Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 579 Dongguan
On the Dongguan Embankment, there are more and more reinforcements.

There are six thousand people.

Deng Xia held a shield in his left hand and a sword in his right hand, looking at the Jin army in Guan Guan, "Raising troops for a thousand days can be used for a moment. The enemy's foothold is not stable and the people's hearts are not yet determined, so we can attack!"

Liang Guo divided the fields and houses, allowing these soldiers to have enough food and clothing for several years.

Many people are originally from the north and don't have much sense of belonging to Jiangdong.

Even Deng Xia was from the north, his ancestral home was Chen County, Chen County, the same hometown as Yuan Zhen.

Daliang is an orthodox Chinese dynasty and the superior state of the Jin Dynasty, which adds a bit of identity.

In recent years, due to the propaganda of Honglu officials, his thinking has already changed. The bad things of the Sima family and the dirty behavior of the emperors and ministers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty have long been known to everyone.

People like Zu Ti, Li Ju, Su Jun, and Zhou Qi were defeated not by the Hu people, but by the Jin Dynasty monarchs and ministers.

Especially Zu Ti, a great hero like Liu Kun, was angered to death by the Sima family...

Everyone has a steelyard in their hearts.

In the past, when the barbarians were raging in the north, they could only follow the Sima family. Now that the Liang Kingdom has risen, it is clear who is "conquering China" when comparing the north and the south.

"I would like to fight with the general!" The soldiers raised their swords and spears.

"Kill!" Deng Xia held his sword and shield and took the lead, climbing the city on the long ladder. He was like a flying ape and jumped up to Dongguan in a few clicks.

He raised a knife in his hand and chopped down one person.

There were more than ten Jin troops besieging them, but Deng Xia was as strong as ten and refused to retreat. He displayed the momentum of an enemy of ten thousand and fought with all his strength.

Many people in Huan Chong's army knew Deng Xia. They pitied him for being slandered and were intimidated by his power, so no one dared to step forward.

Only two military governors, Zhu Xian and Zhu Bin, came to surround and kill him.

When Deng Xia saw the two thieves, he went into a fight with anger. He was not afraid of swords and spears like a forest. He marched forward with his bodyguards, wearing several wounds on his body, and beheaded Zhu Xian. Zhu Bin was so frightened that he retreated.

Liang Jun descended on the city one after another.

Although the troops are small, their momentum is like a rainbow.

However, a man in the Jin army, holding a double halberd, collided with Deng Xia head-on, "Do you know the evil man from Jiangdong Town?"

The swords and halberds intersected, and sparks flew everywhere.

Deng Xia raised his eyes and saw that it was Huan Shiqian. During Huanwen's northern expedition to Guanzhong, Huan Chong was surrounded by the Qin army. Huan Shiqian rode into the formation alone and rescued Huan Chong from the rebel army. No one in the Qin army dared to challenge him. Front.

The two fought bloody battles at the top of the city, and the two armies fought at the narrow pass.

Although Liang Jun was powerful, he still had few troops and was not an elite force. It was a fierce battle and both sides suffered heavy casualties.

Huan Chong, who was watching the battle from the rear, was heartbroken. There were not many elites in Jiangdong, and one less one died. Huan Chong advised: "Deng Yingyuan, the situation in Dongguan is over, why not surrender early?"

Deng Xia slashed Huan Shiqian open with his sword. Looking back to the left and right, he saw that nearly half of the soldiers were injured and killed. The enemy was so armored that they had no chance to recapture Dongguan.

The attack on the city was based on momentum. If Huan Shiqian hadn't stopped him, Huan Chong's head would have been taken off by now.

"Suppressing the evil man, suppressing the evil man, it is really extraordinary." Deng Xia was covered in blood and pointed his sword forward, but no one in the Jin army dared to move forward.

Only Huan Shiqian was holding his halberds and preparing to fight again.

Unexpectedly, Deng Xia cut off Zhu Xian's head and retreated with his men.

"Father!" A general on the top of the city cried loudly, but it was Zhu Chuo, the son of Zhu Xian.

Huan Shiqian wanted to pursue him.

At this time, there were still more than a thousand Liang troops under the city who had not yet attacked, waiting in formation.

"Dongguan is in hand, don't chase the poor bandit, let him go." Huan Chong was afraid of being killed.

To keep Deng Xia, at least two to three thousand troops would have to be sacrificed...

At this moment, the city gate of Hefei is wide open.

Five thousand black cloud troops were arrayed outside the city.

Looking at the dark city gate, Liang Xiao did not dare to enter anyway.Dongguan is lost and Hefei is lost. As long as Shouchun is in hand, we can take it back with a counterattack in the future.

But if the five thousand elites in his hands are gone, it will be difficult for Shouchun to resist the Jin army's Northern Expedition.

Shouchun is gone and Huainan returns to Jiangdong. This will be the biggest failure since the founding of Daliang.

So Liang Xiao had to be cautious.

Everything that happened showed that there was something wrong with Yuan Zhen.

"After a stick of incense, Yuan Zhen did not go out of the city to greet him, but followed me into the city!" Liang Xiao said with murderous intent. He chose the safest method.

If he killed him wrongly, he would be removed from his official position or Yuan Zhen's life would be spared, but his heirs would be taken care of by the court. However, if Hefei fell, he, the general of Nanzhong, would be responsible for dereliction of duty.

He followed the emperor to conquer the land of Liang State with sword and spear, and there was no room for loss.

Yuan Zhen in the city did not come out to explain, which further confirmed that there was something wrong in his mind.

"Wei!" A group of black clouds accepted the order.

The cold wind suddenly picked up, the flags were flapping, and the black cloud army became more and more murderous.

A stick of incense passed quickly.

Liang Xiao stood up before the troops and was preparing to attack the city. Several horses came galloping from the north and said, "General Wei, wait a moment. Your Majesty has an order coming."

The person who came was none other than Yuan Jin, the son of Yuan Zhen.

As soon as he heard the edict, Liang Xiao lowered his long stick again...

Yecheng.

"Dongguan was lost?" Li Yue frowned.

In the end, Huan Wen succeeded.

Looking back at the whole process of the alienation plan, it is actually not very subtle, but it just happened to take advantage of Yuan Zhen's compassion.

"Deng Xia led his troops to recapture it, but was blocked by Huan Chong and Huan Shiqian. He killed Zhu Xian and returned, killing more than [-] people and severely damaging the Jin army. Huan Chong did not dare to advance north and stood firm at Dongguan. General Youwei led five Qian Heiyun's army almost collided with Yuan Zhenhuo..." Yang Lue told various news from the south.

Lu Qing held a memorial and said, "Yuan Zhen's apology letter has just been delivered."

There is no doubt that Yuan Zhen was responsible for dereliction of duty. He had Deng Xia and Zhu Fu at his side but did not use them, so he sent his two dandy sons to guard Dongguan.

Moreover, when Jiang Dong persuaded him to surrender, he must have been shaken, and then he fell into Huan Wen's trap step by step.

After successive great victories, it is inevitable that the army will underestimate the enemy.

Yuan Zhen's life has been so good these past few years, Jiang Dong has always been timid, and no one thought that Huan Wen would really dare to take action.

Li Yue casually looked at Yuan Zhen's apology letter and threw it on the table. "If you have any mistakes, you will be punished. If you have merit, you will be rewarded. Yuan Zhen will be exempted from being the general of the Zuofu Army and the governor of Luzhou. He will be promoted to the right minister of the Ministry of War when he enters the court." Deng Xia is the governor of Luzhou, Zhu Fu is the Sima of Luzhou, General Jianwei, and Yuan Jin is the governor of Luzhou."

Yuan Zhen is indeed old and is not suitable to stay on the front line. It is better to return to Yecheng to take care of his old age, so that everyone can feel more at ease.

Two things can be confirmed in this battle. First, Deng Xia and Zhu Fu are loyal to Daliang. Second, Jiangdong has been recuperating for several years, has recovered some strength, and is starting to make moves again.

"Dongguan was lost, but fortunately Hefei is still in our hands, and General Liang is organizing a counterattack." Cui Hong said with cupped hands.

"If Liang Xiao moves, Huan Wen will support him. If Huan Wen moves, Fu Jian will definitely attack. Don't forget, they have just formed an alliance. They sent envoys to reprimand Jiangdong. They did not have the courtesy of going down to the country, and asked them to return Dongguan and the captured soldiers."

Li Yue looked at the flying snow outside the palace, feeling that the year had come to an end again.

Liang Guo is still in the stage of recuperation and recuperation, so it is not appropriate to launch a war. It can be best solved through diplomatic means.

Although Dongguan was lost, Hefei was still in hand, which was harmless.

But later, the Liang Navy and the Jiangdong Navy faced each other head-on in Chao Lake.

This is not a bad thing. Only when the two sides fight will they realize how big the gap is.

Navy soldiers are also not trained, but killed on the battlefield.
