Chapter 96: Mountain Rain is Coming
The ministers of the Wind Country, including the Wind King, all believed that Su Muzhi's military talent could not be compared with Yu Wenlie.
In the court, after some fierce debates, in the end, under the strong recommendation of Ding Rui, the left minister, Fengguo decided to appoint Ding Ze as the commander, and also increased the army to Hedong by 300,000.
Ding Ze is the eldest son of Ding Rui, the left minister, who is in his thirties, and he is indeed very capable, but the bad thing is that Ding Ze is not really going to fight at all!
In fact, if the Wind Country continued to increase troops to Hedong without changing the commander, Su Muzhi might not be defeated by Yu Wenlie.
But Chen Guang, the king of the wind, does not have the ability to know people well, and he has no eloquence, it is not difficult to see from his appointment of Ding Ze as the handsome that Chen Guang, the king of the wind, is actually relatively mediocre.
At least, he doesn't know how to check and balance power.
You must know that Ding Rui is the left minister of the Wind Country, with a high and powerful position, and at this time, his son Ding Ze has an army of more than 400,000, not only that, but the commander of the 10,000 forbidden army of the Wind King Palace is also Ding Rui's henchman!
It can be said that since Ding Ze took command, the power of the entire Wind Country has unknowingly fallen into the hands of Ding Rui.
In the court, there are many left-hand ministers, the forbidden army in the capital is also controlled by him, and the more than 400,000 central troops are under the command of his son Ding Ze!
If there is a change, the Ding family will take Chen Guang's life in the snap of a finger!
And after Ding Ze arrived at the Hedong battlefield, the first thing he did was to seize the military power in Su Muzhi's hands in the name of the commander of the Feng Army.
Subsequently, the two sides totaled a million troops, and finally launched a confrontation on the vast plain east of the river!
But the strange thing is that the coaches of both sides seem to have made an appointment, and they are not moving, just like this, I look at you, you look at me, and it looks like two months......
After that, Zhang Guo suddenly added 200,000 troops to Hedong! So far, in this Hedong War, the total strength of Zhang Guo has reached more than 700,000.
Seeing this, Ding Ze on the side of the Wind Country also immediately sent a letter to the imperial court, asking for more troops.
After the discussion of the court, Chen Guang did not think much about it, and once again increased his troops to Hedong by 200,000.
Then, Zhang Guo increased his troops again!
Ding Ze went to the book again, and this time, Chen Guang faintly felt a little worried, but Hedong was too important to the Wind Country! Moreover, the strength of the two sides has continued to surge, and it has reached this point, Chen Guang can't refuse, so he can only go down......
At this time, the 800,000 central army of the Wind Country had all been transferred to the Hedong battlefield, and the Zhang State side was almost equivalent to pouring the country's troops!
After several increases of troops on both sides, Zhang Guo finally began to attack.
At the beginning, Ding Ze commanded the whole army, and he fought well, the two sides came and went, winning and losing each other, but then, it was not the case at all.
The 800,000 central army of the Wind Country suddenly began to be unable to withstand it, and there was a strange trend of defeat and retreat, and the various fortresses where the whole army was stationed began to report defeat one after another, and in an instant, the army was defeated like a mountain......
And in the next short month, Ding Ze lost the entire Hedong County all the way, and this is not over, Zhang Guo's army, it can be said that he is carrying his ass, all the way to the hinterland of Fengguo......
The battle has reached this level, Su Muzhi has already sensed that something is wrong, because it stands to reason that his side is fighting on the mainland, taking advantage of the time and place, and the strength is not lost to Zhang Guo, even if it is a head-to-head confrontation, it is impossible to lose like this!
This defeat was so weird, Su Muzhi keenly smelled a trace of unusual taste, he went through the current power of the Wind Country in his mind, and immediately gasped, and in shock, he knew that the Wind Country might be about to change!
Su Muzhi did not show his opinion of himself, but sneaked out of the Feng Army camp on a rainy night.
He didn't dare to go back to Fengzhou, because in his opinion, if his guesses were true, then returning to the capital at this time would undoubtedly be killing himself! After he is a famous general, after returning to the capital, if he does not make his position clear, how will people tolerate him?
After he sneaked out of the barracks, he changed into a coarse linen, and after discerning the direction, he walked towards the north of the Wind Country.
A thoughtful and shrewd person, in addition to Su Muzhi, there is another person among the magnates of the Wind Country, and he is also keenly aware of the changes in the regime of the Wind Country.
This person's name is Sima Su, he is over half a hundred years old, and he is currently sick in bed, but he looks like a bad old man now, but in the early years, this person can be described as a generation of talented people.
He was known for his strategy, and during the reign of the previous Feng King, he lured Zhang's army into a trap with unpredictable plans, annihilated 260,000 enemy troops, and regained the ownership of Hedong for the Wind Kingdom in one fell swoop.
After that, Sima Su was involved in a whirlpool of power struggles, and later because of the sweep away of the powerful ministers and the crackdown on bad businessmen, and touched the interests of the high-level, offended many nobles of the Feng Kingdom, so he was jointly impeached and framed, although he was not killed, but he fell ill at home in his later years......
This time the battle of Fengzhang, when Hedong was inexplicably lost, Sima Su had already seen the strangeness, and now, the power of the DPRK and the central government has fallen into the hands of Ding Rui, the left minister, and then think of a few months ago, Fengzhang and the two countries strangely continued to increase troops, this is probably a big conspiracy......
Thinking of this, Sima Su, who was dying, immediately summoned his son Sima Wen, who first cheered up and said to his son with a worried expression:
"Now, the military and political power of the Feng Kingdom is in the hands of the Ding family, and I am worried about my father, in this Hedong War, Zhang Guo is just cooperating with acting, a conspiracy, Wen'er...... My king has been deceived by traitors, and he can't judge his authenticity, and something big is going to happen to the country of wind! The capital can't stay any longer! If you don't leave, I'm afraid it's really too late......"
After Sima Su fell ill, the young Sima Wen traveled everywhere to study, and now he has just returned home for less than half a month, so naturally he does not know much about the current situation between the DPRK and China.
How could Sima Wen not know his father's foresight, and now hearing Sima Su say this, he hurriedly asked, "Father! In that case, don't you go with your son? ”
Sima Su shook his head with difficulty, his lips were pale and chapped, without a trace of blood, and when he spoke, he seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and he was out of breath:
"For my father... He was seriously ill again, and his days were numbered...... Kewen'er, you're different! Place... Thou shalt not be nostalgic, but go out of the city overnight, and stay away from this evil......"
"Yes...... But the world is so big, where should I go......"
"Go...... Go to Northland, Binh Duong County...... If the country of wind is shocked, only ...... Only Lu Chen, the general of Zhenbei, can ...... Can ......"
Before he finished speaking, his raised arm had already fallen heavily on the edge of the bed, and the man was already dead of anger.
