Chapter 366 Before the start

Before seeing Li Ang, Dai Hao was uneasy. He knew that there would be no good things to be summoned by this god of killing. But the facts proved that he guessed it right. Li Ang asked him, a local snake familiar with the mountains and rivers in the river, to lead the Qin army to encircle and suppress all the nearby horse thieves. Dai Hao once tried to resist such a request, but Li Ang said, "If you want to die, you can ignore it!" and he completely lost his mind. He felt that the cold marshal in front of him was more like a robber than him, and in the end he had to take on the job.

When the Qin army began to operate, the Persian scouts who had been closely monitoring immediately sent the news they found back to the main general. So the Persian camp stationed on the border of the river began to be fully alert. After they figured out that the Qin army was mobilized to wipe out the horse thieves, it was already five days later. So the head general Palgodes of the Upper Persia and the head general Gambiss of the Lower Persia couldn't help but think of the secret troops they sent to the river in the past few years. Most of them pretended to be horse thieves and were always providing information for them. The encirclement of the Qin army naturally made them feel that these people had been seen through. So the two main generals sent envoys to the other party at the same time, and they felt that it was time to talk to the other party.

Although they were both Persians, Palgodes and Gambis belonged to the two countries. If it weren't for the powerful threat of the Qin Dynasty, they might have already started fighting. So when they met, they both seemed quite cold, but under the common goal, the two reached a temporary alliance. They felt that at least they should launch a tentative attack, and they both regretted the previous hesitation.

The place chosen by the two main generals of the Persian army was a valley. The cliffs on both sides were steep and bare, making it difficult to hide a large group of people and were extremely difficult to climb. However, for Li Yanzong and the black hand troops he personally trained, this would not hurt them. On a protruding rock, Li Yanzong looked at a "black hand" with Persian descent beside him and said, "What are they talking about?"

"They said something different from the standard tone of Persian." The black hand replied with a frown, and he could only roughly judge the meaning from the plausible lips, which was inaccurate.

"Retreat!" Seeing that the Persians in the valley were almost talking, Li Yanzong ordered the retreat. He looked at the rocks he left with a pity. He thought that if Huang Yuan was there, the two Persian generals in the valley would have died no matter how much he said.

At night, the people sent by Li Yanzong arrived at the tent of the generals of the headquarters where Li Ang was located and sent back the information they obtained through the lip reading technique during the day. "I knew that they could not help it." Li Ang handed the information in his hand to the generals in the tent. The Persians planned to launch a night attack in three days. The target was the two closest places to them for the storage of Qin weapons.

"They are hooked." After reading the information, Murong Ke said in a deep voice, but the corners of his mouth bent, which made people who know him feel cold. Usually, every time Murong Ke has such a strange sneer on his face, it is definitely the beginning of blood.

"Our bait is big enough, so you don't want to come." Li Ang smiled. The Persians chose the two largest hoarding points, but he thought that the Persians would be very disappointed and heartbroken at that time.

"The next three days will still be as usual, don't do anything extra. In addition, the matter of suppressing bandits should be accelerated." Looking at the officers in the tent, Li Ang glanced at them and immediately calmed them down. In this military camp, Li Ang's majesty and will were unquestionable.

After watching the departing officers walk out of the tent, Lin Fengshuang walked to her husband, "Are you still worried about the secret troops of the Persians?" The reason why Li Ang cleared all the horse thieves on the Western Front was because of the information Cui Hao brought to him. Cui Hao and Li Yanzong, who had arrived in the river one and a half months earlier than him, sneaked into Persia with Miss Zhuge, contacted the secret spies who had been stationed in Anxi Protectorate for many years, and spied on a lot of useful information. The secret troops of the Persians entering the river were one of them, but Cui Hao did not get the list, but even this was enough for Li Ang to pay attention to it.

"I can't sleep or eat without getting rid of these people." Li Ang looked at Lin Fengshuang and nodded. Unlike any general in this era, Li Ang attaches great importance to intelligence and counterintelligence. He likes to control his opponents and make his opponents know nothing about him.

"By the way, how about Si Niang?" Li Ang looked at Lin Fengshuang. Unlike Lin Fengshuang, who can be an excellent commander and staff officer, Feng Si Niang's ability is not outstanding on the battlefield. Since he arrived in Hezhong, Li Ang fulfilled his promise to her in Chang'an, treating her only as an ordinary subordinate without any special care, but despite this, he still cannot ignore her.

"Shi Duwei Feng is exterminating those horse thieves, and she is doing very well!" Lin Fengshuang was stunned for a moment, and then replied loudly. She did not say good things for Feng Si Niang. In fact, Feng Si Niang did better than anyone else in suppressing bandits and surrendering bandits, which is suitable for her.

Listening to Lin Fengshuang's answer, thinking of Feng Siniang's old career and his bold and generous temperament, Li Ang felt much more relieved, "It seems that I have to have an extra team of horse thieves under my command!" Li Ang smiled.

"Don't you kill them all?" Seeing Li Ang say this, Lin Fengshuang was stunned for a moment, and then asked. After entering the army, she learned about her husband's military style from Murong Ke and Li Cunzhi. Basically, as long as her husband thinks it is threatening and uncontrollable, her husband will never be ruthless. Completely eliminating the threat is his most common method. As of now, although Feng Si Niang subdued those horse thieves at an astonishing speed, there are inevitably people with ulterior motives who will take the opportunity to surrender, but in fact they are waiting for a good opportunity to do something wrong. According to Lin Fengshuang's intention, horse thieves are cunning by nature, so they are still relatively clean to kill.

"If you kill all of them, you won't catch fish?" Looking at his wife who was worried about him, Li Ang smiled. Cui Hao gave him the information. He only mentioned that the Persians had sent secret troops to the river in the past few years, but did not explain it in more detail. This made him very concerned about the war. It is a trick. Li Ang knew the role of those secret troops too well. Although they may not necessarily affect the entire situation of the battle, it is real to cause trouble for the enemy. If the commander is not careful, it may not be impossible to turn the situation around by them, so he must take a risk and catch a few live-action people to pull them out.

"The Marshal wants to use his own body as bait." Looking at her husband, Lin Fengshuang frowned. She knew her husband too much. He always liked to take risks and exchanged for the greatest benefit at the smallest price. He never knew how to cherish himself.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine!" Looking at Lin Fengshuang who was frowning, Li Ang smiled. Then he said, "Who do you think can do this in this world?

If you succeed, don't forget that there are many masters in the army. If Zoroastrianism and people come in person, it is still possible. If they are replaced by their disciples, they are just preys that come to their door."

"How do you know that there are Zoroastrians and Manichaeisms in the secret troops of the Persians?" Lin Fengshuang looked at her husband, and from his words, she could hear the implicit sound.

"Whether it is to go to Persia or to Persia, they are all countries that combine politics and religion. Zoroastrianism and Manichaeism have their own people. Although it is not possible to go to the battlefield, spying on information and assassination is a good move. Do you think the Persians will let them go?" Li Ang looked at his wife and said, before coming to Hezhong, he transferred a large amount of information about Persia from the Jinyiwei. Now he has a general understanding of Persia.

"Don't underestimate those believers. They are pious and make them no worse than the dead men." Lin Fengshuang said seriously. She grew up in the desert and had dealt with all kinds of people. In her eyes, those crazy believers are the most terrible. They are like being manipulated and have no normal thinking at all. As long as they think they can please God, they will carry out their actions without hesitation, even if they die.

"I admit that religiously crazy believers are terrible, but in the face of absolute power, they are just ants, including their gods." Li Ang held his wife's shoulder and looked at her and said, "If there were gods in this world, then the Persian gods would have been killed by our gods long ago, so no matter how pious their believers are, it is useless, because their gods are dead and can no longer give them strength."

Lin Fengshuang didn't say anything. She felt that her husband had some reason. Perhaps the founding emperor of the Qin Dynasty and those unparalleled generals and advisers had already conquered all the gods of foreign countries in the kingdom of heaven after their death. Therefore, the hegemony of the Qin Dynasty continued to this day. The war on earth might just be a continuation of the heaven. Thinking of this, Lin Fengshuang suddenly looked at Li Ang and said in one sentence, "We are just fighting according to God's will!" This sentence made Li Ang stunned. It was not until Lin Fengshuang said the whole story that he laughed.

"You are right, we are just fighting according to God's will!" Li Ang looked at his wife and shouted. A problem that had troubled him for a long time was solved. Li Ang knew very well what kind of troops he would take to Europe in fifteen years. He needed to give the non-Han faiths who followed him, so that they would know that their war on Europe was the will of God, and that they would be glorious when they lived and died. Under God's will, there was no meaning in blood and skin color. As long as they fought according to God's will, they were brothers and robes. Li Ang sneered. In his original world, those white people did not mean that they would let the light of their Lord shine on every part of the world. He was not so greedy. He just needed God's will to come to the whole of Europe.



Although Contriano, who lived in the military camp and had the title of deputy commander, wanted to fight with the Persians, it was a pity that he could not command anyone except his own Greek guards. However, he still insisted on going to the commander's office to advise Li Ang how to teach the Persians a lesson. Due to the Hippolar War in the classical era, the Greeks had always hated the Persians. In Greece, the Persians were enemies behind the Romans.

"Mr. Chen can kill you tonight!" Looking at Contriano, who was once again speaking in the tent, Li Ang smiled. The Greek was really impatient to make achievements. Since he made him the nominal deputy commander, how could he let him return empty-handed?

"Marcedes is saying, "Tonight, war?" Contriano was surprised and happy as he suddenly jumped out. In the agreement between Leon and him, in this war, Leon would give him the opportunity to make contributions so that his reputation would be at its peak in Greece and to create momentum for him to become king in the future, so that he was so concerned.

"That's right." Looking at the Greeks, Li An nodded, "The Persians will come to attack at night. I think we should give them a head-on attack. Does Mr. Chen think it shouldn't be?" Li An smiled. He didn't know the Persians' detailed attack plan, but he had made enough detailed arrangements and believed that those Persians would have a very pleasant evening.

"Of course, of course!" Contriano also laughed, "Those hateful Persians will know how stupid it is to fight against the great Qin." He said fiercely, but he glanced at Li Ang from the corner of his eyes. After being with Li Ang for a long time, he knew that the marshal of the Qin Dynasty did not like flattery, so he usually used praise to Qin instead, and now it seems that the effect is pretty good.

"Marson, what should I do?" Knowing that he would soon have a military merit and gain it as a general of the Qin Dynasty, Contriano couldn't help but be excited. He wondered whether he would kill a few Persians tonight.

"Mr. Chen, go back and make preparations first. I will ask someone to go to your place later. He will naturally tell you what to do then?" Looking at Contriano with an excited face, Li An said this. Although Contriano is a good businessman and politician, marching and fighting is not his main character. He just needs to act like a false military merit. Of course, Li An will not say this in person. The cooperation between him and the Greeks has just begun.

Contriano returned to the camp happily, without any dissatisfaction with Leon's arrangement. He was not a Spartan with a muscle-filled mind. He treated the battlefield as his lover. He only needed military merits and fame, regardless of whether these were received by him. Knowing that his master was about to attack the Persians at night, Contriano's several Greek guards were excited. They knew that after tonight, their names would be passed back to Greece with their master's name, and then they would be heroes admired by everyone in the Greeks, and those Spartans would be so angry that their noses were crooked.

All afternoon, several Greek guards of Contriano were trying hard to wipe their weapons and armor. They thought that no matter what, they would kill several Persians by themselves at night, and at the same time they would also let their masters beat him up.

In the tent of the commander, Li Cunzhi reported to Li Ang about the deployment of the scout. "The Persians had arranged personnel on the several roads they could choose. As long as they set off, they would know within half an hour."

"How are our people being mobilized?" After hearing Li Cunzhi's reply, Li Ang looked at Murong, "Has he discovered it by Persian scouts?"

"We all dispatched troops in the middle of the night, and the amplitude was not large, so the Persian scouts would definitely not be able to detect it." Murong replied loudly. He had been waiting for this battle for a long time. Although the credit would be taken away by the Greek at that time, he didn't care. As long as there was a war, it would be fine.

"Cunxiao, let the central army be prepared to set off at any time." Li Ang finally looked at Li Cunxiao. Although it was just a small outpost battle tonight, it played a key role in the future development of the situation. When he came here, he did not fight the Persians, but let them bite them.
