Episode 10 Chapter 580
Chapter 580
As far as the Sichuan Army is concerned, the Huan Army was defeated too quickly at Dahe Mountain. It was so fast that it was beyond imagination. It was an army of 400,000 people. Even if they stood still, it would be difficult for the coalition forces to cut and kill them. The latest chapter of killing for several days!
After receiving the battle report of the defeat in Dahe Mountain, Xue Rong, the head coach of the Sichuan reinforcements, said it was incredible three times in a row. At the same time, he was deeply saddened by the death of veteran general Hu Liang. Please familiarize yourself with the domain name "" (_)
Deputy Commander Jin Zhuo smiled bitterly at Xue Rong and said: "General, you should have seen by now that this battle to support Huan will not be easy to fight!"
Back then, when the Four Kingdoms conquered the wind, Jin Zhuo served as the deputy commander of the Sichuan Army. Although the Sichuan Army was not defeated by the Feng Army in the end, it still retreated in defeat. From that time on, Jin Zhuo's mind Position Feng State as Sichuan State's number one enemy in the future.
"King Feng personally took charge of the detailed work, sneaked into the Huan army camp, and used the strategy to penetrate the enemy deeply. This courage is really admirable!" Xue Rong put down the battle report in his hand with a smile and sighed.
The Xue family he belonged to was one of the oldest traditional nobles in Sichuan. Xue Rong was of noble birth, pampered and arrogant to the extreme. It was a rare thing for him to have words of praise come out of his mouth.
Jin Zhuo and Xue Rong are similar in age and have similar backgrounds. They have known each other since childhood. They have been friends since they were young and have talked about everything. They have a deep friendship. Jin Zhuo held his shoulders and said worriedly: "Qian Chong's entire army has been annihilated. The Huan Kingdom's court can only send an army of 200,000 at best. Even if it joins our army, it is probably difficult to be an opponent of the coalition. General, Now we should write back to the court immediately and ask the king to send more reinforcements!"
Xue Rong curled his lips, looked at Jin Zhuo strangely, and asked with a smile: "Jin Zhuo, are you frightened by Feng Ren? Before the fight, he asked the king for help first. If this news comes back to the court, "It would be strange if you and I are not laughed out of our minds."
"But the current situation in Huan Kingdom can no longer be controlled by our 300,000 reinforcements. """ Jin Zhuo said seriously: "In case of a defeat in the war and large-scale battle losses in the army, the request at that time A hundred thousand reinforcements cannot stop it."
"You don't want to emulate other people's ambitions and destroy my own prestige."
Xue Rong waved his hands impatiently and said: "Although the three-nation coalition forces of Feng, Yu, and An are large in strength, I don't pay much attention to them. Even without the assistance of Huan Jun, we can only rely on our army of 300,000 soldiers to fight the enemy head-on." A fight may not lead to defeat."
But ten times out of ten, you won’t win! Jin Zhuo muttered in his heart. He is too familiar with Xue Rong and understands his temper very well. This guy is a typical over-the-top and arrogant person. If he doesn't suffer a loss once, he will not look down on his opponent in his heart. But the battle with the coalition forces is not a child's play. If you suffer a loss, it may put all the soldiers in the army into irreversible danger.
He looked helplessly at He Rushui, hoping that he could find a way to persuade Xue Rong. Although He Rushui is not a traditional nobleman of the Sichuan Kingdom, he is not an emerging young aristocrat either. He is still young, but he is very mature, has a sharp mind, and has a deep city. In Xue Rong's words, this man is full of huāhuā. intestines.
When He Rushui saw Jin Zhuo looking at him for help, he rolled his eyes, smiled slightly, and said: "I think the general should not only ask for help from the court immediately, but also the reinforcements of 100,000 are too few. He should ask for two One hundred thousand, or more.”
Hearing this, Xue Rong almost choked on his own saliva. He looked directly at He Rushui with a look that said, "Are you crazy?"
He Rushui shrugged calmly and said quietly: "As a general, what is the most important thing in your hands? Military power! Now that young nobles are rising in the country, they are all seeking military power. If we just sit back and ignore it, the power in our hands will be destroyed. They are snatching everything away little by little. General, you must be on guard against others. If you don’t take advantage of this, will you miss a good opportunity?”
After listening to his words, Xue Rong and Jin Zhuo took a breath in unison. ("") Jin Zhuo was secretly angry. He wanted He Rushui to persuade Xue Rong, but he didn't want him to persuade him by satisfying his own interests!
However, Xue Rong's heart moved and he secretly said that it made sense. The war against the coalition forces was secondary, and the family's domestic interests should be put first.
He pondered for a while, then nodded repeatedly, pointed at He Rushui, and said, "What Rushui said makes sense. It seems that I should think hard about how to write a letter asking for help to the king."
Jin Zhuo wanted to say something else, but he swallowed it back and said to himself, forget it. No matter what Xue Rong thought, in short, winning the war in front of him was the most important thing.
At the suggestion of the two deputy commanders, Jin Zhuo and He Rushui, Xue Rong wrote a letter to Xiao Xuan. In the letter, he first reported the battle report of the Battle of Dahe Mountain, and then wrote about the bravery of the Allied Forces, the weakness of the Huan Army, and the insufficient strength of his own troops. Finally, he mentioned in the letter that he asked Xiao Xuan to send more troops. The strength of the troops ensures the success of the battle to aid Huan.
His letter gave Xiao Xuan no room to refuse, so he could only agree to his request and continue to increase his troops.
After receiving Xue Rong's letter, Xiao Xuan immediately sent another 100,000 reinforcements. In addition, he also sent one of the most elite troops in Sichuan, the Blood Guard Battalion.
The Blood Guard Camp, along with the other Tianji Camp, the Temple Camp, and the Wushuang Camp, are known as the four major camps of the Chuan Kingdom. These four camps do not have many soldiers, but the soldiers and generals are all elite, and they are very familiar with the Anjian and Duwei Camps of the Feng Kingdom. Among the four major camps of the Chuan Kingdom, a considerable number of soldiers and generals are spiritual practitioners from Shenchi, and the Blood Guard Camp has the largest number of them.
When the Chuan Kingdom and the Feng Kingdom went to war, Xiao Xuan had always wanted to pull Shenchi to his side, wanting Shenchi to fight side by side with the Chuan Kingdom to jointly deal with the Feng Kingdom, and the Chuan Kingdom and Shenchi have always had the best relationship.
For this reason, Xiao Xuan had sent a letter to Shenchi a long time ago, but Shenchi's reply was not to participate in the fight between the countries, which made Xiao Xuan feel quite uncomfortable. He sent letters again and again, but Shenchi's reply was the same, not to intervene or participate.
Xiao Xuan even wanted to go to Shenchi in person to persuade the Elders' Council of Shenchi to send troops to assist the Chuan Kingdom, but Ren Fang's words made Xiao Xuan cancel the trip. "Does the king really think that Shenchi is aloof from worldly affairs and really doesn't covet the throne?"
As the monarch of Chuan, Xiao Xuan is also a very smart person. He understood immediately that Ren Fang's implication was that Shenchi was obviously sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight. It hoped that the countries would fight and consume each other, and finally a unified pattern would emerge. Then someone would stand up, overthrow the current emperor, and establish himself as emperor. At that time, Shenchi could legitimately attack him and replace him.
Shenchi did not have the ability to conquer and unify the countries in the world, but they definitely had the strength to "eliminate" the new emperor, and also had the reputation to replace him.
Ren Fang's words made Xiao Xuan feel chilly. From the bottom of his heart, he was not willing to believe that Ren Fang's words were true. If Shenchi really had such a plan, then it would definitely be an enemy ten or a hundred times more terrible than Fengguo for Chuan.
If there really comes a day when Shenchi and Chuanguo become enemies, he will probably not be able to sleep well, because Xiao Xuan does not know how many of the nobles and concubines in the harem around him and even in the court of Chuanguo are from Shenchi, and how many of them will stab him in the back when he is not paying attention, and this is the terrifying part of Shenchi.
This time, Xiao Xuan sent the Blood Guard Battalion, which has the most people from Shenchi, mainly to test the reaction of Shenchi. Once the Blood Guard Battalion suffers a large number of casualties in the battle against the coalition forces, Shenchi will not sit idly by.
As long as Shenchi is willing to intervene, it means that Ren Fang's estimate is wrong, and he can rest assured. If Shenchi still refuses to intervene, then Ren Fang's speculation is likely to be correct, and he must start preparing for it as soon as possible.
Now, in Xiao Xuan's mind, the biggest enemy is no longer the Fengyu'an Three Kingdoms Alliance, but the Shenchi who has been forbearing, mysterious and terrifying, and whose true intentions are not perceived.
Ren Fang, the general of Chuan State, is not only a commander who makes plans on the battlefield, but also a far-sighted politician. Of course, his skepticism and even hostility towards Shen Chi does not mean that others do the same.
When Xue Rong heard that the king had also sent him the Blood Guard Battalion, he was overjoyed and almost jumped up. As an old noble of Chuan State, he knew the strength of the Blood Guard Battalion very well. There were many masters among them, and even an ordinary soldier was an outstanding spiritual practitioner. The king was willing to send the Blood Guard Battalion to him, which undoubtedly showed his trust and respect for him.
He Rushui and Jin Zhuo were also surprised by the participation of the Blood Guard Battalion. Now the enemy did not threaten the homeland of Chuan State, so why did the king send the Blood Guard Battalion?
Neither of them understood the deep meaning of Xiao Xuan. They only thought that the king attached great importance to the war of aiding Huan, and sending the Blood Guard Battalion was equivalent to telling them that they could only win this battle, not lose.
In any case, with the addition of 100,000 troops and the Blood Guard Battalion, the combat power of the Sichuan reinforcements has been upgraded to a higher level. This time, Xue Rong is more confident and no longer takes the coalition forces seriously.
On the other hand, after the coalition won the battle of Dahe Mountain, the entire army temporarily stationed in the Huan Army camp to rest and reorganize in preparation for the next battle.
When the celebration banquet was held to discuss the merits and rewards, people didn't know who to reward. The greatest credit for this battle naturally belongs to Tang Yin, but he is already a king, what else is there to reward?
Tang Yin was not greedy for credit, and took out the credit that belonged to him and shared it with the soldiers of the three armies, and also emphasized the praise of the An Army.
When encircling the main force of the Huan Army, the An Army did not collapse as soon as it came into contact with the enemy. This was a great credit, at least in Tang Yin's eyes.
Even Bai Qing felt unworthy of giving the credit for this great victory to the An army, which killed the least enemies and was the slowest in besieging the enemy. Her face was red from the beginning to the end of the celebration banquet.
