Chapter 687： The battle is anxious! !

Long Zhaorui was defeated by Huaishui, and his advances and retreats were facing embarrassment on all sides. This situation can be said to be a dead end.

Most of the generals and soldiers under Long Zhaorui came from the capital. Many of them knew the name of Lu Zheng. Therefore, if Long Zhaorui lost in Jiangnan, they immediately surrendered without psychological pressure. After all, Jinling is still the regime of Dakang. They were originally Dakang’s courtiers, so why not return to Dakang now?

Therefore, Long Zhaorui's defeat was a relief to Jiangnan, and Lu Zheng expanded the Nanfu army by at least 40,000 through the fight between the two sides. The scale of the Nanfu Army has been further expanded, exceeding one hundred thousand horses. With this foundation, the conditions for Lu Zheng to stabilize Jiangnan have been laid.

It's just that this situation is a bit cruel to Long Zhaorui. He has been deliberately deliberate, and he has taken the courage to pay for so many years, only to seize such a small amount of capital, and now that Lu Zheng has all taken it back, this round he is obviously defeated.

"What? What can we do now? Do we still have a chance to fight? If we cross the Huaihe River, will there be a chance for a comeback on Huainan Road?" Long Zhaorui looked around to the left and talked to the guards and counselors around him. Loudly.

Zuo Mingyue lowered his head and said: "His Royal Highness, Bei has no chance! Our more than 10,000 remnants have no boats to cross the river. Even if we can cross the river, the enemy is waiting by the side. If we strike it while we are halfway, I There is no burial place to die!"

Long Zhaorui paused softly, as if his spinal cord had been emptied. At this moment, he was finally completely desperate.

"Report, your majesty, there are books coming in!" The guards came in to report, and Long Zhaorui raised his hand and said: "Ming Yue, take a look for this king!"

Zuo Mingyue took the letter sent outside and read it once, and said, "His Majesty, this is Lu Zheng's handwriting. Lu Zheng allows His Highness to go to Jiangnan with him. He can accompany you to the Bauhinia Palace. He promises that His Majesty will not Angry at you..."

"Lu Zheng, it's Lu Zheng again! This **** bastard, who gave him the rights and the courage? I am the king of Qi, the prince of Dakang. He even dared to attack me. What is the difference between this and rebellion? He is my Dakang's insurgent thief, he is my Dakang's greatest counter-thief, you know?

Is this king going to surrender to the anti-thief now? This king is determined not, even if he fights to death, he will not surrender! "

Long Zhaorui suddenly went crazy. He yelled at Lu Zheng, violently violently, and the whole person seemed mad. At this time, the horn sounded in the distance. Obviously, Long Zhaorui’s persistence could not change the final result. Lu Zheng contributed a book to him, and he didn't really expect him to be able to tie his hands. If Long Zhaorui surrendered, everyone would be happy, but if it was a stubborn resistance, Lu Zheng would eliminate him without hesitation.

The sound of the horn in the distance, the place has dispatched troops, Long Zhaorui’s tent immediately became tense, Long Zhaorui walked out of the tent, and looked far ahead. There are densely packed enemy troops in front of them. Look at these troops as if Ants are generally dense.

Looking at my side, the morale of the soldiers in the camp is low. How can this battle be fought? Zuo Mingyue walked behind him and knelt down and said: "His Royal Highness, at this moment, you need to make a decision! Certainly hope that His Highness can bear the burden of humiliation and avoid the edge for a while, and wait for a comeback in the future!"

Long Zhaorui sighed for a long time, and said: "Okay, I understand! This king has decided, give up resistance! You all go as you please..."

When Long Zhaorui said this, the generals around him scattered like birds and beasts, and the white flags flicked. The enemy troops entering the palace in the distance delayed their offensive, and the gate of the rear camp opened. All the soldiers lost their weapons and removed their armors. After that, a team of troops walked out of the camp, and the more than 10,000 remnants were defeated.

Long Zhaorui watched this scene ignorantly, and he suddenly thought that if he continued to persist, it might not be the enemy who would act on him, but the soldiers around him! This group of people has already looked forward to it, and already has a plan, that is to capture Long Zhaorui alive and then surrender, maybe they can still be rewarded! How can Long Zhaorui's own power resist such a general trend?

Fortunately, at the most critical moment, Long Zhaorui held his mind and chose the most rational path. If not, his face would be lost even more, and he would even become the laughingstock of the world!

...

It is not the first time that Long Zhaorui has come to Jinling. He has always disliked this place, because since the establishment of the Dakang Dynasty, Jinling was the first country of Dakang.

However, since Emperor Gaozong above Xinde moved the capital to the north, Jinling has declined, and that capital relocation was a reshuffle after a power struggle within the royal family. After that **** storm, Long Zhaorui, as the king of Qi, of course clear. Therefore, Jinling is a place for the defeated and a place of decline for the royal family.

Long Zhaorui has been an ambitious and dreamy person since he was a child! His greatest ambition is to become the great general king of Dakang, and then fight the world for his father. He dreamed countless times that he led his troops to sweep Beiyan, and then conquered Silla in the north, exterminated Tubo in the west, and exterminated Yue in the south, thus allowing The Dakang Dynasty unified the four seas.

Therefore, in Long Zhaorui's heart, the northwest, Liaodong, where he has the most powerful troops, is his favorite and favorite place. And places like Jiangnan are too weak. People in Jiangnan live a life of drunkenness. They don't have the ambition and dream of conquering the world in their bones, so Long Zhaorui looks down on Jiangnan people from his bones.

Because in his view, Jiangnan people are ants, lambs that can be slaughtered. In the Xinde dynasty, the Jiangnan power sect completely collapsed, and the so-called Jiangnan four great masters have become a joke.

But today, Long Zhaorui's thoughts on coming to Jinling are complicated, because this time he was defeated by the Jiangnan Nanfu Army, and his opponent is an authentic Jiangnan talent, this person is Lu Zheng.

This man who is twenty years younger than him looks so young. This is the age Long Zhaorui admires. If Long Zhaorui is only twenty now, he can have too many choices. He can take the courage. He can wait for the opportunity to make a comeback, but now...

All he has left is deep despair, because he is already old, and he is the oldest of the three brothers. This time he has lost the opportunity and has no bargaining chips in his hands. Can he make a comeback?

...

Lu Zheng took the king of Qi in the south of the Yangtze River. The Nanfu Army's momentum soared. At first, everyone in the world doubted whether the Nanfu Army was capable of combat. Now that it is all right, no one dares to doubt it anymore. The Nanfu Army used this beautiful battle. Prove to the people of the world that Jiangnan cannot be violated. Among the various forces that are currently splitting up in Dakang, the forces around Emperor Xin De are still the strongest!

Song Wensong, who was far away in the capital, had been paying close attention to the movements of Jiangnan. He heard the news that His Royal Highness Qi had been destroyed, he couldn't help but admired: "Lu Zheng, Lu Zheng! This kid is still so decisive and decisive, if he doesn't move. Already, one move is shocking! It's amazing. At this time, he has won King Qi, and the strength under his hands will inevitably skyrocket. We will have no chance to go south in a short time!"

The general Li Yuan said: "For the present plan, how should we fight the Yuzhou battle? Cao Weiming condemned and asked for peace. He said that as long as the three generals, you can practice together with him, and he is willing to give us millions every year. Carrying fine grain can be enough for the three generals to raise soldiers!"

Song Wensong sneered, and said: "What is Cao Weiming? This person is also a thief of the country! How can I get in touch with such a chaos and thief? I have nothing to say, take Yuzhou at all costs, capture Yuzhou city, and destroy it. Cao Weiming!"

Song Wensong made a decisive decision. At this moment, there was no hesitation in his heart. Cao Weiming's things were too out of the ordinary, and the food was too ugly. It could be said that he was guilty of public anger. Although Dakang is now divided, his Majesty is still Emperor Xin De, nominally everyone still supports Emperor Xin De.

Because only in this way can everyone be famous and compete well, but Cao Weiming is different. His food is too ugly, and he dares to easily hold the prince to command the world, and treat the prince like a servant, beating and scolding at every turn. , How can we tolerate such behavior? Therefore, the world regards him as a snake and scorpion, and Song Wensong will certainly not let him go.

Of course, for Song Wensong, the balance of pros and cons is everything. If Jiangnan is weak, Song Wensong will not necessarily act according to the will of Emperor Xinde, but now Jiangnan has suddenly become stronger. Since he can't become an enemy, he naturally wants to become a friend.

In addition, Song Wensong is very confident in the Yuzhou battle. In his opinion, it is more cost-effective to win Yuzhou and occupy the land of two rivers than Cao Weiming's tribute to him. Song Wensong has suffered from insufficient land in Longyou and has been wretched all these years. Development can be said to be suffocated.

After entering the pass, he saw the fertile and vast land like Lianghe, and he couldn't wait to **** all the land over, only in this way could he feel comfortable in his heart. Now he has the imperial decree of Emperor Xinde in his hand to deal with the righteousness of Yuzhou. This is his Majesty who asked him to take Lianghe. How could he hesitate?

Immediately, Song Wensong appointed soldiers and horses, and personally led 50,000 Haohao Tangtang to Yuzhou City. Cao Weiming was in Yuzhou, strengthening the city wall while panicking forever. He is also an ambitious person. When the opportunity came, he tried to see him, thinking of holding all the North Land in his hands, so that he could determine the hegemony in one fell swoop.

However, people are not as good as the sky. The fat Liaodong in the north is worried, and the Song family in the northwest is also worried. The three sides played against each other. Cao Weiming was the weakest and fell into a disadvantage. Now he is in desperation.

In this case, Song Wensong still reluctantly wanted to attack Yuzhou, Cao Weiming really felt panic inside! He was too impressed with Song Wensong, this guy is simply not human, his fierce and arrogant, he is not afraid of death, so that Song Wensong's army has jaw-dropping combat power, such combat power is really terrible! ! !

Outside the city of Yuzhou, a new round of siege has begun. Song Wensong tore up all Cao Weiming's submissions, and put on a posture to take Yuzhou and chop Cao Weiming into mash!

Cao Weiming's heart was terrified to the extreme. He immediately went to the King of Qin, forced King Qin to draft the edict, and rebuked Song Wensong for being rude in the edict. This was a farce. After the farce, he personally led the elite Yuzhou army to defend the city and defend Yuzhou. The army's civilians were forcibly armed, and they all pushed to the top of the city. Obviously, he had resisted this battle and was determined to hold on.

Song Wensong failed to attack for three days, and he couldn't help but feel a little impatient. The counselor Qi Yuanzhi said: "Three generals, we shouldn't attack for a long time for this plan! If we can't attack for a long time, we will fall into a passive situation!"

Song Wensong said: "Since the troops have been dispatched, how can they give up halfway? Besides, if this battle is abandoned halfway, how will the world think of me? Wouldn't you laugh at my Song family army's lack of combat power?"

Qi Yuanzhi said: "San Gongzi, when it is time to fight for those fame, San Gongzi's Yuzhou battle needs a big victory to establish its prestige. If it is only a tragic victory, can the Young Master be confident of defending the capital? Our strength is not strong. If it consumes too much in Yuzhou, I’m afraid it’s not a wise move!"

Song Wensong said: "Then what should I do? Since troops have already been dispatched, it is not a good strategy to retreat right now!"

Qi Yuanzhi said: "For the current plan, the three sons can only find other ways!"

Song Wensong groaned, but he couldn't think of a proper strategy for a while. He looked at Qi Yuanzhi and said: "Mr. Qi, at this moment Wensong is really in a situation where he is in a state of insecurity. Please also Mr. can teach me!"

Qi Yuanzhi said: "Why don't the three generals start with the prince? The prince fell into the hands of Cao Weiming, and he was treated as a slave. He has suffered from Cao Weiming for a long time! Now you can temporarily ease the offensive, paralyze Cao Weiming, and then take advantage of it. Cao Weiming guards against emptiness and lets people sneak into Yuzhou to contact the prince. If the prince is willing to follow you, you will immediately earn the prince from Yuzhou City.

You have gained the prince, and you are like a tiger with more wings, but Cao Weiming lost the prince, and it is even more disheartening, and Yuzhou will be further weakened by that time. At this moment, if the three generals can take the initiative, they might be able to induce Cao Weiming to take the initiative. As long as Cao Weiming dares to take the initiative, it is time for him to die. At that time, the three generals can not only get Yuzhou, but also Get the hearts of the people of the two rivers together! "

As soon as Qi Yuanzhi’s plan came out, Song Wensong thought for a while, and immediately clapped his hands in applause, and said: "Okay, this plan is very good, Mr. Qi's plan came out, let me stop! If this is the case, we will not attack the city for the time being, and we will retreat first. Camp outside and let Cao Weiming take a breath, haha!"

Song Wensong had an idea in his mind, and he was in a good mood immediately, and immediately ordered to retreat. The fifty thousand horses he led came in abundance and returned without success after attacking Yuzhou for three days, and morale was naturally low.

At this time in Yuzhou City, Cao Weiming heard the news of Song Wensong's resignation, and was overjoyed immediately, saying: "The Northwest Army is nothing but the same! I Yuzhou City is solid, and Song Wensong wants to win!"

Cao Weiming said that the flatterers around him immediately flattered, and his nephew Cao Xuanhua said: "General, since Song Wensong is defeated and retreated, why don't we lead an army out to pursue it? In the Lianghe region, we have the advantage. , The Northwest Army is bound to be defeated. In this way, the general's reputation is far-reaching..."
