Chapter 152: (Ready)

In the first year of Fengtian, March 22, the auspicious day of the zodiac, the Tianzhu Palace in Luoyang, Kyoto

Shangguan Yin Feng is still sitting in his own position, just under the head of the little emperor, today's court meeting is extraordinary, because today is an important day for Shangguan Yin Feng to announce the Northern Expedition to Hebei, after the various departments reported the matter, Shangguan Yin Feng waved his hand, and the inner servant standing aside read: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said, I ordered the king of Changsha to command the three armies, go to Hebei, pacify the rebellious party, Qin this... "

Shangguan Yin Feng stood up, walked to the bottom of the steps, held the holy decree in both hands, bowed to the little emperor and said, "The minister Yin Feng received the decree... "

After speaking, he walked to the steps and announced very calmly: "Order, order Li Xiucheng to recruit envoys from Hebei, Qian Menglong, Ouyang Qing, He Qing as deputy generals, command the 100,000 army of Anyang, supervise the whole army, and attack Handan... "

"Whew... "

"The herald ordered General Chai Shang to be the escort officer of the grain and grass this time... "Shangguan Yin Feng can't help it, Chai Shang because of the defeat in Hebei makes the DPRK and China have different views on him, after all, he is He Jingfeng's Wei general, but Shangguan Yin Feng's attitude towards Chai Shang is very firm, Chai Shang's military talent cannot be denied, and the defeat in Hebei is not what he wants to see, so, in order to give Chai Shang the opportunity to make up for his achievements, this time he specially ordered Chai Shang to escort grain and grass, after all, this expedition to Hebei Shangguan Yin Feng decided to send 300,000 troops, and the 300,000 army of grain and grass for a day is incalculable, so don't look at it as a grain and grass escort officer, as long as the war in Hebei is over, then he, the escort officer, can also get the credit he deserves...

In order to make the Northern Expedition smooth, Shangguan Yin Feng in addition to the grain and grass around Luoyang Jinggi, respectively in Nanyang Daying, Sichuan Buzheng and Changsha transported grain and grass, which was due to the great injury of Changsha before the vitality, so the grain and grass were also the least, the most is naturally Sichuan Buzheng, of course, this is a small dish for Zhang Tao, Shangguan Yin Feng knows that the grain in Nanyang alone can cope with the rations of the 300,000 army for at least half a year, not to mention the Shu land where the longest recuperation is ...

"The order, ordering Jia Fu to be the deputy envoy of Hebei, Wu Han, Deng Yu and others to be the deputy generals, leading an army of 100,000, supervising the whole army, starting from Puyang, attacking Nanpi Cangzhou, and marching towards Fanyang... "

"Whew... "

After the two armies were arranged, Shangguan Yin Feng looked at Li Yanqing, who was still below, and then said in a deep voice: "This king will personally lead an army of 100,000 troops, starting from Linzhang, Anyang, to attack Handan, and then join forces with Li Xiucheng, march towards Zhuangzhou, and conquer the northern general Li Yanqing to listen to the order, and order you to be the vanguard of the army all the way, Cao Zhen is the vanguard of the second way, lead the army of 10,000, and go to Handan... "

Li Yanqing finally waited until today, so he stood up in line and said: "The last general Li Yanqing will take the order... "

In order to prevent Li Yanqing from being indecisive in the confrontation between the anti-army in He Hebei, Shangguan Yin Feng privately specially explained to Cao Zhen that as long as Li Yanqing delayed and did not move, he could also arrest Li Yanqing if he acted directly, even if Li Yanqing was a talent, but at such a fatal moment as the war, he must not be merciful, otherwise he would only become someone else's knife.

In fact, Shangguan Yin Feng is somewhat satisfied with this situation, Cao Cao in later generations is to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the world, and now he has done this, but the world is not yet complete, otherwise he will transform again and become Cao Pi.

"Also, send someone to bring a message to Liu Xuan and the Tuoba clan, and ask them to lead the army to attack Zhuangzhou directly, and after the king takes Handan, he will go to Zhuangzhou to meet them, and tell them not to be greedy, and delay the warplane."

Shangguan Yin Feng's worries are not unreasonable, and the Tuoba clan is better to say, but Liu Xuan's people were originally an army composed of a group of rich people and peasants from Bingzhou, and they took the merit when they saw it, and robbed it when they saw the finances, so it was inevitable that they were attracted by the local wealth in a certain city on the way to Zhuangzhou, and Shangguan Yin Feng had to make such a consideration, and it can be seen from Kou Xian's asking him for food that Liu Xuan was actually not rich.

As a result, from the beginning of the first Northern Expedition led by Yuan Huan, to last year, until this year, it was also the third Northern Expedition.

Hebei, Beiping City, Dayan Imperial Palace

Yuan Jingchu sat on the dragon platform, below is a group of civil and military ministers, since the defeat of Cangzhou, Yuan Jingchu's strength has been greatly reduced, under the advice of the ministers, began to expand Beiping City, ready to use the high city wall to block the future attack from the Cheng Dynasty and Liu Xuan and other thieves, and began to accumulate grain, dig deep wells in Beiping City, accumulate grain, and prepare for follow-up matters.

"Your Majesty, now that the third layer of the city wall has been completed, Weichen has urged those workers to prepare to start building the fourth city wall, if the city wall is all completed, the capital can accommodate millions of soldiers, and there is so much grain and grass that it will be no problem to hold on for a year."

Listening to the report of the people below, Yuan Jingchu just nodded silently, Yuan Shijie's death hit him very hard, although Yuan Shijie is only the third son, but his martial arts are undoubtedly the most powerful of the four brothers of the Yuan family, although Yuan Shiwen is the eldest son, but Yuan Jingchu intends to pass the throne to Yuan Shijie, after all, Yuan Shijie has a high status in the hearts of the generals of the Great Yan Kingdom.

When Yuan Jingchu learned that Yuan Shijie was dead, he even turned a lot of gray hair overnight, but he didn't expect that his own son, who was the same age as Shangguan Yin Feng, but had a few years older than Shangguan Yin Feng, died in the hands of his sworn brother's son, if he didn't rebel, they might be friends and brothers who had a good relationship.

"Report..."A guard on duty hurriedly walked into the main hall, knelt down towards Yuan Jingchu and said, "Your Majesty, Handan is urgent." ā€

"Biography..."

A soldier with a helmet and armor hurriedly walked into the main hall, knelt down on one knee towards Yuan Jingchu and said: "Your Majesty, the last general is a general under the command of General Zhennan, and he was ordered by the general to go to the capital to deliver the news, according to our spies, Shangguan Yin Feng, the prince regent of the Cheng Dynasty, announced half a month ago that he was ready to gather 300,000 troops to attack Hebei after the beginning of spring, and divided the troops into two routes, one route was Jia Fu led an army of 100,000 to detour through Qizhou to attack my Nanpi and Cangzhou, and the other route was Shangguan Yin Feng personally commanded the troops, and went out of Anyang to attack my Handan, and, The Tuoba clan in the northwest and the Gengshi regime in Bingzhou jointly sent 150,000 troops to attack our Zhuangzhou, and now the situation is clear, the enemy army is beginning to assemble, and the general asks the emperor to send troops to reinforce my Handan. ā€

As soon as these words came out, the hall shook, the ministers still whispered, Yuan Jingchu frowned, if this situation is true, then it can be determined that Shangguan Yin Feng has a firm belief that he will not take Hebei this time and will not go back, and he will suffer a loss in the fight: "Prime Minister, how many soldiers do I still have in the court?" ā€

"Your Majesty, our army now has 100,000 besieging troops outside Liaoyang, 100,000 troops in the capital, 70,000 troops in Handan, and 80,000 troops in Zhuangzhou, and the people guarding the two places are all capable generals of our dynasty, I believe that we should be able to hold out for several months and wait for the emperor to send troops to support."

"What about the cavalry? What about my cavalry? Yuan Jingchu suddenly thought of this, the reason why he was able to run rampant in Hebei was to rely on the Liaobei cavalry under his command, otherwise, even the emperor would not have the courage.

"Back to the emperor..."A man dressed as a military general in the queue stood up and said: "In the first battle of Cangzhou, General Yuan Han took away the few cavalry in the capital, and now the number of cavalry in our dynasty is only 30,000, and they are all in the hands of the general Yuan Long. ā€

"It's only 30,000..."Yuan Jingchu sighed secretly, there was no way, now he had two choices, one was to mobilize the troops in Beiping City to support Handan and Zhuangzhou, and ensure that the two places were not lost; The second is to give up the siege of Liaoyang, withdraw Yuan Long, and let Yuan Long lead the 100,000 troops in his hands to Zhuangzhou and Handan, but now neither plan seems to be feasible, but if you don't support it, let go of Handan and Zhuangzhou, I'm afraid that the whole of Hebei will not be protected, and his Yuan Jingchu's Beiping City will be lost.

"Spread my will, order Yuan Long to lead an army of 50,000 back to Beijing, transfer 50,000 troops from the capital, and hand them over to Yuan Long to lead to support Handan and Zhuangzhou, Chen Xun led 50,000 troops, still besieged Liaoyang, but told him not to launch any attack to stimulate Chen Cheng, lest they go out of the city to engage our army after learning the news."

"Whoa..."
