Become a feudal king from today

"No more fighting in Xincheng!"

Early the next morning, Chang Wei shouted loudly in the county government office of Hengshan County.

The other generals all looked surprised.

Zhao Xu laid the map of Jinzhou on the table, pointed to the north and said, "Yes, let's go to Huai County."

Jinzhou is composed of seven counties like Yanzhou. There are three counties to the east of Jincheng and three counties to the west.

Another one is Jinjun where Jincheng is located.

Among them, Jin County is located in the middle, and three counties are arranged opposite each other on the east and west sides.

To the northwest of Xin County, adjacent to Xin County is Huai County.

The terrain of Huai County is long and narrow, completely surrounding Xin County.

The northernmost part of Huai County is Tongguan, facing Yinshan Mountain, which is currently in the hands of Xiliang.

And as long as Tongguan is conquered, Beidi and Xiliang can be cut off from the road south from Yinshan Mountain.

If they capture the two passes to the west of Jinzhou and defend the Jin River, it will be difficult for the two of them to invade Jinzhou.

However, if he wants to attack Huaijun now, he doesn't really want to attack Huaijun.

It was a strategy of attacking from the east and attacking from the west to disrupt Xiliang's defense of Xincheng.

So he expressed his thoughts.

"The Xiliang deserters have returned the news of the loss of Hengshan County. Xiliang will definitely set up many obstacles on the offensive route of the royal family's troops and look for opportunities to eliminate our soldiers." Zhao Xu said: "And the Xiliang soldiers in Xincheng will also improve Be alert and be prepared for our night attack.”

Everyone nodded after hearing this.

Zhao Xu continued: "So, I think it is better to go east and attack west. They thought we were going southwest to attack Xincheng, but we wanted to go northwest to attack Huaicheng."

"In this case, they will definitely send a large army to help. Then we will go to Xincheng."

Halfway through Zhao Xu's words, the generals suddenly realized.

The attack on Huaicheng is false, but the attack on Xincheng is real.

He just deceived the Xiliang army and asked them to concentrate their forces near Huaicheng.

"But this will test the foot strength of the school soldiers." Chang Wei said.

Go to Huaicheng, lead the Xiliang army to arrive, and then suddenly turn around and turn back quickly, which requires the soldiers to march back and forth in a hurry.

The generals nodded after hearing this.

"This is natural. This requires one soldier to be valuable and quick. However, this time to pretend to attack Huaicheng, it is not necessary to send out the entire army, but only ten thousand people." Zhao Xu said.

Chang Wei tasted it for a moment and smiled, "Your Highness means to let these ten thousand people pretend to be an 80,000-strong army dispatched to confuse Xiliang. In fact, the main force of the army stayed in Hengshan City. When the Xiliang soldiers arrived in Huaicheng, these Bian can attack Xincheng."

Zhao Xu laughed softly.

Chang Wei's thinking became more and more on the same line as him.

"After these ten thousand people leave the city, the distance between them should be longer. When walking, they should raise as much dust as possible, just like a large army dispatched to confuse the enemy." Zhao Xu looked at the generals.

Finally he said: "Who is willing to take on the task of feint attack?"

Generals, look at me and I look at you. A young general said: "The last general, Liu Tan, is willing."

Zhao Xu looked at the young general. He and Huo An had been training fusiliers at Nanda Camp some time ago.

But in the end they lost by a narrow margin.

It is said that he cried after returning home.

Seeing Liu Tan's firm eyes, he nodded and said, "Okay, there are no jokes in the army. This matter is of great importance and there must be no mistakes."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, the general will definitely complete the feint, otherwise he will come to see you." Liu Tan said loudly, holding his neck.

Zhao Xu nodded and said to everyone: "In that case, let's rest for five days to see how Xiliang reacts to the loss of Hengshan County, and then implement the plan."

Hearing this, everyone responded in unison.

Another reason why he adopted this strategy was to end the war in Jinzhou as soon as possible and not give Beidi a chance to intervene.

At present, Beidi is still stationing troops in Yinshan Mountain, sitting on the mountain and watching tigers fight.

The longer the time drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be to him, otherwise once the Beidi army enters Jinzhou, this war will definitely end in failure.

…

Jincheng.

The news brought back by the deserters from Hengshan County made Murong Wuji's face turn purple.

He expected that Ye Renrong could not stop King Yan's troops.

Therefore, Ye Renrong was not allowed to fight to the death with King Yan.

Instead, he was asked to defend the city and consume King Yan's troops.

But what I didn't expect was that King Yan could take Hengshan County so easily through a night attack.

Even Ye Renrong was captured.

The more than 40,000 Xiliang soldiers in the city were completely destroyed, and only a few escaped.

"Chief, this King Yan really cannot be underestimated." A general said.

He is one of the three deputy leaders under Murong Wuji who commanded 50,000 troops. He is auspicious.

Murong Wuji nodded slowly.

He fought against the Dasong Imperial Army all year round in Jinzhou.

But Xiliang has never suffered such a big loss at the hands of the Forbidden Army.

But King Yan did it in just one night.

However, he also captured key information from the deserters.

King Yan's artillery first smashed the city gate, which provided conditions for the army to enter the city.

"Hengshan City is a small city without even a moat. This allowed King Yan to take advantage." Murong Wuji said: "Order the entire army to put away the suspension bridge at night and make sure that there are sandbags piled behind the city gate, and at the same time, beware of Yan." The king's army attacked at night."

"Yes, leader." The generals around Murong Wuji responded in unison.

Then he said: "Send five thousand cavalry to Hengshan County to explore the location of King Yan's food route. If found, we will cut off the food route."

Although he knew that King Yan must have hoarded a large amount of grain and grass in Hengshan County.

But sitting back and watching the loss of Hengshan County without taking any action would destroy the prestige of Xiliang.

The cavalry was sent this time to boost Xiliang's power, and secondly, if the grain road was really discovered, it would be destroyed.

His words trailed off.

At this time, a general came over, escorting three Xiliang soldiers.

When he arrived at Murong Wuji's side, he said: "Chief, I will catch a few deserters who hit you. They claim to have been let go by King Yan when the Feihu Pass camp was breached."

"Did King Yan let him go?" Murong Wuji frowned.

"Yes, they also said that King Yan gave them money to go back, and some soldiers surrendered to King Yan." The general said.

"That's nonsense. How could King Yan let you back and give you money as payment? Chief, I think they must have taken King Yan's money and used it as a job for King Yan. These young masters are really unreliable." Ji Li snorted coldly. A sound.

At this time, the Xiliang deserter said: "Chief, this time in Hengshan County, Prince Chuang's army surrendered the fastest, otherwise our defeat would not have been so miserable."

He was a true Xiliang man, so the reputation of a defeated army was naturally not good, so he shifted the blame to Young Master Chuang.

Murong Wuji was already angry because he lost Hengshan County, so he said: "Push them out and kill them!"

"Chief, please spare your life. What I said is true. We will come back only when our hearts are set with Xiliang..."

How could Murong Wuji be willing to listen to their excuses.

The general immediately ordered the soldiers to take the three people away.

Seeing this, Murong Wuji snorted and returned to the courtyard in Jincheng.

The next day.

Five thousand cavalry set off from Jincheng and headed for Hengshan County.

Arriving in Hengshan County, they sent out cavalry teams to explore around.

But to their disappointment, there was no food road between Feihu Pass and Hengshan County.

Then, they came to the foot of Hengshan County.
