Chapter 427: Yang Zhao
After the ghost-faced general Wang Wei occupied Loushan County, he strengthened the defense of the passes around the city to appease the people.
Everything went well, and Ma Jian's side couldn't get out and send troops to recapture the city.
Under this circumstance, with the backing of Jiangzhou soldiers and horses, Loushan County is as stable as Mount Tai.
Who knew that a man named Yang Zhao suddenly appeared in the city, and secretly persuaded all the scholars in Loushan to unite and raise troops in the city.
These warriors are all powerful forces in the local area, and the gathering of private soldiers alone is a powerful force, not to mention that they all have strong thugs and servants.
Wang Wei, Wei Ji, Feng Bing and others also did not expect that these scholars invited them to a banquet on the pretext of subsidizing gold, silver, money and grain, but they suddenly became troubled, which made them unable to react.
Wei Ji's father and son, Feng Bing were killed by the sword and axe hands of the Shi clan, and Wang Wei was also attacked and stabbed in the back.
Wang Wei was a fierce general in the end, and when he was injured, he took his guards to fight his way out of the encirclement, and recruited soldiers and horses to suppress him. But he was seriously injured and couldn't support it, so he couldn't succeed.
Fortunately, the deputy general around him desperately protected him and took him to escape from Loushan County.
The soldiers and horses of the Shi clan led by Yang Zhao reoccupied the city and erected the banner of the Liang State.
His own soldiers and horses retreated to Jiangzhou, and Wang Wei's life was great, but he was seriously injured and could not fight, and he had to recuperate.
"Yang Zhao ......" After reading the military intelligence report, Ning Ze closed his eyes and thought about it.
Suddenly, a Yang Zhao appeared, disrupting all the good plans.
Could it be that Ma Jianqi is not exhausted, and even God helps him?
Seeing that Ning Ze closed his eyes and was silent after reading the military situation, after a long time, Guo Shi finally couldn't help it, and cautiously asked, "Lord Wang, what happened?"
"See for yourself!" Ning Ze threw the intelligence report on the table, his fingers pressed his eyebrows and pondered.
Guo Shi respectfully stepped forward and took a closer look at the military situation. Because the curious Wenchen military general asked later, he read out the content of the information in detail.
After listening to the information, the whole house was shocked.
General Ghost Face is Ning Ze's confidant, and he has been by his side since his debut, and he is extremely important.
Ning Ze trusted him, so he entrusted him with a heavy responsibility.
I didn't expect something big to happen this time!
This Yang Zhao almost killed the ghost-faced general, although he saved his life, he was also seriously injured and quite dangerous.
It's just that Sima Fa's army is right in front of him, and Ning Ze definitely can't go south by splitting up, unless he uses spells to conjure up another of himself.
Guo Shi looked at Ning Ze, who was silent with his eyes closed, and asked carefully for a while: "Lord Wang, it seems that something big has happened in the south, how should I deal with it?"
Hearing this, Ning Ze slowly opened his eyes and swept his gaze over Guo Shi: "The affairs in the south have nothing to do with you! So don't ask!"
"Whew!!" Guo Shi and the civil and military officials behind him bowed their heads one after another.
"Lord Wang, aren't you going south?" Wu Zhi asked.
Ning Ze glanced at him: "Didn't General Wu hear? Your task is to deal with Sima Fa with Gu! Is it that Gu is not clear enough, or is it that you are behind your ears?"
Seeing the smile on Ning Ze's face disappear, Wu Zhi chuckled in his heart.
Although the smile on Ning Ze's face is usually fake, at least he shows a harmless appearance of humans and animals, which will make people feel a little relieved. Now that his smile is gone, it gives people an invisible pressure, and facing this pressure makes people breathless!
Ning Ze would not lose his temper because of the gains and losses of a city, but the ghost-faced general Wang Wei, as the confidant general who had followed him for the longest time, was almost killed by this one named Yang Zhao. And the sudden appearance of this person ruined some of his plans, and he was naturally displeased.
Wu Zhi hurriedly retreated, not daring to say more.
Ning Ze thought for a moment, and the expression on his face gradually slowed.
His displeasure comes and goes as quickly as he goes.
Someone took the pen and ink, quickly wrote down a superstitious letter, and handed it to the scout: "Immediately send the flying pigeon to Jiangzhou, and I have to deal with Sima Fa, and all the affairs in the south will be handled by Chu Guanglu! Let her mobilize Jiangzhou soldiers and horses, it is best to be able to take Loushan County, and if she can't take it, at least ensure the stability of the borders of Jiangzhou counties." ”
"Whew!!" The scout took the secret letter and hurried out, not daring to stop for a moment.
After Ning Ze sent the secret letter, he turned to Guo Shi and the others: "Sima Fa always pays attention to the dynamics of our army, and he must be able to hear the movements. It just so happened that people were sent to spread false news, saying that something big had happened in the south, and Lone had to rush there. Our army is ready to retreat and defend the border passes. If Sima Fa sends troops to chase after him, he will be told that there will be no return!"
The news spread, and Sima Fa soon learned about it.
The generals around him were overjoyed, and they all said that this was a godsend, and they happened to pursue Ning Ze from behind.
Sima Fa pondered for a long time, shook his head and said, "A Ye Zhao suddenly appeared in the south, which probably surprised Ning Ze a little. But he's definitely not going to go south because of that, especially when I'm still here. It must have been him who deliberately released the news in order to lure our army. If we send troops to catch up, we will definitely succeed in our plan! It is better to sit back and watch the situation change, and on the whole it will be beneficial to us. ”
Sima Fa was not fooled and did not react in the face of Ning Ze's provocation.
Seeing that the other party was not fooled, Ning Ze thought secretly.
Both sides led large armies and faced off on the border, and the army consumed a terrible amount of food every day.
If you can, the two sides can continue to confront each other, but the consumption of military food is really unimaginable.
Not to mention that Huaguo is still fighting on three fronts, and the pressure is even greater.
Even with hybrid crops as a backing, this has to be considered.
It is better to quickly defeat Sima Fa, or try to force him back.
After fighting for so long, Ning Ze knew Sima Fa's ability to arrange troops, and he also knew that it was impossible to take down his troops in a short time.
Unless a large number of bombs and explosive arrows are used, the advantage of thermal weapons is forced.
The problem is that Huaguo has the current level of science and technology, and the cost of manufacturing thermal weapons is on the high side, so there is not so much stock at the moment.
To alleviate the pressure and make Sima Fa retreat, I am afraid that it can only be carried out from within the enemy.
As long as Sima Fa retreated, the other generals of the Liang State were left to their own fiddling.
Although Douzhi Sima Fa is not his opponent, it is not easy for him to win. The situation is not suitable for delay, and a victory in the middle line as soon as possible will give your side an advantage. It can also make Ouyang Chun in the north and Chu Wenxiu in the south more assured to exert all their strength.
It's a pity! If Ning Ze can go to Miliang in person, easily identify the attributes of Lu Cong's subordinate military ministers through the system function, select the most suitable one to buy it out, and slander Lu Cong behind his back, it shouldn't be difficult to drag Sima Fa's hind legs.
Fortunately, there are quite a few underground intelligence officers sent to various forces, and they have been concealing their whereabouts and secretly collecting information, which should come in handy at this moment.
Ning Ze summoned a subordinate and whispered a few words in his ear.
The subordinates nodded again and again and set off quickly.
Sima Fa put on a defensive posture, clearly wanting to fight a protracted battle with Ning Ze. He also knew that the war on the third front on Huaguo's side consumed a lot of resources and put more pressure. As long as the two sides drag, the first to retreat must be Ning Ze's side.
In particular, a Yang Zhao suddenly appeared in the south, putting more pressure on Huaguo.
The Chinese army retreated, and Sima Fa's team did not move at all, and did not pursue it.
The other party was not fooled, Ning Ze led the troops back and went to call the battle in person.
Yan Ping came out to respond instead of Sima Fa: "My family governor is slightly ill, and he will fight again another day!"
In fact, it's procrastination, I don't fight with you, I don't retreat, it's just consumption!
Of course, Ning Ze knew that Sima Fa deliberately did this, and sending troops to attack would only be calculated by him, so he only asked his subordinates to call for battle, and did not attack.
Seeing this, Sima Fa asked his subordinates to ignore it, and the two sides were deadlocked.
However, he said that after receiving Ning Ze's order, the subordinates in charge of transmitting the news hurriedly flew pigeons to pass the book, passed through the stronghold all the way, and quickly transmitted the news to the territory of Liang State.
Within a few days, the secret letter was delivered outside Miliang City, and the underground intelligence officers were ordered to act immediately.
Ning Ze's order was to buy off the military generals around Lu Cong at all costs, so that he could be separated in front of Lu Cong, so that Lu Cong believed that Sima Fa had different intentions and restrained Sima Fa's actions.
Sima Fa has enough power in the Liang State, Lu Cong let him control the overall situation, this force is like a hard bone to gnaw, it is not easy to deal with.
Although Sima Fa didn't take too much advantage in front of him, he also caused a lot of trouble for himself.
It's too time-consuming to deal with him step by step.
Under the situation of the alliance of the three forces, various accidents have caused the pace of reunification to come to a constant halt.
So Ning Ze changed his mind and found another way.
Although Sima Fa is Lu Cong's son-in-law, the situation is different from his own side.
Lu Cong was actually not satisfied with this son-in-law who was older than him, but he just needed his ability.
Weng and his son-in-law are not absolutely trusting each other, if they can succeed in separating each other, even if they can't pull down Sima Fa, as long as there is a rift between the two, there are infinite possibilities.
No matter how powerful a person is, he is afraid of dragging his feet, and history has witnessed the terrible slander.
Ning Ze is also afraid of this, fortunately, he has system functions and can easily deal with it.
Sima Fa is just an ordinary person, Zhuge Liang is so smart that he is afraid that the villain will slander Adoujin behind his back, let alone him?
Even if the separation is not successful, there is nothing to lose to yourself.
The intelligence officers who received Ning Ze's order immediately took action, they had already collected a large number of information about civil and military officials in Miliang City, and began to take advantage of the other party's weakness to make contact.
I have to say that Lu Cong's ability is still very strong. The intelligence officers tried their best to convince anyone, and even a few were almost caught.
Fortunately, he was covered by a caravan and escaped smoothly.
Wenchen didn't get any of them, but there was a more clever intelligence officer who actually hooked up with a certain eunuch in the palace of Liang State.
The eunuch was the eunuch, and he had always been a low-ranking servant of the royal family in the palace.
Because there is something missing, such people will satisfy their desires in other ways, and greed for money is the most obvious manifestation.
The eunuch bribed by the intelligence officer does not have a high status, but he has the opportunity to appear in front of Lu Cong and serve this "Emperor of Liang".
This is also the only one who has had a chance so far, and the intelligence officers have invested heavily to launch a Jinshan Yinshan offensive against this eunuch who is not satisfied in the palace of Liang State, and successfully won it.
When the eunuch got the benefit, he thought about how to use his status to achieve the task.
