Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 667

[Chapter 667]

Dongping City.

While the Watanabe case was being lobbied, the Nanliang and Beidi armies arrived in Bozhou.

After six days of trekking, the army entered Qizhou mightily.

After another three days of marching, they arrived outside the city of Lu and set up camp.

“Hahaha… Brother Xiao.” As soon as the Nanliang army arrived, Han Zheng came out from Lucheng to greet him, and patted Xiao Cheng’s shoulder heavily.

During this time, the 200,000 troops of the Xie family had arrived.

Now that the troops from Nanliang and Beidi had arrived, he finally felt reassured.

Ever since he chose to give up the unimportant city, King Yan’s soldiers and horses were like a broken bamboo, and the eight counties other than the four counties in the southwestern part of Qi State all fell into the hands of King Yan.

Every time he heard that a certain city had fallen, he would suffer from insomnia all night, worrying and fearing in his heart.

In addition, what he was most worried about was that the troops of Nanliang and Beidi would violate the contract.

If this is the case, his Qi State will really perish.

That’s why he was so excited when Xiao Cheng’s army arrived.

Xiao Cheng recognized Han Zheng in the dragon robe at a glance.

Grabbing Han Zheng’s hand, he looked embarrassed, “Should I call Brother Han or His Majesty.”

Han Zheng smiled helplessly, “There is no need to be so polite between you and me, you can call Brother Han, give me a high look You can call him Your Majesty.”

Xiao Cheng was just joking with Han Zheng, but in the end he still respectfully called “Your Majesty.”

After all, Han Zheng was the one who facilitated the alliance between France and Yan.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, Xiao Cheng pointed to the Beidi general beside him, and said, “This is King Guertu.”

Han Zheng looked at Guertu, the joy on his face became stronger, and he hurriedly said, “King Guertu can come, This is my honor, the banquet in the palace has been prepared, and I will cleanse the dust for you personally.”

Guertu laughed loudly, “I want good meat and wine, and I also need beautiful women.”

Han Zheng laughed and said, “It’s natural. King Guertu came all the way to Lucheng to help us attack King Yan. Naturally, this small request must be met.”

Guertu smiled with satisfaction, “This time we have gathered an army of one million, and I have one hundred thousand Beidi cavalry. King Yan is doomed again this time. Don’t compete with me for King Yan’s head.”

“Hahaha…” Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this.

Since the soldiers all set up camp outside Lucheng, the white tents stretched from Lucheng to the distance.

Seeing such a powerful army, they couldn’t help but feel full of confidence.

After entering Lucheng, Han Zheng led the crowd to the imperial garden of the imperial palace.

At this time, Wang Zi’an and Xie Duan had been waiting for a long time with their two children, when they saw Xiao Cheng and Gu Ertu coming over, they stood up to greet each other at the same time.

After exchanging pleasantries, they seated Xiao Cheng and Gurtu.

Han Zheng ordered the maids to serve wine and food, and made them play music, sing and dance.

After drinking for three rounds, everyone’s faces turned red from the smell of alcohol, and the atmosphere became intense. Han Zheng raised his wine glass and toasted everyone, saying: “I am very happy that you can come as promised. With your help, we can defeat King Yan this time.” It’s as easy as flipping the palm of your hand.”

Xie Duan was drunk, and he said: “Since this is the case, why don’t you all discuss how to destroy the 120,000 King Yan’s army that crossed the Jin River.”

Han Zheng was anxious, and he was also anxious, after all If you can’t keep the Qi State, you can’t keep the Xie family’s territory. This is a matter of death.

While drinking just now, Xiao Cheng learned about the current situation in the Qizhou battlefield from the mouths of the generals.

After pondering for a while, he said: “We have come from a long distance, it is not appropriate to confront the King of Yan for a long time, we should fight quickly, I think we should take the initiative to destroy the 120,000 army of King Yan.”

Han Zheng frowned, and he said : “King Yan’s firearms have a very long range. If we take the initiative to attack and they defend the city, I’m afraid it will be very troublesome.”

Guertu nodded, “Your Majesty is right. Beidi suffered a great loss because of our blind attack on the city. We can’t suffer another loss. We should find a way to lure King Yan’s army out of the city and fight it decisively.

” Next, he said: “A horse in Pingchuan in Qizhou is suitable for our Beidi cavalry to kill

the enemy.” Wang Zi’an said: “The generals under King Yan are all as smart as monkeys. When they see a million troops coming, they will definitely hide in the city. It is impossible to take the initiative to fight with us.”

Xiao Cheng sneered, “Brother Wang, you are good at managing government affairs, but you are far behind in fighting. If they don’t come out, we will force them out.”

Wang Xie beside Wang Zi’an Nodding slightly, he thought of something, but didn’t speak, just waiting for Xiao Cheng’s next words.

I saw Xiao Cheng continued, “Why did the King of Yan take the initiative to go south? One is that he is arrogant and arrogant, thinking that he can defeat our Yan coalition forces; the other is that he does not want the war to happen on the land of Yanzhou. The state is the weakness of the king of Yan.”

“So, if they hide in the city, we will build a ship by the Jin River and pretend to attack Yanzhou. When the time comes, King Yan’s troops will either withdraw to Yanzhou and meet us on the opposite side of the Jin River. Confrontation, or you have to come out of the city and fight us decisively.”

Han Zheng’s eyes lit up, and he patted his thigh, “That’s right, Brother Xiao is absolutely right, King Yan just swallowed my eight counties in Qizhou. It is dividing the land and training the soldiers, they will not be willing to give up the eight counties and return to Yanzhou, then there is only one way left to fight us.”

Wang Xie said flatteringly: “”Xiao Xiao is indeed the leader of the world. Famous generals. Hearing this ,

Xiao Cheng showed a smug smile.

He continued: “If King Yan chooses to fight with us, the rest of the battle will be easy. I just hope that you will not begrudge the lives of the soldiers under your command, and work together to fight against Yan.” The king’s soldiers and horses will fight to the death. ”

Han Zheng said: “That’s right, this battle is related to the survival of our powerful clan, we should abandon the previous suspicions and unite as one, otherwise, if we lose the battle, we will be defeated one by one by King Yan, and we will have no power to recover. ”

Everyone agreed deeply and nodded.

Then Han Zheng said, “It will take some time for the troops of Wu and Nanping to arrive. Everyone, wait patiently for ten days and a half months. At the same time, let the generals of each family get to know each other well, so that they can cooperate tacitly in the final battle.” .”

Xiao Cheng nodded lightly, naturally he can’t fight these days.

Firstly, a long journey requires rest, and secondly, as Han Zheng said.

Although he said that the battle should be resolved quickly, in his opinion, it is inevitable that this war will last for two or three months.

But in the end, don’t delay it for a few years, otherwise the loss of food and grass will be too great, and it will be a heavy burden for all countries.
