The path of the villain is not easy

Chapter 151 The War Begins
Hearing what Changsun Ji said, Wang Liang was a little overwhelmed. The turning point between these two events was a bit long. He looked up at Changsun Ji in surprise, and the murderous intent in his eyes disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"I said so much to tell you that you can fight your battle with peace of mind. You are a talent. As long as you can defeat the rebels, your credit is indispensable. You don't have to worry about me doing bad things behind you or taking your credit. You also You don't need to take the initiative to give me the credit with such a gesture, my eldest grandson Ji is not so unbearable."

Changsun Ji looked at Wang Liang and said in a deep voice.

Only then did Wang Liang come to his senses, bowed his hands to Changsun Ji and said, "The general is a real man, and I admire him in the end. It is the general who uses the heart of a villain to save the belly of a gentleman. The general is ashamed."

"Okay. I will remind you of your contribution to repelling the grain army yesterday. After suppressing the grain army, I will personally go to Beijing to ask His Majesty to reward you." Changsun Ji withdrew his smile and said solemnly.

"Thank you, General."

Wang Liang bowed his head and thanked him again.

"Come on, follow me to the riverside to have a look, and prepare to build defensive equipment." Changsun Ji stood up, patted him on the shoulder affectionately and said.

"As ordered."

After Wang Liang finished speaking, he rushed ahead of Changsun Ji and stretched out his hand to open the door.

Changsun Ji smiled, lifted his foot and walked out.

Guo Dingxin and He Zheng went to the barracks early in the morning, and Changsun Ji didn't send anyone to look for them. He just asked his servants to bring his horse and a few personal guards. Wang Liang led the way, and the group headed towards the river. rush to.

By the time Changsun Ji and his party rode horses to the river, the sun had already risen very high.It's just that, because it has already entered winter, the light emitted can't bring much warmth.

Stepping on the stirrups and getting off the horse, Changsun Ji looked around along the defensive line and was very satisfied. Whether it was the patrols on the surface or the secret sentries in the dark, they were all arranged very reasonably. It can be seen that Wang Liang is not here. The above moved my mind.

Although the river is flowing continuously, some traces of the battle last night can still be seen.After patrolling around, Changsun Ji pondered for a moment.

Turning around, he turned to Wang Liang and said, "The inspection line is basically fine now, but we still need to supplement it in terms of defense. There are no bunkers by the river now, and I see that the weapons in the soldiers' hands are long knives and spears. If the Liang army also attacks with bows and arrows at that time, we will suffer a lot of casualties."

"So, from cutting down trees to making shields, we must hurry up and do it. It doesn't matter if it is simple, the main thing is to block bows and arrows."

"There is also a camp here, and there need to be enough people to defend here every day."

"The general will obey." Wang Liang nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, Changsun Ji waved his hand, asked his servants to take out the map, spread it on the ground, pointed at Yang Ping and said:

"Right now, the Liang army is in Cangting. The only place they can cross the river is here. To the west, there is a place at Qinting, where they may cross the river.

However, there are still our soldiers stationed in Puyang below them. If the Liang army wants to break through the Qin Pavilion, it will take a day at the latest.It only takes half a day to get to Qinting from Puyang, so although it is possible, the possibility is not too great.

Going eastward is too wide, and it will waste too much of their manpower, material resources and time, and it will conflict with their plan to go all the way north. "

"After the sneak attack last night, the Liang army was unsuccessful. In order to cross the river as soon as possible, without any accident, they will soon choose to attack by force, so as long as we defend Yangping, it will block their way."

"As long as the Liang Army is intercepted in Yangping, the army staying in Puyang will regain the lost ground behind the Liang Army. As long as we can hold them back, until the supply of the Liang Army is cut off, at that time, the Liang Army is just a lamb waiting to be slaughtered." .”

"And at that time, it was the time when our good man made great achievements, so from now on, it will be the most difficult time for us. At this time, we must be extremely cautious, because a little negligence may lead to a big mistake. "

Changsun Ji said while pointing at the map.

Wang Liang and some senior generals surrounding Changsun Ji all cupped their hands and said, "Obey."

"From now on, where else will you and Guo Dingxin be divided into three teams, and one team will defend by the river every day. You stayed here all night yesterday, and I will ask Guo Dingxin to bring troops over later. At that time, you So I took the soldiers back to take a rest." Changsun Ji said to Wang Liang.

Wang Liang nodded in agreement, and did not refuse. There was a battle last night. If he defended on the river bank for a day, he would be very tired and prone to accidents.

After giving all the instructions, Changsun Ji told Wang Liang to hurry up and build a bunker, and then he got up on his horse and prepared to go back to the city.

It was almost noon now, Changsun Ji ordered a personal guard to bring his token, and asked him to bring an order to Guo Dingxin, so that he was ready to meet Wang Liangbing, and then he returned to the mansion with peace of mind.

After a simple lunch, Changsun Ji ran to the study and studied a map. He really didn't think there was anything wrong with not being an official or in charge of affairs on weekdays.

However, now that I have power in my hands and hold soldiers, I feel the pressure.Although the scenery is infinite in the eyes of outsiders, no one understands the pressure of countering the rebellion.

He is not afraid of a sneak attack by the Liang army now, because the Liang army will not send too many soldiers in order to conceal the sneak attack.With the soldiers in his hands, it can be dealt with completely.

However, if the Liang army is preparing to attack by force, then in the face of absolute numerical superiority, their chances of winning the city are not too high.

There is no difference between Yangping and other cities in Yanzhou. Most of the defenders were recruited by the brain-dead Yanzhou Mu and transferred to the front line to support Emperor Yan.

The total number of defenders staying in Yangping is less than 20. Even with the reinforcements brought by Changsun Ji, the total number of defenders in Yangping is now less than [-]. According to the previous information, the Liang Army should still have [-] troops. Wan Dajun.

The number of the Liang army is more than three times the number of their own. If it weren't for the flooding of this big river, the large army of the Liang army would not be able to get through and would be stranded on the other side.Even if all the defenders of Yangping were sent to the bank, they would not be able to defend the river bank.

Not to mention relying solely on Wang Liang and the army of less than 1 people.

However, Changsun Ji didn't stay in the room for too long, but in the afternoon, he was alarmed by a soldier who sent a message. The soldier only brought a message, that is: "Liang Jun has started to attack across the river."

Hearing this news, Changsun Ji couldn't afford not to take it seriously. This was a fierce battle, and Guo Dingxin's soldiers were under heavy pressure to defend by the river, so he would definitely send someone to support him.
