Chapter Seventy-Eight: Reversal of the Situation

The attendant said: "Since he was sent back to his residence, he has not been awake, and the spies arranged outside his house have reported that he has been snoring constantly, and he must have slept soundly." ”

Another entourage also reported closely: "The Taixing army camp is the same as before, there is no movement. ”

Yang Cheng put his mind at ease, and did not return home, but directly took his relatives out of the city and went to Feilongcheng.

In April, Xue Shengying ordered Li Chong to lead 20,000 troops to attack Qingfeng Village. Although the terrain of Qingfeng Village is very dangerous, after all, the strength is weak, and after two days of strong support, Li Chong finally broke through the cottage. But before Li Chong had time to celebrate the victory that had just arrived, the army that stayed in the Taihang Mountains at night was attacked by the remaining bandits of Qingfeng Village, and a fire burned the Jizhou army into chaos, trampling on each other in the army, and countless casualties.

There were a lot of these Qingfeng Zhai bandits, and they came strangely, and Li Chong had no choice but to withdraw the army. Seeing that he was blocked in Taihang Mountain, Xue Shengying simply tore his face, and led the army to suddenly turn south to attack Yiping. Who knew that there were heavy troops guarding Yiping City, Xue Shengying could not break through the Yiping city wall for five or six days, and Yang Cheng's army was forced from the direction of Jizhou.

This is really a house leak that has been rained overnight, and the boat is late and has a head wind! Xue Shengying had no choice but to engage Yang Cheng's Qingzhou army, but he was defeated at the touch of a button, and fled into the Taihang Mountains. And Yang Cheng had already made arrangements in Taihang Mountain, and after Xue Shengying entered, he unexpectedly suffered several secret losses, and tens of thousands of troops were about to be destroyed in Taihang Mountain.

Things have progressed to this point, it is very similar to Yang Cheng's complete victory, which not only wiped out the living forces of Jizhou, but also benefited from them, not to mention the two counties that Xue Shengxian promised before borrowing troops, even the entire Jizhou will not be able to run sooner or later. What's even more clever is that Yang Cheng also got a good name, he was asked by Xue Shengxian to borrow troops to quell the rebellion, and his division became famous. Later, the killer of Xue Shengying was also because Xue Shengying attacked him Yiping first, and his injustice came first.

What made Yang Cheng even more proud was that tens of thousands of troops came to Taixing in vain, but because he detained He Ze, tens of thousands of troops stopped in the south of Qingzhou and did not dare to move, watching him seize Jizhou and have nothing to do.

This chess game seems to be within Yang Cheng's calculations, but just when it was about to end perfectly, there was a sudden change, and the Taixing army led by He Ze appeared in the south of Yiping unknowingly, and launched a fierce attack on Yiping City overnight.

Yang Cheng was frightened, so he had to give up the pursuit of Xue Shengying, who was defeated and fled, and turned back to rescue Yiping. It's a pity that Yiping was attacked by Xue Shengying's tens of thousands of troops earlier, although the city was not broken, but the city wall was already dilapidated, and how could it withstand the onslaught of He Ze's army at this moment. By the time Yang Cheng arrived outside Yiping City, He Ze had already led his army into the city, and the offensive and defensive momentum was suddenly reversed.

If it is said that it is Yang Cheng's surprise, but it is reasonable, although Yang Cheng is frustrated, he can still accept it, but what happened next, Yang Chengcheng really can't accept it.

On April 27, a Qingzhou army returned to Qingzhou City through Feilong, saying that it was ordered by Yang Cheng to return to strengthen the garrison of Qingzhou City, in case the Taixing army attacked Qingzhou. The soldiers defending the city saw that they were coming from the Flying Dragon, so they were not much defense, until the other party arrived at the city, and the general defending the city saw that everyone in the army was alive, so he became suspicious and asked him to show Yang Cheng's token before he was willing to open the city gate. While the two sides were negotiating, a hidden arrow suddenly shot from under the city wall, hitting the waistcoat of the general defending the city.

The Qingzhou army under the city also changed its face and began to attack the city. The defenders in the city were defenseless, and the main general was killed by an arrow, and in the chaos, a cavalry squad took advantage of the chaos to kill the defenders, opened the city gate, and put the outside army into the city. Qingzhou City, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the strong city that could withstand the iron cavalry of the Northern Desert was broken in this way.

Yang Cheng relied on Qingzhou City before, and there were not many defenders left in the city, and the "Qingzhou Army" that attacked quickly killed the defenders in the city. After the generals of the "Qingzhou Army" personally leveled the Qingzhou City Guard, they immediately led their men to the east of the city without stopping.

Although there was already a great chaos in the city, there was still calm inside and outside the Xiyuan, Feng Junyang stood alone outside the gate of the mansion, waiting for the sound of horses' hooves to come from the corner of the street, and the corners of his mouth were slightly curved, adding a hint of a smile. A moment later, a young general in his twenties led the team, galloped to the door, rolled down from his horse, took a few steps forward and knelt down on one knee in front of Feng Junyang, and cried: "Sheng Ying thanks the son for his grace to recreate!" ”

Feng Junyang hurriedly stretched out his hands to hold him up, and said frankly: "Sheng Ying, please get up, you and I don't need to be like this." ”

Xue Shengying's eyes were tearful, kneeling on the ground but refusing to get up, only said: "Sheng Ying mistakenly fell into the traitor's plan, and led the army to leave Jizhou in anger, and ended up with nowhere to go and no way to retreat. If it weren't for the prince, I am afraid that he would have been buried in Taihang Mountain at this moment. Now it's all up to the world's calculations, and this has a way to live, this kindness and virtue, Sheng Ying is unforgettable. ”

Feng Junyang lifted Xue Shengying up from the ground and laughed loudly: "You are the son-in-law of my father's king, how can I not try my best to help you?" Don't say anything extraordinary. At this moment, although Qingzhou City has been taken, this is Yang Cheng's lair after all, and he has to be prevented from counterattacking! ”

Xue Shengying said: "I have ordered someone to strengthen the city defense, even if Yang Cheng returns, he will not be able to enter the city!" ”

Feng Junyang shook his head with a smile and said, "If it's just defense, I'm afraid it's not enough." Yang Cheng has been working hard in Qingzhou for many years, even the people in the city are also interested in the Yang family, and it is difficult for us to hold Qingzhou with these forces. ”

Xue Shengying's face was puzzled, and asked, "What does the prince mean..."

Feng Junyang raised his head and glanced at the towering Taihang Mountains in the distance outside the city, and said softly: "Use the way of others to govern their bodies." He smiled, approached Xue Shengying and whispered a few words in his ear, Xue Shengying's face showed a look of surprise, and he couldn't help asking, "Is this method feasible?" ”

Feng Junyang said in a deep voice: "It's feasible, I will send someone to help you, if this matter is successful, Qingzhou will always be your Xue Shengying's." ”

Xue Shengying pondered for a moment, nodded heavily, and responded: "Sheng Ying obeys the arrangement of the prince!" ”

After he finished speaking, he hugged his fist with Feng Junyang and said goodbye, eager to get on the horse and lead people away, but he didn't want Feng Junyang to call him again, called him to his side, and said in his ear: "Sheng Ying must not forget that it was the bandits of Qingfeng Village who made the fraud attack Qingzhou City, and it was the bandits of Qingfeng Village who killed Yang Cheng, Sheng Ying really couldn't bear the people of Qingzhou to be killed by the mountain bandits, so he led the army into the city to help the Qingzhou army kill the mountain bandits and pacify the people." When the situation stabilizes in the future, the DPRK and China will certainly issue a commendation. ”

Xue Shengying's eyes lit up, nodded heavily, got on the horse and left in a hurry.

Feng Junyang stood at the door for a moment again, and then turned around and walked slowly towards the mansion. As soon as you enter the door of the mansion, you can see the secret guards hidden on both sides behind the door, which are already tense, only guarding against sudden changes outside. Shunping stepped forward quickly and said in a low voice: "Lord Shizi! ”

Feng Junyang paused at his feet, slowly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the inside returned to calm, and he lightly ordered: "Close the gate tightly, and don't get involved in the battle in the city." ”

Shunping obeyed the promise and took the order to go.

Chen Nian suddenly jumped out from behind and threw himself on his back, and said excitedly: "Ace, I know what you want Xue Shengying to do!" ”

Feng Junyang didn't feel it, stretched out his hand to support Chen Nian on his back, raised his eyebrows and asked her, "What are you going to do?" ”
