Chapter 179: Battle of 2 troops at the border, why are we all from the same family?
As soon as Sima Yi finished speaking, there was an uproar in the tent.
Everyone looked at Sima Yi with admiration in their eyes. He was indeed a wise military strategist who could see through Chu Zhenzhou's conspiracy at a glance!
"You are such a cunning man, Chu Zhenzhou, you actually want to use such a sinister trick against me!"
Chu Yang snorted coldly, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
He looked around at everyone and asked in a deep voice, "Everyone, are you willing to follow me and meet this so-called 200,000-man army?"
"I am willing to follow Your Highness, even if it means death!"
Everyone shouted in unison, with such momentum that it seemed as if they were going to overturn the entire tent.
"Okay! Pass the order down, assemble the entire army and prepare for battle!"
Chu Yang stood on a high platform, looking at the dark army below, feeling full of pride.
Over the years, he has recruited soldiers and worked hard, and now he has 100,000 elite soldiers under his command, each of whom is a warrior capable of fighting ten to one.
More importantly, he was assisted by a group of civil and military officials such as Xing Daorong, Sima Yi, Wang Meng, and Pan Feng. He was strong in both men and horses and full of confidence.
"Report!"
A scout ran to the stage, knelt on one knee, and reported loudly: "Your Highness, we have found traces of enemy troops fifty miles ahead. There are about 200,000 of them, and the leader is none other than General Guan Wang, the commander of the border!"
"Haha, this General Wang is really impatient. He came so soon."
Chu Yang laughed loudly, his eyes full of contempt, "Pass the order down, the whole army will attack!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The deafening sound of war drums rang out, and Chu Yang's army rushed towards the enemy like a giant black dragon.
Before the two armies officially engaged in battle, a murderous atmosphere filled the air above the battlefield.
Chu Yang's army was in high spirits and eager to fight.
However, the 200,000-strong army led by Wang Zheng seemed somewhat silent, as if they did not hold out much hope for the outcome of this battle.
soon.
As the two armies faced each other, General Wang Zheng, the commander of the 200,000-strong army at the border, came out and bowed.
"General Wang Zheng has met His Majesty the Seventh Prince. I wonder why His Majesty is plotting a rebellion?"
Hearing this, Chu Yang couldn't help but laugh and said, "General Wang, you should know who is plotting rebellion."
"Now that Crown Prince Chu Zhenzhou is governing the country, he doesn't take Emperor Yongning seriously at all. He is simply deceiving the emperor."
"You actually aided the tyrant in his evil deeds. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by the world in the future?"
Wang Zheng's expression changed slightly when he heard this, but he quickly regained his composure and said calmly.
"Your Highness, you are joking. Your Highness the Crown Prince is the crown prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It is only natural for him to govern the country. How can you say he is plotting a rebellion?"
"It is you, the Seventh Prince, who raised an army without the imperial edict. You are the real traitor!"
"fart!"
Xing Daorong had a hot temper. When he heard Wang Zheng's words, he immediately became furious and cursed, "You old bastard, you confuse right and wrong. I will enforce justice on behalf of heaven and take your life!"
"General Xing, calm down."
Chu Yang raised his hand to stop Xing Daorong, turned to look at Wang Zheng, and a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"General Wang, you don't have to play word games with me here. We both know in our hearts who owns the world."
"Today, I, Chu Yang, raise an army to purge the emperor's entourage, punish the treacherous ministers, and restore order to the Great Zhou!"
Wang Zheng snorted coldly and said, "Your Highness the Seventh Prince is so arrogant! In that case, I will learn from your high-handed tactics!"
"General Wang, why are you so tense?"
Chu Yang raised a playful smile and waved his hand calmly.
"We are all citizens of the Great Zhou. After all, we are all one family. Why should we kill each other?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Zheng sneered in his heart. This Seventh Prince is really good at acting!
Now he is leading the enemy, yet he comes to talk to him about family ties, what a hypocrite!
However, his face remained expressionless and he spoke with a forced smile.
"Your Highness is right, but I wonder what ideas you have to avoid this war?"
"Simple!"
Chu Yang waved his hand, as if everything was under control, "Each of our armies will send out a general to have a fair duel! Whoever wins will be the winner, how do you say?"
"Oh? Your Highness, are you trying to end this quickly? That's too much of a joke."
Wang Zheng stroked his beard and wondered secretly in his heart, what is the seventh prince up to?
Did he think that the outcome of this war could be decided by just capturing a general?
Too naive!
"General Wang, you worry too much,"
Chu Yang seemed to see through his thoughts and said slowly, "Of course I won't take this lightly. How about this, to show our sincerity, we both retreat thirty miles each. Whoever can capture the other side's general within three days will be the winner. How do you think?"
When Wang Zheng heard this, he had an idea and thought it was a good idea.
If he could capture Chuyang without spending a single soldier, the mutiny in Qiongzhou would be quelled.
And I will also be a famous general!
Thinking of this, Wang Zheng nodded and said loudly: "Okay! Since Your Highness is so interested, I will risk my life to accompany you! What do you think?"
Chu Yang smiled slightly, secretly calling him an old fox in his heart, but said out loud.
"A word is settled!"
Wang Zheng turned around and looked at the soldiers behind him who were looking at each other in confusion. He sighed in his heart and announced loudly.
"All troops, listen up! Retreat thirty miles and set up camp!"
soon.
Chu Yang returned to the tent, but he did not feel relaxed at all.
Wang Zheng's army of 200,000 was like a mountain, pressing him to the point of suffocation.
Although he said it lightly, he knew in his heart that it was not easy to capture Wang Zheng without any effort.
"Your Highness, you asked us to come here, but is it because of Wang Zheng?"
Inside the tent, Sima Yi, dressed in a blue shirt and holding a feather fan, spoke first with a calm tone, as if everything was within his expectations.
"Mr. Sima is indeed a man of great foresight. This is why I came here."
Chu Yang nodded and told Wang Zheng about the agreement he had made with him to capture the general.
Wang Meng was immediately anxious when he heard this, and he slammed the table and stood up, "Your Highness, you must not do this! Wang Zheng is so cunning, how could he be captured so easily by you? There must be something fishy going on here!"
Chu Yang waved his hand, "Of course I know there is a trick, but now that our army has just arrived and is unfamiliar with the place, it would be unwise to confront the imperial army head-on. It would be better to use their tricks against them and see what Wang Zheng is up to."
"Your Highness is right,"
Xun Yu, who had been silent on the side, suddenly spoke up with an unfathomable smile on his face, "In my opinion, Your Highness should not only pretend to be friendly with Wang Zheng, but also take the initiative to show weakness and withdraw the troops to Qiongzhou."
"what?!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Meng jumped up and pointed at Xun Yu's nose and cursed, "Xun Yu, are you crazy?! You want to withdraw your troops despite the good situation?! What on earth are you thinking?!"
"Sir, please be patient,"
Chu Yang raised his hand to stop Wang Meng, then turned to look at Xun Yu, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes, "What is the meaning of your suggestion?"
