This army from the east is not an enemy, but a friendly army. Looking at its big banner, the word "Qing" in front of the big fight, but it turned out that Qing Qianxing came.

Yang Wanhu was very puzzled and thought: "This Qing Qianxing should have been in Surabaya, why did he suddenly come here?" Before I came, I didn't hear the military report. Thinking of a possibility, my heart jumped, and I thought, "Could it be?" ……。 "While he was pondering, he saw a hundred and ten horsemen coming from the east.

Seeing the head of the general, silver helmet and silver armor, a horse under the crotch, a steel gun in his hand, about thirty years old, not too tall, but entrenched on the horse, quite a dragon and a tiger, energetic, tiger and tiger. Come to the front, you can see clearly, isn't it Qing Qianxing?

Yang Wanhu rode down the high ground, and the two met in the army. In the army, especially in the case of war, even in the face of the Lord, the soldiers do not have to bow down and salute, and they have their own set of military etiquette. At that moment, the two met each other.

Qing Qianxing smiled: "General Yang is attacking the city? It seems that I came at the right time. Can you help? ”

Yang Wanhu snorted and said, "It's just a small city, it could have been wiped out, so it's been delayed so far, just because of military orders." It's General Qing, didn't the order that Tai'an sent to you besiege Surabaya and protect my flanks? Why did you suddenly come here? But what has happened to the military order? ”

"It turns out that the general doesn't know yet. Last night, Zhao Zuocheng sent a new military order to the general, ordering me to immediately turn the siege into an attack, conquer Surabaya and Qufu, and then come to the aid of the general. ”

"Oh? So? ”

"Last night, Ben captured Surabaya; In the morning, conquer Qufu. The Jining Road to the east of Ningyang is now under the control of our army. There were 3,000 soldiers in the headquarters, and then Zhao Zuocheng added 3,000 Han soldiers to the general, a total of 6,000 people, except for 2,000 people left to defend the city, the rest of the 4,000 people were brought! Qing Qianxing said a few words, briefly summarized the war on the Eastern Front, took out a military document from his sleeve, handed it to Yang Wanhu immediately, and said, "This is a military order, please watch it." ”

Yang Wanhu unfolded the view, looked at it briefly, beckoned, called the copywriter, and ordered: "Read!" But he didn't know much literacy, and there were many words in the military that he didn't know. In the midst of the chaos, the front of the siege of the city, the rear of the momentum is ready to attack, the copywriter read the military text aloud.

The content of the military article is not very long, and it mainly talks about two things.

The first one, as Qing Qianxing said, made him quickly conquer Surabaya and Qufu, and led the main force to aid Yang Wanhu. Second, after meeting with Yang Wanhu, the two armies were combined into one, with Qing Qianxing as the main commander and Yang Wanhu as the deputy general, and then divided the army into two routes, and continued to besiege Ningyang all the way, striving to completely capture Ningyang in a short period of time; The other road goes straight west, enters Dongping Road, and hits Wenshang.

Wenshang is directly west of Ningyang, dozens of miles apart. If you use a triangle as an analogy, Ningyang, Wenshang and Yanzhou are just on three corners. And this triangle is approximately equilateral triangle. As a pioneer officer, Yang Wanhu has a thorough understanding of the terrain of Dongping Road and Jining Road, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the order. He was hesitant and asked, "What do you mean by wanting it?" ”

"Since Ningyang can't transfer reinforcements from Yanzhou, the enemy will be saved! Changed to Wen Shang. Qing Qianxing ordered left and right, and said, "Take the map." The two soldiers on the left and right turned over and dismounted, took out the large map of the army, and spread it on the ground. Qing Qianxing drove the horse closer, lifted the steel gun, and pointed on the map.

Yang Wanhu and more than a dozen officers gathered around to listen to his explanation.

Qing Qianxing said: "General, please see." Ningyang, Wenshang, Yanzhou, these three places just form a triangle. Ningyang is at the front, Wenshang is at the top, and Yanzhou is at the bottom. Our army attacked Ningyang in order to mobilize reinforcements from Yanzhou, but He Zongzhe refused to come out, what should I do? The only way to do this is to take a detour to the west and fight Wenshang instead. There are two benefits to playing on the bun.

"For one, there is the Jeju River at the back of Bunshang, and Dongpyeong Lake to the north. With the Jeju River and Dongpyeong Lake as barriers, after our army conquered Wenshang, there was no need to worry that the Tartars would come to help soon. Second, it is precisely because there is the Jeju River behind Wenshang and Dongping Lake on the side, if the Tatars want to gallop to Wenshang, there are only two places where military horses can move, that is, Yanzhou in the south and Jeju behind Yanzhou. In other words, if He Zongzhe of Yanzhou still refuses to move when our army attacks Wenshang, when our army captures Wenshang, it will be possible to bypass Yanzhou and take Jeju first. As long as Jeju can be successfully captured, Yanju is a dead city! ”

Why has Yanzhou become a dead city?

You can see it from the map.

Ningyang is to the east of Yanzhou, Wenshang is to the north of Yanzhou, Qufu and Surabaya are to the southeast of Yanzhou, and Jeju is to the west of Yanzhou. Now, Qufu and Surabaya have been conquered, that is to say, the defense of the southeast of Yanzhou has fallen, and then, according to this new plan of Tai'an, the two armies of Qing Qianxing and Yang Wanhu have successively captured Ningyang, Wenshang, and Jeju, and at that time, Yanzhou will be equivalent to enemies on all sides.

Isn't Yanzhou a city strong? Aren't the defenders of the city elite? Isn't it enough to store grain? It may not be easy to attack the city directly, but since it is not easy, do not attack it, and surround it. With no way out on all sides, won't this Yanzhou become a dead city? Didn't He Zongzhe become a turtle in an urn?

However, there are still places such as Zou County in the east of Yanzhou. These places are still in the hands of Tsakhan today. Even though our army defeated Bunsang and Jeju and surrounded them on all sides, in fact, they were not tightly encircled. ”

Qufu and Surabaya are in the southeast of Yanzhou, and there is still a gap in the east of Yanzhou, if Haidong acts according to this plan, He Zongzhe can completely go to Zou County and escape from the east.

"Circumference three is missing one. Vacating the east side without fighting is a standard siege technique. It's just that what besieged Yanzhou was not the camp of our army, but several cities such as Ningyang. If He Zongzhe really fled from the east, General Yang, wouldn't it be better? Without spending a single soldier, our army can win the big city of Yanzhou! ”

"The general has a point."

However, He Zongzhe can also be regarded as a famous general, and according to this general's expectations, he will definitely not escape from the east. Our army hit Ningyang, but he did not move; As long as our army goes to fight Wenshang, he will move! Troops will be sent to help immediately. Otherwise, he will not be able to afford the responsibility of losing Yanzhou! ”

"Whoever attacks the enemy will be saved."

"Exactly! Wenshang is the place where He Zongzhe must be saved. ”

Yang Wanhu looked at the map for a long time, clapped his hands, and said, "What a wonderful plan!" If our army's attack on Ningyang is compared to a secret lure, then now our army's change to Wenshang is an open force. Whether it is a secret temptation or an open coercion, in short, it is necessary to transfer He Zongzhe, a shrunken turtle, out of Yanzhou City! ”

"Since the general agrees to this plan, then we will carry it out?"

"I don't know who came up with this plan?"

"According to the herald from Tai'an, Pan Xian'er came up with it."

"Hey, Lao Pan is really a talent!" Yang Wanhu raised his head, took his eyes off the map, and said to Qing Qianxing, "Since Tai'an has this plan, and the military order has been issued, the general will naturally carry it out." It's just that I don't know, how does the general plan to distribute the military strength in this attack on Ningyang and Wenshang? ”

"The general has been besieging Ningyang for two days, and he cannot withdraw his troops in a hurry. In the opinion of this general, it is better for Ningyang to still be besieged by the general, and if it is on Ruowen, it will be captured by the general himself! What does the general think? ”

Qing Qianxing is the coach, and his distribution plan is indeed reasonable, Yang Wanhu has no objection.

It's just that he glanced in the direction of Wenshang and thought to himself, "Dog! Originally, Lao Tzu was a pioneer officer, but he never expected that after two days of beating Ningyang, He Zongzhe, a pickled man, refused to come out. Now it's okay, change Qing Qianxing to fight Wenshang. If the guy surnamed He went to the aid of Wenshang, wouldn't the pioneer officer actually be replaced by Qing Qianxing? It's a big credit, and it just slipped away so easily. Thou is unwilling! "Even if you are unwilling, you can't help it. You must know that even Deng She has a lot of respect for Qing Qianxing. He had no choice but to say: "The general is very dispatched, so he will act accordingly." ”

Qing Qianxing laughed, and thought in his heart: "'Raising soldiers for a thousand days is used for a while. 'After fighting in Liaodong and Liaoxi for more than a year, the emperor is far away, and no matter how great the credit is, it is not as good as the generals of Yidu. It's really a mistake, He Zongzhe is very cunning, but he was given the position of a vanguard officer by the general! In this battle, we must fight it well and show the prestige of our army. I can't say it, as long as I can make outstanding military achievements, and then ask the lord to open a special office for the Li army, maybe there will be eight points. ”

But until now, he is still thinking about opening a special office for the Goryeo Army! Qing Qianxing not only has military talent, but also has some political vision. It is not only a military issue to create a separate office for the Goryeo army, not only the military status of the Goryeo army will be improved, but most importantly, the political status of the Goryeo army, and even the political status of all Koreans, will be significantly improved as a result.

To make a simple analogy, just like the Mengyuan court, the first-class Mongols, the second-class Semu people, and the army, the same is true, the most elite Tanma Red Army is all Mongols and Semu people. For example, at present, the most elite army in Haidong is all Han Chinese, and if a Goryeo army can suddenly be among them, it will have a profound impact on the political situation in Haidong.

Just imagine, last night Qing Qianxing only got the new military order of Tai'an, and in one night and half a day, he even conquered two cities, although Surabaya and Qufu are not big cities, but after all, it is not easy. How fast! Why is it so fast? It's all because he's holding his breath! Even the Li army under his command was all holding their breath. Everyone holds their breath, and their fighting spirit is high, and as soon as their fighting spirit is high, they will be able to conquer the city quickly.

The two of them said a few words and implemented Tai'an's military orders.

Qing Qianxing said: "The military situation is as urgent as fire. There are still dozens of miles to Wenshang. General Yang, the general didn't stay long, so he took his leave. Please remember that you must not be careless in attacking Ningyang. Tonight, at night, our army will be able to reach Wenshang, and tomorrow at noon, we will be able to launch an offensive. If the plan goes well, at most two days, Yanzhou's reinforcements will be out of the city. In other words, the general still has two days for you to completely conquer Ningyang. ”

"General rest assured, Wan Hu will not delay the military plane."

When Qing Qianxing came, his army did not set up camp, so he temporarily stopped in the east of Ningyang City. At this time, he discussed with Yang Wanhu properly, he made a military salute, that is, turned the horse's head, took the guards and soldiers, and left in a hurry.

Yang Wanhu watched him go away, only to feel mixed feelings, and he was angry and excited. The anger is to give up the position of the pioneer officer, and the excitement is that if this plan is sold, it is obvious that there will be a big war imminently. He settled down, waved his horsewhip, slammed the void twice, and gave a loud order, saying, "Change the feint attack into a real attack!" Tell me the order to send the reserves out of the camp, and by tomorrow morning at the latest, I will be on the top of the city! ”

Not only did the Gaoli soldiers of the Qingqianxing Department hold their breath, but they were stimulated, and the generals of Yang Wanhu's department were also holding their breath. In the middle of the night, Qing Qianxing fell into two cities in a row! As if they were not stopping, they were about to pounce on the third city. When did the Goryeo stick be so good at fighting?

I think that back then, when I attacked South Goryeo, the first person to attack Wang Jing was none other than Yang Wanhu's headquarters! How can it be compared to the Goryeo army? Qing Qianxing gave Yang Wanhu two days to capture Ningyang, and Yang Wanhu secretly decided that he would take Ningyang City in half a day and one night at most. After two days of fighting Ningyang, the city wall of Ningyang has collapsed, although the garrison in the city is known as the elite "Mao Hulu Army" of Chahan, but Yang Wanhu is actually sure that he can take down the city before tomorrow morning.

At the sound of an order, all three armies moved. The siege battle ahead became more and more tragic.

Before Qing Qianxing left, perhaps to show off the prestige of the Goryeo army in his headquarters, or to help Yang Wanhu, he did not lead the team to leave directly, but divided into three parts, circled around the city, and put on a siege posture outside the city wall in the north, and did enough to threaten, and then left.

In charge of the northern city wall is Fang Mihan, although he is young, and although he has never been strong and brave, but his mood at this time is the same as Yang Wanhu. Standing on the high watchtower, watching the Goryeo army leave proudly, he smacked heavily on the ground, beckoned to the herald, and ordered: "Go to the general's camp quickly and ask if you want our troops to start attacking the city too!" Or to assist in the division of troops? ”

Yang Wanhu only replied to him: "Give Lao Tzu a good look at the north, even if you do a great job!" ”

Fang Mihan has been under Yang Wanhu for a long time, and he knows his temper very well, and when he heard this tone, he immediately understood, and said to the general: "The general is angry. ”

The puppet was furious, and the blood flowed five steps. The general was furious, and the country was slaughtered. didn't wait for the next morning, and at the third watch that night, the city of Ningyang fell. Because Tai'an's focus on using the army this time was to mobilize He Zongzhe out of the city, he did not strictly guard the intelligence. One after another, from the east, south, and north, like the tide, at the most urgent time, almost every quarter of an hour, poured into the city of Yanzhou.

"Surabaya City is broken! The defenders lost six hundred and fell four hundred. ”

"Qufu City is broken! The defenders lost three hundred, and five hundred. ”

"Ningyang City is broken! The whole army was destroyed. ”

"When Wenshang encounters the enemy, looking at its banner, it is the Qingqianxing Goryeo Army that trapped me in Surabaya and Qufu!"

A series of dazzling military reports, even the most dull person can see that Haidong has obviously changed his previous strategy abruptly. He Zongzhe was in the candle room, looking at the map, gasping, and muttering: "Aggression is like fire!" Trapping Surabaya, breaking Qufu, taking Ningyang, and besieging Wenshang, Haidong wants to ,......, Haidong wants to attack me. ”

Haidong's attack on Yanzhou must be saved, will Yanzhou follow Haidong's wishes and send troops to aid Wenshang? He Zongzhe couldn't sleep all night.
