Chapter 134: The Battle of Chengzhou
Shunxi 2nd spring.
The princes of the sixteen states of Dacheng all adopted a policy of prohibiting the dissemination of propaganda documents in the Golden State, and searched and arrested intelligence agents from the Golden State.
In order to avoid the Chamber of Commerce being implicated, Ning Ze ordered each stronghold to temporarily disconnect from the Chamber of Commerce, and at the same time ordered the intelligence officers of all states and counties to hide themselves, suspend intelligence activities and choose to hibernate, and try to avoid excessive losses of the excellent intelligence officers cultivated.
Wait until the limelight has passed before restarting, and secretly conduct intelligence warfare.
Anyway, the goal of the first phase has been achieved, and through a long period of activities, the Golden State policy has spread throughout the 16 states, and during this time, the number of people who have come to the Golden State to take refuge is amazing.
Even in the originally remote Hwasa County, the city area has more than tripled, and the population has skyrocketed to 400,000, which is much more prosperous than before.
Other counties and towns also expanded during this time, and their populations skyrocketed.
The surging population is putting great pressure on finances and food.
Fortunately, Song Gao discovered the tomb of King Lu before, and the more than 300,000 gold obtained from it played a great role and successfully passed the difficult period.
When spring came, the people reclaimed barren mountains and wastelands according to the plan, planted various crops, and some of them participated in the construction of cities.
Finding that Jinzhou was becoming more and more populous and the number of troops was increasing, Lu Cong promulgated a policy and began to learn from Ningze to recruit displaced people, using various methods to attract people from other states and counties to settle in Chizhou.
Zhou Xuan did not show weakness and immediately followed.
Several other princes saw it, and they did the same.
So an alternative war for population began, and the princes of all walks of life racked their brains to attract the people of other states and counties to defect.
However, there were also maverick princes who did not follow the promulgation of similar policies, but took advantage of the passing of winter and the warm spring flowers to send troops to conquer again.
Chengzhou Assassin Wu Xing attacked Miao County again, and fought Miao Jiang fiercely with Miao County general Fang Ping.
Unexpectedly, Zheng Fu, the assassin of Hanzhou, suddenly took the opportunity to attack Minshan County in Chengzhou, so that Wu Xing couldn't care about each other.
Hanzhou soldiers and horses stormed Minshan County, and the city called for help again and again.
Wu Xing wanted to retreat to help, but was killed by Fang Ping on the way, and the army was defeated.
All the way back to Shuangtao Peak, there were only 2,000 remnants left, surrounded by the army of Miao County.
Desperate, Wu Xing jumped off the Double Peach Peak, and all his soldiers and horses surrendered.
Fang Ping took advantage of the situation to attack Danyang County in Chengzhou, and Wu Xing's general Du Yu led his troops to rush to the aid and attacked with the soldiers and horses in the city, successfully repelling Fang Ping.
Fang Ping was defeated and fled, and Du Yu wanted to lead his troops to chase after him.
The adjutant general advised him not to pursue, but Du Yu did not listen, and chased to the vicinity of Xuanshan and was attacked by Fang Ping's ambush soldiers, and was killed by an arrow.
The soldiers and horses of Miao County turned around and stormed, and the city of Danyang was broken.
Hanzhou soldiers and horses broke through Minshan County, and agreed with Yuanzhou to attack Jinsha and Dageng respectively, and divide Chengzhou equally.
So Fang Ping led his troops to attack Jinsha, and Zheng Fu led his troops to storm Dageng, wanting to carve up the four counties of Chengzhou.
Jinsha County couldn't resist it, so Liu Biao abandoned the city and led the soldiers and horses to retreat to Dageng County.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Niu Peng, the Taishou of Dageng County, gathered civil and military officials to discuss: "The two states of Yuan and Han are attacked, so that the king will die." There is only Da Geng left in the near future, how can we deal with the two armies? It is better to surrender!"
As soon as these words came out, there was a lot of discussion below.
When Liu Biao heard this, he said, "Who am I waiting for?"
"Zhengfu in Hanzhou, the counties are built near the sea, and the waterways are accessible. Niu Peng replied, "It's better to vote for it, and you can report safety." ”
"This ......," Liu Biao pondered when he heard this.
The civil and military in the tent discussed softly, and they couldn't make a decision for a while.
At this moment, a silver-armored young general outside broke in, holding a spear in his hand and with an angry face, and came in and reprimanded Niu Peng: "Yuan and Han Erzhou are the enemies of our army!
The person who came in was Du Yu's son Dewey.
"Now there are only 20,000 remnants in the city, and 100,000 troops from the Yuan and Han states surround the city, how can we take revenge?" Niu Peng said, "If we don't surrender, we will die!"
"If you are greedy for life and afraid of death, how can you be the governor of a county?" said Dewey angrily.
"Shut up!" Niu Peng got up, "You want to send yourself to death, don't even bother me to wait!
"If you want to surrender, ask me for the spear in my hand first!" Dewey shouted angrily.
"Take it!" Niu Peng saw him so rude, and immediately said angrily, "When Du Yu is here, he is also respectful to this official. You are so rude!"
Left and right immediately stepped forward to take down Dewey.
Dewey suddenly raised his spear and stabbed out, killing one person on the spot, then kicked down another person, rushed to Niu Peng quickly, stabbed him to death with a spear, turned around and shouted at the stunned civil and military officials at the scene: "Whoever surrenders again will be killed!"
"Killing a county guard, this is a felony!" Liu Biao drew his sword, "Left and right, take it down!"
The generals around him drew their swords one after another and quickly surrounded Dewey.
Dewey faced more than a dozen generals alone, not afraid at all, the spear in his hand danced like a silver snake, killing four people on the spot, and the rest were terrified.
Liu Biao was also quite shocked, shouting loudly, summoning soldiers outside the tent.
Dewey stabbed Liu Biao in the throat with a spear, killing him on the spot, shouting: "Who dares to fight?"
Seeing this, the generals at the scene retreated one after another, not daring to step forward.
Liu Biao and Niu Peng were both killed, and some of the civil officials at the scene asked with fear: "What is the intention of the little general to kill the two adults?"
Dewey replied: "Naturally, I will fight to the death with the enemy!" and those who are willing to fight with me are heroes." ”
Although Dewey was only one person and very young, he killed so many people in a row without blinking his eyes, and a terrifying momentum erupted, and the civil and military officials on the scene were very afraid.
In the face of Dewey, they did not choose to confront again, but laid down their weapons one after another.
So Dewey seized power by force, ordered an all-arms war, and asked the civil and military officials how to deal with the enemy.
Yu Song, the former adviser of Liu Biao, said: "The troops of the Yuan and Han states exceeded 100,000, five times that of our army. And the soldiers are wide and the weapons are excellent. Wu Envoy Jun led an army of 80,000 and was still invincible, but now there are only 20,000 soldiers and horses, and there is no chance of victory!"
"Throughout the ages, there have been countless victories of the weak over the strong!" said Dewey, "how can there be no chance of victory?"
"This ......," Yu Song pondered for a moment and replied, "The soldiers and horses of the Yuan and Han states came with victory, and their morale is booming. Now Da Geng County has been outflanked from front to back, there is no way to retreat, and the situation is critical. It's hard to win!"
The civil and military officials at the scene nodded in agreement, the current situation is indeed critical, and it is almost impossible to agree to the Yuan and Han coalition forces.
When Dewey saw that everyone was like this, he immediately said: "It's as difficult as climbing to the sky? When the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, I want to see how difficult it is!"
Ordered the military generals on the spot to reorganize their troops and horses, and follow them out of the city to meet the battle.
The generals were frightened in their hearts, and when they made up their minds to lose their manner, they immediately surrendered and saved their lives.
The army went out of the east gate and came to Zheng Fu's array.
Zheng Fu saw the soldiers and horses in the city rushing out, and the silver-armored young general was murderous, and immediately asked left and right: "Who is that?"
Those who knew immediately replied: "This is the son of Du Yu, named Dewey!"
Zheng Fu nodded, rode out of the battle and shouted, "But Du Yu's son?"
"Who are you?" said Dewey.
"This official is Zheng Fu, the assassin of Hanzhou! Now that the army is here, why don't you descend early?"
Dewey stepped forward and said in a cold voice: "Liu Biao and Niu Peng want to surrender, but they have been killed by me! ”
"The little general himself is difficult to protect, and he is not afraid of death?" Zheng Fu said with a smile.
"What is the fear of death?" Dewey held up the silver snake spear, "If you don't retreat, you will die here!"
"Don't be ashamed!" a general behind Zheng Fu rushed out, "Lord, let the last general capture this guy!"
"Hmm!" Zheng Fu nodded slightly.
The general immediately rode his horse and danced his sword and came to Dewey: "Boy, don't you want to be captured?"
"Coming by name!" Dewey looked at the other man.
"Feilu County Gao Xuan!"
"That's a good note! Dewey, the one who took your dog's head!"
"The kid is rampant!" Gao Xuan roared, rode his horse and galloped, raising his knife and slashing.
"Good time!" Dewey stepped forward, clamped his horse's belly, and stabbed out with both hands in his spear.
"Poof!" At the staggered time, Gao Xuan turned over and fell off his horse and was killed on the spot.
Dewey grabbed the reins, glanced back and said coldly, "But that's it!"
Zheng Fu was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Who dares to take this person down with me?"
"The last general is willing to go!" Another horse rushed out behind him, holding a golden gourd hammer in each hand, and went straight to Dewey, "The young general is here, and the young general is going to be rampant!"
Dewey slapped his horse to meet him, avoided Guan Bolu's hammer blow, and stabbed him to death with a single shot.
Behind Zheng Fu, another fast horse rushed out, it was Guan Bolu's own brother Guan Zhongyu (xue): "Return my eldest brother's life!"
Dewey met his horse, and the silver serpent spear swept away, knocking him off the warhorse.
Guan Zhongling was just about to get up, and the war horse man under Dewey's seat stood up, and his forefoot quickly fell, trampling him to death on the spot.
Seeing this situation, the two generals rushed out of the other party's town on the left and the right, and quickly headed towards Dewey.
"Tiantai County Xing Han (liang) and Gao Li Qiao (shun) are here!"
Dewey was not afraid at all, confronted the second general head-on, stabbed Xing Han to death, grabbed Qiao Xuan with his backhand and pulled it hard, threw him to the ground, and immediately a soldier stepped forward to tie it up and bring it back to the town.
Seeing this scene, Zheng Fu was shocked: "This son is so brave?"
"My lord, it's better to send generals to besiege him and capture him alive!" the strategist Cheng Sun suggested, "If you can subdue this son, why worry about the great cause?"
Zheng Fu's eyes lit up, and he immediately ordered: "The generals quickly surround this son, don't hurt him!"
After receiving the order, dozens of generals around him rushed forward and quickly surrounded Dewey.
Dewey was not afraid, and rode his horse to meet the battle with the silver snake spear in his hand, and even rushed across the vertical under the siege of enemy generals, and no one could stop him. In the blink of an eye, he killed five people in a row, and he was invincible.
Zheng Fu was frightened and hurriedly withdrew his troops to avoid losing more generals.
It seems that Dewey can only outwit and not fight.
Seeing Zheng Fu Mingjin, Dewey immediately led his troops to kill.
The Da Geng general, who was scared to death before, saw that Dewey was so brave and killed Zheng Fu to withdraw his troops, and instantly saw hope, so he followed behind him and fought hard.
Zheng Fu retreated to the camp, and Dewey immediately turned around and led his soldiers and horses to the West Gate, wanting to find Fang Ping to avenge his father's death.
