Chapter 322: Sima Rui, King of Langya, and Wang Xizhi, the Right General
Yang Pingfan raised his hand to draw an afterimage, a loud slap was slapped, and Wang Qiu was directly fanned away, his slap was very powerful, half of Wang Qiu's cheekbones were shattered, his teeth and blood were mixed with the ground, he fell to the ground and couldn't get up, and there was a low cheer from the crowd of onlookers.
"Since you know that I am a master, you should have a minimum of etiquette. β
Yang Pingfan walked to Wang Qiu's side and pulled him over with a kick, and his subordinates were in a commotion, wanting to rush up, and were frightened back by Xiao Liu's stick that flashed with blue electric sparks.
"An unpopular house slave is so presumptuous in front of the Taishi, is the Wang family's family style that no one is in sight? Go back and tell Wang Dun that if you want to take the things of the Taishi, he has to come in person and get out of Lao Tzu!"
When the news came back to Wang Dun, Wang Dun was so angry that he immediately entered the palace to impeach Yang Pingfan, Sima Shu listened to it, but said meaningfully: "Lord Wang, Gu just promised to let the nephew of the Wang family take charge of the forbidden army, but he didn't promise to take over the pharmaceutical factory." β
"This ...... Your Highness, the pills produced by the medicine factory are extremely valuable military supplies, and this is also to prevent other rebels from getting involved. β
"Li Xianren is Lone's closest relative, Lone can be trusted, don't meddle in this matter, just manage the forbidden army. β
Wang Dun touched a soft nail and left, Sima Shu thought about it and ordered a team of forbidden troops to be stationed in the pharmaceutical factory.
Yang Pingfan sent the private soldiers of the Wang family, and when he saw Li Lan walking towards him, he sighed, "I have seen it by force." β
"In their eyes, we are humble ants, and when we take it, we have already given face, at least we haven't killed anyone, right?"
Li Lan's tone was full of mockery.
Yang Pingfan sneered, "Since the families want to play, let's play bigger, exactly three months have passed, and it's time to test the combat effectiveness of the new army." β
Hiss!
Zhang Xiaoming next to him gasped: "Brother, you don't want to use the new army coup d'Γ©tat to wash Luoyang in blood, right?"
Yang Pingfan pushed him, "What do you want? We are civilized people, and we must pay attention to the Basic Law in doing things." In the final analysis, it's because the past few months have been calm and there are no major events, and these people are so idle that they want to toss around, so we have to arrange something. β
Zhang Xiaoming didn't know why, "Doing something, whose business is it?"
"If you want to expand your farming to a certain extent, you can use it. β
Yang Pingfan put his hand on the location of Chang'an on the map.
The next day, Yang Pingfan wrote to the regent, asking for a crusade against the king of Chengdu and the king of Changsha who were still entrenched in Chang'an, and the beating of Wang Qiu had pushed Yang Pingfan to the opposite side of the family, and the family naturally stood up against it, but Sima Shu didn't want to be just a city lord, so he agreed.
Subsequently, the two sides were at loggerheads over the number of troops to be sent and the choice of the coach.
Yang Pingfan meant to bring the new army out for a walk, but the family was unanimously opposed, saying that the new army had only been in the army for three months, and it was not the opponent of Chengdu Wang's private army at all, in order to ensure the safety of Luoyang and preserve its strength, this attack was mainly a tentative attack, and the main force should not be pulled out.
There are not many officials on Yang Pingfan's side, and he fell behind in the debate, and finally Sima Shu made a decision, and the commander was Sima Rui, the king of Langya of the Sima family, and the right general was the newly appointed Shangshu Wang Xizhi of the military department, and Yang Pingfan, the Taishi, served as the left general, leading 10,000 new troops to feint and attack Chang'an.
Hearing this arrangement, Yang Pingfan was not much dissatisfied, after all, this was the first time that the crossing team led troops to verify their achievements, and Yang Pingfan thought that Sima Shu was the product of compromise with the family.
Li Lan's face was worried, "This is not like a compromise, but like a check and balance, he wants to contain you." β
Yang Pingfan looked incredulous, "No, I'm such a duke who selflessly helped him to take the position, and he still restrained me?"
"I hope it's just that I'm thinking too much, anyway, you be careful. β
Yang Pingfan and Li Lan are whispering here, and Zhang Xiaoming over there is extremely annoyed because he was stripped of his military power, and he can't get the opportunity to go on the expedition with him, after all, he has single-handedly established a cross-era army after crossing, but he can't witness the battle with his own eyes, and the loss can be imagined.
"It's okay, you can watch the video, and then Donglai will release the drone out......"
Yang Pingfan stopped halfway through speaking, he saw Zhang Xiaoming beside the maid he saw that day, the maid's face was even more radiant, standing next to Zhang Xiaoming with an intimate expression, a gorgeous girl mixed in a bunch of serious official uniforms, not to mention how awkward it was, but Zhang Xiaoming was like no one around, and laughed with her from time to time.
"Who is this man?"
Yang Pingfan pulled Zhang Xiaoming aside and asked.
"Oh, her name is Murong Xue'e, she was recruited when she was preparing to build a factory and recruiting workers, she was considerate, smart, and literate, so I accepted her as an assistant. β
Zhang Xiaoming was triumphant, and put on an expression that you know as he spoke.
Yang Pingfan glanced at the maid again, with doubts on his face, "This person has a pair of peach blossom eyes, I don't see it right, you have to be careful, don't fall for the beauty trick." β
Zhang Xiaoming was full of confidence, "Don't worry, Xue'e is also the home of the official eunuch, only because she offended the family, we have a common enemy, and we will be fine." β
"You just have to take care of it yourself. β
After a tedious departure ceremony, the army finally opened.
Coach Sima Rui is a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, with a long face and extremely delicate, a Shu brocade robe, a gold-inlaid chain mail inside, a jade belt around his waist, a long tasseled iron helmet on his head, a snow-white pompom trembling and towering, riding on a tall snow-white war horse, looking like a little student in a singing opera from a distance.
He looked curiously at the infantry lined up on both sides, carrying muskets, and there was a sound of horses' hooves, and Yang Pingfan heard the report that the commander was looking for him, so he rushed over.
Sima Rui saw that he didn't even have armor on his body, so he casually put on a black cloak, and under his crotch was an old horse with mottled coat, and he couldn't help but have a disdainful expression on his face, and he bowed his hand slightly, and said hello.
Yang Pingfan saw Sima Rui's expression, and he didn't care, and returned the salute, "What is the boss looking for me?"
"Master Taishi, do we rely on these burning sticks to fight?"
Sima Rui's voice was crisp.
"Back to the boss, that's a musket, not a burning stick. β
"How do they hurt the enemy, by spells?"
Yang Pingfan didn't want to continue to have a relationship with this turtle prince, "I'll know then, boss." If there is nothing to do, I will retire first, there are many things to do on the march, please understand. β
Sima Rui called Yang Pingfan over, the real purpose was to let Yang Pingfan give him a musket to play with, but he didn't expect Yang Pingfan to be so unpopular, he was unhappy, snorted, looked Yang Pingfan's head and the old horse under his crotch up and down, and suddenly smiled: "Lord Yang is both a master and a general Zuo, this costume and war horse are too shabby, presumably because he has been in office for a short time, and he has no time to buy it, right?
Sima Rui's words were concerned on the surface, but in fact he was ridiculing Yang Pingfan's poor background, promoted too fast, and didn't even have the corresponding line, Yang Pingfan smiled faintly, "Boss Xie is kind, being able to ride an inferior horse is one of the necessary conditions for the marching commander and a good general, and the other condition is that commanding the army is like an arm and a finger, and the line or something is just bells and whistles." β
Sima Rui's face was so red that he was choked, Yang Pingfan said goodbye and left, and suddenly asked: "Your Highness, do you have a little official surnamed Niu in your family?"
As soon as these words came out, Sima Rui's face changed greatly.
ββ
When Empress Jia, in the name of the emperor of the dynasty, issued a holy decree to summon the king of Chengdu to Beijing, his heart was ecstatic, and he finally had a chance to get involved in the Central Plains.
But he didn't expect to lose his troops and lose his generals, his hometown was stolen by homeless people, and Shu couldn't go back, so he could only occupy Chang'an with the king of Changsha, who was also a clan.
Chang'an is one of the accompanying capitals of the Jin Dynasty, although it is not as prosperous as Luoyang, but it is also a first-class city, and the grain and grass are also abundant. In addition to his own private army, the fiefdom of the king of Changsha is next to Yunmengze, poor mountains and bad waters, not elite, naturally the king of Chengdu is the first to look forward, just when the king of Chengdu is developing with his own Xu Tu, when the world changes, Tanma reported, Sima Shu, who was entrenched in Luoyang, actually launched an active attack on him.
Take the initiative to attack, according to the scout's report, Sima Shu actually only sent 10,000 people, which is simply an insult to himself, you must know that even if you lose your troops and lose your generals, you live in Chang'an, and you have nearly 100,000 horses in your hands, "Sima Shu Xiaoer, self-proclaimed regent, really thinks that he is invincible in the world, this king sees that he is a lard blindfolded, since he wants to fight, this king will accompany him." β
The king of Chengdu sneered, and decided to give Sima Shu a profound lesson, take the initiative to attack, eat these 10,000 people, and transfer most of the troops, and prepare for attack under Chang'an City......
The mobilization of the king's troops and horses, including the secret exit from the city, how to set up an ambush position in Nagasaka, and how the reserve team went around the back to prepare to kick the ass, were all watched by Li Donglai in every detail.
Two electrically driven drones with ultra-long endurance kept hovering in the air, constantly transmitting information back, and Li Donglai sent the information back to the front line, so that Yang Pingfan could make targeted deployments.
Sima Rui and Wang Xizhi didn't understand the layout of the march at all, although they were called the commander and the right general, the actual march was all handled by Yang Pingfan and Zu Ti.
The two of them have been staying in the Chinese army, drinking and talking every day, and at first they thought that this was just a simple armed parade, because no one would have thought that Yang Pingfan would dare to take 10,000 people to meet the 100,000 army, and at most a sneak attack on a county town would be considered a complete task.
When Yang Pingfan raised the big tent, introduced the military situation, and the 100,000 troops that the scouts reported to the king of Chengdu had already wrapped over from the two wings, the two of them were stunned.
"What, you said that the whole army of the king of Chengdu was dispatched, is it wrong, he doesn't even want Chang'an?"
Yang Pingfan smiled and groaned, "Yes, Your Highness." β
Crash!
