"The Xi family divided into two expenses more than 100 years ago, and the branch that entered Chenzhou has been multiplied for a hundred years, and there are only more than 1,000 people in Xiying's generation, and they have not been able to enter the list of Chenzhou surnames. However, Xiying is a scheming person, not to mention, he gave birth to ten sons, all of them have brute strength, brave and brave, after adulthood, Xiying made them each govern a village, in just a few years, then the small village for the middle village, the village for the big village, the Chenyang County and the western part of the Pupu territory have been occupied, and the people under the rule have also expanded to more than 20,000 people. The person who guards the old dragon's head is the seventh son of Xiying, Xijuhu, and the strongest person among the ten sons of Xiying, but his temper is more short-tempered, and sometimes Xiying has no way to take him! The washing tiger was originally the head of the chicken village, and at this time, Xi Ying personally sat in the chicken village, but sent the washing tiger to guard such an inconsequential place as Nanpo Village, it should be some kind of contradiction! ”

Xi Xunqiao pointed to the big man in armor who tore through the encirclement and fled to the north slope of the old dragon's head with dozens of soldiers, and introduced some information about the Chenzhou Xi clan to Han Qian.

Han Qian summoned Xixunqiao to Longya City in September, hoping that he would be different from Yang Zaili and Xiang Jianlong, and he could serve Xuzhou, but Xixunqiao had all kinds of worries in his heart.

In particular, he didn't believe very much in his heart that the Han family father and son were loyal to the Great Chu court, and he was unwilling to help the Han family father and son divide Xuzhou - Xixunqiao was different from the vast majority of generals and chiefs, he read poetry and books, and preferred that the world could be unified one day, rather than the overlords and princes who would cut the world into pieces.

After Zheng Hui arrived in Xuzhou, on the one hand, he confirmed the matter of cutting the domain, confirmed that the father and son of the Han family were indeed loyal to the Great Chu court, and on the other hand, he also confirmed the determination and investment of the imperial court to cut the domain.

So at this time, Xi Xunqiao told Han Qian some secrets of the surname of Chenzhou - this was the scout sent by Han Qian before, and it was difficult to reconnoiter it in a short time.

Han Qian took the telescope and saw Kong Xirong getting up from the ground, and it seemed that there should be no big problem from a distance, so he listened attentively to Xixunqiao's introduction to the situation of the Chenzhou general.

The armored man was half a head taller than Kong Xirong, and he was entangled by Zheng Xingxuan and Kong Xirong with more than 100 armor soldiers, but he didn't expect a heavy hammer to smash Kong Xirong to the ground.

Han Qian naturally arranged to collect and analyze the intelligence of Xiying and his ten sons a long time ago, but he didn't really pay attention to the legend of Xi's ability to shoot a tiger, thinking that those were either false rumors and exaggerations, or rumors that the Chenzhou Xishi clan deliberately released to deter other forces.

At this moment, he was deeply shocked by the bravery of the tiger shooting tiger for the armored man and the tiger shooting general called by the people of Chenzhou.

Kong Xirong is already one of the few brave generals on their side, and the Washing Tiger has been entangled by many armor guards, there is a stick of incense, and there are seven or eight on the shoulder, back and abdomen, and the armor on his body is almost stained red by the blood oozing out, in this situation, he can still absolutely suppress Kong Xirong in terms of strength!

This also gave Han Qian a new understanding of the bravery of the generals of Chenzhou.

Although Xiying's other sons may not have such martial arts as Xi's tiger, even if they have reached the level of Tiancheng and Kong Xirong, and can be so fearless of death, how heavy will they have to pay to capture Jiming Village?

Even if they captured the Nanpo Stone Village of the old dragon head, they all paid hundreds of casualties, and the Jiming Village was far from being comparable to the Nanpo Stone Village.

Jiming Village is located on the north slope of Longya Mountain, which is equivalent to the Wuliuxi water diversion weir, and Chenshui, the largest tributary of the Yuan River in Chenzhou, passes through the north of Jiming Village.

Chenyang was placed in the county very early, and the local Hakka people also governed Chenshui very early, inhabited and multiplied, and Jiming Village was the second largest city after Chenyang City in its territory, and there were hundreds of households living in the village alone.

Due to the proximity of Chenyang City to Yuanshui, the Hakka power is relatively strong, and the Xi family has the intention to develop Jiming Village as the main village, and they don't know how much food they have invested in building the city wall in recent years.

At this time, Xiying gathered more than 2,000 soldiers in Jiming Village, and there were more than 1,000 soldiers stationed in Chenyang City, which was not strong under Jiming Village at the mouth of the Chenshui River.

If the guards in Jiming Village and Chenyang City are as brave as the soldiers in Nanpo Shizhai, what price do they have to pay to gnaw down these two key places?

Seeing Kong Xirong walk back, Han Qian and Feng Yi walked over and saw that the heart goggles on his chest were smashed into a large piece, and called the doctor over to confirm that Kong Xirong's sternum and organs were fine, and then let him go down to rest.

"I'm afraid it's not okay to storm Jiming Village and Chenyang City." Feng Yu hesitated and said to Han Qian.

Han Qian now seems to have handed over the military power, but the more than 3,000 armor soldiers are managed by his hard work, and he will be heartbroken if he loses the slightest loss - he also understands more at this time that some generals do everything possible to protect their strength, sometimes it is not pure fear of death and cowardice, but more often it is really reluctant to give up this bit of family background.

He naturally didn't want to see Zheng Hui command the Wuling Army to storm Jiming Village and Chenyang City, but if he didn't attack it, how should this battle be fought?

At this time, the Nanpo Village was defeated, and the remnants of the soldiers fled to Jiming Village, Zheng Hui wanted to convene the generals to discuss the gains and losses of this battle, so that the Nanpo Village was cleaned up, and the miscellaneous wood and stones piled up in the Laolong Gorge were cleaned out, so that the soldiers and horses could enter the territory of Chenzhou through the Old Dragon Gorge, which was something that Han Qian had to manage.

With the help of Feng Yi, Chen Jitang, Du Junyue, Zhao Qi and others, Han Qian didn't need to personally ask about these cumbersome matters, but he didn't want to interfere with Zheng Hui's command as the chief general at this time, so he deliberately spent it here, and did not get involved in Zheng Hui's summoning of the generals to summarize and review the war.

Before dark, the passage of Laolongxia was cleared out, and a soldier of the Wuling Army camped at the north entrance of Laolongxia, and a soldier stationed in the half-crippled Nanpo Village, so there was no need to worry about the soldiers daring to come and attack the camp at night.

When it was dark, Han Qian personally ran over to inspect the camp and sentry post at the north entrance to confirm whether there were any flaws, and then Zheng Hui sent someone to invite him to Nanpo Village.

Half of the walls of Nanpo Village were damaged, and the few stilted villages in the village were also smashed seven or eight, and they were roughly cleaned up and used as the forward command hall of the Wuling Army, which was also very simple.

Han Qian walked into the hall, Tian Cheng, Gao Shao, Lin Haizheng, Zhang Ping, Zheng Xingxuan, Yuan Guowei and others had all been summoned by Zheng Hui and saluted, and Han Qian sat down behind the long case opposite Zhang Ping.

"Storming Jiming Village, I'm afraid that the generals of the Wuling Army will not be able to bear such heavy casualties, we have to think of a strategy to lure out the soldiers in Jiming Village!" Zheng Hui got straight to the point and went directly to the topic to discuss the follow-up battle plan.

"Lord Zheng also knows that my father and I are here, why did I ask Lord Zhang for help to lure the four clans to attack the Eagle Fish Village?" Han Qian spread his hands on the long case and said, "The terrain around Jiming Village is even more dangerous than that around Eagle Fish Village, which is not conducive to laying war weapons. Of the more than 2,000 soldiers stationed, if there were such brave soldiers guarding Nanpo Village today, I am afraid that the Wuling army would be exhausted, and they might not be able to defeat it. Jiming Village is a real brick-wrapped rammed earth wall, even if it is a large whirlwind cannon, there is no ten days and half a month, don't think about being able to collapse a corner. And the 2,000 brave soldiers will not obediently stay in the city, and sit back and watch us bombard them with whirlwind cannons outside the stockade! ”

"We really want to attack Jiming Village honestly, or we don't want to have too many casualties, to say the least, it will take a month to gnaw down, but the soldiers and horses assembled in Tanzhou in Wuling County will only need five or six days to reach Chenyang in the reverse water at the earliest," Zheng Hui said, "I wonder, do we have any way to lure out the soldiers in Jiming Village?" It's just that I heard that Xiying is a scheming person, Lord Han, what kind of tricks do you have to make the soldiers fall into the plan. ”

"......" Han Qian was just about to find an excuse to dismiss the matter, Zheng Hui said with a smile, "Xichuan was able to win the first battle, thanks to your design to defeat the elite of the Liang army, and the situation in Xuzhou was able to calm down so quickly, it was all due to Lord Han's ingenuity." It may be okay for me to lead the troops to attack the city and pull out the fortress, but now is obviously not the time to attack the city and pull out the fortress with one board and one eye.

Seeing that Zheng Hui said sincerely, Han Qian frowned and thought about it seriously.

Han Qian thought to himself that Xiying's ten sons were all brave and warlike, as long as the treacherous Xiying did not personally sit in Jiming Village, but one of Xiying's sons guarded Jiming Village, it was still possible to lure the guards of Jiming Village out and annihilate them in the field!

Han Qian thought for a while and said: "Today's guard of Nanpo Village, the Tiger is brave, I am shocked, I believe everyone is very impressed, but he is more than brave, but his composure is insufficient, otherwise, he should take the initiative to give up Nanpo Village today, instead of almost falling into our siege." If the tiger is injured this time and does not die, and Chenzhou uses him as the guard of Jiming Village, it will be easy to lure the soldiers out. ”

"That being said, how should we tell Xiying to leave the Jiming Village, and use the Xihua Tiger to guard the Jiming Village?" Zhang Ping asked with a deep groan.

"This can be arranged in this way: on the one hand, we want to exaggerate the casualties of our battle today, release the rumors, and say that Lord Zheng is deeply shocked by the courage of the tiger general, thinking that there is a tiger shooting tiger in Jiming Village, and it will be Wanfu Moke, and Chenzhou uses him to guard a small village like Nanpo Stone Village, which is really overkill; On the other hand, the water camp should also be dispatched, and I will also cooperate with the water camp more, go down the Yuanshui, attack Lipu and other places, and force the surname of Chenzhou to send enough important people to sit in the town, and at the same time, our side will also send a part of the troops and horses to the eastern front, so that Chenzhou will mistakenly think that we are going to bypass the Jiming Village and reduce the importance of the Jiming Village in Chenzhou......" Han Qian said.

"Striking the West from the East, this method is worth trying." Zheng Hui praised.

Han Qian said: "Xijuhu was originally the guard of Jiming Village, and under the role of many parties, if Xiying did not hand over the right to guard the village to him, most of them would have a falling out. When the Tiger Shoots the Tiger alone to defend the Jiming Village, Lord Zheng led his troops out of the Laolong Gorge, bypassing the Jiming Village to attack Chenyang City, and when the attack on Chenyang City was frustrated and had to retreat to the Laolong Gorge, if the Tiger can still survive and not move, then we can only honestly attack the Jiming Village! ”
