Chapter 68: Change the generals before the battle

Views:

'Dingnan King' Yang Lin shook his head painfully and turned and walked off the battleship, with a drop of tears flowing from the corner of his eyes, Yang Lin seemed to be ten years old for a moment. 'Dingnan King' sat in the car silently, this time he did not give pre-war encouragement to the soldiers before the war, because he really couldn't tell. He couldn't encourage his soldiers to die, but even if the two hundred thousand soldiers were not encouraged by Yang Lin, they were full of determination to fight to the death, making this old man on the battlefield unable to stay here anymore.

"Father, are you all right!" a female voice full of magnetism asked.

Yang Lin shook his hand and said helplessly: "I hope they can wipe out more enemies! Let's go! Return to the handsome account."

The carriage walked away slowly, and a beautiful girl in armor with a heroic appearance lifted the curtains of the car and looked back at the fading army. The sunset is now shining on the river, rendering everything red. It seemed that it also heralded the scene where the'Chen Guo' soldiers would be blood-stained on the battlefield. The girl couldn't help but shed tears in her eyes.

Standing on a high post on the edge of the big river, Dongfanghong also looked at the scene of the setting sun like blood before her, not knowing what it felt like. It can be said that he contributed to everything now. Dongfanghong couldn't help but want to do so at this time. Just because of his own benefit, hundreds of thousands of innocent lives were ruined, and Dongfanghong even felt that he was really guilty.

Xu Maogong looked at Dongfang Hong's face with an unbearable expression, knowing the contradiction in Dongfang Hong's heart now. So Xu Maogong persuaded: “You don’t have to be too sad about this. Those who have become major events since ancient times must be determined. Now you think that these hundreds of thousands of lives are lost because of you, but even without you, one day they will be the same. Killed in battle."

Yu Chigong also said tragically next to him: "Yes, for the soldiers, the horse leather shroud on the battlefield is the highest reward for them."

"Oh!" Dongfanghong sighed helplessly. He also understood that war is the cruelest thing in the world. As long as the world is not unified, the war will continue forever. This is an unchangeable fact, so Dongfanghong wanted to open it too, so he turned around and left without losing his heart and said: "You will succeed in everything! May these heroic spirits rest in peace soon!"

On the second day after King Dingnan inspected the troops, the battle started! Soldiers of the two countries fought for selflessness on the river, fighting from early morning until sunset. The troops of the'Chen Guo' all regard death as home. Even if they see themselves lost, they will choose to burn their warships and collide with the enemy ships. Some soldiers would even set themselves ablaze and jump onto the enemy ship, which shows how brave and fearless the soldiers of the'Chen Guo' are.

However, the power gap cannot be made up only with courage, and the navy of the'Chen State' was finally annihilated by the'Qi State'. The crowd of two hundred and four hundred thousand finally withdrew to the city of'Chaisang' embarrassingly with only less than twenty thousand people. The battle of Qi Guo was won, but it was also extremely difficult to win. Dongfang Lunming also had to admire the bravery and tenacity of the soldiers of the Chen Guo. The powerful Nanying navy in the hands of Dongfang Lunming was in this battle. It also suffered heavy losses. The original 90,000 people have become less than 50,000 now. Because it was a water battle, Dongfang Lunming did not use nearly 200,000 troops from the north. After all, they were unfamiliar with water warfare and would get in the way. Dongfang Lunming mainly used the water troops drawn along the Yangtze River in the south. Therefore, these hundreds of thousands are not considered as elite naval forces, and the inevitable losses are not small.

After the war, less than half of Dongfang Lunming's original 280,000 navy forces remained, but these hundreds of thousands were enough to sweep the Yangtze River and completely destroy the entire defense of the'Chen Guo' along the Yangtze River. Therefore, Dongfang Lunming was just as Dongfanghong thought. He did not send his troops south to capture the city of'Jiujiang', nor did he intend to point his sword at Nanchang, the capital of the'Chen Kingdom'. Sailing down the river destroyed all the defenses on the Yangtze River of the'Chen Guo'.

King Dingnan closed his eyes and sat silently in the temporary commander's mansion of Chaisang. Next to him were five of his confidantes, five of the Thirteen Taibaos. In this battle, Yang Lin's three godsons died on the battlefield. , More than 200,000 soldiers stained the Yangtze River with blood, can the old man feel sad! Everyone quietly waited for the marshal's instructions, but Yang Lin never said a word.

At this time, the heroic female general quickly walked into the hall and said anxiously: "Father, Dongfang Lunming has not yet intended to attack'Jiujiang', and the'Qiguo' has not sent anyone up to now. Come, my daughter is worried about whether things will change! In case Dongfang Lunming descends along the river, your plan will be finished!"

Yang Lin opened his eyes and looked at his beloved little daughter in front of him. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, have you forgotten the qualities that a general should possess? Taishan collapsed before his face. You see. The way you are now, it seems that you still need more exercise!"

"But can my daughter be in a hurry!"

"Don't worry, Zheng Yuan will never sit back and watch Dongfang Lunming continue to grow. The new marshal of Qi State is coming soon." Yang Lin said confidently.

Really, like Yang Lin said,'Qi Guo' wants to change the coach? Then let's go back to the'Qi State' palace just after the end of the war.

When the war ended, Dongfang Lunming used the Eight Baili Express to present to the court. The emperor of Qi State announced the good news of the great victory in the south early the next morning, and the ruling and the opposition were full of joy. Another appointment was also issued at the same time. The general content is: Hussar General Dongfang Lunming has worked hard, and he is really the pillar of the country, and he has rewarded Dongfang Lunming... However, the navy of Nanying was seriously damaged in this battle, and the elite of Nanying was the elite of the country. There can be no more losses, so Dongfang Lunming was ordered to lead the renovation of Jiangbei of the'Nanying'. Marshal Nanzheng was succeeded by'King Wu'an' Zheng Xi, who immediately took office and so on.

It seems that Emperor Zheng Yuan of the Qi Kingdom did not surprise Dongfanghong and Yang Lin, and he changed his generals as soon as the navy master of the Kingdom of Chen was destroyed! The ministers in the imperial court had already thought of this decision by the same emperor, so no one came forward to oppose anyone including the Eastern family. The person being replaced was the emperor’s younger brother. Although this'King Wu'an' loved knives and guns since he was a child, he also often reads war strategies, but compared to Dongfang Lunming, the general who fought in battle on the battlefield, he is naturally It's not the same thing, let alone understand the'Chen Guo' like Dongfang Lunming. And no matter how humble a royal family like this is, he always has the inevitable shortcomings, that is, he is very happy, and once everything goes smoothly, he will be proud. Therefore, it is also destined that this'King Wu'an' will sprinkle the blood of hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the'Qi Kingdom' on the land of a foreign land.

Could it be that Zheng Yuan's decision to "Yingtian Pavilion" did not see the danger? Of course he could see it, but he could not persuade the emperor to change his mind. Zheng Yuan, the emperor, used to listen to this person's words, but this time Zheng Yuan did not follow the opinions of'Yingtian Pavilion', because Zheng Yuan also has his own ideas. In his opinion,'Yingtian Pavilion' is to support one person to unify the world.

Right now,'Yingtian Pavilion' is supporting itself. It is because'Qi Kingdom' is so powerful that it is most likely to dominate the world. But once someone else is stronger than Zheng Yuan, will'Yingtian Pavilion' still assist him? Zheng Yuan's answer is: No! 'Yingtian Pavilion' will only join forces with the strong, so they don't care who the world is in the end,'Yingtian Pavilion' only cares about who can win the world. Therefore, Zheng Yuan will always be stable for his position, and for the sake of his own country forever, he does not hesitate to take the risk to change.

Besides, in Zheng Yuan's view, the'Chen Guo' navy is over now, so there is no danger at all. And his younger brother is also familiar with the art of war, and he is definitely competent for the post of Marshal Nanzheng. But he forgot that he had read a lot of military books for the'Wu'an King', and they were all eloquent, but they were all on paper. How can such a young prince in his twenties who have not experienced a big battle be the opponent of the battle-tested veteran Yang Lin? Even a general like Dongfang Lunming couldn't say that he would definitely defeat Yang Lin.

Regardless of the attitudes of all parties,'Wu'an King' Zheng Xi still left to take office. Just before he left, the scribe from the'Yingtian Pavilion' asked him alone to follow Dongfang Lunming's advice when he arrived at the camp, and it is best to fight according to Dongfang Lunming's advice, and don't take risks. Although Zheng Xi didn't understand this person, he also knew that his emperor brother respected him very much, so he agreed very seriously. But will Jeong Seokjin do it? The scribe had no idea at all, he could only hope that this'King Wuan' would be obedient!

The news that King Wu'an took office was immediately passed to Yang Lin by the secret agents of the State of Chen in the capital of State of Qi. Yang Lin looked at the letter in his hand and smiled openly. This is since the army of State of Qi has suppressed the territory. He smiled happily for the first time. Not only the King Dingnan smiled, Dongfanghong also smiled, and everything was already advancing along the expected route.

When everyone was laughing, Dongfang Lunming was not happy. It is not that he is nostalgic for power, but that he is worried about the upcoming new coach. When Dongfang Lunming saw this'King Wu'an', he was shocked,'How can such a pampered young prince who can only talk about war on paper, can be Yang Lin's opponent' This is Dongfang Lunming's conclusion. But he had no choice but to hand over the Shuai Yin.

Fortunately, this prince seemed to have great respect for Dongfang Lunming, and asked in detail how to fight future battles? Dongfang Lunming naturally unreservedly told the other party about his original strategy, and analyzed the pros and cons for the young lord. And Zheng Xi also obviously obeyed the instructions of the master of Yingtian Pavilion. After Dongfang Lunming had analyzed him, Zheng Xi resolutely decided to proceed according to Dongfang Lunming’s original strategy, which made Dongfang Lunming rest assured. Less, as long as the'Wu'an King' adheres to the current strategy, there will be absolutely no big deal. So Dongfang Lunming took the remaining 50,000'Nanying' navy masters back to the station for training with peace of mind.

After Dongfang Lunming left, Zheng Xi immediately sent troops down the river, following Dongfang Lunming's deployment. Now Yang Lin's daughter anxiously came to her father again: "Father, what should I do? That'King Wu'an' still follows Dongfang Lunming's tactics!"

"Don't worry, you have seen a lot of princes like this for your father. Now with a humble and cautious attitude, once you let him win a few battles, hum! I promise my father that he will be overwhelmed. Tomorrow he will lead the 50,000 elite troops for his father. , Have fun with this kid." Yang Lin stroked his beard and said.

"Father, you want to personally lead troops to fight against the'Qi Kingdom'?"

"Yes, this time not only to let this'King Wu'an' be fooled, but also to prepare for the final battle. And these 50,000 elites are our key, so for the father, we must personally command to be at ease." Yang Lin solemnly proceeded to give orders: "Great Taibao Li Jin takes orders!"

"The end is here!" At this time, a burly general in his forties and dark complexion walked out and fell to his knees.

"Order you to lead the'Chai Sang' 130,000 soldiers to defend the city, never let the enemy move forward. You must remember to guard strictly, if the opponent is not defeated, you must never lead your troops to attack. When you see the enemy in chaos, then It shows that this commander has already led the troops to cut their way back, and then you can lead troops to attack inside and outside to annihilate the enemy."

"At the end, I will respect the general order!"

Yang Lin nodded, and then looked at the other generals and said: "You must assist General Li Jin in guarding the city with all your strength. If you neglect and slack off, you will be punished severely!"

"Subordinates wait for orders!" a dozen generals replied in unison.

"It's so true! You must listen to your elder brother, and don't mess with your little sex. Otherwise, you won't be able to spare you when you come back for the father."

"I know! Father, don't worry!" Yang Zhen is really the name of Yang Lin's daughter.

At this time, the guards came in and reported that: The chief of staff of the'Thunder God's Mercenary Group' came to see the general, and to discuss important matters with the general.

Yang Lin frowned upon hearing this, and to be honest, he almost forgot about these guys. Now this time the mercenary group is looking for him, don't know what will happen? But even if Xu Maogong doesn't come to him, he will ask someone to find the mercenary group. Two million taels of silver can't be spent for nothing! Naturally, this defending the city should let the mercenary group be at the forefront. Yang Lin would never worry that the mercenary group was the spies of the'Qi State', because the'Qi State' would not dare to use the'Tai Chi Palace' as the capital of the spies when he was willing.

Yang Zhenzhen listened to the mercenary group's request, and curled his lips in disdain. What kind of "Thunder God Mercenary Group" seemed to her! But it's just a bit stronger than the average thief, and it's not doing some sneaky activities. And if they hadn't burned the Tai Chi Hall of Qi State, Qi State wouldn't be able to crush the territory so quickly, so Yang Zhenzhen felt angry when he saw the mercenary group.

Of course, Yang Lin would not have the same knowledge as his daughter. Although Jie Li Khan did not say that his tent palace was looted by this group of people, he was able to burn the'Tai Chi Temple' unconsciously. This mercenary group should be somewhat capable. So Yang Lin dismissed the other generals, leaving only the Taibao Li Jin by his side, and Yang Zhen really wanted to stay alive and alive.

It seems that Dongfanghong is about to start acting, but I don't know what attention he will pay to'Dingnan King'? Can he persuade Yang Lin to follow his advice
