Chapter 1050: Wang Mang insults Su Lie
There are eight levels of military generals in the world today. From weak to strong, they are: unqualified, third-rate, second-rate, first-rate, super-first rate, divine general, **** of war, and the best general in the world.
These things naturally didn’t exist before, but why are they so popular now? Wang Mang could guess with his toes that it must have been Qin Hao.
At the beginning, Wang Mang also complained, thinking that Qin Hao must have read too many online novels, and he was still engaged in military force classification in the late Han Dynasty. However, he later discovered that through these eight levels, the strength of generals can be more clearly distinguished.
After a simple test, Wang Mang also roughly knew the level of his generals. There was only one God of War general, Ju Wuba, but there were five **** generals, namely: Liang Lin, Liang Fang, Wang Li, and Wang Xian. , Wang Gangchang, Su Xian, Ai Zhang and Wang Lin are all superb generals.
Wang Mang was naturally ecstatic about this. Although this lineup could not be compared with Qin Hao, it was already considered very strong among the princes.
You must know that even Liu Xiu does not have a **** of war under his command, and the strongest general among the four princes in Bingnan is only the superb Wang Renze.
Wang Mang had a war **** and five divine generals when he started his career. Even Qin Hao probably didn't have this kind of treatment at the beginning.
This even made Wang Mang suspect for a time that he was the son of luck in this world, but the battle with Zhao Yun made him burst into tears.
In just one battle, Wang Mang lost one divine general and two superb generals, for a total of three generals. This simply made Wang Mang feel his heart bleed.
Wang Mang regrets very much now. If he had known better, he would not have sent Jugu Ba to Chen Qingzhi, or he would have sent out the stronger Liang Lin and Liang Fang. Unfortunately, it was already too late.
Zhao Yun really gave Wang Mang a psychological shadow. Although Wang Mang still has Liang Lin and Liang Fang under his command, the Qin army also has Huang Zhong and Luo Cheng. Qin Hao has really many powerful generals under his command. Zhao Yun, the king of singles in the Three Kingdoms, is only ranked in the second level. There are many people who are stronger than Zhao Yun, such as Li Cunxiao and Jiang Song. Therefore, Qin Hao can't lose much, but Wang Meng can't. It is absolutely unaffordable to lose.
Therefore, Wang Mang did not dare to fight the Qin army until he was completely sure.
“Fighting General?”
Wang Mang pondered for a while, then shook his head and said: "This method is inappropriate. Qin's generals are brave, and our army is better off fighting against them. If they win, it would be better. If they lose, wouldn't it make things worse? It's inappropriate, it's inappropriate."
Chen Baxian couldn't help but look surprised. He felt that the other generals under Wang Mang's command were no weaker than Zhao Yun and others, so he proposed a battle of generals. He didn't expect Wang Mang to have strong generals but also wanted to hide his strength.
Liang Lin, the fifth-ranked Flying Tiger Commander at the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty, showed an unhappy expression and said solemnly: "General, why should you boost the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige?"
Wang Mang was still under Wang Shichong at this time, and although Liang Lin and other generals were all Wang Mang's generals, they were not directly called lords, but generals.
Liang Lin immediately stood up, clasped his fists and said: "General, please go and challenge Zhao Yun. If you don't win, please behead my head."
Wang Mang frowned slightly, then smiled and said: "If you can't fight against Xiao Dao'er, what will happen even if you kill Zhao Yun? If you want to break the city, you still need to rely on the army..."
"Can…"
Before Liang Lin could finish his words, he was immediately interrupted by Wang Mang, who waved his hand and said impatiently: "Okay, I have decided that this battle must be fought wisely."
Seeing this, Liang Lin could only sigh and retreat.
Seeing this, Wang Mang continued: "The casualties caused by the storming of Chaoge are too great, and the coalition forces cannot bear it. The Qin army in the city must be led out of the city to fight."
“But Su Dingfang has made it clear that he will not defend himself at all.” Chen Baxian said. "This is indeed a bit troublesome..."
Wang Mang's brain began to think quickly, trying to get reference from the many battle examples in his memory. Soon a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, and then he sneered: "In that case, force Su Lie to come out."

In Chaoge City.
Su Dingfang sat on the main seat, with a dangerous look in his eyes, and said in a cold voice: "This Wang Mang is really not simple. In such a short period of time, his commanding ability has been improved to this extent. This son must be the first unified commander of our army." The state’s biggest obstacle.”
From the first time Su Dingfang saw Wang Mang's formation, he knew that Wang Mang was a nerd who was on the battlefield for the first time, so Su Dingfang naturally did not take Wang Mang seriously.
Su Dingfang guessed the beginning correctly. At the beginning, he indeed played Wang Mang under applause. He almost defeated Wang Mang's 90,000 troops with an army of 30,000.
But later, Wang Mang seemed to have an enlightenment, and he became more and more sophisticated in deploying troops, which made Su Dingfang feel like he had nowhere to start.
If equal forces faced each other, Su Dingfang was confident that he could defeat the enemy in one battle. However, the enemy's strength was three times that of his own. With such inferior strength, Su Dingfang would not be able to defeat Wang Mang for a while, so he had no choice but to temporarily retreat to the court. Song looks for another opportunity to fight.
Hearing Su Dingfang's comments about Wang Mang, Fang Xuanling, as a military advisor, couldn't help laughing and said: "General Su, among the hundred civil and military arts, only the art of war is the only one. There are no shortcuts. If you want to improve, you must rely on it." It just takes accumulation over time.”
"yes."
Su Dingfang immediately showed a look of astonishment and said in a deep voice: "The military styles of Wang Mang before and after Wang Mang are completely different. There must be someone else taking command on his behalf.
Let me just say, the art of war is not martial arts, how could it progress so fast? "
"But for our army, this doesn't make much difference."
Fang Xuanling sighed and said to Su Dingfang with a serious face: "General Su, Wang Mang has experts to help him, so our army must be more cautious when taking over the next two troops."
“Yeah.” Su Dingfang also nodded.
“Report to General, Wang Mangxian envoy sent a gift.”
After the soldiers finished reporting, the messenger came in holding the gift box.
Seeing this, Su Dingfang couldn't help but sneer and mock: "This Wang Mang is not very good at fighting. He has a lot of clever ideas, but this is in line with his style."
Su Dingfang's sarcastic words made all the generals of the Qin army laugh, and then Su Dingfang said: "I want to see what kind of conspiracy Wang Mang is up to. Come and open it in public."
After the guard opened the wooden box that the envoy was holding, he saw that it contained a set of pink women's clothes. At this moment, the faces of all the generals became extremely ugly.
But at this time, the envoy took out the letter written by Wang Mang himself, and read it aloud with a look of resignation: "Brother Dingfang is a general and leads the people in Hanoi. Males and females are willing to cling to their earthen nests to avoid swords and arrows. How are they any different from women? I offer you a piece of clothing to help my brother keep out the cold. Don't say thank you."
For a while, the hall became extremely silent.
