Mushan County. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Mushan County is located at the junction of Chu County and Qingliang County, to be precise, it still belongs to the Qingliang boundary, which holds the main road of Chu County, at this moment Liu Qing and others retreated again and again, the army quickly withdrew, and finally in the early hours of this morning, all the soldiers retreated to Mushan County.

Compared with Mushan County and Wohu County, it is much taller and stronger, the city is three and a half zhang high, two zhang thick, it is unique, the terrain is dangerous, only one city wall needs to be defended here, and the possibility of breaking the city is greatly reduced; With such a city, the generals rekindled their confidence.

After statistics, Liu Qing still has 95,000 troops in his hands, which is 100,000, because there are other stragglers. This includes the soldiers and horses withdrawn from Jinyang County and the three camps next to Jinyang County, as well as the soldiers and horses transferred from the county towns of Qingliang County, Wushan, and Chu County, a total of only 100,000, these 100,000 people are not elite, and the most elite is only Ying Tianfu soldiers and horses, but these are far worse than the soldiers and horses in the hands of Liu Qing and others before, in addition to the soldiers and horses of Ying Tianfu, it is those Tuntian soldiers who are brave, although it is 100,000 people, if you really want to fight in the field, I am afraid that you will not be able to resist Jiang Yiyuan's 10,000 cavalry.

In the lobby of Mushan County, Liu Qing and others gathered together.

In addition to Liu Qing, there are also Chu Jun, Zhou Yan, and deputy generals of the same rank as Zhou Yan, a total of more than a dozen people, and the rest are Sun Jian, as well as Zhang Guozhong and Li Yungang.

Zhang Guozhong and Li Yungang now have no mind to run the affairs of the family, even Qingliang has been captured, no matter how good the business is, what is the use, plus some time ago Jiang Yiyuan's cavalry killed all over Qingliang, the family is already seriously injured, and there is no way to continue it.

In fact, just a few days ago, Li Yungang thought about taking refuge in Jiang Yiyuan, because his industry in Qingliang County was too miserable, he was robbed by Fu Lin's cavalry, and then burned to ashes, almost every county is like this, if it goes on like this, then the Li family will be really ruined, but then he thought about it, now things are not so simple, his son is still in the imperial capital, and he is still working under Ling Feng, if he takes refuge in Jiang Yiyuan, then Li Yan will be beheaded directly, as the saying goes, tiger poison does not eat children, he can't bear it. And during this hesitation, news came from the front line, Liu Qing was defeated, and it was a big defeat, the 130,000 army was wiped out, and even Lu Wen and Lu Chang died, what does this news mean? It means that Qingliang County is about to change hands, even if he wants to take refuge with Jiang Yiyuan at this time, it is just the icing on the cake, and it will not be reused, just like that, Li Yungang made up his mind, or unswervingly follow Ling Feng, after all, Ling Feng is also good to him, and he will give the position of the county guard of Qingliang County, and he will not break his promise.

This is Li Yungang, and as for Zhang Guozhong, Zhang Guozhong has never had the intention of taking refuge in Jiang Yiyuan, his daughter is in the imperial capital, his son is a general under Ling Feng, Ling Feng's fortune and honor have been tied to him, he has already made up his mind, and he will follow Ling Feng in the future.

Everyone in the hall was in a bad mood, and everyone was silent.

Liu Qing looked at Sun Jian and said, "I don't know when Yu Qinglong's army will come, have you already sent the message?" ”

"It's passed."

Sun Jian shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said, "General, I don't think Yu Qinglong will come." ”

Liu Qing frowned and asked, "Why?" If the three northern counties are lost, can he stop Jiang Yiyuan's hundreds of thousands of troops in that section of the Yangtze River? ”

"It's hard to say if you can't stop it, Yu Qinglong is the governor of the navy, although his official position is lower than that of the general, but he is directly under the jurisdiction of the lord, without the lord's order, how dare he leave the Yangtze River, and we have just been defeated, and he will not come."

Sun Jian said: "What's more, we have already sent him a letter two months ago, but he has not come, let alone now." I don't think we should have too much hope for him, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, if we want to resist Jiang Yiyuan, we have to rely on ourselves. ”

"Master Sun has a point."

Zhang Guozhong said: "I have two suggestions, one is to select 20,000 more elite soldiers from the army and be responsible for garrisoning the city tower of Mushan County in case it is broken by Jiang Yiyuan; Second, hurry up to recruit soldiers to prepare for the need when there is a shortage of soldiers. As for the oil and finances needed to defend the city, my Chu County clan is willing to bear it. ”

"Okay, with Lord Zhang's strong support, I believe that I will be able to defeat Jiang Yiyuan."

Liu Qing said with a smile.

Zhang Guozhong's statement reassured Liu Qing, why did he think it was fake when he heard this, but Liu Qing thought about it carefully and understood, from another point of view, Zhang Guozhong is Ling Feng's father-in-law, how can there be his own people who don't help their own people, the Zhang family has already been linked to Ling Feng.

Li Yungang said: "Although what Lord Zhang said is reasonable, but without the order of the lord, we will recruit soldiers privately... Isn't that bad? ”

"Master Li, don't worry about it, I'll give it to the lord."

Liu Qing said: "Leave the matter of defending the city to Zhou Yan, the city tower must not be lost, and you must not be careless." As for recruiting soldiers, leave it to Lord Zhang, the newly recruited soldiers are not in battle, they must not be able to participate in the defense of the city, and they will be temporarily handed over to Chu Jun for training, so as to strive to be able to enter the battle as soon as possible. ”

After a paragraph, everything that follows is arranged.

Zhang Guozhong and others immediately agreed.

If you want to defend Mu Mountain, you have to work together, if your own people intrigue again, then nothing can be done.

.......

On this day, Ling Feng's army finally set out of camp, plus Jiang Lin's men and horses at the moment, a total of 350,000, from west to south, towards Kaiyuan County.

Among the 350,000 people, 250,000 were Jiang Lin's, and Ling Feng did not separate these people, although Jiang Lin was attached, but Jiang Lin's soldiers and horses were Jiang Lin's soldiers and horses after all, if they were forcibly separated, they were afraid that Jiang Lin would have opinions, so after thinking about it again and again, Ling Feng decided to let Jiang Lin lead the army.

This decision shocked Liao Yun and the others, who thought that Jiang Lin's army of more than 200,000 would allow them to select the elite to increase their strength, but they never thought that they all fell into the hands of Jiang Lin, so Jiang Lin's strength was too strong.

However, Liao Yun and Han Yong also knew Ling Feng's suffering, people defected to you just to have a good future, if you took all the soldiers and horses from other people, then who would want to change them?

Among all the generals, only Zhang Wu didn't say anything, the army of more than 200,000 sounds scary, but he is not greedy, he has 3,000 elites under his command, and he is already very content.

At the same time that Ling Feng's army was slowly heading south, Liu Hai, who was in Kaiyuan County, received the news, he was very entangled in his heart now, and he couldn't make up his mind, should he welcome Ling Feng? Or is it better to keep it out?

Speaking of which, there is still a little festival between him and Ling Feng, but now they are all heroes who dominate one side, and that little festival is insignificant, but now Ling Feng has hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands after all, if he has other thoughts, then how should he deal with it?

What's more, now that he is at war with Bai Fu, he can't even defeat Bai Wei, if he adds Ling Feng's enemy, it will be directly hopeless.

About five days later, Ling Feng's army finally arrived. Came to the county seat of Kaiyuan County.

Before even the camp was set up, Ling Feng and the others came directly to the city to shout.

Qin Liang rode a war horse, galloped out to the city, looked at the people on the city tower and shouted: "Listen to the people in the city, Ling Feng, the general of Tianwei, will open the door as soon as possible." ”

"If you don't open the door again, you will be punished for rebellion!"

.....

Qin Liang kept shouting and shouting, and above the city tower, there were more than a dozen generals, one of whom poked out his head and shouted: "General, it's not that I can't wait to open the door, can you retreat first, and the city gate will open itself after retreating." ”

The general's words were very clear, that is, let Ling Feng enter the city alone. (To be continued.) )
