Chapter 54: Soldiers Descend on the City

In Qingyang City, Feng Jingquan was ordered to secretly meet the emperor Qu Huaier. The latter asked straight to the point: "Your Majesty's insistence on attacking Yan State this time is really as rumored by the outside world, just because Guo Yuan made a big fuss in the imperial city, and there is nowhere to vent his anger?" ”

Feng Jingquan bowed his body and replied cautiously: "The emperor knows that Guo Yuan entered the palace alone that day, although Quan'er asked the holy monk of Kongshan to help, but he was still exploited by the thief. That's a whole decade! This makes Quan'er how to swallow this breath. I can't kill the Guo family! ”

Qu Huaier muttered: "There is a reason for the incident, but it is also reasonable. The old man also agrees with this move, but you have to remember that if you want to achieve the hegemony of dominating the world, achieve an emperor through the ages, and weaken the power of military generals in various places, it is inevitable that you will not fight this battle, since you have decided to fight, you have to fight to the end in one go, and finish all Zhu Wang's army, and at the same time, on the premise of preserving the strength to the maximum, destroy the Yan State at all costs, or then suffer endlessly! ”

Feng Jingquan treated Qu Huaier as if he were a god, and replied respectfully: "Quan'er knows." ”

Suddenly, Qu Huaier asked coldly, "Do you know the biggest difference between you and Feng Jing'an?" ”

"The disciple is stupid, and I ask the emperor to make it clear."

Qu Huaier said with a smile: "Feng Jing'an is kind-hearted, always thinking about convincing people with virtue, leaving three points in case of trouble, not killing everything, leaving a line everywhere, this kind of life in a peaceful and prosperous world, will naturally be a virtuous monarch who is loved by others." But in troubled times, it is not a good thing to have compassion, the old man has persuaded many times, but he has never listened, of course, this is nature. And you are different, unscrupulous means to achieve the goal, and more importantly, you are willing to listen to the old man's words and obey the old man's words. ”

Feng Jingquan said in a deep voice: "Quan'er is willing to be the puppet of the emperor." ”

————

The army was opened, and Zhu Wang personally led an army of 100,000 and gathered outside the city of the hundred divisions.

For this siege, Zhu Wang actually has no bottom in his heart, he has fought with Baili Jin several times, without any victory, and this time as the siege party, and the number is not dominant, he really can't think of any good way, and he can't guess Feng Jing's whole mind. But the emperor's order is difficult to disobey, in the past ten years, if the generals did not still have Li Jian to support the scene, they would have become the laughing stock of the Liang Kingdom. Although Zhu Wang is now a "loyal and brave marquis", he is privately ridiculed by Yongzhou officialdom as an "invincible general", although Zhu Wang is full of resentment, he can only pinch his nose and endure it silently. Looking at the gate of the Hundred Divisions City five miles away, Zhu Wang waved his hand and ordered the army to stop resting and camp on the spot.

On the tower of the city, Baili Jin was wearing heavy armor, ready to fight at any time, and sneered, if it weren't for the fact that Li Chengzhi, the king of Yan, was always on guard against the Chu State taking the opportunity to sneak attack, the 100,000 troops stationed in Daoma City did not move, and he was only willing to hand over 100,000 soldiers and horses to Baili Jin, who had already led the army out of the city to fight at this moment. Zhu Wang's 100,000 army, in Bailijin's view, is just a heavy military feat, if the Yan State Iron Cavalry can pour out of the nest, form a horn momentum, besiege on three sides, within three days, will be able to slaughter the 100,000 Liang army!

Turned his head to look at Jiang Daohua beside him and asked, "Is there a good way to break the enemy?" ”

Jiang Daohua said with a smile: "The famous general of the previous dynasty once said that the national war is nothing more than attacking the city and defending the city, and the defending side occupies the advantage of time and place, and can adjust and respond in time to the strategy of the besieging side." And the two armies are against each other, nothing more than divided into cavalry and cavalry, riding against foot, my Dayan soldiers are born tall and long-armed, far more burly than Liang dogs, better at riding and shooting, sparsely populated outside the city, most suitable for cavalry charges, as long as a few back and forth, you can break through the Liang army formation, and then cooperate with the infantry army, so you can. ”

Bai Li Jin said: "The words are good, but although the general regards Zhu Wang as a waste material, the horse rejection array created by this person is quite good, and Liang Gou does not know how many soldiers and horses our army has to defend the city, knowing that the army is inferior, and Zhu Wang is by no means the opponent of the general, where does Feng Jingquan's confidence come from?" This man is a fool, but he is not a fool. ”

Jiang Daohua frowned and asked, "What does the general mean, I'm afraid there will be reinforcements?" ”

Baili Jin sighed with a little regret: "It's a pity that Mr. Guo is dead, and no one in the Great Yan Kingdom can have the means to obtain detailed information, so my 100,000 army will become half blind, unable to anticipate the enemy's opportunity, and can only see the move." ”

Jiang Daohua patted the fence fiercely and said angrily: "It's all to blame for Guo Yuan, not to mention running away in a negative mood, but even to provoke Feng Jingquan, so that we will fight again!" ”

Baili Jin said in a deep voice: "Presumptuous, don't be disrespectful to Mr." What's wrong with the war? Since you chose to join the army, are you still afraid of war? If that's the case, it's better to unload your armor and return to the field as soon as possible, and I will never leave you! ”

Jiang Daohua knew that he was speechless, and smiled.

Listening to Bai Li Jin continue: "Your method was good before, but you ignored one thing. If a large number of cavalry charges are invested at the beginning, it will only increase the speed of the death of the two armies, compared to the Liang State with a rich family, my Dayan can not afford this kind of loss, even if it can be done one for two or even one for three, the price paid is definitely not you and I can bear, but we can avoid without fighting, let alone my Dayan's iron-blooded demeanor. Jiang Daohua listens to orders! ”

The latter clenched his fists and said: "The end will be!" ”

"Ben will order you to personally lead 5,000 elite horsemen, and go out of the city to attack at night when the ugly time tonight, remember, no matter what the result is, don't be greedy for merit, and return to the city immediately after a round of killing!"

"The last general obeys!"

In the tent of Liang Guojun, Zhu Wang stood in front of a huge sand table and continued to deduce, but in any case, the chances of winning this battle were slim, and when he was at a loss, a sharp voice came from outside the tent: "The holy decree has arrived!" The Marquis of Zhongyong stepped forward to listen to the announcement. Zhu Wang seemed to grasp the life-saving straw and walked out of the tent to greet him.

I saw a white middle-aged eunuch holding a holy decree in his hand, and Zhu Wang knelt on the ground: "Weichen Zhu Wang listens to the announcement." The middle-aged eunuch seemed to have been secretly instructed, helped Zhu Wang up, and said softly: "Master Hou is exempt, please go back to the tent to talk about it, in case the partition wall has ears." ”

The two returned to the tent, the eunuch glanced at the sand table, pulled the corners of his mouth quietly, and said straight to the point: "Hou Ye worked hard, the slave came this time, just to pass a word for His Majesty, His Majesty has a will, and ordered Hou Ye to break through the gate of the Hundred Divisions City within ten days at all costs, and now King Qing is still in the fiefdom of Qingzhou, and Ye Houye also needs to guard the south, His Majesty has ordered General Wei Qing to lead 120,000 troops to aid Hou Ye, please let Hou Ye go, be sure to break through the Hundred Divisions City within the agreed time, and make a good start for General Wei's army." ”

Zhu Wang hesitated: "But Baili Jin is a famous general in the world, how can Ben Hou break through the Hundred Divisions City guarded by him within ten days?" Could it be that you really want to exchange your life for your life regardless of the battle damage! ”

The eunuch said coldly: "The slave is just a messenger, and he doesn't know anything about arranging troops and arranging troops, marching and fighting, but when the slave was leaving, His Majesty specially explained that the Hou Ye himself must live well, and after the capture of Yan Kingdom, there will be a heavy reward!" ”

Zhu Wang thought to himself, now that I am a prince, and if I have a heavy reward, will it be possible to be crowned a king with a different surname like Li Jian? As soon as he thought of this, Zhu Wang gritted his teeth, clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "Please ask your father-in-law to tell Your Majesty after returning to the court, Zhu Wang will not fail in his mission and capture the Hundred Divisions City within ten days!" ”
