"In short, according to the next view, Zhao Yan must separate Xianning and Fengning. Therefore, the sneak attack proposed by Lord Peng You will not work."
In Xingguo Army City, the main leaders of the princes' coalition forces from various princes gathered in the chamber to discuss plans for attacking Zhao Yanjun. As the first adviser to Xia Cheng, Zhang Huaxuan explained to Peng You, who had just made suggestions: "Zhao Yan is best at steadily and steadily. And his offense is often dominated by surprise attacks. Xianning almost came close a few days ago. Being taken down by us, how can he not be prepared at this time, and how can he fail to guard against these two?"
"Uh." After Zhang Huaxuan's refutation, Peng You also knew that he had made a bad idea. He couldn't help but blushed, but he felt embarrassed. His face was stern, and said: "It's a pity that the last attack on Xianning failed. Otherwise, we don’t need to worry about it here."
Hearing Peng You mentioning the battle of Xianning, Liu Guang's expression couldn't help but change, and Xia Cheng's expression was not much better. The sneak attack on Xianning was offered by Hu Zhuge, a think tank under Peng You’s account, who claimed to have beaten Zhuge Liang. It was originally considered to be quite stable, but it failed in the end. Only the general of the 20,000 army, Wang Gaoyi, under the account of Peng You, fled back, and even Liu Guang's eldest son Liu Tong and Xia Cheng's general Yang Lin died outside Xianning.
Of course, Liu Guang and Xia Cheng felt uncomfortable in their hearts. Especially Liu Guang, Liu Tong died in Xianning, but Liu Guang has nothing to say. After all, this time the coach is Liu Tong. This time he was defeated in the attack on Xianning. As the coach, Liu Tong should take responsibility. Now Liu Tong is dead. , Then Liu Guang can only take on the responsibility for Liu Tong.
Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene was a bit bad, Gao An hurriedly came out to make the rounds and smiled: "That's it! The matter is over, we don't need to continue to say this. My sirs. Now Zhao Yan's army has rushed to Xianning, then How should we respond now?" As he said, Gao An winked at Zhang Huaxuan.
Zhang Huaxuan also understood what Gao An meant, and he did not want Xia Cheng, Liu Guang and Peng You to fall out at this time, so he also changed the subject in cooperation with Gao An and said: "For the current plan, only a frontal attack is the only way to win Xianning. It is the right way. According to intelligence, when Zhao Yan set off from Jiangling this time, there were a total of more than 200,000 troops. During this time, he had to divide his troops to guard against Hanyang and Fengning. The number of soldiers and horses who wanted to be stationed in Xianning should not exceed 50,000. Our coalition has a total of more than 300,000 troops. If Zhao Yan’s 50,000 troops can be eliminated in Xianning, it would be equivalent to annihilating one of Zhao Yan’s main troops. At that time, Zhao Yan’s army will be half as powerful as ours. Even if Zhao Yan cannot be captured alive in this battle, Zhao Yanjun is not afraid."
"Master Zhang's opinion, I agree with me." Just after Zhang Huaxuan's words were said, Zhao Guang, who is Liu Guang's think tank, also nodded in agreement, and Zhao Guang's opinion also represents the opinion of Liu Guang.
"Zhang Huaxuan's words are just what I want." Tong Wenbo, who was sitting next to Gao An, smiled faintly, nodded and said, and Gao An also agreed when Tong Wenbo said so.
Three of the Quartet Rebels have already agreed, and Peng You is the only one left. Peng You's face is a bit ugly, and he obviously doesn't want to agree with this opinion. After all, most of his soldiers and horses are cavalry. If he attacked Xianning head-on, his soldiers and horses would not be useful at all, as if he had no credit for getting them. When the time comes, you will divide the spoils and the territory, and you will suffer.
Peng You turned his head and looked behind him, but Hu Zhuge nodded with a smile at him. Even Hu Zhuge meant that. Then Peng You could only listen to Hu Zhuge's opinion and said: "Since this is the case, then everything Just listen to the leader."
There is reluctance in Peng You's words, but at least now the opinions are finally unified, and Gao An is also relieved. In the alliance, he is the weakest, so he is also the least hopeful that the alliance will have a crisis. If the alliance is disbanded, then he will undoubtedly be attacked by the surrounding princes and even Emperor Zhao Gou.
Immediately Gao An turned his head and asked Zhang Huaxuan: "Master Zhang, I brought a total of 50,000 soldiers from the Fujian Road Army this time. Master Zhang was dispatched arbitrarily."
An army of 50,000 people is really nothing to the princes of all walks of life. In this alliance, the other three parties have brought more than 100,000 soldiers and horses. In contrast, Gao An’s possessions are somewhat It's too shabby, but this is what I have done.
Liu Guang didn't mean to laugh at Gao An. Instead, he said sternly: "Since Brother Gao An is so straightforward, then I don't need to hide it anymore, Master Zhang, I brought a total of 120,000 soldiers and horses. I leave it to you."
The reason why Gao An and Liu Guang are so simple is also because of their respective think tanks. The last time they gathered for the wise men and others, Zhao Guang had already seen that Zhang Huaxuan had the strongest commanding ability among the people. Moreover, Xia Cheng is now the leader of the coalition army, and it is more appropriate for the army to be handed over to Zhang Huaxuan. Most importantly, they believed that before defeating Zhao Yan, Xia Cheng would never seize their military power at this time.
This time, Peng You didn't follow to express his position, but was silent. Like Wang Gaoyi, Peng You still has some lumps in Xia Cheng's heart. Such a combination is still within the range that Peng You can accept. But if Peng You surrendered the military power he had on hand, and gave it to Xia Cheng, Peng You would not be able to accept it.
Zhang Huaxuan could have guessed what Peng You thought. He didn't expect Peng You to hand over his military power. Dang Even smiled and said to Liu Guang and Gao An: "Please rest assured, I will definitely not let you down. "Zhang Huaxuan would be a man, he didn't name him specifically, but just passed them all, lest Peng You be embarrassed.
Liu Guang snorted, but glanced at Peng You contemptuously, then turned his head and said to Zhang Huaxuan: "Master Zhang is polite. I am all loyal to the Song Dynasty and absolutely selfless. Unlike some people, hum !" Liu Guang was also exasperated by Peng You's words before, so he didn't hold back, and started mocking Peng You. It's no wonder that Liu Guang's son died in the battle, but Peng You was still talking coldly there, and no one could bear it.
Hearing Liu Guang still didn't hold back it, Gao An and the others secretly screamed. Sure enough, before Gao An could speak to persuade him, the temperamental Peng You stood up and pointed at Liu Guang and yelled: "Liu Guang! What do you mean by this?"
"Huh." Liu Guang and Tiger is not a timid person. Liu Guang also stood up and shouted coldly: "What do you mean by my words, you know in your heart. Do you want me to explain it? Everyone before. I vowed together. I want to do my best for Kuangfu Da Song. But what about you? You are not willing to let go by dragging the military power. What is it that is not hiding your selfishness? Is it possible that I have wronged you?"
"Too much deception." As soon as Peng You heard it, he immediately pulled out the single blade on his waist, pointed at Liu Guang, and shouted: "If your son hadn't commanded indiscriminately, how could my carefully trained cavalry break so much? According to your style of play, wouldn't all of my soldiers and horses be defeated by you. How dare I give them to you again?"
Peng You repeatedly mentioned Liu Tong, who was already dead, and Liu Guang, who was in pain after losing his son, was even more furious. With a choke, he drew out the war knife from his waist, and with a vigorous wave, he directly chopped down the low table next to him. Two halves, said: "Do you think you have a knife? It seems that I didn't teach you a good lesson today. You really thought I was afraid of you."
Seeing that the two had moved their swords, even Xia Cheng couldn't sit still. He and Gao An pulled Liu Guang and Peng You one by one, finally pulling the two away.
Xia Cheng took Liu Guang's arm and persuaded, "Brother Liu Guang calmed down. Quit your anger. Now that the enemy is now, we should all be outside. Don't hurt your peace. It's not worth it! It's not worth it!"
On the other side, Gao An also saved Peng You and persuaded him bitterly: "Brother Peng. Hurry up and put away the knife. Everyone is their own, why do they need to use the knife and gun to be so serious? Come on, drink tea and calm down.
"Huh!" Xia Cheng and Gao An persuaded them. In addition, Zhao Guang and Hu Zhuge were also discouraging their own masters. Liu Guang and Peng You both retracted their weapons and hummed coldly before sitting on their own. The location is sulking. Seeing that the two had finally stopped, Xia Cheng and Gao An breathed a sigh of relief, smiled bitterly at each other, and sat back to their respective positions. Xia Cheng said to Zhang Huaxuan, "Zhang Huaxuan, please continue."
Zhang Huaxuan saluted Xia Cheng, and then continued: "According to the analysis of Zhao Yan's previous fighting style, I believe that Zhao Yan will definitely divide his troops this time. There are two methods for him to divide his troops. The first is to start from Hongzhou and invade the territory of Liu Guangda; the second is to raided from Xinzhou, Fuzhou, and enter your territory, Lord Xia."
When Zhang Huaxuan said this, Zhao Guang frowned and said, “If you invade Hongzhou and Nanchang, you don’t need to worry. With the deployment of the Zhao army, the most likely Wugong landscape army led by Wang Zongshi. But. If the Wugong Landscape Army dares to go ashore to fight our army, it is absolutely impossible to cause any harm to our army. On the contrary, it is possible to fail."
"Yeah." Zhang Huaxuan also nodded and said, "Xia Xia thinks so too, so if Xia didn't guess wrong, if Zhao Yan dared to divide his troops and attack, then the target must be Fuzhou. From the perspective of Zhao Yanjun's deployment, the most significant The troops that may carry out Zhao Yan's strategy of dividing the troops should be Zhao Yan's Qingqi."
"Report." Before Zhang Huaxuan's words were finished, a shout came from outside, and a soldier hurried into the chamber, fisted and bowed to Xia Cheng, shouting loudly: Your Excellency. General Yang Lin and General Liu Tong, son of Liu Guang, returned to Xingguo Army City and are now seeking a meeting outside the government."
"What!" Hearing the news from the soldier, Liu Guang immediately jumped high, and Zhao Guang behind Liu Guang also looked at the soldier with excitement. Before that, they thought that Liu Tong had already died in the battle, but at this time Liu Tong suddenly jumped out, which made them both surprised and happy.
Xia Cheng is obviously also very excited. Although Yang Lin is not Xia Cheng's real brother, as a relatively outstanding member of the generation cultivated by the Xia family, he is loyal to Xia Cheng. Xia Cheng has always valued this younger brother of the foreign surname. I heard that Yang Lin died in battle, but Xia Cheng was not less sad. I didn't expect that now that Yang Lin was lost and recovered, would Xia Cheng be unhappy? Immediately, Xia Cheng shouted to the soldier: "What are you waiting for, let them in quickly."
Upon hearing the military order, the soldier immediately retreated, and soon Liu Tong and Yang Lin walked in under the leadership of the soldier. It's just that these two people are not as prestigious as they used to be. They are all dressed in dust and dust, and they are not wearing armor. They are just wearing coarse cloth clothes worn by ordinary people. There are many damages on them. Needless to say, they must be on the way. Suffered a lot of crimes.
As soon as the two entered the chamber and saw Xia Cheng and Liu Guang in the hall respectively, their eyes were red. Liu Tong walked quickly to Liu Guang, bowed down to Liu Guang, and shouted: " The child has seen his father."
"Okay! Okay!" Liu Guang also had red eyes, and shouted hello twice in a row. One helped Liu Tong up and shouted: "Just come back. Get up. You have been working hard on this journey, and you will go back later. Rinse well. Look at you like this, there is still a little bit of my Liu Guang’s son’s aura.” After speaking, he patted Liu Tong's shoulder vigorously, but a lot of dust was spotted.
On the other side, Yang Lin was much calmer. He walked quickly to Xia Cheng, fisted at Xia Cheng and said, "I will see you in the end."
Xia Cheng also smiled and nodded, and said: "Yeah! Yang Lin. I have suffered a lot along the way. Ha ha. These days, the generals and the generals have been making trouble in front of me, saying that they want to avenge you." Although Cheng's words were calm, he could tell from the expression in his eyes that Xia Cheng was also very excited about Yang Lin's resurrection.
"Master Xia." After Liu Tong and Liu Guang said a few words, they suddenly walked to Xia Cheng's front and shouted at Xia Cheng: "General Yang Lin and I came to see Master Xia in such a hurry. Report to Master Xia the real situation outside Xianning that day, so that you will not be deceived by the villain." After speaking, Liu Tong turned his head and glared at Peng You. Immediately afterwards, Liu Tong recounted what had happened outside Xianning that day.
When Liu Tong said that Wang Gaoyi actually intended to kill Liu Tong and Yang Lin, Peng You was completely dumbfounded, and Xia Cheng and Liu Guang also turned their heads and glared at the same time. They didn't doubt what Liu Tong said, this kind of thing can't be faked at all. As long as Wang Gaoyi is called to confront him, the truth will be revealed.
However, although Xia Cheng and Liu Guang believed in Liu Tong, they were not too partial, and immediately Xia Cheng said to Peng You: "Brother Peng. I can't just listen to Liu Tong's words on this matter, so I will ask Peng again. Brother, please bring General Jia up to confront Liu Tong."
Of course, Peng You also understands that Liu Tong will not lie. In fact, when Wang Gaoyi had just escaped back, he had thoughts of suspicion in his mind when he heard Wang Gaoyi's words. Just out of resentment towards Xia Cheng, Peng You subconsciously chose to listen to Wang Gaoyi's words. Unexpectedly, there was such a big oolong now, so Peng You didn't know how to deal with it for a while. Fortunately, there was Hu Zhuge behind Peng You. Hu Zhuge immediately stepped forward and said to everyone: "Everyone, this matter must be investigated. If it proves that General Wang Gaoyi framed Major General and General Xia. Then my lord is not sure. I will spare him. My lord, why not go to General Wang Gaoyi now." Finally, Hu Zhuge didn't forget to mention Peng You.
After receiving Hu Zhuge's reminder, Peng You woke up and said hurriedly: "Yes! Yes! I will go to Wang Gaoyi. If he really framed Liu Tong. Then I can't spare him." After finishing, Peng You left the chamber angrily.
And Hu Zhuge also got up and smiled bitterly, bowed his hands to everyone, turned around and chased Peng You away. Seeing Hu Zhuge's departure, Tong Wenbo's brows couldn't help but frowned, but he quietly walked to Zhang Huaxuan's side and asked in a low voice, "Zhang Huaxuan, what is the origin of this Hu Zhuge? You can find out. ?"
Zhang Huaxuan also frowned and replied: "Well, I just heard that this person is very resourceful, but I don't know how he caught up with Peng You. Why? You also feel something is wrong with this person?"
Tong Wenbo nodded and said, "Although this person is by Peng You's side, I always feel that he doesn't seem to be very dedicated to Peng You. It seems to have a different purpose. This person's talents are all superior. We must be careful from now on."
Peng You and Hu Zhuge walked for a long time before rushing back. As soon as Peng You entered the door, everyone saw his face pale, so naturally there was no need to ask about the result. Liu Guang said: "Peng You! Let you give us an explanation today."
When Liu Guang asked so much, Peng You's face darkened again. As his cheek twitched a few times, he finally took a deep breath and waved his hand to a soldier who followed in behind him. The soldier stepped forward, and everyone discovered that there was a tray in the soldier's hand, which was covered by a coarse cloth. Without saying anything, Peng You grabbed the piece of coarse cloth and pulled it hard. Whenever he saw what was on the tray, everyone couldn't help but sucked in air. It turned out that there was a bloody head on the tray.
Peng You lost the rough cloth, and then said to everyone: "Wang Gaoyi dared to lie to me. Just now I went to question him, and he finally told the truth. I was angry and killed him. It is also considered to be given to him. Major General and General Xia made amends."
Everyone didn't expect Peng You to kill Wang Gaoyi in this way. Everyone looked at each other. Originally, Liu Guang was still full of anger, but Peng You's hand directly solved the source of Liu Guang's anger, which made Liu Guang's full anger nowhere to vent. At the back, Tong Wenbo and Zhang Huaxuan also glanced at each other, both of them saw a trace of doubt in each other's eyes. With Peng You's hot temperament, this is justified, but I don't know why, but the two people's minds are put on Hu Zhuge, who is silent behind Peng You.
And Zhao Guang, who was next to Liu Guang, also narrowed his eyes, took a step forward, gently pulled Liu Guang's arm, then smiled and threw a fist at Peng You and said: "Master Peng You can think about the overall situation, I really admire him. With Master Peng You as an example, I believe that our battle with Zhao Yanjun will be smoother in the future. We will surely eradicate Zhao Yanqiang thief and eradicate internal troubles for Da Song as soon as possible. In the future, we will go north to fight against Jin and Qi army and unite the world!"
And Liu Guang also understood with Zhao Guang's suggestion, knowing that it is not the time to turn his face with Peng You. If it is really torn apart, Peng You and Xia Cheng will not have a big problem, but Liu Guang will face Zhao Yan's invasion directly. Immediately Liu Guang also took a deep breath and said to Peng You: "Brother Peng. Since the first evil has been eliminated and Liu Tong is fine, then this is the case. From now on, we need to work together to eliminate the strong. The enemy is."
Liu Guang said so, and Peng You's expression also eased a lot. The two of them said a few words of politeness, and Peng You waved his hand and asked the soldier to get Wang Gaoyi's head off. Everyone was reconciled as before, and under Xia Cheng's signal, the meeting resumed the previous peace again. Zhang Huaxuan thought for a while, and continued with the interrupted topic: "I just said below that if Zhao Yan invades Fuzhou, that Qingqi is the most likely to be sent."
