Chapter 202: Bai Mengqi

"Your Highness, everything in the city has returned to normal, and we have made up five taels of silver and twenty catties of grain for each of the affected people." Two days later, Zeng Dong reported to Jiang Huanyan on the aftermath of the disaster.

Five taels of silver is equivalent to a year's income of an ordinary person, and even if there are resentful people now, they can't hate Jiang Huanyan. Besides, there are only 10,000 households in Liuzhou City, and a mere 50,000 taels of silver is nothing to the powerful Qi State.

"What's going on over there in Fuquan?" Jiang Huanyan's eyes were always focused on what was about to happen, and she didn't care at all about what had already happened.

"Zhu Zuoshen is going to be unable to hold on, and the city is broken in the past two days." Zeng Dong was very excited in his heart, and he was about to fight the world's number one general.

"Okay, continue to let Pan Zhichang serve as the Taishou of Liuzhou, Huang Ming will stay in the army to listen to orders, and you will choose a suitable general from the army to serve as the new commander of the city defense army." Internal affairs can continue to be handed over to the demotion of Yan State, but military power must be taken away, no matter who will do this, Jiang Huanyan is no exception.

"General, I searched the whole city and didn't find Zhu Zuoshen, this kid can't fight, but he has the ability to escape." After conquering Fuquan City, Zhou Yunjing reported to Deng Yuanjue with some regret.

Deng Yuanjue handed the battle report he was reading to Zhou Yunjing: "It doesn't hurt to run a Zhu Zuoshen, but it will be troublesome if Liuzhou is captured by Jiang Huanyan." ”

Zhou Yunjing's face changed greatly, Liuzhou is an important town of Yan in the southwest region, although there are only 30,000 defenders, but Deng Yuanjue originally planned to spend half a year to capture it, and now it has been taken down by Jiang Huanyan in less than a month, how can he not be surprised.

"We hurried over with our army, and there was still hope of taking him over while he was still on a firm foothold." Liuzhou was taken by the Qi army, which meant that their military campaign to attack Yan was coming to an end, unless they planned to start a war with the Qi state.

Deng Yuanjue rarely smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid it's too late, Jiang Huanyan not only quickly captured the city, but also stabilized people's hearts in only two days." I thought that after the death of the first emperor, I would have no opponent, and now this Jiang Huanyan is enough to be my new opponent. ”

Zhou Yunjing was shocked again, with Deng Yuanjue's status today, even Tian Wuji never took it to heart, and now he would actually put a junior at the same height as himself, which shows how much he attaches importance to Jiang Huanyan.

"Then shall we go to Liuzhou?" Zhou Yunjing asked a little discouragedly.

"Go, of course I have to go, how can I be willing not to meet him." Deng Yuanjue's eyes were cold, and he wanted to see what kind of person this young opponent was.

Just when the flames of war burned the entire land of Yan State, an army also quietly drove to the border of Qin State.

Qin is the most comfortable of the five countries on the mainland, Qin Emperor Feng Bomou married Jiang Wushuang's sister in his early years, and the two countries are each other's in-laws, so there has been no war for many years. In addition, it is a military ally with Chu, and when Chu was strong, it did not trouble Qin.

It does not border the Yan State, and there is only a weak Song State left. In the past, the Song State was not enough to protect itself, and how could it have the ability to use troops abroad. However, the Qin State itself united Chu and Yan from time to time to bully the Song State.

In the past 20 years, the only time Qin has lost a battle is to take the initiative to attack the Song State, but the result is that stealing chickens and rice, the general Li Peifu was killed by Shi Luosheng, and Yulin City was also lost.

"General, we can reach Cangzhou tomorrow. Cangzhou City has 30,000 defenders, and Taishou Mei is a Confucian student, so there is nothing to be afraid of. However, Wan Can, the commander of the city defense army, is quite proficient in the art of war, he has served under Bai Mengqi before, and he has fought several battles with the Qin army, so it takes a little effort to deal with him. Before the official start of the war, Shi Luosheng gathered everyone together to discuss the siege of the city. When Gao Kegong was in Chu before, he had studied the generals who could be called by the other four countries, so he explained the situation in the city first.

Yang Yi smiled: "The ability is the best, I'm afraid that the opponent is too weak, and the acting is not like it." After we arrive tomorrow, we will set up camp and rest for a few days, and if Wan Can goes out of the city to fight, we will lose a few games to him first. ”

Before leaving, Gao Kegong also heard Shi Luosheng say that the first thing to do in this attack on Qin is not to attack the city and plunder the land, but to stabilize Bai Mengqi. After Yan Chixing sent troops to drag him down, he would deal a heavy blow to the Qin State.

"General, you said that if Yan Chixing saw Bai Mengqi and didn't come out to meet us, would he never send troops?" Gao Kegong feared that the Song Congress would default.

Shi Luosheng shook his head: "I used to have such worries, but now Yan Chixing is only afraid that he is more anxious than us." The third brother withdrew from Anyang a few days ago to fight Liuzhou, and once Liuzhou was taken by the Qi army, then Deng Yuanjue's Yan attack was over. If he returns to Jingzhou, Yan Chixing will have to return to Danyang obediently. ”

Gao Kegong touched his head: "Okay, I'll accompany Wan Can to act." It's just that every time I come out and defeat the battle, I always feel that it is not a taste. ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and Shi Luosheng said slightly apologetically: "I have wronged you, I promise you, as long as you lure Bai Mengqi away, I will definitely let you let go of your hands and feet and do a big job." ”

Emperor Feng Bomou, who was far away in Sucheng, was very confused when he received the battle report from Cangzhou: "What is the origin of the Luo Sect on this day?" I've never heard of it before. "The Qin State has enjoyed peace for so long that Feng Bomou doesn't bother to care about things outside his own country, and he doesn't know anything about the Tianluo Sect.

Bai Mengqi, who was in the first place among the ministers, stepped forward and replied: "The Tianluo Sect is a gang that has risen in recent years, although they are under the guise of the Jianghu sect, they have divided one side, taking advantage of the gap between Qi and Song and Chu, occupying the entire Xichuan and most of Yungui, and now there are more than 100,000 troops under their command. I heard that they have more power overseas, and the entire Ryukyu Islands are their territory. ”

"Since their forces are overseas and in the southwest region, how could they suddenly appear in Cangzhou?" Zhu Tingxun was even more puzzled.

Bai Mengqi said again: "Cangzhou borders Jeju in the Song Kingdom, since we don't have the forces of the Tianluo Sect in our country, then they must be from the Song Kingdom." ”

"Forget it, it's only 30,000 people, General Bai, you lead the army to send them away." Feng Bomou didn't want to get to the bottom of the problem anymore.

"Your Majesty, the minister can't go." Bai Mengqi excused himself: "If this Tianluo Sect army is really from the Song Kingdom, then there is only one possibility, the Tianluo Sect and the Song State are colluding. ”

"What? Are you saying that the Song State and the Tianluo Sect are going to use troops against us? Feng Bomou sat up straight and began to pay attention to this matter.

Bai Mengqi nodded: "The Song State has annexed the Chu State in the past ten years, and now it is in the Yan Kingdom, so it is only a matter of time before we attack us." It is not impossible for them to join forces with the Tianluo Sect. The minister also received news that the great Sima Yan Chixing of the Song State recently appeared in Puyang City, and Puyang has an army of 80,000 troops, and the minister is worried that Yan Chixing wants to sneak attack our Liaocheng. ”

"What a bold man, the last time the Song Kingdom occupied our Yulin City, I never went to Xiao Daocheng to settle accounts, and now that he is dead, his son dares to fight our Liaocheng idea. General, how are you going to deal with it? Feng Bomou was a little angry.

Bai Mengqi had already thought of a countermeasure before going to court: "The commander of the Tianluo Sect this time is Gao Kegong, he used to be the general of the Chu State to conquer the south, so he has some ability. And Wan Can, the defender of Cangzhou, has served in our army before, although his ability is slightly inferior to Gao Kegong, but it is not a big problem to defend the city. The minister planned to stay in Sucheng first, and if Yan Chixing really sent troops from Puyang, the minister would go to Liaocheng to meet him. ”

"Okay, then leave everything to the general." Feng Bomou was relieved when he heard that Bai Mengqi had already arranged it.

"Gao Kegong, you rebellious villain, instead of following your uncle Gao Yi to Jianye to enjoy the glory and wealth, but ran to join a small gang in the rivers and lakes, is your brain not good? Hahaha. As soon as Wan Can heard Gao Kegong calling for war outside the city, he came out with soldiers to humiliate him.

Gao Kegong's face turned pale when he heard this, he raised the spear in his hand, and fought with Wan Can.

Wan Can's words can reveal his two scars, Xiong Huan's death and being a prisoner in Jianye City are past events that he doesn't want to recall.

"Sect Master, General Gao won't be really angry, if he stabs Wan Can to death with one shot, it will be troublesome." Yang Yi, who was standing in the distance watching the battle, pinched a cold sweat.

"It's hard to say, seeing that General Gao has the upper hand, if we really kill Wan Can, we can only make mistakes, take the opportunity to seize Cangzhou City, and there is no way to face Bai Mengqi in advance." Shi Luosheng's face was serious, Wan Can's words hit Gao Kegong's weakness, and it was understandable that his emotions were out of control.

Gao Kegong really lost his mind at the beginning, and his moves were more ruthless than another, and Wan Can was completely suppressed by him.

Just when Gao Kegong was about to kill him, he suddenly remembered his mission, so he pretended to use too much force, and leaned forward with the spear.

Wan Can's eyes were quick, he grabbed this flaw that turned the situation around, and stabbed Gao Kegong in the head with a shot.

Gao Kegong hurriedly lowered his head to dodge, the spear grazed over his head, and the helmet was picked off with one shot. Gao Kegong pretended to be frightened, slapped his horse and fled back.

Wan Can escaped death, and he didn't dare to chase it, so he let people hang his helmet on the city tower to show off, and shouted: "Gao Kegong's head is here." ”

Shi Luosheng and Yang Yi also secretly breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Gao Kegong fleeing back to their own formation.

"General Gao has wronged you." Shi Luosheng walked up to Gao Kegong and bowed deeply.

Gao Kegong jumped off the horse and knelt on one knee: "This has nothing to do with the general, the last general has to ask the general to punish him, I almost couldn't hold back just now and disobeyed the military order." ”

Shi Luosheng helped Gao Kegong up, took out a brand-new helmet, and brought it for Gao Kegong: "Don't worry, general, I promise you that after capturing Cangzhou, I will definitely let you have this evil breath in your hands." ”

Gao Kegong said happily: "General Xie is complete." ”
