The Nanfu army attacked Yuzhou and laid down Cao Weiming's lair, and this time the troops were not sudden or decisive. At a critical moment, Lu Zheng decisively besieged Wei to save Zhao and gave Song Wensong great support.

Cao Weiming's camp, when he heard the news of the fall of Yuzhou, he was so angry that he spit out a mouthful of old blood, couldn't help beating his chest, and scolded: "Lu Zheng'er, do you really want to cut me off?" I, Cao Weiming, have been very good to you all these years, when you were in danger, I Cao Weiming was desperate to help you, and now that Xiao'er has gained the Tao, he will take revenge and want to kill me, it is really ungrateful! ”

Cao Weiming's nonsense, probably refers to the recovery of the capital when Lu Zheng was the head of the marching army, when Cao Weiming and Zhao Chongqian were his subordinates, at that time the two of them had a lot of moths, Lu Zheng skillfully used clever tricks to mobilize the two of them, and successfully won the battle.

Now Cao Weiming insists that he helped Lu Zheng in the first place, and I have to say that people are shameless and invincible in the world. However, in the current situation, no matter how he scolds, the situation is already like this, he has no way to retreat, he can only desperately attack the capital.

The battle of the capital was extremely fierce, and although Lu Zheng's siege of Wei and rescue Zhao gave Cao Weiming a huge blow, it also made Cao Weiming determined to fight to the death with Song Wensong, and the two sides fought desperately, and the situation was precarious for both sides.

In Cao Weiming's account, Zhao Zheng of the Zhao family offered a plan: "Lord Wang, now the king should repair Shandong and Huainan Dao, and tell them that this is a good opportunity to attack Jiangnan."

Jiangnan Nanfu Army has just been formed, the number one fierce general in the Nanfu Army, Liu Song, is far away from Jiangnan, to the hinterland of the two rivers, Jiangnan is empty at this time, if the Liaodong Army can take advantage of the situation to go south, and then Huainan Road can take the opportunity to cooperate, Lingnan Road can take advantage of the fire to rob, Jiangnan is desirable! ”

Cao Weiming clapped his hands and said: "Okay, I'll fix the book immediately, Lu Zheng is unrighteous to me, and don't blame me for being ruthless!" At this time, the Liaodong Army must have been eyeing it! ”

Cao Weiming walked in front of Zhao Zheng and said: "Zhao Zheng, you and I Zhao family and Cao family are one, these years have shared honor and disgrace, please rest assured, Lone is not a person who does not talk about friendship, until the end of this battle, after we take the capital, I will definitely reward the Zhao family again!" ”

Zhao Zhengdao: "The prince is polite, I, Zhao Zheng, am willing to saddle the horse for the prince." Lord Wang, there is a sentence in the current situation, I don't know if the minister should talk about it or not? ”

Cao Weiming said: "Brother Zhao Zheng, you are brothers, what can't you say in person?" Brother, but it doesn't hurt to say, listen to it alone! ”

Zhao Zheng paused and said: "Lord Wang, look at the current battle, if we can win, it will definitely be a tragic victory!" We will put all our value on this battle, even if we take the capital, maybe Lu Zheng Huangque will be behind, and suddenly launch a surprise attack on us, and then the capital will not be able to hold it again!

Once that happens, we lose the foundation of Yuzhou, I'm afraid the situation will be even more dangerous! ”

Cao Weiming was stunned, his face instantly became extremely ugly, it can really be said that the hairs on his body stood up, and the whole person exploded directly.

Immediately, he couldn't help but ask: "Brother Zhao, for today's plan, will the plan be settled?" ”

Zhao Zhengdao: "Lord Wang, we are suffering, in fact, Song Wensong is even more suffering!" As far as I know, Song Wensong has made a lot of money in order to invite Lu Zheng to send troops. He abolished all his cavalry and sent 20,000 horses to Jiangnan, which he used as a bargaining chip in exchange for Liu Song's 50,000 horses.

It is no exaggeration to say that Song Wensong pressed all the old books and desperately defended the capital. At this moment, they have the same hatred of the enemy, we continue to attack with half the effort, it is better for the prince to sue for peace with him first, the two sides sign a contract, and then the prince retreats to Bianzhou. We have taken root in Bianzhou, so that the strength of both sides can be temporarily preserved.

On the side of Bingzhou, the Song family will continue to attack Bingzhou, Song Wensong is difficult to take care of both ends, and there is no cavalry in the capital to mobilize in a short period of time, and it will inevitably not be able to develop.

We will rest for a few months, and when the soldiers are strong and strong, you will send troops again, at that time, Song Wensong will definitely not have the will to fight to the death like today, and when we take the capital, the loss is not large, and the domination of the north will be just around the corner! ”

Zhao Zheng spoke eloquently, and his words were reasonable, and many generals and strategists on the scene nodded in agreement and highly appreciated. Cao Weiming was also very moved in his heart, it is true that now that this battle has reached such a point, it is difficult for both sides to afford it.

If either side fights to the end, the result may only be a tragic victory, once it is just a tragic victory, when the crowd is competing today, there are many forces around it, even if one party takes the capital, it will be extremely difficult to hold the capital, and you can only turn back to a cheap third party.

Cao Weiming retreated first and then advanced, with the help of the Cao family, he first dealt a fatal blow to Song Wensong in Bingzhou, and then Cao Weiming attacked again, and the chance of winning the capital was much greater than now!

Cao Weiming paced back and forth, a little difficult to make a decision in his heart, and after a long silence, he said: "Why is it the lonely initiative to seek peace, not he, Song Wensong, to seek peace?" Could it be that I, Cao Weiming, am still afraid of him? ”

Zhao Zheng laughed and said: "This is precisely Song Wensong's difficulty, Song Wensong is a person who sells his reputation and reputation, and regards himself as a loyal minister of Dakang on the surface!" Because of this, he was able to open Cao Yun and purchase food and materials from Jiangnan. If he takes the initiative to ask for peace with you, won't he also become a rebel and thief? At that time, once Jiangnan turns his face, he Song Wensong is afraid that he will really fall into a desperate situation, and he will not be able to argue! ”

Zhao Zheng paused and said: "That's right, Lord Wang, you can extort this person, we can pretend to be defeated, but we have to let Song Wensong give some blood and let him make up some silver taels, and then give up."

Isn't it beautiful to turn around that the prince has obtained two silver taels, and can take the opportunity to retreat calmly without hurting the prince's strength? ”

When Zhao Zheng said this, Cao Weiming was overjoyed, laughed, and immediately said: "Okay, immediately repair the book to the city, I want to have a good talk with Song Wensong!" This kid is too young after all, and the so-called number one general in the world is nothing more than that. People in the world are afraid of him, I, Cao Weiming, are not afraid of him, if he hadn't found Lu Zheng's villain to join forces with me, he would probably have become the bone in the grave at this time! ”

In the capital, Song Wensong has stayed up for more than ten nights without sleeping, even if he is an iron body, he now looks a little haggard.

Qi Yuanzhi walked in from the outside with light steps, he looked around, and then walked straight to Song Wensong's side, and said a few words in his ear, Song Wensong raised his eyebrows, and said, "Is this true?" ”

This is absolutely true, and the current situation is indeed a step back and open up the sky for both sides! Cao Weiming wants to retreat now, he must not dare to go to Yuzhou, because Yuzhou is still in the hands of Liu Song, and the fortification of Yuzhou's city defense is not much different from that of the capital, where can Cao Weiming toss?

Cao Weiming retreated to Bianzhou, and his control over the two rivers weakened. The key is that we have a chance to breathe, and after the three generals have accumulated enough strength, the battle in Bianzhou will not be as passive as today! Qi Yuanzhi said.

Song Wensong sighed lightly and said, "This is the best!" It's just that Cao Wei is very treacherous, and he is greedy for money, I'm afraid he is not so good to get along, let's say, what conditions did he put forward? ”

Qi Yuanzhi said: "Cao Weiming doesn't ask for much, as long as the third general gives him 100,000 taels of silver for the troops!" The money ......"

"Cao Weiming is really too deceitful, he dares to ask us for money? Hmph, what kind of thing is he, our Northwest Army will be defeated by him? I think Cao Weiming himself is unbearable to fight, and he wants to retreat but deliberately deceives us, and this money can't be given! General Li Wenwu said loudly.

For the Northwest Army, honor is greater than heaven, if Song Wensong really relied on giving silver to make peace, this is indeed unacceptable, first of all, a group of brave and arrogant generals said that they could not accept it!

For a while, the tent became a pot of porridge, Song Wensong was a little troubled, and at this time, Qi Zhiyuan shouted: "Shut up for me, how can you know the plan of the three generals?"

You know only one thing, but you don't know the other. That Cao Weiming is now homeless, like a lost dog. As the saying goes, a rabbit bites when he is in a hurry, and at this time he jumps off the wall in a hurry, and naturally the edge is very strong. Although the three generals are brave, they are not willing to take the lives of the brothers in the northwest and let the mad dogs bite them!

Therefore, the three generals are planning to plan, on the one hand, let Cao Weiming withdraw his troops, and Cao Weiming's retreat will inevitably go to Bianzhou, which was originally the territory of the Zhao family.

Cao Weiming can call for wind and rain in Yuzhou, that is because he relies on the interests of his family, but after arriving in Bianzhou, will the Zhao family follow Cao Weiming's wishes? The two sides will inevitably have a quarrel when they turn back, Zhao Chongqian and Cao Weiming of the Zhao family were originally officials in the same dynasty, and at a critical time, Cao Weiming ignored Zhao Chongqian's life and death, and brazenly sent troops to the two rivers, so that the Zhao family suffered a heavy blow. The rift between the two families can no longer be repaired, and when Cao Weiming camps in Bianzhou, his death date will come, and the third general will lead the troops to cut off his head, and take back the 100,000 taels of silver lent to him with interest, and then he will make a lot of money! ”

Qi Zhiyuan talked eloquently, and said that the military generals below were all speechless, and everyone bowed down for a while, and said: "The three generals are planning to be lofty, I can't wait for it, I will wait for everything to be dispatched by the general, and there will never be a second word!" ”

Song Wensong was in a good mood, and he was even more impressed with Qi Zhiyuan. He didn't know what Qi Zhiyuan said before, but now when he heard Qi Zhiyuan say it, he knew that there were still so many contradictions within the two rivers that could be exploited.

Now for him, as long as Cao Weiming withdraws his troops and the siege of the capital is lifted, the difficulties in front of him can be passed, as for the war in the state; There are 30,000 elite soldiers in Bingzhou, and Bingzhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack, as long as the capital is relieved, Song Wenjie and Song Wenhua will inevitably panic, and at a critical time, Song Wensong can even go to the front line of Bingzhou in person, as long as he shows his face, the Song family army will definitely not be able to fight again, and the danger of Bingzhou can also be solved!

Immediately, Song Wensong no longer hesitated, and handed over 100,000 taels of silver to Qi Zhiyuan, so that he was fully responsible for discussing the withdrawal of the army with Cao Weiming.

In this way, Cao Weiming retreated after sending troops for thirty-three days and besieging the capital for seventeen days, and his army really did not dare to retreat from Yuzhou, but went straight to Bianzhou, Cao Weiming suffered heavy losses in this battle, but its elite was still there, and there were still more than 60,000 soldiers and horses in his hands.

Compared with Song Wensong's capital, there are only more than 30,000 people left, the two sides have been absent for a long time, tens of thousands of lives have been killed, blood is stained all over the city wall, and the moat is dyed red.

The war in Jiangbei came to an end, and the two rivers and Kannai were originally fiercely fighting, but in a blink of an eye they were peaceful. At this time, what attracted people's attention was the battle of merging states.

In the battle of Bingzhou, the 30,000 horses of the Bingzhou army were all the elite left by Song Wensong, and the 150,000 horses led by Song Wenjie of Longyou attacked the state, even if Song Wenjie had exaggerated elements, but Song Wenjie led at least 100,000 troops to take the state.

Longyou has always been a barren land, because it is barren and it is difficult to raise soldiers, so the family foundation that the Song family has been able to accumulate over the years is actually not rich, and it is far from the extent of competing for the world.

Song Wenjie's 100,000 soldiers and horses almost represent all the family wealth he can take, because for him, he can't take it, Longyou is completely locked up, and Longyou has lost the channel to communicate with Guanzhong and even Liaodong, which is absolutely unacceptable to Longyou.

The two sides fought very fiercely, and after 12 days of fighting, the situation was still not won or lost.

Song Wenjie stood under the city wall, looking at the city wall of Bingzhou from afar, and felt irritable in his heart, he said: "The third person, how can he train such a capable general?"

What was Li Yuanze in the first place? In the Northwest Army, he is just a lieutenant, and now he is still a fine, and he is still guarding and merging the state, hehe, you and Li Yuanze are familiar with each other, does this guy really have three heads and six arms? ”

Song Wenjie said this, many generals in the Northwest Army were red-faced, and they all felt that their faces were gloomy, this time the battle of merging states was different from the previous wars, and the two warring sides knew each other well and were very familiar with each other. Even the soldiers' attire and costumes were similar, because both sides were actually Northwest Army.

The strongest in the Northwest Army is Song Wensong, and now that the brothers Song Wensong and Song Wenjie are finally completely torn, naturally, this battle must be divided into winners and losers! Song Wenjie represents the Song family, but Song Wensong now claims to be a loyal minister of Dakang, and in the family, Song Wensong is naturally rebellious. But at the national level, the Song family and Song Wenjie have become traitors.

In such a delicate situation, the attention received by the Battle of Merge States can be imagined! Today, the battle of Bingzhou has been fought for so many days, and the time for the final decisive battle is gradually ripe......

"General, a certain Cheng Ting is willing to ask for war today! Although Bingzhou is strong, but we have been attacking the city fiercely for so many days, and Li Yuan is already at the end of the crossbow? According to our preliminary estimate, more than half of the state army should have been killed or wounded in the past ten days!

They only have a total of 30,000 horses, and now there are only more than 10,000 people in their hands, we will definitely be able to win this battle, take the state, Song Wensong will no longer be able to escape, it just so happens that we will go south in one go, attack the capital directly, and establish immortal achievements for the general! ”

Cheng Ting was born tall and big, with a beard on his face, he looked very rough and bold, and these words came out of his mouth really heroic, making people feel that the blood all over his body was boiling.

Song Wenjie was originally a talented person, and when he heard Cheng Ting's words, his blood immediately boiled, and he said loudly: "Okay, General Cheng is so heroic, General Ben will give you 20,000 horses, if you can succeed in one blow, Ben will give you the first credit!" ”

Cheng Ting got 20,000 horses, immediately counted the men and horses, blew the horn, and then he personally led, prepared siege vehicles, catapults, and fifty crossbows, the siege soldiers in front, the crossbowmen in the back, and the archers as the auxiliary, approaching the city of Bingzhou!

On the head of the city of Bingzhou, the soldiers were excited, the wooden rolling stones beckoned from top to bottom, the battle between the two sides began from a contact, it was a bloody storm, when the two sides fought to a stalemate, suddenly only heard a cannon sound, and then heard a neighing shout, and the east gate of the state was suddenly opened, and a biao people rushed out of the city gate, look at this biao cavalry, all the jujube red horses, all of them are light cavalry attire, the person headed by the person is tall and majestic, majestic and majestic, holding a halberd in his hand, who is not Song Wensong?

Song Wensong rode on a horse, rushed to the front, pointed at the enemy formation with a long halberd, and shouted: "Song Wensong is here, who can fight to the death with me in the formation!" ”

Song Wensong said, the people have already entered the enemy formation, and the cavalry behind him followed closely behind him into the camp of the siege soldiers!

This change can be described as extremely hasty, Cheng Ting only thought about attacking the city, and never dreamed that the soldiers in the city would dare to fight outside.

Look at the cavalry led by Song Wensong, everyone is like a god descending to earth, they come and go like the wind, and they are killed in front of them in an instant, and where they pass, all their lives are harvested.

It turned out that after Song Wensong lifted the siege in the capital, he immediately found a few horses and went straight to Bingzhou day and night, and there happened to be thousands of cavalry left in Bingzhou, so he immediately gathered the cavalry and personally led it to kill it directly.

Song Wensong is the first fierce general in the Northwest, and he is like a god of war in the Northwest Army.

Many people in the army shouted: "The three generals are here, the three generals are here!" ”

When many people heard Song Wensong's name, they were so frightened that they immediately threw away their armor, and Song Wensong shouted again: "Surrender to avoid death, those who dare to resist will be killed!" ”

He surrendered to avoid death, many soldiers even lost the weapons in their hands, squatted down with their heads in their hands, Cheng Ting wanted to stop it too late, but all the soldiers who were still fighting were immediately swept and killed, Cheng Ting saw that the soldiers were defeated like a mountain, and immediately ordered Ming Jin to withdraw the troops, but where are the legs of the siege soldiers under him faster than the cavalry under Song Wensong?

The soldiers saw that they couldn't escape, so they all lost their weapons and threw themselves into the matter, Cheng Ting had a total of 20,000 horses, and 10,000 surrendered directly. He fled all the way, and Song Wenjie came to the rescue in the distance, and Song Wensong had already withdrawn his troops!

In this battle, Song Wensong won a complete victory, not only won the battle, but also collected an extra 10,000 horses out of thin air, and the morale of the state was greatly boosted......
