Bad guy, the new life of the dark star

Chapter 172 Breaking the City (1)
Zezhou.

Inside the governor's mansion.

Wang Yanzhang stood up, looking at the soldiers in front of him with anticipation in his eyes, and said.

"Returning to the general, there is no news from Master Fengdu.

It was Li Cunxiao, who withdrew his troops. "The soldier looked at Wang Yanzhang in front of him and reported.

"Withdraw the troops?" Wang Yanzhang said in disbelief.

Originally, the peak of their soldiers in Daliang had already pointed directly at Luzhou, and their military strength was more than four times that of Luzhou's defenders. They only needed to break through Luzhou, and the land of Zelu would be in the hands of Daliang. It is easy to burn the flames of war to Jin.

This is also Zhu Wen's main external strategy. Relying on the strongest national power in the Central Plains, he quickly pushes the battlefield to the opponent's territory, and then slowly scrapes the ground to bleed the opponent.

And Li Keyong is just a person whose internal affairs ability is much worse than that of checks and balances and military command. Even in his early years, he still followed his own way on the grassland and moved to the Central Plains.

Originally, it was a foregone conclusion that the city of Luzhou would be destroyed and the land of Zelu would fall into the hands of Daliang, but he didn't want the court to change. Zhu Yougui rebelled and even colluded with Li Xingyun, the remnant of the previous dynasty, to assassinate His Majesty. In order to stabilize the political situation, he had to give up With the results of the battle in sight, the troops retreated back to Zezhou.

But I didn't expect that so many changes could happen in a short period of time. First, the Baoyi Army Jiedu envoy was careless and died in the army. Xingzhou, Mingzhou, and Cizhou were all in the hands of Li Cunxu. Rebellion, fraudulently opened the city of Tongzhou, and ruled Tongzhou and Hezhong separately.

Not to mention the loss of the advantages over Qi and Jin, now Zezhou City is also in jeopardy.

"Yes, General, when the scouts went out to investigate the city, they found that the Jin army's camp was empty, and followed the traces for a long distance, but there was no trace of the Jin army." The soldier looked at Wang Yanzhang in front of him. , replied respectfully.

"What do you mean?" Wang Yanzhang was thinking in his heart, although Wang Yanzhang could not beat Li Cunxiao, but with the strength of Zezhou's troops, it was more than enough to stick to it.

"Maybe he knew he couldn't win Zezhou, so he retreated?" ' Wang Yanzhang thought to himself, but he felt that he should go out of the city to investigate.

"Twenty riders together, follow me out of the city to check." Wang Yanzhang thought about it, but still felt uneasy, so he wanted to check it out himself.

For some reason, Wang Yanzhang always felt uneasy and had a bad premonition.

……

Not long after, Wang Yanzhang rushed out of Zezhou City with twenty Liang Jun Qingqi.

After he left, the defenders of Zezhou City quickly closed the city gate.

Not long after, Wang Yanzhang ordered Qingqi to scatter to investigate, and finally a group of 21 people met in Li Cunxiao's camp, but found that there was no one in the camp at the moment.

Li Cunxiao's retreat was supposed to be good news, but for some reason, looking at the empty camp in front of him and the few leaves that were blown up by the breeze, Wang Yanzhang felt strange and chilled in his heart.

"Explore again!" Wang Yanzhang looked at the twenty Qingqi beside him and ordered.

"Yes." A group of Liang Jun Qingqi Qiqi took the order, and then they scattered to check for the movement of the Jin army.

But in the end, this investigation still found nothing, and the Jin army disappeared without a trace overnight.

……

Zezhou.

Governor's House.

Wang Yanzhang, who had just returned to Zezhou City, only felt a wave of sleepiness welling up in his heart, and a feeling of exhaustion began to flood his body like a tide. After a long period of nervous tension and body injuries, but insisted on commanding and defending the city, he was already very tired. Tired, because Li Cunxiao was outside the city before, so his spirit was always tense, but now that Li Cunxiao's army has withdrawn, he suddenly relaxed, and naturally he couldn't hold on anymore.

But at this moment, Wang Yanzhang was still not at ease, and he ordered to all Liang Jun: "Spread scouts widely to investigate the enemy's military situation."

In this way, in Zezhou Governor's Mansion, Wang Yanzhang waited for the reports of waves of scouts from dawn to dusk, and finally confirmed that Li Cunxiao had indeed withdrawn.

The news made the tense Liang Jun heave a sigh of relief.

Wang Yanzhang breathed a sigh of relief, he sat in front of the case, and ordered to the left and right: "These days the defense of the city must not be slack, any military affairs should be reported to me, understand?"

All the left and right responded one after another.

Then Wang Yanzhang picked up a roll of silk and prepared to write a report to the emperor, as well as the situation in Zezhou City, as well as his opinions on the handling of the forces of Daliang, Jin, Zhu Youqian, and Li Maozhen, but he hadn't finished writing yet. , because he was so tired, he slowly fell on the desk and fell asleep.

A group of waiters heard the snoring and entered the room, but they didn't wake Wang Yanzhang up, but put a quilt on him and retreated.

Since he became governor of Zezhou, Wang Yanzhang rectified military discipline, restrained soldiers, and was good at defense. At the same time, he did not harass the people, which gave Zezhou a respite.

At the same time, Wang Yanzhang was strict in governing the army without losing his compassion for the soldiers, and at the same time he had the courage to share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers, which made him very popular in the army.

……

night.

A team slowly drove towards Zezhou City from afar.

However, before the team reached the city wall, a long arrow flew down from the city wall.

Then I only heard a shout from above the city wall:
"People stop, where do you come from?"

The leader of the team was wearing Liang Jun's battle armor, pulled his horse forward, and said: "Brother, don't hurt the friendly army, your own people, your own people!"

"Recently when Li Cunxiao invaded Zezhou, the Inspector was worried about the safety of Zezhou, so he specially sent us to come, and we will be accompanied by food and supplies to reward the army.

We were all placed under General Wang's command! "The leading general shouted.

The gate guard of Liang Jun saw that there were indeed a lot of food, grass and supplies piled up under the city, and there were not many soldiers and horses, and he was wearing Liang Jun uniforms. come?

Wait until I report to the general. "

"It was supposed to arrive in a few days, but the governor was worried about the battle situation in Zezhou, so he made me spend the whole night.

Everything is easy to say, but the brothers have been driving for a few days, and they are exhausted. The cars and horses are exhausted, so please hurry up. "The leading general under the city looked at the gate guard on the city and said.

"Brother, work hard, just wait for a while, I'll be right back." The city gate guard had been watching the expressions of Liang Jun under the city, and saw that they were all dusty, embarrassed and exhausted, and he let go of his doubts for a while. .

So, he turned around and went down the city gate, heading all the way to Zezhou Governor's Mansion.

At the same time, another Jin army team, with their heads in their heads and horses wrapped around their hooves, slowly rushed towards Zezhou City in the dark.

When the army marched, there was almost no sound.
