Chapter 664 Dumbfounded Zheng Chengwen

"Gyeongju Castle fell!"

Wu Zhugu frowned tightly in the silver account.

Three days ago, Zheng Chengwen took a team of cavalry out from Juyongguan and came straight to the silver account of the Golden Horde. He needed to tell Wu Shugu the news.

At that time, King Liang sent an envoy to the capital of the Golden Horde. As one of the envoys, he and Wu Shugu had some interactions at that time.

"The news is absolutely true. In Yunzhou City, King Qi's army defeated the coalition of the three kings, and then they entered the country of Liang like a broken bamboo." Zheng Chengwen's eyes wandered.

Wu Shugu squinted at Zheng Chengwen, he snorted and said, "If that's the case, why didn't you tell me the news earlier, I'm afraid you have a ghost in your heart and want to replace King Liang."

Zheng Chengwen was caught up in Wu Shugu's words, and he was stunned for a moment. He was about to defend himself when Wu Shugu suddenly said, "You don't have to explain, it doesn't matter who the King of Liang is to our Golden Horde, but It's enough to be obedient."

Zheng Chengwen was overjoyed when he heard the words, he said: "Taiji, King Liang has always been obedient to Taiji, but I have a sincere heart for Taiji."

Wu Shugu nodded slightly, and he said, "This King Qi seems to be a serious trouble for my Golden Horde's confidant. If it wasn't for the Japanese attacking Goryeo at this time, it would have been destroyed with all the power of the whole country."

Zheng Chengwen said: "Taiji said very much, but now that King Qi's army is not stable, it is too late."

Wu Shugu frowned, "It's just that Father Khan doesn't want to fight on two fronts. Even if you support you, you can only send 30,000 cavalry and 70,000 slave soldiers. Only when the war in Goryeo is over can we concentrate on dealing with King Qi."

"Taiji, it's just that at that time, I'm afraid that King Qi will also destroy King Zhao, and no one will be able to help Taiji." Zheng Chengwen was a little anxious.

When he came this time, he thought that the Golden Horde would be able to send troops to help him retake the city of Liang, so that he would be the king of Liang.

After all, now that the city of Qingzhou has been broken, the life and death of King Liang is unknown, and the second prince died in battle. In this Liang land, he is the only one left to inherit the throne.

"What you said makes sense, but Bentaiji has nothing to do now, and the troubles of the Japanese state are just around the corner. This is a provocation to the khanate. Father Khan is furious, but at this time, he can't care about King Qi, and these soldiers are also What Father Khan prepared for you and King Zhao, there is really nothing else left." Wu Shugu said.

Zheng Chengwen was extremely disappointed. At most, these soldiers were enough for him to defend Juyongguan.

Seemingly seeing Zheng Chengwen's thoughts, Wu Shugu said, "These troops are for you to guard Juyongguan. When the war in Goryeo is over, I promise to lead the army to destroy King Qi."

Zheng Chengwen sighed in his heart, and that's all he can do now. He said, "I only hope that Taiji can lead his troops to come soon."

Wu Zhugu nodded.

Zheng Chengwen didn't dare to stay any longer, and after saying goodbye to Wu Shugu, he hurried back to Juyong Pass, but when he arrived in front of the pass with the troops supported by the barbarians, he immediately died for examination and approval.

At this time, Juyongguan was still a soldier of the Liang Kingdom. It was clearly the army of King Qi in green uniforms. It was only six or seven days that Juyongguan had changed hands.

"Give me back Juyongguan!" Zheng Chengwen scolded, he did not expect King Qi's army to take Juyongguan so quickly.

However, the only answer to him was the roar of artillery.

At the same time, Niu Ben also arrived at Juyongguan.

He was ordered to come to supervise the battle, and he never thought that he had just arrived in Qingzhou and learned that King Liang had been captured, and then he hurried to Juyongguan.

Because Lu Fei immediately led his army to attack here.

Entering Juyongguan, Niu Ben immediately felt a pre-war tense atmosphere. The people in and out of Juyongguan were all in a hurry, with worried expressions on their faces. There was not a single merchant on the street. The alley appears.

"The general's chariots and horses are exhausted, you must be tired, let's go to the camp first." Lu Fei said with a tired look on Niuben's face.

Niu Ben shook his head and said, "No, the battle is urgent, how many barbarian soldiers have come from outside the city."

"General Hui, according to the identification of the soldiers in the city, this person is Zheng Chengwen, the guard of Juyong Pass. This time, he is estimated to have brought soldiers and horses borrowed from the barbarians. The number is about 100,000, including 30,000 cavalry and 70,000 slaves. soldier."

Juyongguan is the northwest gateway of the Great Yu Kingdom. Between the territory of Liang Kingdom and the Golden Horde, there are many mountains around Juyongguan, especially on the side adjacent to the plateau. of the throat.

The construction of Juyongguan is also based on its military characteristics. It sits in the south and faces the north. The north wall is thick and high.

During the conversation, the two arrived at Xicheng. There were obviously more soldiers here, and they were very busy. They were constantly traveling, carrying ammunition and carrying stones. Soldiers abound.

Ye Qingyun said at this time: "It is thanks to the Yong army that we can successfully take Juyongguan this time. Chen Xinran also led the troops to take down the last city of Liang Kingdom with us."

Hearing this, Niu Ben showed an expression of admiration, and he said, "I didn't expect that King Yong would have a valiant general."

"This Chen Xinran is a talent." Lu Fei did not deny it.

The three of them arrived at the main camp, and in front of them was the city wall.

The city wall of Juyongguan is not high, only about 12 meters. It is made of bluestone, but it looks very strong. Walking up the two-meter-wide stairs to the city tower, Niu Ben's field of vision suddenly appeared green grassland.

Not far from the pass are the free barbarian cavalry and barbarian slave soldiers.

Picking up the binoculars and looking at the barbarian soldiers not far away, Niu Ben observed for a while and said in deep thought: "Don't worry, these are not the elites of the barbarians, the emperor really has a clever plan, the barbarians are not willing to fight on two fronts now, so the cavalry they sent are not elites. "

Lu Fei and Ye Qingyun also breathed a sigh of relief. He said, "General, the soldiers have been fighting hard for several months, and now they are extremely tired. It is time for the soldiers to repair for a while."

Niu Ben understood what Lu Fei meant. The problem brought about by continuous hard fighting was the soldier's war-weariness, which needed to be vented through grooming and relaxation.

After pondering for a while, he said to Lu Fei: "Go and collect the Yanchen women from Liang State, pay them some money, and let them sing a song for the soldiers, but don't force them, so as not to corrupt the emperor's reputation."

Lu Fei suddenly kept his eyes open. Not to mention the soldiers, he also felt that he was in a irritable mood during this time. This was all caused by the depression of the war. It was naturally wonderful to have this pleasure.

So he was naturally happy to carry out this matter, so he smiled and said, "General, do you want to pick a top card for you?"

"Go away." Niu Ben glared angrily, "I'm not going to ask people to find someone for something under the bed. If you come here, let's see how I'm going to deal with you!"
