Chapter 192: The Secret Decree
The big camp in northern Xinjiang, with the banner waving, and 200,000 elite troops of the Han Dynasty stationed here, is enough to make any force look sideways.
Dozens of miles away was the camp of the Huns, and according to the spies, there were sporadic troops joining in every day. If calculated in terms of numbers, there are at least more than 150,000 elite troops.
Regarding this news, Fang Lingchen was skeptical, there were only a few people in the Xiongnu clan, and he was afraid that the soldiers of the whole country were less than 300,000, so how could he transfer half of them here.
When the emblem of the Golden Wolf Army appeared in the Hun camp, he was indeed nervous for a while. However, what happened next was much more than he expected.
According to the practice of more than 100 years, the arrival of the Golden Wolf Army often represents the beginning of the war, and this 50,000-strong army, which is only controlled by Shan Yu himself, has always made its enemies fearful and hated.
Before the appearance of the Black Flag Army, the Golden Wolf Army was synonymous with invincibility.
Fang Lingchen mustered up his spirit of 120,000 points, ready to deal with sudden attacks at any time. But a month has passed, but there is no movement on the other side, and this result makes him fall into the sea of smoke, and he doesn't know why.
What puzzled him was that the Huns were not as good as the Han, although they were brave, but their productivity was far inferior to that of the Han. In addition to the Golden Wolf Army, the soldiers of the other units are also the main labor force in the tribe.
If they hoard more than 100,000 troops here for no reason and do nothing, then unless the Huns are crazy, they don't want to live this winter.
Until ten days ago, all the mysteries were completely revealed, and it turned out that the real Xiongnu elite made a detour to the northwest, taking advantage of the emptiness inside the Blue Wolf Legion, to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, and raided the Beijing division along the road.
After receiving this news, all the senior generals were shocked. They discussed countermeasures overnight, but the Hun camp in front of them suddenly moved, and they advanced ten miles and put on a fierce attack formation.
When Fang Lingchen came out of the camp, he couldn't help frowning, the Huns really had an army of more than 150,000. He let out a long sigh and gave up on his plans to come back.
The purpose of the Huns is very obvious, they just want to firmly drag the 200,000 troops in the northern Xinjiang, so that they can not withdraw and return to the Beijing Division.
Although Fang Lingchen and the others were worried about it, they were helpless for a while.
The Han army fought against the Huns, has always been to win with the tactics of the sea of people, if the number of both sides is equal, then ten ** is the Huns to win, is to even if the bold generals, do not dare to withdraw at this time to help.
A group of more than 100 light horsemen, stepping on the moonlight, rushed to the camp in northern Xinjiang overnight.
Among the handsome tents, Fang Lingchen, Gu Daofu, Liu Zhengmin, the deputy commander of the Yellow Dragon Legion, and Wang Honghan, the deputy commander of the Blue Wolf Legion, respectfully welcomed the people to their seats.
This person has a handsome face, a slender body, and a graceful and noble figure between his every move, which is none other than His Royal Highness Liu Zhengting, King Hui.
He was followed by an old man sixty miles away, who was born with a pair of eagle-nosed harrier eyes, and his appearance was so strange that it was eye-catching. However, when several generals and marshals present saw this person, they all showed surprise.
"Your Highness." Led by Fang Lingchen, everyone saluted.
At the moment of the great enemy, everything is simple, they are in armor, and what they do is just ordinary etiquette. Liu Zhengting's brows furrowed slightly, the look of dissatisfaction on his face swept by, he strode to the first place, sat down with his ass, and did not say a word.
Several generals looked at each other. They all know that since the Fifth Highness was canonized as the crown prince by Emperor Han Xian last year, this highness has begun to indulge himself, lingering in the land of fireworks and restaurants, and his surname has become more and more eccentric.
However, no matter what his performance is, after all, he is the son of a dragon and a grandson, and the generals will not dare to slack off. And at this moment, when the situation is delicate, his sudden appearance here really makes everyone speculate.
Fang Lingchen and Gu Dao glanced at each other, the status of the two of them here was the most respected. It's just that Gu Dao is here as a guest.
"Ahem......" The old man beside Liu Zhengting coughed softly, and everyone's attention was attracted to him at that moment.
"Brother Cheng, I can't imagine that even you have left Jiangnan, we haven't seen each other for decades." Fang Lingchen nodded to him kindly, and his words were quite embarrassing.
"Yes, the old man hasn't come to the north for twenty years, it's rare that you remember it so clearly."
This person is Cheng Jiasheng, the contemporary suzerain of the Cheng family.
Fang Lingchen snorted, his eyes glancing at Liu Zhengting, who was silent with a black face.
Cheng Jiasheng shook his head slightly, and said: "Your Highness is tired from the journey, and his body is tired, and besides, the current Jingshi is trapped, so he will naturally not be happy in his heart." ”
Fang Lingchen looked into his eyes and asked with a smile: "Jingshi has been trapped for many years, why did Brother Cheng escort His Highness here?" ”
Cheng Jiasheng's eyes suddenly burst out with a bright and demonic streamer fire, and the eyes of the two were entangled in mid-air, and the air around them suddenly became solemn.
"Alright." Liu Zhengting stood up suddenly, and he didn't know if he couldn't stand this weird atmosphere, he shouted a little bit: "Lone is here to ask for reinforcements, not to listen to you talk nonsense, Commander Fang, what is the situation of the northern camp now, you come and listen." ”
After pondering for a moment, Fang Lingchen lifted his spirits slightly, thought for a while, and said as concisely as possible: "The Huns have 150,000 soldiers thirty miles ahead, which is far away from the northern camp. ”
Liu Zhengting raised his eyebrows and asked, "In that case, why don't you kill them all?" ”
Fang Lingchen was stunned, and was immediately angry.
The corners of Liu Zhengmin's and Wang Honghan's mouths twitched slightly at the same time, they turned their heads away, and sighed secretly in their hearts.
"Haha......" Cheng Jiasheng laughed, the flickering candlelight reflected his shining eyes, faintly with some unfathomable depth.
Gu Dao stepped forward and bowed slightly. said: "Your Highness, the Huns are brave and good at fighting, they are not ordinary rabble, and they cannot be taken lightly. ”
Imperial Marshal, his official position is so high, he is actually the head of everyone, but he was born poor and has a shallow foundation, if it were not for the full support of the Cheng family, he would not have won this honor. In the eyes of these generals who were born in the high-ranking lords, even Fang Lingchen's words were three points more effective than him.
Fang Lingchen's puzzled gaze swept over his body, Gu Dao was clearly a member of the Cheng family, why would he speak out to excuse him at this moment.
"Hmph......" Liu Zhengting snorted angrily, and a roar came out from the depths of his throat: "So you are afraid of the enemy and cowardly, and do nothing." ”
Fang Lingchen and the others all showed anger on their faces, but because of his identity, it was not easy to reprimand angrily, so they could only turn their heads and ignore it.
"Smack...... Smack......" A strange voice came from Cheng Jiasheng's hand.
Everyone's eyes turned to his hand, and his face changed color at the same time.
His fingers were slender, as if magical, and he conjured a tube of rolling paper wrapped in Huangling.
"Fang Lingchen received the order......"
Fang Lingchen and the others knelt down together and prostrated on the ground.
"Commander Fang, this is a secret decree, there is no need to bow down, please get up and accept the decree." Cheng Jiasheng said lightly.
Fang Lingchen raised his eyebrows, forcibly suppressed the anger in his chest, barely squeezed out a smile, and took the holy decree from his hand.
"Commander Fang, what is the emperor's will?"
The person who asked the question was Liu Zhengmin, the deputy commander of the Yellow Dragon Legion, who was loyal to Emperor Han Xian and took the lead in inquiring.
Fang Lingchen glanced at him and said, "Your Majesty has a decree to order Marshal Gu to lead the 100,000 men and horses of the Yellow Dragon Legion and the Blue Wolf Legion to return to Beijing immediately to help." ”
"Ah......" Liu Zhengmin exclaimed, and he didn't know if he was overexcited, he shouted: "It should have been like this a long time ago, the capital is heavy, and how can the Huns be presumptuous, let's go back, attack inside and outside, and kill them without leaving a piece of armor." ”
The Beijing division was surrounded, and the most anxious thing was that these 50,000 troops from the Yellow Dragon Legion, their families, wives and children were all left in the Beijing division, if anything happened, they would definitely regret it at that time.
Wang Honghan's eyes drifted over everyone's faces one by one, and then he closed his mouth tightly and didn't say a word.
"In fact, in terms of combat effectiveness, the Huns are definitely not under our army." Gu Dao said lightly, seeing that everyone's eyes were looking at him, he changed his words and said: "It's just that Ben Shuai has been observing for a long time, and there is one thing that is still unknown, and even a moment ago, he thought of a clue. ”
"Marshal, please." Liu Zhengmin listened to what he said cautiously, and urged repeatedly.
Gu Dao grabbed his long beard and rubbed it slightly, this is a habit he has developed over the years, whenever there is a major decision, he can't help but repeat the same action: "Ben Shuai is just wondering, why the Huns have more than 100,000 troops, but they have always refused to start a war." ”
This question is exactly the question that has plagued everyone for a long time, but his words have been asked in everyone's hearts, and even Fang Lingchen is engrossed, wanting to hear what he thinks.
"To be able to besiege the Beijing Division, at least 150,000 elite soldiers are needed, so this commander can assert that the Xiongnu elite soldiers here will definitely not exceed 80,000." Gu Dao said loudly.
Wang Honghan's heart sank, and he reflexively asked: "What about the rest of the 80,000 people?" ”
Gu Dao smiled slightly, but did not answer.
"I know, it's the old and weak......" Liu Zhengmin clapped his palms and shouted excitedly.
"Yes, it should be that they poured out of the nest, so that they have such a momentum." Gu Dao nodded his head.
Fang Lingchen's face was pale, his heart was like watching a fire, this ancient Dao beard didn't say it sooner or later, but if he had to wait until this moment and make a big statement, then there was only one intention.
Is it just that I can stop them from leaving?
