(Girls' Literature)

Since the beginning of Manichaeism in Quang Nam. Although there have been some failures, overall. It's been very smooth. There has never been a time like this. Losing ground in a row. But the next day, Zhong Ziang finally understood from the shock. Immediately gather the leaders of Manichaeism for counseling. How to deal with this all-out attack of the Song army.

As before, it was Lai Wenzheng who spoke first and said, "King." This time, the Song army suddenly launched an attack from three places at the same time. There were sixty or seventy thousand troops at their disposal. Apparently it was already prepared. It can be seen that Yang Yan has always refused to fight with our Holy Sect before. But in order to paralyze us. Let your guard down. Therefore, this time Yang Yan is obviously not good. And back-to-back big wins. The morale of the Song army must have been very high. What's more, Yang Yan is also good at using soldiers. If in the opinion of the minister. We should learn from what Song Jun used to do. Strictly guard the passes everywhere. For the time being, there will be no war with the Song army. Wait until the morale of the Song army is exhausted. Centaurs are tired. Then look for opportunities. Fight to the death with the Song army. ”

But his words immediately aroused the resentment of most people. Chen Ziming immediately said: "King." The minister thought that what Mr. Lai said was too long, and the prestige of the Song army was too long. Extinguish the spirit of my Holy Sect. Now the Song army has indeed won one after another. But only by the time we all came back to attend the king's enthronement ceremony. The guards are lax and empty. If the real sword and the real gun start a war. Is my Holy Sect still afraid that the Song Army will not succeed? ”

Zhong Shi also said: "What Chen Yiwang said is true. If it is true that the two armies are fighting head-to-head on the battlefield. How could my Holy Sect lose to Song Jun. Therefore, the minister thought that he should send troops immediately. Give Song Jun a little bit of power. ”

Zhong Zhenxian also said: "The king will come and see it according to his ministers." It was a good thing that the Song army took the initiative to attack this time. They used to hide in the city like shrunken turtles. Don't go to war with us. Of course, we can't do anything about them. But now they don't know what to do. The initiative has come out. Just a few battles with their real swords. It seems to be very beautiful. As soon as my Holy Sect launches a large army. You can recapture it immediately. The son is not talented. I am willing to meet the king in front of him to ask for orders. Lead the troops into battle. Go and face the Song army. ”

Zhong Zhenxian bypassed Ren Xiu last time. When attacking the Song army, he was attacked by Chen Yichao. The battle was lost, but fortunately, the losses were not large. Although he came back and lied that he had won the battle and deceived everyone, he never felt very good in his heart. However, he didn't think that he lost the battle because of how strong the Song army was. And for my own sake, I was too careless. Therefore, I have been holding my breath in my heart, wanting to fight another real victory. to prove one's abilities. I saw that the opportunity had come. Jump out immediately to grab the order.

But what he just said also spoke to the minds of most people in Manichaeism. After all, most of the current Manichaean leaders did not think that the Song army was very powerful. Because since the beginning of Manichaeism. The siege of the city has been relatively smooth. Even with a couple of defeats. It is also because the Song army is holding on to the city. The siege of the city was not successful, and it was successfully attacked by the Song army. And after Yang Yan arrived in Guangnan. The Song army never dared to engage the Manichaean army. This also fueled the arrogance of the Manichaean army.

Therefore, most of the leaders of the Manichaean religion felt that the strength of the Song army was no more than that. The current series of victories is just a loophole in the enthronement ceremony of Zhong Ziang. When they arrived, they all had a real battle with Song Jun. Therefore, they all agreed with Zhong Zhenxian's opinion. Even Zhao Cao felt that Lai Wenzheng's idea was too cautious.

In fact, Zhong Ziang also thinks the same way. I felt that I should fight with the Song army in my heart. And Zhong Ziang also thinks. After all, Zhong Zhenxian and Chen Ziming still defeated the Song army. Therefore, this battle is at least 70% sure of winning. So he said: "Chen Ziming." Zhong Zhenxian, the two of you immediately took the front army to Xunzhou to meet the Song army. ”

The main force of Manichaeism was the five armies of the Governor's Office. Now the Chinese army is stationed in Guizhou. The former army was stationed at Pingdanyi. Martial arts. Ryuping. After the loss of these places. All retreated to the Martial Immortals. Xunzhou. The rear army was returned by Zhong Zhenxian and Chen Ziming. Stationed outside the city of Guizhou. The Left Army was in Pennsylvania. The right army was in Fujizhou.

Zhong Zhenxian and Chen Ziming said: "The minister's order." ”

Lai Wen's political opinion and religion decided to send troops to fight a decisive battle with the Song army. There is no way to get it back. I had to say again: "King." Now the situation is urgent. Even if it is to go out to meet the army. It is also necessary to mobilize people from all walks of life. Concentrate the army to deal with the Song army with superior military strength. You must not go to meet the Song army with a small force. ”

Zhong Ziang nodded. But it's not unreasonable. He thought about it. said: "What Lai Qing said is also reasonable. So so. You're in charge of the military department. Immediately ordered the transfer of men and horses from Penn Prefecture and Tengzhou to Guizhou. Zhong Zhenxian. Chen Ziming. You led the army to the Martial Immortals. It's better to be careful. Defend the city. If not necessary. There was no need to fight with the Song army. Wait until the army is assembled. It's not too late to fight the Song army again. ”

The three of them said in unison: "Minister's honor." ”

After Zhong Ziang retired from the hall, Zhao Cao and Lai Wenzheng walked out of the hall side by side, and Zhao Cao said, "Mr. Lai." Isn't your mind too much to worry about. ”

Lai Wenzheng smiled bitterly: "King Ming." Girls' literature: After I brought Yang Yan to Guangnan in the past few days. Everything that was done was thought through. Only to find out that we all underestimated him. This man is amazing. ”

Zhao Cao was a little puzzled. "Mr. Lai." I don't understand what you're saying. ”

Lai Wenzheng said: "Think about it. Yang Yan was ordered by the emperor of the Song Dynasty to come to Guangnan to deal with us. He brought more men and horses than Wu Gong. The power is greater than Fan Chengda. And Yang Yan himself is not a timid person. Otherwise, it wouldn't be in Yokoyama. In Renxiu. Fight us in Guangzhou. Girls' literature was updated for the first time But after he came to Quang Nam. He has always refused to defend the city. Don't engage us at war. Now in retrospect. It's really unreasonable. The only explanation is. Yang Yan and Ben are deliberately paralyzing us. Let's let our guard down. Unfortunately, we all ignored it at the time. ”

Zhao Cao's body was shocked. Nodding. "Mr. Lai." You say so. I just got a little bit of it. What Yang Yan did after arriving in Guangnan was indeed not like his previous style. ”

Lai Wenzheng said: "So this time the Song army's attack is by no means an accidental action. Regardless of whether the king will hold an enthronement ceremony. They will all attack. Think about it... It was the hottest time in Quang Nam. Even if the king does not hold an enthronement ceremony. We're going to go out to escape the heat. Who would have thought that the Song army would choose to launch an attack at this time. Therefore, Yang Yan must be fully prepared. So at this very beginning a full-scale offensive was launched. He is not even afraid to fight us head-on. That's why I thought it was not appropriate to fight the Song army at this time. Or should it be mainly to defend the city. ”

Zhao Cao said: "The king did not give an order. King Chen Yi and the prince. If there is no need, there is no need to fight the Song army. Wait until the army is assembled. It's not too late to fight the Song army again. You don't have to worry too much about it. ”

Lai Wenzheng smiled bitterly: "That's what I'm worried about. Actually, until now. Most people in the sect still don't take Song Jun seriously. The attack of the Song army looked at them again. Perhaps it was a good time for a decisive battle with the Song army. Therefore, when King Chen Yi and the prince arrived at Wuxian, they would definitely fight the Song army immediately. But the proud army will be defeated. I think they will lose this battle."

Zhao Cao stopped. "Mr. Lai." So we'll go back to the king right away. Let him re-order. King Chen Yi and the prince were strictly ordered not to engage the Song army. ”

Lai Wenzheng shook his head. Said: "King Ming." Nothing useful. The king will not change his mind. ”

******************************

Zhong Zhenxian. Chen Ziming and Chen Dong led the 20,000 horses of the rear army to Xunzhou. Plus from the flat and post. Ryuping. The defeated army that Wu Huayi returned. There were more than 26,000 troops. As Lai Wenzheng expected. Zhong Zhenxian. Chen Ziming and Xu Wuhe never thought about defending the city. One to Xunzhou. After a little arrangement, the 20,000 horses were gathered at once. Go upriver along the Xun River. Xiang Pingdanyi killed the past.

The 20,000 horses they brought this time were the elite of the Manichaean army. He has rich practical experience. The armament is also complete. Strong combat effectiveness. However, most of them are infantry troops. Out of an army of 20,000, there were only about 600 cavalry. And this time, Zhong Zhenxian and Chen Ziming also learned the lessons of the last time. Don't dare to be careless. Two thousand men were placed on the left and right sides of the army. Keep a distance of about five miles from the army. Protect the flanks of the Great Army. Another thousand men were arranged. The cavalry shuttled back and forth between the teams. Deliver the message. To make sure nothing goes wrong.

The army advanced more than thirty miles. I saw dust flying ahead. A group of Song troops met the Manichaean army and killed them. But this time, Zhong Zhenxian and Chen Ziming were also prepared. The centaur immediately stopped. Set up the formation. Embattled.

It's close. Zhong Zhenxian saw it clearly. The Song army numbered about 1,000 people. Itshiki is all cavalry. But this Song army is also smart. At first sight, the Manichaean army was on guard. Stopped a hundred paces or so from the Manichaean army.
