In a bush of reeds at the mouth of the river, a well-guarded warship hides in it.

There was a flapping sound, and a carrier pigeon landed on the arm of a man in black at the bow of the boat. The man in black took the small bamboo tube tied from the feet of the carrier pigeon, poured out a note from it, and turned into the tightly clothed, impermeable cabin.

"King Zheng, King Chen's military order has arrived." The man in black saluted a man in his thirties in the cabin.

The man in black handed the letter into the hands of the man in the fancy clothes, and turned around and walked out of the cabin.

"How?" A burly man in armor in the cabin asked the man in Chinese clothes.

"Chen Kefu said that he would act according to the original plan, and he would be there soon." The man in Huayi is Wang Shichong's eldest son, Wang Xuanying, who was renamed King Zheng by Chen Ke. When he said this, he was a little relieved and a little worried.

Glancing at the several generals in full armor in the cabin, he couldn't help but say, "Everyone, are we really going to send troops to help Chen Kefu?" Chen Kefu is not a good type, but I am afraid that after he solves Li Mi this time, we will be next. ”

Wang Xuanying's uncle Wang Shiwei sighed, "Now that it's over, do we have a better choice?" The head of the family, Chen Kefu is indeed a big threat, but Chen Kefu's threat is still in the future. On the contrary, our real threat now is Li Mi. If we don't agree to act with Chen Kefu, then Chen Kefu will definitely not act alone. If Chen Kefu doesn't make a move, then who can still make Li Mi? Now Li Mi has surrounded Luoyang. and stationed troops in the mountains, separating us from the eastern capital. It won't be long before there will be Li Mi in Luoyang and Yang Jun in Hedong, and our Wang family will be finished. Chen Kefu's threat is still in the future, but Li Mi's threat is imminent. We have to get past this hurdle. to be able to talk about others. ”

Such a simple truth, these people in the cabin are either Wang Shichong's brothers, or Wang Shichong's sons and nephews, these are their own family members who crisscrossed the Jianghuai River with Wang Shichong back then, how could they not understand. Now seeing that Wang Xuanying, who is the head of the family, is still hesitating. One of them couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

Wang Xuanying nodded helplessly, "However, do you uncles think Chen Kefu has a chance of winning this battle?" We only have this bit of money left now, but we can't all follow Chen Ke to recover everything. ”

Wang Xuanying's other uncle, Wang Shiyun, said, "Chen Kefu is the king of Hebei, since he dares to take the initiative to challenge Li Mi with 50,000 people, he must be completely sure. I have studied a lot of Chen Kefu's combat experience in previous years. Chen Kefu has always been bold and careful, and he never fights unprepared battles. Although the soldiers love to take risks, they are not reckless, and they can always win a big victory with less grams. Since he entered Hebei, he has rarely gone into battle in person. This time, he didn't use Li Jing not far away, but hurriedly went into battle in person, which must have seized a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We are all the ones who lead the army in battle, and we all understand the importance of warplanes. So. There's no need to worry about this battle. ”

Hearing the words of several uncles, Wang Xuanying finally took a reassuring pill and was much more relieved. He didn't hesitate anymore at the moment, and got up and said, "The king ordered to go down according to the previous plan. Immediately, Shiheng, the prince of Qinjun, led Wang Long, Wang Quan, Wang Kai, and Wang Su generals to command 30,000 soldiers and horses, and immediately set up troops to cross the Yellow River and attack Jin Yong City in Pishan. This battle. Be sure to contain the enemy in Kim Yong City and not allow him to send reinforcements to the east. ”

"Immediately! General Duan Da of Xiangyuan County, the eastern capital, and four generals of Huangfu Wuyi, Wei Jin, and Yuan Wendu, led 100,000 troops from Luoyang out of the city to attack the Yan Division, not seeking to annihilate the enemy, but must hold back the enemy of the Yan Division, and never let go of a soldier to return to Li Mi. ”

"Immediately! The prince led 100,000 Jianghuai strong troops, Wang Shishi, Wang Shiyun, Wang Shiwei, Wang Qianshou, Wang Bian, Wang Xingben, Wang Honglie, Wang Hao, Wang Renze, Wang Daocheng, Wang Daoxun, Wang Daoling, Wang Tai, Wang Jundu, Yan Qi, Chen Zhiluo and other generals all accompanied him. Join the army of King Chen and cross the river to attack Li Mi. ”…,

"No!" The generals stand and receive the command.

In this battle, in order to solve the big enemy of Li Mi in front of them, the Wang family took out all the old books. Not only did his uncle Shiheng lead 30,000 soldiers and horses to feint an attack on Kim Yong, but only 20,000 soldiers and horses were left to guard Heyang. And he and all the uncles, uncles, brothers, and younger brothers from top to bottom of the Wang family all went into battle, and they also brought the last 100,000 old books. The Wang family is right, if Li Mi is defeated in this battle, their Wang family will have time to think about other things. If you can't even get past the current level, then you don't have to wait for Chen Kefu's future threat, Li Mi and Yang Mian will swallow up their last bit of capital.

One after another, orders were passed down, and someone had already sent the orders to the man in black, who was a special service officer sent by Chen Kefu to contact Wang Xuanying's army, and he had a carrier pigeon in his hand that quickly transmitted messages. After receiving the order, the officer finally had a smile on his face, nodded, and immediately turned to send the letter.

Not long after, a soldier came running from the estuary, "Report to King Zheng, here, the Hebei Navy Division has arrived, and it has landed at the estuary." ”

Wang Xuanying nodded and waved his hand, "Let's go!" ”

On the Yellow River in the dark night, in addition to the sound of waves and water, it gradually became more noisy, but there were many officers who pressed it, but there was not much sound.

Groups of Jianghuai soldiers sailed to the tall battleships parked in the night, and the non-commissioned officers of the Jianghuai Army boarded such a tall battleship for the first time, and many of them felt that their legs were a little weak. In particular, the five-story ships stood on the deck, taller than the tall gate towers.

Wang Xuanying boarded the Zhenhai battleship with many clansmen of the Wang family, and as soon as he got on the battleship, Wang Xuanying discovered a very surprising thing, there were only a small number of soldiers on board. As far as he knew, although Chen Kefu's ship was tall, the 50,000 sailors were still filled with most of the warships. What surprised him even more was that when they got on the boat, on the other side, the Hebei soldiers on the boat kept getting off the boat.

"Marshal Zhang, what's going on? Could it be that King Chen meant to let our Jianghuai army face Li Mi alone? "The Wang family is willing to fight this battle, firstly, because Li Mi's threat is imminent, and secondly, it is also in Chen Kefu's plan, they are not the main force in the front, they are fighting to cover up and support. But now, it makes them feel like they've been fooled.

Zhang Zhongjian saw their doubts and explained with a smile, "King Zheng misunderstood, there was a slight discrepancy in the matter, and King Chen revised his plan a little bit according to the latest information. The new plan was that Guo Xiaoke and General Lu Shishen had already led 30,000 men and horses ashore on the south bank in front. From there, they would take a trail over the mountain and go straight to Luokoucang Castle behind Li Mi. As for King Chen, he has just disembarked with 15,000 men, and he will follow our fleet in a moment. When we fought with Li Mi, they quietly continued down the river in small boats, until they landed at Niuzhukou, where the water enters the river, and attacked the tiger prison. ”

Wang Xuanying's face became a little ugly, "In this way, King Chen left five thousand people here?" There are 120,000 horses of Li Mi waiting there in Luokou, does King Chen mean that this king wants me to lead 100,000 Jianghuai troops under my command to fight against Li Mi? ”

Zhang Zhongjian smiled slightly and said, "No, there are also 5,000 men and horses of my Hebei Navy Division, and 180 warships. ”

"100,000 attacked Li Mi 120,000, Li Mi still waits for work, does King Chen want us to send us to death?" Wang Shiyun's face also became very ugly. In his opinion, Chen Kefu killed two birds with one stone, he himself pulled away all the soldiers and horses, and instead left their Wang family to fight Li Mi. The Jianghuai army is 100,000 and Li Mi is 120,000, no matter how they fight, this is a result of both defeats. …,

What Wang Shiyun could think of, of course other Wang family members could also think of, for a while, the faces of each Wang family were very gloomy, and even a few young generals of Wang Xuanying's generation showed a strong hostility and fierce light in their eyes, and they had a plan to do it if they didn't agree with each other.

Zhang Zhongjian didn't care, still smiling, and waited until the Wang family stopped talking, and then he said slowly, "I just said that the plan has changed somewhat." The original Luokou attack has now been changed to a feint. King Chen's latest plan was that the two cities of Luokou Cangcheng and Tiger Prison were empty, and King Chen planned to send King Zheng and Ben Shuai to make a feint attack at Luokou to attract Li Mi's attention first and drag down his main force. Then, after the other two lines of troops and horses have taken Luokou Cangcheng and Tiger Prison, they will attack Li Mi's army from the east and west, and then we will launch a real attack from the north. ”

"Feints? A feint of 100,000 people? Wang Xuanying's face was full of incredulity.

Luokou Cangcheng and Tiger Prison are both fortified cities, one is Li Mi's place to store grain, and the other is the east gate of Luoyang, these two cities are tall and strong. Although in the latest information, Li Mi urgently transferred most of the troops from these two places, there were only 10,000 people left in the Tiger Prison, and only 20,000 people left in Luokou Cangcheng. However, whether it is the Tiger Prison or Luokou Cangcheng, it is only a few hours away from Li Mi's army in Luokou, and once the surprise attack cannot be taken, Li Mi's soldiers and horses can arrive at any time.

And the Jianghuai army, which had 100,000 troops, was actually safely beaten and feinted.

If the Wang family just now felt that Chen Kefu was trying to trap them, and wanted them and Li Mi to fight to lose both, so as to pick up the cheap and be angry. Now, they feel a sense of being looked down upon. The dignified Jianghuai strong army, an army of 100,000, was actually arranged by Chen Kefu to make such a feint, which made everyone feel gloomy and angry in their hearts.

"King Zheng, King Chen left a sentence before leaving, that is, if King Zheng is not satisfied with this arrangement, then King Zheng can turn the feint into a real fight. If King Zheng decides to really fight, then our Hebei Navy Division is willing to provide long-range attack support. Zhang Zhongjian said again with a smile.

Wang Xuanying and the others were slightly stunned, but no one felt that they were being despised anymore, and they all immediately agreed to Chen Kefu's feint plan.
