Volume 1 The Country Breaks Through Mountains and Rivers Chapter 76 The Story of Wu Meng

Zhao Zhihai was immersed in the compliments of everyone, and couldn't help but laugh out loud in a good mood.

"Hahahaha, you don't have to compliment me so much, Wu Meng, when did you learn badly, I ordered you to go on a northern expedition, but the matter of commanding the battle has nothing to do with me, and Zhao will not rob you of this credit." Hahaha"

Hearing that Zhao Zhihai was not disgusted with what he said, Wu Meng became more confident when he spoke.

"The general taught a lesson, but this second credit belongs to General Wang Min." Speaking of this, Wu Meng turned to Wang Min with a serious face.

At this time, not only Wang Min looked at Wu Meng in some surprise, but even Zhao Zhihai and everyone in the hall were a little surprised.

"Oh, tell me what General Wang has to offer." Zhao Zhihai asked Wu Meng.

"If it weren't for General Wang's bloody battle with the Rong army in Yinyangou for several days, killing a large number of Rong soldiers and pinning down the main force of the Rong army at the same time.

How could our division cross the river to the north safely and fight fiercely with the enemy guarding Qingshui and Qingyang.

Therefore, to achieve such results today, General Wang is really a great contribution. ”

Speaking of this, Wu Meng actually bowed in the direction of Wang Min.

Although Wu Meng, like Wang Min and Zhao Zhiliang, is now also a general, Wu Meng led the army under Wang Min for a long time before the fall of Xiaoguan.

At the beginning, Wang Min also made a lot of matches between Wu Meng's promotion to general, so it is not difficult to understand why Wu Meng gave credit to Wang Min.

That Wang Min is not a person who is wooden, seeing Wu Meng say this, he hurriedly got up, returned the salute to Wu Meng, turned to Zhao Zhihai and said:

"The last general of the battle of Yinyangou was miscommanded, and he failed to recapture Xiaoguan, thanks to the general's heavy weapon, Wang can still sit in this position. One day, Wang led the army to the west, and he was bound to be ashamed.

But this time General Wu's work was made by General Wu in a bloody battle, and Wang Min was really unapologetic, and he never dared to accept this great gift. ”

"Hahaha, General Wang, you don't have to be modest, what Wu Meng said is not a lie, this reconquest of the lost territory will also be counted as your credit.

Wu Meng and Yin Fang were both captains under your command, and now they have been promoted to generals, and you have been in general military positions, you and I have been friends for decades, and I also know that you are not the jealous person, but after that, you still need to help the two of them a lot, so that my Yuanzhou soldiers and horses can become a monolith. ”

When Wang Min heard Zhao Zhihai speak, he hurriedly said "喏" in his mouth, and bowed deeply to Zhao Zhihai, then he turned his head to look at Wu Meng, nodded to him and thanked him, then slowly sat down again, and saluted everyone on both sides who whispered congratulations to him one by one.

I saw Wu Meng continue: "General, everyone, in this Northern Expedition, we were able to kill more than 13,000 people in the Rong army with less than 1,000 casualties, all thanks to a young leader in our Great Qin Army.

Compared with him, I, Wu Meng, can't afford this credit at all. If it weren't for him, I, Wu Meng, wouldn't be able to recover the two cities, I'm afraid I'm still south of Qingshui at the moment, thinking about when the Rong soldiers will go south. ”

Speaking of this, Wu Meng stopped his voice.

After a few breaths of silence in the hall, a sound of surprise suddenly sounded, and everyone turned their heads to each other, because what Wu Meng said was too shocking.

Except for a few high-ranking generals who knew the beginning and end of the battle, everyone only knew that the Northern Expedition army captured Qingshui and Qingyang City, but they didn't know what the process of this battle was.

Wu Meng said that with less than 1,000 casualties, the killing of more than 13,000 Rong troops had already stunned everyone.

This is a siege battle, 20,000 Qin troops went on a northern expedition, against 30,000 soldiers in two cities, and captured the city, which is already a miracle, but Wu Meng said that his soldiers only lost less than 1,000 people.

It's no wonder that everyone in the hall looked incredulous.

But when everyone's eyes looked at Zhao Zhihai, who was calm and smiling, they were immediately convinced that what Wu Meng said was true.

In this way, this battle is definitely enough to go down in the annals of Great Qin, and everyone in the hall is a witness and witness, so everyone's excitement is not enough to express.

Moreover, Wu Meng also said that this battle was not commanded by himself, but commanded by a young man under his command, and he did not hesitate to praise the young man in the sky.

So, who is this person?

Everyone looked for the young man in the hall.

At this time, Zhu Lihua did not squint, forced himself to calm down, and sat behind the case.

After Wu Meng finished speaking, he noticed that Zhao Zhihai, Ma Yuan, Zhao Zhidong, Wang Min, Xie Yun, these people who knew the process of this battle were all looking at him.

Gradually, the sound of whispering in the hall became louder and louder as time passed, and in the end, someone could not bear it anymore and said loudly:

"General Wu, don't adjust our appetite, which general is it, and how did he lead the troops to seize the two counties, General Wu is talking about it."

As soon as this person finished speaking, dozens of voices echoed at the same time: "Yes, General Wu speak quickly." ”

"I'm in a hurry to kill the old man, General Wu will say it quickly."

Seeing that the hall was about to be uncontrollable, Zhao Zhihai nodded to Wu Meng, and Wu Meng raised his hand and signaled everyone to be quiet.

Immediately, he said aloud in the expectant eyes of everyone: "This general is, Zhu Lihua." ”

After speaking, Wu Meng turned his head to look at Lihua who was sitting under him.

For a while, the eyes of everyone in the hall looked at Zhu Lihua, among them, some people had seen this young official in the General Mansion, some had never heard of this person's name, and some people were familiar with Zhu Lihua's deeds such as operating the "upper plan", guarding the wooden deer pass, and rescuing Zhao Zhihai.

Everyone in the hall began to whisper again, and some people who were more familiar with Lihua proudly told others about the past of Lihua.

"I have dealt with the military marquis of Yuli some time, and I saw at that time that this son is definitely not a thing in the pool."

"What's that, I have a close relationship with Lihua, and my cousin sold the restaurant to him when he bought the restaurant last year."

"I am an old friend of his father, Zhu Liying, and I have watched this child grow up since he was a child."

But more people were interested in the fact that Lihua was fighting north of Qingshui, and they wanted to know how Lihua managed to win more with less and suffer little damage.

Wu Meng also knew everyone's thoughts, so he led the troops to his army, and personally led the soldiers and horses of his headquarters to cross the clear water and go north, and put his teeth under the noses of the Rong people. and pretending to attack Qingshui County, and setting up an ambush between Qingshui and Qingyang, and other deeds were told in detail to everyone present.

Even though Wu Meng is not good at words, and he doesn't know how to summarize the vocabulary and highlight the most important things, he is better than being able to tell the things he has experienced in person, which still makes everyone in the hall listen to it with relish.

And when he tells it like this, he can also make everyone feel as if they are in this battle.

In the face of a powerful enemy army, in the face of an unknown enemy situation, everyone kept thinking about what they should do if they changed to what Wu Meng said.

So when Wu Meng told the strategy taken at every step, everyone secretly let out a sigh of amazement, and suddenly there was a feeling of being a bright village.

When Wu Meng said that he led 10,000 horsemen to march in the woods, and watched the chaos caused by the Rong people fighting for property, everyone in the hall showed excitement on their faces.

When Wu Meng told how to attack and defeat the Rong people, how to surround the commander of the Rong army on the mountain, and how to finally launch an attack, causing the commander of the Rong army to flee with less than a thousand people, everyone couldn't help but look at Lihua again.

After Wu Meng finished speaking, bursts of cheers and cheers erupted in the hall.

In their eyes, the story told by Wu Meng is more wonderful than that told by the storyteller in the teahouse, because everyone knows that what Wu Meng is telling is a real story that happened next to him.

Those arranging troops, those who used stratagems to doubt, those who attacked the west, those who threw money and caused chaos, and those ambushes who counterattacked, were all things that the young military marquis beside them did, how could they not be excited and encouraged.

Even Wang Min, Zhao Zhiliang and others who have been in the army for a long time have secretly given a thumbs up to Lihua.

Wang Min suddenly had a word in his heart to describe Lihua, that is, "ghost talent".

He was originally a wise general, and in the process of Wu Meng's words, Fang Cai kept thinking about how to deal with it if he changed to himself, but after listening to Wu Meng's speech, Wang Min himself admitted that it was not much better than what Li Hua did.

No wonder the general would look at this son differently, thinking of this, Wang Min peeked at Zhao Zhihai, but saw that the white-haired superior had a look of relief and pride on his face.

Wang Min's heart sank, and that strange feeling came to his heart again.

Once upon a time, this gratification and pride belonged to me.

"The Marquis of the Legion."

At this time, Zhao Zhihai suddenly called Lihua and said.

Yu Lihua hurriedly got up and bowed to Zhao Zhihai.

"Humble duty."

"Is what General Wu said true?"

"What General Wu said about the war is all true, but the command and planning is not my own work, General Xie Yun and several other military marquis are involved in the planning, and I just say everything I think, not all by myself as General Wu said."

After listening to what Zhu Lihua said, Zhao Zhihai nodded with a relieved face, and he asked Wu Meng and Zhu Lihua to sit down and rest for a while.

Then he turned his head and asked Xie Yun again:

"As General Wu said, when the army pretended to flee eastward, the Rong army had 5,000 cavalry blocking the way back to the camp, and these cavalry were handed over to you and the Marquis of Yuli to drag them down.

But I heard Wu Meng say that when those cavalry were besieged, they didn't send a single soldier to the rescue, why is this? ”

Zhao Zhihai's question, in fact, is also something that everyone in the hall is curious about, it stands to reason that even if the Qin army of nearly 10,000 people can drag the five thousand cavalry of the Rong army, but when the Rong army lord is about to be besieged on the top of the mountain, they will not come to the rescue, which is an unbelievable thing.

And according to Wu Meng, the whole army only suffered less than 1,000 casualties, so how did Xie Yun and Zhu Lihua drag down 5,000 cavalry.

The most important thing is that everyone suddenly discovered that Wu Meng's general Rong army had finished fleeing north, but the five thousand cavalry seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. Since Wu Mengyan said that these cavalrymen were guarding the main route for the Qin army to flee south, they had never appeared again.

So...... Have all those cavalry been wiped out? And there were no casualties in Xie Yun and Lihua's department?

How is this possible?

Many people in the hall thought of this, and their faces showed shocked looks, so they moved their eyes to Xie Yun.
