Chapter 386: The time is not as good as the place
In just one night, the news that the Fengjia army was going to send troops to start a decisive battle with the puppet Qi rebels again spread throughout the entire ** military camp, including not only the Feng family army camp, but also Li Jian's Li family army and all the rest of the **.
The people who were almost divided into three factions reacted very differently to this, and after the news came out, the morale of the entire Feng family army suddenly increased a lot, and even when they usually walked around in the barracks, they held their heads high, eager to erect their waists higher and straighter!
And Li Jiajun's reaction was a little flat, although Li Jian had already released the news that he would fight side by side with the Feng family's army, but most of the soldiers were indifferent to this, except for a few of the elites, most of the rest had a flat attitude, as if this matter had nothing to do with them at all.
And the biggest reaction was not actually the Feng family army, but the rest of the leading generals sent to the front line by the Jiedu envoys, who were originally held together and formed their own faction, and when they heard the news, they gathered in the big tent of a certain general to talk coldly. The left sentence does not know the height of the sky, the right sentence does not know the depth of power, this sentence is arrogant, and that sentence is carried away. One by one, they couldn't wait to spit out all the derogatory words they knew in their minds to modify what Lin Feng had done.
And even more than their reaction, that is, the puppet Qi rebels in Fengzhou City, after receiving Uncle Li's handwritten battle letter, Huang Chao was even angrily kicked over the 'dragon case' in front of him on the spot, and scared a group of musicians and dancers who were playing music and dancing to kneel on the ground, and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.
However, this time, Huang Chao did not punish them, but ordered them to retreat quickly, and then summoned all the generals under his command, laughed impudently and conveyed Uncle Li's battle letter to everyone.
"Haha! Is this amusing us? Shang Rang, the general under Huang Chao, suddenly stood up and laughed, and then smiled at Huang Chao and his other generals: "**This is simply looking for death!" With the current morale of our army, as long as you dare to come out to fight, you can kill them and lose their armor, or even retreat another sixty miles! Ha ha! ”
"That's what General Shang said! This is a joke! ”
"That's right! Kill them and return to Hanzhong! Ha ha! ”
"Sixty miles? It's so easy! If you want me to see, at least let them retreat another hundred and twenty miles! ”
Shang Rang, as a powerful general under Huang Chao, since Zhu Wen's rebellion, Huang Chao has felt that his situation is unfavorable, so he transferred Shang Rang, Yang Neng, Huo Cun, Ge Congzhou and other generals who have been fighting for many years with him to his side. Perhaps in Huang Chao's consciousness, only these people can give him some confidence when he is by his side. However, everyone did not disappoint Huang Chao, the decisive battle half a month ago, it was planned and successfully implemented by these old subordinates, although they paid the price of tens of thousands of people, but they repelled more than 60 miles, and also robbed enough grain and grass for more than half a year.
In the face of everyone's laughter, Shang Rang was also quite proud in his heart, and bowed his hand to everyone one by one, which was regarded as a courtesy reply.
Seeing that the generals under his command were high-spirited, Huang Chao's heart was much more steady, in his opinion, as long as the soldiers were willing to use their lives, they would definitely be able to win the battle. This truth has been summed up by Huang Chao for many years, and over the years, it is indeed the case, every time he goes to a city, almost all of them are broken with a drum, even Tongguan, which is known as the first pass in the world, and Chang'an, Kyoto, which is known as the first pass in the world, have not escaped under the attack of their entire army.
However, Huang Chao was still a little hesitant in his heart, after all, after the last battle, in addition to those soldiers who died on the battlefield, even if you add those spineless ** soldiers who surrendered, the total strength of his side is less than 300,000. Coupled with the people assigned to Liangquan County to garrison, there are only more than 200,000 people in Fengzhou City at this moment.
"Does the emperor still have any concerns? Promise them yes! Although Shang Rang is also on the rise now, after seeing that Huang Chao was a little worried, he still asked softly.
"General Gao Jun, generals!" In front of many subordinates, Huang Chao was still reluctant to show his sorrow, and after stretching his brows, he put his arms in front of him and pressed them down, and waited until everyone stopped discussing the issue of 'sixty miles' or 'one hundred and twenty miles', and then asked with a chuckle: "Everyone also knows that the strength of our army is not too concentrated now, if 150,000 troops are dispatched at once, is it too hasty?" ”
"Your Majesty! The last general thinks that 150,000 is just right! Ge Congzhou, who was the main force in the last battle, got up from Zhou, first saluted Huang Chao respectfully, and then said his reasons: "The last general thinks this is an excellent opportunity!" In this decisive battle, ** will definitely send the only remaining main force out! And our army just took this opportunity to defeat all the main forces of ** in one fell swoop, and at that time, as long as our army rested a little, it would be able to wave its troops straight down to the capital of Shannan Province! As long as the Hanzhong Mansion is taken down again, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty will not be able to jump for a few days! See where he can run away! ”
"Your Majesty! The last general also agrees with General Ge's statement! Yang Neng, who came out to echo him, was Yang Neng, who cooperated closely with Ge Congzhou in the last battle, and then, Yang Neng glanced at Ge Congzhou, who was smiling, and continued to add with a smile: "Even if the main force is the main force in this battle, our army is not afraid!" In terms of the morale of our army at the moment, it is a lot higher than **! As the saying goes, the time is not as good as the location, and the location is not as good as the people! Under such circumstances, the emperor should conform to the will of the army, directly wave 150,000 troops, and annihilate ** in one fell swoop! Since then, there has been no one in the world who can match us! ”
"Good, good! Well said! Hearing this, Huang Chao was immediately overjoyed, paced back and forth a few steps, stretched out his hand and pointed to Ge Congzhou and Yang Neng, who had just been straight to the advice, and praised: "A good day is not as good as the location, and the location is not as good as the people!" So! I also think that I should send 150,000 troops! Save haggling with ** and let them underestimate our army! ”
"That's right! What the emperor said is very true! Yang Neng hurriedly took two steps forward and slapped his ass fiercely: "The emperor is wise and martial!" Even if our army sends 150,000 troops, there are still tens of thousands of soldiers in the city! If you have some kind of idea, it's enough to resist! ”
"Yes, yes!" Huang Chao smiled and nodded, and suddenly felt that he was a little worried just now, after all, there are still tens of thousands of people in the city, even if he wants to play any tricks, it is impossible to end his lair in a short period of time. Thinking of this, my heart suddenly brightened, and as soon as I straightened up, I was about to start arranging troops.
At this time, Shang Rang, who Huang Chao relied on the most, suddenly stood up, saluted Huang Chao with a fist, and said to stop: "Your Majesty! The last general felt that this matter was a little strange, and it seemed that there was something wrong with sending 150,000 people to fight a decisive battle again. ”
After saying that, Shang Rang raised his eyes slightly and peeked at Huang Chao's expression, after all, Shang Rang understood that since the person in front of him ascended the throne, he has become more and more brutal, and his temper is even more unpredictable, and he will order beheading at every turn, and if it is a little serious, it will be to destroy the family.
