Chapter 421 What kind of double happiness is this?
Linghu Zhishu was so happy that he even walked a little unsteadily.
Without him, it would have been a great victory on the battlefield.
Yesterday, Linghu's army, under the command of Li Guohua, took advantage of Zhang Quanyi's main force to attack Xingyang and launched a massive attack. The Luoyang defenders were caught off guard. With a serious shortage of troops, they only resisted slightly. Then he lost his position.
Li Guohua then set up an ambush halfway and defeated Zhang Quanyi's main force, which hurried back for support. Zhang Quanyi's 50,000 elite troops attacked, but only more than 10,000 troops escaped in the end. They fled all the way to Yiyang before escaping the pursuers. .
In this contest, Zhang Quanyi made a wrong judgment.
He believed that Linghuye would definitely attack Chang'an first.
After all, Chang'an has the Wei family and the emperor. Taking Chang'an is equivalent to holding the title, and it will be much more convenient to do whatever you want to do.
It was under this guiding ideology that when Wei Yi lost Hedong County and retreated to Chang'an, Zhang Quanyi chose to take the initiative and attack Xingyang, hoping to expand his strategic depth.
The one who occupies the Xingxiang position is the Qin family of Donghai.
Speaking of which, the Donghai Qin family was also unlucky.
In the past, they were often oppressed by the Kou family. After Kou Zhong's death, the Qin family immediately turned back and took away a lot of the Kou family's interests. Then they responded to Linghuye and sent troops from the East China Sea to invade Luoyang.
They also took a fancy to Linghuye's possibility of successfully winning the title, so they decided to take a gamble and hug Linghuye's thigh.
Unexpectedly, the Pengcheng Kou family didn't even want to lose face, and actually surrendered directly to the Chu State, seducing the Chu army commander to go straight in. As a result, the empty Donghai County was taken over by the Chu army.
Without a family, the Qin family could only defend Xingyang. Naturally, this captured territory could no longer be lost.
Zhang Quanyi came to snatch it, but the Qin family resisted desperately.
The two sides fought desperately in Xingyang, and Li Guohua took advantage of the opportunity.
Zhang Quanyi, who made a strategic misjudgment, was frightened and angry. He lost ground and made continuous mistakes. He was plotted by Li Guohua. Tens of thousands of elites were destroyed and fled to Yiyang in embarrassment.
At this point, the dominant Zhang Quanyi military group has basically come to an end. Although it is still alive, the small Yiyang is sandwiched between the Linghu Group and the He Zudao Group. It is no longer of importance. none.
Whether he can hold on depends on the looks of Linghuye and He Zudao.
From being able to influence the world, serving food on the table, and dividing things up to having nothing, it only took a few short months.
The Donghai Qin family, which was once a force, first had its home raided, and then was severely beaten by Zhang Quanyi. It suffered a serious loss of strength. From then on, it also lost the qualification to be an ally of Linghuye.
Being an ally also requires strength.
Linghuye killed two birds with one stone, taking Luoyang and weakening the Qin family.
What makes Li Guohua even more happy is that because the defeat of Zhang Quanyi was so smooth, Luo Zhongcang and other large Chang Pingcang were successfully taken over.
There is enough food for millions of troops to be stored there for two years.
This is the basis for fighting for the world!
"Congratulations, brother Linghu!" He Zudao congratulated the other party as soon as they met.
“General, we are all happy, we are all happy!” Linghu Zhishu’s eyes and brows were full of joy, “I just received a letter from Uncle Li. Next, the army from Henan will enter Tongguan. We are approaching Chang'an. You want me to ask the general if you want to hunt Chang'an together?"
He Zudao laughed.
"Knowing how to hunt" is just a more euphemistic statement. This is to make yourself surrender!
We just captured Luoyang, but we haven’t conquered Chang’an yet!
He Zudao shook his head.
Chang'an also has the wily Wei Zhengdao and hundreds of thousands of troops. After Qinling, Shu County will definitely spare no effort to support Chang'an to consume Linghuye's strength.
Why do you, Linghuye, think you are sure to win?
Don't forget, behind you, Li Dachui's Beiting Protector's Mansion is staring at you!
Bei Yuan is divided into three, and they are fighting endlessly against each other. Maybe in less than two years, Li Dachui will put Bei Yuan to death. At that time, the northern cavalry will move south, and Hedong and Hexi will bear the brunt. Your old nest will not be protected. , how to talk about fighting for the world?
You really deceive me into not knowing the power of the world?
In my own opinion, not to mention Dachu, Li Dachui's situation after he captured Shu County was much better than Linghuye.
Linghuye is in a hurry!
If you can join forces with yourself, you will certainly have a huge advantage.
But why should he be the main one and oneself the supplementary one?
Can’t you be the master for once?
“Brother Linghu, today is a double happiness!” He Zudao pointed to the banquet in front of him: “Today’s banquet is not only to celebrate General Li Guohua’s victory in Luoyang, but also to congratulate our eight towns in the south for finally winning Xueqian. Shame on you, regain the lost ground!”
Linghu Zhishu’s smile suddenly faded.
"Early this morning, while I was still sleeping, magpies were croaking outside the window. I knew something good was going to happen, but I didn't know it was a double happiness!" He Zudao laughed: "Feng Kuan sent the good news, he has already Yesterday, we sent troops to Fancheng. After a hard battle, we recovered Fancheng, which had been lost for several years. We killed thousands of Chu State's cavalry. Even the Chu State Yong'an County Guard was killed by us. Haha, hahaha, Xiangfan is reunited! , the gateway to the north and south has returned to the Eight Towns in the South!"
Linghu Zhishu took a deep breath, a smile appeared on his face again, and congratulated He Zudao repeatedly, but he was full of regrets in his heart. He Zudao was right. Recovering Fancheng was crucial to the eight towns in the south.
In the past, the Chu army held Fancheng, which was very convenient for the eight towns in the south to fight and kill, and it also made He Zudao extremely passive in this game.
The recapture of Fancheng allowed the eight towns in the south to not only be evenly matched against the Chu State, but at least they would no longer be beaten passively like in the past.
The bargaining power is thicker.
Because Chu State knew very well that once He Zudao really turned against Linghuye, with Linghuye's full support, the battle in the south would be evenly matched again.
So, they are bound to increase their chips to say that lowering is not enough.
Correspondingly, if Linghu Group wants to persuade He Zudao, the price it has to pay will be even greater,
and it may not necessarily work.
It was originally a wedding banquet, but Linghu Zhishu drank it so much that it was tasteless.
How is that possible?
How is that possible!
Lin Heng, the governor of Yong'an County, is not an unknown person, but an important official of the Chu State with outstanding abilities. Yong'an County has tens of thousands of troops stationed to deal with the Xiangfan situation.
How could Feng Kuan, a reckless man, kill someone like Lin Heng?
Unless Lin Heng wants to commit suicide!
There is some reason for this that I don’t know.
It’s too weird.
While walking slowly on the way back, the cold wind blew and his body was agitated. Linghu Zhishu suddenly remembered someone and stopped immediately.
Li Dachui!
That guy disappeared without a trace after taking Shu County. He was neither in Shu County nor back to Beiting. Where did he go?
Judging from the past pattern of where this guy appears, some earth-shattering things must happen there. Is the death of Chu Guo Lin Heng related to him?
The more Linghu Zhishu thought about it, the more it made sense.
Killing Lin Heng and causing chaos in Yong'an will inevitably involve the situation in Xiangfan. Once Fancheng is in chaos, Feng Kuan will have the opportunity to regain Fancheng, giving He Zudao enough leverage to reject Linghu in the north and fight Chu in the south. country, thus making the world situation even more chaotic.
What is Li Dachui afraid of now?
Aren't you just afraid that all the major forces in the pass will decide the overall situation by dividing three by five and divide by two?
As a result, in the remote Beiting Protectorate, all the food was eaten before it could even be served on the table.
So he needs He Zudao, the spoiler, to continue to make the situation chaotic.
We must find out how Lin Heng died!
Linghu Zhishu believed from the bottom of his heart that Li Dachui should be in Chu State now.
This news can be told to Chu Kingdom Tianluo through some channels!
And during this period of time, Linghu Zhishu finally understood why.
No need to bother with this person.
He will never look back until the end of the road. Even if there is an iron wall ahead, this guy will most likely want to hit it with a chisel. It's easy to get through.
Instead of wasting time on him, it is better to attack his subordinates instead.
Once He Zudao's momentum goes down, he can convince them to do it anyway.
In addition, Zhang Quanyi of Yiyang can now go and surrender.
This man is at the end of his rope, and unlike He Zudao, there is still a chance to convince him.
Linghu Zhishu can guess pretty well what this person is worried about.
He decided to take a trip to Yiyang.
In Yiyang City, Zhang Quanyi was haggard. A few months ago, he was so energetic that he rebuked the Fang chiefs. In the blink of an eye, he was trapped in a small county, with no way out and pursuers behind him.
"Your Majesty, there are hundreds more deserters today!" Zhen walked in with two big dark circles under his eyes.
When I first came to Yiyang, there were still more than ten thousand troops. However, Yiyang is a small place and does not have much reserves on weekdays. How can it cope with the consumption of tens of thousands of troops?
When logistics supplies are insufficient and the future is bleak with no hope in sight, desertion naturally occurs.
"If you run away, just run away. I can't support them now!" Zhang Quanyi said dejectedly: "You have followed me for so long anyway, and the current failure has nothing to do with them. If they leave, If there is still a way to survive, then leave!”
"Your Majesty, if this trend is allowed to spread, I'm afraid that within a month, your Majesty will no longer have any soldiers to fight
!" Zhang Quanyi said seriously and anxiously. Zhang Quanyi's decadence was far beyond his expectation. .
"Even if they all stay, what can we do?" Zhang Quanyi waved his hand: "Serious, you go, I'm tired and want to take a rest."
Looking at Zhang Quanyi's hand The wine jar on top sighed solemnly and withdrew helplessly.
The situation is over, what can be done?
In fact, the path in front of Zhang Quanyi is already very clear. There are three.
First, what is the point of investment!
Second, surrender to Linghu Ye!
Third, go to hell!
