Chapter 129: Military Intelligence
Since the Right Guard Army was hit hard, the Right Guard Army camp at the east gate of Wanqiu City has become the Chinese army camp of Mi Zilan, and the Right Guard Army has set up a small military camp next to the Chinese army camp. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 As for the east gate, all military affairs were handed over to the general of the Central Guard, Mi Rong.
At this time, in the handsome tent of Qi Zilan, two rows of Chu military generals stood solemnly, squeezing a spacious tent to the point where it was difficult to gain a foothold.
Qi Zilan sat on the handsome seat with a sad face.
When the generals saw Qi Zilan, their expressions were even more atmospheric, and they didn't dare to come out. The recent war has been unfavorable, and they are naturally aware of it.
"Just now there is an important military situation in the country, Qi and Jin, under the persuasion of Chen Guo's father Yi Xing, have decided to send troops to help Chen Guo, and the two countries have contacted many vassal small countries to send troops together, and the 100,000 army has now gathered to defend the country."
As soon as Mizi Lanfu threw out the news, the big tent was like water into boiling oil, and the chatter kept going. Some are worried that the current 50,000 Chu troops are not enough to resist the 100,000 coalition troops and the 30,000 Chen troops inside and outside, some are indignant and want to fight to the death with the coalition army, there are also those who want to encircle the point and send reinforcements to ambush and repel the 100,000 coalition troops, and there are those who simply retreat back to the army, and there are even those who suddenly want to fight with Qi and Jin to conquer and carve up the Chen state. There are all kinds of suggestions, and every order, Qi Zilan has a headache when she listens to it.
"Alright, alright! It's all quiet. ”
Qi Zilan was angry, and she also knew that the situation was critical now, but if she said that the public was reasonable, the mother said that the mother was reasonable, and it would be useless to say it if she didn't say it properly.
When the generals saw that the marshal was angry, they immediately silenced, really wanted to let them propose alone, they didn't have the courage to do so, not that they didn't dare, but the situation was sudden, and everyone didn't make their opinions in detail and fully.
"General, if you have any suggestions, let's listen to them." Qi Zilan's ears finally calmed down, and she turned her head to look at Qu Fang, who had been sitting in the first position of her right hand, and said slowly.
Qu Fang hurriedly stood up in the ranks. In fact, if he didn't know that Qi Zilan was to establish his image of being virtuous and loving and treating his subordinates well, and at the same time to win him over and guess his own seat, according to Qu Fang's previous character of being respectful and humble, he would never just sit down with a slight excuse, but would have to stand like all the generals.
"Return to Marshal! I think this matter should be decided according to whether our army can capture Wanqiu City before the arrival of the 100,000 allied troops of Qi and Jin, if our army can capture Wanqiu before the arrival of the coalition army, the coalition army will retreat without a fight, if not. ”
Qu Bin raised his head and paused.
"What else?" Qi Zilan asked.
"Otherwise, we should withdraw as soon as possible." Qu Fang decided in his heart that it was very unwise to make enemies with the two great powers of Qi and Jin for the sake of Chen Guo alone. This involves not only the war, but also the economic and political aspects of both sides. Although the state of Chu is strong, it is only a strong country like Qi and Jin, and the victory or defeat is naturally obvious.
Sure enough, Qu Fang continued: "If my Great Chu is alone against any country of Qi and Jin, I naturally have no way to worry, but if I fight against the two powerful countries of Qi and Jin alone, it is really powerful, and even if we wait for work and win for a while, at that time, we will have a great enmity with Qi and Jin, and in the long run, it will not be conducive to my Chu country." ”
"But just withdraw like that?" Qi Zilan was very unwilling, this was her first time leading troops to the battle, and naturally she didn't want to end in failure.
"In fact, our purpose is just to defeat Chen, if Chen wins, this expedition will naturally achieve the goal, as for the fight against the Qi and Jin coalition forces, there is no need for this, presumably the letter from the lord of the country also mentions, and we will be asked to end the war quickly." Qu Fang is naturally not an ordinary person to become a general, and his strategic vision is quite good.
Qi Zilan was secretly surprised, if it weren't for the secret letter of the country lord that she kept close to her, and there was no leakage at all, she would have thought that Qu Fang already knew the content of this letter.
"Yes, the lord of the country wrote that Qi and Jin are prosperous, and our army is invincible, and we want to end the war as soon as possible and avoid war with Qi Jin, so as not to damage the majesty of our army."
"Huh? Is it impossible to withdraw troops like this? Wanqiu has not yet been captured, if this army is withdrawn, don't be ridiculed in the future? It's a big deal to fight with the Qi and Jin coalition forces, but it still has a good reputation. Qi Rong stood up, unconvinced.
Many generals echoed their words and retreated without a fight, which was too embarrassing, which made it difficult for many generals with strong blood to accept.
"The 100,000 combined troops of Qi and Jin are not as good as the 30,000 miscellaneous troops of Chen State, and they are also soldiers who are as brave and good at fighting as my Chu State, wouldn't they end up with the destruction of the whole army if they fight so hard?"
Xiong Wan stood up to refute, and suddenly many generals who were a little calmer nodded in agreement.
"Could it be that General Xiong is greedy for life and afraid of death? Or do you want to save your strength with a small abacus? ”
Qi Rong had bad intentions and immediately provoked the attention of all the generals. Xiong Wan is also discolored, this kind of thing is more unacceptable than being slapped in the face, which not only affects her Xiong Wan's personal image and honor, but also inevitably affects the reputation of the entire bear clan.
"Mi Rong! How to speak! General Xiong is loyal and patriotic, is that kind of villain, when can you change your temperament that speaks but only wants to be the fastest for a while? Don't apologize to General Xiong yet! ”
Mi Zilan didn't wait for the bear to finish her attack, she took the lead in changing color and reprimanded Mi Rong fiercely.
Seeing that his sister was full of emotion, Qi Rong didn't dare to disobey, so he reluctantly walked in front of Xiong Wan and bowed his hand to Xiong Wan.
Qi Zilan saw that Xiong Wan's face looked a lot better, and she breathed a sigh of relief, she finally thought about uniting all the generals and establishing her own image, but she couldn't be destroyed by her own sister, so she blocked Xiong Wan's mouth in advance, appeased Xiong Wan, and prevented the situation from expanding. Sure enough, Mi Zilan made a gesture and won the favor of many generals present, and the eyes of many generals looking at Mi Zilan became softer, especially the generals of the rear guard.
"Qi Rong has always been so reckless when she speaks, and I ask General Xiong Wan not to worry about her for the sake of my face, but although her words are ugly, she is a very good person, and she has always taken the lead in the siege of the city, I hope you two can get closer to each other." Qi Zilan hurriedly hit the railway while it was hot. Sure enough, after saying this, the dissatisfaction in the eyes of the generals of the Central Guard Army, who originally had some opinions, disappeared.
"Okay, now let's continue to discuss the matter of attacking Chen, if there is any more person who changes the topic for no reason, this commander will be severely punished."
"Back to the marshal, our army's 50,000 soldiers have been fighting with the Chen army for more than two months, although the military heart is available, but after all, there are a lot of losses, if you really want to fight with the 100,000 coalition troops of Qi and Jin, I am afraid the chance of victory is not great. Now there is only one way to do it before the arrival of the coalition forces to capture Wanqiu and cut down Chen, otherwise we can only withdraw the army as soon as possible. Xiong Wan said his opinion, and turned his head to greet Qi Rong with a soothing expression.
"The last general feels that we have been in Chen for a long time, and we have a geographical advantage over the Qi and Jin coalition forces, and the Qi and Jin labor divisions are far away, and it is a coalition army composed of many countries, and the military spirit is definitely not as good as our army, and we also occupy it, so we are not without the strength to fight." Qi Rong can become a general, and he really has some real skills, and his insights are not inaccurate.
"General Zhang, what do you think?" Qi Zilan looked at the former guard general who was standing on the side, his face was deep, and he said.
"Returning to the marshal, the general and the two generals Xiong and Mi have unique opinions, and the last general deeply agrees, and has no other suggestions, everything is decided by the marshal alone." Zhang Er arched his hand and replied.
"Where's the general?" Qi Zilan rubbed her head.
"Hehe, the last general will obey the marshal's orders." Qu Fang expressed her attitude, although she agreed with Xiong Wan's opinion in her heart, but now was not the time for her to stand up and express her opinion.
It would be nice to have someone to help me with an idea at this time. Qi Zilan sighed, and her face was even more sad.
