Chapter 373: Famous General
Seeing that the kings had agreed, Xiao Yuan began to say again:
"After the Bishui Pass is broken, our Qin army will be the first to take the lead, go straight to the west gate of the imperial capital, and launch a strong attack on it!"
"At that time, the Liang army can attack the north gate."
"The Spirit Army can attack the East Gate."
"The Xuan army can attack the south gate."
"This is the preliminary battle plan of the Allied forces, as for the future strategy of using troops, after the siege of the imperial capital, according to the current battle situation, we will make a plan."
"Yes, that's fine." The Spirit King said.
King Liang said: "Even so, the hour is not early, after the business is over, is it time to have a banquet......
"Okay, okay, you should be the same as yesterday, get drunk and rest......" King Huan hurriedly agreed.
The first battle has been decided, and Xiao Yuan has also returned to his seat.
As soon as he sat down, Shangguan Wenruo behind him came up and whispered in his ear: "King, there are millions of allied troops, it seems that there is no problem now, but sooner or later there will be intrigue, if the soldiers are united, Weichen is worried that there will be problems." ”
"You're right, this is just the strategy of the first battle, after recovering the imperial capital, the troops must be divided, otherwise, it is not only a matter of intrigue, but also a big problem of unified command on the battlefield." Xiao Yuan also whispered.
There is no doubt that all the kings are the kings of a country, if at that time, Xiao Yuan ordered the Qin army to attack more than once, but the Liang army retreated with Mingjin next to it, it would be too big a blow to morale.
The only solution was to divide into several fronts, and the kings would fight their own battles and invade the territory of the Yan Kingdom together.
In this way, it can not only effectively divide the Yan army and make it impossible to concentrate its forces, but also occupy an absolute advantage in commanders and generals.
On the side of the allies, if the stars are shining, they can take charge of any one of them, but on the side of the Yan country, it is absolutely impossible to have so many talents.
The five kings met in Bai Ze, and the news had naturally already reached the Yan country, and the Yan king at this time was also urgently summoning Yue Zheng.
Yue Zheng, a famous general of the Yan Kingdom, about forty years old, less in the army, good at riding and shooting, with many military exploits, participated in many battles in the Central Plains, and is a figure who left a heavy pen and ink in the imperial history books.
At this juncture, King Yan summoned him alone, and it was not difficult to see the affirmation of his ability.
In the palace study, King Yan was dressed in the costume of the Son of Heaven, and his face was obviously anxious and uneasy, and he said:
"An edict from the Son of Heaven has attracted the alliance of the Five Kingdoms, which I didn't expect, King Qin is really hateful! And the Spirit King is even more hateful! I strongly supported me as the emperor before, but in the end, I was the first to join the alliance! What a shameless villain! ”
"Your Majesty, when you listened to Lord Xie Liang's advice, you shouldn't have tried for the throne too early." Yue Zheng said.
"What's the use of talking about that now!" King Yan glanced at him angrily: "This battle reminds me of the original attack on Qin by the Four Kingdoms, in the same way, at that time, the King of Qin did not enter the prince, it was a battle for the king of Qin, if this time, I won, this throne will be recognized by the world!" Shang will be removed from now on! ”
On the surface, this is true, but in reality, it is completely different.
Xiao Yuan's position as King Qin, but orthodox, King Yan is now, it is a usurpation, he is condemned as a thief, and he has become the target of public criticism, and no one dares to help him.
Yue Zheng was silent.
King Yan said again: "King Qin can block the army of the Four Kingdoms in front of Shanyu Pass, and I can also block the army of the Five Kingdoms in front of Bishui Pass!" ”
Hearing this, Yue Zheng hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty wants to concentrate all your forces in Bishui Pass?" ”
"That's what I mean!" Yan Wang said simply.
Yue Zheng said: "But Your Majesty, in this way, the country is empty, and the Spirit Kingdom can send surprise troops from the southern front and decide the outcome of a war, with the strategic vision of his commander Huang Zu and his Cheng Ping's strategy, it will definitely be like this." ”
"Furthermore, Bishui Pass can block the armies of the five countries, but the other party is constantly supplied, and the number of troops will continue to surge, hold it for a month, two months? Or a year? In the end, the armies of the five countries gathered more and more troops, and our country still had to lose. ”
"So what do you say?" King Yan glanced at him.
Yue Zheng thought for a while and said: "With an army of 600,000 and an army of one million, although there is a disparity, it is not invincible, now, we do not know the specific route of the coalition army, so we cannot make a comprehensive plan, but Your Majesty, the minister suggests that the imperial capital cannot be trapped, you had better abandon this place and return to the old capital of our country." ”
"What did you say?" King Yan immediately became anxious: "I am the Son of Heaven, how can I leave the imperial capital!" ”
"Your Majesty!" Yue Zheng was more anxious than him: "Such a large-scale battle of a million troops, not the loss of one city and one pond can determine the victory, if Your Majesty does not retreat, with the position of the imperial capital, at that time, if it is surrounded by all sides, it will be really dangerous!" ”
Hearing him say this, although King Yan understood, he still found it difficult to accept: "This matter, Rong Zhen think about it, Rong Zhen think about it." ”
He began to pace back and forth in front of the case, and Yue Zheng did not bother.
After a while, King Yan stopped, looked at Yue Zheng and took a deep breath, and said, "Okay! General Yue's words are like this, I should be you! Listen to orders! ”
"Immediately appoint Yue Zheng as the commander of the whole army of our Yan Army, in order to resist the coalition army!"
"Minister, obey!" Yue Zheng also immediately knelt up.
On the Yan country's side, with Yue Zheng as the commander, he was still planning to defeat the allies.
On the morning of the next day, King Yan also held a grand ceremony to worship the heavens at the altar of the palace.
The scene looks, the armor is all over the sky, the horn sounds, it is very magnificent, the king of Yan is wearing the clothes of the Son of Heaven, wearing twelve crowns, making a serious book, respecting the sky in ancient times, before Yue Zheng led the troops, he personally took the jade cup of fine wine, poured wine for it, and intended to wish victory.
After handing the jade cup to Yue Zheng with his own hands, King Yan said with a straight face: "General Yue, the rise and fall of the Yan Kingdom, I will hand it over to you, and the heavy responsibility is on your side, I, please!" ”
Yue Zheng was moved by such a national gift, and he also knelt on one knee and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, rest assured! Minister, you must live up to your mission! ”
"Good, good! Please fill this cup with the general! ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Yue Zheng raised his head and did it, the attendant handed the tray again, and King Yan picked up the handsome seal tiger talisman and began to hand over Yue Zheng.
Just as the two sides had just finished this, the advisor Xie Liang ran out of the crowd, pushed everyone away, and shouted sadly:
"Surely perish! Surely you will die! ”
You must know that before the battle, King Yan personally served as the commander, and the scene was extremely grand, but Xie Liang ran over to make trouble, it is conceivable that King Yan was suddenly furious, and immediately stretched out his hand and shouted: "Xie Liang!" ”
"Surely perish! In this battle, the Yan Kingdom will die! ”
"If the king recedes from the throne now, there is still room for manoeuvre! Otherwise, my Yan country will be buried."
He beat his chest and paused, King Yan was called the emperor, and the ministers had already changed their names to Your Majesty, but he was still calling the king.
There is no doubt that after hearing this, King Yan was angry, pointed at him and shouted again and again:
"Someone! Drag me down! Drag it out! Go to death row! ”
