The first meeting of King Zhengyi came in a hurry and ended in a ridiculous manner.
What happened that day was vividly reported to the ears of the chiefs of various ethnic groups in the military tent of Dongyi Camp the next day.
The armies of both sides began to mobilize frequently, constantly changing their layout around Hongze and the tributaries of the Yellow River.
I saw a reconnaissance cavalry battalion in green armor heading straight for the mouth of the sea along the Huai River. After deliberately detouring along the coastline, they went all the way north and sneaked into the border of Donglu. They continued north towards the mouth of the river. Go to Pingling City.
Early in the morning, Wu Gan blocked Meng Chang at the entrance of the camp and asked in an unhappy tone: "What do you mean by this, my lord? Is it possible that Wu Gan is not as brave as Zhong Ji? Why did he only return the Xuanwu Camp to him and let him He accepted the military order to cross the Hongze River and retreat? Also, when will you return my Fire God Camp Tiger Talisman to me?"
Mengchang had a faint headache. He suspected that if he had led troops like this for a long time, he might have to kill people in his sleep before long.
"When did I say that I was going to cross the Hongze River and go back?"
"Yesterday during the discussion, you said it in front of so many princes and generals. My lord, you have to believe me. Although Wu is not good at water fighting, as long as you return the Fire God Camp to me, I can survive the flood." Once Ze goes ashore, make sure no one can cross my line of defense."
Mengchang rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Whoever took your tiger talisman, who did you ask for it? Your tiger talisman is not here with me, so early in the morning, why are you so crazy?"
"I...I don't care. If you don't help me make the decision, how dare I ask the king for the Tiger Talisman."
Wu Gan was frightened when he remembered that when he just sent out troops, he and the king were very stubborn and he was pushed to the ground with a blaster. His nose and face were bruised and swollen after being beaten. The king's beating was really painful and it was so powerful that he wanted to resist. I tried to fight back, but I couldn't beat him, which was really frustrating.
"You used the Vulcan Camp to cross the river and fight in the water. Wu Gan, you are afraid of the king, but aren't you afraid that I will peel off your skin? Don't be stupid. Next time you say such nonsense, I will tear your mouth apart."
"But why can Zhong Ji go to war and I have to stay in the military camp? Lord, I am braver than Zhong Ji."
Meng Chang rubbed his eyebrows. He didn't know who he learned this from. He was so stubborn and arrogant.
"Listen, I never thought about going around. What Jiang Wenhuan said that day was right. That was actually what I was thinking."
"Since you can't sit still, I'll give you a job. Take a team of reconnaissance riders to find the camp of the Tori general on the bank of the Hong River a few days ago. Help me secretly shoot this letter into it and reveal it when I come back. You are a fool, deliberately letting other Yi tribes see you."
"Do you know what I'm saying?"
Wu Gan nodded hurriedly to show that he knew, but still asked doubtfully: "Master, you asked me to deliver the letter as soon as you asked me to deliver the letter. Why did you let me secretly and deliberately reveal my body?"
Meng Jibo, who had always been gentle, kicked Wu Gan on the butt and said angrily: "Think about it for yourself. Don't always ask others. Get rid of this habit in the future. Every time before asking for advice, think for yourself." Once again, you must bring your opinions and answers after every question. Otherwise, if you ask it once in the future, Nai Weng will slap you ten times. Do you understand?"
Wu Gan, who was rubbing his butt, looked innocent and did not dare to ask any more questions. After receiving the military order, he ran out. After returning to his tent, he immediately got on his horse with the Wu family's soldiers, crossed Zhongwu City, and headed towards He ran towards the Dongyi camp.
When they reached thirty miles away, there was a dense forest. There were many people in the dense forest. It was unknown how many outposts there were and how many secret sentries there were. Wu Gan scratched his head again. He pulled the guard beside him and asked, "Quickly?" Think of a way to get in without anyone noticing?"
There was a dull pain in his butt. Wu Gan reacted and subconsciously added: "I think we can set a fire to scare them away, and then we can sneak in without anyone noticing. What do you think?"
"..."
Everyone was speechless. They had never thought before that their new young master of the Wu family had fought too many battles with the wind and was not used to using his brain. He always imitated the master's bravery and had no wisdom at all.
"General, if the fire goes down, won't the enemy know that we are coming? Why are they stealing?"
"That makes sense, eh? No, do you think we can set off a big fire and burn all these 200,000 troops to death? Look, it's autumn now, the grass and trees are withered and yellow, and the bark of the trees is dry. "Fuck, if we can burn these people to death, will that be a great achievement? My Lord, I don't have to worry about floods and rivers anymore."
The guard was so frightened that he broke into sweat and immediately grabbed Wu Gan: "Don't do it, general, do you still remember the firebreak that the Lord built when he was in Yicheng to deal with the beast tide? This is not only useless, but also only increases the number of crimes. This But this mountain that stretches for three hundred miles, I am afraid your fire will not burn out for several years. Are you not deliberately helping the other side to block our attack?"
Seeing Wu Gan who hesitated to speak and began to think, the guards were a little flustered. They were really afraid that their general would come up with some magical tactics, so they immediately made suggestions.
"General, if you had said it was about delivering a message, why would we have brought so many people with us?"
"If this is not the case, you go and call the formation to invite us to fight. I will lead a few brothers to come from a distance, and then go to the Tori Camp to complete the delivery of the message. What do you think?"
Wu Gan's eyes were bright. He could not only complete the mission of the master, but also compete with the warriors on the opposite side. It was really good.
"Okay, I think so too, General. I didn't expect you to learn a lot by following me, and you actually think exactly the same as me."
Therefore, Wu Gan handed over a leather letter enclosed in a wooden tube, and immediately walked to the Dongyi camp with the guard camp.
"A certain person is the commander of the Great Shang Zhengyi King. Wu Gan, the former commander of the Vulcan Camp, has invited Yu and other commanders. Who dares to fight with me?"
There were riots in the entire Dongyi camp, and there were a lot of discussions among the camps of various clans and tribes. Dongyi had been fighting wars with the Central Plains countries for so many years. When had the proud Central Plains countries ever regarded them as "one of their own"? They had always done it when they met, but now the young coach actually invited them to come to pay their respects. This is really a strange thing.
Li Wu, who was deploying the Hongze defense line in the camp, was also confused when he heard the report. He couldn't figure out what kind of tricks Uncle Meng Ji was playing. He just said that he would make a surprise attack from behind. Now he is acting like a master. A challenge, a posture demanding a decisive battle, this...Does Uncle Ji really don't understand, or is he playing some conspiracy? We are not from the same place. What kind of war game are you playing with me?
Li Wu couldn't tell what Meng Chang's intention was for a while. The chiefs and generals of various clans thought about it for a long time but still couldn't understand the intention and reason. After discussion, all possibilities were eliminated, and there was only one possibility.
This Uncle Meng Ji is not worthy of his name. Maybe he is really a pretty boy who gained fame by flattering Emperor Xin and rose to power?
"Send the order and let Long Yi, who is good at fighting, spread the glory of Yang Lord."
The next man, a bearded man wearing a fur vest, immediately took the order. After leaving the camp, he retrieved his two door-sized axes and led his men towards the merchant army outside the camp gate.
A tall man, under the instructions of General Long Yi, walked out with a blackened stone hammer.
"Warriors of the Shang Kingdom, we mountain people are not good at horse fighting, how dare we dismount and fight?"
Wu Gan sneered and got off his horse. He had always been the vanguard general under Meng Chang. He used to lead either shield soldiers or dead soldiers who climbed first. Since the opponent insisted on choosing a fighting method that he was good at, he naturally wouldn't mind. .
The battle was about to break out, and Long Yi's warriors were seen charging forward fiercely. Stone hammers as tall as a man struck Wu Gan quickly and violently. The seemingly fierce moves looked clumsy in Wu Gan's eyes. After easily dodging the attack, With a flick of the halberd in his hand, the tip of the spear pierced the opponent's heart at a tricky angle before his castration was stable and his new strength was not unleashed.
Wu Gan killed one person in just one encounter. The boy who used to look immature at Qingyang Pass, after three years of fighting, has revealed the demeanor of a general who is calm in the face of danger. He has faced life and death on the front line countless times. After a period of training, Wu Gan saw that everyone seemed to be the first to sell out, with great momentum and high arrogance.
"Since I followed Ji Bo, I have fought in more than ten battles, big and small, and fought hundreds of thousands of people. I have been the first to ascend, capture the flag, and fall into battle. No one dares to claim to be braver than me. You guys." Isn’t this the only thing that can be used? Isn’t there anyone who can defeat a huge army of hundreds of thousands?”
"Shu Zi, arrogant!!"
Under Wu Gan's provocation, one of Longyi's warriors became furious and immediately galloped over with a spear in hand.
"General Wu, be careful..."
Wu Gan didn't care about the issue of riding or fighting on foot. He sneered and rounded the halberd in his hand like a crescent moon, flashing cold light. He missed the enemy's thrust with one rotation, and then the power of the halberd was like a huge force. With such force, he smashed the weapons of the enemy generals on the opposite side and split them in half, both men and horses.
"That's enough, do you people look down on me? I'm a former commander of the Vulcan Camp, and you always send some minions to die. Are you humiliating me?"
The angrier Wu Gan became, the stronger his momentum became. Waves of scarlet aura filled his body, as if he was really angry.
But the Dongyi army was silent and silent. They also wanted to explain that the two people who died were also the generals of the Longyi Kingdom, leading an army of ten thousand people. However, seeing that there was such a huge gap between them, no one was willing to speak out. Take the humiliation.
The general of the Longyi Kingdom who had previously entered the tent to participate in the discussion was furious. He shouted that Shuzi was going too far. He immediately picked up his two axes and exhaled a wisp of black smoke from his nostrils. His whole body exuded a volcanic eruption. The scene, with black gray and dark red lava, rushed outside the camp and started fighting with Wu Gan.
The two axes were powerful and heavy, but this person used them as light and fast as the two swords. The attacks came one after another, suppressing Wu Gan and not daring to engage in sword contact.
Now Wu Gan was satisfied, finally having an evenly matched opponent to fight with him.
After evading the investigation of many reconnaissance cavalry and secret sentries in the rear, several soldiers wearing Dashang white armor sneaked close to the Niaoyi camp.
Just thinking about how to deliver the letter became their new worry.
After thinking about it for a while, several of them were a little short-sighted and were a little stretched for a while. The soldier who thought about his itchy scalp simply didn't think much and directly stopped the Tori warriors who were patrolling along the way and said loudly.
"Everyone, by the order of Meng Jibo, the commander of Zhengyi King's Division, here is an important letter. I hope it will be delivered to you and other generals as soon as possible."
After saying that, without waiting for the enemy to encircle them, several people immediately ran backwards, away from this land of right and wrong.
Several guards were a little confused for a moment. They just held the letter in a daze and were at a loss. They didn't understand what it meant. They didn't dare to say anything or pursue, and hurriedly ran towards their general's camp.
But it was said that Xu Mu, after his defeat a few days ago, had been melancholy drinking wine in the camp to relieve his sorrow.
Xu Mu was also a little surprised when he suddenly heard that the enemy had a letter delivered to him alone. After he read through the letter, he frowned and was a little caught off guard.
I only saw the text content on it:
"The countries of Yi Fang are all in the order of the Five Emperors. In the past, we were separated by the Honghe River. I miss the general very much. I wish I could have a drink with the general again and have a long talk."
"General, you should keep your personal mission in mind. When my army is defeated...*, you can fight. Therefore, this battle will be won. General, you should take the first credit. Don't forget the promise of fighting."
"Mengchang bows down, I hope the general will think twice and don't ****."
Xu Mu looked confused and confused.
"Why did Uncle Ji go through so much trouble to send such a strange letter? What happened to these words? Why are there so many scribbled words in the letter? Is this done intentionally by Uncle Ji? Or have these messengers accidentally soaked this critical information with their sweat?”
Xu Mu felt confused and couldn't understand the meaning after thinking for a long time, so he threw the letter on the table and continued to drink.
I’m so sleepy. It’s time to go to work on Monday again and I can’t get up to code part-time. Since there are holidays in the future, I will have occasional outbursts from time to time.
