Palace capital, Ryugyong.
In the camp in the east of the city, in Wang Kangxin's tent, Wang Kangxin and Shen Jianzhong sat opposite each other. Neither of them spoke. Both of their faces were extremely serious, and the atmosphere fell into a deathly silence for a while... ···········
Time passed by second by second, and Wang Kangxin finally couldn't help but look at Shen Jianzhong and said:
"Sato Kaga, aren't you willing to help me this time?"
Under Wang Kangxin's gaze, Shen Jianzhong shook his head and said bitterly:
"It's not that he doesn't want to help, it's that things are a little out of his control now!"
"Kobayakawa Takahide has taken refuge in Ye Mingsheng. With Ye Mingsheng's help, she has returned to the palace. Sato Kaga initially thought that the matter was under control and wanted to take a long-term approach to catch big fish. He wanted to put Kobayakawa Takahide in the Black Dragon Club. The remaining forces were wiped out in one fell swoop, so we didn’t deal with it immediately.”
"But no one expected that he would get away with the matter. When he wanted to close the net, it turned out that Kobayakawa Takahide had united many people. Even Sato Kaga himself was almost killed by Kobayakawa Takahide... ··········”
Hearing what Shen Jianzhong said, Wang Kangxin's expression became even more gloomy and he said in a deep voice:
"Do you know who is colluding with Kobayakawa Takahide?"
After saying these words, Shen Jianzhong looked at the fierce look in Wang Kangxin's eyes. Shen Jianzhong still didn't know what he wanted to do, so he said helplessly:
"Kobayakawa Takahide didn't know where she got a list, which records the list of the Black Dragon Society who planted secrets in the officialdom of the palace, so now many people have the blame in her hands, and now the Fengwu Army is gaining momentum. Fierce, so in order not to be liquidated by the Fengwu Army, they all turned to her side!"
"We know some of these people, but there are still some we don't know. I don't suggest you take action now. There is already an undercurrent in your new army in Gongdu. If you go on a killing spree now, you will most likely be killed directly. Detonate the powder keg!”
"Yuan Song's first division is already very close to Ruishan County and not far from Liujing. If you can't get rid of them quickly, once Yuan Song gets the news and leads his troops to quickly attack Liujing City, everything will be over. It’s completely over!”
Hearing Shen Jianzhong's analysis, Wang Kangxin nodded slightly, knowing that his idea was a bit ill-considered. Now he is really in a dilemma. The people in Gongdu are alienated from him. It is God's blessing that it has not exploded yet. If Fengwu really lets Fengwu When the army reaches the gate of Liujing City, those who want to dedicate the city will definitely catch a lot of them...
It is impossible to retreat to the south and give up Liu Jing to Ye Mingsheng. His new army in Gongdu has many soldiers, people from the north and central part of Gongdu. How many people can follow him when he runs to the south? ?
Now he has fallen into the trap carefully laid by Ye Mingsheng, and is in a desperate situation. If he wants to survive, he can only fight his way out of the mountain of corpses and sea of blood to survive!
Thinking of this, Wang Kangxin couldn't help but have a ruthless look in his eyes, and he said decisively to Shen Jianzhong:
"Since it's impossible to defend or retreat, then I'll just fight Ye Mingsheng!"
"I really don't believe it. I have 50,000 troops, but I can't even defeat one of Ye Mingsheng's divisions!"
Hearing this, Shen Jianzhong said with some worry:
"Yuan Song's first division is a bait carefully arranged by Ye Mingsheng. Now Guo Zhiping and his 30,000 people seem to be going to capture Wanfeng Mansion, but as long as we send troops to Ruishan County, we want to devour Yuan Song The first division, they will definitely abandon Wanfeng Mansion and rush to aid Yuan Song, gathering the main force to kill us..."
Wang Kangxin sighed and said:
"Why don't I know that Yuan Song is a bait? But now there is no other way. If Yuan Song's first division appears under Liujing City, I will be finished!"
"But as long as I annihilate Yuan Song's first division before Guo Zhiping and the others arrive, I can boost their morale and appease those damn Gongdu people, letting them know how powerful I am and no longer surrender to Ye Mingsheng!"
Hearing what Wang Kangxin said, Shen Jianzhong thought for a moment and nodded. This was the only last resort left for the present.
The reason why the people in Gongdu want to join Ye Mingsheng is largely because the Fengwu Army is now too powerful. The Gongdu Army has been completely defeated. If Wang Kangxin can achieve a big victory at this time, the situation may be greatly improved. A turning point!
Ye Mingsheng was too trusting this time. In order to lure Wang Kangxin to the bait, he let Yuan Song go deep alone. As long as Yuan Song's first division was eaten before their reinforcements arrived, the current situation might be turned upside down. Changes can not only change the current desperate situation, but also make Ye Mingsheng pay the price for his arrogance and arrogance...
Realizing this, Shen Jianzhong perked up, and then quickly searched the map. After a cup of tea, his eyes focused on a place named Xiao Zhengling on the map.
Pointing to the coordinates of Xiaozheng Ridge on the map, Shen Jianzhong said to Wang Kangxin very seriously:
"If you want to take the shortest road from Wanfeng Mansion to Ruishan County, you must take Xiaozheng Ridge! If you don't take Xiaozheng Ridge, it will take at least three more days to walk. Therefore, if Guo Zhiping wants to quickly support Yuan Song, his first Master, he will definitely go to Xiaozheng Ridge!"
"At the speed of the Fengwu Army, it will take about five days from Wanfeng Mansion to Ruishan County. If Mr. Wang, you can choose a good general, lead an elite army, and deploy Xiaozheng Ridge in advance to stop Guo Zhiping's troops, then Got more time!"
Before Shen Jianzhong finished speaking, Wang Kangxin's eyes were already focused on Xiaozheng Ridge. After hearing Shen Jianzhong's words, Wang Kangxin was already moved. He knew very well that Yuan Song's first division was Ye Ming Sheng's Fengwu Army is the ace, and his new army in Gongdu is definitely no match for one on one, but Yuan Song can only have 20,000 people at most, while he has 50,000 people...
You can't beat 20,000 against 20,000, but Wang Kangxin is quite confident about 50,000 against 20,000, so the rest is a matter of time!
It takes five days from Wanfeng Mansion to Ruishan County, so if Guo Zhiping is detained in Xiaozhengling for five days, then he will have ten days to devour Yuan Song!
Ten days is neither long nor short. If things go well, it will be enough for him to make a good comeback. Using the head of Ye Mingsheng's first general to vent his anger can be regarded as the plot against Ye Mingsheng back then. His interest was collected!
With a ruthless look in his eyes, Wang Kangxin made his final determination, nodded heavily and said:
"Then let's do it! Liu Jing will be left to you, Master Shen!"
Although the two of them are usually very difficult to deal with, when facing Ye Mingsheng's threat, Shen Jianzhong knew very well that he and Wang Kangxin were brothers in the trenches. If Wang Kangxin fell into cold weather, he would not survive long, so facing Wang Kangxin's Shen Jianzhong also made a very serious promise:
"Commander Wang, you can go with peace of mind! As long as I, Shen Jianzhong, don't die, Liu Jing and he will not be able to cause chaos!"
·························
·························
Twenty miles southwest of Ruishan County, the palace capital, a Fengwu army of about 3,000 people is heading towards Ruishan County!
"Sir, I think Cheng Dabiao's injury is very serious this time. I heard that the superiors are asking him to return to Fengzhou and transfer him to the reserve force..."
Soldier Chen Gongquan came to Ye Dong's side and said in a low voice;
Ye Dong paid no attention to the gossip of his own soldier. He scanned the woods on both sides of the road. Although he had sent scouts to inspect this place, Ye Dong was still a little worried. After all, this was a good place to lay an ambush. .
At this time, due to the relapse of the orthodox leader Cheng Dabiao's old injury and unable to serve as director, Ye Dong, as the deputy commander, temporarily assumed the position of commander and assumed the task of being the vanguard of Yuan Song's first division.
Seeing that Ye Dong was silent, Chen Gongquan continued:
"It's a great joy that Cheng Dabiao is injured. Originally, he wouldn't be able to take the position of commander. If not for the popularity of the governor, with your contribution, it would be more than enough for him to be a commander!"
"The last time we discussed meritorious service, the Governor suppressed you for a while. I think the Governor will not be so petty this time..."
"Snapped!"
Before Chen Gongquan could finish his words, Ye Dong whipped him hard in the face with a horsewhip. The force was so strong that Chen Gongquan almost fell off his horse!
"The Lord Overseer treats me with great kindness. Without the cultivation of the Lord Overseer, my Ye Dong's bones might have been buried in that mass grave. Let alone let me be a deputy commander, even if I, Ye Dong, were asked to be a leading soldier, I would still do the same. The Lord Governor has dedicated himself to death!"
"You bitch, you still dare to arrange for the Governor in front of me. You really don't know how to live or die. I will pull out your tongue next time! I will kill you, this bitch!"
Ye Dong held up his riding whip and cursed fiercely at Chen Gongquan:
Although the pain on his face was unbearable, Chen Gongquan, who was scolded so badly, did not dare to say anything and could only nod his head and said:
"I know I was wrong, I will never dare to do it again. Thank you, sir, for sparing my life!"
Because he was the vanguard of the army and had a heavy burden on him, Ye Dong did not continue to waste time and energy on Chen Gong, and turned his attention back to the trees on both sides of the road... ···········
As time passed, Ye Dong and his troops were getting closer and closer to Ruishan County, and they could even vaguely see the city wall of Ruishan County. Looking at this familiar scene, Ye Dong couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart. !
The last time he came to Ruishan County, he was just an ordinary soldier of Ye Mingsheng. All he thought about was following Ye Mingsheng to be effective, obeying the old lady's orders to protect the young master's safety, and trying to get a good job in the army when the time comes. For an official and a half-job, it would be best to be like Chen Yannian, a majestic sentry commander in charge of hundreds of people, Guangzong Yaozu.
Then when you get some money and wait to return to your hometown in Liaoyang, build three large tile-roofed houses and marry a beautiful new wife. If possible, like Wang Laocai in the village, marry a concubine, and live a happy life with one wife and one concubine. Boundless, if he finally gives birth to a few fat boys to carry on the family line, and has a wife and children on the hot bed, his life will be considered complete.
At that time, he never imagined that a few years later, he would not only realize all his original wishes, but also go one step further to become the commander of thousands of people!
What he didn't expect the most was that the young master who was seeking connections in various camps would suddenly become the overlord of the Liaoyang Governor...
Although his status has increased many times compared to before, Ye Dong still has not forgotten his roots. He knows very well who brought him everything he has now!
Just when Ye Dong was filled with emotion, a rush of footsteps came from beside him, bringing him back to reality.
"What happened?"
Seeing the scouts sent out hurriedly riding towards him, Ye Dong immediately realized that something had happened and asked immediately;
Before the scout could catch his breath, he opened his mouth and said:
"I'm telling you, sir, we just met a few Palace City scouts at the hill in front of us. They are very different from the Palace City soldiers and horses we met before. They have very strong combat capabilities. We lost two brothers and spent a lot of time. It takes a lot of effort to kill them!"
Ye Dong heard this and asked with concern:
"Caught the tongue?"
The scout introduced:
"Originally, we caught one, but this person died from his injuries..."
Listening to the scout's words, Ye Dong couldn't help but frown slightly and looked at the scout in front of him. Scouts are responsible for the most dangerous tasks of an army and often face life and death tests. In many cases, not many people die in wars, but scouts But a new batch has been changed, so in this environment where there is no tomorrow but today, the scouts are very united and believe in retaliation, eye for eye!
This time two brothers died, and they wouldn't let each other live even if they wanted to vent their anger!
Feeling Ye Dong's eyes, the scout quickly continued:
"Although he is dead, before he died, he confessed that he was from the Gongdu New Army. The Gongdu New Army sent an advance team of 5,000 people and was heading towards Ruishan County. They will arrive soon. !”
As soon as these words came out, Ye Dong's expression suddenly became serious. Although the Fengwu Army's battle plan was absolutely confidential, for middle-level generals like them, they could still get a glimpse of it and know something about it!
So Ye Dong knew that the combat goal of their first division was to lure the new army of Gongdu out of the strong city. And if the intelligence of the scouts in front of him was correct, their first division's combat goal might have been achieved!
Glancing at the scout with a warning look, Ye Dong said in a deep voice:
"I don't care what method you use, it's best to find a few survivors for me. I want to personally examine it..."
