Chapter 144: Mid-Lane Mutation
With such a strange victory, Yun Sheng himself couldn't believe it, let alone others.
Zhou Jie can't manage so much, a big victory is a big victory, before the southern army arrived at the destination, his own Zhennan army drove the enemy out of the border, such a battle exploit, must be reported. It's a pity that he didn't go to the battlefield in person, otherwise his merits would have been greater. At the time of Yun Sheng's victory, he was still inspecting the county city defense with many local officials, and there were too many tongues that could confirm that he was not on the scene, making it really difficult for him to encroach on Yun Sheng's military exploits.
When the good news reached Changshan, Wen Ze and Ling Shanhe frowned, because this big victory was as bizarre as Gao Yuanfeng's side. With the strength of a brigade, they fought against a strong army led by the opponent's famous general, and they also won a decisive victory.
What's even more bizarre is that they are all from the Huangfu lineage. Yun Sheng is Gao Yuanfeng's cousin. Could it be that the people of the Huangfu family are possessed by the god of war and have the ability to turn the sky upside down? There is nothing strange in it, and no one with a clear eye believes it.
The news of the two great victories spread, and Changshan was boiling, which made Wen Ze and the others unsettled again. Wen Ze sat in Zhongshu Province, and Ling Shanhe was in charge of Menxia Province, and it was very clear that the two great victories were not officially announced, how did the market know about them, and how did they spread so quickly? Another point, public opinion praised the two young rookies as 'gods', martial arts, shocking literature, heroic battles, loyalty, and so on.
This is someone openly using public opinion to force the royal court, and if they do not greatly praise the meritorious people, it will chill the hearts of the people with lofty ideals who serve the country.
The results of the investigation of all parties were transmitted back to Changshan in turn, including the people sent by Huangfu Ying. Yes, Huang Fuying also felt a little abnormal.
Fortunately, there is no fraud, and the big victory is also true.
However, there are two things about the Bohai Sea that some people don't like. First, Gao Yuanfeng's troops were far more than his own two or three thousand and Niu Di's more than three thousand, but as high as more than ten thousand. This matter can be big or small, because if the whole number is full, Gao Yuanfeng and Niu Di can nominally recruit 10,000 people each. But without the permission of the Xia official government, he expanded the army without authorization, which was suspected of bullying the king.
Second, Guo Libin appeared in the Bohai Sea to give advice to Gao Yuanfeng, and personally went on the field to assist Gao Yuanfeng in the battle. The news said so, but the person who heard the news immediately turned the two upside down in their hearts. How could the Captain of the Nine Lives be in the position of assistant and subordinate? The real situation should be that Gao Yuanfeng acted on Guo Libin's orders.
Thinking of so many troops that Gao Yuanfeng suddenly popped out, including Huangfu Ying, the upper echelons of the Zhou Kingdom were all nervous. It is too unusual for the imperial dynasty to directly intervene in the affairs of the princes without going through the royal court.
Yun Sheng didn't have too many abnormalities here, so it can only be said that Yun Sheng took a shit luck and burned the grain and grass of the Yuanwu army in an impossible place.
Reward merit and punish transgression, this is the doctrine. It is definitely not okay to delay the issuance of praise. How to reward, but brainstorming. Because they are all related to the Huangfu family, the Huangfu Ying asked to avoid it.
As soon as Huangfu Ying left, Ling Shanhe snorted, "Hypocrisy." If she is really so selfless, then why use public opinion to force it? Now that the royal court has no choice but to award it, she pretends to be selfless. ”
Wen Ze shook his head, "Don't talk nonsense about unfounded things." Let's discuss it. ”
Long Yunyi, as the in-law of the Huangfu family, although he did not avoid it, he kept silent is golden. How to praise was mainly proposed by Wen Ze, Ling Shanhe, and Sun Shuyang, and reported to Zhou Cang for reference.
Zhou Cang didn't know whether he was dizzy, or he showed his mind to the fullest, and strongly advocated that he be rewarded with the highest standard, appointing Zhou Feiyan as the commander of the Eastern Army and reorganizing the Eastern Army; elevating Yuanfeng to the commander of the Zhendong Army and forming a new Zhendong Army; and Shengyunsheng as the commander of the Zhenxi Army to replace Zhou Feiyan's Zhenxi Army. In order to make up for the lack of four expeditions and four towns.
King Zhou, who was secretly observing, bowed his head again to express his approval. You Huangfu Ying wants the power of the soldiers, I will give it, as long as you can assist the Great Zhou and expand the territory for me.
The Ministry of Books is responsible for drafting the decree. Wen Ze didn't say a word, and did as he could.
The duty of the ministry is to audit, and there is

Right of Refusal. Ling Shanhe was about to return his will to Zhongshu Province immediately. Before the will of the refutation was out, it was blocked. The person who came turned out to be the personal eunuch next to King Zhou.
When the decree arrived in Shangshu Province, Huangfu Ying was shocked, and the reward was too much. What about fighting again and then fighting again? Isn't there no reward for nothing? Shangshu Province is an executive agency and does not have the power to refute. But Huangfu Ying still took the decree and found Ling Shanhe, Wen Ze and Zhou Can, bluntly said that the reward was excessive, and asked Zhou Cang to take back his fate.
Wen Ze means that it is none of his business, this matter is decided by His Royal Highness, and he only writes it.
Ling Shanhe pursed his lips and did not make a sound. With King Zhou as the backing, he doesn't care about Huangfu Ying's small actions. No matter how Huang Fuying jumps out, he can't jump out of King Zhou's palm.
Zhou Cang's statement showed the bearing of the hero, which greatly changed Huangfu Ying's perception of him. Zhou Cang said: "Auntie, the reward is not heavy. I'm too light. Ministers serve the country with loyalty and great merit, and the country will naturally treat them with soldiers. I am discussing the follow-up reward plan with Lord Zhongshu Ling, and I plan to use one-third of the territory captured by each army as the fief of the commander of each army. In this way, all armies were inspired to fight bravely to kill the enemy and expand their territory. ”
The emperor was shocked, once this policy was announced and implemented, the armies would indeed desperately attack outward. However, it is likely that there will be less harmony between the armies. For the royal family, this is a clever plan. For the commanders of the armies, this is not necessarily a good thing. The more territory you conquer, the stronger the envy you will encounter.
Since he couldn't refuse, Huang Fuying had no choice but to act according to the order and convey Zhou Can's will to all parties. However, she wrote a letter to Gao Yuanfeng in private, so that he did not have to covet the fiefdom.
Huangfu Ying sent a private message and was secretly monitored by King Zhou. King Zhou didn't know what Huang Fu Ying was talking about, but he paid attention to Gao Yuanfeng and Huang Fu Ying's movements.
When Huangfu Ying sent a letter to Gao Yuanfeng, Wen Ze and Long Yunyi also sent letters to Wen Chao and Huangfu successively.
The content of Wen Ze's letter is similar to that of Huangfu Ying, telling Wen Chao to make meritorious contributions.
Long Yunyi's letter seems to have nothing to do with the war, asking Huangfu Ji to change his surname as soon as possible. After sending the letter, he went to Shi Mingyang and Huang Fuyu in person, saying that it was inappropriate for his married daughter to live in her mother's house, and asked Shi Mingyang to take his daughter-in-law away. How to take it away? Of course, immediately build a stone mansion and come out. At that time, the reason why he still lived in his own house after marriage was that he didn't know where to live? Since Huangfu Ying promised Huangfu that he could change his surname to Shi, Shi Mingyang naturally did not want his daughter-in-law to marry into Huangfu's mansion.
If you want to quickly build a stone mansion, it's very simple, just buy it.
The social reality has always been like this, private messages are faster than official documents.
But the first to learn the news of Changshan was not Wen Chao, Gao Yuanfeng and Huangfu Ji, but Taifu Wu Xing.
Wu Xing twisted his beard and smiled, "It's done." Then go to find Zhou Feiyan in person.
Wu Xing's arrival made Zhou Feiyan overjoyed. Zhou Feiyan was not very worried about Chen Jun and Tianfeng Army's attack on Yingchou Mountain Pass, because she had already received the news of Gao Yuanfeng's victory in the Bohai Sea. Even if you can't defend the Eagle Sorrow Mountain Pass, you don't have to worry about the future, you can slowly retreat, clear the wall, and make it difficult for the invading enemy army to move an inch. As soon as the northern expeditionary army in the northwest direction arrived, the victory or defeat of both sides was unpredictable.
The only thing Zhou Feiyan is worried about now is the other party's superman. Wu Ying arrived with someone and just solved her problem.
Who knew that the joy brought by Wu Ying did not stop there. Wu Xing said that he personally rushed to Tianfeng and persuaded Yang Yanyin, the king of Tianfeng, that he was willing to abandon his previous suspicions with Zhou and work together to defeat Chen. At this time, it was the time to give Chen Jun a heavy blow, that is, to take advantage of Chen Kun's unpreparedness, the two sides joined forces to attack him, and annihilated Chen Kun's troops in one fell swoop.
If true, this is indeed a great joy. Zhou Feiyan didn't suspect Wu Xing, and rushed to Tianfeng in person as a superman, and Tianfeng probably had to agree if he didn't agree. But Zhou Feiyan didn't want to cooperate with Tianfeng, so he just united with Chen to calculate the 50,000 army of Zhou State, and then joined Zhou to calculate Chen Kun's army. Weakening the military strength of the two neighboring countries together, Tianfeng made a good calculation. Zhou Feiyan said that he couldn't make the decision on this matter, and he needed to report it to the royal court.
If it is reported to the royal court, it will inevitably be punished by Huangfu Ying, Ling Shanhe
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
These old foxes saw the flaw, of course Wu Xing didn't do it, and said a reason why Zhou Feiyan couldn't refuse and acted immediately.
Wu Xing said: "Tianfeng did not wipe out the army of the Zhou State, but only took prisoners and treated them well, just waiting for the Lord of Huofeng County to go and receive them. As for Tang Cizhong, Zhou Zhang and other senior generals, they were killed by the supermen of the Danxia Gang, and they had nothing to do with Tianfeng. If you wait any longer, you will inevitably be noticed by the Danxia Gang Superman. You know, under the superhuman deterrence, Tianfeng can't help but be with the snake. Therefore, please ask the county lord to go to rectify as soon as possible, and then give Chen Kun a heavy blow from Chen Jun's back, and attack Chen Jun on three sides.
You have your own direct brigade, Lutai brigade and Huangfu Jilu on your side, and you are receiving 40,000 Zhou troops over there, plus I will escort you, are you still worried about Tianfeng's fraud?"
Hearing that the main force of the Southern Expedition army was still there, of course Zhou Feiyan couldn't push it back. Immediately summoned Lu Tai, Huangfu Ji, Wen Chao and others, who had just arrived, to discuss and determine the plan of action. Huangfu Ji was not worried about Zhou Feiyan's safety, so he suggested that he could change someone.
Wu Xing smiled and said, "It seems that General Huangfu is not worried about the old man. It doesn't matter if you don't worry, I don't care, may I ask which of you has the prestige of the county lord to make those troops believe that you are not a spy of Chen Guo or Tianfeng. ”
Huangfu Ji was speechless when asked. Of course, the Southern Expeditionary Army knew that it was calculated at this time, and except for the people of the Zhou royal family, there was indeed no one who could make them trust.
Because of his family background, Huangfu Ji dared to question Wu Xing's plan, and others didn't even dare to question it. So, the plan was finalized. Zhou Feiyan asked Wen Chao to take charge of the three brigades, and after the victory was really established in the south, he would wave his army south and attack Chen Kun together.
At this time, a messenger suddenly came to report that a group of remnants of the Zhou army had fled from the south, and asked if they would let them in.
Zhou Feiyan and others hurriedly climbed the wall and found that the leader was actually Zhou Hui. Zhou Feiyan was about to order the door to be opened, when Zhou Hui suddenly tore off his shirt and wrapped it around the arrow shaft, shot at the city, and shouted loudly, "Don't open the door, Chen Jun is pretending to be behind me." ”
The so-called remnants behind Zhou Hui suddenly revealed their true colors and slashed at their 'leader' with a knife.
Zhou Hui was actually ready to die for a long time, and the reason why he faked his surrender was to send the true cause of death of Tang Cizhong, Zhou Zhang and others back to China, so that the country could recognize Chen Kun's true face. These days, he has been quietly biting his fingers to write on his underwear, and then shooting the bloody book into the gate when Chen Kun asked him to open and close the door.
After shooting an arrow with his physical strength, Zhou Hui was powerless to resist the falling machete because Chen Kun locked his acupoint. Seeing the anxious roar of Feiyan on the city wall, Zhou Hui died with a smile, "You still care about me." ”
It's really his fate, because Wu Ying is there. As soon as Zhou Feiyan shouted, Wu Ying crushed the corner of the wall brick, pinched it into several pieces and waved it out, smashing the heads of several Chen soldiers who stabbed at Zhou Hui. Then he flew down, lifted Zhou Hui and jumped onto the city wall. One up and down, only between lightning and fire, the generals on both sides could not react.
Not far away, the rumbling sound of war horses charging sounded, and Chen Kun led a large army to rush towards the Zhou army pass of Yingchou Mountain Pass. Before the army, there was Superman in the lead. Chen Kun had already predicted that there would be a superman of Zhou Guo or Lifeng here, and his plan was to drag Superman with Superman, and open and close the door with Zhou Hui, and the army would rush in, so Lifeng Superman would be helpless.
When I got closer, I realized that something was wrong, and the arrows in the city were like a rainstorm, and I shot my elites disguised as the remnants of the Zhou army into hedgehogs. Seeing the opportunity, Chen Kun immediately ordered Ming Jin, and shouted loudly, "Retreat! Retire! Uncle Shi, come back quickly!"
Several supermen of the Danxia Gang who were running in front of the army at high speed listened to Chen Kun's words very much, stopped blankly, and looked at the city. Someone knew Wu Xing, so he had to retreat quickly.
Zhou Feiyan did not wave his army to chase and kill, but visited Zhou Hui.
Zhou Hui wailed and cried, admitting Chen Kun's despicability, and crying about what happened to Tang Cizhong, Zhou Zhang and others.
Wu Xing was overjoyed, and he couldn't imagine saving a helper. There is no need for him to say anything more, Zhou Feiyan is already convinced.
