This prince is going to heaven

Chapter 715 Surprise
At the beginning of August in the 31st year of Tianyuan.

The news that King Zuo Xian of the Xiongnu died, and the Huns army was defeated by Prince Wen Ruyan led by the Great Tuesday and retreated to the grassland in a panic was sent back to Yanjing City.

As soon as the news came back, the whole city of Yanjing suddenly erupted. Countless people paraded in the streets and cheered. All the great families paid out of their own pockets to set up banquets for all the people to celebrate this great victory!

Sitting high on the dragon chair, Zhou Tianzi held the battle report written to him by Jing Yichuan, his hands trembling slightly, and several civil servants came out to praise Wen Ruyan's achievements loudly, and knelt down one after another to ask Zhou Tianzi to restore the throne to His Highness the Second Highness !
In fact, the battle report written by Jing Yichuan was somewhat exaggerated, describing Wen Ruyan as a famous general in the world, and the [-] elite of the Huns were no more than the native chicken Wagouer in front of him. Wen Ruyan had never seen this battle report, and did not know Jing Yichuan set his image to such a high level, if he knew that Jing Yichuan wrote like this, he would have been so angry that he would have stabbed someone with a sword.

Seeing so many civil servants pleading for Wen Ruyan's life, Zhou Tianzi frowned, but he returned to normal in an instant. With such a great victory, he really couldn't think of any reason to refuse them.

On that day, the throne of King Jing once again fell on Wen Ruyan's head.

Above the court hall, the officials cheered, but there was a glimmer of sinisterness in the eyes of Zhen Guogong Chen Ling and others, but at this time they naturally did not dare to show it too obviously. They still had to put on the same excited look when they spoke.

Poor Wen Ruyan worked hard for a long time to create an image that was completely destroyed by Jing Yichuan.

And while the entire Yanjing City was boiling, the war at Pingyang Pass also kicked off completely.

same month.

General Sima Zongheng of Southern Chu led an army of 30 and launched a fierce offensive towards Pingyang Pass. General Yang Zhong of the Great Zhou Dynasty could not get out of the city. Although there was a huge gap in strength between the two sides, Yang Zhong still built Pingyang Pass. Sima Zongheng led his army to attack for three days and three nights, but he made no achievements.

After this battle, all the generals of the Great Zhou also showed confidence, each of them was full of confidence, but Yang Zhong's eyebrows showed a trace of uneasiness.

In his opinion, Sima Zongheng's style of attack is unreasonable. Defending the city is easier than attacking the city. In addition, Pingyang Pass is a natural and dangerous pass. His attacking the city like this is tantamount to a suicide attack. After a great battle, the Southern Chu army suffered a huge loss. Although the casualties on his side were not small, they were much stronger than Southern Chu.

Yang Zhong and Sima Zongheng have fought against each other before, and he knows how good the opponent is in the art of war. Doesn't he know that his siege tactics are stupid as hell?

No, he sure did.

Yang Zhong can be sure of this, Sima Zongheng is not a fool, he doesn't know the problems he can discover, but he knows that his style of play is stupid but still uses it, so what is he planning?
Yang Zhong didn't know that Mu Xiqiu, the new emperor of Southern Chu, had also arrived outside Pingyang Pass. Wan Dajun!
However, Yang Zhong is still a famous general in the world. Even though he doesn't have much information, he has considered the two cities of Jinling and Yangzhou in the first place with his years of experience in the battlefield!
One of these two cities is in the northeast of Pingyang Pass and the other is in the northwest. Yang Zhong switched his identity with Sima Zongheng. Under the circumstances, they should attack Pingyang Pass at the first time to restrain the local general, and then send troops to bypass Pingyang Pass to attack the city behind it.

Although it is extremely dangerous to go deep into the hinterland of the Great Zhou, it will definitely make the generals of Pingyang Pass unable to look after each other, and sometimes the dangerous moves of soldiers can also have unexpected effects.

With the two cities behind Pingyang Pass, Yang Zhong put his focus on Jinling City. Without him, Jinling City is the closest to this place, and the area outside the city is vast without any barriers. On the other hand, Yangzhou is different. The Qinshan Mountains stretching for thousands of miles is the best barrier out there.

If they wanted to bypass Pingyang Pass and attack Yangzhou, the enemy would have to go deep into the Qinshan Mountains. The mountains are densely covered with dense forests and the roads are difficult and dangerous. It is not suitable for a large army to move out. Moreover, if there is no guide, they may not even be able to find their way after entering.

So Yang Zhong sent hundreds of scouts to keep an eye on the direction of Jinling. Regardless of whether Sima Zongheng has any other troops in his hands at the moment, he must be planning something in such a desperate siege. It is always right to be cautious. of.

August nineteen.

Sima Zongheng led an army to attack Pingyang Pass again, and while Yang Zhong was defending the city, a scout suddenly reported that they found the Southern Chu army in the east of Pingyang Pass, the number was nearly [-], and their marching speed was very fast. The direction is impressively Jinling City!
Hearing this news, the faces of the generals defending the city changed greatly, but Yang Zhong did not change his expression. He immediately ordered Han Qi, the general of Zhenxi, to lead [-] soldiers and horses to rush to the aid of Jinling City, before the enemy arrived. Take the first step into the city and take precautions!
The Great Zhou had a total of Kyushu. At this moment, nearly [-]% of the troops in the counties and prefectures had gathered at Pingyang Pass. There were only [-] guards left in Jinling City. How could they stop the [-] local army?

August 21.

The army of Southern Chu approached the Jinling city, the deputy commander Han Qi and the governor of Jinling Gao Yun defended the city, repelling the enemy's attacks for many times in a row, when the news reached Pingyang Pass, Yang Zhong also breathed a sigh of relief.

But the good times didn't last long, on the night of August 25th.

[-] troops from Southern Chu suddenly appeared at the city of Yangzhou. Governor of Yangzhou, Wei Changkong, changed his face and went to the city to supervise the battle. However, Yangzhou has only [-] soldiers at the moment.
that night.

The city of Yangzhou is broken!

The [-] soldiers in Yangzhou fought endlessly to the death. After the war, only a few hundred survived.

Governor's Palace, Great Hall.

Mu Xiqiu, who was dressed in military uniform, took the first seat, looked at the scarred governor of Yangzhou and said with a smile: "Master Wei, long time no see!"

At the beginning, Mu Xiqiu planned Yangzhou for more than a year, instigated Yuan Qingyun, the governor of Yangzhou, and stayed by his side as a nephew, but met Wei Changkong several times. At first, Wei Changkong thought he was just a harmless young man, but did he ever I thought it was finally discovered that this person was the culprit behind the Yangzhou mutiny!
Moreover, this culprit was crowned the great treasure of Nanchu in the end, and became the new emperor of Nanchu in a flash!
It's time and life.

Now, when the two meet each other under such circumstances, Wei Changkong doesn't know what to say except his face is full of bitterness.

Who would have thought that the new emperor of Southern Chu would have such courage, leading [-] armored soldiers across the Qin Mountains to the hinterland of the Great Zhou as the king of a country?

Could it be that he is really not worried about accidents?

"Why didn't Master Wei speak? But why did I appear here unexpectedly?" Mu Xiqiu said with a smile again: "I stayed in Yangzhou City for so long, and entered the Qinshan Mountains no less than twenty times. It should be normal to come here, right?"

"Oh, it's a good method!"
