Chapter 109: The Battlefield

Jiang Youchun led the troops to retreat to Anyang, and Yelu Chumeng's army was separated from it by a wide moat, and it could not be attacked for a long time, so he let people retreat a few miles back and set up camp, and then think of a strategy. In the past few days, the weather has become colder and colder, and the soldiers have all put on newly issued cotton clothes, and many soldiers have been assigned to the cotton clothes processed by Chen Jia. It was warm and did not affect the activity, and was well received by the soldiers.

"General, there is a sentry brother outside the house who is frostbitten and can't move his legs now." A non-commissioned officer came in to report.

"What? Didn't you get a new padded clothes? Jiang Youchun asked puzzled.

"Yes, but general, this padded suit ......" The non-commissioned officer looked anxious, but hesitated and didn't know if he could say it.

"Say, what's wrong with the padded clothes!" The military order is like a mountain, and Jiang Youchun ordered him to say it.

"General, our cotton clothes, the last batch of generals brought are very warm, but this batch of weaving division sent is inferior cotton, where is cotton in it, as well as catkins and reeds! Some of those who are assigned waist protection can still resist, and those who don't have can only resist hard. After the non-commissioned officer finished speaking, he closed his eyes and shook his head. The people of the weaving department are too dark-hearted, and the soldiers are working hard outside, but they give us such cotton clothes. Alas! ”

Jiang Youchun slapped the table excitedly, it was too hateful.

"Report!" Jiang Youchun was about to speak, and there was a military situation to report outside the tent.

"Come in!"

"General, Cheng's Tofu Workshop in Fancheng sent someone to send condolences, which are cotton clothes for more than a dozen carriages!" The soldier was overjoyed, and he couldn't hide the joy in his words.

"Okay, Chen Jia, good job!" Jiang Youchun didn't feel tears wet his eyes, and he took a deep breath. The law number ordered: "Send someone to send down the cotton clothes, send these inferior cotton clothes back to the capital, and I will write an excerpt." You leave two inferior cotton clothes and send them to the Holy One together! ”

"Yes, General."

"Go and call Cheng Hu over."

Cheng Hu soon arrived at the camp.

"General, the subordinate has arrived, what do you have to order?"

"It's not appropriate for us to keep confronting each other like this, although reinforcements will arrive soon, but we also have to find a way to rub their sharpness." Jiang Youchun frowned. "Keep going like this. I'm afraid our fate is not much better than that of the historians. ”

"General, there has been a thick fog every morning and evening recently, my subordinates think. As they retreated five miles away, can we set up a formation and a trap outside the city tonight, and tomorrow the lower officer will lead a team of men and horses to provoke and lead them into the formation? "Cheng Hu has been obsessed with this since he first came into contact with formation and martial arts. His construction made Jiang Youchun's eyes light up suddenly.

"That's right. As long as there is still a thick fog tomorrow, as long as you can defeat them, you can rub their sharpness. ”

Jiang Youchun decided to lead his troops with Cheng Hu to set up an ambush at night. He wants to set up a canopy formation, except for the way back to the city, everywhere is the door of death, as long as they enter the formation, they will inevitably suffer heavy casualties. You only need to wait for the occasional fish to slip through the net at the birth gate.

"General, tomorrow I have a way to make the fog worse."

"Oh. Really? ”

"That's what Chen Jia taught me, she said that as long as the straw is burned. It is bound to aggravate the dense fog. ”

"Okay, then it's decided, you go and order someone to prepare straw, and burn it in large quantities tonight."

……

Although Jiang Youchun was not very proficient in the Tianmu Array, Cheng Hu also knew a thing or two about the Tianmu Array, and the two of them cooperated and finally distributed the large array in the middle of the night. He also ordered the straw to be burned. For a while, the fog was thick, and by the morning it was already in a state of not being able to see the five fingers.

Cheng Hu took a team of elite soldiers out, a total of 100 people, all he had to do was to provoke, immediately return to the city, he prepared rockets, (the arrows were wrapped in cloth, stained with oil, and then ignited and shot. When they arrived at the camp of Yelu Jincai, the crowd fired rockets. For a time, the camp of Jin'an was in chaos, Yelu Jin was furious, and ordered the general of Jin'an, Situ Brown, to gather soldiers and go to meet the battle, waiting for everyone to chase out, Cheng Hu and his party ran to the city again, Situ Brownyi saw that their numbers were very small, and ordered 20,000 troops to go to chase and kill, and he brought 50,000 horses to retreat. Vowed to kill the sneak attackers.

But what he didn't expect was that in the thick fog ahead, what awaited them was the harvest of life.

As soon as the 20,000 troops in front of the formation got lost, they could not be allowed to retreat, and the people behind squeezed over, so that they could only go forward, into the depths of the formation, and suddenly a part of the trap was touched, and more than 2,000 people who walked in front fell into the trap.

Cheng Hu and Jiang Youchun walked in the formation with swords, as if they were in no man's land, they were slashing and killing while building momentum, and the Jin'an army thought that Shenghe's troops had been killed, and for a time they were all over the field, and it seemed that there were soldiers of Shenghe on all sides, and it seemed that they were around. The soldiers of Jin'an were already unable to distinguish between friend and foe in panic, and they slashed indiscriminately.

Situ Brown Yi saw that there was a thick fog in front of him, but the sound of killing shook the sky, and he hurriedly asked the soldiers to go to reinforcements, and the result can be imagined. In the end, even Situ Brown Yi himself was killed by Cheng Hu and his horse.

At noon, the fog cleared. The moat has been stained red with the blood of the soldiers of Jin'an. The death of nearly 70,000 soldiers terrified Yelu Jincai. This Jin An plays like this, if there is divine help, it seems that it is absolutely impossible to fight quickly. He ordered to retreat thirty miles first, return to the territory of Jin'an to rest, and then make plans.

The danger of Anyang City was temporarily lifted. The news was transmitted back to the capital, and the whole capital was boiling.

Above the main hall, Chu Xiuyu couldn't hide his joy, this victory came too timely.

"Feng Jiang Youchun is the general of Zhenguo, leading the second grade, and Jin Feng Chenghu is the fourth rank of the loyal general!" Chu Xiuyu ordered someone to send the holy decree to the border pass.

Everyone was shocked, Jiang Youchun's promotion to the first level was nothing, but a sixth-rank Wusan person actually skipped from the fifth, fifth, and fourth ranks, and was promoted to the position of the fourth rank in a row, isn't it too incredible?

"Shenghe is at the time of employing people, and Cheng Hu, the general of Zhenguo, has been admitted to Xiucai, and he is proficient in the art of war formation, and his martial arts are extraordinary. I naturally want to reuse it, and I ask all Aiqing not to think about it. "Chu Xiuyu knows what these people are thinking." The envoys of Wuji and Li Shengguo are about to arrive, so let's think about who will receive them and how to receive them! ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers are willing to receive you." Wu Taibao played.

"Oh, how are you going to receive it?" Chu Xiuyu asked.

"Back to the emperor, the ministers will entertain them with good wine and food, let them see how prosperous our Shenghe is, and let them not dare to underestimate it."

After Wu Taibao finished speaking, he looked proud.

"Chancellor!" Jiang Wenhan suddenly spoke, and Chu Xiuyu motioned to him when he saw this.

"The minister believes that the military situation is now suspended, and it is necessary to cultivate friendly relations with other countries, and the minister is willing to receive the two envoys and convince them that peace is the most suitable for the development of the country. In addition, the minister asked the emperor to send another spokesman to Jin'an for peace talks. Jiang Wenhan finished speaking. The entire hall was silent, and even the sound of a needle falling to the ground could be heard.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think?" Chu Xiuyu glanced at it and asked.

"Your Majesty, Lord Jiang is still young and doesn't understand the world, so let's let the old minister come to receive you. It will definitely make the two countries come and return satisfied. Wu Taibao said with a salivating face.

"In this way, Wu Taibao is not in favor of peace talks." Chu Xiuyu's face was expressionless, and he said lightly.

"Exactly, this is the time to raise the prestige of our country, how can we negotiate peace, and if we want peace talks, it should be him Jin Anguo begging us for peace talks." Wu Taibao pouted and glanced at Jiang Wenhan as he spoke, and his expression was clearly Chi Guoguo's contempt.

"Taishi, what do you think?" Chu Xiuyu looked at Jiang Qian.

"Lao Chen thinks that peace talks are the best, and I have not fought for many years, and I have no ambition, so why is it necessary to fight for the people and money? Of course, who will talk about it and how to talk about it still needs to be discussed. Jiang Qian said slowly.

"I think that it is not appropriate to negotiate peace now, and it will be the year of Shenghe soon, and it will not be too late to talk after the end of the year. The envoys of the two countries were handed over to Master Jiang for reception, and I hope you will be courteous. After Chu Xiuyu finished speaking, he announced the dissolution of the dynasty.

……

Chen Jia will pick up Jiang Qiansan every day, and inquire about the dynamics of the court every day, and today he heard that his brother and Jiang Youchun have been promoted, and he is naturally overjoyed.

"The emperor seems to value Han'er very much, when Han'er proposed peace talks today, everyone was shocked, for fear of provoking fire, in fact, peace talks are imperative, the emperor just wants to see who dares to mention it. Unexpectedly, Han'er boldly mentioned it in today's court. Jiang Qian seemed to be very satisfied with what Jiang Wenhan had done.

"Brother Wenhan is right, peace is the best. Naturally, peace talks are also necessary, but the conditions are difficult to grasp, and the peace talks are indeed a problem now, and it would be good if there could be another victory or some chance. Grandpa, it's New Year's soon, can't my big brother and my brother come back for the New Year? Chen Jia asked.

"Jin Anguo didn't let go and said that they wouldn't fight, they naturally had to stay on the border, where could they come back at will. Even the holy decree of the reward was sent directly to the border gate! Jiang Qian shook his head. Sorry for fate, will you accompany us in the Taishi Mansion for the New Year or go back during the New Year? ”

"I think we might be able to spend it together. Grandpa, do you say it's better for us to have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at Taishi Mansion, or to go to Hongyun Restaurant to eat? Don't you know, we have a female chef in Hongyun Restaurant, who is very good at cooking, but she looks fatter, alas, I haven't seen her for a while, and I will go to see if she has lost weight one day. Chen Jia's thinking jumped so fast that Jiang Qian was actually intrigued by what she said.

"Is that really the case? Then let's just celebrate the New Year, and everyone will go to Hongyun Restaurant for the New Year. Just look at the female chef you mentioned, how good her cooking skills are! ”

"That's not blowing!" Chen Jia secretly laughed.

……

After Chu Xiuyu received the two cotton clothes, he immediately ordered someone to open one piece, and the situation inside made him angry! "Is this how my soldiers wear cotton clothes to fight bloody battles?"

"Back to the emperor, some of the soldiers are now wearing the old clothes they brought at home, with the upper waist guard, and nearly 20,000 soldiers are wearing cotton clothes given by Chen Jia, a talented woman in Shengjing. All of these clothes have been sent back to Kyoto. ”
