Chapter 247: Jiangxi Battle
Cheng Wan's army entered the Huairou border, and the strategist Ding Gu said: "The two counties of Wolf Mountain and Huairou are bounded by Qiuyuan, and they should be taken here to cut off the back road, so that the Ning Ze army is powerless to support, and it is easy to capture Wolf Mountain County!"
Cheng Wan listened to Ding Gu's suggestion and went to Qiuyuan.
When he arrived at the boundary of the Autumn Plains, he suddenly saw a large army killing him head-on.
It turned out that Dewey and Wang Wei led the army to be stationed here, waiting for the rabbit.
When the two armies met, Dewey stepped forward, pointed the silver snake spear in his hand at Cheng Wan and said with a smile: "Brother is expected to make Cheng envoy Jun come to take Qiuyuan, and ordered me to wait here!
Unexpectedly, the other party waited here in advance, and Cheng Wan shouted in front of the array: "You will wait for the army to raise troops in Jiangzhou and seize my city, and you must inform the imperial court!"
Dewey said with a smile: "Cheng makes it unfavorable for the king to defend the land, and he has a negative grace! The thieves occupy the city and endanger the people." My brother thought that he was a minister in the same dynasty and couldn't bear to look at it, so he sent troops to suppress the thieves and temporarily guarded this place for the imperial court. ”
"Nonsense!" Cheng Wan said angrily, "Ning Ze's wolf ambition is known to the world!"
"Cheng Zhijun doesn't know what to do," said Dewey, "my brother is kind enough to suppress thieves and protect the city, but he is said to be so unbearable. ”
"Don't talk nonsense!" Cheng Wan said angrily, "This official is the imperial court to appoint the Jiangzhou Assassin History, and you will lose your morality when you occupy my city! Quickly withdraw the troops and return the city!"
"Cheng Yuanjun is unable to defend the land, and the two counties of Huairou and Wolf Mountain are still rampant. Dewey replied, "My brother feared that the city would fall into the hands of thieves again, so he ordered us to protect the people." After the thieves are gone, the city will be returned. It is better to return to Nanhai County and wait for good news!"
"Wait for the traitor, don't turn black and white upside down!" Cheng Wan said angrily, "If you don't retreat, don't blame the official for not being emotional!"
"Cheng envoy should not be ashamed," said Dewey, "everyone is committed to the great achievement of life, regardless of each other. Now is the key, if the king sends troops to attack his colleagues regardless of the situation, it will ruin the plan to suppress the thieves! In order to prevent the plan of suppressing the thieves from being destroyed, we will have to fight back for the sake of the interests of the imperial court!"
Cheng Wan almost died of anger, obviously you occupy my city, you are so reasonable, it seems to be very reasonable, it is simply teasing in person. Ordered the general Liu Man to lead his troops to charge and take Dewey.
Liu Man led his troops into battle and shouted: "Come and take your life!"
Dewey was about to go into battle, when the ghost-faced general Wang Wei rushed out and led his troops to meet him.
The two armies met, Liu Man fought Wang Wei, and the soldiers on both sides fought.
After ten rounds of fighting, Wang Wei slashed Liu Man off the horse.
Dewey led his troops to charge, and Cheng Wan personally led a large army to meet them.
The armies of the two sides fought fiercely, the Futu army rushed all the way, and Cheng Wan's army was defeated, and he hurriedly retreated thirty miles.
After losing the first battle and folding the general Liu Man, Cheng Wan asked: "Dewey and Ghost Face are all brave generals under Ning Ze's account, and no one can stop them." The Futu army is invulnerable, who of you can break it?"
"Lord!" the general Yan Kuan stepped out of the ranks, clenching his fists and asking for his life, "The last general will lead his troops to attack the enemy camp tonight, attack it with fire, and he will win a complete victory!"
That night, Yan Kuan led his elite soldiers to the Autumn Plains, with people and horses picking bells, and touching the enemy camp by night.
Came to the outside of the camp and launched a surprise attack, and the whole camp was in flames.
Yan Kuan led his army into the camp, only to find that it was empty.
"Oops!" he quickly reacted and hurriedly ordered loudly, "I've been tricked, get out of here!"
As soon as the words fell, I heard the gongs and drums in my ears, and countless soldiers and horses were killed in all directions.
Dewey and Wang Wei were killed together, and Yan Kuan fled in a hurry, losing his troops and fleeing back in embarrassment.
When he arrived at the camp, there were only a few guards left, and when he saw Cheng Wan kneeling on the ground and pleading guilty: "The last general has fallen into the enemy's scheme, please punish the king!"
Losing thousands of elites, Cheng Wan was very distressed. did not blame Yan Kuan, but helped him up: "This battle is not the general's fault." ”
The night attack failed with heavy losses.
Cheng Wan convened his subordinates to discuss: "The enemy army has already been on guard, do you have a plan?"
"Lord Lord!" said the strategist Ding Gu, "Ning Ze is not here, Dewey and Ghost Face are all martial artists. Both of them are generals under Ning Ze, and they must have the heart to win. If the two of them are arrogant people, once they fight among themselves, they can take advantage of the situation to attack them!"
"How to plan?" Cheng Wan asked busily.
Ding Gu replied: "If you meet Dewey in the battle tomorrow, you will retreat, and if you meet the ghost-faced general, you can praise in front of the battle, and you will not be an enemy." Dewey must be suspicious!"
The next day, Cheng Wan really sent troops according to Ding Gu's strategy. When Dewey led his troops to kill, he resisted for a while and immediately retreated. When he met Wang Wei, he shouted in front of the battle: "This official has heard the name of the ghost-faced general, and I heard that the general started in Huajun with the Marquis of Danyang, and his military achievements are impressive, and he is quite valued by the Marquis of Danyang." This officer respects the general, does not want to be the enemy of the general, and retreats today. ”
Knowing what Cheng Wan said when he met Wang Wei and his initiative to withdraw from the army, Dewey was really suspicious and called Wang Wei to the camp to question the matter.
Strategist Qian Chun said: "General Du, this is a strategy for the enemy to divide the enemy! General Ghost-faced followed the Hou Ye to the east and west, and he was loyal. Cheng Wan's actions today are to deliberately make the general suspicious and make our army infighting. ”
Wang Wei also said: "Cheng Wan is doing a faction today, and the last general doesn't know. ”
After Qian Chun's persuasion, Dewey understood that it was Cheng Wan's plan, so he asked: "Cheng Wan designed a discord, how can we deal with it?"
Qian Chun's brother Qian Shi interjected: "It's better to plan the plan!"
"Will it be calculated?" everyone looked at Qian Shi.
Qian Shi said: "The two generals can pretend to be a trick to make Cheng Wan mistakenly think that he has succeeded. Just like that, discipline him and never go back!"
The next time, Cheng Wan got the news that Dewey and Ghostface attacked each other for some reason, and then each led their troops to camp in different directions, completely dispersed.
Ding Gu was overjoyed: "The enemy will be in chaos, and the opportunity must not be lost!
Cheng Wan immediately led his army to attack Dewey.
Killed to Dewey's camp, suddenly Wang Wei came out from the rear and outflanked Dewey.
Cheng Wan's army was defeated, losing several generals and 3,000 soldiers, and fled in a hurry.
Dewey and Wang Wei did not chase and retreated to Qiuyuan.
Cheng Wan was defeated in successive battles, retreated to the camp and said to everyone: "Ning Ze has not yet arrived, just the two generals of Dewey and Ghost Face are so difficult, how can it be good?"
Cai Qun suggested: "It is better to send an envoy to Eagle Peak County and invite Zhao Hong to send troops to attack Huairou from the flank." Zhao Chen and the envoy are allied, Zhao Hong will definitely come!"
Cheng Wan sent an envoy to Eagle Peak County and saw Zhao Hong asking for help in person.
Zhao Hong really agreed, and led his troops south to attack Huairou.
Upon learning of this, Dewey consulted with Wang Wei. The two decided to divide their troops, Dewey stayed behind to guard Qiuyuan, and Wang Wei led his troops north to meet Zhao Hong.
Cheng Wan was very happy when he heard the news.
Dewey joined forces with General Ghostface, which was really difficult to deal with. Now that the two generals are divided, the pressure has suddenly decreased.
Although it is still difficult to deal with, at least it is easier than when they are together.
Ding Gu offered advice again: "The lord can spread rumors, just say that Langshan County has been conquered, and Ning Zeyi's son Lou Qu has been captured. Dewey must be in a hurry, our army has set a trap and can capture him in one fell swoop!"
Cheng Wan listened to the plan and ordered people to spread rumors.
However, he didn't know that Ning Zejun could contact each other through the Flying Pigeon Messenger, and he knew the situation in Wolf Mountain County well.
When Dewey heard the rumors, he convened everyone to discuss: "Cheng Wan spread rumors, how should our army respond?"
Strategist Feng Cheng proposed: "You can repair a book, pretending to send troops to rescue Cheng Wan." When Cheng Wan sent troops to set up an ambush, the general could surprise from the rear. ”
Originally, Ning Zejun was a flying pigeon and passed on the book, so he didn't need to send a letter. Dewey followed Feng Cheng's suggestion, deliberately wrote a letter, and ordered someone to send it quickly.
Sure enough, Cheng Wan had already set up an ambush and received a letter from the messenger.
Knowing that Dewey was "in the middle of the plan", he immediately led his troops to set up an ambush on the route mentioned in the letter, preparing to wait for the rabbit.
Unexpectedly, Dewey led his troops to make a detour and raided Cheng Wan from behind.
Cheng Wan was defeated again, losing his troops and losing his generals.
The repeated defeats made Cheng Wan unhappy, so he returned to the camp and waited for Zhao Hong.
Zhao Hong led his troops south, and met Wang Wei's army at Hulukou, and the two sides fought head-on.
The Futu army was invulnerable, Zhao Hong couldn't resist it, and quickly retreated.
Han Guan received a message from the flying pigeon and learned that Zhao Hong led the troops south, and Eagle Peak County was empty. So he quickly sent troops to launch a surprise attack.
Cao Qing, the general of Eagle Peak County, led his troops to resist stubbornly and was shot and wounded in the fierce battle. He succumbed to his injuries and died.
After the death of the guard, the city was in chaos.
Han Guan took the opportunity to attack, and the defenders were scattered.
So he broke through Eagle Peak County and incorporated it into the territory of the Ning Ze Army.
When the news reached the front line, Zhao Hong was shocked when he learned of this, and hurriedly turned around and withdrew his troops, intending to recapture Eagle Peak County, otherwise he would not be able to explain to his uncle.
Wang Wei took advantage of the situation to pursue and intercept Zhao Hong, and after a fierce battle, Zhao Hong was defeated and surrendered on the spot in order to survive.
Cheng Wan received the news and was shocked.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Hong sent troops to support, but Han Guan took the city. wanted to withdraw, but was caught up by Wang Wei and had to surrender.
My side also lost again and again, and I was quite hit.
Strategist Ding Gu said: "My lord, for the sake of today's plan, we must hold Dewey back so that he cannot rush to the aid of Wolf Mountain County. As long as General Zhong breaks through Wolf Mountain and takes Louqu, he can call Ning Ze to cast a rat trap, and there is still hope!"
There is no way, Cheng Wan can only pin his hopes on Wolf Mountain.
On the other side, Zhao Chen and Chu Bai fought, and suddenly heard that Eagle Peak County was lost, and it turned out that Zhao Hong left his post without permission, causing Han Guan to break through the city and faint on the spot.
I also heard that Zhao Hong was captured and surrendered to Ning Ze, and I panicked for a while.
As a result, Chu Bai seized the opportunity to break through in one fell swoop.
Zhao Chen died in battle, his generals surrendered, and Liao Jun returned to Chu Bai.
Chu Bai took the opportunity to attack Han Guan and recapture the county seat of Xizhou.
Suddenly, I heard that Bashui County, Miao County, and Ning'an sent troops to attack Yuanzhou at the same time. In a panic, troops were divided to rescue Yuanzhou, Yong'an, and Luliang.
Han Guan received the order and immediately set out for Liao County.
Faced with enemies on all sides, Chu Bai was anxious, and hurriedly sent an envoy to the direction of Liangzhou, saying that he did not want to be an enemy with Ning Ze and hoped to withdraw his troops.
At the same time, Xiushu asked Lu Cong for help, hoping that reinforcements would come.
Lu Cong was busy dealing with the princes of the Four Roads, so he had the leisure to assist Chu Bai, but he didn't want Ning Ze to expand too quickly, so he asked Emperor Hui to issue an edict to persuade Ning Ze to suspend his troops.
After all, Chu Bai listened to his orders, if he was annexed by Ning Ze, it would not be good!
