On May 30, at the west gate of Yi Jing, with the expectant eyes and cheers of tens of thousands of people, Ye Mingsheng, dressed in military uniform and surrounded by everyone, delivered an impassioned speech... ····················In his speech, Ye Mingsheng listed the ten major crimes of Shangguan traitors to the people, and announced the news that Emperor Jiang Rui died at the hands of Shangguan traitors.
Because Fengwu Army has been in charge of Yijing for many years, the government has been smooth and people-friendly, and its governance of Yijing is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Coupled with the deliberate guidance of some propaganda departments of Fengwu Army, the people in Yijing only know Marshal Ye, but they don’t know who he is. Jiang Rui, the nominal leader of the world.
So when I heard Ye Mingsheng say in his speech that Jiang Rui died at the hands of Shangguan Changgong, the public generally felt indifferent to the news. However, fortunately, there were many people who were ready to guide the direction of public opinion.
"Tuo" is therefore used in these
Under the deliberate guidance of "Entrust", the public opinion of the people present also developed in the direction that Ye Mingsheng hoped. They accused and cursed Shangguan's evil deeds one after another!
Seeing that the effect he wanted was achieved, Ye Mingsheng also announced his trip to Luo'an at the right time. The purpose was to eliminate the lingering poison of Shangguan traitors in the court, to support the Zhou Dynasty, to defend every inch of the territorial sovereignty of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and to attack our Great Zhou Dynasty. No matter how far away the enemy is, he will be killed!
After Ye Mingsheng announced his decision, warm cheers and applause spontaneously broke out among the people without any support. The people all sincerely hoped that Marshal Ye could bring peace to the chaotic world and bring peace to the world. The peace and prosperity of all nations have returned to the world... Amid cheers and applause, this swearing-in ceremony was When the curtain came down, Ye Mingsheng personally led the Guards Battalion and the 13th Division, with a total of 35,000 troops and horses embarking on the road to Luo'an!
Seeing the retreating figure of Feng Wujun, some people with different thoughts also left quickly, preparing to pass on the message just delivered by Ye Mingsheng to their master.
And this was what Ye Mingsheng had expected. He had asked Huo San and Ji Xian to work together to clean up these bed bugs hiding in Yi Jing!
But what Ye Mingsheng didn't expect was that a little girl in the crowd looked at Ye Mingsheng's leaving back, with a complex look on her charming face.
Because Luo'an has been captured, Shangguan's traitors have been killed, and the Western Expeditionary Army is orderly conquering various prefectures and counties in Guanzhong.
Therefore, Ye Mingsheng is not in a hurry to go to Luo'an. In addition, Ye Mingsheng also intends to inspect the management situation of Fengwu Army in Yunhe during the process of heading west to Luo'an. Therefore, the army is not moving particularly fast, and it is enough to go It took seven days to arrive in Jinzhong.
As soon as he arrived in the middle of Jin Dynasty, Ye Mingsheng received a series of news, the most critical of which was that Jincheng surrendered to the Kipchak Khanate, and the Kipchak Khanate was gradually occupying Yongliang. , and also publicly worshiped the gods in Jincheng and delivered a speech... The area is Yongliang, which has belonged to the Kipchaks since ancient times!
In the past hundreds of years, the Astai region was shamelessly invaded by the Great Zhou Dynasty. Now that the Kipchaks have regained their land, no one can take the Astai region away from them.
This situation had been expected by Ye Mingsheng. Huo San also mentioned this when he made a report to himself!
After all, given the personality of the Kipchaks, after spending so much effort and gathering so many people this time, they must get some benefits!
If Esdogan didn't get some benefits back, it would be difficult for him to deal with the internal affairs of the Kipchak Khanate, and the rapid destruction of the Luoan court left Esdogan with no way to interfere in the internal affairs of the Great Zhou Dynasty!
It is very risky to venture deep into Guanzhong to face the Fengwu Army, so they are most likely to swallow Yongliang and give up as soon as possible.
As for the Fengwu Army, although Jincheng asked for help from the Fengwu Army before surrendering to the Kipchaks, the Western Expedition Army under Yuan Song had just captured Luo'an, and the army was now scattered throughout the country to conquer various prefectures and counties in Guanzhong.
If you want to rush to help Jincheng, the army needs to regroup, and it will take time to go back and forth. The Kipchak army is pressing down on the border, and the internal strength of Jincheng is very empty. Some militia groups cannot hold on for too long, so the Fengwu Army The first reason for rushing to the rescue was that there was too little time... Secondly, the Western Expeditionary Army under Yuan Song came from Jin Yang, to Weiguan, although there were consecutive battles and victories along the way, the casualties were not small. The troops were in urgent need of rest and replenishment, and were not ready for a battle with the Kipchak soldiers and horses.
Therefore, what Ye Mingsheng and Yuan Song agreed upon before was that the Western Expeditionary Army under Yuan Song would first ensure the security of the Guanzhong area, and when Ye Mingsheng arrived with reinforcements, they would conquer Yongliang, resist foreign humiliation, and maintain the territorial integrity of the Great Zhou Dynasty!
In addition to maintaining the territorial integrity of the Zhou Dynasty, Ye Mingsheng also intended to use this battle with the Kipchaks to show his authority to the world!
Use this to prove the legitimacy of your regime! As the saying goes, political power comes from the barrel of a gun, and the best way to establish prestige is war. Especially foreign wars can not only divert domestic conflicts, but also establish unbreakable authority and be convinced by the world!
The reason why Shangguan Hongyuan was able to quickly accumulate high prestige back then was that he saved Yongliang for the Zhou Dynasty through a series of wars with the Kipchaks and won the respect of people all over the world!
So now Ye Mingsheng also intends to imitate Shangguan Hongyuan and use the war with the Kipchaks to show his authority to the world!
Tell the people of the world that serving the military army is the orthodoxy of the world! Just like Esdogan cannot accept withdrawing without any spoils, Ye Mingsheng cannot retreat in pursuit of the legitimacy of the regime!
When two tigers fight, one of them will be injured, but Ye Mingsheng firmly believes that he is not the one who is injured... In addition to the news from the Kipchaks, Ye Mingsheng also I received a memorial from Yuan Song on how to deal with Tang Peng and the tens of thousands of captured Forbidden Army soldiers anyway.
Ye Mingsheng has actually been thinking about this issue. The Forbidden Army is different from the previous Yun Bing Army. Most of the Yun Bing Army are farmers recruited from the countryside, while most of the Forbidden Army are professional soldiers. Before Ye Mingsheng He served in the Forbidden Army, so he knew the combat effectiveness of the Forbidden Army.
Therefore, Ye Mingsheng felt that it would be a pity to send these Forbidden Army soldiers home according to the previous treatment method. Secondly, many of these generals and soldiers were veterans and knew nothing except fighting and killing, so it would not be good to send them home. Conducive to local security work.
It is inevitable that the Fengwu Army and the Kipchak Khanate will fight over this battle. If the Fengwu Army's normal recruitment model is followed, and the staff department uniformly trains new recruits, and then assigns them to various ministries to replenish troops, it will definitely be too late!
Therefore, in order to win the war, Ye Mingsheng planned to make some changes and allow the Western Expeditionary Army to absorb former Forbidden Army soldiers to replenish its strength.
But as for Tang Peng, Ye Mingsheng has not yet figured out how to arrange it. As the first Zhou Xungui to surrender to the Fengwu Army, Tang Peng still offered Wei Guan this great gift, even if it was like buying a horse bone for a thousand gold. Ye Mingsheng will definitely reward him generously...but as Tang Peng hopes, he will be given the command of an army. Ye Mingsheng still didn't want to give him a position. Ye Mingsheng planned to give him a position with high rank but no real power.
After pondering for a while, Ye Mingsheng wrote a reply to Yuan Song, saying that he was going to appoint Tang Peng as the second-grade commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army and control all the soldiers and horses of the Forbidden Army.
This position looks very powerful. If it were a peaceful and prosperous time, it would be the most honorable and favored, but now the Forbidden Army has been defeated by the Fengwu Army, so this position is in name only and has no great use.
After handling these matters, Ye Mingsheng came to the backyard of the mansion to visit Pei Zhixiu and Murong Qingwu.
Two days before leaving Luo'an, Ye Mingsheng found Pei Zhixiu to talk about the bumps along the way and whether it affected her current pregnancy.
Pei Jixiu said that she was not that delicate, and the baby in her belly was only four months old, so the situation was not that serious. Moreover, unlike ordinary women, she could take good care of herself and her baby, so Ye Mingsheng did not have to worry about her.
Hearing what Pei Zhixiu said, Ye Mingsheng was completely relieved. He knew Pei Zhixiu's abilities very well. Since Pei Zhixiu said there was no problem, then there really was no problem!
If possible, he really hopes to return to his hometown with Bae Ji-soo and relive all the things he did in Luoan... At this time In the backyard, Murong Qingwu and Pei Zhixiu were talking, while the two little guys Xinyi and Jingxuan were there.
Because the two children were still young and could not leave their mother, even though An Miaoyi was taking care of them, Murong Qingwu and Pei Zhixiu were not at ease, so Ye Mingsheng simply took the two children with him to let them The two children also took a look at the beautiful mountains and rivers to gain their knowledge!
Ye Mingsheng was also very pleased to see Murong Qingwu and Pei Zhixiu talking and laughing. Murong Qingwu hadn't smiled for a long time since the incident at Murong's family. He looked less groggy than before. Ye Mingsheng was relieved to be so spiritual. At the same time, Ye Mingsheng was also a little curious. What were the two of them talking about? He immediately walked up to them and asked, "What did you two say?" After hearing Ye Mingsheng's words, Murong Qingwu covered her mouth. She chuckled and said, "Sister Pei is telling me what happened when my husband-in-law was in Luo'an!" At this point, Murong Qingwu blinked her beautiful eyes and asked: "It turns out that the reason why Xu Zhaojie resigned on his own initiative was because your husband-in-law was behind it. He did it with a dirty hand!" After hearing this, Ye Mingsheng also recalled that when he left Luo'an, he informed the Supervision Department about Xu Zhaojie's secret possession of weapons and his evil intentions, and immediately said: "It's all some old stuff. It's an old thing!" Murong Qingwu heard this and said again: "This incident caused Xu Zhaojie very misfortune back then. He donated most of his family's money to the court to save his life. It is said that Xu Zhaojie has been investigating for a long time to find out who reported the incident to the court. He told the secret, and I don’t know how he feels now that he knows it was your husband who did it..." Listening to Murong When Qing Wu mentioned Xu Zhaojie, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but think of his former boss.
According to the intelligence from the Coordination Office, after Xu Zhaojie broke into Jiangnan, Lu Jianchao, who fought hard at first, could not find his way.
But Xu Zhaojie was so powerful that he went in alone after all. Lu Jianchao had been operating in Jiangnan for many years and had a good reputation. Coupled with the help of Fengwu military weapons, he quickly stabilized his position and forced Xu Zhaojie back to Chishan Mansion.
Now it is said that Xu Zhaojie's condition is not good, and he is very likely to be driven to the Nanjiang River to feed fish by the Jiangnan Army. Ye Mingsheng is still very worried about this!
He has always been very concerned about the situation of his old leader, and he hopes to be able to reminisce with the old leader and personally express his gratitude to the old leader for his cultivation in the palace!
Ye Mingsheng originally planned to wait for him to solve the problem of the Kipchaks now, and to understand the grudges with Xu Zhaojie in a year and a half. Now if Xu Zhaojie died at the hands of Lu Jianchao, things would not be fun!
··············································· ············While Ye Mingsheng was thinking about Xu Zhaojie, this old leader of Ye Mingsheng was leading the personal guards in a bloody battle in the Jiangnan Army camp outside Chishan Prefecture. !
Although under the fierce attack of the Jiangnan Army, the Chishan Mansion guarded by Xu Zhaojie always stood firm, firmly holding on to a glimmer of hope for himself and the Zhennan Army!
But Xu Zhaojie knew that there was no hope in continuing to hold on. Every dead Zhennan Army in the city would be one less, and the young men recruited were not of the same mind as the Zhennan Army. Therefore, under such circumstances, Xu Zhaojie knew that Chishan Mansion would be captured sooner or later. Jiangnan Army breaks through!
And if you want to avoid the city being breached and yourself being defeated and killed, the only way to go is to use surprise troops!
Therefore, Xu Zhaojie deliberately let the Zhennan Army guarding the city show fatigue, making the enemy general Lu Yun think that the Zhennan Army in Chishan City had run out of gas. Just when Lu Yun thought he had a chance of victory, Xu Zhaojie asked his subordinates to Offer the city as bait to lure the Jiangnan army into the city to ambush them!
Everything originally planned went smoothly. Under Xu Zhaojie's cunning plan, thousands of Jiangnan troops who entered the city were all killed tragically in the Zhennan Army's ambush.
However, just when Xu Zhaojie wanted to take advantage of the situation and lead his army to the Jiangnan Army camp outside the city, in an attempt to change his fate, Lu Yun remained calm in the face of danger and relied on the Jiangnan Army's numerical superiority to organize a tenacious attack. The resistance forcefully dragged the Zhennan Army into a chaotic battle.
Even though Xu Zhaojie was resourceful, he had no choice. His only option now was to personally lead the guards on the front line and inspire the soldiers of the Zhennan Army to fight until the last moment... ················
