Lord of the House

Chen Zhihu Queshan Camp.

On the early morning of the 21st, some white mist spread out from both sides of the river bank, covering the trees in the distance, and the tops of the trees were faintly visible.

At the front base of the Queshan camp, eight thousand paces were riding on the pillow, Gao Yi was wearing armor and straddling, sitting on the back of the horse, with the reins, and said to Leng Zilin, "Old Gao, I will go first, and I will be waiting for you in Xinye to lead the way. Come here."

"Remember, Tu An obeys my orders. If you don't, you will go with him. Don't stop him. After you enter Xinye, you must not take another step forward..."

"What if the Xinye defender is not allowed to enter the city?" Gao Yi asked.

"Kill! I'll explain it to Prince Mu later." Chen Zhihu's scarred face was even more ferocious in the mist in the morning, and he said to Leng Zilin, "Come back to Wuyang, lead your troops to the west of Tongbai Mountain, go south, enter After Nanyang City, wait for my further military orders, you can know..."

"I know." Leng Zilin grinned.

Chen Zhihu motioned to Gao Yi and Leng Zilin to leave the camp first, and his eyes looked at the mist in the distance, revealing a fierce light.

At this time, it was too late to rush to Fancheng. He led the main force to Fancheng, and he would arrive at Fancheng in four days at the earliest. He was afraid that even the cucumbers would be cold.

Xinye was in the north of Fancheng and Zaoyang. He sent Gao Yi to lead 8,000 cavalry cavalry first. Taking over Xinye's defense, he would temporarily block the passage of the Huaidong Army to seize Xichuan and Wuguan in the west, and then he led the main force into Nanyang and filled in. Going to Wuguan and controlling Baiyangguan and Danjiangkou in the lower reaches of Wuguan River can prevent the entire battle of Jingxiang from being lost without even underwear.

Moreover, the Huaidong ambush will inevitably block the front line of Zaoyang and Fancheng first, in order to wipe out the Beiyan troops and horses on the east bank of the Han River first. At that time, there must be a large number of defeated troops coming to Zaoyang and Fancheng. When Gao Yi entered Xinye, he would be able to make Huaidong's ambushes unable to completely block the nearly 100-mile-wide gap between Zaoyang and Fancheng, and to gather some defeated soldiers in Xinye to preserve more strength.

********************

Due to Dong Yuan's intention to delay, the time when he dispatched Xinyang Prefecture and the troops and horses east of Xinyang Prefecture to attack the Suizhou Army at the northern foot of the Huaishan Mountains reached Xinyang, even in Zhengyang County in the northwest corner of Xinyang Prefecture.

When Meng Yan and Meng Zhixiang received the military commander and saw that Dong Yuan had crossed the Laihe River to meet Ning Zechen on the east bank, the sky was already bright, and it was already the early morning of the 21st...

Meng Yong and Meng Zhixiang walked into Ning Zechen's camp of the Chinese army, only to see Song Shixing, Liu Xilin, Yang Shi, He Zongliang, Hu Qiaokou, Ge Yuan, Wang Shouer and other generals there.

Song Shixing was Song Fu's cousin, and he was a soldier in charge of the Song family; after the Song family was attached, Song Shixing resigned from his post and took up the post of Huai'an Prefecture.

After Luo Xiancheng surrendered to Yan and sent troops to Huaishan to attack Xinyang, not only did Xinyang's farming and agriculture become paralyzed, but Shouzhou and Haozhou were also recruited into the camp because of the colony, which greatly affected the land reclamation.

Liu Tingzhou went to Huangzhou to meet Lin Fu, and agreed that Ning Zechen would lead his troops to aid Huaixi. At the same time, he agreed that after Ning Zechen led his troops westward, they would need to transport grain from Shanyang for supplies, and the grain and grass in Xinyang City would also be needed. Huaidong Relief——Although it is a long journey from Shanyang, Huaian Prefecture, fortunately, there are waterways connected, and the Huaihe River enters the Laihe River, which can directly transport grain and grass between Xinyang City and the east bank fortress.

Song Shixing also supervised the transportation of nearly 100,000 stone materials just four days ago, and he has not been able to completely unload the materials at this time.

In addition to the more than 100 warships of the Huaidong Navy in the upper reaches of the Laihe River, the Laihe River was crowded with large ships and small boats in the past few days.

Yang Shi and Ge Yuan are the generals of the second water battalion in Jinghai, and Yang Shi's high-ranking deputy commander; Liu Xilin, Hu Qiaoguan, He Zongliang and Wang Shouer, who were born in the Huaisi refugee army, are the first division system of Fengli Camp. Army, deputy army, brigade general...

At this time, it was not yet bright, and candles were still burning in the tent. It was early winter, and Xinyang was already a bit chilly. Ning Zechen wore a white robe outside the armor, stood in front of the sand table, watched Meng Yan and Meng Zhixiang come in, and said, "I'm going to send someone to invite Meng. Your lord, Meng Bingbei is here..."

The sand table shows the terrain of Huaixi, and Xinyang, Shouzhou, Haozhou, and Sizhou are all listed among them. According to the military order announced by Dong Yuan, the route of the Huaixi army is also marked on the sand table.

"Dong Yuan ordered the troops from the Xinyang villages to gather in the south to attack Huaishan on the same day. Commander Ning can see this." Meng Yan didn't hesitate, the situation was urgent, and he said straight to the point.

"Well, after midnight, Dong Zhao asked the envoy to send someone to tell this side," Ning Zechen said, "I was about to send someone to invite Master Meng and Meng Bingbei to come here, just to discuss this matter."

The defenders of Xincheng were nominally still under the jurisdiction of Huaidong Xingying, so they received orders; Ning Zechen was ordered to fight jointly with the Huaixi army, so Dong Yuan sent envoys to announce, there were some differences.

"Dong Yuan wanted to take the troops and horses in the Xinyang Mansion out of time immediately, to hide his ill intentions not to tell anyone," Meng Yan said, "I think Duke Chongguo would have expected this. Commander Ning asks the policy." He also looked at Ning Zechen nervously, afraid that Ning Zechen would say that he was caught off guard and helpless.

"Dong Yuan was considered a generation of heroic heroes before, and he has some fame, but today he was crossing the border with the enemy, and the leaks were enough to ruin his reputation," Song Shixing stood aside, still despising Dong Yuan's behavior, and said coldly. Said, "Dong Yuan still wants to block in front of Huaidong, but it's just a man's arm to block the car, it's not a concern..."

"Dong Yuan is indeed a petty act," Meng Zhixiang pretended that Ning Zechen and the others hadn't realized the seriousness of the problem, and stood aside and took the conversation, "If Chen Zhihu went to aid Fancheng, it might not be a big deal, just be afraid of it. Chen Zhihu took advantage of the situation to defend Wuguan and besieged the enemy on the west bank of the Han River, fearing that he would not be able to achieve success..."

Meng Yan saw that Ning Zechen and Song Shixing exchanged glances, and suddenly realized that Song Shixing's words were trying to test them. At this time, he concluded that Lin Fu had a backhand against Dong Yuan, and this backhand must be extremely spicy. Those who are not directly related to the confidant are not allowed to be prophets.

Meng Ying pretended not to see Song Shixing's intention to test, and continued to ask: "Chaishan ambushing soldiers, it may be better if Dong Yuan is not informed in full, or if it is delayed for another three or four days..."

"There are only a handful of tricks in the world that can be compared to Dong Yuan's. Just by telling them about the attack on Fancheng, he can probably guess a lot of doubts; moreover, Cao Shuai will probably attack Suizhou today; Luo Xiancheng, who was in the middle of nowhere, was bound to be alarmed, and Dong Yuan could guess what was going on between Huaishan. Since the lord asked me to tell him the whole plan at this time, I also considered all kinds of possibilities-he had to be firm. The scalp is the enemy of Huaidong, how can you make him wishful?" Ning Zechen opened the locked wooden crate on the desk, took out a letter, handed it to Meng Yan, and said, "This is the master's secret letter, to At the time, I once said that Lord Meng would be able to see through Dong Yuan's scheming, and asked me to send the secret letter to Lord Meng to read together..."

Lin Fu's official letter, whether it is a clear letter to the world or a secret order that is limited to a certain range of people, will be issued in the form of a Privy Council order, even within the Huaidong Army - Meng Yan listens to Ningze The minister said that there was a secret letter, not a secret order, so he relaxed a little: it was true.

The secret order of the Privy Council, no matter how secret it is, must be kept on file in the Privy Council.

Dong Yuan is now the general manager of Huaixi, Henan recruiting envoys, and a minister of the imperial court. Especially when Dong Yuan did not make a big mistake, Lin Fu naturally couldn't directly imitate the order of the Privy Council to think that there was a different backhand against Dong Yuan.

The secret letter was Lin Fu's private order, and only those who trusted him could read it.

Meng Yan thought that he had come by himself, but he had come right. If he couldn't see through Dong Yuan's dissent or hesitated because he saw through Dong Yuan's dissent, he would passively accept the secret order, and would no longer be eligible to sit down with him. Ning Zechen, Song Shixing and others read Lin Fu's secret letter together...

After reading the secret letter, Meng Yan laughed and said: "Dong Yuan's organs have been counted, and I can't believe that the lord has already counted his organs..."

Song Zechen said, "I'll leave it to Lord Meng for two days to prepare, is it too late?" Ning Zechen asked.

"The generals and their families are all in Xinyang City, two days is enough." Meng Yan said.

****************

In the early morning of the 21st, in Luodian, which is at the intersection of Suizhou and Lishan, the fog was much larger than that of Xinyangfu on the north bank of Huaishan.

Because the channel connecting Zaoyang and Shicheng in the west of Suizhou has been blocked, Luo Xianyi, who was in Dongluodian in Suizhou City, did not know the news of Fancheng's fall at this time.

Yesterday, Luo Xianyi led his troops out of Suizhou Aidli Mountain before noon, and went to Luodian at night. The journey was 70 miles.

There were few generals in the Huaidong Army who were blind, but Lin Fu insisted on supplying fish and meat to the generals. In the Suizhou army, Luo Xiancheng's direct line soldiers and horses were not as good as the Huaidong Army. In this camp, ten people have two or three bird blindness, which is not good for night travel.

Luo Xianyi took a temporary rest at Zhangjiawan in Luodian after nightfall yesterday, and was supposed to set off to Lishan after dawn this morning.

When the fog was surging in the early morning, Luo Xianyi was anxious.

"General Zhenguo, I am really worried about the safety of Lishan. If I want to take the lead and kill a few more enemy soldiers, I ask General Zhenguo for permission." Although Zhou Sheng, who Luo Wenhu sent to Suizhou to rescue, said that he was rude, but he also lied. Face does not change color.

Luo Xianyi was also suspicious of him, thinking that he was also a loyal savior, so he allowed him to lead a few soldiers who came to the rescue to ride first, which could be regarded as a distant post to explore the road to Lishan first.

Zhou Sheng led a few soldiers and cavalry across the Zhangjia River, and traveled east along the avenue in the fog, about ten miles away, and suddenly dozens of cavalry rushed out from the fog on the two wings-Zhou Shengqing rushed to the soldiers, busy Misunderstanding to kill, he hurriedly threw his saber and got off his horse and shouted, "I am Lishan Zhou Gouzhu. Grandpa Cao Shuai sent me to lure Suizhou soldiers. Luo Xianyi led reinforcements in the river bend in Zhangjiawan in front..."

"Cao Shuai gave you the name Zhou Sheng, why are you lying on the ground and calling yourself Zhou Gou left?"

Zhou Sheng looked up, Luo Wenhu was sitting on the horse's back with the reins and watching his jokes. He got up and asked happily, "You guys have already come here, shouldn't you have done it last night?"

"Last night arrived, but seeing Luo Xianyi resting in Zhangjiawan and seeing the white fog on the river, he didn't do it, changed his plan, and waited until the main force behind came over." Luo Wenhu motioned for Zhou Sheng to ride with him to the dwarf in the south of the road. Slope away.

The fields on the roadside have been barren for years, and are covered with wormwood that can be left without a head. After Zhou Sheng followed Luo Wenhu to the low slope, he saw that there were people and horses hiding in the wormwood bushes by the roadside. .

Zhou Sheng was about to ask Luo Wenhu when to attack when he heard the faint sound of drums, and the generals hidden among the wormwood rose up upon hearing the drums. —

Zhou Sheng and Luo Wenhu were standing on the top of the slope. The white fog had not yet dissipated, and they could only see a distance of one or two hundred meters, but there were crowds of people between these two hundred meters. Li BingBan shone with cold light, like the sparkle of the tide, and it was fascinating to watch.

At this moment, Zhou Sheng thought: he should fight side by side with them.

Luo Wenhu was also fascinated when he saw the army attacking in the morning fog, thinking: As a general, only when you lead such elite soldiers to gallop on the battlefield can you live a happy life.

Lishan City was taken over by Wang Xiang's Huadong Army, and Luo Wenhu led 3,000 defenders to be temporarily incorporated into Tang Fuguan's department and marched westward together with the army.

It's a pity, no matter how unfeeling, the soldiers and horses of Zhangjiawan in front of them all had a comradeship with them. They took refuge in Huaidong for a new life, but they couldn't bear to trample on the old robes - fortunately, Cao Zi'ang did not force them to be the pioneers to attack Luo Xianyi.

After a long time, I heard a loud killing sound in the white fog ahead, which seemed to be near and far, and seemed to be far and near.

After a long time, it took a little more time for a stick of incense, and the sound of fighting showed signs of moving westward. Luo Wenhu and Zhou Sheng looked at each other: Luo Xianyi can't stop him from retreating to Suizhou? Luo Xianyi had 5,000 soldiers and horses in his hands~www.wuxiaspot.com~ At this time, several cavalry came, headed by Cao Ziang's personal guard Cao Peng, before Luo Wenhu listened to his horse, he dismounted and said, "Cao Shuai ordered you Lead the troops to prepare immediately, and after the fog clears, rush to Pinglin Port with Liu Zhenzhi..."

"Ah," Luo Wenhu was stunned and asked, "Didn't I plan to ambush Luo Xianyi, I led my troops to attack Zaoyang directly with General Tang Fuguan? Why did the plan suddenly change..."

"In the early morning of the north of Huaishan, there was a letter riding into Lishan, and Dong Yuan wanted to send Chen Zhihu to the south. Cao Shuai and General Zhou thought that setting up a blockade directly to Zaoyang was too thin and could not stop too many defeated troops, so they temporarily changed the plan. General Liu Zhenzhi led his troops to set up an ambush at Pinglin Port..." Cao Peng said, "Cao Shuai asked me to tell you that the first batch of enemy troops who fled north was most likely the cavalry led by Meng Anchan, and you must do a good job of resisting the enemy troops. Prepare for the impact! On the way, General Liu Zhenzhi will distribute some shield carts and bed crossbows to you."

Pinglin Port is fifty or sixty miles south of Zaoyang, between Dahong Mountain and Han River. The enemy soldiers must escape from the west foot of Dahong Mountain to the north. Intercept the north fleeing enemy cavalry in the open field.

Luo Wenhu has some doubts: Since Dong Yuan intends to let Chen Zhihu go south, shouldn't they rush to Fancheng to meet and prevent Chen Zhihu from attacking Fancheng? Of course, he had just surrendered to Huaidong, and he did not know much about the inside of the Huaidong Army. Although he had doubts in his heart, he kept his mouth shut and did not ask more questions. After receiving the military order from Cao Peng, he sent Zhou Sheng to lead a few people to find him. Liu Zhenzhi made contact with the army, he first went to Po and then temporarily led his troops westward...

From here to Pinglin Port, there are two hundred and seventy-eight miles. They can't compete with the elites of the Huaidong Army's direct line. If they don't fall too far, they can only hurry up every moment. My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
