Yang Jiande gathered two hundred and ten thousand troops to fight against Chongxuan Chu Liang's one hundred thousand Qiu Offense Army.
He did not try to hide this from anyone, and it was impossible to hide it from them.
Everyone knew that Zhongxuan and Chuliang had stationed their troops outside the borders of the Yang Country to wait for Yang Jiande to lead his troops to attack.
However, Zhongxuan Chuliang still represented the State of Qi and sent nine letters of credence in a row to persuade Yang Jiande to calm down. He also said that the two countries were like father and son, and that they should not fight and become the laughing stock of the world.
Even if it was a misunderstanding, the people of Yang would still be enraged by the contents of the letter, not to mention that both sides knew that a war was inevitable.
Anyways, after the Yang army gathered, they formed into a formation and charged toward the border of the two countries.
The last time, Chongxuan Chu Liang only sent over a broken halberd. His intentions were obvious.
A country war that would attract the attention of the entire east region was about to start.
…
The border between Qi and Yang was Rizhao and Chiwei in Yang, and Dingyao and Pingxi in Qi, respectively.
Southeast of Rizhao Prefecture was Dingyao Prefecture, northwest of Qi. At the same time, a part of it was Qi Pingxi Prefecture.
Probably because of Rizhao Prefecture Governor Song Guang's attitude, Yang Jiande did not go through Rizhao Prefecture. Instead, he planned to go through Red Tail Prefecture.
From the map, the entire Red Tail Prefecture was wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, like the tail of a country.
As for its tail, it was touching the lower half of Pingxi County in the State of Qi.
Of course, in truth, Chongxuan Chu Liang's tent was also outside Pingxi Prefecture.
Hence, Red Tail Prefecture had become the focus of the world.
When the plague was rampant, the White Bone Path's Holy Lord was hiding somewhere in Red Tail County.
However, Qi and Yang seemed to know nothing about this matter. Or rather, they both 'ignored' it.
…
…
After killing Shi Jing and taking in four thousand city protection troops, Jia Jia City had become the strongest city protection army in the world. Qingyang Town had already become the strongest power in Jia City, and because of their active resistance against the plague, they had basically cleared out the plague in the town before the plague mutated.
Although the mutated plague was even more terrifying, it was firmly isolated by Jiang Wang's thunderous methods — he beheaded all those who entered Qingyang Town without inspection.
Because they had enough resources and regularly provided aid to the surrounding towns, Qingyang Town had already replaced Jia City's City Lord's office to a certain extent, becoming the center of Jia City.
Perhaps it was because he was afraid of the Junggenjia, or perhaps he was busy plundering, but after Shi Jing's death, the Rizhao Prefectural Governor, Song Guang, did not have any reaction.
But on this day, Jiang Wang saw Chung Geng Sheng again.
He still came empty-handed, only bringing fourteen people with him. The great battle had already begun, and this time, the Entering Sun cultivators did not violate military orders.
"Why are you here at this time?" In the room, Jiang Wang asked first.
Fourteen, wearing a black helmet and black armor, stood by the door with an unapproachable aura, preventing anyone from eavesdropping on their conversation.
The people of Qingyang Town all knew that Chung Geng Sheng and Jiang Wang were friends. Although they were curious, they did not express anything.
Only Xiao Xiao, intentionally or otherwise, walked in a few circles, hiding her dissatisfaction well in her heart.
She felt that Chung Geng Sheng's subordinates blocking the door had somewhat offended Jiang Wang's authority. As for whether or not Jiang Wang was Chung Geng Sheng's retainer, or whether Fourteen himself was not ordinary … these were not within her scope of consideration.
Of course, limited by her strength, she could only hide her dissatisfaction.
Inside the room, Chung Geng Sheng swallowed two fruits, wiped his mouth, and asked, "Do you know why Yang Jiande first gathered his troops outside Zhaoheng City, and then sent them to the front lines?"
He probably understood that Jiang Wang would not support him, so he answered himself, "First of all, there is a problem with his control over Redtail County and Rizhao County. He cannot control any accidents by gathering troops in these two counties. "
Chung Geng Sheng said, "But the most important reason is that whether it is Redtail County or Rizhao County, there is no danger to defend. He gathered his troops in Hengyang County to wait for our army to march straight in. First, he delayed our supplies, and second, he used his territory to divide our army. But the commander has not moved, causing his plan to 'fight in front of Yunwu City' to fail. "
In the army, he only called the commander, not uncle.
Hearing this, Jiang Wang also nodded, "Because of the mutated virus, time is on our side."
"If the commander does not move, then Yang Jiande can only move. Now he has no choice but to send troops out of Hengyang County to fight his way to the front lines through Redtail County. But the country's border is not a suitable battlefield, and there is not enough strategic space outside Pingxi County. Therefore, the commander also intends to enter Redtail County. In other words … Redtail County is the battlefield! "
Jiang Wang understood but did not know what he was up to. "So?"
Chung Geng Sheng laughed and kept him in suspense, "Do you know why Yang Jiande's army did not go to Rizhao County?"
Jiang Wang said unpleasantly, "The Rizhao County Chief's attitude is ambiguous, how can he go to Rizhao County?"
"Yes, Song Guang has 70,000 combat soldiers. He did not surrender to Qi, nor did he obey the Yang King's order. It seems like he wants to be a spectator in Rizhao County and wait for a high price!"
"What does he want?" Jiang Wang was curious, "Junggenjia should not be short of money, and Qi should not be short of money either."
Chung Geng Sheng said, "The survival of the Yang Kingdom depends on this battle, and Yang Jiande is not short of money either!"
Jiang Wang could roughly understand. Qi was richer, but Yang Jiande was more willing to give up on his country when it was about to fall!
In other words, it was not that Qi could not offer an overwhelming price, but that the price would be extremely high and might not be worth it!
"Yang Jiande is wary of Song Guang, but so is the general. If the two armies fight in Red Tail County, how can we allow Song Guang to be a spectator in Rizhao County? "
Jiang Wang frowned, "You mean … Song Guang being a spectator might be a trap set by Yang Jiande? He looks like he is waiting for a high price, but in reality, he might be waiting for the battle in Red Tail County to ambush us? "
"Maybe, maybe not! But we can't and dare not deny this possibility! "
"If that's the case, then even if Song Guang surrenders during the battle, he cannot be trusted."
"Yes, if he wants to surrender, he can only do it before the battle starts. He has to be the vanguard and attack Yang Jiande's army first. If not, the general will not be at ease. But judging from the current situation, he probably won't agree. "
"So what does the general plan to do?" Jiang Wang asked.
Chung Geng Sheng narrowed his eyes and said, "I have already requested to personally negotiate the terms of surrender with him as the Junggenjia's son and the Vice Domain Chief of the Qiu Offense Army!"
Under the Qiu Offense Army, there were eight generals. Below the major general was the deputy general, followed by the major general and vice major general.
Chung Geng Sheng's current position in the army was Vice Domain Chief. Although he did not have any military achievements, with the Junggenjia's background, being a Vice Domain Chief was not a high position. In fact, it was quite low profile. It was probably because he wanted to help Chongxuan and Chu Liang avoid suspicion.
"This is very dangerous!" Jiang Wang said.
If Song Guang was really loyal to Yang Jiande from the start …
Then it was very likely that he wouldn't even give Zhong Xuan Sheng a chance to speak and would directly kill him.
He might even use his identity as the Junggenjia's son to negotiate with Chongxuan and Chu Liang with his life. If Chongxuan and Chu Liang did not accept, Chung Geng Sheng would definitely die. If Chongxuan and Chu Liang accepted, Chung Geng Sheng's political career would be over.
Hence, if Jiang Wang said it was dangerous, then it was really dangerous.
However, Chung Geng Sheng only said, "Wealth comes from danger!"
