Empire

Zhang Dayuan was upset and in a bad mood when he saw everyone arguing with each other.

They had just occupied the provincial capital and hadn't enjoyed themselves for a few days when the Dynasty army came to attack. How could he be happy?

Deputy Marshal Xu Fu's voice in the Qinghe Army has been greatly reduced. He is now almost the chief military supply manager, so he just stood there and kept silent.

Chen Ru is now the second-in-command of the Qinghe Army. Seeing the Marshal's gloomy face and Xu Fu's indifference, he had to speak up to stop the argument.

""Zi'ang, you tell me first, the Dynasty army is coming aggressively, how should we deal with it?"

Chen Ru saw Chen Zi'ang and his daughter Chen Xiaoyu mumbling with their heads down, and called Chen Zi'ang's name.

Most of the generals in the military tent were brave but lacked wisdom, but Chen Zi'ang was both civil and military. Chen Ru called Chen Zi'ang's name to hear his thoughts.

Chen Zi'ang didn't expect his name to be called, and after a little surprise, he stood out from the crowd.

""General, deputy general, I think that 10,000 Dynasty light cavalry are not scary. Our army has more than 100,000 people, and we have a strong city in our hands. We can attack or defend, and we are already invincible." Chen Ziang bowed.

After hearing Chen Ziang's words, many generals nodded and agreed with Chen Ziang's opinion.

After all, among their more than 100,000 soldiers, there are at least 70,000 or 80,000 soldiers who can fight. If they really fight to the death, 10,000 Dynasty light cavalry are not enough for them to kill.

"However, I am worried that these 10,000 Dynasty Light Cavalry may only be their vanguard, and the Dynasty's main army may not be far away."Chen Ziang changed the subject and expressed his concerns.

As soon as Chen Ziang said this, there was an uproar. They were all considering whether to take the initiative to attack or passively defend, and they had never thought of this level.

If it is really as Chen Ziang said, these 10,000 light cavalry are only the vanguard of the Dynasty Army, then the number of the Dynasty's main army must be greater, then it is not a question of how to fight, but whether to fight or flee.

"Chen Ziang, don't encourage others and destroy your own prestige. You said that 10,000 light cavalry were the vanguard of the Dynasty Army. Do you have any evidence? If you can't provide evidence, then it will disturb the morale of the army and you should be executed according to the law!"

When everyone was talking about it, Lieutenant General Xu Jiang couldn't help but jump out.

Xu Jiang had been defeated by Chen Ziang several times, and now he wanted to take this opportunity to get back at him.

"I said, Commander Xu, are you deaf?" Chen Ziang sneered,"I said that the 10,000 light cavalry might be the vanguard of the Dynasty Army, but I didn't say that they were the vanguard of the Dynasty Army."

""You are just sophistry!" Xu Jiang said angrily.

Chen Ziang said:"What can you do to me?"

"That's enough!"

Marshal Zhang Dayuan knew the grudge between Chen Ziang and Xu Jiang. Now that they were facing a powerful enemy, he didn't want to worry about it. He stopped their quarrel.

"What Lieutenant General Chen said makes sense. These 10,000 light cavalry are most likely the vanguard of the Dynasty Army. Send scouts to expand the scope of investigation........"

"Urgent military information!"

Marshal Zhang Dayuan hadn't finished his words when the sound of hurried horse hooves rang out outside. Soon, a dusty scout was put into the military tent by the guards.

"Report to the commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief, a large army of the dynasty has been spotted north of the Qingshui River!" The scout spoke hastily.

Zhang Dayuan and deputy commander Chen Ru looked at each other and saw a solemn look in each other's eyes. Unexpectedly, Chen Ziang had guessed it right.

"How many people are there?" Zhang Dayuan asked.

The scout replied:"Judging from the flags, there are about 100,000 soldiers and horses."

After hearing this, the generals took a deep breath. They did not expect that the number of the Dynasty army was so large.

"What about the 10,000 light cavalry? Where are they now?"

"They also burned, killed and looted in Qingyang Prefecture."

After Zhang Dayuan inquired about the situation, he ordered the scouts to withdraw.

"Explore again!"

""Yes!"

As the scouts retreated, the atmosphere in the military tent became particularly depressing, and everyone was trying hard to digest this shocking news.

If they didn't take the dynasty army's 10,000 light cavalry seriously, then now the opponent has a 100,000-strong army, and they have to pay attention.

Their Qinghe Army now has only more than 100,000 people, and among them are some old, weak, women and children who cannot go to the battlefield to kill the enemy.

If they really fight against the dynasty army, with their current strength, I'm afraid they are really not the opponent. Many generals are a little intimidated.

""General, the Dynasty army is coming fiercely, I think we should avoid it."

One general couldn't help but speak, causing a large number of echoes.

They had captured a lot of spoils from their continuous sieges and captures, and they had no reason to fight the Dynasty army now, they hadn't enjoyed enough.

"Marshal, why don't we retreat to the mountains? As long as we hide for a few months, the Dynasty Army will be unable to do anything to us."

"More than 100,000 people retreated into the mountains. What should they eat?"

"I think we should go to Jiangbei Province."

"We are unfamiliar with Jiangbei Province, and the provincial security forces there are also strong. Once we are attacked from both sides, it will be dangerous."

Just now, the generals were still clamoring to teach the 10,000 Dynasty Light Cavalry a lesson, saying that they could be destroyed with a wave of their hands.

Now that they heard that there was a large army behind the 10,000 Light Cavalry, they immediately became timid, and each of them was thinking about how to avoid the battle.

Now these generals are no longer like when they started the rebellion, when there was no way to survive and the only way was to fight their way out, so they dared to fight.

But now they are all in high positions, and have robbed a lot of money and women. It is not so easy to let them fight desperately.

In a short period of time, seeing these generals become like this, Chen Ziang couldn't help shaking his head. The Land of Gentlemen is really a hero's tomb.

"Being a coward is not the style of our Qinghe Army. In my opinion, we must not retreat, but must fight and destroy the Dynasty army! To enhance the prestige of our Qinghe Army!"Chen Ziang stood up and said loudly

"You make it sound easy, but those are 100,000 elite soldiers of the dynasty, not 100,000 pigs."

"If you want to go, go ahead. We won't accompany you."

""Silence, wait for Lieutenant General Chen to finish his words!" said the upset Marshal Zhang Dayuan.

"Marshal, the Dynasty's 10,000 light cavalry have penetrated deep into Qingyang Prefecture and are burning, killing and looting, while their main force is still north of Qingshui River. We can concentrate our forces to destroy their light cavalry first and put an end to their arrogance!"

"As long as we destroy their light cavalry, if their main force rushes forward to retaliate, we will fortify our walls and clear the fields, defend the city, and then send people to cut off their food supply. They will retreat without food."

"If they advance steadily, we will use the vast territory of Qinghe Province to deal with them, slowly wear them down, and wear them down!"

Zhang Dayuan didn't want to just leave like that. After all, they had worked so hard to conquer Qinghe Province. If they gave up like this, they would be unwilling.

Now when he heard what Chen Ziang said, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if a drowning man had grabbed a life-saving straw.

"But their light cavalry come and go like the wind, it is not easy to destroy them."Deputy commander Xu Fu couldn't help but speak

"We can lure the enemy deep into our territory, send out a troop to actively seek battle, and then pretend to retreat and lure them into our army's ambush." Chen Ziang said.

After hearing Chen Ziang's words, Deputy Commander Xu Fu showed a meaningful smile.

""General, I think this is a good plan." Xu Fu said to Zhang Dayuan with a smile.

Zhang Dayuan nodded and looked at Chen Ziang with a different look. After all, there are not many generals who are both civil and military.

"Marshal, Lieutenant General Chen is a rare talent in our army, and his troops are brave and good at fighting. Why don't we give them the task of luring the enemy this time? I believe Lieutenant General Chen and his troops will not let us down."

Xu Fu saw Chen Ziang and showed a meaningful smile.

After hearing Xu Fu's words, Chen Ziang was also stunned, and immediately cursed in his heart.

"That's great, Lieutenant General Chen, you will lead the army to carry out the task of luring the enemy this time." Zhang Dayuan said with a smile. Chen Ziang was so angry when he saw Xu Fu's smug look on his face. He was really hunting eagles all day, but in the end, the eagle pecked his eyes blind.

"Yes!"

Although Chen Ziang was extremely reluctant, he had to bite the bullet and accept the military order.
