou has to do now is to immediately control the subordinate generals, whether they are willing or to force them, they must be pulled on the boat together, as long as the Yuyang County soldiers are united, Even if Tan Feng came, he couldn't do anything, and when General Zhou's army arrived, Tan Feng was unwilling and could only retreat. ”

Jiang Xinliang exhaled heavily, "That's all it can be." It's just that in this way, Yuyang County is afraid that it will be chaotic for a while. ”

"Don't be afraid of chaos, with the cooperation of Jiang Junshou and my general Zhou, the chaos can be calmed down, or just take this opportunity to clear out a group of guys who are dissatisfied with the county guard and hostile, so that the county guard can firmly control Yuyang County in his hands." When the envoy saw that Jiang Xinliang had already moved, he couldn't help but smile.

A personal guard flew out of the county guard mansion and ran to the military camp stationed around Yuyang County, Jiang Xinliang's personal guard camp surrounded the entire county guard mansion and was heavily guarded, and the garrison troops in the county town also opened out of the military camp and walked on the city wall, all the gates of Yuyang County were closed at the first time, the entire Yuyang County City, from the time the order of the county guard was issued, the whole city was under martial law, all shops were closed, and all the people were ordered to stay at home and not go out. Except for the soldiers who were in a hurry, there was not a single idler to be seen.

After a night of fright, the generals stationed on the four sides of the county town entered the city one after another, and each time they entered the city, Jiang Xinliang's frowning brows relaxed. These generals who came back only brought their own personal soldiers with them at most, which means that they don't know what is going to happen at all, and the only ones who know the reason for this are their own personal guards and the city gate guard of Yuyang County.

There are more than 1,000 people in his own personal guards, and the city gate garrison has 5,000 people, and with these more than 6,000 people controlling the city of Yuyang County, it is enough.

In the city of Yuyang County, the house where Tan Feng was hiding was also overcrowded, in addition to Yan Lingwei under the command of Tan Feng, there were many generals dressed in the uniforms of the soldiers of Yuyang County, looking at these people, Tan Feng had a smile on his face.

"Inform me and start acting, let's let Yuyang County be in chaos first, and let Jiang Xinliang be busy for a while." Tan Feng stood up, "After Tan Feng's personal guard battalion moves, let's go to the county guard's mansion!" He stood up and said with a smile: "Yuyang, it's time to come back."
