Chapter 62: Seeking Qi Qiwen
Chu Chen didn't stay in Nancheng for long, he left at night that night, leaving only fifty soldiers in Nanjuncheng, and let them be responsible for recruiting troops and horses in Nanjun, training soldiers, and monitoring Chen Bowen by the way, so that he could honestly be this Taishou, quietly do things for the people, and stabilize Nanjun.
Hurried overnight, and when it was almost dawn, Chu Chen and the others finally arrived at the location agreed with everyone outside Langshan City, but when Chu Chen and the others came here, there was no one to see.
"Gao Ming, give the order to go down, let everyone camp and rest, and wait for the arrival of the army. After a night's journey, everyone was a little tired, and Chu Chen saw that the army was not coming, so he asked everyone to dismount and rest.
It wasn't until almost noon that Wei Wu led the army to arrive, and when they saw Chu Chen's camp, Wei Wu and the right general Liu Xiangdong immediately urged their horses to gallop over to meet them.
"Sir, are you flying? Yesterday, you have already arrived here today, it is really embarrassing for the last general!" After seeing the salute, Wei Wu looked embarrassed and said to Chu Chen.
"Let's hurry up, or lag behind Mr., Mr. is really fast!" Liu Xiangdong also followed Wei Wu to pat his ass.
"Order the army to camp and attack Langshan City tonight. After greeting the two of them for a while, Chu Chen ordered.
"Yes, sir!" the two generals ordered, and the whole army camped on the spot, waiting for the others to converge.
Li Ao arrived two hours later, and half an hour later, LΓΌ Dangren led his army to converge.
"Big brother, Lu Lao, I have someone send it to Muyun City. After Li Ao came back, he told Chu Chen the details of this trip to Hanzhong County, everything was going well, and there was a student of Lu Lao who was an official in the county, and Lu Lao asked him, a student, to temporarily act as the county guard and be responsible for the daily affairs of Hanzhong County.
The armies of all walks converged, and Chu Chen prepared to attack Langshan City.
"Sir, at this time, the city of Langshan should not know that we are coming, why don't you let the last general lead a large army to attack it?" When discussing how to attack Langshan City, Wei Wu took the initiative to ask Ying.
"Big brother, why don't you let me lead the troops to attack Langshan City?" Li Ao also opened his mouth to ask for battle.
"Let me go, sir. Liu Xiangdong also asked Zhandao.
"No, I don't. Chu Chen shook his head and said, "It's getting dark at this time, let's sneak attack, now is not the time to let the Qi Kingdom know about us, it won't be long before there will be a time for you to fight in the open." β
Although Chu Chen now has an army of more than 100,000 people, but after all, the State of Qi is a big country, with more than two million elite troops under his command, although they have captured a few cities now, but for the vast area of the State of Qi, it is nothing, not to mention, they have captured only the most barren county of the State of Qi, and the counties with real fertile land are still far from them, so Chu Chen needs a foothold for the time being, and after these occupied counties are completely stable, he will consider confronting the State of Qi head-on.
It soon got dark, and when night completely fell, Chu Chen personally led hundreds of people to sneak under the walls of Langshan City, like a sneak attack on Hanshan Pass, and the army followed behind them, waiting for Chu Chen's signal.
There is no accident, Chu Chen led the people to go up the city wall very smoothly, solved the soldiers on the city wall, Li Ao led people to take the city gate directly, the whole process was just a cup of tea time, Li Ao successfully opened the city gate, after Chu Chen sent a signal, the army drove straight in, the defenders in the city were only two or three thousand people, where to resist, but half an hour, the entire Langshan City was under Chu Chen's control.
"General Liu, General Sima, Tongcheng and Quancheng are only dozens of miles away from Langshan City, and the two of you led the left and right armies to take Tongcheng and Shanquan City overnight. "After completely mastering Langshan City, Chu Chen issued an order to Liu Xiangdong and Sima Ming, asking the two of them to lead troops to take Tongcheng and Shanquan City, as long as these two cities are taken, then, they can form an angle with Langshan Cheng, and at that time, even if the Qi State sends a large army over, they will not be afraid at all.
"Yes! The last general will take the order!" Liu and Sima received the order, and immediately counted the army out of Langshan City and headed for Tongcheng and Shanquan City.
Qi is a big country, the land area is five or six times the size of Chu, nearly 100 cities, and Qi is rich in domestic products, once said that as long as Qi keeps the sixteen counties of Yanyun, it can be immortal. The sixteen counties of Yanyun, the land is extremely fertile, and rich in iron ore and silver ore, the grain produced by the sixteen counties in a year is enough for the whole country of Qi to eat for a year, so even if the emperor of the current Qi country is unkind, no matter how much the people are fished and fleshed, as long as the sixteen counties of Yanyun are in hand, they will not die for a while.
"Sir, Baishi City is only a hundred miles away from here, let the last general lead the army to kill it directly!" Seeing that Liu Xiangdong and Sima Ming were sent by Chu Chen to attack the city again, Wei Wu asked Chu Chen again for battle.
"General Wei don't be impatient, wait for two days, and when Lu Lao comes, after sending a message to Qi Xuan, it will be the time for us to fight. Chu Chen smiled and comforted Wei Wu, now that he has hundreds of miles of land, and Langshan Mountain is dangerous to defend, he no longer has any worries, and he can attack the Qi State openly.
At noon the next day, Liu Xiangdong and Sima Ming sent people back to report that Tongcheng and Shanquan City were all in control.
"From today onwards, the army will rest and train in place, General Lu, you will be responsible for the training of the army, and you must let the Hanshan Army practice the formation well, so that we can have the ability to resist the millions of troops of the Qi State. Chu Chen said to Lu Dangren.
After another two days, Lu Youzhi came to Langshan City, in the past two days, he has managed the counties well, he is very busy, just after the affairs of several counties are handled and arranged, he rushed to Langshan City overnight.
"Lu Lao has worked hard. After seeing Lu Youzhi, Chu Chen saw Lu Youzhi's face full of exhaustion, and immediately admired this old man, originally Lu Youzhi could have let his apprentice do things, but he was not at ease, and he had to bow down to everything.
"It's not hard to be old, thank you Mr. for your concern. Lu Youzhi waved his hand and said, "Is Mr. ready to write a discussion for Qi Xuan?"
"Yes, it's time to let the Emperor of Qi know that we are coming. Chu Chen nodded.
"Sir, wait a minute, the old man has already thought about it, so I'm going to write. "The way of land travel.
Within half an hour, Lu Youzhi wrote an essay to please Qi, sprinkled thousands of words, Chu Chen took a look, only to see the book, Tianchen Jun said:
Qi Emperor Qi Hao, slow to repent of the world, contrary to reason. The dove killed the emperor's brother and usurped his throne. Falsifying the mandate of heaven, pretending to be a talisman, deceiving the people, and angering the heavens...... Honoring the thief, trusting the traitor, and harming the loyal and good...... forcibly expropriated and extorted, and the people were stripped of their ...... The flood fell from heaven, and the people were displaced, but instead of the people...... Hunger is everywhere, and the cities are empty......
