Chapter 572 If you don’t take what God gives you, you will be punished by God
Feng Kuan’s entire face showed a strange red color.
Coupled with his one eye and half of his demonic face, even the guards and subordinates who had long been accustomed to him felt a bit scary.
Who hates Chu people the most?
That is undoubtedly Feng Kuan.
In the Battle of Xiangcheng, Feng Kuan led his troops to cut off the Qin army's rear. Thousands of soldiers were almost killed in this battle. In this battle, he lost one eye and his whole body was burned by fire. Half of his body was burned by fire. His face turned into a grimace, and if he took off his clothes, his body would be covered with scars and scars, and there would be almost no good flesh left.
He was lucky enough to save his life.
All of this was naturally caused by the Chu people.
The biggest enemy is, of course, the Queen Mother of Chu—Jiang Qian.
Feng Kuan will never forget the last decisive battle. The man in white clothes fluttering and plain uniform stood on the commanding heights, holding a war drum and beating loudly, while the Chu soldiers rushed up like a tide. scene.
If Jiang Qian hadn't been born out of nowhere, the Qin army would have had a great chance of winning that battle.
Feng Kuan always thought that it was impossible for him to take revenge,
especially against Jiang Qian.
Because the status gap between the two people is so big that Feng Kuan feels that he will never be able to reach each other in his life,
so he can only keep this hatred in his heart.
But who would have thought that the vicissitudes of the world would really be thirty years to the east of Hedong and thirty years to the west of Hexi!
Jiang Qian, who was once aloof and arrogant, actually fell.
Danyang Coup, Xiang Ying and Xiong Yi rebelled and overthrew Jiang Qian's rule. However, Jiang Qian fled all the way and now ended up in Yong'an County.
In Feng Kuan's view, this is the best opportunity for revenge that God has given him.
"The Demon Queen is actually a member of the Demon Cult?" The news from Chu State not only made Feng Kuan happy, but also surprised. "Isn't it fake news?"
"There is no doubt about it!" The spy dressed as a businessman said with certainty: "Danyang has arrested many of the Demon Queen's associates. It is said that it is precisely because the Demon Queen is a saint of the Demon Cult that Xiang Ying and the others are lonely. With one throw, the coup was launched while the Demon Queen was on her pilgrimage to the Demon Cult Headquarters, and it seems that we also have a share of the credit!"
"You mean we attacked Yong'an. Did he help them in disguise?" Feng Kuan asked.
The spy nodded and said: "Yes, General Feng, we are attacking Yong'an in a big way. Naturally, the Demon Queen cannot let us succeed. Seeing that He Jiong is defeated, she can only send the Huben army stationed in Danyang to come in for rescue. This The Demon Queen's strength in Danyang declined rapidly. In order to make up for the lack of troops, the Demon Queen recruited Na Wei from the southwest to join the capital. Unexpectedly, Xiang Ying colluded with Na Wei and succeeded in one fell swoop. "
Hear this. , Feng Kuan couldn't help but burst out laughing: "There is destiny in the world. I attacked Yong'an just to take advantage of the political instability in Yong'an when Lin Heng stepped down, but I didn't expect that I could destroy the Chu State and have such a situation. Big changes, wonderful, wonderful, this must be the heroic souls of thousands of dead people helping me to do this great thing."
At this point, I couldn't help but feel sad, and waved my fist vigorously. : "This time, I must avenge my dead brothers!"
Feng Kuan has experienced life and death, and has lived in two lives. Naturally, he is no longer a reckless person. Although he has made up his mind to attack Yong'an with all his strength, he is more cautious in his actions.
Because the strength that Yongan County currently possesses is not bad.
The original county soldiers, plus the Huben army sent to rescue from Danyang, totaled 50,000 troops garrisoned, plus there were naval troops on the river to help. Compared with what Feng Kuan currently has in hand The military strength still occupies an advantage. Moreover, there is Han Zheng in Ruyin County. This person has always been the Demon Queen's die-hard supporter. Although the situation has changed drastically now. After the Demon Queen's fall, she went straight to Yong'an instead of Ruyin. This shows that the Demon Queen trusts He Jiong more than Ruyin. Han Zheng, but no one can say whether Han Zheng will respond to Danyang's call and fight back, so naturally he must be included in the calculation.
Feng Kuan decided to report to He Zudao personally and worked hard to win He Zudao's support.
In this battle, relying solely on one’s own strength is indeed a bit inadequate.
The eight towns in Jiangnan must work together to be more confident.
If the general personally takes action to contain Han Zheng, there is no need to fight. He only needs to suppress Han Zheng so that he does not dare to separate his troops to come to the rescue. In addition, he only needs to let Yang Lixin send troops to assist him. Then this We are 70% to 80% sure of the battle.
I have 20,000 standing troops under my command. If I fully recruit them, I can recruit another 5,000 young men from Xiangfan and Xiangfan without any problem. The two demon bastards Ke Wuji and Zhan Zhao have always had a blood feud with the Demon Queen. If there is such an opportunity, they will not let it go. If they attack with all their strength, they will have no problem organizing 20,000 people.
However, the relationship between them and the general is more like a cooperative relationship. They need to discuss carefully what they want to get and whether they are willing to pay the price.
In addition to these preparations made by our own side, the military morale of Yongan's side also needs to be carefully considered.
The Demon Queen, on the other hand, will definitely be a huge blow to them, but how much impact it will have on the army still needs to be collected.
But one thing is certain, that is, there will definitely be a big problem with their logistics supply.
Yongan County cannot afford the logistics of the 30,000 tiger and benign troops brought by Kang Zhen. The food and grass that had been ordered by the Danyang court to be recruited from the counties in the rear are now naturally gone.
An army without logistical supplies is just a stone's throw away from failure.
"General, you have to make the overall arrangements for this battle!" Feng Kuan's one eye was shining brightly as he looked at He Zudao, extremely excited.
"Jianren, what do you think of this matter?" He Zudao asked.
"General, this is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" Chen Jianren was also extremely excited: "It has been almost two years since we arrived in the eight towns in Jiangnan, but we cannot compete in the world with the eight towns in Jiangnan alone. The area is too large It is narrow and there is no strategic buffer space, but if we can capture Yong'an and Ruyin, we can look south to the Han River Plain, which is the foundation of the imperial industry. Xiang Ying and others will definitely see this, so my subordinates thought that if we can If we don’t take action immediately, when Xiang Ying regains his composure, he will definitely organize a large army to attack, and by that time, we may not be able to get it.”
He Zudao nodded slightly, the eight towns in Jiangnan will get richer. Yes, but as Chen Jianren said, the space is too small and there is no strategic room for maneuver. When fighting a war, you cannot afford to lose even one battle. Losing one battle will result in overall chaos.
This was also the reason why He Zudao had no objection when Feng Kuan sent troops to Yong'an. He also wanted to see Chu's reaction.
But I never expected that Feng Kuan would accidentally become the catalyst for Chu's coup this time.
He Zudao even believed that this was his luck, destiny.
If he didn't take action, when Xiang Ying regained control of these two places, He Zudao would be in the same situation as now, being caught in the middle and having trouble breathing.
“If you don’t take what God gives you, you will be punished by God!”
He Zudao said it every word.
