Such a bloody scene seemed to be expected by Ning Xianghou, only to see that his face was very calm, he gently raised his right hand, and waved, as if he had already prepared for the future.

I saw that suddenly two thousand-man teams also came out from both sides of the Jinyang army, but the amazing thing was that these two thousand-man teams did not carry weapons, but each of them was wearing a big bag, and the contents were heavy, I don't know what it was.

Although Zhu Ziwu has not yet figured out the situation, years of feeling have made him realize that the situation is not good.

Sure enough, at this moment, the two thousand-strong teams suddenly attacked, and quickly built a barrier, and then, the raging flames rose, and quickly formed a wall of fire.

The two thousand elite cavalry of South Vietnam suddenly saw the flames rising in front of them, and the war horses were frightened and scurryed around, but in the case of high-speed charge, they suddenly couldn't stop, so many of the war horses were directly burned into fireballs.

Zhu Ziwu was frightened, but Ning Xianghou's face remained calm, and from this alone, the difference in the level of the two main generals could be seen.

The opportunity on the battlefield is fleeting, of course Ning Xianghou will not miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I saw him wave his big hand, and 20,000 Wu Dewei changed their previous defensive position and dispatched on all fronts.

South Vietnam was originally adopting an attack formation, but it never expected that Ning Xiang Hou would have such a commanding art and quickly and methodically change the formation of the army.

In this way, the South Vietnamese army was caught off guard, and Zhu Ziwu's troops collapsed on all fronts.

The Marquis of Ningxiang did not give up, led the army to cover up and kill, and slashed and killed it quickly.

But Ning Xianghou also knew that now he only brought 20,000 pioneers forward, and the South Vietnamese Army had more than 100,000 troops, and he was definitely not an opponent, so after taking advantage of it, he also withdrew his troops.

In this battle, the Marquis of Ningxiang won more with less, led 20,000 Wu Dewei, defeated Zhu Ziwu's army, annihilated more than 20,000 enemies, and greatly frustrated the spirit of the South Vietnamese army.

It is also by virtue of this battle that the name of Ningxiang Marquis is even more famous all over the world.

However, Ning Xianghou also clearly realized that the South Vietnamese Army originally had 160,000 troops to participate in the Northern Expedition, although more than 20,000 people were lost in this battle, but the main force still existed, and the 80,000 troops in Ningxianghou's hands were still in absolute weakness.

As a result, the two sides fell into a stalemate phase.

…….

Jinyang Palace, Warm Heart Palace.

The expression on Emperor He Muhan's face changed with his gaze, and when he saw the last sentence, a faint smile finally appeared on his face, and he sighed: "This imperial brother really didn't disappoint me... This battle was really well fought. ”

But Mu Baichuan, the right minister on the side, was not worried, and pondered for a long time, and said: "The left minister is now victorious, relying on the power of this battle, it can indeed hold out longer, but South Vietnam now has 140,000 troops, and my Jinyang front line is insufficient, and the South Vietnamese army is now in the hands of the elite of my Jinyang. ”

He Muhan glanced at Mu Baichuan, he knew that this old man was the minister of the old city to seek the country, so saying such a thing, although it sounded a little alarmist, it was indeed very reasonable, so he turned his head and fell into contemplation.

Mu Baichuan continued: "The minister has a way..."

Hearing this, He Muhan immediately raised his head, what he was most satisfied with about this old man was that he was not only able to ask questions, but also to solve them.

Mu Baichuan's voice was steady, but the coherence was extremely clear: "In the opinion of the minister, the national strength of my Jinyang Dynasty is far superior to that of Nanyue, this time in order to resist the Northern Expedition of the Nanyue Army, my central court has sent several waves of troops to resist the enemy, but among those vassal states, except for the Northern Yan Kingdom, Fengyun Cavalry has served some forces for Jinyang, and the other lords are all sitting on the wall and watching, which is really undeserved." So I have two strategies, two prongs, maybe I can defeat the South Vietnamese army as quickly as possible. ”

Because Mu Baichuan never said big things, he often acted first and spoke last, and rarely said such absolute words.

Therefore, hearing these words made He Muhan even more interested, and his speech sped up, "Master Mu, please speak." ”

Mu Xiangye said: "The first strategy has also been talked about before, but this time it should be more authoritative, Your Majesty, you directly decreed that the four major vassal states, except for Yan, each country will send 30,000 troops, so that it is an army of 90,000, go south and join the Marquis of Ningxiang, and work together to quell the rebellion." ”

Seeing that He Muhan was still pondering and did not express his position directly, Mu Baichuan continued: "The Marquis of Ningxiang now has an army of 80,000, even if these princes and lords actively cooperate, a total of 170,000 troops, which is comparable to the South Vietnamese army, and there is no absolute chance of victory. Therefore, this requires the second strategy to encourage non-governmental group training. ”

As soon as the words "encourage folk group practice" came out, not only He Muhan, but also the ministers in the entire Warm Heart Hall stared at He Muhan, as if they were surprised by these words.

Wei Zhengxun, the left minister of the imperial court, who had been in a state of closing his eyes and recuperating during the discussion, also opened his eyes wide at this moment and looked at Mu Baichuan, but he was not in a hurry to speak.

Mu Baichuan didn't seem to be affected by the change in the atmosphere in the Warm Heart Palace, and continued: "My Jinyang is a vast land, and the population is more than ten times that of Nanyue, and many talented people are actually willing to serve the imperial court, but for various reasons, there is no way to serve the country, and encouraging non-governmental group training can maximize the power of the people. Moreover, I got the latest news, the ambition of the South Vietnamese wolf, fully prepared for this Northern Expedition, there will be a steady stream of recruits on the battlefield, so I Jinyang encourages civilian group training, as long as the civilian armed forces are loyal to Jinyang, we will make full use of it, especially those areas that have been captured by South Vietnam, and give full play to the people there to resist South Vietnam, which can get twice the result with half the effort. ”

Hearing Mu Baichuan's words, the high-ranking officials present did not rush to express their positions, but waited quietly, and for a while, the entire Warm Heart Hall was unprecedentedly quiet.

At this moment, several coughs sounded, and Wei Zhengxun, the left prime minister, who had not spoken, spoke.

Wei Zhengxun's hair was already pure white, and his two eyes were deeply sunken, but he released a stream of fine light. He is the father of Wei Zhen, the favorite concubine of the Wenzong Dynasty, when he was the left minister, he has been up and down for decades, he is old, his voice is old, he speaks with a breath, and there are pauses from time to time, but the house is full of high-ranking officials, and they all listen attentively.

Wei Zhengxun seemed to be merciless at the beginning, and said lightly: "The old minister thinks that it is okay to let the vassal states send troops, but it is inappropriate to encourage civilian groups to practice, cough cough, it is very inappropriate." ”

He Muhan pressed the back of the chair, and he had already heard that for this major decision, there was a huge disagreement between the two pillars of the imperial court, the left and right ministers of the imperial court.

Wei Zhengxun's words were not finished, and his lips moved again.
