Five Dynasties River Mountains Fengyue

Chapter 72 "Single-handedly"

In mid-June, Zhou State's forward general, the commander of the He-Controlling Army, the commander of the Weizhou regiment, and the forward of the southwest battalion, Shi Congyun, led the first and second army of the Zhou Dynasty to control the first and second army of Shu within a few days. Village, arrived at Huanghua Valley a dozen miles north of Wuwei City.

The news soon spread all over the north and south along Chencang Road, and the Shu army in Wuwei City was shocked, and the soldiers were not at ease.

Wuwei City was stationed by Li Tinggui, a general of the Shu Kingdom.

Li Yangui was originally from Shanxi. When Meng Zhixiang was ordered to send troops to destroy the former Shu, he joined the army with the army. Later, when Meng Zhixiang established himself as the emperor and established the latter, he was awarded a military post.

After the successor Meng Chang took the throne, he trusted Li Yangui and made him his main military general.

It is precisely because of this that this white-haired veteran who is over sixty years old is not like other generals in Shu who do not know how to fight, but is an experienced northern veteran.

Li Yangui is a little fat, and his face is not old, probably because the Land of Abundance is too supportive.

After wearing armor, he looked very sturdy, standing at the head of Wuwei City two feet high, surrounded by officers and generals.

"Can you find out what's on the other side?" he asked in a deep voice.

"According to the report of the spies, the opposite is the forbidden army control He army from Daliang. The leader of the army is the number one general of the Zhou Kingdom, and Shi Congyun, the son of the commander of the deputy commander in front of the palace." The general on the left replied immediately.

Li Yangui looked at the valley to the north: "That young man is not easy."

"It is said that he has fought in Gaoping, Northern Han and Khitan, and he has won all of them." Someone interrupted.

"No wonder." Li Yangui clenched the hilt of the sword with his left hand, and said somewhat unwillingly, "This old man thought he would be arrogant and arrogant, rather than taking precautions.

As early as in the east of Wuwei City, a large army was waiting for him to hit him. I didn't expect that he would close it when he saw it, and stopped calmly in Huanghuagu.
This man is young, but he has some rules in fighting. "

"Commander, we have five or six thousand soldiers and horses in our city, as long as we can't hold on to him, what will happen to him." The general on the right said.

Li Yangui shook his head: "It was fine to defend half a month ago, but now our army has lost in a row, lost eight camps, and its morale is low.

Wuwei City is not a golden city, and it is difficult to defend directly. It is the best policy to first concentrate your troops to win a stable army and then defend.The old man originally thought so, but it is a pity that Zhou Jun stopped at the Yellow Flower Valley, alas"

The generals stopped talking. In fact, they didn't want to face Zhou Jun until they insisted on sticking to it.

"His Majesty sent Zhao Jili as the military envoy. His reinforcements should be on the way. We won't have to be afraid of the Zhou army when we join forces." Li Yangui said something calming.

Hearing that there are reinforcements on the way, everyone is happy.

Zhao Jili, the reinforcement Li Yangui was looking forward to, was actually hundreds of miles away in Deyang.

In a private mansion in Deyang City, more than 50 military supervisors, Zhao Jili, are embracing the beautiful concubine, who is as beautiful as jade.

The elite soldiers he brought are still stationed outside the city.

In fact, as early as March, the emperor of Shu Kingdom was very frightened when he heard that some people had come to Daliang to petition. First, he added [-] troops to the Qin and Feng states, and then sent the provincial envoy Zhao Jili to inspect the defense of the two states.

At that time, Zhao Jili felt that Qin Feng's land was high and steep, and it was easy to defend and difficult to attack. In addition, Zhou Guo might not be able to fight, and he felt that he had found a great opportunity to make meritorious deeds.

Moreover, he is conceited that he has read poetry and books since childhood, and his literary and martial arts are very high.

After returning, he told Meng Chang, Emperor of Later Shu, that Han Jixun, the military governor of Xiongwu, who was stationed by Qin Feng, and Wang Wandi, the prefect of Fengzhou, were not expected to lead troops to fight, and they had no ability or talent like him.

Zhao Jili then volunteered to replace them.

He was very eloquent and eloquent. After a few words, he moved Meng Chang and ordered him to be deployed to the northeast and the top commander of the front line.

Afterwards, the Emperor of Shu sent Wang Zhaoyuan, a Privy Council official who grew up studying together and regarded as a confidant, to arrange the deployment of troops in the two prefectures.

In May, Zhao Jili led a thousand guards, a few concubines and a group of actors to the front line from Chengdu, ready to be the top commander of the front line and show his talent for revenge.

For this reason, he even copied the "Apprenticeship List" which he thought was very suitable as a gift to his friends, so as to clarify his aspirations, and maybe it would become a good story.

In the past, those who didn't take him seriously, and those who couldn't climb high, rode their carriages to the outside of Chengdu to send them warmly. There were many good words and gifts, which made Zhao Jili fluttering, and the whole person felt comfortable, indescribably refreshing.

Then take the army all the way north.

He was not in a hurry, but took a leisurely pace, eating the banquets of the prefects and county magistrates all the way.

The next day, Zhao Jili slowly got up from his concubine Hengchen Yu's body.

The greeter waited for him to get dressed and washed, and before he had time to eat his morning tea, he heard someone hurriedly shouting outside: "The big thing is bad, the big thing is bad!"

Zhao Jili was furious, took the waiter and served the freshly brewed tea, took a sip and scolded: "What's the panic, what a formality, didn't the old man teach you how to do things!"

The servant who came in fell on his knees directly on the ground, ignoring the reproach of the Patriarch, and said loudly, "The Patriarch is bad, the Zhou Army's forward general Shi Congyun has pulled up eight camps of our army in a few days and attacked from the south!"

With a bang, there was a crisp cracking sound, and the delicate celadon tea bowl in Zhao Jili's hand fell to the ground and was torn apart instantly.

"What did you say, say it again!" Zhao Jili asked in surprise.

"Zhou Jun is here"

"Where did you hear the news!"

"It has long been spread inside and outside the city, and the head of the family doesn't go out in the mansion, so I don't know."

"Where is Zhou Jun!" Zhao Jili asked in panic.

"I heard about Wuwei City."

"Wuwei City?" Zhao Jili muttered to himself: "Where is Wuwei City?"

The next man shook his head.

Zhao Jili couldn't control it. His mind was full of the words that Zhou Jun's forward general Shi Congyun had pulled eight Shu army camps in a few days and had already killed them in the south.

Immediately, my heart was in a mess, and my fear was so extreme that I could hardly breathe, and my whole body was stiff.

He pushed away the concubine beside him and shouted loudly: "Prepare the horse, prepare the horse quickly, the old man is going back to Chengdu!"

The servant was shocked. He was here to report a letter. He thought he would be rewarded, but he did not expect such a result, so he quickly asked, "What about the army outside the city?"

"What are they doing at this time!" Zhao Jili shouted, and rushed outside the mansion. The few beautiful concubines next to him cried in fright. They cried and wanted to go together, but were kicked away by Zhao Jili .

In this way, Zhao Jili "single-handedly" galloped back to Chengdu from Deyang.

The concubines, actors, troops and many baggage he brought with him were abandoned in Deyang.

When Zhao Jili returned to Chengdu City, it was a crowded time in the afternoon, and when he entered the city, he attracted a lot of attention.

Because there were too many people seeing him off when he left, it was too lively, and he also said a lot of contented words, so that everyone knew that he was deployed in the northeast to command the army that fought against the Zhou army. .

Now that he came back alone, many people suddenly saw him as if they had seen the god of plague, and their eyes widened in horror. It would not be a great defeat in the north and the entire army of Shu was wiped out. Only Zhao Jili escaped and returned!
That day, such rumors spread in Chengdu, and for a while, the whole of Chengdu was shrouded in panic.
