Chapter 166: Under the City of Jinan, the General Knocks on the Door

The words are divided into two parts.

When King Chen Huaian of the Jin Dynasty summoned generals and raised the Longcheng navy army, Wu Sanjia, the chief military officer of the new dynasty and the mighty general, was not idle either.

Long before Mozhou City was captured, Wu Sanjia transferred more than 30,000 elite cavalrymen from the Huben New Army in Mozhou City.

In addition to the 100,000 troops that he had transferred back to Yingzhou City in advance and joined forces with the 50,000 new Huben troops stationed in Yingzhou, the total was 180,000 troops.

This 180,000-strong army headed south under the leadership of Wu Sanjia.

Finally, on June 19, the second year of Daxin Lingwu, we arrived at Jinan Prefecture, the first large city that the army must pass through on its way south.

"General, Jinan Mansion is ahead!"

Tang Ziyi, the Yingzhou garrison of the Huben New Army on horseback, rode his horse to Wu Sanjia, frowned and said: "General, Wu Qidong, the garrison of Jinan Prefecture, seems to be interested in our coming to Beijing to serve the king. Be skeptical;"

"The vanguard scouts have come to report that the city gates of Jinan Prefecture are closed, and the defenders on the city walls are waiting in full formation. What should our army do?"

More than thirty miles outside the city of Jinan Prefecture, the 180,000 new tiger troops who had marched south to the capital were resting in a wilderness.

Tang Ziyi, the Yingzhou garrison, immediately informed General Wu Sanjia of the situation in Jinan Mansion that he had discovered.

Hearing this, Wu Sanjia frowned slightly and did not give an answer immediately.

On the way south to King Qin of Beijing, it was not the first time that Wu Sanjia encountered difficulties from the generals of the New Dynasty who were guarding the city, preventing the army from passing through.

Among the many garrison generals, some did not recognize the imperial edict of the Empress Dowager Su Waner, even though the imperial edict was stamped with the imperial seal of the Great New Dynasty;

Some people think that Wu Sanjia went south to the capital to serve as King Qin, just because he wanted to gain more court interests and voice after supporting his troops and respecting himself;

Some people even bluntly said that Wu Sanjia wanted to imitate Chen Huaian, the rebellious minister, who used the banner of coming to Beijing to serve the king and doing things for a while;

Wu Sanjia has long been accustomed to all kinds of doubts and rumors.

Normally, he would be polite first and then attack.

Those generals who defended the city who were unreasonable and unreasonable have all become dead souls under Wu Sanjia's sword. Naturally, the small cities cannot become an obstacle to Huben's new army from moving south.

However, this Jinan Mansion is different from ordinary small cities.

Jinan Prefecture was an important military town of the Xin Dynasty. The city walls were tall and easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Inside the city, there were even fifty thousand troops stationed.

Wu Qidong, the garrison of Jinan City, was the first among the many generals in the Great New Dynasty who was known for being good at defending the city.

If he adopts the simple and crude method of siege and transit in the past, Wu Sanjia is really not sure that he can capture Jinan Prefecture in a short time.

If the army is blocked at the foot of Jinan City, and the chasing Longcheng rebels block the retreat, it will be a dilemma.

Therefore, Wu Sanjia immediately decided to go to Jinan Fucheng in person to meet with the garrison commander Wu Qidong.

Wu Sanjia ordered: "Tang Ziyi, please pass on this general's military order to set up camp thirty miles outside the city of Jinan Prefecture. No one is allowed to send any troops to Jinan Prefecture without permission from this general."

"This general will personally go to Jinan City to meet with Wu Qidong!"

"General——"

At this time, when the Yingzhou garrison heard that Wu Sanjia was going to call the door in person, he immediately advised: "General, you must not put yourself in danger!"

"Who doesn't know that Wu Qidong, the guard of Jinan Prefecture, is a general promoted by the treacherous Prime Minister Qin Ruhui!"

"Right now, the quarrel between the Queen Mother and Qin Ruhui in the court has long been known to everyone. Everyone knows that the general led his troops south this time to go to Beijing to deal with the treacherous Prime Minister Qin Ruhui. ;"

"The general is afraid that Wu Qidong, a die-hard member of the prime minister's party, will be detrimental to the general!"

As he spoke, Tang Ziyi hesitated to speak.

In the end, for the sake of his own future and the fate of the 180,000 Tigers and New Army soldiers, he couldn't help but say: "General, Wu Fengxian, the son of Wu Qingyun;"

"But it was because he was deceived into Dragon City by Chen Huaian that he suffered an unexpected accident!"

"so......."

Hahaha!

As soon as Wu Sanjia heard his general comparing himself with Wu Fengxian, Wu Sanjia couldn't help laughing wildly.

After laughing for a long time, he said to Tang Ziyi with a domineering look: "Tang Ziyi, Wu Qidong, the guard of Jinan Mansion, how can he be compared with Chen Huaian, the rebellious minister?"

"That dandy Wu Fengxian, a good-for-nothing who relied on the protection of his fathers to reach the position of Major General, how can he be compared with this general?"

snort!

Wu Sanjia snorted coldly and continued: "I'm afraid you have forgotten that this general, the new martial arts champion of the Great New Dynasty, was made with real swords and guns on the martial arts field, sword by sword!"

"In this new dynasty, anyone who wants to harm me has not yet been born!"

As he spoke, Wu Sanjia turned his horse's head and shouted: "The Yu Houjun on the left and right obey the order and follow this general to Jinan Mansion!"

"The general will get the order!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Sanjia took the lead and rushed out.

Following closely behind were more than 800 elite soldiers wearing armor and carrying swords.

Looking at Wu Sanjia's leaving figure, Yingzhou garrison Tang Ziyi couldn't help but shake his head, silently praying for the general in his heart.

"Report——"

"General, the scouts have come to report that they have found traces of Deputy General Zhao Kui and thousands of Tiger Soldiers and New Army soldiers behind the army!"

Not long after Wu Sanjia left, Tang Ziyi, the garrison commander of Yingzhou, who was in charge of the camp and acting as the general, received a report from the messenger.

"What?"

But when he heard that the deputy general Zhao Kui led thousands of remnants and chased all the way to the city of Jinan, he was obviously surprised.

Afterwards, Tang Ziyi adjusted his mood and ordered the messenger outside the tent: "Pass the order, the army is ready;"

"No one is allowed to leave the camp without the order of this general!"

"I have received the order!"

After giving the order to his men, Tang Ziyi stood up and paced back and forth in the camp, muttering to himself: "This Zhao Kui, who didn't come earlier or later, just led the remaining soldiers to catch up when the general went to the city of Jinan alone;"

"If Zhao Kui is allowed to return to the military camp, then the promotion of this general to the deputy general of the Tiger Guard New Army will be a distant dream again?"

"No, this general has to think of a way!"

......

On the wall of Jinan City, the Daxin court soldiers guarding the city were ready.

Soon, a team of cavalry galloped and appeared in the sight of the soldiers guarding Jinan City.

On the city wall, the thousand-man garrison gave an order: "Archers, prepare!"

"If the enemy cavalry dares to approach the city of Jinan, shoot them with arrows immediately!"

"Understood!"
