After listening to what Chen Shen said, the King of Daxia faintly asked: "Is this the case?"
"That's right."
"All the generals are here, is what Chen Shaoqing said true?" Xia Yuanlong's tone softened a little at this moment. Thinking about it, the "bad news" he thought he had did not happen.
In terms of the country's overall plan, the death of Tian Zimo was no longer bad news in the heart of the emperor.
"That's right."
The young general who had a guilty conscience before was now the first to speak out: "The last general and others have seen with their own eyes that it was General Tian Zimo who relied on his old age and ignored the overall situation and took the lead in provoking Marshal Chen."
Hearing this, Chen Shen's lips curled up into a slight smile.
The rest of the generals also expressed their opinions, and they would just throw whatever dirty water they wanted on Tian Zimo: A dead person will not hold grudges...
"Okay, I understand. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Chen Shaoqing had no choice but to have a duel. It is understandable."
"On the contrary, it was Na Tian Zimo who dared to target the head of the Northern Expedition appointed by Gu Qianyan. In the face of a powerful enemy, that old bastard only focused on fighting for power and profit, and he deserved to die!"
"Chen Shen, you did the right thing. Not only are you not guilty, you are actually meritorious! I have officially appointed you as the Grand Marshal of the Northern Expedition. You have direct jurisdiction over all the generals and colleges in Northern Xinjiang, and you have the power to make arbitrary decisions when the opportunity arises!"
"If you encounter Tian Zimo and his ilk again, you can kill them first and then report them!"
"The general will obey the order!"
After hanging up the call, Xia Yuanlong stroked his forehead. His face could not tell whether he was happy or angry: "Chen Shen, Chen Shen, Gu is so supportive of you. In this Northern Expedition, you have to give Gu a beautiful talent."
yes!"
At the same time, the main palace of Dawan City and the meeting hall were opened.
All the generals who had previously harbored small thoughts now had their heads hanging half-down, not daring to look at the young man sitting on the seat.
The attitude of the King of Great Xia towards Chen Shen made these people clearly realize that as long as Chen Shen is still alive, no one can shake his position during this Northern Expedition.
Even those guys who originally thought about cheating and cheating, and were prepared to do nothing during the war, have given up this idea at this moment.
His Majesty personally gave Chen Shen the power to make arbitrary decisions when the situation arises, and he can kill him first and then report it.
In other words, this young man already holds a Shangfang sword in his hand, and he can kill him or bury him! No one would think that he would live long enough to test the sharpness of the sword with his neck...
God knows if he would be seen by Chen Shen or the supervisors he secretly arranged when he was not working hard at the back. Then his head would be chopped off with a sword, and there would be no place to cry.
Therefore, everyone was listening to Chen Shen making battle arrangements without daring to take a breath.
Finally, Chen Shen asked: "That's probably it. Who has anything to add?"
He glanced around, but no one raised their head and spoke.
So he asked again: "Do you have any different opinions? You can speak out now and let's discuss it."
"Young Marshal's deployment of this battle is extremely sophisticated. I admire him and have no objections to it," one person said.
"That's right. If there are really ten Xuanjing heavy cannons to cooperate, the general will have no objection." Another person said again.
Obviously, the lieutenant general didn't quite believe that Chen Shen had ten Xuanjing heavy cannons to help him, so he added here.
Chen Shen smiled and said: "Haha, you don't need to worry about this. If I say yes, there will be."
Ma Wu frowned slightly: "Brother Chen's deployment is brilliant. The only thing is that you personally called the formation outside the city, and there are only 20,000 brave cavalry troops and 3,000 bloody guards left at the east gate."
"Isn't this... a bit risky? You are the commander-in-chief of the armed forces!"
The young man waved his hand: "Hahaha, if I didn't have that strength, I wouldn't be so trusting. Just be at ease, old man!"
"That being the case, we have no objections!" Ma Wu said respectfully, clasping his fists.
After hearing the conversation between the two men, the generals of the Northern Front were all envious of Ma Wu.
To others, Chen Shen referred to him as "General X", but to the Lord of Ma City, he affectionately called him "Old Ma".
Ma Wu even called each other "Brother Chen", which shows that the two have a close relationship.
"Tsk, tsk, Ma Wu is a lot older. He thought he had no hope of promotion, but unexpectedly he climbed up to Chen Shen, a rising star and a popular figure in front of His Majesty."
"Given time, City Lord Ma may be able to go one step further!"
"Well. As long as Marshal Chen can successfully complete the Northern Expedition, Ma Wu's status will definitely rise accordingly."
"Oh, why don't I have this kind of blessing?"
…
Two hours later, the eastern sky turned fish belly white.
From the top of Dawan City, you can see smoke and dust billowing from the northeast.
The large group of people formed a long queue and walked slowly towards the direction of Dawan City.
Chen Shen narrowed his eyes: "Immediately send an order to the entire army to be alert. The enemy is coming!"
"Yes!" The ordering soldier immediately took the order and left.
Chen Shen said again: "Old Ma, your Dawan City garrison is divided into three teams to do a good job of supply and transportation for the other three city walls. Although there are nearly 150,000 troops on each of the three city walls, you can't be careless.
"In addition to transporting bows and arrows and other supplies, you also need to keep an eye on the fighting situation on the three sides of the city at all times. Once any side cannot support it, let the 50,000 reserve troops go up. If necessary, your city garrison will also go up
!”
"As for the head of the East City, as long as I'm here, it will be fine. You don't need to be distracted."
There are 150,000 troops on each of the three sides of the city, plus 50,000 reserve troops, for a total of 500,000.
In other words, Chen Shen only had 20,000 brave cavalry troops and 3,000 bloody guards left for him in the east city...
However, after Ma Wu saw Chen Shen's amazing combat power twice, he did not think that the other party was trying to make a big deal out of him. He nodded decisively: "Understood! Brother Chen, take care!"
Facing the solemn-looking old man with gray hair, the young man suddenly smiled mischievously and punched the other man in the chest: "Damn! Do you want to be so serious? It's as if we are going to say goodbye to each other!"
Immediately, the young man turned his head and looked towards the direction of the billowing smoke.
He smiled at the corner of his mouth and spoke loudly: "Take care of these two words, you should give them to these northern barbarians who invaded our country! Although, it is of no use..."
Ma Wu was startled when he heard this, and then laughed loudly: "Hahahaha, yes! It's useless."
"If they face you, Brother Chen, they will only be defeated!"
A quarter of an hour later, the Beiyi army, which originally could only be seen as a long and thin line, had now reached a mighty force thirty miles east of the city.
Three hundred and fifty thousand troops were arranged in an orderly manner, a dense mass of darkness, each strong and burly, with the spirit of a dragon or a tiger.
Just looking at it is enough to take your breath away.
However, the soldiers and generals stationed in the east city did not change their expressions.
"Shun Lao, Ling'er, elders, and brothers of the Blood Guards, I leave the safety of the city to you."
"Don't worry, young master, the city is here and the people are there!"
The mission of the three thousand blood guards is to guard the ten Xuanjing heavy cannons mounted on the top of the city.
Then, Chen Shen raised his hand: "Open the city gate!"
