Chapter 526: Inspecting the Troops in Jiaocheng



"Deputy General Chang, time is running out, quickly call the captains of the fourth battalion!"

Mo Qiandai knew that Qiao Zhongguo would not sit still and wait for death.

The fire that burned the city was so big that Qiao Zhongguo guessed that they had already figured out Wu Ding's situation clearly.

Now he has an army of 150,000 at his disposal, while Qiao Zhongguo only brought 30,000 Yong troops with him to the north. Together with the garrison in Beiding, the total number is no more than 40,000.

At this time, Qiao Zhongguo must be busy arranging his troops, and he couldn't give Qiao Zhongguo any more time!

Upon hearing this, Deputy General Chang became excited and immediately went out of the tent to pass on the order.

It was already late at night. Mo Qiandai was sitting in the tent, wondering how Qiao Zhongguo would respond in such a disadvantageous situation, when he suddenly heard the sound of hurried horse hooves.

Mo Qiandai raised his head suddenly, and the next moment he hurriedly stood up, walked around the long desk and walked out quickly.

If you look closely, you will find that Mo Qiandai's hands clenched on both sides of his body are even trembling slightly.

Riding horses in the military camp, another 800-mile rush!

When Mo Qiandai arrived outside the tent, a man had already galloped down from his horse, shouting, "General, the king has sent an urgent message from eight hundred miles away!"

"quick!"

Mo Qiandai let out a low cry, took the bag impatiently, and hurriedly opened the letter inside. After reading it from beginning to end, his heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.

Fortunately, fortunately, he thought that the family in Beijing had already...

After completely putting his mind at ease, Mo Qiandai carefully read the letter from Prince Jin Yu again, and a sarcastic smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth.

It turned out that the letter he sent out that day to remind Shen Yuanbai that he was a traitor was too late. The capital was already in chaos, and Yu Liu's experience was revealed to the world. He didn't even have to take action, as King Jin Yu had already lost the support of the people.

At this time, King Kim Yu became afraid and wrote letters to appease and win over him, fearing that King Kim Sun would get there first and shake the throne.

But it's too late!

The situation on the front line is now very good. He only needs to defeat Qiao Zhongguo and seize Wuding Beiding, then he can lead his troops back to the capital and pull King Jin Yu down from that position.

What's wrong with changing the surname of this northern country to Mo?

Thinking of this, Mo Qiandai's heart was filled with emotions, and at this moment he could not hide his ambition and aspirations.

However, before the family in Beijing can completely escape from the predicament and leave Beijing, the show - still has to be performed.

So Mo Qiandai went back to his tent and wrote a reply letter, expressing his sincere words and loyalty, but concealing the situation on the front line, saying only that the epidemic situation in Wuding was unclear and needed further investigation, and that he would protect the country at the cost of his life, etc....

Seeing the messenger soldier taking the reply and riding away in the night, Mo Qiandai frowned deeply and suddenly raised the corner of his mouth:

"Oh--"

Soon, Deputy General Chang and the captains of the four battalions arrived one after another. Mo Qiandai discussed with everyone until dawn and only then officially finalized the battle plan.

"Even Qiao Zhongguo is powerless to turn the tide given such a huge disparity in military strength."

"But even so, I still hope that you will not underestimate the enemy and do not advance alone. The situation is very good now, and we can only win and not lose. Let's go!"

Everyone received the order respectfully and hurriedly left the tent to count the troops.

The war is really coming!

Before Deputy General Chang entered the tent, he learned from his personal soldiers that the 800-li express had come again. There were so many people just now that he did not dare to say anything. Only now did he hurriedly ask with concern:

"General, is everything okay in the capital?"

Mo Qiandai knew Deputy General Chang's loyalty, so he did not hide it.

"Oh, it was sent by that guy. He suffered a big setback at the hands of Shen Yuanbai. News from the capital will arrive soon. He has lost the support of the people, and now he knows to rely on me."

Upon hearing this, Deputy General Chang was greatly surprised.

"General, that's great! When the news comes from the capital, we should have won a great victory in Jiaocheng."

"If you swallow Wuding and Beiding, you will definitely become famous. Compared with the two, how can the people not support you?"

Mo Qiandai had the same thought in his mind, but he showed no emotion on his face and just nodded lightly.

Deputy General Chang felt relieved and was about to go down to check the progress of the Fourth Battalion. At this time, Mo Qiandai suddenly remembered something and said in a calm voice:

"By the way, please give some praise to the son of the Lu family."

Upon hearing this, Deputy General Chang immediately understood and took the order and left.

The Lu family does have some reputation and power in the royal capital. When the general leads his troops north, it will be a good thing if he can get the support of the Lu family.

Thinking of how Lu Xiu had been succeeding in the South Camp these days, Deputy General Chang had a sarcastic look on his face, but he couldn't help but sigh: Lu Xiu was really born into a good family.

The soldiers of the four battalions were still doing morning exercises at this time, and were suddenly summoned to the martial arts stage. When they learned that they were going to fight, the whole army was excited!

They all saw the Wuding fire last night. Although they knew the war was coming, they didn’t expect it to come so soon!

Below the stage, Wang Houmai and Liu Shengan glanced at each other secretly and clenched their fists.

Here we come!

After the inspection, Wang Houmai and Liu Shengan returned to the tent. They sat opposite each other, almost unable to hide the excitement in their eyes.

So far, they have instigated the rebellion of seven centurions, all of whom were targeted and exploited by Lucius just like them.

Even though they only have 9,000 people in total, the most important things on the battlefield are morale and formation. Once you are torn open by them, it will not be easy to make up for it!

During this period, Xiang Wenqiu sent two more letters. Liu Shengan was of a rough nature and hadn't figured out anything, but Wang Houmai was careful and attentive.

He could see that Old Qiu spoke highly of Qiao Zhongguo's son Qiao Diyi, and it seemed that he was completely convinced by the other party.

He knew Lao Qiu's character. He was proud and loyal. Anyone recognized by Lao Qiu must be extraordinary.

Lao Qiu promised in the letter that when the opportunity arose on the battlefield, they could just rebel, and he and Qiao Diyi would show up together to protect them all.

Wang Houmai also deduced some other meanings from these words.

It was widely rumored among their Northern Army that the 200,000 troops of Wuding were almost wiped out by the epidemic. Now the Yong Army only had 40,000 men, while they had a full 150,000 men. They, the Northern Kingdom, would surely win this battle, and it would be an effortless victory.

Judging from Lao Qiu's letter, he was also full of confidence in Qiao Diyi and Yong Jun.

From this we can see that the Yong army still has a backup plan!

Wang Houmai firmly believed that Xiang Wenqi would not harm him. They were brothers who had shared life and death together. So he couldn't help but be secretly frightened.

Qiao Zhongguo and his men were really good at this. They acted flawlessly and took the strategy of "showing weakness to the enemy" to the extreme.

Wang Houmai had just thought of this when suddenly someone came to deliver a message saying that the commander-in-chief Lu Xiu had summoned him.

Wang Houmai and Liu Shengan hurried over, only to find out that their Nanying Jia Team was under the full command of Captain Lu Xiu, and that this was a pre-war briefing.

Upon hearing the news, Wang Houmai, Liu Shengan and the seven captains who had been instigated to rebel all had their eyes wide open and were overjoyed!

OK!

Compared to Captain Zhou's direct command, Lu Xiu, a mere figurehead, is much easier to deal with. This is truly a blessing from heaven!
