Chapter 53: Liang Qiu vs. Eldest Sun: Instant Battle!
Time goes back to the early morning of April 4, when the withered sheep who had been in a coma for two whole days was in the small ancestral hall in the backyard of the Donggong Mansion with Yiyi, who had saved his life, in the commander of the Liangqiu military camp in the western suburbs of Jijing, Liangqiu Wu was holding back his anger and listening to the reports of Chen Gang and Ma Dan.
It has been two days since the eldest Sun Xiangyu and Jin Ling'er went to the Liangqiu army to eat, and the huge Zhulinpo military camp has been frequently attacked by the assassins of the Changsun Army headed by Jin Ling'er in the past two nights, so that dozens of Jizhou army deputy generals in the army are out, and even the other party is still drugged in the well in the camp, so that more than 2,000 people in the Liangqiu military camp have accidentally drunk the water that has been thrown laxatives, and the ground is in a mess, where is there any combat power at all.
You must know that before this, even if they were defeated once, the morale of the soldiers of the Liangqiu Army was still high, but now that they have been so organized, the high morale of the soldiers will inevitably become a little low, and it is no wonder that after all, even if there are many unlucky guys who are about to be dehydrated, they will inevitably run to every corner of the camp with red faces.
It's really bad, this kind of trick......
Rao is Xie An is accustomed to all kinds of conspiracies made by the eldest grandson Xiangyu, and after learning about this, he couldn't laugh.
Originally, the Zhulinpo military camp of the Liangqiu Army, because there were large bamboo forests on the right and right rear, the air was very fresh, but now......
He didn't dare to patrol the camp for the past two days, but if you think about it, you can understand that there are more than 2,000 people......
"Damn! Damn it! -- What such a despicable trick! In the coach's tent, Liang Qiuwu pounded the table with his hand with anger on his face. Straight to the table smashed out of the cracks.
Glancing at Chen Gang, Ma Dan couldn't see that the Liangqiu dance under him was angry. Hurriedly picked up nice words and said, "Great marshal, the last general thinks that this is a trick by the Changsun army to force our army to fight...... According to yesterday's battle report, the Tang Hao army in the upper and lower reaches of the Xinfeng River and the downstream wanted to cross the river. But it was blocked by General Yan Kai and led the army, and returned in vain, and in the upstream, Su Xin's army was defeated by General Lin Zhen's tiger power, and lost three battles in two days, and now General Lin Zhen has mostly planned to cross the river to counterattack Su Xin's army......"
According to the battle reports of the past two days, Ma Dan made his own judgment in a free way. Of course, in order to make Liang Qiuwu, the commander of his army, be able to alleviate his anger a little, he said it all with good words, but in fact, not to mention the downstream Tang Hao and Yan Kai won and lost each other, and Su Xin, who had lost three times in a row in the upstream. The loss of its troops is not so serious, the so-called three defeats, at best, are just a test to find out Lin Zhen's ability to command troops, and the losses of the three defeats are all added together, which is only about a thousand people. It can be said that it is minimal.
"What General Ma said is extremely true!" Chen Gang clenched his fists and went out to echo.
To be honest, Chen Gang has always been the main battle faction. The combat style is extremely aggressive, just two days ago, he still advocated fighting with the Changsun army, instead of passively defending like now, waiting for his own army in the upper and lower reaches of the Xinfeng River to come with good news, but today, he is very rare to support Ma Dan.
The reason is very simple, Chen Gang doesn't want to let the current Liangqiu dance play.
Looking at Liang Qiuwu's angry face, Chen Gang couldn't help but think of what happened on the battlefield in northern Hebei six years ago.
At that time, the Liangqiu Dance, also because of the Beirong wolf cavalry step by step and anxious, because of the huge casualties of the Eastern Army and angry, at that time, Chen Gang, did not know what would happen if the Liangqiu Dance was allowed to fight, with his own bravery, proposed to lead the cavalry of the small shareholder army to attack the rear of the Beirong wolf cavalry, and finally although it successfully attracted the attention of the Beirong wolf cavalry, but also made the three hundred light cavalry led by him annihilated, and even he himself almost died on the battlefield, which directly caused Liangqiu Wu to become angry and violent after learning about this, and his temperament changed greatly.
This matter, not only Chen Gang, but also the four generals of the Eastern Army secretly regretted that they should implement the plan of Changsun Xiangyu to lure the enemy into depth, instead of sending troops to attack before the 100,000 Beirong wolf cavalry completely wanted to withdraw the army.
The current situation is the same as in the northern Hebei battlefield, how can Chen Gang sit back and watch Liangqiu Dance send troops in a state of anger again?
You must know that the four generals Yan Kai, Chen Gang, Xiang Qing, and Luo Chao, strictly speaking, can be regarded as the servants of the Liangqiu family in the Donggong Mansion, but compared to the ordinary servants, they have a lot of military power, after all, their family has been attached to the Liangqiu family in the Donggong Mansion for generations, but from another point of view, the four generals of the Eastern Army who grew up watching Liangqiu Dance since childhood are not similar to the existence of their brothers?
This is also the reason why after Xie An did that to Liang Qiuwu at the beginning, the four generals of the Eastern Army were furious when they heard the news, and they wanted to cramp and peel Xie An.
We must not let the young lady play in this state!
Seeing the angry expression on Liang Qiuwu's face, Chen Gang warned himself like this that this belligerent general of the Eastern Army had become a very rare conservative this time, and in turn supported Ma Dan and persuaded Liangqiu Wu to not be able to fight, because he knew very well that Liang Qiuwu in this state, once he led the army to fight, it was very likely that he would not be able to control the anger in his heart and repeat the mistakes made in the Northern Hebei battlefield six years ago.
However, he also knew that he alone was not enough to stop Liangqiu Dance, so he frequently glanced at Xie An, the uncle of the Liangqiu family, and then left the handsome tent with Ma Dan.
As Chen Gang expected, Liang Qiu Wu when he was alone with Xie An was indeed much easier to talk than before, at least the tone was not so tough.
"Second Brother Chen is right, Wu'er, right now, you shouldn't fight......" With a somewhat summarized tone, Xie An said to Liang Qiuwu.
"......" looked at Xie An for a while, Liang Qiuwu opened his mouth, and then the angry expression on his face gradually disappeared, and he sighed faintly, which made Xie Anxin jump.
After all, in Xie An's memory, Liang Qiu Wu had never sighed with such a resentful look.
"What's wrong, Mai'er?" Walking forward, Xie An asked softly, he obviously sensed that something was wrong with Liang Qiu Dance.
Liang Qiuwu shook his head, sat silently on the main seat, and after half a sound, he sighed slightly and said, "Ann, do you think I can win against that woman?"
Xie An naturally knew that the woman in Liang Qiuwu's mouth was referring to the eldest grandson Xiangyu. Hearing this, he swore and said, "Of course. Wu'er is a general! -- The best among the heroes! ”
Liang Qiuwu's eyes showed a little joy when he heard this, and then this joy was diluted by inexplicable sadness, and he looked directly at Xie An and said bitterly, "If you really believe that I can win against that woman, why do you want to work with Second Brother Chen to stop me from leading the army to battle?"
"This ......" Xie An hesitated, after all, he really didn't explain it like Liang Qiu Wu, could it be that he could say that you are fighting at the moment. Victory or defeat is still secondary, and you are likely to be affected by the atmosphere of the battlefield and go berserk, attacking all the moving guys regardless of whether they are friends or enemies?
Seeing that Xie An wanted to speak and stopped, Liang Qiuwu's beautiful eyes gradually dimmed, with a little self-deprecation, and said bitterly, "Actually, I know more or less." I couldn't win against that woman because we had different ways of fighting...... She pursues the art of war that must win, and will do whatever it takes to achieve her ends, but I am always stumped by this and that, by many things......"
Xie An was stunned when he heard this. Then he suddenly realized that Liang Qiuwu was thinking of Gaoyang City on the battlefield in northern Hebei back then, which was regarded as a bait abandoned by the eldest grandson Xiangyu.
"What did you say!" Walked over to Liang Qiuwu and sat down, gently put his arm around her shoulder, Xie An said. "Unscrupulous means to achieve the end, and the husband hates this too. Even if he was taught a lesson by Xiangyu in Luoyang, his husband still thinks that this is everyone's natural character, and it can be regarded as human values......"
"......" Liang Qiuwu looked at Xie An silently, with a little doubt in his eyes.
"Don't you understand?" Xie An smiled bitterly, stroked Liang Qiu Wu's hair and said softly, "Everyone has their own insistence in their hearts, I think this is very good, people are not sages, how can they not have advantages and disadvantages?--As for what Wu'er said, the husband doesn't think it is a disadvantage......"
“……”
"My husband has always felt that Wu'er is a very upright person, although he is a little dull and not tactful enough......"
Listening to Xie An's [shortcomings], Liang Qiuwu's face was slightly red.
"However, the husband likes dancing even more...... Of course, it's not that she doesn't like Xiangyu, if she can have less intrigue and trickery, well, when she is well-behaved, she is still very likable......" Xie An, who counted the eldest grandson Xiangyu behind his back, felt a little weak-hearted, and hurriedly added a few words, after all, in his opinion, Liangqiu Dance also has a fatal flaw, that is, he is keen to show off his words in front of Jin Ling'er and eldest grandson Xiangyu Xie An praised her.
I still remember that a few days ago, Xie An just told Liang Qiuwu that she was the wife of the Xie family in his mind because of his gaffe, but this stupid woman showed off in front of the eldest grandson Xiangyu and Jin Ling'er in a blink of an eye, and the eldest grandson Xiangyu and Jin Ling'er were half to death angrily.
Of course, Xie An also knew that Liang Qiuwu couldn't be blamed for this matter, after all, this stupid woman's idea was very simple, purely like a filial son to show off her status in the eyes of her husband Xie An to the eldest grandson Xiangyu and Jin Ling'er, hoping to get the recognition and recognition of the two women, unfortunately, the other two women are not fuel-efficient lamps.
Maybe others don't know, but Xie An knows very well that Liang Qiuwu is not a very confident woman, although she has shocking force, but in front of the eldest grandson Xiangyu, she really has no confidence, which can be seen from Xie An's first acquaintance with her and the eldest grandson Xiangyu.
It's not that Liangqiu Dance is weak, it's just that she has been strictly taught since she was a child, and she has been subject to too many secular constraints, and she can't be as unscrupulous as Changsun Xiangyu, thinking that back then, Changsun Xiangyu, a woman who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, dared to calculate her, the twelfth generation of the Liangqiu family in Donggong Mansion, and even Li Wei, the powerful prince at that time, dared to calculate, but what about Liangqiu Wu? Even after knowing that he was calculated by the eldest grandson Xiangyu, he didn't dare to say anything, lest this matter make a big deal and bring a lot of inconvenience and negative impact to her family.
“…… But even so, the husband still feels that Wu'er's ability is more than that! Speaking of this, Xie An hesitated for a moment, he felt that instead of using such empty words to appease Liang Qiu Wu, it would be better to reveal some more real facts.
Thinking of this, Xie An continued, "Wu'er, do you know? In fact, Xiangyu is very afraid of you......"
"Huh?" As Xie An expected, Liang Qiu Wu was stunned when he heard this.
"It's not just Xiangyu, everyone who knows is afraid of you, even your husband is ......" said here. Seeing that Liang Qiuwu seemed to want to say something, Xie An raised his hand. Gently touching her red lips, she continued, "Of course, it's not that I'm afraid of you now, but I'm afraid of you when I lose my mind...... Got an impression? The night that His Royal Highness King Yan and His Royal Highness Xian came to my couple's mansion for a banquet?"
Liang Qiuwu bit her lip when she heard this, and lowered her head silently.
It seems that this stupid woman doesn't feel it at all, it is very likely that it is because of the psychological shadow of killing the soldiers of the Eastern Army by mistake when she was on the battlefield in northern Hebei, which made her subconsciously not want to face herself when she was in that image......
I thought about it for a moment. Xie An held Liang Qiuwu's shoulders with both hands, and said, "In the Chang'an battlefield, I once met a rare fierce general in the world, in the eyes of the husband, there is no stronger guy in the world than that guy, and the husband called him so." [One-man Army]! - [One Man into an Army]! ”
"......" Liang Qiuwu frowned slightly when she heard this, she knew very well who Xie An was referring to, and that was her cousin Liang Qiuhao, no, it should be called Chen Bei now.
Seeing that Liang Qiu Wu seemed to have guessed, Xie An no longer hid it. said directly, "Uncle Brother has the possibility of reversing the victory or defeat on the battlefield by himself...... This can be done by Wu'er now, but. It's not a dance that her husband admires and is familiar with, but a woman who is obviously called Liangqiu Dance, but is called a strange woman for her husband......"
"......" Liang Qiu Wu opened his mouth. Looking at Xie An in surprise, Xiu's eyes turned slightly, and he didn't know what to think about.
Gently holding Liang Qiu Wu in his arms, Xie An whispered in a gentle tone, "If you can, my husband really doesn't want to see that kind of dance again, that kind of dance is really terrifying......
"Ann, I'm ......"
"But Weifu believes that sooner or later, Wu'er will be able to control that power and not be affected by the negative effects of Liangqiu's [Wuyan] stunt......" Speaking of this, Xie An's tone changed and he said with a smile, "In the past two days, Wu'er has been very angry, right?" Not to mention the dance, the husband is also very angry! -- Look at what Xiangyu is doing, making the whole barracks smelly...... Why don't we teach that woman a lesson?"
"An ......" Liang Qiuwu looked at Xie An with incredible eyes, and said in surprise, "Didn't you allow me to fight at this time?"
"Well, I've changed my mind for my husband," hugged Liang Qiuwu lightly, Xie An said with a smile, "If you do something wrong, you will be punished, right?--Let's work together to tie up that unbehaving woman and take her home and punish her well......" As he spoke, he whispered a few words in Liang Qiuwu's ear, only to hear Liang Qiuwu's face blushing, and he was speechless.
"This ...... That's not good...... What stripping naked......" Liang Qiuwu, who was red-faced and red-eared, couldn't go on.
"Huh? How can Wu'er speak for her?" Deliberately pretending to have an exaggerated expression, Xie An smiled and said, "Aren't you punished for doing something wrong?"
"But that kind of thing ......," Liang Qiuwu showed some hesitation on his face.
Seeing this, Xie An blinked, and said softly with a bit of temptation, "But in this way, she will lose face in front of Wu'er, and she will not be able to put up a stand in the future, and she will not be able to bully you anymore......"
Hearing this, Liang Qiuwu was thrilled, after all, she had indeed been bullied by her eldest grandson Xiangyu many times.
Seeing that Liang Qiu Wu seemed to have taken the bait, Xie An secretly snickered, coughed, and deliberately said with a straight face, "But the premise is, does Wu'er have the confidence to be able to defeat her?" Don't rely on the strength that is said to be feared by the husband......"
"This ......" Liang Qiuwu's eyes showed a little hesitation, after all, she was a very honest woman.
Seeing this, Xie An deliberately sighed and said with a regretful face, "What, Wu'er didn't even have self-confidence, and her husband still expects Wu'er to take a bad breath for her husband, and teach that unbehaving woman a good lesson......"
Seeing that her husband Xie An showed a disappointed expression towards herself, a trace of anxiety flashed in Liang Qiuwu's eyes, and she bit her lip, her eyes gradually becoming sharper.
"What if...... If that's what my husband wants, I'...... I do my best! ”
Even if you are suspicious, don't you say a few words to support the scene?
This stupid woman...... Honesty is too much, right?
"Then I'll wait and see!" As he spoke, Xie An whispered a few words in Liang Qiuwu's ear.
"Hmm......" Liang Qiuwu, who was red-faced and red-eared, nodded.
Half an hour later, Liang Qiujun conveyed to the eldest grandson army the meaning of accepting the battle as stated in the battle letter, which made the eldest grandson Xiangyu, who received the news, feel a little surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, she also felt that this matter was reasonable.
After all, in the past two days, several assassins led by Jin Ling'er had tossed the entire Liangqiu military camp in Zhulinpo to the ground, especially the dose of laxative that was put into the well in the camp, which caused 2,000 people to have diarrhea of varying degrees......
Under this kind of tactics of yin damage, if the Liangqiu army stubbornly defends the camp and does not fight, then in a few days, the more than 8,000 soldiers and horses under the command of Liangqiu Wu will not have the capital to fight.
This is the opportunity that a few Assassins have brought to the whole battle......
Thinking of this, the eldest grandson Xiangyu quietly glanced at Jin Ling'er, who was holding his chin and didn't know what he was thinking, and secretly sighed in his heart.
If this woman in the Northern Hebei Battlefield six years ago was his own combat power, he would not need to bear the great notoriety of abandoning Gaoyang's 80,000 soldiers and civilians as bait, although only the Ministry of War and a few people knew about this matter.
After all, according to her understanding, Jin Ling'er six years ago, the eldest sister on the underworld in the area of Jinling City, although the hatred for Da Zhou in her heart may have been slightly reduced, but it is impossible to contribute to the imperial court, and in the past, she cooperated with the crown prince Li Wei just to fight for Jinling City.
Taking a step back, even now, this woman will most likely not serve the Great Zhou court, after all, her parents, to some extent, died under the persecution of the Great Zhou government, although it was because they were implicated by the Taiping army hiding in Jiangnan.
At the moment, the object of her allegiance is only her husband of Jin Ling'er, who is also the husband of her eldest grandson Xiangyu, Xie An, except for this, no one can order this woman who is actually no less ruthless than herself.
Therefore, the tactics I formulated at the beginning were correct......
Thinking of this, the eldest grandson Xiangyu snapped the folding fan in his hand, looked back at Fei Guo and other generals who were standing in the tent waiting for orders, and said softly, "Fei Guo, I appointed you as the main general this time, and I will greet the slave family, don't disappoint the slave family......
"Yes!" Fei Guo was excited and responded to the order of the eldest grandson Xiangyu.
Confronting his eldest master, Jijing's No. 1 combat force [Yan Hu Ji] Liangqiu Dance Battlefield, how could this not make Fei Guo excited.
Fei Guo, who was excited, didn't notice the inexplicable smile on the corner of the eldest grandson Xiangyu's mouth.
Lord Fujun agreed to Sister Xiao Wu's fight at this time, does this mean ......
I hope so, otherwise this exercise will be too boring!
