Chapter 262: (Jinan War II)

On the fourth day of April in the second year of Fengtian, Shandong Qi State became a general under the account of Gongwu, Langya County guarded Zhang Bu to surrender to the Han Dynasty, Liu Xuanfeng Zhang Bu was the king of Langya, the general of Pingdong, and captured the land of Shandong, because the generals under Zhang Bu's account wore the same military uniform as the Qi army, so Zhang Bu ordered his subordinates to smear red at the center of the eyebrows, called the 'Red Eyebrow Army', which is also because the Han family advocates fire virtue, and the fire is red, Zhang Bu has no way to change the soldier's clothes and armor to red because of the conditions, so he can only point red in the center of the eyebrows to distinguish the Qi army from himself.

At the same time as Zhang Bu's rebellion, Jinan City also broke out in an unprecedented scale of battle, because of Prime Minister Liang Gong's strategy, Cheng Wenzhe's soldiers entered the inner city through the Qi River, and the inside and outside opened the inner gate of the east gate, and it was Zhou Jun who was responsible for guarding the city gate that night, and he himself was also killed in front of the battle after Fan Wenhui attacked the inner city, and the first level spread all over the generals, and the soldiers of the southern battalion of the Qi army also rushed to the east gate battlefield under the leadership of Chen Zhao, tens of thousands of people were killed together, the scene was very spectacular, The strength of the northern defense envoy was imprisoned before because of Liang Gong's surrender, and all the northern troops belonged to Cheng Gongwu's youngest son, the prince Cheng Wuqing was directly under the central government, and the prince was only nine years old, and the commander of the army was the prince's own uncle, the younger brother of the queen of the West Palace, and Song Jia, the general of the chariot cavalry.

Cheng Qingzhi's cavalry troops suffered from suspicion before, and were blocked by Cheng Xizhao and Cheng Ping's major army thirty miles north of Jiyang, and could not advance, poor Cheng Xizhao and Cheng Ping Chong are still in the dark, blocking the most powerful Cheng Qingzhi's reinforcements, making Jinan kill the world.

Zhang Bu's Red Mei Army and Gai Yan's army did not take care of Cheng Gongwu's civil strife, but directly annexed the southern region of Qi State, trying to compress the territory of Qi State, and the defenders of these cities have been requisitioned.

Liangjie Town, Shangguan Yin Feng Camp

At this moment, in the camp of the Chinese army, there are many generals, the atmosphere is solemn, Shangguan Yin Feng is looking at the map of the territory of the world, the big tent is opened, Huang Long walked into the tent with excitement on his face, hugged his fists and said: "Lord Qiqi, Huang Wei has sent news that its vanguard army is only forty miles away from Changqing County, and the follow-up army will arrive on the same day." ”

"Okay..."Shangguan Yin Feng waited for a few days, what he wanted was this news, as early as more than ten days ago, he ordered Huang Wei to come to Changqing County with 50,000 soldiers, because of Cheng Qingzhi's departure, he was not hindered on the way, on the contrary, he was delayed for some time because he wanted to carry grain and grass: "Generals, news came from Jinan City yesterday that Cheng Wenzhe's army has entered Jinan City, and with the passage of time, it is believed that Jinan's defense force has been weak, and the Han army is attacking with Zhang Bu's Red Mei Army in southern Shandong, The south is now in addition to Linyi in the south of Langya County, has all fallen into the hands of the Han army, this king wants to take advantage of the Han army before the north, in one fell swoop to take Jinan City, even if Cheng Qingzhi and others come back to their senses, they are already lost dogs, Shandong rebellion can be calmed down on the same day. ”

"No..."

"Yin Chang, this king takes you and General Liang Xi as the vanguard, leads 20,000 soldiers to set off first, after arriving in Jinan, twenty miles away from Jinan, remember, don't take the initiative to attack, wait for the king's army to come."

"No..."

This opportunity is the way out for Yin Chang, a general, as long as Jinan is taken, he can be promoted because of his merits, and if he can't mix the general's position, he can at least mix a general of the guard as one, compared to being a small captain in the town of the two realms, it is much taller: "The last general will definitely live up to the great grace of the prince." ”

Shangguan Yin Feng also waited for the vanguard reinforcements to arrive before leaving, and ordered Huang Wei to lead the army to arrive immediately, and the leading general of the vanguard army was none other than Cao Zhen, he waited too long, and after getting the news, he set off with the cavalry of the fallen camp in the starry night, in addition to the 6,000 cavalry under his command, he also brought 20,000 foot soldiers, and Huang Wei led the remaining 30,000 heavy infantry soldiers to the rear, or arrived on the third day when Shangguan Yin Feng arrived in Jinan, which is also a later story.

On the eighth day of the first month of April, Jinan City, the battle is still continuing, but the scope has expanded from the east gate to the inner city, during which Fan Wenhui's troops were driven out of the east gate by Chen Zhao and Zhou Ang several times, but they were also recaptured subsequently, most of the people in Jinan City failed to run out, and the other three gates were closed at the same time, Zhou Fan did not forget to dissuade Cheng Gongwu from leading the army to retreat north, and went to Jiyang to join Cheng Pingzhong and others, after all, now Jinan has been broken, and then there is no point in consuming it.

However, what Zhou Fan didn't expect was that Cheng Gongwu, who chose to continue to hold on, died violently in the palace on the night of the seventh day of the new year because of the rush to attack his heart, coupled with the recurrence of previous injuries, this news was naturally unconcealed in the disheartened Qi State, after Cheng Wenzhe got the news, he sent people to publicize in Jinan City that Zhou Fan killed Cheng Gongwu, so that Song Jia, who commanded the northern defense troops and horses, had to lead the army to surround Zhou Fan's mansion, and Zhou Ang After getting the news, he didn't care about robbing Zhou Jun's body, so he went to Zhou Mansion with the southern defense soldiers and horses to relieve the siege, Fierce battles broke out around the Zhou Mansion, and this civil strife greatly reduced the pressure on Fan Wenhui's troops who were fighting in the city, after all, the combat effectiveness of the defensive soldiers and horses in the north and south was much higher than that of the soldiers and soldiers of the southern battalion, and now the civil strife gave them the best opportunity.

On the eighth day of the first month, the soldiers of the Nanda Battalion who fought with Fan Wenhui in the city began to surrender to Fan Wenhui in the formation, these people are not stupid, they belong to the forbidden army, once Cheng Wenzhe ascends the throne, then they are also forbidden troops, in addition to the officers will be punished, the officers who choose to surrender to Cheng have the merit of the dragon, and it is much more cost-effective to surrender naturally.

Chen Zhao, the chief general of the Nanda camp, and Cheng Wenzhe are also related, in terms of relationship, Cheng Wenzhe has to call Chen Zhao a cousin, but Chen Zhao did not dare to surrender, the reason is that Chen Zhao was the main force responsible for suppression during the rebellion of the crown prince that year, and most of the many generals under Cheng Wenzhe were ordered to be killed by Chen Zhao, so this Chen Zhao did not dare to surrender.

Desperate resistance may be the only way out for Chen Zhao.

"Lord, news came from Jinan, the thief Cheng Gongwu died in the palace yesterday, it is rumored that Zhou Fan killed Cheng Gongwu, and now the new northern defense envoy Song Jia has been at war with Zhou Fan, and many soldiers in the southern camp are also surrendered to the siege of Fan Wenhui, it is expected that Jinan will be taken by Cheng Wenzhe today." Huang Long hurriedly came in order to report the good news to Shangguan Yin Feng.

"Ordered the generals to cover the entire Jinan with a rain of arrows, Cao Zhen led his troops to lead 20,000 foot soldiers to raid the Cheng Wenzhe army at the east gate, and be sure to ensure the safety of Liang Gong, Yin Chang and Liang Xi led the troops to attack the west gate, and after entering the city, they went directly to the palace of Qi to kill..."

"Tell the generals that after entering the city, anyone wearing the uniform of the Qi army will be killed, and if they surrender, they will be punished..."

Shangguan Yin Feng wanted to say that he would be killed, but after thinking about it, forget it, if he subdued it with violence, I am afraid that these Qi troops would resist, after all, the rule of Shandong in the future will depend on Liang Gong to carry out.
