After all, the situation is not optimistic. There are still many areas for cooperation with Peace and King Xi in the future. We should not say anything that is not conducive to unity.
A faint smile appeared on the corner of King Pingxi's lips, he turned to look at Nie Chen and said,
"You, General Nie, supported the new emperor and were named the great general of the country. You commanded the army of the country. If you have not made any achievements, will the people obey you?
You only have 300,000 soldiers and horses, can you deal with the powerful enemies surrounding you? "
King Pingxi's words directly revealed his thoughts.
Nie Chen laughed and said,
"My eldest brother understands me. He knows that if I want to serve the emperor and not be a subordinate, I need merit to prove myself and win the hearts of the people, so he gave me these two meritorious deeds.
Knowing that I had few soldiers and horses, and knowing that I liked to collect surrendered soldiers, they gave me all the opportunities for these two battles, and let me defeat them to replenish my troops.
You are indeed a good big brother to me, Nie Chen. I admire you! "
Nie Chen asked this not for himself, but for his subordinates.
After all, those people have been aggrieved by the fact that King Pingxi deliberately slowed down the progress.
Now that I can explain this matter to King Pingxi, I can also understand one of their concerns.
King Pingxi said,
"If I were to fight against this 400,000-strong army, the enemy might be wiped out, and my 500,000-strong army might only have 400,000 left.
But if I let you come, after two battles, your 300,000 troops will become 500,000. This is the difference between you and me.
They are all children of Feng Ren, so it is better to kill less. "
"What the elder brother said is absolutely true."
Nie Chen nodded.
King Pingxi is not a person who likes nonsense, so he said straight to the point,
"Now our two armies have joined forces and have arrived at the city to eliminate the traitor Mingxuan. It only takes a day and night, but the situation is still serious.
Today, I received a report from the Red Armored Guards. Juan'er, come and tell us about it. "
Ling Juan nodded, stood up, and said,
"We got three pieces of news today. The first one is that King Anton has announced that he will establish a country and proclaim himself emperor. The name of the country will be Anguo. The enthronement ceremony will be held in ten days. When the enthronement is completed, troops will be sent to attack We are not sure which direction we will focus on.
Second, King Jingshan also announced that he would proclaim himself emperor under Mingxuan's persuasion, and the name of his country would be Jingguo. The three of them discussed that they would join forces to drive us all out.
Third, the envoys sent by Mingxuan have arrived at Bianjing, the capital of Qi State. It is unknown how the Qi State royal family negotiated with them. "
After speaking, Ling Juan sat down.
Ouyang Ming said,
"My lord, prince, Mingxuan knows better than anyone else that his current situation is in danger, so in a desperate situation, any conditions may be granted.
In order to get reinforcements from the State of Qi, he would agree to cede territory, pay indemnity, and become a vassal. And the State of Qi had an army of 500,000 troops outside Zhennan Pass.
Regardless of whether they have cooperated with Mingxuan or not, they must have a motive to display large armies at our border. They will definitely take advantage of our country's civil strife to send troops to our country.
As for King Andong and King Jingshan, they must have been frightened by us. They thought that after we eliminated Mingxuan, we would immediately attack them and destroy them, so they simply used offense as defense and wanted to eliminate us first.
In other words, what we need to face now is a joint attack from the four major armies. "
Mr. Jin smiled and said,
"You are still fighting too fiercely. In more than a month, the 400,000-strong army was wiped out by you. How can the enemy not be afraid?"
King Pingxi shook his head and said,
"No, what the enemy is afraid of is not the combat effectiveness of your army. They are simply afraid of Nie Chen."
"Um?"
Everyone under Nie Chen looked at King Pingxi in surprise.
They didn't understand what was so scary about their lord, who had no fighting ability and was not good at arranging troops.
"No need to be surprised, the enemy is afraid of Nie Chen because of his uncanny ability to recruit and surrender.
For more than a year, any army that was hostile to Nie Chen would basically be used by him in the end. This was true for Ning Wushuang's army, Mingwu's army, and Pang Shou's army.
Who wouldn't be afraid of such an enemy who has the ability to turn enemies into friends?
No one has Nie Chen's ability.
Therefore, the enemy fears Nie Chen more than he fears me. "
When Nie Chen heard this, he immediately became happy and laughed loudly and said,
"Hahaha, I'm not as powerful as my elder brother said. I just have an eloquent tongue, unparalleled affinity, and a compassionate and benevolent heart. It's not that powerful."
"Yes, plus the shamelessness of a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, he is really invincible."
King Pingxi said after finishing his sword,
"So many miscellaneous troops would have been in chaos long ago if they were put into other people's armies. However, they can be twisted into a unified force under yours. It's not easy. I need to learn more from you."
Nie Chen smiled and said,
"Between you and me, brothers, let's not say these polite words, let's talk about the upcoming war.
The enemy currently has 200,000 troops guarding the city. Even if we have a million troops, it will not be easy to attack by force. "
King Pingxi nodded and said,
"Indeed, Ren Jun is a famous general in the world. It will not be easy to capture the capital from his hands. I think you also understand how capable Ren Jun is and you need to deploy good tactics."
"Ren Jun? It's okay. I have a way to deal with him."
Nie Chen shook his head easily.
"Do you have a way? What way?"
"Hehe, we will find out tomorrow. If he can fight, we won't fight him. Can't we just change him to a commander who is easy to fight?"
"Is it like when you attacked Wang'an County before? I'm afraid it won't be easy. Mingxuan has already been fooled once, will he be fooled a second time?
Can your conspiracy be used a second time now? "
"There is no need for a conspiracy this time. We will use a conspiracy to force him to leave."
Seeing Nie Chen's confident look, King Pingxi didn't say anything more.
At this moment, a guard came in from outside the camp, hugged his hands and said,
"Prince Qi, a Korean envoy came from outside the camp and brought many gifts. He said he wanted to see Lord Nie."
"Meet me? Did they say anything?"
Nie Chen asked.
"Back to the Marquis, the envoy didn't say anything. He just named you and said he wanted to see you."
King Pingxi said,
"The two armies are fighting. Bu Zhan is here to send the envoy. Let him come in. We would like to see what the envoy wants to do."
"yes!"
Not long after, Mingxuan's envoy entered the commander's tent, followed by several people carrying two large boxes.
What surprised Nie Chen was that there was a beautiful woman in the messenger team.
what does it mean?
Is there a woman running the house now?
