Chapter 701: Ambush
In the capital of Jin Guoyanjing, Wan Yan Jing ran quickly to Wan Yan Yong's dormitory again, with a panicked look on his face, which completely covered up the full confidence he had a few days ago.
"My grandson has seen the emperor's grandfather." Wan Yan Jing hurriedly saluted for the first time.
"Is something wrong?" Wan Yanyong lay on the couch and said in a low voice.
"Jingzhao Mansion was besieged, and now it has begun to clear the wilderness, and it is not daring to confront Yu Yunwen's siege army." Wan Yan Jing gritted his teeth with some dissatisfaction.
"In this way, this time the Song army is really strong." Wan Yan Yong, supported by the palace maid, slowly got up from the couch.
As he gets older and older, today's Wan Yan Yong seems to be the same as the Emperor Taishang after the Zen throne, and the big and small affairs in the court are now handled by Wan Yan Jing.
"So what do you mean? Are you planning to leave right away? Wan Yanyong motioned to the eunuch to spread out the map, and with the light of the candlelight, he looked at the map carefully again and asked.
"Grandson...... Sun Er really wants to set off for Jinan Mansion immediately, no matter whether Jingzhao Mansion can hold it or not, Sun Er thinks that Jinan Mansion cannot afford to lose. If Jinan Mansion is lost, and my Dajin loses the support of a heavy city north of the Yellow River, I am afraid that if I want to recapture it again, it will be more difficult. Wan Yanjing said matter-of-factly.
Compared with the courtiers' contempt for Song Jun, Wan Yanjing has an extremely clear and profound understanding of both Song Jun and Ye Qing.
What's more, now Ye Qing is no longer the Ye Qing who was submissive in front of the Song Court, a military general who was promoted by Zhao Gou from the head of a forbidden army, and now he is no longer controlled by the Song Court, and the Song Court's will three times and twice has not been able to recall Ye Qing, let alone let Ye Qing stop the pace of continuing to go north.
"This is a wolf that is more dangerous than the steppe wolf." Wan Yan Yong's tone was filled with a hint of approval at this moment: "The wolf that Zhao Gou raised by himself back then, after his death, it seems that no one can suppress it." But he ...... What exactly does he want? Wan Yanyong raised his head and pondered: "Establish yourself as a king and rebel to establish a country?" He doesn't have that strength now, not to mention that he is not a stupid person, if he wants to rebel and establish a country, he will inevitably be scolded by the world, and he will also attract the Song Dynasty and you to attack him from the north and south. Is Ye Qing that stupid? β
"No matter what, today's Ye Qing must be emulating Yue Fei, who was disrespectful to the decree back then, or it is precisely because of Yue Fei's experience that Ye Qing does not dare to return to Lin'an alone at this time, so he has only one path to go now, to occupy all the territories north of the Yellow River, and increase his strength after returning to Lin'an, and no one dares to touch him after he returns to Lin'an." Wan Yan Jing frowned and analyzed.
Then the fingers followed Yan Yong's fingers, and the fingers of the grandfather and grandson fell on Jinan Mansion almost at the same time.
"Ye Qing's goal has always been Jinan Mansion, not Kaifeng Mansion that we tend towards!" Wan Yan Jing looked up at Wan Yan Yong and said.
"Capture Xuzhou as the rear defense camp, take Tengzhou to confuse our prediction of his next step, wander back and forth between Pizhou and Jeju, lure and force the army of Wanyan to defend the road ......." Wan Yan Yong took a deep breath, frowned and continued: "He wants to fight quickly, that's why he chose to take such a risk, to have a tough battle with Wan Yan Shoudao, Ye Qing wants to ...... The First World War is decided! β
"So my grandson thinks that Kaifeng Mansion doesn't need to be heavily guarded, and Jinan Mansion must be heavily guarded against Ye Qing's surprise attack." Wan Yan Jing's expression seemed to be asking Wan Yan Yong for advice.
"Order Kaifeng prefect Tang Kuo to immediately lead his troops to Shandong East Road, when Yu Yunwen has not captured Jingzhao Mansion and has not been able to contain him, it is necessary to arrive in Tai'an Prefecture before Ye Qing captures Jinan Mansion." Wan Yan Yong's hand slammed on the map, and continued: "If Jingzhao Mansion is lost, there will be no forgiveness!" β
"Yes, Grandpa Huang, grandson will make an order." Wan Yan Jing's spirit was shocked, and it was rare that his prediction was consistent with the emperor's grandfather, which was tantamount to a recognition for Wan Yan Jing, who was in charge of the court for the first time, and also made him feel great self-confidence.
"Tomorrow, you will immediately leave for Jinan Mansion to supervise the war, Jinan Mansion ...... Don't let it go. Wan Yan Yong looked at Wan Yan Jing and solemnly instructed.
Wan Yan Jing nodded firmly, and immediately walked out of Wan Yan Yong's dormitory after saluting, naturally, he didn't hear it, the moment he walked out, the sentence in Wan Yan Yong's mouth: Guarding the road is dangerous.
As soon as the sky was bright, Li Zhixiao and Hong Zun watched Ye Qing lead his own pro-army and rushed out of the barracks again.
Now like the two people who have been placed under house arrest, in the camp on Huainan East Road, because of the problems of grain and grass and winter cotton clothes, they were completely isolated by the whole army under the deliberate efforts of Ye Qing, Li Zhongfang, and Tian Lin.
At this time, they didn't want to contact the imperial court, but they wanted to know about the affairs in the Huainan East Road Army camp, and there was no way to find out, so what the two of them could do in these days was to threaten and warn Ye Qing like flies when Ye Qing was in the barracks, and once they returned to Lin'an, they must make them look good.
And Ye Qing said, think about your current situation first, whether you can return to Lin'an, but it is not up to you to decide, so the two of them will lose their color in an instant, and they dare not speak ill of each other again.
The two looked at the direction where Ye Qing disappeared and were silent for a long time, and finally Hong Zun broke the silence between the two: "It seems that Ye Qing has found a sign of the Jin army." β
"In the middle of the night last night, Li Zhongfang suddenly led a lot of cavalry out of the camp, and he hasn't come back yet, and Ye Qing suddenly led the pro-army, so he ran out of the barracks in a hurry at this time, it doesn't seem like he wants to fight with the Jin people, if it is a battle, it should be the whole army dispatched, and it is impossible to leave most of them in the camp." Li Zhixiao shook his head, looked at the bright morning and said in the distance, the cold in the air made the two of them shiver a little at this time.
"Could it be that the small force of the Jin people was discovered? That's why Ye Qing was so anxious to leave the camp? Hong Zun shook the cold air on his body and said.
"Not like, not like, not like." Li Zhixiao continued to shake his head, the cold of the early morning made him a little unbearable and walked to the camp tent, and said as he walked: "If it is a small force, why did Li Zhongfang lead his troops out of the camp in the middle of the night last night?" Could it be that it has not been won until now, or is it that Li Zhongfang has been defeated? β
Speaking of this, the two couldn't help but glance at each other, although they didn't say it, but now the mentality of the two of them is naturally that they both hope that Ye Qing's Huainan East Road army can be defeated by the Jin people once in a hurry.
The two of them guessed and guessed, but they still couldn't figure out one, since yesterday, under Ye Qing's order, the reason why the entire camp suddenly became dignified and slaughtered, and what was the reason why Li Zhongfang suddenly led his troops to leave last night.
Coming to the recess of the mountain last time along the foot of Phoenix Mountain again, Mo Xiaobao had been waiting here with Zhong Silkworm for a long time, and after negotiating a few words with Jia Shen, he and Mo Xiaobao, who was carrying a long wooden box, disappeared from the sight of Jia Shi and others.
As the morning sun slowly rose from the horizon, Ye Qing and Mo Xiaobao also rushed from Phoenix Mountain to the official road from Yanzhou to Jeju.
Looking around the official road, looking for a suitable place for ambushes and snipers, the war horse was also led by Mo Xiaobao to a secluded place and settled, and then the two climbed up a high hill, with average professional habits, Ye Qing motioned to Mo Xiaobao to pull out the withered yellow weeds, and then covered the two of them.
As the sun rose higher and higher from the east, and time flowed slowly from his fingers, the excitement in Mo Xiaobao's heart was no less than the mood before every battle on the grassland.
"After Cao Cao defeated LΓΌ Bu here and pacified Yanzhou, he was officially recognized by the imperial court as the pastor of Yanzhou, which also made Cao Cao's name as a hero go far and wide." Mo Xiaobao said with a warm hand.
"That's because Cao Cao killed celebrities indiscriminately, so his reputation was ruined, and later met Zhang Miao's soldiers, Cao Cao can be said to have made a name for heroes." Ye Qing fiddled with the rifle in his hand and said.
Just as Qi Shilie Zhizhong and Mou Yan guessed, Ye Qing did have the intention of ambushing Yan Shoudao, but Ye Qing did not have delusions that he could annihilate Yan Shoudao's army in one fell swoop through ambushes.
Because Ye Qing's army has been wandering around Jeju, there are almost no pedestrians on the official road from Jeju to Yanju today.
The army led by Wanyan Shoudao has been sending scouts since Yanzhou set off, so under the noses of Ye Qing and Mo Xiaobao, they have already seen several groups of golden scouts speeding back and forth.
Looking at the watch on his wrist, from about nine o'clock Ye Qing and Mo Xiaobao were ambushed here, as the sun had passed overhead, it began to gradually move westward, and nearly six hours had passed, and at three hours, the direction of Yanzhou, which was originally quiet and quiet, gradually sounded a slightly denser sound of horses' hooves.
As several groups of scouts rushed back and forth, they saw a small group of golden cavalry, their armor shining in the sun, speeding quickly on the official road.
"Here we are, sir." Mo Xiaobao pulled the withered yellow weeds in front of him and said.
"After you finished speaking, would Yan Shoudao guess that we would ambush him?" Ye Qing began to lie on the cold ground and took a deep breath and asked.
Up to now, he has sent Mo Xiaobao and others to be scouts in person, but no one has seen the true face of Wanyan Shoudao, but one thing is certain, the one with a gray beard is Wanyan Shoudao.
As the two golden iron horsemen on the official road galloped by, the big banner with the word Wanyan written on it slowly came from afar.
Compared with the two cavalry in the past just now, it can be clearly felt that this is the real main cavalry of the Jin people, different from the cavalry exploring the road ahead, this huge team is not only more numerous, but also the momentum is much more powerful and domineering than the two teams that have just passed.
Wanyan Shoudao is in the center, Mou Yan is on the left, and Qishi Lie is on the right, and in front and behind the three of them, even on the left, left and right on the official road that is not sufficient, they are all full of pro-soldiers guarding the three of them to move forward together.
"It should be him, right?" Mo Xiaobao whispered, but Ye Qing's answer was not heard in his ears.
Ye Qing tried his best to adjust his breathing, and through the crosshairs, he could clearly see that the gray-bearded Wanyan Shoudao, accompanied by the two generals on the left and right, and the protection of his own soldiers, slowly drove over from the official road.
"Ready." Ye Qing said softly, and then silently calculated the distance in his heart.
And Mo Xiaobao was even more excited at this time, and he had been waiting for the gunfire for a long time, and it was finally going to ring in his ears.
"Bang......."
Mo Xiaobao, who had been staring at Wanyan Shoudao closely, only felt as if his ears were about to become deaf, and instantly covered his ears with both hands, only to see the Wanyan Shoudao helmet on horseback in the distance flying, and the whole person was stunned as if he was scared stupid.
"Bang......."
This time, Mo Xiaobao only felt that the gunshots in his ears were a little quieter, and Wan Yan Shoudao in the distance was straight and straight from the horse's back and slowly tilted to the side.
(ps: I went out today and came back late, a change.) οΌ
