Taiping Inn

Since the governor of Qizhou reorganized his army, the situation in Qizhou has improved greatly. Although the Qingyang Sect is known as a hundreds of thousands of troops, it is mostly a mob. In addition to moving forward, as long as the imperial army seizes the opportunity to fight. It will immediately be completely defeated.

The crisis in Qizhou now does not lie in the use of troops, but in the government. Because of the famine in Qizhou, Qingyang sects launched a big deal. After quelling the rebellion, there was still no food to provide relief to the victims. In order to survive, the people still had to continue to rebel. The Governor of Qizhou also He could not do a large-scale massacre, so he could only run away and put out the fire.

However, in this process, the official army continued to consume, while the Qingyang Sect was like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger.

Chu Yunshen just returned to Dongchang Prefecture from Guide Prefecture, he summoned generals of all sizes in the city. Although he had no official position, the name "Shadow Governor" was not called for nothing. None of the generals dared to disobey this person. Don't know sir.

At this time, a young general was explaining the current battle situation of Dongchang Prefecture to Chu Yunshen: "Bai Jue, in the name of General Tiangong, Tang Zhou, led his army into Qizhou to help General Tiangong, Tang Qin, who was known as a large army of 100,000, but according to the The subordinates' stupid opinions are just some mobs, most of whom are bandits, and there will be no more than 10,000 troops to fight."

Chu Yunshen sat in a wheelchair, looked up at the huge map, and said, "A hundred thousand people, even if it is one hundred thousand pigs, we will be able to kill them even if we don't move. I'm very curious. , what did Bai Jue use to support so many people?”

A middle-aged general stood up and replied, "Report to Mr. Chu, according to the spy's reward, the Qingyang Cult's fosterers live with porridge, which is almost the same as water, and one meal a day, but only before the war, they will have a full meal. There is only two dough cakes."

Chu Yunshen pointed gently and said, "Dongchang Prefecture is surrounded by water on both sides and backed by mountains on the other side. It has been an easy and difficult place to defend since ancient times. If you were Bai Jue from Qingyang Sect, how would you attack the city?."

A general hesitated and said, "This year, the food is completely supported by other prefectures. If Bai Jue surrounds and does not attack, and the food is completely exhausted in the city, he can win without fighting."

Another civil servant dressed as a military officer and said, "But Qingyang Cult is also short of food."

A scholar wearing a blue cotton robe said: "According to the students' opinions, Qingyang Church is good at fighting in the field and short of siege. We might as well retreat the border troops of each town, which can not only reduce the distance to transport grain, but also gather troops. , the major passes rely on each other, connecting dots into lines, so that they can resist the Qingyang Sect army."

After he finished speaking, before Chu Yunshen could speak, a general had already scolded: "What a scholar's opinion! How did those cities be lost in the past? If you dare not fight in the field, how could you talk about relying on each other? You can only be by Qingyang The sect will just break through one by one. Even if the Qingyang Sect is not good at siegeing the city, they just need to siege and not attack, which will put our army in a dilemma. If we save it, it will be difficult to fight against the Qingyang Sect in the field, and it will become a force of siege and attacking aid. , If not rescued, the defenders in the city will have to open the city and surrender after they are out of food. The lesson of involvement is right in front of you, how can you not observe it! "

The literati was confronted by his face and his face turned red with anger. He wanted to argue but didn't know where to start. He could only force himself: "What kind of tricks does General Du have? Why not tell me! Since Qingyang Sect can't do it? If we attack the city easily, then we just need to wait for reinforcements. Why do we need to use attack as the defense?”

The general surnamed Du said calmly: "The Qingyang Sect will not move lightly, but it is not moving. In my opinion, as long as they find that the city of Dongchang is empty and a paper tiger, then he will not hesitate to put aside the bandits and decisively We must attack the city, so we must take the initiative to attack and defend. If we shrink our troops as you said and be afraid before fighting, wouldn’t we clearly tell Qingyang Sect that our Dongchang Prefecture has no battle at all. force?!"

Chu Yunshen said, "This is the reason. If there are less than 10,000 troops who can fight, how can the Qingyang Sect have the confidence to siege the city?"

There was silence in the hall.

Chu Yunshen continued: "The Qingyang Sect is carrying refugees in charge, and uses refugees to consume the crossbows, arrows, artillery and arrows of our official army. After the official army is exhausted, then dispatch elite troops and make a decision. And their ten thousand can The battle troops are all elite horse teams, which is the foundation for them to traverse several states without falling. The reason why Liangzhou and Qinzhou were lost was the same. The northwest defense line built by the Governor of Qin was the Fortress Village. To stop the Jin Horde army, known as one village with ten miles and one fort, five miles and one fort, are closely listed among various passes. However, judging by the repeated attacks of the Jin Horde army, if there is no way to go out of the city to fight in the field, Cavalry or heavy infantry, then these points will never be connected into lines and can only be broken. Now Dongchang Prefecture seems solid, but can the defenders in the city dare to go out of the city to fight the Qingyang Sect's cavalry? If you dare not fight, or if you fight without success, Dongchang Prefecture is equivalent to an isolated city."

The generals in the hall looked solemn, and there was no sign of ease like that before.

At this moment, a high-necked and deep-necked Qingluan Guard quietly walked into the lobby and whispered softly in Chu Yunshen's ear: "I just received the urgent report. Qingyang Sect took the city with the spies, Yanggu The county and Pingyang County were lost. "

Chu Yunshen glanced at him, and the commander of the Qingluan Guard took a step back and lowered his head slightly.

Chu Yunshen, sitting in a wheelchair, stood up and whispered: "The government army is guarding the city, and this is the ending, but if he rashly leaves the city, he will be wiped out."

Chu Yunshen closed his eyes, placed his hands on his lower abdomen and crossed his fingers, and said calmly: "Go and write to Governor Ding, telling him not to investigate any imperial party. Please ask the Qingluanwei under his command to check it carefully. Qingyang scholar spies in the state."

Nympho

Lanling Mansion, Qingluanwei Commander's Office.

A man who looked about forty years sat on a cloud bed, looked at Fang Shisan who was kneeling in front of him, and slapped his hand and said, "The ground is cold, don't kneel."

"Thank you Governor." Fang Shisan stood up from the ground, his face pale and dim.

This man is Ding Ce, one of the three commanders of Qingluan Guards, known as the "Great Thunderbolt".

Ding Ce supported his hands on his knees, his upper body was straight, and his face was faintly smiling, saying, "The war in Qizhou was not good, it was just that the Governor and the Cabinet were furious. But the investigation of the Imperial Party was not done well, but Neither the Silijian nor the Empress Dowager will be happy, so my life is very difficult for me to live."

Fang Shisan whispered, "Please punish the governor."

Ding Ce said without comment: "Now the message is being sent by the Governor's Office in Qizhou. The person who sent the message is the famous shadow governor. Others don't know his background, but I know that he is the eleventh in the black and white spectrum. I don’t know that sir, you should not underestimate it. The minimum face is still to be given, so I want to go to Dongchang Mansion. As for Pei Zhou’s affairs, I will give you my warrant, or give it to you to deal with it. I hope this time Don't let me down."

Fang Shisan respectfully accepted the order and said, "Yes, please rest assured, Governor."

Ding Ce picked up the tea bowl on the small table beside him.

Fang Shisan understood and stood up and retreated.

A moment later, a woman walked out of the inner hall and said softly: "The Great Wei Dynasty is not the Great Wei Dynasty of Eunuch Liu. Although the matter about Pei Zhou and Qin Daofang was sent by Eunuch Liu, it is impossible for Eunuch Liu to be vain. If you say this for no reason, it is the Queen Mother’s meaning, and you should not neglect it.”

Ding Ce put down the teacup in his hand, ignored it, and asked, "How are the tributes of the Empress Dowager's birthday?"

The woman said to the outside, "Come on."

Four Qingluan Guards walked into the house in an iron cage, and there were a pair of rare white deer in the cage.

The woman took out a piece of paper from her sleeve, "This is the gift list for entering Beijing this time. The Empress Dowager has always liked auspiciousness and was still white, so I spent a lot of effort to find this pair of white deer. The Empress Dowager must be happy when she saw it. ”

Ding Ce got up and came to the iron cage, teased Bai Lu, and smiled and said, "It's interesting."
