Chapter 369: Kuxian Reunion
Chapter 369: Ku County Meeting
"What! You said that the Deng army besieged Chencheng, and Lu Kuang surrendered without fighting!" On the tenth day of the 22nd year of Qianyuan, in the camp of the Zhao army in Ku County, the Zhao army commander Jing Feng said incrediblely to Jing Hong, the servant whom he trusted most, in front of him. Lu Kuang surrendered and Chencheng lost. This news was like a shocking bolt from the blue for Jing Feng.
Jing Hong was covered in tattered clothes, holding a baby in his arms, nodded and said, "Yes, general, Deng's army raided Chen County and surrounded Chencheng in just a few days. In order to save his life, Lu Kuang opened the city to surrender to Deng's army!"
When Jing Feng heard this, he couldn't stand firmly and took several steps backwards. Fortunately, the personal soldiers beside him were quick-eyed and quick-witted, and he held Jing Feng, otherwise Jing Feng would have fallen to the ground.
Jing Feng, who was standing firm again, saw the baby in Jing Hong's arms. He recognized him at a glance as his son who had just turned one year old, so he rushed forward and snatched his son from Jing Feng's hand, then stared at Jing Hong and asked, "Jing Hong, tell me, where is the wife now?"
Jing Hong replied: "When Lu Kuang was back to the general, when he surrendered, his wife noticed something was wrong, so she asked Jing Hong to take the young master out of Chencheng. Fortunately, the general was kind to the soldiers on weekdays, and the soldiers guarding the city did not stop us. Jing Hong was able to bring the young master to find the general. As for the wife, she stayed in Chencheng, but the wife said that she was Lu Kuang's own sister. What was wrong with Lu Kuang treating her? Please rest assured! "
"That's good, that's good!" Jing Feng was relieved when he heard Jing Hong's words. He knew that Lu Kuang was a man who was afraid of Lu Kuang's greed and even hated him very much, but he had to admit that Lu Kuang still respected his sister, Jing Feng's wife.
Then Jing Feng asked Jing Hong to take his son down to rest, and he discussed the next countermeasures with his generals. Now that Chencheng is lost, half of the entire Chen County has been lost. There are tens of thousands of Chu troops in the east and 100,000 elite Deng troops in Chencheng in the west. This situation is very unfavorable to the Zhao army.
"General, we might as well evacuate Chen County and retreat to Liang County, so that we can avoid being surrounded and annihilated by Deng and Chu County. When the reinforcements from the court arrive, we can fight back." At this time, a side general under Jing Feng said.
This is a good way to avoid the enemy's edge. The situation in Chen County is now corrupt, which is no longer something that Jing Feng can change with just tens of thousands of people. Retreat to Liang County and wait for support seems to be the best way at the moment, but soon Jing Feng shook his head and rejected it.
Jing Feng said: "It is indeed a good idea to retreat to Liang County and wait for support, but the Chu army will let us go, right? Moreover, the Deng army in Chencheng will soon arrive with the plan of a quick battle and decisive decision. It is not easy to retreat to Liang County!"
Jing Feng's words made everyone silent. Yes, with the Chu army here, how easy is it to retreat to Liang County? Since the Chu State has been the tyrant of Deng State. This time, the Chu army suddenly attacked Chen County, which must be the instructor of Deng State. From this, the Chu army would never let the Zhao army leave Ku County so easily.
"But general, we can't sit still and wait for death. Although the chance of success is not high, we have to give it a try, otherwise we will really have to die when Deng Jun arrives!" Although the possibility is not great, there are still people who don't believe in evil, and suggested to Jingfeng.
"Okay, since that's the case, then go and prepare. Once our general's military order arrives, we will evacuate from Kuxian camp and cannot stay for a moment!" There is no better way at the moment, so we can only take a try, so Jing Feng ordered.
"Here!" Since Jing Feng had made the decision, everyone stopped hesitating and responded immediately.
However, things are often thought of beautifully, but the facts are never hopeful. Just when Jing Feng decided to evacuate Ku County, the Chu army, which was originally far from the Zhao army, suddenly raised troops to advance towards the Zhao army. Before the Zhao army was ready to evacuate, the Chu army came to the Zhao army camp five miles away. This clearly prevented Jing Feng and his tens of thousands of Zhao troops from leaving.
When Jing Feng saw this scene, his face suddenly turned ashamed. When the Chu army arrived, he knew that the Zhao army had no chance. This time, the Chu army attacked Chen County had a total of 50,000 troops, and the troops were above the Zhao army. The main general was Zhang Di, the general of the Chu State. Although Zhang Di could no longer rank in the world today, his ability was not something Jing Feng could deal with. Since Zhao Xin's death, the entire Zhao State was confident that he could win Zhang Di, and even Sima Chong could only play 55 with Zhang Di.
With Zhang Di's 50,000 Chu troops shocked, the Zhao army withdrew from Ku County and retreated to Liang County and ended in failure. They could only defend Wuping City to the death and wait for the arrival of the doomsday.
On March 15, 22nd year of Qianyuan, Xue Rengui and Li Siye led the Yingyang Guard and the 100,000 troops of the Huyiwei Guard arrived outside Ku County and successfully met with the Chu army. Zhang Di personally brought people to greet him!
"Zhang Di has met General Xue, General Li!" Zhang Di personally brought people to welcome the arrival of Deng Jun. Zhang Di couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Xue Rengui and Li Siye in front of him, and Zhang Di had both seen Xue Rengui and Li Siye during the Central Plains War that year. However, at that time, Xue Rengui and Li Siye were both young and young generals who had just emerged. Zhang Di was the second most important general of Chu State after Longchuan. However, so many years have passed and time has changed. Now Xue Rengui and Li Siye are the generals of Deng's army, leading the army alone in the control of one side. Although Zhang Di is the general of Chu State, Zhang Di knew very well that his current status was not as good as Xue Rengui and Li Siye, so Zhang Di respected Xue Rengui and Li Siye very much, without a trace of the arrogance of a general.
"General Zhang's style remains the same after years of separation. The general's style during the Central Plains War seemed to be right in front of him!" As the saying goes, he doesn't hit the smiley person, Zhang Di's attitude is so respectful, and Xue Rengui and Li Siye are not good at picking up their faces.
Zhang Di had already arranged the camp of Deng Jun, but Zhang Di just built an outer periphery, and Deng Jun needed to do the things inside.
After Zhang Di brought Xue Rengui and Li Siye into the central army tent of the camp, Zhang Di only arranged one main seat, and there was no distinction between Xue Rengui and Li Siye, so he had a moment of embarrassment. Later, the military advisor of the Tiger Wing Guard Pang Tong ordered people to bring in a chair, put it on the main seat, and lined up with the original chair.
After everyone sat down, Xue Rengui asked Zhang Di: "General Zhang, I wonder what is the situation of the Zhao army in the Zhao army camp in Kuxian County now? How many Zhao army in Kuxian County camp are there?"
Zhang Di replied: "After receiving the instigation from the two generals, Xia quickly brought troops to the camp five miles outside the Zhao army camp. Judging from the situation of the Zhao army at that time, the Zhao army should have wanted to evacuate the Kuxian camp, but it was just because Xiaxia led troops to come. The Zhao army was constantly strengthening the camp for several days. It seemed that they wanted to defend the enemy. As for the Zhao army in the Kuxian camp, after fighting with Jaexiahe for several battles, both sides suffered casualties. Now the number of Zhao soldiers in the Kuxian camp should be less than 40,000!"
After hearing this, Xue Rengui looked at each other and nodded to each other. There were less than 40,000 Zhao troops in Wuping City, while there were 150,000 Deng troops and Chu troops. More importantly, Chen City has been taken down by himself, and the Zhao troops in Kuxian Camp have no support, so the morale of the army will definitely be severely damaged. When the fight occurs, the strength cannot be exerted.
"General Zhang, we are just here for the first time. We don't understand the situation in Kuxian area for a while. We may have to wait for a few days to attack the Zhao army. So in the next few days, we may have to trouble General Zhang to take General Xue and me around and inspect the terrain here!" Li Siye said to Zhang Di. Although the Deng army was just here, although its strength was far better than that of the Zhao army, it was a bit risky without understanding the terrain. If you were not careful, you might be run away by the Zhao army.
Zhang Di also agreed with this. He had long heard that Deng's army was going to blitzkrieg in Chenliu County, Chen County and Liang County this time, so the time was very tight. Zhang Di was also worried that Xue Rengui and Li Siye would rashly attack Zhao's army without understanding the terrain in order to seize the time. Now Li Siye took the initiative to ask him to take them to understand the situation, and Zhang Di was relieved.
Zhang Di nodded and said, "General Xue, General Li, don't worry. I have been in the Ku County area and I have been in the area of Ku County. I still have some understanding of the terrain of this area. So let Xia take the two generals and walk around. As for when to launch an attack on the Zhao army, it depends on the two generals!"
