Chapter 65: Reinforcements
Ji Dan and Yuan Zhao were dumbfounded, isn't His Highness crazy? Although he had a record of repelling Xing Feng in the south, to be honest, many people thought that winning that battle was not honorable. Besides, even if he can fight like Sun Rong, after fighting for so long, he has only recovered the territory of one state from Huaixian in Yanzhou to Sanggan in Hengzhou from the rebels, although the main force of the rebels is not on the Eastern Front, but Yuan Rui said that he wanted to take the other party's two states, isn't it a fool's dream?
At this moment, a pro-soldier whispered outside the tent: "Your Highness! β
Yuan Rui's eyes lit up: "Come in!" β
The soldiers obviously didn't expect that there would be so many people in the tent, so they were stunned for a while, looking at Yuan Rui blankly, not knowing whether to speak or not.
"Is there any movement from the rebels? But it doesn't hurt to say it! Seeing that he was worried, Yuan Rui asked directly.
"Yes!" The soldiers replied respectfully, "Ke Xiao, the rebel general of Jicheng, has arrived with his army, and the rebels of Shanggu and Pingyuan are also on the way, counting Zhu Da's original men, it is estimated that the total strength will be about forty or fifty thousand." β
Yuan Rui clapped his hands and applauded, looking excited: "Ji Dan, Yuan Zhao, now you should know what this king is waiting for, right?" β
Yuan Zhao's mind suddenly flashed, revealing a look of sudden realization, his mouth opened wider and wider, and he was about to speak, but Yuan Rui took the lead: "That's right!" Zhu Da besieged Fanyang City without fighting, just to wait for the king's '20,000 reinforcements' to arrive at the battlefield, so that they could be swallowed up together. He Zhu Da can use this trick, why can't I Yuan Rui? If we do it at this time, we will only annihilate 20,000 rebels at most. Therefore, this king must wait until all the rebels gather here, and then annihilate them in one fell swoop! β
After Yuan Rui finished speaking, everyone suddenly opened, and the eyes that looked at Yuan Rui also had a little more admiration, only Yuan Zhao looked annoyed: "Your Highness!" The Last General has already guessed your intentions, can't you wait for the Last General to reveal the mystery? β
Yuan Rui smiled slightly: "Okay, this king will give you another chance, now the total strength of Zhuda's side is about forty or fifty thousand, because we were surprised, and there is General Geng Lao in the city to cooperate, in fact, it is almost enough to send fifty or sixty thousand troops." However, for the sake of insurance, this king doubled again and took out 120,000 troops to kill Zhu Da, so the question is, how do you think the remaining 30,000 horses should be distributed, you can't just stay in the rear and watch from the wall, it will be too wasteful! β
Yuan Zhao's brain was running rapidly, and just now His Royal Highness boasted that he wanted to recover Youyan Erzhou, and since he had this ambition, his vision would naturally not be limited to Fanyang, a small piece of land. That's right! Rebels from all over the country have come to help, and the rear must be empty! Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, and he stretched out a finger to explain.
"Of course, the other 30,000 troops are outflanking Jicheng in the rear! Ke Xiao led the troops to Fanyang, we sent troops to Jicheng, that is not yet captured, and Jicheng is the closest city to Fanyang controlled by the rebels, then the battle of Fanyang will be divided, and the remnants of the army will definitely flee to Jicheng, but they will not think that waiting for them in Jicheng is already my Changle Wang Yuanrui, hahaha......" Yuan Rui once again ignored Yuan Zhao and rushed to say the answer in front of him.
Looking at Yuan Zhao's expression of internal injury, everyone couldn't help but laugh until they convulsed.
After being happy for a while, Yuan Rui's expression suddenly returned to seriousness: "Ji Dan! Yuan Zhao! β
The two of them raised their heads as if they were electrocuted when they heard the words: "The end will be!" β
Yuan Rui: "Order the two of you to be the vanguard of the left and right, each with 60,000 people, and when the rebels from all walks of life are assembled, they will be attacked from both sides, and they will be annihilated!" β
Ji Dan and Yuan Zhao: "Yes! β
Five days later, the last rebel general led his army to the city of Fanyang, where Zhu Da met him in the tent and explained to him the deployment of troops for this battle. Suddenly, the war drums rang out in unison, and the sound of killing shook the sky, and Zhu Da was quite surprised: "Geng Tong Lao'er is out of the city?" β
Just as they were puzzled, Jiang Ji and Ke Xiao rushed into the account at a loss: "General, Yuan Rui is coming!" β
Zhu Da's heart was shocked, how did this Yuan Rui come so quickly? Then he calmed down: "Now that our troops have arrived, we have an obvious advantage in numbers, pass my general order, don't panic because of Yuan Rui's surprise attack, all departments reorganize their formations, and fight to the death with Yuan Rui!" β
Jiang Ji's expression was about to cry: "General, what are the 20,000 people that Yuan Rui brings, look at the situation there are at least 100,000 people." β
Zhu Da instantly lost his fighting spirit, and his lips trembled: "Ten ...... 100,000 ......"
Jiang Ji grabbed Zhu Da's hand and said to Ke Xiao: "General Ke, while Yuan Rui has not yet arrived here, you and I will quickly escort the general back to Jicheng!" β
Ke Xiao also realized the seriousness of the situation: "Yes! The two of them immediately rushed north with hundreds of elite soldiers to escort Zhu Da, and they had no time to care about the lives of the tens of thousands of subordinates outside the tent.
Not only was this battle unguarded, but even Geng Tong in Fanyang City was in the clouds. Watching the rebels outside the city arrive at the battlefield in waves, Geng Tong was very anxious in his heart, from the initial day and night hope that Yuan Rui would arrive earlier, to the later reluctance to see Yuan Rui rush to die, in just a few days, unconsciously, his heart has experienced earth-shaking changes.
At this time, the drums of battle sounded outside the city. After making sure that it was not the rebels attacking the city, Geng Tong's heart slowly fell and sank to the soles of his feet, and Yuan Rui finally came. After hesitating for a moment, Geng Tong hurriedly sent an order out of the city to respond, hoping to get away with Yuan Rui in the city under the heavy siege of the rebels.
With the determination to die, Geng Tong led the army out of the city to "save people", but saw Yuan Rui's army sweeping the entire battlefield like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, and correspondingly, the rebels were scattered and fled. Just when Geng Tong looked confused and couldn't figure out the situation, the war was over, and dozens of rebels were strung together with a long rope, and they slowly came to the city gate with heavy steps under the escort of the imperial army.
Seeing two young generals walking in front from a distance, Geng Tong hurriedly greeted him, but when he got closer, he was stunned again: "Your Highness is not in the army?" β
One of the young generals gave a military salute: "You are General Geng, the last general will be the left vanguard Ji Dan under His Royal Highness's account, this is the right pioneer Yuan Zhao, His Royal Highness did not come to Fan Yang." β
Geng Tong seemed to be taken aback: "Eggs? β
Ji Dan showed a tired expression, he had already experienced too much of this misunderstanding, and patiently explained: "Old general, the last general Ji Dan, the Ji of the season, the Dan of the pill!" β
Geng Tong apologized: "Rude and rude!" By the way, what did General Ji just say? His Royal Highness is not in Fanyang? β
Of course, Yuan Rui was not in Fan Yang, at this moment he was in Jicheng City waiting for the fish from the rebel array on the Fan Yang battlefield. After leaving Ji Dan and Yuan Zhao to relieve the siege of Fanyang, he took 30,000 horses and horses to make a detour to Jicheng. As expected, Jicheng was almost an empty city at this moment, and it was effortlessly conquered by Yuan Rui. After entering the city, Yuan Rui specially instructed the banner of the city to attract Fan Yang's defeated army to defect.
Sure enough, since the second day, the rebels who fled from Fanyang have returned to Jicheng one after another, of course, they have all been arrested by Yuan Rui. At this moment, Yuan Rui himself was leisurely sipping tea alone, quite complacent. Shangguan Qian hurriedly broke in and ruined this leisure: "Your Highness, there are rebels again!" β
Yuan Rui was not in a hurry: "Senior, don't be surprised, look at this king, do you see what it means to be calm and calm?" There are so many rebels who have thrown themselves into the net in the past two days, and you are not used to it? He took another sip of tea.
Shangguan Qian: "This time is different, it's Zhu Da!" β
Yuan Rui put down the cup suddenly, Shangguan Qian was caught off guard, he was startled by his move, and when he came back to his senses, Yuan Rui had already greeted behind him: "Senior, don't go to the city gate with this king soon!" Don't let Zhu Da run away! β
Under the city gate, Ke Xiao was shouting upwards vigorously: "Tell He Song to open the door quickly, I wish the general is back!" β
The city gate slowly fell, Zhu Da and his entourage helped each other into the city, and the grass and trees were all soldiers along the way, and they could finally unload their tense nerves at this moment. However, when the city gate was closed, they realized how naΓ―ve their thoughts were just now, and they saw that the Wei army was densely surrounded all around, all with cold expressions and fierce eyes. Realizing that something was wrong, Jiang Ji turned around, drew a knife in his hand, and wanted to seize the door. But as soon as he took a step, he was shot through his calf by a powerful arrow from behind him, and he fell to the ground.
"If there are any more vain attempts to escape or those who resist, there will be no mercy!" Yuan Rui's majestic voice sounded from behind.
When there was a loud bang, I don't know who threw the weapon in his hand first, and the loss of fighting spirit seemed to be contagious, and in a moment, all the rebels, including Zhu Da, were captured.
A few days later, when Yuan Rui appeared under Fanyang City with a group of prisoners, Geng Tong couldn't wait to rush forward, and the letter that Yuan Rui ordered people to shoot into the city shook back and forth in front of his eyes: "Your Highness, you deceived the old man so miserably!" Are you bullying the elderly like this? But having said that, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were full of smiles.
Yuan Rui smiled: "Old general, don't blame, as the saying goes, if you want to deceive the enemy, you must first deceive yourself, this king is also helpless, otherwise this Fan Yangcheng is afraid that he will not be able to wait for this king to relieve the siege, and let Zhu Da be in the bag, right?" β
Geng Tong patted Yuan Rui on the shoulder: "Not bad!" Soldiers fight with the right battle to win! His Royal Highness has indeed grown a lot in these days, but it's a pity that Geng Bao can't see it......" said and couldn't help but feel sad.
Yuan Rui was relieved: "Geng Bao sacrificed his life for the country, and the people of Great Wei will remember him!" β
Geng Tong suddenly remembered something: "Among the many rebel generals captured under Fan Yang City, there is one person His Royal Highness will definitely be interested. He shouted behind him, "Get up!" β
A bearded man with his hands tied behind his back was pushed to Yuan Rui. "Lian Dayi!" Yuan Rui couldn't help but exclaim.
