It's a pity that Song Ping did not commit suicide in the end and died in Hezhou City.
At this time, the governor of Dianjiang County was bowing his head slightly and standing respectfully next to Li Xingchen, while Song Ping was tied tightly and even had a rag stuffed in his mouth.
Just now at the top of the city, Song Ping was giving orders for his troops to retreat. Who would have thought that before the troops on the city had completely withdrawn, the governor of Dianjiang County and several generals and the commander rushed up and pinned Song Ping down.
Fall to the ground.
Obviously Song Ping was prepared to die in this city, but that didn't mean that the other generals and the county guard were willing. Compared to Song Ping, they were obviously less courageous. However, after all the trusted generals under his command were dispatched, there were only two or three left.
Song Ping, who had a personal bodyguard to protect him, was obviously the best candidate to give Li Xingchen a certificate of merit.
Song Ping never thought that these guys would have such thoughts. It can be said that he was caught off guard by the plot.
The situation naturally became clear after that. The city gate was opened directly. Although Cao Zhong, who was still commanding his troops to go up to the city, was surprised, he quickly reacted and led the army directly through the city gate. Now he has led him
The group whose subordinates left the city to pursue them retreated relatively early, and they were the only soldiers to break through.
In fact, the hundreds of remaining soldiers cannot be considered a breakthrough, because Li Xingchen did not surround the entire Hezhou at all, but followed the traditional method of surrounding three and missing one. However, in the north of the city, Li Xingchen did not really have any soldiers.
Surrounded by a group of generals and personal guards, Li Xingchen climbed up the city tower and saw the tied-up governor. Although Li Xingchen dismissed Song Ping's strategy of trapping Hezhou with weak troops, he had a deep appreciation for Song Ping's own integrity.
Still take a high look.
These literati had never received systematic military education and had no experience in fighting enemies, so it was reasonable to make such absurd and wrong decisions. The person who should really bear the responsibility should not be Song Ping himself. After all, he
His own abilities were limited, but the person who should have pushed Song Ping to this position was the Northern Zhou court behind Song Ping.
However, the Northern Zhou court probably never imagined that Song Ping would have to lead his troops to fight one day. And if you really think about this logic, it was because Li Xingchen came so quickly that it was impossible to change the commander before the battle, so Song Ping could only let Song Ping
Go up.
After some calculations, he found that it was all his fault in the end. Li Xingchen could only smile bitterly. Whether it was Song Ping's ignorance or the helplessness of the Northern Zhou court, all of this could only be attributed to fate.
"Where's Cao Zhong?" Li Xingchen suddenly realized that he didn't even see where this guy who got there first had gone.
Li Ping, who walked over quickly, couldn't help but have a burst of amusement on his face: "Reporting to the general, I just heard from the scout who reported the news that General Cao's face has not been very good since he entered the city, and the defeated troops chasing the enemy all the way.
Went out of town."
Li Xingchen was startled, then smiled bitterly and shook his head. No wonder, Cao Zhong held his breath this time to kill the general and seize the flag, and make the first move. Although the first move can't escape him now, there is no doubt that this first move is not enough.
, Cao Zhong did not open the city gate, and Cao Zhong did not capture Song Ping. Now even hundreds of remnant soldiers dare to run around under his nose, which is really contrary to heaven.
However, after Cao Zhong chased him out, Li Xingchen felt more relieved. After all, he didn't know whether Cheng Feng could block the sudden appearance of the troops while blocking the roads. If these remnants of the soldiers were really allowed to retreat into a certain
A mountain city, then this mountain city will definitely be strengthened in strength. When the time comes, it will not be so easy for Li Xingchen to plan anything.
He now wants to take advantage of the situation given to him by Song Ping to completely cut off all the forces surrounding the Northern Zhou Dynasty near Hezhou, and then use the momentum of defeating Dianjiang County in one battle to determine the overall situation of Hezhou in one fell swoop!
When Li Xingchen stepped into Hezhou City, the entire situation was completely in his hands. As for whether those mountain cities would follow the wind or make some waves, he actually couldn't decide.
.
"Be polite to Mr. Song." Li Xingchen frowned and said in a deep voice.
Li Ping hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and took off the rag that blocked Song Ping's mouth.
"Bah!" Song Ping spit it out in one breath, but Li Xingchen stood far away and didn't stick to him at all. However, even so, Li Ping was still angry and wanted to step forward to help this ungrateful guy.
One punch.
Li Xingchen waved his hand: "Okay, he is already a defeated general, let him vent his grievances."
Li Ping snorted and said no more. Song Ping looked at Li Xinchen coldly. He was surprised by Li Xinchen's youth, but he was not naive enough to think that Li Xinchen was not in a hurry to kill him. It was obviously not because he pitied him -
- This young general's scheming, scheming, and control of strategy and tactics are far beyond what Song Ping can match.
In the final analysis, he is just a local official, and being able to maintain order on one side is the limit of his ability.
But before Li Xingchen could speak again, Pei Zilie had already walked over quickly: "Shizhong, news from Luzhou!"
Looking at the smile on Pei Zilie's face, Li Xingchen was slightly startled. He immediately understood that there must be good news. He immediately reached out to take it. After just a cursory glance, he slammed the envelope on the table and laughed:
"Boqing and Zicong fought well!"
Pei Zilie had read the battle report before and smiled in agreement.
Xiao Shilian and Chen Zhishen attacked Luzhou and were able to determine the situation in Luzhou in just three days, which was beyond their expectation. After all, Luzhou is not Bajun or Hezhou. Its situation is much simpler, it is just a fortified city.
, if you can win it, you will be victorious; if you cannot win it, you can only remain in a stalemate.
And Xiao Shilian and Chen Zhishen actually captured Luzhou so quickly. There is no doubt that it not only shocked the situation in Luzhou, but also shook the overall situation of Shu County. As Hezhou also fell to Li Xinchen
In his hands, Li Xinchen's carefully arranged outflanking arrangement for Shu County has been formed. How it will develop next depends on Li Xinchen, not which official in the Northern Zhou Dynasty!
Song Ping obviously understood what happened, his face turned pale, and he struggled and said: "Li Xinchen, don't think that winning Hezhou and Luzhou will do anything. There are still so many mountain cities to the north and west of Hezhou.
As long as you can support me until the main force of the Great Zhou Dynasty enters Shu, you can only tuck your tail between your legs and run away!"
Li Xingchen glanced at him, while Pei Zilie strode to the map, looked at the terrain map around Hezhou, and coughed calmly:
"Shizhong, don't you think this chicken killed for the monkeys is too noisy?"
"A lot of people were killed today, let's just decide the overall situation in one fell swoop." Li Xingchen chuckled lightly, and when he walked past Song Ping, he patted his shoulder, "If you want to say something, just say it quickly, you can speak.
There are not many opportunities left.”
Song Ping was startled. The anger and dissatisfaction in his eyes had disappeared, replaced only by deep fear.
