Chapter 96: Wuduo Raiders
Liu Yuanxiang received a report that Ning Ze went out with the army and successfully conquered the second county of Dantong, and he was overjoyed.
Regarding Ning Ze's appointment of generals Wei Yi, Wu Han, Jiang Pei, Han Tong, and the recommended Wei Jing, he directly stamped his seal and agreed, and sent people to Dantong and the two counties to reward the meritorious generals, and at the same time summoned Ning Ze back to Huajun.
Ning Ze sent an envoy to report, after Yang Ran was defeated and retreated, he attacked Wuduo County, fought fiercely with Han Ting and Feng Yun, and when the two counties of Dantong were stable, he also took the opportunity to capture the four counties of Wuduo, Tuluhe, Ju and Ba, and could not waste the opportunity and refused to return to the city for the time being.
Li Shun, the newly recruited chief of Huajun, felt that the military advisor was pampered and arrogant, and made a suggestion to Liu Yuanxiang and asked her to write a letter and beat it.
Liu Yuanxiang did not accept the proposal, but only said that he would not accept the order of the monarch outside.
Yang Ranjun's army fought hard with Han Ting and Feng Yun for a month, using Yang Ying's strategy to deceive and lure, and prepared in advance in the upper reaches of the Wutong River, and a wave of water washed away the soldiers and horses of the two counties.
Feng Yun was captured by Yang Ran and beheaded on the spot.
Yang Ran's army pursued Han Ting, Han Ting's army was defeated, and Yang Ran captured Wuduo and had to retreat to Ba County.
Yang Ran occupied Wuduo County and immediately recruited troops.
Han Ting retreated to Ba County and sent an envoy to Ning Ze to ask for troops to attack Wuduo County together.
After a month of repairs, the two counties of Dantong have stabilized. Ning Ze immediately joined Liang Teng, with Zhao Qing, Sun Yan and other Huajun generals, and dispatched 30,000 soldiers and horses to leave Tong County and advance towards Wuduo County.
Han Ting cooperated with Jiang Yue's second son Jiang Sheng, and Cheng Lu Wen of Tuluhe County to send 50,000 troops to Wuduo County to take revenge.
When Yang Ran learned about it, he immediately asked Ji Yang Ying what should be done.
Yang Ying offered advice and asked Yang Ran to send an envoy to give a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry to Ning Ze to show goodwill and discuss an alliance. At the same time, as the assassin of Jinzhou, Lu Wen was appointed as the Taishou of Tuluhe, and the soldiers and horses of the three counties were separated.
"Then Ning Ze led his troops to seize the second county of Dantong, killed dozens of my generals, and caused me to lose tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, so hateful, let me take the initiative to sue for peace?" Yang Ran was very unhappy.
"It's just an expedient measure, stabilize Ning Ze first, clean up the soldiers and horses of the three counties, and then settle accounts with him!" Yang Ying said, "If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan!"
When Yang Ran heard this, he agreed with Yang Ying's plan and sent an envoy to Ning Ze.
The envoy came to Ning Ze's tent, gave him a thousand gold and several boxes of jewelry, and said respectfully: "The previous battle was a complete misunderstanding! Yang Envoy Jun sent a special envoy to come over to make peace, and we did not mean to offend Princess Yuanxi, and asked the military advisor to inform the princess that the two counties of Dantong were first managed by the princess, and the two sides were not enemies! If an alliance can be concluded to jointly destroy the traitors in the three counties, Yang Envoy Jun will definitely go to Huajun to meet the princess in person and obey the princess's orders!"
Ning Ze ordered someone to accept the gift, promised to form an alliance with Yang Ran, set up a banquet to entertain the envoy, and then sent him away.
Waiting for the envoy to leave, Liang Teng asked, "Why did the military advisor agree to form an alliance with Yang Ran?"
"People send so many things, say yes first. Ning Ze said with a smile, "Anyway, I didn't plan to directly participate in the battle, I originally hoped that Yang Ran would fight with the soldiers and horses of Ju, Ba, and Tuluhe until they were both defeated." β
"If Yang Ran asks us to send troops to deal with the soldiers and horses of the three counties, how will we respond?" Liang Teng asked him.
"It's very simple," Ning Ze narrowed his eyes and replied with a smile, "Our army is willing to support, but it is not easy to transport military food, let the other party prepare 100,000 stones to send over, and immediately send troops!"
"One hundred thousand stone military rations?" Liang Teng was speechless, "Isn't this a lion's big mouth?"
"That's right!"
"How can the other party agree?"
"Then it's no wonder that we can't send troops before the rations have arrived. Ning Ze said with a smile.
"What if the other party agrees?" Liang Teng thought for a while, "Is it really possible to send troops to help him attack the soldiers and horses of the three counties?"
"How is that possible? If you really have to agree, let the other party send grain and grass first. Ning Ze replied, "After receiving the grain and grass, he said that the armor was insufficient to send troops, and if he could provide 30,000 sets of armor, he would send troops immediately!"
"......" Liang Teng was speechless.
Anyway, they don't send troops, they just stay here and give them eye drops. Neither help Han Ting's side nor help Yang Ran, let both sides hang.
They beat theirs, and they are just watching the drama here.
Of course, if there is an opportunity, you can also make a decisive move.
After Yang Ran's envoy returned, he reported truthfully.
Knowing that Ning Ze agreed to form an alliance, Yang Ran was very surprised and hurriedly asked Yang Ying.
Yang Ying thought carefully: "The other party is definitely not a sincere alliance, it is just perfunctory." β
"What then?"
"Since you agree to form an alliance, it is better to send someone over and ask Ning Ze to send troops to deal with the soldiers and horses of the three counties together. Yang Ying said, "He is too much of a threat to our army in the rear." β
So Yang Ying sent an envoy to Ning Ze's tent and asked for troops to attack the soldiers and horses of the three counties.
Ning Ze opened his mouth and asked Yang Ran to prepare 100,000 stone military rations.
The envoy went back to report, and Yang Ran was so angry that he couldn't do it: "Damn! This person is clearly playing tricks on me!"
"That's true!" Yang Ying was helpless.
"What should I do then?" Yang Ran said, "Our army's military rations are still insufficient. β
"Even if he gives him military rations, it's useless," Yang Ying replied, "The other party is not really allied, just deliberately embarrassed! He just pretends to form an alliance with us, and if he finds an opportunity, he will surprise from the rear." β
"How to deal with it?" Yang Ran said worriedly, "It's really difficult to deal with the front and back attacks of the soldiers and horses of the four counties at the same time. β
After thinking about it carefully, Yang Ying said to him: "It's okay! Our army's primary goal now is to defeat the soldiers and horses of the three counties. Han Ting's resourcefulness is not high, so there is nothing to worry about. It's Ning Ze's side...... You can write a letter and send a messenger to Yuetai County, Bozhou. The platform is adjacent to Tong County, and it is too good to be greedy for money, so he only needs to promise a large amount of gold and silver to make it Chen Bing on the side of Tong County, and Ning Ze will naturally retreat. β
Yang Ran listened to Yang Ying's strategy and immediately sent an envoy to Yuetai County to ask Yu Liang Chen to the border.
Yu Liang really agreed, mobilized soldiers and horses to be stationed on the border between the platform and Tong County, and put on a posture of entering Tong County at any time.
Tong Jun received the information and hurriedly sent people to Ning Ze's tent.
When Liang Teng learned of this, he immediately said to Ning Ze: "The platform is too guarded by conscience to invade Tong County, if we lose this city, we will be surrounded before and after, and we will be cornered!"
Ning Ze didn't care, and replied with a smile: "It must be Yang Ying's strategy." If the platform Taishou crossed the border to attack Tong County without authorization, the Bozhou Assassin would not agree. What's more, the other side has no reason to send troops to other states and counties. β
"How do you deal with that?" Liang Teng asked.
"Simple!" Ning Ze thought for a moment, "Let the two counties of Dan and Tong each send two thousand soldiers and horses to the border together." The platform is not really seeking war, and the army must be withdrawn!"
"What should I do if the other party doesn't withdraw?" Liang Teng asked him.
"If they don't retreat, they will set up camp on the border, and at night the gongs and drums will sound in unison, pretending to be a surprise attack. If you don't retreat once, you will come again, you will still not retreat, you will come again, you will not retreat three times, the enemy army is tired, and you can lead troops to attack the camp. β
"Yang Ran hasn't won it yet, and it seems inappropriate to have a feud with Yuetai County?" Liang Teng asked in a low voice.
"The other side has taken the initiative to provoke the border. Ning Ze said, "Even if it starts, the reason is on our side." What's more, Bozhou is on the east side of Chizhou, and the Bozhou Assassin wants to guard against Lu Cong's annexation, and it is impossible to grudge Jinzhou, and no one wants to be attacked by the enemy. In any case, it's not us who suffer!"
"Having said that," Liang Teng said worriedly, "the army of the platform, in fact, four thousand soldiers and horses can defeat?"
"The other party is not seeking war, as long as a general uses the strategy of exhausting the army, he can win!"
"General?" Liang Teng frowned, "I want to guard against Yang Ran here, Wei Yi needs to guard Danjun, who can do it?"
This is a very real problem, there are really not many talents on the Huajun side, so we can't let the four brothers of the Liang family go, right? I'm afraid they are not competent and brave enough.
Zhao Qing, Sun Yan and others are the same, they are not fierce generals.
Facing Liang Teng's gaze, Ning Ze turned to Wang Wei who was standing behind him: "My guards have good force and can take on this position!" Ghost Face, I order you to go to the second county of Dantong to mobilize 4,000 soldiers and horses, and immediately go to the border of Tong County and Yuetai, and act according to my plan!"
"Wow!" Wang Wei ordered.
Liang Teng was a little worried: "The military advisor will send out the guards, if the enemy army attacks during the period, who can protect your safety?"
"Isn't there still Liang Taishou?" Ning Ze said with a smile, "This army division will firmly follow Taishou's side and not give the enemy a chance to take advantage of it." β
So Wang Wei immediately set off, took Ning Ze's general order, and mobilized troops and horses from Danjun and Tong County.
The words are divided into two ends.
Yang Ran's counter-plot was successful, although Lu Wen refused to appoint and blasted the envoy out of the camp, but was misunderstood by Jiang Yue's second son, Jiang Sheng.
Jiang Sheng came to Lu Wenying to ask, and the two had a quarrel because of a misunderstanding.
Jiang Sheng's irritable personality, coupled with the death of his father and brother, made him particularly extreme, and after returning to the camp, he was angry, and directly led his troops to attack Lu Wen's camp and stabbed him to death.
For a time, the soldiers and horses of Jujun and Tuluhe County were scuffled, and Han Tingjun was also involved.
The soldiers and horses of the three counties were in disarray, and there was internal strife.
Yang Ran seized the opportunity and led his troops out of the city to rush and kill, winning a big victory!
Han Ting and Jiang Sheng retreated forty miles.
Because Jiang Sheng killed LΓΌ Wen, LΓΌ Wen's deputy general LΓΌ Guang held a grudge and led his troops to attack Jiang Sheng's camp at night.
After fighting overnight, Lu Guang killed Jiang Sheng, and he was also killed by random arrows.
Jujun and Tuluhe County had a feud with the soldiers and horses, and the two sides fought repeatedly and suffered heavy losses.
Han Ting tried to persuade him many times, but to no avail.
The coalition army was dispersed, and Yang Ran led his troops to attack Han Ting.
Isolated and helpless, Han Ting fought to his death.
Yang Ran wanted to take the opportunity to capture the three counties of Ju, Ba, and Tuluhe, but the soldiers and horses of Huajun in the rear suddenly attacked Wuduo County, which frightened him to return to the city immediately to hold on.
The soldiers and horses of Huajun did not withdraw to Tong County, which made Yang Ran puzzled.
As a result, Tanmalay reported that Yuetai County was too guarded at the border between the two armies of Liang and Chen, and Ning Ze sent the ghost face general to lead 4,000 troops.
Yu Liang immediately retreated ten miles, and then returned to the border for some reason to station, facing the soldiers and horses of Huajun.
When I was asleep that night, suddenly gongs and drums sounded in unison, and the sound of killing was everywhere.
Yu Liang was frightened and went out of the camp to meet the enemy, but he did not see anyone.
Soon after I fell asleep, I heard the sound of gongs and drums and the sound of killing everywhere.
When I got up again, there was still no one to be seen.
The strategist Zhang Xu persuaded Yu Liang to withdraw from the army, but Yu Liang did not dare to send troops and did not listen.
When it came to the third watch, there were gongs and drums outside, and the sound of killing continued.
This time, Yu Liang ordered not to be ignored, but the ghost face general suddenly led his troops to kill.
Yu Liang's army was defeated and fled, more than 300 people died, 800 were captured, countless equipment and military rations were seized, and he fled back to Yuetai County in a hurry.
