Chapter 205: Liangzhou Raiders

Chengwu year, autumn.

Tang Niu broke through the two counties of Liuzhou and Xiacheng and regained control of Bianzhou.

Ma Qiao died of illness, and his son Ma Jian took refuge in Wei Hui, Mizhou.

Wei Hui's army broke through Mizhang County and marched to Tumen.

On the Liangzhou side, Sun Qi, with the assistance of Ning'an Taishou, successfully attacked Yiyang City.

Sun Yi had no choice but to retreat to Boping County and sent troops to attack Sun Jun.

Sun Jun was defeated, and Kangjun Taishou died in the chaos. In order to save his life, he crossed the sea and fled to Tiantai County, Hanzhou, and sought refuge from Ning Zejun.

Zhao Hong and Han Guan joined forces to break through Liao County, and Chu Bai retreated to Qingshan County.

Sima Fa led his troops to Pinggu County, Puzhou, and united with Wei Hui to attack Tumen.

Lian Zhen was attacked on all sides and summoned the remaining troops into Yunzhou to help resist the coalition forces.

Who knew that this would make the coalition offensive more fierce, and the situation was not good.

Because Ning Ze successfully extinguished the locust plague and led the people to rush for seeds, the whole territory of Jinzhou produced abundant grain.

Hanzhou successfully managed the flood, Chengzhou was smooth sailing, and the three states were full of officials.

It was when a letter came from Tiantai County, Hanzhou, saying that Sun Jun of Liangzhou was defeated by his brother and came to seek refuge.

Ning Ze was overjoyed, summoned hundreds of officials and said: "Now our army has enough food and grass, and the soldiers and armor are complete. Lian usurped the throne and attracted the princes to besiege him. Sun Jun was defeated and arrived on the rooftop for help. On this occasion of this opportunity, I just went south to seize Liangzhou and pointed my sword at Chu Bai! I want to go out in person, take advantage of the princes' time to look east, and take the Sun clan as soon as possible. ”

"The eldest brother marched south to Liangzhou, and the younger brother is willing to be the vanguard!" Dewey immediately stood up and clenched his fists and begged for his life.

"Okay!" Ning Ze smiled, "Ghost Face, Song Gao, Ding Mu!"

"Here!" the three generals immediately came out of the ranks.

"You go with me. ”

"Whoa!"

So Ning Ze's army went south by boat and quickly rushed to Hanzhou.

When he came to the rooftop, Yang Bo came out to greet him and settle the army.

When I entered the city and came to the Taishou Mansion, I saw a person hurrying over, and saw Ning Ze saluting respectfully: "Liangzhou Sun Jun pays a visit to Ning Zhonglang!"

Ning Ze stretched out his hand and smiled: "The fourth prince doesn't need to be polite!"

"Ning Zhonglang, after the death of his father, the second brother Sun Yi seized power and wanted to swallow Liangzhou. Among the brothers, only the third brother and I dared to resist. It's just that the lack of strength led to the defeat of the army, and he lost the land of Kangjun, so he could only come over and take refuge in Zhonglang. Sun Jun pleaded with a face, "I hope Zhonglang can borrow troops to help recapture the nine counties of Liangzhou, and he will take Zhonglang's horse as the leader!"

Ning Ze laughed and said: "This official came to Hanzhou precisely for this matter! The fourth prince can rest assured, our army will definitely do its best to help!"

"Thank you Zhonglang!" In fact, if you have a choice, Sun Jun doesn't want to take refuge in Liu Yuanxiang. It's just that he has no choice at the moment, he doesn't want his second brother to control the entire Liangzhou smoothly.

As soon as the words fell, Dewey couldn't wait to stand up: "Big brother, junior brother please take orders to attack Guangping, only 5,000 floating slaughter troops!"

Seeing this, Wang Wei also stood up: "If the last general has 5,000 floating troops, he can also capture Guangping!"

Since Ding Mu joined the camp, he has not made an inch, and he also came out to ask for battle: "The last general will lead 10,000 heavy armored infantry under his command, and he can also break through Guangping!"

Taishou Yang Bo was not idle, and arched his hand and said: "The generals have come from afar, and the boats and cars are tiring. It's better to hand over this first battle to the lower officials!"

Seeing that they were eager to fight, Ning Ze glanced at Song Gao, who was silent, closed his eyes and thought for a moment, and said with a smile: "Dewey!"

"Little brother is here!" Dewey was excited when he heard his name.

Several other generals were disappointed.

Ning Ze said to him: "Brother Xian's martial arts are outstanding, Guangping is too difficult for you. I order you to lead 5,000 Futu troops across the sea and make a detour to attack Shouyang County, the southernmost city in Liangzhou. Shouyang County is easy to defend and difficult to attack, you might take it?"

Dewey immediately responded with a fist: "Shouyang, it's not a problem!"

"Okay!" Ning Ze said, "Shouyang will hand it over to the virtuous brother, break it within a month, and then go north to Funing." ”

"Wow!" commanded Dewey.

Ning Ze turned to Song Gao: "Song Gao!"

"In!" Song Gao respectfully stepped out.

"I order you to follow Dewey and take charge of military rations and supplies for him!"

Song Gao was overjoyed when he heard this, this kind of rear material work is relatively safe, and it is suitable for him: "Obey orders!"

Seeing that Dewey was ordered to attack Shouyang, Wang Wei and Ding Mu rekindled their hopes.

Sure enough, Ning Ze looked at them: "Ghost face!"

"In!" Wang Wei immediately stepped out.

"Order you to lead your troops north and cross the water to attack Jiuhua County. You can contact Jinsha and Miao County and ask them to send troops to cooperate! Take Jiuhua in a limited time and go south to Changping, maybe it can be done?"

"It doesn't take a month, it can be ten days!" Wang Wei was full of confidence.

"Give you a month, don't let me down!"

"Whoa!"

"Ding Mu!"

"In!" Ding Mu hurriedly stepped forward.

"I ordered you to go to Kangjun by boat, and I also took it in a limited time of one month, can you be sure?"

"The last general is willing to make a military order!"

"Very good!" Ning Ze nodded, "You will lead your troops to attack the three county towns separately and take them as soon as possible." Yang Bo!"

"In!"

"You led the troops to attack Guangping with me, but is there a problem?"

"It's an honor for the lower officials!" replied Yang Bo happily.

After the distribution, Ning Ze turned to Sun Jun: "Fourth son, you will walk with me!"

"Whoa!"

So the troops were divided into four routes and quickly dispatched.

Sun Yi was frightened when he learned that Ning Ze's army was coming, and his troops attacked Liangzhou in four ways.

So he sent a messenger to Yiyang to see his third brother Sun Qi.

After the envoy arrived, Sun Qi asked in a cold voice, "Second brother sent you here, why did you do so?"

"The third prince!" the envoy saluted respectfully, raised his head and said, "Liangzhou is an internal affair of my grandson's family, and the brothers compete behind closed doors to show their abilities. Unexpectedly, the fourth prince attracted Ning Ze and caused the army to invade Liangzhou. Ning Ze's wolf ambition wants to seek the land of Liangzhou. This is a move to lure the wolf into the house, how can he let it go? I also ask the third prince to put aside the dispute between the brothers for the time being and fight against Ning Ze together. Driving outsiders out of Liangzhou is the top priority at the moment!"

"Lord!" Sun Qi strategist Liu Quan said, "The fourth prince's move is indeed inappropriate, if Liangzhou is obtained by Ning Ze, so that Zunquan's subordinates will not be blinded!"

Hearing this, Sun Qi thought carefully, nodded after a long time, and said, "Okay! Wait until Ning Ze is repelled before making plans. ”

So Sun Yi and Sun Qi put aside their disputes and joined forces against Ning Ze for the time being.

Dewey and Song Gao crossed the sea to Shouyang, Wang Wei went to Jiuhua, Ding Mu rushed to Kangjun, Ning Ze, Yang Bo and Sun Junbing sent Guangping, and advanced on four routes.

When he arrived in Guangping, Sun Yi had already led a large army to garrison, and Sun Qi's reinforcements had also arrived.

Compared with the other three soldiers, Ning Ze's main force is what they attach the most importance to.

The two armies lined up outside Guangping City, Sun Yi and Sun Qi stepped forward, and Ning Ze also went out with Yang Bo and Sun Jun.

When Sun Yi saw Sun Jun beside Ning Ze, he immediately scolded angrily: "Fourth, Liangzhou is our own business, how stupid are you to lure a wolf into the room?"

Sun Jun rode forward: "The second brother doesn't need to say it so nicely! If it weren't for the little brother's quick escape, he would have become a dry bone." What kind of brotherly family affairs, if you have half of the brotherly affection, you will not end there!"

Sun Qi said when he heard this: "No matter how you say it, how can you be worthy of your father when you attract outsiders into Liangzhou? He has knowledge under the spring and will not turn a blind eye!"

"Could it be that if my brothers kill each other, my father will be able to turn a blind eye?" Sun Jun said angrily.

Sun Yi and Sun Qi were speechless for a moment.

Ning Ze rode forward and shouted at the other party: "Liangzhou is the Liangzhou of Dacheng, not the Liangzhou of your Sun family! The fourth prince understands the righteousness and is loyal to the imperial court, what is wrong? My lord Liu Yuanxiang is the orthodox royal princess of Dacheng, and she is the sister of Emperor Hui today. How could they sit idly by and watch Liangzhou and others steal it and use it as private property? If they knew each other, all the two sons would abandon their weapons and surrender. This official promoted Sun Jun as the assassin of Liangzhou, and the two sons could also mix with the position of Taishou. ”

Sun Yi snorted coldly: "Who in the world doesn't know that Princess Yuanxi is just a chess piece in Ning Zhonglang's hands! If she is really loyal to Dacheng, why is she hostile to Emperor Hui?"

"False!" Ning Ze said with a smile, "Emperor Hui was at the mercy of traitors and sent troops to attack Jinzhou. Lu Chong coerced the Son of Heaven to make the princes, and his rebellion was exposed. Emperor Hui can't govern, and the court is all Lu Cong's final say. What's more, Emperor Hui ascended the throne when Liang ascended the throne, which was not in accordance with the rules. Relatively speaking, Emperor Shun is the current orthodox emperor of Dacheng. However, Lian Zhen plotted against the usurpation and killed Emperor Shun, and the situation became even more chaotic. If Emperor Hui can enter the imperial city and re-ascend the throne, it will be even more justifiable! These are not important, my lord Liu Yuanxiang's loyalty to Dacheng can be seen by heaven and earth! I advise the two sons not to misjudge the situation and to rein in the precipice as soon as possible!"

"It's useless to talk more!" Sun Yi said, "Ning Zhonglang has no right to meddle in the affairs of Liangzhou, if he doesn't withdraw from the army, don't blame our brothers for being polite!"

"I want to see how Your Excellency is not polite!" Ning Ze raised his hand and pointed forward, and the Futu Army behind him shouted in unison, and moved forward neatly.

"Kill!" Sun Yi and Sun Qi gave an order, and the soldiers and horses of Liangzhou came towards them.

The two armies clashed, and swords exchanged swords.

The Futu army was invulnerable, completely unafraid of the attack of the Liangzhou soldiers, and advanced all the way and could not be stopped.

Sun Yi and Sun Qi's combined army fought desperately, and found that they could not hurt the enemy in the slightest, so they were defeated and retreated into the city.

Ning Ze was not in a hurry to attack the city, so he set up camp outside the city.

Sun Yi said to Sun Qi: "I have long heard that Ning Ze has a floating army under him, and he is invulnerable, and I thought it was a rumor spread outside. When I saw it today, it was really the case! The swords, guns, swords, and halberds were all ineffective, how could we retreat from the enemy?"

Sun Qi was also worried: "It is said that Ning Ze can also spell, which is quite powerful." Today, without using spells, our army is already difficult to resist, and if they cast spells, I am afraid that they will be defeated faster! It is better to pretend to surrender and send messengers to relieve their hearts. Take advantage of its slackness and send troops to attack and burn down the enemy camp tonight!"

"Brilliant plan!" Sun Yi was overjoyed, and immediately summoned a messenger, wrote a fake letter of surrender, and ordered him to be sent to the Ningze camp.

In the letter of surrender, it was agreed that he would go out of the city at noon tomorrow and ask for surrender, in order to paralyze Ning Ze.

The messenger came to Ning Ze's tent and offered a table.

Ning Ze knew it in his heart, let people entertain him, and then send him out of the camp.

The envoy returned to the city and reported to Sun Yi and Sun Qi.

Knowing that Ning Ze was "in the middle of the plan", Sun Yi and Sun Qi brothers were very excited, and immediately arranged for the general to reorganize the soldiers and horses, preparing to take advantage of Ning Ze's paralysis to make a surprise attack at night and burn down the Futu army.
