Chapter 324: Encirclement and Suppression

Hearing Hu Chong's words, Shangguan Xiu lowered his head, rubbed his chin and was silent. Hu Chong, www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, asked cautiously: "What do you think is inappropriate?"

Shangguan Xiu said quietly: "Together, divide and raze, in fact, the strategy used by the county lord is very successful and effective. There are as many as 120,000 people in this huge Xiongzhen, including pure Ningnan people and foreign races from Fanbang that were later merged. It is not advisable to destroy a city and unite a country, and the gains outweigh the losses. ”

Hu Chong tightened his brows, looked at Shangguan Xiu, opened his mouth, and was about to speak, but at the end of the words, he sighed lightly and swallowed back into his stomach.

Shangguan Xiu asked, "General Hu thinks I'm wrong, it's a woman's kindness, indecisiveness?"

Hu Chong shook his head and said with a wry smile: "In fact, there is no right or wrong in this matter, only different positions." Adults think about politics, and I think about the military. As a general, it is my duty to fight for my country, and it is my duty to ensure that I win the war. ”

He is a typical professional soldier, as long as it is beneficial to the situation of the war, as long as it can help his side to achieve the final victory, he will do anything.

And Shangguan Xiu did not consider this matter from a military standpoint, for him, Ningnan is a lost territory that the Wind Country has not yet recovered, and the slaughter of the city in Ningnan will only increase the hatred of the Ningnan people towards the Wind Country, and will only infinitely weaken the Ningnan people's sense of identity with the Wind Country, and the Wind Country's desire to recover the lost land in Ningnan will become more distant.

He agreed with Hu Chong's statement, nodded slowly, and said: "You are right, you and I have no right or wrong decision, only different positions." I listened to you in the matter of the sneak attack on Xiongzhen, and in the matter of whether to destroy the city, you have to listen to me. ”

Hu Chong bowed his hand and said: "Your lord's words are serious, as long as your lord has an order, the last general will swear to obey it!"

Shangguan Xiu patted him on the shoulder, and then said to the people around him: "Pass the order, the whole army retreats!"

Hu Chong advocated burning Xiongzhen to destroy this strategic town in Ningnan forever, but his idea was not carried out due to Shangguanxiu's opposition.

Xiongzhen was not destroyed, which is a major event in this national war between the Wind Country and Ningnan, although it is not important enough to turn the tide of the war between the two countries, but at least this matter has reversed the situation in the southern battlefield.

The wind army succeeded in a sneak attack on Xiongzhen in the early morning, and in the morning, the wind army withdrew from Xiongzhen.

The news of the attack on Xiongzhen also reached the Ningnan Army camp on the side of Gongcheng as soon as possible. Peng Huang, commander of the Seventh Army Corps of the Ningnan Army, Tong Yang, deputy marshal, Zhang Junran, commander of the fifteenth corps, and Zhang Peng, deputy marshal, urgently gathered together for consultation.

After the meeting, Zhang Junran was so angry that he jumped like thunder, gritted his teeth and said: "Peng Shuai, General Tong, you both have heard the news from Xiongzhen, Xiongzhen was attacked, the county guard Tong committed suicide and martyrdom, and the millions of stone military rations hoarded in Xiongzhen by your and my armies were all destroyed!"

Peng Huang and Tong Yang's faces were also ugly, and the two nodded solemnly. Zhang Peng took the case and said sharply: "This incident was done by the Second Corps of the Feng Army headed by Hu Chong! At the beginning, tens of thousands of brothers of the Seventh Army went to hunt down and kill the remnants of Hu Chong's only 2,000 people, and even let them escape, but now the remnants of Hu Chong have made a detour and attacked Xiongzhen, causing such a big loss to our side, who should bear the responsibility for this?"

Peng Huang glanced at Zhang Peng and said in a deep voice: "I will explain this matter to the imperial court." ”

Zhang Junran frowned and said: "This matter is not something that can be fooled by a simple explanation! At the moment, it is imperative that our side completely annihilate the remnants of Hu Chong." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Peng said loudly: "Since the brothers of the Seventh Army have no way to take the remnants of Hu Chong, now, our Fifteenth Army should come forward to solve it." As he spoke, he intervened in Zhang Junran and said, "Zhang Shuai, the last general is willing to lead the army to encircle and suppress the remnants of Hu Chong." ”

Zhang Junran glanced at Zhang Peng and nodded, and then he turned his gaze to Peng Huang and Tong Yang, and asked, "Peng Shuai, General Tong, what do you two think?"

Looking at Zhang Junran and Zhang Peng, who sang and harmonized, Peng Huang and Tong Yang both knew that they were shirking their responsibilities on the one hand, and grabbing credit on the other hand.

However, the responsibility for letting go of Hu Chong's remnants is indeed on his side, and now Peng Huang has nothing to say. Tong Yang took a deep breath and said with a solemn face: "Two generals, I don't think this matter is so simple. ”

"Oh, what General Tong means ......"

Tong Yang Zhengse said: "More than 10,000 brothers of our army annihilated the remnants of Hu Chong, it was inevitable, but I didn't expect to meet the reinforcements of the Wind Country on the way to chase and kill......" Before he finished speaking, Zhang Peng had already laughed out loud and reminded: "General Tong's so-called reinforcements are only more than 20 people. ”

"Only more than 20 people can defeat our tens of thousands of brothers with 2,000 remnants, how can they be ordinary soldiers? I suspect that there is still an elite army of the Wind Army hidden in the territory of Ashan!" Tong Yang said with a deep gaze.

Zhang Peng muttered in his heart, and he said patiently: "The main force of the Feng Army is now besieged by us in Gongcheng, only the remnants of Hu Chong escaped, and where did the elite soldiers of the Feng Army come from to hide in Eshan? Okay, I think General Tong is really afraid of being beaten by the Feng people, once he was bitten by a snake, he was afraid of the well rope for ten years, General Tong is afraid of them wind thieves, and I, Zhang Peng, am not afraid." As he spoke, he intervened to Zhang Junran again and said, "Zhang Shuai, let the last general go!"

Zhang Junran smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, the matter of exterminating the remnants of Hu Chong will be completed by General Zhang." However, you also have to be more careful, Hu Chong is cunning and abnormal, and it is not easy to deal with!"

Zhang Shuai is relieved, and the last general knows it. After speaking, Zhang Peng turned around and walked outside the tent.

"Wait a minute!" Tong Yang hurriedly stood up and stopped Zhang Peng, he said meaningfully: "The behavior of Hu Chong's remnants is very abnormal, it is not easy for a tired remnant of the defeated army to escape to Asan by luck, why don't they run, but turn Chapter 324 to encircle and suppress."

Also, Asan traveled thousands of miles from Xiongzhen, and they made a detour, but they suddenly arrived in Xiongzhen in such a short period of time, and were able to defeat the thousands of soldiers defending the city in one fell swoop, where did they have the physical strength? And ......?"

Tong Yang had too many questions in his heart, and he even felt that the sneak attack on Xiongzhen was not Hu Chong's remnants at all, but that he had mistaken the news, or that the enemy had deliberately misinformed him.

It's just that now Zhang Peng is too lazy to listen to Tong Yang's analysis, he waved his hand and said disapprerovingly: "Everyone can talk on paper, but no matter how much you say, it's better to do it in practice." If you want to analyze, you can just sit here and analyze slowly, I, Zhang Peng, will not accompany you. After speaking, he shook off his robe and strode out.

"Zhang ......" Tong Yang still wanted to stop Zhang Peng, but the latter's figure had disappeared outside the curtain of the camp tent. Zhang Junran smiled indifferently, also stood up, and said to Peng Huang and Tong Yang: "The two generals have also taken their leave." ”

Zhang Peng and Zhang Junran left one after another, leaving Peng Huang and Tong Yang looking at each other in the tent, and the two of them sighed faintly in unison. Peng Huang's lament was that he was going to explain this matter to the imperial court, because his brothers were not able to fight well and let go of the remnants of Hu Chong, so it led to the attack on Xiongzhen, which destroyed the military rations of his two legions and suffered heavy losses.

And Tong Yang sighed that things were by no means as simple as they seemed on the surface, he vaguely smelled a smell of conspiracy, but where the conspiracy was, he couldn't say for a while, in short, he felt that Zhang Peng recklessly led the army to encircle and suppress the remnants of Hu Chong, and this matter was not very safe.

Previously, the Seventh Army had already suffered the loss of Hu Chong's remnants, and now Hu Chong's remnants had successfully attacked Xiongzhen, don't look at Zhang Peng's appearance without taking Hu Chong's remnants in his eyes, in fact, it was just what he was doing, in his heart, he still attached great importance to Hu Chong's remnants.

It is precisely because of this that when Zhang Peng sent out the troops, he discussed with Zhang Junran and brought out five corps in one go. Encircling and suppressing the remnants of 2,000 people with an army of 50,000 seems to be really mobilizing the army and making a big fuss, but Zhang Junran and Zhang Peng agree that they would rather divide a large number of soldiers and attack Gongcheng later, and they must also do this matter in a stable manner, and must not suffer any more losses in the hands of Hu Chong's remnants.

Let's say that Shangguan Xiu and his party, after leaving Xiongzhen, returned the same way, and when they reached the Qingchuan boundary again, a black dot circled and chirped above their heads.

Da Jiang, who was accompanying Shangguan Xiu, hurriedly ran to Shangguan Xiu's approach, and said in a half-baked voice: "My lord, there is an enemy situation ahead. ”

Hu Chong, who was beside Shangguan Xiu, looked at him in surprise and asked, "How do you know?"

Dajiang raised his hand and pointed to the flying eagle in the sky. Hu Chong was still puzzled, and Shangguan Xiu immediately told Hu Chong about Dajiang's origin.

Hu Chong was shocked when he heard this, and looked at Dajiang in disbelief, using a falcon to deliver letters, and using a falcon to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, which is also incredible, if the army can have such a falconer, I don't know how much the combat effectiveness will increase!

Shangguan Xiu asked, "Can you judge the number of enemy troops?"

"There are a lot of them! There are still twenty miles from our army, my lord, are we fighting or withdrawing?" asked Dajiang with concern.

Without waiting for Shangguan Xiu to speak, Hu Chong said categorically: "Withdraw! We can't fight this battle! The enemy army that came to intercept us must be from the side of Gongcheng, and the Ningnan army must hate us now, and we must annihilate us completely, so there must be a lot of troops dispatched, and we can't fight with the enemy!"

As he spoke, the falcon hovering above his head suddenly let out a ye'er call. Hu Chong subconsciously glanced up, then looked at Da Jiang and asked, "What's the matter? Why did the falcon suddenly scream?"
