Chapter 62: The War of Nations (5)

In the conference hall, when Rong Yan said this, his tone couldn't help but increase:

"Everyone already knows that this battle is extraordinary, it is our Yan country, and we will face hundreds of thousands of coalition troops from the five countries of the Central Plains. This battle was an unprecedented battle. ”

The generals in the hall were in a commotion after hearing Rong Yan's above words.

After a few moments, all the generals in the hall calmed down.

Raising his head, his eyes were blazing at the Rong Oyster sitting on the main seat.

Rong Yan is very satisfied with the performance of the generals. As soon as he looked at the eyes of the generals looking at him, he knew that none of the Yan army generals in the hall were timid, but revealed a picture of an eager battle.

Rong Yan stretched out his right hand, smiled, and said to the generals in the hall:

"Generals, you have always been clamoring for war, for a big battle. Now the opportunity has come, this duel between my Yan Kingdom and the Central Plains Five Nations Alliance Army is a big battle related to the fate of all my Yan troops and even my Yan Kingdom. ”

"Here, I can tell you that in this war, according to the king's edict, all the army and navy of my Yan Kingdom, including a part of the reserve army, will be involved in this war."

Speaking of this, Rong Yi stood up.

He bowed to the north with his hands in fists, and said to the generals in the hall:

"Generals, Ben is here, and I want to convey to you that at this time, the king will give you a few warnings."

The generals in the hall stood up together, bowed to the north with their fists folded, and said in unison:

"I'll listen to the king's edict."

Rong Yan put down his hands and said to the generals:

"The king said to the generals: First, this is a big battle related to the life and death of my Yan country, and the big war will last for several years, generals, you must be fully psychologically prepared."

"Second, the king wants the generals to tell the officers and soldiers of the whole army that only by fighting to the death and the spirit of the horse leather shroud can we win this battle and stop the enemy army outside our Yan country."

"For this reason, the king asked us to tell all the officers and soldiers that the addition of officials to the knighthood is here to fight, and the feudal marquis is also here to fight. As long as the battle is won, the king will not hesitate to reward; However, if anyone neglects military orders, fights passively, and delays the warplane, the king will not hesitate to kill, causing harm to his family. ”

Hearing this, the generals in the hall said in unison: "The last general will not dare." ”

Rong Yi nodded and continued to say to the generals:

"Generals, the king asked the general to tell you one last that you don't have to worry about the supply of the army and the supply of grain, grass, military supplies and other logistics. No matter how much you lose, I will make up for you. ”

"The king also said, you don't have to worry about your family, when the war is underway, all the soldiers who participated in the war, double the salary, will be personally sent to your family and dependents by the local government and even the gold bank."

After listening to Rong Yan's words, the generals said in unison: "We will obey the king's edict and fight bravely to kill the enemy." ”

Rong Yan waved his hand and asked the generals in the hall to sit down.

Then, he turned his head to look at Wang Shi, the general beside him, and said to him:

"General Wang, I won't say more. You are the commander of Jixi, so tell me about the upcoming war in Jixi. ”

Wang Shi stood up and saluted Rong Yan with a fist:

"Generals, according to the deployment of our army, our Jixi army consists of the Third Army of the Army Hu Guiliang, the Third Army of the Navy led by Zhang Tian, including a reserve army from Liaodi, with three armies and more than 100,000 people."

"The enemy army we are going to face is the 100,000 Zhao army led by the world-famous Zhao veteran Lian Po. Now, the 100,000 troops of the Zhao army have gathered on the Great Wall in the south of Zhao, adjacent to the land of Jixi. ”

"According to the judgment of our army and the information from the Zhao State, it is very likely that the Zhao army led by Lian Po will attack our Gaotang City, intending to occupy our Gaotang City and cut off the connection between our Yan Kingdom and Qi Land. We must not be careless about this. ”

"As for the veteran Lian Po, I won't say much here. When the generals present in the hall were studying at the Command College of Xiangping Academy, they were very familiar with General Lian Po's tactics and achievements. ”

The generals in the hall burst into laughter.

Wang Shi also laughed, and continued to say to the crowd:

"What I'm here to tell you, no matter how powerful Lian Po Lao Er. I will break his teeth and cut off his arms in Jixi, so that he will return to the land of Jixi. ”

Immediately, Wang Shi came to the map hanging in front of him and took a baton from the wooden frame next to him.

Then, knocking on the map, he said to the generals:

"According to the deployment of the military department, we will wait for the army in Jixi, focus on defense, and do not take the initiative to attack the Zhao army. The Third Army of the Navy led by Zhang Tian is stationed in Gaotang City, and I will also personally garrison Gaotang City. ”

The reserve army from Liaodi was deployed in the area of Xinyi and Fancheng at the southwest end of Ji. The main army that covers the front of our Emperor Hill and responds to our Jixi armies. ”

"General Hu Guiliang's Third Army is a rapid strike corps in our Jixi Army, deployed in the Liaocheng area. When the Zhao army attacked our Gaotang, the Third Army was on standby at any time to contain the enemy. ”

Wang Shi, the general of Yan State, said that the veteran of Rong Ma's life, Lian Po. At this time, in the handsome tent, he also leaned over and concentrated, looking at the map unfolding on the desk.

The 74-year-old veteran Lian Po is a native of Kucheng, Zhongshan (now Xingyi Town, Dingzhou City, Hebei Province).

In the fifteenth year of King Huiwen of Zhao (284 BC), the famous general Le Yi served as the prime minister of Yan and Zhao at the same time, and Lian Po cooperated with Le Yi to lead the Zhao army, united Qin, Han and Wei, and formed a five-nation alliance to attack Qi, defeated the Qi army, and occupied the Tang Dynasty.

However, the famous battle of the veteran Lian Po was in the 32nd year of King Zhou (283 BC), when he led his troops to attack the Qi State, won a great victory, and captured Yangjin (now southwest of Yuxiang Town, Yongji County, Shanxi), and was named Shangqing by King Zhao.

Subsequently, Lian Po led the Zhao army, brave and resolute, and repeatedly made military exploits, and was famous in the Central Plains.

Its "harmony" similar to Shangqing Lin in Zhao State has made him famous all over the world.

Regarding Zhao Guo's joining the coalition army of Fa Yan, Lian Po himself was extremely worried in his heart. Zhao Guo and Yan Guo are adjacent to each other, and Lian has a deep understanding of the development of Yan Guo over the years.

The veteran Lian Po deeply knew that the Yan Kingdom at this time was no longer the Yan Kingdom that Zhao Guo despised and looked down on before. It is a large country in the Central Plains with a vast territory and a large population.

Since the rise of Yan Wang Kang in Liaodi, the changes in Yan can be described as changing with each passing day.

At this time, Lian Po's deputy general Qing She entered the tent and reported to Lian Po:

"General, our army is ready to go, and tomorrow we can leave the Great Wall and attack Jixi."

Lian Po looked up at Qingshe and said:

"General Qingshe, this time you led the troops into Jixi, do you know what to do?"

Qingshe clenched his fists and said to Lian Po: "Old general, please rest assured, the last general knows." ”

Lian Po nodded and said to Qingshe:

"General Qingshe, this time you sent troops to Jixi, but to confuse the army of the Yan army. Don't go too far into the land of Jixi. If the Yan army does not come to attack our army, you will lead the army to advance slowly; If the Yan army attacks our army, you should lead the army to withdraw quickly. ”

Qingshe bowed and said, "Old general, the last general understands. ”

Lian Po laughed, tapped the map with his hand and said:

"Our army released the news in advance, just to make the Jixi Yan army think that our army is going to attack Gaotang. Where do they know? The direction of our army's attack is not in Gaotang! ”
