Chapter 425: Attack it and save it
"Cao Hong was actually defeated, and he was killed? Yangcheng County has now raised the banner? Expedition to the Dongyue Battalion of the Northern Army? "In the city of Zezhou, Niu Wenzhong's whole face was green, I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen, I originally thought that Cao Hong would definitely be able to destroy the traitors in Yangcheng County, but I didn't expect that Liang Xing did not eliminate it, but Cao Hong's father and son were killed.

"As soon as the banner of Dongyue Camp comes out, I'm afraid that some people in Gaizhou may be dishonest." Fang Qiong, who was beside him, said with some worry: "Gaizhou is mountainous, and there are many Diao people who do not obey Wang Hua, and there are many people who attack the grain road of the army. Now that there is the Dongyue camp, there will be problems in the surrounding counties such as Lingchuan. Therefore, if you want to stabilize the rear, you can only destroy the Dongyue camp first. ”
"The Dongyue battalion has just been formed, and the soldiers and horses have not had much training, and these guys in front are just some hunter farmers, if it is any later, it will be disadvantageous for the rear." Yu Yulin said.
"Well, these people must be solved as soon as possible, otherwise, a force will be formed in our rear, whether it is with Li Jing or with Luan Tingyu, it will be very unfavorable to Gaizhou." Niu Wenzhong touched his beard and glanced around, if Luan Tingyu on the opposite side was difficult to deal with, I am afraid that Niu Wenzhong would take action in person.
"Taiwei, there is a person named Zhao Yun in Lingchuan who has rebelled." At this time, someone outside broke in and said loudly.
"How could Lingchuan be reversed? So what does Dong Cheng eat? Niu Wenzhong was shocked and angry, couldn't help but slap the table in front of him, and shouted loudly: "What is Zhao Yun, what is he capable of, can Dong Cheng be helpless against the other party?" Lingchuan is located in the northeast of Gaizhou, and Yangcheng County is separated by a Zezhou, after Lingchuan, is where Wasion Prefecture is located, I didn't expect that there will be people in Lingchuan this place.
What made Niu Wenzhong even more worried was that Lingchuan used to be Hebei, and once Lin Chong in Hebei found out about the situation in Lingchuan, he might abandon Shexian and attack Lingchuan instead, attack his flank from Lingchuan, and respond to Luan Tingyu, plus he had lost Fenyang, and the strength of Tian Hu's command was reduced by half.
"General Dong Cheng is rearming for war, and there is no news from Ren yet." The spy hurriedly said.
Niu Wenzhong's face was gloomy, and he pondered for a while, and said: "General Ben suddenly has a bad feeling, feeling that there is always a hand behind this that is stirring up the wind and clouds and controlling the development of things. But if you think about it, you don't know where your enemies are. Tell me who is behind this? ”
After Fang Qiong and the other generals heard this, their faces showed a look of thought, but these people can be called fierce generals, not wise generals, it is okay to charge into battle, but it is impossible to lead a big battle. After thinking about it for a while, they shook their heads.
"Could it be that Li Jing led his soldiers and horses to rush over, and only Li Jing can mobilize such a thing behind his back." A voice rang out in the hall. Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and finally they all laughed.
Fang Qiong glanced at the man even more, and said: "General Guo Xin, Li Jing is facing the soldiers and horses of the King of Jin at this time, how many soldiers and horses can there be in Fenyang Mansion, the city is not strong enough, whether it can withstand the attack of the King of Jin has become a question, and he still has the heart to fight with us?" ”
Guo Xin, who was ridiculed by Fang Qiong for a while, turned red, and retreated to the side with some annoyance.
"Li Jing is a ghost with soldiers, and this kind of thing is not impossible to happen." Niu Wenzhong said with a straight face: "Now I want to know how the soldiers and horses of Yangcheng County defeated Cao Hong, how many soldiers and horses are there in Yangcheng County, how many soldiers and horses are led by Cao Hong, can Liang Xing hide his soldiers and horses, so that Cao Hong can be defeated so easily." ”
Fang Qiong and the others' faces changed, although everyone looked down on Cao Hong, but Cao Hong was not a straw bag after all, and there were many soldiers and horses around him, so it was impossible to defeat the other party in a short time.
"I'm worried about Lingchuan right now." Niu Wenzhong walked around the hall with a somewhat anxious expression, and said: "If nothing else, Li Jing is probably not in Fenyang, nor in Yangcheng, but in Lingchuan." What he led was cavalry, and only Li Jing's cavalry could easily defeat Cao Hong and make the other party impatient. ”
Fang Qiong and the others had long been stunned by Niu Wenzhong's analysis, Guo Xin's analysis was not believed by everyone, but Niu Wenzhong's words, everyone did not dare not believe it, and if you think about it carefully, this situation is really possible, only the cavalry led by Li Jing will be so easy that Cao Hong can be caught off guard. Easily beaten.
"Taiwei, there is a problem in Yangcheng County, Lingchuan can no longer have problems, the last general thinks, on the one hand, he quickly ordered someone to inform General Dong Cheng, and on the other hand, he sent an army to rescue Lingchuan." Fang Qiong said loudly: "Lingchuan is the northeast gateway of my Gaizhou, once Lingchuan is lost, we will face more imperial court soldiers and horses." An Shirong, Chu Heng, Yu Yulin and the sixteen generals on the side nodded one after another, Lingchuan has a great relationship, if it is broken by someone like Yangcheng, the entire Gaizhou will form a three-sided attack, besieging the entire Gaizhou in it, even if Niu Wenzhong is capable, there is no way to solve such a thing.
"General Ben personally went to rescue Lingchuan County, Fang Qiong led 30,000 troops to defend Gaizhou, no matter how Luan Tingyu challenged, he was not allowed to leave the station without authorization, and after Captain Ben returned, he would go to battle again." Niu Wenzhong didn't dare to slack off even more when he thought of this. Once Lingchuan is lost, Lin Chong's army may abandon Shexian or Zhaozhou and attack Gaizhou instead, and then converge with the three-way army to besiege Gaizhou, and Gaizhou will definitely be lost.
"Captain, the spies have come to report that a large group of cavalry went northeast from Zhou Village last night." As soon as Niu Wenzhong's words fell, another spy burst in with a panicked face and said loudly.
"Brigade cavalry? Last night? Why do you report now, how many cavalry are there? Niu Wenzhong said angrily. It was already noon, and Li Jing's cavalry had already arrived in Lingchuan County at this time, and now I don't know if Lingchuan had been lost.
"Taiwei, Lingchuan, the loss of Lingchuan has become a foregone conclusion, this matter, should we take a long-term view." Fang Qiong was Niu Wenzhong's confidant general, and after hesitating for a while, he couldn't help but ask.
"Whatever? Before he got the news of the loss of Lingchuan, Captain Ben had to go and take a look. Niu Wenzhong hesitated for a while and said: "If Lingchuan is really occupied by Li Jing, I will suggest that the king give up Fenyang Mansion and Jinning Mansion, and the army will defend Weisheng Prefecture to the death, and then deal with Li Jing from other aspects." ”
Although the loss of Fenyang and Jinning, there are Gaizhou to block, as well as Weisheng Prefecture and Zhaode Mansion, which may not be able to stop Li Jing under the city, and Tian Hu still has a glimmer of life, but if Lingchuan is broken and does not know, Tian Hu's soldiers and horses are still trapped under Fenyang Mansion, and they will even be easily broken by Li Jing.
"Dare to ask the captain, who is guarding the city?" Fang Qiong couldn't help but ask.
"Fang Qiong and Yu Yulin guard the city, Yang Duan, Guo Xin, Fang Shun, Shen An, Shi Xun, and Sang Ying are supplemented, and the rest of the generals will go to Lingchuan with me." Niu Wenzhong glanced at everyone and said loudly.
"The last general commands." An Shirong, Chu Heng and others hurriedly shouted their orders.
