Liang Zheng was still confused and couldn't extricate himself.

He was hit hard this time.

The 80,000 soldiers in Mangshan were all carefully selected by him. After a long period of training, they could serve as a vanguard force and represent the Jin Kingdom in the south and north.

But in less than a day's effort, the entire army was wiped out. That was all his years of hard work!

Those who died were all compatriots of the Jin State!

Ge Hong continued: "If I were Zhao Changqing, I would not rush to send troops when I came from afar. This requires a delicate control of human nature to be able to accomplish this with confidence.

I guessed that Zhao Changqing must have understood my steady and steady nature. After thinking from his perspective, I concluded that I would not think that he could send troops rashly, so he decided to send a large army to rescue Zhao Yun.

It's just that what I can't figure out is that Zhao Yun is surrounded by water. How did he reach an agreement with Zhao Yun to break through at noon today?

If there is no consensus, then is this all too coincidental? This matter was not mentioned in the secret reports of the Wei army scouts that were intercepted before! How strange.

However, to put it bluntly, this Zhao Changqing cannot be judged by common sense. Moreover, he annihilated our army so ruthlessly without leaving a single prisoner. I guess that he

It's intentional to anger us.

However, I just let him have his way! I would like to meet him personally to see if there is anything surprising about this King of Wei and Qi."

After hearing Ge Hong's words, Liang Zheng recovered from his grief and anger and said: "Marshal, please give the last general 50,000 troops. The last general will go to Qingzhou border to call for formation and meet that Zhao Changqing!"

Ge Hong glanced at him and said calmly: "This matter is not urgent. You have just encountered a setback and need to calm down and rest for a few days. I estimate that Zhao Changqing is eager for us to call for formation at this time.

So I'll forgive him for a few days, just in time to wait for the army from the rear to arrive. After all, after investigation, we found that there are 400,000 troops in Qingzhou."

Liang Zheng was stunned and felt something bad happened.

The fact was just as he thought. After knowing that Mangshan was defeated, Ge Hong decided not to reuse Liang Zheng.

The 80,000 troops were completely wiped out when they were said to be wiped out. This shows how unorganized and unorganized this army is on weekdays.

As long as one can master some military formation techniques, all 80,000 troops will not be wiped out.

However, from this incident, Ge Hong understood one fact, that is, the combat power of Wei State's Qingzhou Army was very high.

"Everyone, victory or defeat is a common matter for military officers. Although we lost 80,000 horses in the battle of Mangshan, Zhao Changqing's loss was not small.

Everyone must not forget that Zhao Yun's 50,000 fine armored cavalry were almost completely damaged, and the troops we arranged in Mangshan were mostly infantry.

Thinking about it this way, we are actually not at a loss. Next, please keep your spirits up. The war between us and Wei has just begun.

His Majesty the Emperor wants me to just stay here patiently and keep an eye on the movements of the Wei army. However, I know that you are not willing to let the Chu army occupy this great achievement.

So please believe in me, I will definitely lead you to earn enough military merits and build a great cause!"

Although Ge Hong was a Confucian general, he had great ambitions. As a serious member of a Jin family, he had to make some achievements.

As for the death of the 80,000 Mangshan pioneers, he was ready to use some excuse to cover it up. After all, in his heart, these 80,000 people were like a pile of leeks. In the face of the great interests, they would appear to be insignificant.

none.

He is colder-blooded than Zhao Changqing.

Here in the border town of Qingzhou, the army involved in the Battle of Mangshan has gone down to rest.

Before that, Zhao Changqing also asked Zhao Yun to command all the cavalry in Qingzhou, totaling 130,000 horses, in front of all the soldiers.

The most indispensable thing in the land of Qingzhou is horses, which can be called the natural horse breeding farm of the Wei State. If it weren't for the fact that it takes a lot of money and energy to train a cavalry, sometimes Zhao Changqing really wants to create a million cavalry, sweep across the entire Wei State, and finally ascend the throne.

emperor.

After Zhao Yun heard this order, he couldn't believe it. Instead of being punished, he was rewarded. The prince treated me so well, and I will have to repay him with all my heart in the future!

After the Battle of Mangshan, there was no movement between Wei and Jin for two or three days.

Zhao Changqing was still wondering, was the Jin army planning to swallow its anger?

Qijun, Qingzhou.

Princess Mi Yue of Chu State disguised herself as a man and was strolling in the market with her personal maid Xiaolan. When she came to a teahouse due to thirst, she heard about Zhao Changqing's great power at the border.

"His Royal Highness, King Qi, fought with one sword and was in a deserted place among the enemy troops in Mang Mountain. After a fierce fight, he finally rescued General Zhao Yun..."

Hearing the rumors that people spread rumors, Mi Yue suddenly felt a pain in her heart, as if she felt that something bad had happened and could not calm down.

How dangerous it is for him to rush towards the enemy line alone!

Will he be okay?

Mi Yue began to think wildly. When she cared about someone very much, her IQ was negative.

Because she was worried about Zhao Changqing's safety, she planned to go to Zhuge Liang to ask for details so that she could make up her mind.

On the way back, she often heard passers-by on the roadside talking about His Highness King Qi's incredible martial arts. The more people praised him, the more she couldn't let go of it.

When she arrived at Zhuge Liang's residence, she saw several soldiers packing his luggage. After announcing her identity, she saw Zhuge Liang and saw that he was busy, so she asked:

"Sir, what is this?"

Zhuge Liang put down what he was doing and said, "The money and food that the prince needs for his expedition have basically been prepared. Liang has nothing to do if he stays in Qi County, so he plans to rush to the border today to help the prince."

Mi Yue asked again: "Why are you so anxious to leave? But what happened to the prince?"

Zhuge Liang shook his head at first. Seeing Mi Yue's anxious look, he couldn't bear to deceive him and sighed: "The prince has just arrived at the border town and the army has not yet rested in time, so he made a dangerous move and couldn't wait to lead the army to attack Mangshan and rescue Zhao Yun."

General.

Although this battle was a great victory and the enemy was completely wiped out, the prince revealed two fatal flaws in the battle. One was that he loved to take risks and marched hastily to attack Mangshan regardless of the fatigue of the soldiers. If Mangshan had asked for help at that time, the prince would have

You will suffer a big loss.

Secondly, he loves to lead the troops. As a prince and the supreme commander of the three armies, he should sit in the rear, but the prince prefers to take the lead in every battle.

Although the prince is very brave, the sword has no eyes after all. If something goes wrong, what should the three soldiers do? If I were the enemy and sent several generals to set up an ambush to lure the prince, his life would be at risk.

ah!

These two major shortcomings are enough to make the prince's mistake lead to eternal hatred. Therefore, Liang must rush to the border town as soon as possible, otherwise, if something goes wrong with the prince, it will not only be Qingzhou, but the entire Wei Kingdom that will suffer!"

Mi Yue was startled when she heard Zhuge Liang's remarks.

She bit her lip and frowned, as if she was thinking about something. When she was done thinking about it, she said, "Sir, can I go with you?"

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "If you go, the prince will only be distracted, which will not be conducive to the war situation. What's more, the princess's identity is different. If it is spread, it will have an impact on the prince."

Mi Yue knew this was the result. She took a deep breath, her heart was beating rapidly. She was really worried about Zhao Changqing's safety.

It's really not easy for this man.

This life is too difficult.

When I was young, I not only had to hide my humiliation from myself so that I would not have to worry about my life.

Now, we still have to sacrifice our lives for the country and the people.

It is really not easy for a man like him to have such an experience, but still maintain an ancient heart of loving the people like his own son.

She bowed to Zhuge Liang and said sternly: "Mr. Mi Yueqiu must protect the safety of the prince. At this moment, not only the people of Qingzhou and the country of Wei cannot do without him, but even Mi Yue...cannot lose him."

."

After Zhao Changqing left, she began to worry about gains and losses. She often thought about what happened that night. According to others, this feeling was actually a kind of love.

Even now, Mi Yue is not sure whether she likes him or not. Logically speaking, since this man bullies her so much and treats her so badly, she should hate him.

But she couldn't hate him when she thought of his heroic demeanor when he stood up for his country and his people or fantasized about his heroic appearance when he fought bloody battles to protect the safety of the country.

In fact, whether it is like or love, or neither or both, it is not important in this era, what is important is the feeling.
