Chapter 389: Sending Charcoal in the Snow

Zhao Tuo's roots are not soft.

Hearing Mu Wanyu's suggestion, recalling Dai Yangshuo's recent practices, he gradually became suspicious of Dai Yangshuo.

The eunuch summoned Zhao Sheng, Dai Yangshuo, Tao Jixi, Li Zongying, Xu Cangyu and other generals into the palace to discuss military affairs.

Collect Dai Yangshuo's military power, hand it over to Tao Jixi, and let him fortify Puling City in case of accidents.

Take back the government affairs and transfer them to Zhao Sheng, so that Zhao Sheng will be the general consul of government affairs.

Dai Yangshuo was ordered to take charge of money and grain, prepare money and food for the army, recruit soldiers, and stabilize the morale of the army.

Dai Yangshuo was scheming, the military regime was taken back, and he quickly realized Zhao Tuo's concerns.

But there was no dispute, let alone a refutation.

Eradicating Liucheng, Liu Muyue's plan failed.

The assassination of Liu Muyue backfired.

Zhao Tuo had high hopes for him, but in the end, Zhao Tuo was disappointed.

After dealing with Dai Yangshuo, Zhao Tuo accepted Zhao Chang's suggestion in order to dispel the doubts of the generals in the army.

Set up a banquet in the palace, Zhao Tuo dragged his injured body and invited the generals in the army.

Liu Chen was deliberately released, and during the banquet, Liu Chen was promoted to the governor of the navy and the commander of the navy on the north bank of Puling City.

In addition, Zhao Tuo took out real money and rewarded the soldiers who defended the city.

It was announced in advance that from now on, no matter where the Jingxiang army fought, kill a Qin soldier, reward five taels of silver, and the ordnance and war horses obtained will belong to the individual.

At the same time, Li Zongying and Xu Cangyu were dispatched to lead the army to Xuanyang River and Liang River for several days, and re-deployed the defense in Liuchen and Liumuyue.

A series of measures have greatly improved the morale of the generals.

However, many shrewd generals, after learning that the Qin army had arrived on the south bank of the Qingshui River, Liu Muyue led the army to surrender to Qin, and vaguely guessed that Zhao Tuo promoted Liu Chen to the Governor of the Navy Division and rewarded the three armies heavily, which was only an expedient measure.

First, to stabilize the morale of the army, and secondly, to borrow Liu Chen to recruit Liu Muyue, lest he lead the army to Qin.

Even so, the royal decree was issued.

In particular, the defenders in the city received a lot of rewards, and when they heard that the Qin soldiers were seriously injured, they suddenly had a strong desire to kill.

The low momentum, like erupting magma, is surging and the fighting spirit is soaring.

Eagerly looking for the Qin army to fight and earn this military merit.

The banquet is over.

Li Zongying and Xu Cangyu waved their troops north.

Zhao Tuo went out of the city to see him off, and secretly summoned his second son Zhao Xing, and ordered his army to quietly move to the south and deploy defenses in Gaotang Prefecture.

Beware of the Qin army's lightning speed to conquer Qingshui City, Li Zongying and Xu Cangyu have not yet formed an effective defense in the Xuanyang River and the Liang River.

The Qin army's tiger cavalry ran rampant all the way, and the soldiers approached outside Puling City, cutting off his retreat.

After redeploying, Zhao Tuocai slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

The sun is rising.

The golden morning sun sprinkled all over the earth.

The dew on the dead leaves, like crystalline jewels, sparkles on the blades of grass.

A morning breeze blew, blades of grass swayed, and dew fell to the ground.

Early.

When Ji Xuanling was warming up with Liu Xiangjun, the generals outside the tent came with good news.

Liu Muyue is here.

led a large fleet of sailors to Qin.

Hearing the news, Ji Xuanling hugged the beauty in his arms and kissed passionately.

Liu Muyue led the army to surrender to Qin, which was a big gift brought to him by Liu Xiangjun.

Bathe and wash each other and change their clothes.

Ji Xuanling told Mu Cangchi to beat the drums and gather the generals, and brought the generals, staff, Liu Xiangjun, and Zhao Yiren, with great momentum, to the riverbank to greet them.

Yesterday, I didn't receive any news from Liu Muyue, who knew that the other party actually led the army to Qin.

This move was too unexpected.

When the Qin army was in urgent need of a water division, Liu Muyue surrendered to Qin and relieved the Qin army's urgent need.

When the group arrived at the riverbank, the sparkling river warships were densely packed, the pennants fluttered, and the decks of each warship were full of fierce soldiers.

This fleet of sailors is like a dragon entrenched on the river.

Shen Tuxiu, Gai Wenguang, Yu Changxiong, Di Zhongkang, Lu Linxuan, Xing Buying and other generals were shocked and secretly happy when they saw the sailors on the river.

Whispering to each other, there is no lack of praise in the words.

"This is the real sailor!" Xing Buying stared at the warships on the river, and couldn't help but think of the grand occasion of leading the elite sailors to one side when he was in the Yue Kingdom, and couldn't help but say with emotion.

The Qin army marched south, and in the defeat of the remnants of the army, he successively recruited many sailors.

It's a pity that in front of the mighty sailor in front of him, he is a small thing, and there is no comparison.

Shen Tuxiu nodded secretly, the number of river surface sailors was huge, and it was even more imposing.

Only the elite of a hundred battles who have experienced the experience of blood and fire can have such a breathtaking momentum.

Here, descend to Qin.

The Qin army will be like a tiger!

In the center of the general, Ji Xuanling's straight body was like a long sword, and he looked at the team in front of him.

Clenched his fists tightly, he still couldn't hide the joy in his heart.

The icing on the cake is better than sending charcoal in the snow.

Liu Muyue descended to Qin and sent him a huge sailor, which was to send charcoal in the snow.

His gaze shifted, and he followed what Liu Xiangjun Rouyi pointed to, and on the warship that started on the river, he searched for Liu Muyue standing on the deck.

At this time, Liu Muyue was wearing armor, and the cloak was hunting, and he became more and more powerful.

On the deck, Liu Muyue also noticed the generals who greeted him on the shore, and noticed Ji Xuanling, who was standing tall and holding his little sister like the stars and the moon.

The young man in front of him is the King of Qin who is sonic in all directions.

The generals are the generals of the Qin State who make the generals of the Quartet fearful?

During the investigation, General Pi came to report: "General, King Qin led his generals to meet the general on the south bank." ”

"Hmm!"

Liu Muyue nodded, a deep smile on his face.

As he expected, Zhao Tuo wanted to get rid of him quickly, but the King of Qin regarded him as a treasure.

"Dock, stop the ship!"

Liu Muyue commanded sharply.

Stepping on the south bank, Liu Muyue strode forward in the crowd of generals.

The closer he got, the more shocked he became.

I heard the name of Ji Xuanling early, but I didn't expect to be so young.

In the year he was established, he had great military merits and was famous, Ji Xuanling is afraid that there will be no double ten years.

In the process of moving forward, Liu Muyue restrained the surprise on his face, and when he leaned up, he bowed down and hugged his fists and said: "Liu Muyue visited the King of Qin, led the army to surrender to Qin, and hoped that the King of Qin would accept it." ”

Ji Xuanling stepped forward, supported Liu Muyue with both arms, his face was full of smiles, and said loudly: "General Liu led the army to come, this king is so happy, the general has to lead the army to help, the Qin army captured Puling City, and captured Zhao Tuo alive, it is as easy as a hand." ”

"Meet King Qin!"

Liu Muchen and the other generals of the water division bowed and saluted.

Liu Muyue glanced at Liu Xiangjun, and said in a sonorous voice: "The last general will definitely help the king." ”

At this time, Liu Xiangjun quickly stepped forward and said, "Brother, it's great that you can lead the troops here, how is my father in Puling City." ”

Since the fall of Changchuan City, it is the first time I have seen my family.

Hearing this, Liu Muyue stepped forward and said, "Don't worry, with Zhao Sheng in hand, Zhao Tuo doesn't dare to do anything to his father." ”

"That's right, Zhao Tuo really didn't dare to do anything to General Liu." Ji Xuanling said: "This king will assist the general and rescue General Liu as soon as possible." ”

"Thank you, the king!" Liu Muyue said.

Ji Xuanling turned to Xing Buying and said, "General Xing, the Qin army will not stay too long in Qingshui City, let the water village out and let General Liu garrison." ”

Knowing this water division, the Qin army was simply like a tiger.

In the future, there is no need to be constrained everywhere to deal with the Jing Xiang army.

Hearing this, Liu Muyue was not polite, and arranged for Bingyong to go to Shuizhai to station, after all, many of the sailors recruited by Xing Buying were also descendants of the Liu family.

To put it bluntly, at present, on the south bank of the Qingshui River, the sailors in the Qin army are all descendants of the Liu family.

Ji Xuanling and his entourage did not stay on the riverbank, but took Liu Muyue to the military tent, and held a banquet in the military tent to entertain Liu Muyue and his cronies.

At this time, Ji Xuanling asked Liu Muyue about his views on the seizure of Xiangzhou and other people in the south, and they had a profound exchange of views.

Liu Muyue led the sailor to come, the Qin army benefited, Jing Hongyang, but Han Daochang was slightly dissatisfied.

The Qin army had a large number of sailors, which was beyond their expectations.

may break the previous agreement between them, and even they suspect that Ji Xuanling will abandon the Chu army, command the Qin army to fight alone, and occupy the four prefectures of Jingxiang, Qianzhou, and Jiangnan alone, without giving the Chu army any benefits.

After the banquet, Jing Hongyang deliberately went to the study to find Ji Xuanling and express his worries.

When Ji Xuanling heard this, he chuckled secretly.

Jing Hongyang is really rare and strange.

Although Liu Muyue led the army to surrender to Qin, so that the Qin army got rid of the trouble of not having a water division for a long time, however, the strong enemy has not yet been resolved, and it is naturally a good thing to have reinforcements.

Unless the Chu army went too far in the war, he would not easily expel the Chu army.

Hearing this, Jing Hongyang didn't believe it, but there was no better way.

He had already decided that when the Qin army embezzled the interests of the Chu army, he would never spare the Qin army.

The army rested for a day, Di Zhongtai led the clearing of the traps outside the city, and after the trap, Ji Xuanling led the troops to attack Qingshui City directly.

Now that the preparations have been made, there is no need to delay any longer and waste time and energy in Clear Water City.

Before the battle, Ji Xuanling still chose Di Zhongtai as the striker, however, Yu Changxiong led the troops to replace Di Zhongkang, Lu Linxuan led the troops to replace Shen Tuxiu, and Gai Wenguang.

Send Di Zhongkang, Shen Tuxiu, and Gai Wenguang to lead troops to the Liang River Valley.

At this time, Zhao Tuo wanted to reorganize the defense, but he couldn't succeed Zhao Tuo, lest the Qin army be blocked.

Outside Qingshui City, more than 100,000 elites were soon gathered, and the army was arrayed, like a lion with a bloody mouth, wanting to swallow Qingshui City.

At the top of the city, drums rumbled.

The roaring drums caused many soldiers in the city to quickly assemble from all directions.

Guo Muyu, Dong Qizhong, Gao Yi, and Han Xun quickly appeared in the city.

"General Dong, the Qin army is about to attack!" Guo Muyu stared coldly at the Qin army neatly lined up outside the city, and said with palpitations.

Those who come are not good, and those who are good do not come.

The Qin army had cleared the traps outside the city, and was clearly ready to take out their anger on the defenders inside the city.

"General Guo, the city is heavily guarded, it's a big deal to fight with the Qin army!" Without waiting for Dong Qizhong to speak, Han Xun took the lead.

In yesterday's battle, the army he led suffered serious losses, and today, with the help of the defense of the city wall, he avenged the robe who died on the battlefield.

Hearing this, Dong Qizhong shook his head slightly, his face was very cold, and said: "Things are far from being as simple as imagined, there are many tiger generals in the Qin army, and there are many generals, and now there are only more than 100,000 elites left outside the city, where have the others gone, have you considered it." ”

Hearing the sound, Guo Muyu, Han Xun, and Gao Yi all showed panic on their faces.

That's right, look at the banner of the Qin army outside the city, but there is no trace of Di Zhongtai and Shen Tuxiu.

The two of them, the army led by them were brave and good at fighting, and suddenly disappeared, is there any other way to do it?

In the confusion of the generals, Dong Qizhong said: "Scout report, Liu Muyue led the army to Qin, the military camp is in the Qingshui City Valley, and now the place where the Liu father and son led the army to garrison in the past was replaced by Li Zongying and Xu Cangyu to lead the troops, if a certain guess is correct, it is most likely that the King of Qin took advantage of their unstable foothold and sent Di Zhongkang and Shen Tuxiu to go to catch them off guard in advance." ”

After that, Dong Qizhong paused and sneered: "Xuanyang River, Liang River, far away from Qingshui City, and there are strong enemies outside the city, we have no way to stop it, so our current duty is to block the Qin army, as for the rear, there is also the prince to co-ordinate." ”

"General Dong is right!" Guo Muyu nodded in agreement, and said coldly: "General Gao, General Han, arrange the archers at the head of the city, quickly pull the bow and set the arrows, if the Qin army attacks in advance, we must teach them a hard lesson, and we must not let the Qin army climb to the top of the city!" ”

The battle of Changchuan City is vivid, and Guo Muyu knows very well what will happen if the Qin army ascends to the top of the city.

"Whoa!"

Han Xun, Gao Yi nodded.

"You can't just rely on arrows to stop the enemy, you also need to shoot the bed crossbow in advance, and try not to let the Qin army get close to the city wall!" Dong Qizhong said.

"Whoa!"

Outside the city.

Di Zhongtai raised his head and stared at Qingshui City, chuckling secretly.

Regardless of the city defense, or the city wall, Qingshui City is far less solid than Changchuan City, strong, at the beginning, the Qin army was able to hit the Jingxiang army in Changchuan City and seize the city, today, it is still a heavy blow to the defenders in Qingshui City, seize the city.

Di Jongtai glanced up at the sky, the sun was rising, it was time to attack.

He raised his long knife sharply and shouted, "The siege soldiers attack, the shield soldiers form formations, the archers take cover, and the siege begins." ”

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The Qin army was in high spirits, holding a war knife and shouting.

In an instant, the elite of the vanguard, carrying the ladder and charging quickly, seemed to be a boiling sea rushing towards Qingshui City, behind them, the shield soldiers held the shield forward, forming a formation not far from the city wall, in the shield array, the hidden archers, had quickly pulled out the longbow, put on the arrows, and shot at the head of the city.

wanted to strike preemptively and suppress the Jing Xiang army in the aisle.

At this time, Dong Qizhong, Guo Muyu and other generals noticed the attack of the Qin army at the head of the city, and immediately beat their spirits.

Dong Qizhong clutched the hilt of his sword tightly and said in a loud voice: "Counterattack, the whole army counterattacks, and the Qin army must not be allowed to approach the city." ”

Hearing the news, in the corridor, the defenders guarding the bed crossbow quickly grabbed their spears, placed them in the bed crossbow, grabbed the bowstring hard, aimed at the Qin army approaching outside the city, and shot wildly.

In an instant, the spears flying out of the bed crossbow, like an arrogant swimming dragon, descended into the air and swooped down towards the Qin army that came up.

With a poof, the spear passed through Qin Jun's body, but it didn't stop, poof, poof, poof.

One, two, three ....

Each spear pierced through the bodies of three or four Qin soldiers, carrying thick blood, before slowly falling to the ground.
