Seiwa
Chapter 60 Master Beiping
Meng Qing and Shen Xuan went to the outskirts of Daning together. Seeing Shen Xuan's methodical arrangement of ambush locations and arranging offensive commands, and seeing the fierce expressions of Yan soldiers and their eagerness to fight, it was completely predictable. There is no return.
Meeting someone like King Yan, even King Ning, is doomed to tragedy.
In Daning City, King Ning didn't know that he was being targeted by a group of vicious kidnappers, so he took the revised memorial and went to see Zhu Di again.
Zhu Di had been fooled by drunkenness twice before, but this time he couldn't say anything.
Things can be one or two, not over and over again.
King Ning is not interested in playing wrestling games with King Yan anymore, and made up his mind that if King Yan continues to play tricks, don't blame him for not caring about brotherhood.
If you don't tie up Zhu Di and send him to Nanjing, you have to teach him a lesson. Do you really think you can't see that he is acting?
There is no need to bear it anymore, King Ning is already in a state of eruption at any time.
Unexpectedly, seeing the menacing Zhu Quan, Zhu Di did not pounce on him as drunk as usual, but apologized to his brother with neat clothes and a clear face, saying that he was really depressed and helpless during this period of time. He vented everywhere, and when he came to the brother, he couldn't help but relax, and only then did he lose his composure.I hope King Ning doesn't mind, he apologized to his brother first.
King Ning didn't realize it for a while, which play is Zhu Di singing?
King Yan deliberately ignored King Ning's expression, looked at the memorabilia in his hand, and asked: "This, is this the memoir written by my virtuous brother to the court?"
"Exactly."
No matter what idea King Yan has, the most important thing is business.King Ning put aside the doubts in his heart for a while, and handed the memorial to King Yan. Seeing that the two people who often followed King Yan were gone, he subconsciously asked.
"Brother ordered them to leave the city." King Yan said, "Brother has been in the city for a long time, and the military camp outside the city must make some arrangements."
King Ning nodded and didn't continue to ask, but he always felt that something was wrong. Was he thinking too much?
Facts have proved that King Ning has a keen sense of danger, but when he realized it, things were irreversible.
There is always a complete set for the play, knowing that there is no chance of sending this memorial to Nanjing, Zhu Di read every word seriously, and then thanked King Ning again.
"Brother, I really don't know what to say!"
"I don't need to talk about it, brother, this is what my younger brother should do."
After the issue of memorials was resolved, King Ning considered how to ask King Yan to leave.I don't want King Yan to be particularly sensible today, so he took the initiative to leave without waiting for King Ning to say anything.
"For bothering these days, it's time for my brother to leave. The family is not peaceful, and I have to go back."
King Ning was very clear about what the "unevenness" in King Yan's mouth was referring to.
It is no secret that the imperial court's 50 troops besieged Beiping City. King Ning heard the news that Beiping City was almost breached at night. For some unknown reason, the southern army that almost entered the city was beaten back by the defenders.
Since then, the imperial army has been stationed outside the city, neither withdrawing nor attacking the city, forming a confrontation with the defenders inside the city.
Without witnessing the actual situation with his own eyes, King Ning really couldn't guess what Li Jinglong's plan was.
Is it possible to besiege Beiping and wait until the city runs out of ammunition and food before making plans?
It would be foolish to do so.Didn't Beiping really become an isolated city? Li Jinglong has no brains, so his generals won't collectively become idiots, right?
When King Yan returned to his army for reinforcements, the imperial army might be in trouble.
Lose both?For myself, this is not necessarily a bad thing.
King Ning looked at King Yan who said goodbye to him sincerely, and made up his mind.
"My brother will leave tomorrow, and my virtuous brother is busy with everything, so there is no need to send me off."
King Yan asked King Ning to go out of the city to see him off, but King Ning might still hesitate and asked Zhu Quan, the master, not to go out of the city, but King Ning could not follow the trend and nod.
My brother came to join me, but I didn't help with a big job, and I don't know if I can help with a small job.In the end, my brother was leaving, so I didn't even give it away, it was too unreasonable, and it didn't sound good to spread it.
Thinking of this, King Ning hurriedly said: "Brother's words are too outrageous, I must go out of the city to see you off."
The king of Yan said that there is no need, my brother should stay in the city, my brother understands your difficulties.
King Ning shook his head vigorously, send it, must send it, and send it all the way to the suburbs!
King Yan was full of emotion, and he grabbed King Ning's hand, "Good brother!"
King Ning's eyes turned red, "The memorandum was sent to Nanjing, the imperial court does not know whether the elder brother can be pardoned, but my younger brother really feels... Sigh!"
Needless to say deep down, silence speaks louder than words at this moment, and the two brothers hugged each other again and cried.
One was crying and thinking, after pretending to be melancholy for so long, it was finally time to see the dawn of victory.
The other was also thinking while crying. After so many days of enduring, he finally didn't have to bear it any longer.
The next day, a heavy snow fell outside Daning City.
The cold wind rolled the snowflakes, and the sky and the earth became silvery white.
On the outskirts of Daning, Meng Qinghe added a cotton coat, but his hands and feet were still cold and his face was a little stiff.
The power of the Little Ice Age was astonishing. Before the worst period, the weather would be so cold. In a few decades, the north would be extremely cold, the south would continue to rain, and the whole country would experience frequent floods and droughts, coupled with frequent earthquakes. What would a huge country look like?
After sneezing, Meng Twelve Lang rubbed his nose and made up his mind that no matter what, Zheng He's fleet must go to America and bring back potatoes and sweet potatoes.At worst, take a risk and find a way to convince Emperor Yongle that Emperor Jianwen has escaped to sea.Anyway, there has long been a saying in history that Zheng He's seven voyages to the West, the first six times were all to find Emperor Jianwen who died in the palace fire.
A gust of cold wind blew by, Meng Qinghe patted his face hard a few times, put his hands around his mouth, and the hot air he exhaled didn't make his cold fingers feel any better.
Why hasn't the target appeared yet?If you continue to stay here, if you don't wait for King Ning, you will freeze to death.
Just as he was thinking, a cloak suddenly covered him, and the body temperature with the familiar cold fragrance hugged him from behind.
He turned his head and moved his lips in surprise, "Commander Shen?"
In the eyes full of silver and white, the handsome face seemed to melt into the ice and snow, and the black-colored eyebrows and eyes became the only color.
Meng Qinghe shivered, subconsciously touched the big hand clasped around his waist, and then felt amused by the previous thought. He was obviously a big living person, so how could he have no temperature?
Shen Xuan took a look at Meng Qinghe, and tightened the arms around Meng Qinghe's waist. With some strength, he pinched Meng Qinghe's waist with his fingers, "Be honest, don't move."
The deep words quickly dissipated in the wind and snow. Meng Twelve Lang thought his heartbeat would soar two hundred again, and he put one hand on his chest, but everything was normal.
Immunized?
Or are you used to it?
He frowned, and before he could figure it out, a group of people had already walked up ahead, and the Panlong uniforms and cloaks on the heads of the two were particularly eye-catching.
The Yan army ambushing around immediately cheered up, like a pack of wolves waiting for their prey for a long time, their eyes glowing green with hunger.
Meng Qinghe also suppressed his sudden thoughts.
After being in the cold for so long, you can't go wrong at the last minute.
King Ning sent King Yan to the suburbs all the way, and was led into the trap that King Yan had set before he knew it.
"Brother, my younger brother can only send you here." King Ning said, "The memorial to the court will be delivered as soon as my younger brother returns to the city. I can't help my elder brother with more, I can only express my guilt."
Sweeping through the snowdrift not far away, King Yan suddenly smiled, swept away the gloomy expression on his face, and his tone suddenly changed, "In that case, how about if the younger brother and the elder brother rise up together to calm the situation, Qingjun side?"
what?
Hearing what King Yan said, King Ning was a little silly.
When he was in the city, King Yan resolutely didn't mention this matter, why did he leave so quickly, instead holding himself to rebel together?
King Ning's heart skipped a beat, realizing that something was wrong, but it was too late.King Yan gave an order, and the ambushed Yan army suddenly jumped out of their hiding place and surrounded King Ning and his guards who were seeing him off.
"Brother Wang, why is this?" King Ning's face darkened, "This is not your Beiping!"
King Yan didn't speak, and motioned Ning Dynasty to look behind him.It turned out that most of the guards who followed him out of the city had already been captured, and the few who resisted were also knocked down with three punches and two kicks, with a knife resting on their necks, their noses and faces swollen, and they were no longer able to resist.
While King Ning was trapped, the situation in Daning City also changed.Prince Ning's Mansion was controlled by the Mongolian cavalry who had taken refuge with King Yan, and the guards of the Palace were also arrested and killed. The officials of the Palace were also not spared.
Commander Zhu Jian loyal to King Ning died in battle, and King Ning's wives, concubines and children were "protected".Sanbao, who was dressed in Mongolian cavalry uniform, walked up to Princess Ning and Prince Ning's eldest son Zhu Panxuan, and saluted respectfully, "The princess and son were so tired that I was frightened, and our family apologized."
Concubine Ning didn't speak, Zhu Panxuan was full of anger and cursed loudly: "You eunuch!"
After scolding, he was still not relieved, so he drew out his short knife and wanted to cut three guarantees with his hands.
Being stopped by the Mongolian cavalry with scabbards, Zhu Panxuan was furious, "You guys!"
Concubine Ning grabbed her son. Although she was not born as a general like Concubine Yan, she was also not a delicate woman.The prince's misfortune and fortune are unpredictable when he is out of the city, and the palace is also surrounded. Anger can't solve any problems.
"Ma listen to the matter," Princess Ning's voice was very soft, "Is everything alright with my lord?"
"Back to the princess, everything is fine with His Royal Highness Prince Ning."
"That's good." Concubine Ning pulled Zhu Panxuan who was still unconvinced, "Don't mess around, wait for your father to come back."
San Bao saw that the situation in the palace had been settled, Princess Ning was so calm, her attitude became more respectful.A Duoyan guard who didn't want to surround the palace suddenly stepped forward and said in unproficient Chinese: "The palace beheads, the captured guards are counted as sheep!"
Sanbao: "..."
He raised his long eyebrows, "It doesn't count?"
"Forget it, of course." Sanbao twitched the corner of his mouth, "But we have to wait for the prince to come back and calculate together."
"it is good!"
The strong Mongolian man nodded, took out a few pieces of paper and a piece of charcoal from his arms, solemnly recorded the number of cattle and sheep that could be exchanged for this battle, and took Sanbao to press his fingerprints.
"This, our family can't decide..."
"kindness?"
"It's okay, let's press."
San Bao cried, and the brawny men were satisfied.
Princess Ning and Zhu Panxuan were dumbfounded.
Is this how these Mongolian cavalry who have followed King Ning for many years were bought?
How would the lord feel when he found out?
Maybe it's better not to let the prince know.
In this way, King Yan successfully poached King Ning's corner with cattle, sheep and pastures that would not be cashed in. When he returned to Daning City, the roles of host and guest had been reversed.Seeing that the overall situation has been settled, King Ning did not make unnecessary resistance, and his family is "protected", so what effect can the order to mobilize the Songting Pass army be?
Even Zhu Di dared to rebel, so it shouldn't be difficult to cut off his brother's head.
After figuring it out, King Ning expressed his willingness to unite with King Yan to calm the difficulties and rebel together.
King Yan was very happy, and immediately said, "When the matter is completed, you and I will share the world together!"
Although it was just a verbal promise, King Ning was very excited and immediately devoted himself to the great cause of rebellion.
The pies drawn by King Yan are so tempting that King Ning makes a serious mistake. He forgets how much Zhu Laosi resembles their father.
Zhu Yuanzhang likes to print money indiscriminately. Zhu Di inherited his father's hobby and carried it forward. In addition to printing money, he also likes to write bad checks.
But Zhu Quan should also be comforted, he was not Zhu Di's only victim, except for Duoyan Sanwei who was also deceived, Zhu Di's own son was the worst victim.
What son of a poor health?
If Zhu Gaoxu knew Zhu Di better, he would definitely bang his head against the wall, why is he so honest, he is so stupid and naive!
Successfully captured Daning City, formed a rebel alliance with King Ning, and King Yan led Duoyan Sanwei to attack Songting Pass.
The gatekeeper of Songting Gate opened the city gate without too much resistance, King Ning is in the hands of King Yan, why is he resisting?Just join the rebel team.
After taking down Songting Pass, the army in the hands of King Yan further expanded.
The number of Yanshan defenders has also increased from less than 5000 to 1. Although there is still a certain gap between the oldest left-back, right-back and avant-garde, it is no longer comparable to the Yanshan central defender led by Qiu Fu. up and down.
Immediately, King Yan led his troops into Huizhou, where he reorganized the army and established five armies. Each army appointed a chief general and two deputy generals.
Zhang Yu will be in the middle army, Shen Xuan and Zheng Heng will be the left and right lieutenants.
Zhu Neng led the left army, with Zhu Rong and Li Jun as his deputy.
Li Bin led the right army, with Xu Li and Meng Shan as his deputy.
Xu Zhong led the front army, with Chen Wen and Wu Da as his deputy.
Fang Kuan served as the rear army, and He Yunzhong and Mao Zheng served as deputy generals.
At first, the King of Yan considered making He Shou the deputy general of the Chinese army, but He Shou had not performed well since the Battle of Seizing the Gate in Beiping, and he made frequent moves in private, which made the King of Yan vigilant.
The most taboo thing for the superiors is to link up with subordinates, especially the linking up of generals.
Forming cliques behind Lao Tzu's back, what do you want to do, kid? !
In fact, He Shou really didn't want to do anything. If he really wanted to rebel against Zhu Di and join the court, he wouldn't do it so obviously.
The so-called formation of cliques is just to fight for a greater right to speak in the army.As an old man who followed King Yan, Zhang Yuzhu was not as good as him, but Shen Xuan and Zheng Heng, the latecomers, really made He Shou feel uneasy.
In normal times, He Shou's approach is understandable.But what time is it?The king of Yan was raising his flag to rebel, so this move seemed greatly inappropriate.
Suspicious by the king of Yan and put a question mark on him, He Shou is doomed to be farther and farther away from the center of power.
As a result, Shen Xuan, Zheng Heng and others came from behind. Among the five armies, He Shou didn't even get a lieutenant general, so he could only continue to accept the inspection as the commander of the Yanshan vanguard.What made He Shou even more unacceptable was that Meng Twelve Lang, who could not even keep up with his force value by a fraction, would soon be equal to him in a short time!
No matter how unconvinced He Shou was, he didn't dare to fight against the pressure of King Yan, so he could only vent his anger on the southern army.
He fought more bravely and made many military exploits, but gradually changed King Yan's opinion of him, and finally got rid of the title of Tongzhi in the later period of Jingnan and was promoted to command.
Can it be regarded as a coincidence, a blessing in disguise?
The army has been expanded, and half of the Yan army in Daning City has been evacuated. It is really a shotgun replacement, which is not comparable to the past.
Under the king's banner, tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry and a large number of frontier troops accustomed to battle were assembled, together with the firearms looted from King Ning, King Yan was very confident, and with a big wave of his hand, he ordered to return to Beiping.
Li Jinglong dared to lead troops to raid his lair, he must be taught a lesson!
Meng Twelve Lang, who made great contributions in Daning City, was often summoned by King Yan to talk to him on the way.When King Yan discussed the battle plan with the generals, he was also fortunate to attend.
In the Yan army, Meng Qinghe's status quietly changed again.
It is no longer just because of the appreciation of the eldest son, but directly from King Yan, the biggest boss.
Everyone can not buy the son's account, but they can't ignore King Yan's attitude.
Needless to say, the same level and the lower level, even the commander at the first level began to call Meng Twelve Lang brothers.Faced with this situation, it is not enough to be flattered, but it is necessary to deal with it carefully, and Meng Qinghe is also very familiar with it.
Zhang Yu was defending an important area on the outskirts of Beiping, and Shen Xuan and Zheng Heng, who were lieutenants, temporarily commanded the central army on his behalf.
Zheng Heng saw Meng Qinghe in Shen Xuan's tent more than once, seeing Shen Xuan taking good care of Meng Qinghe, he couldn't help but think, Shen Xuan is really extraordinary, maybe it wasn't intentional, but Meng Qian was appreciated by the prince, and he was grateful to Shen Xuan Xuan's help in the past will definitely be rewarded.
It must be admitted that Zheng Heng's conclusions also represent the thoughts of most people in the army.
Unfortunately, the answers to the questions are often quite far from the so-called "truth".
Inspired by Shen Xuan's actions, the commanders and lieutenants of each army began to respect the corporals and care about the soldiers.
Embarrassed to sleep in his tent because of the loud snoring?
It's okay, he purrs louder.
Sweaty?
It doesn't matter, he has sweaty feet!
The soldier still wanted to struggle, but the Shangguan glared at him. All for the sake of the prince, he had to sleep in Lao Tzu's tent!
The soldier who was grabbed by the collar suddenly burst into tears.
The movement was so loud that King Yan was alarmed. Knowing the cause and effect, King Yan specially praised Commander Shen, "Well done! If you are so united, don't worry about things not being done."
Generals and officers must be careful, care about the soldiers, and always teach them to be loyal to themselves, which is a good thing, a great thing.
Lieutenant General Shen who was praised did not speak, his expression was very subtle.
Should it be explained?
Let's continue to misunderstand.
Since then, Meng Twelve Lang has completely taken root in Shen Xuan's tent, and it is impossible to move anywhere.
King Yan was on his way back to the army, and the offensive and defensive battle of Beiping City was coming to an end.
Zhu Gaochi's night attack plan almost led to the city being broken by the Southern Army, and the young prince's heart skipped a beat.
Fortunately, Li Jinglong competed with his subordinates and dragged Qu Neng's hind legs, otherwise, this strong general who had fought with Lan Yu would have already entered the city.
After the sudden heavy snow forced the southern army to retreat, Zhu Gaochi did not dare to continue to support him. He consulted the princess and Dao Yan for advice, and carried water to the top of the city overnight. With the help of heavy snow and cold wind, a thick layer of ice was frozen on the city wall.
In just one night, the city wall changed.
With such thick ice, the ladder can only slide down, and attack the city?You should thank God for not being frozen on the city wall to make ice sculptures.
After a tentative attack, the Southern Army fully saw the insidiousness of the defenders.
The defenders at the top of the city no longer pushed down the huge wooden boulders or shot arrows, but each carried a bucket of water. The soldiers who attacked the city climbed halfway, pouring down the water with icy debris, and the cold wind blew by. The humanoid ice sculpture was instantly released.
The war is no longer bloody, and the defenders have become artists.The Southern Army, who was forced to act as a work of art, couldn't tell the hardships. They were frozen on the ladder and could still think of a way. What about the ones hanging on the city wall?
Shovel it down?
Wait until the snow melts?
How can there be life!
Li Jinglong gritted his teeth angrily, but there was still nothing he could do.
Qu Neng and the others were also full of anger, and almost broke into Beiping City but fell short. Meeting such a coach, winning the battle may be even more difficult than reaching the sky!
Hearing the news that King Yan returned to rescue Beiping, Li Jinglong no longer hesitated, and immediately issued an order to withdraw his troops.Beiping will be unable to attack for a while, so it is better to withdraw to Zhengcunba's camp first, so as not to be attacked by Zhu Di's army from inside and outside.
This decision was quite wise. During the withdrawal process, Li Jinglong ordered the governor Chen Hui to lead the cavalry to stop King Yan on the way and buy time for the army.
After receiving the order, Chen Hui nodded first, which was rare for the coach to be decisive.
Then, he frowned.
Stop King Yan?Where to stop?
Li Jinglong shook his head, "I don't know."
Chen Hui: "..." If you want to fight a war, you have to find someone first?
Grit your teeth and find someone!Didn't you also start by looking for someone when you went to the desert with the army?We are not afraid!
But since we need to find people, we must give more people, right?
Li Jinglong continued to shake his head, "Is there more than 1 people? It is more important to defend the camp."
Chen Hui was completely speechless.
If he is only given 1 people to stop King Yan's army, should he be possessed by Chang Yuchun or reincarnated by Sapphire?
If the situation didn't allow it, Dudu Chen really wanted to give Li Jinglong a big punch.He felt Qu Neng's feelings being held back by Li Jinglong.
But the order has already been issued, what else can Chen Hui do?
You can only take 1 people and set off against the wind and snow.
If you can find it, hit it, and if you can't find it, don't blame him.
At this moment, Chen Hui couldn't tell what he was thinking, whether he wanted to find King Yan's army quickly, or he didn't want to meet Zhu Di at all.
Perhaps, the latter may be more.
Sighing, if he were Zhu Di, he would have jumped up with joy when he met an opponent like Li Jinglong?
Meeting someone like King Yan, even King Ning, is doomed to tragedy.
In Daning City, King Ning didn't know that he was being targeted by a group of vicious kidnappers, so he took the revised memorial and went to see Zhu Di again.
Zhu Di had been fooled by drunkenness twice before, but this time he couldn't say anything.
Things can be one or two, not over and over again.
King Ning is not interested in playing wrestling games with King Yan anymore, and made up his mind that if King Yan continues to play tricks, don't blame him for not caring about brotherhood.

Commander Zhu Jian loyal to King Ning died in battle, and King Ning's wives, concubines and children were "protected".Sanbao, who was dressed in Mongolian cavalry uniform, walked up to Princess Ning and Prince Ning's eldest son Zhu Panxuan, and saluted respectfully, "The princess and son were so tired that I was frightened, and our family apologized."
Concubine Ning didn't speak, Zhu Panxuan was full of anger and cursed loudly: "You eunuch!"
After scolding, he was still not relieved, so he drew out his short knife and wanted to cut three guarantees with his hands.
Being stopped by the Mongolian cavalry with scabbards, Zhu Panxuan was furious, "You guys!"
Concubine Ning grabbed her son. Although she was not born as a general like Concubine Yan, she was also not a delicate woman.The prince's misfortune and fortune are unpredictable when he is out of the city, and the palace is also surrounded. Anger can't solve any problems.
"Ma listen to the matter," Princess Ning's voice was very soft, "Is everything alright with my lord?"
"Back to the princess, everything is fine with His Royal Highness Prince Ning."
"That's good." Concubine Ning pulled Zhu Panxuan who was still unconvinced, "Don't mess around, wait for your father to come back."
San Bao saw that the situation in the palace had been settled, Princess Ning was so calm, her attitude became more respectful.A Duoyan guard who didn't want to surround the palace suddenly stepped forward and said in unproficient Chinese: "The palace beheads, the captured guards are counted as sheep!"
Sanbao: "..."
He raised his long eyebrows, "It doesn't count?"
"Forget it, of course." Sanbao twitched the corner of his mouth, "But we have to wait for the prince to come back and calculate together."
"it is good!"
The strong Mongolian man nodded, took out a few pieces of paper and a piece of charcoal from his arms, solemnly recorded the number of cattle and sheep that could be exchanged for this battle, and took Sanbao to press his fingerprints.
"This, our family can't decide..."
"kindness?"
"It's okay, let's press."
San Bao cried, and the brawny men were satisfied.
Princess Ning and Zhu Panxuan were dumbfounded.
Is this how these Mongolian cavalry who have followed King Ning for many years were bought?
How would the lord feel when he found out?
Maybe it's better not to let the prince know.
In this way, King Yan successfully poached King Ning's corner with cattle, sheep and pastures that would not be cashed in. When he returned to Daning City, the roles of host and guest had been reversed.Seeing that the overall situation has been settled, King Ning did not make unnecessary resistance, and his family is "protected", so what effect can the order to mobilize the Songting Pass army be?
Even Zhu Di dared to rebel, so it shouldn't be difficult to cut off his brother's head.
After figuring it out, King Ning expressed his willingness to unite with King Yan to calm the difficulties and rebel together.
King Yan was very happy, and immediately said, "When the matter is completed, you and I will share the world together!"
Although it was just a verbal promise, King Ning was very excited and immediately devoted himself to the great cause of rebellion.
The pies drawn by King Yan are so tempting that King Ning makes a serious mistake. He forgets how much Zhu Laosi resembles their father.
Zhu Yuanzhang likes to print money indiscriminately. Zhu Di inherited his father's hobby and carried it forward. In addition to printing money, he also likes to write bad checks.
But Zhu Quan should also be comforted, he was not Zhu Di's only victim, except for Duoyan Sanwei who was also deceived, Zhu Di's own son was the worst victim.
What son of a poor health?
If Zhu Gaoxu knew Zhu Di better, he would definitely bang his head against the wall, why is he so honest, he is so stupid and naive!
Successfully captured Daning City, formed a rebel alliance with King Ning, and King Yan led Duoyan Sanwei to attack Songting Pass.
The gatekeeper of Songting Gate opened the city gate without too much resistance, King Ning is in the hands of King Yan, why is he resisting?Just join the rebel team.
After taking down Songting Pass, the army in the hands of King Yan further expanded.
The number of Yanshan defenders has also increased from less than 5000 to 1. Although there is still a certain gap between the oldest left-back, right-back and avant-garde, it is no longer comparable to the Yanshan central defender led by Qiu Fu. up and down.
Immediately, King Yan led his troops into Huizhou, where he reorganized the army and established five armies. Each army appointed a chief general and two deputy generals.
Zhang Yu will be in the middle army, Shen Xuan and Zheng Heng will be the left and right lieutenants.
Zhu Neng led the left army, with Zhu Rong and Li Jun as his deputy.
Li Bin led the right army, with Xu Li and Meng Shan as his deputy.
Xu Zhong led the front army, with Chen Wen and Wu Da as his deputy.
Fang Kuan served as the rear army, and He Yunzhong and Mao Zheng served as deputy generals.
At first, the King of Yan considered making He Shou the deputy general of the Chinese army, but He Shou had not performed well since the Battle of Seizing the Gate in Beiping, and he made frequent moves in private, which made the King of Yan vigilant.
The most taboo thing for the superiors is to link up with subordinates, especially the linking up of generals.
Forming cliques behind Lao Tzu's back, what do you want to do, kid? !
In fact, He Shou really didn't want to do anything. If he really wanted to rebel against Zhu Di and join the court, he wouldn't do it so obviously.
The so-called formation of cliques is just to fight for a greater right to speak in the army.As an old man who followed King Yan, Zhang Yuzhu was not as good as him, but Shen Xuan and Zheng Heng, the latecomers, really made He Shou feel uneasy.
In normal times, He Shou's approach is understandable.But what time is it?The king of Yan was raising his flag to rebel, so this move seemed greatly inappropriate.
Suspicious by the king of Yan and put a question mark on him, He Shou is doomed to be farther and farther away from the center of power.
As a result, Shen Xuan, Zheng Heng and others came from behind. Among the five armies, He Shou didn't even get a lieutenant general, so he could only continue to accept the inspection as the commander of the Yanshan vanguard.What made He Shou even more unacceptable was that Meng Twelve Lang, who could not even keep up with his force value by a fraction, would soon be equal to him in a short time!
No matter how unconvinced He Shou was, he didn't dare to fight against the pressure of King Yan, so he could only vent his anger on the southern army.
He fought more bravely and made many military exploits, but gradually changed King Yan's opinion of him, and finally got rid of the title of Tongzhi in the later period of Jingnan and was promoted to command.
Can it be regarded as a coincidence, a blessing in disguise?
The army has been expanded, and half of the Yan army in Daning City has been evacuated. It is really a shotgun replacement, which is not comparable to the past.
Under the king's banner, tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry and a large number of frontier troops accustomed to battle were assembled, together with the firearms looted from King Ning, King Yan was very confident, and with a big wave of his hand, he ordered to return to Beiping.
Li Jinglong dared to lead troops to raid his lair, he must be taught a lesson!
Meng Twelve Lang, who made great contributions in Daning City, was often summoned by King Yan to talk to him on the way.When King Yan discussed the battle plan with the generals, he was also fortunate to attend.
In the Yan army, Meng Qinghe's status quietly changed again.
It is no longer just because of the appreciation of the eldest son, but directly from King Yan, the biggest boss.
Everyone can not buy the son's account, but they can't ignore King Yan's attitude.
Needless to say, the same level and the lower level, even the commander at the first level began to call Meng Twelve Lang brothers.Faced with this situation, it is not enough to be flattered, but it is necessary to deal with it carefully, and Meng Qinghe is also very familiar with it.
Zhang Yu was defending an important area on the outskirts of Beiping, and Shen Xuan and Zheng Heng, who were lieutenants, temporarily commanded the central army on his behalf.
Zheng Heng saw Meng Qinghe in Shen Xuan's tent more than once, seeing Shen Xuan taking good care of Meng Qinghe, he couldn't help but think, Shen Xuan is really extraordinary, maybe it wasn't intentional, but Meng Qian was appreciated by the prince, and he was grateful to Shen Xuan Xuan's help in the past will definitely be rewarded.
It must be admitted that Zheng Heng's conclusions also represent the thoughts of most people in the army.
Unfortunately, the answers to the questions are often quite far from the so-called "truth".
Inspired by Shen Xuan's actions, the commanders and lieutenants of each army began to respect the corporals and care about the soldiers.
Embarrassed to sleep in his tent because of the loud snoring?
It's okay, he purrs louder.
Sweaty?
It doesn't matter, he has sweaty feet!
The soldier still wanted to struggle, but the Shangguan glared at him. All for the sake of the prince, he had to sleep in Lao Tzu's tent!
The soldier who was grabbed by the collar suddenly burst into tears.
The movement was so loud that King Yan was alarmed. Knowing the cause and effect, King Yan specially praised Commander Shen, "Well done! If you are so united, don't worry about things not being done."
Generals and officers must be careful, care about the soldiers, and always teach them to be loyal to themselves, which is a good thing, a great thing.
Lieutenant General Shen who was praised did not speak, his expression was very subtle.
Should it be explained?
Let's continue to misunderstand.
Since then, Meng Twelve Lang has completely taken root in Shen Xuan's tent, and it is impossible to move anywhere.
King Yan was on his way back to the army, and the offensive and defensive battle of Beiping City was coming to an end.
Zhu Gaochi's night attack plan almost led to the city being broken by the Southern Army, and the young prince's heart skipped a beat.
Fortunately, Li Jinglong competed with his subordinates and dragged Qu Neng's hind legs, otherwise, this strong general who had fought with Lan Yu would have already entered the city.
After the sudden heavy snow forced the southern army to retreat, Zhu Gaochi did not dare to continue to support him. He consulted the princess and Dao Yan for advice, and carried water to the top of the city overnight. With the help of heavy snow and cold wind, a thick layer of ice was frozen on the city wall.
In just one night, the city wall changed.
With such thick ice, the ladder can only slide down, and attack the city?You should thank God for not being frozen on the city wall to make ice sculptures.
After a tentative attack, the Southern Army fully saw the insidiousness of the defenders.
The defenders at the top of the city no longer pushed down the huge wooden boulders or shot arrows, but each carried a bucket of water. The soldiers who attacked the city climbed halfway, pouring down the water with icy debris, and the cold wind blew by. The humanoid ice sculpture was instantly released.
The war is no longer bloody, and the defenders have become artists.The Southern Army, who was forced to act as a work of art, couldn't tell the hardships. They were frozen on the ladder and could still think of a way. What about the ones hanging on the city wall?
Shovel it down?
Wait until the snow melts?
How can there be life!
Li Jinglong gritted his teeth angrily, but there was still nothing he could do.
Qu Neng and the others were also full of anger, and almost broke into Beiping City but fell short. Meeting such a coach, winning the battle may be even more difficult than reaching the sky!
Hearing the news that King Yan returned to rescue Beiping, Li Jinglong no longer hesitated, and immediately issued an order to withdraw his troops.Beiping will be unable to attack for a while, so it is better to withdraw to Zhengcunba's camp first, so as not to be attacked by Zhu Di's army from inside and outside.
This decision was quite wise. During the withdrawal process, Li Jinglong ordered the governor Chen Hui to lead the cavalry to stop King Yan on the way and buy time for the army.
After receiving the order, Chen Hui nodded first, which was rare for the coach to be decisive.
Then, he frowned.
Stop King Yan?Where to stop?
Li Jinglong shook his head, "I don't know."
Chen Hui: "..." If you want to fight a war, you have to find someone first?
Grit your teeth and find someone!Didn't you also start by looking for someone when you went to the desert with the army?We are not afraid!
But since we need to find people, we must give more people, right?
Li Jinglong continued to shake his head, "Is there more than 1 people? It is more important to defend the camp."
Chen Hui was completely speechless.
If he is only given 1 people to stop King Yan's army, should he be possessed by Chang Yuchun or reincarnated by Sapphire?
If the situation didn't allow it, Dudu Chen really wanted to give Li Jinglong a big punch.He felt Qu Neng's feelings being held back by Li Jinglong.
But the order has already been issued, what else can Chen Hui do?
You can only take 1 people and set off against the wind and snow.
If you can find it, hit it, and if you can't find it, don't blame him.
At this moment, Chen Hui couldn't tell what he was thinking, whether he wanted to find King Yan's army quickly, or he didn't want to meet Zhu Di at all.
Perhaps, the latter may be more.
Sighing, if he were Zhu Di, he would have jumped up with joy when he met an opponent like Li Jinglong?
