Chapter 126: North-South Confrontation and Turning Point

Chen Zhiqing's assassination was not pretending, but real, just when Chen Zhiqing led people to inspect the strange defensive posture of Xiangyang City, he killed a group of dead soldiers from the dense forest, and the guards around him desperately snatched him out, and when he returned to the station, he found that Chen Zhiqing had been hit by an arrow in the back, and the arrow was poisonous.

Chen Zhiqing's pale face looked at Meng Huan who was annoyed on the side of the bed, and slowly comforted: "Eleven Lang, I'm fine, Tu Shan Jinyuan and Cao Li don't have the courage to dare to assassinate me, there will be something wrong in Xiangyang City." ”

"Qingshuai, I always feel that this expedition has not been smooth, it is too unlucky." Meng Huan muttered.

"The defeat of the boundary card has made us lose the first move, and it is not feasible to solve it quickly, we are now in a tug-of-war with Xiangyang, fighting for endurance, fighting for grain and grass, forcing the prince to sit in Jingshan, and now our Xifu is attacked on three sides." Chen Zhiqing's words were full of heaviness.

"Brother Wang came to Jingshan, what should I do in Changsha?" Meng Huan exclaimed.

"The prince is in Jingshan, and his name is still in Changsha, as long as he guards the East Mansion, the most troublesome thing now is Xiangyang."

"You mean the handsome can't make it up?" Meng Huan immediately understood the meaning of Chen Zhiqing's words.

"Yu Qingwu and Quartz are on par, the battle of Xiaochang is the key, even if Yu Qingwu knows about Xiao Zhan's capture, it is difficult for him to throw a rat trap, even if Quartz's Condor Army is trapped in Xiaochang."

"Xiao Zhan is the brother of King Wu, does Yu Qingwu really dare not care about his life?" Xiao Zhan wondered.

"Xiao Yu has a suspicious and fickle temperament, and the Ming Jian Division secretly found out that the fire at the night banquet on the Qinhuai River today was probably caused by him, Xiao Zhan was defeated and captured, if Yu Qingwu was hesitant because of his hesitation, I am afraid that he will not be able to get anything good when he returns to Jinling, so it is better to desperately resist the quartz."

Meng Huan nodded in understanding, and then suddenly asked, "Qingshuai, do you think Brother Wang will give up the original plan to attack Xiangyang?" ”

This question stopped Chen Zhiqing, now the situation is obviously unfavorable to Xifu, it stands to reason that giving up attacking Xiangyang at this time is the first choice, but Meng Yan does not have any intention of retreating, the troops are stretched, no matter how you look at it, there is no certainty of victory.

So Chen Zhiqing shook his head and said: "I don't know about this, you don't have to think too much, since there is no order to evacuate, we will still proceed according to the original plan, I heard that the Marquis of Cheng will arrive in Jingshan in the near future, it seems that the princess has already dealt with the affairs of Xichuan, and the military situation is not what we are good at." ”

"Well, Qingshuai, you have a good rest, I'll go to the camp to take a look, the morale has been a little bad recently."

When Meng Huan was about to walk to the door, he was suddenly stopped by Chen Zhiqing, "Eleven Lang, arrange a cavalry school to secretly gather at Shimen, no matter what the battle situation is, no troops can be sent without an order." ”

Meng Huan was stunned for a moment, he didn't understand what Chen Zhiqing meant, but he couldn't help but didn't ask, Qing Shuai's arrangement naturally had his reasons, and asking too many questions was not conducive to secrecy.

Chen Zhiqing was just uncomfortable, Yu Qingwu was worried at this time, Xiao Zhan was defeated and captured, the boundary card was lost, An Lu was in danger, and he also had a headache for the quartz outside the city, night attacks, sneak attacks, and all the moves that could be used were used, and the two armies were exhausted, leaving only the daily slashing.

He knew that quartz was consumed with him, and now everyone was desperately hanging, and the meaning of winning or losing was not much, but he couldn't retreat, once he retreated, the entire army would form a situation of defeat.

"General, the other side wants to exchange prisoners and corpses, you see?" The guard asked cautiously.

Yu Qingwu said without hesitation: "Tell Quartz that it's not okay to change prisoners, it's okay to collect corpses." ”

"But general, we have a lot of brothers planted in their hands." The guard questioned.

"I know what you mean, and I want my brothers to be safe, but we don't have much food and grass, and the people of Exi Province will not mistreat the prisoners of war, they are safe." Yu Qingwu said with a wry smile, he didn't want to do this kind of unconscionable thing, but there was no way, the prisoners in Xifu had already been secretly executed.

Quartz's face was full of stubble, Deng Ang also lost the black ash of his previous brilliance, and the food on the quartz table had long been out of heat, "Deng Ang, how many people have been lost today?" ”

"Heroic, I can't bear it anymore, the loss of at least 4,000 people a day, the corpses piled up under the city are no longer used for siege ladders, this fucking Yu Qingwu is like a stone, there is no place to speak." Deng Ang completely gave up the image of the noble son of the past, and the swear words have been flying all over the sky these days, and the ancestors of Qingwu have been greeting for more than 20 generations.

"Can the brothers still bear it? Is there any news for the people going to Macheng? What are the instructions from the prince's side? Quartz was visibly anxious.

Deng Ang shook his head and said helplessly: "The generals of the battalions are okay, the momentum of the soldiers is very low, there is no news from Macheng, the news of the Mingjian Division has also been broken, Qingshuai was assassinated, and Xiangyang is now all supported by General Mengda. ”

"What about Chengdu? We're all on fire here, they won't still be eating, drinking, and having fun, right?! Quartz was furious.

"Yingshuai, you know the situation in Chengdu, the remnants of the Zhuge clan have been harassing Chengdu constantly, and the princess and Ye Shuai are afraid that it will be difficult to transfer manpower."

Quartz is not unaware of the difficulties of Chengdu, and getting angry is only to relieve his emotions, Xiaochang ate nearly 30,000 of his people in seven days, and judging from the corpses on the battlefield, the loss of Beifu is by no means less than 30,000 people, there is no news in the direction of Macheng, Zheng Xi, the first general under him, is lying on the bed humming, and almost everyone in the other generals is injured.

Can't wait like this, the consumption of grain and grass is too great, Quartz immediately made a bold decision, the whole army was full of food and all their strength to attack Xiaochang, and when he was about to give the order, a familiar and kind voice came.

"What do you want to do?" Quartz had never felt so pleasant to this voice as it was today, and Su Qing came.

"Why are you here?" Quartz was surprised.

"The prince was worried that you were impulsive, so he specially asked me to come over." Su Qing covered her nose and said angrily.

"It's all called to this, and everything that can be greeted is used, it's me who is incompetent." Quartz is more self-blame, and the continuous losses make him doubt himself a little in his heart, and the matter of Jingshan's victory is a joke in his heart at this time.

"You're done! The prince is afraid of your death, what kind of person is Yu Qingwu, Xiao Yu can let him take charge of the western front of Beifu, it is not easy for you to hold on until now. Although Su Qing was scolding him, he was somewhat distressed.

Hearing Su Qing scolding him, the frustration in his heart slowly dissipated, this scolding was very kind, I saw him looking outside, spread his hands and said: "This is the situation, burning, digging holes, sneak attacks, all the capable people are done, Mrs. give me a clear way!" ”

"The prince has an order, don't fight again in the past two days," and then gave a look to Quartz, Quartz immediately understood that everyone went out, in addition to their couple, there were only Deng Ang and Zheng Xi who was lying on the couch panting, Su Qing looked around cautiously and whispered: "Five days ago, the prince took Anlu lightly, and there was no external growth, he personally led his troops straight to Guangshui." ”

Quartz and Deng Ang were both stunned, and even a half-crippled like Zheng Xi got up suddenly, grinning: "Qingshuai, Yu Qingwu is dead." ”

Deng Ang didn't care about sitting on the ground and said, "Lao Tzu can finally sleep well, Lao Zheng, you have been lying down for several days, it's my turn, get out." "The mouth says that the person is about to fall asleep, and he is too tense and tired these days.

"Someone! Send a few pairs of bedding over, let the meal captain prepare to eat, Lao Tzu is hungry! After speaking, he looked at Zheng Xi and said: "Deng Ang is right, you should get out, arrange the things on duty, and let the brothers eat and sleep!" ”

Zheng Xi dragged his stump leg and arched his hand to Su Qing and said, "Madam, you see that I am like this, Qingshuai will not let go." ”

Su Qing said with a smile: "This is a matter of your Condor Army, I came here this time on behalf of the Ming Jian Division." ”

Zheng Xi looked at Deng Ang, who was already asleep on the ground, and Quartz, whose eyes were bloodshot, smiled happily, and limped out of the big tent with a smile.

The guards entered the big tent, and after placing Quartz and Deng Ang separately, they all retreated under Su Qing's signal.

Quartz kicked Deng Ang next door, he didn't react at all, he had already fallen asleep, picked up Su Qing and put it on the bed, and then planted his head on Su Qing's plump and powerful thighs, and said with a wicked smile: "Madam, it's time for me to shave." ”

When Quartz was woken up by a loud noise, it was already the afternoon of the next day, and he opened his eyes in a daze and saw that the bed next to him was empty.

Quartz casually put on a robe and walked out of the big tent, and he couldn't open his eyes for a while due to the west sun, but the sound of wrestling in the direction of the school still aroused his curiosity.

As soon as I walked into the school grounds, I saw Deng Ang and Zheng Xi cheering with red faces and thick necks, shouting that they even lost their crutches when they were excited.

Su Qing didn't know where to come out of nowhere and tightened his robe, "The dignified boss doesn't care about the image at all, what it looks like, I suspect that the prince gave you the military flag just on a whim." "No matter what time Su Qing's care is different.

"What are you doing here? Yu Qingwu ran away? "Quartz really can't understand that there is such a scene on the battlefield.

"Yu Qingwu didn't run, but he's afraid he's thinking about how to run now, and tell you the good news, the prince has taken Guangshui, and you can beat the water dog tomorrow."

"So what are you waiting for? Call it now! Quartz was in a hurry, he didn't want to let Yu Qingwu go.

Su Qing kicked him heavily, "What's the hurry!" The news of the loss of Guangshui and An Lu has not yet reached Yu Qingwu's ears, and he still has to fight with you now that you go over. ”

Quartz scratched his head while rubbing the painful part of being kicked by Su Qing, and shouted in a suppressed voice with a little anger: "You also know that I am the coach, where do I still have an image if you kick me like this?" ”

Su Qing rolled his eyes, ignored his anger, and said, "Let's go to dinner after watching for a while, the prince has an order, and a full-scale attack will be launched tomorrow, and it is bound to take Xiaochang City." ”

"Is there any news from Macheng?" Quartz asked hurriedly.

"Yes, Macheng has been taken, with a loss of 5,000 soldiers, your subordinates are good, after taking Macheng, they immediately defended on the spot, completely blocking the soldiers and horses of Xizhou, and the prince also sent someone to contact Suizhou Assassin Shi, now it's up to you."

"Let Yu Qingwu run away again, and I'll wipe my neck myself." Quartz said hatefully.

"Don't be ruthless, what the prince means is not to fight with Yu Qingwu too much, and force him to go north to the front line of Xiangyang immediately after he goes north to Shenzhou." Su Qing reminded that he was afraid that Quartz would not be able to let go of his obsession with Qingwu.

"When are you leaving? To Jingshan or Chengdu? ”

Su Qing paused for a moment and said: "I'll leave immediately, go to Changsha, Yu Gong is not very good, Dongfu has changed his playing style, and Tang Yuan has changed his past and began to care about the gains and losses of one city and one town." ”

"Well, how is Little Rock doing? This kid isn't in trouble, isn't he? Quartz talked about his son, and his eyes were full of love for Su Qing.

Su Qing didn't dodge, his hot gaze met it, the two have been living separately all these years, Xiao Shi was born when the war in Jingshan was tight, there was no way, and most of the time after he was born was raised by Gu Qingfeng's side.

"You don't have to worry about it, it's better to be by Niangniang's side than to follow us," he said as he stroked the disheveled hair of the quartz wind, "You pay more attention to yourself, don't be unhappy and go into battle yourself." ”

"Okay, why are you still nagging, this is not in line with the style of your commander of the Ming Jian Division." Quartz quipped.

"This time, the loss of the entire Xifu is not small, Niangniang sent a message to transfer six schools to support you, and it is Lu Ping who commands the army, I know that you are at odds with him, but for the sake of the overall situation, you can collect some points."

"Well, if you don't talk about it, I won't be willing to let you go, be careful in everything, don't step forward if you can let your subordinates do it, Luantai Murong Changfeng is not a good person."

Su Qing smiled and said arrogantly: "Let him let the horse come!" ”
