Chapter Ninety-Nine: Defeat
"Your Highness, the latest news has come from the Jinyi Guard! Today, the vanguard general Wang Ming once again defeated the army of Yan State, and greatly boosted the morale of our Ming army! Now Yan Guo has experienced two major defeats in two consecutive days. Now the morale is low, the soldiers have no fighting spirit, and they are afraid of being beaten! ”
"Scared of being beaten?" Li Xuan's news did not bring Liu Yu a trace of excitement, but made Liu Yu feel a little uneasy. In Liu Yu's eyes, things will not be so optimistic. Looking at the marching map, after being silent for a long time, Liu Yu opened his mouth and said, "How is it that Murong Feng is also a famous general in Yan State, and he has more than 300,000 tiger and wolf troops in his hands, and he can't even deal with 100,000 horses, and he has lost to him twice?" ”
"That's because His Royal Highness defeated Yan Guo twice, forcing Yan Guo to shrink his forces, and it was the morale of Yan Guo that plummeted, so that Wang Ming had an opportunity!"
"Really" Turning to look at Li Xuan, Liu Yu smiled a little bitterly and said, "Marshal Chen Wen of the Northern Army has just been escorted back to Beijing, and the Northern Army is panicking. If you want to talk about morale, the northern army has lost even its soul, where does the morale come from, and such an army can also win? ”
Liu Yu's words made Li Xuan faintly uneasy in his heart, "Perhaps, maybe it's because the Northern Army has a will to live and die, and the so-called mourning soldiers will win, so the Jedi counterattack!" ”
looked at Li Xuan coldly, looking at him a little uncomfortable, and then Liu Yu stared at Li Xuan and asked, "Then let me ask you, how about the casualties of the Yan Kingdom in these two wars?" ”
Cold sweat slowly oozed from his forehead, and Li Xuan said a little nervously, "This, the subordinates didn't find out?" ”
"Then go check!"
"Yes"
Compared with Liu Yu's slightly heavy atmosphere here, Wujiangchao's side is a sea of joy. The camps of the Ming army were even brighter, most of the soldiers gathered together to eat and drink, and in the central military tent, there was a faint noise of pushing cups and changing lamps.
As soon as the banquet began, Wu Jiangchao, who was sitting on the main seat, immediately stood up, "General Wang led the army to defeat the Yan army and greatly boost the morale of our Ming army." Come, let's toast General Wang with a drink"
Wu Jiangchao gave face like this, and Wang Ming didn't dare to hold it. immediately stood up and bowed his body, showing a touched look, and he almost burst into tears on the spot. "This battle is all thanks to the plan of the commander, and the general will not dare to take credit. The marshal gave the last general the opportunity to lead the troops, and the last general should pay tribute to the marshal to thank him for his cultivation. ”
Looking at Wang Ming's actions, Wu Jiangchao nodded with satisfaction, "This kid is on the road, not bad!" ”
Two consecutive battles and successive victories, the prestige of the Yan army was destroyed, and the morale of the Ming army was also rising. Even though it was not the forbidden army in his hands, he is now the marshal of the northern frontier, and he also did the things that were arranged for the battle, and his name must be recorded in the credit book. Anyway, what his previous intentions were, the credit is his, and this will be the promotion level in the future.
"Ahh General Wang has said that everyone will contribute to this battle! Wu Jiangchao raised his wine glass with some excitement, looked around and said, "Rest assured, generals, I, Wu Jiangchao, will not treat you badly, and when you defeat Yan Guo, you are all meritorious ministers, I will carefully report your merits to His Royal Highness the Four Princes!" You guys are just waiting to be promoted and get rich."
"Thank you for cultivating!" At this moment, except for a few people who were still in their minds, everyone else fell into a feverish excitement. After two days of fighting, most people thought that the Yan army was vulnerable and that defeat was only a matter of time. However, how to divide the credit in the future, this is the big problem, and it is inevitable that there will be some intrigues.
The chaotic celebration banquet went to ** in Wu Jiangchao's words, and it also ended in the chaotic situation that Wu Jiangchao was drunk, and the others were happy.
The deputy general helped Wu Jiangchao back to the big tent with difficulty, and when he slowly withdrew his armor, Wu Jiangchao suddenly opened his eyes, and was so frightened that the deputy general took several steps back, almost without drawing his sword and cutting it. After asking about the flustered mind, the deputy general asked with some anxiety, "Dashuai, are you not drunk?" ”
Glancing at the deputy general, Wu Jiangchao said helplessly, "Nonsense, do you want to get drunk when you look at me?" These bastards can really drink, and they have poured Ben Shuai enough, if I don't pretend to be drunk, I guess I won't be able to get up."
"Dashuai, if you can't get up, you can't get up, who dares to say anything?"
"If you can't get up, how can you lead the troops to fight?"
The two victories of the Northern Army will inevitably make the officers and men of the Northern Army a little arrogant. Originally, Wu Jiangchao had just taken control of this army, and the original intention was to let them go to death, and he minded excluding dissidents. I didn't expect them to win, and they won twice in a row. Now this situation makes him faintly uneasy.
With the Northern Army exploring the water, the strength of the Wujiang Chaoyan Army was vulnerable, so Ming said that he was ready to personally go out and hit the Yan Army in one fell swoop. At that time, whether he is promoted to make a fortune or bragging and chatting with others, he Wu Jiangchao has strong capital.
"Bringing troops?" Wu Jiangchao's words made the deputy general a little curious, "As the commander of the first army, it would be good if the generals couldn't do the things of leading the troops, why should the marshal do it himself, and he would have fallen into his identity in vain!" ”
grabbed the book on the side and returned it, and said angrily, "Nonsense, if I don't go in person, how can I show my credit!" Moreover, there are three princes not far away. Now it seems that the Yan army is vulnerable, and the defeat of two consecutive days has greatly demoralized them. At this time, it is even more important to lead the army to break through with one blow and fight quickly,"
Wu Jiangchao said this, and the deputy general immediately echoed with a flattering face, "The Yan [***] team is not vulnerable at all, and they will inevitably fall in the wind as soon as the commander comes out." As for the third prince's side, the marshal doesn't have to care at all. I thought that the three princes defeated the Yan army so powerfully, but the Yan army was useless at all. Judging from the last general, the three princes are just lucky and lucky, and their own strength is not very strong! ”
"Hmm!" The adjutant general's words are very reasonable in Wu Jiangchao's opinion. With such an analysis, it seems that I really have nothing to worry about. When the time comes, defeat the Yan army and destroy the three princes, his reputation as Wu Jiangchao will inevitably be as Zhongtian. At that time, with the army in his hands, as long as he convinces the Zhenguo Sect of the Ming Kingdom that the Flame Sect is the throne, it will not be a difficult matter.
For a moment, Wu Jiangchao seemed to feel that his future was smooth. And all this has to start with Ming Yue leading the troops in the war. He also firmly believes that even the remnants of the Northern Army in Nanyang can win, and he is afraid that he will not be able to win if he goes out in person
At night, Liu Yu's big tent is still brightly lit. Coming from the world of flowers, Liu Yu is really not used to sleeping too early. However, this is a place, and there is no entertainment at night, and the night is idle and boring. Under the shadow of the war, Liu Yu had to read military books every day to enrich himself. Of course, in the eyes of ordinary sergeants, this has become a bit of hard work and sublime.
Suddenly, the lights trembled, and Liu Yu gently swept around, finding that the big tent had been gently lifted a corner. "Come in, I haven't slept yet!"
Hearing Liu Yu's words, Li Xuan, who was outside the tent, gently lifted the tent door, walked in slowly, bowed down and said, "Your Highness, disturbing Your Highness so late, your subordinates are uneasy." ”
"Okay, what's the matter?" 、
"Your Highness, the matter you confessed to Jinyiwei has been carefully investigated" Speaking of this, Li Xuan was a little embarrassed" Your Highness, the news from Jinyiwei that the Yan Kingdom was defeated twice, and the loss was not big. However, in the first battle yesterday, the Yan army suffered some losses. But. Today, the Yan army seems to have been defeated by the whole army, which is more than the first day, but the actual losses are very small, but the losses of the Ming army are even greater. In the Yan army, the news came from the Jinyi Wei scouts desperately, and the Yan army seemed to be deliberately defeated. ”
"Sure enough!" Liu Yu smiled slightly, looking like Zhizhu was in his hand, "Murong Feng is worthy of being a famous general of Yan State, Chen Wengang had an accident, and as soon as the surnamed Wu came to power, he had figured out how to deal with the stupid person surnamed Wu, and I don't know if the surnamed Wu found a problem?" ”
Mentioning Wu Jiangchao, Li Xuan said with some hesitation, "By the way, Your Highness, the news that Jinyiwei just came, the current marshal of Northern Xinjiang, Wu Jiangchao, will personally lead the troops and fight to the death with the Yan army!" ”
"What?" Hearing this news, Liu Yu couldn't calm down, and stood up after a while, "That bastard surnamed Wu fell for the trick so quickly, this stupid man, is he going to bury the 300,000 army in his hand?" ”
After walking a few steps back and forth, Liu Yu immediately said, "Immediately organize the army, the whole army will march at night, and we must rush to the place where the two armies are fighting before dawn!" ”
