Overlord!

Chapter 120 Wang Lang Qi Duo
In Dongye City, who played the role of Liu Xie?

That is undoubtedly the former Kuaiji prefect Wang Lang.

A county has three prefects.Isn't this a division of the world?
Contrary to Sun Ce's high-spiritedness, Wang Lang, the Kuaiji prefect, stayed in Dongye City with a very depressed temperament. In just a few months, his heart was almost exhausted, and his whole body was haggard.

Among them, Shang Sheng's killing was the biggest blow to him.

Shang Sheng raised troops for him, which he regarded as the fulfillment of the prophecy of Nanyue's help, which can be said to have greatly inspired his fighting spirit.At this time, he can be said to have doubled his confidence, thinking that his destiny belongs to him.

As long as he cooperates with Shang Sheng's Northern Expedition, he can regain Kuaiji County, and Shang Sheng can continue to lead the army as a highly independent general under his command.

He has even begun to imagine that with the help of more than a dozen Shanyue allied forces, he will defeat Sun Lang and take down Wu County.

But how much he was encouraged in the past, and how deeply he was hit later!

Shang Sheng was killed, and he was almost devastated.

How could this divine general sent by Nanyue to help him in the battle be beheaded before he could win the battle?
Fortunately, Yu Fan encouraged him and said that the death of Shang Sheng is the best opportunity to hand over the command of the army to you in the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, Shang Sheng died suddenly, and his subordinates were in panic, the dragons had no leader, and they were at a loss as to what to do.As long as you can come forward to appease the Ming Dynasty, and speak strong words, you will surely make the heroes return and reunite the hearts of the people.

This is Nanyue's greatest help to you.

Yu Fan originally had good intentions, and used the words of prophecy to strengthen his ambition for the Lord.

Sure enough, Wang Lang regained his spirits, recruited Shang Sheng's men with great fighting spirit, joined forces with Shang Sheng's son-in-law, and stabilized the situation in Dongye.

At this point, his chest was full of fire, and he was ambitious to prepare for the Northern Expedition to defeat Sun Ce.The reality poured a basin of cold water, which completely chilled the hot blood in his chest, and his whole body was devastated under the blow, and his soul was lost.

It was the supreme general Zhang Ya who poured this basin of cold water.

Wang Lang and He Xiong intended to go north to attack He Qi, but when they passed Zhang Ya's sphere of influence, Zhang Ya didn't believe it at all, thinking that they wanted to attack him in the name of attacking He Qi, so he took the initiative to lead troops to attack Wang Lang's troops.

At this moment, Wang Lang realized that without the support of the Central Plains court, without the help of heroes and generals recruited, what level of his military ability is.

The thousands of Shanyue tribes he unified were chaotic and unorganized. Although there were a large number of people, they each obeyed orders from the commanders, big and small.These thousands of troops are called righteous soldiers, but they are actually a group of bandits and rebels.

There is no way to effectively command on the battlefield.After all, not everyone can gather together like Sun Ce, use the mob to disperse the attached people, and all get their deadly power.

But their opponent, the supreme general Zhang Ya, is a hero. Ever since he was defeated by Sun Lang's troops in Yongning, he has been studying a strategy of "teaching China to control China".

Don't underestimate these barbarians, the barbarians and the barbarians. The leaders and advisors of the later generations of the Great Beautiful Country have already shouted the slogan "Learn from the best skills to control China" when the country still has a certain advantage.

The so-called "teaching the best to control the best" is fundamentally the spread of civilization, and this kind of thing can never be avoided.The term civilization diffusion is too high-end. In layman's terms, it means copying the institutional advantages of advanced civilizations.

The civilization of the Sui and Tang Dynasties was advanced, and when I was young, I copied the three provinces and six departments of the Sui and Tang Dynasties.The West is advanced, and when they were young, they copied the parliament and the cabinet.

In short, either copy the east or copy the west.

And Shanyue was beaten miserably in the military, so the copy was naturally Sun Ce's military system.

Zhang Ya, the supreme general, can be said to have copied all the systems of Sun Ce's generals under the command of the bandits.He didn't even change the punctuation marks added by Sun Ce in the decree.Even if you don’t understand it, it’s definitely right to add it!
Under this kind of copying, he also implemented the recruitment system.His wealth is naturally incomparable with Sun Ce, so he gritted his teeth and only paid salaries to more than 800 mountain warriors.

What can the eight hundred mountain warriors do?
In Daming, this can sweep the Jiangnan Guards Army!
Because this is not just a heroic Jiangnan bandit, but also a soldier of the eight hundred families.

It may be difficult to fight a regular war with tens of thousands of people, but small wars with a scale of less than [-] people, especially in the rolling hills in the south, are simply the best place for them to use their weapons.

Zhang Ya disbanded all other troops, leaving only the eight hundred soldiers.But it was not completely disbanded, because each of the eight hundred soldiers brought a few desperate, or relatives, or entourages, and planned to follow them out to plunder.

Using the recruiting system, he forcibly pulled out [-] family men, and these men are the strong men who pay the salary!Then, with these eight hundred servants as the backbone, nearly three thousand followers were assembled.

With this force, he defeated Wang Lang's troops on the battlefield.

In this battle with a scale of less than [-] people, the [-] brave and ruthless Shanyue elite soldiers can indeed achieve miraculous results.

Wang Lang wanted to command the thieves, large and small, and it was not smooth. Faced with the surprise attack, Zhang Ya's [-] soldiers went straight to the Chinese army, and Wang Lang was even more embarrassed than the time in Guling.

When he was in Guling, although he was defeated miserably, the entire Kuaiji army of tens of thousands was lost in Sun Ce's hands.But at least when he left, he maintained his gentlemanly demeanor.Calmly boarded the warship, and looked at the iron cavalry with flags waving on the shore.There is still a tacit understanding between the two sides that wins with humility and loses with elegance.

But when it came to Zhang Ya, there was nothing to pay attention to, a group of rebels yelled and cut off Wang Lang's head, and rewarded three women.

Wang Lang was so frightened that he fled in embarrassment. He fell into the mud several times and couldn't escape after three or four miles. Fortunately, his officials pulled him into the dense grass and escaped from the hands of the rebels. Passed a catastrophe.After hiding for a day and a night, he dared to come out, and he didn't have the dignity of a mansion in his distressed appearance.

This fiasco completely made Wang Lang completely devastated, and he hid in the mansion despondently. He no longer had the ambition to go north to compete with Sun Ce for hegemony, and he even began to study which relatives, friends or heroes he would go to Jiaozhou to join.

Yu Fan was in charge of sitting in the rear and supplying food and grass, and it was Xiao He's work.He really didn't expect that Wang Lang's troops would be defeated before they left Dongye.

But it is not an option for Wang Lang to hide in the mansion and be depressed. He can only go to see him and give him encouragement.

After waiting in the front hall for an hour, Wang Lang came out to meet him.

Yu Fan was also surprised to see Wang Lang's withered hair, sunken eyes, and his aging appearance at the age of 40.

One must know that ten years ago, Wang Fujun was promoted as Xiaolian because of his talent, erudition, and fame all over the world.He didn't answer until three or four years ago, when Tao Qian, the new governor of Xuzhou, was promoted as a macai, and then he began to take up official positions and served as a government official, and then he was directly promoted to Kuaiji prefect because of his meritorious service.

At this time, he was full of vigor, in his prime of life, and the world regarded him as a powerful prince who could compete with Sun Lang.

But in less than a year, a series of disastrous defeats made this young and powerful prince emaciated to such an extent?
Yu Fan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. A momentary victory or defeat is not enough to determine the universe. Bear with shame, with the heroes of Jiangdong, it is unknown that they will make a comeback! The people who were separated before have returned to the East. Ye. As long as the Fujun is motivated, there is still a lot to do!"

Wang Lang's eyes were numb, and he was no longer moved by this kind of encouragement to Yu Fan. He said in a low tone: "I used to be aloof and pretentious. .However, looking at it today, it is not my decision to fight for hegemony. It is better to suspend the army. I want to surrender to the old relatives of the state. And you have an old mother, especially in Kuaiji, so you can pay it back."

Yu Fan was stunned on the spot when he heard the words, he never thought that Mr. Wangfu was hit so badly!He was directly hit and lost his fighting spirit. He wanted to disband the army and flee to Jiaozhou!

This made Yu Fan completely angry.

He didn't hate that Wang Lang was defeated by a sect thief, he hated that Wang Lang chose to give up so easily like a coward!
I follow the guards for thousands of miles, is it just to support such a mediocre person with no ambitions?

Yu Fan burst into anger and shouted: "Your Majesty! You are a man who is ashamed and ashamed! Gao Zu fought against the Overlord, and was defeated first in Pengcheng and then in Xingyang. , Once crossing the river by boat, I crossed the river alone, went to Han Xin's camp, snatched Han Xin's seal and ribbon, and captured Han Xin's army, and then blocked the overlord's army in Xingyang again."

"The husband has the wrath of the world, and the merits of hope for a long life are all indomitable! If you are not afraid of defeat, and if you can recover from defeat, then you are a hero. If you don't want to learn to be a hero, don't you want to learn from the overlord, committing suicide once you lose give up?"

"Besides, the prophecy is only false, and there is no Nanyue in Jiaozhou. Is there any place to vote for?"

Wang Lang was dumbfounded, and his whole body was blown away by it.At this moment, it is obvious that both of them are eight feet tall, and they are handsome men in the world.But Wang Lang was dejected, his body was withered and thin, as if he was about to curl up in a corner.Yu Fan, on the other hand, has a refined appearance, but seems to hide a fierce tiger in his heart, rising violently, like a bear and tiger standing upright.

Wang Lang mumbled for a long time before he asked weakly: "However, any Shanyue sect thieves will defeat us and come back. It's true, so what?"

It was only then that Yu Fan endured the violent anger, forced himself to calm down, and comforted Wang Lang: "Mingfu, Zhang Ya is not a thief of the idle sect. He is the hero of the southern border, and he is also a famous general. The buried barbarian talent. I asked to see him today because I got the news that Zhan Qiang was also defeated by Zhang Ya. He was beheaded thousands of times and chased for dozens of miles. Once the dynasty is ruined. From this point of view, Zhang Ya has indeed done a lot, and the Ming Dynasty may not be embarrassed when he loses to him."

Hearing this, Wang Lang's eyes finally regained a gleam of light. Losing to an unknown person or losing to a famous mountain general is always different in terms of acceptance.

If Zhang Ya is a famous Shanyue general, if he can't beat him, then he is not considered incompetent.

After all, in the southern part of Kuaiji County, all forces were defeated by him.He and He Xiong were beaten and left the army alone.Zhan Qiang also fled in embarrassment. Not only was he defeated, but even his camp was taken.

So soon Wang Lang revealed his hopeful eyes, and said: "Then we can join forces with Zhang Ya? As long as he is willing to send his troops northward, it may not be impossible to defeat Sun Lang."

Wang Lang also fully realized that he was not in the military, and that he had to use fame and strategy if he wanted to compete for supremacy.It is the wisest choice to unite with other powerful sects to strike a balance.

Yu Fan also showed a smile, this is the Lord Mingfu who deserves to be assisted!
He cheered up and said, "I think it's feasible. Although Zhang Ya is showing off his strength in southern Xinjiang, the butcher's knife of Sun Lang's army is still hanging on his head, and he may fall at any time. Now that he has gained strength, he urgently needs to ease the relationship with us." As long as the government lord comes forward to coordinate, unite with Zhan Qiang, promise to repair the army and stop the war, and provide his soldiers and grain, he will be willing to reconcile, and then turn his spearhead to resist Sun Lang's army."

It's just that this reconciliation changed from focusing on Wang Lang and Shang Sheng to focusing on Zhang Ya, the supreme general.

In fact, this means that Wang Lang and Zhan Qiang were defeated and forced to surrender and pay tribute to him.

But as Yu Fan said, victory and defeat are unpredictable, and it is a man who bears shame.The children of Jiangdong are so talented, it is unknown if they will make a comeback.

As strong as Li Shimin was once forced to sign the shameful alliance under the city in Weishui.

Temporary retreat doesn't mean anything, the key is whether you can catch the Turkic Khan in Chang'an City to dance in three years like Li Shimin did.

Wang Lang's dejected temperament subsided somewhat, and he tried his best to cheer up, ready to show his strength again.

But after all, after being depressed for so long, he was overjoyed under great grief, his blood surged up for a while, and he felt his eyes go dark, and he almost passed out.

With quick eyes and quick hands, Yu Fan hurriedly supported him and asked, "Master, are you alright?"

Wang Lang caressed the bed, sat down weakly and laboriously, waved his hands, and said slowly: "I'm fine, maybe it's because I'm weak, so don't worry about me. The most urgent thing is to send an envoy to contact Zhang Ya, and it must be fast. Zhang Ya Ya and Zhan Qiang are in the north, and the two of them are fighting, and the north is hundreds of miles closer than us. We have already received the news, and the northern army must have known about it. If we don't hurry up, the north may strike first."

Yu Fan stroked Wang Lang's back, patted his body for him, carefully checked his condition, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, Fang solemnly said: "This matter is really urgent, and the government is fine, I will arrange it right away."

Wang Lang showed a gratified smile, looking at Yu Fan's broad back, feeling very relieved.As the lord of Kuaiji Prefecture, one of the most successful things I have done is to enlist this wise man who is loyal and talented!

But Yu Fan hadn't walked out of the lobby when he was suddenly bumped back by a guest.

The Gongcao staggered for a while, but the visitor didn't have time to panic, and didn't have time to check the Gongcao who was knocked aside. The guests directly shouted anxiously and horrified: "Master, something is wrong. Sun Lang's army has already defeated Zhang Gongcao. Ya, you are rushing towards Dongye, less than a hundred miles away from Dongye! The forward iron cavalry is even closer!"

"What! Zhang Ya was defeated?" Wang Lang felt his eyes darken, his whole heart seemed to be pressed by heavy and cold pressure, and he couldn't breathe: "Impossible! How is it possible! Zhang Ya is the most heroic in Southern Xinjiang , Zong Shuai, who has the talent of a famous general! How could he lose so quickly?"

The guests shouted anxiously: "How can this be impossible! How could his hundreds of elites stand against Sun Lang's army of thousands of tigers and wolves, and he was completely defeated! He Qi led [-] elite cavalry to the south, and the iron cavalry directly killed him The army was completely crushed. It is said that he didn't hold on for half an hour before he was beheaded and his head was chopped off. The heads were all sent over by the enemy's vanguard Qingqi. The enemy's vanguard issued a clear order that I will die if I don't surrender. Zhan The strong party members are all terrified, and they have already surrendered. How should we deal with it, Fujun?"
