Chapter 191: Suspicion

Lin Haotian glanced at him indifferently, unmoved, and then, he suddenly stood up, waved his hand violently, and threw the wine glass in his hand on Ouyang Xuan's face, at the same time, the bright and soft smile on his face also disappeared, replaced by a cold evil smile, and said quietly: "I can tell you the truth, you, along with those wooden troops under you, will all die!"

As soon as Lin Haotian's words fell, the guards on both sides swarmed up, pressed Ouyang Xuan to the ground, and dragged him out a few steps, and then the executioner stood behind him with a ghost head knife in his hand.

Ouyang Xuan woke up like a dream, it turned out that Lin Haotian didn't plan to spare himself at all, let alone let go of his own soldiers who were trapped in the sea of fire, he had made up his mind to kill them all.

Knowing that he had no hope of life, Ouyang Xuan also let go, even if he was forcibly pushed to his knees by the guards, his mouth was not idle, and he scolded: "Lin Haotian, you erect horseman, this general will not let you go, sooner or later, one day, your fate will be ten times worse than mine, haha......"

"Hehe......" Listening to Ouyang Xuan's scolding, Lin Haotian first let out a chuckle, then got up on his back, sat down again, and took another plate of beef from the tray behind him, and raised his head to the executioner while stuffing it into his mouth.

The executioner understood, picked up the ghost head knife, aimed it at Ouyang Xuan's neck, and slashed it viciously.

"Pounce!"

This knife cleanly cut off Ouyang Xuan's neck, and the severed head fell to the ground, and the blood arrow sprayed out from the body cavity one or two meters high, forming a bright red blood spring in the air.

Lin Haotian looked at it with a smile, and the small silver knife in his hand also cut off the pieces of meat from time to time, inserted them, and stuffed them into his mouth......

In this war that took place around Nagawa County, the wooden army can be called completely annihilated. More than 100,000 people, except for more than 5,000 people who escaped by chance, the rest of the people either died in the killing of the Jin army or were burned alive in the sea of fire.

When the Jin army cleaned up the battlefield, they threw all the corpses of the wooden army into the fiery Jin army camp, and there were many corpses of the wooden army. Even if the Jin camp burned until noon, it was not burned clean, and after the fire gradually subsided, the Jin army entered the Jin camp to check, and everywhere they looked, there were black and deformed corpses that had been burned, some of the corpses had shrunk to the size of children, some of the corpses were hugged together, and some of the corpses were stacked on top of each other, piled up half a meter high. It can be seen that the Zuihou Mu Army thought of using the method of piling up corpses to isolate the fire, but unfortunately they still failed to escape under the ravages of the fire snake.

Seeing this tragic situation, even the soldiers of the Jin army were moved, and people dug a big pit outside the Jin camp and buried the charred corpses of the camp on the spot.

This fiasco led to the death of 100,000 troops of the Mu Army, which was not a fatal blow to the Mu Country. It is also a big injury to the muscles and bones, and the vitality is greatly damaged.

It was precisely from the beginning of this battle that Mu Guo really saw the horror of the Jin Army. From then on, he never dared to underestimate Jin Guo in any way.

As for Lin Haotian's burning and killing of the Mu Kingdom's surrendered army, in order to maintain the image of the Jin army, this matter was completely undertaken by Ling Wuya alone.

In order to make a good appearance, Lin Haotian also ordered Ling Wuya's title to be reduced by two levels and punished for three years.

He did this because he wanted the countries of the Abyss Continent to prove it. He was against killing and surrendering the army, and he was completely unaware of what Ling Wuya was doing.

However, the punishments he made to Ling Wuya were all imaginary, and in reality, Ling Wuya was still the vanguard of Jin's army. can still charge forward for his own side, although Lin Haotian received Ling Wuya's Yulu, but the reward he gave him in private was several times or dozens of times more than Yulu.

The news of the annihilation of the Mu army in Changyu and Shangpu counties quickly spread back to the capital of Mu Kingdom, and when they heard this news, not only the court of Mu Kingdom was in an uproar, but the whole country was in a panic.

Mu Guo has not suffered such a defeat on the battlefield for decades, and as a result, the battle of Changyu and Shangpu directly shattered the confidence of the people of Mu Guo.

The death of nearly 200,000 soldiers of the Mu Country this time has sharply reduced the number of strong men in the Mu Country, which is difficult to recover for ten or even twenty years.

Hearing this, Liu Ji was shocked, sad and angry, and the current worries from the Red Army have not been resolved, and as a result, the more than 200,000 soldiers he had hoarded in Changyu and Shangpu counties of Jin State were completely annihilated, and such an outcome was something he had never expected before.

Wood country, above the court.

Liu Ji sat on the king's chair with a sad face, his head drooped down, and the whole person looked listless.

At this time, Sima Feng, the general of the Mu Kingdom, walked out of the train and said, "The king, the minister has something to do!"

Liu Ji took a deep breath, waved his hand and said, "Speak!"

"My lord, the soldiers of our army who stayed in the two counties of Changyu and Shangpu were ambushed by the Jin army, and now the two counties have been occupied by the Jin army. ”

"Smack!"

Before Sima Feng finished speaking, Liu Ji suddenly slapped the table.

The loud noise echoed in the hall, and the bodies of Changtian and the ministers on both sides trembled, and they all fell to their knees.

Liu Ji stood up, looked around at the ministers kneeling below, and shouted: "I heard this news last night, don't you have anything else to play?"

"King" Sima Feng swallowed and foamed, and said in a trembling voice: "The Jin army must have been prepared for this battle, and the Red Army must have sent troops to our country under their instigation, and this time our army was defeated by insufficient preparation!"

Liu Ji waved his hand and said impatiently: "Don't tell me that it's useless, you just tell me, what should our army do next?"

Sima Feng's eyes rolled, and then, as if he had thought of something, he said to Liu Ji: "King, the minister will raise one person, and he can help my Mu Kingdom recapture the two counties of Changyu and Shangpu." ”

"Oh?" Liu Ji's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Who is it?"

"Chen's nephew Sima Changren!"

Sima Changren is the son of Sima Feng's elder brother, he is not very old, only in his early thirties, the son inherited his father's lordship, and he was already a marquis in his twenties, but he did not have the arrogance of those nobles of other countries, humble and polite, and studious, that is, proficient in military books and war strategies, and well versed in poetry, calligraphy and painting, worthy of the name of civil and military all-rounder, but also won Liu Ji's trust and love.

In addition, there is no exaggeration of any aristocracy from Sima Changren, but there are many nobles of the Mu Kingdom in him, who value etiquette, know how to love and respect ordinary people, value reputation more than their own lives, are infinitely loyal to the monarch and the country, and are willing to sacrifice for this at any time, etc.

Hearing Sima Feng say this, the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty also followed suit, and said in a loud voice: "The general is right, only General Sima Changren can solve the crisis of our country!"

"The minister also agrees to let General Sima Changren lead the army to attack the Jin army!"

"General Sima is the most suitable candidate!"

......

One person said this, Liu Ji may still have some concerns, but since the Manchu Dynasty civil and military unanimously agreed that Sima Changren would lead the army to subdue the lost territory, he had nothing to hesitate about, and that night, he summoned Sima Changren alone in his study.

Liu Ji first asked Sima Changren to sit down, first chatted with him with a smile, and then cut to the chase and said: "At present, there are only 100,000 infantry and 50,000 cavalry that can be mobilized in the country.

Sima Changren didn't even think about it, and replied directly: "At the end of this battle, there will be an eighty percent chance of winning!"

"Oh?" Liu Ji was shocked in his heart, but he was still silent on the surface, he smiled slightly, and said: "The Jin army is far from being comparable to the past, Aiqing must not despise it!" "His own side is close to 200,000 people, and the whole army was wiped out by the Jin army, and now only Sima Changren is allowed to lead 150,000 men and horses, how can there be such a high chance of victory?"

Sima Changren smiled proudly, and arched his hand and said: "King, although the last general has not many troops in his hands, the last general has his own way to win, as long as the last general has military power in his hands, he can crisscross the battlefield, no one can match, not to mention that the Jin army is only 200,000, even if there are millions, the last general has the confidence to kill him without leaving a piece of gold thief!"

When he said this, it was an exaggeration, but the main purpose was to reassure Liu Ji and not worry about the war on the border, which was also his expression of consideration for Liu Ji.

However, when these words were heard in Liu Ji's ears, the taste completely changed. (To be continued......)
