Chapter 819: Qin Zhen
Tang Ning and Wei Qingfeng were both concerned about the situation of the desolate army, and the desolate army had already arrived in Qinzhen, and this march was familiar to the desolate people, after all, they would come here almost every year to fight the autumn wind.
The army set up camp thirty miles away from Qin Town, and several horsemen went straight to the camp of the desolate tribe.
"Stop! Who? ”
"We are Da Zhou Jin Yiwei, we want to see Zhou Qianhu and Master Fan!"
The Desolate Clan didn't know the situation in Qin Town now, but Da Zhou had Jinyi Guard's secret agent activities, so they waited for the arrival of the Desolate Clan's army outside Qin Town early.
Fan Wencheng and the accompanying Jinyiwei had actually been waiting for the Jinyiwei to investigate, and Fan Wencheng asked with concern, "How is it?" Have the steppe and Jingying armies already moved south? ”
"The army of the steppe and the capital of the camp has already moved south, and now it has reached Gyeongju!" Jin Yiwei said respectfully.
Zhou Qianhu asked, "What happened in the battle of Liuzhou?" ”
Jin Yiwei shook his head and said: "We don't know this, the news hasn't come yet, we only know that Liuzhou has gathered 200,000 troops, and the morale is very strong." ”
Fan Wencheng said with a smile: "We are also worried in vain, my army going south is an elite division, the grassland cavalry is also an elite cavalry, the emperor is eloquent, General Lin and General Yao are all famous generals, let's just wait to hear the good news!" ”
Zhou Qianhu smiled: "That's the same!" Let's think about how to take Qin Zhen first! Let's talk about it, what is the situation in Qin Zhen now? ”
They went to the Great Wilderness with the high priest for a winter, as if they were isolated from the world, and they did not know anything about the situation in Qinzhen or Gyeongju today.
But now listening to Jin Yiwei's report, everything is going according to the established plan, and Jin Yiwei began to report the situation in Qin Zhen in detail.
There were Jinyi guards entering the barracks, and the high priest knew earlier than Fan Wencheng, and he knew that he must have come to report on the situation in Qin Town.
Now they are still smearing Qin Zhen, since they want to capture Qin Zhen, of course, it is easier to know themselves and their opponents.
"High Priest, Lord Fan and Zhou Qianhu ask to meet."
"Let them in!" The High Priest laughed.
Fan Wencheng and Zhou Qianhu walked in, only to find that there was not only one high priest in the big tent, but also Yun Ye and other generals.
"I've seen the High Priest!" Fan Wencheng and Zhou Qianhu greeted each other slightly.
The high priest smiled and said, "Lord Fan and Zhou Qianhu have brought us good news!" ”
Fan Wencheng and Zhou Qianhu understood when they saw so many people in the big tent, and said with a smile: "There is good news coming, there are secret agents in the imperial court collecting news in Qin Town, although it is impossible to find out the specific distribution of troops, but the general situation is still some." ”
When the people heard this, they were all in good spirits, and the high priest smiled and said, "I want to hear about it!" ”
Fan Wencheng said with a smile: "Now the commander of Qinzhen's army is Sheng Hua, the former commander of the Kyoto Forbidden Army. ”
Many of the generals in the big tent were stunned when they heard this, obviously they had not heard of this character, and the high priest muttered: "It turned out to be him, I heard that he was the nephew of the Empress Dowager of Nanchu at the time, and he had a lot to do with the temple. ”
Fan Wencheng said with a smile: "Yes, this person is also in a high position in Southern Chu, and he also came to Qin Town to fight in his early years, but later, he has been promoted in Kyoto." ”
"Originally, before Wei Qingfeng went to guard Liuzhou, he recommended Fu Lan, the deputy marshal, but he didn't pass it, and the generals of Qin Town were very dissatisfied with this."
"Now that half of Qin Zhen's main soldiers and horses have been transferred, the combat power of the additional soldiers and horses is much inferior, and the generals of Qin Zhen have a lot of contradictions with each other, but they are suppressed by the upcoming war."
Fan Wencheng said in detail, and the generals listened attentively, and the high priest smiled: "Not to mention whether the generals of Qin Zhen have any contradictions, whether they will work together, it's just that Qin Zhen's soldiers and horses have been replaced by as much as half, which is good news for us, and compared to Wei Qingfeng, Sheng Hua is much inferior." ”
"In fact, Wei Qingfeng is not just a commander for Qin Zhen, he has become a banner of Qin Zhen, and he can boost morale with him. Sheng Hua not to mention how to lead the troops to fight, changing generals in battle is a taboo for soldiers. ”
Fan Wencheng smiled: "It's a big taboo for them, but it's a big benefit for us." ”
Yun Ye said loudly: "Yes, it's a big profit for us, let's take Qin Zhen directly in one go!" ”
The high priest muttered, "I'm wondering, what kind of mentality is Sheng Hua now? He was born noble and has always been smooth, and now that he is in charge of Qin Town, he is questioned, and he must be eager to prove himself. ”
Fan Wencheng nodded and said: "That's true, Sheng Hua is very proud, and even Wei Qingfeng was a little dissatisfied when he was in the capital. ”
The high priest said: "The heart is really high, although I haven't seen Wei Qingfeng, but I have dealt with Qin Zhen so much, Wei Qingfeng is indeed a masterpiece, and even Fu Lan is not an idle person." ”
Fan Wencheng smiled: "What is the good plan of the high priest? ”
The high priest muttered, "Since Sheng Hua is arrogant, why don't you lead him out to fight?" ”
Fan Wencheng shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it's not so easy, although Ronghua is conceited, but he is not stupid, it is impossible to lead the troops out of the field, although he is now guarding Qin Town, but if he wants to lead the troops to fight, the resistance is not small, and the generals of Qin Town will definitely not agree." ”
The high priest laughed and said, "What if you give him an excuse to send troops?" ”
Fan Wencheng asked, "Excuses?" What excuse? ”
The High Priest said, "Attack the Urn City!" If Sheng Hua is conceited and wants to prove himself, he will probably send troops in the name of rescuing Urn City! ”
Fan Wencheng nodded and said, "The high priest is a good plan!" Maybe, it can really lead Sheng Hua to send troops. ”
The generals nodded one after another, if they could lead the Qinzhen army into battle and defeat the Qinzhen army in one fell swoop, then the Qinzhen defenders would inevitably be demoralized, and with the loss of troops, it would be easier to attack Qinzhen again.
After saying this, the high priest asked, "I don't know what is going on in Liuzhou?" ”
Fan Wencheng said with a smile: "The emperor has led the Jingying army and the grassland cavalry to Gyeongju, but there is no latest news yet, and I don't know what the battle situation is." Wei Qingfeng raised 200,000 troops to defend Liuzhou, which is not trivial. ”
The high priest said with a smile: "Wei Qingfeng is indeed a masterpiece, and the 200,000 army in Liuzhou is not trivial, but the emperor personally came to 300,000 elite soldiers, and it is not a problem to break Liuzhou." ”
Fan Wencheng nodded and smiled: "I don't know when the high priest is going to move his troops?" ”
The high priest muttered: "The soldiers are fast, tomorrow we will rest for a day, and the day after tomorrow will move the troops, we can't let the generals of Gyeongju specialize in the front, we must also hurry up and capture Qinzhen." ”
Troops the day after tomorrow? Fan Wencheng was very excited, and the generals were also very excited, Yun Ye laughed and said: "The day after tomorrow, Lord Fan, let's see how we can break the soldiers and horses of Qin Town!" ”
