The entire Yang Kingdom royal family was personally killed by Yang Jiande, who practiced the blood magic book of extinguishing love and despair.
In the past, there were still some coverings. The death of the Yang family was often claimed to be due to illness.
After openly killing the prince Yang Xuanji in the main hall, Yang Jiande could hardly find any excuse and directly summoned his blood relatives into the palace to kill him in one fell swoop.
The Blood Magic Book of Destroying Love and Absolute Desire is his secret hand, so secrecy is the first priority.
In order to achieve this purpose,
Except for a few completely trustworthy confidants, all the courtiers, maids, and eunuchs who witnessed this incident were executed by Yang Jiande.
Therefore, the matter was hidden in the palace for a while, and there was no news about it.
Externally, it was claimed that these people were weak-minded and attempted to make peace with Qi.
Yang Jiande, in order to strengthen his determination to fight for the country, killed everyone without mercy.
The further edict stated that anyone in the country, from the common people to the royal family, who wanted to seek peace, would be punished as national traitors.
Killing the prince Yang Xuanji was Yang Jiande’s attitude!
Even the prince was killed, and no one in the Yang Kingdom dared to make peace.
For a time, the whole country was in mourning, but there was only one voice.
Most of the senior officers in the army were former troops who had fought with Yang Jiande. Over the years, he has let go of political power, but has never transferred military power.
At that time, the prince Yang Xuanji wanted to force him into the palace, but he relied on the power of the court and had no intention of joining the army at all.
If we just go from unfamiliarity to familiarity again, this process should not take long.
However, Yang Jiande led an army of 210,000 people, and he was moving step by step, as slowly as possible, as if he was competing with Chongxuan Chu Liang to build a barracks, rather than a life and death duel.
Outsiders may not understand, but those in the military's old ranks will certainly not doubt Yang Jiande's military strength, and many people are confused by this.
…
The commander's tent where Yang Jiande is located is very ordinary, without the usual nobility and luxury of the Yang family. Only a red sun dragon flag outside the tent can reveal the identity of the king.
At this time, a burly middle-aged general in the tent was advising: "You washed the court with blood and killed the prince with your own hands to show your determination to fight for the country. Now we are a nation in mourning! It is morale that can be used, when All at once. Why is the general lingering here?"
Another young general said: "The army of Qi thieves has entered Chiwei, and the location is advantageous to me at this moment. The longer the delay, the more familiar the Qi army will be with the geography, and our army's advantage is disappearing. Your Majesty must think twice!"
The old troops that Yang Jiande led in past expeditions are still called generals today, which is both a habit and a sign of loyalty. The younger generation of generals in the army still call him "Your Majesty."
It can be seen from the titles alone that the qualifications of the two groups of generals are different.
However, both veterans and young players all have a consistent judgment on the situation.
They all believed that if the Yang State army wanted to win, it should make a quick decision and defeat Qiu Sha's army before it had a firm foothold.
Yang State was already fighting as a whole, but Qi State had only dispatched one of its nine soldiers. The Yang State has tried its best, but the Qi State has a steady stream of reinforcements. If the situation drags on, it will not benefit Yang State at all.
Yang Jiande sat high in command, observing his generals and listening carefully to the advice of each general.
Didn't miss anyone's eyes.
Finally he spoke: "How can I not know what the generals said?"
"However...Chongxuan Chu Liang doesn't know about it?"
"If the Qi army invades like fire, our army can hit them head-on. With the determination to burn both jade and stone, there is no chance of victory."
"But here alone, I have to say a cruel word. If you don't want to boost others' ambitions, you will destroy your own prestige..."
Yang Jiande put his hands on his knees and stared at his generals: "Let me ask you, what are our chances of winning in a head-on confrontation with Qiu Shajun?"
A gray-haired veteran with deep wrinkles on his face. He swayed for a moment when he stood up, but he still said: "Qiu Shajun is the strongest army in the world. We will hit one with ten, and there is still a three-point chance of winning. Now we will hit one with two." , the odds of winning are probably... only 1 in 100."
His surname is Ji Mingcheng, and he has been a famous general for generations. He can be called the number one general in Yang Kingdom.
It's a pity that now, the Ji family has withered away its talents. He had two sons and three grandchildren, all of whom died in the war. Now the Ji family's male is the only one left, this veteran.
Although the veteran's attire is heroic, it doesn't look sad.
His voice was trembling, and after he finished speaking, he closed his old eyes, as if unwilling to face the cruel reality of the disparity in combat power between the two armies. However, as a general in charge of the army, he has no choice but to face it.
"Yes, there is only one in a hundred miles." Yang Jiande repeated it in a low voice first, and then said: "But why do you still lead the army? Why do you still gather under our military tent? Let's These 210,000... Let's call them weak brigade. Why do these 210,000 'weak brigade' gather here, and why do they dare to confront Qiu Sha's army head-on?"
He stood up from his commanding position and faced all the generals.
"My Yang family's ancestral temple has continued to offer sacrifices for twenty-seven generations. It's not the people of the Yang Kingdom who owe me the Yang family, but the Yang family who owes it to the world!"
"But if I am alone and being slaughtered, can the sword and war be stopped? Can the greed of the people of Qi be satisfied? Can the kings feel at ease? Can the minds of the Yang Kingdom be at peace?"
"The Yang Kingdom does not only belong to the Yang family, but also belongs to all the people of the Yang Kingdom who live in the land of Yang Kingdom!"
"The people of Qi have betrayed their kindness and invaded my homeland and killed my people. It is not a pity to die for me, Yang Jiande, but why should the people of Yang State lose Yang State and not be able to become Yang State people again!?"
Everyone was silent. A group of men in the army could not say a word except holding their weapons tightly.
"Gentlemen, we are gathered here, carrying swords and knives, all for the same purpose." Yang Jiande hit his heart with his fist: "My lonely heart is with you!"
"My desire for victory is no less than yours. However, the more so, the more cautious we must be."
"Because we only have the strength to fight one battle, and there is an abyss ahead. If we cannot win the first battle, there will be no chance of recovery."
"Yang Kingdom is facing a crisis that has not been seen in hundreds of years. If we lose this battle, Gu Wei will die. But what about you?"
"Having been a Yangguo native for half your life, and now approaching old age, will you be able to adapt to the life of the Qi people?"
After Yang Jiande asked this question, he looked around and made eye contact with everyone, confirming that he had conveyed his spiritual will, and then returned to the military strategy.
"I only value Xuan Chuliang's camp every step of the way, stationed ten miles away. Everywhere he passed, he was imprisoned or killed, and all humans and animals were killed. Then we know that he has been prepared for our army's quick battle. This man is a famous general in the world. Since he is prepared, we It must not be done quickly.”
"But general, where is the chance of victory?" It was still the gray-haired veteran Ji Cheng, who asked tremblingly: "If we fight head-on, where is the chance of victory for our army?"
"Wait!" Yang Jiande said.
"I asked for surrender with the dignity of a country, and then stationed troops in front of Zhaoheng City. They were all waiting for Chu Liang to make mistakes, but he did not make a mistake at all, and sought stability at every step. Those who make good use of strange troops will lose mediocrely. Victory leads to fame. Only those who can use good soldiers will be famous in the world! His military skills are already among the best in the world."
"Facing such an opponent..." Yang Jiande clenched his hands into fists. There was no fear in his eyes, only fighting spirit: "My blood is boiling!"
"I am waiting for a variable, and this variable does not depend on us. Because of this, it will not be determined by Chongxuan Chu Liang!"
