On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 224
In Jinling (now Changzhou, Jiangsu), Gu Shixing's old house is brightly lit, with loud dancing and music.

The celebration banquet didn't end until late at night.

Yang Guang, who missed Princess Jin, fell asleep with his wife and concubines that Gu Shixing hadn't had time to take away.

The actual commanders of the three armies are carefully discussing the upcoming battle with Li Jing, Fang Yanqian, Fang Xuanling and others.

Fang Xuanling is already 13 years old. He has been attending the audition since he was 11 years old, and now he is more and more involved in the planning of various events.

It's just that he is handy in government affairs, but in military affairs, he mainly listens in. Fang Xuanling still has a lot to learn.

This time, Fang's father and son, Kong Yingda, Gao Shilian and others were just foils, and Li Jing was mainly planning for Cui Che.

"Changzhou has four counties under the jurisdiction of Jinling, Wuxi, Yixing (now Yixing, Jiangsu), and Jiangyin (now Jiangyin, Jiangsu). Now that Jinling, the state government, has been restored, Gu Shixing, the pseudo-inspector, fled to Wuxi, and he will definitely ask Shen Ni for help.

"Shen Ni has been attacking Wu county for a long time, and seeing that our army is approaching, he must not dare to stay for long, or divide his troops to besiege, and lead the main force to go north to defend against the heavenly soldiers.

"The humble staff thinks that it is better to divide the army into three groups, one to the southwest, to capture Yixing, and the other to the southeast to capture Jiangyin and Changshu, and then break the siege of Wu County, and cut off Shen Ni, Gao Ni (Gao Zhizhi), and Wang Ni (Wang Wenjin) contact, to block the reinforcements of the two thieves.

"Duke Yan led his own army to besiege Wuxi. As the saying goes, it is difficult to defend an isolated city, and Wuxi is not a fortified city. Without reinforcements outside, how can it last for a long time!
"Yan Gong will use the leaders of bandits from all over the country to build a capital outside the city. The rebels in the city will be afraid, and their hearts will be shaken, and they will scramble to survive!
Li Jing pointed to several cities on the map, eloquently.

Cui Che nodded upon hearing this, but did not make a decision immediately. He needed to find out the specific situation in Wuxi first.

After all, Li Jing only guessed that Shen Xuanzhang would give up the siege of Wu County, move closer to Wuxi, and gather troops.

As Li Jing said, Wuxi is just a county, and the city is not tall.

At first, Shen Xuandi wanted to gather troops in Jinling to resist Cui Che, but he never expected that Gu Shixing would lose the state government of Jinling so easily.

Mai Tiezhang easily climbed over the city wall of Wuxi. Back then, he climbed every night at Jingkou, an important town on the south bank. With regard to the low city wall of Wuxi, Mai Tiezhang was like walking on flat ground.

He was pretending to be a defeated soldier from Jinling, and followed Gu Shixing into Wuxi. At that time, the defenders of Jinling were scattered, and the soldiers didn't know the generals, and the generals didn't care about the soldiers. With his Jiankang accent, he didn't arouse suspicion.

After seeing Shen Xuanzhang, Lu Mengsun and others leading the army gathering in Wuxi, Mai Tiezhang did not dare to stay for long. After climbing over the city wall in the dark, he ran for more than a hundred miles under the moonlight. At dawn, he came to the city of Jinling with heavy breaths. .

He claims to be able to travel [-] miles a day, but people are not machines, and they will get tired. The journey of more than [-] miles without a break in the iron stick is equivalent to running a marathon.

The general guarding the south gate recognized Mai Tiezhang, when Cui Che rewarded the soldiers outside Jingkou City, Mai Tiezhang showed his face in front of everyone.

He hastily asked someone to put down the bamboo basket, and hung up the Mai Tiezhang. He was about to ask, but the Mai Tiezhang grabbed him first:

"Take me to see Duke Yan quickly, I have an important military report."

Knowing that Mai Tiezhang brought back Wuxi's military information, Cui Che hurried to the hall in pajamas without even having time to change his clothes.

Without waiting for Cui Che to ask, Mai Tiezhang hastily reported:

"Duke Yan! Shen Ni and Changshu's defenders have rushed to aid Wuxi. I roughly counted that there are nearly 7 to [-] people in the city."

Cui Che thought to himself: Shen Xuanzhang really did as Li Jing expected, he gave up Wu County, rushed north to help, and even called Lu Mengsun.

Now that it is clear that the rebel army really gathers troops in Wuxi to prevent them from being defeated one by one, it is time to use Li Jing's strategy to besiege Wuxi with the main force, divide the troops to attack various places, and make it an isolated city.

Cui Che didn't forget to praise Mai Tiezhang's hard work, and personally credited him, so Zhao Wen took Mai Tiezhang down to rest.

At the same time, he sent people to summon all the generals to come to his house to discuss matters.

Many generals were drunk because of yesterday's banquet, and now they are sleeping more soundly.

But unable to hold back the military orders, after being awakened by the personal guards, they hurriedly changed their clothes and assembled at Cui Che's residence. Even Yang Guang, who had never been summoned, rushed to Cui Che's residence.

When Cui Che saw Yang Guang, he didn't ask such stupid things as why His Highness didn't rest in the residence.

He and the generals said:
"Mai Tiezhang sneaked into Wuxi and found out the enemy's situation. Shen Ni and Changshu Lu Mengsun all assembled in Wuxi with [-] to [-] troops. Last night Li Canjun (Li Jing) praised the painting for me and planned to divide the troops into three routes."

Cui Che revealed Li Jing's plan and asked again:

"Do you have any objections?"

All the generals bow their hands:

"At the end of the day, the general will obey the order of Lord Yan."

Cui Che nodded slightly, and called out:
"Long live Shi!"

Upon hearing the words, Shi Wansui stepped forward and replied:
"The end is here!"

Cui Che asked in a deep voice:

"You lead [-] troops and attack Yixing. Within ten days, can you send all the heads of Yixing's rebels to Wuxi!"

"Why does it take ten days? In the end, within five days, the heads of the bandits will be sent to the city of Wuxi!"

Shi Wansui patted his chest hard.

Cui Che frowned and said:
"There are no jokes in the army, General Shi must not lie!"

Shi Wansui said with confidence:

"I would like to issue a military order with Lord Yan. If the deadline is not reached, I will come to see you at the end!"

Cui Che couldn't help thinking of such a picture:
Shi Wansui's headless corpse came in front of him, and the head in his arms smiled at him and said, "Duke Yan, I'm here to see you." '

Hurrying to get this horrible scene out of his mind, Cui Che ordered Kong Yingda to fetch a pen and paper, and issued a military order for Shi Wansui, giving him five days to send the head of the Yixing defenders to Wuxi.

Shi Wansui signed the military order and took the order to go. It would take nearly a day to travel from Jinling to Yixing, and then transport the head from Yixing to Wuxi. It was another day. In fact, Shi Wansui had time to break the city. , only three days.

Cui Che called again:
"Cui Hongdu!"

Cui Hongdu hurriedly responded:
"The end is here!"

Cui Che ordered:
"Leading you to lead [-] troops from Jiangling Prefecture, attacking Jiangyin and Changshu all the way, breaking the siege of Wu County, and intercepting Gao Ni and Wang Ni's reinforcements, can it be done?"

"The final general is willing to follow the example of General Shi and issue a military order with Duke Yan!"

Cui Hongdu's journey was far more difficult and dangerous than Shi Wansui, but he was not afraid of difficulties. What Cui Hongdu was worried about was being idled by Cui Che and being a spectator, just like the battle against Chen, serving under the tent of Qin Wang Yang Jun.

Without credit, how can he regain the title of Duke.

"it is good!"

Cui Che ordered Kong Yingda to draw up another military order, and Cui Hongdu signed the drawing and postponed it. He walked out of the conference hall with his chest straightened out, and went to gather his troops.

"The rest of the generals, each leading the troops, follow me south to besiege Wuxi!"

All the generals agreed one after another.

　Chapter 4 is here, I will write another chapter later, Chapter 5 will be put in tomorrow, tomorrow is five.
