Chapter Seventy-Four: Array, Breakthrough, and Dark Situation
Living in the tent, Xiao Feng sat majestically, as if waiting for someone to come.
In less than a few quarters of an hour, outside the tent, Qin Changqing slowly stepped in, bowing to Xiao Feng: "Lord Qiqi, I have prepared what you ordered." Just before he went to greet the dignitaries and nobles of the Luoyang Mansion, the girl in front of him had taught him to expel the group of people, let alone make the other party have the idea of surrendering.
Although Qin Changqing was puzzled why he made such a move, since it was what the lord said, he naturally did not dare to slack off, so he acted rebelliously, insulted the other party with foul language at every turn, and even threatened to slaughter with heavenly soldiers.
This behavior naturally made those people quite dissatisfied, and when they returned to Luoyang, they regrouped their troops and tried to resist.
"You're doing a great job. Next, let the king lead the army to attack the city. His eyes widened slightly, Xiao Feng's eyes flashed red, and he immediately spoke: "Remember this time, only defeat is allowed, not victory!"
"Failure?" Qin Changqing was immediately surprised, and asked again: "Lord, why is this?"
"Qin Changqing. You need to remember that the purpose of our trip is not to reclaim our homeland, but to destroy the rebels who have taken refuge in the Tartars. Xiao Feng sighed softly and explained: "Since this is the case, then it should not be to compete for a city or a place, but to consume the other party's living power. After all, this Central Plains has been ravaged by war, and the so-called farming skills have long been abolished, even if we occupy this city, we will definitely not be able to defend it for a long time, but will waste our own strength and give the other party an opportunity to take advantage of. Do you understand that?"
Qin Changqing sighed unconsciously, and responded: "The lord's words are very reasonable! According to what the lord said, what are we doing in this battle?"
"Naturally, it's Shi Tianze. This person was the first member of the Han army in Mongolia. If I can kill him, then this Central Plains hero will definitely be afraid of my Red Phoenix Army and dare not have the heart to resist. At that time, my Red Phoenix Army will sweep through the Central Plains, who will be able to resist?" Xiao Feng's mouth curled slightly, showing even more confidence.
Breaking out of the stone egg, she not only absorbed the power of the Snail Emperor in it, but also made her body more and more perfect with the power of creation, and her strength was more than several times stronger than the original battle in Jinghai?
With such strength, he is naturally fully sure to defeat Shi Tianze!
Qin Changqing leaned over and bowed again, and said, "Then I wish the Lord a victory in this respect." After finishing speaking, he left the tent again, but he was preparing for the feint attack that followed.
Xiao Feng also closed his eyes slightly, sitting on the seat, but he was secretly simulating the scenes of the past in his mind, carefully recalling the scene of every battle with the other party, and this time he must not allow any mistakes.
............
Xuzhou!
Since the Guanghua army left all the way, Shi Tianze led the army all the way north and also came to the land of Xuzhou.
It's just that as soon as he arrived, the county magistrate here immediately reported that he had found the reconnaissance cavalry of the Red Phoenix Army outside the city, and some people spread many rumors in the city, which made the people in the city panic and could not live all day, which forced Shi Tianze to use strong means to restore stability in the entire Xuzhou.
And today, he rode into the city and came directly to the front of the government.
Although Song Zizhen, who was standing on the side, wanted to stop it, the other party looked anxious when she saw it, and she didn't have much thought, so she immediately took this person to Shi Tianze.
"General Qiyu, we have had a conflict with the cavalry of the Red Phoenix Army in Kanhe Town. According to this, I am afraid that the other party is not far from here. The cavalryman looked hurried and panicked, evidently so frightened by the previous battle that he had not recovered now.
Shi Tianze was also a little tricky, and asked, "Then do you know where they are staying?"
"According to the villagers here, those people are currently stationed in Yangzhou, which should be three hundred miles away from where we are. Song Zizhen interjected and replied.
Shi Tianze was puzzled for a moment, and asked again: "Yangzhou, isn't it in Luoyang?"
According to the report of Luoyang officials. It is said that it was because of the stubborn resistance of the people in the city that the Chifeng army did not take it, but chose to go around the city and came to Yangzhou. Song Zizhen shook her head, obviously a little puzzled, she didn't know what the hell this Red Phoenix Army was doing, why did she avoid it?
Shi Tianze thought about it, suddenly laughed, but said, "It seems that this time it's true!"
"Really, General, can you tell me what exactly does that mean?" Song Zizhen stepped forward and looked at each other worriedly.
"If my prediction is correct, the other party should be planning to use Luoyang as bait to lure us to Luoyang. In this way, the other party can take the opportunity to move and directly trap us in Luoyang City. Suddenly, Shi Tianze chuckled, and said again: "It seems that that woman is extremely skilled in using my method of eliminating Li Pu." Fu You sighed in a low voice, and his expression was a little sad: "However, at this time, there is not much food and grass for our army. If you don't get food and grass in time, I'm afraid that when the army is in chaos, it will completely collapse. Alas, it seems that Xiao Feng is holding our three inches of land. ”
"In that case, I don't know how the general plans to break the situation?" Song Zizhen's heart tightened, and she didn't feel very worried.
Now the situation is unclear, not to mention the Xiangyang Mansion, Meng Heng is leading the troops to chase and kill, and now the front is intercepted by the Chifeng Army, if you want to escape smoothly, it is really difficult.
Shi Tianze was not afraid, and immediately complained: "We don't need to worry about Meng Heng's side for the time being. He has his own Zhang Rou to deal with, as for this Red Phoenix Army?" The words paused, and after a moment of silence, he shook the arrogance in his chest, and replied: "Since she has already opened her formation, then I will directly break through! I want to see what means this woman has come up with to prepare to meet my old friend!"
Speaking of old friends, Shi Tianze didn't feel the fighting spirit, but he remembered the scene of the battle between the two sides in the past.
At that time, he relied on his many generals and chased the other party to flee from the south to the north, which can be described as embarrassing.
However, today, the soldiers in his army are already exhausted, even the army's food, grass and ordnance are also exhausted, and it is very unwise to fight with the other party when his life is hanging by a thread and he is about to collapse!
But Shi Tianze only had one life for the sake of the lives of the sergeants and soldiers!
............
Xiangyang Mansion.
"Oh, do you mean that the Red Phoenix Army has already come to Zhengzhou?"
After hearing Gundam's words, Meng Heng's originally solemn face finally showed a smile: "I'm wondering why Shi Tianze left suddenly, it turns out that there is such a reason." Such a way to encircle Wei and save Zhao is really just right!"
Meng Heng was a famous general in the world, so he naturally knew Xiao Feng's intentions.
One is to relieve the crisis of Xiangyang City and fulfill the covenant between the two sides, and the other is to set foot in the Central Plains Xuanhe Chifeng Army and attract the hearts of the people.
This move of killing two birds with one stone is indeed wonderful.
"Then what should we do, and will we recall the Jiao Jin and the others who were dispatched?" asked Gundam again.
"No!" Meng Hui shook his hand and said, "You let them join forces with Li Tingzhi, Lu Wende and others who came from Lin'an City, and attack Zhang Rou's army from behind. In this way, Zhang Rou will fall into the dilemma of being hit on both sides. His eyes were sharp, and he was also high-spirited, and said with a smile: "And I and that person, it's time to settle the account." ”
When Gundam heard this, he immediately leaned down and said, "The last will be ordered!" and immediately stepped back and began to work on the task at hand.
The movement in Xiangyang City was soon learned by the spies placed by Zhang Rou in the city, and was sent to the army overnight.
Hearing the news, Zhang Hongfan also hurried over and complained: "Father. According to the report of the spies, Meng Hui has already begun to dispatch troops, and he is afraid that he will lead troops to attack in the near future. And counting the time, the reinforcements from Lin'an City are also coming. At that time, we will fall into the possibility of being caught between two sides. Faced with this scene, I don't know what my father is planning?"
It seems that Meng Heng is really full of confidence, thinking that this time they will definitely succeed. With a tap on the armrest, Zhang Rou stood up from the seat.
His hands had healed, and his broken fingers had been reconnected, but the scars that would not heal had become a hideous fact that had declared his defeat.
For this matter, although Zhang Rou was unwilling, she also knew that now her strength had been greatly reduced, and Shi Tianze had left from here, and it was categorically difficult to confront Meng Heng with the strength of one person, so she never kept her door out, so as not to show her cowardice.
Zhang Hongfan was extremely worried, just because he saw Zhang Rou's calm expression, he hid the fear in his heart, and said: "Father, do you still have any hole cards?"
"Of course. ”
Fu You took out a small sword from his sleeve, and Zhang Rou slowly said, "This sword is called fish intestines. It is one of the five famous swords in the Spring and Autumn Period, because this sword is very small, only a finger long, but it is pregnant with a force of evil, so it is extremely good at assassination. If you are injured by this knife, even if it is just a small scar, even if the opponent is an earth immortal figure, you will quietly wait for death under the erosion of this evil power. ”
Zhang Hongfan was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Could it be that my father plans to use this sword to kill Meng Heng in the battle?"
Since this sword is so powerful, if it is used in battle, it will definitely be able to catch Meng Heng off guard, and he can't afford to die.
And after losing Meng Hui, how could the Great Song Forbidden Army confront them?
"Humph!"
Zhang Rou snorted coldly, but said, "You, you're still too confident." How powerful is Meng Heng, if he is in battle, he is naturally extremely alert, and he is always running the power of infinite life and destruction. Even if I have the power of the sky, how can I hurt him?"
"If not, even my father. And who else has the ability?"
Zhang Hongfan was troubled for a while, but he didn't know who could hurt Meng Heng in the battle array.
"I can't. But that doesn't mean that others don't have this possibility. ”
Zhang Rou laughed again, the laughter was treacherous, and even more gloomy: "And if this person is someone he believes in and is defenseless, it is more likely." As for who he is, you'll know sooner or later!"
