Chapter 335: Caught off guard
Wang Mang originally thought that the Jixia Academy Palace was just to preach in Daqin, so he would repeatedly attack Daqin in order to put pressure on Daqin and increase the bargaining chips in negotiations.
But now it seems that the Jixia School Palace has a bigger plan, originally for the Jixia School Palace, Wang Mang planned to wait until after the war to decide, but now for Wang Mang, the Jixia School Palace is already a problem that he must face.
Xu Wenqiang is a hero in the world, he is not a fool, he knows very well that the reason why he was abandoned by Cihang Jingzhai this time is entirely because of the war between Daqin and the Kingdom of Yu, in this case, it is impossible to point out that Xu Wenqiang is not in the rear to make trouble for Daqin.
A Xu Wenqiang is not terrible, but a Xu Wenqiang who is connected to the Jixia School Palace is quite terrifying.
Wang Mang pondered for a long time, then looked at Qin Mengyao and said, "How many people do you have here?"
"What?" Qin Mengyao looked stunned.
"I ask you, how many masters above the realm of the five viscera can you take out in your hands now, as well as the number of innate masters, I also want to know. Wang Mang looked at Qin Mengyao and said seriously: "I want to listen to the truth." β
"This ......" Qin Mengyao was silent, this kind of secret Qin Mengyao felt that she shouldn't tell Wang Mang.
Wang Mang knew what Qin Mengyao was worried about, and said directly: "Fairy Qin, now I and you Cihang Jingzhai are grasshoppers on the same rope, since the Jixia School Palace has already attacked you Cihang Jingzhai in Xu Guo, do you think they won't come here to continue to attack?"
"This ......" Qin Mengyao's face changed.
"Or, did the Jixia School Palace already know about your Cihang Jingzhai's scheme, otherwise how could they fight so hard, in my opinion, unless there is a great feud between life and death, no matter what, the Jixia School Palace should not be so spicy to you Cihang Jingzhai. Wang Mang said coldly: "Cihang Jingzhai is helping me in this matter, the picture is Yelang Country, but if you want to find Yelang Country, or attack the territory of Yelang Country, then the Kingdom of Yu must be eliminated, the relationship between the Kingdom of Yu and Xu Guo is extraordinary, because of this, I will ask Cihang Jingzhai to help me clear the hidden danger of Xu Guo first, but now that Xu Guo has not been removed, and the Jixia School Palace has emerged, Fairy Qin, I think you are so smart, you should know what to do?"
"This ...... I do not know. Qin Mengyao's face was a little pale, and when Wang Mang said the matter so clearly, Qin Mengyao's originally somewhat chaotic mind suddenly became clear, and she also realized the seriousness of the matter.
Wang Mang saw that Qin Mengyao's expression was gradually clear, so he said: " Qin Fairy, battlefield battle, although I don't know much, but I also know a little, only the enemy has the first opportunity, in order to have a greater certainty of victory, originally I was planning to attack the army three days later, that is, the morning after tomorrow, but yesterday I decided to attack the army tomorrow, what I did was to wait for the news of Cihang Jingzhai and Xu Guo, now the news of Xu Guo has arrived, but it is indeed the most unlikely, and it is also the most unfavorable news for us, at this time, I think that it is the best policy to take advantage of the fact that the enemy has not yet figured out the situation and attack directly, Qin Fairy thinksοΌβ
"I think Your Majesty has a point. Qin Mengyao was a little dizzy.
Wang Mang smiled and said: "Therefore, I decided to send a message immediately, and the vanguard battalion will attack the army first, and my army will arrive at the battlefield this evening and complete its work in one battle. β
"This ......" Qin Mengyao looked at Wang Mang with some embarrassment, although she was a saint, it seemed that she was the greatest authority for Cihang Jingzhai here, but it was difficult for her to make such a decision.
Promise him!
At this moment, Qin Mengyao's ears suddenly sounded Zhu Lao's voice, Qin Mengyao looked stunned, looked around, and then looked at Wang Mang and said: "Okay, I promise you, after an hour, all the masters of Cihang Jingzhai here will follow me to follow His Majesty's army on the expedition." β
"Good. Wang Mang pretended not to see that Qin Mengyao had just obviously received the message, and stroked his palms and smiled: "Then I will raise my account and prepare to go on the expedition." β
"I'll go back and prepare. After Qin Mengyao finished speaking, she turned around and left.
Wang Mang was not polite, and shouted directly: "Li Lan, beat the Chinese army!"
Li Lan, who was originally waiting outside the tent, changed his expression, and then he didn't care about asking Wang Mang the reason, so he waved away the little eunuch beside him, picked up a hammer and beat it on the war drum in front of the hall.
This war drum is made of thousand-year-old rhinoceros skin, which can withstand the hammering of the innate master, and the sound will also increase with the strength of the drummer.
Wang Jian was looking at the topographic map, and when he heard the sound of drums, his face changed, and he shouted: "The generals obey the order, quickly gather the headquarters, and when the general sees His Majesty, everything will be obeyed." β
After speaking, Wang Jian ran directly in the direction of Wang Mang, and along the way, the eldest grandson Wuji, Haifeng, Wang Yongji and others also ran towards Wang Mang with a big sweat.
Everyone was confused, and they didn't know why Wang Mang was beating the drum at this time, and when they arrived in front of the hall, Li Lan was still beating the drum, and the eldest grandson Wuji said directly: "Manager Li, what happened?"
"I don't know, His Majesty ordered me to beat the drum. Li Lan gasped and said, this drum is beyond the ability of ordinary people, after beating for such a period of time, Li Lan has already felt quite tired, originally with Li Lan's strength, he should not have withered so quickly, but although Li Lan is a eunuch, his strength is smaller than that of ordinary men.
Seeing that Li Lan couldn't ask anything, the eldest grandson Wuji and the others entered the hall in a daze, and before they could salute, Wang Mang said directly: "Everyone, when you are about to fight, don't get those red tape etiquette." β
"Your Majesty, why are you beating the drum?" Wang Jian said.
"After I have been preparing for an hour, the army will open the front line, and today we will engage the army of Yu, or a decisive battle!" Wang Mang stood up and looked at the people.
Wang Jian and the others were shocked, and Wang Yongji said: "Your Majesty, the army can't be so child's play!"
"It's not child's play. Wang Mang knew that Wang Yongji's words also represented everyone's thoughts, not that they were disrespectful, but suddenly his mind couldn't turn for a while, so Wang Mang said: "The news just came that Xu Guo has undergone a big change, I am afraid that Xu Guo will be involved in this matter, I am afraid of change, so I thought that the soldiers would be fast, and I was caught off guard by the army, and Xu Guo did not have the opportunity to intervene." β
"The ministers may know what happened to Xu Guo?" Wang Jian and the others glanced at Wang Mang.
Wang Mang looked at everyone and said, "Yesterday, the people of Cihang Jingzhai went to Xu Guo to find Xu Wenqiang and gave Xu Wenqiang two ways, one is to completely submit to my Great Qin, and the other is to exterminate the clan. β
"Ah!" Some people in the hall who didn't know about this exclaimed at that time, while Eldest Sun Wuji and the others vaguely knew that they continued to look at Wang Mang intently.
Wang Mang glanced at everyone and continued: "I don't know exactly what happened, but the result of this incident is that all the forty innate masters sent by Cihang Jingzhai to Xu Guo were killed!"
Yes!
At this moment, everyone in the hall directly fried the pot, forty innate masters, and forty innate masters who may not have been taken out by the entire Great Qin, just let people chop melons and cut vegetables to kill, this incident hit everyone too much, and even changed the three views a little.
"How is this possible, although there are many masters of Xu Guo, how can they have such strength, if they really have such strength, how can they stay in Xu Di honestly!"
"Yes, that's forty innate masters, how many innate masters are there in our entire Great Qin, or how many people are there in the whole world, this is almost the strength to sweep a country, why is it so gone!" Li Hong was a little broken, and said loudly: "With such strength in Xu Guo, how can we fight?"
"This matter is strange, Xu Guo definitely does not have such strength. Wang Jian said: "The minister has been dealing with the rebels for several years, and the rebel Wang Xi and Xu Wenqiang have always been a little involved, if Xu Wenqiang really has such a strong strength, how can the minister have the strength to suppress the rebels for a few years, I'm afraid it will have to be reversed." β
"No matter what the reason, what is strange, the problem now is that Xu Guo has undergone great changes, and now is the critical moment when our army and the Yu army are fighting, and at this time, there must be no mistakes. Wang Yongji said: "The minister agrees with His Majesty's opinion, and the soldiers are very fast, and immediately send troops to attack the Yu army, and then form a formation to defend the Xu country." β
"Your Majesty, do you know what is strange about Xu Guo?" Wang Jian looked at Wang Mang and said.
Wang Mang exhaled and said, "I don't know much about the specifics, but I heard that there is a genius Qi Yunshan who is known as a rare genius in five hundred years and appeared next to Xu Wenqiang. β
"What, Qi Yunshan?" the eldest grandson Wuji exclaimed: "Qi Yunshan is a genius who has been seen in the Jixia School Palace once in five hundred years, and he is a famous university scholar in the world, it is rumored that his strength is not weaker than some of the older powerhouses, but he is the most popular candidate for the next palace master of the Jixia School Palace, this person's life is legendary, how could he appear here." β
"If this is the case, I am afraid that there will be a lot of trouble if you don't deal with it properly. Zhang Han said: "I once heard an old friend talk about this person, saying that this person knows astronomy and geography, but he is a great talent who has passed through the heavens and latitudes, which is quite terrifying. β
"I've heard people mention that this guy is very powerful. Haifeng said a rare word.
Wang Mang glanced at everyone and said: "I already know how powerful this person is, of course, I am not afraid of him, you don't have to be afraid of him, he has someone to clean up, what we have to do is to dare to beat the whole chessboard to pieces before he falls into chess, so that even if he is a genius, he can only be a clever woman who can cook without rice." β
"What Your Majesty said is very true, and the minister agrees to send troops at this time. Wang Jian said: "The minister will order the vanguard battalion to launch a tentative attack directly on the Yu army. β
"Well, that's exactly the reason!" Wang Mang looked at the crowd: "Everyone, I won't say much about the words on the scene, I hope you will return with victory!"
"I wish Your Majesty a complete victory!" everyone said in unison.
A fast horse rushed through the gate of the camp tent, and the knight on the fast horse held a bright yellow scroll aloft and galloped all the way to the Chinese army's tent.
"Your Majesty's will, Li Guang and Wang Jitang listen to the will!"
When the knight arrived at the door of the tent, he stopped suddenly, and the horse let out a long neigh, and the knight shouted at the tent with the neighing.
Li Guang and Wang Jitang had already gotten the news, and at this moment, they took the generals straight out of the big tent, bowed to the knights, and Li Guang said: "Li Guang led the generals to listen to His Majesty's holy decree!"
"Pass on Your Majesty's will, and the forward battalion can reorganize its troops and attack directly to the Yu army!"
After the knight finished speaking, he handed the holy decree to Li Guang, Li Guangzhen looked at the printing and signature, and then looked at the holy decree, and couldn't help but glance at Wang Jitang, and found that the other party's face had changed slightly, Li Guang looked at the knight and said: "Please reply to Your Majesty, General Li Guang will lead the forward troops to win!"
"General Lee's words, the junior general will bring it. The knight nodded, turned on his horse, turned and galloped away.
Li Guang turned around directly and shouted: "What are you doing in a daze, you haven't reorganized the army yet, and you're ready to fight!"
"Yes!" the generals took the order and left.
Wang Jitang looked at Li Guang and said, "General Li, what is going on, why did you suddenly let us attack the Yu army, isn't yesterday's order to attack early tomorrow morning?"
"Your Majesty's affairs are not something we should care about, what Your Majesty asks us to do, we will do it!" Li Guang said, and said: "General Wang, didn't you catch a few spies from the Yu army, and now that something happened suddenly, there is no preparation, so kill these spies and sacrifice the flag!"
Wang Jitang nodded and said, "That's the only way, originally I planned to send someone to catch some local spies back today, get together a group of people, and kill the sacrificial flag together." β
After the two agreed for half an hour, the whole army gathered and sent troops, and then they went back to the camp to prepare, and when Wang Jitang returned, Lu Xiao said: "Lord, what's going on?"
"I don't know, and don't call me lord in the future, if you commit taboos, just call me general. Wang Jitang smiled bitterly and said: "In the end, we are generals, and we have to make some achievements in order to enter the inner circle of His Majesty today." β
"Well, General. Lu Xiao was silent for a moment, nodded, and said: "I always feel that this matter is a little strange, the order of the imperial court has inevitably become too fast, it seems that something should happen that we don't know." β
"That's for sure. Wang Jitang nodded, thought about it, and said: "After a while, I tied up the guy in the tent over there, cut off his tongue, and sent it to Li Guang to sacrifice the flag as a spy of the army." β
"Huh?" Lu Xiao said with a surprised face: "General, this is not appropriate, that person is a person from the White Horse Academy, the White Horse Academy is extremely powerful in Great Qin, and it is not easy to offend, is the general thinking about it." β
"Of course I know how powerful the White Horse Academy is, but this person is strange, and I always feel that keeping him is a scourge. Wang Jitang said: "You know, I have always felt very accurate, I believe I have to feel, besides, since he appeared, we have never let him see outsiders, and others don't know that he is here with us, when the time comes, if someone really comes to us to find him, it will be said that he died in the chaos." β
Lu Xiao still wanted to say something, but thinking of Wang Jitang's magical seventh sense, he nodded and said, "Don't worry, general, I'll arrange this matter." β
Half an hour later, Wang Jitang and Li Guang merged together, Wang Jitang waved his hand, and there were more than a dozen people who looked to be beaten and dying, and people wearing military uniforms were pressed up, Li Guang looked at Wang Jitang with some surprise, and said: "General, the means are good!"
Saying that, Li Guang also waved his hand, and it was also ten people who were pressed up, these people were even more dying than the people pressed by Wang Jitang, one by one, their eyes were scattered, and several of their hands and feet were cut off, Li Guang said: "These spies are also well-known men, and my people have tried their best, but they haven't been able to get much from them." β
"General Li and the last general thought of a place. Wang Jitang smiled.
The two people ordered the standard-bearer to resist the flag, and then waved his hand, nearly thirty heads rolled to the ground, the executioner who was responsible for cutting off the head was quite professional, each sprayed three feet, all splashed on the military flag, at that time a military flag was dyed blood red, the main standard-bearer gritted his teeth, and the flag stood directly in the middle of the army.
Li Guang glanced at Wang Jitang, rose into the air, stood with the waving military flag, looked at the soldiers below and shouted: "Soldiers, this time our army will attack the whole situation, and there will be no victory!"
No win, no return!
No win, no return!
No win, no return!
The 200,000 vanguard army shouted loudly at the same time, the sound spread all over the radius of ten miles, all the birds rose to the sky in this sound, and the murderous aura filled the sky, with Li Guang's hand waved forward, the 50,000 death squad at the forefront rushed directly in the direction of the Yu army.
At the moment when Li Guangjun's sacrificial flag attacked, far away in the big tent of the Chinese army of the Yu army that was holding Li Guang thirty miles away, Guo Changfu stood up suddenly, looked in the direction of Li Guang's garrison from a distance, and said loudly: "Come on, what happened, why does this king feel that there is a strong murderous aura rising in the north." β
As soon as Guo Changfu's voice fell, a number of courtiers rushed over, and one of the courtiers who ran at the front said in a loud voice: "King, the Qin army doesn't know what is crazy, the 200,000 Qin army vanguard stationed at the forefront directly attacked our army, our army's forward is unprepared, and now the losses are not small, the forward army is a little unable to resist, and has begun to retreat backwards." β
"Damn, what the hell happened, how did you do your intelligence, why can't you even find out the news of when the Qin army will attack, everyone has hit the door, you idiots just came to inform, what do you want you to do!" Guo Changfu was furious, and he had nowhere to vent his anger, so he directly pulled out his saber and slashed at a little eunuch who was waiting beside him, and the little eunuch didn't snort, and was directly killed.
Seeing this, everyone didn't dare to speak, Guo Changfu looked at everyone like stupid birds, and couldn't help but be even more angry, and kicked the courtier who was the first to report the battle situation to the side, and said: "What are you doing here, don't you hurry up and prepare for war, do you want those damn scumbags to beat the widow's tent?"
Only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief, and then they performed their duties, some coaxed Guo Changfu to be happy, and some notified the generals everywhere to prepare for war, and for a while, the entire army camp was in chaos.
