After Wu Yanrou, the commander of Chenzhou, received the order, he left some troops to garrison Chenzhou and immediately led his troops to march westward.
Wu Yanrou was one of the first generals of the Southern Han Dynasty to come from the palace. He was already a general in the town at a young age, so he was naturally high-spirited.
Although the soldiers and generals around him looked at him with a little disdain, Wu Yanrou was dismissive and laughed at them for not understanding the joy of missing two ounces of meat.
Women will naturally affect the speed of the knife. After the incision, he obviously felt that his movement was a little faster.
"Great Commander!"
Wei Chengce, the pioneer of the front, came on horseback to report: "A small group of Central Plains troops have been found in the front. Are you going to pursue them?"
Wu Yanrou stroked her hair involuntarily and said, "Don't worry about him. He is trying to delay our troops. If we want to get to Hezhou as soon as possible, there is no need to mess around with these small troops."
Wu Yanrou seemed to be very confident in his own judgment, and instead issued an order to forcefully march the troops.
It took Wu Yanrou two days to arrive near Hezhou. He was overjoyed to learn that the Central Plains soldiers had arrived in Hezhou first and were besieging the city and preparing to attack the city. He said: "Pan Mei from the Central Plains obviously did not expect that our army would arrive so quickly and did not send any troops."
Intercept. If we attack now, our army will win."
He pointed his delicate hand in the direction of Hezhou and issued the order for the entire army to attack.
The sudden appearance of the Southern Han Army made the Central Plains soldiers who were preparing to attack the city unprepared and ran towards Pan Mei's commander's camp in panic.
Pan Mei didn't seem to realize that the reinforcements would come so quickly. She was unprepared and decisively chose to retreat towards Daozhou.
Yang Quan, the Hezhou military envoy, was originally planning to surrender. Seeing how vulnerable the Central Plains army was, he quickly changed his mind and led his guards to visit Wu Yanrou, who was lying on Hu's bed.
Wu Yanrou is young and energetic and likes gimmicks.
He spent a lot of money to build an agarwood bed, which he carried with him wherever he went.
Especially when commanding in battle, when others are riding horses, he will sit on the bed and lie down on the bed to give the command, in order to show that he is decisive and unique in command.
"I've met the commander-in-chief!"
From the bottom of his heart, Yang Quan looked down on Wu Yanrou, a person who relied on his own efforts to rise to the top, but thinking that he had lifted the crisis in Hezhou, he bowed to him politely and respectfully.
Wu Yanrou nodded slightly and said: "The soldiers and horses are willing to follow me to recover Daozhou and drive the Central Plains bandits out of Lingnan?"
Yang Quan looked shocked. In his mind, being able to defend Hezhou was already pretty good.
Recover Daozhou? Drive out of Lingnan?
What are you thinking about?
Yang Quan said tactfully: "Commander, why don't you go to Hezhou first and make long-term plans?"
Wu Yanrou snorted softly and said: "Pan Mei didn't expect that I would come so quickly. She messed up her position and planned to retreat and reorganize. If we don't take advantage of the victory and pursue it now, and wait for them to stabilize their position before destroying them, how easy is it? The soldiers and horses don't want to, I
Pursue on your own."
He didn't give Yang Quan a chance to speak at all, he got up from the bed directly, asked someone to carry him to the carriage, got on his mount, and chased Pan Mei in the direction of her retreat.
Wu Yanrou's eyes flashed with a stern look, and she suppressed the excitement in her heart. There was only one thought in her mind: to catch up with Pan Mei, then eliminate them, regain the lost territory, and return to Prince Xing's palace to claim the merit. The entire Lingnan people must know that Wu Yanrou is by no means a mere supporter.
He is an incompetent person who came from Gong Bode.
Nowadays, there are not many people seeking official posts from the palace, and there is no such trend in Lingnan as a whole.
Although Wu Yanrou, the first group of people to commit suicide, gained the greatest benefits, they were also despised by the public.
Wu Yanrou was very open-minded on the surface, but she couldn't hide her inferiority complex deep inside.
Especially when he went home and looked at his wife, Wu Yanrou lost the dignity that a man should have.
Wu Yanrou wants to prove to himself that he may not be a normal man anymore, but his status is earned through ability, not those two eggs.
This time, I want to act like a man.
Pan Mei, who was retreating in an orderly manner ten miles away, received the news that Wu Yanrou was catching up.
Tian Renlang, who was beside Pan Mei, also heard what he heard. He didn't know what to say for a while.
He has been guarding Qinchuan with Wang Jing, and recently he was transferred to Pan Mei's side for Luo Youdu to win military glory.
Tian Renlang lacks effective understanding of coach Pan Mei's ability, but he cherishes this opportunity.
Tian Renlang is a kind-hearted, strategic man who likes reading. He is also very good at administration and is an excellent general in the border area. Because his father is the military commander of the Zhaoyi Army, he is in a high position without any experience on the battlefield and serves the king. Jing stayed by his side to train him. In recent years, Wang Jing even left all the work of the Jiedushi to him. As an assistant officer, he handled the work of the Jiedushi, and his political achievements were extraordinary.
With his ability, he is fully qualified to fulfill the heroic post of Jiedushi and protect one side.
However, the biggest shortcoming in his resume is that he has not fought in battle and has no military exploits.
In this southern expedition, Pan Mei avoided the real situation and attacked the weak, which was indeed good. However, instead of encircling the points to mobilize reinforcements, he abandoned Hezhou and retreated to lure the enemy, which Tian Renlang could not understand.
Will the Southern Han army fall for such a clumsy strategy to lure the enemy?
No way!
As a result, the other party really came after me...
Tian Renlang didn't know what to say. After a while, he couldn't help but ask: "How can Pan Du be sure that Wu Yanrou will definitely come after him?"
Pan Mei smiled confidently and said: "Wu Yanrou held a high position at a young age through unfair means and was questioned a lot. All she wanted was to prove herself. How could he not take the bait when Pan gave him this opportunity?"
This trick of luring an enemy may be difficult to achieve against others, but against someone like Wu Yanrou who has low self-esteem to the point of perversion, it is fatally tempting.
Seeing that Tian Renlang was still a little hesitant, Pan Mei said, "I'll tell you in detail later, and go ahead and prepare to meet the enemy."
Pan Mei had already understood what Luo Youdu meant.
After getting along with each other for a few days, I also discovered Tian Renlang's outstanding abilities and planned to give him more opportunities to perform meritorious service. If he has enough merit, he can stay here in Lingnan and serve as a border general.
Although the war has just begun, Luo Youdu and Pan Mei have already tacitly arranged the future of Lingnan.
After chasing for more than ten miles, Wu Yanrou arrived at a place called Liangting Ridge. What appeared in front of him were banners that covered the sky and the sun and the Central Plains Army in full gear.
"bluff!"
Wu Yanrou looked at the murderous military formation opposite, with a disdainful smile: He asked people to move a bed, sat on it, and shouted: "The thieves in the Central Plains know that they can't escape our army's pursuit, so they Choose the rear team to become the resistance of the front team. The thieves in front of you may seem fierce, but they are just a group of lambs covered in tiger skins, vulnerable. We, the Lingnan warriors, are brave and brave. Today, we will let the thieves in the Central Plains know what is real. Elite in all battles."
Wu Yanrou was doing pre-battle mobilization passionately. Under his orders, Lingnan soldiers shouted and swarmed forward.
The people who were born in the poor mountains and rivers of Lingnan have always been physically strong, and charging together at this moment really feels like a roaring mountain and a tsunami.
