Chapter 35 Li Qiu Ambush
Chapter 35: Liqiu Ambush
Liqiu is located in the southeast of Xiangyang City, on the verge of Mianshui. It is an inconspicuous small city, but now it has been captured by troops led by Yang Yanzhao.

In the Liqiu county government office, Zhang Fei asked Yang Yanzhao, "General Yang, now that we have captured Liqiu, what should we do next?"

Yang Yanzhao thought for a while and said: "Liqiu City is small and not suitable for Tibetan soldiers. If we lay an ambush here, we will definitely be discovered by the Jing army. The only way now is to abandon Liqiu City and go to the forest near Mianshui to ambush. .”

After the soldiers had their fill, Yang Yanzhao ordered them to take ten days of dry food to the ambush site.

The commander-in-chief of the Jing army in Jiangxia was Huang Tong, the chariot and cavalry general of the state of Jing. Huang Tong was originally ordered by Cai Mao to lead [-] troops to guard Xiling. Ready to send troops to rescue, when Cai Mao's request letter arrived, he immediately mobilized his troops and went to Xiakou to join the [-] soldiers stationed in Xiakou, and went to Xiangyang together to ask for help. Unexpectedly, Xiakou could not find all the ships that could provide [-] soldiers and horses to go north. In desperation, Huang Tong had no choice but to go north by land. The city is only twenty miles away.

In the dense forest ten miles outside Liqiu City, [-] Deng Jun led by Yang Yanzhao had been waiting here for five days. They had not seen Jing Jun, so they couldn't help feeling a little discouraged. The judgment was wrong, the Jing army did not go to Liqiu at all, but went to Xiangyang from another direction.

This is, the scouts sent came back to report that the Jing army was still ten miles away from here. Everyone was in a great mood. After waiting for so long, they finally came. Yang Yanzhao hurriedly let the soldiers have a full meal, and then went to the agreed positions to ambush , Waiting for the arrival of Jing Jun.

Huang Tong led his troops all the way to the north, and the places they passed were all the territory of Jing State. He never thought that there would be a lone Deng army going deep into Liqiu to ambush him, so he was not too prepared.

"General, Liqiu County is ahead. Our army has been marching all the way. The soldiers are already exhausted. Why don't we go to Liqiu to rest for a day?" At this time, Huang Tong's lieutenant general came to persuade him.

After Huang Tong heard it, he thought about it and found it very reasonable. After passing Liqiu, he would arrive in Xiangyang in a day. According to the news from Cai Mao, Deng Jun has been standing still for the past few days, and there is no movement. One day later, Cai Mao should not be a problem, and the soldiers under his command were almost exhausted after marching all the way. If they don't take a good rest, even if they arrive in Xiangyang City, they will just go to give away their heads.

"In that case, well, let the brothers speed up and go to Liqiu to rest." Huang Tong ordered.

"Here!" The generals of the Jing army were very happy when they heard that they could rest at Liqiu. They quickened their pace and soon entered Deng Jun's ambush circle.

"Chirp! Chirp!" Huang Tong had just led his troops into Deng Jun's encirclement when he was attacked by bows and arrows and shouted: "The whole army is on alert, there is an ambush."

"Kill!" Yang Yanzhao gave an order, and Zhang Fei and Pang De rushed to the Jing army's formation first.

The Jing army was already exhausted due to the rapid march for several days. In addition, the Jing army who was planning to go to Liqiu to rest had no defense at all. Now that Deng Jun suddenly broke out, the Jing army could not form An effective defense leads to a rout.

Seeing this, Huang Tong was filled with grief and indignation. He knew that with the strength of the Jing army, he could not resist the wolf-like Deng army. In order to save his life, Huang Tong abandoned the large army and took a few soldiers to take advantage of the The scene was chaotic, and he escaped into the dense forest and disappeared.

As the saying goes, a snake can't do without a head. As the commander-in-chief of the Jing army, Huang Tong's run directly became the last straw that overwhelmed the Jing army. The Jing army put down their weapons and surrendered one after another.

In this battle, Deng Jun won a complete victory, and Yang Yanzhao led the army to escort a large number of Jing Army prisoners back to Liqiu, and sent people to Xiangyang to report victory to Yue Fei.

Yue Fei was overjoyed when he learned that Yang Yanzhao had wiped out Jiang Xia's Jing army. Once this Jing army was wiped out, he would be able to attack Xiangyang City unscrupulously. So he was preparing to issue an order to attack the city tomorrow, and planned to send someone to Yang Yanzhao. An order was sent to him to raid the south gate of Xiangyang City during the fierce battle in Xiangyang City. When Cai Mao was caught off guard, the spies sent a message that King Jing Wangyao died and Jiangling fell into civil strife.

After learning of the death of King Jing and the civil strife in Jiangling, Yue Fei slowed down his siege again. According to the news sent back by the spies, King Jing did not appoint a heir and heir before his death, so King Jing After his death, the court was divided into two factions, one faction headed by the four major families supported the second son Wang Qing, the clan headed by Yicheng Hou Wang Li supported the eldest son Wang Jin, and the [-] soldiers guarding Xiangyang They are also divided into two factions, and wars may start at any time. As long as there is a civil war in Jiangling City, Cai Mao will definitely not be able to sit still, and then his chance will come.

In order to better implement the plan, Yue Fei told the news to his generals. After all, he promised last time that he could attack Xiangyang as long as he eliminated the reinforcements from the Jing army from Jiangxia, and the news that Yang Yanzhao defeated the Jing army The whole army has already known it. If I want to slow down the siege, I am afraid that the army will have opinions, so I still want to tell everyone about it.

Yue Fei's plan to take advantage of the civil strife in Jiangling to reduce the loss of attacking Xiangyang was supported by the three advisers Su Hong, Zhang Bin, and Yao Guangxiao, and the generals did not object. He also ordered Li Qiu and Yang Yanzhao's troops to stand still.

At this moment in Jiangling City, the air was filled with tension. Three days ago, King Jing Wangyao passed away suddenly, before leaving any last words. This caused the King of Jing to not know who should take the throne for a while. Inheritance, the ministers in the court were divided into two factions. The family officials headed by Kuai Yi and Pang Yin believed that the establishment of a descendant should be the eldest son, and Wang Qing, the second son of the queen, should be established as the king, while Wang Li, the Marquis of Yicheng, should be established as the king. The headed clan ministers believed that Wang Qing had no ruler, and now that Jing was in trouble at home and abroad, the eldest son Wang Jin should be made king.

The two factions have their own thoughts. Queen Jing is Kuai Yi's biological sister, and Wang Qing is his nephew. Only Wang Qing's ascension to the throne is in the interests of their four major families, and Wang Li also knows that Kuai Yi and the others Therefore, he has always supported Wang Jin and Wang Qing to compete for the throne. This is why King Jing Wang Yao has not been able to establish a crown prince during his lifetime. One side is the clan relatives, and the other side is the minister. It is not good to favor either side , so it has been dragging on, who knows that Wang Yao died suddenly, and the battle that was hidden in the dark was directly defeated on the table, and now it is almost time to meet each other.
