Chapter 1412 White and Black
Surprised that Wang Zhengwen ignored the overall situation and killed the generals in battle, affecting the momentum!
and stunned to garrison 100,000 elite Liuli City, in the Yan army chased and attacked fiercely, the long border defense line on the Western Front quietly appeared a gap.
The long defense is broken, the Yan army seizes the opportunity, and even soon breaks through the defense of the western front, and hundreds of thousands of Yan army elite cavalry and sailors will rush in like a tide and go straight to the hinterland of Wu.
Zhao Yanyu wants to build a super city wall blueprint in Gusu City, but it may not have succeeded, so it will be in vain!
In silence, An Yunqi said anxiously: "Your Majesty, Wang Zhengwen killed Lin Jianlu before the battle, affecting the morale of the army, and he is the main culprit in the change of ownership of Liuli City.
Over the years, Wang Zhengwen has led the Northern Expedition one after another, and each time, he was either defeated in front of the Song army or severely damaged by the Yan army.
Five or six Northern Expeditions, hundreds of thousands of elites were killed, seriously dragging down the national strength of Wu.
An Yunqi, as a doctor on the right, has written many times, hoping that the court will punish him, but without exception, he was sheltered by Zhao Yanyu.
This time, the state of Wu is facing life and death, Wang Zhengwen dares to act rashly, behead the generals, ignore the military regulations, ignore the imperial court, and must be severely punished.
"Lord An, General Wang is righteous and awe-inspiring, dedicated to the country, although the times are bad and he has been defeated repeatedly, he has never done anything sorry for the Wu State and betrayed the emperor, how can he say that he will be killed." Wang Wenchang sharply refuted An Yunqi's suggestion, looked at the other party's cold expression, full of murderous aura, and said loudly: "On the other hand, Lin Jianlu, in the past, Ye Liufan's prestige, gathered people to gamble in the army, took prostitutes, and violated military regulations many times.
This time, drinking in battle and delaying the attack, it may not be a fabrication by General Wang!"
Hearing this, An Yunqi was secretly angry, and shouted: "Wang Wenchang, as a royal envoy, you have shielded the generals of the defeated army many times, and this official suspects that you Wang Wenchang is a secret minister from Yan State, singing and harmonizing, deliberately consuming the elite of Wu State!"
Dark ministers?
When Wang Wenchang heard this, he was covered in cold sweat, glared at An Yunqi fiercely, and hurriedly turned to Zhao Yan and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister has been wronged, the old minister began to be an official in the first emperor dynasty thirty years ago, and he will never secretly collude with the Yan State to damage the interests of the Wu State!"
At this moment, Zhao Yanyu is exhausted, his thoughts are complicated, the Western Front was broken through by the Yan army, how to stop the Yan army, there is no perfect strategy, how can he have time to deal with Wang Wenchang and An Yunqi!
couldn't help but shout: "Have you made enough trouble?"
Immediately, he waved his sleeves in a huff, turned around and walked towards Gusu City!
As he was moving forward, he shouted to the guards beside him: "Immediately summon Zhao Yanshang, the king of freedom, and Chen Wei, the chief lieutenant, to enter the palace!"
"Yes!"
The guard replied and hurried to the city!
Wang Wenchang, who was reprimanded, An Yunqi trembled, glanced at each other, and chased after Zhao Yanyu angrily!
Zhao Yanyu was panicked, according to his estimate, the 300,000 elites on the Western Front should at least delay the Yan army until the cold winter.
Unexpectedly, after confronting the Yan army for two decades, Liuli City, which was located in the north, was easily broken by the Yan army!
In addition, Ye Liufan has recently been transmitted back to the cities on the official roads in the south of Nanjiang City, which have been successively broken by the mechanical army under Meng Kuo's tent, and the crisis of the Wu army on the western front is far beyond expectations!
Wang Zhengwen's Northern Expedition harmed hundreds of thousands of Wu troops, and he was even worried that Ye Liufan, who was known as the famous general of Wu State, would not only not delay the Yan army in a battle on the Western Front, but would even lead 300,000 elite Wu troops to a dead end.
Once the border defense of the western front of Wu collapsed, the Yan army entered a no-man's land and broke into the hinterland of Wu State, and his plan to build Super Gusu City and consume the blueprint of the Yan army's vital force may exist in fantasy!
Rushing back to the palace in a rage, Zhao Yanshang, the king of leisure, and Chen Wei, the imperial lieutenant, arrived outside the imperial study in advance and waited under the corridor.
Beckoning the two to enter the palace, Wang Wenchang and An Yunqi also walked in quickly!
Zhao Yanyu sent the letter to King Xiaoyao, and said weakly: "Third brother, I'm bothering you, let's take a look!"
King Xiaoyao has not participated in the affairs of the imperial court for a long time, and has taken more guards to tour the princely countries, and has just returned to Wu recently!
According to Zhao Yanyu's strong personality and domineering style of the court, if there is no solution, he will easily not summon King Xiaoyao into the palace, so as not to affect the other party's Yaxing.
At the critical moment of the Wu Kingdom, the King of Xiaoyao, as a member of the royal family of the Wu Kingdom, has rich experience and is not informal, it is time to give advice to the Wu State and participate in the defense of the Wu State!
King Xiaoyao took the letter, quickly browsed it, and when he was young, he handed the letter to the lieutenant Chen Wei, got up and walked to the center of the study, hugged his fists and said to Zhao Yan: "Brother Huang, Liuli City has been broken by the Yan army, if nothing else, I am afraid that it will be difficult to regain it from the control of the Yan army!"
However, if you don't recapture Liuli City, it will always pose a very big threat to Xinglong City and Nanjiang City downstream, so my brother suggested that no matter how much it costs, you must recapture Liuli City from the control of the Yan army!
Only when the defense of the Western Front is complete can we ensure that the hinterland of Wu will not be invaded!"
Hearing this, Zhao Yanyu often took a breath and asked: "Third brother, your proposal is right, keeping the defense of the Western Front intact is the best strategy to resist the Yan army's advance, however, you have been traveling all year round, and you may not know the situation of Liuli City.
Emperor Yan's iron heart destroyed the defense of the western front, Feng Yi and Mu Junchen led the troops to seize Liuli City, if I guessed correctly, there are a few 100,000 Yan troops in the city, and the Yan army is good at defending the city and fighting, and is good at land warfare.
"That's right, there are almost 100,000 Yan troops, when the younger brother returned from the Western Front, I heard that Emperor Yan Lin Feng went to the Jin King Lin Xiao Corps, and Liuli City changed hands, and most of the two of them went to Liuli City, so there is not much time left for us!"
"That's right, the imperial court has difficulties in the imperial court, the eastern front is fighting on two fronts, many generals are sent to the front line, and the imperial court has few generals who are good at fighting and have actual combat experience!" Zhao Yan said his difficulties.
King Xiaoyao's face did not change, and his tone was firm: "Brother Huang, when my brother traveled to other countries, he got acquainted with many generals of the former vassal states, although they were defeated in the battle with the Yan army, they had rich combat experience, and in addition, they were very dissatisfied with Emperor Yan's invasion of the territory of their respective countries and the imprisonment of the kings of their respective countries.
As long as the imperial brother is willing, the younger brother will write a letter to invite, I believe that within two months, at least ten good generals will be invited to assist Wu in the battle!
At that time, the Imperial Brother may have plenty of time to complete the Super Gusu City Plan!"
"Most of them are generals of the defeated army, even if they bear the hatred of the country and the family, in front of the Yan army's iron cavalry, I am afraid that they still have no power to parry!" Zhao Yanyu was a little worried, after all, when he fought for the country in the past, he couldn't stop the Yan army from moving forward, and when he came to fight in the Wu country, would there be a transformation?
"Brother Huang, Shibei should be impressed for three days, not to mention, with their assistance, the signs of the widowhood of the major generals of the Wu army can be resolved!" The King insisted.
"Okay, a dead horse should be a live horse doctor!" Zhao Yanyu didn't wipe the face of King Yaoyao, and was very reluctant to agree!
Immediately, his gaze turned to Taiwei Chen Wei and asked, "Taiwei, what do you think, do you agree with King Xiaoyao's suggestion to counterattack Liuli City?"
The Taiwei got up and walked forward, stood up beside King Xiaoyao, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Weichen agrees with King Xiaoyao's proposal, and in addition, it is recommended that Ye Liufan lead the troops to attack Liuli City, and Wang Zhengwen will personally be in charge of the war on the Western Front!"
"Taiwei Chen, not long ago, General Ye sent a herald to send back a letter, asking Wang Zhengwen to ignore military discipline, ignore the imperial court, and kill Lin Jianlu at will, and he is the culprit of the change of ownership of Liuli City, the big war is imminent, how can you change generals before the battle, and let Wang Zhengwen preside over the overall situation!" An Yunqi suddenly heard the Tai Lieutenant's proposal, and rushed out with staggering steps, and was righteous and suspicious of the Tai Lieutenant's proposal!
Unexpectedly, Chen Wei turned around and glanced at An Yunqi contemptuously, and said: "An Yushi, you have been a speech official for half your life, and you are still a speech official, but you have been replaced by Lord Wang, but this official doubts your ability to do things."
Immediately, Chen Wei ignored An Yunqi, whose face was hot, took out a copy of the fold from the sleeve of his official uniform, and said: "Your Majesty, this is Chen Beiming's handwritten letter, and before Weichen entered the palace, it was just sent back from the Western Front!"
When Zhao Yanyu heard this, he motioned to the waiter next to him to get the letter, got the letter and quickly browsed it, and gradually became angry, and asked, "Lord Chen, are you sure that the letter is correct?"
"Your Majesty, have you forgotten? Chen Beiming came from the palace chamberlain, and was one of the hundred young generals personally trained by the emperor, and he has been serving under Ye Liufan for a long time!" Taiwei reminded Zhao Yanyu.
"In this way, Ye Liufan is deliberately deceiving me, shielding Lin Jianlu, and framing Wang Zhengwen!" Zhao Yanyu suddenly realized, Long Yan was cold, gritted his teeth and roared: "Is Ye Liufan looking for death?"
"Your Majesty, whether Ye Liufan deceived the emperor or not, judging from the letter sent back by Chen Beiming, it is self-evident." Chen Weiwei agreed, but did not dwell on the matter, and said: "What Weichen wants to say, before Liuli City changed hands, Wang Zhengwen sought fighters to lead troops into battle and eliminate many Yan troops.
In fact, the Yan army was too strong, and the elite under Wang Zhengwen did not have time to rest, so he was forced to fight against the elite Yan army under Feng Yi's account again, so he was defeated.
However, for a long time, Ye Liufan led his troops to garrison Xinglong City, facing the Yan army warships in the middle of the Long River outside the city, and the provocative Yan army on the other side, but insisted on defending as the offensive strategy!
In doing so, Wei Chen couldn't guess what Ye Liufan meant, and the result was that the Yan army gradually weakened the strength of the two wings of the western defense line, and finally gathered heavy troops to storm Xinglong City, completely destroying the western defense line of Wu State."
"Your Majesty, what the captain said is true, General Wang has been defeated repeatedly, but he continues to learn in failure, and gradually figure out General Yan's combat style and Yan army's character, on the other hand, General Ye seems to be playing in the mountains and rivers, and chooses to wait for work, this is definitely not a long-term plan to fight against the Yan army, let alone the best strategy to resist and expel the Yan army!" Chen Weiwei coincided with his own suggestion, and Wang Wenchang did not give up the idea of expressing his thoughts!
"Taiwei, Wang Yushi, judging from the letters sent back by Chen Beiming, Wang Zhengwen's performance on the Western Front is indeed much better than Ye Liufan!" Zhao Yanyu agreed with Chen Weiwei and Wang Wenchang's proposal, but he also had his own concerns, and said: "However, don't forget, most of the elites on the Western Front are trained by Ye Liufan, and Ye Liufan protects his shortcomings, and many generals are loyal to him. Wang Zhengwen lost Liuli City, but promoted him to be the chief general of the Western Front, which will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among many generals on the Western Front.
Therefore, if you want to recapture Liuli City, you can't help but increase your troops to the Western Front, and even more so send generals who can suppress Ye Liufan!"
Zhao Yanyu was worried that Ye Liufan would be unruly and unruly, and he would be difficult to tame like a wild horse on the frontier, if he suddenly weakened the opponent's military power, he was demoted and ordered to lead his troops to attack Liuli City, which caused Ye Liufan to be dissatisfied, caused the Western Front army to mutiny, and even led the troops to surrender to Yan State, which would not make Wu State fall into a catastrophe!
Hearing this, Chen Weiwei stepped forward and bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the state of Wu is in crisis, and Weichen is willing to lead the troops to the Western Front, control the overall situation of the Western Front, and order Ye Liufan to recapture Liuli City and restore the integrity of the defense of the Western Front!"
