Chapter 440 Your Highness Is Not That Kind of Person (Part [-])

A fire in a military camp mostly means that food and grass have been burned.

Xiliang has no towns and residents on the border, so it is impossible to collect food locally, and the food and grass are unsustainable, so it is like water without roots, which cannot last long.

The Xiliang army that was attacking the city realized this, and the morale of the army became unstable, and the offensive slowed down.

On the city wall, the embarrassed An Linghou walked quickly to Zhao Chen, "His Royal Highness, have you sent someone to burn Xiliang's food and grass?"

Zhao Chen stared at the flames soaring into the sky in the distance, as well as the rapidly moving fire dragon, and slowly uttered a few words, "General Ghost Face."

He just got the news two hours ago that General Ghost Face defeated Xiliang Army in Cizhou.The art of war used is to catch turtles in the urn.But one day, they rushed to the border town again, and repeated their old tricks, attacking the Xiliang army from behind, taking them by surprise.

They were able to sneak all the way in Xiliang, and their combat power was really daunting.

But I don't know how many soldiers and horses they came, are they some soldiers and horses, or all the soldiers and horses?If they all came to the border town, what would happen if the Xiliang army from Cizhou made a comeback?
An Linghou said in surprise, "His Royal Highness also believes this rumor? I feel that perhaps the son and General Qiao came back with the five thousand elite soldiers. Now that the back of Xiliang is empty, the son sent a few experts to sneak into the barracks to set up the granary. It's not difficult."

Zhao Chen didn't want to say that none of the guards he sent to the Xiliang military camp came back, Xiliang does not lack warriors with high martial arts skills.

He pointed to the chain of torches and said, "Do you think there are so many five thousand soldiers and horses?"

What's more, of the five thousand soldiers and horses, it would be good to have three or four thousand left now.

Only then did An Linghou realize that under the firelight, a mighty army of soldiers rushed out suddenly, as if descended from the sky.

He muttered to himself, "Is there really a Ghost General?"

He has always listened to this rumor as a joke.

His son Lu Bing is General Ghost Face?Otherwise, what a coincidence, when Lu Bing went to Cizhou, General Ghost Face appeared in Cizhou.Now it's almost time for Lu Bing to come back, and General Ghost Face appeared in the border town again.

An Linghou stopped his back and felt a sense of pride, good bamboo shoots out of bad ones.

Zhao Chen swung his sword and helped An Linghou Ge block a sharp arrow that was aimed at his chest, "The war is not over yet, An Linghou is a little early to be happy."

An Linghou hurriedly shortened his body and hid himself, while saying, "Thank you His Royal Highness for saving your life! But even if I saw the arrow just now, I couldn't dodge it..."

He is just a civil servant, not as strong as his wife.It's just that the two elder brothers died in battle, and he was forced to go on the shelf. Over the years, he barely learned three moves and two styles, so that he would not be so ugly as a general.

Zhao Chen didn't talk to him any more, and issued a military order loudly, and opened the city gate to meet the enemy.

The Xiliang army was attacked from both sides, and their positions were briefly chaotic.The generals of the Xiliang army made a decisive decision and called for gold to withdraw.

They retreated while fighting, but the other party didn't seem to be interested in fighting. After they retreated to the camp, they left in a hurry.

But the direction they went was not the border town, but the other side of Xiliang.

Zhao Chen roughly guessed that General Ghost Face's soldiers and horses had just gone through a great battle, and they were exhausted after running all night, and had no spare energy to confront the hundreds of thousands of Xiliang troops head-on.It was a blessing to be able to scare off the Xiliang army this time.

The purpose of his going out of the city was to meet the Ghost-faced General head-on. As long as he met, even if he was wearing a mask, he could roughly make a judgment.However, the Xiliang Army separated them from General Ghost Face, so they never met each other in the end.

To be precise, the ghost-faced general avoided it deliberately, not wanting to reveal his true body.

An Linghou watched with relief the direction where General Ghost Face disappeared. His son is smart and pretended to be mysterious, so that the Xiliang army could not figure out his details, so he would feel fear and jealousy in his heart.

The army returned to the camp, and the soldiers who had survived from a desperate situation were elated and jubilant.

An Linghou brought two plates of side dishes and a pot of wine to Zhao Chen's camp. Zhao Chen was still at his desk with his bloody clothes still on his body, with a gloomy expression on his face.

An Linghou is used to the prince's diligence, they are lucky to have a great week!
He smiled and sat down opposite Zhao Chen, and put the side dishes and wine on the table between the two of them.

"His Royal Highness, let's drink to celebrate!"

The pen in Zhao Chen's hand didn't stop, and he said in a low voice, "If you stain this memorial even a little, I will punish you for contempt of the emperor."

An Linghou shyly moved Xiaocai to his side, "The memorial should be written, but it's not too urgent. Anyway, the emperor will not agree to send us more troops. Even if he agrees..."

The joy on his face dimmed, "I'm afraid we may not be able to wait until it is alive."

Although his son is General Ghost Face, but this kind of bluffing trick is okay to use once or twice, and can it continue to be used?How many soldiers and horses does the Northwest Army have in total?There is always a time for revealing stuffing.

Zhao Chen stopped writing and pursed his thin lips tightly.

This battle cannot be said to be a victory, it can only be said to be a narrow escape.

What the Xiliang army is doing is to attack in an all-round way and defeat the northwest defense line in one fell swoop, so that they cannot rush to help each other.This time there is General Ghost Face to help, but next time it may not be so lucky.

The Northwest had already fallen after the battle in the previous life, but things are different in this life, and I don't know how Xiliang's response will change.

In the previous life, the father and son of Anling Hou did not die in battle, but were beheaded by him.

Zhao Chen dipped his ink and continued to write. He said with two minds, "The food and grass of the Xiliang army has been burned. They are now retreating from the barracks, waiting for the supply of food and grass. They should not be able to organize an attack within ten and a half months. This memorial Three days later, it will be in the hands of the father, three days later, the Liangchuan camp will receive the imperial edict of dispatching troops, and seven or eight days will be enough for reinforcements to rush from Liangchuan to the border town."

An Linghou poured a glass of wine, took a sip, and sighed, "Your Highness, let's go, you shouldn't lose your life here, you will be a good emperor in the future."

Zhao Chen didn't speak.

He sealed the memorial and handed it to Wei Xiao, "We must arrive in the capital within three days."

Wei Xiao responded, took the memorial and went out to give instructions.

Zhao Chen picked up the jug to pour wine, clinked glasses with An Linghou, and asked him, "Aren't you afraid that after you become the emperor, you will be the first to take An Linghou's knife?"

An Linghou laughed, "How is it possible? Your Highness is not that kind of person."

Zhao Chen sipped his wine slowly, and said softly, "It's hard to say."

An Linghou only thought that he was joking, people who can make such jokes, it can be seen that they trust each other extremely!
He became closer to the prince. He leaned forward and said in a low voice, "I understand that the emperor is afraid of the Northwest Army. He thinks that the Northwest Army is King Jin's backing and will help him plot rebellion. But what the Emperor doesn't know is that King Jin treats Anling The Hou Mansion is really not that close, even though I am his cousin, I am also a young man, and I am still scared when I see him."

He laughed, "I'm not happy to let me help him plot against him."

Of course, it doesn't matter what he said.
