Chapter 101 Success or Failure in Daxing
Shen Yuanjing sat upright in the main seat of the hall, opposite to him was a scholar in his forties. He was slender and half a head taller than an ordinary person. He had a thin face, his eyes were bright, and his five long beards were floating on his face with three smiles, making him look extremely chic.
There were Fang Xuanling, Shan Wanjing and Shang Xiuxun and others next to him, and the Song family Song Shidao, Song Yuzhi and others were there.
The scribe said, "Song Zhi was entrusted by his elder brother to come to make a covenant. He was going to come in person, but when he heard that Mr. Chen and Ning Daoqi had a battle, he was afraid that he would meet and couldn't help but take action. He had to give up and hope that Mr. Chen would be forgiven."
"Now is not the time for us to meet. When his sword intent is perfect, my sword will become sharper, and it will not be too late to fight this battle." Shen Yuanjing smiled and said, "This time Xiangyang is empty, Lin Shihong dares not act rashly. He also wants to thank you for your help."
"Since you are an ally, it should be so. The Song family can't watch the demons of the Yingui Sect become bigger." Song Zhi smiled and said, "I have another unhappy request to come here today. My niece is spoiled and no one can discipline me. But I am convinced by Mr. Chen. I wonder if I can be lucky enough to serve tea and water under my teacher's school, and be a maid?"
There was no big change on Song Yuzhi's face, but his hands were placed in front of him and he was obviously a little nervous.
Shen Yuanjing nodded and said, "The daughter of the Song clan master is naturally the phoenix among people. Who can refuse it? Yuzhi, if you come over and kowtow three times, you will be considered to be my disciple!"
Song Yuzhi quietly let out a sigh, came over to kneel down, kowtowed three respectfully, and called "Master." He then saluted Shan Wanjing and Shang Xiuxun on the side, saying "Senior Sister".
Fang Xuanling was also happy that the two families formed an allies and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen is afraid that he will catch all the most beautiful women in the world and take them back to his disciples. This is also a story that will be passed down as a temporary one."
Shen Yuanjing smiled slightly, looked out the door, and said, "The things of fortune are hard to describe. Who knows why so many beautiful girls will be born in such a season, so that I can pass on what I have learned, and I feel relieved."
Fang Xuanling was about to speak when something came from outside, a panting soldier entered the hall and shouted: "Daxingcheng urgently reported!" He half-kneeled and submitted a letter.
Shen Yuanjing reached out and glanced a few times, then handed it to Fang Xuanling, saying, "From Jingling to Xiangyang, and from Xiangyang to Daxing, the foundation of the king and domineering is finally settled."
Even when Song Zhizhi's city palace heard this, he was still shocked. Seeing Fang Xuanling's unstoppable smile, Shen Yuanjing had no intention of explaining, so he was not willing to ask again, so he was about to leave. Suddenly another communicating force came hurriedly and shouted: "Fufeng County urgently reported!"
When Shen Yuanjing received the letter, he smiled and said, "Shimin is indeed extraordinary, and Li Xiuning is also a heroine, and she is much better than her father."
Fang Xuanling took the letter and was overjoyed and said, "I didn't expect that the second young master would defeat the lot with less and beat Xue Ju to a mess. Now Daxing City has been in his pocket, so I can rest assured."
Song Zhi was much calmer at this moment and stood up to say goodbye, "Mr. Chen is busy with military affairs, so I won't disturb you. Yuzhi asked Mr. to discipline him well, and Song said goodbye." However, he left in a hurry and went to inquire about the news.
Shortly after he left, Shen Yuanjing chuckled and said, "I am so open and honest about this military information. Guess how long can this suspicious military strategy hold Song Zhi?" He didn't care that Song Yuzhi was still in the hall, and his mind was leisurely.
Fang Xuanling said: "It can be two or three days. After he goes back today, he will definitely go around to find out the news on the front line. He will become suspicious because of these words from his husband. If he doesn't have the exact news, how dare he act rashly? But we also need to be prepared to let Pang Yu be careful so that the Song family can stop, and let Lin Shihong free up his troops and take advantage of our loopholes.
Song Yuzhi smiled bitterly in his heart and said to himself: "The master and this person have a really sarcastic vision. Although Uncle Zhi is quite wise, he is just indecisive. Although he can think clearly about things, he will not make mistakes, but he has no determination to make decisions. He has many opportunities to delay the opportunity and is scolded by his father many times.
Alas, the conflicts between the interests of all forces are indeed complicated. The two sides have just signed an alliance and are about to tear it apart now. It is really a deception. How can people guess and see through it? Forget it, I don’t care, I can’t help but learn my skills.”
She said goodbye to Shen Yuanjing and went out with Shan Wanjing and Shang Xiuxun.
...
Only then did Shen Yuanjing and Fang Xuanling and others carefully deduce the battle in the north. Li Jing's letter came urgently and only gave a general idea, that was, he used a strategy to capture Daxing City, and Li Shimin also defeated Xue Ju. As for the situation in the city, no casualties were written.
Fortunately, Li Jing sent a team of people back at the same time, letting everyone know that Ying is not seriously injured, so he decided to go to Jiangxia, and exchange it for Pang Yu to come to Xiangyang to take charge of the overall situation together with Fang Xuanling. Shen Yuanjing and others head north to appease Daxing.
As for Li Shimin's letter later, it was much more detailed, describing how to repel Xue Ju's attack. It turned out that he led his troops all the way, rushed to Fufeng County before his opponent, and took the lead in establishing a defense on the bank of the Wei River.
When Xue Ju arrived and saw that his camp was deep and orderly, he knew that it would not be able to be broken for a while. Because he was eager to go to Daxing City, he followed the advice of his advisers and did not attack. Instead, he relied on his strength to be several times the enemy and divided his troops into two groups. He led his troops to detour and rushed towards Daxing City, and ordered his son Xue Rengao to lead another army to restrain Li Shimin.
This plan is very appropriate, and Li Shimin really has no way to pursue it. However, although Xue Rengao is brave and intelligent, he is arrogant and domineering, and he does not look down on his opponent very much. Just one day after Xue Ju left, he actually led his troops to attack him on his own initiative.
Li Shimin was overjoyed and fought with him at the Wei River, and defeated him with one blow. Later, he ordered the army to attack Xue Ju, and he and Yuchi Jingde personally led dozens of cavalry to chase him. Xue Rengao was so scared that he didn't dare to turn around.
However, Xue Ju marched urgently all the way. Seeing that he was about to reach Daxing City, he was stopped by a team of people in Wugong and did not dare to advance rashly. After a long battle, he heard that Xue Rengao was defeated and the pursuers arrived again. He was stunned for a while and had to retreat in a panic. At this time, he was only a hundred miles away from Daxing City.
By the time he returned with his son, Xue Ju had already found out that the troops who stopped him in martial arts were Li Xiuning. Some of them were soldiers under Li Shimin who were dissatisfied with Li Yuan and his son, while the other was heroic men who were recruiting along the way. He sighed and said, "The tiger girl is far better than a dog son." He called Xue Rengao very ashamed.
...
After this battle, the danger of the West Road collapsed. When Li Shimin met with Li Xiuning to Daxing, Li Jing had already captured the city. After learning about the success of his two brothers and sisters, he sent people back to Xiangyang first.
Three people gathered together, and Hongfu killed Yang Wengan, the leader of the Jingzhao United Union, in public, forcing the rest of the people to surrender. At this point, the rebellious forces in Daxing City disappeared and the situation was no longer possible to reverse.
