Chapter 1393: Shen Tang goes to Fangzhou and secretly meets Wanyan Hao
After the river stopped flowing, the Jin soldiers first diverted water and then filled the moat! It didn't take long, even though there were arrows from the Song Dynasty soldiers and horses above, it still didn't stop the Jin soldiers from filling in the moat.
Yuecheng did not hold out for long. The two sides fought to the death for five days. The Jin soldiers broke through Yuecheng, and the Song army had to retreat to Wengcheng!
Shen Tang led his troops from Lizhou to the east. However, this time, although all the troops were cavalry, Shen Tang was not in a hurry! He could only move a few dozen miles every day!
Therefore, it took Kuai Ma almost half a month to reach Fangzhou, a distance of more than a thousand miles!
After the troops were stationed, Shen Tang was sent to see the detective who had already been sent!
"What's the situation in Xiangyang now!"
In the military tent, Shen Tang asked.
"Commander, Xiangyang has been besieged for seventeen days now! The Jin soldiers are like breaking bamboos, and they have successively destroyed the moat, moon city, and urn city! Now, the Xiangyang defenders have retreated to the outer city wall! The southern generals and a small group of local troops also want to go south. Support, but the Jin soldiers have cavalry cruising around the border of Yingzhou, preventing soldiers and horses from Jiangling Prefecture from going south!"
"The same is true for the troops and horses in De'an Mansion. They can only defend De'an Mansion, but they cannot support Xiangyang!"
Then, Shen Tang looked towards the generals and saw Xin Qiji standing up and asking, "Commander, where should we start?
How about letting the last general lead the vanguard to see the situation of the Jin soldiers, and then the commander-in-chief can make a decision?"
"Commander, just leave this matter to the general. You will not disappoint the commander!"
Cheng Yuhu also spoke accordingly.
"You guys, you have to fight with me?
Isn’t it enough to have a reputation for a surprise attack on Ziwu Valley?”
Xin Qiji glared at Cheng Yuhu fiercely!
Shen Tang smiled and waved his hand, and then said, "The army has traveled thousands of miles and is naturally tired. Therefore, there is no rush to fight the Jin soldiers. Let's wait for further news! Wait for three or two days, and then we will send out troops again. !”
Although everyone felt a little strange, everyone present was Shen Tang’s confidant, so they didn’t ask any more questions!
When the generals were leaving, Shen Tang gave Cheng Yuhu a wink! Not long after, Cheng Yuhu left and returned, "Commander, do you have any orders?"
"Take one or two hundred elite men with you and follow me!"
Cheng Yuhu didn't ask any more questions, just nodded, and then left the military tent! Then, Shen Tang called Bi Zaiyu over, "I will personally check the surrounding terrain. Cheng Yuhu is following me. There is no need to inform General Xin and others. Save Make them worry!"
"Commander, I will go with you in the end!"
Shen Tang shook his head, "If you also went, wouldn't everyone know that I am not in the camp?"
Bi Zaiyu nodded helplessly and accepted the order! Not long after, Cheng Yuhu returned, "Commander, I have chosen three hundred people, all of whom are our confidants!"
Shen Tang naturally understood what this confidant meant!
Afterwards, the two of them left the tent one after the other, and sure enough, there was a group of people waiting! Shen Tang disappeared directly among the people, and with Cheng Yuhu leading the way, the people left the camp and headed west.
The location where Shen Tang and others were stationed was originally at the junction of Fangzhou and Xiangyang. Therefore, in half an hour, Shen Tang and others entered the Xiangyang area!
"Commander, there is a Jin soldiers camp not far ahead! If we go further, there may be Jin soldiers coming to visit us!"
Cheng Yuhu said in a low voice.
Shen Tang nodded, "It doesn't matter!"
Cheng Yuhu's eyes flashed, and then he continued to lead the troops forward! Sure enough, not long after, a group of troops blocked them!
"Commander, we also have troops behind us!"
The sky was dim, the torches were swaying, and Shen Tang's team had already changed their clothes, so the golden soldiers who came were not in a hurry to take action!
Without waiting for the other party to speak, Shen Tang said calmly, "Shen wants to see Marshal Wanyan Hao!"
The leading Jin general stepped forward, and after seeing Shen Tang's face clearly, his expression changed slightly, "Your Excellency, please wait a moment..."
After saying that, he first gave a signal to make all the soldiers and horses around him push back for a while, then lowered his head and gave an order to the person beside him, who immediately rode back!
After about half an hour, the horse quickly returned and whispered to Jin Jiang for a moment!
"Your Excellency, please!"
The golden general bowed slightly, and then the soldiers and horses behind him separated, directly leading Shen Tang and his party to continue forward!
Not long after, a golden army camp appeared in everyone's sight!
The group of people successfully entered the camp, Shen Tang said, "Yuhu, let the others wait here, you come with me!"
The golden general said immediately, "Don't worry, everyone, the camp has been arranged!"
After the others left, the golden general bowed respectfully to Shen Tang, "General Hu Hu'er, pay your respects to your lord! The general has been waiting for you, please follow me!"
This golden general is a military general from Wanyan Hao's famous mansion, so how could he not know Shen Tang?
At this moment, he finally understood why the commander-in-chief asked him to patrol the border of Fangzhou in the past few days, including those vague words! It turned out that Shen Tang was coming in person!
Although the two sides are now serious enemies, this golden general is certainly not unwise. Furthermore, no matter how you calculate it, Shen Tang is the son-in-law of their Daming Mansion. What's more, he has the kindness to give them guidance. , Therefore, it is not surprising that he is respectful to Shen Tang.
And Cheng Yuhu also understood, no wonder the commander-in-chief came secretly. Although Xin Qiji and others were considered confidants of the commander-in-chief, but now they came to meet the commander-in-chief of the Jin Kingdom, as a general of the imperial court, Xin Qiji would naturally be embarrassed.
However, he is Shen Tang's private soldier. Although he also has a position in the army, his status is completely different!
It is no exaggeration to say that others may have concerns, but for Cheng Yuhu's troops, they only need an order from Shen Tang, and no one will hesitate even if they directly send troops to Lin'an!
Under the guidance of Hu Huer, the two of them entered directly into the Chinese army's tent!
"My son-in-law, Shen Tang, pays homage to my father-in-law!"
After entering the big tent, Shen Tang kowtowed and saluted without saying a word!
Cheng Yuhu grinned, performed a military salute, then stood aside and remained silent!
"You're finally here! Okay, get up quickly and have two more drinks with me!"
In the big tent, there were only General Jin and Wanyan Hao!
Weng and son-in-law sat across from each other, and Shen Tang took the initiative to pour wine for Wanyan Hao!
"My son-in-law respects my father-in-law!"
Wanyan Hao smiled with satisfaction, raised his head and drank all the wine in the wine bowl, "Yes, you have earned me a lot of face this time!"
"A few days ago, I received a secret message from that old boy Tu Dankening! This old boy has always boasted of his unparalleled military skills, but this time he was defeated by you! That day, I drank a jar of wine to celebrate! "
