Chapter 329: The Great Day of the Celestial Fortune
Summoned the Yellow Sky Fortress.
General Wei Yuanqi led an army of 20,000 and divided five roads to attack the five counties of Longmen, Liangyuan, Baishui, Pucheng and Xiantong, where the Hexi Rong army was located, thinking that it was a feint strategy.
Then wait for the opportunity and send another 10,000 soldiers and horses to attack Xuchang City with all their might.
In this way, it is bound that the Hexi Rong army will not be able to guess General Wei's purpose, and then attacking Xu Chang with all their strength will make the Rong army think that we are going to recover Xu Chang and go south to Xijing to attack the back of Xie Yuguan.
Therefore, the battle of Xuchang must be done with all its strength regardless of casualties, and it is best to capture Xuchang, and the troops will go straight to Baili and the two cities in autumn.
According to the news of the Tanmalai newspaper, the number of defenders in Xuchang should be less than 20,000 now, and after General Wei's soldiers and horses attacked the five northern counties, the defenders of Xuchang are likely to divide their troops to the north to rescue.
Therefore, when General Wei's soldiers and horses were taken by surprise and attacked him unprepared, he had an eighty percent chance of defeating Xu Chang.
But in case, if it can't be attacked, the soldiers and horses that attack the five northern counties will be transferred to attack together, and if it can't be broken once, it will be attacked twice, and if it can't be broken twice, it will be attacked.
I don't believe that the Rong army that poured out of the nest outside Xieyu Pass will ignore the fire in the backyard?
And in my opinion, Hexi County has now been drained by Zhezhe with most of its troops, so I believe that the battle of Hexi will not be too difficult.
As long as Wei Yuanqi can successfully attract the reinforcements sent by Xie Yuguan, they can immediately retreat to the Yellow Sky Fortress on all fronts, and they don't need to fight the Rong army to the death.
Therefore, as long as the horse can be probed, Xieyu Pass will send reinforcements to the north. General Niu and General Huang could lead their troops to attack Muyang and Muyin successively, while General Wei took advantage of the chaos to march west into Lishan.
.......
As for the people in the east of Huangyin City who were killed by the Rong spies, General Liang was also asked to deal with them properly, and then send more people to investigate around the city to ensure that similar tragedies would not happen again in the future.
By the way, tell those recruits that there are no eggs under the nest, so if they want to let the tragedy they witnessed not be repeated, and the corpses lying on the ground will not be their relatives, they can only follow General Ben to kill the retreating people and rebuild the stability of Great Qin. ”
After listening to the long-planned arrangements in his heart and listening to everyone, the generals who had already roughly guessed his thoughts were all clear about the details of this battle, but when Li Hua said something to Liang Qingshu and couldn't figure it out, it made the generals who had just been relieved almost stunned at the same time.
But the strange thing is that just after a few breaths, all the generals all had a look of understanding at the same time.
In an instant, everyone stood up at the same time and responded "whoa".
Among them, Niu Yong and Huang Yunhe glanced at each other after responding to the "喀", and they both saw a trace of deep emotion in each other's eyes, as well as a trace of resolute determination.
However, both of them also understand that although Lewah promised to pick up the two, he did not treat them as outcasts. But as people who were already nailed to the pillar of shame, how could they dare to let the soldiers in Huangyin City fall into danger and lose their lives for the sake of their own shameful people.
In fact, they also spent a certain amount of effort to manage the soldiers under their command, who were originally composed of bandits and rebellious people who were mainly gathered around during the "Mengchun Rebellion", to go out of the city to "fight the grass valley", but although these people fought bravely, they never strictly followed the military discipline and instructions, so the efforts of the two of them never got the desired return.
Moreover, they also knew that if they wanted to make these casual soldiers obey them, they would have to turn a blind eye, otherwise, these unruly soldiers would suddenly defect from them one day, and they would scatter in a hurry, or at worst produce the evil consequences of mutiny.
So when Lihua went to Shenjing, the soldiers who were unrestrained went out of the city unscrupulously to attack those rich families and nobles, but how could Lihua suddenly return and be caught by him.
Niu Yong and Huang Yunhe knew that they had caused a catastrophe this time, so when they understood that they were going to die, they found that Zhu Lihua intended to let them go, and they were very moved, and they did not hesitate to take the task of nine deaths.
In the dark, the two of them can guess with certainty that maybe the choice of the two of them is the true intention of Zhu Lihua, if the two of them do not say anything today, then I am afraid that tomorrow the head of Huangyin City will be full of the heads of themselves and the soldiers under their command.
For this point, the two of them are more clear and clear than Xi Zihui. After all, they had been defeated by Lihua's men, so they didn't think that Lihua was as harmless as it seemed on the surface.
After proper arrangement, the generals with their own intentions left the hall of the Huangyin County Ya, and in the coming days they would train new recruits and deduce the tactics of attacking and defending the city, while waiting for news from Hexi County.
At the same time, they will also wait for the attack of the 200,000 Rong army west of Huangyin City at any time. After all, those Rong people have been preparing for a long, long time. If they had taken the lead in attacking Huangyin before the Battle of Hexi had begun, then all of Lihua's plans would have become empty talk.
Since that day, as before, he still had to go out of the city every day to observe the enemy's situation, and personally go to the barracks of the recruits to inspect the progress of the recruits and the training of the people.
In the tense atmosphere of the army pressing, just two months were fleeting.
Finally, under the scorching sun of late summer, the tension of the imminent war became more and more urgent.
However, what happened during these two months was not just the stress of the war that suffocated her. Because Yaoping finally ushered in a new monarch to succeed to the throne, Gongzi Hui, who had just escaped from his mother's arms, became the new Duke of Qin. The previous Duke of Qin, who was burned to death in the Qilin Palace, was nicknamed "Duke Xu", a not-so-honorable title.
Regarding the affairs in Yaoping City, Zhu Lihua just sent someone to congratulate him. This is not because he has already been domineering to the point of having no king, but because the scouts found out that the Rong army does have plans to transfer troops and send generals to prepare to attack Huangyin in the near future, so how can Zhu Lihua, as the main general, leave his post without permission and abandon his shortcomings.
And not only did Zhu Lihua do this, but even Xu Xiaoyang in the water, Wei Yuanqi who fought in Hexi, Wei Huan who was guarding Jiangcheng, and Gao Yunce, An Moran and others who were stationed in Huangyin City also followed the example of Zhu Lihua and sent a congratulatory note to Yaoping, and there was no movement.
That Gongzi Hui was young and ignorant and didn't react, but Mrs. Yin was quite dissatisfied with what Lihua and the others did, but she was not an ordinary woman, so even if she was angry in her heart, she still rewarded Lihua and the generals under his command according to the advice of Gu Daoyuan, Zhang Ziyu and others.
And on the day that the new monarch succeeded to the throne, these reward letters were taken out of Yaoping and sent to the counties of Hedong and the Huangtian Fortress in Hexi County.
On the book of this award, it is written:
Lihua was promoted from the general of Hexi to the left watch, and all the land of the original Hexi County was his fiefdom, and the whole city of Quwo was his fief.
Gao Yunce, Wei Yuanheng, Liang Qingshu, An Moran, and Wei Mu were promoted to deputy generals, and they had the power to open the government and recruit troops on their own.
And Xi Zihui, Liu Jaw, Li Ji, Tang Yuan, Xu Xiaoyang, Niu Yong, Huang Yunhe, Ma Yuan and others also ascended to heaven and were promoted to the post of general.
As for Mao Biao and more than 30 others, they were also named captains and military marquises. ”
The reward from Yaoping City, which should have shocked the world, actually did not receive much attention at the time. Because the people who learned the news fully understood that this Yaoping Xinjun had drawn a big pie and gave it to these Shu generals to encourage them to resist the Rong people.
And more people themselves sneered at the new monarch of this "Great Qin", not to mention the meaningless rewards he issued.
Therefore, when the Duke of Qi and the Duke of Shu saw the letter of state that was written in detail about the beginning and end of the incident of the Qin State, they both smiled slightly and threw the letter aside.
Moreover, even Zhu Lihua and the generals under his command seemed to have discussed it, and after taking a look at the edict with the Xuanwu seal, they casually stuffed it into an inconspicuous place.
Because for them, where could this edict of promotion be more important than the map on the table.
If the Rong people succeed, then all the actions of the new monarch of Qin are just a farce, and the rewards received by these Shu generals of Great Qin are just a cloud of smoke in the past.
However, in the past two months, there is still a person in the land of "Great Qin" who has made the most difficult decision in his life.
That is the matter of Lu Lihua's official acceptance of Lu Yunling as a concubine.
This matter was originally an urgent move by the Fan family, who came to Huangyin, thinking that the war was coming, and hoping that Lihua could take a concubine as soon as possible, and it was best to leave an heir to the Lihua family.
But he didn't expect that on the day when Lihua took a concubine, the number of the Great Qin nobles and generals who got the news from somewhere and immediately came to the war-clouded Huangyin City was several times more than the new monarch's enthronement ceremony that happened in Yaoping a few days ago.
Except for the generals who were guarding the front line everywhere and couldn't come, almost all the well-known figures in Hedong County risked their lives to come to Huangyin to ask for a glass of wine from Lihua.
The simple ceremony in the family turned into a sensational event for the whole country, and even the Duke of Qin personally sent someone to congratulate Lu Lihua and seal Yunling as Mrs. Xiaoyue. It must be known that among the noble titles of women in the Qin State, Lady Xiaoyue is second only to Lady Huiyao.
And after Lu Yunling was named Mrs. Xiaoyue, she also changed from an ordinary Shu clan to a nobleman officially recognized by "Great Qin".
This kind of honor is not common.
Under the joy and joy, the sound of firecrackers in Huangyin City that day shook the sky completely, so that countless Rong army scouts who came to spy couldn't help but be attracted to the outside of Huangyin City, and observed the strange things that happened in Huangyin in confusion.
And that night, Zhu Lihua, who knew that fate dictated, also temporarily let go of his guilt for Yu Xin'er, and he opened his heart and turned his complex thoughts into a love for Lu Yunling.
"What's more, I don't know whether I am alive or dead in this Huangyin War, and if I am not filial, then I must always leave a little blood for the Yuli family." That night, the contradictory and painful Zhu Lihua thought so.
Before the dawn of the second day, the soldiers and generals who were still immersed in the joy of the previous day found that their main generals were still pushed by their own soldiers on the bamboo chairs under them as usual, and came to the head of the city of Huangyin, to the highlands outside the city of Huangyin, and to the camp behind the city of Huangyin where soldiers were trained.
It was only at this time that the generals and soldiers who had stopped in Huangyin came to their senses: the sky above this Huangyin City was still full of battle clouds, and the danger was still slowly gathering, and it had not changed in the slightest because of the joy of taking a concubine.
