Sheng Zhan was determined to get rid of Sheng Ze this time, so the imperial troops outside Yongshan County were not just casual soldiers and generals.
Although Jing He is only a fifth-level military general, he is brave and good at fighting. If he was not blocked intentionally or unintentionally by the people above him, he would have been promoted long ago.
Now that he was suddenly given an important task by Sheng Zhan, he was both excited and distressed.
To be honest, he really didn't want to attack Ezhou at all. In addition to caring about the people, there was another reason.
Liang Cheng was the general he admired most. When he was young, his dream was to be like Liang Cheng and have the ability to defend an army on his own.
He never thought that one day he would meet Liang Cheng.
Li Junyi directly opened Jinghe's tent, strode in, and said loudly: "General Jing, our army has been annexing Yongshan County for many days. The emperor asked you to quickly capture Ezhou, but you are standing still here. , what exactly do you mean?"
These days, his status has brought him a lot of benefits, and Li Junyi doesn't want to experience a plummeting situation again, so he is very concerned about the war.
"Master Li has the responsibility of overseeing the army. I can understand your feelings very well, but marching and fighting is not about numbers. Our understanding of Ezhou was only a few years ago. If we attack rashly now, who will be responsible for the defeat?" Jinghe said unhurriedly.
He really didn't want to fight Liang Cheng, but he couldn't violate the emperor's orders. Since he was eating royal food, he had to work hard for the court.
Li Junyi choked, he didn't know how to march and fight, and there was nothing wrong with Jing He's words. He paused for a moment before speaking with an ugly face, "Could it be that we just wait here?"
"Master Li, there is no need to worry. I have been sending people to inquire about the situation of the Northern Hubei Army in the past few days. I will naturally launch an offensive when I am ready." Jing He said calmly.
The situation of the Northern Hubei Army frightened him more than he thought. He was really not sure about this battle.
But of course he would not show it in front of Li Junyi, otherwise once the military power is taken away by him, the troops he brings out will probably be in chaos.
Li Junyi waved his hand irritably, "Don't talk to me, just tell me, when can the war start?"
Apart from the initial probing attack, they were just wasting food and grass. It had been almost ten days, and the war had not made any progress. How could he report to the emperor?
"The Northern Hubei Army is more troublesome than we thought. I have already sent people to prepare. The offensive will be launched as soon as the day after tomorrow." Jing He said solemnly.
He had never heard of any gunpowder weapons, let alone how powerful the so-called gunpowder weapons were. However, judging from the information gathered by the spies, the Northern Hubei Army was able to capture hundreds of thousands of barbarians with this weapon, which shows that this thing is extremely powerful. Not to be taken lightly.
"Okay, I remember General Jing's words. If the army still doesn't move the day after tomorrow, don't blame me for using the emperor's token!" After Li Junyi finished speaking, he waved his sleeves and left.
Jing He, however, kept staring out the window of the tent and made no move for a long time.
…
By the Chenzhou River, Wang Zheng and others knelt down in front of King Zhao and shouted, "Please send troops!"
The weather in Chenzhou has turned cold in the past few days, and suddenly it became windy. King Zhao stood by the river, his cloak fluttering constantly in the cold wind. Hearing everyone's pleas, he did not move at all.
"Father, the world of Jin Dynasty has been in chaos. You have the protection of the Emperor Star. This is a good opportunity to cause trouble. Don't let it go!" Zhao Ling, the legitimate son of King Zhao, knelt down in front of King Zhao and said passionately.
