The Summoning of the Troubled Times at the End of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 508

Luanshigang

At this time, the two armies were engaged in a fierce offensive and defensive battle. Due to the combined forces of the Qian army, the Qi army had a slight advantage in numbers.

Not only that, Xue Dingshan also requested to transport the siege equipment made by Yue Fei.

For a while, even the famous general Peng Yue was struggling to support him. Although Luanshigang was located in a dangerous position, it was not a high city after all.

It is also impossible to achieve the mentality of not being afraid of siege weapons such as catapults!
In fact, Peng Yue also thought about digging a pit and using the vacuum to block the attack of the catapult.

However, due to the loose soil here, it is impossible to realize this idea.

At this moment, Peng Yue's army was already unable to hold on, and when Peng Yue put the withdrawal of troops on the agenda, the turning point came suddenly.

Because Meng Huo, the leader of the Nanman, rebelled, attacked the city and plundered the land, but there was news that everything was going badly.

This news could not help but give Peng Yue and all the soldiers who were in trouble a shot in the arm, allowing them to restore their previous fighting spirit here.

In fact, Peng Yue was responsible for the planning of the Nanban riots. On the eve of the Taiping Army's dispatch, Peng Yue made a careful deployment.

Among them, the Eastern King Yang Xiuqing led the main force to go straight to Cangwu, and fought against Wang Xuance, so as to hold back his army and attract the Qi army to come to the rescue.

As for Peng Yue, he divided his troops to attack Chen County by surprise, preparing to take Chen County in one fell swoop and cut off the food road between the Qi army and Lingnan King Xuance.

However, Peng Yue also played it safe, and secretly sent envoys to the Nanman camp in Qianzhou to instigate rebellion against the Nanman people.

The reason why Peng Yue was so sure was that he was always paying attention to the situation in Qianzhou, and knew that his governor, Sun Kewang, was wantonly suppressing the Nanman people.

Therefore, this almost made Peng Yue see an opportunity. As long as he can offer a suitable price, the Southern Barbarian army will definitely be tempted and will obediently cooperate with his army to raid Qi.

Meng Huo, king of the Southern Barbarians, is also full of ambitions, and he is also very eager to become king and hegemony in his heart, so under the persuasion of Peng Yue's envoy, he hit it off with the Taiping Army!
The purpose of Peng Yue is to need the Southern Barbarians to disrupt Qianzhou, and then threaten the safety of Bazhou and even Shuzhou.

Thus, to distract the attention of the Qi army and create opportunities for the main force of the Taiping army to break through.

As long as its main force can enter Xiangzhou, the situation will be reversed, and there will be no danger in the hinterland of Qi.

Afterwards, the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan was dispatching a large army to approach the east of Xiangzhou, and in an instant, the situation in Xiangzhou would become critical.

This was Peng Yue's plan. However, because Sun Kewang's prestige in Qianzhou was so high, although Meng Huo had ambitions, he did not dare to rebel with great fanfare and openly rebelled against the Qi army.

Therefore, Meng Huo remained silent and did not abide by the agreement with Peng Yue.

As for Peng Yue's plan for him, as long as he can cooperate with the Taiping Army, Qi will be defeated by then.

Our side will assist the Nanman army to attack the land of Bashu and support the Nanman king Menghuo as the king of Shu.

It has to be said that the big cake painted by Peng Yue is not without richness, and it is almost infinitely attractive to Meng Huo.

Originally, with Meng Huo's delay in rebelling, Peng Yue was about to be disappointed and prepared to order the entire army to withdraw.

It's just that happiness often comes at the most critical moment, when it can't be prevented!
······
Gangneung
Of course, this important news must not be hidden from King Gaoqi of Qi. At this time, it happened within a day or two, and Zhao Ji, who worked in Qianzhou, sent an envoy to tell Gao Qi the truth.

After learning about the military situation, Gao Qi said slowly: "Meng Huo, Meng Huo, I didn't expect you to be really wicked!"

"Guben thought you would be so calm, so he was going to let you go, and wait for the southern barbarian soldiers in the mountains to be recruited in the future."

"I didn't expect you to collude with the Taiping Army and plot rebellion, so don't blame Gu for being cruel to you!"

As soon as the words fell, Gao Qiqi's face changed instantly. In fact, although the collusion between Meng Huo and the Taiping Army has not yet been reported.

However, according to Gao Qi's guess, how could this matter be less fueled by Peng Yue?

Otherwise, relying on Meng Huo's fear of death, not to mention Zhuge Liang is in Chengdu, the capital of Shu Prefecture, even Wang Shouren of Bazhou can deal with Meng Huo.

Moreover, thinking that even in the most critical moment, Peng Yue still sticks to Luanshigang.

Peng Yue was so persistent, as if he was waiting for something, and at this time the Nanman army was rebelling, so we can draw a conclusion.

As far as Gao Qi is concerned, he is very calm now, but this time he is not planning to keep Meng Huo alive.

Although he knew that as long as Meng Huo was scared by his own side, he would definitely fall to his knees at the feet of his own army in the end due to his urinating nature.

However, today's Da Qi is not the hungry, cold and weak Shu Han, and Gao Qi is not Zhuge Liang.

The reason why Zhuge Liang captured and attacked seven times was because the Shu Han no longer had time to entangle with the Southern Barbarians in the south.

But today's Daqi is different, its Bashu and Jingxiang are already in its pocket, as long as he wants to pacify the Nanman, he has a lot of time at any time, and he doesn't worry at all.

Moreover, at this moment, the strength of the Qi army is not at all worried that it will not be enough, and it will not affect the eastward expedition to Jiangdong, the suppression of the anti-king, and the unification of the Jiangnan area.

The most important point is that today's Gao Qi doesn't have Zhuge Liang's patience at all, and he is going to play some tricks with Meng Huo.

For the current situation, only endless killings can deter the rampant Nanman soldiers.

The next day, in the early morning, Gao Qi ordered his servant Zheng He to report the battle to all the civil and military ministers under his command.

Afterwards, following the discussion between Gao Qi and the ministers of civil and military affairs, Gao Qi decided to send the remaining standing army entrenched in Jiangling to organize the southern expedition.

Because of Liu Rengui, Xue Dingshan had each led [-] troops to the south, but at this time Jiangling only had [-] troops left.

Afterwards, Gao Qi ordered Zhang Xian, who stayed behind, to be the main general, Yang Yanzhao was the deputy general, He Yuanqing was the vanguard, and Jia Xu was the military adviser to lead an army of [-] in the southern expedition.

This time, Gao Qi has only one military order, which is to completely put down the disaster of the southern barbarians in Qianzhou.

It's just that when the Southern Expedition Army was about to set off, it was a general who came to ask Gao Qi.

This person was Yang Zaixing, the son of Yang Lin who followed Gao Qi to the south at the request of Yang Ye.

It can be said that Yang Zaixing was born to be active on the battlefield. At Xue Dingshan, when Liu Rengui went south, Yang Zaixing asked to join the army.

It's just that this move was rejected by Gao Qi on the grounds that his injury was not healed, which was exactly Yang Ye's suggestion.

Yang Ye knew that Yang Zaixing's temperament, his bloody courage, had an abnormal desire for fighting.

Therefore, Yang Ye asked Gao Qi not to fight as much as possible, but unexpectedly, at this time, Yang Zaixing came to him on his own initiative.

"Zai Xing, your injury is not healed yet, this time you should stay in Jiangling temporarily to recuperate!"

As expected, faced with another challenge, Gao Qi still refused.

Hearing this, Yang Zaixing became impatient, and said vigorously: "King Qi, the last general's injury is not serious, so we won't delay the battle to kill the enemy."

"The last general and he arrived in the territory of Daqi for many days, but he still made every inch of his achievements!"

Immediately afterwards, following Yang Zaixing's resolute call for a fight, Gao Qi was quite helpless in the end and agreed to Yang Zaixing to join the army.

Immediately afterwards, tens of thousands of troops marched south to Qianzhou under the leadership of the chief general Zhang Xian.

With this southern expedition, almost all the garrison troops in Jiangling City were mobilized, and then Gao Qi sent an order to Chen Dao to be responsible for recruiting troops.

The scale of recruitment this time is [-] soldiers and horses, among which at least nearly [-] good riders must be recruited.

At this time, Gao Qi also needs to organize a cavalry for the standing army, so be prepared!

······
As Zhang Xian's army gradually arrived in Qianzhou, the focus of this battle of Lingnan, which was triggered from south to west, was officially launched.

At this time, Xue Dingshan and Sun Kewang were attacking Peng Yue's line of defense in order to try to defeat the Taiping Army as soon as possible and open up their food roads.

As for Peng Yue, he is also struggling to resist, hoping that Meng Huo can give you some points to hold the Qi army firmly in Qianzhou and buy opportunities for himself.

In the blink of an eye, nearly one month passed, Peng Yue relied on his own strength to resist Xue Dingshan and Sun Kewang's joint onslaught.

Its defense line was standing still, but at this time, the bad news spread to Luanshigang where Peng Yue was located, as expected.

Seeing this, Peng Yue was immediately disappointed, with an extremely frustrated expression on his face, he said, "Oh, it's over, it's over!"

"It seems that our army is not far from being destroyed!"

It turned out that the battle report in Peng Yue's hand was the news that the Nanman army was defeated and the entire army was wiped out. Even the Nanman king Meng Huo was picked off by Yang Zaixing.

In fact, Peng Yue also knew that it was impossible to resist the wolves and tigers of the Qi army with the mob of the Southern Barbarians.

However, Peng Yue was also lucky, and only hoped that Meng Huo could hold off the rebels for several months. At that time, he would block the Qi army's food road, and Wang Xuance in the south of Lingnan would definitely suffer a big defeat.

All it takes is for the Eastern King Yang Xiuqing to lead the main force to Xiangzhou, and everything will be done!

Unfortunately, Meng Huo was even more vulnerable than Peng Yue imagined.

In fact, Meng Huo was really not to blame for this battle. In the original history, Zhuge Liang was able to play with him in his southern expedition, capturing seven times and seven times.

However, the current lineup of the Qi army is not inferior to Zhuge Liang in the slightest. Zhang Xian is the main general, followed by Yang Yanzhao, and Jia Xu is the assistant.

There are even Yang Zaixing and He Yuanqing who are two top generals. It is not easy for Meng Huo to last for a month.

······
For the defeat of Meng Huo, it was extremely easy. After entering Qianzhou, Sun Kewang wrote to inform Zhao Ji.

Let the "flying army" trained secretly cooperate with Zhang Xianjun at all times, follow his orders at any time, and defeat the Southern Barbarian army.

Zhang Xian first adopted Jia Xu's strategy and led his army to fight Meng Huo in the field. He lost ten battles and lost ten battles, which made the Nanman army look down on the Qi army who came to help.

Later, Zhang Xian used Jia Xu's plan to lure the snake out of the cave, and ambushed heavy troops at the Panlong Valley. After Meng Huo led the army in ambush, he suddenly set off a fire.

Since autumn had already entered at this time, the surrounding trees and flowers had begun to dry up, and the wind took advantage of the fire to ignite the fire in an instant.

At this moment, the Qi army was taking the opportunity to block the exit, and for a while, the Nanman army was trapped in the fire.

In the end, in the midst of a strong desire to survive, nearly [-] Nanman soldiers surrendered to the Qi army, and about [-] were buried in the sea of ​​flames.

As for the generals of the Southern Barbarians, including Meng Huo, all of them died under the hands of He Yuanqing and Yang Zaixing.

Following the defeat of the main force of the Southern Barbarians, Yang Yanzhao followed Zhang Xian's order and led the flying army under the guidance of Orion, who was familiar with the mountains.

In ten days, more than a hundred tribes were seized, and the villagers of the Nanman tribe were forced to move down the mountain to live.

The Nanman rebellion in Qianzhou was completely put down!

······
Next, after defeating the Nanman, Zhang Xian did not immediately dispatch troops, but followed Jia Xu's strategy and led the army to gallop south to attack Peng Yue's troops.

Obviously, at this moment, Peng Yue's troops have suffered a huge crisis.

Can Peng Yue save the day?
