Chapter 678 A Basin of Sewage
Back to a few days ago, Qin Heng informed Qin Sheng of the summons from Governor Qin.
Qin Heng thought, since his sixth brother's wife doesn't need Xiaoliu for the time being, then Xiaoliu will work for him!
Qin Heng didn't waste any time talking to him. He just took the man away, prepared himself, and set off with his cavalry battalion!
Qin Heng asked him to take the cavalry battalion and be on standby at all times to support the Sun family army and deal with the upcoming war.
When talking about the war, Qin Sheng put away all his thoughts.
This is also the first appearance of the Pingzhou cavalry, and they must give a satisfactory answer.
Jiumen County, Changzhou
After cleaning up the battlefield, Sun Ming ordered his soldiers to cook and rest after eating. They might have another tough battle to fight next.
That night, Tuoba Khan did not sleep well and felt inexplicably irritated.
The eldest son led his troops to occupy Jiumen County before the Sun family army, and fought against the Sun family army from both inside and outside. When the Sun family army reinforced its troops, the Xianbei also gradually reinforced them to 20,000 troops.
Tuoba Khan thought, I hope there will be good news from Jiumen County tomorrow.
Tuoba Khan couldn't sleep. He heard a commotion outside the tent. He couldn't help but sit up and asked loudly, "What's the noise outside?"
The guard hurried over to report, "Khan, there was an earthquake in Jiumen County last night."
Tuoba Khan was slightly surprised when he heard this, "There was an earthquake in Jiumen County?"
"How did you know about this? Did the eldest prince send someone to bring back the news?" asked Tuoba Khan.
The guard shook his head. "Some people near Jiumen County felt the earthquake and fled in panic overnight. They were captured and questioned by our people."
Hearing this, Tuoba Khan's heart suddenly sank, "Quick, order Dugu Zhong to lead a team of soldiers to Jiumen County."
After receiving the order, Dugu Zhong set out with his army. However, he was very cautious and ordered a group of soldiers to scout the road ahead to determine if there were any ambushes, while he himself led the main force behind.
It can be said that the Dali army led by Yang Yingqin and the Xianbei army led by Dugu Zhong arrived in Jiumen County almost at the same time.
At this time, the flags representing Pingzhou and the Sun family army had been hoisted on the city wall of Jiumen County.
At this time, Sun Ming, Guo Chong and others had been waiting for a long time.
The three parties are in a three-legged tripod position.
Seeing the flags on the city wall, Yang Yingqin was surprised. Where was the Xianbei army that occupied Jiumen County? Could it be that Pingzhou had taken advantage of the earthquake?
Dugu Zhong's face changed drastically, and he immediately raised his voice and asked, "Excuse me, General Sun Ming, is King Tuoba Xun in your hands?"
Sun Ming pretended not to hear. Guo Chong stepped forward to answer. He looked at Yang Yingqin and said with a smile, "General Yang, you are here. Please come into the city."
Yang Yingqin frowned. What does this mean?
Dugu Zhong heard something and looked at Yang Yingqin with surprise and doubt.
"Guo Chong, what do you mean?"
"General Yang, please stop being so modest. Without your cooperation and assistance, how could Pingzhou have annihilated the 20,000-man Xianbei army led by Tuoba Xun in one fell swoop? You deserve all the courtesy."
Upon hearing this, Yang Yingqin was stunned.
Pingzhou had actually killed the Xianbei's eldest prince, Tuoba Xun? So the Xianbei and Pingzhou were destined to fight to the death? Before he could even get a moment to rejoice, a basin of dirty water was poured down on Dali.
No wonder Sun Ming, Guo Chong and other Pingzhou generals had such strange attitudes at the beginning.
He finally understood what Pingzhou was planning!
Dali finally gave up Changshan, a territory that had been annexed by Pingzhou and the Xianbei, but Pingzhou resorted to a divisive tactic, intending to divert the Xianbei's hatred towards Dali!
The Xianbei soldiers were all shocked upon hearing this. What?! Their eldest prince was dead? And 20,000 Xianbei warriors were also annihilated?
Upon learning of the death of Prince Tuoba Xun, Dugu Zhong looked at Yang Yingqin suspiciously. Without caring about anything else, he questioned Guo Chong, "Sun Ming, Guo Chong, were you the ones who killed Prince Tuoba Xun?"
"When two armies confront each other, isn't it normal for some people to die?"
Dugu Zhongxin is cold-hearted. Tuoba Xun is the eldest prince of the Xianbei people. Can he die so easily?
"Yang Yingqin, great! You Dali and Pingzhou have joined forces to deceive us Xianbei, right?" Dugu Zhong looked at Yang Yingqin with the coldest eyes possible.
But what about the earthquake in Jiumen County?
Yang Yingqin and others: How miserable...
He is like a dumb person eating bitter herbs, unable to express his pain.
Did he have to explain in public that they had never joined forces with Pingzhou?
Do they want the Dali court to admit that it has colluded with the Xianbei and would rather give the city to the Xianbei than give Pingzhou?
Yang Yingqin could only avoid answering Dugu Zhong's questions.
He didn't answer, so Guo Chong answered cheerfully for him, "Yes, thanks to Dali's cooperation and help, we have achieved such a great victory in Pingzhou. General Yang, please lead the soldiers into the city."
Yang Yingqin was so scared when he heard this. Entering the city? How could he dare? He was afraid that if he went in, he would be killed.
Pingzhou is so damn despicable and shameless!
"General Dugu, what should we do now?" asked the deputy general. The situation was very tricky.
Dugu Zhong said, "Send someone to report back the news that the eldest prince and his 20,000 soldiers have been annihilated. Everything awaits the Khan's decision."
"yes!"
Then, Dugu Zhong divided the army into two parts, one part rested on the spot, and the other part was responsible for vigilance, especially keeping an eye on the Dali army.
He didn't focus on the Sun family army because they were defending the city and it was impossible for them to abandon the city and flee for the time being.
Yang Yingqin wanted to retreat, but the Xianbei army on the opposite side was staring at them hungrily, as if they would pounce on them and tear them to pieces if they dared to move.
He immediately understood that Sun Ming's words had made Dali one of the culprits in Tuoba Xun's death. Dugu Zhong didn't know whether it was true or not, but he wouldn't let them leave.
He summoned his personal guards, gave him a token, and asked him to go back and summon reinforcements.
He sighed in his heart, fearing that there would be a tough battle to fight next.
"Military Advisor Guo, this strategy of sowing discord is quite good." Sun Ming praised.
A young general nearby scratched his head and said, "I just wonder if the Xianbei will believe it?"
Guo Chong: "This is not important."
It was not until later that the young player understood what he meant.
"Military Advisor Guo is here. We can fight this battle with half the effort."
Guo Chong smiled without saying anything and prepared for a big battle. Xue Xu made a contribution in front of the governor, leaving only Guo Chong and Dong Jichuan.
Then, Dong Jichuan went to Qin Heng in Zhuozhou, and he came to Sun Jiajun in Changshan.
When the two left, they looked at each other, and both of them thought, "We can't let Xue Xu have all the glory, right?"
Now that Tuoba Xun has been eliminated in Jiumen County, this step can be regarded as a major advancement of another plan.
Use another divisive tactic to muddy the waters. Next, let Gu Duzhong's Xianbei army and Yang Yingqin's Dali army consume each other's manpower.
