On the banks of Yishui River in Henan County, a large army that could not be seen at first sight was advancing eastward. This was the army that Li Mi, who had just been defeated in the battle of Luokoutan, urgently summoned by him. As far as his eyes were concerned, a banner was flying like the sea, the sword light was like snow, and the spear was like clouds. The last power of the Wei Kingdom, which had been in the Central Plains for many years, was exerted. The Wei army formed by various rebels was as powerful as the army.
On the hillside near the main road, Wang Dangren, the general of the Zuowu Guard, was watching his own energetic army. For a moment, it seemed that the feeling of boundless power was filled with his mind, and an extremely powerful force was held in his hands.
As if he had seen his thoughts, Zuo Sima Yang Defang smiled and said, "What a mighty army! The general is really amazing!"
Although it was a word of praise, Yang Defang said it with such a smile, with an unpredictable smile on his face. Wang Dangren frowned slightly, feeling very uncomfortable, and couldn't figure out whether the weird white-faced scholar was praising or sarcasm.
Wang Dangren was from the bottom of the class, and he always felt a deep sense of inferiority when facing a very well-educated family of aristocratic families like Yang Defang. Because of this, he showed off his arrogance and rudeness, and always showed his thick muscles and scars in front of others, and showed off his face. I am a rude man and look down on you weak scholars who are talking! Trying to use his rudeness to overwhelm the elegant demeanor that he envies but cannot imitate.
Wang Dangren's nostrils snorted towards the sky, as if he hadn't heard Yang Defang's words. He ignored him.
As a military supervisor, Yang Defang looked elegant and elegant, and the scholarly atmosphere was a bit of a soldier's heroic spirit. He was born in the Yang family, and the Yang family had many wealthy families in the Yang family. Many of his children were officials, and they were considered to be a "famous family" among the Han people in the Central Plains. Yang Defang's performance was also worthy of the family. He was always considered to be the best among the Yang family's children in this generation. His temperament and demeanor even Yang Guang praised him and personally awarded him the position of Xinzheng County Magistrate. If it weren't for Li Mi's capture of Xingyang, he would have had to surrender to Wagang, he might have now reached the prefectural position. Despite this, after surrendering to Li Mi, Li Mi also attached great importance to him and appointed him as the Left Sima of Wei.
Seeing Wang Dangren's rude man, Yang Defang laughed without being angry. Before Li Mi led his army to fight in person, he once told him: Wang Dangren has three characteristics: rudeness, rudeness, brutality and courage in the war, and one is ugly.
Looking up from the side, Wang Dangren's furry face like a monkey, his ears like a cow, his nose like a dog, his eyes like a mouse, and his bulky body like a bear, he has an indescribable ugliness. If he is also smart as a pig, Yang Defang quickly turned his face away to prevent Wang Dangren from discovering the sneer on his face.
After sorting out his expression, Yang Defang spoke solemnly: "General, you won the first battle in Jinyong City this time. He attacked the Zheng army in Heyang and made us more prestigious. The King of Wei is very happy!"
Since Li Mi mentioned, Wang Dangren, Li Mi's confidant, naturally put away his arrogant and rude expression. He immediately said respectfully, "It is up to the King of Wei Hongfu to come, so I will not dare to take credit for it."
"However, although the general defeated the invading enemy troops in Heyang, he just drove them away. Now the enemy troops in Heyang are still stationed in the Beim Mountain area. The general ignored the previous orders of the King of Wei and brought most of the troops in Jinyong City to Luokou. I am afraid that the King of Wei may not like you forgot your military orders because of your loyalty!"
"Enough!" Wang Dangren's angry face was like a monkey's red butt. Even the thick layer of hair on his face could not stop his anger. He shouted, "Before the King of Wei went to war, he granted me the right to deal with it on the spot. Now the war in Xingyang and other counties is unfavorable, and the King of Wei is trapped in Luokou. The King of Wei has issued an order to serve the king. At this time, I will not rush to reinforce. When will I wait? Although Jin Yong is important, how can I compare with King of Wei Anran. The battle in Luokou has become a decisive battle. One battle will determine the future of our country of Wei. What can we hesitate at this moment? Yang Sima opposes it repeatedly, but is hesitant?"
Faced with Wang Dangren's sudden counterattack, Yang Defang's smile suddenly froze on the corner of his mouth. He had always thought that Wang Dangren was a brave and unscrupulous man, but he did not expect that he could say such words at the critical moment. He blocked Wang Dangren and led his army eastward, mainly because he was worried that Jin Yong would be in trouble, and that the Wei army would be cut off by then. But at this time, Wang Dangren's words would be different if they were heard by the King of Wei in the future.
After smirking, Yang Defang said a little embarrassedly, "I am just asking the King of Wei to give advice to the general, and I am definitely not a little bit of a double intention."
A cavalry messenger hurriedly appeared under the hillside in his sight and rushed straight. Wang Dangren's guard was about to intercept him. Yang Defang saw the messenger's sweaty look very anxious, and hurriedly said to Wang Dangren: "General, let him come over!"
Wang Dangren waved his hand and the guard let go of the interception. The cavalry jumped off his horse, hurriedly ran away without even sweating, and knelt on one knee: "Urgent military information to the general!"
Wang Dangren snorted: "Tell me!"
"Hebei troops launched a large-scale attack. Chen Pojun, Li Jing, and Luo Yi attacked from Henan, Hebei and Shandong, defeating many troops from our army! Hulao Pass was lost, Jindi Pass was lost, and all the six counties east of the Tongji Channel of the Canal were lost! Huang Junhan rebelled and surrendered, and Bing Yuanzhen rebelled and surrendered. More than 200,000 troops and horses of the six counties were captured and surrendered. At present, Luo Yi guarded Jindi, Hulao, Chen Pojun, and Li Jing had approached Luokou where the King of Wei was located!"
Wang Dangren and Yang Defang were both shocked at the same time, and Yang Defang asked first: "Chen Pojun, how strong is Li Jing?"
"Hebei army has a very strong military force. Rumor has it that he has mobilized all the troops in Hebei, Shandong and other places, and has reorganized all prisoners and collected all prisoners of war, with a force of up to 300,000!"
Wang Dangren and Yang Defang looked at each other and saw the fear in each other's eyes. The Wei army used to be known as the most soldiers in the world, and the bandits of various rebels recruited in a messy manner totaled 600,000 to 700,000, reaching the point where they were full of soldiers. But in fact, there were not many soldiers who could fight. Before, Chen Pojun and Wang Xuan had only 150,000 or 600,000 people, and defeated the Wei King's army in Luokou. They captured Luokou Cang and Hulao, and now more troops emerged. For a moment, the two of them were in fear.
What's even more terrifying is that Chen Pojun's current target clearly aims directly at the King of Wei's formation. The King of Wei now has only about 100,000 people and is surrounded. Once Chen Pojun's army arrives, who can stop him? If the King of Wei makes a mistake, the Wei State will surely collapse immediately and no longer exists.
Wang Dangren roared like thunder and cursed, "Huang Junhan and Bing Yuanzhen, these two shameless people, actually rebel and surrender. Are the defenders of Luokoucang City, Hulao, and Jindi Pass all dead people, and tens of thousands of troops, even tens of thousands of troops cannot stop for a moment..."
When Yang Defang saw Wang Dangren full of anger, he was about to rush to Luokou, and hurriedly grabbed him and said, "General, please wait, Chen and Zheng have strong troops. If we take such a risk, we will only add fuel to the tactics. Not only will it not solve the problem, but it will only waste our strength."
"What do you think you will do? Will you be able to die here?" Wang Dangren shouted.
"Of course not." Yang Defang shook his head and said, "General, we are not the only soldiers who are going to Luokou all the way. Right Sima Zheng Detao, left chief Zheng Bing, right chief Zheng Qianxiang, Wuyang County Gong Yuanbaozang, Li Yang general manager Li Wenxiang, Huanshui general manager Zhang Sheng, Qinghe general manager Zhao Junde, Jianghuang general manager Zhou Faming, Rencheng general manager Xu Shiren, Huaiyang prefect Zhao Da, and ten troops are on the way to Luokou. In addition, Yanshi City also has the 50,000 troops of generals Wang Gui, Tiger Ben general Sun Changle, and Baihua Valley also has the 30,000 troops of the two generals, Xu Shiji and Shan Xiongxin."
"What do you mean?" Wang Dangren asked with some confusion.
Yang Defang suppressed his contempt and said patiently, "General, we only have 40,000 troops. It would be useless to rush to Luokou at this time. But if we can gather reinforcements from various ways in the Black Stone near Luokou Cang City, then we can accumulate at least 180,000 troops. In this way, we not only have enough troops, but also have many generals such as Shan Xiongxin, Xu Shiji, Sun Changle, and Wang Gui. As long as we gather together to aid the King of Wei, we will be able to defeat Chen Pojun in one fell swoop."
Wang Dangren thought about it and thought that this plan was really good. At least, it was much better than taking the risk alone. Although he was very conceited, he knew that compared with Xu Shiji, Shan Xiongxin and others, he was still much worse in terms of martial arts or wisdom. If he could pull them up, the chances of victory in this trip would be greatly increased.
Then I thought, if this battle really defeated the Hebei army and Chen Pojun, then this title must be his. I was extremely happy for a moment, and I felt refreshed. I waved my hand and said, "Yang Sima, please hurry to Baihua Valley immediately, and I will go to Yanshi to meet with Sun Changle and Wang Gui. In addition, I will send people to contact each other in other aspects. We will make an appointment to gather at Heishi Beach and then help the King of Wei together."
Wang Dangren issued an order, "Send the order to speed up the marches, and the whole army advances to Yanshi City!" When the long army heard the order, they gradually accelerated, stepped on countless smoke and dust, and rushed straight towards Yanshi City.
Perhaps it was because I heard that I didn’t have to rush to Luokou to fight the Hebei army immediately, or maybe I felt that entering Yanshi Fortress would make everyone feel safe. As soon as the 40,000 Jinyong reinforcements received the order, the whole army was immediately full of morale and rushed to full speed. (..)
