Huang Faqu's whole army was annihilated, the Qi army captured Shiliang City, and the whole territory of Jingzhou naturally returned to the embrace of Qi State, and Xingxing only took a short rest in Shiliang City and led the army south, and went to Nanqiaozhou in a mighty way, at the same time, Wang Lin, the commander-in-chief of the Third Army who guarded Hezhou, also led an army of 100,000 troops, and Xingxing became a horn to force Nanqiaozhou.

Huang Faqu's soldiers were defeated and died, and the news of the Qi army's vigorous arrival was transmitted back to Chen State, and for a while, the civil and military people of the Manchu Dynasty were panicked, and Wu Mingche, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, was also anxious and could not sleep and eat.

Even though Wu Mingche had already learned the difficulty of happiness and knew Wang Lin's tenacity, he never imagined that they would be so powerful, Huang Faqu had been running Jingzhou for several years, and he was still so vulnerable to letting the army of Qi go south.

Happiness seems to be easy to win, but it is not. Not to mention the defeat of the Zhou State and the Turks, the suddenness of the southward march of the happy army caught Chen Guo off guard, and the momentum of the Qi army was even more incomparable to the Chen * army, but it was not easy to be happy for several years.

It is true that Huang Faqu is thoughtful, but after all, in this era, his vision is inevitably limited, and he will not know how many methods of information transmission and confidentiality he has mastered, which makes him unable to guard against it, which is doomed to the end of this war.

"General, the Qi army is encamping, and the defense will inevitably be lax, or the last general will lead people out and kill them while their foothold is not stable, so as to kill the sharp spirit of the Qi army, so as to stabilize the morale of our army." At the head of Nanqiaozhou City, Wu Mingche's deputy general looked at him with a solemn face and said in a deep voice.

A quarter of an hour ago, 50,000 Qi troops finally came to five miles north of Nanqiaozhou, but they did not attack the city directly, but set up camp unscrupulously, and it seemed that nearly 200,000 Chen* troops were not in their eyes.

"No!" Wu Mingche shook his head, his brows furrowed tightly, and his vicissitudes of life were full of sorrow, "Happy is not a fledgling boy, how can he not be on guard?" If you look carefully, the Qi army seems to be loose and slack, but the shadows are full of murderous opportunities, and the arrangements of those catapults and archers, if we rush forward, we will definitely fall into a happy plan and suffer heavy losses. ”

The adjutant general's heart sank, and he said melancholy: "Then what should we do?" The Qi army has won successive victories, and the hearts of the people in the city are fluctuating, if they can't achieve a victory, the last general is worried that the morale of our army will be even more sluggish! ”

Wu Mingche was silent for a moment before he said: "The Qi army is in full swing, and we really shouldn't confront it head-on." Although Nanqiao Prefecture is not said to be an iron wall, it is also considered to be strong, and there are 200,000 elite soldiers in the city, no matter how happy it is, it is impossible to break it, and we are very close to Jiankang, and we can get reinforcements from the emperor at any time, so you don't have to worry too much. It's just-" Speaking of this, Wu Mingche suddenly stopped talking.

The adjutant general looked at Wu Mingche suspiciously: "General, what is it?" ”

Wu Mingche shook his head and said with a smile: "It's nothing, victory will eventually belong to us." Happy that even if it is a tiger, General Ben will break a few teeth from his tiger's mouth! ”

"The general is mighty!" The lieutenant general's spirit was lifted, and the lieutenant general's expression suddenly relaxed, and he secretly laughed at himself for being intimidated by the prestige of joy, and he had no confidence in winning the battle. "This is the place where I am Da Chen, the right time and place and we all have it, so why be afraid of being happy! It was the last general who didn't think it through, and almost messed up his position, which made the general laugh! ”

Wu Mingche shook his head and didn't say anything, but the sorrow in his eyes didn't dissipate at all, and he secretly said in his heart: "I hope I'm worried about it!" ”

But after sleeping for two hours, Wu Mingche woke up from his dream. Pushing open the door and looking up at the dark sky, he couldn't help but let out a long breath, as if he wanted to vent the depression and boredom in his chest.

For decades, Wu Mingche has never been so depressed as he is now. I don't know because of the terrible joy, but also because of the predicament that Chen Guo will face, and his current situation.

Chen Ji's death was too sudden, and it was also a little strange, even if there were some doubts in his heart, Wu Mingche didn't dare to reveal anything. It was only because of Chen Shuling's guilt that Wu Mingche was implicated, although he was not condemned, but the army under his command was purged by Chen Shubao by taking the opportunity. Now, although Wu Mingche is still the head of Chen Guojun, his control over the army is not as good as before. Chen Shubao still respects him on the surface, but in fact he is a little distant.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, how could Wu Mingche not understand, but he was inevitably a little lonely and sad in his heart.

He didn't know that from beginning to end, Sima Fu and the Holy Fire Sect wanted to seize the military power in his hands. After all, Sima Fu's true identity is not trivial, once it is revealed, the outcome is unimaginable, even if Wu Mingche is able to fight again, it is difficult for Sima Fu to believe him.

In Wu Mingche's sigh, the sky gradually brightened. Chen's army was on guard all night, but the Qi army did not move, until noon, Wang Lin came from Hezhou, and the 150,000 troops of the Qi army surrounded Nanqiaozhou, Wu Mingche's heart suddenly sank to the bottom of the sea, and his eyebrows were full of haze.

"General Wu Mingche, the old man is coming, why don't you go out of the city to see each other, and drink and talk together, wouldn't it be enjoyable?!" Standing happily on the high platform six or seven hundred meters away from Nanqiaozhou, his eyes were like stars, looking directly at Wu Mingche, who was under the head of Nanqiaozhou City, and his clear voice was almost heard by the whole city.

Wu Mingche's face was slightly gloomy, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Lord Qi is happy, you and I are opposed to each other, how can the old man say?" ”

Happily shook his head, and said as if he was very disappointed: "General Wu, when I was still young, the name of the general was like thunder, and I always wanted to drink with the general, but the general rejected people and thousands of miles away, which made me lose my life!" Anyway, everyone has their own ambitions, and since the general is unwilling, it is inconvenient for me to force it. ”

Speaking of this, his happy face suddenly straightened, and he said seriously: "Wu Mingche, I guess you also know that the Zhou State and the Turks have been defeated and returned, and it is difficult for you to become independent of the Chen State, so it is better to retreat to the south of the Yangtze River, I will not embarrass you, and the 200,000 Chen* troops in the city can also return to their hometowns safely, I don't know what you think?!" ”

"Hahahaha!" Wu Mingche suddenly laughed when he heard this, "Happy, although you are the lord of Qi, you are too arrogant!" This Nanqiao Prefecture is my Da Chen's city, what right do you have to ask General Ben to retire? It's up to you to retire! Your Qi army is only 150,000, how can you defeat the general's army of 200,000 tigers and wolves? ”

"Joke!" scolded sharply, and said happily and mockingly: "Wu Mingche, how could this Nanqiao Prefecture be the place of your Chen State, when Chen Ji took advantage of my Qi State not to notice, led troops on his back, forcibly seized and occupied countless of my territory, and now ** actually said it so justifiably, it is really shameless!" ”

Wu Mingche sneered and shouted without giving in: "What nonsense! The land of Jianghuai has been the territory of my Southern Dynasty for hundreds of years since the Jin Dynasty, how could it have been the territory of your Qi Kingdom? If it weren't for you, the Emperor of Qi, who took advantage of the danger of others, how could the millions of people in my Chen Kingdom have lived under the oppression of Emperor Qi for decades and suffered unspeakably? Now you have to make even more inch, lead a large army to attack, provoke a war between the two countries, and destroy the lives of the people, and you will be spurned by the people of the world! ”

Happy to hear this, smiled, but the smile was very cold and full of evil. "Wu Mingche, you can speak well, and the ability to reverse black and white can be regarded as insightful. Chen Ba first plotted rebellion, usurped the throne and seized power, the world knows, even if you have a lotus flower, you can't hide it. ”

"If you Chen Guo dare to unite the Zhou State and the Turks to invade my territory, you must be prepared to bear my wrath! I originally thought that God has the virtue of a good life, and I don't want to kill more, since you don't know the current affairs, don't blame me for being ruthless! ”

"Wang Lin!"

"The minister is here!"

Wang Lin's heart sank, and he replied loudly.

"Give the order to go down and besiege this city, and no one will be allowed to enter or leave, and those who violate it will be killed! At the same time, cut off the water source, I want to see how Wu Mingche persists! ”

"Yes!"

The voice of happiness was not small, and Chen *jun at the head of the city heard it clearly, and his heart sank. Wu Mingche's brows furrowed even tighter, and the situation became more and more unfavorable for Chen Guo.

The purpose of happiness is self-evident, that is, to besiege the city, wear down the fighting spirit of Chen *jun, and trap them alive. There are 400,000 soldiers and civilians in the city, and the daily water consumption is very large, once the water source is cut off, the water in the city is tight, and after a long time, it will inevitably cause turmoil.

"The people in the city, I am the emperor of the Great Qi Empire, I don't want to embarrass you, but Wu Ming is stubborn, and he has to fight me to the death, I can only make this decision, I'm sorry! However, I assure you that as long as someone can persuade General Wu Mingche to withdraw from the army, I will never kill a single person, and even the soldiers of Chen Guo will be able to return home safely! ”

These words were shouted with true qi, and they resounded in the sky like thunder, so that most of the soldiers and civilians in the city could hear them.

For a while, there was a riot in the city's Chen * army, and there were many discussions. The successive defeats of the Zhou State, the Turks, and Huang Faqu showed the majesty of the Qi army and the terrible joy. They were already afraid, their fighting spirit was low, they didn't have much confidence in victory, and when they thought of the tragic situation of being dying of thirst, their hearts became even more panicked.

The changes in the soldiers Wu Ming was fully visible, his face was so gloomy that he could lower his face, he didn't expect that Xing Xing would be so despicable, but he was helpless. Who calls the roar of joy so loud? Back then, it was a roar that scared Xiao Maha's war horse to death, captured him alive in one fell swoop, and let Wang Lin escape from death.

"Happy, you dignified emperor, aren't you afraid of losing your identity with this despicable trick?" Wu Mingche glared angrily, and said coldly: "My Dachen soldiers are all iron-clad men, and they will definitely let you return in vain!" ”

"Say more unintentionally, we'll see the truth under our hands!" smiled happily and meaninglessly, and then walked off the high platform, not looking at Wu Mingche again.

"Your Majesty, Wu Mingche should have sent the news back to Jiankang, I'm afraid that reinforcements from Chen Guo will arrive in the next two days, we need to take precautions as soon as possible, should we send a team of elite men and horses to ambush?" Wang Lin looked at it seriously and said happily.

He smiled happily and said: "What Commander Wang said is good, this time we are going to surround the point to send reinforcements, and if Chen Shubao is not hurt or disabled, I am afraid that he will still have trouble." If you dare to join forces with the Zhou State to invade and occupy the territory of my Great Qi, I will make him pay a heavy price!" ”

Wang Lin was relieved, and said with a serious face: "Your Majesty, there are still 200,000 troops in the city of Nanqiaozhou, we can't take it lightly, do you see if we will transfer some more soldiers and horses, after all, we are going to completely besiege and blockade Nanqiaozhou, and we have to send people to ambush Chen Guo's reinforcements, the number is still a little small!" ”

"Commander Wang, don't worry, I already have a plan for this matter, you can come with me." Smiled happily and really, he turned and walked towards the depths of the barracks.

Wang Lin was slightly stunned, looking at the tall and majestic back in front of him, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart. Who would have thought that the emaciated young man back then is now the king of a country that is Megatron, and he, Wang Lin, is also rising and has been respected like never before.

Shaking his head, Wang Lin threw away the thoughts in his heart and followed the happy steps.
