North of Jinyang, somewhere in an unknown wilderness three hundred miles away
Thousands of Kipchaks are setting up camp here. Compared with the cheerful Xiu Xiu when they first entered the clouds and looted everywhere, the atmosphere among these Kipchaks at this moment seems extremely dull... ················
Centurion Turan walked into the most luxurious camp in the middle of the camp, and said to General Tai Yinlak who was sitting there with one hand wrapped in a bandage and drinking sullen wine:
"General, we have finished counting. In total, we have more than 300 dead and more than 500 injured in Sunjia Town!"
Before Turan could say anything, Taiyin Lak, who was holding the wine glass, smashed it to the ground angrily. He stood up, drew out his scimitar and said angrily:
"Xunke, you bitch, I will cut you to pieces and feed you to wild wolves!"
A month ago, under the order of the Great Khan Esdogan, Eagle Division General Taiyin Lak happily brought his troops to Yunbin. At first, relying on the high mobility of the cavalry, they moved the infantry of the Fengwu Army. They went around and around and looted several villages and towns in succession, which can be said to be a huge robbery!
Just when Tai Yinlak, who was a little happy and carefree, thought that this "happiness" could continue, his nightmare appeared!
Under Yuan Song's order, Xun Ke led the cavalry of the Third Army back to Jinyang. Under Xun Ke's command, the Fengwu Army combined infantry and cavalry, which immediately reduced the mobility advantage of the Kipchak cavalry. , and as the mobility advantage weakened, Taiyin Lak and his tribe were continuously attacked by the Fengwu Army cavalry... ·
Although Taiyin Lak led his troops to run fast and did not give the Fengwu army a chance to annihilate him, the cumulative somersaults caused him to lose a lot of troops!
Especially this time in the battle of Sunjia Town, not only thousands of people were killed and injured, but even Taiyin Lak's own arm was hit by the Fengwu Army's firecracker!
Just when Taiyin Lak was incompetent and furious, a messenger walked into the camp and reported:
"General, there is news about the Battle of Pingyang!"
Upon hearing this, Tai Yinlak's eyes suddenly lit up and he asked impatiently:
"Tell me quickly, how is Pingyang doing now? Who won between the Fengwu Army and the Luoan Court?"
As the person in charge of the Kipchak Khanate's southward march to Yunmeng this time, Tai Yinlak received a personal letter from Great Khan Esdogan before starting his march south.
With Estogan's personal instructions, Tai Yinlak also realized that the key point of his trip south this time was that it was not about himself!
As for the confrontation between the Fengwu Army and the Luo'an Court in Pingyang, if the two armies continue to stalemate, or if the Luo'an Court wins, the Fengwu Army will not be able to concentrate all its strength on them, and they, the Kipchaks, can continue to fight in Yun. And they committed evil crimes, burning, killing and looting!
But if the Fengwu Army wins Pingyang, then the situation will be completely different. Without worries, the Fengwu Army can mobilize heavy troops to annihilate them on the spot. Therefore, for Taiyin Lak, the Fengwu Army wins Pingyang. The victory of the battle was the signal for their retreat·························
Under Taiyin Lak's ferocious gaze, the messenger spoke with difficulty:
"Report to the general, the Fengwu Army has captured Pingyang, and the remnants of the Forbidden Army hastily withdrew into Wei Pass!"
Upon hearing the news, Taiyin Lak roared angrily. He looked like a madman and was so frightened that the messenger trembled. He didn't know whether he should leave now or stay in the tent.
Although he understands rationally that he should lead his troops to evacuate as soon as possible now, the Fengwu Army that captured Pingyang is probably targeting him. If he doesn't retreat now, he may not be able to leave in a few days!
But emotionally Taiyin Lak, who had just suffered a tragic defeat in Sunjia Town, was like a wounded beast. What he wanted to do most at the moment was to make the person who hurt him pay the price with blood.
Therefore, it was difficult for him to accept that he had to flee in a hurry at this time, so that this trip south to plunder, which was supposed to be a fruitful return, turned out to be an anticlimax and was ridiculed by the tribe!
Just as Tai Yinlak continued to struggle between reason and emotion,
At that time, another centurion under his command, Aili, walked into the tent excitedly.
Aili seemed to want to report something alone to Tai Yinlak, so when he saw the other two people in the camp, he suddenly became hesitant to speak... ················
Taiyin Lack, who was in a dilemma, waved his hand to signal the messenger and centurion leader Turan to leave. After the two left, Aili no longer had any scruples and reported to Taiyin Lack in a low voice:
"General, someone from the Inspection Department took the initiative to contact us!"
Upon hearing the news, Taiyin Lak was a little surprised and immediately asked:
"Why is the Supervision Department contacting us?"
In addition to looting property, a very important task of Taiyinlak's trip south this time was to attack the Fengwu Army's logistical supplies and help Pingyang's Forbidden Army gain an advantage in the war.
Although it was to help the Forbidden Army in Pingyang fight, due to the sworn enemy relationship between the Kipchak Khanate and the Luo'an court, there was no contact between the two parties. Therefore, Taiyin Lack was surprised by the Supervision Department's proactive contact this time!
Faced with Taiyin Lak's inquiry, Aili said:
"These people from the Supervision Department said that Xun Ke wanted to completely annihilate us and take credit from Ye Mingsheng, so he set up a trap!"
"In two days, a 2,000-strong Fengwu Army logistics supply team will depart from Jinyang and head towards Pingyang. The Supervision Department told us not to believe this news!"
"This news is a bait deliberately released by Xun Ke to lure us in. Xun Ke organized more than 20,000 people. Once we take the bait, we will be ambushed by the Fengwu Army... ··············》
Upon hearing the news, Tai Yinlak said in a deep voice with slightly narrowed eyes:
"Aili, how did you determine the identities of these people from the Inspectorate?"
After hearing this, Aili said without thinking:
"They have the Inspection Department's token in their hands!"
After speaking, Aili added:
"General, they are in my camp. Do you want to meet them?"
After hearing this, Taiyin Lak thought for a while and shook his head and said:
"I won't see them anymore!"
"Aili, don't let them go yet. Find a few people to go to the local area to check their details and wait for my news!"
Aili nodded and said:
"As you command, my lord!"
After Aili left, Tai Yinlak immediately looked at the map. To be honest, he wanted to meet these people from the Supervision Department to personally confirm the authenticity of the news.
However, for a long time in the past, including at this moment, the Luo'an court and the Kipchak Khanate were sworn enemies. The Luo'an court had more than once asked the Supervision Department to seduce the Qin Dynasty with gold, silver, soft drinks, and generous salaries. The generals of the Kipchak Khanate rebelled, which also brought considerable harm to the Kipchak Khanate.
Therefore, in order to avoid the recurrence of tragedies, the Kipchak Khanate was very taboo about private contact between generals and Zhou people, especially people from the Supervision Department. Anyone who disobeyed the order would be executed!
Therefore, under this law, Taiyin Lack could only choose to avoid suspicion and not come forward to let his subordinates contact him... ··
Although he was cautious, Tai Yinlak did not 100% believe the information reported by his subordinates, but he felt that the news was most likely true!
Although he has never met Xun Ke, through Xun Ke's series of actions, Taiyin Lack can sense Xun Ke's determination to annihilate them!
Although the Fengwu Army mobilized its cavalry to deal with itself, the Fengwu Army's cavalry was too few, with only more than 7,000 people. The main force of the Fengwu Army was infantry, and its own side was all cavalry, so Fengwu's mobility was limited. The army is still at a disadvantage.
Under such circumstances, the best way for the Fengwu Army to annihilate their own troops is to lay a trap in a terrain that is conducive to them, and then lure their own troops into an ambush.
Therefore, the news reported by Aili is logical, and Taiyin Lack is willing to believe that they are real people from the Supervision Department.
The members of the army discovered the news about the Fengwu Army. In order to deal with the common goal of the Fengwu Army, they reported the news to themselves.
However, Xun Ke is very cunning and has plotted against him many times, so he still needs to be careful!
If the news is true, Tai Yinlak has an idea to use the trick in his mind. If the Fengwu Army wants to annihilate itself, it must concentrate its main force. Once the main force of the Fengwu Army is assembled, other places will appear. The situation of empty troops, and this is what he can take advantage of!
Now that the Fengwu Army has won the Battle of Pingyang, it is very unsafe to stay in Yunbin.
I must leave, but before I leave, I must do something big to teach Xun Ke a profound lesson and let him know how powerful the Kipchak warriors are. Thinking of this, Tai Yinlak clenched his fists tightly. , his expression also became excited...

On April 7, Ye Mingsheng, who inspected Youyan, returned to Yijing City under the welcome of a group of officials.
After returning home, before Ye Mingsheng could rest, Cui Shao came to the door and asked Ye Mingsheng to go out for inspection. These days, all the official documents and memorials he had handled as the central envoy were presented to Ye Mingsheng for review.
Seeing these piles of official documents and memorials, Ye Mingsheng was helpless but accepted them all, and then had a brief chat with Cui Shao, an old fox.
Because Ye Cui will be turning sixty in July, Cui Shao also asked Ye Mingsheng what he meant to see if Ye Mingsheng wanted to hold this birthday, if so, what scale it would be, and how much money he had budgeted for.
Ye Mingsheng also has a headache about this problem. According to custom, an old man's sixtieth birthday is a very important day. Even if an ordinary woman celebrates her sixtieth birthday, it is natural for her to hold a birthday banquet, and Ye Mingsheng, as Fengwu Commander-in-Chief of the Army, I am celebrating my sixtieth birthday, so logically speaking, I should be doing a lot of things.
Ye Mingsheng is also willing to give his mother, Ye Cui, a good deal. After all, the average life expectancy in this era is not high, and no one can predict the future, so it is supposed to be fun in time, and live a happy life for my mother. Have a good 60th birthday...
But the reality is very cruel. The Fengwu Army is not very financially wealthy now. In addition, Yunbin is still fighting. In order to maintain Yunbin's more than 100,000 Fengwu troops eating, drinking and sleeping, some officials should have stepped in. The implemented projects are now on hold.
Therefore, at such a time when finances are tight, it is really inappropriate to have a grand celebration of a 60th birthday!
[The problem of slow update of new chapters can be solved by
The Fengwu Army only captured Pingyang Yifu and gained little.
However, from the perspective of the entire strategy, the Fengwu Army killed a large number of the main forces of the Forbidden Army, which greatly shook the rule of the Luoan court and made the entire Luoan people panic. Therefore, they believed that they should strike while the iron is hot and attack Weiguan as soon as possible to defeat Guanzhong. .
Ye Mingsheng agrees with the opinions of the staff. After all, as the saying goes, it is better to take advantage of your illness to kill you. Now is the time when the Luoan court is relatively weak. If you can make up for him at this time, it is very likely that he will be killed. Let the Luoan court fall apart!
After solving the Luoan court, he will unify the northern part of the Zhou Dynasty. Then he can devote all his energy to the south. In this way, it is not an illusion to unify the Zhou Dynasty within three years!
Although he agreed with the staff's opinion, Ye Mingsheng did not express his position in front of Zhao Han because he was waiting for the memorial given to him by Yuan Song.
Ye Mingsheng knew that after Yuan Song cleaned up the mess, he would definitely write himself a memorial to express his views on the next step in the war.
Because his military ability is limited, Ye Mingsheng has always valued the opinions of front-line generals. Therefore, as the commander-in-chief, Ye Mingsheng will not make any easy decisions on the key issue of the next step of the war before seeing Yuan Song's opinions. Making a statement····························
