Chapter Ninety-Six: Regrouping
Chapter Ninety-Five: Re-arrangement
"My lord, yesterday Lu Dengda led his troops to retreat to Shaozhou City, and the rebels led by Zhu Yiluan also arrived under the city, and they have not yet attacked. Bayi Chinese Net ???.? 8?1?z??.? As soon as it was dark, Chen Qingping rushed to see Shen Chongming with the latest information.
Shen Chongming's brows furrowed, and the scout didn't return all night, so he guessed such an ending. Fortunately, Shaozhou City was not lost, and it is possible to rearrange the troops.
"Lord Chen, immediately send someone to Shaozhou City and tell Lu Dengda that if you lose Shaozhou City again, this official will not spare it!" Shen Chongming raised his head and commanded.
"Yes, the lower official will arrange it later. But my lord, how to fight this battle next, can you inform Lu Dengda of the plan in advance, so that he doesn't know the bottom of his heart. Chen Qingping said cautiously, he didn't sleep all night last night, and after thinking about it, he finally realized that one of the reasons for the failure of this plan was that communication was not good.
Shen Chongming actually thought of this, and he was also responsible for this matter, otherwise based on this matter alone, he would have to change generals to take Lu Dengda down. Now that he heard Chen Qingping say this, Shen Chongming nodded and said: "Tell Lu Dengda that you must hold on to Shaozhou City for five days, and find a way to get all the rebels to attack the city, and then this official will wait for the opportunity to attack the rebels from behind." As long as this errand is done, the official will not be responsible for the loss of Shaoshi Mountain. ”
Hearing this, Chen Qingping couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, afraid that Shen Chongming would be angry and press the charges on him, with his power, Lu Dengda must be in a catastrophe!
"Yes, the next official will do it." Chen Qingping hurried away, and his steps were much lighter unconsciously.
"Ordered the army, detour to the front line of Guishan in Shaoshi Mountain, and send scouts along the way to explore the surrounding situation, and now the rebel scouts are not allowed to let go." Shen Chongming turned back to the herald and commanded.
In Shaozhou City, Lu Dengda, who was standing at the head of the city to check the enemy situation outside the city, frowned. The rebels are in a tight position, with swords and guns like a forest, and their morale is like a rainbow, and they look like they are about to attack the city at any time. The people in the city were panicked, and the rebels even made a siege of three and one missing, so that they couldn't do anything if they wanted to.
At present, the people he sent to find Shen Chongming's department did not bring back any useful news, how could this Shaozhou City be defended?
Just when Lu Dengda was full of sorrow, a close guard hurriedly walked over and whispered: "My lord, the rebels have sent someone to ask for a meeting, and they are waiting outside the east gate right now. ”
Lu Dengda raised his eyebrows, at this juncture, the rebels sent someone to see him, so even a fool can know what is going on. After a moment of contemplation, Ludenda commanded: "Shoot away the arrows, and remember not to hurt his life." ”
"Lu Dengda avoided it, and it seems that he didn't plan to use it for solitary purposes." The people who went to persuade the surrender came back in disgrace, and Zhu Yiluan, who originally thought that he could force Lu Dengda to lead his troops to surrender with this formation, immediately became unhappy. When he saw it, he drove his people back, and it seemed that this Lu Dengda was the king who had eaten the scales, and he was determined to hit the stone with an egg.
Cheng Jingye, who was standing on the side, smiled and persuaded: "The little prince is a little restless, according to his subordinates, this Lu Dengda is only afraid that he is tempted, otherwise how can the people sent by the little prince return safely?" ”
"Oh, what do you mean?" Zhu Yiluan raised his head and asked, if this guy has the intention of surrendering, why should he meet his envoy and see the conditions.
"Little prince, you think, if Lu Dengda really doesn't agree, how can he easily let our people come back alive in order to show his determination?" Cheng Jingye asked with a smile, as long as Lu Dengda's attitude is not resolute, he will be able to take him down sooner or later!
"There is some truth in what you said, so you have to pay attention to what to do about this matter, and the time must not be delayed for too long." Zhu Yiluan nodded and ordered.
After getting the authorization, Cheng Jingye immediately set up, while collecting Lu Dengda's hobbies, and at the same time sending several waves of people to carry out the project, he was bound to force Lu Dengda to surrender in a two-pronged manner.
The war outside the city is urgent, and Ludenda in the city is also an ant on a hot pot. The scouts sent out returned one after another, and there was no trace of the 30,000 troops led by Shen Chongming!
"Damn, where the hell did you flee to?" Lu Dengda gritted his teeth, at this time he was already convinced that Shen Chongming had escaped from the battle, and he had also engulfed an army of 30,000!
"My lord, the rebels have sent an envoy to see you." Just then, a guard came in to report.
Lu Dengda took a deep breath, waved his hand, and said, "Take him into the city secretly, and don't publicize it." "Now that Shen Chongming has fled, what kind of strength do you still hold onto, such a court is not saved at all!
Before the rebel envoys arrived, just as Ludenda pondered what conditions to mention, the heralds sent by Ludenda finally arrived.
As soon as he heard the report, Lu Dengda was suddenly frightened, and after a few turns, he hurriedly summoned a guard to whisper a few words.
"So, Lord Shen led his troops to Incheon?" Lu Dengda was dumbfounded, no wonder he couldn't find any trace of them, it turned out that he had run to Incheon.
This time, it was Chen Qingping's cronies who were ordered to come to convey the military order, "Yes, Lord Lu, originally according to Lord Shen's plan, he was to join the troops to attack the rebels on the front line of Guishan in Shaoshi Mountain, but you lost your position in less than a day, so Lord Shen was very annoyed. ”
"This ...... This ......" Lu Dengda immediately lost his mind, and complained about others, never expecting that this matter was all his own fault.
Seeing that he was in a hurry, the person who came hurriedly persuaded: "But Lord Lu, don't worry, Lord Chen has already interceded for you in front of Lord Shen, and Lord Shen has also promised not to blame the past, as long as you stick to Shaozhou City for five days." ”
Lu Dengda couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, ignoring for the time being who was responsible for the failure of the plan, just by losing his position, Shen Chongming could completely pick off his head. Now that he has promised not to blame the past, then his head can be saved.
"Then thank you Lord Chen, please tell Lord Chen and Lord Shen that I, Lu Dengda, can make a military order, if I can't hold Shaozhou City for five days, I am willing to be dealt with by military law." Lu Dengda almost patted his chest and reassured. I have already made a mistake once, and if I don't make some meritorious deeds this time, my career will end here.
The person who came nodded, got up and hugged his fists and said, "That's fine, then the lower official will repay Lord Chen." ”
"Okay, the rebels were repelled that day, and Lu thanked him again." Lu Dengda didn't stay long, and it was best to let Chen Qingping and Shen Chongming know their intentions as soon as possible.
As soon as the people left, Lu Dengda passed a secret order, beheaded the rebel envoy, and hung his head on the head of the city, in order to show his determination to live and die with Shaozhou City!
Lu Dengda's play can be regarded as a pit for Cheng Jingye, and Zhu Yiluan became angry with him for the first time.
"Didn't you say that Ludenda intended to surrender? How can I say it now, what is it that kills Lone's envoy is not slapping Lone's face in public? Zhu Yiluan jumped like thunder, and regarded this incident as a great shame, it was simply a matter of being played.
"The little prince is angry, let his subordinates think about it." Cheng Jingye was also panicked, this Lu Dengda was uneasy to play his cards with common sense, could it be that he deliberately did this to trick the little prince?
"Hmph, what else is there to ponder, immediately ordered the siege of the city, broke the city of Shaozhou, and wanted to cut this ignorant dog thing with a thousand knives to relieve the hatred in his heart!" Zhu Yiluan waved his hand and didn't want to listen to Cheng Jingye's nonsense.
This man is successful in making plans in ordinary affairs, and as soon as he arrives in military affairs, he makes mistakes one after another, and if he listens to his ideas, he will be killed sooner or later!
Seeing that Zhu Yiluan was on fire, Cheng Jingye dared to persuade him again, so he hurriedly bowed down and wiped the sweat on his forehead to arrange the siege of the city.
There was an unusual movement of the rebels outside the city, which was also expected by Lu Dengda. At this moment, he was already confident, and he didn't pay attention to the actions of the rebels at all. Lord Shen said that he must attract all the rebels, and they did so in their own hands.
"Brothers, this general has just received a military order from Lord Chen, we only need to defend Shaozhou City, it is a great achievement, and afterwards Lord Chen will be rewarded for meritorious deeds, and the reward for your brothers will be a lot!" Lu Dengda stood at the head of the city and shouted at the top of his voice, his waist straight and imposing.
However, the effect of these words was worse, and the soldiers who listened to his lecture responded weakly, and the most important thing now is to save their lives.
Lu Dengda didn't care about this reaction, after eating the sweet dates, it was a big slap. "Here I will reiterate the military law, worried that those who are cowardly and avoid the war and retreat without authorization will be killed! In addition, the operation of the implementation of the joint sitting method, one person retreated to kill the whole team, one team retreated, from 100 households below all beheaded, if the loss of Shaozhou City, will kill themselves here. But before killing himself, Ben will definitely pull a batch of cushions! ”
Lu Dengda was ruthless, it was also extremely terrifying, and his cold eyes swept away, so frightened that all the soldiers present straightened their waists, for fear that he would be used to kill chickens and monkeys by looking at him unpleasantly.
Nodding in satisfaction, a smile appeared on Ludenda's face again. "So I hope that all the officers and men of our army will work together to resist the enemy, and we will be ashamed!"
As soon as he said this, a soldier hurried over. "Report, the rebels are approaching, and it is suspected that they are preparing to attack the city!"
Drawing the blade from his waist, Lu Dengda shouted: "Brothers, swear to live and die with Shaozhou City!" ”
No one paid attention to him, and all the soldiers hurriedly prepared, since they couldn't retreat to save their lives, they had to work this defense, and they couldn't lose their lives carelessly.
This situation made Lu Dengda very embarrassed, holding a sword for a while, knowing that the guards around him reminded him, he could be regarded as finding a step down. "My lord, the rebels are attacking the city, you better go to the city and hide for a while."
"Bastard, I was going to be with all the soldiers to defend Shaozhou City together." Lu Dengda reprimanded with an unkind expression, put away his sword and inspected the defense. This effect is not bad, as soon as the general said to do it, the sergeants, who were still a little uneasy, suddenly felt a lot more relieved, as long as he did not escape.
Fifty miles west of Changsha City, Brother Erdan rushed day and night with an army of 50,000 people, avoiding several cities occupied by rebels, and finally arrived here.
"Sikong, Changsha City is not far ahead, how can we take it down as soon as possible, otherwise it will not be good if it drags on for a long time and the surrounding rebels rush to support." Brother Erdan looked at Sikong Wang and said, this kid is full of bad water, and he is really a good candidate for military advisors.
Sikong Wang pondered for a while and said, "According to the information we just obtained, there are only 8,000 troops in Changsha City at the moment, and the defense is lax. In my opinion, it is better to send several detachments of men and horses to disguise themselves and blend into the city, but when my army is approaching the city, the men and horses who sneak into the city will take the city gate. ”
"Well, that's a good idea." Brother Erdan nodded in approval, and said with a smile: "Since you came up with this method, then you will lead someone to sneak in, and then you and I will work together to take Changsha City in one fell swoop and copy Zhu Yiluan's lair!" ”
Sikong Wang smiled, and knew that he had to put himself in this idea, and he didn't shirk it, and nodded and said, "Okay, I'll arrange it, without further ado, and then I'll go." ”
