Chapter 727: Soldiers Approaching the City 1 Kong Sheng ordered the whole army to repair in Xuzhou for one day.
On this day, he closed his door and didn't see anyone, including Su Wan, Gu Yun and Nie Chuchen.
Despite this, the morale of the coalition army has gradually risen because of the spread of the name of the Tang God of War in the army.
Even Kong Sheng himself didn't realize that after yesterday's battle, he was already equivalent to a god-like existence in the hearts of all the soldiers, and he was worshiped by the 50,000 coalition troops, at least spiritually he had been sent to the sacred altar.
Visiting Malay reported that Luo Yue led three or four thousand remnants of the defeated army to evacuate from Qishui City and retreated in the direction of Bianzhou, preparing to join Shi Chaoyi's Fan Yang army stationed in Bianzhou.
Since Qishui City was already an empty city, the gate to Guanluo of the coalition army had been completely opened, but unexpectedly, in the early morning of the third day, Kong Sheng issued an order to bypass Qishui City and march all the way east towards Bianzhou.
Everyone was suspicious, but no one dared to question Kong Sheng's military orders.
Probably only Yang Tong understood Kong Sheng's strategic intentions.
Bianzhou is the barrier and gateway to the east of Luoyang, and it is also an important pass linking Henan and Hedong.
Shi Chaoyi hoarded heavy troops in Bianzhou, not only to prevent Guo Ziyi's Xuzhou army from attacking, but also to protect his rear line of Fanyang in Hedong.
Kong Sheng thought twice and decided to postpone the attack on Luoyang.
Luoyang is the "capital" of Shi Chaoyi, heavily guarded, and Luoyang City is highly defended, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
If Bianzhou cannot be taken, there is no great point in attacking Luoyang, but once the Bianzhou army turns around and copies Kong Sheng's back road, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Because even if Luoyang is taken, Shi Chaoyi can calmly retreat to Bianzhou and establish another national capital in Bianzhou.
Bianzhou will soon replace Luoyang and become the central base of Fan Yang's army in Henan.
Therefore, Bianzhou must be taken, otherwise there is no point in conquering Luoyang alone.
Kong Sheng judged that with the strength of Guo Ziyi's army, especially in the context of the new defeat of the Tang army, it would be difficult to conquer Bianzhou.
In order to complete the emperor's edict, Guo Ziyi must be in a hurry to march to Luoyang, which gives Fan Yangjun an opportunity to take advantage of.
If one is not good, the Tang army will be a fiasco.
In this sense, Kong Sheng temporarily decided to reinforce Bianzhou.
Even if his troops and horses arrive at the periphery of Bianzhou and do not cooperate with Guo Ziyi to attack the city, it will put great psychological pressure on the defenders of Bianzhou.
This is a great support for Guo Ziyi.
And Li Guangbi and Kong Sheng on the northern line analyzed it in combination with many news from Tanma, and I am afraid that they will not be able to count on it for the time being.
Li Guangbi's army and horses have just faced a big defeat, and their morale is low, not to mention, they have now been pinned down by Fan Yang's soldiers and horses on the front line of Xiangzhou, and it is quite difficult to move forward.
The situation conceived by the emperor that the three-way army guards the horns and echoes each other is actually difficult to achieve.
Two days later.
Bianzhou South Line.
Guo Ziyi's camp.
Guo Ziyi paced back and forth in his handsome tent, looking anxious.
As Kong Shengzhi guessed, he was in a hurry to take Bianzhou and then attack Luoyang, but both sieges suffered heavy losses, at least five or six thousand casualties.
The city defense of Bianzhou is strong, and the defenders in the city have been prepared for a long time, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Guo Ziyi fell into an embarrassing dilemma.
Forcibly attacking the city will increase the casualties.
And if it can't be attacked for a long time, it will also damage morale.
But if he can't take Bianzhou for a long time, he can't explain it to the emperor.
At this time, he urgently needs a big victory to wash away the stigma of the previous defeat.
A general with a beard, a broad face, eyes and sunken eye sockets, with the appearance of a Hu person, hurriedly walked into the tent, bowed and said: "Marshal, Jiangning County Wang Kongsheng led the Jiangnan and Shannan coalition troops to bypass Luoshui and have arrived at the periphery of Bianzhou, less than thirty miles away from our army's camp."
"Kong Sheng" Guo Ziyi frowned, stunned: "General Fugu, the king of Kong Jun is not ordered by the emperor to go north from Xuzhou to attack Luoyang, how can he be so dignified and detour to Bianzhou" This person is Guo Ziyi's confidant and favorite general, and he is also the deputy general who has followed him for a long time to quell the rebellion.
Fugu Huaien is a member of the Tiele tribe and the hereditary governor of Jinwei.
The Fugu family is one of the nine surnames of Tiele, and Fugu Huaien is the grandson of the leader of Fugu.
Fugu Huaien smiled and said: "Marshal, the last general doesn't know why King Kong Jun detoured Bianzhou, but General Xuanwei, the envoy of King Kong County, is waiting outside the tent to meet the marshal."
Fugu Huai En said: Then why did Kong Sheng lead the army around Qishui City and run to Bianzhou, fools can figure it out, Lao Guo, you don't understand Guo Ziyi sighed, but did not immediately agree to summon Kong Sheng's envoy.
He couldn't understand why Kong Sheng suddenly detoured to Bianzhou, could it be that Kong Sheng was afraid of the war and tried to come to Bianzhou to find himself as a protective umbrella Most of Guo Ziyi's generals looked disdainful.
Although Kong Sheng is famous, Guo Ziyi's generals are not familiar with Kong Sheng, and when Kong Sheng was calling for wind and rain in Chang'an, Guo Ziyi and others were still fighting against Fan Yang's army on the frontal battlefield.
As for when Kong Sheng fought against An Lushan's subordinate generals on the battlefield in Henan, Guo Ziyi and others were still defending the emperor in Lingwu, and they didn't believe much about the rumors of Kong Sheng's deeds of sweeping the rebels in Henan and recovering the eastern capital Luoyang.

Therefore, in the eyes of the generals under Guo Ziyi, Kong Sheng is actually a young man who is good at speculating and drilling camps because of chance to please the emperor, and his literary talent may be praised, but to say that this person is brave and crowned with the three armies and is known as the first fierce general of the Tang Dynasty, none of the generals of Guo Ziyi's faction are convinced.
There is no first, there is no second, and without testing and witnessing, how can these fierce generals at that time be convinced Guo Ziyi's eldest son, Guo Yao, came out of class and smiled lightly: "Father, this matter is actually not difficult to understand.
I heard that Luo Yue, the first fierce general of Fan Yang under the command of Shi Chaoyi and Fan Yang, led 10,000 elite Fan Yang to be stationed in Qishui City.
King Kong Jun is obviously not Luo Yue's opponent, and in order to avoid Luo Yue, it is inevitable to bypass Bianzhou. ” Although Guo Yao still had some words that he didn't say explicitly, everyone understood his deep meaning.
It is nothing more than mocking Kong Sheng for being afraid of Luo Yue and not daring to fight Luo Yue head-on, and detouring Bianzhou is just to obtain the protection of Guo Ziyi's military horses, trying to join forces with Guo Ziyi's Xuzhou army, and then waiting for the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and covet military achievements.
Or, Kong Sheng was simply defeated and expelled by Luo Yue this time.
Otherwise, the established marching routes of the three armies, the so-called echoes each other, but they do not interfere with each other and fight independently, and Kong Sheng does not attack Luoyang, but runs to Bianzhou to do something Guo Ziyi fell silent.
Regarding his son Guo Yao's words, he was noncommittal.
Fan Yangmeng's brave general Luo Yue, he knows it very well, because he has fought with Luo Yue before, and there are very few generals in the Tang Army who can fight with Luo Yue, and those who can fight and win are not there for the time being.
Even Guo Ziyi, if he really fights on the battlefield, he is not Luo Yue's opponent.
But Guo Ziyi is a commander, not an ordinary general, and his personal ability is not only reflected in personal bravery, but more in the quality of an all-round military commander.
Therefore, Guo Ziyi is not ashamed to defeat Luo Yue, but Guo Ziyi feels that no one under his command can carry Luo Yue, but it is a little embarrassing.
The generals whispered and discussed, although their voices were extremely low, they could hear it, and they despised Kong Sheng's move very lightly.
Fugu Huaien smiled and asked, "Marshal, the people of King Kong are still waiting, do you see it or not?"
Guo Ziyi shook his head: "General Fugu, if you go and tell this person, you will say that this marshal is planning to take Bianzhou, and the military situation is urgent, so I won't see him."
Please ask him to pass it on to the king of Kongjun, if it is difficult to go all the way to Qishui City, it is not impossible for the Jiangnan military horses to bypass Bianzhou and meet with Ben Shuai.
But there are no two days, there are no two commanders in the army, if the Jiangnan army comes to Bianzhou to join forces, they must accept the integrated dispatch of the commander, otherwise, please ask the king of Kong Jun to find another high. ” Guo Ziyi means that it is not impossible for you to come and join forces with the old man, and when the time is right, it is not impossible to let you have some combat exploits.
However, the army orders are unified, and your soldiers and horses must accept the integrated dispatch of the old man, otherwise, please go where you should go and where you should go.
Servant Gu Huai'en should be.
Wu Xian heard that Guo Ziyi avoided it, and couldn't help but be secretly annoyed.
But he is helpless, Guo Ziyi is in a high position and powerful, and his fame moves the world, even if he is the emperor, he has to give Guo Ziyi some face, not to mention that he is a Xuanwei general from the fourth grade.
Wu Xian remembered Kong Sheng's mission, and couldn't help but say coldly to Fugu Huaien: "General Fugu, the king of my county ordered the general to come to deliver the message, and I heard that Guo Linggong could not attack Bianzhou for a long time and suffered heavy damage, so our army came to help."
Since Guo Linggong is closed, then, the general can only return to my county king and ask the county king to take it."
Wu Xian turned his head and left, without the slightest bit of mud and water.
A contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of Fugu Huaien's mouth, and he looked at the back of Wu Xian who hurriedly roared away, and shook his head secretly, his eyes flashing with indifference.
Obviously, he came to the Xuzhou army to seek refuge, but he said it so high-soundingly, and it was really shameless to help the Xuzhou army attack Bianzhou The next morning.
The autumn sun hangs high, the outside of Bianzhou City is a solemn color, the northwest wind sweeps across the vast sky, because the two armies are facing each other, there is some invisible murderous aura between heaven and earth, although the weather is very good, but it gives people a sense of suffocation that the canopy wants to be depressed and make people dull and speechless.
The big war is coming, and everyone's heart is very solemn.
Whether it is the Li Tang official army or the Fan Yang rebel army.
Guo Ziyi's camp was on the east side of Bianzhou City.
Kong Sheng's army of 50,000 was camped on the west side of Bianzhou City, and the three stood in a triangle.
Guarding Bianzhou was Sun Qing, the deputy marshal of the Shi Chaoyi regime.
The generalissimo of the soldiers and horses was concurrently served by Shi Chaoyi, so Sun Qing was in fact the supreme military commander of Fan Yangjun.
This person is extremely arrogant, proficient in the art of war and strategy, and because he also has a relationship with Shi Chaoyi, he is quite important.
In Shi Chaoyi's military general system, he is the highest-ranking existence.
And Luo Yue is just a general who is controlled by Sun Qing.
Sun Qing stood on top of the city tower and looked at Kong Sheng's army who had just set up camp, with a sneer on his face.
Led thousands of remnants to Bianzhou to Luo Yue and said with a solemn expression: "Marshal, Kong Sheng, the king of Jiangning County, led an army of 50,000 to attack Bianzhou, and joined Guo Ziyi's 60,000 soldiers and horses, Bianzhou is afraid of being in danger, and the last general suggested that he immediately ask the emperor for help, and ask Luoyang to send troops to reinforce Bianzhou."
Sun Qing squinted and glanced at Luo Yue, with a little disdain in his heart.
In fact, he couldn't understand why Luo Yue was defeated in the hands of a rabble led by Kong Sheng, the so-called king of Jiangning County, and the dignified 10,000 Fan Yang iron cavalry were defeated by a temporary patchwork team in the south that had not experienced war, and they were defeated, and ran all the way to their own Bianzhou, which really lost the face of Fan Yang's army.
But thinking of Luo Yue's courage and lack of strategy, Sun Qing sneered in his heart, it must be that he had no brains to be brave and was exploited by Kong Shengjun, so he suffered defeat.
In fact, Luo Yue is really not the kind of general who has no brains.
He was rough and fine, brave and strategic, but he was frightened by Kong Sheng's mysterious power that day, so he led the army to defeat.
Kong Sheng's performance that day was really too miraculous and terrifying, even if he thought about it now, Luo Yue still felt creepy and cold sweat.
This is no longer human bravery, but the power of gods and demons, how can human beings resist Sun Qing said lightly: "General Luo, Ben Shuai has 50,000 elite soldiers, all of them are one as ten, brave and good at fighting, killing the Tang army frightened Guo Ziyi led the army to attack, and was defeated by Ben Shuai twice, even if the two armies of the Li Tang Dynasty were combined into one, what fear did Ben Shuai have" "This Guo Ziyi is in name only, and in the past few days, he has been killed by Ben Shuai to the point of losing his armor.

As for this Jiangning County Wang Kong Sheng, the yellow-haired child, the Jiangnan army that was put together temporarily, has no combat power at all, and in front of the commander's army, it is like a chicken and a dog."
Sun Qing said proudly.
Luo Yue frowned, hesitated for a moment, and still suggested: "Handsome, Kong Sheng is a man of great talent and miraculous."
Sun Qing waved his hand impatiently to interrupt Luo Yue's words, and said indifferently: "Okay, don't say it, Ben Shuai has his own proposition General Luo, Ben Shuai knows that you have suffered a defeat under Kong Sheng's hand, the so-called once you were bitten by a snake for ten years and afraid of the well rope, but you are you, Ben Shuai is Ben Shuai, you can rest assured that you will obey orders in Bianzhou, and see how Ben Shuai deploys troops and sends generals to kill Kong Sheng to avenge Fan Yang Erlang."
Luo Yue's face turned red, and he was so ashamed of Sun Qing's unceremonious words that he couldn't say a word.
He was originally the most brave person in Fan Yang's army, and he regarded himself higher than Sun Qing, but now he has become a lost dog and a defeated general, and he is no longer brave.
But thinking of Kong Sheng's god-like methods and many mysteries, Luo Yue was terrified and cold sweat flowed again, and he had the heart to persuade Sun Qing not to underestimate and despise Kong Sheng, so as not to suffer a big loss at Kong Sheng's hands, but Sun Qing brushed his sleeves impatiently in the morning, and didn't listen to him at all.
Luo Yue let out a long sigh and hung her head helplessly.
Since Sun Qing insisted on going his own way, he had no choice.
After all, Sun Qing is the commander, and he is just a defeated general, and he will have to bear the heavy responsibility of losing troops in the future.
Luo Yue had a strong premonition in his heart at this time, he felt that Kong Sheng led the army around Bianzhou, and the end of Sun Qing was coming.
Guo Ziyi can't take Bianzhou, it doesn't mean that Kong Sheng has no choice. oshow7 t1706231537:
