Chapter 231: Reinforcement of Yanzhou
You Tianfang took the official sedan chair to the imperial city, and when he got off the sedan chair, he saw Yan Ning standing at the gate of the palace. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Yan Ning was at a girl's house, just standing there, and she didn't feel uncomfortable.
She saw You Tianfang get out of the sedan chair and walked towards the palace gate where she was standing, made a slight blessing, and greeted, "Lord You," and said in a low voice, "There will be Lord Lao You again." ”
You Tianfang bowed his hand slightly, did not dare to delay more, and went directly into the palace to face the saint.
He was really glad in his heart, fortunately he was not Yan Mingde, and his own children were added together, and none of his Yan Lie would cause trouble. killed the emperor's heir, Yan Ning could still greet him like no one else.
However, since Yan Ning dared to be so leisurely, then Yan Lie's life would be fine.
You Tianfang didn't know that Yan Ning saw him arrive, and his heart completely settled down.
Emperor Yuan was willing to let Dali Temple take over, and the second brother, at most, would suffer a little, and his life would definitely be saved.
When You Tianfang entered the Qinzheng Pavilion, Yan Lie was already in the Qinzheng Pavilion.
Emperor Yuan was sitting behind the imperial case, holding a wooden card in his hand and looking at it repeatedly, the wooden card, You Tianfang looked very familiar.
"You Tianfang, you can also take a look at this brand."
Emperor Yuan dropped it, You Tianfang picked it up and looked at it carefully, "Shengshang, this brand is exactly the same as the one dropped by the assassin when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was assassinated." ”
Needless to say, Emperor Yuan naturally knew that it was exactly the same, and they all had the emblem of the Second Prince's Mansion.
Now, Liu Guifei and Chu Zhaohui are dead, and in Liu Qin's carriage, they actually found a wooden plaque of the Second Prince's Mansion.
Emperor Yuan glanced at Chu Zhaoye and Chu Zhaoheng, "You Tianfang, leave this matter to you, check it carefully." ”
"Yes, I obey." You Tianfang's mouth was bitter, but he didn't dare not accept this errand. Checking Liu Qin is equivalent to checking the third prince Chu Zhaoye. Even if he wanted to rely on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he didn't want to confront His Royal Highness at this moment.
Emperor Yuan said to Chu Zhaoye again, "You go to see the Liu family, let her go back to the house quickly, and then come back again." ”
In these words, there is dissatisfaction with Liu Qin.
Chu Zhaoye didn't argue anything for Liu Qin, but just bowed down to receive the order and went to the inner palace to visit Liu Qin.
"Father, Yan Ning is still at the palace gate, waiting for his father to summon him." Chu Zhaoheng saw that Emperor Yuan had not said anything, so he had to remind.
"Yan Ning? Let her go back. Emperor Yuan said to Yan Lie again, "You also go back and continue to read the "Great Chu Law" well." ”
"Yes." Yan Lie responded loudly.
Chu Zhaoheng signaled to Zhao Shou, Zhao Shou helped Yan Lie, went out with the eunuch designated by Kang Bao, passed the word of Emperor Yuan to Yan Ning, and sent the two out of the palace by the way.
"Let's all take a look." Emperor Yuan picked up the fold he had just put down and handed it to a few people.
Before Liu Qin broke into the palace, Emperor Yuan kept Yan Mingde, Lin Wenyu and Han Shangshu, just to see this twist and turn, Lin Tianhu wrote about the invasion of Northern Yan for help.
Beiyan has knocked from Yuyang Pass in previous years, but this time, it will actually go to the Tiger Roar Pass in Yanzhou, which is a bit unexpected.
From the Imperial City of Beiyan to the Tiger Roaring Pass, there is a saline-alkali land in the middle, and for the Beiyan people, it is not cost-effective for soldiers and horses to cross this saline-alkali land. Besides, the grass outside the Tiger Roar Pass is not as fat as the outside of Yuyang Pass.
The most important thing is that even if Beiyan breaks through Tiger Roaring Pass and Yanzhou, and then there is a high mountain barrier from Fuhu Mountain, Dachu can completely defend Fuhu Mountain according to natural hazards.
And Yuyang Pass is different, there is Red River irrigation outside Yuyang Pass, the pasture grass is fertile, and the soldiers and horses of Beiyan are here, so they don't worry about the horses not eating. If you break through Yuyang Pass, it will be followed by a horse Pingchuan, and Beiyan can go directly south and step on the Central Plains.
Therefore, over the years, the people of Beiyan would rather not be able to defeat Yuyang Pass, but also wander around outside Yuyang Pass.
Because of this geographical situation, Da Chu did not have many garrisons in Yanzhou and Tiger Roaring Pass.
Now that Beiyan has turned to attack Tiger Roar Pass, it can be regarded as a surprise. The defenders of Tiger Roar Pass were lax, so the battle was very tight.
Chu Zhaoheng picked up the copy and glanced at it. Is there an emergency for grain and grass under Yanzhou? He glanced at Lin Wenyu, Yanzhou Mansion granary ten warehouses and nine warehouses were dissatisfied, he was arranging for someone to plan to thoroughly inspect the treasury and granary, Yanzhou was in a hurry for grain and grass?
Emperor Yuan's face could no longer see the anger and sadness just now, as if the loss of the emperor's grandson had never happened at all.
The emperor's scheming is as deep as the sea.
Lin Wenyu said at this time, "Holy Lord, Yanzhou is in an emergency, and we have to send troops to support first." Although there is still a dangerous barrier of Fuhu Mountain behind Yanzhou, if Yanzhou loses, it is always unfavorable. ”
"Holy Lord, Lin Shangshu is reasonable, Yanzhou cannot afford to lose." Several other ministers chimed in.
Indeed, Yanzhou is the largest city between Fuhu Mountain and Guanwai, and with Yanzhou, the army has a foothold.
Emperor Yuan nodded, "Yanzhou is an important city of my Great Chu, and there must be no loss." ”
"Holy Lord, the minister recommended General Yan to lead troops to reinforce." Lin Wenyu started again.
Emperor Yuan nodded and spit out two words, "That's right." Let Yan Lie be the pioneer officer. He said, looking at Yan Mingde.
"The subordinate dog Xie Shengshang Longen." Yan Mingde had no choice but to kneel down and thank him.
It is certain that Yanzhou will be reinforced, and the difference is who will lead the troops. Just now, he wanted to recommend the martial arts general Zhou Bojian to lead the troops, because the area around Fuhu Mountain has always been defended by Zhou Bojian with troops, and the reinforcements are the fastest. But with today's Yan Lie's matter, and looking at Emperor Yuan's eyes, he can only be grateful.
Yanzhou's recital says that the Northern Yan army of 500,000 invaded. At this time, there were only 100,000 soldiers and horses in the Yanzhou area. Emperor Yuan asked Yan Lie to be a pioneer officer, which also meant to redeem his merits.
"The military situation is urgent, you take 300,000 troops to reinforce first." Emperor Yuan directly ordered, "Take the map." ”
As he spoke, he walked down the royal desk and into the center of the room. Kang Bao led the people and spread the map in the center, and Emperor Yuan pointed to a small city road on the side of Fuhu Mountain, "You rush over immediately, the reinforcements gather here, and then rush to Yanzhou." When you arrive in Yanzhou, you will be the commander of this war. ”
"Yes, Lordship. The minister will definitely live up to the holy hope and drive Beiyan out of the Tiger Roar Pass. Yan Mingde commanded loudly.
Chu Zhaoheng opened his mouth, but he didn't stop it after all. Yanzhou's grain and grass are in an emergency, as the saying goes, the soldiers and horses do not move the grain and grass first, Emperor Yuan only arranged the soldiers and horses, but did not say where the grain and grass are transferred from.
"Holy Lord, there are reinforcements, where should this grain and grass be transferred from?" Right Prime Minister Ye Fuguo asked something that Chu Zhaoheng was inconvenient to ask.
"There is still some grain and grass in Yanzhou, and the rest is ......" Emperor Yuan knocked on the book, "The rest of the grain and grass will be transferred from Jizhou." Prince, you are in charge of the grain and grass this time. ”
"Yes, my son obeys." Chu Zhaoheng replied loudly. This arrangement is in line with his intentions, and he is not at ease to let others take care of his uncle's rear grain and grass.
And Emperor Yuan handed this matter over to him, not without the meaning of experience. (To be continued.) )
