Chapter 96 095 [From now on, the world will be wider]

Jingzhou, Pingyang City.

The Dudu Mansion, which used to be extremely busy in the past, seemed very quiet today.

In the empty festival hall, Li Tianrun sat alone on the Taishi chair, staring at the map of Jiangbei hanging on the west wall, with obvious bloodshot eyes.

Li Liangyu walked in quickly, came closer and saluted respectfully: "Father, Commander-in-Chief."

Li Tianrun's eyes still stayed on the map and said calmly: "Have the news been sent back from all places?"

There was obvious joy on Li Liangyu's face, and he changed from his usual calmness and said eagerly: "Yes. As expected, part of the troops were transferred from the Puppet Yanjiang North Road, and the enemy had no choice but to shrink the defense line. Our army frequently deployed with 1 people By using a mobile and suspicious formation, the enemy was firmly suppressed on the defense line and did not dare to try to contact our army at all."

"very good."

Li Tianrun picked up the tea cup at hand. The tea was already cold, but he didn't care.

Li Liangyu continued: "The same is true here on Moyang Road. Forty thousand troops under Chen Xiaokuan's command were withdrawn, and the defense line was also stretched. This person was cautious and cautious. Not only did he withdraw the defense line for dozens of miles, he also built a wall on the border to clear the field to prevent our army from suddenly Go north and attack.”

Li Tianrun smiled faintly and asked, "How are the conditions of each army?"

Li Liangyu replied: "After the previous tentative attack, the four generals Fan Wending, Huo Zhen, Xu Gui, and Zhang Zhan have all led their troops to the designated position and launched an intersecting attack at the same time today."

Li Tianrun slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, stood up and walked to the sand table, looking at the more than ten special marks on it, as if there was a clanging iron cavalry in his eyes.

He pondered: "Bingxue should have passed Yingze City by now, right?"

Li Liangyu nodded and said, "Yes, handsome father."

Li Tianrun turned to look at his eldest son and said with a smile: "My father knows that you actually envy your sister in your heart. Maybe you don't understand why your father wants to leave you in the Governor's Mansion to do some document work."

Li Liangyu was startled for a moment, then shook his head and said: "Commander father, my son knows his own abilities. He is far inferior to his sister in leading troops to fight. Staying in the Governor's Mansion is the right way to do things."

"You have a delicate mind and are good at logistics. The preparations you made for the armies this time are very appropriate, allowing the soldiers to go into battle and kill the enemy without any distractions. This is the most suitable field for you. Everyone has his own destiny, so there is no need to force it." Li Tianrun He said kindly.

Li Liangyu agreed with a smile.

Li Tianrun added: "It's just...maybe there really is a genius in this world."

Li Liangyu looked slightly puzzled.

Li Tianrun said slowly: "Do you know who wrote the strategy for this battle?"

Li Liangyu asked curiously: "Isn't it planned by Governor Xiao?"

Li Tianrun said with a smile but not a smile: "Brother Xiao will not be so crazy in using troops. This battle strategy was proposed by a prosecutor named Lu Chen under his command. Brother Xiao just modified it slightly. You should have heard Bingxue mention it. This Lu Chen, in the previous battle of Guangling, it was he who cooperated with Bingxue to achieve a hearty victory, and this man is not yet 20 years old this year."

Li Liangyu was stunned.

Li Tianrun sighed: "There are talented people from generation to generation. But that's fine. Daqi needs young people like you to emerge one after another. We can't just rely on old guys like us."

Li Liangyu couldn't help but think of the young man his sister Li Bingxue mentioned some time ago.

He still remembers it very clearly. When his sister talked about each other, there was a bright look in her eyes.

……

"Whoosh!"

Under the scorching sun, thousands of horses were galloping on the vast land. The young female general at the head opened her bow and nocked an arrow. She clamped the horse's belly with her slender legs and shot out an arrow in an instant, hitting a general in the Yan army ahead. .

Even if the arrows are raining like locusts.

Everyone in the Feiyu camp is good at riding and shooting, hence the name, and they are no less impressive than the Jingchao cavalry.

The Yan army fled in panic, causing many casualties.

Although they still had 6000 or [-] men, they were defeated head-on by the Southern Qi Guangji Army in the previous head-to-head encounter and could only retreat north.

The Guangji army did not pursue them. These Yan soldiers were rejoicing after running for dozens of miles, but Feiyuying followed them. Under the leadership of the young female general, they were like maggots on the tarsus, killing them until they lost all morale.

To the east is the towering Juul Mountain, and further away is the continuous twin-peaked mountain range.

The Yan army fought and retreated towards the north. Shanggao City was more than ten miles ahead.

Now that Yingze City has fallen, the only hope for their defeated army is to get support from the Shanggao defenders.

The desire to survive suddenly surged. Faced with Fei Yuying's shadowy pursuit, the Yan army managed to hold on tenaciously and approached Shanggaocheng with difficulty.

General Shanggao, who had already received the message for help, did not stupidly open the city gate directly, but personally led his troops to form a car camp outside the city.

The Qi army that followed only had a few thousand cavalry and could not break through the solid car camp outside the city. At most, they would have to stay in a stalemate for a while and then leave. Then he could collect the defeated troops and return to the city.

Fei Yuying suddenly slowed down, as if he knew how powerful the traffic formation outside the city was.

The defeated Yan army was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief and successfully entered the protection range of the chariot array.

At this moment, Feiyuying, which had already slowed down, increased its speed again. Instead of moving straight forward, it made an arc to the west, as if it was going to attack the side of the vehicle formation.

General Shang Gao couldn't help but show a hint of ridicule, as if the other party was seeking death.

Li Bingxue held a two-foot-long horse spear in hand and took the lead as always.

"kill!"

The cry of killing suddenly sounded in the east.

Yan Jun's expression suddenly changed, and the guard turned his head to look, with a look of panic suddenly appearing in his eyes.

I saw an elite Qi army suddenly appear from the northeast of Shanggao City. You must know that Shanggao is within the territory of Moyang Road, not the border. The north is your own territory, and the east is the continuous twin-peak mountain range. Why? Will a Qi army appear behind them?
Thousands of Qi troops surged forward, and three words were written on the big flag in the formation: Guangling Army!
The guard's brain seemed to be at a standstill at this moment. How could the Huaizhou Guangling Army on the other side of the mountains suddenly arrive? There were clearly troops of our own stationed at this end of the ancient road.

"General! General!" the soldiers shouted anxiously.

The defender finally came to his senses, and the only explanation was that the Guangling army took the initiative to attack, defeated the defenders at the exit of the ancient road, and then rushed towards Gaocheng.

"Go back to the city!" the guard roared at the top of his lungs.

However it was too late.

The sharp rain of arrows from Feiyu Camp made it impossible for the Yan army to leave the protection of the car array. The Guangling army that rushed forward was as powerful as a mad tiger. The two young captains Liu Tongzhao and Ning Yong became more brave after experiencing the baptism of the Guangling battle. He led his soldiers into the Yan army's formation without hesitation.

After more than half an hour, the fighting was over.

Shanggaocheng fell into the hands of the Qi army.

On top of the city, Duan Zuozhang, whose blood-stained uniform was on his blood-stained uniform, walked quickly. After greeting Li Bingxue, he said, "Captain Li, our army will be responsible for assisting your troops in continuing their march north." Li Bingxue cupped her fists and saluted, "Thank you, General Duan." .”

She hesitated.

When Duan Zuozhang saw this, he whispered: "Lu Chen is now the Inspector-General of the Governor's Mansion. He is probably fighting with the army somewhere in the north."

Li Bingxue nodded and thanked her, then raised her eyes to look at the sky to the north, with a hint of strong will in her eyes.

Just talking about meritorious service on the battlefield, I can't lose to you.

……

Shanggaocheng is more than three hundred miles north, northeast of Beiyan Moyang Road.

There is a small military stronghold here, with hundreds of soldiers stationed there. To the east is the northern foot of the Shuangfeng Mountains, and dozens of miles away is the Panlong Pass guarding the main road in Southern Qi.

The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and everyone was feeling a little downhearted. The team leader was sitting in the shade with a few close friends, and the summer breeze that blew from time to time barely brought some coolness.

"It seems a little too quiet recently." Qi Zheng said lazily.

A soldier joked: "The fighting in the north of Huaizhou is so fierce. How can the Qi army in Panlong Pass dare to come out? If our people don't go there, they should be thankful."

The team is noncommittal. The fighting is now concentrated between the northeastern direction of Huaizhou in Nanqi and Dongyang Road. Moyang Road is relatively calm.

I heard that there were several battles fought in the south on the border with Jingzhou, but the thunder was heavy and the rain was light.

Thinking of this, he said leisurely: "I don't know if the Dongyang Road side can win -"

The words stopped suddenly, and Team Zheng suddenly stood up and turned to look northeast.

The sound of horse hooves sounded like thunder, coming from far to near.

The others also stood up quickly, and then their expressions changed drastically.

A group of cavalry rushed towards them at great speed. What made the defenders even more panicked was that the enemy was clearly wearing the armor of the Qi army.

"Defend the enemy!"

The team was shouting anxiously and horrifiedly, but this military stronghold was just a node on the road, and it was far behind Moyang Road, so it had no ability to resist strong enemies.

A moment later, the Qi army's cavalry jumped over the half-man-high village wall like a strong wind, broke into the Yan army, and charged left and right to kill.

Only then did the team see clearly that the leader of the opponent was two young men, a man and a woman. They were holding almost identical long-handled sabers, and they were chopping melons and vegetables along the way.

He picked up his sword and commanded his men to resist, and asked people to escape immediately to report the news. However, surrounded by the Qi army's cavalry, he could only watch the soldiers around him fall one after another, or simply abandon their weapons and surrender.

He suddenly opened his eyes wide and stared at the north, only to see countless elite infantry of the Qi army appearing in the distance.

There are countless people all over the mountains and plains!
The moment he fell, the team leader had only one thought in his mind: Moyang Road was over.

The battle ended quickly. Lu Chen took off the water bag hanging next to the horse's belly, came to Lin Xi and handed it over.

Lin Xi did not take it immediately after taking it, but asked softly: "Are we going all the way south next?"

Lu Chen nodded, glanced at the advancing Zhenbei Army and Lai'an Army in the distance, and said with a smile: "We are going from north to south, and the Jingzhou armies are going from south to north. Taking advantage of the lack of troops under Chen Xiaokuan's command, At least half of Moyang Road must be taken over."

His tone was very calm, but Lin Xi could hear the overwhelming pride in it.

So she laughed too.

……

A few days later, northeast of Huaizhou.

Outside Qingtian City, there is a large tent of the Qi army.

Yuan Xingqin, the commander of the Huwei Army, reported: "Grand Governor, more and more enemy cavalry have been spotted near Yongfeng Road in the past two days. The general estimates that the puppet Yan army has been assembled, and they should be testing the details of our army. , and then seek an opportunity to fight our army outside the city."

The evidence of Xu Wen's collusion with the enemy and treason is conclusive. The Weaving Department has closed the net in Lai'an City and arrested all the people in the Beiyan Procuratorate who had contact with Xu Wen.

Yuan Xingqin had no objection to this. Although he didn't have much favorable impressions of the border troops, he knew which side he should stand on when it came to important matters.

However, until now, he still didn't know what medicine was sold in Xiao Wangzhi's gourd, which would inevitably make him uncomfortable.

If Xiao Wangzhi wanted to send reinforcements outside Qingtian City, he should not have given Xu Wen the opportunity to pass on information.

Moreover, he has not seen the shadow of the Zhenbei Army and other troops until now. Those elite divisions seem to be hiding in the rear.

Yuan Xingqin secretly speculated that Xiao Wangzhi had made up his mind to consume all the three armies of Nanya here?

But judging from past cases, the Governor of Huaizhou is not such a sinister person.

No matter what, he must figure out Xiao Wangzhi's plan today so that he can be worthy of the tens of thousands of soldiers of the Beijing Army.

Xiao Wangzhi turned to look at the tiger general of the Beijing army and said seriously: "General Yuan has worked hard during this period."

Yuan Xingqin shook his head and said: "The Governor must not do this. This is the duty that a general should fulfill."

Xiao Wangzhi's expression became gentler and he said slowly: "This battle is of great importance. I did not deliberately hide it from the general. In fact, Chen Lanyu and others only knew the whole story before setting off."

Yuan Xingqin keenly caught the word "departure" and his heart suddenly moved.

Since the elite units of the Huaizhou Army have been dispatched but have not come to the northern front line, where have they gone?

Xiao Wangzhi smiled and said: "The Zhenbei Army and other troops first went south, then turned west from Panlong Pass and attacked the heart of the Pseudo-Yan Moyang Road. By this time, they should have already attacked the city and headed south. "

Yuan Xingqin was stunned, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. He couldn't help but admired with a complicated expression: "That's it."

Xiao Wangzhi didn't explain much. He stood up and said, "General Yuan, we can go back home."

Yuan Xingqin said: "Return to the security line?"

Xiao Wangzhi smiled, his sharp gaze seemed to be able to penetrate all the obstacles, and landed on Tongshan City in the north. He said leisurely: "Actually, I am also very curious. Why do people like Chen Jingtang and Zhang Junsi firmly believe that I must We will have to fight them outside Qingtian City. But it is good now. With more than [-] troops nestled in Tongshan City, it will at least be very lively."

Yuan Xingqin couldn't laugh or cry.

A military order was quickly spread to all camps of the Qi army.

"Withdraw!"
