Chapter 193: Pingfan (5)(1/2)

 It’s not enough to boast about the dirty past,

Today, my dissolute thoughts are boundless.

The spring breeze is proud of the horse's hoof disease,

See all the flowers in Chang'an in one day.

At a bohemian age, the horse's hooves are triumphant in the spring breeze. The handsome and upright Wang Qijun got up from the brocade quilt, stood up like a carp, washed and changed clothes.

"Second Young Master, won't you sleep a little longer?"

Hu Ji's lazy, soft voice came from the brocade quilt, and a pair of alluring jade arms were exposed outside the quilt, like two white and tender lotus roots.

Wang Qijun laughed, lifted up the brocade quilt, and kissed Hu Ji hard on her pink face.

"Be careful, if you want to sleep alone for a while. I have to go back to the military camp first, and I will see you later."

Putting down a piece of silver, the second young master Wang walked out of Yihongyuan, took his personal entourage, whipped his horse and whip, and returned to the military camp.

Wang Qijun joined the army at the age of sixteen, and he is now nineteen, the age when he can be proud of himself.

The young man from other families, at this age, is either studying at home or traveling around. But he is already a general commanding 40,000 troops.

With no other choice, Wang Xiang fell into Zhu Hengjia's alienation scheme and could not trust generals with different surnames, so he made his second son the commander-in-chief of the West Route Army, commanding 30,000 troops.

Hearing that the Ming army was attacking his allies Yuan Yun and Wu Dading, he was so worried that he had to save him. Wang Dashuai sent his confidant Liu Zhifu to lead 10,000 troops to join Wang Qirun and attack Yongning to support Yuan Tao and Wu Dading.

Unexpectedly, when the 40,000-strong army arrived at Erlang Dam in the west of Bozhou, Wang Qiyou suddenly stopped leaving. He handed over all military affairs to Liu Zhifu, and he slept among flowers every day, and the sky was dark and the earth was dark, so unhappy.

"Oh, Second Young Master, we are facing a formidable enemy. How can you sleep in flowers and willows every day and delay the military plan?"

General Liu Zhifu hated the fact that iron could not become steel, and he was heartbroken.

Although Wang Xiang had doubts about generals with different surnames, Liu Zhifu was an exception. This man had followed Wang Xiang for many years and worked hard without complaint. Marshal Wang never doubted his loyalty to him.

Wang Qitun smiled: "Uncle Liu, do you also think that this kid is ridiculous and will delay the military plane?"

Liu Zhifu snorted and said with a tigerish face: "You drink wine and go to the brothels every day, don't you delay the military plane? In the end, I will see that you not only delayed the military plane, but also shaken the morale of the military!"

Wang Qitun laughed loudly: "Uncle Liu, if you think so, Hou Yongxi on the other side must think so too. The time has come to cross the river!"

Liu Zhifu was stunned: "Second Young Master, what do you mean?"

Wang Chitun said seriously: "During these days, I have been sleeping among flowers and willows, pretending to be ridiculous, just to confuse Hou Yongxi. He deceived me when I was young, and saw that I was acting ridiculously, so he was not prepared. This is a good opportunity to defeat the enemy!"

I am sending an order to my general that in the early morning of tomorrow, the whole army will cross the Chishui River by force. If you can't retreat, you will be killed!"

After giving the order, Wang Chidan walked out of the tent with great leaps and bounds.

Looking at Wang Qi'an's mighty and domineering back, Liu Zhifu sighed: "The tiger father has no dog son, the second young master is really like the marshal back then!"

Hearing that Wang Xiang's troops had arrived on the east bank of the Chishui River, Ming general Hou Yongxi hurriedly led 10,000 men to set up defenses along the west bank of the Chishui River.

Hou Yongxi was originally a small vassal town in the Xuanfu Division of Yongning, Sichuan, and was awarded the title of Deputy General of Yongning. Seeing that the court was determined to reduce the vassalage, he saw that the general trend was unstoppable, so he took the initiative to request the court to send officials to manage the civil affairs of Yongning, and he started to do so honestly.

He didn't dare to think of separatist rule after defeating ordinary generals. Zhu Hengjia saw that he was respectful and did not treat him badly. He promoted him from deputy general of Yongning to commander-in-chief of Yongning. Firstly, it was to appease him; secondly, it was also to provide relief to others.

Fanzhen sets an example.

In the west, in addition to the general troops of the Ming army, Hou Yongxi, who was stationed in Xuanfu Si Linzhou, Yongning, the deputy general Chen Bao's troops were stationed in Yongning Guards, and the general troops of the Ming Dynasty, Peng Mingyang, were stationed in Luzhou Prefecture. The total strength was about 30,000.

Hou Yongxi came to the west bank of Chishui River to find out who the enemy general on the other side was. The scout came to report and said that the commander of the army was Wang Xiang's second son, 19-year-old Wang Qitun.

Hou Yongxi was so happy that he cried: "Wang Ruiwu, Wang Ruiwu, you don't need so many veterans, but you actually sent your little boy here! A nineteen-year-old kid goes to the battlefield, don't be scared and pee your robe. Hahaha!"



However, as a veteran general, Hou Yongxi still sent scouts to the other side to investigate.

As a result, the scout came again to report that the second son of the Wang family did not like to stay in the military camp. Instead, he went to the brothel every day to look for flowers and willows.

"That way, I have nothing to worry about!"

Hou Yongxi was completely relieved and no longer patrolled the camp every day as before, and his armaments were greatly weakened.

Chishui River was famous as the "Fine Wine River" in the Ming Dynasty. Its water quality is sweet and suitable for wine making.

Wang Qijun came to the river and took a sip of river water, "'Glow-in-the-dark cup of grape wine, if you want to drink Pipa, hurry up'! Get on the boat!"

"Second Young Master, let the general go first, and you may take the rear," Liu Zhifu said.

"Uncle Liu, I am the commander-in-chief. If the commander-in-chief does not take the lead, the three armies will not move forward!"

After saying this, Wang Chidun boarded the boat, raised his flag, and headed for the west bank of Chishui River.

Seeing that the young general was not afraid of death, all the troops in the king's army were excited, and rowed boats one by one to the other side.

In the early morning, the thick fog rising from the Chishui River covered the whereabouts of the army well.

Wang Qitun and Liu Zhifu had already boarded the shore, formed their formation, and fought to the gate of the camp before the Ming army discovered it.

"Enemy attack!"

The sentry screamed and sounded the alarm. Just after shouting a few times, the royal army chopped down the watchtower and the sentry fell heavily.

Hou Yongxi was awakened and had no time to put on his clothes. He was barefoot and was carried by the defeated army to flee to Linzhou City.

In this battle, the royal army suffered more than 100 casualties, the Ming army suffered 2,000 casualties and 3,000 were captured.

Fleeing to Linzhou, Hou Yongxi gathered the defeated troops, and together with the Linzhou defenders, the number of soldiers and horses was less than 5,000.

"Hahaha, this Hou Yongxi has dominated the country for many years, but he didn't expect to be so vulnerable." All the generals congratulated Wang Qilun in unison.

Wang Qitun said seriously: "To fight, you have to work hard. I want to conquer Linzhou again. Can you still fight?"

"I am willing to fight to the death with the Major General!"

"Okay, I'll capture Linzhou City and reward each of you with an Orchid." Wang Chidun laughed loudly and cursed a few more curse words.

Don't tell me, this guy in the army just did this. With a few words of teasing, he immediately forgot about his fatigue and went straight to Linzhou to kill.

Set up ladders on three sides to attack the city, leaving the west city unattacked to demoralize the defenders.

The king's army attacked too fiercely, and the Ming army lost its fighting spirit.

Hou Yongxi had no choice but to lead the remaining troops to flee from the west gate.

You run away from me, but the young and energetic Wang Qijun pursues him relentlessly, vowing to kill Hou Yongxi.

After chasing to the vicinity of Dishui Small Town, Hou Yongxi only had a few dozen soldiers left.

"Da da da", Wang Qijun's pursuers have arrived.

"My life is at an end!"

Hou Yongxi was so sleepy that he could no longer run, so he closed his eyes and waited for death.

"Kill!"

Suddenly, shouts of killing came from the west, and reinforcements from Deputy General Chen Bao arrived.

Chen Bao was originally Zhu Hengjia's personal guard. He was good at wielding a long sword (mace) and had unstoppable courage. On Zhu Hengjia's order, he escorted Chen Bangyan into Sichuan. After he made many military exploits, he was awarded the title of deputy general of Kuizhou.

In this campaign against Wang Xiang, Zhu Hengjia mobilized all the troops that could be mobilized from Sichuan and Guizhou provinces. Chen Bao was transferred to the Xuanfu Division of Yongning to garrison the Yongning Guard. After receiving the news of Hou Yongxi's defeat, Chen Bao led 10,000 troops to the front.

Come to the rescue.

"General Hou, why are you so embarrassed?"

Hou Yongxi lost his mind and said: "Oh, General Chen, it's hard to say anything! The enemy's force is too strong, we can't fight in vain, quickly retreat to Yongning Guard!"

Chen Bao was furious when he heard this: "The commander-in-chief of the town can't defeat a little kid. What a waste! You retreat to the rear to rest, I will fight him!"

Being scolded as a waste by Chen Bao, Hou Yongxi was shy and irritable, but he didn't dare to speak out. He had no choice. Although his official was one level higher than Chen Bao, Chen Bao was Zhu Hengjia's personal guard and was a figure in the emperor's heart.

, according to later generations, it was the "Central Army"; he was just a small vassal town who later defected to Zhu Hengjia. According to later generations, it was a "miscellaneous army". The "Central Army" bullied the "miscellaneous army", and the "miscellaneous army" dared

I dare not speak when I am angry.

Hou Yongxi had no choice but to gather up the remaining soldiers while retreating to the rear. He cursed in his mind: Bah, let you be crazy. Wait a while and taste the power of that little kid. Let's see if you are still crazy!

When Chen Bao came to the front of the formation, he didn't say anything, and went straight to Wang Qitun with his flag. Along the way, he stabbed, pulled, smashed, and swept, killing more than ten people in a row, and rushed in front of Wang Qitun's horse.

"Bang!"

Wang Qitun's spear was shaken so much that it trembled.

"Come on, you will be so powerful!"

Wang Qi was stunned and secretly regretted that he was chasing too fast and there were not many soldiers around him.

If you can't beat him, let's go. He turned his horse and walked back, with Chen Bao chasing after him.

After chasing for a while, Liu Zhifu's army arrived. Wang and Liu joined forces and attacked Chen Bao.

Seeing that the enemy had many troops, Chen Bao had no choice but to fight and retreat. After reuniting with Hou Yongxi, he defended Dishui City and flew to General Fan Youxian for help.

Yongning is the gateway to Xuzhou. Sichuan Governor Fan Yiheng and Governor Chen Bangyan are both stationed in Xuzhou. Once it falls, the whole Sichuan will be shaken.

Fan Youxian wanted to send troops for rescue, but all the troops had been deployed. If they were deployed, it would inevitably affect the fighting in other directions. When he was in a dilemma, Wang Deren suddenly reported that Song Kuiguang's 20,000 Jiangxi soldiers had arrived.

Fan Youxian thought that Li Dingguo had already captured Jiading, so he shouldn't need so many troops. With a stroke of his pen, he ordered that Wang Deren and Song Kuiguang's troops, who were originally assigned to Li Dingguo's command, be transferred to Yongning to assist in the defense.
