Chapter 229 The Eve of War
  Wash your neck and wait to be slaughtered?

As soon as these words came out, thump thump thump! ! !
  Huo Ying took three steps back until he was blocked by a Ming army armored guard behind him with a knife.

When Huo Ying came, Dai Shan once said that when he met Wang Qi, it was impossible to make Wang Qi soft-hearted by being patient. Only singing with black and white faces could have some effect. But unfortunately, Fan Wencai came into the account and said After saying a few words, Wang Qi took him down and chopped him down.

"I, Da Jin, will not sit still and wait for death." Huo Ying wanted to give it a last try: "I still have more than 100,000 main troops. Mr. Governor, are you really sure of defeating them? Why don't you stop fighting? You have gained the city of Liaoyang, you have been rewarded by the imperial court, and you have gained fame and praise all over the world. We have gained temporary stability and have the best of both worlds, why not?"

"If I kill you, wouldn't there be more fame and praise?" Wang Qi's cold eyes were already thinking, if the envoy of Houjin continues to entangle and kill them together, why bother?

"." Huo Ying wanted to say something else, but just when he was about to speak, his peripheral vision glanced at Wang Qi's eyes. The cold murderous intent that was almost real made Huo Ying open his mouth and hurry up before he could utter the words. Swallowed it back.

With his head lowered, General Hou Jin bent down slightly, and his tone became humble and obedient again: "I will convey the full meaning of the governor to the council of kings, please don't worry!"

Those who know the times are Junjie!

Wang Qi grinned: "Go back."

Huo Ying didn't want to stay here for a moment. When Wang Qi uttered the word "go back", he wanted to turn around immediately and gallop away on his horse.

However, Huo Ying did not neglect the due etiquette at all: "Say goodbye to the respected Governor!"

"Go back," Wang Qi stood there with his hands behind his back: "Daishan only has less than three days to think about it."

"I understand! I understand, little one," Huo Ying replied, bowing and retreating.

Whoops! ! !

Whoohoo! ! !
  Calculating step by step in my mind.

Finally, after five steps, Huo Ying retreated out of the tent.

Without waiting for the guards' guidance, or even having time to see where Fan Wencai was hacked to death, Huo Ying immediately ran towards his two guards not far away after leaving the camp, and more importantly, towards his own horse. go.

Get on your horse and leave the camp immediately!

Huo Ying never wants to face Wang Qi again!
  drive! ! ! !

Huo Ying left, and inside the tent, He Kegang and Lu Xiangsheng walked in hand in hand.

"Sir, why do you want to let him go? Fan Wencai was killed, let alone a Jurchen whose hands were stained with blood?" He Kegang asked Wang Qi as soon as he entered the tent.

Lu Xiangsheng, on the other hand, bowed to Wang Qi with an expressionless face.

The difference between civilian officials and military attachés lies in this.

In fact, before Huo Ying came to visit, Wang Qi sent someone to summon He Kegang for questioning.

"It's useful for me to keep him, so it's better to take action now." Wang Qi didn't make any unnecessary explanations. He sat on the chair and pointed to the chair next to him, and said to the two of them: "Sit down."

"How are you preparing?" Wang Qi asked, but it was a question that had no beginning or end.

"Sir, everything is ready. General Lu and I will lead more than a thousand people to go north to Horqin. We have planned the route these days and have contacted Horqin through the border city. It will take about five days to reach King Horqin. Court!" He Kegang knew what Wang Qi wanted to ask, and had already made a plan before coming.

"Before leaving, I want to hear the plan of the two of you." Wang Qi only gave a general direction for going north to Horqin to borrow troops to attack gold. The specific how to do it was completely decided by the two of them.

"Sir, I believe that the troops and horses of the Horqin Palace can be used as raiding formations or flanking troops. After all, our Ming Dynasty's troops are on the frontal battlefield in this battle. The rear and flanks still need to rely on external forces to make it possible." He Kegang was the first to speak. , who has been in Liaodong for nearly ten years, and knows a lot about the soldiers and horses in the Horqin Grassland. Although his fighting skills are not as good as those of the Jurchens, he is still a considerable fighting force if he uses them well.

He Kegang analyzed and answered this matter from the aspects of necessity, possibility, and actual situation. If it were written down, it would be an excellent argumentative article for the imperial examination.

Winning a Jinshi is a sure thing.

After about a quarter of an hour, He Kegang said nothing.

"Jiandou, tell me what you think." After hearing He Kegang's words, Wang Qi didn't make any comments, but turned to look at Lu Xiangsheng, wanting to hear what this young general thought.

"The general will think that it is not important whether the soldiers and horses of Horqin Royal Court are used or not. What is important is how to use the soldiers and horses in my hand to give Jiannu a fatal blow."

Lu Xiangsheng has always been arrogant and has no interest in borrowing Horqin's troops. He only led his army north to the grassland because of Wang Qi's order. However, if Wang Qi asked him to lead his troops to conquer gold, Lu Xiangsheng would definitely choose to go north alone and fight into In the west of Liaoyang City, a battle will determine the outcome!

Just like Huo Qubing back then!

Compared with He Kegang's idea, Lu Xiangsheng is much simpler and more direct!

After all, the Northern Barbarians are foreigners who are not my race, so their hearts must be different!
  "Well," after hearing the two people's opinions, Wang Qi nodded slightly: "Both of your ideas are reasonable, but for me, I just want to win, and I don't care about the rest!"

His eyes swept over the two of them, and Wang Qi said: "He Kegang, you can contact Yue Shan to facilitate the Horqin Royal Court's troops to go out and cooperate with us in the strategic layout of the Jin Dynasty's rear area. As for how to do it specifically, the foreign commander's orders will not follow. , you decide it yourself.”

"The last will obey!"

He Kegang stood up and accepted the order.

"As for you, Lu Jiandou," Wang Qi pursed his lips, with a hint of hesitation, and asked after a while: "Do you like Huo Qubing very much?"

According to Lu Xiangsheng's plan, he was preparing to march northward alone, just like Huo Qubing when he fought with more than a hundred men against ten thousand people, killing the Hun royal court so much that they did not dare to look south.

"The sons of the Han family should take the champion as an example!" Lu Xiangsheng straightened his waist and sat upright.

"Leading more than a thousand cavalry and trekking into Puhe, there is a chance," Wang Qi said with a solemn expression: "But you must not underestimate the enemy and advance rashly. If you enter the enemy's territory alone, you must be cautious, and more cautious!"

"I will understand at the end!"

Puhe Station is located more than a hundred miles north of Shenyang City. It is connected to the Hun River. If there is an enemy situation in Puhe River, it can contain the Houjin soldiers and horses in Shenyang City.
  An hour later, as the sky grew dark, Lu Xiangsheng and He Kegang left.

The tent was still brightly lit, and Wang Qi sat alone behind the table, just staring at the candlelight on the table, in a daze.

After a while, his eyes narrowed: "In this battle, I will kill the Jurchens and wipe out their kind!"
