Chapter 693 Tiger Prison Closed

"Your Highness, what should we do now?" Qin Qiong asked.

Chen Kefu was hesitating, asking him to believe Wang Xuanying, which was impossible. Before, it was because he had 50,000 soldiers and horses behind him, and the Wang family still had Li Mi, a big enemy, in front, so he could join forces with Wang Xuanying with confidence. Now that the situation has changed, it is a bit stupid to put the right to choose in the hands of the other party.

"What time is it now?" Chen Kefu asked.

"It's ugly now, and it's dawn in about two hours." Chen Lei replied.

According to the plan, they will launch a sneak attack on Tiger Prison Pass in the middle of the hour in an hour. Tiger Prison Pass is a Xiong Pass, although there are only 10,000 defenders left, but Chen Kefu also has a lot of pressure. Tiger Prison is not Luokou Cangcheng. The person stationed in Luokou Cangcheng is just a nobody, and the current person stationed in the Tiger Prison Pass is Chen Kefu's old acquaintance Huang Junhan.

Huang Junhan is a very legendary figure, and his ancestors have been county officials for many generations. But when he arrived at his father's generation, he was down, and by the time Huang Junhan arrived, he became a small Weicheng prison guard.

However, he is not an ordinary person, when he was Wei Jun, he was quite righteous, similar to Song Jiang in the Water Margin, not only very righteous, but also made many friends with various characters. He is a good brother with Fa Cao Zhai in the same city, and he is also a good buddy with Shan Xiongxin, a big landlord in Weicheng. Zhai Rang was convicted of harboring some friends in the rivers and lakes and was about to be beheaded, so Huang Junhan let Zhai Rang go, and persuaded him to take the opportunity to pull some brothers to do a big job.

After Zhai Rang escaped, he set up a cottage in Wagang, and Shan Xiongxin and Huang Junhan took their brothers and friends to join the gang. Wagang later mixed in Henan, Shan Xiongxin, Huang Junhan, Xu Shiji three people have the greatest credit, and their status is second only to Zhai Rang, Huang Junhan is in the Zhudang family, ranking behind Xu Shiji, the military division, ranking fourth.

When Li Mi held a Hongmen banquet, Zhai Rang was killed, and Huang Junhan, Xu Shiji, Shan Xiongxin and other Zhai Rang's iron brothers were almost served in one pot. In the end, Li Mi felt that they had good skills, so he was not willing to kill.

Li Mi was called the queen of Wei, and Huang Junhan had been guarding the Jindiguan fortress, because of his great merit and fame. Li Mijia crowned him as the governor of Shangzhu State and Hanoi, the Duke of Fenyin, and the general of the Right Marquis of Wu. This time, Li Miluokou ambushed Chen Kefu, because he was a little suspicious of Zhai Rang's old brothers, he transferred Huang Junhan to the second line of the Tiger Prison, and most of the soldiers in the Tiger Prison were transferred to Luokou, leaving only 10,000 soldiers and horses for Huang Junhan. and transferred his henchmen Niu Jinda, Xi Wei, Yang Qian'an, Li Junyi and Dou Luda to garrison the Tiger Prison together, and when leading the troops, they also secretly monitored Huang Junhan for Li Mi.

If it was just Huang Junhan guarding the tiger prison, Chen Kefu still wanted to try to persuade him to turn against the water and open the tiger prison. However, when he heard that although Huang Junhan was the general of the Tiger Prison, his subordinates had all been transferred to Luokou, and the defenders of the Tiger Prison were all led by Niu Jinda and other five people, he had already given up this plan.

If he attacks, he is confident that he can still fight down. But there will definitely be a lot of casualties in the strong attack, and Lu Shishen's 30,000 people have been guarding Luokou for a while and cannot return to Luokou. And if he goes to Luokou after attacking the Tiger Prison, how many troops will he have. If the damage is too great, then Luokou has Li Mi's army of more than 100,000 on the one hand, and Wang Xuanying's army of 100,000 on the other.

Chen Kefu had a headache, and he found himself suddenly in a very dangerous situation.

After being silent for a while, he raised his head and asked, "Have you made contact with Marshal Li of Jijun?" ”

Between Jijun and Luokou, it is still Li Mi's territory, and the two places are separated by more than 200 miles, but fortunately there is the Yellow River. As early as when Chen Kefu set off in Mengjin, he had already sent a letter to Li Jing of Ji County, asking him to launch a feint attack on the former Wagang center area of Wei under the control of Li Mi on the south bank of the Nanhe River in Ji County two days later, and send another road of soldiers and horses to attack Jindi Pass, so as to hold back the Wei army in Xingyang and cooperate with them in attacking Tiger Prison. …,

Chen Lei shook his head, "I haven't received a letter from Marshal Li yet, and the scouts sent to Jindi Pass to reconnoiter haven't come back yet." ”

Hearing this result, Chen Kefu returned to the humble old case with some disappointment, and looked at the map on the table by the dim candlelight. At the moment, the situation in the Luokou area is clearly out of control, and it is becoming more and more unfavorable for their side.

If he wanted to hit Li Mi hard as originally planned, and he had to avoid being dismantled by Wang Xuanying across the river and turning his face behind his back, the 50,000 people in his hands would be completely insufficient. Especially after Lu Shishen's 30,000 main forces remained in Cangcheng, Chen Kefu had to strengthen his troops and horses and introduce new forces in order to ensure victory over Li Mi and suppress the dangerous thoughts that Wang Xuan might have.

And now, the closest soldier and horse to Chen Kefu is Li Jing who is stationed in the enclave of Ji County. Ji County is now a complete enclave, separated from the territory of Chen Kefu in Hebei Province, and separated by half of the Qinghe River and a Wuyang County. And between the Shandong-controlled territory on the south bank of the Yellow River, there is also a Jibei County and a Yellow River. But fortunately, the power of Chen Ke's rehydrator is strong, and now the control of the Yellow River and the canal is in his hands, so that this enclave on the southwesternmost tip of Hebei is firmly in his hands.

According to Chen Kefu's original plan to pacify Wei Dao'er, Ji County would undertake to cut off the passage between Wei Dao'er and Li Mi, and would also undertake the plan to attack Li Mi from the south. Therefore, in Ji County, Li Jingqin led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses mobilized from Shandong and southeastern Hebei to garrison.

Now, Chen Kefu urgently needs the support of Li Jing's troops. As long as Li Jing's soldiers and horses can cross the Yellow River and reach the Tiger Prison. Then, Chen Kefu will be able to have enough confidence and certainty to go back and eat the 100,000 soldiers and horses that Li Jinjin knotted in Luokou with Wang Xuanying. And if the situation is optimistic, he can even directly open up and occupy the important passages along the Yellow River in one fell swoop.

However, the two counties of Xingyang County and Dongjun on the south bank of the Yellow River are the two counties that Li Mi started, and Li Mi has a very firm control over these two counties, and there are many soldiers and horses. Although Li Jing is strong, it seems a bit too wishful thinking to expect him to be able to take such a Xiongguan as Jindi Pass in just a few days. The current guard of Jindi Pass is Bing Yuanzhen, who is also the old brother of Wagang, and is a general whose status is second only to Shan Xiongxin, Xu Shiji, Huang Junhan and others.

However, like Fang Xuanzao, he later took refuge in Li Mi and became Li Mi's henchman, like Wang Bodang, Wang Dangren, Fang Xuanzao and others, after Zhai Rang's death, he gradually equaled the status of Shan Xiongxin and others, and even surpassed Shan Xiongxin and others because of Li Mi's trust.

If he couldn't take the Jindi Pass guarded by Bing Yuanzhen, Li Jing couldn't quickly mobilize troops and horses. And if he can't take the Jindi Pass and open up the passage with Jijun, Chen Kefu will have to worry at any time that he will be locked up in the Luokou area by Li Mi.

Chen Kefu had a headache and felt in a dilemma for a while.

If Li Jing can't take the Jindi Pass and open up this passage, Chen Kefu will go to the Tiger Prison again, and it will be unwise to consume the already small number of troops in vain. And at this time, he just wanted to go back to Ji County directly, because he couldn't pass through Jindi Pass with 10,000 people. Second, Lu Shishen and others are still in Luokou.

The land temple was extremely quiet, and the generals looked at Chen Kefu and frowned, and they didn't dare to say a word. Just looking at Chen Kefu's face, they understood that they were in big trouble right now. As for what the trouble is, they only vaguely know the superficial situation.

A guard ran in quickly, "Report to King Chen, the brother who went out to inquire about the situation at Jindiguan is back!" ”

Chen Kefu hurriedly got up and said loudly, "Call him in!" ”

There was a sound of footsteps, and two scouts dressed as hunters walked in, followed by several other people. When Chen Kefu saw it, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. …,

"Why are you here?"

"Why can't I come, last time you didn't say a word, just went straight to Mengjin. I have been gone for more than a month, and the last time we chased from Beijing to Jijun, you were gone in a blink of an eye. Hmph, this time we're chasing here again from Jijun, let's see where you're going. Behind the two scouts, as soon as Zhai Wushuang, who was dressed in military uniform, entered the door, he even said a series of words like a cannon. Chen Kefu was stunned.

Zhai Wushuang followed Zhang Chuchen all the way from Beijing to Ji County last time, and then Chen Kefu finally accepted her as a concubine in Ji County, and this bride has not been a few days old. Chen Kefu suddenly tricked her and ran to Mengjin with the fleet, and she went for more than a month, how could she not be angry and aggrieved.

Zhang Chuchen was also dressed in a military uniform, she stepped forward with a smile and saluted Chen Kefu, "Your Highness, don't blame Jiaojiao, the concubines have stayed in Jijun for more than a month, and they haven't seen His Highness come back, so I really miss Your Highness." happened to hear that His Royal Highness had arrived in Luoshui the day before yesterday, so the concubine proposed to come with Jiaojiao to meet him. ”

Chen Kefu wanted to scold them a few words, on this battlefield, how could the two of them come casually. However, seeing that they had traveled more than 200 miles through the enemy-occupied area, it was not easy to come here, and Chen Kefu did not say what he said. After all, it was still a troubled time at this time, and there were not so many rules.

"You guys came here, and Marshal Li Jing didn't stop you? This is his dereliction of duty, if something happens along the way, how can he explain it to this king? Chen Kefu asked with a deliberate face.

Zhang Chuchen smiled, "We didn't come here secretly, Marshal Li Jing sent troops to send us, and we are still on the task of a messenger." As he spoke, he took out a few letters from the small baggage behind him, both written by Li Jing and handed over to him the letters written to him by Fang Xuanling and other ministers left behind in Beijing.

I took Li Jing's letter first and watched it, the letter was not very long, and Chen Kefu quickly read it. Chen Kefu read this letter, and the more he read it, the happier he became, and after reading it, his face was full of joy.
