Zhang Yi chuckled. He had to remain polite on this occasion. His father was trying to hold on and could not bear the stimulation. Marshal Yang Ting was also considered an "old friend" of his father and wanted to give him some face.
He didn't want to argue with General Deng Yun, a reckless man, but just looked at him intently. The two looked at each other, launching a battle of wills.
The battlefield is a world of rough men, and Deng Yun is also a man like Zhang Fei. His military strength is on par with General Wang Zheng, ranking among the top three in Little China.
But Deng Yun was no match for General Liu Guangda, and a few days ago, Zhang Yigang killed Liu Guang in a duel.
Therefore, in terms of force, Zhang Yi is superior to Deng Yun. In terms of intelligence, Deng Yun is far behind. If he is not as good as Zhang Yi in both civil and military affairs, his willpower is naturally much weaker than Zhang Yi.
The two looked at each other for a minute, and Deng Yun felt uneasy, as if there were needles all over his body.
King Liu Kai, Princess Xiaoliu, Marshal Yang Ting and Chief of Staff Fu Xiang looked at the two of them silently. They were all very smart people and saw that Deng Yun was no match for Zhang Yi.
A look of disappointment flashed across Marshal Yang Ting's face. Each of Zhang Yi's brothers was brave enough to be worthy of ten thousand men, and one of the Mopan City warriors was equal to ten. Not only were they brave and good at fighting, but their resourcefulness was also first-rate. The victory of this battle was decided.
So he laughed awkwardly and said: "General Deng, when we meet old friends today, please don't let your friendship be ruined."
General Deng Yun turned to look at Marshal Yang Ting to divert his attention, but he could not hide his anger and dissatisfaction.
Chief of Staff Fu Xiang smiled dryly and said: "Your Majesty's son-in-law was well chosen. Zhang Yi and Zhang Fu got the guidance of Your Majesty to seize the mountain top and control the water source. It seems to be quite organized."
Princess Xiaoliu smiled and said, "Not only that, Zhang Shoufu also sent a thousand mountain athletes to go around the rear and cut off your grain and grass transportation lines."
Chief of Staff Fu Xiang and General Deng Yun looked at each other. This move was cruel, but they couldn't help but believe that the Mopan City warriors were best at mountain warfare, just like the Wolf Cavalry was good at plain warfare. It was obvious.
"Hahaha," Marshal Yang Ting raised his head and laughed, his smile was a little forced.
In terms of battlefield layout, Little China has fallen into a disadvantageous situation and has fallen into a passive situation. If it fights hard, it will suffer heavy losses. This commander, who is as shrewd as a monkey, said something grand.
"It seems that we believed the rumors. The King Dragon is in good health and went into battle in person. Yang is very pleased, as if he has returned to the past. In order to show his respect for the King, Yang decided to retreat hundreds of miles away and fight again tomorrow."
Want to run?
Zhang Yi really convinced Marshal Yang Ting. To be honest, Zhang Yi could severely damage Little China's army in the Black Mountain Plain. Their cavalry did not dare to take the lead easily, so they could only rely on the infantry phalanx to defend and cut off the supplies at the rear. In a few days, they were defeated
will collapse.
Retreating is not easy either. If the wolf cavalry pursues them all the way, they will lose their armor and leave their bodies hundreds of miles away. In the end, they can only escape back to Little China in despair.
Whether to fight or not depends on what the father says.
"Recalling those days, how magnificent the warriors were!" King Liu Kai exclaimed, "Brother Yang, you respect me a foot, and I respect you a foot. But if we retreat for hundreds of miles, I'm afraid my sons won't agree. If I want to retreat, you
Just go back to Zhuxi, and the two countries will be reconciled and join forces to fight against Greater China."
Yang Ting, Fu Xiang and Deng Yun looked at each other with complicated expressions. It felt uncomfortable to spit out the meat after eating it.
But if you don't retreat and force a war, you will definitely lose. The opponent is now very powerful, and Liu Kai and Zhang Yi, father and son, have joined forces to show their sharpness, far beyond what they were back then.
Not to mention Marshal Yang Ting and Chief of Staff Fu Xiang, even General Deng Yun could see this. Deng Yun was just talking tough, but in fact he supported the Marshal's withdrawal.
"Your Majesty, this is a good suggestion," Chief of Staff Fu Xiang said to Marshal Yang Ting. "It is difficult for us to break through Greater China's defense line from the front, but if we want to send troops from the Mopan City area, they will have to fight on two fronts, which will be difficult to resist."
Strategically speaking, this is indeed the case. Whether there is war or peace between the three countries, they are all considered based on the principle of maximizing interests. If Little China and Old China join forces, it seems to be the most beneficial at present, because the doctrine of Mopan City is now
We became one family with old China, and the original strategic pattern was completely broken.
"Yang knows what Brother Liu is like, and Brother Liu's proposal is quite good," Marshal Yang Ting laughed, "In this case, Yang agrees to return to Zhuxi, but please ask Brother Liu to give Yang a few days to ask for instructions.
President. Brother Liu is a generation of British masters. All major affairs of the country depend on Brother Liu’s words, but Yang has to listen to the president’s orders. Yang thinks that President Li will definitely agree with Brother Liu’s proposal!”
There is nothing wrong with this. Marshal Yang Ting obeys the command of President Li Haotang, but President Li Haotang has always relied on Marshal Yang Ting. If the marshal agrees with him, he will agree, but the procedure for requesting instructions still needs to be followed.
At this point, peace talks were reached.
They are all people who stick to their word and make a sound when they get down to business, never making fun of them.
Both sides laughed.
An imminent bloody battle was resolved just like that.
"Brother Yang, how about you come with me to a small gathering in Chang'an and have a drink together?" King Liu Kai smiled and extended the invitation, it was just a polite word.
"Brother Liu, I really want to go, but old China is so aggressive that we dare not be careless," Marshal Yang Ting said with clasped fists in thanks, "After I report to President Li, I will prepare a big gift to send to Chang'an to congratulate Princess Xiaoliu.
I am happily married to Zhang Shoufu, and the alliance and combat plan between the two countries are also attached, hahaha."
"Hahaha, okay, okay." King Liu Kai nodded and laughed.
Zhang Yi and Xiao Liu looked at each other and smiled.
The two parties exchanged some polite words and said goodbye to each other.
…
Zhang Yi and Xiao Liu accompanied their father back to our army's position, turned their horses and watched.
The other side blew the withdrawal horn, and the horse-drawn carriages, carrying the sick, wounded and dead, retreated southward along the mountain road, and the infantry and cavalry withdrew in an orderly manner.
King Liu Kai picked up his telescope and saw Marshal Yang Ting riding at the end and waved to him. King Liu Kai smiled and waved goodbye to his old rival.
Our troops stood silently and no one made any sound. It would be impolite to cheer for victory at this time.
An hour later, the plain was deserted, the grass was trampled into mud, leaving only car marks and horse hooves.
"Father?"
Princess Xiaoliu was always worried and turned to look at her father from time to time. At this time, she felt cold all over because her father kept sitting upright with a smile on his face. This made Xiaoliu feel panicked and uneasy.
The same goes for Zhang Yi. He had long advised his father to dismount and rest, but his father's attitude was very firm. He had to watch the other party's troops leave.
Because the other party is also looking at him to see his physical condition and performance.
Zhang Yi noticed the abnormality and felt extremely uneasy. His father had reached the end of his power.
Finally, we persisted until the enemy troops completely left and the sun set under the Western Mountains.
King Liu Kai vomited a mouthful of blood and fell from his horse...
