Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 252 Jealous Men Are Scary

"Defeat without a fight?"

As soon as these words came out, those generals who were not particularly clear about the entanglement between Wu and Chu were stunned, because without personal experience, they could not understand what it would be like to be defeated without a fight.In their impression, whether it is a coach, a general, or an ordinary soldier, once they join the army, they can only charge forward and try their best to defeat the enemy. They never thought of deserting on the battlefield.

"Is this actually an exaggeration?" Qiao Zi looked at the more than [-] people running out of breath under the high platform, and asked in puzzlement, "It is not new to have a few deserters. Giving up the war, I don't quite believe it."

"Old Qiao is right. Deserters... no matter what dynasty or country they are in, is it a disgrace? As far as I know, the people of Chu have always been arrogant and look down on the people of Wu." Tian Yun also nodded, "Speaking of which, Wu and Chu are comparable in strength, and there are many famous generals from Chu, all of whom are good at fighting and have outstanding military exploits. But what about Wu? It has more than one hundred kingdoms. In [-], Wu Zheng was probably the only one who was astonishing as a genius? He alone could fight against so many famous generals of Chu, and beat them to the point where they were defeated without a fight..." He looked at the crowd, "What do you think? is it possible?"

"Why is it impossible? It's very possible!" Shen Jiu wrapped his cloak tightly around his body and said listlessly, "When elder brother, brother Xiaotian, and my sister were born, Liao and Jin were also very scared and called a truce It's been a long time, hasn't it?"

"Xiaojiu, we can be said to be evenly divided with Liaojin. No matter how we look at it, we may have a slight advantage in some aspects, but in other aspects, we may be slightly inferior. Therefore, our strength is almost the same. But Wu State and Chu State are different, they have almost the same land area and similar wealth, but the combat ability of Chu State soldiers and the leadership ability of Chu State Generals are far higher than those of Wu State." Tian Yun described himself He stuffed Shen Jiu with his hand stove, stood up, and called Song Qiyun and Xia Jiu to come and sit down, "I have read some files and historical materials. Before Wu Zheng led the army, the state of Wu was suppressed and beaten by the state of Chu all the time. For example, the two sides have fought ten times this year, and Chu State can win nine times, and they are all won in a particularly unsuspecting way. The remaining time was when General Chu performed abnormally and tied with Wu Jun. .”

"That means..." After Xia Jiu sat down, Shen Jiu threw himself on his back, "Wu has never won against Chu."

"That's right, that's what it means. Although everyone doesn't say it, they all envy Wu in their hearts. They think that Wu is a country favored by heaven. Their luck is very good. Otherwise, how could they be entangled with Chu?" After so many years, they have ended in defeat every year, how can they still keep the border? The people of Chu have nothing to do about it, they can defeat living people, but they are helpless against the illusory will of God.” Jin Miaomiao felt that he was sitting After a long time, my legs were a little numb, I tapped my legs, and slowly stood up, "Thinking about it this way, the people of Chu State are actually very aggrieved, obviously they have the ability to unify the Central Plains, and it is obvious that the people of Wu State are all Waste, vulnerable, but they still can't really win."

"So, what they are really afraid of should be the luck of the people of Wu, right? After General Wu Zheng leads the army, the luck of the people of Wu is better than before, so that's why they are defeated without fighting?" Song Qiyun looked at Shen Cha, " Sister Xiaocha, is this the case?"

"Of course not. According to historical records, what they really fear is General Wu Zheng."

Shen Cha took out a small purse from her cuff, which contained several delicious pastries, which she prepared in advance for supper.She wasn't hungry herself, but she heard someone's stomach growling.

"Don't slander General Wu in front of Xiaocha, she will be very unhappy." Jin Jing took a piece of snack, "A loyal fan of General Wu."

"Such a legendary general of this generation, isn't it a role model for us future generals to learn from?" Shen Cha raised an eyebrow at Jin Jing, and leaned gently on Shen Haolin's shoulder, "If we say that Chu State has been oppressing Wu State before, However, after General Wu led the army, the situation reversed, and Chu State never won a game. Not only that, but there were no occasional draws. General Wu fought in the battlefield for 40 years, and Chu State had [-] members All the generals were defeated by him, and none of them survived, even... twelve of them were killed by him. It's just that Wu Guo has become stronger, and he has to pay a certain price. In my eyes, this price is not small."

"What is it?"

"One is the stability in the country of Wu, and the other is the so-called luck favored by heaven." Shen Cha stretched out two fingers, "First, since General Wu Zheng won his first victory, he has become someone The thorn in his eyes and the thorn in his flesh, he wished to get rid of it soon, but he couldn't do it. In fact, the elder brother of General Wu also knew very well that he was able to do some small things unscrupulously in Beijing because General Wu was fighting bloody battles ahead. If General Wu hadn't resisted the Chu army, he wouldn't be able to feel at ease. Therefore, he only dared to make some minor troubles, and he didn't dare to make any big noises. Second, Wu's luck has always been very good No matter how hard Chu fights, it won’t be able to attack Wu’s Guancheng. But since General Wu wiped out Chu’s [-] main force in Jiufeng Canyon in the first battle, this luck seems to have shifted to Chu.”

"I know what Xiaocha said." Xue Ruitian patted his thigh, "If I remember correctly, since Wu Zheng led the army, there have been several times since Wu Zheng led the army, and the Wu army has already attacked the capital of Chu State. It is about to be wiped out, but there are always problems at critical moments. Either Wu Jun’s supply can’t keep up, or he was taken by the Chu people. Anyway, there will always be all kinds of strange things happening. Without these If something strange happened, the state of Chu would have perished long ago." He sighed softly, "It is also because of this that the state of Chu has survived for decades."

"This General Wu Zheng is really powerful and has changed the whole situation." Song Qiyun sighed, "Brothers and sisters, we already know General Wu Zheng, let's turn back and continue talking about this Longmen Formation, which is the formation that General Wu Zheng is good at. ?"

"It shouldn't be counted. In General Wu Zheng's many years of combat career, the most used formation is the Eight Diagrams Formation. A large Eight Diagrams Formation is surrounded by a Eight Diagrams Formation. At most, there can be a total of ten layers." Shen Cha Xiaoxiao said, "That power...is no less powerful than the Longmen Formation, and if you don't pay attention, you can throw your own life into it."

"I remember..." Xia Jiu looked at Shen Cha, "Sister Xiaocha used this gossip formation against the Liao Army before, right?"

"It's not me, it was my elder brother, Brother Xiaotian, and the military adviser who suggested that we can try this formation. However, we are not very sure about this formation, so we only made two layers." Shen Cha curled her lips, "I guess this also provided a clue for the Liao people, so they only set up the Longmen Formation last time. Then again, in terms of complexity, the Longmen Formation must be ranked first. So far, we are still unable to deduce the original appearance of the Longmen Formation based on the files and historical materials in our hands, especially the large formation built on the waterway..." She shook her head and said regretfully, "Now we can't find any clues."

"Sister Xiaocha, do you feel sorry for General Wu Zheng?"

"Of course, a strange genius like General Wu Zheng has pioneered a generation of warfare. Wouldn't it be a pity that us future generals cannot learn something from him and inherit some of his experience?" Shen Cha With yearning on his face, "If I was born in the heyday of General Wu Zheng, I..."

"What do you want?" Shen Haolin and Xue Ruitian asked at the same time, "What do you want to do?"

"I...I..." Shen Cha was a little confused by their reaction, "What else can I do? Naturally, I followed him on the battlefield!"

"nothing else?"

"...No!" Shen Cha shook his head, "In my heart, he is an indomitable hero."

"You can only watch from a distance, right?" Jin Miaomiao and Hongye instantly understood the meaning of the words of Duke Guo and Lord Hou. Yo, jealous men are scary!"
