When the two armies are fighting, the commander is very important and the key to determining victory or defeat.
Crossing the Yangtze River in order to fight, Xiao Yuan's intentions can be said to be sinister, but a soldier can also be deceitful.
The King of Wu thought that the Qin army was really afraid of Huangfu Yuqi, so the appointment of Shuai was not sneaky, but deliberately made a big deal.
The purpose was to further deter the Qin army.
A few days later, Shuai Yin and Wang Zhao arrived at the front line at the same time.
You must know that Wu Jun does not have a commander-in-chief of the entire army, only a navy commander, and there is no need to say more about what the commander-in-chief represents.
In the big tent, Huangfu Yuqi stood in front of the tables directly above, holding the commander's seal in one hand and the royal edict in the other, looking around and saying:
"Today, I am commanding the three armies by the king's order. From now on, everything in the army must be done according to my order! All generals should also do their best to assist!"
"As ordered——" Under the king's order, all the generals responded in unison, lowered their heads, and couldn't help but look at each other.
Pei Zong also knelt on one knee, his face uncertain.
The next day, Qin camp.
Because the King of Wu did not hide it, the news that Wu Jun was appointed commander had naturally spread.
Hearing the news, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but smile heartily and said: "Okay, okay, King Wu has lived up to expectations! Our army's chance of victory is finally here!"
He was happy, and Xu Hu scratched his head and followed Silly.
Wang Su said: "The king's plan here has made the subordinates heartbroken. Now that the veteran general Shanshou has passed away, our army no longer has to worry about fighting. The next battle will determine the outcome!"
"If that's the case, then shall our army engage in a decisive battle with the Wu army immediately?" Peng Shuang received.
"There's no rush." Xiao Yuan said: "Huangfu Yuqi's arrogance will only get worse after he is appointed commander. Don't worry, he will definitely ask for a fight."
He was right. In just two days, Wu Jun was ready for a decisive battle.
In the Chinese army's tent, Huangfu Yuqi was making pre-war arrangements.
He said: "The warships of the Qin army are arranged horizontally in the water villages along the river. Once they are dispatched, they will be like a long snake, covering the river. Therefore, I intend to form a frontal array to seek a breakthrough in the center and point directly at the King of Qin. Wang Zhou!"
He used the front arrow formation for water battles. In this formation, the leading warship was in the shape of an open arrow to resist the pressure from the enemy's wings. The commander was located in the middle and rear of the formation, and the main forces were assembled in the middle. It was an offensive formation.
The generals heard the words and discussed for a while.
Pei Zong clasped his fists and said, "What does the general mean? Do you want to fight the Qin army decisively?"
"Of course." Huangfu Yuqi said concisely.
Pei Zong showed a worried look: "But from the perspective of the general, the Qin army is superior in strength and the decisive battle will not be good for me, so it is better to be cautious."
"What caution! I have been planning this battle for a long time." Huangfu Yuqi glanced at him angrily and said: "Throughout the ages, when two armies have fought, the strength of the troops has never been the key to victory, and it is still the battle between the Yangtze River and the Yangtze River. Come on, what's the Qin army to worry about! I think the old general is too cautious and is already afraid of the enemy!"
"This." Pei Zong was choked and said anxiously: "But general, if there is a decisive battle, the King of Qin will send out all his troops."
"Hmph! I'm afraid that King Qin won't accept it!" Huangfu Yuqi said.
"This, this, this." Pei Zong was not good at debating. Otherwise, he would not have been left speechless when he was appointed commander of the court. In the end, he could only kneel down on one knee and said sadly: "General, the decisive battle is over. If something happens, think twice. Once we lose, our army will be in danger!"
Even before he went into battle, he was already calling for mourning. As you can imagine, Huangfu Yuqi was immediately furious.
"Pei Zong!" He glared angrily and said sternly: "You don't want to make meritorious deeds, but the generals still want to do it! If you are afraid of the enemy, you will stay in the camp! I think that you are old and will not force you!"
"General, this is not what I mean by the end of the line. It's the King of Qin who has always been treacherous, civilized and military. He has been a soldier all his life. He has gone through many large battles. He must not be underestimated..." Pei Zong continued to advise sadly.
Huangfu Yuqi became even more angry. He was about to say something more, but at this time, General Xiang Mo stood up, cupped his fists and said: "General, Pei Zong also has good intentions. After all, the Qin army's warships must be superior in strength." For our army, once a decisive battle occurs, the outcome is unpredictable."
Seeing him coming out, Huangfu Yuqi not only did not calm down, but sneered, stared at Xiang Mo and said: "Very good, it seems that General Xiang Mo's habit of being greedy for life and afraid of death is still there."
"What do you mean!?" Xiang Mo became angry in embarrassment, but now Huangfu Yuqi is the commander-in-chief of the entire army, even if he is a general, he is still under him.
Huangfu Yuqi said: "There were rumors that during the first battle against Qin, my father's commander-in-chief was surrounded. You could have rescued me, but you abandoned the commander-in-chief in order to escape for your life! Is this possible!?"
ah! ? Xiang Mo's expression changed drastically, and his confidence suddenly became a little weak. His face turned red and he said, "No, no such thing! General, don't let it be just hearsay!"
"Hmph!" When Huangfu Yuqi mentioned his father's death, how could he give him a good look? He said angrily: "Since you are also afraid of the enemy! Then stay with Pei Zong! Fight the enemy head-on. We, Wu Jun, don't need you to do this. General!"
"You!" Xiang Mo was so angry that he couldn't bear it anymore and said angrily: "Huangfu Yuqi! You are nothing more than a child with a yellow mouth! When I went to war, you didn't know where you were! Now that I have won the commander-in-chief position, how dare you So arrogant!”
"Xiang Mo!" Huangfu Yuqi, who was more powerful than him, said coldly: "Now I am the commander-in-chief of the entire army! Do you want to commit the following crime? If you dare to speak arrogantly again, military law will be engaged!"
"You, you!" Xiang Mo pointed at him, his face red with anger, but he couldn't say a word for a long time.
Pei Zong quickly pulled him secretly, and he took a deep breath.
"Hmph!" Huangfu Yuqi snorted again and said: "Don't say that I won't give you a chance. During the decisive battle, I will leave some troops for you two. If you have guarded the camp, it can be considered a success. One piece of credit.”
Xiang Mo was so angry that he almost went crazy, but he had no choice but to endure it.
Pei Zong secretly shook his head, and in the end he could only say: "The last general takes orders."
"snort!"
I don’t know how many times I snorted coldly. After giving Pei Zong a dissatisfied glance, Huangfu Yuqi glanced around again and said in a loud voice:
"Generals, obey the order!"
Before the decisive battle, Huangfu Yuqi not only made many arrangements, but also wrote a letter of war in his own hand after the military discussion, and ordered people to cross the river in a small boat and send it to the Qin camp.
That afternoon, the letter of challenge was in Xiao Yuan's hands.
The content of his letter was full of sarcasm and humiliation. In words, he demoted the King of Qin to be worthless. He also explained the decisive battle and made Xiao Yuan wash his head.
Arrogant and arrogant, as if he is determined to win and despises everything. Anyone who reads it will probably become angry.
But instead of being angry, Xiao Yuan was overjoyed. He held the letter of war and said, "Look, Huangfu Yuqi is about to take my head on the Yangtze River!"
"This decisive battle is exactly what our army has been asking for!"
