Chapter II. 144. The great victory of the Puhe River

In fact, at this level of state-to-state warfare, there must be no absolute secrets. And Yan Chongwu, the commander of the Youbei Flying Bear Army, 'came back from the dead', with 5,000 elite cavalry of 'reincarnated heroes', on the bank of the Pu River, he broke the glorious record of Pingbei Marquis Guo Xiao's '100,000 army', as if he had put on wings, and spread throughout the entire Huayu Continent in just one day and night.

In this victory in Puhe, Yan Chongwu fully showed that he was worthy of the title of the number one general of the young generation of Youbei Third Road. His unpredictable way of using troops has already attracted the attention of everyone in the Huayu Continent.

The so-called layman looks at the lively, and the insider looks at the doorway; Yan Chongwu's 'full command' battle won the applause of the audience from two different orientations at the same time.

In the eyes of the common people, this Yan Dashuai has been covered with a layer of mystery at this time: he was obviously killed by Guo Xing, the young marshal of the Pingbei Army, with an arrow in front of everyone; After that, even the body was cremated by the personal guards who fought to the death, which is a fact that thousands of people watched, right? Now the ashes of Yan Chongwu's 'flesh' should have been transported back to Yanjing City, the capital of Northern Yan; Unexpectedly, this dead man, Yan Chongwu, crawled out of the grave with his old subordinates, and wiped out the Pingbei army of 100,000 with only 5,000 cavalry. Such a glorious record is as magical and dazzling as the reincarnation of a god and martial arts. Nowadays, in every place on Youbei Third Road, whether it is a street wine shop or a restaurant or a teahouse, what the people talk about is this handsome man with a heavy face and a martial artist!

In the eyes of those who understand a little about the affairs of the soldiers, this Yan Shuai's ability has been lifted to an incredible level: no matter how they think about it, they can't figure out what method this Yan Chongwu used to lead Pingbei Hou Guo Xiao, a world-famous general who has been shrinking and defending all his life, out of the East Customs, and also pressed all the chips at one time; After that, how did he accurately calculate every move of the enemy's army, and even Guo Xiaohui changed the route of travel, he had already planned, and the two sides seemed to have agreed as accurately, and participated in this wonderful war drama together!

Of course, Yan Chongwu himself actually didn't know much better than them, and it was like seeing flowers in the fog, quietly waiting for the 'color opera master Shen Gui', shaking out a colorful and magnificent scene from his own baggage.

Fengjing Imperial Palace, Winter Warm Pavilion

"Good! The uncle of the lonely king is really a person who knows soldiers and understands soldiers, and he is worthy of being the pillar of optimus on my three roads in the north! Passing on the will of King Gu, Yan Chongwu, the commander of the Flying Bear Army, exterminated the 100,000 enemies of Northern Yan in front of the Pu River bank with only 5,000 cavalry, and showed the might of my Northern Army! In order to show his courage and show his merits, the lone king entered the first level of knighthood and was awarded the ......"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Enlightened Prison Country......"

After the crown prince Yan Tian got the battle report, he was suddenly overjoyed in his heart: he had just temporarily taken over the post of supervising the country, and he was suffering from the siege of the Northern Yan army, and he had no face to face the Manchu Dynasty civil and military and the people of Youbei, but he didn't expect Yan Chongwu to play a trick to hide the sky and the sea: he cheated his death and concealed his name first, and when he was in the most danger, he was like a thunderbolt, and he quickly strangled the entire logistics and baggage troops of the Pingbei Army. What's even more valuable is that Yan Chongwu's good news chapter was even sent to his own dragon book case together with the handsome flag of Pingbei Hou Guo Xiao.

In the face of such good news, Yan Tian immediately began to announce his decree loudly, he wanted to firmly envelop himself, a brave and resourceful clan uncle, around him as soon as possible. At present, the Pingbei army outside Fengjing City is coming with a great victory, but after all, the entire baggage force of the rear army has been completely strangled and cleaned up by Yan Chongwu's clever plan, and it has become a rootless tree and sourceless water in an instant, so there is no need to worry about it at all, and it is only a matter of time before it is completely wiped out; If Yan Chongwu is under his own 'command' in the future, and completely annihilates the invading enemy, then in the future, the prestige of his prince of the prison country, whether in the hearts of the people or in the government and the opposition, will reach an unprecedented height!

This immortal achievement has been clearly placed in front of his case. And what I have to do is just to add an official to this Yan Dashuai and comfort him.

Unexpectedly, he had just opened his mouth at this time, and was interrupted by Prime Minister Li Deng, who was sitting upright in the room.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Prison Country, although His Royal Highness was ordered to temporarily take over the post of Supervisor of the State at this time, Yan Chongwu, the commander of the Flying Bear Army, was already a marquis earlier; If His Royal Highness wants to be promoted to the position of prince in order to reward his military exploits, according to the laws of the court and the rules of the clan government, how can he also get His Majesty's approval, and then enter the Yongling Hall to pay tribute to the ancestors, before His Majesty can draw up a holy decree and promulgate the reward of the king......"

Although Li Deng's words are extremely complicated, the meaning of this is very clear: You Yan Tian is now only a prince of the prison country, although the military and civilians of the Beiyou Third Road are all under your disposal for the time being; But before you ascended the throne, you didn't have the right to reward your courtiers on your own! If you really want to be rewarded, ask your father who is pretending to be sick first, and Yan Jiuning, who is old and dizzy!

Yan Tian was stopped by Li Deng with high spirits, and he stuck the second half of the 'holy decree' in his throat, and he couldn't spit it out or swallow it. His appearance of staring with his mouth wide open made Li Deng feel very uncomfortable when he saw it. In this way, after the scene was cold for a while, Li Deng also felt a little reckless, so he looked left and right, smiled faintly and said:

"Your Highness doesn't need to worry, there are still 50,000 elite soldiers of Beiyan outside Fengjing City, and although the thief leader Guo Xiao has been ambushed at this time, at the same time, he has also concluded an incomprehensible blood feud with their Pingbei Army. And his son Guo Xing must also avenge this uncommon revenge for killing his father...... Therefore, according to the old minister, since the external troubles have not been eliminated at this time, it is naturally too early to promulgate the will of reward; And if the three armies are rewarded for meritorious deeds at this time, then when Yan Shuai solves the siege of Fengjing in the future, what can His Royal Highness reward at that time? ”

Yan Tian, who had just been splashed with a basin of cold water, heard what Li Deng said at this time, and suddenly realized in his heart: Yes, even if he gave a reward at this time, then Yan Chongwu remembered that it was also his own Laozi and Yan Jiuning's clan mansion, wouldn't he be busy in vain? And if he can really wipe out all the Pingbei troops in the future, then he will face the embarrassing situation of having no reward and no seal. Is it possible that you can still give up the dragon chair that you have just sat on for a few days?

Thinking of this, Yan Tian's complexion began to improve, and after pondering for a long time, he asked in an open-minded tone:

"Then according to Uncle Niang, how should the Lone King deal with this matter, so that it is more appropriate?"

"Hmm...... According to the old minister, although Yan Shuai was successful in the first battle, the large camp of the Flying Bear Army outside Jincheng was thrown out by him as a bait camp to lure the enemy before; As a result, the Flying Bear Army's heavy grain and grass will definitely not be able to be supplied in time......"

"No, uncle! Didn't they just seize the grain and grass of the old man Guo Xiao? How can there be a shortage of food? ”

When Li Deng heard this question, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and he twisted his fingers to explain it to him in detail:

"According to the ancestral law of my Youbei Three Roads, the generals who lead the troops and garrisons outside do not have the right to take care of the grain and grass. Whether it is the grain and grass supplies sown on time by the household department or the enemy funds captured on the battlefield, they must be handed over to the local government and Taiwan yamen for safekeeping and custody; After the magistrate receives the instructions from the household department, it will be redistributed to the quartermaster transfer officials of each family......"

"It's just a matter of distributing grain and grass, so why is it so cumbersome? Wouldn't it be over if you just let the commander of the army send someone to take it away? ”

When Yan Tian heard this extremely troublesome process, he immediately felt that his head was big. But it's annoying, and I also understand the key in my eyes: as the so-called three-point fat, after these local officials of the government and government lead the military rations, how much will they finally send out, which is greasy, but it's too big! And now the civil officials of Youbei Third Road are only Li Dengma's head!

Li Deng's expression was a little stiff in the face of this slightly embarrassing question:

"The reason why there are such troublesome rules is because the predecessor of my Youbei Third Road was originally the domain of Dayan in the former dynasty; At that time, the distribution of grain and grass in Dayan was directly received by the commanders and generals, and the result was that the princes and border commanders in various places supported their troops and respected themselves, until the last drop of blood of the Dayan Dynasty was drained, and they rose up one after another......"

When Yan Tian heard this, he nodded again and again, indicating that he had understood the key.

"But now that this clan uncle has achieved such a brilliant victory, he is alone as the prince of the prison country, and he is the younger generation of the clan, so he can't turn a blind eye, right? Then, according to my uncle, how should Lone reply to this battle watch that was returned to Yan Shuai? ”

When Li Deng heard Yan Tian asking him for advice, he suddenly smiled coldly in his heart: He couldn't be more clear about this nephew's temperament! Internally, his position as the crown prince of the prison state is unstable, and he urgently needs a big victory to establish his prestige; Externally, there is also Guo Xing, who wants to avenge his father, who is leading 50,000 elite tiger warriors to watch under Fengjing City; Asking oneself for advice under internal and external troubles is nothing more than making a gesture of relying on oneself very much, hoping that he can ensure the continuous supply of money, food, and ordnance, as well as the stability of the people's hearts and minds in the court.

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince. Your Highness, since you are ordered to supervise the country, the ministers should do their best to assist. But as far as the public is concerned, this matter is a sensitive matter between His Royal Highness and the generals who command the army abroad, and the minister, as the head of the civil officials, is really inconvenient to speak falsely; As for the private matter, the two of you belong to the same clan and bloodline, and there is no place for outsiders such as Weichen; Therefore, the minister can only ensure that Yan Shuai and the Flying Bear Army under his command are safe and secure; The rest is up to you, Your Highness, to decide. ”

After Li Deng finished speaking, he got up and left. And the crown prince Yan Tian did not continue to ask, but just stood up and personally sent his maternal uncle outside the Winter Warm Pavilion.

When Li Deng walked out of the west gate of the palace, he looked back at the high palace wall and muttered in his heart:

"Day'er, in the final analysis, you still have to fight for this throne yourself. No matter what you decide to do, you'll have to bear the consequences. ”
