Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 394 The Golden Army Begins to Attack
When the Jin army was in action, Wang Xiu disposed of Zhe Yanzhi's corpse and basically controlled the order of the Chinese army's camp.

These troops in the Chinese army's camp are not close friends of Orihiko. As the new deputy envoy of Xuanfu, Orihiko has no chance to cultivate cronies. To his surprise, half of the Chinese army are from the Western Army or Dianqian Division. There are not many soldiers from Hedong, and even the Xuanfu Division guards do not have many close followers. The Great Song system once again helped Wang Xiu, which made him feel that it is not without merit.

He immediately summoned all the ministries and generals in the whole village to give lectures, asking everyone to be sincere and united, and not to make moths during the war, and severely reprimanded Zhe Yanzhi for his cowardly behavior, stating that he may not be able to save everyone's life, but he will definitely lead most people If you kill the sky, you will never sit back and watch the officials collapse.

Wang Xiu's reputation can now be said to be a gold-lettered signboard. He is awarded Jinshi and ranks, and he has never lost a battle with his troops.No matter how much he humiliates Orihiko, for the middle and lower ranks, the commander is the one who can lead them alive. You are the Zhao official's family, you can't guarantee everyone's life, and no one will really drag you.

As for Wang Xiu, he can only lead the majority of people alive, and no one cares about it. If he dares to say that only one person will not die, that is nonsense. There is no one who is immortal in a war. .

It can be said that Wang Xiu succeeded in impressing most people, and it can even be said that Orihiko's unsophisticated tactics disappointed many people, and they could not have real confidence in Deputy Xuanfu.When they were most helpless, Wang Xiu let them see a glimmer of hope. It should be the hope of life. Even though it is still possible to die in battle, there is hope after all. Isn't the reason why people can sustain it is because they have hope in their hearts? ?

Wang Xiu was very satisfied, and he didn't need to divide his troops to prevent possible riots. At least these officials could obey orders, and his chances of success increased by several levels.In this regard, he made an admirable and surprising decision. The guards of the Xuanfu Division were not disbanded, but as his new guards, responsible for his safety during the war. The Yanzhi guards stayed behind, no matter what the purpose was, they could see the open mind.

However, just as he was stabilizing the army in the middle of the night, another unexpected visitor came.

Tao Xuanqian, the staff officer of the Xuanfu envoy, a man of wisdom and courage, his arrival made Wang Xiu nervous. Any small trouble may cause a big problem.

"Why is your lord sitting in the handsome tent?" Tao Xuanqian's first sentence came in, his eyes were already suspicious.

"Can't I just sit here?" Wang Xiu was a little nervous, but she wasn't afraid of things. She was just a literati, and she had a bad temper, but she didn't have much lethality.

"Where is Xuanfu?" Tao Xuangan stared at Wang Xiu with sharp eyes, almost stripping him naked.

Wang Xiu hesitated a little, but still said casually: "Xuanfu prevented the troops from sending troops to fight against the captives, but the generals were angry and killed Xuanfu by mistake."

"My lord, you are so bold to kill the ministers of the imperial court." Tao Xuanqian is not a fool, what generals are angry and kill them by mistake, isn't that nonsense!Surrounded by nearly ten thousand people in the Chinese army, who would dare to confront Orihiko and find death?
Wang Xiu frowned slightly, and said seriously: "You can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately. Xuanfu gathered his troops to protect himself and bring about his own destruction. The generals also wanted the lives of more than one hundred thousand people. Who would have thought that Xuanfu would go his own way and kill people?" Liwei, can we let him kill him?"

Tao Xuanqian felt a toothache when he heard it. Zhe Yanzhi had been in contact with the Xuanfu envoy since he was engaged in official business. Although he was a bit mediocre, he would not suppress the generals without winking. With Orihiko's experience, can you make common-sense mistakes?It must be Wang Xiu's good deed.

"Do you think the captives will cross the river?" Wang Xiu avoided Zhe Yanzhi, and turned the topic to the issue that everyone is most concerned about at the moment.

"The captives will not only cross the river, but also go straight to the capital." Tao Xuanqian replied subconsciously, he was not optimistic about this battle.

"Well, the captives have already arrived in the north of Heyang. If our army keeps avoiding the battle and defending itself, it will only increase the fear of the officers and soldiers. In the end, the captives will have an opportunity to take advantage of it." Wang Xiu guided Tao Xuanqian's thinking step by step, and said in a deep voice: "You Have you ever thought about whether the sound of drums outside is a trick for the captives to suspect soldiers? They are constantly exhausting our army and taking the opportunity to forcefully cross the river?"

It's a pity that Tao Xuanqian is not a fool, he didn't follow Wang Xiu's train of thought. He stared at Wang Xiu, sneered and said, "Xuan Fu just took a fancy to this point, so he gathered troops to protect himself, and let them torment me. Listen. It is said that adults are also battle-tested, so how can you not know the art of war?"

Well, it was a bit too much. Wang Xiu admired Tao Xuanqian's wisdom. This person who passed by in history seems to be not simple. Building a stronghold to protect ourselves can only make the officials panic. I have ordered each stronghold to take turns to rest, and sent troops to form formations outside to prepare for battle.

"My lord's words are too full. I have contacted the captives several times, and they are not easy to fight! Xuanfu is looking at this point, so he waits for work with ease."

Wang Xiu smiled unremittingly, and said: "It's appropriate to wait for work with ease, I think it's appropriate to lose thousands of miles, you are as good at war as you are!"

"Since your lord has the guts to kill someone, why don't you have the guts to admit it?" Tao Xuanqian said in a stiff tone.

"I killed someone. I killed an Orihiko who was avoiding the battle." Wang Xiu frowned, as if you were going to bite me for disobedience.

"Could it be that my lord is not afraid of the imperial court's axe?" Tao Xuanqian is not stupid. He has heard of Wang Xiu's decisive killing. The whole is a butcher on the battlefield, a devil who kills without batting an eye, and can only use the imperial court to exert pressure.

It's a pity that Tao Xuanqian made a wrong calculation. Killing Zheyanzhi was a part of Wang Xiu's plan. Zhao Huan's court has long been unable to take care of itself, afraid of a bird!He put on a disdainful smile again, and said relaxedly: "Zhe Yanzhi retreated again and again, panicking like a bereaved dog, and almost the whole of Hebei and Dongdong fell. His Xuanfu is worthy of the name. Heyang is the last barrier of Kaifeng. The incompetent will not only kill more than [-] troops, but will also implicate millions of people in Shenjing, and if they are killed, they will be killed."

"You, you are so bold." Seeing Wang Xiu's frankness and purity, Tao Xuanqian's expression changed drastically. It seemed that the imperial court couldn't suppress Wang Xiu anymore. What does this guy want to do?
"You'd better go back and tidy up, and do what you need to do. I have to raise troops to prepare for battle. The captives will probably have to cross the river at night." Wang Xiu didn't want to argue with Tao Xuan, it didn't make much sense. About to attack.
