Chapter 269: Fate
*This book is broken these days.,Crashed many times.,Crazy*
The news of Yanhua's personal expedition soon spread to the capital, and Li You was in a hurry to witness it in person, but fortunately he was dissuaded by Wen Yu and his ministers in time. But the battle ahead has reached a critical moment, Zhirong is not from the army after all, and he doesn't know Yanhua's tactics, so Wen Yu asked for orders to go to Pingyang Pass to assist Zhirong.
Zhirong's perseverance in these days was not in vain, and she created plenty of time for Wen Yu and Li You to rectify the dynasty. Therefore, even if Wen Yu goes on an expedition, he can rest assured of the things in the capital.
"Lord, Grandpa Wen's army has already passed Wanzhou City, and I believe it will be here soon." Shen Qing looked at Zhirong who was deducing in the sand table, and suddenly felt sad in his heart, don't look over.
Since Yanhua's personal expedition, Zhirong has suffered two defeats in a row. These days, only these soldiers know what Zhirong has become. Dark circles, sallow complexion and thin body, even if I sleep at night, I turn over and over, and I keep waking up.
After the two defeats, Zhirong read the art of war book more and more diligently, discussed countermeasures with Shen Qing and others, and only slept two hours a day. I can't stand the iron beating body.
However, Zhirong really had no choice, Yanhua's two consecutive attacks made her suffer, and she couldn't let the morale of the army drop and shake the morale of the army. Therefore, it is necessary to win a battle to stabilize the morale of the army and boost morale.
"Shen Qing, I'm going to the battlefield tomorrow to help me prepare." Zhirong didn't look up, still staring at the sand table for a moment, with a serious face.
Shen Qing looked back in surprise, "Lord." Cannot! The old wound on your shoulder has been terrible these days, how can such a body withstand the toss. What should I do if I have a cold poison attack on my body? "She doesn't care what happens to Jingtang Jiangshan, as long as Zhirong lives well.
"If I am not in the castle tower, the morale of the army must be greatly reduced. Even if I can't beat Yanhua, at least sitting in the army can be regarded as an encouragement to the soldiers. How can there be a reason why the commander has been hiding behind. Shen Qing, invite Shen Heng and a few generals in. ”
Shen Qing knew that she had to do what she was told not to move, and all the generals gathered in the hall, and Zhirong said straight to the point: "Our army has suffered two defeats in a row, and the town that was originally recaptured from Yanfeng has now become the territory of the southern Xinjiang people. The morale of the soldiers has been greatly reduced, can everyone do anything? ”
A veteran of Pingyang Pass shook his head with a sigh, walked out and said, "Commander." I'm also a battle-hardened person, but it's unrealistic to say that I'm not sure about dealing with Yanhua, and you want to take the city back. The two cities were taken from place to place. The people have already withdrawn into Binh Duong Pass. There is really no need to fight for the two empty cities. ”
"Oh?" Zhi Rongyue raised her eyebrows and glared: "What the old general means is that even if I don't have the people of Jingtang in Jingtang Land, I can do without it, so if Pingyang Pass is lost, can I also do without it?" If the people of Jingtang fled to other places, could the land of Jingtang also be discarded? ”
The old general's old face immediately turned red after hearing this, but he was just not convinced. This was the case earlier, and tonight he thought that Zhirong was really deliberately embarrassing him, so he felt blocked in his heart.
"Commander White. You obviously can't beat Yanhua, what's the point of saying this. I'm old though. I will also use my life to protect Jingtang, and he Yanhua will step on my corpse after thinking of Pingyang Pass! It's just that I don't know if Commander Bai at that time ran back to the north or returned to the southern frontier? ”
As soon as he said this, the scene suddenly became cold and abnormal, and everyone in the generals present knew that Zhirong had prestige in the north, and he had been married to Yanhua by Li You. If Jingtang is broken, others will not have a way out, but Zhirong has a choice. Coupled with the unclear relationship between Jin Zixuan and her, everyone muttered in their hearts.
Zhirong coldly swept over each general, and saw that there were two people who had lost confidence in themselves like this old general, and even looked at themselves with a contemptuous look, those two were the sons of the two concubines of the Murong family, although they were concubines, they led the troops very early, so they also had a relatively high status in the Murong family.
Thinking of what she did in Jingtang, these two people must have hated themselves to the core. It's just that some time ago, she had been restraining Yanfeng and keeping Pingyang Pass, so they had nothing to say, and now this situation just made them express their dissatisfaction.
These two people originally led their private army in the capital to do not do good deeds, and they had to provoke the Wen family everywhere. They also followed when they came out this time, so the private army of the Murong family and their henchmen still obeyed these two. It seems that this time there is finally a chance to truly weaken the power of the Murong family.
"Generals, in fact, I called you here to discuss important matters. Pingyang Pass cannot be lost, you must know it. Not an inch of Jingtang's land can be lost, this is the emperor's entrustment before leaving! Who dares to say that losing the city is disobeying the emperor's order! The morale of the army still needs to be stabilized by a general, so the two cities must be recaptured. The two Murong generals are the glory of the Murong family, and they have led troops for many years, and they have more experience than me, and it is not difficult for the two of them to think that the two empty cities are not difficult. ”
"Empty city? Although there are no people, the southern Xinjiang army is still guarding the city, how can it be said that it is an empty city? ”
Zhirong waved his hand, and Shen Heng stepped forward and took out the latest military report: "The spies just came to report, there are not many defenders in those two cities, and there are only 3,000 soldiers in each city, which is very easy to break." ”
"However, if the Yanfeng army finds out, we will have no place to die!"
Zhirong nodded and shook his head: "Ben Shuai naturally thought of this, and the two of you think about it, who is Yanhua coming to?" It's just that he wants to take my head, and then pass Pingyang Pass, those two cities are just to give me a dismount, his troops tomorrow must be concentrated outside Pingyang City, and he won't care about those two cities, he can't capture Pingyang Pass and lose the city, won't the morale of our army come up? In the future, the two official titles will be crowned as the first achievement! ”
The best temptation for the children of a big family is the official lord, no matter how good they are and how talented they are, it is difficult to have a title because of the identity of the concubine. So Zhirong threw out this temptation, of course, she was not lying, but the premise was that they had the ability to go back alive.
"Don't worry, you two, I will shoot and reinforce after you send troops, if the southern Xinjiang army makes any moves, the reinforced army will outflank them behind, even if it can't damage the southern Xinjiang army, it can give them a heavy blow!"
The two men looked at each other, their eyes flashing. With the official lord in the Murong family, he can have the same status as his concubine in the future, and he no longer has to be bound by the status of the concubine. The temptation is indeed great.
"You two can think about it carefully, if you don't want this opportunity, I'll send someone else."
"We ...... Let's go! ”
Zhirong nodded slightly, and secretly mocked in her heart: Bai Zhirong, when did you become so shameless.
After everyone retreated, Zhirong told Shen Heng to watch the old general, and tomorrow he asked him not to be stupid to save him if he found something wrong.
Chunhua had already prepared bath water for Zhirong and put some medicinal herbs to make a medicinal bath. Zhirong half lay in the bathtub and gently rubbed his shoulder, which was the place where Yan Hua was stabbed last time, and the hideous scar was clearly visible, like a thorn in his heart that had not been removed for a long time.
Yanhua, tomorrow I will finally fight you to the death, this is your fate and mine! (To be continued......)
