Chapter 51: The danger of Zhenyuan City is lifted

Everyone's eyes retracted, Fan Wenzhong left quickly, after all, he was the commander of Ningzhou, in addition to solving the crisis in Zhenyuan City, he had to deal with the military reports of the other nine cities one by one, which can be described as a heavy military task.

The boys around him were quite knowledgeable, stepped aside and gestured.

When Fan Wenzhong left, he always felt a somewhat depressing atmosphere, which was obviously a lot more relaxed.

Su Qi'an came back to his senses and prepared to leave, after all, he followed Xie Cang to Ningzhou this time, not to let Su Qi'an come here to play, to be a spectator.

Su Qi'an accompanied Xie Cang's staff this time, to put it bluntly, he was a military advisor, Xie Cang's support for Zhenyuan City, Su Qi'an was not worried, and it was estimated that he would be able to come back in a few days.

What we have to consider now is what to do in the face of the attack of the Daei army.

This matter is not something that can be solved in a few days, and looking at the aggressive posture of the Daei army, we must be prepared to fight a protracted war in this war.

It is possible to be as short as a few months, or as long as a year and a half, so in the next time, Su Qi'an must have a good understanding of the content of the military report in Ningzhou during this time, and he will also know it in his heart at that time.

At this moment, in front of Su Qi'an, the group of sons and brothers blocked Su Qi'an's way.

The leader was Zheng Liang, with a smile on his face, and said to Su Qi'an.

"Mr. Su's words just now really made Ben Hou look sideways, since Su Qi'an is the person brought by Xie Cang, that is Ben Hou's friend, if Su Qi'an does not give up, if there is anything you don't understand in the future, you can find Ben Hou, Ben Hou welcomes Mr. Su at any time."

Su Qi'an nodded and said softly, "Well, Su is here to thank Marquis Zheng for his kindness, Su is a little tired today and wants to rest early, I hope Marquis Zheng will forgive me, Su will leave." ”

"Well, it should be, Mr. Su is going to rest early after a long journey, so Ben Hou won't talk to Mr. Su, Mr. please."

Su Qi'an didn't say anything and turned to leave.

After Su Qi'an walked away, Zhao Ang behind him couldn't help but say, "Brother Liang, why are you so polite to this Su Qi'an?" Isn't it just a poor and sour literati, looking at his attitude, he doesn't have a respectful look for you at all, Brother Liang, anything. ”

"That is, as far as I know, this Su Qi'an is just a small person, and he is favored by Xie Cang, Xie Cang is nothing compared to Brother Liang, but this Su Qi'an doesn't give Brother Liang face at all, if Brother Liang doesn't stop him, I have to teach this kid a lesson."

Zhou Yan, who didn't deal with Zhao Ang, was also on the same front as Zhao Ang, and said indignantly.

For these famous families, being able to behave like this to a person can be regarded as giving them face.

In normal times, not to mention a small lifter, even if it is a so-called jinshi, when you meet them, you have to lick your face and catch up.

This Su Qi'an is good, not only did he not stammer, but he was so arrogant, especially in front of Brother Liang, he didn't give Zheng Liang a face at all, this kind of arrogant attitude was properly beaten to death in Kyoto.

They don't understand, why Zheng Liang has such a good attitude towards this little man?

It is quite rare to be able to make Brother Liang have this attitude.

Zheng Liang smiled on his face, looked at Su Qi'an's departing back with a smile, and said softly, "This person is not so simple, don't underestimate him too much, although Xie Cang and we are not all the way, but Xie Cang's ability, even me, has to be convinced, the person who can be favored by him, you say?" What is a simple role? ”

"Brother Liang, you're right, but Xie Cang is just a marquis like us, even if he takes a fancy to him? Can't it still climb on top of us? ”

Zheng Liang shook his head and said, "That's right, a Xie Cang is nothing, but if a character like Fan Lao takes a fancy to it, then it's another matter." ”

"Fan's favor? Brother Liang, this can't be!"

"Well, at present, Fan Lao really has no appreciation for him, but I dare to conclude that after this war, this Su Qi'an will definitely fall into Fan Lao's eyes."

"Don't say I didn't remind you, take advantage of this time to check this Su Qi'an, I think I will definitely give you a surprise."

After speaking, Zheng Liangtou didn't go back and left, leaving only the bewildered boy to stay where he was...

Su Qi's wing room is not big and very clean, which is just right for Su Qi'an.

He leaned back in the chair, his eyes slightly closed, as if he was thinking about something, Su Qi'an didn't pay attention to Zheng Liang's behavior just now.

Even if his actions just now offended some of these famous families, Su Qi'an didn't care, there were many military newspapers on his desk, these military newspapers were not leaked, as Xie Cang's staff and military advisor, Su Qi'an naturally had the right to watch.

Compared with those sons and buddies who made military achievements, Su Qi'an's brows frowned.

From these military reports, he obviously smelled a conspiracy emerging, this time I am afraid that it is not as good as the so-called conventional war before, one is not good, it is very likely to suffer heavy losses, and Ningzhou will fall...

If there is really such a day, what is Ningzhou compared to the attitude of those sons.

Thinking of this, Su Qi'an's closed eyes opened suddenly, he didn't dare to continue thinking about it, put the general newspaper aside, looked into the distance, and no one knew what he was thinking.

In a blink of an eye, Fan Wenzhong's military order was issued, and Xie Cang, Liu Zhen, and Chen Zhi led a team of 10,000 cavalry, and they also went for almost three days.

In three days, news finally came, and as Su Qi'an and Fan Wenzhong expected, after half a day's effort, Xie Cang's cavalry army entered Zhenyuan City to assist in the defense.

At this moment, 10,000 cavalry entered the city on the front foot, and Darong had at least 50,000 troops on the back foot, and they came straight to the far side of the town.

The two sides first engaged in a small friction and probing, and then the Daei army carried out a large-scale siege of the city.

This siege lasted for two days, but fortunately, the cavalry supported by Xie Cang arrived, and the 20,000 soldiers in the city resisted desperately.

This surprise attack disrupted the left flank of the Darong army, although the Daeung army quickly returned to the defense, the Split Mountain Army led by Xie Cang broke through in time, and finally killed 3,000 soldiers of Daeung with a battle loss ratio of 1 to 2, winning a small victory.

Because it could not be attacked for a long time, and in order to prevent the Liang soldiers from raiding again, the Daei army announced the withdrawal of its troops.

Although the current situation is still in a stalemate, with the disappearance of the fighters, at most half a day, the Daei army will withdraw, and the danger of Zhenyuan City will be over.

After all, the Split Mountain Army in Xie Cang's hands was tough and tough with the Darong cavalry, and it was one of the few armies of the Daliang cavalry.

The only drawback is that there are too few troops, but this is also a matter of no choice, if you want to raise an army like the Split Mountain Army, you will spend a lot of money every year.

The expenses of a 3,000-strong Split Mountain Army for a year are enough to cover the taxes paid by a county, not including the salaries of 3,000 soldiers, and the pensions of the fallen soldiers.

All of them add up, it's an astronomical sum, and it's such a big expense to feed a split mountain army, if you really make tens of thousands, I'm afraid you will have to eat up a state.

This is absolutely not good, of course, this is only one aspect, more importantly, it is really tens of thousands of elites like the Split Mountain Army, which will make Su Liang's royal family uneasy.

Thirty years after the two states of Qingyou were ceded, in order to recover the lost territory, a large number of generals emerged in Daliang at that time, who could fight well.

One of the old generals surnamed Yue, with a strong military strength and a number of troops reaching 100,000 people, once entered the hinterland of Qingyou and Youzhou, and it seems that he can recover it in one fell swoop and return to the glory of the founding of Daliang.

It's a pity that there was a traitor in the court, and Su Tianzi fanned the flames in his ears at that time, and finally within one day, the court issued thirteen gold medal orders, and the old general Yue had no choice but to retreat.

He was then imprisoned on trumped-up charges and executed on a bleak winter night.

Although twenty years later, the old general was rehabilitated Zhaoxue, but Qingyou Erzhou missed the opportunity to recover, even if several emperors of the previous dynasty wanted to recover the lost territory, and finally due to various factors, regretted withdrawing their troops.

One of the biggest reasons is that the imperial court has restricted the military general's military power, although the old general has been rehabilitated, but the transfer of military general's power is even more restrictive.

The structure of the first army was limited from 10,000 to 3,000 to 5,000, and if the generals wanted to transfer troops, they had to pass the consent of the accompanying supervising army.

These accompanying supervisors are all red eunuchs around the emperor, and their power is so great that they can even be cut first and then played.

It is said that more than ten years ago, a young military general who was particularly good at fighting was killed by the accompanying prison army.

The literati have the power in their hands, but they have no experience in fighting at all, at most they are making money, compared to those generals, one is not good, and they rebel directly, which is the headache of the Su Liang royal family.

In order to put an end to future troubles, even if the land is ceded and the strength of the army is weak, the development of military generals must be restricted.

It is precisely for this reason that Fan Wenzhong will be so reused with confidence, what about holding an army of 300,000, after restrictions from all sides, even if he rebels, he will only have a city of troops in his hands at most.

When the time comes, you can easily close the encirclement.

Knowing that the strength of the Daliang army was so weak, it also opened Su Qi'an's eyes.

The Su Liang royal family was able to die for 300 years, which can be regarded as their shit luck.

However, this kind of luck does not last long, and it is only a matter of time before the Northern Darong suffers from this kind of obedience, passive defense, and Da Liang is destroyed.

Even if Su Qi'an knows this, he can't change it, the only thing he can do is to do his best to be able to survive this Ningzhou without losing, which is the limit.

The rest, it's not his turn to worry about it.

Half a day passed quickly, and soon the news of the retreat of Daei's army was heard, and the crisis in Zhenyuan City was resolved.

The 10,000 cavalry army led by Xie Cang and the three of them will return immediately after staying in Zhenyuan City for half a day.

After this battle, if the Daei army wanted to find such a good opportunity, it was basically impossible to sneak attack Zhenyuan City.

The two nearby military cities have already received the news, and the army has also returned to defense, and will pay close attention to the situation in Zhenyuan City.

The temptation of this battle has come to an end, and the armies of both sides have to rest, at least for the next seven days, and the fight will not be fought.

Fan Wenzhong's tense nerves can be loosened a little.
