Chapter 675: Broken Eagle Charge
Changshan, Shangquyang
Lü Mingzhi was ordered to bring a group of people to meet General Sun Mingsun, escorting secret weapons.
After meeting him, Lv Mingzhi told Sun Ming, "The governor and General Qin Heng have unanimously decided to give the first military use rights of these two secret weapons to your Sun Family Army. Your Sun Family Army will fire the first shot."
It would be better to use these two extremely harmful weapons on foreigners first.
Sun Ming solemnly stated, "I will definitely live up to the expectations of the governor and General Qin Heng."
Lu Mingzhi's mission on this trip is to lead people to be responsible for the deployment of explosives in a certain place. The location of this place will be designated by Sun Ming.
After Sun Ming discussed with his subordinates, they decided on the location.
After asking Lv Mingzhi about the location, Lv Mingzhi said it was no problem and he would take people to deploy it after they completed the preliminary work.
"Okay, Mr. Lu, I'm going to show you a trick to lure the snake out of its hole and trap you."
Lv Mingzhi smiled and said, "Then I'll wait and see. I hope the more people perform, the better. That way it will be more lively."
"Guaranteed to be satisfied."
As soon as Sun Ming finished speaking, Muye jumped out and said, "General Sun Ming, I request your command!"
"General Sun Ming, we request your orders!" Sun's eldest son and second son both stepped forward to request your orders.
Looking at the soldiers who were not afraid of fighting, Sun Ming nodded, the morale of the army was high.
The middle and upper-level generals in Pingzhou were all eager to fight for territory, and they all hoped that Pingzhou's territory would become more and more vast. Because Pingzhou became more powerful, they would benefit more when Pingzhou established a country in the future and enfeoffed meritorious officials.
Chang'an, Grand Commandery
Everyone under Xie Zhan's command looked at each other and couldn't help sighing.
Failed, all failed.
He arranged for people in Pingzhou to pass back news of their failures. Some people even died before they could send back any news.
Xie Zhan remained indifferent to all this.
This time, the action against Lu Songli is carried out on multiple fronts. It doesn't matter if most of them fail. As long as one line succeeds, their plan will be successful.
Now, it’s not the end yet, how can we easily say who will win or lose?
After the discussion, Xie Zhan asked everyone to disperse.
Afterwards, he worked in the study for another half an hour. After finishing his business, he took a look at the sky.
Zhao Yutan had previously sent a message saying that he wanted to meet him.
Xie Zhan thought for a moment, then stood up and walked towards a secluded path in the backyard. His followers hurriedly followed.
After about a quarter of an hour, he arrived at a remote courtyard. When the gatekeeper saw him, she hurriedly opened the gate.
In a blink of an eye, he saw Zhao Yutan, who was wearing simple plain clothes.
At the steward's signal, the servants in the room filed out one after another, and soon, only two people were left in the room.
"What do you want from me?" Xie Zhan asked directly.
"Did you attack Lu Songli?" Zhao Yutan had a complicated expression.
Xie Zhan didn't say anything. He killed Lu Songli not out of personal grudge, but simply because she blocked his way.
But Zhao Yutan's wife obviously didn't think so. After six years of marriage, she didn't understand him at all.
"What do you want from me?" Xie Zhan asked again.
"I want to leave Chang'an and take Lin'er to live outside for a while."
Xie Zhan frowned. He had heard a little about the recent situation in the mansion.
Lu Fei and Xiao both gave birth to a son and a daughter.
He knew very well that the birth of two children would have an impact on his wife, the mistress, and the eldest son. After all, people below him tend to flatter the powerful and bully the weak.
It's understandable that she wants to go out and hide away.
For the sake of his son Xie Lin, Xie Zhan agreed to his wife's request.
"Okay, let someone prepare. When are we leaving?" He may not care about his wife Zhao Yutan, but the eldest son has a different meaning to him.
"I'm going to Fuling." Zhao Yutan said. The Xie family also has property there.
Xie Zhan was surprised. He thought the other party wanted to stay in a manor outside Chang'an for a while.
"That place is too far, why not choose a place closer?"
Zhao Yutan bit his lip and said, "I want to take the child away from all this trouble. And it's a bit far away, but it should be safe."
Zhao Yutan insisted on going, and Xie Zhan had an idea.
"Sure. I'll have someone prepare a carriage for you later."
Seeing that she was fine, Xie Zhan left.
After Xie Zhan asked his confidant who accompanied him to pay attention to her abnormality, he put the matter aside. All his energy was currently focused on the war with Pingzhou and Xianbei, and he really had no energy to think about anything else.
After Xie Zhan left, Zhao Yutan was reluctant to let anyone in to serve him.
There was an uncertain expression on her face. She wanted to go to Fuling for no other reason than that there was a place there called Zheyingchong.
Changshan, the Xianbei royal tent
Changshan. Due to the concession of Dali, the Xianbei have now occupied half of Changshan, one quarter is occupied by the Sun family army of Pingzhou, and the remaining one quarter is still in the hands of Dali.
It was a big piece of cake that originally belonged to them, but a part of it was torn away by someone.
Just thinking about this made Tuoba Khan very unhappy.
"Khan, we Xianbei can't keep avoiding Pingzhou."
"Khan, the Pingzhou army isn't that great either. The team we surrounded and annihilated earlier had 3,000 soldiers. If their reinforcements hadn't arrived quickly, we would have wiped out all 3,000 of them."
"Over the past few years, I've noticed that Pingzhou seems very good at defending its cities, but never attacks ours. Is it possible that the Pingzhou army isn't good at attacking cities?"
Yuchi Rui summarized the battles between the Xianbei and Pingzhou. Many of the battles in Pingzhou were defensive battles. It is true that the city of Pingzhou was strong and the Xianbei could not conquer it. So how could they defend Pingzhou and attack it?
"That's not the case. Didn't Pingzhou recently capture Zhuozhou, Leling, Hejian, Bohai, and other places?"
"Can the useless trash from Dali be compared with our heroic Xianbei warriors?" Just because the soldiers of Dali couldn't defend the city doesn't mean that they, the Xianbei, can't!
This is based on facts. For example, after the northern border, Liangzhou and Yanmen fell into the hands of the Xianbei, wasn't Pingzhou unable to do anything to them?
Yuchi Rui's words made everyone fall into deep thought.
"Also, it is certain that Pingzhou's ability in field battles is not as good as our Xianbei's."
"That's right. Once our Xianbei cavalry marches out, they are invincible. Who in the Dali of Pingzhou dares to challenge us?"
"As such, we won't have the advantage in attacking Pingzhou's cities, and Pingzhou will be powerless against the cities we capture. However, our Xianbei cavalry possesses an overwhelming advantage in field battles."
After this analysis, the members of the Xianbei royal tent suddenly felt that the Pingzhou army was nothing special, so why should they be afraid of it?
After this analysis, we can basically confirm one thing: as for the cities of Dali, whoever gets it from the Xianbei or Pingzhou will own it.
Tuoba Khan and others also came to the conclusion that they, the Xianbei, should take as much as possible.
