In Wei Zheng's view, Ming Xiaotian was too conceited, and the current Feng Army was no longer what it used to be. Against him, there would be no carelessness. Let Ming Xiaotian lead the army, and he would probably suffer a big loss. But Ming Xiao
Tian had already said this, and Wei Zheng could not say anything more. He bowed his hands to Ming Xiaotian and said: "Ming Gong likes to take care of himself. When doing things, the overall situation is the most important thing, and the lives of our soldiers are the most important thing!"
Ming Xiaotian hated hearing Wei Zheng's teaching words. He used to be the commander-in-chief, so he could only endure it. Now that Wei Zheng was dismissed and Ming Xiaotian became the commander-in-chief of the entire army, how could he want to listen to Wei Zheng's wordy words?
.This time Ming Xiaotian didn't even bother to reply. He walked on his back and sat behind the handsome desk. He sat down carelessly and turned his head away, not even looking at Wei Zheng.
Wei Zheng was ordered by Yan Chu to return to Ningdu, and the news soon spread to Feng Jun. Hearing this, Tang Yin was overjoyed. The scheming Wei Zheng was finally transferred away, allowing Ming Xiaotian to lead the army? This was ridiculous. At first
When the Sanshui Army made a sneak attack on Tongmen, Ning State sent Ming Xiaotian to attack. As a result, this person only knew how to attack violently and did not even know how to use any strategy. As a result, the Ning Army was in trouble in attacking the city and suffered countless losses. Now it is up to him.
Coming to command the 400,000 Ning army, in Tang Yin's view, it was simply a sign of God helping him to achieve great things.
Tang Yin's excitement was beyond words, and the generals below were also very happy. Liang Qi said with a smile: "Ming Xiaotian was promoted to general because of his powerful family background. In fact, he has no real talent and learning. Ning Jun will be promoted to general by him."
Commander, our army will win!"
Zhan Hu stood up, raised his hands to Tang Yin and said, "Your Majesty, our army will issue a letter of challenge to Ning's army now!"
Tang Yin waved his hand and said with a smile: "No rush! Wei Zheng is leaving, but he must have told Ming Xiaotian not to go into battle easily before leaving. We must find a way to lure Ming Xiaotian out to fight!"
"The king means..."
Tang Yin rolled his eyes and said: "Tomorrow, we will first reduce the number of guards in our camp. Two days later, our army will set up camp and retreat twenty miles."
"What?" Upon hearing this, everyone was a little dumbfounded. Wei Zheng, who had caused the most headache to his side, was finally transferred back to the capital, but why did the king still order the troops to retreat? Seeing that all the generals were confused, Tang Yin smiled confidently.
Hehe said: "If you don't do this, how can Ning Jun take the bait?"
Ming Xiaotian's ability was far inferior to that of Wei Zheng, but he was also present during the decisive battle between Feng and Ning's armies, and he had a clear view of the battle situation. Although his side won in the end and Feng's army retreated, his side was fighting with more and less.
Under such circumstances, the losses were even greater than those of the Feng Army, which showed that the Feng Army's combat effectiveness was far beyond our own.
After he took over the position of coach, he also followed Wei Zheng's example and strictly ordered all the soldiers in the army not to go to war privately. However, on the second day after Wei Zheng was transferred, Ning Army spies reported that the number of guards in the Feng Army camp suddenly decreased, and the number of soldiers and horses in the camp was loud and clear.
It's also much smaller than before, I don't know why.
After hearing this, Ming Xiaotian secretly frowned and ordered the spies to investigate again and report again. The next day, the spies reported that the number of guards in the Feng Army camp was reduced again, and the sound of military training in the camp was even weaker. On the third day, Feng Jun
There were almost no guards left in the camp. The sound of training in the camp completely disappeared, leaving only the chaotic sound of cleaning up the camp.
Judging from his posture, Feng Jun looked like he was about to set up camp. The spy immediately informed Ming Xiaotian of the situation. After hearing this, the latter couldn't believe his ears. Feng Jun was about to set up camp?
With their own army blocking the front, it is impossible for them to advance westward, so there is only one possibility left, that is, the Feng army is about to retreat?!
Wei Zheng and Feng Jun had been in confrontation for so long, but Feng Jun had not retreated. Just a few days after Wei Zheng left, Feng Jun was about to retreat. God must have been so lucky to him, and he actually dropped this miraculous feat of retreating Feng Jun on his own head.
Above. Ming Xiaotian is happy, and General Ning in the camp is even more excited. This war is finally coming to an end, and the invading Feng army is finally leaving.
At this time, the impulsive General Ning immediately stood up, raised his hands and said: "General, the retreat of the Feng Army is a good time for our army to take the initiative to attack. General, you must not miss this opportunity!"
That's right! Ming Xiaotian's eyes lit up at first, but after thinking about it, he shook his head again and murmured: "The Feng Army is cunning, we have to guard against it! Our army will wait and see what happens, and see if the Feng Army really retreats.
Or fake withdrawal!"
"Yes! General!"
Early the next morning, while Ming Xiaotian was still sleeping soundly, he heard someone outside shouting repeatedly: "The Feng Army has withdrawn! The Feng Army has withdrawn!" Hearing the shouts, Ming Xiaotian seemed to have been electrocuted, and a wheel came from him.
Getting up from the bed, he didn't even bother to put on his shoes. He strode to the door of the camp and asked the guards outside: "What are everyone shouting?"
"Back to General, happy news, great happy news! The Feng Army has retreated! The Feng Army's camp has been evacuated!"
"Ah?" Ming Xiaotian took a breath and stood there stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses and asked urgently: "This... when did this happen? When did the Feng Army retreat?"
The guards all said at once: "That's the news we just got!"
Before Ming Xiaotian could continue to ask questions, spies from the Ning Army galloped over on horseback. When they arrived in front of Ming Xiaotian's camp, they got off their horses, rolled and crawled towards Ming Xiaotian, and screamed: "
General, the Feng army has set up camp and retreated, and has retreated several miles!"
"Can you see clearly?"
"This little man has seen it with his own eyes, and it is absolutely true!"
"Haha! God helps me! God helps me!" Ming Xiaotian finally believed that this was true. He jumped up high with excitement, waved to the guards on the left and right, and said: "Hurry! Go and summon the generals, follow.
I'm going to take a look at Feng Jun's camp!" After saying that, he took the lead and walked towards the central army tent.
"General, general, you haven't put on your shoes and clothes yet!" The guards hurried forward and stopped Ming Xiaotian, who was extremely excited. Ming Xiaotian looked down, patted his head hard, turned around and walked back
Inside the tent, with the help of the guards, they put on their armor and then walked quickly towards the central military tent.
The Feng Army had indeed withdrawn, and the original Feng Army camp was now in ruins. Many inconvenient items were left behind, indicating that the Feng Army's retreat was hasty. Facts have proved that the Feng Army was not
Pretending to retreat, but actually retreating, many Feng generals began to suggest to Ming Xiaotian that they should hunt down the retreating Feng army.
But Ming Xiaotian still didn't agree. He couldn't understand why Feng Jun wanted to retreat when everything was fine. If there hadn't been a big change in the army, Feng Jun wouldn't have given up so easily. But what happened in Feng Jun?
In the Feng Army camp, Ming Xiaotian was accompanied by the generals. He walked slowly and looked around, hoping to find some clues to the Feng Army's retreat.
After walking for a while, Ming Xiaotian suddenly frowned, turned around and asked the generals behind him: "Why is there a strange smell in Feng Camp?"
At this time, all Ning generals also smelled it. People nodded and responded: "It has a strange smell, it seems... it's the smell of medicine?!"
Ming Xiaotian didn't ask any more questions and continued to move forward. Not far away, he saw a jar for decoction on the ground. Ming Xiaotian hurriedly walked forward, squatted down, and lifted the jar without putting it to his nose.
, the strong and pungent smell of medicine hit his back. He tilted his head, covered his nose with his sleeves, and asked, "Who knows what kind of medicine Feng Jun boiled?"
The Ning soldiers only knew how to lead troops in battles, so how could they know about medicine? Seeing that all the generals shook their heads to express ignorance, Ming Xiaotian shouted: "Call the military doctor over!"
After a short time, several military doctors from Ning's army were brought over by the guards. Ming Xiaotian handed the medicine jar to the military doctors and said, "Come and identify what kind of medicine is boiled here and what it is used for."
Several military doctors hurriedly took over the medicine jar, removed some of the remaining medicine residue, and carefully inspected and smelled it. After a long while, a military doctor raised his head and said: "General, Feng Jun boiled these medicines."
It contains Chuanxiong, Astragalus, Codonopsis, Licorice and other medicines."
"Oh?" Ming Xiaotian perked up, stepped forward, and asked, "What do these medicines treat?"
The military doctor looked at several other colleagues, and then said with certainty: "It's for treating malaria."
Curing malaria?! Ming Xiaotian frowned and fell into deep thought.
At this time, the general in charge of the Ning Army's spies suddenly remembered something and said urgently to Ming Xiaotian: "General, we will receive a lot of news in the past few days. The number of sneak attacks by the Feng Army on our country's villages and towns has been reduced a lot, but every time they attack, there will be
Crazy looting of medicines in villages and towns, especially those mentioned by the military doctor just now."
As soon as he finished speaking, several Ning soldiers ran over quickly. When Ming Xiaotian approached, they said breathlessly: "General, we found many medicine jars and medicine residues left by the Feng Army ahead!"
"Oh? Take me to see it quickly!" Ming Xiaotian's eyes widened and he asked Sergeant Ning to lead the way, and he quickly followed.
Walking forward for a while, sure enough, there were dozens of medicine jars placed in an open space full of debris, and the ground was full of black medicine residue. Ming Xiaotian rolled his eyes and suddenly realized, no wonder Feng Jun suddenly
During the retreat, it turned out that malaria was spreading among the Feng Army. There were only so many medicine jars left, and there were probably more medicine jars taken away. It seemed that there were not a few soldiers in the Feng Army suffering from malaria.
At this time, the military doctors also came over, looked at the medicine residue on the ground, and nodded. The military doctor who just spoke said seriously: "General, Hedong is humid, while Fengguo is dry. Hedong is extremely hot, while Fengguo is.
The cold weather must be because the Feng people first came to Hedong and were not accustomed to the weather here, and did not pay attention to the measures to prevent mosquitoes, which led to the rampant malaria. It seems that the Feng army's retreat was also related to this!"
"Haha——" Ming Xiaotian looked up to the sky and laughed. Malaria was a disease that could not be serious or mild according to the medical skills at that time. There were ways to treat it, but the recovery process was very slow and long. If you suffer from malaria, let alone
In a war, people may not even be able to stand firm. Now that there is a large-scale malaria outbreak in the Feng army, isn't this a good opportunity for our side to pursue us?
If we don't fight now, how can we wait? Ming Xiaotian was completely energetic now, his eyes were shining, and he even began to imagine the sensational scene when he defeated the Feng army and led his troops back to Liangzhou, where the people lined the streets to welcome him.
