After the bandits in Yingzhou distributed their dividends, they all fell into a carnival. At the same time, the fighting in the north became increasingly intense.
It is said that the Datong Guard Commander Yang Yi and his 3,000 Datong vanguard troops were starving to death in Yunmen Mountain!
In order to rescue his boss, Yubai had no choice but to send troops!
Finally, he took 20,000 Datong central defenders and Datong defenders to Yunmen Mountain to rescue Yang Yi!
Yubai took away 20,000 people, and Datong's defense suddenly became empty.
As soon as he left Datong with his front foot, the Walas attacked with his back foot!
It is said that the one who attacked Datong was none other than the leader of Wala, Yesian! The one who besieged Yang Yi in Yanghe was Zhiyuan Ala, the general under Yesian!
Another subordinate of Yesian, Tuo Buhua, led people from the southeast of Liaoning to Wucheng and besieged Xuanfu! In order to attract the attention of the guards in Dayong's capital area.
Luo Yongshi, the prefect of Datong, was a civil servant. He was not good at fighting. So in the face of the Wala people's attack, he could only order people to close the city gate and defend!
However, 30,000 soldiers were taken away by Yang Yi and Yu Bai successively. Luo Yongshi faced the embarrassing situation of having no soldiers to use!
He also urgently mobilized the people from the Andong Central Guards to come over and help with the defense!
So Anton Zhongtun garrisoned Qianhu Zuo Dalin and rushed to Datong with two thousand guards.
After the people from Anton Zhongtunwei left, the atmosphere in Yingzhou finally became tense!
Everyone also began to care about the war in the north involuntarily.
…
Of course Xie Yu also heard about the Oara people's invasion.
But his focus is different from others.
He was analyzing the possibility of the Oara people conquering Datong. Then let’s analyze what the Wala people’s next move will be after Datong is defeated, whether to go south to plunder, or to rush eastward and reach the capital!
If it was a robbery, the final result of the Nawara people might be that they went deep alone and ended up being made dumplings by the various guards of the Great Yong Dynasty! Finally trapped in the Central Plains!
Therefore, their best choice is to go directly to the east and capture the capital. Based on this, Nawala will have the initial capital to plot the Central Plains!
Thinking of this, Xie Yu no longer worried.
If the opponent is heading east, the threat to the corresponding state is not great!
Even if he turns a little south, Xie Yu is not worried that they will come and make trouble for him.
You don't rob so many cities, but you come here to rob bandits? Have a bubble on your head?
Don't worry, but you still need to be prepared.
During this period, Wang Yi also frequently went down the mountain to help Baishi Village purchase supplies.
Because he had channels to buy fire salt, Xie Yu simply asked him to buy other things he could buy while buying fire salt.
This also saves Chen Zhong from running around.
Chen Zhong's position as "purchasing manager" was taken away by Wang Yi, and he was depressed for a while.
The mass production of toilet water has been put on the agenda.
Because there is already a gunpowder processing point in the village, Xie Yu is not planning to set up another alcohol processing point.
At present, the alcohol in the village is mainly obtained from Huaxuan Club.
So Xie Yu simply bought some private houses around Huaxuan Club and transformed them into a "production workshop" for toilet water.
The production workers are still Li Daniu's people.
Thirty people come in at a time, work for half a month, go back and rest, and then let others take turns.
As for the formula of toilet water, Xie Yu did not disclose it to anyone. He prepares the ingredients himself and then soaks them in an alcohol tank.
When the time is up, just let people mix and fill according to the material tank number.
After the first batch of 3,000 bottles of toilet water were filled, Yu Hua had already created a good momentum for the sales of this toilet water!
In less than seven days, these three thousand bottles of toilet water were sold out! After receiving one hundred thousand taels of silver, Xie Yu and his father-in-law Yu Hua each shared 50,000 taels. He felt that the money was just like picking it up for free!
…
Unfavorable news about the war in the north also came one after another.
Yu Bai led 20,000 Datong guards and finally rescued the commander Yang Yi from Yunmen Mountain.
However, there were three thousand people when he followed Yang Yi up the mountain. When he came down the mountain, there were not even a thousand people.
When Yang Yi was rescued from the mountain, he was so hungry that he only had one breath left.
When Yu Bai was preparing to go back with less than a thousand remaining soldiers, he was pursued by Zhiyuan Ala again!
Because these thousand remnant soldiers were too hungry to walk, Yu Bai could only bite the bullet and attack them!
In this way, they fought and retreated along the way. When they returned to Yanghe, Yubai's twenty thousand people had also been defeated by three thousand!
Of course, this label of disadvantage in combat will definitely be pinned on the head of Commander Yang Yi.
This guy's commander is probably going to be fucked!
After retreating to Yanghe, Yu Bai did not return to Datong. He asked his personal guards to take Yang Yi and 7,000 soldiers back, while he took 10,000 soldiers to guard Yanghe.
As a result, these seven thousand soldiers returned to Datong. When Luo Yongshi saw that Yubai didn't come back, he was so angry that he almost cursed his mother.
But he also knows the importance of Yanghe. Once Yanghe is broken, the Wala people can go directly east to the capital without passing through Datong!
So Luo Yongshi could only send letters of help to the capital one after another!
It has been a month since the Wala people invaded the border, and the capital also knows about any news.
Faced with Luo Yongshi's snowflake-like letter asking for help, Emperor Yongzhao Zhou Qi's first reaction was not to consult with the ministers.
He actually asked Wang Zhen, the eunuch next to him, for advice!
Kuang Kun, Minister of the Ministry of War, and Yu Qian, the right minister of the Ministry of War, were waiting for the emperor to summon them, but they ended up feeling lonely while waiting!
Wang Zhen is obsessed with making money and suppressing dissidents all day long. Does he know anything about war?
So when Zhou Qi asked him what to do about the war in the north, Wang Zhen was also confused.
"We, the officers of the Great Yong Dynasty, are the divine soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty. What should we fear from the mere northern barbarians?" Wang Zhen made a rough summary of the news he had heard these days, and finally made his own conclusion, " The reason why the war in the north is tense, I think, is because the military’s morale is unsettled!”
"It is said that the leader of the Wala people this time is their leader Yesian! This man advances and retreats with the soldiers, so he can naturally boost morale! Cao GUI once talked about the importance of morale when he was arguing with Duke Zhuang of Lu! , Naturally, we are defeated after repeated battles!”
"So the top priority is to boost the morale of our army! Didn't their leader personally lead the troops? Your Majesty can also lead the expedition in person! When the time comes when my officers and soldiers in front hear that Your Majesty is coming in person, their morale will be greatly boosted, and one will be worth a hundred!"
"In the future, when historians record this matter, they will also say that Your Majesty took action to rid the territory of evil spirits! Your Majesty will definitely be remembered in history!"
Zhou Qi was successfully deceived by Wang Zhen!
He decided to lead the expedition himself.
When the news spread from the palace, the capital was in an uproar.
While Kuang Kun, the Minister of the Ministry of War, was still slamming the table and scolding Wang Zhen, the Minister of Military Affairs, Yu Qian, had quietly brought a cloth bag to the home of Xu Yuanyu, the right minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
At the court meeting the next day, Zhou Qi indeed announced the news that he was preparing to conquer the country in person.
When he asked the ministers for their opinions, Yu Qian was the first to stand up and object.
"Your Majesty, no!"
