Chapter 629: The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit makes a surprising move and secretly crosses Chencang to take Lingling!
Jingzhou, Lingling County!
Our Lady of the Fire Spirit led her army by boat down the Xiang River, traveling all the way through Changsha, Xiangtan, Hengyang, Eastern Hunan, Qiyang, and finally arrived near Quanling under the jurisdiction of Lingling County.
After arriving near Quanling, Our Lady of the Fire Spirit did not immediately send an army to attack Quanling. In order to prevent the enemy from being alerted, she sent many scouts to sneak into Quanling and collect important information about the enemy's strength, fortifications, and city layout.
information.
After the scouts gathered information, Our Lady of Fire Spirit learned from the scouts that Liu Du, the former governor of Lingling County, had defected to Dou Jiande, and that the current guard of Quanling was none other than Liu Du's son Liu Rengong!
[Liu Rengong, a native of Shenzhou, was a separatist general of local vassal towns in the late Tang and Five Dynasties, and the son of Liu Sheng, the general of Lulong Town.
He is bold and indulgent, resourceful and ambitious. He was originally a general under Li Keju, the governor of Lulong.
In the first year of Guangqi's reign, he followed the army to attack Yizhou and destroyed the city by digging tunnels into the city, which was named "Liu Kutou".
After taking refuge with King Li Keyong of the Jin Dynasty, he became Sikong, Inspector of Schools, and Military Envoy of Lulong Army.
Later, he turned against the Jin State and took refuge with Zhu Wen, the governor of Bianzhou. He joined Tongping Zhangshi and became the envoy. He annexed Lu Yanwei, the governor of Yichang, in an attempt to separate Heshuo. However, he was attacked by Zhu Wen, the king of Liang, and his son Liu Shouguang seized the throne and became independent.
.
In the fourth year of Qianhua in the Later Liang Dynasty, Li Cunxu, Emperor Zhuangzong of the Later Tang Dynasty, pacified Youzhou. The father and son were captured and executed.
According to the epitaphs of his great-grandson Liu Yujie and Liu Yuyi, Liu Rengong's posthumous title was King Yan Zhao. His title as King of Yan was granted or self-proclaimed. His posthumous title was given by the Liao Dynasty or privately given by descendants, which has yet to be verified.]
After Liu Rengong was balanced by the system, not long after, his original father Liu Sheng also came to this world because of the balance of the system, and coincidentally merged with Liu Du. In other words, Liu Sheng, in this life,
He is still Liu Rengong's father, but his body belongs to Liu Du.
"General Liu, Lord Governor, please pay more attention to us in the near future. I heard that Changsha County guarded by Ma Yin and Guiyang County guarded by Gao Jixing have been captured by the Jingzhou Army."
Listening to the words of his confidant, Liu Rengong didn't care at all. He sneered and then replied: "So what, does the Jingzhou Army still want to unify the four counties of Jingnan? Even if they have this idea, they don't have the strength!"
The main reason why Changsha County and Guiyang County were taken away by the Jingzhou Army was that Ma Yin and Gao Jixing were so useless that they couldn't even defend the city. They deserved to be killed and captured.
We only need to guard Lingling County, and after the lord has dealt with the Shu army in Shangyong and the Jingzhou army near Jiangxia County, we will retake Changsha and Guiyang."
Liu Rengong's words seemed to give reassurance to the soldiers. Since his own generals were not nervous, their subordinates need not panic even more.
While Liu Rengong was inspecting the defenses of Quanling as usual, in a mountain valley twenty miles east of Quanling, Our Lady of Fire Spirit and others were planning an attack on the city!
"There are only 1,000 troops in Quanling City, and we have 3,000 here, plus the 5,000 Jingzhou troops in Yingpu and Yingdao, the total number is 8,000. Attacking the small Quanling will not be a problem.
It's just that Liu Du is based in Lingling and has about 4,000 troops under his command. Lingling is only half a day's journey from Quanling. If we can't capture Quanling within half a day, when Liu Du's reinforcements arrive, we may
We will suffer double revenge from Liu Rengong and Liu Du and his son!"
Thinking of this, Our Lady of the Fire Spirit frowned and fell into deep thought. It was simply unrealistic to capture the two important towns of Quanling and Lingling with only 8,000 people, unless...
The Fire Spirit Mother's eyes fell on Qiyang on the map, with a hint of cunning flashing in her eyes.
"Pass my military order, go to Yingpu and inform Jingzhou Army General Yang Xiu, and ask him to lead two thousand soldiers, carry siege equipment, and pretend to go to Qiyang." Our Lady of the Fire Spirit said in a deep voice, "When we are about to arrive in Qiyang, there will be another surprise
Turn around and head straight for Quanling!"
"Yes!" After receiving the order, the ordering soldier turned and left.
Then, Our Lady of the Fire Spirit continued to give orders. She said: "Come here, tell me my order. Go to the camp road to inform Yang Jun, the general of the Jingzhou Army, and ask him to bring two thousand people to pretend to attack Quanling, so as to create a situation where Quanling is not captured.
The illusion that Ling would not give up tempted Liu Du in Lingling City to take the initiative."
Our Lady of the Fire Spirit paused for a moment, and then continued: "As for us, we are ambushing on the only road between Quanling and Lingling. Once Liu Du leads the army out of Lingling, we will be the last to capture Lingling.
Great time!”
After listening to the military orders issued by the Holy Mother of Fire Spirits, all the officers and soldiers were all excited and flushed with excitement. They clapped their hands and applauded, and then hurriedly returned to the army and began to prepare for the war.
…
Yingpu!
After Jingzhou Army Guard General Yang Xiu received the cooperation order sent by the Holy Mother of Fire Spirits, he did not hesitate at all and immediately ordered two thousand elite soldiers to send troops to Qiyang.
Yang Xiu led two thousand soldiers under his command to send troops to Qiyang. As soon as they left Yingpu, Liu Rengong and Liu Du received intelligence from the scouts.
"Why did Yang Xiu go to Qiyang so well? Why don't I send five to six hundred people to support Qiyang?"
While Liu Du and Liu Rengong were still thinking about the purpose of Yang Xiu leading his army to Qiyang, their scouts hurried over to report the latest intelligence.
"Report to the general that Yang Xiu from Yingpu led his army towards Quanling!!!"
"What!"
After listening to what the scouts said, both Liu Du from Lingling and Liu Rengong from Quanling were shocked. Yang Xiu had lost his temper today and dared to attack Quanling. He was really hanging himself alive.
Tired of it.
"How long until the army led by Yang Xiu arrives at Quanling? Is there any movement from Yang Jun in the camp?"
After learning that Yang Xiu was leading an army towards Quanling, Liu Rengong was somewhat nervous, as could be seen from his conversation with the scouts.
"General Liu, in about half a day, Yang Xiu will arrive outside Quanling City!"
Just as the scout finished speaking, the curtain of Liu Rengong's tent was suddenly opened, and a sweaty scout stumbled in. The scout knelt down in front of Liu Rengong.
, reported in an urgent manner: "General Liu is in serious trouble. Yang Jun from the camp road is leading two thousand soldiers and a large number of siege equipment, and is heading towards Quanling. It seems that he is going to attack Quanling."
Listening to what the scouts said, Liu Rengong's heart thumped. He didn't know what made Yang Xiu and Yang Jun so crazy today. It was as if they had made an appointment to come together to attack Quanling.
