Day after year, the first month of the year. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The New Year is celebrated, and the festival is called Changchun.

This is the earliest couplet in our country, created by Meng Chang, the monarch of Shu after the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. However, with Yang Wu in this time and space, he naturally will not leave this title to Meng Chang; Under his leadership, the atmosphere of couplets quickly rose in Guangling City.

At this time, all parts of the Central Plains are still in the midst of the New Year's celebrations, and even the poorest people in the countryside have a smile on their faces at this time.

On the third day of the first lunar month, a group of vendors came from outside Yanzhou City, the number of which was only a few hundred, and most of them pushed carts forward.

"Big brother, we should be in Yanzhou soon, right? It's been more than 40 miles in a row, do you want to rest for a while? The person who spoke was a tall man with a Qingzhou accent.

The "big brother" who was the leader looked very serious at this time, and a pair of thick eyebrows and big eyes were looking around nervously, as if he was vigilant around at any time.

"Well, let's rest here!" The leading brother took a closer look at the surrounding situation and nodded, "Liu Dan, you take a few people to pretend to be an oil seller into the city to check the situation, be sure to figure out the reality of the city, especially the distribution of the garrison, be sure to go out of the city before the city closes tonight and pass the news to me, do you hear clearly?" ”

The man was still smiling just now, and when he heard the words of the eldest brother in the lead, he immediately looked solemn, and replied with a fist: "Subordinates obey orders!" ”

The demeanor, words and deeds are actually military salutes, and it is obvious that this is not a group of vendors, but an army of hundreds of people!

And the one who took the lead was Sima of the march under the command of the Pinglu Jiedu envoy, and Liu Yan, Wang Shifan's confidant.

After Wang Shifan decided to raise troops to fight against Zhu Quanzhong, he contacted Yang Xingmi and Li Keyong for reinforcements, and finally began to take action.

The plan of action he formulated was very creative: he sent his cronies and generals to disguise themselves as envoys and merchants who offered tribute, led hundreds of troops, tied up all their weapons, hid them in cars, and secretly infiltrated Bian, Xu, Yan, Yun, Qi, Yi, Henan, Meng, Hua, Hezhong, Shaanxi, Yu, Hua and other prefectures, and made an appointment to launch a joint attack on the fourth day of the first lunar month to capture these prefectures and counties.

This surprise attack can be described as a copy of the special operation in later generations, at this time Zhu Quanzhong's main force was in Guanzhong, and the troops left in various parts of the Central Plains were also concentrated under the command of Zhu Youning in Suzhou because of the pressure to Huainan.

That night, Liu Dan really went out of the city before dark, bringing Liu Yan the latest situation in Yanzhou City.

"General, according to the information obtained by his subordinates, Taining Jiedu made Ge Congzhou station all his troops in Xingzhou, and now there are not many garrisons in Yanzhou City, only more than 3,000 people, and their current garrison situation is that there are more than 300 people here, and more than 500 people here......" Liu Dan pointed to a sketch and explained to Liu Yan.

After a long time, Liu Cheng ordered: "Tell everyone to start resting now and set off in the early morning!" ”

The next day, on the fourth day of the first lunar month, Liu Yan personally led five hundred elite soldiers into the city from the water hole in the city gate, and launched a surprise attack on the defenders according to the information obtained by Liu Dan.

"Whoever dares to harass the people will be killed! The ruffians in the city will all be killed if they take the opportunity to make trouble! ”

Liu Yan quickly issued martial law to maintain order in the city, and sent troops to protect the mansion of Ge Congzhou, the envoy of Taining Jiedu, and no one was allowed to enter and disturb him; He also personally went to the church to visit Ge Congzhou's mother, and went to visit him every morning. He was also very kind and polite to Ge Congzhou's wife; As for Ge Congzhou's descendants, the duties and daily supplies are all business as usual.

All this made Yanzhou change hands, but none of the people in the city and the captured defenders rose up to make trouble, but quickly accepted Liu Yan's governance.

The same surprise attacks were also staged in other states, but Wang Shifan's plan was too risky after all, and not all the other generals were as brave and resourceful as Liu Cheng, and their luck did not seem to be as good as Liu Jun, so the surprise attacks in other states all ended in failure.

Among them, Zhang Juhou, the general of Wang Shifan's pro-army, led 200 elite soldiers to push a cart to the east of Huazhou, wanting to sneak into the city by posing as a vendor.

Zhang Juhou's subordinates immediately rushed up, killed Lou Jingsi, occupied the eastern city, and continued to attack the western city. But they had already alarmed the defenders in the city, and under the stubborn resistance of the defenders, Zhang Juhou, who was small in number, could not resist and had to flee to Shangzhou, only to be captured on the road.

Although Wang Shifan's surprise attack was ultimately successful only by Liu Jun, it shocked the entire Zhu Quanzhong force.

When the news reached Zhu Quanzhong's camp outside Fengxiang City, Zhu Quanzhong reacted for a long time: "You mean that Wang Shifan rebelled?" ”

His face was extremely ugly, and although Wang Shifan's actions this time did not achieve much, he slapped Zhu Quanzhong in the face.

Wang Shifan was respectful to him in the past, and he never disobeyed him, and the strength of the Pinglu Jiedu envoy was average, so Zhu Quanzhong never took him to heart in the past. Unexpectedly, now that even the powerful Li Keyong and Li Maozhen have been disabled by him, and even Yang Xingmi can only protect himself, this Wang Shifan, whom he has never taken to heart, actually raised troops.

What's more, now the hinterland of the Central Plains is too empty, and his main army is either placed in Guanzhong to deal with Li Maozhen, or in Hedong to deal with Li Keyong, or stationed in Suzhou to prepare to deal with Yang Xingmi; If Wang Shifan attacks in a big way, all the states in the Central Plains will be in danger.

"Slap in the face, it's red. Bare. A naked slap in the face! ”

Although Zhu Quanzhong didn't know the meaning of the word slap in the face, his mood was like this at this time.

However, after all, he had been fighting for many years, and he had never seen any strong winds and waves, although he was very shocked when he first received the news, but after only a moment, he quickly made a decision to deal with it.

"Pass the order, let Kang Huaizhen lead an army of 30,000 to return to the Central Plains quickly, and take charge of the Qingzhou war with Ge Congzhou! Let Zhu Youning lead the army back north and launch a counterattack against Wang Shifan! ”

"Hey, Wang Shifan, in the past, I didn't move you just because you were more honest, but now that you are impatient, Lone has no choice but to fulfill you!"

Zhu Youning's army was stationed in Suzhou in order to contain Huainan and delay Huainan's attack on Qian Biao, but now that Suzhou and Huzhou have fallen into the hands of Huainan, and the war in the south has stopped, it doesn't make much sense to let Zhu Youning continue to be stationed in Suzhou.
