History of Yongwu

Chapter 284 Invading Wu Kingdom

Wu Jun Jiangbei Camp

"Prince" Chu Zhang held the battle report and shouted a little brokenly.

"What's the matter?" King Wu was discussing with Peng Ge how to completely defeat the Jin army.

"South··Nanlingdu Falls"

"Falling!" Peng Ge exclaimed, looked at him and asked, "An Ziqi crossed Yingshui? How is it possible? Where did he get the boat?" King Wu also frowned, looking at Chu Zhang in great perplexity.

"Prince" Chu Zhang knelt down, swallowed with difficulty, and said to him, "Jin King's army suddenly appeared in the territory of Wu State, came in from nowhere, and ambushed Nanlingdu from behind."

"what!!"

King Wu's expression changed suddenly, he stood up abruptly, and looked north, his heart beat so fast before.

"Return to the army immediately"

"Yes..." Peng Ge and Chu Zhang's faces sank like water, and they ran out quickly.

"Lord"

Fu Yusi came in from the door, his face was a little pale, which made King Wu's heart ache, and he strode forward to hug him tightly, wrapping him around his chest.

"It's okay, the king is here"

Wu Jun's return to aid was not smooth. Wang Meng, who had been waiting for a long time, finally had an opportunity. Wu Jun's warship was by the river, but this short distance caused Wu Jun to suffer heavy losses.

Zhao Zhiping behind him also took the opportunity to attack, and Wu Jun paid a huge price in Jingzhou again before he was able to leave.

Almost instantly, the news spread all over the world. Everyone knew that King Jin dispatched a surprise army, crossed the Nanying River, and quickly occupied Nanlingdu.

On the second day, Zhou Hong led the army of the king of Jin who stayed in Yingzhou to cross Yingshui and occupy Nanling County completely.

The sudden reversal of the situation greatly encouraged the Jin Wangjun. The Jin Wangjun led by Wang Meng took advantage of Wu Wang's return to the army, crossed the river in one fell swoop, and entered the territory of Wu State.

When Wu State abandoned Yongcheng, and King Wu led his army back to Wu State, Jin Wang’s army had already divided into two groups. One was led by King Jin and An Ziqi from the west, and the other was led by Zhao Zhiping and Wang Meng, and set out from the north to Jianye.

Jin army camp

"Jianping military system," Qin Yu muttered, looked at Li Han and asked, "When was the edict issued?"

"Just when the prince went to Yingzhou, after the imperial city's forbidden army changed, General Yue was pushed out of Beijing, and then there was this Jianping military system," Li Han replied.

“Pretty smart”

Li Han raised his head in surprise, King Jin waved his hand at him, and his eyes narrowed, "I will retire at the end."

Yeah!You are so shrewd that you seem to be able to sit firmly in the world, Qin Yu chuckled, and a voice came from outside the camp.

"Lord"

"Ziqi, come in!"

An Ziqi entered in response, cupped his hands and said, "Mingyue's scouts are back." He waved, and one of them knelt down.

"Lord"

"How about the bright moon"

"The Rebellion of King Duan has expanded. At present, those who are powerful in Mingyue, such as King Cheng and King Yu, have already been involved in the battle. The outcome is unknown."

King Jin nodded, the man backed away, An Ziqi stood beside him and watched King Jin pursed his lips, unable to guess what was going on in his heart.

"Ziqi, contact Wang Meng to speed up the compression of the Wu army."

"My lord?" An Ziqi frowned.

"Mingyue is unpredictable. When the war subsides, it's time to come to us." King Jin said and glanced at him.

"The Last General Takes Order"

An Ziqi withdrew from the big tent, still with a puzzled expression on his face. In his opinion, it seemed impossible for Mingyue to resolve the war so quickly. Why was King Jin so eager? Could it be that he had the heart to devour Mingyue?

The state of Wu is far from being as extensive as the state of Jin. This land is exquisite, rich and poetic.Wang Ji of Wu State, Wu County is not as vast as Jinliang County, but here gathers the most beautiful mountain peaks and the most graceful rivers.

It's just that they are all buried in the flames of war now!

Jianye City can also be regarded as a place where tigers and dragons dominate, with green mountains on the left and rivers on the south. Many people who have been here feel that this place has the air of an emperor.Therefore, such a city is the symbol of Wu State, and the center of Wu State is naturally also the focus of the two armies' contention.

Wu Jun Camp

The pawn who "reported" the order knelt down, cupped his hands and said, "The prince has led the army to Qingshan Town, and stationed outside Qingshan, blocking the way for the Jin army to go south to Jianye."

"En." Fu Yusi nodded, with a rare serious look on her face, she shifted her gaze to Du Xuetang and asked, "How is King Jin?"

"The Jin army is divided into two groups and advances another [-] miles. At present, Zhao Zhiping is stationed in the southeast of our army, and King Jin and An Ziqi are stationed in the west, blocking our army's road to Jianye and preventing our army from joining the prince. "Du Xuetang replied.

"Prince Jin is so ambitious." Fu Yusi sneered.

"That's right" Du Xuetang bowed his head, the king of Jin led his troops into two groups, pressing hard at every step, he had great ambitions to not only swallow Wu's army, but also capture Jianye.

"Military division, according to my opinion, the king of Jin is pressing every step of the way, and the Wu army doesn't have to fight hard."

"You want to delay the king of Jin, buy time for the prince, defeat Wang Meng, and return to Jianye"

Du Xuetang didn't say much, and acquiesced to Fu Yusi's words, Jin Wang's army is now in full swing, the two armies collide, the chances of winning may not be great.

But this is the state of Wu, and the king of Jin is not familiar with the mountains and rivers here. It is still feasible for the Wu army to rely on the terrain and want to tie the Jin army. With the ability of the king of Wu, it is not too difficult to defeat Wang Meng, as long as the king of Jin does not Join the fray.

Fu Yusi pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked, "King Jin is not a fool, how could he fail to see this move?"

"Jin King's army is approaching step by step, once the battle starts, how can it be avoided if you just say avoid it?"

Fu Yusi was slightly startled, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, he looked at him and said, "Xuetang, I found that you have become more and more calm when confronting the enemy with King Jin."

"Thank you military division for your compliment"

Du Xuetang withdrew, with a calm expression, and tried his best to suppress his heart that was pounding because of Fu Yusi's words.

'More calm' he thought carefully, with joy and relief in his heart, but also a lot of fear and uneasiness piled up in his heart.

As Du Xuetang expected, the disadvantage of the Jin army is that they are not familiar with the state of Wu. Fu Yusi's deferment is extremely effective. King Jin's iron cavalry cannot be used here. He often fights with the Wu army in narrow terrain, and the cavalry cannot be used at all.

The battle between King Wu and Wang Meng gradually turned to King Wu's side.

The pace of the Jin army was stopped, and the world felt that the victory and defeat were unknown again. The whole country of Wu felt that the cloud hanging over the sky was finally torn apart, allowing the sun to return to this land.

In March, the spring has already bloomed here, if it used to be, the Yanglan River would have been singing and singing.

Du Xuetang stood by the small river, thinking of the warm wind in Jianye City, he smiled.His strategy succeeded in sticking to the Jin army, which somewhat made him a little proud, but this pride always turned into a special bitterness when recalling the snowstorm in the capital.

"My lord, Jin army sentry cavalry"

Du Xuetang snapped back to his senses, and hurriedly said, "Catch up, intercept!"

More than a dozen sentry riders galloped on their horses, and chased after that Jin army sentry rider. Du Xuetang stood on the spot with his hands behind his back, and was about to get on the horse, when there was a whistling sound in his ear.

call out!A black arrow feather stuck to his feet, Du Xuetang looked startled, turned his head to look, but couldn't find the direction where the arrow feather came from, looked down at his feet, bent down and took off the letter paper stuck on the feather , glanced at it, and frowned.

Da da... The sound of horseshoes came, Du Xuetang came back to his senses, pulled out the arrow feathers, threw them into the river, and looked at the returning soldiers calmly.

"My lord, I didn't catch up with that sentinel"

"It's okay, let's go back to the camp first." Du Xuetang got on his horse and led his people back to the Wu army's camp.

The crescent moon rose to the middle of the sky, Du Xuetang wore a long cloak, bypassed the guards, and left the camp, at the foot of the mountain, beside the dense forest, Du Xuetang saw the reflection of metal light, he hesitated and stepped forward.

"It's you?" Du Xuetang was surprised, feeling a little lost in his heart.

"Mr. Du" Zhao Zhiping took a step forward, took off his bag, and cupped his hands and said, "Don't come here without any problems."

Hehe... Du Xuetang sneered, "Counselor Zhao, have you been asking Du a word of well-being until late at night?"

"Young Master Du, the prince's battle is not good now, I hope you can help me a little bit," Zhao Zhiping said directly without repeating the details.

Du Xuetang looked at him and didn't answer, he felt that this kind of words came from Zhao Zhiping's mouth, it was a shame to Mr. Zhao's talent.

Zhao Zhiping understood his thoughts, and said calmly, "Young Master Du must think I'm crazy."

"Mr. Du's words puzzled him"

"Mr. Du, if you don't want to help, why did you come to see me when you received Jin Wang's letter?"

Du Xuetang's face changed slightly, hiding under the night, Zhao Zhiping deliberately used King Jin's letterhead to invite him to meet him, he didn't want to say more, turned and left.

Zhao Zhiping took another step forward and said to him, "Young Master Du, it was a mistake for you to come here. Even if you escaped the guards, there is no impenetrable wall in the world. The relationship between you and the prince in the past is enough with a little guidance." Make Fu Yusi suspicious and kill you"

"You!" Du Xuetang turned around abruptly, staring at him with a fierce look in his eyes, "Then what are Mr. Zhao waiting for?"

"Waiting for your reply." Zhao Zhiping ignored the coldness in his eyes, and said to himself, "It is an indisputable fact that you are the son of Du Qing, and it is also an indisputable fact that you have served as an attendant in the Prince Jin's mansion for so long, and General Wang sent you to Guanzhong." , but let you leave, it is even more true."

"What do you want to say?" Du Xuetang was short of breath, feeling a little guilty.

"I want to tell you that if Mr. Du can't help, Mr. Zhao has full confidence that Fu Yusi will give up on you, which will also help the Jin army." Zhao Zhiping stared at him, his eyes motionless.

If King Jin hadn't replaced Du Xuetang with some kind of chess cloud, Zhao Zhiping was still not sure how to convince Fu Yusi, but with that move, Fu Yusi would never believe that Du Xuetang and King Jin had any revenge for killing his father, and would only feel that the two were The relationship between people is very close, and all the previous actions will change.

Du Xuetang lowered his head halfway, the expression in his eyes kept changing. After a long time, he suddenly asked in a low voice, "Did Wang... King Jin order this matter?"

Zhao Zhiping raised his eyebrows calmly, looked at him and replied, "My lord, I also hope to triumph soon."

Really!Du Xuetang thought that when he heard the answer, his heart would be turbulent, but in fact he was very calm, as if he knew it a long time ago, and also as if his expectations were shattered.

"I see"

He couldn't refuse, because once the suspicion arises, it will grow bigger and bigger, and many things that seemed normal in the past will appear more and more strange.

Jin army camp

Qin Yu was very irritable. He found that his eagerness might mess up everything, but what made him even more anxious was that he couldn't stop his eagerness.

He already knew the situation on Wang Meng's side, and he wanted to return to help, but Wu Jun clung to him like a dog's skin plaster, and he couldn't get rid of it no matter what.

"Lord"

"What's the matter?" Qin Yu said in a bad tone.

King Jin's tone stunned An Ziqi for a moment, and he cupped his hands and said, "Lord Zhao will lead the army to the northeast, and cooperate with General Wang to pinch King Wu."

"Which way to go?" Seeing him, Qin Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

"West Side Lane"

'West side' Jin Wang muttered, An Ziqi saw him looking at the map for a while, his eyes suddenly changed, and he stood up all of a sudden.

"An Ziqi, follow me to save Zhao Zhiping"

save?An Ziqi was puzzled, but King Jin was so angry that he didn't dare to say anything, and immediately paid the bill.

Wu Jun camp

"Military advisor, Zhao Zhiping is chasing after the prince." Du Xuetang cupped his hands, "It seems that he wants to help Wang Meng."

"Oh?" Fu Yusi raised her head, frowning and asked, "Where are you going?"

"West Side Lane"

Although it is close here, it seems a little dangerous!

Fu Yusi frowned even more tightly, he was not sure whether Zhao Zhiping's move was a trick to lure him into the bait, or he was forced to take risks because of Wu Jun's impatience.

"Do you think this move is a trick of suspicion?" He looked at Du Xuetang.

Du Xuetang stood at the same spot, shifted his eyes to the map, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said carefully, "I'm not sure about the officials."

Fu Yusi's face darkened, and Fu Yusi became a little impatient. The soldiers are very fast, and now they don't have much time to think.

"But" Du Xuetang changed the subject, Fu Yusi looked at him, and he replied, "If this move is the plan of the King of Jin, I am afraid that in order to lure the Wu army into a trap, the King of Jin will pretend not to move, pretending to restrain him from behind."

Fu Yusi immediately understood what he meant, "come here"

"Investigate the movement of King Jin's army, immediately"

The soldiers galloped away, and half an hour later, the sentinel came back on a flying horse, "Report, Jin Wang's army bypassed Quyi to the east, and the whole army marched rapidly."

It wasn't a trick, Fu Yusi stood up abruptly, and shifted his gaze to the map, "Regroup the army immediately and go to Siqiu"

"Yes"

Du Xuetang followed his gaze to look at the map, lowered his eyelids, suppressed the expression in his eyes, exited the big tent, and made preparations.

Wu Jun moved neatly, and soon the whole army was in order. Du Xuetang was riding on the horse, squinting at Fu Yusi's solemn expression, clutching the reins tightly, staring ahead, with a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.
