Cao Cao made a flower dance on his stem and chuckled: "Previously I flattered Gao Qiu and won the military power of the four states. This time I wanted to communicate with Cai Jing and use my brains on civil servants. Unexpectedly, by chance, I met the five brothers of Han. Climb up to Tongguan from the Western Army line. Haha, I have long been determined to find out the reality of the Jin Kingdom. Wouldn't it be great if I could use the name of the envoy?"
Xu Guanzhong said with a smile: "As the old saying goes, wherever my brother goes, I am willing to go with him."
At the beginning of their friendship, Lao Cao had expressed his desire to go to sea from Dengzhou, and he had a look at the true and false nature of the girl. At that time, Xu Guanzhong came forward and claimed that he knew the language and geography of that place. Now that the old story is brought up again, everyone feels warm in their hearts.
After more than ten days like this, the troops and horses from the eight states arrived one after another. Tong Guan was overjoyed. It was also the Dragon Boat Festival, so he ordered the army to prepare wine and meat, as well as many rice dumplings and realgar wine, and rewarded the three armies. He also opened the arsenal and ordered fine equipment to be trained for three days. , it is time to leave the army.
On the ninth day of the fifth lunar month, which happened to be an auspicious day, General Tong Guan delegated the affairs of the Privy Council to the Deputy Privy Envoy. He ordered the generals to lead the army and horses out of the city, and went to his home to pay homage to the Emperor. He promised: "When I leave, I will capture Wang Qing." , and return to welcome the Emperor Ji."
Painter Zhao was very happy to see his impassioned spirit and ordered him to give him three glasses of fine wine to enhance his beauty.
After coming out of the palace, Pegasus flew to the outside of Xincao Gate. In a short pavilion five miles away, two powerful officials, Yang Jian and Liang Shicheng, were waiting here early and specially held a banquet for the occasion.
During this period, Yang Jian and Liang Shicheng were full of smiles. They held Tong Guan and said many kind words. Tong Guan also treated him politely. Everyone had a good conversation. When they were saying goodbye, Liang Shicheng pulled someone out and said: "This general is Wang Wenbin, the gun and stick instructor of the Forbidden Army." , has outstanding martial arts skills and has always had the ambition to serve the country. What does the Prime Minister think of sending him along this time to help the army?
At this time, due to Gao Qiu's death, Liang Shicheng took over the post of Taiwei. It was the moment when he was proud. Tong Guan did not want to offend him and immediately agreed.
All the treacherous ministers toasted together and congratulated: "Tong Shuai is going smoothly. Outside the capital, we are looking forward to a triumphant return." They all mounted their horses separately.
Tong Guan joined the army in this compartment, flexed his authority, mobilized his troops and generals, and marched in a formation of five plum blossoms.
He first named Duan Pengju, the military commander of Suizhou, as the vanguard, Chen Zhu, the governor of Zhengzhou, as the deputy vanguard, Wu Bingyi, the governor of Chenzhou, as the co-pioneer, Li Ming, the governor of Xuzhou, as the deputy co-president, and then Han Tianlin, the governor of Tangzhou, and Han Tianlin, the governor of Dengzhou. The two supervisors, Wang Yi, were the left sentinels, and the two supervisors, Ma Wanli, the governor of Yaozhou, and Zhou Xin, the governor of Songzhou, were the right sentries.
As for the middle, naturally there are 20,000 soldiers led by Marshal Tong, all of whom are selected elite soldiers from the Forbidden Army.
Ten thousand of them were led by his trusted general, the infantry capital Yuhou Wangzhen, and Wang Wenbin recommended by Liang Shicheng as his deputy; the other ten thousand were led by Liu Yanqing, the general manager of Yanyan Road, who had Han Shizhong, Cao Cao, and Cai Jing under his command. Six generals including Xu Guanzhong were recommended.
When the mission was decided, Tong Guan flicked his whip and ordered the army to set off.
Not to mention how Tong Guan marched, but since the chaos in Tokyo on April 18, the reputation of "King of Chu Wang Qing" has suddenly increased - robbing the imperial concubine, assassinating the prime minister's son, colluding with Shuibo Liangshan, and beheading the prince. Wei Gaoqiu, after this operation, all Fang Latian Hu Chao Tian Wang stood aside, and the word Wang Qing resounded through the green forest.
When the news reached Fangzhou, Wang Qing was both happy and worried. What he was happy about was that many heroes came to join him one after another, hoping to serve as ministers of the dragon and assist the King of Chu in his earth-shattering undertaking. Wang Qing's men originally had only one or twenty capable leaders, but now they had forty or fifty ruthless men who were accustomed to fighting. For a while, Wang Qing began to think that he had the qualifications to be a great emperor.
Worryingly, I didn't eat the mutton, which made me a mess. What about Emperor Kangfu? I have never even met her, so how can I say that she was the one who robbed her?
Wang Qing was from the Bianliang Pai Army, but he was not an ignorant bandit. How could he not know that the world was in such an uproar that the imperial court would send a large army to conquer it? How could it be different from the previous commanders and regimental training envoys? A world of difference.
There are a lot of troubles outside, and there are also a lot of troubles in the house - Duan Sanniang is such a domineering woman. She was shocked to hear that Wang Qing had hid her secrets and robbed the Emperor Ji to have sex with her, and she couldn't help but be furious.
Although she was a wicked country woman, she always watched the drama, thinking that all the emperors and concubines were fairies descended from the earth, known as golden branches and jade leaves. Wang Qing was also a seductress, so he got such a good thing. Isn't that a vicious dog eating fat lamb? How can you look at my Sanniang’s body again? If the Emperor Ji gave birth to a boy and two girls, it would be extremely precious, but wouldn’t my future children have to be bullied by him?
The more she thought about it alone, the angrier she became. She could not help but have evil thoughts and came to look for Wang Qing with murderous intent. At this time, Wang Qing was drinking alone and worrying. When he saw Duan Sanniang's demeanor, he put on a smile and said, "Sanniang, who did you mess with?" Offended you? Tell me, I need you to vent your anger."
Seeing his smile, Duan Sanniang became even more angry. She slapped him in the face and said, "Your own father is going to take it out on you! You are a prodigal son of a prodigal dog. Now that you have a beautiful emperor, you are here to tease your mother with a smile." ?”
The so-called beating is only about striking first. Although Wang Qing's martial arts skills were higher than hers, he was caught off guard. Duan Sanniang's hand was heavy and she suddenly hit her head on the table. The golden pot and silver bottle overturned, and she was about to get angry. Duan Sanniang's big feet like a small boat had already flown over and kicked her in the chest, causing her chair to overturn.
Wang Qing was ashamed and angry, and cursed: "You shameless shrew, you dare to beat your husband. If I don't kill you today, I won't have the shame to be called the King of Chu."
Duan Sanniang dug into her skirt and took out a short-handled mace with steel nails shining coldly on it. She pointed at Wang Qing and cursed: "You heartless dog, I don't care about the lives of my whole family. I will do it for you." You rebelled against the imperial court and fought hard, but now that you have become the king, you are going to turn your back on me and deny me. No matter what, I will fight you for my life today. I will kill you and find a place to die myself. I will be buried in a grave, but There is no room for that Bird Emperor Princess."
After saying that, he started beating her with his mace. When Wang Qing saw her deadly attack, he was so horrified that he rolled over and crawled around. He shouted: "Escort me, protect me!" A python walked like a snake and ran along the ground.
Duan Sanniang is chasing after her. Among the young men and maids, who dares to stop her? After being chased by Duan Sanniang for half an hour, she took the opportunity to brutally kill Wang Qingxinna's two beauties. It wasn't until Mr. Jin Jian Li Zhu heard the news that he came over and stopped the farce.
Wang Qing came to his senses and saw that the skulls of his two beloved beauties were cracked and died. He was furious. He took off a steel knife from the wall and wanted to fight with Duan Sanniang.
At this time, Shi Er, Duan Wu, Fang Han, Qiu Xiang, and Shi Jun all rushed over. Seeing that Wang Qing was about to kill Sanniang, they all stepped forward and hugged her tightly: "Your Majesty, how can you forget that Sanniang is so determined?" As you wish?"
These were all elders who had joined the army with Wang Qing. They each had high-ranking positions and were all relatives of the Duan family. Wang Qing did not dare to go too far for a while and threw the knife angrily: "I didn't want to kill her, but she wanted to kill me." , and asked me what Emperor Ji I want, tell me one by one, who did I send to rob Emperor Ji?"
Li Zhu said: "Your Majesty, please interrupt me, but this is your fault. Who knows who kidnapped that imperial concubine and framed it for the King of Chu? Now there is a big fuss, and the imperial army is about to attack. , when we are all in the same boat, how can we still make the king angry?"
He turned around and advised Wang Qing: "Your Majesty, although the queen is making trouble for you, she loves you too much. You are a real man, why do you care about your wife? Just make an oath, and the queen will put aside her worries and she will naturally consider you."
Wang Qing had no choice but to raise his hands and swear: "The sky is above and the earth is below. If I, Wang Qing, meet the imperial concubine of the Zhao family, I will kill her one by one and never let my wife be in trouble."
After Duan Er heard this, he showed his yellow teeth and smiled and said: "Your Majesty, it would be a pity to kill her. If you really capture Di Ji, just give me Duan Er."
Duan Sanniang sneered and said: "You haven't washed the mud on your legs and feet, so you are thinking about sleeping with Emperor Ji? The king has been led bad by people like you." He punched Duan Er in the face and fell over, turned around and hugged him. Wang Qing lived in the house and said in a coquettish voice: "Since you have sworn this oath, it shows that you have a good heart, but you are rude to me. We will go back to the room right now, and I will make amends for you."
Wang Qing felt a pain in his waist, and his face suddenly turned pale. He was even more frightened than when she was chasing her just now. He quickly said: "There is no need to apologize. The big thing at hand is to deal with the Song army's conquest. Now that everyone is here, Let’s discuss how to deal with it.”
As he spoke, he calmly escaped from Duan Sanniang's arms and called everyone to sit down and chat.
Duan Sanniang was very horny. Seeing Wang Qing's displeasure, she secretly got angry and said angrily: "What's there to talk about? How many of the birds have been killed by the Song army in the past two years? The soldiers are coming to stop them, and now more and more heroes are coming to surrender." , are you too timid?"
Li Zhu advised: "Mother, in the past, we used to have soldiers and horses from nearby prefectures. If this situation gets serious, a large army will definitely come. We heard that Gao Qiu was dead, so the one who leads the army is probably Tong Guan."
Duan Sanniang said coldly: "There is nothing under this guy's crotch, are you afraid of waiting?"
Li Zhu smiled bitterly and said: "Although he is a eunuch, he is not bad at leading troops. The Xixia people are so ruthless, and he has also fought several good battles. We cannot ignore him."
Wang Qing nodded repeatedly: "That fellow has a personal grudge against me. If he comes to suppress me, he will do his best. Military advisor, do you have any good plans to deal with it?"
Li Zhu stroked his beard and said: "I have been thinking about it for a long time at home. There is a saying that if you defend for a long time, you will lose. As a humble minister, I simply attacked him, using offense as defense, defense as offense, using the empty and the real. wonderful."
Duan Er said anxiously: "You like to pretend to be a ghost, and no one understands you even after you say it."
Wang Qing said: "Brother-in-law, don't be impatient. The military advisor has his own strategies."
Li Zhu nodded with satisfaction and said: "To put it simply, we can't wait for him to attack me. We attacked Xiangyang and Fancheng before he arrived. The city walls here are very high and thick, and there is Xiangshui as our support. It's just right. Confront the imperial army!"
Duan Wudao: "If the stalemate lasts for a long time, there will be many soldiers in the imperial court. How can I defeat them here?"
Li Zhu smiled and said: "General, don't be impatient. The strategy of stalemate is just one of them. I will use the geographical advantage to block his army, and then send a partial army from Nanfeng to Xijing. Once at Xijing, we can follow the river. Next, I will plunder the counties in Tokyo and overwhelm Bianliang. With the courage of the Zhao official family, I will definitely send the army back for reinforcements. Then I will take the opportunity to cover up the killing, so that the imperial court will not dare to look at our great Chu in the future!"
Wang Qing thought about this strategy in his mind and felt that it was feasible. He jumped up and said with great joy: "I have a military advisor who is better than Liu Bei's Kong Ming or Liu Bang's Zifang!"
Immediately he ordered: "Brother-in-law, don't you want the emperor's concubine? I will appoint you as Marshal of Peking University, and ask Zuo Mou to join the army. With your 80,000 troops, we can capture Xiangfan for me."
Duan Er stood up with joy, clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, you really know and value heroes. When Duan Er goes, the world must know that a man with eggs must be inferior to a castrated dog without eggs. Those with eggs are even more luxurious!"
When Duan Wuyi heard this, he immediately became anxious and jumped up and said, "Your Majesty, most people are brother-in-law. Do I, Duan Wu, have no eggs?"
Wang Qing said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, don't be anxious. I know that you have a big egg, so I appointed you as the general marshal of Pingbei. With Xi Sheng as a member of the army, you will lead 50,000 troops and station them in Nanfeng. When the imperial troops arrive, you will go straight to the army." Fight to Xijing."
Duan Wu laughed loudly: "Your Majesty, my brother and I will fight for you in the north and south, so you just need to sit back and settle down, and have a son with your empress as soon as possible."
He was dispatching troops here, but before he sent out troops, suddenly news came that Liu Min, a big thief in the Xiangjiang River, known as "Zhibo" in the world, gathered a group of strong men from the green forest, attacked the two cities of Xiangfan in a sneak attack, and surrendered to the king. Celebrate.
Li Zhu laughed loudly and said: "I wanted to take it, but God has given it to me in advance. Your Majesty, this is a sign of great auspiciousness. It shows that the world has returned to its heart, and my king's great cause will be accomplished!"
Wang Qing was also so happy that he smiled and praised repeatedly: "This guy deserves to be called 'Liu Zhibo'. He is really intelligent and extraordinary. You can see that this king is a real dragon. Brother-in-law, you must not neglect it when you go to Xiangfan." Wise man.”
Duan Er smiled and said: "I can take care of myself. Since ancient times, those who have achieved great things must respect these capable people. Your Majesty, just don't worry."
At that time, he led 80,000 troops and rushed to Xiangfan in chaos. He met with Liu Min and held a celebration banquet. He also took out the edict of Wang Qing's reward and named him General Hussar and Marquis Zhiyong. Together with his colleagues Lu Cheng and Zheng Jie, Kou Meng, Gu Cen, Han Fan, Ban Ze and Zhang Shou were all awarded the title of general.
Liu Min was overjoyed when he received the reward, and offered his advice: "Duan Shuai, your Majesty wants to stalemate the Song army here. This is a good plan. I will descend to the city as soon as possible. It didn't take any tricks, and I took advantage of the weather. With the help of the young general, In view of this, why not go and rob Wanzhou before the Song soldiers arrive, and dampen his spirit there first? "Wouldn't it be better?"
Duan Er didn't have much brains. He listened to what he said in an orderly manner and nodded repeatedly: "As expected of Uncle Zhi, this brilliant idea is similar to that of my military advisor Li Zhu. It is exactly the principle of using offense as defense and defense as offense. In this case , I will allocate you 20,000 troops, including your own troops, totaling 30,000, to capture Wanzhou for me. If the Song army is too powerful to be defeated, you can retreat, and I will make the decision for everyone."
Liu Min received the general's order and led 30,000 people out of the city the next day to kill Wanzhou City. When the prefect of the city heard that the bandits were coming, he hung up his official seal and disappeared. The soldiers and horse envoys in the state closed the city gate and defended it. Liu Min did not attack. He retreated thirty miles and sent 10,000 troops pretending to be Song soldiers. They went around to the north gate and shouted: "General Tong Guan leads the army to conquer Wang Qing, hurry up." Quickly open the city gates and let the army in."
When the soldier and horse envoy heard this, he opened the door happily. The thief general Zhang Shouda ran in first, killed the soldier and horse envoy with a knife in his hand, and robbed Wancheng.
Liu Min occupied the city for about five or seven days. Tong Guan led an army of 100,000 people and marched westward. He heard that Xiangyang and Wancheng were lost one after another along the way. He couldn't help but became furious: "The traitor heard that Tong Guan was coming. He should have ducked and retreated. How dare you attack the city and touch my tiger's beard when you are about to die? Which one is really intolerable?"
Even if he ordered all the troops to move quickly, he vowed to take back Wancheng in one fell swoop and show his power.
There are different teachings: Hundreds of thousands of heroes are coming to the west, and Mr. Jin Jian is showing off his talents. Xiangshui and Wancheng are all old places, and the floating clouds and white sun reflect the new platform.
First of all, I'm sorry that it's even late. I'm very, very sorry.
I have had bad luck these past two days. Yesterday I reported my income for the previous month. One day I was too busy and only posted a single update, less than 4,000 words. I lost my full attendance and writer support bonuses in vain.
It’s just an external possession. I accidentally dropped my phone when changing hands. The damage was so severe that I couldn’t import the data to the new phone, so I had to download it bit by bit. I even forgot many of the passwords, which made it a mess.
We have a family gathering today and can't refuse it.
well. The lack of archived manuscripts cannot withstand the slightest disturbance, which affects the reading experience of brothers, and I feel very guilty.
Finally, the two chapters are combined into one. Please download the order data for both. I hope you can understand!
