The state of Zhen was barren and impoverished far more than the Fengguo in those days. When fighting, the imperial court could not afford to pay huge military expenses. Therefore, it had the tradition that the Zhen army plundered the booty and owned it. This is also a typical style of fighting for war.
However, the Baizhan army has now belonged to Fengguo. They have a fixed monthly salary to receive, and their officers and soldiers have a stable and rich income. Chen Xiu and others have their reason to hand in the spoils.
In the end, Nie Ze could only say that everything in the Baizhan army was done according to the tradition of the Zhen army. If there were differences, he would ask the king to make a decision when the king arrived.
When he said this, Chen Xiu and others were not good at him, and the matter was not settled for the time being.
In the battle of Clay City, the hundred battles army won a complete victory, and the casualties of the whole army were not large. For the wind country, the victory of the first battle was a great joy. The morale of other regiments was also greatly encouraged and was extremely high. However, for Mo state, it was no doubt that the Zeping County defense line, which was managed with painstaking efforts, was easily torn open by the Feng army. The next war, I'm afraid It's much harder than I thought.
The general of the central army stationed in Zeping County of Mo state is general Yuan Cheng. He is a cousin of General Li Jin. He has some real talents and practical knowledge, and is not a general person who has climbed up through relations.
Yuan Cheng was on pins and needles after the tragic defeat of the clay city. He had no idea how to resist the fierce hundred battle army.
When discussing the countermeasures with his officers and men, Yuan Cheng could not help but lament in public and said: "the hundred battles army of Fengguo is in fact the Zhen army, the courage of which is unparalleled in the world, and there are as many as 400000 people. What can I do about this?"
The following Mo will look at each other, no one dare to answer. The battle power of the Zhen army is there, everyone can see. The city defense of the white soil city is so strong, and there are 80000 elite soldiers stationed. But the Zhen army did not use it for half a day, so it completely captured the white soil city. Such a strong army is no longer what its current strength can match.
At this time, a counsellor below stood up and said to Yuan Cheng: "general, although the Baizhan army is strong, it is not invincible. First of all, the general can send a man who can speak eloquently to the Baizhan army and persuade him to surrender his chief general, Nie Ze. The Baizhan army is a virtuous man. If they can take refuge in Fengguo, why can't they turn to Mo again
Yuan Cheng's eyes first brightened, then he shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's not easy to persuade the Baizhan army to change sides!"
"Yes! If we can succeed in persuading the Baizhan army to surrender, it will certainly be the best. If not, it is no big deal. Now that the Baizhan army has captured Baitu City, it is necessary to advance to Jinpan. After passing through Jinpan, it is Panling. The general can fight with the Baizhan army here with the help of favorable terrain. In this battle, our army can fight if we can, or withdraw if we can't. As long as our army successfully leads the Baizhan army into the hinterland of Zeping county and cuts off its supply and retreat routes, no matter how powerful it is, it will become a prey to the enemy even if it does not fight! " The counsellor was named Shen Yuan. Yuan Cheng's family background was also one of his most important think tanks.
After listening to Shen Yuan's talk, Yuan Cheng felt a sense of Mao's sudden opening up. He nodded his head and said, "good, good, good. This is a wonderful plan." Then he looked around the crowd and asked, "what do you think Mr. Shen said?"
All of them bowed their hands and said, "what Mr. Shen said is very true. The general can follow Mr. Shen's advice."
"Yes The audience said the same thing. Yuan Chengda nodded his head. He took a deep breath, stood up, and said, "if we can defeat the hundred battle army in one fell swoop, then my commander and other generals will become famous in the first World War. In the future, we will enjoy endless glory. If this war fails, you and I will not be able to go back to Zhenjiang to see the king."
The generals also stood up and intervened in the salute: "don't worry, the general will swear to live and die with the general, advance and retreat together, and fight the enemy to the death!"
Jinpan city is located in the south of Baitu City, which is more than 200 li away from it. When Nie Ze, commander of the hundred battles army, arrived at Jinpan city without any fighting, he occupied the city bloodlessly.
Before the Baizhan army arrived, it was already an empty city. Not only did the garrison withdraw completely, but also the people in the city ran away.
Although the Baizhan army blocked the news of the massacre in the Clay City, how could such a thing be blocked? The ferocity of the Baizhan army had long been publicized, and the people of Mo fled.
The war went smoothly. Even under the two cities of the state of Mo, Nie Ze was also very happy. He made a report to the rear. He ordered the whole army to stay in Jinpan city and repair it for one day. Tomorrow, he continued to March south.
Before the Baizhan army marched southward, the ambassador from the state of Mo came first and asked to see Nie Ze. When the two armies were at war, they did not cut down the envoys. Nie Ze was patient and met with the envoy of mo.
The ambassador of Mo is a middle-aged man in his early 40s. He has a white face and a black beard. He is thin. He looks like a weak student. Nie Ze sat in the tent of the Chinese army, glanced at the envoy of Mo for a moment and asked, "who is coming? Name it!"
The middle-aged man bowed his head and did not dare to squint. He respectfully saluted Nie Ze and said, "my humble officer, Wang Dong, meet general Nie of Zhen state." He deliberately added the kingdom of Zhen in front of Nie Ze, and also deliberately reminded Nie ze that he was a virtuous man, not a wind man.Nie Ze is not a fool, how can not hear his meaning. He looked up and laughed and said, "you are really ignorant. I don't know if you will have gone to Fengguo for a long time? Now this general is the commander-in-chief of the first army of Fengguo. If you dare to slander him again, you will not blame me for being merciless. "
Wang Dong heard the speech, his face suddenly changed. He quickly changed his words and said, "it's an official's mistake. I hope the general doesn't blame him."
"Hum!" Nie Ze snorted coldly, raised his head and said, "tell me what you are coming for."
"I came to see general Nie at the order of my general." Wang Dong was talking, and his eyes were turning around, thinking about how to induce him to fall.
He reached into his arms and took out a brocade box from it. Before he could deliver it, the guards around him rushed forward and put several steel knives against his neck.
Wang Dong was so scared that he explained in a hurry: "don't get me wrong. This is a little bit of my general's wish for general Nie."
Nie Ze laughs. The commander of Mo Jun even gives him a gift, which is fresh. He waved to the guards, told them to step back, and said, "send it up."
Wang Dong's heart a joy, quickly handed the brocade box to go.
Nie Ze took it and opened it. Well, there was a bright pearl about the size of a quail egg. Even in the daytime, the Pearl was still shining and piercing. Nie Ze is a man who has seen the world. He is so pure and so big that he can't even buy it with money. He squinted at the night pearl, then closed the brocade box, without meaning to send it back. He conveniently placed it on the desk beside him, with one hand still on it, as if afraid of being snatched away by others.
He said with a smile: "such a valuable gift, Ben will, how good to accept it!" The Zhen generals on the left and right almost laughed when they heard the speech. The general's action and the general's words were diametrically opposite.
Since Wang Dong is sent to be a lobbyist, he is naturally good at observing his words and expressions. Only by looking at Nie Ze's expression, he can judge that he is greedy for money. As long as the other party has weaknesses, things will be easy to handle. He is afraid that the other party is hard hearted and will not be affected by any treasure he sees.
He rubbed his hands and said with a smile, "it's just a small gift. It's nothing compared with my general's admiration for general Nie. I hope the military will accept it."
Nie Ze nodded with a smile and said, "in this case, this will be disrespectful!"
Seeing the opportunity, Wang Dong said, "in fact, it's a pity that general Nie can only be commander-in-chief of an army."
"Oh? What do you mean "
" as long as the general is willing to transfer to our country, he will certainly be able to make a marquis and worship a prime minister and become rich and noble all his life. My king also highly appreciates general Nie. He often says that general NIE is actually the head of the generals today. If general Nie comes to Mo, the king is willing to make a vow with general Nie as a brother of different surnames and share the vast rivers and mountains of Damo. " His words are half true and half false. It is true that Shao Fang appreciates Nie Ze, but it is impossible to divide the country equally with him.
When he finished, the faces of all the people on the scene changed, and their bodies trembled. The conditions offered by the state of Mo were attractive enough. It was incredible that King Mo wanted to share the country with the general. At this time, even Chen Xiu and others on the other side could not help but get nervous. If Nie Ze could not resist the temptation and really turn to Mo, the blow to Fengguo would be too great, and even the battle of felling Mo might turn into a battle of fighting wind.
Other Zhen generals are also big eyes staring at Nie Ze, waiting for him to make a statement. They have no feelings for Fengguo. If Nie zezhen defected to Mo, they would not hesitate to follow him.
Nie Ze chuckled and said, "Lord Wang, as long as I am willing to join Mo, King Mo will become brother with me?"
"Yes Wang Dong agreed simply.
"Whether you say it's true or not, one thing is obvious." Nie Ze body forward, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by a full face of cold. He said word by word, "you're going to kill me!"
After hearing this, Wang Dong's legs softened, and he knelt down on the ground with a plop, and said: "wronged, wronged! General Nie, the villain dare not harm the general. What the villain said comes from the heart "
before he finished, Nie Ze waved his hand and sneered and said:" in today's world, who knows, Mo Wang Shaofang has already killed his brother completely. Who is his brother and brother is unlucky. Now you want me to have a brother with Shao Fang, which is not to hurt me or what ?”
