Lord of the House

Vol 11 Chapter 122: Hero is late

(Faced with the powerful third update, please vote for your brother!)

Shewenzhuang rested for a while before he recovered; the messenger sent by Su Tingzhan to report the letter was still in the room, Sheyuan supported his grandfather and asked in a low voice: "The Donghai fox is tricky and cunning, it really calls Unexpectedly, but Fan Cheng's careless failure seems to be harmless, as long as Prince Mu can capture Jingzhou as soon as possible..."

"Hey..." Shewenzhuang's sigh was filled with endless bitterness, and he couldn't tell the eldest grandson Sheyuan for a while.

She Yuan only thought that his ancestor was taboo that the messenger sent by Su Tingzhan was present, and opened his mouth to ask the messenger to retire.

Shewenzhuang shook his head and said, "Zipei is Tingzhan's nephew, and he is usually his right-hand man; if Tingzhan didn't see something, he wouldn't have asked Zipei to run this trip in person..."

Su Zipei was the son of Su Tingzhan's cousin, and he brought Su Tingzhan with him to lead the guards. Su Tingzhan asked him to come to Huangpi to report the letter, but he didn't say anything to him - what Su Tingzhan wanted to say, he actually sent Su Zipei here. The detail of the letter has already given Shewenzhuang enough hints.

But Su Zipei didn't know what his uncle Su Tingzhan saw, and what Duke Wenzhuang saw from the fact that he came to report.

Shewenzhuang was weak after prostration, and it was difficult to move. She asked She Yuan to sit down with him, and asked the other soldiers in the tent to go out, leaving She Yuan and Su Zipei alone.

Shewenzhuang asked Su Zipei: "Ting Zhan heard the fall of Fancheng, did he panic too?"

"Indeed," Su Zipei nodded and said, "Uncle and General Suo were having a banquet in the mansion, and when they heard the news, the wine glass fell..."

Only then did She Yuan realize the seriousness of the problem.

Who is Su Tingzhan? He was a scholar, and was sentenced for his crimes. He was imprisoned in the county government prison. The plan was to help his father She Feixiong collect the East China Sea bandits.

If it weren't for the frustration of Huaidong, Su Tingzhan would be a better general than Tian Chang. Whether it is his grandfather or his father, the evaluation of Su Tingzhan is higher than that of Tian Chang - Tian Chang's military power is more important than Su Tingzhan, but Tian Chang made great contributions when he won the two Zhejiang provinces, and he is also a The representative of the surrendered forces from the two Zhejiang provinces, the Tian family is even more of a noble family from the two Zhejiang provinces. It is not Tian Chang's ability to overwhelm Su Tingzhan.

She Yuan also admired Su Tingzhan's courage.

The incident of Fan Cheng's carelessness not only made his grandfather She Wenzhuang pale in shock, but Su Tingzhan also reacted in the same way, indicating that something was hidden behind him and Su Zipei didn't see it.

Su Zipei also realized the seriousness of the problem, but he couldn't figure out the key point, and looked at Shewenzhuang suspiciously.

"Tingzhan sent Zipei here to ensure that Zipei will not talk about his reaction in Shicheng here. I also guess that I will be shocked when I hear the fall of Fancheng," She Wenzhuang said to Su Tingzhan of course. He understood and said, "On the surface, Huaidong bought Luo Xiancheng's subordinates, so that the five thousand elites could sneak into the hinterland of Jingxiang from Huaishan and attack Fancheng unexpectedly. If the timing was earlier, this king would not think too much; Sheyuan and Zipei, you can all see that Jingzhou is about to fall. Even if five thousand soldiers from Huaidong attack Fancheng, it will not overturn the entire battle situation. Moreover, the armies in Shicheng, Nanyang, and Jingmen have sufficient troops, and at most they can attack Fancheng. 20,000 people were sent back to assist Xiangyang to capture Fancheng - how could Lin Fu, Gao Zongting, Song Fu and others not see this? If they saw this, why would they easily send 5,000 soldiers and horses to sneak into the hinterland of Jingxiang to die? "

She Yuan and Su Zipei both looked at each other. They were the generals of the younger generation of the Zhejiang-Fujian army. Although the new-born calf was not afraid of tigers, Lin Fu and his generals under his command, Huaidong's generals, were indeed not to be taken lightly.

Shewenzhuang's mouth was full of bitterness, and the news of Fancheng's fall brought him so much panic that he was so startled that he wanted to vomit blood, his mouth was full of blood, and he said: "Ten thousand steps back, if Huaidong only had five thousand soldiers The horse sneaked into the hinterland of Jingxiang and shot down Fancheng unexpectedly. It should also be a fire to burn down Fancheng and the pontoon bridge, and then immediately retreated eastward towards Tongbai Mountain, instead of staying in Fancheng to attract our reinforcements - retreat another ten thousand In a nutshell, if only 5,000 soldiers and horses from Huaidong sneaked into the hinterland of Jingxiang, they could approach Fancheng quietly, and I believe it would be easier to attack Suizhou. Huaidong's 5,000 soldiers did not attack Suizhou, but instead attacked Fancheng from a distance. , isn't all this clear enough?"

Only then did She Yuan fully understand. After all, it was Huaidong's decision to choose between Suizhou and Fancheng that revealed Huaidong's real strategy and ambition... It was precisely because She Yuan was able to understand that his hands and feet became cold. Lost his voice: "It was actually Huaidong's troops stationed in Luzhou that all entered the hinterland of Jingxiang!"

"..." Shewenzhuang resisted the urge to cry, betting on all the old money and the opponent's stud, thinking that the winning ticket was in hand, when he revealed the trump card, he suddenly found that even his underwear would lose, who could resist the urge to cry?

Su Zipei also stood there in shock.

Indeed, if the Huaidong Army only had 5,000 soldiers and horses to sneak into the hinterland of Jingxiang, it would be easier to attack Suizhou than Fancheng, and the benefits would be much greater. The fall of Suizhou City will cause Sui Luo Xiancheng's troops and horses at the northern foot of Huaishan Mountain to be in chaos, and Dong Yuan and Ning Zechen will have the opportunity to lead tens of thousands of troops and horses to drive south through the tunnel between Tongbai Mountain and Huaishan Mountain...

The five thousand Huaidong soldiers did not attack Suizhou, but went around Suizhou to attack Fancheng, which meant that Huaidong still had enough troops in the hinterland of Jingxiang to attack Suizhou—the only possibility was that Huaidong was there All or at least most of Luzhou's troops have sneaked into the hinterland of Jingxiang, and are opening their fangs to save a fatal blow.

Huaidong is in Luzhou. On the bright side, there are Tang Fuguan, Liu Zhenzhi and Zhang Zhuang with nearly 40,000 cavalry. Silently sneaked into the hinterland of Jingxiang, peeping at the unsuspecting vital heart and preparing to save a fatal blow. How the **** is he going to fight this battle?

After all, Su Zipei was young and energetic, not as utterly despairing as Shewenzhuang, and said, "Should we immediately send a scout horse to the front-line reconnaissance of Chaishan and Lishan?"

Shewenzhuang shook his head, knowing that Su Zipei was too young to know how to maneuver, and he had not yet understood the real intention of Su Tingzhan's sending him, and said, "Although I don't know how Luzhou soldiers and horses came in, I know that the East Sea Fox has been preparing for this for a long time. The fall of Fancheng shows that everything is too late. Maybe Suizhou has not received the news of the attack on Fancheng. Maybe the main force of Huaidong who sneaked into the hinterland of Jingxiang is heading towards Suizhou... Even if we can capture the whereabouts of the Huaidong Army , how can it be?"

"What should I do?" She Yuan asked in a panic.

"Stay calm," She Wenzhuang said, "That's what I mean when I want to come to Tingzhan..."

"Why are you so calm?" She Yuan had no idea in her heart.

"Sheyuan, don't panic, and listen to me slowly," She Wenzhuang said, "Xiangyang sent a letter saying that Fancheng was careless, so we will inform Sun Jichang, Yang Xiong, Meng Anchan and Zhong Rong like this, At this time, you must not be confused. In addition, I will immediately send you and Zipei to Yuanfan City at a rate of 5,000 paces, and you will go directly to Shicheng to meet with Tingzhan. Remember, you must control all the naval forces in Shicheng. In your hand. After Shicheng gets the news of Huangpi's fall, don't hesitate, and don't care about any orders from Prince Mu, just give up Shicheng, advance by water and land, and head towards Xiangyang. Xiangyang is not a place to stay for a long time, you must You have to retreat to the west of Xiangyang first, then retreat to Guanzhong with the Yan army, or disperse to Hanzhong, depending on the situation; but remember, whether you are retreating to Guanzhong, or Hanzhong, or the Central Plains war, you should not get involved. He came in, trying to find a way to go northwest or southwest..."

Going to Hanzhong is to join the Cao family. She Yuan did not expect that the Zhejiang and Fujian troops would be reduced to this level, let alone that his grandfather would despair of the situation to such an extent...

She Yuan said with a crying voice: "Grandfather, you..."

"Don't worry about me," She Wenzhuang said, "The Huaidong Army's troops in Huangzhou are all overwhelmed. If the news leaks, Sun Jichang, Yang Xiong, Meng Anchan or Zhong Rong will flee first, and the entire line of defense will be behind. It collapsed in the blink of an eye. If I stay here, I can only buy two more days for you at most. You have to remember that the Shejia Erlang doesn’t cry easily. Your father and your second uncle died in battle. There's nothing to begrudge about the old bones, it's a pity that we no longer have a way to survive in Huaidong..." Having said this, Shewenzhuang felt that the hero was too late, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

Su Zipei stood there, choked up in his heart: Only then did he really understand what his uncle meant by calling him to come and report the letter, no news was leaked, and Yang Xiong, Meng Anchan, Sun Jichang, Zhong Rong and others must not be made to realize that Huaidong has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. Sneak into the hinterland of Jingxiang and be in chaos - even so, it can only buy them two days at most...

Once the Eastern Hubei defense line collapses, there will be scattered soldiers everywhere. Huaidong's main force in front of the Baita River defense line will cut in like a sharp blade. Hard to avoid.

If the main force of the Huaidong Army sneaking in was heading towards Suizhou, the Huaidong Army would then fall into Zaoyang and completely block the opening of Fancheng-Zaoyang, blocking the passage to the north on the east bank of the Han River. It only takes four days. From Huangpi to Zaoyang, there are more than 500 miles, the journey is not good, and it will take at least five or six days to escape to Zaoyang.

If you flee on the east bank of the Han River, you are likely to escape, so you can only go west along the Han River and find a way to escape from the Danjiang River or Wuguan River to Guanzhong.

After the fall of Fancheng, it was impossible to take a relatively spacious land route from Xichuan County, Nanyang Prefecture. The passage from Xiangyang to Wuguanhekou and Danjiangkou was very narrow. The soldiers and horses on the east bank of the water, especially in Shicheng, must be placed last, and they may even be ordered to stay in Shicheng to delay the pursuit of Huaidong.

The Huaidong Army, Chizhou Army and Jinghu Army counterattacked from the southern front with more than 200,000 soldiers and horses.

After She Yuan and Su Zipei retreated to Shicheng to meet with Su Tingzhan, holding the navy in their hands was the foundation of survival. Although the Huaidong Water Camp is unfavorable in the world, it is necessary to clean up the sunken ship at the Hanshuikou first, and the time to enter the Hanshui cannot be too early.

****************

At the corner of the sun on the 20th of October, the camp was built in front of Zhaohu Mountain. In fact, while Cao Ziang was leading the troops and horses from Chaishan to the west, Lin Fu had already transferred all the reserve troops and horses in Huangzhou. In the front base camp on the front line of Xuanling, the total strength of the Huaidong Army has exceeded 100,000, making final preparations for the final counterattack.

In the past few days, the attacks on the enemy's defenses such as Baitahe and Xiongjiagang~www.wuxiaspot.com~ have been attacked by one division and one division. The enemy's spirit must be stretched to the extreme and exhausted. Do your best and wait for the moment when its defense line collapses...

Lin Fu, Song Fu and others were studying the map in the tent.

They knew that Huang Zuyu and Zhou Bin had already led their troops to Fancheng disguised as food transporters and horses, but since the line from Shicheng to Huangpi was all the hinterland controlled by the enemy, the undercover agents of the Huaidong Army could only sneak out day and night, and they had not been able to reach out in time. The news of the capture of Fancheng was sent back to Zhaohushan Camp.

Gao Zongting hurried in; seeing Gao Zongting's brows with a happy look, Song Fu, who usually has a good temperament, couldn't hold back his temper, and blurted out, "Is there any news from Fancheng?"

"There is no news from Fancheng, but Shewenzhuang intends to tell his Sun Sheyuan to lead his troops to flee north," Gao Zongting said, "I think they have succeeded in coming to Fancheng! Detective Huangpi just shot arrows and sent back news that Shewenzhuang had dispatched his Sun Ratewu. The news of Qianbuqi Beiyuan..."

"Ah..." Song Fu was also quite surprised.

"This old fox has been escaping for half his life, but he won't escape this time?" Lin Bie stood by with his arms up and laughed.

However, seeing Chen Zui and Zhang Gou rushing in with their front and back feet, Chen Zui hurriedly said: "The old thief is going to escape, please Xu Chen Zui to stab the Baita River at noon..."

Lin Fu shook his head and said, "Shewenzhuang has left himself this time, and we have to wait another day."

"How many fish have to be missed for one day?" Chen Zuo said dissatisfied.

"Shewenzhuang has ordered his Sun Bei to withdraw. If he doesn't leave, he will definitely help our army to stabilize Sun Jichang and other enemy troops. It also shows that Ye Jiluorong of Jingzhou has not understood it yet, and it will not be too late for a day or two. "Zhang Gou said.

Gao Zongting nodded secretly, Chen Zhu was a brave general, and he might have no life in the battlefield, but Zhang Gou was the handsome one. My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
