Chapter 263: Parting Words

; The sky is getting brighter, but Zhao Dong's eyes are full of darkness. Like him, all the officers of the Zhao army did not expect that on this rainy night, the Yan army crossed the Yishui River and entered the city by surprise. Many officers did not Stay in the barracks, and when the catastrophe happens, they can no longer find their own army.

Zhao Dong tried his best to organize an army of hundreds of people, but he was hit by Gao Yuan's precise attack immediately. When the sharp hundreds of swords broke through his formation, he cut down the soldiers he had gathered so hard. At that time, his personal guards hugged him onto the horse and fled with him.

The rain was still falling, much lighter than at night, Zhao Dong was covered in mud, he was not much better than a beggar, even his face was covered with mud, behind him, the broken soldiers who escaped all over the mountains and plains were heading towards He is close here, and farther away, on the tall towers of the whole city, the flag with the word Zhao has disappeared, and a flag with the word Yan is flying proudly in the wind and rain.

There were more than ten thousand Zhao troops stationed in the city of Quanzhou. After the first battle, half of them were trapped in the city. It was another complete defeat.

On the top of the city of Quanzhou, Gao Yuan with his hands behind his back, looking down at the city, a group of Zhao Guo prisoners who were tied up with ropes were being led from the east city to the Yishui River. A few days ago, Xu Yuan cut them back The trees piled up like a mountain on the opposite bank can finally be used. They were roughly nailed into a raft, and long ropes were tied on both sides to drive the prisoners up in groups, drag them to the opposite bank, and escort them to the base camp. In the middle of the river, there are no soldiers guarding it. If you have the guts to jump off, then go for it. As long as you have the ability to swim out of the control range of the Yan army without dying, you will be considered dead. In fact, the rafts themselves are In the process of crossing the river, a raft suddenly dispersed, and dozens of Zhao Jun on the raft screamed and fell into the river, because dozens of people were tied together by a rope and fell into the river. , which can basically be declared dead.

At this time, Gao Yuan will not care about the life and death of these Zhao troops. He must transport these captives across the river as quickly as possible. It is a big problem not to kill Zhao Dong. There are tens of thousands of Zhao troops in the city. At least half of them escaped from the city. If Zhao Dong had the ability, he could organize them to kill each other and regain control of the city.

Last night's big victory was based on the sudden attack on a rainy night. The opponent had no defense at all, and the organizational system was disrupted in a hurry. In the panic, no resistance was organized at all, but even so, in some small local battles, some Zhao Jun still caused a lot of casualties to Yan Jun. This fact constantly reminds Gao Yuan that when fighting head-on, his subordinates are obviously not opponents of the opponent.

The fall of the whole city will sound the alarm for Zhao Jun. If there is a problem at one end of the balance, the other end will also be in danger. The whole city is not far from Fangcheng and Chaocheng. After Zhao Qi knows the news , I will lead the army to counterattack immediately, and now my main task is to rebuild the city defense and defend the whole city.

Fortunately, last night's attack did not damage the city's defenses at all. The city defense weapons prepared by Zhao Jun painstakingly fell into Gao Yuan's hands. He saw a brand new bed crossbow, bundles of feather arrows, and pots of Gao Yuan couldn't be unhappy.

With a smile on his face, he directed the soldiers to arrange these weapons on the top of the city.

On the east bank of the Yishui River, Jiang Dawei held the battle report in his hand, his hands were trembling slightly, Gao Yuan actually crossed the river and captured the whole city, which was beyond his expectation, and it was a great benefit for the Yan army news, but for him, there is nothing good to talk about. The more credit Gao Yuan makes, the more difficult it is for him to strike. Now Gao Yuan, after successfully controlling thousands of Yanjun soldiers, Compared with when he just arrived in Yuyang, his strength has risen greatly, and if he is allowed to make achievements in battle, I am afraid that he will not have any chance at all.

"It's been raining heavily for the past few days, and the weather is so bad. How can Gao Yuan be able to cross the river to fight? It's hard to tell if this good news is true or not. Our army will postpone the attack until we find out more about it!" Jiang Dawei looked around at the generals and advisers in the tent, slowly Slowly.

After procrastinating for a while, thinking that Zhao Jun lost the whole city, he would definitely counterattack with all his strength, so he asked them to kill for a while, and it would be better if Zhao Jun's counterattack killed this hateful guy, and it would be over once and for all.

"Governor, I'm afraid that Gao Yuan would not dare to lie about such a big matter?" Jiang Jiaquan stood up after being silent for a while, and said, "This cannot be hidden from anyone. If Zhao Jun loses the whole city, he will definitely send troops to Counterattack, if Gaoyuan can't hold it, then the fulcrum established on the other side of the Yishui River will be lost, and the whole city will be taken down. In fact, we have already won less than half of the battle to recover the five cities. aid, but lost the whole city, and then, I don’t know how many of our sons will die in the bitter battle!”

Jiang Dawei stared viciously at Jiang Jiaquan, this useless guy, the last time he went to Luliang Mountain with Xinliang, he made a disgraced face, and Gao Yuan slapped himself severely in front of countless Jicheng generals. In the name of the Jiang family's service for many years, he was kicked out of the gate long ago, and now he jumped out inappropriately, is this looking for death?

Jiang Jiaquan lowered his head silently. He knew that he should not speak at this time, and it was not suitable for him to speak, but this matter is related to the victory or defeat of Yan Kingdom's battle. How could he not say it? How can he feel at ease if he doesn't say it?

Zhang Wenwu looked at Jiang Dawei, Jiang Dawei's eyes were full of smoldering fire, and the eyes of his subordinates revealed their attitudes. Gao Yuan occupied the whole city, which gave the Yan army an advantage. It will allow more of Yan Guo's children to survive. Among these people, there may be their friends, their brothers, and their nephews. On the battlefield, swords and guns have no eyes, why don't they take advantage of their advantages?

"This county guard only said that we should be careful, but didn't say that we can't fight?" Jiang Dawei weighed in his mind again and again, and finally had to give in. If there was only one Jiang Jiaquan, he could completely dismiss it, but so many people were inclined to this opinion. You can't take everyone's minds away.

"Xinliang, you lead 10,000 soldiers, let's start early, everything must be careful, understand?" He glanced at Jiang Xinliang, who was sitting first on the left, and he emphasized the word "careful".

"Yes, father, I understand!" Jiang Xinliang nodded knowingly.

"Other ministries, get ready, three days later, the main force will start!" Jiang Dawei knocked on the table.

The base camp of Yuyang County began to get busy. Half a day later, Jiang Xinliang was ready to set off for the general's 10,000 vanguards. Jiang Xinliang was dressed in military uniform and his face was full of excitement. He had already understood what his father meant. This is to slow down as much as possible during the march and prolong the process. The bastard Gao Yuan, on the way from Luliang Mountain to Yuyang County, was rude and insulting to himself. Once he wanted to get it all back, thinking that Gao Yuan was desperately looking forward to the reinforcements in the whole city, and finally died with hatred in the siege of Zhao Jun, he couldn't help laughing proudly, it seemed that Gao Yuan appeared in front of him with despair. The scene where his eyes fell from the towers of the whole city.

Jiang Jiaquan walked out of his small tent, carrying a small package on his shoulders, stumbling a bit, and walked all the way to Jiang Xinliang.

"My lord!" He bowed.

"Sir, what are you going to do?" Looking at Jiang Jiaquan's attire, he clearly looked like he was about to go on a long journey, and he couldn't help but asked strangely: "This time it's a march to fight, sir, you can't help but follow me."

Jiang Jiaquan smiled bitterly, "Young Master, I am not going to follow you to the whole city, I am here to say goodbye to you."

"Sir, why are you leaving?" Jiang Xinliang asked in surprise.

"Jiang is incompetent and humiliated the young master. He almost lost his life. I really don't have the face to stay any longer!" Jiang Jiaquan shook his head and said: "Young master, take care of yourself!"

Jiang Xinliang was silent for a while. After the Luliangshan incident last time, his father didn't like Jiang Jiaquan any more, and even hated him very much. He really couldn't stay in the Jiang family anymore.

"Where are you going sir?" he asked.

Jiang Jiaquan felt a chill in his heart, and he devoted himself to Jiang Xinliang and made suggestions. Over the years, Jiang Xinliang had some power in Yuyang County independent of his father, but now, he didn't even have a word to persuade him to stay." Take a walk around, take a look, maybe go home and stay for a while. Take care, my lord!"

Clasping fists and bowing, Jiang Jiaquan walked out of the camp heavily.

"Sir, is it enough to make money?" Jiang Xinliang chased after two steps, then stopped again, "I will ask you to come back when the matter is over."

Jiang Jiaquan's heart warmed, he turned his head and looked at Jiang Xinliang, "Master has been dissatisfied with Jiang for these years, and I have a little money, so my livelihood will not be a problem, and you don't have to look for me anymore, the old man is too old to be reused." , if you stay by the young master's side, you will only miss the important matter of the young master."

"gentlemen!"

"However, before leaving, Jiang has one more thing to say, to listen to the young master, as for how to do it, it all depends on the young master's will!" Jiang Jiaquan said slowly.

"Sir please speak."

"My son, is he deliberately slowing down the journey so that Gao Yuan will be trapped in the whole city, or even die?" Jiang Jiaquan said.

"Sir!" Jiang Xinliang suddenly changed his color.

Jiang Jiaquan smiled slightly, "My lord, if I were you, I would not only not procrastinate, but I would also speed up the trip and rush to the whole city as quickly as possible to support Gao Yuan. If Gao Yuan lives, it will be of great benefit to you, my lord. .”

"Sir, what does this mean? Have you forgotten how he insulted us? I will never forget the humiliation that he carried us down from Luliang Mountain like wild boars."

"My lord, it's hard to make a big deal out of remembering a small enemy. You need to broaden your horizons. Think about what I said carefully! Who is this high and far related to, who wants him to die, who is most beneficial to him when he dies, and to you, my lord. Are you good or bad? If his life is of great benefit to the young master, then the young master will not only keep him alive, but also make him live more comfortably." Jiang Jiaquan said with a smile, turned around, Without any more nostalgia, he walked out of the gate and left.

Jiang Xinliang is good to himself, but he has already repaid him.
