Chapter Three Hundred and Thirty Wuping Wars

When the two recalled the past, they were very emotional. Their love was naturally blended in depth, and both of them found a long-lost feeling.

Perhaps it was because of the busy government affairs that involved Guo Hao too much energy, so he gradually neglected a few people, no emotional response, and no feeling of communication.

Looking at Qiu Nan's cute face, Guo Hao got up a little and put on his clothes. It was already dark outside. Everyone had a day off when Guo Ran got married, so no one disturbed him.

After the wedding, the palace calmed down again. Guo Hao did not mention Guo Rong's matter, mainly because he wanted to see her reaction.

Although the ceremony in the palace was completed, the people's spontaneous celebration was not over yet. Officials from all over the country made more or less arrangements to express their congratulations, so the whole country celebrated together for a while.

The news about the Song Kingdom reached the south, and Zhang Wenbiao, who was in Langzhou, finally couldn't sit still. He wanted to take this opportunity to take action.

"Now the wedding of King Jing of Song State, it seems that Emperor Song attaches great importance to his younger brother, otherwise he would not have caused such a big disturbance.

We must seize this opportunity and quickly resolve the Zhou family members with lightning speed. As long as we control the situation, it will not be so easy for Song State to attack us!"

Zhang Wenbiao made up his mind and arranged for someone to prepare immediately and would do it that night.

Zhou Baoquan knew nothing about it. Although Zhou Xingfeng had doubts about him, he was suspicious after all. Moreover, Zhang Wenbiao endured for so long that there was a 20,000 army stationed in Badong, and everyone felt that Zhang Wenbiao would not rebel.

As a result, Yang Shifan didn't react. When he got the news, Zhou Baoquan had been killed by Zhang Wenbiao, and all the officials of Wuping were also controlled by him.

It turns out that although Zhang Wenbiao appears to be honest, he is not idle in secret. In the past few months, he has made sufficient preparations to control Wu Ping in one fell swoop.

Zhang Wenbiao looked down at the officials in the original mansion of the Zhou family in Langzhou. He was surrounded by fully armed soldiers. There were two corpses in the yard, and the blood had not dried yet.

"Everyone, now the people of the Zhou family have been killed by me. Since the destruction of Chu, there have been several military governors, but none of them dare to be emperor. Do you follow them? Don't you feel that the future is hopeless?

Now that I have killed the descendants of the Zhou family, everyone will follow me from now on. As long as we are united, everyone can get it!

I know everyone is worried about Song State, but now Song State is celebrating a prince's marriage and doesn't care about us at all. When they react, I have already controlled the situation and may not be able to fight at that time!"

The Chu State mentioned by Zhang Wenbiao was a regime established by the Ma family during the Five Dynasties. It was later destroyed by Liu Yan and was in three positions of military governors until now.

Now the officials are all fish on the board, and they have to listen if they don’t listen. The corpses outside look like they are. If anyone dares to resist, they will end up with them.

When there was any movement in Wuping, the spies from Song State had already sent the news, but Bianliang was too far away from here. Liu Tingrang learned the news and was ready to send troops.

At the battalion of the Badong Military Region, Liu Tingrang asked the military supervisor next to him and said, "Brother Li thinks I should send troops. If I wait for news from Bianliang, it may be too late."

Li Xiong is a military supervisor of the Badong Military Region and is a thorough literati. He is only 34 years old this year. Although he knows some military affairs, he does not express any opinions on it.

"Before His Majesty sent me here, he repeatedly told me not to interfere in the military. I am only responsible for the ideological education and logistics of the soldiers. Whether to send troops or not should the general decide!"

Liu Tingrang was both relieved and helpless when he heard Li Xiong say this. The two of them didn't spend long together, but their relationship was pretty good. I don't know how Guo Hao chose, Li Xiong was a bit too principled.

"Okay, no matter you have to decide, I have to decide for myself. As the saying goes, the general is outside, and the king will not accept the order. His Majesty once mentioned this before leaving, and also told me that if I have the opportunity to attack Wuping directly.

Now that Zhang Wenbiao’s rebellion is an opportunity for us, it’s a pity that I only have 20,000 troops and lack a document from the Zhou family.”

Li Xiong thought about it after hearing this and said, "I can do nothing to do with the troops. The general can ask the court to dispatch troops. As for the easy document, Zhang Wenbiao's actions were very fast and he must have made complete preparations, so the Zhou family could not be alive.

However, it is already a fact that he rebelled. We only need to forge a document and avenge the Zhou family, and send troops directly!"

Liu Tingrang stood up and made a quick decision when he heard this. Now the military generals in the court envied him very much. They all wanted to come to Badong, but unfortunately Guo Hao refused.

Now that there is a war here, Liu Tingrang is afraid that he will be divided into credit if he is too late. At least he must be the first battle. Although there are fewer people, he cannot fight!

"With the two cannons left by His Majesty, even 20,000 people are not without the power of a battle. Wuping's army should be similar to Shu. Let's fight first."

After saying that, Liu Tingrang immediately ordered to dispatch troops to advance to Lizhou. On the third day of Zhang Wenbiao's rebellion, the Song army had already arrived at the border of Lizhou.

"Report--The Song army set out from the Three Gorges and has arrived in Lizhou now. If you respond, please tell me!"

When Zhang Wenbiao heard that the Song army had arrived in Lizhou, he was stunned. He didn't expect that the Song army was moving so quickly, as if he was waiting for him.

"How many people have they come?"

"The boundless, unlimited!"

Zhang Wenbiao's heart skipped a beat and tried to calm himself down. Although others were arrogant and did not take Song State seriously, he knew in his heart that Song State was not easy to mess with.

"Since we are here, let's fight. The Song army can react so quickly, only the 20,000 troops in Badong, so they will not divide their troops. We must wait for their reinforcements to defeat them before they arrive!"

After panic, Zhang Wenbiao calmed down and carefully analyzed that he thought he had been in charge of Hunan for many years, had familiar combat environment, and was strong in the army. Even if there were reinforcements, he could fight a war of attrition with the Song army who came from the expedition.

What he did not expect was that Liu Tingrang actually divided his troops and went from water to land to Sanjiangkou imperial guards. With the help of the speed of the river, he arrived at Sanjiangkou in just half a day.

Although Zhang Wenbiao successfully rebelled, most of his troops were still in Hengzhou, and he was not in control of the troops in Langzhou, so everything happened too suddenly.

At the moment of crisis, Zhang Wenbiao called generals Zhang Wenfu and Yang Shifan and told him the situation.

"The Song army came to attack, with only 20,000 troops. My people were still on the way, but the Song army had already arrived in Lizhou.

Although we have an internal strife, Hunan is the foundation of our ancestors after all. Are you willing to give up?

If you don’t resist, the Song army will definitely grow and go straight to Langzhou. Once Langzhou is broken, we will have no chance!"

Although Zhang Wenbiao killed Zhou Baoquan, he also avoided the consequences of bringing wolves into the house. The Song army came uninvited, which really made the few people a little annoyed.

Zhang Wenbiao looked at the two of them, and they were both hesitating whether to obey. Zhang Wenbiao was right. The ancestors' foundation should not be lost. They looked at each other for a long time and nodded to Zhang Wenbiao.

Zhang Wenbiao was overjoyed and said, "Thank you so much. As long as you stop the Song army and wait for my army to arrive, we can not only repel the Song army, but also take the opportunity to capture Badong!

By that era, our territory would become larger. Zhang Wenbiao vowed here that he would never treat you badly!”

The ancients focused on oaths, and Zhang Wenbiao was determined to expand territory, and the two of them were also a little shaken. No matter what, Zhang Wenbiao was always better than a child.

Wu Ping had just reacted, and the battle had started at Sanjiangkou. Because the Song army appeared too suddenly, it was quickly captured. The navy won a battle and continued to advance to Langzhou.

But the army was not so smooth. The Lizhou garrison had some skills, and Liu Tingrang was a little unable to let go, so he had no results in several attacks.

The war in Hunan began, and Guo Hao received the news two days later and immediately ordered Wang Quanbin to send 50,000 troops to support Liu Tingrang.

Two days later, Guo Hao was looking forward to the good news from the south when he learned that Liu Tingrang had sent troops. However, after taking Sanjiangkou, the Song army was subjected to fierce counterattack by Yang Shifan. The 10,000 troops could not support it and had to retreat to Sanjiangkou.

Liu Tingrang knew that he had no chance to defeat Wu Ping's army in one fell swoop. At this time, he already knew the news that the court sent troops, and all he could do was wait on the spot.

The war between the two countries started again, which made Li Yu even more unable to sit still. He didn't know whether he should show his loyalty or send troops to help Wuping.

After all, if Wu Ping is destroyed, the next one will definitely be Southern Tang!
