While the fierce fighting was going on in Heyi County, Xiaode County, less than a hundred miles away from Jinyang, was also very lively... ····
Seeing the fireworks rising in the county town and the slowly opening city gate, Wang Muzhi, who personally led 10,000 troops to attack at night, couldn't help but have a proud smile on his face.
As the saying goes, you have a good plan and I have a wall ladder. Your Fengwu army can bribe my Yun Bing army soldiers to let them open the city gate.
I, Wang Muzhi, can treat others with their own methods. First, I will quietly arrange the soldiers of Yun Bingjun in the city, and then let them attack the city gate after you think you have captured the city. Let the gates open from within.
Thinking of this, Wang Muzhi no longer hesitated, and immediately called to the Yun Bingjun soldiers behind him:
"Brothers of Yun Bingjun! Kill all those bastards of the Fengwu Army!"
After listening to Wang Muzhi's words, the soldiers of Yun Bingjun were also very excited when they saw the city gate opening in Xiaode County. They rushed to Xiaode County one by one, fearing that they would not be able to get the victory if they were too late. .
Just when Wang Muzhi was complacent and thinking about when Chen Wenzhao would lead his troops to withdraw, he suddenly heard loud shouts of killing in Xiaode City, and the next second there was the roar of countless firearms.
Wang Muzhi was startled when he heard the sound. Before he could figure out what was happening in the city, he saw two Fengwu Army cavalry units suddenly coming out from both sides of Xiaode City.
"Whoever kills Wang Mu will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver!"
"Long live the Fengwu Army! Long live Marshal Ye!"
"The time has come to be loyal to Marshal Ye!"
················
················
These Fengwu Army cavalry shouted slogans and were as unstoppable as heavenly soldiers and generals, rushing straight towards Yun Bingjun outside the city.
At this time, the officers and soldiers of the Yunbing Army who stayed outside the city were all thinking about how to be cool after taking Xiaode County. They did not expect that they would be attacked by the Fengwu Army cavalry at this time.
Therefore, they were caught off guard and could not organize effective resistance and counterattack. The military formation was quickly penetrated by the Fengwu Army cavalry.
Seeing these wolf-like and tiger-like Fengwu Army cavalry charging towards his central army, Wang Muzhi was reminded by the surrounding generals and guards in the direction of Meng, and realized that his confident plan had already been planned. Seen through by Fengwu's army, they used a trick to set this trap for themselves.
After understanding everything, Wang Muzhi felt very ashamed and felt that he had failed Shangguan Hongyuan for his trust, so he sighed deeply.
"Master Chief Assistant, Mu Zhi has lived up to your trust!"
After saying this, Wang Muzhi felt that there was no hope of survival, so he pulled out the sword from his waist and committed suicide. However, before he could put the sword on his neck, Wang Xiaofeng, the captain of the soldiers beside him, quickly snatched it from Wang Muzhi's hand. holding the long sword, he anxiously persuaded:
"My lord Governor, we will keep the green hills without worrying about having firewood. As long as you are alive, we will not lose!"
"You must not die now. If you die now, the leaderless dragons in Jinyang will definitely be taken advantage of by the Fengwu Army... ·······”
At this time, Wang Muzhi's other favorite general, General Zhao Wenbin, also came over and said anxiously:
"Mr. Governor, I will lead my troops to stop the Fengwu Army! Leave quickly!"
"Wen Bin! You..."
Wang Muzhi was also very moved after listening to Zhao Wenbin's words. He knew that by staying to break up the rear at this time of overwhelming defeat, Zhao Wenbin had put his own life and death at risk.
Looking at the excited Wang Muzhi, Zhao Wenbin preached with great enthusiasm:
"Mr. Governor, see you in the next life! I will still be with you in the next life!"
As he finished speaking and saw the Fengwu Army getting closer and closer, Zhao Wenbin led his troops to attack without waiting for Wang Muzhi's reply.
Looking at Zhao Wenbin's tall back, Wang Muzhi's heart was like a knife and his eyes were full of pain. At this time, the captain of the personal soldiers Wang Xiaofeng could not help but urge:
"Lord Governor, leave quickly! The Fengwu army's attack is too fierce. General Zhao and the others cannot withstand it for long!"
After listening to Wang Xiaofeng's words, Wang Muzhi, who was shrouded in shame and humiliation, gave up the idea of committing suicide. He could not let Zhao Wenbin's sacrifice be in vain. He immediately left the military formation with Wang Xiaofeng and dozens of guards, heading towards Jinyang. Fleeing in panic in the direction...
Seeing that all their generals had run away, the soldiers of Yun Bing Army, whose defeat was already certain, were even more disinclined to fight at this time. Those who could run immediately ran to the rear. Those who could not run could only kneel on the ground, trembling, praying for help. The soldiers of the armed forces can circumvent their lives.
Seeing this scene, Xun Ke, the commander of the Third Army of the Fengwu Army, who was in charge of this battle, immediately showed a smile on his face and ordered to the men beside him:
"The commander-in-chief has told us before that if the victory is determined, don't do more killings. Let the brothers start recruiting and surrendering. When our army completely captures Yunbin, we will rely on these young men to build Yunbin!"
"And that Wang Muzhi must not let him run away. He will be seen alive or his body will be seen dead! If you catch him, I will ask the commander for credit on your behalf!"
"Yes! I will obey the command, your Majesty!"
Under Xun Ke's military order, hundreds of Fengwu soldiers chased in the direction where Wang Muzhi fled. Because it was dark, they could not see the surrounding situation clearly. Therefore, in order to remember Wang Muzhi's characteristics, these Fengwu soldiers The military cavalry shouted while chasing:
"The one wearing the robe is Wang Muzhi! Don't let him escape!"
Wang Muzhi, who was fleeing for his life under the protection of his personal guards, heard the shouts of killing coming from behind and did not dare to think too much about it, even if he took off his shirt.
After running for a while, another Fengwu Army cavalry saw Wang Muzhi, and shouted again:
"The one with the beard is Wang Muzhi! This man has a thousand taels of silver on his head!"
Hearing this, Wang Muzhi suddenly trembled in his heart, as if he had cut off the beard he had grown for many years...
Because the Fengwu Army was getting closer and closer, Wang Muzhi had no time to feel sorry for his beard. He only regretted that he had lost a pair of wings and could not fly back to Jinyang immediately.
Wang Muzhi was not afraid of death, but he was afraid that because of his death, Yun Bing's army in Jinyang would be leaderless, and Fengwu's army would take advantage of the opportunity to capture Jinyang.
Although he is far away from the core of power in Luo'an, as the governor of Yun Bing of the Luo'an court, Wang Muzhi is also very clear about the situation of the court. He knows that the Luo'an court is already in a precarious state due to internal and external troubles. If he encounters What a storm, the court is likely to fall apart!
And the fall of Jinyang and the Fengwu army's troops heading straight towards Guanzhong were the big storms that could collapse the Luo'an court!
If such a situation were allowed to happen, Wang Mu would not be able to atone for his sins until he died!
Therefore, he must return to Jinyang as soon as possible to organize the soldiers and civilians in Jinyang City to deal with the next offensive of Fengwu Army!
Because he felt that it would not take too many troops to capture Xiaode County with internal support, Wang Muzhi only led 10,000 people to fight. Now it seems that this is a blessing among misfortunes. In today's situation, even if he will Yun Bing's army came out in full force, and failure was inevitable.
The only difference may be that more soldiers and horses were lost...
Although these ten thousand people are now reduced, he still has more than thirty thousand soldiers and horses in the city. Although most of those people are young men who have just been recruited into the army, there is still hope for defending the city, so he still has Can't die!
Perhaps God also heard Wang Muzhi's thoughts and lamented his plight. Light snow fell in the sky. Under the cover of the light snow, it was even more difficult for the Fengwu Army cavalry chasing after him to determine where Wang Muzhi was going. Then I lost my way.
Seeing that the shouts of killing behind him gradually subsided, Wang Muzhi felt a little relieved, but he still did not dare to be careless and continued to grit his teeth and run towards Jinyang. He would be safe only when he returned to Jinyang... ·····························
·······························
·······························
Just when the Fengwu Army entered the station in Yunbin with an offensive in full swing, their Marshal Ye was in Yijing, immersed in the gentle countryside.
Holding Pei Zhi's soft and boneless hand, Ye Mingsheng was looking at Ye Jingxuan in front of him with a smile. At this time, Xiao Jingxuan was shaking his head and reciting:
Angry and angry, I leaned against the railing, and the rain stopped. Lift our sight, the sky and shouts, grand, vehement. Thirty years of fame and dust, eight thousand miles of clouds and moon. Don't wait to see the young man's head grow white, and it will be empty and sad.
The shame of Jingkang is still not over. When will the hatred of the ministers be destroyed? Driving a long car, crossing the gap in Helan Mountain. The ambition is to eat the meat of Huns when they are hungry, and to drink the blood of Huns when they are thirsty. Be from scratch, clean up the old mountains and rivers, overturned Que.
Although he had recited the words very proficiently, it could be seen that Xiao Jingxuan was still a little nervous and stumbled a little while reciting the words.
Although Xiao Jingxuan's recitation was not perfect, Ye Mingsheng still touched his head lovingly and said:
"Jingxuan, you memorized this poem very well. Did your mother teach you to memorize it?"
Xiao Jingxuan shook his head without thinking after hearing this, and then faced his father's gaze and said in a sweet voice:
"My mother never taught me this. When I went to play with brother Jingren, I heard Mr. Gu talking about the poem "brother Jingren". I just listened to it for a while and then memorized it. ···················"
As soon as these words came out, a look of surprise flashed in Ye Mingsheng's eyes, and then he asked again:
"In that case, do you know what this song "Manjianghong" means?"
Faced with his father's question, Xiao Jingxuan thought for a while before answering:
"I remember Mr. Gu said that the general meaning of Yue Wumu's poem is his grief and indignation at the fall of the Central Plains at the hands of the enemy, and his lofty ambition to encourage himself to continue working hard and make contributions to the country!"
"Mr. Gu also said, Dad, you are the contemporary Yue Wumu. It was under your protection that the Great Zhou Dynasty did not fall into the hands of the enemy. However, there is still a great traitor like Shangguan Hongyuan in the world, so Dad, you still We need to work hard to clear out the traitors as soon as possible, return the world to the people, and achieve a peaceful and prosperous age!"
Hearing such words, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but have a faint smile on his face, pinched Xiao Jingxuan's fleshy little face and said
"In terms of serving the country and the people, your father and I are still slightly inferior to Yue Wumu, but I will never be Yue Wumu!"
In response to his father's words, Xiao Jingxuan nodded in understanding. Seeing this, Ye Mingsheng asked again:
"Jingxuan, you performed well, tell me what reward you want?"
As soon as these words came out, Jingxuan hesitated for a while, then looked at Ye Mingsheng and said with great anticipation:
"Dad, can you give brother Jingren a holiday? Last month he said he would take me to the back garden to catch fish and cook grilled fish for me, but he was always kept in a small room by his aunt to study. I didn’t eat the grilled fish he cooked either..."
Feeling the childlike sincerity in Jingxuan's eyes, Ye Mingsheng was slightly moved, and immediately ordered Ye Cheng outside the room:
】
"Take Jingxuan to the eldest lady and tell the eldest lady that I will give Jingren a day off today and ask him to go catch fish in the back garden and cook grilled fish for Jingxuan!"
"yes!"
Ye Mingsheng knew that he would definitely become emperor in the future, and his sons would all be princes in the future, although he had his own plans for the inheritance of power.
But no one can tell what will happen in the future. In order to avoid scenes of fratricide in the future, Ye Mingsheng also planned to cultivate the brotherhood between Jingren, Jingcheng and Jingxuan!
Hearing Ye Mingsheng's order, Xiao Jingxuan was also very happy. After thanking his father at Pei Zhixiu's request, he skipped towards An Miaoyi's yard under the leadership of Ye Cheng.
After Ye Jingxuan left, Pei Zhixiu on the side also realized Ye Mingsheng's intentions, gently took Ye Mingsheng's arm and said:
"Ms. sir, thank you for your hard work!"
Ye Mingsheng heard this and patted Pei Zhixiu's beautiful hand and said with a smile:
"Jingxuan is a really smart kid. At this time, Jingren could only memorize some enlightenment books such as the Three Character Classic and Hundred Family Surnames. He watched one sheep and herded two sheep. It happened that Xingtong and Jingren also Let’s study together, let Jingxuan go too, the three of them will be each other’s companions!”
Hearing Ye Mingsheng's words, Pei Zhixiu seemed to be moved, but after hesitating for a while, he shook his head and said:
"Jingxuan just has some cleverness, it doesn't count! It's fine for him to read at home alone!"
Regarding Pei Zhixiu's polite refusal, Ye Mingsheng understood her true intentions and said immediately:
"As long as I'm here! The Ye Mansion and the king's methods can't change the world!"
Pei Zhixiu shook his head slightly after hearing this, and Ye Mingsheng was also very helpless when he saw this.
He knew that Pei Zhixiu didn't really want Gu Sansi to teach Jingxuan, she just simply didn't want to cause trouble...
