Chapter 34 Encircle Chenzhou 2

Huang Chao, the emperor of Daqi, stationed the main force of the Daqi army in the Lantian area, planned to block the Tang army, which was invaded by Chang'an Dong, give the Tang army a large number of killings and injuries, and then withdrew from Lantian and advance into the hinterland of the Central Plains. However, Huang Chao was worried about Meng Kai's attack on Chenzhou, so he urgently ordered Cao Min to lead the main force of the Second Army of Daqi to rush to Caizhou and Chenzhou to help the First Army of Daqi.

At the same time, Huang Chao also ordered Huang Siye's headquarters of the Third Army of Daqi to capture Xihua as soon as possible to relieve the pressure of Meng Kai to attack Chenzhou.

Unsurprisingly, after Meng Kai captured Caizhou, he miscalculated the situation of the battlefield. Meng Kai believed that Chenzhou was a land of bullets and could be taken lightly. Therefore, without adequate preparation, he rashly ordered the main force of the First Army of the army to advance to Chenzhou, and ordered Qin Zongquan to send some soldiers and horses to respond.

Qin Zongquan ostensibly accepted Meng Kai's order, but this man was fierce and smooth, and left a hand for Daqi at the critical moment.

After Qin Zongquan returned to his private house in Caizhou, he immediately secretly notified his confidant to come to his home to concentrate on the discussion.

After Zhang Yu, Qin Xian, Shen Cong, Sun Ru, Ma Yin, Liu Jianfeng, Xu Dexun and other generals arrived at Qi, Qin Zongquan said, "We were all generals of the Tang Dynasty. Because Meng Kai attacked Caizhou, we couldn't defend Caizhou and had no choice but to decline. Now Chang'an, the capital of the State of Qi, has been occupied by the Tang army. Yang Fuguang is rumored to have sent troops to fight against the Qi army. Although Huang Chao, Meng Kai and other leaders of Daqi are still quite elegant, and there are still 200,000 or 300,000 soldiers to fight against, they are at the end of the crossbow, and they will not be majestic for many days! In order to give everyone a good way out, I have thought about it over and over again. From now on, our Caizhou soldiers will neither help nor Tang. Which side is strong, we will temporarily move closer to. As long as the time is ripe, we will stand up and become independent. In these troubled times, soldiers have the right to speak. As long as everyone firmly grasps the military power, even if the King of Heaven comes, we will not sell the account!"

Zhang Yu echoed, "General Qin is right. As long as we can keep Caizhou's soldiers and let us call our temporary masters a few grandfathers, we are also willing to! To endure humiliation and bear the burden, Goujian, the king of Yue, was defeated by the husband of the king of Wu. He was willing to be the servant of the husband and taste the feces for the husband to show his loyalty! We have now defected to Daqi, be a general of Daqi for a few days, and eat in other people's pots for a few days. That's nothing!"

The generals listened, laughed and agreed with Zhang Yu's point of view.

Only Ma Yin sat in the corner with a serious expression and didn't say a word.

Seeing this, Qin Zongquan's face darkened: "General Ma, why didn't you respond after listening to General Zhang's speech?"

Ma Yin saw that Qin Zongquan called his name and didn't say a few words, so he stood up and said loudly, "I think General Zhang's words are biased! The princes who have achieved great things from ancient times to the present have adopted the strategy of serving the emperor and the people below, so as to promote fewer soldiers, protect the country and the people, and rarely take the initiative to fight diplomatically. Internally, measures have been taken to develop agricultural production, reduce people's taxes, and make the territorial economy prosperous. If, as General Zhang said, find this master today and attach another master tomorrow, it will not be a climate, and sooner or later it will be rejected by the world! If General Qin wants to achieve hegemony, he will either be independent or choose a master. It's really not good for Qin Mu Chu!"

Qin Zongquan listened to Ma Yin's words and suddenly became furious: "Well, Ma Yin, how dare you teach me a lesson. Do you know? I ordered you to wear your general uniform. I can let you wear * military uniforms, and I can also let you take off your general uniform!"

Ma Yin replied lightly, "General Qin used to be the governor of Fangzhen of the Tang Dynasty, but now he is a general with heavy troops in the Qi Dynasty. Naturally, he is a Ma Yin. But people live in the world with their own dignity. What I just said is actually for the good of the generals of Caizhou and the future of General Qin. If General Qin can't get off Ma Yin, he will be disposed of!"

Qin Zongquan listened and became more and more angry: "Ma Yin, you have become more and more conceited recently. Relying on being Liu Jianfeng's beloved general, you are more and more and more presumptuous. Today, you actually taught me a lesson! If I don't punish you today, how can I be the commander of the three armies in the future? Come on, drag Ma Yin out and beat 20 military sticks again! Only when it hurts can you know what the crime is to contradict the coach?"

Several soldiers came forward and pulled Ma Yin to enforce Qin Zongquan's military law. Ma Yin roared, "Don't touch me! I'll go by myself, hum!"

Liu Jianfeng quickly stood up, stopped the actions of his own soldiers, and then said to Qin Zongquan, "Brother Zongquan, Ma Yin is young and angry. Don't take it to heart. What's the matter with this yellow-haired boy? Hasn't he married yet? When he gets married in the future and is cleaned up by a woman, can you see if this boy is still angry? Everyone says, don't you?!"

Qin Zongquan listened and wink at the soldiers, and the soldiers quickly withdrew from the house.

Liu Jianfeng looked at Ma Yin and pretended to scold: "Ma Yin, did you drink too much today? Dizzy?! Do you know that you are the one who is now in the army and the rich life in Caizhou are all given by General Qin. Why don't you go there to compensate General Qin?! The disappointing yellow-haired boy!"

Ma Yin had to put away his resentment, reluctantly walked to Qin Zongquan and said in a low voice, "General Qin, I hope General Qin will forgive Ma Yin's rudeness just now!"

Qin Zongquan looked up to the sky and laughed wildly: "That's right. My men have to listen to me!" Only in this way can Caizhou soldiers gallop around the Central Plains. If I dominate one side and become the emperor, you will all eat and drink spicy food, do you understand?

The generals had no choice but to compete with each other.

Qin Zongquan was full of pride and said loudly, "I order Zhang Yu, Qin Xian and Shen Cong to lead 10,000 troops, station in the water, and respond to Meng Kai's Department of the First Army of Daqi. Remember, if Meng Kai defeats, he will quickly follow Chenzhou; if Meng Kai is defeated, he will continue to station in Boshui and must preserve his strength! Sun Ru, Ma Yin, Liu Jianfeng and Xu Dexun led troops to guard Caizhou and could not let Caizhou fall into the hands of others!"

After learning the news that Meng Kai led the first army of Daqi to attack Chenzhou, Zhao Wei immediately notified his younger brother Zhao Yu, Zhao Yi, his sons Zhao Lu, Zhao Lin, and his confidant generals Li Yu, Tong Bing and others to Chenzhou government office to urgently concentrate and discuss the battle with the first army of Daqi.

After the generals arrived, Zhao Yuyuan opened his eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "Huang Chao regarded Chen Zhoujun as a thorn in his eyes and a meat, and he had to pull out Chenzhou!" This time, Meng Kai captured Caizhou and went out to fight Chenzhou. Gentlemen, don't be afraid. With me, Zhao Xun, I will definitely let the First Army of Daqi come back!"
