"Ah! Xu Xiao, this Heavenly Master and you are incompatible with each other, and we are incompatible with each other——"
Xu Zongwen defeated the 50,000 rebel troops stationed in Lou County and Kunshan with only 2,000 troops. The news spread to Wu County. General Sun En in the camp was thrown to the ground, vomiting blood, and his whole body fell from his seat. fell down...
"General, Kunshan is newly defeated and Qiantang is besieged. Even after the merger of the two armies, the total strength of our army is only sixty or seventy thousand. That Xu Xiao is not an easy person. The Hu people can only wait to be killed under his military power. In a head-on confrontation Our army will be defeated, and the situation is not optimistic!"
"Yuanlong, you have always been resourceful. The last time we captured Wuxian County, it was thanks to your decision-making. Now I don't know if you have any good strategies that you can teach me?"
"General, my subordinates really have a plan that may solve this dilemma!"
A scribe in white and a general left the Chinese army's tent. Many generals passed by them and rushed into the tent. On the surface, the whole battalion was worried about Sun En's safety, but in fact they were already considering their own advancement and retreat!
"Oh?" The general beside the scribe in white was a little surprised and tilted his head.
"General," the scribe in white paused and looked around, then whispered: "Brother, there are many people here, so why not go to the military tent to spy first..."
"Let's go! Let's go, let's go!" Outside the Chinese army's tent, a famous doctor was rushed in to see Sun En.
Not far away, the scribe in white and the general in armor did not even look back. Instead, they left the Chinese army's tent together. The two looked at the changing dark sky and continued to move forward, chatting as they walked.
The general's energy was not dampened and his eyes were bright: "Our army is really weak at the moment. Lou County was defeated. In the past two days, the attack on the city has been unfavorable, which has a great impact on morale."
"But at least we can still eat in Wu County! After two consecutive days of attacking, the Jin army has shown signs of fatigue. Tomorrow we will increase the offensive and plan to capture Wu County. Zhuge Kan's head will be placed on the incense table in the Chinese army's tent. Pay homage to the heroic souls of our soldiers!" The general was so heroic and full of fighting spirit!
"But I'm afraid - I'm afraid that I'll eat all the food in Wuxian, but I won't be able to spit it out." The general's self-confidence turned into self-confidence, but the scribe in white immediately poured a basin of cold water on him.
"What does Yuan Long mean by this?"
"Brother!" The white-clothed scribe stopped and spoke louder: "Zhuge Kan and others are all generals under Xu Xiao. They are all heroes of the Northern Expedition. They have long-term strategies and long-term plans. They are proficient in the art of war and are good at attacking. , although the defenders of Wu County are small, if they want to capture it, they will definitely lose a lot of troops! Otherwise, it will not change hands several times."
The general frowned and fell into deep thought. The scribe in white gave a final reminder: "Maybe Xu Xiao has secretly mobilized a large army and is preparing to surround us and annihilate us. Otherwise, he will not take the risk lightly and lead only a few thousand people." Go deep into Wu County."
The scribe in white continued: "You must know that he is now a general of the Jin Dynasty. He has a military talisman issued by the imperial court in his hand, and he also serves as the governor of Yangzhou. The Jiankang Imperial Army was slow to arrive, and the county soldiers near Yangzhou are under his command. !”
"That makes sense, that makes sense."
Those who slowly left the tent of Sun En's army were Lu Xun and Xu Daofu who had besieged Wu County for a long time.
South of Kunshan, Lou County.
A large number of young men with different colors and attractive faces were marching out of Lou County. Each of them had a sword or a spear, and their weapons were close to their bodies. They were walking in unison, quite like an army.
"Lord! The brothers have rested. Next, are we going to march into Wu County to rescue the brothers of the Wolf Guard?" Zhang Si hurriedly climbed up the city wall and came to Xu Zongwen to ask for orders.
"Yes, it's time. Looking at the time, Sun En also knows that we have captured Lou County, and now we are waiting for the brothers of the Wolf Guard to break through." Xu Zongwen's eyes shifted away from the soldiers under the city wall. He raised his head and covered it with his hands. Blocking the dazzling sunlight, stroking the mottled city walls, I stood in Lou County and looked to the north.
"What?" Zhang Si was shocked, "Master, aren't we going to rescue Wu County?"
"Do you think Zhuge Kan can defend Wu County under the siege of Sun En and Lu Xun?"
"This, this subordinate doesn't know."
Xu Zongwen naturally understands the principle of saving people and losing land, and saving people and land; saving land and losing people, and losing people and land. Therefore, on the night he captured Lou County, he sent an order to Zhuge Kan, Zheng Lue, Liu Yu and other troops to quickly break out of the encirclement and avoid being completely annihilated by Sun En!
"My lord is confident, so don't ask any more questions. Just follow the orders." Guo Shang chuckled. It was natural for him to participate in the night temple. Therefore, he was familiar with the inside story and his face was not moved.
"No!" Zhang Si said calmly, it turned out that all this was within the plan of the lord and the military advisor!
"After Sun En was hit by this, he would definitely attack Wu County regardless of losses. When Sun En found out that all he got was an empty city, his face would be very wonderful."
"I hope Xu Daofu won't be too smart. Just relying on tens of thousands of untrained peasants to overthrow the Jin Dynasty is tantamount to wishful thinking! If he can think for himself, know how to advance and retreat, and turn against him, I would be willing to serve as emperor Ask for a count for him in front of you."
"My lord is broad-minded, and I will obey you!"
"Since ancient times, there have been many talented people in Jiangdong. I just hope to recruit talents for the imperial court. It is a pity that Xu Daofu's talent has abandoned the bright and turned to darkness. After all, he is a person who can defeat his second brother, so he should not be underestimated!"
Guo Shang also looked in the direction of Wuxian County and said with emotion: "My lord is benevolent and righteous. If he knows what he is doing, it will be a good story."
Soon, Zhang Guizheng organized his team, and the remaining 1,500 riders from the Suzaku Battalion were ready to go under Louxian City.
Xu Zongwen was wearing a battle armor and carrying a long sword. Zhang San gave an order, and the soldiers came out in all directions, and the army marched northward in a mighty manner.
In the battle of Kunshan, the officers and soldiers of the Zhuque Battalion killed 12,000 enemies and captured more than 30,000 people. Countless people were missing. The Zhuque Battalion itself also lost 500 men and horses.
Fortunately, thanks to Xu Zongwen's kind act of distributing food and money to the prisoners, it was completely different from the cruel and tyrannical rule of Sun En Tianshi Dao in the past!
Those young men who died in the civil strife and lost their relatives and hometowns without fathers or mothers heard about the glorious deeds of Xu Zongwen and the Xiaoqi Army in the Northern Expedition in the Central Plains, and one by one they took the initiative to join the Suzaku Camp. They were willing to join the army to serve the country and follow Xu Zongwen!
In desperation, Xu Zongwen could only break up these young men and organize them into the Zhuque Camp. Those with physical strength were distributed with weapons and horses, and the rest formed a supply camp, responsible for escorting only 500 stones of grain, grass and various military supplies to follow the Zhuque Camp north to Wuxian County.
In the distance, several mounted scouts were approaching. They dismounted and drove straight to Xu Zongwen's location.
"Reporting to my lord, Yuan Song, the governor of Wu County, has been ordered to recruit county soldiers and has arrived at the city gate."
Xu Zongwen was overjoyed. He looked to the north. Sure enough, in less than a moment, a group of men and horses quickly appeared in sight. The flags read the words "Jin" and "Yuan". Sure enough, Yuan Song, the prefect of Wu County, had arrived. !
Yuan Song wears a square scarf on his head and does not have a crown. In Xu Zongwen's opinion, he is a bit shabby as a local official. However, Sun En caused trouble for Jiangzuo for several months. This official of Wu County did not die in the hands of Sun's thieves and was still alive. In front of Xu Zongwen, all this can be understood.
"Your Majesty Yuan Song has met the General!" Yuan Song had a short beard under his chin and looked very calm.
Xu Zongwen had already reined in the Green Thunder Horse. He nodded slightly towards Yuan Song in response: "How many troops do you have?"
Yuan Song straightened his waist, not daring to hide anything, and pointed at the large group of troops behind him and replied: "Back to the general, I originally had two thousand county soldiers in my hands, most of them died fighting against Sun's thieves, and there were only one thousand left." I didn't dare to delay after receiving the urgent order from the general, and all the thousand people who had been sent down to the rank of officer were brought to the general."
Yuan Song thought that Xu Zongwen, the general who conquered the north, had at least 10,000 men under his command, not to mention hundreds of thousands of troops. After going to Lou County and asking around, he found out that Xu Zongwen defeated Sun Yi's army with only two thousand elite cavalry. He refused to believe the fifty thousand rebels at first, but now that he saw the Suzaku Camp and the surrendered supply camp, he was relieved of his doubts.
As expected of Xu Zhengbei, he was really very capable and decisive in killing!
Xu Zongwen said in greeting, "Please Mr. Yuan Fu, please lead these thousand people to stay in Lou County to ensure the safety of our army's rear. I will leave the retreat to you, General!"
"I obey the general's military orders!" Yuan Song bowed and bowed. He was born in the Yuan family of Chen County. He was a servant of Qianmen and the disciple of Yuan Zhi, the current minister of Guanglu Temple. He had always been arrogant and arrogant, but Xu Zongwen had broken the rules since he sent troops. Wucheng, Wei Qiantang, Zhan Sunyi, defeated 50,000 rebels in one battle, and won consecutive battles, which really impressed him!
"Drive!" Xu Zongwen patted the Green Thunder Horse gently, without waving the whip. However, the Green Thunder Horse was very understanding of human nature and had followed Xu Zongwen in battles for a long time. When he heard his master's urging, he immediately raised the horse high, like a thunderous force. In a moment, he ran far away, leaving Yuan Song and others behind!
