Chapter 1362 Royal Driving Expedition
The army slowly moved forward, and Feng Shihu rode his horse and whipped up to approach Lin Feng.
Looking ahead, he said to Lin Feng: "Your Majesty, in recent days, the army has captured three cities in a row, but the main force of the Yue army is stationed in the north, specifically against the King of Jin, even if there is a defense, it will take time to transfer troops, and the last general proposes to lead the troops to jump over the nearby cities, directly capture the imperial city of Yue, take the lead in annexing the imperial city of Yue, and then divide the troops to go everywhere to quickly annex the counties of Yue."
Feng Shihu suggested that Lin Feng adopt the strategy of smashing the Yellow Dragon and strive for it once and for all.
Hearing this, Lin Feng was silent for a moment, accepted Feng Shihu's proposal, and said: "That's right, the terrain of Yue Country restricts the speed of the Yan army's march, but what the Yan army has done in Yue recently is really ink, and I will pass on my will, and order Ju Wentai and Feng Yi to be the vanguard, lead the army to the imperial city of Yue Kingdom, and seize any city that vainly tries to block the Yan army's advance.
You and Meng Kuo led the mechanized army, the iron cavalry, and changed the route to go directly to the imperial city of the Yue Kingdom, and opened the road in the mountains and filled the bridges in the water, and you must not be sloppy."
The proposal was supported by Lin Feng, Feng Shihu clenched his fists and said to Lin Feng: "The emperor can rest assured, the last general will never live up to the emperor's expectations."
Bidding farewell to Lin Feng, Feng Shihu rode his horse forward, joined Ju Wentai, Feng Yi, and Meng Kuo, and reminded loudly: "General Ju, General Feng, General Meng, the emperor's will, General Ju and General Feng lead the troops to be the forward, clear all the fetters to the imperial city of Yue, General Meng, you cooperate with the emperor and lead the troops to the imperial city of Yueguo quickly."
"General Feng, the emperor wants to attack the imperial city of Yueguo?" Ju Wen Taylor tightened the reins of his horse and stopped, turning his head and asking.
"That's right, the main force of the Yue army is gathered in the north, and the south of the Yue country is empty, and it is not worth the time of hundreds of thousands of Yan troops to fight fiercely, so it is so proposed to the emperor to go straight to the imperial city of the Yue country, does General Ju have any objections?" Feng Shihu Daoming proposed himself and asked Ju Wentai rhetorically.
"There is no objection to this, it is a wise move to lead the troops to directly attack the Imperial City of Yueguo, how can X refute it!" Ju Wentai said loudly, instead of annihilating a small number of Vietnamese troops in the move, it is better to directly lead the troops to the Imperial City of Yue, as long as the Imperial City of Yue is facing a crisis, I believe that Han Yan Xiding will gather all the Vietnamese troops near the Imperial City, which is a full blow to the Yan army, far more than breaking them one by one.
"The general's proposal is not wrong, besieging the imperial city of Yue Guo can also reduce the pressure on the King of Jin, if Han Yanxi asks Wu for help, he can even directly hit the Wu army and weaken the power of the Wu army." Feng Yi looked happy and said loudly: "I will immediately go to transfer troops and change the direction of the whole army."
"Together!" Ju Wentai followed closely.
Only Meng Kuo and Feng Shihu were left in front of the cavalry, and Meng Kuo said softly: "General Feng, the Imperial City of Yue Kingdom is surrounded by a spacious moat on all sides, and it is not easy to capture the city."
"General Meng, the emperor has a word first, open the road in the mountains and fill the bridge in the water, no matter what difficulties and obstacles lie ahead, you must seize the imperial capital of the Yue Kingdom!" Feng Shihu Daoming Lin Feng's attitude, of course. He still knows the terrain near the Imperial City of Yueguo.
Meng Kuo bowed slightly, looked into the distance, and said: "The emperor has the intention to seize the imperial city of Yue, and we, as generals, should go forward and support the emperor's decision."
The Yan army, which marched to the north of Yue in the wilderness, gradually changed its direction and headed towards the southeast of Yue.
A few days later, the Yan army seemed to prey on a giant beast, opened its bloody mouth, and continued to devour the southeast city of Yueguo, killing the imperial city of Yueguo with extreme speed.
With the main force of the Yan army approaching the imperial city of Yue, there are city generals who are frightened, before the Yan army has not arrived, they have abandoned the city and fled, and some generals gathered the Vietnamese army and resisted stubbornly until the city was broken.
For more than half a month, Ju Wentai and Feng Yi divided their troops into two ways according to Lin Feng's orders, and successively seized the seven cities of Yueguo, like a sharp sword to divide the south of Yueguo into two halves from the central melon.
The southern generals and people of the Yue Kingdom learned of the situation of the Yan army, and they had already become frightened birds, and their families moved, and the soldiers lost the city and quickly went to the imperial city of the Yue Kingdom.
Soon, the heralds of the southern cities quickly returned to the imperial city and reported the news to Han Yanxi, the Vietnamese army.
In the imperial palace, when the courtiers of the Yue Kingdom had not yet made arrangements, as the people and stragglers fled into the imperial city one after another, the military generals of Wencheng in the imperial city smelled an uneasy atmosphere.
gradually realized what the Yan army had done in the south of the Yue Kingdom, so that the people and soldiers bravely died in the world and came to the imperial city to avoid disaster.
On the day of arrival, there were more and more twists and turns in the dragon case presented by the civil ministers and military generals of all parties, and Han Yanxi was roughly informed of the war in the south and west of the Yue country.
It has been completely cleared, and the Yan army from the south and the west front of the two battlefields are constantly coming in the direction of the imperial city of Yue, and the two armies are thousands of miles apart, but they seem to echo each other from afar, fighting each other in an orderly manner.
Han Yanxi was dumb and ate coptis, and there were words of suffering.
In the past, when the state of Chu was strong, the state of Yue looked at its head and did not dare to be disrespectful.
finally managed to resolve the feud with Wu and join forces against Chu State, but they were suppressed by Yan and Chu respectively.
A month ago, Emperor Chu sent an envoy to Yue to requisition Aocheng, at the beginning, Han Yanxi privately thought that Emperor Chu was in Aocheng and turned out to be Emperor Yan and change the passive situation of the southern princes.
Unexpectedly, the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, and instead of killing Emperor Yan according to the plan, Emperor Chu was beaten by Emperor Yan and imprisoned in Aocheng for half a month, Xiong Heng took the opportunity to usurp the throne. It directly led to the split of Chu and the country.
There is no threat from the southern Chu State, and the naturally divided Chu State cannot bring any help to the Yue State.
This made Emperor Yan more and more arrogant, not only implementing a balancing strategy to weaken the power of Xiong Heng and Emperor Chu, but also personally leading the Northern Expedition, apparently preparing to quickly annex the Yue Kingdom.
However, how bad the situation in Vietnam is, Han Yanxi's heart is like a mirror.
Although the Wu army assisted the Yue army in resisting the Yan army, the battlefield was within the territory of the Yue country, and the more fierce the war, the more the Yue country's buildings and fertile fields were destroyed, and the more they depended on the Wu state.
Worst of all, the Wu-Yue coalition army fought many Yan troops on the Western Front, but instead of achieving any victory, they suffered a lot of casualties in several vicious battles.
Originally, with the scorching summer, the Yan army did not adapt to the southern environment, and the combat speed slowed down, when the Yan Emperor led the northern expedition, the Yan army on the western front was like a different person, not only did it not show signs of laziness before, but also the Yan Emperor sent Zhao Hongru to come, and the Yan army suddenly smelled the blood in the jungle, and continued to chase and beat the Wu Yue army.
Today, Emperor Yan led the army to quickly kill from the Yue Kingdom, and Han Yanxi had no choice but to gather his ministers and discuss the solution.
Soon, the seven civil and military generals in the imperial city hurriedly arrived in the palace, and the chamberlain led the ministers to the Jinluan Palace.
Yue is located in the south, because of the humid climate, rich products, the Yue court has a lot of money and grain, and the palace is built magnificently.
In the Jinluan Palace, the pillar of the dragon is carved, the ground is all paved with blue marble, the palace walls on both sides are the royal family of the Yue Kingdom and the military generals of the civil and military generals, in the troubled times of the princes, the picture scroll of opening up the territory and opening up the land is magnificent, showing the difficulty of opening up the territory at the beginning.
After about a cup of tea, the seven courtiers arrived in the Jinluan Palace, and Han Yanxi was standing in the center of the hall, looking at the picture scroll in the palace wall, with a sad expression.
However, there was no despair, and there was no giving up.
He firmly believes that the ancestors of the Yue Kingdom, regardless of the king, or the courtiers, in the era of war burning, people are not as good as dogs, through their own efforts, on the shore of the Yangtze River to establish the Yue Kingdom, the ancestors of the past dynasties in the vassal states eyeing the country, want to annex the Yue Kingdom, led the army to defeat the invasion of foreign enemies one by one.
Today, when the Yue Kingdom is in danger, as long as he is united with his courtiers, the people, and the monarchs and ministers, he may not be able to expel the Yan army.
The seven courtiers arrived in the Jinluan Palace, bowed down to Han Yanxi, and said, "Wechen has seen the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
When Han Yanxi heard this, he quickly turned around, picked up an old minister, and said with a kind expression: "Guo Qing, get up, you don't have to see outside."
Guo Xiaoyan got up, stood beside him, and asked, "Your Majesty, summon Weichen and others to come, but is it because Emperor Yan personally led the troops to kill in the direction of the imperial city?"
"Yue Yunshan, Mu Junchen led the troops to fight on the western front, and Emperor Yan led the troops to kill the imperial capital, I can't help but be anxious." Han Yanxi turned around and walked up the steps, sitting on the dragon chair, and said in a little anxiety in Long Yanzhong.
Although Yue Yunshan and Mu Junchen are from Chu and Cai respectively, they have served in Yue for many years and have become his right-hand men, leading the Yue army to block the invasion of the Yan army on the front line.
Since the Yan army went south again, Yue Yunshan took the lead in leading the troops to Cai State, but was unexpectedly betrayed by the soldiers, while Mu Junchen led the troops on the front line of the Yue State and cooperated with the generals of Wu State.
Yue Yunshan led the troops to be defeated in Yuejiang City, and led the troops to flee to the front line of the Yue Kingdom, and joined forces with Mu Junchen to fight against Lin Xiao.
As the war on the Western Front became more and more tense, and the pressure on Yue Yunshan and Mu Junchen became heavier and heavier, Han Yanxi did not dare to mobilize the generals on the Western Front, so he could only select generals from the imperial court and quickly lead the troops to the south.
Guo Xiaoyan heard the voice, and moved out of the ranks: "Your Majesty, Emperor Yan is bound to win the Yue Kingdom, at present, the Yan Kingdom has nearly one million troops in the south, and ninety percent of them are in the territory of the Yue Kingdom, not to mention, the two most powerful people in the Yan Dynasty's royal family are rapidly approaching the imperial city from two different directions.
Wei Chen privately thought that the emperor should drive the expedition in person and go to the south to fight to the death with Emperor Yan."
After the words fell, the imperial study room was suddenly quiet, and a military general wearing armor strode out and said: "Prime Minister, the Yue Kingdom should fight to the death with the Yan Kingdom, but the emperor is driving the expedition in person, is it too risky, the emperor, the last general Yan Hu is willing to lead the troops to the south for the emperor to fight to the death with the Yan Emperor."
"Yan Hu, you lead the troops to resist Emperor Yan for the emperor, maybe it will cause trouble to Emperor Yan, but it is far less far-reaching than the emperor personally driving the expedition, you should know that the emperors of the northern and southern princes, only Emperor Yan often drives the expedition in person, how strong the Yan army is, presumably through General Yue, General Mu's words, you should be clear.
What's more, no matter whether it is the southern princes or the northern princes, when the Yan army approached the imperial capital, none of them escaped the disaster of breaking the city.
Today, the emperor should take advantage of the fact that the monarchs and ministers of the Yan State and the people still have cohesion, and personally drive the expedition in person, which is easy to unite the Vietnamese army and easily arouse the support of the people everywhere."
Hearing this, Han Yanxi's expression was firm, without a moment of hesitation, and said: "General Yan, Prime Minister, it is not a problem for me to personally drive the expedition, I also want to see how powerful Emperor Yan is, but with Lin Xiao and Zhao Hongru chasing and fighting on the Western Front, the imperial court no longer has many troops.
