"Da da da."
A group of cavalry rode along the road to Huanglong Mansion and Anding County. The cavalrymen on the horses were all strong, fierce-looking, and full of murderous aura. One of them was carrying a black package on his back.
Soon after, they arrived at Anding County. After communicating with the soldiers guarding the city, they entered the city.
In the pavilion of Prince Dai's Mansion.
Chunyuan and Liaodong Governor Qin Zhen were wearing thin clothes, sitting on stone benches, eating iced watermelon. There were two beautiful Han maidservants serving him.
In this day and age, eating ice cream in the summer is not easy.
But for people like Prince Chunyuan, it is not difficult.
While Chunyuan was eating the watermelon, he lowered his head and spit out the melon seeds, which landed on the porcelain plate and made a tinkling sound.
After vomiting, he raised his head and said to Qin Zhen with a smile: "It is really a great pleasure to have this iced watermelon in the summer."
"Yes. This summer, I feel sleepy, and everything I eat has no taste. Only this bite of iced watermelon can cheer me up."
Qin Zhen nodded with a smile, a look of relief on his face.
Both of them are important people and know that gluttony is bound to be a bad thing. Watermelon is delicious, but it needs to be eaten in moderation, otherwise it will cause stomach upset.
After they put down the melon rinds, a Han maid came in carrying a washbasin. After they washed their hands and wiped their mouths, they sat down again.
If we don’t talk about Wu Nian’s affairs.
At present, Liaodong can be said to be peaceful and peaceful.
No. Not just peace and quiet. Because of the strong suppression by the Mongolian people, the Han people performed their duties, and Liaodong became more and more prosperous.
There is also a Liaodong imperial examination this year. Scholars from Liaodong participated enthusiastically. Things went very well.
Both Chunyuan and Qin Zhen are very satisfied, and of course they are in a good mood. Eat some iced watermelon, drink some good wine, and listen to a show.
Daily life is colorful.
"Your Majesty, a letter from General Jin Huanshan." A middle-aged eunuch wearing blue clothes quickly came to the pavilion, bent down and handed the letter to Chunyuan.
"Jin Huanshan? Didn't he attack Beishan Fort with Wan Yanxian and Jin Ruiyun?" Chunyuan was a little surprised and reached out to take the envelope.
Yingqing Mansion is Jinhuan Mountain’s own jurisdiction.
Jin Huanshan, Jin Ruiyun, and Wan Yanxian acted jointly and did not need to ask him for instructions.
But this movement was so big that even Liaodong knew about it. After all, it is a joint operation of three ten thousand households. This was the first large-scale battle after 100,000 households moved south.
"It might be good news. Only after Wu Nian dies can Liaodong be truly in the hands of the prince."
Qin Zhen smiled and reached out to stroke his beard.
Three thousand households besieged Beishan Fort, could anything go wrong? Qin Zhen also felt that three thousand households gave Wu Nian too much face.
Just two is enough, too much is a waste.
"That's right. Calculating the time, it has been nearly a month since they attacked Beishan Fort. This is most likely a good news, and the heads of the thieves such as Wu Nian, Zhang Jin, and Long Qie may be behind." Chunyuan thought the same. , a smile appeared on his face.
He first carefully looked at the paint mark on the envelope, and after confirming that it was correct, he opened the envelope, took out the letter inside and read it.
Before he finished reading, his face turned ugly. After reading it, he took a deep breath and shook his head slightly.
Before Qin Zhen could ask, Chunyuan stretched out his hand and handed the letter to Qin Zhen.
"This is impossible!!!" Qin Zhen was also a very well-educated person, but after getting the letter and reading it, he suddenly stood up with a look of disbelief.
"Three thousand households besieged Beishan Fort. Not only did they not win, but three thousand captains died, two camps were lost, and their vitality was severely damaged?"
It's not that he looks down on Wu Nian, he really does. Two ten thousand households is enough, three ten thousand households is too high for Wu Nian.
But the slap in the face came so quickly.
Three thousand households laid siege to Beishan Fort, and their troops were almost destroyed to such an extent.
Qin Zhen read the letter again in disbelief, staring at the signatures of the last three generals of ten thousand households. He read it again and again, and then he believed it.
With a "touch", Qin Zhen's legs softened, he sat back on the stool, put down the letter in his hand, shook his head with a wry smile, and lost his voice.
"Using the Beishan Fort as bait, I led my troops to hide in the dark. It's very courageous. Jin Ruiyun, Jin Huanshan, and Wanyanxian are all our generals, big names with names. But they can't do anything to Wu Nian. This Wu Nian is really He is a big shot."
"If there are five Wu Nian in Liaodong generals, we will have to pack up and go back to the north."
Junyuan calmed down a little, sighed and said.
Wu Nian of Beishan Fort.
He heard this name again and again. And each time the noise was louder than the last. It’s really impossible not to pay attention even if you don’t want to.
"Your Majesty is right. This person should not be ignored. Your Majesty, please send Pugu Li over. Eliminate him. Only then can we run Liaodong with peace of mind."
Qin Zhen nodded and sighed.
"Yes. Only by eliminating him can we manage Liaodong with peace of mind. If possible, I would like to rush over there personally and besiege him with ten thousand households. But it's a pity. We have to guard against the Chu army's Shanhaiguan general, and we also have to guard against Goguryeo .”
Chunyuan smiled bitterly, shook his head, and stood up. The tactic of adding fuel to the fire is not necessary. Wu Nian must be killed in one go.
"My lord, don't worry. You don't need ten thousand households, four are enough. I don't believe that Wu Nian can turn the world upside down when being chased and intercepted by four ten thousand households."
Qin Zhen showed disbelief when he heard this, raised his head and said to Chunyuan in a tone full of confidence.
"That's right. I was besieged by four thousand households in Meng Yuan. Wei Changqing didn't even have such a card. Wu Nian was a small flag official. He can be famous throughout the ages, and he deserves to die."
Chunyuan nodded, relieved. Immediately, he asked someone to get pen, ink, paper and inkstone, write an official document, stamp it with fire paint, and quickly send it to Puguli.
Let Puguli send troops.
Four thousand households surrounded and suppressed the small banner Wu Nian.
Blow him out.
...........
Wu Nian's march was very fast. And Jin Huanshan wrote to Chunyuan.
It will take time for Chunyuan to send Pugu Li into action again.
During this period of time, Wu Nian captured another castle and absorbed some mountain people and heroes who defected to him, making his momentum even stronger.
morning.
Wu Nian was entrenched on a mountain called Wanggu. This mountain is not high, but it is very gentle. A large number of tents can be stationed to accommodate people and horses.
He arrived at this mountain yesterday and rested all night. I don't plan to move today.
After continuous marching, his troops and horses needed to rest for a few days.
On Wanggu Mountain. The tents are in a row and very untidy. From time to time, the sounds of children crying, adults scolding, and the sounds of cattle and sheep can be heard on the mountain.
There is no wall around the perimeter.
At this time, let alone four thousand households, Wan Yanxian would personally lead the troops of ten thousand households to attack. Wu Nian couldn't stand it at all.
But it wasn't that he was careless, but that spies were scattered throughout Yingqing Mansion and Guangyang Mansion.
Wu Nian knew exactly where Wan Yanxian, Jin Ruiyun, and Jin Huanshan were leading their troops. He also sent secret sentries nearby to keep on guard.
On the surface, his formation is loose, but in fact there will be no problem.
