Chapter 37: The War Begins
The letter sent by the subordinates of the national division to the Flying Tiger General on the Muxi border and the letter from the Meizu of the Dongliang Kingdom reached the hands of both sides almost at the same time. The Flying Tiger General Fang returned to the capital of Muxi, and the garrison of Dongliang State on the border, with the help of Meizu Xizuo, captured two towns in the border pass with lightning speed.
When the urgent report was transmitted back to the capital, the Dongliang garrison had already taken the city, and Empress Muxi was so worried that she almost fainted again. The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, who had been locked up because of the national teacher, did not have to be released at this time, and summoned the rest of the important ministers into the palace to discuss good policies.
"It's better to let General Feihu hurry back to Yucheng and dispatch the defenders of several nearby cities to resist the enemy army......"
"What the Prime Minister said is very true, but Weichen thinks that in addition to letting General Feihu rush back to the border pass quickly, it may be possible to let the defenders of Ulan City near Yucheng sneak attack from the flank to divide the combat effectiveness of the enemy army in Dongliang, and it can also reduce some pressure on Yucheng......"
“……”
Chai Fengyin stood quietly beside Queen Muxi, listened to their discussion for a moment and then retreated quietly. Although Chai Fengyin is not arrogant, she is not self-righteous and thinks that she is omnipotent, at least she has no experience in leading the army to fight, and she does not think that how to fight can be discussed with these civil and military ministers in the court to achieve results, and if they want to discuss, it is only to discuss who to send to lead the troops.
However, at the moment of the war, Chai Fengyin does not lead the army, but she also has something to do. The Flying Tiger General rushed back in a starry and moon-wearing manner, and now she wants to pack up and send people back quickly. By the way, you have to go to the border to watch Qingxuan, but don't let her kill everyone.
General Feihu is a middle-aged man in his forties, who looks like a dragon and a tiger, burly and strong, with a Chinese face, thick eyebrows, and a full of anger, and he looks like a general.
Chai Fengyin smiled at him, and said politely and unceremoniously: "General Flying Tiger, offended!" As he spoke, a green light flickered, and a vine flew out of his sleeve and wrapped around the Flying Tiger General's waist.
General Feihu was stunned, looking at Chai Fengyin's gaze in surprise, revealing the complexity of inquiry. Chai Fengyin didn't know what to do, and with a move of spiritual power, he dragged the Flying Tiger General into a gust of wind and headed towards Yuancheng.
Chai Fengyin's arrival can really be said to have rescued the enemy army in Dongliang, in less than two days, Qing Xuan carried out Chai Fengyin's order to the end, and tossed the 100,000 enemy troops in Dongliang to the end.
Originally, in the time lag between the arrival of the border pass and the arrival of Chai Fengyin with General Feihu to Yucheng, Yucheng had been captured by the enemy army in Dongliang. As a result, in the tents of the ten generals of the Dongliang garrison camp this morning, a bloody pig's head was found lying on the pillows of the generals.
No matter how much you are an iron-blooded man who immediately gallops on the battlefield with a horizontal knife, you can open your eyes early in the morning and see a bloody, hairy, and cold pig's nose close to your nose (cheek or mouth), and you can't help but carry a heartbeat that accelerates to the point of being like a drum, jumps from the bed, and then comes up with a high-pitched "Ah-"
As a result, good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles in seconds, and the so-called false rumors spread people and clouds, such a strange thing that is untraceable and difficult to explain will inevitably end with strange forces. I don't know who started to say that there were demons at work, and in the end, the three of them became tigers, which made the whole camp panic.
Not only the camp outside the city, but also the Dongliang garrison that entered the city was not spared. After the soldiers who got up in the morning to defend the city had breakfast, before they could climb the tower, they ran to the latrine one by one, only to turn pale and tremble.
When a row of soldiers stood guard on the castle tower, a strong wind blew, and then the wind stopped, and after a while, the clouds continued to wander slowly in the blue sky, and the wind blew again beside the soldiers who were standing guard, but it made their pores cold. Hey? Why is it that even the private parts are cold?
The people who were in a panic because they were broken into the city yesterday gathered at the bottom of the city tower and laughed inexplicably, and the soldiers standing guard turned their heads in surprise, turned their heads halfway, suddenly realized something, and bowed their heads...... I couldn't help but look at my companion...... Everyone is so slick and clean!
Suddenly, everyone was frightened and short, and they only hated why the battlements of the city tower were no longer taller, and they screamed with shame and annoyance: "Ahh......h Which thief of Lao Tzu's clothes ......"
There was a beggar in the city who grinned and said, "Hey! Is this your garment on the ground? ”
The soldiers of the city tower squatted under the wall battlements and carefully looked down at the city, and saw a pile of Dongliang garrison uniforms on the ground below, and immediately didn't care about scolding, and shouted at the beggar: "Little beggar, quickly send the clothes to the military master, and the military master will reward you with silver to buy candy to eat ......in a while."
"Whew!" The little beggar spat at them with dignity, turned and slipped into the crowd. The onlookers, uncles, aunts, brothers, and daughters-in-law watched it for a while, laughed lively, rewarded them with a few rotten leaves, rotten eggs, and then dispersed.
However, when someone quietly went down to the castle tower to pick up the clothes in spite of shame, a ball of fire flew out of nowhere, slammed on the pile of clothes, and set the clothes on fire with a touch of ground, but in a moment the slick and white man who was covering his private parts and went down to the castle tower watched as the clothes burned into a pile of ashes, and when the wind blew, even the ashes were gone. At this time, if you want to score music, probably only a bleak and miserable February moon can be slightly famous.
These are just two strange things, since Aunt Qingxuan's grandmother came, the Dongliang garrison in Yucheng has been unlucky, and the water is miserable. Some people even boldly admonished that there were unclean things in the city, so it was better to withdraw the army to avoid the city and take another city......
Before the Dongliang garrison could make such a decision, Chai Fengyin had already rushed to Yucheng with General Feihu, and after learning that Yucheng had been lost, General Feihu immediately asked Chai Fengyin to send him to Feilong Town after Yuancheng.
Chai Fengyin remembered the deliberate words of the military minister of the palace that he heard before he came out, so he asked General Feihu about this, and immediately got his approval, "However, General Ye who is stationed in Wulan City is a little upright, and without a holy decree, I am afraid that he will not obey the order of the county lord to send troops. ”
Listening to General Feihu's words, Chai Fengyin understood that he was preparing to take the responsibility on himself if something happened at that time. didn't refuse his kindness, Chai Fengyin only remembered his loyalty in his heart, and only waited until Zhu Yuanze came back in front of him to mention a few words for General Flying Tiger's Gao Feng Liangjie, and it was considered to have repaid this love.
Holding General Feihu's letter, Chai Fengyin successfully met this upright General Ye, this is an old general with gray hair, who deserves to be old and strong.
He was also as General Feihu said, "The county lord's intention is already clear, but there is no holy decree, how can I make my own decisions." In case Dongliang suddenly sends troops to my Ulan City, the city is lost, and the people are displaced, won't the old minister fail His Majesty's Longen? ”
Chai Fengyin silently lowered his head and rolled his eyes, raised his head and smiled lightly, and said sincerely: "The general is loyal to the monarch and loves the people, and General Feihu and I naturally know it, but a few days ago, 100,000 Dongliang Chen soldiers attacked our border, and they captured two cities in a row in only three days, and now they have attacked Yucheng." Now General Flying Tiger has gone to Feilong Town, preparing to unite the remnants of the old army to retake the city.
With General Feihu on his side to contain the main force of the enemy army in Dongliang, General Ye only needs to send his elite soldiers to sneak attack from the side to relieve some pressure on General Feihu, and there is no need for General Ye to personally lead the army. In this way, even if the imperial court is accountable, General Ye only sent troops to help, and did not leave the barracks without authorization, which is believed to be a felony.
Moreover, if General Ye helped General Feihu recapture the city, for General Feihu, it would be just a credit for the crime, but for General Ye, it would be a great achievement. I believe that even if the emperor knew, he would not investigate General Ye for sending troops without an order. ”
After some suggestions are reasonable, Chai Fengyin can be regarded as searching the intestines and scraping the stomach. General Ye, who was upright, was still silent for a while, and just when Chai Fengyin was about to give him a puppet pill as well, he finally nodded and agreed.
However, General Ye did accept Chai Fengyin's suggestion, and sent a middle-aged soldier under his tent to lead an army of 20,000 to attack from the side, and Chai Fengyin accompanied the army......
