Chongcheng, knowing that the imperial court sent Hong Jin to crusade, Cui Ying recruited generals to discuss matters in the mansion. When everyone arrived, he took the lead in speaking: "Ladies and gentlemen, last time we defeated the Jizhou military horses, but unfortunately we failed to capture Su Hu, which attracted the imperial army to crusade. ”

Su Hu is the ruler of the dynasty, and his identity is extraordinary, Cui Ying had long expected that the imperial army would come, so he was not surprised at all. After all, putting aside Su Hu, what he and others did in Northern Xinjiang was tantamount to rebellion, and the imperial court would not sit idly by.

Ma Shan said calmly: "The soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth." No matter whose soldiers and horses it is, they will take him to the nest. Since joining Deng Jiugong's command, he has won every battle, and Ma Shan has also played a strong self-confidence.

Zheng Lun said in a deep voice: "I'm just afraid that Su Hu's person is not good." ”

Su Hu is by no means a mediocre talent, he suffered such a big loss last time, how will he take it as a warning this time, I am afraid that there are strange people in this army.

Ma Shan disagreed: "What if the comer is not good, he let him run away last time, and this time he will definitely cut off his head on the battlefield to deter those princes who have different intentions for us." ”

As soon as Su Hu was defeated, no one in the north dared to oppose Chongcheng, and those princes saw the wind one by one, and went to Chongcheng to send congratulatory gifts, and were willing to worship Yingluan again as the head of the princes of Beizhen.

Zheng Lun glanced at Ma Shan and said, "General Guanma's tone doesn't seem to take the imperial army into account. ”

Ma Shan said: "Yes, our side is full of talents, and there are generals like Master Cui who know how to fight and command, and how can they all be in the imperial army." Jiang Ziya is just an old man, with a few generals, he can repeatedly defeat the imperial army, are we not as good as him Jiang Ziya. ”

Zheng Lun was silent, he was calm and measured, cautious in his use of troops, not as high-spirited as Ma Shan, and he despised the enemy tactically, as if waving his hand, and the strong enemy was wiped out.

Cui Ying said with a smile: "General Ma's self-confidence is a good thing, but as the saying goes: only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one not be defeated in a hundred battles." In any case, let's see how capable the people are first, and then make arrangements!"

Ma Shan said with a dry smile: "What Master Cui said is true. ”

Fa Jie smiled slightly on the side, Deng Jiugong knew people with a good eye, and when he handed over Chongcheng to Cui Ying to take care of it, he had the intention of temptation. But I didn't expect that this person did have real talent and real learning, and he only had a few months, and he had destroyed the two major princes one after another, and looked at the Central Plains according to the northern frontier, and became angry and swallowed the world.

Hehe, the exposition took all his heart, Jiang Ziya tried his best, and spilled blood for the sake of Xingzhou, if the world was finally obtained by Deng Jiugong, I don't know how they would feel, and it is estimated that they will vomit blood in anger.

"Generals, the imperial army is menacing, please follow Cui out of the city and intercept the enemy thirty miles away from the city. ”

The generals were shocked, and arched their hands: "The last general listens to the order." ”

There is a battle, which means that you can get military merits, you can be promoted to a knighthood, and all the generals are excited.

......

The army has already stepped into the territory of Chongcheng, and there is no soldiers and horses in Chongcheng, Hong Jin frowned, and said to Su Hu on the side: "Su Hou, this Chongying Luan is so calm, I heard that my army is coming, but there is no movement, this person is a little bold." ”

Su Hu said: "This person has always been arrogant, last time I led a large army to fight against thieves, and the soldiers came to the city, and the other side sent people to fight." ”

Hong Jin smiled: "It's better this way, we'll finish the battle!"

Su Hu said with a smile: "With General Hong's troops, he will definitely be able to succeed." When Chongcheng is taken, Ben Hou will personally put on a banquet to celebrate your achievements!" "It is estimated that half of the 300,000 horses brought by Jizhou have surrendered to Chongyingluan, as long as Chongcheng is attacked, these people will not be able to vote for the wind, and at that time, it will not be easy to control Chongcheng with these people."

Su Hu has his plan, this expedition, the imperial court is under the banner of regaining Jizhou for himself, this Chongcheng is a big city in northern Xinjiang, rich and famous, but can not let the imperial court get cheap. For Chongcheng, Su Hu is inevitable.

Hong Jin said: "Then I will thank Su Hou first." ”

Su Hu was silent, and Chongying Luan's generals beheaded his son, and after the city was broken, he killed his whole family to vent his hatred.

Ji Kang was defeated by Long Anji before, and he has been haunted by it, but when he saw Chongcheng coming soon, he couldn't bear it anymore, strode forward, and said to Hong Jin: "Marshal, although the last general's skills are not as good as others, and he lost to Long Anji, the last general still hopes to take the lead and serve the country." ”

Hong Jin said with a smile: "This is natural, Ben Shuai is full of words, and arranges you to be the first officer, you are the first officer, and no one can snatch it away!" Ji Kang is his confidant, how can he alienate him because of this little thing.

Ji Kang breathed a sigh of relief and arched his hand: "The last general thanked the marshal." ”

Ji Kang glanced at Long Anji, with some smugness in his eyes. Long Anji shook his head, this Ji Kang's skills are average, but he knows some illusions, and he can deal with ordinary generals, but he is afraid that he can't deal with strange people, and he will lose Hong Jin's face when the time comes. Or, wait for him to lose the first battle, and then go out again, so as to show his own means.

Yu De followed Su Hu's side, and he didn't say anything along the way, although Hong Jin took the initiative to chat with him and touch his bottom again, but he was lukewarmly rebuffed. The marshal of one side, the number one battle under his command will be taken by Long Anji in one round, which shows that this person's ability is not very good, and such a person is not good to make friends.

At this moment, the wind and dust rolled in front of him, and the earth shook, which was the sound of horses' hooves hitting the ground. Then a red flag fluttered in the wind, followed by a surging crowd, looking far away, stretching for miles.

Guanjing Banner momentum, only afraid of no less than 100,000, when the Chongjun arrived, Hong Jin's face became solemn, the enemy army was in strict shape, like a mountain, stronger than his own side.

This Chongyingluan is just a yellow-mouthed child, and he can actually train such an elite soldier, this person can defeat Su Hu, not to be underestimated.

The two sides lined up in formation, looking at each other from a distance of 100 meters, and a tense atmosphere quietly spread, and war was about to break out. At this moment, the war horses stopped roaring, and the flags stopped fluttering, as if they were waiting for the orders of the commanders of both sides.

It was the imperial army that came, and it was impossible to lose the politeness on the surface, otherwise it would really confirm the reputation of rebellion, which would be detrimental to the development of Chongcheng. Cui Ying urged him to step forward, looked at the enemy formation a few times, and said to himself: "Xiaguan Cui Ying has seen Marshal Hong. "The morale of this army is strong, and it is much stronger than the Jizhou army, which is Cui Ying's first feeling.

Hong Jin snorted, slapped his horse forward, and scolded: "Cui Ying, you are guilty!"

Cui Ying said: "The lower officials don't know where the crime is. ”

Hong Jinyi said rightly: "Good you Cui Ying, you are clever in front of Ben Shuai." Your master Chongyingluan tore up the agreement between the princes without authorization, invaded the territory of the princes, disrespected the ruler of the dynasty, and sent troops to occupy Jizhou, which was disloyal and unjust, and it was a great rebellion. The marshal came to the conquest on the order of the king, but he did not quickly unload his armor and surrender, otherwise the rubble would not be left due to the front of the army. ”

Cui Ying said with a smile: "Haha, it seems that the court is incompetent, and if you only listen to one side of the word, you will condemn my marquis to be a rebel and raise a teacher to crusade." My marquis guards the northern frontier, has the merit of guarding the community, and now the court is indiscriminate, wiping out the past credits, this move is not only my princes, but also the princes of the world. According to what the ministers saw, Marshal Hong did not guard against retreating from the army, and the princes of my family would send someone to Chaoge to explain the internal matter to the Son of Heaven. ”

"What a thief, he actually spoke a contradictory word!"

Hong Jin gritted his teeth and retreated to the Chinese army, preparing for war.
