Chapter 0176: Squeeze Away

As soon as Li Zhu's words came out, Cui Feng secretly said in his heart: It's not good, I've said it! But he still said calmly: "The reason why our army lost the battle with the Liangshan army last time was that it was defeated by the unknown enemy's situation. ”

Duan Er was stunned for a moment when he heard Wang Qing's words: "Your Highness, you ...... Are you really going to take a chestnut out of the fire for Fang Lana? ”

Wang Qing glared at Duan Er: "Didn't you understand what I said?" Do you want to disobey my commands? ”

When Wang Qing said this, Cui Feng couldn't help but shudder when he saw Duan Er hearing Wang Qing's words, he didn't expect that a white-faced Langjun who looked at the thin skin and tender meat could say cruel things, which could also make Duan Er, who was five big and three thick, tremble. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info But after thinking about it, this Wang Qing is also a hero, and if there are no thunderbolt means, he will naturally not be able to subdue these demon kings under his command.

After Cui Feng saw Duan Er kneeling down to Wang Qing to receive the order, he also wanted Wang Qing to salute and said, "The last general is here to thank His Royal Highness the King of Chu for my majesty." ”

Wang Qing looked at Cui Fenggan and laughed a few times, and said: "You don't need to say these words, this king sent troops to fight Jiangzhou today, maybe he can save your family's Fang La, or maybe he can save a powerful character who can compete with this king for the world in the future." ”

Cui Feng knew that Wang Qing's heart was still very conflicted, so he said: "If Your Majesty is defeated by the imperial court today, I don't know if Your Highness will have a chance to compete with the heroes." ”

"Okay, okay," Wang Qing waved his hand impatiently and said, "Go back quickly, help your family's Fang La use the soldiers well, and don't let this king be empty." ”

Cui Feng bowed again and said, "Then the foreign minister will retire first." ”

Just when Cui Feng disguised himself as Zheng Biao in Huaixi, helped Fang La ask for help, and asked Wang Qing to lead the army to attack Huaixi, Gongsun Sheng also came to Pukou. Since Gongsun Sheng received the order of General Zhu Biao sent by Dai Zong, he has been thinking about ways to clean up Liu Yanqing's officers and troops. According to Zhu Biao's intentions, on the premise of not meeting with the imperial court swordsmen, drive away this official army. Gongsun Sheng thought about it for seven or eight days in a row, and finally had a way, so he rushed to Pukou overnight, walked for a day and a night, and finally in the early morning of the next day, he saw the generals defending the Liangshan army in Pukou at the gate of Pukou, Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, Yue Fei, Li Zhong and Du Qian.

Gongsun Sheng's method of dealing with Liu Yanqing's officers and troops stationed in Yangzhou was the word "squeeze".

He first asked Lu Zhishen, Wu Song and Yue Fei to send men and horses to cut off all the roads leading from Yangzhou to the outside world, of course, the reason why Gongsun Sheng sent troops to cut off these roads was of course not to deal with the officials and troops in Yangzhou, but to suppress bandits. According to the villagers' report: There is a party of thieves who have fled to the vicinity of Yangzhou, attempting to attack Tokyo through the canal from Yangzhou and then into the Yellow River. In order to ensure the safety of the Shoushan area, all the officers and soldiers of the Liangshan Army sent troops to encircle and suppress this bandit army.

The grain and grass of this official army stationed in Yangzhou were completely supplied by the imperial court, and Gongsun Sheng sent all the generals to lead the army to cut off these roads, which was undoubtedly cutting off the grain routes of the official army. And Liu Yanqing's men and horses did not bring much food, and within half a month, the grain and grass of the officers and soldiers were exhausted.

Of course, out of consideration for uniting friendly troops, Gongsun Sheng still sent a hundred stone of miscellaneous grain to the official army. But 100 stone of grain is a drop in the bucket for 50,000 officers and soldiers. There must be no more food, because there are still more than 10,000 soldiers waiting to eat and drink in the Liangshan army? Then there is food for you! These are the words of Gongsun Sheng in reply to the person sent by Liu Yanqing to borrow grain.

When Liu Yanqing listened to Gongsun Sheng's words, although he was a military general, he also knew that the purpose of Liang Shanjun was to force him away. Liang Shanjun wanted to get rid of himself, which was expected, but he didn't expect Liang Shanjun to use such a method, which he didn't expect.

But Liu Yanqing had no choice, he knew that although he had cut off the canal and stuck the throat of the Liangshan army, but at the same time he was surrounded by the Liangshan army, like a lonely son hanging outside, if he dared to rashly make a move against the Liangshan army, not to mention whether he could fight or not, even if he did, he would inevitably lose the hearts of the people - people are suppressing bandits in front, and you are copying other people's back roads in the rear - although he came on the orders of Cai Jingtongguan, but when the pressure of public opinion is too great, he is very likely to become a "lonely son". "Abandoned son", then you will be finished.

Of course, Cai Jing and Tong Guan already knew the news of Liu Yanqing's trapping, and they also sent several people to Yangzhou to deliver military rations, but they were inexplicably robbed on the way. Needless to say, everyone knows who robbed them, but people have been living in this way in the past, and now although they have "turned positive", they are still doing their jobs so cleanly and neatly, leaving no traces.

In the end, only less than three months later, Liu Yanqing and his 50,000 troops left Yangzhou under the send-off of the Liangshan army, the official army left Yangzhou on the front foot, and Yue Fei led the military horse on the back foot to enter Yangzhou in the name of suppressing bandits.

Just when Gongsun Sheng successfully "squeezed" Liu Yanqing away, the city of Suzhou had also been captured by the Liangshan army -- it was not so much that Suzhou was captured by the Liangshan army, but that it was "surrounded" and occupied by the Liangshan army. Since the day Suzhou was besieged, not a single grain has been transported into Suzhou, and it has been more than half a year. Although the Liangshan army also had many difficulties in terms of grain, it could eventually be transported from Hangzhou, and if there was not enough grain from Hangzhou, it could also be transported from the old special area of Liangshan through the canal. Although Yangzhou was controlled by the official army for a period of time, Yangzhou was soon "besieged", and the official army was still too busy to take care of itself, so what about the energy to stop the Liangshan army from transporting grain?

After the Liangshan army occupied Suzhou, Duan Er under Wang Qing easily defeated the official army of Wang Yu stationed in Jiangzhou and occupied Jiangzhou in the upper reaches of Jinling. After Fang La learned that Suzhou was lost, he knew that the general trend had gone, and immediately led Bao Daoyi and tens of thousands of remnants to reopen the west gate where the Liangshan Army was weakly defended, and broke through.

At this moment, everything is in the hands of Liang Shanjun - that is to say, Zhu Biao.

Although Suzhou was "besieged" and occupied, none of Fang La's subordinates in the city escaped, except for Fang Maung and other generals, who died in battle, and more than 3,000 people including the prince Fang Tianding, Shi Bao, and Deng Yuanjue were captured alive and imprisoned in Suzhou. Zhu Biao knew that Shi Bao and Deng Yuanjue were captured, and the joys and sorrows in his heart were mixed. The good news is that Shi and Deng are the first-class generals under Fang La's command, and they can capture them without casualties, which is already the best result that Zhu Biao hoped; The worry is that these two people are deeply valued by Fang La, and Fang La must be very kind to them, and if they want to recruit them, it may be more difficult than ascending to the sky.

Since it's a pity to kill them, and you can't release them, let's lock them up first, and then talk about it, time may be able to change everything. (To be continued.) )
