Chapter 200: Blitzkrieg (Part II)
The top of the Deep State is caught in a heated argument.
After the Battle of Shenzhou, Li Anguo took Li Che's coffin back to Zhenzhou for burial, and Suning naturally followed.
Although the war was temporarily suspended, the hostility between the two sides did not ease, Shi Yi returned to Yingzhou, but he was still eyeing Shenzhou, and Shenzhou was obsessed with revenge, and naturally he was always watching Yingzhou, and the scouts on both sides on the border explored the horses, and the conflict never stopped. Uprooting the other side's outpost is the most enjoyable thing for both sides.
Today you sent a team of troops to sweep one of my outposts on the border, and tomorrow I must retaliate back, you come and go, the scale of the battle is very small under the restraint of both sides, but the intensity is not inferior or even more than the big battle. Because of such a battle, the losing side basically has no possibility of escaping.
Today, Changshi Huang Shang and Don't drive Du Teng broke out into a fierce quarrel, which made the other civil and military officials look at each other, not knowing what to do, Huang Shang blushed and his neck was thick, and after being anxious, a series of people also squirted out of his mouth, but looking at the appearance of those civil officials holding back their laughter, a group of military attachés who couldn't understand also knew that this was not a good word. Don't drive Du Teng is to roll up his sleeves and squeeze his fists to the point of a clatter, and the scolding on the street is also open to the mouth, and the two high-ranking officials have no grace to scold, but it has opened the eyes of Hu Twelve.
Hu Twelve, who was sitting in the corner, watched it with relish, so he just had a plate of melon seeds and two taels of wine in front of him. Don't look at the usual subordinates, in front of the people, they are well-dressed, polite, and behind closed doors, there is no difference from ordinary people.
What they are arguing about is indeed a big deal.
The scouts first found that the soldiers and horses of Yingzhou were dispatched on a large scale, which made the Shenzhou side naturally like a great enemy, and while reporting to Zhenzhou, a large-scale military mobilization was also started, but then it was found that the soldiers and horses of Yingzhou were going to the direction of Zhangwu, and then came more shocking news, the army of Henghai Zhushou was dispatched to defeat the rebel general Liu Chenglin.
Obviously, Yingzhou Shi Yi is going to help Zhu Shou attack Jingzhou on both sides.
Regarding Liu Chenglin's sudden defection from Henghai, to be honest, the feelings of these civil and military officials in Shenzhou are very complicated. First, when Henghai was in the tripartite alliance, like Zhenwu, he successively counterattacked the water and attacked Chengde, which once put Chengde in a deep predicament. In short, you can carry a small bench to watch the excitement.
But Liu Chenglin betrayed Henghai, and the one who had the most to do with him was Li Ze of Wuyi. Li Ze sought to marry Liu Chenglin's sister, and the two families formed a family, which can be said to be the biggest factor that contributed to Liu Chenglin's rebellion from Henghai. Thinking that if Jingzhou can survive, Li Ze's power will inevitably rise sharply, and his momentum will be stronger, and the possibility of becoming a master in the future will increase.
And this, for them, is not a good thing.
It was in this contradictory mood that Huang Shang and Du Teng had a fierce conflict over whether to send troops to Yingzhou.
Huang Shang thinks it's time to send troops.
Henghai is the enemy, Lu Long is also the enemy, as far as the current situation in the north is concerned, the enemies of Henghai and Lu Long are naturally Chengde's friends. No matter what relationship this person has with Li Ze, the existence of Jingzhou will inevitably pose a threat to both Henghai and Yingzhou, which is a great thing for Shenzhou, so we can't sit back and watch the two families attack Liu Chenglin and make Liu Chenglin fail. In this way, the Deep State has one less means to contain the enemy.
And Du Teng is standing on Suning's position, believing that Liu Chenglin is Li Ze's person, since Li Ze and Suning do not share the sky, then Liu Chenglin is naturally Suning's enemy, and if he does not fall into the well, it is already a manifestation of the noble morality of the people of Shenzhou, and if he wants to send troops to threaten Yingzhou to force Shi Yi to retreat, don't think about it.
Both of them have a point, and the civil and military officials below are even more at a loss.
Of course, Hu Twelve supported Huang Shang's troops, but Gongzi told him that now he has to hide himself deeply and play the role of Suning's henchman general, don't say more, don't do more.
Moreover, in this hall now, although he has a thousand armor soldiers, if you really want to talk about combat effectiveness, the soldiers and horses led by other generals are not as good as these people he has fought a lot of tough battles, but in terms of qualifications, he is indeed the most tender, because the others are basically Suning's old subordinates, and they are those survivors who escaped from the battlefield with him.
The civil and military officials in the hall began to choose sides. The vast majority of the civil officials sided with Huang Shang, and similarly, the vast majority of the military attachés sided with Du Teng.
When everyone was naturally divided into two factions, Hu Twelve, who was still sitting motionless in the corner, was particularly eye-catching.
Huang Shang and Du Teng's eyes fell on him.
Hu Twelve held a thousand armor soldiers in his hand, and this thousand armor soldiers were completely held in the palm of his hand, and he was a powerful force that could not be ignored in Shenzhou City.
Du Teng looked at Hu Twelve with a smile, this is the candidate he personally picked up, shouldn't he be born to support him?
It seems that seeing Hu Twelve's hesitation, Huang Shang naturally will not forget to enlist the support of this person.
Hu Twelve stood up with some embarrassment.
"Captain Hu, don't you have any ideas? I'd like to hear about it!" Huang Shang's voice was very gentle.
"Xiaohu, tell him what you think." Du Teng is confident.
Hu Twelve laughed, turned his head to look at the people on both sides, and said: "I don't know Li Ze, and I don't know how much power there is here, if you really want me to say anything, I want to say, I have fought with Lu Longren several times, I have killed hundreds of brothers, I can't wait to pick their skin and smoke their tendons."
Du Teng's face changed.
Many of the generals standing behind him also had their faces changed drastically.
In the first battle of Yingzhou, the people of Shenzhou suffered heavy losses, 2,000 armor soldiers and tens of thousands of soldiers, all of whom were lost in the hands of Shi Yi in Yingzhou. Among them, how many of them are their subordinates, friends, and relatives?
The sound of footsteps sounded, and several generals hung their heads and walked behind Huang Shang.
The smile on Huang Shang's face was even bigger. Du Teng glared at Hu Twelve fiercely, his face pale.
"Du Beijia, the eldest prince died in the hands of Lu Longren, they are now going to fight Liu Chenglin, if we can bite them at this time, or even if we are lucky, then Shi Yi will be entangled by Liu Chenglin, maybe we can still defeat Yingzhou, at that time, wouldn't it be extremely gratifying for the eldest prince who died in Yingzhou in the spirit of the sky? I think Su Tingshi will be very happy too."
Having said that, the few remaining generals standing behind Du Teng also walked to Huang Shang's side.
Huang Shang laughed: "Du Beijia, this matter is decided, we will send troops to Yingzhou, or you will lead the troops, act when the opportunity arises, and take advantage of it, we must not let it go, I will take care of the logistics for you and manage the back road, how about it?"
So far, what else can Du Teng say? He could only nod.
Shenzhou soldiers and horses, pouring out of the nest, 3,000 armor soldiers, tens of thousands of soldiers, approaching in the direction of Yingzhou.
And at this time in Jingzhou, Sun Zhi was in a moment of high nervousness, he already knew that Yingzhou Shi Yi led his troops to attack, although Jingzhou still has a thousand armor soldiers and thousands of soldiers, but he really has no confidence at all.
He had never commanded a soldier or a horse to fight a big battle, and when he thought that he was about to deal with Shi Yi, Lu Long's famous general, his legs and stomach were a little tendoned.
But now it's time to catch the ducks on the shelves, and he's going to have to do it. Liu Chenglin in front of him has passed on the good news, which has made Zhu Shou's army have not crossed the territory of Jingzhou so far, and Yingzhou's side can only rely on him now.
Liu Chenglin doesn't care about Jingzhou City at all now. He left a thousand armor soldiers and thousands of soldiers to Sun Zhi, which was used to resist the possible attack from Yingzhou. How is Jingzhou doing, he can only hope for Sun Zhi. Now, he was devoting all his energy to the battle in front of him.
With Liu Changfeng's two thousand young men advancing in the direction of Hejian Mansion to attract Zhu Shou's attention, Liu Chenglin himself quietly left Renqiu with the main force of a thousand armor soldiers, first detoured back to Jingzhou, and then went out day and night, all the way towards Suning.
On the fifth day when Zhu Shou led the main force to leave Suning, Liu Chenglin took his armor soldiers and launched a surprise attack on Suning's Henghai camp when the sky was dark.
Zhu Jun, the general left behind in Henghai, was surprised, he couldn't figure out how Liu Chenglin, this guy, killed another horse gun and returned to Suning.
But what he is now carrying is the army of Cangzhou, well-trained, even if it is attacked, it is only a local chaos, although the left wing battalion is broken, but the left wing is broken and not chaotic, and is still desperately resisting, this right battalion and the middle battalion provide time to gather forces to counterattack.
As the information came to Zhu Jun's ears one by one, Zhu Jun also figured out that Liu Chenglin actually came to attack his camp with only a thousand people, which made Zhu Jun angry and happy.
Liu Chenglin is too blind, is it really me a mud and paper paste?
With the order of Zhu Jun, the right flank and the Chinese army rushed towards the left camp, and the two armies circled a large arc, intending to encircle Liu Cheng's department in the left camp, and then encircle and annihilate it.
No matter how fierce Liu Chenglin is, he is just one person, and he only carries a thousand armor soldiers.
In the left camp, Liu Chenglin is indeed like a killing god, one person, one horse and one gun, everywhere he goes, the gods and ghosts are easy, the Cangzhou army is defeated by him, the blood flows like a river, and can only barely maintain the defensive position, and a thousand soldiers and horses follow Liu Chenglin, and walk out of a flesh and blood road in the left camp.
When the sound of the golden drum was loud, Liu Chenglin, who was on the war horse, saw the Cangzhou army that was surrounded by the left and right wings, he turned the horse's head and shouted Let's go. Turned around and killed again.
Although the poor Zuo battalion had 3,000 men and horses, it was first attacked by Liu Chenglin, and then he was forcibly killed.
