The original battle of the platform ended temporarily with the defeat of the border army. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Meng Zhan habitually stood on top of the city tower, looking at the border army that had just been defeated and had entered the city listlessly, silently, only to hear the lonely wind and snow hissing.

"General, why don't you go out of the city and fight them yourself? If you were in charge, you wouldn't have suffered so many defeats in the next few days. ”

Meng Zhan's personal lieutenant looked annoyed and puzzled, when Meng Zhan said that he wanted to stand up for himself, he was the first to stand up and support.

He was not ashamed of his rebellious status, in his opinion, it was the faint king and those traitors who forced his generals to rebel.

"Meng San, you don't understand." Meng Zhan looked at the endless and pale snowfield, and sighed softly.

The adjutant general named Meng San couldn't understand the meaning of his general's words, he only knew that what the general said was right.

Meng Da, Meng Er, Meng San, their three brothers have been wandering around with Meng Zhan since they were children, from the useless Jianghu rangers to the current members of the town guarding a heavy land, all of which are given by Meng Zhan.

The second child died on the battlefield a few years ago, and the boss was upright, and after his own general announced his separation from Dachu, he began to gradually alienate them, but the general knew that he didn't blame him, and Meng San himself often complained that the second child was not righteous, and he still wanted to be loyal to the faint king.

"How is the battle situation in Jiangnan now?" Meng Zhan suddenly asked, although others are in Jiuyuan City, they have been paying attention to the battle situation in Jiangnan, Meng San didn't understand, but he still looked cautious, and said truthfully: "Report to the marshal......"

……

Jiangnan, with the dream of the water town, the world of fairyland.

Although the Xuanyi army swept through the three counties in the south of the Yangtze River overnight and killed countless local officials, it did not do anything to disturb the people.

Pei Yan is also a giant who is familiar with the art of war and is proficient in politics. After lurking in the Jiangnan area for so many years, he has long regarded this place as his base camp, not only strictly prohibiting his subordinates from burning, killing and looting, but also implementing various policies to benefit the people.

For example, in terms of taxation, in the past, Da Chu collected 50% of the tax, but now the Xuanyi Army only collects 40%, and after arresting a few well-known local corrupt officials and bullies to tour the streets, and finally beheading Liwei, there is no longer any opposition in the Jiangnan area.

In addition to the policy of benefiting the people, Pei Yan also established good relations with many wealthy businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River, and after promising various superior conditions, he won the hearts of the people.

Merchants are mercenary, Pei Yan gives them more benefits than the imperial court, they are naturally willing to listen to him, and will not make trouble in secret, if Pei Yan dares to hit the attention of their family property, then they will definitely not sit idly by, and will definitely cooperate with the imperial army to eliminate the Xuanyi army, and in the end, maybe they can get a reputation of loyalty and patriotism.

It's just that Pei Yan has learned from the experience of some failed rebel armies in the previous dynasty, he will never do these things that are not conducive to himself, he does not want to seek anything from them by winning over rich businessmen, but hopes that they will remain neutral and not secretly make evil, which is enough.

And these wealthy businessmen did know each other, and after being sure that their interests would not be damaged, they turned a blind eye, and they believed that no matter whether it was the imperial court or the Xuanyi Army in charge of the Jiangnan area, it would have no impact on them, and what they had to do was very simple, that is, to remain neutral.

Dongning County, Chen's Mansion.

"Report to the marshal...... Qiu Ze'ana butcher blocked the gate of Dongning County to death, grandpa, I ...... No... In the end, I led people to rush and kill several times, but they were all blocked back, and a lot of people were broken. ”

After Pei Yan established the state of Chen, he did not establish himself as king, but instead proclaimed himself the generalissimo of the soldiers and horses of the state of Chen, and the position of king of Chen was given to a seven-year-old boy who had not dried up.

According to Pei Yan, this young boy was the heir left by the marshal Yang Feng during the first uprising of the Xuanyi Army, and the uprising failed, Yang Feng and more than a dozen of his heirs all died on the battlefield, leaving only the youngest heir, Yang Qian.

Pei Yan was entrusted on his deathbed and took over the power of the Xuanyi Army, so he set up Yang Qian as the king of Chen, intending to support the young master and support him to ascend to the throne.

The young master is young, and all affairs will be decided by Pei Yan for the time being.

And at this time, the person who complained with Pei Yan was the bandit leader Hu Dashan who was burned down by Su Heng, broke the foundation of the bandits in Guanshan, and finally fled from Guanshan.

On that day, Hu Dashan took advantage of his familiarity with the terrain to escape down the mountain with thousands of people from the small road, and finally rushed all the way to Dongning County and joined Pei Yan.

However, because there was no 100,000 Guanshan bandits as a backing, Hu Dashan's arrival was obviously much lighter, but fortunately, Pei Yan was not a ruthless person, so he still gave Hu Dashan a position of deputy general, and his subordinates continued to lead the thousands of bandits he brought.

Because of Hu Dashan's bravery, when Qiu Ze'an led 100,000 Xinxuan troops to kill, Pei Yan sent him as a vanguard to meet Qiu Ze'an, but he did a little failure as a vanguard, and he broke through the siege a total of eighteen times, all of which were blocked back.

The number of people brought by the first charge increased again and again, and finally the number of people who broke through reached more than 80,000, but it still failed. On the contrary, it also lost a lot of people.

The Xuanyi Army is known as an army of 500,000, and it has the potential to kill Shouyang in one go, but it was blocked by Qiu Ze'an at the door of the house, so he was not aggrieved.

In the past few days, Pei Yan has also been holding back the fire, he did not shirk all the responsibility to Hu Dashan, it was Hu Dashan who charged and broke through, but it was he who commanded and arranged the troops.

If you really talk about responsibility, he Pei Yan's responsibility is the greatest.

"Qiu Ze'an is indeed worthy of being a peerless handsome talent, I might as well ...... it"

Pei Yan thought about it for a long time, but in the end he still didn't think of a way to defeat the Xinshu army head-on, so he could only sigh convincingly.

"What should we do?" Hu Dashan looked at Pei Yan cautiously, at this time, he completely lost the heroic spirit of the 100,000 bandits who led Guanshan in the past, but everything was cautious, for fear of saying the wrong thing.

Pei Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, because of the reason that he often practiced martial arts, he looked like he was only in his thirties, even if he frowned, there were not too many forehead lines on his forehead: "Qiu Ze'an is only one person even if he is powerful, and the Xinxuan army is only 100,000 people even if he is brave, I plan to divide my troops to attack Lingnan County, and then break Danyang, attack Shouyang, besiege Wei to save Zhao, force Qiu Ze'an to retreat, and finally attack back and forth, and annihilate him in one fell swoop." ”

The people of Jiangnan are stable, there is no need to worry about civil strife, and the 500,000 Xuanyi army that can fight on the battlefield at any time is Pei Yan's advantage, and he wants to use these advantages to win.

Now although Qiu Enze blocked Dongning County, so that they could not get out, and could not directly attack Shouyang, but in the same way, the Xinwei army was also held back by them, so that they could not leave Dongning, and could only stay there all day long, Zhao Wouji drove to conquer Jiuyuan City, and there was no one in Jingshi, as long as he defeated Lingnan County, he could break Danyang, destroy the Xinwei army, and finally attack Jingshi Shouyang, and win the victory in one fell swoop.
