Chapter 928 Gathering of Storms (4,000 Words)
On the river, Cai Jun's dragon boat fled, leaving only the turbulent river and two sinking dragon boats!
On the deck of the Yan army's warship, the soldiers watched Cai Jun flee in a hurry, waving his soldiers, and making a sound of overwhelming mountains and seas!
For more than half a year, Cai Jun has invaded the waters of Dayan many times, relying on the fatigue of the Dayan sailors to show their teeth and claws in the waters of Dayan.
This time, when the conditions were difficult, the expulsion of the Cai army and the sinking of two dragon ships were really beyond the expectations of the Yan army's sailors.
In addition to being happy, the Yan Jun sailor did not forget the struggling Cai Jun in the river, and occasionally the Yan Jun picked up the crossbow in his hand and shot the struggling Cai Jun in the river, wanting to drive the other party away!
The river breeze blows slowly, blowing on people's cheeks, with a hint of moisture.
Lin Feng stood erected on the river bank like a scabbard, his eyes staring at the dragon boat fleeing from Cai Jun in the river, his face was serious, and he was slightly lost.
In today's water battle, if the troops of Cai Yan and the two armies transfer the land of the north and south, the Cai army will have no possibility of escaping!
It's a pity that in the middle of the river, Cai Jun fled, but Yan Jun was helpless, only hope Jiang Xing sighed, watching Cai Jun flee!
After being silent for a long time, Lin Feng raised his hand and straightened his clothes, his expression was serious, and he turned to Cao Aman beside him and ordered: "Beat the drum and collect the troops!" ”
"Yes!" Cao Aman nodded, his burly body, moving quickly, wanting to beat the drum himself.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Soon, on the river bank, rumbling drums sounded, and the Yan army in the river heard the sound and quickly drove the boat back.
In a short time, more than ten warships in the river arrived on the river bank one by one, and the leading general took a thousand Yan troops ashore!
Lin Feng's eyes were always fixed on the Yan soldiers who came ashore, in today's water battle, this group of Yan soldiers fought in the water, and their combat effectiveness exceeded his expectations.
According to his estimates, Zheng Guo perished, and on the north bank of the Yangtze River, there were a large number of Zheng troops who were proficient in water, who returned to the fields and lived in the vast area on the north bank of the Yangtze River.
If you are lucky enough to re-recruit this group of people into the Hui army, with a little training, they will definitely become a powerful sailor, and they can't help but say to Cao Aman, who returned to his side: "Aman, tell the officials of Jiangyuan City to reward the whole army!" ”
"Yes!" Cao Aman said.
Cao Aman hadn't left yet, Lin Feng continued: "Tell the guards, go to various places, order the generals stationed in various places, and all return to Beijing!" ”
traveled in the south, defeated the Vietnamese army twice, and sorted out the topographic map of Cai State, which roughly grasped the situation of the southern countries.
At this moment, Lin Feng didn't want to wait, if there was a suitable time to take the opportunity to cross the river, he must be lightning fast, forcibly annex Cai Guo, and infiltrate the Great Yan forces into Jiangnan!
Hearing this, Cao Aman looked stunned, and still said categorically: "Yes!" "Anyway, turn around and leave!
On the second day, Lin Feng and the seven daughters rode their horses north and headed towards Yanjing City under the protection of the guards.
On Lin Feng's way back to Beijing, the generals stationed in various parts of Dayan received a message from the emperor, and with a few personal guards, they also quickly went straight to Yanjing City.
………
Gangnam!
Xiong Wu was the commander, Han Zhitong was the deputy marshal, leading 150,000 Chu troops, and when they appeared in the southern territory of Cai State, news came from the spies in the north!
Emperor Yan pretended to lead 30,000 iron horsemen to the south, disappeared in the territory of Cai State, and really crossed the river secretly.
Knowing that Lin Feng had left the south and crossed the river to the north under the protection of his personal guards, Xiong Wu was extremely embarrassed!
In addition to the anger, a smile appeared on his face. said to Han Zhitong beside him: "Emperor Yan is just a gutsless rat, I personally fought and wanted to fight him, but he fled!" ”
Han Zhitong looked lost, and sighed for revenge by missing Lin Feng in the south.
However, he was not as blindly optimistic as Xiong Wu, on the contrary, he felt the slightest anxiety about Lin Feng's return to Dayan.
According to his understanding of Lin Feng, the other party has always acted carefully. This time, the Yan army occupied the four cities along the river in Cai Yue, and it was bound to rely on the four cities along the river led by Ancheng, and constantly sent troops to the south to pass through the south!
Turning his head to look at Xiong Wu, he reminded: "Your Majesty, Emperor Yan is cunning, and returning to Yan Kingdom in the north is tantamount to letting the tiger return to the mountain, which may not be a good thing!" ”
"Yes, General Han, are you worried about the four northern cities?" Xiong Wu asked with a smile, looked up at the north and said, "This time, I will take measures to fight with Emperor Yan, then we must uproot the forces that Emperor Yan left in the south!" ”
Can't help Emperor Yan, Xiong Wu shifted his attention to Ancheng, if there is a chance to clear the power of Great Yan in the south, the Yan army wants to make a comeback, it is very difficult!
At present, the Chu army has broken into Cai State, Xiong Wu is eyeing Cai State, and wants to capture the four cities along the river, send troops to pass through the four cities along the river, and then turn back and eliminate Cai State!
With the help of the Yangtze River moat, the Yan army will block the north of the Yangtze River!
At this time, hundreds of thousands of elites of the Yue army and the Wu army approached from two different directions and approached Ancheng!
The troops of the two countries have not yet received the news of Emperor Yan's return from crossing the river, and they are still leading troops to look for Lin Feng's traces in the south, and Cai Guo is also eyeing him!
However, when the Chu army arrived south of Mocheng, Xiong Wu received news from Jiangbei that Emperor Yan had crossed the river and ordered the generals of Dayan to return to Yanjing quickly!
Upon hearing the news, Xiong Wu immediately found Han Zhitong, because Han Zhitong had expected that Lin Feng would cross the river and return safely, which would definitely bring trouble.
Unexpectedly, he said it!
"General Han, Emperor Yan summoned the generals from all sides, the mountain rain is about to come, and the wind is full of buildings!" Xiong Wu looked panicked, and when he found Han Zhitong, he said straight to the point.
Emperor Yan was deployed in the north, and Xiong Wu felt that Emperor Yan's plan was to disrupt his plan to annex and occupy the four cities along the river and annex Cai Guo!
"Your Majesty, Emperor Yan's flaws will be reported and Yingcheng will be burned. Not long ago, Emperor Yan was pursued by the southern army in the south, and this revenge from Great Yan is bound to be unstoppable! Han Zhitong thought for a moment and said cautiously.
He only felt that Emperor Yan would inevitably send his army to the south, and a battle of the Yan army to invade the south would soon be set off on the southern land.
"Emperor Yan is hateful!" Hearing this, Xiong Wu said angrily.
For a long time, he has always been led by Lin Feng's nose, thinking that he would have the opportunity to fight with Emperor Yan in the southern land, but he did not expect that he had not yet found the trace of Emperor Yan, but he might encounter a crisis.
In anger, Xiong Wu said angrily: "General Han, the whole army will stop going north, go directly to Mocheng, spread the news to the kings in the south, and hold a meeting between the kings of the four countries in Mocheng!" ”
When Han Zhitong heard this, he didn't say anything, and turned to the guards beside him to order.
Talks with the kings of the Three Kingdoms of Wu Yue Cai are the best choice under the current situation!
Changing the direction of the front, Xiong Wu did not lead the army to continue to the north, and the army turned back and stationed outside Mocheng.
Yue Jun Han Yanxi, and Wu army Zhao Yanyu, on the way to Ancheng, both received the news that the generals of the Yan army gathered in Yanjing City!
They all realized that the Yan army would make a big move, and the situation in the south became dangerous.
Han Yanxi had similar thoughts to Zhao Yanyu and Xiong Wu, for fear that Lin Feng would gather generals from all over the country to plan a southward invasion!
After all, in the previous battle, Lin Feng defeated the Vietnamese army twice in the south to find out the strength of the Vietnamese army.
Soon, the kings of the two countries learned that the Chu army was approaching Mocheng, and the Wu and Yue armies also led their armies to approach Mocheng.
In the Mocheng Palace, Cao Rong learned that the Chu army was approaching, and Long Yan was furious.
Xiong Wu was domineering and led the Chu army to break into the state of Cai with great fanfare. At this moment, he turned back and stationed outside the city.
Although Cao Rong knew why Xiong Wu suddenly turned back and the army was stationed in Mocheng, he was still unhappy in his heart.
On the one hand, he ordered the whole city to be under martial law, and ordered the troops near Mocheng to closely monitor the movements of the Chu army!
On the one hand, Cao Rong personally led the officials, and he was reluctant to go out of the city to meet Xiong Wu.
If it weren't for the sudden change in the situation in the south, Cao Rong would never have met Xiong Wu!
This guy, annexed the territory of Cai State, and bought a large number of officials in the south of Cai State, which led to a war between the two countries, and Cai's army was defeated.
His hatred for Xiong Wu is far greater than Lin Feng's!
However, Emperor Yan dispatched troops in the north, as if a dark cloud was gradually shifting from the north to the south, making the situation in the south quickly tense.
Not long ago, Cai's naval division broke into the waters of Yan and failed to kill Emperor Yan, not only provoking Emperor Yan, but also provoking Song State, and suddenly offended the two giants in the north.
He became more and more convinced that Emperor Yan gathered generals from all sides and had the idea of going south to invade!
Xiong Wu was hateful, but Chu had the strength to compete with the Yan and Song army, and when he was in danger, Cao Rong had to put aside the grievances and hatred of the southern princes and unite with Xiong Wu.
Otherwise, the Yan army crossed the river, and Cai Guo bore the brunt of the threat of the Yan army's iron cavalry!
The sky is clear, the sun is shining, and because of Xiong Wu's arrival, the atmosphere in Mocheng has become condensed!
The north gate of Mocheng was empty, except for Cao Rong's rash officials, no one in the city greeted them at the north gate.
Cao Rong appeared at the north gate of Mocheng with officials, with no smile in his expression, and the joy of greeting relatives and friends.
When he met Xiong Wu, Cao Rong's face was cold, and his attitude towards Xiong Wu was very cold!
Xiong Wu noticed Cao Rong's cold and frosty expression, secretly chuckled, and said loudly: "Cai Jun, the great enemy is current, Cai Chu should work together, unite as one, and jointly resist Yan Qi's southward movement."
Cai Chu is a southern country, the two countries are clothed with water, the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, if the Cai country encounters a crisis, the north of the Chu country will hang a sharp arrow! ”
"Yes, Emperor Chu!" Cao Rong was too lazy to greet Xiong Wu!
He knows Xiong Wu too well, he is two-faced and three-stabbed, and he is by no means a reliable ally.
Half a year ago, the state of Chu called on the southern army to go on a northern expedition, and the northern expedition failed.
Xiong Wu sent an army to invade Cai State, in a vain attempt to recover the losses in Dayan from Cai State.
Now, Emperor Yan is dispatching troops in the north, and Xiong Wu has proposed the union of the southern princes, among them, how much sincerity there is, it is difficult to predict!
Today, if it weren't for the signs of the Northern Yan Army going south again, he believed that Xiong Wu would definitely not easily let go of the mustard and come to Mocheng with words!
Hearing this, Xiong Wu smiled and said nothing, he really didn't pay attention to Cai Guo, he came to Mocheng today, in addition to worrying that the Yan army would go south and hurt the foundation of Chu in the south, he also hoped to talk with the monarchs of the four eastern countries in Mocheng.
Otherwise, the situation is in favor of the Chu State, and he will choose not to mind, annex the Cai State, and extend the power of the Chu State to the south bank of the Yangtze River!
That will listen to Cao Rong's long-winded words and keep questioning himself!
Without waiting for Xiong Wu to answer, Cao Rong continued: "If Emperor Chu sincerely cooperates, he should return the territory of Cai that he occupied in the south to Cai State!" ”
"Cai Jun, do you think it's possible?" Xiong Wu looked contemptuous, glanced at Cao Rong with slanted eyes, and asked rhetorically.
If he eats something in his stomach, he will vomit it out!
"Humph!" Cao Rong snorted lightly, no longer paid attention to Xiong Wu, took two steps quickly, and instructed the officials next to him: "Arrange a residence for Emperor Chu in Mocheng, and wait for Yue Jun and Wu Jun to come!" ”
It's hateful, it's extremely hateful, compared to the Yan army's occupation of the cities along the river, the Chu army's occupation of a large territory in the south of Cai!
also brazenly said that if you eat something in your stomach, how can you spit it out, I'm afraid that there is no one more shameless than Xiong Wu.
"Cao Rong, you are bold, who introduced the Yan army into the south and caused the crisis in the south, you should be clear in your heart!" Xiong Wu snorted coldly and threatened Cao Rong.
"Emperor Chu, if you say that, the Chu-Yue coalition army invaded Cai State, could it be that Emperor Chu turned a blind eye and heard it. The southern princes were afraid that there was no hope of unity. Cao Rong did not show weakness, there was a anger in his heart and there was no place to vent, but Xiong Wu dared to brazenly mention the previous battle.
If it weren't for Chu Yue's wolf ambition, how could he have begged Emperor Yan for help in desperation, lured the wolf into the house, and caused Cai Yue and the two cities along the river to be lost!
Let the Yan army be stationed south of the Yangtze River for a long time, and it may threaten Cai Guo at any time!
All this is not his Xiong Wu's move!
Xiong Wu chuckled and said, "Cai Jun, this time I came with great sincerity, hoping that the four kingdoms of Wuyue, Cai and Chu will unite again and pursue the Yan army in the south. Otherwise, if the Yan army goes south, whether the Cai army can stop it alone, the Cai country will perish, and the southern vassal states will not have a peaceful day. ”
Losing the opportunity to meet Lin Feng this time, Xiong Wu hid anger in his heart. He hoped to unite the troops of the four countries, wait for Lin Feng to the south, and compete with Lin Feng head-on on the battlefield.
Cao Rong didn't believe Xiong Wu's words, let alone Xiongwu's sincerity, and said bluntly: "Chu and Yue will not return the homeland of Cai, this time the four countries will unite, I refuse to participate, and the troops of the three countries will not want to go north safely from Cai." ”
Cai lost a large area of territory in the southeast and southeast, and the territory became small, and sooner or later it would be annexed by the vassal states, and if he could not recover the lost territory, he would rather burn all the jade.
"You, unreasonable!" Xiong Wu roared.
He will definitely not return the southern territory of Cai State, but if Cai Jun orders the army to close the gates of the northern city of Cai State and go to the north, it will become very miserable!
Cao Rong and Xiong Wu competed with each other, and no one paid attention to anyone, and walked into the ink city!
In the next two or three days, Yue Jun Han Yanxi and Wu Jun Zhao Yanyu led their troops to Mocheng successively!
For a while, Mocheng became noisy, the grass and trees were all soldiers, and the atmosphere suddenly condensed.
The kings of the four kingdoms gathered in Mocheng for the first time in the history of the Cai Kingdom.
Mu Junyan led troops to garrison outside Mocheng, and Wu Jieshao, who returned from the south, personally led troops to garrison in the city to prevent the three armies of Wu, Yue and Chu from playing tricks in Mocheng.
It also prevents the Great Yan assassins from learning that the kings of the four kingdoms have gathered in Mocheng and take the opportunity to assassinate!
Cai Jun strengthened the defense of Mocheng, however, Cai Jun and Cao Rong never showed up, refused to receive Xiong Wu and the others, and did not show the slightest sincerity in the talks.
The officials of the court of Cai Guo were also surprisingly silent, no official asked the emperor to receive the kings of the Three Kingdoms, and no officials contacted the kings of the Three Kingdoms, and it seemed that they deliberately despised the kings of the Three Kingdoms.
However, whether it is Emperor Xiong Wu of Chu, Zhao Yanyu of Wu Army, or Han Yanxi, the Emperor of Yue, they all know what Cai Guo is thinking!
