Chapter 981 How Xiao Minyan won the heart of the army
"Lu Zhensheng has a heavy army and is in the border city. If he suddenly launches an attack on the border army, and Murong Di's army attacks both inside and outside the pass, the border army may not be able to cope with it." Chaoyang was also a little worried.
"Murong Di did not lose. He just had to temporarily withdraw from Longju Pass because of the food and grass. He will come to join Lu Zhensheng because all the stolen food, grass and military pay for the border army are in Lu Zhensheng's hands, and they need them." Shen Qingzhou guessed that Murong
Di will come for food and grass.
"If Murong Di and Lu Zhensheng cooperate inside and outside, do we have a chance of winning?" Chaoyang was worried that the rain clouds had drifted to the border.
"Without foreign aid, there is no chance of winning." Shen Qingzhou told the truth.
If there is no one to help at the border, there is no chance of winning.
"But..." Chaoyang shook his head. Dayu was too busy to take care of himself, and Yin Chengdu took charge of the expedition himself.
Southern Xinjiang has long been torn apart, and Xiao Chengen is still struggling to hold on to the canyon pass, with no extra strength to support Fengtian.
"Someone... can." Shen Qingzhou looked thoughtfully in the direction outside the pass.
Chaoyang opened his mouth in shock, and after a long time he spoke in a low voice. "The Western Region Cavalry? How is that possible... Even if they don't add fuel, they will never help us."
"Not necessarily." Shen Qingzhou raised his eyebrows. "Before Xiao Junze left, I had not figured out the purpose of the Western Regions cavalry stationed outside the pass with great fanfare. Now it seems that the goal of the Western Regions has never been Fengtian and Dayu."
The shock in Chaoyang's eyes became even worse. "He..."
"If the Western Regions Cavalry doesn't take action, and doesn't attack the world and clean up all the counties and counties, it won't be able to drive out these ants and rats hiding in the dark." Shen Qingzhou guessed that Anmeilou and the Western Regions Cavalry were targeting the Wu Clan from the beginning to the end.
Come.
The Wu Clan couldn't hold back their anger. Knowing that the Western Region was about to be swept away, they took advantage of the situation and started their century-old plan.
Chaoyang was silent for a long time before taking a deep breath. "I still... don't think it's credible to leave the fate of Fengtian in the hands of the Western Regions."
"There is still a way out." Shen Qingzhou will always make complete plans. "It is better not to retreat unless it is absolutely necessary."
Chaoyang probably guessed it too.
The retreat is to abandon the three border cities, retreat to Zhiyangguan, reinforce the walls and gates of Zhiyangguan, and hold on to it.
"Zhiyang Pass is our only escape route, we must not make any mistakes." After thinking for a moment, Chaoyang spoke again. "I heard that Xiao Junze recalled Jing Li to Kyoto, and Zhiyang Pass temporarily changed generals. Can Xiao Minyan...can take on this important task?
"
"Xiao Minyan is a prince, and he is still young. It is inevitable that he will not be able to convince the crowd when he enters the border for the first time. Whether he can control that group of people depends on his ability." This is what Shen Qingzhou is worried about.
…
To Yangguan.
Jing Li left and Xiao Minyan took over.
Obviously, Xiao Minyan was not able to restrain these border soldiers for the time being.
"My lord, it's very hard at the border. Don't brag about it. Go back to the camp and rest." Cheng Hu was lifting a stone hammer in the school training ground. When he saw Xiao Minyan coming, he said angrily.
After all, Xiao Minyan was a young man and had difficulty convincing the public.
Xie Yunnan followed Xiao Minyan, a little angry, but did not dare to provoke the strong Cheng Hu. "It's amazing to be able to lift a stone hammer."
"Bang!" Cheng Hu threw the stone hammer to the ground with a bang, which made Xie Yunnan tremble.
He was so frightened that he quickly hid behind Xiao Minyan.
Xiao Minyan frowned, his face darkened, and his eyes showed a calmness that shouldn't be seen at this age.
With his hands behind his back, Xiao Minyan spoke in a deep voice. "When General Jing Li was here, how did the soldiers train? Are they so sloppy?"
Cheng Hu ignored Xiao Minyan. "That won't happen. General Jing Li will train with us."
"Then let's get together, everyone, stand up for me!" Xiao Minyan's pressure was low, and his voice was full of anger.
The soldiers sitting sloppily on the ground were all downcast, obviously this was for Xiao Minyan to see.
Xiao Minyan slowly clenched his fingers, and his joints turned white.
Before coming to the border, Xiao Junze said that the military camp is the only place where a man must pass and it is also the proving ground for him to grow from a boy to a man.
Xiao Junze said that when he took over Jing Li's troops, the soldiers would definitely complain and asked him to find a way to solve it himself. If he really couldn't solve it, then write to him.
Xiao Minyan only wanted to solve his brother's problems, so how could he give up so easily?
But even though his words were very oppressive, these people also knew that the law does not punish everyone, and not a single person moved.
Xiao Minyan took a deep breath, unable to control his anger.
Xie Yunnan thought for a while and looked at Cheng Hu.
The only one who dared to stand up and refuse to accept was Cheng Hu. He had figured it out. Cheng Hu was Jing Li's life-and-death friend as well as his lieutenant. All of them obeyed Cheng Hu.
"Has General Cheng practiced today? How many laps is the limit for this physical training?" Xie Yunnan looked at the roadblocks at the school training ground and the open space for physical training. "Looking at General Cheng like this, he must not have all his strength for nothing.
Powerful, right?"
Cheng Hu glared at Xie Yunnan angrily. "Little lady, please don't talk nonsense."
"You!" Xie Yunnan's face turned red with anger. These people laughed at him for being a lady on the first day! Shi Ke cannot be killed. "Hmph, I think you just don't dare to compete with our prince!"
Xiao Minyan glanced at Xie Yunnan, and silently beat in his heart, I thank you...
But in fact, it still needs to be brought out, it is completely cold.
He is Xiao Junze's younger brother. Even if he does not have the pressure of an emperor, he must at least have the aura of a royal family.
At this time, you have to hold on to your neck.
"Huh? The prince who is used to glory and wealth? But don't, my subordinates don't dare to compete. If something goes wrong, all the heads of my entire family will fall to the ground." Cheng Hu smiled sarcastically.
"Don't have the guts to compete?" Xie Yunnan hid behind Xiao Minyan while irritating him.
Cheng Hu snorted and looked at Xiao Minyan, obviously intending to prevent him from getting off the stage. "Do you dare, Your Majesty?"
"Bi." Xiao Minyan said in a deep voice.
"Let's talk about it first. This subordinate is a rough guy. He only knows how to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and doesn't know how to retreat. If the prince can't hold on anymore, don't hold on." Cheng Hu put his words first, don't show off, hold on.
If you can't stop, you're not a man.
Xiao Minyan gritted his teeth. "Ten rounds of obstacle jumps."
Cheng Hu was stunned for a moment and laughed loudly. "Does the prince not know how powerful this school's training ground is? In obstacle running and jumping, new recruits have to lie down in one lap after entering the camp. You want ten laps?"
Xiao Minyan looked at Cheng Hu indifferently and said nothing.
Xie Yunnan felt emboldened instantly. "What's wrong? You don't dare?"
After finishing speaking, he did not forget to cheer Xiao Minyan in his ear. "My lord, you are as light as a swallow. The lightness kung fu method trained by King Yao is your strong point. Even though he is big and heavy, he will definitely lose."
Xiao Minyan glanced at Xie Yunnan. "I thank you."
Xie Yunnan quickly waved his hand. "Hey, you're welcome. You're welcome. This subordinate is doing this for the prince's sake."
If Xiao Minyan cannot convince the public, there will be endless hidden dangers in Zhiyangguan.
This is naturally not what Xiao Junze wants to see.
What's more, Xie Yunnan also knew in his heart that there must be someone in the army who was fanning the flames, otherwise... even for the sake of the emperor's relatives, these people would not dare to risk their lives like this.
