Chapter 125: Winning the First Battle and Calculating King Zhao

Zuo Yan and Tu Tu reorganized the army, and Tu Tu suggested that the whole army should rise up and capture the Beijing division in one go. Zuo Yan was full of fear of Ye Yichen, so Zuo Yan suggested that he first send a team of soldiers out of the camp, find a city gate to attack, and explore the combat effectiveness of the defenders.

Zuo Yan finally persuaded Tumutu, Zuo Yan sent a tooth general Su He, with thousands of abrupt soldiers, carrying hundreds of captured people forward to attack, and the direction he chose to attack was Xizhimen.

The guard of Xizhimen is none other than Ye Minyu, the king of Zhao. Ye Minyu has not been idle during this time, he has been brave and aggressive since he was a child, and he is quite familiar with military affairs, and the emperor sent him to the three major battalions and the prince in charge of the camp to learn military affairs. During this time, Ye Minyu served as Ye Yichen's right-hand man, although his ability was not as rebellious as Ye Yichen, but as he matured, he also played a big role. He slowly established his prestige among the officials who stayed in Beijing.

He personally asked Ye Yichen for battle, and Ye Yichen gave him 10,000 men and asked him to guard Xizhimen. Ye Minyu moved the cover roll directly to Xizhimen, ate and slept with the soldiers, and he ate whatever the soldiers ate, he followed what the soldiers ate, he was a dignified son, the respect of the prince, although he was young, it was not easy to do this. Coupled with the clear rewards and punishments, it only took a few days to win the support of all the soldiers, and everyone was willing to serve him to the death.

Ye Minyu was wiping his sword in the tower of the city gate, and the captain of his personal guard hurriedly ran to report: "Your Highness, the enemy has begun to attack!" ”

Ye Minyu was not surprised. He rubbed the ground and stood up. The Tuwu and Jurchen coalition forces have been here for three days and have not moved. Ye Minyu had been waiting impatiently for a long time. He's been waiting for this battle.

Ye Minyu asked calmly: "How many people came?" Which tribe is it from? Although he was only sixteen years old, his handsome face was full of heroism.

"There are thousands of soldiers, and their banners are outrageous, and they also coerce a lot of ordinary people."

Ye Minyu returned the sword into the sheath and said, "Go and take a look." ”

On the Xizhi Gate, the soldiers were running nervously, a group of generals saw Ye Minyu coming and all surrounded them, Ye Minyu climbed the city wall, held the battlement and looked down, only to see several big flags erected several miles away, thousands of abrupt soldiers are galloping here, the abrupt soldiers are all on the periphery, inside are ordinary people wearing Da Chu clothes, these people are desperately running forward, because the abrupt people are wielding leather whips, whoever runs slowly is a whip, flesh and blood flying.

Seeing this scene, Ye Minyu gritted her teeth with hatred. At this time, a Francophone man came up and asked: "Commander, the enemy is getting closer and closer, should you immediately prepare to fire the cannon?" Ye Yichen divided the Franc machine into nine groups, and specially let them control the modified cannon, which can be regarded as making the best use of people.

Ye Minyu also got two gunners here.

Ye Minyu shouted loudly: "No! There are the people of Great Chu in the ranks of the barbarians! ”

A partial general next to him asked, "Lord Wang, then what should we do?" ”

Ye Minyu smiled and said, "A team of 1,000 people dares to hit my Xizhimen, hum!" He turned his head and loudly ordered the herald beside him: "Order Gao Du Si and Mao Du Si to sort out the cavalry team, and open the city gate while the enemy is not close, and this king will personally lead the team to kill these damn barbarians!" ”

The generals were all dumbfounded. They never thought that Zhao Wangye could be so bold at a young age, everyone was all in one mind, it would be good to be able to hold it, who knew that he wanted to simply rush out of the field battle with the enemy!

Ye Minyu is the supreme commander of Xizhimen, the so-called military orders are like a mountain, although everyone mutters in their hearts, but no one dares to object!

After a while, the two capitals gathered all the cavalry belonging to Xizhimen, although Ye Minyu had 10,000 men, but the cavalry was only 2,000, many of them were still recruits, and the combat effectiveness and abrupt people were probably not on the same level.

Ma Wenlong, the governor of the Chinese Army's Governor's Mansion, is the No. 2 person in Xizhimen in addition to Ye Minyu, he glanced at Ye Minyu with some concern, Ye Minyu said: "Master Ma, as soon as this king leaves the city, you will close the city gate, if this king is unfortunately killed in battle, you will replace this king to guard Xizhimen." ”

Ma Wenlong is a military attache of Zheng Erpin, but in addition to the northwest, Da Chu has not used swords for many years, Ma Wenlong has long lost the sharpness of his youth, at this moment Ye Minyu is majestic, and he is even more energetic when he speaks, Ma Wenlong feels that he is a little nonsense as the main general, but on the other hand, he has to admire Ye Minyu's courage. He also understands that Juyong Pass, Bauhinia Pass, and Da Chu have lost two Xiong passes in a row, and the soldiers generally lack confidence, and now they need a dignified victory to build confidence!

Ma Wenlong nodded solemnly: "The last general will definitely live up to the trust of the prince!" Please cherish it! ”

Ye Minyu smiled, for a while he was arrogant, his guards had already brought his beloved horse, Ye Minyu turned over on the horse, took off the spear on the Desheng hook and pointed obliquely to the sky, holding the reins of the horse in one hand. shouted loudly: "The sudden people killed my relatives and friends, captured my wife and children, and now the enemy is in front of me, killing the enemy to serve the country, revenge and hatred are only in front of me, it is the master's, they all follow this king!" ”

"Kill! Kill! Kill! "Two thousand cavalrymen shouted in unison, the sound shook the house, the murderous aura was full of sky, and the momentum was like a rainbow!

"Boom!" The city gate slowly opened, Ye Minyu rushed out of the city first, the sound of hooves rumbled, the flags were waved, and the two thousand cavalry rushed out behind Ye Minyu like a torrent of steel. Behind them, the gate of Xizhi Gate slowly closed.

There is advance and no retreat, there is death and no life!

This is the first time Ye Minyu has been on the battlefield in his life, but he has not the slightest nervousness and fear in his heart, and some are just enthusiastic and excited.

He was born for war! He was born to be a general.

Ye Minyu J□J is one in a thousand miles of Dawan BMW, he holds a spear in one hand and a shield in the other, running faster and faster, he is followed by a strong martial arts guard, everyone is black and white horse, murderous, extremely strong combat effectiveness, the whole team forms a sharp triangle in the march. At the tip happened to be Ye Minyu and his black-clothed guard.

Su He didn't expect Ye Minyu to dare to rush out with the team to fight a field battle with him, Ye Minyu's horse was fast, the sudden people had just released a round of arrows, Su He didn't wait for a reaction, Ye Minyu rushed in with people, the sudden people were too underestimated the combat effectiveness of Da Chu, they coerced the people of Da Chu originally wanted to threaten the defenders of the city, so that they did not dare to release arrows, but at this time it hindered their speed and dispersed their formation.

Of course, the impact power of the cavalry mainly depends on the speed of the horse, and the speed of the abrupt people is very slow, so the impact force is naturally a few points lower, plus they are surrounded by the periphery of the people, and Ye Minyu has no time to sort out the formation Ye Minyu led people to rush over. Ye Minyu took the lead, he passed through the big inner high finger, and his martial arts were also excellent, stabbing a vultures to death with a spear, his black-clothed guards were all experienced in a hundred battles, and killing them was like cutting vegetables and melons, and they cut down a piece of the tuddens with a chirp.

Ye Minyu let the horse rush forward, and there were people on the left and right to support him, so he didn't have to care about it at all, he just rushed forward. Of the 2,000 cavalry he brought out, more than half of them were recruits, and he was a little scared at first, but at this time, he saw that the enemy was also a head, two eyes, and a knife would bleed off his head. What's more, it was the prince who was at the front, the prince was not afraid of death, what were we afraid of with a cheap life, their morale was greatly boosted, and they waved their weapons and pounced on them with their weapons when they screamed.

In just a quarter of an hour's effort, Ye Minyu personally led hundreds of cavalry to break through the military formation of the Tuwu people, which was the cavalry's use of the famous central breakthrough tactic. He even couldn't believe it, why did the abrupt people fight so much?

At this time, the enemy had been cut into two sections, Ye Minyu reined in the horse, and ordered the two capitals to take their headquarters to outflank them from the two wings, and to divide and eat the enemy. At that time, the war relied on a morale, and the morale of the Chu army under the leadership of Ye Minyu was like a rainbow, but the abrupt people lacked mental preparation, and they were blinded all of a sudden, and it was too late to rectify the formation and organize a counterattack.

The Turbulents held out only for a moment before they were routed on all fronts. Ye Minyu led people to chase him out of the city for several miles, and then he returned triumphantly!

In the battle, he beheaded one hundred and twenty-one people, captured more than 100 Tuwu soldiers, captured more than 150 war horses, and saved more than 300 people. On the Great Chu side, there were only less than forty cavalrymen killed and wounded.

When the news came back to the Beijing Division, Ye Yichen was overjoyed, and immediately ordered someone to reward the defenders of Xizhimen, and spread the word to the Nine Cities, the Beijing Division was jubilant, and the morale above the Nine Gates was greatly boosted.

The news of the good news arrived in Texas, and the emperor read the documents of the good news, and he was so happy that he even got a little better. immediately passed Concubine Xiao in: "You gave birth to a good son for me!" ”

The smile on Concubine Xiao's face couldn't help it: "It's all taught by the emperor, what does it have to do with concubines?" He sighed and said: "This kid is just too impulsive, he was the first to rush forward in the war, I, a mother, heard about it, and I'm still afraid!" I heard that there were four untouched people who died at his hands! Even their leading Tooth General was captured. At this moment, the morale of the Jingshi has been greatly boosted, and I think it is no longer a problem to defend the Jingshi. This is all the blessing of the ancestors, Amitabha! ”

Concubine Xiao also just got the news that her son made a meritorious service and showed her face, and she was the happiest to be her mother-in-law. The emperor listened to her talking, and he was also very proud in his heart! Concubine Xiao had dinner in the palace and was very happy all night. He couldn't help thinking: At the beginning, he wanted to keep the prince in charge of the country, but the prince was greedy for life and afraid of death and didn't dare to stay, and Ye Minyu invited himself to stay in Beijing, and he could personally go into battle to kill the enemy, rushing to the forefront, these two sides were a pair, and the prince was simply compared to Ye Minyu into the mud.

At the beginning, he was appointed as the crown prince mainly because the queen mother advocated it, and in the past few years, he has no ability, courage, and responsibility. The emperor actually moved the mind of abolishing the prince slightly, but now this idea is getting stronger and stronger.

It's just that he also understands that the abolition of the crown prince has always been an unpopular thing, and the prince cannot be abolished without major faults, this is a rule handed down from all dynasties, and he can almost imagine that once he issues the edict of abolishing the prince, the ministers of the court and the central government will probably write a swarm to oppose it.

Thinking of this, the emperor also felt a headache.

Prince, let's take another look!

"Bang!" A piece of jasper paperweight fell to the ground and shattered into powder, Ye Minshu looked at the little eunuch who was kneeling on the ground trembling with a hideous expression: "What you said is true?" Did he really take such a big credit? ”

The little eunuch kowtowed again and again: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the servants don't dare to lie nonsense, His Royal Highness King Zhao has won a great victory in Xizhimen, and this matter has been spread to everyone!" ”

Ye Minshu's face distorted for a while, and a crazy jealousy flashed in his eyes: "You go out first!" ”

The little eunuch was like being amnestied, kowtowed and walked backwards, and when he retreated to the door, Ye Minshu remembered something and instructed him: "Go and invite Mr. Fang over!" ”

After a while, a middle-aged man in his forties, dressed as a scribe, walked in. He kowtowed to Ye Minshu, Mr. Fang's name is Fang Long, he is the most important strategist around Ye Minshu, he is quite strategic, and he is deeply trusted by Ye Minshu, and the prince is very polite to him.

After giving a seat, Fang Long sat on the chair diagonally, the room was burning with sandalwood, and the smoke was curling, except for the prince and Fang Long, there was no one under him, and the silence was almost depressing.

It took a long time for the prince to say astringently: "The matter of the great victory of Xizhimen, presumably Mr. already knows the way." ”

Fang Long said: "The door has heard something. ”

"I'm afraid my father is very disappointed with the lonely ......." The prince looked at Fang Long with warm eyes and said, "Please teach me, sir!" ”

Fang Long sighed secretly, he urged the prince to stay in the capital to win political capital and consolidate his position, but the prince was as timid as a mouse, and he just refused to listen. What can he do? Now the prince regrets it, but now it's too late to go back to the Beijing Division.

Fang Long thought for a while and said, "You might as well put more effort into the assassination of the crown princess!" ”

The crown prince handed over this matter to Fang Long to investigate last time, and at this time he asked anxiously, "What did Mr. find out?" ”

"The subordinate was about to report the matter to the prince. After many investigations, the subordinates have found some clues, and the main messenger of this matter is Long Xiaowei's Qianhu Shi You, and Shi You is a distant relative of the Xiao family, that is, the distant cousin of the future Princess Zhao. I have bribed one of his guards to testify for us! ”

When the prince heard this, his spirits were lifted, and he stood up happily at once: "Okay, good! The Xiao family, the Xiao family is Ye Minyu's foreign family, and the Xiao family can't escape this matter. I'm going to go to my father to complain, this time they will be told to go around without eating! ”

Fang Long shook his head secretly, this prince was too composed: "Your Highness, this is not the perfect time to sue. ”

"Oh, when should Lone be activated?"

Fang Long said: "According to Nei Ying, that Shi You is a martial artist, he didn't succeed last time, and he is looking for another opportunity to make a move at this time, if we plan it, make a big deal about it, and then plant all the things on the Xiao family, pull out the radish and connect the pit, King Zhao will naturally not escape being implicated!" Merely...... But the princess needs to take some risks! ”

Ye Minshu nodded again and again when he heard this: "Mr. is very reasonable, let's make a good living." It's okay for the crown princess! ”

On the second day, Yuxin was ordered by the prince to take Yulan to Qingjing Temple on the outskirts of Texas to offer incense and pray for the emperor. When I came back, I met a team of horse thieves with black scarves and masks, the horse thieves were not only all cavalry, but also used the crossbow in the army, and a salvo shot most of the princess's guards to death, the princess fell into a crisis for a while, but at this time, all of a sudden ambush was everywhere, hundreds of sergeants surrounded this group of horse thieves, after a tragic fight, most of the horse thieves died, or more than a dozen people were caught.

Tearing off their masked black scarves, everyone realized that the person who took the lead was actually one of the four guards of the emperor's pro-army, Long Xiangwei's Qianhu Shiyou.

Shocked both inside and outside for a while.

The crown prince cried in front of the emperor, saying that someone had plotted to kill him, the prince of the country-he was going to go to Qingjing Temple with the crown princess to offer incense, but he couldn't leave because of something temporary, so he was accompanied by the princess's sister.

The emperor was also very angry, especially after hearing Ye Minshu tell Shi You's identity. Although he was confused, he also knew that the Imperial Concubine of Lu Dao and the Xiao family wanted Ye Minyu to take the throne, and he could bear it if the prince took the heir, but what he couldn't bear was the Xiao family's tragic means.

Ye Minshu is also his eldest son, he just doesn't like this son anymore, and he doesn't want him to die at the hands of his brother.

"Check! Check it out for me! I want to see who has the courage to rebel against the prince! The emperor was furious and immediately sent someone to investigate the matter strictly.

"Smack!" Xiao Yunqian received a heavy slap in the face. "You! Who told you to take matters into your own hands against the crown princess? Concubine Xiao was trembling with anger, her son showed a big face, and finally took the lead on the road to winning the heir, but this stupid woman buried all the good things. Even if you want to kill the crown princess, you should think of a perfect way, right? What can you do with a cousin with muscles in his head? At this moment, the Xiao family can't get rid of suspicion. Concubine Xiao couldn't wait to slap this uncompetitive niece to death at this time!

Xiao Yunqian knelt on the ground with her red and swollen left face, not daring to say a word. Princess Yongan knelt beside her with her, and the arrogance of the past was long gone.
