Chapter 674: The Allied Forces Arrive
Dongping City.
While the Watanabe case was lobbying, the army of Nanliang and Beidi arrived in Bozhou.
After six days of trekking, the army entered Qizhou in a mighty manner.
After another three days of marching, he arrived outside the city of Lucheng and set up camp.
"Hahaha...Brother Xiao." As soon as the Nanliang army arrived, Han Zheng came out of Lucheng and patted Xiao Cheng on the shoulder.
During this period, the Xie family's 200,000 troops have arrived.
Now that the troops from Nanliang and Beidi have arrived, he finally took a reassurance.
Since he chose to give up the unimportant city, the King of Yan's troops were unstoppable, and the eight counties outside the four counties southwest of Qi State all fell into the hands of the King of Yan.
Every time he hears a city fall, he will suffer from insomnia all night and worry and fear.
In addition, what he was most worried about was that the army of Nanliang and Beidi would violate the contract.
If so, his Qi State would really die.
Therefore, Xiao Cheng's army was so excited.
Xiao Cheng recognized Han Zheng in a dragon robe at a glance.
Grasping Han Zheng's hand, he looked embarrassed, "Why should I call Brother Han or His Majesty?"
Han Zheng smiled helplessly, "You don't have to be so polite between you and me. You can call Brother Han. You can raise me up and call Your Majesty."
Xiao Cheng was just joking with Han Zheng, and in the end he still called out "Your Majesty."
After all, the French attack on Yan Alliance was facilitated by Han Zheng.
The two of them exchanged greetings for a while, Xiao Cheng pointed to the Beidi general beside him and said, "This is King Guertu."
Han Zheng looked at Guertu, and his face became even more joyful, and he hurriedly said, "It is my honor to be able to come. The banquet in the palace has been prepared, and I personally welcome you."
Gurtu laughed, "I want good meat and wine, and beautiful women must not be missing."
Han Zheng smiled and said, "This is natural. King Guertu traveled all the way to Lu City to help us attack King Yan. This small request is naturally to be met."
Guertu smiled satisfied, "This time we have gathered a million troops, and I have one hundred thousand Northern Di cavalry. The King of Yan will be doomed again this time. Then you don't want to compete with me for the King of Yan's head."
"Hahaha..." Everyone laughed loudly when they heard this.
Since the soldiers set up camp outside Lu City, the white camp tent extended from Lu City to the distance.
Seeing such a strong military force, they couldn't help but feel full of confidence.
Entering Lu City, Han Zheng led everyone to the Imperial Garden of the Palace.
At this time, Wang Zi'an and Xie Duan had been waiting for a long time. Seeing Xiao Cheng and Guertu coming, they stood up to greet each other at the same time.
After a greeting, they asked Xiao Cheng and Guertu to sit down.
Han Zheng ordered the palace maids to serve wine and food, and also asked them to play music, sing and dance.
After three rounds of wine, everyone's faces turned red due to the smell of alcohol, and the atmosphere became strong. Han Zheng raised his glass and toasted everyone, saying, "I am very happy that you can come as promised. With all your help, it will be easy to defeat the King of Yan this time."
Xie Duan was drunk and said, "Since that's the case, you might as well discuss how to eliminate the 120,000 Yan Kings army that crossed the Jin River."
Han Zheng was anxious, and he was also anxious. After all, if he could not protect Qi State, he could not protect the territory of the Xie family. This was a matter of losing his lips and cold teeth.
While drinking just now, Xiao Cheng learned about the current situation in the battlefield in Qizhou from the generals.
After pondering for a while, he said, "We come from afar and do not stand up with the King of Yan for a long time. We should fight quickly and decide quickly. I thought we should take the initiative to attack and destroy the 120,000 army of the King of Yan."
Han Zheng frowned and said, "The range of Yan's muskets and cannons is very long. If we take the initiative to attack, they will be in trouble if they seize the city."
Guertu nodded, "What Your Majesty said makes sense. Our Beidi suffered a great loss because of blindly siege the city. We cannot suffer another loss. We should find a way to lead the Yan King's army out of the city and fight with it."
After pausing, he said, "A horse in Qizhou is flat, which is suitable for our Beidi cavalry to kill the enemy."
Prince Anze said: "The generals under the command of King Yan are all as energetic as monkeys. When millions of troops arrive, they will definitely huddle in the city and it will not be possible to take the initiative to fight with us."
Xiao Cheng sneered, "Brother Wang, you have a good way to manage government affairs, but you are far from fighting. If they don't come out, we will force them out."
Wang Xie, who was beside Wang Zi'an, nodded slightly. He thought of something, but he didn't say anything, just waiting for Xiao Cheng's following.
Xiao Cheng continued, "Why did the King of Yan take the initiative to move south? First, he was arrogant and arrogant, thinking that he could defeat our coalition forces against Yan, and second, he did not want the war to take place on the land of Yanzhou, which is the weakness of Yan's king."
"So, if they hid in the city, we would build ships by the Jin River and pretend to attack Yanzhou. At that time, the King of Yan would either withdraw back to Yanzhou and confront us across the Jin River, or they would have to come out of the city and fight us in a decisive battle."
Han Zheng's eyes lit up and he patted his thighs, "That's right, Brother Xiao is right. King Yan just swallowed the eight counties of Qizhou. It is said that they are dividing land and training village soldiers. They will definitely not be willing to give up these eight counties and return to Yanzhou, so they will only have a decisive battle with us."
Wang Xie said complimentally: "Xiao Xiao is indeed a famous general of the world."
Xiao Cheng smiled proudly when he heard this.
He continued: "If the King of Yan chooses to fight us in a decisive battle, the remaining war will be simple. At that time, I just hope that you will not be stingy with the lives of the soldiers under your command, and work together to fight to the death with the King of Yan."
Han Zheng said: "It's right, this battle is related to the survival of our powerful clan. We should abandon past grudges and unite. Otherwise, once we are defeated, we will be defeated by the King of Yan one by one and will have no power to turn the world back."
Everyone agreed and nodded.
Then Han Zheng said, "The troops of Wu and the troops of Nanping will have to wait a while before they arrive. Please wait patiently for ten days and half a month, and at the same time let the generals of each family be familiar with each other so that they can cooperate tacitly in the decisive battle."
Xiao Cheng nodded gently, naturally he could not fight in the past few days.
First, a long journey requires rest, and the second is as Han Zheng said.
Although he said he wanted to make a quick decision, in his opinion, this war lasted for two or three months was probably inevitable.
Chapter completed!
