Chapter 234: King of Chu Wang Qing
After entering Jingzhou City, it was naturally a sumptuous feast prepared by Luo Ji, if everyone suspected that Ye Ling was only relying on the favor of Huizong to soar, now after the first battle in Jizhou, even the most stubborn military generals have recognized Ye Ling's command, not to mention the rest of the officials, Jingzhou is naturally more flattering to him.
After the banquet, Ye Ling asked about Wang Qing's information, Luo Ji didn't dare to slack off, and respectfully sent over a large stack of materials that had been prepared for a long time.
It turns out that this Wang Qing is different from Tian Hu, he is not from Jingzhou, on the contrary, he is a person from Kaifeng, Tokyo, and he has seen some of the world under the roots of the imperial city.
He was originally a sub-army, he liked guns and sticks since he was a child, and he was also lustful, and he usually ate and drank with a group of brothers, fought and made a big fuss, played with fans, and was extremely happy.
But I don't know if Wang Qingshi came to run or was ill-fated, one day he actually met Tong Guan's niece Jiaoxiu, and was immediately attracted by the other party's appearance, but this Tong Jiaoxiu also fell in love with him.
But there is no impermeable wall in this world, and the news was still spread, Tong Guan was furious, and immediately sent someone to arrest Wang Qing and beat him, and then stabbed Shaanxi to do something.
In fact, Tong Guan couldn't wait to cut Wang Qing directly, but this actually confirmed the scandal of his niece and Wang Qing, and when the time came, it would have a worse impact on his reputation, so he could only swallow his anger and drive this guy out of the capital first and then slowly clean him up.
Sure enough, after Wang Qing arrived in Shaanxi, Tong Guan arranged for someone to ask the local officials to find an opportunity to do him, but Wang Qing found out in advance, so he simply killed the other party, and then joined forces with a local bully Duan family to rebel.
Unexpectedly, he later became more and more powerful, and even attacked the state and county one after another, and the power developed, at this time Wang Qing saw that Tian Hu in Hebei called the king of Jin, and simply called the king of Chu, and the two sides responded to each other.
In the following years, he continued to expand, and finally grabbed a total of Nanfeng, Jingnan, Shannan, Yun'an, Ande, Dongchuan, Wanzhou, Xijing, a total of 86 counties, in terms of territory and population is still above Tianhu.
This also reflects the difference between Wang Qing and Tian Hu, although Tian Hu is cruel and tyrannical, but he is not very good at playing false, while Wang Qing is not, he respects Tian Hu on the surface, but he pushed him out to block the wind and rain, and shot the first bird, while he hid behind and made a fortune.
But he didn't expect Tian Hu to really finish this time, and it was so fast, when Tian Hu sent people to ask him to send troops, he was all kinds of prevarication, just thinking about sitting on the mountain to watch the tiger fight and then reaping the benefits of the fisherman, but now that Tian Hu is dead, the other tiger in the court is not only not dead or injured, but more powerful.

Especially this time, according to the reports of various scouts, Du Ling came to Jingzhou with a team again, and this target is likely to be himself.
Thinking of this, Wang Qing was completely uncomfortable, and he began to regret why he didn't help Tian Hu at that time, if the two joined forces, they might even break their wrists with the imperial court, but Tian Hu died, and he didn't even have a helper.
Moreover, his two brothers-in-law, Duan Erduanwu, also died at this time, and he didn't even have a cronies to discuss, so he had to gather all the generals and let everyone give advice to get through this difficulty.
Among them, Liu Min, the guard general of Wanzhou, is quite strategic, and the Chu army calls him Liu Zhibo, he coughed and said: "The king is going to be flustered, forgive this group of officers and soldiers?" We didn't go to fight them, but now we take the initiative to come to us, lose the ground first, and the end will not be talented, we can kill them for a while, and let them know the power of our Chu State. ”
Wang Qing was overjoyed and said: "General Liu is really resourceful, but I don't know what to do?" ”
Liu Min smiled and said: "If the thieves and soldiers want to invade our country, this pass is the Wanzhou City of the last general, after all, these guys are far away, and they will definitely pass through the area of Fangcheng Mountain. ”
Everyone was amazed when they heard this, and Wang Qing was also pleased: "General Liu's plan is clever, enough to break the enemy, this king is waiting for good news in this Nanfeng City, and when the time comes, it will be a matter of not a problem." ”
Liu Min laughed at Wang Qing's sweet words and compliments, and proudly led his subordinates to make all kinds of preparations in advance, just waiting for the officers and soldiers to come.
But it was said that Ye Ling left Jingzhou City with a large army, and he couldn't walk twenty or thirty miles, but he saw a team of men and horses waiting on the side of the road, it was Qiao Daoqing, Ma Ling, Sun An, Bian Xiang, the four Tian Hu's generals, although they were obedient but also unwilling to do anything with their original brothers, they all temporarily returned to Liangshan, and this time it was natural to deal with Wang Qing, so they made a special trip to help.
In addition to the four of them, there are Li Jun, Tong Wei and Tong Meng, the three leaders of the water army, in addition to Xie Zhen and Jiebao, two good at tracking and fighting in the mountains and forests, after all, Jingzhou is different from Jizhou, where the plains are the majority, there are many swamps and mountains and forests, and it is obviously not enough to rely on the horse army and the infantry army alone.
As for identity? Since these people had not participated in Liangshan's operation before, there were very few people who knew them, and now Ye Ling was the only one in the army, so they didn't have to worry about being discovered.
After adding Qiao Daoqing and Li Jun, the nearly ten leaders, there were even more talents in the army, and they set off towards Wanzhou Mansion, the first pass of Chu State.
There is a Fangcheng Mountain outside this Wanzhou City, as Liu Min said, if you want to attack Wanzhou, you must pass through here, otherwise you can only bypass it from the mountain trail, which is not only a waste of time, but also the road is rugged, and it is extremely difficult for horses to pass, he concluded that Ye Ling and they will definitely pass through the mountain, and he has already prepared, just wait for the officers and soldiers to arrive and start setting fires.
But he really underestimated Ye Ling's side, Yue Fei and Hu Yanzhuo were all generals who were proficient in the art of war, and when they saw the terrain of Fangcheng Mountain, they felt that there was a problem, whether it was an ambush or a fire attack, they had to defend against it, so they all admonished Ye Ling in front of him.
Ye Ling naturally accepted this kind of advice, this is a big deal to lead troops to fight, be cautious, a thousand times is not too much, paralyzing carelessness, just one time is too much, he immediately asked the two brothers Xie Zhen and Xie Bao to bring a small team into the mountain one step ahead of time to reconnoiter the enemy.
These two people are both from Orion, and they have grown up in the mountains and forests since they were children, and the mountain roads and dense forests that are extremely troublesome to others seem to them to be more comfortable and happy than the Great Dao, and they quickly found out the situation and came back to tell them.
There were no ambushes in the mountains, but a lot of gunpowder and flammable materials had already been planted, and it was clear that the enemy was planning to attack them with fire.
