Drunk House

 Daliang captured Rongcheng. After resting for a day, he sent troops to attack Wangcheng.

He Lanying and Feng Zhan guarded the city with 65,000 soldiers and horses. They only guarded the city for one day before they broke up and retreated, losing another 20,000 soldiers and horses.

The old protector also rewarded the three armies, took over Wangcheng, replaced the Wei flag on the city tower, and ordered a day's rest before continuing to send troops to Qingzhou City.

Qingzhou City also had few defenders. He Lanying and his men resisted for another two days, but were also defeated.

 At this point, in less than ten days, Daliang had captured three cities in the Wei Dynasty, and the momentum was overwhelming.

The urgent report was sent to the capital of the Wei Dynasty. The emperor of Wei Dynasty was shocked and angry. He immediately summoned his ministers to discuss, selected generals, and went to the border to resist the soldiers and horses of Daliang.

Since most of the generals of the Wei Dynasty were taken away to attack Nanchu, the Wei Dynasty was unable to choose generals who could lead troops to deal with the old protector of Daliang.

No one expected that He Lanying could not defend Rongcheng and lost three cities in succession.

Before the ministers could reach a conclusion after deliberation, they received battle reports one after another that Wangcheng and Qingzhou City had been lost one after another.

The second prince Yuan Chen went out to ask for orders, "Father, my son and I are willing to lead troops to fight."

The Emperor of Wei looked at Yuan Chen and asked in a deep voice: "The general leading the army in Daliang is the old protector of the country. Are you sure?"

Yuan Chen said: "Father, please mobilize the two siege cannons that were built a few days ago. We will definitely stop the old protector."

The Emperor of Wei hesitated, "Before the prince left the capital, he specifically said that the two siege cannons were not allowed to be moved. They were important weapons for him to stay in the capital."

Yuan Chen stared at the emperor, "Father, now three cities have been lost one after another, and the prince and brother are far away in Nanchu. The distant water cannot save the nearby fire. He took away a large number of soldiers and horses, and now there are only 300,000 soldiers in the country. Horses. Even if they were all summoned to meet the enemy and block Daliang, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to stop it. The ministers had already found out that Daliang now has a total of 400,000 soldiers and horses in the court. Although the old protector brought 200,000 soldiers and horses to attack Daliang, Wei, but he must have soldiers and horses behind him. If you don't bring out two siege cannons, even if the prince and brother are in the court, facing the current situation, he may not be able to withstand the fierce coming of Wei."

 The Emperor of Wei thought it was reasonable, but he still hesitated, "There are only the last two siege guns."

“Father, the prince and brother took away the six gates. Now that the three cities have been lost, if you continue to hesitate, I am afraid that not only these three cities will be lost.” Yuan Chen said.

The Emperor of Wei also knew that the situation was serious and finally nodded, "Forget it, lead your troops quickly and set off. Be sure to stop Daliang's troops at Lanwan River."

Yuan Chen nodded, "I accept your order!"

So, the Emperor of the Wei Dynasty appointed the second prince Yuan Chen as general, took away the remaining 300,000 soldiers and horses of the Wei Dynasty, and two siege cannons, and hurriedly set off from the royal capital to Qingzhou City.

The Prince of Daliang, Yan Huihui, just three days after leaving the capital, he received an eight hundred mile battle report sent by the old protector to the capital along the way.

After Yan Huisheng opened the battle report, he was overjoyed and said, "As expected of the old Duke of the country! It is not in vain that I have great trust in the old Lord Protector."

This was the first time Xie Lin saw Yan Huisheng beaming with joy, and asked from the side: "Your Highness, what's the matter? Good news from the old Protector?"

"Yeah." Yan Huisheng handed the battle report to Xie Lin and said with a smile: "The old protector of the country captured Rongcheng, a border city of the Wei Dynasty. He Lanjue's nephew He Lanying abandoned the city and was defeated."

Xie Lin was overjoyed and immediately received the battle report. He was surprised, happy and shocked. After many years, Daliang finally took action against the Wei Dynasty to avenge the Wei Dynasty for seizing the city of Daliang.

Jiang Xing and Chen Zhou were very surprised when they heard this. They gathered next to Xie Lin and read the battle report together. This battle report doubled everyone’s confidence.

After Xie Lin read it, he handed it back to Yan Huisheng. Yan Huisheng folded the battle report and handed it back to the messenger, "Continue to send it back to the capital."

 Such a happy event, of course, must be quickly informed by the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty in the capital.

After receiving the battle report, Yan Huisheng ordered to speed up. In the next few days, he received good news that the old protector had captured Wangcheng and Qingzhou City. He had defeated three cities in a row. This was a great victory.

Xie Lin admired him very much, "The old man is really powerful. He gets stronger with age, and his sword is not old yet."

Yan Huisheng nodded, his joy couldn't be restrained, and he said restrainedly: "A letter from Guhui, asking the old Duke to take care of himself in Qingzhou City. Within ten days, he will defeat the three cities of the Wei Dynasty. I am afraid that the old Duke's body and bones will not be able to bear it." ."

Xie Lin urged, "That's right. Your Highness, please hurry up and write a letter. Send someone to go ahead and deliver it as soon as possible."

After he finished speaking, he sighed, "It would be great if we also raised flying eagles. I heard that the flying eagle given to Zhou Gu by Miss Seven is used to send messages. It is very useful."

Yan echoed: "I have ordered people to tame them, but they are not of use now."

The letter sent to him by Su Rong was able to reach him so quickly because of the flying eagle delivering the message, but it was impossible for him to seize the flying eagle and use it for himself. It can only be used by sending letters to Su Rong.

Even after capturing the three cities of the Wei Dynasty, the old protector of the country did not want to continue to advance rashly, and ordered the three armies to rest in Qingzhou City for three days.

 Three days later, the old protector of the country led his army to attack the next city, Huaishui County. Before the reinforcements from the Wei Dynasty arrived, the old protector took another two days to capture Huaishui County.

 Then, there are Renping City and Changhe City.

 So, when Prince Yan Huisheng brought all the 200,000 soldiers and horses gathered from Daliang to join forces with the old protector, the old protector had already defeated the six cities of Wei.

At the same time, the second prince of the Wei Dynasty, Yuan Chen, had also brought 300,000 troops to Qiangli City, which was closest to Changhe City.

After Yuan Chen arrived at Qiangli City, he learned that Changhe City had also been lost, and he was so angry that he wanted to take military action against He Lanying.

He Lanying was from Prince Yuan Zhao, so she was unconvinced and said angrily to Yuan Chen: "The reinforcements are still coming. I only have 100,000 soldiers and horses. The old protector of Daliang has 200,000 soldiers and horses. How can I defend Rongcheng?" ? Later, each city had a maximum of 20,000 troops and a minimum of 5,000 troops. How do you want me to defend it? The second prince stood and talked without pain. I had already rushed the report to the royal capital, but the second prince led the troops. What's the reason for your late arrival? Is the second prince trying to take advantage of His Highness the Crown Prince's absence to seek power?"

Yuan Chen was furious, "You lost six cities, how can you make excuses? You haven't lost a moment since I took the order, but who would have thought that you would lose three cities in a row within half a month?"

"Do I have to defend to death in battle? Then, how can I save the 70,000 soldiers and horses under my command now?" He Lanying sneered, "Die in battle with 70,000 soldiers and horses? The second prince doesn't care about the lives of my Wei soldiers. Jiang Ke is very distressed."

"Shameless deserter, that's a high-sounding statement." Yuan Chen ordered, "Tie He Lanying to me and **** her to the capital to await my father's disposal."

He Lanying quickly drew out her sword and said, "Second Prince, if you want to move me, you have to ask the 70,000 soldiers and horses in my hand whether they agree."

He looked at Yuan Chen coldly and angrily, "Whether I am guilty or not will not be tried by the second prince. After stopping Wei's counterattack and taking revenge, I will return to the capital to plead guilty."
