Vol 2 Chapter 2931: Qin Zheng suffered a series of defeats and Yuan Gaisuwen

Chapter 2931 Qin Zheng’s consecutive defeats Yuan Gaisuwen

Kumamoto Castle, inside the castle lord’s palace.

Looking at the extremely embarrassed Yuan Gai Suwen below who was bandaged and with wounds on his face, Wang Mang suppressed the anger in his heart and asked: "General Yuan Gai, with your strength, how did you do it in three days?" Was defeated by Qin Zheng twice in a row? "

As for Yuan Gaisuwen, a regicide official who fought against many famous generals such as Li Ji, Li Daozong, Liu Rengui, and Su Dingfang during the periods of Emperor Taizong and Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty. Although he lost more than he won, he still had the courage to show his sword. , Wang Mang has always used it and defended it.

It doesn't work. Sanhan only has so many talents, and Yeon Gae So-moon is already the top among them. Without him, Wang Mang has no one else available.

Wang Mang himself had been a powerful minister, so naturally he would not give his subordinates a chance to seize power. Yuan Gaisuwen, who had been forbearing at first, was now being manipulated, and was completely convinced by Wang Mang.

Wang Mang knew that although Yuengai Suwen was brave, he was also quite strategic and was by no means a reckless man, so he was even more curious about how Qin Zheng managed to let Yuengai Suwen fall into the trap twice in a row without even showing his face.

When Yeon Gaesumun heard this, he told the story of how he fell into the trap with an aggrieved face. It turned out that on the way to Junyoshi Castle, he learned that his envoy had said that the surrender was successful, and the city lord Shimazu Suijiu was ready to surrender the city. information.

But then news came back that Qin Zheng had seen through Shimazu's intentions and had personally led troops to suppress it, so Yeon Gaisumun was needed to rescue him.

If there was only the first piece of news, Yeon Gaesumun would naturally believe it, but coupled with the latter piece, it made him a little doubtful. After all, it was too normal to fake a surrender on the battlefield.

Although Engaisubun had doubts in his heart, he didn't believe it at all. After all, the lord of Hitoyoshi Castle, Shimazu Hisashi, was the younger brother of Shimazu Yoshihisa and Shimazu Yoshihiro, and both of them had conquered Japan before. Killed in battle.

Of course, this is not the point. The point is that after the death of Yoshihisa and Yoshihiro, Suijiu, his younger brother, should have succeeded him. However, under the forced support of Da Qin, the position of the family governor was finally passed to the fourteenth-year-old Shimazu Tadahashi. Year old children inherited.

Shimazu Tadahashi's life experience is also very complicated. He is the third son of Shimazu Yoshihiro. However, since Shimazu Yoshihiro had no sons, he and his second brother Shimazu Kubo were adopted and given to their uncle as adopted sons. Later, the two brothers became even more They both married the daughter of Shimazu Yoshihisa, who was also his cousin.

In terms of status, as the son of Yoshihiro and the adopted son and son-in-law of Yoshihisa, Shimazu Tadahashi is more qualified than Suiku.

But the problem was that the Shimazu family had just experienced a major defeat at this time, and two family governors had died in succession. Zhongheng was only fourteen years old and still a half-grown child, and could not handle such a complicated situation at all.

On the other hand, Shimazu is older, and although he is not as good as his two brothers, his ability and skills are not bad.

Therefore, from a practical point of view, Shimazu Noihisa is the best candidate to succeed the family governor, and he has also won the unanimous support of the family and retainers.

If nothing unexpected happened, Shimazu would definitely succeed him as the family governor, but the unexpected happened.

Under the forced intervention of Da Qin, Zhongheng succeeded to the throne at the age of fourteen, and Shimazu had no chance of becoming the governor of the family for a long time.

Yeon Gaesubun felt that anyone with this kind of experience would be resentful towards Da Qin, so although he didn't fully believe it, he still decided to verify it. After all, even if Shimazu Tokujiu really pretended to surrender, there wouldn't be any flaws. nothing.

Yeon Gae Suwen was very confident. He felt that as long as he was cautious enough, he would not fall into the trap, and he could even use the trap to trick the other party. However, the cruel fact hit him hard in the face, and in the end even Qin Zheng's Without even seeing her face to face, Shimazu pushed him to the ground and rubbed him.

When Yuan Gaisuwen arrived at Renji City, there was a lot of fighting in the city, and the Qin army outside the city was also rushing into the city. It was as if Qin Zheng had arrived in advance and had already invaded the city with the help of the people inside the city.

Yeon Gaesumun made many observations and found no flaws. At this time, the south gate opened wide again, and the defeated army escaped from inside.

Yeon Gaesumun verified it again from the defeated army, and then he completely let go of his doubts, so he immediately led his army into the city to support Shimazu Suiku.

But after taking the lead and charging into the city, Yeon Gaesumun quickly discovered something was wrong. Although the fighting looked very similar, the smell of blood was not strong. What kind of fight was this? It was obviously a trap specially set for him.

Yeon Gaesumun immediately ordered a halt to the advance and the entire army withdrew from the city. Fortunately, they were discovered in time, and the number of troops entering the city was not too large, but it was obviously not that easy to withdraw.

Just after Yeon Gaesumun's order was conveyed, the city gate at the rear suddenly fell down, directly cutting off Wang Mang's army.

Yeon Gaesomun and nearly 2,000 troops were trapped in the city. Although the other 5,000 troops were blocked outside the city, they fell into command chaos because they had no leader.

At this moment, a large number of archers appeared on the streets in the city, and the Qin army outside the city was divided into two, attacking Wang Mang's army from the east and west directions.

"Yeongae Suwen, you have fallen into the trap of my family's governor."

Yeon Gaesumun, who appeared on the tower, looked down and sneered: "It's not too late to surrender now."

Looking at Shimazu Suijiu on the tower, Yuangaisu Wen could not hide his anger and shouted: "Shimazu Suijiu, you turtle bastard, Da Qin killed your two brothers and robbed you of the position of governor of the family. , you have such sworn hatred, but you still want to work for the Qin Dynasty and deceive me by pretending to surrender. Are you a man? "

Shimazu's face changed after hearing this. After carefully looking at the Qin Zheng envoy beside him, he shouted in response: "Yuan Gaisuwen, you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. Brother, he died in the storm. The second brother committed suicide after being captured alive by Sun Ce. What does their death have to do with Da Qin?

As for snatching the position of the family governor, that is even more nonsense. Mijumaru is the recognized successor of the Shimazu family. I, Shimazu, have been my uncle for many years and compete with my nephew for the position of the family governor. Isn’t that just a beast? You say so. It's insulting to me. "

Hearing what Shimazu Saiku said, the envoys of Daqin beside him, namely Mijumaru and Shimazu Tadashi, suddenly showed a satisfied smile. That's right, Shimazu Tadahashi is the envoy of Qin Zheng.

Although Shimazu Tadahashi was young, it was not simple. In original history, he accompanied his father to fight in Korea when he was fourteen years old. In the Battle of Sachuan in the Battle of Keichang, he and his father Yoshihiro ambushed the famous Ming Dynasty general Li Rusong. However, Not only was he discovered, but he was defeated by 3,000 Mingqi led by Li Rusong.

Now that Shimazu Tadahashi is sixteen years old and has a son, he naturally understands the meaning behind the competition for the governor.

To be honest, Shimazu Tadahashi also hated Da Qin. After all, if Da Qin had not formed a coalition to conquer Japan, so many people in the Shimazu family would not have died. However, it was only through Da Qin that he took the position of governor.

Everything about Shimazu Tadahashi comes from Da Qin. Without Da Qin, he is nothing, so naturally he can only follow Da Qin to the end.

As for his biological uncle Shimazu Noihisa, Shimazu Tadashi has also changed from the initial fear to acceptance and cooperation. After all, no matter what Shimazu Noihisa thinks in his heart, at least he can do it on the surface.

Shimazu Tadahashi also knew that he was too young to convince others, so he did not ask his third uncle to obey him, but only asked him to recognize his status as the family governor.

As for Shimazu Suijiu, when he first learned that Da Qin had forcibly intervened and prevented him from being the governor of the family, he really hated Da Qin to the core.

But as the interests of the Shimazu family and Da Qin became more and more entangled, Shimazu was among the first batch of envoys sent to Qin to study. This also greatly broadened his horizons, and naturally I won’t dwell on the petty gains of the past.

Shimazu no longer values ​​the position of governor of the Shimazu family for a long time. After all, no matter how powerful the governor of the Shimazu family is, it cannot be greater than a governor of Da Qin, and Qin Zheng promised to make him the governor of Nankyushu after the war. Mamoru, Shimazu naturally has no reason to betray Da Qin.

Although the uncles and nephews Shimazu Tokuhisa and Shimazu Tadashi had their own evil intentions, their loyalty to the Qin Dynasty was true, and they were even more loyal than many Han people.

After hearing what Shimazu said, Yunkai Suwen was furious. He never thought that someone in the world could be so shameless and so confident that he would consider a thief his father.

"Coward, coward..."

Yuangai Suwen yelled angrily, but Shimazu Tadahashi suddenly turned cold and said calmly: "Third uncle, this person is about to die, but he is stirring up trouble and beating him up. It's better to send him away as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Shimazu nodded and immediately ordered: "Fire the arrow."

Following Shimazu Suiku's order, the archers in ambush all around fired arrows, instantly shooting down a large number of soldiers. Only a few rounds of arrow rain caused more than half of Wang Mang's army in the city to be killed or injured.

Yuengai Suwen was even more furious when he saw this. He rode alone from the army and rushed to the tower to kill Shimazu Suigu.

Shimazu knew the bravery of Engaisubun for a long time, so he naturally did not dare to be careless at all. He quickly ordered the nearly a thousand soldiers lying in ambush below to form a formation to encircle and kill, but it only slowed down Engaisubun.

Although the Qin Xiejun's combat power was stronger than that of the Japanese army in the past, they were not skilled in formations, and Shimazu had not mastered coordinated operations with multiple arms for a long time. Therefore, even if he commanded a thousand men to surround and kill Yunkai Suwen, it would not be possible. Still, the opponent easily broke through and reached the city wall.

But before that, Shimazu Suijiu didn't do anything. He mobilized the trump card given to him by Qin Zhengpai, a total of five hundred Qin heavy-armored swordsmen, to protect him and Shimazu Tadahashi.

The five hundred Qin heavy infantrymen, each wearing heavy armor and holding a sword, were unparalleled in combat power. Qin Zheng left them with Shimazu for a long time to deal with Yuangaisumi.

The war horse that Yeon Gaesumun rides is not a famous horse, but a good horse. Although he is a **** of war, facing the five hundred heavily armored Mo Dao army once surrounded by them, he will still be Will fall into a disadvantage.

The Qin army had obviously been specially trained for encirclement and killing, and formed a formation much faster than the Qin Xie army. As a result, Yuengai Suwen was surrounded by a group of Mo swordsmen just after he killed three soldiers. Although he succeeded in killing them, he was not able to escape. The war horses were also hacked to death with random swords.

However, Yuangaisumi, who was forced to fight on foot, improved his combat power. He rushed to kill while avoiding being surrounded, and finally managed to get to the castle tower. For this, he was stabbed in the back, but he did not expect Shimazu Toku and Shimazu Tadashi's uncle and nephew have all been transferred.

Engaisubun knew that he could not kill Shimazu for a long time. When he looked at his own troops in the city, he found that only a hundred people had been shot and killed, but thousands of enemy troops were surrounding him. It was obvious that he was hopeless.

"Shimazu Suiku, remember, sooner or later I will kill you with my own hands."

After saying this, Yuan Gaisuwen jumped off the tower decisively before the Qin army surrounded him.

The five thousand Wang Mang army outside the city were also attacked by the Qin army, and were in chaos because of the loss of their leader. Instead, they were defeated by the three thousand Qin army, suffering heavy casualties.

Wang Mang's army also had a backbone after Yeon Gaesumun returned. Yeon Gaesumun, who escaped from the trap, also showed his strength as a **** of war. He repelled several attacks by the Qin army and commanded the entire army to fight. And retreat.

Seeing this, Che Ying, the general of Qin, naturally would not let Yeon Gaesumun escape, so he led 300 cavalry to attack the enemy's flank, hoping to completely defeat the enemy. However, before he could defeat the enemy, he encountered a counterattack. Yeon Gaesumun was aided.

Zi Cheying is a character in "The Fission of the Qin Empire". She is a descendant of the three heroes of Zi Che's family during the reign of Duke Mugong of Qin. He was appointed as a senior colonel in the army at the age of sixteen and assisted Shang Yang in his reform and development. He is a good general with both wisdom and courage.
