Chapter 346

The next day, the sun was shining early in the morning.

The northern military camp and the Chinese army's big tent have a serious atmosphere.

"Your Majesty, the general, the scouts in front have come to report, and Huiqiang has gathered a large army and is coming towards us."

Dou Ba lifted the curtain of the tent, walked through all the deliberations, civil and military, and walked to the huge screen-like map, and knelt down on one knee to Emperor Zhengcang, who was standing with his hands, and Zhenguo Zuo Yuanfeng, who was staying by the emperor's side.

Emperor Zhengcang was obviously stunned when he heard this, turned around, and said to Dou Ba:

"Is that true? How many Huiqiang came? Who is the leader? ”

Seeing that Zuo Yuanfeng was also taking a step towards his side at this moment, Dou Ba said loudly:

"Back to the emperor, the people who led the army have not yet been known, but the scouts are still exploring the front line, but the number has been determined, and there should be more than 10,000 people."

Emperor Zhengcang nodded when he heard this, turned his head to Zuo Yuanfeng and said:

"General, at this time, Huiqiang came to attack the city, what does the general think?"

Zuo Yuanfeng thought for a moment and said:

"Your Majesty, whether you attack the city or not, you can't make a conclusion yet. Because the number of Hui Qiang who came this time was less than 10,000, and as far as our army was concerned, the provocation was not enough, so how could we talk about attacking the city? However, the enemy's intentions are unknown, and who is leading the army has not yet been known, so we cannot take it lightly. ”

Emperor Zhengcang nodded, then looked at the group of civil and military officials standing in front of him, and asked:

"Everyone, Aiqing, but you also have ideas?"

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that what the general said is good, but the minister doesn't think he needs to care too much about sending troops to attack."

As soon as Emperor Zhengcang's voice fell, he saw a person flash out of the crowd and stepped forward and said in a respectful voice.

Zuo Yuanfeng also looked over, and saw that the person who spoke was his old acquaintance, Liu Heng, the squire of the military department, so he glanced at Emperor Zhengcang, and when he saw Emperor Zhengcang nodding to himself, he stepped forward and said:

"Since Lord Liu said so, do you have other opinions?"

Liu Heng nodded, and then said:

"Your Majesty, the general, and Weichen are not questioning what the general just said. It's just that Weichen felt that Hui Qiang's coming this time was just trying to call for a battle, and he didn't really want to compete with our army in front of the formation, and of course he didn't have any plans to attack the city. Weichen felt that there was no need to send a sergeant to fight under the city. ”

When Zuo Yuanfeng heard this, he saw that what Liu Heng said was quite in line with what he thought, so he glanced at Emperor Zhengcang and the other civil and military forces, and said to Liu Heng with a smile:

"Lord Liu might say something more detailed?"

When Liu Heng saw this, he knew that Zuo Yuanfeng's thoughts were probably the same as his own, but he thought that Emperor Zhengcang and other colleagues didn't understand, so he nodded and said:

"Your Majesty, all the lords and generals, in fact, this matter is not difficult to analyze. The actual total number of soldiers in our northern army, which has now been assembled and can be used, has already exceeded 120,000, and when I returned to Qiang, it was only 70,000 when I used the strength of the country. Your Majesty, you must also know that if it weren't for the strange bloodthirsty and crazy soldiers in Huiqiang, and the fire and thunder that came out of nowhere to attack our army, it would not be enough to confront our army at all. ”

Emperor Zhengcang and Zuo Yuanfeng stood in front, and the other people in the big tent of the Chinese army all nodded when they heard this, and whispered to each other, Liu Heng saw this, so he raised his voice a little and said:

"Ahem! In this case, no matter who leads the army in Huiqiang today, the number is only 10,000, and when Vice General Dou Ba reported to the emperor, he did not say anything else, which means that the 10,000 army of Huiqiang did not carry any siege equipment, otherwise in terms of large siege weapons such as trebuchets alone, the number of 10,000 people must be excluded from soldiers such as carrying vehicles and equipment, and the difference in number is too great. Therefore, when Hui Qiang came this time, he definitely did not have any plans to attack the city. General Fang Cai Zuo also said that the 10,000-strong army of Huiqiang was not enough to provoke in front of our army, so how could we talk about attacking the city? ”

Zuo Yuanfeng nodded when he heard this:

"What Lord Liu said is exactly what the general meant, but what the general wondered was that the last sentence that Lord Liu said, why didn't he send soldiers to the city gate to meet him?"

I only heard Liu Heng explain:

"Your Majesty, General, colleagues, we already knew the tactics and strategies formulated by the Emperor and the General yesterday, don't we want to issue a war letter to that Hui Qiang today?"

Zuo Yuanfeng was slightly stunned when he heard this, and immediately looked at Emperor Zhengcang, and when he saw Emperor Zhengcang looking at Liu Heng like Emperor Zhengcang, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he knew that Emperor Zhengcang must be concerned at the moment, so he said:

"You go on."

Liu Heng nodded, pondered for a moment, and then said:

"Your Majesty, General, ladies and gentlemen, in fact, this matter is not difficult to understand. Everyone should already know the plan of the emperor and the general, and want to fight to the death on the battlefield after the war book is issued, after all, the repeated battles not only consume troops, but also pay attention everywhere, always care about when the Huiqiang army will use fire and thunder on our army, so the best way is to be able to decide the victory in a battle, and not give the Huiqiang army any room to breathe. Therefore, Weichen felt that at this moment, it was a good time to write a war book. ”

"It turns out that they don't know what we're doing with the war letter!"

At this time, in an inconspicuous corner of the Chinese army's big tent, Deng Si'er, who was dressed in black, whispered to the white-clothed Zuo idiot beside him.

Zuo Idiot is still wearing a hat at the moment, although the place where the two of them are standing at the moment is inconspicuous and inconspicuous, but in the end, the identity and outfit of the two of them are slightly abrupt in the Chinese army tent at this moment.

However, everyone had obviously been distracted by the words of Liu Heng, the squire of the military department, at this moment, and no one looked at the two of them.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, Zuo Idiot nodded and whispered to Deng Si'er:

"Of course, the emperor's personal expedition at least stayed in front of everyone, there were many generals and more than 100,000 soldiers guarding his side, and everyone saw that the emperor insisted on doing so, so it was just a matter of not blocking it. If they knew at this moment that the emperor was taking advantage of the war book to attack the west, where would they be willing to let the emperor be in danger? ”

Deng Si'er also nodded when he heard this:

"You're right, if the emperor really dares to say the original thing at this time, I guess I will be able to see the legendary feat of 'admonishing with death'."

Seeing that Deng Si'er was a little inconsequential, Zuo Idiot couldn't help but lower his voice and said:

"Not being afraid of life and death is to take into account the overall situation, but if anyone does this, not only shows his loyalty, but also highlights his detachment of character, how can you be so lightly described in your mouth, and you can't understand the meaning at all?"

Deng Si'er pursed his lips when he heard this, but didn't dare to push back, but asked instead:

"You say, why did Lord Liu say that now is a good time to write a war book?"

I saw that the left idiot looked at Liu Heng among the crowd without looking back, and said lightly:

"Listen well."

Deng Si'er couldn't help but roll his eyelids at Zuo Idiot, in the end he was obedient and serious.

Deng Si'er looked at Liu Heng, the squire of the military department, and listened to him speak, while casually touching his arms, but he was suddenly stunned and said secretly:

Oops, I forgot to return the burned ancient book to Senior Brother Wang yesterday! (To be continued.) )
