Chapter 435: The Battle of Mengzhou

Two days later, King Jing returned to China, Lu Chen personally sent him off, outside Fengzhou City, King Jing looked reluctant, but there were too many people on the scene, and as a monarch, she was not good at showing a little daughter.

"If you take me, I will swear to kill you, and then I will die with you!"

This was King Jing's last sentence before leaving, to be honest, Lu Chen was really a little cautious and panicked at that time.

After the annihilation of the company, the Wind Country added several more counties, and most of these counties were recovered by Su Muzhi and Qin Mu one by one.

Mengzhou.

It was the last county under Qin Mu's troops, the previous county, the resistance was not strong, he led 50,000 wind troops, it can be said that he recovered the city in a flash, but here, he was met with stubborn resistance.

The county army of Mengzhou originally had 50,000, and with the stragglers who fled from the previous counties, the strength of the army has now reached 10,000.

The name of the head of the county is Wu Sheng, and he is also a nobleman of the Wu family of Lianguo, although he is only related to Wu Jin, the king of Lian, but Mengzhou has always been his fief.

In ancient times, the magnates with fiefs were equivalent to the emperor of the soil in their fiefs, and the money, grain and taxes of the people of Mengzhou were also in charge of Wu Sheng, and of course he was unwilling to give up this county to the Fengguo.

Now that the country has been destroyed, Wu Sheng is naturally unable to compete with the power of a country with only Mengzhou and the 10,000 horses in his hands, which he himself knows very well.

And the reason why he stubbornly resisted in Mengzhou was completely because he wanted to use the little people in his hands as bargaining chips.

Wind Army Camp.

Since Qin Mu entered the wind, he has not made an inch, but Lu Chen has treated him with good manners, which inevitably makes him feel guilty, and now he finally has the opportunity to take charge of the army and recover the city, how can he be stopped by Mengzhou like this!

His old subordinate Pan Yong, this time also followed him on the expedition, seeing that Mengzhou was attacking for three days, Pan Yong couldn't help but be a little anxious, in the Chinese army's big tent, he was the first to come out, hugged his fists and said:

"General, the king has an order, the general and General Su each led a group of men and horses to recover the counties respectively, and now, General Su's side must have almost completed the task, but our side was blocked by Mengzhou! If it goes on like this, Mengzhou can't be recovered, how can the general explain it to the king? ”

Qin Mu's 50,000 horses, the partial generals in his army, most of them are old subordinates who entered the wind with him, at this time Pan Yong finished speaking, and another partial general also followed the line and said: "General, I waited with the general to enter the wind, and I didn't make an inch, and now I finally have the opportunity, if I fail to make meritorious contributions, how to gain a foothold in the army in the future?" ”

What they said was exactly what Qin Mu was worried about, and when the latter heard this, he sighed lightly and said: "If you want to storm Mengzhou, you can also take it, but when the time comes, most of the 50,000 horses in our department will definitely be killed or wounded, so even if the counties are recovered, it will be"

Although he didn't finish his words, everyone could understand the meaning, and after listening to his words, everyone lowered their heads and began to think deeply.

After a pause, Pan Yong clenched his fists and said, "General, the last general is willing to lead the army to challenge again!" ”

Qin Mu waved his hand and said: "Lianguo has been destroyed, and now Mengzhou has become a lonely city, even if it resists, it will be broken sooner or later, and it is impossible for its county leader Wu Sheng not to understand this truth, but he is so stubbornly resistant, there must be other purposes!" ”

"Oh?" When the generals heard this, they looked left and right, and Pan Yong asked, "What does the general mean?"

"Just imagine, if our army does not attack Mengzhou for a long time, after a long time, the news will definitely reach the ears of the king, and when the time comes, if he Wu Shengruo surrenders again, he will have chips in his hand."

Qin Mu said, and said directly: "He wants an official!" ”

Hearing this, everyone also understood, and Pan courageously scolded: "What a Wu Sheng! They want to use us as a stepping stone! It just doesn't make sense! ”

"General! The war in Mengzhou must not be delayed! The last will suggest! When the assault on Mengzhou is launched immediately! ”

"En" Qin Mu muttered: "Tomorrow, you can call the battle again to see how the other party reacts, Wu Sheng wants to hold Mengzhou as a bargaining chip, he must also be very worried about our strong attack, and we can make a strong attack posture to force the other party to make mistakes." ”

On the other side, in the city of Mengzhou.

In the county capital, Wu Sheng sat in the seat directly above with a worried face, and on the left and right sides below, there were civil and military officials from Mengzhou, to put it bluntly, they were Wu Sheng's henchmen.

His county name is Yang Feng, a scribe, a bit clever, and a former staff member in Wu Sheng's mansion.

Seeing Wu Sheng's sad face, Yang Feng got up from his seat and arched his hand and said: "My lord, now it has been three days since Qin Mu's troops came to the city, if we can hold on for another ten days, then the news will definitely be transmitted back to the wind capital, and when the time comes, the name of the lord will be able to reach the ears of the wind king, and it also proves the ability of the lord, which will be of great benefit to our future surrender, and the lord can also be crowned an official by the wind king for this, and it is not impossible to even be the head of Mengzhou again." And once the adults surrender easily, they will be appointed as a small official at most. ”

Wu Sheng also understood this truth, but he said: "Having said that, but the wind army is brave, although there are thousands of people in our department, they are all local county troops, in the face of the tiger and wolf army, if Qin Mu launches a strong attack, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to hold on for ten more days." ”

When Yang Feng heard this, he smiled slightly, and said, "Adults don't have to worry, they have already planned for adults." ”

"Oh?" Hearing this, Wu Sheng's spirit was shocked, he was definitely very trusting of Yang Feng, and couldn't help but hurriedly urge: "Sir, what is the best plan, come quickly!" ”

Yang Feng said: "If it is as expected, tomorrow, the Feng army will call for battle in front of the pass again, and at that time, the lord can order General Zhang to switch to meet the enemy!" ”

"What!?" Hearing this, Wu Sheng was shocked, and even the General Zhang who was mentioned was taken aback below!

"Sir, we are already overstretched in the city pass, why do we have to switch to meet the enemy, if this is the case, isn't it equivalent to letting General Zhang go to death!?" Wu Sheng grinned.

"Yes, Mr. Yang, although General Zhang is brave, if he leads the army into battle, he may not be the opponent of the enemy," the other generals also began to say.

And the mentioned General Zhang, now his heart is even more than seven, and even with it, he can't wait to slap Yang Feng twice!

Damn, I want Lao Tzu to lead the army to meet the enemy, what I said is good, why don't you go yourself!?

He cursed in his heart.

Yang Feng, on the other hand, looked around and said unhurriedly: "Hey? Rest easy, for I haven't finished my words. ”

The people fell silent and looked at Yang Bong with their eyes, and Yang Bong continued:

"What I mean is to let General Zhang lead the army to meet the enemy, and then deliberately defeat him"
