One Thousand One Hundred and Eighty-Four: Fa Xu Pei, the First Princes to Kill (54)

Yang Tao's joining poured a pot of hot oil on the originally calm battle situation.

Huang Song and Xu Pei were worried, while Jiang Pengji let out a long sigh of relief.

"With Yang Tao's support, winning Zhejiang County should not be a problem."

Jiang Pengji had ordered Cheng Yuan to contain the troops of Zhejiang County early in the morning, and the two sides had been confronting each other for half a month.

Yang Si smiled and said, "Although this is the case, if Yang Tao changes his mind temporarily, it will be hard to say."

Jiang Pengji said, "Others may, but Yang Tao is unlikely."

Yang Si said, "What if Xu Pei took the initiative to sacrifice Zhao Shao to appease Yang Tao's resentment in order to protect himself?"

Half of Zhangzhou has been taken back, and if Zhao Shao is killed, Yang Tao will be considered revenge for killing his father.

As long as Xu Pei endured the pain and cut some flesh to appease Yang Tao, he might be able to send Yang Tao away.

"Xu Pei has a very fatal advantage. He is shameless." Jiang Pengji sneered coldly, "Zhao Shao is a nobleman who took the initiative to join him. Even if he murdered Yang Jian, he did not harm Xu Pei's interests. Xu Pei If you push him out to take the place of a dead ghost for the sake of profit...not to mention, Xu Pei's good reputation of 20 to 30 years of business will be ruined. After this, which gentry would dare to take refuge in him?"

Xu Pei was originally from a noble family, and his ancestors had a high reputation. These are his political capital, and also his burden.

There is a kind of burden called swollen face to pretend to be fat. Xu Pei knew that Zhao Shao was a hot potato, so he would not let Zhao Shao be a dead ghost.

Yang Si smiled and said, "My lord knows Lord Xin Zhao quite well."

"He has a complicated heart, but he is a simple person." Jiang Pengji said, "There should be good news from Gongliao."

Jiang Pengji placed high hopes on Cheng Yuan, and the latter also lived up to her expectations.

This guy Cheng Yuan is also skinny. In the past half month, he has been quite satisfactory. He has not made any mistakes but has no bright spots. The machine weakens the vigilance of the enemy.

If it were on the ordinary protagonist, Cheng Yuan's plan hadn't made any progress in half a month, and he would have been dissatisfied long ago, but Jiang Pengji let him do it. In order to support Cheng Yuan's plan, Jiang Pengji also asked Qin Gong, who was born in Zhejiang County, to lead troops to support Cheng Yuan.

Sure enough, the governor of Zhejiang County became more and more proud, and he could float in place every day he walked.

At this moment, news of Zhangzhou's defeat came from outside.

The general of Zhejiang County saw that the morale of the soldiers under his tent was sluggish, and he felt that a big victory was urgently needed to revive morale.

If he can win a big victory and capture the leader of the enemy army, he will definitely be appreciated by the lord, and his status and rights will be further improved.

Cheng Yuan narrowed his eyes and said, "The heat is almost here."

Qin Gong is a native of Zhejiang County. He knows the surrounding terrain very well and provided Cheng Yuan with a lot of convenience.

Once again, troops were sent out to call for battle, and the two sides fought in a dim light. Cheng Yuan's side was still invincible, and after a while, it showed signs of decline.

There is a saying that "the poor should not chase after", but Cheng Yuan's repeated small defeats these days fueled the arrogance of the defending generals.

When someone dissuaded him from chasing poor bandits, the guard said angrily, "Poor bandits, poor bandits, this is the same sentence every time they come and go. It's nothing more than talking on paper. We have already tested the strength of the willow bandits. How can there be outsiders?" The news is so terrifying? They have few troops, if they don’t catch up and kill them all now, are they going to watch them escape? The army, follow this general!”

"But... but the place where the willow bandit troops retreated was very tall, with tall trees and dense forests. It was a good place to set up an ambush, and you must not chase after it. It would be better to misplace one, than..." Before the man finished speaking, the guard waited. The general has already patted the horse and ran a long way.

It's not because no one listened to what he said, it's because Cheng Yuan played several times in the past, and he has already worn down the guard's vigilance.

The guard led the troops to rush to kill, grabbed the remnant soldiers and beat them fiercely, it seemed a bit overwhelming, they won consecutive victories, and their momentum was high-pitched.

However, he was not happy for too long, before the smile on his face could subside, countless arrows were shot from the dense forest on both sides.

The enemy's flag was hoisted,

Enemies popped up one by one, screaming loudly.

"Is there an ambush?"

The guard's heart trembled, and his hand holding the rein suddenly exerted force, causing the horse under his crotch to growl restlessly.

They were about to retreat, but Cheng Yuan had already blocked the way ahead, giving them a catch.

"Since you're here, don't leave."

Cheng Yuan let out a long sigh of relief. The pressure has been too great recently, even if it was deliberately showing weakness to the enemy, it also affected his own momentum. As a planner, he bears a lot of pressure. Seeing the enemy falling into the trap, he felt that the grievances of the past half month had all disappeared.

Arrows, rolling logs, hot oil all greeted the enemy.

That guard is not Yang Si, and the soldiers under him are not the elite Jiang Pengji has trained carefully for several years. When encountering an ambush, they have lost their sense of proportion. The army is in chaos, how can it be possible to maintain order and prevent the enemy from retreating? The more chaotic they are, the more serious the casualties.

In less than half an hour, blood flowed here like a river, and broken limbs and wreckage were everywhere, just like Shura Prison.

The flames rose, and there was a strange smell in the air.

As time went by, the killing shouts gradually became more and more subdued.

As early as when they fell into an ambush, Cheng Yuan divided his troops to attack the city gate on the border of Zhejiang County.

If this city is broken, Zhejiang County will be considered without natural protection, and Cheng Yuan can take advantage of the water conservancy in Zhejiang County to march straight in. Although there are important military towns along the road, most of the troops were transferred to Shanghai County by Xu Pei. As long as Cheng Yuan is not out of his mind, he will never lose.

Seeing that the Zhe County defense line was about to collapse, Xu Pei and the others were also anxious in their hearts.

He tried to increase his troops to help, but there was still a killing god-Jiang Pengji blocking the road.

Xu Pei simply abandoned Han Yu's strategy, and directly used his troops to fight Jiang Pengji in the biggest fierce battle since the beginning of the war. Naturally, the more anxious the more unfavorable it became. Without the constraints of the terrain, Jiang Pengji's cavalry would have fun and ravage the enemy?

The cavalry in Northern Xinjiang was so strong, didn't Jiang Pengji think of a way to overthrow them in the end?

A mere Xu Pei, would she be afraid?

If Huang Song hadn't increased his troops halfway to help Xu Pei stabilize his situation, his loss would have been even greater.

At the same time, the envoys sent by Xu Pei also met Yang Tao, and "deduced" from him the reason for his alliance with Jiang Pengji.

To tell the truth, Yang Tao didn't want to get involved in Dongqing's situation at first, he just wanted to develop quietly and let those gods fight among themselves.

Who made Xu Pei accept Zhao Shao's refuge?

"The revenge of killing one's father is not shared, how can one allow the enemy to go unpunished?" Yang Tao's voice was calm, his mature face was filled with the majesty of a superior, "the envoy need not say much, Tao will definitely personally kill the villain Zhao Shao, as a comfort The spirit of the old father is in the sky."

The messenger choked.

Yang Tao said so decisively, and he couldn't make the decision for Xu Pei to abandon Zhao Shao——
