Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Piao Tian Literature Henan Prefecture came out in full force, gathering a total of nearly 15,000 troops. The number was smaller than the Li Dynasty army guarding Nanding City, but both sides understood that these troops of Henan Prefecture were reinforcements from various prefectures, real soldiers.  The Li Chao army in Nanding City did not exceed five thousand regular soldiers.  This was because Zheng Zhuang stayed here specifically to protect Li Zhenzong's safety.

    Li Zhenzong's negotiation with Calder ultimately failed. Calder had only more than a thousand sailors and gunners. Although they were professional pirates and had very strong combat capabilities, the problem was that they were used to fighting in water and fighting on land was not theirs.  Strengths.  In addition, Kalder and others had no loyalty to their new master and only wanted to return to Qinghua, so Li Zhenzong had no choice.

    A few days later, Li Zhenzong received a report that a large army came from the direction of Henan Prefecture, numbering more than 10,000.  Now Li Zhenzong could no longer sit still, and immediately notified the Yulin Guards to evacuate to Ninh Binh City. Li Zhenzong was not a fool. He used a group of civilians who drove carts and moved things to fight against the regular soldiers. This was even more stupid than risking death. Only when you win can you win.  There's a ghost.

    As a result, Zhou Shixiong and Zheng Dong carefully led their troops to Nanding City, and what they saw was an empty city.  "Report to your lord, there is no one in the city. Please tell me where to go next." Ten thousand miscellaneous troops guarded the four gates of Nam Dinh City. Zhou You led the Langshan army to search the city and brought back such news.  Zhou Shixiong frowned and looked at Zheng Dong, "Palace Master Zheng, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

    Zhou Shixiong asked, of course, not whether he should occupy Nanding Mansion, but asked Zheng Dong how to write this battle report.  If it was true that they had occupied an empty city, it would not be easy for the two of them to seek benefits from Zheng Zai.  If you make up a story about fighting hard to capture the city, with so many Beppu soldiers here, sooner or later the lie will be exposed. Zhou Shixiong doesn't care about lying to Zheng Zai, but he doesn't know if Zheng Dong cares, so he asked this question.

    "This matter is left to my office. Sir Ji, just go and salvage the boat and wait until I write the battle report." Zheng Dong smiled and did not answer Ji Hongchang's question, but gave it up.

    Zhou Shixiong saw that Zheng Dong was confident and no longer bothered about the matter. He waved his hand and said, "Enter the city!"

    The war in the southern part of the North Vietnamese Dynasty began to tilt towards the North Vietnamese Dynasty. Ji Hongchang and Zheng Dong easily occupied Nam Dinh House. When they took out the artillery, they would learn from Zheng Zhuang and use artillery to break open the gate of Ninh Binh City, so that the Le Chao army would often  The feeling of being pushed.

    Zhou Shixiong personally led seven thousand troops of the Lang Son Army to the water village to fish for boats. Zheng Dong directed the coalition forces in Nam Dinh City to dig out the debris in the wells, rest and reorganize the city defenses, and pretend to stay there permanently.

    The work of fishing for artillery was very easy. Zhou Shixiong ordered people to get nearly a hundred Niu Fu, whose scientific name is Niu Fu.  Tie the inflated Niufu to the underwater artillery. When the buoyancy created by Niufu exceeds the weight of the artillery, the water ghost can easily push the artillery to the shore.  The rest is easy, just put a rope around the cannon and pull it up like a tug of war.  It only took Zhou Shixiong three days to get all 32 artillery pieces that had sunk to the bottom of the river ashore.  There were also nearly a thousand projectiles.

    Zhou Shixiong asked Zhou Er to escort the artillery back to Nanding City, leaving Lan Jinshui's thousand water ghost army and the building boat to find a way to salvage the warship.  These eight warships had a few holes in them and could be used after they were repaired. How could Zhou Shixiong abandon them?

    Back to Nanding City, Zheng Dong personally greeted him outside the city gate. Although he wanted to show that he didn't run out just for the artillery, his erratic eyes betrayed him.  "Palace Master Zheng, the artillery is at the back. If you want to see it, go and have a look." Zhou Shixiong saw that Palace Master Zheng's performance was really unbearable, so he had to tell him the specific location of the artillery to avoid getting sick.

    "Haha, forgive me, Mr. Ji, but I won't be polite." Zheng Dong did not hide his eagerness for the artillery. He picked up his robe and ran back to see the artillery he had longed for.

    Back in the city, Zhou Shixiong looked and nodded all the way. This Zheng Dong was really capable. In just a few days, he had tidied up Nanding City, saving Zhou Shixiong a lot of trouble.  It seems that this Zheng Dong can be deeply friends.

    Zhou Shixiong had just made up his mind to deepen his relationship with Zheng Dong, but the Palace Master Zheng made a request that was unacceptable to him.  "Master Ji, do you think you can give me a few more cannons? Anyway, you have thirty-two of them, so it should be no problem to give me a few more." Zheng Dong couldn't put it down for every cannon.  It wasn't because he didn't have enough strength, Zhou Er believed that he would hug him and leave.

    "Master Zheng, this request is a bit overwhelming." Zhou Shixiong had already arranged the location of the artillery, so how could he agree to Zheng Dong's unreasonable request.

    Zheng Dong replied confidently, "Sir Ji, if you occupy Nanding Mansion, you can get some benefits from Zheng Zai at most. After all, Nanding Mansion must be handed over, but there is an ownerless land. If  Master Ji has occupied that mansion, and no one can ask him to hand it over." Zheng Dong didn't talk about artillery, but Zhou Shixiong was stunned when he suddenly mentioned this topic.  "Master Zheng, please tell me directly."

    "The master of Heping Mansion, Zheng Guan, has always been rebellious. If your Excellency takes over,Heping Mansion, Zheng Zai and Ruan Phuc have no excuse to force you to hand it over. Even if they want to do so, they can't do anything with their nephew Zheng Lisheng speaking for you.  "Zhou Shixiong understood. Zheng Dong was exchanging painted cakes for artillery. What a white wolf with empty gloves.

    "Palace Master Zheng, Hongchang doesn't have many troops. How can he seize Huiping Mansion from tens of thousands of Li Chao troops? Palace Master Zheng is joking." Zhou Shixiong has seen too many tricks like karate and wants to fool him away with a few words.  Artillery, no way.

    Ji Hongchang saw through his trick, but Zheng Dong was not discouraged and took out an official document with a smile.  Zhou Shixiong opened it and saw that it was a military report sent by Taiyuan Prefecture and Beijiang Prefecture. A total of 22,000 troops from the two prefectures were about to arrive in Henan Prefecture. He hoped that Zheng Dong would prepare military camps and food in advance.

    "What do you mean, Master Zheng?" Zhou Shixiong didn't understand what Zheng Dong wanted to express after reading the military newspaper.

    "I have heard a little bit about Master Ji's alliance with Taiyuan and Beijiang Prefectures. With the help of soldiers from these two prefectures, it will be easy for Master Ji to take over Heping Prefecture." Zheng Dong revealed his trump card, thinking that Zhou Shixiong was sure  will agree to his request.

    "Master Zheng's words are wrong. Even if our three mansions join forces to capture Heping Mansion, Heping Mansion does not belong to Hongchang. Hongchang has no intention of co-ruling the same mansion with others." Zhou Shixiong owns one-third of an acre of land.  It hasn't been taken care of yet, and I don't want to bother with another mansion, and I'm not interested in Zheng Dong's idea.

    "Master Ji, Zheng Lisheng only needs your support. He will definitely not compete with you for Heping Mansion. As for Fan Ganji of Taiyuan Mansion, he does not dare to divide his strength before solving the Ruan Fu family. This Heping Mansion  The mansion must belong to Master Ji." Zheng Dong's analysis is very reasonable, but Zhou Shixiong doesn't want this Heping mansion, so of course he won't be convinced.

    "Master Zheng, there is no need to say more. Hongchang has no intention of taking over another mansion." Zhou Shixiong's resolute attitude made Zheng Dong understand that his plan had failed, and he could only leave the mansion with a sigh and go to the warehouse to admire the artillery for a while.

    Three days later, soldiers from Taiyuan Prefecture and Beijiang Prefecture, who had received the battle report, rushed to Nanding City under the leadership of Fan Gandhi, the leader of Taiyuan Prefecture.  Zhou Shixiong and Zheng Dong went out of the city to greet them. Fan Ganji was so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear when he saw that the two people had really occupied Nanding City.

    He led his army to set off earlier than Zhou Shixiong left Lang Son, but Van Gandhi did not have the confidence to use this small force to storm Nam Dinh City, which had artillery support. He dragged his feet along the way, hoping that he would not reach the place in a hundred years.  .  Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived in Henan Prefecture, they received a battle report saying that Nam Dinh City had been captured by the coalition forces from Lang Son Prefecture, Henan Prefecture and other provinces. They immediately accelerated their march and came to see if it was true or not.

    "If I had known that Hongchang was coming, I would have nothing to worry about." Fan Gandi was very impressed by Ji Hongchang. If nothing else, he couldn't compare to this young man when marching and fighting.

    "Mr. Fan has given me the award, but Hongchang just happened to meet him at the right time." Zhou Shixiong knew that he would be struck by lightning if he pretended to be cool, but he still had to pretend, otherwise people would say that young people do not understand the virtue of humility.

    When the guests and the host came to the government office and sat down, Zhou Shixiong briefly introduced the process of capturing Nanding City. Of course, it was not a fabricated content in the victory report written by Zheng Dong.  What about a three-day and three-night battle in which countless enemies were killed, etc., are purely literary creations.

    "I thank you, Mr. Hongchang Gaoyi." Zhou Shixiong mentioned that he was going to send a few artillery pieces to his allies. Fan Gandhi's expression was very exciting.  While listening to Ji Hongchang's story, he secretly regretted it. He didn't expect that Nanding City would fall into Ji Hongchang's hands so easily. If he had known that if he came boldly, all this would be his!  When Ji Hongchang was feeling envious and jealous, he said that he would give him a few artillery pieces for free, and Van Gandhi's expression naturally changed.

    "Master Fan, there is no need to be like this. Since our two houses are allies, we should help each other." Zhou Shixiong is not a mind reader and can't understand why Fan Ganji's expression is so wonderful. Zheng Dong on the side guessed something and sneered a few times.  Voice.

    Zhou Shixiong would certainly not give such a big gift in vain.  He immediately proposed the idea of ??attacking Ninh Binh City. Under Zheng Dong's strange gaze, Fan Ganji willingly gave up his command and handed over his 20,000-strong army to Zhou Shixiong for unified command.

    Of course, Van Gandan was willing to do this not only to repay the favor, but also because he believed in Ji Hongchang's ability. It was also because Ji Hongchang had thirty-two cannons in his hands. With these cannons, little Ning  Pingcheng is not a problem at all.

    "The two palace masters just sit in Nanding City and wait for the good news from Hongchang." Three days later, Zhou Shixiong led the integrated army of 30,000 people and marched towards Ningping City with all the artillery.  He promised to send artillery to Zheng Dong and Fan Ganji, but did not say that he would send it now, and they were too embarrassed to urge him to transfer their accounts immediately.

    Nam Dinh Prefecture dispatched a large army to attack Ninh Binh City. Le Shen Zong, who was in Ninh Binh City, received the news early. When he learned that there were 32 artillery pieces in the North Vietnamese army, Le Shen Zong calmly issued an order, "All troops withdraw!  "
