Merry Xianggong Ximen Qing

"Attacking Gaizhou Prefecture is really not the best strategy." Lin Chong, the leopard head, took over the conversation and gestured on the sand table: "But if you attack Yangcheng and Qinshui counties first, you will have the same concerns, but at least it is better than attacking Gaizhou. The state capital; although it is not the best strategy, the risk is lower, but should we attack Yangcheng first, or Qinshui?"

As soon as Lin Chong said this, all the generals began to think about this issue.

The distance from Yangcheng and Qinshui to Gaoping County is almost the same, and it doesn't matter which county to attack. Qinshui is farther away from Gaizhou Prefecture, and it seems to be a good choice in the northwest of Yangcheng County.

But the key issue is that if you want to attack Yangcheng and Qinshui counties, you cannot leave Lingchuan and Gaoping counties alone. The advantage in strength is not so obvious.

There was a sudden silence in the hall.

Suddenly, a voice rang out.

"Our army is not going to attack Gaizhou, nor Yangcheng and Qinshui counties, but this place."

Ximenqing planted a small red flag on the sand table in an open space [-] miles southwest of Yangcheng County.

When the generals saw Ximen Qing making such a move on the sand table, they were both curious and puzzled.

"There... seems to be nothing there." Thunderbolt Qin Ming frowned, and poked the two small red flags with his thick fingers: "There is only an open space, so what's the benefit of occupying it?"

Ximen Qing smiled and glanced across the faces of the crowd: "Everyone, you said that if you want to take back the entire Gaizhou, what should you do first?"

"Of course it's to grab the head off that fellow Niu Wenzhong!" the red-haired ghost Liu Tang blurted out without thinking.

Ximen Qing continued to ask: "So...how can this be done?"

"Of course it is to defeat the bandits!" Liu Tang stretched out his hand and pinched the small black flag on the Gaizhou Mansion: "According to what I said, the best strategy is to gather all the soldiers and storm the Gaizhou Mansion! Niu Wenzhong Now there are less than 2 people under your command, isn't it easy to capture? Hurry up, and don't worry about reinforcements from Yangcheng and Qinshui, right?"

Liu Tang's statement aroused the approval of Shi Xiu, Zhang Heng and others, but Langli Baitiao Zhang Shun shook his head slowly, apparently disagreeing with Liu Tang's proposal.

"If we can't win, what should we do then?" Ximen Qing asked with a smile: "Whether Niu Wenzhong's remaining two prestige generals attack back and forth or take the opportunity to attack Lingchuan and Gaoping counties, our 9 people will watch Quite a lot, but once it is used, it will be stretched; Gaizhou will be recovered, but don’t forget that the four states occupied by Tian Hu are still waiting to be recovered.”

Da Dao Guan Sheng expressed his opinion as the marshal: "Lord Ximen is right. Right now, he has finally asked for [-] reinforcements from the imperial court. If most of them are consumed in Gaizhou, it will not be so easy to ask for more."

Turning his eyes to the two small red flags of Ximen Qing, Guan Sheng asked again: "Master Ximen, you should stop being a joke and just talk about your thoughts."

"That's right, high-ranking official, tell me and listen." Lu Zhishen stroked his bald head and said, "The Sa family has been thinking about it for a long time, but they haven't figured out what you are doing!"

Ximen Qing smiled slightly: "Actually, it's nothing unusual to say it, but I gave this way a name... called Wai Dian Da Ai."

"Siege to fight for aid?" Big Dao Guan Sheng glanced at the sand table, and immediately understood what Ximen Qing said: "What a good way to surround and fight for aid! Master Ximen has a good plan!"

The sick lieutenant Chi Sunli, the leopard head Lin Chong and others also realized something, and nodded slightly; the thunderbolt Qin Ming also looked at the sand table and fell into contemplation, only the red-haired ghost Liu Tang and the desperate Sanlang Shixiu, who don't like to use their brains, imitate others After working on the sand table for a long time, I didn't see anything why.

"Hi, Dayuan... good!"

The red-haired ghost Liu Tang made a vague sentence, showing that he understood, but was ruthlessly exposed by the desperate Saburo Shi Xiu.

"Brother Liu Tang, if you agree, let me tell you about it. What's so good about it?"

The red-haired ghost Liu Tang coughed: "Is this... I told you that you might not understand..."

Shi Xiu immediately showed a disdainful expression, and stretched out his hand to hit him. Da Dao Guan Sheng saw it and shouted: "Don't talk anymore, let Master Ximen explain to you."

The red-haired ghost Liu Tang shut his mouth immediately, stretched out his hand and gestured at Ximen Qing, and made a gesture of "brother stop making trouble, listen to the adults"; desperately Sanlang Shi Xiucai calmed down and lowered his fist.

"Actually, Brother Liu Tang was right. If you want to regain Gaizhou, you must fight against Niu Wenzhong." Ximen Qing said slowly: "The main purpose of our army's combat is to preserve its strength while constantly weakening the enemy. the power of."

"Under this theme, it is not a good choice to attack Gaizhou, Yangcheng or Qinshui." Ximen Qing continued to analyze: "After all, most of our soldiers have just gone through a round of training. Attacking tough...will definitely cause a lot of damage."

Then Ximenqing pointed to the two small red flags on the sand table: "So our army pretended to attack Gaizhou Prefecture and occupy it. But it was to lure Yangcheng and Qinshui to support them. Set up an ambush wherever you pass."

After speaking, Ximen Qing asked, "What do you think?"

"It turned out to be such a siege point to fight for aid!" Lu Zhishen's eyes lit up: "The high officials really have a good plan, and they have given home clothes! The two counties of Yangcheng and Qinshui can send about 5000 people to support them. The strength of these two support troops...Niu Wenzhong has been weakened by more than half!"

Ximenqing said with a smile: "If you have no intention to calculate, as long as you put on the illusion that the whole army is concentrated to attack Gaizhou, the two counties of Yangcheng and Qinshui will come to rescue; but they don't know that our army's intention is not to build the state. But it happened to be their two support troops."

"After that, we can easily conquer Yangcheng and Qinshui counties." Dadao Guan Sheng added: "After that, Gaizhou Prefecture will be a lonely city, and Niu Wenzhong has nothing to do no matter how capable he is."

"Since everyone has no other opinions, then we will do as Master Ximen said." Marshal Guan Sheng was also appointed by Ximen Qing's blessing, and he was also polite to other generals: "Let's see which general is willing Set up an ambush for help."

Thunderbolt Qin Ming was the first to cup his hands and said: "The last general will be named a pioneer, of course Qin must be counted in this kind of thing."

Guan Sheng nodded: "General Qin can choose a favorable terrain. I will give you 1 troops to ambush the reinforcements in Yangcheng County."

Qin Ming was overjoyed, received the general order and stepped aside.

Monk Hua and Lu Zhishen also did his part, and jumped out and said, "Let the Sa family have a good time, and the Qinshui County reinforcements will be handed over to the Sa family."

Da Dao Guan Sheng also nodded: "1 horses should be handed over to Lu Ti's administration, don't be careless."

"Save the family." Lu Zhishen cupped his hands.

"The two counties of Lingchuan and Gaoping each keep 1 horses to prevent the enemy from counterattacking." Dao Guan Sheng said solemnly: "The remaining 5 horses will be led by the Marshal himself to occupy..."

Speaking of the big knife, Guan Sheng pointed lightly on the sand table: "Occupy this point."

"You are all men who are good at fighting. This time, we will succeed and take back the entire territory of Gaizhou!"

The generals responded abruptly.

...

...

Qinshui County.

Piwei general An Shirong has been feeling jittery lately and has difficulty falling asleep; some time ago there were often signs of Song soldiers haunting, although it was only a small group of people, An Shirong always felt that something was wrong.

The past few days have become much quieter, and the spies reported "no change" and "everything is normal" for several days, which made An Shirong feel more and more wrong.

The distance from Qinshui County to Yangcheng County was only forty or fifty miles. An Shirong climbed up the city wall, looked at the direction of Yangcheng County from afar, and let out a sigh.

The Privy Envoy has always been good at saving face, but the current situation is not the time to talk about face.

One hundred thousand elite soldiers entered Gaizhou, and now there are only less than 6 horses left. Although Gao Qiu's one hundred thousand army was defeated overnight, one enemy became stronger and stronger inadvertently.

That is Ximen Qing who is the supervisor of the army.

Every time An Shirong thought of this, a feeling of absurdity came to his mind.

Ximenqing had less than 2 people, occupying the two counties of Lingchuan and Gaoping, but forced Niu Wenzhong and himself to stick to it, unable to move.

This is simply too unreasonable.

At this moment, the dust rising in the distance caught his attention.

At the same time, the earth is trembling!

drum!The sound of drums resounded through the sky, which surprised An Shirong.

Looking in the direction of the drumbeat, the horizon has been occupied by a mass of black...

Even if Ximenqing's 2 people were all mobilized, such a large formation would not be possible!

An Shirong's heart suddenly seemed to be tightened by something. This is an army that came out of nowhere!

"Find out, quickly find out for me!" An Shirong almost roared and shouted to the soldiers around him: "Be on alert! The whole city is on alert!"

Although there are many enemies, the [-] soldiers in Anshirong City are not vegetarians.Relying on the thick city wall, An Shirong is confident that he can hold back the enemy, and Chu Heng, the Biaowei general in Yangcheng County, will not just sit idly by and will definitely send troops to support him.

But what An Shirong didn't expect was that almost at the same time, Biaowei general Chu Heng also ordered his subordinates to find out where the army in the distance came from!

August seventeenth.

Dao Guan Sheng and Ximen Qing led the army in a circle, swaggering through the two counties of Qinshui and Yangcheng. The direction of travel was not Yangcheng or Qinshui, but Gaizhou Prefecture in the southwest of Yangcheng.

"The enemy's flag is blowing blood, about 6 to [-] people, passed around the city, and went straight to Gaizhou Capital!"

Piwei general An Shirong and Biaowei general Chu Heng received reports from spies one after another. This news made them feel scared from the bottom of their hearts.

It doesn't matter if Yangcheng County is lost; it doesn't matter if Qinshui County is lost. Niu Wenzhong, the capital of Gaizhou, only has more than 1 horses in his hands. It's too late to regret.

The two made the same choice by coincidence.

Send troops to rescue Gaizhou!

Don't let the Gaizhou government fall!

Piwei general An Shirong left [-] soldiers to defend the city, while Biaowei general Chu Heng dispatched almost the whole team, leaving only hundreds of soldiers defending the city!

The last two "Four Powerful Generals" didn't have time to exchange news with each other, but each chose the shortest path, with only one purpose, that is to rush to Gaizhou Capital as soon as possible, attack back and forth, and defeat this one that came out of nowhere coming army.

Piwei general An Shirong and Biaowei general Chu Heng were thinking about the same question on horseback.

That is: Where did Ximenqing get this army?
