Chapter 45: An Epistle
As expected, in the afternoon, a large number of enemy spies came around the camp.
However, there are also some anomalies.
For example, the number of spies far exceeded Yang Mu's expectations, in addition to the scouts, there were hundreds of ordinary soldiers!
This shows that the number of garrisons in Anluo City is very likely to exceed expectations!
It stands to reason that the second prince of Zheng Guo conquered Shen Guo this time, and the soldiers he brought were about 40,000 people, and Jiang Shancheng had to transfer troops, in other words, there were very few troops in Pingxiang City and Shanquan City, and Zheng Han deployed all the remaining troops in Anluo City!
In this way, it will be troublesome, and the Cangguo army may face at least 10,000 troops!
Even the thousands of generals in the army frowned.
With twice the strength of your own side, under normal circumstances, you can already predict defeat.
Also, what was the reason for Zheng Jun to deploy all his troops in Anluo City?
Could it be that the movements on his side have been leaked a long time ago?
……
Anluo City, garrison camp.
When the scout brought back the latest news, Chen Shou looked at the map on the table and was silent for a long time.
The emperor of Cangguo personally led his troops to appear outside Anluo City?
I guess I came from the Bandit Mountains......
Chen Shou frowned, he is nearly fifty years old, and now he is a general, with more than 10,000 soldiers under his command, and he is quite relied on by the second prince Zheng Han.
Twenty years ago, when he was still a 3,000-strong general, he led an army to attack the Bandit Mountain Range, and finally returned with a feather!
Since then, there has been no mention of the Bandit Mountain Range, and it is as secretive as it is deep.
Since the Emperor of Cangguo was able to cross the Bandit Mountain Range, he also had some ability, how could he set up camp and do such a stupid thing?
This made him unable to figure it out, could it be ...... Did the little emperor of Cangguo regard fighting as a hunting game?
That's right, after all, it's just a hairy stinky boy, and he was lucky enough to win Zheng Kang's stupid bastard, so he thought he was invincible?
It takes experience to march and fight!
Immediately, he summoned four 3,000 generals under his command and came to the Shuai tent to discuss the matter.
When the generals heard the news, they all laughed and ridiculed, because in their opinion, His Majesty Cangguo's move was quite unwise.
"This Emperor of Cangguo...... How could such an unconscionable move be made all of a sudden? One of the generals was a little puzzled, and muttered: "Wei Zhongquan, the great general of the Cangguo, is an old man who has been in battle for a long time, why don't you stop him?" ”
Suddenly, the general thought of something and said, "I heard that they are camping at the foot of the mountain?" ”
"Yes." One of the generals pouted and said, "Maybe the previous plan was a sneak attack, but before it could be implemented, it was discovered by our people, and we had no idea at once, so we could only set up camp." ”
Camped......
Chen Shou listened to the conversation between the two generals, paced back and forth in the tent for a few steps, and said thoughtfully: "As far as the general knows, the purpose of Cangguo's trip is to support Shenguo...... You say, could it be that the Emperor of Cangguo was stubborn and used himself to dry Wei Zhongquan and other generals aside? ”
The generals pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "The general's guess is very likely, the Emperor Cangguo has never been on the battlefield in person, he is young and vigorous, and he is complacent about defeating Zheng Kang's group of rabble...... In that case, we might as well gather our forces and deal him a heavy blow! ”
"Perhaps, you can also capture the little emperor alive!" Another advent added.
Hearing this, all the generals' eyes lit up.
Wouldn't capturing the little emperor alive be equivalent to destroying half of the country?
Even if you can't coerce the little emperor to submit, it will cause instability in the court of Cangguo, and it will definitely be vulnerable!
Led by Chen Shou, the breathing of several generals became heavy, this is a feat, it is not a problem to pay homage to the marquis, and maybe it can go further and obtain the prince and the fiefdom.
"General, shall we send some soldiers to test it?" Liang Zijie, a general of 3,000 people under his command, asked.
"You kid, is it really the Cangguo army that is vulnerable?" Chen Shou heard what this favorite general meant, and said with a smile: "Let's not come to these virtual ...... Anyway, it's not the generals who are in charge now, let the little emperor be happy first, don't disturb his sweet dreams, and when he is full of sleep, it will be time to appear in our prison car. ”
"Hahaha! That's what the last general means! ”
"Let him be happy for two days first, and then make him look good!"
"The main task of our stationing here is not to defend against the Cangguo army, and the deployment of troops must be well divided." One of the 3,000 generals clasped his fists and said with a smile: "General, at the moment, the Cangguo army has no sense of crisis, and it is a good opportunity for us......"
"Hmm." Chen Shou nodded, suddenly touched his chin, as if he thought of something, and said: "Without further ado, I will write a letter to the little emperor, ask him why he wants to attack my Zheng Guo's territory, express his friendship, show the enemy to weakness first, and let him be proud first." ”
It didn't take long for Chen Shou to write a letter and instruct the scouts to send it to the Cangguo camp.
When it was evening, Yang Mu received this letter from Chen Shou, the general of the garrison of Anluo City.
"Does this guy really think I'm a faint king?" After Yang Mu saw it, he was speechless.
Wei Zhongquan and several generals took a look, and they all showed strange looks.
It can be seen between the lines that the general of Zheng Guo did not hesitate to praise his majesty, his tone was sincere, and he also pointed out seriously whether there was any misunderstanding in this, and hoped that the two sides could turn the conflict into a jade silk.
Stupid?
I'm going to beat you, but you call me Daddy......
"What a ploy move." Yang Mu smiled, quite eccentric, then looked at the rest of the generals and said, "You all tell me, what does Chen Shou mean." ”
"Your Majesty, the last general thinks that Chen Shou has misjudged the situation of our army." Qu Yong of the 1,000-person team clenched his fists, and then analyzed: "Chen Shougui is a general of a country, with heavy troops in his hands, and he is currently the number two person except for Zheng Han, the second prince of Zheng Guo, and he must not be a simple-minded character, he is obviously pretending to be stupid and deliberately showing weakness." ”
The Admiral agreed. He Sang also nodded and said, "Even if Chen Shou speaks to his own emperor, his tone should not be so low, and there is also the meaning of dividing the relationship between our monarchs and ministers, which is clearly full of deep meaning." ”
Wei Zhongquan thought about it for a while, and said: "The minister has dealt with Chen Shou, this person is good at scheming, likes to figure out people's hearts, on the surface people and animals are harmless, but in fact, he hides a knife in his smile, which is very dangerous." ”
"So, you guess that I am a faint king, paralyzing me with a letter?" Yang Mu comprehensively analyzed the opinions of several generals and concluded.
Wei Zhongquan said with a smile: "It seems that Your Majesty's age and performance have deceived many people. ”
The rest of the generals smiled knowingly.
Thinking about it, this handsome tent is full of generals who participated in the battle of the imperial city, and witnessed the whole process of this suppression of bandits, for this young emperor His Majesty can be said to know the roots, only they know that this emperor His Majesty is an extremely virtuous emperor in addition to the age disguise that is not as weak as the crown.
"It seems that he doesn't intend to test us, but wants to finish the battle." He Sang said.
"How could he possibly come and test us?" Yang Mu smiled, pointed to the letter and said lightly: "See, in the letter, he complimented me on being in charge of power, wise and martial, and young but in power...... This shows that he is eager to confuse the public, and when the time comes, he will surprise us and give us the most fierce blow. ”
