Chapter 171: Messing with the morale of the army
On the third day of the Battle of the Grand Canyon, the news reached Bailiyuan's side, Bailiyuan was furious, and denounced Yuan Wan as a waste, and the 200,000 army occupied the advantage of the terrain, but the most important thing about the annihilation of the army was that it did not cause too much loss to the 300,000 army, but only caused a loss of nearly 10,000 people there
"The good things were ruined by a rat droppings. ”
Baili Yuan sighed slightly, his eyes turned to the map, and his brows were furrowed. There are not many 300,000 cavalry, but these 300,000 cavalry have burrowed into the stomach of Eastern Qi, and now the Eastern Qi army is almost here, if 300,000 cavalry slaughter all the way to the past, it will cause huge losses to Eastern Qi.
Even if some civilian casualties are counted, the main impact is on the morale of the military, which is huge.
If the news spreads that there is an army of 300,000 people wreaking havoc in the territory of Eastern Qi and slaughtering all the way, the army under his command will definitely be like an arrow, and those sergeants will worry about their relatives and people, and their morale will drop sharply. It's unstable behind you, if you keep moving forward
"Old Gold"
Baili Yuan only pondered for half an hour, then he got up and said, "Go and ask the people of the dark soul to help me pass a handwritten letter, asking Your Majesty to mobilize 300,000 imperial forest troops to encircle and intercept that Southern Chu cavalry." Help me tell Your Majesty that this matter is my fault, and I will go to your Majesty to ask for guilt when the war is over. ”
Lao Jin frowned and asked, "Qi Jing is the capital of the country, as soon as you send this book, countless ministers will definitely impeach you." They will even say that you have bad intentions, treason or something. At that time, Your Majesty's trust in you may be reduced, so you should be cautious in this recital. ”
"I don't care what others say"
Bai Liyuan shook his head and said: "I only do what I have to do, an excellent soldier should not think too much about politics, otherwise a second-rate politician, how can he maintain the purity of a soldier and how to become a first-class famous general? ”
"Alas"
Lao Jin sighed helplessly, went to write a recital, stamped it with the seal of Baili Yuan, and asked the people of the dark soul to send it to Qijing as quickly as possible.
Almost at about the same time, Ye Xiangfo received the news here, and Zou Hui personally came to report it.
"Good"
Ye Xiangfo took a closer look at the information, and laughed heartily: "This kid really didn't disappoint me, this 200,000 army is good." In addition to Qi Jing's army in Eastern Qi, there is no army that can intercept them, as long as they wander around in Eastern Qi, the situation here will be completely stable, and this battle will be won. ”
Zou Hui stared at the map for a moment and said, "Zhang Fengming's army is four or five days away from them, and if they keep hurrying, it will be difficult for Zhang Fengming to catch up." Now I am afraid that if Qi Jing's side dispatches hundreds of thousands of cavalry to intercept it, then they will be attacked in front and back, and they will definitely be finished. ”
"Unlikely"
Ye Xiangfo shook his head and said, "The one in the Qi Kingdom is the male lord, but he is very suspicious by nature. There are only 500,000 troops in Qi Jing, and there are only 300,000 cavalry, you let him send the cavalry out Since the 200,000 were easily destroyed, what is the meaning of 300,000 The emperor has always attached the most importance to his own peace and imperial power, and as for the life and death of the people below, he will not look at it at all. ”
"Too"
Zou Hui thought for a while and said: "Even if 300,000 are dispatched, Li Yunyi can kill them, and the five thousand blood wolf cavalry is the nemesis of the cavalry, and when the enemy's cavalry formation is in chaos, the cavalry here can easily win as soon as they charge." Guogong, how do we act on our side?"
"First copy tens of thousands of copies of this information by hand"
Ye Xiangfo threw away the information in his hand and said: "Add a few words to this information, write the battle report of their attack on those cities, and say that the 300,000 cavalry slaughtered the city all the way in the territory of Eastern Qi, and there were no chickens and dogs left behind, and millions of people in Qi have been slaughtered at present." After copying tens of thousands of copies, find a few grandmasters to take flying beasts to scatter in the sky above the Qi ** camp. ”
"Mess with the morale of the army first"
Zou Hui's eyes lit up, and he gave a thumbs up and said, "Guogong's trick is clever, and his subordinates will arrange it." ”
Zou Hui did things quickly, Lima arranged for hundreds of clerical officials to copy it, this information was sent by the secret agents on the side of Dongqi, the style of writing is very true, Lima's information except for the sentence Li Yunyi slaughtered the city that Ye Xiangfo confessed, the rest of the information is true.
After copying tens of thousands of copies, Zou Hui did not rush to arrange someone to throw them, but kept waiting. When it was almost dawn, he arranged for three flying beasts, and three sergeants on each flying beast flew to the Eastern Qi military camp with tens of thousands of pieces of information.
As soon as the flying beast approached, it immediately aroused the vigilance of the grandmaster on the side of Dongqi, and he thought that Nanchu was going to sneak attack. However, when those grandmasters came out, they saw that the sky had drifted snowflakes, and the letters in the sky were sprinkled and sprinkled all over the military camp.
There are three major military camps on the side of Dongqi, and 20,000 copies of each side of the barracks are scattered, and the three flying beasts circle in a circle, not stopping at all and flying away quickly, and the Dongqi side has no time to pursue. The news quickly spread to Bailiyuan's side, and this information was also placed in front of Bailiyuan's case.
Lao Jin's face was anxious, and he said: "Great Marshal, if you don't arrange for someone to confiscate it immediately, this matter will soon spread to all the armies." ”
"Confiscation is useful"
Baili Yuan glanced at it indifferently and said: "Tens of thousands of handwritten documents, many people have already read them, the more they confiscate anyway, the more the army panics, this kind of thing can't be suppressed, and hiding it will make the situation worse." ”
Lao Jin thought for a while and sighed: "Ye Xiangfo's trick is too ruthless, before the counterattack began, it began to disintegrate our morale, what should the big boss do next?"
Baili Yuan pondered for a moment, picked up his pen and wrote a letter, and after he finished writing, he said: "Copy a few copies, post them to the barracks, and stabilize the morale of the army first." ”
Lao Jin picked it up and looked at it, and found that it was Baili Yuan who informed the army in his own capacity, explaining that there was indeed a cavalry in the territory of Eastern Qi, but he had made arrangements so that the generals did not have to worry. At the same time, he also ridiculed Ye Xiangfo's heart-punishing strategy on the notice was too low-level, and the Eastern Qi army was invincible, so how could he be frightened away by the small heart-punishing strategy
The major military camps outside were originally in a commotion, and countless sergeants were worried, and many sergeants gathered together to discuss the matter. As soon as Bailiyuan's notice was posted, the several major military camps outside immediately became much quieter, Bailiyuan's prestige in the army is now very high, and the sergeant generals of Dongqi trust him very much, since it was a notice issued by him personally, then what else is there to worry about
This matter made such a big fuss, not only the army of Eastern Qi spread all over the country, but also spread on the South Chu side, hundreds of documents were copied, Ye Xiangfo also let people spread it, and the news quickly spread all over the Southern Chu military camp, and then spread towards the territory of Southern Chu at a terrifying speed.
The morale of the Southern Chu army was greatly boosted, and Xiong Jun, Zhuge Jian, Lu Guanhou, Princess Yunfei and others suddenly became famous.
Southern Chu was defeated one after another, and the Eastern Qi army was like a mountain, which pressed the Southern Chu side. There was an air of pessimism throughout the Southern Chu country, and now I suddenly heard that there was a large army that not only broke through several occupied cities, but also entered the territory of Eastern Qi.
It doesn't matter if you enter the territory of Eastern Qi, you will fight against the cavalry of Eastern Qi, and under the condition that the enemy occupies the advantage of the terrain, you will annihilate 200,000 cavalry under Yuan Wan, and the army is rushing all the way at this moment, going straight to the belly of Eastern Qi.
The entire Southern Chu was waiting for Ye Xiangfo to resist the pace of the Eastern Qi army's attack, and now they didn't think about counterattacking, they only prayed to resist the attack, and they didn't let the Eastern Qi army advance again. But he didn't expect another army to enter the territory of Eastern Qi and destroy 200,000 troops of Eastern Qi, and now depending on the situation, he will attack Qijing
Is this preparing to capture the thief and capture the king first, knock down Qi Jing, and take down the emperor of Eastern Qi
In particular, the reaction of the people of Southern Chu was even more intense, they liked this kind of mythical legend, and they all fantasized that the army would reach Qijing, defeat Qijing in one fell swoop, and capture the emperor of Eastern Qi alive. At that time, not only will the Eastern Qi army retreat, but the Eastern Qi will probably be wiped out by Southern Chu.
Xiong Jun, as the commander of this army, became famous all over the world overnight. This is not only famous in Southern Chu, but also famous in the Great Zhou and Western Jin Dynasty in North Vietnam. A cavalry of Southern Chu was able to sneak into the area occupied by the Eastern Qi, attack the city all the way, and also enter the territory of the Eastern Qi, and most importantly, easily wiped out Yuan Hao's 200,000 troops. In the eyes of ordinary people, this is almost impossible to do, but Xiong Jun has done it.
The war between Southern Chu and Eastern Qi, now that Eastern Qi has an absolute advantage, Southern Chu feels that it may destroy the country at any time.
But because of the existence of this cavalry, I feel that the situation has begun to reverse, if this cavalry cannot be eliminated and cause trouble everywhere in Eastern Qi, the situation will continue to tilt towards the side of Southern Chu, which is the 300,000 cavalry will likely become the reversal point of the Great War of Eastern Qi and Southern Chu.
The court of Southern Chu was also boiling, and the bear was full of red light and excited, as if he was a few years younger. During this time, he had a lot more gray hair, and he relied on medicine every night to sleep, and he didn't dare to eat more of that kind of Bliss Pill now, he took one every two days, and he knew very well that if he continued to eat, he was afraid that he would not live long.
In fact, he thought about killing the Taoist priest who made alchemy. Just thinking of killing this Taoist priest, there would be no Bliss Pill, and he couldn't be ruthless. During this time, he was under too much pressure, and he continued to release and vent, and the Bliss Pill could make him forget everything and be fluttering.
The only thing that made Mi Xiong feel pity this time was that the 300,000 cavalry dispatched were all from the major vassal states. This made the major vassal states raise their eyebrows, and if it was the cavalry of Southern Chu, he would definitely be rewarded.
After a morning of court discussions, Mi Xiong finally decided to commend Xiong Jun and canonize Xiong Jun as the second-grade military marquis of Southern Chu, Zhuge Jian, Lu Guanhou, Princess Yunfei, Princess Ju Wang and others were rewarded. And he sent an order to Ye Xiangfo, asking him to seize the opportunity to counterattack and regain the lost territory. He doesn't want to destroy Dongqi, he just wants to be able to defeat and recover the lost territory.
After the court meeting, he returned to the harem, and immediately said to Father-in-law Yu: "Go and get a pill of bliss, and announce the four other concubines, I am very happy to have won the battle today, and I should celebrate it well." ”
Father-in-law Yu didn't dare to say anything, turned around and sighed slightly, Qi Xiong will eat the Bliss Pill to relieve his sorrows if he loses, and he will also eat the Bliss Pill to celebrate if he wins, and he will call the four noblewomen in one breath, I'm afraid it won't last long if it goes on like this
