Chapter 93: Shoot the first bird! Wen Zhong’s army attacks Su Hu
While Zhang Zixing was diligently practicing the Yellow Emperor's Heart Sutra and Xuanyuan's Dragon Control Technique, a hundred thousand troops led by Grand Master Wen Zhong also entered the borders of Jizhou and finally set up camp ten miles away from Jizhou City.
A scout from Jizhou flew to report to Su Hu a long time ago. Since Su Hu became rebellious, he naturally made all preparations for war and asked: "Which prince is the commander?"
The scout replied: "The commander-in-chief is Grand Master Wen Zhong."
Su Hu's expression changed, he lowered his head and remained silent for a while before saying, "I didn't expect the Emperor to send Grand Master Wen here!"
When all the generals heard about the great master's reputation, they were all silent. Only Su Quanzhong, the eldest son of Su Hu, stepped forward and said: "As the saying goes, when soldiers come to stop them, water comes to cover them up. I heard that although the great master has a great reputation, he is already a veteran of three dynasties and is old.
He is no longer as brave as he used to be. My father is in his prime, and he has as many elite soldiers and generals as he has. I don’t think there is anything to be afraid of when I hear this!"
"How could my son underestimate the enemy so much!" Su Hu scolded: "You are young and ignorant, and you are arrogant about your bravery. How could you know that Grand Master Wen is so powerful! This Grand Master is proficient in martial arts, military strategies, and is also a disciple of Xiao Chang.
Xuanli has been highly used by three generations of kings, and has been conquered for many years, and its reputation is unparalleled. Now we are sitting in Jizhou. Although we are waiting for work, we must be cautious in everything. If there is even the slightest mistake, there will be a disaster of annihilation!"
Su Quanzhong was scolded by his father and did not dare to say anything. He lowered his head and retreated. Everyone was depressed when they suddenly heard the news: "Grain Supervisor Zheng Lun has arrived to transport grain and is waiting for orders outside the tent."
Su Hu summoned Zheng Lun inside and sighed: "If we have no plan to retreat from the enemy, even though we have this food, it will be of no use."
After Zheng Lun had delivered the grain and fodder, he asked: "When the general heard on the road that the prince was rebelling against trade, he was worried about his safety. He rushed back to supervise the grain at starry night. I don't know how the prince will win or lose?"
This Zheng Lun was outstanding in martial arts, had talents, and had acquired strange skills. He was always tabooed by Su Hu and was not allowed to reuse him. He was only a grain inspector in the rear and had no military power.
Now that he heard that the Grand Master's army was approaching, Su Hu intended to use Zheng Lun to resist for a while. He rolled his eyes and said with a worried look on his face: "The emperor is stupid and listened to Fei Zhong's slander. He insisted on going his own way, violated the ancestral teachings of Cheng Tang, and undermined the foundation of the princes without authorization.
The sky is angry and people are complaining. I was furious and said, "I will never go to Shang." Today, I heard that Taishi led an army of 100,000 to attack Jizhou, and everyone was afraid. I heard that Zhong was the great business god of the army, and he was powerful in all directions.
No one is an opponent, and there is only one way to defeat in the end. Although there are eight hundred princes in the world, there is no place for me, Su Hu! Why not kill your wife and children first, and then commit suicide, so that the future generations of the world will not make fun of you. You generals can pack your bags and
If you invest it somewhere else, I, Su Hu, can give you money and shells for transportation, and I will never stop you."
After Su Hu finished speaking, he cried uncontrollably, but he was watching Zheng Lun's reaction from the corner of his eyes. Zheng Lun had a very violent temper, and when he heard this, he shouted: "Is the Lord drunk today? Lost? Infatuated? Why did he say such unbearable words?
Not to mention Grand Master Wen, even if Jichang of Xibo, Jiang Huanchu of Donglu, Chongyu of Nanbo, and a total of eight hundred princes all came to Jizhou, they were not within the corner of my eyes, Zheng Lun. Why do you think you are so humble?
The last general has been greatly favored by the princes since he was a child. After he returned from West Kunlun after completing his art, he was also honored by Meng. The last general is willing to work with dogs and horses to help the princes defeat the enemy."
Su Hu deliberately frowned and said to the generals: "General Zheng has been working hard to collect food. Could it be that he encountered some evil spirit and talked like this? Not only are there eight hundred princes in the world, but this is the only one who heard that the Grand Master is the master of Jiejiao.
The Taoist teachings you teach will shock the gods and ghosts, and you have hidden strategies in your chest that make you invincible. What ability do you have, and how can you despise this person?"
As expected, Zheng Lun couldn't stand the provocation. After hearing this, he pressed his sword and shouted: "Your Majesty is on top. If the last general is not captured alive, Wen Zhong comes to see him and takes his head in front of all the generals!"
Seeing that Zheng Lun was about to rush out of the tent to meet the enemy, Su Hu quickly said: "Wait a minute! I am deeply relieved that the general is determined. However, the enemy army is coming with a fierce force and cannot be defeated. I have made a plan in my mind, and the general will have his own big plans by then.
It’s time to show your divine power.”
Su Quanzhong couldn't help but asked: "I wonder what my father has in mind?"
Su Hu glanced at Su Quanzhong, as if he was annoyed that his son could not keep his temper. When he saw the earnest eyes of the generals, he showed a confident look and said: "The enemy has come from a long way, and the saddle and horse must have been tired, and the generals will be tired. Our army is waiting for work."
, just to catch him off guard."
Zhao Bing, the first deputy general, praised: "Your Majesty's plan is brilliant! You can send out a large army to take advantage of their unpreparedness. They have a number of men, pick off the bridles of their horses, secretly rob the camp, and kill the Grand Master Wen, leaving no trace of his armor alive. Let him also
You know how powerful Jizhou’s soldiers and horses are!”
Su Hu nodded and said: "This is exactly what I want! Zhao Bing, I will order you to lead three thousand elite cavalry to rob the camp at the beginning of the day. Su Quanzhong will lead another two thousand troops and horses to ambush separately. After Zhao Bing enters the enemy camp, he will
The rear camp rushed in and burned the enemy's food and grass; Zheng Lun led his three thousand soldiers and horses to cover up the fleeing enemies, and made preparations to meet the two generals. If this plan is successful, Jizhou will have no worries!"
The three generals received the order, but each of them made no preparations.
At night, Zhao Bing secretly mobilized his troops out of the city and secretly marched toward the merchant camp. Su Quanzhong's troops took a detour to ambush, and Zheng Lun led three thousand crow soldiers from his headquarters to respond.
When the first watch came, Zhao Bing got the torch as a signal, and immediately shouted together, and 3,000 elite cavalry rushed straight into the enemy camp.
After three thousand fine cavalry rushed into the camp, they found that there was no one in each tent. Zhao Bing knew that he had been tricked and was about to retreat. Suddenly he heard a bang and there were shouts of killing all around. He was surrounded by a large number of troops and horses, among whom there was one
A female general rode out to fight. This female general was dressed in plain clothes, wore a silver crown with hair tied on her head, and held two swords. She was very beautiful.
"I am the rebellious general Gao Lanying!" the female general shouted to Zhao Bing: "You clowns, how dare you sneak attack and rob the camp! But you don't know that this little trick has been seen by the grand master a long time ago, and he was captured without hesitation!"
Zhao Bing knew that he would not be lucky today, so he hesitated and did not answer. He swung his long-handled sword and killed Gao Lanying. Gao Lanying did not rush, dodged several of his desperate swords, held the sword pole with one sword, and then
At the moment when the two horses crossed each other, their delicate bodies were slightly sideways, and the other knife slipped diagonally, and they used a solution, cutting upward along the knife shaft, and immediately cut off the five fingers of Zhao Bing's right hand holding the handle of the knife. The ten fingers were connected to the heart.
, Zhao Bing was heartbroken and was about to turn his horse's head and run away, but Gao Lanying caught up with him and killed him with another knife. Soon after, all the three thousand fine cavalry accompanying him were also beheaded.
Su Quanzhong, who went to the back camp to burn food and grass, was also ambushed. The leaders were Ji Li and Yu Qing, disciples of Taishi Wen. To their surprise, Su Quanzhong, instead of running away timidly, actually came to kill him. Su Quanzhong had always prided himself on his martial arts.
Hearing that the Grand Master was powerful, I had already suppressed my energy. Although I was attacked today, I was not frightened. I was determined to kill the enemy general with my martial arts and establish my authority.
Su Quanzhong shook the silver-pointed halberd in his hand and used all the martial arts he had learned in daily life. Although Ji Li was taught by Wen Zhong, what he learned was mainly Taoluo strategy, but he was not the best at martial arts. He was killed by Su Quanzhong in cold sweat.
, Yu Qing saw that the situation was not good, and swung his spear, two against one. Su Quanzhong braced himself, and the halberd was like a violent storm. For a time, the shadows of the halberd were in all directions, completely suppressing Ji Li and Yu Qing.
Su Quanzhong glanced at an opening, feinted a halberd at Ji Li, and then turned toward Yu Qing like lightning. Yu Qing couldn't dodge and was hit in the thigh, falling off his horse. Su Quanzhong was about to take Yu Qing's life, but was tightly entangled by Ji Li.
Yu Qing quickly grabbed a handful of soil from the ground, threw it into the air, and escaped using the soil escape technique.
Su Quanzhong used his killing moves to defeat Ji Li, and when he led his troops to break through to the gate of the rear camp, he suddenly saw a horse in front of him like smoke under the lights, rushing towards him quickly, and he couldn't help being surprised. He came and held the black-armored long sword,
He has a majestic appearance, riding a black horse on his crotch, and there is a strange little sarcoma on the horse's head.
"I am attacking the vanguard officers Zhang Kui and Su Quanzhong. Why don't you dismount and surrender?"
"You nameless man, suffer death!" Su Quanzhong defeated Ji Li and Yu Qing. He didn't take Zhang Kui seriously and rode his horse towards Zhang Kui. Unexpectedly, Zhang Kui's horse turned out to be unexpectedly fast.
When he was in front of Su Quanzhong, he swiped the long knife in his hand and cut off Su Quanzhong's helmet. Su Quanzhong was frightened out of his wits. He dared to look down on him. He used all his knowledge to fight with Zhang Kui.
Su Quanzhong, who was surrounded, had no intention of fighting, and his halberd skills gradually became chaotic. He wanted to use a "returning spear" when he was defeated, but he was frightened by the speed of the dark horse and did not dare to use it. Fortunately, Zheng Lun, who was outside to respond, arrived in time, and the two sides had a melee.
, the Jizhou army fought and retreated, and was finally defeated in the city. When Su Hu learned that the robbery of the camp failed and Zhao Bing was defeated, he felt depressed and regretted it.
But in the main camp of the Shang Army, Wen Zhong was full of praise for Zhang Kui and Gao Lanying: "The Xian couple are indeed very capable! I didn't expect that a mere Mianchi County could have such great talents. If it weren't for His Majesty's discerning eye, I would have almost missed two of them."
A famous general!"
Zhang Kui and Gao Lanying said a few words of humility, and they were really grateful to the emperor for their kindness. Zhang Kui and Gao Lanying were talents specially discovered by Zhang Zixing. Although these two people did not have high official positions, they were very capable. They conquered the five passes in Jiang Ziya.
The momentum was so overwhelming that it was blocked by the Mianchi County guarded by the couple. They also damaged the "Five Mountains" including Huang Feihu and Chong Heihu. Even Deng Chanyu and Tu Xingsun were killed by the couple. Later, it was Yang Jian.
He used the magic of transformation to destroy Zhang Kui's mount, the One-Horned Black Smoke Beast, and used a poison trick to kill Zhang Kui's mother, leaving Zhang Kui in a state of confusion. Finally, he and his wife Gao Lanying died together with Yang Jian, Wei Hu, Lei Zhenzi, and Yang Ren.
Under the combined attack of Nezha and others, the strength is evident.
This time, Zhang Zixing asked the two of them to follow Wen Zhong to conquer Su Hu. In addition to considering the importance of the expedition itself, it also created conditions for the future promotion of the two. The ancients attached great importance to the kindness of being promoted to an acquaintance, especially Zhang Zixing.
The emperor personally appointed the two of them, and also deliberately made Zhang Kui's mother a high-ranking lady, enjoying a salary, living in Chaoge and receiving blessings, which made the couple determined to repay the emperor's kindness to the death.
"Although we won for a while today, the foundation of Jizhou was not damaged. The Xian couple will go to rest first. Tomorrow, we will rely on your ability to destroy the rebels."
Zhang Kui was well aware of the prestige and Taoist skills of the Grand Master, so he saluted and said: "How dare I show off my meager skills in front of a master like the Grand Master! The Grand Master only has to do his job, and the general and his wife should work hard to repay the emperor's favor."
!”
Wen Zhong nodded happily and said: "We, the generals, are united and the three armies are working together, and the great defeat of Jizhou is just around the corner!"
