Chapter 394 Entering Dezhou Gu Xinyang also noticed that a group of monks in leather armor rushed out from the rear army, and directly lined up to rush to the place where the first-class masters who rushed with them were located, and the Yan soldiers along the way were very cooperative to give way to let them pass.And the Yan army, which was surrounded by dozens of first-class masters, was also besieging but not attacking, obviously knowing that there were people who were really dealing with them.Gu Xinyang knew that there was not much time left for them.If they continue to fight and fail to kill King Yan in the end, the four of them may be able to run away, and the dozens of first-class masters who came with them, as well as the elites of the more than 1,000 cavalry sent to them by Li Jinglong, will inevitably fold here.Among these first-class masters, there are not only the hope stars and talented masters of the younger generation, but also the backbone of the sect and family like Tang Kangsheng, the head of the Tang family, and even the people in power.Being able to gather such a group of people has exhausted the hidden connections that Gu Xinyang has built up over the past few decades, if this attack on King Yan fails and he fails to bring them out, then there is no doubt that it will be very difficult for him to gather a top master of this scale next time.Gu Xinyang deliberately led the fight between the two to the place where the Yan King under the big sword was, and the other Xue Liang and Wang Hatshui also had a good heart, and went over there while fighting.But soon, Gu Xinyang found out that something was wrong, the person under the big curtain was not King Yan!
Gu Xinyang had seen Zhu Di, the king of Yan, he knew Zhu Di's appearance very well, from a distance, the man was wearing a complete set of armor, and a bright yellow cloak was draped outside, which was exactly the dress that Zhu Di had always relied on, and his figure and appearance were also similar, plus the same beard, it was really difficult to distinguish.But after the distance was shortened, looking at the "King Yan" who had a look of eagerness in his eyes, but was held by the guards next to him, Gu Xinyang not only judged that this person was not King Yan, but also recognized his true identity - this is the second son of Zhu Di, King of Yan, Zhu Gaoxu!
At the same time, judging from the movement from afar, the wave of counterattack just set off by the imperial army seemed to have been completely defeated by the Yan army, and now it was about to be unable to hold on.At this time, the real King Yan was leading his troops to attack the military formation of the imperial army.The moment he recognized Zhu Gaoxu's identity, Gu Xinyang knew that they had to leave.Maybe he can pay a certain price and fight for the possibility of being injured by Wuzhen to kill Zhu Gaoxu.But doing so has no practical significance, and it may attract the Yan King's crazy revenge, and if any of their people are captured by the Yan army, they will definitely be killed to vent their anger.…… When the imperial army and the Yan army fought in Jingzhou, Wang Ge entered Dezhou with a team of elite soldiers.Among the cities in Shandong, the county capital, he has the most eyeliner and the strongest control, there is no doubt that Qingzhou City and the various states and counties under the jurisdiction of Qingzhou Government.But for a few more important big cities, such as Jinan, such as Changyi, such as Dezhou.Especially in Dezhou City, after Li Jinglong determined that Dezhou was the base of the Northern Expeditionary Army of the imperial court, Wang Ge secretly mobilized a large number of people and slowly infiltrated Dezhou City.Even Sun Hong and Sun Huan were dispatched by him to lurk in Texas and operate transfers.At the beginning, the imperial court was quite neat, and martial law was often imposed in the city of Texas, and all key places were heavily guarded.But later, as more and more soldiers and horses gathered, they became more and more mixed, and they did not belong to each other, and often clashed, and Texas became more and more chaotic.The people arranged by Wang Ge also had the opportunity to make trouble, and in many key places, they installed or bought their own people.Most of these people who were bought didn't know that they were bought by King Yan's people, they were just greedy for money, but Sun Huan and Sun Hong, who had been following Wang Ge and Liang Bowei for so long, had already figured out the trick of playing with people's hearts, as long as the other party took the money and opened the first opening, they basically couldn't escape their control.At a critical time, they already have a way to secretly open a city gate.However, if it was when the Yan army was attacking the city, the success of this was very small, because at that time, the city defense must be very tight, full of heavy troops, and even several city gates that had not made any plans to fight would be directly sealed, and the possibility of wanting to open them without permission was very small.Even if it is opened, if it does not cooperate well with the siege army outside, it may be recaptured by the defenders and closed again not long after it is opened.Unless there is a team of elite men and horses hiding in the city in advance, when there is an incident, take the city gate and defend it directly, so that it is foolproof.When Li Jinglong was in the city, no matter whether he won the hearts of the army or not, the security of the entire city would definitely be tighter.But now the army is heading north and fighting a decisive battle with the Yan army in Jingzhou, although there are still 20,000 defenders in the city, but the attention is on the grain and grass, and the garrison is much looser.However, Wang Ge led people to infiltrate Dezhou City in batches this time, not to help the Yan army capture the city gate and take Dezhou City.At the beginning, when this proposal was made, Dao Yan's idea was that if the imperial army was defeated and Li Jinglong escaped again and returned to Dezhou City, Wang Ge would find a way to take him down directly.With him under control, the entire Northern Expedition army will naturally split and collapse, and it will be very simple for the pursuing Yan army to take Texas City.However, Wang Ge put forward a different opinion, and he believed that Li Jinglong's continued command of the imperial court's Northern Expedition was a more favorable situation for them.If Li Jinglong is captured alive or killed, then the court will inevitably change the commander again, although after several rounds of purges by Taizu, there are not many generals in the court who are prestigious and capable enough, but if there is another person, it may not be worse than Li Jinglong, and with Li Jinglong's experience, the other party may be steady and steady, which is not a good thing for the Yan army.King Yan also agreed with Wang Ge's opinion, and accepted Wang Ge's even bolder proposal - find a way to plot against Li Jinglong!
It is not quite accurate to say that it is a rebellion, or it should be said that it is a threat.…… In October of the second year of Jianwen, Li Jinglong, the commander of the Northern Expedition of the Imperial Court, personally led an army of 150,000 and fought with the elite 80,000 of the Yan army on a plain outside Jingzhou.In the end, after a day and a night of fighting, with the commander Li Jinglong's escape in advance again, the imperial army was completely defeated, no one was willing to break the back, no one was willing to resist, and once again there was a surrender of the formation, and even the southern army took the initiative to help the Yan army lead the way, leading them to chase and kill the fleeing Li Jinglong and his pro-army guards.In the end, Li Jinglong successfully returned to Texas City with the remaining dozens of guards.But what he didn't expect was that as soon as he returned to the temporary General's Mansion, before he could take a breath, he was tied up.
