Chapter 380: Sophistry

A day passed, and the Fangzheng team was just waving flags and shouting, beating drums and cheering, and the tiger and leopard riders roamed around the village from time to time, making the people inside the rebels panic. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

By the evening, the people of the rebel army were already exhausted, and those with low cultivation had already ignored the military orders and couldn't help but doze off.

"General, if this continues, even if they don't come in, we will be exhausted to death sooner or later!" said Chao Xiyang Minghao, a general of the righteous army.

Xiyang Minghao is also tired now, but he is relying on high cultivation to stand up, and his expression is serious: "Then what should I do now?"

"That Fang Zheng is resourceful, the 100,000 army of Dongzi Mountain, it can be cracked without a single soldier, this time, it must be the way of fiction and reality......"

"If we slack off once, with the speed and combat effectiveness of the Tiger and Leopard Rider, a feint attack can turn into a strong attack in an instant!"

"I have a plan!" said the general, "Fangzheng's troops were withdrawn from Dongzikou, and the reorganization of Dongzikou's troops was delayed for a few more days. ”

"The troops coming from Pingyang City are attacking lightly and urgently, and they must not have much food and grass!"

"Recently, our spies have learned that they have sent some people to buy grain at a high price in the surrounding villages, and have gathered the military rations that the army needs for a day, and they are hoarding in Jiaoyang Town at this time!"

"We can take advantage of the fact that when they disturb the enemy again at night, we can lead our troops out of the camp to take the initiative to meet them, but in private, we sent an elite army to take advantage of the chaos to bypass the front and go straight to Jiaoyang, burning their grain and grass!"

Xiyang Minghao showed surprise on his face: "What a clever plan, just act according to this plan!"

Late at night, Fang Zheng and others beat the drum again, and Xiyang Minghao led the team to take the initiative to fight. The 3,000 heavy infantry of the Lion Legion lined up in a line, and the 3,000 crossbowmen fired in the rear, and the tiger and leopard cavalry responded at any time.

Originally, the rebel army was weak, and attacked with a tired division, but the lion army waited for work, and the defense line of 6,000 people, and the 15,000 rebel army could not attack several times, and they retreated in defeat.

At this time, the generals of the Righteous Army transferred 5,000 elite soldiers from the army, including a large number of captains, commanders, and centurions, which can be said to be the strongest 5,000 people in the entire Righteous Army.

When the general led his team into the grain and grass hoarding camp outside Jiaoyang Town, he opened the curtain and found that it was full of dry wheat straw and sandbags.

At this time, the surrounding killing sound shook the sky.

Luo Zhengyang, Nie Chang, and Guan Feng each led 5,000 people to surround them from three sides. Annihilate more than 4,500 enemy troops and capture the rebel generals alive!

On the second day, the general attack of the three armies of Fangzheng, the righteous army lost 5,000 elites, and the combat power was greatly reduced again.

Fang Zheng executed Xiyang Minghao and his generals on the spot, captured 10,000 enemy soldiers, and escorted them back to the camp.

There was cheering in Pingyang City, and Guan Qiong, Li Yun, and Xia Hai set up a banquet to celebrate the victory. During the banquet, Guan Qiong asked Fang Zheng about the holy decree, and Fang Zheng smiled back: "I have a plan to deal with it!"

The next day, Fang Zheng entered the Longcheng court to resume his life.

"Xuanping Yang Hou enters the palace!!" In the high-pitched voice of the guards of the Imperial Forest Army, Fang Zheng stepped into the Dragon Soul Hall of the court.

As soon as he entered, Chen Kang stood up and pointed at Fang Zheng and scolded: "The bold Pingyang Marquis, who has high merit and self-esteem, actually disobeys the holy decree, what crime should he be guilty of?"

Fang Zheng was puzzled, looked at Long Tianxing and said: "My father ordered me to go out to fight the Flying Eagle Mercenary Regiment within fifteen days to quell the rebellion, and the son of the minister marched into Dongzi Mountain with a surprise attack three days later, and broke the enemy army, and the chaotic army broke and fled!"

Subsequently, Xiyang Minghao led the remnants to occupy Huanggu Town, and it had become a disaster, Erchen immediately led his troops to march, and received a holy decree when attacking Xiyang Minghao. ”

"Erchen conquered Xiyang Minghao's department, and immediately executed him and his generals by holy decree!"

As he spoke, he looked at Chen Kang and asked, "Why did you disobey the holy decree?"

"Hmph!" Chen Kang smiled: "What about the rebellious army of Xiyang Minghao that you executed, what about the rebellious army in Dongzikou?" Chai Xingwei, Luo Zhengyang and his subordinates are still alive and kicking in your army, isn't this disobeying the holy decree?!"

Facing Chen Kang's words, Fang Zheng looked at Chen Kang with a cold expression: "The holy decree only says that the leaders of the rebel army will be executed, and when the sons received the holy decree, Chai Xingwei, Luo Zhengyang and others have already felt the emperor's grace and abandoned the darkness to the light, and they are the people of my lion army." ”

"When you say they should be executed, are you saying that my Lion Legion is a rebel?!"

Chen Kang was choked for a while, he turned his head to look at Long Tianxing: "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Pingyang is clearly quibbling, chewing words and secretly changing concepts, this is a big crime of bullying the king!"

Long Chen also immediately stepped forward: "Father, the Holy Decree executes the rebels, when the Marquis of Pingyang received the Holy Decree, he was attacking the rebel Xiyang Minghao's department, so there is nothing wrong with executing the people of Xiyang Minghao's department." ”

Moreover, 20,000 mercenaries from Xiyang Minghao occupied Huanggu Town, killed the local garrison, and oppressed the villagers, which was an unforgivable crime, and even the defenders of Yecheng were forced to close their doors. ”

"Chai Xingwei and Luo Zhengyang, when there was chaos at the mouth of the cave, they cleaned up the mess and gathered troops to occupy the mountain, which was a move of self-preservation. ”

"After the two of them, they did not declare their allegiance to Cheng Le'an, nor did they act hostile to the empire, let alone harm the subjects of our empire, which is completely different from Xiyang Minghao's behavior!"

"Pingyang Marquis ordered Guan Feng to lead the army to attack, and immediately collected the Dongzikou army, turned around and marched to Xiyang Minghao, which is a comprehensive situation, in order to save the people of Huanggu Town in the fire and water, and to relieve Yecheng in the predicament!"

"If this is not the case, when the army of the Eastern Military Region rescues, I am afraid that not only Huanggu Town, but also several surrounding towns, and even Yecheng will fall into the hands of Xiyang Minghao, and when the time comes, there will be endless disasters!"

"Subsequently~" Long Chen's clever words made everyone speechless, and he continued: "Chai Xingwei made the enemy's strategy to fatigue the enemy, Luo Zhengyang led the team to ambush his grain robbery troops, and captured the enemy generals, helping our army win a complete victory!"

"In the conquest of Xiyang Minghao, the original soldiers of the Lion Legion and the incorporated rebel army have become one, regardless of you and me!"

At this time, for the Marquis of Pingyang, the rebels refer to the headquarters of Xiyang Minghao, and the so-called people who were incorporated in Dongzikou have long since ceased to exist, and there is only a lion army with one heart. ”

After Long Chen finished speaking, a few ministers came out and said: "What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is extremely true, as the so-called, the general will not grant the order of the foreign monarch, and the Marquis of Pingyang will not be chaotic, collect the enemy army, turn to attack the headquarters of Xiyang Minghao, and defeat the enemy, it is really a wise move!"

"Now, the army incorporated in Dongzikou has made a meritorious contribution to attacking Xiyang Minghao, and it has been integrated with the lion army, and then ordered to be executed, I am afraid it will shake the hearts of the army......"

Long Chen's words were all in front of Fang Zheng. And since the last time, Long Chen has also secretly started to move, and has attracted some courtiers, after all, there are still some people who are willing to help.

Qin Zhi and the others couldn't find words for a while, and they were all speechless.

Long Tianxing laughed: "Chen'er, as the crown prince, is thoughtful, which is a blessing for the country!" Then he looked at Fang Zheng: "Zheng'er has not lived up to his father's expectations, and now he has returned triumphantly, and he should be rewarded for his meritorious deeds!"
