After understanding Yang Chongqing's intention to eat up the Third Division, Yuan Song's long-standing doubts about why there were only more than 40,000 forbidden troops in the direction of Shizhou were easily solved... ·············
If Yuan Song's prediction is correct, the remaining tens of thousands of Forbidden Army will appear in the direction of Weiguan. Yang Chongqing will assemble the main force of nearly 100,000 Forbidden Army to attack Pingyang in one fell swoop!
After understanding Yang Chongqing's whole idea, Yuan Song was also deeply shocked by Yang Chongqing's courage. Although he had thought that Yang Chongqing, who was good at making surprise attacks, would not follow the rules and enter the trap he set step by step, but he did not I never thought that Yang Chongqing would give up Jinyang so simply!
Although in previous battles, Wang Muzhi also voluntarily abandoned some small counties to lengthen the Fengwu Army's supply line in order to confuse the Fengwu Army.
However, Jinyang is not comparable to those small counties. Once Jinyang, the capital and provincial government of Yunbin, is captured by the Fengwu Army, it will inevitably cause shock to the world and make the Luo'an court, which is already suffering from internal and external troubles, collapse. It is even more inevitable!
Because Jinyang is very important, according to the information from the Coordination Office, Shangguan Changgong asked Yang Chongqing to guard Jinyang without any mistakes!
So Yuan Song had to admit that he really never thought that Yang Chongqing would give up Jinyang's move!
This trick is really awesome!
After Yang Chongqing made his move, Yuan Song was left with two choices...
The first choice is to accept Yang Chongqing's exchange, and now attack Jinyang City immediately, and start a race against time with Yang Chongqing to see whether our side captures Jinyang first, or Yang Chongqing leads the imperial army to capture Pingyang first!
The first one to capture the city can interfere with the opponent's battle, prevent the opponent's siege, and win the war!
The second option is to refuse Yang Chongqing's exchange and lead his army to Pingyang immediately to reinforce the third division!
And this is what Yang Chongqing hopes to see the most. First of all, he can wait for work in Pingyang to face the Fengwu Army and have a physical advantage!
Secondly, although the Fengwu Army's firearms are sharp, they rely heavily on logistical supplies. If the Fengwu Army now heads to Pingyang with its main force, the entire logistical supply line will be stretched for hundreds of miles, and the difficulty of logistical support will increase a lot.
The most important thing is that even if Yuan Song arranges some soldiers and horses to stay around Jinyang City to protect the logistics supply, there are still 30,000 Yun Bing troops in Jinyang City. Although these people have poor combat effectiveness, their numbers are there after all. , it is not very difficult to harass the Fengwu Army's later supply line.
Once there is a problem with the logistics supply line, resulting in the inability to supply various ammunition and supplies, the various firearms of the Fengwu Army will become useless fire sticks.
This is the best time for Yang Chongqing to lead the Forbidden Army and defeat the Fengwu Army in one battle...
And this is exactly what Yang Chongqing wants!
Yang Chongqing wanted a chance for a decisive battle, and Yuan Song naturally did not want to give it to him. After all, the Fengwu Army under his command was one level higher than the Forbidden Army in terms of overall strength, so Yuan Song did not want to take risks. He knew very well that Yang Chongqing had How awesome, as long as you give him a chance, he may create a miraculous comeback!
And if Yang Chongqing is not given this opportunity to attack Jinyang immediately, it means that the more than 20,000 soldiers of the Third Division will be attacked from all sides by 100,000 forbidden troops.
Although he was very confident in the combat effectiveness of the third division, Yuan Song also understood that it would be difficult for the third division to hold on.
The Third Division has tens of thousands of cavalry, and there are many hills in the Pingyang area. These hilly areas restrict the performance of the cavalry. The main purpose of Yang Chongqing's annihilation of the Third Division is actually to annihilate these Fengwu Army cavalry.
For Yang Chongqing, these cavalrymen were the sharp swords of the Fengwu Army, which could give him a fatal blow at any time. With these cavalrymen, Yang Chongqing did not have much confidence in winning this war.
Therefore, even if Yang Chongqing wants to abandon Jinyang, he must annihilate these cavalry and lay the foundation for victory in the next decisive battle!
Although he was aware of Yang Chongqing's purpose, after weighing the pros and cons, Yuan Song reluctantly found that rather than rushing to Pingyang immediately to give Yang Chongqing a favorable decisive battle opportunity, he believed that it was more in line with Fengwu to capture Jinyang immediately. Military interests·····························
Although doing this would put Xun Ke and the Third Division in danger, and he was very sorry for them, Yuan Song firmly believed that Yang Chongqing could not defeat the Third Division!
As the main ace division of the Fengwu Army, the Third Division, which has made great achievements for the Fengwu Army since its establishment, will not be wiped out so easily by Yang Chongqing!

Thinking of this, Yuan Song was also worried, made up his mind and ordered:
"After dawn, the entire army will break out of camp and go to Jinyang City to attack Jinyang. We must capture Jinyang within half a month!"
Hearing Yuan Song's order, Zheng Chuang and Ye Tao looked at each other. Ye Tao hesitated for a moment and then asked tentatively:
"Sir, what about the Pingyang Third Division?"
When Yuan Song heard this, he glanced at Ye Tao and said in a deep voice:
"We must believe in Commander Xun and his colleagues in the Third Division. They will be able to hold on in Pingyang!"
"The sooner we capture Jinyang, the sooner we can go to support them!"
At this point, Yuan Song paused, and after a while of silence, he said quietly:
"If we change positions, I believe Commander Xun will make the same decision. He and his colleagues in the Third Division will understand us!"
"The more Yang Chongqing wants a decisive battle opportunity that is beneficial to him, the less we can give it to them easily. If we capture Jinyang within half a month, we can make Yang Chongqing lose his wife and lose his troops..." ····························"
·································
·································
Three and a half hours later, in a luxurious restaurant in Jinyang City, more than a dozen Yun Bingjun generals were drinking and mingling surrounded by a group of warblers.
"I thought these Fengwu troops were so powerful, and that Yuan Song was not known as the top general of the Fengwu troops. Why is he so miserable now?"
"Although the Fengwu Army is a group of dogs, he is also afraid of something even more powerful. That Marshal Yang was on the grassland and killed the Kipchak barbarians, howling like ghosts and wolves. No matter how powerful the Fengwu Army is, is he as powerful as the Kipchak barbarians?"
"Brothers, let me tell you a secret. Although Yuan Song is known as the number one general of the Fengwu Army, when he was in the Forbidden Army, he was just a corps commander under Marshal Yang. Now that he meets Marshal Yang on the battlefield, what do you want to say? Is he afraid? Hahaha!"
·············
·············
In the past ten days, under the attack of the Fengwu Army, the senior officials of the Yun Bing Army who had been huddled in Jinyang City were trembling with fear, fearing that the Fengwu Army would invade the city one day and punish them for bullying men and women. The crime of indulging in human life.
For this reason, some of them who committed the most heinous crimes knew that once the Fengwu Army entered the city, they would be liquidated and tried. Therefore, in fear of death, they even began to study how to disguise themselves as defeated soldiers and civilians to escape.
However, as Shizhou was captured by the Forbidden Army, Yang Chongqing led the Forbidden Army to appear in Yunbin. The Fengwu Army lifted the siege of Jinyang, and the army retreated to Xiaode County. These people thought that Jinyang was safe, so they became arrogant again. Some people even intensified their efforts to oppress the people.
Just as this group of people were having a revelry among beauties and fine wine in the private room, a series of loud noises suddenly came from outside.
Although their spirits were gradually numbed by wine and sex, as a military general, some people in the private room immediately realized that this was a bombardment.
"Is this an artillery attack? Didn't the Fengwu Army retreat to Xiaode County?"
"Hurry and report to the Governor, the Fengwu Army is calling!"
"Didn't he say that the Fengwu Army had been scared away by Marshal Yang? Why are these damned people here again? What should we do?"
Just when this group of people didn't know what to do, because the Fengwu Army returned to Jinyang City again, another group of Jinyang dignitaries also came to Wang Muzhi's house and clamored to see Wang Muzhi.
"Where is the Governor? I want to see the Governor!"
"Where are Marshal Yang's reinforcements? Didn't you agree to rush to Jinyang to help? Where are they now?"
"Didn't the Governor promise that the Fengwu Army would not come again? I also donated two thousand taels of silver. What is going on, Governor?"
················
················
Faced with the quarrels of these dignitaries, General Hu Wenxiong did not dare to use violence against them. He could only try his best to appease and maintain order and prevent them from rushing into the palace to find Wang Muzhi.
At the same time, in the study room of the Governor's Mansion, Wang Muzhi was lying on the ground with a grimace, and next to him was a handwritten letter written by Yang Chongqing to him.
For Wang Muzhi, this period of time was like going from heaven to earth. First, he lost the battle and lost his troops, and was killed by the Fengwu Army at the gate of Jinyang City. At that time, he had already made up his mind to kill himself, but Yang Chongqing led the imperial army. They appeared in time, but forced the Fengwu Army to retreat from Jinyang.
Seeing Yang Chongqing casually killing thousands of people in a battalion of the Fengwu Army, Wang Muzhi admired him and couldn't help pinning his hopes on Yang Chongqing, hoping that Yang Chongqing could kill everyone in Yunbin and save the country. The imperial court of Luo'an is in heaven!
For this reason, Wang Muzhi also vigorously promoted Yang Chongqing to the soldiers of Yun Bing Army, saying that Yang Chongqing was the reincarnation of the Soldier Immortal and possessed by Sun Wu, and boasted that the soldiers of the Forbidden Army were like heavenly soldiers and generals, just to save the sluggish morale of Yun Bing Army.
Because the Fengwu Army was indeed forced to retreat, the officers and soldiers of the Yun Bing Army also believed Yang Chongqing's words. However, just as the morale of the Yun Bing Army gradually recovered, Yang Chongqing, who Wang Muzhi had placed high hopes on as a life-saving straw, Gave Wang Muzhi a bolt from the blue····························
Wang Muzhi really couldn't understand what Yang Chongqing was thinking. He dared to abandon Jinyang to encircle and annihilate the third division of the Fengwu Army?
This son of a bitch, even if he doesn't know the importance of Jinyang to the court, can't he still understand the military order of the chief minister?
Why would he dare to do this?
How much he looked forward to Yang Chongqing at that time, how much Wang Muzhi hates Yang Chongqing now. He can't wait to eat Yang Chongqing alive, peel his flesh and sleep with his skin!
Although he was in great pain, Wang Muzhi also understood that things could no longer change, and without Wang Muzhi's help, Jinyang was destined to fall into the hands of the Fengwu Army!
Although he already knew the result, Wang Muzhi was determined to fight until the last moment out of loyalty to the chief assistant, in order to repay the kindness of the chief assistant to him!
But now he had to do something, something he had to do. Thinking of this, Wang Muzhi's eyes gradually became firm.
He stood up from the ground, came to the desk, picked up the brush and dipped it in ink, just to write something, but as soon as the brush fell on the paper, Wang Muzhi seemed to have thought of something, and the movements in his hand stopped. .
After a while, Wang Muzhi found a piece of white cloth, cut his finger with a short knife, used his finger as a pen, and his own red blood as ink, and wrote furiously on the white cloth with hatred on his face... ·····················
·································
·································
The imperial capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Luo'an
Looking at the autographed letter written by Yang Chongqing to him in his hand, Shangguan Changgong's expression was very wonderful. First he was stunned, then shocked, and finally filled with anger!
Taking a deep breath, Shangguan Changgongcai barely suppressed the anger in his heart and asked Zhao Hucheng, the messenger in front of him who was delivering the message to Yang Chongqing and Yang Chongqing's nephew:
"Who approved him to do this? Who did he consult with to do this?"
Facing Shangguan Changgong's inquiry, Zhao Hucheng said without hesitation:
"I'm telling you, Lord Shangshu, that my uncle thinks that the general will not accept the orders of the foreign king, and his approach is the most suitable for Yun Bing's war situation!"
As soon as these words came out, Shangguan Changgong laughed angrily and said:
"What a general who refuses to obey the king's orders. Yang Chongqing is really a loyal minister and good general of my great Zhou Dynasty!"
Seeing Shangguan Changgong clenching his fists in front of him with a cold expression, Zhao Hucheng also realized that something was wrong, and his heart was filled with tears, and he immediately knelt on the ground with a pop.
Looking at Zhao Hucheng kneeling on the ground, Shangguan Changgong gradually regained his senses. He waved to Zhao Hucheng, and Zhao Hucheng immediately retreated as if he was receiving amnesty. Looking at Zhao Hucheng's leaving back, Shangguan Changgong turned to his side. The guard ordered in a cold voice:
"Let Chen Jingyu come to see me..."
