Chapter 303 306

[Chapter 3 and six]

In December, it was unspeakably cold in the north, and the wind and snow in Quanmengzhuang, Qizhou were violent, and the hoofs of the horses were frozen.In the boundless snowstorm, Chi Heng is full of confidence, and will divide into three ways, and act quietly from then on:

Shi Wei went east, assisted Yan Jian to wait for the opportunity to retreat, and lured Mo Wenshen step by step to the deep ground of Yanzhou, away from the capital.

Chi Heng went to the northernmost point of Qizhou, and together with Cen Pojing attacked the capital at the right time.

Rong Yue and Ji Ce led their soldiers to lie dormant and wait for the best opportunity.

Shi Wei has always been quick, and before leaving Chi Heng wanted to be gentle for a while, but Shi Wei smiled and said that it would not be too late to think about anything after taking the capital.After finishing his military uniform, he rode his horse eastward, and Chi Heng chased after him reluctantly, but the horse stepped on the snow like flying, and the tread marks raised by the horse's hooves were soon covered by the heavy snow without any trace.

Sending Shi Wei away, Chi Heng should go by himself.

The weather was so cold that his breath was freezing, Ji Celai lay in bed with his eyes closed and fell asleep, Ren Chiheng kissed his cheek and bare shoulders delicately, only his eyelashes trembled slightly, and then buried his cheeks in the pillowcase among.Chi Heng rubbed the long hair of the Commissioner for Discipline Policy on the pillow towel, and whispered in his ear, "Vice Envoy Ji, I'm leaving, take care, see you in the capital."

After finishing speaking, he strode up to his feet, and a gust of cold air swept in from the opened door.

The warm shoulders turned cold in an instant, but Ji Ce remained motionless, listening to the vigorous steps gradually drifting away.

Rong Yue, who saw Chi Heng off, rubbed his dry and cold hands, his face was thin and his nose was red from the cold, but his face was full of joy.The long-awaited counterattack is finally coming. How can Rong Yue not be excited about the opportunity to avenge his humiliation?Chi Heng put on the cold helmet and said reluctantly: "Rong Yue, the attacks and retreats of me, Cen Pojing, Shi Wei, and Yan Jian are all laying the groundwork for your attacks. We won when you win. .”

Rong Yue raised a smile: "Can you still not trust me?"

Chi Heng patted his waist with the back of his hand: "Also, take good care of Ji Ce for me!"

"...I can still be ambiguous about this? Whose heart is Ji Ce! Haha, let me know, with me here, what are you afraid of! Okay, I know, you put your heart by my side to let me listen His strategy! I have suffered from Li Yuqi, and I won't suffer a second time, so you just have to rest assured!" Rong Yue was full of ambition, and his eyes that had been depressed were shining brightly at this moment.

Let's say that at the end of December, the war started again.

On the other side of Yanzhou, Yan Jian and Shi Wei retreated and retreated, Mo Wen participated in the attack and became more and more brave. A table banquet was set up to celebrate.Some courtiers were happy to see him, so they talked about the previous dynasty. The founding emperor of the previous dynasty recovered Yanzhou first, and then recovered the eastern front line. Heng's soldiers will all be forced to withdraw from the northern front.

Zheng Yi was even more delighted to hear that.

At this time, Cen Pojing and Chi Heng began to attack the capital intensively.Although it was far from the point where soldiers were approaching the city, it still made Zheng Yi very angry.After thinking twice, he finally adopted General Qi Yongliang's idea and dispatched part of Li Yuqi's troops to attack Cen Pojing.

Let's talk about Li Yuqi.

When Li Yuqi heard the news of Tao Xiao's imprisonment, he knew that something was wrong.The emperor was most jealous of the high meritorious deeds, and the emperor was far away. No one in the court would support him as strongly as Tao Xiao, and the most frightening thing was that those courtiers might wait for an opportunity to slander him, and he might not even be able to protect himself.

Sure enough, Zheng Yi soon ordered to mobilize troops, and Li Yuqi was angry and desperate when he got the order.

His attack is hasty and bold, and he must go forward without hesitation, and the most unbearable thing is tossing.With the emperor's dispatch, Qizhou's attack will inevitably come to a standstill.

But how could Li Yuqi beat the emperor.

Even a great general can't stand against the edicts that flew over one after another. Li Yuqi watched his soldiers being sent out, his heart was like a knife, he was so angry that he spit out blood from his throat, but even the bright red blood could resist it. But the general situation has been decided, he can only hold the spear in his hand and plunge it into the snow.

Chi Heng was relieved when he got the news of Zheng Yi's withdrawal.

When General Qi Yongliang of the Zheng Yi Army led his troops to attack, he and Cen Pojing deliberately pretended to be defeated. They not only withdrew from Changcang Pass, but even retreated several miles to the south. The whole army deliberately scattered, as if vulnerable Same.The Qianyuan army was far away from the capital, and Zheng Yi became happier and more determined to transfer troops from Qizhou.

But Zheng Yi didn't expect that what Chi Heng used was a trick to hide the truth.

He and Cen Pojing did not retreat to the south, but quietly attacked Kaizhou, which is adjacent to Qizhou, and they got closer and closer to Rong in terms of distance.

As soon as Li Yuqi was withdrawn, the attack plan was disrupted. Before the adjustment was completed, there were rumors spread by Ji Ce that the emperor would draw troops again. Qi Yongliang's main attack on Cen Pojing's battle report made Li Yuqi even more desperate.At this moment, he got a secret report, and suddenly he felt as if he was plunged into ice.

The secret report said: Tao Xiao tried to get the emperor to change his strategy because of repeated admonitions, but the emperor firmly refused. In despair, Tao Xiao hit the wall and died.

Did it die?Li Yuqi didn't believe it.

Unexpectedly, three secret reports came one after another to confirm this matter, and even the courtier who had the best relationship with Li Yuqi among the courtiers also sent a secret letter, asking him to take care.Li Yuqi had a staunch personality, and that night he got drunk with depression and anger, and cursed the emperor for being blind.The news quickly spread to Zheng Yi with added fuel and vinegar, and Zheng Yi's face was livid.

From December to mid-January, the Northern Front is in full swing.

Qi Yongliang, in particular, beat Cen Pojing to "hell and shackles" and "nowhere to escape" several times, which inspired Zheng Yi and the courtiers, and everyone became more determined to drive away from Yanzhou and northern Qizhou. The confidence of the soldiers, and the emperor issued a second order, ordering Li Yuqi to strictly guard the eastern border of Qizhou, withdraw [-] troops, and assist Qi Yongliang to drive out the powerful enemy.

At the same time, on January [-]th, Rong Yue finally launched an attack on Li Yuqi.

This attack was a suicidal self-inflicted danger, and Rong Yue led his troops into Li Yuqi's heavy siege.Li Yuqi, who was enraged, did not lose his mind, and took the challenge calmly, and the battle almost formed a circle to envelop Rong Yue.When Rong Yue was imprisoned to death, Li Yuqi thought that Rong Yue would be captured alive.

Rong Yue suddenly used a golden cicada's trick to escape, and escaped without a trace.

Li Yuqi was wondering when the battle report came. Xin Que, who had been silent for a long time in Beizhou, had quietly arrived in Qizhou at some point. When Li Yuqi's encircled troops attacked Rong Yue, Xin Que attacked the east side of Li Yuqi's army, and the offensive extremely ferocious.Suffering from the sudden attack, Li Yuqi looked around involuntarily and fought hard to meet the enemy.

Rong Yuezao conspired with Xin Que and led [-] remnants towards Xin Que.

In this way, [-] troops became [-] troops.Rong Yue transported troops like a god, was also brave and good at fighting, and fell into a fierce battle with Li Yuqi.

Li Yuqi knew that it wasn't just Xin Que who came, and he believed that Liang Qianlie from Beizhou would also descend like a magic soldier. This was Chi Heng's consistent strategy.The Qianyuan army's troops and soldiers are also limited, so at this moment, all the Qianyuan army in Xinbei Prefecture should be dispatched to attack Qizhou, and there is no need for heavy troops to confront Xinbei Prefecture.The most important thing is to draw troops from Xinbei Prefecture to help him. As for Xinbei Prefecture, it is not a strategically important place at all.

Li Yuqi's letter of aid spread to the capital.

But it didn't get approval, because Zheng Yi absolutely didn't allow any place in the whole line to be void, even Xinbei Prefecture, which is far away from the capital.But Zheng Yi did not ignore it, he ordered the generals of Changling Prefecture to lead troops to help.It's just that the weather is cold, and the terrain of Changling Prefecture is rugged, and the soldiers are out of reach. On the way, they encountered Huo Chu's attack, and the rescue army was delayed.

And just as Li Yuqi expected, Liang Qianlie's attack arrived soon.

Fighting hard against the enemy.

There is no tacit understanding between Xin Que and Liang Qianlie, but the more tolerant he is, he deploys troops, dispatches generals, and deploys formations by surprise.

On the other hand, Li Yuqi, although there was no chaos, his troops had been reduced a lot, and he couldn't get support. He was also depressed, and he was full of grief and indignation from top to bottom.

These were not what worried Li Yuqi the most.

end of January.

Cen Pojing, who was driven by Qi Yongliang to "have nowhere to escape", suddenly appeared at the border between Qizhou and Kaizhou, and, like a different army, he changed from "retreating steadily" to "advancing by leaps and bounds". ".Only then did Li Yuqi really fall into dire straits.

At the same time, the counterattacks of Yan Jian and Shi Wei in Yanzhou suddenly intensified.

Mo Wenshen's troops were all held back.

Seeing that Li Yuqi's letter was almost written in blood, Zheng Yicai was too late to regret it. At this moment, he knew that Li Yuqi's troops could not retreat.Although the capture of Yanzhou, Qizhou and Xinbeizhou of the Kongkong several times has paralyzed the whole situation, it is too late to regret, and the general situation is set.Li Yuqi was chased and intercepted by several powerful enemies, and all the troops from Qizhou to Kaizhou were subtly disintegrated.

This battle of the Qianyuan army was like a wonderful series of tricks, not to mention Li Yuqi's tens of thousands of soldiers, it also disintegrated Zheng Yijun's entire eastern front force.

Li Yuqi had no choice but to walk as the best policy, abandoning his troops and fleeing.

Qizhou Kaizhou lost.

Just like the gate of the city was opened, the Qianyuan army turned from Kaizhou to attack the capital without any effort, and in the middle of half a month, they turned to the city.

Zheng Yi couldn't believe it, he couldn't believe that Li Yuqi's army was broken like this, and the instigator was his own recruiting.Li Yuqi came back with armor covered in blood, and knelt in front of Zheng Yi. He didn't talk about the battle, he didn't talk about victory or defeat, he just said with ashen face: "My lord, I beg you to see Prime Minister Tao for the last time!"

Zheng Yi closed his eyes, and said slowly for a long time: "Tao Xiao is right, he will watch me flee north in a hurry."

Li Yuqi's eyes were dark: "Tao Xiao, are you dead?"

Tao Xiao is not dead, but it is no different from death. He is covered in injuries, and even if he opens his eyes, he doesn't recognize anyone else.Li Yuqi held his hand, unable to vent his anger and tragedy, choked up and couldn't speak: "Tao Xiang, Tao Xiang, we are still defeated."

Tao Xiao lay quietly, his eyes were not opened, and there was no expression on his face.

Li Yuqi was tied up by Wuhuada and thrown into the dungeon. According to military discipline, he should be sentenced to death and executed at a certain date.He didn't have any struggle or resistance, he just said quietly: "Your Majesty, please leave the capital, otherwise, you will never be able to get out again."
