Chapter 157 Tang Heping Stops Chen Deng
After conquering Tangyi County, Master Shang left Jiao Zan to garrison, and then launched an attack on Yuguo.Yuguo and Guangling are only forty miles away, and they can support each other with Guangling.
Although Master Shang and his disciples had sent troops to surround Yuguo, Guangling and Jiangdu, it was only a siege.It was just that the heavily armed professional soldiers were more powerful than the common people and private soldiers, and they blocked the people of the three counties in the city.
As soon as the army of Master Shang and his disciples arrived, they immediately started harvesting the grain of Yuguo, and he wanted to repeat the old trick.
After he said what he said in Tangyi County, the same riot did not occur in the city.After thinking for a long time, he finally understood that the reason why Yuguo is called the country is because it is the fiefdom of Yuwang.Although this King Yu is only a county king, he is still the king of the Han family, and his surname is Liu.These princes usually don't show their mountains and dews, but they have a high prestige on their three-acre land.
These countries are their little kingdoms, and they have the final say.Everyone living in the country is also his, and he can support everyone.These kings are very rich. For example, why is Haihun so rich that Liu Xun crossed the Lujiang River to attack?Because Haihun has a kingdom, even though it has been abolished, the wealth of Haihun is already coveted.
Although the Kingdom of Yu is not as rich as Haihun, in this kingdom that has been in operation for many years, it is still no problem for King Yu to feed the people in the city for a year.
After thinking about this, Master Shang and his disciples stopped wasting time in Yuguo. He left behind people to continue to besiege Yuguo, and then moved to Guangling County.
After Tang He received the order, he immediately went north to Ping'an County, but when he just entered Ping'an County, he received the news of visiting horses. Chen Deng had already led 5000 people to Ping'an County.
Tang He knew that he couldn't go any further, so he quickly found a place to defend, set up the camp first, and then took a rest.
In fact, Chen Deng had already received the military report ten days ago, but it was a pity that he could not gather too many soldiers in a short time because the grain had not been harvested yet.These 5000 people are still composed of the garrison of Sheyang who he transferred from his family's private soldiers.It can be said that these 5000 people are basically all the capital of his Chen family. If they are gone, they will have nothing.
Chen Deng didn't feel very well these few days, he always felt a stomach ache, but at this difficult time, he still forcibly held back.
He also saw a doctor, but the doctor didn't see what the disease was, but told him to drink more hot water.He didn't understand why he had to drink more hot water, but the doctor said it was a method passed down from Shouchun. It is said that hot water can warm the inner abdomen, and drinking more hot water can prevent many diseases.Anyway, drinking more hot water is always good, at least there is no harm.
Chen Deng was noncommittal to this statement, but he followed the doctor's advice and drank more hot water.To be honest, it is still very effective, and he feels a lot less stomachache.When he arrived in Ping'an County, his first order was to have hot water prepared for him. Even though his mouth was still burning, he drank it.
Breaking out in a sweat, Chen Deng once again took out the latest military reports. He couldn't help but feel dizzy when he saw these military reports.
The situation was too corrupt. Chen Deng had already sent a letter to the Xuzhou Governor's Department asking for help before he set off, but he could not guarantee that the Governor's Department would send him reinforcements.Zang Ba, Prime Minister of Langya, was confronting Yuan Tan in Qingzhou. Yuan Tan gathered all the troops in Qingzhou, and most of the troops of the Xuzhou Governor's Department were supporting Zang Ba. Only Xiapi Prime Minister Zhang Zhao was stationed in the south. The south side was fortified, and he couldn't do it if he wanted to support him, because Zhang Zhao had no soldiers to send.
Dongyang County, Gaoyou County, Tangyi County, Yuguo, Guangling County, and Jiangdu County all have enemies. It seems that they came here this time to attack aggressively!Chen Deng couldn't help but be thankful for his foresight. If he was still in Guangling County, maybe Zhang Yi would directly conquer Guangling County, and other counties would basically be determined.
Chen Deng stayed in Ping'an County for a day, ordered the Ping'an Order to strictly guard it, and then led his troops to Gaoyou County.Just after walking more than ten miles, Chen Deng received a military report and found the enemy's camp in the west!
Chen Deng looked to the west in shock. That was the direction of Dongyang County. Has the enemy captured Dongyang County?He immediately asked Tan Ma to go to Dongyang County to investigate, and chose to stay where he was.He didn't dare to continue to Gaoyou. If Dongyang County fell, the enemy should be able to conquer Ping'an County, and they could attack Sheyang after taking Ping'an County.
Sheyang is his lair. If Sheyang is attacked, his soldiers will have no fighting spirit and will only want to go home, and their morale will be lost.At that time, it can basically be defeated with one blow.
Chen Deng has not fought many battles, but he has read many books.He is not a nerd, but a scholar who applies what he has learned. Such a scholar is terrible.
A day later, the scouts sent by Chen Deng reported that Dongyang County had fallen and was occupied by the Yangzhou Army.And the horse explorer probably found that there were about 3000 enemy troops in Dongyang, and about [-] people in the camp to the west.Such an enemy is not invincible, but he must know who the enemy's master is.
Soup flag!Chen Deng was puzzled. He didn't seem to have heard that Zhang Yi had a general surnamed Tang.The general below said that the county captain of Zhongli seemed to be named Tang. Did Zhang Yi actually send a county captain over?
Just when Chen Deng was puzzled, Tang He began to take action. He brought 1000 people to the vicinity of Chen Deng's camp, conducted a survey of Chen Deng's camp, and looked for favorable terrain around it. Fight Chen Deng here.
After Chen Deng saw it, he immediately sent people out of the camp to attack, trying to drive Tang He away.Tang He didn't fight them either, and withdrew with his men.But after Chen Deng's men returned to the camp, Tang He returned with his men and continued to observe the vicinity of Chen Deng's camp.
Chen Deng sneered, it's a strategy for exhausting soldiers!
Chen Deng had dealt with Tang He for two days, so he didn't plan to take care of it anymore.The one in the south still needs him to rescue, he can't spend time here with Tang He.
He decided to continue south to rescue Gaoyou.As a result, Tang He and his men surrounded Ping'an County within ten miles after the camp was pulled out.And also specially let the rescuers go out, let them ask Chen Deng for help.
Chen Deng was in a dilemma. If he went back to rescue, he would be dragged back by the enemy.If you don't go back to rescue, you are afraid of being breached by the enemy.
However, Tang He had already made a choice for him. Before Tang He set off, he sent a military report to Zhu Zhi, asking Zhu Zhi to send someone to intercept Chen Deng on his way south.Zhu Zhi sent Lu Meng with 2000 people to block Chen Deng.
Chen Deng weighed it up, whether to break through the enemy's siege and continue southward or withdraw his troops to Ping'an County, Chen Deng chose the latter, because it would take time to pass through the blockade, and it is easy to be unable to take care of both sides, it is better to just focus on one end!
