Chapter 141: Abandoning the Nineteen Counties
At night, there is silence.
As soon as Wang Xu finished dinner, a soldier came to report that Lu Yang had invited him to the banquet.
After thinking about it, I don't know what Lu Yang meant, Wang Xu finally took Zhang Meng, and the two came to Lu Yang's camp.
Lu Yang also put out a banquet, and Wang Xu stood at the door, looking at the hearty from a distance.
"General Wang, please hurry up." Lu Yang strode over with a smile.
Now Lu Yang was too enthusiastic, Wang Xu couldn't help muttering in his heart, and took Zhang Meng into the big tent and sat down.
Wang Xu bowed his hand and saluted back: "Brother Lu is really polite, brother, I bothered me." ”
Zhang Meng always stood behind Wang Xu, and he did not sit down, because he wanted to protect Wang Xu's safety at all times; Before leaving, Jia Hui told him again and again, Zhang Meng remembered it in his heart, and his eyes scanned everyone in the big tent, like a hungry wolf waiting to attack.
Lu Yang and Wang Xu were talking to each other, each with their own thoughts, both guessing each other, the wine glass was raised, and everyone drank it all.
Not long after, the banquet was in a good situation, Lu Yang said the purpose of tonight, Lu Yang said: "General Wang, according to the agreement, I have paid the price of 10,000 soldiers, I think, I can withdraw the army." ”
Wang Xu said: "I don't know where Brother Lu is going to retreat?" ”
Lu Yang was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Of course, it's the nineteen counties south of Wangcheng, isn't this what we said in advance?" ”
Wang Xu was taken aback, got up and said, "You mean that you are going to garrison troops in the nineteen counties now?" ”
Lu Yang nodded, but he was very worried, he was worried that Wang Xu would not agree, because the agreement said that Lu Yang would first invest 10,000 soldiers to fight, and then Wang Xu would invest 20,000, but if Wang Cheng was not taken by then, then both sides should invest troops again, but now they want to withdraw, which is a bit inconsistent with the contract.
Wang Xu sat down slowly, and in an instant, a thousand thoughts flashed through his mind
Now that Liu Yang has completely controlled the army, as long as he gets the order to garrison the south gate, he can start to implement the plan, and according to the 'detailed map of Guxi County', the success rate will be very high.
Wang Xu picked up the wine bottle and drank a glass of himself, his mind still thinking about the gains and losses; From the overall situation, Wang Xu didn't want Lu Yang to leave, because Wang Cheng had not yet been breached, and there were still great variables, if something happened, Lu Yang's army could become a great help.
However, everything has advantages and disadvantages, Lu Yang's army will always be in danger of staying by his side, once the royal city is broken by himself, Lu Yang will definitely lead the army into the city to garrison, what if the two armies have a dispute? What if he takes a fancy to the money and food in the city?
After thinking about it, Wang Xu finally compromised, before he had absolute strength to defeat Lu Yang, it was better to take precautions, as for the nineteen counties south of Wangcheng, Wang Xu didn't look at it at all, the imperial court could come over at any time, those cities were extremely dangerous! Don't.
After thinking clearly, Wang Xu said loudly: "Okay, I promise you, I will order the withdrawal tomorrow." ”
"Really?" Lu Yang was overjoyed.
Wang Xu nodded happily.
Lu Yang smiled: "Okay, General Wang is really fast-talking. Lu Yang raised his glass and drank it with Wang Xu, he couldn't believe that things would go so smoothly.
After the matter was done, Wang Xu had no need to stay here, and after a few drinks with Lu Yang, he got up and said goodbye.
Lu Yang sent Wang Xu outside the barracks all the time, and arched his hand: "General Wang, then we will have a meeting later." ”
"Brother Lu, please stay." Wang Xu turned around and answered, and then walked out of the barracks with Zhang Meng
Not long after, Wang Xu returned to his big tent.
As soon as he entered the account, Miansheng came, Zhang Meng thought he was an assassin, and even if he wanted to make a move, he was stopped by Wang Xu in time.
Miansheng said: "Lord, Liu Yang has received Zhou Yi's permission, and he can go to the south gate tomorrow to garrison." ”
Wang Xu was overjoyed: "Okay, it's finally a success." ”
Wang Xu said: "You go back now and tell Liu Yang that at the third watch tomorrow night, I will lead the army to arrive, and then use my rocket as a signal to join forces inside and outside to capture the royal city." ”
"No." Miansheng groaned, and then walked out of the big tent.
As soon as Miansheng left, Wang Xu still couldn't help jumping to his feet happily, he came to the main seat and sat down, and kept rubbing his hands: "Great, the plan can be implemented." ”
Although Zhang Meng was stupid, he also heard some doorways and asked, "Lord, can you capture the royal city tomorrow night?" ”
Wang Xu got up and patted Zhang Meng's shoulder, then pinched the strong muscles in his arm, and said, "There will be a big battle tomorrow night, I don't know if you can capture Wangcheng, but I promise you, you will definitely kill hard!" ”
"Haha, that's great." Zhang Meng shouted happily, and immediately promised: "Lord, don't worry, there is no unwinnable battle!" Even if I'm the only one left in the army, I'll fight until I finish killing the enemy! ”
Zhang Meng was imposing and full of confidence, Wang Xu was greatly satisfied, and he couldn't help but fantasize in his heart, how good it would be if the whole army was like Zhang Meng, it would really be invincible.
Wang Xu came to the tent, looked up at the sky, and at the same time secretly swore in his heart that tomorrow's battle is very important, and it may determine his future fate, so he must do whatever it takes!
This night, Wang Xu slept well and did not wake up until the sun rose the next day.
Lu Yang's movements were fast, as if he was afraid that Wang Xu would regret it, he led the army to start the southward march early, and he didn't even say goodbye.
Knowing that Lu Yang led the army to set off, Wang Xu immediately asked Huang Quan to send fast horses to the county orders of the nineteen cities in the south, and all the captains of the county towns were immediately transferred to the Wangcheng army, including Liao Yunsuo's department in Languan and Minglan counties.
Wang Xu calculated, all the soldiers and horses in the county town (excluding Liao Yun's department), there should be 8,000 people, if Liao Yun's subordinates are added, it should be doubled, at least 15,000, the combat effectiveness of this army must be very poor, but Wang Xu doesn't want to give up, no matter how you say it, it is also a force, and transferring all the soldiers to Wangcheng is also a help when it is in a hurry.
Because there will be an action at night, Wang Xu asked all the soldiers to stand by to rest, and even the training was exempted, not only that, but also took out all the good wine and meat to reward the three armies! After eating the big fish and meat, the soldiers were really grateful, and cheers rang out in the camp.
Everything was arranged, Wang Xu finally breathed a sigh of relief, now that everything was ready, he just waited for the big battle at night
Imperial City.
Today is the day of Yu Yuan's expedition, and the 300,000 troops have been mobilized, but a small accident occurred, and the expedition was temporarily put on hold.
"I heard that the old general was assassinated last night, and now the six imperial doctors are consulting, and life and death are worrying."
"Who is so bold as to dare to assassinate the old general."
"Who knows, I heard that the person came and went without a trace, and his martial arts are extremely high, if it weren't for the old general's quick reaction, I'm afraid it would be now."
Several little eunuchs gathered around and whispered.
At this time, the sixth prince Zhou Xie was passing by, and when he heard the news, he was overjoyed and surprised, happy that the five thousand gold could be obtained, and was surprised that the merchant could really hurt Yu Yuan, you must know that Yu Yuan is a veteran, and no one can defeat him in a hundred battles.
Zhou Xie's eyes rolled, and then he walked towards the Jinluan Palace, he wanted to see the emperor's attitude, whether he wanted to send other people to fight, if so, then he had to ask for battle in time in case of accidents.
