Chapter 85: The Chu Army Comes to Attack
Luling City.
Yuan Ci is instructing his eldest son Yuan Zhang to gather the tigers in the city, and telling the son of Ji Yuan Tao to coordinate the money and food in the city.
Send Yuan Zhang, lead the tiger Ben, and deploy security in Luling.
The scouts reported that the Qin army was divided into two routes, killing Fengzhou and Anzhou, and this momentum wanted to seize Fengzhou and occupy Anzhou.
Moreover, if Lu Linxuan's army is flanked, the Qin army will occupy Fengyang County, and it will threaten Luling from the western front, so it has to be guarded!
"Ji Xuanling's ambition is really getting bigger and bigger!" In the corridor of the city tower, Yuan Ci personally came to inspect, learned of the movements of the Qin army, smashed his fist on the wall, and said indignantly.
"My lord, if you don't take precautions, the Qin army will be easy to get rid of. Fortunately, the scout sent back the news, and the king of Chu promised to send troops, and within two days, the Chu army entered the border of Penang! Shen Zhengnan reported with a straight face, with a little luck in his tone.
Unexpectedly, Yuan Ci suddenly stopped, his face was cold, and he said angrily: "Kill Penang in two days? Xiong Wei, this thief, has long coveted the land of Penang, and he is afraid that he is like a tiger hidden in the forest, stationing troops on the border of Chu in advance, waiting for an opportunity to move. ”
The land of Penang, a fertile country.
All parties peeped, in the past, it was controlled by Longdong, and the state of Chu was afraid of the edge of the tiger army, which was unattainable.
Now that Longdong has lost Penang, Xiong Wei finally showed his sharp minions.
With a long sigh of relief, Yuan Ci said resentfully: "It's okay, the Chu army entered the country, swung his sword to cut the edge of the Qin army, forced Ji Xuanling to return to the division, and relieved the danger of Longdong." ”
"The Lord's name!" Shen Zhengnan was flattering on the side.
Yuan Ci's face was unwavering, and he asked sharply: "Let's talk about the war situation in the north!" ”
"My lord, the Qin army is menacing, after breaking into Fengzhou and Anzhou, unlike when it was in Penang, the offensive is advancing by leaps and bounds, all the way steadily and steadily, step by step, the minister guesses that the Qin army's battle line is too long, and the grain and grass are tight." Shen Zhengnan reported.
"Where did the Qin army's vanguard arrive, and who led the troops?"
"Ji Xuanling led the main force to Fengzhou, entered Fengyang County, and in Anzhou, the commander of the army was Di Zhongkang and Di Zhongtai of Heguzhuang, with only 30,000 people!" Shen Zhengnan said.
Di Zhongkang?
Di Jong Tai?
Hearing the names of the two, Yuan Ci's calm face suddenly became hideous and hateful, and shouted angrily: "These two miscellaneous people defected to the Qin State, and ordered Yan Zhengfang to abandon a certain person, not to kill him, it is difficult to vent the hatred in his heart!" ”
30,000 Qin troops?
The tiger army is not in the eyes at all, and now the heavy troops are gathered in the west, southern Xinjiang, and there are few tiger troops near Luling City, which can only ensure the safety of Luling City.
When he thought about it for a while, Yuan Ci asked: "Yuan Zhang, how many troops can you gather in the tiger ben near Luling City?" ”
Hearing this, Shen Zhengnan and Yuan Zhang looked at each other, very puzzled.
Shen Zhengnan said: "Does the lord want to face this Qin army?" The Di brothers are not simple, if they are not General Ju, General Yu and the like, they may not be able to threaten each other. ”
"Hmph, if Ju Yanzhang and Yu Changxiong can be transferred back, do you still need to worry?" Yuan Ci snorted angrily, clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said: "Two days later, the Chu army entered Penang, and the Qin army was caught off guard.
Looking at the distribution of the Qin army, only Di Zhongkang, the army led by Di Zhongtai, is the closest to Penang.
Sanjiang City, Yujiang City, after being threatened by the Chu army, they will inevitably return to the division to help, if they send the Tiger Ben army to pursue, and the Chu army to fight in the north and south, defeat this Qin army, and recover the lost territory of Penang, it is not impossible. ”
In recent months, the Qin army has successively defeated the Tiger Ben army, resulting in the loss of troops in Longdong, and finally has the opportunity to take revenge, Yuan Ci does not want to miss the opportunity.
However, Shen Zhengnan's face was full of sorrow, and he clenched his fists and reminded: "Lord, if you do this, Luling City will become an empty city, if Ji Xuanling leads the army to win a big victory on the Western Front and seize Fengyang County, it will inevitably endanger Luling City!" ”
At this time, Yuan Zhang asked: "Father, the child is willing to lead the army to pursue, defeat the Qin army, and be ashamed." ”
Yuan Ci glanced at Yuan Zhang, thought about Shen Zhengnan's suggestion repeatedly, and when he was young, he still hesitated, and said: "This matter will be talked about later, Yuan Zhang, send more scouts, and find out the movements of the Qin army as soon as possible." ”
.......
Two days later.
In the middle of the day, the scouts quickly whipped back to the military newspaper.
Chu Jun.
80,000 Chu troops, divided into two routes, broke into Qindi, like a fierce tiger and wolf, pounced on Yicheng and Sanjiang City.
Yuan Ci received the news and immediately convened the military generals of Wenchen to discuss.
Shen Zhengnan, Liu Zongtao, Yuan Zhang, Yuan Tao, Yuan Kun and others gathered in the hall, Yuan Cixing grabbed the letter, signaled to everyone, and said happily: "The scout sent back the news, 80,000 excellent Chu troops, straight to Qindi, this time, Ji Xuanling does not want to make a comeback." ”
Hearing this, Liu Zongtao turned sideways and said cautiously: "Lord, reliable intelligence shows that Ji Xuanling led his troops to Anzhou and Fengzhou, and paid attention to the defenders in Yicheng and Sanjiang City respectively, and the Chu army attacked Qin, and the march and battle may not be smooth." ”
Yuan Ci was so vengeful that he even had the idea of driving a personal expedition, so he kept the documents on the desk and asked loudly: "So what, the little Qin State can still fight against Longdong at the same time." Chu State? ”
No!
The answer is obvious!
Liu Zongtao heard this and did not refute again.
The Qin army's conquest of Longdong has poured the country's troops, and the Chu army is coming, and the Qin army is invincible with both fists and four feet.
"My lord, Wei Chen suggests that you quickly send troops to secretly monitor the Di brothers, and if they lead the troops back to the division, they will be chased and killed immediately!" Shen Zhengnan clenched his fists and said with victory in his hands.
"Father, the child asks to lead the army in pursuit!" Yuan Zhang, please Ying.
"Father, the child is also willing to lead the troops!" Yuan Tao requested.
After Yuan Ci weighed the pros and cons, he said categorically: "Yuan Zhang, Zong Tao, you lead 30,000 tigers, go north to Anzhou, and strive to eat this Qin army!" ”
"Whoa!"
......
North of Luling City, in a valley.
Ji Xuanling led the army to go out day and night, and at dawn, he was stationed here.
Reading the news sent by the scouts, I learned that the Chu army had entered Penang ahead of schedule.
I can't help but feel worried, and I am concerned about the safety of Penang.
The Qin army lacked major generals, and the deployment of troops was extremely scattered, and the Chu army was attacking, and it was easy to break the Qin army one by one.
"Your Majesty, Xiong Wei is really not an idle person, he even exceeded the estimate by ten days, and sent the Chu army into Penang in advance!" Yan Zhengfang said depressedly.
According to their guess, it would take some time for the Chu army to arrive in Penang, and now the Chu army arrived ahead of schedule, making the Qin army extremely passive and all deployments need to be adjusted.
While they were hesitating, a scout hurriedly came and reported in a low voice: "Your Majesty, in the city of Luling, a tiger of about 30,000 people suddenly appeared, and it hurried to the north, with unknown intentions. ”
"Zhengfang, Yuan Ci sent this tiger ben to the north, wanting to coerce Zhong Kang and Zhong Taibu, right?" Ji Xuanling vaguely guessed the intentions of this tiger team.
"Highly likely!"
Yan Zhengfang nodded slightly, and said happily: "Your Majesty, after Yuan Song's army was defeated, the defenders in Luling City were limited, and now 30,000 tigers are sent north, and Luling City is afraid that it will become an empty city." At present, the king either sent troops to chase and kill the Tiger Ben army, or led the troops into Luling, and when the enemy army returned to the division to rescue, he ambushed and attacked it along the way. ”
"Take the Luling first, and then get rid of the tiger!" Ji Xuanling said categorically.
