Chapter 271
At this time, the main forces of the Great Zhou Dynasty moved together and took advantage of the unstable morale of the Xuanting army to cover up and kill them. The Great Zhou heavy cavalry that had just defeated the Xuanting front army quickly gathered together, and Lin Ge's 100,000 Ganzhou troops also took advantage of the situation to pounce on the Xuanting army formation on both sides.
A big battle was inevitable, and the Xuanting Central Army was killed because of Huang Tianhua. For a while, the military was left unattended. Counselor Liu Fa bent on the bullet and took it forward. However, he was not involved in military affairs at all. The generals who only knew how to fight and kill were also disorganized at this time, and they were eagerly waiting for Liu Fa to make a decision.
Looking at the main force of the Great Zhou who was about to come, Liu Fa was a little shaky. He didn't know what to do for a moment. Retreat was impossible. The coach died in battle. If he retreated at this time, he would probably be the first person to die when he went back. Thinking of this, Liu Fa gritted his teeth in his heart. At worst, he would die here in battle, and perhaps he could leave a wealth for his family.
In the end, he still suppressed the entire central army. Although he knew that he would most likely die, he had no way out. If he wanted to die, he would die together.
Time flies, and the two armies finally collided. On one side, the 240,000 Northwest Army of the Great Zhou, with high morale and increasing excitement as they fight, and on the other side, the 140,000 Xuanting North Road Army, which lost the commander and was extremely physically and mentally exhausted. The victory or defeat was actually expected. This is also the confidence of Chen Qingzhi to dare to face the Xuanting army head-on. All the advantages are in his hands, so what else he dares not do.
Soon, under the gloomy sky, the main force of the 200,000 Great Zhou surrounded the remaining soldiers of Xuan Ting in the wilderness and slowly strangled them. Tens of thousands of heavy cavalry rushed into the Xuan Ting army formation, killing the Xuan Ting array again and again... They plowed open countless passages made of the flesh and blood of Xuan Ting people, allowing the main force of the Great Zhou to cut the Xuan Ting army into small pieces and eliminated them. In just a few hours, the balance of victory had completely turned to the Great Zhou side.
Although Xuan Ting's defeat was already obvious, the Zhou army was not much better. The battle was very difficult. Several rounds of charge caused heavy losses to the Zhou army. Xuan Ting people are not vegetarians and will not stand there for you to kill. Once a person reaches a desperate situation, two extremes will occur. One is to give up, and the other is to resist. Xuan Ting people are the latter, and the more fierce they become in the end.
Although the military strength of the Great Zhou Dynasty was twice that of the Xuanting people, it also allowed the Xuanting people to break through the siege several times. Although it finally blocked the gap, it also caused many Xuanting people to rush out.
So much so that Chen Qingzhi's capital had the intention to withdraw his troops. He was afraid that he would not eat the mutton and even made him feel uncomfortable. Fortunately, what made Chen Qingzhi relieved was that the Xuanting army finally collapsed under the force of the Zhou army and was strangled to death, and only scattered remnants were left.
In the setting sun, Chen Qingzhi looked at the Shura battlefield covered with corpses, and had no words for a long time until the deputy general Pegasus reported:
"Master, the war has been damaged. In this battle, our troops wiped out more than 118,000 Xuanting's people, and our troops suffered casualties... nearly 70,000 casualties." In the end, the deputy general said with a sad face.
Chen Qingzhi was silent. He didn't expect that the Xuanting people would be so fierce and warlike. He had such strong combat power when he was physically weak and exhausted. If he met the Xuanting army who was ready to fight, he would really not dare to imagine what the consequences would be. It seems that conspiracy and tricks are the king to deal with Xuanting's army. Chen Qingzhi thought in his heart.
After standing for a long time, Chen Qingzhi calmed down, pulled the reins and ordered:
"Transfer from my commander, the army will take a break and clean up the battlefield and continue to move west!"
Three days later, Qin Ge, Prince Xuanting of Xinghe City, received news that the entire Northern Army was gone, and hundreds of thousands of main forces in the Great Zhou had entered Hedong South Road.
The whole hall was in an uproar for a moment, and Qin Ge was even more angry and fainted on the ground.
…………
Outside Lin'an City, inside the tent of the Central Army Commander.
"Fourth Prince, do you want to disobey the will of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Ye Chan asked Qin Le, who was sitting in the main seat without saying a glance.
"Mr. Ye, you are too worried. How dare I go against the Crown Prince's intention?" When Ye Chan pointed at his nose and questioned, Qin Le had no intention of being angry at all, but replied with a smile.
Ye Chan would not have been fooled by Qin Le so easily, and stood up and pointed outside the tent and said loudly:
"Since that's the case, why don't the soldiers and horses in the camp unload their saddles and soldiers unload their armor? They look like they want to fight?"
Qin Le curled his lips and said with a smile:
"I am just in case of going deep into the enemy territory, so I must be extremely careful."
Looking at Qin Le, Ye Chan lost his temper for a moment. Although he was the prince's confidant and the second-in-commander of the Central Army, he was considered powerful, but he was not good enough to face Qin Le. Qin Le really wanted to act alone. He had no other way except for Prince Xingwen to file a lawsuit.
"The 14th Prince, since this has come to this point, the official said it simply." Ye Chan had no patience and Qin Le's disposal and directly showed up: "Your Highness the Crown Prince sent me to come and did not mean to monitor you, but there was something else."
A hint of surprise flashed in Qin Le's eyes, which was a little beyond his expectations. Ye Chan came to the middle army to monitor him, he really couldn't think of anything else that the prince could care about.
Ye Chan told Qin Le not to believe it, and said with a wry smile: "The Xiaguan came to Lin'an with the central army this time to secretly meet someone."
Qin Le's eyes flashed, staring at Ye Chan and asked, "Who is it?"
"An old friend!"
"An old friend?" Qin Lezhen was a little confused. Although he was just an unpopular prince, he had also participated in military aircraft. He had almost no knowledge of the affairs in the court. He didn't even know about the secret thread of Song State's Xuan Ting.
"Not bad!" Ye Chan nodded, stroked his beard and smiled: "To be honest, this ancient man is still your ancestor of the fourteenth prince!"
Qin Le's face turned dark and his expression immediately became cold. Ye Chan actually dared to humiliate him at this time, and he really didn't know how to live or die. When Ye Chan saw that the atmosphere suddenly became cold, he immediately knew it was broken and quickly explained:
"Fourth Prince, don't get me wrong. The old friend mentioned by the lower official is indeed your ancestor, not only yours, but also His Royal Highness."
Qin Le's face softened after hearing Ye Chan's explanation and asked, "What does this mean?"
Ye Chan hurriedly said, "The 14th Prince, the lower official this time is the son of Emperor Wenzong, King Wu - Qin Si!"
"What?" Qin Le stood up, the son of Emperor Wenzong? You should know that Emperor Wenzong has been around for almost four hundred years since he was now. Wouldn't that man be three or four hundred years old? How is this possible?
Seeing Qin Le’s look incredible, Ye Chan naturally felt deeply the same. When His Highness the Crown Prince mentioned this to him, he was like Qin Le now.
"The 14th Prince, this matter is true, how can it be false?" Ye Chan nodded affirmatively.
"How could he live for so long? It's incredible." Qin Le said in horror. In fact, it's not just Qin Le, but anyone who hears that someone who has lived for hundreds of years will probably become like this.
Ye Chan looked at Qin Le who was out of control and explained softly: "Of course, people can't live for so long, but Gods are different." His words were filled with emotion and a hint of envy.
"You are he who has become a god?" Qin Le said in surprise. This is even more incredible than someone who can live for hundreds of years. Is it simply a fantasy? How could a person be named a god? The Xuanting Dynasty has never heard of such a thing for thousands of years.
Ye Chan knew what Qin Le was thinking. I am afraid that everyone who knew about this thought had this idea. How did Qin Si become a god? What method did he use? This is probably something that everyone wants to know, but no one asked, because no one is a fool. Since Song State can enthrone the gods, why can't Xuan Ting? In fact, anyone who is a little smarter can figure it out, but he just dare not make it clear. This is a taboo.
Qin Le was naturally a smart person. He quickly figured out the reason, and immediately kept silent and changed the topic: "Is this ceasefire because of Prince Wu, what exactly does he want to do?"
Ye Chan bowed to Qin Le and said:
"This King of War conveyed a request from the emperor of Song State Mihua today."
"What request?" Qin Le immediately became interested and smiled, "Can he still ask for peace?"
"The 14th Prince guessed it well. This Emperor Song just wanted to ask for peace. He promised that as long as my Xuanting army did not attack Lin'an, he would be willing to give me Xuanting a fortune worth 3 billion taels of silver."
Qin Le, who was about to drink tea, was stunned on the spot. The wooden cup in his hand fell to the ground with a bang. Qin Le turned his head to look at Ye Chan without any sense of it and asked again:
"How much did you just say?"
Ye Chan smiled and said disrespectfully: "Three billion taels!"
Qin Le felt that his legs were a little weak, and he was not a person who had seen money, but 3 billion taels, I am afraid that the entire Xuanting Dynasty, no, the entire Central Region, let alone anyone has seen it, even if he dreams, I am afraid that everyone will understand what the concept of 3 billion is.
"Can State of Song take out so much money?"
"It's probably OK to see what Your Highness Wu is saying!" Ye Chan replied.
Qin Le kept silent and wandered in the tent. He was afraid that even his father would not dare to think about the 3 billion taels of silver. If these 3 billion taels were obtained by him, what else could not be done in this world? Even Xuan Ting's throne was within his control. Unfortunately, this wealth was so hot that countless people were staring at him. He did not dare, nor did the prince dare.
"The 14th Prince, His Highness, King Wu, also told the officials about something big?"
"What's up?"
"The Zhou army has entered the Song territory!" Ye Chan said in a deep voice.
Qin Le paused and his face became solemn. Zhou Jun arrived so quickly? He caught him off guard and looked up at Ye Chan:
"Where is the Zhou army going?"
"According to King Wu, go south and north!"
"How is that possible?" Qin Le said in a deep voice: "Shou Kingdom shouldn't focus on Lin'an first?"
"This... I don't know about it," Ye Chan shook his head and said, "Maybe Zhou has other plans?"
Qin Le frowned and thought for a long time, but he didn't think of Zhou Guo's intention to do this. He pondered for a long time before speaking:
"No matter what Zhou Guo is fighting, we must be careful. We should fight quickly according to our coach's wishes."
Ye Chan's face darkened: "Fourth Prince, do you still have to do your own thing?"
Qin Le shook his head and looked at Ye Chan and said in a solemn voice:
"Mr. Ye, you have also seen that the army of the Great Zhou is coming soon. If Emperor Song and the Great Zhou collude and play the trick of procrastination, then when the main force of the Great Zhou arrives, we will get nothing."
"In my opinion, since Song State can take out 3 billion, if we can't prepare, we can take out 4 billion...5 billion... Who would foolishly empty our own family? Time is tight and we don't have time to argue with Emperor Song, why don't we go to Lin'an to get it?"
"As long as we suddenly launch an attack on the city and catch Song Ting off guard, Lin'an will be broken in an instant!"
"In this way, they have no time to transfer property, which saves time and effort, so why not do it?"
"Mr. Ye, what do you think?"
