Seeing this Beimang general, with the heads of five generals of the Daqian Empire tied up, showing off his power outside Yanmen Pass, Zhao Zheng felt like his chest was burning!
How could he, a majestic and dignified king, tolerate foreigners from other countries acting so wildly in front of him?
Clenching his fists, Zhao Zheng asked in a deep voice:
"Captain Cao Yun, if I ask you to fight this Beimang barbarian now, what are your chances of winning?"
Cao Yun heard this and said sadly:
"Reporting to Your Majesty, I don't dare to brag, I can only tell the truth. If Your Majesty lets the general fight with him now, the general will only have a 30% chance of winning at most..."
Zhao Zheng was startled when he heard this: "Thirty percent? So low?"
Cao Yun also felt extremely ashamed. He knelt on the ground on the spot and apologized:
"The last general is incompetent! My Daqian soldiers fought against Beimang five times, and were defeated in five battles. Five generals were killed on the battlefield. At this time, the morale of the army was extremely low, and they even became afraid of Beimang! Fighting before the battle The most taboo thing in the battle formation is timidity. If we forcefully fight Beimang at this time, I'm afraid it will be a disaster!"
After hearing this, Zhao Zheng did not blame Cao Yun too much.
He nodded slowly and said:
"Beimang is a nomadic people. They are naturally good at riding and shooting. Their troops are three times yours. If you can't defeat them, I can't blame you."
Cao Yun kowtowed when he heard the words:
"Your Majesty has mercy!"
Zhao Zheng narrowed his eyes, looked at Beimang's soldiers carefully, and said in a deep voice:
"Now my morale is low, and I am even afraid of the Beimang cavalry. If I want to reverse the decline, I must fight a beautiful turnaround!"
Cao Yun frowned and said:
"But Your Majesty, the morale of the soldiers is low and they are timid. How can they make a comeback?"
Zhao Zheng was already prepared for this problem. He smiled faintly and said to Cao Yun in a low voice:
"Simple, just like this, you can give the Beimang cavalry some pain..."
…
After investigating the situation of Beimang's army, Zhao Zheng returned to the camp to rest.
In the next few days, he neither led troops to fight nor appeared in the military camp. He stayed in his tent every day, taking Yu Caiwei to live happily.
Over time, the soldiers in the military camp began to spread rumors, saying that Zhao Zheng was frightened after seeing the power of the Beimang cavalry, so he hid in the military camp like a cow, not even daring to show his head.
Not only that, the emperor was also dissolute and immoral. Many soldiers who passed by his camp during the day heard waves of women begging for mercy coming from inside, which was simply unbearable.
These news spread more and more widely, causing those generals who thought he was a wise king before to start gossiping, saying that his appearance as a wise king was all fake, but now his true colors have finally been revealed. The coward is still a coward, and the puppet emperor is useless.
In addition to them, Yu Fan, the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army, naturally also heard the news. Knowing that Zhao Zheng had been hiding in a tent for the past few days, he became a little anxious.
"This dog emperor is indeed a coward. He gave up as soon as he entered the battlefield. No, if he keeps hiding in the military camp, how can we get rid of him? I have to find a way to trick him into leading troops to the expedition and let him die in Beimang's iron heel. Just go down!"
As soon as his eyes rolled, Yu Fan immediately realized his plan. He immediately walked out of the tent and came to the military camp. He specially summoned several generals who had recently complained about Zhao Zheng and said loudly:
"Brothers, come together, I have something to say!"
When everyone heard the general summoning the Zhonglang of the Chinese Army, they all gathered around him.
Yu Fan cleared his throat and pretended to be heartbroken and said:
"These days, Beimang's army is raging in our Daqian territory, intruding on our people, robbing our food, and killing our compatriots. It is really lawless and too bullying! The soldiers at Yanmen Pass could not defeat them before because of Yanmen Pass. The troops are insufficient, with only 100,000 soldiers and horses, while Beimang has 300,000 soldiers and horses."
"Now, His Majesty has come to support with 300,000 troops and horses. Our total strength has reached 400,000, which is already 100,000 more than Beimang. Brothers, this is our revenge. , it’s a great opportunity to feel proud!”
"But what is our emperor doing at this time? He is actually hiding in his tent, having sex with his beloved concubine every night! No, not just at night, I heard that the emperor is not idle during the day either! This How unbecoming is this? It’s really embarrassing for us all!”
"Sirs, as the lieutenant general of the Chinese army, for the sake of the dignity of Daqian and the tranquility of the country, I will risk my life to persuade you today to let your majesty lead the troops to attack Beimang! If your majesty does not send troops today, I will He crashed to death in the military camp! I hope the soldiers will go with me to bear witness together!"
Although Yu Fan has evil intentions, he is very eloquent and is very good at confusing people.
After saying these words, it really makes people think that he is a loyal and loyal general.
For a time, many people were inspired by him and stood up, waving their fists and saying:
"That's right, Your Majesty must lead the troops to go on an expedition today! Set an example for us!"
"How can a majestic emperor hide in a tent and hang out with his concubines all day long?"
"Today we will also die to remonstrate!"
"His Majesty must be allowed to go on an expedition!"
"..."
Yu Fan took a look and saw that these generals were indeed simple-minded guys with well-developed limbs. He couldn't help but secretly laugh in his heart. He immediately walked in front and greeted everyone:
"Let's go! Come with me to find the emperor!"
The crowd shouted all the way and went straight to the outside of Zhao Zheng's military tent. At this moment, the moans of Yu Fan's second sister Yu Caiwei could be heard from time to time in the tent.
Yu Fan's face turned green when he heard this, and he said angrily:
"Listen! Listen! Our soldiers are throwing their lives and blood on the front lines, but this emperor is hiding in the tent and doing these ugly things! It is really unreasonable!"
After saying this, he shouted loudly toward the tent:
"General Yu Fan, the commander-in-chief of the army, would like to see your majesty!"
Before he finished speaking, other generals behind him also shouted loudly:
"We want to see your Majesty!"
"We want to see your Majesty!"
"We want to see your Majesty!"
After shouting several times, a lazy voice came from the military tent:
"What are you yelling about? Are you disturbing my and my concubine's enjoyment!"
"Just wait for me! Wait until I finish communicating with my beloved concubine, and then I will come out to communicate with you!"
