Hundreds of households in Liaodong, covering the light with one hand

Chapter 400: Surround and kill Wang Qi and gain unparalleled merit!

The land of Chuzhou has always been a battleground for military strategists.

Xiong Tingbi naturally knows this truth.

At present, there are not many defenders in Chuzhou Prefecture. There are more than 5,000 elite soldiers. Xiong Tingbi broke into the city from the north gate with almost no effort. It only took half an hour to attack the city from the north gate.

"After entering the city, we made a three-part agreement! First: Open the grain storehouse and the bank storehouse. In addition to taking ten taels of silver per person, it will be used as payment, and all of it will be distributed to the people's homes. If anyone dares to take the opportunity to rob the people at this time, Xiong will be killed immediately. Of!"

"Second: step up the production of siege equipment! Attack Nanjing City in three days!"

"Third: Build the city wall so that Chuzhou City is completely in the hands of the Liaodong Army!"

Xiong Tingbi's three-part agreement finally made the people of Chuzhou Mansion feel a little more at ease after experiencing the initial panic.

Thieves have always been like a comb, and soldiers have been like a grate. Without restraint, the stray soldiers are even more harmful to the people than the gangsters.

The most important thing is that the Liaodong army representing the parliament really distributed money to the people!

Although it is not much, the four or five taels of silver given to each person is enough to make the people grateful.

In fact, many people took advantage of the darkness and poured into the military camp stationed in Liaodong, hoping to take the opportunity to join the army - after all, Wang Qi's reputation was much better than that of Zhu Youjian, the fake emperor in Nanjing today.

While Chuzhou Mansion is in chaos, the outside world is quietly gathering momentum surrounding Chuzhou Mansion.

Zhu Youjian was too eager to kill Wang Qi. When he heard that Wang Qi might go to Chuzhou in person, he immediately issued an order for the surrounding Nanjing City troops to rush to Chuzhou collectively to encircle Wang Qi!

And the three chapters of Chuzhou Prefecture's covenant made the new court in Nanjing even more frightened when they heard it!

Is Wang Qi going to be stationed in Chuzhou Prefecture?

In addition to Xiong Tingbi as the vanguard, more than 10,000 adults led by Qin Erbao and Lu Xiangsheng were also on their way to Chuzhou Mansion.

In this case, everyone knew that a battle with corpses blocking the river was about to begin.

At this moment, Xiang Quanzhong, who was far away at Zhenjiangkou, was already in a state of confusion.

"Lead the troops to Chuzhou Prefecture and annihilate Wang Qi here?"

Holding the imperial edict in his hand, Xiang Quanzhong raised his eyes and looked at Wang Chengen who had come to announce the edict. The anger in his eyes almost overflowed: "My lord, your Majesty, do you know that so far, in ten days, there are only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses at Zhenjiangkou? , is far from the planned number of people, now rush to Chuzhou Prefecture. If you meet Wang Qi, what is the difference between that and death? "

It's simply a horror of slipping the world!

Why is the emperor talking like a shrew in the streets, turning things around and changing things at will?

"Your Excellency, the Emperor did not expect that Wang Qi would arrive in Suzhou Mansion in person. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If Wang Qi can be surrounded in Chuzhou Mansion, the situation will be determined!" Wang Chengen fully adheres to Zhu Youjian's advice. The eunuch came to read the imperial edict, and in the heart of the great eunuch, Zhu Youjian, as the emperor, could not make any mistakes.

How could the emperor make a mistake?

After years of serving His Highness King Xin, now the emperor, Wang Chengen has long formed an iron rule in his heart: the ministers are the ones who make mistakes, and the emperor cannot make mistakes!

"Who said Wang Qi was in Chuzhou Prefecture?" Xiang Quanzhong frowned, obviously not believing it.

Wang Qi is not stupid!

How could it be possible to risk one's life and enter a deadlock, allowing the city of Nanjing to encircle and annihilate it?

"What is certain is that Wang Qi has gone south." Wang Chengen, as a special messenger from the Tian family and an angel of the decree, spoke with confidence, as if he had seen Wang Qi enter Chuzhou with his own eyes: "If Wang Qi had not entered Chuzhou, then 20,000 How could Yu Liaodong's soldiers and horses go south to Chuzhou and make a move to attack Nanjing City?"

hiss.

After hearing Wang Chengen's words, Xiang Quanzhong touched his chin: That's a good thing.

With Wang Qi here, more than 20,000 soldiers and horses dared to go south so unscrupulously across several provinces.

If not, wouldn’t he be here to die?

"Master Xiang, time waits for us!" Wang Chengen folded his hands and sleeves and looked at the haggard new Minister of War who was already working hard in front of him: "If you don't send troops at this time, wait for Wu Xiang and others to capture Wang Qi. Aren't you doing it for others? Making a wedding dress? Although the skill of following the dragon is rare, it is Wang Qi!"

Wang Chengen's words were like a devil's whisper, making Xiang Quanzhong, who was still hesitant at first, immediately pay attention!

"Not bad!" With a bang, Xiang Quanzhong punched the table, causing the tea cup to jump up suddenly: "Time waits for no one! Even if Wang Qi comes in person, there are only 20,000 people, what is there to be afraid of? I have more than 100,000 soldiers and horses against more than 20,000 people. , the advantage is mine!”

"The emperor also said so." Wang Chengen chuckled: "Then, please, sir!"

"Come here, pass on my military order. All battalion officers and guard level 1 come to my mansion to listen to the order!"

After Xiang Quanzhong gave his words, he raised his hands to Wang Chengen and said, "Please go back and tell the emperor that I, Xiang Quanzhong, will definitely take off Wang Qi's head when I go to show my kindness to the emperor and his ministers!"

"We will definitely bring this to our family," Wang Chengen returned the gift with a cupped hand: "We here also wish you success!"

"Easy to say, easy to say!" He waved his hand to Quanzhong, and his subordinates paid Wang Chengen.

"Hey, why are you so embarrassed, hehehe," Wang Chengen grinned, spread his sleeves, and accepted the bag of red rewards without leaving a trace, his expression was so humble.

Xiang Quanzhong from Zhenjiangkou has made up his mind to set out to encircle Chuzhou Prefecture.

But at this moment, Wu Xiang of Fengyang Mansion was already caught in a conflict.

"How is this going?"

Wu Xiang, who was already ready for a decisive battle with Wang Qi under Fengyang City, looked at the secret message sent by his subordinates and the secret decree from Nanjing City rushing past on the table.

"Who can tell me what is going on?" Wu Xiang was confused.

What exactly does Wang Qi want to do?

If you leave Fengyang Mansion alone, why go to Chuzhou?

Isn't that the place where one throws oneself into a trap and is surrounded and annihilated?

Wu Xiang didn't believe that Wang Qi really rushed to attack Nanjing City. After all, there were only 20,000 people, so why should he take the lead?

"Father!"

While Wu Xiang was thinking hard, Wu Sangui stepped in wearing armor outside the door.

"If you don't go to the city for inspection, what will you do when you come back?" Wu Xiang has always strictly controlled his son.

Although Wu Sangui showed extraordinary combat talent and decisive ability in the battle at Huoshaodian - Wu Xiang felt that Wu Sangui still lacked training in actual combat, and this battle was the time to shine!

"Father, are you troubled by the war in Chuzhou Prefecture?" Wu Sangui has obviously received the news. Wang Qi's more than 20,000 soldiers and horses have all headed towards Chuzhou.

"Uncle Zhang, what do you think?"

Wu Xiang touched his beard and looked up at his son with a scrutinizing gaze.

"I think Wang Qi must be in Chuzhou!" Wu Sangui said firmly, his eyes bright.

"Are you referring to Wang Qi alone?" Wu Xiang asked back.

"Father, Wang Qi alone is worth thousands of troops. No matter what Qin Erbao and Lu Xiangsheng want to do, or whether Xiong Tingbi wants to capture Nanjing City, for us, capturing Wang Qi is the most important thing. The most important thing!" Wu Sangui's target has always been Wang Qi.

Catch the thief first to catch the king.

Wu Sangui is well aware of this truth.

"But, abandoning the defense of Fengyang Mansion like this?" Wu Xiang shook his head: "My command is to defend Fengyang Mansion, not to relieve the siege of Chuzhou Mansion, nor to capture Wang Qi."

"Father, do you think Xiang Quanzhong will give up this opportunity?" Wu Sangui asked, which was Wu Xiang's Achilles' heel.

Xiang Quanzhong is Wu Xiang's mortal enemy. The two were colleagues since Liaodong, but they opposed Wu Xiang in everything. When they were in Liaodong, they used troops on the flanks. They deliberately delayed the march, which caused Wu Xiang's reinforcements to fall short. The battle was anxious and more than half of the troops were lost.

That time, Wu Xiang was almost beheaded because of the unfavorable outcome of the war! ! !

From then on, the two of them were almost inseparable.

Now that the new dynasty has just been established, Xiang Quanzhong has already stood at the head of Wu Xiang because of his support from Long. Now speaking of it, if we can seize the opportunity and capture Wang Qi - who can take back the merit of his support? Will you see it?

crunch

Wu Xiang clenched his fists loudly.

"Father, it's not too late!" Wu Sangui took a step forward, his tone urgent.

"Summon Zuo Liangyu and others into the palace." Wu Sangui raised his eyes with murderous intent in his eyes, obviously having made up his mind.

As soon as Wu Xiang finished speaking, several angry voices came from outside the hall.

"The general is here!"

Zuo Liangyu, Huang Keli, Wang Yuanqi and others were all there.

"As long as you give the order, I will pursue you to the death!"

Wu Sangui was standing in the center of the hall, leading a few people to bow to Wu Xiang: "Father, we are united and we can do this without further delay!"

Seeing this, Wu Xiang stood up slowly: "Have you all decided?"

"If we can surround and kill Wang Qi, we will have eternal wealth at our fingertips!"

"How can a mere Fengyang Mansion be what a man wants? If we can kill Wang Qi and help the Emperor Ming, that is our ambition!"

"I am willing to follow you to Chuzhou and kill Wang Qi!"

"it is good!!!"

Deep in Wu Xiang's heart, the bloody aura was finally aroused.

Yes, Wang Qi is the key to the entire Ming Dynasty and the entire Jiuzhou Wanfang. He is the core factor in the current disunity between the north and the south. As long as Wang Qi is killed! All problems are solved!

In other words, whoever kills Wang Qi will be the official who will reinvent the Ming Dynasty!

Eternity of glory and glory are all, and the rest of the country is over. When the emperor sees you in the future, he will call you a benefactor!

"I'll wait here." Wu Xiang pulled out the royal sword on the table: "Go south to Chuzhou, surround and kill Wang Qi, and seize this immortal merit!"

Countless people had sleepless nights because of Wang Qi. When the clouds moved in all directions, the real owner was already in Chuzhou Mansion, cooking hot pot and eating mutton.

Chuzhou Prefecture, Nanxunfang, Shunlai Restaurant.

Wang Qi happened to settle in the city today.

"Sir, this is the famous mutton pot in Chuzhou Prefecture. You are in for a treat!" The shopkeeper ran diligently back and forth to serve Wang Qi a wine pot.

"Boss, I heard that the Liaodong Army from the north has arrived. Why is your restaurant still open as usual?" Wang Qi picked up the wine glass, handed it to the shopkeeper, and said with a smile: "Sit down and chat!"

Shopkeeper Liu has been in Chuzhou City for more than 40 years and has seen everyone. The first time he saw Wang Qi today, he felt that he was extremely rich and unfathomable, so he served him diligently. Now that he is being held back by Wang Qi, he doesn't care. I was so relieved that I could only sit aside and said, "This man is new here and doesn't know anything."

"Want to hear the details," Wang Qi poured out the wine and drank it all.

"The soldiers in Chuzhou Prefecture must fight for it, but now that Xiong Tingbi has led his troops to occupy it, it is obvious that he will not stay for a long time. As far as I know, he is stepping up the construction of siege equipment these days and is going to Nanjing City." Shopkeeper Liu said as he turned to observe Sifang: "Moreover, I see that the armies in the north are more disciplined than the new imperial court in Nanjing City. They have no offense to the common people, and they even give out money!"

"Haha," Wang Qi smiled and said again, "I heard that Wang Qi is coming?"

"Wang Qi?" Shopkeeper Liu's face was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then suddenly turned pale, and said sternly: "You are so bold! Can you call the Duke's name casually? I think you are extraordinary, that's why you are here. Wait for me, but if you are disrespectful to Duke Qi, don’t blame me for turning against you!"

"You are very familiar with Duke Qi?" Wang Qi poured him wine again.

"Well, I'm not familiar with it," Shopkeeper Liu shook his head: "I'm not familiar with it."

"Then how can you speak to him like this?" Wang Qi was a little confused.

"Qi Guogong is here from the gods." Shopkeeper Liu spoke, obviously nervous.

"God?" Wang Qi's voice rose a little higher.

"Do you think this Chuzhou War," shopkeeper Liu half-lying on the table, whispered, "20,000 people versus 110,000 people, is it true?"

"What do you think?" Wang Qi asked back.

"Throwing beans makes an army!" Shopkeeper Liu made a bang, slapped his hand on the table, and said excitedly: "The Duke of Qi is a man among the gods. How can he be so brave? He attacked the slaves in the north and the false emperor in the south. Because of the magical means!"

Wang Qi looked at Shopkeeper Liu who was convinced, and his eyes narrowed subconsciously: "Who said this?"

"Um" Shopkeeper Liu seemed to feel Wang Qi's oppression. He hesitated and said slowly: "In the same way, there is an old Taoist named Li Yangshan. These days, he is mostly in Chuzhou City, preaching the immortal theory of Qi Guogong."

"Li Yangshan," Wang Qi grinned.

We haven’t seen each other for a long time, but our fate has not diminished. This old Taoist followed him to Chuzhou Mansion?

"Thank you, shopkeeper, please do as you please," Wang Qi made a gesture of invitation.

"Please use it slowly." Shopkeeper Liu smiled apologetically, then bowed and walked away.

"Sir, do you want to go find Li Yangshan?" He stepped forward and asked in a low voice.

"No need, we will see each other if we are destined," Wang Qi waved his hand and was minding his own business eating hotpot and mutton.

When he first met Li Yangshan in Beijing, the old Taoist was just a bull nose who went around eating and drinking. Now that Wang Qi has become more powerful, he has also begun to take action in the southern provinces.

"This person is quite interesting."

Not long after, Wang Qi finished eating the hot pot and wiped his hands with the white cloth on the side.

Da da da.

The guard outside the door entered the room and bowed to deliver a letter: "Your Excellency, Xiang Quanzhong has led more than ten thousand soldiers and horses from the Yangtze River waterway directly to Chuzhou Prefecture. On the other hand, Wu Xiang of Fengyang Prefecture has led nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses. A hundred thousand troops also marched south, heading straight for Chuzhou!"

"It doesn't matter," Wang Qi still wiped his palms: "It doesn't matter who comes first, I'm just afraid they won't come!"
