Chapter 318 The Battle of Xingzhou (1)

In Wang Zhaoyuan's residence, Kong Mingyue couldn't get out of bed. Fortunately, there was a maid serving her, otherwise she wouldn't know what to do.

"Madam, it's time to have a meal."

The maid Xiaoyun came in with a bowl of porridge. There were few grains of rice in the clear soup and watery land. Next to it was a piece of pickled vegetables. Song, the mistress of the royal family, looked down on her, so she was very harsh on her.

"Xiaoyun, eat, I'm not hungry."

Kong Mingyue really had no appetite. At this time, she felt as if she was about to die, and she couldn't feel hungry. She didn't have any strength on her body, and she didn't even have the strength to get up.

"Madam, you just gave birth. You are weak and need to take supplements. But there is really nothing to eat here. You should drink this bowl of porridge first. Even if you don't eat it, your child will have to eat it!"

When talking about the child, Kong Mingyue seemed to have recovered some strength, looked at the sleeping baby next to her and nodded.

Xiaoyun fed Kong Mingyue a little bit, but before he could drink a few sips, Wang Zhaoyuan suddenly walked in and frowned when he saw this scene.

"Why do you eat this? Mei Er just gave birth and needed to nourish her body."

When Xiaoyun heard this, she was about to speak when she heard Kong Mingyue say, "I asked for it. I really don't have much appetite, so I want to eat lighter."

Kong Mingyue's tone was very light, as if it was true. Wang Zhaoyuan said with some heartache: "How can this be done? Come on, kill a chicken for the second wife to replenish her body. No matter what, she is also my Wang Zhaoyuan's woman!"

As soon as these words came out, Kong Mingyue looked at Wang Zhaoyuan in surprise, then withdrew her gaze, drank the remaining porridge in two mouthfuls, and let Xiaoyun retreat.

"Your husband hasn't come to see me for a long time, why did you remember today?"

Wang Zhaoyuan's old face turned red. He didn't want to come. It was because he really didn't want to let the tigress at home, and the court was busy.

"I'm busy with state affairs. Mei'er is so smart, so you should know how hard it is for me to work in this position."

Kong Mingyue sneered in her heart, but there was still a faint expression on her face. Maybe she saw her enemy or maybe she drank porridge. Her strength recovered a little, and she picked up the child and she cried silently.

Some men are most disrespectful to women crying, but Wang Zhaoyuan is like this. When he saw Kong Mingyue crying, he immediately walked up to hug the mother and the other two.

"Mei'er, why are you crying? Stop crying. I'll see you often in the future. You are weak now and can't be too sad.

Alas, you don’t know anything. Now I am really unable to do anything. The Song army is in a hurry. Your Majesty sent me to take charge of this matter. I am worried about this matter now. I have neglected Meier and hope that you don’t blame me.”

Wang Zhaoyuan looked worried about the country and the people. Kong Mingyue felt disgusted when she saw it, but when she heard that Song State sent troops, her heart couldn't help but move.

"Who is the general who led the troops?"

"I heard it was Zhao Kuangyin."

"Why is it him..."

Wang Zhaoyuan looked at Kong Mingyue and asked tentatively: "Can Meier recognize this person?"

Kong Mingyue shook her head and then said, "I have never seen this person, but I have heard of some things about him. When Guo Hao was not the emperor, there was a group of brothers. This person's prestige was second only to Guo Hao, and he was both civil and military. Don't underestimate the enemy."

Prestige is second only to Guo Hao, which is normal. His ability is second only to Guo Hao. Wang Zhaoyuan nodded when he heard this and knew what Kong Mingyue should know.

"Since that's the case, what strategy does Meier have to deal with the enemy?"

Kong Mingyue looked at Wang Zhaoyuan after hearing this and said to himself: Aren’t you comparing yourself to Zhuge Liang? Why did you ask me at this time?

But then I thought about it and Kong Mingyue realized that this was an opportunity, an opportunity to make Wang Zhaoyuan pay attention to her.

"Know yourself and your enemy, and you will win every battle. Guo Hao and his brothers were all rare generals at that time. They were all brave and good at fighting, and they could not be regarded as fierce.

Zhao Kuangyin will definitely bring elite soldiers and strong generals when he goes to the battle this time. We cannot fight him head-on, and we need to give full play to our advantages!"

Kong Mingyue has been traveling around the world over the years and has been thriving with her daughter's salt gang. In addition to observing her words and expressions, she also knows many tricks and ways to survive...

...

In the Song army camp, Zhao Kuangyin was leading the generals to discuss strategies.

"Look at Shu, the mountains are high and the waters are deep and dense, and the forests are crisscrossing. If we want to enter Shu, we can move forward from both water and land.

But our warships are not enough at present, so we need to speed up the construction of warships and train naval forces.

Moreover, it is difficult to travel between the mountains and forests, so it is necessary to make a cart to transport food and grass. These preparations must be done in advance. This is the first battle since Your Majesty ascended the throne. We are all your Majesty's confidants. We must show our might and show everyone in the world!"

Wang Quanbin, Liu Yanrang, Yang Ye, Pan Mei and other generals were ready to fight. They had been idle for too long and finally had this opportunity, so they all secretly cheered and planned to conquer Shu Kingdom in one fell swoop!

...

The Song army was preparing in full swing, and the Shu Kingdom was not idle either. In order to resist the Song army, Meng Chang ordered Wang Zhaoyuan to be the commander-in-chief of the north camp and Zhao Chongtao to be the chief of the capital, leading 30,000 troops from Chengdu to the north, guarding Lizhou, Jianmen and other important places;

In addition, Han Baozheng and Li Jin were appointed as the chief and deputy recruiting envoy, leading tens of thousands of troops to Xingyuan to strengthen defense in the north; in the east, Gao Yanqi, the governor of Zhaowu, and others were still guarding Kuizhou.

At this time, the Song army was about to arrive in Fengxiang, and Xingzhou was ready. The guard general Han Bao was stationed in Xingyuan County, with more than 20 cities in front of him. It was not easy for the Song army to enter Shu.

The Song army had to pass two passes from north to south to enter Shu from Xingzhou.

One is Langshui, which is the Jialing River. The main stream in Xingzhou is the narrowest part of the river, and the widest part is 60 meters.

The second is Jiling Mountains. The highest altitude of the mountain range is more than 2,000 meters, and the lowest is more than 500 meters. It can be said to be two natural barriers.

With such geographical advantages, coupled with more than twenty-sized and small cities in the mountains, it is indeed not easy for the Song army to enter Shu.

Before this, Rongcheng sent a gift bag, which stated some disadvantages of the Han army, such as their water quality was not very good, and their physical strength would decrease when fighting on the mountain.

These were all thought of by Kong Mingyue, and were shamelessly stolen by Wang Zhaoyuan, with the purpose of encouraging the morale of the Shu army and not being afraid.

At the same time, Kong Mingyue also mentioned that the Han people were afraid of spicy food and they could not eat many crops in Shu. Although chili had not been introduced to China at this time, there were many irritating plants in the local area.

So the Shu army made many "biological and chemical weapons" and planned to spread them in water sources and air, and also set up ambushes by the water, waiting for the Song army to take the bait.

There were not many Shu troops in Xingzhou, only five thousand people, but these five thousand people were distributed in various cities and villages, and they were all ready to deal with the enemy.

Wang Quanbin led the army to the Jialing River. Looking at the wide river surface, he couldn't help but frown. Looking across the river, he found nothing unusual.

But the general's intuition told him that there was definitely something wrong here, so he sent a warship to explore the way, and the warship quickly fell across the river.

A group of soldiers got off the boat and began to search nearby. Wang Quanbin looked at them in a flash and saw the soldiers entering the woods by the river and returning for about a stick of incense.

The white flag raised three times, indicating that there was no problem. Looking at the flag slogan opposite, Wang Quanbin breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand and ordered to cross the river.

It was evening at this time, it was already dark, and the water on the river under the moonlight was rippling. I just took the opportunity to touch it, and I didn't know it.

But he did not see the small dots in the water, slowly approaching their warships!

As the warship was launched, Wang Quanbin planned to build a floating bridge across the river, but the ship in front began to leak before it reached the other shore!

Although the Song army also had soldiers who knew water, they were scared in the river at that night. With two dull sounds, another boat leaked!

"There is a water ghost!"

Not only did anyone shout, the Song army was in chaos immediately, Wang Quanbin thought it was not good, and immediately asked someone to ignite the torch, and then he saw the figure under the water through the fire.

"Don't panic, it's not a water ghost. There are people underwater. Each unit is ready to fight and bring arrows!"

When Wang Quanbin shouted, his subordinates also shouted that the Song army was well-trained and settled down quickly.

Wang Quanbin saw a shadow, and with an arrow, a touch of red appeared, and then a person floated up.

The soldiers then confirmed that it was not a water ghost, but a Shu army!

"I knew something was wrong. The Shu army would not be so honest. I didn't expect it to be hidden in the water. Brothers with good water nature went into the water and caught them all for me!"
