Chapter 375: Ye Ziming's Choice
After a conversation with the five commanders of the five battalions of the Northern Army, King Huai'an led an army of 50,000 out of the capital of the Xia Kingdom.
Rushing all the way towards the north of the capital of Xia State!
Located to the north of the capital of Xia State, here lies Jiang Chen’s former fiefdom.
In this area that was originally a mass grave, King Huai'an led his men to quickly build a series of defensive fortifications.
At this time, Jiang Chen already had an army of 200,000.
Successfully joined together with another northern army.
After the 400,000 troops successfully gathered together, Jiang Chen led the 400,000 troops and continued to march towards the capital of Xia State.
Finally, half a day later, Jiang Chen arrived with an army of 400,000.
Appeared in the sight of King Huai'an and his men!
Looking at the northern army surging like a tide from the horizon.
King Huai'an could not help but stand there and sigh.
"Jiang Chen, Jiang Chen, I didn't expect that between you and me."
"Finally, we have come to this point. This time, let me, Yu Huaian, see how powerful you are!"
After King Huai'an finished speaking, he turned and spoke to the five commanders behind him.
"Pass on my order for today's battle."
"If anyone retreats in the middle of a battle, he will be killed without mercy!"
After King Huai'an finished speaking, he turned around and returned to the built fortifications.
Looking at Prince Huai'an who had returned to the fortifications, the five commanders looked at each other.
Ye Ziming, who was standing among the people, frowned slightly and prayed silently in his heart.
The other four commanders also had their own little thoughts.
After greeting each other, they returned to the fortifications.
After returning to the fortifications, the five commanders quickly gathered their subordinates.
As the 50,000 soldiers from the five battalions of the Northern Army prepared for battle.
Prince Huai'an, wearing a red armor representing the royal family of Xia, walked out slowly .
While Prince Huai'an was on high alert.
Jiang Chen had also brought an army of 400,000 to the fortifications built by Prince Huai'an.
Looking at the defensive fortifications built by Prince Huai'an's side, Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel a little sad.
This Prince Huai'an is truly a talented person. He has achieved so much in just two days.
Defensive fortifications sufficient to withstand a wave of attacks from the Northern Army have already been built!
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen made a decision.
Jiang Chen came back to his senses, turned around and spoke to Huo Xiang and others standing beside him.
" Pass the order down and set up camp on the spot."
"Let the brothers have a good rest and get enough energy!"
After hearing Jiang Chen's order, Huo Xiang and others bowed and accepted the order.
Just like that, under the watchful eyes of Prince Huai'an and the five battalions of the Northern Army.
The 400,000-strong Northern Army stopped and set up camp on the spot.
Looking at the northern army setting up camp on the spot, King Huai'an was stunned for a moment.
He was a little confused, as Jiang Chen could obviously launch an attack immediately.
However, it was still early, but Jiang Chen did the opposite.
We set up camp right on the spot and watched the smoke rising from the kitchen.
The Northern Army has actually started cooking on the spot!
Faced with such a sudden scene, King Huai'an was a little at a loss.
But even so, Prince Huai'an did not lose his composure.
Instead, after being surprised for a moment, he decisively issued the order to be on high alert.
Just like that, the two armies that were supposed to fight as soon as they met ended up fighting.
They faced each other face to face...
After observing and confirming that the Northern Army would not launch an attack.
King Huai'an then ordered half of the five battalions of the Northern Army to stand guard.
He turned around and went back to his tent to rest.
After nightfall, Ye Ziming, the commander of the Deficit Camp, did not fall asleep.
I saw Ye Ziming, wearing armor, in his tent.
He had a long conversation with his two deputy generals on his left and right.
"Commander, how should we choose?"
"Now, given the current situation, we should prepare early."
"If you ask me, Commander, we might as well surrender to Lord Dingbei Marquis."
After thinking for a while, Wang Weiyi, the left deputy general of the Deficit Camp, said to Ye Ziming.
After hearing what Wang Weiyi said, Ye Ziming couldn't help but frown.
He was in deep hesitation about Wang Weiyi's suggestion.
If we were to talk about his true inner thoughts, he would definitely prefer to join Jiang Chen's army.
But at the same time, he was worried that Jiang Chen would be hurt by his previous betrayal.
Therefore, he refused to believe that he would truly choose to surrender to the North.
With this thought in mind, Ye Ziming began to hesitate for a moment.
Seeing Ye Ziming frowning, the right deputy general Du Yuanji took the opportunity to persuade him.
"Commander, please don't hesitate!"
"Think about the power of Lord Dingbei now, and how he treated us before."
As Du Yuanji spoke, he helped Ye Ziming recall.
Back then, Jiang Chen was the commander of the Qing Camp and served under He Jin together with them.
Jiang Chen would send them some fine wine, delicious food, and money from time to time.
But ever since Yu Anmin ascended the throne, they haven't made any money for a long time!
In addition, Yu Anmin also specially set up an organization called "Inspection Department".
Thoroughly investigate all officials and monitor senior generals at all levels.
Once someone is found to be corrupt or accepting bribes, he or she will be dealt with immediately.
This caused many people in the five camps of the Northern Army to complain about the new emperor of Xia.
After being persuaded by Wang Weiyi and Du Yuanji, Ye Ziming finally made a decision.
"Okay, no need to say any more."
"This commander has made the decision. Pass the order down."
"When the war officially begins tomorrow, all the soldiers of my Deficit Battalion will be here."
"Once we find an opportunity, we will cooperate with Marquis Dingbei to defeat the other four camps!"
Seeing that Ye Ziming had made his choice, Wang Weiyi and Du Yuanji said nothing more.
They all stood up and bowed to Ye Ziming and answered.
"I obey your orders, General!"
After a night, Jiang Chen put on a set of black armor early.
He brought with him Prime Minister Huo and his 10,000 cavalrymen from the Shenshu Camp.
And 40,000 infantrymen of the Tian Ce Camp slowly left the northern army camp.
Then, he rode his warhorse to the fortifications where the army of King Huai'an was stationed.
Looking at the Huai'an King's army that was ready for battle, Jiang Chen rode out on his horse.
Jiang Chen, holding a spear, came to the fortifications of Prince Huai'an's army with his four personal guards.
After reining in the warhorse under his crotch, Jiang Chen shouted loudly to the King of Huai'an inside.
"Brother King Huai'an, please come out with your army!"
"We have been apart for a long time. Today , let us finally put an end to this!"
As soon as Jiang Chen finished speaking, King Huai'an slowly walked out with the five commanders of the five battalions of the Northern Army.
Looking at Jiang Chen and his elite soldiers, King Huai'an couldn't help but shook his head helplessly.
