Chapter 132: The Coming Fierce Battle
After noon that day, the Zhou soldiers completely withdrew their troops and returned to the camp.
I remember that before I came, Xie An thought about taking advantage of the time when Li Cheng, the king of Anling, hit the morale of the Qin king's army, to see if he could have the opportunity to launch a round of strikes against Xiangyang City, but as a result, the methods used by the fifth master to torture the Qin king Li Shen were too shocking, not to mention that the Qin king's side was scared like earth, and even the 100,000 Zhou soldiers were scared to their legs.
Obviously to hit the morale of the enemy army, forcing Li Shen, the king of Qin, to take the initiative to show up, but the morale of both armies fell, which really surprised Xie An.
Back in the camp, the fifth master, that is, Li Cheng, the king of Anling, went back to his wooden house to drink with a smile on his face, and it seemed that most of them wanted to celebrate themselves, leaving Xie An, Liu Qing and the generals of the Zhou army to stare at the Shuaisu.
It can be seen that this group of people has not completely shaken off the shock.
After a full half of the ring, Liang Cheng, the commander of the Great Liang Army, broke the strange silence in the room.
"After this time, Li Shen, the king of Qin, will inevitably fight with the Fifth Highness・・・・・・"
"But this should be the purpose of the Fifth Highness, right?" Gulping down the liquor and suppressing the discomfort in his abdomen that had not stopped, Ma Dan, the deputy marshal of the Jizhou Army, said in a low voice.
To tell the truth, although everyone in the Zhou army has a pot of spirits, but it is only used to ward off the cold, and it is really against military regulations to drink like Ma Dan, but today, no one questioned him because of this matter, even Xie An, who was the boss, did not speak.
In fact, since the precedent was set by beating Ma Dan, many generals such as Ou Peng, Liao Li, Dian Ying, and Cheng Yang couldn't help but follow Ma Dan's example and use spirits to dispel the discomfort in their stomachs.
"Has Li Cheng, the fifth son of the emperor, always been so ruthless?" Qi Zhi, the former Taiping Army's six god generals who had not been in the Zhou army for a long time, asked Cheng Yang beside him with a pale face.
Cheng Yang shook his head, saying that he didn't know about the matter, and then turned his head to look at Fei Guo, after all, Fei Guo was one of the first generals to follow Xie An, and he was originally from Jizhou soldiers, and he had a relationship with the former crown prince Li Wei and the five sons of the emperor and the party, and he was closer than anyone present except Xie An.
Noticing Cheng Yang's inquiring gaze, Fei Guochang let out a long breath, shook his head and said, "It's hard for me to evaluate this, compared to my impression, the current Fifth Highness is even more ruthless......
At this moment, Xie An walked out from behind the wooden wind shield in the house, and at this time, he had changed into a vermilion brocade robe, lining the young magnate in the Great Zhou court to be more heroic and chic.
There's no way, who told him that the one he was wearing before was vomited by Liu Qing.
"Sniff what!" Seeing Xie An sniffing his sleeves and other parts with an uncomfortable face, Liu Qing muttered in a low voice as if angry, "However, looking at her flushed face, I think it was not just a complaint that she comforted herself.
“… Glancing at Liu Qing helplessly, Xie An shook his head, then walked towards the generals and said in a deep voice, "What Ma Dan said, you need to keep it in mind, after today's events, King Li Shen of Qin and His Royal Highness the Fifth Highness will certainly be immortal, but for us and ・・・・・・ relationship will definitely be much more tense than before!" -- You need to be careful! ”
"Yes, the last general obeys!" The people in the house will bow respectfully.
After all, after today's events with common sense, the relationship between Qin Wangjun and Zhou Bing will inevitably evolve into an endless relationship, after all, Xie An will not be able to tie up the domineering fifth master who cooked several people and send it to Qin King Li Shen, on the contrary, he will join forces with Li Cheng to deal with Qin King Li Shen, you must know that although Li Cheng's methods are so chilling, it is always Qin King Li Shen who is the real culprit who caused this turmoil. And in this way, if Li Shen, the king of Qin, wants to cut Li Cheng with thousands of knives and pieces, he is bound to defeat the 100,000 Zhou soldiers under Xie An's command.
When the Zhou soldiers retreated, Li Shen, the king of Qin, did not kill him immediately, it was only because the Baishui army was also frightened by the domineering five masters like the Zhou soldiers, but tomorrow, it is not difficult to guess that the Qin army's army will start the most vicious battle with the Zhou soldiers.
"Okay, that's the end of today, I guess the generals are tired too, so let's go down and rest! - Fei Guo, Liang Cheng, Ma Dan, and Tang Hao stayed! Clapping his hands, Xie An dismissed the generals in the room, after all, witnessing that shocking scene today, there was no one in the Zhou army who was not emaciated, at least Xie An felt unusually tired at the moment.
But even so, there are some things that Xie An still has to take precautions in advance, for example, the main general who guards the four directions of the camp. Although the White Water Army may not have the energy to attack the Zhou camp at night today, but this kind of thing on the battlefield has always been inaccurate, God knows if Li Shen, the king of Qin, will do the opposite?
"Liang Cheng, your Liang army is the main defender of the west of the camp, after today, the Qin Wangjun is bound to regard us as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, and there is a chance that we will fight to the death with our army, so most of them will choose to storm the nearest west gate of our camp...... You have a great responsibility and you must not be negligent! ”
"Yes, the last general obeys!" Liang Cheng bowed and hugged his fists, his face faintly showing a little joy, after all, in his opinion, Xie An entrusted the most important Xiying carte blanche to his Great Liang Army, which was obviously an affirmation of his Great Liang Army.
"Fei Guo, you guard the south camp, Ma Dan, you guard the north camp!" Xie An turned to look at Fei Guo and Ma Dan
It is definitely not that Fei Guo and Ma Dan's abilities are inferior to Liang Cheng, in fact, the first two are the best generals under Xie An's command to war, and the reason why they are called to guard the south camp and the north gate is just to allow the two to show their talents to the maximum. After all, Fei Guo and Ma Dan are both generals who have a very keen grasp of the battle situation, if the Qin Wangjun shows the slightest flaw when they storm the western camp of the Zhou army, these two will definitely lead their subordinates to attack both sides of the Qin Wangjun army from the southern camp and the northern camp, which is much better than simply asking the two of them to defend the western camp. As we all know, although Fei Guo and Ma Dannai coach Xie An's two positions are both offensive and defensive, in the final analysis, it is stronger than defensive, and let him simply be a defender, which is a bit overkill.
As for Tang Hao......
"Tang Hao, I'm going to wronged you this time......" Xie An glanced at Tang Hao apologetically.
You must know that Tang Hao is also a wise and brave general, but this time he asked him to guard the eastern camp, Xie An was really a little unhappy. It stands to reason that Li Shen, the king of Qin, may use roundabout tactics to attack the southern and northern camps of the Zhou army, but it is almost impossible to attack the eastern camp, after all, the eastern camp is too far away from the Xiangyang City where the Qin king's army is stationed, and it cannot be ruled out that the Qin royal army may be detected by the soldiers in the Zhou camp when it is secretly acting Therefore, unless there are special circumstances, Li Shen, the king of Qin, basically will not choose the eastern camp as the target of the attack. Of course, there are no absolute things on the battlefield, for the sake of prudence, Xie An still needs a handsome-level general to sit in Dongying, so as not to be exploited by Li Shen, the king of Qin.
For Xie An's suspicious gaze, Tang Hao smiled relievedly, clasped his fists and said, "My lord's words are serious, and my lord's appointment to the last general to sit in the rear defense is an affirmation of the last general!" ――Although the last general also has the heart to go into battle to kill the enemy and fight for meritorious deeds, but I don't want to hide it from my lordship, the wound suffered by the last time he attacked the company camp of the Qin king's coalition army has not yet healed......
Fei Guo, Ma Dan, Liang Cheng and others couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Tang Hao, although anyone can say flattery, but it is rare to say it so without any traces and without the slightest flattery!
Can't you see that Tang Hao, this kid is actually so good at talking? 丨
Fei Guo and Ma Dan glanced at each other, and it was not difficult to see the vigilance in each other's eyes that was obviously aimed at Tang Hao. It's no wonder, after all, there is only one position as the commander of the Jizhou soldiers, don't look at the good relationship between the two, the competition for military merit is still hot with each other, if you add another person...
Seeing Xie An patting Tang Hao's shoulder with a look of relief, and praising the latter, Fei Guo and Ma Dan secretly sighed, and they couldn't help but feel the pressure. After all, there is no shortage of brave warriors and generals in the Jizhou soldiers, Tang Hao and Zhang Dong are capable of competing with them for the position of commander
and Liao Li, if he can get rid of the character of only knowing how to advance and not knowing how to retreat, his achievements will never be worse than Fei Guo and Ma Dan.
From beginning to end, Liu Qing watched quietly from the side.
In all fairness, she doesn't know how the Zhou army is in other places, but she likes the atmosphere of the Jizhou soldiers very much, because there is no intrigue here, don't look at Fei Guo and Ma Dan are staring at the position of the commander of the Jizhou soldiers, but they are fighting with their military merits in a dignified manner, even the Taiping Army where she used to be can't compare, after all, at that time, Wu Heng didn't stumble her in secret.
"It is worthy of the Jizhou soldiers and the ...... of the Liang army"
When Xie An chuckled and looked at Fei Guo, Ma Dan, Liang Cheng, and Tang Hao, Liu Qing expressed a sentence that seemed to be a sigh and a complaint, which made Xie An who looked back quite inexplicable
"What?" Xie An looked at Liu Qing suspiciously.
Liu Qing didn't speak, because she guessed that as long as she told Fang Cai's thoughts, then this hateful guy in front of her would definitely make fun of her if she had a sense of belonging to Zhou Jun. And this kind of thing, although Liu Qing acquiesced in his heart, he would never admit it verbally.
You must know that in her opinion, this hateful guy in front of her likes to grab her handle to tease her the most, once she acquiesces in this matter, then tomorrow, the entire Zhou army camp may spread all over, although there is nothing bad about this, but Liu Qing has some resistance in her heart. After all, although she had the intention to use the power of the Zhou army to deal with Wu Heng, it did not mean that she would be included in the camp of the Zhou Dynasty, and she did not want to join any side if she could.
"No, it's nothing・・・・・・ let's get down to business!" Exhaling slightly, Liu Qing said seriously.
"Huh? Oh, then you say. Glancing at Liu Qing strangely, Xie An walked to the table and poured himself a glass of water, took a sip of tea, and waited quietly for Liu Qing's next words.
In fact, Liu Qing just wanted to divert the topic, but seeing that Xie An became so serious after hearing her words, she was embarrassed to tell the real situation, and after thinking about it for a while, she said in a deep voice, "What the fifth son of the emperor, Li Cheng, did today, although it violated human ethics and morality, but on the other hand, it was not without the slightest help to our army!" ”
"Help?" Xie An shook his head with a wry smile, and said as if mocking and self-deprecating, "I always feel like I'm waiting to be a villain, and I'm a complete villain!" ”
"Villain?" Liu Qing looked at Xie An suspiciously, secretly wondering why this man came up with so many strange terms.
"You can understand it as a wicked person!" Xie An explained succinctly and understandably.
Liu Qing nodded suddenly when he heard this, and said, "Are you worried, will our army lose its righteousness?" ”
Xie An smiled bitterly, before Zhou Jun was obviously the king of benevolence and righteousness, and Li Shen, the king of Qin, was the unrighteous teacher of rebellion, but being made by the fifth master like this, how will the people of the world look at it?
Shaking his head, Xie An said bitterly, "How vicious and cruel is the method of cooking and killing his wife first, then his son, and then his mother, how can such an evil act not be infamous by the people of the world?" Taking a step back, for the time being, regardless of how the people of the world will criticize this matter in the future, it only refers to the White Water Army under the command of Li Shen, the king of Qin. Maybe the White Water Army seems to be frightened by the Five Highnesses today, but as the so-called monarch worries about the humiliation of the ministers, and the king humiliates the ministers to death, today Li Shen, the king of Qin, was so viciously humiliated by the Fifth Highness in front of more than 100,000 people, especially in the last scene, the Five Highnesses actually forced the concubine Zhao to kneel at his feet in front of countless people and begged for no accidents. ――Is this called help? ”
Liu Qing glanced at Xie An with a little surprise when he heard this, after all, Xie An's grasp of the situation was indeed in place, and he pointed out the changes that might occur in the White Water Army. Of course, because he secretly put this hateful man at the height of his own strategist in his heart, Liu Qing also took it for granted!
"But at least, Li Shen, the king of Qin, will take the initiative to start a war with us this time, instead of deliberately avoiding the battle and demoralizing our army and delaying the battle period of our army as before, right?"
"This ......," Xie An frowned when he heard this.
Indeed, what Liu Qing said Xie An also considered. Li Shen, the king of Qin, was by no means good at his generation, and when he took the initiative to withdraw to Xiangyang, but did not easily start a war with the Zhou soldiers, Xie An couldn't help but secretly guess whether Li Shen, the king of Qin, had learned about the situation in Jiangdong.
In terms of the current national strength of the Great Zhou, it is really impossible to start a war on multiple fronts, not to mention, Li Mao, the king of Yan in the north, is definitely more powerful than the three kings, therefore, no matter what, it is impossible for the Jijing court to send additional reinforcements to Jiangdong, after all, Jijing is also the capital of the Great Zhou, in case it is captured by Li Mao, the king of Yan, it will not be a big chaos, and the whole world will become turbulent. At that time, the prestige of the Great Zhou court plummeted, and the Quartet would take the opportunity to make trouble, intending to get a piece of the pie in this troubled era, and this was exactly what Li Xian, Xie An and others wanted to avoid.
But for Li Shen, the king of Qin, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Just imagine, if Li Mao, the king of Yan in the north, and Wu Heng, the Taiping army in the south, really stirred up chaos in the Great Zhou, wouldn't he Li Shen be more sure to occupy the three states of Jing, Yi, and Liang?
In other words, in the tense atmosphere in which the whole world seems to be tense at the moment, with Li Shen's overall view, how can he easily start a war with the Zhou army, and he must not drag it all the time, drag it until the sky is wasted, the sea is dry, and Wu Heng, who has been dragged until Jiangdong, becomes more powerful, forcing Xie An to be in a dilemma?
At least in Xie An's opinion, if he was sitting in the position of Li Shen, the king of Qin, he would do it, it should be said, as long as he was not a fool, he would do it.
But now that the fifth master has placed such a situation under Xiangyang City, it has forced Li Shen, the king of Qin, to take the initiative to start a war with the Zhou army. Whether he really cares about his mother, his wife, and his son being killed, he is bound to give his subordinates and the people of the world an explanation.
Especially his biological mother, after all, Da Zhou is a country that attaches great importance to loyalty and filial piety, if Li Cheng abused and killed Li Shen's biological mother, and the latter still stuck to Xiangyang and did not dare to seek revenge from Li Cheng, then he Li Shen is not as good as the fifth master Li Cheng, a vicious person.
Not to mention what kind of lying on the salary to taste the courage and endure humiliation, once he is really notorious as a coward, there will definitely be no brave generals like Zhen Lei and Chen Zhao who take the initiative to defect, and even the generals under his command will gradually become estranged because of this matter, and finally do not resign.
But if a capable and arrogant fierce general does not know what happened, who would be willing to be loyal to a lord who can ignore even the revenge of killing his mother, wife, and son?
Therefore, Li Shen, the king of Qin, can't delay it even if he wants to, no matter what, he must start a vicious battle with the Zhou army, and this is exactly what Liu Qing said. After all, what Zhou Jun is most afraid of at the moment is that Li Shen, the king of Qin, deliberately delays time, and the evil deeds of the fifth master just put an end to this very likely phenomenon.
However, as soon as he mentioned the vicious war, Xie An subconsciously thought of a difficult problem, a problem that had been placed in front of him at the beginning and was difficult to overcome for a while.
That is, the general of the White Water Army is thundering!
A monster whose martial arts are slightly weaker than Liang Qiu Hao, whose intuition is slightly weaker than Liang Qiu Wu, and whose wit is slightly weaker than that of Changsun Xiangyu・・・・・・
"It looks like we're back to square ...... again," Xie An smacked his lips and said worriedly, taking a sip of tea.
Liu Qing is such a smart woman, hearing Xie An's words, she guessed his thoughts, and after thinking for a while, Zhengse said, "It's better to do this, you temporarily allocate tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to Li Cheng, the fifth son of the emperor, don't let him fight with our army......"
Xie An frowned when he heard this, and asked suspiciously, "Why is this?" ”
I saw Liu Qing say in a deep voice, "Tell Li Cheng to attack the south gate of Xiangyang, in this way, Li Shen, the king of Qin, will inevitably choose Li Cheng instead of our army, in other words, the one who fights with our army is..."
"Thunder?" A gleam flashed in his eyes, and Xie An asked in surprise, "Are you going to snipe the thunder?" ”
"Hmm!" Liu Qing nodded, and said, "The strength of the White Water Army is similar to that of our army, and the reason why the previous battles have fallen to the upper hand several times is nothing more than that the enemy army has a fierce general Thunder, as long as this person can be eliminated, our army will have a sixty percent chance of winning this battle!" ”
"Are you sure?" Xie An looked at Liu Qing in astonishment, after all, that thunder was not a figure that could be eliminated simply.
Fingers gently touched her lips, Liu Qing's eyes flashed a few inexplicable looks, and the corners of her mouth also raised a slight smile, she muttered, "The previous battle made me realize that the thunder was not invulnerable, and he seemed to have a fatal weakness...... Give it a try! See if it's as ...... as I guessed"
"Weakness?" Glancing at Liu Qing, Xie An was thoughtful.
P: I've finally finished writing a certain episode of sin.
There are even classmates who question why I wrote such a disgusting passage, isn't this to highlight and plump up the character of the fifth master and make it more flesh and blood? You think I like to write? Please, I write novels while imagining in my head!
I finally understand why it is said that people who write supernatural novels are scared of themselves and go insane...
In short, what I like to write is relaxed, and there is the setting of delving into martial arts like the previous book, dark to heavy taste...... Let's try it!
Therefore, the other part of the students who said that these chapters were very exciting to watch, hehe, I can only say sorry here, because this kind of bridge is only described when a character like the fifth master appears.
Above! It doesn't count the words here, it has already been counted.
