October 28 of the first year of Fengtian, Liaocheng

"General, Liang Xi led his troops to defend the streets around the county guard's mansion, and our army's several attacks were repulsed by them, with heavy casualties. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Huang Wei came to Shangguan Yin Feng and said with his fists clenched.

After the northern part of the city was captured, Shangguan Yin Feng set up a headquarters in the courtyard of a large family in the north of the city and moved the camp to the city, while most of the people in the city were in the east of the city, and followed Liang Xi to defend in the east of the city.

"Let the musketeers open a gap, and then use the Shenwu cannon to blast this king." Shangguan Yin Feng was looking at Liaocheng's city defense map, and after listening to Huang Wei's report, he said with a smile: "Liaocheng is already a cyst of this king, and I'm afraid that he Liang Xi won't be able to run away?" ”

"Lord Wang..."Huang Wei looked at Shangguan Yin Feng with a slightly embarrassed expression, clenched his fists and bowed his head: "Those Qi troops knew that there was no way out, so they all fought back, the attack of the musket team hit the cast iron shield, which had no effect at all, and their archers caused a lot of casualties to our army in the group of archers on the street, and the shelling of the Shenwu cannon could easily hurt those people, so..."

Shangguan Yin Feng then remembered the affairs of the people in the city, because after the war began, the people in the city could not get out of the city, and began to run around in the city, most of them were taken to the east of the city by Liang Xi to guard, and the remaining few people were at home, did not dare to go out, so he saved a lot of money, because Shangguan Yin Feng gave an order to his subordinates, without an order, he was not allowed to enter any of the homes of the people in the city to loot, and the violators of military law were punished: "So it is still a little difficult to do, by the way, how many soldiers and horses does Liang Xi have in his hands?" ”

Huang Wei thought for a while and said: "It is estimated that there are more than 10,000 people, our army killed more than 7,000 enemies and captured more than 1,000 people at the west gate, killed more than 2,000 enemies in the north of the city, captured more than 2,000 people, and many Qi troops took off their military uniforms and blended in with the people. ”

"If you want to get out of the city, let them go out of the city, and then order Li Yanqing to guard the West Gate for me, and put the army outside the West Gate Drawbridge, so as not to be attacked before and after." Shangguan Yin Feng raised his head and said carefully, now he is studying the matter of encircling the point to send reinforcements, if all the generals are placed in the West Gate, they will be cut off by the enemy, and they will only be trapped alive in Liaocheng.

And there is a reason for letting those people out of the city, the people who left at least have surplus food at home, and Shangguan Yin Feng came to Liaocheng this time, the entire army has only fifteen days of military rations, and now there are less than seven days of food left, if you don't replenish, you can't take a step forward, there are many caravans coming and going from the south of Liaocheng, and it's no problem to get some food, and although he himself ordered that the people were not allowed to loot the people, but now the people have left, leaving empty houses and food in place, the so-called is not difficult to take in vain, Shangguan Yin Feng, how could he let go of such a good opportunity.

"Lord Wang, there is one more thing, Qian Menglong came to report that Linqing County has been successfully captured, but our army has suffered heavy casualties, and they are resting in Linqing County to replenish food and soldiers." After Huang Wei remembered this incident, he hurriedly reported it to Shangguan Yin Feng.

When the defenders of Linqing County attacked the city by Qian Menglong, Yuan Liang and Yuan Han, they held on to the city, which brought a lot of blows to Qian Menglong and others, although they finally broke through the city defense, but less than 10,000 of the 30,000 people in Qian Menglong's department were left to fight, and there were more than 5,000 wounded soldiers left, so they had to be stationed in Linqing.

Shangguan Yin Feng took a deep breath, then frowned and said: "I didn't expect this Liang Xi to be so good at leading troops, and he actually caused such a big loss to our army, it seems that it is not possible to take this person, send someone to tell Qian Menglong, stick to Linqing County, if the Qi army reinforces Liaocheng, they will move randomly and harass the enemy's reinforcements." ”

"No—" Huang Wei nodded and withdrew.

At the same time, inside the palace of Qi in Jinan, Shandong

A fierce debate is underway, led by the two factions are the left prime minister Zhou Fan and the right prime minister Liang Kong, the matter of the argument is Shangguan Yin Feng sent troops to attack the city, the cause of the matter is yesterday, that is, when Shangguan Yin Feng attacked Liaocheng, Li Chengdong launched a huge attack on Jing County, Jing County guard Liang Chao rose up to resist, and asked for help from the Texas guard Cheng Tai, Cheng Tai immediately sent 20,000 troops to quickly reinforce Jing County, and the large army followed up, but when he was about to arrive in Jing County, he was ambushed by Li Chengdong and his army, The 20,000 troops were annihilated, and Li Chengdong withdrew with a large number of supplies, and immediately canceled the attack on Jingxian, and returned smoothly with less than 3,000 casualties, which brought huge psychological pressure to Liang Chao.

At that time, Liang Gong said that he could not underestimate Shangguan Yin Feng's actions, but he was refuted by Cheng Gongwu himself and Zhou Fan, the prime minister of Zuo, resulting in such a big loss now, and Li Chengdong, a teenager, easily wiped out his 20,000 troops, which can be described as aggrieved.

Cheng Gongwu is not He Jing, he is one of the eight founding pioneers of Gongsun Shu, although he usually rejoices in great achievements, but this person has an advantage, that is, he knows how to learn a lesson, and then lost his way back, after the reinforcements were destroyed, he quickly adjusted the troops, ordered Cheng Tai to take the initiative to attack, and then ordered Cheng Tai to send 30,000 troops to support Jing County again, after all, Jing County is the gateway to Dezhou, must not be lost, to hold Jing County is to hold Dezhou, indirectly guard the northern gate of Shandong.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is better to let the hussar general lead the main force of our army to Jingxian County to join the dogs, and then join forces to take the initiative to attack Li Chengdong's troops, otherwise our army only cares about defending the city, but it reduces morale and causes a lot of psychological pressure on our army, the enemy army comes from afar, and food is scarce, our army can take advantage of this to take them in one fell swoop." Liang Gong arched his hand and said.

In Zhou Fan's view, Liang Kong's move is completely to squeeze out himself, although Liang Kong's four sons are all generals in Qi State, and their official positions are not small, but his Zhou Fan's heirs are also in Qi State as generals, and their official positions are comparable to Liang Gong's heirs: "Your Majesty, Lord Liang's move is to put our army in a predicament, then Li Chengdong ambushed our army reinforcements with the intention of attacking Jing County, if the hussar general led the main force of our army to take the initiative to attack, and was exploited by the enemy army and lost Texas, then Jing County is in their hands, and now Shangguan Yin Feng still did not show up, The minister has reason to believe that Shangguan Yin Feng is waiting for us to take the initiative to attack, and then lead the army to attack Texas, that Shangguan Yin Feng is a well-known sneak attacker in the world, this is his forte, so, the minister thinks, it is better to stick to it, and then draw troops from the counties to go to Texas to support. ”

"Your Majesty, you can't miss the opportunity, take advantage of the enemy's lack of food, or take the initiative to attack, maybe our army can win a big victory." Liang Gong ignored Zhou Fan's words and said directly to Cheng Gongwu.

"Okay, I'll discuss this matter later, I think Prime Minister Zuo Cheng is reasonable, if Shangguan Yin Feng takes advantage of the loophole and attacks my Texas, then Jingxian will lose its own meaning, retreat." Cheng Gongwu said and stood up and left the main hall under the service of the inner attendant.

"Hey..."Liang Gong sighed dryly, in fact, if Cheng Gongwu did what Liang Gong wanted, then Li Chengdong and Ouyang Qing could be defeated, because as Liang Gong said, their troops were short of food and could not hold out for a few days, as long as the main force of the Qi army took the initiative to attack, they would definitely be able to repel the two of them, but it was a pity...

Seeing Liang Gong's frustrated departure, Zhou Fan couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth, his rights are not allowed to be shared by Liang Gong, after all, the left prime minister is bigger than the right prime minister, but the prime minister's rights are divided by Liang Gong's right prime minister and leaves.
