Prime Minister take care

Chapter 150 The Last Opponent

The sky is dark, and Rangshan is like a sleeping giant shrouded in smoke, peaceful but not knowing when it will reveal its evil intentions?

Under Rangshan Mountain, Liang Jun’s camp.

The Shu army had already retreated into the Rang Mountain, but the pain caused by it made the soldiers of the Liang army unable to recover for a long time.

In the battle at the foot of Rangshan Mountain, the Shu army killed seven generals of the Liang army and repelled the [-] elite Liang army vanguard with only [-] long-term troops.

In the tent, the remaining six generals lowered their eyes and wore colorful decorations on their bodies. They each sat on one side and remained silent.

The Liang and Shu armies lost about the same amount of troops, but in the eyes of these generals, this was undoubtedly a disastrous defeat.These generals all grew up during the more than ten years that Huan Wu traveled across the Central Plains.In their impression, Liang Jun was all over the world, and how had he ever been forced to such an extent by his opponents under such advantageous circumstances.

With five thousand against three thousand, plus thirteen generals, only half of the people in the account can come back.

"Why, are you discouraged after a small defeat?"

A familiar voice came from outside the tent, and the figure outside the tent attracted the attention of everyone in the tent.When the owner of the voice walked in, all the generals who were on the couch hurriedly stood up and knelt on the ground.

These Liang generals did not expect that Huan Wu, who was supposed to be in charge of the overall situation in Wancheng, actually came to the front line in person.

"Lord!"

"Get up! You're all injured."

Huan Wu's voice was very soft, just like a father dealing with a naughty and injured child.He found a random place to sit down, waved his hand, and called all six generals to sit next to him.

"I know that in the battle you experienced not long ago, you lost your comrades around you, and it was hard for you. I also know that you have been going smoothly over the years and have never experienced such a painful lesson. But I want to tell you, Yang Xian is not included. What!"

"Lord, we are not convinced!"

Passionate and stubborn voices came out from everyone present, and Huan Wu nodded.

"It's great that you have such fighting spirit. You know, more than ten years ago, I was just an insignificant little prince. At that time, our army faced much more dangers than today, and it is also much more dangerous. Opponents like Yang Xian are everywhere. But today, where are those opponents? They are all turned into yellow mud and dry bones. Here, what I want to tell you is that one failure is nothing. What is lost this time , I will get it back from the Shu army next time. Yang Xian’s son is no bigger than a state, so even if there is a wave, our army can flatten it."

"My lord, I finally understand!"

After Huan Wu's words, the atmosphere in this tent was completely different from before.

Walking out of the tent, Huan Wu looked at the stars in the sky and took a breath of cool air.He rubbed his hands and looked at Meng Qing aside.

"Zong Shi, I have been in government affairs for a long time and am tired. I haven't been active for a long time. Please come with me for a walk!"

Meng Qing was very respectful and obedient, and followed Huan Wu.Meng Qing used to rely on his intelligence and looked down upon the world's heroes, but since he followed Huan Wu, he has learned a lot from this unparalleled hero.

Huan Wu raised his hand, laughed and cursed, and was able to revive the morale of the soldiers who had been defeated by the Shu army without any effort.You know, morale is elusive, but it is the most important thing, directly determining the combat effectiveness of an army.

The appearance of an overlord is unmistakable.

"Did Zong Shi hear what I said just now?"

"Yes!"

"What do Zong Shi think?"

"I think your lord is right!" As he reached a sparsely populated place and gradually climbed up the mountain, Huan Wu suddenly stopped and turned around with a smile.

"Zong Shi, you didn't tell the truth!"

Meng Qing was taken aback for a moment, absolutely never expecting Huan Wu to say that.

"If others can't see it, can't Zong Shi also see it? Our army is already in a dilemma."

"Sir."

Meng Qing was speechless for a moment, but Huan Wu took his hand.

"What do you mean, my lord? You are such a slippery boy. Come up with me."

In the midst of this flash, Meng Qing felt being held by a pair of thick hands and walked up the mountain.

The mountains are empty and the stars shine wildly.Huan Wu stood on the top of the mountain, stretching his shoulders and feeling a little high-spirited.

"Zong Shi! You have always been reserved and cautious. I have followed you in the past. But tonight, I want to get the truth from you. What do you think of the Battle of Nanyang?"

Seeing Huan Wu like this, Meng Qing's defenses relaxed by a third and he cupped his hands and spoke.

"My lord, in the battle of Nanyang, on the surface, Yang Xian got all his benefits and didn't lose anything. But this is the second thing. What Yang Xian really wants to attack is the lord's ability to rule the world."

"Go on!"

"Nanyang is small, but it is crucial. Before Yang Xian came, Cai Tong had actually been forced to the point of life and death. The Chu army was brave with its navy and had been contending with our army on the front line of Xiangcheng. It seemed evenly matched, but Cai Tong had already We cannot afford any defeat. If Xiangcheng is broken, our army can march straight in, occupy Jingzhou, and divide Wu and Shu. Although this road is difficult to walk, it is not impossible to walk. We are waiting for an opportunity. But now, Wan The city was lost and recovered, but our army suffered heavy losses. As long as there is no internal chaos in the Chu State, our army will have no opportunity to take advantage of it. This road has actually been blocked by Yang Xian."

Huan Wu smiled slightly and looked at the young man behind him with his head lowered.

"I read that right. Zong Shi is indeed a talented person who can help the country."

"I dare not."

"As Zong Shi said, our army is in trouble. And the culprit of all this is Yang Xian. What Yang Xian wants to defeat is not a city or a place, but our army's ability to dominate the world. Nanyang is defeated. , our army will no longer be able to take this route along the Chu Kingdom within three years. What is left is either the natural danger of the Shu Road, or it is to deal with the Wu-Chu coalition forces on the banks of the Qianli River. The former is difficult to attack, and the latter is difficult to capture. "

Having said this, Huan Wu slowed down his tone and asked, "Does Zong Shi have a way to break the situation?"

"I heard that Marquis Yan Jingyun has a daughter who is of young age and is a good match for the eldest son!"

As soon as Meng Qing finished speaking, Huan Wu's laughter resounded in his ears, very hearty.

"What a great Meng Zongshi!"

If Huan Wu marries Jing Yun, the pressure on Liang Jun in the north will be greatly reduced.Not only that, Huan Wu could also free up more hands and feet to deal with the three princes in the south, accumulate more strength, and prepare for the second battle against Shu.

Huan Wu put his hands behind his back and looked towards Rangshan Mountain in the distance. At this time, Yang Xian led the Shu army and set up defenses there.

Facing him from afar, this is a young opponent he has never seen before.Although they are of the same generation, they are not at the same time.

Huan Wu sighed softly in his heart and unconsciously touched his temples, which had already turned white.Yang Xian may be the most difficult opponent he has to face, and may also be the last opponent.
