Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 162 The Attacking Chen Jue

Xiande three years, mid-June.

Sizhou.

The overseer Chen Jue was eating lychees leisurely, and the maidservants on the left and right shook the feather fans lightly, and the cool breeze was blowing.

Litchi is a rare fruit in this era.

The reason why lychee is called lychee is that it cannot be separated from the lychee, otherwise it will change color in one day and taste in three days.

Lizhi is litchi.

But for Chen Jue, this is not a problem.

It cannot be as romantic as Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei, and it is easy to transport it from the south of the Yangtze River.

It's just that the sweetness of lychee didn't cover up the bitterness in the mouth of the Southern Tang military supervisor.

Up to now, he can't forget the oppressive feeling when Zhao Kuangyin led the cavalry to break through the formation when he was in Guabu Mountain.

For a long time after that war, Chen Jue hardly had a peaceful night's sleep. In his dreams, he felt that someone was chasing him.

However, with the triumphant songs of the Southern Tang Army, Chen Jue did fewer nightmares, but he felt like he was acting out in his heart.

Why was the Southern Tang army like trash when I was there, and Zhao Kuangyin collapsed as soon as he charged.

I'm gone, but can I fight back and forth with him?

Naturally, Chen Jue didn't feel that it was his fault, and suspected that Li Jingda had tampered with it secretly to deliberately persecute him.

Together with this thought, the more Chen Jue thought about it, the more likely it was.

Normally, Li Jingda would not deal with them in the court, but now that he holds great power, it is only natural that he does not want to be controlled by him.

He intends to go to Haozhou to regain face, but when he thinks of going to the front line, he suddenly panics and lacks the courage to take that step.

There seems to be a weak little Chen Jue in his mind who keeps saying that it is good to be in Sizhou, accompanied by beauties, and there is no need to worry about eating and drinking, so why go to the front line and suffer.

Whenever he intends to leave, Chen Jue will shrink back unconsciously.

until this day.

Chen Jue received a letter from Jiangnan Feng Yansi.

Naked humiliation!

Tang Jun turned defeat into victory, the number one hero Chen Jue!

Because of Chen Jue's timidity, the Tang army won a big victory.

Because of Chen Jue's inaction, the Tang army won a big victory.

Because of the lack of Chen Jue, the Tang army won a big victory.

Is there anything more humiliating than this?

I didn't participate in anything in the rear, and I was ridiculed as the number one hero!

Who can bear this?
If I continue to stay in the rear, and the front line repulses the Zhou army, wouldn't I be confirmed as the "first hero", then how can the court have its own place to stand?

Wouldn't the word Chen Jue become the laughing stock of the world?
How could Chen Jue, a self-proclaimed celebrity today, endure such humiliation?
Sweeping the lychee peeled by the maidservant in front of him on the ground, it was like sweeping away the fear in his heart. Chen Jue strode resolutely like a warrior and rushed to the front line.

Haozhou.

Li Jingda is discussing military affairs with Bian Hao, Xu Wenzhen, Lin Renzhao and Chen Decheng under his command.

Bian Hao pointed to the map in front of him and analyzed the current situation.

"The northern thieves have shrunk their forces across the board, and they can be regarded as four major regions! Among them, Li Chongjin, Li Jixun, Zhao Kuangzan, and Yuan Yan are stationed in the core Shouzhou area, and they are responsible for besieging Shouzhou City. We want to send food to In the city, they are the last barrier."

"Then there are four generals, Wu Xingde, Tang Jingsi, Zhang Cong'en, and Jiao Jixun. They are stationed at the whirlpool near Haozhou, which is connected to the east of Shouzhou. If we want to advance eastward, the first enemy we have to face is them."

"Next is Zhang Yongde's department. He led the most elite troops of the northern bandits to guard the Xiacai Floating Bridge. The Xiacai Floating Bridge is the only bridge connecting Huainan and the Central Plains. If we have the opportunity to destroy it and cut off the opponent's grain road, then It's all set."

"Yang Chengxin and Liu Chongjin are located in the Feng'an area. Their purpose is to stop Zhu Dujian's department."

"In the end, it's the Chinese army of the Northern Thief and False Emperor Guo Rong..."

"A preliminary estimate is that there are about [-] bandit soldiers. As long as Luo Youdu is located in the three states of Luzhou, Hezhou, and Shuzhou, we still have the advantage in terms of military strength. This battle can be fought!"

There are [-] Zhou soldiers, but [-] of them must be drawn from the besieged city.There are only [-] mobile soldiers, and Li Jingda has [-] soldiers and horses, plus Guo Tingzhi and Zhu Yuan each have [-] soldiers, which is [-].

Therefore, there is an advantage in military strength.

Of course, if you add the [-] soldiers and horses in Luo Youdu's hands, that's another story.

Xu Wenzhen pointed to the Zijin Mountain on the map and said: "A certain person thought that our priority should be to rescue Shouzhou instead of destroying the enemy. Indeed, as General Bian said, we have an advantage in military strength. But don't forget one thing, Kaifeng once They didn't support Huainan... We can't afford to waste our troops, and the only thing we can spend with them is food."

After saying this, the scene was a little deserted and awkward.

After fighting for so long, their reinforcements from the Southern Tang Dynasty went north one after another, and they were all wiped out, even to the point where they had no soldiers to send.

Zhou Bing had never dispatched an additional reinforcement.

As far as the source of troops contained in the population of the Central Plains is concerned, it is really hard to beat.

But Nantang has nothing else, that is, there is a lot of food.

The water town in the south of the Yangtze River is the granary of the world.

Don't look at Luo Youdu and Zhao Kuangyin who robbed 50 stone grains and 20 stone grains respectively. For the Southern Tang Dynasty, these were like drizzle, painless.

Xu Wenzhen still has nothing to say here.

They have sent people to Khitan for help.

The longer it takes, the worse it will be for Zhou.

This united with the Khitan alien race to deal with the Central Plains Dynasty.

Even they feel ashamed and don't want to say it.But there is no way, without joining forces, there is no hope of winning at all.

He tapped heavily on Zijin Mountain with his fingers, and said: "That's why I think that our top priority is to find a way to push the army to Zijin Mountain. This is located ten miles northeast of Shouzhou, and we can defend here from the mountain. Be invincible by yourself. Then look for opportunities to echo Shouzhou and send food into the city."

Chen Decheng praised: "The old general's method is safe."

Just when they were discussing to the top, a general rushed to report: "Chen Jianjun is here..."

As soon as this news was conveyed, everyone changed color instantly.

As the Generalissimo, Li Jingda stood upright in fright.

A stern look flashed in Lin Renzhao's eyes and he said, "Let's kill him to sacrifice the flag!"

Bian Hao, Xu Wenzhen, and Chen Decheng are all eager to try.

Li Jingda who had just stood up was so frightened that he sat back down again, and shouted with a pale face: "No, this person is the most important confidant of Brother Huang. If you kill him, Brother Huang may suspect us of rebellion. Our whole family is full of people. It will be a burden, which is not good."

Li Jingda's courage as the coach can be seen.

On the eve of the Battle of Changzhou, Chai Kehong also encountered the same problem, and all the supervisors made trouble.

But Chai Kehong cut down the supervisor army directly, which completely inspired the morale of a group of old and weak soldiers, and defeated Wu Yue's army in one fell swoop.

Li Jingda obviously lacked this kind of courage. He was afraid of Chen Jue like a tiger, and even Bian Hao, Xu Wenzhen, Lin Renzhao, and Chen Decheng, who were worthy of Chen Jue, also began to feel guilty.

Who doesn't have a family yet?

They can despise their own lives, but they cannot despise the lives of their family members.
