The ghost king and princess of Feng Qingtian

Chapter 146
The fifth prince pointed to the map and said to Lord Cao: "Look, Lord Hou, here are Huacheng and Laocheng. The news I got is that the ghost king's army is divided into two groups and has already approached the two cities. Although the ghost king doesn't know where he came from 5 Malays were transferred, but she now only has 11 in total, but she dared to divide the troops into two groups, she really wanted to die."

Master Cao frowned and said: "This ghost king is not a simple person, and the fifth prince can't underestimate the enemy. She only has this little force and dares to divide the army into two groups. I'm afraid there is some conspiracy. Thinking that Moyun is small and the people are weak, Their troops, food, grass and other supplies must be insufficient to sustain them for a long time to fight, so what they need to do now is to fight quickly. The ghost king sent troops to the two cities at the same time, which must be out of this consideration. And she has always been scheming, and she must have won The strategy of the city. I just hope that the guards of the two cities will not act rashly, and just keep the city well. Now we should rush there immediately, as long as we can slow down the march of the ghost king, when they run out of armaments, they will be defeated without a fight."

The fifth prince nodded and said: "What Cao Hou said is very true, but he just blindly defends Mo Yun and thinks we are afraid of him, which will affect our military prestige. I would suggest that the troops should be divided into three divisions, Huacheng and Laocheng respectively. Send a general with 5 horses to assist. These 5 people plus the 10 horses defending the city will definitely be able to wipe out the two Moyun armies. Cao Houye and I take the remaining 11 troops to get them. Going back to Kuicheng, which is unguarded, as long as we take down Kuicheng, it will be equivalent to imprisoning the ghost king of Moyun Kingdom and [-] troops in Yuxue Kingdom, and I will make them unable to escape."

Master Cao hurriedly said: "It must not be done. The strength of the Ghost King's army should not be underestimated. Even if there are only 5 horses, they are all elite soldiers. If they miss, it will be bad. Moreover, the troops are too scattered, and it is easy for people to attack. You can take advantage of this opportunity." The ghost king is not a fool, if you divide your troops into three places, won't she join forces to defeat one by one? You just said that people's troops are divided into two places to seek death, but now you dare to divide them into three places. What are you thinking.

What the fifth prince was thinking, Lord Cao Hou soon understood.The fifth prince smiled lightly and said, "Master Cao is becoming more and more cowardly as he lives. The ghost king soldiers are also human beings, they are not gods. Don't worry, Lord Hou. I already care about it. I have ordered Zhang Weiping and Qian Kui to bring 5 Thousands of people will send troops to Huacheng and Laocheng, and they will leave tomorrow. I told them that if you can't win Mo Yunjun and come to see him, Lord Hou can rest assured."

Lord Cao opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything. The fifth prince was not discussing with him, but just telling him.Of course, the fifth prince is the main general, and he is only the deputy general, so naturally he wants to listen to the fifth prince.It's just that he understood what the Fifth Prince meant.Who are Zhang Weiping and Qian Kui? One is Zhang Xiangye's distant nephew and the fifth prince's cousin;None of them had stayed in the military camp for a few days, and they had always been officials in name only in the imperial city, but this time they were appointed by the fifth prince to go out with the army.The fifth prince saw that he had great military exploits in front of him, so it would be too risky to "cultivate" these two people and push them to the position of leading generals all at once.

Of course, Master Cao still thought about what his Cao army would do under the leadership of these two generals, but he still had some luck in mind. how.If the two parties win, he will treat it as a favor to the Fifth Prince.If he loses, let the fifth prince learn a lesson, then he will naturally listen to him even if he doesn't have to say anything.It is well known that the emperor dotes on the fifth prince. He does not stand in line, but he cannot be offended.

Lord Cao didn't speak, the fifth prince nodded in satisfaction, turned around and went back to rest.

On the second day, the two armies set off early in the morning.But the fifth prince was not in a hurry to leave. He said that he would let the army rest for two days before setting off.General Cao persuaded him a few words, but the fifth prince didn't listen, and instead decided to stay for two more days, which made Marquis Cao so angry that he had nothing to say.In the afternoon, Lord Cao led his people and the generals of the Wangcheng garrison to inspect the defense of Wangcheng again, reinforced some city walls, and adjusted the arrangement for the next round of defense.At this time, they learned a shocking news.

In the barracks hall, the fifth prince was so angry that he smashed the teacup in his hand.Laocheng was breached overnight by the Ghost King Army, how it was breached, I don’t know, anyway, most of the people were captured by the Ghost King Army, and the Ghost King Army suddenly appeared in Laocheng.Lord Cao and all the generals felt that this was simply unbelievable.And even more bizarre is Hwaseong.

Hwaseong was submerged by the flood, and the ghost king was helped by heaven, and a flood occurred in this cold winter, and Hwaseong was taken down almost without bloodshed.The specific statement is: the defenders of Hwaseong had just won a few battles at the beginning, and then suddenly one night, the ghost king attracted a flood, which flooded Hwaseong, and the defenders of Hwaseong were dispersed. It fell into the hands of the ghost king.Is this a war? How did it become a fairy tale?Hearing that his forehead was covered with ink lines, Cao Houye felt that he had really seen a ghost. He looked at the fifth prince whose face was as dark as a black pot, Cao Houye said: "Fifth prince calm down, the most urgent thing is to quickly call those two people. Come back, let's discuss in the long term."

The fifth prince thought for a while and said: "No, I don't believe that the ghost king is a fairy if she didn't turn back when she opened the bow. Let them surround these two cities first. Send someone out to find out the news. Let’s talk about those gossips again.”

The soldier who lowered his head to report the letter said in his heart: Is this a lie to confuse the public?I haven't said anything that really deceives people with gossip. Of course, I dare not say it. After two days, the words will reach your ears, and you will know how evil it is.

People came and went on Hwaseong Street, and the people started their normal lives after cleaning up the traces of the flood, as if nothing had happened.Mr. Ning, who has just come to manage Hwaseong, is the eldest son of Ning Xiang. He was the champion of the youth and a prodigy.Like his father Ning Xiangye, he was as good to the people as he was. He never allowed soldiers to harass the people. Mi, all those who do bad things will be arrested. For a while, the people of Hwaseong feel that these days are much easier than when they were under the management of Yuxue officials.

Of course, there are also some differences. Not only Mr. Ning came to the city, but also Daoist Tianshu, one of the three most famous people in the world.Moreover, as soon as Taoist Tianshu came, he rescued the souls of those who died in battle, and exorcised ghosts for the common people.According to the Taoist chief, the flood was caused by the ghost king, but the ghost king was not targeting the people of Hwaseong, but to obey the will of God.It turned out that God saw that the lives of the people were too miserable, so he sent the ghost king to change the fate of the people in Yuxue.It's just that the Hwaseong garrison was too cruel, and the ghost king's army had nothing to do for a while, so God let the ghost king use the force of driving water to change the river's course, flooding the Hwaseong garrison with floods.So, you can see that all the defenders of Hwaseong died, were there any people washed away by the flood?
This thing is really strange here. Many people were drowned in a flood, but none of the people were drowned.Some houses also collapsed, but some of them were too dilapidated and unoccupied, and some of them were outside because people did not come back. There were only two inside the house, but one house was hidden under the table when it fell.One was washed out by the water but got caught on a branch, and none of them really died.How could there be such a coincidence? It's God's will. It's hard to believe.

Yuxue has levied a lot of miscellaneous taxes in the past few years, making the people miserable. The aristocratic family forcibly expropriated the land, causing many people to be displaced. The hardship of life made many people sell their children and sell their daughters, but they still live like years.However, the Yuxue Army was so powerful that no one dared to resist.Now, since Taoist Tianshu said it was God's will, the people are naturally willing to accept it.In fact, who is the emperor has little to do with the people, and the people don't care too much. What they really care about is who treats them well and who makes them live a good life.

Mr. Ning, who was pulled by Wang Lekai to help him manage Huacheng, was so busy that he quelled the matter. Although he was a little disapproving of the old Taoist's "bewitching words to confuse the crowd", the old Taoist was doing his best to help him calm the incident, let alone , the people really listened to his nonsense, so he didn't care about him anymore, and let the old man walk around the streets with a few children every day to establish the image of the ghost king as "brilliant and righteous", while he and General Gao began to arrange Arm your defenses, Yuxue's reinforcements are coming, this will definitely be a difficult battle.

General Gao felt that he was about to face the most difficult battle in his life, so he was ready to defend to the death, and when it came to defending the city, General Gao was still very confident in himself.Mo Yun's generals have focused on defense throughout the ages and have accumulated rich experience. General Gao dared to say that even if the enemy had an army of 5, which was twice as strong as his own, he would still have the confidence to defend him for a year or so. .But when General Gao made all the preparations and found that the opponent had only [-] troops and the leader was not yet a well-known general, General Gao became restless. Should he continue to defend or change his strategy and take the initiative to attack?
In Lao City, Yun Yuhong also received the news that Yuxue’s reinforcements were divided into two groups, and only 5 people came. So useless, sending his hard-trained soldiers to die like this.So what's the conspiracy?But no matter how much they searched for news, it was confirmed that there were only 5 troops, and the other [-] reinforcements had not left Wangcheng yet.Yun Yuhong was stunned for a full hour, but she still didn't understand the key point, but she has always been a bold one, since they all came to die, how could she not help them.Immediately ordered [-] soldiers and horses, and prepared to give a "welcome gift" to the [-] Yuxue Army who came here before they had settled down.
