Chapter 1202: The last days of the commander (Part 1)
When Bian Wushuang rode his horse into the city, he happened to see the flying dragon flag of Qi on the top of the inner city tower by a soldier who was pulled up and threw it under the city. Instead, it was replaced by the Chu Fire Phoenix Flag. Suqian reached the horse and stood under the Fire Phoenix Flag. Bian Wushuang laughed and rode his horse into the city, heading straight along the slanting path, standing with Suqian on the horse.
The two looked east, and at their height, they could see the troops and horses of Qi who were running away farther and farther away.
"How many people ran away?" Bian Wushuang asked.
"Zhou Jiyun and his most elite guards, more than 3,000 people." Suqian said, "Why let them go?"
"Of course I'm playing a big game!" Bian Wushuang said with a smile.
"If you let this guy go, it will cause us a lot of trouble in the future. This person is not a Muggle that can be dealt with at will. This time we succeeded by luck, because he underestimated the enemy. With this lesson, it will not be that easy to defeat him in the future!" Suqian said unhappily: "I don't know what big chess you want to play, but I always feel that it's not very good."
Bian Wushuang laughed: "General Su, you are a general with a straightforward heart. Well, some things may not be easy for you to understand. Planning a country cannot be limited to a city and a place, and gains and losses at the moment! In short, letting him leave will be more beneficial than bad for us in the future."
"Is it still a country?" Su Qian burst into laughter: "Master Bian, I don't think our Da Chu still has the ability to seek others now. I'll ask you for your blessing. If we can really regain the six eastern counties, we can take a breath. But maybe the best thing to do is to maintain this foundation and not be plotted by others."
"I hope you still need to use it, don't you think it's right? What if it happens!" Bian Wushuang stared at Suqian with a smile. "Think about the Ming Dynasty, what did Qin Feng have at the time? Hundreds of defeated soldiers and the guy who occupied the mountain as kings, what about now? He is called a lonely person. We are better now than he was at that time! Maybe we can do what he can do!"
Suqian's pupils shrank slightly, and he turned his head to look at Bian Wushuang, and his mouth slightly raised: "It's a pity that you are not him, Qin Feng only has one. Bian Shuai, you have been scared by Qin Feng from Qin and came to Chu. Where did you get the confidence to do the same thing as him?"
Bian Wushuang's face turned red and he was a little embarrassed: "General Su, nothing in this world is really impossible. For example, you and me, a year ago, we were still fighting to death in the Luoying Mountains, right? They all gritted their teeth and stared at them and wanted to swallow the other party in one bite. But now, can you think of us fighting side by side, or even peasants here to enjoy the scenery?"
"I really couldn't imagine it!" Su Qian snorted, turned his horse's head, and whipped hard on the horse's thighs. The horse neighed with a sad voice, stepped away with four hooves, and ran away quickly on the city wall.
Looking at the departure of Tuqian, Bian Wushuang's eyes couldn't help but narrower.
"Ship Bian!" Yang Qing happened to come to Decheng at this time, looking at Suqian who was walking far away, and then looking at Bian Wushuang with a little unhesitant expression. He whispered: "Did you have a good conversation with General Su?"
"General Su still has an opinion on me!" Bian Wushuang said helplessly: "Maybe we have been fighting the enemy in the Luoying Mountains for a long time?"
"That's not!" Yang Qing shook his head: "The battle between Qin and Chu is a national war, and there is no personal grudge. Now, Sir Bian is also our general of Chu, so General Su is not for this."
"What does he mean?" Bian Wushuang asked.
Yang Qing hesitated for a moment before saying, "General Su joined the army very early. Although he was on the western border town as soon as he joined the army, it was also the army of our Great Chu!"
"I understand!" Bian Wushuang nodded, "He admires Cheng Wuben very much, right?"
Yang Qing nodded: "Yes, at that time, few soldiers of Chu did not worship Cheng Wuben. Bian Shuai, if you don't get angry, Qin was a disease of scabies in our eyes of Chu, and Qi was our biggest concern. Cheng Shuai, who has been guarding the eastern border for more than 20 years, has not allowed Qi people to cross the line."
"What's there to be angry about?" Bian Wushuang smiled faintly: "At that time, the country of Qi was the best in the world, and the country of Chu was ranked second, and the country of Qin was indeed far inferior to your country of Chu. I was just very surprised. Since Suqian admired Cheng Yiben very much, why did he cooperate with me again? He should understand what it means after the great victory in cooperation with me?"
Yang Qing showed some strange expression on his face, and after a while, he said: "Nothing is strange. In our Great Chu, anyone with a vision knows that he must choose. Between the emperor and Cheng Wuben, he must choose one. Otherwise, if the Great Chu continues like this, he will collapse before the enemy arrives. There was no choice before, but now that Bian Shuai has shown his ability, he has a choice, so even if General Su is dissatisfied, he can only make a choice."
"So that's how it is!" Bian Wushuang nodded with clarity. "What about General Yang, are you the same as General Su?"
Hearing Bian Wushuang's question, Yang Qing was stunned and said for a while: "I am different from General Su, and I don't need to choose."
"I understand!" Bian Wushuang said.
After walking a while, Bian Wushuang suddenly turned around and asked, "Commander Yang, do you admire Cheng Weiben?"
Yang Qing was stunned for a while, but did not directly answer Bian Wushuang: "Ship Bian, I joined the army very early."
Bian Wushuang laughed loudly, whipped the horse and galloped away: "After I wiped out the Qi army in Jinghu, I will go to Jinghu to practice it for Cheng Shuai."
Looking at Bian Wushuang's running back, Yang Qing sighed indescribably.
Suqian had to choose, and he didn't need to choose. So how would the generals choose in Jinghu County City at this time? It would definitely not be smooth sailing. When Bian Wushuang went to Jinghu County City, there was a huge storm. Whether Da Chu could withstand this disaster depends on whether the handover will go smoothly. If it was not smooth, even this big victory in front of him would not be enough to reverse the tragedy.
"Come!" he shouted in a low voice.
After the female wall, several people immediately stood up.
"Notify all of us to evacuate all of Wanzhou County." Yang Qing said in a deep voice.
"Ah, commander, aren't you going to join forces with Jinghu to encircle the Qi army in Jinghu area next?" An inner guard general raised his head in shock.
"We are the inner guards, not the field army. We have done what we should do. The next thing is the field army. We have more important things to do." Yang Qing said.
"Yes, commander, then where will we go next?"
"Go back to Jinghu County!" Yang Qing said.
"Abide by the order!"
In the afternoon, in Wanzhou City, Bian Wushuang summoned the general to discuss matters. When he heard that Yang Qing had led the inner guard to leave Wanzhou City, Bian Wushuang was slightly stunned and no longer cared about it. However, Suqian had a very bad expression.
News of the great victory in Jinghu County and Wanzhou City has been heard back. However, none of the people gathered here felt particularly happy.
This feeling is extremely strange. Since the establishment of the Jinghu defense line, from being passively beaten to slowly forming a deadlock, all the generals never thought that the day of counterattack would come so soon. Bian Wushuang's sneak attack on Wanzhou City meant that the Chu army had surrounded tens of thousands of Qi troops in the Jinghu area. After they lost the navy, they were attacked by such two sides. It was only a matter of time to destroy it.
The recovery of Wanzhou City is just in front of you. Once Wanzhou City is taken back, Jinghu will no longer be the front line of battle, but will have a buffer area in front.
This is a big joy, but the emotions here are complicated and I don’t know how to express my feelings since then.
Bian Wushuang's great victory and the recovery of Wanzhou City meant that Cheng Shuai was leaving.
Cheng Shuai, who left the Jinghu front line, was no longer Cheng Shuai, and his life worries were in the middle of the night.
Cheng Wuben sat down after the big case, his upper body was straightened, looking at the faces of the civil and military ministers on both sides, his eyebrows were raised, and his hands were slapped, "What's wrong with this? Hahaha, the victory, regaining Wanzhou City was the beginning of our counterattack. Zhou Jiyun's troops were eaten by us, and they were stretched out in the six eastern counties, and they could not care about their arms or butts. The domestic form of Qi State was subtle, so it was difficult for Zhou's troops to get reinforcements in a short time. This was a good time for us to recover the six eastern counties. With the six eastern counties, Da Chu had a barrier again and finally had time to breathe. This is a great thing, a great thing! Come, let us congratulate General Bian together!"
Cheng Wuben applauded vigorously, but there were many responders in the lobby.
"What's wrong? I haven't left yet, no one listened to my words?" Cheng Wuben's two white eyebrows slowly stood up.
There was finally a weak applause in the lobby.
"Eat harder!" Cheng Wuben angrily hit the table.
This time, the applause finally became warm.
With a roar of applause, Jiang Shangyan suddenly pushed away the chair, stood up, turned around and walked outwards.
"Jiang Shangyan!" Cheng Wuben shouted angrily: "Get back for me."
"Master, I have a chest tightness and want to go out for some breath!" Jiang Shangyan turned around and said loudly.
"I am going to arrange military affairs soon. As the general of the Jinghu cavalry, you can't go anywhere, sit down!" Cheng Wuben roared.
Jiang Shangyan glared at Cheng Wuben, and Cheng Wuben also glared at him. After a while, Jiang Shangyan finally walked back to the chair and sat down again, but her eyes were already red.
"Mr. Zeng." Cheng Wu's face was filled with anger and looked at the civil servant on his left head with a smile: "This good news should be known to all the people of Jinghu County immediately. It is better to have fun alone than to have fun!"
Zeng Lin nodded: "Don't worry, after the meeting, I will immediately post a notice across the city and send a quick horse to inform the whole county."
"Okay!" Cheng Wuben laughed and said, "Since Wanzhou City has fallen into the hands of my Great Chu, we will naturally launch a counterattack with all our might, attacking Marshal Bian and annihilate the Qi army. Now, I order!"
