Chapter 231: The Lord and the Ministers (1st Update)
Five days later, Liao Sui guarded the mansion.
"Report, Gongsun Duqin led the army less than two miles away from Liaosui City, the army stretches for a hundred miles, and the cavalry is endless" A herald rushed into the hall nervously and reported loudly.
"Sure enough, it came"
"Faster than expected"
"Deputy Marshal, give the order!"
The generals of Liaoxi, who had already prepared, immediately looked at Yan Rou on the main seat, and they were all high-spirited.
Yan Rou smiled coldly, glanced at Xu Shu, and after seeing the other party nodding lightly, he immediately stood up and said in a loud voice: "All the generals will follow me to meet the enemy, and I want to see how powerful this king of Liaodong is."
"No!!"
When Yan Rou and his generals came to the city wall, they saw that the soldiers of the Liaoxi Army had already taken their places, rolling wood, stones, and the twenty most dazzling cupola cannons were placed on the side of the city wall, ready to attack the invading enemy at any time.
After waiting for a while, the sound of heavy footsteps suddenly sounded from a distance, only to hear the piercing horn after the sound of the horn, a group of Liaodong soldiers swept from afar like a huge torrent, gathered into a strict huge phalanx, the banner rolled over the clouds, the cold light flashed and covered with snow, the sword stood in the sky, the momentum was magnificent, and when I looked up, I only felt the black pressure on a piece, as if there was no end, like a dark cloud to swallow everything in an instant.
Liaodong's 100,000 army came, such a huge number, suddenly made the soldiers at the head of the city a little nervous, one by one instantly clenched the weapons in their hands, the feather arrows had been wound, and the boulders were immediately placed on the cupola cannon, and the rolling wood was ready to be thrown down at any time.
Gongsun Du, the king of Liaodong, can still maintain his independence under the two generations of heroes of Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao, which is by no means an ordinary quilt.
I saw that under the dazzling handsome flag, a golden king armor, Gongsun Du Jia Ma with a sword hanging from his waist appeared in front of him, and the generals gathered next to him, like the king of the ancients, looking extremely majestic, and his eyes seemed to be flashing with purple light, full of luxury.
"That's Gongsun Du," Yan Rou said to Xu Shu next to him.
After Xu Shu frowned slightly, he noticed the apprehension of the generals around him, suddenly smiled slightly, and asked Zhao Yun, "Zilong, how is this Gongsun Du?" ”
Zhao Yun was stunned for a moment, but still replied honestly: "Although he is over half a hundred years old, but looking at this momentum, it is really extraordinary, no wonder he can dominate Liaodong, deter foreign races, and achieve the cause of kingship."
"Haha, then what do you think of him compared to Master Hou?" Xu Shu asked again.
Hearing this, the other generals of the Liaoxi Army were also curious, they have been guarding Liaoxi, although they have surrendered, but they have never seen the Hou Ye who has been sitting in Guangyang.
"He's not as good" Zhao Yun replied immediately without the slightest hesitation, his face looking very firm.
"Why?" A smile appeared at the corner of Xu Shu's mouth.
"One: Hou Ye has great ambitions and has the heart to win the world, but his grandson Du has a strong army, but he only seeks a corner of peace, and in terms of pattern, he is more than a step behind; Second: Although he is extraordinary, Yun is a person who practices martial arts, and the domineering spirit of the Hou Ye is far better than him, the outer temperature and the inner hegemony, which is in line with the monarch's appearance; Third: Hou Ye sits high in the temple, does not move at all, the fierce generals under his command are like clouds, the strategists are like rain, just a Gongsun Du is not even qualified to fight with Hou Ye head-on, he is not on the same level as Hou Ye in terms of strength, and fourth: Hou Ye has a noble status, the fourth world and the third duke, the Son of Heaven is personally named An Youhou, regardless of fame, family, Gongsun Du is not a step behind, even in these four aspects, Gongsun Du is far inferior to Hou Ye" Zhao Yun said with great admiration.
"Haha, Zilong said it well, how can Master Hou be comparable to his grandson" Yan Rou praised loudly.
The other generals also nodded heavily one by one, a trace of pride appeared on their faces, this is the so-called lord and arrogance, Yuan Xi is stronger than Gongsun Du, they have a natural advantage in their hearts, and their eyes have changed from equality to looking down, and the fighting spirit in their hearts is stronger.
Xu Shu also showed appreciation on his face, and said sincerely: "Zilong, the general is also"
"The military advisor has won the award, Yun just said what was in his heart," Zhao Yun replied with a calm face.
After Xu Shu smiled, he said with a serious face: "Generals, although Hou Ye did not send reinforcements this time, but the trust in my Liaoxi Army is unimaginable, Hou Ye's letter has already said, all military deployments are handed over to the deputy marshal, no need to be in the Shangyu, this is trust, absolute trust, Liaoxi Army is the most powerful army in my Youzhou, take Liaosui, it's nothing, defeat Gongsun Du, sweep Liaodong, in order to match the prestige of my Liaoxi Army, all are Hou Ye must go out of the city for ten miles, to meet the triumph of the generals"
"Defeat Liaodong" Hearing this, one of the generals immediately shouted excitedly.
"Defeat Liaodong"...
The huge shout quickly spread above the city wall, resounding in the sky, shocking the Liaodong army in the distance.
A trace of surprise flashed on Gongsun Du's face, looking at the Liaoxi Army, which was suddenly extremely high, and praised: "It is worthy of the Liaoxi Army led by Yan Rou, in the face of the arrival of my 100,000 army, the morale can still be so strong."
"Master Hou, the last general is willing to lead the army to the city," a tall general immediately asked.
"Don't worry" Gongsun Du smiled faintly, rode out, under the protection of the four generals, came to the area less than three hundred meters away from the city gate, looked at the proud figure directly above, and said loudly: "General Yan Rou, I will give you a chance, if you retreat and leave now, everything will be treated as if nothing happened, but once a certain attack enters Liaosui, you will definitely kill all your Liaoxi army, and no one will be left."
"Hahaha" Hearing this, Yan Rou suddenly burst out laughing, and the more she laughed, the louder she laughed, with a thick contempt in that laughter.
Gongsun Du listened calmly, but his brows twitched slightly.
"Gongsun Du, you take yourself too seriously, what are you, but you took advantage of the temporary turmoil in the Central Plains to create a foundation, if you stay in Liaodong honestly, you may be able to spend your old age in peace, but you don't know whether you are alive or dead, you will definitely send your head to the front of the Hou Ye" Yan Rou replied disdainfully.
"Presumptuous" Hearing this, several generals next to Gongsun Du immediately shouted angrily.
When Zhao Yun heard this, he immediately swept to the side, and in an instant, the four feather arrows shot under their horses' feet with great precision, only to see Li Fei and the two brothers Li Shang appear in front of them with a cold face.
"What qualifications do you have to bark in front of my deputy marshal of Youzhou, Gongsun Du even communicates with the deputy marshal, it is his honor," Zhao Yun shot back coldly.
"You!" The generals were furious, but when they saw the feathered arrows under their feet, their faces were still a little afraid.
After Gongsun Du glanced at Zhao Yun, he suddenly laughed, looked at Yan Rou who had the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and said with appreciation: "Okay, you are worthy of being the deputy marshal of Youzhou, then we will decide the victory on the battlefield, Yan Rou, your head, it will be decided."
"Mutual mutual friend" Hearing this, Yan Rou responded with a cold look in her eyes.
When Gongsun Du returned to the formation again, he looked at the tall Liaosui City, waved his hand lightly, and waved the flag.
"Offense"
"No!"
I saw that dozens of war drums of the Chinese army suddenly beat together, and suddenly rumbled like thunder before a storm and rolled in mid-air.
As the war drums sounded, the 100,000 Liaodong soldiers instantly shouted as if they had been given a dose of stimulant, like thunder.
"Fight!" Seeing this scene, Yan Rou waved his hand and ordered in a calm tone.
"No!"
With the sound of war drums, the two phalanxes in front of Liaodong immediately broke away from the main formation, about 5,000 people, shield soldiers covered the soldiers holding cloud ladders and hitting wood, and rushed towards Liaosui City fiercely, and the huge Liaosui offensive and defensive battle officially began.
