The emergency military order Zhu Wen sent last night to the barracks. By the time he and Venerable Baihe caught up with the main force of the army, more than 300,000 feudal town troops were waiting in line in the camp and on the boats.
Because of the existence of monks, the news of Zhu Yin's defeat in Yuanju County yesterday had spread like wildfire in the barracks, and the soldiers couldn't help talking about it. When Zhu Wen entered the camp, he listened to all directions. His cultivation base in the fairyland allowed him to hear the voices of a hundred people clearly in his ears.
"I heard that it took only an hour for the Pinglu army to completely disrupt the formation of the Xuanwu army...the latter had no time to resist and fled along the Baigou in a hurry. It's been dyed red, and it lasts for more than ten miles, it's too miserable!" A small principal of the Zhongwu Army sighed heartily.
"It really only took an hour? That's the Xuanwu Army! When they attacked our Xuzhou, they were so fierce and fierce... . . . "
"Indeed, it only took an hour. My wife's natal family had a second-level general who practiced Qi training. He told me himself after he escaped. You must know that the general who led the Xuanwu Army was Zhu Yin—Zhu Yin's name. You should have heard of it? He is the most valiant general under the command of the commander, and it is rumored that he has the realm of a military general!"
"It turned out to be General Zhu Yin, he is my role model! He has 50,000 soldiers and horses, how could he be defeated so quickly by the Pinglu Army? How many soldiers and horses have the Pinglu Army dispatched? Could it be that there are 100,000 troops?!"
"There is no 100,000 troops, and only 8,000 elite cavalry can really disrupt the formation of the Xuanwu Army..." Xiaoxiao's voice was difficult.
"Eight thousand fine riders? How is that possible..."
"If you knew who was leading the Pinglu army, it wouldn't seem impossible."
"Who? Wait! Could it be..."
"That's right, it's Shangguan Qingcheng!"
"So that's how... I heard that Shangguan Qingcheng and her Spike are very fierce, but I didn't expect to be so powerful..."
"Hey, if we encounter Spike City, we won't be able to stop them at all. I hope we don't encounter them on the battlefield."
"Spike Du that even Zhu Yin can't stop, who among us can match? It's time for a duel on the battlefield, heh... You and I must be smart, don't lose our lives!"
"Keep your voice down! If you dare to say such words, don't let the Xuanwu Army hear it, or you and I will lose our heads!"
"...The Xuanwu Army can't beat the Pinglu Army by themselves, and if they encounter it, they will retreat. Do we want us to go up and die?"
"Exactly! What kind of talented and bold man is King An, and there are more than one powerful general under his command, Liu Dazheng, Zhao Polu, Zhao Weihuang... Which one is easy to deal with? The commander has no Zhu Yin, What are you going to fight with King An?"
"Hey, this time the commander-in-chief clashed with King An. There was no sense of righteousness in the first place. The soldiers under his command were not as strong as the opponent. All he could rely on was Taoism. But King An also had monster monks to help him, so he might not lose. Give Daomen... "
"... It seems that this time we will go to battle, we are in danger!"
"Stop talking, people from the Xuanwu Army are here, let's go!"
Hearing these discussions, Zhu Wen's eyes were gloomy.
He knew that the vanguard army was suddenly defeated and Zhu Yin was captured by Shangguan Qingcheng, which would inevitably cause some shock in the army, but he did not expect that the soldiers were so afraid of the Pinglu army.
Zhu Wen secretly hated: "This gang of mobs did more than succeed than fail! This is just a loss for a while, and the fighting spirit is so low. How can such a fool achieve great things?"
Thinking of the end, Zhu Wen could hardly restrain his contempt for the Fanzhen army in his heart, thinking how could he be a hero, Ying Ming I, mixed up with this bunch of trash? What a fucking team of pigs!
But there is no way, these people are now his army, and he must find a way to reverse the bleak situation of the army.
"King An shouldn't have to worry about this..." Zhu Wen suddenly thought of this, and immediately felt very uncomfortable in his heart.
As the victor in the Battle of Yuanju County, Li Ye didn't need to worry about morale. Even if it is troublesome, I am afraid it is troublesome that the generals are asking for a fight one after another, so he can't leave anyone behind.
Zhu Wen came to the big tent of the Chinese army and ordered the envoys to beat drums and gather the generals.
Before the arrival of the generals, he sat in the commander's seat and thought about how to revive morale.
When the generals arrived one after another, Zhu Wen's mood became a little brighter, because the Jiedu envoys and generals of the towns did not show their fear of war on their faces.
"The Pinglu army reinforced Caozhou, and the vanguard was defeated in Yuanju County. What do you think about this?" Zhu Wen asked slowly.
The generals looked at me and I looked at you, and then, beyond Zhu Wen's expectations, they made generous speeches one after another.
"Pioneer's defeat is just that General Zhu Yin has just landed, his foothold is not stable, and the Spikes suddenly attacked, General Zhu Yin was unprepared. Even if he loses this battle, it doesn't mean anything! The last general suggested that the soldiers should pay grievances immediately. In other words, fight to the death with the Pinglu Army!" Zhongwu Army Jiedu envoy said.
"What Zhou Shuai said is that we have millions of troops attacking Pinglu on several fronts, and Liang Liye has no time to mobilize Hebei soldiers and horses to deploy layers of defense. As long as we can break into the Pinglu army's defense line, we will win a big victory!" It is the Jiedushi of Wuning Army.
"What Zhang Shuai said is very true. The defeat of a mere 50,000 soldiers and horses does not mean anything! Now that the Pinglu Army has just won a big victory, they must be arrogant and negligent. As long as we concentrate our forces to counterattack, we can take Caozhou in one fell swoop!" A general of the Heyang Army said.
"As it should be..."
"The end will be seconded..."
"..."
Hearing the passionate words of the generals, all of whom were full of fighting spirit, Zhu Wen almost thought he was hallucinating—the morale of these generals was so high
An unconcealable smile gradually appeared in Zhu Wen's eyes.
It seems that the soldiers and horses of these feudal towns are not all idiots.
"It should be when this commander pacified the towns in the Central Plains. They deeply understood the power of my Xuanwu army and Taoist soldiers, and they had full confidence in this commander... Well, these Jiedu envoys and generals have really good knowledge. Those low-level soldiers are different, it seems that the military spirit is still available." Zhu Wen thought to himself.
His gloomy mood became sunny, and the eyes of the people were full of admiration. He didn't know where he had thrown the judgments about the soldiers, horses and pigs in each town before.
After all the generals had expressed their views, Zhu Wen said with a smile on his face: "Everyone is right. Although the Pinglu army won a small victory in Yuanju County, they came from a long distance, and the ones who arrived could only be The vanguard, the main force will definitely not arrive. And their soldiers will be exhausted after a fierce battle, this is our opportunity!"
Speaking of this, Zhu Wen has already made up his mind, "I have decided to send an elite army to counterattack Yuanju County. My Xuanwu Army..."
What he wanted to say was "My Xuanwu Army was defeated for a while before, and this battle is an unshirkable responsibility, and we must regain the scene."
There is a reason for this.
As he just said, the next battle is likely to be won, which can effectively boost the morale of the army, and he is most assured that only the Xuanwu Army will fight.
But Zhu Wen thought about it again, the morale of the Jiedu envoys and generals in each feudal town was high, so he chose an elite team from them to accompany him. Let them also make some easier credits, which will help set an example for other military forces.
The commander of this army must be determined and loyal to him.
So Zhu Wen stared at the generals full of expectation, and said with an undiminished smile: "Although the counterattack on Yuanju County may win, the Pinglu Army should not be underestimated. It cannot be ruled out that it may be a tough battle...Who of you would take the risk? This important task?"
Judging from the reaction of the generals just now, Zhu Wen thought that when he said this, everyone would call for a fight.
However, his voice fell, but no one spoke at all.
All the generals focused their attention on a small group of people—those generals of the Xuanwu Army.
It seems that in the eyes of the generals, only Xuanwu Army generals are suitable for this task.
Zhu Wen smiled and said: "My Xuanwu Army will naturally fight in this battle, but I also need an elite team to help. Which of you is willing to lead the army with you?"
The hall was silent.
All the generals lowered their heads.
For a moment, needles could be heard in the huge military tent, and there was a stiff and awkward atmosphere.
No one spoke to me.
The generals who were clamoring to counterattack the Pinglu army just now looked down at the ground, as if there were mountains of gold and silver in front of their toes. Zhu Wen's heart skipped a beat: What's going on? Why did the generals react so suddenly? It is easy to succeed in counterattacking Yuanju County. According to their reaction just now, shouldn't they rush to fight at this time? Why don't you talk anymore
Zhu Wen was a little dazed.
His face darkened: "Why, are all the generals unwilling to fight? Is it because it is too difficult to counterattack Yuanju County?"
No one spoke.
It seems like everyone agrees to this.
In the end, because he really couldn't stand his gaze, the Jiedu Envoy of the Zhongwu Army said in a low voice: "Commander, the counterattack on Yuanju County is a matter of great importance, and only the Xuanwu Army can protect it. It will drag down the Xuanwu Army... "
The person who spoke was the Jiedu Envoy of the Zhongwu Army appointed by Zhu Wenxin, so he was naturally his.
But what he said clearly expressed his attitude.
Zhu Wen immediately understood everything.
This group of feudal envoys and generals didn't have any fighting spirit at all, and they didn't dare to fight the Pinglu army at all! The reason why he showed high fighting spirit before was just to make him happy and afraid that he would get angry!
Let them say that it is no problem to defeat the Pinglu Army, but if they are really asked to fight, they don't have the guts at all!
As soon as Zhu Wen said that they were going to fight, they looked at the generals of the Xuanwu Army, making it clear that they just wanted to be spectators, to see if the Xuanwu Army could counterattack successfully, and whether they had the strength to defeat the Pinglu Army!
If the Xuanwu Army wins, they will naturally let go of some fear, but if the Xuanwu Army loses...
After thinking about this, Zhu Wen was furious, and overturned Shuai's case in one go!
Even his people have such an attitude. It is conceivable how much psychological shadow the Pinglu army caused to the soldiers and horses in the towns in the battle of Yuanju County!
Zhu Wen gritted his teeth and stared at the generals: "The Pinglu army is so terrifying, can it make you fearful like this?!"
The generals lowered their heads and remained silent.
This attitude shows that the Pinglu Army is indeed that terrible.
Zhu Wen couldn't help roaring: "Speak to me, and cut off the tongues of those who don't speak!"
The Jiedu Envoy of the Zhongwu Army bit the bullet and said: "Commander, King An... King An Li Ye has repeatedly defeated powerful enemies since he became famous, and he hasn't... never lost. I heard... ... I heard that he had achieved the Immortal Realm a long time ago, and in the Yaozu... he also got the second ray of heavenly secrets. I can't do anything to him, and I will be killed by him... "
He didn't say any more, and knelt down on the ground with a plop, "The last general made a slip of his tongue, please be punished by the commander-in-chief!"
The Jiedu envoy and the generals of the feudal town looked at each other, and they all fell to their knees in a hurry, "Please punish me, Commander!"
This scene made Zhu Wen couldn't help taking a step back, his hands and feet were cold.
Li Yeping Huang Chao's rebellious army, and Li Keyong's Hedong army were destroyed. They have never lost in the general trend of the war along the way.
Moreover, he became the three towns of De, Yiwu, and Lulong without bloodshed, and Henghai, Tianping, and Zhaoyi have long been the only ones to look after him.
Over the years, Li Ye killed countless immortals, even He Jingcheng died in his hands.
With such a strong record, how could the generals of the feudal town not be afraid of Li Ye from the bottom of their hearts
In this battle with Pinglu Army, it would be fine if Zhu Yin was not defeated, but Zhu Yin's 50,000 elite were defeated by Langya in Yuanju County in only an hour. Isn't it clear at a glance whether the Xuanwu Army and the Lu Army are stronger or weaker
Under such circumstances, who would dare to easily confront Pinglu's army and touch King An's bad luck
Looking at the kneeling generals in the tent, Zhu Wen suddenly felt extreme anger, sadness, humiliation and unwillingness.
These generals knelt down to him, ostensibly because they did not dare to bear his anger, but in fact they did not dare to fight the Pinglu army. In other words, those people who knelt down in front of him were not afraid of him, Zhu Wen, but were afraid of King An and Li Ye who hadn't even appeared here!

Zhu Wen fell to the ground all of a sudden.
With such a general and such morale, what would he use to compete with Li Ye's army
The tent was as silent as night.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhu Wen's weak voice sounded: "Send the order, and the army will build fortifications on the spot to defend against the invasion of Pinglu's army."
