Yijing, Nancheng
In a certain room in Yunfu Inn, a young attendant was complaining very dissatisfiedly:
"Commander Ye of the Fengwu Army is too arrogant. Master, you have been here for seven days and you haven't even seen him..." ········”
Listening to the complaints from his entourage, Sun Jing'an shook his head and ordered:
"This is Yijing. Be careful, the walls have ears. Stop talking!"
In response to Sun Jing'an's instructions, the attendant nodded quickly, but still said unwillingly:
"Fortunately, our master is a scholar and well-educated. If it had been any Marshal Yin, I'm afraid this house would be demolished by you!"
Sun Jing'an burst out laughing when he heard this. Although Yin Biao is a reckless man and behaves rudely, it does not mean that he is a fool. With people like this under the roof now, even if he were here, he would not act rashly Act!
But why has Ye Mingsheng not seen him for so long?
Yin Biao and Sun Jing'an planned this raid for a long time. They were very confident and determined to win. They thought that before the Fengwu army could react, they would defeat Han Wenbao's troops in one battle and give the Fengwu army a living. Cook the rice, and then when the time comes, Yin Biao will say a few soft words to Fengwu Army, send some gold and silver beauties to Ye Mingsheng to please him, and half-assedly let Fengwu Army recognize his territory in Qilu!
However, what Yin Biao didn't expect was that Han Wenbao had already learned about his very proud raid and ambush him, causing him to lose thousands of troops. Although he later relied on his strong strength to defeat Han Wenbao. Those who fought could only huddle in Bozhou City, but his own casualties still made Yin Biao unable to attack the city.
Today's situation really makes Sun Jing'an angry and helpless. He really doesn't understand how Han Wenbao got hold of their action plan... ···
He and Han Wenbao have known each other for decades and have been dealing with each other for many years. He absolutely does not believe that Han Wenbao has this ability!
So Sun Jing'an suspected that someone was playing dirty tricks secretly. After knowing his plan of action, he secretly told Han Wenbao!
As for this person who was playing dirty tricks, Sun Jing'an also had two suspects!
The first one is Xu Zhaojie, the commander-in-chief of Anqing and Huainan!
First of all, Xu Zhaojie secretly supported Han Wenbao and sent money, food and weapons to Han Wenbao through waterways. Because of this matter, Yin Biao also refused Xu Zhaojie's solicitation and scolded Xu Zhaojie's envoy. Therefore, Xu Zhaojie had every reason to do this to retaliate against him!
And this second one is Ye Mingsheng of Fengwu Army!
Ye Mingsheng is a man of great talent and ambition, and he has great ambitions to unify the north. Although he has not sent troops to take control of Qilu, he has provided firearms to himself and Han Wenbao, and encouraged the two to fight. There is no doubt that he is also fighting. The idea is that the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole follows behind.
If Yin Biao really killed Han Wenbao, it would definitely not be in line with his plan. This is why Yin Biao wanted to hide the action from Fengwu Army.
So from this point of view, Ye Mingsheng also has the motive to stab Yin Biao in the back!
In addition, Ye Mingsheng's eagle dogs have been secretly bribing Qilu generals and officials. Although Yin Biao also intentionally blocked the news and acted secretly, it is also very difficult to hide from the eagle dogs raised by Ye Mingsheng... ················
Although I don't know whether Xu Zhaojie or Ye Mingsheng did this, it is no longer important now. The only important thing now is that the Fengwu Army is holding their lives!
In order to be able to kill Han Wenbao with one blow, Yin Biao led the Qi army out. Only 3,000 troops and more than 2,000 city defense officers were left in his hometown of Licheng. With the failure of quickly killing Han Wenbao, , Yin Biao led his troops to attack Licheng to no avail, and the problem of Licheng's emptiness was also exposed.
Fengqiu, where the Fengwu Army is heavily stationed, is only more than 370 miles away from Licheng, which means that as long as the Fengwu Army is willing, they can capture Licheng before Yin Biao returns to the army.
Sun Jing'an and Yin Biao were both afraid of this, but considering that if they let Han Wenbao go, they didn't know how long it would take to clean up this piece of shit. At the moment, Fengwu Army had not expressed its position, so the two of them carefully In summary, they also have illusions and hope to get the support of Fengwu Army.
However, several envoys were turned away by the Fengwu Army. Sun Jing'an, who was Qilu's chief envoy, had no choice but to put down his political duties in Qilu and serve as an envoy to visit Yijing in person.
Things went smoothly at first. Through his personal relationship with Su Yi, Sun Jing'an met Gu Sansi, an important minister of the Fengwu Army. During the conversation with Gu Sansi, Sun Jing'an also successfully convinced Gu Sansi, and Gu Sansi agreed. He introduced him to Ye Mingsheng·····························
Just when Sun Jing'an was overjoyed that things were going smoothly, and imagined how to use his sharp tongue to persuade Ye Mingsheng to support Yin Biao, what Sun Jing'an didn't expect was that things got stuck here in the end, and Ye Mingsheng Although he agreed to meet him, he has yet to set a date to meet him. For seven days in a row, he just waited for news in this small courtyard!
During this period, Sun Jing'an also tried to get some information from Gu Sansi and Su Yi. However, to his disappointment, Su Yi had been sent as an envoy to Jiangnan, while Gu Sansi had a lot of official business to deal with and had no time to see him.
Sun Jing'an, who had not seen anyone, could only helplessly return to the yard, secretly trying to figure out Ye Mingsheng's thoughts!
He has been in Yi Jing for seven days. It has been more than half a month since he came from Licheng. During this period, he rarely heard about the changes in the Qilu war situation, and he was very concerned about it. Yin Biao failed to capture Bozhou.
Thinking of this, Sun Jing'an was heartbroken, and he also made up his mind to wait for Ye Mingsheng for three days. If Ye Mingsheng didn't summon him within three days, he would take the initiative to go to the Governor's Mansion to find Ye Mingsheng. He must meet Qilu tomorrow. Go to Ye Mingsheng and convince this person who is rumored to be an eagle and a wolf!
Sun Jing'an, who had made up his mind, also had a determined light flashing in his eyes. At this moment, someone walked into his door, and then a familiar figure came to him.
"Xue Wu, you are not with the commander, why are you here?" Looking at the person in front of him, Sun Jing'an asked subconsciously:
Facing Sun Jing'an's question, Xue Wu, who was Yin Biao's personal attendant, whispered in Sun Jing'an's ear. When he heard what Xue Wu said, Sun Jing'an's eyes immediately flashed with surprise... ··········
····························
····························
Fengqiu, in the Fengwu military camp
Listening to what Ye Zhen, the Coordinator of Hundred Households in front of him, said, Yuan Song showed a little surprise on his face, and then he asked in surprise:
"You said Xu Zhaojie is in Chengfeng County?"
Ye Zhen nodded and said:
"General Yuan, yes, our General Coordination Office has received accurate information. Xu Zhaojie is now in the Zhennan Army Camp in Chengfeng County. After the enemy troops transferred from Xuancheng are in place, Xu Zhaojie will most likely send his troops north to attack Jiyu attacks!"
"As for the specific combat plan of the Zhennan Army, our Coordination Office is still collecting further information. It is currently estimated that General Yuan and your department will be asked to prepare for the battle in five days!"
Yuan Song smiled and nodded when he heard this and said:
"Yuan understands, brothers from the Coordination Office, thank you for your hard work!"
Ye Zhen bowed to Yuan Song and congratulated:
"I wish General Yuan and the brothers of the First Army that they can win this battle and defeat the enemy!"
Yuan Song smiled and nodded:
"I accept your good words!"
After delivering the information, Ye Zhen said goodbye and left. He had made great contributions in the First Battle of Hebei and Yu. He was now the 14th member of the Coordination Office and was responsible for receiving information from Anqing. Therefore, at this time when the war clouds are thick, He also has a lot of work to do...
After Ye Zhen left, Yuan Song walked to the sand table in the camp and silently watched the evolution of the situation between the enemy and ourselves in the sand table.
If the information provided by the Coordination Office is correct, then the total local military strength in Anqing is probably around 50,000. The number of troops Xu Zhaojie can use to launch an offensive against Hebei and Yu will not exceed 40,000. After all, Anqing also needs it. It is also appropriate to have ten thousand soldiers and horses guarding the house.
It seems that even if Xu Zhaojie launches an offensive, he will not attack Fengqiu directly. After all, he only has the troops at hand and lacks enough artillery and heavy weapons. When the gap in strength is not large, he will attack Fengqiu. It's like looking for death!
Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in Yuan Song's eyes. If he had predicted correctly, Xu Zhaojie's main focus in sending troops to Hebei and Henan this time was to target the Fengwu Army's weakness in Hebei and Henan, and focus on attacking towns and rural areas with particularly strong forces. His purpose was to harass and influence the reforms carried out by the Fengwu Army in Hebei and Henan.
A few months ago, Ye Mingsheng heard another thought. Hebei and Henan, the most populous province in the Zhou Dynasty, had begun a vigorous reform action. The main measures were vigorously anti-corruption, crackdown on gangs and evil, land redemption, and work-for-work. relief, public-private partnerships, strengthening industry supervision, etc.
Under the Fengwu Army's series of decrees and strong execution, Jiyu wiped out the long-standing abuses and showed a prosperous scene. However, because of the reforms implemented by the Fengwu Army, some conspirators who were unwilling to fail also tried to use the mantis's hand to control the cart... ···················
In order to break these people's conspiracy fantasies and ensure that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, the First Army of the Fengwu Army stationed in Hebei, under the order of Ye Mingsheng, dispatched tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to quickly suppress the rebellion with the force of thunder sweeping away fallen leaves!
Although the riots in various places have been reduced a lot compared to when the reform was first implemented, corrupt officials have gradually given up on squeezing the people and have wisely chosen to hand over their power. Cooperate with Fengwu Army.
However, there were still some people who did not understand the situation and were stubborn. This also led to the Sixth Division's more than 20,000 troops, of which more than 10,000 were guarding Yujing. The remaining troops were suppressed in Jiyu under the leadership of General Gu Shouting. Resistance riots occurred everywhere,
The 25,000-strong First Division was personally led by Yuan Song and stationed in Fengqiu to defend the Zhennan Army. In order to prevent them from being defeated by the Zhennan Army one by one, Yuan Song did not divide the limited troops in his hands evenly and stationed them in Fengqiu. Among the towns and counties surrounding Qiu.
Instead, he concentrated the main force of 20,000 troops in Fengqiu and stationed the remaining 5,000 troops in various towns and counties. Therefore, if Xu Zhaojie really targeted the towns and counties, it would not be particularly easy to defend. !
Looking at Yuan Song with a serious expression and furrowed brows, the first division general Ma Zhongjun asked straightforwardly:
"General, are you worried about that Xu Zhaojie?"
Facing Ma Zhongjun's inquiry, Yuan Song did not hide it but nodded very frankly...
Seeing this, Ma Zhongjun said slightly unconcernedly when he heard the words:
"General Guo's Third Division fought against Xu Zhaojie here last year. In the end, it was defeated by General Guo. What the Third Army can do, our First Army can not only do, but can do better than them." !”
Seeing this, Yuan Song frowned slightly and warned:
"Xu Zhaojie was a famous general at that time. He had made great achievements on the battlefield for more than ten years with almost no defeat. We must not underestimate him in this fight!"
Feeling Yuan Song's warning, the confident Ma Zhongjun's face suddenly stiffened, and then he gradually calmed down the arrogance in his expression, and nodded in Yuan Song's sight to indicate that he understood.
After giving Ma Zhongjun a lesson, Yuan Song asked loudly:
"Where is the messenger?"
Under Yuan Song's inquiry, a sturdy soldier walked into the camp and bowed and said:
"Sir General, the messenger is here!"
After hearing this, Yuan Song immediately issued an order:
"Tell Xia Yunsheng of the cavalry battalion to gather his troops now and set off to attack Huai'en County in Anqing tomorrow morning! If the enemy's encirclement and suppression is not tight, they can fight all the way to Anqing City along the roads of Huai'en County and Huaiyuan County!"
"In a word, he can do things cheaply. I don't ask him to kill many enemies and capture the town of Anqing, but I want him to make the noise as loud as possible, give full play to the mobility and flexibility of their cavalry, and don't get entangled with the opponent. Fast forward Come out quickly and turn Anqing into a pot of porridge!"
"I obey!"
After the messenger left, Ma Zhongjun looked at Yuan Song expectantly, but Yuan Song in his sight turned a deaf ear to his gaze, and even leisurely picked up the teacup and drank tea... ·················
Seeing this, Ma Zhongjun couldn't help but asked:
"General, the cavalry has a combat mission, but what about our first division? Where should we fight?"
(I took a day off yesterday, and Tongming is deeply ashamed. If there are no special circumstances this month, I will not take leave. In addition, I also hope that some people will give up and not insist on going their own way, so that the world can be peaceful and stable without war!)
