Chapter 267: Pressing Wang Ba to death in an urn
After the father and son of Ezhou guard Yang Yide and the wife and children of Ezhou Governor Shi Wen Kaidong were rescued by Youhou Wei, Ezhou's attitude towards King An came to a 180-degree reversal: Yang Yide and Wen Kaidong wrote to Emperor Qianchang together, exposing the evidence of Ezhou Taishou Huang Pengrang's collusion against the king and suppression of his subordinates, and wanted to hand over Ezhou to the anti-king.
Shen Cunyu, the generalissimo of the rebel army, beheaded Huang Pengrang's Xiang Shang with the sword of Shang Fang, and the civil affairs of Ezhou were temporarily in charge of Wen Kaidong. Wen Kaidong and Yang Yide worked together to defend the people of Ezhou to the death. The families and merchants of Ezhou also contributed money and efforts to support the Ezhou army to capture King An.
After King An's plan to lead the rebels into Ezhou City completely came to naught, the people of Canzhou were worried that King An would turn their target to Canzhou, so they took to the streets to ask for their lives, begging the Canzhou army to build a defense and defend the city to the death.
Why have the people of Chuzhou changed so much?
Isn't this nonsense, who wants to recognize a brute who will take the lives of your relatives to force you to rebel.
Don't believe King Ann would do that? Open your eyes and look at Lord Xicao Shuzuofang, the head mother of the Zheng family, the largest grain merchant in Chuzhou, and the only seedling of the Wen family who has been a scholarly heirloom for eight generations, who was captured and tortured by King An!
"The people of Chuzhou are too worried." The battle situation has become favorable to his side, and he has found the grandson of the Marquis of Wu'an, Xu Chuan's smile in the past few days has been more than in the past six months combined, "King An can't look down on Chuzhou, do you know why?"
Shen Ge, who was respected as the little prince, replied, "First, the city walls of Chuzhou are old and difficult to defend the city; The second is that when King An arrives in Chuzhou City, he will inevitably be attacked from both sides by the Ezhou army and the right Hou Wei."
As soon as Shen Ge's words fell, the generals of the Right Hou Wei sitting around the tent scrambled to express their attitude:
"The little boy is right!"
"The little boy is so smart!"
"The little boy is watching the fire!"
"The little boy's mouth is like a river!"
"If you read less books, you can speak, and your family is a compliment?"
The guy who used the wrong word immediately changed his words, "The little boy is worthy of being the little general's own brother, just as powerful!"
"That's, it's not amazing, it's my brother!" Shen Cunyu, who was leaning on the handsome chair, smiled proudly. Shen Ge, who was sitting next to her, wanted to dig his son out of the ground and let him see with his own eyes what his daughter's arrogance had become.
Zheng Xingchu touched Shen Ge's shoulder and whispered, "Look at your sister like this, isn't it particularly dazzling?"
My sister is very dazzling, and you have a good eye. Shen Ge didn't want to look at Zheng Xingchu's idiotic eyes anymore, and turned his eyes to look at Dafu, but saw Dafu give him a thumbs up:
"Awesome."
Shen Ge also gave a thumbs up like Dafu, you follow the customs of the locals, and you are already mixed with the soldiers of the Right Hou Guard.
Seeing that the hour was almost up, Shen Cunyu's feet on the handsome chair landed, straightened his upper body, and squared his hands on the handsome case. In an instant, the generals who were full of tents immediately shut up, and one by one stood up straight, murderous.
Shen Cunyu's gaze swept over the soldiers present one by one, looked at Shen Ge's wolf-like standing posture with satisfaction, and glared at Zheng Xingchu, who was standing without momentum. If it was before, Zheng Xingchu would definitely show her what he thought was the most beautiful smile, but now Zheng Xingchu also stood up straight, trying to get closer to this group of enthusiastic soldiers.
Shen Cunyu retracted his gaze with satisfaction, and said in a deep voice, "The retreat of the anti-king He Yurong has been cut off, and he has become a turtle in the urn, and the right Hou guards will listen to the order."
The generals shouted in unison, "The last general!"
"My right Hou Wei 3,000 Erlang wants to be one as ten, and he will give this He Yurong, the king eight, to this handsome and die in the urn. If anyone dares to leave his post without heeding orders, military law will be done!"
If the 3,000 right guards want to trap the 30,000 rebels, don't they want to treat one as ten? All the generals should say yes in unison, and the sound is eager to overturn the handsome tent. After everyone retreated, Lin Ruyu beckoned Xu Chuan and Shen Ge to study the map of Anzhou and analyze King An's next move.
King An has been plotting for more than ten years, and it is impossible to shrink in Anzhou City to be slaughtered. In the next step, he may move to Jingzhou, which is easier to defend and difficult to attack, or take Xuanzhou by surprise, and then lead his army down the river to take Xuanzhou.
King Ruo'an really had to make a desperate move, and the 3,000 soldiers and horses of the right Hou Wei plus the 2,000 defenders of Chuzhou and Ezhou were considered complete
The troops died in battle, and they couldn't stop it. Therefore, the most important thing now is to ask the imperial court to immediately send troops to reinforce at least 10,000 soldiers and horses, and trap King An's father and son in Anzhou City.
But that's easier said than done.
"I'll go back to Xingyang to move troops." Zheng Xingchu, who had been listening, spoke, "You hold Anzhou, and at least 10,000 reinforcements from the right guards stationed in Xuzhou within a month will arrive."
Shen Cunyu frowned, "Don't mess around."
Zheng Xingchu looked at Shen Cunyu with a gentle face, "Ye Sheng, the commander of the Right Xiao Guard, can still be moved."
Ye Sheng is indeed a man, but Shen Cunyu feels that the courtiers will definitely quarrel over this, "Without the right Xiaowei guarding Xuzhou, the south gate of Xingyang will not be strong, and those old things in the court will not agree."
Zheng Xingchu explained, "As long as the Right Hou Wei stationed in Xingyang East and the Left Tun Wei stationed in Xingyang West simultaneously mobilize troops to hold Xuzhou, there will be no accident in two or three months. With an increase of 10,000 right guards, Cunyu can be sure to set foot in Ping'an Prefecture within three months."
Shen Cunyu's sharp sword eyebrows were raised, full of domineering, "Three months? Do you think Lao Tzu is a soft-footed shrimp?"
Of course you're not, Zheng Xingchu smiled like a warm sun.
Xu Chuan asked, "How does Zheng Gongzi plan to get Zuo Tunwei to send troops to reinforce Xuzhou?"
The right guards stationed in the east of Xingyang City are led by Wu Anhou, and it is not difficult to assign a part of them to garrison Xuzhou, but the left guards do not listen to Wu'an Hou or Taifufu.
Zheng Xingchu smiled and showed his hole cards, "The life of Xue Sencai's eldest son, the general of Zuotun's guard, was saved by me, so General Xue promised to help me do one thing, and it was not harmless for him to send 5,000 troops to reinforce Xuzhou. If it weren't for the fact that Zuo Tunwei couldn't draw troops south, I would have directly begged him to send reinforcements."
Shen Cunyu was silent, and Xu Chuan arched his hand and said seriously, "Whether this matter can be done or not, Zheng Gongzi's affection, Youhou Wei has received it."
Zheng Xingchu nodded solemnly, "Okay, General Xu's words are remembered. We'll see you later."
After saying that, Zheng Xingchu patted Shen Ge's shoulder, smiled at Shen Cunyu again, turned around and left. Shen Cunyu looked at his back and muttered, "Why is this guy suddenly reliable?"
No matter how unreliable he is, he won't be able to catch up with you. Xu Chuan and Shen Ge glanced at each other and tacitly did not answer, so as not to be beaten.
After secretly sending Zheng Xingchu away, Shen Ge discussed with Shen Cunyu, "Before the reinforcements arrive, our most important task is to trap King An. My sister sent troops to dig up the main road to Jingzhou, and I took someone to burn all the big ships that King An had hoarded at the dock, how about it?"
It's a good idea to burn the ship, but, "How are you going to burn?"
