Chapter 374 Stretched
Yao Xishui expected that the king of Xin, Yang Yuanyan, and Anning Palace would win the first battle, but he did not expect that when the main force of the Chuzhou army was blocked in Yangzhou, north of the Yangtze River, and could not cross the river to the south to reinforce the situation, the two of them had a total of less than 15,000 soldiers and horses in Runzhou.
She didn't expect that Yang Yuanyan would be able to win this battle with such inferior troops and defeat Xu Zhu's department.
They expected in advance that the soldiers and horses in Chuzhou were not weak, but they never thought that Yang Yuanyan, the king of letters, would be strong to this point.
Li Chong said that when his father Xinchanghou Li Pu was about to be unable to resist, Xinwang Yang Yuanyan personally led 800 silver halberds to kill him, which actually meant to cover up for his father Xinchang Hou Li Pu.
Yao Xishui took the secret letter, although the information written by the scout was not very detailed, but it also clearly said that Li Pu's troops and horses had been defeated by Xu Zhu at that time, and when Xu Zhu launched his troops and horses to attack the Chuzhou forward general Rao Geng's department, Yang Yuanyan, the king of letters, came out of the depths of the mountain col in ambush and directly attacked the Chinese army array of the Nanya Forbidden Army that was slowly advancing from the front of the mountain pass.
The ambush of Yang Yuanyan, the king of letters, not only disrupted the Chinese army array of the Nanya Forbidden Army, but also killed its main general, Xu Zhu, the deputy commander of the Ma Bu Army of the marching camp of all armies, in an instant, the enemy army collapsed, and more than 10,000 heads were killed on the battlefield, and finally only more than 10,000 people left in the Nanya Forbidden Army retreated to Qiuhu Mountain.
The battle of King Yang Yuan is not only extremely brave, like the god of war in the world, but what is even more heart-warming is that he accurately deduced the development of the war in advance and seized the opportunity in the chaotic battlefield.
The whole battle situation was completely based on the headquarters of Xinchang Hou Li Pu as bait, luring Xu Zhu's whole army to press, luring Xu Zhu to desperately want to defeat the coalition troops assembled in Runzhou in one fell swoop, and inadvertently told the vulnerable Chinese army to move forward and completely exposed.
Xinwang Yang Yuan's performance is so powerful, he used this risk trick to the peak, and even achieved the effect of killing two birds with one stone!
Even if this strategy was devised by Wang Wenqian and others for him, Yang Yuanyan dared to use such a risky strategy, and he could accurately seize the fighter in the intricate and unpredictable war, and the strength of the army and the army was definitely far above the ordinary generals in the world.
Yao Xishui read the letter, and also looked at Chun Shisanniang with shock, and didn't know what to say for a while, they also knew that Yang Yuanyan, the king of letters, was good at governing the army, but they never thought it would be so strong.
"We have sent someone to inform Chai Jian, are you going to wake up the concubine first and find the lady?" Li Chong asked with a big head.
He didn't expect that when the situation in Yueyang was quite good, there would be such a change in the situation in Jinling.
They can accept that King Xinwang Yang Yuanyan defeated Xu Zhu in the first battle, but they thought that when Xu Mingzhen led the elite of Shouzhou to cross the river, no matter how strong Yang Yuanyan was, he would definitely not feel good, and they would never imagine that King Xinwang Yang Yuanyan would win the first battle so easily and so brilliantly.
What's more, the nearly 7,000 elites of the Dragon Bird Army in Runzhou were used as bait by Yang Yuanpu, the king of letters, in this battle, and they were once defeated, and the generals suffered heavy losses.
Even if they hold back their anger and don't tear their faces, the few remaining remnants of the defeated army will remain in Jinling, and I am afraid they will not have the ability to contain or balance the Chuzhou army!
Chun Thirteen Niang didn't care that the concubine had just gone to bed, she went to the dormitory to wake up the concubine, and Yao Xishui ran to the west side of the courtyard to find Mrs. Heisha.
In addition to sending people to invite Chai Jian, they also sent people to invite Zheng Yu, Zheng Chang, Han Daoming, Zhang Ping, Zhou Yuan and others to come over to discuss how to deal with the current situation.
If the Anning Palace is so vulnerable, the choice they have to make next may make them themselves not be able to turn around for a while!

"King Xin defeated the Nanya Forbidden Army in Jingshan Nunnery?"
Han Daoming received the news, hurriedly rushed to Cishou Palace, and saw that his second brother Han Daochang, Zheng Yu, Zheng Chang, Zhang Ping, Chai Jian, Zhou Yuan and others had already arrived, and after the long case of sitting under the concubine in two columns, the shock in his heart had not yet been ironed out.
"But it's not, I thought that Xinchanghou could become the mainstay in Runzhou, but who knew that he was still used as bait by the king of Xin, and all the good chips were lost."
Wang Chan'er pretended to be a virtuous aunt and good woman in front of the county lord of Qingyang for a long time, and she was also so wronged by the strong request of the Marquis of Xinchang and the Late Red Mansion, and she was sleeping with the evil fire in her heart.
Wang Chan'er was favored by Emperor Tianyou when she was young, and then she lived in seclusion in the palace, lacking imagination about things on the battlefield, so she didn't understand how shocked everyone was when Xinwang Yang Yuan played this battle, but simply felt that Xinchang Hou Li Pu was not good, and couldn't help but ridicule two sentences first.
Chai Jian and Li Chong's faces were ugly.
The so-called success and defeat of the king, Li Pu led the elite in Runzhou, although the number of soldiers and horses gathered under his command was not large, but they were all plenipotentiary representatives of Yueyang, cooperating with Chuzhou, he was also the only commander of Yueyang's soldiers and horses to lead the troops to fight abroad, so Li Pu was in addition to the right of Xingshangshu Province, and also gave the title of privy deputy envoy and military governor.
And Li Chong and Chai Jian, as their sons and sons-in-law, have a heavy weight in Yueyang, and it is difficult for others to ignore their opinions.
Now it's okay, Xinchang Marquis Li Pu will be ridiculed, and he will be responsible for the heavy losses of the soldiers and horses in Runzhou, Li Chong and Chai Jian are in Yueyang, can they still see the good faces given to them by others?
Yao Xishui and Chun Shisanniang, as the female palace of Cishou Palace, were guarding behind the concubine at this time, and their faces were not good-looking, partly because the concubine ridiculed Li Houye regardless of the occasion, indicating that she was also dissatisfied with them in her heart, and more worried about the current situation.
Who would have imagined that King Xin, Yang Yuanyan, and the Chuzhou army would be so strong?
Zheng Yu squinted his eyes slightly, noticing the two young and beautiful female palaces behind the concubine, and when the concubine complained, his eyes swept over Lu Qingxia, the envoy of Cishou Palace, who was sitting behind the concubine.
The Zheng family has long known that Yao Xishui and Chun Thirteen Niang are disciples cultivated by the Xinchang Marquis Mansion, and when the Xinchang Marquis Mansion conspired with Han Qian to support the three princes, the second daughter joined the secret Cao Zuo Si founded by Han Qian, and was active between the government and the opposition as Zhang Ping's righteous daughter, and before the Jinling Incident, because of Zhang Ping's identity as a righteous daughter, she was recruited by the concubine to Cishou Palace to serve as a female palace.
Zheng Yu believes that the concubine knows these things in her heart, and perhaps these are the prerequisites for the concubine to obtain the full support of the Xinchang Marquis Mansion.
However, Lu Qingchen, the envoy of Cishou Palace, is quite mysterious, she not only has a rather masculine name, as a female companion who accompanied the concubine when she was a maid in the Guangling Festival, and helped the concubine escape the murder of the Anning Palace many times, and is also a nurse who grew up taking care of the third prince Yang Yuanpu, at this time she naturally has a very special status in the palace.
Zheng Yu noticed the subtle interaction between Yao Xishui, Li Chong and others and Lu Qingchen, as well as the concubine's words and deeds subconsciously fearing Lu Qingchen, so he guessed that Anning Palace's rebuke of Xinchang Marquis Li Pu for colluding with the concubine more than ten years ago to cause trouble in the inner palace may be true, and Lu Qingchen and Zhang Ping are quite key figures.
Of course, Zheng Yu guessed this, but there was no fuss.
In the current troubled times, how many of the giants living in the present are not racking their brains and scheming, and which one is clean and innocent behind them?
At this point, everyone is undoubtedly gathered together for their own interests, and the Zheng family is qualified and has the strength to form its own line, so it is only necessary to pay attention to the role of Lu Qingchen as a woman and the interests of the concubine and the Xinchang Marquis Mansion when cooperating with the Marquis of Xinchang and the concubine.
Zheng Chang is always intelligent, but his mind at this moment is not on pondering the delicate relationship between Lu Qingchen and the concubine Wang Chan'er of Cishou Palace, he is always decisive, and he is also hesitant for the current situation at this moment, and he looked at everyone and asked:
"Do you want Your Highness and Shen Yang and other adults to come to the Carrier Hall to discuss this matter?"
This incident had a great impact on everyone in Yueyang, and there was no need for them to conspire behind closed doors and exclude Yang Yuanpu, the king of Tan, and Shen Yang.
Lu Qingchen, the envoy of Cishou Palace, said indifferently: "Your Highness is happy today, even if you want to report to Your Highness, it is better to wait until tomorrow - besides, it is not the time when the sky is falling apart and everyone is panicking." ”
"Don't bother Pu'er tonight." Wang Chan'er echoed.
Han Daoming, Zheng Yu, and Zheng Chang glanced at each other, thinking that what the envoy of Cishou Palace said was very true, His Royal Highness and the Lord of Qingyang County had just entered the happy room for an hour, maybe at this time, when the love was blazing, they sent people to alarm His Highness, which was really a big mess, and it also seemed that they were too uncalm and too frightened.
Besides, something has already happened, and it won't get in the way of His Highness a day earlier or a day later, the key is what countermeasures can they come up with while sitting here?
Thinking of this, Han Daoming was somewhat helpless, and even secretly regretted that he should not have been so eager to get together with the concubine and Xinchang Hou Li Pu when he escaped from Jinling, but who would have thought in advance that His Royal Highness would be so brave, who would have thought that Xinchang Hou Li Pu would be so unbearable?
Even if they couldn't see through the strategy of Yang Yuanyan and Wang Wenqian, as long as he led the elite soldiers and horses from the Taowu Jijun Mansion to resist the impact of the Nanya Forbidden Army, they would not be so passive.
Speaking of which, the main force of the Dragon Bird Army led by Han Qian and Li Zhihe when they held on to Xichuan back then were not mainly soldiers from the Taowu Military Mansion?
At that time, the soldiers of the Taowu Military Government had just gotten rid of the miserable days of starvation and exile, most of them were yellow and thin, and even many people were sick.
In such a situation, Han Qian and Li Zhihe assisted the three princes to achieve such a brilliant victory in Xichuan, Li Pu recruited soldiers from the Taowu Military Mansion three years later, and the quality of individual soldiers was not known to be much higher than three years ago, and he would be the first to be defeated by Xu Zhu's department?
Could it be that the gap between people is really so big, or is there another reason why Lip has lost so badly in comparison?
Han Daoming was thinking nonsense in his heart, and Zheng Chang said in a deep voice:
"Our top priority is to increase our troops in Ezhou, and we can't delay going down to the clouds any longer!"
Zheng Chang's self-question and self-answer were a little abrupt, Han Daoming was slightly stunned, and then saw Zheng Yu sitting opposite him, his red face was as gloomy as the river in the night, and at this time, he nodded with a solemn expression.
Han Daoming also understood why Zheng Yu and Zheng Chang advocated this, and secretly felt that they still did not forget to maintain the interests of the Zheng family in Huangzhou.
