Chapter 7 Chen Tang's Decision

Chen Tang sat in the main tent, Yang Su, Liu Ye, Cao Chun, Cao Xiu, Le Jin and others lined up in a line, all of them looked heavy, looking around the generals, Chen Tang said in a deep voice: "The news has already Confirmed, it was sent by the king himself. General Cao Ren died in battle. The Yan army drove straight from the north of Yanzhou. Now Puyang City has been surrounded. Now I just want to hear the opinions of the generals. What should we do next? manage?"

As soon as Chen Tang finished speaking, Cao Chun stood up and said, "General Chen, what should I do? Of course, I should immediately withdraw my troops and return to Yanzhou to rescue Puyang. Don't you want to watch Puyang City be destroyed and the king fall?" Into the hands of swallow thieves?"

Cao Xiu also supported Cao Chun, saying: "Now all other things have to be put aside, the most important thing is to immediately withdraw the troops and return to Puyang, and repel the Yan army that besieged Puyang. How about defeating Yue Fei?"

For Cao Chun and Cao Xiu's reaction, Chen Tang didn't have much disturbance. Cao Xiu and Cao Chun belonged to the Cao family, and they could be regarded as the clan. Naturally, the safety of Puyang was the most important thing in everything.

Chen Tang looked at the military advisor Liu Ye at this moment, and asked, "Zi Yang, what do you think?"

Liu Ye said: "Your Majesty's order to us is to find a way to deal with Yue Fei before we go back, because what His Majesty means is that although the Yan Army besieged Puyang City, with the strength of Puyang City, the Yan Army will never be able to do so within three to five years. Take Puyang City, so Your Majesty asked us to find a way to deal with Yue Fei first, but the foreign military order will not be accepted, the most important thing now is to return to Puyang, and other things can be put aside."

Yang Su frowned at this time and said: "But if we withdraw our troops back to Puyang now, we will let Yue Fei invade Yuzhou, and I am afraid that the whole Yuzhou will be eaten by Yue Fei."

Chen Tang and Liu Ye looked at each other, and finally Liu Ye said: "Generals, maybe you don't know yet, that General Wang Zhongsi has fought against the Chu army three times in Runan, but lost all three games. After all, Wang Zhongsi suffered heavy losses. The 2 soldiers and horses are now less than [-]. Facing the cutting edge of the Chu army, it is impossible to resist, so he has to fight and retreat. According to calculations, within ten days, Xiang Yu can lead the Chu army. The army killed us."

"What?" All the generals under Chen Tang's command were shocked when they heard the news from Liu Ye, especially Shi Bao, who was so shocked by the news that he stood up,

Chen Tang waved his hands to let the generals sit down, and then said: "General Wang Zhongsi was defeated by Xiang Yu one after another in Runan, and we have never been able to repel the Yan army here. I suspect that Yue Fei has been fighting for the past few days If you don't fight us, you are waiting for the news that Puyang is besieged, and everyone should know what the consequences will be if this news spreads among our Wei army."

After hearing Chen Tang's analysis, all the generals in the Wei army looked heavy, and Chen Tang continued: "So I guess it will be the time when Yue Fei is in trouble in a few days, and if we take ten thousand steps back, even if we can defeat Yue Fei may not be able to block the front of the Chu army. Now General Cao Ren's [-] troops have lost all of them, and General Wang Zhongsi's has also suffered heavy losses. The only thing the king can rely on is our [-] troops. It’s okay for the Wan Dajun to defend Puyang, but it’s wishful thinking to say that the [-] Puyang defenders want to defeat the Yan army, so the [-] troops in our hands must not be lost.”

Cao Chun said at this time: "General Chen, what are you waiting for? Since the situation is so serious now, we should immediately withdraw our troops and return to Yanzhou, and find a way to defeat the Yan army. Yanzhou is the place where our Great Wei started. Yanzhou, all of this is meaningful, if you lose Yuzhou, you will lose it, at worst, you will find a way to get it back in the future, but Yanzhou will never allow you to lose."

Chen Tang said: "I also understand, but now there is a problem, that is, once we withdraw our troops, Yue Fei will definitely chase after us, but once our army is disrupted by Yue Fei, the situation will not be good, so if we want to withdraw our troops, we must We must find a way to deal with Yue Fei, at least to make Yue Fei unable to chase us."

After listening to Chen Tang's words, Cao Chun, Cao Xiu and the others were lost in thought. Only after fighting with Yue Fei did they understand why Yue Fei was called the No.1 General of the Yan Kingdom.Although Yue Fei did not break through their defense line during this period of time, every time Chen Tang took the initiative to attack, he was beaten back mercilessly by Yue Fei, so now it seems that Yue Fei doesn't want to attack Yuzhou very much, or Yue Fei attacks Yuzhou The time seems to have not yet come.

And during this period of time, even though Chen Tang tried his best, he failed to take any advantage from Yue Fei, so Chen Tang was very afraid of Yue Fei.

Liu Ye said at this time: "I have a plan to make Yue Fei unable to pursue us, but this plan requires the cooperation of General Wang Zhongsi."

Yang Sudao: "Junshi Liu means to drive away tigers and devour wolves?"

Liu Ye said: "Exactly, Yue Fei is fierce, and Xiang Yu is not easy to mess with. In this case, we will give up this Yuzhou to Xiang Yu and Yue Fei, and let them fight each other in Yuzhou, and we will fight as fast as possible. Return to Yanzhou, drive back that Di Qing, and if both Yue Fei and Xiang Yu are injured, we may still have a chance to regain Yuzhou."

After hearing Liu Ye's words, the eyes of all the generals in the tent were brightened. This strategy of Liu Ye seemed to be good.

However, Chen Tang, the main general, was not blindly optimistic, but said: "But we can now receive the news that Puyang City was besieged, and Yue Fei will not be much later than us when he receives the news. I am afraid that this time is not enough." We communicated with Wang Zhongsi after all."

Liu Ye was also a little silent when he heard the words. After a long time, Liu Ye raised his head and continued: "In this case, we must withdraw from this place as quickly as possible and return to Yanzhou. It would be best if Yue Fei didn't pursue us. If Yue Fei sent us People are chasing us, we can leave an ambush to kill Yue Fei at the end, even if we can't hurt the Jin Peng army, we can stop the Jin Peng army's pursuit, even if Yue Fei regroups and wants to chase again We should have arrived in Yanzhou too."

Chen Tang heard the words and said: "Okay, let's follow Ziyang's plan, but we should send someone to talk to Wang Zhongsi first, otherwise if we withdraw and Wang Zhongsi doesn't know the news, then he may be angry Facing the attack from both sides of the Chu army and the Yan army."

Liu Ye nodded and said, "It should be so."

Chen Tang said in a deep voice at this time: "In this case, then we will go down immediately to pack up and start retreating tomorrow. Shi Bao and Shi Dakai, you two will lead [-] soldiers and horses to stay in the rear army and be responsible for breaking the rear. I don't ask you You must defeat the Yan army, but at least let me stop the Yan army's pursuit."

Shi Bao and Shi Dakai immediately stood up and said: "The final general will obey the order."

Chen Tang said again: "Cao Chun, Cao Xiu, you two lead five thousand soldiers and horses as the front army, open the way first, and return to Yanzhou quickly, remember. Don't attack without my order."

Cao Chun and Cao Xiu bowed their hands together to Chen Tang and said, "The general will understand."

And on the second day, Chen Tang led [-] soldiers and horses under his command to evacuate here quietly. It was already noon when Yue Fei found out that Chen Tang had withdrawn. Wang Bodang and the two led troops to pursue Chen Tang decisively, but they were ambushed by Shi Bao and Shi Dakai on the way, and they were beaten back.

By the time Yue Fei had rectified his troops, Chen Tang had already led the army away from this place. When Yue Fei wanted to pursue him again, the loss outweighed the gain.After weighing the pros and cons, Yue Fei did not lead his troops to pursue Chen Tang, but first occupied a large area of ​​counties in the eastern part of Yuzhou.

Although Chen Tang had already withdrawn, it wasn't that all was well for the Yan army. Yue Fei knew that he might meet an opponent who was ten or a hundred times stronger than Chen Tang.

Chapter 7 and Three: The Death of Wang Zhongsi

On the land of Runan County, Xiang Yu was holding a Tianlong Breaking City Halberd, riding on the incomparable steed riding the clouds and black horses, looking at the Wei army with only a few thousand people on the opposite side, there was a playful smile on the corner of his mouth smile.

Wang Zhongsi led 3 troops to Runan and fought several battles with Xiang Yu in succession, but Wang Zhongsi won none of the battles, and was defeated by Xiang Yu every time.The reason for Wang Zhongsi's consecutive defeats is that Xiang Yu's personal strength is too incomprehensible.

Among the Wei army under Wang Zhongsi's command, only Yuexi and Cao Zhang could block Xiang Yu's move, and they could only block Xiang Yu's move.After one move, Yuexi and Cao Zhang were seriously injured and defeated.And every time Wang Zhongsi made arrangements on the battlefield, Xiang Yu forcibly broke Wang Zhongsi's arrangements by relying on his own extremely powerful personal force.

After that, Wang Zhongsi also tried to use crowd tactics to overwhelm Xiang Yu, but the facts prove that once the personal force reaches Xiang Yu's level, the number of people may be meaningless to them.What's more, Wang Zhongsi only had 6 people under his command, but Xiang Yu led the army to attack Yuzhou this time and brought as many as [-] people.Therefore, the power available to Wang Zhongsi fell into a complete disadvantage both in terms of quality and quantity.

After that, he fought several battles with Xiang Yu in Runan County. Every time Wang Zhongsi ended in a disastrous defeat, and after each fiasco, Wang Zhongsi retreated to the rear. Now Wang Zhongsi has retreated to Xinyang. In the great battle, there were only more than ten thousand soldiers under Wang Zhongsi's command.

And Wang Zhongsi, who had retreated to Xinyang, could be said to have no choice but to retreat. Under Zhuge Liang's suggestion, Xiang Yu had already sent Zhong Limei and Ji Bu to lead the troops to copy Wang Zhongsi's retreat. Zhong Si was already surrounded by the Chu army led by Xiang Yu in Xinyang, unable to advance or retreat.

In the end, after a fierce psychological struggle, Wang Zhongsi decided to lead more than ten thousand Wei troops under his command to a final bloody battle with Xiang Yu. This time when Wang Zhongsi put on his armor again, he already had the will to die, and he had already lost the desire to live.

Wang Zhongsi rode his horse and walked in front of the army, looking at the Chu army who was already showing their figure in the distance, Wang Zhongsi's gaze was extremely calm at this time, without any waves.

Let Wang Zhongsi make the decision to fight to the death, besides the fact that Zhong Limei and Ji Bu were already leading the army and cut off Wang Zhongsi's retreat, making Wang Zhongsi unable to retreat, there was another reason that Wang Zhongsi was also a recruiter. When they arrived at Puyang, the news from Cao Ang made Wang Zhongsi know that Puyang City was besieged by Di Qing and his troops, and that Cao Ren and others had all died in battle in the northern part of Yanzhou.

And although Wang Zhongsi has been fighting Xiang Yu in Runan, Wang Zhongsi has been paying attention to the news of Chen Tang's army, and Yue Fei, who Chen Tang faced, had nothing to do with him after he led his troops into Yuzhou. He moved, but he kept confronting Chen Tang.

At first, Wang Zhongsi did not understand why Yue Fei, the No.1 general of the Yan Kingdom, would do such a thing, but now Wang Zhongsi understands that Yue Fei has been waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to eat all of Chen Tang in one fell swoop. .Now judging from the situation, the time Yue Fei was waiting for has come.I just don't know if Chen Tang can keep most of his elite in the face of Yue Fei.

The current situation in the state of Wei makes Wang Zhongsi see no hope, so Wang Zhongsi has the will to die, and wants to repay the importance Cao Cao, Cao Ang and his sons place on him by dying.

Wang Zhongsi was first under Yuan Shu's command, but although Yuan Shu valued Wang Zhongsi, he never regarded Wang Zhongsi as his own, so in the end Yuan Shu died and Cao Cao surrendered, Wang Zhongsi surrendered to Cao Cao.After joining Cao Cao's command, Wang Zhongsi was also valued by Cao Cao, so he was also very satisfied with Cao Cao, the lord Wang Zhongsi.After Cao Cao's death, Cao Ang, who succeeded the king of Wei, did not settle accounts with those who did not show favor to Cao Ang when Cao Ang was still the prince of Wei. Instead, he always entrusted Wang Zhongsi with important tasks.

So now that there is no way out for Wei Guo, Wang Zhongsi just doesn't want to continue watching. He doesn't want to see Wei Guo, which he has watched grow up little by little, finally perish.So when Wang Zhongsi entered today's battlefield, it was impossible for him to go back alive. Today's Wang Zhongsi could only end up in one end, and that was to die on this battlefield.

Xiang Yu's Tianlong City Breaking Halberd pointed straight ahead, and said loudly: "Soldiers of the Great Chu, follow me to Xiang Yu's formation today to defeat the enemy."

"Break the enemy!"

"Break the enemy!"

······

A cry erupted from the mouths of the soldiers of the Chu Army behind Xiang Yu, and then Xiang Yu smiled slightly, and the Tianlong City Breaking Halberd slashed in the air, and then the two front hooves of Treading Cloud Wuzhao leaped high, carrying Xiang Yu He rushed to the Wei army.

Behind Xiang Yu is Xiang Yu's three thousand overlord cavalry.The Three Thousand Overlord Iron Cavalry is Xiang Yu's personal guard, and it can also be said to be the most powerful army in the Chu State. Although there are only 3000 soldiers, they are all strong soldiers who can count as ten. At that time, the Wei army led by Wang Zhongsi had only ten thousand people, even if the number was ten times larger, the overlord's cavalry would not change color in any way.

Every knight of the overlord's iron cavalry firmly believes that under the leadership of Xiang Yu, even if there are millions of troops ahead, he and others can defeat him.

This is the confidence that belongs to the Overlord Iron Cavalry!

"Xiang Yu's basic force is 100, basic command is 99, Tianlong City Breaking Halberd force +1, Wujin Panlong Armor force +1, Cloud Stepping Wuzhi force +1. The skill Overlord activates, force +9, the skill Overlord activates, force + 12, leadership +6. Xiang Yu's current strength is 124, and his current leadership is 105."

"Xiang Yu is affected by the Overlord's Iron Cavalry Legion's Overlord Breaker effect, force +3, leadership +3, Xiang Yu's current force is 127, and his current leadership is 108."

Wang Zhongsi looked at Xiang Yu and the three thousand overlord "Wang cavalry" who had already rushed into the formation of his own army, and then looked at the Chu army who rushed to kill after closely following the overlord's cavalry. Han Xin called over and said: "Han Xin, our army will definitely lose in this battle. As the general of the army, I should live and die with the entire army, but you are different. You are still young and have great potential. , After a while, you find a way to rush out and live for me. "

Han Xin looked at Wang Zhongsi, who was already explaining his funeral, with determination in his eyes.

Wang Zhongsi said again at this time: "Nowadays, among the major princes in the world, you don't need to go to Chu, and you probably won't achieve much if you go there. Qin is too far away, so now you either go to Tang or Shu. country, or go to the country of Yan, which is the most powerful in the world today, but there are too many capable ministers and generals in the country of Yan, and you may not be able to fully display your strength if you go there."

At this time, Wang Zhongsi suddenly laughed at himself, and said: "However, it's up to you to choose. Remember, you must live."
