Chapter 130: Strange E Chongyu
A few hours later, seeing that it was only for the soldiers to die in vain, but there was still no chance to break the city, Huang Feihu finally couldn't bear such a heavy loss, and Ming Jin withdrew his troops, and in an instant, all the big merchant soldiers withdrew like water, leaving behind countless corpses.
The two sides fought fiercely for a long time, it was close to evening at this time, Luo Yue had been hidden in the back of Qishan, the remnant sun was like blood, the afterglow was sprinkled on the tragic battlefield, it was even more poignant and sad, and only a few silent and sad soldiers were left on the battlefield where the sound of fighting was still silent, and the soldiers were quietly collecting the bodies of their dead comrades, some of them were Yin Shang, and some of them were Xiqi, although the two sides were fighting together, but at this time the two were not in any conflict, but they each touched the remains of their comrades on the battlefield to move away.
Compared with the battle between the two sides before the war, the custom of collecting the corpse after the war is more dignified, and it is more abiding by this convention, which is the respect for the deceased, and it is also the hope that when he dies tragically on the battlefield in the future, someone will come to collect the body for him, so that the two sides will not fight at this time, even if they meet, they will only walk aside silently and continue to look for the corpses of their comrades.
Dead on the battlefield, shrouded in horse leather, then someone has to come and wrap the dead with horse leather!
Under the afterglow of the remnant sun, what is left is a silent and desolate picture!
Huang Feihu ascended to the tent and sat down, Shen Gongbao, Su Hu and the others sat below, all silent, the heavy atmosphere was beyond words, everyone's faces were extremely ugly, and the depressing atmosphere was enough to suffocate.
After a long time, Huang Feihu asked in a deep voice, "Su Hou, what is the loss this time?"
"More than 78,000 people were killed in the battle, and more than 12,000 were wounded!" Su Hu reported the results in a muffled voice, and then stopped speaking, this fierce battle, the weight of the loss was several times heavier than his previous battle, Su Hu was also secretly frightened, if he didn't evacuate in time last time, I'm afraid the ending would be similar.
Everyone gasped when they heard this, although they knew that they would definitely lose a lot this time, but they didn't expect it to be so heavy, for a while everyone was speechless, and the atmosphere was even more depressing, and Huang Feihu, as the commander of the three armies, had a gloomy face, black and oppressive, and it was ugly.
After a pause, Shen Gongbao slowly touched his beard and exclaimed: "Although the losses are heavier, I think everyone should have been prepared for a long time, the matter has come to this point, and now it is time to consider how to conduct the future war, with this experience, I am afraid that it will not work, after all, this kind of loss is too great, but it is just a few hours of battle, and our troops will be two out of ten!"
"The order of the Taishi is to fight quickly and without delay, what can I do?" Huang Feihu frowned.
Shen Gongbao was silent for a moment, and replied: "If the Taishi knew such a loss, he would definitely not take a strong attack strategy again, if there is really a hope of breaking the city, the loss is greater, and it doesn't matter if he takes a strong attack strategy, but after a battle today, have you ever seen the opportunity to break the city?"
"Alas, this war is indeed a little impatient, I don't know what the national teacher has to do?" Su Hu asked with a frowning and sighing.
Shen Gongbao thought for a little when he heard this, and then said lightly: "Now Jiang Ziya and the others are huddled in Xiqi City, guarded by heavy turtle shells, it is very difficult to break through that layer of turtle shells, since this is the case, we will find a way to lure the snake out of the hole, let them drill out of the turtle shell by themselves, and then naturally there will be no need to take care of it so much!"
"Lead the snake out of the hole? Our army is now encircling Xiqi City, Jiang Ziya is old and cunning, and he will definitely not go out of the city, and he is determined to adopt a stalemate and consume the patience of our army.
Shen Gongbao listened, his brows tightened again, although he knew that Jiang Ziya would definitely lead the army out of the city to fight Chaoge, but at present, he obviously would not go out of the city, "Is there any way to let Jiang Ziya lead the troops out of the city and get out of this turtle shell?"
While everyone was frowning and pondering, a soldier's hurried voice suddenly came from outside the camp tent: "Report to your lords, the messenger of the Song Taishi has arrived!"
When Huang Feihu heard this, he immediately responded: "The order is coming!"
As soon as the words fell, he walked into a slightly short chubby dun from the outside, and his humble appearance gave people a cute feeling, it was Nian Lingyan, this kid!
"Hehe, I've seen the master! I've seen all the adults!" Nian Lingyan bowed slightly at everyone, and then walked straight to Shen Gongbao, and said, "Master, Senior Sister Jingwei is injured!"
"What?" Shen Gongbao stood up abruptly and said hurriedly, "Seriously, who injured him?"
"I'm fine now, but I'm still recovering from my injuries and haven't fully recovered!"
"Where is she now?"
When Nian Lingyan heard this, his expression was correct, and he said: "Senior sister is now guarding the pass in Sanshanguan Town! Master, E Chongyu has rebelled, Deng Jiugong, the chief soldier of Sanshanguan, was assassinated because of the sudden rebellion of Zhang Shan, Li Jin, Qian Bao and others with a team of soldiers, and then was discovered by Tailuan and others, and they were suppressed in groups, but in the end, all the ordinary soldiers were killed, but Zhang Shan, Li Jin, and Qian Bao escaped from Sanshan Pass and defected to E Chongyu. Soon after Deng Jiugong was assassinated, E Chongyu immediately raised the flag and rebelled, and the troops sent to the Sanshan Pass, attacking and fighting, like a fierce tiger, the city gate was once breached, but fortunately, suddenly Jingwei and Nezha fell from the sky and repelled E Chongyu's army, and now the two are guarding the Sanshan Pass with the assistance of a group of generals!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, Deng Jiugong is a peerless general, who has guarded Sanshan Pass for many years, and has never made any mistakes, but he didn't expect that it was the hand of a villain who died tragically, which is really sad.
What worries everyone even more is that this E Chongyu is really a rebellion, looking at the sudden rebellion of Zhang Shan, Li Jin, and Qian Bao, you can know that this E Chongyu must have been planned for a long time and is menacing.
"What the hell is going on?" said Shen Gongbao in a deep voice.
Nian Lingyan touched his head embarrassedly, and said innocently: "Master, I and Liu'er also just came out of the retreat, and then Liu'er used to look for Jingwei, only to find out that she is now in Sanshan Pass, and then after careful eavesdropping, I knew the cause and effect of the matter, as for the specific process of the matter, Liu'er didn't explain it to me, but hurriedly informed Master Wen Zhong of the matter, although he asked me to come over and inform the master!"
After a pause, Nian Lingyan remembered something again, and exclaimed: "By the way, Taishi also said that Zhang Guifang, the guard of Qinglong Pass, has led 200,000 troops to Sanshan Pass to help at night. ”
"Do you know who Jingwei was injured?" Shen Gongbao said suspiciously, now Jingwei's strength is not weak, ordinary people can't get close to him at all, Yi Shen Gongbao is very puzzled, "What is the sacred?"
"E Chongyu!" Nian Lingyan immediately returned.
"E Chongyu?" Shen Gongbao exclaimed.
I saw Nian Lingyan nodding affirmatively, and said, "This is what Liu'er said, it shouldn't be wrong!"
Shen Gongbao suddenly felt a dark cloud flashing over his head, although this E Chongyu is a member of the four princes, but he is just an ordinary man, how can he have the ability to injure Jingwei, frowned, and after a moment of deep groaning, Shen Gongbao knew that there must be a secret in it, but obviously Nian Lingyan knew very little about this kid, and he had to rush to Sanshan Pass himself to know the specific information.
"What instructions does the Grand Master have?" asked Shen Gongbao again.
After hearing this, Nian Lingyan said humbly: "The master asked the master to go to Sanshan Pass as soon as possible, because E Chongyu's soldiers also have some problems, they seem to be fierce and abnormal, and they are not afraid of death!"
Shen Gongbao didn't know how many times he frowned, he only knew that there must have been a big change in Nandu, and there was a faint bad guess in his heart, maybe the matter of Nandu was more tricky than Xiqi, and the threat was more powerful.
"National teacher, although E Chongyu has the talent of a general, but his skills are ordinary, he does not have much wisdom, he has more than enough to defend, and his attack is insufficient, there must be something strange in this, I am afraid that there are strangers in it, so the national teacher will rush to Sanshan Pass first, as for here, I am not ready to attack in a short time, I am ready to retreat as an advance, retreat to Shouyang Mountain, and then make other plans!" Huang Feihu said slowly.
Shen Gongbao thought about it a little, and it was also a way to retreat to retreat, and he retreated to Shouyang Mountain, and there was also a way to solve it in terms of supply, but this Jiang Ziya was afraid that he would not send troops easily.
"Huh?" Shen Gongbao suddenly wondered, "Maybe the matter of Nandu is also an opportunity!"
"How do you say this?" Huang Feihu wondered, and the rest of the people also looked at Shen Gongbao when they heard this.
Shen Gongbao smiled lightly and said: "Now that the southern capital is rebelling, and the big businessmen are taking care of both ends, they will be distracted a lot, isn't this the best time for Jiang Ziya to fight back?"
After a pause, Shen Gongbao said again: "But Jiang Ziya, this old fox has always been cautious, I'm afraid that before the situation is unclear, he won't easily send troops, so we need to give him a little confidence, so that he knows that after he sends troops, he has the hope of breaking Chaoge!"
"But I don't know what the national teacher's plan is, and come quickly!" Huang Feihu said happily.
Shen Gongbao shook his head and sighed: "This plan needs to be decided only after Poor Dao has seen the matter of Nandu, otherwise he will act rashly, I am afraid that it will put the big business in a two-headed crisis!"
Then Shen Gongbao made a joke and said: "Everyone, the poor road will rush to Sanshan Pass, and the matter of Xiqi will be handed over to you!" After that, Shen Gongbao said lightly to Huang Feihu: "The person King Wucheng wants to find has accidentally left the city before, and is in Xiqi City at this time, if possible, I hope King Wucheng will recall him back to Dashang!"
When Huang Feihu heard this, he said happily: "If I see this son, I will definitely let him work for Dashang!"
Shen Gongbao bowed slightly, and then flew away with Nian Lingyan looking at Sanshan Pass
Xiqi, on the seven halls, the atmosphere is also dull, this battle, Xiqi also lost a lot, according to some statistics, the number of dead and wounded soldiers is as high as nearly 50,000, which really makes Jiang Ziya very depressed.
Just as Jiang Ziya and the others were summing up the experience of this war, Huang Tianhua led a person into the seven halls and shouted to Jiang Ziya: "Uncle Shiran, the people have been brought safely!"
I saw that the person who came was dressed in plain clothes, and his eyebrows showed a trace of gloom, his appearance was somewhat similar to Chongheihu, this person was not someone else, it was now Caozhou Hou Chongyingluan, who was the son of Chongheihu, since the death of Chongheihu, Chongyingluan promptly showed to Chaoge that his father was only bewitched by Jiang Ziya to make such a mistake, and hurriedly wrote to Chongying Biao, so that he could see the friendship between Chong's family and exonerate him, this Chongying Biao remembered that Chonghou Hu and Chonghei Tiger are both dead now, and the grievances and grievances cannot be clarified, after all, his father did make a mistake, and Chongheihu for the reputation of Chong's family to use a strategy to frame himself and his father is also understandable, not really ignoring the friendship between brothers, and thinking of Chongheihu three times and twice to save his father and son in fire and water, so he wrote a song and exonerated Chongyingluan.
In this way, Wen Zhong also let Chongying Luan continue to be the Marquis of Caozhou, after all, Caozhou has been operated by Chong Heihu for many years, if it is replaced, I am afraid that there will be twists and turns in a short time, and it is not bad to let Chongying Luan continue to serve as the Marquis of Caozhou, besides, Caozhou is just a small prince's land, in the hinterland of the big business, even if Chongying Luan has any changes, the Chaoge army can annihilate it at any time.
However, it is obvious that Chongying Luan is a duplicitous person, and he still surrenders on the surface, but in fact, he hates his father's death very much in his heart, so he looks at the Xiqi war and wants to take refuge in Xiqi and avenge his father's death!
However, because Wen Zhong was not very relieved of Chongying Luan, he sent someone to watch it secretly, and Chongying Luan was also vigilant, so he kept it safe until Su Hu lifted the blockade of Xiqi last time, and Chongying Luan spent a lot of trouble to let his henchmen go to Xiqi with makeup, and sent a letter to Jiang Ziya.
After Jiang Ziya received the letter, he did not immediately send someone to pick up Chongying Luan, but after repelling Su Hu, he let Huang Tianhua secretly go to Caozhou, and unknowingly picked up Chongying Luan, and when Chongying Luan came, he also let his henchmen about 50,000 people, all of whom were disguised as various people to withdraw from Caozhou and seek an opportunity to go to Xiqi.
"I've seen the prime minister, my lords!" Chongying Luan said.
Jiang Ziya smiled faintly and said, "Welcome to the arrival of the virtuous son, the old man is also deeply saddened!"
When Chongying Luan heard this, he did not hide his resentment at all, and said with a fierce light in his eyes: "The hatred of killing his father is not shared, Ying Luan will definitely eradicate Chongying Biao, a thief, in this life and overthrow Yin Shang!"
Then he said to Jiang Ziya: "There are still more than 50,000 people under Ying Luan's subordinates who are still quietly coming and going to Xiqi, and I hope that the prime minister will order someone to answer at that time!"
"It must be!" Jiang Ziya said with a smile, there was a new force to support, Jiang Ziya couldn't help but be happy.
Now that he has joined Xiqi, Chongying Luan has to think about Xiqi, and Chongying Luan said: "Prime Minister, now Xiqi is trapped in the city by the Yin Shang army, and it is not a way to go on for so long, we must open the encirclement of Yin Shang and seek a breakthrough!"
"The virtuous son is polite, but now Xiqi's manpower and material resources are not as good as Yin Shang, and he can't match Yin Shang, but he has to slowly figure it out!"
Chongying Luan said lightly: "Ying Luan just received the news before, Nanbohou E Chongyu rebelled against the court, and now he is attacking Sanshan Pass, Deng Jiugong has also died, it is expected that the city will be broken soon, the prime minister can order someone to go to form an alliance with E Chongyu, and then he will help the prime minister, so that the dilemma of Xiqi can be solved!"
"Is this true?" Jiang Ziya said happily.
"How dare Ying Luan bully the prime minister!"
"Haha!" Jiang Ziya laughed, "God help me! God bless Xiqi!" Jiang Ziya shouted, and after a long time, Jiang Ziya looked around and said, "In this way, you should indeed order someone to go and form an alliance with the southern capital E Chongyu and advance and retreat together, but I don't know who to send?"
At this time, San Yisheng said: "Prime Minister, let me go with the eldest prince!"
When Jiang Ziya heard this, he nodded, "With the doctor's ability, he is enough to be competent in this matter, and let the eldest prince go in person, firstly, with the eldest prince's current ability, it is also enough to protect the two doctors, and secondly, it can also show my Xiqi's sincerity, but I don't know what the eldest prince wants?"
When Bo Yi Kao heard this, he bowed his head slightly, and said, "Okay, let me say goodbye to my teacher, and then set off with the doctor!"
Then Jiang Ziya pondered for a moment, his expression moved, and he said to Tuxing Sun: "Senior nephew, your earth escape technique is very mysterious, this trip is afraid that Dr. Sanyisheng and the eldest prince will meet a strong person, and please go to the southern capital together!"
When Tuxing Sun heard this, he immediately said, "Yes, uncle!"
Jiang Ziya hoped to take this opportunity to transfer the obscene guy Tuxingsun to another place for a while, because according to Jiang Ziya's own analysis, Huang Feihu should not attack the city again in a short period of time, after all, Xiqi suffered heavy losses this time, and Huang Feihu's army, as the besieging party, must have suffered even more heavy losses.
In this way, instead of letting the obscene guy stay in the city and disturb the people, it is better to let him go to the outside world to toss for a while, for this Tuxing Sun, Jiang Ziya also has a headache, I don't know what to do, and I once secretly pondered whether to let him return to Jialong Mountain, so as not to help him more and more, because Jiang Ziya happened to hear some people talking about this Tuxing Sun actually once had a fascination with Ji Fa's wife, trying to be weird, when Jiang Ziya heard about this, the horrified soul did not possess the body, and almost vomited blood and died。
But the so-called Jiangshan is easy to change his original surname and difficult to change, and it didn't take long for Tuxingsun to wander around the city again, and his eyes were dazzling everywhere, so that Jiang Ziya was helpless and sighed.
Seeing that Tuxingsun agreed, Jiang Ziya smiled slightly, touched his beard with satisfaction, and then Bo Yi Kao said goodbye and withdrew from the Seven Palaces, returned to the mansion, and told the Qinglian Daoist who was still "recuperating" about the matter, and the Qinglian Daoist listened to it, and pondered for a moment before saying: "You go to be careful, safety is the most important!" By the way, investigate the affairs of the southern capital, Xiqi wants to rise, you must first overthrow Chaoge, and then this Nandu is Xiqi's biggest opponent, and it is always good to be the first to understand!"
"Yes, teacher, you should calm down and recuperate!Apprentice will go to Nandu with Dr. San Yisheng!" After that, Bo Yi Kao simply cleaned up, took the seven deadly sins, and quietly set off with San Yisheng and Tuxingsun.
In the Boyi Kao Mansion, Qinglian Daoist frowned slightly, secretly pondering the affairs of the Southern Capital, after thinking for a long time, he didn't know much about the details, and he could only wait for Boyi Kao to come back, and then he pulled his thoughts back to the situation in Xiqi, expecting that Jiang Ziya would not send troops in a short time.
"Well, when Jiang Ziya is ready to send troops, he should also 'heal', otherwise he will definitely arouse Jiang Ziya's suspicion!" "Qinglian Dao people have been pretending to be seriously injured and hiding in the Bo Yi Kao Mansion before, avoiding the opportunity to make a move, so that Shen Gongbao and others have a better chance of breaking the city, but obviously even without Qinglian Dao people, Shen Gongbao and others still can't break the city.
"Hmph! Since this is the case, Poor Dao will think about a plan to disintegrate Xiqi's interior!" Qinglian Daoist snorted coldly, and then closed his eyes and pondered, how to fool Huang Tianhua out of the city, go to see Huang Feihu, let him know his life experience, if possible, send Huang Tianhua back to Yin Shang's side, which also greatly damaged Xiqi's strength
The white clouds rolled, the sea of fog leaped, and Nian Lingyan ambushed Shengong Leopard in the depths of the clouds and mist, flying at a gallop, directly breaking through the heavy clouds and mist, and flying towards the place of the Three Mountains Pass.
At the speed of the year's flames, the two of them came to the top of the Sanshan Pass, and after falling into the clouds, the two of them flashed in an instant and appeared above the pass, but they saw a forest of soldiers on the wall, all holding spears and bows and arrows, staring at the outside with solemn expressions, beware of someone raiding.
At first sight, Shen Gongbao and the two arrived, these soldiers were shocked, and before they could react, they were stopped by a red smiling figure, because this red shadow is an idol who helps them guard the pass for several days, if it is not for this red shadow even if it appears, I am afraid that the Sanshan Pass has been broken by E Chongyu and others.
Needless to say, this person is the little girl Jingwei, I saw Jingwei turn into a red shadow and pounce into Shen Gongbao's arms, whimpering: "Master, woo"
Shen Gongbao smiled faintly, put his arms around Jingwei, patted him on the back, and said, "Okay, the teacher is here, and tell me what happened, and seek justice for the teacher!"
"Hmm!" Jingwei replied softly, and then put his arm around Shen Gongbao's arm, and said with a smile: "Master, let's go to the main hall and talk!"
Then he spit out his fragrant tongue at Nian Lingyan and said, "Senior Brother Nian, you have to help me beat that guy hard!"
Shen Gongbao and the two couldn't help but smile when they saw this, and walked under the city wall with Jingwei, and after a while, they saw Nezha and a group of generals also hurrying over, and after saluting Shen Gongbao, they led Shen Gongbao to the main hall together.
Before Shen Gongbao entered the main hall, he saw a plain woman dressed in filial piety clothes kneeling in front of him, only to hear her mournful whimper: "National teacher, you are a powerful person, I hope you will seek justice for my father!"
"Miss Deng, please get up!"
This person is Deng Chanyu, who has had a relationship with Shen Gongbao, only to see that the original woman did not let her eyebrows, and the heroic and sassy girl no longer exists, leaving only a delicate face with pear blossoms and rain, with a poignant and sad, weak and delicate body trembling uncontrollably, obviously Deng Jiugong's sudden death made him very sad.
"Miss Deng, please rest assured, Mr. Deng will not die in vain!"
"Hmm!" Deng Chanyu replied firmly, with a thick color of resentment between her eyebrows, and her eyes full of hatred made Shen Gongbao sigh, obviously the smart and happy Deng Chanyu was afraid that she would never come back, and what she left behind was just a vengeful girl.
Without saying anything more, Shen Gongbao shook his head slightly, and continued to walk towards the main hall with everyone.
(To be continued)
