Chapter 794: War is like a game, no regrets after placing the pieces!

~8 min read 1,598 words

Not long after the war on the northern grassland ended, Sima Dan of Eastern Jin issued a roar as a "puppet emperor."

That was that the one hundred thousand great army led by Huan Wen had marched north, and the primary target was Great Ming.

Facing the aggressive Eastern Jin, Zhang Cheng didn't worry, but sent Zhang Hao to lead twenty thousand great army to attack Duan Qi in Jiaodong, while he himself led fifty thousand troops to resist Eastern Jin.

The two sides held a formal meeting in Yingzhou.

However, compared to the military appearance and momentum, although Great Ming was newly established, in terms of spirit, it was not weaker than Huan Wen's one hundred thousand great army.

Entering Yingzhou, today's Fuyang.

Huan Wen could not help but frown tightly, because he saw that Great Ming was by no means comparable to Cheng Han.

And the person leading the army, Zhang Cheng, was even more brave and extraordinary; to deal with such a person, Huan Wen needed to be very careful.

In the evening, inside the mansion, Huan Wen summoned Zhonglang General Xie Wan and Chi Tan.

Who Xie Wan was, everyone might not know much, but his relatives were quite powerful.

His big brother was named Xie An, and he had a nephew named Xie Xuan.

And this Xie Xuan was the one who created the Beifu Army.

What was his most famous battle record? In the Battle of Feishui, he punched Fu Jian's hegemony into ashes.

History calls it eighty-seven thousand, but in reality, those who participated in the battle were only twenty-odd thousand!

And many years later, the Beifu Army would emerge with a fierce man, that is, the peerless fierce man known as "the one who finished six emperors," Liu Yu!

As for why Liu Yu is called a fierce man, it is because he is the most capable of fighting among emperors.

If you put him, Li Shimin, and Zhao Kuangyin in a cage, Liu Yu would have light injuries, Zhao Kuangyin would have heavy injuries, and Li Shimin would have a bump on his head!

In a desperate situation, when his teammates couldn't fight anymore, Liu Yu could still carry a knife and chase and slash thousands of the opponent's great army. You tell me, is this person fierce enough!

But it's a pity that Liu Yu couldn't meet Zhang Cheng, otherwise the two would have to have a match, the Far East Emperor match of the third century!

Liu Yu: Those who could fight better than me have all been finished off by me, so I am the Emperor!

Lu Yan:.

Zhang Cheng: You wait!

"What orders does the General have?"

Looking at Huan Wen before him, Xie Wan and Chi Tan both appeared very respectful.

After all, the two could have their current status entirely by relying on family relationships; after all, in terms of ability, Xie Wan and Chi Tan were truly enough to make Zhang Hao cry!

Fight, the two couldn't fight; talk, Zhang Hao wouldn't listen!

As for how Xie Wan was appreciated by Huan Wen, it was entirely because his family background was good, he could talk, and he had a bit of paper-talk-on-soldiers technology!

However, compared to Zhao Kuo, Xie Wan's ability was still slightly worse.

After all, Zhao Kuo met the Warring States demon king, the one known as not taking orders under one hundred thousand, Bai Qi.

And Xie Wan's luck couldn't be considered too good either; after all, he met Zhang Cheng, the number one person to flatten cart wheels, the ruthless person with wild history all over the sky!

"I have summoned you here today to ask, what are your views on this battle?"

Watching Xie Wan and Chi Tan before him, Huan Wen still liked to promote the younger generation.

After all, Wang Xizhi once wrote a letter telling him that Xie Wan's ability was insufficient, but Huan Wen didn't believe it!

Zhang Cheng: Don't believe, not believing is good, if you don't believe, you will suffer!

Wang Xizhi:

"General, I think we can send two great generals to Taihe and Lixin, supporting each other, and then sit and wait for Northern Ming to divide its troops. With their number of fifty thousand, once there are few people, we can swallow them!"

Speaking seriously, the suggestion Xie Wan put forward immediately made Huan Wen contemplate.

After all, this idea was not bad, but how to implement it specifically was still a trouble.

"If the General doesn't abandon us, we are willing to execute the military order!"

Watching Xie Wan put forward the idea, Chi Tan immediately stepped forward.

Thinking for a moment, Huan Wen immediately said: "Since you are willing, then let it be so. I will give you two, ten thousand troops each, to hold the two places firmly. Once you encounter a situation, immediately fly a horse to report!"

Speaking to the two before him, Huan Wen became serious.

"Yes, General!"

Bowing and saluting, Xie Wan and Chi Tan immediately agreed.

However, just when Eastern Jin began to divide its troops, Zhang Cheng was dumbfounded looking at the map.

Because he hadn't figured out at all what Huan Wen was trying to do?

"General, what are you thinking about?"

Watching Zhang Cheng in a daze, Deng Qiang could not help but inquire.

"Deng Qiang, you say Huan Wen dividing troops into these two places, what is he trying to do?" Speaking to Deng Qiang, Zhang Cheng inserted the chess piece onto the map.

And looking at the positions of Taihe and Lixin, Deng Qiang could not help but say: "Divide troops into two places, supporting each other? Sit and wait for us to divide troops?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in doubt, Deng Qiang hesitated for a moment, then smacked his lips and said: "This is impossible, right? Why would we divide troops? The two places are close, but as long as..."

"Besiege Wei to save Zhao, then they will bind their own hands!"

Slowly saying these words, Zhang Cheng inserted the flag symbolizing Great Ming in the middle.

"That's right, Emperor, we just need to use speed to beat slowness, maybe we can even give Eastern Jin a big gift!"

Looking at the map playfully, Deng Qiang also laughed.

Because although their Great Ming liked to speak the truth and only brought fifty thousand troops, don't forget, these fifty thousand people were all veterans who had gone through blood and fire.

"Is Huan Wen drunk? Otherwise how could he make this move!"

Looking at the map, Zhang Cheng could not help but rub his head.

Because he still hadn't figured out what Huan Wen was doing?

"Emperor, is it possible that Huan Wen didn't take us seriously!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng awkwardly, Deng Qiang explained.

And hearing Deng Qiang say this, Zhang Cheng was stunned: "Huan Wen, I'm going to start early!"

"Emperor, calm down, Huan Wen might not be able to hear you scolding him, but the historian is right outside the door!"

!

Pulling Zhang Cheng's sleeve, Deng Qiang became serious.

Thinking of his future image, Zhang Cheng immediately smiled and said: "Huan Wen, this little cutie, I really, can't stand it, he actually dares to despise me like this, is he not taking my Great Ming seriously?"

Patting the table with anger and laughter, even though Zhang Cheng's face was very ferocious, he still maintained a smile.

But looking at Zhang Cheng's appearance, Deng Qiang opened his mouth: "Which one should we besiege first?"

"Just here, Taihe, the fastest line between two points is a straight line, I want Huan Wen to watch with his own eyes how these ten thousand Eastern Jin soldiers are sent to their deaths..."

Revealing a cold smile, Zhang Cheng could not help but walk toward outside the tent.

And watching Zhang Cheng come out, the historian hurriedly closed his Diary of Activities and Repose.

Ignoring the historian, Zhang Cheng had no mood to care whether he wrote about his faults or not, after all, this was a small hater.

Two days later, when Xie Wan arrived at Taihe, he immediately remembered the instructions of his elder brother and others, and found the generals in the camp, intending to build a good relationship.

However, Xie Wan's stammering appearance instead made the atmosphere even more awkward.

But just at this moment, a messenger rushed in and said: "Xie Zhonglang, something terrible has happened, Northern Ming, Northern Ming has come!"

"What?"

Suddenly hearing these words, Xie Wan immediately led the generals to the city gate.

But when he saw the lineup of Northern Ming before him, he was stunned, because the person who came was actually the Northern Ming Emperor Zhang Cheng.

The golden great banner danced in the air, and under the stern atmosphere, the Chiliang Army was coldly eyeing the front.

And just at this moment, Zhang Cheng could not help but look into the distance and say: "Who is leading the troops on the city wall?"

"Reporting to the Emperor, the person leading the troops is Xie Wan!"

Speaking to Zhang Cheng, Deng Qiang answered.

"Never heard of him, after the city is broken, behead him. What kind of status is this, he also deserves the surname Xie!"

Thinking that this might be a Xie family member relying on family power to gild himself, Zhang Cheng immediately didn't have a good face.

Because the battlefield is a place for men to fight, not a trading ground for aristocratic families.
