Although the Hujie Forbidden Army that had taken down Fengwu Army Wankang and Pingrong County now had to stop and recuperate, according to the news obtained by the Coordination Office in Jinyang, the 30,000 Shenwu forces in Jinyang during this period The army has a lot of mobilization...
There were six forbidden armies in the Zhou Dynasty, namely Shenwu, Longxiang, Tieqi, Hujie, Xuanwu, and Yulin.
According to the tradition of the Forbidden Army, Yu Lin is responsible for the palace guard and palace honor guard, and basically does not participate in direct combat. Among the remaining five Forbidden Army, Longxiang and Tieqi are cavalry units. During the heyday of the Zhou Dynasty, these The two cavalry together numbered 50,000 people, and they were able to look down on all directions as the Zhou Dynasty rampaged across the Mobei and Western Regions.
The Xuanwu, Hujie, and Shenwu branches are infantry armies. Shangguan Hongyuan, who has been in power in recent years, is from the Shenwu Army, so he obviously trusts the army where he started, so he also broke the tradition and carried out the Forbidden Army. Partial reorganization and reorganization, some of the elite cavalry of the Iron Cavalry and Longxiang were transferred to the Shenwu Army and transferred to the command of his absolute confidant.
Although the Great Zhou Dynasty had already shown signs of national decline before the Luo'an Incident, and some local vassal towns rebelled, the imperial court was still able to control the situation from the local level due to Shangguan Hongyuan's personal prestige and the force of the 200,000 forbidden troops. The money was collected and used to support the operation of the imperial court and support the two hundred thousand imperial army.
The outbreak of the Luo'an Incident was undoubtedly a major blow to the credibility of Shangguan Hongyuan and the Zhou Dynasty. The world officially entered troubled times, although Shangguan Hongyuan finally pacified the southern inspection court of Sichuan and Shu and welcomed back the little emperor. Jiang Rui once again coerced the emperor to order the princes, but this incident had an irreversible impact on the credibility of the Zhou court.
The main manifestation of this is that Shangguan Hongyuan can no longer collect taxes from various provinces in the name of the imperial court... ····
Although the local princes represented by Ye Mingsheng and Xu Zhaojie nominally still carried the banner of the Great Zhou Dynasty and did not publicly declare themselves kings and emperors to betray the Great Zhou Dynasty, they had actually become local emperors and held all the power of life and death in their respective territories. !
Under such circumstances, the Great Zhou Forbidden Army, which had relied on the entire world to support it, could not restore its former glory. Among them, the Iron Cavalry and Long Xiang made significant contributions to Shangguan Hongyuan when they attacked Sichuan and Shu. , the cavalry troops who made heavy sacrifices were in the most difficult situation.
Shangguan Hongyuan, who could no longer collect money from the world, no longer had the ability to replenish the Longxiang cavalry with new cavalry, so in desperation, although Shangguan Hongyuan still retained the numbers of these two cavalry, he actually transferred the two cavalry. A cavalry force was formed, and the remaining cavalry was divided up.
Shangguan Hongyuan took Long Xiang, the most elite cavalry of the Iron Cavalry, under the command of the Shenwu Army. As for the remaining cavalry, they were assigned to Ma Chongyang's Xuanwu Forbidden Army and Tang Peng's Hujie Forbidden Army. This move also gave way to the infantry. It is a traditional Shenwu army that can muster more than 10,000 cavalry troops.
As the direct line unit with the best equipment, the best treatment, and the most trust from Shangguan Hongyuan in the Forbidden Army, the Shenwu Army has a total strength of 60,000 people. Although Shangguan Hongyuan has tried his best in this battle of Yunbin, for the sake of the stability of the rear , he still left 30,000 Shenwu troops for his only son Shangguan Changgong, who was guarding the rear, but he brought all 10,000 Shenwu army cavalry to the Yunbin battlefield... ············
In the previous battles, although the progress of the Luo'an Forbidden Army was not as expected and satisfactory, Shangguan Hongyuan and his 30,000 Shenwu Army always sat firmly on the Diaoyutai in Jinyang without any sign of supporting the front line.
Although they kept quiet, He Jingyun, who was in charge of the Fengwu Army and the battlefield, did not dare to underestimate the Shenwu Army at all. He was always a man in the command and coordination department, secretly watching the Shenwu Army in Jinyang, wary of their every move.
After learning that the Shenwu Army had been frequently mobilized, He Jingyun also realized that after completely conquering the Fengwu Army's outer counties on the southern line in central Shanxi, Shangguan Hongyuan was finally going to attack with all its strength.
In order to avoid being completely divided and surrounded by the Luo'an Forbidden Army, He Jingyun immediately ordered Guo Zhiping's Third Army and infantry to stay on the east bank of the Sanchuan River to block Wang Muzhiliang's army from crossing the river, while the cavalry units of the Third Army were to connect with the northern line. of the Eighth Division.
So far, under the command of Xun Ke, the newly formed Eighth Division has been attacked by tens of thousands of Xuanwu Forbidden Army. Although it is still firmly holding on to the two counties of Lingyuan and Pingyun, the casualties of the Eighth Division are also very high. It was so big that it was no longer possible to break out from the Xuanwu Forbidden Army.
In order to prevent the 8th Division from being completely annihilated, He Jingyun could only arrange for Guo Zhiping to take the cavalry to try to open a hole under the Xuanwu Army's blockade, and rescue the remnants of the 8th Division under Xunke's command, and wait until the 8th Division was captured. Come out, and together with the Fengwu Army blocking the east bank of the Sanchuan River, they will withdraw to Jinzhong...
As a result, the Fengwu Army will abandon all county positions outside Jinzhong City and shrink in Jinzhong with all its strength. This means that the Battle of Yunbin will enter the final city battle!
It must be said that He Jingyun was still very thoughtful and courageous. He took the initiative to abandon the two counties of Lingyuan and Pingyun, shrinking his troops and returning to the city of Jinzhong.
If he is allowed to complete this plan, there will be more than 60,000 Fengwu troops in Jinzhong City. With the current casualties and material consumption of the Luo'an Forbidden Army, it is almost impossible for Shangguan Hongyuan to capture Jinzhong in a short time. Yes, and with the current human and financial resources of the Luo'an court, they cannot support a long-term fierce battle of 200,000 troops outside!
The content of the battle report ends here, but Ye Mingsheng knows very well that Shangguan Hongyuan will never sit idly by. He Jingyun completes the strategic contraction in Jinzhong, and then goes to eat a Jinzhong with 60,000 people defending the city. He will definitely stop He Jingyun. plan.
In this case, the question arises, what will Shangguan Hongyuan do with his 30,000 divine warriors?
In Ye Mingsheng's opinion, Shangguan Hongyuan has two choices!
The first option is to lead the Shenwu Army directly from the southern line that has been controlled, and rush hundreds of miles directly to the Jinzhong City, giving the Fengwu Army a center to bloom. In this way, even if Guo Zhiping fishes out the Eighth Division , will also be blocked at the foot of Jinzhong City. When the time comes, the Luo'an Forbidden Army will be victorious on the outside, and the Xuanwu Army will follow up to encircle and suppress them. Then the Fengwu Army's troops and horses on the outside of Jinzhong will probably be accounted for... ·······················
If you do this, you will gain a lot. If you do this, it will really be a battle to determine the outcome. Even if He Jingyun is a god, he will not be able to defend the city with less than 20,000 soldiers and horses in Jinzhong. Shangguan Hongyuan who takes Jinzhong will completely change Yun Bing's situation. situation!
However, the risk of doing so is also very high. Before the two forbidden armies of Xuanwu and Hujie can catch up, the 30,000 Shenwu Army blocking Jinzhong City will be attacked from both sides by the Fengwu Army inside and outside the city! If you are not careful, not only will you not be able to win, but you will be defeated at the foot of Jinzhong City!
To tell the truth, what Ye Mingsheng would have done if Shangguan Hongyuan were twenty years younger, given his arrogant character, but now he only laments that beauties grow old and heroes grow old, and Shangguan Hongyuan, who is over sixty years old, probably doesn't have the courage!
Rather than playing with the center, Ye Mingsheng believed that Shangguan Hongyuan would lead his troops to the northern front and have a chance to meet Guo Zhiping, who was going to rescue the Eighth Division. Although this move was a bit more stable, if it could defeat Guo Zhiping's troops, , then even if the Fengwu Army troops outside Jinzhong City cannot be completely annihilated, they can still defeat most of the vocal forces, which will be very useful for the next possible offensive in Jinzhong!
However, this method has a fatal flaw, that is, the distance from Jinyang to Pingyun and Lingyuan is about a hundred miles longer than the distance from the east bank of the Sanchuan River to Pingyun and Lingyuan, and currently Under He Jingyun's order, Guo Zhiping took the lead to rescue the Eighth Division.
The terrain around Pingyun and Lingyuan is dominated by plains. Under such terrain, it is difficult for the Xuanwu Forbidden Army to block the cavalry attack of the Third Division. This means that even if the Shenwu Army rushes desperately, by the time they catch up, By the time they arrived at the place, Guo Zhiping, Xun Ke and the others had probably already escaped...
After understanding this, Ye Mingsheng is still optimistic about the current situation in Yunbin. As long as there are no major changes in Yunbin, based on the logistics supply situation of the Luo'an Forbidden Army, it will only take ten days to half a month to maintain the current offensive. Time, and after resting, they will lead the Ninth Division northward, and then they can conquer the lost ground step by step.
Thinking of this, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but shook his head slightly. Because Ji Yu defeated Xu Zhaojie more smoothly than expected, Ye Mingsheng also had more expectations for Yun Bing's battle situation, wondering whether he could regain the lost ground on the basis of Go up and see if there is a chance to win over Jinyang and unify Yunbin!
However, judging from the current battle reports, the consumption of the Luoan Forbidden Army is very high. The two armies of the Fengwu Army in Yunbin suffered a lot of casualties. The soldiers are generally very tired, and the finances of the Fengwu Army are beginning to become more and more tight. The Finance Secretary Bian has also begun to ask for a three-month moratorium or installment of soldiers' pensions.
Therefore, as far as the actual situation is concerned, it would be good to recapture the five counties captured by Shangguan Hongyuan...

The sounds of children reading could be heard in An Miaoyi's yard. Although their voices were very childish, they were reading very smoothly.

Seeing that little Jingren, who was less than two years old, could already read "Hundred Family Surnames" relatively smoothly, An Miaoyi, who felt that her efforts were not in vain, also had a happy smile on her face, and she quickly picked up the porcelain plate from a plate. He took a few small candy cubes and handed them to Xiao Jingren. Then, while touching Xiao Jingren's head, he said carefully:
"Jingren, you have been working very hard during this period and have done well in reading. These few pieces of candy can be regarded as a reward for you. However, your father said that eating too much candy will cause tooth decay, so you have to promise your mother that these You only eat one piece of candy a day, can you do that?"
Taking the candy bar from An Miaoyi's hand, little Jingren's eyes showed a little surprise. However, when he heard An Miaoyi said that he could only eat one piece a day, the little guy immediately pouted his mouth and his chubby face. Just the word "unwilling" is written on his face.
Seeing this, An Miaoyi also smiled and pointed to the other candies in the plate and said:
"Jingren, if you can only eat one piece of candy a day, you will be a good boy and a good baby of your mother, and your mother will return the candy to you. If you cannot do this, you will be a bad baby. Mom won’t give you candy anymore!”
"So Jingren, are you going to be a good baby or a bad baby?"
Listening to An Miaoyi's words, Xiao Jingren raised his little head and thought seriously for a while, and then, under the temptation of more candy and the title of good boy, he said in a sweet voice:
"Jingren needs to be a good boy..."
An Miaoyi smiled with satisfaction when she heard this, then raised her little finger and said to Jingren:
"Then let's hook up with my mother!"
Jingren also raised his little finger obediently, and while hooking up with An Miaoyi, he said in a milky voice;
"Pull the hook! Pull the hook! Don't change for a hundred years!"
After pulling Gou An Miaoyi, she touched Xiao Jingren's head and warned her carefully:
"Jing Ren is so good! Now take a rest for a while, and then go read the Three Character Sutra. Try to memorize the Three Character Sutra before your father comes back. Give your father a big surprise and let your father know that you are better than your brothers! "
Little Jingren, who was less than two years old, couldn't understand An Miaoyi's thoughts, so he could only nod along with some understanding. At this moment, Qiqige came to An Miaoyi's side.
Qiqige's appearance also made An Miaoyi realize that something important had happened!
An Miaoyi immediately asked the mammy and maid to take care of Xiao Jingren, and then she and Qiqige went to the unattended side room.
"Madam, Nanny Liu just sent the news that Murong Yuliang was assassinated in Dazhang Town, not far from Yujing!"
As soon as these words came out, even An Miaoyi's calm expression could not help but show a hint of shock. This Murong Yuliang was the absolute core minister in the Fengwu Army, and also the Guanzhong behind the Fengwu Army, the Murong family, and the Murong family. The group's connection link, so his assassination is definitely a major political event! It may even trigger a power earthquake within the Fengwu Army!
After thinking for a while, An Miaoyi asked the key to the matter!
"Is Murong Yuliang dead?···························"
