Chapter 1018 The smoke is everywhere, and the Yan Kingdom is in chaos
Lin Feng has a strong attitude and does not give his opponent any respite, which is well known.
Now, although he can't immediately lead his troops to sweep the southern army, he still won't let the soldiers and forces of all parties run rampant in the territory of Yan State!
You can't hit hard, and you can't make it difficult for the other party to move an inch.
What's more, before the main army returned to the north, it had brief contact with the armies of all sides.
Soon, the generals dispersed, and they all followed Lin Feng's arrangement, either leading the troops to fight, or quickly building flying machines and training the army!
Northern!
In Yanguo, the smoke is everywhere, the war is continuous, and the people who have been devastated by the war have moved around with their families.
After several years of Lin Feng's reign, the northern land, which had restored calm, was once again immersed in the flames of war.
The counties that were harassed by the rebel army, the county guards reported the news in the county to the court, and for a while, news from all over the Yan Kingdom was presented on the palace dragon case.
Because the main army was fighting outside, he learned that the Yandi Quartet had revolted, and Wen Jishi, Situ and Han Xuejian, and Wang Lunyue discussed many times.
At the beginning of the uprising, Wen Jishi made a decisive decision and mobilized Hengbangchang, which was stationed in the southeast and southwest, and the Huangpu Xuan Army returned to Beijing.
The ministers of the court, the generals in the army, and the concubines of the harem discussed again.
Wang Lunyue, Murong Qiyan, who temporarily laid the country, strongly advocated Heng Bangchang, and Huang Puxuan led troops to exterminate the traitors.
The situation was urgent, Heng Bangchang led his army to the hometown of Zhao in the northwest, and Huangpu Xuan led the troops to the hometown of the Jin Kingdom in the east, and sent Lei Jieying, who complimented the Jing Division, to lead the guards to the hometown of Liang.
Wang Lunyue and Murong Qiyan personally arranged for the 100,000 Blue Feather Legion to defend the capital.
Garrison troops in various places to suppress nearby rebellions and ensure that there is no need to worry about governing the territory.
In addition, he sent dark swords from all over the north to secretly assassinate rebel leaders in various places.
For a time, all parts of Dayan, there were constant wars, and the places of uprisings were ruined and broken, with corpses and bones, and rivers of blood.
The peaceful life of various places in the past has been completely disrupted.
In the early stage of the uprising, in the demagogy of the soldiers, the number of rebel troops was small, and only the soldiers and armies were in chaos, and the news of the uprising was deliberately disseminated, making the uprising appear to be huge.
Therefore, after the destruction of the vassal states, they were suppressed by Lin Feng's iron blood, and under the co-optation of Huairou means, they gave up resisting the nobles of Zhao State, and gradually revived under the bewitchment of the soldiers.
Suddenly, all parts of the country responded to the uprising, and the uprising gradually became huge, spreading extremely quickly, and seemed to be showing signs of getting out of control.
After Heng Bangchang, Huang Puxuan, and Lei Jieying led their troops to fight everywhere, they were attacked by the Yan cavalry, and many rebels were either forcibly suppressed or scattered.
The Three Tiger Generals, with their iron-blooded means and rich combat experience, swept away the leaves in the autumn wind, severely damaged the rebel army, making the rebel army's sphere of influence gradually shrink.
At this time, Lei Jieying led the troops to spend half a month near the imperial capital of Liang State, severely damaged the rebels in Liang State, and completely annihilated the 20,000 soldiers lurking in the two Liang States, and dealt a heavy blow to the arrogance of the soldiers.
More importantly, when the battle situation was unfavorable, Lei Jieying took the initiative to surrender to the soldiers and surrendered the army, and slaughtered them all.
In the territory of the Liang State, the families and old nobles who participated in the uprising were all beheaded by their families, without exception.
In a short period of time, the territory of Liang was full of terror.
The news reached the Zhao State, and during the Jin State Uprising, many rebellious generals who were not strong took the initiative to dismiss the rebels and surrender to the Yan State, striving for survival.
Heng Bangchang and Huang Pu Xuan accepted the surrender of generals, and announced to the rebels that the main force of the Yan army had returned, and they would definitely go on a northern expedition to quell the rebellion, and all the rebels should not stubbornly resist.
It's a pity that the rebels of Zhao and Jin were bewitched by the soldiers, and they understood that Emperor Yan was fighting in the south, and it was difficult to return for a while.
Not only did they not take the initiative to disarm and surrender, but they took the initiative to send troops.
After several battles, he suffered a crushing defeat.
The generals of the rebel armies on all sides, realizing that the Yan army was strong, fought on their own, and not only could not resist, but also were exterminated.
At the instigation of the disciples of the soldiers, the rebel army gradually united, forming a revival army in the northwest of Zhao and a revival army in the east of the Jin country, and the two sides were strong.
The disciples of the soldiers purged many of the generals of the rebel army and completely controlled the two rebel armies.
In order to strengthen the momentum of the whole army and intimidate the Yan army, the two rebel armies each claimed to be 500,000 to the outside world, which was enough to sweep the Yan country and rebuild the mountains and rivers in an instant.
In this regard, before Lin Feng returned with his troops, the court officials paid special attention to it.
Although it was clear that the rebel army deliberately made a lot of nonsense, after a detailed investigation by the members of the Darksword, it was learned that both the Celestial Wolf Army and the Revival Army numbered about 150,000.
It is not a rumor that the two sides will unite to form a million lions and easily subvert Dayan.
However, even though the Heavenly Wolf Army and the Revival Army only had 300,000, it still made the Yan Army feel great pressure.
These rebel armies, whose combat power is not strong, are superior to the large number of rebels, at least, the rebel army of Dayan.
Therefore, after Lei Jieying quelled the rebellion of the Liang State, he immediately led his personal guards to the northwest and united with the Hengbangchang Army, and the two sides formed an encirclement of the Heavenly Wolf Army from both flanks.
There is no important general leadership from a soldier's background, the Sky Wolf Army is imposing, but it does not understand the rules, in the battlefield, after several fierce battles, the Yan Army defeated the Sky Wolf Army and firmly occupied the advantage.
Eastern region. Huang Pu Xuan led the troops to force the rebels to the coastal areas and controlled them within an effective range.
Within Dayan, there was a violent uprising, and almost all of them were in a state of decline.
If there is no accident, Lei Jieying, Heng Bangchang, and Huangpu Xuan, in the state of the main army not returning to help, can easily extinguish the Heavenly Wolf Army in the northwest and the revival army in the east of the Jin Kingdom.
It's a pity that there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, people have good and bad luck, and Yan Country is doomed to be doomed to disaster.
When the counterinsurgency of the Yan army was in full swing, Song Qi staged a coup d'Γ©tat in the Song State, imprisoned the empress, and not only supported the revival army that was forced to the eastern coast of the Jin State, but the Song army even suddenly attacked the Song-Yan border.
The Huangpu Xuan Army left the border of Yan and Song, causing a vacuum on the border of Yan State, and the Song army broke into the territory of Dayan.
All the way is like a bamboo, as if entering a no-man's land, in just half a month, breaking through the three counties on the border of Yan and Song.
It happened that the Jing Division only had 100,000 Blue Feather Legions, and Dayan's situation became extremely bad.
If the main force does not return in time, or there is no way to resolve it, the Yan State will show signs of destruction.
However, within the scheduled time, the emperor who returned did not return with the main army.
It was only the emperor's holy decree sent back by the members of the street dark sword, and the holy decree appeased the officials of the court and China, and waited patiently, but for a long time the main army did not return to help.
Yanjing, Yan Palace.
Han Xuejian hung the curtain, Wang Lunyue, Murong Qiyan was in the court, Wen Jishi, Situ and hundreds of officials gathered.
The court officials were full of scheming, but unfortunately there were no soldiers to fight in their hands, only 100,000 Blue Feather Legions, and they didn't dare to leave easily.
If there are military forces near Yanjing and take the opportunity to incite the people to revolt, the Beijing division will fall into the hands of the enemy in an instant.
"Empress Niang, Song Qi rebelled in the Song Kingdom, imprisoned the empress, General Huangpu and others, led the main army outside, and if you want to resolve the crisis, it seems that the only way to unite with the Chen State and use the Chen army to temporarily contain the Song army in the east!" Su Qin, who was in charge of the dark sword, took the initiative to make a suggestion.
"Master Su, Chen Guo was hit hard by the Song army, and his strength was extremely limited, not to mention, Chen Guo was too far away, and the whip was beyond his reach!" Wen Jishi left to deny Su Qin's proposal.
In the court, Wen Jishi, Wang Lunyue, Murong Qiyan, and Chu Fuyan are all masters of using soldiers, and they have privately considered the matter of uniting Chen Guo, but they are in the negative decision-making.
Su Qin's proposal was denied, and many Wenchen didn't know what to say for a while.
Wen Jishi glanced at the court officials and said: "If you want to resist the enemy, Yan Guo must save itself, you can't rely on external forces, and there is no external force to rely on!" β
"That's right, Niangniang, Weichen suggested that the last general personally recruit troops near Yanjing and lead the army to the east to defend against the enemy." Chu Fuyan made a suggestion.
Wen Jishi agreed with Chu Fuyan's proposal, turned to face Wang Lunyue and Murong Qiyan, who were sitting on the left and right of the dragon chair, and arched his hand: "Niangniang, when you are helpless, recruit the students of Jinyang Academy, in addition, recruit the guards and retainers of the various families in Jingshi, and strive to raise 50,000 troops, and finally lead the troops with Lord Chu to the southeast to resist the enemy." β
Recruiting troops for war?
"Lord Wen, time is pressing, and the temporary recruitment of the army is probably too tight." Situ stepped forward, doubting whether there was enough time for Wen Jishi to implement the Song army's advice when the city was attacking and plundering the land.
Without waiting for Master Wen Ji's words, Situ said: "At this moment, it is the best policy to gather the students of Jinyang Academy and recruit the retainers of each family. β
In the court, Situ presided over the decrees and major politics, and rarely participated in military affairs, however, not participating in it did not mean that he was not proficient in military affairs.
What's more, judging from the current situation, Song Qi learned that the main force of the Yan army had not returned, and he categorically would not give Dayan a chance to recruit troops.
"Well, this matter is in accordance with Lord Wen's suggestion!" Behind the gauze tent, Han Xuejian made a final decision and decided to recruit students from Jinyang Academy.
Hearing this, Wen Jishi nodded respectfully!
There was silence in the hall for a while, Wang Lunyue stood up, his face was embarrassed, he pondered for a moment, and his expression gradually became firm: "The situation is bad, and there is still a way to solve it."
Immediately summoned General Heng Bangchang to lead 20,000 cavalry back to Beijing, united with the students of Jinyang Academy, and stayed to defend the Beijing Division.
In addition, Lord Situ and Lord Chu recruited new troops near the capital, Lord Jane, Lord Su, and the members of the Dark Sword in the capital to arrest the wrongdoers in Yanjing City.
As long as you wait for the emperor to return with his troops, the problems faced by the court and China will be solved! β
"Niangniang, 20,000 troops defend the Beijing Division, is it too little, the queen, all the mothers, and the princes and princesses, safety is very important, and there can be no accidents!" When Wen Jishi heard this, he praised Wang Lunyue's arrangement, but he was full of worries about the safety of the royal family members.
"Lord Wen, the army under General Heng Bangchang is all lions in a hundred battles, and 20,000 Yan cavalry is enough, not to mention that the emperor leads the army, and it may return at any time." Wang Lunyue said in a firm tone.
Hearing this, Han Xuejian, who was behind the gauze curtain, said: "Lord Situ, immediately convey the holy decree to General Heng, General Lei is responsible for all matters in the northwest, do not seek to quell the rebellion, as long as the Sky Wolf Army is temporarily blocked!"
In addition, recruiting soldiers and investigating unscrupulous people also need to be launched quickly, and they must not be child's play! β
"Yes~!" Wen Jishi, Situ, Chu Fuyan, and Jian Yuyan all hugged their fists in response,
The ministers retreated from the court, Han Xuejian, Wang Lunyue, and Murong Qiyan met in the harem.
Han Xuejian said with a worried face: "Lun Yue, Qi Yan, is Xianggong in a crisis in the south?" Otherwise, the news has been out for more than half a month, why has it been delayed. β
In fact, according to Han Xuejian's understanding of Lin Feng, when there was a rebel army within Dayan, Lin Feng should lead the army to return, even if he did not lead the army back, at least send the army back.
How many troops there are in Dayan, the emperor is not unclear.
However, more than half a month has passed, and the emperor has not returned, and there is not a single soldier to be seen.
However, what Wang Lunyue and Murong Qiyan were worried about was not whether Lin Feng would encounter a crisis in the south, but how hundreds of thousands of Yan troops would cross the Yangtze River and reach Yan Kingdom safely.
In the court, they did not mention it to the ministers, nor did they say it to Han Xuejian, so they could only stabilize the current situation for the time being.
At this moment, hearing Han Xuejian's words, Wang Lunyue said: "Sister Queen, don't worry, Xianggong Ji people have their own natural appearance, and they said that they will definitely come back when they return with their troops." β
"That's right, no matter how the situation in Yan Kingdom deteriorates, as a last resort, you can gather the county soldiers stationed in various places to block the Song army." Murong Qiyan said.
"I hope so!" Han Xuejian said helplessly.
At this time, a guard hurriedly ran over, and after saluting the three of them, he hurriedly said: "Queen Mother, wait for the general to return, and your lords will return to the court again!" β
"What, General Hou, what about the emperor?" Hearing this, Han Xuejian was overjoyed and hurriedly asked.
Wang Lunyue, Murong Qiyan's eyes were also focused on the two of them.
"When the general returns, his subordinates have not yet asked."
Han Xuejian looked excited, and said to Wang Lunyue and the two daughters: "Lunyue, Qi Yan, go, go back to the court and have a look!" β
Hou Mingfeng's return made Han Xuejian and the three of them ignite infinite hope in their hearts.
As a close minister of the emperor's side, the return of Hou Mingfeng does not mean that the emperor has led the main army to return.
Hurriedly came to the court, Han Xuejian still carried the prince to listen to the government, Wang Lunyue, and Murong Qiyan entered and exited the court again.
In the court, hundreds of officials surrounded Hou Mingfeng, and heard that Hou Mingfeng was talking with Wen Jishi, Situ and other officials.
Han Xuejian and the three of them entered the court, and hundreds of officials saluted, Han Xuejian sat behind the gauze tent, and asked impatiently: "General Hou, the emperor led the troops to the south, and now there is a harvest in the south." β
"Queen Qi, everything is going well, the Yan army successfully destroyed Cai Guo, captured Cai Jun Cao Rong alive, the Yan army gained a firm foothold in the south, and even more want to continue to go south?"
Hearing this, Han Xuejian secretly took a breath, the situation in the south is very good, and he is really lucky. It also proves that the emperor is safe.
"There is General Lao, now, the Song army has sent troops to attack Dayan, and when General Hou returns, how many troops will he carry?" Han Xuejian asked,
This question was not only concerned by him, but also by the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and after asking, the eyes of the court officials were all focused on Hou Mingfeng.
Hou Ming's cover was calm, and he arched his hand to Han Xuejian: "Queen Mother, Wu Yue Cai Shuishi blocked the Yangtze River, and the last general returned, without carrying a single soldier. β
Call!
Hearing the sound, the Manchu Dynasty was horrified, the Yangtze River was blocked by the Southern Naval Division, Hou Mingfeng returned, without soldiers, although it was easy to get a thousand troops, it was difficult to find.
Hou Mingfeng alone can't change the unfavorable situation of Dayan!
Han Xuejian couldn't help asking: "General Hou, the emperor and the main army can't survive the Yangtze River natural danger, what is the way for the general to change Dayan's passive situation?" β
The officials of the DPRK and China once again focused their eyes on Hou Mingfeng's body, and their hearts were up and down.
At first, the hundred officials expected the emperor to lead the main army to return, exterminate the domestic rebels, and defeat the invading Song army.
Now, with the Yangtze River in danger, the emperor's troops are trapped in the south and cannot return to the rescue, and everything seems to be very bad.
When Hou Mingfeng did not enter the palace, he guessed the ending, understood the worries of Han Xuejian and the ministers, and comforted: "Queen, my lords, don't worry, although there is a danger of the Yangtze River, it cannot stop the emperor's return, and within half a month, the emperor and the generals will return safely."
In addition, when the last general returns, there is also a strategy to break the enemy. β
