Qunggang County.
A short general was sitting on a chair, frowning and sipping tea.
Sitting below were some general-looking people.
Most of them were sitting casually on the chairs. One of them picked up the tea cup and drank it in one gulp. He wiped his mouth habitually, took out a few tea leaves from his mouth, and wiped it on the armrest of the chair.
A person who looked like a maid timidly came in to refill tea for several people, and then walked out gently.
The general at the head is Yang Song, the general of the Shaanzhou West Route Army.
Just now, the person Wu Wen came to deliver the news had been sent away.
In fact, there was no need for Wu Wen to send someone to deliver the news, Yang Song was hesitant at first.
Although before setting off, Ma Yaohan said that they would postpone the advance after taking the Qungang County government, but after actually capturing Qungang County, Yang Song's heart also changed.
But he was not as indifferent as Chen Hong.
Yang Song knew the situation in Nanxiang County very well. From the earliest days when Fan Hanzhong was still serving as the prefecture shepherd in Hezhou, they took advantage of their proximity to Hezhou and arranged many spies to pretend to be merchants and enter Nanxiang County. On the township and county side.
Not only is he familiar with the situation in Nanxiang County, but he also has contacts with many people in the county government.
Therefore, the deployment of troops in Nanxiang County, and even any disturbance, are all clear.
This time, they were able to easily capture Qungang County, largely because they had already arranged many people in Qungang County Government.
When they were attacking the city, they had already blocked the surrounding roads, and no news came out, so they cooperated inside and outside to capture it.
From the beginning, Yang Song was also very cautious.
After all, after Zhang Bao became the governor of Hezhou, the changes in Hezhou were changing with each passing day.
I'm afraid it's not that easy to deal with.
But I didn't expect that it went as smoothly as expected, and there has been no counterattack from Hezhou yet.
Yang Song began to have other thoughts in his heart.
The reason for this is, on the one hand, that their actions this time were very fast and they could not react at all.
On the other hand, it convinced him that Zhang Bao was not in Hezhou.
Only this can explain it.
Otherwise, if Zhang Bao was in Heyang County, after hearing the news, he would definitely lead his troops to resist, and they would not be able to take down Nanxiang County so easily.
And Fan Hanzhong is far away from here, beyond his reach. This seems to be the opportunity.
Do you want to move too?
For Yang Song, he really wants to continue going north.
But unexpectedly, Wu Wen sent someone to send a message just now, which made Yang Song restrained.
This martial art has always been valued by Ma Yaohan. In addition, Ma Yaohan also reminded them before that if he went, even if he won, he would offend these two people. If he lost, it would be troublesome.
But if you don’t go, there is such a good opportunity...
This time, Ma Yaohan asked them to send out troops in three groups, which was not without the meaning of competition. Whoever conquered Heyang County first would be the first success!
"well……"
"It's difficult..."
Yang Song put down the tea cup and sighed softly.
"General, I heard that when Zhang Bao was in Sanhe County, Mrs. Zhou Mu got sick, and Zhang Bao went everywhere to seek medicine."
"If we send a team of people in advance, disguised as refugees, to Sanhe County, if we find a chance to capture Mrs. Zhou Mu, we may be able to take advantage of Zhang Bao."
A general came forward and said.
"fart!"
"How can we use such a despicable method to threaten war with a woman?"
"What the hell is this a bad idea?"
Yang Song glanced at the general.
"Yes Yes Yes!"
"Some of my subordinates..."
"However, what you said is a good idea."
Yang Song thought of something, nodded and said.
"In this way, you select some smart people, let them mix with the people fleeing in Nanxiang County, sneak into Heyang County in advance, and when we attack Heyang County later, let them wait for the opportunity to cooperate with us internally and externally. "
"Before, Heyang County was impenetrable with needles and oil. Now it's a good opportunity to take advantage of the people in Nanxiang County to escape."
Yang Song said to the man.
"Yes! General!"
"I'll make arrangements right away!"
…
Northwest of Hezhou.
Fan Hanzhong has also received news of the fall of Nanxiang County.
"Sir, Nanxiang County is under attack, why is there no movement at all from the adjacent Heyang County?"
"Who has the final say in Heyang County now?"
One of the generals said angrily.
He used to be Fan Hanzhong's old subordinate. For the first time in so many years, Hezhou was captured.
When Fan Hanzhong was a state pastor before, this kind of thing had never happened.
"I know what you want to say, but you have to understand that the current situation is different from what we were at that time. Even if I am the state pastor now, and even if Chen Dadao is still the governor of Heyang County, maybe the result now will be the same. the same."
Fan Hanzhong said to the man calmly.
"Why is this?"
The general didn't quite understand.
"Judging from the terrain, there are mountains in the south of Heyang County. There is only one area that can barely allow the army to pass. Otherwise, there will be a lot of detours."
"But across the mountains, Nanxiang County is flat. In addition, Shaanzhou acted very quickly this time. Even if they sent out troops in time, it would be too late. Instead, after they captured the county and the county capital, they became Active versus passive.”
"This is also the reason why the people of Shaanzhou did not continue to advance north after taking the city."
"If they stick to the city and wait for our troops to attack, they can wait for work and slowly consume the troops of Heyang County. In this way, after the troops of Heyang County are almost exhausted, they can take advantage of them in one fell swoop. Go to Heyang County."
"Although this Ma Yaohan has a hot temper, he is quite knowledgeable when it comes to fighting, and he has many brave generals under his command. The three people sent this time have all been his subordinates for many years."
"But now Heyang County is standing still, which makes the troops in Shaanzhou passive."
"The troops in Heyang County are pretty good."
Fan Hanzhong said slowly.
"As for what you just said, Zhang Bao has the final say in Heyang County, but now..."
Fan Hanzhong shook his head.
So far, there is no news about Zhang Bao from his side.
"But general, if the Shaanzhou troops march northward, it will be difficult to resist with the troops in Heyang County. If Sanhe County is captured, it will be dangerous for the morale of Hezhou. "
Another general said to Fan Hanzhong.
"You're right!"
"Shaanzhou's capture of Nanxiang County has already made the surrounding areas ready to move. If this continues, it is estimated that Wen Fuli of Jeju will also change."
"Heyang County has no room for error!"
"In this way, Wu Linxu, you will lead 20,000 light cavalry and march at starry night to aid Heyang County. No matter what, you will stop the Shaanzhou troops in Nanxiang County!"
Fan Hanzhong said to a general.
"yes!"
"I will prepare my troops immediately!"
Wu Linxu said and walked out.
"Report!"
"The state pastor has an order!"
At this moment, a soldier hurried in and said.
