Zheng Zai had been punished by Zheng Zai for his drunkenness before, and this time his inexplicable defeat and capture was caused by drinking. Zheng Zai had lost patience with Hu Hao. Hu Hao also felt that his brother-in-law was really angry, and he was too scared to ask for mercy.
Fan Gandi raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty, calm down. General Hu's defeat was not caused by war. It was Zheng Dong and Ji Hongchang who deceived General Hu and plotted against Hedong City in the name of rewarding the army. How can General Hu treat others with sincerity? It is reasonable for a cunning villain's opponent to fall into the trap. Please make a clear decision, Your Majesty." Fan Gan defended Hu Hao righteously, as if he was not among the people who plotted against Hedong City. []
Hu Hao looked at the old guy next to him and was dumbfounded. He couldn't figure out why Van Gandhi wanted to speak for him, and he couldn't figure out why this old guy was the one who drank to him that night. Why did he say it as if nothing happened to him?
"Humph, why are you still standing there? If Palace Master Fan hadn't put in a good word for you, your head would have been moved!" Zheng Zai spoke harshly to Hu Hao, but he felt like a mirror in his heart. Van Gandhi is not a person who understands righteousness. He does this just to please himself. He knows that he will not punish Hu Hao severely, and there is no pressure to be a smooth favor.
Hu Hao didn't dare to fight with his brother-in-law, so he said in a sullen voice, "Thank you, Palace Master Fan."
"General Hu, I'm offended." Fan Gandi returned the favor with a smile on his face. He had already made his stance clear. It was up to him to see if Zheng Zai had enough courage.
"As the master of Taiyuan Palace, Master Fan should entertain me as a guest?" Zheng Zai was in a good mood after confirming that his direct troops had suffered no losses. As for Van Gandhi's defection, it was just a small matter, the icing on the cake.
Shenglong Mansion launched a massive campaign against Taiyuan Mansion, but the outcome was puzzling. Van Gandhi returned 20,000 prisoners of war, and handed over the Xuanguang Mansion that had lost its owner to Zheng Zai. What was surprising was that Zheng Zai actually sealed the Heping Mansion to Fan Gandhi, and Ji Hongchang, who held the open fire, Seize the fruits of victory in your hands. You know, this time the North Vietnam Dynasty was able to repel the invasion of the Li Dynasty. Ji Hongchang's contribution was great enough to be granted a title. As the first heir to the North Vietnam Dynasty, wouldn't Zheng Zai be afraid of being criticized for doing so?
"What does he have to be afraid of? Now that Zheng Zai has been defeated and foreign aggression has been eliminated, and Zheng Lisheng has died down and there is no internal strife, Zheng Zai's accession to the throne is a certainty. How could he not suppress disobedient people at this time?" In the Li family In the study room of the villa, Guan Chongguang spent his free time analyzing to Zhou Shixiong. Guan Chongguang came here to bring bad news to Zhou Shixiong. The Guangxi governor's office issued an official letter, ordering Guan Chongguang to go to Guilin Mansion to report on his work. Regardless of whether he was promoted or demoted, Pingxiangzhou would have a new owner. .
"Cheng Peng, how should I respond?" After being openly robbed, Zhou Shixiong's Qi-nurturing skills have not reached the level of indifference, but it is not shameful enough to imitate Wei Guangzheng's set of protests, strong protests, and solemn protests from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. of. As for the option of raising troops to attack Shenglong Mansion, it is still gray and cannot be selected.
"Your Excellency has resisted foreign aggression for the Northern and Southern Dynasties. No one can take away this credit. Zheng Zai's actions will definitely arouse the backlash from others, but the premise is your Lordship's choice. If Your Excellency resists forcefully, other Palace Masters will definitely support Your Excellency. If Your Majesty just yelled twice and then stopped, so others can't say much." Guan Chongguang didn't explicitly say that Zhou Shixiong should raise troops to rebel, but that was what he meant.
"The timing is wrong. Lang Son Prefecture only has more than 20,000 soldiers. Even if you include the more than 10,000 new soldiers in Pingxiangzhou, the number is less than 40,000. It is obviously not enough to resist the Zheng family. How can you be so strong?" Zhou Shixiong said. It's nonsense. How could Guan Chongguang not know the details of Lang Son House? "Sir, there are many ways to resist. For example, send troops to attack Taiyuan Palace to let Fan Gandhi know the price of breaking the alliance. Or directly attack Thang Long Palace to let Zheng Zai understand that Lang Son Palace is not a soft persimmon."
"If you want to attack Thang Long Palace, you must use all your strength. How can Fan Ganji sit back and watch the empty Lang Son Palace without reacting?" Zhou Shixiong rejected the option of attacking Thang Long Palace, which was equivalent to accepting Guan Chongguang's suggestion and taking action against Taiyuan Palace.
"What your lord said is that let Fan Ganji taste the power of Lang Son Prefecture's soldiers." Not long after Zhou Shixiong returned to Lang Son Prefecture, he issued another notice, ordering all the soldiers and horses in the mansion to gather towards Lang Son City.
"Master Zheng, have a nice journey." Knowing that Ji Hongchang wanted to take revenge on Van Gandhi, Zheng Dong said goodbye to Ji Hongchang. He planned to persuade some palace masters who had objections to Zheng Zai to support Lang Son Palace and help Ji Hongchang relieve the pressure. . Zhou Shixiong personally sent Zheng Dong to Youlong Town to give him face.
"Master Ji, stay here. I won't say anything more. Please take care of yourself, Master Ji." Zheng Dong got on his horse and left Lang Son Palace under the escort of the guards.
"Sir, it's time for us to set off." It wasn't until the shadows of Zheng Dong's team disappeared into the distance that Guan Chongguang opened his mouth to remind Zhou Shixiong. Wang Zunde, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, wanted to take Pingxiang Prefecture, but Zhou Shixiong was unable to resist, so he simply asked Guan Chongguang to resign and return to help manage Lang Son Prefecture. Guan Chongguang is also an outstanding person. Even if he resigns as governor of Pingxiangzhou,??, and also moved the entire Yamen to Lang Son House, leaving an empty house for the new magistrate. I am afraid that the unlucky governor who is about to take office will vomit several kilograms of blood to express his dissatisfaction.
"Please leave it to me to attack Taiyuan Prefecture this time. When I return to Lang Son City, I will do my best to build the chariot. I will make sure nothing is missed." Guan Chongguang encouraged Zhou Shixiong to attack Taiyuan Prefecture. The biggest reliance was the chariot. After more than a year, Through tests and trials, the tank has been proven to be fully in line with the effectiveness of super combat weapons. At this stage, no light weapons can fight against the tank.
The only problem is that the chariot battalion currently only has a hundred chariots and cannot form an absolute advantage in large-scale wars. Therefore, Zhou Shixiong entrusted the battle to attack Taiyuan Mansion to Guan Chongguang, and he was responsible for the task of supervising the work and improving the chariots as soon as possible. quantity. Fortunately, Jia Ao, the manager of the chariot battalion, has already trained a group of qualified chariot soldiers. Otherwise, it would be ridiculous for Zhou Shixiong to produce a large number of chariots but no one can use them.
No one expected that the young head of Lang Son Palace would be so tough. You must know that Lang Son Palace was at the bottom among the eighteen palaces of the Vietnamese and Northern Dynasties in terms of financial resources and military strength. The ability to capture Beizhu Mansion in the past relied on surprise, and the capture of Xuanguang City relied on the combination of vertical and horizontal lines. However, the shining glory in this North-South War relied on tactical ingenuity and luck. This point of view is almost the most kind-hearted judgment on Lang Son Palace, and no one who is mean will look at it this way.
This is why Zheng Zai dared to openly slap Lang Son Mansion in the mouth. He was not afraid of trouble in Lang Son Mansion at all. How much trouble could he make with this little strength! Therefore, the news that Lang Son Palace was gathering troops with unknown intentions was sent to Thang Long Palace. Zheng Zai tore up the detective report after reading it. His opinion was that it was "a bluff."
Fan Gandhi also saw it this way, but his reaction was much more serious than Zheng Zai's. Fan Gandhi knew that the Lang Son Army had dozens of cannons. If Ji Hongchang used these cannons to attack the city, Fan Gandhi would also have a headache. In order to prevent the Lang Son Army from attacking Taiyuan Prefecture, Fangan Gandi stationed heavy troops in Pingge City, which borders the two prefectures. Pingge City is located due east of Taiyuan Prefecture, and the official road connecting the two prefectures passes through the city. The main purpose of Van Gandhi sending troops to garrison in Binh Ghat was to strangle this official road and prevent the Lang Son army from entering through the official road.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with Van Gandhi's approach. He should think highly of Lang Son Prefecture. Unfortunately, the facts are confusing. When Guan Chongguang led an army of 10,000 and twenty artillery pieces to the city, the Taiyuan Prefecture soldiers who defended the city were Know what elites are. According to the practice of the Vietnamese and Northern Dynasties, soldiers equipped with iron weapons and armor are elite soldiers. Ordinary soldiers only have a long gun and leather armor, and the difference is no more than a mile.
The equipment of the Lang Son Army is really powerful. All the soldiers wear uniform steel armor, and the steel swords in their hands are cold and gleaming. Not to mention the lower-level soldiers of Taiyuan Prefecture have objections to this kind of treatment, even high-ranking generals Can't afford it either. Many soldiers in Taiyuan Prefecture have seen the Lang Son Army and know how powerful the Lang Son Army is. However, the number of the Lang Son Army is too small. Although it is well-equipped, it cannot compare with the established forces of Vietnam and North Korea. This is a recognized fact.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUTOUT Unexpectedly, Lang Son Prefecture was serious about it, and the Lang Son Army actually appeared in Taiyuan Prefecture.
The general of Taiyuan Prefecture guarding Pingge City was Fan Huisheng, who made a principled mistake. His position as commander of the Taiyuan Prefecture soldiers was taken away by Fan Xitong, and he was kicked to Pingge City by Fan Gandi to serve as the commander-in-chief of guarding the border. Although the military strength of the commanders is not much different, their status is very different.
During the time he came to Pingge City, Fan Huisheng changed his usual diligent and severe style and had banquets and fun at the city lord's mansion almost every day. In this way, he vented his dissatisfaction to Fan Ganji. Fan Huisheng thought that Zheng Zai's attack on Taiyuan City in the first battle was unreasonable. The crime of war, even if the people in the city did not drag down the soldiers defending the city, how could the more than 10,000 soldiers resist the attack of an army of 50,000, and no one would be able to redeem themselves as the commander-in-chief. Therefore, Fan Huisheng was very dissatisfied with Fan Gandhi's move to demote him.
"Report, General, the Lang Son Army is provoking a battle below the city." Although Fan Huisheng has been snatched away from the position of General, his soldiers did not dare to call him his new official position, for fear of angering Fan Huisheng and suffering a loss, but they did not know how to do so. This made Fan Huisheng even more angry.
"Lang Son Army? How dare they come!" Fan Huisheng was drinking a glass of wine with a woman in his arms. He was a little overwhelmed when he heard the report.
"Please give the general's order to defend the enemy." The person who came to report was Fan Huisheng's personal soldiers. It took him a long time to come up with this sentence. He didn't know why the Langshan army dared to attack Taiyuan Prefecture.
"Well, to defend against the enemy, all the generals will listen to the order and go into battle with someone." Fan Huisheng was half drunk and sober. He was not completely drunk to the point of unconsciousness, so he could at least give orders in person. When the generals helped him to the top of the city, Fan Huisheng wiped his eyes vigorously to confirm that the army he saw in front of him was not an illusion. He suddenly broke out in sweat and finally woke up from his drink.
