Volume 1: Young Ambition, Showing Strength Chapter 15 The king's heart is unpredictable, and he is ambushed in the first battle

"I've already conveyed the operational deployment in three days, generals, do you have anything you don't understand?"

At this moment, except for King Guhong and Xu Lin in the council hall, all the generals above the Chinese army were ordered to participate, but there was only one special identity, which made everyone very puzzled, it turned out to be a starter, and this person was Qingcheng.

When Xu Lin went to summon Qingcheng just now, he was learning about the situation of pirates with the garrison of Linhai City, and suddenly received such an order, even he was very puzzled. This kind of military meeting, Qingcheng has not participated in it with his father before, but it was different at that time, he was the young marshal of the Qingcheng Army.

In addition, when he first met King Guhong, his attitude was obviously not like Qingcheng, or he didn't like the people of the Duan family at all, so at that time, Qingcheng thought that he would not be able to get out of the Wanli army. But he didn't want King Guhong to ask him to come to such an important military meeting this time, and a discerning person could understand at a glance that this was a heavy Qingcheng, and it seemed that there was a momentum to change his mind.

However, in the eyes of the wind, there is another way to say this. "The weasel gave the chicken a New Year's greeting, but he didn't have a good heart." However, Lei Ying thinks that although King Guhong doesn't like Qingcheng, he may not change his mind for a while, but he has worked with Qingcheng's father Duan Feiyan all the year round, and he will not be ignorant of the latter's military talents, and the tiger father has no dogs, so it is not difficult to think that Qingcheng will also be an excellent general.

To put it simply, Lei Ying also didn't think that King Guhong was changing his mind, but he felt that the defeat of Zhenhaihou was undoubtedly a challenge for him, and Wan Li's army was scarce in the jackpot, so although he didn't like it, King Guhong would never let such a good seedling in Qingcheng not use it.

However, Qingcheng didn't think about it so much, in his opinion, Mu Huang's vanguard battalion was bound to become the first army to charge into battle, although this was a great opportunity to make contributions, but the pre-war preparations could not be sloppy. And if you can get in touch with high-level meetings and understand the strategy of the whole army of Wan Lijun, this is definitely a good thing.

So here he came. However, the eyes of the people around him made Qingcheng very helpless, and as far as he estimated, some people would even think that they were in the wrong place......

Now that Xu Lin finished talking about the strategic deployment, almost everyone had no objections, except Qingcheng, whose brows were furrowed. Because Xu Lin mentioned just now that in the attack three days later, the first vanguard army was the garrison army of Linhai City. This made Qingcheng very puzzled.

Seeing that everyone was silent, King Gu Hong looked around at the changes in the expressions of everyone present, looked carefully, and naturally captured the difference between Qingcheng and everyone, snorted quietly, and after a moment of silence, he said: "This Haichuan bandit trouble has been in trouble for nearly four months, and the defeat of Zhenhaihou can be said to have shocked the government and the opposition. Therefore, this king just said that in the battle after three days, he must win a great victory before he can withdraw his troops. ”

"The last general commands!"

The generals had no objection to Xu Lin's combat deployment, and the cannon fodder was not any of them, so they naturally doubled their confidence and echoed in unison. Seeing that Qingcheng still looked thoughtful, King Guhong coughed lightly and asked, "Qingcheng, do you have any objections?" ”

King Gu Hong's address to Qingcheng and the tone of his voice obviously changed, which was felt by everyone present, but only Xu Lin seemed to be surprised, and the others were very puzzled. And at this moment, listening to King Guhong ask about himself, Qingcheng hesitated again and again, and said: "Back to the prince, the young general's deployment of Xu Shuai is meaningless. ”

Although Qingcheng said that it was meaningless, his tightly knit brows were still hanging there, and King Guhong naturally saw it in his eyes, and said with a chuckle: "You, the first time you participated in the military meeting of the Wan Li Army, you may not be used to it, just get used to it slowly." This king sees that you have been frowning, you must have something to say, right? It's okay, just say it. Your father is in the marching formation, that is a well-known talent, you have been in the army since childhood, I believe you have learned a lot, but you can't hide your private interests for this king, hehe. ”

Hearing that King Guhong's attitude towards his father seemed to have changed a lot, Qingcheng smiled bitterly in his heart, and at the same time secretly thought: Slowly adapt? Can I participate in such meetings after co-authoring?

"Back to the prince, Xu Shuai's deployment is precise and thorough, and the young general does not have any objections", after hesitating, Qingcheng still said: "There is just one thing, the young general is unknown, so he takes the liberty to ask for advice." The garrison of Linhai City has experienced successive defeats, low morale, plummeting combat strength, and many wounded and disabled, so why should they be the vanguard of the attack? ”

Hearing that Qingcheng really asked about this, King Guhong fell silent and had no expression on his face. At the same time, the atmosphere in the conference hall also cooled down instantly, because all the generals present knew that Qingcheng's question and the answer were actually understood, but no one dared to ask, and no one would ask.

"Hmph, this king doesn't believe you Duan Qingcheng doesn't know why. This kind of simple way of using soldiers, everyone understands that it is to let them be cannon fodder, you just want to ask, hum, just like your old man, you have to pretend to be a good person, and in the end it is not you who suffers, and what benefits do you get? ”

Qingcheng's question really shouldn't be asked, so he hesitated. However, after entering the city, he has been learning about the situation of the Haichuan bandits from the garrison army in Linhai City, and at the same time, he has also grasped the damage of the former, which is why he has this question.

"The garrison army in Linhai City can no longer fight, but this Mu Wang Ye will not listen to me, speaking of which, his attitude towards me has finally changed, I should not touch his moldy head at this time, but, but looking at those wounded soldiers, and thinking of the little soldier who died earlier, I can't let them go alone."

This is the person of the Duan family in Qingyu City, who loves the people like a son, and does not hesitate to die without sacrificing a life. But just like Qingcheng thought, he was indeed touching the mold of King Guhong. However, just when everyone thought that King Guhong would definitely be angry with Qingcheng, the former actually chuckled lightly and didn't seem to be angry.

"Qingcheng, you really didn't insult your father's reputation, it's good. This king will arrange it in this way, and naturally it has a useful intention. Let the people of Linhai City go into battle and charge again, just to make an appearance, so that they can save some face when they report their battle exploits in the future, so as to save them, you should understand what this king means, right? ”

Listening to King Guhong's words, Qingcheng really mistakenly thought that he had good intentions, and he looked suddenly enlightened, clasped his hands into fists, and said, "The prince is righteous!" The young general is ignorant, speculates vainly, and asks the prince for forgiveness. ”

Looking at Qingcheng's appearance, King Guhong shook his head helplessly, thinking in his heart that people like Qingcheng could only cooperate if he said this, and felt helpless, but he seemed to have the intention of carrying it, so he was not angry, but after Xu Lin retreated left and right, he personally helped Qingcheng up, showing great importance, which made Qingcheng very surprised.

"Qingcheng, do you hold a grudge against this king's attitude towards you before?"

"The prince has the grace of knowing Qingcheng and gave Qingcheng the opportunity to join the army, Qingcheng only has gratitude in his heart, and he will never dare to complain."

Listening to Qingcheng's words, King Guhong smiled with satisfaction, pulled him to his seat, the two of them sat down, and King Guhong said: "You also understand that your family has suddenly encountered a big disaster, and everyone involved is implicated, so you just arrived in Wanli Army, and this king has no choice but to suppress you, so naturally it is for others to see." But this king knows that you have the ability and blood, and he knows that you are not angry in your heart and want to clear your grievances. Okay, this king should do his best to help you, you just have to let go of your hands and feet. ”

Listening to King Guhong's earnest tone, Qingcheng didn't care whether he was winning people's hearts or revealing his true feelings, he felt on one knee and said, "Thank you, Lord Wang!" Qingcheng had nothing to repay, so he charged into battle and defeated the enemy. ”

King Guhong, what's wrong? Let's sell it for the time being, it's just that at this moment, he really has the heart to support Qingcheng. Now he helped Qingcheng up again, and said with a chuckle: "You, why do you have to see the outside like this? This king and your father have been friends for many years, and they are your elders, so they will only be a family in the future, and they don't have to be polite. Okay, you go back first and prepare for your life, and three days later, you will go into battle with this king to watch the battle, and you will definitely see the flaws of the Haichuan thieves and defeat the enemy with one blow. This first skill, you can't let others snatch it, hehe. ”

After leaving the council hall full of confusion, Qingcheng didn't care about the transformation of King Guhong, so he ordered the wind to rectify the 1,000 vanguard army on the spot, and at the same time took the thunder shadow to investigate the information on Haichuan's side. It's strange to say, after arriving in Linhai City, Mu Huang rarely showed up, and every time he saw her, Qingcheng felt that she seemed to have run out of the city, and he was very puzzled. However, in this way, the thousand soldiers and horses under her command were completely handed over to Qingcheng for control.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and according to the plan, Daqi once again launched an attack on the land stronghold of the Haichuan pirates. In the past three days, Zhenhai Hou sent dozens of scouts to investigate the movements of the pirates, and only then did they find this stronghold of theirs.

This is a mine, the environment is open, and it can accommodate a large number of people, but it lacks bunkers and barriers, and it is not easy to guard. However, it can be seen that it seems that Haichuan did not take the army of Daqi seriously.

However, on the Daqi side, this time it is indeed inevitable. According to the meaning of the Lone Hung King, at least all the pirates here should be annihilated, and their ships should be destroyed, and at the same time, their sea movement routes should be asked to provide favorable information for the next naval battle.

At noon on this day, the Great Qi army under the leadership of King Guhong and Zhenhai Hou went to five miles outside the mine, according to the intelligence, the pirates were mostly asleep after drinking at this time, and in line with the idea of defeating the enemy with one blow, King Guhong and Zhenhai Hou chose this time to attack after discussion.

I saw that the Marquis of Zhenhai took the order of King Guhong, and quietly leaned towards the gate of the mine with the only 5,000 garrison troops under his command who were not yet injured and disabled. The right vanguard of Wan Lijun led the pioneer battalion to approach from the side road to support the Marquis of Zhenhai. And King Guhong and Xu Lin, plus Qingcheng, who was specially approved to watch the battle, found a high point in the distance and observed carefully.

Just when the Marquis of Zhenhai was about to sneak attack the gate of the mine, suddenly, a continuous shout sounded on the high ground of the mine, and at the same time, countless pirates poured out, and drew bows and arrows, launching a rapid offensive against the Marquis of Zhenhai.

Looking at the sudden scene in front of them, almost at the same time, Qingcheng and Xu Lin blurted out a sentence......

"The news leaked."
