Chapter Eighty-Eight: On Soldiers
The Pingxi Army Battalion, the Chinese Army's Big Tent.
At this time, King Xiang and Naga Xifeng were gathered in front of a huge sand table topographic map, frowning, and whispering to each other.
In addition to them, there were several generals in the tent, who were on either side of the tent, bowing their heads and not saying a word.
The atmosphere in the account was very tense, and the oppressive environment made people breathless.
After a while, I suddenly heard a voice from outside the tent: "Your Highness, General Wei and General Zhou have arrived." ”
When King Xiang heard this, he stopped his movements, glanced at He Xifeng, and then said, "Let them in." ”
Listening to the bustling sound outside the tent, Zhou Feng and Wei Ziyang walked into the tent side by side.
As soon as Wei Ziyang raised his head, he saw King Xiang and He Xifeng standing next to the sand table, and his expression was awe-inspiring, and he arched his hand and said, "Wei has seen His Royal Highness and the general." Of course, Zhou Feng also said respectfully.
King Xiang nodded, and then said softly: "Ziyang, are you familiar with all the places in this camp?" ”
When Wei Ziyang heard this, he said calmly: "Wei has been wandering around all day, but he also has a general understanding of the situation in the army. ”
King Xiang heard Wei Ziyang's words, and he didn't say much, and now he was discussing military affairs with He Xifeng, so he just smiled and said, "That's good." ”
Zhou Feng listened to what King Xiang said, and Wei Ziyang said a word, but he was not discussing anything important, frowned slightly, and said to King Xiang: "Your Highness is looking for me, but what's the matter?" ”
In fact, Zhou Feng's words were very rude, and when everyone heard it, they were also a little surprised, secretly thinking that this Zhou Feng was really bold and dared to speak like this in front of He Xifeng and King Xiang, and then a pair of eyes also glanced at this King Xiang, wanting to see how King Xiang answered.
Zhou Feng said this, in fact, he has his own support, and behind him is the support of the prince, so it doesn't matter if the bird is not the king of Xiang, it doesn't matter if he gives face to the king of Xiang, after all, in his heart, he still thinks that the person who can inherit the orthodoxy in the future must be His Royal Highness the prince, not the so-called King Xiang.
Since ancient times, the eldest son has inherited the throne, and this is the rule of law outside ancient times, and no one can change it.
When King Xiang heard Zhou Feng's words, he chuckled, but he was not angry, and paused: "Actually, I asked General Zhou and you and Ziyang to come tonight to discuss this matter of cutting down Qin." ”
Zhou Feng knew that this King Xiang must have something to say, so he didn't ask much, and stood in place and waited quietly for King Xiang's words.
King Xiang looked at this Zhou Feng, and said: "I have discussed with General He just now, and decided to use this strategy of dividing the troops, and the troops will be divided into two roads, all the way out of Wusongling to Tongguan, and all the way out of Yakou to Hangu Pass. ”
"Then dare to ask Your Highness, who are the candidates for these two coaches?" When Zhou Feng heard this, he frowned slightly, and he couldn't wait to ask.
Hearing this, King Xiang smiled faintly, that is, he said: "The road to Hangu Pass is headed by General He, and the road to this Tongguan is headed by General Zhou." ”
When Wei Ziyang heard this, he lowered his eyes and revealed, his eyelids jumped slightly, and the cold glint in his eyes flashed away, and others couldn't notice it at all.
When Zhou Feng heard this, he forgot to look at this King Xiang in surprise, and then glanced at Wei Ziyang with his eyes, and frowned: "Your Highness won't let Wei Ziyang be the general?" ”
When King Xiang heard this, he shook his head: "After all, Ziyang has no actual combat experience, if he is rashly let be the main general, the prestige in the army is not enough, so Ziyang may not be able to take on this big responsibility." After speaking, a pair of eyes narrowed, staring at this Wei Ziyang.
When Wei Ziyang heard King Xiang's words, his face straightened, and he said loudly: "Wei knows that he is shallow and has insufficient qualifications in the army, so Wei agrees to let General Zhou be the main general." ”
King Xiang chuckled, and then looked around at the generals in the tent with a faint look, and asked, "What do you think about this king's resolution?" ”
When the generals heard this, they did not hesitate, and replied in unison, "The last general agrees." ”
In fact, this is a very normal thing, Zhou Feng, as the second-in-command of the entire Pingxi Army, has a very high prestige in the army, and has experienced a hundred battles, has been on the battlefield for a long time, and can be alone, and Zhou Feng's popularity in the army is very good, and the relationship with the generals is also very close.
As for this Wei Ziyang, they had never heard of it before coming to the Pingxi Army, but today King Xiang explained to them that this Wei Ziyang was the tiger fighter in Ya County, and in addition, they didn't know much about Wei Ziyang, so naturally they couldn't talk about any support or dissupport.
It is even said that in the hearts of some generals, they have not considered that the candidate for the other way will be someone other than Zhou Feng.
Listening to the answers of these generals, King Xiang nodded with a smile, and then said: "The specific matter is General He to talk to you." ”
Nahe Xifeng listened to King Xiang's words, and bowed his hand solemnly to King Xiang, and then walked to the middle of the big tent and said: "The plan that I will discuss with King Xiang is that Hangu Pass will send 70,000 troops to attack one way, forcing Yan Guang of the Qin State to focus on the Hangu area, and the number of troops going to Tongguan on the other way will be about twenty or thirty thousand, led by General Zhou, we must take Tongguan while our army is attacking Hangu, no matter who can take the lead in the first pass of these two soldiers and horses, it will be a success for our army." ”
Obviously, the generals had already learned about He Xifeng's plan, in fact, King Xiang had said it in the morning, but it was not so detailed.
After looking up at the reactions of the generals, Naga Xifeng continued: "The forward battalion, the infantry battalion will move with the general and His Royal Highness King Xiang, and go to Hangu; The escort camp followed General Zhou and went to Tongguan. ”
Hearing this, Zhou Feng frowned, thought about it, and then said to He Xifeng: "General Qiqi, there is something unknown about the last general. ”
He Xifeng glanced at him, and then said lightly: "What's wrong?" ”
Zhou Feng cleared his throat and said in a deep voice: "Isn't it the duty of the guard battalion to protect the general, so why would the guard battalion be allowed to act with the last general instead of the general?" ”
Of course, Zhou Feng knew that there was only one commander in this guard camp, that was Mei Jingting, and Mei Jingting seemed to have a good relationship with Wei Ziyang, and this suddenly sent the guard camp to himself, which made Zhou Feng wonder, what's the matter? Could it be that there is something else in this?
Hearing this, He Xifeng waved his hand and said: "The guard battalion is indeed the general's guard, but their combat effectiveness is also very strong, no worse than this step military camp and the forward battalion, let them stay in front of General Zhou because their number is just right, and they have no other thoughts, and I hope General Zhou will not think too much." ”
In the entire Pingxi Army, the infantry battalion accounted for the majority, with about 50,000 people, while the forward battalion and the guard battalion each had 20,000 horses.
Although Zhou Feng still had some doubts in his heart when he heard this, he couldn't find any way to stop it for a while, so he could only hug his fists and say, "The last general will obey the order." ”
Zhou Feng actually didn't worry too much in his heart, after all, he was the main general of that road, and when the time came, Mei Jingting didn't have to listen to his own words, and this way of fighting was not up to him.
Let him Mei Jingting go.
Nahe Xifeng looked around again, and saw that all the generals were silent, obviously having acquiesced to this battle plan 1, and at the moment he was also in his heart, and said: "Then, time does not wait for anyone, and rest for a day, and the day after tomorrow, send troops to Xiqin." ”
When Wei Ziyang heard this, he only felt a chill in his heart, although he was in the big tent, he felt that the wind seemed to be able to blow in through the curtain tent, into his heart, and into his brain.
"Oh, by the way, now that General Wei is temporarily appointed as a lieutenant in the guard battalion, do the generals have any objections?"
When Zhou Feng heard this, his heart tightened for no reason, and he wanted to make a sound, but he opened his mouth and gave up.
When Wei Ziyang heard this, his eyes were cold, and he said slowly: "The last general will obey the order." ”
The weather is getting colder, and people can't do it......
