Yan Shi's death was unjust, and Li Po's fault was all blamed on him, but who made Li Po the general of the Yan Kingdom?
The news was spread back to Yandu. After hearing this, King Yan was filled with grief and anger, and said repeatedly:
"How could King Xuan do this? He ignored the etiquette of diplomatic relations and killed my envoy!"
"Your Majesty, I...I heard that General Li Po also killed the envoy." A minister said cautiously.
"This, this, this." King Yan was speechless.
At this time, King Liang also led the Liang army and began to approach Yue Zheng from behind.
On the coalition side, Xiao Yuan immediately launched an attack on Xinxiang based on Lin Chu's military intelligence.
I originally thought that Yue Zheng would defend for a while, but the latter had already learned the news. In order to prevent the Liang army from cooperating with Qin Xuan and causing his own side to fall into siege, he evacuated Xinxiang directly and quickly withdrew from the Liang army's flank. clamp range.
Subsequently, the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms met in Xinxiang, with a total of 370,000 troops.
After the three kings met, King Liang strode over, smiled heartily, then cupped his hands, bowed to each other, then looked at Xiao Yuan and said:
"Brother King Qin, my Liang army is traveling lightly and hastily to support Qin Xuan. Isn't it too slow?"
"Yes, the contribution of the Liang Army in the battle to destroy Yan cannot be erased." Xiao Yuan nodded and had to admit the results of the Liang Army's war.
"Haha!" King Liang laughed again, looked at King Xuan again, and said cheerfully: "King Xuan's sister is still as charming as ever, but I heard that you killed the Yanshi?"
King Xuan glanced at him and said lukewarmly: "If he kills your envoy, will you kill him?"
"Haha, that's true, that's true." King Liang asked for his own displeasure and couldn't help but laugh.
Afterwards, the three kings naturally started a simple banquet in the hall.
"Oh, you two don't know how uncomfortable it is for me to be trapped in Shucheng. But fortunately, our Liang army is determined to fight hard. If you want to trap me to death, Zhang Xi is a little too young. ."
At the banquet, King Liang couldn't help but sigh.
When King Xuan heard this, he sneered and said: "You massacred more than 100,000 people in Shucheng, and the blood flowed like a river. Are you afraid that the world will say something about you?"
"Hmph! Those literati just love to write random things! Let them go! What's the point of fear!" King Liang dismissed it.
King Xuan stopped talking.
King Liang looked around again and couldn't help but said: "Everyone in Shu City is vulgar and vulgar, but I don't know that there are top-notch beauties in Xinxiang City. It would be good to capture her to serve her."
Seeing that every time he ate, he always had beautiful women as his companions. King Xuan couldn't help but frown slightly, feeling a sense of disgust in his heart.
Xiao Yuan smiled and said: "Brother Liang Wang, please put these things aside during the battle. Important matters are important."
"Haha, I'm just talking, that's not all." King Liang said haha, and then said: "But now, our three-nation coalition forces have joined forces, with a total of 370,000 troops, and we can carry out a head-on battle against Yue Zheng's troops. Press in and defeat them all the way to Yandu."
"Yes." Xiao Yuan nodded and said, "But the Ling Army needs to be urged again. It's impossible to let him wait outside Yandu for us to get there."
"That's right!" After hearing this, King Liang immediately said: "This old fox, King Ling, wants to exterminate the flames while also preserving his strength. How can there be such a good thing in the world!"
Obviously, King Liang was somewhat resentful of King Ling's delay in resolving the siege.
After a discussion, the current situation of the battle was finalized. Afterwards, the coalition forces rested in Xinxiang for three days and began to launch a strong attack on Yue Zheng's First Division and implement a full-scale advance.
Yue Zheng didn't want to fight, but Xiao Yuan forced him to fight!
If you don't fight, you have to retreat. Once you retreat, the coalition forces will take a step further.
The war situation is very clear. With Yue Zheng's current military strength, he can't plan anything. Facing the divisions of Qin, Xuan, and Liang, the three kingdoms can only retreat steadily.
A few days later, three letters were sent to the Spirit King again.
This time, it was written by the monarchs of the Three Kingdoms.
There is no need to say more about the content of the letter. At this point in the war, King Ling was under pressure and had no choice but to choose a decisive battle with Zhang Xi.
Between 160,000 and 180,000, King Ling was sure of victory, because although the strength of the two sides was almost the same, Zhang Xi's side was obviously deficient overall.
On the Lingguo side, the commander-in-chief Huang Zu, the general Ye Gui, and the counselor Cheng Ping were all top-notch figures.
As for the Yan Army, Zhang Xi is just a general under Yue Zheng and has no commanding ability, and General Li Po is not here yet.
After reading the three letters, King Ling immediately announced the order for a decisive battle, and then started a military discussion with the generals.
He also handed over the command of the Ling Army to Huang Zu and asked him to lay out the battle plan.
It can be seen from this that King Ling has trust in Huang Zu, or in other words, whether a king can use troops is not important, what is important is that he can use people.
After Huang Zu accepted the order, he immediately had the military map hung up, pointed at the map with his war sword and said:
"Our army is currently more than a hundred miles away from Yandu, and here, Zhang Xi's 180,000-strong army has set up a defense line."
As he spoke, he pointed a place on the map with the edge of his sword and said:
"Since the king wants a decisive battle, the general recommends that we decide the outcome in one battle. When facing the enemy, we can use the rear flying geese formation against the Yan army."
After hearing this, the counselor Cheng Ping said: "But general, I heard that there are disadvantages in the weak commander of the Yan-shaped formation?"
"Master Cheng is worrying too much. With General Ye Gui here, it doesn't matter."
Huang Zu said directly, which shows the role of the general's courage in the decisive battle.
And what he said is that the two wings are turned back to form a wing shape, with the sharp end in the middle being the foot.
He continued to make arrangements: "At that time, General Ye Gui will lead the infantry and directly break through the middle of the Yan Army. Then, the generals of each department will look at my flag. The rear flying goose formation will change into the front flying goose formation, so as to achieve a breakthrough in the middle and double flanks. strategic purpose."
The Spirit King nodded repeatedly while listening.
Huang Zu looked around: "Do you understand everything?"
"Yes!" All the generals clasped their fists.
Huang Zu looked at Ye Gui again, because he was the most important part of this battle.
When the latter saw this, he immediately said in a trembling voice: "Please don't worry, Your Majesty and Huang Shuai! If you can't complete the task, I will come to see you in the end!"
"Okay! You said this yourself! I will treat you as a military order!" Huang Zu took advantage of the situation and said.
"Why don't you dare! A military order is a military order!"
Ye Guina was unambiguous. He was very young, less than thirty, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a resolute appearance, and a straightforward personality.
When King Ling saw this, he was secretly amused and thought that Huang Zu would be very excited and interesting.
Next, Huang Zu made another detailed strategic arrangement. After explaining everything, he looked at the Spirit King again and tentatively said: "Your Majesty."
"Yes." King Ling nodded and said directly: "According to General Huang Zu's arrangement, we will have a decisive battle with Zhang Xi in two days!"
