Early the next morning, when everyone was getting ready, Qin Yi suddenly sent an order and asked Feng Yu to go to his camp.
"Ze'er, do you know why the king asked you to come here?"
"Presumably the second grandpa has some countermeasures and needs his grandson to take action."
"Well, yes, their goal is either Gongcheng or Jicheng. It's up to us to decide. However, they are all my territory of the Tang Kingdom, and I don't want to lose any of them, so I want to take a gamble. I
Orders have been sent throughout the night, and Jicheng's army is rushing to support Gongcheng, so our army can't delay."
Feng Yu was puzzled: "But, if this happens, doesn't it mean giving up Jicheng?"
"Haha, their method is nothing more than to use the Xia Kingdom to attack quickly and capture Jicheng before I can react. Therefore, I also plan to send out a cavalry to avoid their sight and try to stop the Xia Kingdom's cavalry. This
It is a test of courage and determination.”
"Second Grandpa, do you want me to accompany you?"
"That's right, you are going together, but you are not accompanying us. You are the leading general. With the title of King Huai leading the army, even if the number of people is not enough, what you brought at the last palace banquet can greatly boost morale and may not be invincible. Xia
If the country is disturbing Jicheng this time, it will definitely not use it and does not have the strength to use a large number of troops. The battle in Jicheng will depend on the beliefs of the enemy and us. "
Feng Yu frowned and said, "My grandson is willing to go, but after all, it is his first time on the battlefield. He doesn't understand the situation and the battle formation, so he really doesn't dare to take on this important task."
Qin Yi patted his shoulder, "I know what you are worried about. This is your first battle. If you lose, it will be difficult to achieve anything in the future. But because of this, you are the best candidate. You
You will have more faith than ordinary people. I have sent General Fang Hang to go with you. You don’t need to be nervous. As the saying goes, the brave will win when we meet on a narrow road. You will be timid even before you fight!"
Feng Yu also knew the importance of this trip and the purpose of his trip, so he had the courage not to refuse.
Shouting loudly: "The last general takes orders!"
Half a day passed. Somehow, Qin Yi issued an order, and all the troops accelerated their march. Some heavy weapons and tools followed the army, and the troops in front rushed to Gongcheng to support them.
Under the tent of the Xia-Jin coalition forces that was not too far away, Xian Yuhuan, who was wearing a navy blue uniform, was listening to the report of a soldier and spy kneeling in front of him.
"Hahaha, it seems that this side by side king really has two brushes. It seems that he gave up Pingyi City and went directly to Gongcheng. He actually guessed my commander's intention. It's a pity that he never thought of me Jin Guoguo.
In making this act of great love that sacrifices oneself for others, one only knows one thing but not the other."
He turned around and looked at the military advisor beside him, and waved his hand, "Military advisor, please inform Xia Guo according to the previously discussed plan. I have already packaged this big gift for him. Whether he can eat it depends on his own ability."
Oh, don’t let me down!"
"Yes, Marshal, my subordinates will do it right now." After saying that, he walked out without stopping.
Xian Yuhuan looked at the military advisor who opened the curtain and walked away. Suddenly his eyes narrowed. He stretched out his right hand and waved, and a black-clothed and masked subordinate came out of the darkness, "My subordinates see you, the commander-in-chief."
Xian Yuhuan changed his voice to a sinister and terrifying tone and whispered in his ear: "Please tell me, all the people on the border of Xia Kingdom are ready to go, just waiting for the snipe and the clam to fight. The commanders of Jicheng and Gongcheng will not let go."
Pass!"
"Yes, I will resign."
At the same time, Feng Yu and Fang Hang were leading thousands of cavalry horses galloping through the jungle, without wasting a single second. All the soldiers were high-spirited, holding long guns, and their expressions were as heavy as those of dead soldiers.
, but there was no dissatisfaction or fear at all. It was also the first time for Feng Yu to have so many people under his command, and he couldn't help but admire the second grandfather's way of leading the army.
"Drive~"
Feng Yu asked General Fang Hang while riding his horse: "General Fang, did the old prince say anything to you?"
Fang Hang knew Feng Yu's identity and did not have any contempt in his heart. "Reporting to Your Highness, the old prince told the general about the possible movements of the enemy. Knowing that Jicheng was very important and must not be lost, he asked the general to go with his highness. There was no
Talk about other specific matters.”
Feng Yu nodded and didn't say anything more, but he always felt that something was missing.
Everything developed as expected. Feng Yu's team of thousands of people changed their route around the mountain road and rushed to Jicheng. The entire Jicheng army also headed to Gongcheng along Tang Guoguan Road, leaving only a small part to guard Jicheng. This time
A small number of people would never have thought that this time it was clearly a large-scale invasion of Pingyi City by the coalition forces of the two countries, but the Jin State watched helplessly as Xia State monopolized the fruit of Jicheng, which was contrary to common sense. Because of this, Xia State's Flying Eagle
The army had quietly arrived at the city, but no one noticed and gave an alarm.
Feng Yu did not enter the city immediately, but stationed troops on the side, using the sky as a quilt and the earth as a bed. No one was allowed to light fires to cook or build tents.
General Fang Hang walked to Feng Yu and sat down, holding a pot of water, and asked what he was confused about: "Your Highness, why are we doing this? Are we afraid of being discovered by the enemy?"
Feng Yu took the water and took a big sip, "General Fang, all this is just speculation. We haven't seen any signs of sneak attacks in Xia State yet, have we? There is no news of enemy attacks in Jicheng, so it is still safe.
At this moment, we are preparing for battle with great fanfare. If there are no enemy troops, wouldn't it disturb the peace of the people of Jicheng? Besides, we are a single strange force, and we are exposed to the enemy's sight at this moment. Although they may have some considerations,
It will also bring risks to the old prince Gongcheng. Although Jicheng is still far away from Gongcheng and is not at the junction of the borders of the Three Kingdoms, if the Xia Kingdom really attacks, I'm afraid it will not be a normal emergency march. If they rush to the side of Gongcheng to sneak attack
, it’s very likely that we won’t even be able to get the news out.”
"Your Highness's words make sense, and I will finally understand."
Feng Yu looked at Fang Hang for a while and then asked: "General Fang, do you know why the Jin Kingdom sacrificed itself for others? According to my understanding, the two countries of Xia and Jin do not have a deep friendship."
Fang Hang also knew something about the spies deployed in the two countries, and answered directly: "Your Highness does not know. After the Jin Kingdom returned from the Laba Banquet last time after being humiliated, great changes occurred in the court. The prince did something unjust and deceived the emperor.
The stupid thing has been abolished, and now several princes are ready to make a move. I heard that this time it was also a plan made by the fifth prince in conjunction with the Xia Kingdom, hoping to gain the support of the Xia Kingdom."
"So it turns out that the fifth prince of Jin is really naive to put his own reliance in the hands of an enemy with whom he has no close friendship."
"Indeed, but it is indeed a threat to our country, the Tang State. The Jin State originally valued military affairs over literature and was proficient in the art of attacking cities and villages. Although the Xia State is weak, it has a wider land and a larger population than the Jin State.
It should not be underestimated. Although either side is no match for the garrison set up by my old prince, but if we join forces and the old prince’s reinforcements are not available, we may not be able to hold on for a few more days.”
After Feng Yu heard what Fang Hang said, he had more doubts in his heart.
"General Fang, I still have a question. I heard from the old prince that the commander-in-chief of the Jin-Xia coalition this time is a general named Xian Yuhuan from the Jin Kingdom?"
"Yes, this man is very brave, and he doesn't play according to common sense. He has many tricks. The old prince also appreciates his talents. He is a rare military commander!"
"Haha, if the old prince can praise you so much, I really want to meet him. By the way, is this person a member of the fifth prince of the Jin Kingdom? It seems that the fifth prince sent him out this time with the intention of winning."
"I don't know much about this general. I heard that Xian Yuhuan thinks very highly of himself and is quite arrogant. The fifth prince has invited him several times but has not welcomed him. It seems that he also wants to take sides early in this battle for the crown prince.
Ah. Since ancient times, accompanying a prince is like accompanying a tiger. If you are on the wrong side, I am afraid that there will be a bloody storm after the fifth prince ascends the throne, but I believe that the old prince will not let Xian Yuhuan go easily."
Feng Yu didn't ask any more questions, but he still couldn't figure it out. If the fifth prince invited him many times, he must have known about the deposed prince's bullying behavior. If he invited him sincerely, I'm afraid this would not be hidden from Xian Yuhuan. After all, the military
With great power in hand, it is impossible to impress someone without preparation. But why did Xian Yuhuan defect to the fifth prince just after the deposed prince came down? Is there any secret unknown in the process?
"Report~"
The sentry at the front came with news.
"explain!"
"Going back to Your Highness, we found traces of Xia's army thirty miles ahead. According to information, they are probably the Flying Eagle Army."
Fang Hang's eyes were heavy and he hurriedly explained: "You go down first. Your Highness, the Flying Eagle Army is one of the aces in the Xia Kingdom's army. It is famous for its speed. It can send troops dozens of miles in a short period of time and often defeats the enemy at a loss."
Feng Yu held the hilt of the sword, wearing rough white armor, and gently touched his nose with his right hand up and down to the tip of his nose, obviously thinking about something.
"General Fang, don't be anxious. Since we sent out the Flying Eagle Army, we thought it was necessary to make a surprise attack, and we didn't find the trace until thirty miles away. I'm afraid that like us, we want to win by surprise, but the number of people is not large, so don't be too panicked."
"Yes, Your Highness, the general is being reckless."
"I don't blame you. Although I have followed the old prince for many years, this is the first time I have gone to the battlefield alone. This time there are only a few thousand people, and the enemy is quite famous. It is understandable that General Fang is a little anxious."
Fang Hang's eyes panicked, and he immediately knelt down on one knee, "General, I never meant this, please forgive me, Your Highness!"
Feng Yu looked at him helplessly and helped him up with his own hands, "Get up and speak, don't kneel down all the time, I don't have so many rules here, not to mention what I said is the truth, I don't mean to blame you, don't be nervous, I'm sorry
