Changzhou is a hundred miles away, and there is a big river in the middle, Mo Li and the others want to help, but they can't help each other, but since Mo Li and Wang Pu have expected that the situation is likely to deteriorate, they can't help but make some preparations. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"The situation in Changzhou is unpredictable, and it is really Qian Yuanqian who is in danger. He secretly colluded with Liu Jin in Changzhou, first pretending to help each other, and then attacking each other in the battle, wanting to surprise him, but in fact it was for tricks, this is a small way, and now it is self-defeating, and he can't complain about others. If he had taken the main road from the beginning and sent out his troops in an upright manner, how could he have found himself in such a situation? Wang Pu analyzed Qian Yuanjun's gains and losses.
Mo Li shook his head lightly, "What Qian Yuanqian does, seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, is human nature." If you have the opportunity to get something easily, why waste money and food in vain? Even if you march into the army in a dignified manner, it is difficult to say that you will win. If the failure lies, it is Qian Yuanjun's failure to discover the abnormality in Changzhou in time, in the final analysis, this is a lack of talent. ”
Wang Pu's face was solemn, and he muttered: "If Qian Yuanqian really defeats Changzhou, how can we deal with it?" ”
Mo Li thought for a while, got up and came to the sand table, "Let you and I deduce the battle situation first." ”
......
Changzhou.
Wu Yue's army attacked Changzhou City with all its might, and it had been half a day, and Qian Yuanqian came to the front of the battle to supervise the soldiers.
Qian Hua followed Qian Yuanjun's side, assessing the battle situation while secretly making calculations.
Qian Yuanjun mobilized heavy troops to storm Changzhou, which not only weakened the defense of Wu Yue's army against Wu, but also weakened Wu Yue's army's defense of Changzhou and Kuaiao.
Qian Hua was uneasy, and couldn't help but persuade Qian Yuanqian again, but he failed to get the other party to adopt his opinion. Qian Yuanqian has made up his mind to break Changzhou City first, which cannot be said to be wrong, because once Changzhou City is captured, the major event will be decided, but Qian Hua has assisted Qian Mu for many years, and the reason why Qian Mu is deeply valued is that he has a drip-proof temperament, he saw that he could not get a military order here in Qian Yuanjun, so he left the front of the battle and came to the camp to make some arrangements within his ability.
"Pass General Chen." Qian Hua, as the chief of the march, passed down orders in the big tent.
There is only one way he can do, so there is no big layout, only one: gather a limited number of elite troops to ensure the retreat of the army in case of emergency.
At this time, outside the city, in the camp of the Wu army.
Kuai Ao received a secret report, "The ambush soldiers have arrived at the agreed place, and they are now stepping up to land, and it is expected that they will be able to arrive after nightfall to implement the night attack strategy!" ”
Hearing the news, Kuai Ao was greatly excited, and couldn't help but bend his fingers into a fist, "There is still half a day, as long as you spend this half a day, great things can be done!" ”
After thinking for a while, Kuai Ao found his henchmen and passed down the order: "Go and contact Lu Gong, let him find a chance to escape after nightfall!" ”
Lu Jiang was detained in the camp by Qian Yuanqian and closely monitored, and during this critical period, Qian Yuanqian would not have the kindness of a woman and be "polite" to Lu Jiang.
Tonight, the Wu army ambushed and attacked the Wu Yue army, and when Qian Yuanqian knew the plan, he would definitely not let Lu Jiang go.
After making these arrangements, Kuai Ao rushed to the front of the battle and supervised the battle with Qian Yuanjun. He appeared in front of Qian Yuanjun, on the one hand, he could continue to paralyze Qian Yuanqian and make the other party unguarded, and on the other hand, he could also monitor Qian Yuanqian to avoid Qian Yuanjun's other actions and his own intentions.
Inside and outside the city walls, fierce battles were raging, and the soldiers on both sides were already red-eyed under the strict orders of their respective generals.
Liu Jin insulted Qian Yuanqian for a long time as usual, and after his mouth was dry, he came to the city to rest for a while, before his ass was firm, a general hurried to report, "General, the thieves are desperate, the offensive is too ruthless, only with the strength of the city, I am afraid that I can't resist it, and it is difficult to hold on until sunset, please make a quick decision!" ”
Qian Yuanqian gathered heavy troops to attack the city with all his might, and the military orders were strict, so the soldiers of the Wu army were not paper-paste, how could Changzhou City be as stable as Mount Tai and not in danger of falling?
Liu Jin pondered for a while, and saw that the figures on the head of the city were shaking, arrows were flying, the battle was tight, and the bleeding was like flowing water, almost soaking the city wall, and he had already realized the urgency of the situation.
"You must hold out until sunset, I have seen the banner in the military camp outside the city, the success or failure of the matter is tonight, there is no room for failure!" Liu Jin stood up, "Pass my general's order, all the strange soldiers will be out, and go to the city to participate in the battle!" ”
The generals were overjoyed when they heard this, and hurriedly went to arrange it.
The reason why Liu Jin was able to fight hard for several days under the onslaught of Wu Yue's army and keep the city intact, how could he really only have the little strength that Qian Yuanqian thought?
In fact, Wu Guo has 3,000 elite soldiers hidden in the city!
Of these 3,000 soldiers, Liu Jin only used hundreds of them to the city every day, increasing step by step, in order not to show his feet. At the beginning, he didn't plan to use them all, after all, there were too many additional troops, and even if there were multiple covers, there was no guarantee that Qian Yuanqian would not be able to see the clues.
If so, fierce battles until dusk.
......
Outside the city of Yangzhou, in the Tang military camp.
Halfway through the deduction of the battle situation, Mo Li suddenly dropped the small flag in his hand, "No! ”
Wang Pu didn't know why, "What's wrong?" ”
"Changzhou is not right!" After Mo Li returned to the case, he picked up a few Changzhou military newspapers sent by Qian Yuanqian and read them again from beginning to end, and then he closed his eyes and meditated quietly.
Wang Pu's political talent is stronger than military strategy, and his military attainments are not high, so it is inconvenient to disturb at this time, so he can only wait quietly.
After a moment, Mo Li opened his eyes, and the bottom of his eyes flashed brightly, "With the original soldiers and horses of Changzhou, Changzhou City is categorically unable to hold on to these days!" ”
Thinking of this, Mo Lizhong suddenly brightened up, and explained to Wang Pu: "Although Qian Yuanqian did not invest all his troops at the beginning, he also pulled most of Wu Yue's soldiers into battle, and he was eager to conquer the city, the military orders could not be said to be strict, and the rewards and punishments were not heavy, and Wu Yue's army was newly released, and the troops were sharp, how could he not conquer a Changzhou city in five days?" ”
Wang Pu's eyes lit up, "The meaning of the military advisor is that there are soldiers and horses hidden in Changzhou City?" ”
Mo Li's head is gone, "It must be so." ”
Wang Pu's eyes were blazing, "Where there is a conspiracy, there must be clues to be found, the more things come to an end, the more you will date and show your feet, I hope Qian Yuanqian can find out in time!" ”
Mo Li suddenly smiled and said: "Qian Yuanqian is a great person, I'm afraid that he has already doubted it." ”
......
Changzhou.
At the time of the unitary, Qian Yuanqian ordered the troops to be collected.
Seeing that Qian Yuanqian was not angry, Kuai Ao secretly thought about it for a while, and said to the other party: "A thief in Changzhou is almost exhausted, if he doesn't stop attacking today and storms overnight, he may be able to capture the city in one fell swoop." ”
Qian Yuanqian turned his head and glared at Kuai Ao, and said unhappily: "After days of fierce fighting, a certain Guan Kuai Gong trilogy, there were quite few casualties, is it because he didn't do his best?" ”
Kuai Ao was also unhappy, and said angrily: "Why did Gong Qian say this? Our soldiers have been fighting hard for days, attacking the city several times, with nearly 1,000 casualties, if Qian Gong is suspicious, why not go to the camp to take a look? ”
He and Liu Jin did a full set of plays, and when they attacked the city, they also showed the battle very fiercely, and it was not a lie to "attack" the city several times, not only that, but every day after the battle, he asked the soldiers to help each other back to the camp, and then let some of the soldiers pretend to be wounded.
But the intensity of the battle can be faked, but the wounded can't be faked, if Qian Yuanqian is really suspicious, run to his camp to untie the wounded, I am afraid that I will see something surprising - but if things really come to that point, Kuai Ao will fight for his life, and Qian Yuanqian will be killed in his camp.
Qian Yuanqian snorted coldly, broke up with Kuai Ao, and returned to the camp separately.
When he arrived at the account, Qian Yuanqian took off his armor and asked people to find Lu Jiang.
Lu Jiang entered the tent and immediately asked about the details of the battle, he could only see the general situation in the camp, so it was understandable that he was very anxious.
"Tomorrow will definitely be the city!" Qian Yuanqian perfunctory Lu Jiang, and then summed it up like this. Next, Qian Yuanjun complained to Lu Jiang, saying that Wu Yuejun had paid a great price to help Wu Guo quell the chaos, and asked Wu Guo not to have a negative covenant afterwards, for which Lu Jiang naturally patted his chest and promised.
If it was half a ring, Qian Yuanjun's next words seemed logical, "The war has reached this point, and it is useless for Duke Lu to stay in my camp, now you can go back to the camp, I just hope that tomorrow Duke Lu can also go to war and work together with me to break the thief!" ”
Lu Jiang was overjoyed, he had already received a hint from Kuaiao, knowing that the ambush attack was tonight, and he was thinking of a way to escape, but he never thought that Qian Yuanqian would give him a chance, this is really God's favor, "Now the two armies are working together, and the soldiers are fighting bloodily, Lu has been sitting in the camp for a long time, and he also feels ashamed day and night, and he wants to put on armor and fight with the soldiers......"
At this point, Lu Jiang's heart suddenly chuckled, and a bad thought came up uncontrollably: Could Qian Yuanqian be suspicious?
Looking at Qian Yuanjun's expression again, there was still no flaw, but Lu Jiang didn't dare to take it lightly, gritted his teeth between the lightning and flint, made up his mind, and then changed his words, "However, Lu Mou, as an envoy, has his own mission, and now he has his own army to attack Changzhou City, and although Lu Mou is eager to climb to the top of the city immediately, he can't leave his post without permission......"
While looking at Qian Yuanjun's face, Lu Jiang said: "But if Qian Gong wants Lu to contribute, Lu will not refuse, and he is willing to follow Qian Gong and Wu Yue soldiers to kill the enemy tomorrow!" "It shows the attitude of not leaving.
"Oh?" Qian Yuanqian was quite surprised, "I can't imagine that Lu Gong has such a thought, so it's okay, then ask Lu Gong to rest first, and fight with a certain Dao tomorrow." ”
Lu Jiang thanked him and retired.
After Lu Jiang left, Qian Yuanjun's face became gloomy.
Qian Hua's eyes flickered, thoughtful, and asked, "Could it be that Feigong is suspicious?" ”
Qian Yuanqian said in a deep voice: "In the past few days, I have repeatedly increased my troops, repeatedly strictly enforced military orders, and the soldiers have repeatedly struggled forward, but Changzhou has never been able to conquer it, is it really my Wu Yue soldiers who are useless?" I am still somewhat sure of the combat strength of my Wu Yue soldiers over the years...... And I look at the city of Changzhou, every fierce battle, there seems to be more and more thieves, although after the war the thieves are still a few less than the original number, but I am not completely dazzled, this, there seems to be a strange! ”
Qian Hua was suddenly, "That's why the public is tempting Lu Jiang?" ”
Qian Yuanqian nodded, "But Lu Jiang has no intention of getting out, it really makes me unpredictable, if Wu Jun is really cheating, he should take the opportunity to escape." ”
Qian Hua hesitated: "Could it be that the time for Wu Jun to cheat has not yet come, so Lu Jiang is not in a hurry to leave?" ”
Qian Yuanqian pondered for a while, and suddenly stood up, "Pass the order, the whole army will not disarm at night, and wait for the day!" Then order Chen Sirong to mobilize the soldiers of the headquarters and wait in the camp! ”
Qian Hua exclaimed: "The soldiers have been fighting for days, is it too ruthless to toss like this?" "His temperament is indeed watertight, but he also seems indecisive.
Qian Yuanjun did not lack courage, "The city is about to be broken, what are you afraid of in the past two days, if you want to relax, you will talk about it after Kecheng!" ”
However, it was said that after Lu Jiang said goodbye to Qian Yuanjun, he did not return to the account immediately, and Qian Yuanqian was full of eyes and ears inside and outside the military tent, so it was better to find an open place in the camp to be at ease.
Standing in the open space, he raised his head with his hands, and the moon stars above his head were scarce, and Lu Jiang sighed slightly.
The henchman was puzzled: "Just now Qian Yuanqian asked the prince to leave, why didn't the prince leave?" ”
Lu Jiang sneered: "Good and dignified, why did Qian Yuanqian let me go?" I'm not Lu Bu and Qin Qiong, can I still be a single person to be an army? ”
The henchman was surprised: "In this way, Qian Yuanqian is suspicious of the public?" ”
Lu Jiang's eyes were gloomy, "Even if you don't have doubts, it's a temptation." ”
The henchman hesitated: "However, if the incident happens tonight, if the public does not leave, he will inevitably be angered by Qian Yuanjun, how to protect himself at that time?" ”
Lu Jiang said excitedly: "The eldest husband is seeking the king's affairs of the country, how can he spoil a big thing because he is afraid of death?!" ”
The henchman was stunned and awe-inspired, "Gongzhen is a strange person in the world, a piece of loyalty, the sun and the moon can be learned!" A certain wish to follow the father, live and die with the father! ”
Lu Jiang patted the other party's shoulder to show his appreciation, and then he returned to the posture of looking at the moon with his hands in his hands.
Under the clear light, he has a majestic posture and a slender figure, at this time he is in the enemy camp, and he is not afraid of danger and danger, and he cherishes his family and country, and has a pure heart, which is moving. This situation and this scene are indescribably tragic and heroic, and indescribable and romantic.
However, Lu Jiang knew in his heart that he was not unwilling to flee at this time because he wanted to be loyal to Wu State.
In his heart, there was another loud voice, "In the world of great contention, when the Zhengda husband is famous and seeks wealth, I, Lu Jiang, am not afraid of death, but I am afraid of death and have no name!" One day, I, Lu Jiang, want to return to my hometown in fine clothes, and let the world know that I am not the harm of the White Deer Cave, but the master of the White Deer Cave! ”
......
When the night is ugly.
At the head of Changzhou City, Liu Jin was neatly draped and stood solemnly.
Inside the city gate, thousands of armor soldiers were waiting for Liu Jin's order to go out of the city.
The breeze was blowing, but Liu Jin's heart was hot.
From time to time, there is a fire in the north of the city.
Liu Jin perked up, pulled out his horizontal knife, and shouted: "The king has arrived, all the soldiers will listen to my orders, open the city gate, and go out of the city to attack the thieves!" ”
Looking at the camp of Wu Yuejun from a distance, Liu Jin's heart was full of joy, "The thief Qian Yuanjun, dare to seek my land of Great Wu, I really don't know whether to live or die!" You deceived me and insulted me, but tonight I will let you know who has deceived whom and who has insulted whom! ”
The soldiers rushed to kill the city gate, with a momentum like a rainbow, "Kill!" ”
Outside the city of Changzhou, in the camp of the Wu army, Kuai Ao also raised his horizontal knife and ordered the soldiers who were ready to go, "How hateful it is for money thieves to invade my territory and kill my comrades!" Now that the king has arrived, all the soldiers will follow me to kill them, destroy all the money thieves, and serve their family and country! ”
In the Wu Yue military camp, Qian Yuanqian rushed out of the big tent when he heard the news, climbed the corner tower, and saw the endless sea of lights in all directions in the dark night, and saw the Changzhou city gate open, and the Wu army was about to come out. Shaft Ann dares to insult me so far! Yang Pu, Xu Zhihe, and others dare to seek my Qiantang, and they will not die well! ”
Running down from the corner tower, Qian Yuanqian stepped on the war horse, raised his sword and raised his arms and shouted: "Wu Yue Erlang listen, the thieves are coming to die, quickly follow me into battle to kill the enemy, and kill all the thieves!" This victory, Changzhou into my pocket, the marshal Xu Er and others looted for three days, the wealth and goods in the city, Ren Er and others to use, this marshal does not take a cent! ”
Wu Yue's generals rushed out of the military tent quickly, and shouted loudly when they heard the orders of their respective generals.
That night, the two armies fought fiercely outside the city of Changzhou.
The Wu army sent more than 10,000 soldiers to land from the north of Changzhou, first attacked the Wu Yue Naval Division, set fire to the water division's building ship, and cut off the rear road of the Wu Yue Army. When it was, the fire continued for more than ten miles, the river was boiling, and the fire was soaring to the sky, reflecting the city of Changzhou.
Liu Jin and Kuai Ao led their troops to attack the camp of Wu Yuejun, but Wu Yuejun was already prepared, and was repelled by Wu Yuejun's bow and arrow several times, and was even counterattacked by Chen Sirong, with countless casualties.
When Wu Yue's water division was defeated and Wu army reinforcements arrived, Liu Jin and Kuai Ao led their troops to fight back, Wu Yue's army gradually became chaotic, and Qian Yuanqian led his troops to fight hard and struggled to support the situation.
After dawn, Wu Yue's army retreated to Wuxi and stopped the defeat.
In the battle, Wu Yue's army lost more than 5,000 soldiers.
Fortunately, thanks to Qian Hua and Qian Yuanjun's two arrangements, the army will not be completely defeated, although the sailor division is lost by more than half, there are still three or four points of strength.
At night, Lu Jiang took advantage of the chaos to escape, and his entourage was all killed, but only one escaped.
Two days later, the two armies began to fight in Wuxi.
After several days of fierce fighting, the victory was not decided.
After this battle, Wu Yue's army did not retreat, and often had the intention of counterattacking.
In view of this, Wu Jun could not retreat.
The situation in Changzhou then fell into a stalemate, and the Wu Yue army and the Wu army faced each other, and there were battles from time to time, but no one could help the other.
Wu Yue failed to get Changzhou, but lost his troops.
Wu also failed to complete Changzhou's strategy, but lost Wuxi and lost a lot of troops because of Changzhou's strategy.
Tens of thousands of soldiers in the two places fought again and fought endlessly, but in the end, what they got was a draw that was unacceptable to both sides.
