I’m The King Chapter 912: :Huanghuang Hanwei (thirty-six)

The battle to attack Jiuyuan County has lasted until the third day. The Zhengdong Army has already killed the city wall of Jiuyuan County several times. Although it failed in the end, Feng Fayong has already seen the dawn of victory. On this day, Zhao Yong personally He led 30,000 soldiers from Dai County to arrive and joined the ranks of the attack, which greatly boosted the morale of the Zhengdong Army, and Jiuyuan County was on the verge of despair. He is not Lu Chao who is ready to perish with the city. He has a big backer like Li Ru behind him, and his father Wang Xiao's disastrous defeat at Hangu Pass. Qin law.

Getting everything ready, Wang Jian took his last reserve team and climbed onto the city wall. Below the city, the 50,000 Eastern Army was ready to go, and the neat phalanx exuded a desperate atmosphere. The rumble of war drums, densely packed various siege equipment being pushed out after joining the army, the number is beyond imagination.

The Qin army at the head of the city almost showed despair. The battle of Jiuyuan County has lasted for nearly four days, but the reinforcements have not yet arrived in the local battle. Can block the opponent's blow.

Wang Jian stood on the top of the city tower, staring at the flag of the Eastern Zheng Army fluttering in the distance, his despair had receded, replaced by a calm, if this is the case, then die here!

He stretched out his arms, as if he wanted to embrace the entire Jiuyuan County. The next moment, he began to shout the Qin Army's battle song in a hoarse voice. His voice has been hoarse these days, even though he tried his best , the sound is also very weak.

"Correct the old Qin, restore my country, don't let the blood flow dry, and swear there will be no truce!"

On the top of the city, people slowly began to sing along with Wang Jian, and gradually gathered on the top of the city to form a torrent. Thousands of remnants of the Qin army brandished knives and guns, exhausting all their strength, Singing their war songs that once made their enemies tremble.

In the distance, Feng Fayong showed a sneer on his face. In the past, the Qin people sang battle songs to mourn their enemies. Today, they sang battle songs to mourn for themselves.

"Beat the drum, blow the trumpet, prepare to attack!" He turned around and said to the messengers beside him.

The sound of drums rumbled, and the loud and clear bugles sounded in the Central Army. Accompanied by the bugles of the Central Army, the phalanxes of the Eastern Expedition Army began to sound the corresponding bugles, and the military flags waved one after another, indicating that We are ready.

"General Feng, General Feng!" A fast horse quickly approached from a distance, and the knight immediately let go of his throat and shouted loudly, approaching the Chinese army in an instant.

Feng Fayong frowned, that was the general he stayed behind in the camp, seeing his hurried expression, it seemed that something happened.

"What is it?" He asked.

"General Feng, He Lanxiong, the commander of the Eastern Group Army, has just sent an order to suspend the attack on Jiuyuan County. All troops should return to the camp immediately and stand by!" the general said loudly.

"What did you say?" Feng Fayong was taken aback, Jiuyuan County was already within his grasp, and he actually asked him to stop attacking.

"Are you mistaken? Is the person here really the messenger of General He Lanxiong? Could it be that the Qin people are behind the scenes?" Zhao Yong, the governor of Daijun, asked sharply beside Feng Fayong.

"Return to the governor of the county, return to General Feng, how dare the general be careless about such an important matter, but the person who came here is General He Lanjie, a general under the command of General He Lanxiong! The general knows him."

"He Lanjie?" Feng Fayong frowned deeply. Since it is him, the military order cannot be fake.

"General Feng, I think it was Commander He who was afraid that we would win the Jiuyuan County independently and take his credit, so he ordered us to stop attacking. The general will be outside, and the king's order will not be accepted. Let's go first Let's take down Jiuyuan County, look at it like this, it's impossible for Jiuyuan County to stop our all-out attack and create a fait accompli, what else can he do?" Zhao Yong said in a deep voice.

"That's right, General Feng, we've been fighting for several days, should we just stop like this, wouldn't the robe we sacrificed a few days ago be in vain! We are fighting in the Qin army's homeland, and their reinforcements It is possible to come up to rescue at any time, if this is the case, all our previous efforts will be in vain." Qin Lei, a veteran beside Zhao Yong, echoed.

Qin Lei was a veteran of Dai Commandery during the Zilan period. When the civil war broke out between Dai Commandery and the court of Zhao State, Qin Lei led his army to guard Nanzhang and guard the gate of Xiling, and firmly controlled this important place, making Zhao In the end, in order to win quickly, Qi had to detour to Nanzhang to attack Xiling, which laid the groundwork for the final defeat. Qin Lei is the only remaining old general in this Daijun army, and most of the new generals come from the Eastern Expedition Army , and Qin Lei is also one of Zhao Yong's most trusted sources.

"Old General Qin." Feng Fayong pondered for a while, "Commander He Lanxiong's position is high and powerful, and he no longer needs to prove himself with military achievements. His status is already prominent enough. He ordered us to stop attacking. , Moreover, the military discipline of the East Conquest Army is strict, but there are no generals outside, and the emperor's order is not accepted. It is one thing not to arrive at the order, but it is another thing to violate or not obey the order when it arrives. That's going to kill you."

Qin Lei raised his beard, and was about to say something more, but Feng Fayong had already cut off his words, "Old General Qin, Gao Dudu has already designated Shannan County and Dai County as a war zone, under the unified command of Commander He Lanxiong. It's our immediate superior, violating military orders is not a trivial matter, and Commander He Lanxiong is a Hun, not such a reasonable guy, he has a very hot temper, even if we think his order today is wrong, We can only complain to the governor afterwards, but now, we must stop the attack."

After saying this, Feng Fayong no longer gave Zhao Yong and Qin Lei a chance to speak, turned his head and said to the messenger: "Blow the horn and withdraw the troops!"

The retreating bugle sounded, but this time, the response below was a little slow. Obviously, the generals on the front line were also baffled by this order. After a while, the phalanxes that were ready to attack began to respond Bugle.

All kinds of siege equipment turned and retreated, and when they retreated to the back of the formation, the phalanx turned around one by one, and walked away from Jiuyuan County with neat steps.

Above the city wall, the originally passionate battle song stopped abruptly, and everyone including Wang Jian watched in amazement as the tens of thousands of troops marched away.

It could have been a drumbeat, but it turned around and left like this. What is the Zhengdong Army doing? Armed demonstrations? Wang Jian is puzzled.

One day later.

He Lanxiong looked at Feng Fayong and the others with a smile, "General Feng, Commander Zhao, and General Qin feel very annoyed, angry, and puzzled. This easy-to-get credit has been lost by my flirtatious military order." !"

Feng Fayong laughed, "The commander is serious. Dai County and Shannan County are designated as a war zone by the governor. The commander is the supreme commander of this war zone. Since an order is issued, the general must carry it out if he understands it. It must be executed. This is the duty of a soldier, and obeying orders is a bounden duty!"

"Okay, well said, the duty of a soldier is to obey orders. No wonder the governor values ​​you so much." He Lanxiong applauded loudly, "General Feng, in fact, why don't I want to take down Jiuyuan County and rush into the hinterland of Qin State in one go? , but it can’t be done, right now is not the right time! Not only me, but also the governor, the council hall, I’m afraid that you, General Feng, will show your power and take down Jiuyuan County in one fell swoop, which will be a disaster!”

"What's so bad about this?" Zhao Yong asked puzzledly.

He Lanxiong looked at Zhao Yong with a smile. Zilan's youngest son was weak and sick. A county under the government, Zhao Yong's historical mission will also come to an end, and soon, Zhao Yong will also step down from the post of deputy county governor, and go to Zhengdong Mansion to take up a post. Gao Yuan has prepared a noble position for him to support him. His The importance, now it can't be compared with Feng Fayong, even Qin Lei can't be compared, a veteran like Qin Lei still needs to win over.

"Mr. Zhao, wars always serve politics. Wars always have a purpose. Why do we fight this war? What are the advantages of winning and what are the disadvantages of losing? Think clearly, taking Jiuyuan County, on the surface, is naturally a big victory, but not only has no advantages, but also has great disadvantages, so why should we fight? Naturally, it is better not to fight.”

"Disadvantages?" Zhao Yong was still puzzled, this Mr. Zhao didn't understand politics, and Qin Lei frowned while thinking, but he asked directly.

"Yes, the disadvantages are great, because if we take down Jiuyuan County, it means that we will fight the Qin people with real swords and guns. A full-scale war with the Qin people is not in line with our current situation. The benefits are not something the current Zhengdong Mansion can afford." He Lanxiong said with a smile.

"Since you can't fight, why put up such a big battle?" Zhao Lei muttered.

He Lanxiong thinks that Zilan is so cute, but it is a pity that Zilan's first hero, the blood left in the world is a simple enough little guy. Hearing that Zilan's eldest son is like a father, he just It's a pity that he died in Handan. But this is a good thing for Zhengdong Mansion. If the eldest son is still alive, I am afraid that Zhengdong Mansion's annexation of Dai County will not be as smooth as it is now.

"Simply put, that's blackmail!" He Lanxiong took the trouble to explain to the cute little white rabbit, "The Qin people want to test whether we have the determination to fight, so we naturally have to let them see our courage." We not only have the determination to fight, but we also have the determination not to hesitate to burn the boat, rather to be broken than to be destroyed. Only in this way can the people of Qin back down. We did put up a big battle and spent a lot of money, but in the end It will be brought back, we conquer the East Mansion, but we never do business at a loss."

"Commander, are our tens of thousands of troops here as spectators?" Qin Lei asked.

"Of course not!" He Lanxiong shook his head, "Jiuyuan County is not going to fight, but we have to do something. In a few days, Gongsunyi's independent cavalry division will arrive. When the time comes, let them fight in Jiuyuan The county sweeps up and sweeps up the autumn wind."

"Jiuyuan County is very poor, I'm afraid there is nothing to earn." Feng Fayong laughed.

"If you don't have money, you will always have people." He Lanxiong said plainly. (To be continued)
