Ning Buqu smiled and said: "There is another layer of intention for the child to give Nanyang to Xiang Tong, our Dayan is already a little unable to support it in Hanzhong, and now occupying one more Nanyang is equivalent to fighting on two fronts in the future, on the surface, we have taken advantage, but in fact, we have suffered a big loss." Now that Xiang Tong is helping us to defend it, we can even reduce the garrison of Nanjun. ”

Ning Zefeng looked relieved after hearing this: "Okay, you kid is getting more and more powerful, and I can't understand the current strategy." ”

Ning Buqu scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "Actually, this trick is to go to school with Shi Luosheng of the Song Kingdom, and the first half of this plan was also planned by Shi Luosheng in advance, and only in the end it was sent to Nanyang City to Xiang Tong, which I added it temporarily." If I guess correctly, Chu State is about to be unlucky, in addition to Nanyang to face the Qi army, Song State will soon send troops to attack Jizhou County, I left Xiang Chu in Nanyang, which can be regarded as a favor. ”

Ning Zefeng was not surprised that the Song army would sneak attack Jizhou County, after all, they had originally planned to join forces with the Qi State to attack Chu.

Ning Zefeng sighed and said: "The stone falling and rising of the Song Kingdom is getting more and more terrifying, and this time the two powerful countries of Qi and Chu have all been calculated. Jiang Wushuang originally planned to sell them, but he didn't expect to be sold by Song Guo in the end. ”

Ning Buqu smiled and said: "Haha, this is not over, once Qi Chu starts a war in a few days, if nothing else, Deng Yuanjue will personally lead the troops to attack Jizhou County, and the number one general in the world will come out, and it will naturally be no problem to take Jizhou." At that time, the Song State not only attacked the Chu State, but also helped the Qi State, and he also got benefits, which was really a perfect three birds with one stone. ”

Ning Zefeng said with emotion: "Thinking about a few years ago, we were still glad to have chosen to form an alliance with the Song Kingdom, otherwise it would be difficult for us in Dayan to overcome this difficulty." ”

The next day, Ning Bu kept his promise and handed over Nanyang City to Xiang Tong, and he and Ning Zefeng rushed back to Nanjun with 30,000 light horses. At the same time, he threw Xiang Tong a trouble, that is, he left the 20,000 Qi troops who surrendered to him for the first time to Xiang Tong.

These 20,000 people gave Xiang Tong a headache, it was not to kill, if he didn't kill and stay, he had to send someone to watch, even if he sent them back to Changli, so many people on the road would be a safety hazard.

Besides, on the side of the Qi Imperial Court, because the news of the loss of Nanyang City was completely blocked by Ning Buqu, Tian Wuji only knew about the situation here five days later than Gan Zining, and by the time he remobilized his troops and horses to rescue Nanyang, twenty days had passed.

This is not to say that the military system of the Qi State is inefficient, but because the entire Qi State has only 600,000 armored soldiers. 150,000 have been invested in the battlefield of Yan State, and another 150,000 have been invested in the battlefield of Chu State this time, and the remaining 300,000 troops are also distributed in various cities of Qi State, and it is not so simple to recruit another 100,000 troops for a while.

Tian Wuji also thought about transferring troops from the Qi Yan battlefield to rescue Nanyang, but recently Ning Zeping, the general of Yan State, was unusual, as long as the Qi army showed signs of retreating, he would bring people to kill him, and the Qi army suffered several losses in a row, and Tian Wuji had no choice but to give up.

This time Tian Wuji personally led an army of 100,000 to Nanyang City, Tian Wuji has not personally led the troops for many years, this is mainly because the generals of the Qi State are like clouds, and the general war does not need this first general before Deng Yuanjue to go out at all, Tian Wuji is still strategizing in the rear most of the time.

"General Tian, you have personally stepped out this time, it's really rare, we haven't fought each other for more than ten years, right?" Xiang Tong was secretly surprised when he saw that the commander of the Qi army was actually Tian Wuji.

Tian Wuji sneered: "Xiang Tong, your methods are getting more and more despicable, it doesn't count as taking my city, but also booby-trapping my general, killing and killing pawns, I will double the shame of my Daqi today." ”

Xiang Tong was not to be outdone: "General Tian, this is wrong, you invaded our Changli City first, and our Dachu just fought back." Besides, it was Ning Unyielding of Yan Kingdom who defeated Nanyang City, not me Xiang Tong, if you want to find someone to take revenge, you must first know who the enemy is. ”

Tian Wuji was actually surprised that Yan Jun dared to sneak attack Nanyang, but he would never have thought that it was planned by Shi Luosheng behind it, and thought that it was all the strategy of Ning Unyielding, the newly rising young general of Yan State.

It was also this person who dragged Jiang Huanyan's hundred warships with thirty warships last time, and this time it was him again. At this time, in Tian Wuji's heart, in addition to Deng Yuanjue and Yan Chixing, there were two more young generals, Shi Luosheng and Ning Buqu, who could be his opponents.

Tian Wuji said: "Xiang Tong, I'll make a bet with you, within two months, I will be able to recapture Nanyang City, do you believe it or not?" ”

Xiang Tong is also self-aware, knowing that he is still a little bit worse than Tian Wuji, but Tian Wuji said that he could recapture Nanchengyang from himself within two months, Xiang Tong naturally didn't believe it.

Xiang Tong said angrily: "Although General Tian was famous all over the world forty years ago, Xiang is a junior, and he is inferior to you in many places, but you said that you could take Nanyang City within two months, Xiang didn't believe it, and this time it was just right for Xiang to see General Tian's methods." ”

You must know that Nanyang is located at the junction of Qi, Chu and Yan, as a border city, the gateway of the country, the construction of the city has always been very solid, not to mention the thickness of the city wall, all kinds of city defense equipment, there is also everything. Although it has just experienced a major battle, the remaining equipment is also sufficient, and the only thing to worry about in the city now is the people's hearts.

Tian Wuji didn't plan to attack the city directly today, and after chatting with Xiang Tong, he led his troops back. After that, there was no movement, and more than 20 days passed, and the Qi army still showed no signs of attacking the city.

Xiang Tong couldn't sit still, and said secretly in his heart: "Didn't Tian Wuji say that he would recapture Nanyang within two months?" Why is there no movement at all now, is he just trying to scare himself? It shouldn't be possible, what is Tian Wuji's identity, how can he do such a boring thing. ”

Everything is normal in the city during this time, every day Xiang Tong will send a large number of people to patrol the streets, once he finds any changes in the people in the city, he will be controlled as soon as possible.

Xiang Tong thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't think of where Tian Wuji would start. At this time, Xiang Chu suddenly broke in, his face panicked: "Father, something is wrong, Deng Yuanjue and Shi Luosheng of the Song Kingdom divided their troops to attack our Jizhou County in two ways, and now the three cities of Yongzhou, Chenzhou, and Shaozhou have all been lost." ”

Xiang Tong hurriedly asked, "What about Gao Kegong?" Didn't Your Majesty order Gao Kegong to guard against the Song Kingdom? ”

Xiang Chu said: "Gao Kegong is now trapped in Jizhou City by Deng Yuanjue's envoy, Jizhou City is also precarious, and there is a possibility of falling at any time, and he also pointed to the rescue of the imperial court." ”
