Chapter Seventy-Six: The Soldier is Fast

Not long after, Zhang Dingbian, who was burly, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a rough face, was brought to Li Jing. Li Jing saw Zhang Dingbian who was on the back of a tiger, and exclaimed: "What a strong man!" ”

Zhang Dingbian bowed to Li Jing, "I don't know what General Li summoned the last general?" ”

Zheng Chenggong, who was on the side, explained for Li Jing with a smile: "General Zhang, it was General Su Dingfang who recommended you to General Li, saying that you are outstanding in martial arts and brave. General Li just recruited you, wanting to see if you are really what General Su Dingfang said? If you really have a good martial arts, General Li will not bury talents. ”

Zhang Dingbian was overjoyed when he heard this, knowing that his opportunity had come, he immediately arched his hand and said: "Thank you generals for the last general!" ”

Zheng Chenggong waved his hand lightly, "You don't have to thank us, my Da Sui has always used what I can, but as the saying goes, hearing is false, seeing is believing, we haven't seen your martial arts after all, so we have to test it." Right now, General Su is seasick and dizzy, so let me have a few tricks with you! ”

Zhang Dingbian arched his hand towards Zheng Chenggong and said, "In that case, General Zheng, please forgive the last general for being rude!" ”

Zheng Chenggong drew his sword in his hand and shouted in a deep voice: "Don't talk nonsense, come on!" ”

Zhang Dingbian roared angrily, and rushed forward with an arrow step, but in three rounds, he snatched Zheng Chenggong's sword, put it on Zheng Chenggong's neck, and then withdrew his sword and retreated to the side, offending.

Seeing this, Li Jing immediately laughed and said: "General Zhang is really brave, with such martial arts but only serving as a general, it is really a pearl hidden, I will first appoint you as the vanguard general of my army, and when this Central Plains campaign is over, I will definitely recommend it to Your Majesty." ”

Zhang Dingbian was overjoyed, and bowed, "The last general thanks General Li for his appreciation." ”

。。。。。。。。。。

After another half a day of wind and waves, at the end of the sea, a winding thin line loomed in the eyes of tens of thousands of Sui soldiers.

"Land, land has arrived!"

The group of Sui soldiers who watched from the deck thundered with joy, and the dozens of days of sea turbulence finally came to fruition, and they had been tortured for so many days and experienced so many winds and waves. Now, I can finally get out of this evil breath in my chest.

Li Jing was also smiling, and quickly turned his head and ordered: "Zhang Dingbian, you immediately lead the five thousand vanguard elites to change the ship, quickly land on the shore and occupy the county seat, and I will arrive later." ”

"Yes!"

Zhang Dingbian answered, with a gun in hand, Pegasus got off the large sea ship, personally drove a boat, and rushed ashore at high speed.

The fishermen who were working and fishing on the seashore looked at the Sui army from a distance with a blank expression, and were very curious about how a large number of Sui troops could appear from the sea.

Zhang Dingbian didn't have the time to deal with these ordinary people, so he didn't stop at all after leading the army ashore, and led the army straight to the nearest Qushan County.

In order to take Luoyang in one fell swoop, Li Mi transferred all the 100,000 troops of Zhu Wen, the general stationed in Xuzhou. Later, Fang La and Du Fuwei defeated Qi County, and in order to hold Pengcheng, they transferred a lot of soldiers and horses from other counties, resulting in the lack of air defense in other counties in Xuzhou.

Qishan is close to the sea, Li Mi never dreamed that the Sui army would send troops from the sea, not only did not strengthen the defense, but felt that it was safe by the sea, and the Wagang army left here was only 500 old, weak, sick and disabled.

Zhang Dingbian led the army to attack the county seat of Qishan, although it was blocked at the gate of the city, but how could hundreds of old and weak soldiers resist five thousand elite soldiers, but in a moment it was wiped out by Zhang Dingbian, and the entire city was planted with the battle flag of the Sui army almost effortlessly.

It didn't take long for Li Jing to lead tens of thousands of troops to the county seat. Counting the warehouse, he was pleasantly surprised to find that there were nearly 100,000 stone of grain and grass and 80,000 stone of forage stored in the granary.

The steward in the granary interrogated and learned that the grain and forage were hoarded by Liu Lancheng, the general of Wagang, which he prepared just in case that he could still retreat to Qishan after the unfortunate loss of Pengcheng and continue to contain Xue Rengui's troops.

It's just that he never expected Li Jing to lead the army to attack from the sea, and all the grain and grass he worked so hard to prepare were cheaper than Li Jing.

Su Dingfang, who had been bleak because of seasickness, grinned and said: "Master, these tens of thousands of stones of grain and grass can just be used by our army, and after eating seafood for so many days, we can finally change the taste." ”

Li Jing shook his head and said with a slight smile: "I'm afraid you are the only one here who has this mouth, and as a teacher, I don't have this time to enjoy this delicious wine and food." ”

Su Dingfang was stunned for a moment and asked, "Master, do you plan to send troops immediately?" ”

Li Jing bowed his head and said: "Yes, it is the so-called soldier and noble. According to the confession of the Wagang general stationed here, now General Xue Rengui was blocked in Pengcheng by the Wagang generals Fang La and Liu Lancheng, and the division planned to take advantage of the news of Qishan County to reach Pengcheng, and led the army to attack the city of Fraud in the starry night to assist General Xue Rengui to take Pengcheng. ”

Su Dingfang suddenly realized, and said with understanding: "That master said that I still have this mouth, don't you plan to let me lead an army to occupy the entire Donghai County." ”

"Not only Donghai County, but also Gaomi County and Langya County, which are adjacent to Donghai, are also handed over to you." Li Jing said in a deep voice, "At present, in the whole of Xuzhou, except for the garrison of 30,000 or 40,000 Wagang troops in Pengcheng, the garrisons in the rest of the places are not much different from those in Qishan County. I'll leave you 10,000 horses here, and I'll take these three counties for me." ”

"Yes!" Su Dingfang Qiang cheered up and stood up very straight, and hugged his fist towards Li Jing to receive his life.

。。。。。。。。。。

Half an hour later, Zhang Dingbian first led three thousand elites to rush out of the county seat of Qishan at a gallop. Soon after, Li Jing also led more than 40,000 elite soldiers out of the city, followed Zhang Dingbian from a distance, and killed Pengcheng.

Although the road from Pengcheng to Qishan is a little far away, and there are many cities in the middle, the whole Xuzhou is now like a racecourse, allowing the Sui army to cross and horizontally. The Wagang army stationed in the city was more than 1,000, and as few as two or three hundred. With this little bit of strength, let alone blocking Li Jing's army, there are very few people who can still defend the city and not surrender.

Li Jing also ignored these cities at all, and led tens of thousands of troops all the way to the west, and walked around the city even if the city was on the periphery of the city, even if the flag was lowered on the head of the city, he also walked around the city, and handed over all these cities to Su Dingfang behind.

Zhang Dingbian led 3,000 elite soldiers to use the armor captured in the warehouse in Qishan County to disguise themselves as Wagang troops, day and night, and also turned a deaf ear to the cities they passed along the way, but from time to time sent some elite soldiers to ambush outside the city or on both sides of the official road, waiting for an opportunity to intercept and kill possible messengers.

After four days and three nights of rapid marching, the towering city wall of Pengcheng County finally appeared in Zhang Dingbian's line of sight.
