Chapter 2 (11)

"Yes, why bother?" Yang Chonggui raised his hand to wipe his sweat, sighing and echoing. Ｅ┡Ω 『．

Zheng Renzhi is scheming, Zheng Ziming, Zhao Kuangyin, and Gao Huaide are both wise and brave, plus a humble Guo Rong. If the Han army wants to make a difference in Hebei, it is difficult to climb to the sky.

However, it is not easy to win a war, but it is easy to defeat a war. As long as he and Hu Yancong pretend to be deaf and dumb in the future, it won't take half a month, and the third prince Liu Hao and Zhang Yuanheng will go to their own death. It's a pity that after the next battle, I don't know how many people will be able to return to Hedong alive after the next battle?

"Don't patronize and pity others, save yourself first!" Knowing that Yang Chonggui was kind-hearted, Hu Yancong glanced back at him and admonished him earnestly, "It is a supreme honor for the eldest husband to die on the battlefield, but it is not worth it to die because of several princes." Besides, no matter what you say right now, it's wrong, and the third prince will definitely not listen to you. With that strength, it is better to think about it, in case the three princes are defeated and lost, how can our brothers keep a foothold in Hebei for the Great Han Kingdom. Otherwise, in the future, others will block Jingcheng Pass and Feihu Ridge, and the Han army will be sad to Taihang Mountain!"

"Alas—" Yang Chonggui replied with a long sigh.

In normal times, with his temperament, he refused to wait for the war to start, and first considered how to clean up the mess after the rout. And now, Hu Yancong's idea is undoubtedly the most rational response plan.

Only by keeping Liu Hanguo in two footholds on the east side of Taihang Mountain can the big guy have a chance to make a comeback. Otherwise, in case even Zhenzhou and Dingzhou were taken away by Zheng Ziming, Qianli Taihang would become a natural city wall separating Hedong and Hebei.

"Let's go, let's go, let's just have a clear conscience. I can't care so much!" Hu Yancong could see better than him, shook the reins vigorously, and rushed away, "We are the courtiers of the Liu family, not the dogs of the Liu family!"

"Alas-" Yang Chonggui sighed again, and slowly rode his horse to follow, and in an instant, the whole person seemed to be more than ten years old.

The two brothers made up their minds to protect themselves, and the rest of the days were much better. The third prince Liu Hao's greatest wish is not to be elbowed by anyone, seeing that Yang Chonggui is interested, and he is also a little afraid of Hu Yancong's arrogance, so he tries not to take the initiative to find fault with him. As a result, Liu Hanguo's power in Hebei was smoothly controlled by Liu Hao. Immediately, according to his own ideas, this son tentatively counterattacked the Zhou army from the flank.

The result was very unexpected, Guo Zhou's soldiers and horses, who had previously beaten Yang Chonggui and others to the point of only parrying, encountered the new force under the account of the three princes, and immediately showed their "original form". Not only were the outlying strongholds on the left and right flanks abandoned one by one, but soon even the main battalion could not stand the pressure and was forced to move back. In just seven days, the Han army broke through sixteen military villages, and retreated all the way to the plains near the Lushui River, before barely regaining a foothold.

"The so-called three brothers of Hebei are nothing more than that!" Liu Hao, the third prince, was proud of the spring breeze, and he felt a little fluttering, pointing at the smoke and dust left by the enemy's troops after the break with a horsewhip, and his arrogance was overflowing.

When he first decided to fight back, he was really apprehensive. After all, the name of the person, the shadow of the tree, Guo Rong, Zhao Kuangyin, Zheng Ziming, the three brothers can become famous in just two years, and they should have some real skills under their hands.

However, the fact that he was born in a series of 6 years told him that his worries were purely unnecessary. The names of the three brothers in Hebei were all blown out, and they were more vulnerable than the pig urine bubbles full of gas.

"Of course, there are no heroes at the time, so that the shaft is famous!" Zhang Yuanheng followed closely by Liu Hao's side, deliberately half a horse's head behind, and echoed with a hippie smile.

"Your Highness is mighty!" Although the rest of the generals were not as incorruptible and shameless as Zhang Yuanheng, they blatantly went to slap the third prince's ass. But he also sincerely opened his throat and praised loudly.

Now in the eyes of the big guys, although the third prince Liu Hao is a man who is babbling and fighting with soldiers, he really has the true biography of his uncle, Liu Zhiyuan, the founding ancestor of the Han Dynasty. In the past half month, several times the deployment of troops at critical moments has had a decisive effect. Especially in the recent battle, this person first personally led the team to attract the attention of Zheng Ziming and others, and then decisively sent cavalry to raid the camp of the Zhou army's grain tun, which was a stroke of genius, making many veterans in the army sigh to themselves.

And with this series of victories, Liu Ho's prestige in the army has also risen. In contrast, Yang Chonggui and Hu Yancong have gradually confirmed the notoriety of "courage without strategy". Not only did many henchmen who followed Liu Hao from Hedong, such as Yang Tong, Li Jin, Wu Xuanba, etc., disdain Yang Chonggui's on-the-spot command ability. Even some old people who were once saved from the battlefield by Yang Chonggui began to wonder if the big guy's repeated defeats before were because Yang Chonggui met Zheng Ziming, the nemesis.

After all, the friendship between Yang Chonggui and Zheng Ziming has long been well-known. Zheng Ziming's marksmanship and art of war are said to have been personally assigned by Yang Chonggui. It is not uncommon for the disciples of the church to starve to death of the master. The surnamed Zheng has thoroughly understood Yang Chonggui's ability and temperament, and then arranged the troops in a targeted manner, which will definitely achieve miraculous results.

"Your Highness, before going out today, General Yang asked me to remind you, don't chase too far, be careful that Zheng Ziming deliberately shows weakness!" There are also a few people who really don't know how to open their heads, knowing that the third prince Liu Hao doesn't like to listen, but they still catch up from the rear team and remind loudly.

"General Yang, which General Yang?" Before Liu Hao could frown, Zhang Yuanheng had already taken the first step to turn around and roar at the person like a mad dog, "Is General Yang a disciple of Li Jing, or does he have a third eye on his forehead and can see the past and the future?"

"Yes, General Yang only needs to take care of his baggage, don't make trouble for His Highness!" Liu Hao's confidant and favorite general, the cavalry commander Yang Tong also pouted and shouted loudly.

Before he came to Hebei, he fantasized in his heart that one day, he would have to compete with Yang Chonggui for who was the real Yang Invincible. Now that I see the opportunity to step the other party into a mud pit, of course, it is impossible to show mercy.

"Let General Yang save your worries, Your Highness knows how to do it!"

"There is only His Highness here, no General Yang!"

"General Yang is so capable......"

The rest of the generals who were usually close to Zhang Yuanheng also shook their heads and pouted, not taking Yang Chonggui's kind reminder as a deaf ear at all.

The situation is clear, the brine points to the tofu, and one thing drops one thing. Yang Chonggui's nemesis is Zheng Ziming, and Zheng Ziming's encounter with the third prince is also equivalent to meeting a destined nemesis. Today, everyone drove it across the Lushui River in one go, and tomorrow they can camp outside Qizhou City. The day after tomorrow, maybe you will be able to attack the city of Qizhou, and then wave your army and aim at Yedu!

Just when he was too excited to control himself, suddenly, a low dragon groan sounded in his ears. "Woo woo woo ......"

Like the north wind of the cold winter wax moon, it instantly sent the cold into everyone's hearts.

"Who's blowing the horn?" the third prince, Liu Hao, grabbed his mount sharply and looked around.

At this time, he couldn't care about laughing at Yang Chonggui for being timid and eventful. The sound of the horn just now is obviously not the melody commonly used by the soldiers and horses in Hedong. It sounds much more depressing than the horn sound that is often used by the Hedong Army, and it is also much more tragic, and even faintly carries a bit of "the wind is sluggish and the water is cold".

No one answered his words, and all that came to his ears was a panicked exclamation. Due south, east, and west, on the wilderness in three directions, tens of thousands of Zhou troops rolled in like a torrent. In an instant, all the bright colors between heaven and earth were swallowed in the dust and smoke splashed by the horse's hooves.
