Zhuge Dewei stood on the corridor with his hands tied, listening to the sound of water dripping from the eaves of the corridor. He was silent for a while, and then suddenly crossed his hands and smiled bitterly:
"General Linghu is holding a sword in his hand. I only sacrificed a city. Now you and I are just like swords and axes and fish meat. So is this a false surrender? Is it considered an internal response? Isn't it General Linghu's words?
And decide?"
Linghu Xing was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but laugh: "What Leader Zhuge means is that if I say you are an internal agent, you are an internal agent; if I say no, then you are not?"
Zhuge Dewei did not say a word, but continued to stand with his hands crossed.
Linghu Xing nodded, and unexpectedly changed the topic: "Then let me ask you something that Leader Zhuge has the final say... Leader Zhuge is from the gang, does he know the true nature of the thief?"
"I know a little about this, but I am considered a subordinate in the gang. I am rarely appointed and I don't know much." Zhuge Dewei still answered with his hands crossed, but he frankly told the gang information he knew about the gang.
After a while.
From the list of high-ranking gang members to the rise of several factions within the gang, Hebei and Henan are at odds with each other; Chen Bin and Dou Lide are at odds with each other in Hebei; and a group of gang veterans led by Shan Tonghai in Henan cannot lower their arrogance and surrender to Chief Zhang; naturally,
There is also the matter of Li Shu and the newly established Daxingtai. Finally, it is inevitable to mention the fact that Dengzhou was marginalized and the leader of the Hebei rebel army was idle.
Linghu Xing listened attentively and asked a few questions from time to time. It was indeed a bit of a questioning attitude.
After waiting for a while, the other party finished speaking. Linghu Xing was thoughtful, but finally let go of his hand holding the knife: "Is the gang system so complete? The lower level is the same as the imperial prefectures and counties, and the upper level is the same as when the Zhou Dynasty was split.
Hun, Sima Hong seems to be the so-called Bafu Xingtai?"
"Roughly the same."
"I see." Linghu Xing nodded slightly and continued to ask, "If that's the case, who do you think Chief Zhang Xing is?"
"He is an extraordinary person." Zhuge Dewei blurted out. "Although there are so many factions in the gang, which one is not like this? Where is it not like this? On the contrary, he is a vanguard in the North and a gangster in Jing'antai.
Shou, there is a saying that the Black Emperor clicks, but I don't usually use this to bluff people. I just rely on eloquence, strategy, cultivation, and virtue to integrate people's hearts and open up places. In the end, I actually became one of the top powers in the world. This kind of
If people are not great, who can be so?"
"Then why do you still want to surrender?" Linghu Xing couldn't help but laugh. "Wouldn't it be better to follow a great person and hang out with one of the world's most powerful forces?"
Zhuge Dewei glanced at the drizzle that was still continuing outside, clasped his hands, and smiled bitterly: "I would like to follow Chief Zhang to do big things, but Chief Zhang doesn't want to lead me to do big things... After Bai Hengqiu left
, the establishment of Hebei Province, I have no place in Daxingtai, and the military power has also been taken away. If I were to be a local official, I would have been hanging around in Dengzhou and Hebei, so it was fine to leave it to me, but he didn't even let me stay in Hebei.
Cheng Zhili was also asked to stay in the state, and instead he pushed me to a border county where the territory is unstable. What can I do? After working together for half a life, I have to have something to look forward to, right? "
"I understand, I understand." Linghu Xing smiled half-heartedly. "I've seen a lot of people like Leader Zhuge... It's just a pity."
"It is indeed a pity." Zhuge Dewei's eyelids twitched and he immediately handed over his hand. "However, when we get to the Eastern Capital, General Linghu will have to look after us."
"Easy to say, easy to say." Linghu Xing nodded repeatedly and turned around.
Zhuge Dewei sighed, and when the other party left, he breathed a sigh of relief again before leaving the side corridor.
Moreover, due to the sudden nature of the war, many places outside the battlefield did not realize how far the situation had progressed. Therefore, Zhuge Dewei and Linghu Xing, including someone drinking in the hall, could stay out of the incident.
According to this logic, the vanguard and rearguard of the Forbidden Army, namely Tu Wan Chang Lun and Yu Ji Luo, should stay out of the situation and enjoy themselves. After all, they are not even in Qiao County.
But in fact, it is impossible for these two veterans to just find a big city to drink and hide from the rain like a certain prime minister. Among them, the first one to react was Yu Jiuluo, who didn't even receive the military messenger.
, As early as this morning, the old general smelled danger.
Specifically, he discovered that Jun had disappeared.
The several battalions of the army that had been harassing and obstructing the Yujiluo tribe on the northern and western fronts suddenly left... Wu Changzai, Li Zida, and Xiahou Ningyuan, these three battalions during these seven or eight days.
His actions were enough to let Yujieluo and his subordinates know their roots.
A disciple of Han Bolong, a remnant of the Wu family, and a madman in martial arts practice. He couldn't control himself when he saw the officers and soldiers under the banner of the Wei Dynasty, and harassed him day and night; a local who couldn't tell whether he was from the Huaiyou League or the gang.
Relying on their familiarity with geography and climate, they led thousands of local spearmen to repeatedly attack their weak points, which was the family that encountered the greatest obstacles to their march; the last one was said to be the confidant of the bandit leader Dan Tonghai, and seemed to be one of the three.
The leader is always scouting from behind, trying to connect the other two companies to build a big one, but in the end he always hesitates and goes around and around without making a move.
And now, they suddenly disappeared.
Li Zida and Xia Houning disappeared during the day on May 15th, while Wu Chang, who was like a mad dog, launched a surprise attack in the evening, and then suddenly disappeared.
To be honest, when things got to this point, Yujieluo was already frightened.
But that's not all. In the morning, there were sentries and flying horses to report. The Huaiyou Alliance launched a large-scale attack from the Xuzhou direction in the east. Kan Leng led the Taibao army in the lead. Du, Fu, Miao, Yue, and Ma flags did not avoid the rear.
The wind and rain are all lined up, and I don’t know if the total number is 30,000 or 50,000, but it’s just like the black clouds are coming!
This is not right!
How could Yujieluo not know that something was wrong?!
On the one hand, he is desperately abandoning himself to the west, and on the other hand, he is desperate to leave his comfort zone to pursue himself. This can only show that the army has made great moves... And considering the state of his troops and the embarrassing position of his troops on the entire battlefield, he
We have to further consider the most critical and common problem on the battlefield.
That is life and death.
"Go west! Throw away the baggage, except for weapons, armor and the food you can carry with you, don't worry about the rest!" Yujieluo, who was already on the march, was stunned for a few breaths when he heard the news from the direction of Xuzhou.
He waved his whip on the horse and gave the most correct order with the fastest speed and the most severe attitude. "Go west! Go quickly!"
"General!"
Just a moment later, Zhao Ji, the general in front, came flying over, obviously dissatisfied. "We are the rear guard, and we have few supplies. The thieves are harassing us all the way. If we don't have the baggage, we will collapse in a few days."
"Zhao Ji!" Yu Jiuluo turned his head on his horse. With his ferocious eyes, his white hair and beard almost "bloomed" out of his helmet. "You know that I am a general, but you also know
The word military law?!"
When Zhao Ji saw the other party like this, he was immediately startled. Then his mind turned to the other party's legendary experiences, but he quickly responded, stopped caring, and left to carry out the military order honestly.
However, Yujieluo, who could make people succumb to his power with just one glance, watched the opponent go away, but put away his expression, and then couldn't help but sigh up to the sky.
Without him, although Yu Jiuluo's cultivation and qualifications are here, sometimes being overqualified is not a good thing... He and Tu Wanchang discussed joining the army during the previous dynasty, and they hung out with the Sima family, and later became famous and successful.
In the early days of the founding of the Wei Dynasty, the two of them followed the Du Desert, one in the east and the other in the west. For more than ten years, they defended the eastern Wu tribe and the central Wu tribe with relatively few troops, and destroyed the Qi Dynasty for the Wei Dynasty.
Mie Chen created excellent conditions.
My cultivation was also accomplished at that time.
But the good times did not last long. The new emperor came to the throne and was afraid of the old ministers. So they were deliberately idle as early as the first conquest of Dongyi. The three conquests of Dongyi destroyed countless people's hearts, but for them, it was only a few years ago.
At the same level, the biggest thing that can happen is that one of his descendants suddenly loses his bearings.
When the Wei Dynasty collapsed, these two men, as the theoretically most prominent force in Guanlong and closest to the officialdom, were suddenly recruited to clean up the bandits and fight public security wars for the Wei emperor who was preparing to live in peace in Jiangdong.
However, not to mention old age and frailty, and not to mention strangers in a foreign land, even the Imperial Army is unfamiliar to them. Except for a few generals who are somewhat good-looking, the rest of the army has changed a lot.
Where can we command properly? In the end, we simply became the biggest scapegoat for the worsening situation in the south.
The emperor no longer trusts them, the self-organized imperial army rejects them, local forces regard them as enemies, and they cannot return home even if they have a home.
After finally setting off to go home, it didn’t matter that Sima was on his guard. Who cared about military power at this time? But we encountered this kind of thing again on the road... Is this Sima Huada good at all? How did Sima Changying teach this?
?!
After feeling angry, he still had to leave.
The troops dropped their baggage and headed westward with all their strength. They walked for half a morning and half an afternoon. Just when they completed the encirclement, they had actually arrived at Huanshui, which was extremely fast.
But difficulties also arise.
"The Huaiyou League in Xuzhou is chasing them too fast." Zhao Ji took the initiative to talk to Yujiluo. He seemed to be worried about the military situation, but his tone was not very nervous. "They are all locals, and they are not like us.
We have been marching for a long time and are so tired, and we only have two boats and insufficient building materials to build a pontoon bridge. If we continue like this, we may be bitten by them."
"Then what do you think?" Yu Jiuluo asked with a frown.
"Set up an ambush here." Zhao Ji raised his head and raised his chest and suggested. "The whole army is waiting for work, and then we can use the great general's power to counterattack and defeat them! That way we will have no worries!"
Yu Jiuluo looked at the lieutenant in front of him as if he were a fool, and after a long while he said: "Do you think we are in such a hurry to go west to escape the pursuing soldiers?"
"Isn't it?" Zhao Ji was stunned.
"The danger is not in the back, but in the front!" Yu Jiuluo said angrily. "The thieves left us to go west. They must concentrate their forces to launch an attack on the main force of the Forbidden Army! And the task of those in the Huaiyou League in Xuzhou is to drag us down.
To hold us back...then whether they bite us, stop us, or fight us to defeat themselves, it will be considered as holding us back, and it will be considered a success, and even if we win, there will be no benefit!"
Zhao Ji was obviously panicked: "So, we should risk everything and go to the west to join the war as soon as possible?"
Yu Jiuluo glanced at the other person and wanted to wake him up, but by some strange mistake, he took back his words and just nodded.
"If this is the case." Zhao Ji was still panicking. "We still can't escape. It's too slow to cross the river from here, and we will definitely be bitten by the other party..."
"Are there no other ferry pontoons upstream and downstream?" Yujira was a little annoyed again. "Just cross the river separately."
"Upstream is where the gang controls... When Wu Erlang and those people leave, they will demolish them when they need to and smash them when they need to!" Zhao Ji explained helplessly. "Downstream..."
"How's it going downstream?" Yujieruo asked.
"There are no crossing bridges downstream except for entering Huaikou." Zhao Ji said sternly. "But that's because there was a town called Huankou at the mouth of the river. There were many ships and several large pontoon bridges in it. When the bridge was gone, a makeshift bridge was built, and the houses
There are also sufficient building materials...the former army passed through Huankou."
"Then go to Huankou." Yu Jiuluo said speechlessly. "What else is there to argue about?"
"But Huankou is too far south and east." Zhao Ji reminded seriously. "Since we are going to support, according to the previous communication, the main force of the Chinese army should be north of Qiaojun on both sides of the Guoshui River, that is, to the northwest of us
...If we cross the river from Huankou, first going southeast and then northwest, we will be delayed."
Yu Jiuluo nodded, thought about it seriously, then shook his head again: "Then what good idea do you have?"
Zhao Ji was naturally speechless.
"That's good." Yu Jiuluo sighed. "Let's divide our troops! If the whole army crosses here, they will be bitten by the Huaiyou thieves if they don't finish the crossing, so we might as well divide half of them and go out through Huankou, and half of them will go through Huankou.
Cross the river from here and go directly to the west to join the war! How about that?"
Zhao Ji thought about it for a while, but he couldn't help it. He could only nod: "In this case, the general will definitely catch up with the general as soon as possible."
Yu Jiuluo was stunned and just nodded casually... He had no choice but to participate in the war, and it would be more effective if he, the grandmaster, led the team. He had no reason to refuse.
In this way, before dusk, before the Huaiyou Alliance's pursuers arrived, Yujiuluo led five thousand forbidden troops across the Huan River, and then immediately marched northwest. If he hurried fast, he would probably be able to reach Qiao before dawn tomorrow.
The southern end of the county.
At this time, Tu Wanchanglun had already led his army to the junction of Huaiyang, Ruyin and Qiaojun.
However, just at the intersection of Daguan Road entering Qiao County, he met a man, a young man he had just met not long ago... The latter stopped him on the side of the road.
"Old General." Probably due to geographical reasons, the rain has been very light. Fang Xuanqiao stood by the road with a smile and cupped his hands. "Please don't go forward, otherwise the disaster will be worse."
"What do you mean?" Tu Wan Chang Lun was puzzled for a moment.
"Since Prime Minister Sima broke the contract and went to Qiao County, Chief Zhang will definitely not be able to bear it, and the two sides will inevitably start a war. And if there is a war, although the military strength of the gang is uneven, they are more prepared and the overall strength is stronger; although the Forbidden Army is elite,
, but traveled a long distance and lacked supplies, so the forbidden army will win in a small battle, and the gang will win in a big battle." Fang Xuanqiao said seriously. "Old general, the battle has been going on all day and night. If you enter Qiaojun at this time, you will be too late.
Instead, you will fall into the tiger's mouth."
Tu Wan Chang Lun was a little confused. His message was still at the point where he was helping a few battalions to cross the river. The Forbidden Army won more and lost less. For a possible war, he was needed to support... How could he become a sheep entering a tiger's mouth?
After a pause, he uttered a long talk, looked at the man in front of the horse, and asked seriously: "Boy, do you think so, or does your teacher think so? Where is your teacher Huai Tonggong?"
"I felt so, and then I told my mentor, who was quite satisfied and asked me to go south to dissuade the old general." Fang Xuanqiao spoke sharply. "As for my mentor, when Prime Minister Sima turned around and entered Qiao County, he was on his way to Huaiyang County to govern.
Hurry and prepare to visit Zhao Tuo, the prefect of Huaiyang."
After Tu Wan Chang Lun heard this, he finally stood up and dismounted, and then stepped forward to hold the opponent's hand: "I heard that Zhao Tuo had surrendered to a thief before and was listed on the gang list. Could it be that he has already surrendered to the thief?"
"Zhao Fujun's position is indeed doubtful, but if the old general thought that he would take the initiative to send troops to join the war and trap the imperial army in a trap, then he would have thought too much." Fang Xuanqiao said with a smile. "The collapse of the Wei Dynasty will lead to the collapse of places like Zhao Fujun.
As a member of the Communist Party of China, if you can grasp the situation and don't have too much ambition, you are just waiting and watching to protect yourself. If you are just waiting and watching, how can you take the initiative before the situation is unclear?"
"Then how did you conclude that the front was completely defeated? And how did you convince your teacher?" Tu Wanlong was confused for a moment.
"My conclusion is simple, and it is also very simple to convince my mentor." Fang Xuanqiao said a little seriously. "Because my mentor and I came from Hebei before, we know how to help the weak and the real. On our return trip, we happened to have a glimpse of the real and weak of the Forbidden Army...Old General, I
I agree with my mentor, they both feel that the gang is the tiger and the Imperial Army is the wolf. Originally, the wolves and the hedgehogs were able to gather together calmly, but during the rainy season, the wolves were tired and dispersed on their own, exposing their flaws. At this time, the tigers could not move.
, one move will surely swallow up a wolf."
"Is the gang a tiger?" Tuwanzhang was stunned for a moment and asked seriously.
"yes."
"The Custodes are wolves?"
"yes."
"You and Huai Tong both think so?"
"yes."
After a series of questions and answers, he took a long breath and shook his head slowly: "Of course I can trust Huai Tong, but as a general of an army, I must do my best. I have clearly received military orders to support you.
How can we stop moving forward?"
Fang Xuanqiao did not answer directly, but turned to look behind him, that is, Tu Wan Chang discussed the direction of the army's march. At this time, the marching column of the imperial army was obviously lagging behind, and even had a tendency to stop... This is not Tu Wan.
The long discussion is as follows, but ahead is the Feishui River on the border of Qiaojun, and the bridge above it corresponds to the official road... Because the forward troops were crossing the river on the bridge, it was blocked.
After watching this for a while, making sure that Tu Wan Long Lun was aware of the current situation, Fang Xuanqiao turned back and responded to the other party's question: "Old General, not to mention that the emperor is gone, are there any of the three regicide Sima?
I am not qualified to give orders to the old general, and I have never told the old general not to provide support."
"How do you say that?" He raised his eyebrows slightly as he spoke a lot.
"It's very simple." Fang Xuanqiao turned around and pointed in the direction behind him. "If I think wrongly and there is no big battle ahead, then it doesn't matter for the old general to delay the march for a day; and if there is a big battle ahead, the old general should have gone over to respond.
In this case, why not go around the upper reaches of the Feishui River? The source of the Feishui River is thirty miles north of here, and by passing there, the troops will not be trapped by the Feishui River during the retreat.
If we are trapped, we can capture Qiaocheng first for support and defense, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"
After thinking about it for a while, he finally smiled: "That's quite appropriate! It's strange that you literary cultivators can always find this kind of appropriate method of not fighting at both ends but leaving people speechless."
Fang Xuanqiao also laughed: "Literary training is useless, I can only think of ideas, and the decision needs to be made by the old general himself."
Tu Wanchang nodded his argument, and simply called someone to deliver the order. He asked the troops to immediately turn around and go upstream, while the troops that had already crossed the river acted as sentries to the east to inquire about the military situation.
Just as the troops were turning around, Tu Wan Long Lun looked at the rain above his head which had become much lighter, and suddenly asked: "Boy, did you just say regicide?"
"yes."
"However, after you left that day, there was a military uprising in Jiangdu. All the sergeants cheered and I was relieved. I communicated with the imperial guards. Everyone said that Cao Che should have died long ago. Killing Cao Che is the most serious thing in the world." Tu Wanchang.
On Youyou Laiyan. "After marching all the way here, the soldiers, officials, and thieves along the way said that Cao Che's death was as light as a feather... In fact, as far as I know, the reason why the imperial army obeyed these three people was precisely
Because the three of them took the lead in killing Cao Che... If you kill one person and the world cheers, why should you call it regicide?"
"Because these three commanders are Wei ministers, and they were all promoted by Cao Che." Fang Xuanqiao thought for a while and gave the answer. "Therefore, even if Cao Che died unjustly and Jiangdu's army changed his mind, it is understandable.
In the eyes of some stubborn people, they are still suspected of betraying their master... What's more, these three people's reputations before and after the military coup were also a little too harsh. They established a new emperor but killed the King of Qi, were prime ministers, served as ministers, and ostracized them.
It is normal for two old generals to be looked down upon by others. But if they are looked down upon by others and are about to suffer a huge defeat and lose their armor to intimidate others, they will naturally be derided as regicide."
"I didn't expect you to be so 'stubborn' at your age." After hearing the long talk, he couldn't help but sigh. "Forget it, life, death, honor and disgrace are all your young people's business, not even for an old man like me who has no hope.
It doesn’t matter, Meiyu is about to stop. No matter what the result is, just hold on and return to Dongdu..."
At this point, the old general's heart stirred, and he realized something. However, he did not continue the topic, but his interest was waning... The king and his ministers were afraid of each other, father and son were at odds with each other, and they betrayed their allies and betrayed their friends, both internally and externally.
Bixing...he has seen too many of these things in his life, and he has no interest in them at all.
At this thought, General Tuwan just got on his horse and gestured with his lips: "Boy, is this your horse? Follow him quickly."
Fang Xuanqiao was shocked: "Old General, do I want to go with you too?"
"You!" Tu Ten Thousand Comments was speechless. "Since you came up with the strategy, even if I believe you, I also want to prevent you from being caught by thieves. You know my marching route... didn't you say it? Help me."
It's a tiger! Besides, if you don't go north with me, where can you go? Can you still cross the Feishui River to look for thieves to join the gang in the Guoshui River? If so, I will hold on to you even more.
"
Fang Xuanqiao thought for a while and found that he couldn't argue with it, so he found a horse and followed it.
It can only be said that this afternoon, Prime Minister Sima is drinking, General Tuwan is taking a detour, General Yu is speeding up, the remaining people are fighting, and everyone in the Forbidden Army has a bright future.
Moving to the main battlefield, the army that completed the outflanking on the left and right wings was naturally considered to have won a complete victory.
"Of course we can win!"
Li Ding came back from the battlefield ahead and returned to Fanweizi according to the instructions of the messenger. He heard a familiar voice in the distance, and when he turned an intersection inside the Weizi, he saw the owner of the voice standing on the road making a loud noise.
As he said something, there was a crowd on both sides. The wounded and prisoners were crowded inside and outside the house and courtyard. They were listening in a daze and couldn't help but slow down.
"Why can you win?"
Zhang Xing continued to make the announcement loudly. "Because you have strict military discipline! Our army has the strictest military discipline in the world! Look at the Forbidden Army, look at the previous Dongdu Army, and the Jin Army. Which one doesn't plunder the people? Which one doesn't plunder the people?
Don’t kill innocent people indiscriminately? Only we don’t! Not only do we not, the reason for sending troops this time is to protect the people! We are the first-class benevolent and righteous teachers in the world!
"And if we do nothing wrong and rescue the people like this, the people will naturally trust us. If they trust us, they will pass on information to us, provide supplies, and replenish soldiers... With all this, why can't we win?
"To put it bluntly, we are so benevolent and civilized, and the Forbidden Army is so cruel and rude. If we still lose, it means God has no eyes, and the three splendors and four emperors are all clay puppets!"
At this point, Zhang Xing turned around and saw Li Ding, but he hurriedly finished: "Brothers, we have won this battle, so we can rest here and rest in peace, and wait until the Forbidden Army is completely defeated, and they will come to surrender! Then I will talk to you brothers
Calculate merit!"
Zhang Xing stood in the middle of the road, with houses and courtyards on both sides, and wounded gang members on one side. Although some of them knew the rules of "applauding and shouting" during meetings, they were only a minority. In addition, almost everyone was injured, so there were only sporadic injuries.
Shouting; on the other side, there were mostly prisoners and wounded soldiers of the Forbidden Army. At this time, they were completely confused, frightened, confused, and confused.
"You don't really believe this 'the benevolent are invincible' thing, do you?" The two approached, and Li Ding, who had a look on his face, was rude.
"That's nonsense." Zhang Xing waved his hand, but his voice was much lower. "Don't I know the gang's experience? In the beginning, they revolted on their own territory in the East. How could there be any reason to rob their own family? Later, they went to Hebei.
, I wanted to rob it, but when I first went there, Hebei was almost a white land, and there was nothing to rob. I am telling them this now to pave the way for the future, because in the future, the battle will definitely be fierce and see-sawing, and when military discipline is broken
It will be difficult to straighten it out again.”
Li Ding then calmed down, but then sighed: "No matter what the reason is, military discipline is always good if it is not bad. It is indeed not easy."
This time it was Zhang Xing's turn to look at the other party, but he immediately came back to his senses: "You came back suddenly, what's going on?"
"Two things, but also the same thing." Li Ding also came to his senses and replied seriously. "I would like to ask, did you ask Wu Dalang and others to go south to Qiaocheng as soon as they came over?"
"yes."
"Surround Sima Huada?"
"Yes." Zhang Xing asked. "Is there any problem?"
"It can't be said that there is. Originally, we wanted the follow-up troops to supplement the center." Li Ding sighed and said another thing. "Zhai Kuan in front was probably eager to make a contribution and spared the broken troops to intercept, but was defeated by Sima De
A counterattack brought down the entire battalion, and Zhai Kuan himself was seriously injured."
Zhang Xing was startled for a moment, then took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.
What can he do?
He could only take a breath.
"Wouldn't it delay the advance?" After a long while, Chief Zhang Da finally asked with all his strength.
"If we don't delay now, even if Smadek wins, he will immediately retreat. The general situation will not change."
"Sima Deke...have all three Sima come out now?"
"Sima Huada was in Qiaocheng, and Sima Deke and Sima Jinda were in front of him. However, Sima Jinda's flag was not seen again, and Su Jingfang said that someone under his command saw a group of soldiers heading north. It might be Sima Jin.
Maybe Da goes to look for Sima Huada."
"Once the battle here is over, everyone has to go north... destroy his main force, seize his emperor, and then kill their prime minister and servants. This battle will be a complete victory!"
"Yes." Li Ding surprisingly did not refute.
When there were few people, he could still control his arrogance, which gave Zhang Xing no chance to lose his temper in private.
After pausing for a moment, Zhang Xing still could not ignore the defeat of the Chinese army in this battle: "After this battle, some leaders who only have seniority and mountain tops but no fighting ability must be let down."
"Is there a place to stay?" Li Ding couldn't help but frown.
"We can build an Xingtai in Xuzhou, and we can also build an Xingtai here in Qiaojun." Zhang Xing seemed to have some ideas. "Where is there no place to put them? At the worst, we can add a deputy to each department in Daxingtai."
Li Ding nodded casually, seeming to have forgotten that there was still a Huaiyou League in Xuzhou.
"This battle is over, there won't be any more surprises, right?" Zhang Xing suddenly asked again, as if he was made less confident by the successive collapses of the entire battalion organization.
"No!" Li Ding firmly shook his head. "Unless the Chinese army collapses three more battalions in a row before dark, or it can fly over with endless arguments, and now it is at Dantonghai and Wang Shuyong's two wings to outflank the troops, otherwise
Absolutely not!"
This time it was Zhang Xing's turn to nod carelessly.
Facts have proved that the army was not so weak that the remaining ten or so battalions of the Chinese army collapsed three more in a row, and it did not have the ability to fly over with 10,000 people from afar... On the contrary, as the war progressed,
As this continued, the long-term fatigue of the Forbidden Army's continuous march was finally revealed in the non-stop fighting and retreat, often fighting and suddenly collapsing.
Not only that, the closer it gets to dark, the more morale of the Forbidden Army becomes shaken.
In this way, more and more troops broke out, the pursuers continued, and the encirclement became more and more obvious. And sure enough, before dark, the troops under Sima Deke who had maintained their organizational structure and fighting status retreated to Zuowuwei General Cui Hongsheng behind him.
, the morale of the various departments of the Forbidden Army finally couldn’t hold on any longer!
Let us also say that among the Fei vortex, there is a total of about 58,000 main force of the forbidden army, headed by Prime Minister Sima Huada.
Today's battle includes Zuo Pushe Sima Deke, Zuo Wuwei General Cui Hongsheng, Zuo Houwei General He Xi, plus the escaped right servant Sima Jinda, four main generals of the Forbidden Army, plus seven generals, totaling
There were about 35,000 people, occupying two-thirds of the main force of the Forbidden Army between the Fei vortices. They were surrounded by about thirty battalions of troops with two wings, and they were surrounded head-on by the tactics of interspersed.
Excluding the defection of 3,000 people from Bai Youbin's old army, only the 3,000 people led by Sima Jinda and some of the thousands of people who were defeated by his army in the early stage finally escaped the final encirclement.
The remaining 23,400 troops, after one-third of the troops collapsed at Fan Weizi in front, and two to three thousand were killed and wounded along the way, struggled to hold on for half an afternoon while retreating and being flanked, and finally finally
They were surrounded by groups in the vast wilderness to the west and south of Zhangweizi. As the army shrank in large areas, it quickly fell into a loss of command and a total collapse of the organization.
At this time, it was not dark yet.
Although there were many twists and turns and accidents, the army still firmly completed the strategic tasks assigned by Li Ding, which contributed to the victory of the final battle!
"The army has begun recruiting large groups to surrender." In the chaos, General Zuo Houwei bumped into Zuo Pushe Sima Deke, and shouted desperately from a distance. "Sima Jinda is said to have run away, and Niu Fangsheng surrendered the thief early in the morning.
Yuan Lizheng can't see it either. Cui Hongsheng is in the west and he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead. The army is surrounded like an iron barrel. Xiong Bonan is still in the sky. What should we two do? You are Zuo Pushe, the commander. You
Give me an idea!"
"Do you have any ideas?" Smadek had already broken through the defense. "Don't you just want me to take the lead in surrender? How can I surrender the thieves when I'm a dignified Zuopushe?!"
"Zuopushe is a piece of shit!" He Xi was so angry that his face turned red, but he was still coherent. "The Wei Dynasty is gone, the emperor is gone, and the imperial army is gone. You are a piece of shit Zuopushe?! Are you not afraid of people's jokes?
!”
"If you mess up the morale of the army again, I will kill you now." Sima Deke's eyes widened, his true energy overflowing, and he stared at He Xi.
"There is a way out without surrender." Seeing the opponent's attitude, He Xi was frightened for a moment, but gritted his teeth and pointed at the purple cloud curtain in the sky. "Xiong Bonan is alone, let's make a bet and jump up together.
, you go north and I go south, life or death depends on who Xiong Bonan takes!"
Sima Deke looked up at the purple cloud curtain, gritted his teeth, and suddenly rose up, but turned into a stream of light and directly hit the giant purple curtain while tens of thousands of people from both armies were stunned.
And at the moment when "Zuopushe" took off, it became clear how rational he always was... Maybe the other party started the military rebellion in order to go home, but now, they can't let go of this short-term Zuopushe.
, we still have to rely on the hopeless troops below to gain the feeling of being superior to others.
Even though this guy has never really tasted this taste at all, he just seems to have the possibility of tasting it. Coupled with the excitement of being defeated in one day, he has become crazy.
The huge purple curtain in the sky rolled up, and just one roll completely wrapped the stream of light. Then, as if there was an invisible giant in the sky, it directly smashed the curtain roll wrapped around the great Wei Zuopu to the ground.
.
Under the gaze of everyone, except for the Forbidden Army soldiers directly below who were affected and fled in panic, almost everyone remained stunned.
After repeating it several times, seeing the huge purple curtain rolling towards Zhang Weizi who had been controlled by the army, the army naturally cheered and shook the crowd. Although the forbidden troops seemed to have resumed their activities, they didn't know whether it was an illusion or not.
It has become much quieter... Whether it is surrendering to the outside or diving in like headless flies, or even stepping on each other in the ditch, everyone has become cautious.
On the other side, when Sima Deke was thrown from the sky to the earth embankment of Weizi, although his whole body was bloody, he was still breathing.
"After all, he is a master of Cheng Dan. He is quite strong." Xiong Bonan was panting, but he still couldn't hide the joy on his face. "Is this Sima Deke?"
"It's him!" Bai Youbin's eyes shone.
"Sima Zuopushe, are you willing to surrender?" Zhang Xing looked at the bloody man on the ground and asked sincerely.
Smadek lay there without moving his limbs. He only raised his head, the corners of his eyes drooped, and he shook his head slowly but firmly.
"Okay, kill him and persuade him to surrender." Zhang Xing easily replied. "Which one of you will take action?"
Before he finished speaking, Xiong Bonan did not hesitate and walked forward with a big flag. He only thrust the flagpole into the opponent's vest and shot the left servant to be dealt with on the spot... Beside him, Bai Youbin and
Yu Changnan exclaimed that it was a pity, but also cheered up!
Bai Youbin turned around twice with the knife, while Yu Changnan, regardless of his dignity, knelt down and pounded the mud with his hands.
"Will you surrender?" Zhang Xing ignored these situations, but seemed a little anxious. As soon as the person over there died, he immediately looked at the other person beside him, and it turned out to be Niu Fangsheng, who had been captured before.
Niu Fangsheng trembled and remained silent for a moment. He didn't know whether he was unwilling to surrender or was frightened.
"Break his legs." Zhang Xing nodded and ordered, standing up at the same time, completely ignoring the screams and various movements in the enemy center not far away. "Prepare to send to Qiaocheng... I want to take away a battalion.
Go to Qiaocheng now!"
Regardless of the life or death of tens of thousands of enemy troops, they went to Qiaocheng first.
"What is here?"
Almost at the same time, hundreds of miles away, the old master Yu Jiuluo, whose heart was beating wildly for no reason, suddenly noticed a piece of terrain on his left. The rain only stopped for a moment, and then mist actually started to disperse.
"It's the mist coming out of the Sancha Lake." A soldier immediately answered. "It is said to be an allusion to Lord Huyun. He was robbed of the Huai River and lay on the Dangtu Mountain on the other side of the river to Huiyun in the north of Huaihe."
Yu Jiuluo was suddenly startled and reined in his horse on the spot: "Is the Huai River behind this foggy swamp?"
"Yes." Joining the army didn't understand what he meant, so he explained, "It's true that the waterway is winding."
Yujiluo looked at the large area of swamp in front of him, and thought that he had not encountered any resistance along the way across the river. However, an idea came to his mind on the spot, and then he turned to look at the people beside him: "Do you want to survive?"
The generals and soldiers around him joined the army, and the guards were inexplicably flustered. They were at a loss and didn't know what to answer.
"Send the order, let's go from Sanzhanze." Yu Jiuluo calmed down at this time. "You are not allowed to make any noise, and there is no need to tell General Zhao Ji. You choose the road yourself... The war in Qiao County is eight out of ten.
Nine is gone. We were certain to die in the past. If you want to live, come with me now."
After saying that, this veteran general and grandmaster of the Wei Dynasty actually left the official road, rode his horse into the muddy three-branched swamp, and the mist rolled in, and actually bypassed Qiaojun in front of him.
it's dark.
The rain also stopped.
In Qiaocheng, Zhuge Dewei prepared dinner and wine for Prime Minister Sima, and personally arranged the evening bathing and accommodation, and then hurriedly came out. But this time, he didn't know if he was in trouble.
Changing his wisdom, he did not leave from the side corridor, but chose to go directly out of the front door alone.
As a result, as soon as I walked out of the front door of the county mansion, I was blocked by a person at the threshold, and then the leader came and asked:
"Is Leader Zhuge the one who helped fake the surrender?"
Zhuge Dewei was frightened and raised his head, completely panicked.
It turned out that the person standing in front of him was Feng Chang, a confidant and think tank of Prime Minister Sima, who accompanied the great Wei Zhongshushe.
The man was panting, acting in a panic, and his face looked distorted under the light of the lantern he had just lit.
Zhuge Dewei was about to speak.
Unexpectedly, Feng Chang stepped forward and directly grabbed the fellow from Hebei, lowered his tone and said tremblingly: "Leader Zhuge, you'd better be, otherwise you and I will die without a place to die! The front line of the army was victorious, and the main force of the tens of thousands of Forbidden Army was defeated.
He died in a battle, and as soon as the messenger arrived, there were already soldiers and horses behind him, marching silently and hastily to block the city!"
Zhuge Dewei then wanted to speak again.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a burst of shouts of killing suddenly sounded from the south of the city, as if two armies were fighting outside the city.
Feng Chang was even more flustered and hurried to see Zhuge Dewei.
Zhuge Dewei opened his mouth, but this time he didn't know what to say... He really didn't know.
