Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 405

[Chapter 405]

“Hahaha…” The

next morning.

Zhao Xu and Chang Wei laughed loudly as they looked at the bowl-sized gap at the base of the bastion wall.

“Your Highness, this concrete is really powerful, otherwise the city wall would have had a hole the size of a bucket.” Chang Wei laughed.

The word concrete was taught to him by King Yan, and he is learning it and using it now.

“If it’s an ordinary bastion, why should I build it?” Zhao Xu was full of pride, “This time, even if the Beidi people have artillery, they can’t do anything with the bastion.”

Chang Wei nodded, feeling very happy.

After inspecting the bastion, the two of them who had stayed up midnight went back to catch up on sleep. Qin Shan also went down the city wall and was guarded by other generals.

…

Weng City.

Tanma has already sent here the movements of the Ma family and the Xiao family.

Knowing that the Ma family and the Xiao family were blocked by Weicheng and Baocheng respectively, Zhao Heng asked Tan Ma to go out.

The second prince smiled and said: “Father, the Ma family and the Xiao family are lagging behind us a lot this time. I think that there is no need to wait any longer, and we should go one step ahead.”

Hearing this, Zhao Heng couldn’t help but feel moved.

The successful start this time made his ambition grow.

With such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he just wanted to make the most of the Northern Expedition and show the emperor’s meritorious deeds.

Thinking of this, he nodded, “In this case, let’s send troops to Xiancheng!”

“Your Majesty, you must not go deep alone.” Yang Feng was shocked, and hurriedly knelt in front of Zhao Heng to stop him.

He knew that the emperor was extremely happy.

But on weekdays, he just takes credit for himself everywhere, it doesn’t matter.

But how can such a major event that affects the rise and fall of the Northern Expedition be done for credit.

Then, he glared at the second prince fiercely, “Second Highness, what is your intention to deceive the emperor again and again? The movement of Beidi is unknown, but you keep urging and supervising the Chinese army to go to Xiancheng. Is it a big taboo in military strategists?”

Since the only remaining man in the Yang family was this 70-year-old veteran, and he no longer had the slightest influence in the imperial army, Zhao Qu had long since ignored Yang Feng.

Now Yang Feng scolded himself in front of his father, he was furious immediately.

“Bold Yang Feng, I have never bewitched my father, but you have repeatedly relied on the old to sell the old and messed around.” Zhao Qu shouted, “If you listen to your words in the battle of Wengcheng, how can you capture nearly 70,000 Xiliang? Bing, I am afraid that he has already gone to Xiancheng and became the help of Xiancheng.”

When he came to Yang Feng’s side, he also knelt down to Zhao Heng, “Father, please make the decision for my son. None of the strategies offered are wrong.”

Yang Feng sneered and said, “Second prince has a good tongue, this general is the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition, all military orders should come from me, and orders are prohibited, but the second prince Repeatedly disrupting the morale of the army in front of the emperor, if your highness is not the prince, the veteran would have already dealt with it by military law.” The

second prince’s face changed, “How dare you!”

Yang Feng ignored the second prince and bowed his hands to Zhao Heng, “Your Majesty, King Yan is not in the northwest this time. , if something goes wrong, I’m afraid no one can turn the tide!”

Zhao Heng frowned upon hearing this.

Originally, Yang Feng knelt down to stop him, but he was a little hesitant.

But Yang Feng compared it with King Yan again, and he was immediately annoyed.

“What? You mean that I led the army to win the battle, and this was deliberately allowed by Xiliang? Only King Yan can win the battle?” Zhao Xu patted the seat heavily.

“Your Majesty, that’s not what the last general meant.” Seeing Zhao Heng’s displeasure, Yang Feng quickly explained.

“Father, could it be that without King Yan, the Northern Expedition can’t be fought this time?” Yang Feng talked about King Yan, and the second prince was jealous and annoyed, provoking words.

Zhao Heng frowned even tighter.

Yang Feng always mentions King Yan, it seems that without King Yan, they can’t do anything.

If the King of Yan also came to the Northern Expedition this time, even if he won, other people would say that it was the King of Yan’s contribution again!

Thinking of this, he was suddenly a little annoyed.

I have worked so hard to drive my own conquest, isn’t it just a formality?

Furthermore, he now firmly believes that King Yan’s repeated victories are indeed related to artillery.

Since the Chinese army also has artillery, he may not be invincible.

So he said: “Don’t say too much, I have made up my mind, and I will send troops to Xiancheng tomorrow.”

“Father is wise!” The second prince was overjoyed.

If he can take Xiancheng smoothly and return to the capital, his father will definitely give him a credit.

“Your Majesty!” Yang Feng refused to get up, “If your Majesty insists on doing this, the general will not be able to kneel down forever.”

Zhao Heng snorted, and said, “There is some truth in what the Second Prince said. If you want to kneel, then kneel.”

After that, he walked out of the tent.

The second prince sneered again and again, and followed Zhao Heng out.

Yang Feng’s face turned pale at this moment, the thing he was most worried about still appeared.

After all, the emperor couldn’t control his overjoyed temper.

Now, he regretted supporting Zhao Heng Yujia’s personal expedition.

Just like what Mi Yan said, Zhao Heng is so overjoyed, his nature is hard to change.

The second prince’s intentions are not right, and there are many generals in the army who are determined to have a nest with the second prince.

Unexpectedly, all of these and so on were covered by his words.

With a long sigh, he almost uttered the word “faint king”.

But he swallowed it hard, he knew that if he scolded Zhao Heng, it would only make Zhao Heng angry and distrust him even more.

“Hey…” Looking up, Yang Feng sighed heavily.

next day.

The 400,000 troops began to march towards Xiancheng.

Two days later, they arrived at the city of Xiancheng.

At this time, Gu Le, Wu Yan, and Ma Jin stood at the top of the city, watching the Da Song army approaching slowly.

The army of more than 400,000 people stretched like a long snake on the official road, with no end in sight.

“Hahaha, it seems that the rumor that the Great Song Emperor is very happy is true, and it really hit the trick.” Gu Le said.

Before Dasong’s Northern Expedition, Li Xin advised their Shan Yu Murong Hao that they could adopt a strategy of luring the enemy to go deep.

The reason for this is the nature of the emperor.

Now, really hit the nail on the head.

“How is Beidi’s army now?” Gu Le asked a general beside him.

“Returning to the leader, we are crossing the river at the moment. About 100,000 soldiers and horses have crossed the Jin River and assembled in the south of Yongzhou. Go off and cut off the Dasong grain road,” said the general.

“Hmph, Da Song’s Northern Expedition army is doomed this time. After they set up camp, we will go out of the city to fight and continue to lure them to Yongzhou.” Gu Le said.

The plan to lure the enemy to go deep has only just begun, and Wengcheng is just a small bait.

Xiancheng is the bigger bait.

They will continue to feign defeat in Xiancheng, flee to Yongzhou, and wait for them to continue their pursuit to Yongzhou.

At that time, they will catch them all with Beidi cavalry.

“Hahaha…” All three of them laughed as they thought of the scene where Da Song’s soldiers and horses were wiped out.

I can’t bear to let the child not be caught by the wolf.

They sacrificed so many Xiliang soldiers, and it’s time to reap the rewards.
