Governor please stay

Chapter 198

Xingyang was built in the Spring and Autumn Period, and it was famous for the Suo family, a survivor of the Yin and Shang Dynasties. Therefore, the river flowing south of Xingyang was named Suo River, and the city of Xingyang was originally called Dasuo City.

During the Western Jin Dynasty, Xingyang City, also known as Dasuo City, was destroyed by war.Zhang Zhuo and Dong Mai, who were born in rich local families, encountered famine and war, so they gathered refugees and built a Wubao in the southwest of the Suo River that passed through the old Xingyang City, named Dazhawu, and later renamed Dazha City.

In the eighth year of Taiping Zhenjun, Cui Bai, the governor of Yuzhou, moved to the state from Hulao to rule here, and then expanded to the east.After Emperor Xiaowen moved to the south, Xingyang City, which was expanded based on Dazha City, became a county government, while Dasuo City was abandoned, and some poor homeless people gathered here to live a difficult life.

Before Liu Yishou came from the north, he directly entered the main city without crossing the Suo River in the east of Xingyang City.And the abandoned Dasuo City did not attract his attention at that time.

It's just that Liu Yishou doesn't pay attention, it doesn't mean that Fei Mu doesn't pay attention, and it doesn't mean that Chen Qingzhi doesn't pay attention.

Under the city of Xingyang, flags were flying, and the siege equipment was ready.Chen Qingzhi is not fighting alone. Behind him is a considerable number of Wei Jun. Well, the "New Wei Jun" belonging to Yuan Hao is providing supplies, food, grass and various equipment for Chen Qingzhi's Liang Jun.

He also undertook auxiliary tasks such as cleaning chores, occupying cities, and protecting grain roads.In this way, Chen Qingzhi can throw off his arms to deal with the hard bones that need to be gnawed.

Along the way, in fact, the most difficult battle was at the very beginning.After taking Suiyang City and obtaining a large amount of supplies from the Wei army, Chen Qing's road ahead will be much easier.

"Captain, the scouts are here to report that the chief general of the Wei Army, Fei Mu, is also hoarding heavy troops in the abandoned Dasuo City. The two cities are horns of each other, facing each other across the river."

Yang Zhong bowed his hands to Chen Qingzhi, frowning, feeling a little complicated in his heart.

He is a so-called "northern man", but in fact he doesn't have much sense of belonging to Liang Guo.And now there is civil strife in the Northern Wei Dynasty. Yuan Ziyou and Yuan Hao of the Yuan family are actually puppets.

This Northern Expedition can be said to be related to these two people, or it can be said to have nothing to do with these two people.Yang Zhong felt that his position seemed to be... everything is fine, there is no such thing as loyalty and betrayal.

Being able to show one's own strength and exercise one's ability in this war is the most important thing, other Yang Zhong doesn't think otherwise.

"What do you think we should do when we attack the city? Fei Mu is still a little level."

Chen Qingzhi looked at the tall Xingyang City calmly, and said thoughtfully, as if talking to himself.

"I heard that Fei Mu assembled a lot of defeated troops in order to defend Xingyang. Their personnel were not subordinate to each other, and they must not be able to adapt to the rhythm of our army in the first battle. The last general suggested that instead of dividing the troops, concentrate all forces to attack Xingyang City."

On the surface, Yang Zhong's words seemed to say nothing, but there was another deep meaning inside.He was implying that they should not divide their forces to attack the defeated city of Dasuo, that might be a trap.

When attacking Suiyang last time, Chen Qingzhi first attacked from the surrounding fortresses. Fei Mu, a veteran in the field, definitely wouldn't be so incompetent as to repeat the big mistakes others made.

"What if when we attack Xingyang, the Wei army in Dasuo City attacks the rear of our army?"

Chen Qingzhi asked calmly.

"In the previous battles, the Wei army should have known that we are not afraid of any enemy when fighting in the wild. If we can lure the Wei army out of Dasuo City, it will be easier to deal with. But the general thought that they would not be fooled. "

Yang Zhong expressed his opinion respectfully.

Chen Qingzhi nodded slightly and said: "This time we are attacking Xingyang, you are the vanguard, go."

"The last general takes orders!"

Yang Zhong said solemnly, clasped his fists with both hands, lowered his head and said nothing.

……

Liang Jun began to attack the city. Fei Mu, who was wearing the military uniform of ordinary soldiers and had gray hair and beard, looked down silently at Liang Jun making preparations for the attack, with a stern expression on his face.

His original plan was to lure Liang Jun to attack the low-walled Dasuo City, and try to let Chen Qingzhi divide his troops.The victory or defeat of this battle depends only on the time Liang Jun spent under the city of Xingyang.

Fei Mu never expected to completely bury Liang Jun with a "small" city of Xingyang.All he has to do is procrastinate.As long as the time is delayed, it will create opportunities for the imperial court to encircle and wipe out this army.

Fei Mu knew Er Zhurong very well, no matter what, he would come to Xingyang in the end.If Liang Jun captures Xingyang, and if Yuan Ziyou withdraws from Luoyang, the political blow will be devastating.

Even the loyalty of those people in Hebei has a big question mark.

Fei Mu felt that Er Zhurong probably didn't trust Yuan Ziyou enough to retreat to Jinyang, and then they, the unlucky monarch and minister, would discuss how to "restore the country".

"Fei Dudu, the Liang army has begun to attack the city!"

The lieutenant whispered in Fei Mu's ear.In fact, he didn't need to say it, Fei Mu had already seen Liang Jun's siege vehicles coming up.He said to the lieutenant general: "Send someone to inform Fei Qingyuan (Fei Mu's eldest son) in Dasuo City that those who come out of the city to rescue Xingyang City will be killed without mercy. You can kill first and then play."

After the deputy general left, Fei Mu shouted, "Where are the guards?" Hearing the shout, several guards immediately gathered to obey orders.

"Call for those who dare to die, and follow me to kill the enemy."

Fei Mu said forcefully.

Fei Mu suggested that Er Zhurong massacre all officials in Luoyang, which is indeed unethical.However, this does not deny that this person was an excellent general in the Northern Wei Dynasty, especially he was very good at defending the city.At the time of the Six Towns Rebellion, the Imperial Imperial Army was defeated by the rebels. At that time, all the prefectures and towns on the northern border fell to the rebels. Only Fei Mu defended one city, and resisted the rebels on all sides.

Although Yuan Ziyou has a lot of problems, but appointing Fei Mu to guard Xingyang can be regarded as a good person.

The so-called know yourself, know your enemy, and win a hundred battles. After inquiring about the details of the "white-robed army" under Chen Qingzhi's command, Fei Mu believed that the ordinary Wei army might not be the enemy of the opponent.In this way, even 10 people cannot defend Xingyang.

Why do you say that?Because of the same strength, it is much better to be used as a "spear" than a "shield"!If you want to defend against Chen Qingzhi's Liang army, you must have a hundred thousand Wei troops of the same strength.

But the problem is, if there are these [-] tigers, I'm afraid they can go to Liang Guojiankang to talk to Mr. Xiao about his life, why bother squatting in Xingyang to defend?

So in the past one or two months, Fei Mu selected the so-called "athletes" who were brave and capable of fighting from the large number of Wei troops, and gave them the best food, the best weapons, and even found many women for them. The best of these guys enjoy.

Fei Mu had only one request. These people must rush to defend the gap when Chen Qingzhi's white-robed army is attacking the city.

As long as one person escapes, the whole team will be beheaded!

Since these people are given the best treatment, they will also implement the strictest discipline. Benefits and obligations have always been directly proportional.Fei Mu felt that this way of playing was fair.

Although there were only 1000 of these people, Fei Mu felt that they should be stronger than Chen Qingzhi's white-robed army.

Full of confidence, Fei Mu came near the tower where the white-robed army was besieging the city. As soon as he stood still, he saw an unbelievable scene!Those Liang troops in the iconic white robes had already attacked the top of the city, and the Wei army who defended the city was retreating steadily, and they were about to break the city!

No, it's true or false!
Fei Mu's eyes were almost blinded, but the fact was before him that there were more and more Liang Jun on the city wall.

"Everyone, recharge your energy for a few months, only today. If the city breaks down, I will kill you all before Liang Jun kills you! Follow me to kill the enemy!"

The chief general shouldn't be on the front line when fighting, but now Fei Mu doesn't care about it at all!
He rushed to the front, and there was a burly man in the enemy army, holding a rifle.The so-called rifle is actually an infantry spear of a specific length.

According to the "Shiming" in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the spear is eight feet long and it is called 矟 (a variant of 槊).Converted into the measurement unit of later generations, it is about 1.8 meters. "Zou Ji satirizes the king of Qi accepting remonstrance", it says: "Zou Ji has more than eight feet to repair." It is about the same height as Bulong.

This is not the longest spear, but it is very suitable for use on the city wall in siege battles. It will not be inconvenient to turn around because of its too long length, and it can cover the assault of sword and shield soldiers.

Fei Mu asked the "Jianer" beside him to borrow a shield, and rushed up as fast as he could, trying to use his speed to knock the man off the city wall.Unexpectedly, the man who looked like the leader of Liang Jun's siege seemed to have spotted him.

This man walked like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter, the head of the lance shook back and forth, taking advantage of Fei Mu's unpreparedness, he stabbed forward fiercely, piercing the thin layer of leather armor on Fei Mu's shoulder (because he didn't have any) Wearing iron armor, afraid of being targeted by the opponent's sharpshooter).

Fei Mu staggered and nearly fell down, bleeding profusely. The man pulled out his rifle, sneered, and continued to rush towards this side!Fei Mu was so frightened that his ghosts froze, but he saw the group of "death squads" behind him, rushing forward with all their might, and slashed at Liang Jun when they saw him. stalemate.

I don't know whether it was Fei Mu's presence on the front line that boosted morale, or the brave fighters he selected were really good. In short, this wave of Liang Jun's offensive was surging, but at the end they heard the sound of Ming Jin. As the tide receded, there were corpses everywhere on the city wall, a few belonged to Liang Jun, and most of them belonged to Wei Jun.

A siege battle ended like this. Fei Mu, who could barely stop the bleeding on his shoulder, looked pale and saw the mess in front of him. Only then did he realize that Yang Chun and others were not vulnerable.

But the white-robed army under the city of Xingyang was a little too fierce.If I hadn't planned ahead and selected the best of the best to use at critical moments, I don't know if I can hold the city today!

"Help me to the signing room. No one should spread the word about my injury. Anyone in the army who talks about it will be executed."

Fei Mu waved to the soldiers around him weakly and said.

……

The battle report from Jinan County was sent to Li Yuanzhong in Linji City.Li Yuanzhong called Feng Longzhi, Chen Yuankang and others, read the letter again and again, then asked Cui Xian who delivered the letter, and finally went to the cell to see that it was a genuine replacement, and he had become a lunatic, shouting all day long "It's not my fault", Xing Gao believed that Liu Yishou actually killed the main force of Xing Gao's army relying on his own strength.

After confirming this, their first reaction was: This is impossible!

That's right, Liu Yishou did hit Xing Gao in the "Yin-Yang Canal" between Jishui and the Yellow River before. This incident was a bit accidental and also a bit of luck.

After that, they fought a beautiful ambush and counterattack in Pingyin. In order to stop the loss, Xing Gao retreated to Gaotang in defeat.This can also be explained that Xing Gao didn't know the strength of Liu Yishou and his subordinates, so he underestimated the enemy.

But this last time, Xing Gao personally led the army to attack Juhe City in Jinan County, and he was very cautious in using troops.To be honest, Liu Yishou really has nothing to do with Xing Gao if he fights one-on-one.

Being able to drag the opponent to Jinan County is already the best result. No one, including Chen Yuankang, thought that Liu Yishou would rely on his own strength to solve Xing Gao alone.But the other party is like this, he just did it, you don't have to believe it, but you can't deny this fact.

"You can say that this is Xing Gao, he can be regarded as a hero. Before the imperial court sent troops to calm down, they lost troops and lost generals. But this time, a mountain torrent buried Xing Gao's army. Can you believe it?"

Feng Longzhi's whole person is a bit bad. He also saw that Liu Yishou had some abilities before, but it doesn't mean that even God is covering him, right?This is a bit unreasonable.

"Before Cui Xian left, he told me in private that Liu Yishou sent people to build a dam on the upper reaches of the Wuyuan River. When it rained heavily, the dam would be opened to release water and cause mountain torrents. The high slope where the main force of Xing Gao's army is located is prone to landslides. Location. If you want to call it a coincidence, it really is a coincidence.

But, do you believe that there are so many coincidences in the world? "

Chen Yuankang asked indifferently, playing with a jade pendant in his hand.

Li Yuanzhong and Feng Longzhi fell silent. As Chen Yuankang said, there are so many coincidences in the world. Coincidences are all superficial, and the real thing is to fight wits and courage in private.

"And Liu Yishou posed a big problem for us. Now that Xing Gao is in our hands, I believe that with Liu Yishou's wisdom, this matter must have been publicized to the world.

What should we do next?Go to Gwangju, or wait for news from Xingyang? "

Chen Yuankang was mocking, Li Yuanzhong and Feng Longzhi both looked ashamed and did not dare to look at him.

"No matter how you say it, Yuan Ziyou is also the emperor of the Wei Kingdom. Before, we could say that Xing Gao's army was powerful, and it was too dangerous for a lonely army to go deep. He needed to be fully prepared, and he could stand still.

But now, Xing Gao is gone, and Gwangju is a land without an owner. If we don't do it, someone will do it. This matter cannot be delayed. "

Li Yuanzhong said in a deep voice, the moment he saw Xing Gao, he knew that their previous plan was completely useless.Even Xing Gao is crazy, the Hebei family must have chess pieces if they want to place a bet!

Chen Yuankang threw the jade pendant in his hand to Li Yuanzhong, stood up and stretched.

"You two, as long as Xing Gao is pushed out in Beihai and other places in Guangzhou, it shouldn't take much effort. I don't need me here, and I'm leaving too. If I were in the army, some people in Hebei would probably Hate me to death, after all Xing Gao belongs to them.

I will not get involved in such offending things. "

Chen Yuankang yawned and said, the young and beautiful widow I found in the city last night was really fierce, and he still suffers from back pain.

"Then where are you going?" Li Yuanzhong asked.

"Of course, go where the excitement is. The chaos in the Wei Kingdom is far from over, and I want to have some fun."

Chen Yuankang saluted the two of them, and walked out of the courtyard without looking back.
