Chapter 21 Different reactions, the envoy of the Eastern Army meets you
In the camp of Wei Wushu, the sound of 30,000 soldiers was like thunder, deafening.
As a martial artist in the martial arts realm, Zhao Hongming has a strong soul.
He let go of his divine sense, and his vision was dozens of feet high, overlooking the 30,000 army in front of him.
These carefully selected 30,000 Wei warriors, the expressions of each of them fell into his eyes.
There is no fear, no confusion and hesitation, only the desire for blood and meritorious deeds.
The morale was as strong as the scorching sun, and the edge actually made his soul feel a burst of heat.
With his knowledge of living in the palace of Wei for many years, there is no such army in the Six Kingdoms and even the entire world!
Knock knock......
Behind Zhao Hongming, a drum suddenly sounded, and it was Wu Qi's general beating the war drums.
With the sound of drums, 30,000 Wei soldiers kept shouting: "Fight!" War! War! ”
The drum beat from slow to fast, the drum sound seemed to beat in everyone's heart, making the blood of the people present rush to the top of their heads at once.
Zhao Hongming looked at Wu Qi and said, "General Wu, I'll leave the rest to you." ”
Wu Qi shook his head, drew his sword, pointed to the sky and shouted: "Army, open up!" ”
A messenger waved a banner and signaled the army to leave.
After the troops, the 30,000 Wei soldiers were already fully armed.
Each Wei Wushu carried three days' combat rations, which was completely configured at the time of the battle, and had already met the conditions for the army to fight.
And previously, under the order of Zhao Hongming, Wei Wushu was asked to prepare to go to the border for a 15-day visit, and all the grain, grass and camp were well prepared.
Even if Li Mu of Zhao State did not capture Hexi City today, today and tomorrow, Wu Qi will also set off to Yingjun to set up defenses.
Under Wu Qi's orders, all the generals and lieutenants around him took action.
Zhao Hongming witnessed the 30,000 Wei soldiers marching out of the camp in an orderly manner under the leadership of the leading general.
Luling City is located in the center of Ying County, about one hundred and twenty-three miles away from Jinyin City.
If you march quickly, you can reach it in one day.
Every soldier in Wei Wu's stroke is a martial artist, and the lowest is also the cultivation of the three grades of the open pulse, and he has better physical strength than ordinary soldiers.
Not to mention that after such a long period of training, there is basically a lot of improvement.
A mere 100-mile march was no pressure on Wei Wushu.
Ma Chuanping and Leyang, who kept walking briskly, got together to communicate.
The two met in the ancient tomb of Yin Kingdom, and after the escape, the two became more familiar, and the three views coincided, and there were more exchanges, and they gradually became good friends who talked about everything.
Ma Chuanping opened his mouth and said worriedly: "The battle is about to begin, I heard that the Zhao army has 180,000 troops this time, are you afraid?" ”
"It's just a life, what's there to be afraid of?" Le Yang said disapprerovitically: "I am a dignified husband, born in troubled times, and I should carry a three-foot sword to make immortal achievements." King Wu and General Wu are both people with a big pattern, and they have given me the opportunity to wait for low-level martial artists, and they can't be wasted. This battle is a great opportunity for us to make meritorious contributions. ”
Listening to Leyang's words, Ma Chuanping felt a trace of shame in his heart.
Wei Wu was a soldier in his stroke.
The knighthood is level 20, and they only need to kill the heads of two enemy "armorers" to count as a merit.
Before, his cultivation was still relatively low, but after hard cultivation, he had been promoted from the previous third rank of the open pulse to the fifth rank of the open pulse, promoted to two small realms, and was also promoted to a centurion, and even got the title of a first-class duke.
In the face of such a good opportunity, he was timid without a fight.
Damn it.
Leyang said: "If everything goes well, after this big battle, I will almost be able to upgrade to a first-level knighthood and become a second-level upper master." In this way, I will be able to get an extra Wish Stone, and I will also have the opportunity to learn the [Great Dao True Martial Arts] exercises. ”
Ma Chuanping's title is still relatively low, and he has not had the opportunity to touch the higher Wish Stone and some more subtle martial arts techniques.
Seeing Ma Chuanping's disappointed look, Le Yang encouraged: "Old Ma, I think you are usually the most serious in training, and you must be able to make a great contribution this time." When the time comes, don't forget the rich. ”
Ma Chuanping said with a straight look: "Your martial arts talent is better than mine, if you want to talk about support, it should be you who support me." But if I go up, I won't forget you. ”
In Leyang's enlightenment, the last trace of doubt in Ma Chuanping's heart also disappeared.
The same psychology as them abounds in the 30,000 Wei Wu strokes. The whole army is filled with an atmosphere of eagerness to make meritorious contributions.
The sudden attack of the Zhao army put everyone in Ying County in danger.
Jinyin City, which is the closest to Hexi, has a stronger atmosphere of fear of war.
In the yamen of Jinyin City, many officials gathered together and constantly persuaded Li Yan, who was the guardian of Jinyin City.
"My lord, I heard that the 180,000 army of Zhao State has entered Hexi City from Zhao State in a steady stream, and there is still a lot of gossip, this time Zhao State attacked the army of Ying County not only 180,000, but a full 300,000."
"With an army of 300,000, how can a mere Ying County stop it?"
"The army of Zhao has not yet attacked Jinyin City, if we want to leave, there is still a chance, if we wait for the army of Zhao to attack it, we can't leave if we want to."
In the face of the constant admonition of the people below, Li Yan, who was the guardian of the ground, was unmoved.
He is a disciple of Zeng Xiamen, and now he is in his thirties, and he is a cultivator of the Nine Grades of Knowledge, and he is only one step away from becoming a martial artist of the Innate Realm.
As a local martial arts force in Ying County, he has climbed all the way and become the guardian of Jinyin City, which is not easy.
Before Chenjiazhuang gained power, he did not stammer or estrange, so after the fall of Chenjiazhuang, he was not affected in any way.
Under his governance, the people of Jinyin City lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the strength of the city was also thriving.
If he could, he would not want to give up the good situation he had run out of.
During this time, Li Yan found through his own careful analysis that King Wu did not look flustered.
On the contrary, as early as fifteen days ago, like an unpredictable prophet, he expected the Zhao army to attack the city and made corresponding preparations.
Zhang Yi, a guest of Wuwang's Mansion, hoarded a lot of grain and grass in Jinyin City.
This shows that they are not without a chance of winning this battle, and they already have a plan to deal with it.
At the same time, he also inquired secretly, and Emperor Jian'an had also secretly allocated a lot of armaments to King Wu, and Cen Xiu, the general of Wei, was also on his way.
It is not so easy for Zhao Guo and Li Mu to take down Yingjun.
Li believes that he should not make a decision too early before the situation is clear.
He opened his mouth and said: "Hexi County Zai fled, passing through Jinyin City was just recognized by me, and now he has been imprisoned, and after this battle is over, I will hand it over to His Royal Highness King Wu for whereabouts." ”
This act of his, to a certain extent, has already shown his thoughts, and he does not intend to leave the city.
"Your Excellency is confused."
Some officials in the yamen were silent, and directly slammed the door and left, expressing their dissatisfaction with Li Yan.
Li Yan said sternly: "I am in the colleague, if you want to leave today, I will not stop you." If you wait until the army of Zhao comes to the city, if anyone abandons the city and leaves, I will take whoever sacrifices the flag. ”
"Rotten wood cannot be carved, and it is stubborn." After the Governor of Jinyin left a sentence, he left one after another with a group of officials from Jinyin City.
After a while, most of the officials of Jinyin City were left one after another, and only some small officials who were not good at words on weekdays but were down-to-earth and affirmative.
Li Yi's face didn't change much, and said, "Let's all go back and do things." The sky is falling, and there are tall people on top of it, so you don't need to worry too much. ”
The officials under him were worried, did not dare to say more, and scattered to do the business at hand.
Li Yan got up and walked to the back of the house, and Peng Shi followed.
In the back room, Li Yan stopped and said, "Who has the intention of escaping, have you written them down?" ”
"Got it."
Li Yan said in a low voice: "Now that Zhang Yi, a guest of the Martial King Sect, is in the city, you go and secretly hand over this list to him, just say that these people want to flee in fear." ”
Peng Shi was stunned, and only reacted after a while: "My lord, who are you?" ”
"Don't ask too much, just do what you want to do."
Most of the people who left were from the Great Martial Arts Forces or Great Families, and they often competed with him in the past.
If Yingjun does not fall this time, it will be of great benefit to him that this group of people is gone.
Seeing Li Yan's solemn appearance, Peng Shi didn't ask any more questions, bowed his head and responded, and went to do things according to his instructions.
……
After Wei Wushu opened the barracks, the entire camp had become much empty, and even the troops in charge of logistics had begun to dismantle the barracks tent and plan to move to the front line.
Zhao Hongming didn't stay any longer, and under Gao Yanshi's proper arrangement, he sat in the carriage and returned to King Wu's Mansion.
By the time he returned to Yingjun, it was already afternoon.
I don't know if it was because he beheaded five beauties, or because of the invasion of the Zhao army, the already depressed Luling City became even more depressed at this time.
There were few pedestrians on the streets, and even fewer warriors with weapons were seen.
The convoy slowly stopped at the gate of the Wuwang Mansion, and Gao Yanshi said respectfully: "Your Highness, we have arrived." ”
Zhao Hongming, who was sitting in the carriage, hummed lightly and stepped out of the carriage.
Surrounded by many guards, he entered the Wuwang Mansion.
When Zhao Hongming entered the Wuwang Mansion, a servant hurried over and whispered a few words in Gao Yanshi's ear.
After a while, Gao Yanshi walked to Zhao Hongming's side, lowered his eyebrows, and said, "Your Highness, the Eastern Army has sent someone to discuss the matter of the Zhao State Army with Your Highness." ”
"Eastern Army?" Zhao Hongming didn't know the other party's purpose for the time being, and ordered: "Bring him into the Taihe Palace, and the king will arrive later." ”
Gao Yanshi did as he was told.
Zhao Hongming went out today to dress more casually, and it was a little out of order.
He first went back to the dormitory, changed into a more solemn royal robe, and then rushed to the Taihe Palace.
In the Taihe Palace, I saw the people sent by the Eastern Army this time.
He is a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, with a goatee.
His skin was dark, and there was a scar about seven inches long at the corner of his eyebrows, which extended to the base of his ear, adding a bit of hideousness to his countenance.
"Meet His Royal Highness King Wu in Xia Zhuwei, His Royal Highness King Wu is a thousand years old."
The man named Zhu Wei saluted on the Taihe Palace, but he did not bow down as he did when he saw the royal etiquette, and there was a bit of pride between his eyebrows.
Gao Yanshi, who was on the side, looked unhappy, and wanted to question but was stopped by Zhao Hongming.
Zhao Hongming opened his mouth and said: "I don't know if you came to meet this king this time, is it that General Lu Zonghui of the Eastern Army has any combat strategy that needs the cooperation of this king?" ”
"Exactly." Zhu Wei smiled and continued: "Does Your Highness know how many troops Li Mu of Zhao Guo sent this time?" ”
"One hundred and eighty thousand."
"How many troops does Your Highness have in his hands?"
Zhao Hongming saw Zhu Wei speaking in such a lofty tone, and frowned: "If General Zhu has anything to say, he might as well say it directly." The king's time is precious, and he has no time to beat around the bush with you. ”
"Your Highness is really a cheerful person." Zhu Wei said straight to the point: "Our General Lu and Zhao Guo Li Mu have fought several times, and the other party is a general who is good at using soldiers, and it is very difficult to deal with. So General Lu also made preparations early. ”
"Our general has now recruited 160,000 troops, but he lacks 100,000 armor, bows and crossbows and other armaments, which requires the support of His Highness. Our general once said that as long as His Highness's 100,000 armaments are complete, he will have an eight-point chance of winning, and he will immediately send troops to assist His Highness and resist the army of Zhao together with His Highness. ”
100,000 armaments?!
Hearing this word, Zhao Hongming's eyes couldn't help narrowing.
This number is exactly the number of armaments prepared for him by Emperor Jian'an.
It seems that Lu Zonghui didn't know where to hear the news, and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of Zhao Guo's army to attack the city and come to get a piece of the pie.
Zhao Hongming's face instantly turned a little colder, and he said coldly: "What if this king can't get together these 100,000 armaments?" ”
Zhu Wei's face was not red and his heart was not beating: "Then it will take His Highness to hold on alone for a while." His Royal Highness knows that soldiers do not fight unprepared battles, and this time the Zhao State is menacing, and the pressure on our generals is also very great, so we can't act rashly. ”
Hearing this, Zhao Hongming laughed angrily, and directly pierced and stood up and said: "Isn't it just that I see that this king is weak and weak, and I don't have a backer and think that this king is easy to bully?" ”
Faced with a big hat buttoned down by Zhao Hongming, Zhu Wei did not accept it.
He knew that now the royal family of Wei was still their nominal king, and if this hat was buttoned down, although he didn't know what would happen, he still needed to pay more attention to the principle that more things are better than less things.
Zhu Wei said with a smile: "This is the normal rhythm of the soldiers' marching and fighting, not as His Highness said, it is bullying His Highness." ”
"Huh." Zhao Hongming looked at each other coldly: "If General Lu thinks that this king is a soft persimmon, then he is very wrong." You go back and tell General Lu that this king does not have 100,000 soldiers, and if he watches the fire from the other side, then he will bear the consequences. Don't blame the king, don't be afraid to say anything. ”
"Gao Yanshi, send off!"
"Yes!" Gao Yanshi walked down the main hall and said, "Please! ”
Zhu Wei didn't expect Zhao Hongming to refuse so decisively, as if he didn't even have the idea of talking to them.
"Your Highness is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, I hope that Your Highness will not regret it when the army of Zhao Kingdom arrives in the city." He couldn't help but be a little angry, waved his sleeves, and strode away directly.
