Chapter 823 Good Dog
Zhao Biao shuddered all over and said quickly,
"Not guilty, not guilty. Your Highness is not guilty at all. This is all my fault. I should never have done this. I know I am guilty!"
"Okay, get up and tell me what's happening on the battlefield right now."
"As ordered!"
Zhao Biao stood up and said,
"Our army arrived in Lingling yesterday and started fighting today. Your Majesty dispatched an army of 800,000 to 900,000 men to attack the enemy's defenses. All five defense points were breached, and the fighting is still going on.
Our army stayed in the main camp to protect His Majesty, but then we received intelligence from heaven that a 100,000-strong army was about to attack the main camp. His Majesty then ordered the general to stop the enemy and sent Liang Kai with 50,000 Divine Vanguard troops to the south to prevent the enemy from escaping.
Hearing this, Shen Changgong smiled and said to the Southern King,
"Look, our Majesty is personally leading the army, commanding a massive war involving millions of men, and it seems he's even winning."
King Nan was very upset and said,
"One million and three hundred thousand people versus four hundred thousand people. Unless you have a mental disorder, you can't find a reason to lose."
"Okay, let's go back to the camp."
They returned to the camp in a mighty force with the 20,000 Zhennan Army and the 50,000 White Horse Army.
These 20,000 troops had been running back and forth for too long and fighting for so long that they were already exhausted and in urgent need of rest.
After entering the general's tent, Fairy Mei Yan sat down directly, picked up the cold tea on the table and started drinking it in gulps.
Shen Changgong looked at Yan Fuyao who was sitting on the handsome chair and said with a smile,
"Your Majesty, your knight has returned."
"Thank you for your hard work. How is the elimination of the Japanese invasion going?"
Yan Fuyao raised his head and looked at Shen Changgong, checking if he had any injuries.
"They are just some Japanese pirates, a bit cunning, but their fighting ability is not that strong.
We killed the enemy on the shore, and our navy destroyed the pirates' lair. We also reached Ningde in Qian State, where we completely wiped out the main force of the pirates."
"You're still helping the Qian Kingdom fight? Then the Emperor Qian will definitely praise you as a loyal and good person."
"Hahaha, it would be better to reward him with some silver and an official position."
"Then why don't you go and join the Qian Kingdom?"
Yan Fuyao glared at Shen Changgong fiercely.
Shen Changgong moved a chair, sat next to her, put his arm around her shoulders and said,
"There's no such beautiful empress in Qian Kingdom."
After saying that, Shen Changgong gave Yan Fuyao a kiss on her pretty face which was full of maternal tenderness.
Yan Fuyao rolled his eyes at him and said,
"Okay, you two are back now. I should give up my position as interim head coach. If there's anything I need instructions for, you two can take care of it."
"What's there to command? 800,000 people against 300,000. I have the advantage, what could go wrong?
There are so many battle-hardened generals here. If anything goes wrong, they will be the first to be held responsible.
Since you were the one commanding from the beginning, you should stick with it and command until the end of this battle.
It would also be a good idea to record in history books that during the battle of Dayan against Qianlingling, the emperor personally led the army to defeat the enemy.
First, tell me how the various legions are deployed."
"The Tianyu Army and the Weihu Army will attack in the middle..."
Yan Fuyao repeated her plan and then said,
"That's about it. Now all the legions have rushed into the group and are fighting fiercely in the enemy's positions."
"What about the Zhennan Army? Did you order them to assist the main army in the battle?"
"Yes."
"What a waste! Whether it's in the city, fort, or camp, they can't run. The cavalry can't fully exert its power. The best way is to have them go around the south of the enemy line and intercept the enemy's fleeing troops when they retreat south.
Otherwise, even if half of the people ran away, it would not be easy for us to fight Guilin. The Three Passes and Dragon and Tiger Pass are both dangerous places. "
Hearing this, Yan Fuyao frowned slightly and said,
"But there are mountains ahead, and we don't know the way to the south."
"Where did that enemy army of 100,000 men come from?"
Hearing this, Yan Fuyao's eyes lit up and he immediately picked up the map and looked at it carefully.
But these are not marked on their maps.
Shen Changgong sighed, flicked her head, and said,
“Before a major battle begins, we must first understand the terrain and draw a map. Even if there is no time, we must launch a hot air balloon in advance to observe the terrain from the sky.
You have nothing on it, and you are completely in the dark, what are you going to do?"
"Did you capture any prisoners while you were holding off the enemy?"
"Yes, I have."
"Then let the Zhennan Army on the front line withdraw, let the prisoners lead them through the valley to block the enemy's rear."
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Shen Changgong flattered him without leaving any trace.
Then, he called the messenger and asked Zhang Han to lead the Zhennan Army to retreat to the front line and follow the prisoners across the valley to block the enemy's rear.
After giving the order, he ordered someone to bring in two captured Japanese pirates.
"Your Majesty, look what fun things I brought."
Yan Fuyao looked up and saw two short, bald men with collars and leashes around their necks. They walked in, knelt down with a thud, and said in a poor accent,
"Long live the Emperor of Dayan!"
"This is... Japanese pirates?"
Yan Fuyao looked at the two ugly and wretched Japanese pirates in front of him curiously and asked,
"They can speak Central Plains? What's it called?"
"Your Majesty, I call my grandson Taijian!"
"My name is Kameda Taro. We are good citizens. We don't kill people from the Central Plains."
The two of them quickly put on ingratiating smiles.
However, looking at their appearance, Yan Fuyao showed a look of disgust on his face and said,
"Why did you bring these two things to see me? They dirty my eyes."
"Oh, you're being arrogant."
Shen Changgong said,
"These two have made great contributions and have been tamed by me. They can be used for translation or guidance in the future.
In a few years, we will be able to go on an expedition to Japan and we will definitely need them, so let's keep them for now.
But these two are not irreplaceable. We have captured quite a few prisoners, many of whom speak the Central Plains dialect. If these two disobey, we will chop them up and feed them to the dogs, and then choose two new ones."
These words were actually said to the two Japanese pirates. The Japanese pirates are like bullies who bully the weak and fear the strong. They need to be threatened and beaten from time to time. If you treat them too well, they will become rebellious.
Yan Fuyao said,
"They have made contributions? They should be rewarded, right?"
"Of course I will reward you."
Shen Changgong picked up two cakes from the dessert plate on the table, turned around and threw them on the ground, saying,
"The emperor gave it to you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The two of them quickly picked up a piece each and stuffed it into their mouths without even blowing it.
Yan Fuyao looked at this scene and was silent for a while before slowly uttering two words.
"Good dog."
