Emperor Ming Fengyunlu

Volume VIII Troubled Times

Chapter 5 The situation in the DPRK is turbulent and the troops are withdrawn

Section 1 Bad news continues

In the sixth year of the Apocalypse (the tenth year of the Later Jin Mandate of Heaven), at the end of June, the Acropolis of Haizhou.

Less than a month ago, Liu Yunwei led the main army composed of officers and soldiers of the Middle Route Army and the West Route Army to march eastward, all the way like a bamboo, and successively recovered dozens of castles such as Xiping Fort, Pingyang Bridge Fort, Shalingyi, Xining Fort, etc., and the army directly crossed the Liaohe River under the Acropolis of Linhai Prefecture.

At the same time, Lu Ying also received an order from Liu Yunwei to lead the soldiers of the Eastern Route Army to the north, and successfully joined forces with the main army led by Liu Yunwei under the Acropolis of Haizhou. At this point, Haizhou Wei was completely surrounded by more than 200,000 soldiers of the Hanwei Army.

However, what made Liu Yunwei feel extremely annoyed was that the Haizhou Acropolis was already an empty city at this time, and Huang Taiji had already led the main army of Jiannu to withdraw to Shengjing a few days ago, leaving only hundreds of old and weak soldiers to bluff in Haizhou Wei, so as to interfere with Liu Yunwei's judgment of the battle situation and delay the pace of the Hanwei army to the north.

After discovering the movements of the Jiannu army, Liu Yunwei immediately led the army north to attack Anshan City, and then recovered the two important towns of Liaoyang and Shenyang all the way, completely crushing the criminal rule of Jiannu in Liaodong. However, due to some problems in the supply of money and food in the rear, more than 200,000 soldiers of the Hanwei Army could not immediately go north, so they could only stay in Haizhouwei, which lasted for nearly a month.

With Liu Yunwei's unremitting efforts, everything was finally ready, just the day before the soldiers of the Hanwei army sent their troops to the north, Liu Yunwei received an urgent report sent back by a team of sharp whistles: "Nurhachi was seriously injured and died, and on the day he returned to Shengjing, he vomited blood several liters and died. ”

Liu Yunwei was overjoyed after receiving this news, laughed like crazy, pointed to the sky and shouted: "Slave chief! You have it too! After you arrive in the Netherworld, I will see how you will face millions of unjust souls in Liaodong! I'm going to let you watch in hell how I can destroy your slaves! How to kill the entire Jiannu clan! ”

However, just when Liu Yunwei was bent on going north, when the morale of more than 200,000 soldiers of the Hanwei army was high and they were about to destroy Jiannu, Yuan Chonghuan sent a full 1,000 men and horses to escort a team of messengers to Haizhouwei. This urgent letter was forwarded by Wei Zhongxian to Yuan Mingxuan, and it was not an official document of the imperial court, but a personal letter.

Liu Yunwei saw that Yuan Chonghuan had sent heavy troops to escort him all the way, and knew that this letter was very important, so he hurriedly opened the letter, and before he could read it for a while, he stood on the spot like five thunderbolts. After a long time, Liu Yunwei sat on the chair with a pale face, and sighed heavily, as if he had unloaded all his strength, which made people feel sad when they heard it.

"Ji Liao Inspector personally revealed:

Since the Governor led the army north to conquer Liaodong, the Zajia has been trying his best to stabilize the situation in the court, in order to ensure the continuous supply of money and food for the Liao army.

And to this day, the great victory of the Liao army is frequently reported, first there is the Ningyuan great victory to recreate the main force of the slave, and then there is the great victory of Guangning, the great victory of southern Liaoning, our country has recovered many cities in southern Liaoning and Guangning, and the morale of the people of the country has been greatly increased, and now the superintendent is leading hundreds of thousands of troops to Linhai State Guard, it is the time to defeat Jiannu in one fell swoop, recover the whole Liao, and shame before the snow, although the miscellaneous family is a slave of long live can not help but be happy.

However, there are unforeseen storms and clouds, just three days ago, when Banzai traveled in a dragon boat in the Xuanwu Pond, the dragon boat he took was caught in the wind and waves and capsized, and Banzai accidentally fell into the water. Now Banzai has been bedridden to recuperate, but because of the fright, and the lake water hurt the heart and lungs, the condition of the dragon's body is very worrying, and he can only drink the spirit dew distilled from grains every day, so that he is getting thinner and thinner.

Although the miscellaneous family is a slave, but also know that the country is unstable, the army is not good, now the long live dragon body is getting worse, and there is no heir to be the prince, once long live the funeral, the court will be in chaos, but also hope that the superintendent will make plans as soon as possible, as soon as possible! ”

The content of this letter was repeated over and over again in Liu Yunwei's mind, and each repetition would make Liu Yunwei's mood a little heavier. Thinking that the good situation that he and 300,000 soldiers had fought bloodily was about to come to naught, Liu Yunwei's heart was like a knife twisting, and his heart was painful!

Moreover, Yuan Mingxuan also attached the opinion given by the Investigation Division at the back of the letter: At present, His Majesty's situation is critical, once His Majesty returns to heaven, Wei Zhongxian will inevitably fight with the ministers of the DPRK and China for his own safety, in order to compete for authority, and then the army of Zhengliao will face the danger of being cut off from support, and it is very likely that Jiannu will seize the opportunity to turn the tables. Moreover, His Majesty has no children under his knees, and who will inherit the throne is also a big problem, and it is difficult to guarantee that no one will do anything from it and cause chaos to the dynasty. Therefore, please also ask the superintendent to return to the court as soon as possible.

At this time, Guo Yi walked quickly up to the city wall, came to Liu Yunwei's side and said, "Supervisor Qiqi, the battalion leaders and generals have already arrived with Governor Zhou and Governor Hu. ”

Liu Yunwei nodded, walked down the city wall without saying a word, and rode his horse to the prefect's yamen.

As soon as he entered the lobby, Liu Yunwei saw Lu Ying, Wen Poyu, Wu Xing, Zhao Kaishan, Li Tianhao, Wang Kangdang, Huang Fuming, Gao Hongguang, and Zhou Tianyi and Hu Kun, two governors, sitting in two columns in the hall.

When everyone saw Liu Yunwei coming, they all got up and saluted, and said in unison: "The lowly (subordinate) has seen the superintendent!" ”

Liu Yunwei waved his hand with an unkind face and walked directly to the top of the lobby. Seeing this, everyone felt a thrill in their hearts: "What's going on?" ”

"This governor has received the exact news from the whistle: the slave chief Nurhachi was seriously injured and died, and on the day he returned to Shengjing, he vomited blood several liters and died, and now Jiannu Dabeile Daishan and Azigetaiji have joined forces to protect the succession of the four Beile Emperor Taiji, and there is a power struggle within Jiannu, which has led to the defense of Shengjing is very lax, and the soldiers and horses of Jiannu are also demoralized and have no will to fight!"

Hearing this, everyone cheered indulgently, and Wen Poyu, Lu Ying and other generals even burst into tears and couldn't help themselves; And Zhao Kaishan shouted even louder: "What are you waiting for, big brother? Go north! Recapture Liaoyang, recapture Shenyang! Let's go home! ”

Hearing this, Liu Yunwei couldn't help but burst into tears, looked up to the sky and sighed, and shook his head helplessly. Everyone was startled when they saw this, and Zhao Kaishan asked in a low voice, "Big brother, is something wrong?" ”

"I received news from the DPRK and China: Your Majesty traveled by boat not long ago, and accidentally the dragon boat capsized and fell into the water, and now Your Majesty may be killed at any time, and there may be turmoil in the DPRK and China at any time, Wei Zhongxian suggested that the army should return to the DPRK with this division."

As soon as the words fell, everyone looked incredible, Lu Ying, Wen Poyu, Wu Xing and other generals were all unwilling, and their anger was full of nowhere to vent; And Zhou Tianyi and Hu Kun looked sad, and they couldn't stop sighing and stomping on the ground, lamenting that the sky had no eyes!

"What do you mean by big brother?" Lu Ying hurriedly stepped forward and asked, obviously still unwilling. After all, the 300,000 soldiers of the Hanwei Army fought several bloody battles, and sacrificed tens of thousands of soldiers to recover a large area of territory.

Liu Yunwei frowned and thought for a while, and said, "Judging from the news sent by Wei Zhongxian and the Investigation Division, Your Majesty's situation is very dangerous now, and there is a great possibility of chaos in the DPRK and China. However, I always feel that things are still a little better, as long as Your Majesty can support another month, as long as the DPRK and China can pass through a month without incident, I am sure that I will completely annihilate Jiannu and end the war in Liaodong! So, I want to take a gamble! If the bet is won, Jiannu will be completely wiped out and the entire territory of Liaodong will be completely recovered; If you lose the bet, it's a big deal that let's fight back to the gate together, I don't believe that Jiannu can still stop the pace of our army! You know, there will never be a next time to kill such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to kill the slave chief, if we wait until the future to go north to Liaodong, it is difficult to guarantee that Jiannu will not have regrouped! ”

After listening to Liu Yunwei's words, almost everyone was moved, and everyone's eyes looking at Liu Yunwei were full of bloodthirsty and belligerent desires. At this time, although no one spoke in the lobby, the expressions of everyone were enough to explain everything!

Liu Yunwei slowly stood up, looked at everyone with a pair of tiger eyes, and said, "Since this is the case, then let's take a gamble!" I order: the officers and men of the battalions immediately begin mobilization, and the army will ...... three days later"

Before Liu Yunwei finished speaking, he saw Guo Yi rushing in in a panic, and the expression on his face could be described as mixed, frightened, angry, regretful, and all kinds of emotions were mixed up.

Everyone looked at Guo Yi, and an ominous premonition spread in the red of the Tang Dynasty. Liu Yunwei also looked at Guo Yi in shock, and asked stiffly: "What's wrong!" ”

"Overseer! The Investigation Division hurriedly came to report: Just three days after His Majesty fell into the water, a large explosion of unknown reason suddenly occurred in the capital! In the capital, Wang Gongchang was razed to the ground for more than ten miles, tens of thousands of houses collapsed, many big trees were uprooted, the ground burst out, and two large pits more than ten zhang deep appeared. The explosion was very strange, for example, a large stone lion weighing 5,000 catties on Shijuma Street was actually thrown out of Shunchengmen (now Xuanwu Gate), and in the area of Xi'an Gate, iron slag the size of rice grains flew and splashed in the air; In the area of Chang'an Street, heads fall from the air from time to time, and some only have eyebrows and noses, especially outside the Desheng Gate; Dozens of big trees in the capital actually flew in Miyun; What is even more incredible is that many of the dead and wounded, men and women, young and old, were naked.

Moreover, in this explosion, the sedan chair in which Xue Fengxiang, Fang Zhuangli, and Wu Zhongwei, who were close to the Donglin family, were damaged, and everyone died tragically in the sedan chair without exception.

His Majesty who was recuperating also felt a big shock, got up under the support of the eunuch and rushed out of the Qianqing Palace and went straight to the Jiaotai Palace. ”

After listening to this, Liu Yunwei's face turned ashen, and he asked in a trembling voice: "What is the situation in the DPRK and China now?" ”

Guo Yihu said with tears in his eyes: "Now there is chaos in the DPRK and China, and there is a saying that the explosion is too weird, many people say that it is because the DPRK and the DPRK are in addition to Wei Zhongxian, a traitor, so God has only lowered the punishment, and many ministers have begun to challenge Wei Zhongxian; And Wei Zhongxian seems to be dealing with it, preparing to launch another operation to eliminate dissent. Governor Yuan said in the letter: Please ask the superintendent to return to the court immediately, and do not hesitate for a moment! ”

After hearing this, Liu Yunwei suddenly burst out, kicked the table in front of him, and roared loudly with blood-red eyes: "The sky has no eyes!" Help the thief not help me! ”()
