"Your Majesty, we encountered enemy scouts ahead!"

"Follow-up response."

"Take orders!"

Groups of cavalry rushed to reinforce them.

Later, the battle report came.

"Your Majesty, our army joins the infantry to defeat the enemy's cavalry."

"good!"

This is a good start.

Han Ji smiled and said: "It's a good time to open the door!"

Later, the soldiers who had made meritorious service in this battle were brought.

"This... I just saw it yesterday, and I have made a contribution today."

Yang Xuan pointed at Zhao Yong.

The general leading the team introduced: "Your Majesty, Zhao Yongchu is not afraid of fighting. He killed two enemies with one shot. One of them was an enemy general."

"Oh! One shot penetrated two people. Strength and courage are both indispensable. Tell me, what drove you to be so brave in the first battle?"

Yang Xuan asked with a smile.

Zhao Yong felt a little sad, "Your Majesty, the villain is guilty."

"Why?" Yang Xuan likes such simple young people and thinks there is no need to use his brain.

Zhao Yong raised his head and said, "At that moment, the villain should be thinking about serving the envoy, but the villain, the villain was thinking about my mother's words and wanted to go home."

"The courage to go home!"

Yang Xuan's calm tone made Zhao Yong feel uneasy.

"Who isn't?"

Yang Xuan patted him on the shoulder, "This is a living warrior! Record your merits!"

"yes!"

There are paperwork and records around me.

Zhao Yong was taken away, looking a little depressed.

"He violated his oath." Jiang He'er said.

"He is just an ordinary young man. When he goes into battle for the first time, you can think of fighting bravely for me as your commander. That is unrealistic.

When I went into battle for the first time, my mind was empty and I relied on my intuition. At that time, the only thing I could think of was, survive! Go home!"

Jiang He'er asked: "Is this also the case for Langjun's first battle?"

"Um!"

But at that time, Yang Xuan had no family.

But it’s different now!

Yang Xuan thought of his wife and children, especially A Liang.

That kid's howling was earth-shattering.

"Your Majesty."

The scout came to report, "The enemy's rangers have retreated."

"good!"

Yang Xuan smiled and said: "We won the first battle and spread the word to the whole army."

"Wan Sheng!"

Amid cheers, the army marched forward.

…

"Your Majesty."

In the lobby, He Lianrong and Xiao Manyan were studying the battle situation.

The clerk came in and said, "The scouts came to report that they were defeated in the first battle."

"As expected." Xiao Manyan said with a smile: "Our army is a scout, and the Tang army is a large army."

He Lianrong said: "Being undefeated is not good!"

The two smiled at each other.

The clerk resigned, and Xiao Manyan said: "With a victory in the first battle, the enemy's morale will naturally be greatly boosted. When morale is boosted, there must be a place to vent. But Tanzhou has closed its city gates tightly, and how can Chenzhou's army vent? The only way is to attack the city.

Attacking a city is easy to say, but difficult to do. How many people are Yang Gou prepared to die when the ants attack the city?

Even if he can break a small county town, with heavy casualties, how can he resist the counterattack of the main force of our Tanzhou Army? Let alone go to Taoxian County to resist our Liao army going south?"

This is the first battle that was deliberately lost!

Xiao Manyan said: "Your Majesty still claims that he doesn't understand battle formations, but I am speechless for planning this time. I am ashamed of myself!"

"What you see is only victory or defeat, but what I see is the overall situation." He Lianrong was not proud, and said calmly: "Winning or losing does not matter at the moment. The key is to boost the morale of Chenzhou Army and force Yang Gou to attack the fortress.

City. In this way, our army took the initiative while waiting for work. And all of this was for the purpose of preventing Yang Gou from reinforcing Taoxian County!"

The admiration in Xiao Manyan's eyes was undisguised, "Your Majesty, you are wise!"

War is never a one-time victory or defeat!

To be able to overcome victory or defeat and see the strategy behind victory or defeat, this is the most handsome thing.

He Lianrong spied on the strategy, which made Xiao Manyan feel ashamed.

"In a battle, I'm not as good as you, so I have no choice but to come up with ideas." He Lianrong smiled.

"Envoy." The clerk came again, "Ning Xing has come as an envoy."

"Please come."

When the envoy came in, He Lianrong and Xiao Manyan stood with their hands tied.

"Your Majesty has made up his mind to march south!"

"Your Majesty, you are wise!" The two of them were overjoyed.

"Your Majesty ordered Tanzhou to contain Chenzhou's army and not allow it to reinforce Taoxian."

"Take orders!"

The envoy asked: "When I first arrived, I saw that everything was on guard, and the city gates were even more tense. People are allowed in but not allowed out. But is there something wrong?"

"The envoy doesn't know that Chen Zhoujun is here." He Lianrong said.

"Oh! That's good." The messenger said, "Your Majesty asked me to stay and send the news back at any time."

This person actually has some intentions of supervising the army.

It must be the case that the Emperor's uncle secretly hoarded ores!

He Lianrong said: "Welcome."

The messenger nodded, "Do you have confidence in this battle?"

He Lianrong said: "Yang Xuan wanted to reinforce Taoxian, but he was afraid of our Tanzhou army, so he took the initiative to attack. In the first battle, I ordered my men to pretend to be defeated..."

"Arrogant enemy?" The envoy didn't seem to be a stickler, and he knew some common sense in the military.

"Yes. Let Chenzhou Army win the first battle and the morale will be high. But morale cannot be maintained for a long time. If we don't find a place to continue our efforts, morale will fall quickly. Therefore, Yang Gou can only lead the army to attack. But I, Tanzhou, stay behind closed doors. He

We can only attack fortified cities!"

"What a good plan!" The messenger felt that it was appropriate. "Can we be sure of defending the city?"

He Lianrong nodded, "I have been preparing for a long time, just waiting for Yang Dog to bump into me."

"Okay!" The messenger smiled and said, "If it's critical, I can also go into battle!"

He Lianrong smiled, "At first glance, the envoy is very brave. This battle needs warriors like the envoy. I think the victory in this battle is also due to the envoy."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

The messenger was taken to the place with satisfaction.

Xiao Manyan sneered: "It's shameful that you have learned how to take credit for your own merits!"

"Being an official for thousands of miles is just for money. Credit is money and power. Who doesn't want it? When the time comes, report the victory, add his name, and give a few heads. There is no need to be angry."

"Yes." Xiao Manyan ignored the matter, "Envoy, Ning Xing actually sent an envoy, which is a bit unusual."

"The matter of the emperor's hoarding of ore has been leaked." He Lianrong smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty sent an envoy here just to beat you up. If we lose this battle, I will be in danger!"

"Why do you need to worry? The emperor's uncle is here!"
