"Wu Heng, what do you mean by that?"

At the military meeting the next day, August 5, a general of the Taiping Army of the Chen family stood up and glared angrily at Wu Heng, the deputy marshal sitting on the opposite side, and several generals of the same faction as Chen Heng beside him were also full of anger.

Unexpectedly, Wu Heng didn't even look at him, and continued to say in a deep voice to Liu Qing, who was sitting on the main seat, "Divide the troops, this is the judgment made by the last general for the current situation!" ”

Compared with the angry expressions on the faces of the Taiping Army generals of the Chen Bei faction, the face of Heavenly Ji Liu Qing was obviously much calmer, and at this moment, she looked like a leader of the Taiping Army, not an ordinary fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl.

"Does Vice Marshal Wu mean to take over the powers of the palace and give orders on behalf of the palace?"

In the words, Liu Qing rarely called himself a palace, which made Yang Yu, the commander of the guards who was guarding the inside of the tent door with a sword, couldn't help but look at her a few more times, and his eyes showed a little surprise, after all, Liu Qing rarely oppressed people with his noble status on weekdays, just like when Yang Yu threatened her to rest early two days ago, she only complained verbally, and angrily wanted Chen Yu to get rid of Yang Yu's position as the commander of the army. But in fact, to dismiss Yang Yu, as Liu Qing, it only takes one sentence to do it.

It can be seen that Liu Qing is in a very bad mood at this moment, no, it should be said that she was in a very bad mood by Xie An, and she was really angry after hearing Wu Heng's words that could be called arrogance.

Wu Heng obviously also noticed the thick displeasure in Liu Qing's eyes, smiled lightly, clasped his fists and said, "Don't dare, Her Royal Highness the princess is serious, how dare the last general have such thoughts?" Her Royal Highness the Princess is the banner of my Taiping Army, and the heart of my hundreds of thousands of Taiping Army brothers. How dare the last general have the slightest arrogance? -- The last general just felt that if our army was delayed here any longer, once the reinforcements of the Zhou State arrived, the 150,000 generals of our army would all be poisoned by the Zhou army, and there would be no return...... Her Royal Highness the princess didn't have the certainty of defeating Xie An's 80,000 Liang army, did he? ”

"......" Liu Qing's face froze when she heard this, and she opened her mouth, speechless.

Seeing this, Wu Heng sneered in his heart and said righteously. "Come, as a subordinate, Wu should not make his own decisions and disobey the Lord, but for the sake of my 150,000 army. Wu had to be this evil minister...... The princess has been confronting Na Xie An in Hankou for ten days, and according to the princess's original plan, our army should have reached Wuhu at this moment, and even Jinling has been taken. But in fact? In the past ten days, our army has not made the slightest progress, and nothing else has been left to say goodbye to Na Xie An. He still has nearly 80,000 Liang troops in his hands! ”

"......" opened his mouth, and a hint of gloom flashed in Liu Qing's eyes.

"Deputy Marshal ......" Tianquan God General Wei Hu reminded Wu Heng in a low voice.

Nodding slightly towards Wei Hu, Wu Heng glanced at the Taiping Army generals who were glaring at him on the opposite side, turned his head and continued to say to Liu Qing. The subordinates were excited, and there was something offensive to the princess in their words, and they hoped that the princess would bear with them...... The last general thinks that our army should no longer entangle with Na Xie An at the mouth of the lake now. That Xie An's intentions are so obvious, and he is waiting for help. Even the last general with less qualifications than the Chinese can't hide this matter, how can the princess not see through it? -- Since the princess did not want to appease the 80,000 Liang army of Xie An who was nailed to the mouth of the lake and the rear of our army, then the last general dared to suggest that the troops be divided...... From the end of the general to take Koto! -- After all, Xie An is just a minor fetish, and Jiangdong and even the entire Jiangnan are the purpose of our army's uprising! ”

As soon as the words fell, the generals of Wu Heng's faction in the tent spoke out one after another to boost Wu Heng's momentum.

"What Wu Shuai said is extremely true!"

"Princess Mingjian, what Wu Shuai said is a good word!"

Looking at the more than 20 generals above the level of more than 5,000 generals in the tent, sixty percent of those who supported Wu Heng did not include the Taiping Army [Six Divine Generals] who did not intervene such as Withered Sheep, Wei Hu, Wei Xuan, etc., which made Yang Yu, the commander of the pro-soldiers guarding near the tent, secretly frown.

Sure enough, Chen Shuai was not in the camp, and relying on himself and others alone could not deter Wu Heng's group......

Thinking of this, Yang Yu looked at Liu Qing with a worried gaze.

"Divide the troops?" Liu Qing muttered a few words, and suddenly asked softly, "How many people does Vice Marshal Wu plan to take away?" ”

"100,000 people!" Wu Heng said in a deep voice.

As soon as the words fell, a general of Chen Bei's faction stood up and reprimanded angrily, "Wu Heng, are you too much? actually asked the princess to use 50,000 people to fight against Xie An's 80,000 Liang army? - What are your intentions?! ”

"What is my heart? Xu Le, what you said is funny! Glancing at the general who interjected, Wu Heng said lightly, "You mean, with the amazing intelligence of Her Royal Highness the Princess, is it still no match for Xie An's rat generation?" - It's not good to say this, Chang that Xie An's ambition will destroy the majesty of Her Royal Highness the Princess......"

The general's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he hurriedly said, "When did Xu say that Her Royal Highness the princess would be no match for Xie An's and other rats?" ”

Wu Heng chuckled lightly and said lightly, "In that case, why are you so excited?" ――Isn't it out of distrust of Her Royal Highness? ”

"I ...... I ......" Xu Le's face was even more panicked when he heard this, he turned to face Liu Qing, clenched his fists and said urgently, "Her Royal Highness Princess Mingjian, don't listen to Wu Heng's provocation, Mo will be loyal to Her Royal Highness the Princess...... Well, the last general firmly believes that even if there are only 50,000 soldiers, Her Royal Highness the Princess can defeat Na Xie An's 80,000 Liang army! ”

Looking at Xu Le's panicked face, Liu Qing comforted him with kind words, "General Xu's loyalty, I naturally understand in my heart, General Xu will sit down and ...... first."

After that, Liu Qing sighed secretly in her heart, Xu Le's loyalty, she naturally knew that the problem was that this person was too reckless, and when he said this, she couldn't change her words again.

I have to say that although Xu Le was thinking about Liu Qing, he interjected so recklessly, but instead helped Wu Heng and told Liu Qing not to say anything more.

Could it be that she can still say to Wu Heng that 50,000 soldiers alone is really not enough to defeat Xie An's 80,000 Liang army, and you will give me some troops?

Liu Qing couldn't say this kind of thing, after all, she insisted on solving Xie An's 80,000 Liang army first, if she was asked to say this kind of self-destructive morale, it would be better to abandon Xie An directly and follow Wu Heng to Jiangdong.

After thinking for a while, Liu Qing nodded slowly, as if comforting herself. "Since Deputy Marshal Wu wants to take Jiangdong, the number of troops is certainly small, 100,000...... Just 100,000! ”

"Princess Mingjian!" Holding his fists and complimenting Liu Qing, Wu Heng smiled and said, "In that case, let's discuss the specific matters of dividing the troops, Wei Hu, Dry Sheep, and Wei Xuan, these three will go to Jiangdong together in the end......"

Listening to Wu Heng's specific division of troops, Liu Qing frowned.

After all, in Wu Heng's words. The elite troops of the 150,000 Taiping army were all withdrawn by him, and Liu Qing was only left with 50,000 troops in the rear battalion.

You must know that in the 150,000 Taiping Army, it can be divided into the front battalion, the middle battalion, the left and right battalions, and the rear battalion, although it is in the Great Zhou army. The division of strength of each battalion is not very obvious, but in the Taiping Army, due to the shortage of equipment and weapons, the combat effectiveness of each battalion is quite unbalanced.

Among them, the strongest combat effectiveness is undoubtedly the front battalion, that is, the vanguard army, the [Tianquan Army] under the command of the Tianquan Divine General Wei Hu, the [Tianshu Army] under the command of the Tianshu Divine General Kuyang, and the Tianji Army under the Tianji Divine General Wei Crepe. and the [Tianxuan Army] led by Wu Hengshen, who is the Tianxuan Divine General, and the direct 10,000 soldiers and horses under the command of the Six Divine Generals all belong to the front battalion.

Compared with the front battalion, the combat effectiveness of the middle battalion and the left and right battalions of Taiping soldiers was slightly reduced. However, it can be regarded as a complete set of armor, at least each of the officers and soldiers in the army has a complete set of armor and weapons, but in terms of overall strength, it is still weaker than the front battalion.

Of course. The [Tianfu Army] directly under Chen Bei, the third-generation commander of the Taiping Army, was not included, although this special army of 300 people was because it was to protect Liu Qing's safety. is counted in the Chinese army, but in terms of strength, it can be said that any of the six divine armies can be said to explode, after all, those three hundred people, even if they are soldiers, have the martial arts of a thousand generals, especially when Chen Bei personally leads, it is difficult to imagine what obstacles this elite army that can be called against the sky will encounter any obstacles.

Unless it is facing countless crossbows, otherwise, as long as the ratio of forces is within 1 to ten, throughout the Great Zhou world, no army can defeat the Tianfu army. And this is the reason why Wu Heng didn't turn his face with Yang Yu two days ago because of jealousy.

The so-called rear battalion is actually the non-commissioned officers in charge of logistics, and the sergeants and soldiers of the army generally only have weapons, and they cannot achieve the unity of weapons, some carry swords, some carry knives, some carry guns and halberds, and so on.

The reason why the army is called an army is that it has a unified equipment, just like a spearman of 10,000 people, and 10,000 spears are set up like a sea of spikes, so as to deter the invasion of cavalry.

Ah, an army with different weapons is at best a plate of scattered sand, and it is difficult to function. Of course, except for the assassins, among the Dongling and Jinling assassins under Xie An's command, there are also many who use strange weapons, such as the murderer [sickle] Mo Fei likes to use chain knives, Di Bu likes to use fists, Gou Gong likes to use poison, and even Xie An's third lady Jin Ling'er uses silver needles for acupuncture or iron wires as thin as a hair in most cases.

But in any case, it was only for the assassins who fought on a small scale, and the army fighting on the battlefield had to achieve the unity of weapons, even if it was only a spear.

Because of this, Liu Qing was really unhappy after hearing this.

What's more, Wu Heng actually directly took away Wei Hu, Dry Sheep, and Wei Xuan, you must know that the three of them are [Six Divine Generals], not only is their status far beyond ordinary generals, but the soldiers and horses in their hands are also the elite of the Taiping Army.

Putting aside the remaining two [Six Divine Generals] who stayed near Jingshan in Jingshan and Jiangxia, among the 150,000 troops led by Liu Qing at the moment, only Wei Hu's [Tianquan Army], Dry Sheep's [Tianshu Army], Wei Xuan's [Tianji Army], and Wu Hengren's directly subordinate soldiers and horses [Tianxuan Army] These four divine armies, that is, the most elite sergeants, and at present, Wu Heng can be said to have almost withdrawn all the elite soldiers, leaving only Liu Qing's 50,000 weak soldiers with uneven armor.

Not to mention that Yang Yu and other generals were unswerving, even Liu Qing's complexion was not very good-looking, after all, Wu Heng's move was simply to treat Liu Qing and others as outcasts.

"Vice Marshal Wu, what do you mean by this?"

It seemed that he noticed a little displeasure on Liu Qing's face, Wu Heng's face did not change, and said with a smile, "Princess, the last general thinks that like Xie An's and other bold men, they will never dare to leave the camp lightly." Therefore, it is undoubtedly overkill to keep the elite soldiers of our army in Hankou, in this case, it is better to take the last general to Jiangdong, and help the last general to take the entire Jiangdong in the shortest possible time, after all, our army has been delayed for many days before, isn't it? ”

Liu Qing frowned when she heard this, and said in a deep voice, "Then Xie An can't avoid the battle." That's because our army has 150,000 people, and now that Deputy Marshal Wu is going to Jiangdong with 100,000 soldiers, if this news is learned by that Xie An, how can he still cower in the camp? ”

"That's very simple," Wu Heng smiled slightly. Clenched his fists and said, "When the last general led the army to Jiangdong, as long as he walked quietly and silently, how could Xie An know?" - That Xie An's intention is to hold back our army, and now, if the princess can in turn drag her 80,000 Liang army here, give the last general enough time to take the entire Jiangdong...... That Xie An's back road was intercepted. The grain road was cut off, even if there were 80,000 elite Zhou troops, what else could they do? - During the period when the last general seized Jiangdong, the princess could also have a good time playing with Na Xie An. Isn't it? ”

"Play? ――Does Vice Marshal Wu think I'm playing games with that Xie An these days? Liu Qing's eyebrows froze, Wu Heng's words made her feel angry more than any of them, as if Wu Heng was saying that he would arrange important things on his behalf. She just needs to continue to play with Xie An in Hankou as she did a few days ago.

"Huh." Wu Heng is the son of the first deputy marshal Wu Wei after all, and he doesn't have to be afraid of Liu Qing like other generals in the army, he shrugged his shoulders with a chuckle when he heard this, shook his head and said, "Your subordinates never mean this!" ”

Although he said so, Liu Qing could really see the contempt in his eyes.

One by one......

Liu Qing's pretty face flushed slightly.

Whether it's Brother Chen or this Wu Heng, he always treats himself as a child......

Liu Qing hated being treated as a child, especially hating being treated as a child by the admired Chen Bei, for this reason, at that time, she had designed to kill Li Mao, the king of Yan who was far away in the north: instigated the people of Nanyang to riot, made more than 100,000 rebels in the west openly rebel, and even secretly supported Wang Bao, who was ambitious but had no corresponding ability.

It is undeniable that Liu Qing's design did hurt the vitality of the Great Zhou, and the generals of the DPRK and the central government, Wu Bang, and Lu Fan, the son of Lu Gong, these two commanders of the Western Expeditionary Army were successively beheaded on the battlefield by Chen Bei, who pretended to be the name of the rebels, which directly led to more than 100,000 casualties among the Zhou troops of the Western Expedition, and even the Southern Army fell into the camp and killed 14,000 people. You must know that since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the [Jijing Four Towns] army has never had such heavy casualties, even if Liang Qiuwu and Li Mao led 20,000 Shenwu battalions of the Eastern Army to block the southern invasion of 100,000 Beirong wolf cavalry ten years ago, there is no such casualty figure.

If it weren't for the help of the eldest grandson Xiangyu, a strategist, and if it weren't for her leading a detour to attack the rear of Qin Hangu Pass, Xie An and Li Shougen would not have been able to exterminate the rebels in the west who owned the two Hangu Xiongguan passes of Qin and Han.

In other words, if it weren't for the eldest grandson Xiangyu, the rebels in the western frontier would still be a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh of the Great Zhou court, and would still be a pawn used by the Taiping army to lure the Great Zhou army. It's a pity that Liu Qing was still in Jingzhou at the time, and the rebels in the west were not the opponent of the demon of Changsun Xiangyu.

Liu Qing still feels a little regretful about this matter, because her purpose at that time was to eradicate Li Mao, the fierce beast of the Li royal family, after all, in the battle of northern Hebei, Li Mao's reputation spread all over the world, even louder than the reputation of Liangqiu Dance. Because Li Mao was the coach at the time, Liang Qiuwu was just the deputy coach.

It's a pity that that plan was ruined by the eldest grandson Xiangyu, well, more precisely, it should have been destroyed by Xie An, because if it weren't for Xie An, with the eldest grandson Xiangyu's empty temperament at that time, unless the rebels in the west were about to hit Jijing, otherwise, she would probably not bother to contribute to the imperial court. In fact, Xie An sometimes really doubted whether the actions of the eldest grandson Xiangyu to help Liang Qiu Wu and Li Mao in the first battle of northern Hebei were for the sake of the Great Zhou, or was it just to prove to Liang Qiu Wu, a fierce rival, that she was better than her and could play with the enemies she couldn't deal with...... Well, with her temperament, it should be the latter.

Compared with the eldest grandson Xiangyu, Liu Qing definitely has the potential to be called a demon in terms of wisdom, but compared to the former, the current Liu Qing is still immature after all, after all, she is about six years younger than the eldest grandson Xiangyu, and her heart is slightly inferior to the eldest grandson Xiangyu before she met Xie An, so after noticing Wu Heng's contemptuous gaze, Liu Qing secretly cheered herself up in her heart, wanting to prove herself by defeating Xie An's 80,000 Liang army.

But despite this, with 50,000 weak soldiers with uneven armor, Liu Qing really didn't have much confidence, and she was really conceited about herself. But conceit is not the same as stupidity, using 50,000 weak soldiers with uneven armor to fight Xie An's 80,000 well-equipped Liang army, even in her opinion, is self-defeating. She didn't want to deal with Xie An here just to drag Xie An down, as Wu Heng said.

After thinking about it, Liu Qing said to Wu Heng, "In the front camp, the two generals of Dry Sheep and Wei Xuan stayed!" ”

The Tianshu God General Withered Sheep and the Tianji God General Wei Crepe, the two of them belonged to a rare neutral faction in the Taiping Army. Neither fell to Chen Bei, Liu Qing, nor to Wu Heng, and the two of them were not bad, and because of this, Liu Qing hoped that Wu Heng would keep these two.

Wu Heng frowned when he heard this. In fact, when he made the so-called suggestion, he knew that Liu Qing would ask him for someone, but Liu Qing directly opened his mouth to ask for the withered sheep and Wei Xuan, which caught Wu Heng a little off guard.

In Wu Heng's view, Wei Xuan, who is not talented, is not visible for the time being, but Withered Sheep is a general with both martial arts. even has enough qualifications to serve as the commander of the first army, and the withered sheep is the only descendant of the Jinling Ram family, and it can be said that he is a good seed in the Taiping Army. has a similar background to Wu Heng, so Wu Heng can hope to pull the withered sheep to his side.

Of course, Wu Heng didn't know that Dry Sheep had a brother-in-law who served as an important minister in the Great Zhou court. Moreover, his brother-in-law is leading 80,000 Liang troops at the moment, blocking their 150,000 troops here.

Just when Liu Qing and Wu Heng couldn't discuss. The Heavenly Power God General Wei Xuan stood up and said with a smile, "That's it, it's better to stay with the last general...... as he spoke, he glanced at Wu Heng with an inquiring gaze.

"......" probably didn't expect Wei Xuan to take the initiative to stand up, Wu Heng was slightly stunned, and after thinking about it carefully, he nodded. After all, Wu Heng values the withered sheep more than Wei Xuan, who has become a Tianji god general for some reason.

It can only be said that Wu Heng underestimated Wei Xuan, and the person who could be accepted as a chess piece by the eldest grandson Xiangyu was by no means an ordinary person. The reason why Wei Xuan behaves in a low-key manner on weekdays is just that he doesn't want to attract the attention of others, after all, he is the eldest grandson Xiangyu who was inserted in the Taiping Army, and has leaked information about the Taiping Army to the Great Zhou Court more than once.

And the reason why Wei Xuan took the initiative to stay this time was not to help Liu Qing, or to relieve Wu Heng, the most fundamental reason was nothing more than Xie An, the commander of the Zhou army who led the army opposite, and was the husband of his master, Sun Xiangyu, in Wei Xuan's view, as long as he curried favor with Xie An, he was bound to become one of the magnates of the Great Zhou court in the future.

For example, the important figure of Heavenly Ji [Liu Qing], the head of the Taiping Army, was presented in front of that adult......

Of course, he didn't dare to take any action for the time being, after all, he wanted to be rich and prosperous, but he cared more about his life than his future.

If he dared to have any plans against Liu Qing at the moment, let alone Chen Bei, who was currently on his way to Jiangling in Nanjun, Yang Yu's three hundred Tianfu troops alone would be enough to tear him to pieces.

first get rid of Yang Yu's 300 Tianfu army, and then get rid of Chen Bei, [Heavenly Ji] Liu Qing is just an ordinary beautiful girl......

I heard that Master Xie seems to be quite fond of women......

Scold!

Quietly glancing at Liu Qing, Wei Xuan smiled slightly, his face did not show the slightest abnormality, and he saluted Liu Qing respectfully.

I'm afraid that even Liu Qing and Wu Heng didn't expect that there was a sharp blade lurking beside them that was enough to kill them.

Leaving the Tianji God General Wei Xuan, Wu Heng drew 20,000 elites from the left camp to replace Liu Qing's 50,000 weak soldiers, and after that, he had reorganized his troops and horses in the name of going to Jiangdong, and got up to say goodbye.

"......" glanced at the back of Wu Heng leaving, and then at [Heavenly Ji] Liu Qing, the withered sheep was thoughtful in his heart, and he still recalled the conversation between Liu Qing and Wu Heng in his mind.

[Does Vice Marshal Wu mean to take over the power of the palace and give orders on behalf of the palace?] ]

[Don't dare, Her Royal Highness the princess is serious, how dare the last general have such thoughts......]

Is it just [dare]?

Do you not dare to have the ambition to give orders on behalf of this princess for the time being?

Thinking of this, the withered sheep frowned.

"Withered sheep!" Seeing the withered sheep sitting in the banquet without moving, Wei Hu called his friend with a puzzled face.

Nodding, the withered sheep stood up and followed Wei Hu out of the tent.

Half a day later, the Taiping army was divided into two groups, of which the 100,000 group began to march to Jiangdong one after another, because it was necessary to hide from Xie An in the Zhou military camp opposite, so the Taiping army was quite careful when marching.

At the same time, Wu Heng handed over a confidant general to his account.

"Shuai takes the first step, Ma goes, you take a dozen personal guards and stay near this Hankou. Three days later, the letter was shot into the Zhou camp at night...... You can't talk about it to anyone, you know? ”

Looking at Wu Heng's solemn expression, the general named Ma Fu nodded, hid the letter close to him, and left the tent.

Looking at the back of Ma Xiang's departure, Wu Heng's eyes flashed a little cold.

Hum! It seems that the yellow-haired girl who doesn't know what to do, how can she give up her father's hard work?
