Chapter 175: The increasingly lively Yuzhang

On April 12, the 14th year of Qianyuan, Murong Ke led 30,000 troops to come here at the city of Liling, Yuzhang. This was Murong Ke's first stop to sweep Yuzhang.

At this time, the Liling Guard was trembling. Originally, after Chaisang lost, the Liling Guard had closed the city gate because it was too close to Chaisang. However, when Deng's army was at the city, he realized that everything he did was useless.

Murong Ke looked at Wu Jun who was trembling on the top of the city, smiled disdainfully, and said to Li Dingguo Road beside him: "General Li, I'll order you to attack the city. Within one stick of incense, I'll invite you to drink in the city."

"Okay, then I'll wait for General Murong's wine." Li Dingguo replied with a smile, and then ordered: "General Murong has an order to attack the city!"

Deng's army rushed forward. At this time, there were only a thousand defenders in Liling City. How could they withstand the attack of 30,000 Deng's army? In less than a stick of incense, the gate of Liling City was broken by Deng's army.

After Murong Ke and others entered the city, they destroyed the situation. All the ones that could be taken away were taken away, and all the ones that could not be taken away were burned.

After leaving Liling, Murong Ke successively conquered Haihun, Jiancheng, Xingan, Linru, Yuhan and other cities. The center surrounded by these cities was Nanchang City, Yuzhang Prefecture. On April 25, the 14th year of Qianyuan, Murong Ke surrounded Nanchang City.

In the cities of Yuzhang, wars were everywhere, and the urgent documents flew to Zhou Kai's desk like snowflakes. Zhou Kai was so angry that he died of death, but there was no other way, so he could only sigh every day. In addition to these urgent documents, there were also questions from the King of Wucheng.

"Everyone, let's talk about how to clean up the mess Yuzhang." In the Pengze County Government, Zhou Kai asked everyone helplessly.

When everyone heard this, they shook their heads. Yu Zhang lost too many soldiers and horses in the battle, which made it difficult for the Wu Kingdom to draw troops out again. It is difficult for a good wife to cook without rice. If there are no soldiers, what can we use to block Deng’s army?

"Grandmaster, there will be a plan at the end." At this time, Ling Rong stepped out.

"What kind of tricks does General Ling have? Come on." Zhou Kai was overjoyed when he heard this. This period of time made him very worried.

Ling Rong said: "Grandmaster, it is difficult for me to draw troops from Wu, but don't forget that the country is next to Yuzhang. Xiang is Mrs. Ma's mother country. As long as the king prepares a letter to the King of Xiang and borrows troops from Xiang, we will have troops to block Deng's army's side division."

When Zhou Kai heard this, his eyes lit up. How could he forget Xiang State? After all, the reason why Wu State fought with Deng State is still the problem of Mrs. Ma. Now that Wu State is in trouble, it is also worth it for her to do some effort. So Zhou Kai asked Lu Feng and Lu Meng: "Military advisor, Lu Feng, what do you think?"

Lu Meng thought for a while and said, "The Grand Commander, it should be feasible, but I just don't know if the troops of Hunan can block Deng's army?"

Zhou Kai smiled and said, "The military advisor is too worried. The general of Deng's army, Murong Ke, is just an unknown junior, while the Hunan general Xing Rong is a famous general in Jingnan. Even if he cannot defeat Deng's army, he will not be defeated."

Zhou Kai's words made Lu Feng and Lu Meng frown, and he felt helpless. Zhou Kai is good at everything, but he is a little arrogant and often judges his abilities based on his reputation. However, Lu Feng and Lu Meng did not refute Zhou Kai. After all, Zhou Kai is a bit petty. If you have conflicts with him because of this little thing, it is not worth it.

Seeing that Lu Meng and Lu Feng had no objection, Zhou Kai immediately sent someone back to Wucheng to meet the King of Wu.

At this time, Murong Ke and Li Dingguo were attacking with force at Nanchang. Nanchang was the capital of Yuzhang, second only to Wucheng, and Danyang, Wanling City, so there was still some trouble in the fight, but it was only a little trouble. Under the fierce attack of Deng's army, it only lasted for two days.

In front of the prefect of Yuzhang Prefect, Murong Ke and Li Dingguo were commanding soldiers to count the property of Nanchang City.

"General Murong, this Nanchang City is worthy of being the Yuzhang Prefecture, and it has accumulated countless money and grain." Li Dingguo said with a smile. Deng's army had a great harvest this time when he took Nanchang. The food accumulated here alone was enough for Murong Ke's 30,000 Deng's army to eat for half a year.

"Of course, the Wu Kingdom has always been in Yuzhang, and the food in Nanchang. However, the King of Wu never dreamed that the two major cities in Yuzhang were captured by us. I am afraid that the King of Wu would vomit blood even if he knew about it." Murong Ke walked into the prefect's mansion with a smile, and watched the soldiers constantly transporting money and grain from the prefect's treasury.

"Then General Murong, what are we going to do next?" Li Dingguo asked. During this period, Li Dingguo followed Murong Ke to sweep the cities in Yuzhang, and he was increasingly impressed by Murong Ke.

Murong Ke thought for a while and said, "No hurry. Brothers are very tired when they come to attack all over the world these days. Now that they have captured Nanchang City, let the brothers rest for a few days."

"Here!"

At the city of Pengze, Yang Yanzhao led a 100,000 troops to the city. Since Murong Ke captured Nanchang, Yang Yanzhao was so angry that Zhou Kai was so angry that he sent troops to attack Murong Ke. So he came to Pengze with 100,000 troops, with the purpose of blocking Zhou Kai and not letting him act rashly.

After seeing the King of Wu, Zhou Kai's men told him about borrowing troops from Xiang State. The King of Wu agreed very much, so he immediately sent an envoy to Xiang State to borrow troops from Xiang State. The King of Xiang initially disagreed, but the envoy of Wu State added a big stick and threatened to add inducement. The King of Xiang finally agreed to send troops, and the general Xing Rong, commanded 30,000 troops to reinforce Yuzhang.

On the first day of May of the 14th year of Qianyuan, 30,000 Hunan troops arrived in Ai County. At this moment, the whole of Yuzhang was in chaos. The 30,000 Hunan troops, 120,000 Deng troops, 50,000 Wu troops, and a total of 200,000 troops were concentrated in Yuzhang. It was very lively, and Yang Yanzhao also sent people to invite Yue Kingdom to send troops. If the Yue army arrived, it would be even more lively.

In Nanchang City, Murong Ke had just received an order from Yang Yanzhao, ordering him to defeat the 30,000 Hunan Army who came to reinforce. After Yang Yanzhao learned that the Hunan Kingdom had sent troops and discussed with the generals, he decided to let Murong Ke deal with the Hunan Army. After all, Murong Ke has even captured Nanchang City, and there is nothing to do next, so let him deal with the Hunan Army.

"General Li, what do you think about this?" Murong Ke asked Li Dingguo.

Li Dingguo thought for a while and said, "We have never contacted the Hunan Army before. I don't know how powerful it is, and I don't know where to start."

Deng State and Hunan State had no contacts, and Li Dingguo did not know how powerful the Hunan Army was.

Murong Ke frowned and said, "This is a bit troublesome. As the saying goes, know yourself and your enemy, you will never be defeated in a hundred battles. Now we don't even know the reality of the Hunan Army. How can we defeat the Hunan Army? Let's do this? You can send a scout to Ai County immediately to investigate the situation of the Hunan Army."

Murong Ke thought about it and decided to send a scout to investigate first. This was the first time Murong Ke led his troops alone since he joined the army. It was a good opportunity to become famous in one battle. There must be no mistakes.

But at this time the Hunan Army had already left Ai County.

"General Xing, are you going to fight the Deng army now? Isn't it too hasty?" On the march, the envoy of Wu State said to the Xiang State General Xing Rong, but said that Xing Rong, who had only rested in Ai County for a few hours, hurriedly led his troops to find Murong Ke. The envoy of Wu State felt that Xing Rong was too impulsive.

But Xing Rong said indifferently: "What's the matter? This general has already found out that there are only 30,000 Deng's army in Nanchang City, and the main general is just an unknown junior. Could it be that general is still afraid of him? Besides, isn't it good for you, Wu State to defeat Deng's army sooner?"

"But..." Wu Envoy wanted to say something, but was soon interrupted by Xing Rong.

"It's nothing, you'll be optimistic. When this general catches the chief general Deng army and gives it to my princess as a gift for the princess to ascend the throne of the queen." Xing Rong said that the condition for the Xiang Kingdom to send troops this time was to make the Princess Ma of Xiang Kingdom the queen.
