The internal manager, Zhongshu Ling Yang Jingzhong, who was jointly captured by Xiahou Lingyu and Yu Fu, had his acupoints tapped and tied up. Yang Jingzhong's face was stained with blood. After the fierce fight just now, he was hit by Yu Fu twice. He was hit by Xiahou Lingyu's sword, but he also slapped Xiahou Lingyu and punched Yu Fu. Moreover, he also killed seven or eight female sumo wrestlers. But in the end, he was still exhausted and was captured .Because Shen Xiaoyu of Luoyu Pavilion led a large number of Luoyu Pavilion masters and sent Yang Jingzhong to Dongwei.

Yang Jingzhong's hair was disheveled and his purple robe was in tatters. Yang Jingzhong cursed loudly: "You guys, you guys, you fake the imperial edict and plot against our family! We want to see the emperor!" Yang Jingzhong still refused to believe Yu. It would be Yin Guang's idea for Fu and Xiahou Lingyu to join forces. You must know that the victory over King Pingxi was the result of the three-party alliance between Yang Jingzhong, the emperor, and Tang Jiusheng.

King Pingxi was able to capture him without hesitation, and Yang Jingzhong was a meritorious minister! Besides, without him Yang Jingzhong, would the emperor have the status he has today? Without him, Yang Jingzhong, the emperor would have died more than eight years ago. The queen's gangsters were in the hands of the queen! The emperor was grateful to him and respected him as his father-in-law. He also made him Duke Chengguo, made him Zhongshu Ling, and made him in charge of the Eastern Wei...

He, Yang Jingzhong, is the established emperor of the Great Shang Kingdom, but how is all this happening in front of him possible! How could Yang Jingzhong be convinced? Yang Jingzhong still clamored to see the emperor. Yang Jingzhong believed that Yu Fu, Xiahou Lingyu and others People were conspiring to assassinate him. As long as he met the emperor, he would be released! After all, the emperor had talked to him a few days ago and asked him if he wanted a prince when he left the palace to retire. At that time, he refused. Yes, because he has not yet left the palace to take care of his old age. He still has many things he wants to do.

In the afternoon, the four gates of the capital posted a list, and the people were shocked. Yin Quan, the king of Pingxi, was captured, deprived of his title, and imprisoned in Tianlao. Yang Jingzhong, the chief internal officer, was captured and imprisoned in Tianlao. In one day, the two most powerful people in the Great Shang Empire The powerful people were captured without help, and the common people knew that the Great Shang Kingdom had finally changed. The seemingly cowardly Emperor finally showed his true face and his fangs.

The next day, the East Neiwei Department, which was in chaos, was taken over by Mr. Yu Fuyu. Wei Dehai, the deputy eunuch general manager, became the new eunuch general manager. Wei Dehai finally sat on the throne of the eunuch general manager that he had dreamed of, and he was so happy that he couldn't stop talking. No longer close.

The news that Yin Quan and Yang Jingzhong had been captured was sent to various Dashang, prefectures and counties through post roads. From near to far, the news soon reached the entire Dashang Kingdom, and Emperor Yin Guang officially took over the throne.

The Imperial Palace of Anshu County in Jiannan Road is heavily guarded. In the Mingyi Hall, there are Commander Xin Zhiping of Xiaowei, Princess Ximen Yushuang, Princess Du Ruo, Princess Yin Ruonan, Princess Qingchuan Yin Mei, deputy envoys Qi Siyuan and Anshu. General Jin Chengzhang, the palace's great counselors Qiao Chongliang, Xu Zichu, and the new Anshu County Governor Fan Chenglin and others gathered together.

Xin Zhiping said with a serious expression: "Everyone, the brothers of Xiaowei have reported back from Yuzhou City that the Southwest Road has begun to mobilize troops on a large scale. After learning about the news that Yin Quan was imprisoned in Yong'an City, Yin Yueheng, the prince of Pingxi, decided to The troops are rising. Yin Yueheng has the support of Wan Deyan behind him, Cheng Jijia and others as the masterminds, and Jian Gaozhong and others as the fierce generals. As long as he raises the troops, our Jiannan Road will be the first to bear the brunt! Especially Jiangzhou County, there is no way to avoid it. One disaster, the prince is not at home at this time, let’s see, what are we going to do next?”

Qiao Chongliang and Xu Zichu looked at each other, and Qiao Chongliang cleared his throat, "Commander, as the saying goes, when soldiers come, they will be blocked, and when water comes, the soil will cover them. We only need to increase our troops towards Jiangzhou! After all, Jiangzhou City is surrounded by mountains on both sides, and there is another mountain in the south.

The Yuluan River can be used as a natural barrier to block the Southwest Dao army. As long as we hold off the rebels in Jiangzhou and wait for reinforcements to arrive, everything will be easy to handle!"

Fan Chenglin shook his head and said: "Mr. Qiao, the Yuluan River is a natural hazard, but if more than 50,000 troops are gathered on the Southwest Road, the Yuluan River alone cannot stop the rebels. Hey, everyone, please look!" Fan Chenglin stood up and said,

He came to the huge sand table on the ground, picked up a long wooden stick, and pointed at the Yuluan River outside Jiangzhou City, "Everyone, please see, the area around the Yuluan River is full of hilly red soil. Such hilly terrain cannot

The danger can be defended, and the rebels can be stopped for one day at most! And how many days can this river stop the rebels?"

Jin Chengzhang also stood up, came to the sand table, looked at the sand table and said: "The art of war has it, attack it halfway across the river, and when the rebels have crossed halfway across the river, you can send out troops.

Attack. But this is where the difficulty lies. These hills are not big mountains and cannot hide many soldiers and horses. As long as the opponent sends out scouts, our ambush will be discovered. Moreover, there is no shortage of military masters on the other side. If you want to ambush here,

The enemy is somewhat difficult to do."

Jin Chengzhang pointed at Jiangzhou City and said: "There is another problem. If we stick to Jiangzhou, after all, Jiangzhou City is so big. How many soldiers, horses and food can it accommodate? What Jiangzhou can rely on is that there are jade in the east and west directions.

There is a river to the south of Luan Mountain, and Tong'an County to the west is a county town with a population of 30,000. The city's military strength plus the government officials is about 3,000 soldiers and horses. This city will definitely not be able to hold it in the end. It depends on the situation.

How many days can I last?"

Xu Zichu scratched his head and said softly: "Brother Qiao and I talked about Tong'an County. This county will definitely not be defended. As long as the rebels tear open Tong'an County, they can bypass Jiangzhou from the west of Jiangzhou City.

By walking more than a hundred miles, you can reach the north gate of Jiangzhou. Even if you don't capture Jiangzhou, you can still take a detour and march north to attack Huzhou. Apart from the city wall, Huzhou has no danger to defend. As a land of plenty, Huzhou has

It’s almost certain to be lost.”

Qi Siyuan smiled and said: "I am an amateur at leading troops in combat. I just want to ask, in a situation like Huzhou, can we gather troops and horses there to fight the rebels? Let's block him under the city of Huzhou.

After all, Huzhou is a large place and can accommodate a lot of soldiers and horses. Can’t we build more camps for him, hide them deep in the barriers, and prepare more food and fodder for the soldiers and horses? If they want to avoid the battle and take a detour, we will follow them and pursue them!”

Jin Chengzhang sighed: "The problem is that our soldiers and horses are not as elite as the soldiers and horses of the Southwest Road. Our soldiers and horses have only been trained for a year or two, while the soldiers and horses on the opposite side have been trained for at least eight years. Our soldiers and horses may be able to defend the city.

, fighting in the field outside the city will definitely suffer losses! Once the chasing enemy troops are surrounded by counterattacks, they will collapse in an instant! Not to mention the loss of troops and horses, it will also have a huge impact on morale! Moreover, the imperial court will not have many troops to reinforce us.

, after all, there is King Yin Ao of Zhou in the north, and Yin Chun, King of Lingnan, is watching covetously in the southeast!"

The beautiful Princess Qingchuan smiled charmingly and said: "I am a womanizer, and I am not good at fighting. According to what General Jin said, our Jiannan Road is still a bit dangerous?"

Jin Chengzhang smiled and said: "Of course there is danger. The most important thing is that the prince is not at home now. If the prince is here, he has the right to mobilize several soldiers and horses nearby, but we can't do that now. We can only stay in Jiannan

This limited number of troops will make a fuss immediately! Anshu County, at the end of the day, can save more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, Jianzhou County can save more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and Luye City only has about 7,000 or 8,000 people at this time.

, Huzhou Prefecture only has about seven or eight thousand elite soldiers."

Jin Chengzhang pointed to the other states, "Finally, we in Jiannan Road can gather about 50,000 troops, but we have to defend eight big cities, not counting the other counties.

It's like spreading out pancakes, very thin and weak! It's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without straw! But the enemy can concentrate superior forces and attack only one city or one place."

Ximen Yushuang suddenly flashed her big eyes and said: "General Jin, I am a practical person. I won't talk so much. Let's simplify the complicated. No matter how many cities there are, how many cities must be defended?"

Jin Chengzhang looked at the sand table and said with a tangled expression: "Jiangzhou, in my eyes, is a place that must be defended, and I must do everything possible to defend it. Huzhou cannot be defended, and Luye City cannot be defended in the end. Lianshan County,

Try to defend Anshu County as much as possible, because it is the location of the royal palace, so it must be defended. If Anshu is lost, Jiannan will be shaken, and people's hearts will be scattered. Due to the terrain, Jianzhou is easy to defend but difficult to attack. General Shui Rulong and others can defend it.

There. That could eventually become a base for a counterattack."

Du Ruo also stood up, squatted in front of the sand table, looked at Xuantong where his princess mansion was, and asked softly: "Where are Xuantong and Songshan County?"

Jin Chengzhang said with determination: "Due to geographical reasons, Xuantong can be strategically abandoned. The same goes for Songshan. The cities that must be defended are Anshu, Jianzhou, Jiangzhou, and Lianshan. As long as these counties are still there

In our hands, the rebels will be very painful. Of course, we will also suffer if the other counties are lost, but we can drag the rebels to Jiannan so that they dare not go north. Because we can stab them in the back at any time.

Knife, cut off their food and grass, unless... they don't even want the southwest road!"

In Jiangzhou, Tong'an County, the current magistrate Tong Liang has been evacuating the population and moving the people in the city to Jiangzhou City. Tong Liang Station is already a top three Jinshi

On the city wall of Tong'an County, looking towards the direction of Yuzhou City. Standing next to Tong Liang was Li Dachui, who was already eighteen years old. Li Dachui was already more than half a head taller than Tong Liang at this time. Li Dachui was holding a big iron rod in his hand, and his body was covered with blood.

Muscle mass. After years of training in the military, Li Dachui has become much more mature and stable.

Li Dachui looked excited and said with a smile: "Brother Tong, there is going to be a battle now!"

Tong Liang stared in the direction of Yuzhou, thoughtfully, and nodded after a while: "There is a war going to be fought, and the people are going to suffer too! I don't like fighting, but now we have to fight. And this is Tong'an County.

, it cannot be defended in the end! So I moved all the people to Jiangzhou. Although many of them were reluctant, I still had to let them go, because I was worried that the pervert Yin Yueheng would do something to massacre the city after he suffered a loss.

!”

Standing behind Tong Liang are the three guards of the former Jingnan Wang Yinbu, the eldest Zhang Wenshan, the second oldest Zhang Wenhai, and the third youngest Zhang Wenhe. These three people were recruited by Xin Zhiping and were all sent to Jiang at this time.

He served in the state and was sent here by the county governor Jin Dazhong to assist Tong Liang in defending the city.

Zhang Wenshan said with a worried look: "If Tongzhi County and Prince Pingxi raise troops, they will have to have at least 50,000 troops. How many days can our little Tong'an City hold on?"

Tong Liang chuckled lightly, "Maybe it can be defended for seven to ten days. If the siege city opposite has enough siege equipment such as thunderbolt chariots, it would be great to be able to defend it for three days!"

Zhang Wenhai, the second oldest, couldn't help but trembled after hearing Tong Liang's words. If he couldn't hold on for three days, would these three thousand soldiers and horses be left? There would be no way to escape!

Tong Liang suddenly let out a heavy breath and sneered: "Who said I have to defend the city? When the prince left, he told me to do things easily and not to stick to the art of war. Therefore, I will not lead you to defend Tong'an City.

.Everyone’s life is life. If we can’t defend it, everyone will die here, so what’s the point? I won’t defend this city anymore!”

Li Dachui was surprised and said: "Brother Tong, Abandoned City is about to turn around!"

Tong Liang said in a deep voice: "Yes, that's the truth! But it's not worth putting everyone here in a city that can't be defended! When the prince left, he asked me to do something easy, just because he didn't want us to defend it.

This Tong'an City! But it's okay to defend Jiangzhou! Sledgehammer, you go and order some troops, we can't defend this city anymore, let's set off and do something else!"

Zhang Wenhai asked doubtfully: "Are we going to Jiangzhou now?"

Tong Liang laughed and said: "I'm going to Jiangzhou eventually, but I'm not going yet. Let's go to Yuzhou now!"

"Ah? Going to Yuzhou?" The three Zhang brothers looked at each other and were dumbfounded. Prince Pingxi's palace was gathering heavy troops in Yuzhou. Going to Yuzhou at this time is not asking for death. The third Zhang Wenhe murmured: "Tongzhi County, we

Why are you going to Yuzhou?"

Tong Liang smiled and said: "Of course it's a war! Who said that in a war, you have to defend the city? Can't you take the initiative to attack? Oh, Yuzhou City has heavy troops, so we don't dare to go? That's right, we only have three thousand soldiers

Ma, no one in Yuzhou City would have thought that we would have the guts to attack him! But I am going to attack him anyway! What do you think I am doing by dragging the army around to exercise my mobility in the past two years? Just for the sake of it.

What a day! Tan Ma came to report that fifty miles outside Yuzhou City, there are grain and grass piled up by Prince Pingxi's Mansion. I want to take you to set a fire for him to celebrate!"

When Li Dachui heard that there was a battle, he was very excited. He jumped up and said: "Okay! No problem! I'll order troops right away!" The three Zhang brothers looked at Tong Liang as if they were crazy. The courage of this county magistrate

, too fat!

Historical records record: On the 16th day of the twelfth lunar month in the eighth year of the Great Shang Dynasty, Tong Liang, the magistrate of Tong'an County, Li Dachui, Zhang Wenshan, and Zhang Wenhe led their troops to disguise themselves as troops from the Southwest Road and made a surprise attack at night on the grain and grass supplies of Prince Pingxi, fifty miles outside Yuzhou City.

camp, celebrated with a fire and ignited the war. They also annihilated the two thousand defenders of the grain and grass camp. By the time the reinforcements from Yuzhou City arrived, a large amount of grain and grass had been burned to ashes.

Yuzhou's 5,000 elite soldiers pursued the attack, and were ambushed by Zhang Wenhai's troops at Yuluan Pass. The Yuzhou soldiers were defeated, losing more than a thousand soldiers and horses, and retreated in embarrassment. Yin Yueheng, who proclaimed himself the emperor of Youheng Kingdom, was furious and refused to listen in anger.
