my wife is mulan

The brothers and nephews clasped their hands together in desperation and agreed: "Yes!"

Zhao Junsheng also said to the generals and officials under his command: "Everyone, before handing over the military power, please try to restrain the people as much as possible, and take care of the affairs in the yamen, so as not to cause trouble. If such a thing happens, it will have a great impact on everyone in the future." Official career is not good, so you must keep it in mind!"

The generals and officials clasped their hands together: "Follow the general's order!"

Three days later, Xue Andu and his army came from Hangu Pass to the west gate of Luoyang City to meet with his family members.

"General Xue, according to your majesty's edict, Wei is here to hand over the military power of Luoyu to you, please accept it!" Wei Juan clasped his fists at Xue Andu.

An official came forward with a tray with seals and rosters on it.

Xue An waved his hand, and a small school next to him stepped forward to take the tray and returned it to its original position.

Wei's family said: "Previously, Wei had already issued orders to the officials and garrisons in various places in Luoyu, and sent people to post notices in various places that Wei and the garrisons and officials in Luoyu had surrendered to Qianguo! The soldiers stationed in Luoyang are all here now. Here, please general count, after the transfer of military power is completed, Wei will take his family members and set off to Qianjing to meet the king!"

"General Wei understands righteousness. Your choice has saved the people of Yuluo area from a disaster. The people will thank you!" Xue An said with a wave of his hand, "Come here, count the number of people!"

An hour later, all the troops in the garrison were counted. There was no problem, and the transfer of military power was completed. After the lieutenants bid farewell to Xue Andu, they took their family members, servants and maidservants with more than [-] people and set off for the north.

On the second day after Weijuan's family had just crossed the Yellow River, Bu Liuguli arrived in Chang'an with the Yunzhong court and more than [-] troops, and issued an edict to crusade against Qianguo on the emperor's order, ordering all princes to join forces .

At this time, Wei Juan regretted that it was too late, so he could only continue to take his family northward.

The emperor of Wei State issued an imperial edict to confer the title of Pi Leopard as General of Chariots and King of Huaiyang; canonize Xi's family as General of Hushi and King of Nanyang; canonize Lai Daqian as General of Zhengdong and King of Luling!He ordered Lai Daqian to send troops from Yunzhong to attack Pingcheng; ordered Xi's family to send troops from Tongwancheng to cross the Yellow River to attack Bingzhou;

The monarchs and ministers of the Qian Kingdom got the news at the first time. Zhao Junsheng ordered Gao Jinzhi, the general of Pingcheng, Gao Xiu, the general of Bingzhou Town, and Zhang Xing, the general of Hedong Township, to implement the strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the wilderness. Xue An defended Tongguan to prevent Bu Liuguli's army from entering the Guandong.

In December, when the weather is cold and the Yellow River is generally frozen, it is very difficult for Xue An to defend Tongguan, because Bu Liuguli's army can cross the Yellow River on ice and reach the back of Tongguan.

However, Xue Andu's luck was very good. This winter, the Yellow River was not frozen at the point where Tongguan turned to the east. The current here is fast and the river is wide. To freeze the river, the temperature needs to be very low.

The army of leopards attacking Hedong was blocked by the Yellow River, and the army of Buliuguli was also blocked under Tongguan.

Pi Baozi set up camp in the south of the Wei River and on the west bank of the Yellow River, waiting for the Yellow River to freeze, but the Yellow River has not been frozen, so he had to stop here, and Bu Liuguli arrived at Tongguan after breaking through Huazhou, and attacked Tongguan for two consecutive days After no results, he had to stop attacking and wait for the opportunity.

For Leather Leopard and Buliu Guli

Say, what's the timing?It was the Yellow River that was frozen. They could only wait for the Yellow River to be frozen. They wanted to cross the river but there were no boats. Xue Andu had collected a large number of boats and transported them to Fenglingdu.

In the blink of an eye, it was the first month of [-]. With the temperature gradually warming up, it was impossible for Bu Liuguli and Pi Baozi to freeze the Yellow River, so they had to organize craftsmen to build ships on the Weishui River.

Qianjing.

The lights in the bedroom were flickering. Zhao Junsheng sat at the table and gnawed on a chicken leg. Hua Mulan sat opposite and poured him a glass of wine, asking, "Have you decided?"

Zhao Junsheng gnawed on the chicken leg and said vaguely: "It's decided, I will send troops to Yunzhong, and I will lead the army to go there myself. Let's deal with Lai Daqian first!"

Hua Mulan thought for a while and felt it was wrong, "What about Tongguan and Hedong? Buliuli and Pibaozi have 7 troops in total. Don't think that Tongguan is a natural danger. If Buliuli doesn't hesitate Tongguan will not be able to guard the lives of soldiers for long!"

Zhao Junsheng took a sip of wine and said: "I know all this, that's why I ordered Xue Andu, Zhang Xing and the others to defend to the death. What is a defense? Even if they die, they will not retreat a step! As long as the defenders are determined, Bu Liuguli and Pi It is not so easy for the leopards to capture Hedong and Tongguan!"

"What we need now is time. As long as they can hold out for two to three months, our army can take various methods to break up their joint offensive!"

Chapter 695

Hua Mulan also knew that Zhao Junsheng was right in making such a decision. Judging from the current situation in Qianguo, at most it could only support the logistics supply of two attacks, and this was extremely reluctant. Zhao Junsheng decided to send troops to Yunzhong to solve Daqian first. Careful consideration.

She was silent for a while, and asked, "Has the specific time for dispatching troops been fixed?"

Zhao Junsheng took another sip of wine and hiccupped, "The army is preparing for the expedition, and the preparations are almost done, but the date has not been set yet, I am waiting!"

Hua Mulan wondered, "What are you waiting for?"

"Waiting for Nanchao's attitude!"

On the 25th of the first lunar month, Zhao Junsheng finally received information from the secret branch of the Black Guard Jiankang that the Emperor Liu Yikang of the Southern Dynasty clearly rejected the idea of ​​jointly sending troops to attack the Qian Kingdom proposed by the envoys of the State of Wei.

The news was delivered to Qianjing in the form of Feige Chuan. After Zhao Junsheng received the news, he immediately ordered the army to move out the next day.

Fifty thousand cavalry marched on the road for a distance of more than ten miles. There were countless banners in the team, and the sound of drums and music sounded every once in a while. The marching road was boring. At this time, the military drum band played a very good role in mediating the atmosphere.

When the drums sounded, the soldiers immediately became excited.

Zhao Junsheng wore a big cloak, closed his eyes and sat on the horseback, letting the horse carry him forward.

The adoptive son Wei Jing beside him couldn't help asking doubts in his heart: "Father, my child doesn't quite understand why the foster father led the army to attack Yunzhong Road with only cavalry and no infantry. The cities of Yunzhong, Huaishuo, and Woye Town Although the city is not high and the walls are thick, if you attack the city with cavalry, you will definitely suffer heavy losses!"

It can be said that Zhao Junsheng came out in full force this time. Gao Xiu and Zhang Xing wanted to guard Bingzhou and Hedong respectively. Zhao Junsheng had sent more than 1 people to these two places before. Infantry, there are less than 2 infantry left in Qianjing at this time. This is the last barrier of Qianjing. Unless it is absolutely necessary, these [-] infantry must not move.

Zhao Junsheng heard Wei Jing's doubts and smiled and said: "There are troops to attack the city. Gao Jinzhi stationed in Pingcheng has more than 1 men, and they are all infantry! And Gao Xiu of Bingzhou also has infantry in his hands. If the troops for attacking the city are insufficient, they can still be dispatched from Bingzhou! Now Bingzhou has not yet received the attack, and Xi Juan’s troops are still on their way. According to the news from the black guards, he brought about [-] troops this time. People, Gao Xiu's troops are more than enough to defend against him! In fact, what I'm most worried about is Xue Andu's side. He may be attacked by Bu Liuguli and Pi Leopard at the same time. His pressure is too great !"

Wei Jing thought for a while and asked again: "Why didn't the adoptive father lead the army south and go west out of Tongguan to attack Pibaozi and Buliuguli?"

Zhao Junsheng said: "There are three reasons. Now I will only tell you the first two, and you can think about the last one yourself: First, there are two roads from Qianjing to Tongguan. One is to cross the river south to Henan and go west all the way out of Tongguan. The second is to cross the Taihang Mountains after going south, and cross the river from the east to Guanzhong. No matter which road is the long way, especially with such a large cavalry team in our army, crossing the river and crossing the mountains is extremely difficult and time-consuming; Second, such a large-scale southward march of our army will definitely arouse the vigilance of the Southern Dynasties, and it may make them misunderstand that we are going south to attack them. They originally had no intention of jointly sending troops to attack our country, but if our army goes south on a large scale, maybe it will!"

There was a third reason that Zhao Junsheng didn't mention, and Wei Jing couldn't figure it out by himself.

"The foster father's idea must be to fight all the way to the west, first take down Yunzhong, and then move westward to attack the two towns of Huaishuo and Woye, so as to solve the problem of Lai Daqian; then the army will move south and cross the Hetao area. Henan went down to fight Xi Juan, under the attack of Yifu and Gao Xiu, Xi Juan had no choice but to retreat; after Xi Juan was dealt with, the army went south to rescue Zhang Xing and Xue An, and attacked Pi Leopard and Bu Liuguli The army, finally reaching Chang'an City, must be like this!"

He is not the only one who has the same cognition as Wei Jing. Although Zhao Junsheng didn't say it, most of the generals in the army think that Zhao Junsheng should have this kind of thinking.

However, when the army arrived at the camp outside the Feihuxing Pass, Zhao Junsheng made an unexpected move.

material decision.

He called Bai Jinguang, Liang Yi, and Wei Jing over and said, "At midnight tonight, you will lead [-] cavalry to return along the original road with a month's supply of food and grass. When you reach the fork, turn south and travel day and night. Go to Xiangzhou and stand by!"

Bai Jinguang was puzzled, "Your Majesty is worried that General Xue and Old General Zhang won't be able to defend Tongguan and Hedong?"

Zhao Junsheng waved his hand: "Don't ask so many questions, just follow the order!"

"Yes!"

In the middle of the night, Bai Jinguang, Liang Yi, Wei Jing and others took a month's worth of dry food and led an army of [-] to return along the original road.

Early the next morning, Zhao Junsheng led his army through the Feihuxing Pass to Pingcheng for reinforcements.

After two days of marching, the army arrived at Yangyuan, east of Pingcheng. At this time, Pingcheng was being attacked by Lai Daqian's army.

Zhao Junsheng led the army to take a rest outside Yangyuan City, and ordered the magistrate of Yangyuan County to report the battle in Pingcheng.

"Chen Yangyuan county magistrate Xiang Yuan pays homage to the king!"

Zhao Junsheng looked at the county magistrate in front of him and asked, "When did the people who came to Daqian arrive at Pingcheng, and when did they start attacking the city?"

"Back to the king, I arrived five days ago, and I have been besieging the city for more than three days! According to the information I got, Pingcheng is still safe, and I haven't made any progress since coming to Daqian!"

The county magistrate Xiang Yuan's report was basically the same as the black guard's report. Zhao Junsheng was relieved that he would not be able to defeat Lai Daqian, who had 1 frontier cavalry, with more than [-] infantry in the wild. But if you want to defend the high-walled Pingcheng with [-] infantry, even if you come to Daqian with an army of [-], you will be caught blind outside Pingcheng.
