When Tu An saw this scene, his face turned pale with fright. He quietly raised his head and looked at the Donglin soldiers who were watching eagerly around him. He was very puzzled. Two days ago, he heard that the best emperor of Donglin Kingdom was marching in person, and he had already arrived thirty miles away.
Why are there so many Donglin soldiers here in Qixian County?
Are they really them, or are they Zhang Baihu's remnant troops? Just when he felt that he was helpless, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came to his ears. The soldiers consciously made an opening. Tu An turned around curiously,
But he saw Shao Yan riding a horse and riding towards him with Yun Yun.
"Shao - Shao Yan?" Tu An shouted in surprise. Since the last fire in the Liu Mansion, his men were either burned to death or poisoned to death. From then on, he secretly vowed to kill Shao Yan with his own hands.
He wanted to avenge his brothers, but he didn't expect to meet in such a place. And judging from the opponent's aura, his identity was obviously very unusual. Could it be that he was the commander-in-chief of Donglin Kingdom?
Seeing this guy shaking his head from time to time, Shao Yan felt happy. I said grandson, I don’t need to be so nervous when I see your grandpa? Hehe, "It’s rare that General Tu recognizes me. I haven’t seen you for many days. I hope you are fine."
ah?"
Tu An said nonchalantly: "Mr. Shao was so famous in Nanliang Kingdom at the beginning. I didn't expect that he became the general of Donglin Kingdom so quickly. It seems that I have underestimated you."
"Damn, this is the current emperor." Before Shao Yan could speak, Dong Tianyuan beside him pointed at Tu An and yelled angrily.
The soldiers of Liang Jun couldn't help but were stunned. They hurriedly threw themselves on the ground and shouted long live the emperor. Tu An was stunned for a moment. He couldn't believe that the young boy in the past had transformed into the best emperor of Donglin Kingdom. This, this was incredible.
He rubbed his eyes with his hands and realized that he was not in a dream.
Seeing him standing there dumbfounded, General Tan Shijie came over and shouted: "You are so bold to Tu An, and you still don't kneel down when you see Emperor Donglin." After saying that, several soldiers rushed over and forced him to the ground.
Tu An recovered instantly, raised his head and glared at Shao Yan, and said disapprovingly: "Hmph, so what if you are really the emperor of Donglin Kingdom? I only kneel to the emperor of Nanliang Kingdom."
‘Pa’, Dong Tianyuan stepped forward and gave him a hard slap in the face, cursing: “How can a defeated general be brave? If you dare to be disrespectful to the emperor again, I, the general, will kill you with one blow.”
Seeing Tu An holding his cheek and not uttering a word, as if he was full of grievances, Shao Yan felt funny in his heart, so he waved Dong Tianyuan and Tan Shijie to retreat first, then dismounted and came to Tu An, saying: "General Tu is right.
, you and I are now the banner masters. Logically speaking, you don’t need to kneel down to me, but don’t forget one thing. This is the territory of the Donglin Kingdom, not your Nanliang Kingdom. It’s not your turn to run wild!
"When he said the last sentence, Shao Yan raised his tone to the highest level.
Tu An concealed the fear in his heart and said with a smile: "Excellent emperor, don't deceive yourself there. With your small Donglin country, no one is the opponent of our two countries. Everyone knows the victory."
Defeat is just around the corner, our Nanliang army will capture Luojing City in the near future, and by then you will be a subjugated king, hahaha..."
"Bah -" Yun Yun couldn't swallow the bad breath and spat at him fiercely: "Who do you think you are? Although our Donglin country is small, our army and civilians can still unite to deal with you foreigners.
There are enough thieves to want to destroy us? Humph, you have given up on this idea!"
Tu An first slowly wiped the saliva from his face with his sleeves, then raised his head to face Yun Yun and said coldly: "This must be the famous Concubine Yun in your country? I know something about your deeds.
I heard that your Majesty Yuntianlin colluded with Chen Guiren to murder the empress, but the family was exterminated. The current emperor ignored the past and made you his concubine, but it is a pity that you are still a useless person in the end." Seeing that Yun Yun looked very ugly, he deliberately sighed and continued: "
Alas, in this vast world, there are so many things that are so strange. Even if your legs are crippled, you can still serve as a harem. I am afraid that only the best emperors can do this."
"You..." Yun Yun was so angry that she whipped him with a whip.
"My Majesty, you don't have to be angry with this kind of person, let me kill him with one blow." Dong Tianyuan and Tan Shijie saw that Tu An was so arrogant, they all drew their swords and wanted to kill him on the spot.
"Everyone, stand down!" Shao Yan shouted sternly, and the two of them reluctantly put away their weapons. Tu An chuckled proudly, Shao Yan bent down and squatted in front of him, and said calmly: "General Tu,
If you haven’t laughed enough before, then just laugh, and let’s see who can laugh last?”
Upon hearing this, Tu An stopped laughing, his eyes showed a trace of contempt, and he snorted coldly in his heart: Dog Emperor, you asked me to laugh, but I refused to laugh. When you become the king of the country, I will let you
No place to even cry
"Come here, take all the people back."
"yes!"
…
It was dusk when they returned to the Qixian camp. Shao Yan asked the soldiers to put Tu An in prison first, and then summoned all the generals to hold an impromptu military meeting. At the meeting, Shao Yan directly made it clear that he wanted to attack Changqing tomorrow.
Changqing City launched a general attack, and the generals expressed their opinions. Some thought it was a risky move. With our current military strength, it is difficult to break through Changqing City. Some suggested that instead of waiting for death, it would be better to strike first. Some said that before attacking the city, we should first attack the city.
Find Zhang Baihu and the scattered troops
Prior to this, according to reports from spies lurking in Changqing City, there were a total of 80,000 troops stationed in the city, distributed at the four gates of the southeast, northwest and northwest, including patrol teams on each street. In addition, there were several patrols adjacent to Changqing City.
Each city is heavily guarded by troops, ranging from tens of thousands to four to five thousand, adding up to a total of 200,000. Shaoyan only has 50,000 troops, plus 3,000 brave warriors and temporarily expanded troops.
The total number of men and horses does not exceed 60,000. Once the battle begins, Jin Dingguo will definitely devote all his strength to swoop in. At that time, 60,000 will be used against the opponent's 200,000, plus the opponent occupies the exits of major fortresses.
, in this situation where the right time and place are not favorable to us, our army has a very small chance of winning.
What troubles Shao Yan most right now is that if Jin Dingguo really underestimates the enemy as he imagined, as long as this guy opens the city gate, he will have a chance to attack the city. But if the opponent fails to come out to fight, the problem will be
This was difficult, because before the expedition, Shao Yan received a report from Bai Mei in front, saying that there was a shortage of food and grass, so he did not hesitate to allocate some of his 50,000 troops and horses to the front line. In other words, the number of soldiers currently in the military camp was
The food and grass can only last for half a month. Only he and Yunyun know this news. Once it is spread, it will definitely affect the morale of the soldiers.
"In my opinion, we can launch a false attack first to lure Jin Dingguo out of the city, then catch him by surprise and beat him up, and then we can take the opportunity to rush into the city," Dong Tianyuan said
Zhao Zijian said: "No, now that Tu An is in our hands, Jin Dingguo will never make the same mistake again. It would be harder to get him to open the city gate than to reach the sky."
"Hey, that's not easy to handle. Let's just use Tu An to force him to open the city gate. Tu An is also a coach after all, and he, Jin Dingguo, will never ignore death?" Tan Shijie said.
The generals started a debate on the topic of attacking the city. Seeing that everyone expressed their opinions, only Cheng Yong sat there glumly and said nothing. Shao Yan asked curiously: "Why didn't General Cheng say a word?
If you’ve thought of any clever ideas, why don’t you tell me?”
Cheng Yong thought for a moment, stood up and held his hands in his hands and said: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I haven't come up with any good ideas. However, I think General Tan's suggestion is good. We can use Tu An as a hostage to coerce Jin Dingguo."
Zhao Zijian said disdainfully: "What if Jin Dingguo refuses to submit?"
Cheng Yong said resolutely: "Then there are no words, just one word - fight. Although we have a small number of soldiers, but with the emperor personally conducting the expedition, the morale of the soldiers will be high, and the people in the city will also stand on our side."
"General Cheng is absolutely right. Your Majesty, please give the order. The general has been looking forward to this day for a long time." Tan Shijie and Dong Tianyuan said in unison. Other generals also expressed their approval of the main attack. Although Zhao Zijian had different views,
Seeing that everyone agreed, I stopped arguing.
Shao Yan saw that they were all very motivated and thought that although this battle was risky, it would happen sooner or later. So he straightened up suddenly, punched the table, and said: "Since everyone has no objection, it's settled.
, pass the order, let the soldiers have a good sleep tonight, and attack Changqing City early tomorrow morning."
"This is your order!" the generals stood up and shouted in unison.
…
The next morning, everything was silent. The dawn lifted off the veil of night, spitting out the brilliant morning light, awakening the sleeping creatures. Half of the bright moon in the sky gradually penetrated into the clouds, and was replaced by a bright morning sun, branches and trees.
Above, the birds were chirping non-stop, and the flowers and plants lowered their heads to shake off the dew on their bodies.
On the campus of the camp, 50,000 soldiers lined up neatly in a square formation. From a distance, they looked like a dark forest. They all stood there with their heads held high, holding a spear in one hand and a broadsword at their waist in the other.
The row in front held a red flag with the two characters "Donglin" written on it.
The autumn sun shone with a hint of warmth on their bodies, revealing their masculine and upright faces.
At the front of the team stood Cheng Yong, Zhao Zijian, Dong Tianyuan, Tan Shijie, Yuan Chang and other generals.
At this time, the sound of horse hooves came from the side of the school field. For a moment, Shao Yan was seen wearing a golden armor, a white shirt, a silver lion helmet on his head, a long sword on his waist, and riding a tall horse slowly walking
Arriving at the center of the school ground, Yun Yun was wearing red armor, holding a long sword, and riding a maroon war horse behind him. Four masters each rode a white horse.
