Zhao Yanting's reputation is not very good. Liu Zhixing once criticized Zhao Yanting in public for being a traitor.
He now wrote to Wu Nian, saying that Wei Ru's actions were inappropriate and would ruin the great event.
How is this going?
Are these the captains who are confronting the Mongolians at the front? Are they at odds with each other? Zhao Yanting was doing something strange and was discovered by Wei Ru.
And then bite Wei Ru back?
Or did Wei Ru really do something inappropriate? This aroused Zhao Yanting's disgust.
People with status and status around Wu Nian all became suspicious in their hearts. Their eyes were all focused on the package in the hand of the person who came to report.
Guesses are just guesses. It's not too late to make a judgment after taking a look at what Zhao Yanting said.
Wu Nian was also suspicious and frowned. A soldier stepped forward and took the package from the stranger's hand. After opening it, he took out a wooden box and handed it to Wu Nian.
Wu Nian reached out and took the wooden box, opened it, took out a piece of silk and read the ten lines at a glance. His expression changed slightly, and he ordered again: "Retreat immediately and return to Ling County."
People around were curious about what happened, but since Wu Nian didn't say anything, they didn't ask.
The tens of thousands of Wu Nian's troops retreated to the north like a tide. After arriving at Ling County, Wu Nian asked Zhang Jin to stay and guard Ling County to prevent the Chu army from Shanhaiguan from coming out and competing with him for Nanhai Mansion. He led the horse infantry to the north.
The junction of Huanglong Mansion and Nanhai Mansion is also the place where Chunyuan and Wei Ru confront each other.
nonstop.
...........
The front line of confrontation between Wei Ru and Chunyuan.
Chunyuan took an offensive stance, while Wei Ru, on the contrary, strengthened his defense with deep ditches and high bases, and did not blindly engage Chunyuan.
The war goals of both sides are clear.
Chunyuan wanted to save Wang Zhongbi so that Wu Nian could not get Nanhai Mansion. Wei Ru prevented Chunyuan from going south, allowing Wu Nian to successfully obtain Nanhai Mansion.
The Wei side had a disadvantage in terms of military strength, but had an advantage in fortifications. Chun Yuan led his troops to attack Wei Ru several times, but they all ended in failure, with heavy casualties on both sides.
noon.
Inside the Chunyuan camp. The soldiers who had just eaten had nothing to do and hid in the shade, enjoying the coolness and digesting their food.
Soldiers with missions had to wear armor and carry spears. They were sweating profusely and either stood guard or patrolled.
The morale of the army is not particularly high, but it is not low either.
Inside the Chinese army's tent.
Chunyuan was wearing a black brocade robe with narrow sleeves. He was sweating from the heat and kept drinking water. Below are the ten captains of his headquarters.
"She is really a tiger girl. The Wei Ru on the opposite side reminds me of her father Wei Changqing. At that time, ten thousand households moved south. Wei Changqing of Haitian City is one of the hardest bones to crack."
Chunyuan shook his head slightly, with a look of respect on his face. Enemies like Wei Changqing are really rare. But soon, he sighed again.
A tiger girl. Although the opponent Wei Ru is a female general, her ability and force are superior to Wei Changqing's. She also has tens of thousands of enemies like Zhao Yanting to help her.
It's really difficult to deal with.
If Wei Ru's defense cannot be broken through, Wang Zhongbi will undoubtedly die.
The captains present also nodded. The respect of the enemy is earned by oneself. Even if you are a female general, as long as you are strong enough.
No one would regard a female general as a weak woman.
Wei Ru's strength was recognized and even feared by the Meng Yuan generals.
"Your Majesty, I have a plan. Maybe we can defeat Wei Ru." A captain's eyes suddenly flashed with brilliance, he stood up and said with his fists clasped.
Chun Yuan and everyone turned around and saw it was Commander Chen Keke.
Whether it is his military strength or his ability to lead troops, Chen Ke is ordinary among the captains and is usually not very eye-catching.
He suddenly stood up and offered advice, which immediately aroused everyone's interest.
"Speak freely. If you are right, you will be rewarded. If you are wrong, I won't blame you." Chunyuan's eyes lit up and he immediately expressed his stance.
"Yes." Chen Ke's face showed joy and he clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, the Wei family has lived in Haitian City for generations. When Wei Changqing defended Haitian City, half of the Wei family died."
"Wei Ru must have feelings for Haitian City in his heart."
"Now Wu Nian's ability, military strength, and influence are all very strong. She must be ready to take action. She wants to return to Haitian City and restore the glory of the Wei family. Let's find an important person who is a relative of the Wei family in Haitian City. Write Write a letter to Wei Ru, saying that you can open the city gate and welcome Wei Ru into the city."
"If Wei Ru takes a small road to Haitian City, we can block her retreat and eliminate her."
After hearing Chen Keke's plan, Chunyuan and the other captains fell into deep thought. This is not a very clever strategy.
To put it simply, it’s four words.
Lure the enemy deeper.
But being simple doesn’t mean it’s hard to use.
Chen Ke is right. Haitian City is of extremely important significance to Wei Ru and the Wei family.
Wei Ru is still a woman. Maybe my head feels hot and I fell into a trap?
The main thing is. They don't have a good way to break through Wei Ru's defense now. No matter whether it works or not, let's try it first. There will be no loss anyway.
"You can try. If it succeeds, we will bury father and daughter together. There will no longer be any generals of the Wei family in this world."
After pondering for a long time, Chunyuan nodded and said. Then he smiled at Chen Ke and said, "Well said. I will give you a tiger skin. If you really kill Wei Ru, I will give you three thousand taels of silver."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Chen Keke was overjoyed and quickly bowed down and thanked him.
All the captains looked at Chen Ke with envy. This boy had made a splash. But soon, they cheered up again.
If Wei Ru fell into the trap. That's an ambush from all sides. When the time comes to rein in the troops and fight, they can also grab some battle glory and drink some soup.
Wei Ru, the school captain under Wu Nian, has a head on his head, worth ten thousand gold.
Chunyuan quickly asked the captains to leave and found a confidant to handle the matter secretly.
.............
noon.
Haitian City. When the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty invaded, Wei Changqing led his troops to fight bloody battles here, and many soldiers and civilians in the city died.
Even though seven or eight years have passed, there are still many traces of the battles on the city wall. The soil outside the city seems to be more fertile than other places, and there is a faint smell of blood.
There is another legend in Haitian City. General Wei Changqing turned into an undead and was continuously cursing the Mengyuan people.
When the people in the city went to bed at night, more than one person dreamed of Wei Changqing's dead soul, and then woke up in a cold sweat.
Because Chunyuan disbanded the soldiers and horses of ten thousand households of the Han people, there were problems with the city defense. Chunyuan mobilized some veterans from the rear to guard the city and monitor the Han people in the city.
Not just Haitian City.
As Wu Nian's power grew, the entire Han people in Huanglong Mansion and Guangyang Mansion were ready to take action.
The contradiction between the Mongolian people and the Han people became increasingly acute.
If it weren't for the veterans guarding the city. If Chun Yuan leads an army to go on an expedition, there may be heroes from behind who will rise up and occupy the city to respond to Wu Nian.
Chunyuan's governing philosophy was to assimilate and train the Han people, so that the Han people would become the "own subjects" of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty and fight side by side with the Mongolian Yuan people.
He almost succeeded until Wu Nian stepped up and fought until now.
