Only he knew how much pressure Liang Xiao was under, but the pressure Yu Shan was under was obvious to all. At least he felt so. In his opinion, everyone was watching his jokes. Kan Yu was the biggest concern for him. No one dared to give advice, no one dared to talk to him, he just waited silently for orders.

He knew that he should make a decision immediately, whether to continue attacking or retreat immediately, and should make a decision as soon as possible, the baggage battalion was destroyed. He could not hold on for too long, but he was unable to make a decision.

He didn't know how he should decide. The successive setbacks made him feel seriously disconfidant about his ability to command troops.

He didn't know if anyone would listen to his decision. After making such a stupid mistake, what would the generals think in their hearts, and what if they refused to execute it?

Time passed day by day in Yu Shan’s self-doubt.

In fact, this period was not very long, no more than five days. However, these five days almost crushed Yu Shan. Just as he mustered up the courage to launch another attack, Wei Qing and Wu were led by thirteen tower ships and five thousand infantry cavalry, and appeared in Zhangpu.

When Liang Xiao saw Mei Gao, he was surprised and happy. He rushed forward and held Mei Gao's hand tightly. "Shaoru, why are you here?"

"Can't I come?" Mei Gao laughed, patted Liang Xiao's hand, looked at Zhao Yingqi. Liang Xiao understood and quickly introduced. Mei Gao heard that Zhao Yingqi was the prince of Nanyue, and his face changed immediately, but he said nothing. He and Zhao Yingqi were very polite to see the courtesy, and then pulled Liang Xiao to the side.

"Bo Ming, you are so brave that you actually brought the Prince of Nanyue here. What if something happens? "

Liang Xiao smiled and briefly said the situation in Nanyue. Finally, he said: "I have no choice. Lu Jia has too much influence. If he doesn't have enough identity, no one can compete with him. Zhao Yingqi is young and easy to cheat."

Mei Gao smiled bitterly and shook his head. "You are really useless. But then again, if you weren't brave, you wouldn't have achieved what you are today. Bo Ming, I have two tasks here. One is to go on a mission to the Western Qiang and have some achievements. The emperor gives me the opportunity to join the army and make meritorious contributions. The emperor asks me to bring something for you."

Mei Gao said, taking out a thin brocade box from his sleeve and handing it to Liang Xiao. Liang Xiao opened it suspiciously and saw that on the silk in the brocade box, there was a jade ring carved from Hetian jade. It was crystal clear and the white jade was flawless, but not big, with a diameter of about three inches, small and exquisite. Liang Xiao played with it for a while, and was a little puzzled.

"I'm just sending a jade ring from a thousand miles away? Although this jade ring is beautiful, it's a bit slim."

Mei Gao couldn't help laughing. He reached out and patted Liang Xiao on the shoulder. "Okay, don't be disgusted. For this jade ring, Lingtang and Wengzhu spent nearly two thousand gold."

"What does it mean?" Liang Xiao became even more confused.

Mei Gao said about Liu Ling's donation of money to help him provide relief, and finally said: "This jade ring is of course a rare thing, but its value is not the jade ring itself, but its symbolic meaning. Jade is a ritual vessel. If the emperor gives jade, it must have the intention. The ring is also a perfect one. In other words, after this battle, you can return to Beijing to work."

Liang Xiao raised his eyebrows and then understood what Mei Gao meant. It turned out that the gift of Yuhuan was to express reconciliation.

"What else will you give except jade rings?"

Mei Gao understood what Liang Xiao wanted to ask. He smiled slightly. "Jade Jue."

"Jue means to be cut off, the meaning of cutting off?"

Mei Gao nodded. "You won't hope that one day."

Liang Xiao didn't say anything, put Yuhuan away, turned around and handed it to Xiya, but he felt a little depressed. He didn't feel sorry for the two thousand golds. Even if this was not the case, he would not have any objection to learning that Shandong was suffering from disaster and donated two thousand golds to save the disaster. However, he felt very uncomfortable with the power of life and death.

No matter how hard you work, if the emperor doesn't want to, you will have to live far away from the world. If he is unhappy, he will give you a jade ring and he will be ruthless from now on. Maybe you will commit suicide by causing trouble.

What a bullshit reason?

Liang Xiao didn't say anything else and asked about the war. Mei Gao could also feel that Liang Xiao was unhappy and tacitly changed the topic, talking about the passage he had rushed from Chang'an to Huainan, then to Kuaiji, and then to here.

Mei Gao was on duty as an envoy. The emperor appointed him as the envoy of the army supervisor. He rushed from Chang'an to Huainan and became the contact between the imperial court and the Huainan Navy, and held a stern command of the army to the south. He and Wu Que led the modified thirteenth-floor ship to Kuaiji, met with Han Anguo, Wei Qing and others, and attacked Dongye from the sea. King Ying of Minyue did not expect this move, and in a hurry, he had to go out of the city to surrender.

Soon, Han Shuo rushed to Dongye and told Han Anguo about Liang Xiao and Zhao Yingqi. When he learned that Liang Xiao was attacking Zhangpu, Han Anguo was overjoyed and immediately arranged for Wei Qing and Wu to be led by 5,000 infantry and cavalry on a tower ship and along the coastal route to Zhangpu.

"Doctor Han has sent a letter to the Daxing Order to inform him of the situation here. If nothing unexpected happens, the Daxing Order should have sent troops. However, there are many mountains on the western front. It is hard to say whether he can come here in time. Bo Ming, can we force the surrender of Yu Shan?"

"I can't think of where Yu Shan can go now." Liang Xiao smiled. "What you want to ask is whether you can kill Yu Shan, right?"

Mei Gao also smiled. "Yes, Your Majesty did not say it clearly, but I think I can take this opportunity to take Minyue into Han County and warn Nanyue at the same time, so as not to push back and refuse to accept the conspiracy."

Liang Xiao had a slight head. "I have this intention. The reason why I have always promoted the power of cavalry is to let the monarchs and ministers of Nanyue realize from the bottom of their hearts that the strength of the court is beyond Nanyue to compete with. Put away the heart of watching the sky from the well. I have finished laying the groundwork, and now it's your turn to perform."

Mei Gao curled his lips and said jokingly: "You are too high to lay the groundwork. How can we get up? Maybe we will have to fall into a blue nose and swollen eyes. Your Majesty said, these hundred riders are handed over to you, and you don't push them out, just perform again."

Liang Xiao laughed. "Let me be the general of Wei Qing? I won't go. Let's do this, I recommend someone."

"who?"

Liang Xiao turned his head and looked at Han who was protecting Mei Gao from afar and said, "Here, that boy."

Mei Gao thought about it and felt it was reasonable, so he nodded.

The discussion was decided. Mei Gao said goodbye and left. Liang Xiao invited Zhao Yingqi over to inform him of the war arrangements. When he learned that the Han reinforcements had arrived, they had captured the capital of Minyue and destroyed Minyue, and planned to capture Yu Shan in one fell swoop, Zhao Yingqi was of course happy. He asked excitedly: "June, can we participate in the war when attacking Yu Shan?"

"Your Highness is interested, of course. However, the situation of your nobleman's daughter is not that urgent now, so it's better to be cautious. Tens of thousands of people are fighting, and no one can guarantee whether there will be any danger. Therefore, I suggest you don't participate in the war, just guard the ridge and watch our Han army fight."

Zhao Yingqi blinked. "Although the Han army is brave, it only has five thousand infantry and cavalry. Can it defeat Yu Shan?"

"Why don't your highness wait and see?" Liang Xiao smiled meaningfully. "If the stalemate is not over, your highness can act according to the opportunity. Whether you take the opportunity to escape or decide the outcome with one blow is all within your thoughts."

Zhao Yingqi touched his chin and laughed twice.

Mei Gao returned to the camp by the sea and told Wei Qing about Liang Xiao’s opinions. Wu Que. Wei Qing was relatively speechless. Han said that he was even more surprised. He couldn’t believe his ears for a moment.

After a while, Wu was coughed lightly, breaking the calm. "General Wei, Liang Junhou was afraid of slander and ridicule, and refused to take on this task. He could only see the general showing his power."

Wei Qing glanced at Wu Que and smiled silently. He was not stupid, so how could he not tell that Wu Que was making excuse for Liang Xiao? Liang Xiao is the son-in-law of Huainan and has always been intimate with Wu Que. Wu Que is definitely not happy to let Liang Xiao be the leader for him.

However, he did not mean to let Liang Xiao be the general of the attack. He was of the same title as Liang Xiao and was called brothers, so how could he treat Liang Xiao as a fighter general of his subordinates? Fortunately, the emperor did not say that, but said that he would hand over the cavalry composed of these hundred Langguans to Liang Xiao to show the power of the Han army's elite cavalry. Liang Xiao recommended Han Shuo to command these hundred Langguans, which was not considered as resisting the imperial edict.

Wei Qing turned to look at Han and said, "Champion Hou Zhuyu is ahead. You have to work hard, and you can't lose the majesty of our Han cavalry."

Han said excitedly and hurriedly said, "Please rest assured, I will definitely live up to what the two of you wish."

Wei Qing sighed lightly: "I was going to hand over all the cavalry to Bo Ming's command, but he wanted to be lazy, so I had to accept my hard work. Wu Jun, you will be responsible for the infantry. Our infantry and cavalry teamed up to let the people of the South Vietnamese see the strength of the Han army. How about it?"

Wu nodded with a smile and agreed. "It is my honor to fight side by side with General Wei. General Wei, when will it be better to start?"

"No hurry." Wei Qing waved his hand calmly. "Since Bo Ming succeeded in attacking the camp and burned Yu Shan's baggage camp, Yu Shan must not be able to hold on for too long. We can compete with him for endurance first, and then break it with one blow. Don't forget that not only are there South Vietnamese troops here, but there are 20,000 South Vietnamese troops south of Liangshan. If it cannot shock its heart, Zhangpu may not stand firm."

Wu was slightly slapped. He had long experienced Wei Qing's steadiness and knew that he was not the kind of person who was eager for quick success and instant benefits. At this moment, he was not surprised to hear Wei Qing's arrangements.

They had decided to discuss and set up camps, but did not attack. They just sent an envoy to see Yu Shan. The purpose was very simple, to persuade Yu Shan to surrender. However, their persuasion of surrender was not sincere at all, just to delay time. Yu Shan just made a little request, but the envoy refused, and then pulled a bunch of useless things and returned home, which made Yu Shan confused.

Then Wei Qing and Wu Que were not idle. Wei Qing led a thousand elite cavalry and Wu Que led more than 3,000 infantry to practice on the slopes by the river every day. The Lang Guan led by Han Shuo seized all the time to get familiar with the terrain and prepare for the upcoming battle. Han Shuo unexpectedly got the opportunity to command troops and worked hard to fight a beautiful battle. He was like Liang Xiao and Wei Qing, who were awarded a marquis with military merits.

The Han army was training troops, and the Fujian and Yue army were frightened. Especially when they saw groups of Han cavalry running back and forth on the grass by the river, they were even more anxious. In just a few days, they were raided twice by Liang Xiao. At one time, they defeated Yu Shan's five hundred personal guards with only twenty cavalry. Once the number was unknown, the effect was very exaggerated. They directly burned the baggage camp, and they didn't even see what Liang Xiao looked like.

The cavalry left a heavy shadow in the heart of the Minyue Army. At this moment, seeing more cavalry training in front of them, the pressure is imaginable. You should know that the cavalry led by Liang Xiao was riding Dian horses, while these cavalry were riding Hun horses. Although they could not be compared with Yu Shan's Western Region horses, they were much taller than Dian horses without exception, and the sprint speed was significantly faster.

What kind of scene would it be like if such a cavalry rushed to the scene?

The daily training of the Han army was like a preview of the lingchi punishment for the Minyue Army, which made the Minyue Army extremely nervous. Before the battle started, the Han army had the upper hand psychologically.

While Wei Qing was training every day, Liang Xiao was not idle either. He asked the South Vietnamese knights to hurry up and train so that they could participate in the war when necessary, and he pulled Zhao Yingqi to watch plays every day. The purpose of attacking and killing Yu Shan was to kill chickens and scare monkeys. Yu Shan was a chicken, and Zhao Yingqi was that monkey. He let him use his eyes to experience the most convincing power of the Han cavalry. When he returned to Panyu in the future, he would know how to persuade Zhao Hu, the King of Nanyue.

Zhao Yingqi quickly understood what Liang Xiao meant. After observing the training of the Han army at close range, he smiled bitterly: "June, when will you start the war? If you don't fight, Yu Shan is fine. I'll be scared to death by you first."

"What are you afraid of?" Liang Xiao said with a smile: "Do you want to fight us too?"

"Don't!" Zhao Yingqi shook his head repeatedly. "I dare not fight you even if I have the courage to do it." He let out a sigh and said, "You have too many horses, so tall, and running so fast."

"Do you think we are only strong in cavalry?"

"Isn't it?"

Liang Xiao laughed loudly. He knew that Zhao Yingqi could not bow his head so easily. As a young man, who would easily admit that he was not good enough, he had to find some psychological comfort for himself. He laughed twice, but did not continue. Zhao Yingqi felt strange, turned his head to look at him, raised his eyebrows, and waited for Liang Xiao to explain to him.

Liang Xiao was silent for a moment. Seeing that Zhao Yingqi was not giving up, he smiled and said, "Now I tell you that you won't take it seriously. After this battle, I will take you to take the boat. You can see it yourself."

Zhao Yingqi frowned slightly. "What do you mean is that you are better than Nanyue, the navy?"

Liang Xiao glanced at him and chuckled, revealing a little disdain. Zhao Yingqi was a little angry, but didn't say anything. Since Liang Xiao said he wanted to take a boat and see it with his own eyes, he would wait patiently and look at it again.

The two of them were thinking about their own thoughts, and no one spoke, but there was an invisible battle that planted seeds in their hearts, like two precious swords colliding with each other, knocking out a series of sparks, clanging sounds.-
