Chapter 1198: Chen Qingzhi VS Guo Fengxiao

Not long ago, Han Fu and Yuan Shao attacked Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng respectively. The Chen and Zhang families were defeated and retreated, so they decided to recall the 20,000 troops who had aided the Southern Allied Forces.

For the 150,000-strong Southern Alliance Army, although 20,000 troops are not many, they are not too small. The most important thing is that Wang Mang cannot do without Chen Qingzhi and Chen Baxian, so naturally he will not let Chen Zhang's 20,000 troops leave easily. go.

Although Wang Mang didn't want to let Chen Qingzhi and Chen Ba leave first, Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youliang's orders had been issued. Wang Mang was neither their lord nor had anything to do with them. Naturally, there was no excuse for keeping the two of them. Forcibly detaining them would only make the relationship between the three of them more rigid.

Just when Wang Mang was in a dilemma, news came that Long Qie had killed Wang Shichong, and then news came that Long Yang had captured Huguan.

 Huguan fell and the road from Bingzhou to Jizhou was blocked. Now even if Wang Mang agreed to Er Chen's departure, Er Chen would not be able to go back.

After all, Chen Youliang was Er Chen's brother, and Er Chen was very determined to leave. Wang Mang naturally understood that he could not be retained by force, so he decided to send Chen Qingzhi to attack Shangdang and Huguan, which meant that if he wanted to go back, he could do it himself Call back.

If Chen Qingzhi really recaptures Shangdang and Huguan, it will be equivalent to Wang Mang solving his worries. Even if he leaves by then, Wang Mang will know that if he didn't recapture it, he can't blame Wang Mang for not letting them go. It's yourselves. Disappointing.

I have to say that Wang Mang's abacus was really shrewd. It was obvious that he had sold Chen Qingzhi, but Chen Qingzhi was still helping Wang Mang count the money, taking advantage without offending both parties.

Although Wang Mang only gave Chen Qingzhi 40,000 troops, this was not because he was stingy, but because he was afraid that if he gave more, the frontline army would not be able to withstand the Qin army's offensive.

For the Southern Alliance Army, the biggest enemy is Qin Hao. Once the frontline army cannot stop the Qin Army and is defeated, even if Chen Qingzhi defeats Long and recaptures Shangdang and Huguan, it will be meaningless.

The fall of Shangdang and Huguan led to the loss of nearly 10,000 soldiers of the Southern Alliance, and Chen Qingzhi took away another 40,000 troops. This also reduced the number of troops in Wang Mang's hands to 100,000, but he had to fight against 130,000 armed to the teeth. The Qin army.

The pressure in Wang Mang's heart was unprecedentedly high, but at this point, he had no way of turning back. No matter he won or lost, he had to carry on.

　　——————

 After Chen Qingzhi and Guo Tai led their troops to leave, they did not attack Huguan immediately. Instead, they chose to concentrate their forces to besiege Changzi City, the Shangdang Administration Office.

After Long Qie divided his troops to attack other Shangdang cities, he also reduced the strength of Changzi City. At this time, there were only 10,000 defenders in Changzi City.

Wang Shichong is quite supported by the Shangdang family, especially the remaining eight Shanxi merchant families, who seem to have been tied to the Southern Alliance.

 Chen Qingzhi originally thought that the aristocratic families in Changzi City would help him open the city gate and fight against the Ming army, but he far underestimated the deterrent power of the Ming army to the aristocratic families.

Both the Yellow Turbans and the Ming Dynasty relied on massacring aristocratic families to fight against the Han Dynasty. Thousands of aristocratic families were massacred, which made the Ming army the most feared force among the aristocratic families in the world.

Although the aristocratic families in the eldest son city were dissatisfied with the Ming army's occupation of Shangdang, they did not dare to help the coalition forces fight against the Ming army. If they failed, the entire family would be killed. Even if they succeeded, they would face endless pursuit by the Ming army's Jianghu forces. Wang Mang obviously couldn't save the lives of his family.

Although the Ming army now occupies most of Shangdang, it is rare that they do not take the initiative to massacre the aristocratic families. If the Ming army does not provoke the aristocratic families, the aristocratic families will already pray to gods and worship Buddha, so naturally they do not dare to take the initiative to offend the Ming army.

Seeing that the Shangdang family was so peaceful, Long Qie was satisfied and at the same time couldn't help but secretly thought it was a pity. He was already ready to go on a killing spree, but he didn't expect these families to be so spineless.

As usual, the first thing the Ming army did after seizing the city was to investigate the crimes of the aristocratic family and then do justice for heaven. But this time before Long Qie sent troops, Emperor Ming asked him not to take the initiative to attack the aristocratic family. Although Long Qie was puzzled by this, But it can only be obeyed. Chen Qingzhi saw that the city could not be opened from the inside, so he planned to attack Changzi City, but he arranged an ambush on the only way between Changzi and Huguan, and spread rumors that Changzi City was in danger, preparing to attack Long Yang of Huguan. Come to a surrounding area to call for reinforcements.

Long Yang of Huguan had 20,000 troops. Seeing that Chen Qingzhi's 40,000 troops were besieging Changzi City, while his brother Long Qie only had 10,000 troops. However, the situation at Changzi City was very critical, so he prepared to divide his troops with 10,000 troops. Support brother.

Seeing this, Guo Jia, a military officer disguised as Jia Guo, smiled and persuaded: "General Long, don't be anxious. Although Long Qie only has 10,000 troops in the Changzi City, the Changzi City has thick walls and various defensive equipment. Chen Qingzhi only has With an army of 40,000, General Long Qie would have no problem holding on for three months.

This is just an opportunity for Chen Qingzhi to lure the tiger away from the mountain. I predict that Chen Qingzhi will set up an ambush halfway. Once the general leaves the city, he will fall into the trap. "

【Ding dong, Guo Jia's skill "Ghost Talent" is activated. When serving as a strategist, the commander's intelligence will be increased by 13 points, Long Yang's intelligence will be +3, and Long Yang's current intelligence is 73. 】

"What?"

Long Yang was shocked when he heard this. In his opinion, Jia Guonai was a famous wise man in the Ming Dynasty. His position and prestige were much higher than his own, so he would not be blind. He had already said so. It seemed that this was indeed Chen Qingzhi's plan. .

"In this case, I won't leave the city." Long Yang said in a deep voice.

"No."

A cold light flashed in Guo Jia's eyes, and he said with a faint smile: "It is precisely because he knew that Chen Qingzhi had set up an ambush that he had to divide his troops to support Changzi City. The general could just pretend not to know, and then defeat Chen Qingzhi's ambush in one fell swoop."

Long Yang couldn't help but his eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "The military advisor has a good plan."

Long Yang acted according to Guo Jia's plan and led an army of ten thousand to the eldest son. On the way, he saw frightened birds and did not dare to leave the forest. He knew that there was an enemy ambush ahead.

So Long Yang slowed down his march, and at the same time divided his troops and went back behind the opponent, preparing to attack the ambush from two sides.

Long Jun's luck was not good. This time Chen Qingzhi came in person. When he saw that the Ming army had slowed down its march, he guessed that it might have been exposed, so he decisively ordered a retreat.

When Long Yang saw that the enemy had discovered his intention, he immediately gave up the flanking attack and pursued Zhuang with all his strength. He defeated Chen Qingzhi in one fell swoop and killed nearly three thousand enemy troops.

Long Yang kept Guo Jia's advice in mind and did not continue to expand the results after the victory and continued to go to the eldest son. Instead, he led the army back to Huguan.

 Chen Qingzhi saw that Long Yang was so cautious and knew that it might not be that easy to capture Huguan in a short time, so he returned to Changzi City to prepare for a steady attack.

Today is really an unusual day. Zhang Ruoyun, Tang Yixin got married, Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo divorced, Li Chen and Fan Bingbing broke up. They all made headlines separately, but they were all squeezed into this day.
