Chapter 146: Ambush

Huo Changqing immediately laughed angrily when he heard this: "The eighty percent chance of winning that the old man said is based on the reliability of the generals. If you meet someone like Liu Beichuan who doesn't know anything to fight, even if you have a 10% chance of winning, you can lose this battle in the end!"

Huo Changqing couldn't help but ask, "Liu Beichuan and Zuo Ye, those idiots don't know how to march and fight, what about my old man?" How could he agree to such a mindless decision?!"

"Huo Changqing!" Shen Zhao scolded.

Under a scolding, Huo Changqing did not continue to scold, but his face was still full of anger.

Sheng Qingyuan said to him patiently, "Now I see that Old General Huo has suffered treatment that he shouldn't have suffered, but have you ever thought about why Old General Huo still accepts such an obviously unreasonable arrangement?"

"Why else, isn't it because of the one with the surname Zuo?" Huo Changqing said angrily.

Huo Changqing couldn't help but scold again: "That's a dog in front of the Queen Mother! I only think about how to please the Queen Mother and how to make benefits for himself!"

"Since you also know that he is the person in front of the Queen Mother, then you should know very well how much weight his words carry in front of the Queen Mother and the Emperor." Sheng Qingyuan said to him.

"So what?! They don't know how to lead soldiers!" Huo Changqing said dissatisfied.

Sheng Qingyuan sneered helplessly and said to him, "Yes, they don't know how to lead troops to fight, but they are the ones who can best decide who will be in command. Looking at Zuo Ye's appearance, he must let Liu Beichuan go up no matter what, since this is a foregone conclusion, if you still want to have the possibility of winning this battle, you must be equipped with a veteran who can control the overall situation, your father is the best choice!"

"But......" Huo Changqing wanted to say something.

It's just that before he could say anything, Sheng Qingyuan asked him with a straight face, "Do you want your father not to suffer this grievance, let your father go back to the house, and then watch Liu Beichuan and Wei Shanqing lead troops to face Yanbei?" Or do you hope that your father will be a little wronged for the time being, but at least there is a chance of victory in this battle?"

The two options were thrown in front of Huo Changqing, and Huo Changqing, who was still angry just now, suddenly lost his voice.

"Such a simple choice, I believe you should know how to choose? Your dad has already given you the choice he wants, so the next thing you should do is respect his choice." Sheng Qingyuan said to him.

Huo Changqing clenched his fists and his eyes were red.

In fact, he has always understood this truth in his heart, and he also knows that in the current environment, the current situation is already the best situation.

But even if I was clear in my heart, I still couldn't stop feeling angry and powerless.

Such a court, that one by one, will only think about their own benefits, will only think about consolidating their own power, but never think about the people below.

Huo Changqing lowered his head, took a long deep breath, and then his emotions barely calmed down a little, looked up at Shen Zhao, and asked, "His Royal Highness King Jing, when will you be ready?"

Jiang Niannian hadn't left yet, and when he heard his words, he stared at him with round eyes in surprise.

She wasn't shocked that Shen Zhao would have such a thought, she even hoped that Shen Zhao could succeed in her heart. Look at the book

What shocked her even more was that Huo Changqing would directly tell her feelings in front of her and in front of so many people.

At least, Han Shouli is still here.

Shen Zhao gently patted Huo Changqing's shoulder, but didn't say anything.

"If this battle is won, Liu Beichuan is willing to obediently listen to my Lao Tzu's words, I can barely swallow this breath, but if I ......" Huo Changqing's eyes turned even redder.

"Okay, you go back first, General Huo has already returned to the house if he wants to come, he may have some things to explain to you, you can go back." Han Shouli said to Huo Changqing.

Huo Changqing took a deep breath, nodded, turned around and left.

When he walked to the door, Huo Changqing couldn't help but turn back and said to Shen Zhao, "When are you ready, please."

The first time I was told, I couldn't take it anymore."

After speaking, Huo Changqing strode away.

Thinking back to Huo Changqing's seemingly very impulsive and brainless words just now, but in fact, who didn't think so about the few people here?

It's just that some words are just thought about in the heart, but they are not easy to say on the surface.

"Can't you change it anymore?" Shen Zhao asked Han Shouli.

Han Shouli shook his head.

Looking at Shen Zhao, there was something he wanted to say, but he wanted to stop talking, Jiang Nian left with interest, and closed the door for them.

Around this house, Sheng Qingyuan deliberately added a lot of soundproofing materials when decorating, so it is a good choice to say things in this house.

Han Shouli said to Shen Zhao, "Actually, this time is also an opportunity."

"What chance?" Shen Zhao asked.

Han Shouli didn't speak, but looked north.

This time, after the generals who went to lead the troops to fight were determined, the people in the capital soon knew.

When the big guy heard it, it turned out to be Liu Beichuan as the commander, and General Huo Lao could only be a deputy general, and none of the people understood.

"Who is this Liu Beichuan? How does he qualify to be a manager? And you want to crush General Huo underneath?"

"Liu Beichuan is the martial champion, and then he also married the daughter of the military department's squire, but some time ago he suddenly wanted to marry the princess of Yanbei, so he was crazy to please the princess of Yanbei, but unfortunately, the princess didn't care about him at all, and this matter was known by the military department's squire, so he was kicked out of the door."

"Isn't it equivalent to sending our children to the battlefield to die?"

"Eh, my son is also on the battlefield, if my son is gone because of such a general who can't be on the stage, I must fight against them even if I fight for my life!"

"No, no, no, how can this kind of thing be casual? The kind of people who have never been on the battlefield, let them be a petty officer in the army, what kind of commander? Isn't that a delay?"

"How many times has General Huo fought in that old general, he should be the commander to be the boss, the one surnamed Liu has never led soldiers, how can he be embarrassed to be this boss in front of General Huo?"

"No, it's shameless at all, but it's still miserable for our ordinary soldiers. If the boss gives an unreliable order, they will be the ones who will die."

"Alas......

When the people knew that the commander of the troops this time was Liu Beichuan, and General Huo Lao was only a deputy general, they all expressed their worries and distrust of Liu Beichuan.

After Liu Beichuan heard these words, his face was ugly.

I endured the urge to lift the table very loudly before I vented it.

These people only know that he can't do it, but none of them have seen him strategizing on the battlefield, how can they know that he can't do it?

The surname Huo is already a handful of years, how much role can he have?

This time, he wants to let everyone know that he is worthy of his name.

Moreover, he also wants everyone to know that the coach is the coach, and no matter how powerful the deputy general is, he is just a deputy general!

In addition to Liu Beichuan, there are also Zuo Ye and Chu Xuanjin who insisted on this decision.

Some courtiers tried to persuade Zuo Ye and Chu Xuanjin to change their minds again, but not only could they not succeed in persuasion, but they were even beaten by the board.

After Sheng Qingyuan and Shen Zhao heard these things, they were not surprised at all.

Since they are so persistent, then the evil consequences that should be eaten cannot be escaped at all.

Two days later, the army marched out, and Liu Beichuan was wearing armor and sitting on a horse, looking very sassy.

looked around, and finally saw Sheng Qingyuan's figure upstairs at the city gate, and hooked the corners of his lips at her, his face was full of pride.

When this time is over, he will make everyone who looks down on him regret it!

"Let's go, go home.

Sheng Qingyuan said to Shen Zhao, his voice a little muffled.

Although she hoped that Liu Beichuan would pay the price for his arrogance, the most direct consequences of this price were the lives of countless ordinary people, which was not what she wanted to see.

But her ability is not enough, even if she doesn't want to see this result, she is powerless to change.

"Okay, go home." Shen Zhao held Sheng Qingyuan's hand and said to her.

Looking at the picture of the two leaving affectionately, Liu Beichuan's face became more and more ugly.

"General? General, may we leave?" Liu Beichuan's entourage asked him.

Liu Beichuan shouted angrily, "Let's go!!"

As soon as the words fell, a huge army set off and headed for the border pass.

Four days later, the army reached the border, and not long after, news of defeat was heard.

Sheng Qingyuan looked at the news that came back and sneered, "Liu Beichuan, was his brain kicked by a donkey? What is he thinking he is?! The soldiers trekked through mountains and rivers to reach the border pass, and they were all too tired to work, so they rushed to let them fight?! Also, such an obvious trap, can't he tell it?!"

According to the battle report that came back, as soon as the army arrived at the border pass, Liu Beichuan did not give them a chance to rest at all, and directly led people to provoke the army of Yanbei.

The two sides fought a little, Yanbei was defeated and retreated quickly, Liu Beichuan thought that Yanbei was weak, and led people to take advantage of the victory to pursue, regardless of General Huo's persuasion, so he rushed over.

The result can be imagined, it was a pit dug by Yanbei, waiting for their arrival.

The thousands of soldiers who rushed over with Liu Beichuan were gone.

He still sacrificed a lot of circumstances in Zuo Ye's people before he reluctantly returned to the military camp of the Great Zhou.

At the beginning, thousands of soldiers were lost, and General Rao is old Huo was already mentally prepared, and his face couldn't help but be very ugly.

Liu Beichuan escaped death, and as soon as he came back, he angrily came to General Huo and asked him, "Why don't you send troops?!" Why do you want so many soldiers to stop them from following me?! If you can get them to come along, then ......."

Before Liu Beichuan could finish speaking, General Huo interrupted him coldly: "Then it will give more lives innocently!" Before this battle has officially begun, our army will be able to lose most of it!"

"You're farting! If you hadn't stopped us, with so many elite soldiers in our Great Zhou, would we still be afraid of them?!" Not to be outdone, Liu Beichuan retorted.

Old General Huo sneered, and didn't care that Liu Beichuan was behind Zuo Ye, so he raised his hand and grabbed Liu Beichuan's collar, dragged him to the front of the sand table, pointed to a valley, and said to him, "You are ambushed here this time!"

"This place has a narrow canyon, and the Yanbei Army is ambushed on it, once our people enter this canyon, they can push down the rolling stones and release arrows, and the position below is narrow, and our people don't even have a place to hide!" Old General Huo was also angry.
