Chapter 100: The Great Army Sets Out

Seeing that the atmosphere above the main hall had reached its peak, Deng Sheng ordered: "Order chariot and cavalry general Yue Fei to be the marshal of Han Dynasty, General Yang Wu Li Xiu to be the deputy commander, Yue Yun, Qin Lie, Guan Sheng, Li Dingguo, Luo Cheng, Zhang Fei, Pang De, Li Cunxiao, Deng Qiang, Zhang Hao, Ma Chao, Gao Shun, Huang Deng, Huang Mu, and Hu Yanzhuo were the generals, Su Hong, the Minister of the Ministry of War, and Cheng Yu, the servant of the Military Aircraft Department, were the army divisions and dispatched 15 troops. , Conquer the Han Kingdom."

After finishing speaking, Deng Sheng stepped down from the throne, came up to Yue Fei with his sword in his hand, and said, "Yue Qing, this is the widow's sword, and I give it to you today. Hold this sword, and you will decide all matters in the army. report."

Seeing that Deng Sheng trusted him so much, Yue Fei quickly took the sword, knelt down on one knee, raised the sword with both hands, and said with tears in his eyes: "Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty, don't worry, if you don't beat the Han Kingdom, you will bow your head and become a vassal, and you will never return the court. "

Deng Sheng helped Yue Fei up, turned around and looked at the ministers in the hall, and said calmly: "Zhu Qing, now a hundred thousand elites of my Great Deng have gathered outside the city, now, Zhu Qing will go out of the city with the widow, and send my warriors of Great Deng to go out to fight. .”

Deng Sheng and others came to the top of the city, looked at the [-] troops below the city, Deng Sheng took a step forward, and said loudly: "Soldiers, I am here to thank you, thank you for going to the battlefield without hesitation for the honor of my great Deng. , Today, you are about to go to battle, I have nothing to say, I can only send you off with a glass of sake, in the future, when you return to the court after victory, I will definitely reward you generously, soldiers, drink this cup to the full." After saying that, he drank the cup in one gulp Medium wine.

"Thank you, the king, for giving me the wine!"

"The army goes out!" Deng Sheng gave an order, and the [-] army, led by Yue Fei and others, slowly left Wancheng and headed towards Wuguan.

At Xixian Daying Camp, Li Xiucheng led the generals of Xixian Daying Camp to welcome Yue Fei's army at the gate of the camp.

After five days of marching, Yue Fei's army finally arrived at Xixian County. Li Xiucheng saw Yue Fei's army arriving, and rushed to meet him, cupping his hands and saying, "Li Xiucheng, the last general, has seen Marshal Yue."

Yue Fei got off his horse, came to Li Xiucheng, helped him up and said, "General Li, don't be too polite, please get up quickly!"

After Li Xiucheng thanked him, he got up and said: "Marshal, the last general has already prepared a banquet in the tent to cleanse the marshal and the generals, please, general!"

Yue Fei nodded and followed him in. When he arrived at the tent of the Chinese army, Yue Fei, as the Generalissimo of the Han Dynasty, sat in the seats as expected, and the generals sat separately.

After drinking for three rounds, Yue Fei asked Li Xiucheng: "General Li, this time the king appointed you as the deputy commander of the army, and all the generals in Xixian's camp will accompany the army, but one person has to stay in Xixian County. Things can’t happen in our army.”

Li Xiucheng cupped his hands and replied: "Back to the Marshal, the general has arranged for General Huang Mu to stay in Xixian County. At the same time, he is afraid that the troops in Xixian County will not be enough. The general has also written to the king, hoping that the king can send a troop to assist Huang Mu in the garrison." Analyze the county."

After hearing this, Huang Mu on the side showed resentful eyes, and looked at Li Xiucheng firmly. Just yesterday, when Li Xiucheng announced in public that he would stay in Xixian County, he refused in his heart. As a general, he also refused. He wanted to fight the enemy instead of staying behind, so he asked Li Xiucheng more than once to change people and stay behind, but Li Xiucheng refused.

Now that Li Xiucheng proposed to Yue Fei that he should stay behind, it was basically a certainty.

Sure enough, Yue Fei nodded with a smile and said: "Okay, I have heard that General Huang Mu is calm and steady. With him guarding Xi County, I will have no worries in the rear."

Seeing this, Huang Mu snorted and thought, "How can you tell that I am calm and steady?"

In fact, in Yue Fei's mind, he chose one of the two brothers Huang Deng and Huang Mu to station in Xi County. There was no one else, because they were Huang Biao's sons. A son, if something bad happens on the battlefield, Yue Fei doesn't know how to face Huang Biao, so keep one, and if something happens in the future, he can easily explain it.

Of course, Huang Mu didn't know what Yue Fei was thinking, he just thought he was unlucky.

Now that the people who stayed in Xixian County were arranged, Yue Fei ordered the army to rest for three days, and after three days, the troops sent to Wuguan.

Wuguan, the general's mansion, and the guard of Wuguan is a member of Zhou Shen's tribe, named Zhou Chong. After arriving at Wuguan, he followed Zhou Shen's instructions and sent a large number of scouts into Nanyang to investigate Deng Jun's every move. No, when Yue Fei's army had just arrived in Xi County, Zhou Chong got the news.

After getting the news, Zhou Chong knew that the situation was serious. Xi County originally had 1 Deng troops, but it was reported that the number of this Deng army was not less than 1, and the leading general was the No. [-] general of Deng Guo. The big name will be the fourth-ranked Yue Fei, and the No.[-] general of the Han Dynasty will be Zhou Shen's old opponent.

Zhou Chong knew his strength, and if he really played against Yue Fei, he might be turned into a scumbag by Yue Fei. Fortunately, he got the news in advance, and after Wuguan was breached by Deng Guo ten years ago, it began to strengthen continuously The city wall, the [-] elite Han troops stationed in the city all the year round, as long as he guards it strictly, no matter how powerful Yue Fei is, he will not be able to break through the city easily.

Zhou Chong quickly sent his cronies to report to Chang'an, and then began to order all the ministries to strictly defend, and at the same time, the scouts reported every day without interruption.

Yue Fei and others rested in Xi County for three days, and then led an army of 15 to continue westward. Two days later, the army arrived at the city of Wuguan. It was already the middle of March in the 11th year of Qianyuan.

Looking at the posture of the city waiting in full force, Yue Fei knew that he would not be able to win Wuguan today, so he shook his head helplessly and ordered to set up camp.

At night, Yue Fei summoned all the generals and said: "It seems that the Han army in Wuguan has already made preparations, and I believe that the guards of Wuguan have already reported to Chang'an. It takes ten days, and it takes seven days at the fastest to reach Wuguan from Chang'an, so we have half a month, if we can't take Wuguan in half a month, then we can only fight fiercely with the Han army in Wuguan."

All the generals looked at each other and remained silent for a while. Taking Wuguan in half a month was too difficult. If the general guarding Wuguan was an incompetent person, it might still be possible. The gatekeeper still has some skills, and it is really unlikely that he wants to break through Wuguan in half a month.

Seeing that all the generals were silent, Yue Fei couldn't help but shook his head with a wry smile. He also knew that taking Wuguan in half a month would really be difficult for a strong man, but he couldn't stop doing it just because of the difficulty. If Wuguan had broken through the city before, what would greet them would be a fierce battle between the two armies.

Yue Fei said to Li Xiucheng: "General Li, do you know who is the guard of Wuguan? How many Han troops are there in the city?"

Li Xiucheng cupped his hands and replied: "Marshal, this Wuguan guard is named Zhou Chong. He is the brother of Zhou Shen, the number one general in the Han Dynasty. He has been following Zhou Shen for many years. After the Wuguan war, The Han State sent him to guard Wuguan. It is understood that there are at least 1 Han troops in the city. If you say that this person still has the ability to make Wuguan as solid as gold, the last general sent people several times to sneak into Wuguan. There is no other way.”

Yue Fei frowned when he heard this, it was difficult to deal with it now, and said: "I didn't expect to encounter such a tough guy in the first battle of the Han Dynasty, that's all, tomorrow I will wait for my commander to personally observe how the Wuguan City Defense will make a decision." Come on, you go down and rest first, and arrange for patrollers, and you must not be negligent."

"Here!" All the generals responded and withdrew from the central army tent one by one.
