At this time, in the chaotic battle outside Chishan Mansion, although the Zhennan Army under Xu Zhaojie was at a disadvantage in terms of strength, Xu Zhaojie's personal charge on the front line may have played a role. The officers and soldiers of the Zhennan Army also became more and more courageous as they fought, and they gradually became more powerful. Having the upper hand on the battlefield... Lu Yun, who was protected by layers of guards at this time, saw this and was anxious. In his heart, although he also wanted to imitate Xu Zhaojie and personally lead the guards to kill, but after hearing the wails and splattering blood from the battlefield, Lu Yun finally did not make up his mind and could only shout loudly: "Where is the military law team?" ? Who dares to quit the military and practice law!"
"Everyone in the army is not allowed to give it back to me. I can't stand it! An enemy soldier has only five taels of silver, and whoever kills Xu Zhaojie will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver and an official promotion to the third level!" Lu Yun's military skills and tricks of promotion and wealth were temporarily stable. However, under the fierce fighting of the Zhennan Army, the balance on the battlefield has been completely unbalanced, and victory is tilting to the side of the Zhennan Army!
Although the battle situation was out of balance, Lu Yun still could not accept defeat. Just when he was about to lead the guards in person to make the final push, the generals around him also stopped him and advised him to withdraw his troops. Seeing that the road was far away, although he was resentful , but we can only order the troops to retreat!
Seeing the enemy troops begin to retreat, Xu Zhaojie, who was already a little exhausted, became very excited and subconsciously wanted to lead his army to pursue the victory... ········However, seeing that the enemy army was not retreating in a very orderly manner, and the soldiers on our side were already exhausted, Xu Zhaojie could only lead his troops to pursue for about a mile before stopping the pursuit.
Xu Zhaojie, who counted the results of the battle at dawn, was filled with mixed feelings. What was good was that in this battle, he killed nearly 10,000 enemy troops, captured more than 2,000 enemy troops, and seized countless ordnance and supplies including food. Yun Suo's casualties were very heavy, and the Jiangnan Army should no longer be able to launch a large-scale attack in a short time.
What worries Xu Zhaojie is that although his Zhennan Army came back to win this battle, it also suffered thousands of casualties. This made the Zhennan Army, which was already at a disadvantage in terms of military strength, even worse!
Just when Xu Zhaojie was a little confused and didn't know what to do, he saw the guards around him coming to report: "Sir, Fang She, the commander of Qianhu Guards, has come to see you!" Xu Zhaojie was surprised when he heard the news, and Fang She You shouldn't have stayed in Shouchun at this time, so why did you cross the Nanjiang River and come to Chishan Mansion?
Although he was a little surprised, Xu Zhaojie still nodded. After getting his permission, the guard immediately brought Fang She to Xu Zhaojie.
"Fang Snake, a low-ranking official, my lord!" Seeing Xu Zhaojie, Fang Snake saluted directly without hesitation.
Looking at Fang She, who still looked respectful, Xu Zhaojie nodded and motioned for Fang She to get up, then he pondered for a moment and asked Fang She, "Fang She, you are here this time, but what happened to Shouchun?" Facing Xu Zhaojie When asked, Fang She said in a deep voice: "Everything is well in Shouchun. General Xu Hu is working hard to guard Shouchun for you... "..." After hearing this answer, Xu Zhaojie felt relieved. The Zhennan Army was now in a dilemma in Jiangnan. If there was another problem in his hometown of Shouchun, it would really be over.
After adjusting his mood, Xu Zhaojie asked with some confusion: "In that case, Fang She, why are you here at this time?" Fang She said in a deep voice: "Master Qi, seven people in Hanjiang City, including Master Sun Chenggong, Cheng Pingzhi, An official of the Jingchu Army was assassinated, and the murderer claimed to be our Thousand Tiger Guards. I wonder, sir, have you ever heard of this matter?" Hearing this, Xu Zhaojie frowned slightly. At this stage, he was focusing on conquering Jiangnan. How could he still have the energy to take care of Jing Chu's affairs? In addition, he also heard the probing meaning in Fang She's mouth at this moment. Knowing that Fang She suspected that this matter was done under his orders, he immediately shook his head and said, "I don't know about this matter." Love!" Hearing Xu Zhaojie's straightforward answer, Fang She also put down her thoughts. Although Xu Zhaojie appointed him as the commander of the Thousand Tiger Guards, Fang She knew that Xu Zhaojie did not trust him 100%. Some of the Thousand Tiger Guards The person also reported directly to Xu Zhaojie secretly.
So before hearing Xu Zhaojie's answer, Fang She also suspected that Xu Zhaojie had bypassed him and secretly arranged for the people in Qianhu Guard to do this... ············But since this matter was not done by Xu Zhaojie, then in Fang She's view, there was only one possibility left. He immediately said to Xu Zhaojie solemnly: "Sir, I suspect that the Fengwu Army is preparing to attack Sun Chenggong!" As soon as these words came out, Xu Zhaojie immediately became serious and asked, "Fang She, what news did you get?" Fang She shook his head and said, "The Coordination Office has always been very professional in its work. Secret, it is difficult for us to get exact information, but through the cross-collection of some clues, I think the Fengwu Army is very likely to take action against Sun Chenggong. This assassination of Jingchu Army officials is also very likely to be the Coordination Office disguised as ours. People did it!”
"Although I don't know why the Coordination Office did this, I feel that the Fengwu Army's plan has reached a critical point, and they are likely to take action in the near future!" After hearing Fang She's subjective words, Xu Zhaojie His brows undoubtedly furrowed deeper, and after a moment he asked again: "What's going on with the Fengwu Army now?" Fang Snake hesitated and said, "The Fengwu Army has already captured Luo'an, Shangguan Changgong was captured by Fengwu when he fled south. The Wu army ambushed, and the Fengwu army was gradually conquering various prefectures and counties in Guanzhong. In addition, the Fengwu army now released news that Shangguan Changgong had kidnapped the emperor when he fled south, and when the Fengwu army rescued the emperor, Shangguan Changgong killed him. The Emperor..." As soon as these words came out, a sneer appeared on Xu Zhaojie's face. He would not believe such nonsense. Obviously, the Fengwu Army is in a good situation now. Ye Mingsheng, the dog's tail, has finally been exposed. He may become emperor in Luo'an next!
Although he envied Ye Mingsheng in his heart, at this moment in front of Fang She, Xu Zhaojie couldn't help but cursed: "Ye Mingsheng, this rebellious minister and traitor, should really be cut into pieces and quartered by five horses. He killed His Majesty Cholera Chao Gang. I shouldn't have done it back then." If you are soft-hearted, you should kill this bastard in the palace!" Hearing what Xu Zhaojie said, Fang She also echoed a few sentences. Xu Zhaojie pondered for a while and then said: "Can you think of a way to remind Sun Chenggong?" Fang She heard this Yan thought for a moment and then nodded and said: "Of course this is possible, but it's not clear whether Sun Chenggong will listen to it, because Cheng Pingzhi hates us now!"
"In addition, since the Fengwu Army dares to prepare to attack Sun Chenggong, there should be an internal agent from the Fengwu Army in the Jingchu Army. And with the current momentum of the Fengwu Army, there is likely to be more than one internal agent, so the situation may be a bit difficult!" Xu Zhaojie heard this! Yan patted Fang She on the shoulder and said, "It all depends on the human effort. I believe you can do it!" After hearing what Xu Zhaojie said, Fang She naturally had nothing else to say. He took the order and said, "I will do my best in this humble position. Complete the task assigned by you, sir..." After receiving Fang She's decisive answer, a smile appeared on Xu Zhaojie's face, and then again Said: "How was the situation on the way to Chishan Mansion this time?" Faced with Xu Zhaojie's question, Fang She organized a speech and said: "The situation on the way was not bad. Although it was investigated by the Jiangnan Navy, because I I made some connections and got an approval note from the Chief Secretary of Jiangnan, so I basically didn't encounter any trouble along the way!" A gleam flashed in Xu Zhaojie's eyes after listening to Fang She's answer, even though they were attacking again in Chishan Mansion. The enemy's attack was repelled and Chishan Mansion, the bridgehead for the attack on Jiangnan, was saved.
However, as the casualties of the Zhennan Army increased, the enemy army was not defeated as quickly as expected, and the retreat was cut off by the Jiangnan Navy. Under the influence of these various factors, Xu Zhaojie also became pessimistic about the prospects of attacking Jiangnan. .
This also led Xu Zhaojie to have the idea of withdrawing his troops. After all, he and his Zhennan Army were rootless duckweeds to Jiangnan!
Although the enemy has been repelled now, the enemy's strength is still superior to his own. They will come back soon, but Xu Zhaojie is not sure whether they can repel the enemy's attack next time!
But the problem is that behind them is the Nanjiang River, and Nanjiang is controlled by the Jiangnan Navy. If they board the ship and retreat, they will inevitably be killed by the Jiangnan Navy in the Nanjiang River. By then, there will only be more than 10,000 Zhennan troops left. The soldiers will be fed in the Nanjiang River ...................................................................................................................................................................................................stard, the back road was intercepted again. Start thinking of new ways.
Originally, Xu Zhaojie didn't have any good ideas for the moment, but Fang Snake's appearance made him think of a possibility!
Now the large army must not be able to withdraw, but can Xu Zhaojie withdraw to Shouchun alone? At present, Xu Zhaojie is trapped in Chishan Mansion like a hidden dragon in the abyss, unable to command the entire Zhennan Army. If he can By returning to Shouchun, we can better mobilize the resources of the Zhennan Army, and may even reopen the Nanjiang River to continuously deliver reinforcements to Chishan Prefecture!
However, there is an issue that Xu Zhaojie needs to consider, that is, once the news of his departure leaks out, it will inevitably affect the morale of the army.
Originally, the Zhennan Army was at an absolute disadvantage in Chishan Prefecture with its troops and horses. If the morale dropped to the bottom, the entire army would be annihilated in an instant!
··············································· ················Yongliang, Jincheng!
Looking at the letter sent by Yi Jing, Ai Siduoan punched the bookcase hard, gritted his teeth and roared: "Ye Mingsheng, you bastard, you really bullied me too much!" Since going south to Jincheng smoothly, Ai Siduoan Stoan paid special attention to the movements of the Fengwu Army, hoping that his tough stance could scare the Fengwu Army and Ye Mingsheng, so that he could subdue the enemy without a fight, so that Ye Mingsheng would be forced to give up his conquest. Yongliang!
In Estogan's view, the Fengwu Army had just captured Luo'an, and now the Guanzhong area has not yet been completely consolidated. There are still several princes in the south who are in urgent need of conquest, so the Kipchak Khanate and Yongliang are not the main targets of the Fengwu Army. , so as long as he shows a tough enough attitude that he will not hesitate to fight, then Ye Mingsheng will make that smart choice!
In this way, after taking Yongliang, he gathered the main force of the Kipchak and went south this time. It was not a waste. He had an explanation within the Khanate. This also maintained his authority as the Great Khan!
Then he can turn his gun to deal with those damn Luo Bei people. Once he has dealt with the Luo Bei people and has no worries, he can have a showdown with Ye Mingsheng again!
Estogan thought very well and calculated very well, but unfortunately Ye Mingsheng did not follow the script he wrote!
In this letter just sent from Yi Jing, Esdogan learned the news that Ye Mingsheng led his army to swear an oath from Yi Jing!
And the full text of Ye Mingsheng’s speech at the swearing-in meeting... From the speech, Ye Mingsheng mentioned safeguarding all territorial sovereignty of the Zhou Dynasty many times, Judging from the news that Ye Mingsheng brought more than 30,000 people to the expedition, Esdogan felt Ye Mingsheng’s determination to regain Yongliang!
While this made Esdogan very angry, he also felt that this piece of shit Ye Mingsheng was too bullying. He had clearly made concessions and only captured Yongliang, and did not invade Guanzhong or even Luo'an.
You, Ye Mingsheng, gave up before things got better, and you still want to regain Yongliang and defend the territorial sovereignty of the Zhou Dynasty. Don't you think you are pushing the envelope?
After calming down the anger in his heart, Estoan ordered the guards around him: "Let all generals above the captain come to the house to discuss matters!" Estoan has already decided, since you, Ye Mingsheng, insist on fighting this battle, then I Just stay with me until the end!
Let’s see if it’s the stiff necks of your Zhou people or the sharpness of my Kipchak Khanate’s saber! After a stick of incense, Kipchak's generals rushed to the meeting to officially start. Before Esdogan could announce his decision, he received two more pieces of news that gave him a headache.
The first news was that the newly appointed Luobei Khan gathered all the Luobei troops and prepared to take advantage of the situation and recapture the western Elonqin grassland captured by the Kipchak Khanate.
The second news is that the Fengwu Army has taken control of the entire Guanzhong area and has begun to recruit former Forbidden Army soldiers to replenish its forces!
These two messages are undoubtedly signals of war, indicating that the Fengwu Army has begun comprehensive war preparations. Once the war begins, the Kipchak Khanate will be attacked from both sides... ·················
