Chapter 731: The Shadow Son Who Has Been Hidden for Several Years
On the Luo River, more than a dozen pontoon bridges have been erected, and soldiers and horses are stepping on the land of Zhengyang County in an endless stream. www.biquge.info Because of the retreat of the soldiers and horses of Li Wei and Gexiang to besiege the four counties of Beidi, Li Wei and Gexiang, a big hole was torn between Tzu Chi and Xinhua and the main force of the Yan army was through this big hole to break through to Zhengyang County.
"Lord Qin, this time my Dayan is already lonely, the whole army attacked, if the Qi army can't respond quickly and attack in Shayang, then even if I occupy Zhengyang County, I will immediately be attacked by the Ming army's crazy counterattack, the Ming people only need to put a soldier and horse in Qingtongxia, so that my Dayan army can not advance or retreat, this point, please inform your general." Murong Hong arched his hand.
Qin Li, who was dressed as a long journey, nodded and said: "His Majesty the Emperor can rest assured, this time because of the defeat of Li Weige Township and was forced to launch in advance, all parties are in a bit of a hurry, but I think that Ming Guo also did not expect that Li Weige Township would raise troops to rebel, so now everyone is in the same panic, my Daqi army and horses have already been deployed in place, all that is missing is that the grain and grass logistics are not fully ready, but don't worry too much, it will be the autumn harvest season soon, whether it is Shayang or Zhengyang, they are all grain producing areas, and it is completely feasible to get grain anywhere. When I return to the country this time, I will definitely urge the army to respond immediately, and His Majesty the Emperor can march with confidence. ”
"That's good!" Murong Hong nodded with satisfaction. "Which side of the Qin State is there?"
"On the other side of the Qin State, there are already corresponding envoys on the way out. This time, the three kingdoms sent troops together, what they wanted was to hit with one blow, completely defeat the Ming Kingdom, and the arrow was on the bow, so they had to send it, how could Deng Hong not understand this truth? I take my leave and hope to hear the good news from His Majesty the Emperor as soon as possible. ”
"As long as the Qi State responds in time, this battle will be worry-free." Murong Hong laughed: "At this time, presumably Li Weige and the two of them have already entered Zhengyang County, and with Zhengyang County as a basis, I am fully sure that I will defeat the Ming army." ”
Qin Li bowed goodbye and left, this time the emergency caught all parts of Yanqi a little off guard, originally planned to be launched at the end of September and early October, but now it is only the beginning of August, two months ahead of schedule.
Qin Li didn't tell the truth to Murong Hong. Qi State's military strength is still in the process of deployment, Qi State has a detailed study of Ming State's military strength, if you do not mobilize Qi's regular field army, in the battle with Ming, there is no possibility of victory, and it will take time to mobilize a regular field army, as far as the news is currently obtained, Qin Feng has deployed two field battalions of Tiger and Houtu to Shayang County, so that the strength has reached about 10,000 people, while Qi State has only gathered about 5,000 regular field troops in Dengxian County, and it is obviously unrealistic to want to attack Shayang County on a large scale.
Qi doesn't want to use the county soldiers to make up the numbers, these people go to the battlefield, I'm afraid they just add to the Ming army's military exploits, and when the time comes, the loss of manpower in vain will not be counted, and it will also greatly hurt the morale of Qi State. According to Qin Li's estimates, if the Qi State wants to launch a formal attack, it will be at least September.
But Qi people don't care. Let the Ming army fight a few battles with the Yan army first, so that the Yan army can attract more Ming troops, which is also a good choice for the Qi army.
In the eyes of the Qi people, after the Yan army took Zhengyang County, even if Qin Feng fought back with all his might, he would not be able to eat Murong Hong in a short time, and the two sides would definitely engage in a brutal tug-of-war.
Qi is not optimistic about Murong Hong, in the eyes of the Qi people, Murong Hong is just a knife in their hands that can be used, and the real alliance with them is the Qin people, the 100,000 Qin border army under the command of Deng Pu.
In the covenant between the two sides, it is bounded by Yuejing, half of which belongs to the Qi State and half to the Qin State.
Although this is a tripartite covenant, in the eyes of the Qi people, there is only one real partner, that is, the Qin State and the Yan State, which are not equal to them at all.
Tzu Chi County, Dazhu looked at the waves of enemy troops arriving in the distance, but there was a contemptuous smile on his face, it was Yuan Pu's army. Fuyuan's change, Yuan Pu cut off Jiang Haokun's head with a knife and surrendered to Murong Hong.
Looking at the high flagpole erected by the enemy camp that was camping on the opposite side, and the big flag with the word king fluttering on it, the big pillar laughed. The main force of the Yan army was rushing to Zhengyang County, but it turned out that Jiang Haokun's army was divided into two, one led by Yuan Pu to attack Xinhua, and the other led by Wang Gui to attack Tzu Chi. This banner of the king character naturally belongs to Wang Gui.
"General, the enemy has just arrived, we might as well take this opportunity to attack and catch them by surprise." Li Weiming, the general of the Shaking Mountain Battalion, suggested. "These troops are newly subdued and demoralized, and it is a good opportunity to beat the water dogs."
Dazhu blinked, "Why are you fighting?" What are you doing with them? ”
Li Weiming looked at Dazhu inexplicably, the enemy on the opposite side, and now that the main force of the enemy army is rushing to Zhengyang County, shouldn't the Tzu Chi defenders first annihilate the enemy in front of them, and then pursue the main force of the Yan army?
"Don't fight?"
"Well, don't fight!" Da Zhu pointed to the endless camp tents opposite, and said with pride: "Wei Ming, you see that this enemy army is always in the early 20,000s, but see that I went out of the city alone this evening, and I took them down." ”
Hearing Da Zhu's words, Li Weiming was directly dumbfounded, looking at Da Zhu's bewildered expression, could it be that General Da Zhu was drunk and actually talked nonsense here.
Dazhu is not talking nonsense. As night fell, and under the light of the stars, he really took only two guards with him, and swaggered open the city gates, and galloped towards the enemy camp opposite.
It wasn't until the moment before he went out that Li Weiming figured out that the supreme general of the enemy army in front of him, Wang Gui, had surrendered to the Taiping army at that time after that battle when His Majesty the Emperor had not yet ascended the throne and when he had defeated the Luo Yishui rebels, and then His Majesty the Emperor personally arranged to return to Pingyuan.
Wang's family, originally a wealthy family in Pingyuan, Wang Gui, led the soldiers of Pingyuan County to support Wu Jian, the former Yue Emperor, but his luck was not good, and he was defeated by Luo Yishui first, and then defeated by the Taiping army.
"Your Majesty is far-sighted, so far as it goes!" Li Weiming, who was standing on top of the city, shook his head and admired. It is no wonder that over the years, His Majesty the Emperor has been invincible and invincible, and it turns out that more effort is outside the battlefield.
Outside the camp, Wang Gui greeted the arrival of Dazhu with a smile on his face.
"General Otsuki."
"General Wang, hard work!" Dazhu turned over and dismounted, arching his hand, "Is everything ready?" Can you be sure? If you're not sure, the big pillar will become a dead pillar today, and I'm afraid you won't be able to run back. ”
Wang Gui smiled slightly: "Back then, I returned to Pingyuan with more than 1,000 soldiers, and used this as the backbone to rebuild the army. ”
Da Zhu smiled, among the more than 1,000 people brought back by Wang Gui back then, there were a lot of Eagle's Nest spies, and these people have now become the backbone of this army.
While the two walked towards the camp, Wang Gui introduced: "After Jiang Haokun's death, Murong Hong, out of the sake of dispersing Yuan Pu's power, vigorously wooed people like me, and distributed the original men and horses of Jiangbu to me about 5,000 people. ”
"These 5,000 people, can they be successfully subdued?"
"These 5,000 people are all Jiangbu people, Yuan Pu colluded with the Yan people to kill Jiang Haokun, they are full of resentment, but they don't dare to turn their faces, now they have the opportunity to avenge Jiang Haokun, they are only afraid that they will be desperate!" Wang Gui said with a smile.
Dazhu also laughed: "Jiang Haokun, this kid, knows underground that in the end, his subordinates surrendered to Daming in order to avenge him, and I don't know if he will cry or laugh?"
"It's supposed to be a laugh." Wang Gui replied with a smile. "Who's over there in Xinhua?"
"The kitten is in Xinhua, and the monks and the two of them also went there with the Ruijin camp, and the wolf camp of the wild dogs is at the bottom, and Yuan Pu is touching the egg with the stone this time, and there is no return." Dazhu said: "You and I have two armies together, and there are three war camps on the Xinhua side, and this time the Yan people will become the turtles in Weng under Zhengyang County." ”
"The most important thing is Zhengyang County, whether it can withstand the attack of the Yan army!" Wang Guidao. "If they can't bear it and let the Yan army break Zhengyang County, we will be in trouble, and the Yan army can run into Shayang County at that time, plus the Qi people attack, Shayang will be completely finished."
"Don't worry, there is already an arrangement at the end of Shayang." Dazhu shrugged, "We, just do our thing." ”
In Wang Gui's big tent of the Chinese army, the generals walked in one after another, and they were all very strange in their hearts, they just arrived during the day today, and the general was not going to attack overnight, right? The other party is waiting for work, but his own side is sleepy and lacking, which is unreasonable. Among them, there are naturally some people who know it, intentionally or unintentionally, standing beside those former Jiangbu generals, although there is a smile on their faces, they are holding the hilt of the knife in their hands.
Wang Gui's gaze slowly swept over the crowd, and he said with a smile: "I have gathered everyone here so late not to attack Tzu Chi, but to introduce a guest to everyone. General Ozuki, please! ”
As soon as Wang Gui's words fell, Dazhu had already lifted the big tent curtain, strode in, clasped his hands into fists, and arched his hands to the surroundings: "Dazhu, the commander of the Daming Shaking Mountain Battalion, has seen you, hahaha!" ”
There was a commotion in the big tent, and some generals who didn't know the truth were in an uproar, looking at the big pillar that was supposed to be their enemy, and appeared in front of them in a grand manner.
What does this mean, does it need to be said? Their main general has long been in collusion with the Ming people.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I don't need to say anything, I'm sure you've understood everything by now. I, Wang Gui, two years ago, was already the general of the Ming Kingdom, and sneaked back to Pingyuan on the orders of His Majesty the Emperor, in order to annihilate the barbarians in one fell swoop, and now I can officially tell you that the so-called Battle of Zhengyang is a grave dug by the Ming Kingdom for Murong Hong, and now Murong Hong has jumped into it without hesitation, and our task is to cover Murong Hong who jumped into the grave, do you have any objections? ”
