Volume VI The Battle of the Northern Frontier

Chapter 2 The two armies are fighting against the DPRK

Section 5: Secret War (3)

After Yuan Mingxuan came out of the Wei Mansion, he immediately turned two of his subordinates, did not make any stops, and hurriedly left the capital at night, and the three of them galloped all the way towards Tongzhou, and finally rushed back to the Tongzhou General Military Mansion at midnight.

Yuan Mingxuan, who was covered in dust and wore stars and moons, couldn't take a break, and hurriedly found Sun Yuanhua, who was still staying up late to deal with official business, and said directly: "Lord Sun, this trip to the capital is not in vain!" Wei Zhongxian was indeed genuinely opposed to the proposal to withdraw troops. ”

Sun Yuanhua was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "In this case, we will have a strong reinforcement, and it seems that the proposal to withdraw the army must not be passed." ”

Who knew that Yuan Mingxuan shook his head and said: "Judging from the current situation, it is indeed difficult to pass the proposal of withdrawing the army, but I went to the capital this time and found something even more dangerous than the withdrawal of the army. ”

Sun Yuanhua was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Could it be that something happened in the DPRK and China?" ”

"Wei Zhongxian is ready to take the opportunity of this withdrawal to remove the forces of the Lin Party in the east of the DPRK, so as to install the forces of the Eunuch Party." Yuan Mingxuan frowned and said, "I estimate that it won't be long before a party dispute breaks out between the DPRK and China!" The army of the Liao expedition on the front line of the Thousand Mountains will definitely be implicated. ”

Sun Yuanhua was stunned after hearing this, and said after a while: "This means that once Wei Zhongxian decides to make a move, there will be turmoil in the DPRK and China, and there is a possibility that the supply of the Liao army will be cut off immediately?" ”

"That's right!" Yuan Mingxuan sighed and said, "Although Wei Zhongxian has repeatedly assured me that he will never do anything that endangers the dynasty and the Han Wei army, such a verbal promise cannot be made. Once the party struggle breaks out, it will be a life-and-death contest, where will Wei Zhongxian care about the life and death of tens of thousands of soldiers in our Tongzhou Town and Hanwei Army? Wei Zhongxian will only go all out to fight to the death with the Donglin Party! ”

Sun Yuanhua hurriedly said: "We must report this matter to the little general, if it really doesn't work, we can only withdraw the army first, we can't risk the annihilation of the army to gamble on Wei Zhongxian's reputation!" ”

Yuan Mingxuan sighed and said very sadly: "Withdrawing the army, the sacrifices of tens of thousands of soldiers will all be in vain; If the army is not withdrawn, once the situation in the DPRK is turbulent and the supply is cut off, it will be the end of the total annihilation. Unexpectedly, the dynasty had just won a battle, and in the blink of an eye, it became such a dilemma! If Liaodong is really lost, it will be buried by those scum in the DPRK and China! They are all sinners of the ages in China! ”

Sun Yuanhua's eyes were also slightly red, and he said: "The matter has come to this, we can only do our best." Lord Yuan, I think it's better to send someone to deliver a letter to the little general overnight, this matter can't be delayed any longer. ”

"It's too late!" Yuan Mingxuan thought for a moment and said, "According to my estimate, the reinforcements led by Lu Ying should have converged with the little general now, and the grain and grass carried by the army can only support the soldiers for more than 20 days. And the imperial court may change at any time, if we send someone to send a letter by land, it will take twenty days just to send a letter back and forth, not to mention escorting grain and grass, once the army grain and grass are cut off, and there is no hurry to transport grain and grass from Tongzhou to save the emergency! ”

"What a good thing this is!" Sun Yuanhua said with a pale face.

Yuan Mingxuan thought carefully for a moment and said, "Take the sea route!" Mr. Sun, starting tomorrow, you will load all the grain and grass that can be raised in Tongzhou Town, and prepare it for shipment at any time. I know that Lushun Haoshang Qian Mingli has a warehouse in Tianjin Wei, I will go there to find a sea boat, and personally lead people across the sea to Liaodong! Master Sun is sitting in Tongzhou, wait for my news! ”

Sun Yuanhua nodded heavily and said, "Then it's hard for Lord Yuan, once I receive the news from Lord Yuan, I will immediately ship all the grain and grass." ”

That night, Yuan Mingxuan brought three days of dry food, called three of his subordinates and set off overnight, and the group galloped towards Tianjin Wei, and in the early morning of the next day, Yuan Mingxuan and his party rushed to the outside of the Tianjin Acropolis. Yuan Mingxuan looked at the city wall under the morning sun tiredly, his mood was very low, and he dragged his tired body into the city with his subordinates, and found a two-story warehouse.

Yuan Mingxuan dismounted with the support of his subordinates, and was just about to step forward and knock on the door, when he heard someone calling behind him.

"Isn't this Lord Yuan? It's been a long time since we've seen each other! How is Lord Yuan lately? ”

Yuan Mingxuan hurriedly looked back, immediately laughed, and said excitedly: "God help me!" God bless the Han Wei Army! Now the little general is worry-free! ”

It turned out that the person who stopped Yuan Mingxuan was Qian Mingli, who came to Tianjin to do the goods, Yuan Mingxuan hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Qian Mingli's hand and said, "Don't come outside the Qian staff to be safe!" I was about to visit on an important matter, but I didn't expect to meet someone here, what a providence! Ha ha. ”

Qian Mingli said with a smile: "Lord Yuan said that he was joking, if there is anything to do, just open your mouth!" A few days ago, I heard that the little general had led an army to Liaodong, and recreated a slave army in Qianshan, and beheaded Li Yongfang, a traitor, which is really happy! I was so drunk for three days and three nights! If Lord Yuan has any orders, as long as it is the matter of the little general, as long as it is the matter of the soldiers of the Hanwei Army, I will not hesitate to go bankrupt and give up this old life! ”

"The money clerk is serious, here's the thing." Yuan Mingxuan immediately briefly talked about the proposal for the withdrawal of the imperial court and the upcoming party struggle, and then continued: "Outside of Qian Yuan, the situation of the little general and the soldiers of the Liao expedition is very dangerous now, whether the court orders the withdrawal of the army, or the disaster of the party dispute, the supply of the Liao army may be cut off. Therefore, I would like to ask Qian Yuanwai to help mobilize a large number of sea ships to transport a large amount of grain and grass raised by Tongzhou Town to Liaodong, so I will go north from Tianjin Wei and transport it by sea. As long as the little general has enough grain and grass in his hands, whether he is looking for an opportunity to withdraw to the Guannai or continue to fight against Jiannu, there will be leeway! ”

After hearing this, Qian Mingli's face couldn't help but change greatly, and he exclaimed: "I really didn't expect that the national dynasty had just won a big victory, and the situation became so dangerous in the blink of an eye!" It's incredible! In this way, Lord Yuan hurried into the house, let's discuss it carefully! ”

Yuan Mingxuan couldn't ask for it, so he hurriedly walked into the warehouse with Qian Mingli, and the three subordinates brought by Yuan Mingxuan immediately guarded the door of the warehouse.

An hour later, Qian Mingli hurriedly left the warehouse with a group of men and rushed towards the dock of Tianjin Wei. Yuan Mingxuan, on the other hand, called all three of his subordinates over and said, "Zhao Da, you go back to Tongzhou immediately and tell Lord Sun that I have found enough sea boats, so that Lord Sun can immediately load all the grain and grass in Tongzhou Town and transport them to Tianjin, and they must be delivered within two days!" In addition, tell Lord Sun that I will go to Liaodong with the fleet and personally escort this batch of grain and grass to the Qianshan camp, and ask Lord Sun to worry about all the affairs of Tongzhou Town. ”

Zhao Da said: "Don't worry, the villain will definitely deliver the news!" ”

After that, Yuan Mingxuan said to another subordinate: "Zhang Er, you rush to the dock immediately, Qian Yuanwai has already prepared a sea ship there, and you immediately set off from the sea and land to the Qianshan camp." As far as I know, Lord Huang of the Ministry of War has informed the little general of the recent situation in the imperial court, and I have also passed on the news, and now the little general should already know that the imperial court is about to undergo great changes. After you arrived at the Qianshan camp, you told the little general that I had escorted enough grain and grass for the army to set off for a month, and that it would take about ten to fifteen days to arrive at the Qianshan camp, and let the little general send troops to meet him from the Haichengwei, Gaichengwei, Jinzhouwei, and Lushun lines. ”

Zhang Er nodded heavily and said, "Don't worry, the villain will definitely bring the news." ”

In the end, Yuan Mingxuan said to the remaining subordinates: "Li San, you immediately rush to the capital with my name post and the token of the Tongzhou Town General Military Mansion, and find a way to meet Wei Zhongxian." You tell Father-in-law Wei that my Tongzhou Town is trying my best to raise grain and grass to transport to Qianshan for emergency relief, so that Father-in-law Wei must stabilize his position no matter what, give us at least ten days, and transport as much grain and grass as possible to Liaodong within these ten days. This matter is related to the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers on the front line, so Gonggong Wei must be cautious! ”

"Don't worry, the villain will set off."

After all three of his subordinates set off, Yuan Mingxuan let out a sigh of relief and muttered: "Fortunately, I met Qian Mingli, otherwise the little general would definitely run out of food!" Now that I have done everything I can do, I can only resign myself to fate whether I succeed or fail. There are still more than ten days to go, I hope there won't be any mistakes in the little general! ”

Not to mention that Sun Yuanhua immediately began to allocate grain and grass for shipment after receiving Yuan Mingxuan's news, nor did he say that Qian Mingli tried his best to mobilize sea ships at Tianjin Wei Wharf, but after Wei Zhongxian received Yuan Mingxuan's message, he said to Li San who sent the news with a smile: "Your Lord Yuan's intention has been received by the miscellaneous family, and the miscellaneous family can only ensure that the imperial court will not be in chaos within ten days, and the things after that will not be controlled by the miscellaneous family, let Lord Yuan do it himself." ”

Li San was overjoyed when he heard this, and left after bowing and thanking him.

Wei Zhongxian sat in the flower room, smiled faintly and said to himself: "This Yuan Mingxuan really has some means, then Liu Yunwei has many fierce generals who can fight habitually, and there are cadres like Yuan Mingxuan, who will definitely be a hero in the future!" I don't know what attitude I will have towards the miscellaneous family at that time. ”

After thinking for a while, Wei Zhongxian suddenly laughed, and then said to the door: "Come on, load the wood prepared by Your Majesty, and the miscellaneous family will go to the palace." ”
