Sitting in the room was naturally Qin Yang, who had been waiting for a long time. In front of Qin Yang, a square table was filled with a large table of mouth-watering wine and food.
The five people who walked in from the door were naturally the Ming Empire's Situ Guojia, Sikong Ma Yuanyi, Sima Pangtong, as well as the two deacons of Qinyang's special government office and Juxian Yuan, Jia Xu and Xi Zhicai.
When the five of them saw Qin Yang's posture, they immediately understood what Qin Yang meant. There is a tradition among the Yellow Turban Army that before any battle, Qin Yang would put a table of delicious food. This kind of banquet is not like
Normally, the principals and ministers eat separately, but there is only one table and only one plate of each dish. According to Qin Yang, this kind of banquet is called "military prison banquet".
Now Qin Yang once again held this military prison banquet, obviously telling the five pillars of the Ming Empire that there is no need to discuss whether to fight or not to fight. Now, it is how to fight, and whoever fights will get to eat.
It’s a question of most things.
"Sit down, please sit down and talk." When Qin Yang saw the five people walking into the hall, he couldn't help but wave with a smile. The five people also smiled heartily and walked to the table to sit down.
Guo Jia said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the ministers are waiting for you to come so late. Is it because of your conscience that you are going to improve the treatment for us?"
Qin Yang rolled his eyes at Guo Jia and scolded with a smile: "You guys are already ranked among the three nobles, and you are still so frivolous? But, I like it... haha."
As he spoke, Qin Yang raised the wine glass in front of him, turned to Jia Xu and Xi Zhicai and said: "Old opera, old Jia, I dedicate this glass to you. You two went deep into the tiger's den for my yellow scarf, and sneaked into Xichuan and Cao respectively.
Battalion, endured the humiliation and endured the heavy burden, which led to the rise of our Yellow Turban Army again. But after the founding of the Ming Empire, you refused to give high-level executives generous salaries and settled in Juxian Court as deacons. I, Qin Yang, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
, I also feel ashamed of you."
Jia Xu and Xi Zhicai hurriedly raised their glasses. Although this was not the first time Qin Yang had said this. But whenever Qin Yang, who was already an emperor, said this, it was enough to make them both sincerely moved.
.
Jia Xu raised his glass and said: "Your Majesty, please stop talking. When Lao Xi and I were ordered to lurk, we originally wanted to help Your Majesty conquer the North and Xichuan in one fell swoop. However, we never thought that Your Majesty would break his sword in Ruyin City and leave for the Southern Wilderness.
.This is the incompetence of my ministers."
Qin Yang laughed and said: "Okay, let's not talk about this evil anymore. It's all gone. I also understand that the two of you must have suffered a lot of grievances for lurking in the enemy army for me, Qin Yang.
, has also been criticized by people all over the world. If you continue to serve as a high-ranking official in our Ming Empire, it will only make your reputation as a seller seeking glory more solid. But having said that, although you are not my official in Qin Yang, you really have something to do.
When the time comes, you must also do your best for me, Qin Yang."
Jia Xu smiled and said: "Your Majesty, as long as you have an order, I will never give up even if I die!"
However, Xi Zhicai drank three glasses of wine before he said calmly: "Why are you talking so much nonsense? Why have you become so sloppy after becoming the emperor? Just tell me what you have to say. I, Xi Zhicai, don't care about reputation, let alone anything else.
Status. As long as there is good wine, I will follow you wherever you go."
Qin Yang laughed again when he heard this and said, "Okay! In that case, I won't be polite. Do you know what the name of the banquet table in front of you is?"
Without waiting for anyone to answer, Qin Yang said directly: "I named this banquet Zhanbai Banquet. It has five main dishes and several side dishes. There is also a side dish. I wonder if you are interested in trying it?"
"Behead the white seats?" The five people's hearts moved, and a flash of light flashed in their eyes at the same time, and they listened quietly to Qin Yang's next words.
Qin Yang continued: "This is a white table. Although the name is a bit vulgar, I think everyone can understand its meaning. My five main dishes naturally represent the five elite soldiers. I don't know which one you want to serve first.
?”
Five main dishes, five elite soldiers. Everyone naturally understood the meaning. Now Bai Qi's five elite soldiers destroyed the city and destroyed the stronghold, with a momentum like a rainbow. These five dishes were really not very delicious.
Everyone was silent for a moment, but Xi Zhicai, who had been drinking continuously, was the first to open his mouth and cast a sidelong glance at the five dishes in the center of the table. He stood up, took a plate of steamed bear paws, and munched on the wine.
When Qin Yang saw it, he smiled slightly and said: "I'm talking about old dramas, why don't you just eat these dishes without asking what they are? Can you eat them?"
After Xi Zhicai drank a glass of wine, he said calmly: "Steamed bear's paw, a rare treasure from the North. When the Demon Army first came to the Central Plains, Sun Bin captured Jizhou in the North. The Mizong Army set up a Mizong Formation, killing Cao Jun and fleeing. Presumably this is
The bear's paw must be Sun Bin. This formation is the best I have ever played Zhicai in my life. It is what I want to do to fight against the master of Sun Tzu's Art of War hundreds of years ago."
Qin Yang laughed loudly when he heard this and said: "Okay! Then I wish the old opera horse success! How many troops do you need to fight against Sun Bin's mysterious army?"
Xi Zhicai smiled and said: "It's useless to have too many people. Sun Bin's Lost Army has fifteen thousand people. I only need General Gao Shun to trap 800 people in the camp, and Zhang Liao to lead ten thousand infantry troops to encircle and suppress them."
"Okay!" Qin Yang nodded and said, "Then I'll leave the Lost Army to you. What do the rest of you need? If not, then I will give the remaining dishes to Cao Cao and
Liu Bei is here."
"Your Highness, don't worry. How can such a good thing allow Cao Cao, Liu Bei and the others to take advantage of them?" Pang Tong smiled slightly and brought over a plate of braised pork chops as he spoke.
After taking a bite, Pang Tong praised: "The braised pork chop is fat but not greasy, and it melts in your mouth. Not bad, not bad."
Seeing Pang Tong like this, Qin Yang and others couldn't help but smile and say nothing, waiting quietly for his next words. Sure enough, after Pang Tong finished eating, he said calmly: "In Bai Qi's army, the two cavalry are particularly powerful, and one is fighting hard."
Lian Po's Yanling Guards were the first to ascend to the throne. All of his troops are men with superb equestrian skills. They are especially good at riding and shooting, and they move like the wind. If it's not as good as Lian Po, I'll leave it to you."
Qin Yang smiled slightly and said: "If Pang Sima has this intention, that would be great. There are also elite knights under my Yellow Turban Army. I wonder which one do you want, the black mountain or the silver armor?"
Pang Tong shook his head and smiled: "The Black Mountain heavy cavalry is invincible. The silver armored cavalry is unparalleled in speed. But what I want this time is not these two cavalry. What I want is the heavy armor of His Majesty's rear camp, and the divine machine."
Elite soldiers in the battalion.”
"Oh?" Qin Yang narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Houtu Camp and Shenji Camp? Shenji Camp is indeed the nemesis of the cavalry, and the defense of Houtu Camp is also first-rate. But with these two armies alone, if you
It is possible to win, but if you want to annihilate the Yanlingwei, I'm afraid..."
Pang Tong laughed and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, Pang Tong has his own plan."
Seeing what Pang Tong said, Qin Yang also smiled slightly, nodded and said: "Okay! Then as Pang Sima wished, the Houtu Camp and the Shenji Camp will be yours."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Seeing that two of the five main dishes on the table had been removed. Three of the elite members of the Yellow Turban Army had also been removed. The other three people pondered for a moment, and Ma Yuanyi first said: "Your Majesty, let me see, this dish is for me."
Just stop eating. Although I also served as a military advisor to the Yellow Turban Army, my own talents are still far behind those of you..."
When Qin Yang saw what Ma Yuanyi said, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "Why would Ma Sikong belittle himself so much? Who among our Yellow Turban Army doesn't know that as long as Lord Sikong is here, our Yellow Turban Army will have no worries? I think our Yellow Turban Army has been fighting for years. No matter it is
Whether it's the logistics supply or the defense of the base camp, are you in charge of everything? Your contribution is definitely no less than that of everyone here."
As soon as Qin Yang said this, everyone else couldn't help but nod in agreement, and Xi Zhicai even said: "I'm talking about Lao Ma, you are a mature and prudent person, and you are low-key and thoughtful. When it comes to defense, I, Xi Zhicai, are not as good as me.
you."
Qin Yang continued: "What the old man said is right, and I have said before that there is another dish on the Zhanbai banquet, and this dish is prepared for you. Someone, bring that dish
The food is here!”
After giving the order, the guards outside the courtyard had already heard the news. Not long after, a steaming pot of soup was brought up.
Qin Yang pointed at the soup pot and smiled: "Even if others want this pot of beef soup, I will not give it to them. The main dish on the surface of this pot is Zhang Han, the general of the Demon Army. But what is hidden underneath is
, but it’s another Demon Commander Han Xin!”
"Han Xin?!" Everyone was startled when they heard the words. Then they understood what Qin Yang meant. Although Bai Qi was commanding five elite demon armies to march south to Jingzhou, on the side of Jingzhou, there was the demon army general Zhang Han who was eyeing him.
Behind Zhang Han was Han Xin, who landed at Songjiang but was driven back to Jiangbei due to the barbarian army's participation in the war. Now Qin Yang has given the task of defending Zhang Han and Han Xin's army to Ma Yuanyi, which shows that he relies heavily on Ma Yuanyi.
degree.
When Ma Yuanyi saw this, he couldn't help but feel excited. Although he had always been working quietly behind the Yellow Turban Army to help Qin Yang manage the rear and defend the territory. But after all, he had followed Zhang Jiao in the north and south, and saw the Yellow Turban Army making contributions on the battlefield ahead.
There will also be a sense of loneliness. Now that he can finally lead his troops into battle, Ma Yuanyi can hardly suppress the surge in his heart.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Ma Yuanyi said with emotion.
Qin Yang smiled slightly and said: "No need to thank you. If the reinforcements from the Demon Army are not available, you, Ma Sikong, will have done a great job! Tell me, how many troops do you need?"
Ma Yuanyi thought for a while and said: "Fifty thousand infantry, in addition, I also want to take General Huang Zhong's 5,000 Feiyu camp with me."
"Fifty thousand?!" Not only Qin Yang, but even the other four people couldn't help but be startled. Qin Yang couldn't help but said in surprise: "Are you sure you said fifty thousand? Not 150,000? Five hundred thousand?"
No wonder Qin Yang would say this. After all, Han Xin has a so-called five hundred thousand demon army. In addition to Zhang Han, there are also cavalry general Guan Ying, giant ax warrior Fan Kuai, and famous demon generals such as Cao Shen, Zhou Bo, and Xia Houying.
And Han Xin is a famous general who is not inferior to Bai Qi in terms of resourcefulness and strategy. Ma Yuanyi only has 50,000 people, is it too childish?
Ma Yuanyi smiled and said: "Of course, I want more than these. In addition... I also want to ask your Majesty for three people. One of them is General Wang Ping who is training the Wudang Feijun, and the other is Ma Su, who has joined the army. .As for the last one, there is the newly promoted general from Juxian Academy, General Jiang Wei."
After naming these three names, Ma Yuanyi saw that everyone was hesitant, so he smiled and said: "Do you think that I, Ma Yuanyi, have not fought for a long time and don't know much about the battle situation? Or maybe I am simply arrogant?"
As he spoke, Ma Yuanyi dipped his finger into some wine and marked on the table: "Please see, Zhang Han's troops are currently in Runan. If they march west to aid Bai Qi, they will definitely pass through the ancient city and Lushan." , Woshui. This city consists of a mountain and a river. Today's ancient city is under the garrison of Liu Bei's army and guarded by the two brothers Mi Zhu and Mi Fang. There are 100,000 elite soldiers in the city and sufficient food, grass and military equipment. Zhang Hanqi People, marching and formations all have rules and regulations, and they act cautiously. If it is not perfect, they will not dare to move lightly. Here, I only need to send one general and lead 10,000 soldiers as suspicious soldiers, which will definitely make Zhang Han dare not advance. And when After he determined the situation here and decided to attack the city, my mission of 10,000 soldiers has been completed. The whole army can retreat to the Lushan line."
As he spoke, Ma Yuanyi pointed at Lushan with his finger and continued: "In Lushan, General Wang Ping's Wudang Feijun and General Huang Zhong's Feiyu Camp have already taken advantage of this opportunity to set up defense lines. Once Zhang Han's army kills They will definitely encounter a head-on attack. And my remaining 50,000 soldiers are still regarded as suspects, acting as reinforcements for our army and coming from a distance. Likewise, Zhang Han still dare not act rashly. In this way, in Lushan. I am confident that I can delay the enemy for more than three days. In addition to the conservative estimate of five days in the ancient city, this means that Zhang Han has been delayed for a full eight days."
Speaking of this, Ma Yuanyi breathed out and said: "In eight days, both Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang from Jingzhou will send out reinforcements. At that time, my army will form defenses with Liu Bei's army on the Guoshui line. This time , I'm afraid Zhang Han will attack directly. However, our military strength is not inferior to him at this moment, and holding on to the Wei River will definitely not be a problem. So I say that to guard against Zhang Han, 50,000 troops and horses are enough for three generals."
"Okay!" When Ma Yuanyi finished speaking, Qin Yang couldn't help but applaud. The rest of the people couldn't help but nod. Until now, people had only noticed Ma Yuanyi's ability to govern the place. But none of them discovered that Ma Yuanyi was good at marching and fighting. He actually had such an outstanding mind. This arrangement not only made full use of Liu Bei's army as cover, but also minimized losses. Moreover, Ma Yuanyi also had an extremely accurate understanding of the battle situation and the opponent's generals. With such an arrangement, even if others here ask themselves, they can't do better than Ma Yuanyi.
Qin Yang picked up the wine glass and said to Ma Yuanyi: "Ma Sikong. I respect you for this glass! With Ma Sikong's ingenious plan, Bai Qi's army will all be buried in Jingzhou!"
Ma Yuanyi smiled slightly and picked up the wine glass. He has always acted in a low-key manner, so he was entrusted with an important task this time, so he naturally had to do his best.
After finishing a drink, Qin Yang looked at the three remaining main dishes on the table, then at Jia Xu and Guo Jia, and said with a smile: "You two, it's time to order now, right?"
Guo Jia looked at Jia Xu with a smile and said, "Mr. Jia, since His Majesty has said so, can you please choose first?"
Jia Xu also laughed when he heard this and said: "Is it possible that Guo Situ has already made a plan and is sure of victory no matter which elite army he faces?"
Guo Jia had enough time to take a bite of side dishes, and while eating, he said: "I dare not say this. Everyone knows that I, Guo Jia, have little ability. I must just eat some side dishes."
Qin Yang laughed when he heard this. No one knew Guo Jia better than him. Guo Jia's success in leading troops in battles was due to his cunning, and he was often able to come up with unexpected plans to win. But at the same time, Guo Jia was also an out-and-out tactician.
Lazy people, Guo Jia's laziness is different from Jia Xu's lethargy. Guo Jia is the kind of person who doesn't think about things until they are in front of him. Now there are several enemy armies in front of him for Guo Jia to choose.
Guo Jiacai didn't have that thought. He would only wait for the last one left before he would think about how to deal with it.
"Since Guo Situ said so, let Mr. Jia choose first. Oh, by the way, I accepted this plate of white chicken first. In addition, the Black Mountain Cavalry and my personal guard camp will also come with me.
Let's go to war." Qin Yang said, smiling and bringing the large plate of white chopped chicken in front of him in the center of the table, and looked at Jia Xu with a smile. And this plate of white chopped chicken is naturally the battle between Bai Qi, the God of Death, and Bai Qi's subordinates.
The car is under guard.
Jia Xu looked at the remaining two plates of main dishes on the table, smiled slightly, and said lightly: "Now the only elites in our Yellow Turban Army are Huang Tianying and Silver Armor Army, and the soldiers of the Barbarian Army are far away in the southwest to set up defenses. It is impossible to
Come here... Well, I will leave these two armies to Guo Situ. Guo Situ can do more work, so he will eat these small dishes on the table together. I only need 50,000 troops, general?
Liao Hua, Zhang Niujiao and Huang Shao are enough. I will accept this plate of Wuchang fish."
While speaking, Jia Xu had already brought the dish in front of him. He raised his chopsticks and began to taste it slowly.
Seeing this, Guo Jia smiled and cupped his hands to Jia Xu: "Old Jia is still kind. Wu Qi's Wei soldiers are extremely difficult to deal with. Old Jia, you have done me a big favor! In this case, then I will
Received the last plate of stewed blood swallows. The Yanyun cavalry under Le Yi's command happens to be dealt with by the Silver Armor Army. If Huang Tianying's help is added to clean up these side dishes, there shouldn't be a big problem."
While the six people were chatting and laughing, the planned division of labor for this battle was over. Qin Yang raised his wine glass and said with a faint smile: "Everyone, you are all the pillars of my Ming Empire. I, Qin Yang, will personally take command of this battle."
.But I will never participate in the decision-making of your armies. If you have any difficulties, you can come to me at any time. I hope that this battle will make our Yellow Turban Army famous all over the world! Let everyone in the world know that our Yellow Turban Army does not rely on mythical beasts.
Even with your own strength, you can defeat the demonic army!"
"Your Majesty, don't worry, we will definitely live up to your mission!" The five people raised their glasses in unison and said in unison.
When the wine in the cup was finished, Qin Yang nodded, looked around the five people and said: "In addition, I want to say two things before going out. The first one is, no matter whether this battle is defeated or not, the five of you must come back alive! This is
I give you the only order. Every one of you is an indispensable talent for our Ming Empire. I would rather lose thousands of troops than let any accident happen to you."
Seeing Qin Yang's true feelings revealed, the five people couldn't help but have a touch of emotion in their eyes. As a king, Qin Yang was able to say this evil today, which is enough to see that Qin Yang has treated these five people as brothers.
After Qin Yang finished speaking, he smiled slightly and continued: "I won't say more sensational words, you all understand. As for the second thing, although we think well now, don't forget that if you want to fight against the devil
It’s not just us who are famous for our army. There are also Liu Bei and Cao Cao. I need you to defeat the demon army before them! This time I not only want to harvest Bai Qi’s head, but also let everyone know that the Han Empire
It’s already yesterday’s flowers, our Ming Empire is our destiny! Only the Ming Empire can defeat the demon army!”
