At this moment,
Zheng Fan really feels like destiny is in my hands!
If it weren’t for Li Fusheng above his head, if it weren’t for the Marquis of Zhenbei and the Marquis of Jingnan above him, if it weren’t for the Emperor Yan, if there wasn’t Eunuch Wei,
If it weren’t for He only has 2,500 people under his command.
If there were not so many,
Zheng Shoubei could really give the blind man a "eye signal",
Then he wore a yellow robe.
However, Zheng Fan, who was always cautious, immediately asked:
"Is there any fraud?"
Liang Cheng shook his head and said: " They can't afford to cheat."
Fake surrender, lure the enemy deep, and then counterattack, you have to look at the level of the opponent.
Can the local guards of Qingshan County, a group of deserters, and local people from the county be able to perform such a high-end job as pretending to surrender?
Just like the strategy of "fake defeat" was rarely used in ancient times, because in many cases, a fake defeat would turn into a real rout.
Hearing Liang Cheng’s answer, Zheng Fan felt relieved.
Although I have no intention of attacking this city, since they have opened the city gate, I have to go in, right?
Is it possible that you can still say to others:
No, you go back first and continue to defend the city until I come to attack the city next time!
Zheng Fan is not Li Fusheng, and he does not have such a strong desire to kill. At that moment, the cavalry began to move forward, and the entire team pressed forward.
"Kong Mingde, who is the chief registrar of Qingshan County, please see your lord!"
"Zhang Hongqi, the captain of the Imperial Military Academy, who is the humble official, please see your lord!"
One is the local chief registrar ,
One is a captain of the Imperial Army,
The one headed by the one tied into a rice dumpling should be the magistrate of Qingshan County.
The county magistrate was gagged and kept struggling "whimpering" with indignation in his eyes. When he looked at the two people around him and the Yan people, he looked extremely disgusted!
Zheng Fan pointed at the county magistrate and said:
"Cut it down."
The county magistrate heard this sound command, the struggle became more intense!
Zheng Fan smiled, although he felt that it was wrong for him to smile at this time.
Because no matter what, since the county magistrate in front of him will be escorted out by his subordinates to ask for surrender, it is obviously because he intends to hold on and does not intend to surrender.
He is a tough-minded person with integrity and a respectable person.
He should have accepted his fate, but he is probably still preparing to face the Yan people’s persuasion to surrender after the stuff in his mouth is taken away.
He was going to spit on the ground,
swear loudly:
"Bah, Yangou, I, XXX, will never surrender until I die!"
As a result, Zheng Fan jumped directly.
Liang Cheng stepped forward and killed the county magistrate with one blow..
In fact, this county magistrate may have no integrity left, because since he plans to defend the city, he still uses deserters to defend the city, and at the same time he cannot deal with the local forces in Qingshan County. This proves that this county magistrate has no moral integrity left. Your professional skills are indeed quite poor.
Kong Mingde and Zhang Hongqi knelt on the ground, trembling.
Obviously, skipping steps will make both parties a little uncomfortable.
"My lord, are you entering the city?"
Liang Cheng asked.
"Come in, and then come out."
"I obey."
Next, a scene that surprised the people of Qingshan County appeared.
The Yan army rushed into the city with great momentum, then circled around the city, and then drove out of the city in full view of everyone.
The common people were confused,
the guards were confused,
Kong Mingde and Zhang Hongqi were also confused,
Zheng Fan was He rode his horse and walked up to the two of them.
The two of them knew that the young man in front of them was the leader of the Yan army and they hurriedly lowered their heads.
Zheng Fan took off his sword and threw it directly in front of the two of them.
He said:
"My surname is Zheng, and my name is Zheng Fan. I know if you have heard of me, okay, I am pleased with you, and I will give this knife to you two."
Zheng Fan pointed at Kong Mingde and said:
"You are the magistrate of Qingshan County."
Kong Mingde looked at the knife on the ground, then looked up at Zheng Fan. He was a little surprised, but he quickly reacted and kowtowed:
p>"Thank you, sir."
Zheng Fan pointed at Zhang Hongqi again and said:
"You are guarding Qingshan County."
" Thank you, sir."
"Send someone to Chuzhou City to deliver a message to Wen Sutong, saying that you have joined me, Dayan."
"I humbly obey my order."
"I humbly obey my orders."
After speaking,
Zheng Fan waved his hand, and
all the sergeants followed Zheng Fan around Qingshan County.
Zhang Hongqi and Kong Mingde, who had not gotten up from their knees for a long time, looked at each other.
They both saw doubts in each other's eyes.
What on earth is Yan Ren doing? Which one comes from?
Actually, Zheng Fan didn’t know exactly what he was playing.
Yes, he just said that this place is suitable for development, but he never thought of taking over the city today.
And now that the Yan army has not even left a single soldier in Chuzhou City, how can it be possible to divide its troops to guard Qingshan County?
If Zheng Fan really dares to keep troops here, if he keeps too few, they will be ineffective. If he keeps too many, he will be severely punished by Li Fusheng. This is disrespect for military orders. This kind of mistake on the battlefield will not matter whether Zheng Fan is It doesn’t work for anyone who favors someone.
It’s not like I haven’t thought about leaving a demon king here to watch the show, so I should sort out this place in advance.
But once you come here, there may be changes in the future, and it may even change hands. Each of the seven demon kings is more important to Zheng Fan than thousands of troops.
Secondly, we have to continue going south. We have agreed to play together. It would be inappropriate for you to leave someone here now, because the person left behind has to worry about whether he will suddenly Death suddenly.
The most important thing is whether I will be assigned to Qingshan County in the future, and I still don’t know a word about it!
So, I can only ban two officials casually like this, and then leave directly.
It is not a big problem to be granted official status. According to the style of work of the upper class of Yan State, it is definitely understandable. After all, there is no reason for you to just ignore someone who surrenders in Kaicheng. .
However, because of this delay, it was already late at night when Zheng Fan and his men caught up with the main force.
As soon as Zheng Fan entered the camp, he received a military order saying that Li Fusheng was already angry when he saw that he was not returning.
Without any choice, Zheng Shoubei did not care about rest, so he immediately went to the military camp. As soon as he finished reporting and entered the military tent, Li Fusheng, who was sitting on the blanket, directly cursed:
"Zhi Niang, you returned to camp so late. I asked you to keep an eye on Qingshan City. Could it be that you went to knock down Qingshan City?"
Zheng Fan was stunned for a moment and asked. :
"Sir, do you know everything?"
"Well, what do I know?"
"Qingshan City was captured by my subordinates."
"..." Li Fusheng.
Li Fusheng waited for a while and then said:
"Tell me in detail."
Zheng Fan told what happened. Of course, what about Wolong? Things like development land were naturally skipped.
After listening to Zheng Fan’s narration, Li Fusheng patted his thigh and said with emotion:
“Zheng Shoubei, your luck is truly unparalleled.”
"Actually, it was because of the battle the day before yesterday that Ganren's courage collapsed. Ganren was afraid of the bravery of his subordinates, so he surrendered without any intention of defending the city."
"Don't say nice things. Although there is no difference between whether this city was captured or not, it will be recorded in the credit book for you."
"Thank you, sir!"
"Okay, okay, let's talk about business."
"Business?"
"I received a military report at night that half of Li Bao's troops were in Beihe County. , and defeated the 80,000 Xiang army led by the Jiedushi of Beihe County."
When Li Fusheng said this, he looked a little angry.
Because of the incident in Chuzhou City, his troops were delayed for a few more days. This also means that up to now, they have not yet left Chu County and have not yet entered Beihe County.
As a result, Li Bao's troops had already entered Beihe County and were engaged in a big battle.
"The Xiang army of Qian Kingdom is nothing but trash." Zheng Fan said.
The Xiang army of the Qian Kingdom basically knows much more about farming than fighting. Such an army really has no combat effectiveness.
Moreover, the Xiang army in Beihe County had been screened before, and all the soldiers and generals who were still of some quality were screened out, and the Beihe County Jiedu envoy handed them over to his son-in-law Han Wudai. Heading north, they were part of the cadre army that Li Fusheng defeated the day before yesterday.
This is enough to show what kind of scum is left in the Xiang army in Beihe County.
"They are all trash. I beat 30,000 pieces of trash, but Li Bao beat 80,000, but he, Li Bao, overshadowed him!"
Yes,
What Li Fusheng is unhappy about is this,
the competition within his own group.
"Then what are Master Li Bao's troops doing now?"
"They continued southward without taking any rest."
Hiss, they are so anxious. What?
Zheng Fan thought about what the blind man said in the afternoon, and combined with what Li Fusheng said about General Li Bao's command, he only had half of the army.
It seems that the two princes, Zhenbeihou and Jingnanhou, have nearly 200,000 troops in their hands and have been roaming and hiding in the Chujun territory, waiting for the troops from the three sides of the Qian Kingdom to return for reinforcements.
What really went south from Chu County was Li Fusheng's half of the town and Li Bao's half of the town.
The purpose of these two troops is to go south, go south, and go south again, until they penetrate Qian Qian’s heart, forcing Emperor Qian to issue an edict to urge troops from all three sides to return for reinforcements.
This is a general strategy, but on a small level, Li Fusheng and Li Bao are racing. Whoever reaches the capital first will be the first.
This is not just a fight for breath, but also has deeper political and future development implications.
Since the Zhenbei Army has gone south, it is impossible to bring them all back to Beifeng County. It is destined that more than half of the Zhenbei Army will continue to stay.
To be realistic, a fool can make a choice wherever it is comfortable and where he can live a good life. Even if these general soldiers don't care, even people like Li Fusheng probably prefer to be unscrupulous in the desert. It was just fun to exterminate the entire clan, but what about the men under his command?
Sometimes, as a leader, you have to represent not only yourself, but also the collective interests of the people behind you.
It’s just that Li Bao’s troops and horses are really as their name suggests, they are extremely fast, and they probably won’t be able to catch up.
"Sir, I have a plan."
"Oh? Tell me."
Li Fusheng has obviously tried it with his generals before. Yes, there must be no other way to ask Zheng Fan.
After all, before the battle the day before yesterday, Zheng Fan's military level was recognized by Li Fusheng.
Zheng Fan took a deep breath and exhaled it slowly. This time there was no off-site connection and he had to rely on himself. However, he really had a way.
"Sir, if we can slow down a little bit, we canThey reached Shangjing faster than Master Li Bao's team. "
"Slower? "Li Fusheng looked at Zheng Fan with some doubts.
"Sir, Mr. Li Bao's group has already entered the hinterland of Beihe County. It will be a matter of time before they enter Xishan County. But after entering Xishan County, what happened? No matter how stupid you are, you still know what Mr. Li Bao is going to do. Therefore, he will definitely summon all the combatable troops in the capital and nearby areas. For his own face and the face of their officials, he will definitely He will try his best to stop Mr. Li Bao's attempt to drive directly from Xishan County to Beijing.
Ganren absolutely does not want me, Dayan Cavalry, to appear outside Shangjing City. "
"You mean, let me deliberately slow down in the back and let Li Bao face the pressure of killing someone alone? ”
The Qian Kingdom has a large number of soldiers and horses, and the number of soldiers and horses in the military register is so many that it can scare a person to death.
Of course, in reality, although the number of soldiers and horses is greatly reduced, it is relatively small. Compared with Yan State, it is really not that small.
Although many of the troops are not very good at fighting, there are still a few troops that can help a little bit. No one would doubt it.
The 80,000 Xiang troops that Li Bao defeated earlier could only be said to be miscellaneous soldiers of the Qian Kingdom. However, when he led his troops further, he received news. The Qianguo court could immediately mobilize as many elites as possible from the surrounding areas to defend Xishan County or even Bianzhou County.
If there were no soldiers like Li Fusheng as backup or to help share the burden. Under pressure, it would be really difficult for Li Bao to break through Gan Ren's defense.
Of course, if Gan Ren is really ineffective and allows Li Bao to break through, there is no way.
"Zheng Shoubei, although we have been fighting against each other in the six towns of the Northern Army, we will never do anything that pleases our enemies on the battlefield. ”
Li Fusheng’s expression and words began to become serious. Obviously, Zheng Fan’s suggestion had touched Li Fusheng’s heart.
Zheng Fan immediately replied:
p>"Sir, Lord Li Bao's troops are in the front to attract the attention of the Gan people, so that the few combatable soldiers near the capital will be attracted to Lord Li Bao.
Our army has the opportunity to find a gap in Qianren's defense, penetrate directly through it, and attack Shangjing!
The soldiers came to Beijing in alarm. This is the real purpose of our army's march south this time.
My subordinates believe that Mr. Li Bao understands the righteousness and is willing to cover and involve our army and help our army move south to Beijing.
In fact, Mr. Li Bao marched so eagerly just to create distance for our army and create opportunities for our army. It can be said that he has good intentions and understands the righteousness! ”
“Well...”
Li Fusheng was thoughtful,
Li Bao’s face and that face immediately appeared in his mind. There is a strong smell of garlic in his mouth all day long.
Li Fusheng has long said that he is a rough person.Human, and a bit stupid himself.
But in front of Li Bao, Li Fusheng has always had a psychological advantage, because among the seven generals of the Zhenbei Army, the most stupid one is Li Bao.
I like to eat the most, I like to eat alone, I like to fight for military glory, I like to snatch opportunities, I like to snatch everything, and the appearance of eating is the most ugly!
But Li Fusheng still said with emotion:
"It is extremely, extremely, I have always admired Li Bao's character."
