Invincible son

Chapter 832 831 [Heaven's Great Mission]

Daliang, Kyoto.

In the imperial palace, in the royal study.

Everyone in the Ministry of Internal Affairs knew that Liu Bao was standing by the imperial case, reciting word by word the eight hundred li urgent memorial of Guo Xing, the coach of Zhennan Daying.

When he read that after Princess Qinghe entered the city in the Southern Zhou Dynasty, her accompanying guards suddenly launched an attack on the Daliang defenders. At the same time, two cavalrymen appeared outside Jiangling City, and even nearly a hundred thousand troops arrived soon. Gradually become cold.

Liu Bao then said that Pei Yue did not choose to enter the city to protect himself, but instead led the Beiwei Battalion to defeat the Jinwu Guards of the Southern Zhou Dynasty. In order to create time for the defenders in the city to regain control of the city gate, he led two thousand cavalry to stay outside the city and then went deep into the city. enemy territory.Hearing that Emperor Kaiping's face was a little calmer, all the important officials in the palace nodded in praise.

At the end of the memorial, it is mentioned that the Southern Zhou army has launched an attack on Jiangling City, and that the Zhennan Daying and Dingzhou Navy will provide support at any time according to the specific situation. As for Pei Yue and the two thousand elite cavalry, Guo Xing expressed his confidence in the ability of this young prince , will be able to escape from danger.

Emperor Kaiping asked calmly, "What's the opinion of the West Palace?"

Guangping Hou Guliang saw that Wang Pingzhang was silent, so he replied calmly: "Your Majesty, although the sudden attack in the Southern Zhou Dynasty can hardly be called a surprise, but my southern army has never let up in the ten-odd years of fighting against the enemy, and there will definitely be no trouble in the southern region." From the details in Guo Xing’s memorial, it can be seen that Pei Yue discovered some clues in Jian’an City, so Baoding Bo Caiqian was able to deal with it in advance.”

The censor Huang Rentai said with emotion: "Marquis Zhongshan has a pure heart, which shows that His Majesty knows people well. But now he is trapped in the Southern Zhou Dynasty, surrounded by enemies except for two thousand cavalry, what should we do?"

Emperor Kaiping said: "Don't worry about Pei Yue's safety for the time being, I believe he can save the day. Now that the Southern Zhou Dynasty has shown its fangs, what do you think I should do?"

Luo Ting, who was in power on the right, wanted to follow Huang Rentai's words, but seeing Emperor Kaiping's firm attitude, he said calmly: "Your Majesty, I think this matter should be made known to the world, and then immediately dispatch troops to give Southern Zhou a head-on blow."

It has to be said that although Luo Ting's upright temper sometimes caused Emperor Kaiping a headache, but at this critical moment of national destiny, a tough ruling is far better than those indecisive and hesitant fools.

Emperor Kaiping nodded in satisfaction, then turned to look at Wang Pingzhang with a calm expression.

"Duke Wei has a good strategy?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the old minister suggested that the Zhennan battalion be sent to protect Jiangling City, and at the same time, the Yaoshan battalion should wait for an opportunity to go south to capture the Mengjin Ferry on the south bank and the two cities of Wuwei and Tianchang. The veteran feels that a temporary commander should be appointed to coordinate and plan the war in the southern border."

The other important officials in the hall couldn't help turning their heads to look at Guangping Hou Guliang.

Wang Pingzhang's proposal is reasonable, and the potential candidates have been clearly revealed.The Southern Army is where Gu Liang made his fortune. For example, Guo Xing, the coach of Zhennan Camp, is a handsome talent promoted by Gu Liang himself. His two sons served as commanders in the Southern Army. No matter from which point of view, Gu Liang is the most suitable candidate for the Southern Army's coach.

Gu Liang glanced at Wang Pingzhang out of the corner of his eye, but didn't take the initiative to stand up to share his worries.

Emperor Kaiping glanced at the crowd, and said flatly: "Several states have suffered a severe drought this year, and last year we fought with Western Wu for a year. The treasury has been unable to make ends meet and is gradually becoming empty. It is difficult to support a war of annihilation, so this war should be won as soon as possible. , cannot become a stalemate."

Luo Ting and Huang Rentai were relieved by these words.

On the other side, Wu Xun was overwhelmed by the four characters of the war of annihilating the country.

Emperor Kaiping pondered: "Guo Xing defends and Lan Yu attacks. The West Mansion drafts the imperial decree according to this tone. I believe they can do a good job. In addition, Han Gongduan is still in Qinzhou now, let him patrol the southern states to stabilize people's livelihood, and at the same time manage the food and grass needed by the frontier army. ordnance."

Everyone bowed to receive the order.

Finally, Emperor Kaiping glanced at Wang Pingzhang, where the old god was present, and said calmly: "Pei Yue is too young, and he is still unstable as the temporary commander, but I have given him the right to make decisions on the battlefield, and the commander of the fifth battalion in the southern region needs to fully cooperate with his strategy. "

There was silence in the royal study.

After a while, Gu Liang smiled and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

……

Gangneung City.

After three days of repeated battles and bloody battles, Jiangling City was still firmly in the hands of the Daliang defenders.The Chengbei Camp in the Southern Zhou Dynasty launched eight attacks successively. With an absolute superiority, they continuously rotated into battle and launched continuous attacks on the three walls of Jiangling City. In the end, more than 7000 people were killed or injured, but this important military town was still unable to be breached.

The Daliang defenders paid the price of more than [-] dead and more than [-] wounded, and withstood the almost suffocating first three days, but every soldier from Baoding Bo Caiqian knew in his heart that the next The battle will be harder.

The Duke of Zhen launched this war almost desperately. Failure to take Jiangling City would mean a complete failure. At that time, he would not only face the counterattack of the Daliang border army, but also bear the strong pressure from the country.

The matter has come to this point, Fang Xiexiao has no choice but to retreat.

So when Fang Yuntian volunteered to lead the Pingjiang camp to attack the southern gate of Jiangling City, Fang Xiexiao didn't shake his head.

The fourth day of the siege, early morning.

The ten thousand-zhang morning glow pierces through the thin clouds in the sky like a golden arrow, swaying over every inch of land from north to south, just like the new wind from the wasteland, passing over the mountains and plains, crossing the great rivers and rivers, and coming into everyone's eyes.

The Tiancang River is like a dormant dragon, and the rays of the sun sparkle on the surface of the river, just like the scales on the dragon, reflecting a dazzling light.

The cool morning breeze blew against his cheeks, carrying the lingering smell of blood.

Fang Yuntian was wearing armor and holding a spear, and behind him stood three thousand burly sharp soldiers. These were the well-known euphorbia warriors from the Pingjiang camp, and they were also the world's leading heavy armored infantry. Gu Liang's vanguard army.

Although euphorbia warriors are generally used to break formations and fight against cavalry on the battlefield, when they put down their halberds and pick up steel knives, they are also invincible magic weapons.

Fang Xiexiao watched them quietly, calmly analyzing the overall battle situation in his mind.

Although he didn't say it publicly, Pei Yue's figure has never disappeared from this game of chess. It's just that Fang Yunsong has been sending people to report back these days. Pei Yue has been getting farther and farther away from the main battlefield. Presumably there should be no problem there, and the top priority We should take Jiangling City first.

Just as he was about to speak, three scouts rushed over.

"Report to the Duke of the country, the North Bank may send reinforcements!"

All the generals turned pale. According to their previous analysis, Liang Jun on the north bank should not rush to send troops, because there are many problems involved.Da Zhou planned this time deliberately, Lord Zhen Guo had been planning in secret for a long time, and of course he caught the opponent by surprise.Even if Liang Jun on the north bank is determined to help Jiangling City, at least it will take time to dispatch troops.

However, what they didn't know was that when Pei Yue was still in Jian'an City, Qian Bing had already crossed the river north with his secret letter.Although Guo Xing will not obey Pei Yue's words, it is not difficult to adjust the garrisons of the guards in advance and prepare for the battle.

Time was running out. After Fang Xiexiao thought for a while, he said under the expectant and nervous eyes of the generals: "Yuntian, you lead the troops to the riverside immediately, and you must block the reinforcements from Jiangbei."

"Yes!"

Without any hesitation, Fang Yuntian raised his gun and walked forward with a serious expression.

Fang Xiexiao suppressed the worry in his heart, and said to the rest of the generals: "Fang Rong will take over the trapped camp, and the rest will remain unchanged. This commander has only one request for you, to win Jiangling City at all costs!"

"Follow the order!" The crowd shouted in unison.
