"General. I object." Zhao Mancheng turned around and saluted Li Yunchong, ignoring Pu Mingshan's angry glare.
Li Yunchong glanced at the two of them, then stood up, showed admiration for Park Mingshan, and said: "General Park is really a strong man and a tiger minister."
But his emotional intelligence is extremely high, and he neither praises nor criticizes. He also said to Zhao Mancheng who was about to speak: "General Zhao is mature, prudent and trustworthy. He just lacks a little bit of sharpness."
Pu Mingshan looked happy, cupped his fists and bowed deeply to Li Yunchong.
Zhao Mancheng hesitated several times, but he just sighed deeply.
"General Park. I allow you to lead five thousand elite troops to harass Wu Nian. Pay more attention to Wu Nian's cavalry and don't confront him head-on."
Li Yunchong turned to Pu Mingshan and said in a deep voice.
"General, don't worry. I can go in and out seven times and bring the whole army back." Pu Mingshan raised his head and made a decisive move. Immediately, he clasped his fist towards Li Yunchong, turned around and left.
"Yes." Li Yunchong nodded with satisfaction.
After the military meeting ended, all the generals also left the Chinese army's tent.
Zhao Mancheng raised his head and glanced at the sky, showing a worried look, and thought to himself: "The Chu Kingdom is weakening, and Liaodong is turbulent. The Queen Mother is too ambitious, and cooperating with the Meng Yuan people is basically seeking the skin of a tiger."
"The general is a general, but he is affected by domestic politics, so his decision-making has to take into account the domestic situation."
"He can't think about things purely from a military perspective."
"Wu Nian's tyranny has exceeded all of our expectations. I'm afraid that if he crosses the Yalu River aggressively this time and reaches the border of Liaodong to steal chickens, he will end up stealing chickens but losing rice."
Goguryeo was not weak in strength and had many heroes.
Only in this way can we guard the Yalu River while the Mongolians are sleeping in Liaodong, remain independent, and have the courage to seek skin from the tiger and get a share of the pie.
Not to mention Zhao Mancheng's worries.
the other side. After Pu Mingshan left the Goguryeo camp, he led his cronies back to Shanning City next to Yangwu City.
The Meng Yuan people and the Goguryeo people cooperated to guard the city, valleys, roads, and steep hills, and the city of Yangwu was surrounded by water.
The longer time dragged on, the better their defenses became.
The only fly in the ointment is that their prey [Liaodong tiger] has no head and iron, and is calm and motionless.
Pu Mingshan was the general responsible for guarding Shanning City, with eight thousand men under his command. It is one-sixth of the current military strength of Liaodong in the entire Goguryeo.
After he returned to Shanning City, he summoned his military attachés and arranged for his lieutenants to guard the city. He sent five thousand men without siege equipment, but only a small amount of supplies and food, and headed straight for Yangwucheng.
...........
Yangwucheng.
The sun was high and it was frighteningly hot.
outside the city.
The strong and burly soldiers, like ants, were scattered in the fields, bent over and sweating profusely.
Inside the city. There were very few people on the streets, and people were hiding in their homes to escape the heat.
North of the city. In front of the city gate tower.
Wu Nian wore a purple brocade robe and a silk scarf on his head. He stood with his head held high and looked into the distance. Next to him is Cheng Yulian, the prefect.
Cheng Yulian is much darker and more mature.
"Very good. Now I'm just waiting for others to reveal their flaws." Wu Nian withdrew his gaze, smiled and nodded to Cheng Yulian.
Really methodical and orderly.
Cheng Yulian also smiled and nodded gently.
suddenly. A soldier quickly came up from the city, stood in front of Wu Nian, bent down and saluted, and said: "General, come and report from the scouting horse. Pu Mingshan of Shanning City sent five or six thousand troops and came straight to Yangwu."
Wu Nian and Cheng Yulian looked at each other. Wu Nian held the handle of the steel knife at his waist with his left hand and laughed: "If you fall into my net, it will be broken."
Immediately, Wu Nian turned to one of the soldiers beside him and said, "I'm telling all the captains to go to the county government hall."
Wu Nian smiled happily and with a majestic spirit.
"Yes." The soldiers were also in high spirits. The soldier responded loudly, turned around and walked down quickly.
Cheng Yulian didn't know much about military matters, but he was still smiling.
Together, surrounded by soldiers and entourage, the two of them descended the city wall and headed to the county government hall. Their butts haven't gotten hot yet.
Zhao Yanting, Zhang Sheng, Wang Gui, and Huang Hu walked in one after another. After everyone arrived, Wu Nian told everyone the news.
"Hahahahaha. The competition this time is about Taoism. Whoever can't hold it back first will lose. The Goguryeo people dare to send troops to harass us. They are really brave."
Huang Hu laughed loudly, then stood up, bowed and saluted Wu Nian with a red face, and said, "General, please let me lead my elite troops to defeat him."
He and Guan Jinhan were both surrendered generals of the Chu State. They did not make many military exploits, but they were appointed as captains and commanded tens of thousands of troops. They were greatly favored by Wu Nian.
On a daily basis, they were gearing up to kill generals and make meritorious deeds in return for Wu Nian. However, they all knew their abilities and did not dare to fight against Meng Yuan Wanhu alone.
But the Goguryeo general Park Mingsan?
Huang Hu is worthy of him.
Zhao Yanting was also ready to make a move, after thinking about his words in his mind. He first cupped his fists at Huang Hu and said, "Colonel Huang is a general. You can't kill a chicken with a butcher's knife. I'll leave this Pu Mingshan to me."
Say it. He then stood up, bowed and saluted Wu Nian and said, "General. Please let me lead my five thousand soldiers to defeat him."
Huang Hu suddenly became anxious and said: "Captain Zhao, you are too shameless. You are a general with ten thousand enemies, and I, Huang Hu, can't defeat you. You said you can't kill a chicken with a butcher's knife. Isn't this scolding me?" "
"Besides. You, Lieutenant Zhao, have made many achievements, including this one. Since I joined the general, I have made very few achievements. Just be a good person for once and leave it to me."
"Now that we're talking about good people, why don't you, Captain Huang, be a good person and give me your military exploits?" Zhao Yanting didn't give in and raised his head and said.
"You." Huang Hu's face turned green. Zhao Yanting usually kept quiet and seemed to be a good old man, but when something happened, he took the first credit.
Traitor.
The two were at a stalemate, and Zhang Sheng and Wang Gui couldn't join in the fun. They are Wu Nian's old brothers, and they are worthy of their military exploits.
"Hahaha." Wu Nian suddenly laughed loudly, his laughter was extremely heroic.
Everyone looked at Wu Nian in confusion. In this situation, you have to make the decision. What does it mean to laugh instead of making the decision?
"General, why are you laughing?" Cheng Yulian couldn't hold back and asked.
"I laugh at the Queen Mother and the Goguryeo people. They really don't know the current affairs. Their general, in front of my general, is just a skilled warrior. What qualifications do they have to fight with me?"
Wu Nian stopped laughing and showed a majestic look on his face, with a strong and powerful aura.
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and then laughed.
is not that right?
