The rear army of Qu Rong, the deputy commander of the Chu army, did not exert much strength after the start of the engagement, suffered the least losses, and maintained the best formation, which played a big role at this time, so that the Ba people did not see that the Chu army had completely become a scattered sand.
That night, Yang Ming, the commander of the Chu army, led the remnants of the army to retreat to the Panhukou area and set up camp.
In the second half of the night, the Pakistani army sneak attacked, and the Chu army could not camp, and retreated overnight, falling into the water on the way and killing and wounding countless people.
On the second day, the Chu soldiers retreated to Longxikou.
General Longteng of Baguo, red-faced tiger Fan Yuntong set up an ambush at Longxikou, yesterday saw the army of Chu pass Longxikou, and then Zhao Yun, a famous general of Chu, led more than 1,000 troops to occupy Longxi Port, but no longer continued to move to Hu'an Mountain.
Fan Yuntong is only a few miles away from Zhaoyun, waiting left and right, and Zhaoyun is just standing still.
Fan Yuntong's heart was like a cat scratching, and he wanted to take the initiative several times, but he was persuaded by Zheng Cong, the mountain master of the Hu'an Mountain clan.
Until today, the Chu army was defeated, retreated and fled across Longxikou, Chu general Zhaoyun led the troops to evacuate immediately, Fan Yuntong and Zheng Cong quickly went out of the mountain and chased to the river, but there was no boat, seeing the Chu army fleeing in the heart of the river and the riverside on the opposite bank, and they couldn't reach it.
Seeing that the people of Chu were being chased and killed by their compatriots like water dogs, Fan Yuntong himself was useless, he was angry and scolded, and said to Zheng Cong: "I thought that the Chu army would have a strong future to sneak attack, but I didn't expect Zhao Yun to be afraid of death...... If I had known this, I wouldn't have asked for this kind of idleness. Missed a big show! ”
Zheng Cong persuaded: "The Chu army will inevitably come, there are many opportunities to kill the enemy!"
Subsequently, the Chu army retreated all the way to the Yushuikou of the Du clan, and the Ba soldiers chased after them, and the Chu soldiers were frightened.
Yang Ming, the commander of the Chu army, ordered Qu Rong to retreat to Gongtan and retreat to Yucheng himself.
Needless to say, of course, the Pakistani people wanted to take advantage of the victory to recapture Yushui Salt Spring, Gongtan, Youcheng, and even Batong, but they could not break through the defense line of the Chu army in several battles, but suffered heavy casualties and had to withdraw their troops.
A few days later, the Ba people retreated to the mouth of Longxi and below Danfu Shui, Yang Ming led a large army to return to Yicheng, leaving heavy troops to guard Yucheng, Tingziguan, Shicheng, and Xiaoguan, among which Zhaoyun guarded Yucheng and Shen Xiao guarded Shicheng;
This time the Chu army was defeated, and many generals were killed and wounded.
Deputy Marshal Qu Rong was found an opportunity by Zheng Rong, who was pretending to be a demon king, when his henchman Han Zhuang went to the bow of the ship to supervise the war, and shot him with an arrow, and cried bitterly: "No one will always remind each other from now on." "Collect his body and return it to Chudu.
The Pakistani army won a great victory, counted the losses, and there were not a few casualties. More than ten generals, including Wu Baichang, Cunjiang, Zheng Yu, Jiangzhou Xiang Changping, Yu tribe (about in present-day Daozhen, Guizhou) and other famous generals of the two divisions of the two divisions, Yu Yi, were killed in battle.
The leader of the Chang clan to which the Hu'an Mountain tribe belongs, Fan Qi, Fan Lin, Ju Mastiff, Ju Siqin and others died in battle. The injuries are countless.
The news of the victory of the Ba army spread all over the southeast of Ba, and the Yushui Ba clan, Youshui Gong clan, and Ba Tong clan escaped from death and took the opportunity to attack and harass the Chu army.
The good news spread to Tongdu and Jiangzhou, and people's hearts were a little calmer.
The king of Shu learned the news of the defeat of the Chu army from the secret envoy of Ba Dong'an, the prince of Ba Guo, and was secretly happy, and he also retreated with his words; Ba Dong'an led his troops back to the capital Jiangzhou.
Although the battle of Wujiang was won, but Yushui Yanquan could not be recovered, the three major tribes of the Yu clan, the Gong clan, and the Yuhou clan and a large area of land fell, and the lord of Ba confessed to the ancestors and ancestors, because he was seriously ill, and was whipped by the son of Badong Andai.
However, he said that Jing Ling, the supervisor of Chu, returned to Chu to state his affairs and ask for guilt, and brought Yang Ming and Qu Rong to ask for guilt.
The king of Chu read Yang Ming's letter of guilt, which meant that all the responsibility was caused by himself, and had nothing to do with Qu Rong, Zhuang Fu, Shen Xiao, Douying, Zhaoyun and other generals, and secretly nodded and praised him for daring to take responsibility.
An Lingjun, who was favored by the king of Chu, was in the palace, and the face of the king of Chu was known, and he knew what he was thinking, and said: "Yang Ming's appearance is sympathetic to the soldiers, loyal and steady, and he has received it on behalf of others, but in fact, he thinks very highly of himself. This defeat was all caused by his underestimation of the enemy. ”
It turned out that Qu Rong had many commitments and filial piety to An Lingjun, and Yang Ming lacked a string in this regard.
The head of the palace of the king of Chu took the opportunity to burn the flames: "I heard that Yang Ming once discussed the affairs of the ancestors such as King Ling in the army, and commented on the gains and losses of Yingdu." ”
No king likes to comment on people who have made mistakes, and King Xuan of Chu was furious when he heard this, and wanted to investigate the sin of Yang Ming.
Jing Ling said: "My king, Yangming has been in Yishui for many years, there is no merit, there is also hard work, and go down to Yucheng and take the salt spring of Funiu Mountain, all of which are from Yangming's plan, which is the work of thousands of generations; If you surrender to the great sin of Yangming, I am afraid that everyone will not accept it. It is advisable to add its knighthood. ”
The king of Chu scolded: "The barking sun of the Shu dog, don't give him some color, I don't know where the sun rises first!"
Subsequently, Jing Ling focused on praising Qu Rong, Zhuang Fu, Dou Ying, Zhao Yun and others for their loyalty to the King of Chu, and its main purpose was to pave the way for Qu Rong, because this time he went to the front line to supervise the army, Qu Rong was very respectful to Jing Ling, and of course the gift would not be light.
Jing Ling is good at being a man, and he doesn't want to fall into the well and frame Yangming, so his reputation is not good, and it may even cause the monarch to doubt his character, and he wants to take the opportunity to repay Qu Rong's "love".
The king of Chu understood the meaning of Jing Ling, so he ordered Yang Ming to return to the capital, add the title, reduce his military power, and promote and surrender secretly; add the position of Qu Rong to replace the post of Yang Ming, and the governors of Yishui, Yushui, and Danfushui Chu Army; Zhuang Fu is still the deputy.
Qu Rongxin was appointed, went to Yicheng to take office, and ordered to stick to Gongtan, Shicheng, Yucheng and other fortresses that must be passed by the Pakistani army's counteroffensive.
The Chu army retreated, and the Pakistani army returned.
Both armies retreated, and an area of thousands of square kilometers from the mouth of Danfu Shuilongxi to Gongtan and Yucheng became the isolation area of the two armies of Bachu, that is, the power vacuum, stragglers and robbers took the opportunity to haunt them, and the local residents lived in dire straits, and many people brought their children and daughters to wander to the Hu'an Mountain tribe or other places.
The supply problem of the Hu'an Mountain tribe was even more difficult for a while.
Hu'an Mountain's Gongzi Menglong Liushan Division Wu Baichang Zheng Cong and others guarded Longxikou, but they actually knew that the Chu army would not come again for a while, and it was a symbolic defense; Longzhu General Tutianqi, Long Fei General Wucheng, and Wu Baichangzhen remained at Panhukou.
A few days later, Tutianqi and Wucheng made a special trip to the Fan clan in Danfu Shuimaoergou to thank Fan Dang, the current No. 1 warrior of the Fan clan, for saving his life.
After meeting and giving a salute, Tutian ruler said: "Brother regardless of the previous suspicions, the warriors of the Fan clan sacrificed their lives to save him, so that the Tutian ruler is ashamed!"
Fan Dang said: "If you have the same hatred for the enemy, you don't have to say thank you." Sailors can be without fan, and they can't be without generals. ”
Tu Tian Qi took out a golden arrow and folded the arrow as an oath: "The Tu clan remembers the old enmity with the Fan clan, which is like this arrow!"
Fan Dang also thanked him.
In the evening of the same day, Fan Shen, the leader of the Fan clan, entertained Tu Tianqi and his party with the best food they could find during the war.
Leaving the Fan clan, Tu Tianqi took Wu Cheng and a few others back to the Bai Ma Ba Tu clan. In addition to returning to his hometown after the war, he also had an important matter: that is, at the behest of the head of the Tu clan, Tu Jin and his parents, he went home to discuss his marriage with Pan Furong, the lord of Sanmiao Village.
Wucheng, a native of Chu, is completely here to enjoy the mountains and rivers, although the fate of his whole family is a shocking reversal that happened in Baima Dam, and he seems to have forgotten about this matter, talking and laughing all the way.
The marriage of Pan Hibiscus and Tu Tianqi was originally urged by the brothers Tu Jin and Tu Liang several times, and once the two parties decided, there was no need to discuss. It is rare to have a quiet day in wartime, and the wedding date is set for half a month later.
auspicious days.
Sanmiao Village opened the lights, got colorful, and the wedding was held as scheduled.
During the war, special affairs, everything was simple, according to the meaning of the head of the Sanmiao Village, the leader of the Tu clan, the leader of the Tu clan, Tu Jin, did not object, the wedding was not held in the Tu clan, but in the Sanmiao Village, which was close to the Tu Tian ruler.
There was no major celebration, a thin wine was prepared, and only more than 20 important guests were invited except for more than 30 people from the Sanmiao Village and the Tu clan. The heads of the tribes did not invite any of them. If it was before, the main plate of Sanmiao Village, who liked the scenery, would rather not marry than have such a shabby wedding.
Hu'an Mountain's son Mu Menglong, Longsheng General Mu Mangzi, Longwei General Fan Yuntong, and Long Fei General Wucheng, as the most important guests, Hu'an Mountain's Dream Language, Ruyan, Gong Peach Blossom, and Yu Yulan, as the bride Pan Furong specially invited female guests, participated in the wedding.
In the past, Mrs. Ba Yongqiu liked to be lively the most, but in recent years, the mood has not been so good, and Hu Amber Yu was sick, so he did not come to the wedding, and specially selected a few precious congratulatory gifts for Yu Menglong to bring.
The company of Mrs. Ba Yongqiu and the stepsister of Pan Furong Park Xuemei did not come to attend the wedding, and at this time she was filial piety to her father Park Yancang in the Park clan. However, during the war, the Ba people were not so stubborn, and they would not fix the time of filial piety as later, let alone three years. If this is the case, there will be almost no men in Pakistan to go to war, and no women will be able to sew clothes. Park Xuemei will soon return to Hu'an Palace.
General Long Fei, Wu Cheng, was the only Chu native who was liked by all the women in the Sanmiao Village, and he seemed to be more cheerful than the bridegroom, while Gongzi Menglong kept the solemnity that he deserved on such occasions.
Wu Bai, the boat master, looks really good, so he is naturally among the invitees.
In the process of ambushing the Chu army in the big cave at the gate of the gorge this time, Xiang Zhen worked together face-to-face with his former lover Pan Ruilian, the second sister of Pan, although there was no revival of old love, but he also cooperated tacitly and said a lot of words, at least to solve the embarrassing problem of meeting again.
But for some reason, Xiang Zhen saw the very beautiful bride Pan Furong wearing a national wedding dress, and did not imagine Pan Furong's sister Pan Ruilian wearing a wedding dress, but suddenly recalled the appearance of Pu Xuemei when she got married.
Xiang Zhen suddenly discovered that Park Xuemei, whose parents and husband are no longer alive, now has only one of her closest relatives by her side, that is, her cousin, the daughter of the late Xiangyin, the first warrior of Dan Fushui, that is, Xiang Yuehong, who is the same biological mother and daughter as Park Xuemei. And Xiang Yuehong is also her only closest relative now.
Sangjin suddenly had an inexplicable feeling that Park Xuemei seemed to be a person who had the same illness as him.
There is also a person with mixed tastes in his heart, that is, Long Sheng's general Mu Mangzi.
The third sister of Sanmiaozhai, Pan Yue'er, committed suicide in the sinking lake, although she did not direct it intentionally, Mu Mangzi always felt guilty and was a little afraid to face the Pan sisters.
On the contrary, Pan Furong seemed to be more cordial to Mu Mangzi than others, and when they met, they talked and laughed. Mu Mangzi thought that it was Pan Furong's tolerance, and he didn't know that after Pan Yue'er's accident, Second Sister Man and Pan Ruilian didn't dare to tell Pan Furong about the matter between Pan Yue'er and Mu Mangzi.
The wedding ceremony was still in full swing, and General Longsheng Mu Mangzi quietly retreated, went to the lake, looked at a pool of lake water, and remembered the "moon in the water" that he joked about Pan Yue'er, but it turned out to be true.
Mu Mangzi was thinking nonsense, and a small warship of the Sanhekou Boat Division arrived, breaking his musings.
