Tang Yin took the wine glass handed over by Yin Zhun, smiled lightly and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." As he spoke, he drank the wine in one gulp.
Yin Zhun pretended to hold Tang Yin's hand and sighed: "My dear, I really can't bear to have you leave!"
You can't wait for me to die early! Tang Yin sneered in his heart, put the wine glass back on the tray, then waved his hand to signal the maid to move away, then walked into Yin Zhun and whispered: "Your Majesty, if you want me to die, you only need to say one word.
However, if you secretly use some shady means to bring about the death of your minister, it would be too detrimental to your majesty’s noble status.”
This sentence made Yin Zhen's face turn pale with shock. He stared at the smiling Tang Yin in disbelief. He couldn't recover for a while. He always thought that Tang Yin didn't know about his secret instigation to rebel against the Western Army, but in fact
That's not the case at all. Tang Yin seems to have understood everything.
After a while, Yin Zhun provoked a shiver in Lingling and quickly explained: "Aiqing, you... you must have misunderstood, I... I have no intention of killing you..."
"Haha!" Tang Yin chuckled and said, "Your Majesty does not need to explain anything to me. I just said it casually and had no other intention."
As he spoke, he took a step back, opened the distance between the two of them, bowed his hands and saluted, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, minister, take leave!" After speaking, Tang Yin did not delay any longer, and regardless of Yin Zhun's reaction, he turned around and got on his horse.
, raised his hand and led the army away.
Tang Yin led the Western Border Army away, leaving Yin Zhun standing there with a shocked face. He didn't know how long it took, until a minister came up and called softly, and he suddenly woke up. He felt that his body was very cold, and he touched his hand back.
, the back was wet, and it turned out that the clothes on the back had been soaked with cold sweat for some time.
Let’s not mention how shocked and scared Yin Zhun was. Let’s talk about the Feng Army. Before Tang Yin’s command of the Western Border Army arrived at Ba Pass, the Pingyuan Army and the Sanshui Army stationed there had already left the pass and entered the territory of Mo State to intercept An.
The armies of Huan and Huan.
In terms of military strength, there is a huge gap between the two sides. The Sanshui Army has about 100,000 people, and the Pingyuan Army only has more than 70,000 people. Compared with the An Army and Huan Army, which each have 200,000 people, they are far behind. However, Xiao Muqing and
Liang Qidu had something to rely on.
In Liang Qi's view, the Huan army came from afar and it was certain that the entire army would be exhausted. Furthermore, the Huan army was not very powerful and there were no well-known generals in the army, so he used 100,000 to fight against 200,000.
Still very confident.
Xiao Muqing is more confident than Liang Qi. His opponent is An Jun. An Jun's military equipment can be said to be the most elite among the nine vassal states. However, An Jun has a fatal flaw: lack of combat experience.
There has been no war in Anguo for many years. The soldiers in the army have never participated in large-scale wars at all, and they have neglected training in peacetime. As a result, Anjun has a superficial plan but an empty stomach. Such an army goes to the battlefield. In Xiao Muqing's opinion, it is
Two hundred thousand are just moving targets.
The Pingyuan Army and the Sanshui Army were divided into two groups. Since the route taken by the An Army was relatively far from Baguan, the Pingyuan Army took the lead in contacting the An Army.
Upon learning that a wind army of less than 100,000 men was coming towards us, the commander-in-chief of the An army, Li De, immediately issued an order for the entire army to stop advancing and form formations on the spot, ready to fight.
Li De is not old, not yet thirty, but he is already the lieutenant general of Anguo. It is not because of how powerful his spiritual martial arts is, nor how good he is at leading troops in war, but because of his father's relationship.
His father, Li Zhen, was a marquis and the left prime minister of Anguo. Li De had the title of viscount before he joined the army. After joining the army, he was promoted to earl without making any achievements and was given the title of General Huwei.
This is the biggest disadvantage of centralization. If one person gets it, he or she will ascend to heaven. Even if he is just a straw bag, he can still enjoy the glory and wealth.
In Li Zhen's view, during this expedition to Feng State, An Guo was just playing the drums and going through the motions. There would be no tough battles to fight. Out of this mentality, he decided to send his son to lead the army in person.
Just follow the Sichuan and Zhen armies to pick out the gaps. After returning, Li De can also take advantage of the opportunity to be promoted to general, and he will have the opportunity to compete for the throne of general in the future.
His calculation was very good, but Sichuan and Zhen were not stupid, so how could they let An and Huan follow behind him to gain benefits in vain? The two countries had a tacit understanding of the slow march, just to let An and Huan take the lead.
.
He couldn't count on the Sichuan and Zhen Second Army, so he asked Li De to attack Ba Pass first and meet the Feng Army's edge. He wouldn't do such a stupid thing. Hearing that Huan Army changed its marching route and wanted to pass through Ningdi and take the route of Tongmen, he
He patted his head, secretly thought of a good idea, and then sent an order to the entire army to follow the example of Huan Jun and march towards Ningdi.
As a result, before reaching Ningdi, they encountered the vast Pingyuan Army.
Li De was really shocked when he first heard that the Feng Army had taken the initiative to attack. When he heard that the opponent's troops were less than 100,000, he immediately calmed down. He has an elite division of 200,000 under his command.
No matter how powerful the Feng army is, it cannot compete with our own side.
He was so happy that he rarely encountered a small group of reckless Feng troops, and he deserved to make a great contribution. He deliberately asked the entire army to set up a highly offensive offensive formation like the "Front Arrow Formation", showing that he wanted to take the initiative.
Attack stance.
Three miles away from An's army, Pingyuan's army stopped advancing and quickly formed a crane wing formation to face it.
The front arrow formation emphasizes a central breakthrough. The elites of the entire army are concentrated in the middle, and the attack is extremely fierce. Of course, this formation does not require on-the-spot command from the general. It only needs to beat the drums all the way and break forward.
This is not the case with the Crane Wing Formation. It emphasizes central defense and outflanking on both wings. It is very flexible and requires the coach to have strong command and adaptability. The Pingyuan Army deployed the Crane Wing Formation. First, it showed Xiao Muqing's strength.
Confidence, and secondly, one can also see his intention to annihilate his opponents.
Seeing the opponent's Crane Wing Formation, Li De, who was in charge of the central army, was not surprised. Instead, he couldn't help but burst out laughing. The art of war has it that you can use the Crane Wing Formation twice as long as the enemy's strength to surround and annihilate the opponent.
, but now our own side is twice as strong as Feng's army. We haven't set up the Crane Wing Formation yet, but the other side has used it. From this point of view, the enemy commander does not understand the art of war, so how can we not win this battle?
Li De stood on the chariot drawn by eight horses, turned his head and asked General An beside him: "Who is the enemy's commander?"
"Reporting to the general, the enemy army under the banner of Pingyuan must be the Pingyuan Army of the Feng Kingdom. The enemy's commander is most likely the General of the Feng Kingdom, Xiao Muqing." A general An answered with his hands raised.
"Xiao Muqing? Haha..." Li De laughed smugly: "Before I fought against this man, I thought he was such an amazing and famous general. Now that I have seen him, he is not worthy of his name, it's nothing more than that!"
Jiang Shaozhi, the deputy commander of the An Army, frowned and said in a low voice: "General, you must not be careless! The Pingyuan Army commanded by Xiao Muqing has fought dozens of small battles with the Ning people without any defeat. This shows that he is a very kind man.
The soldiers are very talented, and the Pingyuan Army’s combat power is also astonishingly strong..."
Idiots generally have a common problem. They accept the words that are pleasant to their ears and ignore the words that are offensive. Li De is undoubtedly the best among them.
After hearing Jiang Shaozhi's warning, he sneered and scolded in a cold voice: "General Jiang, what is your intention to increase the enemy's morale and destroy my own prestige? If you dare to talk nonsense in front of me again and disturb the morale of our army, you will be punished."
Go back to the country immediately! I hate people like you who are greedy for life and afraid of death the most in my life!"
Jiang Shaozhi was much older than Li De, and was only half a rank lower than him, but the latter trained him mercilessly, as if he were training a dog, and the surrounding generals felt that
Li De is too much and too inhumane.
Jiang Shaozhi was so embarrassed and angry that his face turned red. He looked at Li De and gritted his teeth with hatred, clenching his fists tightly. But he really didn't dare to do anything to Li De. After all, he was the commander-in-chief of the entire army and had the left prime minister as his backer.
If even a hair on his head was touched, he wouldn't be able to save his own head.
Li De didn't bother to take another look at him, but he found a little dust on his armor. He frowned and immediately called the guards around him to come over and wipe his armor clean.
The battle between the two armies was about to begin. Instead of paying attention to the enemy's movements, he focused on whether his armor was clean and beautiful. Li De was considered a 'genius' of his generation.
After the guards wiped away all the dust on his armor, he lowered his head and looked carefully, his brows gradually relaxed, and he nodded with satisfaction.
The armor of Anguo is indeed exquisite and beautiful. Not to mention the armor of the commander-in-chief of an army, even the armor of ordinary soldiers can be placed as decorations at home. Wearing such an outfit makes you look majestic and heroic, but whether it is suitable for fighting in battle depends on it.
Don't worry about it.
While Li De was still examining his armor, he suddenly noticed that a carriage was slowly coming out of the Fengjun camp opposite. There were no accompanying soldiers around. There were only two people on the carriage except the driver, and there was a white flag.
.
Not understanding the rules on the battlefield, Li De watched for a while, threw his head up and laughed loudly, and said to the soldiers around him: "The enemy army was frightened by the appearance of our army and surrendered before the official battle with our Anguo soldiers.
, Ridiculous, ridiculous, haha——"
People looked at each other and sighed inwardly, not knowing who was being ridiculous?!
An Anjiang swallowed his foam and bravely said tactfully: "General... General, the enemy came out as envoys. Maybe they surrendered to our army, or... maybe they had something to discuss with our army...
…”
Hearing this, Li De suppressed his smile, turned around and glared dissatisfied at the speaking general, and said coldly: "Don't you know you are my commander? What matters need to be discussed on the battlefield? If it is not surrender, he will come out to do it.
very?"
After being questioned by him in a series, General An was speechless. He lowered his head, cupped his hands and said, "This is what the general taught you."
Just as he was talking, a messenger from the front came galloping over. When he got close to the chariot, he dismounted, knelt down and saluted, and said urgently: "Report——General, the enemy commander Xiao Muqing is in front of the two armies."
