Chapter 504: Reinforcements from the Shangwu Battalion

Fengcheng, during this time, reinforcements from all over the country have arrived, and the reinforcements along the way have to fight, and some soldiers and horses can enter the city.

Zhang Li, the king of Anxi, was looking at the reinforcements who had only entered the city after the loss of the army, and pressed the anxiety in his heart. Others can be anxious, but he can't.

"Lord Wang, the men and horses of Baicheng and Zhongcheng have arrived, and the two armies have joined forces and rushed to the city, and there are not too many casualties." An official hurried to report to the king of Anxi.

King Anxi nodded shallowly, and before he could speak, another official rushed over: "Lord Wang... Chengnan, go and have a look..."

Zhang Lizheng, the king of Anxi, saw his breathless appearance, his heart tightened, and he asked in a deep voice: "Has the south city gate been broken?" ”

"No... No, the Beiyi soldiers and horses at the South Gate were killed and scattered..."The official replied breathlessly.

"Killed?" King Anxi was taken aback, the four cities of Fengcheng, southeast and northwest each had Beiyi soldiers and horses, especially Beicheng and Nancheng, Beiyi sent heavy troops to guard, and there were 40,000 horses in front and behind. Unless all the soldiers and horses in Fengcheng rushed to kill one place, how could they defeat so many soldiers and horses?

Without waiting for Zhang Lizheng to ask, the official hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, go to the South City Gate to have a look!" ”

Zhang Lizheng didn't care about asking, and strode out of the palace with the officials and rushed to the south of the city.

When he arrived in the south of the city, Zhang Lizheng, the king of Anxi, climbed to the top of the city and looked down, and sure enough, the soldiers and horses of Beiyi had already retreated, leaving only a large camp in the distance.

"What's going on?" King Anxi asked Jiang Yong, the defender of the south of the city.

Jiang Yong pointed to a large open space on the southwest side of the other side of the city: "Lord Wang, please look over there." ”

Zhang Lizheng looked at it from afar, and saw that a large continuous military camp had also been built there, and the flags were unfurled, but they were too far away to see the words on the flags.

"Where's the reinforcements?" Zhang Lizheng asked.

Jiang Yong replied with a wry smile: "The last general sent someone to investigate, and the big book on the banner is 'Zhongyi Gong', which is the Li Ziqi..."

"Loyalty?" Zhang Lizheng was a little confused: "Isn't Li Dingxing in Ancheng?" When did you come to my Fengcheng? ”

Li Dingxing, Wang Xuan and others moved their troops from Sichuan and Shu to Ancheng, and the three kings of the north had already investigated this matter clearly, and the nearest sentry soldiers and horses of the king of the north kept inquiring about their movements day and night. It turned out that they had not moved since they arrived in Ancheng, and the sentries had relaxed, but they did not expect that with this negligence, these many soldiers and horses had quietly touched the vicinity of Fengcheng.

Jiang Yong replied: "Lord Wang, after the soldiers and horses of Baicheng and Zhongcheng entered the city, we had just closed the city gate, and suddenly we heard the shouts of killing outside. We thought it was because there were reinforcements outside the city just in time, but we didn't have time to get in. As soon as he opened the door and rushed out with the soldiers, he saw that the Beiyi soldiers and horses were killed by this group of soldiers and horses. ”

"Those Beiyi people were about to fight back, and when they saw us rushing out of the city, they fled in a hurry, and the camp did not have time to pull out, and withdrew to the east."

Zhang Lizheng rubbed his chin, and only then did he understand that Li Dingxing led his troops here, and happened to encounter reinforcements from Zhongcheng and Baicheng entering the city and fighting. They rushed to help in the battle, but the reinforcements entered the city, and the defenders of the city heard the fighting outside, thinking that there were still reinforcements, so they opened the city gate to respond.

After making a fuss several times, the Beiyi soldiers and horses outside the city were frightened, thinking that they would join forces with the outside and attack together, so they were so frightened that they fled eastward.

"Have you ever sent someone to ask them what they were coming for?" Zhang Lizheng didn't dare to take it lightly, as the king of Anxi, he was in the same breath as the three kings of the north, and in addition to transporting annual tribute to the Central Plains every year, he had already cut off contact. When the Beiyi soldiers and horses attacked the city, Li Dingxing came, and he didn't believe that the other party was so kind to help.

What's more, among the eight kings, the Nanhuai Li family was the first to take the initiative to revoke the domain, and now they have brought soldiers and horses to Fengcheng, which is difficult not to make people think.

Jiang Yong replied, "Lord Wang, I have already sent someone to ask." They only said that they were here to help defend against the Beiyi, and they didn't answer anything else. ”

"Send someone again, just say that I invite Li Dingxing into the city for a while." Zhang Lizheng acted resolutely, there was a person next to the bed where he was sleeping and wanted to lie down, so he had to ask who he was.

Jiang Yong turned his head and called a clever scout, gave him an order, and when he left, he specially instructed him to be "polite". When looking at Zhang Lizheng's face again, Zhang Lizheng did not squint and did not say anything. The Beiyi soldiers came to the city, and at this time, Li Dingxing of Nanhuai led his troops in the name of the imperial court, and it was always right to be polite.

On the city wall, everyone watched from a distance as a pair of soldiers and horses escorted the scout to Li Dingxing's camp, and soon, the soldiers and horses escorted him back. And the big camp, there was not the slightest movement.

"He won't come?" Zhang Lizheng frowned and guessed.

After a while, the scout went to the city and replied: "Back to the prince, I went to the camp, and I didn't see Grandpa Li, but I just spread the word. said that at present, the strong enemy is around, and it is not easy for him to leave the barracks for a long time. If the prince has something to say, please deign to the big camp, and 80,000 soldiers in the martial arts camp will ensure that the prince is safe. ”

“……”

On the city walls, there was silence.

"Lord Wang, he is so unreasonable! It's just a mere prince who wants the prince to deign to go to his military camp. And the statement of the Eight Kings is clearly a threat! Jiang Yong was a military general, full of anger, and said angrily.

Just now, I wanted to be polite and introduce them as reinforcements, but I didn't expect it to be a cold ass with a hot face, which made Jiang Yong feel quite humiliated.

The civil officials on the side were afraid that Zhang Lizheng would be angry, so they hurriedly advised: "Lord, now that Beiyi is pressing, please think twice about everything!" ”

"Coward!" Jiang Yong took a sip.

When the civil official heard Jiang Yong's comment, he didn't feel that he straightened his waist slightly: "If the prince has something to say, you can tell the lower officials, and the lower officials are willing to go to Grandpa Li's military camp for the prince!" ”

"People didn't invite you, I'm afraid I didn't want to rush to hug the thighs of the court!" Jiang Yong said indignantly behind the official.

Zhang Lizheng smiled: "Heh, I heard that the second son of the old Li family is very strategic, and it seems that it is not false." I just want to know how he got here by crossing the many cities of my Anxi. But now that there are 80,000 soldiers and horses, it's not surprising that they can come here..."

"Lord Wang..." the civil official wanted to say more, but was stopped by Zhang Lizheng stretching out his hand: "At the moment of the great enemy, we all have each other's thoughts, and if he refuses to come, it will be just like I refuse to go, since I don't want to, I won't force it." Retreat the Beiyi soldiers and horses first, and then take care of it. ”

King Anxi opened his mouth, and the civil and military generals stopped arguing, and they all stopped, waiting for the prince's next order.

"The Beiyi people have gone to the East Gate?" Zhang Lizheng asked.

Jiang Yong beckoned the spies to come over, and the spies replied truthfully: "The Beiyi soldiers and horses did not turn to the east gate, but stopped in the southeast corner of Fengcheng, about twenty miles away from the south gate. ”

Everyone looked at Zhang Lizheng, he smiled and pointed to Beiyi's camp and said, "A little trick, who can you hide?" It's just that when we go to attack their camp, we will come back and wait for us. ”

"People outside the plug are not kingly, and they are very greedy! If you want to fish, but you can't bear the bait, let them wait! Zhang Lizheng laughed loudly and walked down the city wall, and had to admit that the number of 80,000 soldiers and horses really reassured him.

The current King of Anxi is not to say that he has peace of mind, and there is no need to worry.

……

"Huyanlan! Come out for me! You still dare to deceive Lao Tzu! Kuo Zuoyi grabbed a broken sword, brushed aside the Beiyi guards who stepped forward to block, and strode towards the tent.

This loud voice shouted out some of the rest of the generals in the camp and gathered around the commander's tent. Everyone knows Kuo Zuoyi's temperament, some are waiting to see a good show, some are worried about Hu Yanlan's safety, and some don't understand what happened at all.

The curtain of the handsome tent was lifted, and Hu Yanlan walked out of the tent: "General Kuozuoyi has attacked Fengcheng?" ”

"What Fengcheng did you attack? There are only 10,000 horses in our department, and there are ghosts if they can attack it! You old boy tricked me into attacking the city, and my department lost 3,000 brothers in vain, what kind of heart do you have! When Kuo Zuoyi saw Hu Yanlan, he said angrily, and when he came up, he was going to pull his collar.

Hu Yanlan stood in place, only smiling and not speaking, until Kuo Zuoyi got closer, and several Beiyi generals flashed on both sides and stopped him.

"General Kuozuoyi said that I deceived you, dare to ask the general, how did I lie to you?" Hu Yanlan asked lightly.

"You said that there were two boys in that city, I attacked the city for a long time, and I never saw them at all!" Kuo Zuoyi said angrily.

Hu Yanlan frowned, and looked at Kuo Zuoyi like a fool: "General, in this Fengcheng, how many people are thousands?" Have you only attacked a northern gate, and you have not seen anyone, and you have concluded that there is no such person in the city? ”

"Uh..." Kuo Zuoyi was stunned, Hu Yanlan couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart when he saw him like this, this guy was even more stupid than he imagined.

"The general has not been able to enter the city, so how can I say that I am not right? Now I'm running to ask for an explanation, and there's nothing I can do. A few generals can not stop, as long as they report today's events to the Great Khan truthfully. Hu Yanlan calmly followed the appearance of the Central Plains people, standing with his hands in his hands, not avoiding or hiding at all.

The other generals saw that Kuo Zuoyi had also calmed down a lot and let go of him. He did not continue to commit murder, but stood still, thought for a while, and slowly turned and walked towards the camp gate.

"By the way, the general just said how many dead and wounded? I'm going to make a record and report it to the Great Khan. When Hu Yanlan saw him, he called out to him from behind him.

Kuo Zuoyi was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly turned around and ran to Hu Yanlan's side, Hu Yanlan took two steps sideways, ignored him, and shouted loudly: "All the generals go back to the camp to prepare for battle, and they are ready to listen to military orders at any time." After saying that, he turned around and entered the tent.

The surrounding generals, no matter what their purpose was, felt a little bored when they saw that a good show was such a result, and they dispersed one after another.

Kuo Zuoyi thought for a while, rushed into the camp, and knelt down with a "plop": "Lord Huyan, please don't care about the recklessness of the lesser, save me!" ”

"Keep it secret for you?" Hu Yanlan looked at him condescendingly and asked.

"Thank you so much! The villain is grateful! Kuo Zuoyi nodded repeatedly.

These soldiers and horses were all brought from the Hefu tribe of Tibano, and if he knew that he had lost 3,000 soldiers and horses in a private battle, and the defeat he had suffered a few months ago, he would have been killed.

"Well, don't worry, general." Hu Yanlan replied with a smile on the corner of her mouth.

Looking at the back of Kuo Zuoyi leaving the military tent, Hu Yanlan was a little curious, when he took 10,000 soldiers and horses to attack Fengcheng... What the hell are you thinking...

What Hu Yanlan didn't know was that not long ago, Hu Yantuo even went to attack Fengcheng with 5,000 soldiers and horses...
