Lord of the House

Dengzhou Town has more than 12,000 generals and soldiers, divided into water infantry troops, and the infantry battalion has less than 6,000 people. After Liu Ye flew to Dengzhou, he recruited the people and formed them in a hurry. The combat effectiveness is very limited, only slightly better than the rural soldiers and civilians.

In comparison, even if the generals of the Dengzhou navy were transferred ashore, their combat power would be much stronger than that of the Buying.

Qingzhou Victory, annihilated the enemy and captured countless armour at one time, no need for Liu Yefei to refuel, and the generals of Dengzhou Town are also eager to try, and have the heart to enter Qingzhou to fight.

Among them, there are generals who are opportunistic and want to seize the battlefield, and there are generals who have always advocated supporting Qingzhou after seeing the relationship between Qingzhou and Dengzhou.

However, after a few days of research, Liu Yefei also managed to induce him in the center. The generals of Dengzhou Town finally made a strategy of approaching from the east wing, step by step, and steadily advancing, mainly to assist the Qingzhou Army to recover Linzi, Guangrao, Hengtai and other places. The remnants of Chen Zhihu in the hinterland of Qingzhou were annihilated or driven out, and they threatened the main force of Yanhu troops besieging Yangxin from the south, but did not enter directly from Xiaoqinghe or Zhulonghe to shake the courage and ambition of the main force of Yanhu troops.

This tactical choice made Dengzhou Town have nearly 100 warships, but their role was limited to transporting grain supplies into Changyi at the fastest speed via sea routes and Jiaolai River from Dengzhou, and blocked the The passage from Changyi to Laizhou.

The conservatism and prudence of the generals in Dengzhou Town gave Liu Yefei an excuse to dignifiedly transfer some of the navy generals ashore to strengthen the foot camp.

Liu Yefei finally appointed Zhao Zhen, a veteran of the Dengzhou town navy, as the main general to rescue Qingzhou. He assembled more than 8,000 soldiers and horses to land on the shore, and another 2,000 navy troops were sent on forty warships to transport food supplies. and as a follow-up. Liu Yefei himself led a water infantry army of more than 2,000 people in the rear.

Since the Qingzhou Army has recaptured Changyi, the area east of Changyi looks quite safe.

On August 19th, the troops and horses in Qingzhou were divided into two routes. All the way, the troops and horses marched first. They took the land route, passed through the low hills and mountains at the southern foot of Fuling and Kunyu Mountains, and passed directly through the north of Laiyang and Pingdu. Very quickly, on the 23rd, he entered the territory of Changyi, arrived at the east bank of the Jiaolai River, and waited for an opportunity to cross the river.

The other soldiers and horses were mainly navy soldiers. They set off from Daoyu Village on the 21st, carrying food and grass supplies, and entered the Jiaolai River from the west of Laizhou by sea. They also entered the southeast area of ​​Changyi on the 23rd. Geqiao merges with the first soldiers and horses.

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

Everything went according to plan, but Liu Yefei felt an inexplicable unease in his heart.

This unease does not mean that Liu Yefei has realized that Huaidong or Jiangning intends to interfere, but that people are always inexplicably nervous when things are about to be completed.

It was not much different from the moment when I entered the examination room at the beginning of the year and was about to enter the bridal chamber.

Liu Yefei was hoping that things would be settled as soon as possible, so that his hanging heart could fall back to its original place, but before Chen Zhihu, a fierce tiger, came out of Linzi City, Liu Yefei knew that he had to be patient and could not stay behind in other places. The officials and generals of the army showed their feet in front of them.

Since ancient times, it is rare in the world to be generous to righteousness. When Qingzhou was in danger, Dengzhou officials and generals were in a panic, and they planned to fight each other, and it was not without the intention of thieves; but after the Qingzhou victory, the situation had a tendency to reverse, and the people in Dengzhou settled down .

Speaking of which, if Liu Yefei hadn't known about Chen Zhihu's strategy beforehand, he would have deceived the deceitful defeat in Qingzhou City - think about it again, Chen Zhihu's strategy this time was just a repeat of Yanhu's old strategy.

When Li Zhuo captured Songshan, the court and the opposition rejoiced again and again, and it was just around the corner to pacify Liao. Only Li Zhuo felt that winning the Battle of Songshan was a strange one, and restoring the Donglu in Songshan was a fraudulent defeat, and he refused to use troops against Liaoyang again. However, Emperor Chongguan's confidence inflated too much, and he suspected that Li Zhuo had left the bandits with self-respect.

The defeat of Songshan was so similar to the defeat of Qingzhou, but the people around here were as stupid as pigs and didn't notice it -- thinking of this, Liu Yefei felt that the Yuan family was helpless.

On the one hand, the state of Yanhu, Wen Tao and martial arts, has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, horses, and soldiers.

On the one hand, the Yuan clan retreated to Jiangning, the emperor was weak and the generals and ministers were arrogant, the ruler and the ministers were suspicious, and the generals and ministers were intrigued.

Comparing the two, Liu Yefei didn't believe that when the Yanhu army broke through the Hehuai line of defense and headed south, the Yuan clan would be able to guarantee half of the country.

Liu Yefei had some such thoughts. Zhang Xie sent someone to send a secret letter. Without much hesitation, he decided to abandon the south and surrender to the north.

Thinking of this, Liu Yefei suppressed the anxiety in his heart, and looked out, the setting sun shrouded the green hills. Hearing the footsteps, he looked back and saw his nephew Liu Zhiyong came over and asked, "Zhiyong, Zhao Zhen sent someone back today to report where they have gone?" He and Zhao Zhen agreed to visit Dengzhou every day to report to Qingzhou The movements of the troops and horses, so that he can keep track of them at any time.

"No one has ever entered the city," said Liu Zhiyong, "but my uncle worked hard day and night, and advised him to go to rest first; when he went to the stable, his nephew would keep an eye on him, and when there was news, he would not delay for a moment, and he would report it. My uncle knows..."

"The bigger the event is, the more sloppy it is." Liu Yefei forgot his unease just now, and at this time he trained his nephew Liu Zhiyong.

"Yes, my nephew knows," Liu Zhiyong nodded and said yes, "but my uncle should call out Hu Yu'er as soon as possible to grasp the situation in Swordfish Village..."

"Hu Yu'er can't escape to the sky..." Liu Yefei said, "We have to be patient here, we can't scare the snakes."

Liu Zhiyong hesitated.

Liu Yefei added: "As long as Zhao Zhen's department is surrounded by Chen Zhihu in Changyi, we have an excuse to send troops to strengthen the defense of the Swordfish Village. At this time, even if we use the excuse of discussing matters, we call Hu Yu'er to Dengzhou City and detain him, but Hu Yu'er will be detained in Dengzhou City. The four or five hundred people under his command are not so easy to grasp..."

Having said that, Liu Yefei asked his nephew Liu Zhiyong again: "Should Chen Zhihu have too many troops in Linzi, can he be able to surround Zhao Zhen's 10,000 people to death? The military books often say that ten thousand people are surrounded, and Chen Zhihu has no way to be in Linzi City. Hide 100,000 soldiers and horses."

Liu Zhiyong smiled and said, "A hundred sheep in the wild can be surrounded by four or five wolves, so why use ten times as many sheep to surround them?"

"Oh," Liu Yefei felt a little unhappy, even though Zhao Zhen's ten thousand people were sheep, it was because he didn't do his job well after leaving the Dengzhou Prefecture, he paused for a while, and then continued on the topic just now: It is indeed what you said. Liu Fang's loyalty can be trusted, but his ability to lead troops is a little loose, so we must avoid stunning snakes and robbing swordfish villages. On the water camp, there are boats that can escape to the south. , in terms of whether to vote for Yanhu, the mentality of the Dengzhou government is completely different. Or Chen Zhihu can send a partial division to rush over first, and we can also control Daoyu Village in advance."

Liu Yefei sent the main force of Dengzhou Town, but there were still some troops left behind in Dengzhou City.

There are four or five hundred sailors in Swordfish Village. Although they are also controlled by Liu Yefei, there is no convincing excuse, and Liu Yefei cannot transfer the last four or five hundred guards of Swordfish Village. Liu Yefei was even less confident, and directly used the two battalions of infantry he controlled, whose generals were his confidants, to seize the Swordfish Village by force.

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves came from the front yard. Liu Yefei turned his head to look at the sound of horses' hooves, and said to his nephew Liu Zhiyong, "Maybe there is movement in the west..." and Liu Zhiyong walked directly to the outer hall.

The scout, whose face was covered in blood, helped the yamen in, knelt in front of the hall, and said, "When General Zhao led his army to cross the Jiaolai River, an enemy army raided Changyi, and there were about 2,000 soldiers and horses crossing the river. They are all smashed by the enemy cavalry..."

"Okay!" Liu Yefei was waiting for such news, clapping his hands on his thighs and shouting hello. When Liu Yefei came to his senses, not to mention the surprised faces of the scouts kneeling in front of the hall, the officials on the left and right were also shocked and suspicious: It was obvious that some of their Dengzhou town army was defeated by the thieves, why did Mr. Liu shout so loudly?

Liu Yefei coughed lightly twice, hiding the panic in his eyes, and kept thinking in his heart: At this time, you can't panic, you can't mess up, you can't show your feet... Smoothing the wrinkles on the official robe before his knees, he continued, " This official is worried that the enemy army will not come out in Linzi City, haha, look at the generals, General Zhao has already led a snake in Changyi today, and a great victory is just around the corner..."

Except for a few confidants~www.wuxiaspot.com~, the other officials didn't even think about what Liu Yefei was hiding behind his commotion.

Liu Yefei regained his strength and continued to ask the scouts, "Does General Zhao have any idea to transfer all the troops and horses across the river? The first battle suffered a small setback, but it's not a big problem..."

"When the little one came over, General Zhao just ordered the army to withdraw to Pingdu, but the enemy had a light cavalry around Baibu and crossed the Jiaolai River to attack Dengzhou. General Zhao asked Mr. Liu to prepare early, this cavalry Maybe I can reach Dengzhou City in another day..." The **** scout replied.

Liu Yefei and a few confidants who knew the inside story were ecstatic. When the other officials heard that a cavalry from the enemy came to Dengzhou by surprise, they suddenly panicked and panicked, not knowing what to do.

There were two or three officials who were disrespectful and crossed Liu Yefei and asked the scouts in unison: "How many soldiers and horses are there on the enemy's horse?"

"About 2,000 people, all of them one person and two horses, marching fast..." the scout replied.

Liu Yefei hid the ecstasy in his heart, and reprimanded the crowd, saying, "Why are you panicking, but two thousand cavalry have come here, and there are no siege equipment, we won't be able to defend the city if we beat them outside the city?"

Liu Zhiyong took the opportunity to echo in the hall: "The strength of the swordfish village is lacking, and the government must send troops to strengthen the defense of the swordfish village. Don't let the enemy soldiers take the opportunity to seize the swordfish village..."

"That's right," Liu Yefei sang along and said, "Quickly ask Liu Fang to order a battalion of infantry armors, and Zhiyong, you will come on my behalf to strengthen the defense of Swordfish Village until the enemy division arrives..."

Before Liu Zhiyong could call for the order, another yamen led people to run in and said, "The special envoy of Jiangning has just arrived at Daoyu Village, and he said that there is a secret order to show to the palace and the generals of the Dengzhou navy..."

Liu Yefei was struck by thunder: How did you expect that when the big event was about to happen, Jiang Ning would send a special envoy to come? My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
