Chapter 1192 Fifth Stratagem
Qin Xiaotian, the general of the Yellow Shirt Army, appeared silently on the side slope, looking at the battlefield with disdain.
The fact that these officers and soldiers were fighting like this really made him look down upon them. Now it was only the Southern Xinjiang Army on the opposite side that deserved their serious treatment.
After a while, the shouts of killing on the battlefield stopped. Two to three hundred of the officers and soldiers died, more than half surrendered, and the rest fled. The yellow shirt army split up and pursued them, vowing to kill them all.
Qin Xiaotian walked slowly on the battlefield, looking at the trembling soldiers kneeling on the ground with a smile on his face.
This big victory came so happily.
"General, Mr. Ling has arrived."
A military general reported softly next to Qin Xiaotian.
"Come on, sir, I should let you listen to this good news together." Qin Xiaotian laughed loudly.
In the military tent, Ling Gong stood quietly in front of the map, his eyes slightly focused, and his pale white robe gave people an elegant feeling.
This war was naturally the work of Ling Gong. Looking at Chen Tiansheng's men, he is probably the only one who can be called resourceful.
"Mr. Ling, hahaha, you are really clever, this battle was a blast!" Qin Xiaotian, who kept laughing, strode into the military tent and kept saying:
"These Jiangnan soldiers are not even beaten. They collapse at the first touch and have no fighting power! In my opinion, this time we can pursue them all the way to the border of Shouyan Road."
There was no joy on Ling Gong's face, and he just asked in a calm tone: "What are the results of the battles everywhere?"
Qin Xiaotian spoke quickly and briskly: "According to the information gathered so far, our army has wiped out 20,000 enemies, and captured more than 10,000 of them. All the soldiers and horses under the command are still pursuing and advancing, and the second brother is watching from the front.
I estimate that after this battle is over, it will be good if Mr. Zhao on the opposite side can retain half of his troops."
Well said, Ling Gong suddenly said softly: "General Qin, you seem to be very happy?"
"Um, what's wrong?"
Qin Xiaotian was stunned. They had been together for two years and knew each other's temper very well. Ling Gong's current expression was obviously a little angry.
Chen Tiansheng relied heavily on Ling Gong, and Wu Zhiyong and Qin Xiaotian also respected this scholar very much. Among the entire army, apart from Chen Tiansheng, the only one who could make Qin Xiaotian obey was Ling Gong.
But Qin Xiaotian doesn't understand why Ling Gong is angry at all. Shouldn't he be happy after winning the battle?
"This time we were lucky enough to get information about Yingcheng's hoarding of grain and grass, and took the opportunity to defeat the army. It is indeed worth celebrating." Ling Gong murmured:
"But don't forget, our real opponent is the Fifth Heart Rou, we must not take it lightly! How to deal with the tens of thousands of southern Xinjiang troops? We still don't have a way to crack the elite Bu Tuo soldiers, how can we
Too happy?
If even the general is smiling, wouldn't the arrogance in the army become even greater?"
The cause of this war was that the Yellow Shirt Army captured an official scout, and happened to find a secret letter on his body, which contained information about Yingcheng's hoarding of grain and grass.
This important information was unexpectedly obtained by them, and everyone was surprised. So Ling Gong made a prompt decision, sent troops to attack without hesitation, and won the battle.
Hearing what Ling Gong said, Qin Xiaotian's cheeks instantly turned red and he lowered his head in shame.
Ling Gong patted his shoulder lightly, and then said: "If we want to assist King Huai to achieve great things, we must be careful in everything and work step by step. Once we fail in what we do, we will die without a burial place, and arrogant soldiers will surely die."
You must understand the truth of defeat."
Qin Xiaotian nodded heavily: "Sir, don't worry, I will immediately warn all soldiers in the army not to be arrogant!"
After some instruction from Ling Gong, Qin Xiaotian also put away the bright smile on his face.
"very good."
Ling Gong smiled happily: "Tell you generals, after the army arrives in Shouchun, we will attack accordingly. If the army's defense is lax, we will take down the entire Shouyan Road in one go. If the army fights to the death, we will temporarily shrink our troops and consolidate the defenses of various cities."
That’s it.
The generals are strictly ordered not to underestimate the enemy and advance rashly!"
"promise!"
…
A few days passed in a flash, and more and more officers and soldiers appeared on the border of Jiuchang Road. There is no doubt that those soldiers and horses who commanded to suppress the bandits in the south of the Yangtze River have returned, and Wu Xinrou's flag is flying again among the army.

Fifth Xinrou was sitting comfortably on a chair, listening to Ruan Zhixiong's report.
After Zhao Zhongtian led his troops to withdraw into Shouchun, he began to strengthen the city defense. He gathered less than 40,000 soldiers and suffered a solid defeat. However, Zhao Zhongtian also knew that he had no way to retreat, so he led his troops to defend the city desperately. The Yellow Shirt Army attacked by force for two days.
To no avail, the siege was finally abandoned.
"Young master's plan is indeed perfect. After Zhao Zhongtian suffered a huge defeat, I'm afraid he won't be able to compete with us for credit anymore." Ruan Zhixiong bowed and chuckled.
Among the entire army, he was the only one who would call Wu Xinrou "Young Master" in private.
Fifth Xinrou tapped her fingers lightly on the table: "It's just a small plan, Zhao Zhongtian has only a false reputation, but he has no talent to lead an army, haha~"
In Wu Xinrou's eyes, there is currently no opponent worthy of his attention on the Jiangnan battlefield. The Ling Gong opposite him is at most half.
No one knew that the official scout captured by the rebels was actually sent by Fifth Xinrou, and that the secret letter found was also deliberately shown by Fifth Xinrou to Ling Gong.
The reason is very simple, they just want Zhao Zhongtian to be defeated, so that he will be unable to compete with Wu Xinrou for the credit of suppressing the rebellion.
There must be a valid reason for not giving the Zhao family the position of Minister of War in the future, and defeat is the most suitable reason.
You can't blame others, you can only blame yourself for not being able to fight.
Ruan Zhixiong said softly: "The army has all arrived at the front line, has been repaired, and is ready to attack at any time."
Fifth Xinrou turned over the military report in her hand and asked casually: "Where is the Xue family's food?"
This marriage between the Xue family and Liang Prince's Mansion also exceeded Wu Xinrou's expectations. His previous advice to Shangguan Taiqing was to persuade Xue Chengyi with reason and emotion, and believed that Xue Chengyi was upright.
Personality, more or less will come up with some food and grass.
But he didn't expect that the Xue family would be so courageous, exchanging 120,000 stones of grain and grass for a marriage edict.
If he were in the capital, he would definitely refuse the Xue family's request. The marriage between the Xue family and Prince Liang's palace would inevitably have far-reaching consequences, but there was no way around it. By the time he received the news, it was already too late.
Ruan Zhixiong replied: "The first batch of grain and grass has been sent to the front line, and subsequent grain and grass are being loaded onto the truck one after another."
"Hmph, the Xue family's movements are really fast. They must have prepared food and grass a long time ago, just waiting for the Shangguan family to jump in." Fifth Xinrou snorted coldly, and the Xue family's methods could not be hidden from him.
Eye.
Ruan Zhixiong didn't say anything. The matter was at this point and there was no room for turning around.
"That's all, I won't mention it in advance."
Fifth Xinrou stood up: "Send five thousand elite soldiers to protect the grain road. There must be no problem with these grains. Call the generals to discuss and start attacking Jiuchang Road tomorrow!"
"promise!"
Chapter completed!
