"Somebody come!"
Liu Jie's furious voice suddenly exploded in the tent.
Several guards were shocked when they heard this and rushed in quickly.
"Send the order to me and summon all the troops to stand by. I am going to kill that little Guan Cheng!"
The furious Liu Jie made several soldiers tremble in their hearts. The methods of the leader of the Jin Kingdom were something no one was willing to try. It could be said that life was worse than death. However, at the same time, the leader of the Jin Kingdom was extremely generous, such as Zuo Jun's Lin Zhiming, who was originally just a sheepherder, dealt with sheep dung all day long, and fought with wild wolves to protect the sheep, became a brigade captain in just a few years. This situation even in Zhao It is also very rare for a giant like Chu to dominate one side.
Several soldiers quickly agreed, but Liu Dang forced himself to stop.
Liu Jie then set his sights on Liu Dang, a disciple of the clan, with a strong evil look in his eyes, as if he would drag him down if he said something inappropriate.
Liu Dang swallowed hard, rolled his eyes and calmed down his mood before saying, "Your Majesty, I thought that we might have some discussions about withdrawing the troops at this time."
"snort!"
Liu Jie hummed with deep anger and a hint of murderous intent: "Discuss? Liu Sima, tell me, what are you discussing? A mere demoted prince, with some royal title, brought more than two thousand people with him. You dared to do what I did, and you also annihilated more than three thousand elites!"
At this point, Liu Jie's anger level obviously increased. He slapped the armrest of the chair, stood up with a bang and roared: "Those are more than 3,000 elites! Not more than 3,000 chickens!"
"Let me discuss this. If I don't even dare to touch this prince with a false name, how will the world view me and me, Daijin, in the future?"
"It's just the right time to have such a prince come to my door, and I can use him to establish my authority!"
"I want to build a palace in the capital, and I want the remnants of Peng Shu to watch it carefully. What will happen if you go against me!"
"What your Majesty said is absolutely true, but..." When the words came to his lips, Liu Dang did not dare to say them. Instead, he raised his head slightly and glanced up at Liu Jie's eyes.
"Say what you have to say, don't make such a gesture!" Liu Jie noticed this little action. After the angry roar, he dropped a little. Liu Jie sat back on the chair, still looking unkind, but he could still listen. As soon as I heard it.
"It's your Majesty." After receiving a positive answer, Liu Dangcai said again: "Your Majesty, although the coalition forces of Peng and Shu have been discouraged and huddled in Yuhang County and did not dare to attack, their number is at least thirty thousand. The armor and equipment are also relatively complete, and after days of fighting, the Peng-Shu coalition forces are already at the end of their strength. If they mobilize troops and horses to encircle and suppress the Jin army at this time, it will definitely give Peng and Shu's armies a chance to breathe. By then, it will take a lot of effort to annihilate our army. The price is more than four thousand people."
Liu Jie naturally knew this, and the entire Jin Kingdom had been preparing for this battle for several years. It was naturally impossible for him to give up just like that when success was imminent.
It's just that it's hard to calm down. There are more than 3,000 people, but they are still the most elite left army.
The balance in the Jin army was a bit delicate. If Yan Tao defeated the Jin army, not only would they lose their most elite combat force, but Liu Jie would also lose the most powerful sword to balance the other four sima.
"Your Majesty, I have something to say."
Cao Ju also stood up. The most serious casualties of his men in this siege were more than 2,000 people. Naturally, he was unwilling to give up. What's more, he wanted to avenge Yan Tao, who was usually so arrogant. He had a trick in his mind. went.
Yuhang County contains the wealth of the entire Peng State. Isn't Yuhang County, which has been prosperous for hundreds of years, more attractive than Yan Stoutui?
"tell me the story."
"Promise." Cao Ju said: "Your Majesty, I think what Liu Sima said is not unreasonable, and the Jin army will definitely pass by Dajin all the way to the west. Du Sima will be there by then, and the remaining troops in the Jin military region will not be enough. I'm worried, besides, Yan Sima's subordinates still have more than 6,000 people. I think that Yan Sima is called the number one in our Great Jin Army, and his subordinates are also top-notch elites. This kind of humiliation must be intolerable, so why not order Yan Sima to do so? Wouldn’t it be better to gather the remaining troops and completely destroy the Jin army?”
When Liu Jie heard this, he was right. After pondering for a while, he said, "It makes some sense."
When everyone heard this, they were slightly relieved. They couldn't throw away all the fruits they were about to get for Yan Tao.
Even Liu Dang, who is a member of the clan, felt particularly dazzling when he saw Yan Tao. In a word, he could not be beaten and looked down upon.
"Lu Zhou."
"I'm here."
"Tell me too."
Lu Zhou promised to glance at Liu Dang and Cao Goucai and said: "Your Majesty, I also think that the first priority is to capture Yuhang County. At present, there are still more than 30,000 people in the Peng-Shu coalition. If they can recover even one or two after rest, The combat strength is not a small threat to our army. Although the soldiers have been fighting hard for days, the overall morale is not bad. If we withdraw in a hurry, we may damage the morale of the army and the gain will not be worth the loss."
"Besides, there is one more point, which is very important." Lu Zhou said these words very seriously, which attracted the attention of Liu Jie and his ministers.
"Oh? What is it?"
Liu Jie became interested. Lu Zhou may have the lowest presence among the five commanders of the Jin Kingdom, and he has never been known for his bravery. On the contrary, in terms of military force, Lu Zhou may not even be able to compare with a company commander, but Lu Zhou was not only the legitimate son of Lu Yi, the chief minister of the Jin Kingdom, but also the proud disciple of the great scholar Zhu Luo.
Moreover, he has been known to outsiders for his intelligence since he was a child. He is a wise general among the Jin Army. He sees many problems more thoroughly, so he is deeply trusted by Liu Jie.
Lu Zhou said solemnly: "The emperor's Tongshi has declined. He has no more than a hundred counties under his jurisdiction and most of them are enclaves. The only place he can directly control is only one county. However, the people of the world still recognize the Tongshi. Although the princes annexed and warred, But he still superficially recognizes the identity of the co-owner of Tongshi. Therefore, Guan Cheng still has a huge advantage in name."
"Furthermore, it has been ten years since Guan Cheng was the eldest son and he was granted the title of Crown Prince. I had never heard of any extraordinary behavior before. However, he was suddenly demoted as King of Jin and was assigned to Western Xinjiang to take charge of more than 30 counties. Is there anything in this? We don't know the reason, and we haven't even looked into Emperor Tong's will."
"But no matter what, the prince of Guan Cheng is a confederate from the emperor. If we kill him or not kill him but capture him alive, what will everyone in the world and the princes do?"
"If nothing else, let's just say that the Liang State in the west has long been dissatisfied with us for being enemies with Peng Shu. If it weren't for the Zhou State, it is very likely that they would have sent troops to attack me."
"And Duke Zhou is the brother-in-law of Emperor Tong. Will Duke Zhou be dissatisfied if we are in trouble? If Duke Zhou is dissatisfied and no longer protects us, will the Liang Kingdom send troops to attack me?"
"If I, Dajin, bear the infamy of killing my superiors, it would be a right thing for anyone in the world to attack me. That would mean we are surrounded by enemies on all sides. Although our army is strong, it only numbers fifty thousand. How can we resist it then?"
"So I believe that the Jin army can pursue it appropriately, but it is not the time to destroy it yet. I hope your Majesty will think again."
These words directly caused the monarchs and ministers present to fall into deep thought. Everyone seemed to have ignored these things!
In troubled times, strength is everything. How can a mantis stalking a cicada know that there is no oriole behind it?
