Chapter 1 Gambling (7 Up)

The next situation was as Wei Zheng expected, Cheng Mingzhen, who firmly locked the victory in his own hands, did not chase and kill their group of "poor criminals" to the end, but hurriedly counted the casualties, and continued to go south without even leaving anyone to clean up the battlefield.

Yang Baiyan and the others, who had escaped from the sky again, were in no mood to rejoice, they lowered their heads and walked silently in the night, letting the fire behind them weaken little by little, and letting the moans of the dying strugglers torture their souls over and over again along the night wind.

It wasn't until a wide river blocked the way that Yang Shanhui turned around and took the lead in breaking the silence: "What should we do next?" The battle is like this, what face do I have to meet Jiangdong's father? ”

"This, it's up to Xuan Cheng to decide!" Wuyang County Cheng Wei Deshen was already like ashes, grinned, and suggested with a wry smile. \

Yang Shanhui sighed and turned his gaze to Wei Zheng again. Although the latter is only a clerical position, his qualifications are far inferior to him and Wei Deshen. However, the decision made by the latter at the critical moment just now is impressive. Speaking from the heart, if it weren't for Wei Zheng's accurate judgment and decisive actions at that time, I am afraid that half of these remnants by the river would have become ghosts under the sword of the Yuzhou army.

It was difficult to refuse the expectation in everyone's eyes, Wei Zheng pondered for a moment, frowned and analyzed, "There are only these few people left, even if I take a detour to Qingzhang, I'm afraid it won't have the slightest effect!" On the contrary, it hurts the morale of the officers and soldiers. It's better to cross the river to rest first, and then make other plans according to the changes in the situation! ”

"It's fine. \ Although we were defeated, it also exhausted the Cheng thief's department. General Sang is waiting for work in Qingzhang, and he will definitely be able to capture this thief in one fell swoop and avenge the brothers who died in battle! Yang Shanhui nodded, and found an excuse for himself to run away.

"Besides, creation makes people. What does God want to do, how can ordinary people of my generation predict it?! Wei Zheng shook his head, and there was no confidence in the official army in his words.

"Could it be that Xuancheng thinks that Cheng Thief can still get any bargain from General Sang's subordinates with a tired army?" Yang Shan was poured cold water on his head, feeling very unwilling, and bit his lower lip to ask.

"I'm afraid the victory or defeat is already between five and five!" Wei Zheng continued to shake his head and sigh. "I tried my best to entangle him, and I have lost all the opportunity. At this moment, the morale of the thief army is flourishing, and the three counties of Pingen are the foundation of his business for many years. \sigh......"

After sighing, he continued to add, "In today's plan, I'm afraid that what we have to think about is not how to make contributions, but to find a way to deal with the aftermath as soon as possible." Whether General Sang wins, or Cheng Thief escapes again, I'm afraid the counties have a lot of homework to do! ”

To put it bluntly, this is actually a suggestion that everyone give up the illusion of revenge and go home. Yang Shanhui felt very uncomfortable listening to it, but he couldn't deny that Wei Zheng's suggestion was correct. Now the remnants of the two counties are combined, and they are only in their early 300s. If you insist on going to the battlefield to die, I am afraid that you will be swallowed up by the local troops left behind by the Zhaozhou Army before you can go halfway. Even if you are lucky enough not to encounter the Xuzhou army, the places on the west bank of the Zhangshui River at both ends of the rats are not fuel-efficient lamps. If they decide to use the heads of this remnant army as a gift to Cheng Mingzhen, they will be defeated one after another, and the county soldiers with low morale may not have the ability to resist. \

Wei Deshen's feelings in his heart were similar to those of Yang Shanhui. Although unwilling to fail, we have to face the reality. What is even more embarrassing than Yang Shanhui is that the Xuzhou Army once said that if Wuyang County does not do its best to provoke trouble, the annual "security fee" will be doubled. And once Cheng Mingzhen really defeated Sang Xianhe, he turned around and entered Wuyang County to ask for the fulfillment of the "former promise". From the treasure of the county guarding the yuan, down to the street peddlers and pawns, I am afraid that no one in the huge Wuyang County does not want to skin and knock the bones to avoid suffering from the pond fish again.

One person does things and one person is responsible, although Wei Deshen is not a good man, he still has this awareness. Thinking about his situation clearly, he was no longer as depressed as before, but smiled and said very easily: "Just do what Xuan Cheng said." It's better for us to prepare early than to rush around when things come to an end. Yang Gong, your Qinghe County has a strong family business, if you hear about any difficulties encountered in my Wuyang County in the future, please remember that you and I live and die together tonight, and do not hesitate to reach out to help! ”

"That's nature!" Yang Shanhui nodded and promised, but he didn't have half the confidence in his words. "If it weren't for saving me, Deshen wouldn't have ended up like this. After returning to Qinghe, I immediately reorganized the soldiers, and with the old face of Yang someone, I worked hard for a year and a half, and I must be able to pull up thousands of more brothers! ”

"Duke Yang's jurisdiction is close to Xindu, why don't you ask the six counties of Boling to help?" Hearing Yang Shanhui's words so dejected, Wei Zheng couldn't help but remind him. "I heard that Li Zhongjian, the general manager of the Boling Army, has some minds, and his rule must not be a bit of a gentleman! At that time, Yang Gong will have his back to Boling, overlooking Zhangshui, and he must be able to advance and retreat. \”

"Hey!" Yang Shanhui sighed again and did not directly answer Wei Zheng's proposal. "Besides, now Qinghe County still has the ability to protect itself, and there is no need to send people under the fence. Moreover, the current situation is undecided, and General Sang, with 20,000 elites, may not be able to catch a little thief! ”

is the so-called obedient and obedient, from Yang Shanhui's tone, Wei Zheng can guess that this person must have something difficult to solve with Li Zhongjian. Therefore, he no longer persuaded him, and turned his head to arrange for people to cut down trees by hand to build rafts that could cross the river. I was busy until dawn, and finally I was able to build the raft before anyone showed up. The two county lords led the remnants of their respective soldiers6 across the river, said to each other and then dispersed.

In this way, all the bets fell on Sang Xian and the others. \ No matter what worries about the imperial court in the stomach, or with ulterior motives, on both sides of the Zhangshui, countless anxious eyes flew to Qingzhang, the land of projectiles, hoping that a result would be played there as soon as possible, so as not to be indecisive when everyone bet.

Sang Xianhe didn't know that he had become the last set of dice in the gambling game. Qingzhang City could not be attacked for a long time, which did not make him feel annoyed at all, but made him admire the guards in the city a little, and quietly made up the idea of subduing this person.

The troubled times are coming, and the capital of the military generals to settle down is to have their own group of people in their hands. The imperial court has long been unreliable, and the local government has long been in chaos. Luo Yi, Li Yuan, Li Xu, Xue Ju, Wang Rengong, these local officials, which one does not rely on having enough strength in their hands to be able to win the wind and rain. \ Sang Xianhe didn't understand this truth, so he lost the battle and almost had his head cut off by the imperial court. Now that he has figured out the taste, he can't fight the rogues again, and he can't take a few more eyes.

The name of the guard in the city is Wang Ermao, and it can be judged from this name alone that this person is from an extremely humble background. Those who have no permanent production have no perseverance, and those who have no perseverance have no ambition. Although he and Cheng Thief are friends of the general horn, survival is the first thing in these years, and any family and friendship must be seen. Wang Deren is still in a bloody alliance with Cheng Mingzhen, in the face of the powerful military might of the official army, didn't he still get out of the way of the road to Qingzhang without letting go of an arrow?

In addition, on a dirt mountain about five miles away from Qingzhang City, there were more than 500 thieves led by a leader named Han Gesheng, echoing Wang Ermao and others from afar. \ This person is also well versed in the way of using troops, and in the past few days, as long as the official army has attacked the city, he will immediately go down the mountain to threaten the camp of the official army. The officials and soldiers set traps several times to try to capture him alive, but he saw through it one step in advance, and stealing chickens could not lead to a handful of rice.

If this person can also be taken under his command, no matter how big the loss Sang Xianhe is, he is willing to pay. This year, generals are rare, but the soldiers who are willing to eat food and go into battle always pull a lot of them. There is also Wu Tianxi in the city, Sang Xianhe didn't expect this person to succumb to the thief after the defeat. But that's okay, there is a lack of a guy who can pass the word in the middle of the contact with Wang Ermao, with the previous guest and host, Sang Xianhe believes that he will send someone to send a letter in, Wu Tianxi will not do the boring act of ripping books!

Based on the above plans, he did not attack Qingzhang City too tightly. On the other hand, besieging the city and sending reinforcements, waiting for labor is the best strategy in the eyes of the good fighters, and saving some strength to deal with Cheng Mingzhen who rushed back in a hurry, it is better than consuming the lives of the brothers under a small city. \

The messenger was soon dispatched, and it was a partner who originally belonged to the same brigade as Wu Tianxi, and they had a bit of friendship with each other. Wu Tianxi did not hang the heads of his old colleagues on the city wall without being unsympathetic, but he didn't give any reply to the outside for a long time. In order to make up his mind as soon as possible, Sang Xianhe urged his soldiers and horses to attack the city again, and smashed the south city gate with a rushing car. Considering that the other party was desperate, he didn't directly lead his subordinates into the city.

Now, anyone with a discerning eye can see the situation high and low. Even with Han Gesheng echoing on the flank, Qingzhang City would not be able to withstand the next attack of the official army. And Cheng Mingzhen's department has no news, and it is impossible for him to fall from the sky.

"Who is that big black man guarding the south gate?" The advantage was exhausted, and Sang Xianhe was more confident, and the tone and tone of his speech became calm.

"The banner is a majestic sea!" The subordinate general next to him thought about it and replied with a smile. Under the extreme disadvantage, the other party also led the team to counterattack many times, and his extraordinary strength and martial arts left a very deep impression on the generals in the tent.

"Is that the strong man who once fought for Zhang Junshou to ask for his life?" Sang Xianhe thought about it and continued to ask.

"It should be him, right? This surname is very uncommon! A civilian staff member laughed in response. The good story of Zhang Wenqi, the Taishou of Jijun, falling into the hands of thieves and being rescued by the people, has long been spread in the officialdom, and everyone is very envious of Zhang Wenqi for having such good luck and prestige. There is also some admiration for those who dare to ask for his life.

"After the city is broken, try to capture him alive!" Sang Xianhe nodded with a smile and commanded in a low voice. is another tiger general, this trip to Hebei is definitely not in vain! What's strange is that how come so many capable people have not been used by the imperial court, but have all gathered under Cheng Mingzhen's thief?! Is it really God's favor? Just as he was thinking about it, an urgent report suddenly came from outside the door: "General Yusang, Wu Tianxi sent someone to deliver a letter back!" He is willing to return to the general's command! ”
