"This, this, this …" This xanthopanax wants to force the Xun family onto a path of death. If he does not agree, then even if the xanthopanax did not make a move, these commoners would probably destroy the entire Xun family. " Only then did Xun Gun started to worry, his hands continued to rub together, and he could not even breathe properly.
Yes, if they were to agree to xanthopanax's request, the imperial government would definitely not let them go. Their entire family would be convicted of aiding the thieves to rebel, and the nine clans would be exterminated; but if they were to refuse, Xun Mansion would also be convicted of being unrighteous, and the citizens of the city would not let them off.
"This Peng Tuo is too vicious." Xun You sputtered.
"Forget it." Xun Gun slammed the table. "Since loyalty and righteousness cannot be divided, there is no need for us to be foolish. If the two of you go and become Peng Tuo's advisors, you can also persuade him to kill less and do more good deeds.
At the side of the White River, the crowd was clamoring.
Peng Tuo's tightly knitted eyebrows slowly relaxed. His expression was relaxed, he gently raised his horse reins, and the warhorse beneath him raised its head, "Hui …" A long hiss. He looked at the other side of the White River and waited until the last boat of soldiers crossed the White River before Peng Tuo laughed out loud. Huang Shao and the Zhang Banxian beside him also laughed out loud.
In the past few days, Peng Tuo was the happiest of days. Not only did he snatch enough food for one year, he also caught over three hundred people of Zhang family and dug up Zhang Jean's house from top to bottom. No wonder the Minister of the Court had always said that eunuchs and their families were greedy for stolen goods. Just from Zhang Jean's home, they had robbed over a hundred carts of gold and silver s, five pieces of coins, and treasures. With the property of Zhang Jean's family, a hundred thousand xanthopanax would be fine for thirty to fifteen years.
However, what was even more comfortable was that they managed to get rid of the cavalry of Youzhou. They only sent a portion of their newly captured strong men, loaded them with dozens of carts of food and grass, and then led the cavalry of Youzhou away. Only then was the army able to quickly head south and successfully cross the White River. It seemed like this cavalry of Youzhou was not as powerful as they had imagined. Just a little trick would be enough to fool them.
Therefore, all of this was thanks to the stratagem of the Military Advisor Zhang Banxian. Before every step, Zhang Banxian would always have to bathe and change clothes, burn incense for worship, and pray for the blessing of the heavens. In the end, they would always have their wish granted, which was so much that now, Peng Tuo and Huang Shao even had to pitch camp for Zhang Banxian to take a look at the feng shui, in case the camp was in a bad position and their luck failed.
As for Xun Yu and Xun You, who were accompanying him, they barely spoke, but Peng Tuo did not care, as long as they followed him. According to the Zhang Banxian, when the imperial government gave the order to arrest them, they would naturally help the xanthopanax in order to protect themselves and their families.
According to the Zhang Banxian's arrangements, on the day of capturing Zhang Jun's family, Peng Tuo had already sent a servant of his family to deliver a letter to Zhang Ren, requesting for the Emperor to pardon Peng Tuo, Huang Shao and the others, and to give them a place to be an official. Otherwise, just wait to collect the corpses of his family.
Peng Tuo, Huang Shao, and the Zhang Banxian had already discussed their plans for the next step. After looting the Lunan for a while, they added some youth and robust men and retreated to the vicinity of the cautious county of the Lunan. There was a huge mountain leaning against it, and they could go in and out of the city.
Outside of Pingyu, there were swords and spears everywhere.
When he received the news that the xanthopanax was trying to cross the White River, Wang Yun was overjoyed. On one hand, he sent out orders for the conscription of the brave men from the various counties of the Lunan, and quickly rushed to the meeting place to gather. On the other hand, he was leading the Henan officers and soldiers to the meeting place to stand guard, in an attempt to eliminate the xanthopanax from the Pingyu in one fell swoop.
The emperor was shocked. In order to quickly suppress the emperor, the imperial government had specially chosen Wang Yun as their disciple, at the same time conscripting Shang Shuang, Kong Rong and other famous people to serve as Wang Yun's representative, leading a large number of troops to suppress the emperor. At the same time, he appointed Wang Zha as Lunan tai, in charge of annihilating xanthopanax Bo Cai.
When Wang Yun had first led the troops to war, he had fully demonstrated his extraordinary literary and martial skills. In advance, Wang Yun had asked for the opinion of the ordinary soldiers and had designed a meticulous plan of battle. During the battle, Wang Yun had personally put on his disguise and displayed his skills, completely defeating the xanthopanax s of Forbidden City, Ge Po and the others.
, who was filled with confidence, did not put Peng Tuo and Huang Shao in his eyes. After arriving at the King's City, he found out that Peng Tuo and Huang Shao were currently plundering and robbing in the Western Flower, Qiang and Ru Yang regions. After discussing with Wang Zhiqiang, he decided to lead over 10,000 Henan officers and soldiers s and over 50,000 Rennan rural chivalry s to intercept them, preventing Peng Tuo and Huang Shao from escaping to the southern part of Lunan.
There was no cloud in the sky, no wind at all, and overhead there was a hot sun, and all the trees stood listless and lackadaisical. However, Wang Yun was currently in high spirits, this was a good sign for sending troops, his thin face revealed a faint smile, his short stature actually had a few heroic warriors standing on the horse, his left hand stroked his white beard, his eyes brimming with vigor, as he scanned through his troops.
"Let's go."
Wang Yun waved his hand proudly, and the vast army of Henan Province officials and Rennan rural chivalry began to head towards the north. As a civil servant who commanded thousands of men to fight, his heart was filled with pride. He seemed to have seen an opportunity to earn merits. In his opinion, when Peng Tuo and Huang Shao had been defeated by the elders and Yang Di, they had definitely been defeated.
As a result, he made the most erroneous decision in his life. Ignoring the The King of Rennan's pleas, he gave up on the firm walls of the Lunan, brought over 70,000 troops and village men, and welcomed the great army of Peng Tuo and Huang Shao.
There was reason for him to do so. The main reason was that he was worried that Peng Tuo and Huang Shao would not attack the emperor's carriage, but instead take a detour and escape to the south of Lunan. Once the xanthopanax managed to escape, it would be disastrous. At that time, the xanthopanax would have a huge mountain to support him.
Most of the Henan officers and soldiers under Wang Yun's command had experienced battle formation, which was also the guarantee that he was confident enough to fight against Bo Cai. These soldiers followed Wang Yun and fought victorious battles one after another. Their morale was high and no longer held the xanthopanax in their eyes.
Kong Rong was a famous prodigy, the twentieth generation grandson of Confucius, who was only four years old when the story was passed on for thousands of years. He was also a famous man of his time, intelligent and resourceful, talented, and had a very high opinion of himself. However, his main talents lay in the display of Confucianism, the recommendation of the wise and the hanging of the student, etc. As for the use of troops, the great scholar had made a fool of himself. Towards Wang Yun's impulsiveness, not only did he not try to persuade him, he even encouraged him with more effort.
"Peng Tuo, Huang Shao is the head of the Yellowhorse, we have to eliminate them, Master has made a meritorious service, his name will shake the world, and he will definitely leave no stone unturned."
As for Wang Yun, the other person who was involved with Shang Shuang, he was a cautious person. Although she was also a famous person in the current generation, compared to the two of them, she had much less profit and profit, and was also unwilling to take risks.
"Master, that Peng Tuo, xanthopanax Huang Shao were robbing in the Ying Chuan, and captured quite a few young and robust men, now that they have sufficient food, their soldiers have numbered over a hundred thousand, and have been through battle for a long time, they are truly a group of mischievous people. I heard that he has also gotten the famous Scholars of the Ying Chuan, Xun Yu and Xun You, as strategists, those two are all soldiers of the intellect, and Master shouldn't underestimate their opponents, so it's better for us to follow the rules of the city. "
At this time, Wang Yun's mind was already muddled by the few victories, how could he listen to these words. The famous generals of the imperial government, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, were defeated time and time again. Shang Shuang's words made him a little unhappy in his heart, and her face also revealed some displeasure.
"Then Peng Tuo, Huang Shao have been defeated and escaped, panicking like a stray dog, do you still dare to fight against us? Moreover, he has the's allied army chasing after him from behind. Does he dare to stop and fight with us? As for Xun Yu, Xun You, the person who forgot his roots, it's fine if you don't bring it up. "
Wang Yun was just about to say something when he heard Shang Shuang's harsh words. His face turned red and then white as he walked away resentfully. It was no wonder that he had been mistaken ever since Wang Yun took charge of the troops. He was always accurate, using his weapons like a god, defeating the xanthopanax time and time again.
The soldiers of the Generals also sneered and looked at Shang Shuang with disdain, as if she was looking at a coward. Shang Shuang's pride dropped to the ground. Seeing that Shang Shuang was unable to persuade him to leave, Wang Zhi didn't dare to say anything, and obediently followed Wang Yun.
No matter what was said, Wang Yun was a scholar and knew how to fight. Although he had never received any military training, he had still self-learned a few books on military strategy from the ancient times and could be considered a self-taught talent. When the exorcism told him the exact positions of Peng Tuo and his, he quickly led seventy thousand men to occupy the only route leading to the Lunan — — The Wangjiapo.
Speaking of the battlefield that Wang Yun had chosen, it was truly extraordinary. Although it was not very high, it was still a high ground and was easy to defend and attack. If one was well-guarded, Peng Tuo and Huang Shao would definitely not be able to escape this calamity.
Wang Yun had ample time to set up the array. According to the array formation that he had learned from books, as well as his experience fighting against the xanthopanax, and adding his own understanding and display of array formations, Wang Yun formed his most proficient defensive formation. When he was fully prepared, Peng Tuo and his frontline had finally arrived.
The one leading the charge was Huang Shao, the moment he saw Wang Yun's posture, he knew that he had met his match. Huang Shao who had not read a book and was not aware of array formations rubbed his head, and immediately ordered the convoy to stop. Ever since he had the Zhang Banxian, he had learnt to be more calm. He did not rush to attack, but instead sent people to report to Peng Tuo while locking the formation.
Peng Tuo was startled when he found out that Wang Yun had set up a huge array on the road, and immediately shifted his gaze to Zhang Banxian. A hint of hesitation flashed across Zhang Banxian's face, but it disappeared in a blink of an eye. He smiled at Peng Tuo, his face was full of confidence.
"General, we have no other way. If we do not attack the Wangjiapo, we will have to take a detour. Furthermore, with such a long line like ours, the entire base is exposed to the public. If they were to attack, we would be unable to defend against their attacks and would definitely be destroyed upon contact. "
Furthermore, he did not put Wang Yun in his eyes at all. If he did not dare to fight with Wang Yun, after crossing the White River, he would be able to bypass Rennan County City and head south along the Ying Shui River.
After a few days of robbing and capturing, he now had another one hundred thousand soldiers, walking with a grandiose presence. As long as he did not come across the cavalry of Youzhou, he did not put the Henan Province soldiers and the soldiers in his eyes. If he could not even balance the troops in these places, how would he be able to stand within the borders of the Henan Province in the future?
