Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Battle Goes Back
What Wei Tiange didn't know was that after a few years, he was very glad that he had made today's decision to save Xie Jiao under the persuasion of Wei Yingluo, if it weren't for Xie Jiao, Yan Guo might have been captured by the Jin State in a few years, this is a later story, not to mention it for the time being.
And Ye Yunyi, who was thousands of miles away, would not know that Xie Jiao, who was protected by Wei Yingluo at this moment, had become the strongest obstacle for him to attack Yan in the future.
After Wei Yingluo got Wei Tiange's reply, she happily left the palace and went to find Song Xuan, although she didn't have that kind of childlike affection for Xie Jiao, but she has always treated Xie Jiao as a close person all these years, and Xie Jiao's talent made her value.
According to what Wei Tiange said, it seems that it is not very possible to save Xie Jiao, but these are not as difficult as imagined for Wei Yingluo, who has mastered the military assassination, as long as he finds a death criminal who is very similar to Xie Jiao, changes their clothes, and when it is time for Xin Xing, cover it up a little, it will be easy to deceive him.
In fact, at this time, the people of Yan Kingdom just wanted to see Xie Jie's death to alleviate their grief, and they would not take a closer look, so Wei Yingluo, who got the military assassination, could use the military assassin's hands to prepare everything before Xingxing.
Wei Yingluo, who regained the command of the military assassin, took the lead in using the secret net of the military assassin to find people who were very similar to Xie Jiao among the death row prisoners in Yan Kingdom, and at the same time, she had to go to Song Xuan, I believe that Song Xuan would be happy to do her a favor.
With Song Xuan's help, he can protect Xie Jiao from the world, and at the same time, he must not be allowed to continue to survive as Xie Jiao, so Wei Yingluo has already thought about it, and when the time comes, he will arrange Xie Jiao into the military thorn, and it just so happens that he still lacks a powerful military thorn by his side.
Wei Yingluo, who had given these tasks, had time to sort out the information about the battle of Qingyun City, and the information collected by the military assassin could help her understand the privacy of it very well, why the Yan army of 200,000 was defeated in a war that seemed inevitable to be won.
And by looking at the information gathered by various military assassins, all the reasons point to Xie Wang's arrogant command. However, Wei Yingluo's intuition told her that things were not that simple, so she checked all the information about Qingyun City again and again.
Sure enough, in the end, she mentioned in several deserter offerings that an unknown army was attacking behind them, which led to the rout of the 100,000-strong army behind. Otherwise, even if the Yan army failed this time, it would not have suffered such a serious loss, and at least 100,000 troops would be able to withdraw to Jinanzhou.
So Wei Yingluo asked her subordinates to bring the relevant map of Jinanzhou, and along with what the soldier said, she drew the possible route of this unknown army on the map, and as she drew it, suddenly, a bold idea came into her mind.
You must know that she is Dongfang Yu's apprentice, and in terms of intelligence, if it weren't for her daughter, Dongfang Yu would probably have helped her ascend the throne. So Wei Yingluo, who understood the general situation, hurriedly asked people to invite Song Xuan, and then called Xie Jiao, who had just been rescued.
She wants to ask them to verify whether her conjecture is correct or not, on the Chu side, due to the existence of Ye Yunyi's secret pavilion, the saber she secretly sent has not been able to penetrate the interior of the Chu State very well, and many useful news are basically known.
So she can only rely on Xie Jiao, who has experienced herself, and Song Xuan, who is experienced in combat, to verify her conjecture, if everything is as she guessed, then this time Yan Guo will not complain at all if she loses, then Yan Guo will have to re-examine the existence of Chu State.
It didn't take long for Song Xuan to hurry over, along with Xie Jiao, who had already been executed on the surface.
Xie Jiao learned that he was able to survive this time because of Wei Yingluo's plea, and he was already disheartened before, but at this moment, he rekindled his fighting spirit, not asking for her love, but begging to be able to be by her side. This time he was no longer Xie Jie, but a member of Wei Yingluo's military assassins.
"General Song, Brother Xie, please take a seat", after the two arrived, Wei Yingluo beckoned them to make a decision.
"I don't need it, I am very grateful to the princess for saving her life, if there is anything, although the princess orders, I will do my best."
"No, I asked the two of you to come over, I just want the two of you to see where our Yan Kingdom was defeated in the battle of Qingyun City."
Hearing the battle of Qingyun City, Xie Jiao's eyes instinctively flashed with a pain, and he covered up the past well.
"Princess, the old minister doesn't understand, in the battle of Qingyun City, didn't we lose the reinforcements of the Chu State, what else is there to explore?"
"General Song, don't worry, let's listen to the party Xie Jie, presumably Xie Jia experienced that battle, and his memory of that battle should be very deep."
Xie Jiao took a deep breath and said, "Princess, you ask, I'll tell you everything I saw in person at that time."
Wei Yingluo nodded, and then Xie Jiao told the situation in front of the two, according to what Xie Jiao said, as long as their Yan army dragged out that night, the Chu army would inevitably be defeated, but that night, the battle situation changed drastically, and the balance of victory suddenly tilted towards the Chu army.
"You mean, I don't know why the Jin army launched an attack on the flank of Ji Nan Prefecture halfway? And it's menacing, it's completely like it's either you die or I die? ”
Before Xie Jiao finished speaking, Song Xuan stood up in shock and asked, "Impossible, we have reached an agreement with the Jin Kingdom", speaking of this, Song Xuan looked at Wei Yingluo embarrassedly.
Because the so-called agreement is to use the guise of Wei Yingluo and the pro-Jin State to drag the Jin State.
"General Song, please believe me, I have no intention of prevarication, this is the case, when the Jin State suddenly launched an attack, my father had already prepared to gather all the troops, once the sky was bright, he would launch a fatal blow to the Chu army, but that night, the sudden attack of the Jin army disrupted our position, and my father had no choice but to lead an army of 50,000 to block."
"It shouldn't be, even if our Yan army fights and has to gather all the troops, it is impossible not to have any defense against the Jin Kingdom, right?" Song Xuan continued to ask questions about his doubts.
"The fact is also as General Song said, when we attacked Chu State in the middle of the way, we encountered a strong counterattack by the Chu army in Qingyun City, and my father took Qingyun City as soon as possible in order to be foolproof, so the defenders who defended the Yan Army before were also transferred to the front line to attack Chu State, so it caused the emptiness on the side of Ji Nanzhou."
"Confused, how dare Xie Wang do this, doesn't he know that doing so is simply a taboo for soldiers?" After listening to Xie Jiao's explanation, Song Xuan felt that Xie Wang's boldness was at the same time, but he also felt that Xie Wang's arrogance had hurt him.
"Princess, according to this inference, then the result of the defeat of this battle is completely due to Xie Wang's poor command", Song Xuan heard this, and directly defined this battle.
"Don't worry, General Song, I don't know if you have ever cared, Xie Jiao mentioned that when they saw the reinforcements of the Chu army arriving, they were already preparing to retreat, so why did they face the pursuit of less than 100,000 Chu troops, why couldn't my 100,000 Yan army even withdraw 50,000?"
Hearing Wei Yingluo's analysis, Song Xuan also felt that he had found something unreasonable, he knew the combat effectiveness of their Yan army best, even if he was defeated, with the seventy or eighty thousand army of the Chu army, it was completely a fool's dream to swallow the one hundred thousand army of his Yan country.
"General Song also thinks it's unreasonable, right, look, this is the map of Jinan Prefecture that I let people find, presumably General Song is very familiar with these places, Xie Jiao mentioned that when they were ready to retreat, a strange and sudden team appeared behind our Yan army to block the way of retreat, and it was also because of their appearance that the road to the retreat of our Yan army was blocked, and the fleeing Yan army was in chaos this time, resulting in the annihilation of the army."
"Just as the princess said", Xie Jie's affirmative answer confirmed Wei Yingluo's conjecture.
"And where did this army come from? Why haven't we heard about it at all? And their combat effectiveness is even more terrifying, are they from the Jin State or the Chu State"? Wei Yingluo asked several questions in a row, so that several people didn't know how to answer.
I don't know what to ask, the more I think about it, the easier it is for Wei Yingluo to see these things and Ye Yunyi, because of a few contacts, she feels this sudden feeling of intrusion and the technique of grasping the vulnerable and breaking the enemy, she has only seen it in Ye Yunyi.
