Faced with Tang Peng's unabashed questioning, Yang Chongqing faced his gaze and gave the answer.
"I sent a letter to Luo An last night..."
After hearing this, the anger in Tang Peng's heart almost overflowed. He watched Yang Chongqing preach word by word:
"Marshal Yang is of great importance. Since your order has not been authorized by the Chief Assistant, our Hujie Army will suspend the execution of your order!"
"When you get the authorization from the Chief Assistant, our Hujie Army will continue to execute your military orders!"
After he finished speaking, Tang Peng ignored Yang Chongqing and turned around to leave the room. But before he could take a few steps, Yang Chongqing's voice came from behind him again.
"I am the Grand Marshal of the World's Arms and Horses appointed by the Imperial Court. All the Imperial Army's armies and horses are under my control. Commander Tang, if you disobey the order now, I have the right to immediately dismiss you from your post and escort you back to Luo'an." Let the court deal with it!"
As soon as these words came out, Tang Peng immediately stopped. After a few seconds, he turned around to Yang Chongqing, who had a serious look on his face. He didn't speak but put one hand on the handle of the knife at his waist!
Yang Chongqing ignored him and continued to preach:
"Although Tang Peng is not a famous general, you are still a veteran who has been fighting for half his life. You should understand some basic military common sense!"
"You don't need me to tell you what the situation is now, you should know it very well..."
"After Fengwu's army broke through Heyi County, the situation in Yunbin collapsed. Although our movements were fast, Yuan Song's movements were faster than ours. We have lost the upper hand!"
"In this current situation, what do you think we should do?"
"Pull all the troops to the vicinity of Jinyang and have a decisive battle with the Fengwu Army? Then wait for the Fengwu Army cavalry in Pingyang to cut our retreat?"
Faced with a series of questions from Yang Chongqing, Tang Peng was also speechless. He thought for a long time before he finally came up with a sentence.
"Jinyang is the top priority of Yunbin's situation. The chief minister, Lord Shangshu, has also ordered that Jinyang must be preserved. Marshal Yang, how dare you disobey military orders?"
When Tang Peng heard this, he snorted coldly and said calmly:
"Commander Tang, you've never heard of the words "I will not accept your order, right?"
"Although Lord Chief Assistant has ordered us to defend Jinyang, he doesn't know the situation we are encountering right now!"
"I believe that Mr. Shoufen, the old man, is also aware of the situation we are facing today, and he will also agree with our approach!"
Hearing what Yang Chongqing said, Tang Peng opened his mouth and retorted:
"Marshal Yang, I really disagree with your opinion. The morale of our army is now at its peak, and it is a good time to fight the enemy decisively. As long as our army can complete the victory in one battle, the entire Yunbin situation will be rewritten..." ·························》
Seeing that Tang Peng placed all his hopes on the so-called victory in one battle, Yang Chongqing showed a look of disappointment in his eyes and said:
"It's okay for the soldiers below to follow the fanaticism. Tang Peng, you participated in the first Yunbin War. Why do you still have such unrealistic illusions?"
"If the commander-in-chief of the Fengwu Army Yun Bing is that idiot Lin Huaiwu, you might actually have a glimmer of hope of winning, but what we are facing now is Yuan Song!"
"And Ye Mingsheng also spent a lot of money to win the Battle of Yunbin, and gave Yuan Song two more divisions with more than 35,000 people, and dozens of cannons!"
"Have you ever thought about what would happen if you failed in the decisive battle?"
As soon as these words came out, Tang Peng was speechless again and could only utter nonsense:
"The Fengwu Army spends countless amounts of money and food every day on expeditions. As long as our army can persist in adapting to changes, the Fengwu Army's logistics guarantee will be in crisis sooner or later. By then, Yuan Song will definitely be more anxious than us. , when he can't help but attack Jinyang, we can take the opportunity to make a surprise attack!"
Yang Chong
Qing sighed and said:
"Commander Tang, you are right. The Fengwu Army consumes a lot every day, and they won't be able to hold on for long!"
"But I would like to trouble you, before you think about joining the military, can you think about our situation..."
"Commander Tang, even if you don't care about the government affairs, you should know a thing or two about the government's money, food and finance. You can't support us fighting outside for a long time!"
"We are even more unable to hold off than the Fengwu Army. Every day we are left behind, our situation will become more passive!"
Listening to Yang Chongqing's words, Tang Peng seemed to be aware of the danger of the situation, and his position was a little wavering:
"Is this the only way left?"
Seeing that Tang Peng's attitude was wavering, Yang Chongqing also had a glimmer of hope in his eyes and said again:
"Commander Tang, if everyone loses their land, everyone will lose their land. If everyone loses their land, everyone will survive!"
"We have lost the upper hand now. Jinyang is a trap set by Yuan Song. It is almost impossible for us to complete the order of the Chief Assistant!"
"But as long as we can complete the current battle plan, we can completely cut off one of the major advantages of the Fengwu Army. And the Fengwu Army occupies so many cities and counties, it will inevitably divide the Fengwu Army into garrison, and the Fengwu Army There are only these people on the Yunbin battlefield!"
"So don't be afraid that the Fengwu Army will occupy Jinyang. If the Fengwu Army occupies Jinyang, how many people can the Fengwu Army bring out to fight us?"
"How the Fengwu Army captured Jinyang will determine how we can take Jinyang back in the future!"
"The most important thing for us now is to defeat the offensive momentum of the Fengwu Army! This is the most important thing at the moment... ·······》
"Although the impact of the fall of Jinyang is very bad, as long as we can win elsewhere, we can offset the impact of the fall of Jinyang!"
"Although Wang Muzhi is only a good general in terms of fighting skills, I deeply agree with some of his views on the Fengwu Army!"
"The internal conflicts in the Fengwu Army are actually no less than those in the imperial court, but they were all suppressed by Ye Mingsheng. No one in the Fengwu Army dared to disobey Ye Mingsheng's will!"
"The most important support for Ye Mingsheng's power comes from the continuous victories of the Fengwu Army. Once the momentum of the Fengwu Army's offensive is knocked out, Ye Mingsheng's power will be weakened!"
"At that time, the internal conflicts within the Fengwu Army will no longer be able to be suppressed, and that thief Ye Mingsheng will also be counterattacked by power, and he will taste the consequences of what he has sown with his own hands!"
After hearing Yang Chongqing's sincere persuasion, Tang Peng also fell into silence. Seeing this, Yang Chongqing also looked at him expectantly.
Although he has decided to implement his battle plan no matter what for the last hope of the imperial court, if Tang Peng insists on having his own way, he will be captured!
But no matter what, Tang Peng is the commander of the Hujie Army, the military attache second only to himself in the Forbidden Army, and the Duke of Chu in the imperial court, representing the noble faction. Taking him down will have a very bad impact, and may even It will make Shangguan Changgong suspicious of himself...
In addition, half of the Forbidden Forces participating in the Battle of Yunbin were from the Hujie Army. Tang Peng had many cronies in the Hujie Army. Now that he had taken down their commander, it would inevitably lead to internal chaos within the Hujie Army. Shocking, once Tang Peng's cronies clamor to see Tang Peng, it will be more or less a headache!
Therefore, considering all the circumstances and not considering the situation as a last resort, Yang Chongqing did not want to win Tang Peng. This is why he talked so much with Tang Peng and wanted to win Tang Peng's support. If Tang Peng was a small person, He didn't bother to waste so much time talking to him, so he just killed him if he didn't obey!
After struggling for a cup of tea, Tang Peng ended his contemplation and raised his head to look at Yang Chongqing. His Adam's apple rolled and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva before he said with difficulty:
"Commander Yang, please explain to me how sure you are that you can complete your battle plan!"
Faced with Tang Peng's answer, Yang Chongqing also thought about it and said:
"I'm definitely not 100% sure, but if the plan goes well, I'm 60-70% sure that I can complete the battle plan!"
"Of course Yuan Song is not willing to trade with us, that is the best situation for us!"
Hearing Yang Chongqing's answer, Tang Peng nodded silently and felt something in his heart. The fall of Jinyang would definitely destabilize the court, but what Yang Chongqing said was right. If they could accomplish this combat goal, they could hedge against Jinyang. The influence of Yang deficiency···································
In this way, the fall of Jinyang will not have as big an impact as imagined, and completing this combat goal is equivalent to breaking an arm of the Fengwu Army, which will have many benefits for the next battle!
Thinking of this, Tang Peng basically agreed to Yang Chongqing's plan, but there was one thing he needed to explain clearly to Yang Chongqing, and he immediately raised his head and looked at Yang Chongqing.
Seeing this, Yang Chongqing also understood Tang Peng's eyes and took the initiative to say:
"I will report to the Chief Assistant that this matter was done by me alone. I coerced Commander Tang to make you do this. The matter has nothing to do with Commander Tang and you. If the incident is investigated by the court, I, Yang Chongqing, will bear all the responsibility. I won’t implicate you, Commander Tang!”
As soon as these words came out, Tang Peng no longer had any scruples, and he cupped his hands towards Yang Chongqing and said:
"I will lead the Tiger Army to carry out your orders, Marshal Yang. I hope your judgment is correct, Marshal Yang!"
After receiving Tang Peng's promise, a smile finally appeared on Yang Chongqing's face. He nodded and said:
"Thank you for your trust. We will definitely win this war! The world of Da Zhou will never fall into the hands of Ye Mingsheng!"
When Tang Peng heard this, there was a hint of hope in his eyes, and then he nodded heavily and walked out of the door.
After Tang Peng left, Yang Chongqing turned his attention to the sand table again, with a look of expectation in his expression.
Now that he, Yang, has led the imperial army to show off his sword, how will Yuan Song respond...

Hanyang, Sun Mansion
A group of military and political dignitaries from the Chu army gathered in the conference room of the mansion. At this time, Lin Jiesheng, the governor of Jingchu on behalf of the Luo'an court, stood up and pointed at Sun Chenggong, who was sitting in the chair, and blamed him:
"Young Marshal, I heard that the Chu army has been preparing for war. I wonder what you want to do?"
Facing Lin Jiesheng's censure, Sun Chenggong's eyes flashed with murderous intent, but at this moment he still spoke clearly as if nothing had happened:
"In Massachusetts, some banditry has appeared in the Xiaochuan area, and the people who disturb it cannot live in peace. Therefore, I want to send troops to exterminate this group of bandits and restore a peaceful world to the people. I wonder what you think, Governor Lin?"
Regarding Sun Chenggong's answer, Lin Jiesheng didn't buy it. He snorted coldly and said:
"Since this is Massachusetts and there is banditry in the Xiaochuan area, why did the Chu army move to the Heshan area in the south?"
Seeing Lin Jiesheng's reluctance, Sun Chenggong couldn't help but narrowed his eyes. Seeing this, his confidant Sun Dafu also stood up and angrily said:
"Who do you think you are, Lin Jiesheng? It's not your turn to talk nonsense and make irresponsible remarks about the Chu army's deployment!"
Facing Sun Dafu's angry rebuke, Lin Jiesheng couldn't help but sneered and said:
"The whole world is not the king's land, and the shores of the land are not the king's ministers. Since Jingchu has come under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, it should obey the imperial court's will. Young Marshal, do you think I am right?"
After finishing his words, Lin Jiesheng looked at Sun Chenggong who was sitting in the main seat again. As Lin Jiesheng spoke, the eyes of other people in the room were also focused on Sun Chenggong... ·····················
Although Sun Chenggong wanted to draw his sword and chop the deceitful Lin Jiesheng to death on the spot, under the gaze of everyone, Sun Chenggong could only force out a smile and said:
"Governor Lin, you are right. Since Jingchu has come under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, it is natural that it must obey the imperial court's will!"
Hearing what Sun Chenggong said, Lin Jiesheng looked around and became more and more proud and continued:
"The imperial court hopes that you, Marshal, can protect the country and the people and not cause too many troubles. I believe you can understand, Marshal!"
When Sun Chenggong heard this, he could hardly suppress the anger in his heart. At this moment, the teacher Cheng Pingzhi on the side gave him a look. Seeing this, Sun Chenggong endured the humiliation and nodded under Lin Jiesheng's gaze.
Seeing this, Lin Jiesheng, who thought he had won a great victory, also smiled and bowed to Sun Chenggong and said:
"Young Marshal, you are truly a loyal minister and good general of the imperial court. I will go back to the Chief Assistant now to write a letter, asking the Chief Assistant to commend you, Young Marshal... ··········》
