Chapter 74: Soldiers meet each other
He had been punished by Zheng Zai for drinking before. This time, he was defeated by the inexplicable defeat and captured. Zheng Zai had lost patience with Hu Hao. Hu Hao also felt that his brother-in-law was really angry and was so scared that he dared not plead with mercy.
Fan Gandhi bowed with both hands, "The prince calmed down. General Hu's defeat was not a crime of war. Zheng Dong and Ji Hongchang deceived General Hu and planned to plot against Hedong City in the name of rewarding the army. General Hu treated people with sincerity and was the opponent of these cunning villains. It is reasonable to get the plan. Please make the prince clear." Fan Gandhi defended Hu Hao with righteousness, as if he was not among the people who planned to plot against Hedong City.[]
Hu Hao was stunned at the old guy beside him. He couldn't figure out why Van Gandhi wanted to speak for him, and even more so that there was this old guy who brought him that night. Why did he say that he didn't have anything to do?
"Hmph, why are you still standing there? If Master Fan hadn't spoken well for you, your boss would have to move!" Zheng Zai said harshly to Hu Hao, but his heart was as clear as a mirror. Fan Gandhi was not a person who was very righteous. He did this just to please him. He knew that he would not punish Hu Hao severely and was a favor without any pressure.
Hu Hao and no one dared to go with his brother-in-law, and said in a muffled voice, "Thank you, Lord Fan."
"General Hu, offended." Van Gandhi smiled and replied with a smile. He had already shown his attitude, it depends on whether Zheng Zai had enough energy.
"As the master of Taiyuan Mansion, should I entertain my guest?" Zheng Zai confirmed that the direct troops had no losses and immediately felt very happy. As for Fan Gandhi's resignation, it was just a small matter, which was the icing on the cake.
Shenglong Mansion launched a big campaign to attack Taiyuan Mansion, and the ending was puzzling. Van Gandhi returned 20,000 prisoners of war and handed over the Xuanguang Mansion, which had lost its master, to Zheng Zai for stewardship. It is not surprising that Zheng Zai actually conferred Heping Mansion to Van Gandhi, and snatched the fruit of victory from Ji Hongchang. You must know that this time, the Northern Vietnamese Dynasty was able to repel the Li Dynasty's invasion. Ji Hongchang's contribution was great enough to be a marquis. As the first heir to the Northern Vietnamese Dynasty, wouldn't Zheng Zai be afraid of being criticized for doing this?
"What's there to be afraid of? Now that Zheng Zai is defeated and external troubles are eliminated, Zheng Lisheng has stopped the civil unrest, and it is a foregone conclusion that Zheng Zai ascended the throne. When will he wait for disobedient people to be suppressed at this time?" In the study room of the Li Villa, Guan Chongguang was leisurely analyzing Zhou Shixiong that Guan Chongguang came over to send bad news to Zhou Shixiong. The Guangxi Governor's Yamen sent a letter, ordering Guan Chongguang to go to Guilin Prefecture to report his duties. Whether he was promoted or demoted, Xiangzhou would have to change his new master.
"Cheng Peng, how should I deal with it?" Zhou Shixiong's qi cultivation skills have not reached the level of being indifferent to it, but learning from Wei Guangzheng's behavior of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, such as protests, strong protests, and solemn protests, is not embarrassing enough. As for the option of raising an army to attack Shenglong Mansion, it is still gray for the time being and cannot be chosen.
"The adults resist foreign aggression for the Northern Vietnamese Dynasty. No one can erase this credit. Zheng Zai's actions will definitely arouse others' rebound, but the premise is the adult's choice. If the adults fight hard, there will definitely be other government leaders supporting the adults. If the adults just shout a few times, they will stop and others will not say much." Guan Chongguang did not explicitly say that Zhou Shixiong would rebel, but this is what he meant inside and outside.
"The timing is wrong. Lang Sang Mansion only has more than 20,000 soldiers. Even if the more than 10,000 new recruits in Pingxiangzhou are counted, it is only less than 40,000. It is obvious that the Zheng family is not capable of resisting. How can you be tough?" Zhou Shixiong said these are nonsense. How could Guan Chongguang not know the details of Lang Sang Mansion? "Sir, there are many ways to resist, such as sending troops to attack Taiyuan Mansion, so that Van Gandhi knows the price of tearing down the alliance. Or directly attacking Shenglong Mansion, so that Zheng Zai understands that Lang Sang Mansion is not a soft persimmon."
"If you want to attack Shenglong Mansion, you must do your best. Can Van Gandhi sit and see the empty Langsan Mansion inside without responding?" Zhou Shixiong rejected the option to attack Shenglong Mansion, which was equivalent to accepting Guan Chongguang's suggestion and taking action against Taiyuan Mansion.
"What the lord said is, let Van Gandhi taste the power of the soldiers of Liangshan Palace." Not long after Zhou Shixiong returned to Liangshan Palace, he issued another notice, ordering the soldiers of the whole mansion to gather at Liangshan City.
"Master Zheng's Mansion, the road is smooth." When he learned that Ji Hongchang was going to retaliate against Fan Gandhi, Zheng Dong said goodbye to Ji Hongchang. He planned to lobby some of the mansion owners who had opinions about Zheng Zai to support Lang Shan Mansion and help Ji Hongchang relieve the pressure. Zhou Shixiong personally sent Zheng Dong to Youlong Town to give him enough face.
"Sir Ji stay, so I won't say anything extra. Please take care of me." Zheng Dong turned over and left Lang Sang Mansion under the escort of the guards.
"Sir, it's time for us to set off." It was not until the shadow of Zheng Dong's group disappeared in the distance that Guan Chongguang reminded Zhou Shixiong. Wang Zunde, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, wanted to get Pingxiangzhou, but Zhou Shixiong was unable to fight, so he simply asked Guan Chongguang to resign and return to his side to help manage Lang Sang Mansion. Guan Chongguang was also extremely powerful. He had to resign as the governor of Pingxiangzhou, and he moved the entire yamen to Lang Sang Mansion, leaving an empty house for the new governor. I'm afraid that the unlucky person who is about to take office will vomit a few kilograms of blood to express his dissatisfaction.
"I'll ask you to guide Taiyuan Prefecture this time. When I return to Langshan City, I will do my best to build a chariot, and I will ensure that it will not be possible." Guan Chongguang inspires Zhou Shixiong to take action against Taiyuan Prefecture. The biggest reliance is the chariot. After more than a year of testing and trial, the chariot has been proven to be fully in line with the effects of super combat weapons. At this stage, no light weapon can fight against the chariot.
The only problem is that the chariot battalion now has only one hundred chariots, and it cannot form an absolute advantage in large-scale wars. Therefore, Zhou Shixiong entrusted the battle to attack Taiyuan Prefecture to Guan Chongguang to handle it. He was responsible for the task of supervising the work and increased the number of chariots as soon as possible. The good thing is that the chariot battalion of Jiaao has trained a group of qualified chariot soldiers, otherwise Zhou Shixiong would have made a large number of chariots but no one could use it, which would make people laugh to death.
No one expected that the young master of Lang Sang Mansion would be so tough. You should know that Lang Sang Mansion was at the bottom of the 18th mansions of the Northern Dynasty in terms of financial resources and military strength. At that time, the capture of Beiping Mansion was due to unexpected results and the capture of Xuan Guang City was due to the Hezong Lianheng. In this battle between the North and the South, the light shone with the exquisite tactics and luck. This view is almost the most kind judgment of Lang Sang Mansion, and no one who is more mean will think of it like this.
This is why Zheng Zai dared to slap Liang San Mansion openly. He was not afraid of Lang San Mansion making trouble. How many tricks could this little strength make! Therefore, the news that Lang San Mansion gathered troops and sent it to Shin Long Mansion. After reading it, Zheng Zai casually tore the inquiry. His opinion was, "bluff."
Van Gandhi also saw this, but his reaction was much more serious than Zheng Zai. Van Gandhi knew that the Langshan army had dozens of cannons in his hands. If Ji Hongchang used these cannons to conquer the city, Van Gandhi was also very troubled. In order to prevent the Langshan army from attacking Taiyuan Prefecture, Van Gandhi sent heavy troops to Pingge City, which bordered the two prefectures. Pingge City was located in the east of Taiyuan Prefecture, and the official road connecting the two prefectures passed through the city. Van Gandhi sent troops to station in Pingge City, with the main purpose of striking the official road to kill the Langshan army and preventing the Langshan army from entering the country from entering the official road.
Van Gandhi's approach was completely fine. He should be considered highly of Lang Son Mansion. Unfortunately, the facts were confusing. When Guan Chongguang led a 10,000 army of twenty cannons to appear under the city, the soldiers of Taiyuan Mansion who were guarding the city knew what elites were. According to the convention of the Northern Vietnamese Dynasty, soldiers equipped with iron weapons and armor were elites, and ordinary soldiers only had a long spear and leather armor, which was not different from Taoist.
The equipment of the Lang Son Army is really strong. All soldiers wear steel armor of the same style, and the steel knife in their hands is extremely cold. Not to mention the lower-level soldiers of Taiyuan Prefecture who have objections, even generals in high positions cannot afford to play with this kind of treatment. Many soldiers of Taiyuan Prefecture have seen the Lang Son Army and know how powerful the Lang Son Army is. However, the number of soldiers in Lang Son Army is too small. Although they are well-equipped, they cannot be compared with the old forces of the Northern Dynasty in Vietnam. This is a recognized fact.
At present, Lang Sang Prefecture is pissing his teeth at Taiyuan Prefecture. The people of Taiyuan Prefecture and other forces in the Northern Vietnamese Dynasty all think that this is just an attitude, and the main purpose is to cover up shame. Unexpectedly, Lang Sang Prefecture is serious, and Lang Sang Army really appears in Taiyuan Prefecture.
The general of Taiyuan Prefecture who guarded Pingge City was Fan Huisheng who made a principled mistake. His position as the commander of Taiyuan Prefecture was taken away by Fan Xitong and kicked by Fan Gandhi to Pingge City as the commander of the border guard. Although the commander's troops were not much different, his status was very different.
During the time he came to Pingge City, Fan Huisheng changed his diligent and strict style and feasted and had almost every day at the city lord's mansion. He used this method to vent his dissatisfaction to Fan Gandhi. Fan Huisheng thought that it was not a war to be defeated by Zheng Zai in a battle. Even if it was not for the people in the city to drag down the guards of the city, how could the more than 10,000 soldiers resist the attack of the 50,000 troops? Whoever was the master general was unable to make the world come back. Therefore, Fan Huisheng was very dissatisfied with Fan Gandhi's demise.
"Report, General, Lang Son's army is fighting at the city." Although Fan Huisheng has been stolen from the position of General, his soldiers dare not call him a new official position, for fear of angering Fan Huisheng himself, but he did not know that doing so would make Fan Huisheng even more angry.
"Lang San Army? How dare they come!" Fan Huisheng hugged a woman and was drinking a glass of wine. When he heard the report, he couldn't react.
"Please order the general to defend against the enemy." The person who came to report was Fan Huisheng's personal soldiers. After holding on for a while, he thought of such a sentence. He didn't know why the Langshan army dared to attack Taiyuan Prefecture.
"Well, defend against the enemy, all the generals obey the orders and follow someone to fight." He woke up from drunkenness. Before Fan Huisheng was completely drunk, he could at least give orders in person. When the personal general helped him to the top of the city, Fan Huisheng wiped his eyes hard and confirmed that the army in front of him was not an illusion. He immediately sweated all over, and his wine finally woke up.
