Chapter 989 wants to go on a northern expedition, and the emperor is furious
Xiong Kui was arrogant, Xiong Wu heard the sound and nodded with satisfaction.
The Chu army was defeated in the north many times, which seriously affected the momentum of the whole army.
Today, the state of Chu decided to go on the Northern Expedition, and when he went to the north, Xiong Wu hoped that the Chu army would be as strong as a rainbow and would not be afraid to fight.
Therefore, he turned a deaf ear to Xiong Kui's words, Xiong Kui was arrogant, and as an emperor, he knew it in his heart.
"Lord Wang, what you said is true, the Northern Expedition of the Chu State will definitely avenge the Chu army that died in the north that year, and it will be shameful and show the momentum of the Chu army." Yue Yunshan is full of pride.
The emperor personally ordered the generals and ordered Yue Yunshan to lead the army to the north.
Yue Yunshan was in the north, was captured by Emperor Yan, and the Xuanjia soldiers under his tent were trapped in the north, and he couldn't let go.
If you want to be in the north, you will be ashamed!
Hearing Xiong Kui and Yue Yunshan's words, Chu Jiang present became more and more elated, pushing the cup and changing the lamp, so comfortable!
However, Han Xiangzi, who was sitting next to Wenchen, put the wine glass in his hand on the dining table, stood up, walked to the center of the main hall, looked serious, and said bluntly to Xiong Wu with his fists.
"Your Majesty, Emperor Yan led the troops to attack the city and plunder the land in the north, and wherever he passed, he was invincible, and he must not be careless to the enemy.
If there is a victory, there may be a fluke element, but Emperor Yan led the army to attack all and be invincible, and it is obvious that the Yan army is very strong.
This time, the army of Chu went north, in a passive state of resisting the enemy, and did not take the initiative to attack the city and seize the land. ”
He was in the southern frontier of Cai State, and fought with Yan general Feng Yi personally, at the beginning, the attack on Cai State was invincible, and even Wu Jieshao could not stop the edge of the Chu army.
Feng Yi led 100,000 Yan cavalry to appear, which brought the Chu army's consecutive victories to an abrupt end, forcing the Chu army to turn defensive into offensive, and the two sides were in a-for-tat state.
After this battle, Han Xiangzi studied the equipment and tactics of the Yan army in detail, as well as the leading generals of each army, and all kinds of signs proved that the Yan army was strong enough.
What's more, over the years, the Yan army has vigorously expanded its territory, and all the strong enemies in the north have been eliminated.
On the other hand, the Chu army, which has garrisoned various counties for many years, has never experienced a major war, and in terms of sharpness and combat effectiveness, it is not the same as the Yan army.
During the banquet, Xiong Kui, Yue Yunshan and other Chu generals did not think of danger in peace, but on the contrary, they loved wine, and talked about it one by one, not taking Yan Jun in their eyes.
Even if the elite of the Chu army is in front of the north, according to the current attitude of the generals to underestimate the enemy, they do not want to make a difference in the north.
What's more, Yue Yunshan personally led his troops north, arrogant, Han Xiangzi was sure that if he continued, the Chu army would be defeated in the north.
The situation in Chu will become extremely bad, and if you are not careful, you will be no different from Cai Guo.
At the banquet, when the military generals heard Han Xiangzi's words, many people recognized them, and some people were displeased.
thinks that Han Xiangzi is too cowardly, grows the ambition of others, and destroys his own prestige.
Xiong Wu, who was full of expectations for the north, gradually felt a chill on his face, he didn't know how powerful the Yan army was, but the strength of the Chu army was also not weak.
Today, he held a banquet just to enhance the momentum of the Northern Expedition soldiers, and Han Xiangzi's words were undoubtedly competing with him.
Xiong Wu understands Han Xiangzi's personality and knows that he is upright and upright, and he can't rub sand in his eyes.
In the state of Chu, Han Xiangzi's military attainments are better than Han Zhitong.
Han Xiangzi is young, and in a few years, after experiencing the baptism of war, he will definitely be able to grow up and become the commander of the Chu State.
Xiong Wu picked up the wine glass, drank it all, and said with a smile: "General Han, today, the banquet of the Northern Expedition of the Chu Army, there is the Cai Army in the north, there are soldiers, General Han, don't worry too much, wait for Yue Yunshan to attack with peace of mind!" ”
"Your Majesty, the non-last general is alarmist, and the soldiers have a poor soldier to lead the army to the battle, and there has been no good news, which proves that the situation of the soldier in the north is also very difficult.
General Yue led his army to the north, and it was best to fight alone, rather than join forces with the Cai army or the soldiers. Han Xiangzi said bluntly, looking at the many alliances of the five southern countries, although each army is strong, they each have their own evil intentions, and in order to protect their own interests, they secretly calculate with each other.
Not only did they not achieve the victory of the Northern Expedition, but on the contrary, they were broken by the Yan army one by one, and the five southern countries lost their troops.
At present, Cai Chu's military family has a large number of troops in Cai State, and there is still no good news, Han Xiangzi guessed that most of it is because the three parties have ghosts.
This time, Emperor Yan was eyeing the south, and Cai Guo hoped to unite with Chu and strive to protect Cai.
However, in the eyes of Han Xiangzi, Cai's power was weak and the land area was not large, and when he fought in southern Xinjiang, he was heavily damaged by the Chu army.
The temporarily formed army, in the face of the invincible Yan Cai, could not stop the Yan Qi from moving south.
Even with the assistance of the Chu army and the soldiers, Cai Guo did not want to protect the whole country in the Yanqi expedition.
According to Han Xiangzi's suggestion, he did not advocate that the Chu generals lead their troops north, but should quickly form a defense in all counties and cities of Chu State, and strive to fight hard with Yan Cai in Chu State when Yan Cai broke into Chu State.
"General Han, why are you alarmist, no matter how powerful Yan Qi is, no matter how capable Emperor Yan is, it is impossible to severely damage Cai Chu and the soldiers at the same time, this time the general will personally lead the army to the south, General Han only needs to be in Yingcheng, and wait for the general's good news with peace of mind!" Yue Yunshan was very dissatisfied with Han Xiangzi's words, and felt that Han Xiangzi was a bit exaggerated.
Although the Northern Expedition failed and became a prisoner, Ran Yan rode south, and in the southern land, all forces besieged the Yan army, and he believed that the Yan army did not have much advantage in the south.
At present, the speed of the Yan cavalry in the south of the city has been greatly slowed down, which can prove that the Yan army is not small limited in the south.
Han Xiangzi didn't say anything, picked up the wine glass and tasted the wine alone, the emperor hoped that the morale of the whole army was good, but the commander in the army was arrogant and underestimated the enemy, which was very bad for the Chu army.
Seeing Han Xiangzi's waveless state of the ancient well, Yue Yunshan was very dissatisfied in his heart, and wanted to speak, but he noticed that there were guards, and hurriedly walked into the palace from outside the palace, and his attention couldn't help but be attracted.
The guards walked in with a panicked expression, looked at the court, and were full of interest in the military generals, not daring to disturb the emperor Yaxing, but the matter was too important, and stammered to Xiong Wu: "Your Majesty, the old general Han Zhitong and the generals under his account were all sent back to Yingcheng from the north by the merchants of the Chu State!" ”
"Han Zhitong, where is the person, please invite him in!" Xiong Wu had never been drunk, but when he was in high spirits, when he heard the guard's words, he immediately stood up and looked excited.
At the beginning of the withdrawal of the army, Han Zhitong was storming the four cities along the river, and the Chu army could not go to inform him.
In this regard, Xiong Wu was worried, worried that Han Zhitong would lead a small number of troops and it would be difficult for him to retreat in the land of tigers and wolves in the north.
Unexpectedly, Han Zhitong actually led the army back from the north, which was beyond Xiong Wu's expectations, and it was not General Han who won the victory in the north.
At this time, Xiong Kui, Yue Yunshan, and many Wenchen generals looked intoxicated, and there was a smile on their faces!
There are also officials, whose thoughts are clear, and when they hear the words of the guards, their expressions are cold, and they can't help but put down the wine glasses in their hands and pay attention to the guards' actions.
Han Xiangzi, who had never spoken, hurriedly put the wine glass on the dining table, and hurriedly asked: "Old General Han, what happened in the north, why was he returned by the merchants of Chu State in the north?" ”
Hearing Han Xiangzi's roaring words, Xiong Wu's ears were like thunder, his thoughts suddenly became clear, and he seemed to realize that he was too anxious, ignoring the guard's words, and hurriedly asked, "Tell me quickly, what happened to Han Zhitong." ”
Long Yan was furious, the guards didn't dare to hide it, and said with a sad expression: "Your Majesty, General Han, General Han and all the generals under his account, all died in battle, were beheaded by Emperor Yan, hung the Xiyue city wall to demonstrate, the merchants of Chu took pity and spent a lot of money to redeem them, and the current old generals and the heads of the generals under the account are all outside the palace. ”
The words fell, and in the lively hall, the military generals of Wenchen were suddenly quiet, as if a cold wind was blowing from the north, which made people feel creepy.
Han Zhitong is known as the number one general of the Chu State, and he has made great achievements for the Chu State, but unexpectedly, an accident occurred in the north.
The head of Emperor Yan was cut off.
The generals couldn't help but defend themselves, how ruthless Emperor Yan was, so he would mercilessly kill the heads of General Han Lao and the generals under his account.
However, the military generals who have a little vision are all aware of Emperor Yan's approach.
When he captured Han Zhitong and others, he was rescued by the Chu State, and when Yan Cai went south, Han Zhitong led his troops to block it.
Emperor Yan is bound to be furious and hold a grudge against Han Zhitong and other generals!
In the fierce battle, I was fortunate to capture Han Zhitong and others, in order to vent my anger, in order to avoid Han Zhitong and other generals, and then be rescued by the Chu State, in order not to cause trouble for Yan Cai's southward advance, the only way to get rid of it is to hurry up!
What's more, Han Zhitong became famous in the south and was regarded as the first general in the south, and the Yan army killed Han Zhitong and hung the wall of Xiyue City at the first level, which could deeply deter the southern army and the Chu army.
Xiong Wu took a long breath, the spirit on his face disappeared, his body was as cold as frost, staring at the guards with tiger eyes, and hurriedly said: "Hurry, hurry, quickly send General Han's head in!" ”
At this moment, Xiong Wu gradually sobered up, and did not believe that Han Zhitong would die in the north, if Han Zhitong and his generals were all killed in battle, wouldn't it show that there were no generals in the Chu State who could compete with Emperor Yan?
What's more, Emperor Yan is cunning, will he deliberately deceive, he didn't see Han Zhitong's head with his own eyes, Xiong Wu didn't believe the facts at all.
Hearing this, the guards clasped their fists and saluted, quickly exited the hall, waited for the merchants outside, explained a few words, led the seven merchants, and quickly turned back!
Behind the guards, followed by seven merchants, each with a sad expression, holding a wooden box in their arms, all wrapped in purple brocade cotton.
Walking into the main hall, there was a foul smell coming from the wooden box, and suddenly some Wenchen couldn't help coughing violently.
The seven people quickly put the wooden box on the ground of the main hall and saluted Xiong Wu on the high platform.
Xiong Wu quickly put down his wine glass, quickly walked down from the high platform, walked in front of the seven merchants, and asked, "How did General Han defeat him, and all the generals under his account were killed?" ”
The seven merchants were holding wooden boxes in their hands, emitting a foul smell, and Xiong Wu began to suspect that Han Zhitong had really been killed.
After all, the seven businessmen ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, and they didn't dare to deceive their superiors and subordinates, and joked with their lives.
Hearing this, the seven businessmen glanced at each other, and the businessman standing in the middle stood up, looking respectful and lonely, and said to Xiong Wu: "Your Majesty, the shopkeeper of the Li Chamber of Commerce of the grass people, half a month ago, happened to be doing business in Xiyue City, and personally experienced the battle between Cai Chu's family and the Yan army.
It is rumored that Wu Jieshao, the general of Cai State, heard that Mocheng was attacked by the Yan army, and was anxious to go south, refusing to provide food and grass for General Han and the soldiers of Chu, thus forcing the fierce general and the Chu army under his tent to leave Gaoyang City......."
In charge, he learned about things in the north and told Xiong Wu everything, and he didn't dare to hide anything!
"Bastard, bastard, Wu Jieshao, this dog. Mother's crumbs! Xiong Wu was furious when he heard that he was in charge of words.
Stretched out his hand and snatched the wooden box in the shopkeeper's hand, walked a few steps forward, walked to a Wenchen food table, waved his hand and directly moved all the food on the food table on the ground.
Put the wooden box on the food table, open the wooden box with your own hands, and at the moment when the wooden box is opened, the stench in the hall is stronger.
When Mu Gai was thrown aside by Xiong Wu, he immediately revealed Han Zhitong's collection, and Wen Chen in front of him, Yu Guang only glanced at him, screamed, and fainted directly.
Suddenly, the generals of Wenchen on all sides quickly surrounded them, and when they saw the heads in the wooden box, many people couldn't help but gasp, and some Wenchen even vomited directly!
It takes a lot of time to travel from Xiyue City to Yingcheng, although it is currently in the late autumn season, but Han Zhitong's collection has been rotten, hideous, and terrifying.
Xiong Wu also gasped, but still ordered the generals present to open all the wooden boxes.
Suddenly, on the dining table, seven wooden boxes were placed, which contained Han Zhitong, Wang Xiaojie, Gao Cunxiao, and the four children of the Han family.
It is vaguely the head of Han Zhitong's seven people, but the degree of decay of the head is serious and cannot be directly determined.
At this time, Xiong Wu's gaze shifted to the shopkeeper and the men beside him, and asked, "Have you ever witnessed General Han being killed?" ”
"Your Majesty, General Han was killed with his own eyes without the purpose of the grass people, but when the grass people were the first to be the head of General Han, he was indeed General Han, and the merchants of the Chu State in Xiyue City can testify?"
"Damn, damn!" Xiong Wu said angrily, hating Wu Jieshao and Lin Feng, and shouted directly: "The army is reorganized, set off in two days, go to the north, and avenge General Han!" ”
