Chapter 1198: Chen Qingzhi VS Guo Fengxiao

Not long ago, Han Fu and Yuan Shao attacked Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng respectively, and the Chen and Zhang families were defeated and retreated, so they decided to recall the 20,000 troops that came to the aid and the Southern Alliance.

For the 150,000 and Southern Coalition Army, although the 20,000 army is not much, it is not less, and the most important thing is that Wang Mang is inseparable from Chen Qingzhi and Chen Youliang, so naturally he will not easily let Chen Zhang's 20,000 army leave.

Although Wang Mang didn't want to let Chen Qingzhi and Chen Ba leave first, Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youliang's orders had been given, and Wang Mang was neither the lord of the two, nor had anything to do with the two. Naturally, there is no excuse for leaving the two, and forcibly detaining them will only make the relationship between the three stiffened.

Just when Wang Mang was in a dilemma, the news came that Long He had killed Wang Shichong, and then the news that Long Yang had captured Huguan came.

Huguan fell, and the road leading from Bingzhou to Jizhou was blocked, even if Wang Mang agreed to Er Chen's departure, Er Chen would not be able to go back.

Chen Youliang is Er Chen's brother after all, Er Chen's heart to leave is very firm, Wang Mang naturally understands that he can't keep it, so he decided to send Chen Qingzhi to attack Shangdang and Huguan, which means that if you want to go back, you can fight back yourself.

If Chen Qingzhi really recaptures Shangdang and Huguan, it is equivalent to Wang Mang solving his worries, and even if he leaves, Wang Mang will know that if he doesn't recapture it, he can't blame Wang Mang for not letting the two go, it's because you don't fight.

I have to say that Wang Mang's abacus is too shrewd, obviously he sold Chen Qingzhi, but Chen Qingzhi is still helping Wang Mang count the money, and he will not offend either end if he takes advantage.

Although Wang Mang only gave Chen Qingzhi 40,000 soldiers and horses, this was not because he was stingy, but because he was afraid that if he gave too much, the front-line army would not be able to resist the offensive of the Qin army.

For the Southern Alliance, the biggest enemy is still Qin Hao, once the army on the front line can't stop the Qin army and is defeated, even if Chen Qingzhi defeats Long and recaptures Shangdang and Huguan, it will be meaningless.

The fall of Shangdang and Huguan caused the southern coalition army to lose nearly 10,000 soldiers, and Chen Qingzhi took away another 40,000 troops, which also reduced the strength in Wang Mang's hands to 100,000, but it had to fight against the 130,000 Qin army armed to the teeth.

The pressure in Wang Mang's heart has never been greater, but at this point, he has no turning back, whether he wins or loses, he must bear it to the death.

——————————

After Chen Qingzhi and Guo Tai led the army to leave, they did not attack Huguan at the first time, but chose to concentrate their forces to besiege the city of Changzicheng of Shangdang Rule.

After Long Ji divided his troops to attack the other Shangdang cities, he also divided the strength of the eldest son city, and there were only 10,000 defenders in the eldest son city at this time.

Wang Shichong is quite popular with the party family, especially the rest of the eight families of the Jin and Shang families, as if they have been tied up with the Southern Coalition Army.

Chen Qingzhi originally thought that the family in the city of the eldest son would help him open the city gate and fight against the Ming army, but he far underestimated the deterrent power of the Ming army to the family.

Both the Yellow Turban and the Ming Dynasty relied on the slaughter of the family to fight against the Han Dynasty, and the slaughter of thousands of families also made the Ming army the most feared force in the world.

Although the family in the eldest son city was dissatisfied with the Ming army's occupation of the party, they did not dare to help the coalition army against the Ming army, and if they failed, they would definitely be wiped out, and even if they succeeded, they would face the endless pursuit of the Ming army's Jianghu forces, and Wang Mang obviously couldn't save the lives of their family.

Although the Ming army now occupies most of the upper party, it is rare that it does not take the initiative to slaughter the family, and the Ming army does not provoke the family, and the family has already asked God to worship the Buddha, so naturally they dare not take the initiative to offend the Ming army.

Seeing that the Shangdang family was so peaceful, Long He was satisfied and couldn't help but secretly say that it was a pity, he was already ready to kill, but he didn't want these families to be so spineless.

According to the usual practice, the first thing the Ming army did after seizing the city was to investigate the sins of the family and then do the right thing for the sky, but this time before Long He sent out the army, Emperor Ming asked him not to take the initiative to attack the family, although Long He was puzzled in his heart, he could only comply.

Chen Qingzhi saw that he could not open the city from the inside, so he put on a posture of attacking the eldest son city, but arranged ambushes on the way between the eldest son and Huguan, and spread rumors that the eldest son city was about to be in danger, preparing to give Longyang in Huguan a siege point to help.

Huguan's Longyang had 20,000 troops in his hands, and seeing that Chen Qingzhi's 40,000 army was besieging Changzi City, and his brother Long He only had 10,000 troops in his hands, the form of Changzicheng was very critical, so he was ready to divide 10,000 troops to support his brother.

Seeing this, Guo Jia, a military officer disguised as Jia Guo, persuaded with a smile: "General Long, don't worry, although Long He only has 10,000 troops in the Eldest Son City, but the Eldest Son City has thick walls and all kinds of defensive equipment, Chen Qingzhi only has 40,000 troops in his hands, and there is absolutely no problem for General Long He to defend for three months."

This is just when Chen Qingzhi moved the tiger away from the mountain, I expected that Chen Qingzhi would set up an ambush halfway, and once the general left the city, he would be in the middle of the plan. ”

[Ding Dong, Guo Jia's skill 'Ghost Talent' is activated.

Ghost talent: Born with a ghost talent, he has no last resort, and he is unpredictable when he figures out people's hearts

Effect 1, after this skill is activated, it increases intelligence by 1~4 points

Effect 2, when serving as a military advisor, increase the commander's intelligence by 1~3 points. 】

[Ding Dong, Guo Jia's skill 'Ghost Talent' is activated, and when he is a military advisor, he increases the commander's intelligence by 1~3 points, and Longyang's intelligence is +3, and the current Longyang's intelligence is 73. 】

"What?"

Long Yang was shocked when he heard this, in his opinion, Jia Guonai was a famous wise man in the Ming Dynasty, and his position and prestige were much higher than his own, so he naturally would not be untargeted, he had already said so, it seemed that this was really Chen Qingzhi's plan.

"In that case, Ben will not leave the city." Long Yang said in a deep voice.

"Nope."

Guo Jia's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he smiled lightly: "It is precisely because he knows that Chen Qingzhi has set up an ambush, so he has to divide his troops to support Changzi City, and the general can completely pretend not to know, and then break Chen Qingzhi's ambush in one fell swoop." ”

Long Yang's eyes couldn't help but light up, and said with a smile: "The military advisor has a good plan. ”

Long Yang acted according to Guo Jia's plan, led 10,000 troops to his eldest son, and did not dare to fall into the forest when he saw a frightened bird halfway, knowing that there was an enemy ambush ahead.

So Long Yang slowed down the march while dividing his troops and detouring back behind the other party, preparing to give this ambush army a two-sided attack.

The luck of the dragon army was not good, this time Chen Qingzhi came in person, and when he saw the Ming army slowing down its march, he guessed that it might have been exposed, so he decisively ordered a retreat.

Seeing that the enemy had discovered his intentions, Long Yang immediately gave up the flanking attack, and pursued with all his might, and broke Chen Qingzhi in one fell swoop, killing nearly 3,000 enemy troops.

Long Yang remembered Guo Jia's advice, and after the victory, he did not continue to expand the results of the battle, and continued to go to the eldest son, but led the army back to Huguan.

Chen Qingzhi saw that Longyang was so cautious, and knew that if he wanted to capture Huguan in the short term, he might not be so easy, so he returned to the eldest son city to prepare to stabilize steadily.
