Chapter 85: The Power of Mountains and Rivers
Sima Wu said: "Don't say much, the situation is unknown, you will know if you have beaten it!"
Li Jin said: "In this way, can you keep some people as reserves, just in case!"
Sima Wu was quite unimpressed, but he still let Yu You serve as the vanguard, leading 300,000 troops and 600,000 troops himself, and surrounded the Geshu army. Only 100,000 soldiers and horses were left under the leadership of Li Jin as a reserve.
At this time, Zhang Shuwen inquired about the news, was overjoyed, and discussed with Liu Chuan. sent his adjutant general Guo Kun to lead 200,000 troops to fight the enemy.
Guo Kun came to the front of the battle and scolded Sima Wu for being a puppet, Sima Wu was furious and personally led his troops to kill Guo Kong's subordinates.
Guo Kun fought with him for a while, and then retreated.
Sima Wu laughed and pursued forward. After chasing for a while, there was another group of Geshu troops, led by Yanagawa, who lay in ambush here and shot with bows and arrows. Sima Wu hurriedly sent cavalry to charge forward to kill, and those archers were cut down and retreated sharply.
Seeing this, Sima Wu felt that the combat strength of the Geshu army was weak, so he joined forces with Yu You and rushed over with all his might.
After chasing for two hours, Sima Wu saw that the road ahead was gradually muddy, and it turned out that he was almost at the edge of the Yangjiang River. The troops were exhausted from the long pursuit, so Sima Wu let them rest on the spot.
Suddenly, he heard a commotion on the Yangjiang River, and when he looked back, he saw that the waves were rolling in the upper reaches of the Yangjiang River, only rushing to here. Then with a bang, the embankment of the Yangjiang River was blown up, and countless rivers poured towards the troops.
Sima Wu was shocked, patted his horse and ran into the distance, and the troops saw the commander fleeing, so they hurriedly fled for their lives. At this time, the Geshu army surrounded from afar and shot with bows and arrows. After a while, Sima Wu's subordinates were killed, captured, and 900,000 horses were wiped out!
After a quarter of an hour, Li Jin got the news, did not dare to be careless, and hurriedly returned to his division and went to Jinling to report the news.
It turned out that Zhang Shuwen knew that the Yangjiang River was rising in the past few days, so he sent a small team to block the water flow with sacks upstream. Then he sent Guo Kun to lead the troops to defeat and attract Sima Wu's main force to pursue. Led Sima Wu's headquarters to the bank of the Yangjiang River, took off the upstream sack while he was resting, and at the same time blew up the embankment of Sima Wu's resting place, and the river flowed, drowning most of Sima Wu's headquarters. He also sent archers to shoot arrows in the distance and kill the soldiers who escaped, so as to annihilate 90,000 elite soldiers in the southern region in one fell swoop.
The news of Sima Wu's defeat reached Jinling, and the people of Jinling City were panicked.
When Sun Qingqi heard the news, he was taken aback, hesitated for a while, and then asked his family to hurry up and prepare a fast horse, and went directly to the Third Prince's Mansion.
At this time, Shangguan Yunquan was worried about this matter, and suddenly heard Sun Qingqi asking to see him, and his heart was overjoyed, and he hurriedly asked someone to invite him in.
As soon as Sun Qingqi saw Shangguan Yunqing, he immediately saluted, and Shangguan Yunqi hurriedly helped him up.
Sun Qingqi said: "At present, the front line is tight, I don't know what countermeasures His Highness has?"
Shangguan Yun said: "I have already sent someone to send a gold medal to Liu Chengzhi, so that he can return to Jinling as soon as possible to solve this crisis!"
Sun Qingqi said: "Not to mention that the second son and the Geshu army are staggered, and they are not skilled at all, even if he can come back, he can't save the fire from far water!"
Shangguan Yunqi heard this, and felt that this was indeed the case, and when he saw that he had something to say, he straightened his clothes and gave Sun Qingqi a respectful salute, Sun Qingqi hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Your Highness is such a big gift, how dare Qingqi do it!"
Shangguan Yun said: "As long as Mr. Sun can solve this crisis, for the sake of Dajin, I should do the same!"
He raised his head, his eyes were quite enthusiastic, and asked, "Mr. Sun, may it be that he has already made a plan to retreat from the enemy!"
Sun Qingqi said: "There is no strategy to retreat from the enemy, but Weichen has an old person to introduce to His Highness!"
Shangguan Yun said: "I want to have something to do with this enemy break?"
Sun Qingqi said: "This person is my first military wizard in the south of the Yangtze River, Liu Xingshen's old general, last year he and the second son confronted Mianzhou for a year, and his talent can be said to be no less than the second son!"
Shangguan Yun was overjoyed and said, "I have long heard that this person is talented, but I heard that he has gone into hiding, I don't know where Mr. Sun knows where he is currently immortal?"
Sun Qingqi said: "I heard an old man tell me that Mr. Liu is currently living in seclusion in Liuligang, Ganzhou. ”
Sun Qingqi continued: "We will gather the remnants of 400,000 troops to defend the city, and strive to delay time, I will send someone to invite Mr. Liu as soon as possible to preside over the overall situation!"
Shangguan Yun was overjoyed and said, "I rely on Mr. Sun so much!"
At this time, the news of the defeat of the Southern Regions in Wuyi had already reached Ganzhou City. Although Liu Shiingshen lived in seclusion in Liuligang, he also paid attention to current affairs from time to time. He walked unhurriedly to the house and began to pack up his clothes and belongings.
Wang Hanchen happened to come in to discuss this matter with him, and when he saw him like this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said: "Old man, in this era of war and chaos, who can really break away from the world and be independent from the world!"
Liu said: "Practicing at home is practice, but joining the WTO is not practice?"
Wang Hanchen laughed and said, "Take me like this!"
Lau said with a smile: "How can I be without you by my side?"
At this time, the horse's hooves neighed at the door, and it was obvious that a large group of men and horses had arrived. The two looked at each other and smiled, and went out to greet the guests!
Three days later, Liu Xingshen appeared in the Great Jin Army as the commander-in-chief, Wang Hanchen served as the deputy general, and Sun Qingqi served as the army.
Liu Xingshen led the remaining soldiers of the Great Jin Dynasty to confront the Geshu army in the Purple Mountain outside Jinling City.
Liu said: "How will our army win this time, and what are your good strategies!"
Sun Qingqi said: "General Liu, go to the army to fight, can we find a way to shake their military spirit first!"
Dressing Liu smiled slightly, and said, "Okay!" and immediately ordered: "Deputy General Li Jin listens to the order!"
Li Jin immediately went out of the ranks. Liu Xingshen said: "You led people to find a way to spread rumors among the Geshu army, and said that Zhang Shuwen was proud of his high merits, and he already had the heart of disobedience, and wanted to seize military power!"
The deputy general Li Jinnai was a general brought out of Karasuma Province by Shangguan Yunguan, and this time Sima Wu was defeated, he led 100,000 soldiers as a reserve, and promptly notified the defense of Jinling, which was quite capable. And when he had received the command, he went down.
At this time, another general, Sun Hao, came out and said: "The Geshu army is tired from afar, and the last general is willing to be the vanguard and mess with its formation!"
Liu Shiingshen continued: "The Geshu army is newly victorious, and its vigor is flourishing, so it is not appropriate to fight directly with it at this time." Its army is far away, and the transportation of grain and grass is a weakness, so we will wait and see what happens for the time being, and the generals will not be allowed to fight again!"
The generals said yes, and then withdrew.
In the next five days, Liu Chuan fought in front of the capital camp every day, but Liu Xingshen just ignored it. Liu Chuan had no choice, so he discussed with Zhang Shuwen to attack the Jin army in one go, but Zhang Shuwen just didn't allow it.
On the same day, there were spies in the Geshu army to report that Norton Huqi's troops under Anyang City had fallen into a bitter battle and would be defeated by Liu Chengzhi in the near future. Yanagawa was shocked and hurriedly summoned his subordinates to discuss.
