Prequel: The Widow Has a Disease Chapter 42, Chu Qi Destroys the Mandarin
In the twenty-fifth year of King Lihe, the Battle of Fuling had just ended, the Chu army was defeated, and 40,000 Chu troops went from Wujiang to Qianzhong, and finally returned to Chu. The whereabouts of Chu Guowu Shengfu and the general Du Ruo are unknown.
Xiong Ran heard that the battle of Fuling was a fiasco, and he didn't care about punishing the defeated army, so he ordered to search for Fu Fault in the southwest, and he wanted to see people alive and corpses when he died.
The southernmost boundary of the country is to the middle of Guizhou, south of the middle of Guizhou, and is called the land of the Southern Barbarians. Du Ruo fled south along the Wujiang River with his husband, and he must have entered the southern barbarian territory.
Xiong Ran sent more than 50,000 people deep into the hinterland of the Nanban, the Nanban mountains are steep, the dense forests are all over, the Chu army is difficult to move an inch, and disoriented, coupled with the harassment of the Nanban savages, in the Nanban stuffy head for half a month, nothing has been gained, and the Chu army has to return in defeat.
Chu Guo had just married Song Guo and was about to show his national strength, but Wu Shengfu's mistake was unclear about his life and death, which was like a slap in the face.
Xiong Ran was furious, Bai Tengyun was the main general, and led 100,000 troops to cut down again.
Previously, Mu Er, the sage of the Zongheng family, visited Qi with heavy gifts and invited Qi to form an alliance with Chu to jointly attack the Fang State.
The temple of Qiguo was quarrelsome for a while, and Situ Zheng Shuang led him to think that the two countries of Qi and Zheng Shuang were friends of lips and teeth, and the alliance with Chu was to seek skin with the tiger. Led by Sima Haomeng, he admonished that the Ci State has always been ruthless, and now the three cities of Xinli, Gaopu, and Chaiyi are still in the hands of the Ci State, and the two countries have long had no love to talk about.
The three cities of Xinli, Gaopu and Chaiyi were originally broken by Qi Zi all the way, and Hao Meng led the army to take it back, intending to take advantage of the situation to capture Bayang, but was defeated by Jiang Wangshu in one fell swoop, and even the three cities were lost, and finally the Qi army retreated to Huoquan Pass.
It's not that Qi Wang Siqi doesn't want to take back the three cities, but because of the unparalleled Jianghou in Liangzhou, from Wu Bugu to Hao Meng, whether it is force or use of soldiers, he is not Jianghou's opponent.
Mu Er is not in a hurry, he is waiting for the battle of Fuling to come to an end, Qi Guo does not dare to form an alliance, it is nothing more than afraid of Jiang Hou, and the husband mistakenly took Jiang Wangshu's head, Qi people are naturally willing to form an alliance.
In the battle of Fuling, the Chu army was defeated, the whereabouts of Fu Cuo were unknown, and Mu Er was restless. The bargaining chip to persuade Qi to form an alliance is to kill Jiang Wangshu by mistake, and the Chu army will break Fuling, otherwise how dare to raise troops with the cowardly and fearful character of Qi people.
Muer is thinking hard about countermeasures, there are guards rumors that King Qi is invited to see, it seems that Qi also knows the smile of the battle of Fuling, and whether he has formed an alliance or not, it is decided today.
"The Chu envoy said that the Chu army attacked Fuling, and my Qi army attacked Chaiyi, and now the battle of Fuling has fallen, the Chu army has been defeated, and the legendary martial saint has died, so how can I dare to trust the Qi country." As soon as Mu Er arrived, Qiguo Situ Zheng Shuang made sarcastic remarks.
"Situ's words are wrong," Mur replied, "In the first battle of Fuling, heavy rain came, half of Chu had never crossed the river, and with 50,000 fighting the army of 90,000, how could it be regarded as a great defeat?" Wu Shengfu is wrong, invincible in Jing and Yangzhou, how can he be a mere Jianghou Bide? It's just that he was struck by lightning, and his husband has returned to Chu, and there is no big problem. ”
"Is that true? The widow heard that Jiang Hou had been struck by lightning and died, and it was really okay for his husband to be wrong? Qi Wang Siqi asked.
Mu'er is a vertical and horizontal saint, and his heart is so good, he replied without changing his face: "If the king doesn't believe it, he can send someone to Chu to inquire, and the husband is recuperating in Yingdu."
King Qi Siqi believed it to be true and exclaimed: "The truth is a god and a man."
Seeing King Qi loosen his mouth, Hao Meng said: "Wang, the state of Fang has betrayed its promise, invaded our borders, disturbed our people, and violated our country's prestige.
Qi Wang Siqi nodded happily: "Good."
Qi Wang Siqi had made up his mind, and Situ Zheng Shuang no longer made that senseless persuasion and kept silent.
In the twenty-fifth year of King Lihe, Lixia and Chu Qi formed an alliance to jointly attack the Fang Kingdom.
Yingdu, Xiong Ran let people spread the news, first, the husband is recuperating, and second, Jiang Wangshu has died.
In addition, Xiong Ran Bai Tengyun was the main general, leading 100,000 soldiers to Qianzhong. Fuling was defeated, and his husband's whereabouts are unknown, how could he give up? In addition, he coveted the benefits of salt water springs in Qianzhong and Fuling in the Tongguo Kingdom.
Xiong Ran worshiped Hou Chuan as the main general and led 50,000 troops to attack Baiyue. Now the land of Baiyue has been occupied by the Chu State, and the Baiyue people have retreated to Nanling. Hou Chuan led his troops all the way south, and then went west, straight to the barbarian realm.
Conquer Baiyue in the Ming Dynasty and secretly attack the Southern Barbarians.
King Qi Siqi worshiped Sima Hao Meng as the main general and crusaded against the Fang State. Hao Meng formed an army to live at Quanguan and waved his army south.
Huoquanguan is the place where Hao Meng became famous, where he burned the army of Qizi, the former doctor of Chaiyi, and now he is a national Sima and a high power.
Huoquanguan almost ruined him again, it was Chen Bingqishui, who planned to point his sword at Bayang, but he was defeated by Jiang Wangshu and fled all the way back to Huoquanguan.
History will not repeat itself, and now that Jiang Wangshu is a dead man, who can stop him?
Chu Qi formed an alliance to defeat the Mandarin people, the people of the Mandarin country were panicked, the Mandarin capital was overcast, and the king of the Mandarin was so worried.
After the battle of Fuling, Qi Zi returned to his hometown, and the king of Fang named Fan Tu as the Taibao, at this time Fan Tu was leading the army to garrison Qianzhong and confronting the Chu army.
The Shu Kingdom in the west was about to move, Basang was young and overwhelmed by the heavy responsibility, and after Ba Chuang returned from Fuling, he went to the west to sit in the town.
At present, Qi Guo has taken Chaiyi and Gaopu directly, and if Xinli is lost, Bayang will be difficult to protect. However, there is no one available in the hands of the king of the fang, who can be up to the task, to garrison Bayang.
The king of the fang was so anxious that he was in charge of the four people, Ba Chuang was in the west, Fan Di was in the east, and Acacia was in the south, but the Jiangcheng Jianghou in the north was missing.
"Summons the order to be acacia and immediately rush to the aid of Bayang." King Fang had no choice but to dispatch Acacia from the south.
"Does Uncle Qing have a solution?" Xiang Xi asked.
Now three kilometers away, Qi Zi has retired, Fan Di is in Fuling, Ri Qin Boxian is immersed in grief, and the Zhu ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are only Qing Bo who can rely on him.
"The state of Chu is menacing, and you can't go without fighting. The old minister is willing to send an envoy to the Qi country. Uncle Qing gave up.
Xiang Xi had to agree, and Uncle Qing traveled lightly and went to Bayang.
Along the way, Uncle Qing had a lot of thoughts, if it was Sima of Qi or Wu Bugu, he would definitely be able to retreat, but Wu Bugu had already gone into hiding, and the new Sima Hao Meng was a corner who was eager to make contributions, not to mention that he was going to see King Qi, even to see Hao Meng It was not an easy task.
Uncle Qing had just arrived in Jiangcheng, and Hao Meng had already led a large army of Chen Bing Qishui (called the Tongjiang River in the Mandarin State). At present, Acacia has not yet arrived in Bayang, and Bayang Doctor Lango ordered someone to cut off the pontoon bridge, temporarily blocking the pace of Hao Meng's army to invade the south.
In the twentieth year of King Lihe, at the turn of summer and autumn, Jiang Wangshu boated on the river, along the way or asked the fisherman about the harvest, or inspected the water conservancy, and occasionally had leisure and elegance, so he left poems. When he governed the army, he was the first person in Liangzhou, and when he governed the people, he was a reckless poet.
The boat is about to arrive in Bayang, the sky is getting late, the sunset splashes a picture of wind and rain on the river, Jiang Wangshu leans on the shore of the boat, ready to go to the nearby fishing village to rest.
This fishing village is called Lanpu, and Jiang Wangshu saw two groups of people pushing each other from a distance. When they got closer, they saw that it was two families grabbing water.
Lanpu has the water name Lanxi, the Miaojia paddy field is on the top, and the Lanjia paddy field is on the bottom. At the turn of summer and autumn, it is the time when the rice draught is critical, and this kind of thing happens from time to time in various places. Jiang Wangshu was not in a hurry to go over to adjust, wanting to see how these farmers would resolve the dispute.
Soon Li Zheng came, Li Zheng didn't notice Jiang Wangshu, and went straight to the crowd.
"Uncle, this Lan family wants to rob my family of water." The first person to sue the wicked was a middle-aged man named Miao Yun.
When the Lan family saw that Li Zheng was coming, they knew that he must be partial to their nephew Miao Yun, so they only scolded in their hearts, not daring to show a little unhappiness. However, the young Lango stood up and argued with Miao Yun.
Li Zheng said impatiently, "I'll go and see who is telling lies."
The two families went up along Lanxi, and Jiang Wangshu followed.
Miao Yun glanced back and saw that this person was dressed ordinarily and his temperament was indeed good, so he didn't dare to go too far, so he asked, "Who are you?" Why follow us? ”
Jiang Wangshu bowed his hand: "I'm from the other side of the mountain."
Jiang Wangshu followed Miao Yun and his party to the two paddy fields, and when they didn't leave, Miao Yun asked again: "Why did you follow us?"
Miao Yun was not good-tempered, he used to treat him politely because he didn't think he was like an ordinary farmer, but now this person has the meaning of watching the excitement, and he is no longer polite.
Jiang Wangshu didn't pay attention to him, just looked at the two paddy fields, obviously the Miao family's paddy fields were full of water, and the Lan family's paddy fields were almost dry.
Li Zheng probably felt that he was at a loss, so he asked, "What do you say?"
"You don't care, I'll tell you," Lan Ge first turned back to persuade his family, and then said to Li Zheng, "How about the water of Lanxi, each leading for three days?" ”
Before Li Zheng could speak, Jiang Wangshu high-fived and said, "Okay."
"What does it have to do with you?" Miao Yun no longer gave Jiang Wangshu a good look.
"Nature has something to do with me, I can't do anything about fighting rice, and I'm ashamed to eat thousands of stones." Jiang Wangshu replied with a smile.
The big citrus doctor eats 100 stones, the Qing doctor eats 1,000 stones, and the three princes eat 10,000 stones. Eating thousands of stones and rice, and haunting this place again, only Jiang Hou is there.
"Your name is Rango?" Jiang Wangshu ignored everyone's surprised expressions, he liked this back mountain called Lango very much.
Lan Ge nodded, half-believing and half-questioning: "Are you really Jiang Hou?"
Jiang Wangshu nodded and said, "You have the talent to control water, do you want to govern the people and the army?"
Lan Ge is a smart person, Jiang Hou started from the grass He knows, Jiang Hou no matter the origin of the person he knows, so he bowed down and said: "Parents are on the side, you can't bow down, Lan Ge was born late, I have seen Jiang Hou."
If it weren't for Jiang Wangshu's recommendation, Xu Lange's life would have been farming, fighting for water, harvesting, being lucky, and becoming a good man.
Fate is so wonderful, because of the small division of water, and it happens that Jiang Wangshu is here.
Lan Ge is brave and good at fighting, and he has the style of Jiang Hou back then, but what he lacks is only opportunities. Previously, Jiang Wangshu conquered the Qi Kingdom, and Lan Ge was the vanguard, breaking the two cities of Xinli and Gaopu, and was recommended by Jiang Hou to serve as a doctor in Bayang.
It was rumored that Jiang Hou was dead, and Acacia was still halfway, and Lan Ge became the backbone of 20,000 soldiers in Bayang.
"You are the soldiers brought out by Jiang Hou, and so am I. What should I do if someone deceives me? Rango shouted as he cried out in mourning his father.
"Fight!"
"Fight!"
"Fight!"
20,000 soldiers, arrayed on the riverside, the cry shook the sky.
"Kill." Lan Ge ordered that less than half of the Qi army had crossed the Fang River at this time, and it was the time to attack.
From the floodplain to Bayang, all you can hear is the sound of gold and iron, and the field of vision is full of swords, guns, halberds and spears.
Qi was divided into four armies, Miao Kuo led the front army of 10,000, and landed on the beach; General Qi Zheng Hong led the left army of 10,000, Qi general Bolang led the right army of 10,000, and Sima Hao Meng sat in the middle army.
The Qi army crossed the river, and before it was arrayed, it was dragged into the battle, and the formation was chaotic early.
The Qi army had 50,000 men, but the formation was uneven; The army is only 20,000, but it has a favorable location, and the two sides fought fiercely in Bayang, and the sky was full of smoke and dust.
Acacia received an order from King Citrus, and rushed to Bayang to catch up with Uncle Qing in Jiangcheng.
"Uncle Qing is also going to Bayang?" Acacia respected Uncle Qing very much, and dismounted to ask.
"Si, I'm different from you, I'm going to ask for peace, and you're going to war." Uncle Qing frowned, worried.
"No, the eldest brother is the same as me, all for the sake of the Great Mandarin Guozuo." Acacia naturally sensed the seriousness of the matter, and the four realms of the Mandarin Kingdom were all strong enemies.
Uncle Qing suddenly glanced at Acacia, there are not many descendants of the Xiang family, and there are even fewer people who can achieve great things, this Acacia can only be said to be one or two points stronger than the group of mediocre people who eat and wait for death, and barely mix a young master. Today's lovesickness glanced at it, but it made Uncle Qing ashamed.
Acacia noticed that Uncle Qing looked at him a little strangely, and thought that he had said the wrong thing, so he said again: "Big brother Wen Taowuluo, Si is just a puppet."
Uncle Qing is not picky, Acacia has always been arrogant, if he knows that he treats him differently, wouldn't his tail be in the sky? So he urged Acacia to rush to Bayang first.
Acacia received the order and led thousands of light horsemen straight to Bayang.
As soon as Acacia arrived in Bayang, he saw that Lango had already pushed to the edge of Bayang City and confronted the Qi army.
The two armies fought, the enemy was outnumbered, Lango was outnumbered, half of the dead and wounded, and the remaining 10,000 people could only retreat to Bayang and defend to the death.
The Qi army reorganized its formation, and the thousand armies were almost completely killed and wounded, so the four armies were divided into three armies, Zheng Hong led the left army, Bolang led the right army, and Hao Meng sat in the middle army.
Coupled with the light cavalry brought by Acacia, the Fang army was only 15,000, and the Qi army had 40,000. Acacia knew it in his heart and commanded the fang army to retreat to Bayang.
"Young master, I have a plan," Rango said, "I will lead 10,000 people to meet it head-on, and ask the young master to lead 5,000 light cavalry to make a roundabout sneak attack." ”
Acacia has always looked down on Jiang Wangshu for being reckless, obviously from a low background, but he just wants to get ahead.
The western realm was originally a blessed land for his lovesickness and achievements, but in the end, Jiang Wangshu was fulfilled and asked him to worship the marquis. Now that Jiang Wangshu is about to die, Lan Ge has come forward again, this Lan Ge is recommended by Jiang Wangshu, and he is reckless, and he is a new Hou of the Jiang River.
Acacia sneered: "The enemy is outnumbered, and I know that I am not invincible, and I am fighting, and I do it." How many years have you read the art of war, and how many years have you been in the army? ”
Acacia's aggressive tone caused several Jiangzhou military generals to be dissatisfied, and they all followed Jiang Wangshu to fight.
Jia Fu, a general of the Jiangzhou Military Department, stood up and asked in a muffled voice: "How many battles has Zhigui fought?" How many battles have you won? How many cities have you taken? How many generals have you killed? ”
Jiangzhou Military General Ji Ying said: "Jianghou has been in the army for 15 years, has been fighting horses for 25 years, and has served 36 times; Thirty-six battles must be won in every battle, and there is no defeat; successively took the thirteen cities of Shu, and lost them in the hands of memorials; A total of forty-six generals were killed, and they were on par with the martial saints of Chu. ”
Acacia's face turned black when he heard this, in the fifteenth year of King Lihe, the battle of eastern Sichuan, Jiang Wangshu took the seven cities of Shu. When Jiang Wangshu went to Jiangcheng to take office, all the seven cities fell, and the general of eastern Sichuan was his lovesickness. Isn't the mediocrity that Ji Ji said about him?
"Alright, ladies and gentlemen, at the moment of the great enemy, it is imperative to retreat from the enemy." Lan Ge saw that all the generals of the Jiangzhou army were speaking for themselves, and he was more moved than sighed, but Jiang Hou was such an amazing character, but he was jealous, and his life and death were unknown.
"I have killed the enemy since I went into battle, and my husband should be martyred for his country, and his body should be shrouded in horse leather." Jia Fu glanced at Acacia with disgust, and drew his sword with the Jiangzhou military general.
"Please lead the young master to sneak around the rear of the light horse." Rango clenched his fists in salute.
Acacia snorted coldly, this group of horsemen didn't say anything. Rango couldn't wait, drew his sword and went into battle, leaving behind lovesick and five thousand light horsemen looking at each other.
Rango and a group of Jiangzhou military generals took the lead, and none of the 10,000 Jiang troops retreated in the face of a strong enemy four times their own.
"Please give the order." First one or two, then a thin one, and finally five thousand light horsemen all knelt on the ground and begged for their lives, "Please give the order." ”
"Lango, I can't stand it, what kind of fame is Acacia doing?" Jia Fu was stabbed twice, and one sword slashed down an enemy soldier, but unexpectedly fell into a heavy encirclement, and all the robes beside him fell, only Rango was still there.
"Where's General Ji?" Rango supported Jia Fu, and the two fought and retreated.
"Lao Ji, he is one step ahead of me," Jia Fu smiled sadly, pushed Lan Ge away, rushed into the enemy formation, waved his sword in his hand, and shouted in his mouth, "Live well, Jiang Hou said that you have the style of his year, you ......"
Jia Fu's voice did not fall, several swords were in his body, his eyes were full of unwillingness, his heart was worried, and his consciousness gradually blurred.
"Kill." When Lango and the remnants of the soldiers had no way to retreat, the Qi army was full of killings, and Acacia finally led 5,000 light horsemen to detour behind the enemy and launched a charge.
"Kill." Rango responded, and the fang army turned from defense to attack, holding the heart of death, and re-entered the enemy formation.
The Qi army had already begun to show victory, and suddenly fell into encirclement, thinking that the reinforcements of the Fang State were coming, and the formation was in chaos.
When Hao Meng was still a doctor in Chaiyi, he read military books and used soldiers, the military heart was the first, and the array was second.
At present, the army's morale is broken, the formation is in chaos, and no matter how he commands, the defeat is decided.
Hao Meng was unwilling in his heart, and the battle with Qi Zi gave him great confidence, thinking that he was a genius in Tianzhong, who would have expected that Jiang Wangshu would give him a head start.
Now that it is rumored that Jiang Wangshu is dead, who else in the Fang Kingdom can stop him? was blocked by a nobody, he was really unwilling.
What if he was unwilling, Hao Meng lost his soul and was depressed, and the hot breath made him even more irritable, he drew his sword and slashed indiscriminately, regardless of whether he was the enemy or me, and was hugged by Miao Kuo.
"Sima, it's me, Miao Kuo." Miao Kuo witnessed Hao Meng ascend to the sky from a nobody, burning the army of Qizi, winning more with less is simply a rare talent, he couldn't bear to see Hao Meng so depressed.
"Miao Kuo, we're defeated?" Hao Meng came back to his senses, and he was dragged to the river by Miao Kuo, surrounded by remnants of defeated soldiers.
"Sima, we have lost," Miao Kuo saw that Hao Meng was depressed, and changed his words, "We can reorganize our people and come again, this battle is already hasty." ”
"Miao Kuo, wait for me to tell the king, please Wu Bugu come out of the mountain." After Hao Meng finished speaking, he drew his sword and killed himself, but Miao Kuo didn't stop him.
A generation of Sima Hao Meng, self-slaughtering on the bank of the river.
