Chapter 695 Tian Hu throws the pot
The King of Water Margin Volume 1, Chapter 698, Tian Hu turned the blame, but Niu Wenzhong didn't know the news, so he led a large army to leave Gaizhou Prefecture. However, after only 20 miles, he felt something was wrong. Why didn't half of the soldiers and horses in those counties see?
He absolutely did not believe that the guards of those counties would not obey his orders. Several of them were his brothers of life and death, and the possibility of disobeying was zero at the same time. There was only one possibility - they were trapped!
Niu Wenzhong made a quick decision and immediately asked the team to turn the direction back to the city. This was beyond the expectations of the Tang and Song dynasties waiting in front. Seeing that Niu Wenzhong's men were about to enter the encirclement and were about to run away, Du Jia knew that he could not capture this person alive, so he made a quick decision and ordered the entire army to attack and try his best to expand the results of the battle.
Then the Tang and Song dynasties encircled directly in two groups. Niu Wenzhong did not dare to fight at this time but ran away with all his strength. As a result, two generals under him, He Ren and Sang Ying, were killed by Suo and Hu Yanzhuo respectively, and their troops were also lost to more than 2,000.
Seeing Niu Wenzhong leading the large army back to Gaizhou Prefecture, Su Taiwei was very regretful, and patted his legs and sighed repeatedly. Du Jia smiled and advised: "Sir Su, don't be anxious. Niu Wenzhong is also a powerful character. He had a premonition in advance to escape this disaster. However, we have successfully taken down five county towns and cut off his wings. Now, an isolated city in Gaizhou Prefecture will fall into our hands sooner or later."
Just thinking about it, Su Taiwei was just so. In fact, the result of buying five county towns in one day was enough to be proud. However, as Tang Jun had been around for a long time, their appetites grew unknowingly. They felt that victory was taken for granted, and a small victory was as unhappy as losing. This feeling was really strange to the officials of the Song Dynasty.
While rectifying the five county towns they had just won, Su Taiwei sent a letter to report the victory again. Huizong was even more happy to see that there was progress again just a few days ago. He immediately sent someone to send a hundred bottles of imperial wine and other rewards, and asked Su Taiwei to arrange a merit book, so that everyone's merits must be carefully written, and finally rewarded them together on merit.
After the news came back to Weide Mansion, Tian Hu was furious and scolded Wu Li for some of his ideas. Now, not only did he not break the alliance between the Tang and Song dynasties, but he also fell into the other party's tricks and asked him to be fully responsible.
This is Tian Hu's character. He looks brave but is actually irresponsible. Just like many heroes who claim to be "decisive in killing", they are actually easy to kill and like to shirk responsibility. When Wu Li offered his advice, he praised him for being the best. Now he is useless and immediately throws all the pot to him.
In fact, Wu Li's plan was not that bad, and it almost succeeded. Moreover, Tian Hu sent Niu Wenzhong to march later, but he refused to admit it at this moment.
Wu Li has been following Tian Hu for a long time and is very familiar with his nature. He knows that he must not disobey him at this time. He can only take the blame honestly. He immediately blamed himself first, and then took the initiative to lead all the troops to Gaizhou Prefecture to help Niu Wenzhong defeat the Tang and Song coalition forces together.
Tian Hu calmed down his anger and asked him to bring 10,000 elite troops to assist Gaizhou Prefecture. He could not let the other party break the city no matter what. In addition, he also knew that there were strict precautions in other places.
Wu Li received the order and did not dare to neglect it. She brought 10,000 troops from the rear to the back of Gaizhou Prefecture. Then Niu Wenzhong sent someone to greet him in person and serve him in.
During the meal, Wu Li sighed and told everything he had done before. Niu Wenzhong cheered him up and said, "Don't worry, uncle, it's not my little brother to brag. I have worked a lot in this Gaizhou Prefecture in the past few years. It is definitely as solid as a backing to Xishan here, let alone the four generals under my command all have the courage of ten thousand men. The former was just a traitor who had been tricked by the thief. I will see me killing the enemy in the future and avenge my uncle. The King of Jin will be happy at that time."
Wu Li's mood gradually recovered a little. He knew that Niu Wenzhong and his four powerful generals were capable, plus the advantages of the home court, and his own support. No matter how powerful the Tang and Song dynasties were, they would not be able to get it. Then, let the girl blow the wind around him, and it would not take long to go back and continue to enjoy the glory and wealth.
The two drank in the middle of the night before resting. The next morning, Niu Wenzhong rectified the army and horses, and brought his four generals and ten thousand men out of seclusion. Wu Li also brought his confidants to help.
It turned out that the four generals under Niu Wenzhong were the general Fang Qiong, Piwei general An Shirong, Biaowei general Chu Heng, Xiong Wei general Yulin, and each of them had four generals. These people were Niu Wenzhong's old team, and there were no other loyalty or ability. On the one hand, he was able to serve as the Privy Councilor because he had made great contributions before, and on the other hand, he did have enough strength, so Tian Hu was relieved to hand over the important town of Gaizhou Prefecture to him.
The soldiers on Niu Wenzhong's side were gritting their teeth to take revenge, so their morale was high. Before leaving the station, all the generals threatened to kill several generals of the Tang and Song dynasties so as to avenge their previous dead brothers.
The Tang and Song dynasties had already received news of the enemy's attack, and Du Jia immediately lined up to attack, and the two sides set up their own formations five miles outside Gaizhou City.
Niu Wenzhong looked at Du Jia and shouted loudly: "Du Jia, you are also from the world. How could you do this today and become a hawk in the court to attack us without regard to the rules of the world? Are you afraid of letting heroes all over the world laugh at me if it is spread?"
Du Jia replied calmly: "What is this? Whether it is the world or the court, they are still Han people. The people of the King of Jin colluded with Xixia to destroy my Han people's country. Now they still have the face to claim to be a hero in the world. Wouldn't it be laughed at by the whole world? Niu Wenzhong, I know you and Tian Hu are not the same as you, so it's better to put down your weapons and surrender. I can spare your life."
Niu Wenzhong was furious and pointed a big knife in his hand and shouted: "Bah, Du Jia, don't swear by others. Our King of Jin's mansion has nothing to do with the barbarians of Xixia. It's just that you bitches are spreading rumors everywhere, which will cause us to take the blame. Which brother will go up to kill this guy for me!"
He heard a loud shout of "Ao" and before Niu Wenzhong finished speaking, a Pegasus came out next to him. The people here looked closely and saw that it was Xiong Wei general Yu Yulin. The two deputy generals of his previous operation were killed by the coalition forces in the chaos, which greatly reduced his strength and was ridiculed by others. He had already been furious. If he could not make contributions today, how could he look up from now on? Therefore, he was the first to rush out of the formation.
He yelled with his hands: "That group of bastards on the opposite side, dared to kill my brother in the previous episode. I am Yu Yulin. Come down and die soon!"
