Chapter 1164: Dancing with the Steps of Others
One or two old ghosts at sea are familiar with how to conduct one after another water battles that outsiders can't see any flaws, of course, they can't make Ning Zhiwen's one-sided victory, which will undoubtedly make people suspicious, because after the Zhou clan's power is in charge of the Qi people and sailors, they have slowly regained their disadvantage.
It was planned that when Bian Wushuang arrived at the front line, Ning Zhiwen began to launch attacks on the Zhou Clan's naval division again and again, winning big and defeating, and then accumulating advantages little by little, and finally expelling the Qi people's naval division from the Jinghu area. In this process, the elite forces of the Zhou clan will leave here through hidden channels and set off for Daming through Quanzhou.
When the Qi people's water division was defeated in Jinghu, in fact, there were not many options for Zhou Jiyun, either to passively fight against the Chu people without the support of the navy, or to take the initiative to withdraw from Jinghu and stick to the six eastern counties.
And at this time, Zhou Shuguang can return to Bozhou and lurk with peace of mind, waiting for the Ming army to attack in the coming day, and help the Ming people take the entire Bozhou.
Glass after cup of warm wine, one plan after another was baked in the slightly smoked wine. When the two finally decided on all the plans, the sound of treading water finally came from above the water.
The two turned around, and He Rentu and Hu Bugui had already returned from the small sand dunes in the distance.
He Rentu's clothes were full of holes, which were worse than calling Huazi, but the whole person was as proud as a rooster, holding his head high, staring at all directions, and couldn't hide his pride. Although Hu Bugui's clothes were neat and tidy, and there was no difference between him and when he left, his face was gloomy, as if he was about to drip water.
Just look at the expressions of the two, you can know who wins and who loses.
After everything is settled, the two parties will naturally go back to their respective homes and find their own mothers.
When Ning Zhiwen comfortably swayed the sculls with He Ren Tu and slowly returned along the quiet river, Jinghu County had already set off earth-shattering waves.
Bian Wushuang led his 20,000 elites to arrive at the Jinghu front line ahead of schedule, and had already set up camp in Daci City, joining forces with Lei Hu and Lei Bao. This made the number of Chu troops in Daci City suddenly rise to 40,000.
Cheng Wuben's marshal mansion in Jinghu was originally outside the county town, and a rich merchant's garden was requisitioned as a garrison, but as the war with Zhou Jiyun deepened, the Qi people began to assassinate the senior Chu generals and officials on the Jinghu front line by unscrupulous means, in order to cause chaos in Jinghu County.
The generals live in the barracks, and it is difficult for the assassins to sneak around in the barracks unscrupulously, and assassinating the generals in the barracks is tantamount to pulling teeth out of the jaw. But the civil officials of Jinghu suffered a disaster, and many people died under round after round of assassinations, even Cheng Wuben encountered danger several times.
The most dangerous time was when two ninth-level masters led by Qi Ren led a team of elite assassins to attack this garden. Although Cheng Wuben was the commander of the Chu army in Jinghu, almost all the soldiers and horses were deployed on the front line, and for the Chu army, they had been passively defending, so that their troops were not abundant, especially the elite troops were not many. For example, although the 20,000 Western Army in Suqian has good combat strength, their attitude towards Cheng Wuben has always been very warm, and it is naturally difficult to gain more trust in Jinghu.
More importantly, it is also extremely interesting what role the internal security system, which should have taken greater responsibility for this dark war, in this assassination of Cheng Wuben.
When this extremely dangerous attack occurred, the main forces of the internal guards in Jinghu were led by Yang Qing, the commander of the internal guards, to encircle and suppress the other groups of Qi forces that had infiltrated Jinghu, and the forces around Cheng Wuben were extremely empty.
Fortunately, Cheng Wuben's own combat effectiveness was extremely strong, and Jiang Shangyan was also very careful about this, and quietly arranged a sentry cavalry not far from the manor. This cavalry team, which was hiding in a small village just in case, actually came in handy.
When the cavalry received the news and quickly galloped to the other garden, the defensive force in the manor had almost been emptied, and Cheng Wuben had already gone into battle in person. Although he is at the peak of the ninth level, it is naturally very difficult to face the two Qi people who are at the ninth level. If it weren't for the fact that this horse team arrived at the most critical time, I was afraid that something big would happen.
After that, at the strong request of Jiang Shangyan and Zeng Lin, the warden of Jinghu County, Cheng Wuben finally left this annex closer to the front line and moved to the county seat, where he co-located with Zeng Lin. The county government is divided into two, half is Zeng Lin's county office, and the other half is Cheng Wuben's marshal's mansion.
This time, Jiang Shangyan ignored Cheng Wuben's opposition and forcefully stationed a cavalry of 500 people outside the county guard's mansion, plus Cheng Wuben's personal soldiers and Zeng Lin's guards, it was finally safe. And after this incident, Yang Qing also seemed to have finally come to his senses, and transferred a large number of internal guards to the county government to protect the safety of these high-ranking officials.
But for him, the people of Jinghu, to be honest, it is difficult to trust. Because Yang Qing is the emperor's out-and-out hardcore confidant, and the emperor's intention to kill Cheng Wuben has long been known to passers-by.
Bian Wushuang abandoned Qin and surrendered to Chu, and was immediately reused by Min Ruoying, and the most shocked were the generals of Jinghu. Xiang Zhuang danced the sword, which was intended for Pei Gong, and the naked drunkard did not mean to drink.
Bian Wushuang is a big man who shocks the world, this person's achievements in military affairs are not lower than Cheng Wuben, his appearance means that Cheng Wuben is not the only one in Chu State, only irreplaceable is the safest, and it is precisely because of irreplaceability that Cheng Wuben can stand firmly along Jinghu Lake and guard this last line of defense for Chu State.
But now, Bian Wushuang is here.
Moreover, it seems that he can't wait to run to Jinghu.
"Ignore him." Jiang Shangyan clenched his fists and said fiercely: "If he dares to have a bad heart, I will lead the cavalry to trample him flat." It is said that he has an immortal talent, and he is really so powerful, how could their Qin State be beaten by the Ming Dynasty and lose their armor, and they will lose their country when they see it? This man is not even faithful to his own country, can we still count on him? ”
"Cheng Shuai, the purpose of Bian Wushuang's trip is very clear, what Shangyan said, it is not without a target, the best way is to cool him down, ignore him, what he wants to do, he will do it, and no matter what he does on our Jinghu defense line, he will not want to meddle in Jinghu." Zeng Lin was also worried.
Cheng Wuben was looking at Bian Wushuang's worship sticker in his hand over and over again, listening to the words of the two, and said with a smile: "Ignore it? How can it be? He is the deputy marshal officially appointed by the imperial court, and he also sent a very formal greeting sticker, and he will come to the county town to meet me soon, is it possible that I still want to turn him away? ”
"Weasels give New Year's greetings to chickens, can they be kind?" Jiang Shangyan said angrily.
"We know, Bian Wushuang knows, but ordinary people can also know?" Cheng Wuben glanced at Jiang Shangyan, "All the general public sees is that tens of thousands of troops have arrived at the front line, and the Jinghu defense line will be more stable." ”
"Cheng Shuai, you should think about it for yourself." The room is regarded as Cheng Wuben's henchmen, and Zeng Lin has no scruples when he speaks.
"There's nothing to think about for myself, I'm in my sixties!" Cheng Wuben smiled: "This Bian Wushuang is also very bold, he actually stationed the army in Daci, and he wants to come to the county town to visit me alone, people are so generous, if I am stingy, wouldn't it make people laugh?" ”
"What's the problem of stinginess." Zeng Lin raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "Cheng Shuai, people are looking at your position." It is your life that is wanted. ”
"Of course I do." Cheng Wuben shook the sticker in his hand, "But this is a yang scheme, a righteous and bright calculation Cheng Mou, hehe, Cheng can only dance with their steps." ”
Listening to Cheng Wuben's self-deprecation and looking at the bitter smile on his face, everyone in the room was even more angry.
"If you don't do the process, this person's grasp of the military strategy and the general trend does have its own uniqueness." Cheng Wuben put down the sticker, sighed, and picked up another thick file from the desk, "You have all read this file, Bian Wushuang's thoughts are actually similar to mine." counterattacked and expelled Zhou Jiyun from Jinghu, but his appetite was greater, and he wanted to recapture the six eastern counties. In the past, we didn't have enough troops, but now that we have 20,000 more elites from Bian Wushuang, then this is possible! ”
"Even if you want to counterattack, you must be under the leadership of Cheng Shuai." Jiang Shangyan said in a sullen voice: "Otherwise, Jiang Shangyan has 10,000 cavalry, and he can't even command a single soldier." ”
"Confused!" Cheng Wuben sank his face and angrily reprimanded Jiang Shangyan: "How can you be so assertive as you in a major national event?" If Bian Wushuang's counteroffensive plan is really successful, then the Jinghu defense line will no longer be the front line, and the war will burn to the six eastern counties, Jinghu will be safer, and if it is properly planned, some places can be recaptured, and Jinghu will have a strategic buffer zone, which is a fortunate thing and a good thing for Da Chu. ”
"Cheng Shuai is the coach, such a counterattack, of course, should also be under your leadership. Shang Yan was not wrong in this sentence. Zeng Lin said.
"Will the Luo Hu and Luo Leopards of Daci City listen to me? Will Suqian in the City of Great Compassion listen to me? There was no joy or sorrow on Cheng Wuben's face, as if this matter really had nothing to do with him, but was simply stating a fact. If I take the lead, I am afraid that this counterattack will not only end in nothing, but may even fail. But with Bian Wushuang in command, it is very likely that he will win. Defeat or victory, which one do you choose? ”
The crowd fell silent.
"If my guess is right, the main force of Bian Wushuang's counterattack this time will be him, Luo Hu, Luo Bao, and Suqian, and the only thing he wants to move is Ning Zhiwen's sailor."
