"Okay! Very good! I have decided that the fourth brother and the sixth brother will be victorious in Dengzhou. As an emperor, I have to express the court's wishes. Therefore! I have decided to drive the expedition in person and personally express my condolences to the army." Dongfang Chang did not want to stay in the court all the time. , he also wants to show his style on the battlefield.
this……
Zhao Shiyan was naturally unwilling. Although he had the power to evade the emperor, he did not dare to make fun of the emperor's life.
The situation on this battlefield is unpredictable and full of dangers. What if something happens to Dongfang Chang?
"Your Majesty, you are more noble than the lord of a country, and you have just ascended the throne. The world is unstable. If you leave the court, lawless people may take advantage of it!"
"What's more? Your Majesty has a precious body and is good at literature but not martial arts. If something goes wrong on the battlefield, I can't bear it. Can't you bear it even if you have a great martial arts?" Zhao Shiyan said extremely anxiously.
At this time, the military generals Guo Deng, Guo Yi, and the commander-in-chief Jiang Li also paid their respects: "Your Majesty! What the Prime Minister said is absolutely true. When killing on the battlefield, King Qin is here, so don't worry! If your Majesty is really worried, just send him secretly." A minister, on behalf of the imperial court and Your Majesty, would like to express condolences to the King of Qi, the King of Qin and General Liu Wenwen."
The minister strongly opposed it, and he was also a minister of Dawu. As the emperor, Dongfang Chang had no choice but to do so.
Fortunately, Dongfang Chang had no loyal people. As the commander-in-chief of the late emperor's imperial army, Jiang Li's loyalty to the late emperor was understandable. He is also extremely loyal to him, and he is not alone in this court.
but! Even Jiang Li strongly opposed it, so he was really helpless.
"That's alright! Just send one of the ministers to express my condolences to them on my behalf!" Chief Dongfang said helplessly, "Who is willing to express my condolences to the frontline troops on my behalf!"
Dongfang Chang glanced at the ministers, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
Just in time! Gu Jiu, the Vice-Chancellor of the Central Military Commission, stood up, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I would like to express my condolences to the frontline troops on behalf of the imperial court."
Chief Dongfang was overjoyed and said, "Okay! Then I'll go and love you, that's great!"
While the imperial court was enjoying the joy of regaining the three states, the situation of the military forces on the Jizhou battlefield was extremely unfavorable.
Zhang Tianzheng, Minister of the Fifth Army and Governor of Shandong, suffered repeated defeats on the battlefield in Jizhou.
It's not that Zhang Tianzheng is incompetent, it's just that Huangpao is too powerful. Legend has it that a soldier in Huangpao once saw that with a casual wave of his hand, heavy fog was set off and thunder and lightning flashed.
certainly! If this rumor reaches Dongfang Yu's ears, he will naturally not believe it.
There was no one who knew magic in this world, but he believed in fortune telling.
At this time, Zhang Tianzheng was beaten by the yellow robe army on the battlefield in Jizhou. After being defeated in the first battle, even Shi Wenlong's firearms army was rendered useless.
He kept running back.
"Master Zhang, we can't run like this! The yellow robe army is pressing forward step by step. If this continues, we will have to retreat to Yanghu Pass." Shi Wenlong, Qi Lanyin and others said anxiously.
It's not that they can't beat Huangpao, but Huangpao is really weird, especially when it comes to setting up formations, they don't know how to do it. This rush up, basically there is no return!
Moreover, almost all the elites of the Huangpao Army in Jizhou, and their generals are also here.
Governor Li Zhen, Luo Youshan is famous. General Long Yue is said to be very skilled in martial arts. The four armies that attacked Jizhou Huangpao Army were hard to beat.
There are also great generals such as Yuying, Zhao Li, and Hong Yang.
Zhang Tianzheng took a breath, furrowed his brows, and said with a solemn expression, "For the current plan, we can only retreat with the main force of the Yellow Robe Army to avoid the sharp edge. We only need to wait until the armies of King Qin, King Qi, and General Liu Wenwen arrive. , it’s time to show off with Huangpao.”
He had no choice but to move hundreds of thousands of mountains to prepare for the Japanese army, and he had never been so frustrated in fighting the Japanese pirates. Now we fight against the small yellow robe army, but we have lost more than 30,000 people so far.
There were also 20,000 soldiers and horses from Jizhou and Honzhou who died. The price was so high that Zhang Tianzheng's heart seemed to be bleeding.
And this time! He brought all the most capable generals from Shandong, Qi Lanyin, Fang Shouke, and Zong Jing, but they couldn't defeat Huangpao.
"promise!"
Under the leadership of Li Zhen, the Yellow Robe Army was invincible.
Zhang Tianzheng had no choice but to retreat the army fifty miles back.
So far, the only thing that can be done is to keep the main force. At this time, he still had more than 50,000 Japanese soldiers and horses under his command, and Shi Wenlong's firearms camp numbered about 8,000 people.
There are still more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in Jizhou headquarters. There is no problem in temporarily blocking the yellow robe army.
And he could only hide in Lu County and Lu Pass not far away.
Lujun and Luguan are the shortcuts to Luo Qicheng's imperial capital. As long as the Yellow Robe Army captures Luguan, they may march straight in and overwhelm Yanghu Pass. By then, the situation in Luo Qicheng will be in crisis.
During this period, Li Zhen will definitely invade Luguan on a large scale, because! Once the four armies unite, their base in Jizhou will be in jeopardy. Then, it will be a decisive battle.
If they take Yanghu Pass and destroy Luo Qi's imperial capital, it doesn't matter what kind of three-pronged army they have.
Yellow Robe Li Zhen Camp...
"General Li Zhen, the military army is concentrating on Lu Pass. It seems that they will defend Lu Pass." Long Yue dragged his cheeks and said involuntarily.
Li Zhen also looked solemn and said: "Alas! A few days ago, news of the defeat of several governors came from Dengzhou, Wanzhou, and Taizhou. Zhang Kun died in battle, Luo Youshan and the war army surrendered, and the base areas of the three states have ended. Buried at the hands of the enemy."
"What is even more hateful is that the two traitors, Luo Youshan and Zhan Jun, actually defected to the enemy. This is what makes the leader very angry."
"So! The leader has divided one hundred thousand troops. Under the leadership of Commander Ying, we are going north to Youzhou, which is rich. Our army relies on Jizhou and Youzhou to feed hundreds of thousands of troops, which is more than enough."
Long Yue is good at vanguard and is good at leading troops in battles. But when it comes to cunning, he is still too young.
As for Zhang Tianzheng's army that had retreated into Lujun and Luguan, even Li Zhen was helpless. after all! Zhang Tianzheng is so powerful. He has seen it before. An army of hundreds of thousands has fought with him for so long.
It was enough to prove that the opponent he faced was not bad at all.
certainly! News of the crisis in Jizhou also reached the ears of Dongfang Yu, Dongfang Tian, and Liu Wenwen.
At this time, the three armies had already met in Taizhou, and all of a sudden! More than 200,000 troops gathered in Huai County, Taizhou.
Allied forces tent.
Dongfang Tian, Dongfang Qi and Liu Wenwen were sitting in the main tent. The brothers of King Qin and King Qi put aside their grudges for the first time, and the generals of the two kings stood in the commander's tent in such harmony for the first time.
