Chapter 66: All the fish that slipped through the net

While Xu Zongwen was showing off his power in Linzi City, great changes occurred in the Central Plains. Murong Chui formed an alliance with Zhai Bin, the first leader of Ding Ling to rebel against Qin, and killed General Pingxi, the first general under Qin Chang Le Gong Fu Pi.

Shiyue!

Later, after Murong Feng's persuasion, Zhai Bin directly respected Murong Chui as his master. With the support of the Xianbei and Ding Ling people, Murong Chui proclaimed himself King of Yan in Xingyang, announced the restoration of the Yan Kingdom, and generously rewarded the various Qin states that came to rely on him.

Officials, the number of people under Murong Chui's command increased to one hundred thousand several times.

The Chariot General Xie Xuan, the commander of the Central Army of the Northern Expedition of the Jin Dynasty, sent General Huan Yi of the Right Army, General Longxiang General Xie Yan, and General Jianwu Liu Laozhi to lead their troops north to attack Chenliu County, and fought with them near the Suishui River outside Yongqiu City.

Maodang's army marched south from Jujube and fought for seven days and seven nights, with each side winning or losing.

After that, Huan Yi commanded the Beifu soldiers to enter Yongqiu, while Mao Dang commanded the three hundred thousand coalition forces from Luoyang, Yecheng and Taiyuan to besiege Yongqiu City. The two sides faced off in Yongqiu City, and Mao Dang led his troops to attack the head of Yongqiu City several times.

, were all repelled by the troops led by Huan Yi and Liu Laozhi. However, as they were gradually depleted, the Beifu army gradually became exhausted and fell at a disadvantage!

The Central Plains Qin Army and the Beifu Army fought in Yongqiu. Zhang Chong, the governor of Yanzhou, led 30,000 horses out of Linqiu and marched southwest, hoping to secretly attack the Jin Dynasty's cavalry general Xie Xuan who was stationed in Suiyang. Another war was brewing.

Among...

"What's going on with the Qin army? They're like blind rats and they have to burrow into the mountains!" Zheng Lue wiped the blood on his hands with his sleeves and said to Shen Yu from afar.

"Who knows? I guess something happened to my eldest brother in Linzi City." Shen Yu raised his head and said smoothly.

When Zheng Lue heard that something happened to Xu Zongwen, he hurriedly ran towards Shen Yu and asked, "What do you think could happen to my elder brother?"

"Don't worry!" Shen Yu analyzed earnestly: "These Qin troops are all disgraced, their armors are in a mess, and their flags have been burned. They look like they have suffered a defeat, so I thought that my eldest brother was in Linzi City.

They were defeated, that's why they came here."

"That's good, that's good!" Hearing that Xu Zongwen might be fine, Zheng Lue breathed a sigh of relief and sighed: "Thanks to us, we traveled across mountains and rivers day and night to get to Linzi. If my eldest brother had been in trouble, we would have been in vain. Fortunately, fortunately,

!”

Zheng Lue never thought about why Xu Zongwen could defeat so many Qin troops with only 500 men, because in his heart, Xu Zongwen was a god, omnipotent and invincible. There was nothing that Xu Zongwen could not do.

What is the rare thing that can defeat Xu Zongwen?

For example, when Xu Zongwen set out from Shouyang with 1,500 or 600 men, he dared to attack the city of Xiapi with great fanfare. He surrendered Wang Xian without even using a sword, a gun, or an arrow, and gained Xiapi.

The whole county.

Another example is the surprise attack on Tancheng. He teamed up with Zhang Sanli to attack Tancheng at night, recaptured Donghai County, led troops north to descend to Xiangbi, besieged Wuyuan, and went down to Fuyang. After Xu Yuanxi was defeated, he used the ladder formation to attack Pengcheng, which laid the foundation for the Jin army to regain Xuzhou.

Crucial battle!

Along the way, they followed Xu Zongwen in dozens of battles, and faced enemies that were several times or even ten times their own. However, without exception, Xu Zongwen led them to defeat the enemies, conquering cities and territories with great turmoil!

Zheng Lue and Shen Yu were originally just two big soldiers, but now they can independently command an army. They have three thousand people under their command. Not only Zheng Lue and Shen Yu, but also Xie Yan's cavalry leader Zhuge who was born in the Taiwan Army.

Kan is now a Sima of another department, Tian Luo, who is at the bottom of the Beifu soldiers, and Zhang Gui is on an equal footing with them, becoming a captain, with an army in his hand, and the Qin army's surrendered general Pang Bai has become the commander of the Jin Yiwei!

Which one of them doesn't feel like Ming Jing?

All this is thanks to Xu Zongwen!

"Go quickly, go quickly!" A centurion under Zheng Lue escorted a group of surrendered Qin troops down the mountain.

Looking up, the Qin army was defeated all over the mountains and plains. The Jin army escorted all the surrendered troops and gathered in the valley. Shen Yu and Zheng Lue packed up their bags and led their horses towards the valley.

"Quickly tell me, what kind of army are you?" Zheng Lue rubbed a whip in his hand and approached a thin soldier with dull eyes. The smile on his lips was very obvious.

"Ah!" Zheng Lue raised his long whip and swung the whip at the surrendered soldiers in front of him. Zheng Lue's attack was neither light nor heavy. The timid surrendered soldiers he beat didn't take long to take the initiative to explain, and the other surrendered soldiers were

Afraid of Zheng Lue's whipping, you glanced at me and started telling the details of the two Linzi battles before and after...

After a long time, Shen Yu ordered that all the captured Qin troops be escorted to Linzi and handed over to Xu Zongwen himself. Then, a long and endless escort team began on the road from the foot of Niushou Mountain to the north to Linzi City.

Along the way, Zheng Lue learned about the brutality of the Battle of Linzi, and he still felt worried and asked Shen Yu: "Do you think my eldest brother will be in danger in Linzi?"

After all, Xu Zongwen's identity is a Cavalry General of the Jin Dynasty. If his identity is exposed, it may not be that simple to escape unscathed!

"We still have to get to Linzi City first to know the details." Shen Yu was riding on the horse, his thoughts far away. Suddenly, his eyes turned involuntarily. He seemed to think of something. He paused and continued to say to Zheng Lue: "

We can't just show up with such a big fanfare

When marching into Zicheng, we must hide outside Linzi City. Just in case, we have to inform our elder brother in advance. If there is a fight with the Linzi garrison, we will be the ones to suffer. It will expose our elder brother and we are beyond our reach outside the city.

, I will regret it later!"

Zheng Lue heard what Shen Yu said and thought it would be better not to enter Linzi City for the time being. A misunderstanding would ultimately be detrimental to the recovery of Linzi. It would be best to take Linzi City without bloodshed, plan an attack, and attack the city without fighting.

And the soldiers who subjugate others are the good ones!

Now that the decision was made, Shen Yu immediately changed his order and ordered the front troops to change direction. The army was temporarily camped twenty miles outside Linzi City and was on standby.

During the encounter at Niushou Mountain, Gou Rong, the governor of Jinan, was killed on the spot by Zheng Lue. Except for Jiang Guo, the governor of Changguang, who escaped by chance, Bai Shu, the governor of Beihai, and Che Huang, the governor of Le'an, were captured by Shen Yusheng. They finally escaped from Linzi.

More than half of the more than 10,000 county soldiers who escaped from the city were killed or wounded. Jiang Guo fled in a hurry with hundreds of cavalry troops. In the battle of Niushou Mountain, Shen Yu and Zheng Lue gained a great victory in vain, and Zheng Luele could not close his mouth from ear to ear.

Of the 30,000 county soldiers brought by Han Ji, only 3,000 of Kou Xiuzhi's troops were left with the least loss. Kou Xiuzhi took these 3,000 people and rushed all the way to Jie County, passing through Ju County on the way. Kou Xiuzhi's group was in a hurry to leave Linzi.

He didn't bother to go to the transport camp to bring some water and food. When he saw the city of Ju County right in front of him, Kou Xiuzhi was overjoyed. He could finally take a breath!

"Hurry up and ask the magistrate of Juxian County to prepare water and food for me. We will have a good meal outside the city, and then we will rush back to Yexian County." Kou Xiuzhi turned sideways on the horse and ordered to his men beside him, who nodded hurriedly.

, got on the horse and rode towards Juxian County, whipping up his whip.

Little did they know that the capital of Juxian County had already changed its flag, and the ownership changed just yesterday!

The day before the Battle of Niushoushan, Zhu Xu ordered Zhendong General Xu Yuanxi to evacuate from the direction of Linzi, canceled the task of capturing Jiliting, and asked him to capture Juxian County as soon as possible and cut off the retreat of the four counties east of Qingzhou. Xu Yuanxi's five

After thousands of people left Guang County and crossed the Jumi River, they arrived in Ju County in half a day.

Juxian County is located to the south of Beihai County and is under the jurisdiction of Dongguan County. Because of the lack of information, they did not know that Dongguan had surrendered the Jin army. Now Xu Yuanxi's army is besieging the city. There are only 8,000 soldiers and civilians in Juxian County, and there are 1,000 soldiers guarding the city.

Unexpectedly, before the magistrate of Juxian County could make a decision, Xu Yuanxi captured Juxian County with a single charge!

It turned out that the magistrate of Juxian County saw that the Jin army was powerful and did not want to fall prey to the sword, so he took it upon himself to open the city gate and let Xu Yuanxi into the city. Xu Yuanxi did not even bring siege equipment, so he entered Juxian County openly...

"Listen up here, I am under the command of Kou Fujun, the prefect of Donglai. We are passing through Juxian County today after returning from the expedition against the rebels, so that I can tell you to prepare food and fodder quickly to welcome my Koufujun." Kou Xiuzhi's men scouted the station.

In drama

The people in the county town shouted loudly to the people in the city. Not long ago, they were like defeated roosters, their armor was in pieces, but now they came to Ju County like they had won a battle. They were arrogant and arrogant. I don’t know who gave it to them.

courage?

Xu Yuanxi pushed aside the sergeant in front of him, walked to the top of the city and looked at the large number of dejected and swaying county soldiers under the city. With a smile on his face, he ordered people to open the city gate and sent a message to Kou Xiuzhi, saying that he would prepare a small amount of wine at the county government for a banquet.

Kou Xiuzhi also said that he had gone to the granary to transport food and sent it immediately outside the city, asking them to wait a moment.

Kou Xiuzhi was naturally very happy when he got the news. Seeing that the gate of Ju County was wide open, he rode into the city with a few followers without thinking...

"What are you doing?"

When Kou Xiuzhi entered the city, the city gates were immediately closed and the suspension bridge was quickly pulled up. Kou Xiuzhi himself was ordered to be captured alive by Xu Yuanxi, and was escorted to Xu Yuanxi with his clothes tied.

Xu Yuanxi laughed and patted the subdued Kou Xiuzhi, and asked with a smile: "Do you know who I am?"

"You are not the magistrate of Juxian County!" Kou Xiuzhi realized at this time, but it was already too late.

Looking at the sergeants surrounding him in circles, all of them were equipped with fine armor, and they were all strong and strong, Kou Xiu realized later that this Ju County was occupied by the Jin army!

"I am Xu Yuanxi, the general of Zhendong. I heard that you are the prefect of Donglai in Qingzhou?" Xu Yuanxi knelt down to tidy up Kou Xiuzhi's messy hair.

Xu Yuanxi, the general of Zhendong, was indeed Zhu Xu’s general!

At this point, there was nothing to hide. Kou Xiuzhi could only admit his identity, then raised his head and closed his eyes: "Kill or behead, please feel free to do so!"

Xu Yuanxi laughed loudly: "Tie it up for me, general, and give it to the envoy when the time comes. You have done a great job!"

"Thank you, General!" The sergeants gathered around grinned and thanked him hurriedly.

"Tell the Qin army outside the city that Kou Xiuzhi, the governor of Donglai, has surrendered and ordered them to put down their troops within half an hour. If they don't obey, I will send troops to destroy them!" Xu Yuanxi got up and walked towards the city, and Kou Xiuzhi was also escorted.

Followed behind Xu Yuanxi.

Not long after, they learned that the city of Juxian County had been occupied by the Jin army, and their own princes entered the city and surrendered the enemy. The three thousand soldiers from the county outside the city saw the soldiers from Juxian County pouring out like a wave, and surrounded them. Everyone who knew it was thrown away.
