Chapter 175: Putting a long line to catch a big fish

Ke Zhennan led his troops to flee back to Chengyang County City in panic. After returning to the city, he counted the troops. The huge losses made him feel broken and he was very angry.

He understood that he had been plotted by Chen Ning, and the other party took advantage of his flaws of revenge. If he did not pursue him, there would not be such a big casualty.

This made him even more resentful to Chen Ning, but he could only defend Chengyang County and recruit soldiers to supplement the troops next.

Chen Ning continued to set up camp and had no intention of siege.

And this flash, it was another five or six days.

Ke Zhennan was drinking a slutty wine in the mansion. He has been very frustrated these days. He has been fighting on the battlefield for so many years, but now he has been beaten to flee by a boy who has just first entered the battlefield. He is indignant in his heart. He has already started recruiting soldiers. As long as he recruits enough troops, he will immediately leave the city to destroy Chen Ning.

This time I have experience, I will definitely not be fooled!

If you hold your breath in your heart, you can easily cause bad things, so you naturally have to vent. The best way for men to vent is to women.

Hearing that the newly arrived courtesan of Yuelou was beautiful and lively, Ke Zhennan decided to vent his anger.

At this time, Zhu Hongying was cursing Chen Ning: "Damn Chen Ning, I have been pretending to be a woman with a fairy life for so long. Ke Zhennan hasn't come at all. How long does it take for me to wait! Fortunately, this store is an industry in Yin-Yang Road. If it were other companies, even if they were not selling their own skills, they would have to go out to pick up customers!"

Just as she complained, the madam dared to come in a hurry and whispered in her ear.

Zhu Hongying was happy and said, "Is it really here?"

Madam Zheng Keyou.

Zhu Hongying immediately asked her to go down and arrange it. After a moment, the madam led a middle-aged man into the house.

"General Ke, this is Miss Hong!" The madam smiled flatteringly, and then said to Zhu Hongying: "Hong'er, this is the guardian saint of our Chengyang County City, General Ke! You must treat it well and must not neglect it."

Zhu Hongying pretended to be shy and blushed slightly.

Ke Zhennan's eyes were already straightened. He heard that he was a beauty. Now that he saw it with his own eyes, he realized that the rumors were true!

"Everyone retreat!" Ke Zhennan was a little impatient and waved his hand quickly.

The madam retreated, and the escort who followed him stood in front of the door.

There were only two people left in the house. Zhu Hongying bowed her body and said respectfully: "General is here, please accept a prayer from my servant!"

Ke Zhennan smiled and said, "No gifts, I will indeed be on it after the review!"

At this moment, the aggrieved feeling of defeat disappeared without a trace.

Zhu Hongying felt disgusted and decided not to listen to Chen Ning's instigation in the future. She would not do anything like this even if she beat her to death.

"General, please sit down, I will toast you!" Zhu Hongying said gently.

Ke Zhennan nodded and looked at the beautiful wine brought by the beauty, but he said, "You can drink this glass first!"

Zhu Hongying did not hesitate and raised her head to drink the glass of wine. Her white neck was as white as ivory. Then, she poured another cup and gave it to Ke Zhennan.

Ke Zhennan took the wine glass and touched Zhu Hongying's hand. It is now soft and boneless.

Next, there will be romance and romance.

Thinking of this, Ke Zhennan raised his head and drank wine.

Unexpectedly, Ke Zhennan, who had just drunk wine, changed his face drastically. He covered his throat with both hands and showed a ferocious face. After a moment, he lay on the table and died of poison.

Zhu Hongying stood up to wash his hands, looked at the wine pot, and sneered: "I'm cautious, afraid that the wine will be poisoned. Unfortunately, under the Yin-Yang Pot in my Yin-Yang Road, aren't you still obediently attacked?"

The wine pot is called the Yin-Yang Pot. It has a mechanism for protecting the pot and can hold two kinds of wine, one is poisonous wine and the other is non-toxic wine. By twisting the lid of the pot, you can switch the poured wine.

When Ke Zhennan walked into the room, he was destined to be his life.

Then, Zhu Hongying dragged Ke Zhennan's body behind the screen, and she changed into a long skirt, dressed up in men's clothes, and jumped down from the back window and escaped from Mingyue Tower.

By the time the guard noticed something was wrong, it was too late and the murderer could not be found.

Later, news of Ke Zhennan's murder spread throughout Chengyang County. For a while, people were panicked and the morale of the army was disrupted.

Chen Ning saw Zhu Hongying return and asked in surprise: "Have you succeeded?"

Zhu Hongying glared at him and said, "Don't look for me in this kind of thing in the future! Humph..."

Chen Ning ignored her anger and laughed.

"General, Ke Zhennan is dead. The morale of the army will inevitably be floating in the city and panic. Should we attack the city now?" the army leader Chen Zhaoyuan asked hurriedly.

Chen Ning asked with a smile: "The city of Chengyang County is strong, and we have not prepared siege equipment. How to attack the city? Although Ke Zhennan is dead, the defenders in the city are still there, so siege is the best way to attack the city."

"How to take down Chengyang County City?" Chen Zhaoyuan couldn't help asking.

Chen Ning looked at the others.

Zhang Liao and Li Xiaojie looked at each other, and Li Xiaojie said, "The military strategy is full of military tactics. Attacking the city is the best, and attacking the heart is the best. Since Ke Zhennan is dead, we will come to the city and trap them in the city. After a long time, they will open the city to beg for mercy. General, father, my method is feasible?"

Li Ru glared at his son and snorted: "We have limited troops, and we still have some combat power when we twist together. We cannot surround Chengyang County City at all, and will even be defeated one by one."

Li Xiaojie scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.

Chen Ning looked at Zhang Liao, and Zhang Liao shook his head, saying that there was no good idea.

In general, Zhang Liao, Li Xiaojie and Shen Zhaoyuan are killing generals, suitable for killing enemies on the battlefield, rather than talented generals, and are not good at strategizing.

But there was another person in the tent at this time, that was Huo Tianxing.

After returning from the capital, this person followed Chen Ning. Except for some secret matters hidden from him, he did not hide other matters. Since it was arranged by the emperor, Chen Ning naturally wanted to let him see what he should see. During this period of time, Chen Ning found that this person had great perseverance. Even if his martial arts skills were not good, his perseverance was amazing.

"Huo Tianxing, what do you think we should do next?" Chen Ning asked.

Huo Tianxing thought carefully and felt that the possibility of taking down Chengyang County City was very slim. After all, the troops were there, so his general's target would definitely not be Chengyang County City.

If it weren't for Chengyang County, who would it be?

Thinking of Chen Ning and Li Ru's resourcefulness, and having made three steps in one step, he suddenly realized a possibility.

"The general's target is the reinforcements sent by Qingzhou?" Huo Tianxing said.

Chen Ning and Li Ru looked at each other, and they both smiled at the same time.

Seeing the smiles of the two, Zhang Liao, Li Xiaojie and others knew that Huo Tianxing had guessed correctly.

Zhang Liao said in surprise: "Yes, why did I forget this matter! Ke Zhennan lost his troops and generals, and he would definitely pass the news back to Qingzhou. In addition, Ke Zhennan was dead, and King Sima Jiong of Qi held a grudge against the general. He would definitely send troops to help him for the sake of protecting Chengyang County. We pretended to be stationed here, but in fact we went around to the north of Chengyang County, set up an ambush on the necessary official road of Qingzhou reinforcements, and destroyed Qingzhou reinforcements."

"This plan is wonderful!" Li Xiaojie's eyes lit up.

Chen Ning came to capture Chengyang County City, so everyone's eyes were on Chengyang County City, which was dark under the light. From the beginning, Chen Ning and Li Ru did not think about taking Chengyang County City.

If you use a long line to catch big fish, Chengyang County City will sooner or later fall into your hands. Why not use it to attract big fish?

"I have sent scouts to stare at Qingzhou City. Once Sima Jie sends troops to help, it will be the beginning of our ambush. You are obeying the order!" Chen Ning shouted.

Zhang Liao, Chen Zhaoyuan and Li Xiaojie immediately clasped their fists.

"This ambush of reinforcements in Qingzhou is led by Zhang Liao and Shen Zhaoyuan. You two lead 8,000 troops, while Li Xiaojie stayed in the military camp and arranged for the soldiers to continue to disguise the illusion of the entire army in the camp to confuse the enemy scouts." Chen Ning ordered.

The three of them immediately received the order.

Next, wait.

As the news of Ke Zhennan's assassination was transmitted back to Qingzhou City through the Eagle Newspaper, Sima Jiong was so angry that he almost had cerebral congestion.

Three of his five tiger generals actually died at Chen Ning's hands. How could he tolerate this?

"Come, come, speed up to summon five thousand elite troops, and then let Yao Zi bring me here!" Sima Jiong shouted.

Yao Ziduan was his son-in-law and was valued by him. Recently, the county was mainly born, so Yao Ziduan stayed in Qingzhou City and did not go to the front line. Ke Zhennan's death caused the angry Sima Jiong to immediately send Yao Ziduan to Chengyang County.

After Yao Ziduan met Sima Jiong, he led his troops out of the city, quickly assembled the army and set off.

In ancient times, transportation was inconvenient and marching speed was limited.

It was a few days after Chen Ning received the news from Qingzhou City. When Chen Ning learned that it was Yao Ziduan leading the troops, Chen Ning immediately smiled.

When Sima Yue ordered Li Yuanxiao to intercept Yao Ziduan on the Xuzhou border, Chen Ning spared his life for the sake of design. Unexpectedly, after going around in circles, it seemed that this person would have to die at his own hands.

Since you know the strength and time of the troops and time of Yao Zi's aid, you can calculate their location based on their marching speed. Then you send a scout to wait in advance to ensure their true position, and then choose a place suitable for ambushing.

When the opportunity came, Zhang Liao and Shen Zhaoyuan took advantage of the moonlight and led their troops out of the military camp.

During this period, Chen Ning had no action in stationing here, and had already taken Chengyang County City lightly, so Zhang Liao and Shen Zhaoyuan led their troops to leave, but were not noticed by the other scouts.

Zhang Liao and Shen Zhaoyuan led their troops westward, then walked northward, walking in the wilderness. Although the speed was a little slower, they were guaranteed to be hidden.

Four days later, I arrived at the setting up site.

This place is only seventy or eighty miles away from Chengyang County. It is the only way for Qingzhou soldiers to help, and it is also an excellent ambush.

There are mountains and forests on both sides, with only one north-south passage, which is just right to lie in ambush here.

Next is to wait quietly.

At noon on the third day, five thousand soldiers led by Yao Ziduan appeared. After entering the ambush, he found that the road ahead was full of trees, blocking the way.

Yao Ziduan was shocked and suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Chen Zhaoyuan hid in the mountains and forests on both sides. At this time, he saw the opportunity and shot an arrow immediately.

Yao Ziduan's expression changed drastically, but he did not expect that the enemy would lie here early.

Zhang Liao came from the rear of Yao Ziduan's troops and directly besieged Qingzhou troops.

There were trees in front blocking the way, and there were rains of arrows swarming in on both sides. Behind them were enemies, and they were completely wrapped in dumplings.

"Defense! Counterattack!"
