Battle to Pacify You Province (11)
Looking at the three of them, Zhu Wushi smiled slightly and said in a relaxed tone.
"The battle of Hanshan Prefecture is actually over; I have already received the news."
Upon hearing this, a hint of urgency and doubt flashed in the eyes of the three. They were anxious because they also wanted to know the result, and they were doubtful because they still had no news, and today was only the first day of the Great Feng's attack. How could the battle in Hanshan Prefecture have ended so quickly?
Ignoring the expressions of the three, Zhu Wushi paused for a moment before continuing.
"Our army won a great victory in the Battle of Hanshan Prefecture, annihilating the 150,000-strong army of the Great Feng."
Upon hearing Zhu Wushi's words, Wang Long's eyes widened, and he exclaimed in disbelief.
"What? The entire 150,000-strong army of the Great Feng has been annihilated?"
All three of them looked on in disbelief.
They knew all too well how many troops Hanshan Prefecture had. How could such a small force possibly Great Feng army of Dafeng? Moreover, the first battle had just begun, and on the very first day of the war, they had already wiped Great Feng.
Even if you let 150,000 pigs roam freely on the Xuanshan Plain, it's impossible for them all to be slaughtered so quickly!
Besides, these are living, breathing people. Are all the people of the Great Feng useless? Are their generals all idiots?
Clearly, the battle at Zhenyou City today showed that no, those guys had planned this all along and were well-prepared.
How could it just disappear like that?
Wang Hanying's face showed a hint of surprise and doubt as she asked uncertainly.
"Lord Zhu, military matters are of utmost importance and cannot be taken lightly!"
Lu Shuangxing also looked at Zhu Wushi with a puzzled expression; this matter was truly hard to imagine.
Zhu Wushi said solemnly.
"Such a momentous matter is not to be taken lightly. Indeed, we Great Feng the 150,000- Dagan army of the Great Feng, while our Da Gan garrison suffered a loss of over 30,000 men."
Among them was a Body Cultivator Corpse Immortal Sect the Peak Ascension Realm, Ink Snake from the Shadow Kill Hall and the people of Great Feng joined forces to attack His Your Highness, but they have all been killed.
It can be said that the military situation in Hanshan Prefecture is settled.
Then Zhu Wushi extended his right hand as a claw, and the map hanging in the corner was instantly brought to the four people's eyes, spread out in the middle of the room, and moved as Zhu Wushi's true energy transformed into markers, pointing out the route for the three.
"Now the army of Hanshan Prefecture has surrounded Zhenyou City. The remaining 40,000 troops will come from the Hanshan Mountains towards Zhenyou City and will reach the flank of Great Feng."
Fifty thousand iron cavalry will circle around to Great Feng's rear, forming an encirclement. At that time, Zhenyou City will also need to coordinate an attack from within and without. The main army will move from the left and right flanks. When the battle becomes intense, the central army will then move, with all three sides moving simultaneously to catch Great Feng and decide the outcome of the battle in one fell swoop."
Looking at the troop movements on the map, Wang Long, as the commander-in-chief, was well aware of its ingenuity and couldn't help but clap his hands in admiration.
"Good. With this deployment, our army will surely win a decisive battle and defeat the Great Feng."
Upon hearing Wang Long's sudden voice, Wang Hanying, who was immersed in the battle plan, frowned slightly, glared at him, and shouted angrily.
"Shut up."
Just when things were getting really interesting, you interrupted, spoiling the mood.
Looking at the plan, the three nodded repeatedly in agreement, but suddenly their expressions changed, looking rather strange.
Something seems off.
Something's not right. Something's definitely not right.
Where did these 50,000 iron cavalry come from?
The entire You Province only has 80,000 Zhenyou Cavalry and 30,000 You Ran Cavalry, so where did the remaining 50,000 cavalry come from?
The Prefect of You Province Lu Shuangxing, asked with a shocked expression and a trembling voice.
"Lord Zhu, where did these 50,000 iron cavalry come from?"
Although he already had a guess in his mind, Lu Shuangxing still didn't dare to be sure.
Fifty thousand cavalrymen are no joke.
Wang Hanying and Wang Long also looked somewhat stunned, finding it hard to believe that the highest military and political commanders of the entire You Province were all here. They knew all too well how much wealth You Province possessed.
After careful consideration, the three of them were shocked. Looking at Zhu Wushi's slightly ambiguous smile, they realized they already had the answer, but they dared not admit it themselves.
Zhu Wushi, however, confirmed their thoughts.
"Don't you three already guessed it? Without His Your Highness's 50,000 iron cavalry, how could the garrison of Hanshan Prefecture have annihilated the Great Feng?"
The three of them swallowed hard. The Prince of Qin had 50,000 iron cavalry. They would have to take their time to process this matter; it wouldn't be a quick recovery.
After Zhu Wushi finished speaking, the tent remained silent for a long time. All three of them seemed to be frozen in time, with only Zhu Wushi leisurely drinking his tea.
After seeing the three slowly come to their senses, Zhu Wushi stood up, took out Chu Xuanao's Imperial Clan token, his face turned serious, and said solemnly.
"His Your Highness has ordered that the garrison of Hanshan Prefecture on the flank, along with the Wolf Cavalry, will coordinate with the main army in Zhenyou City. This battle will decide the fate of the war; there must be no mistakes."
Wang Hanying and Wang Long said respectfully.
"Wang Hanying (Wang Long) obeys."
This sentence also clearly states the position of the Shenying Marquis Manor's mansion, and also explains to another person that Wang Hanying and Wang Long are well aware of Zhu Wushi's intention in leaving Lu Shuangxing.
We need to use this matter to see what the Lu Family chooses.
Now only Lu Shuangxing remained at the scene, her face contorted with complex emotions. Looking at Wang Hanying and Wang Long, Lu Shuangxing felt a pang of disbelief.
When Wang Long came to us before, he only assumed they had some connection with the Prince of Qin, or at most, they were interested in submitting. But you've directly declared yourselves subjects; is that right?
The Prince of Qin had only been in his fiefdom for a few days, and the vast Shenying Marquis Manor had already made such a decision?
Prince of Qin!
Good tactic.
At this moment, Lu Shuangxing understood that the overall situation was already decided. Even without his Lu Shuangxing, after the Battle of Youzhou was over, the news would spread, and the Prince of Qin would still be renowned and popular, able to seize power and take control of You Province.
Its soaring momentum is unstoppable.
As for those who obstruct the Prince of Qin and prevent Prince of Qin from winning, they deserve to die even more, and the entire Lu Family will perish as well.
He never considered treason.
Perhaps it's time for the Lu Family to make a choice.
Lu Shuangxing stood up and said in a deep voice.
"Lu Shuangxing the order."
Zhu Wushi smiled. This was the reason he kept Lu Shuangxing with him. Lu Shuangxing of You Province, and the Lu Family were powerful figures in You Province. With them around, things would be much easier later on.
As for the leak, only smart people know that; those without brains wouldn't be in this position.
After that was confirmed, the atmosphere in the tent seemed to become more relaxed. During the conversation, Lu Shuangxing asked tentatively.
"Why doesn't Lord Zhu inform the troops of the great victory at Hanshan Prefecture to boost morale? Or Your Highness intend to personally go to Zhenyou City?"
It's not hard to guess that Zhu Wushi during the discussion was clearly because he was waiting for the right opportunity, which could only be due to His Your Highness Prince of Qin arriving with overwhelming support.
Zhu Wushi said in a deep voice.
"Indeed, His Your Highness will arrive soon, at which time he will surely stabilize the morale of the You Province army and restore its military prestige."
The three nodded. After the discussion, Lu Shuangxing returned to his residence and had someone find an elegant garden in Zhenyou City, but no plaque was put up.
The next day at noon, Zhu Wushi, Duan Tianya, Marquis Shenying Wang Long, and a powerful expert from the Lu family who had reached the peak of cultivation arrived at the south gate of Zhenyou City. This was the road they took from Hanshan Prefecture to Youguan Prefecture and then to Zhenyou City.
Lu Shuangxing and Wang Hanying were not present. Wang Hanying was busy stabilizing morale, coordinating the army, organizing the defense of the city, and making arrangements for all parties. As for Lu Shuangxing, his first Dagan battle had ended in defeat, resulting in heavy losses and the cult causing chaos in various prefectures. As the prefect, he had just as many tasks to handle as Wang Hanying.
The military situation was urgent, and the two of them were indeed unable to spare the time, so they had to send someone instead.
More than twenty figures could be seen rushing towards Zhenyou City from afar, using their lightness skills to traverse the mountain forests, turning and leaping, covering a hundred meters in the blink of an eye, and arriving in front of them in no time.
Before the city gate, everyone bowed and paid their respects.
"Greetings, Your Highness."
