Chapter 849 The final battle is coming
Seeing the insincere praise from those people opposite, Zhao Biao blushed and said,
"They are all so hypocritical, not a single word of truth is told."
Yu Huatian laughed awkwardly and said,
"The main thing is that we only saw the White Horse Army in action. The other three legions didn't even take to the field, so we couldn't tell how strong they were."
"Um... so, how did our White Horse Army fight?"
"awesome."
"Good good."
……
Everyone gave another round of half-hearted compliments.
Guan Shouchang coughed dryly, glared at Zhao Biao fiercely, and said,
"Okay, stop talking. Aren't you embarrassed enough? The other side is completely defeated, and they're still being taken advantage of by that coach. It's shameful."
Zhao Biao muttered softly,
"Well...our horses have been fighting for many days, so they're tired and can't run fast. That's normal."
Shen Changgong said,
"Okay, enough talking. Regardless, this time, the Western Army won a perfect victory. Their tactics were well-planned, and they completely wiped out the enemy with minimal casualties. Their own losses were almost negligible.
This was achieved thanks to the brothers of the White Horse Army who endured torture and Guan Shouchang's reasonable tactical arrangements.
More than 200,000 enemies were annihilated with very little loss of their own; every step was taken with absolute accuracy.
Especially Zhao Biao, the location of his camp and the tactical arrangements in those days successfully avoided being completely annihilated by the enemy and prevented him from breaking through.
In this battle, Zhao Biao was the first to be meritorious, Guan Shouchang and Zhang Yide were second. Does anyone have any objections?"
"No objection, no objection."
Everyone shook their heads.
Southern King Ma Ling also said,
"This Old Zhao is indeed quite good. Today, I have also analyzed the course of battle over the past few days. It is really not easy for the White Horse Army.
If Zhao Biao had made a wrong move or Kou Jin had made a right move, this battle would not have been easy to win.
Zhao Biao deserves a reward, so don't laugh at him, especially you, Zhang Han. If you had brought 50,000 Zhennan troops to this battle, you would have been surrounded by them in the middle of the night."
Zhang Han was stunned.
"I...I didn't say a word. I'm being wronged..."
"It's just right, let's have a drink and celebrate!"
Hearing this, Zhang Yide jumped up with joy and laughed loudly.
"Drinking is good, drinking is good. That damn Zhao Biao didn't let me drink. He promised me that I could drink as much as I wanted after the main force arrived, but it has been delayed for two more days.
I'm going to get drunk tonight and have a good sleep with him!"
"Who are you going to sleep with?"
Zhao Biao was shocked.
"I want to sleep alone, who wants to sleep with you?!"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
That night, the generals held a celebration banquet.
After this battle, there is only one battle left to unify the world.
As long as we can conquer Yugui and destroy the Qian Kingdom, the world will be unified.
Everyone can have a good rest and then be rewarded according to their merits.
Guan Shouchang was the first to be conferred the title of Duke. The other generals all had their eyes on this position and wanted to be conferred the title of Duke.
That night, many people got drunk, even Yu Ziling, who indulged herself and drank heartily with everyone, and finally fell drunk in Shen Changgong's arms.
After all, it has been a year since she became pregnant and she hasn't had a chance to relax.
At night, Shen Changgong held Yu Ziling in his arms and took care of her until she slept.
……
Two days later, the main force of the Eastern Army also arrived and set up camp between Guilin and the Yan Army camp. Shen Changgong led the generals to Guilin City to welcome Yan Fuyao.
After a brief meeting and rest, the army continued to move south, heading directly for Yugui.
Yugui is also a place with many mountains and rivers. It is located in the Yugui Basin and is surrounded by mountains on all sides. There is only a canyon in the northeast that can be used for entry and exit. The Yongjiang River runs through the south.
This terrain is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
And that canyon has a very famous pass——
Kunlun Pass!
The State of Qian had been established for more than two hundred years and had encountered several crises, with enemies even reaching the gates of its capital, but no enemy army had been able to break through Kunlun Pass.
Kunlun Pass is the gateway to Qian State Yugui and also the last barrier.
Qian State was the largest and richest country in the south, so it naturally spared no expense in building the gateway to its capital. Kunlun Pass was located in this canyon. It had a huge area, high walls, and was practically a city inside.
At this time, almost all of the combat-capable troops of the Qian Kingdom were gathered inside Kunlun Pass.
Prepare to fight the battle to defend Yugui and fight a decisive battle with the Yan army.
The news that the two armies in the north were completely annihilated has reached Yugui.
The two armies were unable to withdraw, causing panic among the people. With only 300,000 people left, could they stop the more than one million strong army of Yan State?
no one knows.
Emperor Qian could only order Yuan Song, the commander of Kunlun Pass, to strengthen the city's defenses and fight a decisive battle with the Yan army.
……
late at night.
Yugui, Prime Minister's Mansion.
When it was time to go to bed, the lights in the Prime Minister's Mansion were brightly lit.
In a spacious secret room, sat a group of important figures whose clothes were embroidered with animals.
Looking around, all of them are officials of the first and second ranks, and the lowest are of the third rank. It can be said that this is a small court that can decide the fate of the Qian Kingdom.
They were either sitting or standing. Those sitting in the front row were Prime Minister Gongyang Chun, Minister of Grain Gongyang Zhan, and Minister of Guests Wenbo.
In addition, there is a new Taiwei, the old one has been imprisoned, and the current Taiwei is from the Gongyang family.
All three dukes, except the Grand Censor, were present.
Five of the Nine Ministers have also arrived.
The remaining officials also hold high positions and great power.
"Lord Wen."
Gong Yangchun picked up the teacup and said slowly,
"Your son, as I recall, is a captain of the City Defense Department, right?"
"Yes, Prime Minister, my second son, Wenqiong, does work in the City Defense Department."
"Then do you think he is still of any use in the City Defense Department now? Now the main force has all fallen into Kunlun Pass, and the life and death of the Qian Kingdom is also determined at Kunlun Pass.
How about this, transfer him to the main army and make him a captain in the central army."
Hearing this, Wenbo asked curiously,
"Oh? The Prime Minister wants him to achieve merit in the army?"
Gong Yangzhan took over and said,
"According to our intelligence, the Ninth Legion is currently under Yuan Song's command and is in charge of the front battlefield on the northeastern wall of Kunlun Pass.
The Ninth Army consists of ten corps, each of which takes turns taking over the defense.
Yuan Song was a cunning man. He drew lots every day to decide the defense and never arranged them in order. Even if he drew the same corps twice in a row, he had to accept it.
Therefore, we must place our people in every corps.
Today, the generals of the 1,253 Corps are all ours.
Three, four, six, seven, eighty, six corps, each with our centurion commander.
The only exception is that there are no one from our group in the Ninth Corps.
If we place our people there again, His Majesty will become suspicious.
So, why don't we recommend your son to be a captain there?"
