Chapter 746
Salted fish still want to turn over
To the east of Luoyang, it turned out that Yanshi City, the Fortress of the Dongdu Acropolis, had been destroyed by war half a month ago.
At this time, Wang Xuanying's 30,000 Jianghuai Army was stationed here on the ruins of Yanshi. On their left and right, Li Jing's 20,000 Hebei Army and Huangfu Wuyi's 90,000 Dongdu Army were stationed respectively. The two armies were close to the Jianghuai Army camp, and it was better to supervise the Jianghuai Army than to garrison the Jianghuai Army.
It has been several days since the battle in Luokou, Jiushan, but after cleaning up the battlefield, King Chen, who was far away in Luoyang City, did not order them to continue pursuing Li Mi's defeated army. Similarly, Chen Kefu did not order them to return to Hedong, and even allowed them to enter Luokou Cang City nearby for rest.
Thirty thousand bloody battles lasted for nearly a month. The soldiers of the Jianghuai Army, who were suffering heavy casualties, were like a group of abandoned lambs, and were confused and confused on the ruins of Yanshi after the war. Regarding the future situation, the Jianghuai soldiers became more and more passive and desperate. There were even people circulating everywhere in the camp that King Chen was about to destroy them, and Huangfu Wuyi's Dongdu Army was responsible for taking action. The 20,000 Hebei Army was responsible for monitoring the Dongdu Army, and the matter became more and more serious. Even now, the soldiers in the camp did not dare to sleep at night, and they all held spears in their hands, guarding all night, fearing that the Dongdu Army would suddenly take action.
In the tent of the Central Army, someone outside the tent said loudly: "Report to King Zheng, General Bu Wang Shiwei sent back an envoy, and there is an urgent military situation to ask for a visit!"
Wang Xuanying, who was upset, almost jumped up and chopped people with a knife: "Get out, get out, get out, get out of here!" The situation became more and more critical. Although Wang Xuanying had used suicide attacks in the battle of Zhoukou, he consumed a large number of troops of the Jianghuai Army, and wanted to use this to show Chen Kefu his true support. However, Chen Kefu is now less and less willing to live, and is ordered to stop on this battlefield for a long time, and is still surrounded by two armies. He is becoming more and more desperate, and is to the verge of collapse. He has always been restrained, and now he even drinks all night to get drunk all night to intoxicate his head, otherwise he will not be able to sleep.
"King, you have previously told me that the person who has reported the news about General Wang to you as soon as possible." The guard outside the tent said carefully.
After a while, Wang Xuanying's answer came from the tent, and the sound of wine jar rolling down. After waiting for a while, the guards saw Wang Xuanying put his clothes on his body and walked out of the tent, and immediately followed a group of guards. Dozens of steps away, more than a dozen guards of the personal guards surrounded a messenger and stared at him. Since the rumors began in the camp that Chen Kefu wanted to beside them, the alert of the Jianghuai army in the camp had risen a lot, and they would be seriously questioned by any outsider entering the military camp.
The messenger was so "sovereign" reception, and was frightened. He turned his face and Wang Xuanying immediately recognized him and almost exclaimed. He turned around and waved his hand to repel the guards around him: "It's okay, this is someone I know. You guys go down and rest first."
The captain of the guard shook his head: "King, our responsibility is to guard you and stay in a row. The situation is tense at the moment, and we must strengthen our guards. If an enemy assassin sneaks into the camp and hurts the king, we will all commit suicide."
Wang Xuanying sighed: "Okay, then you guys stay outside the tent, the commander, you and the orphans come in."
The messenger dressed in an ordinary Jianghuai army soldier entered Wang Xuanying's tent. Wang Xuanying sneered and asked him: "What's going on? Have my Jianghuai army sent all away? He actually asked my uncle to dress up as a gift?"
Wang Xuanying's uncle Wang Shiwei embarrassedly pulled off the headscarf on his head and said awkwardly: "The matter is quite serious. I can't leave it to ordinary messengers for fear that they will leak. Your other uncles agree with me. I'm sorry, have you disturbed King Zheng's rest?"
"Nothing." Wang Xuanying's expression became solemn: "Tell me, what's so mysterious?"
Although he was in the closely protected Jianghuai Army Commander's tent, Wang Shiwei was still a little hesitant. He muttered quietly to Wang Xuanying's ear.
"What!?" Wang Xuanying exclaimed. He immediately suppressed his voice and asked in a low voice: "Li Mi really wants to surrender to us?!"
"Not yet, King Zheng." Wang Shiwei replied: "Yesterday, a Wei army envoy quietly found us and said that they were a defeated soldier hidden in the nearby mountains. He asked if we were willing to accept it. Because the nearby battlefield had been searched several times, most of the hidden defeated soldiers dared to clean it up. We were worried that there was a fraud in this and did not agree. We replied that we needed time to consider it. But the side was very urgent. In the afternoon and evening, we sent envoys to ask, and finally revealed to us that he was actually the envoy of King Li Mi of Wei. He said that Li Mi was desperate now and had run out of food and grass. The light cavalry in Hebei were looking for them everywhere, so he wanted to surrender to us. This matter was too important, and you and your uncles dared not make a decision, so I came to ask you personally, should we accept Li Mi's surrender?"
Wang Xuanying blinked his eyes and asked, "Where did you meet the envoy of Li Mi?" while drawing out the marching map.
"Jishan, well, it is between the Rushui River and Yingshui River in Xiangcheng, only forty or fifty miles away from Yangcheng in Henan, and only forty or fifty miles away from Xiangcheng. It is estimated that it is more than a hundred miles here..." Wang Shiwei quickly found the location of Jishan on the map. Wang Xuanying stared for a long time and breathed a long sigh: "If it is true, we may be able to change the situation in front of us, and there is really hope..."
Although the Jianghuai Army was left in Yanshi City after the Battle of Luokou, in fact, Li Jing, as the commander-in-chief of the battlefield, drew out the proportion of the light cavalry in the Dongdu Army and the Jianghuai Army to search and pursue Li Mi's traces everywhere. When Li Mi escaped, there were more than 50,000 people, but it was not so easy to find the traces of Li Mi's troops in so many counties southwest of Henan.
Wang Xuanying put on his armor randomly, walked out of the tent and shouted: "Wang Lin!"
"Yes, sir!"
"Prepare a horse for me, and by the way, Xuan Shu and Shi Yun come here."
Although Wang Lin was a little confused, it was already midnight, what else did the lord do? But he still carried out the order without hesitation, ordering the guards to bring Wang Xuanying's mount and send someone to inform Wang Xuanshu and General Wang Shiyun. After a while, Wang Xuanshu and the others rushed over, their clothes were messy, and they obviously had just woken up from their sleep. From afar, when they saw Wang Xuanying, he asked: "Brother, is Chen Kefu going to do it?"
Wang Xuanying looked at Wang Shiwei. Wang Shiwei shook his head and whispered: "I only informed King Zheng of this news, and my second brother doesn't know about this."
Wang Xuanying looked at him with appreciation. Although they were all direct descendants of the Wang clan, this fact was of great importance and even they reported it directly to him before they even informed him. He was pleased to see that under his command, the Wang family also abides by military discipline in the Jianghuai army.
"General Shiyun, I want to leave the barracks temporarily. The troops will be temporarily handed over to Xuanshu's command, and you will assist him."
Wang Shiyun was stunned and replied simply: "Yes, King Zheng." He frowned, and was very surprised that his nephew suddenly left the army and wanted to leave late at night, but he did not ask, just said: "King Zheng, the Hebei Army and the Dongdu Army are still surrounding us at the moment, and the situation is unclear. If you go out like this, you have to pay more attention to safety. Otherwise, I will transfer a battalion to follow you out."
"No need, I'll choose three or five guards and follow me." The horse was already led by, and Wang Xuanying simply turned over to the horse. Behind him, Wang Lin had already picked three of the best guards and prepared to set off. The agile guard jumped onto the war horse. Wang Xuanying was much more cheerful and said with a smile: "Let the young men in the camp go to bed well. They are already exhausted these days." After greeting Wang Shiyun and his younger brother, he turned his horse and rushed out of the camp. Wang Shiwei and the guards quickly followed.
The group quietly left the barracks, and then rode their horses all the way. At the edge of the camp, they met a patrol of the Eastern Capital Army. Wang Shiwei raised the sign of the Hebei Army commander whom he disguised, and the patrol immediately let go. They left the camp unimpeded and sank into the dark field.
Late in the early summer, a wet and cool air rushed towards the people riding horse. Wang Xuanying clamped his feet tightly and kept whipping. His mount ran fast and rushed to the front of the entire team. Wang Lin had to shout several times: "King Zheng, slow down!" In the darkness, it is very dangerous to ride a horse at high speed. Not to mention that he might be hiding nearby Wei army defeated his horse, even if there was a small pit or stone on the road, if the horse fell down, the minor would be broken, and the severe would be fatal. Every time he heard Wang Lin's shouting, Wang Xuanying always lowered the horse's speed a little, but soon, he began to run wildly again. The eager rush made Wang Shiwei think that Li Mi was his nephew's first love.
Wang Xuanying was in a state of excitement, and blood rushed to his brain. It took him a lot of effort to control his urge to recite a poem without chanting a poem. Although he knew that this area was still the battlefield just after the war, it was quite unsafe to only bring a few guards on the road, when he thought of the benefits brought to him by Li Mi's surrender, Wang Xuanying couldn't even wait for a moment and was impatient to set off.
Li Mi is about to surrender! Wang Xuanying believes that in the current situation, there will be no more exciting things to him than this. He has shown countless and sincerity to Chen Kefu, but Chen Kefu is determined to get rid of him and get out of here. Faced with Chen Kefu's powerful strength, he had already accepted his fate. But now Li Mi actually wants to surrender to him instead of surrendering to Chen Kefu, but he immediately sees a bright light!
It seems that everything in the world is getting better again, the summer breeze is cool and the starry sky is brilliant!
