Chapter 2527: Xue Rengui defeated Deng Yu, Sun Ce fought fiercely without support

The official war between Chu and Wu was naturally related to the war in Jingbei.

However, he said that after Guan Zhong abducted and deceived Wei and Wu and asked both Wei and Wu to send troops to help Qin, Song also joined in uninvited.

[-] Qin troops, [-] Song troops, [-] Wei troops, a total of [-] coalition troops from the Three Kingdoms, jointly stationed in Zhangling County
Liu Xiu was unwilling to go to war with Wei and Song, which benefited the fishermen of Qin, so he stopped the offensive of Wei Zhang's troops, but still faced off against the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms.

At the same time, Xue Rengui and Guan Zhong each led an army of [-] troops, totaling [-] troops, to face Deng Yu's [-] Chu troops.

Deng Yu saw that Xue Rengui had such a small number of troops that he dared to split up to fight, so he thought of defeating them one by one, but he didn't think that this was Guan Zhong's plan.

Guan Zhong wanted Deng Yu to concentrate his forces, but when the [-]-strong Chu army arrived in Yicheng, he found that he had to face not only Xue Rengui, but also Guan Zhong's troops.

Xue Rengui and Guan Zhong's [-]-strong army surrounded Deng Yu's army in a trend of attacking from east to west.

In this regard, although Deng Yu was a little frightened, he still did not panic. After all, his troops were nearly twice that of the Qin army. Even if he was in a double-team situation, he could still win, but the casualties might be greater.

Deng Yu personally took command of the generals and ordered Li Mi to take charge of the right wing and Song Que to take charge of the left wing, and then he led [-] Chu troops and [-] Qin troops to start a decisive battle in the boundary of Yicheng.

The two armies fought fiercely for two days and two nights, but it was still difficult to tell the winner.

On the third day, Deng Yu couldn't stand it any longer. He guessed that Xue Rengui wanted to bring down the Chu army, so he moved in full force, preparing to defeat the Qin army in one fell swoop.

Deng Yu's decision was opposed by Song Que.

Song Que felt that Deng Yu should be more patient. It has only been two days since the war started, and the situation between the enemy and ourselves is not completely clear. It is not a wise move to go all out at this time.

Song Que opposed it, but Li Mi supported it. During the two-day high-intensity battle, Li Mi didn't think Xue Rengui had any trump cards, so he supported Deng Yu.

After thinking for a while, Deng Yu finally decided to launch a decisive battle. He didn't want the entire army to be dispatched, and an enemy army appeared in the rear.

It turned out that before Xue Rengui entered Yicheng, Yang Zaixing had already arrived ahead of schedule with [-] Qin troops and hid in the eastern mountainous area, all he wanted to do was wait for a fighter plane.

After learning that Deng Yu was dispatched in full force, Yang Zaixing no longer needed to hide, and directly led his army to appear in the rear equal to Deng Yu's army, and raided behind it.

It was only now that Deng Yu realized that he had been led by Guan Zhong all the time, but it was too late, and now he had nowhere to go except to fight recklessly.

Xue Rengui and Guan Zhong saw that their cards had been played, so they did not make any reservations. The three armies joined forces and attacked in three directions, east, west, and south, preparing to defeat Deng Yu's army in one fell swoop.

During the melee, Deng Yu's central army was pierced by Xue Rengui and Xue Rengui, who was among the ten thousand troops, shot and killed Deng Yu, the commander of the Chu army.

Deng Yu's death aggravated the defeat of the Chu army.

Li Mi, the leader of the Left Army, and Song Que, the leader of the Right Army, realized that the situation was over, so they both chose to withdraw their troops tacitly.

Xue Rengui naturally couldn't let them go, commanding [-] Qin troops to pursue them at full speed, and completely defeated the Chu troops in one fell swoop.

Li Mi and Song Que both gathered the defeated army and retreated to Jiangling, but as long as they gathered more than [-] troops, they would be taken care of by Xue Rengui.

On the way to escape, Li Mi's team was chased and killed by the Jingzhou general Wen Pin, and he was executed by Wen Pin within a round of fighting.

As for Song Que's troops, they also failed to escape back to Jiangling, but were caught up by Yang Zaixing, Luo Cheng, and Taishi Ci when they retreated to the Dangyang realm.

Song Que is not only a warrior at the God of War level, but also has the cultivation of a half-step grandmaster. His comprehensive combat power is definitely the top three in Chu.

Song Que fought the three generals by himself, and he refused to surrender to the last soldier. In the end, he died under Yang Zaixing's gun due to exhaustion.

Poor Song Que, talented, both civil and military, and even has the potential to break through the great master, but he finally got the reuse of Liu Xiu, and before he had time to shine, he died in battle under Guan Zhong's calculations.

So far, the Western Route Army, the main general Deng Yu, and the deputy generals Li Mi and Song Que, have all died in the battle.

Xue Rengui fought against the [-]-strong army of Chu with [-] Qin troops, and defeated them head-on after two days of fierce battle.

According to statistics after the war, the Qin army achieved an impressive record of killing [-] enemies, taking [-] prisoners and losing [-].

When the [-] Chu troops came and were defeated by the Qin army, there were only nearly [-] defeated troops left. Under the leadership of Ma Yuan, Cao Can, Zeng Guofan and other generals, they fled back to Jiangling with great difficulty.

After Xue Rengui defeated the Northern Expedition Army of Chu State, he led his army to chase Jiangling City all the way, and he was in a position to retake Jiangling in one fell swoop.

At this moment, Ma Yuan, one of the defenders in the city, pretended to be willing to surrender to Xue Rengui, but he was actually delaying time.

Although Xue Rengui guessed that there was a suspicion of fraudulent surrender, but the army under his command pursued for three days in succession, and he was already exhausted and needed to rest, so he gave Ma Yuan one day.

A day later, Ma Yuan claimed to have persuaded most of the people, but there were still a few guards who were unwilling, hoping that Xue Rengui would give him another three days.

Although Xue Rengui agreed on the surface, he actually gave up hope, and was secretly building siege equipment such as cloud ladders.

Naturally, Xue Rengui would not wait three days honestly. On the second day, he ordered the army to storm Jiangling.

Under the delay of Ma Yuan, the Jiangling defenders were ready to respond, and under the command of Ma Yuan and Zeng Guofan, they carried out the city defense battle in an orderly manner.

Jiangling City was easy to defend and difficult to attack. Xue Rengui attacked for three days and lost nearly [-] soldiers, but failed to shake Jiangling.

"No wonder Yue Fei would hit Jiangling City three times."

Xue Rengui sighed in his heart, and only at this moment did he realize Yue Fei's helplessness.

Jiangling City, which has been expanded many times, is no less defensive than Xiangyang City.

Without the support of the central government and relying only on the local army of Jingzhou, it is hard to imagine the difficulty of capturing a fortified city like Jiangling.

Xue Rengui encountered a setback in attacking Jiangling. In desperation, he could only temporarily withdraw his troops. After preparing to stabilize the rear, he would lead the army to take Jiangling again.

At the same time, Liu Xiu of Jiangxia also received news that the Northern Expedition on the Western Road was defeated by Xue Rengui, and the main general Deng Yu was killed in battle.

"What? Deng Yu, Li Mi, Song Que and all three died in battle? Impossible, this is absolutely impossible."

Liu Xiu looked in disbelief.

Li Mi and Song Que died, Liu Xiu was sad, but not too sad.

But Deng Yu died, and Liu Xiu was extremely saddened.

Deng Yu was not only the chief general of the West Route Army, but also the prime minister of Chu, and the first mastermind of Liu Xiu.

Although Deng Yu's status as the mastermind has been greatly reduced after the addition of Pang Tong, Liu Ba, Liao Li, and the master's father Yan, he is still Liu Xiu's most trusted person, so he will be appointed as the prime minister of Chu. .

Over the years, Liu Xiu and Deng Yu have supported and achieved each other's achievements.

For Liu Xiu, Deng Yu was no longer a courtier, but a brother who shared weal and woe, so the news of Deng Yu's death in battle would naturally be difficult to accept.

Deng Yu's defeat this time lost nearly [-] elite soldiers, which directly caused Chu to lose one-fifth of its elite soldiers.

However, death is a big deal, and with the relationship between Liu Xiu and Deng Yu, it is not easy for all Chu officials to hold Deng Yu accountable.

"My lord, please also condolences. People cannot be resurrected. The most important thing at present is to resist the allied forces of Qin, Wei, Wu and Song countries and protect Jiangxia and Jiangling..."

"Do not."

Before Pang Tong's words were finished, Liu Xiu roared in grief and indignation, then ran out and hid alone, he needed to be quiet.

The next day, Liu Xiu, who had calmed down, took the initiative to show up. At this time, he no longer had the grief of yesterday, but looking at his red eyes, he could see how much Deng Yu's death had hit him.

"There are still [-] defenders in Jiangling City. If our army is based on the city, with the current strength of Xue Li, even if all the troops are dispatched, they can still hold on for two or three months, and this time is enough for Jingnan's reinforcements. to support.

Jiangling's top priority is to choose a suitable defender.

I do not know who you think is suitable for this task? "Liu Xiu asked.

Kuaiyue was the first to stand up and said, "Zeng Guofan used to be the prefect of Wuling, and he is good at defense. He has defeated the Wuling barbarians many times with a small number of troops, and he should be able to defend Jiangling for our country of Chu."

As soon as this statement came out, Pang Tong stood up and objected: "Master Kuai is afraid that he forgot how brave Xue Rengui is, and he may not be able to stop Zeng Guofan's scholar to guard Jiangling.

The lord, Zeng Guofan can be a lieutenant general, but not the main general. "

Hearing Pang Tong's remarks, Liu Xiu asked, "Who does Pang Jun think can be the commander?"

"Ma Yuan." Pang Tong said firmly.

Liao Li hurriedly stood up and said, "No, Ma Yuan is Ma Teng's younger brother. Ma Teng's son Ma Chao has already surrendered to Qin. What if Ma Yuan also surrendered to Qin after taking command of the army?"

"Yes, yes."

Liu Ba and Kuailiang followed suit.

After hearing this, Liu Xiu frowned slightly, and her heart began to tangle.

Pang Tong said: "I think Ma Yuan is a loyal and righteous person, if the lord can trust him, how can Ma Yuan not give up his life in return?

As for Ma Chao, the reckless man who can only show the courage of a man?As everyone knows, the relationship between their uncle and nephew has long since broken down.

When Ma Teng died in battle, Ma Yuan assisted Ma Chao to succeed him. However, after Ma Chao succeeded to the throne, he was suspicious of Yang Guang's countermeasures and even thought of murdering his uncle.

This also made Ma Yuan completely disappointed in Ma Chao, but he was unwilling to kill Ma Chao's uncle and nephew, so he took the initiative to leave and come to Chu.

Therefore, Ma Yuan could never surrender to Qin for Ma Chao's sake.

If the lord really has concerns, he can also send a supervisor to supervise Ma Yuan. "

Hearing this, everyone also reacted, Ma Yuan is indeed unlikely to betray.

Liu Xiu also nodded. He was more inclined to Ma Yuan, and after hearing Pang Tong's words, he no longer had any concerns, and ordered:
"Since this is the case, Ma Yuan is appointed as the prefect of Nanjun, and he is also the governor of Jiangling, and Zeng Guofan is the deputy governor."

After speaking, Liu Xiu looked at the young man at the bottom and said, "Lu Xun, this king has ordered you to be the supervisor."

Lu Xun stood up, clasped his fists and said, "The last commander respects your life."

"The Jiangling issue has been resolved. As for Zhangling County, the armies of Wei and Song will not fight to the death for Qin and our army, so we only need to let Wei Zhang stand firm.

Now for our country of Chu, the only thing to worry about is the Wu army stationed in Lujiang. "Liu Xiu said with a serious face.

Different from the Qin, Wei, Song and Three Kingdoms, once the Wu State and the Chu State go to war with Hu, it will be a national war.

If it was just a one-on-one match against Wu, then Chu would naturally not be afraid.

But now that Chu State had just experienced the fiasco of Yicheng, and was restrained by the Qin, Wei, Song and Three Kingdoms, it was obviously very dangerous to start a war with Wu State, so Liu Xiu couldn't help being careless.

"Report...I report to the lord, the crown prince of Wu State, Sun Ce, who led a waterway army of [-] Wu troops to invade my Lujiang County. The governor of Lujiang, Guo Ziyi, asked for help."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the hall was shocked.

Wu Guoxuan called at this time, and undoubtedly knew the news of the defeat of the Chu army in Yicheng, so he deliberately got stuck in the most difficult time of the Chu State to send troops.

"Misters, Sun Ce is so aggressive this time, how should I, Chu, deal with it?" Liu Xiu asked.

Pang Tong said solemnly: "My lord, this battle can only be outwitted, not a match."

"How to outsmart?"

"The dark child under the cloth can be activated."

Hearing Pang Tong's words, a strange color flashed in Liu Xiu's eyes.

On the other side, Sun Ce, who was stationed in Xiang'an, received the news of Deng Yu's defeat, and immediately led [-] Wu troops to attack Lujiang County, which belongs to Chu, and encountered Guo Ziyi and Wuzhiqi in the first battle;
　Sorry, there was a party last weekend, it was delayed
