Chapter 1009: Success in the East and Success in the West (Part 2)

Feng Fayong was holding a sword that was full of gaps and looked like jagged teeth. He sat on the ground panting. His body was covered with blood, including his own, the enemy's, and Pao Ze's. There were five more soldiers gathered around him. There were more than a thousand people, and they occupied a small hill. Surrounding them, they were so densely packed that one could not see the end of them, all of them were Qin troops.

At this time, Feng Fayong's heart was full of regret, not because he was afraid of death, but because he had brought the team in Shannan County into a desperate situation. He should not be greedy for credit. In the past few years, he had fought against the Qin Kingdom's Jiuyuan garrison general Wang in Shannan County. Shen, he was almost invincible and invincible. Every month, he would send troops to Jiuyuan County to harass him. A series of victories filled his mind and made him regard the Qin army as worthless. , underestimating the enemy's carelessness finally led to today's bitter fruit.

The Qin army secretly replaced their leader Wang Jian with Wang Xiao. He finally fell into the trap of this old fox. There were 30,000 soldiers in Shannan County, but he brought out 20,000 this time. He originally planned to attack Jiuyuan County. After defeating him, he did not expect that everything he did before was a bait prepared by Wang Xiao to lure him to attack. The Qin State secretly transferred their Xianyang garrison, Xuantiewei, here, and a fierce battle ensued in Jiuyuan City. Fight and walk on your own. After arriving here, there is still less than a hundred miles away from Shannan County, but it is out of reach.

Feng Zhuzhu held a bloody knife in one hand and a piece of dry biscuit in the other hand. He walked up to Feng Fayong and said, "Uncle, eat some."

Feng Fayong smiled and pushed Feng Zhuzi's hand away, "Uncle, you are not hungry. You can eat. Only when you are full can you have the energy to kill the enemy." Feng Fayong was a distant cousin of his. He was tall and thick and had amazing strength. Feng Fayong later After joining the Eastern Expedition Army, I took him from his hometown and took him with me. In the past two years, he has accumulated merit and been promoted to battalion commander.

"Uncle, you haven't eaten anything all day, aren't you hungry?" Feng Zhuzhu asked doubtfully.

"I'm not hungry." Feng Fayong shook his head, "You go ahead and eat!" He reached out and patted Feng Zhuzhu on the shoulder, "Uncle is older and will feel full after eating a little bit, which is no better than you young people."

"Oh!" Feng Zhuzi nodded, sat down next to Feng Fayong, and took a big bite of the dry biscuit. Seeing him choking and rolling his eyes, Feng Fayong smiled bitterly and shook his head. He reached out and took off a leather bag from his waist and handed it to Feng Zhuzhu. "Drink some water!"

"Thank you, uncle!" Feng Zhuzhu smiled sheepishly, "I've already finished all the water."

Feng Fayong stared at his distant cousin. This boy was straightforward and honest. He would have reached his peak as a general who charged into battle in the future, but the possibility of going further was slim.

"Uncle, what do you mean when you say that these Qin troops have not attacked us for a long time?" Feng Zhuzi finished eating the cake, wiped his mouth, and looked at the Qin troops around him, but there was not much fear in his eyes.

"They are surrounding us and not fighting. I'm afraid they are waiting for some of the people we killed earlier to return to Shannan County to report the news, so that Shannan County's remaining troops can come and rescue us!" Feng Fayong said disdainfully.

"Isn't that good? When the time comes, we should cooperate inside and outside and fight out together!" Feng Zhuzhu said happily, but in the blink of an eye he frowned again, "No, how can the enemy be so kind?"

Feng Fayong laughed heartily, "How many troops do we have left in Shannan County?"

"Sir, Master Xishang is bringing ten thousand people with him," Feng Zhuzhu said.

"Yes, ten thousand people. In addition to staying in the city to defend the city, how many people can they send to rescue us?" Feng Fayong asked rhetorically.

Feng Zhuzi was stunned, "Five thousand, no, no, no, that won't work, three thousand? It won't work either. If you come with three thousand people, you can only fill the gap between the enemy's teeth."

"Yes, if you come too little, it won't work, and you will only die. If you come too much, what will happen to Shannan County?" Feng Fayong stood up and looked at the blurry flag of Qin General Wang Xiao in the distance, "Surround the spot to call for reinforcements." , surrounded me and wanted to attack the reinforcements that came to rescue me, or take advantage of the situation to seize Shannan County. This kind of trick that our Han army has failed to use also wants to use it on us, hum! It’s a beautiful idea.”

Feng Zhuzi was silent for a moment, "Uncle, although the tricks are bad, they are the most effective. You single-handedly promoted Master Shang. If you are in trouble now, can he not come?"

"Shang Kexi is not a fool. He knows how to choose between me and Shannan County." Feng Fayong smiled and threw the jagged knife on the ground with his backhand, "Besides, I will not let him have the opportunity to be in trouble." Zhuzi, tell all the brothers that the Qin army will not take the initiative to attack us, so for the next time, everyone can lie down and sleep, and when it gets dark, we will fight them to the death."

"Understood!" Feng Zhuzhu nodded vigorously. No matter how stupid he was, he now understood what Feng Fayong meant by not giving Shang Kexi a hard time.

Wang Xiao sat on another hillock far away from the place occupied by Feng Fayong. He waved the flag above his head, and the green grass was glistening under his feet. There were four or five dishes placed on a felt blanket. He raised it with one hand. Holding the cup in one hand, he was pouring and drinking it leisurely and contentedly.

A few years ago, he was defeated at the hands of Jing Rufeng at Hangu Pass. The 20,000 elite Qin troops were defeated and defeated. He himself was also deprived of his position and reduced his rank. In the Qin State, he was a king and defeated a bandit, but he had nothing to do with it. But the person who resented King Wulie of Qin was just that this battle caused him great shame and humiliation, and his whole person became depressed. Although King Wulie of Qin did not hold him accountable anymore, he imprisoned himself in his home in Xianyang and lived every day. All he was doing was reviewing the battle that resulted in his disastrous defeat.

But the more he reviewed, the more depressed he became. Every calculation he made seemed to be under Jing Rufeng's control. It seemed that Jing Rufeng could always accurately calculate what he wanted to do, which made him extremely annoyed. He didn't know much about Jing Rufeng. When Jing Rufeng was at the height of his power, he was just a junior officer. During the 20 years since Jing Rufeng's defection, he had only risen up the ranks little by little. For this man In addition to hating his opponent, he also admired him. Jing Rufeng was the first opponent he encountered who could count him to death.

Until last year, King Qin Wulie once again summoned him into the palace. First, he scolded him severely, saying that he was unwilling to make progress. After Wang Xiao bowed his head and admitted his mistake, King Qin Wulie then revealed a huge secret. But he was petrified on the spot.

Has Jing Rufeng always been a member of the Qin State? The battle outside Hangu Pass turned out to be a joint effort between him and King Wulie of Qin. What they did was to allow Jing Rufeng to truly conquer the Hedong Camp of Zhao State. Hold it in your hand?

It turned out that in that battle, it was not that he was incompetent, but that someone betrayed him. Looking at King Wulie of Qin, Wang Xiao must have been extremely strange at that time, because the person who betrayed him was King Wulie of Qin himself.

At that moment, he really felt aggrieved.

"Do you feel aggrieved?" King Qin Wulie asked coldly.

Wang Xiao nodded subconsciously, but immediately realized that something was wrong. But if he said it, how could he take back the water he had thrown out?

"You feel aggrieved, but can you think of Jing Rufeng's grievance? For the sake of Da Qin, his Jing family even destroyed his family. After the battle at Hangu Pass, even his ancestral graves were dug up. Do you feel the same grievance as him? "

"I am far inferior to you!" Wang Xiao said sincerely.

"It's good that you know that this defeat has actually wiped out all your energy and spirit. I think I was so blind that I made you a general. Back then, I killed several people in one breath at Huolan Pass. Where are the thousands of Xiongnu cavalrymen and General Wang who dared to be a hero even after the incident?"

Facing the scolding of King Qin Wulie, Wang Xiao fell to his knees with a bang: "Please give me another chance, Your Majesty. I will definitely live up to Your Majesty."

"Okay, very good, you go to Jiuyuan City to replace your son. Wang Jian is still too young and is a little unable to face Feng Fayong." King Qin Wulie said: "Remember, this matter is carried out in secret. Before there is an explicit order, The nominal leader of the garrison in Jiuyuan is still your son. Do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand!"

Wang Xiao raised his neck and drank all the wine in the glass. Grievance? What does it mean to suffer a little grievance for the country? Back then, he killed tens of thousands of Huns prisoners in one breath. When he came back and was questioned, he said nothing, did not defend, did not deny. , why don’t you feel aggrieved in your heart?

"Father!" Wang Jian galloped up the hill, dismounted, and walked to his father.

"Well, what's the matter?"

"Father, the sentry in front found that Feng Fayong and his troops were all sleeping, and the snoring was deafening. This, this damn guy is too arrogant."

Wang Xiao laughed: "It's not that they are arrogant, but Feng Fayong guessed what your father and I were thinking. He knew that I just wanted to use him as bait."

"Dad, does Shang Kexi from Shannan County know how to send troops?"

"I don't know!" Wang Xiao said calmly.

"Ah?" Looking at Wang Xiao, Wang Jian was dumbfounded. He originally thought his father had it all in mind, but he didn't expect such an answer.

"What's so strange? Shang Kexi's sending troops is only a possibility. For this possibility, I keep Feng Fayong alive for a while. Is there anything wrong with him?"

"They are recharging their strength. I think they want to wait until nightfall to break out in the dark."

"That's what Feng Fayong thinks." Wang Xiao said with a smile: "What does it matter? Do you think they can stand out?"

Wang Jian shook his head.

"In that case, why don't we wait for that possibility? If Shang Kexi really sends troops, then the partial division we sent out can take advantage of the situation and seize the Shannan County City. That will really save trouble!" Wang Xiaoxiao said, "Wait a minute, when it gets dark, there will be news from Shannan County. Then we can eat Feng Fayong's remaining soldiers! Can a cooked duck really fly?"

The sky was getting darker little by little, and the sound of horse hooves in the distance was like thunder. Wang Xiao turned his head and looked in the direction where the cavalry was running, and shook his head slightly, with a look of disappointment on his face that could not be concealed.

"Back to the general, I am glad that there is no sign of sending troops from Shannan County. Instead, Shannan County is strengthening its defenses, and the people outside the city are also retreating into the city." The scout reported loudly. (To be continued)
