Chapter 1021: Dispute

Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 inforeadx;? Jiang Leopard asked, "After returning to the camp, our army will be rebuilt,"

"Of course," not to mention that there are still more than 20,000 people in the Seventh Army, even if there is not a single soldier left, it will be rebuilt, after all, the number of the Seventh Army has been extended for hundreds of years, and it is impossible to cancel it.

Shangguan Xiu said with a smile: "After returning to the camp, I will pass a letter to the imperial court, so that the imperial court can send troops to make up for the loss of troops in your department,"

"However, even if the establishment is filled, the army is full of new soldiers, and the combat strength will definitely not be as good as before," Jiang Leopard said worriedly.

The more Shangguan Xiu listened, the more wrong he became, Jiang Leopard was not a person who liked to complain, he asked with a smile: "Ah Leopard, what do you want to say?"

Jiang Leopard grinned and said: "Brother Xiu, now our army is short of major generals, as the so-called thousands of troops are easy to get, and one general is hard to find, Brother Xiu, I want to borrow someone from you,"

Oh, finally to the point, Shangguan Xiu finally understood, Jiang Leopard came over and said a lot to his Rory, in the final analysis, he came to ask for someone from himself, he smiled and asked: "Ah Leopard, who do you want to borrow,"

"I think...... I think Liu Biao is good, in the battle of Qingcheng, he and Wang Xu also cooperated very well, Brother Xiu will lend him to me," Jiang Biao scratched his head and said,

Hey, you are a lion with a big mouth, Liu Biao is a spiritual cultivator in the Nirvana realm, among all the soldiers of the Wind Army, there are not a few top-level spiritual cultivators with such cultivation, Liu Biao's combat effectiveness on the battlefield alone is completely comparable to one or two corps.

"Ah Leopard, your appetite is not small,"

"Brother Xiu, I ......"

"Are you sure it's borrowed," Shangguan Xiu raised his eyebrows and asked,

Jiang Leopard said cheekily: "If Brother Xiu is willing to leave Liu Biao in my Seventh Army, it will be the best,"

Shangguan Xiu looked up and smiled, without thinking too much, and said in a brisk tone: "Yes,"

When the leopard heard this, he was overjoyed, and almost jumped up from the carriage, he said repeatedly: "Thank you Brother Xiu, thank you Brother Xiu,"

Shangguan Xiu was amused by his appearance, waved his hand and said, "I'm also tired, so I'll go and get busy with you if I don't have anything to do,"

"Yes, Brother Xiu, my subordinates are retiring," Jiang Leopard happily jumped out of the carriage and ran away, even if after the Battle of Qingcheng, no credit was given to him, as long as Liu Biao came, he was willing,

With such a fierce general in the army, he can raise the combat power of the Seventh Army to a higher level, and no matter which legion he faces head-on in the future, the Seventh Army will not be afraid.

Liu Biao has no objection or dissatisfaction with joining the Seventh Army, these days, he has fought side by side with the officers and soldiers of the Seventh Army, and has also developed a certain feeling, especially with Wang Xu, the two hit it off at first sight, and they are almost inseparable in the army.

Two days later, Shangguan Xiu and the Seventh Army arrived at the Feng Army camp.

The commander of the Feng Army, Wei Chi Zhen, took the generals of the battalion and went out to greet him, and welcomed Shangguan Xiu and Jiang Leopard and others into the Chinese military tent.

The battle report of the battle of Qingcheng, they have already seen it, for Shangguan Xiu's commanders, the generals of the Feng Army are all admired in their hearts, even Wei Chizhen, who has a cold temperament and an arrogant heart, has to admit that the battle of Qingcheng led by Shangguan Xiu was fought beautifully and elegantly, which is equivalent to using one legion to swallow the three legions of the Ningnan Army in a row.

On the same day, a celebration banquet was arranged in the camp of the Fengjun Army to wash the dust for Shangguan Xiu and others, and it was also to celebrate their triumphant return.

During the banquet, Shangguan Xiu picked up the wine cup, and when he saw this, everyone stopped talking and laughing, and raised the wine glass with both hands.

Shangguan Xiu looked around at the people present and said: "In this battle, our army has only won a small victory, and it is still far from the victory of the entire national war, and I don't think there is anything to celebrate now,"

Hearing his words, the excitement of everyone present decreased sharply, and people subconsciously lowered their heads,

He continued: "But in this battle, our army lost more than 70,000 soldiers, these heroic martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the country, worthy of our living people to pay tribute, this cup of wine, pay tribute to the souls of the martyrs in heaven,"

While speaking, Shangguan Xiu got up and left the table, knelt on the ground, and slowly spilled the wine in the wine cup on the ground.

Shangguan Xiu still bowed down and bowed, where did the rest of the generals dare to slack off, people got up one after another, and then knelt on one knee, and said in unison: "Respect for the heroes and martyrs of our army," as he spoke, people poured the wine in their cups on the ground,

After everyone sat down again, Xiao Guan, the commander of the Eighth Army, said: "Your Highness can remember the brothers who died in battle, and the brothers also died without regrets,"

"Yes, the two armies are fighting, and casualties are inevitable, and I ask Your Highness to mourn," the generals said in unison.

Shangguan Xiu waved his hand to everyone, and with a turn of his eyes, he looked at Wei Chi Zhen and asked, "I don't know what General Wei Chi plans to do next,"

Wei Chizhen frowned and didn't reply immediately,

The Ningnan Central Army has five legions in Mingshui County, and now one of them has been removed, but there are still four corps, plus the miscellaneous local army, the total strength is still about 500,000, compared with it, the strength of the Feng Army is still at a disadvantage.

Shangguan Xiu just said, he agreed, the victory in the battle of Qingcheng is indeed very exciting, but it did not fundamentally reverse the situation in Mingshui County, let alone shake the situation of the entire national war, of course, if there is no victory in the battle of Qingcheng, Ningnan's Fifth Army still exists, and if it is filled with 200,000 new troops, Ningnan's total strength in Mingshui County will reach a terrifying more than 800,000, at that time, Ningnan's army will have an overwhelming advantage over its own side,

Wei Chizhen pondered for a while, and then said: "At present, the Ningnan army is cowering in the strong defense system of Qianlong City, and with the strength of our army, it is really difficult to attack.

"When is the confrontation going on,"

"Confrontation until the counter-plot is successful,"

"Counter-plotting,"

"The reason why Qianlong City is so impregnable, firstly, is because of the large number of troops in Ningnan, and secondly, and the most critical point, Liao Ye is good at guarding,"

Wei Chi Zhenzhi said: "The last general has secretly sent a large number of elite spies to secretly infiltrate Tianjing and spread the news that Liao Ye wants to surrender to our country,"

"The people of Ningnan will believe,"

"As long as the eldest grandson Bohao believes, Liao Ye belongs to the eldest grandson Boyuan's line, for the eldest grandson Bohao, the eldest grandson Boyuan has Liao Ye, a cronie with a heavy army, which is extremely unfavorable to himself, he can't wait to catch Liao Ye's handle, once there are rumors that Liao Ye wants to surrender to our country, the eldest grandson Bohao will definitely not miss this opportunity, and will definitely take advantage of this to make trouble, as long as the Ningnan court is willing to change generals, then this battle, our army has won half of it,"

Shangguan Xiu sneered and said, "Liao Ye is the right general of Ning Nanyou, just a few rumors can bring him down,"

Wei Chi Zhen smiled and said: "If you want to bring down Liao Ye only by rumors, it is indeed impossible, but at least it creates an opportunity for the eldest grandson Bohao, to create an opportunity to transfer Liao Ye back to the capital and send his henchmen to Qianlong City to take over the military power, the last general is still the same sentence, as long as the Ningnan Imperial Court changes generals in battle, our army will be much easier to fight in this battle,"

Shangguan Xiu rubbed his chin and asked, "General Wei Chi thinks it will take for your counter-plot to succeed?"

"This ...... I don't dare to say for sure, or it will take a month or two, or half a year or more,"

"For such a long time, our army has been stationed in Mingshui County and waited,"

"Your Highness, this is the safest way for the general,"

"It's really surprising that there was only one Liao Ye, and General Wei Chi was scared to stop,"

"Your Royal Highness, although Liao Ye is not a brave general who can fight habitually, but he can definitely be called an old and cunning guard, look at Liao Ye's life, he has fought a lifetime of battles, and when he is on the defensive, he has never lost, this person's good guard has reached the extreme......"

Without waiting for Lieutenant Chi Zhen to finish speaking, Shangguan Xiu raised his hand and interrupted his words, he looked around at the generals present, and said in a loud voice: "All the generals go back and prepare, three days later, our army will attack the city, in this battle, our army must penetrate Qianlong City, annihilate the main force of the enemy, and completely capture Mingshui County,"

Wei Chi really has his concerns, but Shangguan Xiu also has his own concerns.

The treasury of the Wind Country is about to run out, where can it support the long-term consumption of nearly two million troops, the longer the war drags on, the more unfavorable it will be to the Wind Country, and there is even the possibility of the collapse of the whole army, on the contrary, it will become more and more advantageous for Ningnan.

Ningnan is the side that was sneak attacked, and the country is unprepared, if in this case, the wind army can't quickly establish an absolute advantage, then next, when Ningnan eases up, this battle can't be fought.

In terms of performance, the third war is the long-planned active attack of the wind country, the troops are divided into three ways, and they march into the territory of Ningnan in unison, pressing Ningnan to fight, in fact, the wind army is like standing on the pass of a volcano, it must suppress this volcano, otherwise, once this volcano erupts, the wind army will die and have no place to be buried.

The crisis of Ningnan is on the surface, and the danger of the wind army is a deeper layer below the surface, this battle is a decisive battle of life and death, whether it is for Ningnan or the country of wind,

Wei Chi can really afford to drag it, but Shangguan Xiu can't afford it, to be exact, it is the Wind Country that can't afford to drag it, if the national strength of the Wind Country can really support the Wind Army, and fight this war for a long time, Shangguan Xiu will also be willing to use Wei Chi Zhen's tactics, and the people of Ningnan will slowly consume it.

Hearing Shangguan Xiu's words, all the generals present stood up in unison, intervened in the salute, and said, "The last general will obey the order,"

The battle of Qingcheng made Shangguan Xiu's prestige in the army higher, in this case, even if Shangguan Xiu took them to jump into the fire pit, people would not hesitate to follow him and rush forward.

Looking at Shangguan Xiu, and then at the high-spirited generals, Wei Chizhen frowned tightly and was silent,

Attacking the Hidden Dragon City, which has been defended to a solid level, in his opinion, this is really a strategy, not to mention that his own side will fight more with less, and may not be able to attack the Hidden Dragon City, even if it is really captured in the end, his own soldiers, and I don't know how many people have been killed, and how the remaining remnants will continue to advance to the hinterland of Ningnan,

As far as the grand strategy of the Wind Country is concerned, this is a war that cannot be considered a win regardless of whether one side loses or wins, since this is the case, then why do you have to fight like this, Wei Chizhen shook his head secretly, His Highness is too anxious,

This celebration banquet, the generals basically didn't eat and drink much, so it ended hastily, that night, late at night, Shangguan Xiu had already laid down on the bed, Wu Yufei came in to report, Wei Chi really asked to see,

No need to ask, Shangguan Xiu could also guess the purpose of Wei Chizhen's coming to see him, he said: "It's too late today, let him come to see me again tomorrow morning,"

Before Wu Yufei could reply, Wei Chi Zhen's anxious shout came from outside the sleeping tent: "Your Highness, there will be 100,000 urgent military intelligence reports in the end,"

Shangguan Xiu rubbed his forehead, raised his head and said, "General Wei Chi come in and talk,"
