Although Li Mixian was at odds with his husband, it was just because of his personality. He also admired Xuanyuan Ce's talents from the bottom of his heart. After hearing this, he frowned and asked, "Sir, can you tell me clearly the identity of the master behind Feng Jingquan?"
Xuanyuan Ce smiled slightly: "Who else could be there, it must be the sinister counselor known as Feng Xiang - Qu Huaier!" Then he recalled that year, "Forty years ago, Emperor Shun of Liang except for a few famous generals who were good at fighting, , and behind him were two unparalleled counselors, nicknamed Long Qian and Feng Xiang. Although it was not as divided as before, the King of Chu at that time, Chen Yi, was an extremely ambitious leader. The 150,000 iron-blooded cavalry built by the god Yeluyuan were intended to compete with the Liang Kingdom. I had already emerged in the academy and was very popular for a while. I was invited by the King of Chu to assist him and served the King of Chu together with Yeluyuan. I have fought against these two several times, with wins and losses for each other.”
The more Li Mixian heard, the more frightened he became. Xuanyuan Ce, as the most outstanding disciple in the hundreds of years since the academy was founded, did not choose to join the world after completing his studies. Instead, he chose to stay in the academy and become a teacher, waiting for the Ming Dynasty. I have fought against enemies for half my life and have never been defeated. I never thought of advising the King of Chu after entering the world, but I have lost several times.
Song Jinyang, who is also a student in the academy, naturally knows the value of the words "mutual victory and defeat" in the teacher's mouth.
Xuanyuan Ce saw the two people's expressions and sneered: "Why, do you really think that I am an invincible immortal? Long Qian and Fengxiang, the two of them are unparalleled in resourcefulness, one is right and the other is strange. I have lost to them several times, so what's the fuss? Moreover, although General Yelu's cavalry was said to be unparalleled in combat power at that time, there were only 150,000 men after all, and they were unable to match the Liang Kingdom's 400,000-strong army at that time."
"After that, Emperor Shun of Liang took advantage of the victory to pursue, quelled the Chu rebellion, and truly established a peaceful and prosperous era. However, after successive defeats, Chu had to retreat again and again. In order to negotiate for peace, the King of Chu seized the military power of General Yelu, and even killed Yelu himself with his own hands. After giving it to Emperor Shun of Liang, the world was peaceful for decades. Due to his old age, I retired early and returned to the academy to continue teaching. Later, I was invited by Chen Xiong to come here and live my life in peace. As an old rival, Long Qian and Feng Xiang were estranged due to an incident, and one died while the other hid behind the scenes and continued to make suggestions for the Emperor of Liang to consolidate the country."
Li Mi first said in a deep voice: "No wonder I always feel that Liang Guo's troops were incompetent in every battle before, but this time it is uncharacteristic. Sure enough, Feng Jingquan has an expert's guidance behind him. It seems that the person you mentioned did not regard us as opponents earlier." .”
Xuanyuan Ce snorted coldly and said: "That old man Qu Huier thinks very highly of himself. Naturally, he will not take you and the younger generation seriously. Besides, the Liang State is so powerful that there is no need for him, the Liang Guoding Sea God, to make small troubles." Take action, but after several battles, Qu Huai later realized that the Chu State was no longer the small barbarian country in the north. Its military strength was getting stronger day by day, and capable generals emerged in large numbers. It was vaguely on an equal footing with the Liang State. Only then did Fengxiang Laoer If you can’t sit still, take action personally.”
Li Mi sighed first: "It's just bad luck that I have such a strong opponent."
Xuanyuan Ce glanced at the thoughtful Sikong Li and said in a deep voice: "Please, God of War, please step aside for a moment. I have something to explain to my two disciples."
Sikong Li had no objection to this, nodded, and said to Ou Yunxi: "I have heard for a long time that Yunxi Island's martial arts is profound and profound. I just have time today. I wonder if the King of Liao can give me the honor to compete with me?"
Ou Yunxi smiled and said: "This is very suitable for me!"
After the two left Wangjiang Tower, Xuanyuan Ce gestured to the two disciples to take their seats: "I have been teaching for many years. Although I have many disciples all over the world, there are only five or six disciples who have become famous. Now you are the only two single disciples left. . I think that I, Xuanyuan Ce, have spent my whole life and left all the counselors in the world far behind. Since Long Qian's death, I have felt that there is no rival in the world, and I have the heart to retire. A mere Fengxiang can't get into my eyes. For the future The destiny of the world depends entirely on who has better methods, you two or Qu Huier."
Song Jinyang frowned and said, "Even sir, I have been defeated by this person. We and I have low abilities, how can we compare to this Fengxiang counselor?"
Xuanyuan Ce said proudly: "As my disciple, you don't have to belittle yourself. In terms of talents and strategies, Wen Yu and Guo Yuan are highly praised by me, and you, Song Jinyang, also score eight or nine points, but you two are still young. The grasp of people's hearts is still a bit weak. As for you, Song Jinyang, you are a little less talented and knowledgeable, but you are mature in your actions. You can fully assist Wen Yu. What can Fengxiang do? If you don't join forces with Long Qian, it will be difficult to defeat me. It's like ascending to the sky! As long as you two work together and don't act on your own initiative, there's nothing to fear about Qu Huier."
Li Mi nodded first and said: "What you said is absolutely true. I only lost one game and it will not hurt my muscles and bones. Now the world is in my hands. Si Air Force God and Baili Jin are unparalleled generals. The King of Liao, General Manager Liu is also a martial arts giant who can defeat hundreds of people. Compared with the Liang State, which has withered talents and is in decline, the Chu State has an advantage!"
————
In the palace of Poyang City of Chu State, Baili Jin who refused to send troops in Baishi City was sent to the main hall by Chen Xiong. Liu Huailiang, as an old colleague of Yan State in the past, although he did not hold an official position in the army, still insisted on accompanying him. Willing to be punished together. Chen Xiong stood on the high platform and asked loudly: "May I ask General Baili, has Mr. Mi Xian advised the general to order an all-out attack on Golden Wolf City?"
Baili Jin made no secret, and replied with clasped fists: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Li Mi has indeed analyzed the troop situation in Golden Wolf City at that time with the general, and it was the general who gave the order not to send troops."
Chen Xiong added: "Does the general know that the opportunity to fight is fleeting? If the general had listened to Mr. Li's advice, our Da Chu cavalry would have captured Golden Wolf City by now, and perhaps even conquered the entire Yongzhou in one go?"
Baili Jin said in a deep voice: "What your Majesty said is reasonable, but all of this is just the best assumption."
Chen Xiong heard something in Baili Jin's words and said coldly: "If you have something to say, general, just say it. I am summoning the general back to the capital today, not to raise an army to investigate."
Baili Jin smiled and said: "Then the general will not make any detours with His Majesty. Not to mention whether the information Li Mi first transmitted is true or not, as for the strength of Liang's army in Golden Wolf City, it is just a guess. If Mr. Li's prediction is good, Based on my status as Baili Jin, I have an army of 400,000, but how many of them can really command me? Attacking a city is difficult to defend. Even if the troops are superior, Liang's defenders only need to avoid fighting. Wait until Our army successfully captured Golden Wolf City. When we were short of men and horses, Li Jian's army came with great momentum, and our army had no power to fight. If Mr. Li guessed wrong, and the army was isolated and helpless outside Golden Wolf City, and if he was not careful, It is a great defeat. If everything goes as Mr. Li guessed, if all the 400,000 troops are willing to obey the orders of the last general, if the defenders in Golden Wolf City are vulnerable and are eaten by our army, then they will meet Li Jian's army. If we avoid fighting, the victory of Golden Wolf City will be surrendered, and if we fight decisively, the world will be decided in one battle. This bet is too big, I will not dare to bet, and I believe that Your Majesty is not willing to bet. Now the situation is in our hands. The country is on one side, so why should your Majesty be in a hurry? It is better to work step by step. It is better to have smaller results than to expand the damage. If time passes and we work step by step, this world will fall into your Majesty's hands sooner or later."
Chen Xiong summoned Baili Jin back to the capital this time, not intending to embarrass this person. The latter has been famous for many years and has his own unique insights into the shape of the battle. Hearing this, he nodded and said with a smile: "Since the general has this idea, I won’t go into details. With the help of the general, I am here in the capital, waiting for the general’s good news. As for Mr. Li, I will go and explain the reason to the general in person, so as to avoid any estrangement between you two. "
