I’m The King

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 seen the dawn of victory. On this day, Zhao Yong personally led the county. Thirty thousand county soldiers arrived and joined the ranks of the attack, which greatly boosted the morale of the army, and Jiuyuan County was already on the verge of despair. Wang Jian knew that he had no luck. He has written his suicide note and has done a good job with the city. He was not Lu Chao preparing for his death.Behind him was a big backing like Li Ru, and coupled with his father Wang Xiao's fiasco at Hangu Pass, if his teacher loses his ground, what awaits him is the strictest Qin Law.

With everything ready, Wang Jian took his last reserve team and boarded the city wall. Below the city, the 50,000 troops were ready to go, and the neat phalanx exuded a desperate atmosphere. Accompanied by the rumbling drums of war The sound, the densely packed various siege equipment was pushed out after the army, the number is so large that it is impossible to imagine.

Almost all the Qin Army at the head of the city looked desperate. The battle of Jiuyuan County had lasted for nearly four days, but the local battle, the reinforcements have not arrived yet. Once the opponent initiates an attack, they don't think they can stop the opponent. This powerful blow.

Wang Jian stood on the top of the tower, staring at the flag of the Eastern Army that was flying in the distance, his desperate expression had faded, and it was replaced by peace. If this is the case, let's die here!

He stretched out his arms, as if he wanted to embrace the entire Jiuyuan County.The next moment, he began to roar Qin Jun's battle hymn in a hoarse voice. The voice is also very weak.

"Correct Old Qin, and restore my rivers and mountains. If the blood doesn't run dry, I promise not to cease the war!"

Above the city head, someone slowly began to sing to Wang Jian's singing, and gradually gathered on the city head into a torrent. Thousands of remnant Qin troops wielded knives and spears, exhausted all their strength, and sang. The war song they once made their enemies tremble.

In the distance, Feng Fayong showed a slight sneer on his face.In the past, the Qin people sang war hymns to mourn their enemies.Today, they sang war hymns to mourn for themselves in advance.

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

The drums rumbling, the loud bugle sounded in the Chinese army, along with the Chinese army's bugle, one by one the east army phalanx, began to sound the corresponding bugle, and the flags on each side waved, indicating that it is done. Prepared.

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

Feng Fayong frowned. It was the general he stayed behind at the camp. Seeing his hurried expression, it seemed that something had happened.

"What's the matter?" he asked.

"General Feng, just now, He Lanxiong, commander of the Eastern Group Army, ordered someone to quickly send an order to postpone the attack on Jiuyuan County. All troops will immediately return to camp and stand by!" the general said loudly.

"What are you talking about?" Feng Fayong was stunned. Jiuyuan County was already at his fingertips and asked him to stop the attack.

"Have you made a mistake, is the person here really the messenger of General He Lanxiong? Could it be the Qin people who made the ghost?" asked Feng Fayong, Zhao Yong, the guardian of the prefecture, sternly.

"Master returning to the county guard, returning to General Feng, how dare the final general be careless about such an important matter, but the person here is General He Lanjie, the general under General He Lanxiong! The final general knows him."

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

"General Feng, I think it is Commander He who is afraid that we will take the Jiuyuan County City independently and take his credit. This is why we order us to stop the offensive. We will be out. The king's order will be affected. Let's take down Jiuyuan first. Regarding the county city, looking at it like this, it is impossible for the Jiuyuan county city to stop our full blow and cause a fait accompli. What can he do?" Zhao Yong said in a deep voice.

"Yes, General Feng, this has been fighting for several days now. Could it be that we should stop like this? Then the robe that we sacrificed a few days ago was dead in vain! We are fighting in the Qin army, and their reinforcements are always there. It may come up to rescue. If this is the case, all our previous efforts will be lost." Qin Lei, a veteran next to Zhao Yong, echoed.

Qin Lei was a veteran of Daijun in the Zilan period. During the civil war between Daijun and the Zhao Kingdom, Qin Lei led his army to guard Nanzhang, guard the Xiling portal, and firmly control this important place, making Zhao Qi finally In a quick victory, he had to detour Nanzhang to attack Xiling, laying the groundwork for the final defeat. Qin Lei is the only old general in this generation of county soldiers. Most of the new generals come from the Zhengdong Army, and Qin Lei Lei is also one of Zhao Yong's most trusted support.

"Old General Qin." Feng Fayong pondered for a while," Commander He Lanxiong is a high-ranking official, and he no longer needs military merit to prove himself. His position is already prominent enough. He ordered us to stop the offensive, for fear of other secrets, and, The army of the Zhengdong Army is strictly disciplined, but there is no general outside. Jun's order is not immune to this. It is one thing that the order has not arrived, but it is another matter if it arrives at Yin Fengyang or fails to comply. Head off."

Qin Lei's beard curled up, and he was about to say something. Feng Fayong had already cut off his words. "Old General Qin and the Governor of Gaodu have divided Shannan County and Daijun into a war zone under the unified command of Commander He Lanxiong. He is ours. The immediate boss, violating the military order, it is not a trivial matter, and the commander He Lanxiong is a Huns, but he is not so reasonable, and his temperament is very hot, even if we think that his order today is wrong, we can only We appealed to the governor after the incident, but now, we must stop the attack."

After saying this, Feng Fayong no longer gave Zhao Yong and Qin Lei a chance to speak, and turned to send Lingbing: "Blow the trumpet, withdraw the troops!"

The retreat bugle sounded. This time, the response below was a bit slow.Obviously, the generals on the front line were also inexplicable about this order. After a long while, the phalanx that was ready to attack began to sound the bugle.

All kinds of siege equipment turned to retreat.After they retreated to the formation, the square formations turned around and took a neat step, starting to move away from Jiuyuan County.

Above the city wall, the sound of the originally violent battle song stopped abruptly, including Wang Jian, who watched stunnedly at the tens of thousands of the Eastern Army, just like this.

It could have been a drum, but turned around like this and left. What are the Zhengdong Army doing? Are they armed with demonstrations? Wang Jian is puzzled.

One day later.

He Lanxiong smiled and looked at Feng Fayong and the others, "General Feng, Zhao Junshou, and General Qin, feeling very annoyed, very angry, and very puzzled. This easy-to-reach credit was lost by my light military order!"

Feng Fayong laughed."The commander said seriously, Daijun and Shannan County are designated as a theater of war by the governor.The commander is the highest commander of this theater.Since the command is issued, the commander must execute it if he understands it, and execute it if he doesn't understand it. This is the duty of a soldier, and it is his bounden duty to obey orders!"

"Okay, well said, the military is to obey orders. It's no wonder that the governor values ​​you so much." He Lanxiong applauded loudly, "General Feng, in fact, I don't want to take down Jiuyuan County and rush into the hinterland of Qin with all my energy, but it doesn't work Ah, it’s not the time right now! Not only me, but also the governor, the council, and I am afraid that General Feng, you will show off your power and take the Jiuyuan County City in one fell swoop, that would be bad!"

"What's the disadvantage of this?" Zhao Yong on one side asked inexplicably.

He Lanxiong smiled and looked at Zhao Yong. The youngest son of Zilan was frail and sick since he was a child. After Zilan died, he was helped by the Eastern Army as a banner, but that was all. With Daijun's announcement of the change of flag, he became a subordinate of the Eastern Mansion. For a county governor, Zhao Yong’s historical mission will also be over. Soon after, Zhao Yong will also step down from the post of the county guard and go to the Zhengdong Mansion. Gao Yuan has prepared a noble position for him and raised him. His importance, There is no way to compare with Feng Fayong now, and even Qin Lei can't compare it. A veteran like Qin Lei still has to win over.

"Zhao Junshou, war is always to serve politics. In war, we must always have a purpose. Why do we fight this war? What are the advantages of winning and what are the disadvantages of losing? Naturally, we have to think clearly. Conquering Jiuyuan County, on the surface, is naturally a big victory, but not only does it have no advantages, but it also has great disadvantages. Then why should we fight? Naturally, it is better not to fight."

"Disadvantage?" Zhao Yong was still puzzled. This Young Master Zhao didn't know much about politics, and Qin Lei on one side frowned and thought, but he asked directly.

"Yeah, the disadvantages are great, because if we take down the Jiuyuan County, it means that we will fight the Qin people with real swords. A full-scale war with the Qin people is not in our immediate interests. It's not something the current Zhengdong Mansion can afford." He Lanxiong laughed.

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

He Lanxiong thinks that Zilan, the son, is so cute, but it is a pity that Zilan I was a hero, but the bloodline that remained in the world was a simple enough little guy. I heard that Zilan's eldest son was like a father, but it was a pity that he died. It's in Handan. But this is a good thing for Zhengdong Mansion. If the old man is still alive, I am afraid that Zhengdong Mansion's annexation of Daijun will not be as smooth as it is now.

"Simply put, it is blackmail!" He Lanxiong explained to the cute little white rabbit tirelessly, "Qin people want to test whether we have the determination to fight, then we naturally want them to see our courage, we Not only is there the determination to fight, but also the determination to break the boat and sink the boat instead of breaking the boat. Only in this way can the Qin people retreat. We have indeed put a lot of battles and spent a lot of money, but we will always fish. When we came back, we conquered the East Mansion, but never made a loss-making business.

"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 no longer fighting, but we have to do something. A few days later, Gongsunyi's independent cavalry division will arrive. When that time comes, let them clean up in Jiuyuan County. , Go to hit the autumn wind."

"Jiuyuan County is so poor, I'm afraid there is nothing to fish for." Feng Fayong smiled.

"Without money, people always have it." He Lanxiong said indifferently. (to be continued)
