Chapter Forty-Nine: Avoiding War? Forced Battle!
In the early morning of the next day, Xie An woke up and went to Liangqiu Dance's handsome tent, and unexpectedly found that there was a row of generals in the army [deputy general level] standing in the tent, all of whom were officers with official rank of five or more in the Jizhou Army.
"What's wrong?" Facing those generals, Xie An curiously asked the only two [general-level] generals in the barracks at the moment, Chen Gang and Ma Dan.
Carefully and secretly glanced at Liang Qiu Wu, who was sitting on the main seat and couldn't see what his expression was, Chen Gang whispered, "When I woke up, I lost the ...... brand."
Lost?
Didn't they all hang them around their necks? Probably lost?
Could it be ......
Frowning slightly, Xie An thought of the most reasonable reason.
Just when Xie An was secretly guessing, Liang Qiu Wuchang, who was sitting on the main seat in the tent, let out a long breath, with extremely obvious annoyance, gritted his teeth and said, "What a [missing]...... If it is on the battlefield, it is not that brand that is lost, but the first level of the first rank! ”
The generals in that row trembled slightly, lowered their heads and said nothing.
They really didn't have much to say, and when they slept at night, they were unwittingly taken away from the wooden sign around their necks, which meant that the person could easily take their lives.
"Get out!" Liang Qiu Wu scolded in a deep voice.
After all, these deputy generals belong to the Jizhou Army, and they are not within the jurisdiction of Liang Qiu Wu's military rank, so although Liang Qiu Wu is extremely angry in his heart, he can't make any punishment for them, if he is replaced by the general of the Eastern Army, it will not be so cheap, and it will be certain that he will double his training in the future.
"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven...... Seven? One fifty, seven three hundred and fifty ......" as the lieutenants fled out of the tent. Xie An muttered quietly as he counted the heads.
If nothing else, last night, Jin Ling'er's [Liangqiu Army's Zhulinpo Military Camp Night Tour] gained a huge amount, earning three hundred and fifty victory points for the Changsun Army, if it comes back twice, this point is equivalent to defeating the Liangqiu Army once in the frontal battlefield.
Sure enough, Sister Jin also belongs to the level of [one-man army]......
Although she will not be Xiao Wu's opponent in solo combat, she can play an immeasurable role in some environments that suit her.
Xie An couldn't help but think of the idea he had once thought about, that is, to form an assassin regiment that would be specially used to snipe enemy generals on the battlefield. Although this trick seems to be a bit indiscriminate, the battlefield is always a place of life and death, so some tricks are used to keep the chance of victory and reduce the casualties of the soldiers under his command. Why not? As the saying goes, soldiers don't get tired of cheating!
But then again, Sister Jin is really ruthless......
[…… From today on, if you don't toss your sister's military camp to a restless chicken, your mother won't be called Jin Ling'er! ]
Recalling Jin Ling'er's provocation to Liang Qiu Dance before leaving yesterday, Xie An only felt dizzy and smiled bitterly.
"An, you're here......" I didn't know if I saw Xie An just now. Still using this topic to end the episode, Liang Qiuwu pinched the bridge of her nose a little tiredly, stretched out her finger, and pointed to a letter on the table in front of her. He whispered, "This is the war letter that the woman sent just now......
Xie An subconsciously glanced up at Liang Qiu Wu, and from her somewhat expectant gaze, it was not difficult to see that Liang Qiu Wu seemed to be intent on letting him make up his mind. But the problem is that Xie An was given a [warning] by the eldest grandson Xiangyu yesterday. Please don't meddle in the contest between the two of them.
Even, for this reason, the eldest grandson Xiangyu did not hesitate to calculate his husband, and set a well-prepared trap for him, which made Xie An ...... It's a bit embarrassing.
Isn't it embarrassing?
The day before, he was full of confidence and wanted to reverse the unfavorable situation for Liangqiujun, but as a result, Liangqiujun paid a heavy price and became more unfavorable.
Because of this, seeing that Liang Qiuwu was still looking at him with that kind of trusting gaze, Xie An was particularly moved.
After all, according to yesterday's conversation with the eldest grandson Xiangyu, that woman seemed to just want to compete with Liang Qiu Wu, if nothing else, Xie An's insidious, black-bellied second lady should be like a cat catching a mouse, trying her best to force out all the potential strength of Liang Qiu Wu, after all, that woman hates bland and boring things the most, even if it is a low-hanging fruit.
In other words, that woman would never end the exercise so quickly, but would force Liang Qiu Dance step by step, forcing Liang Qiu Dance to show the strength of the commander she once recognized, and if Xie An intervened, that extremely smart but sinister woman would definitely be angry.
That's a woman who will set up a well-prepared trick to deal with her husband, Xie An doesn't want to be calculated by this woman anymore, throughout the Great Zhou, no one knows better than him what is behind the smile on the face of the eldest grandson Xiangyu, and furthermore, for what the eldest grandson Xiangyu said yesterday, Xie An is also very curious, he really wants to know what kind of character Liang Qiu Wu was when he was thirteen years ago six years ago, what kind of woman is he, and why he can rank second on the [Ranking of Respected People in the Heart of Eldest Sun Xiangyu].
Thinking of this, Xie An was a little angry, after all, as far as he knew, he was ranked fourth in this ranking......
The first is undoubtedly the most respected person in the life of the eldest grandson Xiangyu, and there is no one, that is, her biological mother Wang; the second is the Liangqiu Dance; The third place is Yin Gong, after all, it is this old man who proposed the [granddaughter's stocking education plan], although the strategy is superficial to make the eldest grandson Xiangyu sneer, but in fact she is still obediently in the plan, was hit by the sugar-coated cannonball of the luxurious life of brocade clothes and jade food, the initial sharpness gradually wore out, and even Xie An, who is now her husband, was also suffered, and from time to time wanted to shout miserably to the sky, since she was a child, the daughter of a rich family can afford to marry, can't afford to raise, it's really not good to serve.
What's even worse is that now is not the worst time for Xie An, after all, the second lady of the Xie family at the moment. is still a rich woman with a bulging pocket, and there are nearly 10 million taels of private collection in her hand, and when this woman who spends money like water loses all the money in her hand, that is the beginning of the real miserable days in Xie An's life, at that time, unless Xie An uses his rich imagination that transcends the times to make a lot of money, otherwise, he can only accept bribes to support his family and become a downright corrupt official.
Not. Behind every successful man, there must be a woman who pays silently; Behind every successful and corrupt official, there must be a woman who does not know the value of wealth.
"Ann? Are you alright, Ann? Seeing that Xie An was silent for a long time, Liang Qiuwu greeted with a puzzled expression.
"Huh? Oh. It's okay...... okay" Leaving those annoying troubles in his heart behind, Xie An's slightly solemn gaze took a deep look at the book of war on the table in front of Liang Qiuwu, and after thinking about it, he said with a wry smile, "You let me make up my mind...... But I really can't think of any good way, as you know yesterday, in terms of wisdom. Even if it's a husband, it's not Xiangyu's opponent......"
Seeing Xie An's embarrassed expression, Ma Dan stepped forward and relieved his lord, "Handsome." The second master mother is a pedantic celestial, with thousands of tricks in her mind, and even adults are invincible, not to mention us? The end will be thought. It's better to wait for the time! ”
"Waiting for the right time?" Liang Qiu Wu looked at Ma Dan in confusion.
I saw Ma Dan hugging his fists and saying with a straight face. "The battle report of our army's defeat yesterday, as soon as the general and General Chen Gang returned to this camp at the end of last night, they sent people to send them to General Lin Zhen and General Yan Kai, although the two generals were once blinded by Zhang Sunjun's bluff, and did not notice that the two camps opposite were empty camps, but as soon as the battle report arrived, the two generals must wake up and immediately lead the army to capture ......."
"No," Liang Qiuwu shook his head slightly, and said with a sigh, "Although that woman is not liked by me, but in terms of layout strategy, she has never made a mistake, it can be said that she has no last resort, if nothing else, before we withdrew to this place yesterday, she has divided two troops and horses, and stationed in the upstream and downstream barracks, unless Lin Zhen and Yan Kai can detect that something is wrong before then, lead the army to cross the river, and seize the enemy's empty camp to gain a firm foothold, otherwise, it will be difficult to open up the situation......"
Hearing this, Ma Dan shook his head and said, "No, no, no, the marshal misunderstood, the last general means that the second master mother is carrying the army of General Fei Guo and stationed in the middle reaches of our army's Xinfeng River camp, according to the news sent by General Xiang Qing, the original Xinfeng River camp of our army, the flag hoisted, in addition to the Shuai Banner [eldest grandson], the most is General Fei's [Fei] banner......"
"Are you saying that Fei Guo was not sent by the eldest grandson Xiangyu to lead the troops alone?" Liang Qiu Dance gradually grasped the implicit meaning of Ma Dan's words.
"Marshal Mingjian," habitually flattered, Ma Dan said in a deep voice, "Lin Zhen and Yan Kai, the two generals, are good generals who are good at fighting on their own, looking at the many generals and colleagues of the Changsun Army, I am afraid that only Fei Guo and Tang Hao can resist, and the rest of the generals are not the last generals, but they are always inferior...... And now, Fei Guo is still near the middle reaches, which means that there must be one place upstream and downstream where our army has an advantage! -- Therefore, the last general proposed to change the tactics, our army should not compete with the main force of the Changsun Army for the time being, and wait for General Lin Zhen in the upper reaches or General Yan Kai in the lower reaches to make good news, as long as there is a line in the upper and lower reaches that is broken through by our army, the second master mother will definitely divide troops to rescue, and at that time, we will attack again......"
Okay, this horse is ......
Xie An unexpectedly glanced at the former general in front of him, and secretly thought in his heart, this Ma Dan is worthy of being a rare general in the original rebel army, and his mind is so meticulous, even if he is in an unfavorable situation, he can find a chance of winning from it, and it is really a shame that such an experienced battlefield veteran has been his guard for a period of time without complaint.
Xie An secretly praised Ma Dan, but he frowned at Chen Gang, and said unhappily, "Does General Ma mean that the general will endure without fighting and rely on the advantages of the upper and lower reaches to open up the situation?" Saying that, he shook his head, looked back at Liang Qiuwu and said, "General, our army still has 4,000 Southern Army and 2,000 Eastern Army, not to mention that Xiang Qing still has more than 2,000 Eastern Army, and after gathering, it will not be less than 8,000 elites, and it is not without the strength of a battle!" - The last general is going to fight! ”
Ma Dan was a little anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "General Chen, slow down!" -- General Chen should not forget that there are nearly 4,000 southern troops on the side of the second master's mother, and even the officers and men of the Eastern Army under her command are far above our army at the moment, not to mention General Luo Chao's nearly 3,000 light cavalry of the Eastern Army, there are also six or seven thousand cavalry, plus Jizhou soldiers...... On the strength of troops. The gap between the two sides is too big, and it is not advisable to act rashly! -- The last general has long heard of General Chen's bravery, but this exercise has made a rule, even if it is a general, if he is not careful, he will be [killed] by ordinary soldiers, it seems that in the current situation, our army must not lose the general! ”
Regarding Ma Dan's remarks, Chen Gang was unimpressed at first, but after hearing the restriction of the rules. He was silent, after all, he also knew that a fierce general like him who was charging into battle, once he set foot on the battlefield under this rule, there was a chance that he would not be able to return......
Come to think of it. Chen Gang glared at Xie An viciously, secretly annoyed that this uncle was idle, and he was determined to break the rules.
"For now, we can only avoid its edge for the time being and wait for the opportunity!" Ma Dan quietly stepped forward, and used his body to block the sight of Chen Gang for Xie An, who was embarrassed.
Liang Qiuwu bit her lip when she heard this, and nodded.
"Hang the war card...... No fight! ”
Listening to her somewhat aggrieved voice, Xie An secretly smiled bitterly. And over there, Chen Gang also clenched his fists.
As the guardian of the Eastern Army, dignified [Yan Hu Ji], how could Liangqiu Dance ever have a time of cowardice?!
Half an hour later. The news that the Zhulin Poliangqiu Dance military camp could not avoid the battle finally reached the ears of the eldest grandson Xiangyu.
As Ma Dan said, the eldest grandson Xiangyu only sent Tang Hao and Qi Hao to confront Yan Kai downstream, but never sent Fei Guo. Those who were sent upstream to resist Lin Zhen were the two generals Su Xin and Li Jing.
"Huh? Avoiding the war? "Lying on his side on the couch in the manager's tent. The eldest grandson Xiangyu shook the folding fan in his hand with a lazy attitude, and said with a chuckle, "This is not like the style of Sister Xiaowu......"
"Could it be a husband?" Jin Ling'er, who was playing with the dagger in her hand on the side, asked in surprise when she heard this.
"That's not it," the eldest grandson Xiangyu smiled slightly, and said, "The husband is quite sincere to my sisters and others, since the slave family has asked him yesterday, he will definitely not break his promise...... Well, it should be that Ma Dan, he also had a share in the attack on our military camp last night, according to Tang Hao, this person's ability to command the army is not under him, maybe he can see it......"
"See?" Jin Ling'er looked at the eldest grandson Xiangyu in confusion.
Seeing that the eldest Sun Xiangyu didn't seem to have the intention of explaining in detail, among the generals in the tent, Fei Guo hugged his fists and explained, "The third lady Mingjian, the second lady wants to say, that Ma Dan saw the loopholes in the second lady's assignment of generals and soldiers, Lin Zhen and Yan Kai on the opposite side are both talented generals, although there are some boasting suspicions, but at present, among our army, only the last general and General Tang Hao can be equal to it, but the second lady only sent General Tang Hao to resist Yan Kai, but left the last general in this camp, therefore, Ma Dan believes that the upstream of our army will definitely lose!" ”
"That's the case...... Jin Ling'er suddenly realized when she heard this, and then frowned and asked the eldest grandson Xiangyu, "Since Su Xin and Li Jing can't beat that Lin Zhen, why don't you send General Fei Guo?" ”
"Guess?" The eldest grandson Xiangyu blinked, then giggled, with a little joke, a little serious, and chuckled, "It's not just that anyone can be the opponent of the slave family, that's too boring......" As she spoke, she turned her head to look at Fei Guo and said, "Fei Guo, before that sister of the slave family [seriously] gets up, you can play with her!" - The affairs of the camp have also been handed over to you, you are the most important [handsome] general of my wife, although the stage is very small at the moment, but the slave family still hopes that you can show your ability, so that the slave family will not feel that the trust is not ......."
Is the second lady testing herself?
Fei Guo was slightly stunned when he heard this, but he could hear it clearly, a [handsome] general......
What does this mean?
This means that he is very likely to climb to the position of the commander of the first army in the future, or even ...... with the support of his own adults and his wife Be a great general!
Thinking of this, Fei Guo suppressed the joy in his heart, and hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "Yes!" - The last general obeys! ”
Glancing at Fei Guo with a happy smile on his face for some reason, Jin Ling'er frowned and said, "Isn't that tigress not fighting?" ”
"Giggles," the eldest grandson Xiangyu smiled slightly, and said with a cute smile, "I'm not afraid that she won't fight...... It's going to be hard Sister Ling'er, turn the camp of the Liangqiu Army upside down, the slave family wants to see how long she can endure it! - Except for Lord Fujun and Chen Gang and Ma Dan, take the wooden cards around the necks of all the general-level people in that camp, if she still doesn't fight, Gou Gong, you should have laxatives, right? Consider placing a few doses in the well of his camp......"
The generals in the tent subconsciously shrank their heads when they heard this, only to feel that the eldest grandson Xiangyu, who said those words with a smile, was really terrible and insidious...... Hmm, insidious!
"Mo Fei, Gou Gong, Ding Qiu, the three of you are also good at hiding your whereabouts, go with Sister Ling'er of the slave family, the slave family is very keen to see you and others active in the Liangqiu military camp, but don't live up to the expectations of the slave family......"
"Yes!" Compared with the other two, who immediately clenched their fists and received their lives, Gou Gong cautiously peeked at the eldest grandson Xiangyu.
Sure enough, the second master mother is far more terrifying than the big master mother to some extent......
Gou Gong gradually understood why his third brother, Mo Fei, who was known as the Dongling Murderer, would be so loyal to his second wife, Lord Xie's eldest grandson, Xiangyu, and obey his words.
"Sounds interesting...... Jin Ling'er raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and said with a chuckle, "It's wrapped up in my sister!" ”
As she spoke, she secretly glanced at the eldest grandson Xiangyu, and was very happy with the eldest grandson Xiangyu's sentence Sister Ling'er.
is also the daughter of a famous family in Jijing, look at how well-behaved the granddaughter of the family is, how sweet the little mouth is, and what about the tigress? Hum!
As soon as she thought of this, Jin Ling'er gritted her teeth and sulked.
Obviously, this [Ghost Ji] of Jinling has completely become a member of the eldest grandson Xiangyu's line, just because of the eldest grandson Xiangyu's sentence [Sister Ling'er]......
I really don't know whether to say that the Jinling'er City Mansion is too shallow and too easy to be bought, or that the eldest grandson Xiangyu's ability to figure out people's hearts is too outstanding, the only thing that is certain is that in the next few days, the Zhulinpo military camp of Liangqiu Dance will definitely not be so calm.
Because it was targeted by four first-class, even top-notch, assassins of the Great Zhou......
