Chapter 219: Sneaking Through the Scheme, Thousands of Miles Away
The battle of Xiaopei is a clash between Qingzhou veteran Murong Xuecun and Beifu Junjie Ma Qiancheng, but it is also an indirect battle between Jiangdong Tigers and Beiyan Ice Dragon, which can be regarded as the first battle of the dragon and the tiger.
Now that Qingzhou has been included in Shang Qingying's sphere of influence, the territory of the Great Qi Dynasty is about to be attacked by the dragon and tiger as predicted by Wu Feng three years ago, and it is only a matter of time.
Deng Aihou said again: "Ma Qiancheng knew that the morale of the Beifu army was low at this time and it was unavailable, so he flew a pigeon to pass on the book, so that Xiao Tianhou, the former first fierce general of the Qingzhou Army who had taken refuge in him, quickly sent troops to support. But Xiao Tianhou did not move. ”
"Ma Qiancheng knew that Xiao Tianhou admired his cousin Ma Wanli the most, so he asked Ma Wanli to write a letter, Xiao Tianhou really sent troops to attack the old master, and said, 'Wanli Gong is benevolent, Tianhou dare not not save it'. At this time, the scattered units of the Beifu Army also gathered. ”
In addition, Ma Qiancheng had contacted the Jingzhou Army Long Zhanye before the war, saying that if he was defeated, he would immediately send troops to support. Therefore, after getting the news, Long Zhanye immediately sent reinforcements, and Murong Xuecun, who got the above news, knew the truth of accepting it when he saw it, and quickly led his troops to retreat. ”
After listening to his father's description, Deng Sanshi said: "In this way, not only are the Jiangdong Tigers not very good, but even the ability of Murong Xuecun, a veteran of Qingzhou, is also mediocre...... In this battle, I really can't see any strategy that can be used. ”
Wu Feng groaned slightly, but shook his head: "Otherwise." ”
"Oh, what is Commander Xie Yi's opinion?" Deng Sanshi sneered, in the past few years, the white-clothed battalion has continuously sent supplies back from Hedong, and has been rewarded by his father Deng Aihou many times, which makes him extremely unhappy.
Wu Feng took a sip of the tea in front of him and said lightly: "Not to mention that Murong Xuecun can accurately set up multiple ambushes, you can see his ability to judge the situation; In the ever-changing battle situation, if you can make such an accurate judgment, you can already be called a famous general. What's more, there are a lot of cats in this battle. ”
In the battle of Ruocheng a few years ago, the head of the Qingcheng faction, the lion king Quanbin of Jiannan, was able to break through and severely damage the 80,000 army with 11,000 people. It was because the coalition army was unfavorable in attacking the city but could not make a quick decision to retreat quickly, and was dumpled by the enemy army whose number was far less than their own, and the morale of the army that was frustrated by the blunt soldiers under the fortified city was greatly unusable, and it was defeated to nearly half of the losses, and each Qingcheng soldier had to kill three enemy soldiers on average.
Therefore. Ma Qiancheng and Murong Xuecun can choose to withdraw at the right time, and they can already be called famous generals.
"The problem lies with this Xiao Tianhou. Wu Feng suddenly pointed sharply and said, "Ma Qiancheng has always been cautious and unpredictable in his use of troops, why is this battle so clumsy, and he is subject to Murong Xuecun everywhere?"
When Deng Aihou heard this, he suddenly said in shock: "You mean...... Xiao Tianhou is an undercover agent sent by Murong Xuecun to the Yangzhou Army?"
Hua Zongdai also said: "Listening to what Xie Yi Xiaoyou said, it is really not a small possibility. Ma Qiancheng personally wrote to Xiao Tianhou, but Xiao Tianhou did not come to support, and his cousin Ma Wanli wrote a letter. Xiao Tianhou came......"
Everyone knew that Qin Baxian had already realized that something was wrong back then, and wanted to abolish Ma Qiancheng's position as the heir and let Ma Wanli, who was also his descendant disciple, be the heir. Unexpectedly, Ma Wanli was loyal to his brother, and he joined forces with his brother to exile the master together.
But in Ma Qiancheng's heart, he inevitably had doubts about his younger brother. If Xiao Tianhou is really undercover, he will first betray the information, cause Ma Qiancheng to suffer a fiasco, and then provoke the relationship between the brothers. This set of strategies is really ruthless!
Wu Feng said again: "Chen Ruicong has connections in the Qingxu area, and as soon as he dug up the wall, the small princes who returned to the Beifu Army were one after another. Because there were too many people, Ma Qiancheng couldn't tell who was undercover. Murong Xuecun will make a plan, so that Xiao Tianhou, the first fierce general under his command, will defect at this time, because Xiao Tianhou's prestige and influence will inevitably be reused by Ma Qiancheng...... After Xiao Tianhou defected, he continued to express his admiration for his younger brother Ma Wanli. ”
"From what I can see, Murong Xuecun couldn't hold out after a series of fierce battles at that time, and knew that it was impossible to break through Pengcheng and take down the head of the Ma family brothers, so he planned to retreat. But after Xiao Tianhou got the letter, he must have immediately reported to the late lord Murong Xuecun. Murong Xuecun guessed that Ma Qiancheng would definitely ask his younger brother to write a letter next, so he gave Xiao Tianhou an order to send troops as soon as Ma Wanli's letter arrived......
Deng Aihou said: "Then Murong Xuecun pretended to have a little confrontation with Xiao Tianhou, and then led the troops to retreat. And in Ma Qiancheng's heart, the seeds of suspicion must have been planted more and more for his younger brother......"
Hua Zongdai gasped: "Is this the true means of that famous general of Murong Xue Village? With such calculations and strategies, we really can't imagine it! A war that seems to be narrowly won, I didn't expect that there has already been a strict layout, first hand and then hand, close to each other......"
Wu Feng said: "The confrontation between famous generals is often difficult to see after the end of the war, and it is impossible to see through the twists and turns. The loser is stigmatized, and the winner is only as good as the person who defeats him. But in fact, the truth is often that after repeated games, endless layout calculations, and finally the winner is won by the person who is the best at chess...... And others can only peek at the leopard from the exposed appearance, and speculate on some of the secrets. ”
Hua Zongdai said: "You can be thousands of miles away, according to the description of the hall master, you can see through Murong Xue Village's strategy, although it is after the war, it is already very extraordinary." ”
Deng Sanshi showed an unconvinced look in his eyes, but he knew that what Wu Feng said made a lot of sense, and I am afraid that the truth is true!
Deng Aihou looked at Wu Feng with an appreciative look.
"Murong Xuecun has such means, and now with the support of Beiyan Shang Qingying, Ma Qiancheng does not seem to be his opponent, maybe there will be cannibalism between brothers next, and he will no longer be able to invade the north. As Xie Yi's little brother said, Shang Qingying is not an ordinary person, Murong Xuecun is a famous veteran, with superior wisdom, the two of them will join forces, they will definitely be able to destroy the Great Qi Dynasty in just a few years, attack the Divine Hall, and the day when we will turn over will come......" Deng Aihou said.
Wu Feng sighed: "Not necessarily, hall master." Monk Qingying's diplomacy, it's better not to be in a hurry. ”
"Why?" Deng Aihou wondered.
"The reason why I was able to get a glimpse of Murong Xuecun's strategy. Is it because this strategy is not perfect! With a single click, everyone can see that Xiao Tianhou is an undercover agent, why? The key lies in the fact that Xiao Tianhou provoked the relationship between the two brothers. It's so obvious!"
"Murong Xuecun is certainly good at planning, but he is also too anxious. Indeed, after the defeat, Ma Qiancheng was more likely to lose his correct judgment. If Ma Qiancheng lost face, he would be angry. Just as Yuan Shao, the overlord of Hebei in the Middle Ages, killed Tian Feng and killed his cousin Ma Wanli, who was known for his military exploits, then the Yangzhou army would inevitably fall into a long-term civil strife. But if Ma Qiancheng doesn't fall for it, it can be easily seen that Xiao Tianhou is an undercover agent sent by the Qingzhou Army!"
Wu Feng smiled: "Hall Master, if someone performs this trick on you and wants to use your hand to get rid of the prince, will you fall for the scheme?"
Deng Aihou was stunned for a moment, and then said: "That's naturally not." ”
Deng Sanshi was shocked in his heart, not for anything else, but because he really killed his father. The idea of seizing Iwakura!
Wu Feng said: "Good steel must be used on the blade in order to give the opponent a fatal blow." A heavyweight undercover agent like Xiao Tianhou could have played a greater role, but this time the sowing of discord was too obvious, and once it was exposed, it would ......"
Deng Aihou said: "Xiao Tianhou will be killed?"
Wu Feng shook his head: "If I were Ma Qiancheng, I would pretend that I still don't know, but I still maintain the importance of my younger brother to stabilize people's hearts." Then misled Xiao Tianhou and used Xiao Tianhou to send all kinds of false information to Murong Xue Village, causing Murong Xue Village to suffer heavy losses. After attacking Murong Xue Village. I told Xiao Tianhou that I knew that you were an undercover agent a few years ago, and I couldn't bear to expose it because of my love for talent. Then Xiao Tianhou will definitely be grateful to Dade and swear allegiance. ”
"Do you think Ma Qiancheng has such calculations and means?" Wu Feng shook his wrist and said.
Deng Aihou bowed: "I understand." Since Shang Qingying promised that as long as Beiyan could be close to the boundary of the Divine Hall, he would immediately send troops to attack the Divine Hall, then the diplomacy of the Northern Yan side would be like this. He sighed: "Maybe the east side will evolve into a dragon and tiger, and the two young celebrities will not be able to compete." What about the situation that has been delayed for many years...... It's better to think about the matter of befriending the Three Rivers Sword Sect and the Divine Sky Dao. ”
He stared at Wu Feng's eyes abruptly: "Little Brother Xie Yi, you have done a good job in Hedong. Now you're sixteen years old, and you've developed your own tactics of warfare, enough to command an army. In the past few years, Sanshi has been fighting against Shi Xinqing's kid, although he has also made some gains, but after all, the battle situation can't be very satisfactory to me, why don't you also take the soldiers and horses of the white-clothed battalion to assist him in the battle?"
Hearing this, Wu Feng's heart couldn't help but be shocked!
The so-called inability to satisfy Deng Aihou is completely Deng Aihou's cover-up for his son Deng Sanshi.
In the past few years, there have been seven or eight small border frictions between the shrine and the Iwakura Temple, and these border frictions are all in charge of the Shindo's new Michi town guard Shi Shinkiyo on the Shindo side.
Shi Xinqing is the adopted son of Su Mu, the cousin of Su Mengzhen, the master of the temple, and inherited the position of the envoy of Michi Town after his adoptive father died in the Battle of Saigo.
Wu Feng once thought that this person was just a coward and a straw bag, but then he knew that he had lost his eyes. In the past few years, Xinqing has been rectifying armaments and developing industries in Michi, and he has done a good job, and the way of using troops is very strange and ruthless.
Deng Aihou wanted to train his son and let Deng Sanshi lead the troops to confront Shi Xinqing. When Deng Sanshi was sixteen years old, he showed a certain command ability in the first battle between Huo and Deng Rong, but when he faced Shi, Xinqing was almost completely unable to bargain, and he was repeatedly beaten to the ground. It seems that this Shi Xinqing is a much more ruthless character than his son Su Mu!
Shi Xinqing inherited his father's tactics and carried them forward, often sending mobile and nimble squads into Iwakura's territory to burn manors and rob the population. This is a despicable but extremely effective method. When the peasants' houses and harvests were burned, the Iwakura Hall could no longer collect their taxes, and they had to find a way to prevent them from starving to death.
If it weren't for Wu Feng's provision of a lot of wealth to Iwakura, perhaps Iwakura's economic situation would have been in crisis.
Su Mengzhen's employment is really not simple.
However, Su Mengzhen let Shi Xinqing inherit the position of the envoy of Michi Town, but set up Su Can as the heir, which can only prove one problem - Su Can is better than Shi Xinqing, and he is by no means the second ancestor, Su Mengzhen said that Su Can can't satisfy himself because he hopes to have a better heir!
Wu Feng will enter the Divine Hall in the future, if he wants to squeeze Su Can from the position of heir, it will not be easy.
However, what really frightened him was that Deng Aihou actually wanted him to lead troops to fight against the Divine Hall.
He was born in the Valley of Forgotten Sorrows, a tribe of the Divine Hall, and he is considered a disciple of the Divine Hall. He went undercover to Iwakura, although he lured Iwakura to merge and successfully weakened Iwakura's strength, but offering the wealth of the Valley of Forgotten Worries and opening up Hedong also brought a lot of benefits to Iwakura.
Is it true that in order to achieve the goal of capturing Iwakuraden, do you really have to fight with the soldiers of the shrine?(To be continued.) )
