Wei Gu originally took a step forward and was about to speak, but unexpectedly, someone took the first step to make suggestions, which made Wei Gu in a rather embarrassing situation for a while, and he couldn't advance or retreat.

Wei Gu's face was gloomy, and he turned his head to look at the county official who made the sound, which turned out to be the chief bookkeeper of Wang Yi.

The position of the chief bookkeeper, although the rank is low, but the advantage is to be close to the Taishou, and the weight is high. In addition, now that the sea is swinging, the road is not quiet, and the county appointed by the imperial court has not been in office for a long time, and the main book is like a county prince. Sometimes, the power of the main book is higher than that of Gong Cao, Wuguan Peng and other county government right Cao.

And the main book is often served by people close to Taishou, and Hedong County is no exception, this master book is not like Wei Gu, Fan Xian and others, he is a wealthy family and surname in Hedong that Wang Yi has conquered, but follows Wang Yi to serve as a staff clerk in Hedong.

Because of Wang Yi's face, Wei Gu did not have a seizure and took a step back.

The bookkeeper also began to speak:

"Now there are Xiliang soldiers entrenched in the northeast of Hedong, and the big city of Pi is occupied by the Xiliang army, Longmen Yaojin has fallen into the hands of the enemy, and it is impossible to keep the Xiliang army out of the county.

"The Xiliang army is coming from afar, fierce and light, and the advantage is to fight quickly. As long as we empty the treasury of the city, cut the grain in the field, and burn the grain and trees that we have not moved away in the future, then the Xiliang army will not be able to eat in the east of the river. ”

"As long as there is no grain relief from the county government, the northeast border of Hebei will not last for a few days, and those Baibo and homeless people will not be able to surrender not long ago, once they are hungry and cold, they will definitely rise again, and when the time comes, the sword soldiers in the north will rise again, and the entrenched Xiliang soldiers are busy suppressing the civil rebellion, how can they go south to be the enemy of us."

"And Yan Yan's headquarters from the east, even if he crosses the river and gets a few cities in the south, but there is no food in the city, and the valley in the wild is destroyed, it is bound to not last for a long time.

Speaking of this, the master bookkeeper looked at Wang Yi's face and continued to add:

"If the prince of the government is worried about defending Anyi and being alone, he can send an envoy to Henan, and I heard that the county of Guandong Prefecture has jointly promoted Yin Zhu Gong of Henan as the Taishi, and moved to the sea to discuss the disciples of Li Dao and Guo Yan, Zhu Gong is a loyal man of the Han family, and he will definitely bring troops to aid Hedong, and then the internal and external attacks will be combined, so why worry that the Xiliang army will not retreat."

The strategy planned by the master for Wang Yi to retreat from the enemy was obviously much clearer and more reliable than Fan Xian's plan to recruit materials and bravely and defend Hejin, but Wei Gu, Fan Xian and others had not listened to it, but they had already frowned and couldn't help but stop talking.

This plan is entirely for Wang Yi's personal sake of keeping Hedong, and He has considered the position of Hedong people and their big surnames and wealthy families.

If it is according to the strategy of this master bookkeeper, even if he can repel the Xiliang army, the southeast border of Hedong will be completely destroyed, as the foreign Taishou and the master bookkeeper, he may be able to be ruthless, but Wei Gu, Fan Xian and other Hedong surnames and Hao clans can destroy the Great Wall and take such an act.

"Fu Jun, this plan is absolutely not feasible!"

Wei Gu hurriedly stepped forward and stopped the advice of the county government master.

Wang Yi looked at Wei Gu, who hurriedly stepped forward, and asked:

"What do you think of the Wei Pengbu?"

When Wang Yi asked Wei Gu about countermeasures, he was called "Wei Jun", and now he is commensurate with his position as a facial feature, which is to remind Wei Gu not to forget his position in the county government, and to blindly fly and dog, and only know how to make profits for the villagers.

Wei Guneng sensed Wang Yi's displeasure, but he had to speak out now.

"The prince of the government loves the people like a son, how can he abandon the people of Hedong, the two armies compete for power, morale first, how can he abandon the main road of Hejin, self-destruct the warehouse, show weakness to the enemy, and only increase the morale of the enemy?"

Wang Yi listened to Wei Gu's words, was noncommittal, turned around and ascended to the throne again.

Wei Gu couldn't retreat, and said to himself:

"Therefore, I firmly believe that the key to retreating from the enemy is to stick to the main roads of Hejin and stop the advance of the Liangzhou cavalry, as for the rest of what the main book says, it is quite consistent with what I am thinking, and there is no objection!"

As the surname of Hedong, Wei Gu naturally could not agree with the practice of shrinking his troops and abandoning many southern cities, which would undoubtedly destroy the southern border where the Wei clan was based in the flames of war, but for the county government's master book, cutting off the northern relief grain, inducing the Baibo Rebellion, connecting Zhu Jun in Henan, and attacking Yan Xing's Xiliang army inside and outside, it is slightly the same as what he sees.

After Wang Yi listened to Wei Gu's words, before he could speak, Fan Xian had already picked up the history of Peng from other counties in Hedong, and bowed down together to ask for pressure on Wang Yi.

"We are all people from Hedong, and we are willing to fight to the death for the prince of the government and for the east of the river to retreat from the enemy, and I also ask the king of the government to know and reject the enemy outside, and do not abandon the main road of Hejin, and put the people of Hedong in the fire and water!"

"Please be aware of the king, reject the enemy, we are willing to fight to the death for the king!"

Fan Xian took the lead in speaking, and the rest of the county government Pengshi followed up, and his voice was high, reaching Wang Yi's ears.

Wang Yi listened to the advice of the county government Peng Shi, and smiled bitterly, if he didn't care about it and was recruited into the court, he would inevitably suffer from Yan Xing's poisonous hands, but if he was guarding Hedong, these county officials with the surname Hedong were unwilling to defend the wall and clear the wilderness for the benefit of their own families, and they would defend the strong city of Anyi.

Under the dilemma, Wang Yi could only compromise and accept the strategy of rejecting the enemy, choosing to divide his troops to hold Fenyin, Puban, Wenxi and other cities on the one hand, and cut off the grain relief in the north on the other hand, inducing a rebellion in the north, and at the same time sending envoys to urgently ask Zhu Jun of Zhongmu for reinforcements.

···

A few days later, Zuo Feng Yi Xia Yang.

At this time, on the shore, Yan Xing had already gathered 15,000 horsemen and prepared to cross the river and enter Hedong County.

Relying only on the boats and boats collected by the Hejin Ferry in Xiayang, even if they crossed the river day and night, it was impossible to ferry all the large army under Yan Xing's command to Fenyin on the other side.

At most, only a part of the elite troops of the general can cross the river first and control the deployment on the opposite bank.

For this reason, the army also needs to build a temporary simple pontoon bridge to enable all the follow-up soldiers and horses to cross the river.

Yan Xing had already ordered early in the morning to let the soldiers who built the pontoon bridge measure the hydrology, select the river surface suitable for crossing the river with the bridge, and then take local materials on the river bank, build wooden poppies, and lay them into a pontoon bridge for the follow-up brigade to cross the river.

After receiving the order, the officers and men of the army immediately requisitioned many clay pots from Xiayang, and then stacked them with spears as a frame, tied these clay pots with big bellies and small mouths, and made a wooden poppy raft for crossing the river, and then fixed with ropes between the wooden poppies and the wooden poppies, connected from end to end, and connected through both banks, and built a simple pontoon bridge for crossing the river.

The pontoon bridge was built, and from noon, Yan Xing's brigade began to cross the river.

After Yan Xing led the Zhongjun Palace, the other horses successively crossed the river through the wooden poppy pontoon bridge and entered the boundary of Fenyin in the east of the river.

During the crossing of the river, there were occasional people and horses falling into the water and wooden poppies being damaged, and the itinerary of the army was slightly blocked. However, Yan Xing had already arranged boats to cruise on both sides of the pontoon bridge, and ferried in time to rescue the people and horses who fell into the water and replace the damaged wooden poppies, so the speed of the soldiers crossing the river was not greatly affected, and the river still flowed endlessly, crossing the river and heading eastward.

Yan Xing stood on the high ground of the riverbank, accompanied by Gan Ling, Xi Zhicai, Zhou Liang and others, and everyone looked at the figures the size of insects and ants in the distance, and they were in an endless stream until they blended with the distant river vista.

"General, Fenyin has been captured by Yang Junhou's troops, and there is a wooden poppy to cross the river, estimate the pace of the generals and men in this army, and the team will be able to cross it today."

Xi Zhicai calculated the speed of the soldiers, and happily reported to Yan Xingyu.

Yan Xing smiled and grabbed the reins.

"This is also thanks to Boyang being able to take Fenyin City, otherwise we still need to cross the river from Longmen, and then transfer from the Pi clan to the north, and then go south to attack Anyi, and there are cities such as Jiangyi and Wenxi on the road, which can be described as a lot of money, food, and time, and it can't achieve the effect of the speed of the soldiers!"

On the other side of Xiayang is Fenyin in the east of the river. Originally, there were county soldiers stationed in the east of the river, who were responsible for inspecting the defense line of the big river in the territory and resisting the Xiliang army crossing the river. If it weren't for Yang Feng, who led the south from the Pi clan, captured the Fenyin City on the opposite bank the day before yesterday, Yan Xing said that he really had to turn around and cross the river from Longmen into the Pi clan.

Crossing the river from Longmen and entering the north and then sending troops, although it is stable, it cannot play the effect of the speed of the soldiers, and it is not what Yan Xing, who is eager to fight quickly, is willing to see, so Yang Feng captured Fenyin City, so that Yan Xing can cross the river from Xiayang into Hedong, which can be said to be just right, and this move can be regarded as the first merit of Dinghedong.

When Gan Ling heard Yan Xing praise Yang Feng's merits, he also interjected with a smile.

"General, you just blame others, the military newspaper sent by Yang Junhou said that he was able to capture Fenyin City, and it was indeed because the commander of a county soldier deeply felt the saving grace of the general when he was in plain white, and risked death to open the city gate. Only then was Yang Junhou able to lead the army into the city, kill the county soldiers, and take Fenyin City. ”

"This merit is still a general!"

Zhou Liang also said with a smile.

When Yan Xing heard this, he laughed, Yang Feng's capture of Fenyin City this time was indeed a peak and a loop, which was quite legendary.

Originally, Yang Feng led less than 1,000 troops, and wanted to sneak attack Fenyin from the south of the Pi family, and obtain the main road of Hejin to cross the river for Yan Xing's army.

Although Yang Feng killed two groups of county soldiers patrolling the river defense, he planned to take advantage of the situation to change into the armor and banner of the county soldiers, and seek an opportunity to enter the city and seize Fenyin.

Unexpectedly, the blood stains on these clothes and armor that could not be wiped clean finally aroused the suspicion of another team of county soldiers outside the city, so just when Yang Feng was about to resist Fenyin City, the identity of his own soldiers was recognized, and he had to show his true face, and led the soldiers to kill another team of county soldiers patrolling the river defense.

After the identity was revealed, Fenyin City suddenly felt like a great enemy, the city gate was closed, and the soldiers on the city wall were tense and ready for battle.

Yang Feng's department is less than 1,000 people, in order to sneak attack Fenyin City, all the way lightly armed, naturally did not carry siege equipment, plus the periphery of Fenyin City and Fenshui as a moat, easy to defend and difficult to attack, Yang Feng's department is difficult to attack the city.

As a last resort, Yang Feng could only bluff, and people preached to the defenders in Fenyin City, "Hedong Taishou, Pingbei General Yan Yan led 20,000 troops, has crossed the river, and the forward soldiers are coming to the city. ”

At the same time, Yang Feng also unfurled his flag in the suburbs of the city, stirring up smoke and dust at the Hejin Ferry, the war drums shook the sky, and the horns were repeated, pretending that a large number of soldiers and horses had crossed the river to Fenyin, so as to confuse the defenders.

Under this heavy oppression, among the county soldiers who defended the city, there was a tun chief, grateful for the life-saving grace of Yan Xing, who entered the Pingbaibo in the east of the river, and led the soldiers to open the city gate at the risk of death, put down the drawbridge, and received Yang Feng's soldiers and horses into the city, and finally fought fiercely, Yang Feng killed the county soldiers and soldiers who defended the city in the city, which was able to control Fenyin City.

This time to capture Fenyin City, Yang Feng first fought bravely and bravely to attack Fenyin, and after encountering the county soldiers who patrolled outside the city, he was able to use clever tactics and sneak into the city in disguise. Although this plan changed temporarily and was discovered by the county soldiers, Yang Feng was still able to deal with it flexibly without hurrying, bluffing, pretending to have Yan Xing's army and showing signs of attacking the city.

Using this psychological deterrence, in the end, by chance, the city also changed, and Yang Feng quickly seized the opportunity to take the city, clearing the way for Yan Xing's army to cross the river.

Brave and strategic, bold as fighting, this is Yan Xing's praise to Yang Feng, in exchange for other people, when the identity is recognized, or when the city gate is suddenly opened, they will definitely choose to retreat, or wait and see the situation, but Yang Feng is a swift and fierce eagle, rushing all the way until he takes this Fenyin City.

As for October of the first year of Yonghan, Yan Xing, Xu Kun and others led their troops into Hedong, joined Li Dao and other three captains, and returned to Niu Fu, repelled and expelled Bai Bo. After the war, there were many soldiers and wounded, there was a shortage of military doctors and craftsmen, and many of the wounded soldiers of Hedong County were not cared for.

Today, the rescued wounded soldier has been promoted to the commander of the county army by virtue of his military merits, and he is grateful for the grace of saving his life, opens the city gate, and welcomes Yang Feng's soldiers and horses into the city.

This matter, only because it is the benevolence of Yan Xing, the main general, will be praised by Gan Ling, Zhou Liang and others.

"Lao Tzu said, 'Receiving the dirt of the country is the master of the society; The country is ominous, and it is for the king of the world'. At that time, the generals in the army abandoned those wounded soldiers like a shoe, only the general had benevolence, worked tirelessly, and treated them in time, and today there is this tun chang to open the city gate to repay the favor, which shows that the general is virtuous and graceful, and should be the lord of Hedong, ridiculous Wang Yi and others, painstakingly trying to resist, but it is against the way of heaven and seeking their own death! ”

Listening to Zhou Liang's praise, Yan Xing waved his hand and smiled. Today, he is already the commander of the army, how can he compete with the generals under his command for this first merit, let alone be complacent and carried away because of a first victory.

"Even if my kindness back then was able to influence the soldiers of one or two counties, if there were no soldiers who dared to break into the city, how could this Fenyin be taken!"
