Pei Sui's eyes suddenly turned red, as if he was frozen.
No wonder the food in Changyi doesn’t taste good, and it only takes a day or two for him to become worried and sick?
It turns out that when he retreated from Qianyin, he had already hidden his will to die...
Pei Sui is not a foolish person, so he knows very well that only by following Chang Yi's plan can he give the army a chance to survive.
With tears in his eyes, he bowed his head deeply and wanted to call out "County Marquis", but his throat seemed to be blocked and he could no longer swallow.
"Bang bang bang bang..."
There was a sudden sound outside the government office, as if a general was rushing towards him.
Pei Sui got up in a hurry, and as soon as he straightened up, he heard the words from outside the hall:
"The county magistrate, the county son, General Lan urgently reported: He and the marquis generals arrived at Shangcheng (the old city of Chencang in the Qin and Han Dynasties, which was abandoned due to the diversion of the Wei River, about ten miles east of the new city). Suddenly there were lights on the other side, and then rockets were like brilliant rain.
, leaked straight down, and all shot at the south bank. No one could get close... General Lan had no choice but to take shelter temporarily, and sent his subordinates down to report to the county magistrate..."
Does it mean that the soldiers who were sent to dig out the river bank were shot back without even getting close to the bank?
Pei Sui asked anxiously: "Didn't the county magistrate tell him to turn off the lights, silence and sneak, so why was he still alerted by the Wei army?"
"Li Chengzhi should have expected it in advance. In case I dug a dike to divert water, he had already prepared an ambush on the north bank. And Lan Ziyun disappeared, but nearly ten thousand soldiers gathered on the river bank, how could he be silent?" Chang Yizhi sighed sadly, "It seems that this thief is determined to win and vows to cross the river..."
Pei Suiyu became anxious. If the general hadn't been outside the door, he would have asked "What should we do?"
"Don't wait any longer. Set up camp immediately and enter the valley as soon as possible. I just took this opportunity to summon Fuluo and Yuan Li to the shore..."
After explaining in his mouth, Chang Yizhi stood up suddenly and shouted to the people around him: "Go quickly, please invite Mr. Fuluo and King Jiyin. I will call Chang and invite them to see the reality of the Wei camp..."
The confidant promised with a bang and hurried away. Chang Yizhi held up a tiger talisman and handed it forward solemnly: "I am ashamed of your Majesty..."
The word "Your Majesty" was barely spoken, and several loud sounds were suddenly heard in my ears.
It was like a dragon that had been overturned, and its feet were swaying. Even the armor hung by the soldiers on the half wall in preparation for Chang Yi's replacement was shaking and making a loud noise.
This was not the first time they had seen each other, and their expressions suddenly changed: Thunder!
The sound was so real and clearly very close: The Wei army actually wanted to forcefully cross the river from the north of the city, and so early?
"Don't panic, it's just that if the soldiers come to block it and the water comes to cover it, the Wei army's firearms will be difficult to defeat, but the powerful crossbows and artillery carriages I have gathered on the shore are not just decorations... Just set off quickly..."
With relief in his mouth, Chang Yizhi hurriedly walked out. Pei Sui gritted his teeth, put the tiger charm into his sleeve, and followed closely.
As soon as he left the government hall, another general rushed towards him. This time, he was even more panicked. The general was still more than ten feet away and was already shouting: "Your Majesty, please report urgently!"
"How can we be so panicked?"
Chang Yizhi shouted angrily and whipped him off.
The general didn't even try to hide, he knelt down with a "pop" and said urgently: "County Marquis, that traitor Yuan Li has betrayed his trust and has turned against the enemy... At this time, he is leading more than 10,000 rebels under his command to storm the shore.
In my front camp, burn my stone cannons, crossbows and other weapons...
But for some reason, the Wei army on the other side seemed to have eyes. Wherever Yuan Li attacked, the thunder on the other side would fall on the nearest place on the shore in response... Therefore, in just a moment, the front camp was completely defeated, and some of them lost their footing and fell into the water.
Everyone..."
Yuan Li...rebellious?
No wonder he was forced to withdraw from Guancheng at noon, but this thief didn't respond as forcefully as before, but just retreated as soon as he said so.
It seems that I had already turned against you at that time...
Wrong?
If Yuan Li had an impromptu idea, how could it be such a coincidence that as soon as he turned against him, the Wei army on the other side could respond?
What a good dog thief, I am afraid that when I retreated from Qianyin, I have secretly made peace with the Wei army...
There seemed to be a surge of hot blood in his forehead. Chang Yi's eyes went dark and he couldn't stop shaking.
Suddenly he felt a tightness under his waist, and it seemed that Pei Sui was holding him up. Chang Yi shouted in a quick voice: "Don't pay attention, you can leave now..."
Pei Sui was waiting for a response, but before he could even open his mouth, roars suddenly came from behind him.
Chang Yizhi held Pei Sui's hand tightly and asked in a hissing voice: "Where...has the change happened again?"
Pei Sui was shocked, confused, and at a loss.
He and Chang Yizhi were in the same courtyard, and they only heard the screams, but they didn't know where they came from. How did they know it?
"Report... The Hu army in the west of the city has protruded from the main camp, and countless Hu cavalry went straight to the old road... Now they are fighting with our Chinese army, and the chaos is..."
Volo... also rebelled?
Just like falling into an ice cellar, Pei Sui's whole body was as cold as a bone. His hands unconsciously let go, and Chang Yizhi fell down like a mountain.
There was a panic all around: "The county magistrate... the county magistrate..."
"Haha...haha..."
Chang Yizhi's face was as white as paper, but he still laughed loudly. There were tears on his face, and he was indescribably desolate.
"It's ridiculous that I, Chang Yi, think I have a plan. I want to divert misfortune to the east and lure these two thieves to cut off your queen. Don't you know that these two thieves have already had different aspirations... God's will... God wants to kill me..."
With a "pop" sound, a bloody arrow spurted out from Chang Yi's mouth, splattering Pei Sui's face.
But he seemed unaware. He let the soldiers beside him roar loudly, like a cuckoo crying for blood, but remained indifferent.
Yuan Li was caught off guard, and the Wei army on the other side responded even more closely. In just a moment, the front camp's 30,000-strong army was completely defeated?
The Fuluo dog thieves are even more hateful, and they just want to steal the way at this moment. It is like a blow to the head. How can they not cause the Chinese army to collapse?
Even if Chang Yi had the power to recover, when he was defeated and fled to Fuluo, Li Chengzhi had already crossed the Wei River...
Pei Sui felt that a disaster was coming, and he was shocked.
When he woke up from a dream, he suddenly realized: Chang Yi was so angry that he fainted?
All is over...
……
The sky broke at dawn, and a ray of dawn jumped out of the ground, reflecting thousands of golden lights.
The morning glow is like fire, as if it has been stained with blood.
The south bank of the Wei River is like a purgatory on earth, with fires, howls, and screams everywhere.
On the other hand, the north bank is as dense and orderly as a fortress.
The pontoon bridge has been built, and countless troops are rushing to the south bank like a tide.
This time Li Chengzhi did not let Li Shixian take the credit. After the pontoon bridge was built, he asked Li Zhang's artillery battalion to retreat to the rear camp. Then Li Chengzhi sent the Western Battalion to cross the river first, and ordered Da Xi to lead a battalion of Jingzhou soldiers to follow.
After that, he secretly gave instructions to Diao Zheng and gave some credit to Da Xi, otherwise it would be difficult to see Xi Kangsheng in the future.
Since sending troops to Luoyang, the Manchurian Communists in the Western Camp have only fought two battles: one was to lure the enemy deep into the Baili Beach, and then defeated Fuluo in one fell swoop. The other was to defeat Yuan Ji under Qingshui City.
In both cases, two battalions of Jingzhou soldiers and Li's tribe made meritorious deeds. Tens of thousands of soldiers from the Central Army and the state soldiers did not even fire a few more rounds of arrows. Therefore, judging the merits after the fact, no matter how Diao Zhengface was, he would not dare to do so.
Tell me what these two battles have to do with him.
During the discussion in the tent last night, when Li Chengzhi ordered Xiying to be sent as the vanguard, more than a dozen generals from Xiying almost cried with joy, starting from Diao Zheng.
Marshal Li finally remembered them?
Therefore, when the order was given at the third watch and the Western Camp was ordered to cross the river, tens of thousands of soldiers howled with excitement. When crossing the river, they were even more like crazy wolves. There were only three thousand vanguards, but Lanzi rushed over to the tens of thousands of Southern troops.
Unstoppable.
Less than half an hour later, Diao Zheng captured the south bank of the river beach. Tens of thousands of troops went straight to Guancheng and Chencang Valley Road.
At this point, the victory is determined.
For a time, the north bank roared like thunder, and the sound of "big victory" resounded throughout the countryside...
Looking at the large banner standing on the south bank, swaying slightly in the wind, and the flag with the word "Diao" under it, Li Shao couldn't help but sigh: "If Yu Zhong knew that the generals leading the army from the west would only be Yuan Zhi and Cui Zu.
Chi, and there is nothing cunning about it. Even the big bamboo stick is fake. I don’t know what you will think?"
After hearing the song and knowing its elegant meaning, how could Li Chengzhi not know that Li Shao was gently warning him?
You even dare to fake the emperor's festival, are you too brave?
Li Chengzhi was very disapproving: This is not the first time, why didn’t you persuade me earlier?
After sending troops to Luoyang, he left the real pole to Li Shao. Later, when he went to Woye, he secretly took away the pole that the young emperor had given to Yuan Yi for his northern tour, and temporarily changed it to a new pole.
Then he was awarded the title of Yuan Zhi, allowing him to swagger around the city, so that the rebels everywhere could not figure out the truth and dare not tell where Li Chengzhi was.
At that time, Li Shao was quite approving, saying that "soldiers are crafty", and this move was in line with the principles of military art...
It has only been a few days, why is Li Shao so repetitive?
I just want to remind Li Chengzhi: Now that the victory is determined, it can be called an unparalleled achievement. Don't act carelessly to avoid arousing the suspicion of the court...
But this is not the only taboo thing you have done?
As the saying goes, if you have too many debts, you don’t have to worry; if you have too many lice, you don’t need to itch...
Although he had such thoughts in his heart, Li Chengzhi followed suit: "It is often said that extraordinary things are done in extraordinary times, but this move is indeed quite taboo... I will definitely submit a petition to Her Majesty the Queen Mother afterwards to plead guilty..." p>
Seeing that he was very willing to speak, Li Shao was very pleased when he really listened:
"It's so good... We're fighting like this. I'm still worried that you don't know how to keep a low profile and only know how to be nepotistic. Then send me and Huaide across the river to attack the city... I will be relieved when you appoint Diao Zheng..."
Li Chengzhi nodded quickly: "What Uncle Shi said is true!"
Before, I had no choice but to use all my means. I would win as fast as I could and win as swiftly as I could.
But seeing that victory is in sight, and whether or not he uses firearms does not affect the overall situation, Li Chengzhi naturally understands the truth of Yun'ao hiding the pearl.
How many soldiers died in these battles?
And how can we make the people in the DPRK feel at ease afterwards?
Of course, I am afraid that the ministers in charge of the court are already uneasy, but at least they still have to make the gesture that they should do...
We were chatting like this, and before we knew it, it was already noon.
However, the sound of killing on the south bank was still there, and it was feared that it would continue for a while. Li Chengzhi suggested that he go to have a meal first, and it would not be too late to go up to the watchtower to watch the battle after the meal.
Yang Jun was really surprised: "Ah...dinner...at such a juncture, you are actually a little leisurely and elegant?"
What else can we do?
Anyway, the victory is already certain, it’s just a moment earlier or a moment later. Li Chengzhi has no hope of looking forward to it.
On the contrary, I thought why I should stand so high with my rice bowl and blow the cold wind, like a fool...
Li Shao glanced at Yang Jun, raised his hands and thanked: "The commander-in-chief will go on his own, I will wait for some dry food in the car. If there is any good news, I will send someone to invite the commander-in-chief..." p>
"If it's just good news, there's no need for it. When Diao Zheng captures Chencang and seizes the old road, it won't be too late to send someone to call me..."
Li Chengzhi went down to the tower and waved his hand, "After staying up for several days, I feel quite tired now, so after eating, I want to take a nap..."
Including Li Shao, Yang Jun, Li Shixian, etc., they were all stunned with shock, scorched on the outside and tender on the inside.
Seeing that he was about to make an immortal contribution and leave his name in history, Li Chengzhi not only had the time to eat but could also sleep during the fundraising period?
At the moment of surprise, Li Chengzhi had already descended from the watchtower. Seeing his back walking away, Yang Jun felt like a perfect match: "This is the style of a famous general..."
A famous general is a feather?
Li Shixian secretly slandered.
Just now he saw very clearly: it should be the defeated troops recruited by Diao Zheng from the south bank, and his troops brought Xue He, tens of thousands of them. At that time, Li Shixian glanced at it accidentally, and intuitively Li Chengzhi's eyes were like
Like a thief who stole a jewel...
This clearly inspired him to want to capture these captured soldiers.
Guessing in his mind, Li Shixian shook his head slightly when he met Li Shao's inquiring gaze, meaning that he didn't know why Li Chengzhi was like this.
Li Shao believed it to be true, and ordered everyone to bring drinks, dried meat and other food. The three of them ate and watched, having a great time...
"Remember, when you bring a group of people, you will collect them, and then organize them into civilian camps, and replace all the prisoners from Qinzhou and all the criminals. After the victory of Diao Zheng, the prisoners from Liangzhou will be replaced.
The people and Zhuang people will follow this example... When I go north, I will take all the people and Zhuang people away, and then take the opportunity to send them to Daqi to the west of the river..."
"Lang Jun, why do you need to go to such trouble?"
Li Liang was very puzzled, "It would be better to take all the captured Southern troops northward, wait until Bo Gu's law is pacified, use hands and feet at Gaoping, say they all died in battle, and then transport them to Daqi... Like this
, wouldn’t it be much easier?”
"Easy?"
Li Chengzhi chuckled, "Just ask Li Song!"
Li Song nodded in agreement: "But as Lang Jun said: It's probably not as easy to force the southerners to graze in the north as to force the chickens to go into the water... Just like I captured the Hu Yi in the West Sea, because I was afraid that they would use it.
They had no chance to escape, so most of them did not dare to let them graze. They could only let them cultivate fields and burn mines. But unexpectedly, more escaped than grazing? Therefore, at the moment, it is better to treat the people of Lingbei with the people of the north..." Li Liang suddenly realized: So this is the truth?
"In addition, before that, transport the remaining thunder weapons, kerosene, etc. to Beizhen as soon as possible... Remember, the sooner the better, it is best to leave tonight!"
I saw that Li Chengzhi's face was extremely solemn. He was even more cautious than when he was shocked to hear that Chang Yi led an army of 100,000 to Chencang. The uncle and nephew were shocked and suspicious.
Li Song asked in a low voice: "Lang Jun, where did the change occur?"
Li Chengzhi's eyes were as cold as a knife: "Three days ago, the imperial court secretly sent Yuan Hui to go up the Wei River with a secret decree. It will take three to five days at most to reach Guanzhong..."
Secretly dispatched?
Secret message?
Is the imperial court going to kill the donkey?
Li Song was startled and was about to ask when he suddenly heard a shout from outside the tent: "Commander, great victory: Governor Diao has taken Chencang Pass, killed the enemy commander Chang Yizhi, and captured the deputy commander Pei Sui..."
Li Chengzhi took a deep breath: "The dust has settled..."
