Chapter 404
Yuezheng's main camp.
After Li Po flees, he has returned here.
At this time, he had no armor, his hair was disheveled, and there was no clean place on his body. He could be said to be a real bloody man, and his face was stained with blood stains, blurring his true face.
In the big tent, there were also generals of the Yan Army at all levels standing on the left and right.
In the position of coach directly above, Yue Zheng's face was so gloomy that it was terrifying.
"Silly! Camping in the mountains and forests, the pine needles and fallen leaves on the ground are what kills you!"
He angrily cursed that the defeat of the 100,000 troops was not only a matter of loss of troops, but more importantly, it was the crucial role played by Li Po's troops.
It was like a nail inserted into the throat of the Allied forces, but now, the nail has been pulled out.
He was the supreme commander of the Yan army. Although Li Po was of equal title to his, he was defeated after all, so he could only say in a humble manner:
"I was trapped in Lushan. I thought there was enough water, food and grass. Who would have thought that the King of Qin would attack with fire?"
"Stop talking!" Yue Zheng shouted angrily: "The destruction of these 100,000 troops has completely put our Yan army in a passive state! The loss of the previous Sishui Pass will become meaningless!"
As he said that, he said angrily again: "Li Po! As a general, you have led 100,000 troops, causing all the soldiers of the army to die on the battlefield. What crime should you be punished?"
"By the argument of defeat in the war, I am willing to accept military law!" Li Po did not shy away his responsibility, and he said decisively.
"Okay!" Yue Zheng immediately stood up and shouted, "Come on!"
Following his words, two guards outside the tent stepped in.
Yue Zheng pointed at Li Po and said, "Drag it down and behead it for the public!"
ah!?
Hearing this, not only the two guards were stunned, but the other generals were also shocked.
But Yue Zheng didn't wait for everyone to say anything, and shouted again: "What are you waiting for!"
In the army, the military order is greater than everything. The commander is like this. The guards dare not hesitate. They can only swallow their saliva secretly, and then walked forward carefully to hold Li Po.
But the latter shook his arms violently, bounced away the left and right guards, and said with a shocking voice: "As a soldier, I have nothing to say! You don't need to do it! I will leave by myself!"
Li Po was brave and brave, bloodthirsty and fighting, and had a violent and eccentric personality, but he was also a person who dared to act and take responsibility. Seeing him like this, Yue Zheng was a little panicked.
There is no doubt that the reason why he wanted to kill Li Po was simply because he had no choice but to say it on the surface, but in fact, how could he really do this?
First, he didn't have the courage. Marquis of Li Po had a very high status in Yan Kingdom. Even if he was killed, he could not explain to Yan King.
Second, Yue Zheng still needed Li Po too much. If the Yan Army lacked this general, it would be like a person who cut off his own arm.
In a slight panic, Yue Zheng hurriedly glanced around and winked at one person.
In fact, he didn't need to remind him at all. At this time, all the generals also reacted. They were all out, clasping their fists one after another, and talking:
"Supervisor Yue calms down. The situation is really special when defeated this time. It is not the fault of General Li..."
"Yes, Yue Shuai, that Qin King is treacherous, General Li was surrounded by Lushan, so he had no choice..."
"Ship Yue, please spare General Li this time because of his outstanding military achievements..."
"Mr. Yue, if you kill the general in this way, our army will lose an arm, and it will undoubtedly make the relatives suffer and the enemy..."
"Please calm down by Shuai Yue-"
All the generals persuaded them and stood up.
Seeing this, Yue Zheng was taking advantage of the situation and immediately said, "Li Po! If it were not for the advice of all the generals, I will definitely not forgive you! Today, I will send you the title of the person, so that you will be punished by your merits!"
When the generals heard this, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Li Po clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Mr. Yue! I will see King Qin again the next day, so I must take his dog's head!"
"Okay!" Yue Zheng nodded with satisfaction. The effect he wanted had been achieved, so he stopped talking about it. Instead, he waved his hand and said, "You go ahead and clean it first."
"Yes!" Li Po turned around and left.
Next, Yue Zheng looked around for another week and began to discuss with the generals.
The current situation is already somewhat unfavorable to Yue Zheng. Apart from the defenders of Sishui Pass, the total force is about 600,000. Now that Li Po is defeated, his main force is only 280,000, and with the 180,000 on the Shucheng front, there are still 460,000 left.
This is already the forces of all the regular troops of the Yan Army.
As for the Qin Xuan coalition, there are still 320,000.
This is the main battlefield, with 280,000 and 320,000. There is no big difference in strength, and it is possible to fight head-on.
At this time, a side general also began to say: "Supervisor Yue, in Shucheng, although the Liang army was surrounded, the Liang king did not do anything to massacre the city, kill the people, and hoard supplies. In the short term, it may not be able to break it. Now, if we can turn the situation around, we still have to rely on our side."
"What are your suggestions?" Yue Zheng asked back.
A side general pondered for a moment, clasped his fists and said, "In the eyes of the last general, the spiritual army cannot go deeper. We should dispatch troops as soon as possible to arrange defense on its front."
This is the consequence of the destruction of Li Po's 100,000 troops, which can be said to disrupt Yue Zheng's overall plan.
However, he still said: "This is not appropriate. Have you ever thought about it? Once we divide the troops again, the King of Qin will take advantage of this to detour and lead our main force. At that time, the situation on the entire battlefield will become more complicated and passive."
"What about... in the opinion of Supervisor Yue?" the side general couldn't help asking.
Yue Zheng said: "Instead of doing this, it is better to fight Qin Xuan to the decisive battle! In this victory, the spiritual army will not dare to advance, and then everything will survive!"
But what if you lose...
Some people are secretly upset.
For a moment, everyone was speechless. Seeing this, Yue Zheng said, "It seems that everyone is afraid of defeat, but don't forget that although the other side has an army of 320,000, it is the Qin Xuan coalition, not the army of a country, but we are united and united together!"
What he said is indeed correct. This force is not much different in the battlefield, and the coalition forces of the two countries are definitely inferior to the army of the same country. But he didn't know that Qin Xuan's side, Qin King Xiao Yuan, had already obtained the right to unify the military order.
When the generals listened to what he said, they thought carefully, it was really the case.
His deputy general clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Yue's words are reasonable, and he may be able to fight to the decisive battle, and the outcome will be decided in one battle!"
"Okay! Since that's the case, then that's it!"
Yue Zheng is still very confident.
The deputy general asked again: "Then, where is the final battle?"
Yue Zheng thought for a while and said:
"Waring between two armies will be more than the length of both sides. Judging from the current situation, fighting in the mountains will be detrimental to me. Therefore, we should avoid its strengths and confront it on the plains."
"Remember! This victory and defeat are related to the survival of all the soldiers of our Yan Army! The generals of each unit must personally command the battle! If there is anyone who fears the enemy but fails to the former, they will be engaged in military law!"
"No!" The generals clasped their fists.
Yue Zheng immediately said, "Do the war letter! Tell the King of Qin that in three days, I will fight him to the death!"
Chapter completed!
