Yang Jiande gathered 210,000 troops to show off with Chongxuan Chu Liang's 100,000 Qiu Killing Army.
There was no attempt to hide this military operation from anyone, and it was impossible to hide it.
Although everyone with a discerning eye knows that Chongxuan Chu Liang and his troops were stationed outside the Yang Kingdom just to wait for Yang Jiande to lead the army to attack.
However, Chu Liang, Chongxuan, still represented the state of Qi and issued nine letters of credence, confessing his innocence and urging Yang Jiande to extinguish the anger of the thunder. He also said that generations of clans of the two countries share the same love as father and son, and should not go to war to make the world laugh...
Even if it was really a misunderstanding, the people of Yang State would still be so angry at the contents of these credentials, not to mention that both sides knew full well that this battle was inevitable.
In short, after the Yang State army gathered, they formed a large formation and marched straight to the border between the two countries without stopping.
And the last time, Chongxuan Chu Liang only asked for a broken halberd, and the meaning couldn't be more obvious.
A national war that affects the attention of the entire Eastern Region is about to begin.
…
The border between Qi and Yang is divided into four counties: Rizhao and Chiwei in Yang, Dingyao and Pingxi in Qi.
The southeast of Rizhao County touches the northwest of Dingyao County of Qi State, and part of it borders Pingxi County of Qi State.
The attitude of Song Guang, the governor of Rizhao County, was probably alarming. Yang Jiande did not send troops through Rizhao County this time, but planned to go to the front line via Chiwei County.
Judging from the map, the entire Chiwei County is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, like the tail of the country.
And its "tail" is touching the lower part of Pingxi County of Qi State.
Of course, in fact, the commander-in-chief of Chongxuan Chu Liang was also standing outside Pingxi County.
Therefore, Chiwei County at this time became the focus of the world.
When the plague was raging, the Holy Master of the Bone Path was hiding somewhere in Akao County.
But both Yang and Qi seemed to know nothing about this matter, or in other words, they both "ignored" it tacitly.
…
…
After killing Shi Jing and surrendering more than 4,000 city guards. Qingyang Town has become the de facto strongest force in the Jiacheng city area, and because of its active confrontation with the plague beforehand, the plague virus in the town was basically eliminated before the plague mutated.
Although the plague after the mutation was more terrifying, it was firmly isolated by Jiang Wang with thunderous means - that is, killing everyone who entered Qingyang Town without inspection.
And because of sufficient supplies and regular assistance to surrounding towns, Qingyang Town has to some extent replaced the function of the main palace of Jiacheng City and become the center of Jiacheng City.
Perhaps because he was afraid of the Chongxuan family, or was busy searching, Song Guang, the governor of Rizhao County, showed no reaction after Shi Jing's death.
But on this day, Jiang Wang met Chong Xuansheng again.
The man still came empty-handed, with only fourteen followers. The war has begun, and this time entering the Yang Realm finally does not violate military orders.
"Why are you here at this time?" Jiang Wang asked first in the room.
The fourteenth man in black helmet and black armor was standing by the door, with an air of keeping strangers away, preventing anyone from prying into their conversation.
Everyone in Qingyang Town knew that Zhong Xuansheng and Jiang Wang were friends, and they were curious, but they didn't show any expression.
Only Xiaoxiao turned this way many times intentionally or unintentionally, with some well-hidden dissatisfaction in his heart.
She felt that Chong Xuansheng's subordinates blocked the door, which somewhat offended Jiang Wang's authority. As for whether Jiang Wang was a disciple of Zhong Xuan Sheng, this fourteenth person himself was extraordinary... These were not within the scope of her consideration.
Of course, due to limited strength, she could only hide her dissatisfaction.
Inside the house, Chongxuan Sheng swallowed two fruits, wiped his mouth, and asked: "Why did you, Daoyang Jiande, gather your troops outside Zhaoheng City first, and then send them to the front line?"
He probably understood that Jiang Wang would not support him, so he answered himself: "The first reason is that he has problems controlling Chiwei County and Rizhao County. When gathering troops in these two counties, he cannot control accidents."
Chong Xuansheng said: "But the most important reason is that neither Chiwei County nor Rizhao County is in danger. He gathered troops in Hengyang County to wait for our army to advance straight in. One is to stretch our army's supplies, and the other is to use The territory required our army to divide its forces. But the commander-in-chief always stood still, which made his plan of 'deciding in front of the royal city' come to nothing."
In the army, he was only called commander, not uncle.
Hearing this, Jiang Wang also nodded: "Because of the mutated plague, time is on our side."
"If the general doesn't move, Yang Jiande can only move. Now he has no choice but to leave Hengyang County and rush to the front line through Chiwei County. However, the national border is not a suitable battlefield, and there is insufficient strategic space outside Pingxi County. Therefore, The commander-in-chief also intends to enter Chiwei County, which means...Akawei County is the battlefield!"
Jiang Wang understood clearly, but he didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd: "So?"
Chongxuan Sheng smiled and gave it up: "Why don't your Daoyang Jiande army go to Rizhao County?"
Jiang Wang said angrily: "The attitude of the governor of Rizhao County is ambiguous, how can he leave Rizhao County?"
"Yes, Song Guang has 70,000 soldiers. He neither surrenders to Qi nor obeys the edict of Lord Yang. He seems to want to stay on the sidelines in Rizhao County and wait for a high price!"
"What does he want?" Jiang Wang was a little curious: "The Chongxuan family should not be short of money, and Qi State will not be short of money."
Chong Xuansheng said: "The survival of Yang country depends on this battle, and Yang Jiande is not short of money!"
Jiang Wang can probably understand. Of course Qi was richer, but when the country was in ruins, Yang Jiande was even more willing to give it up!
In other words, it's not that Qi State can't offer an overwhelming price, but the price that has inflated to that level must be very scary and may not be worth it!
"Yang Jiande is afraid of Song Guang, but why is the commander so fearless? If the two armies are fighting in Chiwei County, how can they allow Song Guang to watch from the sidelines in Rizhao County?"
Jiang Wang frowned: "You're saying...Song Guang is just sitting on the sidelines, maybe it's a game arranged by Yang Jiande? He seems to be waiting for a price, swinging around, but in fact, he may wait until the two sides fight against Chiwei County. To cover up the army and attack?"
"Maybe, maybe not! But we cannot and do not dare to deny this possibility!"
"If you say so, then even if Song Guang surrenders during the war, he cannot be trusted."
"Yes, he can only surrender before the war begins. And he must act as a vanguard to attack Yang Jiande's army first. Otherwise, the commander-in-chief cannot be reassured. But judging from the current situation, it should be impossible for him accepted."
"So what does the commander plan to do?" Jiang Wang asked.
Chong Xuan Sheng narrowed his eyes and said, "I have taken the initiative to ask for orders. As the direct son of the Chong Xuan family and the deputy commander of the Qiu Sha Army, on behalf of the Chong Xuan family and the Qi army, I will personally negotiate with him on the terms of surrender!"
Under the command of Qiu Shajun, there are eight generals. Below the general are the deputy generals, the generals are next, and the deputy generals are next.
Chongxuan Sheng's current position in the army is that of Deputy Commander-in-Chief. Although he had no previous military exploits to speak of, with the family background of the Chongxuan family, starting as a Deputy Commander-in-Chief is not too high. On the contrary, it is quite low-key. Probably to avoid suspicion for Chu Liang, Chongxuan.
"This is very dangerous!" Jiang Wang said.
If Song Guang was truly loyal to Yang Jiande from beginning to end.
Then he would most likely kill Chong Xuan Sheng directly without giving him a chance to speak.
He might also risk his life to negotiate terms with Chongxuan Chu Liang as the direct son of the Chongxuan family. If Chongxuan and Chu Liang don't accept it, Chongxuan will die if he wins. If Chongxuan and Chu Liang accepted it, Chongxuansheng's political career would be over.
So when Jiang Wang said it was dangerous, it meant it was really dangerous.
But Chongxuan Sheng only said: "Find wealth and honor in danger!"
