The plan is beautiful, but the reality is often skinny.

Just when Zhao Chenfeng was dreaming of taking Jinzhou Mansion and breaking through Shanhaiguan in one fell swoop, he didn't know that in Liaodong, Han Xiao had already taken more than 30,000 iron horsemen from Fuyu, Taining, Duoyan, Tashan, Haixi and Jianzhou Six Wei to Liaodong.

Zhao Chenfeng didn't know that Zheng Anmin, the chief inspector of the Liaodong Inspection Department, began to secretly contact the middle and lower-level generals in the army who were unwilling to follow Zhao Chenfeng to rebel after Zhao Chenfeng led his troops to leave Liaodong.

The functions of the Inspection Division are equivalent to those of the police force of later generations, so it has a certain amount of armament.

And Zheng Anmin, the head of the Liaodong Inspection Department, although he is a distant relative of Zheng Yongji, the first assistant to the cabinet, has not been inconspicuous before, so Zhao Chenfeng did not take it seriously.

What's more, when Zhao Chenfeng raised the anti-flag, Zheng Anmin agreed to a series of conditions for Zhao Chenfeng, the most critical of which was that Zheng Anmin and Zhao Chenfeng would marry, so that his eldest son and Zhao Chenfeng's youngest daughter would marry, so as to stabilize and ensure his position.

Otherwise, Zheng Anmin would not be so unharmed.

Zhao Chenfeng was born in the royal family for a few days, but Zheng Anmin is not a wine bag and rice bag, otherwise he would not have become an inspector in Liaodong.

What's more, Zhao Chenfeng also wanted to use this to send a friendly signal to Zheng Yongji, the first assistant of the cabinet, and other ministers of the DPRK and China, that is, he was only against Zhang Lingyang, the puppet emperor, and would not take action against the ministers of the DPRK and China.

As for whether Chung Yong-ki and the other ministers of the DPRK and China will accept this 'friendly' signal, that is another matter.

However, after Zhao Chenfeng led the main force of the Thirteen Guards to leave Liaodong, Zheng Anmin immediately began to contact the departments of the Liaodong Inspection Division.

Regarding Zheng Anmin's series of abnormal behaviors, although it aroused the idea of people in the Thirteen Guards, Zheng Anmin had already formed a quasi-in-law family with Zhao Chenfeng at this time, so they just thought that Zheng Anmin was taking the opportunity to seize power, and they didn't take it to heart, and they didn't send someone to investigate.

In this way, Zheng Anmin was very smooth, gathered the forces of all departments of the Liaodong Inspection Department in the fastest time, and finally took the base camp of Zhao Chenfeng in Zizai Prefecture in one fell swoop on a dark and windy night, and controlled the families of all the middle and high-level generals in Liaodong......

"Report!" A fast horse broke into the foot of the winding mountain.

"Zizai Prefecture is in an emergency, and the inspection made Zheng Anming suddenly rebel and take Zizai Prefecture in one fell swoop!"

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the Liaodong military camp, the soldier hurriedly dismounted, shouted and broke into Zhao Chenfeng's camp and went straight to Zhao Chenfeng's camp.

With the soldier's loud voice, the thirteen guards in the barracks began to panic.

Zizai Prefecture is the location of the Liaodong Prefecture, and it is also the base camp of the Thirteen Guards, and now the war has just started here, and there is an accident on the other side of the nest, or there is such a big thing, who can be calm when they hear the news?

Yesterday just had a contact battle with the Jinzhou four guards, Zhao Chenfeng had a general understanding of the Jinzhou side's troops and firepower deployment in Panshan, and now he is discussing tomorrow's offensive tactics with him, and he didn't want to hear such bad news at this time, his eyes were black, and he almost fainted.

Fortunately, the ministry general reacted in time and supported Zhao Chenfeng as soon as possible.

Youyou woke up, Zhao Chenfeng stared at the soldier who reported the news and asked, "When did it happen?" ”

"General Qiyu, just late at night the day before yesterday, the inspection envoy suddenly attacked, and took control of the city gate of Zizai Prefecture and the families of the generals!"

"Zheng Anmin, where did he get his soldiers and horses?" Zhao Chenfeng was still a little incredulous, "As far as the old man knows, the total number of people in the inspection department in Zizai Prefecture is less than 500. With this alone, how can he control the entire Freedom State? ”

"Zheng Anmin has long colluded with the subordinates of the inspection departments in Liaodong and secretly transferred them to Zizi Prefecture, which is ...... This is the only way to win the entire free state in one fell swoop! The last general also sneaked out of the city last night when the inspection department was not paying attention! ”

Hearing this, Zhao Chenfeng gasped, and it took a long time to come to his senses, and he accepted this unacceptable fact.

"General, let's hurry back to the division!"

"Yes, general, I'm afraid that the brothers below have no intention of fighting now, let's hurry back to the division!"

…… Hearing this bad news, everyone was gossiping, all of them persuaded Zhao Chenfeng to return to his teacher.

What about Zhao Chenfeng?

pacing back and forth in the camp tent, until everyone stopped talking, then stopped and said: "The people of the entire Liaodong Inspection Department together do not exceed 10,000 people, and they have only undergone some simple military training, so they are not elite.

In this way, the old man took 20,000 horses back to Shizi Prefecture, and the remaining 50,000 horses stayed to continue to attack Panshan, and it was important to take Panshan before the old man destroyed Zheng Anmin, you know? ”

"The last general will obey the order!"

In Zhao Chenfeng's opinion, Zheng Anmin is just a clown who jumps off the beam, and 20,000 horses are enough to destroy him.

If it weren't for the fact that he occupied the city of Zizi Prefecture, Zhao Chenfeng didn't even want to take 20,000 horses with him, and only one guard would be enough to cut off the inspection department under Zheng Anmin's command.

When people are unlucky, they can even plug their teeth with cold water, and this is the situation of Zhao Chenfeng today.

Just when he led an army of 20,000 to the city of Zizaizhou before he could set up camp, another bad news came.

"What did you say?"

"Isn't Han Xiao already dead? Why are you still jumping up and down on the north side? ”

"And what's going on over there in Jianzhouwei? Didn't Yan Lie cut off Han Xiao's head with his own hands? Why did you hook up with Han Xiao again? ”

When he heard that Han Xiao had led a total of 30,000 troops from Fuyu, Duoyan, Taining, Tashan, Haixi, and Jianzhou to the south and had arrived at Tielingwei, Zhao Chenfeng was a little incredulous, thinking that his ears had heard it wrong!

After repeated confirmation, in anger, Zhao Chenfeng cut off the head of the scout who reported the news with a sword.

Now Zhao Chenfeng's brain has become a mess, Tielingwei is not far from Zizaizhou, and it is not close to it, and there is a Shenyang Mansion in the middle.

Not to mention that now both Tielingwei and Shenyang Mansion have been dispatched to the foot of Panshan, even if they are not dispatched, with Han Xiao's current strength, they can quickly reach the city of Zizaizhou.

The reason is very simple, that is, the six guards led by Han Xiao are all cavalry, and they can bypass the cities along the way and go straight to Zizaizhou.

Now, Zhao Chenfeng is to send 50,000 troops at the foot of Panshan to help, and it is a little too late in time.

It only takes a day for cavalry to reach Zizai Prefecture from Panshan, but it takes at least three days for infantry to arrive.

And from Tielingwei to Zizaizhou, in terms of distance, like the Panshan side, the cavalry only needs to travel for one day.

It's good to die, the six guards led by Han Xiao are all cavalry, and among the thirteen guards in Liaodong, except for the Jianzhou Guard, who has taken refuge in Han Xiao, more than eighty percent of the remaining twelve guards are infantry, what does Zhao Chenfeng do?

Now Zhao Chenfeng is like a headless fly, and he can't think of an effective way in his head.

Gritting his teeth, Zhao Chenfeng still issued an order for the 50,000 troops at the foot of Diaopan Mountain to come back to help......

At this time, Han Xiao had already led 30,000 iron horsemen to the city of Shenyang.

Looking at the city in front of him, Han Xiao directly ordered to bypass Shenyang City and go straight to Zizai Prefecture in the south.

It's not that Han Xiao doesn't want to take the opportunity to take Shenyang City, but because time is pressing now, Han Xiao wants to catch Zhao Chenfeng off guard.

There is another factor, that is, Han Xiao does not trust the six guards he is leading now. These six guards roam between the white mountains and black waters all the year round, fighting with wild beasts, which can be said to be very brave, but relatively speaking, the discipline is also very poor.

If Han Xiao captured Shenyang Mansion at this time, he was afraid that after he left, the soldiers who stayed here would turn into officials and bandits, and they would do something to the people in the city, rob them of their property, and even turn Shenyang Mansion into a ruin.

Therefore, Han Xiao had to supervise the six guards from time to time in case they did anything out of the ordinary.

Although there are still a few Jinyi captains under Han Xiao's command, except for Han Xiao, the few Jinyi captains under his command cannot deter these arrogant generals.

The main reason is that Han Xiao's official position is big enough to deter the commanders of the six guards and let them command the generals well. The second is because Han Xiao is ruthless enough, and if he doesn't agree with him, he will take out an embroidered spring knife and cut people's heads.

Just like when he lobbied the six guards to go south this time, when the commander of Haixiwei said that he would fully support the imperial court to exterminate Zhao Chenfeng, the deputy commander of Haixiwei expressed his reluctance to cooperate with Jianzhou Wei, and asked Han Xiao to choose only one of the two guards.

Han Xiao didn't say a word, and directly cut off the head of the deputy commander, and in the end, the commander of Haixiwei only turned gloomy, and didn't dare to disobey Han Xiao in the slightest.

Of course, this is mainly due to the fact that the national strength of the Great Zhou is strong enough to make the tribes in the frontier fearful. If it was put on the occasion when Zhang Lingyang had just ascended the throne, Han Xiao dared to do this, but he was afraid that he would have been chopped into meat paste a long time ago.

Something similar didn't just happen in Haixiwei, in Duoyanwei, Duoyanwei's commander wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, but he was also cut off by Han Xiao, and temporarily appointed the deputy commander as the main commander, and promised many benefits.

It was under such a combination of carrots and sticks that the six guards were quickly organized and rushed south together.

Han Xiao bypassed Shenyang Mansion here, and it only took half a day to rush to the city of Zizaizhou. On Zhao Chenfeng's side, the scout who delivered the letter had just arrived at the foot of Panshan.

In the past two days, the 50,000 Liaodong soldiers at the foot of Panshan had no fighting spirit, and without Zhao Chenfeng's supervision, they only symbolically attacked the Jinzhou soldiers on Panshan a few times, and then retreated.

Now the people are not only worried about the soldiers below, but even the commanders of the twelve guards are also uneasy, otherwise they would not have watched the soldiers under their command release and be indifferent.

"You say, are we going to lose our heads soon?" Shen Cong, the commander of the right guard of Dingliao, asked Wu Sanyao, the commander of the Tieling Guard.

"Maybe!" Wu Sanyao was in the same frustrated mood, "If I knew this, Lao Tzu wouldn't have followed......"

"Be careful!" Seeing that Wu Sanyao was a little anxious, Shen Cong hurriedly gave a look.

"It's all this time, and you're still cautious about talking about a fart!" Wu Sanyao said angrily, "I'm really going to lose, I'm afraid that Lao Tzu will be the first to be beheaded...... Knowing the current situation, Lao Tzu said that he would not go to Jianzhou Wei to urge Yan Lie to kill Han Xiao.

As soon as the imperial army arrives, your family may still be able to be saved, but I am afraid that Lao Tzu's nine clans will die without a place to be buried!

Regret not being at the beginning! Regret not being at the beginning! ”

On the side of Panshanyi, Zhou An had already received the news that Zheng Anmin, the Liaodong Patrol Inspectorate, had secretly taken Zizai Prefecture.

"What a rabble!" After reading the battle reports of the past two days, Zhou An sneered at the Liaodong soldiers at the foot of Panshan, "Hey! Only then did he encounter a little adversity, and Liaodong was in chaos, and there were some kings and eight things in the thirteen guards of Liaodong! ”

Zhou An was very dissatisfied in his heart, although now the Liaodong Dusi was his opponent and his enemy, but seeing their current reaction, Zhou An was still not happy.

No matter what, these generals from top to bottom in the Liaodong Metropolitan Division were all promoted by the military cabinet, and now they are so vulnerable, how can Zhou An be satisfied?

Even, at this time, Zhou An was still thinking: "Perhaps, the Eighteen Provinces of the Great Monday are not as good as the Liaodong Metropolitan Division, and some people say that it is not necessarily!"

It seems that after I go back, I must write a detailed charter and submit it to His Majesty's Imperial Review, and thoroughly rectify the various health offices......"

At this time, the commander of Jinzhou Wei suddenly came to Zhou An's side to ask for a meeting, "Zhou Junge, the Liaodong Army at the foot of Panshan has suddenly pulled out the camp!" ”

"What?" Zhou An was puzzled when he heard this, and hurriedly got up and said, "Let's take a look with the old man!" ”

Saying that, Zhou An walked quickly to the top of the mountain, looked through the telescope at the foot of the Liaodong army that was about to retreat, and guessed in his heart: "It must be a major event in Liaodong that the old man doesn't know about, otherwise the Liaodong army will not all withdraw!" ”

The more he thought about it, the more Zhou An felt that this was possible, so he ordered the Jinzhou commander who followed behind: "You will take 5,000 men and horses down the mountain now to test it to see if the Liaodong Army is really retreating, or is it just a show to lead our army to be fooled?" ”

"Yes!"

After replying, the Jinzhou Wei commander quietly descended the mountain with his 5,000 soldiers......

On the top of Panshan Mountain, every move of the Jinzhou guards was in Zhou An's eyes.

Through the binoculars, Zhou An saw that the Jinzhou guards were getting closer and closer to the Liaodong Army, and soon there was an encounter.

However, it was very surprising that Zhou An found that the retreat of the Liaodong Army was very resolute, and basically ignored the Jinzhou Wei behind, just a slight counterattack, and when the Jinzhou Wei soldiers retreated a little, they decisively turned around and retreated.

"There's a problem here! There is a big problem! ”

Looking at the picture of the battle between the two armies, Zhou An faintly guessed something, and hurriedly ordered the remaining three guards on the mountain: "Pass the order, all the soldiers on the mountain will go down the mountain to pursue the Liaodong army, be sure to entangle them, and don't give them a chance to return to Liaodong......"
